jukebox_fest since 2015, so this is pretty exciting.
Rambling thoughts below the cut.
I got a bunch of old exchange letters under this tag. The general stuff from 2018 mostly still applies. I love sci-fi and fantasy the most, I love rich and character-driven pieces. I love stories that center women, I love nonbinary and bisexual characters, I adore fantasy and science fiction. Worldbuilding makes me happy. Friendships, mentorships and rivalries can be just as powerful for a relationship-driven story as romance, sometimes more so.
DNWs are explicit sexual violence, gore, or glorifying toxic relationships. Let bad people be bad.
For art, I love stylized or allegorical art just as much as literal or realistic scenes.
Specific requests:
The World Is Not Enough - I love both the song and the video. I would be thrilled with the further adventures of Shirley Manson robot as she takes over and/or destroys the world.
Where The Wild Roses Grow - would love a direct interpretation, a reversal, shift in genders, transplanted to another setting, transposed onto a non-romantic relationship... Go wild.
Some Nights - would love a less direct interpretation of this, to me it's a song about a crisis of faith or loyalty and I can think of a million ways to interpret it, I would hate to narrow your steps.
Yellow Flicker Beat - this is the perfect anti-heroine song. You're not obligated to make the POV character female but I think it's a powerful perspective.
Meet Me Halfway - this is a wonderful science fictional romance that works as both literal and allegorical. For some reason I associate it strongly with a planet that's half in constant sunlight and half in constant dark (there's a technical term for this that I can't recall at the moment). You're not beholden to this mental image, but if it inspires you that's great.
I Feel the Earth Move - this song is prey to my weird love for taking metaphors and interpreting them in a frighteningly realistic way. Mutant romance? Or just a run of the mill human romance.
Thanks for reading!
