legitimately so scary that i just made a doctors appointment for 2025. you mean the far distant sci fi future 2025? you mean the pacific rim 2025? you mean i have to go to the doctor while giant robots are fighting the fucking kaiju? fuck all the way offfffffff
Nothing gives the same kind of random ego boost like managing to finally clean up your home and making it nice. Like ooh look at me, I'm living like people do, I made myself iced tea and I am eating my snack from a real plate. I got floors and shit.
randomly remembering the time in 2012 when everyone kept saying the world was going to end at midday that day and like, i didnt really believe it, but i didnt want to be a complete fool if i was wrong, so i excused myself from class to go sit the field and perfectly timed the beat drop to a skrillex song just in case something happened. and im just. retroactively amused by the idea of ushering in the appocalypse with skrillex. most 2012 thing you could possibly do.
when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes
At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.
You must unlearn this.
You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.
If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.
i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.
This album is about how two men broke her heart just months apart and how she was quite literally going through a mental breakdown while trying to put on a front while performing for millions of people on a world tour but you wouldn’t know that because you’re either so caught up in trying to figure out who each song is about or your so caught up in your hate for her that you’d rather make fun of her in her most vulnerable, raw, and honest state just to make yourself feel better
I’d like to add these points as well
1. reading comprehension and nuance are actually needed sometimes when listening to music. this album is NOT shake it off or our song. she’s not a little girl anymore, nor is she a one-dimensional character for us to place our delusional headcanons onto. stop treating her as such
2. did some of you guys not get the whole theme of the album? or all the advertising? or what taylor has actually been saying about it? it’s essentially her word-vomit, poetic confessional about what she was feeling. this wasn’t a chapter-by-chapter biography detailing every event in their full objective truth. she’s writing from her perspective. have you guys never felt hurt or betrayed by someone? have you never romanticized someone you shouldn’t have? have you never blamed someone when you had a part in things going south? if you say no, you’re either a liar or you’re NOT the majority by a long shot
i’m sick of most of the discourse just being people not being willing to understand that a human being is, in fact, feeling human emotions as she’s writing highly personal songs.
she’s too poetic. she’s not poetic enough. she’s cringe. she’s dramatic. she’s not taking blame. she’s pitying herself for doing wrong. she’s not owning up to anything. why did she admit to that? why did she put that in a song?! she should go back to her old music. ew, that sounded too much like her old music. she needs to move on from the past. i hate her new stuff. this sounds too much like pop. she needs to go back to her fun songs! yikes, this lyric is too silly. why the fuck is this all so sad?
have you guys ever thought about how much happier you’d be if you stopped paying so much attention to someone you claim to hate? but no, you won’t. it’s too much fun. and all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Throwback to when I took painkillers and woke up with Photoshop open on my computer to this image I had made
Hi this currently has 37 thousand notes and I just want to ask - why?
Big Things Are Coming
Wealth, weal, and plentiful spoons are coming to me 👏
It is okay to not be “over it”.
I know a lot of us struggle silently, afraid our loved ones will judge us. Afraid they’ll think it’s been long enough.
There is no time line. There is no rule book. Some days are better than others. Some weeks. Some months.
Trauma doesn’t just go away and the bad days creep up on us and we feel we should suffer alone because it’s been “so long” and we should have “moved on”.
It is okay. It’s normal. You aren’t failing or weak. I promise.
wheres your whimsy. wheres your fucking whimsy
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.
I need this framed on my wall it’s so beautiful.
ay @systlin hmu
My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.
Solen sken, skönt gyllene
Dagen Tor föddes
På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell
Där låg Loke
—KJN
My translation:
The sun shone, sweet golden
The day of Tor’s birth
On the tarmac, by Taco Bell
There lay Loki
(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)
ay yo show ur husband
@bold-sartorial-statement no but hang on this should be in runes:
(oops spot the typos)
i wanna translate this into icelandic so imma do it
Sólin skein, björt og gullin við fæðingu Þórs á stígnum við Taco Bell Þar lá Loki
