What if Subaru and Al where huge Arctic Monkeys fans and decided to start a band in Lugunica
What if Subaru and Al were huge Arctic Monkeys fans and started a band in
Lugunica?
Quick Scoop:
A chaotic, genre-bending, slightly anachronistic band would emerge—half street
poetry, half knight-era indie rock—powered by Subaru’s emotional volatility
and Al’s dry, veteran cynicism.
Setting the Stage: Lugunica Meets Indie Rock
Picture this: Lugunica, a fantasy kingdom with knights, spirits, and royal intrigue… suddenly gets hit with tight guitar riffs, moody lyrics, and a suspicious amount of leather jackets. Subaru Natsuki and Al (Aldebaran), both isekai’d misfits, somehow discover Arctic Monkeys–style music. Whether it’s through Subaru’s memories or some magical “otherworld artifact,” they decide:
“Yeah… we’re starting a band.”
And not just any band—a Lugunican indie rock revival movement.
The Band Concept
Name ideas (very on-brand):
- “Royal Riff Rebellion”
- “The Witch Factor Frequencies”
- “Checkpoint Static”
- “AM: Another Magic” (Subaru insists on this one)
Roles in the Band
- Subaru – Lead vocals + rhythm guitar
- Emotional, intense, occasionally unhinged stage presence
- Writes lyrics about:
- Death loops (coded as “bad nights”)
- Identity crises
- Emilia (obviously)
- Al – Lead guitar + backing vocals
- More controlled, dry humor
- Keeps Subaru from going full meltdown mid-performance
- Adds subtle technical complexity to songs
Their Sound
Core Influence: Arctic Monkeys Phases
They’d probably evolve across styles:
- Early Arctic Monkeys (Whatever People Say I Am...)
- Fast, punchy, observational lyrics
- Songs about:
- Tavern culture
- Knights showing off
- Royal gossip
- AM Era
- Darker, smoother riffs
- Subaru leans into brooding charisma
- Al introduces cleaner, hypnotic guitar tones
- Tranquility Base Vibes
- Gets weird
- Songs about:
- Witch cult philosophy
- Alternate timelines
- Existential dread in a magical world
Sample Song Concepts
- “Do You Know Me in This Loop?”
- A melancholic track about being forgotten after resets
- “Knight Shift Romance”
- A sarcastic take on Lugunican chivalry culture
- “Roswaal’s House at 3AM”
- Chaotic storytelling song with eerie undertones
- “Silver-Haired Girl in the Crowd”
- Subaru’s painfully obvious Emilia tribute
Band Dynamics (The Real Entertainment)
Subaru vs Al Energy
- Subaru:
- “We need to express raw emotion!”
- Al:
- “We need to stay on tempo.”
This contrast becomes their signature appeal.
On Stage:
- Subaru goes off-script constantly
- Al improvises to cover it up
- Audience thinks it’s intentional artistry
How Lugunica Reacts
The Nobility
- Confused but intrigued
- Some call it “avant-garde cultural disruption”
Common Folk
- Love it
- Finally something relatable beyond politics and dragons
The Royal Candidates
- Emilia: Supportive but slightly confused
- Priscilla: “Mediocre, but amusing.”
- Anastasia: Immediately sees business potential
- Crusch: Appreciates discipline (likes Al more)
Multiverse-Level Impact
If this actually happened, it would ripple hard:
-
Cultural Shift:
Music becomes a new form of storytelling in Lugunica -
Subaru’s Growth:
Music becomes therapy (and healthier than dying repeatedly) -
Al’s Arc:
Gains a creative outlet beyond survival and sarcasm
Forum-Style Take
“Lowkey, Subaru would absolutely write lyrics like early Alex Turner but with way more trauma baked in.”
“Al carrying the band musically while Subaru carries it emotionally is such a perfect dynamic.”
“Roswaal funding their tour just to see what happens feels canon.”
Final Thought
This band wouldn’t just be a gimmick—it would actually work.
Messy, emotional, slightly out of place… but unforgettable. Subaru brings the
chaos.
Al brings the control.
Together, they accidentally reinvent indie rock in a fantasy kingdom.
TL;DR
- Subaru + Al start an Arctic Monkeys–inspired band in Lugunica
- Subaru = emotional frontman; Al = grounded guitarist
- Music blends tavern life, trauma, and royal politics
- Lugunica becomes unexpectedly obsessed
- It somehow turns into both therapy and cultural revolution
