folklorevermore characters - augustine "august" - betty
And I've kinda in my head, like, calling the girl from "august" either Augusta or Augustine, I've naming her that in my head [...] What happen in my head was, okay, so "cardigan" is Betty's perspective from, like, 20 or 30 years later, looking back on this love that was this tumultous thing. In my head, I think Betty and James ended up together. So, in my head, she ends up with him, but he really put her through it. But, like, "august" was obviously about the girl that James had in the summer wth, right? So she seems like she's a bad girl, but really, she's not a bad girl. She's, like, a really sensitive person who really fell for him. And she was trying to seem cool and seem like she didn't care because that's what girls have to do. And she was trying to let him think that she didn't care but she really did, and she thought they had something very real. And then he goes back to Betty. So the idea that there's some, like, some bad, villain girl in any type of situation who, like, takes your man is actually a total myth because that's not usually the case at all. Like everybody has feelings and wants to be seen and loved, and just, like, Augustine, that's all she wanted was love. — @taylorswift on folklore: the long pond studio sessions.
