"Loving him is like..."

Experiences that come with loving the PGR men, inspired by 'Red'

hiii long time no see, finally got around to writing again. srry if this sucks, im a bit rusty LMAOO

as usual, more under the cut!

Driving a new Maserati down a dead end street.

It's new, it's shiny, it's a relationship that you'd love to show off. It's passionate, and for a moment you'd think that he was the one, except deep down you know that it won't lead anywhere, and it'll most likely meet an inevitable end. But for the time being, you savor the moment, practically grasping at straws as you try to make your relationship last as long as possible.

—Roland, Noctis, TEASELL—

Changing your mind in the middle of a free fall.

Diving into the relationship was filled with uncertainty, but you decided to go with the flow and try forming this connection with him anyway. In the middle of it all, you realize that maybe this relationship isn't what you strive for, but it's already too late to back out— you're in too deep to initiate a break up.

—Vonnegut, Murray—

Realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you.

Like the previous one, going into a relationship and forming a connection with him was clouded with an air of uncertainty, except this time, you realize that he's everything you've always wanted in a partner; your perfect other half that could read your mind and finish your sentences.

—Lee, SKK, Wanshi—

Knowing all the words to your old favorite song.

You didn't think that you would be this compatible, but the amount of trust and respect you had for each other since the beginning marked a beautiful start to your relationship. He was basically your best friend, and you already knew how to read each other, so it came naturally as soon as you began officially dating.

—Chrome, Kamui, Noan—

Trying to know somebody you've never met.

SLOW BURNNNN. strangers or rivals to lovers type of thing. The two of you were extremely awkward at first, maybe even having a few petty arguments before you started dating, just because you couldn't seem to understand each other! You drove each other crazy, and it drive the two of you even crazier at the thought that hey, maybe you might be into each other.

—ASIMOV, Camu, Watanabe—

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

or

I'm an Aston Martin That you steered straight into the ditch Then ran and hid

[chosetherose]

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

Loving him is like trying to change your mind

Once you're already flying through the free fall

Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all

taylorklosscomeout138 asked:

"The Prophecy (Track 10) + This Love (Track 11). 11/10 November 10?"

Did you... just say... 11/10????????? What if I told you I have had an ongoing theory for at least 4 months now that 11/10 is the date of the Taylor and Travis public breakup..........

There is literally so much evidence I have never been able to compile it all into one post, all my research is just sitting in my discord server I have to go through it.

I was literally just talking about how Exile played on 11/01 could be foreshadowing the break up on 11/10 because they are the same date just mirrored-

This theory of mine all started from Taylor's interview Nov 11th 2021 where she said "Can I hint at something 3 years in advance? Can I even plan things out that far? I think I'm gonna try to do it"

Because exactly 3 years since that day, is Nov 10th 2024.

We know Travis was already in the plans by then based on pre-existing evidence, especially the fact that Travis attended Karlie's house party in Miami Florida just 6 months after that interview on May 6th 2022.

But seriously when I tell you there is SO much evidence for 11/10 it's not even funny.

For instance the first time Taylor and Travis were truly confirmed "together" was when we got the pictures of them driving a getaway car down a DEAD END STREET.

Nov 11th 2021 was the same night Red TV released. "Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street"

We got the mashup of Red/Maroon "Him" to Her foreshadowing.

We got the same message again with Rep outfit change from red to golden on 10/18 Karlie's fake wedding anniversary, and that night she sung "I once believed love would be burning red, but it's GOLDEN."

And she was quite literally in the Kelvin Temperature DAYLIGHT dress tonight as she sung Maroon. (Search it up if you don't know)

Taylor has played Clean 1 week prior to BOTH of the last 2 public breakups in the timeline. From when she played Clean Oct 27th to when I am theorizing is the breakup Nov 10th is exactly a Fortnight apart.

This is just scratching the surface I can absoutely dig up the rest of my evidence if wanted but I just had to share this in light of seeing yet ANOTHER 11/10 reference. Let me know what you think!!

songs & lyrics that resonate with ANORA MIKHEEVA.

1. the way i loved you · taylor swift

so in love that i acted insane, and that’s the way i loved you, breaking down and coming undone, it’s a roller coaster kinda rush, and i never knew i could feel that much and that’s the way i loved you. ──── he can’t see that smile i’m faking and my heart’s not breaking ‘cause i’m not feeling anything at all, and you were wild and crazy, just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated, got away by some mistake and now…

2. off the chain · selena gomez

a thousand church bells ringing, i can hear the angels singing when you call my name, your love is off the chain. the chemistry is crazy and you make me feel amazing and i can’t explain, your love is off the chain. ──── i’m not the type who gets crazy for someone, odds of me tripping are like next to nothing, guarded my heart like a diamond ring but love, your love, changes everything.

3. fool’s gold · one direction

i know your love’s not real, that’s not the way it feels, that’s not the way you feel. ──── and, yes, i let you use me from the day that we first met but i’m not done yet falling for your fool’s gold.

4. i can do it with a broken heart · taylor swift

‘cause i’m a real tough kid, i can handle my shit, they said, “babe, you gotta fake it ‘til you make it” and i did, lights, camera, bitch smile, in stilettos for miles, he said he’d love me for all time, but that life was quite short, breaking down i hit the floor, all the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was screaming “more…”

5. tightrope · michelle williams

you pulled me in and together we’re lost in a dream, always in motion, so i risk it all just to be with you and i risk it all for this life we choose. ──── hand in my hand and you promised to never let go, we’re walking a tightrope. ──── never sure will you catch me if i should fall… well it’s all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view, walking a tightrope with you.

6. always be mine · chase matthew

you’ll always be the diamond that i picked out that never got the chance to shine, that goodbye walk out the door keeping me up through the night, i might not always be yours, but you’ll always be mine.

7. red · taylor swift

loving him was like driving a new maserati down a dead-end street, faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly. ──── regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong. ──── remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes, tell myself, “it’s time now, gotta let go,” but moving on from him is impossible when i still see it all in my head in burning red. ──── losing him was blue like i’d never known, missing him was dark gray all alone, forgetting him was like tryna know somebody you never met, but loving him was red.

8. who’s afraid of little old me · taylor swift

i was tame, i was gentle ‘til the circus life made me mean, don’t you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth. who’s afraid of little old me?... well, you should be, you should be, you should be. ‘cause you lured me, and you hurt me, and you taunt me. you caged me and then you called me crazy. i am what i am ‘cause you trained me.

9. downtown · chase matthew

if i could get rid of every damn memory, burn the book with the chapter of you and me, it wouldn't be so hard in the neon dark trying to fight what might of got the best of me. ──── under them broadway lights where i thought you and i would stay together, last forever until the end of time. I loved them beat up floors ‘til you walked out that door. can’t give you up but i know one thing’s for sure: i’d be torn up if i saw you, baby, so i don’t go downtown anymore.

10. bye-bye · jo dee messina

[pretty much the whole song.]

11. illicit affairs · taylor swift

don’t call me “kid.” don’t call me “baby.” look at this godforsaken mess that you made me. you showed me colors you know i can’t see with anyone else. ──── don’t call me “kid.” don’t call me “baby.” look at this idiotic fool that you made me. you taught me a secret language i can’t speak with anyone else. and you know damn well, for you, i would ruin myself a million little times.

12. middle of nowhere · selena gomez

[pretty much the whole song.]

13. mr. perfectly fine · taylor swift

but that was when i got to know mr. “change of heart,” mr. “leaves me all alone,” i fall apart. it takes everything in me just to get up each day but it’s wonderful to see that you’re okay. ──── and i never got past what you put me through but it’s wonderful to see that it never fazed you. ──── so far above me in every sense, so far above feeling anything, and it’s really such a shame. it’s such a shame ‘cause i was ms. “here to stay.” now i’m ms. “gonna be alright someday.” ──── goodbye, mr. “perfectly fine.” how’s your heart after breaking mine?

14. all too well (10 minute version) · taylor swift

and there we are again when nobody had to know, you kept me like a secret but i kept you like an oath. ──── maybe we got lost in translation, maybe i asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece ‘til you tore it all up, running scared, i was there, i remember it all too well. and you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest. I’m a crumpled-up piece of paper lying here ‘cause i remember it all, all, all too well. ──── they say all’s well that ends well but i’m in a new hell everytime you double cross my mind. ──── the idea you had of me, who was she? a never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you. ──── time won’t fly, it’s like i’m paralyzed by it. i’d like to be my own self again but i’m still trying to find it. ──── ‘cause there we are again when i loved you so, back before you lost the one real thing you’ve ever known. it was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well. ──── just between us, did the love affair maim you too? ‘cause in this city’s barren cold i still remember the first fall of snow and how it glistened as it fell, i remember it all too well.

AUTHORS NOTE. this character is doing things to me & i honestly don't know how to handle it so i wanted to make this post. i have a whole playlist for Ani but i just chose the songs & lyrics i felt like sharing. ♡

Burning Red (Playlist Series)

Draco Malfoy x Reader

Summary: Some loves are soft, warm, and everlasting—this one was fire. Y/N never meant to fall for Draco Malfoy, but love doesn’t ask permission, and neither does heartbreak.

Based on the song: Red by Taylor Swift

───────────────────────────────

"Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly."

The night was colder than it should have been for early autumn. Leaves, deep shades of gold and crimson, crunched under Y/N’s boots as she stood outside the Astronomy Tower, arms wrapped around herself as if that would somehow shield her from the inevitable. The sky stretched above her in endless darkness, but it didn’t compare to the abyss in her chest—the one Draco Malfoy had carved out with his sharp words and sharper silence.

“You shouldn’t be here,” his voice cut through the air like a blade, rough and barely more than a whisper.

She turned at the sound of him, and for a fleeting second, it felt like nothing had changed. That they weren’t standing on opposite sides of a war. That they weren’t unraveling.

But he looked at her like he was already letting go.

“You don’t get to tell me where I should be,” she shot back, but it lacked the fire it once had. Because the truth was, she wasn’t sure why she was here at all. Maybe it was habit. Maybe it was desperation. Maybe it was the same reason people reached for a flame, knowing it would burn them—because once, it had been warmth.

"Loving him is like trying to change your mind Once you're already flying through the free fall."

She remembered the way it started. How his touch felt like a secret, how their stolen moments had been both reckless and right. The world had blurred around them, and for a while, it hadn’t mattered that he was a Malfoy and she was everything he shouldn’t want.

He had kissed her like she was salvation. Held her like he could tether himself to her instead of the fate he couldn’t escape.

But love wasn’t enough.

“You’ve been avoiding me.” Her voice was quiet now, barely holding together.

Draco exhaled sharply, shoving his hands into his pockets like it might keep them from reaching for her. “You knew this was never going to work.”

A cruel kind of laugh bubbled out of her. “Right. Silly me, thinking you actually meant it when you said you loved me.”

His head snapped up at that, something breaking in his expression. “Don’t,” he breathed.

“Don’t what?” She took a step forward. “Don’t call you out on your bullshit? Don’t remind you that we were something real before you decided to pretend we weren’t?”

His jaw tightened. “I’m doing this for you.”

Her stomach twisted. “No, you’re doing this for you. You’re scared. You think walking away will make it easier when everything falls apart, but guess what, Draco? It already has.”

She didn’t realize she was crying until he reached up, the ghost of his fingers brushing her cheek before he let his hand fall away.

“I would ruin you.” His voice cracked on the words.

“You already have,” she whispered.

"Losing him was blue, like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone."

The days stretched on without him, hollow and endless. She would see him in the Great Hall, in the corridors, but he never looked at her, never let himself slip.

It wasn’t fair. That he got to grieve them in silence, while she felt like she was drowning in everything they had been.

Everywhere she turned, there he was. The ghosts of him lingered in the places they used to meet, in the books he had loaned her that still smelled like his cologne, in the way she would turn to share a thought before remembering he wasn’t there.

And then, one night, she found him again.

"Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go."

The Room of Requirement had given her solace once. Now, it felt like a prison of memories.

She wasn’t expecting him to be there.

Draco sat on the floor, back against the wall, head tipped back like he was trying to hold himself together. His hands trembled where they rested on his knees.

She should have walked away. But she wasn’t strong enough.

“Draco.”

His eyes snapped open, and for the first time in weeks, he looked at her. Really looked at her.

Something shattered.

The next thing she knew, she was in his arms, or maybe he was in hers. It didn’t matter. They were clinging to each other like drowning people, fingers digging in, breath shuddering, hearts breaking.

His lips found hers in a kiss that tasted like every unsaid word, every regret, every second they had lost. It was desperate, aching. A fire that had never gone out.

“I can’t—” He broke off, pressing his forehead to hers. “I can’t do this without you.”

Tears slipped down her cheeks. “Then don’t.”

But the world didn’t care about what they wanted.

"But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red."

She watched him walk away the next morning, the weight of inevitability pressing down on her chest.

He had made his choice. And maybe, in some twisted way, he had made it for her too.

Because some loves weren’t meant to last.

Some loves burned too bright, too fast, until all that was left was ash.

But for a while, it had been red.

╰┈➤S.coups: Wonderland

"Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your green eyes at me? Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds? Didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me, I should've slept with one eye open at night" "So we went on our way, too in love to think straight, all alone, or so it seemed. But there were strangers watching and whispers turned to talking and talking turned to screams," "Oh, darling, we found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it and we pretended it could last forever, we found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it and life was never worse but never better," "I reached for you but you were gone, I knew I had to go back home. You search the world for something else to make you feel like what we had and in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad."

╰┈➤Jeonghan: Getaway car

"It was the great escape, the prison break, the light of freedom on my face but you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin'. While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!", but with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow and a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry. "X" marks the spot where we fell apart, He poisoned the well, every man for himself. I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed, it hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart" "You were drivin' the getaway car, we were flyin', but we'd never get far. Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me. Ridin' in a getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart. Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me" "We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde, until I switched to the other side, to the other side. It's no surprise I turned you in 'cause us traitors never win. I'm in a getaway car, I left you in a motel bar, put the money in a bag and I stole the keys, that was the last time you ever saw me" "I was ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car, I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car"

╰┈➤Joshua: Betty

"But if I just showed up at your party would you have me? Would you want me? Would you tell me to go fuck myself? Or lead me to the garden? In the garden, would you trust me if I told you it was just a summer thing? I'm only 17, I don't know anythin' but I know I miss you" "I know where it all went wrong, your favorite song was playin' from the far side of the gym I was nowhere to be found, I hate the crowds, you know that... plus, I saw you dance with him. You heard the rumors from Inez, you can't believe a word she says most times but this time, it was true. The worst thing that I ever did was what I did to you." "The only thing I wanna do is make it up to you. So I showed up at your party... Yeah, I showed up at your party, will you have me? Will you love me? Will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends? If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it? Will it patch your broken wings? I'm only 17, I don't know anythin' but I know I miss you. Standin' in your cardigan, kissin' in my car again, stopped at a streetlight. You know I miss you"

╰┈➤Jun: Red

"Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street, faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly. Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall, like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all" "Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you. Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song. Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer. Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong" "Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes tell myself it's time now gotta let go, but moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head in burning red. Burning, it was red" "Oh, losing him was blue, like I'd never known. Missing him was dark gray, all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met, 'cause loving him was red" ""And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head comes back to me, burning red. His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street"

╰┈➤ Hoshi: Ronan

"I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club. I remember you dancing before bedtime then jumping on me, waking me up, I can still feel you hold my hand, little man and even the moment I knew, you fought it hard like an army guy. Remember I leaned in and whispered to you?" "What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you? And what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into? And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through? What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?" "Come on, baby, with me, we're gonna fly away from here. Come on, baby, with me, we're gonna fly away from here. You were my best four years. I remember your bare feet down the hallway. I love you to the moon and back"

╰┈➤ Wonwoo: Mirrorball

"I want you to know, I'm a mirrorball. I'll show you every version of yourself tonight. I'll get you out on the floor, shimmering beautiful and when I break it's in a million pieces." "And they called off the circus, burned the disco down when they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns. I'm still on that tightrope, I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me. I'm still a believer but I don't know why, I've never been a natural all I do is try, try, try; I'm still on that trapeze, I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me" "Hush, ehen no one is around, my dear. You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes, spinning in my highest heels, love, shining just for you. Hush, I know they said the end is near but I'm still on my tallest tiptoes, spinning in my highest heels, love. Shining just for you"

╰┈➤ Woozi: This is me trying

"I've been having a hard time adjusting, Ihad the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting. I didn't know if you'd care if I came back, I have a lot of regrets about that. Pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could've followed my fears all the way down and maybe I don't quite know what to say but I'm here in your doorway" "They told me all of my cages were mental so I got wasted like all my potential and my words shoot to kill when I'm mad, I have a lot of regrets about that. I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere, fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey," "And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound, it's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you. You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town" "And I just wanted you to know, that this is me trying; and maybe I don't quite know what to say. I just wanted you to know, that this is me trying. At least I'm trying"
