think what pisses me off the most about seven and raffi is that it would’ve been so easy to have them be in a long distance relationship (a mention here and there, space skype, having raffi include seven when speaking on family and vice versa etc) and not have it affect the greater story at all. yet they just. didn’t try in the least.

a canon gay ship that ended the previous season deciding to finally give their relationship a try, opens the new season with nary a word and im supposed to clap? make that make mf sense because im not getting it! what’s worse, they never actually reveal what happened between them to cause the split and when they finally meet, they move around each other like fucking strangers. just giving absolute nothing.

and the show pretending their relationship just fizzled out is such nasty work. like the way they played it with no intimacy, hardly a personal word, a lack of privacy, no references to their relationship or why it dissolved (professionalism my ass!) plus the worlds most awkward chaperoned post break up convo was all so intentional and insidious. might as well have come out and said fuck the gays lol.

because there was literally no reason to not have them at least try. wouldn’t have affected the show in any way other than injecting some much needed joy into a lifeless, uneven season filled with old things presented anew. but not engaging with them and dragging things out (10 episodes that could’ve been a fucking email) was cruel, obvious and beyond unnecessary.

and, as the show is over, the fact that they’re on the same ship does little to curb my annoyance because in truth, it means nothing.

#seven x raffi #raffi musiker #seven of nine #it was so intentional and that’s what gets me #it is what it is sure. but what it was was shit :) #.rfi #okay now im in my idgaf era lmao

"When Reputation arrived in 2017, the media was neck-deep in an exhausting thinkpiece war about what Taylor Swift meant to pop culture – and Twitter was aflame debating whether she was a saint or a snake. Realizing she could no longer choose to be excluded from these narratives, Swift did the next best thing: She owned them."

Yeah once again I am not og anon but Cowboy Like me is the yeehaw version of Ready For It, I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

*clears throat like Taylor in the beginning of RFI*

- Ready For It: "Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him", "I was a robber first time that he saw me" = Cowboy Like Me "You're a cowboy like me", "You're a bandit like me".

- "I'm so very tame now, never be the same now, now" = "Now I'm never gonna love again".

- "I know I'm gonna be with you so I take my time" = "Forever is the sweetest con".

- "Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted" = "And the ladies lunching have their stories about when you passed through town but that was all before I locked it down".

- "Me, (...) stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry" = "And the old men that I've swindled really did believe I was the one"

Both songs are about two people falling for each other when they were not looking for love at all: they (con artists in Cowboy Like Me or thiefs in Ready For It) were not really in it for searching for commitment when they met each other, but somehow read into the other persons' tricks and identified each other as equals.

well said and thank you so much for writing this all out!!

i just know that all of you who claim not to like ready for it were absolutely losing it, screaming “KNEW HE WAS A KILLER FIRST TIME THAT I SAW HIM WONDER HOW MANY GIRLS HE HAD LOVED AND LEFT HAUNTED BUT IF HES A GHOST THEN I CAN BE A PHANTOM HOLDING HIM FOR RANSOM!!!!” when you heard it live on the eras tour and that’s the power of reputation. she will always be famous

rep tour felt so big to me (and it was!) like the main stage was crazy, the 2 b-stages were crazy, the intro was crazy, everything felt so big, and somedays i can’t believe that eras tour is bigger than that. not just slightly bigger but much more bigger. and i think the best part of it all is that taylor still feels so accessible. im just so proud of her so yeah

The run of Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore imo have just the BEST opening/closing track pairings in terms of the overall story the album tells. Like, I can never really pick which pairing is my favorite because they all just work so well both in contrast to each other and also within the narrative of the album as a whole. Do you have a favorite (or disagree and like one I didn't list?) I wonder if TTPD will have a similar feeling.

red (state of grace, begin again) hands down, but reputation (ready for it?, nyd) is a close second. and that's because, imo, they reflect the same sentiments - they're both reflecting on the fragile, thrilling beginnings of love.

state of grace takes place before a huge loss, but she expresses already knowing she's changed for good ("i'll never be the same"); ready for it, similarly, expresses a permanent change ("never be the same now.")

begin again sees love sprouting again after a devastating loss, and welcomes the small, mundane signs of healing ("i watched it begin again...you start to talk about the movies, that your family watches every single christmas and i want to talk about that, and for the first time, what's past is past.") we're left with a feeling of warmth and hope.

nyd expresses the freedom she feels, knowing this new love could last forever, and she describes it in these mundane moments as well ("candle wax and polaroids on the hardwood floor, you and me, forevermore, don't read the last page but i stay.") it feels secure.
