I love treats!
Prefer het couples in general.
So this is from the delightfully cracky Descendants movie, and if you want to play with that I am in - but really what I'm looking for is the vibe between the more serious half and the over-the-top half, where he is trying to impress her and she is all "why is this idiot so in love with ME?" (I also like Haruhi/Tamaki (and Kyouya) from Ouran for thsi vibe if you need another inspiration.). Prefer a modern setting.

Young queens unite! I'd love some sort of case where they're brought together, not damsels in distress!
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me
Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

I love vanishing hitchhikers and this is a reverse. Please make main character (passenger) female. Pretty much what it says. I’m cool with the driver being Hank Williams, but love the idea of the passenger being a female country singer.

So I love how this takes a very modern event that many of us have lived through, and gives it a very fairy tale feeling. Prefer focus on the female narrator.
Let me set the scene
Two lovers ripped right at the seams
They woke up from the perfect dream
And then the darkness came

If you want to draw on the movie Drive Me Crazy (it's on the soundtrack), feel free! But the vibe I want is a couple who's stuck in their situation, who knows it, but can't move on from each other. Help them be happy.

Some more from the kid's POV would be wonderful! Pre-canon, post-canon, or dealing with the trauma much later and maybe healing from from it bit by bit. Or all of the above. I strongly prefer the kid to be a girl.
Other than that I don't have anything more specific in mind, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡
Common squicks I'm okay with:
✓ gore and graphic depictions of violence
✓ body horror and any horror in general
✓ any type and severity of abuse, as long as it's portrayed as abuse and not excused by the narrative (excused by the abuser is okay, the victim being confused and/or blaming themselves is okay)
✓ self-harm
✓ major character death
✓ harm to children
✓ humiliation, "cringe"
✓ spiders, insects, any creepy animals/creatures/monsters
✓ pretty much everything that is not a DNW or edging close to a DNW
General dislikes (DNW):
Ø any romance
Ø any smut/shipping-adjacent sexual content regardless of consent level or rating (sex jokes and conversations, as well as mentions or focus on canon sexual trauma or abuse, are all okay and welcome)
Ø any mentions of bdsm and other power-dynamics-related kinks (even jokes)
Ø caretaking/caregiving (grooming, feeding, dressing etc. another person)
Ø physical illness/sickness, ranging from common cold to cancer, including fictional ones (physical infections that only cause mental or behavioral symptoms are okay; vomiting for other reasons is okay; injuries and non-illness types of disabilities are okay, but still please no caretaking)
Ø unresolved mind control or possession (resolved by the end of the story is okay; aftermath is okay and something I'm very interested in)
Ø soulmates, soulmarks, soulbonds (even platonic)
Ø possessiveness portrayed as positive
Ø violating consent and freedom portrayed as positive when it's "not a big deal" or "for someone's own good", also in a non-sexual context, also when it applies to children (convincing someone to do things they don't like, "playfully" tickling when someone says no, intentionally limiting someone's choices, "grounding", etc.)
Ø self-sacrifice and self-denial portrayed as positive
Ø parents' POV on a parent-child relationship
Ø non-canon pregnancy and childbirth (canon is okay)
Ø any AU that completely changes characters' backstories
Ø violent or otherwise graphic death of pets, especially cats (death of old age is okay; violent or graphic death of other animals is okay, especially ones that are hunted for food)

Content note: This video includes very graphic self-harm in multiple forms.
I would just love anything about these people, especially the teenage girl and/or the young boys. The lyrics link comes with a translation, but the story doesn't need to have anything to do with the lyrics or the song at all. Focusing only on the music video would be perfect.

The entire inner child thing in this video is just flawless. Maybe something from the inner child's POV? The song is obviously pretty close to the music video and I do love the song in its own right, but I'd prefer no intentional big references to the lyrics or direct quotes (unless it's the parts that are "said out loud" by the characters). Focusing only on the music video would be perfect.
I'd also strongly prefer the characters to be fictional and have nothing to do with P!nk's life as a real person.

What I would absolutely love here is your interpretation, in your own style, of the tiny "heartbeat heartbeat" scene at 1:24. This should link to it directly: https://youtu.be/MVjQIQGqNFM?si=zzOlHk_j4OTs7Iyt&t=81 I just find it super adorable and can't get enough of it, so. :D (If this is not what you want to do and we matched on this request, you can obviously draw/paint anything else from this video and I'm going to love it too! ♡)

Go wherever the gorgeous, unsettling vibes of this video lead you. The official description on youtube gives more context. "The background seeming like it doesn't really match is supposed to represent feeling disconnected from your surroundings" is my favorite part of the explanation. You can incorporate the song or just focus on the music video, but please keep the character fictional and don't write about Bambi Baker's life as a real person.
I'd also prefer if the character is not an angel in any kind of religious sense.
Other than that I don't have anything more specific in mind, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡

Something about the main character and the little girl would be fantastic! Maybe them doing some (G-rated) mischief together. But also! The girl is played by Kelsey Lewis, who also played P!nk's inner child in Family Portrait, so I would especially love some timey-wimey stuff where the girl is the main character's past self.

Abandoned Town - The Smooth Maria (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
This is a powerful and versatile song. The setting could be just about anything: Present-day, four years ago, anytime up to a hundred years ago, sci-fi, sci-fantasy, cyberpunk, steampunk, etc;
What is literal, what is metaphor? What manners of catastrophe would put seagulls in a desert, the oceans would have to boil or shift! The oceans could be painted black by something as harmless as nightfall or something as gruesome as oil spill! Do the woman and child really dance around a fire for the first time, or did they attain freedom amidst destruction? Did the narrator stay behind as the others left?
There is so much you could write here, far more than a thousand words. I can understand if you need to brush some details aside for time reasons. But at the core remains the question of why the people abandoned this town. Hopes, fears, threats, or all of that and something entirely else?
DNW:
• Graphic Intercourse – You can include some if it serves the story, but please don't make it the sole focus of the fic.
• Graphic Torture – I am squeamish specifically when pain is inflicted deliberately against helpless victims, especially if it is for its own sake. Accidental injuries, verbal violence, combat, etc are OK to describe in detail.

The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine - Spoon (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
The lyrics may be sung by an unreliable narrator. Why does he want to play Eddie so much? What two sides does he see? How do they compare to his own life?
This has the potential for two parallel stories. However, I understand that writing a whole stageplay in itself is beyond the scope of this exchange, let alone with a meta-narrative, so feel free to leave it at excerpts or key scenes or whatever you see fit.
I don't think it is in any way asserted that Eddie and Monsieur Valentine be the same person, but it is probably easier to write under this assumption.
A core topic of the play seems to be the defiance of societal norms such as rank, monogamy, and heterosexuality. Feel free to lean into that, or disagree and ignore it.

Trojan Horse - Luv' (Song)

I nominated this song for being silly. Likening a proposal to military deception is hilarious. And instead of telling them off for this faux pas, the narrator is teasing and playing with them.

Change My Ways - Burn the Ballroom (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
This song reminds me of red flags in abusive relationships, in particular how the abuser will attempt to save face by feinting repentance, only to take the next opportunity for abusive behaviour worse than before. This is backed by how they then demand "songs of praise" for something they have not done yet. And "this one's the last" implies that it's not the first fall and/or death. Are they really going to change their ways this time?
Besides, the lyrics may be sung by an unreliable narrator. "Cold and holy work" is a bizarre choice of words. The river motive especially confuses me. "She" fell, but then the narrator "crawl to the banks"? And her "rising river" runs down by her grave? It may be a metaphor I'm too dull for. If you feel the same way, you can just skip it. If you see something in it, I'm excited to hear it!

Start to Fall - Get Scared (Song)

This song seems to be about someone pushed to the brink. They literally admit that they can't take it, asking how they "can take everything inside". They're haunted at night and feel inferior.
It would be straight-forward, except the lyrics seem to address another character who is the one falling and being comfortable at it. A relationship, be it intimate, professional, or something else, must be tough under such circumstances.

So this is from the delightfully cracky Descendants movie, and if you want to play with that I am in - but really what I'm looking for is the vibe between the more serious half and the over-the-top half, where he is trying to impress her and she is all "why is this idiot so in love with ME?" (I also like Haruhi/Tamaki (and Kyouya) from Ouran for thsi vibe if you need another inspiration.). Prefer a modern setting.

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

Content note: This video includes very graphic self-harm in multiple forms.
I would just love anything about these people, especially the teenage girl and/or the young boys. The lyrics link comes with a translation, but the story doesn't need to have anything to do with the lyrics or the song at all. Focusing only on the music video would be perfect.
Other than that I don't have anything more specific in mind, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡

✓ self-harm
✓ major character death
✓ harm to children
✓ humiliation, "cringe"
✓ spiders, insects, any creepy animals/creatures/monsters
✓ pretty much everything that is not a DNW or edging close to a DNW

The entire inner child thing in this video is just flawless. Maybe something from the inner child's POV? The song is obviously pretty close to the music video and I do love the song in its own right, but I'd prefer no intentional big references to the lyrics or direct quotes (unless it's the parts that are "said out loud" by the characters). Focusing only on the music video would be perfect.
I'd also strongly prefer the characters to be fictional and have nothing to do with P!nk's life as a real person.

Go wherever the gorgeous, unsettling vibes of this video lead you. The official description on youtube gives more context. "The background seeming like it doesn't really match is supposed to represent feeling disconnected from your surroundings" is my favorite part of the explanation.

Additional fandom-specific likes:
Something about the main character and the little girl would be fantastic! Maybe them doing some (G-rated) mischief together. But also! The girl is played by Kelsey Lewis, who also played P!nk's inner child in Family Portrait, so I would especially love some timey-wimey stuff where the girl is the main character's past self.
Other than that I don't have anything more specific in mind, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡
Common squicks I'm okay with:
✓ gore and graphic depictions of violence
✓ body horror and any horror in general
✓ any type and severity of abuse, as long as it's portrayed as abuse and not excused by the narrative (excused by the abuser is okay, the victim being confused and/or blaming themselves is okay)
✓ self-harm
✓ major character death
✓ harm to children
✓ humiliation, "cringe"
✓ spiders, insects, any creepy animals/creatures/monsters
✓ pretty much everything that is not a DNW or edging close to a DNW
General dislikes (DNW):
Ø any romance

Abandoned Town - The Smooth Maria (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
This is a powerful and versatile song. The setting could be just about anything: Present-day, four years ago, anytime up to a hundred years ago, sci-fi, sci-fantasy, cyberpunk, steampunk, etc;
What is literal, what is metaphor? What manners of catastrophe would put seagulls in a desert, the oceans would have to boil or shift! The oceans could be painted black by something as harmless as nightfall or something as gruesome as oil spill! Do the woman and child really dance around a fire for the first time, or did they attain freedom amidst destruction? Did the narrator stay behind as the others left?
There is so much you could write here, far more than a thousand words. I can understand if you need to brush some details aside for time reasons. But at the core remains the question of why the people abandoned this town. Hopes, fears, threats, or all of that and something entirely else?
DNW:

The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine - Spoon (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
The lyrics may be sung by an unreliable narrator. Why does he want to play Eddie so much? What two sides does he see? How do they compare to his own life?
This has the potential for two parallel stories. However, I understand that writing a whole stageplay in itself is beyond the scope of this exchange, let alone with a meta-narrative, so feel free to leave it at excerpts or key scenes or whatever you see fit.
I don't think it is in any way asserted that Eddie and Monsieur Valentine be the same person, but it is probably easier to write under this assumption.
A core topic of the play seems to be the defiance of societal norms such as rank, monogamy, and heterosexuality. Feel free to lean into that, or disagree and ignore it.

Trojan Horse - Luv' (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
I nominated this song for being silly. Likening a proposal to military deception is hilarious. And instead of telling them off for this faux pas, the narrator is teasing and playing with them.
Consider it a "surprise me" pick. Surprise me!

Change My Ways - Burn the Ballroom (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
This song reminds me of red flags in abusive relationships, in particular how the abuser will attempt to save face by feinting repentance, only to take the next opportunity for abusive behaviour worse than before. This is backed by how they then demand "songs of praise" for something they have not done yet. And "this one's the last" implies that it's not the first fall and/or death. Are they really going to change their ways this time?
Besides, the lyrics may be sung by an unreliable narrator. "Cold and holy work" is a bizarre choice of words. The river motive especially confuses me. "She" fell, but then the narrator "crawl to the banks"? And her "rising river" runs down by her grave? It may be a metaphor I'm too dull for. If you feel the same way, you can just skip it. If you see something in it, I'm excited to hear it!

Start to Fall - Get Scared (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
This song seems to be about someone pushed to the brink. They literally admit that they can't take it, asking how they "can take everything inside". They're haunted at night and feel inferior.
It would be straight-forward, except the lyrics seem to address another character who is the one falling and being comfortable at it. A relationship, be it intimate, professional, or something else, must be tough under such circumstances.

Lichtgestalt - Lacrimosa (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
Is it possession? A daemon? A headmate? A very elaborate sphynx riddle? You tell me!
What situation would ever make a person feel all those things, though?
Honestly, I mostly nominated this song for the painterly descriptions. There is no apparent plot, setting, or characterisation. Go wild!

Achilles Come Down - Gang of Youths (Song)
Art, Fic, Podfic
This is a powerful song about grief and suicidal thoughts.
To the best of my knowledge, this song does not describe a scene from the original story of Achilles, but rather lends motives from him.
As a sidenote: This song has been requested in previous years by InArduisFidelis (several times!), SarunoHadaki, LonelyLord. If you pick this, you might want to notify those people.
DNW:
• Death by suicide – Achilles (or whatever you wish to call the character) may get close to it, prepare for it, possibly even get started on it, but please not see it through.
