one day I’m actually going to grab everything I went through last year and pour it into a raritwi breakup fic where they don’t get back together and I don’t do my usual thing where I hint there’s hope for them

And I think that will probably be a very emotional and good fic but also it’ll probably be incredibly crushing more than anything Ive ever done so honestly maybe we should all be grateful I haven’t written it yet

#I’ve been listening to JP Saxe’s ‘A Little Bit Yours’#and i can feel it clawing at me #‘all i do is get over you and I’m so bad at it’#‘maybe if I’d said the right things it never would have gone this way’#‘but maybe that’s the problem cause I still kinda think it was up to me’#‘when I never could have made you stay’#rarity moves away from ponyville because everything is twilight #and she sees twilight just lock it out block it out put it away in a box and move on #and rarity can’t #and she tries #and tries #and a thousand miles away #in the dark of the night #the silence staring her down #she has to live with the idea that twilight got over her like that #that twilight probably already let go long long ago #and yet rarity is there knowing still she’d kill if twilight asked her to #and there’s no victory in that #no poetry or muse #no beauty #it’s just sad and pathetic and a masochism and so self centered #to cling to the hope that twilight still loves her or needs her when she knows it’s not true and it never will be #and the element of generosity wonders when her core got twisted #when generosity and caring and giving became erasing yourself for some pony else #and maybe one day it’ll stop #maybe one day she’ll be fine #but for now #she quietly makes peace with a simple fact #that even if twilight sparkle isn’t hers anymore and never will be again #at least for now rarity is still a little bit twilight’s

man what can i say abt date besides “it went well.” it was six hours instead of nine this time only and exclusively because she had a dnd thing that ran late. Probably would have been nine hours again if we didn’t hit like 3AM by accident

#musings #in my defense. girl #she makes me feel so steady and cozy and she makes me laugh so much #and we never stop talking but most crucially: she listens. and her words build on mine #making a word castle up in here

kinda need yakumo and quincy to makeout sloppy style if i’m gonna be completely honest

#listen. we all know quincy fucking loves kissing #and yakumo. obviously. also loves kissing #not only does he love kissing but he loves shoving his snake tongue down his partner’s throat #and you know damn well quincy’s into that kinda thing #for the first time in his life yakumo is going to meet someone who not only shares his love and passion for kissing #but ALSO someone who matches his freak #(someone who isn’t scared off by his snake tongue and can match his stamina and enthusiasm head on)#i honestly don’t know who loves making out more tbh #either way once those two start kissing.. i hope you didn’t need them for anything because they are NOT stopping until one of them damn near #passes out #nu carnival #yakumo ♡#quincy ♡#quincamo #mouser muses

I love the rhyming on ttpd. can only think of two examples currently but I know there’s more.

#the dancing phantoms on the terrace do they get second hand embarrassed #is e v e r y t h I n g #but also I can’t stop thinking about:#you. look. like. taylor swift. in this light—we’re lovin’ it #like just the flow. the cadence. not even just the rhyme but #her ease with language and playfulness with it and all the little pockets and corners of so many songs #even ones you think you don’t like. settle in with time!#like the thing about taylor is that she is VERY much a poet #in that some of her genius/way with words is innate #and the images and stuff she uses the turns of phrase can feel so garish and embarrassing on first listen #they JAR #but honestly I think it’s because she is truly …. new? she is doing something NEW #and the shock and outrage that always goes with new things is always present with a Taylor album #and I think she’s drawing on so much from the past to write but she is so deeply rooted in the present cultural moment #so it’s so easy to dismiss her writing on first glance as like. idk a college girl’s idea of poetry #as being too Stark or Melodramatic.#she loves OBVIOUS imagery and extremely dramatic ones too #but she isn’t actually just throwing stuff at the wall #because pretty much always. it starts to land and soften and settle #and the image she’s chosen has done its job of drawing you into a world #and/or communicating an emotion #and sometimes it’s so upsetting. like. get me out of the bedroom with Matty Healy taylor!!!!!!!!!! but. the art is art-ing!#I guess is what I’m saying. she’s good at this it isn’t just hype #but some of it really is that she’s taking us places we might not want to go or are so quick to pass judgment on #as being unworthy of a song or more importantly a poem. but present art HAS to do that #and does do it!!!!!! idk I am just. musing

oscars drama is always embarrassing but today especially because why are people acting like greta gerwig and margo robbie are the only women to ever exist within the film industry and ignoring and throwing the women who got nominated over them under the bus? and of course not a single person is talking about greta lee and celine song being snubbed for past lives (a better film in my opinion,) I wonder why... 😒

#obviously the oscars and film industry at large have a misogyny problem but ppl only talk about it when it affects white women #and greta and margot were both nominated for other awards! they're fine and do not need you to defend their honor online!#it sucks that the academy so rarely recognizes female directors and there's so many amazing women who could have been nominated this year #but this is unproductive and stupid discourse imo pls listen to woman of color and stop treating white feminism as the end all be all #oscars 2024 #film #enigma musings

i am currently trying hard to remember which friend pointed out that 12 would also inadvertently hurt River the way 11 did. they don't really mean to but with the way they have a hard time reading social cues - and they're still the same person basically. anyways, my dear pudding brain, please let me remember which friend it is so i can go back over our conversation so i can put that knowledge to good use - uh no wait it was Tree :D

#this is literally how my brain works. i need to know A but first I ramble down B then C often jump to S then make a pit stop at U which #somehow leads me back to A.#neurodivergent #musings #that's probably why i soak up knowledge better when i discuss it with others rather than just listen to the professor #the doctor x river song #doctor x river #eleventh doctor #river song #the doctor #twelfth doctor #i wish i'd be able to get officially diagnosed with this but a part of me fears i'd mask so well the test results would come back normal T_

I'm sure I won't be the first to point this out but I really admire the way Halsey was able to create songs which were explicitly inspired by certain artists without ever once losing the ineffable essence that makes her art hers. I'm not on instagram so I missed the whole parade of influences thing - I got that the gist of the album would be this sort of muddle of identities and eras but didn't know each song would have a specific influence. Listening to the album without the full context, I appreciated the scope of its diversity but I never once felt like anything was a copy or an inauthentic expression. It felt strangely cohesive in its chaos and most of all it was, quintessentially, a Halsey album. It's fascinating how, in leaning so hard into this idea of impersonation, they actually proved more than ever what an incredibly distinctive artist (and human being) they are.

#Halsey #The Great Impersonator #listening to this album was such a strange experience #throughout most of it I was liking it but I wasn’t emotional #but then all of a sudden towards the end I started to get so teary and emotional #not because of any one song but the build-up of the incredibly intimate journey the entire album had taken me on #and I haven’t re-listened to the entire album again but weirdly I have been thinking about it A LOT??#my fave tracks if anyone cares: Dog Years; Arsonist; Darwinism; Life of the Spider; Lonely is the Muse #listened to Lonely is the Muse again on my walk the other day and started sobbing lol #the letters to god are also amazing and gut-wrenching and the way they pin the album together is genius #ALSO also do yourself a favour and watch her 4 vevo live vids #i think they're half the reason I cant stop thinking about Halsey right now cos what the fuck??? what a fucking performer #ANYWAY jesus christ #if i cant have love i want power is probably still my favourite Halsey album but this one is really something special #my sister has not succumbed to my bullying so I havent had anyone to spill my many thoughts to sorryyyyyy #bullying her to hurry up and listen to the album I mean lol

what a great day to appreciate 'I belong to you' (2009)

#the way i'd have FOLDED for the man who'd have written that song for me #what a song what a feeling #been loving it since i listened to the whole 'the resistance' album for the first time #it's also my 'stop crying' song so it's double special #the french part makes me cringe but eh cringe is life #this screams muse
