Everything will be ok once I get a cokey cola or maybe a peach tea

#NUMBER ONE YEAR-ROUND ICE COLD DRINK LOVER #ive got a bottle of eater but its just from out of a cupboard i didn't even get time to let it cool in the fridge and get some condensation #it doesnt compare #*water

Dude at this point I don't even think it's a praise thing anymore... someone tells me good job and I'm like 'oh thank god I'm not wasting oxygen'

#genuinely it's like I'm hovering underneath good enough the entire time #until someone says 'good job' and I get two seconds of head above wayer time #*water

I’ve personally always taken the fire vs water imagery from Eras tour as sort of Taylor being like ‘everything burned down around me, I burned some of it down myself, the waters of grief nearly drowned me, the waters of that grief cleansed me as well, and in the chaos of it all, here I am, celebrating everything I lost and everything I gained, etc’ The eras tour is very obviously a celebration of creation (Taylor’s vast catalogue, her relationship with her audience, etc) but it’s also an acknowledgment of the destruction that has gone hand in hand with the creation for pretty much her entire career.

Also, i know that we all complain about swifties lacking nuance on the internet, but it truly does do such a disservice to the artistry of the live performances to try to narrow everything down to one meaning (I mean this generally, I do not think you are guilty of this fyi!!). Like the fire burning behind her, the water raging around her, it’s both something she caused and something that was done to her by others. It’s simultaneously about destroying and grieving and suffering and also about celebrating and rebuilding and succeeding, etc. She primarily choose Fire and Water for the tour visuals at emotional heights of the concert. Fire destroys but it also creates room for new, stronger growth. Water cleanses/nourishes/gives life but it also destroys.

I haven’t fully articulated my thoughts on all of the tour imagery (particularly the visuals based around natural extremes) so this is the most I can spit out right now, but I do think the natural extremes (fire and water) shes chooses are very intentional and that they really lean into feelings associated with the high and lows of her music and career overall.

no you're so right and she's used fire and water to indicate both of those things - rage, death, rebirth - throughout her career! (it's also an extremely common metaphor in general.)

when i was drowning that's when i could finally breathe ... i am finally clean -> drowning but finding herself by the ocean in the ootw mv.

cardigan's mv, where she uses music to literally stay afloat in her despair, and she's a different person when she returns to her cabin.

i'm a fire and i'll keep your brittle heart warm, i am ash from your fire, i'm getting tired even for a phoenix, etc.

also, fire and water are unstoppable forces, stronger than her. she's carried away by water, unable to stop it - fire consumes and takes over things quickly.

she's been burned but she's also a protective fire. she's drowned and been unmoored, but she can also take down ships and find herself below the current.

and these symbols in particular - fire and water - are so common and pervasive in myths, stories, the shared human consciousness, that they always have various meanings. so to your point: yes, they have multiple meanings!

Hestia: Dem, are you drinking enough water?

Demeter:Sometimes my tears get in my mouth.

Man okay, if I had a quarter for every time I've fallen deeply into a ship dynamic of "guy who is literally always aware of how he appears to others & constantly calculating and controlling what of himself he wants to show" / "a sopping wet mess of a man who is constantly and actively falling apart in public but (critically) also perceptive enough to see through the facade" I would have two quarters

Which isn't that many but still weird that it's happened twice

Steve’s dive and how sensory deprivation tanks were initially used to access the Upside Down. The UD won’t crossover water but what if it doesn’t need to because it functions as a conductor. It’s also curious that the Nina Project, which I’m thinking it’s an expirement involving exploration of the subjects subconscious, is the episode right before the Dive if it means much. The void is represented as water as well, whether it’s a shallow pool or drowning in it’s vast span of ineffable nothingness. Hmmm ‘The Dive’, sensory deprivation tanks, plunging into and completely immersing one’s self into a deeper realm.

#At first I thought maybe something was hidden in the lake that someone or something didn’t want it to be found by UD entities #because of how the UD avoids water but the realm in and of itself is like a sea #plus it’s weakness is fire so I would think water would be a friend #Okay but what if Steve sees El under what while she’s in a sensory deprivation tank #*water #But seriously what is up with Upside Down and water #Stranger Things 4 #St4 #Stranger Things theory

Time to go swimming in this reely pretty clear river by the House! 38D
