#SongsOfSeptember Day 29 Free day! Feel free to repeat any question you want to share another fitting song for a character, emotion, scene--whatever~ I'll post the full month below! And don't forget to tag~

A card showing today's prompt. It has a rose on a music sheet in the background with a lilac hue, and a gray box in the middle shows the prompt. The title's at the top, and there are song lyrics at the bottom.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 28 Music's made to share, so it's time to give the gift of song! Tag someone and tell them a song you think would fit one of their stories or characters~ If you're struggling with that, then post one that doesn't fit your work, but you hope might fit someone else's!

And then @windykazea.bsky.social, I've... been sending you songs all month, so I screwed myself over on this one XD'' But here, I thought Forgotten by NateWantsToBattle might be a nice song for everyone to cheer Asali up when she's struggling~ ...if you don't have it already >.>''

#SongsOfSeptember Move Mountains by Divide Music~ I feel like it works for a few characters as they keep moving despite everything that happens, but especially Farish~ It seems like the type of song he could use sometimes to help push him forward XD
