and when i write a fic about bobby callin ellen in a panic because dean, sixteen years old, has been left by john at sonny's and there's nothing he can goddamn do. what then
I’ve been thinking a lot about the photography for the album (as I am wont to do) and once again am amazed at how Taylor and Beth Garrabant came to work together by happenstance and it has unlocked yet another visual medium through which Taylor can tell the story of her work.
The fact that Taylor initially reached out to Beth for the folklore photoshoot in 2020 not just because she admired her work, but most importantly because she worked solo which was important during the initial Covid lockdown and adhering to safety protocols, and she liked the 35mm aesthetic. This could have easily been a one-off venture like I think most of her other shoots were, but something about Beth and her approach made Taylor feel safe enough to not only keep working with her, but expose herself with each one to more vulnerability and storytelling through the photos. They’ve captured lightning in a bottle together and I think it must speak to Beth’s talent as an artist and compassion as a person that Taylor has trusted her with this incredibly vulnerable side of herself she hasn’t really explored much until their partnership began.
Not to be all cupcake-y, but in some ways it feels like the universe took 2020 Taylor and said “I’m going to put you in the orbit of these creative collaborators who are going to throw a blanket on you and keep you warm” and that just catapulted her into the creative supernova we’ve seen since then. The collective she is part of now is just something to behold.
Every time they say “This is a story of four teens searching for their lost dad’s in a world forever changed after that one time their grandparents unleashed an eldritch god” at the top of podcast my partner and I say “Ummm actually it was Lark who released the Doodler” in unison for comedic effect
i really love this line because that adventure had absolutely nothing to do with morty, nothing he could’ve done or said during it would’ve changed the events of it, he said this because he literally just missed morty. rick walking in froopyland with beth arguing with her while thinking ‘man this would be so much better if i was arguing with morty instead’
i talk abt/ draw summer so little but she is like. my fav fav i love her sooo much n i love the specific niche she presents to the story that i rarely ever see in media but also rnm does a LOT of casual things u rarely see in long form media I LOVE HER!!!!!!!
I thought it was only one-sided from Annabeth. 💀🙉🙉 I thought it was Thalia with whom Luke was supposed to have a love line. Why Annabeth. Since when? How? Wth?
I read the new Elin Hildebrand book over the weekend (it comes out next month), and she had a character say,
"What's good with you and Lamont? Are you linking?"
and I cannot stop thinking about this woman who thinks 20 somethings talk like this. Who talks like this!!
Also I want to commend her on creating a character who is EXACTLY like every single nantucket character she's ever created, including only listening to yacht rock, but making her a ~~Lesbian~~. Like, not even ONE muna song in that playlist! I love it. I love this. Elin Hildebrand I know this is your last book but may you never stop writing 🙏🏻
