This is basically me talking about how Luke and Helena relate to this song I love, Heat Waves by Glass Animals. These are all my own thoughts and feelings, and reflect how Iย view this relationship, and is mostly based around my own canon for Luke. Also this is out of order because Iโm just talking about the parts of the song that I want to.
I'll make a real post abt it at some point tomorrow but werewolf Luke was bit freshman year and became all cool and tough and strong and by sophomore year he was the star quarterback and one of the most popular guys in school

Luke has anxiety and this is something that manifesfs in various ways, but something very specific is that often times Luke finds himself lost in thought. He'll space out, entirely forget the conversation he's in or what he was doing, and be lost in his own head with his own anxities. He's known for this, but most people just assume he's bad at listening, or thinking about something stupid. Most people assume it's from a lack of thought, rather than an overflow of them.
anyways, I want an au of season 2 where the coup never happens? Not sure if Luke leaves the guard or not but I just want happy things of him adjusting to new ham, having cute hobbies and etc.
also I shouldโve included this on the last post but luke felt like he couldnโt be honest about his sexuality with helena and thatโs such a strain on a relationship. itโs the worstย

Usually I put somethin' on TV
So we never think about you and me
Basically, the idea of trying to hide their relationship problems. I think we see this a lot throughout the show as Luke and Helena are often doing very separate things as far as jobs go. I think thereโs a lot of time where the two of them are spending time together, but they arenโt really together. Even at events like parties and movie nights, they donโt seem to spend much time really talkingย or enjoying each otherโs company. There are even lines that allude to fights, or to jealousy, but for the most part, they are ignored by both party, as they donโt want to deal with their issues.
But today I see our reflections clearly
In Hollywood, layin' on the screen
You just need a better life than this
You need somethin' I can never give
There are two break ups that Luke and Helena have. One, before everything, and two, after the engagement and thanksgiving. Iโll talk about each and how this relates.
The first comes before the school trip. Luke breaks up with Helena after they have been spending the night hanging out with a few of their friends. I think the topic of the future gets brought up, and in that moment, Luke ends things. He has known that their relationship is not perfect for a long time, and itโs the idea of staying together forever that he knows he cannot do. He knows that they are not one of those couples. He knows that doing so will end up with both of them unhappy.
Throughout New Ham, after they get back together, I think we see these little moments that suggest that Luke cannot give Helena what she wants. She has this idea of a perfect relationship, of getting married, and I donโt know if Luke reallyย wants that yet. He doesnโt agree with her on many issues, such as the gun issue, and Luke cannotย protect her in the way she might need.
So that leads to their break up after Thanksgiving. This happens for a few reasons. One is because of Becca, and the baby, and another is simply that Luke realizes that he and Helena have been living in a fantasy. They havenโt been in love with each other, but instead, in love with the ideaย of a romance. The kind you would see on television.
Fake water all across the road
It's gone now, the night has come
This relates above. The idea of a mirage created by a heat wave on water. There is a very fine line between caring for someone and being in love for them, and I think that because Helena and Luke really care for each other, they can sometimes create this mirage, this idea of being in love with each other. But eventually, the night comes, and the mirage is gone. Their relationship is not perfect, and they are not in love. They need to break up.
I just wonder what you're dreamin' of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that's perfectly un-sad
I also wanted to talk about this section a little bit? Luke and Helena have so many arguments that we see throughout the show, (and Iโm certainly not saying that happy couples cannot argue), but I think that Luke often feels this way. I think thereโs a kind of comfortable that he sees Helena being with other people, that he often feels that he cannot give her. And in the same sense, I think thereโs a way that Luke feels comfortable with other people, that he doesnโt feel around her.ย
I also think about the idea of Luke saying that he can protect Helena, and then she hands him that gun. He feels as though he cannot protect her, and I think these lyrics play into that aspect of their relationship as well.
Sometimes all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
And finally, the chorus. I think this directly relates to the reason why Helena and Luke got back together in the first place. After their break up, it wasnโt as if Helena completely left Lukeโs thoughts. He still thought about her a lot, felt awful for what he had done, and the good memories would play back in their head.
I think they have a few moments at the beginning of New Ham where that feeling of fresh love, of a new relationship is back, something that hasnโt been there in a while. I think it does fake them into thinking that things are suddenly okay, and that they should be together. I think that the idea of being stuck in New Ham plays into this mirage as well, giving them the idea that they should spend the rest of their lives together, because there arenโt many other options.
In reality, they are being faked out. They cannot make each other happy in the ways that they need to, shown by so many scenes in the show. They fight and they discourage each other and they disagree and when they talk about love they talk about this ideaย of love, this ideal, rather than about each other.ย
Road shimmer wigglin' the vision
Heat, heat waves, I'm swimmin' in a mirror
For the end of their relationship, they donโt exist in the real world, they exist in a fantasy world of what their future couldย be.ย They are happy momentarily, and that stops them from seeing that the issues that they have will only get worse and worse down the line, not that they will get better.ย
Really cannot get over how Luke is forced into the guard and feels like it is his job to protect people and so every single time someone gets hurt it feels like he's failing to do his job? and when he finally quits the guard, it's because he feels as if he can't stop people from getting hurt. he couldn't help Cassandra, he could help Emily, he killed Dewey, and now he can't even help Elle. He feels as if he cannot do anything anymore.
