#swifties who write

[madeofcoal]

drenched in silence

words escape me,

leaving me unable to quiet the silence.

yet, of all the voices i speak with,

the one closest to who i am

insists on staying silent.

of all the languages i master,

the one i yearn for most hides within my mouth,

unspoken, unseen, unheard.

silence has come to stay,

draping me in madness.

in silence, i can hear myself—

me, who only needed to quiet my mind.

and so, i go on,

without speaking a word aloud.

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

[nine-aetharia]

i need swifties to shut the fuck up about 'oh so kendrick's disses can be analyzed for hidden meanings but we can't do the same for taylor songs' yeah bc that's not isolated to kendrick. subliminals and entendres abound in rap. taylor swift songs are as deep as a puddle while youre wearing flip flops and your feet still arent wet

[9w1ft]

no thoughts about the latest show or the upcoming ones?

i guess i kind of feel like emotions are high in general and we are so close to the end of the tour anyways so instead of ruminating on the possible meaning of the latest shows or the upcoming ones i want to wait until the shows are over before putting thoughts together! right now im just watching it play out.

I hope Matty Healy or Joe Alwyn or whoever has secretly been working on a novel or memoir that their publicist will never let them release because Taylor Swift sang "were you writing a book" I hope that's just a little throwaway line that ruins a life 🤍

WIP Wednesday #26 - DW Crossover

Hey everyone, as it's my birthday, I think I should give Caroline a break. @sergeantpixie said that Caroline needed a spa day; she's correct.

Let's meet Taylor Caroline at Midnight.

This was her happy place.

Whenever things went wrong, she was stressed, or there was inevitable Mystic Falls drama, and Caroline needed to escape - she always went to the leisure planet Midnight.   

Today was no different, and the staff at the spa knew it.  Caroline didn’t even have to say anything; they just booked her the works.  A blowout, manicure, pedicure, full body massage, a facial with ground up diamonds from the planet, there was an eye mask to keep diamonds from getting in her eyes.

With all the danger that had recently taken place in town, she felt the need to take control of her life, even by doing something dangerous.  She recognized the habit that was starting to form, what with deciding to complete her homework assignment on WW1 in the muddy fields of Europe, instead of at the library.  And the fact that there were now at least four different versions of herself running around London during the height of the Blitz.  When traveling to Midnight, she made sure to set her vortex manipulator to a date prior to her first visit with her dad.  The Midnight entity would be roaming around the planet, that was true, but not in the spa.

So it wasn’t like she was being totally reckless! Next time she was bringing Bekah with her. They could use some girl time.

In between all of the pointless plots and schemes of the past month (had it only been a month since Mikael died?) Caroline was having fun spending time with Rebekah and Kol.  Sure, the novelty of pretending not to know each other had been great at first, but now it was just frustrating. It did give her (relative) immunity from Elijah in terms of pranks, the look on his face when he walked into his study, and found all of his documents out of order, and his carefully organized closet was priceless.  It was a close second to the long game she played regarding his Bonfire Season presents in the fifteenth century; it would take a lot to top that.

But she missed Klaus.  She missed him knowing her, knowing the real her.  Five months ago, he was the one person who knew almost everything about her.  Caroline sometimes thought she could see something in his eyes, when she wore the perfume he had given her, or the earrings that he had given her on their anniversary.  She just didn’t know how to get his memories back.  Well that wasn’t true, the Doctor would probably have the answer she needed but that would mean explain the Klaus of it all. She had already made a pro/con list about telling Klaus, and the pros outweighed the cons - like by a lot.  It just came down to getting the courage to fight for what she wanted, and she wanted Klaus.

The sound of her phone ringing brought her out of her musings.  Checking the caller ID, Caroline rolled her eyes and tossed it back into her bag.  She wasn’t dealing with any Mystic Falls drama for at least the next week.  Turning onto her stomach, Caroline contemplated where to go for dinner - oh who was she kidding?  She knew she was going to end up at the anti-gravity restaurant.  She had even brought her own bib!

I procrastinate by distracting myself with different things to do, as if I will magically gather up enough strength to do the things I’m supposed to do, and as if the impending doom at the back of my mind isn’t draining every ounce of energy off me.

Every time the clock is ticking, I feel incredibly lonely, and in fact, I’m just helpless and my mind desperately needs somewhere else to go to, other than the task at hand and it latches onto you, this vague memory of you and my illusionary idea of you, fading into one.

I hang onto the thought of you, I always do, because you were the only experience with love I’ve ever had, because I thought it was real. It was real, wasn’t it? I’ve never had an actual person love and cherish me the way you did (albeit probably not in the best way) and then discard and abandon me the way you did (in the worst way possible). You made me wonder, time and time again, if it was real, as if I met a time-traveler, or a reptile-person, or an alien, and no one could confirm it was true (it was like their cover-up against my testimony, which was the only testimony), and no one believed my encounter, which has stayed with me as a secret I could never bring up, unless someone at the table brought it up, but not because they knew this incident of my past, but because they heard it from the news, about another person involved, as if I wasn’t the one deeply affected by this incident. And most of the time, the matter just got swept under the table, as if I wasn’t allowed to delve deep into it, because I wasn’t supposed to, because I, like everyone else, should’ve already moved on a long time ago.

And I did, I did move on and I never thought I would still be writing about you right here, right now. I’m genuinely surprised, and a little bit disgusted by this cringey ongoing passage about you, a man I don’t think I love anymore, being the me I am now. I’m not sure how I feel about you anymore, sometimes I still feel things (maybe?), sometimes I just feel numb and confused (?), sometimes I feel like I want to feel things about you but apparently I don’t, I don’t anymore. I think about you because I want to think about the future. I want to imagine what my future partner would be like, but why do I have to think about you? Why do I have to think about old love to conjure up some ideas for new love? It doesn’t have to be, right? But I guess it’s just a helpless instinct for human to resort to past experience for some new direction in order to navigate in life. I guess it’s just the way it is because old habits really die screaming.

(p.s. I’m just marveling at the fact that taylor’s songwriting has once again subconsciously affected me and made me spill out some fragments of this prose like the part about the incident and the conspired cover-up and the way old habits die screaming. I didn’t realize I was affected by these notions and metaphors until I was writing about it.

In fact, I haven’t written such a personal piece in a long time and I’m thrilled by the prospect of possibly writing more by unraveling my thoughts and in the meantime discovering myself even more. I wish I would read more and write more.

And I’ve realized once again that sharing your writing could be such a vulnerable thing to do, like opening your wounds and putting yourself in jeopardy of judgement from others, so how taylor was able to share her long-kept secrets with the world is beyond belief. I know she’s been doing this for a long time but still the amount of courage it took and the amount of trust she placed in us and the world for understanding, for understanding her as she is, as a living and learning human being.)

And thats how my heart broke, realized, healed, and was set free. Taylor Swift is a goddess in writing lyrics, it connects with everything and its meant to be understood with thousand meanings. She really is something. And she is freaking good at what she do.

as crianças são terroristas

lembro-me de tamborilar o peito dele com os meus dedos. o corpo nú num quarto abafado. a boca cansada de amar, sedenta por mais. tenho os pés em contradição. parte de mim quer congelar o tempo em que vivo. ficar e existir, poder existir. outra parte de mim quer libertar o corpo, despedir-me dos visitantes, abrir a janela, renovar o ar empestado de sexo e dormir para acordar. acordar e fingir que nada aconteceu, nada fui. nada para além de uma vírgula na história de alguém, cujo nome não faço questão de lembrar.

a dicotomia do ficar ou ir, acabar ou prosseguir, para ou andar, revolve dentro do meu corpo, do meu sangue. nada no exterior denuncia a guerra que tenho em mim.

um corpo nú que se entrelaça num outro. um sexo duro que denuncia a fome de carne, amor, o desejo por paixão. uma mão que tamborila um peito peludo. tudo para marcar o ritmo do que pergunto. um sorriso matreiro que solta perguntas inocentes. todas para auxiliarem na análise que preciso fazer. para quê? hoje entendo que questiono e indago com o intuito de conhecer o âmago do sujeito. a pessoa. de saber quem é. de lhe encontrar e julgar os defeitos para que me seja legítimo fugir. para que seja justificável o abandono. para que me torne fantasma sem culpa.

os meus fantasmas forçam-me a sabotar tudo o que me rodeia para que eu possa fingir que tenho controlo no que faço e no que sou.

o amor quando exposto a doses pequenas e fugazes, permite-nos experimentar mais de diferentes formas.

o amor é uma experiência. resta saber qual o seu resultado.

tamborilei os dedos no seu peito peludo enquanto entenderia se ele quereria ficar. os homens são crianças com medo, que nunca puderam distinguir e entender as suas emoções.

as crianças são terroristas e toda a gente sabe que não é saudável negociar amor. muito menos com terroristas. por isso, brincamos com ele.

children are terrorists

i remember drumming my fingers on his chest.

our naked bodies in a stifling room.

my mouth, tired of loving, still thirsting for more.

my feet caught in contradiction.

part of me wants to freeze this moment, to stay and exist,

to be allowed to exist.

another part of me craves liberation,

to dismiss the visitors, open the window,

renew the air heavy with sex, and sleep until morning.

wake up and pretend none of it happened,

that i was nothing.

nothing but a comma in someone’s story,

a name i don’t care to remember.

the dichotomy of staying or leaving,

ending or continuing, pausing or moving on,

revolves within my body, in my blood.

nothing on the outside reveals the war inside me.

a naked body entwined with another.

a hard desire betrays the hunger for flesh,

for love, for the craving of passion.

a hand drumming on a hairy chest,

all to set the rhythm for the questions i ask.

a sly smile releases innocent questions,

each designed to aid in the analysis i must make.

for what purpose?

today i understand: i question, i probe,

to uncover the core of the other person.

to know who they are.

to find and judge their flaws,

so that leaving feels legitimate.

so that abandonment can be justified,

and i may become a ghost without guilt.

my ghosts compel me to sabotage everything around me,

so i can pretend i have control over what i do and who i am.

love, when experienced in fleeting, small doses,

allows us to explore it in different forms.

love is an experiment; its outcome remains uncertain.

i drummed my fingers on his hairy chest,

trying to decipher if he wanted to stay.

men are frightened children,

never taught to distinguish or understand their emotions.

children are terrorists,

and everyone knows you can’t negotiate love,

least of all with terrorists.

so, we play with it.

I just realised something. I know this very much may not happen, but IF I ever write a book and release it (which I’ve always dreamed of doing) it will probably be around the year 2030 because I have to finish school and grow up and actually write a book that is good enough to release, and if my book is about some teenager, that means they will have to be born like 2015. Like EXCUSE ME? 2015 was like five years ago? And that also means I won’t be able to write about someone who grew up listening to Taylor’s early albums, because they weren’t even born then! I can’t imagine reading a book about a teenager born after 2010 (and I’m not like a 30 year old person, I’m just used to reading about people who are like at least three years older than me).
