Who's afraid of You should be!!!!!

Little old me?

[whatyousyeiswhatyouget]

It's taken me several days to actually want to listen to the new album, and I can't say I think it was worth it. There are some good songs, and I still think her song writing is amazing, but the context of the songs (and seeing all the reviews before listening) didn't help. I've stopped loving her music like I did because of how my opinion of her has changed and that's a shame, but I'm just not as excited as I used to be. Also, I need more of the other artists on the collab songs. It happened on Midnights and, in my opinion, it happened again, but maybe that's just me.

the issue with ttpd personally is that I love some of the songs but sadly I've been force-fed her personal life so much, these details keep coming and leaves a bad taste in my mouth

You can't say "1830s without the racist" after writing an album about matty healy

"So high school" is a cute love song, but it's about our xenophobic racist king tk

"I can fix him" have some elements I like but it's about mh and her getting offended she's being held responsible for her problematic actions

"guilty as sin?" is one of my favs, but it reads very different when you know (unfortunately) the context

"so long, london" is amazing, but just like "renegade" she blames joe alwyn for having mental health issues, but also out them to the world which is the worst part of it all

wishing I didn't know the context, but it is practically impossible to engage in any taylor swift space without knowing

okay. i debated not posting this because I was worried I’d get death threats (that says a lot doesn’t it) but it needs to be said, because its upsetting me.

a woman who publicly says she feels very sane and has “never been to therapy” and who breaks up with her boyfriend in part because he can’t just “”get over”” his depression to love her the way she wants/needs does not.

I repeat, does not.

get to use the imagery she did in her fortnight video.

I’ve been seeing gifsets and screenshots all day of her chained to a bed but ~aesthetic~ and being fed a pill after a cheeky side eye and strapped to a glamourfied ECT machine and no one has said anything about it so I will. those images are genuinely triggering for me.

people have been restrained, forcefed pills, and given electroconvulsive therapy or subjected to the electric chair for severe mental illness against their will. these are not fun props anyone gets to throw around to express that they feel depressed or in a “manic phase” or like they were “raised in an asylum.”

she doesn’t know how a real asylum fried my grandmother’s brain or real cops restrained me because I was psychotic and manic. she doesn’t know what it feels like to be dehumanised that way.

do better. demand she do better, too.

edit: I say that this content is triggering to say that it causes real harm. I do still have a responsibility to myself to curate an internet experience for myself. this does not negate her responsibility to avoid replicating harmful tropes in art which is deeply influential. she does not get to co-opt institutionalization or psychiatric violence as a romanticized aesthetic or as a metaphor because real people like myself have suffered greatly under the things she is representing as glamorous or cool. institutionalization silences and violates mentally ill people in a way that marginalizes them, and that experience should be treated with sensitivity and care rather than being commodified to reduce stigma. if she had experienced these things, I might feel differently, but other ableist content on the record and her statements on her life and art indicate otherwise. she is a woman with immense privilege and power and should not be using that privilege and power to punch down on mental illness.

Carla is one of the best characters in the show and she deserves more attention for that.

im so glad they highlighted buck figuring out his sexuality not being tommy’s responsibility.

[whatyousyeiswhatyouget]

“I would have liked to show you Florence, Will.”

“… Soup isn’t very good.”

this show is a romcom and I am not kidding

[whatyousyeiswhatyouget]

“tommy is gay?!” yeah babes, you can be a big macho man with very masculine interest and be gay, you’ll get there <3

[whatyousyeiswhatyouget]

“I need someone to dance with” they better get to dance with each other or I’m gonna fight someone!!

[whatyousyeiswhatyouget]

Finally allowing myself back on this app after watching the new episode and I don't even know what to think. I love Buck and Tommy so much (though the "I don't think you're ready" nearly broke me). Like I love Eddie too, but I think Tommy needs to have a season first for it to actually feel genuine. Also Hen and Karen just having a happy family moment is so fulfilling in this chaotic show (/pos).

I was not ready for this when it happened.

"Evan, I think you're adorable. But I don't think you're ready"

Ok, no problem. I'm fine. Ofc you can just rip my heart out like that. Ofc ofc. Nope, it did not hurt. Not Evan a bit. Tears?? What do you mean tears? No clue what you could mean
