“LOVE.” by Kendrick Lamar is probably my song of the year and I’ve been listening to this awesome cover of it a bunch this week. I think this lyric is beautiful and a sentiment you don’t hear enough of in love songs.
That half the song is Kendrick talking about how much he loves his relationship with his fiance, but then the other half is him worrying that “If I wasn’t X/Y/Z/, would you still love me?”
Then I interpret this line as a response to those doubts between both partners. That beyond physical affection, love involves putting yourself completely out there and trusting that your partner wants you as you are.
And that whole train of thought made me think of one of my favorite TumblrPone relationships: the wonderful @scisetdaily / @adger ! Particularly their last story arc, An Ace of Hearts, which explored similar issues of trust and doubt.
Plus I want to draw more ships this month and I figure SciSet is a great one to start with! <3
