thought too hard about fictional characters and now im NAUSEOUS

do you ever make like two lines of a song about some character? and even though the rest of the song doesn't actually fit them (and really, those two lines only fit in a very specific interpretation), it becomes the designated Song About Them?

this happened with naked in manhatten by chappell roan. "touch me baby, put your lips on mine. could go to hell but we'll probably be fine." it's awful because i don't even just think of one character to those lines, but a SHIP. jonmartin save me...jonmartin... save me jonmartin... SAVE MEEEEE.

it literally doesn't work in the actual context of the song. i can only make it about them if i pretend those lines are about them holding each other in that final moment together of the last episode where they may-or-may-not-have-died. but i pictured them in that moment Once and now when i listen to this song on repeat (because it's one of my favorites so ofc i listen to it on repeat) my tummy hurts.

head in fucking hands.

(it really is such a good song tho. and i do love jonmartin.)
