(Pandemic) We all needed our methods of escapism, and that was one of mine. I just kind of needed to create, not just an album, but... folklore was a state of mind for me. It was like... In my imagination, I could just escape to this sort of wooden cabin, in the middle of the forest, and I could just pretend like what was happening wasn't really happening. So that was basically the first step, was envisioning this album, and so it kind of became this imaginary vacation spot I would go in my head, you know?

"So we have brought the folklore cabin to Detroit! So folklore, folklore is an album that I started writing about two days into the pandemic. I just, we all needed our methods of escapism, and that was one of mine. I just kind of needed to create, not just an album, but folklore was a state of mind for me. In my imagination, I could just escape to this sort of wooden cabin, in the middle of the forest, and I could just pretend like what was happening wasn't really happening. So that was basically the first step, was envisioning this album, and so it kind of became this imaginary vacation spot to go in my head, you know? And when I was writing these songs, I also kind of took a little vacation from the way that I usually write. I usually write about something I have personally gone through, and exactly how I felt about that, you know? So it was kind of fun to be able to write an album and sort of be like, 'Okay, maybe with this one, we'll sort of fictionalize it a little bit. I'll create characters. I can name them different things, and maybe we can have these different story arcs.' And there are a few songs that go together. There's this like, teenage love triangle threesome arc. And so I. created a story between those three characters, and you know, when I would try to come up with names, it was just easiest for me to pull names from my real life, so the names that were actually named after real people that I love very much were James, Inez, and Betty!"

today attack on titan anime has ended. i discovered this anime in 2016 and soon after watching the first season i picked up the manga. the love story between historia reiss and ymir was my wlw sapphic awakening. yumihisu is my favourite ship in fiction and historia is one of my comfort characters. i love her so much. after being introduced to aotwt in 2020 it was a big surprise to me how deeply misunderstood and mischaracterized historia’s character is. she is a lesbian. ymir is a lesbian too. but that’s a whole other discussion. i want to celebrate them and thank Isayama and both of the studios for creating the story and the wonderful characters. to my dear historia - i love you 🩷
she must’ve had a sign saying „no straight people allowed” on the door 😭 this whole party still feels like a fever dream to me. taylor really started this year by throwing the gayest party ever. just by looking at the guest list and the way she poses, what other gaylor proof do you need? 🥴
