i keep coming back to 'i was a functioning alcoholic til nobody noticed my new aesthetic' because i do distinctly remember conversations about how taylor seemed to be drinking a lot more and getting drunk at like every awards show she went to. and those conversations were coming from a place of concern and of hoping that she was alright and that this wasn't a problem.
so to then say 'ugh i can't believe no one noticed this problem i had' when i know that people definitely did, and on the same album say that fans who are genuinely concerned about a new relationship that you are in are just 'bitching and moaning'? what do you want from them? you're talking about so many people who do at least believe that they are coming from a place of care and concern, and you are totally dismissing them on both ends of a scale!
not to mention that her implying that since nobody (???) was noticing her ~aesthetic~ drinking problem she just stopped having it is a bit of a kick in the teeth to people who do have drinking problems and can't just stop having them, since that's not how it fucking works.

lazy drawing for the day, i wanted to make a so-called shortstrider character. it's fairly common to see people like this (shortwing and landstrider parentage) around the dry breaks in the north-eastern dry. This consists of a dense multi-story network of mesas and stone pillars with a terraced appearance, not quite as vertically-arranged as a spire but still very three-dimensional, unlike the dry bowl. it mostly consists of a huge network of interconnected fishing villages as the sea flows around this honeycomb of rock.
shortstriders can't fly, can't glide well due to bone density, and can't hop efficiently on the flat (though his vertical jump is excellent). this one, a dock marshal, uses his beacon and reflective headgear to guide ships into port at night. he wears shoes which act as assistive devices to support his feet and stilts to make him a little taller (and more important-looking). the reflective disk is made from iridescent leviathan scale. due to the micro-structures in the scale, light is thrown back similarly to a high-vis vest or a cat's eye on the road. he can warp the surface of the scale and its reflective propertiies by increasing the tension of its housing bracket (operated by a screw on the side), and in conjunction with his beacon providing the light, can make flashing signals at approaching ships.
