tiger_moran I am kind of thinking I need to make a playlist for this writing project that I'm totally not getting into honest.
Although it's probably going to be just most of my Moriarty/Moran playlist but with more instrumental pieces and more, uh, neofolk? Folktronica? And whatever the thing that Skáld have going on is called (Nordic folk or Pagan folk apparently). And maybe more death-themed stuff since that's... kind of a big thing in it. Although death symbolism has also been kind of a big thing with Moriarty and Moran too to be honest. I am obsessed with the fact that Moriarty is basically Death and they both have the mor in their name and together they are mors (I still really need to finish my essay about all of that and other symbolism and stuff) and this is probably a huge factor in why I am so so tempted to try to put them into a universe where they are literally practically immortal because it fits them so so well. Also admittedly because I am also really obsessed with the idea of Moran with dyed black hair and nail varnish and eyeliner and in a universe where they are basically immortal it would be entirely possible to have him in both Victorian attire and doing the whole goth-rivethead thing in the modern day/near future. Also because I so want to write something which has both the characters I love but also diesel trains in it too (I am also particularly obsessed with the train D326 AKA the train that got robbed during the Great Train Robbery AKA the train which was supposedly cursed because not only did it get robbed it also suffered brake failure, went off by itself and crashed into another train and in another incident electrocuted someone as well as being involved in various smaller scrapes apparently. Supposedly according to some people it killed someone else too but I think that is probably just a myth based on something that happened with a different train. Sadly it got scrapped years ago but I do love this concept of a seemingly cursed/murderous diesel train, maybe even that specific cursed/murderous diesel train actually having survived the breaker's yard. Also there are trains called Deltics which I love very much (their engines make the most fabulous noise, the kind you can feel in your chest not just hear, I love it) but sadly most of those were scrapped too but maybe in my universe another one of those survived too (Crepello my beloved. I don't know why, probably because the name is unusual (it was named after a racehorse whose name was his parents' names smooshed together) but also easy to remember unlike the names of most of the Deltics (the ones that didn't have racehorse names had names of army regiments and are therefore mostly impossible for me to remember), I latched onto Crepello really hard, which is unfortunate since Crepello was scrapped) Several of my characters would totally be willing to steal an entire train though. And some of them would probably be perfectly willing to buy or acquire a train in bits and spend many decades putting it back together again, they kind of have time to spare after all.
(I have no idea why I just started thinking about a song I was obsessed with for a little while years ago but I cannot remember who the artist is nor do I have a clue what the song was called or was about or how it went, literally all I can remember is that is was a female artist. That is really not helpful in trying to work out what this song is and why I suddenly thought about it.)
