#Jay Z does not need me defending him

irreplaceable rant? to the left to the left

My irreplaceable rant is essentially:

When Beyonce wrote Irreplaceable it was like a giant stepping on an ant. Even in 06 she was shaping up to be a Juggernaut. B'Day launched at number 1 I believe? She was blowing up. Well established, producing bop after bop after banger after banger. And We bought Irreplaceable because we, fully, were on board. Beyonce COULD have another you in a minute. The mythos of Beyonce was taking shape. She was Beyonce, you were some guy. To the left.

When she wrote Lemonade it was like. Oh there are stakes now because whether you think Jay Z is great or not or a garbage dude or whatever, he's at least closer to her level than just "some guy".

Like. Of course she could have another you in a minute if you were some dude. But could she have another Jay Z in a minute? No, categorically she could not, and to say otherwise is to tell yourself fun lies because you hate cheaters or men or whatever. I am a firm believer that Beyonce is one of a kind and cannot be replicated in our lifetime as a cultural phenomenon, artist, creator, singer, you name it she is. incredible. But I'm also not going to pretend Jay Z wasn't in some ways just as singularly, powerfully monolithic with popculture just because most of this website understands rap less.

She writes the Sistine Chapel about him because like it or not, she wants to. She looks at him and sees things you could only dream of creating and I for one am just happy to be here, and could care less what you think about Beyonce's specialist boy who is the catalyst of some of the best music I've heard in the past decade, and also someone who MADE some of the best music I've heard in the past 20 years as well.

Beyonce's first solo recording was 03 Bonnie and Clyde, btw. As in, she was a feature on a Jay Z song before even releasing Dangerously in Love. Which. Also prominently has a Jay Z feature. In the lead single. That arguably launched Beyonce's career. Why would she ever write songs about the man who helped her launch her career that she has been married to for 16 years. A damn mystery.

And for the record, if she wanted to make the most beautiful art in the world about literal garbage, so the fuck what. We hate Duchamps The Fountain on this website now? Irving Penn spent years taking extremely detailed, well composed photos... of actual trash. Like Mud Glove. His photos were hanging in the Smithsonian a few years ago. Turns out beautiful art that says something, even something about trash? Still beautiful.

If I have Taylor swift mutual, you’ve managed to avoid my criticism of her for years bc I tend not to post about her on here at all.

I don’t hate her, but I fucking loathe her brand and the following it’s cultivated. And it bothers me so deeply because she exploits her fans and society with victim narratives, which plays into white supremacy ideologies. If you’re skeptical of this claim, ask yourself why someone who doesn’t old nazi ideology has such a loud and vocal neo nazi/white supremacist following?

Usually this type of vocal support originates when the artist shares far right wing ideologies and is public about it. Taylor is a Democrat and largely support left wing beliefs. They didn’t randomly attach themselves to her, she exploited certain beliefs and identities and attracted the wrong type of fan.

But this post isn’t about those type of fans, but rather, why the way she operates is loathesome and I’m sick of how society, fans, and people coddle her.

This all started with a black man daring to say a blonde haired, blue eyed white girl wasn’t deserving of an award.

Before anyone says, “you’re defending Kanye.”

Fuck Kanye!

However, the 2009 mtv vmas conditioned people how to treat and perceive Taylor, which is as a victim.

Now I know someone is outraged and is thinking, “Taylor WAS a victim.”

While that is true, does anyone honestly think that moment should’ve been as big as it was? Let’s be for real. Should the media have milked that moment for an entire fucking year and people still talk about it 13 years later.

An award about a fucking basic ass music video. And I don’t care for the single ladies music either, so it’s not like I have any skin in the game.

It was a bad moment, but it should’ve only lasted a moment.

Y’all want to know why we still talk about it? Why Taylor can still milk and exploit that moment, which she does?

Because she was a blonde hair, blue eyed white girl and this was a scary, arrogant black man.

Back then, people argued that Kanye targeted her because she was a girl. That this would’ve never happened if it had been a man. The racial implications are clear.

This signified to the nation that she needed to be protected.

For those who are wondering why I’m stressing blonde haired, blue eyed white woman that’s because it’s important: it’s who nazis believe are the perfect and superior beings.

For people who believe that Kanye targeted Taylor for this reason, keep in mind: this the same man who said, “George bush doesn’t care about black people” on national tv in front of a bigger audience. Why would he specifically target Taylor or be afraid to confront a man if he literally called out the most powerful man in the world at the time?

If this had been James blunt who’d pulled that stunt, it would’ve died out. But it was fucking Kanye. And the media obsessed and obsessed about it. Because they already hated him and he was already polarizing, but still a fucking superstar. They made sure we never forgot what happened that night. And instead of people asking, “why are they making this such a big deal”, people ate it up. Like they were asking this man what he recently deceased mother would think about what he did when one: he was only drunk as a result of his mom’s death and his difficulty in dealing with it two: again, this man called out a president on tv, Taylor was small potatoes in comparison.

Like this moment should’ve been akin to when lil mama got on the stage with Alicia keys and Jay z. It’s a moment we randomly remember, but largely forget about.

Admittedly, taylor was young and presumably overwhelmed with everything that happened that night and what came afterwards. However, taylor never sat and thought, “although Kanye ruined my moment, that situation was completely overblown.”

No. I’m text, she constantly leans into or plays into that night whenever given the chance. She loves to play into narrative that Kanye hates her and is feuding with her. That’s she trying to ignore him and get over that ordeal.

Thing is: anyone who has listen to Kanye’s music can tell you that if Kanye is beefing with someone you’ll know it. He’s very obvious about it. Kanye flat out apologized to her, referenced the incident in a song, said he was pressured into apologizing a specific way, and then rarely if ever referenced it again until 2016. And that timeline is important. Because Taylor was the one making songs or references to him/that night, yet claimed that he’s the one who can’t let it go.

Now before we get to 2016, leading up to this, most of Taylor’s popular songs or moments was about her being a victim (of a bad relationship) or fighting bad against someone who “wronged” her. In some way, shape, or form there was a victim narrative happening.

She was very loud about the exes that wronged her, but when she was clearly and the only one in the wrong, she’s quiet about it with her music. She sings about it, but does make a big to do about it. It’s not the centerpiece.

During this time, Kanye sends her flowers, she presents him an award, and they have one or two other good moments—they also publicly compliment each other.

Then, “Famous” happens.

But wait, I’m going to backtrack again. Remember how people said she was receiving unfair criticism for singing about her relationships and exes and that if she were a man she’d be praised?

Funny enough, there’s a genre about relationships whether it’s failed, successful, reminiscing over whatever and that’s R&B. The R&B girls (and guys) have been singing about exes and shit since foreva and they didn’t receive any of this criticism. Hell, literally every Adele album is about relationships or heartbreak and, at least, three of them are about real relationships.

What’s the difference between them and Taylor?

We almost always know who she’s talking about and that a huge problem.

She’s lucky that most of her exes are famous—well, no, they’re lucky. Can you imagine being a regular Joe and being attacked because a relationship didn’t work out and Taylor wrote you out as the bad guy? Because lets be real, do we believe that every relationship (not every bc we know she did Tom and Taylor dirty, which she receives very little to no criticism about from her fans) she was not at fault for and they were the only ones to do wrong?

Because if you don’t believe they, you should have an issue with how she operates—no longer past tense—and that her exes get harassed and attacked because of her music. Because we sure as hell would have a problem if the genders were flipped.

Or how she wrote bad blood about some fucking backup dancers that left to perform for Katy, and then made a video with all her famous friends, which is effectively bullying. Yet, that’s ignored.

So we get to 2016 and Kanye calls and asks for her blessing. Taylor seems to be genuinely receptive of this conversation, which is important to note because people claim she was being agreeable not to anger him or whatever. When he asks her approval, she basically says that it’s okay for him to say whatever he wants bc it’s his music. And this conversation is important, but not for reasons Taylor stans believe.

When the song drops, taylor gives the impression that they didn’t talk or really talk, which is false. Kanye was trying to have that discussion with her and they did to an extent. He didn’t call her to just discuss her putting it on her Twitter account, her wanted her to be okay and not offended by it. Why would he ask her to put the song on her TL and expect her not to listen or be offended by it??? What sense does that make?

People make this about her being called “that bitch”, which is why her essentially telling Kanye he didn’t need her permission and that he should write what he wanted is important. She didn’t hear the added like, but she did give him carte blache to say whatever he wanted. This doesn’t mean she had to be okay with it, I get why she was offended. But she could’ve said, “we did discuss the song and I knew he was going to say some risqué things, but I don’t feel comfortable being called a bitch.”

This acknowledges that a conversation happened and she knew he was going to say controversial shit, but that revisions were made.

Also, the line about them having sex…she was completely okay with that during the phone call. Yet, when it was released not only did she fake outrage, she made a Grammy speech addressing it. And let’s be clear: fame doesn’t equal success or acclaim. For someone who is an acclaimed lyricist, she should know better and does.

This was her exploiting her image and goodwill vs Kanye’s image and perception.

She misrepresented that conversation and made up a narrative all while being asked to be kept out of it. Then to claim that Kanye secretly recorded her to embarrass her???

Although there was no way for her to know, presumably, that Kanye’s been recording his life since the fucking 90s to flat out confidently state that he only did that to hurt and harm her was deliberate. Like, she factually stated that as if it was known only for a documentary to be released 5-6 years later that proved Kanye did record all aspects of his life.

And for people who need this explained to them: part of the conversation around this time was how he was targeting and harassing her, which this “secret” recording was evidence of. Because when you actually listen to the conversation to understand and not take sides, this appears to be a communication issue, esp culturally.

Although it makes sense why Taylor would take insult at being called a bitch 1. Some women don’t 2. Rap is very misogynistic and bitch is sometimes perceived as a compliment as well as the idea that a woman would reward them with sex for whatever reason. But again, Taylor never objected to that line during the call. Was not offended and just said others (I believe feminists), but that she’d be in on it and would surprise people after it was all over. And we can say she was saying this to placate him, but wouldn’t you say that’s on her and not him. He asked her opinion and was genuine?

Despite this back and forth, who is the one writing and singing about this?

Taylor.

She says she wants to be left out of the narrative and left along, yet she brings it up.

And we have to ask why it’s so bad for others to discuss their dealings with her, but it’s okay for her to obsessively talk about her dealings with others. She wants to be left alone while not leaving them alone and knowing her fans will harass them.

Like she’s rehashing old shit (relationships) in midnights. Why??? I know the concept behind it, but it still seems childish, obsessive, and like she can’t let anything go, which her fans seem to be fine with.

And can someone tell me if she ever addressed slutshaming her ex’s then girlfriend who was then harassed by her fans? Because while she may have been going, thats still fucked up.

Or how that situation with her masters was not only misrepresented, but her later going on to discuss Scooter’s divorce is weird as fuck. And before someone argues about how she has a right to own her masters, my point of contention isn’t that. It’s the fact that most artists don’t own their masters and she tried to position it as sexism as to why she was denied to ability to own hers. And that the only reason scooter got investors to buy it with him was to spite her.

This is all her exploring white woman tears and white supremacy ideology. How is she both a shrewd business woman and a poor victim taken advantage of??? Can both exist? Sure, but not in the narrative that she’s crafted.

She always need some person, powerful figure, expectation to fight against and conquer. She may have taken a break with Evermore and folklore, but she’s back at it and people just eat it right up.

She’s petty, spiteful, vindictive, and refuses to let anything go, despite her success and not needing to relying on this shit.

And you can’t say shit about her without someone feeling offended and personally attacked.

Now some may think I’m a huge fan of Taylor’s because I know so much and have opinions or obsessed with her, but I’ve successfully avoided most of her music for years. I keep up with pop culture and can tell you a lot about many artists without actually listening to or keeping up with them. Esp when their fans obsess about their all of the time.

But ask yourself why you’re so protective of her in comparison to the other girls. Why is she the only one worth defending like this?

The snipers were John Allen Muhammad (age 41 at the time) and Lee Boyd Malvo (age 17 at the time), who traveled in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan. Their crime spree, which began in February 2002, included murders and robberies in several states, which resulted in seven deaths and seven injuries. In total, the snipers killed 17 people and wounded 10 others in a 10-month span.[2]In September 2003, Muhammad was sentenced to death, and in October, Malvo, a juvenile, was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences without parole. In November 2009, Muhammad was executed by lethal injection.In 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated Malvo's three life sentences without parole in Virginia on appeal, with re-sentencing ordered pursuant to the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 132 S.Ct. 2455 (2012), which held that mandatory life sentences for juvenile criminals without possibility of parole violated the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari, with oral arguments held on October 16, 2019.[3] Should he be resentenced, Malvo's minimum prison sentence will be determined by a judge; the available maximum sentence would be life imprisonment. The ruling does not apply to the six life sentences Malvo received in Maryland.[4] On February 25, 2020, after the passage of a Virginia law allowing those who are serving life sentences for offenses committed before the age of 18 to seek release after serving 20 years,[5] the U.S. Supreme Court case was dismissed at the request of lawyers on both sides.[6]

Forty. Part 3

I can feel Robyn’ eyes on me, the stare is burning at the side of my face, and I don’t want it to upset her. I would never want to hurt her, but I don’t like that she got taken advantage of, he was old. I see my daughter and I see my wife; how could he do that to her. I think she’s mentally never been right because of it; she lets them have power because of it, she probably feels like she’s obliged to be under them, she honestly needs to let them let her go, she deserves to be happy and content away from this. I looked away from Robyn and looked at her face, she is so upset “I won’t say anymore, just don’t be upset” clenching my jaw, I just feel he shouldn’t get away with it “I don’t want him in this meeting unless he is begging for his contract back, I don’t want that nigga here. He was never wanted here, everyone hates him and the only reason we keep face is for Rihanna, but I want him out” Jay Z is funny “fight me then nigga?” I laughed “fucking fight me and kick me out, the fuck you want me to do. People here, they all kiss your ass because they scared to switch it up on you, they scared to speak anything different on you, but I don’t care, I’m true to me! Myself, I don’t like you either” I shrugged, I don’t care for him “Rihanna, you tell him to go” now they speaking on my weak ass wife, she is weak and I don’t trust her to be by my side “he stays” Robyn said, oh she is standing by me “can I speak to you privately?” Looking at Robyn, she is going to tell me to go privately but I will listen to her, just because she is pleading with me to do it. Walking behind Robyn “just listen to your wife” Jay thinks he’s funny saying that “shame you didn’t want yours initially” I laughed, Jay shot up so quickly and the way Robyn went in front of me “no! You don’t touch him, you stay away from him” he makes me sick he did that to her, I walked off clenching my jaw. I just don’t like this, any of it because he’s a liar and he’s making me sound crazy. If Robyn does tell me to go then I will, I can’t do her like that. She is sticking by me clearly, she stood in front of me the way she did, but I don’t know how she is feeling at this moment, or even what she is going to say to me about it.

Robyn walked into the room, she paced a few and then stopped. She looked at me “look, I am sorry ok. I just want to protect you, I don’t want to upset you, I am not here for that, but I really just want to help you. Maybe it’s not coming off as that but please, I am sorry. I’ll go then, for you though” I feel bad, Robyn slowly made her way over to me, her lower lip quivering “please tell me you don’t” she said, and I don’t understand what she means “what?” I said, she placed her hands over her mouth “please, please tell me you don’t know” I frowned at her “who did it, you don’t know” her voice broke, my heart fell “look, I erm” I put my head down, I don’t want to say, “I don’t know” looking up “Chris” she sobbed out, I don’t want her to cry “please don’t cry” wrapping my arms around her “please, please don’t” holding her close, I don’t want her to cry “you promised!” She pushed at my chest “Robyn I don’t know anything” I defended myself “don’t lie to me, you promised to not do this. To not find out, how?” She heaved out, trying to keep her composure. I swallowed hard “I worked it out, at the award show, I clashed with Jay, and he said something, and it just fit, I made a remark and he snapped at me, he uhm. He grabbed me by the throat, he wanted to kill me, and it proved that it was the truth, he yeah” I don’t want to say those words, Robyn turned away from me, she is in pain, I know she didn’t want to relive this “I am sorry Robyn, I am really sorry” I cringed as she cried out in pain, the sharp cry she did cut through me, I know she didn’t want me to know, putting my head down feeling my tears come out.

I wish I wasn’t like this; I wish I could have just left it but it bugged me, it bugs me that he has gotten away with being this way with my wife “I am sorry” I apologised “I care for you so much and I will do anything to protect you including this, you don’t deserve this. I just can’t accept what he did when I look at my own daughter, same age as you” Robyn looked at me as she sobbed out “I feel like you are hiding behind the sorry he said to you when he left” Robyn balled up her fists “stop it, stop it, stop it. Please!” I caught Robyn before she fell to her knees “I got you; I got you. I got you baby” she grabbed my top crying out “I don’t want to do it” nodding my head “I am going to need you to be strong Robyn, you need to say it. I need you to threaten him, so you get out of this contract, you can do it” looking down at Robyn “you need to let the chains fall, these chains he’s had over you because he took it from you, he took it from you and you seem to be stuck. I will be here Robyn, I am sorry this is happening but for you I remained silent, I did it for you but he did it to you and think about it, lots of girls go through it” she is shaking, I feel awful about this “they have leaked your things, they are trying to make me stay away from you, they want to keep you because they need you. You don’t need them, it’s about time you use your power, I will be here for you” Robyn’ grip on my top never loosened, she is holding onto me for dear life like I will leave her but I won’t, I am here for her, I am here to protect her “I am sorry” I have to keep apologising because I do feel bad about this “I don’t want to be in this dark place” licking my top lip “this is your moment to get out of this, and I am here" she sighed out shakily.

The grip on my hand, her head is lowered “everyone out, everyone but Jay Z, I don’t give a fuck. Out!” I said walking back in “I suggest you announce it, tell them to leave” I stared Jay Z down “no joke” I feel my hand is going numb “leave the room” Jay Z waved his hand, as soon as he said that everyone left but when I asked they didn’t, I think this is it. This is the moment where my wife can be free from this “what happened?” Jen said concerned “leave me” Robyn breathed out “wait outside” I said, walking by the people ad they walked out “come sit” pulling the chair out, Robyn refuses to look up, she is so sad. Sitting down next to Robyn “well the room is cleared” Jay Z said “Imagine it, a nigga my age going for your daughter for a contract” Jay Z stood up “sit down” I stared at him “you ain’t shit nigga, once this comes out you will be done for. You raped her, she was a child! A child of Blue’ age, Rylee’ age. A child! Imagine it, Blue came to me, she was born abroad and I just you know took advantage, oh it’s not nice. Robyn is someone’s sister, someone’s daughter! And you fucking took advantage, you motherfucker you took advantage of her!! And you had the nerve to say sorry to her? You took fucking innocence away!” I shouted, “motherfucker I should kill you!” I pointed “all these years, all these fucking years! And you still have a hold on her, not anymore” Robyn sniffled “speak Robyn, you have a platform. You can baby” I said to her. Robyn shakily placed her hand over the hand she has over ours, she isn’t letting my hand go “you took what was mine, don’t! Don’t speak! I am speaking” Robyn said “I’ve never spoke on this to anyone because I was so scared, you literally made people think I was some whore. The narrative got put out there because of you, but you took what was mine” oh I am mad, I want to fucking kill him “I can’t do this anymore. I want out, I never said I would do this, but I will go public” my eyebrows knitted together “I choose my husband, I choose my family. I am not having this affecting me anymore, I cannot and will not live with this. I have hidden this with me for years, this secret burdening me and then I burdened my husband because I always felt shit of myself because you really made out like I wanted it, like if I didn’t do then I wouldn’t be able to help my family, and I came from a poor home. Chris is right, I am facing the man that raped me” the words hit me so different when she said it out of her mouth, it hit me hard but she didn’t cry she is staring at him. The silence and the stare,  I swallowed hard “I will release you from Roc Nation, a peaceful release but you need to sign that you will never speak on it to anyone” this is all he cares about, I am ready to jump over this table “that is all you care about?” is he real “you cannot say anything” he said, he is a bastard “you cannot ruin my life, I will release you but you cannot say this to anyone” he should be aired out, he deserves the backlash he gave her.

💕💕 For the ask game!! E (bring The Greatest Hits back around, we need them like air), K, O, T, U, and Z!

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

THERES SO MANY OKAY. okay. i love being funny i love using characters to be funny & it brings me great joy. here are some good ones:

d2 script revisions by me

murder is okay if nobody can prove that you did it

carlos and chad become worsties

stop making jay relapse

more recently theres ranking twst characters based on how easy it would be to beat them in a fistfight

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

um. killua hunter x hunter, honestly. nothing else will ever come close. i know you dont know who that is dcfvgcfxds but TRUST ME

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

i put my most recent playlist on shuffle and got part time god by the bad dreamers. this song reminds me of carlos, actually. but carlos if he was like... really really angry. and working a dead end job. listen, its just the vibes

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

i can pretty much be convinced of anything if the writer is good enough at selling it. to the point that i directly contradict my own headcanons in various aus. i just like letting everything be wiggly and exploring a lot of ideas in various contexts.

the only headcanons i literally Will Not budge on are my autistic hcs. when i headcanon a character as autistic They Are Autistic, to me. they can never be allistic. its the only hcs im like this with. they are as follows:

squall leonhart, carlos de vil, yusuke kitagawa, tatsuya suou, langa hasegawa, malleus draconia & riddle rosehearts. there are a few more but they are for characters i care less about so

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

squall leonhart (i relate too much to him)

ruggie bucchi (hes funny & i find the plight of his existence very sympathetic and interesting)

hiei yu yu hakusho (hes funny & i find the plight of his existence existentially horrifying)

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

i am writing that fic i mentioned to you, about langa having Issues. i think it's based so far, it seems my writing niche for fanfic like this is having a character Going Through It, them talking to everyone in their vicinity about it, and then coming to some sort of emotional conclusion. i do think i am going to let him deck adam in the end though. stay tuned my friend

[neerasrealm]

Describe your Jay Myles Planetary Go AMV- I want to know what you see-

FUCK DUDE THAT WAS FAST. ok ok fair. ok so to start off, i DO actually picture an AMV for this HDSGFDSHGJ ive never made an AMV before but god do i wanna. maybe i’ll attempt one in december when i have my christmas break off school?? i need an editing software fhdgdsjhfgsjd if any of yall know one thats free or cheap please lmk. the AMV itself i picture in black, white and bright pink. its inspired by another planetary go AMV, an undertale one from like 4/5 years ago. its how i first found the song so i always associated those colours with it lol.

I’m gonna go through it lyric by lyric and try to describe things the best i can DSHFGDSH im mentally ill sorry <3 ALSO this has a lotta spoilers for lore i havent talked about at ALL if yall wanna hit up my inbox after and ask for more explanation feel free lol

There might be something outside your window But you'll just never know I picture Jay standing by a window looking out it, on the second line he turns away and walks off. the art is white with black lines. There could be something right past the turnpike gates But you'll just never know we see Jay walking down the street holding a camera. He stops at the burnt down remains of Karen Doggers’s house, like in the fic i posted yesterday.

If my velocity starts to make you sweat Then just don't let go And if the heaven ain't got a vacancy Then we just, then we just, then we just, then we just Get up and go Just Jay looking around the house, again like in my fic. We see him get scared by Zalgo appearing behind him and we see him grinning wide, setting him up as a somewhat important character in the narrative. I think. During the instrumentals it’s the general credits and stuff.

Ladies and gentleman, truth Is now acceptable fame Is now injectable process the progress These lines are black with white lineart. We get shots of Doby just living his best life, being a murderer and having fun. The only colour on him is the pink of his goggles, which obscures his eyes.

This core is critical faith Is unavailable lives Become incredible now Please understand that With each line another character appears. Each one is another that works for The Operator like Doby does. ‘‘This core is critical’‘ is Dana (OC), ‘‘Faith is unavailable’‘ is Godfrey (OC), ‘‘Lives become incredible’‘ is The Operator, ‘‘Now’‘ is Toby and ‘‘Please understand that’‘ is our main man Doby

I can't slow down I won't be waiting for you I can't stop now because I'm dancing Some imagery of Doby running off away from Jay. This isn’t literally happening, it’s more a way of showing that Jay feels abandoned and betrayed.

This planet's ours to defend Ain't got no time to pretend Don't fuck around, this is our last chance More stuff showing The Operator’s proxies. Godfrey tells Doby not to fuck around and shoves him. Toby catches him and the other proxies all glare at him. Fuck Godfrey he’s the worst.

If my velocity starts to make you sweat Then just don't let go We see Jay and Zalgo sitting in a cafe together. Jay is obviously nervous about something, and sweating. On ‘’don’t let go’’ Zalgo grabs his hand from across the table 'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy And we just, and we just, and we just, and we just Get up and go Zalgo is the one saying the line about the emergency room. He’s convincing Jay to do his bidding. We see the two shake hands.

they want you to be (Who) they wanted to see (Go) kill the party with me and never go home We see Jay doing things for Zalgo, completely unaware that he’s being manipulated into doing his bidding. Zalgo pretends to help him. On ‘‘Who they wanted to see’‘ we see Jay being shown a picture of Doby. Who they want you to be Who they wanted to see Just leave the party with me and never go home We see Doby again, still being a murderer and having fun. On the last line we see him running along with Toby.

You're unbelievable Ah, so unbelievable Ah, you ruin everything Oh, you better go home Jay is the one saying these lines. He’s looking over photos and footage of Doby. He’s mad, he feels abandoned, and like Doby doesn’t care about what it is he’s doing. He wants his friend to come back home.

I'm unbelievable Yeah, I'm undefeatable Yeah, let's ruin everything, blast it to the back row Doby is the one saying this. He isn’t having fun this time though. He’s talking with Toby and Dana. On the last line Godfrey bursts into the room and gets mad at them

They sell presentable Young, and so ingestible Sterile and collectible Safe, and I can't stand it Godfrey summons The Operator and he tries to attack the three of them. Dana defends them, attacking The Operator on ‘’Safe, and I can’t stand it.’’ This is a letter, my word Is the beretta, the sound Dana yells at Toby and Doby to run of my vendetta Against the ones that planned it We see Toby and Doby run out of the shack and away from The Operator. They’ve never been able to escape him before, and they weren’t prepared to leave, so they’re scared.

If my velocity starts to make you sweat Then just don't let go We get a shot of Toby looking scared and nervous. On the second line Doby takes his hand 'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy Tell me who do you trust, do you trust And we just get up and go We see Jay laying in his bed, asleep. He hears knocking on the window and gets up. He opens the window and sees Doby grinning at him. He was NOT READY FOR THAT OK HE WAS NOT

Who they want you to be Who they wanted to see (Go) kill the party with me and never go home Ok this parts kinda fast but I’ll try to get through it. Doby and Jay hug, then it cuts to the two of them plus Toby sitting on the bed talking. On ‘’kill the party with me’’ Godfrey BUSTS into the room, attacks Toby and Doby and then Jay fuckin smacks him over the head with a baseball bat. The three of them start arguing and then Jay points at the window in fear. Who they want you to be Who they wanted to see Just leave the party with me and never go home Hobo Heart is at the window. This makes sense in context I promise. He motions for Toby and Doby to follow him. Doby and Jay exchange a look and Doby follows after him. Things get a little rough from around here to the end of the song im sorry HDSFGJDSGJ

You keep eternity, give us the radio Deploy the battery, we're taking back control Doby and Toby are the ones speaking here. They’re in Slender Mansion now, getting ready to fight. Engage the energy, light up the effigy We see Jay again, tying Godfrey to a chair like a reasonable human being. On ‘’light up the effigy’’ his phone lights up. Zalgo is calling him. No chance to take it slow By now I'm sure you know, know, know, know, know (one, two, three, four) We see Jay freak out and Z’s appear in his eyes. Godfrey climbs out of the chair and looks at him. Get up and go Jay, who’s now under Zalgo’s control, follows Godfrey out of the house

they want you to be (Who) they wanted to see (Go) kill the party with me and never go home Who they want you to be Who they wanted to see Just leave the party with me and never go home We see quick shots of various characters all fighting here, including Doby and Toby. Masky does something cool here but I won’t say what

Are we still having fun? Are you holding the gun? We see Doby and Jay recovering from a fight. Doby turns around and sees Jay, who points a gun at him. Take the money and run We'll never go home Jay fires at Doby and Toby lunges at him, fighting him until he runs off

I've got nothing to lose You've got nothing to say And we're leaving today We'll never go home Toby turns and tries to run over to Doby, but a huge crack in the ground appears. Toby tries to jump it but he doesn’t make it and is left clinging to the edge. We get a shot of Doby, laying on the ground, too pained to help his friend. Then we see Toby lose his grip

I think I better go now I think I better go now I think I better go now (go home) Gonna go now, gonna go now, gonna go now, gonna go now Go now, gonna go now Go home Some shots of Zalgo in his true form fighting against someone. Then it cuts to Jay stumbling through the woods. He stops against a tree, then collapses. A picture of himself of Doby flies out of his pocket and towards the camera. It’s the final thing you see.

Jay is a sobbing, bloody mess on the floor by the time Echo stops. He didn’t limit it to the dagger, either- he used so many weapons that Zane stopped counting, and there were times when he dropped them all together and just beat the shit out of him.

He puts all the weapons away, and he erases the line of code, allowing Zane to actually be able to think properly again.

‘You’re a monster.’

Zane’s snarled insult is ignored, and Echo goes and grabs… medical supplies? Why-

He sits down beside Jay, forcing him to sit up and lean against the wall. He cries out when he does, voice clearly raw from his previous screaming.

“Please- no- no more.” He begs, voice barely above a whisper.

“I’m just patching you up. We’re done for now.” Echo assures. “I don’t want you to die or anything.”

Jay looks relieved, but he’s clearly still in intense pain.

Echo wipes away his tears with a sigh. “Were you this noisy then, too?” He complains, shaking his head.

‘Look, I don’t know what he did, but this is not the answer! You can let him go and find some other solution to-‘

“No.” Echo interrupts, starting to clean out some of the bloody gashes he had made. “I need him to hurt.”

Jay winces as his injuries are tended to. “Are you talking to Zane?” He gets out weakly, something- likely hope- dawning in his eyes at the thought. “Can- can he hear me?”

Echo pauses a moment before answering. “He can, yeah. Nothing he can do about it other than watch, but…” He trails off with a shrug, going back to cleaning out the gashes and starting to apply a salve to some of the worse ones.

The relieved expression on Jay’s face is confusing. Why is he reassured by the fact that his teammate has to watch him get tortured?

“So, Z- Zane-“

“He can’t answer you.” Echo interrupts, seeming satisfied with how he cleaned them and starting to wrap them in gauze.

“He doesn’t have to.” Jay defends himself, still with a tremor in his voice. “I’m used- used to one-sided conversations anyway.”

Zane decides to humor him, replying even if only Echo can hear.

‘That’s because you talk so much no one else can get a word in.’

“Anyway, how have- how have you been?” Jay gives a strained smile as Echo starts getting more rough with his treatments, clearly trying to make him shut up.

‘Take a guess. And you don’t look that gr-‘

“I’m doing… okay, I- I guess. Could- could be better. Could be a lot better, but I’m not- not dead, so there’s that.”

‘And that’s what I meant about talking too much.’

Echo clenches his teeth. “Stop it, both of you- or next time I’ll use a branding iron.”

Jay falters, eyes widening in fear. “I, uh… okay.” He caves, voice shaking.

‘Leave him alone!’

“You know, I can always grab another one of your teammates if you want to keep whining about this one.” Echo threatens.

Zane shuts up.

Echo seems satisfied with this as he finishes wrapping up the gauze. “I dislocated your shoulder, I’m going to have to pop it back in place. On three, okay?”

“I know the- the ‘on three’ trick, you- you lie and do it on tw- SHIT!” Jay’s comment turns to a cry of pain as Echo pops the joint back into place.

“There we go.”

“Fuck you.” Jay glares, but he’s so weak that it barely has any heat behind it.

Echo starts testing for broken bones, pressing in the skin, which makes Jay wince and cry out. “Mmm… closed greenstick fracture on the arm…” He mutters to himself.

“What does that mean?” Jay seems to have regained some of his strength- likely through sheer willpower and spite.

“It means I broke your arm.” Echo explains. “If I were a doctor, I’d recommend getting the swelling down so I could put it in a cast.” He wraps his hand around the site of the injury and squeezes.

Another screaming sob is torn from the blue ninja.

“But as we are… I think I’ll just leave it like this.” Echo decides, pulling his hand back. He resumes testing for broken bones.

“Another closed greenstick fracture on the ribs… ooh, you’re going to be coughing up blood.” Echo seems unhappy with this. “I’m going to have to go easy on your chest for a while.”

Jay nods, but it’s clear that he’s not really paying attention. His eyes have begun to close- his adrenaline rush has probably ended by now.

Echo shakes his head and moves Jay so he’s laying on his side. “I’m going to have to watch you to make sure you don’t choke on your own blood.” He mutters.

“I’mma go to sleep.” Jay slurs.

“You do that. I’ll be here when you wake up.” The words that would normally be comforting are twisted because of circumstance.

So he sits there as Jay’s eyes close and his breathing evens out.

‘Please, Echo, let him go. Hurt me instead, if you have to. Just don’t-‘

“No.” Echo’s tone brooks no room for argument. “He has to suffer for what he’s done.”

‘But-‘

“Shut up.” Echo snaps. “I don’t want to hear whatever stupid excuses you have for him. I want revenge. And I know you don’t get that, because you still abide by your original programming- to protect those who cannot protect themselves. But I don’t. I’m free of that.”

‘I’m not asking you to go out of your way to protect people, I’m asking you to not go out of your way to hurt them!’

“And I’m ignoring you because I’m going to do what I want with or without your approval.” Echo shoots back.

‘PLEASE, just-‘

“If you don’t stop talking, I’ll get another one of your friends.” Echo threatens.

Zane reluctantly stops. He’ll- he’ll find a way to minimize the damage he’s doing. He’ll find a way to protect Jay better.

But is he going to be able to find it before it’s too late?

[topconfessions]

I'm addictive to your bloog lol is so funny and diverse xd soo giirl spell the tea with rihanna and beyonce, I find hipocrital she defend Megan immediately buut when Chris brown beat rihanna in 2009 she never said something in her favor, alsoo all this year in the industry and they never collab she collab with Megan before Rih?? Like is obvios be have something with rihanna is too obvious now

it’s been obvious? the media and hollywood has conjured up the usage of fanbases to keep the masses wired down and bickering at each other. it’s bullshit. back in the day (I’m 26 but I grew up with hollywood tea always spilled around me pre internet age*) people picked up on stuff between celebs and saw it for what it was. Now people wanna act brand new and deny obvious stuff.

Rihanna had a fling with Jay-Z when he signed her and it went on up till around / slightly after good girl gone bad era. Everyone knows they slept together and had something going on. Beyonce is a weak woman in my eyes please folks stop taking her stage persona and hollywood facade as gossipal. Pay attention to the old days and old bey. she’s a shy semi introverted and insecure woman who let a mega rapper rob her of her youth and sexual identity for most of her life (if we are suppose to buy the BS she never fucked anyone but him and never took breaks from him to date a few others*) since 19.

She needs to stop blaming women for bs and look towards the man. Rihanna don’t owe her anything and it’s every woman for themselves to get where they need to be. She knew and does know what kind of person Rihanna is. But yeah this is ancient tea.  Everyone knows that Beyonce has an unspoken rule that they will never ever work together. Rihanna is at a point in her career where she don’t need to work with Bey and she don’t even want to produce music period anymore it’s obvious.

Also I mean no direspect but people can get offended if they want to. Causes this current generation and racial tensions are making african american female artists or people in general into magical unciorns who aren’t exempt from making mistakes, being uncouth or unladylike, trashy, messy, or just presenting themselves in an unfavorable way but presenting it as “culture” and wrapping it with a bow of “bad bitch savage get money independent energy”. Nobody has the guts to speak out and call out the obvious that beyonce despite having enough money to be refined and educated at a higher level..........is NOT an articulate woman. She has a great work ethic and is talented and makes the right business moves but it’s all tied to her sex appeal her entire career among other things.

I’ll call it out point blank: she will work with unrefined women like Meg and Nicki a million times over before someone like rihanna. Now rihanna is always on her bs too but she is not of the...how do I say..she’s not on the sell out body morphing dumbing down type of route. I am neutral on Meg although I’m glad we have variety from Nicki now cause Nicki robbed lil kim and cardi & Meg are Nicki Minaj’s karma cause she got too confident thinking she’d be queen b of rap for this gen forever. Anyways, Nicki and Meg are not aspiring nor can they ever get into beyonce’s glamour lane where she kinda makes her self diverse (or tries to). Meg and Nicki minus Nicki’s pop crossover appeal to very urban men and rich non african americans who are always on trends and waves.

 simply put: Rihanna is different and has her own unique type of influential vibe despite not being as “talented” as Bey. Beyonce recognizes this and doesn’t want to have to collab with someone who won’t be under thumb or mega grateful as it would be a power imbalance depsite the youth seeing it as Bey feat. Rihanna.

nicki and meg need bey more than Rihanna does. Rihanna relationship with the billionaire arab man didn’t work out cause of her not budging to the culture among other things with her personality. If rihanna was truly desperate or willing to settle she could have abided by everything like Janet Jackson did and been set for a good while. Rihanna had a miscarriage as well by the arab guy and also did some messy stuff in Dubai that was covered up by her having a report out that she got into a motorscooter accident when she was really hit by someone.

Anyways, notice rihanna (even if she has poor taste in men which she does *) never settles for men even if they are out of her league respectfully or got something she don’t? if beyonce was rihanna she would have adapted to saudi man and been a sell out. Rihanna leaves a lot of relationships and while it’s 50/50 good and bad I commend her for knowing her worth even if she tends to downgrade aka arab billionaire to the asap rocky. And I suspect the arab guy had MAJOR pull in her getting and sustaining that LVMH deal for fenty beauty. Isn’t it ironic that rihanna has this going on for herself but beyonce doesn’t? you’d think beyonce would have this all going for herself?

think about it.

I told you not to buy those Garanimal clothes, girl. -- Soren Hawkins

A NOTE FROM ADMIN B:  It’s always wonderful seeing people return to us, especially when they’ve been with us for as long as you have, Kate! We’ve missed the icon that is Soren on the dash, and can’t wait to see her getting back amongst it!

OOC NAME/ALIAS, PREFERRED PRONOUNS, AGE & TIMEZONE: kate thee stallion. also known as it was me for him. still the girl drake is pining after.

DESIRED CHARACTER: soren hawkins. i don’t know a better person. 

HOW ACTIVE WILL YOU BE? living here rent free since 2014.

SECONDARY CHOICE: it’s not realistic. but imani. 

DESCRIBE THE CHARACTER: 

To put it simply: Soren is THAT girl. Headstrong, opinionated, outspoken. She’s the first person to speak up and the last person to turn on you. She’s loyal and fun and everything you’d want in a friend. No one has anything bad to say about her. If she ever cussed you out, you deserved it. Got read? You needed that reality check and it was better from her. Her confidence can be overwhelming but she’s just trying to fake it until she makes it. Like any soon to be 20something she’s struggling with herself. What does she want out of life? love? her friendships? Her transition into adulthood has been quite the ride and with the help of her friends and family it’s only getting crazier. 

SAMPLE WRITING: 

Everyone knew that Soren was the life of the party. With her ability to get different crowds off their feet; it was her calling. Her skills had reached a fever pitch tonight though. Half of Rosewood was stuck up and the other half was rhythmless but the dance-floor was overflowing with bodies. She didn’t have to do much either; her energy was infectious. The crowd had only died down to get wrapped up in a dance battle between her and the boys. It had ended in a tie. And, like always, she protested, “Fake news!” But the real proof of her magic was Bra sweating her for a dance. He’d tell a different story in the morning but so would she.

She was drunk. He tripped. It was dark. Etcetera, etcetera, blah, blah, blah.  Their relationship was a tricky one because they both avoided the truth like the plague. Maybe there was something more between them than jocularity and stolen kisses they never talked about but they’d have to admit it first. Instead Bra made fun of her age and first world problems and Soren’s slick mouth never stopped running. In other words: they were frontin’.  

Which was appropriate since Jay Z’s verse on the song of the same name picked up right after Pharrell’s crooning. “Every time your name was brought up I would act all nonchalant in front of an audience,” he rapped as Soren pressed her backside firmly into Bra’s front. Stevie Wonder could see how good of a time they were having together. Luckily Siobhan was too busy with Kid and Dylan and Play were arguing over something stupid so they were in the clear.

They were five songs deep before blue and red lights flashed, flooding through the front window and painting their brown skin a lazy purple; As much as it seemed like tonight was going to be the night they admitted something to themselves and each other — fate had far more sinister plans. Fate…or racism. “Where’s everybody at? My sister? Kid?” She panicked, looking around the otherwise dark room. Growing up with a silver spoon didn’t hide the dangers of the police and a bunch of black kids and she was in meltdown mode. Soren went outside on impulse only to be met with a sight that made her heart sink.

The rest of the story goes as follows: Privileged black kid tries to calm officer down, racist cop ignores, kid’s best friend defends, racist cop brandishes his gun, black kid and co. hit the sidewalk, cop arrests innocent black boys, wash, rinse, repeat. 

Soren could hear her heartbeat in her ears and her hands hadn’t stopped shaking since she watched her friends get carted off in a squad car. She practically vibrated with anger and frustration. Tonight they were only arrested, but it could’ve been much worse, she couldn’t help but imagine their faces on the poster at some march, their families mourning. She hated how defenseless she felt. She wanted her power back.

“So much for having a good ass night,” she spoke up from the backseat breaking the somber silence as they drove to the police station (careful to follow every rule of the road). Humor was her only defense. There was a pause followed by a short laugh.

Everything was going to be okay.

ANYTHING ELSE? 1985. gang gang.

The Plight of the Pick Me

I’ve said this before and I’m sure I’ll say it again: Y’all hate women.

If anything, this has been made exponentially clear in the aftermath of Tristan Thompson’s cheating finally striking a nerve with Khloe Kardashian. You’ve been watching the fallout (unless your wifi got cut off or something), and you know that somehow Kylie Jenner’s (ex) best friend Jordyn Woods is bearing the brunt of the blame.

How.

This is not the first (or the second) time that we’ve been on Tristan Cheating alert. Add to that the fact that it’s super hazy if Tristan cheated on his pregnant girlfriend with Khloe to begin with -- and by hazy, I mean not hazy at all. And he cheated on Khloe when she was pregnant too.

All signs point to this man being a hoe and a unsuitable partner, but Khloe has convinced herself that Jordyn is the reason her family has been ripped apart.

Do you know why? Because even women hate women.

Let’s backtrack just a bit. Jordyn has now spoken out publicly, saying that Tristan initiated the kiss. She said there was no making out, no tongue and no sex. She alleges that she lied to the Kardashian family because she was scared. And you know what? I absolutely believe her. Why? Because the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner will always work harder.

Don’t get me wrong. The child was wrong, but the level of backlash she’s getting is unwarranted.

Back to the current promo material for Keeping Up With the Kardashians: Khloe and her posse are now online publicly bullying a 21-year-old about ruining her family, the child is getting death threats, and Tristan Thompson done fucked shit up and hahs evacuated the premises to have pasta with yet another fling. Khloe is legit online cussing Jordyn out and protecting Tristan because hEs ThE fAtHeR oF heR cHilD.

What in the “the family fucked my husband” is really going on here?

Our socialized urge to absolve men of guilt by transferring it to the women is not the only example of our inherent misogyny. We’ve also been socialized to distrust women and that rears its ugly head in many ways -- from disbelief and conspiracy theories when women come forward about rape and sexual assault to the way women love boasting that they have no women friends.

My Mimi will say to me that she doesn’t understand why I have so many female friends and why I let them in my business because when she was growing up she only had one girlfriend. All her other friends were men. I get her point, but the language is problematic af.

It’s important to acknowledge that a lot of that behavior stems from the fact that women are socialized to see other women as competition for the affections of a Good Man. We’re taught that the things we do affect how Good of a Man we end up with -- which is obviously some bullshi.

We don’t see women as allies, we see them as opponents to “outwoman” in order to snag the man.

Pick me’s are just women who still subscribe to that in a big way. There are enough of us who know that someone being a good man is less about the woman you are and exponentially more about who the man is.

We’ve been taught this myth that finding and keeping a good man is more reliant on what a woman does than a man’s character. If someone is trash, they gon be trash. Nothing you do will make them not be trash because that behavior isn’t about you.

I can guarantee that my ex is somewhere calling me a hoe. We were together for 8 years and in that time frame he cheated more times than I probably know about, got at least one girl pregnant, and emotionally abused the hell out of me. Breaking up was always the most logical decision, but I had to learn the hard way that there was nothing I could do to save that man from himself.

I stayed so long because I had put in the work, I had forgiven so much and bitten my tongue so often that he just had to get it right. He never did. I couldn’t save him, so I finally decided to save myself.

And that’s where the pick me comes in.

A pick me still fully supports the emotional labor of trying to turn a man into a Good Man. Since that’s an impossible feat, they spend a lot of time being mistreated by men who take advantage of their willingness to carry the relationship. These men are not good men, and they don’t wanna be good men, and they don’t have to be good men.

(I should mention here that no man, even a genuinely good man, is perfect. But no woman is either. )

The issue with a pick me is not that she chooses bad apple men in hopes that following Good Woman rules will make them shiny and new again. The rest of us can’t be mad that you’re taking them off our hands, you’re honestly doing the Lord’s work.

The problem with a pick me is that she’s fucking PISSED at the rest of us who refuse to abide by those rules. She stans for T.I. and Tiny’s relationship and she defends Rasheeda in the IG comments. She’s blasting Future, screaming “fuck Ciara” at the top of her lungs until the end of time. Why? Because Ciara said fuck this bullshit and found a good man and sis is a ride or die.

“Why leave a sure thing for a maybe?” they ask. But if the real sure thing is simply that you’re just going to keep getting hurt and you’ll never actually be happy, maybe starts looking a lot more attractive.

She probably still doesn’t see why Offset crashing Cardi’s set to apologize for cheating on her was a problem. The fact that Offset cheated on Cardi, that Jay Z cheated on Beyonce is literally all the proof one should need to realize that a man’s behavior is not rooted in who his woman is.

To be mad at other women for being their true selves and still getting chosen because you’re following these rules and still barely happy is as “I hate women” as Mike Pence. A man will never chose you if you’re not what he wants and there’s really no way to change that. Pretending will only get you but so far. So be yourself and be happy, sis.

Okay I’m about to spill some tea

SO “oh look, taylor swift is dragging up past drama to sell her new album, look at her playing the victim again, you’re still over”

is what all the haters happen to be screaming (among over ridiculous things) tonight, following the release of Look What You Made Me Do, the lead single to Swift’s 6th album: Reputation. But let’s take a little trip down memory lane to see if Taylor really is playing the victim. Hold on ladies, it’s gonna be a long one. 

2006-2008  

Taylor broke out in 2006, and when Love Story stormed the charts in late 2008 she became a global superstar and thus named “America’s Sweetheart” a bittersweet and dangerous title for any young female star, because it’s so easy to fall from the top. She was immediately held to an impossibly high standard of perfection, in every aspect of her life, and she handled this with grace. 

2009 - early 2012

We know what happened here, no real need to recap, but the result of this event was Kanye being thought of internationally as a horrific bully. Which he is and continues to be until this day. Taylor went on to be the youngest artist to win album of the year at the Grammys, the world so does love an underdog. 

Taylor responded to West the way she knows best: song-writing. she released her phenomenal 3rd album Speak Now and it featured a heart-breaking track named Innocent. 

It's okay, life is a tough crowd 32, and still growin' up now Who you are is not what you did. You're still an innocent.

Swift, aged only 20, twelve years junior to her bully, responded maturely, forgiving him. At the same time she wrote a grammy-award-winning anti-bullying anthem of the name “Mean,” said to be about a critic who wasn’t constructive in his criticism, just plain cruel. 

Soon after a standing ovation at the 2012 grammys, Swift brought the speak now era to a close.

Late 2012 - 2014

Taylor’s award winning curls disappeared with the release of her Hunger Games singles, and shortly after, she released We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Now 22, Swift was growing up, and, if you’ll pardon the pun, the release of the Red album caused a swift departure for her “sweetheart” title. Suddenly the romantic theme to her music was causing people to role their eyes. 2013 was a year of jokes about lists of ex-boyfriends, “keep your sons, brothers, dads and boyfriends away from Miss Swift, she’s destroy them, try to bury them with a song.” This is where the words “Playing the victim” first appeared. She was no longer seen as an innocent princess, the grown woman began to wear less fairy-tale-esque clothing, in favour of her now infamous black shorts. she attended award shows, knowing full well she was going to have to take an insult on the chin, and no one would stand up for her. Everyone was laughing. Her unforgettable but brief romance with Harry Styles caused insane online backlash, his fans taking her reputation for writing about personal relationships as an excuse to tear apart their relationship. Just one of many examples of the opinions of people that don’t know her, have never met her, believe they have a right to bad mouth her because “she’s Taylor Swift” 

2014 - 2017

The released of the record-breaking 1989 album saw Taylor win back her popularity for the first time since before Styles. She declared that she could not be thrown off her game by her haters in “shake it off” insisting she will be herself more. But the real take down came in the form of “blank space.” Her satirical chart-topper saw her take back the narrative for the first time. She stated that she decided to play by their [the media’s] rules, writing and performing from the point of view of the “jet-setting man-eating psycho” they insisted she was. And the media, fickle as ever, lapped up every word. Impressed this silly little girl had played them at their own game, they placed her back on the pedestal.

Thus began the age of the “squad” 

Taylor’s Victoria Secret Performance allowed her to form friendships with the angels, and the media nicknamed her ever-growing group of friends a “squad.” People mistakingly believed Taylor had formed this squad as an clique, an army against her latest enemy, Ex-BFF Katy Perry. We all know the details of their feud and Taylor’s smooth take-down track Bad Blood. I guess I can forgive the confusion, but members of the so called squad have stated that it’s not a clique, it’s just a support group of mostly women. Taylor had bitten back at the media’s representation of her, calling them out for being sexist. I however, personally don’t see it as sexism. I see it as bullying. The simple fact is that no other celebrity on the planet get attacked so much for so little crimes as Taylor Swift. This “squad” theory began positively but soon took a dark turn, as numerous times Taylor Swift was referred to as a “Regina George” Who famously played the victim in the 2004 blockbuster hit “Mean Girls” despite secretly being the mean girl herself. 

 Following her new popularity, an old ghost made an appearance in her life. With encouragement from their mutual friend Jay-Z, Taylor Swift and Kanye West made up. 

Taylor even presented an award to him, mocking the infamous  statement: “Imma let you finish...” by ending it with “but Kanye West has had one of the best careers of all time” The legendary feud was over. Taylor was on top of the world. 

Or so we thought. With the release of Kanye West’s “Famous” came a rather degrading lyric: 

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn) I made that bitch famous”

Once again, we know the details. Taylor’s not completely innocent, maybe she shouldn’t have claimed she knew nothing of it. But take away your opinions on Miss Swift. Imagine if someone who bullied you, humiliated you, suddenly wanted to end all strife and flaunt an alliance. You’d jump at the chance, I know I would, and have. Taylor has previously proved to be the forgiving type, and in that phone call you can hear how eager she is to please. I believe Taylor did not understand exactly how degrading the finally song would sound, brushing her off, taking credit for her success, coupled with a video depicting a life-like naked wax figure of her he commissioned thousands into making right beside him in large bed full of controversial figures, including sex offenders and abusers. Imagine that had happened to YOU. Not Taylor Swift Trademark, the untouchable millionaire business woman, but a real woman, with real feelings. You would be scared. You’d be filing restraining orders. She had trusted him and let him in. He humiliated her for a second time, and in her panic she responded badly. 

And yet, for some reason, the world took his side. This degrading song and disgusting video was somehow righteous over obscuring a little truth. Taylor’s response to the video release was such:

The internet wasn’t having it though. The final sentence became her death sentence, and thus began a meme and a #/taylorswiftisoverparty. Fans of Swift did try to defend her, but they also knew that Miss Swift was definitely not over. 

2017 (present day)

Finally I have reached the release of “Look What You Made Me Do” the lead single of Swift’s 6th and highly anticipated album “Reputation” 

So now we have tracked the history of Taylor “Playing the victim” I would very much like to address why LWYMMD is certainly not her playing it. I would like to push Kanye, Kim, and Katy aside, their actions were not to be admired, but this post is ultimately about the media and the public’s opinion of Miss Swift. 

SO LETS ANALYSE SHALL WE:

The role you made me play Of the fool, no, I don't like you I don't like your perfect crime How you laugh when you lie You said the gun was mine

It was the media and the public that insisted that Taylor was two faced, a snake, they forced her to play a role in their narrative. This public side of the role was like a villain, and the real way they played her was as a fool. The Media tricking her into trusting them, and then pushing her off the pedestal they put her on. 

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined

Swift is no longer playing nice. Did everyone really expect her to lie down and let Kanye win? She’s out for revenge, and so she should be. 

I don't like your kingdom keys They once belonged to me You ask me for a place to sleep Locked me out and threw a feast (what?) The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours

This is a general address to those who supported her through her success at the start of the 1989 era, and then abandoned her when she fell from grace. They labelled it as Taylor getting what was coming to her, but she knows that eventually the tables will turn again and their time on the chopping block will come. 

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams

Their betrayal has lead to her inability to trust, and as she says, they all believe she’s a snake, she’s two-faced, if they don’t get her first she’ll get them. Her insane success has made her “untrustworthy”  The world is forcing her to be someone she’s not. 

"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now." "Why?" "Oh, 'cause she's dead!" (ohh!)

This tongue-in-cheek spoken part is almost a throwback to Blank Space, she joins the taylor swift is over party, okay, we’ll play it your way, just before  I destroy you. It also sadly suggests that their cruelty and endless abuse killed the forgiving version of her. 

Ooh, look what you made me do Look what you made me do

At first, I didn’t quite get this line. She hasn’t done anything yet? What have they made her do? But then it clicked. They made her be a part of the narrative she wanted to be excluded from. They asked for her to play the bad guy, they insisted on her Villainous persona. They insisted she was a snake. So they made her become the snake. 

Taylor has never once purposely “Played the victim.” Swift does not want to be the victim. So, this time around, she’s not forgiving. She’s not crying. She’s not ignoring it. She’s fighting it. Taylor Swift is angry, self-aware enough to know at this point she has no other route to take, bar buying an island and never being heard from again. She’s claiming her own fury, her own narrative, her own reputation. 

And she’s out for blood.

Hiss Hiss.

She doesn't know how to inhabit this new paradigm of her life: a new job, a new house, without her old friends and their evenings at Josie's. A new Karen, changed, in ways she hasn't yet explored.

Frank turns to see Karen there in the doorway, standing out against the dingy walls and muted colors.

“Hey,” he responds, and feels the smile tug at his lips. He can’t help it. He’s not surprised she managed to find him here, she’s a damn good journalist after all.

“Is she a friend?”

He shrugs, though it’s a stiff movement. He knows he should just say yes, because it’s not untrue, because it’s the easiest way to explain what Karen is to him. But it also feels wrong, because friend seems like such an easy word to hold the complicated swirl of emotion he feels when he thinks about Karen. It’s both too much and too little to describe what she is to him -- a person who has been ally and advocate and antagonist all rolled into one, whose name has been both an invocation and affliction, whose memory sets off a warning light behind his eyes and a low, steady burn of longing across his veins.

Another Perfect Catastrophe -5

AUTHOR: Mikimoo PAIRING: JayDick RATING: Mature

WARNINGS: Non Consensual drug use, Non Consensual touching, Non Consensual kissing, humour, slight mayhem

SUMMARY: Dick goes undercover as himself in order to catch a gang of international thieves. Jason reluctantly tags along as his long suffering bodyguard. During the ensuing mayhem they get to know each other again and build a few bridges.

Thank you to burkesl17 for the beta!

Notes: An embarrassingly long time ago, the amazing and very, very talented Pentapus invited me to do a reverse bang style exchange, and drew me an amazing prompt. I have no idea how this story was the one that emerged from the many options I had, but such is the creative process I guess! Anyhoo, many thanks to Pentapus for both encouragement and patience, and of course the incredible art! (which will be included at the end of the appropriate chapter)

Chapters: 1, 2, 3 4

GO HERE FOR THE AMAZING ART BY THE AWESOME PENTAPUS! 

He found them in the small sitting room. Dick was sprawled in a chair, glassy eyed and sweating while Sofia unbuttoned his shirt. He didn’t look like he minded, but he also looked completely wasted on whatever they had given him. 

Jason paused to assess, moving too soon might not be the best option, but waiting while they molested Dick was not an easy choice to make, and went against every instinct he had. He grit his teeth as Sofia tugged on Dick's hair, manoeuvring him for a kiss. The new position of his face meant Jason was now in his line of sight and he suddenly attempted to sit up, dislodging the girl with ease. “Jay! I’m on drugs!” he said, happily.

Thanks Dick. Who needs the element of surprise anyway? Unfortunately, Celia seemed to agree and she stepped forward and pressed the muzzle of a small but powerful handgun to Dick’s sweaty temple. His eyes crossed as he tried to look at it. The expression was daft and annoyingly adorable. Jason had clearly lost all control over his hormones on this trip.

“Don’t even think about it, Jase,” Celia said. “Hands on your head and step forward.”

Jason sighed and did as he was told. He could still gain the upper hand in a couple of moves, but he needed to play it carefully as Dick was clearly out of his mind and might accidentally stumble into a bullet if they started shooting. Better to play it safe.

“Listen, Ms Denbury. I don’t give a shit what you do, you want to rob him? Blackmail the old man? Go for it, I’m not going to stop you. We'll do what you say.”

“Your cooperation would benefit us both,” she said, pleased. “Put these cuffs on.” She chucked him a pair of simple handcuffs. They really were ridiculously sloppy. He cuffed his own wrists in front of himself and rested his hands casually in his lap. He could wait for the right moment.

“Hello, Jason!” Dick said, as Sofia slipped his shirt over his shoulders, revealing the myriad of scars across his torso.

“Whoa,” Jack said.

Sofia ran her fingers across a healed gash that bisected Dicks left nipple. Her brows creased in confusion.

“This shit isn’t normal, what the fuck?” Jack said, wide eyed.

Time for damage control, the last thing Jason needed was for them to get twitchy and trigger happy. “Don’t you people read the tabloids?” he said, scornfully. “He got kidnapped and tortured as a kid. Why do you think he drinks so damn much?”

“That’s why Wayne is so ruthless about kidnap attempts,” Celia added, knowingly, clearly pleased her previous research was being backed up.

“Yeah, although he might pay up for his golden boy – but then again he might also chase you to the ends of the earth.”

Jack looked uncertain, like he actually had a brain cell and realised that attacking the family of a billionaire with connections to both the police and access to mercenary types, might be a bit of a bad idea.

Then the door opened, Henry and Garner entered with a gust of sea air. The mood in the room shifted subtly, and Jason found himself tensing. This was the real predator in the group and his gaze was flicking between Dick and Jason like a cat torn between two weak and tasty looking mice.

“Wayne has other boys,” Garner said, by way of greeting. “He seems to like them younger.” He reached out and ran his fingers though Dick's damp hair, and the drugged up moron leaned into the touch. Garner looked over his scars with interest but not a great deal of surprise, his expression was almost reverent, like they just made Dick more attractive somehow.

“Yeah, but he is fond of Richard,” Jason said, managing to keep his voice even as he watched Garner trail his fingers over Dick’s skin.

“It doesn’t bother you?” Celia asked curiously.

Jason shrugged. “Not my business. He pays me to keep an eye on Richie here, and to try to keep him out of trouble and that’s it. What the old man does and with who is irrelevant.”

“Not doing such a good job, are you?” Garner said. He was watching Jason as he pressed his lips to Dick's jaw, hoping for a reaction. Dick turned into it, allowing the fucker to kiss him fully. It looked deep and wet and turned Jason's stomach. He clenched his fists and willed himself to remain calm. Celia still had her gun aimed at Dick’s head and Henry was watching Jason carefully, the only one who seemed to view him as a threat.

“Although,” Garner continued, as he pulled away. “I can see how you might let yourself get distracted. I met Richard and Wayne once, at a function in New York. He was about fourteen or fifteen, small for his age, ridiculously pretty. None of the usual awkwardness at that age. When I shook his hand I noticed faint bruises on his wrist, and at the juncture of his throat. I wanted him, I knew he would be perfect. Wayne wouldn’t let him out of his sight though.” He skimmed the scar over Dick’s nipple. “And I can see he wasn't gentle. The kid took a lot of damage it seems.”

Jason snorted, his anger levels were not far away from boiling over. “And now, years later you have your shot at him. How lovely. Of course you have to use drugs, rather than just force.” Jason couldn't keep the disgust from his voice, for some reason it seemed to get up Garners nose and he pulled away from Dick to get in Jason's face instead.

“You have a smart tongue for someone completely in my power,” he said. It might have been menacing to someone who wasn’t Jason.

“And you're a grandstanding creep,” Jason snapped, he’d been dealing with more frightening people when he was still in diapers.

Garner slapped him hard across the face. Jason rolled with the blow, it was barely a love tap, but it did help him get his mouth under control. He had to play by their rules for now.

Dick didn’t get that memo though, and he suddenly shot to his feet and pointed a finger, slurring loudly, “Stop! Don’t hit him, you fuck-face!” Then he fell over his own feet, face first onto the plush carpet.

“Is he okay?” Jason asked when Dick didn’t immediately get back up. He was oddly touched that his being smacked around by a Z list criminal inspired Dick’s protective instincts despite the amount of drugs in his system. Or because of them.

Garner nudged Dick onto his back using the toe of his expensive loafer.

Dick blinked blearily up at him. “Did someone hit me?” he asked. “My face hurts.”

“You fell on it,” Jason told him mildly. “Defending my honour.”

Dick smiled up at him from his position on the floor. “When did you get so big, Jaybird? And so hot? You were so scrawny, all gangly with giant hands and feet like a Great Dane puppy.”

“Just how long have you two known each other?” Celia asked, suspiciously.

“A long time,” Jason told her, with only the slightest hint of scorn.

“Oh? How do a rich bitch like Grayson and a nobody like you meet?”

“He wasn’t always a rich bitch. He was just another little orphan like me. Except prettier, so he got life with a billionaire and I got to stay in the group home,” Jason lied effortlessly.

“That's really sad,” Dick said, mournful. “I'm sorry, Jay.”

Jason resisted the urge to roll his eyes and kept his expression hard.

“Enough of this nonsense,” Garner said. “Let’s get the bank details off him and then get on with things.”

Things. That was one way to put it. Jason leaned forward slightly. “That sounds ominous. If all you want is access to his bank accounts, I can provide what you need. All I care about is keeping my hide in one piece and getting Richard back to Daddy so I get paid.”

“You’ll just give us the information?”

“Yeah, why not? Safeguarding the Wayne millions isn't my job. And this counts as under duress in any case. “

“We will check, and we will seriously hurt you both if you mess us about.”

Scary stuff. He was shivering in his boots. He managed to hold back the aggrieved sigh he desperately wanted to heave and gave them the information of the very convincing but very fake account they had set up in preparation for something like this happening. And Celia, Sofia and Jack took their leave, presumably to go though the info and transfer the cash.

That left them with Henry and Garner.

Henry had a slightly disgusted look on his face, he clearly found Garner’s sadistic games distasteful. “If you’re going to play with Richie Rich here, then I'll take Jason elsewhere,” he said.

Jason suspected 'elsewhere' meant: out back for a bullet to the brain. But either way he wasn't going to leave Dick alone with Garner in this state, not even for the five minutes it would take to dispose of Henry.

“No, I want him to watch,” Garner said. His particular perversions coming to the rescue, not often you could say sexual sadism saved the day.

Henry sneered. “As you please, I’m not going to though, so you best let me secure him a bit better.”

Garner nodded absently, he had Dick off the floor and back in the chair. Although Dick was no longer being compliant and was scowling like a pouty puppy. Probably still angry about Jason being slapped earlier, which was very endearing, despite the circumstances.

Henry approached and Jason kept himself still, ignoring what was happening across the room with some difficulty. “Why do you put up with this nasty ass shit?” he asked quietly, trying to get more of a measure of the man.

“Same reason you do. Money.” He held a gun to Jason's head and forced him to his feet, before leading him to the heavy side table. He undid Jason's cuffs and redid them behind him before using a second pair and attaching him to the solid oak table.

“I'll be just outside, Garner. Shout if you need assistance.”

It took Jason thirty seconds to get the cuffs off, about as long as it took Garner to fail get control of Dick, who was trying to shove him away with all the strength of a kitten – but he was a kitten with some serious training and Garner was bleeding from the mouth where he had been bitten or scratched. He smacked Dick open handed with a blow that wouldn't even have registered for Nightwing but sent drugged up Richie sprawling across the floor. It was at about that point that Jason decided Garner was going to have to die.

Dick seemed stunned by his fall to the carpet and was curled up, facing away when Jason struck, he snapped Garner’s neck with a powerful punch and twist - not an easy move, but a brutally effective one he’d learnt from teachers he’d later put down like the scum they were.

He carefully lowered Garner’s dead weight to the floor. The guy deserved to die, and Jason felt nothing about the action itself, only a fission of regret for the arguments and stupidity that were sure to follow. But he would deal with the Bat fallout later, he didn’t have time to fight with Dick right now.

Thankfully Dick hadn’t actually noticed and was still on the floor, he appeared to be rubbing his bruised cheek on the carpet, perhaps enjoying the sensation the drugs caused him to have at the action. “Come on, Dickie,” Jason said, pulling him to his feet. “We gotta run, okay?”

“Jay, I missed you when you were dead.”

Jason blinked at him. “That’s nice? Can we go?” he said at last and Dick allowed himself to be supported as he wobbled into motion. He swayed and caught hold of Jason's jacket, burying his face in the leather with a sigh.

Jason heaved a sigh of his own. They were a long way from being out of the woods yet, and he was going to have to get them there because being taken down by this bunch of incompetent morons was just too embarrassing to contemplate. Thankfully with the blueprints in mind he knew the location to the wine cellar – there was no knowing how long they would have until their absence was noticed, so the quicker they got there the better.

Kaepernick Attorney Slams Jay-Z For 'Cold-Blooded' Deal To Promote Social Justice With NFL The Hill ^ | John Bowden - 08/20/19

OPINION:  Jay-Z is correct in to ‘Promote Social Justice With NFL.  Kaepernick only advanced himself with all that healing on the field.  First, he was an awful player from the very beginning.  

He used others in an attempt to get attention by kneeling on the field.  It was all planned from the beginning.  Most intelligent individuals could see straight through him.

And, guess what?  He was the only one on the team that benefited from his kneeling.  He’s nothing but a con-artist.  

Many of us knew what was going with him and it has proven accurate.

But this is really about race-baiters using race, once again, to gain power and control.

Blaming Sexism and Shaming Female Trump Voters For Hillary Clinton's Defeat is Beyond Pathetic

If we all had a nickel for every time Hillary Clinton blamed sexism for her election defeat, poverty would no longer exist.

With the launch of her What Happened book tour (which has been more like a comedy tour because her lack of self-awareness is hilarious), she has been reliving the 2016 election over and over and over again. The failed presidential candidate has been mocked not just by conservatives but by late-night comedians and even by some people in the media for her never-ending blame game that included James Comey, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Matt Lauer, Russia, WikiLeaks, Facebook, Fox News... you name it, she blamed it.

While passing the blame on all those things is laughable, it's when she uses sexism and misogyny as a crutch for her own self-imposed victimhood that has me chuckling. For over nine months, she has been pretending that more people hated her because she's a woman and not because she's corrupt, dishonest, un-relatable, inauthentic, and untrustworthy.

To me, it's always funny when Clinton points to sexism for her epic loss. However, I don't think it's funny when prominent, important American figures who supported her campaign do it. In fact, it's sad.

Just take a look at what said this week. First we have Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was asked by Charlie Rose if sexism played a role in the 2016 election. And big shocker, she thinks it did. She called it a "major factor."

Look, are there real misogynists out there who would hate to see a woman president? Sure, but in no way was that a "major factor" in Clinton's defeat. You know what's a major factor in her not winning Wisconsin? Not visiting Wisconsin! Even if you delve into her blame game, you can argue that Comey and maybe Russia were "major factors." We're learning more and more about Russia's efforts to influence voters on social media and pushing fake news- that if all of it was geared to take down Clinton, then she has a solid case. She certainly does with Comey, who reopened the investigation into her emails just eleven days before the election. I mean, if it weren't for Anthony Weiner being a pervert, Clinton may be sitting in the Oval Office today instead of a Barnes & Noble. But for a sitting Supreme Court judge and one as respected as Justice Ginsburg to invoke sexism so effortlessly diminishes actual sexism. Because the standard Ginsburg is setting is that if any woman doesn't get her way, she can look down at her private parts instead of taking responsibility.

And then came former First Lady Michelle Obama. In front of an audience at a conference, she insisted that "any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice," adding that they "don't like" their voices.

In other words, Michelle Obama was saying women were obligated to vote for Clinton because she was a woman. That the 43% of all women who voted Trump aren't capable of making their own decisions. Does she not understand how degrading that is? To be forced to vote for someone because you both have vaginas? I'm Jewish and not once during the election did I feel the need to vote for Bernie Sanders because he's Jewish. It'd be silly for me to vote for him because of that. Yet, such a reason was embraced by women this past election cycle from feminists like Madeleine Albright who said that there's a "special place in hell" for women who didn't support Clinton and Gloria Steinem who dismissed women who supported Bernie Sanders because they were simply chasing boys. Such characterizations for women who think for themselves instead of thinking with their ovaries is in itself sexist.

What's absolutely shameful is that this came from a First Lady and one who is so well-liked and respected as herself. However, we shouldn't be completely shocked. After all, this is the same woman that said she was proud of her country "for the first time" when her husband Barack Obama was clinching the Democratic nomination back in 2008. Apparently back then she was "going against her voice" because she didn't support Hillary Clinton. In fact, she even attacked Clinton as a wife and mother, saying "if you can't run your own house, then you certainly can't run the White House."

For Michelle Obama to delegitimize millions of female voters because they didn't vote the way she wanted them to vote is a disgrace.

What I find humorous is when Clinton supporters pretend like she was a "champion" for women. While they can point to Trump's infamous Access Hollywood tape and the numerous allegations made against him, they conveniently ignore how the former First Lady stayed married to a serial cheater and accused sexual predator just so she can ride his coattails and shamed his accusers along the way. And whether you like Trump or not, having the ghosts of Bill Clinton's past (Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey) as well as Kathy Shelton, the child rape victim whose rapist was found not guilty with the help of then-attorney Hillary Rodham, at the second debate was an evil genius move on his part, especially since Clinton put herself in a corner during the campaign saying that sexual assault victims "have the right to be believed."

Liberals refuse to acknowledge that this type of condescension and identity politics had a bigger role in Clinton's defeat than sexism ever did. Ultimately, the 2016 election came down to who had the winning message and strategy. Donald Trump ran on promising economic prosperity and strengthening national security while Clinton ran on "breaking the glass ceiling." Trump embraced the media that desperately wanted him to lose while Clinton avoided doing any interviews for nearly three months since launching her campaign and went over 200 days during the election without doing any press conferences. Trump alone excited crowds of thousands at his rallies while Clinton relied on Beyoncé and Jay Z to give free concerts. Trump represented change and Clinton represented the status quo.  You only have to compare the slogans "Make America Great Again" and "I'm With Her" to figure out who was better at connecting with voters in battleground states.

In the end, Democrats made a huge mistake making Hillary Clinton their party's nominee because she ended up being the one person who could lose to Trump. Her email scandal dogged her campaign from beginning to end and over half the population thought the FBI made the wrong decision in not pursuing charges against her. And do you want to know how sexism had little to do with Clinton's defeat? Replace her with someone likable and trustworthy like Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) or even Oprah Winfrey and they probably would have beaten Trump.

No one can stop Hillary Clinton from blaming sexism for her defeat. She's practically programmed as a default setting. But for highly-respected women like a Supreme Court justice and a former First Lady to stoop to such levels to defend the worst presidential candidate in U.S. history only makes them look pathetic.
