#do your thing swift

She's often accused of playing the victim, that's a big line in like the Kanye stuff, and so on, like she's self-victimizing. But to me, what's actually kind of interesting, and it's almost an artistic flaw of hers, is that she is unable to be the victim. Like, in Dear John, which is one of her best songs, she has that, you burned all the other girls you date out, but not me, I got your matches before you could burn me. And so like, she actually doesn't play the victim, she's just kind of honest. Like, if somebody releases a music video of you with like, a giant nude wax Taylor doll, she'll be like, that's kind of revenge porn and I don't like it. That's just hitting back, right? So like, what actually irritates people about her is her refusal to be the victim of a situation, but like, they call it playing the victim.

Cassandra and But Daddy I Love Him being two sides of the same coin

Underwater battle, underwater run Underwater ripple and some underwater fun

In Skyrim, we paddle paddle

I think it's a little disappointing that we can have waterbreathing effects in Skyrim, but we can't attack or shout. Which means we're completely vulnerable against the slaughterfish. I want to yell at fish pls

I mean we don't have underwater dungeon in Skyrim to begin with, but there are chests in the water. It's annoying when I can't swim in peace. Gonna loot fast.

Bonus:

In ESO, we die

Game over.

'Cause all of the small things that you do

Are what remind me

Why I fell for you

And when we're apart

And I'm missing you

I close my eyes

And all I see is you

(Lucy version)

what do you value most in someone?

At *least* a 2x resistance to ground type attacks. My last partner died due to a 4x weakness to earthquake and it gave me SUCH an ick :/ likeeeee I haaaaate it when my partner gets one-shot by earthquake spammers. its such a turn off.

ok i know that there are like very conservative areas where this is broadly speaking true………. but this is an insane thing to say as a universal fact lol

[asteracaea]

thinking about the line "now you try on calling me 'baby' like trying on clothes"...

...even if you don't believe this song is about a professional model...

...what man 'tries on clothes' in the way she's implying here, like for fun...

I don’t know bout you 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I’m feeling 22!!

(I’m officially the age I always wanted to be ever since Red came out)

One of my favorite things about “Dear John” is that Taylor adopted that man’s signature sound and did it better than him, all while eviscerating him.

Ok I totally get that's not how it works but ngl the fact there are some album song that simply have not been surprise songs for the eras tour annoys me.

i don't have the energy to go hunt down specific examples rn but one thing i'm thinking about rn is the times when john will get, like, angry-scared, and start being an asshole about it, and arthur will just sort of. wait him out. like that whole "you're a child wandering into a lion enclosure" convo in 16. arthur keeps disagreeing with him, but he doesn't really object to john's tone. even tho it is. very condescending. he just sorta ignores that part of it.

this is just my take on it, you could probably read it a few ways, but i think arthur's probably aware from very early on that john gets bitey when he's upset and also knows he doesn't mean most of it, and coming back at how he's phrasing things is not. going to be productive usually. so he opts to respond to what he actually means, instead. idk i like that level of like, awareness in a dynamic. that's all.

Kills me that I took a Tumblr break on the day Grace watched Materialists (which slotted in next to Captain Fantastic with movies that cut to the heart of really real personal interesting problems for me) and Cate is analyzing Marvel movies, but such is life
