Laurent X Dorothy - Tumblr Posts

Second post for SONG OF CHOICE 🤗 (still need a better name tho) ☺️

*contains spoilers for the great pretender season 2*

Fandom; the great pretender

Ship: Laurent Thierry and Dorothy

Song; Ghost of you by five seconds of summer (I think my chemical romance sang it first but I’m not sure)

Reason; It’s about a guy basically hallucinating the love of his life after she dies or leaves and if that doesn’t scream Laurent after Dorothy dies I don’t know what will. Great song it’s really good and it actually took a while for it to click that; oh this is Laurent. This could be sang by Laurent some days after Dorothy dies. And he’s mopping about this big house that used to be theirs, waiting for her to pull the wool over his eyes; and come out with this was all and elaborate trick for my own amusement, or to keep him in the con life, or for whatever reason and she doesn’t. And that breaks him a little more every day. And he sees her everywhere; both in her stuff and the places they sat but he also literally sees her in his self destructive caused hallucinations and fever dreams. The lines “ so I drown it out, like I always do/ dancing through our house with the ghost of you” is just so much about how Laurent would rather drink to see her hallucinations, although they torment him, that live in a world that she’s not in. Before he committed to that long con he was basically doing the same thing that he was doing before Dorothy came barging into his life with her cons and her schemes and her smile, he was running away.

So definitely listen to the song l, it’s great and if you do and have any feelings about it definitely send an ask or something 🤗

Dorothy pls come back!!!!😭😭
