#king of wishful thinking

[mrsfoone]

🎶I'll overthink it all, I know I will

I just know my ship's still sinking.

And I'll tell myself, "Don't overthink!"

But I'm the King of Overthinking🎶

Some disc jockey had the audacity to play Taylor Swift on the oldies station and I wanted to swerve my car into oncoming traffic. Do words not mean anything anymore? I guess every single sond is "technically" an oldy because they were all recorded in the past; there aren't too many songs from the future, and every time a song is released in the present it's suddenly from the past! What has society come to when they follow up King of Wishful Thinking (1990) with Shake It Off (2014) and pretend they're both oldies?

Context: Johnny B. Goode was released in 1958 and was considered an oldy 27 years later in 1985, so I'm more than comfortable calling a 33 year old song an oldy, sure, but a 9 year old song? NINE?!? Nine years is considered old now?

Put in the tags whether you make a distinction between "oldy" and "classic." I could be swayed towards calling Shake It Off a classic, MAYBE, if the argument was convincing and it came from someone whose opinion I respect, but I refuse to call it an oldy until at least 2030, and even that's pushing it.

King of Wishful Thinking

Song by Go West

I don't need to fall at your feet

Just 'cause you cut me to the bone

And I won't miss the way that you kiss me

We were never carved in stone

If I don't listen to the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself

I'll get over you, I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

(King of wishful thinking)

I am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give in to my blues

That's not how it's gonna be

And I deny the tears in my eyes

I don't wanna let you see, no

That you have made a hole in my heart

And now I've got to fool myself

I'll get over you, I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking (I'll get over you, I know I will)

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking, yeah (king of wishful thinking)

Oh no, I will never, never shed a tear for you

I'll get over you (I know I will)

If I don't listen to the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself

I'll get over you, I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking (king of wishful thinking)

I'm the king of wishful thinking

[itsgettinghardtoknowwhatsreal]

I don't need to fall at your feet

Just because you cut me to the bone

And I won't miss the way that you kiss me

We were never carved in stone

And if I don't listen to the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself

--------------------

I'll get over you, I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I am the king of wishful thinking

[jpcg]

[Verse 1]

I don't need to fall at your feet

Just 'cause you cut me to the bone

And I won't miss

The way that you kiss me

We were never carved in stone

If I don't listen

To the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself

[Chorus]

I'll get over you

I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself

I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I am the king of wishful thinking

[Verse 2]

I refuse to give in to my blues

That's not how it's going to be

And I deny the tears in my eyes

I don't want to let you see

No

That you have made a hole in my heart

And now I've got to fool myself

[Chorus]

I'll get over you

I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself

I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you

I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself

I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

[Bridge]

I will never, never

Shed a tear for you

I'll get over you

If I don't listen to the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself

[Chorus]

I'll get over you

I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself

I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you

I know I will

You made a hole in my heart

But I won't shed a tear for you

I'll be the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you

I'll pretend my heart's still beating

'Cause I've got no more tears for you

I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you

I know I will

You made a hole in my heart

And I'll tell myself

I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I don't know what I miss more, having free time to draw or these fellas

The raven cycle!!!!

Oh I love these guys. Everything about these books, I want to draw them soooo much more (I probably will)!!

Guys I'm back-

It has been a nightmare lately this is the only thing I managed to draw in weeks? Finals and uni stuff that's taking all of my time and energy, slowly turning me into a cafeinated slug (worst part is caffeine doesn't even have an effect on me? I only drink coffee for the TASTE can you imagine). Anyway the rush won't be over until end of January but hopefully I'll be able to ignore the stress and draw anyway :)

One thing I genuinely think the fandom forgets or underestimates is just how weird Neil is. Like we paint him to be this carismatic, flashy, cocky bad boy, but in reality he's stingy, skittish, balks at anything more personal then his thoughts on Exy and Cannot for the life of him socialize. Like in the Raven King, right after Seth dies, he straight up goes:

"Neil had to patch things up with [Allison] somehow, but he didn't know where to start. He'd never been good at winning people over. Someone like Allison wasn't likely to be his first success. "

Neil's spent his life living on the outskirts of "average" life. Ergo, he's cagey and flighty and so far removed from normal that even among the Foxes he'll always be a little unpredictable and odd. And you know what, good for him; we all deserve an antisocial introverted asshole to raly behind.

It Never Happens Au party portraits lets go!!!!

(designs/extra comments under cut)

I have no clue how level progression actually works in Isat so don't mind the numbers too much. Loop's stats are taken directly from their bossfight though.

Portraits made using kongkrog's isat profile customizer.

The sad man, after getting to a town and buying some now clothes and having a shower. He's still generally melancholic, but cheers up quite a bit. Has a bad tendency to poke his nose where he shouldn't. Too shy to ask people's names when he forgets, so calls them by their titles instead. Big fan of poetry.

Nille! She jumped at the chance to go on an advent with Bonnie, but has mixed opinions on Loop. Very boisterous in conversation , but usually sticks to herself. Uncontrollably observant and with good intuition, can read people and situations very accurately. Figured out that "thinking really hard abou what you want" when crafting leads to a higher success rate (and the smell of sugar, for some reason?), so her creations stick together even when they look incredibly unstable.

RADIOAPPLE COTL AU!

"What do you do when a mere scapegoat becomes so enamored with the God Of Death that they actually look forward to dying again and again just to see Him?"

"What do you do when said God Of Death yearns for the sacrificial lamb's PERMANENT DEATH and this very thought is actually the reason He smiles at them?"

"But it's only because He wants to own them FOREVER the only way He knows how??? ...For His Vessel's soul to be HIS to keep."

Basically, this is my COTL Radioapple AU idea! (NOTE: Read it all over again! This time, just the yellow highlighted words for a different experience and perspective on things! 😉 Trust me on this.) -Bubbly💙

“Bring her home, Mance” but away from Winterfell, because the Starklings are each other’s home not some castle

It's all fun and games until the colors hurt my feelings.

Alexa, play the New Found Glory version of "King of Wishful Thinking"

“No other male would be a a fairer ruler” i can name like 7 other people.

“Prythian would be blessed to have such leaders” a guy who can barely run his court and his inexperienced 20 y/o gf leading a nation would obviously be such a blessing 🙏🙏.
