The Caity Lotz thing at ClexaCon has me so angry and it’s not because of what was said but it’s how people on here are reacting. Caity Lotz has been such a great ally and has fought for her character on a network that has been problematic and homophobic. When Lexa died, Caity basically called the CW out despite the fact that she could lose her job. When she said the d-word, she was quoting what someone else said about her character. It is not a big deal at all. She is someone that has proven to be sweet and supportive and willing to learn. Instead of saying “hey that wasn’t cool, don’t say that word” people are acting like Caity is the worst person to have ever existed and that she’s trash and sending her all sorts of hate.

We have got to stop treating allies like this. They are people just like we are. They are capable to being ignorant and making mistakes like we are. We’ve got to stop acting like we’re better than everyone. I am a cis white lesbian. I have accidentally misgendered people. I have had attitudes that I didn’t realize were racist but were. I am guilty of so many things but luckily I’m not a celebrity so I was allowed to learn and correct myself.

I am so tired of negativity. I am so tired of having to hate everyone for every mistake they have ever made. I hate this attitude that the gay fandom, especially lesbian fandoms have, that we only stan people who never make mistakes and are perfect 100% of the time. I have made so many mistakes. The “perfect” allies and actresses you stan have probably made mistakes that you haven’t seen. Let things go and calm down. Realize that there is a difference between problematic behavior and accidents born of ignorance.

I also want to add to this that Caity has always proven that she wants to learn instead of shutting down. She also did so with the white washing issue (Sara Lance is not a comicbook character but the White Canary gimmick belongs to an Asian character), she asked the person who tweeted her how she could be more educated about it and that she wanted to listen.

It’s so sad to see her be attacked like this …

2 + 2 Does Not = 5

There were some tags left on my earlier post (left by @myownlittlepinkworld) that I want to expand on regarding the overall narrative to this album and how when you really think about it, it makes total sense and no sense all at the same time (depending on your perspective). 

The tags left on that post point out how this album is about a strong relationship yet some of the lyrics allude to it being a newer relationship. For starters, that’s just unrealistic. The way her and Joe “got together” doesn’t fit the overall theme of the album at all, nor does it follow the typical progression of a mature, adult relationship. Right from the get-go on this album, Taylor is so sure this relationship is going to last. 

As Syd put it, if we view this album and the narrative surrounding it from the perspective that Taylor is actually straight, why in the world would she jump into a serious relationship shortly after not only one major break up, but two that happened in a span of literally 3 months? Added on top of that, she’s just been blasted by Kim and Kanye, everyone is calling her a snake, and her reputation/image is the worst it’s probably ever been. After all of that, I’m supposed to believe she decided to jump into a serious relationship, and right away she fully believed her and Joe were end game and they were going to last forever?

This makes literally NO sense. 

However, this is technically the narrative that’s being pushed. People must see how childish this is? Not to mention a bond like the one she’s describing does not happen that fast, and to pretend like it does is asinine. 

Also pointed out by @myownlittlepinkworld in our discussion after I reached out to her, it makes no sense that Taylor would write an entire album about a recent relationship when she’s been in the writing process for this album since probably late 2014/2015 (and majority of 2016, until she started recording). She started recording this album around the time she met Joe, and according to Scott Swift, this album was supposed to come out months ago. This information only shortens the time she supposedly had to write an entire album (about Joe) and then record it. Which again makes it implausible that it’s entirely (if at all) about him. 

I also find it extremely interesting that a lot of the songs (like Dress and DWOHT) have a line and sometimes even just a word that help link it back to him. On past albums, the whole song would be carefully and craftily masked by the stunt she had been participating in at the time while actually dating someone else. However, that’s not the case with Reputation. This time around, it’s almost as if she inserted those lines well after she had written the bulk of the song. And as a matter of fact, we know she did this with Dress since she’s been poking holes in her own timeline she created. 

Everything regarding this album would be far more realistic if Taylor was pushing that some songs were written about previous relationships and some are more in the now. That’s not what she’s doing though. She’s pushing that this entire album is about Joe, and is actually telling her fans it’s about him. That’s something she has never done before, and it leads me to think she’s doing this because she knows lyrically and narrative/timeline wise, none of it makes sense. 

And this is where it gets simple (that is if you opened your eyes and ears and were willing to actually think about what was stated above). It’s all just a cover for what she really wants to talk about. Like I pointed out in my previous post, there would be no need for Joe unless she wanted to write happy/in love songs about Karlie. And after the year Taylor just had, she could have easily written an album that was filled with doom and gloom songs. Because again, if we’re operating under the assumption that she ended two relationships and majority of the public thinks she’s a snake, she’d have every reason to. She didn’t do that though because that part of her public life isn’t actually what’s going on in her private life. 

TL;DR - It’s HIGHLY unrealistic Taylor wrote an entire album about Joe in that short of a time frame and with the intense feelings she’s describing. 

Uhhh how I missed these kinda posts from kaylornation. 

This is like breathing fresh air.

I KNOW, @iadorekaylor!!! I’m kinda wondering what made her scuttle back over our way, tbh. Here’s my Top 5 theories as to why (incognito(shhh)) KN’s mighty wheels have rolled our way once more: 5. Motorcycle Taylor’s smarty-pants stare 4. Rainbow trainers and the little octopus guy 🐙 3. Karlie’s red CMA’s dress 2. New T’s mixy-matchy historical fiction versions And 👵🏻’s #1 theory for what FINALLY pushed KN over the edge enough to fire up her dusty Kaylor Keyboard? (drum roll, etc.) 1. THAT RIDICULOUS BLOATED FANNY PACK - no doubt in my mind that was it - @larrienation never did take too well to stupid - and that d***ed F/P is staggeringly stupid

Erin is my best friend, and I can tell you with 98% certainty that the reason she’s put her pinky toe past the kaylor line recently is because this album is the gay anthem we’ve all waited for.

Also because finding asteroid sized holes in Taylor’s narrative is so fucking fun sometimes. @larrienation

Throwback Thursday

As some of you know, I’ve been taking a Copyright Law course. Me being the sleuth I am, I decided to look up Taylor’s songs in the Copyright Office’s public catalog. 

Remember how we always thought it was super weird Jack had no clue what was going on when he was informed that Taylor said YAIL was written about his relationship with Lena? Well, it just got a whole lot weirder. 

The image above is the copyright information regarding YAIL. As suspected, the date of creation is 2014 so she would have known Karlie by then. However, what I find most interesting is the fact that Jack is listed as a writer, specifically for lyrics (there are some that list music and lyrics in terms of authorship). I can’t believe I didn’t notice this before (or maybe someone else did and this entire post is pointless, rip).

Anyways, if this song was really about Jack and Lena, how is it that Jack had literally no idea? Even though he co-wrote the song with T? Am I actually supposed to believe that was never discussed during the writing process??

The most plausible explanation is that it wasn’t discussed because it’s not actually about them, and Taylor forgot to tell Jack she was going to use him and Lena as a cover. 

I also find it pretty suspect that a song like /that/ was written at a time when Taylor was “single” (lol). 

Alright folks, that’s it for this edition of: This Makes No Sense.

E! News confirming Karlie and Taylor are just fine… Also referencing Dress could be about Karlie 😅

After listening to Dress, I’m more alive than I’ve ever been.
