Alrighty let me post some art from the past couple years since I’ve been gone lol, this is from late 2023

i just had a thought... you know how in demonology we find out prentiss had an abortion. and how there has been this storyline of prentiss and kids. and how she never actually got to have kids later when she did want them... like that is her punishment? i know its horrible but if you think about it...

[riptides-owner-is-gorgeous]

i know there are probably a lot of think pieces out there already, but idc imma speak my mind

reid being mean to prentiss in season 2 can be read as many different things, or justified for many different reasons.

but i like to think maybe reid was lowkey mad that prentiss, someone who had just met him a few months ago, was one of the first to realize something was off with him and actually called it out to him, and not any of reid's other friends/coworkers who have supposedly known him longer. and not knowing how to channel his frustration he just laid it down on prentiss, who being honest took it like a champ

It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

10 years and i have rarely used this blog to post, 10 years mostly lurking around... i want to change that, i think it would be fun to post more, no one sees anything anyway, no reason to be embarassed

[riptides-owner-is-gorgeous]

me at any minor inconvinience: this is not what God would have wanted

[riptides-owner-is-gorgeous]

honestly, reblogging to see if i get some clarity on what's next in my life. i'm almost graduating and have no idea what i'm gonna do once out of school

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

i'm not used to posting here but i just saw this tiktok:

and it reminded me of this post. specifically this comment on the video:

i guess we'll see what happens, but I've been getting weirdly anti-taylor tiktoks and tweets lately when usually i get swiftie content

TLDR; speculation on probable Taylor Swift fallout based on 8 year pattern AKA worldwide kickoff of taylor swift's carrer in 2008 with release of debut album, 8 years later falls out of grace thanks to kim and kanye lying, then releases reputation, 8 years later may be on the brink of another fallout to give way to another reinvention era/album

i think i just realized something, i think Taylor Swift might be very close to a worldwide fallout, falling out of the high pedestal she's been on lately. and this is based solely on a pattern i saw, which is:

all fine > 8 years > worldwide fallout > "reset" image, fine again > 8 years > worldwide fallout > "reset" image

allow me to explain.

(forgive me if someone has already said this before, i just haven't seen anything)

so, to establish a timeline.

if we consider The Start of Taylor Swift's professional (to any extent of the word) career as the release of Taylor Swift (the debut album), then it all starts in 2008 (technically the internet says "it was released in North America on October 24, 2006, and elsewhere on March 18, 2008". still the year i remember is 2008, and it was the release date for the world so to say, and honestly, USA is not the only country ever so whatever).

then 8 years later, let's set the scene. it's 2016, Kanye releases Famous, the Taylor line, the music video, the edited phone call video. boom, seems the whole world turns HARD against Taylor (she's gotten hate all the time, but now it seems to be EVERYONE, your mom, her dog, the neighbor, and their aunt Martha, even people who "don't care" about Taylor Swift are swayed to form negative opinions on her, most of them taking to social media for everyone to see).

one year later, 2017, we get reputation. i take this as the beginning of gaining back the trust? the grace? the ykwim of the world. 2020, the real full phone call leaks online, this accelerates the process.

8 years later from the fallout (2016), 2024. here is where we get to speculating grounds, about what i think can happen next based off the 8 year pattern i saw:

2024 is the year people lose faith on Taylor Swift, you can even say the world will turn on her again, it's the cycle of things and in her case it appears to be every 8 years.

you can even say the cogs started moving in 2023, with the whole jet emissions, lack of being vocal about things people see as important, problematic fling with ratty, overdoing the whole merch and consumerism "spend more and more on me and my stuff" thing, borderline estranging and seemingly throwing part of her fan base under the bus (gaylors with the 1989 prologue), allegedly starting a PR relationship with the NFL (spotlight with misogynistic men, generates hate), etc.

she's getting too much media exposure, people who didn't care for her, start not liking her (she's everywhere, it's tiring), people who simply didn't like her now start hating her (no more tolerance), people who hated her, hate her even more and are making it everybody's problem. some people who like or love her, given the radical change of focus in her appearances lately (NFL, new boy, WAGS besties, republican america fuck yeah vibes, as opposed to focus in her art, music, lyrics, thoughts, etc.) may even start not caring about her or disliking her.

so, i think what comes next is a fallout. still, i think that what makes it different this time is that now she has control of the narrative. maybe this time it's planned. i don't think it's a coincidence the two left re-records are Taylor Swift debut album (which started it all, started the cycle) and reputation (the tool for image reset, for changing general opinion on her).

i don't know what the order will be, maybe:

release TS TV, then full blown fallout, "disappears" from public eye (hard given the eras tour is still on), comes back a year later with rep TV and new image

release TS TV, continue slow fallout, rep TV and finish eras tour (closing circles), extreme media exposure that tips the glass, full blown fallout, disappears, comes back a year later with a new album that changes public perception about her rep style

what may this new image be? idk maybe:

a traditional, "actually i'm straight and lowkey homophobic", "i was lying about not wanting to get married", getting married, forming a family, retiring to focus on new family, we see nothing of her ever again

or a controversial, "actually i AM gay and tired of hiding it" or something like that

literally anything else, idk

i wish i could always look pretty

i think i get taylor swift. if i were gay, in the closet (kinda) and then i got too comfortable and started gaying too close to the sun, my first reaction would also be to make people believe im intrested in a guy (because heteronormativity) or fake that im dating a guy to calm down the straights around me.

like, i would be fine with other queer people thinking im gay, and in a way i would kinda want that, to be seen and feel understood. but i wouldnt be fine with straights thinking im gay. so queer flagging seems like the best solution, gay people get it and suspect (almost know) and for straights it flies right over their heads. the best mid of both worlds.

ive been thinking about thoughts and how some can be categorized as twitter thoughts (thoughts you share on twitter) and tumblr thoughts (thoughts you share on tumblr)

more specifically, how you know if a thought is one or the other. is it that every twitter thought can be a tumblr thought, but not every tumblr thought can be a twitter thought?

[riptides-owner-is-gorgeous]
