Porfiry telling Raskolnikov that at least he was honest and in one bound took the furthest leap to put his theory to the test of actual action——

#Taylor believing a man who is obviously lying to her #like. it’s fascinating to me how they’ll say anything to her and she’ll be like ‘okay let’s go’#she’s never read Jane Austen and it shows. but that’s okay because she’s the character in an Austen novel #she has no sense of self-preservation she has no common sense when it comes to love #and the reason I have endless patience for that is because she IS different. she is extraordinary. she is WEIRD. she’s so needy #so angry so fragile so stupid so brilliant so completely helpless #like the bolter———I can’t even LOOK at it right now #because you know she was like this since she was 5 and SHE knows it #just so. Different. so strange. I mean she ruled her family with an iron fist from the age of 11 #and her packaging is so basic and she she had so much access to everything anyone could want #so there are none of the usual marks of someone being so Different #but like. people HATED her from day one. you know her own strength of personality was drawing out many people’s hatred or envy #and she’s so helpless in her own personality because she can never change #like thank you aimee? or whatever? heck yeah there was some girl who bullied her and brutalized her on the playground #and you know it devastated Taylor from day one and still does #and it’s just. I don’t know how people can’t see that someone with that extraordinary set of gifts #wouldn’t also suffer in such an extraordinary way #and ways that elicit so much scorn and non-sympathy because people are unsettled and jealous and annoyed by her #because she WILL find a way to win #but isn’t that proof enough that she is the very OPPOSITE OF NORMAL #it’s why people have to be like ‘oh she sold her soul to the devil for this success.’ or whatever the psy-op spy thing is #because there’s no human way to explain her success if she really were as basic/talentless as people say #ugh this is all so incoherent and irritating and I’m so sorry but I just. I cannot explain how protective my heart is of her #and all the many many mistakes she’s made and the prisons she’s made for herself because she’s LIVING the tragedy #of never having denied herself one time/getting everything she wants #and discovering the poison at the bottom of everything she reached for with desperate hands #like. I love her so much and I am so protective of her because she is so helpless and she is getting shot in the face every time #and she feels every blow!#whew I need to turn off reblogs and will probably delete but I just #this album is all of her spilled out and people DO hate to see it because a lot of people hate her!!!!

Suddenly and forcibly reminded of the time in sixth grade when I got it into my head that starting a UFO/Paranormal club would be a great way to make friends.

(Narrator voice: It was not. It was not a great way to make friends.)

I listened to TTPD all the way through on a long drive today (probably my 4th time) and I have a lot of thoughts about privacy and photography and safety. Not sure how to approach that topic on tumblr, if at all. But all of that to say, I feel a little bit ill thinking about the remaining vaults 🥴

#If anybody has advice or suggestions for how to respectfully handle that conversation on swiftie tumblr #Pls share!#I have been on tumblr since like 2011 (🤪) but only participating in swiftie tumblr since 2021 #So I know there’s some sticky nuance to the boundaries between like… academic music/poetry interpretation and biography and gossip #And I want to throw violence prevention in there as an interpretive lens too #But I don’t want to be disrespectful #But I do think that she describes some situations (wether literal or metaphorical) that I want to talk about #And I’m not prepared to do that yet without really gathering my thoughts and citations first #Just wanted to put out feelers for any swiftie cultural norms I should be aware of…#C #would've could’ve Should’ve hours #Down bad #i can fix him (no really i can)#tsmwel #Mbobhft #bdilh #Fresh Out The Slammer #waolom #Icdiwabh #clara bow #the albatross #I hate it here #thank you aimee #i look in people's windows #the prophecy #cassandra #The bolter #the manuscript #(Good lord!!? It really feels relevant to soooo much of this work)

Finally listened to the anthology songs and they’re so fucking good omg. I don’t know if I can rank them, I just love all of them

#top 3 atm are probably cassandra; the albatross & the bolter #but chloe or sam or sophia or marcus; thank you aimee & the prophecy are also so so good #i mean all of them are. there literally ISN’T a bad song on the second half of the album #on some of them i like the production better than the lyrics or vice versa but still #taylor really said ‘oh you want woodvale? here it is’#i’m joking but honestly.. anthology is exactly what i thought ttpd was going to be #tbh it really is a double album. it’s two separate albums #everything from fortnight to clara bow is very midnights-esque #everything from the black dog to the manuscript is giving folklore/evermore but with a more pop sound #she could fully have released them as two separate items titled the tortured poets department and anthology #and i would not have batted an eye. i don’t think anyone would have #anyway i want the anthology on cd #personal #taylor swift

Ok but can we talk about

As she was leaving, it felt like breathing// how the death rattle breathing, silenced as the soul was leaving

#how did it end #the bolter #I don’t know if this is anything #taylor swift

okay a ranking not based on how much i think ill like them because i truly have no clue but based on how much im anticipating the song:

fortnight

my boy only breaks his favorite toys

i can do it with a broken heart

florida!!!

the tortured poet’s department

but daddy i love him

fresh out the slammer

the alchemy

the smallest man who ever lived

so long, london

who’s afraid of little old me?

clara bow

guilty as sin?

loml

down bad

i can fix him (no really i can)

#i think i probably put track five too low #also i don’t have the brain power to possibly add the bonus tracks but im by far most excited for the bolter #and the black dog is also a pretty intriguing song titles #taylor swift #mine

me when i get the overwhelming need to ghost the people im talking to, and then when i do i get the overwhelming need to check in on them

#i’m like the opposite of The Bolter #I bolt bc i have to but i don’t get a rush from it #i just get more SAD #thanks taylor swift for writing that song for me though

far be it from me to play at being tswift’s line editor but i do think the line at the end of fresh out the slammer should have been “invisible rings.” one less syllable to struggle with than ‘imaginary’ and also it would mostly rhyme with “invisible string” and we all know how she likes a callback

#I don’t know why like 1/2 of the songs on this album end with mediocre codas or whatever they are #I kind of hate the end of that song anyway but imaginary rings is such a clunker AND a missed opportunity!#that said it is one of the songs I like. not on the level of the alchemy or the bolter but a solid b tier song

Thinking about third person perspective in TTPD

#not thinking anything coherent because i’m too high for that #mostly thinking about: the albatross (especially with the bait and switch - she’s the albatross to i’m the albatross)#the manuscript; the bolter; how did it end #also thinking about which songs DON’T use third person despite using a storytelling style that could suit it #like peter and the prophecy and maybe cassandra #i think the difference is that some of the third person songs are more about public/external perception of taylor #the manuscript being about atwtmv short film; the bolter and how did it end being about her relationships and how other people might see #or talk about them #whilst the prophecy and cassandra and i look in people’s windows are more personal #they’re about TS’s actual emotions. maybe. i don’t want to assume #taylor swift #ttpd

For those who aren’t buying all, what variants are y’all getting ?

#I’m trying to figure out which sounds most intriguing even tho I know there’s gonna files going around #the bolter looks pretty #I’m at an age where buying 4 CD’s when I don’t even have a CD player is not responsible
