choose your own smut adventure. part seven – matty healy
previous. start.
You hesitate. There’s a fluttering book of positions in your head, more a dirty collection of fantasies than a concrete list. Matty features in all of them. You blink at him, overwhelmed with choices. He tightens his hold around your hand, forcing you to consider him. His hair is sweaty and unruly, his lips swollen and sticky wet, his eyes dark and piercing. He looks like your favorite renaissance painting; artful, historical, mythical.
Your eyes greedily devour him. You part your lips, moaning confessionally, “I want to ride you.” Now that the thought sprouts out of your mouth, an excited thrum reverberates through you. It is pleasing just to vaguely imagine behind your eyelids. You don’t want him, you need him.
Matty makes a little choking sound, but he snaps back quicker than your bold blowjob demand. He doesn’t even faux-humbly make you repeat yourself, pretending to hesitate, to barter. He sees in your hungry gaze that there is no uncertainty in your words.
“I want you to ride me, too,” Matty whispers. You shiver at his tone, gravely and dangerous.
He bends down to kiss you. His hands tangle in your hair, stealing the breath out of your mouth, making you lightheaded. Your mind fizzles as you grasp at his shoulders. Your limbs buzz with pleasure like TV static. You spread your legs wider, trying to get some friction going.
Matty grabs a handful of your ass and makes you grind against his hard cock. You gasp, your mouth leaving his, and roll your head on the pillow. It’s a sinfully delicious feeling; he chuckles lightly in your neck.
But you don’t want to lay there and take it like usual. You want to blow his mind, change your life. You push on his shoulders, rolling the both of you until you straddle his lap.
Matty’s curls spill on the pillows. His hands settle on your thighs, spreading wide on the skin. He looks up at you, happy and proud, worshiping. You straighten your back; his eyes fall to your tits. You snort. Still just a man.
Now that you’re up there, you’re not quite sure what to do. It seems like an overwhelming endeavor, and you feel a ping of pity for all the men in your life who had to have been responsible for both your pleasures, unsuccessful as they were.
“I don’t—” You flush, looking away. Matty frowns at you. “I’ve never— done this. I don’t know how.”
“Well,” he smiles indulgently, rubbing his thumb on your skin. “It’s a good thing I’m meant to teach you, isn’t it?”
You chew on your lip, still a bit worried. “It might be bad,” you warn, just in case.
Matty laughs at that. “I promise it won’t. And, hey, if it really, really sucks, we can switch and try again next time.”
Next time rings in your head like holy words. You smile down at him, saccharine sweet. “Alright.” Your hands travel from his waist to his chest. Faint hair peppers it. “What do I do?”
Matty is overexcited, jittery. He paws at your thighs, your waist. You roll your hips into his like he showed you, creating sweet friction that makes you hold back a moan. “Oh, um— Condom first.”
You still above him. “I’m on the pill. And clean. You?”
Matty‘s eyes widen. “Yeah—” He tries to fake nonchalance. “Yes. I got tested recently.” Though his fingers dig into your waist, possessive, he still pants out a, “Are you sure?”
You nod fervently. You’ve never needed someone more than him, never felt raw desire for a man like this. You want all of him, deep inside of you. You can’t wait anymore. You might go totally insane.
You raise on your knees, gripping his cock and lining it up. He groans at the contact, bucking into your hand. “I’m sure,” you breathe. Slowly, you lower yourself on him.
A strike of pure, hot pleasure goes through your body. You whine at the intrusion. Your cunt throbs around him, and it makes him groan too, practically clawing at your skin. You’ve never felt more right, more complete.
Your head falls forward to look at him. You can’t stop those pathetic little pants from your mouth. “What now?” You say, but it’s more a high-pitched plea than a real question.
Matty moans, settling his hands over your hips. He takes a moment to gather his leaking brain, make sense of the two words you asked him. “Just— Just roll your hips like this.”
His hands move you on his cock, a raking motion that makes your clit hit his pelvis. You mewl on top of him, scrunching your face shut. “That’s it,” he encourages, even if you have yet to do anything.
When you finally grind on your own, Matty lets go of you. He scratches down your thighs instead, clenching and unclenching his hands like he’s physically stopping himself from taking charge, puppeteering you.
You giggle a little at this, trying your sloppy rolls, mix-matching the rhythm and sense to figure out what feels best. Ecstasy pools in your belly, pressing against your stomach. You feel loose on your bones.
But it’s still not enough. Tentatively, you rise up your knees, sliding him out of you to crash back down. Pleasure jolts you. You’re electrified. You make a little surprised scream. Then do it again, and again, chasing that pure bliss.
“Does that feel good for you?” You ask, looking at him with a worried little frown. He looks euphoric enough, parting his lips with groans and panting in the hot air. Sweaty and flushed and beautiful.
Matty nods loosely. He’s just as slack as you, just as gone. Good. At least you don’t feel so silly. You speed up your moves, bouncing on his cock. “And this?” You say, but it’s just to tease. The desperate grunt is indication enough.
“I don’t care either way,” he says. “Just use me.” A powerful thrill shoots up your spine. You fuck him harder, faster. You want to ruin him. “Fuck,” he cries. “I need you to come on my cock.”
“I will,” you pant.
Your knees are growing sore, but you persist, bucking on him until your brain drips down your spine. You want him deeper into you, want him buried so far you never forget the shape of him.
Your hand rests on his shoulder and you hold yourself up as you lean into him. Your hips angle differently, hitting a new spot over and over. You roll your eyes.
“Take it,” Matty moans. His hands grab your ass. “You’re so fucking hot.” The praise sings to you. You make a little whine.
The position quickly grows too tiring. You straighten up again, rolling onto his cock. Matty follows after you this time, sitting up. He paws at your bouncing tits.
You hook your arms around his neck and use him as leverage to push yourself up again. Matty twists your nipple as a silent prize. Those breathy pants in your ears make you lose your head.
You bite your lip. Your head falls back, baring your throat. Matty takes the opportunity to kiss there, licking and biting and sucking. Claiming you. Your back shivers. You buck on him faster.
Your eyes shut as pleasure rushes you. It’s all too intense suddenly, feeling him and seeing him. You’re desperate, the end so near you could taste it, yet too gone to properly do anything. Your thrusts are irregular, your hips grow sloppy, and your thighs strain every time you move.
Matty licks off his bruise. He must feel your diminishing stamina because he breathes, “You take my cock so well.” You nod at him, slack and gone. “You’re doing so good, baby. Just a bit more.”
To help, Matty slides a hand between your bodies, rubbing at your swollen clit. You gasp. Your head swims in ecstasy, heavy and off-kilter.
He wraps an arm around your waist, grounding you as he fucks into you, following your movements in tandem. “You were fucking made for me,” he whispers in your neck. Kisses it. “I need you to come on my cock now.” You nod, brainless. “Can you do that? Can you come for me, love?”
“Yes,” you hiss, scrunching your face. You practically strangle his neck with your embrace, using his shoulders as leverage as you buck on him. His finger on your clit doesn’t relent.
“Come for me,” he practically begs. “I need to see you. I need to feel you.” Your hips shudder. Pleasure waves through you, building and building. One hand takes your cheek. “Look at me.”
You snap your eyes open. His dark eyes meet yours. He’s so intense, so fucking desperate. You whine, he swipes your clit, and you come.
Your head falls into his shoulder and you give up, letting go. Ecstasy washes you and you don’t bother even grinding into him. Matty holds you up, fucking into you and working through your orgasm as you shake above him, weightless, boneless. You moan his name even after you’re done, like you couldn’t quite believe it was him.
Matty slows down to a stop, still inside of you. He kisses your shoulder. You laugh, disbelief spinning with the hot bliss. There’s something you want to say, instinctively, but you bite your tongue.
You raise your head finally, coming back into the world. Matty grins at you, proud and fucked out. You frown at him. “You haven’t come.” You gasp at the realization, trying to slide up him even through your screaming, sore thighs.
Matty laughs, pulling you back down on him, stopping you. “It’s okay,” he assures. His eyebrows rise suggestively. “There’s something I want to try anyway.”
You cock your head. “What?”

the fucking construction site next door has been jackhammering w/ those huge excavator-mounted jackhammers for up to 10 hours every day for the last 2 weeks (including saturdays) and it's literally physically harming me. i can feel my blood pressure rising & stress hormones flooding my body every single time they start. the impacts are traveling through the ground (naturally) as well as the air so 1) there's no hiding in the basement, 2) you can feel them even if you use earplugs/ear protectors, 3) they exist in multiple timbres/tones/frequencies, the onsets of which are slightly offset from each other. like a horrible echo.
they also shut off the water with no warning last week. they shut it off again yesterday too tho we had warning this time. i've been barely functioning, in a half-coherent haze any time the jackhammer is going, so i drove away to try to find a quieter place. i was going to go into town but i got like 15 min in that direction and realized i was ? having a migraine? ?delirious? so i turned around and went home and thankfully the hammering had stopped. but i still felt incoherent and dissociative so i took a nap.
and accidentally slept for six fucking hours. which did not help i gotta tell ya.
the weather has been so so nice and i would love to have the windows & doors open to get some fresh air but. there's just the overpowering BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG chkchkchkchkchkchkchk vvvRRRRRRRRRMMMWWRRMRMRMMMRMMVVVVVMMVMMMVMMMRRRRRVVVVVvvvvvvmmm

You’ve been spot on with everything so far, including her jet being tracked like the NORAD Santa tracker, so any guesses for what transpires post Super Bowl?
I said it was pretty obvious, and it was.
Well, we’re entering a transition phase, so I would never say I can guess anything very far in advance. But similarly to how it all became really clear in November where things were going, I feel like I can make a pretty good guess at what I think we’ll see next. The main caveat being that she is unpredictable and there are a million things I can’t know. But I think we have seen that her and his schedules are easy to see and are set in stone, so it makes predicting things easier that it was from say 2019-early 2023. And none of the below is mind blowingly novel. This is exactly what everyone expects to happen:
I think most likely after he takes a week or so✅, he’ll head to her shows in Australia✅. Probably Sydney✅ for a couple of shows. Then he’ll head home to his offseason routine✅, whatever that looks like. He’s gotta go find those abs with his trainer and shoot some commercials etc. Then she’ll be back and I think she’ll join him wherever that is✅ (possibly Florida with his trainer, that idea was already put out into the universe.) Her next tour break will be their first opportunity to really spend a lot of time together while they’re both off✅. So her jet will park where he is and they’ll make occasional appearances there. He will also probably be seen in her spots (NYC, Nash, LA✅.) Then she’s off to Europe and his offseason/preseason work begins in full. I don’t think she has any real time off at all during the Europe leg so she probably won’t come home but I think he’ll head over there for a couple of shows, probably early on✅. If he’s allowed with camp and stuff he may try to make it to a London✅ show, an important market for him to be seen in (for his post football A-list movie star future or whatever it is he has in mind.). But I’m not sure it can be swung. Then she’s off again in time for his early games, but then she’s back on the road again and he’ll probably have a bye week where he can go to a show. And then she’s done with tour just in time for her birthday, the holidays and the road to the playoffs/playoffs and engagement season. So really great timing all around. Then it’ll be time for TS11 full of songs everyone will attribute to him, and joe and maybe a bit of Matty. I’m really looking forward to a song about how Travis is a love that is really something, not the idea of something. And maybe he’ll retire. But that is so far away. Look at what happened unexpectedly in the last year. So no bets here, just stating obvious thinking. And even if all this does happen, there will be other things I can’t predict.
Alternatively, if their goal is to end it sooner, that April to June timeframe is probably the best time. After they’ve spent quiet time together and found they have nothing to talk about and then their busy schedules make it too hard. That gives enough time to make it feel plausible that it wasn’t fake and only going to last until the SB. But I think they’ll give it another season, because it’s working so well and all the timing for her tour lines up super well. And it’s clear that for whatever reason, she’s allergic to being single.
#I have many other thoughts but they’re controversial so I’ll just keep some of the whys to myself#forgot to mention they’ll probably take a tropical vacation together#✅#oh I also forgot that I think there’s a decent chance they’ll go tot he Met Gala. I mentioned it a few eeks ago but thought I’d put it here#also I wrote this the day before TTPD was announced so that changes the TS11 stuff which will now be premiered as all about Toe demise#I gave myself a ✅ for Sydney eve though he only went to one show. the zoo also counts to me#also he smartly spilt up his two shows between two cities to maximize coverage and allow the to fly off together. so smart.#they spent most of their spring off time together in LA while he got his tv deal and probably for some ads and tried to get a movie deal#me and everyone else guessed wrong about how much Matty was in TTPD pre-release#but basically correct that it was about demise of joe Matty and even happy Travis songs so very early in their relationship#he went to London1.0 and Paris both pretty early and high profile stops

why are y’all crying screaming begging while defending taylor swift’s choice of dating matty healy against people who stop supporting her because of this, like damn… it’s okay for people to stop supporting her when they figure out she’s actively dating and supporting a known racist?
like 😭😭
it’s not that crazy, actually. she’s supporting a racist? must mean she doesn’t care a lot about anti-racist activism. must mean she’s not really an ally to people of color. to see her not supporting a marginalized community you are a part of or an ally too might kinda change your opinion of her.
even if you’re not being actively spouting racist bullshit, if you’re fine with others doing it and even condone it, you’ve lost all my respect.

K, L, E!!
YES OH MY GOSH HELLO ANON thank you so much for indulging me and sending questions from the Fanfic Ask Meme!! As always, I LOVE chatting about fic (mine and other peoples!) and I get so excited when people send me these! If anyone wants to send anymore, or reblog it themselves, the list can be found HERE.
K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?
This is a hard question because I feel like all of my fics are pretty angst heavy? I know I published it anonymously, but I think Immoral in a Stranger's Lap was probably one of the most painful, especially because it didn't really have a resolution or a happy ending, the same goes for (Sometimes). It's still in the early stages of outlining, (and I'm writing it because I am firmly in the we need more mpreg in this fandom camp) but the Teen Dad Fictional!Matty fic is also shaping up to be pretty angsty - it's looking like it's going to be a split narrative alternating between 16 year old Fictional!Matty dealing with teen pregnancy and present day thirty something year old Fictional!Matty trying to get pregnant on purpose and struggling to do so which I know deals with a lot of really heavy and painful topics.
L: What’s the weirdest AU you’ve ever come up with?
I feel like all of them 😂 But I guess, since it's not really popular in this fandom I'm going to say omegaverse even though it was very common in my other fandom experiences.
E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?
I'm choosing to talk about Small Bump because I was working on Make Way for Ducklings earlier and clearly have mpreg on the mind. If I were to writing a sequel to that one, it would be dealing with Fictional!Matty's postpartum depression.
Thank you so much for sending these in! Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to send this ask, and for your continued support! I'm really grateful for the people who have not only taken the time to read my fics, but who have also taken the time to engage with me! I really appreciate you! I hope your Wednesday is going well and that you have a great rest of your week!
❤️Ally
#allylikethecat#ask ally#anon ask#keep it kind#fanfiction#matty fic#gatty#fanfic#make way for ducklings#mpreg#small bump#(Sometimes)#Omegaverse#On a Friday#Omega verse#Immoral in a stranger's lap#I feel like i just brought up all of my controversial fics and fic ideas and i apologize for that#im just having a lot of feelings about art at the moment#also fun fact ive published a few fics anonymously (guess which ones lol) and some of them i've included on my fics page#on my tumblr#also i guess if we were really talking sequels it would the the third and final part of the face down / in the dirt situation#but i really hesitate to talk about that one or post the third part#because it got some backlash#and i feel awful that i caused hurt and distress with those fics#its a very conflicting feeling because i also dont think we should censor our art and that people are responsible for the content#they consume and that if they are uncomfortable they should remove themselves from that piece of work#but idk its a complicated issue and i feel a lot of guilt#but then its also like why is someone elses experience more valid than my own?#anyway I hope those people are in a better place now and i am sending them lots of love#i hope i didnt get get myself cancelled with this one

Would you ever do a reading on Nicki Minaj? I just can’t believe she’s married to that man like what goes on through her head? And the way she treats other women in the industry, the men she chooses to collab with. It’s um. Definitely a choice…
Yeah, I actually wanted to do some kind of interview style reading like I did for Matty Healy for her! If you have any specific questions send them my way!
#answered#I think it’s intersting to see what such controversial figures think of their actions/scandals and the public’s response#like it was kinda shocking but a bit funny that matty genuinely just thinks everyone else is stupid and a sheep for the most part lol

Nick: Like, if you're somebody that heard that anecdote you're like, 'I can't believe he watches that website', it's not like… if you know what that website is, it's because you were looking at it Adam: It also probably wasn't from the website, it was probably from xvideos or something Nick: I've never heard of that website in my life Adam: I hadn't heard… I thought it was funny because of the alliteration, like G-G Nick: I thought it was a name you made up to… Adam: I don't even know if he was actually watching that porn, I think he was just kind of using that name, but… you know, it's out of our hands now
May 16, 2023: Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen clarify that they don't actually know what porn Matty was watching when he was walked in on. (source)

ok the thought i woke up with is i think its very interesting that people conflate being a gay ally with being a trans ally,,,, just cause u fight for people of the same sex to get married does not mean u get to claim lgbtq+ ally with your entire chest and in fact i think a lot of gay allies are actively transphobic, whether knowingly or not
#and i have been thinking abt this more and more w the anti trans legislation happening#and with taylor dating matty#every single time someone defends taylor’s dating choice#with examples of things shes done to prove shes not harmful#have been things that benefit her specifically as a woman#or arguably one of the like least controversial takes u can have as a liberal#which is that gay and lesbians should be able to like exist lol#and matty has not said homophobic things#but he has said transphobic things#and its not actually that surprising to me that taylor doesnt knkw the different#or doesnt care

Taylor Swift Here We Go Again......
Taylor Swift once again finds herself mixed in controversy and drama. All of which on most part is unnecessary, however when people find something to use against someone they don’t particularly like they’ll obviously use it and turn it into a trend. It always seems to occur when she’s at a career high, as her latest album ‘Midnights’ broke records and her current tour performing really well. It all kicked off near the start of the Eras tour when people were questions Taylor for not speaking up or showing some sort of solidarity with the LGBT community during any of her shows. They started comparing her to Lizzo who waved the flag that represents the community and Beyoncé who’s show revolves around queer culture. Though their concern for the lack of activism didn’t necessarily stem from genuine desire for her to use her platform, it was more of an attempt to turn activism into a competition. A way for them to say that such and such are better than her. It was also a thing for those that dislike her to use as a reason to propagate their distaste, without real care for the issue itself.
Then Matty Healy the frontman of the band The 1975 suddenly found his way into Taylor’s life, though they’ve supposedly been friends for a long time. She’d not to long ago appeared at one of the bands shows and then Matty showed up to her tour. Which then led to many assuming the two were now in a relationship. The two were then spotted out and about, holding hands and from that people took it as confirmation that they were now together. With Jack Antonoff being the one that set the two up, he also happened to be with them at the time. This then led to a new wave of people targeting Taylor, to a point where it became a trend on TikTok that everyone wanted a part of. Especially seeing as it was drawing a lot of content engagement. On most part it was an opportunity taken by those that hate her to use against her. That somehow she was responsible for his past doings. Where was this outrage, prior to the two dating. Hardly anyone was speaking up to try and cancel Matty for his shortcomings. However Taylor should be cancelled as she’s dating him. Even then it was all about holding Taylor accountable, and never a mention of wanting the same for Matty. Yes of course people have the right to be hurt by the stuff that he has said, but was that truly the case for the majority coming out in full swing against Taylor. Do we ever truly know the intent of someone, who knows maybe she felt that he’d changed. Are we not giving people the benefit of the doubt anymore, that maybe they could have grown from the people they once were. On top of that you’d expect most of those upset about Taylor associating with him, being her fans. Which wasn’t the case, and the fans were actually being guilt tripped into agreeing with the stance of her critics.
Matty had partaken in a podcast where he laughed at the hosts comments about Ice Spice. Which was another thing that was being mentioned now that he was attached to Taylor (prior to that the moment didn’t create much of a conversation at the time of its occurrence). Soon after it was announced that Taylor was releasing a remix of her song ‘Karma’ and that it would be featuring Ice Spice. This was taken by those that were having a go at her as damage control. A PR stunt to somehow cover up all that was happening. Later on it was revealed that it was in the works long before and people still found it difficult to accept, because they so desperately wanted to believe that it was what they thought it was. Soon after it was reported that the two had broken up and that they were never truly a couple, but just hanging out. Which then led to many believing that they were the ones that pushed Taylor into cutting things off with Matty Healy, as though their words hold weight enough to do such a thing. There are many examples of others who are associated with partners or spouse who have controversial pasts, yet that hasn’t resulted in this magnitude of a response.
Rina Sawayama during a recent live performance called Matty Healy out, and part of that included her mentioning that he had a percentage ownership over her masters. To no surprise the usual suspects came running to use that as an excuse to point their fingers at Taylor. Rina’s and Taylor’s situations are very different, if those that are always so loud bother to do their due diligence they’d notice that. However the desperate pursuit of the downfall of someone they don’t like, hinders their ability to comprehend and apply logical analysis to what they are speaking on. They’ll continue to twist and exaggerate things in regards to her in order to try and make her a villain. Then it was revealed that Taylor had turned down Meghan Markle’s invite to appear on her podcast. Another thing for them to throw at her, as though she hasn’t been extremely busy and thus didn’t have the time to do much outside of her current commitments.
This all reignited the entire conversation in regards to Taylor’s use of her platform when it comes to activism. That she hardly ever speaks up and when she does it is only when it benefits herself. Yes she’s not been someone who’s made social media posts to address political issues, though she’s been vocal when it comes to elections. Of course we’d love to see people who have a big reach to use their voices to speak up for those who don’t have the ability to or require support. However that should be up to them, that they shouldn’t be coerced into doing so or do so just for the sake of pleasing people. Her documentary become part of the conversation where people were claiming that it was all about speaking up and using her platform, when that was only a small part of the film. This exaggerated claim was in order to push their agenda and heighten the moment. If they’d paid attention, her team weren’t exactly happy with her wanting to do so and they most definitely still play a role in preventing her from doing so.
She then during one of her shows gave a short speech in which she said that her shows were a safe space for everyone in particular the LGBT community. She prompted people to take an active role in voting during elections and to research candidates in order to see who best to vote for. As expected many were still not happy and complained that she didn’t say enough or that she wasn’t as direct as she should have been. They seemed to want her to spoon feed them on who exactly to vote for. At the end of the day she can’t please everyone and it isn’t her job to do so either.
Her fans often come under attack during these times, as the haters seem to think that the fans should flock in agreement of their critique. Then it turns into the usual of labelling all her fans as ‘white’, ‘republicans’, ‘racists’ and ‘nazis’. With people making it a competition to see who can spot a person of colour in the audience, as though POCs are props. Yes she may have fans that are republicans, and they should know that those they support have fans from that group as well. She started out as a country artist and that genre is one that has a huge following that consists of republicans. Are her fans ‘racists’, sadly there is a bunch of them who are and need educating. That in moments where they are defending her, they resort to racist remarks towards those they are responding to. Though she has fans consisting of various backgrounds and races, her fanbase in the USA is predominantly white. However its odd that people use that as a dig at Taylor, when it isn’t what they see it as. Oft times people of colour are shamed for liking her, and thus you seem to find many not publicly showcasing their liking for her or her music.
It all on most part points to the fact that many feel threatened by her success that they are so desperate to see her fall. There were many in the comments under videos that were calling for Taylor to be cancelled saying how the outpour of people speaking against her brought them joy. That this was a moment they were longing for. It is rather sad that people find joy in someones downfall, that they root for those they dislike to fail. As though she’s done something bad to them. They also used the situations to call Taylor ‘mediocre’ and ‘talentless’. A recent trend seems to be the labelling of her music as ‘white people music’, all of which seems like an attempt at downplaying her talent. Which isn’t the diss they think it is. Her music is universal and one that resonates with everyone, as her focal points are oft those that we all experience. Then again they’ve never actually listened to her discography and make fleeting statements in regards to it. Which we’ve always heard from those that don’t like her. Its okay for you to not be a fan of someones or not like the music they make. However its unfair to wrongly discredit someones talent.
If people spent the same amount of energy they did on trying to ‘call her out’ on issues that are real and need discussing, we’d likely see positive change. However people waste it on things that are pointless and of no value. The level of outrage and desire for change online is never reflected in times when taking a stand is necessary, such as turning up to vote. A lot of talk, but very little action. It makes you wonder how many people are genuine in their claim of activism.

the only song i really know in this album is better than revenge and unpopular opinion i think but i dig the lyric change
#it's a good lyric and isn't it a good thing we're moving past the slutshaming lmao#(mind you the whole VIBE of this song is kinda slutshaming but at the very least the lyric is changed from 'look at the whore')#that being said i agree that the original song has a more relatable angry vibe to it BUT#i'm not expert BUT is the whole point of taylor's version not that she gets to release these things with a more mature mindset#like it sounds like a woman singing ab something that happened ages ago which is what it is so#i think she needs this considering the matty healy situation#(not a swiftie but y'know. i have heard and liked some songs and seen the controversy on tiktok.)

I agree with everything you said often on the internet people jump to call others all kinds of -ists and -phobes and I’m not saying that these people necessarily aren’t those things but there’s a difference between someone who truly believes these oppressive and harmful things and genuinely has hatred for minorities vs someone who might just be ignorant/ doesn’t really think. On top of that people will bring things from 10 years ago and say that someone is currently that -ist or phobe and it’s like are they? Can’t people change? Not saying you have to forgive everyone and I definitely wasn’t running around saying slurs or anything 10 years ago but, people can change I’m more progressive and more educated about things than I was 10 years ago yknow? I probably said some ignorant shit back then but I wasn’t posting it on the internet which was my saving grace idk like you said things are more of spectrum and have more nuance than the internet allows for.
yeah like if matty doesn't want to be called a n*zi he probably shouldn't be throwin' the arm up like that but also if you see the people he surrounds himself with you can infer he's probs not about to go full HH right wing militia. except some of the discourse makes it sound like he is???? and it's like why are we having such rapid escalations now?
also YES like one time five-ish years ago my bf accidentally misgendered someone and like a group of people unloaded the chopper on him glrjageijajhh. like yes he was defs using the wrong pronouns and should have been corrected but it rapidly went from 'tolerance and acceptance 😌' to 'ah yes another hetero transphobe.' not that everyone needs to be on their 'assume positive intent' bullshit 24/7 but SO much of this n*zi-hunt shit could be avoided if people took a moment to examine the entire situation before labeling someone. like besties im sorry but if we're gonna put matty healy, nick fuentes, and hitler on the same level then we might have a problem
(also like entirely unrelated but i dont think kanye is truly on that level either and instead espouses that shit because he is in a mental health crisis BUT again i do not know these people so maybe he really is!!!! idk!!!!!) (i do think kanye is stupid and easily influenced and genuinely holds right-wing beliefs tho just to clear that up)
society doesn't have a 'bad things' spectrum anymore (if it even ever did)!!!
#its weird bc people are like 'excuse so and so's actions bc they're on the autism spectrum'#and we all agree that sexuality is a spectrum#and we have a political spectrum#but when it comes to social ideologies or controversies then suddenly it's like.....no time for nuance!!!!#and i completely understand this because when someone hurts my feelings or does something i dont like#i want REVENGE glajgjeiaj like no time to factor in their feelings or experiences get them out NOWWW#but in actuality its like....okay this person did this so what is the rational response#like my mom literally went to a segregated high school#like literally had an active klan chapter in her area#and im supposed to be like yes mom i know how you feel bc matty healy made an ice spice joke on red scare#im not tryna get ate up by my own mama!!!!#poddyrants#matty healy#taylor swift
