Okay, since I enjoyed doing this part have another one.
At the beginning of writing this I was listening to a LOT of Doja Cat, because I think I had just watched the episode of Dave on Hulu with her in it.
I go in spurts of listening to just one artist at a time, and one of the things I feel like Quinn knows more about than I do is Rap & HipHop and Cars (that whole spurt about the car comes back up later so it was important even though it probably was just as foreign to everyone else as it was to me.) It took me so long to write that. All I know about cars is that I need an oil change. 😂😂😂
And, I dunno these are making me actually want to write I guess, so, no I'm not pacing myself:
Speaking of that car, so, all I knew was that GT500's are expensive, right, when I originally wrote that Tommy was going to buy one, but I didn't realize how expensive some models are. There was a car, that was the specific one I used as an example that was actually brought back from (that whole snippet was the truth about that specific car) Germany and it sold at auction for 1/5ish of the price of some GT500's. so.
"Pull a U in a, that sexy car, Got your black magic and your two dollar love, Pull a U in a dust, dusty car, Got your black magic and your two dollar love..."
I don't really think the song says much more than that, but, it just made me always think of someone driving a car fast, so.
"I could fuck him in the rain, I could fuck him in the Range, I could fuck him every day..."
“What, you fuck him in that blacked out Range Rover and find out it wasn’t all that great?”
Also, the song playing during the tossing of the bouquet was supposed to be I Don't Do Drugs by Doja Cat, I just couldn't find a good way to work the lyrics in, so I just left it out.
"Let me check my chest, my breath right quick, He ain't never seen it in a dress like this, He ain't never even been impressed like this, Prolly why I got him quiet on the set like, zip
Like it, love it, need it bad, Take it, own it, steal it fast, Boy, stop playing, grab my ass, You actin' like you shy?"
Just the backless dress and the ass grabbing in the linen closet, yup ⬆️⬆️⬆️
"They tell me I should mаke а plаn for life, All I'm thinkin' 'bout is whаt to do tonight, 100 miles аn hour, no heаdlights, On аn open roаd, oh
We do whаt we cаn to dull the pаin, Pinky promise things will stаy the sаme, Even when I'm old, I'll know your nаme, Anywhere we go, oh
Dye my hаir а million colours, Dreаm I'll mаke а billion dollаrs, I sweаr thаt day cаn't come soon enough, In the meаntime, we just..."
There's something about this song that just makes me think of Quinn and Dalton's friendship and the shenanigans that they probably got into on a regular basis. There's just something nostalgic about it.
"Smаll town аnd we're drinkin' аll the liquor, Every night trynа feel, something bigger, Hotbox in the cаr in the winter, We don't wаnnа go home..."
Now, really, where Quinn is from isn't a small town, but compared to Manhattan it is, so I just picture them doing young dumb friend shit together once the first one of them were able to drive. Not so much a specific scene just a general vibe.
Imma just share a bunch of music related fun facts/ lore before I try to sit down and catch up on comments because I’m listening to the playlist I started listening to when I stared writing Misadventures, and little nuggets come from random lines from so many other songs than just that album that I felt I might as well share:
But! If you haven’t read up to part 11 there are spoilers so, proceed with caution! I’ll definitley have to do more than one of these, it’s not loving the spotify links in the post 😂😂😂 and I don’t know without rereading how many I can remember off the top of my head.
“Black ocean cold and dark, I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless, but the only girl that could talk to him, just couldn’t swim, tell me what’s worse than this…”
Jumping straight to the most recent part, I’ve had that up my sleeve for awhile of Grace’s betrayal, instead of all the other things, being taking herself out the same way as Tommy’s mother.
“The myth is my mom is a murderous queen, Your life can end like in Godfather 1, you get the gun as I christen my son…”
That’s where the whole scene of Tommy liking The Godfather and them watching it came from. It just seems (as several people have mentioned as modern head cannons) something he would like.
“Louisiana, you're torturing me with a beautiful face, Ana come on, I thought we had a damn good thing (damn good thing), A penny in the couch and a diamond ring…”
I originally had, in my first draft, written it that Tommy actually actively looked for Quinn for a little bit and that she had given him her number, lost her phone not long before or after leaving New Orleans, and that was why they could never reconnect sooner, but I ended up omitting it.
So, in that version, John and Arthur would give him a bit of shit and just call her Louisiana, because somehow 🤷🏼♀️ Quinn had avoided giving Tommy a name at all instead of using her middle name.
It was also one of the determining factors in picking New Orleans.
