#I think this is the most annoying thing about being a Taylor swift fan

[wewontbesleeping]

I really hate when I accidentally come across the stupidest ‘theories’ about Taylor Swift songs from casual or new fans on tiktok bc like. Well that’s simply not correct. And we all know that. Like it’s just factually incorrect to say question is about Justin Bieber. It’s just incredibly stupid. Yeah she wrote out of the woods about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. You figured it out. Congrats! Haven’t we suffered enough

[nicollekidman]

yeah we need an immediate press release from you on ~The Prologue~

i literally do not care about it at all like. you know my stance on the usefulness/health of taylor constantly going backwards and relitigating the emotional reality of her life in the past….. but the prologue just made me really sad and reemphasizes that for the hell the media scrutiny put her through, she made it even worse for herself (i’m not saying that in a way that Blames taylor but, she pathalogically cannot and could not let things go and find out who she was outside of rumors and reputation). imagine being 24 and deciding you can never be seen with men in case it makes rumors worse, imagine building yourself a wall of female friendship while thinking, in the forefront of your mind, this will save me. it’s sad!! but like she did fully feel like an animal in a cage constantly being hunted and that’s traumatizing. so the line everyone thinks is “slamming gaylors” reads to me more like. there was nothing i could do to escape this.

i don’t care to do another whole elementary school primer on how being gay isn’t a bad thing, being straight isn’t the default blah blah blah blah but it doesn’t matter. to her, any commentary or assumptions about her personal life made from her public life was painful. which is an extremely difficult lens to live under for so long.

but at this point it’s hard for me to be like 🥺🥺🥺 about any of this when she’s currently engaged in the most obnoxious PR stint of recent memory, swiftie’s sense of entitlement and boundary crossing has only been ENCOURAGED with the “vulnerability” and retreading of old ground in the re-records, and people on twitter are like FINALLY mother is telling those dykes how disgusting and deviant she thinks they are!!!

i hope that this exercise is somehow healing for taylor, and that she’s able to experience the reclamation she’s talking about. but for me personally? i know this music. i remember who i was and what life was like when i got this music for the first time. i know how it made me feel and how it still makes me feel and all the friendship and love it’s brought into my life. i do not care for the overall project that feels, to me, like torturing taylor’s younger self AND throwing a preemptive eulogy for her. i’ve never wanted to know less about anyone in my LIFE and i hope in general that she gets what she needs from this era so she can move on and look to the future and allow herself to experience new things in both her life and music without like. the aforementioned torture.

but at the end of the day she is a pop star. my relationship to her is as a fan of a musical artist. i don’t need all of This and it’s not my responsibility to engage with the music in a way that other fans thinks will Annoy Her The Least. i am a normal person with a healthy sense of boundaries and as such it is not my responsibility to look out for what other people think is taylor swift’s mental health. so im feeling fine ❤️

Most of the drivers are more concerned about padding their own pockets. Lando is probably the worst on the grid though. He has a lot of influence and acts like he keeps it real and doesn’t care bc he tells it like it is and isn’t afraid. He’s a total faker. He never speaks up and only repeats what his PR team tell him to say. Nothing seems genuine or real about him. Not only that but Lando travels the world and has fans from all over and doesn’t even care to look at a map and be made aware of what part of the world he’s in. He charges obscene amounts for his shitty merchandise when he knows his fans aren’t making that kind of money. He also accepts money when he does stream on twitch. He has no shame. At the Miami GP he goes and says people should respect a guy who has a known reputation for being an incredibly racist and misogynistic. His fan girls don’t care though bc they all think they have a shot with him and think he’s cute.

Lando no backbone Norris, yeah put that on a shirt.

I used to be a fan of his but over the years I’ve been finding him more and more annoying.

Anon, in the most gentle way, while I do agree with some things here, I feel like there are so many other things ur getting angry at him for, for no reason.

Like yes, I am INCREDIBLEY angry/ irritated abt the stuff he said abt trump, and his unawareness/ ignorance of the boycott, as well as (and this for all the drivers, EXCEPT LEWIS HAMILTON THE GOAT), his inability to post/ talk abt the genocide happening in Palestine.

However, U saying there's nothing 'genuine' abt him, and talking abt how he doesn't know 'which part of the world he's in', is just way too much. Like we've never met him, we dont know him personally, so we can't really say anything when it comes to him being 'genuine' or not. Also, come one getting mad at him for not knowing where countries are is a bit to much, like ofc everyone is free to dislike a driver just bc, but don't hate on him for smthng so lame😭.

U also talk abt how 'he made his merch too expensive for fans', anon, merch - in general - has ALWAYS been expensive, like go look at the rbr, mercedes, ferrari, ANY OF THE TEAMS' merch. Go look at TAYLOR SWIFTS merch, at OSCAR'S merch, at DANIEL'S Enchante stuff. Obv, we'd all like if the stuff was less pricey, but u can't just get mad at one person and not get mad at the others for the same thing.

'He accepts money when he streams on twitch,' I feel like u don't get how his fans VOLUNTARILY give that money, like no lando does not demand them for it, or tell them he'll hate them if they don't give him anything, he's NEVER said he wants them to donate😭. And me personally, if someone was giving me money willingly and happily, I wouldn't refuse it ( its hard out here😔✋🏽) no matter if I was rich or not.

Anyway to end this, I just wanna say that I don't like lando either😭, it's not that he sucks, or that I think he's 'overrrated' I just don't personally vibe with him. (He gives me like 17 yr old f boy energy vibes). But that doesn't mean I'll create reasons to hate him, or like be one of those weirdos who go and talk shit in his comments. I just don't follow him, and when he DOES do smthng wrong, I call him out for it, like I would do for every other driver.

And whoever likes him, can like him. Its their choice, as long as they can admit when he does smthn wrong.

(THIS IS ALL ABT OFF-TRACK, on-track I say you must bcm the biggest haters against drivers u dont like bc if not then WHERES THE PASSIONN😤😤. stop the hate as soon as the race ends tho😭🙏🏽)

Taylor swift is someone who I simultaneously feel bad for and am super annoyed by. Listening to her songs she sounds like someone who has done absolutely everything for her fame, including messing up her personal life several times (and I wonder if this current relationship is somewhat image/damage control from the album/money making with the NFL) and that makes me feel sad for her. She also sounds like she has listened and taken the advice of her team or industry people who have somewhat controlled her through her career. Now I’m annoyed by her at this stage because she is older and has more control and could just not do these things anymore and could dump this guy and could speak out about things if she wanted to. She currently is choosing to do what she is doing so still trying to play the game and make all the money:/

You make some interesting points anon.

I think the fans also add to this idea by infantilising her - especially when it comes to her break ups.

Swifties tend to remove any need for accountability by making justifications such as “Joe was too committed to being depressed and made her feel unwanted etc.”

I’ve always been sceptical of these efforts to make Taylor appear to be this helpless teenage girl. We need to remember that she’s a grown woman in her mid 30’s. Her fans insistence on Taylor being a “tragic victim” type of character is getting old.

Now, Taylor can pull the reins on her own career. She controls her own creative process. If she is getting into a PR relationship (e.g. the Travis relationship is a marketing strategy that benefits both the NFL and TS and those who cannot see this business partnership for what it is are most likely deluded by their parasocial relationships), it would be her choice too.

When I think about these ideas I always come back to the same Taylor Swift quote:

Make no mistake, the person who Swifties believe to be a helpless girl is also the same person who wrote Mastermind. Maybe it’s time we stop perpetuating the narrative that she isn’t in control of her career or love life.

Like you said, Taylor Swift knows how to play the game. And her die-hard fans play right into her hands.

I want to be ot7 but the company makes it so hard. Are we only going to get pushed Jungkook’s work until they leaves? We’ve been in his era for so long and even on the precipice of leaving it’s just about him. It just makes me sad for the other members. Even my non online army friends joked bts is just jungkook-and-the-six now.

***

You sent me this ask after the other Anon’s confessional, so even though I’d normally not answer this sort of ask anymore, (I think I’ve said everything I can possibly say about this), because of the context in which you sent it I’ll try to explain what I think as briefly as possible.

As much as you say you want to be OT7, I think you really should just accept what you are. Because, if in the middle of all this - Jin’s birthday, BTS Monuments release, Jimin’s documentary behind released, Indigo anni, as well as chatter that Minimoni will be releasing music in the near-term, and finally, news that Jungkook chose to enlist with Jimin - if in the middle of all this, all you can see is remixes for Jungkook, you’re taking offence on Jimin’s behalf and choosing to not support the group as a result, then there’s nothing to be done here. This conversation is dead in the water. I honestly think you should accept that you’re a solo stan and self-sort.

Also, you know you don’t have to be an ARMY, right? Like, there’s other things you can be while still keeping up with BTS without being an ARMY. An ARMY is someone who is a fan of BTS, meaning, they actually like and support BTS. This has nothing to do with Korea, with the company, with solos, with feminism, Zionism, minority rights, or anything at all. It’s very simple. If you find you do not in fact like and support BTS for whatever reason, then you’re not an ARMY. Keep in mind you can disagree with BTS while still liking and supporting them aka being a fan. Obviously. But I think the very simple definition of what a fan is gets lost in these conversations. So Anon, if you learn you don’t actually like BTS - the seven of them come as a package deal - then it’s very okay to be honest about that and leave the fandom.

All that said, I understand if people find the number of remixes Jungkook has gotten annoying. Lol. Pretty sure he’s gotten over 50 remixes already, which sounds like an obscene amount even when you know artists like Taylor Swift have roughly a hundred remixes released and Selena Gomez is chilling with 78 remixes on Spotify. But it also kinda baffles me why people are surprised (or at least not expecting) that the first main project under HYBE America is being treated like an American release. I understand that for a lot of solos, the issue is that they want other members’ projects to get more remixes too, and more of the same tools as HA’s… It’s fine to want it, just don’t be surprised if BTS doesn’t meet that expectation. It’s a bit bonkers if you start hating them for it too.

Personally, I think the simplest, most basic cause of this identity crisis epidemic causing the fandom to implode, is that many people started calling themselves fans of BTS before they understood the kind of group BTS is. If you’re fretting because your non-online armys or a k-pop stan told you BTS is now ‘Jungkook-and-the-six’, because he’s gotten a fuck ton of remixes and an English album and the fandom supports him regardless, then I don’t think you understand what kind of group BTS is. Not to be rude.

Also, your non-online ARMY friends are saying something that k-pop stans have been saying for a while. I’ve seen k-pop stans call BTS ‘xyz and the rest’ since like 2016, where xyz is all three maknae line members rotated depending on the era. I was okay with it then because it didn’t reflect reality, and I’m okay with it now because it again doesn’t reflect what I think of the group. And even if it did I’d be okay with it because I trust all seven adult men in BTS to handle their business.

*

So, honestly and with no malice or anger in my heart, Anon I think you should do what you were going to do anyway. If the support Jungkook is getting at this time bothers you so much you can’t see anything else, or that what you see does nothing to qualify any of this for you, then I really do think you’re not an ARMY and it’s fine to accept it. There’s no point forcing being OT7 lol, that’s how we end up with the clusterfuck that’s been chapter 2.

Good luck with whatever you do though.

*Edited for length and clarity.

[allamericansbitch]

Now that I'm awake and all caught up, I would like to say that I just realised that the reason why some swifties are saying the most outlandish things about Joe isn't necessarily because of Taylor's lyrics in and of themselves, it's because the only way you can justify those lyrics is the make the person being written about/spoken to absolutely horrible. "You don't get the tell me about sad" is a horrible they to say to someone unless they're abusive, You're Losing Me is about someone who doesn't attempt to communicate in any effective, mature way unless the person they're addressing has a history of shutting down all communication, the jealously present in some songs is irrational and unhealthy unless he cheated. People are literally twisting her music into all sorts of ugly shapes to avoid confront the fact that maybe sometimes she writes about herself at her very worst, at her most petty and irrational, which is okay and can even be healthy so long as the individuals involved (the audience to som extent, but especially the creator) don't actually replace these emotional narratives with reality. (which for me is part of the reason why I've been so annoyed with Swift's approach to music recently, because it's hard to read her passivity as anything other than encouraging, or at least allowing, people to take these narratives as absolute truth, which implies that she might also think her reality is shaped entirely by her feelings, which makes her come across as wildly immature)

oh wow this is genius. it's so true because they'd grasp at any straw to avoid the obvious, simple conclusion; which is that Taylor is also responsible for relationship issues and isn't perfect like any human being. and her nonchalant, absent approach to music just fuels fans need to fill in the blanks themselves with these theories because she's leaving the blanks empty in the first place.

He’s a little delusional about her but that’s okay, right?

At the end of the day does he get the girl or does he miss out and think of what could’ve been?

ALSO IN WHICH: Sunoo and Y/n’s friends also have their own storylines and side quest relationships happening simultaneously with theirs.

A/N: There’s probably spelling errors somewhere in this post but I tried to catch & fix most of them.

“no celebrity is treated the way Taylor is.”

That is such an outrageous claim. Taylor is praised by 90% of the media. Taylor has a [rabid] fan base that send literal death threats to people who voice their negative opinions on her. Taylor being called out for genuinely bad work and bad choices is not hate it’s accountability.

Britney Spears has it worse than Taylor and continues to have it worse than most celebrities. Miley Cyrus endured some of the worst treatment from the general public and media of a current star when she was growing up. Justin Bieber has been abused by the media since he was 15. Michael Jackson was ridiculed at every turn when he was alive and people still tried to take advantage and drag his name through the dirt after he died. Marilyn Monroe was treated as more of an object than a person and still is mistreated today with misrepresentations of her life being made for entertainment purposes. Cassie literally just had footage of being assaulted by her ex Diddy released to the public. God I could keep going but I won’t. The proof is out there. She’s just too blind to see it. She claims she’s not a Swiftie but she clearly is. If she’s neutral towards Taylor she could at least acknowledge that Taylor has had it very easy in contrast to MOST celebrities.

I had her original account blocked but she made a new one and keeps posting in the anti tag and I’m just fed up. I’ve blocked her again but I needed to rant. Most people in the anti tag aren’t actively hating just expressing their frustrations and even if they were hating. ITS IN THE ANTI TAG. OMG. Sorry but she’s clearly a Swiftie who doesn’t have a god damn life and is baiting people into her ask box. She probably sends herself messages to show she’s got a larger following than she actually does. It’s pathetic. She calls antis pathetic but really we vent to a couple of blogs who agree with our thoughts and those blogs post them. She’s the one seeking out these things to complain about them. It’s so f*ckin annoying

I've honestly called other performers WAY worse things than I've called Taylor Swift. I've criticized countless artists for a variety of things. Hell, anyone who knows me knows I have just as many issues with Harry Styles as I do Taylor Swift (they're basically two versions of the same issues if you ask me).

I tag my posts the way I do for one reason, and one reason only: so that swifties can block me, block the tag(s), and fuck off. I'm not going to sit here and try to convince someone that they shouldn't support her - that has to come from your own moral compass. But in return, don't come on to my posts and tell me I'm wrong for having an opinion based on the facts we're given 24/7.

And as far as the old bullshit of "antis are pathetic" (how very 2010 tumblr lol), I say mocking someone for having an opinion you don't like is MORE pathetic. Taylor Swift is shoved down our throats literally constantly - if I'm forced to be aware of her bullshit, I'm going to have an opinion on it. If that opinion isn't favorable towards her, sucks to fucking suck. You know what I don't post about? Who Hilary Duff did or didn't go on a date with last weekend. Because I have no clue what happens in her personal life, and I'm not about to go be a stalker freak to find out. If Taylor Swift can't stand people not liking her, maybe she should put less of herself on display. And again, if swifties don't like my opinions, they can block me and my tags like adults and move on.

autism rambles

headcanons i yapped to a friend (@herconfuse im so sorry buddy)

theres a shit ton, some tdas but most are metal family. also these are copy pasted from spacehey, in parts cause i hit the character limit. four times. if some make more sense reading them as a dm, thats why. im so autistic about this show bro.

tw for various types of abuse when talking about glam and his backstory and family, also superrr limited mention of sh there too

theres probably gonna be another part to this at some point

tdas: - mal acted like a villain for the show bc fans enjoy drama and on my LIFE chris is rigging votes based on fan popularity and who he personally likes. so mal was just being overdramatic so he could stay on longer. two steps ahead frfr (ok nikocado pack it up /silly) - vito x anne maria. idc that the show tries to make her look bad, those two are so cute and systems can date different people bro - mike x zoey, obv, but also svetlana x zoey. shes poly for her partner sys ur honor. also, bi zoey. and super supportive singlet zoey. idk i love zoey sm shes so sweet - dawn is pagan, probably works with gaia or some other version of mother earth - cameron is autistic as hell bro thats not even a headcanon thats basically canon atp. that boy has so much tism in him - B is transmasc (yes this is tdroti not tdas. shush.)

metal family: - i think dee listens to white girl music sometimes - he picked it up from ches, who would blare 2000s white girl bangers to annoy his mom during fights - gustav has been to prison and had his record cleared via shady payoff to the govt - mary was married to gustav via some sort of arranged marraige (possibly a forced taxes and traditional conservative values thing cause he absolutely would [i hate gustave with a passion]) - gustav died believing that glam got fully possessed by the devil during that one scene - glam gets nightmares about his dad and/or about becoming like his dad and hurting his wife and kids. his sleep schedule is still ass to this day - nobody knows the full extent of glam's childhood, not even ches - ches probably assumed glam's scars were self inflicted due to location, and he hasnt asked to clarify bc he doesnt really know how - hes absolutely noticed tho - lif and dee consider the rat their adopted son and his theme song is rats by ghost since they both canonically like that band - heavy prefers the metallica version of enter sandman, dee likes the ghost cover better - vicky listens to viking metal and aggressive sea shanties - glam would love chappel roan - ches would love sabrina carpenter - dee would unironically like taylor swift and would tell NOBODY - dee is not only a brony (canon), but also a furry. he has a fursona and a ponysona - dee would be a reality shifter but he doesnt believe it exists - dee does NOT like cats. heavy absolutely loves them. lif likes them, but also draws gore of them (not in an edgy way but she thinks the biology is neat and has an art style where it works) - lif sits in graveyards in her spare time

metal family part 2: - heavy is a theistic satanist, dee is an atheist (canon), lif is an atheistic satanist but likes theistic satanism quite a bit, glam is an atheist, vicky is a norse pagan, ches is in tune with the universe and just calls himself "spiritual, not religious" - dee writes fanfic - i love headcanons where dee is just an absolute fucking nerd cause its SO ACCURATE bro that boy is a GEEK - dee knows the basics of chemical warfare from his chemistry phase - he could and absolutely would nuke someone if he had good reason

metal family part 3: - dee is a controlled pyromaniac - dee steals from big businesses and never from small/independent ones, he taught heavy who only steals food (candy, drinks, etc) bc anything else makes him feel guilty - dee has a spacehey account - hes also very active on the dark web, and holds a paywall on hacker services for people - he has sent things to people who wanted him to hack for shitty reasons. by things, i mean animals. not alive ones. also, small pipe bombs that arent quite deadly but will still hurt pretty damn badly - dee will jailbreak people's school devices, for a fee - hes such a con artist except hes not cause he actually pulls through - his stalker thing with lif was purely genetic, idk how but it was (see: glam stalked vicky too) - both relationships are super healthy tho dwdw - heavy cant work the internet without dees help, but is very active online where hes allowed to be - dee is a dipper personality type, heavy is a mabel personality type, and lif channels bill cipher without the,, yknow,, pure insanity - that one pink haired girl whos name i cant remember is super nice but super sheltered from alt subcultures and queer people, think caitlyn from my creative writing class (ik you dont know her)

metal family part 4: - lif had a dsmp phase and was an e girl in 2020 - she also has a scene phase shortly after - goth isnt her only style but its def her main and shes super good at the makeup and also the dancing - heavy would pierce someone for enough money - dee would give people tattoos at school for money, but he refuses to do stick and poke so he cant (doesnt have a machine) - lif draws art commissions online - dee and lif are both huge creepypasta enjoyers and have loads of ocs - heavy knows the basic ones (jeff the killer, toby, ben drowned, etc) - heavy and dee would write and produce films with shitty production quality thatre somehow really good and post them on youtube - dee takes college level classes and is aiming for his two-year by graduation (omg look its ollie projecting onto his fav characters again) - glam is pan, dee is demiromantic ace, heavy is straight as a fucking board, vicky is straight but was bicurious at one point cause lesbians absolutely love her (anna has a one sided crush one her rip), ches is gay but doesnt date much anyways, lif is bi with a preference for girls (although technically she has a preference for dee) - lif had a pink and girl phase in elementary, complete with the justice and claires stuff - lif is a demigirl (our lif is transfem i think iirc)

[oh-hush-its-perfect]

INVALID reasons to dislike Taylor Swift as a person:

You don't like her music

You think her fans are obnoxious/annoying

You believe she is not being genuine about liking/appreciating her fanbase or the awards she has received

You didn't fact-check that "study" that claimed she emitted 8,000 tons of carbon via her private jet (I read the article by Yard— not only do they not source their methodology, but other climate experts have come up with completely different estimates, averaging around 1,000 tons)

You believe Taylor Swift (the person) is guilty of queerbaiting

You don't think non-Black people have any place at all in hip-hop

She has friends who are mostly also rich white people

She has had a lot of boyfriends in the past and seems to have moved on from her partner of six years very quickly

She sometimes plays the victim

You think heartbreak is all she writes about

VALID reasons to dislike Taylor Swift as a person:

You believe Taylor Swift (the brand) is guilty of queerbaiting and that Taylor Swift (the person) is content with this business strategy

1,000 tons of carbon is still A LOT to emit and Swift should be more responsible with her footprint, ESPECIALLY now that she's touring

The music video for "Shake it Off" features what many people consider racially insensitive material, disputably using traditionally Black and Latine styles of dance as the butt of the joke and Black and Latine women as props

Swift was politically quiet for years, allowing white supremacists and nationalists to claim her as one of their own and declare her their "Aryan goddess" (though this could be blamed on her marketing team, considering they did not allow her to be politically active until 2018— and she did denounce racists in interviews prior to making her Democratic opinions public)

She is currently dating white singer/songwriter Matt Healy, who has been accused of a) saying the n-word, b) doing a Nazi salute on stage "ironically—" and there is video evidence of this, though it's difficult to tell if it's actually a Nazi salute or just a regular gesture to which he didn't give much thought, c) making fun of fat people, and d) making fun of black women. And probably more of which I'm not aware.

The music video for "You Need to Calm Down" portrays a very naive view of bigotry as angry people holding signs (and a somewhat classist view of bigotry as well, considering the appearance of the "homophobes") and uses queer people as props

She's a rich white liberal and is guilty of many of the sins typical of most rich white liberals

She has played the victim as a white woman and vilified black men (specifically Kanye West) in the process

You believe her releasing new songs like "Mr. Perfectly Fine" and the 10 minute version of "All Too Well" has encouraged harassment of men she dated over a decade ago and there was no need to rehash this hurt.

You believe that the academies (i.e. the Grammys, the VMAs, etc.) are biased towards her as a white woman and she has not done enough to combat or even acknowledge this racism

She has engaged in LGBTQ+ erasure by having one of her brand's official accounts call straight couples "lavender," even though that is a queer phrase, following the announcement of her song "Lavender Haze" and by using the queer dog whistle "hairpin drop" in a song even though she is assumed to be straight, reducing the saying's meaning.

You just don't like her vibes (NOTE: this is a valid reason to dislike her in your personal life, but NOT to diss her)

More can be added to both lists. Please note that many people acknowledge all of the flaws above listed and like her anyway because, as it is important to understand, she is human and will often make mistakes. Doing any one of these things do not make her a "bad person," and dividing people into "good" and "bad" categories— especially people who you don't know— is very binary and unnuanced; however, they do make her a flawed person, and people, Swifties and non-Swifties, have a right to make of that what they will.

"There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely placeShifting eyes and vacancy"

You were yet again at another ball that your parents forced you to attend. You are the heir of the Busan kingdom, and currently, your parents are looking for a prince for you to marry. You were excited. You were going to find the love of your life and live happily ever after, however, you didn’t think that every prince you met was a complete asshole.

Prince Seokjin was nonstop complimenting himself and even commented that I should watch my figure. Prince Jungkook asked if he was allowed to have many other princesses to sleep with. Lastly, Prince Yongbok was judging you on how you talk with other men, then he would have you follow him everywhere which just annoyed you to the bone. Every man you tried dating was nowhere near the guy you dreamed of. The constant change meant attending more balls to find the suitor. It was fun in the beginning, but now it was becoming more tedious and forced. It was the same thing over and over. Smile, curtsey, introduce yourself and your status, and try to listen to the prince bragging themselves. Everything was just the same thing as usual until someone captivating caught your attention. 

"Your eyes whispered, “Have we met?”

Across the room, your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me"

A tall man in a royal blue pristine suit approached you. He was smiling so beautifully with his tan milky skin and adorable dimples that were protruding out, his hair was chocolatey brown and swept to the side, no strand misplaced, “Hello, my name is Kim Namjoon. Prince of Ilsan.” He bowed down with his left arm behind his back while his right arm was around his waist. 

“Pleasant to meet you, Prince Kim. My name is Park Y/N. Princess of Busan.” You curtsied. You were so distracted by his sparkling eyes that was gazing at you and only you.

“If you don’t mind, may I have this dance?” He extended his hand towards you and you gladly accepted it. Your hands were so small compared to his and noticed how smooth and warm his hands were. You both walked toward the middle of the dance floor. There were a couple of people there, but it felt like it was just you and him at that moment.

“So why is Princess Park doing here by herself?” He gently puts his right arm around your waist and holds your left hand while you put your right hand on his shoulder. You had a more clear view of his gorgeous face where you noticed a mole below his lips that you found adorable.

“Well if you must know Prince Kim, I’m looking for a potential suitor and I’m not alone. My parents are talking with fellow friends. What about you?” 

“I’m here just for the fun of it. Parents are trying to save their reputation, so going to parties and showing face is the only way.” He seemed like he was forced to me here too.

“That is really a bummer.” You pouted.

“Not really. If I wasn’t forced to be here, I wouldn’t be able to lay my eyes on the most gorgeous lady in the room. Especially a lady who has delicate features that can resemble a bunny, sparkling eyes that can hold the world in them, and glossy pink lips that are hard to resist to kiss.” He looked directly into your eyes and made you gasp. You felt your stomach flutter and your heartbeat fast. This was the only time a prince actually complimented you so intimately. It left you feeling giggly. You shyly smiled and looked down at your dress. 

“Well aren’t you being bold Prince Kim-”

“Call me Namjoon.” You looked up and saw him smiling with dimples and his eyes glittering in the lights. 

“Namjoon… Then call me Y/N.”

“Y/N. A beautiful name for something you want to love.” At this point, you haven’t paid attention to anything surrounding you because you are so captivated by the handsome man in your arms.

"The playful conversation startsCounter all your quick remarksLike passing notes in secrecyAnd it was enchanting to meet you"

Through the whole night, you and Namjoon talked through the whole ball. You both found interest in reading novels, loved being in nature, and wrote poems in your free time. He is quite poetic and always any way to compliment you using quotes from his poems. The night was so wonderful that you didn’t want it to end. You both ended up outside in the garden, admiring the stars that shone on both of you. It was such a magical night that nothing could ruin it.

“Y/N, where are you?” You can hear your mother calling you from inside. You looked back at Namjoon and grabbed his hand. 

“Come inside, I can introduce my parents to you. They would love you, I know it.” You tried dragging him inside but he was pulling away. “Y/N, I don’t think they would like to see me.” He was standing away from you while looking away. 

“Of course they would. They are the ones that have been wanting to find my suitor and now I have you and they would be delighted.” You tried persuading but it seems like he doesn’t believe it.

“It’s not that, its the fact-”

“Y/N! There you are. Your father and I have been looking for you.” You saw your parents walking towards you and you excitedly dragged Namjoon towards them.

“Father, Mother. I finally found a suitor that I wanted to marry. This is Prince Kim Namjoon of the Ilsan Kingdom.” 

“It is a pleasure to meet you your majesties.” Namjoon bowed in front of your parents and you saw the shift of expression from your parents that didn’t sit right with you

“Prince of Ilsan, you say?” Your father questioned with narrowed eyes.

“Y-yes sir.” You can tell that this is not going to be good.

“The Ilsan Kingdom that is slowly going down and losing their citizens?” Your father advanced close to Namjoon and you started feeling scared.

“Yes sir, but we are slowly gaining back our population and with me in charge, we are changing for good.” Namjoon was sweating really bad and he knew where this conversation is going. He has been in this situation many times and sometimes it does bring some humiliation to him, but he tries to be confident. 

“Yeah, I don’t believe that. That is the same thing your father said to me when he was becoming king.” your mother spoke up. This made Namjoon tensed up because he knew that was true. The Ilsan kingdom has been in shambles for decades and it seems like nothing was working. That is the reason why he is here. To gain some connection, but he got distracted by the beauty beside him. 

“I understand ma’am, but I can guarantee that this time everything will change.” Both of your parents didn’t say anything which worried you even more.

“Mother, Father, I was wondering if it would be okay that Namjoon becomes my suitor. I really like him and believe he can become an excellent king in the future. He is bold, strong, and intelligent. He has every good quality to become a king and a husband.” You tried bragging hoping that if you smoothed them over, they would be less tense with him.

“Daughter, you want him to be your husband. You must be joking.” Your mother insulted you, which you didn’t take kindly.

“Yes, I do.” You stood your ground and didn’t stand down from your mother’s stare.

“We don’t approve.” Your father declared. You never thought your heart could break from hearing those words.

“But I want to-”

“It is not about what you want, daughter. It is about what is good for the kingdom. You marrying him would not only tarnish our image but also our kingdom. It would be in shambles just like theirs.” Your father argued, “You are not to marry this failure of a prince. Do you understand me?” You were speechless but didn’t want to comply. “DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND?” He yelled. You sadly nodded.

“Good. Say your goodbyes, and meet us at the front.” That was the last thing your mother said before she and your father left to go back inside. 

You and Namjoon stood in silence. Neither wanted to leave the other. Wanted to grasp onto any little time you guys had left.

“Y/N, can you promise something?” He blurted while grabbing both of your hands into his. 

“Of course anything.” You stared deeply into his eyes. You actually think that this man could be the love of your life. You enjoyed your time with him more than anything in the world.

“I know that I may not be the best suitor because your parents don't approve, but please wait for me. I would come back for you and ask for your hand in marriage once I handle my kingdom.” You can tell that his eyes were glossing over, this was hurting him as much as it was hurting for you. You don’t want to let him go. He was the only man that has shown any genuine interest and felt a deep connection.

“I’m pretty sure if I can persuade them, they would love you as much as I do. It’s okay Namjoon, we can figure it out. Please stay with me.” You were close to tears at this point. You don't want to let go to the only man that you can love.

"It's okay, everything will be okay. This was the very first page. Not where the storyline ends of me and you." He pressed his forehead against yours and it felt like it was just you and him. 

"My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again." Tears started to cascade down your cheeks.

"Please don't be in love with someone else, while I'm gone. It was enchanting to meet you." 

That was the last thing he said to you before you never saw him again.

[noahschnappinfs]

Today I opened tik tok and a video appeared with photos of Noah with the cast. I was very annoyed when I opened the comments and some said "help Finn"; "Finn blink twice if you need help"; "Natália blink twice if you need help". "Finn, Natália and Joe are more handsome than ever" or "Finn, Natália and Joe are so handsome". In X they were putting stickers on Noah's face and when they talked about him they censored his name as if he were Voldemort. It's such childish behavior. And the worst thing is that they talk as if he's killed someone. As if he's the reason Israel and Palestine are at war. They posted that photo of Noah with Finn and Joe at tennis and there was a comment saying that Finn was making that face because Noah smelled bad💀.

they create so many theories about Noah that I think they're more obsessed and more fans than we are. That's all the Byler shippers. They still keep saying that the cast hates Noah and that they're only hanging out with him because the Duffers threatened to cut their pay💀. It doesn't make any sense to hate Noah but love Finn and Millie. They have to accept that the cast loves Noah and that their favs are still friends and hang out with Noah and they have to stop with their ridiculous narration. They think they're superior to Noah because they're not evil Zionist. But in reality they are only as powerful as the narrative they create about Noah. Sorry if my English isn’t good it’s because it’s not my first language.

my response will sound kind of random but i was listening to “but daddy i love him” by taylor swift and it hit me how that song is a direct portrayal of the parasocial relationships that exist between celebs and their fans. i think we all saw the reaction online to her relationship and how her fans were trying to “protect” her from her new bf. it turns out that outrage only pissed her off and she literally calls them every name in the book in that song for their fake outrage. she calls them “vipers dressed in empath's clothing” and “judgemental creeps” which tbh are great lines that describe so well how fans are when they are babying their favs and i wonder how many other celebs feel that way about how their fans try to police their personal relationships. you might wonder why i’m mentioning all this but what i’m trying to say here is that the celebrities that we are fans of are mostly grown adults that make their own decisions about the people they hang out with. obviously you can dislike the people they surround themselves with but being childish about that by bullying their friends is ridiculous and won’t change anything. the cast have chosen to hang out with noah because they are friends and they would actually dislike most of the fandom if they saw how they treat a friend like noah who they’ve known since he was a child. how the fandom bully noah while trying to claim moral superiority is the definition of a viper in empath’s clothing.

it’s also hilarious how i’ve seen multiple people that now are going as far as being delusional by creating conspiracy theories about how netflix/the duffers/their PR team are forcing people to hang out with noah because they can’t accept that they are friends. they spent months patting themselves on the back because according to them their favs where so above noah that they were ignoring him and now that’s proven wrong, they try to invent another narrative to save face.

But by 2020, Swift was far less reluctant. Her lyrics were more overtly left-leaning: pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, anti-racism and anti-sexism. She endorsed Joe Biden and Harris’ election bid in a Vogue interview. She also accused Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency” in a tweet that was described as “The Tweet That Could Help Take Down A President”. Trump was out six months later.

Her endorsement of Biden annoyed Trump no end. “Why would she endorse this dope?” Trump reportedly said just this year. He recently complained online that Swift had chosen “the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country” (creative decisions about capitals all his).

There is a beautiful symmetry to Swift and Trump’s relationship: her naked dislike of him, and his desperation for her approval. In August, Trump shared a fake news article that falsely claimed her fans were “turning to Trump” after the foiled terror plot targeting her concerts in Vienna. While Swift’s politics undeniably overlap with Harris – on Tuesday, she praised Harris’ record “fight[ing] for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them” – it was Trump who chipped away at her inscrutable veneer.

The funniest thing in all of this is that Trump clearly likes Swift. She is everything he admires: rich, beautiful, famous and very good at doing business. She has her roots in country music, historically the preserve of conservatives. (Most of Trump’s celebrity endorsements have been male country singers: Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood.) When asked by journalist Ramin Setoodeh if he liked her music, Trump said: “Don’t know it well, but she is liberal, or is that just an act?” When told it wasn’t an act, Trump said: “It surprises me, you know. It surprises me. It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.”

Setoodeh later described Trump as being “absolutely fixated” on her, saying that Trump thinks Swift “secretly likes him because I think it’s too hard for Donald Trump to accept the fact that someone who is so famous and has such a huge platform would not support his candidacy … even Donald Trump knows the value of an endorsement from Taylor Swift.”

And now, her endorsement has gone to his opponent.

txt ~ our song

pairing: txt x reader (separate) scenario: tubatu as lines in taylor swift songs 💗 warnings: beoms and taehyun are a little sad, mentions of insecurity + breakups click here for my masterlist!

yeonjun ~ paper rings

"I want your dreary mondays, wrap your arms around me baby boy."

yeonjun lived a hard but glamorous life, and most of the time he was dressed up in designer outfits and makeup without a flaw ~ just as you'd expect from our 4th gen it boy.

in the early stages of your relationship, he figured you might find the real him boring - when he wasn't acting like a superstar and covered in glitter.

clearly this wasn't the case and you loved him just as much on a boring monday morning, getting ready for work - bed head and morning breath and all. and it was this that he appreciated, knowing you truly loved him for him and not just all the glitz and glamour.

he knew you'd be there whether he was fresh off an arena stage or crying into your shoulder over his insecurities on a tuesday night.

you'd always be there encourage him or to lift him back up no matter what. <3

soobin ~ paris

"romance is not dead, if you keep it just yours."

both you and soobin knew where you started dating that your relationship would be anything but typical, you'd almost never go on dates in public places and never ever posted the other on social media.

most couple-y activities were out of the question for you and your idol boyfriend, but it wasn't exactly a hindrance.

with no one but your families and close friends knowing the two of you were dating, you could enjoy spending time together without the annoying input of people - haters - who didn't mean anything to either of you. at first, you thought keeping the love of your life completely on the down low would be hard, but two years in - you realise it was possibly the best outcome.

your apartment became a sanctuary, a place he'd stay when he wasn't loaded with schedules. most of your dates happened in your living room, or the kitchen, or even just cuddling in your bedroom.

you feel lucky that it's you who he comes home to at the end of the day; leaving the judgemental, busy world outside behind him - and when you see his shoulders visibly relax the second he locks the door, you think you should keep each other all to yourselves as long as you can.

beomgyu ~ nothing new

"lord what will become of me, once i've lost my novelty?"

beomgyu was always insecure. you'd lost count of the days he'd cried on your shoulder over how long all this could last.

how long could he really keep the love of his fans? keep your love? did he deserve it? was his hard work - pure blood sweat and tears - really enough? was he doing enough for his members? his company? for you?

the only thing that could calm him was your reassurance, gentle strokes of your fingers through his hair while he let out all his worries and frustrations. he appreciated you being there for him and listening to him without bombarding him with snarky comments like others have to him in the past. you weren't going to tell him to just stop worrying, nor would you try to tell him "you're so lucky" when you knew his job was just as stressful and demanding as it was rewarding.

instead, you often settled for a simple "i love you. you're enough for me. i'll never get bored of you." and honestly, that's all that truly mattered to beomgyu.

taehyun ~ i bet you think about me

"i bet you couldn't believe, when you realised i'm harder to forget than i was to leave."

you and taehyun ended your relationship after a silly fight, emotions were high and work was getting to him. so sick of being treated like you weren't as good as him, you cut it off and left.

taehyun couldn't think for the two weeks that you were apart. his stubborn personality tried to convince himself that he was fine, he didn't need you clinging to him to have a fulfilling life - but boy was he wrong.

he realised how much he cherished your presence, and everything around him seemed to remind him of you. two weeks of no contact drove him crazy, and knowing you'd have probably blocked his number, he drove to your house with the biggest bunch of your favourite flowers to apologise.

"i'm so sorry. i didn't realise what i had until i lost it."

hueningkai ~ mastermind

"what if i told you none of this was accidental?"

the first time kai saw you, you were alone at the game store he frequented - usually with soobin. he thought you were adorable, so he'd look over and pick up on the kinds of games and merchandise you'd look at.

he never thought he'd see you again after the first day, but somehow he felt compelled to look up all your favourite games you'd been browsing - if he did see you again, he'd need a conversation starter after all.

the next time he went, it was the same time and same day - all in hopes you'd be like him and go every week. turns out his hunch was right, when he spotted you looking over the new pokemon plushie display.

"hey, did you see the new pokemon game coming out next week?" he asked, flashing a toothy grin.

"yeah! you like pokemon too? oh i'm Y/N by the way!"

perfect.

boyfriends but awesome (and instead of a webtoon its an independent webcomic)

design notes and 3ds flipnote concept art below the cut

general notes abt their designs and what the comic would be like in my head:

>they dont have names in this version cause i think that was one of the good things they did originally. i imagine they refer to eachother as "that one" "the other guy" etc like the dhmis guys when talking about eachother.

>they are not in a defined romantic relationship with eachother because i think thats more interesting, the polyamory aspect would be kept (im not polyamorous btw so im not gonna try to write an established polycule) but its more vague in that they all kind of have a thing for eachother but also hate eachother and want to rip eachothers guts out. and theyre all roommates and bffs. if you asked them what they were the answer you would get would be "friends who are boys". they are the height of male friendship, hate, love, etc.

>instead of focusing on sexualizing them in strange ways and doing boring moe shit it would lean into the comedy aspect BUT NO MEMES OR LATE 2010S SLANG !! this was something i could not fucking stand when reading the original (if you couldnt tell by now i did used to read boyfriends. it was a regrettable time and in redesigning and overhauling them i hope to make something good out of this wasted period of my life) like even when it was current boyfriends always made memes feel.. out of place. like as soon as they said it it wasnt cool anymore. it was the unfunniest shit ever

>i wanted the characters to look less WHITE and also more distinct from eachother and also less young cause in the original its like the same twink 3 times in different haircolors and their Chad. said chad is the best character only by way of not being annoying. so yeah i'll be more specific later but none of them are white and i gave them all different eye and nose shapes and distinct physical traits and bodies etc.

>mostly i just did this cause the "nerd" and "goth" ones piss me off so bad like thats not real. thats not a nerd thats just a nondescript waify femboy with glasses. thats not a goth, thats a tiktok eboy. and i felt bad for jock being trapped in this comic. and the prep one i feel nothing towards hes the most accurate to gay preps irl because they really are that annoying. but i tried to make him a little interesting atleast. anyways

nerd - black, brony, always aggressively corrects the others when they state an incorrect fact, really into playstation eyetoy and obscure playstation games. insanely autistic. usually pissed off if hes not indulging himself in something he likes (yaoi, games, ponies, figures, etc). i just wanted to overhaul him completely to make him almost nothing like refrainbow's nerd because nerd type characters are always the ones i tend to see myself in and are my favorites but reading the webtoon that guy just pissed me off fr.

jock - 2nd gen chinese american, one of the things i liked in the original actually was when they sexualized the jock (probably cause hes the only one who doesnt look 14 in that comic) and his big tits. hes a very genuinely kind guy, not the brightest, has a voracious appetite, he also still bakes cause thats cute i think.

prep - he looks different here because i was originally going to make him white but i decided to make him a light/medium skintone black guy (he just wears a blonde wig and contacts). when companies make their pride month merchandise and advertisements this is the exact person they imagine in their head who is going to buy these products. hes a million percent one of those swifties who thinks taylor swift is secretly a lesbian. trust fund kid btw obviously. his only redeeming quality is that hes good at makeup. jokes in the comic are usually made at his expense.

goth - 1st gen latino american, specifically peruvian because i am a self serving motherfucker. hes a really big numetal fan and listens to like 2000s evil wolf amv music in addition to legitimate gothic. his face changed a little too between this and the final design. his outfit completely changed but its only because i realized everyone else was dressed for relatively warm weather so it wouldnt make sense for him to be wearing multiple layers of black. if i do cold weather outfits for them id def reuse this look for him. hes still trans but i think all of them are in my version. also they dont use labels for their sexual/rom orientation. except prep hes homosexual gay.

congratulations for reaching the end of this incomprehensible bullshit 👍 hope someone enjoys this but idrc if its just for me either

[td-brick]

hmm for total drama fandom, i'd ask for 3, 9, 16 and 22! (or maybe 24 if you really wanna pick violence)

3 - Most td takes on here piss me off ngl so I don't have one specific screenshot but pretty much any time someone treats something that terry (or god forbid one of the vas) said as if it's canon even though it's not even implied in the script I get so frustrated 😢😢 I don't believe in word of god and it annoys me so much that so many td fans seem to. No harold does not canonically like taylor swift even though her va HEADCANONS that she does.

9 - The bigotry lol I feel like this is an obvious one but every time I see how badly the women and characters of color are written it's just sad man. It's actually awful. And not nearly as bad but the fart jokes are just annoying as hell but that's again obviously not as bad in the first place and it's at least excusable with td being a kids show and kids think that's funny 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

16 - I could say a million things for this but I'll go with like. The general characterization of fanon cody. To me it's so far removed to how I see him/how he is in canon (aka a creepy "nice guy") that I don't understand it and why they even like him if it's just an entirely different character (in my eyes). To me fanon cody reminds me more of canon sam lol

22 - Most friendships (especially f/f ones)... obviously I'm not against shipping at all but idk I feel like some dynamics are underexplored when they're not romantic. It's like sometimes people forget that close friends are a thing that exists lol... idk I just wish I saw more interesting discussions about friendship I guess

24 - GODDD I FUCKING HATE SIERRA/CODERRA DISCOURSE SO MUCH ITS SO MIND NUMBING AND NONE OF YALL KNOW WHAT NUANCE IS I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT AND ITS STILL GOING ON AFTER MONTHS. I DONT CARE ANYMORE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO CARE ABOUT!!! FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFF
