my predictions for who i'll write about in stories inspired by the songs that might be on the deluxe edition of Noah Kahan's "Stick Season"
Noah Kahan has been busy working on the deluxe version of Stick Season... and teasing it on his TikTok.
Just for a bit of fun, I wanna give some prediction on what I think each song we've heard (so far) will inspire me to write because we all know that I'm going to write stories for them.
Again, this is just for fun. This is not set in stone because I don't know the whole songs... or even which of these are going to make the album, so... yeah.
It's just using clips from his videos.
Also, this starts from the most recent audio shared and then goes down the list of videos.
SPECIAL NOTE: I have absolutely no idea how many of these are actually going to end up on the deluxe album. I simply don't. I just kept going until I got tired. Sorry.
---------------------------
"Medicate / meditate / swear your soul to Jesus / throw a punch / fall in love / give yourself a reason..."
I think this will end up being a Dean Winchester imagine. I think somewhere around season 10 to season 11 because I think that's where we see the most distinct moments of Dean truly seeing himself as something bad and undeserving of love and forgiveness.
"I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown / In the name of someone I no longer know / For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone..."
Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto from The Bear. That boy is damaged and messy and I think this song is going to be a great way to look at the pitfalls of the behavior that we see from Carmy in the show.
"So pack up your car / put a hand on your heart / say whatever you feel / be whoever you are..."
I don't have a specific fandom, but I'm looking at a found-family story where the reader says goodbye, either to what they knew before or to their found-family. Mostly because this song reminds me of the scene in Supergirl where everyone is saying goodbye to Winn. I'm juggling between something like Titans or something like Doctor Who.
"I saw the end / it looked just like the middle / got a paper and pen / and a page with no space...."
this story is going to be so personal to me. i can already tell. I'm leaning toward a superhero story or a Supernatural story. A life after being with these people. Maybe that life was scary and seemed pointless, but now that their free, they have to deal with missing what was familiar and the guilt of not feeling grateful enough to something better.
"There's a tiny tourist trap a few miles off the interstate / and I watch as it empties out..."
I don't have a character in mind, but I have an idea that it'll be a very tearful goodbye and kiss and shit. Maybe a reunion too? Maybe?
"Quietly you're coming home from work / Forty hour week minus commute / for a dream of planting flowers on the porch / For now, my love, store-bought will have to do..."
I want to write a childhood friends-to-lover kind of thing, but I'm not sure what it'll be yet. I just know that much.
"I'm the tall glass of water you lost in your kitchen / I'm casually cruel like a senior prediction..."
This could also play as a childhood friends-to-lovers story, but I am not nearly as sold on that one. This one is such a strange one to me. It's very nostalgic but also angry?? I don't know. I'm still thinking about it. I'm kinda thinking that Hannibal might work, but there may be another Hugh Dancy character that would fit better, so I make no promises...
"County line, I'm counting down / mailboxes until my house / This place had a heartbeat / in its day..."
I'm leaning toward Doctor Who on this one. I don't know which Doctor it'll be, but I think it would work out well.
"I hear you call / me somewhere only we know / I'll hold out hope / when my eyes open, you'll show..."
This will be a very sad story. I can promise that. It's about grief and it's very complicated process. I have every intention of writing for that.
