Soulmate AU where instead of a countdown or whatever on their arm, it says what song the other is listening to.

IDEAS:

-People with deaf soulmates are really confused for a bit and they then try to think of all the different reasons they don’t listen to music ever.
-People who were born deaf being confused because they’ve never heard music/have only heard the bass line.
-People who became deaf after an accident/infection/other smile because that was their favorite song and it’s nice that their soulmate listened to it.
-People get screamo music and are really turned off until they try to listen to some and find out they rather enjoy it.
-People have classical music and the titles are really long. (“They’re listening to ALL of Vivialdi’s Four Seasons! It’s been an hour already!”)
-People who have recordings of poetry or books on their arms.
-People have songs in other languages on their arm. (They learn the language for their soulmate.)

This is a very good prompt and I’ve come up with a few more possible applications for it:

• “On an ethical level, I don’t think I can let myself date someone who still listens to Caramelldansen in 2017.”
• Someone who isn’t into memes is getting really uncomfortable that their soulmate listens to so much music from LazyTown.
• An aro person learns they have a soulmate, and starts listening to the worst music they can think of in order to drive this person away. Later they find out their soulmate is platonic, and they realize they have some explaining to do.
• Music is defined as “whatever your soulmate thinks music is”. So these two people meet for the first time and get into a really heated debate over whether or not [insert avant-garde artist here] qualifies as music.
• “Either my soulmate is someone else who just happens to listen to the exact same music you do, or you don’t think my guitar playing counts as music.”
• A fan of Yes gets really excited that their soulmate listens to Roundabout so often, but can’t figure out why they never play the whole song.
• You need to wear long sleeves in public because your soulmate listens to stuff with really questionable titles.
