The August 2014 metaplot was pretty intense!
Friendships were made, broken, lots of disillusionment...explosions...it was heavy stuff!
Soooo why not document highlights with a very fitting song?

I'm going to be piecing together a Lyricstuck HOPEFULLY before I'm back in collegeland (though it will likely run over), and since I was a meta participant, I'm a little...biased towards my own troll and her experiences. :'D That and I'm in a place right now where I don't have the attention span or patience to go through every relevant thread and pick and choose scenes on my own.

So that's where you come in! I want to include every troll who participated in this meta, hopefully evenly, as well as their awesome scenes during the territory game, ORPs, endgame, and whatever else is relevant!
In this thread, you can nominate scenes that you think will fit the lyrics!

You can give me stuff your characters were involved in, suggest scenes with trolls you didn't participate in first hand, it's all fair game! As long as the troll-owner is fine with their kiddo or teen being included in the lyricstuck to begin with, of course.

I'm going to be using Genesis's Land of Confusion, since I think it's a great theme song for this meta.

And here's a cover by Disturbed, too, if you're into that:

Here are the lyrics on their own for your convenience:
Quote:

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night.

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago


I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.

Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.
[Ripped from A-Z Lyrics]


All lyric lines and chunks are up for grabs, and don't be afraid to suggest a scene for a line / chunk that others have already nominated something for!
This is especially important for the choruses, since they're repetitive but still need to be filled in!

Now, if you read the lyrics in this post, you'll see that there's a green segment. I figure that we can branch out from the meta and use scenes from PRPs and backplotting to fill in for that! Basically if someone's troll had good experiences with another troll, but it wasn't during the meta, it's encouraged that you nominate them for that!

So, breakdown: I'm making a lyricstuck. Gonna be drawing the whole thing. Need suggestions and recommendations to make it as inclusive as possible. Yay community!
However, if you DO NOT WANT YOUR TROLL INVOLVED FOR ANY REASON, please let me know. :>

Ooh ooh! I'm gonna just go in here and give my FIRST IMPRESSIONS because i'll have to think more about it but it helps me if I just get out all of my thoughts in a go. So there'll probably be some really loose ideas here from me which you can TAKE AS YOU MAY. They might also not be too helpful but this is kind of the 1st thing i think of when i went through it.

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.


good opening lyrics aah! this one certainly sounds like a rebel based verse but dreams and hauntings and screams remind me of tamiya and her horror/fear.

There were a number of uprooted rebels as well but i cant currently think of an appropriate sceeeene

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night.


first thing i thought of visually were the speeches with simultaneous connotations of both sides -- first the royals and then the rebels

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.


uUUuUghh everything about destruction of bases and the teams on the field. just a montage of s**t going down (which probably isnt viable or helpful for your lyricstuck) -- i guess scenes i think of are when bases are being taken down at the same time as they're put up? like tunnel snakes had one and totally spies had one i believe. not sure if there was a situation like that in other teams

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.


whose goals were even pure for this. my first thought is kei's undying go-forth-ness to this, but on the rebel side there were some very selfless moments like as well. you could also go the opposite direction and make the lyrics rather dark a la highbloods making it a "place worth living in"

Ooh Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.


this makes me think of ganyma losing control right away. :< maybe also a slight towards the power struggle between both sides? the more damaging explosions or PHYSICAL DANGER may ensue here


This was as far as i got tonight. i am so tired. I will keep thinking >3
