#waited all your life

Waited All Your Life is such a good fucking song and we don't talk about that enough

[ashole-x]

I have to get this out or I’ll explode.

Waited All Your Life is essentially the boys greeting as at the front door after a long journey. Leading us to the kitchen table and handing us a warm cup of coffee. Filling us in on all of the happenings during our time away.

They smile and hold our hands in theirs across the table. Asking of our time away. Asking if we are okay. If we need anything. Offering a shower and warm clothes. Putting on a comfort movie.

We are home. They are home.

And they don’t want us to leave ever again🤍

In regards to this supposed theory about WAYL...

So I wrote parts of a fic based on Waited All Your Life with Jake in a hospital a month or two ago...so if you want ouchie, here's a snippet.

Warnings: Hospitals, sickness, sadness, anxiety.

Josh would simply refuse to exist without Jake. Listening to the whirring and beeping of the machines above his brother’s head was becoming nauseating. 

“Honey, why don’t you take a break, maybe grab some coffee?” Karen, the twins’ mother suggested. “Jake is fine. No need to tie yourself up in knots right now.” Josh shook his head, waving his mother off. 

“No, I’m fine,” He said, ruffling his hair, which had gone one-too-many days without washing. Josh’s eyes were ringed with dark circles, and his skin had grown pallid from worrisome days of having no appetite. 

“No, you’re not,” Jake said, his raspy voice croaking softly, but with great effort. “You reek.” Josh’s lips curled upward with a mischievous grin. 

“You’re lucky I don’t have my armpit in your face,” He warned, standing up from the hospital recliner. 

“That would surely stop me from breathing,” Jake retorted morbidly. Josh was definitely unenthused. 

“Son,” Kelly said to Josh, stepping in front of the hospital bed, looping his hands around the handles at the foot of the frame. “Go shower and get something to eat. Jake is stable right now. I promise we will call you if there’s any update.”

“But,” Josh argued, crossing his arms as he looked down at his brother. 

“Go,” Jake said, nodding upward toward the door of the hospital room. “I’m okay.”

“Okay, but please keep me updated,” Josh pleaded with his parents. “Where’s Jita?” He asked. 

“She went home a while ago. We told her the same thing we’re telling you. You can’t be there for Jake if you can’t take care of yourself, honey,” Karen said, stepping over to rub Josh’s back. 

“Okay,” Josh resigned, stepping toward the door. “I won’t be gone long, Jake.” He looked at his brother with deep concern, and he wasn’t wrong to do so. Jake had been diagnosed with ‘Risk Class IV pneumonia,” and his oxygen saturation levels weren’t increasing as quickly as the doctors had wanted. Jake was wheezy, and it was obvious to everyone in the room how difficult it was for him to breathe evenly. He was in stable condition, but for how long was anyone’s guess. His hands were poked with several IV leads, and his face was pale in pallor, which was frightening for Josh to see. Growing up, he couldn’t remember a time when he and Jake had ever been this seriously ill. Jake had broken his arm when he was younger, and it required surgery, but sickness was something new for Josh. He’d never spent too much time worrying about it, but now with his brother sick in a hospital bed with something far more serious than anything he’d ever experienced, Josh began to let his mind wander to the darker, intruding thoughts. The drive home consisted of Josh tapping nervously on the steering wheel, unable to focus. When he arrived at the red light where he needed to turn left, he decided to continue straight, heading for Jake’s house. He needed to be with Jita. She understood; being Jake’s other closest loved one, she would understand the weight that he bore on his shoulders. He also knew that she’d be the last to judge his appearance.

Waited All Your Life

Let’s begin (oh)

You’ve wandered through the door

Come on in (oh)

Have you been here before? (Yeah)

Waited all your life (oh yeah)

Come from so far away

And do you intend to stay?

Swim to shore

If this is what you’re looking for

Shout, “Oh lord!”

If this is what you’re looking for

You’ve been on your way

You’ve been on your way

Please stay

Where’ve you been? (Oh)

We won’t lead you astray

*Share our skin (whoa)

It’s time for us to pray (pray)

Waited all your life (oh yeah)

Come from so far away

And do you intend to stay?

Swim to shore

If this is what you’re looking for

Shout, “Oh lord!”

If this is what you’re looking for

You’ve been on your way

You’ve been on your way

Please stay

Come from so far away

And do you intend to stay?

Swim to shore

If this is what you’re looking for

Shout, “Oh lord!”

If this is what you’re looking for

You’ve been on your way

You’ve been on your way (way x6)

Please stay, please stay, please stay

Please stay, don’t go away..

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU

I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.

like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --

[knifearo]

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

[autosadist]

if you would like trans women to stop being suspicious of your intentions as a tme person you should probably take the very important step of not making it about you LOL like it actually really is not about you as an individual at all. part of having friends that are marginalized in ways you aren't - something that needs to be accepted to even get to this point - is listening to them discuss violence/oppression/control enacted on them by people in a group you belong to and accepting that they aren't fucking attacking you personally. how do you think people will come to trust you if you've positioned yourself to assume they look down on you specifically?

WHY DID YOU DO THIS😭

I wanna tell yall something my friend told me that broke me about Waited All Your Life (theory of its origin) SO, back when Jake got pneumonia, it turned out it was way worse than we thought and they said Jake was close to losing a lung. He was in the hospital for a few days, and it was right as Dreams in Gold (the biggest tour Greta has EVER done at that point in time) had just began. I can only imagine the fear Josh must have felt for his brother (his own twin, a bond so thick I cannot even imagine) and how much sadness and anxiety he felt watching his sick brother in a hospital bed, not knowing what this would mean for not just the band or the tour BUT FOR JAKE!

This is Jake's band. This is his entire dream. And what if it all fell away and it stopped before it ever got to truly start.

You've come from so far away

You've been on your way

And do you intend to stay?

Swim to shore

If this is what you're looking for

Shout, "Oh Lord"

If this is what you're looking for

You've been on your way

Please stay

All these lyrics sound like he's telling him to fight and get better and to stay to follow his dream and stay with him.

Then, finally:

Please stay, please stay, please stay

Don't go away.

^ and if this doesn't break your heart thinking about Josh with his head in his hands in Jake's room while he sleeps in his hospital bed as he's praying for his recovery, then idk what to tell ya.

I know this song probably has many meanings, but this just hits me in my heart.
