“It’s all part of the fucking story”

Welp maybe I’ll be right one of these days. I’m playing my part aren’t I? “Dear reader if it feels like a trap.” “The more that you say the less I know, wherever you stray I follow”

okay so in my life everything kind of feels accidental

no clue why i opened this playlist today - doesn’t really matter

i just stumble from one situation into the next 🫠

not a mastermind like @daisyswift3

but eddy boy - you crushed my soul with this mv!

(gave me brain freeze first by letting ron weasly play you 😅)

hop the fence - join the club

step into the daylight

or not

but we got you

no fame = less restricted humanity

it’s a ‘b’ not an ‘h’

of course you did taylor 🧡💙

if we let the sad kids be sad

so that they can make music for the sad kids

then we’ll never brake the cycle

comfort does not equal happiness

Ok I could be completely wrong and seeing patterns that aren’t there (it wouldn’t be the first time) but I think Ed Sheeran and Sabrina Carpenter might come out tomorrow. I think they’re the next dominoes to cascade or FALL after Shawn Mendes. Let me explain

I think this all ties into the election too hence all the red, white, and blue and 4th of July easter eggs lately 🇺🇸 (Gregory’s Before the Sun mentions the 4th of July).

TAYLOR f*cking ALISON SWIFT

🤯🤯🤯🤯

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

i’m scared

this is starting to feel like a never ending fever dream

or more like a (girlfriend in) a coma

it’s serious i know

but please take us with you when you go

Swifties start crying because it dawns on them that Taylor is already pushing them in the right direction. Isn't it funny to watch?

Hey! Yes and als no lolll. The YES CAPITAL LETTERS YES is for the 'fans' (hetlors - the name says it all;)) with their keyboard courage - the lowlifes who feel the need to bully/dox/harrass people because they probably have a sadass life themselves. they caged her for years and years. I'm not a violent person but f* off. Go live on a planet far far away from here and don't ever come back.

Then there's the people brainwashed by society to believe that comphet is the way to go. I truly believe that most of these people won't have a problem with taylor finally getting her humanity back.

Look i don't know taylor personally (obviously hahaha) but maybe she'll try to ghost the first group, phase them out (no f* clue how) - she could release an acid rock record for example lmao to refresh the fandom a bit - the real fans will pick up on it being a bit - cause at this point this woman has made so many good records that she has more than enough credit to do something unhinged crazy! But then again... the stupidity of these parasocial delulu's is impressive. Watching the TTPD set on the eras tour made m want to scratch my eyeballs out. so hmm don't know actually.

it's a tough coockie to crack but i do hope she knows how many people will have her back no matter what. And that we're here to stay.

BUT YES THESE ASSHOLES - I'M READY FOR IT!

just don't be an asshole in life and let people live - how difficult is it?ps short answers ain't my thing;)

‘representation is crucial.’

The Friends comment had me..

But it's actually tragic; the non-existense of representation - growing up as a queer millennial kid

Can’t say that this did the trick though 😂 or saved me from internalised homophobia.

Friends, you will never not be my favourite 🧡

I don’t even care who the author is, I’m mildly obsessed with these poems 💗💗

PS the first ever lesbian kiss I saw on TV was Carol and Susan on Friends in 1999. I was 10. What was yours?

Wait what!? Are they for real?!

A DANDELION

And is Justin Vernon literally pointing at it while wearing the albatross face mask?!

I didn’t see the signs no (well the albatross ☑️)

HAPPY FREAKING HALLOWEEN TO US?!

What parallel universe did we step into

🎃 Imagine this. You are walking through your yard. It's one of your favorite places, all sprawling garden rows and vibrant green grass. There are herbs for cooking and spell casting. There are daisies - so many daisies - in every shade of your rainbow. Up ahead you spot a small cropping of weeds, and set your foot on each stepping stone of the path that leads right to them. The house is a little farther now, but you are still within the confines of your tall and impenetrable fence. Nothing comes through that fence. Not now and not ever. Within it you are safe. Your lover and your fresh baked buns are safe. (The buns, of course, are in the oven turning golden as you speak. It's an old family recipe, jotted lovingly on a recipe card.) You reach the weeds and pluck a dandelion. Caught up in a moment of buoyant childlike whimsy, you make a wish and blow, blow, blow. Hundreds of featherly florets scatter. You laugh. You watch as they ride the breeze, one floret in particular. It drifts and dances like all the others, but as the wind changes direction it swoops over the fence. You lose sight of it, and send a silent apology to whoever ends up with a cropping of dandelions in their yard. Did you know that dandelions don't need to be purposefully planted all at once? All it takes is for one small seed to catch on the breeze, and by then it has spread irreversibly. You'd never know where the initial seed came from, because it has started so small and floated so far. You swallow, staring at the fence. It was you who blew the dandelion in the first place. It was you who ventured too closely to the edge of the garden. It was chance and weather that landed it where it did. You breathe in, and deep and out, expelling the growing anxiety from your body. You turn back to the house. You have those homemade buns to tend to, after all. But as you reach the door you can't help but cast a furtive glance over your shoulder, to the spot where that dandelion floret disappeared. You can never blame someone for the dandelions that sprout in your grass. It’s untraceable and irrelevant. They all come from the same place anyway: a private moment performed too near the property line. Of course the recipient would pluck the weeds so unwittingly planted. Of course they, too, would blow, blow, blow and spread the florets far and wide. Once you blow a dandelion, you never get it back. It isn’t yours anymore. 🎃

also i really like the stuff jack and taylor were doing with the synths and other production bits on midnights. leaning into vocal effects on midnight rain and dear reader, echoey drums on anti-hero like the monster on the hill is lurching towards you through a big empty space, the way bejeweled literally sounds like it's glinting and sparkling, the kind of fuzzy electronic sounds behind labyrinth, the background vocal of her yelling 'i'm so in love!' in paris, the ominous synth throbbing behind maroon that makes you feel like you're there with her looking across the city skyline in the hour before dawn

13 minutes you say?

Okay okay.. just another koincidence I’m sure.

Karlie Elizabeth BETTY Kloss!

Taylor Alison JAMES Swift!

Please, I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative. It’s ruining my life 😭

I can’t listen to ‘random’ music anymore without you two koincidencing (yes – I just decided that it’s a verb).

I've had some tricks up my sleeve Takes one to know one You're a cowboy like me
