#im listening to anti hero rn

[cwilburtbh]

it’s the type of morning where you wake up and suddenly you hear the train tracks again

[thatone-highlighter]

What songs have u been thinking of adding to strengths playlist :0 [and the others if u have any you’ve been thinking of for them] Also you could make a streatney+ playlist, just sayin

I have been creating a list of Set It Off songs to put in here, and this is on top of the ones ive already added. I am also just now realising that even tho i associate the band in general with Strength the distribution of songs does Not favour Strength much if at all.

Theres a few of the songs where its just the general vibe or just so much of the song works its hard to pick one section, but i went and grabbed some of my fav sections

Peekaboo; like i mean it LITERALLY says this what do you want from me

Why Not Me?; it feels alot like things a Strength vessel would say. I especially like the bit about „a little voice is shouting get up“

Catch A Break; i mean isnt that such a Witney concept, shes put thru so much bullshit after bullshit and everyone is So mean to her Constantly. And „same tragedy different day“ thinking about Witney,,,, hhnnnggg

Playing With Bad Luck; a very similar idea to Catch A Break because the guy is literally the whole time just talking about how all this bad stuff keeps happening but hes done nothing to deserve any of it, which again, yeah. Man thinking about Witney makes me Feral

Unopened Windows; honestly a streartney song to me but i feel like Witney would be the most nostalgic about it like this. Like hes def the one to look back at it like what-could-have-been the most

Who‘s In Control?; it especially makes me think of Anne at her peak blaming herself for Heart and all that, like „living in fear living afraid/hysterical every day“ TELL me that doesnt remind u of Heart and Anne in ibybf

Me W/O You; it feels vaugely manipulative and vaugely genuine in a way i can only compare to Heart. Plus the whole „theres no me without us“ over-reliance and codependence feels very Heart as well

And i didnt add a part of the song because i cant EXPLAIN it but. Dancing With The Devil in my head just makes me think of Streart. imagining it as like the two of them alternating screaming the lines at eachother, they both see eachother as the counterpart in the song. And this song also lead me to for some reason learning how to draw partner dancing Just so i could draw streart partner dancing and then also went a bit insane about who would be lead dw about it

[munamania]

going to pointlessly ramble about the grammys just cause im annoyed and bored at work:

in no way is anti hero a song worthy of an award as stupid as the institution giving it might be. did a lot for fandom edits but stop giving that woman grammys just cause shes popular oh my god. that album sucked

ill keep these next two complaints separate. guts was fine but not good enough for album of the year are we kidding. i knew it was gonna happen and got preemptively a little bit mad. sorry olivia and her fans i love u girl but stop giving teenagers grammys it's really going to their heads. im tired. nowhere to be seen: the rise and fall of a midwest princess or javelin. ok. guts was better than harrys house as an album nominee by a decent amount... but not enough. come on.

boygenius being on there but not muna or chappell or paramore. once again. boring. sorry i still havent listened to the whole record but it's so obvious theyre getting up there because they had a lot of popularity skyrocketing this year and theyre the whitest/most vague and performative about their queerness. i am not saying the artists themselves and the way they behave is performative btw im just saying like. chappell has local drag queens at every tour date. muna brings out a variety of artists for their openers and brought a trans choir to one of their days at. wait was that in la. well regardless it was recent. im just saying they dont engage with the broader queer community as much like hurrah yay tits out but. be serious. they are not the best performers or lyricists.

i guess kill bill is fine as song of the year but the rest of these... why isnt speed drive on there if we're including barbie songs.

best new artist. im appalled chappell isnt there but whatever. as fine as his music seems im sick of hearing about this noah guy.

BEST POP DUO/GROUP PERFORMANCE. AND YOU PUT KARMA BY TAYLOR AND ICE SPICE. PLEASE BE SERIOUS. THAT WAS SO FORGETTABLE AND STUPID AND AWFUL. OH MY GOD WE'RE IN HELL SORRY TO BE DRAMATIC. FUCK OFF AND DIE I AM SO SICK OF SEEING THAT WOMANS NAME (sorry ice spice). WHY THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS ONE THAT GOT AWAY NOT THERE (well apologies if it only counts feature songs usually...... whatever.)

the fact that fast car luke combs is on there. WHAT EXACTLY DID HE DO. HE TOOK A LESBIAN'S SONG AND SANG IT LIKE. OK. HE DID NOT WRITE THAT SHIT. IT'S NOT THAT GOOD OF A COVER. KYS!!!!

yeah whatever naturally charli wouldnt show up for best soundtrack on bottoms. and maybe it wasnt like THE best score ever but it was so much fun.

fast car is on here twice. im clenching my fists.

at least rush is on here i guess... why no other troye noms even.

best pop vocal album and u have olivia and taylor there. this is how u can tell pop music rn is in the shits. sorry. neither of them have bad voices theyre just singers not vocalists. not to be pretentious but if the whole category is about vocals.

i wont hate on them for this but olivia and boygenius are the only women you could come up with for the rock category. what about nova twins. ig their genre is weird but neither of them wholly fit it either. ok also their album is from 2022. whatever

best music video and they have rush but not got me started or whatever or one of your girls.... right. omg caroline rose is on here (not mv) i liked her one song

k well then theres a lot of others sorry to neglect but whatever. in conclusion. im sick. and tired.

[ HEY! PLEASE READ THIS! ] ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

i felt like this needed its own section.

i do not condone harassment, stalking, murder, abuse, and so on, but i do have characters that have either done these things or still does these things.

I only do it to spread awareness of how NOT all criminals are inherently bad and may just not know how to cope/function due to the issues they deal with. Did you know that OVER half of people in state prisons report having mental health problems but only 1 in 4 of them have received professional help. I feel like they are massively misrepresented as just being overall a horrible and disgusting person, instead of being shown as someone who has serious issues and not knowing how to function.

does this mean ALL people with mental conditions are going to be criminals? No! Absolutely not! It's just THE FACT that so many prisoners/criminals have untreated mental conditions.

LIKE I SAID, i do not condone any crimes that they have committed, but i want more prisoners/criminals getting the help they need. PLEASE if i mess up at any point, let me know what i can do to fix it.

I will put trigger warnings when i think its necessary.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

[that-bitch-kat3]

actively freaking out over my first listen of midnights:

my active thoughts::

lavendar haze: so queer, obsessed with the harmony, ‘damned if i do give a damn what people say’, sounds purple if that makes sense. i like but i don’t think it’ll be my favorite

maroon: track twos always go hard so expectations are high. liek the intro good vibes. its giving 1989 shit, (wolfstar?!?!!?) obsessed!!!!!!!!!! “the rust that grew between telephones” goes SO HARD

Anti-hero: SHUT UP I LOVE IT!! GIMME IT! “when my depression works the graveyard shift” (mood) “i’m the problem it’s me” this one has so much tiktok audio potentional. my new crying shit. this is my song. this is my favorite on this album (i’m deciding this after only hearing these 3) “i wake up screaming from dreaming” i need a music video for this. love all of it. literally amazing

snow on the beach: a bit nervous because lana can be problematic. “stars by the pocketfull” im into it more lana than i was expecting but a crying song bitch, giving folklore energy, not my fav but pretty good

you’re on your own kid: i already liek this better, aww friends to lovers?!? CHILDHOOD friends to lovers?!? bye. i’m gonna be in so much shit when i fall in love with one of my friends again. “i okay my songs in the parking lot” dude. wait. i lived this. okay nvm just besties. oh no. i’m crying. “sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes” okay im crying.

midnight rain: oh she’s GIVING! oh good so i’m crying about childhood shit again. “all the love we unravel” (jegulus?!?) “i wanted that pain” oh okay so me too.

question…?: “a color i have searched for since” oh im feeling it. (jily) absolutely heartbreaking. okay sothat’s so cool that she’s writing about my life. oh the beat drop. it’s so good.

vigilante shit: WHAT A START!!! ITS GIVING REPUTATION!!! MY NEXT ERA IS THIS. “latelu i’ve been dressing for revenge” oh shit hell fucking yeah. im shivering. it’s so good. “don’t get sad get even” “he was doing lines and crossing all of mine” bye. it’s giving cal. it’s giving who i want to be. about to hit my vigilantes era.

bejeweled: oh damn tell ‘em that you are the main bitch. the harmony is SO GOOD! “i miss you but i miss sparkling” oh no i have also lost myself in another person so i’m obbsessed. “some guy said my auras moonstone just because he’s high” holy shit this is one of my top 5

labyrinth: uh oh two winners in a row. scared. oh no im crying. “breathe in breathe through breathe deep breathe out.” oh no. this is me. im gonna fall in love. fuck. this is what i want more than anything. damn i also cannot move on from people. “oh no im falling in love again” crying pissing shitting. absolutely a mess. kill me.

karma: WHAT WE HAVE ALL WAITED FOR!! shut up. it’s so good. 20 seconds in and im obbsessed. oh im fucking hard with this. “karma is a god” “karma is a relaxing thought” you know what this makes me feel better about some of the shit. “im still HEREREEEE” (my favorite line) losing my shit. it’s perfect. i will never move on.

sweet nothing: based on the title i will be crying. ph that’s is the life i want to live. (jily.) oh no i want to be in love again. SOMEONE MARRY ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW OR I WILL DIE ON THE SPOT!! “to you i can admit that i’m just too soft for all of it”

mastermind: self title that’s bold. WHAT A FIRST LINE SHITTING MYSELF!!! every fucking line is so good! oh my god. im not okay. im actually in love with this song. “every lovers game” “the dominos cascaded in a line” i am GOING FERAL! i want to bite someone. this is in my top 5. “you knew the entire time.” KILL ME IM NOT OKAY!! LOSING MY SHIT RN

[thegeminisage]

they call it the river of the dead bc i died 10000 times trying to get korok seeds here

ANOTHER shrine in a cave on the great plateau. 10/10 i love that

i keep getting nothing but shields in chests and its starting to piss me off. i dont use them much, i havent broken a single one this whole game. give me literally ANYTHING else!!

died in the shrine when i was alllmost done. smh

DIED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

deeply tempted to turn around and leave but No. i'm so close

I FUCKING. GOT IT. FUCK THAT SHRINE!!!!

placed one of my travel medallions at the REAL temple of time. i never have to walk back here again lol

not that i need to come back...i'm finishing up the great plateau korok hunt right here. i have one left that starts elsewhere and ends on the great plateau but im at nearly 200 seeds rn and ive been making myself cuckoo bananas hunting seeds so i deserve a sidequest break. i'm thinking the rito bridge is a good place 2 start

BUT FIRST, MY AMIIBO! i keep foprgetting to do these lol

YOOOOOO mirror of twilight fabric!!! sexy

AND demon king fabric.....

accidentally spawned another epona. rode hr out to where the other horses were so she has community support lol

AWWW there's another monument near the great plateau...

ok, so i talked to karson in lookout landing ages back abt building this bridge. i think now they need supplies?

oh, i like how these guys refer to each other by name! i love the community feeling in totk...the way everybody wants to be a helper...

oh lmao i literally have enough wood already <3 maybe this is why they made trees enemies, to give us reasons to chop them up so we dont have to level entire forests at a time

OH HE SAID ACES!!!! good for him

SCREAM this dialogue. wings come in handy! or...wingy! don't sit your tail there, it's a support beam, not a perch! chaotic gay people <3 happy pride <3

had the brief thought "since i'm in hebra i should get some korok seeds here" no <3 not without <3 snow boots <3

which i havent seen any sign of...UGH i hope they arent still in gerudo desert...

im going to hateno!! i've been meaning to give this guy acorns for his cow feed for foreverrr

but, to do the school quest, i need to swing by kakariko first...thank goodness4 fast travel

ugh so many sidequests in kakariko i wanna do but i feel like i should wait until this 5th sage nonsense SIIIGH

ok, got the pic of the tapestry in paya's house! also accidentally saw the cuccos running by, followed them to their hideout. extremely tense trying to bust thru the rock wall with them standing there. no way was i using yunobo

BUT i was at a perfect angle to take a ring ruins pic for the stable guy!

found lasli who needs the anti-gloom stuff...UGH i hate that nobody remembers link!!! ugh and i need milk for this which i dont have >:(

well, i bet there's some in hateno and i was going there anyway lol

NAYDRA WAS HERE WHEN I SPAWNED........snaged myself a scale. UGH i can't believe they fucked dragon farming i'm in such deep shit i don't have ANY parts

acorns delivered, milk received! omg nice he'll trade me anytime.......reminds me of the rito lady trading arrows for chillshrooms lol now THAT was a bargain

got my mirror of twilight fabric put on 💪

oh man it is LOVELY. it has a nice rainbow-pearl sheen to it...it might be my fav yet

time to go appease schoolchildren

scream that link is listening in on this calamity lecture like he wasn't the main character in it without so much as a single acknowledgement of it by this dude. yet another way theyre alienating old players by trying NOT to alienate new ones

this guy talking up the hero's achievements WITHOUT ACTUALLY MENTIONING THAT IT IS LINK. this is my villain origin story

oh boy. for the next lesson i have to get monster extract from tarrey town. i have the car quest there i never finished, but maybe i should do more shrines/seeds first...

i haven't been to the depths in awhile.

that is DEFINITELY the devil (and many korok seeds) talking. actually i can decide tomorrow bc i have to <3 go to bed

[hugeswiftie13]

OK HERE ARE MY FIRST THOUGHTS FOR EACH TRACK:

Lavender Haze—SCREECH DELICATE VIBES. Literally tho, real rep vibes. Not her calling out the engagement rumors lmao. THAT ENDING THO

Maroon—LITERALLY WANNA CRY?? VOCALS ARE SO GOOD?? I LOVE THE DEEP REGISTER. also, tHIS BRIDGEEEEEE. needs another listen

Anti-Hero—so poppy?? But ALREADY SOBBING MIDNIGHTS ARE MY AFTERNOONS. HER DEPRESSION. THE IMAGERY IS SO FUCKING INCREDIBLE. ACTUALLY SOBBING. Like some kind of congressmannnnn.

You’re on your own, kid—this feels like a hug from an old friend. I want to cry forever. he loves me not 😭😭 again sobbing rn. THIS BRIDGE??? HOW AM I EXPECTED TO MOVE ON. NO. IM STAYING HERE.

Midnight rain—is this the new ratatatatatatatatatyatya? A grower, methinks. But I love the midnight motif

Labyrinth—the breathing lyrics 😭😭 I’VE BEEN GETTING OVER YOU MY WHOLE LIFE??😭😭😭i’m falling in loveee again………..I love this chorus. I love these vibes. I love the airy sounds. tf is this new production at ~3 min?? BUT HER BACKGROUND VOCALS UGH SO PERFECT

Karma—LAUHEFRLTUIAEHFRILUWAEHRGLAE;RHTUG ITS KARMA OH MY GOD FINALLY. SPIDERBOY?????? what the actual fuck 😭😭 it is a track

Sweet nothing—softer. the end is coming. I’M JUST TOO SOFT FOR ALL OF IT 😭😭 gonna listen to this on repeat at the impending apocalypse

Mastermind—SHRIEK. I LOVE THE BEAT SM. THIS IS AN ***EXPERIENCE*** THAT I CAN NEVER RELIVE. This feels like such a classic Taylor song. THIS BRIDGE HAS ACTUALLY MURDERED ME. FUCKING TEARS. ALSO MACHIAVELLI NAME DROP GOTTA TELL (insert poli sci teacher) TMRW. SUCH A GOOD ENDING.

[anotherbeingsworld]

But, I haven't thought this much through. BUT BUT, here's like a ranking I just made on my notes. SO, I wanna hear ur thoughts bestie hehe. 😌 (It's PRETTY HARD TBH, but I love my top 5 tbh hehe.) Under the cut with explanations! (for the top 10 zsjjsks)

Okay, you're own your own kid. That one HIT ME with a couple of bricks. Like literally, I just cried when I listened to it on my own, and proceed to make a playlist about it hsjdjd. But, but, yeah - I love it.

Midnight rain. Okay, Idk why, it just feels like so relatable. I feel like I'm the midnight rain, I mean yes, I want to be a bride..but, WELL, IDK. just conflict. I love it too much.

Anti-Hero? I'm the problem. ITS ME. periodt. 😌

Would've could've should've. J*hn M*y*r better watch his back. That song is so freaking raw and IM JUST, ghad. I belt it too much lately, and like ESPECIALLY the line that says, 'i regret it all the time." I felt it idky.

[something--wicked]

I.am.tired. "can we all agree that billy is a villain and" or "can we all let him be a villain" No. We cannot ALL AGREE. Why WHY are people so obsessed with their viewpoint being the one and only true one of a planet over 7 bilion people? You want to see Billy as villain? Go ahead, the fuck do I care. But why have the arrogance of wanting everyone to agree with this? It is SO annoying I don't know how to deal with this anymore... Sorry for coming to you with this but you and several other blogs I follow are my heroes for having the energy and courage to call certain people out on their bullshit with class and facts while I can't and instead hide behind anonymity... Thank you. <3

hi anon im sorry im just now seeing this message!! but yes i agree and thank you for the kind words. i welcome you and anyone else to come to me with anything if you wanna chat or if you just want to rant its totally fine!! my response under the cut bc i went on a bit of a rant myself lol

I agree that it is extremely annoying and exhausting (which is why i dont really get involved, instead i just say things in the tags and reblog things others have said) because honestly i dont have the time or energy to constantly fight a losing battle against strangers on the internet who dont know me or my life. Honestly you shouldn't give me much credit because i dont fight nearly as much as others in this fandom do, i sort of just mind my business most of the time lol. I commend the ones who do actively engage with antis and try to have discussions with them! If i were better with words and had more time id be right there with them. Honestly, the reason its so bad right now is because st is so popular in the mainstream rn. Once the hype dies down, itll get better, and once the show ends itll get wayyy better. (honestly thats why im glad my favorite shows are older/lesser known. Like, no one is getting this worked up about fringe lol)

When it comes to antis, unfortunately, people have always been obsessed with their viewpoint being the correct one. Since our species gained sentience the thing weve used it for the most is to fight with other humans over who is right and who is wrong. religion, politics, wars are fought in the name of one viewpoint being right and better than the others. Not to compare fandom drama to literal war and historical events, but you see my point. Its just the way people are. People can be kind and arrogant and nice and nasty. We all have the capacity and the right to get upset when our views are challenged, but what matters is how we respond. I literally used to be a billy anti, (i was 17 and still living with my abusers, had a really fucked up worldview) i wasnt rabid about it and didnt really talk about it but i agreed with people when they said he was racist and a bad person and didnt think twice about his character. (honestly forgot he existed until recently.) but eventually, i grew up, i got out, and i got help. I didnt even like billy until less than a year ago. im 23 now, and im a very different person than i was when i was 17. I went back into the st fandom spaces when st4 came out and somehow ended up in the billy corner, and i listened to what they had to say. And i realized that i was wrong, and changed my opinion. I started to see what i couldnt before. I even talked to my therapist about it (and even her, my 72 year old fan of stranger things therapist, agreed that billy is the most complex and interesting character) and using him and his story, I was finally, after almost 6 years of being free from my abusers, was able to talk to her about what I went through and start processing my trauma. I realized how similar lives me and billy lived. I realized that i wished someone would have helped him the way my loved ones helped me. I wish all antis had the capacity to have calm back and forth discussions about the media that they claim to be fans of, but not everyone is capable of that. This is the internet. Most people here are incapable of that. All media is meant to be discussed and interpreted and debated. Its an art form meant to make you think, not something to base your moral compass and worldviews on. Despite that, Billy’s story is something that many real people go through, and insisting that someone who relates to his abuse and wants to explore it in a fandom space (art, fic, etc) is an evil person just because you personally don’t like his character is just straight up disgusting.

So for the ones who just want to ask questions and discuss things, thats fine. Most of us are happy to talk. For the ones who just want to troll, invade our space, say inflammatory things and hurt people just because we have differing opinions on a fictional character? The best thing to do is just block them and move on. Because they dont want their minds changed, they just want to cause drama for the sake of drama because their own lives are so sad and empty that they need a strangers vitriol to fill the attention void. They're just schoolyard bullies, desperate for a reacton. And i deal with them the same way i dealt with bullies in my school days: id stare blankly at them until they got bored or uncomfortable and left me alone. Because all they're looking for is a reaction, and i refused to give them one. I deal with anon hate the same way. Before i started posting about billy, i got anon hate maybe once or twice in the twelve years ive been here. Now, i get it at least once a week. And im not even a dedicated billy hargrove blog. I just post whatever catches my eye at that moment, so i cant even imagine what its like for the people in the fandom who are completely dedicated to billy. But my followers have never and will never see the anon hate i get, and the senders will never see my response to it. Because you know what i do with anon hate? I delete it. I delete it and forget it ever existed. Eventually, when they see that im not responding, they give up and stop. Its slowed down considerably, so i guess theyre getting tired lol. Non-reaction is a totally valid way of handling harassment, and the most successful one, in my experience. I dont need to fight to prove to strangers behind a screen that im not a racist or an abuser or evil just because they say that i am for liking a fictional character. I know im not racist, and i know im not an abuser, and i know im not evil. Im a regular person who does their best to be kind and respectful to everyone and be better every day. Im a regular person who goes to work, hangs out with friends, takes care of family, looks at silly little memes on the internet, minds my business, and lives my life.

Dont ever feel bad for not engaging in discourse. Whether its because its taxing to your mental health or you dont have the energy or because you just dont want to, youre not obligated to do anything. You arent losing points by sitting back on the sidelines and letting others fight. Its social media, not a life or death warzone. If all you wanna do is reblog some posts and chill then more power to you. Thats what i do for the most part. I very rarely ever get involved in anything, cuz im content to sit over here in my corner and reblog things, and not let things people say on the internet affect me in real life because none of it matters. Just because antis forget that life outside of internet fandom exists doesnt mean we have to as well.

[andi-is-bored]

i’m in the mood to scream about things rn (in a nice way) SO HERES MY FIRST LISTEN THOUGHTS ON TAYLOR SWIFTS NEW ALBUM MIDNIGHTS! (aka a recreation of my live reactions to the album while screaming about it to my friend on discord at 12:30am at night)

Lavender Haze: “oh my god the vibes are so good, i feel like i’m in a 70s disco dancing in my pjs”

Maroon: “liked it less at first but now the chorus is stuck in my head, it’s just very calming? AND THE ENDING OMG IM DEAD!”

Anti-Hero: “THE HYPE IS REAL WTF, THE STORY??? ITS SO GOOD I NEEDA WATCH THE MUSUC VIDEO LIKE NOW” (have not watched it yet but i will soon)

Snow on the Beach (ft Lana Del Ray): “didn’t like it as much but still very pretty. sounds a lot like lana del ray, which makes sense)

You’re on Your Own, Kid: “so calming and nice and soft and UGH WHY DO I LOVE ALL THESE SONGS?!??”

Midnight Rain: “AMAZING, STUNNING, IM DEAD. THE MELODY, THE EFFECTS, THE LYRICS?!?? AHHHH IM DEAD!”

Question…?: “very pretty but kind of forgettable, still really liked it”

Vigilante Shit: “…i’m dead. just dead. think i experienced gay panic for the first time, pretty much confirmed my attraction to women so that was nice :)”

Bejeweled: “so nice and pretty and catchy, love it omg it’s all so good”

Labyrinth: “it’s a good song but again, kind of forgettable :/ still a awesome song though”

Karma: “KARMA IS MY BOYFRIEND! it’s so good omg yessssssss the hype is real!”

Sweet Nothing: “it’s so sweet and cute omg i’m dead, deceased, up in the heavens.”

Mastermind: “such a good ending song, love it Love It LOVE IT!”

Top three favorites: changes a little between Karma, Anti-Hero and Lavender Haze but the two permanent spots are Vigilante Shit and Midnight Rain.

Least favorite: Labyrinth or Question, great songs but aren’t too present in my mind.

hope you enjoyed this chaotic post and please don’t come after me for my thoughts they are all in good fun and i love all the songs cause Taylor is a absolute genius.

aaah im listening to midnights rn and i just cant stop relating everything to vincenzo why is the brainrot STILL this bad i'll never be free from this 😭 pretty sure taylor watched vincenzo when she wrote midnights i mean

"cause karma is my boyfriend / karma is a god / karma is a cat / karma is the guy on the screen who came straight home to me" LIKE THATS LITERALLY HIM? + so many songs reminding me of cha young and vincenzo; like the entirety of the great war and snow on the beach literally just describing the underpass scene (im still unwell abt this), vigilante shit being the revenge anthem, a song called anti-hero, etc etc... she really did this for us

stfuuu i didn't even think about it like that?? now you've planted the images in my mind i will have to relisten to the album with a new mindset. "i don't start shit but i can tell you how it ends" like that's soooo.

but real talk, what are your favorites from the album for me it's anti-hero and you're on your own kid

-secret swiftie santa

Dw this is pretty fun hehe

I think I’m on the opposite side of the adhd spectrum, where when I start a project, I often find myself hyper focusing so hard on it that I can’t focus on anything else until it’s done LOL (thankfully i can finish the smaller projects in a day, and Ive often been multitasking with for exemple doing rows of crochet while reading my textbooks haha)

My favourite color is Tyrian purple! (Tyrian purple specifically because there’s some other shades of purple I don’t like that much) look at how pretty!!

good evening bestie evan!!! it’s me, hi, i’m your @santaswiftie friend! i hope you’re having a good whatever time it is where you are! i will be trying to send you an anon every day until lead up to your present. so first things first…let’s talk taylor. 1. your url is absolute perfection! 2. tell me your fave taylor things: songs, albums, music videos, outfits, interviews, appearances, anything!

oh my goodness hi !!! it's nearly 2am where i am but im up late writing an essay so this is a great procrastination method 🫶

i hope you're having a good time rn and enjoying your december !!

my favourite taylor albums are red tv, midnights and lover! and my fav songs rn are probably yoyok, karma, paris, state of grace, ikywt, the very first night, babe, mirrorball, i dont wanna live forever, just the entirety of lover i would just name all the songs lmaoo, but honestly it switches up depending on what album im listening to these are just my current obsessions !! OH also safe and sound because i've been reading the hunger games books so its been stuck in my head

music video wise, i LOVE the anti hero mv but ive also been told the bejeweled mv gives off ev vibes by a weird amount of people so i feel like i have to mention it, i love the ikywt aesthetics, the wanegbt video is SO fun, lover ofc has to be mentioned, style, ready for it, 22, i dont wanna live forever, there are so many im forgetting i just know it im so sorry 😭

outfits: taylor's half up half down with the fringe (like her birthday party photos !!) is like my main inspo for my hair but i KNOW thats so obscure, the blue jumper + skirt combo we got earlier this year, honestly anything that gives off stylish grandma/autumnal teacher, her cardigan was a specific slay. i personally try to go for a grungy but autumnal librarian look if that is at all helpful

i tried to be so thorough but honestly id be so pleased with anything i cant explain how excited i am to see your gift !!
