Disney and Kings of Leon top fives!
House ones to come later. I might try and finish watching S5 before I do those, to make sure I'm making fully-informed decisions. Though narrowing my favourite House/Wilson moments down to FIVE is going to be a nightmare whatever I do. ;)
TOP FIVE PIECES OF PERSONAL CANON FOR DEMI AND SELENA
For pirateygoodness.
They are (or were) together
WAIT NO, THIS ISN'T JUST RANDOM TINHATTERY. If you're a member of demi_selena, you'll know that there's some pretty convincing (and headfucky) evidence out there. Like, I can't even go into all of it, but slowly I have become almost certain that SOMETHING has gone on between them in the past, whether or not it's still happening now. I don't even know what I think, exactly, but after becoming a member of that community I've become kinda convinced.
Roughly 90% of the songs they tweet about are secret messages to each other
Lol okay this one might just be random tinhattery, but it's personal canon so that's okay. I usually look up the lyrics to the songs the girls tweet about and it's fun and oh so easy to imagine they're about each other. I've noticed that when Selena mentions songs that are written from a guy's POV about a girl, she usually adds something about how that girl is so lucky, or she wishes a guy wrote a song like that for her. Whereas Demi doesn't bother so much.
Demi is gay, and Selena is straight but fell for Demi
I'm not quite sure why it works this way for me. It's sort of concrete in my mind that Demi is a lesbian (except for when I imagine her with Jared Followill, for some reason), but I do think she's struggling with it a lot and maybe hasn't even realised for sure yet? I'd never say she hasn't had any feelings for the guys she's dated or anything, it's just that (in my mind, at least) she's very confused. Selena...I can't really see with girls besides Demi, so I think she's straight and Demi is the exception.
They have a seriously awesome friendship
...Okay this one is pretty much CANON, but. I don't know. Maybe it's just because of my social anxiety, but I've never really had a friendship I've felt 100% comfortable in. And I imagine that these girls are totally and completely comfortable with each other. They can tell each other anything, and do whatever in front of each other without being embarrassed. And I bet they call each other up in the middle of the night and turn up places unannounced and know all these tiny stupid details about each other. ♥
Their first kiss was a long, long time ago
It was more of an extension of their friendship than anything romantic, and didn't seem like a big deal at the time. It was either when they were little, and like, Selena gave Demi a peck on the lips because she let her have the last pickle or something, or when they were in their early teens and Selena was feeling down about something so Demi kissed her to cheer her up. Just something small, you know? And they didn't freak out about what it meant, it just felt nice and they loved each other. The complications came later. XD
TOP FIVE JOE/NICK MOMENTS
For thisissirius. THIS WAS HARD, THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD MOMENTS.
5. This hug
Idk it kinda makes me melt every time. Where is the video for this, btw? I can't find it. :(
4. The When You Look Me In The Eyes music video
Because it's basically a Disney-approved Joe/Nick fanvid. In particular I love the bits where the two of them are filming each other, and OH GOD, the bit at 2:17 when Joe leaps up on the piano and then falls to his knees to sing, and Nick is just GAZING AT HIM, and then catches himself and turns away. Oh godddd.
3. The performance of the A Little Bit Longer/So Far Away mash-up that made me cry that one time
It was thisissirius and thepodsquad that introduced me to this awesomeness. It was kind of what added ALL THE FEELINGS to my love for the Jonas Brothers, and I never turned back. The way they seem to be singing TO each other in this pretty much makes me fall apart, and yeah, one time I cried while watching this. :(
2. The tacklehug (at 1:58)
...don't even have to explain. God, I have such fond memories of this moment! I was chatting to blackwayfarers, thepodsquad and expastic when it happened, and we all stayed on squeeing for hours. I ended up staying up all night, and thisissirius came online in the morning before work and we all sent her links and things and continued the squeeing. Our chat log from that night is ridic.
1. Nick being flustered post-tacklehug (at 2:17)
Is it weird that I like this even more than the tacklehug itself? I guess it's just that Joe is like that with Nick pretty much all the time (although obvs the fact that it was a full-on TACKLE this time made it special) whereas...let's be honest here, you almost never get this much expression or emotion from Nick. And here he can barely finish his sentences! And his breath hitches! Plus, the fact that he feels the need to EXPLAIN what just happened kills me. It's a hug from your goofy brother, Nick! WHAT IS THERE TO EXPLAIN?
TOP FIVE KINGS OF LEON PICTURES
For thisissirius. I decided to go with group pictures only otherwise it would've been impossible. It was already nearly impossible. I almost split this into two, as "pictures I genuinely like" and a "pictures I like because they're hilarious".
1. I don't often laugh out loud at things on the computer, but this had me in hysterics. It was partly that I was too distracted at first by how ridiculous Caleb looks to even NOTICE Nathan, and then when I did I burst out laughing and kept laughing for a worryingly long time. Jared's rabbit-in-the-headlights expression cracks me up too, and like...what is even the story behind this photo? What's with the crowds of people behind them? I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I love it.
2. 'Cause...it's just so...inappropriate. There's something about the arms everywhere and Caleb's hand on the bare part of Jared's knee, and the look he's giving him, that's like "...hold up, what's going on here?" And yeah, I think the Aha Shake Heartbreak era is my favourite, and any pictures where they squeeze the boys onto one sofa are fine by me.
3. It's kinda rare to see them all so happy, weirdly? And I just like the outtake-like aspect of this, it looks like someone just said something funny and they all cracked up. Nathan looks a little bit like a madman, but whatevs.
2. IT'S JUST SO CUTE. They're not often that affectionate with each other, so it's kind of special, too. They just look all sweet and tired and snuggly and young.
1. Is this actually my number one? I don't know. I think it has to be, because of how I got into this whole Kings of Leon obsession in the first place. It's not even that they look particularly good or that it's an especially nice photo ('cause let's face it, it's pretty awkward), it's just like...THEY'RE WITH THE JONAS BROTHERS. Idk.
