Hey I did sit down and listen to the Speak Now record. And it was a huge banger. Just thought you’d like an update
omg yay!!!! i was wondering what you thought of it actually!!! its definitely one of her best albums and its just so good!!! she does a lot of stuff on it so theirs a lot to like! the new vault tracks also just add another layer to it. but i’m so glad you like it!!! if you want more recs you might like some of RED. it’s not as rock vibe but it does experiment a lot with sounds and has some really cool sounds on it. there are some pop influences on it like we are never ever getting back together and 22. but songs like RED and holy ground have a similar heavy instrumental vibe (if that makes sense lol). but im so glad you liked speak now!!! it’s such a good album and i forget it sometimes until i relisten and get amazed by it!!!!
also, obligatory swiftie fact: taylor wrote the album completely solo at 19 since critics said she probably didn’t right a lot of stuff on fearless cause she was so young. so it’s why the songs are a bit longer.
also, if you like country music or some country songs you have to listen to fearless. there’s a reason it was won album of the year because it’s so good!
also, i know you mentioned black veiled brides as a band you’d like to recommend so can you tell me what you’d think i like??? im into more of pop sounds but i do like paramore, FOB, and ive been getting into the warning recently as well. do you have any songs or albums you’d recommend??
but no matter what i’m so so happy you liked speak now!!!!! just such a good album!!!!
Yeah, I prefer savin' the silver bullets; they slay my debts just as good as they do monsters.
I know it puts me at risk come time for the dark, but if I get to live comfortably after the fact, riskin' my life don't seem too big a price, certainly just as expensive as a couple of ol' silver bullets.
This is a long one, but my mind can only contain so much madness.
So yours truly decided to start an online presence.
I want to write and be a creative as a vocation, and it was time for me to build the bridges that would connect me to an audience.
My first bridge was built Wordpress, where I'm uploading a web serial currently. It's not terrible, check it out.
Degenerate self-promotion aside, I was quite excited to see who my first subscribers were, people who got to me through the Wordpress Reader, the feed of all the posts made in the platform.
A couple of human-seeming accounts, they had that soulful controlled randomness to them, along with the kindness to give my stuff a chance. I checked their blogs back, until I stumbled on a particularly canine one.
A pomeranian blog.
Nothing but.
I have considered against outright saying the name of the blog or the name that the creator goes by because 1, saying their names might bring more power unto them and 2, I don't want to be cruel.
It's carnage trying to get the blind behemoth of the internet to set its eyes on your content. As long as their methods are not malicious, I am hard pressed to judge someone for how they do the grind. That's why I'm also pasting screenshots that are not too revealing.
It's all gray.
(This is all true for how creepypasta it sounds. I swear to god.)
But yeah, pomeranians.
Pom-poms galore.
The blog howled till its chords were raw about the beauty and caretaking needs of the dog breed, to a point of an almost hypnotic suggestion of it's necessity.
Odd, but garden-variety odd. The internet has seen wilder bursts. I thought that until I took a closer look at the furballs.
Like stuck between mediums, not quite a photograph and not quite a digital painting. Both too blurry and too sharp.
Artificially generated images.
A fraction more odd to my expectation, but still adhering to logic in function.
I can perfectly picture a Pomeranian enthusiast, with unbridled energy and capacity for writing of the children of the German Spitz, but incapable of illustrating their texts on their own. Perhaps wanting to avoid the legal headache of copyright with their incomplete understanding of it, they turn to AI (which is a copyright nightmare of its own, but I digress) in order to get their images.
Cut and dry.
But I wanted the character I had conjured to be real, their love for Pomeranians real, so I checked the posts' content.
I'm not an expert, but the text does have a mechanistic aftertaste to it. Huge amounts of fluff (heh) with aimlessly vague topics. No citations of experts of any kind. No personal experiences with their own pom puppies. No typos.
You've got around 3500 words a post, putting them in a word counter. So, how many posts?
20 PAGES OF 10 POSTS EACH?!
(What are they looking at?)
(There's nothing particular about their eyes.)
This is the first post. No "Welcome to my blog!" post or "This is why I love poms so much" post or "You're pet too, aren't you?" post, but an article about poms alerting impending seizures.
I'm writing this on the 13th of August (Why does that sound like a last captain's log?). 52 days since their last post.
200 posts in 52 days. Approximately seventy thousand words in honor of the breed, like warm drops spilled at a stone altar. This is definitely automated to crap.
There's no heart pumping blood that is creating this.
It's necessarily something else.
(What can you be other ecstatic? Ungrateful?, you little shit.)
The best part (if you're inclined for human definitions of "good" and "bad") is this:
THEY HAVE ANOTHER FULL BLOG FOR JACK RUSSELL FUCKING TERRIERS!!!
