One Must Imagine Sysiphus Happy <3

Kind of a continuation of this post, I just like drawing the blorbo rehabilitating into life. Does he like music canonically? Dunno. BUT they do like acting, so... Close enough?

The last song that was written, the last lyrics that were written was (for) the song “Hooked.” It starts off with the line, “I’ve got the fear / I’ve got the human fear.” And I realize that so many of the songs had an underlying theme of fear to them. But not necessarily succumbing to fear, but more like overcoming fear. “The Doctor” is about the fear of leaving an institution, and “Bar Lonely” is the fear of leaving a relationship. “Night or Day” is the fear of committing to a relationship. But fear is fascinating because fear is universal. We all experience fear. We all experience the same fears. But how we respond to it is individual. And that’s how we find who we are, our personalities. And overcoming fear feels good. That’s why we watch horror films or ride rollercoasters — because you overcome fear and then feel very alive for having done so.

I know it’s been talked about ad nauseam, but I think one of the things that got lost in the discourse about TTPD and the muses and whatnot is how one of, if not the core trigger points of the album is the yearning for commitment and perhaps even more poignantly, motherhood.

The reason she was so susceptible to falling for the “conman’s get love quick schemes” is because she was grieving that imagined life with the person she had long assumed would be the one to give her that. What has been beyond clear in several albums, let alone interviews etc, is that those plans for building a family were very much real and top of mind for years, and she kept holding on and shifting her world in service of making that happen. And when whatever happened happened that pulled that rug out from under her, it left her bereft not just for the relationship that had once been her world but also the imagined family she had been hoping for and sticking out the hard times for.

And that’s likely why she was swayed by and trusting of the promises of someone who knew her history and knew how unmooring that loss was to her. It may have been partially about the person himself or lust or whatever, but the core issue was the pain of giving up the dream, and sublimating that dream into this new opportunity in front of her, because she was so desperate to hold onto the last scraps of that imagined life she wanted so badly. (And I don’t mean desperate as in pathetic or negative, I mean as in fighting within the last ounce of energy and hope she had.) It wasn’t rational and it wasn’t love, it was grief, not just for a relationship but even more so for the family it represented.

So to me the core issue of TTPD isn’t just the Joe vs. Matty or whoever of it all: it’s Taylor and her yearning. She wanted a family badly and a life that was theirs and was processing losing that in all kinds of ways. It’s all over the album in overt and subtle lyrics. It may not have been grieving a literal death but I’d bet it felt pretty darn close.

And I’d also bet that’s why we’re seeing… what we’re seeing now.

(I have so many more thoughts about womanhood and motherhood on TTPD but that is another post being worked on piecemeal in my drafts… this is just a little Saturday morning post-zoomies reflection)

Dance 'Til You Stop (feat. Tom Cardy) - NSP

The introvert's anthem.

Dance 'til you stop,

'Til you wanna go home.

This party is great, but it's 7:08

And I've just gotta go, go, go.

It's Saturday night,

I just wanna have fun.

So many beautiful people,

And I didn't talk to a single one.

Oh, thank God, a cat!

Beetlejuice - Banana Boat Song 🍌🪩

[yumiiyummech]

This is definitely not a finished product by any means but this is what I would call (for now) A PRINCESS's PLAYROOM.

ofc based on the idea that WENDY is referred to as a princess without a castle in HEADPACE. This song has no background ambience, signifying that this song is eerily heard alone. The playroom is empty all except for a music box.

Honestly no music scratches my brain perfectly like will wood music does to the point that I’m almost scared I ruined all other music because none of it seems to do it for me quite as well lmao
