NaNo Soundtrack

Alright, so my NaNo is only fanfiction, but really, it doesn't matter, because I need MUSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC.

So. Here's the thing. I'm writing Avenger MCU/AU X-Men 616 fanfiction.

This means, I need Tony Stark music (I already have:

- Iron Man 1&2 soundtracks
- Avengers Soundtrack
- Thor soundtrack
- Hulk Soundtrack)

And Jubilee music. The best way to describe Jubilee:

Jubilation is the arrogant, self-centered, impulsive, indulged, spoiled only child.

Sometimes, those are her good points. Most of the time, she isn’t self-aware enough to rein it in, though, she does try. Well, at least when it’s pointed out to her.

Most of her arrogance surrounds her gymnastics. She knows how good she is. She’s been told by not only her friends and coaches, but by complete strangers and a few opposing coaches who tried to lure her to their gyms. But, when she sees someone better than herself? She doesn’t get angry. Instead, she gets determined. She starts taping them. She starts studying everything they do. She tries to mimic them. She will surpass them.

She was the apple of her parents’ eyes. She never wants to disappoint them. This often leads to her steamrolling people in an effort, not only to make herself shine, but to do it better/faster/whatever than anyone else. Her parents need to be proud of her.

Being an only child, among a peer group of only children, Jubilation was given almost everything she wanted. She still has that (living off her parents’ estate). She just doesn’t understand the concept of a budget, or waiting or saving or anything like that. Why should she? She has the money, so she will go buy it now. An afternoon at the mall? Someone drive her right now. What is public transportation? She’s from LA. No one uses public transportation. Haven’t you ever seen Speed?

However, Jubilation is also that friend that will say “Let’s hang out” and somehow, the group ends up Disneyland riding the teacups. She often gets distracted by something new and shiny. One time, her mother described her as “a rabbit on speed with attention deficit disorder”. She collects new interests about as often as she changes her underwear.

All those things do not mean that she isn’t caring, kind, gentle, welcoming and friendly.

She loves cheering people up and seeing them smile. She likes hearing a friend laugh and will be sometimes pushed to ridiculous lengths to do it. Seeing a friend sad seems almost like a personal failure for her.

Jubilation is expressive about her feelings. She has no sense of personal space and often shows her affection by hanging on, draping over, or hugging her friends. She’ll grab an arm and tug them along. Most of the time, she’s got a bright smile and is the first to greet a newbie.

She’s socially exuberant, and almost morbidly curious. She’ll ask personal questions, but doesn’t get offended if folks don’t want to answer her. Conversely, she’s a little quiet about her home life, though she’ll wax on and on and on about shopping or the team.

Jubilation also is not shy. In an form of the word. She just isn't. She hates tan lines, and sunbathes nude. It's a bone of contention between her and her coach - especially after she started living with him. She loves sunbathing nude, and will do so at every opportunity she gets.

Fitting in to a group is easy for her. She wedges herself in there, and somehow just melds into the group. She leads, she doesn’t follow. It gets her into just as much trouble as it seems.

The other thing that gets her into trouble is her temper. It’s usually a flash in the pan. Much like her powers, she’ll get angry/hurt and be over it very quickly. There are a few exceptions to this, but they’re few and far between.

For all her faults, though, Jubilation is a good kid. She tries, but she’s got rough edges that need smoothed out. But what kid doesn’t?

Also: She explodes things with her powers. EXPLODES THINGS OKAY?

So, gimme your recommendations! ALL OF THEM! Yay music!
