emotional hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes

Just me at 2am hearing the song Tattoo by Loreen and thinking "Huh, it's Jem (and Jessa/Herongraystairs)" and now I'm crying :)


BUT LIKE.
"
I don't wanna go
But baby, we both know
This is not our time
It's time to say goodbye
Until we meet again
'Cause this is not the end
It will come a day
When we will find our way
Violins playin' and the angels cryin'
When the stars align, then I'll be there
No, I don't care about them all
'Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You're stuck on me like a tattoo
No, I don't care about the pain
I'll walk through fire and through rain
Just to get closer to you
You're stuck on me like a tattoo
"

– He literally went through fire to be with her :)
– "This is not our time" -> "Until we meet again"... CP2...
– "All I want is to be loved", LITERALLY HIM WISHING FOR LOVE BEFORE HIS DEATH
– "No, I don't care about the pain" HE TOOK MORE YING FEN JUST TO ENJOY MORE HIS LIFE WITH HER AND MAKE HER HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT IT DID TO HIM
