#shit poets say

[agirlwiththoughtsandnegativity]

oh sorry you’re right I forgot that an album specifically had to cater to everything you like and nothing can be different and it all has to be up to your crazy standards which you change everyday. and she better not put her real feelings on it because you don’t like what she feels. it can’t possibly be good because it’s not the one you imagined in your head so it objectively has to be horrible! And the rest of us can’t like it either we’re delusional!

grief is fucking terrifying.

it covers everything in

such a massive layer of pain.

of confusion. of rage.

i can't breathe through it.

one minute i'm sitting in

my childhood bedroom

and the next, i can't see.

i wave my hand in front of my face

and no one greets me in return.

i don't know who i am without her.

Swifties openly making death threats to Joe Alwyn in new podcast video.

Genuinely, what the fuck is wrong with these people?

The fact that they tried to pass off the death wishes as a joke, even though they literally said “I want him dead. I’m not kidding. I want him to die.”

But we know they wouldn’t consider it a joke if someone said that shit about them- or Taylor.

Also, I will be WAITING UNTIL I’M DEAD for a certain popstar @taylorswift to say something against her fans sending death threats. This is CONSTANT and out of control. I know you don’t care about your fans sending death threats to people on your behalf but you should still pull an Ariana Grande and address it. At some point, Taylor, you must realise that not addressing it makes YOU look bad?

thinking about todd and his resolve toward… not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with what’s being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesn’t necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story ‘from camp in sixth grade’, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesn’t voice it until they all have). he’s not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, he’s just lonely, and he’s generally okay with that. he doesn’t have friends and that’s fine, he doesn’t participate in class and that’s fine, he doesn’t have a relationship with his family and that’s fine—he could live without any real connection and he’d have been, more or less, fine.

the thing about when he says “i can take care of myself just fine!” is that he isn’t really wrong, you can infer that he’s been doing it his entire life anyway, it’s that ‘taking care of yourself’ isn’t the same thing as really living or being happy. todd’s an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but he’s also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isn’t friendless because he’s an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, he’s friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neil’s unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but aren’t really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)

there’s obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie he’s all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. he’s already accepted being the family disappointment, and he’s already accepted he’ll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesn’t like it, but he’d have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but he’d have managed. he’d done it for that long already, anyhow.

#and like obviously it’s BAD in the long run and his isolation IS only making his life worse but… genuinely he’d have been alright #all things considered #it’s super interesting to me how it’s neil who starts the domino effect of todd’s life becoming Less Shit #both by beliving in him and putting faith in him that he’s never seen before and refusing to let him hide away #but it isn’t a savior moment on neil’s part #and i find it so odd when people frame it as one #todd is like… actively irritated at him in that scene 😭 #neil is right that todd needs to get out of his shell and put himself out there and Believe in himself #but todd can’t accept it yet because he can’t see what neil sees in him yet and doesn’t believe it exists at all #and it frustrates him because unlike everyone else neil REFUSES to give up on him #and as far as todds concerned it’ll be for nothing #as far as todd’s concerned ​neil isn’t a savior or a hero in that scene he’s an annoyance #a necessary one in the grand scheme of things but an annoyance all the same #i think people forget that just because todd DOES want to break out of his shell (‘don’t you think you could be?’ / ‘no! i… i don’t know!’ + #‘come on you heard keating don’t you want to *do* something about it?’ / ‘*yes* but…’) doesn’t mean he knows how or believes he actually CAN #todds autonomy can be taken away from him a lot (ironic) and he can be twisted into someone with no opinions or thoughts or whims + #outside of neil but that isn’t really the case #and a part of that blame lands on the movie because todd doesn’t get explored a lot but there’s still evidence of him being his own person #he’s not a yesman and he tells neil when his ideas are stupid (keeping the audition from his father) or he just doesn’t personally agree + #(the entire ‘no’ scene) and he functions perfectly well when neil isn’t around and while they aren’t focuses + #there are short scenes where todds alone or scenes that start eith them apart that make it clear they aren’t attatched to each other + #in the way people can often write them to be (that is in the trenches if the other is missing) #this post and all these tags are my long winded way of saying FUCK the codependent anderperry thing some people subscribe to it makes me #mad #neil’s goal is to help todd grow into himself and become his own person and find his identity more than anything #and todd doesn’t need neil to hold his hand to do literally anything and everything he’s a normal guy with anxiety #come on guys #dps #dead poets society #todd anderson

Ok, so I'm going to do what I think is a pretty small version of this note 📝 thing and ask for some help without bothering anyone directly. So---uh 20 notes and I will make a new ao3 and repost my queliot fanfic when it's done. Also, if you don't know who they are or are not interested, thats fine. Please give notes anyway. it doesn't mean you have to read it, of course 😉 😊 ☺️

need ur opinion on barty & pandora’s relationship bc i always saw them as really close but almost only behind closed doors or only with their friends?? barty has his whole shtick of being someone who “doesn’t care” and seems entirely indifferent to almost everyone (besides evan, reg, dorcas) and so when people see little ms sunshine pandora rosier walking next to him they’re always surprised?? well surely it must be because she’s evan’s twin right?? wrong!! barty always somehow gets roped into pandora’s mini quests!! he walks around the school with wet pants for the whole day because pandora insisted she needed help finding specific kinds of rocks in the lake that morning!! barty’s not a particularly sentimental guy, but you’re crazy if you think he ever threw out any of the random things pandora’s given him over the years… (truthfully he wanted to throw away the purple sparkly button she had found and given to him when they were 12, but he felt such an awful sense of guilt that he dug back through the trash, found it and has kept a shoebox underneath his bed of what she’s given him ever since.) i think pandora also never gave him the whole “if you hurt my brother i’ll kill you” talk because she just knew they were made for eachother in some weird way, but barty definitely gives anyone pandora’s dating that talk (maybe accompanied by a silent, but dead eyed regulus/evan/dorcas?) barty & pandora both fall asleep on the other one and she keeps his favorite snacks in her bag because he gets “hangry” she claims. he knows how she takes her tea and if he doesn’t have time in the morning there’s his favorite coffee ready to drink!! in a weird way i think barty almost values her everlasting kindness/naivety?something he feels he lost too young? almost mirror each other in the sense that they both value their individuality so deeply, but have also been isolated a lot throughout their lives and have had very few people to truly trust, yet turned out so so so differently? barty being more closed off, pandora being more open, etc. etc. they both share a protectiveness over all their friends, but their rage is entirely different, barty’s more loud and pandora’s more quiet. someone says something bad about pandora and barty’s beating them up, but if someone says something bad about barty pandora is absolutely dosing their morning juice with a potion that’ll make their skin turn purple for a month. idk!!! i feel like you could probably explain this better xx i have to thank you for the rosekiller, bcj, lily evans brainrot!!!

this is honestly such a perfect ask i dont want to tarnish it in any way... thank you for your words anon you're a preeminent understander and ill be thinking about them forever now

#a #fave #<- HONESTLY #THE LITTLE NUANCES AND DETAILS... the buttons the shovel talk the unlikely similarities.. OHHHH #@anon ik you asked for my thoughts but i just want to file this precious letter away as it..... however if u want to return to the inbox #and say some shit like “Ooogh barty pandora friendship” I can write you up a long thing sjfskjfh #I have the best anons on this website you guys are gifted fr. prophets and poets #LIKE IM JUST SITTING HERE READING THIS. THIS IS A ONESHOT TO ME

[dont-open-dead-inside-25]

anyway. listening to tortured poet's department and honestly it just feels like i've heard it before? like none of them sound different from eachother... they just sound like generic "taylor swift". like it's fine... but that's all. i would not be able to pick any of these out of a lineup. they feel... stale. manufactured? lacking in any real spark. i'm not feeling any feelings, it's just pretty noises

Edit to add: I should've said this earlier but I'm saying it now - I do genuinely like Taylor Swift. She's my top artist of all time on Spotify and I got Reputation on CD when it came out. I listened to Midnights when that came out and really liked it. I grew up listening to 1989. I wanted to like this album.

Kvasir messes me up so so so fucking much you guys. Like I understand the vikings had a different approach to death and yada yada so forth whatever arguments you wanna make they're reasonable but still it. I just.

You mean this beloved man, known for his wisdom and poem and song, and who went around helping people with his wisdom and poem and song and was dearly beloved by the gods just. You guys he was straight up murdered and his blood stolen for magic fucking mead. There's no revenge for his murder or anything it's just that Odin saved his mead.

"Folk declares that every skald (poet) has a drop of Kvasir's blood in him. ... because a world without it's poets would be too dreadful a place to image."

Messed up or not, he lives on in poets, storytellers, and songwriters alike- all those with the understanding of the power of word, the wisdom to yield it.

In The Bifrost Incident it's still the same. His blood pumping and fueling the machine, running through arcane glyphs. He's always just been used for his blood, and even more irony drawn from it likely being Odin gaining the most use from his blood.

And yet, no matter how miniscule it may seem, Kvasir still lives on in his universe there too, in poets and songwriters and storytellers- somehow, The Mechanisms carry a piece of him in their travels ever since his death and Yddrasil's fall, just as you and I may have his blood in our veins.

#RAAAAAAA KVASIR!!!!!!! HE WAS THE FIRST POET I'M PUNCHING AIR!!!!!! #as someone who feels drawn to the power of word (i like writing heehoo) he messes me UP #also to clarify my books say that Odin wanted a draught of the mead bc the mead gives the drinker the powers of kvair #and Odin didn't need kavsir's wisdom odin already got that from the well he wanted kavsir's tongue #his ability and fluidity of speech #honestly the Myths really jump around from “Odin is a mystical all knowing otherworldly wise being to be respected” #to “heehoo big smart eye patch man” #which is what happens when you choose to study a religion long since mixed up by cultural changes and views #aka ppl making shit up for personal biases or compromises #the mechanisms #the bifrost incident #the mechanisms tbi

Those genius notes are crazy. Let’s see, poor taylor spent her youth hiding with him and she gave him her years and youth and Joe gave her nothing. How are you so sure? Were you there? Did she tell you the details of that personally?

Then, get over yourselves.

truly like... one good Western away from writing an anderperry cowboy au

#for full transparency i am actually planning one #it's basically. newspaper-man-who-really wants-to-be-a-novelist todd. #and actor-working-as-a-cowboy-because-rent-has-to-get-paid-somehow neil. #and neil ends up in some sketchy business + almost dies and comes out of this experience saying #fuck it. gonna travel back across the us and propose to my lover #unfortunately through a contrived series of events he's reported as dead and a grieving todd goes to find and bury his corpse #hence they keep missing each other for a while + get involved in more sketchy shit #tbh this is very fun to think about. writing a believable relationship when the guys in question don't actually interact until the end #will be tricky but very fun #anyway. this is all wishful thinking because i've got to finish the fair folk au first. and i WILL (desperate) #dead poets society #anderperry #tristan writes
