I'm like panicking rn because the guy I used to have a crush on could be in my classes and one of the teachers I have this year knew I had a crush on him so if he's in that class it could be really awkward

every surprise song on the first leg of the eras tour (x)

This has been living rent free in my head since 2020 and I need a place to put it so I guess I'll put it here:

The golden gates are falling down keeping me away

The red and fire are calling out to me

I've tried to escape this realm of hurt and conflicting feelings

The answer's always just out of reach

Tumblr is the only place where I can execute an anonymous rein of terror and I'm here for it

Me and my bestie are rewatching mvs from midnights and Speak Now TV to find the days to clown about for reputation tv

Of course she ends the US leg with a song that she wrote for us, I'm not crying you are

The first completed album!!!!!!

New Year's Day is my comfort song the moment I find the live audio I am listening to it nonstop and crying I swear

girls don’t want boyfriends girls want taylor swift to run towards them during the bridge of august

Can we talk about the cover for a second? Do you remember how she said she specifically chose the picture where she wasn't smiling because she didn't want to give away the album or have people form an opinion on it based on the cover and the mysterious one was better? But now with her own version she's full on smiling with her whole face shown, hair blowing in the wind and she looks so joyful and free.

ANOTHER FUCKING BLUE

I SWEAR TO GOD IF WE DON'T GET 1989TV

katniss usually reserves the term beautiful for things of the capitol (or the capitol-esque districts). whether that be cinna's beautiful costumes (thg, 139; cf, 20) or the district one tributes (thg, 69, 192; cf, 54). the role of katniss's prep team is to make her beautiful (mj, 54). 

and because of this association with the capitol, katniss prides herself on not taking pleasure in it. she is eager to "scrub the scent of beauty from her body" when she is in the capitol (thg, 139). and she jokingly teases peeta for being susceptible to the capitol's beauty unlike her (cf, 60). even as prim compliments her on her beauty before the first reaping, katniss is quick to counter that she is nothing like herself (thg, 15).

because while she might describe her woods and the nature around her as beautiful, katniss does not directly call anyone in her close circle beautiful. she will imply that prim is beautiful like how her mother once was (thg, 3). or point out gale's beautiful hands as they assemble the snares (cf, 28). she will allude to the beauty of these people. but never directly coin them as beautiful. except for one person.

because in her overwhelming relief, the peeta that she eagerly rushes to embrace for the first time after the games is clean and healthy and beautiful (thg, 360). it is almost like her mind lets it slip in at the last second. that he is beautiful. and afterward, all of the items that peeta produces are labeled beautiful. his cakes (thg, 95), his cookies (cf, 8), and his pearl (107). it seems like everything that his hands touch become beautiful from association.

and for all of the talk katniss gives about not having an eye for beauty, she relies on it in what she thinks are her final moments. after katniss gives peeta the life-saving medicine and collapses in front of him, her eyes fall on a beautiful green-and-silver moth (thg, 189). and she eagerly searches for a final piece of beauty before the quell arena explodes. but she can't find peeta (cf, 108). she can't find his pearl (cf, 108). so, her eyes eventually settle on a star to give her comfort (cf, 108).

and so it is even more tragic that the one person she allowed herself to deem beautiful was morphed into something else. just like in haymitch's games, where all of the beauty of the eden-esque arena turned into a deadly facade (cf, 56). only now snow has turned katniss's beautiful boy with the bread into a personal weapon against her. and it is so demoralizing to katniss that she vows vengeance and then hopes for a quick death in the process.

but then that makes it even sweeter that peeta is the only person that truly comes back for katniss in the end. because the war was almost successful in taking away everything beautiful from katniss. gale's beautiful snare-constructing hands became the means of senseless violence. prim's face was no longer there to be reminiscent of katniss's mother's beauty.

but there he was. and although burns licked his forehead and scars were scattered throughout his body, no amount of fire could ever burn away the beautiful blue of his eyes. slowly, her beautiful boy came back to her. a long glance across the breakfast table. an awful joke directed towards him that was quickly rewarded with a smile that not even the games could take away (thg, 360). his embrace that hints of cinnamon and dill still there after all this time. because while the war may have convinced katniss that she was unworthy of beautiful things, her dandelion in the spring reminded her that she always was.

Girls don’t want to work, girls just want to exist for the sake of existing for a little while. Maybe in a field with a book.
