just posted a ts rant if i wake up and find hate I'm gonna turn off ways to contact me and actually do something productive... like studying or attending to schoolwork. cause i have a life. I'm tired of being bombarded with taylor swift and idk just kinda snapped. always kept these feelings in or chatted shit with siblings. but oh my GOD i haven't been able to escape her lately and i had to vent.
im refusing to listen to the new taylor swift album. i gave midnights a chance, and was HEAVILY disappointed. everything I've heard in tiktok snippets and everyone's reactions have put me off, and i want to say that both adoration and annoyance, critics and applause, have put me off on both sides. so don't come at me with "oh don't listen to the HATERS" idgaf. i don't give a single fuck! I'm getting fucking TIRED of her brand being more and more obviously not who she really is, despite her being more and more insistent that it is. she's not a "tortured poet" she's a fucking billionaire pop artist. it's so weird seeing her try and capitalize on two very different personas: one where she's the queen of everything, a girlboss, god of pop, maker of the industry nobody can beat, haters can kiss her ass...but also so misunderstood and deep and introverted and please feel bad for her. Like, I'm sure she has problems, but i don't wanna listen about them after being subjected to her goddamn eras tour online and seeing her carbon footprint. go to a therapist, girl, I'm SURE you can afford it. what's her brand is now with the grey photography and shower thoughts feels so disingenuous when the first lyric i see (that's not a copypasta) from her long awaited "deep, tortured, you'll never understand how i grew up" album is about how your football boyfriend fingers you while on call with his video game buddies. i thought the line about wanting to live in slave times was a copypasta but it's real! girl shut the fuck up. the creek near by grandparent's house is deeper than you're entire 31 song album. the asylum that raised you gave you more power than GOD and you can make your fanbase sob with a london reference to a 4-month relationship TEN YEARS AGO. she has good music, but I'm hesitant to say she's still making good music. and even if she did every day i see her fans sob piss and shit themselves over a "thesaurus entry + middle school level philosophy" lyric i hate her more and more.
all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
Favourite genre of classics article: author going in a tangent about their blorbo from ancient literature. “So-and-so is actually way more interesting than the main character and nobody fully appreciates their storyline or understands them like me.” Okay go off. I think these authors would fit in very well on this webbed site.
if i'm being absolutely completely totally honest i think that "it wasn't you" doesn't go far enough in absolving someone of the guilt of being the subject of a brainwashing or mind control plot. because at the end of the day, it was you. it was your body, your mind, potentially even your soul, being stripped of its autonomy, intimately violated and turned against you as much as anyone else. it's a kind of assault, and should be treated as such, especially in more mature narratives. i think that "it wasn't your fault" and "your shame at being made helpless and unable to control your own body and mind's involuntary responses is understandable, but you are not in any way irredeemable or unforgivable because of what was done to you" are also necessary reassurances. and i think that there should be lingering resentment in spite of words of forgiveness and miscommunication and long-term post-traumatic consequences also.
I need people to stop blaming the death of movies on “quips”. A quip is just a funny line of dialogue. That’s all. Like I just saw a post talking about quips and the death of movies and brought up Pirates of the Caribbean as an example of a better movie and yes it is but also that movie is FULL OF QUIPS. I just rewatched The Princess Bride. It’s all quips. Every single line. And it’s a masterpiece.
Movies suck when people don’t care about the art they’re making. That includes them not caring about their quips. Which is why a lot of comic relief dialogue ALSO sucks now. But the problem isn’t that funny dialogue exists.
woops just pulled an all-nighter in the middle of the week and i can't go to bed because i have a class in....fuck, um....three hours? and i can't miss it. I'm supposed to give a presentation but i don't want to move or else make noise and wake up roommate. but at least me rough draft is done....sort of. it's already late i missed last class. i just need to....print it at the library whenever that opens....turn it in, give a presentation, and properly eat because nothing on campus is open until I'm already expected to be in class and I'm NOT being late.
“ughg i hate (x) color its so ugly” first off all colors are contextualized by their light and environment which is forever shifting so jot that down. second of all bad colors dont exist.
