K.L. Noone's latest update for A Prophecy for Two

Dec 29, 2016

Just over two weeks left, and 59 copies to go! We can totally do this!! And thank you all for the support so far - this wouldn’t happen without you!

So this isn’t the third chapter yet (soon! I promise!) but someone asked me about this over on Tumblr, and I couldn’t resist the answer: in some sort of modern-day alternate universe, what music do Tir and Oliver listen to?

Well, I do normally write with music in mind (a lot of my story titles come from there) so...

Tir is totally a catchy pop music fan. Like, Katy Perry pop music. Like he probably knows all the words to “Teenage Dream” and dances around his bedroom singing. And when he gets caught he explains, flawlessly straight-faced, that this is part of studying humanity. (No one buys it. Not really.) (And then he’ll put on Mumford & Sons and pretend he meant to do that all along. He does actually like Mumford, mind you.) He also adores musicals, but he can’t watch Les Miserables, because he’ll cry over Eponine and Gavroche every single time, for probably obvious reasons.

Oliver is rather more conventional, or at least less prone to introspection and self-examination; he’s probably a classic rock fan: the Rolling Stones, Journey, Rick Springfield...but he’s a crown prince who’s also an artist, so he’s got some quirky independent friends too. He’s got, oh, the odd Strumbellas album, some Pansy Division, early Tegan & Sara, and Tacocat on his playlist. He tends to like most genres, or at least not mind them. He likes musicals and theater too, but he generally enjoys the comedy type of musical more. He brings the tissues if they’ve somehow ended up seeing Les Mis. (He pretends, badly, that they’re for him. They’re not.)

...and now we’ve likely all got Katy Perry’s voice in our heads. You’re welcome.
