YOU KNOW WHAT. I DIDNT THINK OF IT AT FIRST BUT THAT POST WAS ABSOLUTELY PERCABETH INFLUENCED. DEEP FROM THE RECESSES OF MY SUBCONSCIOUS
OMG LITERALLY I HAVE NOT ACTIVELY THOUGHT ABOUT IT IN YEARS BUT IT'S ALWAYS THERE. LURKING. where's that post that says something like 'ships you liked at fourteen will forever define you' BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. I'd buried it in my brain until i saw that art and all of a sudden I am fourteen again having percabeth brainrot, with the sudden urge to reread the last olympian
I love all the videos I took during this show but this is one of favorites because if you listen closely, you can hear the exact moment that I realize which song she's introducing and immediately start crying. Mine has been one of my all time favorite songs since it came out almost 13 years ago and I truly do not even have words for how much being there for this surprise performance meant to me.
Video transcript:
Taylor on the big screen, sitting at her piano: This isn't my life, but what if it were? Like we're watching a movie and trying to write what those characters might be feeling. I say this because I wanna play a song that, um, when I wrote it I was writing about all these relationship things that hadn't happened to me yet, like, like there's -
Me: no...
Taylor: a drawer, um -
Me, tearfully: no...
Taylor: of my things at your place and things like that -
Crowd: [goes nuts]
Taylor: and like working through fights and not just breaking up, um, sorry there's a hair in my mouth that is aggressive. Anyway, so those are things that I was not partaking in at 18 and 19 when I wrote these songs but they're things that I really... it's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and rerecord them 'cause relating to them now, um, it's, it's really crazy to go back
Me, overlapping with Taylor, in a shaky voice: [only partially intelligible but I think it's something like "The only other one it could be is Speak Now but she already played that one like last week"]
Taylor: and listen to these songs that at the time were fantasy but now feel really relatable to me, and so this is, um, this is called Mine.
Obviously MDZS is great the way it is but oh my god it would have ruled so hard if Wangxian had been lesbians, you know? Like, it just feels like they should have been women. They DESERVE to be women!!!!!!
I’m gonna have time to write this weekend after the past month of work crazy!
I’m literally working on chapter 7 of You Made a Rebel Out of a Careless Man’s Careful Daughter as we speak! I have a extra one shot that is set during this chapter I’m going to work on after chapter 3 of The Parent Trap
I finally figured out Chapter 3 of The Parent Trap, will need the light hearted tone after You Made a Rebel Out of a Careless Man’s Careful Daughter.
So stay tuned I’m gonna pump out pages this weekend!!!
