Tâmara - Brasil - 21 years old - I freaking love Taylor Swift

here’s luke serving cunt

this is the worst quality, but whatever🤷‍♀️

“With all due respect, which is none,”

- Percy Jackson, probably

[mo-mode]

Percy’s New Yorker genes unlocking the moment someone cuts him off and sending him into a fit of 12yo road rage

“why don’t they ever suspect Luke why don’t they realize it’s Luke why are they so quick to suspect Clarisse and not a Hermes kid”

guys, Luke is the perfect child. Thats the whole point! He gave his offerings he said his prayers he went on his quest he proved his loyalty to Chiron, to the gods, to his dad. And he did it all with a smile. They have no reason to suspect luke! Luke is the best of them!

Ares could’ve come to that meeting waving a big sign that said “LUKES THE LIGHTNING THIEF” and they still wouldn’t have believed him.

Because they also don’t want it to be Luke.

They love Luke. Luke takes care of them Luke protects them Luke is everything they want in an older brother. It doesn’t matter how blaringly obvious the writers get about who the real thief is. They will ignore every sign, every red flag, every warning, until Percy is dying of poison deep in the forest and Luke is gone.

[chaoticly-shy-dragon]

THIS.

He was the best of them until he wasn't but the thing is his bitterness wasn't without a reason. In the books, Luke is the only one who stood up with Percy when the camp turned their back on him. He was there and he cared and you didn't even think it was him until the Iris Message and even then you as a reader didn't even consider it and thought it was paranoia. Hindsight is 20/20 but you never have hindsight until the problem is a full-blown war.

What I mean to say is - the quiet ones are the ones with the secrets. And Luke is the son of a liar and a thief. Luke's betrayal wouldn't have been a betrayal if he hadn't been a friend first.

“taylor swift writes generic pop songs” isn’t a take i thought i’d be seeing in 2023 bc in recent years she’s putting out songs like “oh, woe and suffering! i have married a man i do not love and am now engaging in a torrid affair with the only person who truly understands me…i know not what my foul husband would do if we were discovered! i must run away with my beloved, before it is too late!”

[miamignonette]

before you say “but katie! ivy isn’t a pop song!” i need you to know and her pop songs are like “here’s all the reasons i’m hard to love, sorry! i ended a comfortable relationship to follow my high ambitious and i am happy and successful and i don’t particularly miss that person but sometimes i wonder what life would have been like if i had chosen safety. my loneliness in my childhood has lead to me crafting intricate plans to make someone love me. here’s the whole story of my career thus far, including my struggles with depression and an eating disorder. wait, you want to be with me?…are you SURE??”

take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.

character playlists always should have the following:

song that is pretty accurate to the character’s story

song that doesn’t fit the character at all but i was thinking about them while listening to it on loop

song that has one or two lines accurate to the character’s story

song that just kind of is the character’s vibe

song that i desperately wish they would listen to because i personally like it

song that fits the character so well that it’s scary

unsure why this song is in the playlist but it’s so ingrained in my mind as 'part of the playlist' that it would feel weird to remove it

[divorcedzukka]

characters whose philosophy is “if i cannot be wanted, i will be needed and if i cannot be needed, let me be used until there’s nothing left of me.” thank you for everyone’s attention. falls off stage and dies

They needed gay ass science to find out what my boy Socrates found out around 450 B.C.

[gobletblind-shibboleth]

and yet here you are discussing socrates. curious!

[zorasalazars-remade]

Hey just asking, I know youre genderfluid but are you also trans since you use the he pronoun? I'm transphobic and just wanted to get clarification if I should follow you?

this is THE funniest fucking ask ive ever gotten. oh my god

[cages-boxes-hunters-foxes]

what does “im a soldier returning half my weight” mean

so obviously it’s a metaphor for like shedding part of yourself to a relationship and the pain sense of loss that comes with that but i also loved the way laura snapes described it in her review and connected it to the earlier verse about shame

[folklres]

i’ve seen a few people make fun of the “and you were tossing me the car keys, ‘fuck the patriarchy’ keychain on the ground” lyric, but i actually think its a really interesting and deep lyric, and it comments a lot on the persona of taylor’s partner in this song. he puts up this pretence as the feminist guy who respects women, but we learn from the rest of all too well, and other songs on the album, that he has manipulative and disrespectful tendencies towards women: he dehumanises taylor into some trophy to reflect better onto him (all too well, ten minute version), ignores her needs and emotions and makes her feel ‘needy’ (all too well, ten minute version), the likelihood is that he also cheated on her (babe), and he lied to her as well (the moment i knew, all too well, ten minute version), not to mention the whole thing with younger women (“i’ll get older but your lovers stay my age”, all too well, ten minute version). the keychain being on the ground is pretty significant too — he dropped his façade and revealed who he truly was to taylor, and it led to the destruction of their relationship. idk i think its a pretty loaded lyric, actually.

Taylor Swift on Late Night With Seth Meyers, November 12

Taylor Swift’s 10-Minute Version of All Too Well Almost Wasn’t Recorded

Taylor Swift talking about Dylan O’Brien and Sadie Sink on “Late Night with Seth Meyers”. (September 11th, 2021) [x]

❝….Dylan was like, “Yep”. And I watch everything he’s in. I’m a huge fan of his […].❞ - Taylor Swift

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

[mackasaurussex]

Okay but…if someone wants to take me on a date to a Barnes and noble and get me dinner and a drink and then let me peruse the stacks like I’m not saying no. A sandwich, a beer, and 2-5 books on various topics I hope I’ll someday read about? Good night.

[silvysartfulness]

The Swedish equivalent of Blockbuster is now best known for its candy, snacks and sodas.

This is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an old theatre turned bookstore in Buenos Aires:

The stage itself was turned into a cafe:

You can’t even begin to comprehend the massive amounts of money this place makes, despite the fact that they turned the theatre boxes into reading nooks like this:

I’ve literally spent days holed up in there reading books for free while also consuming massive amounts of coffee and pastries.

Adapt or die, people.

[emospritelet]

OMG that’s AMAZING!
