that post abt going insane over platonic relationships just made me think about ghostkicks (as if I'm not doing that constantly already) but . specifically new haven wards flavored. just. in the aftermath of something like the atlas battle the fighting is over everything is quiet and still for just a second and then there's just gravel crunching footsteps as the two of them are drawn together like magnets to make sure they're safe and alive and okay and they just kind of collapse on the street in the middle of all kinds of rubble desperately hugging each other like if they let go the other person will disappear

anyways i am feeling kinda brave today so im gonna share a potentially unpopular taylor swift hot take. when i was talking to my friend yesterday about ttpd i realised that i kinda have a similar problem with the anthology as i do with evermore.
like don't get me wrong, both have absolute gems (willow, tolerate it, long story short, gold rush and NBNC from evermore are great and i love the albatross, so high school, the prophecy black dog, manuscript etc) but i think both collections (bc anthology is not an album) suffer because they came out connected to a much superior more cohesive work, and both almost feel like rejects from the body of work that proceeded it.

I have two thoughts that are bouncing around in my head right now
1. The problem with me inventing horsies is that I want them all to have feathers but that's fucking boring but I the feathers are neat but it's boring but-
2. Oh my god. Oh my god. There is not a single fundamental fact Roxy has believed that has been right. Not a single fucking thing. Her life is a god damn lie. Tries to clear up one identity problem and ends up with another two. She feels like this is the identity crisis hydra. Is there a way to win here? Is there anything else that's been a lie this whole time? Is she even still Roxy anymore? She's going through some things...
But at least her horsie has feathers I guess

i was feeling surprisingly normal about Nona (the book) but just now I re-read the passages about love and leaving and I don't know how to be normal about it anymore. You really can't expect me to read both "Life is too short and love is too long" and "what's like except a love that hasn't been invited indoors?"

weird experience of feeling very strongly that "i don't want these pants, I have no interest in them, they're expensive, and theres no reason for me to buy them" and then an EXTREMELY strong directly conflicting feeling of "no but i DO want them, i want them extremely badly, holy shit please can i just buy them, i have the money for it"
(aka me and another headmate arguing over whether we should buy these pants bc i literally have zero interest in them and I think they're kind of ugly fdsjkl but he wants them so fucking bad)
