oh! that's a good one. general curiosity, do you make playlists for projects? on the topic of songs and ibvs, are there any specific artists and/or genres you associate with ibvs? do you have any song associations for specific characters?
this ask is from 2021… looks like we're doing this now… whoops…
so what usually ends up happening is that I make a playlist afterwards rather than before. I don't think I've made a project or fandom playlist since 2021-22ish, but back when I did, I would just kinda throw em together, not necessarily for inspiration, but just for fun. I don't have a full playlist I'd consider updated and complete anymore, here are a handful of songs I associate with ibvs a while ago:
high dive by shaed is the honorary intro music
young and menace by fall out boy
sugar honey ice & tea by bring me the horizon
don't go outside by poppy
the judge by twenty one pilots
everything is fine by all time low
just pretend by bad omens
suffer by get scared
giants by imagine dragons
most of the time I end up associating whatever I listen to the most with whatever I'm currently creating. so, only some of these songs are ones I listen to all the time, so whatever works works.
meanwhile, more accurately, I tend to associate ibvs with video game music. it kinda takes the edginess factor out of it, which I prefer honestly. offline I make a lot of jokes about ibvs being a kingdom hearts style game, so all the boss music in those games make me think of ibvs now. nintendo music, sonic music, orchestra mixes, any music that sounds like it'd play in the bg of whatever felix is scheming (read: team skull theme from pokemon mystery dungeon), metal gear rising music, silvagunner mixes, that's where my brain goes a lot. for me, ibvs is a fake game at heart.

Hello, feel free to ignore this message as it may be a waste of your time but if you do spend the time to read it then thank you very much.
I would normally send this type of thing in DMs but I prefer letting myself stay hidden, plus, it could annoy you even more than if I posted that here so yeah.
I just really wanted to thank you for creating Dreamswap, I know that it’s pretty inactive lately and that you don’t really post on it anymore but thank you for creating such likeable characters.
Things haven’t been great on my side lately but even on my darkest days, just talking or thinking about Dreamswap scenarios managed to bring a smile on my face and actually let me feel relaxed when things went to shit so thank you.
Your creations were able to pull me out of a dark, dark hole and even if it was temporary each time, it still felt very relieving so for that, thank you very much.
You don’t know me and I don’t know you either but you helped me a lot through shitty times without being aware of it.
So again, thank you, for everything.
hey there. this ask got sent to me in yonder 2022; I just wanted to thank the person that sent it. I go back through my inbox to find asks like these and reread them, but I feel a bit bad that I didn't answer directly back then. what was going on in my head back then, it was kind of a mess, maybe I was sort of intimidating back when I was in a crummier situation than I am now. I really appreciate the kind words. they inspire me to try and keep having fun, and they make me feel a little better in the current mess of internet culture and what feels like people just consuming stuff and forgetting about it a couple minutes later. so, thanks. it's really kind!

fixing the monika chapters was meant to be a 1-day task, but all the formatting in chapter 12 turned out to be broken when I pasted it into ao3, so it took longer than expected. but yes, now they're done. and they're a little better now. I've changed a lot of the dialogue, so they're probably going to warrant a reread. like, please cleanse your mind of what these chapters used to be (why did nevin hate women so much)

man. I've already edited the monika chapters some, yet I must edit them more, and this frightens me (the dialogue hurts to read. specifically nevin's dialogue. that's why)
edit: oh no… it's even worse than I thought… how did it turn out like this (he finds out she's a supernatural being, makes fun of the way she looks and immediately lets her in the house??) yeah. I'm needing to change way more about this than I originally planned
