Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen (Song)
Fanfiction
This song is about a survivor (at least for now, since he may also be dying) confronting his grief and the tragedy of the AIDS epidemic, but I think it lends itself to fic about pretty much any (post-)apocalyptic scenario you can imagine and the attendant trauma of that. I’m particularly taken with how the lyrics seem to be a gay man addressing a male lover or a one-night stand: “Receive me, brother, with your faithless kiss, or will we leave each other alone like this?” Setting the fic in Philadelphia could be interesting but isn't necessary. So many potential dark corners to explore! (Video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z2DtNW79sQ)

Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through - Meat Loaf (Music Video)
Fanfiction
This music video was directed by Michael Bay, and it has gorgeous carnival-esque and urban fantasy visuals…along with amazing worldbuilding. I love the pointy-eared fortuneteller (Meat Loaf’s character), and how he rides around on his motorbike with the sidecar, moving between dimensions and saving lost souls. What’s his story? Who is he and how did he end up in that role? Who is the goddess/angel character at the end? Did she create the fortuneteller somehow? The video implies that the runaway (Angelina Jolie’s character), or some aspect of her, becomes a second fortuneteller, which raises all sorts of intriguing possibilities about the fortuneteller’s alternate dimension and how it perpetuates itself… (Video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Iay1J87x4)

Bury My Lovely - October Project (Music Video)
Fanfiction
“Bury My Lovely” may be about childhood sexual abuse, so that’s one possible direction but not by any means the only one! It could be about a haunted house or a ghost! Are the child, the young woman, and the old woman all the same person at different times…or different people entirely? How do they relate to each other, and why do they look unhappy? What’s going on in the attic, with the key? What is being buried—a doll, an actual baby, or is this a metaphor for something more sinister? Who are wearing those ghost costumes? The music video seems to be taking place in the autumn, around Halloween. I love the American gothic visuals of the music video, the atmospheric use of light and shadow, the timelessness, the foreboding and the mystery.

As the World Falls Down - David Bowie (Music Video)
Fanfiction, Podfic
I love the juxtaposition of real and fantasy elements in this video. I'm fascinated by the woman receiving faxes -- Is she the girl in the portrait and the ballroom scenes? Is she a reporter, following up on a crazy story? Has she been dreaming about the singer at the nightclub (or has he been dreaming about her?)

Black Swan - 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS (Song)
Fanfiction, Podfic
You're welcome to play this metaphorically -- as an artist's fear of losing their ability to create/perform.
But I'd love to see some of the elements taken literally: time stopping, vibrations no longer resonating, voices made silent, being dragged into the ocean.

Forever Rain - Kim Namjoon | RM (Song)
Fanfiction, Podfic
This song is so moody, and I love the feel of it. I like the idea of rain as a friend that comes knocking on the window. Is there someone else out there, feeling the same way, or is it only an illusion?

The World Is Not Enough - Garbage (Music Video)
Fanart, Fanfiction
In general, I'll be happy with anything inspired by the video (that doesn't hit my DNWs) -- I have no strong preferences as far as things like POV, tense, art format, etc. go, and if you find yourself feeling experimental, I would encourage you to go for it.
Things I like:
Sci-fi/fantasy action/adventure -- characters going about their business in a world filled with things that don't exist in the real world.
Worldbuilding -- could be incorporated into the above, obviously, but to be honest: if some tiny aspect of the video intrigues you? Write me 1000 words/draw me a diagram of in-universe meta about it and I'll be over the moon.
Femslash -- particular dynamics I like: loyalty kink, battle couples, enemies-with-benefits, enemies-to-lovers (via a "reluctant allies" stage?)
DNWs: AUs (except canon-divegent AUs), pregnancy/kidfic, non-canonical major character death, breathplay, watersports, bloodplay, vore, scat, emetophilia, violent non-con, incest, underage
