xirine :] 🚦

starting off is obviously just songs by Yaelokre like Harpy Hare like c’mon you can’t have a wha playlist without it. it just really does fit so so so much, four kids in a mystical and magical world that’s also filled with danger and people out there that try to stifle your joy and childlike wonder. i think it works well with like, richeh, agott, and euini’s backstories and their past experiences with mentors/family and the line “you can’t keep them all caged / they will fight and run away” yk yk yk

kamahalan is also just such a good one, with a different vibe that’s more about the joy and power of children, especially the qiflings who are all amazing in their own right. it’s too easy to relate yaelokre to wha

cole’s response and kid & leveret are such coco/agott songs you cannot prove me wrong. i have nothing else to say

Just a Man from Epic the musical just feels like a qifrey song, at least from what i’ve seen of him in the anime (and from the spoilers i’ve had shoved in my face since day one) like bro really is just trying to rest and be happy with his children and husband but he’s doing all these things that i really feel like he wouldn’t do normally? the repetition of “forgive me” sounds correct considering what we’ve seen qifrey do to Mr. nolnoa

Scars. Scars by The Crane Wives awugh i cannot get enough of this song it fits qifrey soooo well like what, it’s most definitely something i should not know seeing as i’ve only been following the manga as far as the anime goes, and i’m kept myself from knowing too much so i cant even explain how this song fits so so so well.

speaking of TCW and qifrey, Bitter Medicine is another banger that i love. qifrey lies and hides so much, i bet he feels guilty as hell sure but he’s gonna keep doing it if it means he can get to the brimmed caps. the lyrics that hit the most are “the pain is weak but it spreads anyway, anyway” and “is it a gift you give, or something precious i’m taking? / stolen sympathies, for all my worst mistakes” owhhh those hit like crack every time

Bitter Water by The Oh Hellos is another qifrey (can you tell that i like him also it’s just so easy to find songs for him), it’s such a olfrey song and filled with so much love. it really is qifrey. “and i feel it in my blood… the beast that can’t be killed”, “i know i shouldn’t love you, but i do” and ESPECIALLY “all the days of our delights are poison in my veins” it’s hard to believe this song wasn’t written with him in mind /silly

North by Sleeping At Last is a general atelier song but also a lot of tetia, i feel like, idk. she reminds me of mabel pines which is who i related this song to first lol. it’s so accepting and warm, i really love it. qifrey, olruggio, and the qiflings are a family gods damnit you cannot take this away from them. shout out to the lyrics “we will call this place our home / the dirt in which our roots may grow” and “let our hearts like doors open wide, open wide / settle our bones like wood over time, over time” which are aha pointed at You Know Who

i have so many more but these are the brainworms rn, maybe ill post about songs that fit other fandoms (ahem gravity falls because even in my deepest craze i never posted) yaaaaayyyyy
