fun thought experiment. for this purpose, you have to move back with your parents because it's an in-person job in the same city they are in. of note, this could be a temporary thing (as you can move out) but you would be expected to stay at this job for at least a year.

#they are welcome to move here #we do have a good relationship #but $96k isn’t enough for me to go back to Florida

i want money AND someone who wants my company

#both is great but genuinely I would accept one or the other #I don’t really have standing to be picky at this point

my heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue (lover) / when your cascade, ocean wave blues come (peace) / don’t want no other shade of blue but you (hoax) / who would you be sad with? who would you deal with when they were sad and like gray skies everyday for months - would you still stay? (long pond studio sessions) / you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days (so long, london)

Not to be all “I listen to Taylor Swift in a deeper and intellectual way” meme but I am seeing some people just not getting this album at all and I am a bit surprised by it.

[longlivetv]

I just learned these people only raise you to cage you.

This album is about how two men broke her heart just months apart and how she was quite literally going through a mental breakdown while trying to put on a front while performing for millions of people on a world tour but you wouldn’t know that because you’re either so caught up in trying to figure out who each song is about or your so caught up in your hate for her that you’d rather make fun of her in her most vulnerable, raw, and honest state just to make yourself feel better

now can we babe?

#apparently he really couldn’t make any promises

[longlivetv]

I think the title track should have been called modern idiots and the album should have been called the prophecy

ok modern idiots also would’ve been a great track name and tbh a great album name

#omg that would have made a great album title

I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my shit (except for even the tiniest inconvenience)

[longlivetv]

just saw someone say they were 9 during reputation

#y’all don’t want to know how old I was lmao #but biologically I could’ve been that 9 year old’s mother during rep era and have finished high school first

So Long, London + parallels

i can’t believe she opens with talking about being a functioning alcoholic and that is like not even on the list of top 50 most insane things she says

[longlivetv]

Find it interesting that all the matty and joe story is entertained with this nature and destiny and written in the stars type motifs but when she talks about Trav in The Alchemy is more like a magical motif like there’s still chemistry involved but it’s more so connected to magic which is more like at least how I picture, involved and manual like magic just doesn’t happen like you have to make it happen whereas destiny and nature are usually things that happen to you

YEAH!!!!!!!! like, it isn’t any less special or deep of beautiful. but it’s those things because you made it as such, not because the universe told you it was so.

The Manuscript discussion ties really well with WCS where she is like "yes I did agree to this, but why was it an option for me to agree to" and I think that it allows for her to explore her own agency while still questioning why men that much older than her were attracted to her and treating her that way.

it makes my tummy hurt

#the idea of her agency in all of this is both fascinating and 😵‍💫 #they should have known better and she couldn’t possibly have #but she wasn’t without agency just without all the information #and some of it she had no chance to get until much later #spoken as someone her age…we didn’t learn yes means yes we barely got no means no #the entire concept of consent was so different then #things that we know now are not consensual were just called regrets back then #if you were haunted by what happened that used to be a you problem #and it’s taken some of us years to understand we even had the right to be haunted #(sorry that fully diverged into talking about me not Taylor fyi)
