warnings: angst, semi-swearing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you and luke were inseparable. always attached to each other, whether it was you attending his hockey games or him attending your events. everyone around you guys always thought you were both dating, although you wish you were, there was never any romantic relationships.
highschool graduation happened, and you and luke both had committed to the university of michigan. as time went on through senior year, yours and lukes relationship was rocky, luke being too busy with hockey and girls to always be there for you. as for you, you were still one of his biggest supporters. it was in that long list of promises you guys made when you were seven. 'we promise to always be there for each other no matter what.'
college was rocky, you barely saw luke, heard from him, it was hard on you.
chances are, tonight, you've already got plans and chances are i will talk myself to sleep again
you cried every night, seeing pictures of luke at parties with girls while you were never invited. you felt invisible to him now, your mom and ellen called every day, they knew how much love you have for luke, they knew it from the moment you slipped and fell on the ice and luke helped you up, the moment your spark in your eyes grew.
and the voices say, "you are not the exception you will never learn your lesson"
that spark was now slowly fading away. you really thought you had a chance being his best friend that maybe, just maybe he'd be in love with you too.
don't know what to call this situation but i know i can't call you mine
the whole first semester of freshman year went by really fast, meaning it was now time for winter break, one of your favorite seasons. luke was still radio silence, you both always spent winter together, guess he's too famous for you now, another promise broken, 'we promise to never forget each other, no matter how famous we get.'
but goodbye screamin' in the silence and the voices in my head are tellin' me why
when ellen and your mother came down to visit they held a little gathering with jack, quinn, luke and his friends.
the gathering was a mess.
"yo moose who's this girl in your baby pictures." one of his teammates had brought up.
"oh her, she's just an old friend." he had replied, 'old friend.' that hurt to hear, you were no longer apart of his life.
cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings i'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
luke didn't know you were there, too busy with his new girlfriend and teammates. but you heard it all, you see it all, it was heartbreaking, quinn saw it all though. quinn was always second closest to you, being that person you looked up to, he was the first person you ever confessed you had a crush to luke on.
"it hurts quinny, it hurts so much, i feel like a ghost to him. i thought we would've happened i thought all the signs i gave him would've been enough for him to catch on. i feel so stupid" you sobbed into quinns chest, hos heart breaking for you.
"shh its okay, my brothers an idiot, please don't feel like stupid, it's not your fault angel" quinn rubbed your back softly as you sat there and cried yourself to sleep.
foolish one sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love they ain't never gonna come and thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out foolish one
you woke up the next morning devastated. maybe in another universe it could've happened, but right now its time to piece yourself back together. you couldn't face watching your spark keep fading over someone who no longer is present in your life.
when all is said and done, he just wasn't the one no, he just wasn't the one
for you, luke will always be your past present and future, but right now he is not what is needed in your life, mayne one day he'll come back to his senses but for the time being self-love is the best healing.

Foolish One lyrics
My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head
And the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson"
Foolish one
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
You know how to keep me waitin'
I know how to act like I'm fine
Don't know what to call this situation
But I know I can't call you mine
And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
'Cause when my head is on your shoulder
It starts thinkin' you'll come around
And maybe, someday, when we're older
This is something we'll laugh about
Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson"
Foolish one
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain't never gonna come
You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out
Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands
Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?"
Oh, you haven't written me or called
But goodbye screamin' in the silence
And the voices in my head are tellin' me why
'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
And you will say you had the best of intentions
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
Foolish one
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain't never gonna come
You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out, oh-oh, oh, oh
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh
La-la-la-la-la
Ain't never gonna come
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
Foolish one
Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love
They ain't never gonna come
And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out
Foolish one
The day is gonna come for your confessions of love
When all is said and done, he just wasn't the one
No, he just wasn't the one

Mean lyrics
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well, you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down, trying to block you out
'Cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big, loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumblin' on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic
And alone in life, and mean
And mean, and mean, and mean
But someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Songs Taylor Alison Swift wrote for Castiel the gay angel, specifically (in no particular order) :
Say Don't Go (!!!!!!! Destiel song of all time: I say I love you, you said nothing back... I would stay forever if you say "don't go", but you won't, but you won't, but you won't.)
Sparks Fly (you're the kind of reckless that should send me running... and you stood there in front of me, just close enough to touch... get me with those green eyes!!)
Don't Blame Me (!!! For you, I would fall from grace just to touch your face)
hoax (your faithless love is the only hoax I believe in)
It's Nice to Have a Friend
I Knew You Were Trouble
Labyrinth Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? (godstiel arc)
Castles Crumbling (post-godstiel arc)
Wildest Dreams (Heaven can't help me now.. He's so tall and handsome as hell)
State of Grace
Foolish One (I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring)
Wonderland (Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?)
I Almost Do (whenever he ghosts Dean even though he doesn't want to but does it anyway because he thinks it's for the best)
Guilty as Sin? (the fantasizing about a man you've never touched but want so badly, the guilt of having all these thoughts, the religious imagery 👌🏻 chef's kiss)
My Boy Only Breaks his Favorite Toys (he was my best friend, and that was the worst part... cause he took me out of my box, stole my tortured heart, left all these broken parts )
You All Over Me

electric touch.
just relax, it'll be okay.
i've got my money on things going badly.
got a history of stories ending sadly.
still hoping that the fire won't burn me.
this could either break my heart or bring it back to life.
your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life.
i want you now.
i've been left in the rain, lost and pining.
trying hard not to look like i'm trying.
every time i tried hard for love, it fell apart.
i've grown accustomed to sleeping alone.
maybe the stars align and maybe i call you mine.
maybe the moment's right.
when emma falls in love.
this one could go wrong.
she's the kind of book that you can't put down.
all the bad boys would be good boys if they only had a chance to love her.
i wish i was her.
she takes on the pain and bears it on her own.
she won't walk away unless she knows she absolutely has to leave.
she won't lose herself in love the way that i did.
his whole world's about to change.
i can see you.
i spend my time trying not to feel it.
what would you do if i went to touch you now?
what would you do if they never found us out?
i could see you up against the wall with me.
i can see you.
something's changed.
they kept watchful eyes on us.
it's best that we move fast and keep quiet.
you won't believe half the things i see inside my head.
wait till you see half the things that haven't happened yet.
meet me tonight.
i could see you being my addiction.
you can see me as a secret mission.
i will start behaving myself.
castles crumbling.
i had an empire in a golden age.
i was held up so high.
i used to be great.
they used to cheer when they saw my face.
i fear i have fallen from grace.
i feel like my castle's crumbling down.
i watch all my bridges burn to the ground.
i will just let you down.
you don't wanna know me now.
i held that grudge till it tore me apart.
power went to my head.
i sit alone behind walls of regret.
i don't know how it could've ended this way.
people look at me like i'm a monster.
never wanted you to hate me.
foolish one.
my cards are on the table.
you've already got plans.
chances are i will talk myself to sleep again.
you give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high.
you are not the exception.
you will never learn your lesson.
i know how to act like i'm fine.
i can't call you mine.
i will do my best to seem bulletproof.
how could i not see the signs?
you got her on your arm and me in the wings.
i'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring.
maybe i will finally learn my lesson.
timeless.
the kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime.
i know that you and i would've found each other in another life.
you still would've turned my head even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944
you still would've been mine.
we would have been timeless.
i believe that we were supposed to find this.
even in a different life, you still would've been mine.
i'd die for you in the same way.
the story started when you say 'hello'.
sometimes there's no proof, you just know.
you're always gonna be mine.
i'm gonna love you when our hair is turning gray.
oh my, we really were timeless.

Battle Of The Bridges: Round 2
Tumblr media
Castles Crumbling
My foes and friends watch my reign end
I don't know how it could've ended this way
Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
People look at me like I'm a monster
Now they're screamin' at the palace front gates
Used to chant my name
Now they're screaming that they hate me
Never wanted you to hate me
Foolish One
Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands
Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?"
Oh, you haven't written me or called
But goodbye screamin' in the silence
And the voices in my head are tellin' me why
'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
And you will say you had the best of intentions
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson

Taylor Swift Wolfstar songs day 23
Hey, I’m feeling better today! So today’s song and analysis doesn’t suck! Anyways, todays song is Foolish One, Speak Now from the vault. It is pov Remus, who is convinced that Sirius will never love him back while Sirius tries in vain to convince himself he is straight.
My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
Remus knows that everyone probably knows how he feels about Sirius, everyone except Sirius that is. He can’t tell how Sirius feels about him, but he know that he is probably thinking about some girl the way Remus thinks about him. But Sirius has given remus too many long looks for him to let it go. 
Foolish one
Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
That ain't never gonna come
Remus knows he’s stupid, always waiting or looking for signs he knows he won’t see.
You know how to keep me waitin'
I know how to act like I'm fine
Don't know what to call this situation
But I know I can't call you mine
Sirius somehow always keeps Remus wondering, he always goes just a little too far for Remus to think they are just friends. Remus doesn’t know what to do or how to react. All he knows for sure is that Sirius isn’t his.
And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
'Cause when my head is on your shoulder
It starts thinkin' you'll come around
And maybe, someday, when we're older
This is something we'll laugh about
Remus does his best to act like he’s not in love with Sirius, to not let him know. But all of his casual touches make his stupid heart flutter. Remus knows it’s delusional but he wonders if they might end up together after all
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson"
But Remus knows he is not special, he is no different to Sirius then James or Peter. He will never give up his stupid hope, he can’t.
Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
And you will say you had the best of intentions
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
It kills Remus to see Sirius with his girlfriends though, because even when Sirius is with a girl he still pushes just a little too far past the just friends zone. But at the end of the day the girl is who gets Sirius. Remus jokes one day he will stop being in love with someone who doesn’t love him back.
Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love
They ain't never gonna come
And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out
Foolish one
Remus can’t help it though, waiting to see if Sirius will chose him. Hoping he could be the one. He knows it stupid, but he can’t let his hope go.

Lyrics under the cut
Never Grow Up    
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home Remember the footsteps, remember the words said And all your little brother's favorite songs I just realized everything I have is, someday, gonna be gone
Foolish One    
Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?" Oh, you haven't written me or called But goodbye screamin' in the silence And the voices in my head are tellin' me why 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring And you will say you had the best of intentions And maybe I will finally learn my lesson

most byler song in ur opinion 🫢 (also we should be besties)
AHHHH! I die for this question! (Also we should be Besties <3)
I think looking at Byler from Wills perspective the song that fits them the most is Foolish One by Taylor Swift. It was literally written for Will. Some lyrics from the bridge:
“Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?" Oh, you haven't written me or called But goodbye screamin' in the silence And the voices in my head are tellin' me why
'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring And you will say you had the best of intentions And maybe I will finally learn my lesson.”
Mikes pov is a tougher one for me to pick. I’m gonna go with what’s on his playlist and say Are ‘Friends’ Electric? (By Tubeway Army) Trees by McCafferty is also one I think brushes on his internalized homophobia.
And for an overall Byler song I’m probably gonna say my favorite song Boys Don’t Cry by The Cure. Will has a poster of it in the show so I have tons of theories about lyrics alluding to him and Mikes relationship in st4, but I can get into a more depth post about that later. The thing is, that song works from both of their perspectives and while I think it’s a little more Mike than Will, it still works really really well with both of their stories.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTION BESTIE!!!

Billie propaganda!
Brave fierce woman. She'll face down two SUVs full of gangsters with a shotgun over her arm to protect her children, marry the man who's taking care of her children the better to take care of her children, realize she actually wants to be married to him properly, give up drugs for the sake of her children, read the Bible for the sake of her children... oh, and she'll help rescue domestic abuse victims:
(Although there is a language warning on it)
Riser sneers. "Pathetic loser. Only a weak man pushes around women and children," he says disgustedly. Billie says, “I know her. Hang on…” and starts down the aisle after where they’ve disappeared to. Riser promptly follows, staying a few feet behind. The family has stopped by the cheese case. The woman is once again holding the baby as she inspects the options, the man leaning on the buggy handle snickering at something on his phone. “Lily! Hey!” Billie catches them up with a few long-legged strides. “Didn’t recognize you at first with the crap all over you. How you been? Your little guy is sure a cutie.” Billie reaches across to squeeze his shoe. He shrinks and draws his foot away, eyeing her warily. Lily casts a nervous glance back at the gangbanger, who has looked up with a dark scowl. "We've been okay," she mutters, eyes sliding away from Billie's. "It's good to see you but we're in a rush today. I'll call you soon." She smiles at the baby as she doesn’t often, her teeth white and broad and straight, and says to Lily, letting her hand fall, “Lost my phone. You living at home?” "No," Lily mumbles. "My parents... no, I've been... living with Dallas." Billie darts him a look. “Okay. Good to see you, Lil. We’re just home now. Come on by sometime if you’re ever bored.” Lily hunches and turns back to the cheese. "Yeah, thanks. Maybe I will," she mutters. Billie’s eyes roam between them as she turns back to Riser. She says when they’re out of earshot, “I don’t think I like that one bit.” ...
At the checkout Billie tries to nudge Riser away from the card reader. “You don’t have to pay for everything, you know.” Riser refuses to be budged. "Sure I do," he says cheerfully, pulling out his wallet, "that's why I'm here." A slap rings out across the checkout area, followed by a baby's sharp cry and a woman's shrill voice. "Are you SERIOUS!" “That is not why you’re here! That’s the most ridiculous—“ She turns rather abruptly to look across the checkout at the sudden commotion. Riser turns on his heel, hand going for his pocket. Across the way, Dallas, furious and snarling something nasty, manhandles the wailing toddler into the buggy as Lily lunges at his arm. Cries of shock erupt around the corral as Dallas flings the woman over his shoulder and she starts screaming in panic. "Help! Somebody help me!" Billie starts toward them. A blur of black leather and pale hair passes her and Riser is standing three inches in front of the man and his struggling captive. "Might want to put her down, buddy," he says pleasantly. Dallas snarls and his free hand goes for his pocket and Riser's fists flash like lightning. He catches Lily, sobbing in terror, as Dallas falls back on the floor clutching nose and chin. Lily wriggles free and snatches up her child, clutching him close to her chest and putting the buggy between herself and the men. Across the way, a yellow-vested manager is muttering rapidly to a police dispatcher on the phone. Billie sidles wide and rounds the cart and gets her arm around Lily’s shoulders, ignoring her flinch. “Let’s go, Lil. We’re going. We’re leaving, right now. Nikki…” Nikki’s already beside her. Billie starts to chivvy Lily toward the door, keeping her arm firm around her shoulders. “Keys?” Billie calls, and snags them neatly when Riser holds them out at arm's length as they pass, not taking his eyes off of Dallas, who is slowly rising to his feet. "If you think you're leaving with them, you little *****-" he starts, only to cut off with a mouthful of fist. "I'll be out in a minute," Riser says pleasantly to the womenfolk. "Just gotta do mop-up first." Billie has Lily, Nikki, and the baby in the truck when Riser comes out, and she’s leaning against the front bumper in her coat, eyes watchful across the parking lot.

"I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring/And you will say you had the best of intentions"
Kinda funny how there are recent HS TR engagement rumours
Do you think Harry is rejecting TS this time? Seems like she's begging for him to do something
I think those tabloids are still just running with the engagement rumors from that ring she wore to the BAFTAS the fans were going crazy about. Its clickbait. Remember they said the same with OW. But it is interesting that the surprise songs were about that. Probably cause those rumors did come out. She’s probably letting him know she saw the rumors. But this morning LK posted not long after surprise songs & seemed really happy.

idk if you've heard the song Foolish One but the bridge is soooo canary coded cause like
''Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
And you will say you had the best of intentions
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson'
it reminds me of her seeing john again and it breaks my heart and fuels my anger at john and the 141 everryyy time. and the way she yells 'finally learn my lesson' makes me imagine canarys desperation and anger when she's so close to giving up and giving in to graves and marakov but she resists just to protect a man who, from her perspective, has replaced her without a second thought and shes like WHENNNN WILL I LEARN MY LESSON AHHHH. this fic has burrowed in my head and laid a nest i swear
so i do not like taylor swift and haven't heard this song, but i listened to it just for you and gotta agree those lyrics very much scream canary to me, esp from that last chapter!!
canary's in such a heartbreaking situation right now, because she's done so much, actively put herself in harm's way, is holding out trying to survive, all for a man who she thought loved her. she's gone through so much in the past four months holding out hope that price wouldn't turn her in, that the 141 wouldn't betray her like that knowing what they know about her. and then all of that hope, any optimism she may have had about her situation is gone in an instant the moment she sees price and that other woman, and he's being friendly with the man who's done this to her, who's allowed this to happen to her.
now, she's right back where she started; trapped in a relationship with a man who doesn't care about her, who's actively using her to get to her money, her power, her estate. and she's left wondering if that's all it was to price, if that's all any relationship she'll ever have will be.
aaaa i could talk about this all day, i'm so glad you guys let me ramble like this 😂

when Taylor sang “I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring” in Foolish One I went insane.
I mean, imagine Steve Harrington x Reader. She is Eddie’s neighbor and that’s how they met for the first time. He’s instantly whipped and they have that cute idiots to lovers dynamic where they’re both in love with each other but don’t say anything about it because they feel like the feeling isn't mutual.
But one day the gang decides to do something about it because they're tired of the longing glances and pining, and they finally confess their love.
It's summer, so they spend all of their free time hanging out together swmming with everyone, and at night they go to Steve's place to spend some quality time alone (if you know what I mean). Everything is amazing, it feels like it's straight out of a movie and Steve's never felt that way before, not even with Nancy.
The thing is, on a random day, Steve's parents arrive unannounced at the house and see Reader with Steve. He's nervous because he know his parents, but he can finally introduce her to them, however they act all weird about it and Reader decides to leave. Then his parents decide to tell him that she's "not good enough for him" because "she's trailer trash". Steve gets angry and all of that, but for some reason that I'm still trying to think of, his relationship with Reader ends up becoming a secret, even for the gang. Everyone thinks they've broken up, but they're still together and seeing each other in secret.
After summer ends, Steve's parents start trying to set him up with this girl from a family that is friends with the Harringtons because she's "the right one for him". Reader's heart breaks.
Steve now has to bring the Girl to the gang's meetings as a façade for his parents, and they're always sitting together during movie nights, she holds his hand, they share secrets at laugh at things they whisper for the other... And Reader is always on the corner looking at them and longing, waiting for those bittersweet hidden moments with Steve, since it's the only thing that she gets.
But, you know, things start to get more serious, Reader gets sadder and sadder every day and Steve doesn't really get why she's feeling that way because they're still together and that's enough for him, but not for her. She wishes for more and at first she felt like it was a selfish thing to want, but she can't do it anymore. They have this huge fight one night and break up.
Steve feels like trash and starts fighting this battle inside of him that's basically "stop to endlessly trying to reach the impossible title of 'The Perfect Son' or lose forever the girl he loves?". He ends up reaching his limit one day after seeing something related to Reader or his parents (again, I still have to think more about it) and there's this whole scene of him confronting his parents and then leaving without waiting for an answer. He goes to Reader's home and they have this whole conversation full of repressed feelings and anger, but also full of love.
And I want them to get back together, but how's everything going to work? How are Steve's parents going to react? And how's Steve and Reader's relationship going to be now that they are aware of the Harringtons feelings towards it? I DON'T KNOW THE ENDING TO MY OWN WIP. BUT IT'S FULL OF ANGST AND PINING AND HEARTACHE AND WHISPERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND DOUBT. And a happy ending because I'm that weak.
