It's turning 10 this year and I feel old

My love of music started with Sabrina Carpenter...

I didn't grow up with Taylor however Sabrina Carpenter was such a prominent person in my youth. My big sister used to play her albums, such as Eyes Wide Open and EVOLUTION were on repeat. She was 11 at the time, and had gotten into the routine of playing Sabrina every morning which I remember, my younger self despised. "I will never like Sabrina Carpenter" I remember vividly thinking. However despite my petty self, I fell in love with her music and her voice. Girl Meets World was one of my favorite shows growing up, having long memories off watching it after my bedtime. Almost Love was, I think, one of my own first Sabrina memory. I remember trying to copy her dancing, and still to this day I remember them. I have this very ancient memory of using this song in my 13 years of age not at all understanding what it meant (now I'm older I have a way better understanding). Singular Act 1 was the first album I was obsessed with (but more on that in a second). Eyes Wide Open just reminds me of being 13. Specifically Can't Blame A Girl For Trying, I have so many memories of listening to that song and knowing that song was my very first favorite song. I listen now, and realize how truly innocent this song specifically the lyric "even if I always end up crying..." I cried about the boy I associate this album with. I remember sobbing. I remember listening to Too Young and convincing myself I was not too young. I remember listening to the Middle Of Starting Over in my first year of middle school. I remember really relating to the idea doing something right this time which in my 13 year old self mind was moving out of her childhood room tuning into the room that soon would be the place I sought out comfort for. I have memories of listening to White Flag, and feeling sorta giggling and giving up. I have an odd memory of looking out o the car, as I was being driven home, and this song (specifically a lyric video because I didn't know what Spotify was) was playing and Too Young played too Best Thing I Got reminds me of him, the stupid boy I still see. Actually hearing this song for the first time in years I forgot that A) it reminds me so much of Christmas music B) how relatable I found these lyrics. This sounds like my 7th grade English class where I would stare longingly at that stupid boy. Your Love's Like was one of my favorites, I remember. "I just need a little taste of you and I" I remember his eyes were, and still are such a prominent memory I have. "It's like Paris after midnight," was my favorite lyric because I had always wanted to go to Paris. I now have spent a week in Paris and I just want to hug my younger self. I haven't heard Seamless in years. I used to listen to it so often and remember my former best friend. She and I grew up together, and because of her distancing herself back when we were a little younger, this blog was created. I remember not being able to listen to this song when we stopped being friends, and how it was on repeat when I felt like I was losing her. Looking back I was just a tad bit dramatic, but still hearing Seamless's first lyric that is "good morning" remembering how we had Chorus first period. We sat next to each other, and I remember getting jealous that she was making new friends in that class. I remember seeing Girls Meets World with her and we both loved it. I was Riley, and she was Maya. She had a rough childhood with only her single mom and her two older siblings, and so I remember her really resonating with Maya. We're no longer friends, however I still post about her, my Dorothea. Too Young is something I also still post about, and yeah I was too young. My girlhood felt stolen, however I stole it back. I love Sabrina to this day, and she is as familiar as the scratches of my 13 year old self's diary.

EVOLUTION YOUR NEXT...AND YOUR A GOOD ONE

i'm still trying to piece together the truth of it. when you left, you said: feel free to spin this narrative however you want. i have no idea if you were being cruel or if you just genuinely don't remember what you've done to me.

it's hard because i'd done so much of the work for you. i had seen the parts that flaked off, the rust underneath. i started separating you into two people - the one i loved, and the one who hurt me. i had this fantasy version of you - my partner - and then i had this stranger, a third person who would show up randomly to shatter me. i am deliriously glad i'm no longer with "the stranger". i miss the gentle (unreal?) "other" you terribly.

at first, i was so strict about my boundaries. i remember telling you to get the fuck out of my house if you were going to talk to me like that. by the end: i would justify your behavior for you, accepting even your mistreatment as "my fault" in the grand scheme. i look back on the person i was before you - smart, independent, confident - and i feel a strange sense of detachment. i don't even recognize me.

even in one of our last conversations, you said: if you want a partner that always talks warmly to you, find someone else. there was a time that a comment like that would have made me leave. and instead, somehow, i just placidly accepted that kind of thing. you were literally telling me that i wasn't allowed to have a reaction to your cruelty - and i just took it, because you'd so fully turned things around on me.

when people are faced with irrationality, a rational brain tries to make sense of it. this is the trap. they're lovely in the morning, gentle and blue-eyed and sweet. like nothing even happened, they breeze around the house and kiss you on the mouth. but at night; who is that? they snap almost randomly; flying into an impotent rage about just-about-anything. it just doesn't make sense. so the problem must be me, and my brain, and how i think.

the traumatized brain just wants peace. so maybe i'm misremembering. maybe you were just having a bad day. maybe it's actually me.

you eventually would fully turn on me and start implying that i am the bad actor in our relationship. that's what happens, right? that's literally in the playbook. you went to therapy for all of a month, told her a half-truth, co-opted therapyspeak. you figured out how to reframe your actions as "seeking peace." any time i stood my ground, i was "gaslighting." when i asked you to be more gentle, you said i was "tone policing." you said, randomly, i had emotionally manipulated you - i still have no idea what that's even specifically referring to. maybe my consistent requests for calmness and empathy?

and while i literally know better, and i'm sitting here, trained by you, thinking: wait, fuck. was i actually the person you made me out to be?

and the thing that scares me is that i literally do not know if you ever actually saw what you were doing to me. when you'd tell me how you remember arguments, you'd always summarize them in a way where you come off as gentle and easy: "i was trying to set an important boundary." what had actually happened was 15 minutes of you shouting at me i know you did something shady, just admit it already. eventually you'd say my reaction to your shouting (when i finally reacted, which usually happened around hour three) was inevitably "disappointing" and "another way i'm silencing your feelings."

how many times did i ask you - beg you - to just take accountability? looking back, i don't think i ever heard you say: you're right. the way i talked to you was wrong of me.

i am trying to tie together the two people into a full version of you in my head. yes, you made my coffee and made me laugh and spent hours on the phone with me. and yes - you would scream at me until i had to run away and hide behind something.

i wish i did have a narrative i could pull out and shape to my whim. i wish i did have some semblance of reality. instead i just stand here, strange and vibrating, wondering: what the fuck just happened?

she'd been working up the courage for months to break the surface tension between them, but suddenly dylan wasn't so sure it'd been her brightest idea. "oh, i'm just—" well... it would've been easier to answer her if she'd actually known what she was doing. "no! i mean, i thought it might work. and you keep telling me i need to take risks!!" though now she mostly wished she could dig herself a hole six feet under. "okay, rude. i think you're underestimating my skills, but i can take a hint."

open to: w or nb, 21+

plot: your muse has worked for kris in the past (or wants to work with her) and there’s tension. she’s a famous director and/or producer, maybe she owns the company. loosely based on hacks?

suggested connection: actress, writer, or whoever is in that vibe.

“what… are you doing? what’s this thing you’re doing?” she had looked up from her desk, the office had long been closed but kris was very obviously married to her work. she slowly shut her laptop, squinting. “you are absolutely not coming onto me right now, are you? do you think that would work on me? jesus, christ. i might be horny, but i’m not desperate.”

genuinely baffled by how some people see homura as evil. how on earth do you watch rebellion and come to that conclusion

[demodraws0606]

The fact people haven't pointed how weird Hu's entire behavior is in the latest episode is wild to me, like genuinely.

As soon as her weapon is mentioned, she goes completely silent and looks terrified.

Then Teruko asks her "what lie did Nico tell you to get a hold of that" and she doesn't respond. In fact she sounds confused and let's out a

"...What" As though she's confused that was the conclusion Teruko had made

In fact she doesn't even says a singular full sentence about it. No questioning Nico, no giving us context as to how Nico would've even gotten the weapon in the first place, no reaction from Hu to the idea that Nico would've tried to frame her and the fact they admit to it right in front of her.

This is the women who acted shocked and entered a blind rage when she learned that David betrayed her, blaming him for "toying with her heart".

Even if she would treat Nico different from David, I don't fucking buy the idea that she'd have 0 reaction to that. No tearful reaction of betrayal ? No breakdown.

Somehow here she says nothing, acting confused and then just sheepishly adding a "That's..." when the conversation moves further.

That moment is still stuck in my mind because it is such a strange moment especially with how we've established Hu's behavior during the entire trial.

We literally see how she reacts to being betrayed, we've seen it in this class trial, and yet someone even closer to her admits to framing her and it's just...crickets.

just wook how beanie baby she was (still is). 🥹💕

When Marazhai makes some ambiguous offers or seems to threaten RT, what does Heinrix think about it?

Marazhai: Do you want to know my world better? *Pushes RT off the edge of his speeder, then catches her hand* Do you want to look at my whip? Do you want to experience my agonizer?

Me: Heinrix, why are you silent now??? This xenos is trying to steal your lady right in front of you!

We're back home!

Kimberlyn's looking absolutely stunning here, like she didn't just try to crash Kamon & Damien's date. SMH.
