Now That We Don’t Talk | Jake Seresin blurb

Takes place during the TGM events

TGM masterlist

Characters & Pairings: Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin x ex!reader (past romance), the dagger squad (platonic)

Content Warnings: light angst, profanity, slight suggestive content, cheating, breakup | female!reader | wc: 2.2k

Note: I’m obsessed with 1989 TV and I’ll admit I was never a TS fan growing up but her OG 1989 I liked and I fuck with some songs Evermore, Reputation, Lover & Midnights. That being said, I’ve got the vault tracks on repeat and as a fellow directioner….Harry, baby, I thought you’d be safe.

————————

“You went to a party I heard from everybody. You part the crowd like the red sea, don’t even get me started. Did you get anxious though, on the way home? I’ll guess I’ll never ever know. Now that we don’t talk.”

His number had been deleted for well over three years when she stepped foot into the familiar bar she once called a second home. It’d been just as long since they’d seen each other, neither aware they’d be reunited in mere moments. When she did find his face among the crowd of their colleagues, she froze, contemplating running out the door and back to her car. Images of their last night flooded her mind. She could recall the constant pinging of her cell phone. Text messages from mutual friends informing her that he had been seen in an intimate embrace with another woman before disappearing from the party.

When he got home he avoided her like the plague. Anxiety consuming his entire being, making it clear the rumors were not rumors. They were true as the sun brightened the sky in the day and the moon reigned at night.

“Jake,” her whimper made him freeze, hand on the railing of the steps leading to their bedroom. No response, only a shake of his head before he continued his journey up. Leaving her to cry herself to sleep on the kitchen floor.

It was a domino effect in the days following. The trust was gone, Jake going out more and coming back late at night. Eventually after two weeks of prolonging the inevitable, Jake returned to an empty apartment. All reminisce of their five years together gone in the blink of an eye. She left a simple note, “Hope it was worth it.”

“You grew your hair long, you got new icons. And from the outside it looks like you’re tryin’ lives on. I miss the old ways. You didn’t have to change. But I guess I don’t have a say, Now that we don’t talk.

Natasha was the first to catch her eye in the Hard Deck, putting down her beer to run over and greet the pilot with a quick hug. Careful not to let anyone else see since they were in uniform. “I’m so happy to see you, Blue.”

She returned the smile, though hers was more tense, “It’s great to see you too, Phee. How’ve you been?” Nerves swarmed her belly with each passing minute. Despite being happy to see her old friend, she was unable to ignore the elephant in the room. The man she thought she’d marry and grow old with on a farm after retiring from the Navy with a bunch of kids and animals was several feet from her.

Overall, Jake had not changed much since their breakup. He was tanner for starters, definitely more toned. But he still had that aura of confidence sometimes confused with being cocky and golden blonde hair making him appear like a life-sized Ken doll. Throughout their relationship she noticed the stares they got from men and women alike. Woman looked at him with want and at her with envy. Men did the same but opposite.

It always surprised people when they got together. Complete opposites, they were known to have a rivalry during their time at Top Gun when they were on the path to becoming the Navy’s best fighter pilots. Jake loved to get under her skin, she loved to deflate his ego. Somewhere the dislike and tension turned into complete desire. And before they knew it they were sneaking into each other’s dorms and getting naughty in the locker room showers.

Her body reacted when he was looking at her. He’d spot her in a crowded room and instantly the woman felt heat along her veins. And she felt that fire right then when a sudden rush of jitters sweeped her figure.

Natasha sensed it too, noticing how the woman became tense. Peeking a glance to the side, a glare took over her once soft expression, “We can go somewhere else if you want.”

“No,” she objected with a slight wave, “I’m fine. A little surprised--although I should’ve expected he’d be a candidate as well given the context of this mission. It’s just we haven’t talked since….”

“I understand,” Nat assured, placing a hand on her back and leading her to the bar. “Let’s get you a drink first, then we’ll deal with him.”

“I call my mom, she said that it was for the best. Remind myself, the more I gave you, you’d want me less. I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost. And what it cost, now that we don’t talk.”

Her mothers words replayed over and over again with each step as the two approached the group. Jake was leaning over the pool, calculating his next shot when she moved straight past him causing him to lose focus and miss the ball he was aiming for completely.

“Blue!” Javy shouted, picking her up in a big hug and spinning them around. Not caring if superiors saw or the fact his best friend, who happens to be her ex, was right there. “I’ve missed you, Girl. What’s going on?”

“Nothing much, Javy,” she couldn’t help but giggle. Of all the friends Jake had, Javy was the one who still reached out to her from time to time. Plus he ripped Jake a new one when he found out why they broke up. To this day he still gives him hell for it. “Let it be Top Gun, to bring us all under one roof.”

“Don’t you know it,” he clicked his beer with hers. The two taking a swig at the same time. “Have you met these clowns?” he motioned to the three to his left, “This is Payback, Fanboy, and Bob.”

“Nice to meet you guys,” they shook hands, greeting her with the same enthusiasm. When Bradley arrived she was once again scooped up into a hug, although this time she caught sight of Jake’s hardened expression. That shouldn’t have surprised her. Bradley Bradshaw was the one man Jake always butt heads with.

But the blonde quickly shook it off when he realized he got caught. He had no right to be jealous. It’d been three years since they broke up. And it was his fault nonetheless.

“Well I’ll be damn,” Bradley set her down gently, still embracing her. “If it isn’t Miss. Blues Clues.” A playful slap hit his chest when they parted.

“You know I hate that name, Bradshaw.”

The two caught up briefly, sitting on stools at the opposite end of the pool table. At one point Bradley made her laugh that the beer she’d been sipping on spilled off her mouth, causing him to giggle and hand her some napkins. While dabbing the liquid away, she locked eyes with Jake. It only lasted a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime. Pinning her to her seat with an unreadable gaze.

She nearly broke, feeling a speck of desire to talk to him, but then remembered her mothers words, “the more you gave him, the less he wanted you. While you may forgive him for all the hurt he brought you, you cannot subject yourself to that again. You deserve better.”

“What do you tell your friends, we, shared dinners, long weekends with? Truth is, I can’t pretend it’s platonic, it’s just ended so…”

She made a silent vow to herself, recalling the painful memories, the phone conversation with her mother along with bits and pieces friends have told her over the years of what Jake had relied on as the reason for their breakup. She would not fall again to his charm. There was no string that could be tied up in an attempt to fix what was cut.

Around them were friends they’d spend long weekends with. Javy and Nat were the most frequent, both having witnessed their relationship blossom and die. It made her wonder what others they hung out with knew. Whenever they’d see each other in passing the conversations always felt like they were walking on eggshells around her. And because she wanted to move on, she’d never ask what Jake told them.

For the sake of their jobs she’d be civil. The past was the past and it would stay there, but she’d make sure to remember it whenever those old feelings threatened to surface. From the looks of Jake throughout the night, he felt the same. It was obvious he wanted to find a moment alone with her to talk, but she refused to let that happen.

“I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest (off my chest). Remind myself the way you faded ‘til I left (until I left). I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost (what I lost). And what it cost, now that we don’t talk.”

When she arrived at her dorm that would be her home for the next three weeks, the first thing she did was retrieve the letter to herself she wrote all those years ago. It was crumbled, having almost thrown it away several times, but remembering the significance within the words inked on the lines, she always pulled it back.

Parts of the paper were withered. A result from the teardrops that had fallen when she took to her desk after the phone call with her mother to write down everything weighed on her chest. Pouring her heart and soul into the paper. It wasn’t much, only taking up the front of the page, but it was enough to get the message across.

Her past self coming to remind her of those fleeting last months. Where Jake slowly became the ghost of the man she’d once loved. The constant worry and anxiety from hours of radio silence. Dinners that felt like an awkward first date. Not inviting her out with his friends anymore. HIs lingering eyes on women who weren’t her. Excusing it with bullshit remarks to make her think she was being dramatic. Finally, the party that sealed the deal.

To imagine what they would be if she gave him another chance would be an insult to herself. Instead, she thought about all she gained.

“I don’t have to pretend I like acid rock. Or that I’d like to be on a mega yacht. With important men who think important thoughts. Guess maybe I am better off, now that we don’t talk.”

After the breakup, she realized how much she hid herself from the world. There were things she pretended to like in order to please him. Like watching college football every weekend, entertaining mostly his friends and leaving her to sit on the couch with a book in hand only to not be able to concentrate with the loud ruckus they’d cause.

Or having to refrain from the things that made her happy. Singing at the top of her lungs in the car while her favorite songs played for the first time in years felt liberating. Not having to be careful on what she spent her money on now that she didn’t have to save more for rent because Jake started to blow his on going to the bar during the last several months of their relationship.

The worst was having to put on a facade in front of Jake’s superiors. Though stationed at the same base they were part of different squadrons. During the banquets and balls, Jake tended to make comments on what dresses she should wear and how to act when they arrived. He was always the kiss ass type who wanted to get promoted faster than his peers. Even though she praised him constantly, Jake was never satisfied unless one of his bosses complimented him. If she were honest to herself, she hated attending the events. Despite being in the Navy herself. Unless they were mandatory she’d find an excuse to not go. Being around men with egos as tall as the empire state building who only talked in statistics and status was draining.

“And the only way back to my dignity. Was to turn into a shrouded mystery. Just like I had been when you were chasing me.”

For the last three years, the way she carried herself changed. She had to for the sake of not letting her heart rot away. Taking back the self-respect she’d lost, after thinking for so long it was her fault Jake had betrayed her. That she wasn’t enough.

She was more than enough.

He was the one who chose to cheat. He was the one who didn’t try to defend himself or fight for what they had. He let himself go. He let her go.

So, after a good month of wallowing in self-pity and despair, she lifted herself up with poise and elegance. Remembering who she was before him. The woman who carried herself with confidence, never allowing anyone to tear her down. Who fought hard to build her career to what it was, after so many doubting her abilities.

The woman he chased after. Who at the core was strong, daring, resilient.

Sure, Jake taught her a lot. About herself, about what she wanted in a relationship. About love. She’ll never forget what they had.

She lost him, but along the way she found herself. And to her, that was everything.

“Guess this is how it has to be, now that we don’t talk.”

Pokemon x UTDR Fakemon Designs (Pt 1)

Welcome to this toxic and fake region called Undertale/Deltarune´s Community! In this vast world you can find many species based on your favorite AUs and creators. Come in and enjoy your stay here in this polemic land.

Choose your starter! You can start your adventure by choosing one of this 3 little critters:

Charseed, the weed pokemon (Based on Charkis from Chapter Rewritten)

Embora, the legacy pokemon (Based on Ceroba from Undertale Yellow)

Tadskull, the hero pokemon (Based on Crossbones from TS!Underswap)

Each one of this lovely starters will have their own evolution lines but you´ll have to be patient to find out in what they´ll turn into in the future.

In this interesting land lives an interesting species know as Crookcrow, the crow Pokémon, this small and yet not very good looking bird lives from stealing other Pokémon's foods, gaining the nickname of "The big bad rook". When it evolves it turns into Ozyrook, the villain Pokémon, this prideful bird commands small crowds of Crookcrows to bring food for him.  This big rook when it´s used for combat it can have one of this two unique abilities:

Ozymandias: When its HP drops down half percent, Ozyrook will rise its attack two stages but its defense and special defense will drop two stages down.

Castling: When its HP drops down half percent, Ozyrook will switch out itself for the pokemon next to it in the party. After this, the pokemon that was switched in will receive a power boost by one on its speed stat.

If you use this Pokémon you are in for a strategic game to not loose him in battle and use the most out of him.

Finally we would like to introduce a new form of Rotom, Rotom Cathode! This forms occurs when a Rotom inhabits a CRT TV for too long.  This form has a new and unique move tied to it: "Laugh Track" it has the chance to confuse the enemy and boost it´s speed state if the move hits the rival. Hope you enjoyed this little art concept I had. If it gets enough support it will make a part 2 in no time!

the work call has run on much longer than initially expected when he first slipped out back to take it. the monotone voice droning on in his ear, afternoon sun beating down where he sits, it's taking incredible resilience for the male not to fall asleep in lawn chair. luckily, there's comes a distraction in the form of a knock coming from behind him. whips head around, knowing there's only one person it can be but not expecting the view that awaits him. with her top bunched up over her exposed t*ts, there she proudly stands beaming on the other side of the glass door. “ you know, i might have to call you back ... ” roland tells the caller as he gets up and moves closer, hazel stare captivated by her chest as his finger hooks and beckons her closer, signalling for her to squish up against the glass. “ yeah, something just came up that requires my immediate attention. ”

the two of you sit comfortably at the table while your orders are being prepared. "i feel like everytime i want to apologize, i'm being interrupted by something." jake says breaking the ice.

"just forget it sim, what's done is done." you tell him.

"i'm really not that bad y/n, i promise." jake claims. "i don't know why i discredited all your hard work, i really have no idea why i said all of that, and i'm really sorry about that."

"i think it might take a little bit more than an apology to convince me you're not all that bad." you tell him as the lady places the entrees in front of you guys.

the two of you thank her and begin to eat. "then let me prove to you that i'm not that bad." jake suggests as he cuts the meat on his plate.

"go for it." you tell him.

"thank you for letting me walk you back to your dorm, it gets a little dangerous at these hours." jake says as the two of you walk down the quiet streets.

"it's better two people fighting one person, right?" you tell him as you stick your hands into your pockets. "honestly, i didn't realize how chilly seoul got at night."

"i would have given you a jacket, but i left it in the van." jake laughs.

"i wouldn't want to wear your jacket anyways, who knows what kind of contagious skin diseases you might have in the fabric of that jacket." you joke as you approach the entrance of the tall building.

"so, this is where your dorms are?" jake asks looking up.

you nod, "yeah, nothing special."

"i guess i'll see you off here then, thank you for today y/n." jake grins. "i look forward to seeing you next week, i'll do my best to plan something."

you smile and chuckle, "don't get all sappy with me now, but yes i'll see you next week."

you wave him goodbye as you enter your building. you walk into the elevator and pull out your phone and click the call button. the phone rings for a few seconds until the person on the other end answers.

"hello?" the voice on the other end confused.

"like you said, it gets dangerous at night so let me stay on the phone with you until you get back to your vehicle." you say as you click the button to go up to your floor.

"are you sure i'm still the one getting all soft? or is it you?" jake jokes.

"shut up." you hiss jokingly. "so tell me sim, have you started planning where you're taking me next week?" you ask as the elevator doors open to reveal the floor your dorms are on.

"well is there anything in particular that's on your bucket list?" jake inquires.

"uhh, hold on." you enter your dorms and say hi to your members and quickly rush to your room and close the door behind you. "sorry, i'm back, but also i'm not sure."

"how about... a karaoke room? jake suggests with a slight chuckle.

"you're serious?" you ask laughing.

"i mean why not, we're both idols, we both sing, it would be fun, right?" jake quizzed. "actually, how about we go eat dinner first after music bank, then we can sit in the park and get to know each other more."

"that actually doesn't sound too bad, but you'd have to find a very private park." you tell him as you make your way to the bathroom.

"i have the perfect place in mind, but i'm in the van now." jake tells you as you hear the van door close in the background, "we can talk about this more another time, have a good night y/n."

"yeah, you too jake." you say before hanging up.

after showering, brushing your teeth, and washing your face you click the facetime button your friends contact.

"so, how was the date?" soobin asks as he sets up his phone.

"for starters, it was not a date, and secondly, it wasn't that bad." you confess as you plop into your bed.

"well, i never thought i'd hear you say that... literally ever." soobin laughs as you laugh along.

"he's trying his best, i'll give him that." you sigh.

"well, i'd love to hear about what happened today, so tell me everything." soobin tells you as he focuses on what you begin to tell him.

RP Prompts - Musical Lyrics

To make this, I hit shuffle on my musical soundtracks playlist and took lyrics from each song that played. Starters under the cut since this may get long.

We Both Reached For The Gun (Chicago)

"When d'ya get here?"

"Don't remember"

"Then what happened"

"He stole my heart away!"

"Oh you poor dear"

"Why'd you shoot him?"

"Was he angry?"

"Did you fight him?"

"She knew that she was doing wrong"

"He came towards me, with a pistol!"

"Yet we both reached for the gun"

"It's perfectly understandable"

"Are you sorry?" "Are you kidding?"

What The World Needs (Ride The Cyclone)

"What the world needs is people like me! To keep it all spinning around!"

"No one's gonna keep me down!"

"These folks here, they just pump the gas"

"Fetch me coffee, shine my shoes"

"Some of us are winners, some are born to lose"

"Keep your head down and things will look up"

"This one here, he's raring to fail"

"Do we really need another zero?"

"What we really need is a futhermucking hero!"

"She's a freaky monster!"

"We need a little less of them, a little more of me!"

You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile (Annie)

"You both got your style. But brother you're never fully dressed without a smile"

"Who cares what they're wearing on main street?"

"So long for a while"

Ready Set - Reprise (Beetlejuice the musical)

"We're ghosts, damn it, let's...haunt this b**ch"

"Oblivion calls"

"I'm sure we can haunt our own halls"

"We're ready as we'll ever get"

"I gotta get right outside my comfort zone"

"Ready, set, let's go!"

There Are Worse Things I Could Do (Grease)

"There are worse things I could do"

"Make em think they stand a chance then refuse to see it through"

"That's a thing I'd never do"

"I could hurt someone like me...out of spite or jealousy"

"Throw my life away on a dream that won't come true"

"I don't steal and I don't lie"

"I can feel and I can cry"

"To cry in front of you...that's the worst thing I could do"

You Can't Stop The Beat (Hairspray)

"You can't stop an avalanche as it races down a hill"

"You can try to stop my dancing feet but I just cannot stay still"

"The world keeps spinning around and around"

"I was lost 'til I heard the drums and found my way"

"You can wonder if you wanna but I never ask why"

"You can't stop my happiness 'cause I like the way I am"

"If you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn"

"Yesterday is history"

No Reason (Beetlejuice the musical)

"The universe is more than just space with no end"

"You're on the right track, I got your back!"

"Think positive!"

"Time to take command, you dictate the hand the universe deals"

"Science makes no sense"

"Everything happens for a reason"

"Be a beacon of light in the world"

"Gee...I hate to break it to you"

"The universe is just the contents of time, matter and space"

"The Earth's a small place where good people die"

"The Pacific Islands are sinking but negative thinking is hardly the cause"

"Sounds like terrible things can happen because the universe is random"

Be Safe, Be Good (Ride The Cyclone cut song)

"I planned to stick around and stay alive"

"To my parents I would listen and obey"

"Be safe, they said, be good."

"Things don't happen quite the way they should"

"I tried my best to toe the line"

"You can cross your Ts and dot your I's but steady yourself for the big surprise"

"Sooner or later you'll realise...its not fair"

"All you can do is buckle in and hang on for the ride"

Not While I'm Around (Sweeney Todd)

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for you"

"What you talking about?"

"Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around"

"I'll send 'em howling. I don't care. I got ways."

"No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare!"

"Others can desert you, not to worry. Whistle. I'll be there."

"I may not be smart but I ain't dumb"

"Not to worry!"

"Being close and being clever ain't like being true"

"I will never hide a thing from you...like some..."

do you listen to music when you work on art? if you do, do you listen to stuff that matches the vibe of what you're working on, or just whatever you feel like listening to? the atmosphere of your pieces go hard. they're really immersive and makes me feel instead of just "see," if that makes any sense. artists can nail technical stuff like anatomy, color theory, perspective, and whatever, but the way you combine everything is next-level. beyond just being skilled like "this looks good," your work really pulls you into the mood/message. i zoom into your art and get lost in the sauce. love your work so much <3

For starters this is like such a huge compliment, thank you!<3

Funny enough I just got done throwing a fit over my headphones dying right before I could start on request.

I really know nothing about music, so I just listen to whatever tickles my brain on repeat most of the time. So warning on whatever I say because I've been told my taste sucks… But I listen to vibes I associate with the character I'm working on. Though this process is pure projection on my part, seeing a lot of the music is stuff I already listen to… Some examples like:

For Leander, I put on Shayfer James, if we're being more specific "For the Departed"… And if the piece calls for some Leander silly bitch mode, we throw in some musical theater "Trust Me" from Devil's Carnival (Note: We are a BIT conflicted about this one nowadays, but surface level it works…) then to fill the air a dash of instrumental from The Last Werewolf… When it comes to Ais it's straight Mother Mother.

We might also throw personal songs in the mix to keep my brain stimulated, so we juggle through Mitski and Dirt Poor Robins here and there.

Also, bless ya'll who make TS playlists! Forgive me my memory is shit, but whoever put Talia and Leander together you have my whole fucking heart!!!

I also make a playlist for different OCs and play it when I'm working on them (I'm still in the process of getting Noble's up and running, but I have one for my other two MCs. which has some of the same songs in both because they're story intertwine in some ways. I could honestly ramble just about the thought process behind the playlist, but I should probably save that idea for the 29th or something because I'm not even sure if that would be interesting to read.)

But yeah, that's the Hibiscus/Ak music ramble… A while back I had to make a bio for my school art portfolio and threw in that I wanted to make sure every picture told a story... Music definitely plays a part in the process, I don't know how big or small a part but it's definitely a part^^;

Ukrainian, Lesson 24: Alphabet

Let's take a step back. This lesson is for those who rely on the Latin transliteration/transcription of Ukrainian words but would like to learn how to read the 'original version' :).

Ukrainian alphabet consists of 33 letters that are used to convey 38 sounds. Some letters look similar to their Latin counterparts, even though the sounds they represent might be quite different. Let's take a look at the sounds letters make one by one.

A - [a] sound [as in 'army', for example)

Б - [b]

В - [v]

Г - it's neither g nor h but it sounds closer to h. Voiced glottal fricative, which is just a fancy way of saying 'imagine a voiced 'h' (voiced 't' is a 'd', for reference)

Ґ - somewhat sounds like a 'g' in 'gun'

Д - [d]

Е - [e] (set)

Є - [ye/ie] (yes)

Ж - [zh] (ź in Polish) - imagine the low buzzing sound bugs make

З - [z]

И- [y/ee] (Korean 으 is close to it) - sounds somewhat similar to short [i] in kin, sin, bin.

І - [ee] (ear, (shiba) inu)

Ї - [yi] - similar sound to the one in the word yield

Й - [y] - yield, yes, yarn

К - [k]

Л - [l]

М - [m]

Н - [n]

О - [o] (orange)

П - [p]

Р - [r] (Ukrainian [r] is a bit different but you can stick to your 'r' for starters)

С - [s]

Т - [t]

У - [oo] in boo

Ф - [f]

Х - [h]

Ц - [ts]

Ч - [ch]

Ш -[sh]

Щ - [shch]

Ь - soft sign, no sound; this letter softens the sound of consonants (palatalization occurs as a result)

Ю - [u] (you) :)

Я - [ya] (German ja)

_______________________

Above, I tried explaining the sounds UA letters make wihout giving you the names of the letters (i.e, 'l' is called 'elle' in Italian but it is not read that way; same story with 'y' being called 'ypsilon' in German or 'b' being called 'bee' in English).

In the following video you can hear: 1) the name of the letter, 2) the sound it makes, 3) example word.

Can you try writing your name using Ukrainian letters now? :)

@worthyheir liked for a ts starter (spotify picked new year's day)

𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 , yet , they were frequently called to fight their wars. a stark reminder of the disconnect between north and south , priorities of wolves and dragons. his father had made an oath , ventured south and bent the knee to rhaenyra targaryen , and cregan intended to honor such a promise. northerners were bred differently , little interest in the games and schemes of southern nobility. though , admittedly , he does respect prince jacaerys for venturing all this way north. their trip to the wall solidified cregan's faith in his father's choice , as well as showed the heir the truest threat to the realm ( not dragons or usurpers , but imminent and certain death ).

❝ don't become a stranger , ❞ lord of winterfell says to the crowned prince. their time together , though short , birthed a strong friendship. cregan felt ease knowing this would be the future his children and grandchildren would live under. he extends a hand , one that signifies the promises he made jacaerys ; grey beards and loyalty alike. ❝ i hope the next time we meet won't be on the battle field , my prince. ❞

The Man easter eggs - July 20 movie poster date mystery? [Very fitting for today's climate issues]

"February 27, 2020. She stated that the entire preparation for the music video—including planning meetings, creating mood boards, scouting locations, and costume and set design—took several months." Wikipedia

"One poster on the subway advertises a movie called "Man vs Disaster" with the tagline "Mother Nature doesn't stand a chance."

Not only does the poster dramatize the hyper-masculinity in many action movies, but it also appears to reference the climate-change crisis. Not to mention, it probably wasn't an accident to use the feminine term "Mother Nature" and essentially have the male protagonist threaten her safety, further underscoring the theme of the video.

Last of all, the fake movie apparently has a release date of July 20, which could be significant. Some fans have theorized that Swift plans to release another single that day or make some kind of announcement."

Coincidentally, 7.20 date is same as Apollo landing on the moon. A nd then her music (bought months later) is listed under Apollo A-1, LLC - a holding of Shamrock.

NASA event:

Apollo 11 (July 16–24, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent about two and a quarter hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base upon landing. - Wikipedia

November 2020- Shamrock buys TS masters

Her OG music is listed under Apollo A-1 LLC (part of Shamrock)

discogs.com/artist/1124645-Taylor-Swift

“A few weeks ago my team received a letter from a private equity company called Shamrock Holdings, letting us know that they had bought 100% of my music, videos, and album art from Scooter Braun. This was the second time my music had been sold without my knowledge. The letter told me that they wanted to reach out before the sale to let me know, but that Scooter Braun had required that they make no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off.

“As soon as we started communication with Shamrock, I learned that under their terms Scooter Braun will continue to profit off my old musical catalog for many years. I was hopeful and open to the possibility of a partnership with Shamrock, but Scooter’s participation is a non-starter for me.”

ricky bowen ( @melodyplucked ) liked the ts starter call

"You're speechless," Autumn shrugged a shoulder, glancing over at Ricky. She didn't really know what to say to him about any of his... girl troubles. "Love slipped beyond your reaches." And she couldn't give him a reason.

@korinthiakos <3'd for a starter

he's just looking for conversation -- something to pass the time until the bar closes and he has to go back to the boarding house he was temporarily calling home. all day he'd been looking for some kind of employment and all day the aeronaut had doors shut in his face.

" tomorrow's a new day, " said his hare daemon in an effort to lift her human's spirits.

" yeah. right. " lee turns to the blond sitting nearby, deciding this single other person at the bar would do well for the distraction he was requiring, " whatcha drinkin'? 'ts on me. "
