"Out of Range" = Hal, ain't gonna lie.

[luciazephyr]

Ellen and I are going through our old chat logs and found pieces of our conversation musing about why we associate Ani DiFranco music with Hal all the time.

Lucy: And I worry that I apparently mentally consider Hal an angry feminist woman. :|
Ellen: :dies: I...I have no words
Lucy: :shame:
Ellen: pffahahahhaha.
Lucy: WELL HE IS SUCH A FUCKING HOUSEWIFE IN MGS4, OKAY?
Ellen: XD I STILL--AHHAAHA-- I STILL. OH GOD. HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT?
Lucy: I DUNNO.
NOT BY LISTENING TO THE ALBUM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
Ellen: I TRY TO VISUALIZE THIS ANGRY FEMINIST HAL BURNING BRAS AND YELLING AT SNAKE FOR NOT BEING SENSITIVE ENOUGH
Lucy: OH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP :DIES LAUGHING:
Ellen: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.
Lucy: "Where did you get those?" "N-naomi left them." "OH HERE WE GO WITH YOUR DEAD GIRLFRIEND." "Oh let it go." "I'm not the one who cheated." "Oh fuck you, you can sleep on the sofa."
Ellen: DFKLJSDFLKJ XD "We don't have a sofa in this safe house, it's too small to fit. :| "
:mumbles: "If someone could refrain from overtly carrying guns to meetings with respectable house owners, we might not keep ending up in closets."
Lucy: "We were once international terrorists, dear." "Don't you 'dear' me, asshole."
(lol, crabby old married men!Snake and Otacon makes me glee.)
Ellen: (XD :briefly ponders the verb "to glee": God but they are so cute.)

It's probably not a good thing that I do most of my fic plotting in the same room as Ellen...

Oh, and now she says I have to work this into the genderfucked!Hal fic I might write. Goddamnit.

...I haven't written anything about Otacon yet, but I think he has 'folkie' written all over him. I was thinking Dar Williams more than Ani DiFranco, but hey, I love it when headcanons line up like that. <<

I'm doing a fanmix of "Stray", so I am constantly connecting Hal and Adamska to music. It's irritating, but I can't stop.

Ooooh, Dar Williams, :jots that name down:

[thene]

Catch these:

The Great Unknown (folkiness about nuclear families & nuclear arms, for real)

February (folkiness about log-cabin living in winter, for real)

Mortal City (it just seems like Hal's kind of lovesong, to me)

Comfortably Numb (a cover Dar did with Ani DiFranco, yay)

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

oooooh, music! :ganks, like the music whore she is:

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, "Mortal City" is pretty. :O

[thene]

^I concur, and it makes me cry sometimes.

aaahwah3qewtq, I can't believe I forgot this one - Stop Smoking.

[codecmoments.livejournal.com]

I have to say, I didn't like that one. I think it went a little to folksy for my tastes. :O

[thene]

Fair - it's one of the first things she ever wrote, and I forgot it because it's not on my mental list of her really good ones. But it seemed appropriate. :P

It's not a bad song. Slightly preachy, but fuck, I listen to DiFranco, I like preachy.

It's kind of funny to me that you are all Dar Williams = Hal while my Hal image song for the Stray mix is goddamn Of Montreal. "A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger," the peppiest song about depression and slight craziness you'll ever hear. :giggles: In my defense, my music tastes could be referred to kindly as "strange" and not-so-kindly as "schizophrenic". The Stray mix has everything from Andrew Bird to Coldplay to TMBG to Regina Spektor. :3


Wow, I babble there. Sorry, have been working on this mix for a month now and have had only Ellen to share it with. dkghfjdkg
