favourite 2024 albums → THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY by Taylor Swift

"An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it."

im sure lots of people will listen to TTPD and discount it because she talks about matty in it (and ofc people have their valid issues with him, but im not gonna go into that), but the whole lead up to the album has been “we’re investigating,” and imo a lot of us took that as her saying “we’re investigating why my relationship ended” whereas the album is actually about “we’re investigating this caricature of a girl who went through something life-changing, and she has apparently gone crazy” and she’s basically done a public autopsy of herself; something that the media/fans/public have done since the beginning, but this time around she was like “i’ll do it to myself.”

hence, the album aesthetic feels so sterile too imo. she’s trying to distance herself from the subject but!!!!!! she is the subject. and in conclusion, i think what she’s really putting down is “the summary of the investigation of this girl is that she went insane because of what happened to her, but it’s hopefully gonna be okay”

sidenote: i think what we need to take away from the album is to… let her live…

I hate it here is for all the girlies who grew up reading books as a precocious child and dreamt of worlds that exist only in a sophisticated imagination, for the girls who live in delusions

#i hate it here is about how every time i close my eyes I'm in rivendell and it's safe and quiet there #taylor swift #i haye it here #the tortured poets department #escapist #rivendell #reblog

I literally can’t stop thinking about how the literal FIRST lyrics we ever heard about Joe were “Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him” and then spends every song on TTPD about how loving him was literally killing her. Idk idk idk

the album is brutally honest, satirical, a bit cringe here and there, depressing and experimental at the same time, I would not side eye anyone for saying "I don't understand this" or "this isn't my cup of tea" or even "what the fuck is this" because it's obviously not a 1989 or midnights kind of album for everyone. I understand why she said she "had to put this out" but while she is at the peak of her career, she released an album that is not for beginners nor really for overall critics, it's knees deep into the taylor swift lore and probably the most herself an album has ever been, that does not mean it is a masterpiece but it makes it so insanely special

You look like Stevie Nicks

In ‘75 the hair and the lips

Crowd goes wild at her fingertips

half moonshine a full eclipse

HAPPY TOLKIEN READING DAY! (25TH MARCH)

He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary.

So, Tumblr is excited about the Ides of March, because that's when Caesar got stabbed a fair number of times in the Senate.

However, it's also the morning when dawn rises over the crest of the battlefield to show Gondor that the Riders of Rohan have come and the violin goes wild and Theoden gives a truly great speech and then they fight their way down the hill all while screaming "DEATH!!!" at the top of their damn lungs and I'm crying just thinking about it? Because it's arguably the best scene ever to come from The Lord of the Rings and therefore, all of cinema?

Happy March 15th to Peter Jackson and happy Ides to Elon Musk, for no reason at all.

#when i saw this scene in theaters i legit cried i was riddled in goosebumps it was the best moment of my entire life #ides of march #riders of rohan #Rohan #théoden #the lord of the rings #lotr #battle of the pelennor fields #reblog

Something about Astarion pushing you down onto the dirt he had to claw out of. Staring at you, alive and breathing and looking up at him with nothing short of adoration from within the very dirt he choked on. You, your love, his love like a flower blooming out of the ashes of his torment and misery and death. Finding pleasure and comfort, the likes of which he probably didn’t think was possible for him anymore. Not discarding his past, growing out of it, through it, climbing up through the weeds into sweaty, messy, beautiful life.
