trademark that shit immediately. “taylor swift™ — official creator of the possessed cat moise™.” i’d put it on a shirt, wear it to the oscars, hiss at paparazzi. we’re building a legacy here. you mean turtles all the way down? ninja turtles, i... taylor. and “taylorpatch kid”? i’m putting that on a leather jacket. that���s it. that’s the album name. you are the walking, glitter-soaked child of revenge and sparkle. edward cullen wishes he sparkled with your level of commitment. NO SPOILERS, I PROMISE — i don’t want to be alley-cat-jumped in a target parking lot later. glitter bombs first, yes — it’s the distraction. the beauty. the razzle dazzle. then... we strike with the hexes. a soft curse. just enough to make their spotify shuffle mysteriously skip all the good songs. just enough to confuse their coffee orders.

Should I just trademark it? Possessed cat noise next to my name would be an honor. Let's fucking go. No you wouldn't. You're used to action films. Weren't you in Turtles? Those ninja turtles taught you some shit, Isabela. Don't even lie to me. The closest I've ever been to bad assery -- was probably my Bad Blood music video. I got to play with knives! Call me Taylorpatch kid. Chaotic... then sweet. I feel like I'm permanently stained in glitter from the Eras tour and I couldn't be happier. I'm like Edward fucking Cullen, baby. Yes, him! Wait... is this a spoiler? Staaaaph, I'm covering my ears! Glitter bombs... then we ease them into the witchy hexes.

Damn, someone is sassy.

i wish i could bottle up your words and keep them with me forever. like a little emotional emergency kit that says “open when self-doubt creeps in.” you’ve got so much heart, and it’s so obvious how much this role means to you. that’s what’s going to make it special. people are going to feel that love, that fire, that truth, and it’s going to move them. that pressure you’re feeling? it’s just the weight of a star about to be born on an even bigger scale. and baby, you are so ready for it. you’re not going to screw anything up—you’re going to elevate the entire project. that quiet strength, your thoughtful presence, the way you hold so much emotion in just a look? that’s your superpower. it’s undeniable. you don’t need to try to steal scenes—you just show up, and suddenly, no one can look away. and please, if i ever command a screen, it’s only because i’ve had people like you pouring belief into me when i couldn’t find it myself. we lift each other. always. i’m not just your biggest fan—i’m your loudest cheerleader, your backstage hype girl, and your “you better answer this facetime” friend.

stop it— you are gonna make me cry. i'm a big baby these days. that means so much to me. i have been going crazy over this role since i was told it was mine. i don't want to screw it up, and i know people are going to be watching me on a much larger scale now, and it's quite intimidating. they are both so fantastic, but your personality just consumes the screen and you command the attention from the viewers. that is such a rare gift to have in this business, and baby you have it all. ugh— you are going to make me cry again. i'm always going to be here to support you.

[iscbela]

or don’t, dude. do what you gotta do.

Now, why do I need to hurry and move fast?

[iscbela]

clock’s ticking, luke—if you’re gonna make me smile that wide, you better move fast.

I mean If you want cute I will be cute. I will make you smile so wide that you can't say no.

[iscbela]

insufferable? that’s rich coming from you, miss ‘terrifyingly cute’ expert. you’re lucky i adore you. and don’t expose me like that! i’m supposed to keep up the illusion that i’m a menace (which... i am, sometimes... if the lighting’s dramatic enough and you squint). and yeah, it's a fact — la and leicestershire are not remotely ready for the absolute chaos and fabulousness we’re gonna unleash.

oh my god, you're insufferable. i know you know you're fabulous, it's basically written in bright neon on your forehead wherever you go. la and leicestershire won't know what's coming. no flaws in our logic, it's perfect. a more accurate description of your lethal eyebrow game would be terrifyingly cute. if we were back in the early stages of knowing each other, it'd just be terrifying, but unluckily for you, i know by now you don't bite.

[iscbela]

i’m telling you, when our final form arrives, the world won’t know what hit it. celestial loyalty might’ve sounded like a one time thing, but after everything we’ve discussed, it’s just too fitting for us. i’m absolutely here for all that cosmic energy—pluto’s my og, but i’ve got love for the whole zodiac universe. what’s something you’re passionate about? and you’ve got me pegged—dramatics are my love language. whether i’m in front of a camera or in conversation, if i’m not making the scene unforgettable, i’m not doing it right. it’s an art form, honestly. and trust, you’re speaking my language. my place, whenever you want to.

literally have chills right now. the final form is about to be something no one's ready for but damn, will the spend an eternity thanking us for it. 'celestial loyalty' is a phrase i can honestly say i never thought i'd hear. are you into all that? or is this just a one off love for pluto only? no, trust me - i think you're being completely serious. i'm catching on real quick that dramatics basically is your middle name and i'm here for it. i really am.. for a bit, too. i don't really think there's a thing in this world stopping us. all you have to do is say when and where and we can have ourselves an 'it's on' moment.

[iscbela]

if you want me to be your date, you're gonna have to step it up a bit and be cuter than that, dude.

Yeah, I got some friends who work for bands like Bad Omens and State Champs who want me to come out and hang out. Other than that I will be going to see Lilo and Stitch opening night. Maybe you can be my date for that.

[iscbela]

in my dreams? sure, keep telling yourself that. you know what? so you think i'm fabulous? tell me more. i can totally picture it now— me ruling leicestershire, you by my side, both of us hopping between countries with the most elite codependent friendship ever. we’d have our own animal kingdom, and the world would have no choice but to bow to us. maybe it's a blessing you’re not here for it because trust me, it’s not as cute as i make it look on screen. but it’s better when you’re within range for a proper dramatic glare.

what, no, that's not.. in your dreams. the mental image of you becoming the queen of leicestershire is everything i didn't know i needed. i can see it so clearly, you taking charge with ease and ruling the people, adopting the animals all the while being as fabulous as ever. though i guess the easiest solution to our future problem is to increase our codependent friendship to the highest level and with our very rare spare time hop between two countries with you leading and me as your most loyal follower— best of both worlds. it was difficult to refrain, but being on the receiving end of your eyebrow of death isn't as fun when i’m not in the same room.

[iscbela]

damn, are you flirting with me now? you are dangerously powerful and you know it. yes, the thought of you living here is as wild as me becoming queen of leicestershire. which honestly... maybe someday? shimmer was giving what we could never: elegance, patience, and literal icon behavior. we totally got upstaged and i’m proud of it. hope she got her bag and a spa day. and thank you for sparing me the full-name hyphen attack because you know that would’ve triggered the eyebrow of doom. you’re evil. i love it. never change.

tempting, and also evil, because you know the word no leaves my vocabulary when it comes to you. the idea of me living in america is like you, vibing in leicestershire. you are the only critic i wanna hear from, isa, because no one gets our girl shimmer like you do. she's the moment, like the dedication and focus she brings to the table and the gracefulness that we lack. did we get upstaged by a horse? i hope she got that bag ( of carrots ). be grateful i didn't hyphen it, even though i wanted to full name you just to imagine that eyebrow twitchy thing you do when you’re pissed.

[iscbela]

i’m going to start a list of why you should move to los angeles, just you wait. if we were together, we’d be unstoppable — dogs relaxed, nails intact, world saved (or not), tears, a lot of tears. end of episode thoughts: 1) you smashed it too, like seriously, how are you real? 2) shimmer is an icon. i’m starting a petition for her emmy nom immediately. 3) did you just call me moner? at least it wasn't yolanda, progress.

i knew it! if only you weren't oceans away, i could've saved your dogs from your adorable intense yapping and you could have saved my nails from my excessive biting. so, end of episode thoughts... you smashed it, as per and i really miss the horse that played shimmer. she was such a natural on screen, and totally deserves an emmy nom. yeah? you're not so bad yourself, moner.

[iscbela]

you know what? you just read me like a book. literally sitting here in my cutest pjs, my dogs judging me while i talk to them like they’re gonna give me a pep talk. you didn’t destroy our friendship, you leveled up. and no, it’s not weird — it’s actually the best thing ever. you’re cute, ramsey.

okay.. i can’t even deny it, that's exactly what I'm doing right now, just like i know you are doing the exact same thing, but the only difference is you’re sitting on your sofa with your dogs, anxiously talking a mile a minute to fill the time and in fashionable pjs. am i close— or did i fail and destroy our friendship? also, is it weird that i'm comforted by you knowing me so well? maybe don’t answer that.

[iscbela]

no because you’re literally reading my mind — possessed cat noise is exactly the perfect name. someone get merriam-webster on the phone, it needs to be official. honestly? you're right. they probably wouldn’t trust us with real machetes and that’s fair. i would 100% be bambi on ice too — just slipping, spinning, accidentally taking out a light rig and three extras while yelling "i’m sorry" in slow motion. also, your mouth is allowed to be a little chaotic — that’s where the magic lives. the chaotic + the sweet? that's the best combo. that's main character energy, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. and yes, standing in the corner plotting world domination gives such reputation-core energy. snake rings, dark lipstick, secret plans, a little bit of vengeance, a lot of glitter. god, yes, we exclude protector of the dolls and joel’s brother, you mean gabriel luna? — they're honorary members of our villain origin story. everybody else? fair game. do we start with glitter bombs or full blown witchy hexes?

I love that you know exactly the sound I'm talking about. We can call it... the possessed cat noise... because that's honestly what it sounds like. A prop machete? A prop? They wouldn't trust me with a real one? Valid as fuck. I'd be swinging that thang around like nobodies business. Watch out! Bambi on ice coming through! It can be kind of stupid though. All the nice things, make up for the stupid things, I guess. Standing in the corner is totally my vibe right now. Just watching... observing... taking it all in. Plotting against world domination? Let's fucking do it. That's the kind of Reputation vibes I need right now. Maybe plotting against men, excluding protector of the dolls and the gentleman that plays Joel's brother because I love him? What do you think?

[iscbela]

sooo… be honest, are you already in front of the TV, shaking your legs and biting your nails? i see you, bella. i know how you act all the time. is that weird? @mayrams

[iscbela]

not the "angelic wings and sunset" visual—now i’m picturing you just slow-mo flying away in full wicked glam and it’s everything. yes, you’re totally right! the last of us started as a game (like a legendary one) and then they turned it into a show. i’m joining for season 2 and it’s honestly kinda surreal because, like you, i barely knew anything about gaming at first either. but now i’m deep in it—traumatized but thriving is the vibe. also, can we talk about how iconic it is that you’re a fortnite skin? like hello? i can’t even get through mario kart without crashing into a wall and you’re out here living in the digital multiverse. queen behavior only. would you ever wanna do voice work for a game or animation?

same here – i’m completely obsessed with lana, so if i can even catch a tiny bit of her poetic magic, you bet i’m going to spread my angelic wings and float off into the sunset. yeah, i get it. i’ve had my own ‘recalibration’ journey, switching between positions and the chaos of eternal sunshine—about four years apart, to be specific. you’re in the last of us, right? i literally know nothing about video games except for the fact that i’m a fortnite skin, so i assume that’s based on a game... right? or am i completely off base?

[iscbela]

it’s good to know it’s not just me too. between lili, jack, you, and everyone else, we’re all just running around chasing our dreams and forgetting what time zone we’re even in. but hey, that’s the blessing and the curse, right? and yes, if i’m in london for anything, you better believe i’m hitting you up. we’re getting coffee, tea, a night out—whatever you want. i miss being around people who just get it, you know? and i love that you send virtual hugs, that’s literally the cutest thing ever. i’m sending you one right back right now. thank you. that means more than you know. and i’m just as proud of you—like, seriously watching you thrive, even from a distance, is so inspiring.

I am glad I am not the only one, the only ones I have really talked to are Lili and Jack which is once in a blue moon cause we all have been busy with different projects. If you are ever here in London for promotion, let me know, maybe we can get together. I am just so proud of every, single, person working on this movie cause they really are giving their all for the rest of the cast and crew showing them how thankful they are to be apart of it all. Sending them a virtual hug, that is what I always do when I think it is needed. I am so proud of you though, I hope you know that.
