best meme ever y/y?

Comment with the name of a character, pairing, etc in one of my fandoms. I'll post you an instant mini-fanmix: 3-5 songs that remind me of that character/pairing/show/etc. I'll upload the songs and everything.

I don't think I actually need to list my fandoms, do I? Well, for the sake of a good meme:

Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Criminal Minds, Torchwood, Chuck, SGA, Psych, Dresden Files, Eureka...
I'll attempt just about anything I know, though. :D Movies, books, whatever. Go on, give me something to do when I get home from church.

Ooo. I fail at music, myself, so: Nathan Petrelli.

Frying Man!

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, Nathan. You know, I really used to dislike him before I rewatched the series with my mother? I'm glad I like him now. And just so you know? It would have been SO easy to do entirely "hobobeard!Nathan misses Peter" songs. xD

(Nathan the politician, willing to go along with Linderman's plans)
Stars - He Lied About Death
A devil born in paradise
A liar loves to lie
Keep watching your back
Killers always have killers on their track
Keep watching the sky
'Cause you might get lucky again
...
Mellow suit, mellow smile
Limousines down murder mile



(leading up to the explosion, the uncertainties and regrets and confusion thereof)
Weakerthans - Benediction
Megaphones in helicopters squeal, "Hey, are you okay?" as searchlights circle where we lost our way. All our accidents went purposeful and fell, stripped of providence or any way to tell that our intentions were intangible and sweet. Sick with simple math and shy discoveries, piled up against our impending defeat.


(after Kirby Plaza, and yes I do think I'm funny)
Willie Nelson - Somebody Pick Up My Pieces
Somebody pick up my pieces, I'm scattered everywhere
And put me back together and put me way over there
Take me out of contention, I surrender my crown
So somebody pick up my pieces, it's just me comin' down



(season 2, or "Nathan maybe misses Peter a little too much?")
The Ataris - The Hero Dies In This One
I don't think I ever told you,
but I know you always did your best
in the hard times that only made us stronger
As I sit here all alone,
I wonder how I'm supposed to carry on
when you're gone
I'll never be the same without you,
I love you more than you will ever know



(Jesus!Nathan: the resurrection!)
Pedro the Lion - Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my vision
Oh, Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that Thou are
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence, my light

Eee! :)

Me, I was one of the people who was rolling my eyes going, "Hello? Nathan is a GOOD GUY," way back in early season one. I was only shocked by how the season ended because it was exactly how the Petrellicest fans thought it would end.

<3's my boy.

PS if you want to sort of nudge me in the direction of a couple of your prompts at the new kink meme... I totally owe you one for that Peter ficlet. :) Um, but I'm not so good with Matt/Mohinder, just to warn you.

Haha, yeah, I think the only reason they put in the good-or-bad doubt was so Hiro could call Nathan a "billan!" xD

eeeeeeficlet! I actually only put up two Matt/Mo prompts this time, and I don't know what your stance on het is, so I'll toss out three I'd really like and you can surprise me. ♥!
1, 2, 3

I'm fine with het, slash, anything. Well, I kind of suck at writing femslash, but I did rather like Claire/Elle in the last episode. Too cute. :)

Ooo, I was already considering writing one of those, so... :D

Jack Carter. God I love that man.

someone might shoot the sheriff, but ain't no one gonna fuck with the deputy

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2008-11-09 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, the good sheriff. Who doesn't love him?

Jack (all-around good guy, hero of Eureka!)
Our Lady Peace - Made of Steel
I can be anything that you want me to be
A punching bag, a piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think
I found the note down in your car
And it's not your fault it gets this hard

Hold your head high
Don’t look down
I’m by your side
Won’t back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I’m not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me



Jack and Zoe (love, exasperation and the scary edge of losing his daughter to becoming a woman, as girls will do)
The Mountain Goats - Butter Teeth
we were portuguese warships cresting the waves
cannons raised ready to dock
you were counting down the hours and minutes
i was trying to find a way of stopping the clock

who's here?
just us
nobody else around
stray electrical currents
trying to find the ground



Jack and Allison (fondness, flirtation, the knowledge that he's totally outclassed but loves her anyway)
Ani Difranco - Overlap
I search your profile for a translation
I study the conversation like a map
'cause I know there is strength
in the differences between us
and I know there is comfort
where we overlap

come here
stand in front of the light
stand still
so I can see your silhouette
I hope
you have got all night
'cause I'm not done looking,
no, I'm not done looking yet



Jack and Nathan (antagonism, grudging respect, truckloads of sexual tension)
Jason Mraz - Mr. Curiosity
Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Are you killing me?
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Just as long as you'd call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
See this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem



Jack and Eureka (or, of course there's a form for accidentally being dosed with experimental substances, just wait until I'm done hallucinating and I'll get right on that, Jo)
Gruff Rhys - Candylion
Dreams can come true
Nightmares can also
Opposites push and pull to the fore
Morph into flowers
Or a frozen winter
We're flying in love
Or falling in hate

SYLAR/CLAIRE. HIT ME.

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2008-11-11 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
You know what? I want to see a Sylar/Claire/Elle threesome. Has anyone done that yet? Someone should really do that.

Okay! On task.

Sylar the boogeyman, Claire the innocent cheerleader:
New End Original - Hostage
Falling up a flight of stairs.
What went wrong where?
There's a room around a man
His eyes are gleaming, his arms around me.
One hand in my hair, the other on a gun, and you look scared.
"Back off or someone'll die, Back off or someone'll die"
"Back off or someone'll die, Back off or someone'll die"
He has me by the hair
He drags me down the hall
I'm falling up a flight of stairs
You never run away
Oh to be you


Sylar the hunter, Claire the prey that's been scented for sure:
Elvis Costello - I Want You
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I'm going to say it once again til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you



Sylar, studying brains; Claire, kind of confused and not in pain?:
Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter
And so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love no glory
no hero in her skies
i can't take my eyes off of you



Sylar and Claire, the fandom idea what got fucked up by season 3:
The Mountain Goats - Dilaudid
the reception's gotten fuzzy.
the delicate balance has shifted.
put on your gloves and your black pumps.
let's pretend the fog has lifted.
...
'cause you just can't do
things your body wasn't meant to.
hike up your fishnets.
I know you.

if we live to see the other side of this,
I will remember your kiss.
so do it with your mouth open.
and take your foot off of the brake
for christ's sake



Sylar and Claire, two out of three remaining immortals:
Ani DiFranco - Buildings and Bridges
we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar into a joke
we are made to fight
and fuck and talk and fight again
and sit around and laugh until we choke

I agree with you on the Sylar/Claire/Elle threesome. THAT would be interesting to say the least.

Also, while I'm here, Ned and Chuck please?

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2008-11-13 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
(Ned and his aversion to emotional Heimlichs, and Chuck's ability to get the wadded up feelings sorted out anyhow)
Of Montreal - Repudiated Immortals
I don’t cry not ’cause I don’t care
It’s very hard to feel the way we used to feel up there
The creator of what’s now cliché
Wants us little things to cry and feel alone

But don’t don’t lose hope no no no no
No no no don’t feel sad ’cause it’s a violent world
But there’s still beauty
I’ll take care of you if you take care of me



(every single time Chuck breathes, it's Ned's fault.)
Ani DiFranco - Modulation
In order to
Say thank you to you
I must do it intentionally
But tonight with every breath
I can feel my death
Sure as I can feel my knees

You were my modulation
So that's what you will always be
We took each other higher
We set each other free



(they've been in love since their first kiss ;_; )
Coldplay - Til Kingdom Come
Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I've waited all these years

For you I'd wait... 'Til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
and say you'll come and set me free
just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me



(Chuck is a bee girl ♥)
Feist - Honey Honey
Honey honey up in the trees
Fields of flowers deep in his dreams
Lead them out to sea by the east
Honey honey food for the bees

Honey honey out on the sea
In the doldrums thinking of me
Me on dry land thinking of he
Honey honey not next to me
Even if he wanted to



(this song so perfectly captures the helplessness of not being able to touch each other... it practically is like having an ocean between them.)
Vienna Teng - Transcontinental 1:30 a.m.
wait my love
just one more thought
wait my love
I haven't got time in my life
to watch you drive out to sea

so please, wait
don't let this line go slack
I want to bring you back
to where I know you

wait
don't give up on this yet
I want you to let you let me hold you
wait my love
just one more thought

wait my love
i haven't got time in my life to watch you drift away
but i've all kinds of time if you'll stay

I know we're transcontinental, 1:30a.m.
and there's not even a wire, just a whispering in air

I know we're transcontinental, 1:30a.m.
but I'm here

^o^ Thank you muchly! I'm gonna enjoy listening to these.
