eighthphaseSince apparently I still can't shut up about That I Were Like A Star, have some more words about it!
Probably my favourite part of writing it - at least of writing what I wrote of it - were the random little things I added: band names, computer brands, and kids' shows. Noé is obsessed with Aerial Falcon, and has all the films; he makes Estelle watch Storm of the Century! Aerial Falcon Versus the Thunder God, Desperate Struggle! Aerial Falcon and the Endless Eight, and Aerial Falcon Returns! The Tournament of Darkness! Adelaide also kind of likes Aerial Falcon (probably because Noé makes her watch it with him so much) and her favourite one is The Brotherhood of One! Aerial Falcon and Obsidian Shade. Meanwhile Estelle's favourite childhood cartoon is Ririka's Magical Fantasy Zone (which I am not ashamed to admit I actually kind of started writing, just on a whim). Linda is in love with the film Methods of Rationality, but she hates the band Jackson and the Destroyers of the World (which does death metal covers of pop songs). Every time Estelle's listened to a CD thus far it's been Unwound Future, the latest album by Candied Revolution (which are kind of a cross between My Chemical Romance and Muse).
Maybe it's the little stuff like this that ~*~fleshes out the world~*~ but I think it's really fun coming up with it all. I actually ended up making a Candied Revolution playlist - it's all the Muse and MCR I have, with a handful of Linkin Park as well as a few other tracks that I think were supposed to end up on a different playlist but which work well with the rest of it (The Carpal Tunnel of Love, a few Panic! At the Disco songs from Vices and Virtues, and an English version of Bad Apple!!, I believe). Things like this make the world seem more real to me, and I enjoy getting into it all.
