❛ it's only love, nobody dies ❜
I've decided to dedicate this thread to roleplays inspired by songs. You can find my main thread here if you're interested in my regular roleplay plots and such. Just a quick walkthrough of what I'm wanting from these:
-Detail. Doesn't mean I want a novel for every post, but put work and detail into your responses.
-No controlling my character.
-Don't be selfish.
-I will be playing the female in these, but doubling is a possibility 99% of the time. I love playing multiple characters.
-Romance is a definite must for me 99% of the time.
-Don't be afraid to get dark on me.
-Also, these are just potential ideas. Feel free to share anything you may feel when you listen to the song.
-Unless specified, these can be SoL or modern supernatural/fantasy. I love both.
Russian Roulette - Rihanna
Potential Plot:
[MC] feels as though she has the perfect life. Perfect family, perfect friends, perfect boyfriend. She loves her job. One day, everything changes. She meets [YC]. A simple chance encounter, something to be forgotten-- or so she thought. Her perfect life is shattered when her boyfriend, best friend, someone in her family goes missing. There is only a note addressed to her, that she must join [YC] wherever, to get him/her/them back. She goes to the expected address, alone as directed, and come to find out it's all a big game. One she must play in order to get her loved one back. If she refuses, or if she loses... they lose.

Hurricane - 30 Seconds to Mars
Potential Plot:
[MC] is happily married to [YC]. Their backstory is all up to us, but they have been together for a while at least. Enough for her to know that he is a simple bank teller (occupation can be changed) who comes home on time every night, and loves her as much as she loves him. A simple knock on their front door changes everything. [YC] has a past, and a shady one at that. It's finally caught up to him. The murders, the lying, the stealing. Whatever he's done, it's standing on his front porch. Whoever is standing there is up to us, as well as what could happen next. The stranger could be an old lover who felt she was wronged when [YC] up and disappeared. Or it could be someone [YC] used to work for, come to reassign him after finally locating him. Could be something totally different.

Heathens - Twenty One Pilots
Potential Plot:
"Why'd you come, you knew you should have stayed. I tried to warn you just to stay away. And now they're outside ready to bust... It looks like you might be one of us." When I hear that line, I think something gang related. Maybe YC has been a part of the gang life his whole life; it's all he knows. MC is relatively good, and doesn't know anything about the underground life. They meet and hit it off, but before they know it, shit gets real and deep. YC knows he needs to cut her loose from his life, but MC doesn't want to leave. And if she won't leave... she'll have to join. Whether that be joining his gang, or getting kidnapped by a rival gang and just becoming a part of the life, or something else is up to us.

Closer - The Chainsmokers ft Halsey
Potential Plot:
I'm thinking that YC and MC were together maybe, say, in high school. Their relationship was explosive. Maybe they fought alot, maybe he cheated, maybe she was crazy (aren't all females, haha jkkk). Either way, they broke up and went their separate ways after graduation. Fast forword four or five years. They have their own lives. Maybe they're married, maybe they have kids. A good job, probably. Either way they end up in the same hotel for the night or the weekend, and they bump into each other. Will they pretend to not know each other (probably not)? Will they talk? Even... have a one night stand? If so, could that one night stand lead to more?

Criminal - Britney Spears
Potential Plot:
So I'm thinking that the girl in this plot is of higher class. A princess, or just a socialite/rich girl. She is expected to do things how she's told and be where she's told to be at a specific time. Her whole life is planned out, and then she meets the guy. He's a rebel, a badass, who doesn't live for anyone but himself. The RP would be about their affair/romance and we would see where it goes. ^^

Kaleidoscope - Courtney Act
Potential Plot:
(I'd most likely want to be Muse A)

Better Than I Know Myself - Adam Lambert
Potential Plot:
For this I don't have just one idea. This song and video, to me, is about some sort of internal struggle. Or external, for that matter. I have quite a few ideas for this, really. Someone dealing with some sort of mental illness, PTSD, something like that. Someone used to be one person, but something happened and now they have to struggle everyday to keep a normal face on. Or we could go the supernatural route, and maybe two people were friends (friends, bf/gf, etc.) and one got changed into a werewolf or vampire or something, and now they have to do the same thing. Anyway we can definitely chat about ideas if you have any if you listen to the song!

For Your Entertainment - Adam Lambert
Potential Plot:
Similar to a plot I have on my main thread, for this, I imagine some sort of good x bad pairing. Generally, I'd want to play the good part of the pairing, but I might be convinced otherwise. If we did it that way, I'd imagine the girl would maybe be in some sort of relationship, maybe she's unhappy or just wants some sort of adventure. Along comes the guy, willing and ready to play that part. If you have any ideas, shoot them my way!

Lips of an Angel - Hinder

Lips of an Angel - Hinder
Potential Plot:
So the idea I have for this is pretty straightforward. Girl and guy used to date and now or whatever reason are broken up. But one of them just can't resist the urge to reach out to the other, and the other will always answer...

At My Best - Machine Gun Kelly ft Hailee Steinfield

At My Best - Machine Gun Kelly ft Hailee Steinfield
Potential Plot:
Both of our characters are stuck in worlds where they feel like no one understands them or sees their full potential. Maybe one rich, one poor. We can throw anything in-- hell, maybe one or both of them is in some sort of relationship where they feel alone more often than not. A chance encounter brings them together, and they click, even if they know it could never happen.
