I've been feeling playlisty recently, so a few weeks ago I did a Twitter meme where I asked people for prompts for 5-song playlistlets about things we both liked, which I would make in the next week.

...it has now been almonst a month, but on the other hand almost every playlist on this list has more than 5 songs in it, so really it was an equal-opportunity lie!


clones (star wars) for bluestalking - I uh for sure had this one ready to go already, mostly with songs siphoned off from the playlist for my clone amateur oral historian character from our last tabletop campaign

bash for jothra - relatedly, the playlist for my clone amateur oral historian character from our last tabletop campaign

wild theatrical productions for evewithanapple - I was not sure whether this prompt meant 'songs from wild theatrical productions' or 'the mood of creating/experiencing a wild theatrical production', so I attempted to do the second with the first? please note that 'wild' is not a condemnation, some of these are from productions I think are legitimately delightful and some from productions I sincerely believe are terrible

Kay for aella_irene - this was surprisingly difficult, the only thing in my personal feelings about Sir Kay that for sure I feel like I captured was my strong belief that he spends his entire life annoyed and stressed

Russian Doll for aberration - this is another one I definitely had cued up and ready to go already

the Iron Bull (Dragon Age) for agonistes - the Land Down Under here represents Ferelden

bog bodies - shati forbade me from using Zombie by The Cranberries in this playlist, which, technically, I did not

UNIONS! - happydork is lucky this playlist was not composed entirely of Daniel Kahn songs

True Pretenses by Rose Lerner for sophia_sol - this one was so much fun to do AND coincidentally also gave me an excuse to use another Daniel Kahn song >.>

Ernest Shackleton Loves Me for pseudo_tsuga - an attempt at conveying the Mood of this great work without using any actual songs from the show

Princess Tutu - ok YOU guys all know that my personal playlist for this is LENGTHY, but the person who requested it is my roommate M and we've just finished watching S1, so I had to leave off more than half the things I would put on it until a later date when they will make sense >.>

Twelve Kingdoms for izilen - another playlist I have had ready to go for years just waiting for someone to ask me about it

the specific emotion of yankumi pretending that shin rescued her from the scary gang member she just beat up for esmenet - this is indeed a very specific delightful emotion which I did my best to capture!

trapped in an inn for nextian - a mediocre playlist for a great prompt, I would LOVE more suggestions for songs that express the feeling of 'I'm been stuck for a week in this place with a bunch of people I don't like OH WAIT no nevermind I love them now'


Feel free to chime in with a.) song suggestions for any of these playlists or b.) more prompts, I am always looking to grow my music collection and I continue to find playlisting a pleasant and soothing activity.

I would like to join the rest of the world in registering my joy over YULETIDE ASSIGNMENTS! I am writing a bit more out of my comfort zone this year and I am totally excited; the only bad thing about having my college roommate visiting this week (which is something otherwise awesome in all respects) is that I cannot get started immediately.

HOWEVER: I will admit that I felt kind of guilty about not offering or requesting the Dalemark Quartet this year for Yuletide (I love it so! But there are many requests for it already, and I wrote it last year, so it is off the roster for this year). So, to overcome these feelings of guilt, I decided to spam my flist with a very long Dalemark playlist!

DO NOT QUESTION MY LOGIC.
