1989 helped me navigate life after college, and I will never forget the memories it brought. Crying to All You Had to Do Was Stay when I got dumped, dancing to Shake it Off with my sister, singing along to Style on the way to a girl's camping trip, and even decorating our Christmas tree with the Polaroids from the album. It's the album that made me a Swiftie

Join me in reviewing Olivia Rodrigo's album GUTS. I've waited years for this!!

all-american bitch - 9/10, big fan. I love it when she screams because the world is unfair. same girl, same

bad idea right? - 10/10. I know this one is controversial but I LOVE her more punky songs, I think that's when she's best

vampire - 10/10. I'm not always a fan of piano ballads, but the bridge and outro really make it for me. The hurt turning into anger and despair is just so cathartic. And the video is one of my faves of all time

lacy - 1000/10. What the hell. Did not expect to feel this much emotion from that title. Uhhh... yeah, same. I super relate to that. Whether or not lacy is supposed to be a real person or a manifestation of the beauty standard, this hits. Also, idk if I'm making this up but I dig the romantic undertones, they sell it

ballad of a homeschooled girl - "I made it weird, I made it worse"/10. OLIVIA HOW DID YOU KNOW that I lie awake thinking about all the weird things I did and said, Olivia, did you write this for me specifically??? Every day I am alive IS social suicide. I'm sorry, this is my song, actually. "Can't think of a third line", she's so real

making the bed - "I'm playing the victim so well in my head"/10. How. Does. She. Do. It? I could write an entire essay about this song. Maybe THIS is my song?? She's so good at saying exactly how I feel. I already know that this song will play a million times on my phone. Also I love the drivers license references. Big fan of the making the bed metaphor

logical - 9/10. favourite crime vibes. She's good with these songs about bad relationships. Used to be my favourite thing she did, but now I'm more invested in the songs that are about her/other experiences. That being said this song is really fucking good. This is the Olivia I fell in love with and she's still amazing at doing piano ballads

get him back! - 9/10. Olivia having ANOTHER song with speak-singing where she wants to get back with her ex?? Yes, PLEASE. Bad idea right 2.0. Fucking obsessed

love is embarrassing - 10/10. I said it before I'll say it again, angry Olivia is the best. And she's right, love IS embarrassing as hell

the grudges - 10/10. She does the paino ballads SO WELL. I think this is my favourite one on here. Because, wow, yeah, that is how it is

pretty isn't pretty - i can't rate this/10. GOD, I love it when she talks about insecurities. And don't think I don't see that skipping lunch line. It's sp hard to articulate how this song makes me feel. Especially since I've been low key comparing myself to her, even though we have entirely different bodies and faces. It's nice to know she also struggles with this. And she's right, you could do literally anything to change your appearance and you'd still be unhappy

teenage dream - 100000/10. "Is it recording? Of course it is.", the way I gasped. Okay, I love the interpretation of it ending with a child to be about growing up and childhood innocence. But the line she says?? Especially combined with the meaning of the song it feels a lot like it's about taking away youth by recording it and putting it out there just like she was supposed to be everyone's teenage dream as a child actor and young musician. This feels so personal to her while also being relatable to others. I'm 19 too, Olivia and I are born in the same year. And this is exactly how I feel about growing up. I hope it gets better, my teenage years were crap, I'm tired of being young, but it's also the only thing I can hold onto. I'm honestly terrified of turning 20. But hey, Olivia did it, so... it'll get better, right?

I really need to analyze why I just allow catra to get away with being an abusive ass. Like.... she really does choose to hurt people, and that's not okay.

(Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 3, Episode 12 “The Western Air Temple”)

(She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Season 5, Episode 6 “Taking Control”)

Just because I’m really tired of people comparing Zuko and Catra:

The above picture is Zuko, reacting to Team Avatar rejecting him by humbly requesting to be their prisoner, if not their friend, because he understands that he’s caused them a lot of harm, both physically and emotionally and he has no right to be angry with them for rejecting him.

The two pictures below are Catra acting like her usual casually cruel self when Adora, who one episode prior has risked everything to save her from an intergalactic mass murderer and tyrant, checks on her to see if she’s well.

Zuko accepts that he was the one in the wrong and that his tragic past and his own hardships aren’t excuses for his terrible actions towards the protagonists.He actively tries to do better, he keeps himself from lashing out like it looked like he was about to, because he knows this is probably the reaction he deserves.

Catra, despite claiming to be “sorry for everything” a few episodes prior in “Corridors”, still believes she can treat Adora like garbage whenever she’s down in the dumps herself. Paying lip-service to regretting her past actions was easy when she thought she was going to get killed or worse, but now that the danger has (for the moment) passed, it’s right back to the basics again.

Zuko genuinely regrets what he did.

Catra says she regrets what she did, but makes no effort to put her money where her mouth is, at least until it looks like her former victim might just finally get fed up with her and leave her for good.

I'm rewatching the series and I love these two so much 🥺 also Catra's voice just gets me
