[wewontbesleeping]

honestly it still kind of blows my mind that we begged for the 10 minute version of all too well for years and we actually got it. and it was actually as good as we hoped it would be, if not better. incredible. huge win for the swifties.

Kitchen Fire

(Gracie Abrams x Reader)

——————————————————————————-

Gracie walks down the stairs in her girlfriend, Y/n Swift's, house to get a glass of water. She makes her way to the kitchen before she hears the front door open.

"You're back late" The brunette smiles at Taylor when she walks through the door.

"That's probably a good thing. I don't think I would've wanted to hear what you two were up to" The blonde teases with a smirk as she looks at the clock on the wall, seeing it was 2 AM. Gracie realizes that she is only wearing a bra and pants before a bright blush appears on her face. She stammers out a reply before rushing back upstairs to put a shirt on.

"What are you working on?" Gracie asks after walking back downstairs, seeing her girlfriends mother playing her guitar on the couch.

"It's called The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Do you wanna hear it?" The brunette nods excitedly as she sits on the couch next to the older woman before the blonde plays the song. When the song ends, Gracie is already laying on the floor with her hands over her face as Taylor laughs at her.

"You're a literal genius. I seriously don't know how you do it" Gracie mumbles into her hands before getting a sudden burst of inspiration. She quickly runs upstairs to quietly grab the notebook she keeps at the Swift household before quietly leaving the room again, careful not to wake her girlfriend. Taylor watches Gracie scribble words in the notebook before they hear something fall in the kitchen.

"It was probably just one of the cats" Taylor shrugs it off before she goes to her room, leaving Gracie to her writing before the brunette starts to smell something smoky come from the kitchen. She walks into the kitchen before her eyes widen.

"Taylor! Y/n!" Taylor quickly rushes to the kitchen before she grabs the fire extinguisher and telling Gracie to go get Y/n.

"Baby, you gotta get up. It's kinda an emergency" Y/n whines while grabbing Gracie's pillow and holding it against her chest.

"Mmm, it's too early" She replies without opening her eyes. Gracie sighs before picking the girl up and walking down to the kitchen before putting her on her feet.

"What did you guys do?!" Y/n exclaims when she sees the fire on the kitchen counter.

"Nothing! A candle must've fallen over" Taylor replies when she goes to grab a cup of water to put it out after she couldn't get the fire extinguisher to work.

"No! Don't use water. This has happened to me before. Never use water for this" Gracie runs to take the water from her as she films the scene in front of her.

"Well, this stupid thing isn't working" Taylor mumbles when she grabs the fire extinguisher again.

"Pass it here" Y/n takes the fire extinguisher from her mother before using it to put out the fire.

"You go babe!" Gracie cheers her on as she continues filming while Taylor picks up Benjamin.

"Our purses are ruined. And so are my shoes. And the whole kitchen" Y/n sighs before Gracie walks up to her, wrapping her arm around her shoulders.

"It smells really good though" She replies jokingly as she presses a soft kiss against her cheek causing the shorter girl to giggle.

"I'm gonna call Travis to come deal with this. You guys should probably go back to Gracie's. I don't want you to get sick" Taylor says as she pulls out her phone. The two younger girls walk outside and get into the brunette's car before driving back to her house.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about queer signaling and how it's generally taken by people in this comphet society because of obvious reasons. I have always known that people don't think much of it, they don't really pay attention, you could be so obvious and they would still manage to look past it because I don't know for whatever reason. I know these things happen but the more and more I witness this, I feel enraged, and I feel suffocated. I definitely think of Taylor Swift in this context but it has been becoming more personal for me lately. I am an aroace queer person. This is my pfp on instagram -

But my cousin who I am close to thinks that I am straight. Okay I'll consider the fact that this flag is not well known by straight people so I also put up some Happy Pride stories during Pride Month that had this aroace flag and these stories are also in my highlights under this photo. (Spoiler Alert - she still thinks I am straight) -

Now just a few minutes ago I looked up the lyrics of the song 'Casual' by Chappell Roan and this was the annotation for it on Genius -

See the use of he/him pronouns in a song written by an openly queer female artist. To clear any doubts, the love interest in the music video is a woman. Even if there was confusion left regarding that, the use of gender-neutral pronouns would have been much more appreciative and affirming. These "little" things, idk they just don't feel so miniscule to me, some part of my brain just keeps itching. Not to mention the larger-than-life scale at which it is happening with Taylor Swift. All these experiences, they build up my belief in the whole gaylor situation. You can't tell me now that what that woman is doing is anything but queer flagging and signaling. Why is it so hard for people to take hints and understand these things at times?? It is frustrating and I am not always able to explain this through words which irritates me even more. Anyways, that was my rant.

PS: Every time I mention the word "people" here, I doesn't include everyone one. I hope you understand in what context I meant that. For a lack of better word in my limited vocabulary, I used that word.

[joesalw]

First of all I just wanted to commend you for becoming a TS hate blog despite the annoying fangirl swarm you're probably going to face. You're truly doing the lord's work.

I saw that you said you were her a fan of hers but then realised who she was after her breakup with Joe. I was curious about how long you'd been a fan and how involved were you in the fandom and what was it that caused this 180? Was it one thing that just shook you out or was it little things added up?

For me, I had always considered myself more of a casual fan of her music but never got into the fandom side of it because I always thought of swifties as pretty fucking annoying. However, I've had mutuals through the years who were more in the fandom so I sort of observed from the outside. As for her as a person, I never went to bat for her but I always felt like I gave her a sense of grace and understanding despite her being 7 years older than me and far more privileged. For example, when people accused her of always playing the victim I always thought it was understandable because when you're young you often only see things from your own pov, but with age and maturity you start seeing the bigger picture.

My issues with her started in 2020, the year after she made a documentary where she shed her white women tears and proclaimed she wanted to be politically active and use her voice for good. But when the opportunity came with covid, BLM and the election she did less than the bare minimum, a couple of tweets and some cookies iirc. After that her shitty allyship continued to annoy me especially after that Ginny and Georgia tweet, but what was really grating on my nerves was the way her fanbase and the media were hailing her an artistic genius for the littlest things. She's always been one of the poster girls for white mediocrity in the entertainment industry but it was taken to whole new level with her directing her "short film". I don't know what makes good music, but I do know little more about movies and directors and all too well was just so meh and bland and basic and the fact that Sadie and Dylan are both brilliant actors yet their performances in that "film" were so lackluster tells me she does not have what it takes to be a director. Yet she was invited to one of those variety talks and was campaigning for a Oscar nomination? And will apparently direct a movie sometime in the future? Has the world lost it's fucking mind?

Anyways come 2023 to her dating a bigot and I realised just how much of a performance her "activism" has been and her going back to the same tricks of playing victim that made me realise it wasn't immaturity and age this is just who she is.

Sorry if this is tmi but I thought since I was asking for you story I'd tell you mine in a sense. I also have some completely unqualified armchair psychology takes on miss t if you're interested in hearing them. They're probably not "hot takes" or something someone somewhere hasn't already said about her but this was already too long for me to dump them on you unasked.

Hope you have a great day! X

I started fangirling her in 2016 when the whole snakegate thing happened. With reputation especially, when she wrote those monologues about her being comfortable being her ownself at the end of her 20s and wanting a normal life and privacy outside media scrutiny. Her talking about how she used her "taylor swift sqaud" to heal her past insecurities not knowing how it could affect someone who still doesn’t have that type of friendgroup, her deciding to keep her relationship private instead of making it a circus for the media. You know, you could see the personality growth in her at that time. To me she really felt like a very matured person.

Even though there were still lots of things (that you talked about) used to make me very uncomfortable, like that ginny and georgia tweet and her posting that black image of blm trend with THIRTEEN HEART EMOJIS (so embarrassing and weird?)

Moreover, I never liked any of her self directed music videos. Like those were so bland and boring and never fit with the music. But people still praising her and giving her vmas and shits was just a confirmation that nobody cares about art these days, they only want the clout from her name. Her music is also very boring. She writes about the same events in thousand different songs to milk the shit out of it. Like girl please move on!

But what made me actually unstan her was the whole shitshow she put up after her breakup with Joe. The person she talked so highly about in her whole discography was now a villain too. She went on a brought up a whole hate trend on Joe by making her friends unfollow him publicly.

SHE IS THE ONE WHO INSTIGATED THE WHOLE JOE ALWYN HATRED TREND.

You know no matter whatever someone does (his only fault was not wanting to marry her lol), nobody deserves to go through this type of media harassment. But Joe did. Joe is the person who saved her when she was having this kind of media treatment but later on SHE instigated the same type of hatred for him. That just proves how terrible she is as a human being. And not to forget she immediately started dating a vile, racist, islamophobe, bigot, piece of shit and said that was the best time of her life. She didn’t even acknowledge her wrong in the relationship on her breakup announcement (she acted unbrothered). She used Ice Spice to cover up her mess. I mean how many more reasons did i need after that?

Now in her travis era, she switched completely 180° saying being public is her real personality. She also brought back her squad pap walks. She is really feeding into the narrative that Joe kept her in basement. So like the MAIN thing that made me fall in love with her in the first place was all along a lie? She never matured? She never wanted to have privacy? She never valued a normal life? Her personality growth really went downhill to a shithole.

But after being so invested in her for 7 years, I can tell you that a breakdown is coming very soon and I will not feel bad for it at all!

10, 14, 17, 18, 19, 23

for the year in review writer's asks!!

10. what fic was the most satisfying to finish writing? maybe it was egos swinging (maybe it was her)! reasons here.

14. what were your go-to writing songs? it's different per fic because i usually go for songs that sound like the specific vibe i'm going for! my spotify top song this year was bts v's 'fri(end)s', because i listened to it SO MUCH while writing bad day wall. always linkin park's 'waiting for the end' for anything angsty, especially the zombie apocalyse ones.

i do have jily playlist mainstays that have just been constants no matter the fic, and it includes the ff:

marching on - onerepublic

i lived - onerepublic

all this time - onerepublic (okay there's a lot of onerepublic because i was into them when i started getting into jily in the early 2010s lol. basically the whole dreaming out loud album, really)

heart's a mess - gotye (angsty teenage jily!!!)

holy ground - taylor swift (for those let's get away and forget this all for a bit pieces)

wait - m83 (this one for emotionally charged, dreamy sequences)

mardy bum - arctic monkeys (lil shit james x lil shit sirius)

run - bts (let's take this city / young forever / invincible together vibes jily + marauders)

mikrokosmos - bts (coming of age / young ootp / the last of hogwarts / back of james's pick-up truck hopeful we are infinite scenes)

the astronaut - jin (same as above)

binibini - zack tabudlo (the quiet jily in-betweens)

give me love - ed sheeran

chelsea dagger - the fratellis (marauders!!!)

trojans - atlas genius

17. share your favorite opening line. "james has just managed to dodge a roundhouse kick to the face when his phone rings. he lands a hard blow on avery's arm and then steps back, letting him groan on the ground for a moment. 'kinda busy right now, red,' he answers, then ducks down as avery comes at him again."

— technically an opening line to a scene in no questions asked, but it counts lol i love it. few things in the world i love more than modern magic james tbh

18. share your favorite ending line. "The next time one of them disappears without a word, it's Lily.

Only this time, James knows exactly why. And he doesn't text or look for her, or wait on the steps with gummy worms and red iced tea, for that matter.

He just stares at a photo on his phone (of them, sat on a log together, his arm around her and her hands above his head in peace signs, both of them smiling behind a bonfire that lit them orange, the woods behind them dark and grainy and faded), ignores another text notification from Sirius (don't ice me out prongs i'm the KING of icing people out), puts his phone on DND, and wills himself to just go the fuck to sleep."

— grape police

19. share your favorite piece of dialogue. this one from bad day wall! but also this silly lil thing from grape police:

"Who's that other one?" she asks, for there is a third boy in his metrocard photo, besides himself and Sirius. He looks nice, although a much more unassuming kind of charming, a quieter presence than the two she's already met.

James smiles the kind of smile people do around stray cats and at tiny kindergartners in yellow raincoats. Then he says, "That's Moony."

"And that's—his actual name?"

"No, it's Remus."

"Huh. That's not less—hm, niche—than Moony."

"I know," he says. "It's cute."

"Your friends have such good names."

"You can say it, Evans. I have the most boring one."

love you cal thank you and happy new year!!!! 💜

The Impact That Taylor Swift Has Had On My Life - My Beliefs + Storytime

I am one of the biggest swifties you will ever meet. And I'm sorry (not sorry), this will be a bit of a rant.

In my eyes, Taylor is the kind of woman that the parents of this generation should want their kids to look up to. Taylor is a beautiful, kind, intelligent, aspirational, creative, caring, pure, inspirational, funny, confident, sweet, raw, successful woman. I feel like the people who hate on her are just people who have never given her a chance. In this day and age, musicians are often over-the-top or "fake" for the media, but Taylor isn't. For some reason, because Taylor acts more human for the cameras, people find a need to hate. Personally, that's something that I love about her : her real, pure demeanor despite all the paparazzi and fame surrounding her. It inspires me to be resilient and confident. I think to myself "If Taylor can be herself in front of billions of people, I can definitely be myself in front of my class (for example)".

Not only this, but her talent is unmatched. She had a dream and she worked for it and now look at where she is. She used her talent, drive and passion for her artform to dominate the music industry for the past 18 or so years, and that's really credible. The fact that she's only 35, but has achieved so much and is no where near finished, is insane to me. She's a great example of a strong woman who knew what she wanted and didn't stop working until everybody knew her name. My 81 year old grandad does not listen to any music from after the 1970s, he does not watch the news, doesn't have anything to do with modern pop culture or anything like that, and he still knew the name "Taylor Swift". He didn't know who she was, but he knew her name.

The way Taylor evokes so much raw emotion through her songs is so healing for me. When I'm feeling really happy, I'll listen to 1989. When I'm feeling really romantic, I'll listen to Speak Now. When I'm feeling like a baddie, I'll listen to Reputation. When I'm feeling heartbroken, I'll listen to TTPD. When I'm feeling disregarded in any way, I'll listen to Folklore. I could go on. Her lyrics are poetic genius. She knows how to capture any raw human emotion and express it in a way nobody else can. She uses metaphors and other writing techniques that explain certain confusing feelings in such clear ways. She provides a way for me to express myself and let out my emotions, positive and negative. She spreads positive messages, she shares negative experiences, she stands up for herself, she lets us cry and smile and laugh and dance and scream out in anger... and it's like she's sitting next to us and understands. Her music is like that older sister we all never knew we needed. It puts a comforting arm around us when we're sad, it encourages us when we don't feel enough, it parties with us when we're celebrating. I've been through so many hard phases in my life. A lot of trauma, a lot of heartbreak, a lot of stress, a lot of grief, a lot of self-hatred. It's been a lot. But Taylor has given me an outlet for my negative emotions and then provided me with a way to cheer myself up and bring in those positive emotions. I feel more confident talking about my deteriorating mental health when I'm struggling, and feel like I can really open up and seek help.

I feel like anyone can love Taylor. There is genuinely nothing not to love. Even if her style of music "isn't for you", that does not mean you can diss her as a person. She's a human being like the rest of us, and she's been through tough times too. That's why her music is so relatable, because she feels things so deeply and is so open and trusting and raw for us. The whole "Kanye drama" was a lot. I can still tell occasionally. Whenever I listen to Reputation, I think to myself "F*ck you Kanye. How dare you make a young woman feel that way about herself. What gives you the f*cking right?" and I feel for Taylor. You can side with whoever you want in that fight, but at the end of the day, you're choosing between a talented, good-natured woman or a power-abusing, selfish older man. What gives anyone the right to disrespect an innocent girl like that? Let alone a man of his age and in his current situation? F*cking nothing gives him that right. I will stand by that until the day I die. You can't diss Taylor over that feud with Kanye, because that's manipulating facts. As a woman, I find it comforting knowing that other women out there (in and out of the public eye) are going through the same things I go through. The same disrespect, the same abuse etc. It's not right. I hate it. But if we stand together, we can fight it. That's something Taylor has demonstrated.

I could say so much more. I could mention her incredible endurance and dedication to The Eras Tour. I could mention her highly generous and admirable charity work. I could mention her love and devotion for her fans. I could mention so much more about the wonderful woman that is Miss Taylor Allison Swift.

I want to thank her for everything. I've been listening to her obsessively since I was 9, and my life has been so much better since. I will never stop listening, I will never stop spreading Taylor's positive messages and image, I will never stop believing in what is morally good and wholesome, I will never stop being me. And that's all thanks to Taylor >3

[allylikethecat]

Omg, also a TS fan since debut and I massively took a step back from her personally prior to the reputation era because of her antics and victim complex. The music will always mean so so much to me, her lyrics mean so much to me, but her actions as a person and TS™️ as an entity is just weird and greedy. I think she accrued a lot of fans when she disappeared for a while who've completely constructed a narrative in their heads of who she is and they believe it and are eating up this current era, but those who've been here a long time know how PR and image driven it is. Exhausting.

I apologize in advance I have been having way too many feelings about this whole situation and how it relates to my identity as a 28 year old woman and you are about to get an oversharing novel in response lol

Also, I guess CW: this post is about Taylor Swift and if anyone sends me any kind of hate or whatnot related to my own personal opinions and feelings I will be deleting it because I am NOT playing that game.

My Aunt bought me the Debut album CD at a concert after seeing her open for Rascal Flatts. She was like "I thought that you would like her!" and she was RIGHT Taylor Swift became my entire personality. One of my FAVORITE core memories as a child was the day Fearless came out. For some reason we didn't have school, and my Mom and I watched Taylor on the Ellen show, and then we went to Target and bought the physical CD, we then drove around town so we could listen to it together. My mom hasn't been well and that is one of my favorite memories of us together. It's silly but when you're in middle school that kind of thing is important to you. Then in high school I actually got MADE FUN OF for wearing Taylor merch and being excited about Red. BUT I loved her music and felt like she actually stood for something, so I brushed it off and continued to be a HUGE Swiftie. I had the Taylor Swift dolls, I had the perfumes, I had the LOVE LOVE LOVE bracelet, I had the sundresses from WALMART. I saw her on the Fearless and 1989 tours, I had the fucking 1989 haircut. I was supposed to go to Loverfest.

I was still a HUGE Swiftie during the post 1989-pre Reputation eras, then the Reputation era. I'm a few years younger than her, but I felt like I could relate to the kind of manic panic that she was sharing with us (lol turns out I was just unmedicated and we're doing much better now). It felt (in my probably naive mind) like she was experiencing the same insecurities that I was and reacting accordingly. Was she playing the victim at times? Oh 100% BUT I also fully believe that she thought she was one. (Plus... Kim is my least favorite Kardashian lol)

I LOVED the Lover era even as it was shit on at the for the sunshine rainbow hyper colorful aesthetic. Like, I don't know if new fans realize but when Lover was released? It was NOT as beloved as it is now. Then Folklore and Evermore were absolute genius, it felt like Taylor had grown up, and she got all of these new fans, which was great! She was in an "adult" relationship and her music and publicity choices seemed to reflect that. It was so refreshing to see a celebrity keeping their personal life, personal, and sharing what they wanted to share through music. Midnights broke all kinds of records, again, amazing! Even if it wasn't as strong as say Folklore. I fought for my life and got Eras Tour tickets (opening weekend!!) I had the BEST TIME EVER.

Taylor has always been extremely calculated with her public image. She was over exposed during The 1989 era and the public turned on her, so I truly cannot figure out why she is doing it again 100x in this new era of whatever the fuck this is. I don't know her, maybe she is legitimately happy, or maybe this is a cry for help. But I have been so grossed out by her behavior lately, and how in your face everything is with Kelce. It's no secret that I hate Kelce (and people that know me IRL know that it's not a new Taylor related thing lol) and if she actually loves him, fine, that's great for her, BUT we don't need to see it! Yes she was public when she was dating Calvin but ALSO she was what 25-26? She's a 34 year old woman now with the biggest platform of any celebrity ever. She feels too old (and this is not me age shaming her because I would be grossed out if my friends were doing it, and I would be embarrassed if *I* were to ever do it) to be licking a man's face in public like this. This feels like sorority girl in her first college relationship (I was *in* a sorority for a hot second so this isn't hate on sorority girls either!) and not record breaking Grammy award winning artist. ALSO I feel like she used to come across as so articulate and well spoken? Controversial opinion but I thought she sounded like a fucking idiot in that Time Person of the Year piece.

I think that this whole thing is PR for something, but because it just feels too icky to be real, but I don't know what it's PR for, (trying to bury the Matty situation from May? Because if so that just makes me even more sad for him or trying to get back at Joe? Which if that's the case, I feel bad for him too and she's even more immature than I thought) and now, for the first time, AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS I'm embarrassed to be a fan of her, both because of her own actions and also the actions of her fanbase as a whole.

It feels really weird, and I know I'm being parasocial about it, but when the times got bad I always had her music to fall back on and now I just, I don't know it feels cheapened somehow because the current image that's being crafted doesn't match the one that we originally fell for. And you know what, people change, she's a celebrity, I don't know her, what she does DOES NOT affect me any way, and how I feel does not AFFECT HER in the slightest, and I know it's being parasocial but I feel like a big part of me is in mourning about it. Less because of her changing her image so drastically, and more so because I feel like I'm mourning the loss of childhood and joy that used to be associated with her music for me and I think that's what's making me the most sad.

I have Eras tour tickets for one of the London dates this summer. I'm probably going to still go, because I paid for them, and I also have tickets to see Noah Kahan that same week in London (... and also the Longines tour has ALSO decided that the London stop is that week...) But I don't consider myself a "big fan" anymore. Maybe I will be one day again, but this current image that she's putting out just isn't it for me.

Sorry for the longest Taylor related novel in existence, I have had a lot of bottled up feelings about this that feel ridiculous typing out and sharing out loud BUT I know I will feel better sending them into the interwebs and your ask was the perfect catalyst.

Thank you so much for sending this in and for your continued support! I hope you continue to enjoy my fics and my secret sports hot takes 😂

Gif Reactions to moments that had me 😲 or 🤬 in House of Flame and Shadow.

Read past the button at your own risk.

(82-End SnapChat ScreenShots will come tomorrow)

Using Taylor Swift reaction gifs cause I like her music(yeah, I'm a Swiftie), and given she's just announced a new album AND gone back on tour. Plus its my post, I can use what I want.

______

Me, before reading the book, aside from the Prologue and Chapter One, Sarah posted on her site.

______

Me, to Ithan when his POV's start getting all whiny. I understand he has the right to grieve, but it was literally her life, or him and his friends are trapped in the Meat Market.

_____

Me, to Azriel, when he comes out of the shadows(literally) and announces that he's the one who caused the Cave in, and been following them, and also won't give Bryce the Starsword when needed against the Middenguard Wyrm, or plans to against the Asteri bitch. Basically, me @ Azriel whole time. Only finger guns, tho, wouldn't REALLY kill him.

_____

Me, to Ruhn, when he's STILL BEING AN IDIOT, refusing to even LOOK at Lidia, even after she saves him, Hunt, and Baxian.

_____

Me, when Lidia, my FAVOURITE CHARACTER of the book, nay, the series, died.

_____

Me, to Lidia, learning she had sons. Twin sons. Twin sons who were fifteen years old. Twin sons who she hadn't seen since they were eighteen months old. Twin sons who ones nickname was cause he was a genius, the others was short for Brennan, as in King Brennan, Aelins Ancestor, who is also Lidias Ancestor.

_____

Ithan being named Prime, then killing Sabine because she killed the old Prime and tried to claim that the title was hers.

But at least Ithans POV is more interesting at this point. Him not wanting the power or title. This will make him a good Prime.

_____

Me, at Pollox when he kidnaps Bran and Ace just to lure Lidia. And when he holds a gun to Ruhns head. And when he has the kids brought out to the hall, gagged and chained in Gorcian(that's the thing about audio book, don't know the spelling) chains, AND THEN SHOT THARION.

_____

Me, when Bryce dies, and Jesiba goes to trade her immortality for Bryce's life, and Bryce sees Danika, Conner, and the rest of the Pack of Devils off in the distance.

_____

Me. Now finished the book. Empty. Numb. Who am I? What will I do? Who was I before? I don't know.

_____

There is so much more, but these ones stood out to me most remembering.

Ugh, such a good book! Loved it!

Let the Dave Rubin Taylor Swift meltdown begin

Dave Rubin didn't take the presidential debate very well. He really didn't take Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris well. I can understand this to a certain degree, it's been a pretty rough couple of days for Dave what with that whole "Unwittingly taking money from Russia to spread propaganda" thing and that other "My candidate chocked on national TV in front of the entire free world" thing.

Keep in mind when Dave starts rambling about Taylor Swift that his shows motto is "Crazy world, sane views" and his shows new theme song (which I'm 99% sure is AI generated) is "It's a crazy world, somebodies gotta have the sane views".

Somebody does indeed but it sure as hell ain't this guy.

01:41, Dave Rubin: "It's not really about the policies, it's really just about the narrative and I think we really saw a very very sharp example last night, lets say a very obvious example last night, of how the narrative is shaped and shifted right in front of our eyes because that was a three on one, that was not a debate, we've seen it in the post coverage."

So, right-wing media has settled on calling the debate rigged. It's the "8 year old who's angry that they lost a game" approach to politics. "Oh no, the moderators moderated the debate. We shouldn't do that anymore." Naturally, they're all ignoring the points where Trump made an ass of himself like when he declared that migrants in detention centres are forcibly getting trans surgeries or when he amplified the debunked racist smear about Haitian immigrants eating dogs. None of that was caused by the moderators, that was all Trump.

Part of what makes this all so embarrassing is that guys like Dave Rubin are constantly going on about how Trump is this political genius playing 4-D chess against the Democrats and yet simultaneously he turns into a blustery mess against three "dumb libs". Even if we're accepting that the debate was rigged, which it wasn't, Trump still should have mopped the floor with everybody there. You can't have both!

So, Dave launches into a diatribe about 9/11 which is just him politicizing a tragedy so he can push a narrative about the debate, gross. We won't dwell too long on it but he does say some royally stupid things in this segment.

05:02, Dave Rubin: "I wanted to just sort of show you something there because that was only 23 years ago and think of how fundamentally different the world is from that morning to this morning, like wildly different. The fact that there was no questions even asked about it at the debate last night and the one time it was referenced, Kamala Harris completely dismissed -- well, it wasn't referenced actually. Kamala Harris said that January 6th was the worst moment in US history since the Civil War, completely dismissing 9/11. I mean, absolutely disgusting."

Why were there no 9/11 questions at the debate? I don't know Dave, could it be because it was 23 years ago?! 9/11, while tragic, isn't a current issue. There are no people basing their vote around 9/11 related policy. If you want to talk about questions about terrorism and the Department of Homeland Security, fine, but I don't think any sane person was expecting any 9/11 related questions during the debate.

So, Dave does an ad for mattresses and then reads a tweet from Ben Shapiro, also Dave's super objective. Just oh so objective.

08:47, Dave Rubin: "So, it seems to me, I'm gonna try to cover this as always as objectively as possible, you know my feelings about these two candidates, you know my feelings about the two parties, you know my feelings about the mainstream media but it seems to me that the main takeaway is not 'Oh my God, Kamala got Trump on this policy' or 'Trump really had that great line that exposed her for being a fraud' or any of that. It really is the narrative thing around the mainstream media because watching that debate last night, I don't know how you could be an even approximate objective person and think that it was not a three on one."

Yeah, the main takeway people seem to be having is "Holy shit, Trump's nuts!" Also, Harris absolutely won the debate. She swept the post debate polling with a 23 point margin with 57% of respondents saying that she won the debate. Turns out that racist diatribes about migrants don't pull in the moderates, shocker.

Also, Dave sounds very objective just parroting dumb right-wing media talking points.

09:22, Dave Rubin: "They repeatedly, dishonestly, fact-checked Donald Trump instead of just letting Kamala retort and they did not do it to her once. She went on lie after lie after lie including very fine people which, as I said last night, it is the most debunked lie of all time."

Yeah, like the time where she fell for a Facebook hoax about migrants eating pets....oh wait, that's your guy.

Very fine people isn't debunked. There is a Snopes article saying that the claim that he called Neo-Nazi's very fine people is false but if these guys read past that appealing big red X they'd find this paragraph. Quote:

Editors' Note: Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. That is not the case. This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false. For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump's characterization was wrong. 

So, he didn't specifically call Neo-Nazi's at Charlottesville very fine people, he just both sidesed it. This is just a dumb semantics game. Trump absolutely should be criticized for that.

Dave then plays a clip of RFK Jr and then a clip of Trump with Hannity. Dave then plays a clip of Trump being fact-checked on crime being down (which it is). Naturally, the Dave Rubin Clip Show hasn't really changed much since the news about Russia broke out.

Anyway, here's Dave lying about the crime rate.

14:39, Dave Rubin: "You can argue actually, I think you can make an honest argument that it is a moderators job to fact-check, we all wish there would be a little more fact-checking right? So, when she lies about very fine people on both sides I would like a fact-check there. So I am not throwing David Muir under the bus as if he shouldn't fact-check but he only did it one way and actually Trump was right about that, we've got this from Washington Examiner. In fact, violent crime is up substantially from 2019 levels and last years 2023 apparent drop is less significant than it appears. Part of the problem is how police departments report offences to the FBI, that's exactly what Trump was referencing. The FBI asked, then demanded, that law enforcement agencies transfer away from the system that they used for decades to a new more detailed but onerous one"

Well, Dave finally gave me a specific, I love when they give me specifics.

So, the Examiner article that Dave's referring to is a Washington Examiner article called "Bad Data From The FBI Mislead About Crime". Since the Washington Examiner is journalistic garbage, I looked into this myself and found that they're being intellectually dishonest as hell.

First of all, the Examiner is looking at 2019-2023 whereas people saying that crime is down are looking 2022-2023. There was indeed a brief spike in crime during 2022 but that doesn't change the fact that crime is down now in 2024. The Examiner itself concurs that crime continued to drop from 2023 to 2024 meaning that Dave's own dumb source was forced to admit that crime is indeed down. Unfortunately, guys like Dave need crime to be up because that helps them panic their audiences into buying their junk.

16:21, Dave Rubin: "Go to New York City, see whats going on. See what happens the second the sun goes down, the types of people that are out on the street. They're out during the day too but then suddenly it's like a zombie movie, they all start coming out."

Yes, at night they DOUBLE come out! They're out during the day but during the night it suddenly becomes like a zombie movie and then they....come out again I guess? What an absolutely moronic statement.

Also, as somebody who's been to New York City and walked around there at night, no it's not like a zombie movie.

So, Dave complains about MSNBC which is just stupid. I'm not going to deal with it. MSNBC is a network I have lukewarm feelings about as it is (their website is better than their cable coverage) and Dave Rubin just sloppily rambling about clips from them that he's clearly taken out of context isn't interesting. What is interesting is Dave whinging about Taylor Swift. Dave reads her endorsement and then gets really mopey and stupid.

27:00, Dave Rubin: "It's all confusions that she said there, I don't know what the issues are she cares about so Taylor Swift, do you want 15 million illegals here bringing in fentanyl and taking out our cities? Is that what you want?"

I've discussed this on the blog before but migrants aren't bringing in most of the fentanyl, it mainly comes in on trucks and tractor trailers. So yeah, pretty bold of Dave to try and accuse somebody else of having "confusions".

Dave then has some high-level political analysis. All I can say is just...just look at this absolute moron.

27:45, Dave Rubin: "There's something -- I would say there's something even more nefarious. She obviously didn't write that statement, probably didn't even look at that statement but they put that out immediately after the debate because what they want to happen there -- what they want to happen there is that they want young girls to be angry at their parents. That's another piece of this, they're using her as a tool so that when a father comes home from work, and generally conservatives have jobs and he's worked hard all day to put food on the table for his family and he comes home from work, that the daughter will start screaming at him for supporting Donald Trump and then the wife will probably start screaming at him too because the wife doesn't want the daughter to be upset because they are trying to hatchet away at everything."

Ah yes, conservative dads. If there's one group of people famous for changing their worldview when their family challenges them on it, it's conservative dads. That's why every thanksgiving since, oh I don't know, the concept of presidential elections was established has been peaceful whenever politics comes up.

The pandering in that clip is also just painful. "Hello audience of mostly conservatives who hate me for my marriage, just wanted to let you know that you are all HARD WORKERS and that's why you shouldn't take what your family says seriously."

He goes on too and it just gets dumber from here.

29:44, Dave Rubin: "So think about it, that statement was planned, obviously. She didn't write the statement, somebody -- they pay somebody, a PR person or whoever it might be, to write that statement. The picture with the cat -- like, this was a plan right? She didn't just take a selfie with her cat and then write that thing up, obviously. They put that out immediately after the debate and then moments after that, Tim Walz is on television talking about how excited he is about the Taylor Swift endorsement. Really think how fucking pathetic, I think it's my first one since I came back, that this is."

Getting this riled up over a celebrity endorsement is pretty pathetic Dave. He does realize that she's wealthy enough to have a photo taken of her after the debate right? Or more importantly, that this endorsement doesn't really mean that much in the grand scheme of the election. I'm convinced that the only people who really gave it a lot of attention are Taylor Swifts fans and guys like Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin who've been blowing a gasket about it since it dropped on Instagram.

31:07, Dave Rubin: "Ivy (?) just mentioned to me that Taylor Swifts tour that she's on was supposed to wrap up but they've now extended it to go through the election, do you think that's a coincidence right? Probably not."

So, Taylor Swifts master plan to steal the election is as follows:

Step One: Become famous over the course of decades by producing music.

Step Two: Go on tour during the election and endorse Harris after the debate

Step Three: Extend that tour through the rest of the election because...if you aren't on tour you'll just suddenly stop being famous I guess?

The Russians really go their moneys worth with this Dave Rubin guy. I wonder what the refund policy on grifters is. So, the rest of the show is pretty boring stuff. He plays a clip from the View at some point which is further proof for my theory that conservatives are the only people watching the View in 2024. Then he remembers that Taylor Swift is a person who exists and decides to get gross as hell.

58:30, Dave Rubin: "Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris on Instagram, after the debate on ABC, proudly calls herself a childless cat lady. Elon Musk, who they hate, he saw that and he wrote this; 'Fine Taylor, you win. I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.' So, he's mocking. He's exposing the ridiculousness. Right, it's like Taylor Swift, you are a young pretty girl. Do you know what the gang members from Venezuela do to young pretty girls? It ain't pretty."

God, both Dave Rubin and Elon Musk are gross as all hell. Gotta hit that "fair white women will get raped by those scary brown people" button whenever you can I guess. Again, gross. Also, she's a 34 year old woman you misogynistic creep.

On the bright side, it certainly helps cement the fact that these guys are indeed weird as all hell despite their protestations.

Conclusion:

Well, that was a grown man having a conniption fit about a pop star endorsing a political candidate. The yearlong conservative meltdown over Taylor Swift is hilarious and I figured we could all use something on the lighter side after all the Matt Walsh we've been seeing on the blog lately. I'm sure we'll go back to naked racism and bigotry in the next post and all our souls will be destroyed oncemore but for now lets just take a moment to laugh at this absolute moron prattling on about Taylor Swifts supposed evil plans to throw the election.

been thinking about how in the amc show lestat is going to be a modern and famous musician and thinking about who would want to collab with him and who would be apathetic toward him and who would be like FUCK YOU how dare you come up with this ELABORATE RUSE to lie to the public for CLOUT!

feel free to suggest additions

people who want to collab with him

lil nas x. like, the vampire lestat would be so on brand for him. as soon as he knows that lestat exists he would be like hello yes lets make some gay shit together and piss off the christians

chappel roan. they're out here covering each other's songs but changing the pronouns to keep them gay. they're swapping fashion advice. probably do a few shows together in the missouri arkansas louisana area

sabrina carpenter gives him full permission to do me espresso and please please please covers

mainly neutral

olivia rodrigo is just. a little upset that he's out here milking the vampire thing so soon after her single. she doesn't want to work with him and she's not like, enemies with him, but she thinks it's in poor taste. like wait a second man my song's only a year old!

post malone collabs with everyone and really WANTS to collab with lestat but lestat is not interested

lana del rey. everyone is trying to get her to work with him but she's not interested

despised

taylor swift really hates him. he is the subject of her newest feud and he's just like. hm. i do not... how you say... care? which makes her even more angry. we do get a very good concept album out of it though because she channels some of her anger about his whole thing into a vampire album. like ha two can play at this game.

he really wants boy genius to like him because he thinks they're very cool and good at what they do. they don't, though. he's really bitter about that. "where is this queer solidarity they speak of? where is it for ME!??!!"

drake. he's like come on this guy says he kills people?!?!? and then everyone's like yeah. sure. but he doesn't date minors. and then lestat says "of course not! i was a father!" and drake's like HE HELPED KILL HER WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? and lestat is like "hm yes. i Did do that. but am i attacking daniel molloy with untrue accusations when he knows all of my deepest secrets? i thought not." and drake is just seething in the corner

Open Letter to Taylor Swift

I have never used Tumblr a day in my life, and wanted to come on here to write a letter to Taylor Swift! I sent a letter back in February to Taylor Nation in hopes of it getting to Taylor but I know this is such a long shot of her reading some random fans letter I tried not to get my hopes up, I've always wanted to send Taylor a letter telling her what her music means to me, and as I'm getting married in September, I thought, "Why not send her an invitation and use this as an excuse to tell her some things I've wanted to say!". I know she's insanely busy, and I don't expect to hear back or receive any recognition, but I know mail can get lost sometimes and maybe coming onto the internet would have a higher chance of her seeing it? Here's to hoping!

Anyways, the letter is posted below, anyone is welcome to read it, and I have revised it since I wrote it last as her latest album came out and I had more to say.

Dear @taylorswift,

My name is Laura, and you might be wondering why I was hoping to have you at our wedding! I first want to preface this and say I’m a huge fan of yours (from album 1), you probably get this a lot, but I remember so vividly, my mother purchasing me your debut album at 11 years old and having ‘Should’ve Said No’, ‘Picture to Burn’, and ‘Our Song’ playing over and over and over, like I had any idea at that age of what those emotions and feelings for a guy were. But I sang my heart out every time I listened to the album until it wore out and my mom had to go and purchase me a new one.

As you grow in life and with your music, I have grown with you and admired every single album and record you have put out. From Debut to The Tortured Poets Department, I couldn't imagine not enjoying them all. My most admired of yours is Folklore, you put it out to the world during a time we all needed it and this whole album you’re a lyrical genius (you always are though). Your lyricism in this album is on another level and I can have it on repeat for days on end and not get tired of it. But, I will say, I do think your new album, The Tortured Poets Department, may overtake Folklore as my new favourite. It's so hard to choose! The songs ‘My Tears Ricochet’ and 'Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me' are my favourites at this moment. It's always hard to choose a favourite and they can switch depending on the mood! Anytime I listen to an album of yours and think I know it inside and out, there is always something new I learn from you.

Needless to say, my love for you and your music has never wavered once. You have been my favourite artist for as long as I can remember, and I feel as though over the years, I have grown so much through the lyrics you write. All the genres you have gone through over the years show your growth and for many of us fans that are here through it all, it is as if you have never once let us down by changing and trying new things. Even now at 28 years old, I get giddy whenever I listen to your music, no matter how many times I've heard them!

I feel so honoured, privileged, and proud to be able to tell anyone who asks, ‘Who’s your favourite artist?’ and to be able to say you, this always puts a smile on my face. Because even though I do not personally know you, the lyrics you write are good enough for me to know that you are an amazing person, and anyone would be proud to be able to call you their favourite.

You have proven repeatedly your resilience to things in this world and your strength and I am sure it is not that easy. I relate to you on this on so many levels and this is the reason I personally feel so connected with you. I have always wanted to write to you and tell you this, especially when my mother passed away in 2011, a long time ago, but you helped me through this a lot. I felt connected to you through her as she first showed me your music and I lost something then, but you helped me to gain parts back bit by bit through your music, and I cannot tell you how much it means to me to have your music as a safe space.

Going through this wedding planning, it’s been hard not having my mother around, don’t get me wrong I have a huge support system in my fiancé, and sister-in-law, but there is nothing like a mother’s touch in these situations. Your song “Marjorie” has been hitting me a lot harder these days and it’s so easy to relate to this song. Thank you for making it a part of your Era’s Tour. The grieving process has almost felt as though it has come back and I’m going through it again while keeping it at an arm's length not wanting it to get too close. With this said, your music has been a constant repeat to get me out of my head or to accept the emotions and run with them, welcome them and not be afraid of feeling this way.

All throughout the last 10 years of my relationship with my fiancé, I have slowly progressed to making him a “Swiftie” which I have finally accomplished by going to the theatres and watching ‘The Eras Tour’ movie twice and renting it 8 times now at home and watching it multiple times through Disney+. I was so happy to finally be able to watch this and it felt good having him seeing what I have been seeing this whole time.

I hope this letter and invitation gets to you and you are able to read this, I’m sure you get many things like this, but I’m so happy to have finally been able to write this to you and would absolutely be honoured to host you.

I know you don’t come to Canada, let alone BC very often, but would be privileged if you did! We are hoping to see you in Vancouver this December for your Era’s tour instead of going on a honeymoon, he knows how much this would mean to me (we did not win the great Ticketmaster war, as you can assume!). And so, from converting my fiancé, and sister-in-law, all into Swifties, we can’t wait to hopefully see you then! After being a fan for 17 years now, I can’t think of a better concert to go to see you for the 1st time ever.

My true best regards to you and I wish you nothing but the absolute best in this life, you deserve nothing less!

All my true love and admiration,

Laura

ok ik that I'm probably gonna get hate for this but I'm not like a huge fan of season 2 of heartstopper.

like don't get me wrong I loved the 1st season. it was the reason I got into the whole omniverse. but I kinda have mixed feelings about the second season (and yes ik I'm very late to this) so I'm autistic and I. can't really handle change and yes I do fully understand that everything can't be fully lined to the comics and has to be some changes because it's a fucking tv show. but there were some changes, mainly in the second season that like really bothered me and I'm just trying to see if it was just me or not.

i really kinda hated the extra stuff leading up to Elle and Tao getting together. like the whole "first date" thing literally almost made me wanna die. mainly cause I feel the books portrayed them getting together very well and it just wasn't needed.

on defense of the second season I will say that the Tara and Darcy extra scenes and lk storyline was amazing and very good. like the whole thing with Darcy's mom was incredible. and the after prom thing where they're playing that Taylor swift song was genius. (if u can't tell they're both some of my favorite characters) and I'm not just putting Elle and Tao down cause I don't like them as much. I absolutely adore Elle and her entire personality in the books and Tao in the books and show us just fucking adorable. and it wasn't the actors fault at all they did an amazing job. another defense for it was the acting. the acting for like 5× better than the 1st season in my opinion, especially the nick&Charlie kissing scenes those were 6× more like realistic and shit. another issue i have with it was the casting. like ik u can't get it absolutely correct I fully get that but they were givin a pretty good description of what each character was supposed to look like. and I'm not saying they did that with every character. the casting with Tara and Darcy was absolutely perfect. but with Elle mainly her description is very shown and ik I'm not in a casting department had to be absolutely perfect and shit but... they could have tried harder to find a trans egyptian actress. mainly cause ik that middle eastern representation is kinda hard to find and they only found a mixed girl to play her. no shade to Yasmin, she's fucking gorgeous I just would have liked for them to have that representation.

also I was kinda annoyed with the added Ben parts. BUT the scene where Charlie told Ben that he never gave his consent for Ben to kiss him was pretty cool and I give them a lot of credit for that. I am also a huge fucking Imogen fan and seeing her be the fucking bad bitch she is was amazing. I just didn't like when nick and Ben were paired up together BUT I did like when nick said that he literally fucking assaulted him and it was cool that they said that literally and didn't leave it as an inference. *tw rape (also unpopular opinion on the assault scene if nick hadn't been there I think it's safe to say that Ben woul have raped the little angel charlie) so that was good that he dad that but I felt those scenes just weren't needed. and yes once again I do know that the comics themselves can't make the entire show cause it just wouldn't be long enough BUT almost all the season 2 episodes where like 10-15 minutes longer than any season 1 episodes. so....

also I didn't think that elle going to art college was like needed. like I didn't feel that that extra drama was needed in the show. oh I almost forgot to say this I absolutely hate the prom scene with all of my heart. EXCEPT the very not straight Sahar and Imogen scene when Imogen is kinda staring at her like Sahar is the best thing in the world (wich she is). but I hate the costumes for prom. like Charlie's made me want to scream into a pillow. and Tara's could have been 7× better. but it just wasn't super nessasary in general

also sorry if my spelling is absolute shit I can't spell to save my life

[madisonbeersource]

HIIII 💙💙💙 how are you, beautiful angel?

I'm finally here again, I've missed it and I feel like it's been a while since I've posted here although I really don't think it was that long ago. I don't know hahaha but what I do know is that there is a lot to talk about.

To start with we have to talk about Spinnin and OH MY GOD where do I start? I am simply IN LOVE AND OBSESSED WITH EVERYTHING RELATED TO THIS SONG. I think it's one of my favorite Madison songs of my life and right now it's my favorite song. I feel like spinnin is one of those songs that touches your soul, you know what I mean? I think it's a deep song that you can relate to in different ways and it's SO SO precious..... THE BRIDGE OF THE SONG... HELLO? I'm still obsessed MADISON HAS AN AWESOME VOICE and I don't understand how she doesn't get more recognition, because wow just wooow. this song shows perfectly how talented she is.

And the mv? God, I LOVE IT I think it's also one of my favorites, not only of Mads songs, but of all music videos in general. It is a piece of art, every scene, the aesthetics, the drama and madison's performance.... I could talk for hours about this song

The scene where Madison puts clothes in the washer and of course, spins around like Spinnin is how Madison is a genius. The scene where she runs through the corn field and the birds standing still in the sky is too cute, and then when she is on her knees with the spotlight pointed at her in front of the cars WHAT EMOTION, WHAT FEELING I literally had goose bumps

In fact, bringing up the subject of the scene of Madison running in the cornfield I like this image better as the album cover than the other one that was there. Don't get me wrong, the other cover was great and she looked super cute, but the new album cover... I love it. I think it fits really well with the album

And another super important thing, THE SNIPPETS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'm super super super excited. Sweet relief I really like it, I love the vibes it has and I can't wait to listen to the whole thing, Envy the leaves (which if I'm not mistaken was one of the songs you were claiming, no?) I thought it was super nice, it's going to be a GREAT song and 17 seems to me a very interesting one. The first time I listened to it I didn't love it, but now that I've listened to it a couple of times I really like it too, I think it's original and very cool . Which one did you like the most?

I'm looking forward to listen to the rest

Aaand before I say goodbye, (although I know, I'm back to writing a lot again but there was so much to say) I wanted to tell you that lately I'm obsessed with some Taylor Swift songs. I remember you like her a lot and I happened to be listening to Enchanted and I love this song, it's just too beautiful. And then I rediscovered her song Wildest dreams and it IS A VERY GOOD SONG, I adore it. And finally I discovered two days ago her song This love which I find super super super beautiful, I would say it transports me.

Now with these three songs I feel like falling in love with someone very deeply. I would also like you to tell me what are your favorite Taylor's songs, I'm looking forward to discover or rediscover more of her music.

Now that I've written the equivalent of the Bible... I assure you that very soon I'll write you again, probably with another huge text hahaha

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 💗 you are the person I like to fangirl with the most, I feel you understand me very well

[thegreenmetblue]

@professional-benaddict tagged me there and i love this so here’s mine 😌💖

i can’t possibly choose between my two favs so it’s gonna be peter parker and tony stark.

Ask Game about your fictional fave/s!

1. How did you discover your faves?

I discovered Tony while watching Civil War but didn’t really had my coup de foudre yet.

It happened when my parents made me watch Far From Home. It actually was the way Peter mourned Tony that made me watch the Iron Man movies.

And then obviously I became obsessed with both of them.

2. How long have you been a fan of your faves?

3 years. Ive been obsessively a fan for 3 years.

3. Do you write for your faves? (E.g. AU's, Drabbles, Fan Fics.)

Yesh, they are the ones I wrote the most about actually!

4. Do you like what is canon about your faves?

👁️👄👁️

I wouldn’t even know how to properly answer that, so i’ll go with a simple no.

5. Tell some of your headcanons of your faves.

Fix iittt- Tony comes back from the death after Endgame, NWH never happens, they both live happily ever after. Boom, my endgame.

I actually like the words they canonly live in, without the fact one is dead and one is forgotten from the whole universe.

6. Do you draw for your faves? (E.g. Fan Art)

Yes, a lot. I wish I could do small comics about them.

7. If your faves are portrayed by several actors, who are your fave portrayers?

Well, Tony will only and forever be Robert Downey Junior. No one else can be Iron Man.

My Peter is Tom Holland. Because Im in love with him.

8. Are you more into Books/Comics/Films when it comes to your faves?

If we take fanfictions out of the picture, Im more into the movies.

9. Quote anything about what your faves has said.

First sentences that come to my mind were

Tony : “Earth is closed today.”

Peter : “But if everything, it’s kinda your fault that Im here… Okay I take that back.”

10. Quote your favourite line of your faves!

Tony :

“No amount of money ever bought a second of time.”

“There's one thing you can never take away from me: I am Iron Man.”

“Everyone wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way.”

“United? Unity isn't about being the same. It's about working together. What you can't calculate, Ultron is that our differences are our greatest strength.”

Peter :

“When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you.”

13. If your faves were real, do you think they'd like you?

Peter would definitely like me, yeah. Idk, it’s just a feeling. I think we’d great friends.

For Tony, Idk, Id love to think he would but I would maybe be too in love with everything he does, that would probably annoy him at some point.

14. Amongst your faves who do you think are you? (E.g. You have 5 faves, amongst the 5 of them you think of yourself as fave no.3)

Im definitely Peter. We’re really alike.

15. Do you know your faves origin story?

Yess ofc. Im in awe with Tony’s. That man is just a freaking genius.

16. In 1 word describe your faves's aesthetic.

Peter : Nerdy

Tony : Philanthropist

17. Are your faves famous on A03?

Yes. Have you looked a them ? Duh. Also please Ao3 come back, we need you.

18. Ships that you like with your faves?

Them together. It’ll forever be my safe place.

Not against Pepperony and Spideychelle tho, but that’s all. Otherwise I get jealous.

19. Are your faves well known?

Definitely, me and my students have the same Spiderman and Iron Man clothes, bags, shoes at school.

20. If your faves have a fandom, what do you think about the fandom?

I love the MCU fandom, I love the universe, I love the movies and its been my safe place for three years now.

Natasha and Bucky are my babies.

21. Describe yourself using something your faves have said!

“I just wanted to be like you.”

Because I have a lack of self confidence and of will of living and I just idolize everyone bc I wish I could be like them.

22. If you would feed your faves something, what would it be?

I’d feed them love and cuddles because they definitely need some.

23. How do you see yourself in any of your faves?

I see myself a lot in Peter. Idk- just his way to talk, to move, to think. He’s just… so me. The Peter most people write in Starker fics also makes me think a lot of myself.

Tony makes me think of myself by his irony, self degradation skills, alcoholism, panic attacks, little depressing stuff that makes me identify to him.

24. Ever taken a break from your faves?

Nop, not since I started worshipping them, Im the worst. They still make me feel at home.

25. If your faves were to have a crossover, who and which character would they have a crossover with?

Mmmh, I see them well with Derek and Stiles for some unknown reasons ?

Or in the HP world bc Hogwarts AUs never get old.

Bonus: Anything that you'd like to tell your faves

Tony : I hope you find your peace. I hope you know that your sacrifice saved us all. I wish you were there, alive. But now, every time I look at the stars, I can see you. You’re my hero.

Peter : I remember you. I remember you and you’re not alone. Im here.

Pretending science and doing science are very different things. Activism has NO place in policy without scientific rigour. A generation of Bernie retards should get it.

Throwing money at shit out of guilt leads to grift. Progressives get it. Oregon really gets it. Seattle gets it, new Yorkers are probably getting it. There's no one to pay the taxes for your BS or welfare programs. You can let them eat cake at a Taylor Swift concert, new movie, or the met, a vogue shoot. Influencer vibes.

Perhaps if you, or your Bernie backers had a science background or knew ANYTHING about energy policy, you wouldn't be bankrupting America.

How much money can you piss away in 6 years while building wealth?

You're a brand of outrage. I'd take sanity, eloquence, diplomacy any day over this childish bullshit.

Sisters for the environment, starvation, shiny gang rape, surveillance, doxxing and grooming. Genius.

Confused stupid weak women. How could the world keep going without you?

I'd love to talk mining, indigenous rights, tibet, basketball, children, antisemitism, corruption, healthcare, the imf, world bank, art and Stonehenge.

History. The inconvenience of history to your BS narrative.

I'd Really like to talk water, Caste and colonialism. Because after 80 years , sensible reproductive education, r&d couldn't be implemented. Of course LAND back doesn't apply to Punjabis like my mom. Only for blacks 300 years removed from slavery.

Can you imagine a black man.going to the Punjab and making a speech about ancestral land? I fully recognize the need to understand history but not selective history, not the history of only selected people. How fucking stupid. Or reading the Quran on sacred indigenous land. Solidarity for retards.

Just pump out shitty code. Bias, wipe out whole people's. Selective memory. Way to put a country in a reeducation camp. I hope you rich assholes from california don't buy a second home here. Lord knows I can't fucking stand Ryan Reynolds, the Kardashians or the masses of George Clooney idiots that congregate in the state.

WRONG!. Ready for that street fight.

When workers strike back. They actually have to do the fucking job. Not taking credit for other people's work. Idiot. You might as well set up the fucking gulags.

Does that include Pakistan & Somalia, Kashmir and India, Afghanistan? Or is it utterly performative outrage? To weaponize idiocy? I'd really like a fucking answer. For Pakistan and democracy and women's rights.

Tag someone you want to get to know better.

Thanks for tagging me @myheartalivewrites ! ❤️

favorite color: In general choosing favorites feels very constricting to me! However, I love white, red, and pink. I used to hate purple which is fucking weird. Thank god I'm over that. Love purple.

last song: Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. A go to lift-me-up.

last movie: I am currently re-watching all the Marvel films...I last watched The Avengers, Age of Ultron and am currently watching Ant-Man. The last film in the theater I watched was the Taylor Swift film of the Eras concert.

currently watching: Movie--Ant-Man. TV: just finished Loki. Started the second season of Heartstopper and for some reason I cannot get through it! Help! Started re-watching Sex Education. And always go back to Schitt's Creek, Community, and Parks and Rec...

other stuff I watched this year: Bridgerton, Mission Impossible, The Witcher, Never Have I Ever, Derry Girls, Young Royals...that's all I can think of right now!

shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: Cannot get through season 2 of Heartstopper...sigh.

currently reading: My fiction is pretty much all fanfic right now. But nonfiction I'm reading is Fashionopolis by Dana Thomas, The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner, and Pussy, a Reclamation by Regina Thomashauer (this is actually a re-read!)

currently listening to: I feel that a well crafted pop song is something that is highly underrated and hard to do well. Just saying. I am loving my Day List from Spotify in general. I think Olivia Rodrigo's new album is seriously genius and I don't say that lightly. I always love Taylor Swift. But also I have a rotation of things like Squeeze, Radiohead, and Fleetwood Mac! I'm ecclectic.

currently working on: Okay. @historicallysam knows that I secretly want to write a fic. I have three fics that I've started and it is unclear if I will ever finish them because I feel like I don't really know how to write a story. But I'm having fun!

One is a Henry in the Stripperverse story because I am in love with that au. In it, the strip club that Henry worked at (that's super cheesy) gets closed down and he gets hired by Zahra at the strip club that Alex works at (that's super fancy) and Alex is pissed because he's the star of that club...plus Liam just dumped him and Alex is feeling insecure. It's a whole thing.

Another is Alex and Henry dated in college but Henry dumped Alex and left NYC and Alex was devastated. Years later he's working at the ACLU and his boss introduces him to his new partner on a case--Henry. Alex is in another relationship, in love, and considering moving in with him but obviously Henry showing up throws a big ole wrench into that..

Lastly, a one-shot where Alex is a Thai Massage Therapist and Henry is a new client that's come in with a groin injury. Yup. ;)

That was fun to share those here because this may be the extent to which they are ever shown to the world!

current obsession: RWRB (swooning, clutching my heart, throwing myself onto my bed while sighing.)

Tagging @historicallysam AND if you're reading this and feel inspired to answer, please tag me and let me know!
