I Think There's Been a Glitch

GUYS I just realized sth crazy while watching this tiktok….I think the reason Taylor has red hair in so many mvs is bc it’s a play on the term RED HERRING. Red HAIR(RING). TTPD itself was a red herring and ends w the manuscript which is basically just the all too well short film (from RED TV) which she has red hair in. The glitches. Error 321. Bad BLOOD mv where she has red hair. THE RED BLOOD MOON. CHAOS 🫚 ANON = GINGER = RED HEAD = GLITCH. Glitching back to the 1989 era??…..

IT'S A CLOCK, IT CAN HELP YOU TELL TIME. She literally told us her entire plan all the way back in 2022. If the midnights vinyls make a clock that counts down to midnight then we’ve officially reached the “blood moon glitch” stage. I'm assuming 1, 2, 3 error/TPD (if you reverse the website glitch) was the moonstone vinyl so now we're at 4, 5, 6 the blood moon vinyl. The Jan 4 🫚 message tells us that we should be counting from 1-10 and not backward. And this means the final act ends in October AKA Halloween AKA pumpkin anon. "Frivolous, tenfold, 3 desires And until the clock strikes midnight Light the ground with fires." Seeing how each vinyl is a quarter of the clock and TTPD (the glitch/red blood moon/red herring) was released in April, I think it's safe to assume each quarter represents 1/4 of a year or 3 months. Which means 2025 or New Year's Day would be Midnight. So perhaps a kaylor reunion in Oct and an official coming out around Dec-Jan. This aligns w another interesting anon message we received abt New Year's Day being when an atomic bomb would go off (volcano anon?). "The real drama, the heartbreaking beauty of it all, unfolds not in a grand finale, but in the quiet unraveling. The magician's greatest illusion is the one you choose not to see." Shits abt to get crazy

#ironically my first draft of this post didn't save correctly and so i had to retype it all again which was lovely #very fitting #this woman's mind never ceases to amaze me #midnight is happening sooner than i thought #and idk how tf i figured this out #the dots just keep connecting #i literally called this forever ago w my midnights vinyls analysis #i knew there was sth to those damn vinyls #red herrings #error 321 #glitch #blood moon #chaos #ginger #ginger anon #red head #bad blood mv #lavender haze mv #gaylor #gaylor swift #kaylor #vinyls #meet me at midnight #red tv #ttpd #match made in hell #bejeweled mv #closeting #new year's day #pumpkin

1. False clues! Layer in false clues in alongside clues that lead to the truth of your plot twists.

2. Misdirect! Don't withhold from your readers, but give them a clue and then immediately follow that clue by a misdirecting clue.

3. Means, motive, and opportunity! Give your characters means, motive, and opportunity that will all lead to the twist.

4. True/False Clues! Weave in false clues alongside truthful clues early on and then sprinkle them in from there on. However, characters shouldn't be handed clues; they should be earned.

5. Lastly! Establish both red herrings and the antagonist's real guilt simultaneously.

Hope this is helpful to those writers who are trying to catch readers by surprise! 🤎

It’s a tale as old as time; girls like something, boys mock it, give it a few years then boys claim they’re the real fans and any girl who says she also likes it is a fake “pick me” whose pretending for male attention.

I’m seeing YouTube comments under Backstreet Boys and NSync music videos of boys saying crap like “you know they’re good because guys also liked their music back in the day”.

lmao people will just say any type of shit in the youtube comments section huh =__= and like, i know that the temptation is to say no actually guys as a social class did not like these boy bands but that's a distraction! the point at issue is that actually no, whether or not guys like a thing is not the determiner of whether or not that thing is good.

ya know. if the show god is giving us is on a recorded medium. then much like how what people know and remember can be affected. can what god sees and records, and then shows us, also be affected?

we saw the angels in heaven forgetting that jim existed after they interacted with him as aziraphale's assistant bookseller.

we saw god's recorder camera not be able to enter newt's house and bump off the window.

what if s2 is all messed up because az and crowley, perhaps others too, know that god is watching and they're deliberately affecting the "show" so that god doesn't see certain things? what if that's been the case all along?

because if god knows, then god will change her mind or take action against them to prevent whatever it is they're doing. in order to successfully take down god, take down the system, you have to pull a fast one on god, which means you have to figure out how to make god not see what you're doing, not see anything coming.

you gotta make god look somewhere else. like how aragorn made sauron look at his main character attack on the gates, away from sam and frodo with the ring. like how aziraphale did something with that briefcase in the graveyard, and something with moving that big crate of his before the demon attack. the halo toss while crowley was up in heaven losing time. red herrings everywhere--which is the true sleight of hand and which is a dead end?

what if the whole idea was to not show us the real jesus, so that he grew up with people, just like the antichrist did? so that he would save the earth, just like the antichrist did? and to do that, god needed to not meddle with him, not be watching? what if god also lost jesus, and that was the whole point? the savior is made not by deliberate invention, but by accident. because to forgive and to save is done by choice, by real intent, not because it's commanded or forced or pressured, even by god. but because it's the right thing to do, and it's not the right thing unless it's truly wanted, truly a gift--otherwise it's forced and isn't sacrifice. isn't forgiveness, but a debt that generates resentment and ownership.

Red Herrings — Zax Armoire (Dot Dash Sounds)

Red Herrings makes a blaring, stomping racket that blasts past post-punk, garage and even punk itself to a mid-1960s amp-destroying sound akin to the MC5, the Stooges and Blue Cheer. Two guitars, a bass, drums and a singer all play so loud that the sound blurs into a jet runway roar, little bits flying free of the wreckage, a barrage of percussion, a rattle of tambourine, a blowtorch eruption of guitar.

A screaming squall ushers “Perception” into being. It lurches to life on a lava-flow of bass, the ricochet shrapnel of drumming pinging off a solid wall of sound. Zach Tisdell makes himself heard over all this in a ragged shouts, a melody implied rather than executed in the way his slurred lines rise and fall over the mayhem. He disappears into the white hot sheen of two guitars fighting and then surfaces again, defiant, pissed, disgusted. “Six Floors Up” strikes power chord poses, the churn and storm of a Stooge-y riff, breaking for massive, clanging exclamations. “68 Winter Street Blues,” the album’s best, does that MC5-ish trick of turning the heaviest, hoariest blues licks into antic liberation. These songs pin you to the wall with volume, but also have a little frolic in them.

The fog of aggression clears once in a while, enough to suggest that maybe Red Herrings have another, subtler card to play. In “Rat Trap,” there’s more of a jangle, more of a melody in the guitars. You can hear all the parts for themselves, the pulse of the bass, the drawl of tambourine, the voice haggard and worn, yelling, sure, but with a little bit of a groan in it. It’s the kind of track that makes you wonder if a little more clarity would be a good thing for this band or if it would dilute the impact.

The song, “Sightseer” intersperses a found recording, someone wondering, “Where are people going anyway? Always going someplace. Crazy. Excited. Taking a lot of vitamin pills. Drinking. Overstimulated.”  It launches afterwards into a staccato riff, a primitive howl, an agitated tangle of classic rock and roll sounds, all good enough to make you hope these guys continue taking those vitamins and getting crazy excited about what they’re doing.

I’m glad I asked because I was legit ready to pick through the last 5 chapters with a fine tooth comb thinking I missed something 😂😂😂😂

hahaha no dw I'm so sorry about that!

it was just a way to show that Matty was being paranoid to the point of assuming/imagining things that were really really improbable were done to him on purpose

:((

Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.

Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.

He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.

He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.

Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"

"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.

#I have more ideas in my head #but I didn't want to make the post too long #might repost later #might write a small fanfic off of this #I actually don't have life360 but my friend does and I'm basing this off of how she interacts with her mom #batfamily #batfam #headcanon #dick grayson #nightwing #bruce wayne #batman #jason todd #red hood #tim drake #red robin #cardinal tim drake #stephanie brown #spoiler

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd ~ Agatha Christie

Reading Dates: March 3, 2024 – March 17, 2024 I feel like I’ve been doing a good job reading outside of my normal genre this year. The Murder of Roger Ackoryd is my first Agatha Christie novel. I’ve seen a couple of her movie adaptations but I’ve never actually picked up one of her books. I did really love her Doctor Who episode. This is a Hercule Poirot story – which threw me a little at…

Talia introduced Damian to Bruce as "their second child", and now Bruce is mentally panicking because there's another one, somewhere, when this unspoken first child is Jason.
