#(honestly I’m kinda picturing this song I like now could fit well with Francis - or at least how I rotate him in my brain -

[seven-thewanderer]

Kinda EAPS spoilers? (wowzers my first Eclipse & Puppet show spoilers?) (don’t let me say wowzers again)

So another PAM Podcast, huh? That’s nice!! (Imma say PAM Podcast btw cus idk about calling it PAMP, it sounds like that one diaper brand. Pampers.)

But honestly that Podcast kinda confirmed the little thoughts I had while circling Francis & Frank in my mind?

Cus while I kinda classified Frank as the “negative side, but has his positive moments” like Ice Cream & their relationship with Ruin Monty (or Ronty as the other fans called him, and Click as I called him)…

…but I mentally imagined Francis (after I first heard them say “whatever makes you happy” which I think I first processed when they said it to Monty & FC about the leaving/staying predicament) as the positive person who tries to be a people person, and puts more focus on making others happy than themself happy

and I think the show just confirmed him as a People Pleaser?

Like everything they said, even when Monty basically threatened his life, as he said was whatever made them happy!!

no matter what they asked, as long as it made them happy, that was all he cared about!!

And sure, while he did say he can’t feel any bit of negative energy (or something along those lines) because he’s positive energy…

we’ve seen Frank be happy. At least I’m pretty sure. Like definitely about the Ice Cream thing

So Francis could probably feel negative. And it’s messed up, but I kinda want him to XD

Like I want him to have that breakdown, figuring out if what makes others happy - or even making others happy period - really makes himself happy

In short (or TL:DR): Francis is probably canonically a people pleasure as I mentally headcanon’d, and I now want more Francis angst XD

Are there any taylor swift songs that you think connect to any of the storylines in any of the nancy drew games? I've never connected any but I'm suddenly curious

Thank so much for the ask! Also because this made me revisit old Taylor music :3

Be prepared. This is going to be very very long because I decided to go through every album because I have no self control. XD So getchya snacks and sit down for a read lol.

I’ve always thought “the Man” really fit with Nancy just in general? that’s what comes first to mind. 

*cue me going back to all the albums*

“Stay Beautiful” for Rick Arlen XDDD Haha jk would never to that to such a good song. Not sure why but “White Horse” gives me the same vibes as the Renate quote about knights in shining armor? “You’re Not Sorry” @ Rentaro. Already said this, but the new guy in “the Way I Loved You” is Ned. Not sure who the ex is though lol. “Forever and Always” about Jacob and Leela from WAC O.o

For some reason... “Spark Fly” is really hitting me as Jancy/Nace. “Speak Now” But it’s Kit in HAU XD (jk Kit ya’ll deserve better my dude) “Mean” for all the girls at Waverly Academy. Oh! And “Picture to Burn” for Markus and Anja o_o “Enchanted” for whichever ship of your choice because that’s one of my favorites. :) 

Every single song about a jerk. That’s Henry singing about Summer. Also “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. Also for some reason “Clean” makes me think of him? Idk why. Just do. 

“Better Than Revenge” and “Look What You Made Me Do”: Dwayne Powers about Rick Arlen. Again probably the girls in WAC. I feel like this could apply to more people but I can’t think of them so feel free to add. Maybe Jack @ mitch dyan or Detective Beech after Nancy gets them caught? Also I feel like “Look What You Made Me Do” is a Nancy vs. Brenda song. 

“Look What You Made Me Do” just. Strikes me as such a Nancy song for some reason lol is that bad? XD (esp CW ShowTM Nancy maybe) also maybe a bit of “Afterglow”.

Not sure why but “innocent” gives me MAJOR Scott Varnell vibes but that might be being too nice to him. “Haunted” is SOO good I feel like it has to be something... if you cut out the romantic bits I feel like some lines would be kinda like Clara after the fire that killed Charlotte? Also if you wanna think of it with the romantic parts, use it for any angst ship of your choice. :) 

“Superman” is Ned singing about Nancy and there is. No changing my mind. I’ve always thought of singing the chorus of “I Knew You Were Trouble” and esp. for the culprits that I have crushed on lol (Eliot Chen who. yeah it happened. not proud of it) A Concept: “All Too Well” for Elizebet and Magnus. I dunno I just really wanted this song to be in here. XD They also work with “I Almost Do”.

“Long Live” for the og clue crew :3 

I’m trying to find a song for Dirk and Francis rn. Maybe “Love Story”? :O what. about “Last Kiss”. Oof. That’s painful. REALLY PAINFUL TO PICTURE. “State of Grace” works too. “Don’t Blame Me” as well possibly. “Cruel Summer” too? Maybe “Starlight” as well, but honestly that song works for any ship. (Starlight kinda gives me Nedcy vibes) “Stay Stay Stay” is also! Nedcy.

“Blank Space” gives me Xenia energy for some reason even though it doesn’t really fit with the story, as well as “I Did Something Bad”. (and obvi the nancy drew GTH meme lol) “Out of the Woods” gives me a Nancy ship vibe (....francy :3) or even Kate and Carson. 

“Bad Blood”: Lisa vs. Nancy. Anja vs. Nancy. Brenda vs. Nancy. Again, the Waverly girls. 

“I Know Places” gives me Jason and Mei vibes (because I ship them). 

OKAY SO LISTEN: I have a dumb story about my Alec Fell association with this song but that’s a story for another day. But seriously Wildest Dreams is every NancyxSuspect-From-A-Case. Dave, Grigor (?) Alec (ha), Dylan, etc. O.o (or any ship but its just. this song really gives me that vibe) (maybe some francy or jancy vibes?) (I love this song so much omg)

“You Are in Love”: works for Nedcy, Jancy, and Francy, but I feel like it’s especially Jancy?  Also “Endgame”. “Delicate” is Francy to me for some reason. Plus “Call It What You Want” and “New Years Day” can be any of them. I feel like there’s a lot of her songs you can argue for ships lol XD 

“...Ready For It?” and “I Did Something Bad” gives me Zoe Wolfe vibes.

“Don’t Blame Me” has always given me an immortal and a mortal vibes, and while she’s immortal,, Persephone and Hades. 

“Gorgeous” for all thy Bess ships. I feel like it also works kinda as a Jancy or Francy but from the boys’ perspective. (Or Nancy’s too I guess lol the boys just came to mind first) 

“This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”: @ NANCY STOP BREAKING STUFF IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TOMBS

“Lover” works for any ship but for some reason it’s givin’ me Jake and Camile vibes.

“Archer” is Nace vibes, as well as “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince”. O.o (maaaaaaaybe Francy vibes too....idk im tired it’s midnight lol) “Paper Rings” is Jancy. so. Cornelia Street lowkey gives me Francy vibes......but you can take it for Jancy too. :D (gosh I love that song) And I already mentioned “It’s Nice to Have a Friend” as a Nace anthem lol.

“London Boy”. Dylan. Carter.

“Me” is a freaking BESS MARVIN ANTHEM !!! :D (that makes me so happy to associate her with that song)  

(I also have a fun “Mine” story but that is also another story for another day.)

Sorry this was so long! Nothing came first to mind so um...I just went through every single song? lol. Thank you so much for the ask, this was really fun. :D
