i’m a big swiftie myself (like taylor swift is my life)

please and thank u <3

you just gave me big main character vibes, you don't even know ??? my anons are the coolest yo ??? like final girl and you probably would be best friends 🙈

to you baby, i give :

theater kid andrew garfield !!

"andrew, behave yourself or i'm leaving."

you were funny, extremely funny even but how was he supposed to ? you were absolutely gorgeous, divine even.

andrew garfield, known by the entire campus as the future oscar winning actor. his reputation was so well carved that students signed up here for him. he was the star, literally.

beyond the cliché with the athletes and the geniuses, he was the one who wore the crown in here. his existence was worshipped by many, teachers and students all joining together to treat him as if he was royalty. he was to them.

you'd think his head would get so big, it would explode. that would be ironic, to have the people fueling his ego by calling him fifty shades of humble and god like, be the reason of his absolute downfall.

weirdly enough it never happened though, andrew the saint stayed perfect. the talented actor who'd already made a small name for himself on the big screen stayed the same sarcastic, talkative and terrifyingly handsome. he was all around perfect.

and that's where you came in.

the perfection buster. that's what they called you, since high school.

you had made a reputation for yourself, just a little less glamorous as his and that you enjoyed just a tiny bit. okay maybe a lot. but it made you proud. so proud, you were a menace like that.

you found pleasure in exposing people by simply asking too many question and letting them reveal themselves on their own. sometimes it wasn't about being honest, just being quiet you know ? if you stayed quiet, you couldn't be played by false curiosity and that was exactly what had all these people losing their temporary fame. you'd ask them questions according to their logic and they'd crumble like sand castles.

that was what you did and had been pursuing in life, stepping on castles made out of sand by throwing more sand on it. that's what journalism was in a way. that was the career you chose and now here were.

you'd been hired to interview andrew garfield, the star student of your university.

and when you said hired, it was literal. the school and his agency had paid a lot of money to have you write on him, because the people were begging for it. some wanted to see him fall, some just wanted to prove how good he was. now your favorite category was the one that considered that you both had heavy sexual tension. from afar. you'd never been seen together but he talked about you, that he did.

whenever you were brought up, his attention was entirely on the discussion. maybe he was a fanboy too, good reputation for you. or maybe he had a crush since someone pointed out how good you'd look together. who could know ?

and now here you were. staring at each other. or at least he was staring, you were looking at your notes from the past and reviewing your questions.

"i told you to behave andrew."

"and i ignored you because i can't. you're really beautiful, you know that ? got my heart beating so damn fast, i feel like i could pass out. good reason for you to give me cpr." he grinned, playing with the drink in front of him.

looking up from your notes, you sigh, shaking your head with an exasperated expression.

"you're one shitty pro actor, you know that ? flirting with the journalist won't have me go easy on you. now focus, we're starting." you said, starting you recorder. "so, tell me andrew, what is that makes you special ?"

"are these the questions you ask to get them crumbling ? sounds like you're going easy on me love. come on, i know you've got a little more mean in you. or did you fall for me already ?" he chuckled, leaning on his elbows and biting his lip when he stared at yours. they looked absolutely delicious, ready to feast on until you were breathless and flushed all over.

taken by surprise at the snap of your finger in front of his face, he grinned when his eyes met your very displeased expression. teasing you was the most pleasurable thing he'd done all day, in all sense of the term.

"if you can't focus, i'm gone and that won't look nice on an article now, would it andrew ?" you threatened, crossing your arms over your chest and raising an eyebrow.

what you'd intended to be taken as a threat was, unfortunately or not, taken completely differently by your counterpart who now just really wanted to fuck you. maybe he enjoyed being bullied, that could be a good thing to add to your article. andrew garfield : golden boy of humbleness but twisted masochist.

"so, to get back on topic. since you want mean, why is it that you need to eye fuck every co-star you have ? sex deprived ? playboy tendencies ? tell me andrew." you asked, taking a bite out of your cheesecake. your eyes never left him and that drove him insane.

"i don't eye fuck my co-stars. and im not famous enough to be a playboy. but i can play if you want. you know I'd love to play with you." he taunted, his foot sliding the floor to go to yours.

he let his shoe run up your calf, smirking when you glared at him. your hand was quick to stop him, throwing his leg back on the floor. but you didn't move your legs the second time around, brought up to rest between his thighs. you ignored the fact that he'd taken your shoes off to massage them too. you ignored a lot of what was going on under the table, simply allowing his fingers to press on your skin and softly caress your calves.

"you're right. you don't eye fuck your co-stars. just everyone else. attracted to people until they work with you huh ?" you asked, leaning into your seat.

"you're jealous ?"

looking at him, you scoffed writing in your notepad again and smirking when he tried to snatch it away.

"oh andrew, sweetheart..." you cooed, looking at him with false tenderness. "jealousy is not something i feel, and most definitely not for a man who gets off on being verbally abused. how's that kink holdin' up for you buddy ?" you asked, titling your head to the side

wide eyes, he snarled in his hands, hating the effect you knew you had on him. with your naked foot between his legs, he'd been lucky that you had decided on a coffee shop far from campus and where you could make reservations for the tables in the back. no one could see this, no one.

he watched you press into his bulge a little harder, his lips tightly stuck together to prevent the moans in his throat from jumping out and exposing him further. he was going crazy, definitely the only explanation when he grabbed your foot to grind into it before it was ripped away from him.

"you have a job to do andrew." you said, your voice cutting through him and making him shiver.

"how am i supposed to focus with a huge boner ?"

"i don't know, but you're a big guy, you can figure something out." you grinned, batting your eyelashes seductively.

groaning again, it was his turn to glare at you, the growing heat in his body traveling to his cock rapidly and making his world spin.

"please, don't fucking say that." he slurred, looking down on himself and rubbing his eyes.

"say what ? big guy ? but you're a big guy andy. so, so, so big. can barely take your size." you mused, making your voice sound awfully familiar to him.

the moment your lips pushed out the sift, breathy 'andy', nickname you only used on certain steamy occasions, he was too far gone to focus on this stupid interview. not with his dick so hard, he was sure to react violently at your next actions.

that you knew, which is why you decided to leave. you gathered your things and raised your face to look at him, a soft smile on your gorgeous face. all this time he'd been watching you silently, practically waiting for you to do something.

"you clearly can't focus so let's reschedule, okay ?" you said, tilting your head to the side.

as soon as you took the first to stand up and walk away, his brain restarted. his hands reached towards you, pulling you back down on the seat you'd used and his other arm pulled on it, bringing it close to him. before you could stop him, his hands were on your waist, lifting you up and sitting you down on his lap to hug you tightly.

"please... don't leave... i promise i'll be good." he pleaded softly, his face resting on your shoulder

"you're lying. if i stay here for this, you'll end up having me jerk you off under the table andrew."

"i'm sorry bunny, but it's not my fault only you know ? i love it when you act like you don't know me and all my secrets." he muttered, kissing your shoulder tenderly.

yeah, you were dating.

you'd been dating for at least three years actually and you flew under the radar pretty easily. you didn't want your success to be because of his growing fame so he agreed to hide your relationship. you'd been doing a pretty good job, no one knew, not even the professors. only his parents and brother knew.

running your hand up his nape and into his brown locks, you pulled him to you, kissing his forehead and cupping his face with both of your hands.

"I know all your secrets sure, but i still have to do these baby..." you cooed, grinning when he whined loudly. the transition from you being mean to sweet always gave him whiplash.

"i know... just kinda love it when you're going all journalist on me. you just so mean, can't even think straight." he whispered, pressing his lips to your neck and grinding your ass on his bulge. "you love to have me weak in the knees huh bunny ? wanted to be all cute and cuddly in a nice coffee shop, acting like we're two strangers when i fucked you nice and slow this morning and had you crying and creaming around my cock last night but you had to be a fucking fox as always. wanna see me hard and desperate for you all over the school paper ? you like to see what you do to me huh, baby ?" you purred into your ear, his voice low enough to have you wet in a matter of seconds.

smiling, you kissed the tip of his nose softly, contrasting with you rolling your hips over him.

"can't help it. you look so cute when you're all hot and bothered because of me."

you stilled when you crossed his dark lustful glare, his hand caressing your back and bunching up your dress just enough to grab your thighs tightly. you felt his fingers unclasps your bra and slid it out of your dress to put it inside his own bag.

"let's go home bunny. i'll show you how hot and bothered i can get."

𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙣𝙨: 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝘾𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙩𝙖𝙞

Has an older brother and a twin sister, but he was born five hours before her and technically on a different day

Both have always made him feel like the baby of the family

Thought that the family cat was his sister for the first six years of his life (They lived in the same house and he knew her all his life, so how could they Not be related?) , was devastated to find out otherwise

Had his first kiss in primary school with his best friend at the time; both she and Dinesh were so grossed out that they did not speak to each other ever again

Moved to the U.S. in high school, graduated early and was accepted into uni at 16

Holds the fact that he graduated college over Gilfoyle (who dropped out)'s head. Gilfoyle does not give even one (1) fuck

Astrology nerd, knows everyone in the hostel's birth chart and checks his horoscope religiously

Is the type to make no-homo gay jokes at a party and then end up accidentally making out with a dude

(this happened. he had a panic attack in the bathroom afterward.)

Favourite drink: either a piña colada or a mai tai

Strongly dislikes the taste of alcohol

Pineapple is his favourite flavour

Favourite scent is the Oasis scent from Bath and Body Works (smells like pineapple, summer, and the pool)

Swiftie

Favourite colours are orange and turquoise

Played the "Maximising Alphaness" subliminal video on repeat while working out

He credits his drastic change in physique to that video

If he weren't in the tech business, his dream job would be either an elementary school English teacher or a wedding planner (he loves weddings and would spend hours designing his own future wedding as a kid)

Wanted a lot of kids growing up; still does but he kinda hates kids so he's conflicted

Had a huge Harry Potter phase when he was younger, his Facebook bio used to say "proud Hufflepuff 💛🖤"

Did not get his driving licence until he was 25 years old

He is 3 years older than Gilfoyle

(playlist under construction)

Spoilers (?) Ahead!!!

After Silicon Valley:

Invested 70 percent of his net worth into Dogecoin

Actually made money off of his investment, got out early and made bank

Was the best man at his cousin Wajeed's wedding

Directly after the events of The Pied Piper Thing, he and Gilfoyle fell off and stopped talking

One night about a month later he showed up at Gilfoyle's apartment with a box of doughnuts and a bottle of Tres Commas and demanded they talk

They talked.

Drunkenly suggested that he and Gilfoyle start a podcast.

They did.

It lasted 3 episodes before it was removed from all streaming services due to hateful content

He and Gilfoyle started their own company

Bought the house next to Gilfoyle's in late 2019, but they ended up quarantining together at Gilfoyle's place during the pandemic to at least keep some semblance of sanity

In interviews, Dinesh and Gilfoyle say it was the worst experience of their lives (what else would they say, that they properly enjoyed each other's company and solidified their complex and deep friendship? malarkey.)

Now resides in a cabin in Southern California

Has overcome his fear of dogs.

His dog's name is Buster.

🔹Nanna: "Ah, Hobbes there you are. Bring the car around. That's a good chap."

Me: "How does he even reach the pedals?"

🔹OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, DANCE TILL YOU'RE DEAD! Her voice makes me melt and Scarlett's voice is built for rock music

🔹Of course she's not with them because WHY in God's name would she stay with some namby, pamby theatre singers when she's just that good.

🔹I said what I said and understand if she wanted to go off and do her own thing

🔹Ash standing up for being paid/worked with fairly just like Scarlett has in real life. GENIUS

🔹Rosita stopping the bus because she has nothing else to live for. Me too boo

🔹The songs they used in this movie are just *chef's kiss*

🔹*The team enters the city* Me: "Alexa, play Welcome to New York by Taylor Swift."

🔹IT'S ENDGAME SWIFTIES

🔹*Slow song beings to play* Me: "It's Adele isn't it?"

Singer: "HELLO"

🔹Me: "Why did you buzz the flamingos singing Cake By the Ocean? That was so good!"

🔹Training be like: TIPPY TOES, TIPPY TOES. I CAN'T SEE YOUR TIPPY TOES! I nearly yelled this in the theatre with him NGL.

🔹DARIUS. That is all. I nearly screamed in the theatre and nearly cried due to my uncontrollable laughter

🔹He's such an asshole but I love him

🔹Porsche

🔹The kids next to me: "She's pretty."

Me to Myself: "She's Halsey."

🔹She really sings This Girl is on Fire better than Alicia Keyes

🔹NOOSHY

🔹Wait, is that a Cardi B song with the inappropriate lyrics removed?

🔹Me really wanting her to say "For research purposes" when she asked Johnny to prove that he wasn't a weirdo

🔹LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO 💁🏻

🔹Ash: "But can she act?"

Me, an Intellectual: "That's bold of you to assume since you're an actress Scarlett."

🔹Meena taking a break from practice and meeting Alfonso is literally how I react in social situations. Ice cream in the face and all

🔹That wolf is terrifying

🔹Crawly being driven out of Calloway's house was hilarious

🔹"Pew pew pew." DEAD 😂

🔹*Miss. Crawly with an eye patch*

Me: "Who is she now, Nick Fury?"

🔹Military Crawly is something I never knew I needed. Even when she's using the cherry picker like a tank and they had music to match 😂

🔹*Ash and Moon going to Calloway, only to get KO'd by the electric fence*

Me: "Oh great, you've killed Black Widow again."

🔹Ash going back to Clay and singing while he walks down the stairs and we see the memories of him and his wife. I WAS NEARLY IN TEARS DAMN IT

🔹If Ash riding on the back of Clay's motorcycle isn't pure Scarlett Johansson then I don't know what is

🔹Jimmy Crystal making us all think he killed Buster, when Moon was thankfully hanging off of his arm

🔹Suki for the win!

🔹Ash coming back with Clay and meeting Buster made my heart happy

🔹We're gonna run? No, we're gonna jump out the window with "Soy Yo" playing in the background. Doy

🔹Everyone getting together to sing and Crystal is none the wiser

🔹Johnny: "I'm gonna call for help." *Calls his dad*

Me: "YES!!"

🔹They're working with their local food cupboard haha

🔹Miss Crawly in the cherry picker outside of Porsche's window yelling at her to tell her that she's in again 😂

🔹"Honey, send in the piglets." = Pure Chaos

🔹Damn that cat has to tell everyone everything 👿

🔹Sky Full of Stars was good until Taron decided to stretch his notes 😬

🔹DANCE BATTLE

🔹Porsche singing Could Have Been Me was better than the original 🎶

🔹Shut up the Aye-Aye's are dancing too

🔹Meena fantasizing singing with Alfonso is literally me on the daily with my Fanfiction

🔹Rosita starting strong with Break Free, then the heights get to her again. She saves Buster and belts out a great rendition of the song

🔹Ash and Clay have my heart. The way he almost broke down because he didn't want to sing again... It was so heart wrenching

🔹Ash going out on that stage alone like I knew she was gonna

🔹 HIS WIFE 😭

🔹No, I was not crying during Ash and Clay's duet... You have the wrong woman

🔹The tear was a paid actor

🔹Just me, a commoner, singing passionately next to a group of children. NBD

🔹The ending is legit Squad Goals 🙌🏻

🔹But seriously though, it was so amazing to hear Scarlett's voice again. I absolutely cannot wait for this album

🔹Might just hold back all my strife so that I can watch it again on December 22nd and cry all over again

Buggeruptober day 21 - Wedding

This was partly inspired by the incredibly sweet fic @falling-from-eaves posted for the Wedding prompt last year.

——————

Eliza stood a pace behind Knotty at the front of the little church, back straight and hands folded. As the best woman, she didn’t have much to do in this part of the wedding ceremony besides waiting until it was time to pass Knotty the ring. She touched her skirt pocket to make sure it was still there.

The vicar was droning on, and Eliza’s gaze wandered to the guests. Will’s family hadn’t come, to no one’s surprise, but Mr. Knott was in the front pew, looking proud enough to burst the buttons off his best coat. A few rows back, Ben caught her eye and gave her a little smile. Knotty had invited him, O’Malley, and Wolfe (“Th-they aren’t just my clients, they’re our f-friends.”), and Eliza was planning to ask Ben to dance at the wedding reception.

The tone of the vicar’s voice changed, and Eliza’s attention snapped back to the ceremony. Knotty and Will had turned to face each other, hands clasped. Eliza watched their faces as each of them in turn repeated the vows after the vicar. Knotty’s eyes shone with tears in the light of the altar candles, but his smile was wide, and he didn’t stutter at all. Will was trying to look suave and collected, without much success; his hand trembled visibly as he slipped the ring onto Knotty’s finger.

Now it was Eliza’s turn. She drew the other ring from her pocket and stepped forward to hand it to Knotty, who turned to take it, then paused, looking at her. She wasn’t sure what thoughts were passing behind his eyes, but she recognized the wavery smile that meant he was feeling too much to put into words. “Thank you, Eliza,” he murmured.

Eliza knew he wasn’t just thanking her for the ring. “Anytime,” she said softly, smiling back at him.

* * *

Vincent had gone through the first part of the wedding ceremony in a kind of haze, where the only things that seemed real were Will’s fingers curled around his and Will’s voice (with a slight, betraying quiver that maybe only he heard) promising to love and cherish him as long as they both lived.

Then he turned, and there was Eliza, holding out the ring for him to give to Will. Eliza, wearing a new dress in the tailored, full-skirted style she liked, looking so different from the Swifty of their shared childhood, but somehow also exactly the same. Her encouraging smile seemed to say You got this, Knotty!

There had never been any question about who Vincent would choose as his attendant, but at that moment he was deeply glad to have picked Eliza. Amidst all the wonderful new things happening in his life – his degree from the University, his fledgling legal practice, the imminent prospect of having Will at his side for the rest of their lives – Eliza’s presence grounded him, reminding him of who he was and how he had gotten here. As he took Will’s hand again, he could still feel her there at his back.

The plain gold band slid easily onto Will’s finger, and Vincent heard Will catch his breath. He gave the hand he held a quick, private squeeze, which Will returned. Before he knew it the ceremony was ending, the vicar pronouncing them officially married.

Married. A great surge of joy swept over Vincent at the word. He looked up into Will’s handsome face, the blue eyes holding that soft smile that appeared only for him, and felt the tears that had been welling in his own eyes finally spill over and roll down his cheeks. He was too happy to care.

* * *

As Will gazed down into those big green eyes, now bright with tears of joy, he felt as if his heart were doing somersaults in his chest. He cupped Vincent’s face in his hands, gently wiping away the silver tear tracks with his thumbs, and kissed him.

He came back to himself to hear people clapping and cheering. He would have liked to kiss Vincent again right away, but he supposed that would have to wait. It wasn’t as if they wouldn’t have plenty of chances. He could hardly believe that Vincent was now his husband – Vincent, the cleverest, most compassionate, most utterly wonderful man he had ever met. He wasn’t quite sure he deserved to be this happy.

Over Vincent’s shoulder, Will saw Eliza grin and give him a discreet thumbs-up. He was glad she approved; he knew how much her opinion meant to Vincent, and over the last few years it had come to mean a lot to him as well. He would have liked to have her as his attendant, but that was unquestionably Vincent’s prerogative. Instead he had asked Murphy, the only one of his university classmates he had kept in touch with; Murphy could be counted on not to tease him if his polished façade cracked under pre-wedding jitters (as it had that morning).

Vincent stretched up on his toes to brush another kiss across Will’s cheek. “We’d better go,” he murmured, nodding toward the church door. “Nobody else can l-leave until we do, and the reception is waiting.”

Will smiled and drew Vincent’s arm through his. “I’ll go anywhere with you,” he said.

They started down the aisle, followed by Eliza and Murphy; everyone they passed smiled at them or called out good wishes. Will was reminded again that only a handful of the guests were people he had personally invited, and none of them were related to him by blood. That knowledge hurt less than it had, though, its sharp edges softened by the feel of Vincent’s hand on his arm and the way his face shone whenever he looked at Will.

Will gazed down at the wedding ring gleaming against the warm brown of Vincent’s skin, then at the matching ring on his own paler hand. The two of them had decided long ago that they belonged to each other; now everyone else could see it too, and that felt even better than Will had imagined.

—————

Note: I was the “best maid” when my childhood friend Dan got married, and afterward he told me something similar to what Knotty thinks about Eliza keeping him grounded.

Murphy belongs to @buggerup-busters.

I need more Swiftie friends. All my friends are like “why do you mention Taylor in everything?” Like they’ll be like “ghost busters” and I’ll be like “fun fact. Taylor lives across from the ghost busters house in NYC” and they’d be like “no one asked for another Taylor Swift fact” 😂😂

REPUTATION LYRIC INSPIRED TOUR OUTFITS AND POSTERS PART 1

A lot of these posters are pictured in either giant bubble letters, rep font or in calligraphy. Can’t do any of these? Download the rep font or font you wish to use, type up what you want in a big enough font size, print, cut, and trace, or glue them down up to you! Of course, write these however you wish!

Hello all! Thanks for waiting so patiently for this list! Because of how long it is and how very excited you all have been waiting for this we have decided to post it into 2 parts to keep the excitement going. Part 2 will be coming in just a few short days and will be linked here, maybe even sooner than you think! Please enjoy all the ideas we listed below so far, send us others you may have and want to share with the swiftie world. We apologize if the formatting on this looks bad on mobile, we are trying to actively make it easily accessible and readable across all platforms!

And lastly, enjoy and tag us in these recreations! We want to see them! We want to help them get seen by Taylor!

Find the Reputation Part 2 list here.

Find the 1989 idea list here and here.

Find the Red idea list here.

Find more costume and poster ideas and tips here.

lovelovelove,

- Reputation Costumes.

…READY FOR IT?:

1. “Knew he was a killer” – you and a friend or significant other dress up as a killer and their victim (not to scary or realistic though! Just have fun with it)

2. “Left haunted” – could make a fun sign saying “Taylor left me haunted” or something silly with the word haunted! Could even use Haunted (Speak Now) lyrics!

3. “But if he’s a ghost, then I can be a phantom” – Few ideas:

→ Two people could dress up as ghosts.

→ Could also dress up as Danny Phantom because of the wordplay, or even the Phantom of the Opera if you wanted to be clever.

→ Could also dress up as ghost hunters/ghost busters.

4. “Holdin’ him for ransom” – dress as bank robbers! Could even copy the outfits from the vault scene in LWYMMD.

5. “I keep him forever, like a vendetta-ta” – Poster that replaces him for Taylor, so it says I keep Taylor forever, like a vendetta-ta.

6. “Island breeze and lights down low” – maybe dress tropical—think family vacation ha.

→ Could even improvise a poster that instead of saying island it could say (city name) breeze and stadium lights down low. Ex: “Boston breeze and stadium lights down low” (yes, I know its FOXBORO, but we all know Taylor just calls it Boston lol).

7. “In the middle of the night” – Dress as if you’re the night sky, glow in the dark ceiling stars or tape on a black/navy blue outfit with glitter. A matching poster in the shape of a star or a moon would be the perfect pairing.

8. “Are you ready for it?” – Poster with these lyrics on it. Remember posters can be as simple or as creative as you’d like. If you have a large enough group, you could make giant cutouts and hold two letters or so each.

9. “Stealing hearts and running off..” – A poster in the shape of a heart (not anatomical) with the lyrics on it.

10. “He can be my jailer” – Cop and Robber costume, could do the orange jumpsuit from the LWYMMD video and copy the “guards” around the birdcages outfits.

11. “Burton to this Taylor” – dress as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor

12. “Let the games begin” – Multiple options for this one.

→ Could dress as a referee/sport player/some sort of sport reference

→ Have a game board attached to your outfit, make your own Taylor inspired game, maybe by gluing homemade items over a monopoly and have little trivia questions about her.

→ Game board inspired poster—an Uno card but with these lyrics rather than traditional uno face.

13. Recreate one of the outfits from the music video

END GAME:

1. “I wanna be your endgame” – Poster designed as your favorite/or classic “end game” credit logo.

2. “I wanna be your first string” – Sometimes related to sports or your favorite ship from a TV show/Film/Book so do what you may with this.

3. “I wanna be your A-Team” – Could dress up as the A Team. Poster with friends that spell out A-Team.

4. “Big Reputation” – Poster with these lyrics or wear the End Game merch sold on Taylor’s site. Can’t afford it? Make your own with stencils and fabric paint!

5. “I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put ‘em” – Make/buy a shirt with a map on it—think buried treasure map with x’s to mark where stuff is hidden!

6. “Your body is gold” – Gold morph suit, gold body paint, gold glitter, gold anything! Dawn yourself in all gold for this look.

7. “So here’s the truth from my red lips” – Make an outfit with red lips open with a speech bubble above it and have end game lyrics in each one! Or make a poster with the same idea.

8. Recreate one of the many music video outfits!

I DID SOMETHING BAD:

1. “I play ‘em like a violin” – Make a poster cut out into the same of a violin and wear music notes.

2. ‘Now all he thinks about is me” – Poster saying “Now all I think about is Taylor”

3. “I can feel the flames on my skin” – Body paint flames in your arms/legs or wear flame pattern shirt.

4. “Crimson red paint on my lips” – Could be similar to the one above from End Game with red lips all over your outfit or a poster.

5. “If a man talk shit, then I owe him nothing” – Great lyric for a poster! Don’t want to put the swear on the poster? Get creative and maybe use the emoji covering its mouth or symbols!

6. “I never trust a playboy, but they love me” – Going with a guy friend? Could have him dress like Hugh Hefner but of course remember the necessary clothing needed to get into a venue if you do this! Could also dress as a bunny (playboy related or just average you decide)

7. “So I fly ‘em all around the world” – Going to multiple shows? Make a poster of a globe with airplanes landing on each tour stop you’re going to!

8. “They’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one” – Dress as a witch, could be inspired from the Salem witch trials, could be a cartoon-y Halloween one, or one from your favorite show or movie that involves witches!

9. “Pitchforks and proof, their receipts and reasons” – Poster in the shape of a pitchfork or one that looks like a store receipt or screenshotted iMessage but using Taylor lyrics as the messages or purchases!

10. “Light me up” – Most shows apparently will not allow lights but doesn’t mean you can’t light up with glow sticks, glow in the dark body paint/outfits or glitter!

11. “Most fun I ever had” – Poster saying “Taylor Concerts are the most fun I ever had!”

DON’T BLAME ME:

1. “Don’t blame me, love made me crazy” – Poster that says, “Don’t blame me, Taylor made me crazy.”

2. “Darkest little paradise” – Black lace vibe from this lyric, especially picturing those pumps that have fur on the front near the toes. Could also make a sign that’s a midnight black sky with glow in the dark stars writing out the lyric.

3. “They say, ‘She’s gone too far this time’” – Poster with this lyric and a map tracking all your shows if you’re going to multiple. Could have all the miles listed under each show!

4. “Halo, hiding my obsession” – Angel outfit? Make the halo out of glow sticks so it shines after the lights go down. Poster that says hiding my obsession, maybe make it look like a TSL post.

5. “I once was poison ivy, but now I’m your daisy” – Few ideas for this:

→ An outfit that starts as poison ivy on the bottom but slowly progress to daisies. Could have buds of daisies starting at the bottom with the ivy and start to have them bloom as it increases until it’s just all daisies.

→ Poster that spells out poison ivy in plastic (or real or drawn completely up to you) poison ivy.

→ Poster that spells out Daisy with Daisies from a craft store!

→ Daisy Buchanan from Gatsby.

→ Poison Ivy comic.

6. “Fall from grace” – Michael and Lucifer, so aka could go as a fallen angel or the devil. If you watch Supernatural then you can pull from that for inspiration!

7. Taylor related this song to church, love and drug use because those 3 are powerful enough to change a person. Dressing up as if you’re in a choir could fit this song! Even something church related, however trying to remain neutral with that can be difficult.

8. Some people get a Fifty Shades of Grey vibe from this song, do what you may with that.

DELICATE:

1. Poster spelling out delicate with an assortment of colorful fake flowers.

2. “You can make me a drink” – Poster cut out in the shape of a wine glass with the lyrics being written in a bold, thick font and place to look as if from far away its wine drawn in the glass.

4. Fringe outfit similar to the video.

5. Dive bar outfit.

6. “Dark jeans and your Nikes” – Could easily where this exact outfit paired with a Taylor shirt if you aren’t into dressing up for shows!

7. “Never seen that color blue” – Poster with sketched blue eyes and these lyrics underneath it. Could also wear an entire blue outfit.

8. “Is it chill that you’re in my head?” – poster ideas:

→ Is it chill that Taylor’s in my head?

→ Is it chill that you’re in my head, Taylor?

9. “Handsome, you’re a mansion with a view.” - Dress up with a costume similar in the idea of the a skyscraper costume but as a fancy house!

10. “Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs” - Poster with an echoing effect (think Microsoft early 2000s word art) on the lyrics. Could even place the lyrics on top of one another to look like it’s building a staircase.

LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO:

1. “I don’t like your little games” – See similar ideas for game inspired outfits above, OR

→ Make an outfit featuring miniature games attached to you, like Tamagotchi’s or make your own mini monopoly/life/etc. boards and glue them onto your outfit or poster. Possibly break the little boards in half and have broken pieces to represent not liking them.

2. “Of the fool” – Could dress up as a fool/clown. Silly, whimsical costume.

3. “Said the gun was mine” – Could do a poster of a smoking gun with the lyrics looking like they came out of the gun/the toy guns where flags pop out.

4. “Rose up from the dead” – Zombie! Tombstone poster!

5. “I’ve got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined” – List of names—Taylor related, maybe her cats or not—but have them all crossed out besides for Taylors at the bottom.

6. “I check it once, then I check it twice” – Some say this reminds them of Santa so by all means feel free to dress up Christmas-y.

7. “Look what you made me do” – Use the lyric video to create cool posters.

8. “I don’t like your kingdom keys” – few ideas:

→ Outfit with keys drawn on, make them look vintage and old, wear crowns with this look! Could also have keys dangling off the ends of the outfit.

→ Giant gold key posters, make them look novelty like the ones cities give to honor people.

9. Drama and Karma matching glitter posters.

10. Snake skin, snake rings, snake anything!

11. Choose one of the many outfits Taylor is seen wearing throughout the LWYMMD video, we’ll hopefully have some great, cheap knockoffs for these soon!

12. Dress up as “old Taylor” so this basically opens up endless possibilities from each era, check out our 1989 and Red costume lists for more ideas! Hopefully we can work on Speak Now, Fearless and Debut inspired lists soon too!

13. Merch! Merch! Merch! She has tons of Look merch on her site, wear that if you want to be casual.

14. Similar Blind for Love sweater is available on eBay! The similar patches are also sold at craft stores or online (eBay).

15. Use the patches sold through Taylor Swift’s store to make you’re own one of a kind outfit--whether it be a denim jacket, dress, you name it! You can even design you’re own patches using crafts.

16. “The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now” - Poster using a picture of the “old Taylor” and a poster in the shape of a phone! Could incorporate the Our Song video, WANEGBT video, or the Look video when she’s on a phone.

SO IT GOES…

1. “See you in the dark” – Poster where the word Dark is written in glow in the dark paint/marker to show up after the lights go down!

2. “All eyes on you” – Outfit with googly eyes glued all over it. Or create a poster with the same idea and the lyrics changed to “All eyes on Taylor”

→ Add “my magician” if you wish to the end of the poster lyric or combine the googly eyes theme with a magician costume.

3. “My magician” – Multiple options:

→ Dress up in a magician’s costume, this can be traditional, or you can be as creative as you want with it.

→ Poster cut out to look like you’re holding a fan of cards (think trick magician’s deck) with any lyrics from the song written on it.

→ Could dress up as a magician’s assistant.

→ Dress up as a rabbit/bunny (stereotypically used in acts)

→ Poster in the shape of a bunny peeking out of a magician’s hat, or just the ears sticking out of the hat, with so it goes lyrics on it.

→ Poster of a crystal ball with “all eyes on you, my magician” written in it.

4. “You make everyone disappear” – “Taylor makes everyone disappear” written on a poster. Possibly write it in glow in the dark ink so it only shows when the lights are down and not before!

5. “Cut me into pieces” – Puzzle piece posters! You and a group of friends can each hold a piece that fits into the other and each can have one word of a line from any reputation song or simply use the “cut me into pieces”

6. “Gold cage, hostage to my feelings” – 2 options:

→ Make a cut out poster in the shape of a cage, individual cut out in between each bar so it’s open, do two sides like this and attach strings to wear the sign so it looks like the cage is around you. Could even wear this with the orange jumpsuit outfit from the Look video!

→ Poster in the shape of a gold bird cage with “hostage to my feelings” written inside of it.

7. “All our pieces fall right into place” – Poster with confetti, puzzle pieces, hearts either drawn on or glued. Either place or draw the pieces to spell out the lyrics as they fall down to a pile at the bottom of the poster paper or just have the pieces you decide to use “raining” down halfway through the poster and have the lyrics on the bottom half.

8. “So it goes…” Poster with these lyrics.

9. “Met you in a bar” – 2 options:

→ Poster drawn and cut out like a whiskey bottle with these lyrics, Taylor and reputation written on the label.

→ Using half of a poster board, draw what looks like a bar top (typically mahogany) with bottles either laying or standing across it and a few shot glasses, each bottle could be named after a song on the album!

10. “All eyes on us/All eyes on you/All eyes on me” - Staring eye emoji drawn on a poster with a thought bubble above it with one of these 3 lyrics in the bubble.

11. “I make all your grey days clear” –

→ One person dresses up as a cloudy/rainy day so all grey clothes and have reflective blue tape cut into rain drops and white reflective tape to represent clouds (typically clouds are grey/black when it’s raining but those two colors won’t be reflective, could use glow in the dark paint/tape as well). Could also wear a cloud poster with raindrops hanging from it on string around them or hold as a regular poster with these lyrics in the cloud.

→ Second person dresses up as sunny day, in preferably light blue to represent a clear sky, yellow reflective tape cut out as suns on the outfit—could even have some breaking through clouds using white reflective tape. Person could also wear a sun poster around them like suggested above for the grey day look.

12. “Wear you like a necklace” – Think flavor flav! Make a giant fake watch (or not a watch and just a necklace) out of string and cardboard. Have the reputation album cover or cd artwork be hanging from it/as the face of the watch.

13. “Dressed in black now” – Wear all black! Draw attention to yourself with some glow in the dark paint or stickers, glow sticks and glitter.

14. “Scratches down your back” – Might not be appropriate with what its referencing for younger crowds and you may get looks from parents but create a shirt with bloody scratches down the backside and let the front side have “so it goes…” written on it.

15. “You did a number on me” – Few options:

→ Poster cut out into a 13/22/1989 with the lyric written throughout the 13/22/1989.

→ Poster with an array of numbers related to Taylor filling it (13, 22, 1989, 10(Grammys), etc.). Write the lyrics in rep font first and draw the numbers around it, filling the background. Write in glow in the dark paint/tape, glue flowers over the lyrics, whatever you desire! Can even just use the word rep instead of doing the lyrics.

→ Idea above for the poster could also work on a shirt.

→ Poster with the number of shows you’re attending.

16. “Who’s counting?” – See the ideas for the lyric above, they work well with this one as well.

Photos.

This was a great show. This B Block on paper looked considerably stronger than its A Block counterpart, and on the basis of the first two nights, I’d say that was a fair assessment. B Block action kicked off with a really good little 8 minuter between CHAOS stablemates Ishii and Yano. This was way better than expected, mainly because it was completely different to what was expected. Instead of the usual Yano comedy show, we got an actual wrestling match which was a nice little hybrid of both guys’ regular matches. They traded shoulder tackles, forearms, lariats and suplexes (yes, Yano was throwing suplexes like he was a Steiner), before Yano reverted to form and removed the turnbuckle pad, and slingshotted Ishii into the exposed steel. Ishii battled back with hard lariats and a headbutt, then tried the Brainbuster, but YTR turned it into a Fireman’s cradle for a near fall. Yano teased a low blow, but the ref stopped him, then the ref was bumped, Ishii hit a low blow on Yano, then scored the winning three count with La Magistral cradle. This match was just a ton of fun and probably the best actual in-ring performance. I’ve seen in years from Yano. A newly-on-the-push Tama Tonga pinned US Champion Juice Robinson in 14:05 of a match that nobody cared about. The work was really solid, but there was no heat. After Juice hit a Jackhammer and a gut buster, Tanga Loa ran in, but was swifty nailed with the cast bound Big Left Hand, before Juice turned around into a Gun Stun to take the loss.

Things really picked up with the next three bouts. Goto and SANADA had a great, fast paced match that built really well to a captivating climax. Goto hit an Ushigoroshi, only for SANADA to hit the same move on its owner, then locked on Skull End, but Goto got free, prompting Cold Skull to go for the Moonsault, but Goto moved. SANADA took a great inside out bump off a big Goto lariat, then did Goto’s signature runing the ropes reversals spot, which ended in SANADA locking on Skull End off a quebrada, but Goto escaped with a reverse GTR, then hit the real GTR to take the win and the two points at 13:38. ZSJ and Kota Ibushi had their usual excellent technical masterclass. Lots of submissions from Sabre (would you believe?) and Ibushi would battle back with his stiff kicks and palm strikes. Zack turned a Last Ride attempt into a single leg crab, and scored a near fall with a PK. They traded hard strikes, and Sabre turned a Kamigoye into a triangle choke, which Ibushi turned into a Last Ride in a call back to their match from last years G1. Sabre, who’s now using the Michinoku Driver, tried the move, but Kota turned it into a Dragon Suplex. Zack again turned a Kamigoye attempt into a knee bar, then went for the European Clutch, but Ibushi rolled through into a straight jacket suplex, before transitioning that into a match winning Kamigoye at the 22:58 mark of an excellent match.

Then it was main event time, which was a rematch of the all-time best G1 Final ever as IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega took on Tetsuya Naito. This was a classic G1 match, and whilst a shade inferior to their two previous bouts together, was just tremendous stuff. The crowd were super into this one, going crazy for its 23:19 running time. They hit all their big spots, and whilst it was both guys first G1 match of the year, they worked it like it was the final. This got really crazy when Kenny hit his huge dive over the barricade, into the crowd. They made it back inside and Omega went up top, but Naito crotched him. He went for the top rope Frankensteiner, but Kenny dropped Naito face-first on the turnbuckles, in a great call back to the match from last year. Omega with a snap dragon and a Doctor Bomb scored a near fall. Kenny tried OWA, but Naito countered with a reverse rana. They went up top again and Naito hit a reverse rana from there, and gloria for a great near fall. Omega starts obliterating Naito with V-Triggers, then goes for OWA again, but Naito turns it into Destino. Naito with another Destino attempt, but Kenny turns it into a sitout Tombstone, which looked scary. Omega then teased a top rope Dragon Suplex, but thankfully Naito fought free and hit a sunset bomb. Naito hit a beautiful uranage suplex, then tried another Destino, but Kenny turns it into a package Tombstone. Some more V-Triggers, a double underhook piledriver and a One Winged Angel followed for the champion, resulting in his getting the win and the two point lead. This was a fantastic match.

Giants Outlast Dodgers in 14

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about Strat-O-Matic baseball and a simulation of a game I played made of up Giants and Dodgers from the 1982, 1993 and 2016 teams. Here’s a recap:

What started as an iconic battle of superstars ended as a war of attrition between forgotten hurlers as the Super Giants outlasted the Super Dodgers 7-6 in 14 innings at Candlestick Park. The match-up of ballclubs made up of players from three different eras gave more than 50,000 fans a long afternoon of disappointments and thrills.

Madison Bumgarner labored through five innings, giving up eight hits and six runs, all earned. His key mistake came in the third when he walked Brett Butler and Justin Turner to load them up for a Corey Seager grand slam. Bumgarner glared at Seager as the shortstop rounded the bases.

The Giants rebounded to tie the game in the bottom of the frame thanks to some sloppy defense behind 1982 phenom Fernando Venezuela. With two out, a run in and Barry Bonds on second, “El Toro” seemed to be out of the inning when Jack Clark rolled one over to Chase Utley at second. Utley booted it, opening the door for a run-scoring single from Buster Posey, a Brandon Belt walk and a bases clearing double from Brandon Crawford.

The rally breathed new life into the Super Giants. Darren Lewis led off the bottom of the fourth with a single and a steal and Matt Williams drove him in with a double.

Super Giants manager Bruce Bochy left himself open to a rare moment of second-guessing when he left Bumgarner in for one batter too many in the sixth. After giving up back-to-back singles to 1993 all-star Mike Piazza and 2016 first basemen Adrian Gonzalez, Bochy visited the mound to check on the 2014 World Series MVP. MadBum stayed in to face 1982 left fielder Dusty Baker who singled in the tying run. Bumgarner handed the ball over to Vida Blue who allowed Gonzalez to score on a fielder’s choice. The Dodgers had a 6-5 lead and the day wasn’t even half over yet.

“We felt pretty good with the lead and MadBum on the hill at that point,” said Bochy. “It’s on me that we couldn’t hold the lead and the game got out of hand the way that it did.”

1993 Dodger rookie Pedro Martinez and 2016 journeyman Joe Blanton held the Giants in check through the seventh. The Giants matched them with scoreless innings from Vida, Al Holland and 1982 closer Greg “Moon Man” Minton.

Super Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda felt confident turning the game over to his lock-down bullpen in the eighth, calling on Pedro Baez. Lasorda’s faith wasn’t rewarded as Baez gave up a game-tying homer to Darren Lewis.

“How the f*** was I supposed to know that little f***in’ centerfielder would have the g**d*** game of his life,” Lasorda yelled after the game. “Four hits, two steals and a g**d*** homer against my best set-up guy? Who the f*** am I? Nostradamus?”

With the game tied at six, the teams settled in for a long slog. Rod Beck pitched an uneventful inning and two-thirds, while Kenley Jansen turned in two solid innings. At that point, the Giants turned to Doyle Alexander and the Dodgers to Jim Gott to go the rest of the way.

“I coulda put in Swifty or Burkett for a couple of innings, but they’re not relievers,” Bochy said afterwards. “Doyle was gonna stay in there to the end and he did the job.”

Alexander pitched three solid innings of relief, pitching around a lead-off double by Howie Kendrick in the 14th. Gott wasn’t as fortunate in the bottom of the inning, giving up singles to Williams and Jack Clark, then walking Posey to load the bases before giving Brandon Belt a free pass for the win.

“Get the f*** outta my face with that tape recorder,” Lasorda barked as he stormed away from reporters.

Game Notes:

1993 second baseman Robby Thompson had a day to forget, going oh-for seven and striking out five times.

Dodger bats were largely silent after tying the game in the sixth, with only three runners reaching scoring position in the next eight innings.

Alexander hit for himself in the 13th and reached on the second Dodger error of the day, this one charged to Corey Seager.

Both the Giants and Dodgers used six pitchers, with only three starters left for each team at the end of the game.
