I think TTPD is so intentionally vague and then she’s like btw Kim k this isn’t over I hate you and your daughter is my biggest fan and you will never escape me and the consequences of what you’ve done, also my mother who wouldn’t hurt a fly also hates your guts, now back to me escaping into daydreams because I’m depressed

this is a long as fucking meeting

#I even planned my long work drive for Monday #thinking I’d get through this album 5-6 times #now I’ll be luck to get in 3! #taylor swift

[apple-grass-and-smiles]

what’s interesting about this album is that she seems to explore every type of lyricism that she’s ever tried. there’s pop. there’s weird. there are folkmore style metaphors. there’s intensely diaristic writing. there are larger stories carefully placed between the lines of specific short narratives. there’s a lot of everything. she is in the weeds and pulled back at the same time. jaime had a lot of discourse about the betty speeches last year and wondered if taylor might’ve chosen a middle ground between fictional narratives and live-streamed public autopsies, and the middle ground turned out to be all of it all the time.

#it feels almost like she’s throwing things that have worked before at the situation #praying that at least one will work #it’s desperation #taylor swift

can we please take a break from the meeting. can we all take naps. and then can we come back and go into breakout rooms to share our notes. can the chairman please come and explain herself. I have Questions.

TAYLOR SWIFT Fortnight Music Video Teaser (2024)

#the choice to have her curls in the final gif #I suspect that may be representing a younger Taylor’s experience #taylor swift

Obviously we have to wait for the video to know the story, but for anyone who’s studied any kind of social history/psychology/sociology/etc. And knows a little about the diagnosis of hysteria, Victorian mores, the use of lobotomies/shock therapy/etc to treat women who failed to live up to patriarchal ideals and the minimizing of women’s physical and mental health issues historically in the medical and psychiatric fields plus the old Hollywood of it all… the imagery is Telling The Story. I am fucking SEATED.

#there’s so much information even with so little content #taylor swift

“recency bias blah blah blah” NO this is the most excited i’ve ever been for a taylor swift album ever

#I want to crawl out of my skin (affectionate somehow) #I just know this album is going to blow me out of the water #taylor swift

[apple-grass-and-smiles]

why'd you whisper in the dark i love you just to leave me in the night? it's ruining my life

#one more moment to lose my mind about this set before the album in a few hours #this just perfectly captures the cycle they’re in right now #they keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and don’t know when to try sn new tactic #neither of them will share everything #both of them will make choices for the other #and they both want the other one to stop and change that habit #but guys you can’t shout your partner into a change like that #so old habits die screaming #chenford #the rookie #op please know that this is truly one of my favorite sets for them ever #lucy chen #tim bradford #1989 edits for everything 2k14 #even though it’s not 1989 or 2k14

Doesn’t the fact that AotC!Obi-Wan barks, “Anakin! How many times have I told you to stay away from power couplings?” sorta imply that what we think is electrocution numero uno might be (/is probably) far from the first?

instead of self-medicating with anything normal anakin actually self medicates by inducing electrical injuries to his person
