i can't believe people honestly think taylor swift was 100% literal, sincere, and honest when she wrote & sang the lyric "the curse on me was broken by your magic wand". like. this is a siren call for satire. LIKE REALLY YOU THINK SHE REALLY MEANS THAT

agreed. we're in moral panic phase & everyone is eager to prove they're right, why they're right, & that they were the first to say it. since the social contract has been broken, people are fighting tooth & nail trying to find their own personal value system without a guide.

reddit went from being a "safe" social media for me to being one i can't even read bc the lack of nuance in comments about literally every single topic.

i'm going to curse whoever decided to make me neurodiverse and give me curly hair that's more unpredictable than the lottery. i have never known peace and never will.

This love is pure profit

“When you have a business relationship with someone for 15 years, there are going to be a lot of ups and a lot of downs. But I truly, legitimately thought he looked at me as the daughter he never had. And so even though we had a lot of really bad times and creative differences, I was going to hang my hat on the good stuff. I wanted to be friends with him. I thought I knew what betrayal felt like, but this stuff that happened with him was a redefinition of betrayal for me, just because it felt like it was family. To go from feeling like you’re being looked at as a daughter to this grotesque feeling of “Oh, I was actually his prized calf that he was fattening up to sell to the slaughterhouse that would pay the most.”

yk i hope she does have burners everywhere under aliases harder to crack than a zodiac cypher bc she is, at heart, a chronically online millenial & it would be so depressing if she was deprived of that part of herself. like girl, i saw your tumblr. your tweets. online habits like that don't die 🤣

my natal chart in placidus is lowkey so annoying bc my sun is at 10°55' and my 11th house starts at 10°59' so techniCALLY my sun is in my 10th house but like so barely its not even funny. that's why in whole sign my sun is in the 12th, with the rest of my libra placements 🫠

a sonnet is 14 lines. a shakespearean sonnet specifically is three quatrains & a couplet. 12 lines in a specific identifiable rhyme scheme followed by two lines that rhyme. are the 12 tracks of TLOAS the first 3 quatrains of her sonnet and we're waiting for the final couplet?

she's nothing if not a shakespeare nerd

my wife & i were reading a scene from hamlet that taylor quotes in TFOO & the hamlet of it all feels more important than just being inspo for the 1st song. bc who else if not shakespeare could be considered one of the OG tortured poets?
