I want to write thiefshipping but what I want to do is write actual thiefshipping without making an extensive AU and without toning down at all what Yami Bakura is and how he works. I want to see Marik Ishtar attempt to have his inevitably disastrous first ever teenage dream romance with a technically-incorporeal facet of an elder god whose morality and version of affection is only sort of recognizably human. All of the weird bodily autonomy stuff. The clash of their mutual myopias and the post-battle-city breakdown of Marik's god complex while Yami Bakura's remains impervious. A fleeting caricature of inexperienced romance followed by a breakup with a body count. The works.

Is Bejeweled a break up song? or a bragging song? or something else?

I think bejeweled is a lot of things. To me, it is a self-empowerment song, in all its messy glory, and learning how to stand up for yourself. Stepping into your own power is way more complicated than #girlpower, so while I think overall it does really capture the experience of reclaiming power/self esteem, it also grapples with how to express that power/autonomy (and anger over the disempowerment - being put in the basement). She is valuable, she owns it, she can choose the path her life takes, and she is choosing to go out and feel good about herself!!! Hell yeah!! Which is not to say that it doesn’t come without implications/consequences/context in the relationship. It reminds me a lot of vigilante shit: ladies always rise above ladies know what people want someone sweet and kind and fun the lady simply had enough!!! There’s a moment where something snaps. 

I think it is a song that plays in your mind when you are arguing with someone who wronged you, in the shower, alone. There’s a lot of anger at herself in it, not just at the other person. How could I have let them make me feel this way? I gave them the tools to hurt me as a fucking present!! But then the first time she says she polishes up… there’s a pause, and she says it sort of defeatedly… “nice.” I had all these great points to make about how much you hurt me but when it comes down to it, I’m just… nice, and I let it slide. Which is Immediately followed by the second verse’s pouty and weirdly kinky!!! “baby love, I think I’ve been too good of a girl” and then like a slap across the face “it’s time to teach some lessons! I made you my world (uh) have you heard (uh) I can reclaim the land!!!!” Which is where it turns full empowerment mode, to me. I AM MY OWN WHOLE WORLD! It’s over the top, it’s exaggerated, it’s pop star glitz, it’s camp!

Swifties joke around that bejeweled is a threat, and I want to validate that reading!! The sass!! She’s saying; because of how you’ve made me feel, by the way, I could “forget” I am in a committed long term relationship, and cross some lines, too. She’s not being ~nice~ here with how she talks to the other person. This song captures the ways that power can go to our heads a bit. Like realizing that you’ve been taken advantage of because of how nice you were being really fucks with how you see the spectrum of nice -> mean (or at least, this is what always happens to me!). Her words are condescending, a tad humiliating, dismissive, and tbh a little belittling! And I appreciate so so so much that Taylor is unafraid to be honest in her work. It’s not always a flattering self portrait (because non of us actually have moral purity). Who among us has not ever thought that way about someone who has hurt us? Where is the line of honesty and cruelty when someone has hurt you? That tension is extremely relatable and human. But starting off with the descriptions of how she’s been hurt, walked all over, put in the basement, she put them first and wasn’t even in their top five, definitely justifies all that anger and resentment. We see where she’s coming from, and ultimately, I support women’s wrongs lol like I love that she’s super sassy here. It goes hard and is so fun! It’s music! I just also think it’s an important element of how she approaches the “I’m hot and fuck you for hurting me” pop banger- it’s authentic and directly chews on where self worth actually comes from/where we seek it.

So, to your question, I don’t think it’s exactly a break up song, though it describes a feeling that could absolutely precede a break up. I don’t think it’s exactly a “bragging song” though it portrays a genuine self confidence. It’s an emotionally intimate study of resentment showing up in a relationship where you feel your kindness/understanding/care has not been reciprocated. To use the greatest phrase ever uttered, it is, indeed, “saucy toxic dramatic tragic” and also extremely silly.

I just find it really funny when people that got into the fandom a few days ago and are like "I watched all the variety shows and interviews and it's soooo obvious how much they disliked Seungri 🤓☝️" like ???? are you okay?? Because it must be so frustrating watching all those moments where the boys are like "Seungri is so precious to me/us, we love him a lot, he's the best maknae" the way GD is always seeking Seungri, touching him and laughing at every little thing he does, how all of them couldn't stop talking about him and TOP literally couldn't, for the love of god, stop posting pictures of him in diverse situations and the fact that YB decided to call SR before any family member or close friend and it must be so hard for you to do all those mental gymnastics to make it fit into your own narrative. Like, it may be that now they have no contact with him but from that to say that they always hated him is a reach specially when in all the time they spend together it was never brought up the narrative that they don't liked Seungri. Not even once, because it wasn't like that. You may hate him but you can't erase all those moments, happiness and hardships they shared together.

Sometimes this yin seems like shes so done with with Peter. Lol

WELL THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S FUN TO TRAUMATISED MY OC MUAHAHAHAH

(putting this on read more cuz the text is too long for this post)

ok ok so the answer is that Peter is somewhat … how do I say… very clingy XD this is the same guy who likes to watch your every move.. invade your privacy.. knock your head and chloroform you on day 2 and ko’d you behind the alley and in the van.. he even watches you sleep in your apartment let alone living with him! how is she not overwhelmed with this kind of act?? 🤺yknow that's how it goes.. 👎👎👎

but hey…. what I love about Peter is that he will protect you from the world, and is unafraid to show you, and shower you with his infinite love!

anyways, idk how to explain further, maybe you could also read this post about Peter’s pro and cons that i reblogged that other day! 🫶
