*â§ song plots!
i love finding plots that are based off of songs, so iâve decided to write out a masterlist for you all! under the cut, you will find 13Â PLOTS based off of some of my favorite songs. most of these work best for two muses, but there are a few with more than two muse spots! the plots have been divided into what i think fits best as far as platonic, romantic, angst, or a combo of any, but you can adjust them to fit however you want! happy roleplaying!
PLATONIC;
*â§ youâve got a friend by carole king
âwinter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call, and iâll be there.â
a group of friends that would do just about anything for each other. theyâve grown up together, and their bond never changed as they made it through high school, college, and now into their adult lives. if one is in trouble, all they need to do is call and the others will come to their rescue, no matter where they are or what the situation is. even when some things in life arenât as good or easy, thereâs no doubt in any of their minds that theyâve always got a strong bond of friends to keep them grounded and love them unconditionally.
*â§ tango: maureen from RENT
"as she keeps you dangling, your heart she is mangling.â
MUSE A is the ex of MUSE C (can be played or be a NPC), who left them a few months ago for MUSE B. MUSE A & B have always assumed that they would not get along, so they havenât made much of an effort to meet. however, when they do, they realize that they had more in common than they once assumed. MUSE B has slowly started suspecting that MUSE C could be cheating on them, which they have discovered is a common thing for them to do, and what they did multiple times on MUSE A. MUSE B comes to MUSE A for advice, and MUSE B is happy to help them, as ironic and funny as this is for them. how will they get along, even with the common goal to stop the cheating MUSE C? will they still despise each other as it progresses, or will a new friendship be formed?
*â§ 9 to 5 by dolly parton
âyou would think that i would deserve a fat promotion.â
a group of four friends who all work in the same office. they all have their own dreams and aspirations, but the one common thing they all hold is that they donât want to stay there forever. through the ups and downs of being career-holding adults, theyâve got each otherâs backs. maybe theyâll all be able to live out their dreams one day, but for now theyâre trapped in the life of a 9 to 5.
ROMANTIC;
*â§ uptown girl by billy joel
âiâll bet she never had a backstreet guy, iâll bet her mama never told her why.â
MUSE A comes from a wealthy family, and was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. MUSE B is not as wealthy, and has had to work for everything they have. When they meet MUSE A, they are immediately smitten, and do anything they can to win even the slightest bit of attention. MUSE B knows that itâs not going to be easy, because MUSE A is used to dating others that have money. MUSE B has not lost confidence however, because they know one day that theyâll be able to get MUSE B to fall for them. Itâs only a matter of time before they truly see what theyâre missing.
*â§ this is life from bandstand
âbut this is life, with a heartache it brings, and we know that these things take time.â
MUSE A has been close friends with MUSE B for a while now, but thereâs obvious feelings between the two. the only kicker? there has been developing feelings for both sides for a while, but neither are willing to act on it, partially out of fear of rejection, but also with knowing that neither of their lives are simple. MUSE A is working on building up their business, and MUSE B has a budding music career that could take them beyond anywhere they imagined. now that their futures are ahead of them, they know they have to say something, but they know that life isnât a movie, and nothing is going to be easy.
*â§ only us from dear evan hansen
âi donât need you to sell me on reasons to want you.â
MUSE A and MUSE B havenât been together for very long, but it is super clear that they care very deeply about each other. while MUSE A is very secure in them self and their relationship, MUSE B is dealing with more insecurity, worried that one day MUSE A will suddenly change their mind. MUSE A is aware of their s/oâs thought processes, and does everything they can to show that MUSE B is the only person they need.
*â§ in a crowd of thousands from anastasia
âbut i knew even then, in a crowd of thousands, iâd find you again.â
MUSE A and MUSE B had a very short summer romance when they were thirteen years old, something that only lasted the length of a two month summer camp. they were each otherâs first kiss, and though it was minor, it stays a fond memory for both of them. fast forward over a decade, and the two have since lost touch, not having any way to communicate after camp ended. both have changed fairly significantly, and neither is aware that they are now working in the same town, in the same building for that matter. how will this affect them? will they recognize each other off the bat, or will it take time? what will they do when they find out who they work with?
ANGST;
*â§ lipstick on your collar by connie francis
"lipstick on your collar told a tale on you!â
MUSE A and MUSE B have been a couple for a while, typically noted as the âit coupleâ. Everyone knows them, and hardly knows one without the other. What MUSE A doesnât know, however, is that their best friend since diapers, MUSE C, has been hooking up with MUSE B behind their back. The secret pair has almost gotten caught a handful of times, but  how many times is too many before MUSE A finds out what theyâve really been up to all this time, and how will they take the news of their significant other cheating?
*â§ sad song by parson james
âand you were no good for me, and I was no good for you.â
a textbook toxic relationship. MUSE A and MUSE B are no longer together, and as much as it hurts them, maybe itâs for the best. thereâs always a special connection because they did mean the world to each other at one point, but it would be almost destructive if they stayed together. where will this put them now?
*â§ never going back again by fleetwood mac
âbeen down one time, been down two times, never going back again.â
MUSE A and MUSE B were in a relationship that quickly became toxic towards the end of it. as time went on, it became more of an on-and-off type of relationship, constantly breaking up and coming back together only to be more toxic each time. MUSE A has realized how harmful this is to them, and theyâve vowed that after the final breakup, they wonât go back to them ever again. However, MUSE B doesnât know what to do without MUSE A in their life, so they will do anything they can to keep the other around, even if it isnât healthy.Â
*â§ mamma mia by abba
âi canât count all the times i told you weâre through.â
MUSE A knows that MUSE B isnât good for them. theyâre toxic, unfaithful, and MUSE A can do so much better than the person that they choose to stay with. Just when MUSE A decides (once again) that enough is enough, MUSE B will always do something to reel them back in. a smile, a compliment, a gesture, anything, and theyâre back in the same stress theyâve been dealing with forever. will MUSE A eventually end it for good, or will the pair be in an endless, toxic loop?
COULD BE PLATONIC OR ROMANTIC;
*â§ cecily smith by will connolly
âwho cares what you are listening to, itâs who youâre listening with.â
MUSE A is rigid, and has always been one to follow the rules they are given. When they meet MUSE B, they are taken for a whirlwind of a ride MUSE B is a unique individual whoâs nothing like MUSE A has ever met before. they love opera, art, and other things that MUSE A has never taken much of an interest in. that is, until the date has ended. suddenly, their mind is opened up to all of the things that MUSE B enjoys, and they only want to know more, about them and their interests.
*â§ only the good die young by billy joel
âiâd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, âcause sinners are much more fun.â
MUSE A is the child of a super religious family, so theyâve always been sheltered, only being raised to follow god and their parents. they meet MUSE B, who is accompanied by a rowdy group of friends. they have a reputation for being much rougher around the edges , and theyâre usually doing something to get them in trouble (it may not be on purpose, but for the sake of the thrill. MUSE B always tries to get MUSE A to come out with them, but MUSE A is always hesitant of getting caught by their family. MUSE B just wants them to live a little, but MUSE Aâs parents have warned them against MUSE B because of how they treat people. MUSE A eventually agrees to sneak out with MUSE B, convinced by their behavior, and some sort of connection, whether that be romantic or platonic, begins to form. It doesnât help that they still have to hide from MUSE Aâs family.
