So, I thought, "Huh, a lot of people headcanon different songs as the themes for Creepypastas, I wanna do that!" And here it is! Part one of two!
Jeff - (Obviously) Sweet Dreams (Marilyn Manson cover)
Reasoning: I have none, it's literally been his theme song since his inception into internet culture, so it's obviously going to stick around as his theme.
Homicidal Lu- Mad Hatter by Melanie Martinez
Reasoning: I mostly attribute the lines in the chorus to his character, specifically the line about being "the craziest friend that you've ever had," which I'm probably going to personally reference within my friend and I's story as a quote.
The other line in the chorus I attribute to him is "You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone" as his victims seem to look at him like he's out of his mind (which, I mean, kinda?)
The other two lines that work for him are "We paint white roses red, each shade from a different person's head," as he usually uses 'we' in reference to his personalities, and also...murder.
And a line near the end of the song that goes something like "And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone, it's probably the reason that we get along," which would fit for his and Jeff's familial relationship and how they haven't murked each other yet.
Laughing Jack- Boogie Woogie Wu, Insane Clown Posse
Reasoning: Uhhh, mainly because it's a crude and goofy song, and it has "clown" in the bandname, not much reasoning there.
Eyeless Jack- Come Little Children (Y'know the one from Hocus Pocus, you may not know but there's a full version)
Reasoning: Due to my characterization of EJ being a protector of those lost in the woods, this song would fit him as it sounds like a lullaby, fitting his motherly character in my AU.
I feel as though my version of EJ would guide lost souls of those who had died in the woods, probably children, hence the song title.
Then again, maybe the song has some dark arse connotations I'm not aware of...
Ticci Toby- Oh No by Marina and the Diamonds
Reasoning:
The whole song has Toby vibes written all over it, some lines that fit really well with my iteration are:
"I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine,"
He works for Slenderman and really has no time to be himself or show interest in much else but obtaining souls for Slender (he eats souls of the innocent). He's stuck with a brave face to do whatever Slender says, can't (or won't rather) show his other emotions for fear that his boss will punish him.
"I'm now becoming my own self fulfilled prophecy,"
He's sealing his own fate and he has no idea how to stop it because Slender took away all of his memories of before the Manor and the Proxy Initiative, everything he does just tightens Slender's grasp on what's left of his life.
"One track mind, one track heart, if I fail, I'll fall apart,"
He can't do anything else for very real fear of punishment by Slender, he has to keep his weary mind on the task before him or face consequences for barely stepping out of line, Toby is scared of doing something stupid, so he tries to think about nothing.
"Don't do love, don't do friends, I'm only after success,"
Toby just wants to do what Slender says, believing that showing love will get him into trouble, his only source of showing love is to his hatchet, and also due to his issues, developed an unhealthy attachment to said object.
And his only friend is Ben, who was there since second grade, which is the only original memory Slender left him, even the memory of the fire he set to his house was scrambled, because Slender has the ability to change memories.
Even his brother X-Virus, or Cody, as Toby calls him since it is his real name, is shoved aside in favor of obeying Slender, giving their relationship a real dent.
Speaking of...
X-Virus- Ready to Die, by Andrew WK
Reasoning: I know it's Pinkamena's theme song thanks to Cupcakes HD, but screw it, the song fits for him too!
Probably thanks to the "you're just a parasite," line, that totally helped out.
Anypoodles, this is the end of Part One, join me soon for Part Two
