141: character-centric fanmixes
one of my favorite parts of fandom is how you have the opportunity to further explore characters on the show, not only through writing, but through music and art, too. here are ten of my favorite character-centric fanmixes that show you, through song, a character's weaknesses, motivations, and heart. don't forget to leave some love for the creators of these amazing compilations!
title. it's not easy (to be me)
artist. darknumb
characters. dean winchester
length. 48.50 minutes
summary. a fanmix for dean ; includes songs by the foo fighters, bruce springsteen, and avenged sevenfold
listen to this. a fitting rock-centric mix with nice cover-art (i especially love the addition of the impala)
title. rubicon
artist. wiltingflower
characters. ruby
length. 55.9 minutes
summary. a fanmix for ruby ; includes songs by santogold, tori amos, and bjork
listen to this. a mix that manages to capture ruby's agenda, attitude, and vulnerability all at once - something the show could never do quite right - with both fast, upbeat tracks and slow, somber ones. plus, the cover art is pretty pretty pretty
title. shipwrecked
artist. zed_pm
characters. sam winchester
length. 54.48 minutes
summary. a fanmix for sam ; includes songs by vast, shiny toy guns, and the cinematics
