Me!
Firstly the Video is a Haylor fest, as the lead single for Lover. It opens with Brendan and Taylor fighting in french.... made while Harry had a french girlfriend... Olivia and Meredith appear as daughters, a reference to 'Who is Olivia's Real Father?' in the Reputation TS Tabloid. Brendan then wears a floral suit (like Harry's on LOT 07/11/2018 San Jose, California) to give Taylor a kitten to make sure we know it is Harry laughing in the Olivia video. Benjamin also appears in the green room of the Lover video.
Tumblr media
Actually before that open, a pastel coloured snake turns into butterfly's. There is a butterfly in every Lover video, on Taylors shirt and in a snake/butterfly tattoo in You need to Calm Down.
Of course, Harry has a large butterfly tattoo and in one Direction song he wrote, Olivia Harry said " The summertime, butterflies / All belong to your creation / I love you, it's all I do, I love you" he also tweeted this lyric before it was released. There is an adorable video of Harry implying Olivia is an emotion not a person.
Tumblr media
A Ghost/Phantom reference for HYGTG, Stockholm Syndrome, Two Ghosts & Ready For it
And Taylor is walking in clouds which is referred to in the HS videos for Daylight and Late Night talking.
Tumblr media
Throughout, Brendan Urie wears several suits that look like what Harry wore on Live on Tour, I put them all at the end. My favorite is this blue one where Harry sang Shania Twain's 'Still the One' at Madison Square Garden. (He loves TS so much, June 22 2018) TS invited Niall to play Wembly the same night. The other reference is from LOT Chicago, June 30, 2018.
Tumblr media
Finally, the leaked Two Ghosts video gets a reference at the end. This makes me even more curious about why we never saw it, if Taylor did - did it serve it's purpose????? The stills were leaked in April 2020 - Me! was released April 2019, were they leaked for an anniversary of the video? Two Ghosts had been a single in 2017.

Lyrics
I promise that you'll never find another like me I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh I know I never think before I jump And you're the kind of guy the ladies want (And there's a lot of cool chicks out there) I know that I went psycho on the phone I never leave well enough alone And trouble's gonna follow where I go (And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
A theme is that they cannot replace each other, Harry says as much in As it was with "Seems you cannot be replaced / And I'm the one who will stay, oh."
Not thinking before jumping is also similar to a Little Freak lyric 'jumped in feet first, broke an ankle, karma rules'.
He is indeed the kind of guy ladies want, which is covered again in Gold Rush. Taylor has a similar lyric to 'never leave well enough alone' in the One "digging up the grave again"
But one of these things is not like the others Like a rainbow with all of the colors Baby doll, when it comes to a lover I promise that you'll never find another like Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm the only one of me Baby, that's the fun of me Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh You're the only one of you Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
Harry has a similar lyric in Adore you "Walk in your rainbow paradise (paradise) Strawberry lipstick state of mind (state of mind)". Again, the idea of the song is that there is no one like Taylor or Harry for the other. As it Was has the same idea: "In this world, it's just us / You know it's not the same as it was".
Someday (Harry sung by Ariana Grande and Buble has a similar lyric to the last line “And I can't lie, it's hard seeing you with her 'Cause I know she can't love you like I can”)
I know I tend to make it about me I know you never get just what you see But I will never bore you, baby (And there's a lot of lame guys out there) And when we had that fight out in the rain You ran after me and called my name I never wanna see you walk away (And there's a lot of lame guys out there)
How You Get the Girl opens with a reference to a fight in the rain and the first ghost reference "Stand there like a ghost / Shaking come the rain, rain / She'll open up the door / And say, are you insane, -ane?"
'Cause one of these things is not like the others Livin' in winter, I am your summer Baby doll, when it comes to a lover I promise that you'll never find another like
Taylor again references summertime from Olivia, and living in winter (London). There is a similar lyric in So it Goes, "I make all your gray days clear"
Then comes spelling is fun which think it is another Harry loves Scrabble reference.
Here are more of Brendan's outfits and their LOT counterparts
Tumblr media
The California outfit has a.... Medicine reference.

I'd be lying if I said I was sick of being haunted by you, it's satisfyingly romantic in an artistic movement sense of the word (which is probably why I've had it go on this long, certainly less about you in particular and more about the vibes), though I'll admit it's somewhat hard to know that to a degree, I'm haunted by a version of you that I don't know ever really existed

Dating Solomon Headcanons
sometimes (all the time) i think about the sorcerer
Also! I'm still working on my characterization of him so I might change all of this if it doesn't feel right. Please tell me what you think so I can improve!
Tumblr media
Solomon
Before the two of you started dating, he managed to stick to your side as often as possible. It never seemed like there were ulterior motives - as the two human exchange students, you naturally sought each other out to share your experiences (or, on occasion, you just needed to seek someone out who understood the specific human brand of humor you had).
Even if demons didn’t always share your humor, there was the ever-present trend of a few daring ones spotting the two of you together and cooing something about lovebirds in mockery.
Solomon normally ignored them, but when he wanted to get a rise out of them (or you) he’d sling an arm around your waist and beam. Most demons just let their faces fall as their fun was ruined and walked away.
Once you do start dating, though, he either ignores them or purposely exaggerates his gags.
“Me? Date them? I’m not so desperate, how could you mistake me as such?”
He’ll stop if it starts to bother you, but that doesn’t mean he won’t replace it with something more annoying.
As friends, you’ll act all lovey-dovey, but dating you’ll be (even more) at each other’s throats
Solomon is all tricks and show, so dating him will sometimes feel like a performance art. Not necessarily in a shallow way - just sometimes, you notice the glimmering curtains he puts up for fun and scramble to get in on his act.
One thing Solomon really likes to do is subtly match outfits, especially if you’re out to something nice. Put on a nice dress/dress shirt and he’ll be asking for what color his own shirt (or tie, or something) should be. He won’t tell you that he likes looking like the two of you are a set.
He is neither big on nor against PDA. He’ll go along with anything you initiate and if he feels like he wants a quick kiss he’ll take one, but don’t expect anything hot and heavy in the RAD halls.
(Unless, of course, you let him usher you into an unused classroom. But more salacious instances don’t normally happen without provocation, and he would never actually let anyone actually walk in and see you in such a state.)
However, if you don't wait for him before following the masses of demons to the doors after your classes are over, you can expect him to find his spot beside you and slip his hand in yours before you leave the school grounds.
He does that lot: appear out of nowhere and grab your hand, or elbow you gently so you can hold his arm. Solomon won't say anything, but the more natural it becomes the happier it makes him. Its almost like you mold into each other, like it was meant to be...or so you said one time before he pestered you endlessly about it. You may never know the thought loves rent-free in his head
Doesn't really believe in conventional dates. If there's a place you want to go then he's down for an outing, but wine-and-dining doesn't open the door for romance the way a formal "date" should for him.
How to tell what he considers your excursions together:
"Didn't you want to ___?" = not a date, but he won't refuse any kisses or happy endings you might plan along the way.
"Would you be willing to ___?" = not a date, he needs help with a spell. You can get yourself a reward out of it easily (though he'll bemoan the absence of generosity in your soul and comment on your roommates and their influence over you multiple times)
"Can I show you something?" = probably a date, especially if he starts the conversation like this. You know you've got him pinned if he's standing before you thoughtfully, holding his chin and blushing as he averted his gaze.
Most dates involve magic - he can't hold back the urge to impress you, even if on the outside he'll scoff at the thought.
Has definitely tried to cook for you twice and only twice. The first time was a joke - he wanted to see how far you'd go to spare his feelings and was impressed at just how much you ate of his charred and ruined meal
The other time was a genuine attempt, and that's when he asked you to teach him how to cook
He will invite you over all the time to practice cooking and each time you can see Simeon glancing at the two of you from the corner of his eye
Solomon will definitely cheese it up here, asking if you could "guide his hands" or coming up behind you and resting his chin on your head while you cook
Because let's be real, you end up doing the bulk of the work here anyway
Solomon doesn't say "I love you" easily or often - and he would honestly prefer if you didn't need to hear it that often
He acts casual, acting so well its hard to remember he's lived and loved and lost for countless lifetimes. There are walls he isn't sure how to topple, so he just decides they must stay.
Solomon will definitely make sure you know you're important to him, that you hold a special place in his heart, but he shies at the idea of love
At first it manifests in offerings of peace, hoping to make your life easier: he's got a spell for anything and everything, all you need to do is ask
He'll transition into softening just slightly, a more tender expression on his face or his laughter lighter than it used to be. (Only for you, you notice.)
You'll realize the extent of his love not when he's melted into a puddle at your feet, but when he holds you as an equal in every regard
No longer will he coddle you: he'll offer to teach you anything you may want or need to know to face the troubles the Devildom has to throw at you
Perhaps most notable is the fact that he stops seeing you as a vessel for his entertainment: you still amuse him, sure, and he is intrigued by you every day, but those start to take shape as pros of knowing you rather than the purpose you serve him
Its a subtle shift, sure but when you realize that all of a sudden his words and caresses feel like they mean more, it makes you ridiculously giddy.
When he finally does say "I love you," he's breathless - he probably just barely got you both out of dire situations his latest magical excursion brought, escaping some rabid mythical beast with a quick spell after what felt like hours of running.
He looks over to you, just as breathless as you run your hands through your hair. Your eyes are wide and wild, and when you look at him he can still practically see exhilaration swirling in your bloodstream
He doesn't mean to say it but he doesn't mean not to - it just slips out because an adventure like this would normally leave him frustrated and sore, but all he sees with you in the picture is fun.
Solomon doesn't miss the way your eyes soften and your grin grows, and that alone hits him so hard he realizes he'd say it a million times over just to keep you this happy.
He doesn't do that, though - but every now and then you can feel the ghost of his breath on your ear and his warmth radiate to you the whisper of those three words forcing your face to blush
Sometimes he does this without actually saying "I love you," and it always makes you flustered. When he pulls away from you, though, his eyes are so happy you're fine to leave them unspoken
This time.
