and if i said. kevjean.

[lady-forest-1142]

I NEED to talk about how chloe or sam or sophia or marcus by taylor swift is a kevjean song, so settle in. I'm kinda running with the idea that the verses are v kevin coded and the chorus & bridge is jean. behold.

Your hologram stumbled into my apartment Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus And I just watched it happen not to start this off dark but with these two it's kinda hard to avoid - I don't remember if kevin knew about jean's abuse at the hands of the backliners/grayson, but he def knew about jean's reputation as a whore and pretty obviously didn't/couldn't stop it As the decade would play us for fools And you saw my bones out with somebody new Who seemed like he would've bullied you in school And you just watched it happen swap out 'he' for 'she' and you've got kevin leaving jean and dating thea, which I am still dying for more info on - how was thea affected by the nest? what part did she play in jean's treatment? I think it's fair to say that she couldn't have been entirely blameless. what does jean think about her actions in retrospect, and her connection to kevin?

If you want to break my cold, cold heart Just say, 'I loved you the way that you were' If you want to tear my world apart Just say you've always wondered this is v jean coded to me. I could be kinda projecting here, but I feel like it would be easier to imagine that kevin didn't feel as deeply for him as jean did for him (cause regardless of if you view them as romantic or platonic jean felt A Whole Lot), than to think that kevin did care for him, did feel something for that scared little boy whispering french in the darkness, and left him anyway.

You said some things that I can't unabsorb You turned me into an idea of sorts You needed me but you needed drugs more And I couldn't watch it happen okay I'll admit that I can't make the "you needed drugs more" line work, but! "you turned me into an idea of sorts" is a defensive shield a guilty person could throw up - jean turning kevin into an idea and then being hurt when he made the very human decision to run away and never look back I changed into goddesses, villains and fools Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules All to outrun my desertion of you And you just watched it IF THIS IS NOT THE MOST KEVJEAN THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN HELLO I think it speaks for itself

If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh Down that passage in time Back to the moment I crashed into you Like so many wrecks do Too impaired by my youth To know what to do they were both children in the nest, frightened and hurt, and even though kevin was older than jean he still was too young not to make mistakes, not to hurt him by accident, not to think of anything besides his own needs in his darkest moment

So if I sell my apartment And you have some kids with an internet starlet Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon like it never happened Could it be enough to just float in your orbit Can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses Cooler in theory but not if you force it To be, it just didn't happen here is where the jean perspective comes in again. I have so so many feelings about this but I'll try to be coherent - jean is still haunted by kevin, by his lingering attachment to him, by how he still cannot forgive kevin for leaving him. to see kevin living a relatively normal life outside the nest, while jean still can barely function day to day largely because of the consequences he received from kevin's actions, cuts him deeply. kevin has more concerns now than jean - jean has nothing other than his trauma and kevin (at least at the beginning of trc). if jean moves on, if he lets go of the nest, if he accepts his place on the outskirts of kevin's life, would that be enough? or will he always be pulled back, wondering what could have been?

I almost never write out my song analysis and most of this was thought of at 2am so idk if it makes any sense but I had to get it out

(from my main because it won't let me ask as @leroiestmortvivelareine)

Oooh weird ask game please - 4, 22, 26!

PS you got me listening to 'The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace' after you mentioned it last time and I'm addicted, it's so evocative and cinematic. If it isn't on a film soundtrack it should be.

4. cryptid i believe in.

oh mothman, the biggest bestest moth that ever mothed.

22. what type of person am i?

oh wow i didn't even see that question. there really are some weird ones in here huh?

well...my friends have always said that i'm very chaotic and that they often worry that i will get into trouble if they take their eyes off me for too long. but really, i'm just an average weirdo.

26. a scenario i've replayed many times?

boringly, i rehearse saying "yes hello, i would like to (insert really normal and common request made over the phone here)" just about every single time i make a call.

P.S. OH MY GOD YES. EXCELLENT. i love The Amazing Devil. found out about them cuz joey batey who's half the duo plays jaskier in the witcher and there was a point where i listened to his performance of "Burn, Butcher, Burn" on repeat for 3 days. but yea the line "cuz i've been here so many times before / don't you think i look pretty curled up on this bathroom floor," goes so hard. their entire discography is great. lots of insane lines. which reminds me, "Ruin" is kind of a kevjean song: "We didn't talk, we made universes / Out of bitten lips and broken hands". and "Inkpot Gods" is something of a jeannee song: "And to those gods, I will speak bluntly 'We've an accord, if you ever touch or harm him /Please, rest assured that you might not fear a man/ But to a woman, by the end, you'll kneel and plead'"

DAYURNO HELP. i cannot for the life of me figure out the keremy dynamic out of kerejean. my brain won’t allow it to compute. it’s like making 2 barbies kiss bc you don’t have a ken but instead of turning into a beautiful lesbian awakening it’s just…..banging plastic til you get bored and bring out the guillotine.

i’ve always got the kevjean and jerejean parts down. but my prompter for daylight fest wants kerejean and i’ll be DAMNED if i cannot give it to them!!! i want to provide!!!

i need your tips, O beholder of kerejean wisdom.

(p.s. i asked anonymously bc i still want to keep my prompt as secret as possible until it’s posted)

ANON............................ i understand you deeply i think writing ANYTHING with jeremy at any point is so hard because where he stands in canon right now he's literally nothing girl he's lines... he's words... he's nothing at all.... i am no beholder of kerejean wisdom i am as much of a newbie as you are and probably even worse but i'll give it the old college try for you

for me the most interesting part of writing k/jr is exactly that newness; the fact that they have been loving rivals for a long time but not properly friends; having an idealized version of the other but not actually knowing any of the minutiae of the other's personality. i said earlier that i think the keremy song of all time is 'guilty pleasure' by chappell roan and i stand by it! i think k/jr is, at first, less about Feelings and more about the physical attraction, if that makes sense? with most kevin ships we part from the emotional side because almost everyone he's shipped with has a strong emotional connection to him, but for k/jr i've always felt that the physicality comes first and then the rest. we joke about kevin's exy crush on jeremy but i think that's one of the easiest ways to actually conceptualize feeling attracted to jeremy, and i think kevin definitely would see it that way because he has no other framework to understand it

that being said i think the most fun characterization for jeremy (to me!) is him taking a hammer to kevin's preconceptions and being like hm. well. you could try it if you want to! i called them a budding lesbian friendship slowly escalating into something more AND I STAND BY IT...... i think jeremy is an unstoppable force and kevin is not an unmoveable object... the way k/jr works for me is similar to how k/t works for me, which is that jeremy pokes and prods at kevin's worldview both by existing near him but also by actively pushing kevin and trying to find where his limits are. this is of course entirely sexual but also not! kevin says 'the world is like this' and jeremy says 'it doesn't have to be', kevin says 'the world is a bad place' and jeremy says 'then change it!' and so on and so forth. i like them :)

i have some conversations noted down for their relationship in my first time / first light fic so here's a few i think encapsulate a little bit of what i mean?

and here's a funny one to help you cope with that last one:

i hope it helped!!!!! somewhat! but honestly we are getting some kevin/jeremy interactions in the daybreak stadium so i think you can just sit around and wait for some canon dynamics!
