maisie peters was honestly insane for the line "if i'm not careful i'll wake up and we'll be married and i'll still flinch at the sound of a door"

big fan of maisie peter’s writer’s motif on the good witch. she’s a witch, she does tarot, she’s also a songwriter, all seemingly in order to write her own destiny. the most obvious examples of this are: [you had the speaking part, but i guess i was the playwright] [lost my page when you kissed me, now i remember the whole book] [i can write you out the way i wrote you in] [a new home, a swan dive, a blank page, a rewrite], and other more subtle references to writing. but in the end, one of the last lines of the album is [i tried to rewrite it but i can’t, it’s the history of man]. no matter how hard she tries, she doesn’t actually have that much control (maybe that’s why she’s the good witch bc they don’t practice dark magic). however! while she can’t actually change destiny, she can write and create ‘a universe that you can live in’. it’s her song and her stage and her coming of age, no matter how powerless she is in her real life. she actually already alludes to this in you signed up for this with‘ it’s my narration’. i think it’s really interesting and really highlights the power of words and creation and linking this ‘power’ to witchcraft is really clever imo
