Not to be all “I listen to Taylor Swift in a deeper and intellectual way” meme but I am seeing some people just not getting this album at all and I am a bit surprised by it.

#taylor swift #ttpd #the tortured poets department #like some people are just missing the point completely #I feel like she’s the most vulnerable and honest she’s ever been and people are mad at it? don’t like her approach to it?#and the whole thing is about just letting everything exist and feel it in order to move on from it #and not shrinking yourself to fit expectations

Legend tells of the carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate at the crest of a river and became a stand up comedian.

#also toyed with calling this comic riddle of the sphinx #but that had a little too much reference already associated with it #comic #comics #sphinx #dragon #ive been thinking so much about humor as related to the tortured artist and comedians and poets as sad artists etc etc #and how often that can be true but how this predominant cultural vision pigeonholes comedy as a low art or even just one you have to just #'be talented' at intrinsically. or even 'be sad enough' to be good at #instead of a craft you hone and an artform itself #this comic isnt exactly about that.#but it's related #it's more about... two very different kinds of people. but who are the same kind of artist #if that makes sense #and literally being scared of what you want #art tag #sequential art #personal comic #quite happy with how this one turned out. im excited to have made it i feel like its really different than my usual comics

Obviously we have to wait for the video to know the story, but for anyone who’s studied any kind of social history/psychology/sociology/etc. And knows a little about the diagnosis of hysteria, Victorian mores, the use of lobotomies/shock therapy/etc to treat women who failed to live up to patriarchal ideals and the minimizing of women’s physical and mental health issues historically in the medical and psychiatric fields plus the old Hollywood of it all… the imagery is Telling The Story. I am fucking SEATED.

#I feel like I’ve been slammed back in time to being 19 in college right now lol #AND I SAID MY DEGREE WOULD NEVER COME IN HANDY LMAO #social psych social history film comms LOOK MA ALL MY CLASSES ARE GIVING ME AN A IN SWIFTIEISM #oh yeah I forgot history of western medicine I did that one too lol #the tortured poets department #fortnight mv

i think a lot of people are missing the point of the songs. the person behind the pronoun keeps changing. she’s expressing her feelings about joe via matty. for example in fortnight imo “all of this to say, i hope you’re okay, but you’re the reason, and no one here's to blame, but what about your quiet treason?” is about joe and then “and for a fortnight, there we were forever, run into you sometimes, ask about the weather, now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors” is about matty, and the “i love you, it’s ruining my life” is about both of them. also, based on your interpretation, you could switch people around to fit these songs because it seems they’re a lot alike… a lot of what she’s trying to say is “what happened between us [her & joe] drove me to be insane” and the insane part happened with matty, hence, he’s in all these songs. i think we need to think of these songs in hoax light aka about 2 or people at once

you know what makes me so queasy? the progression from “i once was poison ivy, but now i’m your daisy” → “pick your poison, babe, i’m poison either way” and “i’m the death you chose, you’re in terrible danger”

#taylor swift #ttpd #the tortured poets department #imgonnagetyouback #the albatross #reputation #don’t blame me #she shifts into a healthier mindset in regards to this theme at the end of the albatross #see: “i’m the life you chose and all this terrible danger”#but knowing that for a period of time she did revert back to feeling like she causes pain and damage to everyone and everything she touches #just makes my stomach turn #it’s so devastating to think about #*

Wisteria Blooms

I was walking home today when I realized the wisteria hanging from the tree on the hill had already started falling off.

I had meant to take a picture of it last week because I thought it was so pretty. I didn’t think it would be gone so soon.

-

I wonder what else I’ve missed my chance to do because I didn’t think it was the right time.

The way Taylor repeatedly talks about how she feels like her youth was drained and taken and is upset about feeling that way on multiple songs on THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT and in “So High School” she compares this new relationship to making her feel like she’s back in high school is just so lovely.

#taylor swift #ttpd #the tortured poets department #like she’s realizing that maybe it wasn’t completely lost and you just needed to find someone to remind you of those feelings #was thinking about this while listening to the album in the car

“The crowd goes wild at her fingertips/half moonshine, full eclipse” — I don’t mean to overthink (lol) before the songs come out but taken like this (after seeing it set to eras gifs) I love the interpretation I’ve seen that it’s like, she gets on stage and the roar of the crowd is an intoxicating tonic that momentarily overshadows whatever she’s going through. Or, that the magic she creates intoxicates the crowd, all eyes on her in total rapture.

Idk idk idk I know these songs are going to just grab me in a chokehold

#the tortured poets department #the ‘half moonshine’ is sending me for its multiple meanings #the obvious being home brew liquor #it already sounds like such a banger lyric lol #and I’m sooooooo intrigued with it in relation to full eclipse #like the eclipse is a thing that hides something else #but it also absolutely draws attention and captivates people #it’s fleeting and otherworldly and is over before you know it #but for a moment in time it’s all anyone can see and feel #(but there’s also the darker side of how the moon covers the moon — but even then #the sun still pops out from behind begging to be seen and it creates the most mesmerizing show)
