rewatched Spirit with a dear friend so of course i drew tayace watching it too
ik taylor has so many candid photos of ace doing the most mundane shit. he simply cannot get enough of his rival
Looking up acelor to find art of Taylor Riley and Ace Markey and finding a community of people who think that Taylor Swift is aroace. There are whole other worlds out there
I JUST HAD AN EPIPHANY THAT I HAVE TO SHARE !!!
I'm starting to think that Taylor did in fact win that race, but passed away not too long afterward. Which is when Ms. Naegi awarded Ace with the Ultimate Jockey title now that the late one is.. dead? if that's what's happening here that makes the circumstances of Ace getting his title so much more sad 🥹
Taylor Swift is aromantic, asexual, omni, oriented aroace, bellusaroace, and aplatonic
she does not owe you an explanation so she will not be addressing it any further
(images by me)
so Ace Markey/Taylor Riley umamusume au when
(it's a horsegirl jockey game about racing and they specifically remind me of Vodka and like, the ginger haired girl who are super into being each others rivals)
Fifteen is one of the most aro-ace songs in the canon, to me at least. I've been sleeping on it.
There's just a distance between herself and Abigail's experience or being in love. She feels like an onlooker who relates to some things, but also is an alien to the life the others are leaving.
The idea "when someone tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them" is so relatable as an aromantic. Love, at 15, is assumed to be real but this indicates that the person believes but doesn't feel (but perhaps wants to because they're "supposed to".) There's just a distance between the narrator and the experience of romance that I can't quite express.
"in your life, you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team" is to me one of her most poignant lines, and it spoke volumes to me when I was a 15 year-old listening to this track in the back of my mom's van and crying. It's applicable to anyone, but when viewed through an aroace lens, it takes on new meaning: you don't have to be trapped in high school romantic politics forever and finding romantic love is not the foremost thing in life.
Unfortunately, sometimes we can't escape it however. And no matter what we accomplish in, say, the year 2023, the world still makes dating the manchild on the football team the greatest thing a woman can do with her life.
Overall, this feels like I am watching other people experience love and sex but not able to feel it myself.
Maybe she knew it all at 15.
Gaylors and acelors-- I recognize that it is tempting to try and tell people your beliefs right now, I really do. but think about it... A major reason Taylor was set up with Joe was to quell gay rumors.
If you continue to shout from the rooftops that she is gay, she will probably end up in another PR relationship to try to combat that. Taylor looks so happy and free right now. Please please please don't ruin that for her.
Not saying you can't talk among yourselves, but don't try to convert people. Please. I want Taylor to be free to date or not date who and when she wants. I don't want her to be set up with an asshole. I imagine you feel the same.
