LOVE is a Ruthless GAME

🎲 ♥️ 🎲 ♠️ 🎲

Better Than Revenge:

Soon she's gonna find / Stealing other people's TOYS on the playground / Won’t make you many friends

State of Grace:

This is a state of grace / This is the worthwhile fight / LOVE IS A RUTHLESS GAME/ Unless you play it good and right

The Lucky One:

New to town with a MADE UP NAME / In the Angel city, chasing fortune and fame / And the camera flashes MAKE IT LOOK like a dream / You had it figured out since you’re in school Everybody loves PRETTY, Everybody loves COOL / So overnight you look like a sixties' queen

Now it's big black cars and Riviera views / And your LOVER in the foyer doesn’t even know you / And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page / And they tell you that you're LUCKY, but you're so confused / 'Cause you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used / And all the young things line up to take your place / Another name goes up in lights / You wonder if you'll MAKE IT OUT ALIVE

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere / Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square / And it took some time, but I understand it now

Blank Space:

NICE TO MEET YOU, where you been? / I could show you incredible things / magic, madness, heaven, sin / Saw you there and I thought / Oh my God, look at that face / You look like my next mistake / LOVE’S A GAME, WANNA PLAY? / New money, suit and tie / I can read you like a magazine / Ain't it funny, RUMORS FLY / And I know you heard about me

SO HEY, LET’S BE FRIENDS / I'm dying to see how this one ends / Grab your passport and my hand / I can make the bad guys good for a weekend / So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames / You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain / Got a long list of ex-lovers / They'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the PLAYERS / And you love the GAME

You're the KING, baby I'm your QUEEN / Find out what you want / Be that girl for a month / Wait the worst is yet to come / Screaming, crying, perfect storm / I can make all the tables turn / Rose gardens filled with thorns / Keep you second guessing like, "Oh my God, who is she?" / I get drunk on jealousy / But you'll come back each time you leave / 'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

Shake It Off:

I go on too many dates / But I can't make them stay / at least that’s WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I never miss a beat / I'm lightning on my feet / and that’s WHAT THEY DON’T SEE

I'm dancing on my own / I make the moves up as I go / And that's WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW

New Romantics:

We show off our different scarlet letters / Trust me, mine is better / We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin / WE PLAY DUMB, but know exactly what we're doing / We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom / Honey, life is just a classroom

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me / And every day is like a battle, but every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the NEW ROMANTICS / The best people in life are FREE

We're all here, the lights and boys are blinding / We hang back, it’s all in the timing / It's POKER / He can't see it in my face, but I'm about to PLAY my ACE

We need love, but all we want is danger / We team up, then SWITCH SIDES like a record changer / The rumors are terrible and cruel, but honey MOST OF THEM ARE TRUE

Ready For It:

But if he’s a ghost, then I can I can be a phantom / Holdin' him for RANSOM

I see nothing better, I KEEP HIM forever / Like a VENDETTA

I-I-I see how THIS is gonna go / Touch me, and you'll NEVER be alone

In the middle of the night, in my dreams / I know I'm gonna be with you / So I take my time / ARE YOU READY FOR IT?

Knew I was a robber / First time that he saw me / stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry / But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist / And we’ll move to an Island / And he can be my jailer / Burton to this Taylor / Every love I've known in comparison is a failure / I forget their names now / I'm so very tame now / Never be the same now

Baby, let the games begin / Let the GAMES begin / LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

End Game:

I wanna be your END GAME / I wanna be your FIRST STRING / I wanna be your A-TEAM / I wanna be your end game / END GAME

Big reputation, BIG REPUTATION / Ooh, you and me, WE GOT BIG REPUTATIONS / Ah, and YOU heard about ME / Ooh, I got some BIG ENEMIES

I don't wanna hurt you, I just wanna be / Drinking on a beach with you all over me / I know what they all say, but I'M NOT TRYING TO PLAY

And I BURY hatchets, but I KEEP maps of where I put them / REPUTATION precedes me, they told you I'M CRAZY/ I swear I don't love the DRAMA, it loves me

You've been CALLING MY BLUFF on all my usual tricks / So here's the TRUTH from my red lips

I Did Something Bad:

I never trust a narcissist, but they love me / So I PLAY them like a violin and I MAKE IT LOOK oh so easy / 'Cause for every lie I tell them, they tell me three / This is how the world works / Now all he thinks about is me

I can feel the flames on my skin / Crimson red paint on my lips / If a man TALKS SHIT, then I owe him nothing / I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming

I never trust a playboy, but they love me / So I fly him all around the world and I let them think they saved me / They never see it coming, what I do next / This is how the world works / You gotta leave before you get left

I can feel the flames on my skin / He says, "Don't throw away a good thing" / But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothing / And if he spends my change, then he had it coming

Don’t Blame Me:

I've been breakin' hearts a long time / And TOYING with them older guys / Just PLAY THINGS for me to use

Look What You Made Me Do:

I don't like your little GAMES / Don't like your tilted stage / The ROLE you made me PLAY / Of the fool, no I don't like you

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time / Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time / I've got a list of names and YOURS IS IN RED, underlined / I check it once, then I CHECK IT twice

Ooh, look what you made me do / Look what you made me do / Look what you just made me do / LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO

I don't like YOUR kingdom keys / They once belonged to ME / You ask me for a place to sleep / Locked me out and threw a feast / The world moves on, another day, another DRAMA / But not for me, not for me, all I think about is KARMA / And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure / Maybe I got mine, but YOU’LL ALL GET YOURS

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me / I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams / I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me / I'll be the ACTRESS starring in your bad dreams

"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" / "Why?" / "Oh, 'cause she's dead!"

Getaway Car:

It was the best of times, the worst of crimes / I struck a match and blew your mind, but I didn't mean it / And you didn’t see it / The ties were black, the lies were white

“X" marks the spot, where we fell apart / He poisoned the well, I WAS LYING TO MYSELF

We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde / Until I switched to the other side / It's no surprise I turned you in / 'Cause us TRAITORS NEVER WIN / I’m in a getaway car / I left you in a motel bar / Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys / That was the last time you ever saw me

Cruel Summer:

Bad, bad boy / SHINY TOY with a PRICE / You know that I BOUGHT IT

Devils ROLL THE DICE / Angels roll their eyes / What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

It's cool, that's what I tell them/ NO RULES in breakable heaven

The Man:

I would be complex / I would be cool / They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to / And that would be okay for me to do / Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you / I'd be a FEARLESS leader / I'd be an alpha type / When everyone believes ya / What's that like? I'm so sick of running as fast as I can / Wondering if I'd get THERE quicker if I was a man / And I'm so sick of them coming at me again / 'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

They'd say I hustled / Put in the work / They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve / What I was wearing, if I was rude / Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves / And we would toast to me, let the PLAYERS PLAY / I'd be just like Leo, in Saint-Tropez

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars / And getting bitches and MODELS? / And it's all good if you're bad / And it's okay if you're mad / If I was out flashin' my dollas, I'd be a bitch, not a baller / They'd paint me out to be bad, so it's okay that I'm mad

The Archer:

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 / Easy they come, easy they go / I jump from the train, I ride off alone / I NEVER GREW UP, it's getting so old / Help me hold onto you

I've been the archer / I've been the prey / Who could ever leave me, darling? / But who could stay?

And I cut off my nose just to spite my face / Then I hate my reflection for years and years

I've been the archer / I've been the prey / SCREAMING, who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay? / 'Cause they see right through me / They see right through me / CAN YOU SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME?

THEY SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME / I SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME

Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince:

You know I adore you / I'm crazier for you / Then I was at sixteen / Lost in a film scene / Waving homecoming queens / Marching band playing / I'm lost in the lights

Running through rose thorns / I saw the scoreboard and ran for my life / No cameras catch my pageant smile / I counted days, I counted miles / To see you there / It's been a long time coming

The whole school is rolling fake dice / You PLAY stupid GAMES, you WIN stupid prizes / It's you and me / There's nothing like this / Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince

MY TEAM IS LOSING / Battered and bruising / I see the high fives / Between the bad guys / Leave with my head hung / You are the only one / Who seems to care

And I don't want you to go / I don't really want to FIGHT / 'Cause nobody's gonna WIN / I think you should come home

I just thought you should know / And I'll never let you go / 'Cause I know this is a FIGHT / That someday we're gonna WIN

Cornelia Street:

Back when we were card sharks, PLAYING GAMES / I thought you were leading me on / I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street / Before you even knew I was gone / But then you called, SHOWED YOUR HAND / I turned around before I hit the tunnel / Sat on the roof, you and I

London Boy:

We can go drivin' in, on my scooter / Uh, you know, just riding in London

I love my hometown as much as Motown / I love SoCal / And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey / But something happened, I heard him laughing / I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent / They say home is where the heart is / But that's NOT where mine lives

You know I love a London boy / I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon / He likes my American smile / Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you / Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates / So I guess all the RUMORS are true / You know I love a London boy / Boy, I fancy you

And now I love high tea, stories from uni, and the West End / You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his school friends / Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride / Babe, DON’T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME / They say home is where the heart is / But God, I love the English

Stick with me, I'M YOUR QUEEN / Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney

Daylight:

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in / Everyone looked worse in the light / There are so many lines that I've crossed, unforgiven / I'll tell you truth, but never, "Goodbye" / I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you / I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you / I've been sleepin' so long in a twenty-year dark night / And now I see daylight, I only see daylight

Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky / And so I became the butt of the joke / I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked / Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke / Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down / Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town / Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now / It's brighter now

And I can still see it all in my mind / All of you, all of me intertwined / I once believed love would be black and white / But it's golden / And I can still see it all in my head / Back and forth from New York sneaking in your bed / I once believed love would be burning red / But it's golden / Like daylight

You gotta step into the DAYLIGHT and let it go / Just let it go / LET IT GO

I wanna be defined by the things that I love / Not the things I hate / Not the things I'm afraid of / The things that haunt me in the middle of the night / I just think that YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOVE

thymbles replied to your post “personal.txt”

I have never done the pantheon things and y'all are making me preemptively terrified of markoth while also like. Mixing in utter curiousity over how bad he could be. Are you ok.

i am NOT okay take this bigass rant about this moth who i also love and adore because his dialogue was BALLER AF but also. ALSO. LITERALLY MARKOTH YOURE THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN ME AND THE FINAL BOSS RN

ok here’s the breakdown on why this guy is an ASSHOLE

on ascended some bosses dont have a floor, e.g. uumuu’s stage no longer has acid for you to swim in, so you have to do it entirely by platforms. markoth also doesnt have a floor so you have to fight him on platforms only. but that’s like a minor issue; no eyes’ stage changes, as does uumuu, and eventually you get the hang of those changes

the real issue is developing a rhythm; for that there’s three different elements of a fight like markoth’s

galien’s axe, marmu, god tamer’s pet, and various other enemies have a function where they home in on you. basically they fly at you, you move out of the way, they do a U turn and try and hit you again. the way it works is that, like marmu, it’s tied to you and will always seek to come back to you, which is actually a GOOD thing, because that way, understanding that the projectile is basically tied to you like a yo-yo, you can then manipulate how YOU move in order to swing the yo-yo around

the homing projectile is different physics from xero’s swords or enraged guardian, who fire a projectile at you that locks on to your position and stays locked onto that route even after you’ve moved out of the way. (for shorthand i’ve been calling that locked projectile vs homing projectile.) locked projectile tends to be easiest; you just wait until it’s decided where it’ll fire, and then you move

then there’s the last piece, which is where the body of the enemy is itself--most of the enemies tend to try and position themselves in relation to you, usually for a close-range, mid-range, or far-range attack (they usually have at least two), so you can marginally predict where the body will be depending on where you are, or at the very least predict what they’re going to do depending on how far away they spawn from you (e.g. pure vessel or grimm). alternatively, they don’t position themselves based on you at all, and just go along a set route (e.g. xero, who moves back and forth across the stage irregardless of where you are, or no eyes, who spawns in the same spots and all her ghost friends move on the same routes)

so bringing it back to markoth:

markoth’s swords lock onto you like xero does (locked projectile), but markoth’s body itself is entirely random. it doesn’t home in on you like a yo-yo (marmu), and it doesn’t have a set route like xero or no eyes. markoth literally just goes wherever he wants, without rhyme or reason, and has no relation to where you are whatsoever, meaning that whatever YOU do won’t help you predict where HE’LL go.

but that’s fine, right? you have eyes, you can just work around his erratic patterns, right? just tread and platform carefully, right? be patient, dodge his swords, accommodate for the fact that he moves like a drunken hamster, right?

FALSE. BECAUSE HIS SHIELD DOES THE SAME THING. his shield doesn’t go in a set pattern either; it reverses direction or sometimes stops altogether

so let me paint u a word picture

in between you super-platforming your way around his billion swords, you’re trying to hit this dude, but every time you try and close in to hit him you actually can’t guarantee he’ll maintain his course long enough for you to hit him--half the time he changes course just as you’re getting in and he’ll fly right into you, which damages YOU but not HIM. even if he doesn’t change course, if you didn’t time the shield right, you’ll smack right into his shield; even if you did time the shield right and he doesn’t change course, the SHIELD might change course and hit you anyway. all of that is contact damage, and then you’ll probably fall off the platforms into the spikes anyway, which totals for four masks of damage (two for the shield and/or hitting markoth, two for the spikes).

AND THAT’S NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE PART WHERE HE GETS TWO SHIELDS.

tl;dr: i can beat nightmare king, pure vessel, soul tyrant, and a bunch of other rough motherfuckers on ascended with a 9/10 success rate, but i literally don’t last against markoth any longer than 25 seconds.

#thymbles #big rant #if you read this thanks for reading because it sure af made me feel better #i'm going to go try and beat him again #i'm still internally losing my shit over 'you are the darkness come to consume me' in slow motion #god what a good line #talk
