Song Challenge: Character Playlist Edition - Reuben Crouch - August 25, 2019

This is a variation on the 30 Songs Challenge. For those of you who weren't around for any of the variations of the 30 Songs Challenge (first one was in 2013 guys we're all old), the idea is that you start out with songs, pick a chunk of lyrics, create a thread whose theme is based on those lyrics, and name the thread the name of your song.

This thread is one of mine from the last challenge that I did with Bree, if you want an example!
And this glorious one with Kayte, which lead to Ben getting arrested and fantastic plot development.

Now for the Character Playlist variation:

- Pull up a character playlist or create one.
- Pick ten songs to use for the challenge
- All of the threads you start are with the character whose playlist you're using.

Dropped to ten because thirty threads with one character is... excessive. BUT theoretically this should be easier than the original challenge, because all of these songs already remind you of that character anyway.

What do you win? Bragging rights. Because this isn't an official site thing, your threads don't need to be completed and archived to count, either. Also - song not working for you anymore? Switch it out; I'm not the muse police. This is just meant to inspire your writing/plot developments.

Feel free to do it with more than one character at a time if you feel so inclined. Also, quick plug for posting wizard; go sign up with whoever you pick!

Now, Ben's list:

Show

Be My Mistake - the 1975

So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake

Could be Bella Scrimgeour if you're up for that, or another fling - but Ben needs to have some sort of emotional catalyst first so he has something to rebound from :P
Sweet Disaster - DREAMERS
Drunk - Ed Sheeran

I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And every excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I hate
What didn't kill me
It never made me stronger at all

Morning after Be My Mistake maybe?
Sucker - Jonas Brothers

I've been dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark, can't get enough

IDK I don't have plot ideas yet, it's just so Ben.
Just Another Girl - The Killers
Real - Bowling for Soup

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really fuck up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don't know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me

/inevitable apology thread when Ben fucks something up
Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood & The Destroyers

I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Closer - The Chainsmokers

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

I love these lyrics as a breakup song for Ben - which will inevitably happen for someone. Bella, Melody, another girl - I'm accepting applications. this song is also on Ben's playlist but didn't make this list - but it's relevant xD
For Forever - Dear Evan Hansen

Telling jokes no one understands
Except us two
And we talk and take in the view
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way
Two friends on a perfect day

Una Walsh I STILL WANT THIS FOR THEM.
Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event

And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost

Maybe Melody and a new guy? Or...?

RE: Song Challenge: Character Playlist Edition - Bella Scrimgeour - August 25, 2019

Definitely not opposed to Bella and Ben unintentionally meeting up at some point or another, especially since she's tied to nothing specific at the moment. Just let me know!

Meanwhile, I'm going to try and figure out who to do this challenge with. xD

RE: Song Challenge: Character Playlist Edition - Melody Crouch - August 25, 2019

I'm down for all of these songs. Just tell me where and when
