Older music video but make it 5SOS/Lashton/gay (this sat in my drafts, so it’s before the full video was released)
OK, LETS GO SHALL WE?
Let’s have some Lashie fun about the “Older” mv teaser… I think this might be about how you choose to live the last moments of your life? There’s also some Lashton/5SOS connections that can be made.
First, there’s the geriatric couple who is dancing and so in love together (setting up the whole meaning of long term relationship love). HUGS
Then, there’s the couple kissing on the car. There’s been an ongoing theme of cars in 5sos music videos. Motion (Luke sitting in car alone), Starting Line (jumping over cars and singing to person in car), Lie to Me (sitting in car alone)(LTM which also involved Ash wearing prominent red shirt), Bad Omens (most of mv, the actors are in car, red flags in the air and covering them).
Then, next there’s a group of friends huddling together (part of love is friendship, so this represents 5sos and how Lashton started and part of what keeps them together)
Then there’s the person painting while wearing a red top. (Ashton is known for having a passion for painting).
Michael is playing a red guitar by himself (Luke was playing a red guitar throughout all of TMH tour, Ashton was photographed and made a video with it as well.)
Not sure what the dude wearing the red bow tie and the man and woman behind him could mean. (Maybe the presence of their parents? Idk???)
Luke, Cal, Ash in the field together but only Luke is in full color at piano wearing a red tie. Cal and Ash are faded.
Ashton is at a set of drums wearing a red flower and written on the bass drum is “The End?” (My speculative brain knowing Ash, this could be Lierra shade?? So far she’s nowhere to be found in mv, nor have they had her part of singing. Wondering if the mv will be when the partner has already passed away, which fits the the story. This means her voice could just be there and she’s nowhere to be found.)
Happy geriatric couple shown again.
Two people sharing popcorn in a car, movie date? (Luke spoke about how he and Ash sit in the car together to listen to their songs. He said he likes doing that. So I’m sure other things like having snack or whatever happen).
Next there’s an interracial gay couple, I, first want to acknowledge, how beautiful it is they’re showing inclusion. But also, the gay/lgbt connection with Ash and Luke.
Next there’s a woman wearing a red top putting on a vinyl record. (Ash LOVES listening to vinyl and has many posts of them. Including a snarky post on the day of the Super Bowl. haha love it)
Then the woman is shown dancing to it. (Ash and Luke dancing connection).
Picnic. In 2021, Luke and Ash actually spent their combined birthday celebration as a subdued picnic situation due to the pandemic. They tend to celebrate their birthdays together every year since they are both July babies.
I think this point got a little lost amid the general fandom glee at Dominique and Vanitas bonding (or at least it did for me), but looking back at chapter 60, the implications that this scene has for Vanitas are fucking wild.
It's not the only aspect of her relationship with him, but a huge cornerstone of Dominique's feelings toward Noé is the fact of her absolutely massive crush on him. Like, as much as she's venting about how he frustrates her, Dominique's thoughts on Noé in this scene are the thoughts of a woman that is canonically in love with him. And Vanitas apparently thinks/feels the exact same way.
As their shared venting reaches its fever pitch, Vanitas and Dominique both reach the exact same ending point. Noé is stubborn and overly straightforward and unrelenting, and both of them feel helpless against it. And they say as much!
They say as much, and then they both cut themselves off and flinch away in the exact same way, as though they've said too much. They've revealed some deeper truth about their feelings and the ways that Noé's force of personality affects them.
Dominique reacts this way presumably because she touched a little too close to the reality of her romantic feelings for him. The thing cut off at the end of "Since he's like that, I—" is some expression of the depths of her incredible fondness for and attraction to him. And Vanitas apparently feels the exact same way as Dominique. He expresses almost the exact same outward sentiment and catches himself and flinches in the exact same way. So if Dominique is speaking here in (albeit frustrated) love, then what emotions is Vanitas speaking from?
“Return my cross or else I’ll kiss you senseless.”
“Guess I won’t be returning it then.”
I had to get it out of my system or else I will not know peace. XD Trigun Stampede has taken over my life and Vashwood just slapped me in the face. Print
a series of coincidences across a half-dozen songs and some videos

Never picking up that phone
Shawn Mendes update account when Shawn’s ig story is posted December 14, 2018
“Great hair, great thick hair”
Niall Horan is asked to say his favorite quality of Shawn Mendes. It ends up being a handful, of course. He starts immediately with "he's got great hair", then lists a few more, then goes back to talk about his hair some more. It's so visceral that he has to make the gesture up to his own hair. (Side note: I want to know what he says during the edit point! There's at least one or two.)
The chase
"I'm so obsessed with her"
Whilst Co-hosting "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon", Shawn asks Jimmy question choose to Like, Follow, Block of Shawn, Niall, and Justin Timberlake. Shawn tells Jimmy that Niall is watching. Shawn is so happy/proud of the results of Liking and Following the two of them. Niall later tweets that he made the right choice. tweet with clip
Not too keen on dancing
Related to this, Niall posting IG video of Shawn dancing on his birthday during the pandemic was … not dancing. Also, "the boy". Adorable.
"JAN" instagram photodump on Feb 2022 includes Shawn dancing pic
Again.... where's Naill?? Also, Shawn seems to be attempting Irish steps.
What separates Canada 🇨🇦 from Ireland 🇮🇪 ?
Queen by SM makes this same complaint
Since ‘No One’ has no tattoos, phone numbers or otherwise, it seems like they’re probably lying.
“If honesty means telling you the truth”, so I’m siding with SM on this one. PICK UP the phone!!!
Niall has spoken in a few interviews about himself having OCD. Having this would cause someone to perhaps want to things be a "particular" way. But someone who lovingly cares about you would paint it in the best light possible. The song is about fancying someone who is playing games, but that person ultimately, ends up with you. He matched with this person's "particular taste".
October 13, 2022 David Dawson and his partner happily announce they got engaged! So mega happy for them!!
But what I noticed, is in the article it said they have BLACK ONYX ENGAGEMENT RINGS!!
Remind you of anyone having matching black onyx rings???????? And Ash got the blue sapphire 5 year anniversary version from the year they were living together?!?!
