every day we inch closer to the inevitable release of taylor's "all the haters are throwing shade at my relationship but I don't care" music about matty and for that reason I live in fear

#i think she has a pretty warped sense of what is valid criticism and what is just senseless haters #after half a lifetime of criticism for ridiculous things #and i really think that's exactly what she's viewing all this as #like they all want to intrude with their opinions!! but it's just me and you baby!!! our love is stronger than the hate!!!!!! #and the fuck of it all is that because she is my favourite artist i will no doubt love the song on a surface level #whilst also feeling sick to my stomach on a genuine level #talking #taylor swift #ts discourse

Clone^2 Damian

If you really think about, Damian's situation in the clone^2 au is... kinda tragic? Especially in the early months of his arrival. Like,,, think about it. Damian has always known he was a clone of Damian Wayne, that he was a copy of the blood son. There was nothing 'original' about him, not even his name (of which at least Danny has that). He was just... a replacement. A disposable one, to boot.

And he knew that, to an extent, by the time he was six years old. he might not have been actively acknowledging it -- he's six years old -- but deep down he knew. And like, he's six years old. Every small child craves the love and affection of an adult, especially their parents, and even though he knew he was clone, I imagine he still considered - and still does consider, somewhat - Talia and Bruce as his mother and father. And I really doubt he was... getting it?

Now, I know Talia loves Damian, her son. At least in some interpretations she does, and in this au she does. But... a clone of her son? I'm not so certain if she would have the same affection for baby Dames as she would for Damian. I don't think she would treat him badly, but I don't think Talia would treat him warmly either. Kinda just, distant. Colder than she would have been with OG Damian.

And, I know I've mentioned Damian's arrival from Danny's point of view, and its kind of comical kind of insane from his perspective -- a little boy clone of Damian Wayne falls through a portal and immediately attacks him. That sounds like a bad joke.

But, if you think of this from Damian's point of view? It's like he just got dropped into a scary movie. Like, think about it. You're six years old, and suddenly a portal, as green and as swirling as your grandfather's pools, opens up beneath your feet and sucks you through.

After an intense bout of vertigo, you end up in a massive, urban city -- completely different from the rural mountain palace that you lived in for the last six years of your life, and in this city, you don't know any of the language. You don't know what anyone is saying, you can't read any of the signs - you are completely stranded, away from home.

And then, to make things worse, you're facing a figure with a terrifying mask and eyes as burning green as the portal you fell through. Of course Damian's first instinct, six years old, is to attack. He's terrified.

And this figure, he's not a good fighter, but he's fast, and he dodges you quickly. He grabs your sword with his hands, and tries to restrain you, saying something in a language you don't know. Naturally, Damian is just scared. He's six! He'd just be learning how to read if he was normal child going to school.

This figure halfway through the fight yanks off his mask -- he realizes you're scared -- and looking at you now, is a youthful version of your father. This is a clone of your dad, someone you have never met but, six years old, still wants to. Damian gets defensive. This is an imposter.

But this imposter eventually gets you home with him - and he's using his little box, his phone, to communicate with you through a mechanical voice speaking in arabic. and it's frustrating. The boy, the imposter, can say whatever to you just fine, but trying to talk back is a hassle and a half. He's six, he doesn't have that much patience.

He wants to go home.

And so he keeps trying to run away. He keeps trying to find out of this hellish concrete jungle, and he keeps getting lost. It's loud, and busy, and there are people talking to you and you don't understand them, and there are rules and signs you don't understand - Damian tries to cross the street and nearly gets hit by a car. He doesn't know how the road signs work, he was never taught. They didn't get to that.

And he gets lost. And it gets dark, and Damian is brave, but he is six, and this is the worst stress he's been under in all his six years of life. He wants, desperately more than anything, to go home. Why wouldn't he? The only stable... semi-stable environment he was in just got ripped out from under his feet, literally! He wants his mother.

And it's not happening.

But there's something good to be said, at least. The imposter that looks like his father always comes and finds him, no matter what. He could have left that morning, and he will find Damian at midnight, frazzled and worried, and carrying an extra jacket with him because it is cold in Amity Park and Damian is six years old.

And sometimes Damian attacks him - he's scared and stressed and he doesn't want to be here. And every time he catches the sword. Even though Damian can see it cut into his hand and pearls of blood well up and stains his fingers. Even though Damian can see him wince in pain and bite his lip, he still catches it.

But with that little box, he coaxes Damian to come back with him. It's cold, it's dark, Amity Park is unsafe at night. They can figure something out tomorrow, please. And every time, he agrees, reluctantly. And the imposter takes the extra jacket he brought with -- a flannel, a hoodie, a jacket -- and he wraps it around him. It's warm, Damian's clothes are not that thick, and even though he thinks he might hate this imposter, he still sticks close to his legs as he leads him down the street.

And sometimes the imposter carries him, because Damian's shoes are not that thick, and he cuts his foot on broken glass while they're walking home. The imposter sits in the bathroom with him and carefully cleans the cut out, and makes sure it doesn't get infected.

There's hope you know, he still has it. His mother will be looking for him. She'll be worried. He's important to them. Damian may not be the original, but he is still a blood son. He is still her son. She will come find him. This nightmare will end soon. He can go home.

And then weeks pass, and nothing. Then months, and nothing. His family is not coming for him, and it hurts. Hurts more than anything. And yet while that happens, the boy he's attacked, and hurt, teaches himself arabic in order to speak to him. He takes Damian out of the house one afternoon and buys him new clothes, or tries to. And then he keeps buying him new clothes. He gives him blankets and gives up his bed to him until they can get him one himself, and steadily he teaches Damian english.

This boy is kind. Kinder than Damian's ever experienced, and he doesn't know what to do with it. He's devastated by the fact that he is not as important to his family as his family is to him. What do you do when you're six years old and you learn something like that? When a random stranger who looks like your father is kinder to you, and cares more about you than your family did?

And then Damian tells him he's a clone. He's Damian Wayne's clone, and he tells him his purpose - that their grandfather made him to kill him. And the boy, the imposter, Damian thinks he probably already knows that he's a clone. But he doesn't say that. He just nods, and asks him if he wants to tell his original about him.

Damian says no. He doesn't want to. He's tired of living in the shadow of his original. He wants to keep this to himself. This is his. For once, all of this is his.

And to his surprise, the imposter doesn't try and convince him otherwise. He just nods, and says okay. And when Damian asks why, the imposter - his brother - looks at him and says.

"I don't care about Damian Wayne. I care about you." And in Damian's gobsmacked silence, his brother continues. He tells him that if Damian doesn't want to tell his original that he exists, then they don't need to. They don't need to worry about the LoA going after him, because clearly if his 'grandfather' needs to make a clone of Damian in order to take him out, then whatever it was that Damian Wayne was doing to keep himself safe, was working.

"Wayne already has people in his corner, he's got Gotham's army of vigilantes to keep himself safe." his brother says with his eyes as blue as moonlight. "You, however. Do not." And he continues, and says that if Damian Wayne has the same training as Damian does, then he will be fine. He doesn't need to be aware of his clone. Because if DW doesn't know about Damian, then the LoA doesn't either.

And here's the thing. Damian would not have survived in the LoA for long. Not as a clone. No matter what, he was going to die no matter what he did, and sooner rather than later. The sword of Damocles was always hanging above his head in the League of Assassins.

That portal, and meeting Danny, saved his life. There's no way around it. And to an extent Damian knows this even at six years old. He may not be aware that he would've died, but he knows that meeting Danny was the best thing to happen to him.

It's no wonder after that, that Damian is as clingy to Danny as he is. Danny is the first person he's met to offer him unconditional love, with no strings attached, only pure affection.

Every breakup song is about a trans person's relationship with their pre-transition self, btw. I don't make the rules.

#there's amicable breakup songs #like I hope you're happy out there #there's angry breakup songs #like I should've left you sooner #and everything in between #and they're all valid #trans

My long overdue tribute to Nex Benedict.

I'm no poet, nor am I a composer, rewriting this song I love was the least I could do for a teen who was brutally robbed of their life.

Pour the wine and raise a cup

Drink up, siblings, you know why

And for dear Nex, please spill a drop

A new angel soars in the sky 

Some birds sing when the sun shines bright

My praise is not for them

But the one who sang in the dead of night

I raise my cup to him

My sorrow is immeasurable 

It stretches far and wide

Perhaps I will forever mourn

This child who shouldn't have died

Some flowers bloom

Where the green grass grows

My praise is not for them

But the one who bloomed in the bitter snow

I raise my cup to him

I raise my cup and drink it up

I raise it high and drink it dry

To darling Nex and all of us

Goodnight, siblings, goodnight.

Adapted from "We Raise Our Cups" and "I Raise My Cup to Him" from the musical Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell.

The thing is that Louis is ALWAYS going to choose from Midnight Memories forward for his 1D covers because that’s when he really took ownership of his songwriting and steering the band’s sound.

Give me a Louis and Steve Durham arranged version of something like Strong or Fireproof over something from the first two albums ANYDAY.

#Strong would murder us all #no shade to the first two albums! #but also the way Louis was treated for those #I get why he’s like nope #although it would be great #to take one of Savan’s songs #and completely redo it #as a fuck you #but also it’s totally valid for him to ignore them #also WMYB is exclusively Harry’s #that’s just a a fact

LET SUN BE SASSY

Let him be sassy to kids, let him be sassy to adults, let him be sassy to staff, let him be sassy to Moon, let him be sassy to inanimate objects, let him be sassy on good days, let him be sassy on bad days

Or just ignore the whole thing or blame it on the virus, it’s all good either way

#fnaf #sundrop #help wanted 2 #help wanted 2 spoilers #we don’t need a good reason to like something for a character #or not like it #it doesn’t matter #also #his song from Ruin is still valid #he still gets sad without his crafts ok

Love how “Luck Runs Out” is just.

just found out that my 14 y/o brother watches hazbin hotel because i was singing “you didn’t know” and he started weighing his opinion on the hazbin songs. not upset that he watches the show at all (but it did take me a little by surprise) because i definitely started watching hazbin and helluva boss when i was 13 but i AM upset that he thinks “stayed gone” is better than “loser, baby” which is a hot take ig

#hazbin hotel #helluva boss #hazbin hotel songs #we did agree that respectless is a little overrated #but i don’t know if he sees the dynamic between angel dust and husk #he just really likes alastor’s singing voice which is so valid #vivziepop #hazbin hotel alastor #radio demon #angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #huskerdust #our sibling dynamic is unmatched #we’ll argue about how loud each of us are being on our respective instruments then bond over fandom shit #anyway #tags #tumblr tags

I love bitching and moaning, I really do, but if the first scene where major characters interact with each other, having a conversation, introducing us to the world through their eyes was Rhaenyra and Alicent talking about a dragon and flying together, I don't understand how two years later you're still complaining that they are how we see the world. And that their kids are being treated as each other's equals. From the start, they are the emotional stake. A picture Alicent sent brought Rhaenyra to tears, and Alicent still holds love for her. They're both reluctant to plunge into war. Like it's their story, and how they drift, pull, tug and claw into eachother through various different narratives and influences. Give it a rest.

#hotd #house of the dragon #rhaenyra targaryen #alicent hightower #yall are making it really hard to hate #stop being stupid #team black #team green #factions named after their DRESSES #a song of ice and fire #the princess and the queen #like whats going on? #this isnt about valid criticisms #this is about people being upset that alicent is on the poster

[mournmourn]

Lots of people have already pointed this out, but Ruoska seems to be a play on their careers and their public image. The song disguises itself as an expression of kinkier desires with the chorus and snippets of the verses' lyrics. And them, since they both express themselves within these themes in the media from time to time. The music video balances this by not being explicit at all, instead it's all about the scrutiny of being a public figure.

Listening to the lyrics and seeing the mv, my impression of the song is that its message isn't actually about expression of sxual freedom, but taking twisted pleasure from being torn to shreds by the media. Because if your image has unconventional aspects, that's sharkbait to peoples opinions, especially when you've gained fame.

With that, I cant' help but wonder, if it was intentional to promo the song first and foremost as sxual? Because that's the shallow top-layer people love to stay on, and if there's no deeper dive into the message, that's what people will criticize and comment on?

Which would make it fucking hilarious that they went on with the photoshoots and iltalehti interview about "being explicit" since that's exactly what that trash magazine will focus on solely.

#käärijä #now ofc two things can co-exist and a part of the message is about s*xual self-expression and it shouldnt be criticized in the first place. #it would be very valid for them. they both have clearly a desire to express themselves like that #im not putting down that aspect its a clear and good message too #but the lyrics have very layered references and themes of being bombarded by hateful messages and criticism. the mv straight up shows this #and the song seems like a powerful take towards the mentality of withstanding the criticism because you refuse to back down #suru.kirjoitus
