Hey flist! / dcircle! There is nothing I love half as much as a writing meme - so I have stolen this one from
moetushie ! I've randomised 10 songs and chose lyrics from each - your job is to pick a number and a character (or ship) (or friendship) (or assortment of characters) and receive a drabble! Some of my fandoms are listed
here and any character or ship from them is welcome.
1. You can tear her temple down / But she'll be back and rule again (Tito and Tarantula: After Dark)
2. Excuse me sir, am I your daughter? (Pretty Reckless: Under the Water)
3. Come unstrap your broken wings / And tell me of your favourite things (Noe Venable: Alcina's Things)
4. And I can be cool, soft as the breeze, / I'll be a hurricane, ripping up trees! (Grace Jones: Hurricane / Cradle To The Grave)
5. To be victorious / You must find glory in the little things (Janelle Monáe: Victory)
6. I'm not the man I used to be / And what you see is not what it seems (The Stranglers: See Me Coming)
[Note: I've heard it lots of times but I literally just realised this is a song about the Count of Monte Cristo???? Goddammit Stranglers.]
7. All my friends are fuck-ups but they're fun to have around (Whitlams: You Sound Like Louis Burdett)
Fill: Lord of the Rings; Merry & Pippin 8. A heart of stone, a smoking gun / I can give you life, I can take it away (Bloc Party: Banquet)
9. In your hair there is a symphony / Your lips, a string quartet (Janelle Monáe: BaBopByeYa)
10. The drawing in my binder every picture I put a halo on your head (Frank Ocean: Standing Still)
