crying screaming throwing up at the latest Lionheart update – only amplified by my listening to the Tortured Poets Department (anthology) while reading. What are your favourite songs from the album? and what would be Hermione and Draco's faves?

favorites: So Long London, BDILH, Florida, Guilty as Sin, The Bolter

Guilty as Sin? is the one that I'll be using for my imaginary blorbo music videos for a while, personally. BDILH is going to be the new star-crossed-lovers edit audio on TikTok from now til the heat-death of the universe, and I personally am going to enjoy that. The Bolter is the best storytelling, and I think its specificity is its strength.

I think Hermione and Draco are 90's babies, and I have self-indulgently projected my own taste for 80's/90's altrock onto both of them. I think Daphne would go full Swiftie in a hot minute, though. Would go nuts for the Alchemy. (It's me, I'm Daph.)

#greenteacup asks #that being said. i have been listening to the alchemy on repeat for the past two hours. so.#btw I just noticed 'so high school' uses the same chord progression as 'long live' which is notoriously a prom anthem #which is why I listened to it and was like oh I love it! :) and then I was like wait. I've heard this before. why do I think I love it #wait you — YOU WROTE THIS SONG ALREADY #I DON'T like this I like the OTHER one because it played at MY prom and I have Emotional Attachments to it #which of course is part of the point. you attach yourselves to these songs because they can hold projection!#swift is fully aware of this and it's why she's pivoted towards this style of music over the more confessional parts of folklore #the last 50% of Florida is one of the best parts of her discography and florence welch should be a permanent swift producer. by the way.#and if all of florida was like that it would be on every playlist about sad blorbos until the end of TIME #but they let JACK ANTONOFF NEAR IT — no i won't speak.
