(some) i saw the tv glow songs/lyrics as archive 81 characters

Another Season - Dan and Mark

Hello dear, acquaintance even; If this isn't over; What else could take shape; How will you remember it?; Can I tell you what I have been thinking? Whether there is any stable space; I do think of my idea of you often; I hope very much you find the place

this song just reminds me of how Dromen and also irl mark always said the story isn’t over. and mark and dans changing perception of each other(and the world) as time passes

Riding Around in the Dark - Nicholas and Static Man

It's the end of the world; And we're driving around; Shoot out the light from across the road; You know the things that I said in the parking lot; You know the things that I say in the dark

well obviously this is about left of the dial LOL. they’ve experienced so much together but never had time or dedicated time to debrief the heavy shit they’ve been through

Big Glow - Morgan/The Clerk

I gotta see how it ends; Hypnotized by the bluest note; I can barely recall before I saw the glow; Always want what you can't have, that's been the motto; Weeks, months, I'ma chill until it's lotto; I can slide with my friends but I don't want to; I'ma wait with you, beyond tomorrow

i wish we got more of morgan and her instruments… she got so mesmerized by the song where she left everything for the blacktop

Taper - Dromen

You're so hard to find; Caught up in the weeds and tangled wires; Our fate is a compromise, a compromise; I follow with half a mind; Enemies crash in and peel apart; Beneath a light so deep it breathes; Beneath a light so deep; It tapers every remark

yes this is mark thinking about dan. caught up in the weeds and tangled wires is so season 2 dan!!!! i follow you with half a mind is dromen!!

Psychic Wound - Caroline

Help me, I'm so chained to you; Someone tell me what to do; Feeling like a psychic wound; Help me, I'm so chained to you; Someone tell me what to do; Feeling like a psychic wound

this one feels obvious. i love caroline oooaaahh. feeling chained to the outpost and rat but also not knowing what to do when malfunctioning. And! i also imagine it would be hard to feel like a person again after what she’s been through and still feeling a need to be told what to do

Green - Rat

Flies circle 'round my head; Moths fall just like rain;You’re god of sun again;And all worship your pain; You are holy, see?; I don't even know; How you made it at all; You are so tall; You cast a shadow over my body

the way rat worshiped dan is just sooo weird and good. these lyrics just make me think of him being so in awe of his creation

The 90s - Dan in season 2

The apparition knocking at my door; How much longer can I ignore; Your purple glow, it follows me; Through the off white, dull, suburban streets; But no one sees you following me; Couldn't trust the secret with your company

dan with the green woman and also dromen. dromen broadcasting dan everywhere but dan not Really knowing. also off white dull suburban streets yeah that’s the city

How Can I Get Out - Alexa and Melody

I miss you, and it's becoming more; I miss you and it's getting worse; It's dark and pouring out of course; Of course, I think of you; When it rains at night, you're on my mind; The truth is in the yellow light; And for one of us, it's late enough; To call it what it looks like; Are you waiting?; 'Cause it feels like I'm waiting

keep the together no matter what pls. hearing alexa talking to chad in s2e1 hurts my chest

Claw Machine - Nicholas and Chris(but also could be literally half of the cast imo)

I think I was born bored; I think I was born blue; I think I was born wanting more

i see this as their draw to magic and rituals and shit

Tonight Tonight - the entire pod LOL

Time is never time at all; You can never ever leave; Without leaving a piece of youth; And our lives are forever changed; We will never be the same; The more you change, the less you feel

i love the idea of literally just listening or brushing up against this other world is life changing in itself and it’s impossible to fully go back

[android-jack]

a81 is doing crazy things to my brain. the danmark fic im working on is the most fiction writing i’ve done in Ages and i still have writing juice in me

[android-jack]

we know mark completed a ritual to become dromon and time traveled. what if he also went to the pay phone. would he have cut his hand off for info on dan? if he was willing to become dromon, paying for info in body parts doesn’t seem that crazy

Andrew is not hearing a word that boy is saying. Him internally: "armsarmsarmsarms"

[jordiipordii]

The concept of Andrew Minyard doing an angel tree; aka Andrew getting hold of the wishlist of someone less fortunate (definitely a child) and actually going thru the effort and energy to go out and get everything on the list and then some. Gender wouldn’t matter; Andrew reads ‘age 7- currently in foster care for the third Christmas in a row’ on the paper and he’s set on giving this child he does not know but fully relates to anything that they want and more. Toys, clothing, extra winter garments because he knows how bad foster care can be especially when you’re so small and freezing in the middle of winter. You think he spent a lot of cash on Neil throughout the original trilogy? Andrew spends absolute bank on this child. He gets everything on their list, some toys even in pairs in case something happens to the first (again he knows how foster life is.) Andrew even gets a generic Christmas card that’s covered in flakes of glitter and he doesn’t seem to mind that the sparkles stick to his skin each time he touches it. He signs his name on the inside except it isn’t his name now, it’s who he used to ‘be’ — Andrew Doe. The name doesn’t sting like it did when he was their age and Andrew hopes very deep down that the child the card and supplies are for lucks out better than him and ends up with a family who loves and will care for them soon, even if the deadline is just be next Dec. so they aren’t in foster care for four full years.

A few weeks after Andrew has enlisted Bee’s help in making the presents bedazzled and eye-catching for a child whose life is probably pretty bleak on the norm & has dropped the package off, he gets a letter back. It’s a handmade card with the sort of looping, uncertain lines only a child can produce and the picture on the front is of a snowman. They’ve drawn little stars around the doodle, perhaps trying to imitate the glitter on Andrew’s card to them. On the inside there’s a short message thanking him over and over, some of the e’s looking more like o’s and some of the y’s looking more like g’s. It all has the sort of child-like innocence that he himself has not known in what feels like years upon years upon decades upon lifetimes. But that is good: it means that this child still has a spark to them. It means that they still have hope, and Andrew himself hopes with every fiber of his being that the child never loses that (perhaps foolish) whimsy and joy.

He keeps the card, because of course he does. Andrew sticks it on the side of the fridge with a magnet like a parent might do to their child’s art project, and every once in a while in the weeks that follow he’ll knock his knuckles on the card’s front. Perhaps it’s his way of telling the child hello despite how they won’t know it; maybe he’s reaffirming his hope that they’re doing alright and will only start to do better.

Neil almost asks which one it is once, or if it’s perhaps a secret third option, but he keeps the question locked away behind his teeth. Some things don’t need any answers, he thinks.

“Good morning, birthday boy”

[softkostyk]

It’s November 9th, 2007. It’s Jean’s 20th birthday, and his first birthday out of the dark—the first birthday that, perhaps, is worth celebrating. Things are not perfect—how could they be?—but he is safe, and cared for, and he is falling in love. He is choosing himself and his happiness, for the first time in his life. Maybe he gets to kiss his best friend tonight. He is glad he did not give up.

It’s November 9th, 2025. It’s Jean’s 38th birthday. The past eighteen years have been so full of light he can hardly believe it sometimes. Things are perfect, even when they’re not. He is safe, loved beyond his wildest dreams, he is in love. He has been choosing his happiness and it has paid off, for his husband is warm against him, murmuring a birthday song. He has so much worth fighting for, and he will keep doing it until his lungs give out.

[w0opwo0p]

Don't ever give up

I'm waiting for you

On the other side

I'm waiting for you

While you're burning alive

When your power's gone

I'll protect you, my child

I'm forever strong

👀 When Jeremy won’t take a hint and keeps asking questions:

[jordiipordii]

Forever appreciative of Nora still making both Andrew and Jean horny as hell despite it all.

i feel like crying every time i think about jean telling jeremy that "kevin earned the right to be arrogant" like... oh. finally someone that acknowledges (somehow) kevin's past and feelings. and it being the person that kevin hurt the most is so important to me
