That Lone Axolot

Born to be lowkey, forced to hyperfixate

Hello, starlings!

Axel. He/him.

This blog just serves as my main place for fandom nonsense on tumblr, so it's gonna be very unorganised. You'll see art on here from time to time and the occasional think piece.

Current Obsessions:

Heated Rivalry

Taylor Swift

I have a Twitter, but I kinda want to avoid it right now

So apparently tumblr has been banned in the Philippines cause the government labelled it as a "gambling site"

Currently using my mobile data from a different service provider to access my tumblr lmao

This is so stupid

[starlitaxolotl]

Kinda want to watch heated rivalry tbh

[starlitaxolotl]

I was never the same after this post

I'm don't know if wanna make my own Ottawa Centaurs logo for this HR piece I'm making or just go the book cover route and not add one. I do NOT want to draw a botched horse but at the same time the jersey feels so bare 🫠

They are just sleepin and snoozin

The difference is that jealous Ilya looks homicidal while jealous Shane looks suicidal

I’m lowkey kind of worried of how the pacing of the last 2 episodes are gonna go since there’s still a good chunk of important plot points in the book they haven’t adapted yet…

Rose reading Shane like a book (“I prefer being the hole” line)

Shane’s “I think I’m gay” talk with Ilya

Their Skype call

Shane’s accident and hospitalization

Ilya’s father’s death

Ilya leaving for Russia for the burial

The phone call with Ilya’s admission in Russian

Shane suggesting the cottage and Ilya going back and forth about it

Scott and Kip’s kiss serving as the catalyst for their commitment to the relationship

Their time at the cottage

Shane’s dad catching them red-handed

Shane and Ilya talking to Shane’s parents

…and those are just the ones I can immediately think from the top of my head. They also still have to resolve the entire conflict and drama with Scott and Kip so I have NO idea how they’re gonna juggle that without it feeling rushed. I’ve heard that they changed an ending of some sort so we’ll see how that goes but I still can’t help but worry a bit. The pacing so far has been good for the most part so we’ll see eventually.

Started reading the Heated Rivalry book two days ago just to have some background before trying to watch the show.

Just finished it. I was deeply entertained. Bravo.

Look, you guys can say anything about Taylor's lyrics in recent years (cause I do agree that she's gotten shakey)

But saying she had ghost writers with her on her previous albums is such a dumb assumption.

There's clips of her making lyrics on the fly, sharing her diary entries and scrap paper with her drafts, making stuff up on the Piano during the reputation era, clips of her sending voice mails to Jack and Aaron at the unholy hour of 2am, and she wrote the entirety of Speak Now on her own just to prove a point to the public 😭

Like, let's not be daft.
