The Music- The Negaverse

So, I'm taking a small break from Crossfire (and by small I mean like the couple minutes it'll take for me to write this out, lol) Usually, my breaks consist of hanging out on Villain's Scheme...but not really having much fun there since Shelley's comp went out of commission a couple days ago. I mean, I am having fun playing as QD, but I was really getting into the Zombieland thread we started. I think I might pull Wade, Reed and Marty's profiles off... I'm not sure yet. Eh, then again, I'm just feeling a little insecure because of what happened this week at the bakery. The store was broken into twice; both times, the robber didn't find anything, but he caused a lot of damage since the genius decided to break in through the roof. The second time he busted a pipe in the women's restroom and flooded the store. Good on ya, mate.

Anyway, enough of that! I've been gathering up music and this time for The Negaverse. Well, the happy (or unhappy) citizens, anyway.

1. Pray for You- Jaron and The Long Road to Love: Nega-Morgana

Every time I hear this song, I immediately see Nega-Morgana (or at least, my take on her, anyway) sitting in a church and...well, praying for Negaduck. However, don't let the title fool you. The line that sealed the deal for me was "I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I'd like to."

2. Dog Days Are Over- Florence+The Machine: Nega-Gosalyn

I've been listening to this song for a few days now. At first, I was convinced that it was a happy song...but after really listening to the lyrics, it reminds me of the opening scene from Inglorious Bastards where Shoshanna is running from the Nazi soldiers. Well, I know Nega-Gos doesn't have to worry about Nazis (well, maybe. It's the Negaverse, after all) but I think that this song fits her. "She hid behind corners and hid under beds. She killed it with kisses and from it she fled" and "Leave behind all your love and your loving behind. You can't carry it with you if want to survive" are the lines that really struck me as relating to her.

3. Maneater- Nelly Furtado/ Maneater-Hall and Oates :Nega-Marty

Either song really works for her. She's nothing like her Normalverse counterpart: she's just cold, greedy and calculating. She has no problem using anyone so long as she benefits from it.

4. Lay Me Down-Dirty Heads: Nega-Launchpad and Nega-Marty

It's the whole Bonnie and Clyde story in song form.

That's all I have for specific songs. The rest are most of the tracks off the Zombieland soundtrack and a few Evanescence songs (Lies and Away from Me, specifically). I haven't really found any songs that make me think specifically of Negaduck unless he were placed in some situation. In which case, it's really more for mood than an actual theme. Although, when I write for or draw him, I find that metal or Marylin Manson usually helps. 

Dog Days

I'm hooked on Florence + The Machine today, particularly Dog Days Are Over which has officially been added to my Crossfire soundtrack. Also, I'm not in a great mood, but that song just makes me want to dance...or run in a meadow...or just spin around and around and around...

Anyway, my bad mood was brought on by...well, the fact that I did it again. Every time I think I have a chapter just right and get brave enough to put it up, I go back and read it, then realize it sucks. Okay, maybe not that far with the last chapter I did. To tell the truth, I actually think I did alright. It was suppose to be uncomfortable and tense because Marty and LP haven't seen each other in 12 years and they did not part on good terms (I'd explain, but...nah, I'm not gonna spoil it.) So it wasn't that. I think I cut it off at the wrong spot. I really do. But my goal is to fix it tonight and have it back up by tomorrow...or Friday. Hopefully.

It's just funny, I guess, that I have the entire story mapped out and I know exactly what I want to happen and how it'll end...which I'm actually dreading putting up because what few readers I do have probably won't like it XD And it has nothing to do with pairing them and making it believable because I think it is and a few other people agree. It's getting it in type that's difficult! Plus it's the second chapter and I'm in the middle of wrapping up exposition before getting to the big conflict in the story-FOWL. Those chapters I want to write...actually, three has been fun too...then again, the idea of  LP chasing down Marty's car on a little girl's bike is just amusing to me.

Now, I got to get back to writing and drawing and working in general. The RP I'm currently in sort has me creating the McQuack Triplets teen designs to go along with all the Parker and Trixie fluff I've been doodling, lol. No word on the house yet, but I've got my fingers crossed and I'm getting more hours at work which means bigger paycheck!

Huh, y'know, with all that plus the DW annual being out today, I don't even get why I was in a bad mood anymore.

Life is like a hurricane

...here in Duckburg!

Okay, I'll stop. ('sides, you know you already have the song stuck in your head... You're welcome.) In case you can't tell, I'm feeling pretty peppy and hyper today and that's because I am about 98% done with the second Crossfire chapter! And I managed to do that while working on that damn research paper over Designer babies, too... although, all that research started giving me ideas for a totally different fic...plus I need to see Gattaca now...

Ahem, sorry for that stream of consciousness. Anyway, I'm just making little tweaks here and there to the chapter and should have it up by Wednesday. Lol, I got a bit angsty again at the end (I totally hate when that happens) so I got fix that. And then I'll be ready to start chapter 3. So excited since that's when the real action starts up and everyone's favorite FOWL agents show up. Writing dialog for Steelbeak is gonna be a killer though.

In non-fan related stuff, I think our house hunting days are over! We're in the process of putting an offer down on a cute little house in a really quiet neighborhood and hopefully, if all goes well, we'll be moving soon. Bonus, I'll finally have internet at home again!!
