    I need song suggestions

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I wanna make some animations but I need some good song suggestions, most preferably alternative rock/pop/indie/folk, as I can't find ones with the specific themes I'm looking for

    Some themes I'm looking for (all in one song?)

    youth/loss of innocence

    insecurity/fear/mistrust

    friendship/admiration

    loss and coping

     

    Basically I want my animation to be about someone who is young and new to the wider world, who realizes how hard it is, but finds a new friend who helps them to be brave and face the world's challenges

    I. 

    Penny’s hands were shaking more than usual as she carried Mrs. Crane’s coffee mug and corkboard coaster to where she was sitting by the fire, surrounded by tall bookcases full of old books and little mementos of an unknown past. She had worked as a housekeeper many times before, sure. The nice old man down the street. The mother with her five kids. The guy who worked all day and needed someone to walk his dog. Those jobs had been relatively easy, though, because all of those people had been easy to please, and Penny was good at pleasing them. Not once had they ever yelled at her for making the baby cry or feeding the dog at the wrong time or putting the dishes in the dishwasher the wrong way. And she had delicate yet steady hands that were not prone to drop things or knock them over. Maybe it was her confidence that gave her such poise, because now she could see the coffee in the mug slosh up and down rapidly. Don’t spill on the rug, don’t spill on the rug, she whispered to herself, holding her breath as she crossed Mrs Crane’s beautiful oriental carpet. It felt rough and nubby under her socks, so it must have been hand-woven too, and very expensive. 
    She crossed the rug to the tall red wingback chair where Mrs Crane sat with her hunched posture and beady eyes. She wasn’t an old woman, though--her hair was long and blonde with graying roots, and it fell down nearly to her waist. She raised her head slightly as Penny approached. 
    “Took you long enough. Give it here.”
    Penny handed her the mug and gave a quiet sigh of relief. She didn’t think she managed to spill anything. 
    As if reading her thoughts, the woman continued. “You didn’t spill anything, did you?” 
    “No, ma’am,” said Penny. 
    “I hope not,” Mrs Crane hissed menacingly. “This rug cost me thousands. If you spilled on it, I would’a snapped your little neck.”
    Snap my neck? That’s a bit harsh, Penny thought. She didn’t want to admit it, but she knew it was too true: She was terrified of Mrs Crane. This woman had a reputation of being reclusive and nasty, and now Penny knew that for a fact.
    “Yes, ma’am,” Penny murmured. She left Mrs Crane there in her chair by the fireplace and headed out of the living room. “I’m going to clean the upstairs bathroom...if you don’t mind.”
    Mrs Crane didn’t say anything, so Penny crossed through the large hallway to the stairs. The ceilings were high, at least ten feet. The walls of the hall were covered with a forest green mural wallpaper, with intricate, vintage patterns resembling leaves and flowers. One side of the hall was lined with three large windows that reached from near the floor to the top of the ceiling. The dark mahogany trim and the smoky gray velvet curtains made the whole room feel warm but gloomy and mysterious. They reminded her of an english castle compared to her own small house. A sense of envy and longing washed over her as she turned at the double doors with the stained glass awning and began the climb up Mrs Crane’s long staircase.

    I'm writing a story too

    Summary: Through the power of a mysterious technology, a girl named Penny finds herself transported to a magical realm called Reverria where she befriends a race of giant tree nymphs. She soon learns that the leader of the nymphs and goddess of Reverria, named Tempest, is relentlessly targeting her newfound friend Arbor for crimes he claims he never committed. In the process, Tempest throws Reverria into chaos as deep secrets begin to be revealed. In order to save her friends and all of Reverria from destruction, she must embark on a quest to restore a long-lost magic source beyond Tempest’s control and use its power to destroy her once and for all.

    Thinking up this story gave me major Narnia and Steven Universe vibes. And some other stuff (but that would be spoilers).

    1. Words should only be capitalized (there's probably something I'm forgetting, but usually this is it) when A) They're the first word in a sentence (ex. The girls ate.) or B) They're a proper noun (names, places, brands, etc) (ex. Isabella ate Thin Mints.)

    2. Try and spread out the descriptions-- just a little bit at a time (you can put more in one place if a character is looking someone down when meeting them-- ex. "A girl ran towards me. Her blonde hair fell out of her bun as she stepped, and her flower crown of daisies nearly fell off. She had a long purple cat hoodie on, though the hood was not up.). Instead of saying "She had blonde hair in a bun and a flower crown of daisies," try something like "A lock of her blonde hair fell out of her bun into her face, bringing a daisy from her flower crown with it." Give some action rather than just tell.

    3. This is what's called a "run-on sentence". It's taken several subjects and put them in one sentence, making it too long and confusing. (An example with the run-on-ness corrected: “Pfff! As if!” Isabella Laughed as She And Her Friends Ate Thin-Mints And Played games in her Bedroom. She Had Blonde hair in a bun and A Flower Crown of Daisies, short shorts and A Purple hoodie with green cat eyes and ears on the top that stretched down slightly past her thighs. Her hood was not on.)

    Here's an example of what I might write if I were to write this sentence:

    "Pfff! As if!" laughed Isabella, a Thin Mint in hand. She and her friends were playing games in her bedroom. Her laugh causes a lock of her blonde hair to fall into her face, causing a daisy from her flower crown to fall to the floor. (later I'd put in the hoodie part)

    Don't be discouraged from there being too many errors. You're learning. Making mistakes can help you improve. Just keep working!

    I agree with all of this (although with your last sentence you might not want to put 'cause/causing' in the same sentence twice.) :)

    This is actually an intriguing story. I might post some of my writings here too actually lol

    Gonna make some mass side characters

    Name: Sharp Arrow

    Clan: Starlight

    Rank: Watcher

    Gender: M

    Age: 6 years

    Appearance: Thin silver tabby

    Personality: Reserved, thoughtful and a bit aloof but a lot less rigid/inflexible than many other Starlight cats. 

    Notes: Misty, Orange and Dew's father. His mate, Willow Branch, was 'murdered by bears'. He has a close friend from Clan Alley, and therefore shares close ties and connections to that Clan. It makes his clanmates suspicious of his loyalty. He can be a mentor to any Starlight learner

     

    Name: North Wind

    Clan: Starlight

    Rank: Medicine Cat

    Gender: F

    Age: 6 years

    Appearance: short furred calico

    Personality: Warm, charismatic, kind, and a bit more extroverted than most other Starlight cats

    Notes: Sharp Arrow is her brother. They were both born into Clan Alley. 

     

    Name: Frost Whiskers

    Clan: Bobcat

    Rank: Nurse-Mother

    Gender: F

    Age: 5 years

    Appearance: White and cream, blue eyes

    Personality: Sweet and charismatic, down-to-earth, and fantastic at manipulating and lying (though she has no malicious intent).

    Notes: She has 2 kits, Heavy Rain and Honey Drop. Her mate is the leader, Bright Arbor.
