Wait/Save the last dance for me

It began as a post about 'wait' for @i-am-the-oyster then it became to post about all the things between waiting and disillusion because we've talking about it with @thewalrusespublicist. And then it became to this mess with dances, waits, leaves and come backs - but it's organized chaos, trust me, and it's like a really dance.

Dance/love Wait Walk away/you never know Come back/home/take me back

So I wait and in a while I will see my true love smile

(A World Without Love, 1958/63)

I’ll wait until tomorrow Till you come my way That’s why I sit here Alone and I pray… But I’ll wait till tomorrow Through a thousand setting suns I’ll wait till tomorrow If tomorrow ever comes…

(I’ll Wait Till Tomorrow)

Wake up in the morning I don’t feel blue ’Cause I know I got you

(Because I Know You Love Me So, circa Jan 1958)

Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean And the way she looked was way beyond compare So how could I dance with another When I saw her standin' there Well, she looked at me and I could see That before too long I'd fall in love with her 'Cause she wouldn't dance with another When I saw her standin' there

(I Saw Her Standing There, 1962/1963, Please Please Me)

If somebody tries to take my place Let's pretend we just can't see his face In this world there's nothing I would rather do I've discovered I'm in love with you 'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

(I’m Happy Just to Dance with You, 1964, A Hard Day’s Night)

There's no fun in what I do when she's not there I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long I think I'll take a walk and look for her

(I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party, 1964/65, Beatles For Sale)

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone Wait till I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried … I feel as though you ought to know That I've been good, as good as I can be And if you do, I'll trust in you And know that you will wait for me

(Wait, 1965, Rubber Soul)

When your prized possessions Start to weigh you down Look in my direction I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round When your bird is broken Will it bring you down? You may be awoken I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round

(And Your Bird Can Sing, 1966, Revolver)

Now, Honey Pie, you are making me crazy I'm in love but I'm lazy So, won't you please come home? Come, come back to me, Honey Pie <…> To be where you belong Honey pie, come back to me

(Honey Pie, 1968, The Beatles/White Album)

Who knows how long I've loved you You know I love you still Will I wait a lonely lifetime If you want me to - I will

(I Will, 1968, The Beatles/White Album)

Are you happy here honey, happy? Are you happy here? I ain’t happy here my honey Can you take me back? Can you take me back where I came from? Can you take me back?

(Can you take me back, 1968)

Do you, don't you want me to love you? I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

(Helter-Skelter, 1968, The Beatles/White Album)

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried But still they lead me back to the long winding road You left me standing here a long long time ago Don't leave me waiting here lead me to your door

(The Long And Winding Road, 1969, Let It Be)

Anyway you’ve always known, the many ways I’ve tried

(The Long And Winding Road, 2003, Let It Be…Naked)* *remember, Paul in 1969 didn't choice the song's take, it did Spector, Klein - whoever it was, but not Paul, maybe they took wrong take, who knows)

All these years I've been wandering around Wondering how come nobody told meAll that I was looking for was somebody who looked like you!*

(I've Got A Feeling, 1969)

*I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you

(While My Guitar Gently Weeps, 1968, White Album)

When you told me, you didn't need me anymore Well, you know I nearly broke down and cried When you told me, that you didn't need me anymore Well, you know I nearly fell down and died Oh! Darling, if you leave me I'll never make it alone Believe me when I tell you I'll never do you no harm (Believe me, darling!)

(Oh! Darling, 1969, Abbey Road)

Get back to where you once belonged Get back, Jo Jo

(Get Back, 1969)

Did I hear you say That there must be a catch? Will you walk away From a fool and his money? Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it But you'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast

(Come And Get It, 1969)

Hey Diddle I want you back Diddle I want you back Hey Diddle I want you back Diddle I want you back I don't belong My heart isn't strong Don't belong

(Hey Diddle, Oct 1970/summer of 1974/Wingspan Hits And History, 2001)

Ram on, give your heart to somebody soon, Right away, right away

(Ram On, 1971, Ram)

I guess you never knew, dear boy What you had found… I guess you never saw, dear boy That love was there

(Dear Boy, 1971, Ram)

I wish you knew, that's just how true My love was

(No Words, 1973, Band on the Run)

I may never tell you But baby you should know There may be a miracle And baby I love you so

(Power Cut, 1973, Red Rose Speedway)

Hello Joe I hope you're feeling better This is a little tape To give you an idea of how y'know my love goes It's very rough But you don't have to feel so down Thank you

(Message To Joe, January 1976/Wings At The Speed Of Sound - Archive Collection, 2014)

Oh baby you couldn't Have done a worse thing to me If you'd have taken an arrow And run it right through me Oh baby a bird in the hand Is worth two flying But when it came to love I knew you'd be lying <…> It could have been A finer fling Flying in a righter direction With no other thing Featuring but love and affection Come on get up Get under way And bring your love

(Arrow Through Me, 1979, Back To The Egg)

All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dreams Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for you <…> From this moment on I know Exactly where my life will go Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for love <…> Don't need to be afraid (Don't need to be alone) It's real love, it's real Yes, it's real love, it's real

(Real Love, circa 1979)

Because I love you, my little friend I really love you Give me just one more chance And I'll show you Take up the dance where we left off The rest of our life is the, my little I'm home

((Forgive Me) My Little Flower Princess, Aug 1980)

'Well, Paul told me he said 'John [after his death] will come back…' (Carl Perkins)

Can I get you to show me a little of your mime? You were always a very good dancer … I wait, I wait, I can wait. I can wait back in the bar. I can wait, I can wait, I can wait back in the car. I'll be waiting for you.

(Stranglehold, 1986, Press To Play)

Oh white blanket, hiding the traces' of tears she didn't see. Snow white blanket simply covers the memory Of all that used to be. But his heart keeps aching in the same old way. He can't help feeling that she might come back someday.

(Footprints, 1986, Press To Play)

You told me you will find me, pretty baby, But you know you never came, yeah

(I Wanna Cry, 1989, B-Side of the single This One)

I thought I saw your shadow in an old doorway But when I looked again I thought I made a big mistake, It was someone else, who looked a little like you, But now I know, ah ha ha, ain't no one like you. I'll tell you why I know, babe, Hey, 'cause I'm looking for you, looking for you, Yeah, I'm looking for you, That's all I do, that's all <…> Hey nah nah nah, let me tell you, baby, The earth ain't flat, I finally made the decision, and that is that. And now I know, there's only one place to be, You know where that place is, Yeah, for you to be with me.

(Looking For You, 1997, Flaming Pie)

con: i have the second worst hangover i have ever had and have been fighting for my fucking life just to eat saltines

✾ Question from the Tumblr blog named World Building Question Of The Day “Do the people of your setting have a phrase that indirectly translates to ‘I love you’?” ✾

PS: I’m answering for my House of the Dragon/A Song of Ice and Fire fanfic, called Save Me The Last Dance, on AO3.

✿.｡.:* .• ✧ •. *:.｡.✿

In Westeros, people don't really have different to say "I love you", however Targaryen and Velaryon has different ways to express their loves depending on the circumstances :

"Ao sagon arliñāre ñuha prūmia ezīmagon perzys" = "You're changing my heart into fire" → To talk about romantic love, the kind you express to your lover, it's about passion, desire and adoration.

"Iksi sharing keskydoso peldioñelly" = "We share the same scales" → To talk about family love (not incestuous). It's a way to say that their bond as family is so strong, the dragons inside of them is similar to the other, which is pretty intimate, because of they are such prideful being and they tend to valuate individuality, so admitting that a member of their family is similar to them says a lot.

"Avy jorrāelan" = "I love you" → It's a more simple way to express love, but still, saying it in Valyrian gives much more weight to the words because it's the language of their ancestors.

✿.｡.:* .• ✧ •. *:.｡.✿

It's not a very long answer, so if you have any question, feel free to ask :)

TOP 10 PERSONAL FAVE MOVIES TO WATCH WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE ASS

I don't like movies that stress me out because life is already stressful but I DO love catharsis comedy found family friendship fantasy and violence so here are my top 10 movies and series to have a good time watching

Numbered for convenience but not in any particular order

John Wick 1 and 2: An ordinary man grieving the loss of his wife gets dragged back into his past as a shadowy, invisible world of international killers for hire is slowly revealed to be living among us. A love note to set design, lighting, and choreography. My favourite part is fixating on the symbolism. DO NOT WATCH 3. 4 is okay. DO NOT WATCH 3. There is a dog death in 1 that will make you cry so skip that part if you have to. DO NOT WATCH 3.

The lord of the Rings, all 3, extended edition best watched if you're on the couch with the flu and expect to fall asleep OR if it's your day off and it's raining outside OR if you have like 5 people lounging around in pajamas

Six Underground: Essentially an hour and a half long car commercial music video with found family and a fresher take on acommon plot. Ryan Reynolds essentially writes and directs a Michael Bay movie where 6 independant criminals gather together to overthrow a violent foreign dictatorship. You show up for a dumb heist and walk out ready to build a guillotine. TW for violence, car crashes, chemical warfare, and genocide. A very cathartic ending. Does unfortunately do the whole "vague, impoverished middle-eastern country" thing but the citizens are actually show as human beings which is a nice change of pace and oh wow that's depressing isn't it

The Princess Diaries 1 and 2: A sort-of-a-loser teenage girl, played by a 2001 Annie Hathaway, learns that her late father was a king of a foreign nation and must become a confident and responsible leader for his people. There is a scene in the rain where you will experience emotions. Best watched with snacks. 2 features an enemies-to-lovers type deal with Chris Pine.

Ella Enchanted: A shrek-style semi-musical fantasy romance in which a young woman is cursed at birth to do everything anyone tells her to do. Features several Queen songs and dance numbers sung by Annie Hathaway and that guy who plays the sad dog guy in Hannibal.

Stardust: A huge loser travels from 1800s England (?) to a magical world in order to fetch a fallen star for the insufferable love of his life before she marries a massive douchebag. The huge loser? Charlie Cox. The star? A living person. Also a whole bunch of princes are ALSO looking for them as a race for the throne while discreetly killing each other off. And also a bunch of witches want to eat her so they can be young and sexy. 11/10. I used to watch this 10 minutes at a time on a YouTube channel that posted it in chunks filmed on a digital camera in their living room

The Last Holiday: Queen Latifah, playing someone played by Queen Latifah, has been working an underappreciated minimum wage job for years, living a safe and conservative life trying to lose weight and save money. Then she finds out she has months to live, and decides to finally quit her job and blow it all on one massive luxury holiday vacation complete with five-star dining, making friends and finding love and confidence along the way. It's definitely corny but it makes me so happy thank you Queen Latifah

Zathura: It's the plot to the original Jumanji but in space instead of the rainforest. But listen to me: There's a twist reveal at the end that you need to pretend isn't there. It is vitally important when you get to that part- and you will know what part when it happens- that you pretend it didn't. Otherwise, a fresh and enjoyable adventure for any age!

Redacted cause I haven't seen it in a long time and it may be worse than I remember, gotta rewatch

Bullet Train. You go in expecting a ham-fisted find-the-mcguffin style action comedy and are blindsided by excellent narrative symmetry and genuinely likeable characters. Fresh takes on old themes and creative action sequences. My little brother said "It's good", and he's a man who once sincerely argued that Lord of the Rings could have been better. It's fun and punchy violence with just enough smart stuff to not let your brain get bored

[tavolgisvist]

Thinking about Paul singing in Hey Jude 'take a load off, Fanny, put the load right on me.' Well, that's what John did, so… And love it's linked not only with The Weight by The Band but with Pore Jud Is Daid from Oklahoma! and Save the Last Dance for Me too. And John and Paul arguing with fervency: It's about me! - No, it's about me! Never boring.

apologies, i'm still angry abt TUA S4

so, if we take out all of the blatant issues with the season (character assassination, 'resolutions' that create more plotholes than they solve, rushed scenes that make no sense, side plots that go nowhere, raymond vanishing for no reason, etc etc), what are we left with? let's see:

fatphobia (multiple jokes made about 'chubby Diego', when David just looks hydrated and healthy)

SA played for jokes (it's clear that Klaus having sex while possessed is supposed to be funny, but he's being held hostage and forced to do this for money, when we already know he didn't even want his powers back??)

cheating

problematic / borderline problematic age gaps (either way you spin it, either Five is physically 20-26 while Lila is likely mid 40s, or Five is mentally 70s while Lila is mid 40s; Aidan was 19 while filming, and Ritu was 34)

waiting for the actor to come of age before introducing a romance (we already know what some fans can be like over Five/Aidan, this will not have helped; I would be horrified if I found out the show runners had planned a romance arc with a coworked 15 years older than me and then waited for me to turn legal age to execute it)

sexism (i was reluctant to call it that but i also don't know what else to call it - Lila basically had her agency stripped away to become the love interest two men fought over; Steve wanted Five to have a romance and didn't care who with - use Lila simply because she was there)

complete disregard of character trauma (Klaus being buried alive despite it having been mentioned in every prior season that he was locked in a mausoleum by Reginald, including literally being left to die)

possible overstepping of an actor's boundaries (i've not been able to verify this, but i've seen it said that robert sheehan has requested not to do sex scenes?) (still havent been able to prove this; wasn't an issue with other roles so... hesitant to leave it)

actors requests being ignored (David asked multiple times if the Lila cheating sideplot was required, but clearly it went ahead anyway)

bad cgi

that awful vomit montage

Reginald (im not quite calling it abuse forgiveness but uh. it's not far off tbh)

i don't even know what to call this, but basically told the Hargreeves the abuse they suffered was their fault because they shouldn't even exist??

what did i miss? (im sure there's something)

from the replies:

the song in the ep3 dance scene uses a slur for romani people (and is also about a man and an underage girl)

SA dismissal (it's literally never addressed that Allison SA'd Luther last season. like, at all. everything's just a-okay now!)

more sexism (Allison's arc was also reduced to serving men; there's a single line to explain that Ray left, with no mention of why (i could go OFF about this but this post isn't supposed to be about mishandling of characters); even after everything, all her bonding with Claire comes through Klaus's storyline. also, Sloane is just gone and nobody gives a shit - Luther has one line and that's it??)

so many issues with consent (all of the girls shown in the place Klaus works look drugged / Klaus doesn't want to be there and doing any of that, it's all against his wishes / they all get their powers back against their wishes - although they do tell Ben that wasn't his choice to make / Klaus gets his powers back against his will when Allison is pressured to do it to save his life)
