You know, it's rather interesting to me that Taylor Swift's parasocial relationship with her fans is honestly more akin to a YouTuber than a writer's. When I scroll through her tag on tumblr/Twitter, it's far more regarding the connection to her personal life/relationship developments than the actual metaphors/fictional story she might be telling. Everything comes back to how her songs reflect back on her relationships with Joe/Matty/Travis/Jake/insert ex-boyfriend here. And what fascinates me about it is that even though she complains about it, she leans into that very perception because it strengthens the parasocial bond.
The marketing for TTPD so clearly being about Joe Alwyn and the songs to Matty Healy. The marketing/video for Red TV so CLEARLY being about Jake Gyllenhaal, with so many of the new lines in All Too Well specifically being digs at him (I'll get older but your lovers stay my age, casting an actor that looks like him for the video, specific lines in I Bet You Think About Me). The fact that songs like Getaway Car and Bejeweled and Gorgeous and London Boy and Lavender Haze being picked apart at time of release and long after for signs of relationships crumbling. The way she uses surprise songs in relation to her relationship development with Joe/Matty/Travis. The damn TTPD "stages of grief" playlists where she deliberately undid/changed the meanings of old songs just to keep her audience speculating on her love life.
It's not sexist to point out that her wielding her love life is a marketing tool and that the strongest connection to her audience isn't the strength of her writing/the composition of her music- it's her deliberate crafting of a connection between her music and her personal life, leaving the audience invested in her music as an extension of Taylor the Person/Girlfriend rather than Taylor the Artist.
#taylor swift#anti taylor swift#to an extent#i honestly just view this as an analysis of her marketing strategy#like hates off to her for being the best possible microcosm of parasocial capitalism#girlie really knew how to harness the teen girl market and good for her billionaire self#she knows how to exploit the very tabloid culture that once strangled her#how to become the tabloid itself#and wield that against ex-boyfriends too but you didn’t hear that from me#joe alwyn#matty healy#travis kelce#taylor swift critical#ttpd#red tv#i bet you think about me#getaway car#bejeweled#gorgeous#london boy#lavender haze

I love the fact that the Silvermane Guards are essentially just a very devoted "We Love Gepard Landau" fanclub, and I desperately need for all of them to get into ship wars about it behind their Captain's back. The soldiers are all split into several factions:
Some of them ship him with Sampo 🛡💣 (enemies to lovers/hateship enjoyers; this does not necessarily mean they like Sampo- in fact it's more like most of them want to sic their Captain on him skzjsmdm)
Some of them ship him with Bronya 👑🛡 (knight and princess trope enjoyers and also a sorta-kinda "that is our mom and dad" type of deal; this faction gets riled up and ridiculously hypes Gepard up to Bronya every time she comes down to the frontlines mskdkxmd)
Some of them ship him with the trailblazer 🛡💫 (the smallest and newest faction, but steadily gaining!)
Some of them ship him with Pela ❄🛡 (workplace romance enjoyers; Gepard once charged out into the Fragmentum alone to save Pela from an expedition gone horribly wrong, and when this faction saw Gepard carrying Pela back princess style they threw a whole party)
Some of them ship him with Dunn 🛡🗡 (also workplace romance; Dunn is very flattered by this because yeah wrong Landau, but wow, the troops really think he's good enough to woo the Captain, what an honor)
And some of them ship themselves with the Captain 🛡❤ (yumejoshi enjoyers; this faction throws a massive group effort every Valentine's Day and are also all very supportive of each other)
The final faction is an odd one, because they're defined not by who they ship their beloved Captain Gepard with, but rather by who they don't ship him with. Their name is generally shortened to the A.B.S. Group- Anybody BUT Sampo 🚫💣 DKSZJJSMSOZ
#honkai star rail#gepard landau#hsr gepard#gepo#sampard#bronpard#gepela#gepdunn#sampo koski#bronya rand#pelageya sergeyevna#dunn#I'm so happy Hoyo gave us TWO knight and princess ships with bronseele and bronpard. two cakes!!#and I actually do love bronpard but I think it'd be hilarious if that faction dissolved the second they saw bronseele together nskzjskdk#same with the gepela faction and pelynx haha#every time Bronya comes down to the frontlines she tends to gravitate towards Gepard and the bronpard faction kicks into high gear skzjkske#they ask Gepard to show them proper form with a weapon or to tell some of his exploits. anything to make him look cool in front of Bronya.#'Madame Supreme Guardian we heard Captain Gepard took down a direwolf THIS big-' XD#I don't even ship Gepard and Dunn but I do think it's really sweet how Gepard talks about him-#-and how grateful he is that the trailblazer didn't seriously injure him during the main quest.#I think that if they had then Gepard would not be NEARLY as kind or forgiving of them. Dunn is one of his. he's protective of all of his me#the gepo/sampard and ABS group are the ones most at war with each other#every time Gepard gets the soldiers to split into teams it gets vicious XD#like I need some red vs blue shenanigans with the Guards you feel me. i need them to play capture the flag and get way too into it amsjmsks#pela has taken writing commissions for every ship under disguise- including gepela so she wouldn't seem suspicious#someone once claimed she wrote Pela way ooc and demanded a refund at the last second and Pela nearly strangled them HSKKZSNKSKD#hsr

Daniel don’t take the ambassador role let the sponsors and Red Bull tear themselves apart. Let them lose money because of you. Go dirt bike and drink beer with your mates on your farm and watch them burn

As much as some of the stuff in Realms lore is messed up or has some very clear very outdated views on shit, the way they wrote evil cults and their motivations is actually pretty nice nd I'll give em that.
Like we've got Shar, lady of loss, who appeals to all those people who experienced something unimaginable and want to forget that experience.
Bane, a self made guy, who appeals to all those who came to resent the status quo nd were made to feel powerless, who's cult establishes the idea that everyone can become the game master and rise as long as they're dedicated enough but also gives excuses to the already powerful for abusing their power.
Myrkul who appeals to people in a similar way Shar does, but he has and grants the ability to reverse the loss. Reunite with those you lost before you arrive in the afterlife yourself. Don't fear death because your life will continue the same way it was before even if you die. Basically my guy offers a solution to the whole being afraid of death bit
But the most fucked up one is arguably Bhaal, who targets a very spefic group of people that deem life to be hopeless and death to be the better choice, and introduces them to the idea that this warped mindset is a fact and by killing someone you show them mercy and you can become their hero.
Like these are definitely not the healthiest claims those cults make, and any 'normal' individual would look at u like u have issues if you presented these ideas to them. Still, for a (not very) small group of people, these thoughts validate them in their feelings and struggles and offer a twisted understanding. And that is why recruitment works, and these definitely not-so-nice cults manage to survive and thrive at times. Because they very purposefully target individuals that could be easily manipulated if offered nothing more than some sort of understanding or recognition, and then they built on that. Very much like real life cults did and do in order to establish themselves and gain following.
Like very much fucked up but I can see very well why these cults work, why people join them and how they manage to manipulate their followers into blind loyalty and going above and beyond. The gods they serve and their lil libraries nd stuff may be dorky at times but the cults themselves are nothing besides absolutely terrifying. 11/10 no notes.
#also reasons why the chosen joined their cults nd stuck around#Ketherics refusal to acccept isobels death#gortashs desire for power#despite being born utterly powerless nd at the bottom of the barrel#durge and orins messed up views on death and their bodies#aka meatsacks or bloodsacks how theyre usually refered to#sharts attack as a kid#the one bhaalist who states they never had meat b4 durge came along#these cults r just exploiting people in horrible situations#the tragic background might make the villains sympathetic#but more importantly serves as reason why they are where they are#which is ironic esp for durge nd gort#also sarevok doing what hes doing cuz of the cult#genuinely the cults themselves r scary as fuck if u think abt it#but not in a fantasy way#rather in a 'this couldve happed to me/someone i know' way#real life horror to some degree#i hate them#love them#cw cults#bg3#enver gortash#bg3 durge#bg3 ketheric#orin the red#forgotten realms#also yes im procrastinating shhhhhhhhhh

casually reminding people to watch the way they speak about poor uneducated working class folks because a lot of you fall off into racism and classism and elitism and that is not very left of you
#i've seen more of it on twitter than anymore else but it's always nice to put it here too#poor uneducated working class people are the backbone of this country#continuously taken advantage of and exploited by BOTH parties#and many of you entice the divide more and more by the way you talk#the south isn't red it's just suppressed--don't forget that!#amanda talks

Is an RB podium bad for F1?
#how would it not be a ‘genuine’ podium simply because they’re taking parts off Red Bull that is well within the regulations???#I can’t believe they’re going to make me deep throat a corporation on main like that all season long#a backmarker gets some financial backing and decides to exploit some symbiosis within legal boundaries of the sport#and suddenly it’s a problem?#and not to make this about Daniel but would this have gotten this much attention if it would have been any other driver pairings at RB?#daniel ricciardo

Imagine being Willis or Cathrine Todd, working for the 1% your whole life in order to create stability for your child while struggling yourself, only for said kid to be adopted by the 1% who influences YOUR child into wearing scaled shorts and fight crime at night while risking his life. And his said life later gets BRUTALLY taken by the actions of his new father, and in retaliation his new 1% father takes the clothes he died in, puts them up on display like it belongs in a museum, and uses his life as a cautionary tale.
#and that’s just the beginning#personally I would’ve found a way to murder Bruce Wayne in cold blood but that’s just me#I love Jason and Bruce but the class difference between them makes me physically sick#literal exploitation#dc#dc comics#jason todd#red hood#anti batman#anti bruce wayne#bruce wayne critical#willis todd#the only reason I wouldn’t want Jason as POC is bc I wouldn’t be able to justify Bruces actions against him#stereotyping your kid as a criminal and then replacing him with a white rich kid#is crazy work as a Billionaire

'For the past hundred years, every seller in the tear gas business has spent thousands—if not millions—in legal settlements. They have watched as their products are used to kill, maim, and torture people around the world. They have bought new houses, seen their children off to school, perhaps spent $150,000 at a Christie’s auction to acquire historic souvenirs. Investigating the financial lives of the elite is crucial for understanding how the security industry operates.
Riot control is, and always has been, in the business of protecting the wealth of a tiny minority.'
— Anna Feigenbaum, Tear Gas: From the Battlefields of WWI to the Streets of Today

i need to get crazier about zamdoons i think
#mine.txt#lsshipping#zamdoons#what if you jokingly dared the most suicidal guy on the server to kill himself only to immediately regret it when he immediately agreed#so you try to convince him to stop but it didnt work but it lead to the two of you discovering a heart dupe exploit#which lead to your quest for immortality which little did you know#would eventually led to you being at odds with that same guy over and over again#which culminated in you beheading him in a ritualistic display of an execution for all the server to see#but what if the man you killed; your longtime enemy#just looked so beautiful in the light that you couldnt help but give his beaheaded head a kiss#what if later on that same man gave you the will to fight back after you ran away from the fight#after being betrayed by ppl who you thought were your allies#and offered you a place on a team that you sought hard to destroy at first#anyways i hope they interact more its always so fun when they do#i esp loved when red managed to scam zam when he was making his deals that was so funny#and i was hoping that would lead to more interactions but none of the deals ever went anywhere lmao but its okay i forgive them
