Begging swifties to understand that Taylor didn’t write reputation and Lover with the knowledge of how the relationship was going to end and that trying to “excavate” those albums for evidence to prove a specific theory as to why it ended is not how they should be viewed. Taylor wrote those songs feeling a very specific way because that’s what she was experiencing and she is now reflecting on them with hindsight and relates to them differently than when she first created them. These conflicting emotions can exist; how she views it now doesn’t diminish how she felt about it when she first released it.

dear boy is so insane to me bc even if it's not about john (and honestly I rlly dk how much I buy into the theory that it is about john- although I'd fully believe paul used john as Partial inspiration bc he loves double meaning) the fact that JOHN thought it was about john is just. soooo incredibly revealing about the relationship they had. like idk about anyone else but even if I had the world's biggest crush on my friend I would Not assume and insist that song was about me. it's genuinely so wild.

Denial prompts!
friends to lovers denial prompts 𐙚˙⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩
“whether i’m gonna be your wife or gonna smash up your bike i haven’t decided yet” જ⁀➴ ♡
[a/n: denial is a river in egypt, guys. turned this into a friends to lovers thing, hope that’s ok 💌]
a does NOT like b
b does NOT like a
but when a where’s a cute outfit b doesn’t stop staring the whole day
and when b runs their hand through their hair a can’t seem to look away
both of them have dreams about each other, stupid dreams that definitely have meanings neither of them want to unpack
they are so so clearly in denial that it’s actually painful to watch
c practically begs b to just confess to a
but whenever anyone mentions this “crush” to them they turn into a red, blabbering mess

OCTAVIA AND KLEOPATRA
listen it's like. cleopatra had gifts put aside for octavia. and livia, but that's not as interesting to me. there's an implication, and outline, of some kind of relationship, and that not all hope was lost there. yet.
Octavia Minor and the Transition from Republic to Empire, Katrina Moore
however. octavia is made of the same cloth as her brother. octavian said roman dominance: be consumed or get buried, and octavia took that directive in her hands and open mouth kissed it with tongue. mark antony never stood a chance, but this isn't about him. he was already buried, kleopatra stayed a moment longer, and octavia outlived them both. it's checkmate or nothing, baby!
