Grr grr argh.

So I'm almost done with my general KHR FST. I'm only missing a few people; Colonnello (which is mostly just me being picky), Kyoko (I have one that might work, but it's more of a love song and I'm still looking to see if I can find something more gen), a few miscellaneous characters that I'm probably just going to leave off the soundtrack (Gamma, Spanner, Iemitsu, Basil, Lussuria, Chikusa, Ken, etc...), and... Dino. Who is STARTING TO GET ON MY NERVES. FUCKING HELL DINO why you gotta be like this. XD

So... just posting to vent (asfkjoiwl;!!1@), and also on the off chance that anyone has any suggestions... um. Much obliged? XD

Otherwise I'll probably just stick him with something generic, because SERIOUSLY.


ETA: [livejournal.com profile] xshoutitloudx IS AMAZING. BUT DINO IS STILL A BITCH.

ETA 2: [livejournal.com profile] poisontea is a lifesaver; NOTHING ELSE TO SEE HERE KIDS.

ID LOVE TO HELP *twitch* seriously, I'm pretty hardcore about FSTs and I can come up with tons of songs. B= any characters you're hemming and hawing about fits I'll help =D. I'll look more seriously but Collonello, first thing that pops up is:

Combat Baby - Metric )(lol title?
but also it could be like Lal singing it:
"Combat baby come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby come back"

Ooh, just listened to that one and I like it a lot. The chorus is totally him, and homg most perfect title ever. XD

THANK YOUUUU. ♥

Kyoko is an iconic love interest so I'd definately go for a beatles song like "I've Just Seen a Face" or "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" any song about a pure beautiful happy girl would match her I imagine... since she really don't have anything besides that flat aura. If you want other things I can offer them.

Dino is HARRRD. He doesn't have much going for him, even a generic song doesn't get it. I mean unfortunately most songs that talk about being a klutz of some sort involves it being a love song. I came out with 3 songs that could only marginally cut it. Klaxon's song 'four horsemen of 2012' talks of a man that is half-man, half-horse. It is a centaur reference but the song could cut it about squalo's dislike of dino possibly, and also of course due to the nickname. I'm no superman by lazlo bane is essentially about needing others to help you pull through sometimes, but its very specific and clearly wouldn't relate to a dino life, but the fact that he needs his men semi works. I also thought as a joke 'falling for the first time' would work if you take it literally as falling/tripping. The juxtaposition of being cool and then a line about being a dork works well for his double-sided person. I'll search more.

Any characters you're specifically looking for besides?

XD Diiinoooo. <3 But OMG, another fst! YAY! *pounce*

np B= I make them a lot for myself actually haha, but I am eventually coming out with ones of my own for Skins (because it is just 10x easier to make ones for it) XD series where there is too many specific characters with many of them lacking FULL character development is difficult @_@ but im tryyying~ haha

OH ALSO FOR LUSSURIA, I will love you forever if you use either "Gaybar" or "What What (in my butt)"

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-06-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... the Beatles songs you mentioned would be good, but there's still the problem of them being too love-centered. But your description of her actually gave me another idea which I think could work. I think she's covered now. o/

Man, Dino really is a bitch to FST. XD I like Superman, but you're right about it being a little too specific. Still, it's the best suggestion I've gotten so far; at least the chorus fits. XD I'm gonna look more too.

Thanks again! This is a huge help. <3

l-lol

I don't think I'm gonna do one for him, just because he's more minor in the scheme of things than some of the other Varia (I don't have one for Levi either >_>), and also because it would end up being more of a joke song than anything (Shamal was bad enough XDD), but. Now I am kind of tempted. XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-06-01 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
He's too damn full of annoying contradictions. Made of fail, and yet a badass! A mafia boss, and yet a super nice guy! PEOPLE JUST DON'T WRITE SONGS ABOUT THAT KIND OF PERSON. :|

But despite his lack of cooperation, I'm planning on posting the completed thing probably around Monday. Almost done, yay. |D

[identity profile] nuclearpez.livejournal.com 2008-06-01 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah also dino isn't really well... rounded enough? Like I mean the main characters, especially gokkun... sooo easy because hes so much angst XD.

Well moar regardless XD;;

Iemitsu could definitely be Father of Mine by Everclear, simply because he's really never home for Tsuna, regardless of him ever coming back he disappears again. The song doesn't fit PERFECTLY but it could fit well enough.

If you are looking for a serious Shamal one, Medicine Man by the Hush Sound is decent enough for the title and the fact that he is a sexual deviant and would like this song very much for himself ohoho

FST.... Fan soundtrack? *is a noob at these kinda things*

I don't think I'd be much help (for I am epicfail! at judging characters? Is that what you're supposed to do and choose the appropriate song for them?), but

GOOD LUCK

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-06-01 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Dino doesn't have those subtle bits and pieces to his character that you can latch onto when you're finding songs. That doesn't help. XD

I don't think I'm gonna do one for Iemitsu, just because then I'd probably have to do a few other characters too (like Basil, who would kill me XD), but I do like Everclear so I'm dling the song anyway. Thanks! |D As for Shamal, there's a good chance Medicine Man is.... prooooooobably a better pick than Mambo No. 5. sob XDDDD I will check it out!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-06-01 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, it stands for fan soundtrack. :) And that's basically the gist of it; since it's something I tend to do (and enjoy doing) anyway, I figured I might as well go all the way with it, even if it meant having to find songs for CERTAIN CHARACTERS THAT ARE PROVING VERY TROUBLESOME. XD

Thanks! <3

Oh hahaha. Sounds like fun! Although I know I will totally suck at it. *facepalms*

Oh Dino. ♥ I'd picture him listening to happy crazy stupid stuff like the older albums of Sum 41, but that's just me. D:

[identity profile] poisontea.livejournal.com 2008-06-02 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, it's not perfect, but the only song I can think of that I have EVER heard, that I can associate with Dino, is Grenade Jumper (Hey Chris) by Fall Out Boy.

My heart ticks in beat with
These kids that I grew up with
Living like life's going out of style
And you came to watch us play
Like a big shot talent
But at the end of the day you know
Where we come from and where we call home


It doesn't fit exactly, but it's the best I can come up with? :/ GOOD LUCK WITH THAT BITCH, HAHAHA.

And I forgot to say this before, but Falling for the First Time would have actually been perfect, except that it was already used for him in a different FST. Heh, go figure. XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2008-06-02 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what, this song is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for, which is to say that when I listened to it, afterwards I felt like I actually had a little more insight into him than before. It does feel like him, and it matches that mentoring side of him we've seen so often.

I think I'm gonna go with this. Thanks so much! <3
