the duality between six shooter and lil stanley still makes me lose it
even stan's drawings of himself being badass are adorable which contrasts with ford's dramatic as hell ones
I love my Watchmen playlist that I wrote down every song and why it is on itđ
Why each song on my WATCHMEN playlist is on it:
Unforgettable- Nat King Cole: The ad that plays for Veidt as Dan and Laurie kiss in Chapter 7
Im Your Boogie Man- KC & The Sunshine Band: The song from the riot scene in the movie.
The Comedians- Elvis Costello & The Attractions: The title of chapter 2, Absent Friends.
The Times They Are a Changinâ- Bob Dylan: Credit Scene in the movie.
Desolation Row- Bob Dylan: Title of chapter 1, At Midnight All the Agents.
All Along the Watchtower- Bob Dylan: Title of chapter 10, Two Riders Approaching.
All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix: Title of chapter 10, Two Riders Approaching.Â
Sanctus (Sanities)- Music For a New Society- John Cale: Title of chapter 11, A Stronger Loving World.
Please Mr. Kennedy- Elvis Costello, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver: Fits the era. About not wanting to go into outers space/ the space race.
Swamp- Live- Talking Heads: About War, multiple aspects fit.
Donât Let Me Be Misunderstood- Elvis Costello: Elvis Costello, could be about multiple of the characters. âI'm just a soul whose intentions are good/ Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstoodâ Could have multiple meanings. Rorschachâs vigilantism, and trying to clean up the city while also obviously breaking the law. Could also be about guilt over other things.
Youâre My Thrill- Billie Holiday: From Chapter 7.
Iâll Be Seeing You- Billie Holiday: Just another song by Billie Holiday since Daniel loves her. Iâll be seeing you is also a song about missing a loved one, so I chose it because Dan would obviously miss Rorschach and might be reminded of that by listening to the song.
Snow Owl- The Mountain Goats: Dan is Nite Owl, and wears a snow owl costume in chapters 10 and 11. Thats it lol.
99 Luftballons- Nena: Played in the scene where Dan and Laurie get dinner in the Watchmen Movie.
Dance Music- The Mountain Goats: Reminds me of Laurie and her snow globe in chapter 9. The entire song reminds me of Daniel and Laurie.
Die Walkure, Act III: Ride of the Valkyries- Richard Wagner: From the section of under the hood after chapter 1.
Southwood Plantation Road- The Mountain Goats:
Nuts (feat. rainy bear)- Lil Peep, rainy bear: There is a really good watchmen edit to this of Dan and Laurie lol
 Yeh Yeh- They Might Be Giants: I dont really know why I just think it fits the vibe.
I Bet On Losing Dogs- Mitski: Daniel and Rorschach sadness. Rorschach is said losing dog that Daniel bets on.
Once More to See You- Mitski:Daniel and Rorschach sadness part two. Gay.
Heart To Heart- Mac DeMarco: There is a really good watchmen edit to this of Dan and Rorschach.
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle- The Smiths: Reminds me of Daniel and Rorschach. About wanting to protect someone from evilness and harm.
Kryptonite- 3 Doors Down: Besides being about DC comics, the chorus about going insane and still being there to support the person reminds me of Daniel and Rorschach after the Blaire Roche Case.
Ainât No Sunshine- Bill Withers: The entire section of âWonder this time where she's gone/ Wonder if she's gone to stay/ Ain't no sunshine when she's gone/ And this house just ain't no home/ Anytime she goes awayâ Reminds me of Daniel wondering where Rorschach is and if he is okay and if he is going to survive.
Watching The Detective- Elvis Costello: Another Elvis Costello song, also it is about detectives which reminds me of watchmen lol.
I Should Be Allowed To Think- They Might Be Giants: The priest quotes the first section of the chorus to Walter in the Before Watchmen for Nite Owl. Obviously hes quoting the poem and not the song, but the song quotes the poem so yk.
Army Dreamers- Kate Bush: Reminds me of Rorschach. It is talking about the potential everyone had before going to war just to die. Walter/ Rorschach had potential to be something greater. He was very intelligent and hard working, but due to his experiences and traumas from childhood and then soon vigilantism, he never could really be the person he should have turned out to be.
Real Men- Mitski: Reminds me of Rorschach and his judgment of everyone and most likely himself.
Little Dark Age- MGMT: There is a really good Watchmen edit to this song.
Back to the Old House- The Smiths: Could be about literally any single one of the people in watchmen besides The Comedian or Veidt, but even then you could probably twist it to fit in their favor.
This Night Has Opened My Eyes- The Smiths: Also could be about any of the Watchmen characters. The section âYou kicked and cried like a bullied child/ A grown man of 25/ Oh, he said he'd cure your ills/ But he didn't and he never willâ is like Rorschach (and there is a good edit to this song about him.)Â The lyric âThis night has opened my eyes And I will never sleep againâ fits for all the characters.Â
The Comedian: Him learning about Karnak and going to visit Moloch, having basically a mental breakdown.
Rorschachâs mental break over the Blaire Roche case.
Daniel and Laurie after witnessing Karnak.
Doctor Manhattan's death and rebirth in the test chamber.Â
With Veidt I think this part relates to Doctor Manhattan talking to him after Karnak and making him question his choices. The talk has opened his eyes and he doesnât know if he can live with himself after.
I Know Itâs Over- The Smiths: Also just about Rorschach
Cold Island- My Singing Monsters: There is a wonderful Doctor Manhattan edit to this song.
She- Elvis Costello: Another Elvis Costello song. DanRor?? LMAO
Wake Up (Itâs 1984)- Oingo Boingo: Rorschach. Him trying to preach his beliefs.
Old College Try- The Mountain Goats: This entire song is so DanRor it is so awfully wonderful.
Sun To Me- Zach Bryan: âââThe only bad you've ever done was to see the good in meâ âŚ.. danror.
I Donât Smoke- Mitski: Also Danror, sorry there is ALOT of songs that remind me of danror haha.
also.. watchmon
part of me wishes we got a new rorschach disguise after walterâs prison break â not because the original look is bad, no, quite the opposite
this man worked in the textile industry and it shows
the purple gloves?? the pin-stripe pants?? that little neck-scarf thing- hello??? this a DESIGNER
-which makes it even more unfortunate he doesnt have the time/resources/motivation to put towards it. I know any further work of his would be absolute HEAT
starting a petition to get walter off the streets and behind a sewing machine
tldr: he may be mentally ill but damnit that son-of-a-bitch can color-coordinate
....... why not
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
using âAgent Aâ as Alfredâs code name and using âBâ for Batmanâs shortened name in the field suggests thereâs a world where âAgent Aâ is shortened to âAâ and everyone in Gotham and on the Watchtower is terrified of him. because theyâve met B. and if this is B??
Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. đŁ
