Jukebox Letter!

shinyfakehard Hi, creator!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make something for me. I'll try to keep this short, since I feel like that's kind of the point of a short canon exchange and my biggest thing I want is literally just The Song, But More, but please feel free to browse my old letters if you feel like you need more!
Fic likes: loyalty and group dynamics; competency at jobs and hobbies; AUs that explore canonical dynamics in different settings; mythical creatures and magic; smut; relationship messiness of all flavors: pining! jealousy! breaking up and making up! mismatched investment! denial!
If you write shipfic, I greatly prefer M/M as the endgame/focus.
Art likes: oversaturation, contrast, color blocking; atmosphere and settings; details and clutter. ex: x | x | X
Podfic likes: ... honestly hard to say? i_just_think_its_neat.jpg and I'm interested in what a musical exchange could inspire in this medium. If you've been looking for an excuse to something more experimental, please take this as permission!
DNW: apocalypse, massive natural disasters, complete dystopias; culturally accepted incest; graphic injury, serious illness, or gore; gender or sex swap; major character death; extreme underage (<14)
REQUESTS
Big Sky - Orville Peck
This song captures such a great sense of transience with the shifting loves, passing of time, and general cowboy vibes Orville always embodies. I'd love to see more of the relationships (the first one in my mind really connects with Dead of Night, and I'd be very open to seeing those twine together), especially with how they all feel In Times Past.
CAROUSEL - Travis Scott
Frank Ocean in the third verse is what really caught my interest the first time I heard this song, and listening to it on repeat really just... well, evoked the Frank classic of people spiraling with too many drugs and not enough rest in the worstbest time of their life. So, more of them not being able to trust anyone but their wallet and maybe each other on a good day?
Dan the Dancer - Mitski
I absolutely adore Dan and his secrecy and dedication. I know it's not canonical, but my ears always pull other male names out the final part of the song ("Christian had never danced outside of his room" and "Sean, his bedroom dancer, too") so my most dominant reading of this song has always been one of fighting to have good an honest relationships, with others and yourself, while still being closeted/in denial, leading to a love triangle between Dan and "her" and a male "you"...
It's not the only one, obviously, and I'd love to see what else you can pull from the song!
Get Some - Ghosted
The shamelessly, desperately horny lyrics! Awkward Sam! Her getting close to what she wants, then the twist, then her twisting back! It's all so very good. I don't think I can come up with any better prompts than what's already there. Just, more please?
He Would Have Laughed - Deerhunter
This song isn't incredibly long or complex, but it still manages to feel like such a journey. I don't know if it's because I stumbled upon this while I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2, but it feels very... civilizing the Old West with relentless capitalism without a care for you lose or hurt along the way.
My brain also tends to merge this song with Fluorescent Grey (also by Deerhunter), so if you want to combine that, too... I would waive my no major character death DNW.
NEW MAGIC WAND - Tyler, the Creator
Oh, sweet jealousy and desperation, I love it. Maybe this is post-breakup and the narrator still isn't over it, or this thing is dragging on without going where he wants it, and that's before someone else enters the picture...
Alternatively: heists? Dubiously ethical love magic?? So much to unpack if you take everything literally.
