Hey, let's do a tag journal meme thing.

What are the rules? Pick an OC and match them with a musical theme, as if they're in a TV show or movie series. Be sure to give substantial reasons why. Bonus points if you manage to single out a leitmotif. Tag backs are welcome. In fact, encouraged.

For this one, I chosen Madeline "Maddie" Violet from the SOMR AU (pictured 2nd from left to right).

SOMR AU Seasons Reveal by NaijMizuho

To me, a track I really find suitable for Maddie is aLIEz by Hiroyuki Sawano. For example, here's a piano cover of the song.



As it has a very melancholic tone to it, I expect it to be used more frequently (in a what-if this was a TV series world) in SOMR AU: Fall and closer to the end of SOMR AU: Summer. At the same time, it has a slightly menacing mood to it, which works extraordinarily well for Maddie as it hints towards the dark path she finds herself going down. At the same time, maybe because it's just a piano cover, but it has a similar aura to the piano rift of From Shadows, Blake's theme.



In fact, going back to the whole idea of it being a TV show, I can imagine it finding use as the ending credits for each episode of SOMR AU: Fall, where that little bit before the singing creeps in at the end before it cuts/fades to black into the ending credits. For an idea how it originally sounds like here it is (Left: For weebs, the original version. Right: An English cover by AmaLee).



And to drive the whole notion of a leitmotif home, here's a scene of mass murder from Aldnoah.Zero, using said leitmotif and where aLIEz comes from. Expect it to kinda influence some ideas I might have for SOMR AU: Fall...



Now I tag...
