Damn GCD, you slow. We're gonna try somethin' different today, so break out the lubekeyboards.
I've been listening to a certain song on repeat tonight, and it occurred to me that not only did it influence some sketches I was doing at the time, it also seems to fit the exact mood i'm going for with Zaade's outfit. So well that i'd say, at least for now, this could be Zaade's theme song.
So it got me thinking. Does your avatar have a very complimenting song? More than one?
Would you like to join the z-list?
What musical vibe do you mean to express with your avatar? Post it so I can have a listen.
Does my (or anyone else's) musical choice seem fitting? Did you expect that?
Does it change the way you look at the avatar?
Would you like to join the z-list?
I sure hope someone posts something interesting that'll change my take on theirs.
When you see an avatar in the forums, do you ever get reminded of a certain song?
There's one user, who won't be named (we'll refer to them as "Slick" ), that always makes me hear that Arrancar-unleashy music from Bleach with the slow drum.
This totally isn't a ploy to get new music to listen to. Totally. It's absolutely true.
Also would you like to join the z-list?
I'm rather embarrassed about my music tastes, given that it's... all over the place rather, haha... But if I had to pick a theme song for my "main" avi, it'd be this:
I don't have any others, 'cause I guess I never thought about it before! Perhaps I should?
Yours is rather fitting, I always pictured something dark and macabre looking at your avi. (Also, that is a good song +_+ )
biggrinheart I'm totes going to be watching this thread for new music, I'm willing to admit it. emotion_donotwant
>>>: Oh wow I.. No... I change my avatar too often for it
to have its own OST. Same with music, I get new favorites each
month or something, nowai I could stay with just one of something.
However, this song is pretty descriptive of how I feel when I fiddle
with my avatar, I guess you could call Gaia my highlands xP

So light and bouncy! I wouldn't have thought anything like this with your main outfit. Definitely more fitting for your current look, though.
Then again maybe i'm thinking of the wrong outfit...
Ahh, my ears are practically tingling, KoB. You're on my practice-drawing list already, but i'm definitely gonna cycle this song when I get to you now. Should be helpful. - - -

Hmm, do you think a new favorite song has ever influenced how you change your avatar?
I'm also interested to know if anyone does any other features on gaia while listening to any specific music. For instance, when I do alchemy I absolutely have to keep this on repeat -
As for your song, Ooo, that's a match for sure. I can see that with your avatar.
This is fun, I can practically vision your avatar dancing to it. surprised - - -
My current avatar's theme song is "Interview at the Ruins" by Circle Takes the Square. Appropriately dark, moody and covered in dirt with a faint smell of death lingering in the air.
A burst of aggression suddenly dissipates into an eerie night, eventually carried into daybreak by rolling thunder and droning chants slowly dragging your remains into the depths of hell.
...but here are the lyrics, because they're fantastic and much more poetic than my sleep deprived attempt at provoking vivid mental imagery.
Hide the petals underneath that bedroom floorboard,
and they will wither without fail or success.
Put the people in the hollow box they crafted,
bolt the doors and watch them perish.
It's a cautious descent, so polite and pensive at first.
But the only truth is change, have patience
(every hundredth year, a single breath and then it's over...)
Even if only for a minute; for a minute it's over.
Even if only for a minute.
So brave in the face of all those roots that ruin,
to stand so tall when in fact in ruins.
To face that corner of the box and dive in,
just the sound alone of its humble breath.
A murmur from the ruins echoes softly as the roots undo, and the branch becomes...

Oh man, for some reason I now think your avatar takes place in the late 90s.
It's a good thing.
You get bonus points for having a specific time period, now. Congratulations. - - -

Goodie, goodie!
I was waiting for someone to be specific on lyrics being particularly descriptive.
Now that's not what I would have thought upon first look at your avatar, but it is pretty perfect.
I can dig it. - - -
My avis are always pretty mellow and have a minimalist look (although I play to all hell with layers)
aka all my avis have that cute urban boy w/ a lackluster personality look emotion_dealwithit
(Even if you're not an Arcade Fire fan, you should check out the video. It's really beautiful and tragic.)
Thanks for the thread, it's pretty fun seeing everyone be cute and corny trying to tie their favorite songs into their avis heart
So it got me thinking. Does your avatar have a very complimenting song? More than one?
I was thinking on the lines of the 1st ending of Goodbye, Mr. Despair (Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei) called Zessei Bijin (Absolute Beauty)
What musical vibe do you mean to express with your avatar? Post it so I can have a listen.
Kinda romantic yet a bit dark despite my avi being very light.
English from anime lyrics if you want them
I can hear their delightful screams again today...
If I'm with you, I can go to the end of this world
And journey through the sea of delusions
I'm fated to love even if I'm reborn
So even legends can make up romance
If you look behind you, it's a peerless beauty
Unfortunate beauties, queens of the night
Shadows make women more beautiful
Silently accept the rope
Death creeps nearer from the darkness at your back
The sinners who are drowning in too much love --
I can hear their delightful screams again today
On the night of the crescent moon
Looking back is a wonderful thing
Even the money people have lost is falling
If you throw away God, you can gather up paper
That's the ultimate circulation society
Where do they pass on to, the peerless beauties?
Unfortunate beauties, three-day beauties
Mirror, mirror on the wall, I want to be the fairest of all
What would happen if I died? ... Let's put on rouge
If you fall in love, there are two pitfalls
If you're going to eat poison, you might as well clean the plate
The painful anticipation bewilders my heart
On the night of the full moon
Your language tastes of despair
My lips say "no", but my heart says "yes"
I'm loved too much, I feel like my breath's going to stop
I can hear their delightful screams again today
On the night of the crescent moon
Does my (or anyone else's if they post any) musical choice seem fitting?
Vivi's since she likes the song and it fits her succubus avi well. and Jak's because fish.
Did you expect that? On Jak's part, yes. Kinda on Vivi's
Does it change the way you look at the avatar? I sure hope someone posts something interesting that'll change my take on theirs.Not really.
When you see an avatar in the forums, do you ever get reminded of a certain song?
No, not really. Music never gets to my mind when I see an avi to be brutally honest. emotion_sweatdrop

Yeah, I changed so as to specify what my actual "main" is. sweatdrop I was "attempting" to cosplay before. rofl I usually try and stay as my usual flying mint bunny self, but sometimes I get restless!
