[thegeminisage]

it IS tng update time. saturday we watched "relics" and "schisms" and last night* we did "true q" and "rascals."

*times altered bc as usual im typing this up late at night

relics:

oh boy. ohhh my god

so like, i'd like to preface this with: i am not a scotty stan or anything. don't get me wrong i love the guy and i'm fascinated by the way he tricked me into thinking he had all ten fingers. like he's v fun and all. but im not like Extremely Emotionally Invested In Scotty. all right. that said

I CRIED. LIKE A BABY. no one was more shocked than i was. actually i'm sure catherine was not shocked at all

i didn't cry when he first showed up which is what i suaully do when i see spock. no, no, no, no. it was when he went to the holodeck and created the fucking BRIDGE OF THE ENTERPRISE. and they played the main theme!!! the sound effects were even the same!!!!!!! and like all his friends are dead now except spock and bones and bones frankly has one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel!!!!!!!! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

chronologically, this is also the last time we'll ever see a tos cast member coming back to reprise their role except for aos spock and um. an appearance which i do not wish to discuss now or ever. anyway it's definitely the last time in tng proper. and like yeah we have aos and snw and everything but those guys arent the OGs. AUGH.

also wah him saying the doctors are prettier on this enterprise. thats SO MEAN TO BONES………………….i miss him so bad and he's WAY prettier than beverly sorry beverly

i definitely wanted to kill geordi for yelling at scotty when he tried to tell his old man stories. im glad they hung out for the rest of the episode and that geordi treated him really niceys but it still felt a teensy bit patronizing of him at first like he was just doing it because picard told him to make scotty feel useful

THAT SAID. for once, i am pro picard, because picard is a giant nerd and he wanted to listen to scotty's old man stories as much as i did. not that i got to enjoy them while being blinded by tears. i'm actually genuinely tearing up right now while typing this just thinking about it. i think it was genuinely compassionate for picard to want to give scotty something he could genuinely help with in a way that WASN'T patronizing. like old people are just regular people you know. we all get old one day if we're lucky

spotted scotty's missing finger twice, which is two more times than i spotted it in my original watch of tos.

he remembered how to hide the missing finger (mostly) but forgot how to do his fake scottish accent. in his defense it's been ages and he was old but it was still funny

synthehol is wack. it's just another way in which there's no work-life boundary in tng. you're always on call, so you can never get drunk. you will NEVER have personal time aboard this ship. they can call you in your son's parent-teacher meeting. they can call you during birthday parties. you cannot raise your children here. but they do. anyway.

IT'S GREEN!!! i remember seeing a gifset of data floating around saying that to somebody, and then later i saw a gifset of scotty saying it in tos, but i didn't realize data was talking TO SOCTTY i thought it was just a reference!!!!!!! there were actually sooo many tos references in this episode, i was so pleased to hav caught them all <3

looooooved the dyson sphere. that was genuinely so fucking fascinating and it was the b plot!!!!! why can't it be the a plot!!!! it was so cool looking

i thot for a sec they were gonna kill scotty at the end and got REALLY worried but they didn't and he decided not to retire after all and good for him <3

anyway. that cry felt like a full-body workout. horrific.

schisms:

OFF GOES RIKER TO THE COFFEE SHOP

i waited so long to see the episode that gifset is from and it did NOT disappoint

my one sour note re: this ep was the beginning with data's poetry. can we please be nice to him and not loudly fall asleep in the front row. i know the circumstances are highly extenuating. i of all people understand sleep deprivation, which i am currently experiencing even as i type. but that was just rude!!! could he not have simply explained he was unwell and unable to attend!!!!!!! the crowd being restless was terrible. if you simply tell him that he has to have a limit on his poems he would understand. i'm glad geordi was an honest critic when data asked later but i would have liked to see data's results after incorporating his feedback. ok anyway

firstly, i loved when a little guy is sleep deprived. it was great when sam winchester did it and also great when riker does it

SECONDLY, that whole sequence with the table was fucking insane. everything getting darker and darker both literally and metaphorically and deanna starting to look uneasy near the end and riker's eyes being ABSOLUTELY HAUNTED and that table was basically like a chair, anyway

when they were like "yeah the aliens cut off your arm and reattached it" READER I HOLLERED. you can't just put a guy on a chair and tear his arm off and then make him forget stuff. please. it's been nearly 10 years.

when he's like theyre gonna take me again whether i want them to or not. yeah man they sure are. this isn't quite riker roulette but it is definitely adjacent

i think the best cure for insomnia is to be absolutely terrified of going to bed because you're still in uniform and have a tracking device on you because you are about to get abducted by fucking aliens. who could resist sleep after that.

i did wonder why he laid on the table so long before attempting his escape when time was precious but i doubt i could have done any better in his shoes. i sure did love the way that knife thing hung right above his neck though. i'm pretty sure we spent that entire scene hollering DISMEMBER HIM. TRAUMATIZE HIM!! and then they didn't <3 but i'm not even mad about it

anyway. 10/10 episode they need more space horror in star trek bc it's always fun. i remember reading that tos was originally meant to be space horror-y, but i found the pacing of those earliest episodes waaaay too slow. i want a star trek show with more dismemberment though.

true q:

mistakenly thot this episode was named qpid (got it mixed up) and was hoping for more of q wanting to fuck picard to so bad it makes him look stupid but all we got was one little arm around his shoulder. which was REALLLY funny because picard instantly made a face like he'd eaten sour lemon but we deserved more. to reiterate i do NOT want them to fuck i think the dynamic of q wanting to fuck and picard preferring to die first is the funniest possible set of circumstances

instead, q constantly displays predatory body language towards this EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. he leans really close to her and whispers in her ear and all that stuff and i did Not like it

i kept waiting for this girl to secretly be his child, or for her parents to have once been friends with him, but they literally were just randos to each other. disappointing, especially after he vanished while she was having her emotional moment on seeing their faces

where do the puppies go when she vanishes them? do they cease to exist?? did she just kill 12 puppies on screen???? too horrible to contemplate. i wish i could make kittens out of thin air though. actually that would be a terrible power the world is overpopulated with kittens as it is but STILL.

i want to know more about the weather altering net. we could have an entire episode about that alone. you just...got rid of tornadoes? and forest fires? did you fix climate change??

riker almost being killed by an empty barrel sent me into fits. they didn't strap them down after what happened to worf? this spaceship gets jostled horrifically EVERY EPISODE. what are they thinking!!!!!!!!!

RIKER ROULETTE STRIKES AGAIN. her bringing him to the alternate dimension and trying to lay on the moves was bad enough but using her powers to MAKE HIM START KISSING HER? HELLO???? i'm still mad they wrote an episode about rape and just used it for deanna fetish fuel instead of actually discussing what this poor guy goes through. why is it somehow ok/not noteworthy when it's men. come on now

it was kind of silly to have this girl go "no way im a human forever" and then immediately solve climate change on this other planet because her lil crush (/VICTIM???) was down there. like that was so rushed and weird

ultimately not a very good episode. i only like one thing about q and they did NOT deliver. he was also a misogynist to beverly once...like, die

rascals:

this got a 1 on letswatchstartrek.com and i simply disagree. i would have given it a 2 or mmmaybe 3. well no probably a 2 but STILL. first of all, tng's children are ALWAYS charming, and these guys were no exception, save possibly the kid who was playing picard, who was fine until the tantrum scene/riker's son bit, at which point i wanted to die

i never want to hear riker say daddy again.

i HAAAATE the ferengi theyre racist theyre misogynist i HATE THEM.

i felt like there was a missed opportunity with obrien and keiko to have him be cool about it, instead of awkward like everyone else. like i obviously dont think they should be canoodling or anything, gross, but there's nothing wrong with a little platonic compassion. he got there in the end ig but idk it would've made a nice contrast

how old is their fucking baby??? i just looked it up and she was born at the beginning of season 5...her ass is NOT old enough to be talking yet let alone full complete clear sentences??????

anyway speaking of compassion............GUINAN AND RO

i actually unironically loved ro's little arc here. anyone who had a shitty childhood will tell you they'd cut off their arm before going back, but she had to go back anyway, and guinan neither pitied her nor minimized anything she'd gone through. instead she got to occupy that space in a totally harmless way and receive a little closure. while the rest of this episode was okay-ish to maybe less than okayish (i NEVER want to hear riker say daddy EVER again) ro's little bit was so so so good.

re: ro...i love that we don't constantly bring her past and situation up as if it's the only thing about her but nor do we shy away from it and how it's shaped her and the narrative has never once suggested she's too harsh or too angry or whatever. of course with a season and a half left there's still time to ruin it but so far her whole thing has been one of the very few instances where tng is doing everything wonderfully.

NEXT TIME: "a fistful of datas" (noooo it's a holodeck episode) and "the quality of life."

content creator tag

hi so i’m late to tis trend as always, but i thought by starting the new year by doing this so here goes nothing! rules: answer the questions and then tag 10+ other creators to answer the questions! i was tagged by @bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-8, thank u v much btw for tagging me!

first creation and most recent creation of 2020: first creation of 2020 is of course a tcw gifset of my mans, obi wan kenobi! also i just realized it’s been a while since i’ve done one of those sets whoops lol. my most recent creation of 2020 is this secret santa gifset of anakin skywalker from rots!

one of your favorite creations from 2020: oh god, it’s so hard to choose there are so many! i know this anidala + happiness by taylor swift  gifset is recent, but i really love how it turned out! ps crashed so many times while making it though, i wanted to yeet my computer off a cliff!!!

a creation you’re really proud of: obi wan and anakin + my tears ricochet by taylor swift gifset i made for my 4k celebration ( which i still havent completed bc i suck ). this gifset i’m really proud of because i was trying new things, and i love the end result!

a new style you tried this year and a gifset that uses it: this ahsoka tano character profile gifset! i’ve made similar stuff before, but this was a different kind of style i wasn’t very used to. still, i like how it turned out and it makes me realize how much i see myself in ahsoka as well bc we share a lot of the same things according to google!

your favorite coloring: ngl,,, i really like coloring star wars: rebels,,, even tho i hardly gif it. ahsoka’s iconic “i’m no jedi” scene and her defeating the inquisitor are very pretty colorings to me! also, this parallel gifset of anakin and ahsoka is a good one too!

a creation you think deserved more notes: i actually have a few that i spent a lot of time on and was a bit sad that they didn’t get a lot of attention. this centuries gifset really flopped, even though i really liked how it turned out. this really angsty harry potter gifset that i cried over. i probably have more, but i’m too lazy to check.

a creation with a favorite scene/quote: the unfinished episode of tcw quote with this scene,,,, god it makes me feel a lot of things! this is one of my saddest sets, but it’s one of my favorites!

a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it: i recently got into the lotr/hobbit trilogies and here’s my rainbow gifset for the lotr!

a creation you made that breaks your heart: fuck live action ahsoka, but this quote with animated ahsoka and anakin makes me wanna curl up in a ball and cry!!!! this harry potter gifset as well bc boy oh boy does it make me even more depressed! last but not least,,,, the clone wars series finale with this excerpt from the ahsoka novel,,,, just kill me it would hurt less.

a ‘simple’ creation that you really love: i guess this would be considered simple, but padmé’s outfits gifset is one i love a lot! i love the colorings, the scenes, the outfits, padmé, everything!

a creation that was inspired by another one (add both your creation and the one that inspired it!): i have two that i love! illicit affairs by taylor swift + anidala! here is the set i was inspired by my babe @ahskatano and here is the one i made! another is a hogwarts house gifset with quotes! here is the slytherin version created by @anakin-skywalker and here is the ravenclaw one i made!

a favorite creation(s) created by someone else: there are just SO MANY but lemme list my top favs. the lightsaber color series by @anakin-skywalker! the chaotic trio and the witcher episodes gifsets by @anya-chalotra who i absolutely love every single one of their gifsets like top tier!! this star wars + folklore from taylor swift gifset by @ahskatano is one of my all time favs i love it sm!

some of your favorite content creators from the year: i know i probably will forget some but @pedrc-pascal @anakin-skywalker @andthwip @dakotajohnsom @anya-chalotra @yenvengerberg @ahskatano @ewan-mcgregor @soka-tano @sersi @rise-of-ahsoka @obi--wans @obiwanobi @kenobiies

and for good measure, another a couple more creations of yours that you love: this tired space dad gifset that i impulsively made, ahsoka’s arms gifset bc that is good shit, dramatic siths being their dramatic selves gifset, another ahsoka novel excerpt gifset from tcw series finale, and ofc,,, i gotta include my bitch wife and the not explained plot of the darksaber being taken gifset from s2 of the mandalorian!

#tag games #i spent wayyy too much time on this than necessary #joey talks

[pateldevs]

don’t be shy; share those cho chang headcanons 👀 (thank you for blessing us with that cho chang gifset btw, i love her)

ok literally thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about how much i love cho chang and she got done so dirty in the books AND the movies and i also have this elaborate backstory for her parents bc i love her so much aaaaa anyway there’s a lot so under the cut! ~~

i have fully adopted it into canon in my head lol but her chinese name is 張秋 (which means the pinyin i’m more familiar w would be ‘zhang qiu’ which i guess is close enough to cho), 張 meaning hunter/archer and 秋 meaning harvest/autumn

the fact that her anglicized surname is ‘chang’ and not ‘zhang’ makes me think her dad’s family is taiwanese

her mom’s family used to be involved in international affairs for the british ministry of magic office in hong kong (as it was still a colony) and that’s how her mom’s family came to the uk

her parents fully embodied the enemies-to-lovers trope when they were at hogwarts b/c her dad captained the ravenclaw quidditch team and her mom captained the gryffindor team and they were both seekers

hence cho totally grew up on quidditch and played around trying to catch an old snitch with her parents from a young age

she almost ended up in hufflepuff. look at the way she stuck by marietta in ootp?? she’s so fiercely loyal!! wtf!!!

the kinds of traits that ultimately put her in ravenclaw make her a good athlete and vice versa. look at how she plays quidditch: she relies on a number of strategies besides just outright skill, usually distraction/diversion and turning the opposing seeker’s skills against them

that said i fully think her father is muggle-born or half-blood and grew up fencing, so he teaches her how to fence, and so she’s also a great épée fencer

she’s not great with offensive spells - hence her trouble in when they’re in DA in ootp - but she’s excellent with defensive charms, predicting what her opponent’s going to do, moving fast. it’s what makes her one of flitwick’s favorite students.

charms is her best class. don’t ask me for justification here it just is.

flitwick obviously sees her potential and totally invites her to dueling club even though she’s quite young for it

she’s a harpist. don’t ask me where this came from i just think if she played an instrument it would be harp

she’s a younger sibling, she’s so sensitive like fr the eldest daughter in an asian family would just internalize their emotions (this one was developed jointly with my older sister lmao)

she and cedric didn’t start out as a couple. they started as friends when both of them were out on the quidditch pitch early one morning, just practicing flying.

she and cedric tell each other EVERYTHING. absolutely everything. like fr this girl was almost a hufflepuff ok don’t tell me they wouldn’t have the most emotionally invested relationship

cedric asks her to the yule ball and quickly says it’s a really lowkey thing, they’re just friends

they’re not just friends though, she thinks she’s starting to like him because when he looks at her she feels like she can do anything, and when he looks at her it’s her, not her sister, not anyone else.

she’s secretly glad that she has a reason to turn down harry when he asks her to the yule ball. marietta thinks she’s crazy - who would willingly turn down a chance to be harry potter’s date?? - but cho just can’t bear the thought of just being ‘harry potter’s date.’ with cedric, at least she has a chance to be herself.

when cedric dies she’s absolutely devastated:

she can’t stop thinking about how they snuck out of their houses to sit on top of the astronomy tower and look at the stars the night before the last task

she can’t stop thinking about how he confessed that he was scared but he knew he’s so close to winning, and how he joked that it would be impossible for her to not fall in love with him if he won

she can’t stop thinking about how she said don’t be scared, just pretend i’m there with you, i’ve got your back (because obviously they’ve been to dueling club together and he knows how good she is at defensive spells)

she can’t stop thinking about how he waved to her before he entered the maze at the start of the third task

she feels so insanely guilty that maybe she’s the reason he died, he said he wanted to do well to impress her that night on the astronomy tower, didn’t he?

she loses sleep over it, she has dreams about that last night all the time, she has dreams about seeing harry coming back with cedric’s body, she has these dreams where she’s watching him get killed and she can’t do anything to defend him

she wants to ask harry about it at the end of the year but she doesn’t, because she doesn’t think she can handle hearing about it, but somehow it’s worse hearing rumors from everyone else

she finds herself drawn to harry because he makes her feel closer to cedric, because the loss of cedric is something they both share and surely harry must know how it feels

honestly this is what really pisses me off about how she’s written in the books, is that her emotions are so one-dimensional that they become a caricature of asian women as meek and weepy. the most her emotions ever got developed was when hermione explained how cho must be feeling after she kissed harry

like, you’re allowed to have female characters whose arcs are largely tied to and/or driven by other characters, but you gotta actually go into those relationships yk? in the books she’s only ever someone’s girlfriend and she just cries all the time but we don’t actually talk about why

she’s not just crying all the time because she incapable of moving on (which is more or less what harry thinks). she’s crying because she didn’t just lose her boyfriend, she lost one of her best friends. she stops going to dueling club because she’s lost her partner. her flying starts suffering because she thinks about all those early morning 1v1 games she and cedric used to have.

(marietta only goes to DA meetings with her because she feels like it’s the ‘good friend’ thing to do. if going to DA helps her cope with cedric’s death then sure. she goes.)

i’ve already said she was almost a hufflepuff but i have to say it again, cho loves and cares so deeply. she’s a sucker for sentimentalism. she skips dumbledore’s funeral to stand up on the astronomy tower and think about the war that’s coming.

on the last day of her seventh year, she finds the room of requirement again and spends hours walking through it, remembering everything she learnt in DA

when the war really starts up after dumbledore’s death, her parents want to move away, they want her and her sister to have as non-magical a life as they can, so she does, but she keeps the DA galleon and her wand instead of snapping it like her sister. her parents have absolutely no idea that she goes off to the battle of hogwarts. 

when she fights she’s a team player. she partners up with katie bell for most of the final battle

at one point she and katie are separated and she comes face to face with a death eater. she almost kills him. she wants to so badly. she hates what the man stands for. but she thinks about two of the most important people in this war, harry and cedric, and she thinks, they never would. so she doesn’t.

^ she doesn’t think of harry and cedric because of her relationship with them. in fact it’s thinking about her relationship with cedric that makes her want to kill the death eater. but she thinks of harry and cedric, and what they would want and do, because they are the ones who had/have the most to lose in this war.

when are we going to get a series that delves into how visceral her emotions were?! how her grief tore her to pieces! how her trauma ate away at her! how disarming a death eater and pinning him to the ground and holding the tip of her wand to his throat made her feel like a totally different person, how close she came to ending his life! how, in the days after the battle, she feels disgusted by the idea that she even thought about using an unforgivable curse. how she learns to recover and rebuild and heal!

she plays seeker for the holyhead harpies for a while. she learns to love flying again. she learns to love the stars again. 

she doesn’t really start a family because she has little interest in being associated with others as ‘so-and-so’s wife’ or ‘so-and-so’s mother.’

she always visits cedric’s grave on june 24 every year.

eventually when flitwick retires she takes his place as charms professor and head of house because if anyone deserves a happy ending it’s cho chang!!

#she has so many emotions to be explored!! #also i saw ur tags on my post and i was like big heart eyes lmao #thank u for giving me the opportunity to think about my Queen #i'm sorry i just think about her a lot #she was so brilliant and smart and had so much to her!!! #and every time she showed up it was just so harry could be like 'she was pretty owo' #answered #deifiliaa #cho chang #txt #hp

[ofmara]

*record scratch* *freeze frame* yep, that’s me. BVCNJ hey lads ~ i’m ally, i’m twenty2, my timezone is est, i use she/her pronouns & full disclaimer: i don’t know what the fuck i’m doing! just keep that in mind when you read this.. trash lmao. anyways! if u wanna plot, feel free to hmu on d*scord at HE IS SO BIIIIG 😩👌🏼🧡#2581 or yk use the lil chat thing on tumblr if u wanna start small or w/e FDCNK no pressure. moving on..

mara’s pinterest: here!

content warning: ..none?? who am i???

( ariana grande & cis female. ) oh my god look, it’s mara de luca! she is a 24 year old singer/songwriter from queens, new york. they were first associated with the met cartel 3 years ago, and the tabloids are always saying she is so impulsive & irreverent, but their stans on twitter say that she is actually really magnetic & passionate.

first thing’s first.. i haven’t written a coherent intro in a fucking Minute, so i’m offering premature apologies for the shitshow that’s about to follow, especially since i really waited til the last second to type this out even if this blog’s been Done for a week smh ANYWAYS!

ok so! mara is what i like to call ‘a textbook new yorker’ in that she’s Loud, she Loves Her Family and she’s Unapologetically Herself. my character inspirations for her are joey from netflix’s the circle, fran fine from the nanny, molly gunn from uptown girls and a little bit of cher from clueless sprinkled in there ( mainly bcos of this gifset lmao ). since i came up with her a few weeks ago, i really had so many different personalities for her but like.. let’s keep reading to see that literally all of them were apparently Not True ~

she was born into a very tightly-knit family & grew up constantly surrounded by them. she’s got three older brothers, meaning she’s the Baby of the family, so she’s been uhhhhhh doted on all her life! we stan! that said, she’s never known what its like to be on her own, especially considering that her family was right by her side every step of the way as she slowly grew her career from childhood. she got her start singing the national anthem at a knicks game when she was 8 and slowly built from there. her parents were always suuuper supportive and did all they could to help her achieve her dreams, even though they were struggling to make ends meet.

her parents own a small bakery in queens that they started when her oldest brother was little and have been a staple in the city ever since. though they’re a somewhat popular spot for tourists and locals alike, ny real estate isn’t cheap, so paying rent both for the store and their apartment above it has always been a struggle, especially once they started dedicating a good portion of their money to plane tickets and agents and all sorts of necessities mara needed in order for her dreams to come true. the extra expense was difficult on her brothers as well, though they made a point never to complain when they had to get a second or third job to help pay the bills.

ANYWAYS she grew up veryyyy close to her family and the sacrifices they made on her behalf didn’t go unnoticed, so the first thing she did when she finally Made It was buy them a bigger space for their bakery ( since her parents Love working it even if its rough sometimes, buddy ) and a new house so ;) we love a Family First mentality!

HOWEVER!! when mara first moved to LA in like?? 2015 or something?? idk timelines.. but anyways when she first moved to LA she was.. how u say.... Depressed cos like even though she was Living Her Dream as the artist she’s always wanted to be ( she lived in queens w/ her family up until after her first Big Break cos she’s a big time daddy’s girl ) .. she was essentially on her own since her family stayed in nyc :/ yk, where they live? yeah. so she was on her own for the first time... Ever & it was scary and stressful and essentially, she wasn’t doing great mentally or emotionally, even if she put on that *ari vc* fake smile.

that was untiiiiiiil she got her first ~ hollywood boyfriend ~ aka someone famous who helped both with her career and as a salve to the constant loneliness the bitch always feelin. long story short, he didn’t last long, but she Needed to feel Wanted so she got Another ~ hollywood boyfriend ~ until it became, like, Her Thing to Always be attached to someone in the tabloids and the press and on Entertainment Tonight. we love a codependent bitch! that’s also kinda how she got to be part of the met cartel cos she immediately attaches herself fully and completely to everyone she meets & falls a little bit in love with every person who has ever said hello to her, so.. Yeah! most of her friendships were likely formed because she just would not leave them alone ( she’s clingy and needy As Fuck, but she knows she is, so she’s constantly worrying about it aka she’s always wondering if people really like her cos she’s been said to be “too much” and “annoying” by some people who.. weren’t interested in being her friend ) anyways.. feel free to lmk if u want ur chara to hate her cos she will fully have her feelings hurt but still want them to like her cos shes a, say it with me kids, people pleaser ~

its v clear why i thought of joey & fran for inspo ( espeeeeecially fran, now that i think about it: i.e. constantly searching for love, lovingly obnoxious ) but as for why she’s like molly gunn... bitch is uhhh naive as fuck and will trust anyone who is even a little bit nice to her so peep her constantly seeing everyone through rose colored glasses and immediately feeling like her heart is broken when they turn out to be someone completely different lmao! also yk in the little mermaid when ariel was like “but daddy, i love him!” ??? YEAH, that’s mara to a fucking T, m8!

i could quite literally go on and on for hours, but to keep it short and sexy, here’s her stats page & i’ll follow up with a list of some little tidbits of info.. some Quirks, if u will..

she hiccups when she cries & BOY does she cry often BVJNCDKM

cannot cook a single mf thing to save her life? yeah.. her parents wanted to let her work in the bakery but .. she burned everything so she was cashier ;)

can quote the entirety of bring it on: all or nothing & as a segue from that, she is very chatty during movies if she’s with even one other person but Silent when she’s alone

will challenge anyone and everyone to mario kart wii as long as she gets to play yoshi ( she has a vendetta against baby peach )

is Constantly Freezing, so she’s always in thick socks and turns the heat up high when she’s at home

has a cavalier king charles spaniel named piper ( yes, i'm using a fc for her dog )

i’m gonna b p selective with which ari songs she’s released both bc i dont like All of ari’s songs & for character purposes ( rip in peace, sweetener )

is classically trained on the piano and sometimes just plays classical music for fun, making up silly lyrics at parties and whatnot lol she’s just Fun & Quirky like that

owns every season of the o.c. on dvd

she has a car but i havent decided if she ever drives it ( or what kind it is, tho i assure u my virgo ass will be researching it at some point ) since she really just barely passed her driver’s test

is constantly in the tabloids for one dumbass thing after the other mostly as an excuse for me to make tabloid edits but like... i love that for her & will 100% be down to include any and all of u if u lmk u wanna be in one

and many more, but i’m really just sitting here rambling UGH EW so lms for plots cos i’m unprepared & i don’t have any wc’s! very on brand for me, i must say

#met:start #♡ — ❛ out of character. ❜ #when u use recycled tags and cant remember what the fuck they are? yeah #anyways!

misc tidbits from the untamed eps 22-24

just so’s i don’t forget some stuff that happened because everything starts to merge together after a while. i’m lazy so here are my original notes plus annotations i am making just now, days later, enjoy lol

22

why do these 2 have the cutest conversations on rooftops

i mean granted they (lwj and wwx) have cute conversations in lots of places, but ALL their rooftop convos are cute in some way. i hope it’s not just so they can have an angsty rooftop conversation later that feels even worse because it’s reminiscent of these earlier cute ones

lwj is so clearly worried about him. and trusts him! this hurts me. wwx even knows that lwj is worried as opposed to judgy! my heart!!

in retrospect this scene is kinda ludicrous because wwx promises he won’t ever use demonic cultivation (which is weird bc he must have known he would be doing it sooner or later in front of lwj?) and lwj believes him, and then later this very same episode wwx whips out ol’ flamey and goes to town on some resentful energy in the middle of a battlefield

though in fairness he did wait until the last possible second when basically everyone was already dead before being like “i guess i have to actually use my awesome powers that i’ve been hiding since there’s no other option”

god effing dammit xuan lu is crying again

i HATE it when she cries. cannot handle it. and unfortunately there is MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM ugh this show is the WORST

aw fuck there's more xiyao i'm not strong enough for this

listen these two have the best chemistry of anyone on the show and i’m really mad about it because i don’t want to ship it! because jgy is a horrible person and also because they have a tragic ending!!

okay like yes obviously wangxian also have amazing chemistry but does one of them sensually stroke the other’s hands the first time they meet??? no, they do not. so xiyao has the corner on that market unfortunately

also they’re both just. so beautiful. ughhhhh

lhk has the most intense face

i don’t remember which part this is about but honestly it’s always true

really good fight scenes!

yeah omg my expectation for cql fight scenes is so low bc i hated all the fights in the early episodes. but when they limit the use of wires and focus on the choreography, i super dig it! the actors and doubles are doing a great job!!

23

for some reason i assumed that jgy didn't start wearing the hat thing until he became chief cultivator, so now that i know he's wearing it this early it recontextualizes some gifsets for me

he does become chief cultivator, right? i didn’t make that up in a fever dream?

so much xiyao...lxc protecting jgy from nmj...calling him ah-yao...keeping jgy from bowing to him...have mercy

they’re so tender and i’m g r u m p y

how come no one figured out about wwx’s golden core while he was in a coma??

still have this question honestly. lwj and jyl i don’t know what kind of caretaking you’re doing but i feel like that would have come up early on in the process

that cleansing guqin scene!

can’t be coherent about it but note to future self: it’s in episode 23 if you want to rewatch it

oh all of a sudden it's super easy to destroy pieces of yin metal? are we supposed to forget about that time the lan clan elder had to lock herself in the honey bunny cave of marriage with a piece of yin metal because there was no way to destroy it? it’s either a plothole or it’s setting something up for later, idk

there are so many significant caves in this show and i’m gonna come up with a dumb rhyme for every single one of them, just watch me

24

wwx is here to do what jc can’t because he’s an important sect leader now: just roll up to the banquet, remind everybody that jyl can decide if she wants to get married or not, and then yell “later, suckers” over his shoulder as he skateboards away

lwj is grounded so wwx just invites himself over lol

“why isn’t lan zhan with you? oh, he’s in Rules Jail? okay cool i got nothing going on i’ll just pop over there and keep him company”

i love every interaction between lxc and wwx because lxc is this fabulous mix of 1) indulgent/fond of this kid who will be his BIL someday, 2) stern because he’s protective of lwj and wwx really has no idea what effect he has on that guy, and 3) completely baffled because wwx is such a fuckin weirdo lmao

wwx is a real cocky bastard in this scene. dude you’re not doing yourself any favors!

YUNMENG SIBLING FEELS!!!!

they fight but they love each other!

wwx making choices that hurt jc but it’s all to protect him!!

making promises to shijie he can’t keep!!!

heartfelt conversations and eavesdropping!!!!

wwx being babey and jc being fond about it against his will!!!!!!

CHILDISH BICKERING

oh yeah this for sure isn’t gonna break my heart later

#we got the murder turtle cave we got the honey bunny cave now i just need a rhyming name for the burial mounds cave #i feel like i'm two steps away from inventing a worse version of cockney rhyming slang #these posts take me so long but i honestly have no memory of what happened in the episodes i don't make a post for #so i feel like i have to record my thoughts about them in some fashion #i should probably just make notes to myself and not put them on tumblr. but this way people reply and i learn things #i feel bad that these posts are so long but hopefully people just press that j key if they wanna skip it #also i've discovered i don't have to tag spoilers for dangerliesbeforeyou because she was already avoiding my posts for spoiler reasons! #which is good bc i keep forgetting to tag them lol #the untamed #cql watch #my posts

[freckliedan]

can you describe the first time u saw the vday vid?

oof. yeah b, i can- i'm not sure what level of detail u were looking for with this ask but i might have both more and less than you were hoping for? i have a very weirdly strong memory for things that have happened in my life - less so for things that happened during 10th grade & half of 11th grade bc i was dissociating so hard then - but my memories go back into first person around halfway thru 11th grade, which is when i found dnp, so. i remember watching the vday vid for the first time pretty damn well. 

(under the cut because i do not know how to not make essays)

i was 16, it was late november/early december of 2012, and i'd first watched a dnp vid in mid/early november. less than a month after the vday leak. so. it was just over six years ago and it was late at night and i was on my computer after i was supposed to be asleep, i’m sure of that. it was dark out; nighttime during alaska winters is something that’s hard to describe to people who haven’t experienced it before. it’s an omnipresent lack of light. 

so it was nighttime and i was almost certainly the last person awake in my house. my mom and sister always were asleep before me, and my parents had separated the summer before my 10th grade year so it was just the three of us at home. i would’ve been in the bedroom i’d had since i was seven. 

(replying to this ask feels weird, because even though i moved out when i was 18, i moved back in with my dad almost two years ago now and my bed is in the exact same place in the exact same room as it was when i was in highschool? it doesn’t feel the same as it did then, everything is better than it was when i was younger, but it’s still so weird to be revisiting this so many years later). 

my bedframe had drawers and storage built in, and i would tuck my computer away in the second drawer down and pull it out once everyone else was asleep so i could go back on the internet. i definitely did that, the night i saw the vday vid. i didn’t have a tumblr yet, then; i just would regularly check a handful of people’s blogs (the only person whose blog i remember looking at specifically is @thelionandthellama ! finding them again in the phandom this year was so wild and incredible for me). 

and like, it was november of 2012. 

the vday video was still on tumblr like.. i watched the vday video on tumblr. it was a different time it was a messy time. i probably saw something mentioning it, maybe this gifset? and i remember it.. didn’t take me long to find the video. the tumblr it was on wasn’t even password protected. i tried watching it again a little bit later, though, and the entire blog was gone. 

anyways. not to sidetrack right when i get to the part where i’m actually talking about the vday vid itself, but you know how there’s a difference between knowing something rationally and knowing something in your bones or in your gut? like, how sometimes you feel the things you know. 

i used to know in my bones that love wasn’t real, romance was 100% of the time inevitably doomed/not real/a lie, and that when people didn’t get divorced it was just because once they stopped being in love they still were friends enough to like, coexist in the same house and life. i knew love wasn’t real i knew it and i knew i was never going to find love and that there was no point. 

i was very sad. my parents’ divorce hit me pretty hard but i knew so many other adults who divorced like i didn’t have a reason in my life to believe that love was real or possible! i knew it was fake.

and then i saw the vday video and i remember sitting against my wall and the world just going still when i watched it. because i was anticipating something big, and i already believed that dnp would be good together-i think that’s the only time in my life i would call myself a shipper? before i knew anything. now i just consider myself a supporter of their relationship and someone who’s  inspired by/a fan of their love.

back to the video, though. i watched it alone in the dark and i didn’t beleive in love and i’m certain i watched it more than once in a row, that first time. i don’t think it was the moral question that it is now. i know there’s people who morally don’t feel like they can watch it or that they want to? and that’s so valid, and things have gotten awfully convoluted at this point in time around the vday video. but back then i was just a kid in the dark looking for something to believe in and i found it.

i think i cried? i probably cried. because like. i watched it and love was real again. love is everything to me the entire world is love it’s the thing i believe in more than anything else and the vday video made love real again. i watched it and then i watched videos of the halloween gathering and i just. i knew love was real again. i knew they’d said it was a prank. i knew that. but i watched the video and i knew it was real. i knew it. and love existed again. 

so, yeah . not to be soppy but dnp literally put my life on the trajectory that lead to me meeting or getting close with everyone i love and consider family and were the start of me figuring out my mental and physical health and what i want to do with my life and i remember sitting in the dark watching the vday video and now i’m in a world filled with light and love and i’m so fucking thankful every single day. this is soppy and long and perhaps not at all what you were looking for but like.

when i watched the vday video i knew it was real and i’m still certain of that and i still cry watching it sometimes. i can’t make eye contact with phil in the video i think watching the vday video is what made me realize how rare it is for phil to actually make eye contact with the camera and it fucks me up . 

ok im done. ty for the ask b it was nice looking back down memory lane

How do you imagine Rin and Haru's reunion in season 3?

I really think that with the way they miss each other right now and with the way they’ve changed so much, Haru being open with people and not hiding his emotions in TYM, even calling Rin (I mean he never calls people) and Rin being determined about what he wants, I really can’t see it being awkward. I see it being like really soft and without pretending you know.

Like remember when Haru was small and he was so happy to see him even tho Rin hasn’t called him or sent any letters. He was smiling anyway, because Rin was here and he didn’t even care about all this pretending he didn’t miss him bullshit. Like look at this fucking bean I cry:

Actually since the shananigans of this season are based on that Rinharu race that started all the angst, and since Haru’s clearly still stuck on this, even the opening says so:

I really want them to parallel their reunion with their first reunion but make it Haru’s happy memory now.

I mean, I imagine them first staring at each other in silence after all this time being apart like the first time:

But this time not because they’re surprised to see each other but because they always take each other breath away and because they fucking wanted to see each other for so long. You know the usual you-are-my-world look:

And I want Haru to say “I’ve really missed you” (because Haru really doesn’t give a fuck, when he misses Rin he says so, remember “You could’ve called” with his adorable blush I’m asdfgfdsa) and Rin’s eyes would probably start to water because.. it’s Rin I mean. Actually if any of them says “I’ve missed you”, I’m gonna die ok. And I want Haru to hug Rin, I really really want it.

Then Haru asking Rin to swim with him and not meaning it like a racing thing but just bc he missed being in the water with him. You can throw cherry blossoms there (is that not gonna be a right season? oh well) But then Rin asking Haru to race him and losing like that time, but instead of crying, saying how much he missed the feeling of swimming with him.

And then when they are home and they come to their senses they’ll start bickering like “You could’ve called” “YOU could’ve called” “I’m not really good at this” “Me neither”

and then somebody “I really wanted to though…”

I don’t care if its cheesy, I want that! Sue me.

But seriously I would really love them to parallel Rin leaving to Australia back then to this one.

They’ve already did this with Haru being upset about Rin leaving in SD because he didn’t know how Rin felt about him vs Haru being happy for Rin going for his dream because he knows that it’s their mutual dream to swim together and Rin’s waiting for him:

(P.S. LOLZ they really didn’t expect to miss each other so much, it hit them like a train. They’re such dorks, they just don’t get it, how much they need each other.)

- Rin not calling or sending letters to Haru in SD and s1… vs somebody calling somebody for example; especially Rin, like make Rin send him a freaking letter like the previous one but actually SEND IT TO HIM;

- Rin visiting Japan but avoiding Haru in s1 vs Rin going to Tokyo to see Haru;

I’ve already discussed this with my friend here, we really think that it would be Rin going to Japan, most likely either for the competition either because it’s just very Rin to pack a bag and go somewhere, when he wants, he always does that.

And while it’s not in Haru’s character to just pack and go somewhere, it would be like twice more meaningful if he visited Rin in Australia, Rin would probably die if he did that okay? That’s why I’ve been doing these gifsets bc I really want that, but I don’t think its gonna happen, really.

No matter how I imagine this, Rin always cries in those scenarious. Always LOL.

hey yall can we talk about Lin Mo ???? 

LOOK AT THAT SIDE PROFILE !! JUST LOOK AT IT !!!!1! HES BEAUTIFUL !!!

my child Lin Mo actually got a good amount of screentime in ep 3 (BLESS!!!!!) and im so so so thankful for every random millisecond that the camera panned over to include him in a wide shot. (maybe im just super sensitive to seeing him / am looking for him in every shot, but I was like “oh! hes there! oh he’s there again! omg there he is again!” the whole ep!! and i have like enough tiny clips to make a gifset! Also the part where his team is discussing their positions, iqiyi left in a bunch of cuts with their group having so much fun and being loud and rowdy and lin mo talking about being a team leader (with slight trashing of the other mr tyger members in the process HHAAHHAHA) and him being super silly and their team chemistry and it just made me so happy to see bc it can be so rare to get screentime on this show, especially as someone who is not already in the top 9. Also !!! his !!! blonde !!! hair !!! in the previews !!!!! HES BEAUTIFUL and hopefully iqiyi appreciates this and continues to allow him some screentime. im so so so excited to see him perform and show off his dancing bc the NAMANANA dance is so perfect for him / his dancing style i think he’ll pull it off super well. I think he took some small steps forward this ep, despite his rank in the theme song eval (OMG THE PART WHEN HE CRIES AT JIA YI RISING TO “A” RANK UGH MY HEART ;;; THIS LEADER LOVES HIS MAKNAE) so yes i will hopefully get to post a lin mo gifset soon bc he had so many great moments (well as great as you can get on a show with 90+ other kids all competing for screentime too..) and also the part when he’s on the phone crying and trying not to let his mom hear him cry.... ahhhh he’s trying to be the responsible son T_T 

so yes, as someone who chose him as my bias rather early (only 2 eps in), despite not knowing anything about him before starting the show,  im definitely proud and have no regrets yet!! jiayou lin mo!!! 

#its 2am and i just finished ep 3 and its random rant time #aka loving lin mo hours :))

spn 5x22, liveblog, collected posts (all 20 of them) or as i like to call it: a very good episode, one of the best, i cried like a baby, but also Dean’s a homophobe again in this one and i don’t care that he just lost Sam, i am coming to collect his kneecaps

God, like I cannot imagine how hard hitting that episode must have been when you like thought it was the series finale. Like it starts out with Carry On My Wayward Son and then you get the background story of the Impala, like I Would Have Been A Crying Mess Immediately!!!

#like I know im gonna cry anyway asdfghj

 Sam sitting on the hood of the impala is always very good

#hes a gay he has to perch!

 Dean realizing that this is Sam’s free will and that he cannot allow or forbid him from doing this, but he can support him whichever road he chooses? You know what that is? Growth!

#god now im emotional about Brothers Feels TM

Cas snoring in the backseat of the Impala

#me trying to not feel sadness about any of this: TFW Roadtrip!!!

 Cas is so awkward and adorable, I LOVE HIM

 Ahhhh Sam just breathing and the demons die. I love my powerful strong badass son!

 Lucifer!Sam folding his hands, just fucking going “You Know I Had To Do It To ‘Em” asdfghj

 I love the entire mirror thing that they use to show possession

#It’s just very seksy of them

 I hate Lucifer so much, but the entire mirror speech is so good

 The reveal that Sam has been surrounded by demons all his life is just the worst

#i am honestly crying now #like theres tears on my cheeks

 Oh awesome! Dean with MORE homophobic slurs

#me in tears: wow this episode is so good I love it so much so far there hasn’t been a single moment that I didn’t love #dean: Listen up you junkless sissy #me already brandishing a knife: I will slaughter you to death #maybe that will give sam the anger to overthrow Lucifer #i think imma make a gifset one of these days and then reach through the screen and just end dean Winchester #like not just his life but his whole existence #with the power of my dyke rage TM I can and will tear him into tiny little atom sized bits and piece and then just spread them out across the universe

 Dean being just the biggest drama queen and interrupting the Show Down Of The Century, radio turned up load, baby purring is still good even if I’m pissed as fuck at him for his homophobic crap

 Hey, Assbutt! Iconic quotes by the gay and happy angel!

#i gotta watch the gag reel again for assbutt mark!

 “No one dicks with Michael but me” has very big sibling energy and as much as I don’t care about the archangels – never did, never will – that’s still very good

 The continuous shot of Lucifer!Sam dragging Dean off the hood and then punching him hard is so good

#i love fight scenes when they are well choreographied!!!

 Why does Dean always choose to use homophobic slurs right before he has immensely heart wrenching scenes? I cannot be angry at him when he says “it’s okay Sammy, I’m here, I’m not gonna leave you” its not possible for me, but I’m still pissed!

 Sam seeing the army man, remembering all the love, his life in the impala, using that to gain strength and then wrestling control back from Lucifer is truly a piece of amazing story telling

#also no im not crying my roommates are just cutting onions in the kitchen im sure of it *sniff*

 Aaand into the cage they go

 I love that Cas is back and stronger than ever before

#ready to save some parts of the day #not looking forward to season 6 & 7 bc they really assassinated his character there ugh

 Anyway, yeah I was right, most of this episode is immensely well structured, meticulously planned through and a treat of a finale.

Except for Dean using homophobic slurs of course.

#forever bitter about that #like yes this is definitely one of my fav episodes #but that really fucked it up for me

#enjoy your retirement with lisa you asshole. be a civilian without kneecaps!!! #collections #spn 5x22 #me: wow this episode is gonna make me cry maybe ill even feel 1 emotion for dean thats not lesbian rage #dean: calls cas a sissy #me brandishing my dyke knife: time to scare 'im real good. scare 'im right in the kidney #but also people regularly use homophobic slurs against cas... which is very gross but.... I Love My Gay Son Who Is In Heaven! #sam liveblogs

Hey, I know you like old movies bc you reblog all the gifsets that make me happy in my heart, but I was wondering if you have any recs for movies to make a person cry? I'm trying to clear out my emotional clutterbox and just have a Day Of Tears, but all the old movies I know are like romcoms and screwballs. Do you love any tearjerkers from the Katherine Hepburn era?

YES MY FRIEND, I CAN HELP. 

However, the only K. Hepburn film that has made me cry is Stage Door. It’s an all around brilliant film despite some flaws (that comes from a dated attitude about policing female sexuality). You get Katherine being Wonderful (as, you know, always), but you also get a dramatic turn from Ginger Rogers and a veeeery young Lucille Ball in a bit part. It’s a film about a female community of artists and it’s their relationships with each other that drives the plot. I really love this film but be warned that there’s a sudden death from suicide (in case that’s a trigger for you). 

But if you are looking to that era for crying, you must go to Bette Davis. She’s your girl for crying. 

I admit to crying for Ms Davis in: 

Dark Victory (VERY patronizing towards women but also suuuuuper pathos; also has them good tropes like “mutual pining” and “fake marriage that’s not fake” etc)

Now, Voyager (SUCH SAD, sad reliance on a chaste version of magical healing penis, but also a really great attention paid to a bond between Bette and a pseudo-adopted-daughter, also features INCREDIBLE quote: “Don’t ask for the moon. We have the stars.” Which. Come talk to me later. You’ll see.)

I also have to admit to loooooving Grand Hotel, a film that does not at all feature Bette Davis OR Katherine Hepburn. It DOES have a crazy amazing cast: Greta Garbo. John Barrymore. Joan Crawford. Everybody absolutely killing it. It’s one of those “slice of life” types of films where there’s as much romance as tragedy as comedy. 

But for films I cry at every single goddamn time I watch them? Casablanca. You knew I was going to say that, right? Everybody cries at Casablanca. 

And one I haven’t ever seen but I hear is a big ol’tearjerker is Ever in My Heart. Barbara Stanwyck stars and she is perfect in everything she does. Set in WWI and is about Barbara marrying a German guy who then returns to Germany to fight for his people when the war starts. She is on the American side in Europe and they re-encounter each other. It goes badly. Very sad, was once warned not to watch this film by my sister because she cried too hard. 

#when you are done #and you have cried all your tears #watch Ninotchka #Garbo laughs! #if Garbo can laugh so can we all #i wish you well on your voyage of tears #elucreh

graphic design is my passion actually the last time i made a graphic of any kind was when i was like 10 and i have sadly Not magically improved since then rip;; also dont worry the comic sans is ironic im not that awful......or am i 

hey there angels (instead of demons bc ur not demons ur all angels get it haha), it’s me, ya maknae! this is a very looooooong post so buckle in, my pals

AHEM 

exactly this time last year, i was probably laughing and/or crying at the thought of ever having mutuals here, much less having too many to do a proper follow forever in a rush the day before i post it (rip) so becAUSE i ran out of time and would probably give up in the middle, i decided to just talk abt how much i love everyone in the Stream Team gc and also make a shitty graphic so i could bless ur guys’ new years with ot13 and make it seem like i know what i’m doing :) 

ok im gonna get sappy for a sec and then u can all get to the part u actually care about (the part that’s also sappy but directed at specific people) 

my friends!! my loves!!! the bestest people on the planet!!!!! i love you <3<3 you guys are the sweetest, kindest, most understanding, most hilarious group of friends in the world and i’m so fucking lucky to know all of you. you make me laugh,,you make me cry (in a good way),,,,,you make me like myself when i dont feel like it,,,,im so?? blessed??? to have people to talk to and scream abt kpop with and be myself around. i’m more comfortable with u guys than probably anyone else?? like. even irl because 1) i’ll probably never come out, 2) none of my friends know anything abt kpop, and 3) none of my friends are rlly.....aware of the things my brain tells me about myself sometimes. which brings me to the last thing before i start yelling abt u all in alphabetical order: 

thank you guys for being the Good Brains to help out when my Mean Brain gets too mean. 

💙 

@byungjoo

[edwardamcullen]

*slides 50 cents* Relate the Reputation songs to Twilight please.

are you…ready for it? :D i’m really excited to do this tbhReady For It

:D ok so i think we’ve all discussed that this is most definitely bella in her honeymoon when she was trying to fuck and edward was …reluctant. “in the middle in the night in my dreams you should see the things we do baby” and just the fact that she says “island breeze” reminds me of isle esme

End Game

i guess rather than discussing specific lyrics we can apply the concept of wanting to be IT and the one and literal endgame…to any of the canon relationships…actually “For all your beautiful traits and the way you do it with ease. For all my flaws, paranoia and insecurities” in Ed’s rap could be Edward. :D

I Did Something Bad 

AHH :D i really relate this to Rosalie. “I can feel the flames on my skin, crimson red paint on my lips, if a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing, I don’t regret it one bit, ‘cause he had it coming. They say I did something bad, then why’s it feel so good? They say I did something bad, but why’s it feel so good?Most fun I ever had, and I’d do it over and over and over again if I could” is SOOOO rosalie after murdering her abusers :D i’m proud of rosalie :D she did tHAT

 Don’t Blame Me

I’m thinking of Victoria actually…I know Taylor’s love is like purer than Victoria’s and James’ relationship but I just feel like Victoria’s rampage to avenge James’ death relates to “For you, I would cross the line, I would waste my time, I would lose my mind. They say, “She’s gone too far this time” Don’t blame me, your love made me crazy if it doesn’t, you ain’t doing it right”

Delicate

:D :D :D I LITERALLY CRIED IN MY CAR AFTER THINKING ABOUT THIS….this is Edward in Midnight Sun 100%. “my reputation’s never been worse so you must like me for me” is Edward hating himself bc you know monster…and being like wow you must..really like me….if i am…what i am…and then “is it cool that i said all that? is it chill that you’re in my head? cause i know that it’s delicate. is it too soon to do this yet?” is just really him anytime he feels anything and has no idea what he’s doing at the start of their relationship. ALSO ALSO ALSOOOOOOOOOOOOO the main part. The fucking bridge. “Sometimes I wonder when you sleep, are you ever dreaming of me? Sometimes when i look into your eyes, I pretend you’re mine all the damn time.” is so Edward i want to cry i can’t wait to start doing my twilightxtaylor gifsets again

Look What You Made Me Do

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and the furthest i went was just victoria like i had a plan of doing a LWYMMD gifset and just doing the chorus along with every single thing victoria does and like the newborn amy. but also of course there’s that one edit that compares Rosalie to “i’m sorry the old rosalie…” which was…amazing..that one was a good one. Also “I’ll be the actress starring in your bad dreams” is rose in royce’s nightmares and victoria in bella’s.

So It Goes..

I DONT KNOW LMAO. Actually…”'Cause we break down a little but when you get me alone, it’s so simple. Cause baby, I know what you know we can feel it. and our pieces fall right into place” could be anytime they miss each other and this could be ExB when they’re apart but idk why i’m also thinking about Jasper and Alice when Alice went to Volterra and they were apart. Gorgeous

this song is so ..cute…lol. like it’s just taylor having the biggest heart eyes for a guy and i guess that could go anyway with Twilight. Bella did curse Edward for his beauty and hated him for being so gorgeous :D

Getaway Car

damn…..bella x jacob. jacob WAS a rebound kinda even if it was never romantic but just “i wanted to leave him i needed a reason” isn’t exactly bella wanting to leave edward but wanting to get rid of the pain and she did that when running to Jacob. and then the whole “You were drivin’ the getaway car we were flyin’, but we’d never get far don’t pretend it’s such a mystery think about the place where you first met me" because obviously Bella obviously never wanted to get into It like that with Jacob it’s she was just …trying to ease her pain you know?

King Of My Heart

King of my heart’s concept is just finding the one. “and all at once you are the one I have been waiting for” can be about any of them finding their s.o. “Is this the end of all the endings my broken bones are mending” could be any of the after eeeeverything they’ve been through and finally finding /the one/. “I made up my mind I’m better off being alone” at the beginning could probably be Edward though. but the entire concept of finding the one is any of them. Idk why i’m thinking about jasper and alice specifically with “i have been waiting for”

Dancing With Our Hands Tied

This song is really about Taylor’s anxiety when everyone found out about her new relationship and was scared that they weren’t gonna be able to take the pressure of all the media soooooo idk. The concept of fearing for the fate of their relationship is ExB and the whole “oh cause it’s gravity keeping you with me” is them and just…idk…you get me lol bc Taylor with her bf don’t WANT to end it but will “dance through an avalanche” and just make it as far as they can bc it’s not like they plan on backing down any time soon and they’re just gonna face the risks and go in with their hearts. 

Dress

alsdkalkja this is about sex and “wore this dress so you can take it off” so I’m thinking about bd pt 1 when bella showed up in her lingerie and edward growled into his pillow alkjdal i’m sure all of it can fit to any of them it’s not like the couples haven’t had sex and don’t do this 

 This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

friend. i don’t know. anything i come up with would be such a reach 0: but if you wanna go the funny route “This is why we can’t have nice things, darling. Because you break them I had to take them away” is Edward to Jasper when he almost killed her. that’s it and i don’t even mean that seriously bc this song is about having a lot of friends and it being really good and them backstabbing you so. idk lmao.

Call It What You Want:( call it what you want is him getting rid of taylor’s fears and knowing that whatever people say about them they know they’re good together and that they’re Solid and In Love but i guess i really can’t say much when it comes to specifics bc the lyrics in here are really specific to taylor and her rep so..i don’t know…………………. :0 the concept of not caring and just them loving each other though reminds me of bxe when they were engaged and married and telling everyone 

New Years Day

ok like i keep saying taylor really does get specific like this song is about waking up on new years day and spending not just the midnight of NYE and the celebration together but waking up together and staying with each other through all of it so. deeper in concept with the song i guess. is just them being in love lmao and knowing they’ll be together through it all

the end. my favorite relation was Delicate and i’m still very emo about it.
