I wish I could be a cool Tumblr person and make fun gifs and stuff, but I’m going to ride on everyone else’s coattails, and kind of absent minded-ly write my thoughts.
The grip that toxic ass monogamy and the relationship escalator have on the heteronormative society is actually soul crushing. Every relationship, in society’s eyes HAS to end with marriage and kids, and it has to “ride an escalator” to the end point. You know, meet each other, date, get seen in public, social media bullshit and shit posting, ohhhs and ahhhs from friends, move in together, get engaged, get married, have kids, and Tada! Life is grand.
There is so much wrong with that line of thinking.
I admire Taylor Swift. She is an entertainer, a wonderful businesswoman, and an amazing lyricist. The same woman who wrote “Lavender Haze”, I can infer, is not going to publicly ride the relationship escalator. I had to leave social media for a bit today because of the sheer amount of talk about “an endgame”. Ew. Let the woman live.
As a non-monogamous Queer she/they human, I see Taylor’s lyrics with a Queer lens. I guess that makes me a Gaylor? I dont know? A Queerlor? All the terms are new to me. Im not a straight, white, ultra conservative Swiftie who things her and her latest boytoy (that she bought with a price) are the endgame, and Id rather focus on her art and messages that she is telling us.
All of the hiding, the foxes and the hunters, the “I loved you in secret”, the “Hiding in plain sight”. What straight relationship ever has to hide this much? Why is Taylor literally dragging around a male counterpart with flashbulbs popping in her face? I don’t understand? Why can’t fans appreciate her 6 Grammy nominations and not her latest installment of the xy chromosome.
Im not exonerating Gaylors. They are too into the ships as well! She played that for Karlie! Kaylor endgame! BYE! Thats about Diana, Swiftgron forever! Like, damn yall.
Im sorry, Taylor, that people cannot listen to a song like “Labyrinth”, and listen to the chord progressions and your literal insane vocal range. Nobody picked up that you wore the NYU sweatshirt where you referenced the song in your speech. People magazine boasted that was about Taylor was falling In love with Travis, and Kaylor /Gaylor twitter were screaming how she and Karlie were endgame. As a member of this fandom, its so embarrassing.
Anyways , on the off chance that you see this, Taylor. Congratulations on your Grammy nominations. This random fan on the internet is proud of your accomplishments, and I promise to never distill your music or art to your plausible or probable partners 😭😭😭.
Late night musing for the win
