also I love the relationship between Lune & the Pevensies. 

it’s so easy to imagine that dynamic, and what must have existed between his wife and the girls. like, suddenly the winter is over and archenland can breathe again (side note: was the witch limited to narnia? c.s. lewis isn’t clear –surprise, surprise) but there are four tiny children crowned as kings and queens.

and lune is a young man himself, but he was trained to be king, and they weren’t. they are young and parentless and in need of guidance, and lune is happy to do everything he can to help them. and archenland is narnia’s fondest friend and dearest ally, and I’m getting overwhelmed imagining what that relationship must have been like. The fondness and trust and friendship between the monarchs of these two countries is so deep (after all, Lune trusts Edmund with his only son, after his firstborn was stolen, trusts him to protect him in a foreign country and bring him home again)…and lune & edmund respect each other’s guidance; edmund himself is tempered by lune’s wisdom and that must be the dynamic that was established when the pevensies first arrived in narnia. 

it’s just really great, and I’m really feeling the Lune feels.

#good man. good king. 🥹 #remind me why I’m not thinking of narnia all the time anymore?

#narnia #the chronicles of narnia #narnia edit #susan pevensie #peter pevensie #WELP. yes this hurts infinitely more than the edmund edit #just. susan waiting for her siblings to 'grow up' #and come around to the 'real world' #meanwhile. in actuality. she's the one refusing to grow up?? #oh i'm getting susan feels again #and susan&peter especially

A modern god figure, weary and constantly shattering from holding up that impossible weight as a human, still looking for God in a man's love.

#it’s getting increasingly tragic honestly #I thought that altar line in So Long London was going to mark the beginning of a revelation BUT ALAS #like Taylor. baby. I just want to talk.

Ok so just listened to Peter by Tay—I NEEEEEED a gif series of it for Peter and Susan. It just has Narnian vibes to it (even tho it’s Peter Pan lol).

Oh????? Oh no…….

I do not gif unfortunately, but I did make a picture edit of Peter and EDMUND to it, (because those opening lyrics are INCREDIBLY Narnian even if the rest is Peter Pan, and also “the goddess of timing” made a good placeholder for Jadis) BUT—— oh no. Now that you say that, I feel like I’m starting to see the Susan angle, too, and I am DEVASTATED because I am always more invested in Peter&Susan than Peter&Edmund anyway. 🥲

Trying to avoid explicit Taylor lyrics is like those gags where a character carefully dodges a series of traps, alarms, or other dangers, narrowly reaches the end, and then sighs in relief before immediately blundering into one last trap they didn’t see coming.

#I’m not allowed to scroll anywhere ever and in theory that will be good for me #but it also sucks when I want to look at fun posts!! 😠 #but if I don’t want to get hit by a truck then I need to just not cross the road 🤷🏼‍♀️ #and this will be a lifelong avoidance until a day comes when every song has already been spoiled. #(3 days in and I have already learned 3 swears) #(My goal was to never learn any of them ever) #it’s also a mixed bag because it means I don’t know what parts of the songs I can risk #like if I hear champagne problems in a video I know to mute it before That Line in the bridge #if I hear a TTPD song? just can’t listen! have to assume the swear could be around any corner! #lest — again — I get hit with a truck. because that’s what it feels like. every. single. time. 🫠

#ohhhh this hurts me #do I not have the deleted scenes or have I just not stopped to watch them? #because this is… an experience #I’m kind of glad it’s a deleted scene because it kind of feels… just… RIGHT as bonus content #I don’t really have words for the feelings I have about this— I just have feelings #dear old annabeth & bill.

As I am raving about TTPD, allow me to also reiterate the following:

Offering 4 different versions of the album with a single different bonus track on each was greedy and shady as heck, especially with how they were marketed as limited and exclusive editions. But then to jump out and go, “Surprise! You still don’t have all the songs!” is a whole other level of cruel.

Every song should be equally available on streaming AND physical media. Justice for the banished-to-streaming tracks (If This Was A Movie, Safe And Sound, etc…) as well as the ones that are still only available on one singular version of the physical album, (Sweeter Than Fiction).

Every explicit album should have its clean counterpart sold alongside it from the initial album announcement. The only album Taylor has handled remotely well on this subject is Red TV.

For somebody who said she made the Eras Tour film because she wanted everybody to be able to share the experience even if they couldn’t attend the concert, she has released an awful lot of music that she has made clear she doesn’t want her fans to have equal access to! It’s hypocritical, and it makes it increasingly hard to respect her as an artist when her business practices are so conniving. And I say this because I do appreciate her as an artist, and so it bothers me to see her behave so low when I honestly believe she’s better than this!

So, open letter to the chairman of the Tortured Poets Department, I guess: are you in it for the art, or the money?

#taylor swift #the tortured poets department #yes just because I am enjoying the music doesn’t mean I’m not still angry #lack of physical media will be the death of art btw #things need to be preserved #and also no one needs 4 copies of the same album. there is no reason Taylor needed to sell them that way. #if she thinks it’s so important to offer ‘options’ #she should stick to different covers like she did for folklore and 1989. those were at least fun and provided equal access to the music #4 separate bonus tracks is literally not fun. it’s infuriating.

People are critiquing TTPD by saying a lot of it sounds same-y, and I’m not saying they’re wrong, but have you considered:

I love it

?

#taylor swift #the tortured poets department #idc if a lot of the production sounds similar. the production is so pretty I am content to listen to it for hours. #like… personally I thought midnights was really same-y and I didn’t like the production which made the effect grating #but in this case the music is so lovely and resonant that the similarities don’t bother me 🥰 #I feel like this music has the best qualities of all her best albums. idk.

Oh, yes, and the “you should be” in particular just TOOK ME OUT.

Ok if you are seeing this, please drop your favourite TTPD lyrics 👌🏻 (I’m not going to start, but I will come back.)

*Clean lyrics only please!

#taylor swift #the tortured poets department #ttpd #I’m avoiding explicit lyrics like the plague and not allowing myself to scroll any social media #but I want to talk about cool lyrics!! #so please indulge me and just drop every (clean) lyric that has stolen your heart or blown your mind #right now I have the end of Clara Bow stuck in my head and I cannot remember any other lyrics (let alone my favourites) #which is why I am not starting with a list of my own #but I am going to listen again and then I shall try to come back to this

"'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned." Peter // Taylor Swift

#the chronicles of narnia #narnia #peter pevensie #edmund pevensie #narnia edit #I legit had to pause after the first few lines to consider whether she'd really said what I thought she did #for a split second I was like 'oh is this an ACTUAL narnia song? on purpose?' #(it was not. BUT THOSE OPENING LYRICS ARE IDC)

[nothinggold13]

actually do hate that I can’t really participate in the Swiftie community after Taylor releases an explicit album btw.

#I banned myself from mindlessly scrolling Instagram like a month ago to prepare #have been mindlessly scrolling tumblr instead #discovered this morning that that was a mistake #I WANT TO SEE PEOPLE’S THOUGHTS AND COMPARISONS AND FAVOURITE LYRICS #ALAS THE EXPLICIT VERSIONS MAKE ME WANT TO DIE

[nothinggold13]

Plans for the foreseeable future:

listen to TTPD more

resist all urges to scroll through other people’s thoughts in order to avoid having the explicit lyrics forced down my throat

sleep at some point I guess

#tell me why my body decided 6 hours was enough sleep?? IT WAS NOT #musically this album is just SO good. and there’s so many good songs and lyrics #and then there’s a few wayward lyrics which really did not need to be in there lol #but it’s ok because most of the album is good

[nothinggold13]

imagine Taylor sharing this many lyrics with us in sneak peeks and codes and treasure hunts and then STILL going around sharing leaked lyrics before the album comes out.

#the rage that I feel— #taylor swift #the tortured poets department #i went looking for any publicized lyrics I had missed #and instead came out with leaked lyrics #like do y’all just like ruining the album for other people? is that it? #or are you so terribly selfish that waiting another 24 hours for Taylor to give us the music herself was unacceptable to you? #don’t. spread. leaks.

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

"Acceptance: in this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. People dying may precede the survivors in this state, which typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable condition of emotions."
