Hello~!

I've never done a match up event before! But knew I had to try once I saw it was open cause your writing is absolutely precious!

For Fandom, I guess DC! Love Batfam family chaos! Makes me want to curl up with a blanket and watch them bicker and roughhouse until Alfred comes in with a feather duster, looking equal parts disappointed and amused.

I'm a 5'3 18 year old asexual panromatic. (Yes, im just a baby, though i have been told-more like my therapist often told me that i dont act my age, saying i act like Im 30. Still trying to figure out if I should be offended by that.) With long hair that's completely grown out red box dye like little mermaid red, my roots being somehow not quite brown not quite ginger and just not blonde enough to be strawberry blonde. My appearance is fairly round and cute even if my expression is often RB. My eyes are a green that appears to be more of a dark grey.

To sum up my personality in one word would be cat like. Sometimes I'm docile and actually a bit of a doormat. In new environments, I tend to shadow some I know and can't find myself able to stand up for myself. This is probably ties into my selective mutism and social anxiety. Sometimes, when I'm in a familiar environment, I tend to be more aggressive for better or for worse. I love a good argument and debate, standing firm in my decision even if I'm wrong. That stubbornness has gotten me in trouble quite a few times. Though cause of it, I've thought of becoming a lawyer. When I'm not arguing I'm drawing, or painting on my walls which I've done far too many times now.

I'm very much a homebody who rather stay in pjs but perfect date wise would probably be a bit of a classic nerd/bookworm date of going to a cute book store and getting lost in the deep wooden bookshelves flicking through various of books catching my eye. Maybe debating on what book is better or whatever trope is more interesting in a detective novel. (I love murder mystery, horror, thrillers, romances of all types, and absolutely despise shakespeare. I was told Romeo and Juliet was a tragic romance. Liars they all are all I can see is the making of a really creepy stalker movie. I can't watch horror movies funny little contradiction, right?) Personally I'd probably write something after the date. I always get inspired by going out and always find myself hunched over my laptop writing whatever inspired me have it be the moment or a movie. I don't know how many times I've watched a movie and got inspired just to spend hours writing whatever fanfic about it. Which can be either amazing or terrible cause I'm an okay writer with a preference for angst due to my dark humor.

I never realized how hard it was to pick an ideal type until just now lol. I guess my type is someone who would enjoy talking/debating/discussing with me, someone fun who loves to do new activities as ive never really do much and is willing to listen to me ramble about whatever hyperfixation. Bucket list kind of things or be able to stay in and talk about their day while I cook some food. (One of my love languages is food. I want to be full and content.) I'm a homebody who has more of a traditional mindset due to my upbringing. So staying home and activities at home would probably be more common. Oh! A bit more open minded or at leasr able to deal with my curiosity, I love discussing religions and culture practices (im unfortunately like the whitest of whites. My dad's side is a bit of a classic white racist). I'm a pagan with some more Wiccan practices, yes crystals and candles. We put holly near our front door and hang cinnamon brooms throughout the house to bring good fortune.

Trope is also a hard pick. I like a good enemies to lovers or a revenge story but romance wise probably a childhood friends (or friends to lovers) idea. Just the idea of your partner being someone who was your friend since you were a tot and chasing butterflies, picking dandelions to blow them into the wind. Someone who has looked at you like your the center of their world while you pull them through the park. Even though they have no idea what lo6ge is truly is. Just kind of melts my heart, and will probably give me cavities from the fluff.

Ahh hopefully I did this right! Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes. Hope you have a blessed day, and something amazing happens to you soon <3

𝐓𝐢𝐦 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐞: 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞-𝐨𝐮𝐭

“I’m back!” Tim exclaims out into the open hallway as he pushes the door closed with his foot. There were multiple white, thin plastic bags in Tim’s hands, his keys dangling from one of his fingers.

You raise your head from the book in your lap, leaning forward to catch a glimpse of your boyfriend as he shimmied his way out of his shoes.

“Hi, honey.” You smile at him as he walks to the coffee table in front of you, setting down the bags of different take-out.

“Alright.” Tim sighs with a grin, his chest heaving a bit quicker, like he was a bit out of breath.

“What’s all this?” You ask, reaching over and pulling some of the thin plastic away from the food. “Smells amazing, no doubt but-“

“Well, you said you wanted to taste the world.” Tim says, a giddy smile on his lips as he plops down onto the couch beside you with a sigh. “So I brought it to you.”

You smile at him before snorting out a chuckle.

“Fuck you.” You say, and Tim simply smiles before grabbing a small box of thai food, handing it to you, giving you a chance to get the first bite.

“You’re welcome.” He says, nuzzling a small kiss to the softness of your cheek.

Headcanons:

Tim and you have annual movie nights. Every Friday night. Very simple, very easy. You have a joint letterbox account where you leave brutally honest reviews and you both analyse that shit like your life depends on it.

When you guys moved into your shared apartment, Tim dedicated one of the walls of your living room for you to paint and draw on. Needed more space? He’ll paint it over with whatever background colour you need.

You guys have a small chalk board on your fridge. It was used as a small shopping list at first, like writing up stuff like ‘ran outta eggs and cucumber’, but it quickly ended up in Tim leaving you cute notes and reminders for when he was gone on patrol.

Tim doesn’t always understand your asexuality, and he struggled to figure out how to relieve himself, but he figured out a solution and tries to turn the topic whenever someone discusses it to the point it makes you uncomfortable.

I hope you like this </3 it’s a bit late and honestly a little rushed but I’m trying😭🙏this also ISN’T proof-read so I’m so, so sorry if there’s mistakes☝️☹️

hi love!! your most recent post on the first 4 princesses in comparison to the 90s ones, as well as why tangled is heteronormative was fantastic! it was so well-put and eloquent, you really have a gift for writing. anyways, it had me thinking what your ideal disney princess/disney princess movie be like? would it be based on a fairytale/folktale or would it be an original creation? hand-drawn or cgi, a musical or no? feel free to go into as much detail as you’d like, i’m so curious to see your response!

Hi there- thank you so much! Nearly everything about the original four princess movies are perfect to me, personally, but I wouldn't want to replicate it so it isn't that I want something specifically thematically (though I can list specific things I enjoy about each) but I do want a fairytale that isn't ashamed it's a fairytale? I want concrete world building, where it feels like we're being taken to a new universe and feel immersed in it and not in a self aware, meta textual way. I want a heroine who isn't the result of all of the expectations of the Disney Princess brand or only has attributes because they'll appease certain sectors of the audience- I want to be introduced to a new energy and a new life that's totally true to who that person is and not just the same character we've seen over and over again (in Rapunzel, Anna, Moana's case, etc). The fascinating thing about the original four princesses is that they're so different and you don't know all the answers about them? People have lazy criticisms against them, but the way Cinderella or Aurora would justify their choices- even things that seem shallow to us or don't make sense- they do it in a way that makes the most amount of sense and reveals information we don't know about certain things that rounds it out and just reminds you that you really can't dictate how other people would act. If you don't understand their reasoning, it's more because you're missing pieces of the puzzle and it just shows how unique people are- whereas now, I feel like people don't see the answer super obviously, they'll just assume it's not there or read something that's not there into it to the expense of the character.

But, I digress. I, myself, am a romantic person so I would like a romance that's based entirely on the two character's chemistry with one another, the type of ship that's fascinating without needing plot points to bring the thrill of their chemistry alive. I really wish we could have a real adaption of Rapunzel, especially- the imagery of the princess in the tower, the power of Rapunzel's voice, to get to know the witch, and the Prince who journeys above the forest and stumbles about her. It really is one of the best stories and so much of it is missing from Tangled. Also, I think Princess and the Pea would be interesting! They could make the Princess more of a Vanessa type, from The Little Mermaid- the imagery of her coming to the castle, amid the rain, and her identity not being believed. I also think it'd be funny if they made her more spoiled or unlikable because, after all, she can feel a singular pea through so many mattresses lol and they're overdue for allowing a female character to be herself, whether that is unlikable to some people, then trying to make them super palatable in EVERY WAY. but I do love just the idea of the castle being so cozy and quaint in the midst of such a rainstorm. I love the ways in which the Prince's mother, the Queen, is a central character and seems like such a wise woman. Which reminds me- I'd like it to be consisting of primarily female characters, mostly with older female characters like we see in Sleeping Beauty. I want the focus to be on wit and amusement and hte human condition as opposed to action (I can't tell you a single thing that happened in Frozen 2). I'd love a natural speaking voice that's more mature- no more Moana or Rapunzel voice actresses ever, please. And it'd have to be traditional animation because I think it lends itself to sophisticated story telling- 3d, as we've seen, really infantilizes the movies. I, personally would like a musical and ideally something that's more natural sounding like Cinderella, operatic and grand in scale like Sleeping Beauty or Snow White, or if it is broadway, I want it to be inventive in its own way like Little Mermaid instead of the same thing for the 100th time. And definitely no Lin Manuel.

Here it is! My tradition of predicting what each song on a new Taylor album will be about, and being completely ✨wrong!✨

01 Fortnight [ft. Post Malone]

I was thinking about this this morning, and I have this feeling...A dance beat. Probably completely wrong, but I'll give my intuition this one.

02 The Tortured Poets Department

The thesis statement of this album. Will outline and explain the concept of the tortured poets department in broad brushstrokes. Contains many facets that will be explored individually on other songs. Biting, smart lyrics. Quick vocal delivery.

03 My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys

The second I saw this title, I thought of "why'd I have to break what I love so much?" from Afterglow. Scornful assessment of self-sabotaging habits of said boy. Possibly trying to justify why things Be Rough.

04 Down Bad

I'm excited for this one, because I think it will be a song about a relationship that the speaker is aware should end, but they don't have the heart for it. So instead sexy times.

05 So Long, London

I am terrified Taylor is going to cancel London, lol. Not sure if this is going to be a mournful goodbye or a biting one. It is so weird not having any idea what this album is going to sound like. This could be an upbeat bop for all I know. But I think it will swing back and forth between genuine hurt and bite.

I also think it won't only be about London specifically, but also cover the lifestyle, friends, and in-laws she had to leave behind. Been thinking about the post-jover implications of "family that I chose now that I see your brother as my brother." Pain.

06 But Daddy I Love Him

Justification of the procrastination of jover. I do wonder if this is a direct Little Mermaid reference, or just common terminology. If the former, maybe the audio clip from the movie plays at the beginning, and she never actually says the title in her lyrical content? I just can't imagine Taylor saying this for some reason, lol. Unless in a strongly country accent.

07 Fresh Out the Slammer

I think this might be a more carefree one with a sense of humor on display, or as carefree as one can be on the tortured poets department.

08 Florida!!! [ft. Florence and the Machine]

Probably about her eras dates there. I predict she will scream "Florida!!!" in a very like folky woodland fairy / spirit haunting the moors type of way.

09 Guilty as Sin?

For this one, I'm predicting a mock court case songwriting structure attempting to identify who is responsible for the problem(s) in a relationship. Maybe it will swing back and forth between "YOU'RE guilty as sin" and "I'm guilty as sin" and perhaps it will end on, "is either of us? Is it that black and white?" hence the question mark.

10 Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?

Maybe a commentary or consideration of how certain so-called grown men are scared of being written into her songs, and meditating on the power she holds from that. I'm just a writer. It's just songs. Why are you so scared of me? You shouldn't do bad things etc. etc.

11 I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)

The title seems pretty straight forward, but appearances can be deceiving. Maybe a to-do list of how to mend a fraught relationship. How You Get the Girl (Pain Version). A bit all over the place emotionally, and I don't mean this in a sexist "hysterical woman" way, but in a there will be a lot of different emotions way. Panic, sarcasm, hope.

12 LOML

This one holds intensely scary possibilities, but tbh, they all do. I've seen it theorized that the titular "loml" will stand for different things throughout the song. I don't know; and it's not my theory, so I cannot lay any claim to it if it's true. I'm going to say this one's a ballad, but I might be being influenced by the Queen song of the same name. What if she samples it? That's my wild card theory.

13 I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Considering the language she used in the Time POTY article, I think it's fair to say this is about going onstage in the wake of jover. I'd say the moonshine/eclipse lyric is from this one. About recognizing your power and how you still have it, even when you may feel like shit.

14 The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

Again pretty obvious...Maybe this album tells a chronological story and this is when she stops trying to justify her lover's actions and turns to putting them on unapologetic, well-written, scathing blast.

15 The Alchemy

I predict witchy, willow vibes. A list of ingredients on how to turn a love into gold. Another how-to song.

16 Clara Bow

I said the titular song is the thesis statement of the album, but I predict Clara Bow rephrases the thesis with the context of everything that comes before, like any good essay. Considering everything in her life and coming to grand, sweeping conclusions.

The Manuscript

A love letter? Maybe views the entire relationship through the frame of the manuscript is the accumulation of every single song she wrote about them? The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now...Here is all the proof.

The Bolter

I've seen a lot of other fan theories about this one, and I do lean towards the prediction that it's about her tendency to bolt. How she frames that and what the conclusion of the story is: I should have bolted? You should have bolted? I was right all along and will be a bolter for the rest of my life?

The Albatross

The context of sailors capturing albatrosses and making fun of them being awkward on-land when they're so graceful alone in the sky...ow. Ms. Swift will definitely be doing something with that. Is SHE the albatross? Probably.

The Black Dog

This is one of the ones I'm most excited for because I think it will delve into really depressive topics really candidly and personally I could vibe with that.

It is kind of funny Taylor has not one but two songs named after animals on this album, and neither of them are cats.
