Media that inspires me, media that helps me write Part two
Here’s part two of what media inspires me to write. I believe that music is one of the most powerful and deeply rooted creations that has helped improve memory, cognitive ability and overall, I feel music has a intensely healing quality that other media does not. Here is a list of music and songs that I find inspiration in and has helped me in many ways. All genres, all types. I have part one here and it’s about TV shows and films. I might have some videos in between the description so you can listen to it.

Media that inspires me, media that helps me write

Here’s an expansive collection of all media that inspired me, including movies and TV. I’ll just have a short description as to why. If you want to make a similar list, definitely link it in my comments.

I am Bexley chap 25 “Heavy”. Top Story - July 2025.
We had a moment. She asked me about true love. “So? Spill. I need to know. How did you know?” Emma says to me. It’s a moment of quiet after the storm. All of us have been in a heated debate of whether we should go home to heal Asher or go to talk to some of the higher members of the zombie elite. So far, there hasn’t been any sort of conclusion to everyone’s bickering. Stan and I don’t agree. He is my husband—-it saddens me that we’re not on the same page. He wanted to go home. I wanted to talk to the elite to get negotiations started. It’s not that I didn’t think going home to Asher wasn’t important—-it was. I just felt this heavy weight cross over me thinking about all the poor souls and undead needing help and better shelter, equal rights and a better life/unlife.

I am Bexley chap 24 “thumbs up”
My father was a stern man who taught me to hate zombies with a venom I never quite understood. Yes, I understood distrusting them and having resentful feelings as humans were treated like second class citizens. It felt as if we were all living in an undead world, a kafkaesque nightmare that only seemed to be going on for its own twisted sake. The bureaucracy of its madness only tightnened its hold on my father. Strict rules set for humans, like only being allowed to get food, materials and other supplies every three days and only at dusk, weathered down my family’s tolerance for zombie rule. There were so many laws and rules that made living with the undead worse than actual death. It was insane to me that humans got it so hard and zombies had it so easy.

“Does this gem heal? Like really heal bad things?” Hudson asked the new Bloodletter. His name is Amory. “It’s an Aurora crystal, and I have a clear quartz. I’m giving it to you. Take it or leave it,” Amory signed back, shrugging.
