gangsey christmas headcanons since my thanksgiving ones were so fun. for gifts, Gansey is the kind of person to get people what HE wants and not even realize. So he’ll be getting everyone fancy notebooks or weird calligraphy sets or extra fancy messenger bags and everyone kind of looks at each other when opening it in collective realization of the fact Gansey got them what he likes. They smile and nod anyway and agree to let it happen because of how happy Gansey looks while watching them open it.

Next up is Blue, who prepares at least a month in advance for all the crafty items she’s making. You can find Blue digging through thrift stores for clothes to embroider and tear up that she WILL make all of them wear at least once. She’ll also go though landfills and find weird trinkets to paint or glue together to make sculptures. (Adam took all the weird sculptures to Harvard with him and his roommates are terrified!)

Adam is the kind of person to get people essentials. He got Gansey some ink to refill his weird pens he uses for the academia aesthetic, and Blue some much needed thread and sewing needles or yarn or something like that. And for Ronan, he gets a pack of those generic black T-shirts or new shoe laces for his boots or something and Ronan will scoff and act all ungrateful but he’s just touched Adam KNOWS with certainty exactly which kinds he likes.

Ronan just dreams people stuff he thinks they would like. I think he would get Gansey a notebook that never runs out of pages or something like that. Adam would get one of those Mary Poppins bags to hold all of his school stuff without ever having to run back to his dorm. Adam loves it. Blue would get the weirdest item of clothing on earth that is more like a thneed than anything else. Ronan also dreamt a snow globe for Noah but he would never tell anyone. Also chainsaw gets gifts from Gansey and Ronan and Adam finds it hilarious but also so so annoying. Merry christmas if you celebrate! Happy holidays :)

Spring 2023 Couture Week

Yep, it’s that time of year when the first of two haute couture fashion weeks hits good ol’ Paris, and once again it’s started off on a very limp/weird note.

Dior has once again outdone themselves with yet another boring collection that isn’t even worth posting about, but if anyone wants to see their collection you can view it right here. As always though it’s just another collection of everyday wear with ‘haute couture’ slapped on it that I’m sure plenty of rich and famous people will be lapping up this year when it comes to red carpet events. Although I do keep asking myself what was Maria Grazia Chiuri thinking when she cooked up this latest snooze fest collection. Schiaparelli on the other hand has gone for a more interesting collection (to say the least). However they lost me at the fake animal heads placed oddly on the garments that I can’t help but find tasteless, weird and funny all at the same time. For anyone who wants to have a look at this utterly bizarre collection that I can’t make out what it’s actually meant to be about then feel free here.

Ellie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Tony Ward, Georges Hobeika and Ziad Nakad… it’s over to you guys once again to pull us all back from the brink of boredom and insanity when it comes to showcasing high end fashion in Paris. 

Anyway last I checked It’s fucking haute couture week, not everyday wear and art school project week! 🙄😭😩

true though

[do-notfolow]

they really are just trauma laid bare for 21 songs. //

Yep! Even the love songs work to show the contrast between her fears/past trauma and her current happiness.

yes!!!! like…..it’s dark. i think it’s probably her darkest body of work yet by a mile. and that doesn’t mean it’s bleak or that it isn’t fun - it’s actually very fun. but the fun is because of the darkness, not in spite of it. like the most tender song on the record (sweet nothing) is a direct foil to anti-hero.

i agree that the photoshoot gives me different vibes than the actual album does but i don’t think it’s a big deal. the red photoshoot/era was very 50s inspired, but that doesn’t mean the music was. there’s lots of pics from the 1989 polaroids where she looks upset, but 1989 doesn’t have a ton of overtly emotional songs. i think the whole midnights shoot probably fits the 3am version more, but the photo she chose for the actual cover fits the standard album perfectly i think

yeah, i think the presiding emotion of the shoot is “sad girl after the party” and also “woman contending with everything that’s ever happened to her in the wee hours of the morning” and both of those things are exactly what midnights is.

Do you remember that interview during 1989 when they’re talking about taylor bringing guests out on stage during tour and the interview mentions how great Sam smith looks now and Taylor says he’s always been a babe and she doesn’t care how much he’s working out because it’s all in his eyes 🥹I don’t rlly care for sam smith and I know they aren’t friends anymore but that’s just the sweetest thing to say! Saying that someone has always been beautiful before and after weight loss. Idk. I just remembered it.

yes i remember it well!!!! she has always been deeply sensitive to that stuff, which makes sense given her own history (though of course we didn’t quite know that at the time), but also is just…..not super common in her industry lmao
