[daenystheedreamer]

OH for the ship grid: i had time on my day off and wanted to see what the most popular gay ships on asoiaf ao3 are (so what is popular when you exclude m/f tags and ships) so the following ten for the meme: aemond/lucerys, alicent/rhaenyra, theon/robb, sansa/margaery, theon/ramsay, renly/loras, jon/robb, aegon ii/jacaerys, tormund/jon, sansa/daenerys can’t wait to see where u place these, peace&love 🫶

HERE MY FRIEND again the makes sense axis is a combo of 'does it make sense in canon' and 'do i understand why people ship it' so if it looks a bit weird thats why 🫶 ship discussions udner the cut mwah

aemond lucerys.... look i get it. i do get it. 1) urge for yaoi 2) there are crumbs you can bake 3) cute actors. i understand. im deep in the yaoi trenches i understand seme uke i get it i get it. but also the idea its like Canon or an accurate reading of either character is soo...... lucerys is not a femme fatale or an ingenue. he is a plot device. and aemond.... aemond's 'obsession' with lucerys is more one bred from insecurity as opposed to yaoi lust. but i do get it. one love to the lucemond people. wish u guys would be normal about the UNDERAGE luke actor. he's an adult now but can we not do countdown shit. weird as hell...

rhaenicent #1 its literally canon. its subtext its textual its openly a part of the narrative. the complex web of sexuality, womanhood and patriarchy that seeps rhaenicent is so compelling. alicent as a lesbian and rhaenyra as a butch/lesbian/bisexual/trans/dragongender are genuinely compelling analyses of the characters. #1 foreva

im normal about throbb now<3 i think in canon the theon bisexual analysis is interesting but not super vital to his character. his sexuality and manhood certainly, but i like throbb more cos i like theon rather than on its own merits.

sansaery ❤️ i enjoy sansaery as a way to explore sansa's character and specifically her as a lesbian. both characters are fun and interesting but its high up cos it has a special place in my heart<3

im not really into thramsay i have no thoughts on it. one love to the thramsays though u guys are warriors. i think it has wayyy more sub/textual basis in canon than throbb

renloras is just canon so i dont have much thoughts on it. its sweet! make me sad. rip babes loras you would have loved gymbro culture.

jonrobb is meh to me idk 🤷‍♀️ theyre fine as brothers and there's not much analysis to be had of their relationship beyond that. one love to the brocons ig. cousincons

aegon x jace is beyond nothing to me sorry 😭 but thats mostly cos im not super into the dance or hotd beyond rhaenicent. i get why it exists but there's little to no basis in canon to bake nor does it have much analysis. one love to the jacegons of course

JONMUND... okay book jonmund is meh whatever but show jonmund is real to me. jon post canon is operating a cozy bed and breakfast with tormund in alaska beyond the wall. one of my fave crackships. he's kissed by fire!

daensa🍋❤️ i love u daensa. very important to my bi!dany and lezzo!sansa thoughts. song of ice and fire 🫶

[la-pheacienne]

so i have to go to work soon and am feeling quite scatterbrained so im sorry if this doesn't feel coherent. But I've been thinking for the last couple days about Elia Martell.

I understand that Elia Martell is supposed to be dead. that her narrative role is to be dead. but i keep wondering about if she had lived. (i have severe difficulty believing that Tywin actually wanted her to live, despite his "regret" over the Mountains actions. i think his regret literally comes from the fact that Dorne is a pian in his ass and not because of anything ehtical or even Strategic*)

*how would it have been strategic to let the princess consort of the previous regime live and go back home after killing her husband and her children? she would probably have been a political hostage tbh, to ensure Dorne's behavior, forcibly remarried by whomever Tywin chose. have no idea who that would be tho. but thats besides the point.

to be honest, I'm too scatterbrained to get all my thoughts in order, but if Elia had lived (and was aloowed to go back home), I have genuine doubts that Dorne would have enacted the same type of long lasting revenge that they do in canon. probably Doran and Oberyn would want the Mountain dead, and Tywin as well, but in this case their sister is actually "alive and well" and while children are precious, at least they have their sister back with them safe. and of course, probably Elia probably would be "broken" in this case. little more than someone wracked by grief. (tho maybe not. proably suicidal, or maybe the fact that shed be grief stricken, "broken" would drive them to revenge)

anyway, if Elia was going to live, i keep thinking that shed very likely become hard, after being the woman of sweet wit once. and I dont know, but if she wanted revenge, would Dorne really help her get it? i know that mysoginy is real, and Westeros seems to have a hard time allowing women to get their own revenge. I dont doubt the depth of Oberyns feelings, but its been almost fifteen years and its clear that he put Elia on a pedestal, (probably seeing the real woman would be truly difficult for him) and Doran clearly wants political vengeance in the story.

GRRM said that Elia and Rhaegar had a complicated relationship, and it seems to me that She probably loved Him more than He loved her. so its questionable whether she would want revenge on purely on his behalf, which would lead to very complicated feelings of vengeance and scorn intermixed, naturally.

probably shed be a heavier inspiration to Arriane, if Elia wanted revenge against Robert but her brothers dont exactly listen, with Oberyn wanting the glory of the act and Doran's never ending patience.

I wont lie, i couldn't help think on this because i Know that the Stansas tend to wrack Elia Martell's description like a corpse doll for whatever shit they're snorting atm, but i think that if Elia had lived, theres a small chance that she would want to go to Daenerys.

Daenerys fitting the description of the Prince that Was Promised- which Elia would probably know about since Rhaegar told her the song title-and also bringing Dragons Back, which probably Rhaegar spoke pf repeatedly.

I dont think Elia would feel only scorn for Rhaegar, even his actions probably hurt her a lot, especially because over the years she too would, alos view him through a lenses of grief. but i think that if Elia knew that Daenerys seems to be the one Rhaegar was waiting for, she'd want to be at her good sisters side, either for vengeance, or because she too, wanted to see the dream of spring-the hope- that no doubt Rhaegar had shared with her.

what do you think?

So, thank you for asking my opinion on this, but this is really not my thing. I believe I'm fairly good at analysing written text, but I am not good at speculation and imagining alternative endings and what ifs. Maybe you should adress this question to someone in this fandom who writes fanfiction or generally likes speculation, AUs, etc. I will tag @ladyalianora for a pro-Rhaegar approach and @alethiaii for a not so pro-Rhaegar approach.

Having said that speculation is not my thing, I don't really know what would have happened if she had lived, cause she died, and her death is a pretty important part of the story and definitely the most important part of her story. But if i want to speculate, Elia surviving without her children in my opinion wouldn't have changed things so drastically. Her house would still want revenge over the dead children. It is not only Elia that would want revenge as you say, it's her entire house, and in my personal opinion, in universe, I think the children were actually more important than Elia herself for the house Martell. Not for her brother maybe, but for the house and the legacy of Dorne, the children are the most important. Let's be real. These children were Martell children and they were the heirs to the throne, they were supposed to succeed their father and grandfather and they would have if Baratheons and Lannisters hadn't killed them. This new order of things didn't just erase Targaryens, it erased Martells as well and the power they held because of their affiliation to the Targaryens. Yes Rhaegar left Elia but her children were always going to be the Targaryen heirs and nothing in the world would change that. It's Robert and the Lannisters that killed them and usurped their father so for Dorne they will always be the actual enemy, always. Plus they would really dislike the Starks because of their alliance with them and because of Lyanna, realistically.

So yeah Dorne would definitely want to avenge the children.

As for Elia, she would be a shadow of her former self, abandonned by her husband who is now dead, and with her children killed. Her attitude towards Rhaegar would be really complex cause he did abandon her but at the same time, strangely, tragically, her interests were tied to him, his death was the catalyst for the death of her children. She would definitely had mixed feelings, bitterness, betrayal, scorn possibly, she would definitely accuse him for being the cause of this entire rebellion but at the same time she would, I believe, feel intense grief over his death and usurpation. As GRRM said, their relationship was complicated, I personally believe there was some sort of understanding between them before he left, there was some sort of closure, cause I believe this possibility is way more in tune with Rhaegar's canon characterization. They were in an arranged marriage after all, it was a marriage of duty. But I'm 100% biased in Rhaegar's favour so maybe you don't agree. Also her negative feelings for Rhaegar would be largely covered by the disgust she would obviously feel for anyone involved in the new regime, the Lannisters, the Baratheons and the Starks.

To sum it up, her mental state would be very interesting to write, very complicated and tragic, just an endless sea of grief and disgust directed towards many different people, her husband, and his usurpers. An Andromache type of character.

As for her attitude towards Dany, I really don't know cause I never thought about this. Maybe she would go to her maybe not. I feel that Dany would be the one to go to Elia and not the other way round. Dany would absolutely want to meet her and talk to her, she would be the only hint of family she has left after all and they could have a connection over their common loss of their families at the end of the Rebellion.

"Daenerys fitting the description of the Prince that Was Promised- which Elia would probably know about since Rhaegar told her the song title-and also bringing Dragons Back, which probably Rhaegar spoke pf repeatedly". Now I do believe it is a possibility that Rhaegar had shared with Elia the prophecy but I am not so sure. Maybe he was very solitary in his visions. And also I don't believe he spoke repeatedly of bringing the Dragons back. I actually don't buy this and I think the fandom has severely misinterpreted his "obsession" with the prophecy. The line "the dragon has to have three heads" was spoken in Dany's dream and it was spoken to Dany. Rhaegar in the dream looked directly at Dany when he said that, and as we know, Dany was most definitely not present in the real scene, if we supposed it was real (it wasn't). It was Dany's vision, not Rhaegar's. All we know about Rhaegar himself was Aemon saying :

"He shared my belief when he was young, but later he became persuaded that it was his own son who fulfilled the prophecy, for a comet had been seen above King’s Landing on the night Aegon was conceived, and Rhaegar was certain the bleeding star had to be a comet".

That's it. He first believed he was TPTWP and then he believed his son was TPTWP. Period. So I really do not get how we concluded from this that Rhaegar was obsessed with having three children and that he even talked about it all the time. All this comes from Dany's vision, where Rhaegar was talking to her. And this theory is directly promoted by Targ antis who believe the Targs are just a bunch of self aggrandising assholes starting with Dany herself.

So no at this point I don't vibe with what you say. I do believe, however, that Elia would recognise Rhaegar's visionary and idealistic personality in Dany, along with other specific traits, and she would probably believe that Dany may be able to achieve what he did not.

[bluewinnerangel]

right back at ya cowboy

Omg ella I'm so sorry I was gonna do this "later" and then it got buried. OK. I clicked. EDIT: I JUST FOUND THIS IN MY DRAFTS IM DOUBLE SORRY lol imma expose my ramble draft

[So in case someone's reading this thinking ???? we sometimes throw a spinning wheel of songs at each other and then just go rambling yelling analysing whatever it gives back. I've kept track with this tag, feel free to copy any of them wheels links and go off or bug someone with it actually pls do]

Oh you mean that song I for some reason like some total idiot put on first thing in the morning and just bawl my eyes out, you know when its so early you're just so vulnerable and everything feels raw and there's no thoughts just something primal happens and it's me drowning myself in this song and then the day can start I guess am I fine nobody knows. It's now my Saturday morning ritual where before coffee I see some sun and I just bawl there's something therapeutic about it. I'd recommend it. Just some sun some coffee brewin some confused pet wondering if you're OK yeah.

Anyway. The song I can place extremely easily in like "1d ended and it sucked" context, but it works with a lot. whatever I can think of him, or anyone, writing about, whatever it means to me. (general Louis' songwriting ramble incoming:) I'm looking at FITF differently compared to Walls and previous work and he's approached it differently, I feel like what he's been saying about his discography fits that as well. I think (this is a mash of what i think to hear in his lyrics and in interviews, so heavy paraphrasing:) before he had this idea he should be writing where the whole thing makes sense to be about this one situation/idea and it has to be about him too and sure perhaps a context might have been written around it, but i think in the past hes been pretty perfectionist on having every single line fit the thing he was thinking of what that song is, and now thats no longer the case. Now it's whatever works, whatever hits, feels, does it. It doesn't matter one thought/situation flows into another.

I guess that was a long rambley way of saying I wanna do line by line lyric analyses of his stuff but I don't know how to make that work as it did previously, for me at least. But on the other by temporarily running with one interpretation and seeing what you can find in the lines can really help see more angles, bring more depth to the line, and consider other meanings and stuff so.. idk not much wrong with it. I wanna do that too I think. This is I guess A Promise I'll do a Holding On To Heartache lyric breakdown. At Some Point. :D

But I think his choices of words and soundscapes and perhaps all them being little references are just wonderful. I cherish it so much. I'm slightly afraid he did the same in Perfect Now (like after seeing a web of possible perfect now lyrical referencing that song did become one of my favs as I love that idea like it gives so much more body depth meaning whatever to a song to me even if not on purpose lol its not even relevant at that point anymore anyway) and long term didn't value it much so now I'm afraid my new little more poppy fav will be his new neglected child but time will tell. Just... have an itch. Rip. EDIT yeah that itch got worse because of the track by track we got now.. it's got that bit about HOTH being a poppy one and the way he's talking about it sigh i feel him but sigh also hes sigh i dont wannt start that discourse over that shit so no. but itch. I uh... luckily don't let how I interpret his reactions to his own songs affect the way I feel about his own songs haha brainpayne this.

ok ok ok last ramble it sounds so fucking liquid? so wet?? how do I explain this why does it sound w e t EDIT: help me he said the sound is like a guitar under water like he's drowning it's flooding we're in a puddle of tears this song, it's what makes me bawl I think, because the song sounds like bawling, and your cheeks are puffed up and we,t and you find a moment of quiet and stare up at the sky with your wet lashes exhausted defeated but you're still here you're still breathing. Also the bridge with the "space between us just comes FLOODING back" at the end of it, it's not the bit that hits the hardest in an obvious way, instead it kinda gets overlooked a way, theres no moment to sit and waddle in the SHIT FLOODING BACK RIGHT THERE it just goes right into the quiet bit again,there's no time given to recover from getting crushed by the wavesm and it just does something to me... I can't leave that bit as the little end of a big thought it sounds like, but the way its sung... time just keeps ticking and we're at the end. I'm almost sure that wasn't intentional and like @ me why focus on this of all the overwhelm that's in this song, but that just feels like a reflection of the feeling I get from this song, you're just fucking sitting there in the middle of this overwhelming ache these waves of hurt and shit just moves on and youre just there stuck there with but i wasn't done? But I guess I should be? Like there's no room for me drowning in this even more but I feel like I need to still?

ramble out.

[phoneybeatlemania-bit-the-dust]

I’d disagree with the anon that Paul was “incapable” of love, but I do agree he was very distanced, and pretty cruel (to women) when he was younger. (It was unfortunate they bought into the love at first sight myth, but he was also a charmer, and dropped affection and got colder after fucking them.)

But I just can’t see romantic interest on Paul’s end. I’m sure he loved John, but a lot of the “sexual/Romantic evidence” really can just be as construed as platonic love. I feel there may be some confirmation bias looking for “clues”. (Not an attack on anyone, but some of the analysises seem to try too hard, really).

He does make references, with the whole “calling him babe during concerts”, and “in bed” but that could just mean he’s not uncomfortable with coming off “gay”. He has a quote about it somewhere I think. He’s supportive of the community at any rate.

This is kind of my own bias, but at times I think he…plays it up a little during the present day? Again, I’m positive he did love John a lot, but with how he is, a charmer, good at manipulating his image, he knows there is a benefit to building up the “magical” Lennon McCartney dynamic. John’s dead, and the old conflicts have faded, so he has no reason not to. I don’t think he’s anti-social, or a psycho or anything, but he certainly does put a lot of thought into his image, especially now, with how he wants to leave his legacy.

I’m less knowledgeable about John, and the speculation about his mental illnesses, but on his end, I can certainly see it. Maybe he’s just blind, but the looks are very much…yeah. He does seem to rely Paul a lot, and hold him in very high regard (REGARDLESS of what those old male biographers might make of him). You just know he was suffering over Paul, poor bastard.

Not sure if anything happened. I think Paul knew though, and either ignored it, or was kind, knowing John wouldn’t act on it. OR he didn’t notice! With the whole “we shared beds A LOT. you would think he’d make a pass at me, darling~”

I guess that’s how I see it. I don’t really have strong feelings on the nature of their relationship, or want them to be “confirmed”, so I try to be as objective as possible! Not a shipper, but not a male biographer. In fact, I was very put off learning the ship was a thing at first! With every fan base “having to” ship the main male leads, that’s what I thought this was. But after three years, reading actual books, primary stuff, I’ve began to change my mind on its legitimacy, and this was my conclusion. But new information can always change!

(Sorry for the long long analysis, god! I just took my adderall and I should go eat! Feel free to block me for spam/harassment.)

Yeah, this is basically my big mclennon dilemma: did Paul love John?

Of course he loved him, but I mean did he harbour any homosexual feelings towards John - and I just go back and fourth on that a lot.

In my last response to an anon I wasn’t necessarily trying to argue that Paul was romantically/sexually attached to John, because all in all, I don’t believe he did - but it probably came off that way because I didn’t particularly like the way the anon had phrased some stuff (like calling him “a master manipulator” and “incapable of love”) and so I just sort of wanted to show that the relationship was more nuanced then just “john was simping for paul”. My overall point with that response was more so that whilst I think Paul struggles in showing real affection and emotions, I don’t think he was incapable of love prior to Linda. I think he did really love John (in whichever form of love you want to take it: romantically, platonically etc.)

And so my point I guess wasnt so much that Paul was always capable of love (because I think he did at least love his family, his close-friends, probably Jane etc.), but maybe more so that he was always capable of intimacy with another person, though he struggled with it.

But yeah, he was quite cruel to a lot of the girls he slept with in the 60s, but I wouldn’t say that suggests he was incapable of love (i know thats not what you’re saying but other people might interpret it through that lens) I would just say he was young, dumb, ridiculously rich and famous and not emotionally mature enough yet to really empathise with most of those girls. Not trying to completely excuse him, but like, i dunno, i always just try to view people from the most human perspective. Everyones an twat sometimes yknow

I also really struggle to see romance on Pauls behalf towards John - the only times I think “wait but maybe he did fancy john back” is when I read some of his lyrics (like in ‘Coming Up’, ‘Yvonne’s The One’, and to some extent ‘Here Today’ - though I think interpreting Here Today as strictly platonic love is still a valid interpretation). I mentioned this in a different post though, that analysing his lyrics just isnt particularly convincing for me, because it feels more like speculation - and also as someone who does write songs, I know that a lot of lyrics just arent as deep as we wish they were. It is really difficult to be truly introspective and honest in a song, without exaggerating or hyperbolising or fictionalising any autobiographical aspects.

I do see your point with Paul possibly playing up the “Lennon/McCartney m a g i c” - im not entirely sure how much I agree, but I do agree to some extent. I think he’s always been very image conscious, and being in what is probably the all-time most famous pop band definitely wouldve heightened that. Even as a teenager I think he’s always just had this natural charm about him, and that tends to stem I guess from a need to be liked; I think you can see it in every interview he’s ever done to be honest. Its not necessarily a bad thing, (because id take a charmer over a rude knobhead any day) but I guess it sort of just shows that Paul is flawed like everybody else. Also, just read @mothernatures-sons tags and I agree with her - Paul just knows when to be a nice person! Nothing wrong with that! It isnt manipulative like the last anon suggested, its just how most people are: polite :) Ive heard a lot of anecdotes from people who have worked with or met Paul and the majority of them say he was a just a nice guy. Not saying he was never an arsehole (cause yeah he was pretty cruel to those girls in the 60s) but I think overall, hes a pretty good guy 👍

On the other hand though, you could also say that superficial journalists are looking for superficial answers - and Paul knows what the people want to hear. But occasionally ill hear an interview that does seem more intimate then most - I havent listened to it in awhile, but the interview he did with Sean I remember felt more honest to me then most. And when he said he’d like to spend the day “in bed” with John, to me that felt like a genuine and fitting response. Because, whilst it has sexual connotations, it also just feels like he’s saying he’d just like to sit around, chat, dont chat, just whatever with John for a day. Like he would just like another moment of intimacy with him.

I think we are pretty much in agreement on most of this though! At first I was also like “nah, mclennon isnt real, teenage girls just love shipping guys!” (I am a teenaged girl and I can confirm this lol) but then it just sort of became apparent to me through reading more and more about their relationship that there probably was something more on Johns behalf. If John wasnt in love with Paul, then it feels as though a lot of things he said and did just dont add up (the big one for me is him marrying Yoko so soon after Paul married Linda - like I really cannot come up with a heterosexual explanation for that!)

But when it comes to Paul, though ill have moments of doubt, I dont think he was in love with John (homosexually) and I do think a lot of the evidence on Pauls behalf seems like a stretch (but like you, im not having a go at anyone, because I understand that it is easy to carried away, plus its fun - but realistically, most of Pauls evidence just is not convincing to me). He’s comfortable with his sexuality, and I really do try to respect that and not force a gay interpretation of quotes or songs from him, unless it is genuinely making me question his sexuality and mclennon.

PS dont worry, I didn’t take this is spam at all!! And also, I would never block someone just for disagreeing with me! I enjoy discussion and I think its good to engage with people who disagree with you! To be honest, id only block someone if they were purposely being a real arsehole <3

birthday: 4/10, but sometimes i say 4/13 because thats two unlucky numbers in one birthday

nationality: american

fave bands/groups/solo artists: Hozier, Florence and the Machine, Mitsuki, Liu Chang are the ones that come to mind right now. There’s more, but those tent to be the artists I come back to a lot. Neutral Milk Hotel is old and gone and only listened to when the mood is right

song stuck in your head: Highland cathedral because of a tiktok atm. A bunch of people sang different notes and layered on top of each other to sound like bagpipes. It was pretty awesome.

last movie you watched:Rurouni Kenshin! The 2012 live action movie!! Currently one of the organizers for a weekly watch party that happens in the dmbj discord server. Its been a lot of fun watching movies with everyone there every week!!!

last show you binged: Does Moonfall Echo count? I technically binged it, but the whole series is also like a hour a most and I watched half of it on my lunch break today

when you created your blog: some time in early 2012 i think?

the last thing you googled:月陨回声 - would it surprise anyone to know that thats the original Chinese title for Moonfall Echo? No? No one? ok….

other blogs: twoscats. I sent all the cute animal things there and then watch them on worse days.

why i chose my url: I was young and knew that i liked music and that my favorite element was air. One day the winds of song came into my head and it has been my online handle ever since.

how many people are you following: 140 which is actually a lot for me. I should go through and do some pruning… I usually keep it down to around 100. I curate my tumblr experience a lot and I credit it to being the reason why its been as positive as it has been.

how many followers do you have: 675, but my blog is also suuuuuper old so the majority of them are probably inactive blogs that are just hanging around.

average hours of sleep:6-7. I’ve tried to sleep more than that but it just doens’t happen easily. I tent to wake up super early and have a hard time falling asleep again

I think I’m doing close to the next best thing which is working from home atm tho.

dream trip: all expense paid trip across japan during a non busy season. My Japanese is bad and suuupeer informal because I absorbed it all from watching 15ish years of anime, but it's workable.

fave food: right now the first thing that comes to mind is a great breakfast sandwich.

top three fictional universe you'd like to live in: star trek times? Where capitalism has been abolished and things are pretty great? Ummmmm beyond that, maybe Natsume Yuujincho universe because interesting things can happen, but they aren’t world ending. Spirits exist and sometimes they form heartbreaking connections to mortals, but they're still so beautiful! Third might be idk, dmbj world so long as I never enter a tomb? Hearing about Wu Xie’s disastrous adventures could be fun

last song: That wasn’t the tiktok one? Probably Golden Sands sung by Liu Chang

last stream: I watched a bit of Liu Chang’s 4/28 stream that got uploaded to youtube. I do not have a problem, don’t judge me.

currently reading: Cats Paw by Merinnan & xantissa for like the 16th time. I don’t really read books and i’ve never really taken the time to examine why, but with fics like theirs, I never really saw a reason to try and go into reading random books that I don’t know or characters that I don’t already have a connection to.

currently watching: Moonfall Echo. I’ll probably be rewatching it a few times because I can. Its so weird. I don’t understand how they’re actually making this work with everything else? And apparently A Chinese Ghost Story is a part of this somehow?

what is antipoetry to you: Absolutely no idea. I had to analyse a bunch of poetry back in high school, but that was a long time ago. Is antipoetry just prose?

currently craving: takoyaki lowkey allllllllll the damn time. I actually have a takoyaki pan, but making takoyaki takes so much work. I usually just make pancake balls and drench them in syrup.

#some more random about me things #yes i'm high key obsessed with liu chang #its not a problem yet because i haven't figured out how to send all my money to him

Julie and the Phantoms Theory

Wow so I just binged watched julie and the phantoms on netflix and this show is amazing, like really really fantastic. It is aimed at a younger audience than most of the series I watch but it really doesn’t matter, I do think this is a show that any age group can enjoy. The music in it is so so good and I’ve been listening to the songs on replay non stop. Also have two new ships I am obsessed with Juke and Willex. If you haven’t seen the show it is defo one I would recommend. However despite watching the whole season I have soo many questions that need answering and well anyone who has read any of my posts ever know how much I love to over analyse and obsess/ theorise about tv shows. The rest I am going to put under the tag because of spoilers so if you want to hear some thoeries/ analysis then read on, but I should warn you I am going to be talking about the sensitive topics of death and bereavement so only do so if you feel comfortable. 

 So one of the biggest questions I have is regarding the deaths of Alex, Luke and Reggie. Now I know that they die from eating bad street hotdogs and I know alot of the reason why they die that way is for the comedy aspect of it. I mean one of the many things this show did really well was balancing the comedy aspects with the emotional aspects. I appreciate that as the audience we are suppose to just accept this somewhat wacky death and go with it but well thats just not me and I kept wondering what exactly was wrong with the hotdogs that it actually killed them. Some things about it just don’t add up and I hate not knowing the answers so here are some theories I have, some more outlandish than others. 

Theory 1- Food Posioning (Honestly this isn’t really a theory but lets just go with it)

My first thought when I first watched it is the most obvious one which is they got food poisoning. I mean the place they got the hotdogs from didn’t look the most sanitary. However here’s the part that doesn’t add up for me and that is how quickly they died. We know from Alex’s comment to Willy in episode 8 that they were two hours away from going on stage the night they died. This means they had to have started showing symptoms within those two hours before the show which lead to the ambulance being called. In the first episode Reggie says that after they floated out of the ambulance they went to a dark room. The part that caught my attention here is the line about the ambulance as this tells us that they died in the ambulance before they ever got to the hospital. Now I don’t know how far away the hotdog place was from The Orpheum but I’m assuming it was fairly close considering how important the show was to them, I personally wouldn’t go too far from the venue if I had a big show in just a couple of hours.  According to my google search the nearest hospital to The Orpheum is Diginity Health California Hospital Medical Center. This hospital is only 5 mins away from The Orpheum, obviously I know this time would be effected by traffic amongst other factors but the point is the time between ingesting the hotdogs and them dying was relatively short. Which makes it unlikely that they died from food posioning. Whilst food poisoning can kill its very rare and usually takes a lot longer than a few hours I mean ordinarily it takes days. So the likelihood that all three of them would have been killed by food posioning that quickly is actually slim to none.

Theory 2- It was Premeditated.  

My next theory is much much darker and definitely more out there. It also depends on how dark they plan to go with Bobby/Trevor’s character. But we know that Bobby stays behind and doesn’t go for hotdog’s claiming to be a vegetarian (which was a lie), he also seems to be pretty eager for the other three to go. Now in the scene it seems like the reason for this is so he can be alone to filrt with Rose but what if Bobby had more sinister plans what if he had some hand in the boys’ deaths and had actually posioned them or arranged for them to be poisoned. Maybe he always planned to steal Luke’s songs and take all the credit, fame and money for himself. When Julie looks up Sunset Curve on her phone you can get a glimpse at the article she reads. In the article it says ‘There was a surviving band member, Bobby, but no one has been able to track him down...’ This article seems to have been written about a week after the night they died which shows that Bobby went under the radar pretty quickly after his bandmates died. Now again this could be explained away as Bobby grieving and wanting to stay out of the spotlight as he worked through that and that him stealing the songs was a more opportunistic act than him premeditating his bandmates murders. 

Another possible variant of this theory is that it was still an orchestrated death but it wasn’t Bobby who wanted the boys dead but Caleb. During that opening scene they were still alive and we know normally lifers can’t see ghosts so for all we know Caleb could have seen them perform and had decided then that he wanted them as his house band, he didn’t want to wait for them to die so he took matters into his own hands. We assume that the first time Caleb hears about the band is from Willie but there was that scene from the first episode where he bumps into Alex and to me it almost seems like he recognises the group. Also I don’t think its a coincidence that he bumps into them right outside The Orpheum. It could be that he knew they would show up as ghosts at some point and figured they would go back to The Orpheum when they did and so would sometimes patrol that area just waiting for them. It could also explain why he’s willing to let Willie skate around the streets of LA maybe he was hoping Willie would do exactly would he did and bump into one of the boys whether Willie was aware of this plan is a whole other kettle of fish I feel like most likely he wouldn’t have because I feel like he would have told them Caleb had sent him to find them when he told them about the jolts. Point is the whole thing could have been one big elaborate plan of Caleb’s to get the band for himself, his obsession with the band could have been bigger than what we were shown in the first season. 

The last variant of this theory could be a mixture of the previous two. Maybe it was an elaborate plan made by Caleb but with the help of Bobby. Maybe Bobby made a deal with the devil so to speak and in exchange for fortune and fame he gave up his bandmates. Maybe he even gave up his own soul too but he gets to live out his dream life first. We know through Willy that Caleb has made deals with lifers that are part of the Hollywood Ghost Club so it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to think he could’ve made a deal with Bobby. 

To be honest I’m not completely sold on this theory purely because the show is aimed at a younger audience and although it does cover some mature themes around death and bereavement I think murder might be a little too dark for its target audience. But then on the other hand they did have that storyline of Caleb trying to destroy the boys with those jolts so maybe I’m wrong.

Theory 3- The Car Battery. 

Ok so this theory I think is the most likely out of them all. When you think about what we know about the boys death and the timeline its that 1) They ate hot dogs that tasted bad. 2) They obviously started to show worrying symptoms that lead to somebody calling an ambulance, these symptoms showed up in under two hours. 3) They died in the ambulance before getting to the hospital (which was approx 5 mins away). Also from the sound of it they all died around the same time, as in all of them were in the ambulance it wasn’t a case of one of them died at the scene, another in the ambulance and another in the hospital. Meaning the effect time was pretty consistent, we know that they all took the first bite at the same time. So keeping all that in mind lets look at the scene again. The first thing I want to point out is that when the boys get the hot dogs they don’t show us them actually being handed the hotdogs, when we see them they already have the hotdogs and they are at the condiments adding their pickles and sauces. This in my opinion tells us that the hazard did not occur during the cooking process but at this moment when they were getting the condiments. Also we see Alex talking about how he couldn’t wait to eat someplace where the condiments weren’t in the back of a car. This scene opens by showing us said condiments and also whilst Alex is talking focusing in on the car battery. Right after his comment about the condiments Alex goes up to the seller and apologises for getting pickle juice on his battery cables once again this draws attention to the battery and its close proximity to the food. The seller just laughs it off stating that maybe it will help with the rust. This seems like a throw away comment but it could actually be a big clue into what happened to the boys. This tells us that not only is the battery near the food but its rusting and in a bad condition and if its in a poor condition it could be leaking. Ok so why is this important to how the boys died? Well because car batteries have sulfuric acid in them. I said before that the whole food poisoning thing didn’t add up for me because generally speaking when things go wrong during the cooking process such as something being undercooked or unclean, it doesn’t tend to kill you and in the rare circumstances if it does it usually takes days to weeks; but the chances of surviving food posioning are very high. However if someone were to ingest sulfuric acid even a couple of drops could be fatal. For examble if there was any sulfuric acid in the bottom of the trunk it could have gotton onto the utensils they used or onto the bottom of the sauce bottles which could then have tranferred over to the food. 

Also sulfuric acid usually kills a person within a few hours and can start having an effect on the body pretty much immediately. The mortality rate of sulfuric acid poisoning is very high the survival rate is only around 35% which would make it much more likely that not only did they all die but that the all died around the same time after exposure. The reason why it can kill so quickly is because it can effect the airways. Also the comment the seller made about the rust could have another possible explanation because whilst a leaking battery could have contaminated the food, sulfuric acid can also be found in some anti rust treatments. So if the seller was trying to treat the rust on the battery without removing the condiments from the trunk then that too could have created an opportunity for the food to become contaminated with sulfuric acid. 

So yeah this is my best guess at how the boys died, they accidently ingested sulfuric acid that had contaminated the condiments that had been stored next to a rusted car battery. It’s tragic and more tragic than that is that although it can only take a few drops obviously the less posion a person ingests the more chance they have at surviving. We know that even though the first bite tasted weird they continued to eat the hotdogs but if they had stopped after that first bite they might have actually survived. Obviously I’m not an expert on any of this so I could be totally wrong but to me this is what makes the most sense. 

Anyway what theories do you guys have? Also what questions are you hoping to get answered if we get a season 2 (we better get a season 2 or I’m gonna be real mad)?

Is it being "delusional" for some vmin fans to think scenery,promise and 4 'o' clock are related to vmin? I particularly do not want to hyper analyse things as a shipper thats all What's your opinion on it

Hello anon and thanks for the ask. Though you are probably asking the wrong person... ^^’’’

I am that person that thinks it’s possible those songs are indeed connected to Vmin, and even though I don’t want to hyper analyze as you say that is in fact exactly what I have already done myself. 

Though of course it’s all speculation I do think there are a lot of interesting connections to be found between these songs, and in fact pretty much all Vmin’s solo songs. This doesn’t take away the greatness of the songs or mean that there can’t be other meanings behind them too of course, but again there are just a lot of interesting things that bind Vmin’s songs together.

I have written two theories that bring up some of these things, so if you are curious you can read more in my post Vmin - Scenery, Promise and song connections (also Vmin - The Sun, the Moon & The whole universe though it’s a little bit less focused on only the songs and is a bit outdated)

Also, what a great timing for this ask... I assume you might have asked in relation to Tae’s new cute song “Winter Bear”? Since it has people talking about Tae’s other songs again.

 I am so proud of Tae for getting to make more of his own songs! (Also cute with Vante being hidden in the title of Winter Bear). Also thanks to Namjoon for helping Tae again.

It’s funny because hearing Winter Bear yesterday I thought: “Well at least this song doesn’t seem to be connected to Jimin in any way.”

I thought the only possible connection was the mention of the color blue (which Tae seems to have a special liking of and which is in 4 o’clock and also Jimin’s official color and “blue mold” etc.) but it was way too random or vague to actually even talk about. 

...And then Jimin decided to post. I mean of course he would, he supports all the members solo projects. But once again it’s just a bit funny how Jimin does it and I can’t help to add this on to my own theory.

So, first he posted on weverse and used a picture from the MV of Tae yawning and labeled it with “Winter Bear”. But then he changed the post and wrote “Baby Bear” in stead. He also added a purple heart of course.

But nothing here is really that odd… Except it just so happens that Jimin posted this around 4 o’clock Korean time. But it wasn’t exactly at 4, so perhaps just a coincidence, even though they have used times to relay meaning before. But yeah, it almost looks like Jimin waited to write so long just so he could post around 4 o’ clock. Which of course is interesting if that’s the case.

Still, could just be coincidence. But as I have said in my earlier post it almost feels like Vmin wants us to connect their songs. And thought Jimin does promote other members songs as well, he usually doesn’t connect himself to them in any way. Something he has done several times now with Taehyung’s songs in various ways, and also with his own songs getting connected to Taehyung.

Tae also posted pictures from the “making of the MV” (I assume they are taken at the same place and time as when he shot parts of the video), which happens to be all in a park. Just another place which is both connected to Vmin and of course to 4 o’clock. Some other recurring themes from Tae’s other songs that we see in the MV are photography, birds, the moon and the stars. Nothing profound, but I might as well bring it up anyways since we can’t know if it’s done on purpose or not.

But the really interesting thing, and the reason I even bring any of these new things up to begin with, is Jimin tweet where he clearly connects himself to the song. It’s not congratulating Tae, it’s just a picture of himself and tagging it with “Baby Bear”. (Trying not to read into the fact that he is making a V sign.)

He also quotes Taehyung’s song lyrics with the “Say hello to me”.

I mean, it’s just interesting that Jimin does this and connects himself to the song in a very clear way, without even mentioning Tae or the song explicitly at all... Again, he doesn’t do this with the other members from what I have seen. It’s just a bit odd, and there are starting to pile up a lot of “coincidences” for Vmin and their songs. So personally I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they are doing all this on purpose. Why they would be doing it I don’t know though.

So, thanks for the ask and I hope I answered your question even though this turned out to be more of an extra little analysis for Vmin’s songs being connected. I personally don’t think there is any problem with connecting the songs to Vmin as long as you are respectful about it and know it could be wrong. We know some things are related to Vmin because it’s simply what they have said and done, but we can’t know how much of the songs are actually related to Vmin or the reason behind it. But I can’t find it being too delusional even though it’s all speculation since there are just so many things now connecting these songs that it feels weird for it all to be a coincidence. Let me know what you all think!

Stream Winter Bear everyone!

EDIT! WTF, while I wrote this I got a notification for a vlive named “Say hello to me” and I was certain Tae was going to talk about the song, and then it was Jimin. Why are they doing this??? T__T

not my gif

“(y/n) I-“ Tom muttered

“So thats it, you’ve been cheating with her this whole time” I interrupted. I shoved my hand in the direction of Z, she looked shocked and offended but at that point I didn’t care. I scrunched my face trying to stop tears from falling, 

“Yes” Tom stuttered softly, he glared at the floor.

“Look at me!” I screamed, my eyes had scrunched too much spilling hot tears. 

“(y/n) I think that’s enough” Haz said grabbing my hand. His warm fingers soothed my seething anger. He rubbed his thumb up and down the top of my hand and then led me away. Our skin touching made my heart skip a beat. We stepped over the glass and he led me out the front door. I still had burning anger at the pit of my stomach so I turned around. Haz jolted back as I came to a stop. 

“you’re a real arsehole you know that, for being mad at me for cheating. When you’re the one screwing around” I spat. Jacob gasped and tried really hard not to laugh. Nicola sort of nodded approvingly at me. I tried to catch a glimpse of everyone as Haz pulled me away. 

“That was badass” He admitted chuckling to himself 

“Thank you Harrison” I laughed, we walked down the street. I didn’t even have any shoes on because I left them on the floor in the living room and I didn’t even have a coat. I rubbed my goosebump covered arms. 

“shit, we left our coats didn’t we?” Haz chuckled

“I’m so freezing oh my god” I said pressing my body against Harrison’s. My teeth violently chattered so he wrapped his arm around me as we walked down the pavement. He grip tightened every so often as I melted into his body. We reached the end of the street and on the corner there was a coffee shop. It had a neon sign in the shape of a coffee cup, its warm orange light reflected on the small droplets of water on the pavement. 

“I’m so cold can we go in there” I pointed

“I agree, I need a cappuccino ASAP” Haz shivered. We stole away into the coffee shop and approached the counter. 

“chocolate latte please” I muttered to the barista, my teeth still chattering. The coffee shop was painted orange and warm indie music was playing out of speakers. 

“cinnamon cappuccino” Haz smiled, I didn't have any money but Haz insisted he still owed me for the Chinese meal. 

We took our scorching drinks and grabbed a sofa. I slumped down into the leather and sipped my drink.

“I am again so sorry about Bella” Haz repeated

“Haz, don’t worry” I slurped

“I know it is a sensitive subject”

“Yeah” I sighed “I haven’t really talked about the whole uni and job thing to you have I?”

“No” Haz replied “But, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to” He said softly placing a hand on my arm.

“No it’s fine” I replied “Well, when I met Tom I had just come out of school. I failed all my exams because I was going through a really rough time. My friends all went off to Uni and I didn’t” I could feel myself choking up but I tried to hold myself together by taking another sip of my latte. The warm liquid burned me back to reality, I gazed over at Haz. His hand was still placed supportively on my arm. He could obviously see I was upset so he rubbed his thumb across my arm, pinching the material of my dress at every stroke. He looked so invested in me and what I had to say, it sort of mended my old unstitched wounds. 

I carried on “So, I lived with my parents for a while until I met Tom, he promised to support me financially until I got a proper job. I haven’t applied for anything since…”

“What did you want to do?” Haz asked softly 

“I wanted to direct films” I admitted “But, I didn't have the grades for film school”

“Don’t worry (y/n)” Haz breathed “Is that what you really want to do?” He pressingly asked

“Yes, I have since I was super young. Why?” I replied. Haz smiled and then pulled out his phone.

“What are you doing?” I asked worriedly. I tried to peek at his phone screen but he hid it from me. I protested and tried to grab his phone but he stood up and carried on typing. After a few minutes he sat back down and grinned at me. 

“You are starting at the London Film School in January” He smiled at me. He looked so chuffed with himself. My heart dropped suddenly. 

“What?” 

“My uncle works there, I put in a special recommendation” He smirked nudging my arm with his elbow. 

“That doesn’t mean I have actually got in though” I laughed modestly 

“Well, you need to submit some of your work”

“like a short film?”

“Yeah” Haz said brining his drink to his lips and sipping on it lightly 

“I haven’t got any updated work” I huffed

“Well, why don’t we do a short film together?” Haz suggested

“What? Like you act and I direct?”

“Yes! It’s an amazing idea!” He said excitedly setting down his cup and standing up. “I’ll be the knight, defending the princess from the dragon” He acted it out by flexing his muscles and pretending to be sword fight the air. I laughed and clapped jokily. “Or, a lost man who results to drinking to numb his pain” Haz wobbled around and pretended to chug an invisible bottle.

“Or! A young actor trying to find a job” I cried 

“Yes, and on his journey he meets a young girl who likes film making” 

“Yes, and then they fall madly in love with each other” I said standing up. “It’s set in a country town, by the sea!” Ideas were flowing from my brain and out of my lips. Haz glared at me in awe.

“You really are extraordinary (y/n)” He smirked, He edged closer to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. My face edged closer to his. His grip slowly tightened around me as his arm snaked around my waist more and more. 

“We are closing!” The barista shouted. We both broke from our loving gaze and quickly chugged the rest of our drinks. 

Haz made me feel so comfortable and free. I was so distracted and hadn’t thought of Tom and what he had done since we left the Holland's house. Haz and I thanked the barista and ran back out into the cold with our fingers intertwined together. 

“Stay at my apartment?” Haz suggested as we stumbled happily down the street.

“Well, I was kind of thinking of that already. I don’t want to see Tom for a while” I admitted tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. 

“Yeah, no worries!” Haz said softly “I have a pull out couch”. 

In my heart I knew it was a bit bad of me to be craving to sleep in Haz’s bed but secretly I knew he was joking about the couch. We walked up to his apartment building and he slid his key into the lock and turned it. We tiptoed up the soft carpeted steps and reached his door. 

5

He slid his other key into the lock and I noticed a huge scar on his hand as he twisted it around. 

“What happened to your hand?” I asked

“Oh nothing”

“Show me” I protested, trying to grab his hand. I tugged the keys out of his grip and look at his hand. I uncurled his strong fingers and analysed the huge scar across the inside of his hand. 

“what happened?” I gasped

“Nothing” Haz protested drawing his hand away.

“Why don’t you want to tell me?”

“Because you were there” Haz muttered pressing his head against the door. He looked embarrassed and then I remember the loud noise the night I left his apartment.

“Th- the noise I heard” I stuttered “what did you do” I said worryingly gazing up into his blue eyes

“I smashed a vase on the ground, out of anger” He admitted “It slit my hand when I was picking up the pieces”

“I am sorry” I said grabbing his hand. He looked at me and smiled slightly.

“It’s not your fault, I was an idiot” he huffed 

“An idiot for what” I said taking his hand a kissing his scar lightly

“For ever letting you go” He said. He looked at me passionately and I returned his gaze. He flung the door open and pulled me inside. He grabbed me and I wrapped my arms around him. He picked me up swinging my legs around his hips and sitting me on his counter. Impulse took over and my dress was already off and so was his shirt. Our bodies pressed up against each other, I pushed him down onto the sofa and straddled over him lightly kissing his chest. I reached his stomach and then returned to his soft lips, he flipped me over and propped himself above me. 

“I Miss You” He smiled breathily 

“I Miss You too” I breathed back. 

He grinned and then cupped his hand around my back and I curled my hands in his hair. Then one thing led to another and we were in his room, our bodies intertwining in his sheets. 

I turned over to stare into his eyes. He was drifting off to sleep but immediately came to when I rolled over.

“I love you” He whispered into my ear

“Say it again” I smirked

“I love you (y/n)”

He then proceeded to lean over me and kiss me lightly. First my head then my nose, my cheek, the side of my neck and then he started quickly dotting them all over my face. After every kiss he would softly say “here”. Then he reached my lips and looked down at them. He brushed his finger lightly over them and said “and definitely here”. I bit my lip and then he kissed me, I pushed him over and then I rolled on top of him laughing. I lay my head down on his chest as he stroked my head.

“Your heart is beating so fast” I said placing one of my hands on his chest

“really? Usually when I’m with you it feels like my heart stops” He giggled

“what, so I basically kill you then” I laughed jokily, I knew Haz was going to come out with some beautiful poetic sentence from his soft lips straight after. 

“No, you stop space, time and everything just with your beauty” He whispered softly. I looked up and him and pecked him lightly.

“You aren’t so bad yourself” I laughed, Haz always hated when I killed the lovey dovey mood with my jokes. He sulked and grabbed a pillow slamming it down on my face. I protested and threw it off. I pushed myself over and snuggled down into bed with Haz’s arms comforting me.

My 8yo brother made me tea in the morning and i knew he'd put salt in it bc i heard him giggling up the hallway, and i looked that kid in the eye and took a sip and thanked him. I then proceeded to drink the whole damn cup, and ask for another if the kettle was still hot. 11. what’s the first song you can remember loving? When i was about 8 i think, i was obsessed with anything by ABBA, i had a cassette player and i found an old ABBA cassette in the garage and i was hooked. What do you think you smell like? Hopefully i smell like Marc Jacobs "Dot" perfume bc thats what i got for christmas. Got any new projects that you’re really excited about? I'm working on a short comic i was to release in october, and am contributing to an art zine! What was one of your biggest life changes? Uni for sure. It's just such a healthy change from high school and now that i'm out if that environment i've really been able to get myself together a bit better! What countries have you traveled too? I've never left the country ahha Where do you want to go? What do you want to see? I've always wanted to go to NASA!! or see the art galleries in Europe!! But my realistic goal is to go on a roadtrip with some friends to see all the Big Things in Queensland. What are you most worried about right now? What will you do to stop the worry? I worry constantly about social situations, the future, god everything... Mostly due to my lucid dreaming i sometimes have moments where i feel like im dreaming when im awake, its terrible, and i always worry i'll get stuck feeling that way. And i have no way of dealing with it, but if i find a way i'll let you know! If you had to give yourself a new name, what name would you pick? I don't know, when i was little i wanted Lorna bc i think i knew a girl at school with that name. What quality about yourself do you value most? I'd say my creativity; my ability to have ideas and stories and images in my head and turn them into art and poetry for others to see? its good fun. What’s in your fridge? Is it Edible? At the moment i have a lot of mince and tomato sauce bc im planning to make some enchiladas for dinner tomorrow. When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? For the longest time i was going to be a ballet dancer, and then when i hit high school i wanted to be an artist. What is one of your favourite deserts? STICKY DATE PUDDING!! or lemon meringue pie!

They did such a good job writing RIGHT NOW(Harry, Louis, Liam and Julian) . They put two different perspectives in the same song so we have the chorus and the verses that tell two stories with the bridge closing the gap/not being specific. I love it so so much.

The other guys/Liam

I love this feeling and right now

I wish you were here with me

'Cause right now,

Everything is new to me.

You know I can't fight the feeling.

And every night I feel it.

Right now

I wish you were here with me.

Harry and Louis

Late night spaces with all our friends, you and me, yeah.

Love these faces just like how it used to be..

Lights go down and I hear you calling to me, yeah.

Do you have an analysis on it?

That's interesting! And no I didn't have an analysis on it but of course this turned into one :) This got a bit deeper than I expected.

A Lyric analysis of 1D's Right Now below the cut:

Indeed the chorus and verse could be read as being at a different timepoint or from another persons perspective, so I'll just hussle the lyrics a little bit for the analysis:

Verse 1:

Lights go down and the night is calling to me I hear voices singing songs in the street And I know that we won't be going home for so long But I know that I won't be on my own I love this feeling and

So this is positive right? Lights go down -> They just had a show, and now they're gonna make some midnight memories. Then it's just ~description of nightlife~, followed by that they know they won't be going home anytime soon, they're going to be out touring for a while, but they are NOT alone, they're in this together, and they're loving it

Verse 2:

Late night spaces with all our friends, you and me Love these faces just like how it used to be [repeat of lines 3-5 of verse 1]

This can either be reminiscent of a time they were home, but to me it sounds more like having their friends with them on tour, as the "late night spaces" are what happens when the "lights go down".

"Love these faces" -> familiar faces, these people I know and trust,

"just like how it used to be" -> celebrating a feeling of normalcy, away from the crazy fame part that's their daytime life now, it's what happens late at night, at night they can be themselves surrounded by true friends. It's positive, it's comfortable, it's celebratory. Then there's "you and me are with our friends" -> there's not really a hint of "I wish you were here" in there, their person is there with them.

Chorus:

Right now I wish you were here with me 'Cause right now everything is new to me You know I can't fight the feeling and every night I feel it Right now I wish you were here with me

First your, anons, interpretation as it being from another person's perspective: In contrast to the "I" in the verses, my person isn't here with me, and I wish they were, I can't fight feeling like this, and every night when we're all together I can't help but miss you.

Basically "I wish you were here with me" is what throws off the entire meaning of the chorus vs verses as it doesn't fit but I got an idea of why that might be, I'll go there after I've gone over the lyrics. The rest does fit:

"everything is new to me" -> ties in with "just like how it used to be", basically their friend's faces are reminding them of a pre-fame time, everything else surrounding them is new, is we're famous now, is we're living this crazy life now.

"You know I can't fight the feeling and every night I feel it" -> ties in with "I love this feeling", what's the feeling? It could just be touring, being in all this together, or the feeling of all my favorite conversations always made in th AM, talking out of our asses after a show

Bridge:

And I could do this forever And let's go crazy together

Again just, we're on this crazy succesfull band tour life insanity together.

Wish You Were Here

I don't interpret this song as sad and missing home/someone who isn't there with them at all. The only sentence that doesn't fit the whole vibe is "Right Now I Wish You Were Here with me", and I think that's because it's a reference to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Right Now and this song cover the same themes, although 1D's songs is uh.. a lot easier to digest, just a little simple boppy popsong, while Wish You Were Here is a masterpiece. Anyway, they all are big big Pink Floyd fanboys and this song is referenced throughout their work time and time again, so why not this one too.

I've been waiting to drop all the Wish You Were Here references I found (so far) in a post so I'm just gonna plomp that down here, and also helps to link Right Now to any other possible 1D or otherwise song:

This is THE thing tying this whole thing together so don't skip over looking at these lyrics or you'll miss the plot:

Honestly it's suprising how much you can gain out of simple boybander bop song lyrics, but you can, so here that is: Right Now has an older brother, AM, which in turn is followed up by Niall's This Town. All 3 have Pink Floyd WYWH references in them, and then there's also the outlier Two Ghosts, that doesn't fit in with the others (I got my opinions on this too but maybe not put that here too I mean how many sidetracks do you need). In the pic I didn't highlight how Right Now and AM are similar, because then the whole thing would be colored lol, they're just both going "we're chilling together in the middle of the night and it's a great feeling", while This Town is reminiscent of that time, and weaving a narrative of the "you" being a lover around it (nope that's totally not a placeholder for the band nope not at all nope).

PF's Wish You Were Here is part of the same-titled album that explores dealing with that whole world they were put in: (being exhausted from) touring, fame and seeing those who rose to fame with them losing themselves in it, how shitty the music industry is, reminiscing simpler times in the craziness of it all. If you don't know it, listen to it, read about it, this description really doesn't do it justice not even a little bit, moving on. Wish You Were Here can be interpreted as making it big, selling themselves out and reflecting on it, trying to stay grounded: So you think you can tell what's bad from what's good, what's real from what's fake, what matters from what doesn't in life, and that however big, however insane (and fake) it gets, wherever it leads you, you're still that same old person, still facing the same old fears and problems, you and me are still the same people we were before all this. Don't you wish things were the way they were before it all got so crazy sometimes? "I wish you were here" -> I wish this pre-fame version of life (or me, or you being my friend that rose to fame along with me) were here with me, I wish sometimes we were there again.

And then there's the cover art of Wish You Were Here vs Harry in Golden:

Niall's No Judgement features 2 fishies swimming in a fishbowl:

Eroda promo:

Some unnecessary reaches, sometimes I dedicate posts to pointing at leaves, now I'm pointing at fish: 5 fishies here,

5 fishies there (Zayn - Entertainer) (the top one on the right is just a reflection)(yes this is a stupid reach just let me have fun)

Gets an ask about Right Now, ends up sharing at a screenshot of 5 fish in Zayn's music video, thinking how the fuck did I get here

Basically ot5 are 5 Pink Floyd fanfishies swimming around in their glasses and talking out of their asses. No actual wishing someone is there with them other than eachother and the importance of staying their real true grounded selves amidst all the craziness, something they have shown to value many times!

Re: what you said in the tags, don’t worry, I can read your tone of voice. :) And that’s a fair enough take on it! It’s true, remaining distance and enjoying something on purely surface level is a very rare thing? And I think that can be really special. If you wanna talk more about this when you’re done with your other stuff then by all means, count me in!

thanks babe

see, thats interesting bc like, I think of the intellectual stuff as more superficial. I guess it’s like the surface of me going into the depths of The Thing, vs. the surface of The Thing going into the depths of me (giggity).

Like singing along with music / with people is the #1 reason im religious because it’s such an incredible thing that it’s just invariably sacred. it can’t not be sacred and soul-deep. It’s got this fixed place as the most meaningful and sacred of things for me. Dad singing “Rise and shine and give the god glory glory” (also i should not have googled that. it was better in vague memory than in eerily cheerful children’s chorus). Singing and playing The Lion King with my brother. Singing pop songs with Maddie and Gloria. Bear singing as he cooks in the kitchen. Singing in church. Singing on walks home late at night. Singing in my room at the top of my lungs. That’s like the most sacred something can be. 

Bringing intellectual analysis into that would do it so much harm. the song “Everything’s Turning to White” was kinda irreparably tarnished for me because i started thinking about what it means exactly and looked it up and disagree with some people and now every time it comes on i think about that instead of just connecting with the tragedy of the death, with the wife’s fear and grief, with the incredible imagery of that song. 

There’s also just the act of accepting something as it comes to you. I don’t want to talk down the act of analysing stuff and appreciating it that way because I value that a lot as a both a consumer and producer of stuff. But there’s also something special in just interacting with the way you would with natural scenery, with the beauty of plants or animals or the sea or a sunset. It’s just direct appreciation of the beauty that is there, without needing to look into the depths of it. That’s another hard, rare thing, at least in my life.

#thisdeadaccount #i did four years of religious studies specifically so that i'd overuse the word sacred for the rest of my life #that was my goal on day one #*talk about sacred things until you describe everything in the world as sacred without being to explain why* #i wrote it down exactly like that im sure
