Jeff Satur Cinematic Universe - A WIP Primer
aka, Jeffcest. This is a work-in-progress, compiling info for the JeFFFFFFFFest 2024 exchange. Please feel free to add and amend!
Overview: Jeff Satur's music videos tell stories with interesting characters. Over time, some of those characters have reappeared and begun interacting with each other. Here are a few of the most common you’ll run into!
Sunshine - gifset by perths
Sunshine made his first appearance in the Dum Dum MV. He has blue hair and “Sunshine Moonshine Love Die” tattooed on his neck and chest. Sunshine later appeared in the Space Shuttle No. 8 Asia Tour Promo Trailer in a pale blond wig alongside another Jeff.
When Jeff was called on to do a sexy version of Dum Dum on Chuang Asia, he said he was too shy and that he would have “another [him]” perform it instead; he performed as Sunshine. During Space Shuttle No. 8 in Bangkok concerts, he had a body double in Sunshine’s wig onstage with him, and sang ‘Stranger’ to him. Sunshine also appeared in projections during the concerts, along with the quote:
Sunshine noun.  a god who honestly feels emotions, never lies to themselves, and will stay forever in your soul.
Jeff confirmed that Sunshine and Moonshine are different characters with similar appearances. In Dum Dum, one of them has a metal attachment over his arm when they appear onscreen together. There’s a third Jeff, sometimes referred to as ‘Businessman Jeff’, who is killed and then gasps back to life at the end of the video.
Ghost & Husband - gifset by guzhufuren
Also called Clone, Ghost appears as the titular character in the Ghost MV, who is revealed to be a clone of another Jeff (commonly ‘Husband’ or ‘Military Jeff’). Clone/Ghost has implants down his spine. He was captured by the military (specifically, Military Jeff) and freed by Military Jeff's Wife at the end of the video.
In the Yellow Leaf MV, it’s revealed that Clone/Ghost doesn’t age. He still has the same appearance many decades later, after Husband has died. Husband/Military Jeff is implied to have spent time during the Ghost MV in outer space (there’s a rocket launch at the beginning of the video). There's a love triangle between Husband, Clone, and their Wife (she accepts a different wedding/engagement ring from each of them).
Rain God - gifset by laurenkmyers
Jeff held a fanart contest for Halloween 2023, and the winning entry depicted him as a rain god. He posted a photo/video shoot on his Instagram dressed to match the fanart. There was a joke on the Black Tie set that Jeff was a rain god, because the rain for the courtyard scene began when it was time to film and ended once they finished shooting it.
Black Tie - gifset by guzhufuren
Jeff in Black Tie is sometimes referred to as ‘Black’ or 'Red' depending on what he's wearing. He has a bow tie tattooed across his throat. He appears in black-and-white when alone, and in color when shown with other people–which includes his own reflections in mirrors. He may also be able to control other people's movements when they're shown 'mirroring' him.
Lucid - gifset by guzhufuren
Lucid is the titular character in the Lucid MV. He might be one of the fae folk, or a lost boy from Neverland. He appears injured and wild in someone’s bedroom…or possibly their dream. He has long hair and anachronistic clothes, with a cut across the bridge of his nose. At the end of the video he’s seen at the base of a tree (possibly dead), almost completely covered in flowers.
Steal the Show - gifset by whitecerberus
Jeff appeared along with Shaun in the Steal the Show MV. They have a passionate rivalry and/or flirtation. There’s a lot of imagery in this video, including Jeff hanging off a giant birdcage which Shaun is separately seen trapped inside. This character has been referred to as ‘Thief’ and ‘Passion.’ Shaun’s character is referred to as ‘Reason.’
00008 - gifset by guzhufuren
In an effort to give his fans heart palpitations, Jeff released the Dum Dum Unchained Live MV. He appears chained on his knees in a basement or warehouse, wearing a lace blindfold, with finger-shaped bruises around his neck. There are additional bruises all over him, and a tattoo that reads ‘00008’ below his left collarbone. The number is now believed to refer to Jeff’s first album, Space Shuttle No. 8.
SS8 - gifset by guzhufuren
The Space Shuttle No. 8 Asia Tour came with its own promo trailer, in which a dark-haired Jeff and a pale-haired Sunshine (from Dum Dum) face off on a train in outer space, which has “departed the Saturn hemisphere” and is “now en route into the unknown.” On the train are references to many of Jeff’s previous songs and videos, including Highway (a flower), Loop (a clock), Lucid (a flower crown), Black Tie (a photo on the front page of a newspaper with the headline “Jeff Satur: Escape…From Earth!”), Complicated (a bloody hammer), Fade (a record player), and Comedy (playing in the background).
Other Jeffs
During the Space Shuttle No. 8 in Bangkok concerts, Jeff wore a black feather cape that spread into wings for his cover of ‘Feeling Good.’ (You can see a glimpse of Bird Jeff, as well as his body double Sunshine, in this Est Cola video.)
The Fade MV shows him being reincarnated through several different time periods, always connected to the same person, up to the present day. (In the present, his name is Jeff, and hers is Trinity.)
The Scar MV with bodyslam shows him levitating into the scene, and at the end he crosses into a portal. There’s a lot of imagery in this video as well.
For his Siam Halloween Concert 2023, Jeff dressed up as a vampire, in a corset with blue contact lenses and fangs.
During The Kingdoms concert, he was referred to as the ‘King of Darkness’, mentioned being in hell, and was shown in promotional materials and projections with a (small) eagle.
Additional Jeffs include (but are not limited to) the astronaut in a space bar in the Far MV with Silvy, the caged fallen angel in Law of Attraction from Call Me By Fire, the imprisoned/enthralled therapy patient in Animal World from Call Me By Fire, and the bystander caught up in gang-related violence in the Complicated MV.

Joyce and Buffy are sitting on their porch. JOYCE: Do you wanna rent a movie tonight? BUFFY: Sounds like fun. JOYCE: Just nothing with horror in it. Or romance. Or men. BUFFY: I guess we're 'Thelma and Louise'ing it again.

2023: A Year in Review
tagged by the wonderful @weiwuz thank you!!
rules: link your favourite and/or most popular post from each month of this year (it's totally fine to skip months and tag some CCs you love!)
i'm going to link more than one because i feel like i've improved a lot over this past year as i adapted more to using photopea & explored a lot more when it comes to giffing using it & i'm proud of how far i've come this year! (also you can see when i went from only doing 1 gif a month to like multiple 🤣) apparently i didn't make very many sets in may that aren't in my eyes "boring" 🤣
JANUARY
first love: hatsukoi + terminal by lewloh & julia gartha
kurodachi | cherry magic + moment by jeff satur — for userdramas event 3: beginnings
lan wangji | the untamed (golden core reveal & all the things he said to wwx when he didn't know he was coreless because i love inflicting pain)
FEBRUARY
kodama sakuko | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 4: love
asatsune | reversal orchestra (with a quote by r.m. drake)
MARCH
asatsune | reversal orchestra ep 8
mike chinnarat in midnight museum ep 2 (this one might also be most popular people were rightfully unhinged when they saw this set/him in this drama)
asatsune | reversal orchestra ep 9
core four | brush up life
APRIL
jiang cheng | the untamed — for userdramas event 6: second time to shine
JUNE
takahashi satoru | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 7: identity (it's rainbow coloured what else can i say)
jeff satur lucid mv (aka the set i still kick myself for forgetting i could've used this for userdramas bingo)
wasteland by kang daniel set (another set where i kinda used b&w and didn't hate it also i just love the blending in this set, & the og mv for SOS was like yellow)
JULY
wei wuxian | the untamed — for userdramas get to know me bingo: character
AUGUST
takahashi satoru | koisenu futari — for userdramas event 9: icon
SEPTEMBER
xiyao | the untamed — for userdramas event 10: emotions (i really loved how this one turned out with the transition of the colours & just the colouring in general i really love)
asatsune | reversal orchestra — for userdramas get to know me bingo: relationship (i had a lot of trial and error with this set, it took a whole like 7 months for me to finish it because i kept going back and redoing the colouring because reversal orchestra if you haven't seen it is like literally colour coded yellow/orange, you can also tell it took me this long because this is one of the few sets after like july where i used my old gif size)
OCTOBER
xiyao | the untamed — for userdramas event 11: inspiration
NOVEMBER
songxiao | the untamed — for userdramas event 12 loss (this one is actually probably my favourite set of mine of all time)
yaojing | lost you forever — for asiandramanet nov bingo: animation (fade transition effect used, this one took me a long time to make & it turned out so much better than i expected)
tushan jing | lost you forever — for asiandramanet nov bingo: quote (i'm not a lover of using yellow in my gifsets & i actively tend to avoid it but i wanted to use yellow because i think it embodied the quote well and i surprisingly loved how it turned out)
tang lian | the blood of youth — for asiandramanet nov bingo: blending
DECEMBER
zhening | story of kunning palace — for asiandramanet dec bingo: black & white (b&w is another thing i tend to avoid with my gifsets because i usually dislike the outcome but i really loved how this turned out)
yunqing | reset — for userdramas secret santa + asiandramanet dec bingo: overlay
jinwoo/moeun | tell me that you love me — for asiandramanet dec bingo: free choice (i've been wanting to use this quote for agessss and it was just perf for them & this set has grown on me a lot)
yaojing | lost you forever (ep 33) — for asiandramanet dec bingo: typography (ironically for this what i love about it is the colouring)
jinwoo/moeun | tell me that you love me (ep 9) — for asiandramanet dec bingo: comfort
i'm too lazy to tag people so please feel free to say i tagged you, & if you read the whole of this post ilysm

Oh hey, an ask thing. Can you answer 3, 8, 11, 13, 18, 24, and 25? Also an extra question: what's your favorite thing about the Starbound and Elder Scrolls universes? Oh and what's a favorite lore tidbit from both universes?
Hiya 'Mous, and Happy New Year to you!
From these questions
3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom this year? Which one?
No, I don't think so. Unless I find another open world/ sandbox game to get attached to... I find it quite difficult to write for properties where the story is already all laid out and there's no 'gaps' to exploit.
8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?
I don't know about 'not brave enough' - more like 'never gotten around to it', so perhaps this is the year. In The Ruby Falls, the Modern AU of TES: Oblivion, the Hero of Kvatch gets a massive slash on her back which scars and she hates. The fic would revolve around her going to some shindig, only the high-backed dress she planned has somehow been swapped for a low-back dress. There's panic, there's tears, there's a fix and all is well and the shindig continues, possibly with her acceptance of the scar.
11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes this year?
I keep thinking it would be funny to isekai one OC into a different universe I already write for, ie Mio (fish alien) from Starbound into the TES universe.
I'd also like to try a proper songfic.
13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic? 
I need to get back to recording my podfics. I might also offer/ ask to podfic some others' works.
Sadly I'm not really good at visual arts - the most I can manage are moodboards. I have been tempted to do a stick-figure outline for a comic script I wrote, but I need to finish it first 😅
18. Do you typically post multi-chapters as you write, or finish it all and then start posting? Would you like to change your posting method? 
I have tried posting multi-chapters as I go, and discovered that's a bad flow for me - I often want to go back and edit previous chapters, but I feel that's unfair to anyone who's already read it. So now I prefer making sure I'm happy with a work as a whole and then posting in one go. (Although, for The Ruby Falls, it's been suggested that I post on a schedule once the whole thing has been finished - apparently that's reader-preferred for works over 150k?)
24. By the end of this year, you want your fandom to think of you as “that author who _______.”
"always has such dazzling description - it's almost like you're there!"
25. If you answered questions from this list last year, find your answers and compare your goals to your results. How’d you do?
Sadly I didn't do this game last year, but I did review my 2023 goals in My Year of Writing Review. I managed 2/6...
Bonus 1: what's your favorite thing about the Starbound and Elder Scrolls universes?
In TES, it's the scenery. All the (modernish) TES games are just so, so pretty 😊 My housemate likes to call Oblivion 'horse-riding simulator', because I do have a habit of just trotting around, exploring.
In Starbound, it's actually a game mechanic that I like best. If you build a house and put a deed down, it'll spawn in a tenant. If you build lots of houses, the tenants interact with each other, making little emotes. I just think it's really cute 😄 (and fun to write about).
Bonus 2: what's a favorite lore tidbit from both universes?
In TES, it's that the world is effectively one big lucid dream.
In Starbound, it's that the Glitch (robot people) were created as a simulation and were intended to progress through various stages of industrialization, but the creator left? died? and the Glitch got stuck in a pseudo-medieval state and have never progressed beyond that.
Thanks for the questions! I hope you enjoyed the answers 🧡

Ted Lasso Fanfic Challenge 2024 - December
December’s Challenge:  Dreams & Nightmares!
The Rules: There are none, EXCEPT that your piece must deal with dreaming in some way. Write about a recurring nightmare of Keeley's, or Higgins buying a book about dream interpretation. Consider Jamie getting lost in a daydream, or Henry giggling as he recounts a dream he had last night. Think about Roy becoming determined to master lucid dreaming. Imagine what preoccupies Rupert's nightmares, or Deborah keeping a dream journal so she can discuss them with Tish later. Write about an uncanny dream of Rebecca's happening in real life, or Ted & Beard communicating in their dreams. Consider Nate trying to wake up from a nightmare (but he is already awake), or Sam feeling like he's dreaming when he celebrates a major accomplishment.
Any character, any setting, any premise - anything goes! I’m calling it December’s challenge, but there is absolutely no deadline. And no word limit either - make it a drabble or a one-shot, or the longest multi-chapter you’ve ever written. (I can’t claim to need new things to read these days, but I love multi-chapters all the same). It doesn’t even need to be fic - I’d be thrilled if any of these challenges inspired a gifset or some other form of fanart!
Want to participate but aren’t able to write something at the moment? That’s fine too! Just describe what you’d like to write about for this month’s challenge. I’m curious what ideas all of you have in your heads!
Please add your fic to the AO3 collection HERE, and tag it with Ted Lasso Fanfic Challenge anywhere else you post!
Feel free to check out any of my prompts if you’re looking for inspiration. My Masterpost here is very much a work-in-progress, but I hope to revamp it soon.
Bonus Challenge: Feel like setting an additional challenge for yourself? Send  me an Ask and I’ll give you a character or premise to write about!
Good luck!

I had a horrible nightmare thanks to that drama I watched last night so I've been up since 5 but during the non-scary part of the dream a bunch of old films/TV series creators went 'actually yeah we'll also make popular pairings that fans gave up on becoming canon decades ago canon because why not? It's 2023.' so there was a whole new romcom spinoff focused on Jed and Octavius 🤣
The nightmare was weird because it was clearly just a bunch of elements that I was processing from last night but it fucked me up:
There was a gifset of a character from a 2018 drama on my dash last night, so in the nightmare he held me hostage in my car, which was representative of my worry that my increasingly jam-prone car door won't open in an emergency and also representative of my fear of being betrayed (triggered by the 2018 character who betrayed everyone and the 2023 drama about someone being conned by a lover) and my anxiety about my commute (being a hostage was making me late for work). For some reason he let me take the gun off him, which seems like it should represent feeling in control and having more confidence but when I told him 'I'm stopping this now' I woke up feeling terrified and sick, like I'd just had another panic attack, which has started happening at night 🤔 so maybe that last part was just lucid dreaming rather than symbolism... Maybe jedtavius becoming canon is my equivalent of a spinning top token 😆

Lucid Dreaming by @lilac-lakes
"Esther became an honorary member of The Umbrella Academy when her mother turned up with her on their doorstep at seven. Known as The Wren, Esther, one of the 36 children Reginald failed to adopt, has the power of dream manipulation. She joined the academy to control her powers. Reginald was kinder to her than her siblings due to her mother’s threatening nature and protectiveness. When Five disappears at 13, Esther’s mother deems it too dangerous for her daughter and pulls her of the academy. She isn’t heard from until 17 years later, when Reginald has passed away. History repeats itself and she turns up on The Umbrella Academy’s doorstep, just as timid as she was all those years ago." Pairing: Five/OC Fandom: The Umbrella Academy
In celebration of my past birthday (July 26), I wanted to make gifts for the special people I call friends. Where can I begin with you my dear. I wish time zones weren't a pain cause I LOVE texting you random stuff from our characters to what we did for the day. URGH! I can never say thank you enough for all the times you kept me company and for making me crack up hard on RPs or randomness. Thanks for checking up on Mercy Me and helping me with crucial details because I don't know where I'd be with the story without you. I hope you enjoy your gift and I love you!!!!! I decided to come up with an adult Five because I always wish for Esther and Five to get their happy ending, especially since the events of the series get in the way. I see them both as two individuals whom time is always against, but they never complain about it. URGHHH...they are just so cute!

Omggg my feelings about the guest are so big idk if I can manage to be coherent TT but you did ask for a vomit after all hahah
So true tho aroace gilyoung!!! Honestly when I first watched the show I interpreted their (all 3) relationship as like found family like they're siblings they're best friends they're each others most important person they bicker they care SO MUCH
I was a little disappointed when I saw most if not all the fics about their relationship were romantic but like I take what I can get but your qpr version is sooo appealing yes please
[Slaps roof of Yoon] this guy can fit so much religious conflict/trauma in him!! I love how he fights with his faith and himself and his feelings like OOF and and
And the way when Hwapyung untangled their hands in the water he kept the rosary??? 🥺 like he wanted to take a reminder of what he's leaving/who he's doing this for with him? And then he keeps it when he survives?? Soft.
And Gilyoung so good so true she was probably my favourite from the three she's so headstrong and so caring and at the end she WILL get these guys to take care of themselves if it kills her
And the relationship development between all three, and just the general vibe of the show and the horror. I just love this show so much
omg yah! Gil Young is my absolute fav, hands down.
i love the trio a fckn lot and Choi Yoon will always have a soft spot in my heart (see: poetic suffering) but Gil Young takes the cake. Gil Young is everything! i admire her tenacity so much, the way she persevere and willing to do what's right, even if the law disagrees with her. she's just… S H E ! ! !
i haven't loved a female character so fully and wholeheartedly like this in a while 🥺 she has my heart and my admiration 💖
and, honestly, same… it's kinda sad that romantic fics are so predominant in the fandom… i also see them as found family. like, LITERALLY found each other. like wow… found each other in the first ep and found each other again in the last ep… full circle. fantastic metaphor ✨
anyway, as i said, i label their relationship as qpr only bcs conventional society would demand that they name their relations to one another and people would be like 'u aren't family, y'all aren't in the same family registry' or whatever tf bcs ive come to realize that a lot of people need to process all sort of relationships in relation to romance bcs they don't really understand that love doesn't only refer to romantic love smh
(also, sorry for the mini rant on love… i just hate how allos are dominating the discussion on love and refuse to see love beyond the romantic lense)
then again, i also understand the hetero ships bcs the writer and director be dropping subtle hints of possible Hwa Pyung/Gil Young and Choi Yoon/Gil Young here and there. and Hwa Pyung/Choi Yoon too lol so i can see why they ship Gil Young with the boys but nah, for me she's a kickass aroace that's just tired of all the allos around her haha
and the rosary… the fckn rosary *pterodactyl screeching* HWA PYUNG WEARS THE ROSARY!!!!!!!! i dont think rosaries are meant to be worn but Hwa Pyung just… wearing it??? around his neck????? and it sits over his chest??????? the chest where his heart is meant to be????????? F E E L S P A I N
(also, shameless self promo but i made this gifset of their hands bcs fckn PAIN)
i love Choi Yoon, a massive soft spot for him and, as my fav, i want him to ✨SUFFER✨ i wanna read a fic/meta where the Catholic side of him is explored and explained. im so fascinated by the internal conflict that's caused by his religion but im not educated or aware enough to really understand. i really wanna write a character study fic that explores Choi Yoon as a person but im not well-versed enough in catholicism 🥲 i especially wanna explore his relationship with his hyung bcs i can tell how much he loves his hyung and how much his hyung loves him as well… his hyung was somewhat lucid enough to ask if he was at cram school before he went apeshit and murdered their parents. his hyung still remembered to care for him despite everything. his hyung loves him and im reminded of the way Itachi annihilated the entire Uchiha clan but kept Sasuke alive bcs he couldn't find it in him to killed Sasuke. (sorry about the Naruto segue rip im a weeb can u tell?)
anyway, a question just pops up into my head and that is: how tf does Hwa Pyung managed to still be sane and kind after all the shit Park Il Do put him thru? he's truly such a 'vast' and kind and beautiful character.

DAWN VOICEOVER: Nobody knows who I am. Not the real me. It's like, nobody cares enough to find out. I mean, does anyone ever ask *me* what I want to do with my life? Or what my opinion is on stuff? Or what restaurant to order in from? No. Underline. Exclamation point. Exclamation point, exclamation point. No one understands. No one has an older sister who's a slayer. People wouldn't be so crazy about her if they had to live in the same house with her every single day. Everybody cares what she thinks. Just 'cause she can do backflips and stuff. Like that's *such* a crucial job skill in the real world.

my own brain tricked me so badly in a dream last night 😭 at one point, I saw a gifset of this half ghibli/half prof laytonesque-style film on my phone. four characters were hanging mid-air from a rope. looked kind of like the scene you'd see in a big climax, because they were alternating between these triumphant wide shots of them in the bright night sky, and close ups of the camera panning down them all vertically, grinning in relief. like super detailed, right. it sorta switched to me looking at reviews, about how it was So charming and one of those great underrated hidden gems. and for a moment, the dream got half-lucid, cause I remember feeling like oh, I've seen this, in real life. somebody told me about it once and I forgot all about it. no I didn't it isn't real why would you pull a psyche on me like that :(

Jatp- Perfect Harmony Dissection
Holy Moly this show has taken me by surprise in the best possible way.
I forgot how good Kenny Ortega is... and omg the dynamics in this show are just *chefs kiss* anyway that’s for another post
All of these songs left an impression with me, but Perfect Harmony just got the cogs working in my brain so I wanted to dissect it because I can’t stop thinking about it.
This will be long but I hope people will bear with me.
I found out that Madison and Charlie wrote this one together for the show, so that’s cool. So, even if this is Julie’s fantasy/daydream, it objectively also has “Luke’s” input as well, considering Madison and Charlie were writing with the characters in mind.
The lead up to this song is Julie realising she is falling for Luke, and has Luke on the brain, so she slips up with calling Nick, Luke yadayada significant to say her crush has changed as well blah blah blah.
I first thought it was strange that they are all in black? They weren’t performing for anyone other than for merit. However Black is of course associated with death, mystery etc, but in this context ,with them being “fancy” it deems them as more elegant than anything. I like using this site for colour reference. Please make of it what you will, but I’m sticking with classy and mysterious with this performance.
Then I noticed how Julie and Nick are the centre of attention, plus Nick and Julie seem to improvise? They aren’t doing as the others are. Whether they are meant to or not. I think this is meant to draw parallels, with Nick sliding on the floor and Luke tumbling, then also the lift, how here it’s short and sweet, yet with Julie and Luke there are two and the second is drawn out and more meaningful etc.
I think she must be dancing normally in reality throughout this, but I’ll come back to that later.
So let’s get into this song.
“Step into my world”- I find this interesting because Luke is the one stepping over into hers, but also this is like some “in-between” that they're in;  significant of the Limbo that the guys are currently stuck in and also the fact that Julie is the bridge. The world is probably metaphorical for music as Luke helps re-establish it in Julie and is also the guy where music is his whole world, as he lets all of his emotions out and connects with people. It’s a running theme being called up again. However, you cannot deny the possible connotation of Julie potentially stepping over with them. It’s also ironic as Luke “steps” into Julie’s world “I’m sorry we came into your life” - Luke, ep 1, and literally steps over here.
“Bittersweet love story about a girl”- undeniable. Their story is bittersweet. Impossible to be together; yet have a connection that runs so deep.
But now we see the scenery, and it’s all monochrome and the candles just scream romance, but also to me, of serenity.
I mean even the dancefloor reflects to make it look as if they are dancing on water or in an in between world. The reason why I point out monochrome gives the intention of “black and white” there is a lack of complexity, it is clear about how true their bond is, and to them it isn’t complex. Also I can’t help but think of yin and yang which can also be included here as they balance each other out. Julie yin, Luke yang. This is ironic considering Julie is always symbolised with light and Luke the contrast with a dark and being, you know, dead.
I also came across a gifset of the parallels to dirty dancing that Perfect Harmony dance had, and again, the colours are flipped with the pair which is just... interesting in this instance.
“Shook me to the core  “Voice like an angel, never heard before”- pretty simple, Luke has always been amazed with Julie’s talent, plus a metaphor commonly attached to Julie, being called an angel. He is also calling her unique. Passage of touch.
But then we get the touch. So I think this whole hand passage thing is reflected in the time they tried to hold hands, then the last time and they could then touch. In this instance though it’s like Julie is the one being resurrected. Again, this could be another metaphor of his hand in helping her find her music again, but you cannot overlook the other implications.
So here is where they dance. I am no dance expert, but dance does have it’s own language that I think everyone can interpret, but I will try my best to explain. I also think “harmony” can be a way to express dance partners as well.
“Here in front of me”- I do think this is in reference being able to touch them, but the drawing up to her hands is so interesting because of the eye contact and draw. It’s more intimate.
Then they go into something similar to what the routine is meant to be in reality, but instead they make it like a pulse on the line “they’re shining so much brighter”
I point out a pulse because it’s “living” and it just juxtaposes with who Julie is talking about; the guys.
A twirl and lift on “than I have ever seen”- This is Julie talking about the guys. Ray calls them angels and then at the end of season they literally freaking glow so... (also pronoun change to collective when Julie starts singing)
“Life can be so mean”- ep 8, after Luke told him their demise would be one of three ways, Julie was going to be hurt all over again. Julie and Flynn had an understanding that the world was being cruel when they were discussing it. Also I just feel their dance here is like they are interpreting a rough ride/rollercoaster. They swing arms then tuck and twist.
“But when he goes, I know he doesn’t leave”- Luke will be in her heart, like she found with her Mum. She did let them go, and she understands she will have to do that, but they will live on in her heart.
Also hand over heart, as she “falls” into him and he doesn’t let her fall. That’s just cute.
“The truth is finally breaking through”- either their feelings or just what will be revealed to us. Though they are parted and Luke does the spinning on the ground so I expect a pitfall somewhere along the way (probs Caleb)
But he rolls right back to her
“Two worlds collide when I’m with you”- Well, the fact that they are the living and the dead.. so. Plus in-between. Don’t know how to interpret the dance here, I just like the swishy steps
“A voice is rising so, so high”- how Julie comes out of her shell. Also can’t help but link to the angel motif. Plus, Julie is lifted up, she is the catalyst, she is rising up in fame really. Luke is one of the people who helps her soar as well.
“We come to life, when we’re in perfect harmony”- Julie always being told she looks “alive again” when she’s doing music again.  Music and playing with Julie is what makes Luke and the guys feel alive. I gotta say, Charlie and Madison do exhibit some good harmonising.
The lift that happened is like the improv that Nick and Julie do, but then Luke and Julie here make eye contact as she comes down again, but goes back to similar to the dance she is meant to be doing. Until she reaches up on the line “We say we’re friends”, he also helps lift them up.
“We play pretend”. I mean, they kinda do. Luke tries to pass off his feelings with the guys, but that boy is WHIPPED.
“You’re more to me”- right off the bat, I like it. Arms out and a hug. YES. Also just look at that bliss on her face, bless her.
“We create” well yes they create “the perfect harmony”
The cut off is abrupt as Julie snaps back to reality. Then she looks in the mirror and realises Luke isn’t there and that she must’ve gone insane. This is what gets me. I think this is the moment that she realises that her feelings for Luke are deeper than she realised and I think she truly thought that they may have been dancing together in the end.
Is this just an extremely vivid daydream, because she had one of these when she mentally performed “I got the Music” and she must’ve done something during that time as she took someone’s drumsticks during her little renaissance. So what happened in real life? Did she just dance around a little, humming a bop? I just... I imagine that this is just a very lucid daydream, which is fair enough, relatable, but it just interacts so much with real life rather than actually just being all in her head. I just find it interesting.
The full version has some lines that I also want to point out. In the second verse there are these lines:
”You set me free”- Luke sings this line which can mean that she will set his soul free- she is a part of his “unfinished business”
“You and me together is more than chemistry”- Julie sings this line. We know that chemistry was pointed out by Alex and Reggie to Luke, and I believe Flynn also says about them being an appealing pair when performing. But they are more than chemistry. I mean they do work well together and they care about each other deeply, but I also can’t help but think of the “signs” her mother was giving her, and believing that the guys were sent to her.
“Love me as I am, I’ll hold your music here inside of my hands”- This is sung by both of them. They already do this, but holding their music in each other’s hand is interesting. I guess this is saying about trust and that they will do it together. I also think this relates to being able to finally hold hands. It’s like the saying “Whatever’s mine is yours”. They share pain, they share lyrics, their passion for music etc.
Then in the bridge we have the lines “I feel your rhythm in my heart”- I have a feeling that they are in sync with each other, they can immediately click and tune in with a melody. It’s also ironic as Luke doesn’t have a heart.
“You are my brightest burning star”- Luke sings this line. It makes sense. As I have said previously, Julie is this beacon of light, Luke clearly is in awe of her and inspires him. He also straight up calls her a star in ep 9 as well
“I never knew a love so real”- oh man, the irony. Their connection is pure and true, it’s just so annoying that he’s a ghost
“We’re heaven on earth, melody and words”- again with the metaphor of the middle ground where I suppose Julie sits. I understand the idiom and the bliss that they feel, and the connection they have and share with people. It’s just interesting as at the moment earth is currently Luke and the guys’ afterlife.
Anyway, that has been my dissection of Perfect Harmony. Thanks for reading if you’ve gotten this far 😅
PS. the lack of visual aids is because Tumblr hates me, I apologise
