So You Know How The Main Lame Guy From The ME! Mv Is Clearly Supposed To Be A Caricature Of Skint Poor

I need you guys to listen so bad, but I’m at least glad people on Twitter are starting to talk about this. The government of Canada is expanding Medically Assisted Death to cull the poor and disabled, and now suicidal and mentally ill (these are usually interchangeable of course here). It is EUGENICS and every single disabled rights organization is against it.

Disability payments are $1,200 a month. The average one bedroom apartment rent in the Greater Toronto Area (greatest pop. area by far here) is $2,000 a month. People with mental illnesses are on months long waitlists to get even a single publicly funded session. Weeks to get privately funded care which costs at least $200 a session. There is no housing here for disabled people. We are in one of the worst housing crises in the world right now.

Doctors are now offering MAiD unprompted to young suicidal people. This woman is 21, a health practitioner literally suggested she kill herself.

This is one of the worst Disability Rights Violations we’ve ever seen in Canada. The government is killing us because it is cheaper than funding healthcare, cheaper than giving people housing and food and basic human rights.

I’m Not “The Archer”, but I’m Arching My Back to Reach As Far As Possible. Lol

(**DISCLAIMER: This is just my own personal opinion. I am not connected to Taylor in any way, so don’t take as gospel. I’m looking at this from the perspective of a closeted relationship, so any mention of her being gay or ‘closeted’ or ‘in the closet’ is alleged she herself has not said this. In addition, I am not calling this a breakup song or insinuating there was a breakup, so don’t come for me. Lol**)

I have listened to this song probably 1,000 times since it was released on yesterday and with every single listen, I get a little more emotional. To me, this is a song about doubt, self-doubt, anxiety & insecurity in a relationship and as a lover/partner. Feeling like you’re losing someone or that you’re going to lose them—not because of a fight or because someone cheated, but because you’ve been searching for this type of love for God knows how long and now that it’s here in front of you, it scares you. It’s kind of like when you suddenly win the lottery and you’ve never had such a significant amount of money. It’s overwhelming and you don’t know how to react to or handle it.

“Combat. I’m ready for combat I say I don’t want that, but what if I do? Cause cruelty wins in the movies I’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you”

Perhaps in past relationships, she lost people because they were ready to take that next step and she wasn’t? Maybe she had painted those people in a specific light/in this perfect image in her eyes, but things happened that have caused them to change or changed her view of them and she didn’t know how to fix it, so she “jumps from the train and rides alone”. She doesn’t like conflict so she avoids it. She didn’t want to put up a fight then, but now she wants to fight, even though she doesn’t like conflict/confrontation. Taylor is ready for war. She’s ready to fight for the happy ending. However, her current lover places her on such a high pedestal and sees her so differently than she/everyone else does that she doubts herself as a lover/partner and doesn’t feel that she’s deserving of it. She’s a mess, but she’s the mess that her lover wants.

“Cruelty wins in the movies” because even though there’s almost always a happy ending, it’s not real. In real life, there aren’t always happy endings, so the ‘cruelty’ in that is that movies force-feed the notion that there is always a happy ending. People get so attached to this fictional concept that it’s almost like you’ve been lied to because, in real life, relationships just aren’t like the ones we see in movies. Love isn’t something that’s figured out in an hour and 30 minutes. In real life, Aladdin might not end up with Jasmine. Belle might choose an asshole like Gaston.

I think the “hundred thrown out speeches” are things Taylor never said to her lover because the consequences of telling someone how you really feel (rejection) are terrifying and now she wishes she had and realizes she still can. Maybe she’s admitting that she didn’t feel ‘emotionally mature’ or realizes that she can’t use naivety anymore as she’s getting older and in her own words:

Playing mind games is for the chase. In a real relationship or friendship, you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t tell the other person how you feel, and what could be done to fix it. No one is a mind reader. If someone really loves you, they want you to verbalize how you feel. This is real life, not chess.

“Who could ever leave me, darling But who could stay? Dark side, I search for your dark side But what if I’m alright, right, right, right here? And I cut off my nose just to spite my face Then I hate my reflection for years and years

I think she’s so used to searching and ending up disappointed or being happy and having to sacrifice that happiness that she tries to find something wrong with a person or tries to find a way to hurt them so they’ll leave. However, her lover doesn’t bite and now there’s a lot of unnecessary pain/self-inflicted wounds that are slow to heal. Now, it’s like Taylor is realizing the person she’s looking for is the person she’s with and that it’s always been them. The one who could leave her when she’s tried to sabotage the relationship hasn’t whereas anyone else would have. In NYD she promised her lover that she would stay when they were lost and scared and turning away; but in The Archer, the tables are turned: the lover has stayed while Taylor is the one who’s lost, scared & turning away.

“I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost The room is on fire, invisible smoke And all of my heroes die all alone Help me hold on to you Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling, But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me) Cause they see right through me They see right through me They see right through Can you see right through me? They see right through They see right through me I see right through me I see right through me All the king’s horses, all the king’s men Couldn’t put me together again Cause all of my enemies started out friends Help me hold on to you”

This part is where the song got really emotional for me. The anxiety, doubt, and insecurities she has about the relationship and the added weight of being closeted keeps her up at night. She paces like a ghost meaning she hides her feelings. “They” (people) hear her, but don’t really hear her. They see her, but don’t really see her. She doesn’t know who she is anymore, but she knows that this whole front she puts up isn’t the real her. She asks her lover if they can see through her as well. It kinda sounds like she’s crying out for help or to be saved. After all “to be truly seen is a far greater freedom than to be invisible.” (credit to Spade). This is also why I recommend the film “Beyond the Lights” to people.

The people who would normally help her can’t fix this. People she’d normally call for help aren’t there anymore. Not because of a falling out necessarily, but sometimes you’re the only one who can help yourself. Like Spade said:

“as I laid there unaware, the sun came to me and whispered its warmth into my broken parts | Slowly, I turned to her, and said “Are you saving me?” | She responded with truth “No, you decide your fate.”

She’s been the archer (the one who chases) and the prey (the chased). She’s been the archer (the one in control) and the prey (the vulnerable one). She’s been the archer—the one who’s taken shots and the prey—the one who’s taken shots.

Now, she’s confident. Now, she’s ready for combat.

#bettyisgay

‘kay i guess it’s time to share my interpretation of betty bc the straights are causing a ruckus. james is not a boy and james did not cheat. james is a teenage lesbian whomst is secretly in love with her best friend, betty. (obviously the angsty secret feelings are hella mutual) james is too scared to shoot her shot with betty, but they’re really starting to connect and they’re on the brink of something romantic. then the dance rolls around. james shows up with her high heels on cobblestone, psyching herself up to ask betty to dance, to make a move. but then she sees betty dancing with some guy and, understandably, she’s hurt and heartbroken. she leaves the dance feeling the embarrassment and hopelessness of being in love with a girl who you think has chosen a dumb boy over you. as she’s walking home, her friend “august” pulls up and offers james a ride and a talk. they bond over james’s failed crush on betty and become really close really fast. “those days turned into nights” implies that the intentions weren’t originally romantic, but when you’re gay and young and trying to bury feelings for a girl who likes someone else…..things happen, you know i mean? days do indeed turn into nights. when betty hears - from inez, the untrustworthy dramastarter who actually has a heart of gold in there somewhere - that james is gettin it on with august, she’s now feeling how james was at the dance. james is ghosting her and there’s this huge misunderstanding. it’s an acutely sapphic mess. james daydreaming about apologizing to betty is literally as gay as it gets. “would you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?!” is saying, will you love me enough to be brave? to proudly be with me, even though it might mean losing some homophobic, small minded people you’re close to?

james isn’t saying “betty, i cheated on you, lol sry…wanna makeout?” it’s james saying “betty, i love you. for a long time i was scared of that and of telling you how i felt. i hurt you with my dishonesty and my silence. i made you question our relationship and yourself because i didn’t have the courage to tell you this before. i’m sorry that i spent the summer with another girl. i thought i could make those feelings go away, but you can’t seem to stop taking my breath away. will you please give me a second chance? this time i’ll be braver. i swear it, betty. but if i ruined it forever, if you need to tell me to go f*ck myself…i’ll respect that, too.”

or at least that’s my take on it.

My friend told me to tell her all the good Kaylor posts about the new album. I’m like girl sit down. So I wanted to make a post of Kaylor album “coincidences” now before album is even released. 

In March 2014 Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss went to Big Sur. Here are some photos they posted from that trip: 

Here are the photos Karlie posted TODAY: 

Photos Taylor posted TODAY: 

TODAY is July 23rd the start of Leo season. Karlie is a leo born August 3rd. 

Karlie posted this video last week and she’s wearing a cardigan in the woods in a white dress, one of Taylor’s songs is called cardigan: 

the 1 is a highway in california

Cardigan we already went over

seven ( Karlie and Taylor have known each other 7 years in November )

August is Karlie’s birthday and when we think they were engaged. 

I think the photos tell that Karlie is stepping into the daylight first and Taylor is still in the woods. That is why Taylor’s in black and white and Karlie’s is so vibrant. 

Karlie these past few months: 

While Taylor has been wearing black in her appearances she’s made over the past year (2020): 

Her latest album, folklore, is a refreshing departure from all that. It’s a newish sound for her, but the narrative style she uses on some of the album’s best tracks feels at once familiar and novel. It’s a callback to some of her earliest work. It’s “Enchanted” off Speak Now with its neutral pronouns and lyrics about being kept awake until 2 a.m. plagued by the “lingering question … ‘who do you love?’” It’s “Breathe” all over again. It all set the stage for “betty,” a song about a love triangle which, depending on how you listen to it, could be about three women and absolutely zero men. To arrive at that interpretation, you need to know that, like much of Swift’s best songwriting, it’s all coded: Swift is named for James Taylor and all three of the names used in the song — James, Inez, Betty — are the names of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’s three daughters. James is a woman and Betty, the classmate she pines for the entire song, is too. When James skateboards past Betty’s house, she can’t breathe.

It still works even if you don’t subscribe to the theory that James is a woman. In that read, Swift’s still singing as James. She’s donning a male persona, embodying him in a sort of musical drag. It takes Lover’s “The Man” from hypothetical to very literal. William Bowery, a songwriter nobody has ever heard of, has a credit on the track. There’s some speculation that this is Swift herself, once again using a male pen name. (She’s previously written as Nils Sjoberg when she didn’t want anyone to know it was her.) 

It’s a heteronormative interpretation of the song’s love story, but one that doesn’t make the song any less queer. (Plus, if you listen to “betty” as a trio with “cardigan” and “august,” you’ll still find the supposed love triangle arc has no male pronouns.) Consider it a more fluid version of what Swift did with “Love Story,” a song that on its surface sounds like it’s about a straight couple, but if you listen more closely, if you want to hear it differently, a queer narrative reveals itself. A story about a father who won’t let Juliet be with the person she loves. A male name — Romeo, James — used as a cover story. In “Love Story,” Swift sings and writes as Juliet. What she does with “betty” is a savvy move that frees her up to weave plot from a whole new perspective and give her queer fans what they’ve been thirsting for, all at the same time. Conspiracy theories about Swift still abound. The whole album is in lowercase save for Bon Iver’s name. His initials spell … you know. William Bowery is an anagram for “wow I’m really bi.” And in a real back-breaking reach, some stans say if you listen to “Mad Woman” around the 1:15 mark you can hear the phrase “Taylor Kloss come out” hidden inside the lyrics. (The actual words are “till her claws come out.”)

When you see them back to back like this...very compelling in my opinion 😂💕🌼

Tea Time! We *might* be getting Blank Space (Taylor's Version) on April 16th. Here's what I know for sure: On May 11th, we're getting a single. 1989 (Taylor's Version) is coming out on May 14th. Because 1989 came out in 2014 and was her 5th studio album. The same way 4/9 was chosen because, with Fearless (Taylor's Version), she now owns 4/9 of her albums. We're getting Speak Now (Taylor's Version) on July 9th. I do not know what's happening in June. Good job on the Coney ISLAnd tea, btw!

🍵

on october 11th 2016 taylor went to the waverly inn for dinner with a few friends and (correct me if i’m wrong) that’s when we have determined that the All Part Of The Fucking Story tablecloth happened on account of the bodyguard from that night being snapped with a big folded white piece of paper in hand

and um so, i was looking up about the inn and get a load of the name of a nearby establishment:

St Tropez West Village....??

Question I could use some help on! Trying to convince a friend that Kaylor are still together and she said what about the lyrics of "It's Time To Go". What's the best, most concrete evidence to counter that? And, what's a good explanation for the song it's time to go that isn't a jab at Karlie? Would love people's thoughts!

Can someone answer this for the anon?

I GET SO HIGH, OH!
