So true

One of my favorite themes in Taylor’s music that runs from Fearless through Lover is learning, and then fighting tooth and nail to unlearn, “to be in love you have to fight to have the upper hand.” Throughout her adolescence and young adulthood, heartbreak after heartbreak teaches her that love is a game to be won. Blank Space is satire but of course there’s a grain of truth. By the time she met Joe she was so jaded that she was convinced he wasn’t serious/was playing her — and throughout lover we see her figuring out how to settle in and learn to deal with conflict in a real adult relationship that isn’t about winning or losing but working together, trusting the other person’s intentions and building something real. And for a moment she succeeds … and then it takes a dark turn and becomes not a game, but a war. Fighting him, fighting for him. And the battle takes such a toll on her that she is worn down almost back to the naive girl she was before she learned that first “lesson” — that some people are only in it for the chase and lose interest the moment they’ve got you hooked, that some people say forever and always when they don’t mean it at all — in the first place.

if you boil it down taylor swift fans are really just fans of storytelling in pop songs

Oh how Hozier has written an album about the absolute worst humanity has to offer, all our sins and crimes laid bare, and he says you are forgiven with so much tenderness. This is what makes you human. This is what makes you complex in the most beautiful ways. Look at the tragedy around you, and look at the survivors. Aren’t you all just so beautiful in your efforts to strive forward and begin again.

when hozier said “the likes of a darkness so deep that god at the start couldn’t bear” and when hozier said “i’d still know you not being shown you i only need the working of my hands” and when hozier said “some part of me must have died the first time that you called me baby” and when hozier said “i would still be surprised i could find you darling in any life” and when hozier said “heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i” and when hozier said “but if we fall i only pray don’t fall away from me” and when hozier said “you were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands and darling i haven’t felt it since then” and when hozier said “if there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact they didn’t do it right” and when hozier said “if i was a riptide i wouldn’t take you out” and when hozier said “darling there’s a part of me i’m afraid will always be trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life” and when hozier said “do you know i could break beneath the weight of the goodness love i still carry for you” and when hozier said “darkness always finds you either way it creeps into the corners as the moment fades” and when

Buffy season villain escalation:

What's the evilest thing you can imagine? A vampire who is trying to destroy the world

What's even eviler than a vampire trying to destroy the world? A vampire trying to destroy the world who is a soulless demon with the face of the person you're in love with

What's more evil than that vampire? A local government official

What's more evil than a local government official? The united states military

What's more evil than the United states military? A literal god of hell

What's more evil than a literal god of hell? A white man who is a raging misogynist & also depression

What's more evil than depression & a white man who is a raging misogynist? The embodiment of evil itself. & That's a wrap folks!!

The most beautiful version of From Eden

Dublin, December 2019

the thing hozier does with his voice on "take my whiskey neeeeEattt" is heroin into my veins

forever haunted by hozier's face when he sings "put me back in it" (and by haunted i mean i'm clawing my eyes out)

I think about how hayao miyazaki said that love is two people inspiring each other to live. and to live doesn’t just mean to be alive. living involves finding beauty in the simple moments of being. so to inspire someone to be in awe of the simplicity of living? that’s special

his ass is NOT getting away from the sound of the woman that loved him 😂

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

why would you come to this club and just shoot Myers & Briggs like this

they deserved it

Sooo... Um. "Fool for love" huh.

I wish my brain was functioning properly right now so I could write a fucking doctoral thesis about how absolutely BRILLIANT this episode is. However, it left me curled up on the floor shaking and crying, unable to put words together in a sentence that would make sense to anyone but me. So, yeah. What a fucking episode!?

As a side note, the fact that btvs writers clearly could write something of such quality but didn't /couldn't makes me really fucking sad. Because nothing in this show prior to this episode made me so feral and I feel like they missed out on a lot of opportunities to make their show this special.

A bit of incoherent thoughts because I just need to put it somewhere: something about Spike saying "I've always been bad" and them cutting to him being nice and kind and polite and gentle. Something about them telling us that demons are just shells of humans with no emotions or anything underneath. And then showing us bits and pieces of human Spike that he somehow got to keep? (like that parallel between vamp Spike saying "ow ow ow" as Buffy bits him up and human Spike saying the same thing as Dru draines him). Don't get me wrong he's a fucking asshole but he's capable of decency (if not kindness) and he's still as cringe as he was before he grew out a shiny pair of fangs. And him KNEELING BEFORE BUFFY as he tells her the secret of her mortality (crappy screenshot attached because I can't get ot out of my head)

And him being unable to kill her and being the only person that kept her company in THAT moment.

There's more things but my brain is all mushy and I literally can't think straight.
