I know ACOTAR is a fantasy series with battle armor and fancy clothing. But just imagine the bat boys in business casual clothing. They all would slay a turtle neck.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

did you guys know tony blair actually wrote supercut by lorde?

this is dedicated to @tonyblairwitchproject thank u for enabling me

the process of putting together a supercut, of rewriting and reimagining an (artificially) positive version of a particular storyline, is eerily similar to what tony blair does in every aspect of his life. this is especially noticeable when it comes to his relationship with gordon though — he rarely goes into detail as to just how ugly their interactions were, and his public statements about why they grew apart are always imbued with soulless language about “professional” and “political” disagreements, rather than any honesty about the deep personal betrayal that was actually going on. plus, whenever tony does express any sense of anguish over the breakdown of the relationship, he’s always incredibly quick to defend his own behaviour (denying granita even happened… what the hell), erasing any responsibility he might bear. he is LITERALLY creating and playing a supercut, one which only has any traction in his own head.

journalists have written about new labour in 1997 being drenched in a certain magic, offering the public something to believe in. “gave” is past tense though, as the tbgb relationship began to deteriorate just months after getting into government, and newlab’s popularity would only dwindle as the years went on.

remember that one clip in the gq alastair campbell interview where tony refused to say he didn’t dream about gordon? yeah i remember it too, isn’t that funny!

two things to say here. one, tony can’t reach for gordon because they are not on speaking terms like whatsoever not even remotely. two, i truly think that tony has repeated his own version of events concerning gordon, both in his head and in public, so many times that he’s come to view them as reality — even if tony did interact with gordon properly, he would only be able to see the version of gordon that he’s created.

1994-2005 (ish), they wanted to reconcile and ease the tensions, but external pressures (teams around them, pressures of the jobs, emotional blockages etc) prevented them from truly fixing anything.

Tthese lyrics give me the impression that the speaker would twist themselves into any shape, fashion themselves into any persona, just to hold the attention of the person these lines are directed at. Very much reminds me of accounts re the 1994 leadership discussions, where it’s said that tony was promising gordon anything and everything to get him to swing behind him, then making similarly wild promises about succession later in government just to keep gordon playing the game. Also, it reminds me of that absolutely fucking awful (positive) rawnsley quote that goes something like “tony would cajole, plead, argue, rail against gordon”, just to get him to talk to him.

in my head, this section relates to his immediate post-pmship period, where he’s taking on international roles left and right to try and recreate the pure magic of newlab (and ultimately failing! lets’s not be dishonest here).

THIS IS THE MOST TONY BLAIR SET OF LINES IN EXISTENCE!!! PAY ATTENTION HERE!!!!!!!

first line relates to the nonsense (very sensible accurate analysis) i was spinning about tony rewriting his and gordon’s history, erasing his own culpability and capacity for TREACHERY! the lines about calling… such an obvious parallel with the infamous three hour phone calls, the “endless circular conversations”, the screaming fits down the telephone line…….

another dreaming reference? more likely than you’d think

this outro, although repeating lines i have already covered is actually very important to cover separately. the way that it just repeats itself, over and over and over and over, until the song finishes is actually incredibly aligned to tony’s mentality when it comes to tbgb. as i said earlier, i truly think that tony has repeated his own narrative regarding the way that he treated gordon — and his responsibility for how their relationship played out — enough times to view it as reality. he is insane and i understand him like nobody else.

Behold, my cassrose vision

[beemintty]

currently reading: His Dark Materials Book Two: The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

quote: “…cruelties and horrors all committed in the name of the Authority, all designed to destroy the joys and the truthfulness of life.”

current thoughts: this author is known to be “church hating” and it comes out in their writing very clearly. but they make a very valid point: “The Church” uses Gods name in to validate cruelty and hatred and violence and abuse. “It’s Gods will!” What? It’s Gods will to cast out, abuse and hate people who are any different. Its Gods will to burn women at the stakes because they were different or helpful even. It’s Gods will to keep slaves. Its Gods will to colonise First Nations peoples land. It’s Gods will to go to war. It’s Gods will to strip people of their identity and soul just because they don’t love conventionally. GODS WILL TO TAKE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT PALESTINIANS BECAUSE THAT LAND BELONGS TO ISRAEL AND THEY ARE GODS PEOPLE. it’s Gods will to inflict suffering and pain and cruelty on the people of the world. Do you see how insane that sounds? The same excuse. “We can do it because it’s in the name of Jesus.” What about that says Jesus? The man who walked among sinners because he loved them? The man who healed. The man who SACRIFICED HIS LIFE SO WE COULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM! What about all these cruelties has God written on them? NOTHING! So stop using a kind and just God as an excuse to do horrible things!
