no YOU’RE listening to sw:tcw soundtrack while procrastinating writing

totally not me

About a year and half ago I wrote a song about an incredible story, the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her longing and her stillness. Her curiosity and fear, all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness… and the world’s betrayal of it. I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then Aaron Dessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment in time when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now 🥺

i watched the entirety of the clone wars in a week and a half and i don’t know if i should be proud, disappointed, or simply worried by how quickly that show grabbed me by the heartstrings

yep! them’s the rules.

if you don’t like hayden you can make like a zillo beast and bury yourself in the ground for a thousand years.

Take several seats because “You Need To Calm Down” came out 3 YEARS AGO TODAY! In case you needed a reminder, we all got crowns, so show us yours 👑🌈 taylor.lnk.to/yntcd

Was today real? We feel like we made it up. All Too Well: The Short Film is just as incredible seven months later, and today’s Tribeca Storytellers Talk with Taylor, Sadie Sink, Dylan O’Brien, and Mike Mills made us remember that all too well!

Chain of Thorns Reverse Cover Reveal

Hello everyone and check out Charlie Bowater’s gorgeous reverse cover art for #Chainofthorns! We worked together to get a spooky, dark London vibe, which will make a ton of sense once you’ve read the book. I love how Batman James looks here, gazing out over the rooftops of London. So you can switch up your covers, but remember you have to pre order to get the first collector’s edition! Later editions will just have a regular cover. As for those of you in the UK/Ireland/Aus/NZ, while the books there don’t have dust jackets, this art WILL be incorporated into their collector’s first editions as well. I’ll keep you posted on how.

Soon. ❤️💙❤️💙

casual evening in the dorms

Watching the princess bride and Wesley just said “I think everyone will be wearing them in the future” when Fezzik asks about his mask that’s so funny they were on point in 1987

I’m starting to really appreciate fictional characters who either

A. Have no idea what genre they’re in…. OR

ex: Fessik, Lydia Martin, Han Solo, Alina Starkov, Magnus Bane, Anthony Bridgerton

B. Know EXACTLY both what genre they’re in and their archetype

ex: Inigo Montoya, Artemis Fowl, Kaz Brekker, Jace Herondale, Daphne Bridgerton

These categories are flexible. We also accept….

C. Characters who know their genre but not their archetype

ex: Colin Bridgerton, Zoya Nazyalenski, Obi-Wan Kenobi

D. Know their archetype but not what genre they’re in

ex: Count Olaf, Butler, Nikolai Lanstov, Din Djarin

Princess Bride fanart? ✨As you wish✨

I need to know if this movie played an integral part in your childhoods like it did mine ngxngxg

This was one of those films that played on literal repeat for me and my family friends as a kid — though my parents always skipped the R.O.U.S scene bc they thought it was too scary 💀 I turned out to be a huge weenie, so maybe they were right lmao

It’s been on my mind a lot recently, since I finished reading As You Wish by Cary Elwes, the guy who played Wesley! Highly recommend it if you are interested in hearing about the making-of this iconic movie 👀👌✨

Doctor Who is literally about time travel, it’s about exploring the past as well as the future.

It is thematically on point for it to dwell in nostalgia now and then! It’s what the characters do.

You’ve got something good, why not revisit it once in a while? That’s the point of having a spaceship.

It felt like a perfect day to celebrate the Class of ’22! 🎓

rwrb quotes that make me go feral:

Alex throws his head back and laughs handsomely, loud and false. "Go fuck yourself"

"Hardly enough time", Henry says

(page 36)

"I had a magazine with his face on it at my desk, once, because I was in it and he happened to be on the cover.

"You stared at it for an hour"

(page 59)

He stares at the screen, at his own message, for a few seconds too long, suddenly afraid it was a stupid thing to say. He shakes his head, puts the phone down. Locks it. Changes his mind, picks it up again. Unlocks it. Sees the little typing bubble on Henry's side of the conversation. Puts the phone down. Looks away. Looks back. [...]

He would really appreciate it if Henry would stop proving him wrong.

(page 72)

"Okay", Alex says.

"Okay", Henry agrees.

"Okay", Alex says again.

(page 83)

"Christ, you are as thick as it gets", he says, and he grabs Alex's face in both hands and kisses him

(page 107)

In his head, he tries to cobble a list together in a panic, gets as far as, One, Henry's lips are soft, and short-circuits

(page 108)

and texts Alex at weird hours of the night: You're a mad, spiteful, unmitigated demon, and I'm going to kiss you until you forget how to talk

(page 158)

Alex's heart goes so fucking weird that he has to put his head in his hands for a full minute

(page 160)

He rolls onto his stomach, considers, and very deliberately says "Baby".

It's become a thing: baby. He knows it's become a thing. He's slipped up and accidentally said it a few times, and each time Henry positively melts and Alex pretends not to notice, but he's not above playing dirty here.

There's a slow hiss of an exhale across the line, like air escaping through a crack in the windows.

(page 166)

"I miss you", Alex says before he can stop himself.

He instantly regrets it, but Henry says, "I miss you too"

(page 173)

And through it all, Alex realizes with a start: He has friends now

(page 201)

I'll be damned but I miss you

(page 203)

"And you are good. Most things are awful most of the time, but you're good"

[...]

Henry kisses his mouth over and over again and says quietly, "You are good"

(page 230)

"Oh my God, I thought you were getting into international relations or something"

"I mean, technically-"

"If you finish that sentence, I'm gonna spend tonight in jail"

(page 233)

"Would it make any difference at all if I told you not to see him again?"

"No"

(page 234)

History, huh? Bet we could make some

(page 241)

Should I tell you that when we're apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I've just been with you, the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck fresh and not imagined? That I can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache? That, for a few moments, I can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?

(page 242)

Goddamn, I love him. It keeps coming back to him, and it's getting harder to look into Henry's soft smiles and not say it.

(page 261)

"So glad you flew here to insult me-"

"I fucking love you, okay?, Alex half yells, finally, irreversibly

(page 271)

He tells his too-fast brain: Don't miss it this time. He's too important

(page 275)

When Alex was a kid, before anyone knew his name, he dreamed of love like it was a fairy tale, as if it would come sweeping into his life on the back of a dragon one day. When he got older, he learned about love as a strange thing that could fall apart no matter how badly you wanted it, a choice you make anyway. He never imagined it'd turn out he was right both times

(page 280)

At cruising altitude, he takes the chain off his neck and slides the ring next to the old house key. They clink together gently as he tucks them both under his shirt, two homes side by side

(page 291)

I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire

(page 300)

"You and me and history, remember? I'm never gonna love anybody in the world like I love you. So, I promise you, one day we'll be able to just be"

(page 312)

on the map of you, my fingers can always find the green hills, wales. cool waters and a shore of white chalk. the ancient part of you carved out of stone in a prayerful circle, sacrosanct. your spine's a ridge i'd die climbing

(page 320)

He takes a breath. "But the thing is, jumping off cliffs is kinda my thing. That's the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose"

(page 344)

He called Henry the North Star once. That wasn't bright enough

(page 399)

He would have taken Henry's face in both hands and kissed him hard and deep and on purpose and said, "Take anything you want and know you deserve to have it"

(page 407)

Henry's smiling so wide and bright that Alex thinks his heart's going to break trying to hold the size of this entire moment, the completeness of it, a thousand years of history swelling inside his rib cage

(page 414)

okay but the end note in sante fe is just pure heroin in song form, no one can convince me otherwise

I have some thoughts about One last stop by Casey Mcquiston and reviews I've seen by Argentinian book influencers mainly on tiktok and instagram.

I don't know if they all came to an agreement to say shit about the book or the "ringleader" told them all what to say. Literally every person from my country who's read the book has talked absolute SHIT about it. One of them even claimed this is the WORST book recommended by tiktok, and because she has a lot of influence over the community, a lot of people started saying they will not be reading the book. About this, I have some shit to say.

1. If you liked Red, white and royal blue (by the same author) and you didn't like One last stop, you may be a bigot. Don't get me wrong, I love Alex and Henry, but August and Jane's story is truly beautiful and well constructed as well. Is it that you don't like that they fall in love quickly or is it that you can't sympathize with queer women?

2. American politics are impossible to understand if you're not American. That being said, Red, white and royal blue has a lot of talk about politics, and that's fine because it's essential, so we gotta put up with it. Now, what about queer history in One last stop? I've seen people say One last stop has a lot of filler that adds nothing. I think all the little stories are important to the development of the story. The pancake place, Auggies story, everything.

3. One last stop features a main character who is a 23 year old bisexual woman struggling to make ends meet. Been there, done that. That's all I gotta say here, this character is hella relatable if you struggle with work and money and love and housing.

4. August is such a sweetheart. She's so caring, and stubborn, and funny, and clumsy. She's a proud woman trying to make something of her life.

5. Regarding influencers, I gotta say they have more power than we realize. I know I have to be the person choosing what interests me and what I want to read. Some people, unfortunately, don't know better, so they'll consume what's fed to them. There's this girl who is a writer and of course she wants ppl to read her book, but this very same person said One last stop is the worst book that "came out of" tiktok, meaning it became popular in the app. So her fans or followers now will not read the book because she said it's bad. A lot of people, not only her, recommend books with horrible plots or characters, with content that may be harmful for some people. And they glorify the books!! What's to glorify about an asshole of a male character who treats women like shit? because inside he cares about her!! Please. Have some common sense.

6. I know. I know I'm making it too big of a deal. But the thing is, when I read One last stop I recommended it to everyone because I loved the characters, loved the story and the way it made me reflect upon our history. I remind you I live in Argentina, but unfortunately hate crimes do exist here. I could go out tomorrow holding a girl's hand and be beaten to death. My brother can be assaulted in the streets for being gay. No queer person is safe and it's really important for us to think about this. Shit like this happened in the 70s and they still happen today in 2022. This is our history. We should never forget the names of people who died trying to live their lives freely and unafraid.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

me reading the percy jackson books in fifth grade: yeah that’s a normal age for them to go on all those insane quests

me age 21 seeing the percy casting and realizing that they were in fact babies: hey what the fuck
