So, I just saw the TWEWY AMV over at the comm, and I'm wondering... SINCE WHEN DOES THIS FANDOM HAVE AMVs? Why wasn't I told about this? (Okay, confession time: I suck at finding AMVs. I really do. Like, I can spend ALL DAY at amv.org and find little to nothing that interests me.) So, presumably people who aren't me know all about this, am I right? So, without further ado, you guys should totally start rec'ing me some TWEWY AMVs. I'll also accept Naruto ones, since that's totally my fandom of the week. I like Beat/Rhyme, Anyone/Neku, Shiki/Eri, Anyone/Naruto, and um... Actually, I'll take some more, but Anyone/Naruto is pretty much my fandom taste. (I really like Naruto/Sakura and SasuNaru, and Team7 as an OT3+.)
But, the real reason I'm here is because I'm kind of feeling down about my NaNo novel. It's not that I don't still love it, and my characters, too, but I'm at 24.7k/28.3k, and I'm feeling like writing a little something else. So, I'm inflicting a bout of unedited TWEWY insta-prompts on my adoring public. Three quick song drabbles (It's quickly becoming rather obvious that this is my fall-back method for when I just feel down about my writing, isn't it?)
Ready, steady, go!
Warnings: Unedited.
Pairings: Pretty much gen.
Rating: G.
Notes: For my little sister, who has terrible taste in music and no internet access. (That means I get to look up every song she wants. Ugh. Seishun Kyousoukyoku is not actually one of her songs, but there's only so much I can do with a song that isn't in my language, y'know?) Also, I added the songs for download, because I totally hate it when an author mentions a song and does not provide a sample. D:
Cage the Elephant - No Rest for the Wicked MP3.
Neku sat up in bed, looking around his room for whatever had woken him up. He almost had a heart attack when he saw someone sitting on his windowsill.
"Joshua?" he hissed.
The figure on the windowsill turned his head. Of course it was Joshua. No one else had that kind of ridiculous hair.
"What are you doing up at this hour?" Neku demanded.
Joshua smirked. Neku could only see the outline of his face, but he knew that the change was a smirk. "Silly Neku, there's no rest for the wicked."
Neku sighed. "I'm sure." Neku moved to his window to sit by Joshua. "You know," he said. "The city sounds beautiful like this, but it's better when it's not breaking into my house."
Cake - Let Me Go MP3.
Shiki stopped in front of a store in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't a nice shopping district, no, it was the food district. Eri raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment. She may have been the fashion expert, but Shiki wasn't a bad sidekick.
She followed Shiki into the store, ignoring the glares the shopkeeper sent their way.
Shiki didn't move gracefully, but she moved with purpose, and Eri figured that was at least as good. She grabbed a skirt that might have been a lot prettier if it didn't clash with itself, and could have used with a better cut, and the stitches! She haggled a price with the shopkeeper, then turned to Eri once they were outside and grinned. "There are at least three layers of fabric here, and if I can just take out some of this seam, it should work for that new miniskirt you drew."
Eri marveled at her sense of fashion. Clearly Eri was not the fashion expert here. She was the sidekick.
Sambomaster - Seishun Kyousoukyoku MP3.
Rhyme swore that Def Märch had deep and meaningful lyrics. She told Beat that they had some of the deepest stuff she had ever heard, and that it was beautiful, if he would just pay attention long enough to hear the line about the way noise had drowned out 777's soul, come on, please?
So Beat listened every time she asked. It might as well have been Greek for all he could make out.
Beat still hated Def Märch's music, and still felt odd every time he saw 777 (he was glad the guy wasn't Erased anymore, but how weird was it that he even had to worry about that?), but he loved Rhyme, so he suffered screaming guitar solos and terrible unintelligible yells that were supposed to be lyrics.
He was more unnerved by the way one of them ended on the word "Baby" like it was an endearment more than anything. Beat could have sworn he heard a line earlier in the song about eating kittens.
