The Story Of Us (Taylor's Version) is giving extreme "Crowley depressed after S2" vibes
this one's gonna be long, so brace yourselves, it's basically the whole text
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
And people would say, "They're the lucky ones"
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
like the literal sparks there?! i'm not crying, you are
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
@weirdly-specific-but-ok you should listen to this it'll break you❤
Got my Spotify Wrapped and thanks Good Omens fandom (hello, GOtok) for the fact that I ended up in the top 10% Taylor Swift fans. The queen of breakup songs clearly clicked while grieving the Ineffable Divorce 😆
they are in every. single. song. yes, you guessed it, i'm talking about ineffable husbands. but like. it's not okay. i was listening to the midnights album and they are everywhere. some examples:
"there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love
The slowest way is never loving them enough"
"my hand was the one you reached for
all throughout the great war"
"You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I've got a lot to pine about
I've got a lot to live without"
"I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around, dancing around it"
"Storm coming, good husband, bad omen
Dragged my feet right down the aisle"
"Movin' on was always easy for me to do
It hits different 'cause it's you"
The swiftie in me needs to share that I think “hoax” is Crowley coded- specially after s2
“When they pulled me apart” could be referring to heaven casting him out, “this was just as dark” referring to Aziraphale choosing heaven at the end of s2.
I also think the whole vibe of the song like- the “you’re the only person I care about but it hurts” is very real for these two.
“You’re faithless loves the only hoax I believe in” also sounds like how Crowley would feel about Aziraphale- like he doesn’t have faith in god anymore so it’s like all his faith is in Aziraphale-
Don't Blame Me is such an anthem for Crowley because in addition to religious themed love lyrics it highlights his incredible ability to never be at fault ever in 6000+ years.
tumblr i need your help finding the one person who is a swiftie and a good omens fan and will make me an edit of the ineffable husbands to Timeless with all their different flashback looks. PLEASE IM BEGGING
