15 Our Flag Means Death for somein30




This cute ass pirate show has taken over my heart and brain! I was working on some other icons for the song challenge at [community profile] somein30 but then I watched this show and my whole plan changed. So I present with delight 15 OFMD icons, each corresponding to a song. Technically this is Normal Mode - I did just shuffle my playlists, but I skipped around and just used any song that reminded me of the show in any way. Some references are serious and some are silly, but I had a lot of fun with this ♥ can't reccommend this show enough!!!

PLAYLIST!

1-5
6-10
11-15


SONG INSPIRATION:

1-5

1. AGONIA - Kayfex, Isabela Merced
Agonía, eres en lo que pienso noche y día
Hasta el cielo yo te seguiría
Can't u see I'm slippin'
Give me what I'm missin', missin'

2. Ain't Killed Me Yet - Adia Victoria
Now it's a hard way of livin',
But the livin' ain't killed me yet

3. Next to Normal - Lucius
(bonus for relevant band name)

Turns out, I wasn't crazy at all
I just had some walls up
That needed breaking
When I'm close to you, I'm next to normal
I feel immortal

4. Quiero Amarte - Thalía
Quiero amarte dulcemente, sin el temor9
A romper hoy nuevamente
Mi golpeado corazón
Quiero amarte dulcemente, sin el temor
A romper hoy nuevamente
Mi golpeado corazón
I would like to be more than an artery
that covers your heart

5. Follow Me - Pabllo Vittar, Rina Sawayama
If you wanna know what it takes
To throw all your troubles away
If you wanna set yourself free
Follow, follow me


6-10

6. World We Created - Giveon
I just wanna stay in the world we created
I just wanna sink in the plans that we makin'
When I leave I'm not lookin' for a replacement for what I got

7. Freak Flag - Open Mike Eagle
This is for the bums / Tuberculosis victims with the water on their lungs
This is for the punks / This is for the meek
This is for the geniuses that don't know how to speak
This is for the lame / This is for the herbs
Social lubrication in the handiness of words
This is for the small / This is for the weird
People who know better than to follow what they hear
This is for your fears

8. BUCK - Woodz, Punchnello
Life is short (life is short)
And life's a race (life's a race)
Whip whip! (Whip whip!)
Your time is tick-tock

9. Sweet - Syd
Don't need jewelry, don't need money, don't need nothin', babe
Nothin' but sweet, sweet, sweet lovin', babe

10. FANCY - TWICE
this one is self-explanatory lol ♥


11-15

11. Get Paid - Aluna, Princess Nokia, Jada Kingdom
Get paid, I'm out the door
Make money, I spend it, want more
Get mine, looking so fine
Tell them, "So don't waste my time"

12. Rolling Back the Rivers in Time - Girls Aloud
Rolling back the rivers in time,
Can't wait. Got to see his face somewhere
Holding back the minutes gone by,
Someday, got to see his face oh yeah

13. Lullabies - Tkay Maidza
On a high key chase with no alibi, singin' lullabies
Don't need dreams, can't be
But I'm speedin' past demons in the night

14. Nightflyer - Allison Russel
(ode to Karl ♥)

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider,
Stone bonafide nightflyer

15. Easy - Troye Sivan
You ran away to find something to say
I went astray to make it okay, and he made it easy, darlin'
I'm still in love and I say that because
I know how it seems between you and me, it hasn't been easy, darlin'

The yellow icons are beautiful and so is 4. I also like the text placement in 5, the unreal green in 6 and the crop in 14.

OMG so pleased to see such a big set from you!! Everything is incredible *__* LOVE the colors, compositions and texture use!! Ah you found a great way to do a semi-Extra hard mode, and landed on some really fun lyrics.

1 is great and super creative, love the crop and composition. I don't know how you made the stitch details but it looks like a ton of effort, wow!
2 is a standout for sure, when I first looked at it I thought it was just an unusual use of stripes as textures and I was already impressed but then I see those are knives/daggers/whatever (I don't know what weapons are, bear with me xD) and wow, how cool!! Love everything about this icon, the warm, vibrant coloring with brown shadows looks absolutely impeccable too.

5 is amazing, love the text warp that makes it flow and the pink text stands out super nicely against the blues!
The colorings in 6 and 7 are incredible, and the same goes for the wonderful purples in 10 (great background texture use too).

The depth in 11 is just wonderful. 12 reminds me of your classic blocking icons from waaay back, they were always gorgeous and so is this one - love the bw + pastels look and the tiny text works super well. 14 is funny but also really clean and cute, with great vibrancy and texture use, and a fantastic crop of course.

Super impressive set, thanks so much for entering and sorry for being here this late, it's been an insanely busy month!

[geckoholic]

This whole set is just UTTERLY PERFECT. I'm in love. So in love. Everything is beautiful. *_*

[longerthanwedo]

omg thank you so much!!! i love your icon too :D

[longerthanwedo]

yayyy semi-Extra hard mode yep that's it, leave it to me to create my own mode! lmao. thank you SO MUCHHH!!!!!! for the awesome round, all your hard work, and your lovely in depth comment <333

tbh i just drew all those stitches with my little pen. i love to take the long way sometimes it's actually easier lol

i don't know what weapons are either but i do know i found those by googling "dagger png" so uh. daggers!

thank you so much again!!! and omg i feel you this month has been crazy busy, i still need to go look at everyone else's icons

<3

[tinny]

Oops just found this tab open and realized I never commented. O_O

I love how colorful these are, and how you create scenes with background - especially 9, also 3, 5, 6, and 11. My fave in the bunch are 2 and 13 - both the daggers and the tiger + Jim are awesome!

[alba17]

I love these. Definitely taking some.

[dr_zook]

Oh my, they are all sooo beautiful!! I'm definitely snagging a bunch & will happily credit! 🤩
