#it parallels dorothea fs

[theyneverblindmedarling]

K so I was listening to ‘‘tis the damn season and it kind of connects to some lyrics in MA&THP and a lot in illicit affairs. Thoughts?

I totally see the illicit affairs parallels and yeah this is another haylor song imo lol

Apparently its dorothea story where she comes back and rediscovers an old flame 👀 (is dorothea taylor and the flame *****)

Call me babe for the weekend - can make the bad guys good for a weekend (blank space) - call my bluff call you babe (inthaf) - giving me your weekends (cardigan)

The road not taken looks real good now - take the road less traveled by tell yourself you can always stop (illicit affairs) - I think the road less taken is the one leading to him and maybe she took the road more traveled by (like the conventional way of just meeting someone and that's kinda it) but either way it leads back to him but here shes wishing she chose him first

It always leads to you and my hometown- reminds me of the only thing we share is this small town (dbatc) also points to both roads lead back to him eventually they always do

Sleep in half the day for old times sake - feels like home stay in bed the whole weekend (inthaf) they are familiar with each other and their habits like they are returning to what they once knew even if just for another weekend

I wont ask you to wait if you dont ask me to stay(that's just a haylor line if I ever heard one lol)

And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own to leave the warmest bed I've ever known - she leaves worrying about starting into old patterns again and she leaves even though she knows it'll hurt her and the warmest bed shes ever known is once again that comfort and understanding they had like they had a connection that wont be replicated but she knows she has to leave anyways (bc of la and her career and whtv)

Pt2) The cage scene has alot of song vibes to me; mirrorball cause she is in one, coney island cause she is looking for her baby and the circus theme, and CLM cause the parallels to IKYWT lol and like yuh; the fourth scene in the hooded woods aka rep era gives me exile and illicit affairs vibes cause sneaking around and stuff, TTDS and Dorothea cause they try to communicated without speaking directly, evermore song cause she realizes its not forever, TIMT cause she learns, Mad w + NBNC cause yuh

Yessss mirrorball for the cage agree!! Omg i didnt think of the coney island but yes and ofc cowboy like me/ikywt hes even dressed like the guy in the ikywt video

Yess okay fs rep era vibes from the hooded forest scene agree!! Woww all the other references i didnt consider but mad woman for sure

Evermore i see more as being part pf the ending scene but yeah i see it

Also its the one time they dont like directly see each other so theres smth there fs like he was there the whole time but she didnt know
