MOVIE SOUNDTRACK MEME
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
Opening Credits: "Gerudo Desert" from Twilight Princess. Huh. guess this movie starts out in a desert.
Waking Up: "Traverse Town" from Kingdom Hearts. Not a terrible choice, I suppose. Way different from the first song.
First Day at School: "EGGMANLAND (DAY)" from Sonic Unleashed. Most epic school ever ever ever.
Falling in Love: "You Call this a Utopia!?" from Mother 3i. Ironic title brings meaning to this film.
Fight Song: "Me and my Shadow" Duet by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. Two guys fighting an entire army together, because they're best friends. Perfect.
Breaking Up: "Credits Part II" from Twilight Princess again. Well...Something certainly breaks in that sound bit at the beginning, so it counts. Also the most emotional part of that game for me.
Prom: "A Moment of Silence" by Streetlight Manifesto. "They show up to the party but are never asked to dance", huh?
Life is Good: "You Make me Feel so Young" by Frank Sinatra. Okay, that works.
Mental Breakdown: "Point/Counterpoint" by Streetlight Manifesto again. Not about a mental breakdown so much as dying, but w/e. Pretty good song, though.
Driving: "Maritime Battle" from Windwaker. MY CAR IS A BOAT. AND HAS A CANNON.
Flashback: "In the Shadows of the Government" from Phoenix Wright 3. I feel like this song was used in flashbacks before. That series loves its flashbacks.
Getting Back Together: "Hide Away Folk Family" by They Might Be Giants. TMBG probably would have worked better for the mental breakdown. Though they are awesome.
Wedding: "I Don't Want to Forget" from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Friggin' sad and creepy wedding.
Paying the Dues: "Shadow's Infiltration" from Sonic '06. OH SNAP BADASSERY.
Night Before War: "Gymnopedia First Act" from Princess Tutu. Originally by French Composer Erik Satie. It's really pretty, too.
Final Battle: "Blitz Off" from Final Fantasy X. And the final battle is apparently a blitzball tournament. Goddammit.
Moment of Triumph: "Have a Banana" Random Sound clip of the Beatles talking. Ends with "Ringo, have a Banana." Wut.
Death Scene: "Wave" by Frank Sinatra. "The fundamental loneliness goes when two can dream a dream together" BUT I AM SO LONELY BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE DEAD BECAUSE THE VICTORY BANANA WE WON FROM THE BLITZBALL TOURNAMENT WAS POISON.
Funeral Song: "OBJECTION" soundclip from Phoenix Wright. Apparently they skipped the funeral and went straight to trying the guy who poisoned the banana for murder. Phoenix Wright is on the case.
End Credits: "Hope that I get Old Before I Die" by They Might Be Giants.
"It's a long long rope they use to hang you soon I hope and I wonder why this hasn't happened, why, why why? And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt and I hope that I get old before I die."

~ Rules:
~ If you don’t have at least 8 OCs I wouldn’t recommend this meme
Heh. Right.
~ Add on questions to this meme! It will make it bigger! (bold your questions too)
Probably won't add ones.
~ TAG PPL PLZ
STOP SAYING PPL AND PLZ, PLEASE
~ Enjoyyyyyyyy!
1) First list all your OC’s by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OC’s:
Nonameverse:
Bill, Noname, Amirah, Honorable Thief, Gomel, Charles, Spike, Herb, Mamthew Chief, Eduardo, Sweltonus, Mifuego, Alima, Aluria, Frigos, Vultaps, King of Gods, Queen of Gods, Vyvintag, Lucifer, Eframia, Evant, as-yet-unnamed mamthew. Bah, there are probably more that I've forgotten
Haunted House/DCtMverse:
Keve, Cinch, Graye, Rafonne, Grene, Fayrasta, Sember, Cinch's mom, Podreg, Trayhe, Twadhe, Kurt, Mongule, Alfred, Prudence, Dr. Silverlake. Again, there are probably others.
Red-Eyed-Knightverse:
Mordax, Christopher, Weasel, Springer, Claire.
Fan characters:
I'd count the KCCh characters, but they're not exactly mine. So none.
2) Who is your favorite OC?
Uh...Graye and Rafonne are the two most fun to write. Oh, and Gomel.
3) Who is your least favorite?
Currently Kurt. He didn't turn out the way I'd wanted him to.
4) Who is your most developed?
Uh...Graye or Cinch, probably. Though Bill's pretty high up there, of course.
5) Which OC would you want to date if they magically came to life?
Probably none of them - it'd be too weird. I mean, it's like you're dating your kid or something...If I had to choose, though, I'd have to go with a slightly older Cinch.
6) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?
Girls: 12
Boys: 32
Its: none
7) If you were stuck in a burning building what do you think the third OC on your list would do?
Amirah would be too busy being stuck in another universe. Eh, she'd probably help someone who was stuck. She's the best equipped to do so. Graye...if she had a body then she still wouldn't. Weasel would try to help. Whether or not he'd succeed is a different matter.
8) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.
I regret that Bill's book kinda sucks.
9) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of all?
Probably Cinch's mom, because she's an actual mother. Besides that, honestly probably the Thief. He tries to be a good parent, at least.
10) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?
Claire's been put in jail before. Springer probably should be put in there. Keeping him in there's another matter entirely, though. Ah, and Herb's sorta been in jail, too. Or at least the cosmic equivalent.
11) The eighth of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!?
Herb? He'd be imprisoned still. If he somehow got freed he'd probably rampage and destroy a bunch of futuristic cities. Cinch's mom would probably still be a mom. She's pretty good at that.
12) Name the first OCs catch phrase! (if they don’t have one just make one up)
I don't do catchphrases. (no that's not his catchphrase)
13) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?
Uh...well...very very technically they all exist in the same universe but different worlds. Eh, the way they're broken up is what worlds they exist in, so...
14) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list? (they can’t be with someone else's)
Noname and Amirah. Eframia and Lucifer would probably work out (that's right, a snake girl and an unemployed death god).
15) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?
Spike would be disoriented. Well...all of them would, but Spike especially, since he's normally a giant secretary bird. Sember...would probably make me more friends than I have now. And would decide to devote the next month to proving out of body experiences.
16) Your last OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?
The mamthew would be annoyed and have to find a new life's work. Dr. Silverlake would consider it a hardcore setback as well. Or would be happy that he's no longer a vampire. Depends. For Claire, that wouldn't be too huge a change.
17) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?
Rafonne. I love Rafonne.
18) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.
He doesn't think he's superman. He has jumped off of skyscrapers before, though.
19) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?
Sense? They aren't overly affected by said meme as they are off doing their own things right now. So no.
20) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?
Noname would probably like the beach. I don't think there's a beach in his world - or at least he hasn't been to it. Cinch lives in the mountains and loves them. She enjoys visiting the beach, though. Christopher's a bit preoccupied to care about such nonsense.
21) Would your tenth OC battle a shark?
Eduardo would...probably. He'd win, too, as long as he had his dagger. Otherwise he'd be screwed. Trayhe probably wouldn't. He wouldn't need to and if he ever did come face-to-face with one he could just travel to another world to escape it.
22) Which OCs hate each other?
Hate's a bit of a strong word, but Bill and Noname get annoyed with each other pretty easily. Podreg hates Twadhe, and most people in the DCtMverse hate Mongule. Especially Rafonne and Grene. Springer's not Claire's biggest fan, either. Herb hates Spike, too, and Eduardo hates Charles.
23) Which OC did you create first? And last?
First one was Bill...he first showed up on the scene a good eight years ago. Maybe longer. Latest one was Weasel. I like Weasel.
25) And if those two were fighting, who would win?
Uh...probably Bill. Weasel can fight okay, but he needs some training and self esteem. And Bill has a sword. And a magic staff. And he can have super speed if he needs it.
26) Are your OCs fat or skinny?
I don't think I have any fat OCs.
27) What are your first 2 OC's favorite foods?
Bill is partial to pie. Especially apple pie. Noname likes red meat. I don't think I've ever written about Keve eating anything. Cinch probably likes chocolate. Mordax enjoys a well-cooked steak with some red wine. Christopher will eat whatever he can get at. He's a bit busy.
28) If your listed OCs were in a fight to the death, who would emerge victorious?
If Graye had her body back, then she would. Since Keve is Death, he probably would otherwise, though it'd be a hard fight between him and Mongule. If Rafonne was angry, though, he'd kick everyone's asses without any problem. Out of the other characters, probably Christopher, since he's pretty much the greatest fighter ever. Though Dr. Silverlake's a vampire. And both of the mamthew on the list are capable of regenerating and can only die from bullets to both heads. So I'm not sure. It would be an interesting fight, though.
29) There's a zombie attack and your OCs are stranded. Who do they elect to be their leader?
If Graye had her body back, they'd elect her. But she'd laugh and leave because she doesn't actually care if they survive or not (she'd take Cinch with her, though). The Thief is probably the next best choice. Or Christopher.
30) During said zombie attack, who's the first to die?
Cinch's mom. Graye doesn't care about her.
Gomel, Spike, both mamthew, all Reapers and Storks, Prudence, Dr. Silverlake, Cinch and Claire would survive the entire ordeal, however. Only two of those aren't immortal.
31) Which one of these OCs do you think would have the most fangirls/boys?
Uh...Rafonne. Because he is adorable.
32) What would happen if your OCs suddenly appeared in the real world?
Everyone from the DCtMverse wouldn't really be too big a deal, except for Mongule and Dr. Silverlake, since they'd cause widespread panic. Actually, a lot of my characters would cause widespread panic...
33) Who's in the middle of your list? What is their opinion on world domination?
Mifuego would not be averse to the idea. But in the end he'd decide against it - he remembers the last few people who tried that. Podreg would love to control the world, but only because then he could give said control to Grene. Weasel would fight against world domination. Or get Christopher to do it for him.
34) Your fifth OC and your last OC have to share a living space. How well do they get along?
Gomel and the mamthew would not get along. Gomel is very loud and adorable and the mamthew would quickly get a headache and throw him off of a cliff. Grene would be able to see Dr. Silverlake, but Dr. Silverlake would not be able to see him. Unless his death made him able to see Reapers, in which case they'd mostly be at odds with each other. Grene tries really hard to be honorable and just, though he kinda fails at it, and Silverlake's a pretty awful person who Grene can't do anything about. That doesn't happen too often.
35) What does your twelfth OC's worry about?
Mifuego worries about the time he's wasted as a statue. And whether he's going to get to see the world. And whether the next hero's name won't be stupid. Kurt worries about...pretty much everything concerning the way his life is going lately.
36) Tag three or more people!
Nope.
Bemused
Euphoric
Pride
