I fully see the “romanticizing unwellness” aspect of ttpd. Whenever I’m experiencing a huge heartbreak, it’s awful and all-consuming and I hate it and I’m miserable. But coming out of it? I poke the bruise. I listen to the sad songs that lyricize everything I thought. I intentionally rip open old wounds. And I think back on how awful I felt at the time, but it’s like “oh, wasn’t I just tragic? but wasn’t it the most poetic thing?” obviously idk about everyone else, but that’s how I interpret your interpretation lol

"wasn't I just tragic? wasn't it the most poetic thing?" is EXACTLY IT oh my GOD!!! There's a real addiction that we can develop to looking for the 'deeper truth' and meaning in our wounds, and just digging into that. And especially an addiction to the sheer depth of feeling it involves. It's a form of self harm that we can sometimes rationalize as self-acceptance or processing even when it goes too far.

There's also, I think, something about leaning into that stuff that makes us feel more alive as people, but also makes us feel uniquely harmed and cursed in a way that nobody else could POSSIBLY relate to (even if that isn't true), and makes us create this caricature of ourselves that is way more of a concept than a human person. And TTPD is SO heavy on that.

I think stabbing into yourself for the tragedy of it all isn't something that EVERYONE does or relates to, at least based on how people respond when I talk about it. Which kinda furthers the alienation. But that's why TTPD the song exists and is the title source of the album! Sometimes the only way out is to realize you really ARE just some guy and not Dylan Thomas or Patti Smith having your quintessential narrative breakdown lmao

so I’m procrastinating rn

i was scrolling through my camera roll and here’s a taylor and mgg photo dump (there’s are my faves)

knowing she possibly wrote Wildest Dreams about her romantic 4th of July date with him makes me want to scream like imagine being the two most beautiful people in the world agreeing that you had a magical time, but it's not working out so you'll remember them as a wildest dream????

I'd pass away if matthew gray gubler fuckin said "let's get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the clouds...." AND THEY WENT TO RHODE ISLAND? IM LOSING MY MIND

NO ONE HAS TO KNOW WHAT WE DO HIS HANDS ARE IN MY HAIR HIS CLOTHES ARE IN MY ROOM... HIS VOICE IS A FAMILIAR SOUND? NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER!!

The people Taylor surrounds herself with is further evidence of her character. Welcome to my TAYLORtalk.

Taylor’s friendship with Abigail has lasted since they were fifteen and they still make time for each other. And with a life like Taylor’s, both parties have to be incredibly intentional to make those visits happen.

Imagine her schedule. Not just the official one, but also the schedule she sets for herself - writing, recording, designing, planning, easter egg-hiding, lurking, interacting with us, and trying to see her lover every now and then. That in itself is a feat to balance.

Knowing how hard she works, I wonder if she gets time to herself. Just to do some self care. Now if she were reading this, she’d probably say “my me-time is hanging out with you guys on here” just because she’s that kind and selfless and it’s probably true in her mind. But let’s be real, some of the stuff we post for her to see is not always conducive to a good time.

She keeps people around whether that be band members, vocalists, dancers, directors, etc. (heLLO PAUL SIDOTI AND JACK ANTONOFF) It’s important to her to grow with good people and use her popularity to advance their careers too. She doesn’t see herself as better than anyone else (I think she of all people is well aware of the fact that fame is completely at the mercy of the audience). And it’s a two way street because Taylor is so genuine that her entire existence welcomes people and invites them to stay.

This the kind of thing that comes to mind when people ask why I love Taylor Swift so much. Actions speak louder than words.

I complained to my fiance that I liked the intro song/animation from the first half of Dororo better, even though the second one is technically more in line with the actual anime thematically and lyrically, and he just looked at me real slow and said “Congratulations, you’re an anime fan now.”

“I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings.”

How freaking beautiful is that?!? Really appreciating paper rings today!
