it’s funny to have the line “say it once again with feeling” in a breakup song about an actor i’m sorry

Los Angeles!!! Pay attention!!!🚨🚨🚨Do your research. VOTE TRUE BLUE. Remember Rick Caruso? We didn’t let him get away with it. Don’t let anybody else.

Buck taking grainy, zoomed-in pictures of every single helicopter he sees and sending them to Tommy like “dis u babe? 🥰”

[tlblah]

once buck comes out and settles into a relationship with tommy i’m sure they’re inevitably going to hang out with eddie at some point and i’m lowkey curious about which one of them will feel like the third wheel because somehow all three of them fit the bill for that

in peter, taylor spends the song talking about how she thought if she would just wait, the goddess of timing would fix things up and their time would come. he would grow up and come back to her, he would keep his promise of dealing with his shit and being there for her. in so much of her previous work, she talks about how he knew her so well, and now she is wondering if he can still read her. he was high above everything and could see the whole forest (her and her life) for what it was, but now he is so far high above that he can’t see it (her and their relationship) anymore while she’s still in the thick of it alone. they’re in the same difficult time, but their minds are working differently. same page, but on different lines.

she sings how she was fine with letting the lamp burn and waiting, she didn’t wanna come down, she kept her hope up, and she was okay with him being absent because she thought they’d gain perspective when he came back and it would’ve made their love better and it’d be worth it. but then she just realized that she doesn’t want that. she doesn’t wanna be betty, waiting 20 years of her life, thinking if he’ll ever be there. she wants more and she wants better. in their time together, he never grew up, so now she’s turning out the light and leaving.

finally decided to sit down and watch the incredibles again. there will be no commentary because i’m gonna be too busy watching it

“David, who carries the trauma of an emotionally unavailable family and a string of bad relationships, is hesitant to reveal too much of himself, preferring to present a curated image. Reassuring her skittish son, Moira tells him, ’[Patrick] sees you. For all that you are.’ So when David needs to extend an olive branch to Patrick, the clearest way to tell his boyfriend how much he trusts him is to make a public spectacle of himself — to let himself be seen.”

The real reason she released a whole ass double album of 31 songs is so she never has to play Mary's song live, in this essay-

It’s driving me crazy how people like can’t seem to comprehend that Taylor was experiencing a mental health crisis!!!! She lays it right out in the poem!! It was mania!!

the entire album is about this. like people keep talking about a joe album or a matty album and the answer is (c) neither of the above. it’s an album about mental health, what drives someone to the brink, what happens when you get there. that doesn’t mean the muses and the gossip are uninteresting. but they’re sort of sitting in the backseat of this story.

[tlblah]

I did not expect I Can Do It With A Broken Heart to be that unhinged but I give Taylor props for being completely and totally honest with us. We know, baby. We know.

Buck coming out to Maddie is legitimately SO funny because she's sitting there trying to figure out if he's dating a serial killer or having an affair with a married woman or what and then he slips up with the pronouns and she's like OH OKAY PIVOT PIVOT BE SO SUPPORTIVE AND COOL ABOUT THIS and then he says things like "I'm an ally" and "I mean, who doesn't like checking out a man's ass, that's normal" and she's stuck because...oh...honey...what?????????

[tlblah]

well
