#using song lyrics to write a story

[justanotherfannerd]

I just hate your stupid face

This idea is so old, but I heard the song again today and I just couldn't help myself. I told myself that I would never write a songfic, but damnit, this song is literally just saiki. Like, look:

"Come on Saiki! Don't I at least deserve to know why you're avoiding me so much?

He grit his teeth, this little game had gone on for too long and it was time he ended it. If passiveness didn't work, he was just going to have to be direct. "… I just really hate your face."

Teruhashi rolled her eyes.

"Though I know that won't surprise you."

She flipped her hair and crossed her arms.

"But, to me, your skin is one giant wart"

She barked out a laugh, her skin was flawless, they both knew that.

"And your laugh's one big snort"

She glared at him for that one.

"And you stink, so in short,"

She gave him an unimpressed look.

"I despise you."

She looked hurt at that remark but otherwise bit her tongue. She swallowed thickly and then stood up straight managing to look down on him despite the fact that he was taller than her.

"You disgrace the human race," He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"'Cause you're more of a mosquito."

He crossed his arms as he watched her continue to try and come up with things to insult him with.

"I would rather have the dentist and drill," an eyebrow rose at the unfamiliar idea of what a dentist visit entailed, "Then this swine in the swill."

He clicked his tongue. "Are you done?"

"And if you were a bill, I would veto."

"Too bad."

"And if the world was perfect, you would be gone without a trace,"

He flinched at that one.

"But since the world could never be that great," She made sure to bump his shoulder as she walked away from him and the conversation, "I'll just hate your stupid face."

He clenched his hands at his side, unsure why his heart suddenly felt so heavy in his chest.

This is what he wanted right? For her to move on from him? But . . . hate? That's . . . that's more than he bargained for.

He shook his head and continued down the opposite end of the hallway.

Whatever, she'll forget she's even mad at me within a week.

This got to be really long, but you get the idea. I kinda chose the worst verse to start with, but it's giving enemies to lover vibes except their not enemies and Saiki just doesn't understand his feelings and is taking it out on Teruhashi but she is patient and has a good feeling that he likes her and if she continues to wait he'll realize it. She's right. Saiki just has to be a little stupid first, that's all. And if you know how the rest of this song goes, you know that I would eat the angst up. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner baby. Anyway, yeah. I have like 5 other projects I'm working on, so if I did this it wouldn't come out for a while. But! If there is interest, I will supply for the demand.

Song of the Day: December 1. Starting this again! It has been years

"Soap" by the Oh Hellos

#song of the day #I used to use these posts as a sort of daily babbling opportunity and I'm gonna give that a shot again #I'm awful at journaling (for all that I'll tell a story about my day at the drop of a hat I just can't seem to write it down for me) #but a good few of the dumb little articles I've found in my desperate searching for insomnia aids have recommended journals #sleep or otherwise #and I do think it helped me keep track of days/times/general impressions of how I was feeling back when I did this before #so I'm gonna try it again! #if y'all'd like a more specific blockable tag just let me know #anyway I love this song and I was thinking a silly thing earlier and it started autoplaying in my head and I was like /perfect/ #silly concept aside the song itself is a delight. a great sound very fun to sing and clever lyrics #'a rudimentary lye; some kind of miraculous bind' #and I'm just sentimental/superstitious enough to be happy starting this frantic attempt to train my brain into sleeping again #with a song that ends with 'it's gonna hurt like hell / but we're going to be well / I'll give you my best shot'

** i think reading dungeon meshi and frieren and witch hat atelier at the same time does something irreversibleto you... .

#yu.txt #relistening to the wizard the witch and the wild one too so whatever happens to me after this will unthread/resew the fabric of my existenc #do you see it? do you see the vision? im pacing around the house humming “your eyes are the size of the moon” from a song i used to hear #on the radio as a kid and i'll look up the lyrics later but i finally get itnow. i get why people were making posts about senshi and cookin #and nourishing yourself!! eat a balanced diet rethink your lifestyle rhythms get proper exercise!! yes sir senshi dungeon meshi sir!! #my dnd group is going to get my best character yet im putting notes in the character sheet as speak for devouring and consuming and becomin #song was nine in the afternoon btw. i have to write i have to make a story i have to make the most diabolical au to ever exist i have to #i love you stories i love you stories i love you stories if stories were a food i could eat them forever and ever i would always be cooking #and baking and sharing and the table would be full and the meals would be filling and i would try so many things and find what i liked best #this post was brought to you by: the birds are chirping but its not tomorrow morning until i go to sleep. with a note from our sponser: #i don't have work tomorrow and nature is healing. i need to make a little wizard sketch bc dungeon meshi was so good and also i m going to #sleep and when i wake up im going to write something and it will be so fun i love you making stuff i love you stories i love you writing!!

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying

#it’s good crying dw i am just. i have so many feelings about this story #Seven’s Celestial Commentary #Everything Stays #writing stuff #i may be stuck in bed struggling to type due to personal reasons but that will Not stop me from cooking up ideas for this fic #there is gonna be so much fucking angst and it’s gonna hurt soooooo good #the more i listen to it the more the possibilities expand #i can easily see Moon and Reader going back and forth between verses vulnerably arguing over Sun #but i can also see it being Sun and Moon getting real and discussingcougharguingover Reader #can’t decide which i like more #god i wish y’all could see this story the way it plays out in my head #next best thing would be to keep writing and sharing the story instead of vagueposting abt future plot points tho wouldn’t it lmao #and GOD don’t even get me fucking STARTED on Two Hearts… #Dermot Kennedy’s music is responsible for yet Another plot point for this story and i can’t even be mad about it. his fucking lyricsss dude #‘and so we jump to the THEATER??? in that SAME OLD TOWN???’ DO WE? FUCK I GUESS WE DO NOW!!! #picture me listening to that song and inspiration hitting me like a truck. diligently taking notes like the lyrics r instructions from God #‘she sees his face?? and HE sees HER as the LIGHTS GO DOWN???’ write that down write that down #‘the life that they should’ve had sat between them that night??’ FUCK Man yeah it sure did!!! #anyways it’s chill i’m chill. i’m very normal about my little stories and their musical inspirations! #and i’ve listened to these songs a very normal amount (translation: they will likely be in my top ten for the 2024 wrapped) #(cut to the scenes playing vividly in my head) ‘Well‚ at least I can always say that I /told/ her!’ #‘I can’t relate to having a heart like that‚ Sun! With all of your wonder and your trust intact…’ #like no i wouldn’t lift the lyrics directly for the song to use as dialogue but FUCk does it work well.. Lucky is such a good script for- #like- a heated conversation between my Relentlessly Positive Sun and my Apathetic Jaded Moon #‘How could our farewell mean as much as our time? Honey‚ I’ll be gone. It’s better if I’m something that you leave behind.’ #‘I used to paint these trees‚ now I just scream at the sky. Honey I was wrong. Guess there’s certain things you never leave behind.’ #*sobbing shaking throwing up clawing at the walls* I Am Normal About These Characters #anyways uh. on an unrelated note how many song lyrics do ya think i can cram into ES before it’s Too Many #gonna have to start getting creative with how i can incorporate more songs in a way that feels natural and not forced #even tho i am forcing it. i am forcing it very much bc i have songs with applicable lyrics and y’all Will read them one way or another

[aparticularbandit]

please understand if i have either junko or ryoko (depending - it's complicated) say you found me at the end of the second fic, it is definitely a reference, and it is definitely a reference specifically to anohana.

if you know, you know.

#musings #bandit writes fic #dr1 end rewrite fic #i don't think it would hold the same weight though #there's SO much emotional weight to that in anohana #-sighs- #i'm just hurting myself over here #hm where's the clannad opening #for after story #because nagisa and rena are chisa so like #MORE PAIN FOR BANDIT #i should do naraku no hana to huh #i used to have the lyrics to that memorized it has been SO LONG #the openings for higurashi and higurashi kai were just so good #i liked kai's opening better #but the original op for higurashi was just SO emblematic of what higurashi WAS #just the SONG is creepy and it's GREAT for higurashi #-shudders- #ANYWAY PAIN TRAIN KEEPS A GOING

someone please dissect wet leg with me because their phenomenon is starting to haunt my mind.

I don't give a damn about the awards really

I just need to know what's going on

Why them. Why this???

Is it the TikTok-ability of their music? Is it the Harry Styles' support? Is it because they're pretty people with some retro vibes?

I wish to get to the bottom of this

#the wet leg mystery #one thing these type of situations help with though is my little songwriting dreams #you listen to one too many Alex Turner songs & songwriting becomes an unreachable inaccessible art there's no use in trying even as a hobby #but then you get success stories like this #and lyric-writing seems doable again #you know what I mean?

[morbiezhellyeah]

You take over my thoughts,

I can't focus.

I want to forget what's been, but I just want more.

I'm trying to think straight, but my thoughts, are circling.

My feelings, they will die now,

I'll throw them into the fire, burn them to ashes

So that I can never feel them.

I'm taking my feelings back.

#dinotrux #dinotrux d-stroy #ashdhcg why is translating a song from one language without any proper lyrics SO HARD #hehe more of d-stroyxtyran's theme songs why yes #IF I EVER WRITE YET AN ANGST STORY FOR D-STORY THIS IS THE PIC I WILL USE OMG I AM SO HAPPY WITH IT

[fordarkisthesuede]

Help me think of a fic name for a different fandom! How did you pick your fic name!

I assume it's regarding the Perseverance Project, which title in particular? :o they all came about differently!

The current one (The Whole Nine Yards) is pulled from a line in the game - the scene has not only lived rent-free in my head for like 4 years, but the phrase in the context of the line serves the purpose of the overall fic theme. "John can show you around." "Oh yeah, I'll show him the whole nine yards 👀". It was a come-on, so for story purposes its "we'll do it all in this relationship 😉" in a sexual and romantic sense, as well as personal. Honestly, the scene was inspo for the story, sooo...

As for my oldest (At the Brink of Midnight)...I wanted an "end of the line" feel/a "countdown to doomsday" thing because of the villain's plot being something to effect a great many people. But I like how it ended up working with the Big Final Choice in the story (stopping John from potentially undoing all his growth) too! I played around with some titles and this one hit me like a brick, so I kept it.

Finally, for The Tolls of Justice, that came about from the phrase "do not ask who the bell tolls for; it tolls for thee". It's also a play on words, as "toll" can refer to work/consequences of work (the pursuit of justice, in this case), and the toll of a bell, which fits with the final battle's setting of the church. And the referenced phrase itself works incredibly well for the story! The origin phrase honestly just popped into my head one day...and I went "oh, can I work that into a title?!" lol

TLDR; titles are hard af and come FROM the weirdest places! My advice is to try and find a phrase that works with your story theme/setting and twist the words until they fit. I've tried to write all my contenders down now so I can at least get a vibe going - it's worked pretty well for my twny chapters so far ☺️

I'm flattered you came to me, I hope I helped!!! ❤️

#Honestly if you have a song that fits your story vibe choose the lyrics that stand out most to you and work em over #That works in a pinch but also gives you a springboard! #writing #writing is hard #I used to hate making titles #But it's basically a word game to me now so I like it :) #ask #anonymous #anon ask

I WNA WRITE AAAAA

#🌙.rambles #cheesy romantic stories !!!!!! #BUT THE THING IS #i constantly deny n hide that kinda stuff #it's too embarrassing T_T but maybe i'm a bit of a tsun abt it #normally i'd just be shameless as i've always been ( esp as a kid ) #BUT. I DON'T WANT ANY OF IRLS TO SEE #i use this @ on a lot of places n several irls do know my tumblr user 😭😭 #i will never ever want this to be even perceived by reality in any way whatsoever #but i've always just been a dreamer like this TvT #maybe hiding it is what's been tearing me apart. even if i'm cringe then i want to at least be myself and free. #it's just rlly embarrassing. i can't rlly accept n write it properly bcs #the cut between reality/fiction for me is very defined. i'd hate if there'd be an intruder that's mess things up for /me/ #n then for my original stories i have a lot of feelings and thoughts in my head but they're not really coherent n IDK HOW TO WRITE #little scenarios. i can't make sense of specific words but. THE EMOTION IN THEM. I FEEL IT BUT I CAN'T WRITE #it's like smth you think of right when you wake up (before consciousness returns properly) & #right before you sleep and dream of smth. that kind of clouded feel #a song with just melody but it has traces of lyrics you know but can't remember. #a worn out book you've somehow had all your life ( your mind your thoughts ) with the words slowly fading away in time #the stars fading away as night turns into day. but they're still there #i want to be myself i want to love myself properly and accept myself #it hurts when your own thoughts contradict each other and you're not even sure what it means to be yourself #but the answers are all in me. i still believe in myself. i'm proud of what i have achieved. that will never change #alphinaud kin !!! he's my baby boy for a reason #but urgh i rlly just want to do wtvr i want but i'm afraid of how it might affect others. #what if i unintentionally manage to hurt someone or make them anxious? T_T so then i want to hide #it's a cycle bcs i want and can do what's best for myself but anxiety gets in the way. i don't want to be a burden. #n then there's really just a mental block in my head regarding productivity efficiency n my ambitions. n my sleep sches is also fucked up #i don't 'want' others to be involved w stuff abt me. the songs i listen to. the words i write #or perhaps i'm still afraid of the vulnerability that comes with it. that level of honesty and transparency and authenticity is v idealistic

Shakes Chu2 violently. Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

#rat rambles #band posting #also layer but I am going to give chu2 a big hug then punt her into the sun #I find her mommy issues interesting cause of how like similar yet oppisite they are from mine lol #but even still that feeling of recieving unintentionally backhanded praise your whole life hits close to home for me #also I love a lot of layers stuff in this story #like god her openly talking abt how stuck in the past she used to be and how ras helped her finally move forward #fuck man I love them sm also love how theyre such a weird mix of confident and deeply anxious they are #she seems a lot more comfortable being a supporting figure to others than the lead of the show #so when those two overlap you get her taking the charge in writing a song to help chu2 and then being like oh god oh fuck lyrics #she will gladly deliver emotional speeches with confidence but if you so much as imply her lyrics arent good shell cry #also very fond of this translater letting masking swear you go king say fuck #but yeah I will be rotating ras in my mind as I try to fall asleep since its 2 am and I rly shouldnt have decided to read this now gmfkfjfj #and unfortunately I am having layer character analysis thoughts so gn gamers better pray its not still continuing by tomorrow djfkdjv

Someone needs to hold me back or I’ll start writing so many new fanfics that will never see the light of your phone screen

#and most of them are song-based too! which isn’t a bad thing but what the heck! #I’ve got an idea for something using the (translated) lyrics of Aishite Aishite Aishite (the actual lyrics not just some yandere thing) #(though I might do that anyway tbh) #I’ve got an idea for a Friday Night Funkin fanfic that just goes along in story order with some things my brain conjured up #(I’ve got an especially nice image for Week 5 I think. I have so much lore and it’s not even written yet) #AND I’VE ACTUALLY STARTED WRITING THE GENERAL OVERVIEW OF A FANFIC BASED ON Boys Will Be Bugs?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! #if that last one ever sees the light of your phone screen though it will definitely be tagged with some things you would not assume #fanfiction #my fanfiction #fanfic #hold me back #I can’t start another one I’ll lose track of my works #it’ll be so inconvenient

[pangolen]

thereve actually been uhh. a lot of productions of the dn musical. several in japanese & several in korean. wikipedia says there's also a russian & a brazilian version. very exciting

#pangorambles #the problem is of course in getting my grimy little hands on recordings #mainly wanna find japan 2020 (2020????) and s korea 2022 #s korea 2017 would also be nice but i wouldn't be surprised if it was pretty much the same as japan 2017 #so i'm a little more interested in how it did or didn't change after a few years had passed #the russian and brazilian ones would also be cool of course #but im not sure how likely it'd be for either of them to have english subs #like i mean i know the story by now #but im still curious about lyric changes #& then for the uk version i have found clips #so i'm less itchy to find that one #(& also just kinda hoping it'll make its way back to the us) #(and i can maybe watch it in person or something) #(also i was kinda hoping there'd been more lyric revisions in the english version but #i only noticed a couple #iirc in 'kira!' the lines saying light's full name seem to have been changed in favor of the 'some punk kid' type of thing #that they used in the japanese and korean versions #and then in stalemate for whatever reason misa says something about sharing her journal instead of writing a song i think? #which ok i guess #that does make the next part make a little more sense #edit: russian version might actually just be a concert?

[raeofgayshine]

Sometimes I find stuff in my pinned discord messages that make me go absolutely feral because I don’t know if its from somewhere or just a line my brain spontaneously came up with, but I can’t find it anywhere by searching but I could swear it’s a song lyric or something that I read somewhere but I can’t find it!!

The thing I’m over today is “Underneath it all, he’s still searching for the light.” Which I swear to god is a song lyric, I can even hear the tune in my head, but I can’t find it!! Every time I see it I go searching desperately to no avail and it makes me so >:( >:( >:(

There’s also a real possibility I edited the lyrics of a song, because sometimes I do that, I change a word or two to fit an idea I had but I can’t figure out what else it would be.

Maybe it’s just a song my brain made up in a dream and that’s all I remember. That happens sometimes. But I desperately wish it was real because I feel like it’s a really good song and I just want the rest of it

#ravenpuff rambles #ravenpuff writes #see the curse of both having a lot of memory problems and also being a writer #is that I find lines and have no idea if it’s just something shot into my brain from my subconscious #which you know is a thing I wake up a lot remembering nothing but a sentence or two of something that’s just fucking profound or smth #but they could also be quotes or lyrics I’ve clipped from songs or other stories because I really like how the described the thing #and because I used not to have as bad memory problems and it was always just something for me I never wrote down either way #and now I regret the decisions of past me #(at least I’m much better at sourcing now)

The Promise

This concept came to me from the song I’m Trying (Not Friends) by Maisie Peters, specifically these lines:       “And I resent you just a little if I’m honest,       But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise”  The story follows two characters that made a promise to each other, but over time they have made drastically different life choices painting one as “villain” and the other as “hero” but they both desperately try to keep this promise that they made to each other as it is a tenant of their moral belief system.  I think this could be really interesting watching the relationship slowly fall apart around whatever the *promise* is.  This could easily fit anything from high fantasy adventure to modern day romance.
