[inmyheaddd]

meet me in the afterglow - averyjameson

a/n: this may be my fav averyjameson fic i’ve written 😕 wc: 1.7k warnings: swearing, our fav parents fighting 💔, angst but v fluffy ending i promise!! masterlist

avery sat in her room alone, reading a book to keep herself busy, but she wasn’t actually taking in a single word. 

she usually enjoyed the coldness of her room, but now it was just a bleak reminder that the one person who always radiated warmth and sent jolts through her with his touch wasn’t there with her.

and the worst part, was that it was her fault.

“what do you want me to do, heiress? act like i have it all figured out?” jameson’s voice grew louder, “well i don’t, i can’t just—”

“—just what?” she shot back, “jameson, i never asked you to act or pretend. i don’t need perfect, i don’t even want it. i need real.” her volume began to match his, even though she hated fighting with all her being. 

the moments from last night played on repeat in her mind like a broken record player she couldn’t stop. she chewed on her bottom lip, and before she knew it, her eyes began to sting. 

she wondered what jameson was doing now —drinking? driving at speeds far too high? blacked out? with his brothers? feeling nothing? feeling everything? whatever, she didn’t care. she didn’t care. 

“i need you to stop acting like nothing matters every time things get hard!”

“oh, so staying silent how you do is any better? fuck, avery, i hate to break it to you, but this is the “real” me. as real as it fucking gets.” he said through a force chuckle, letting go of the nickname and using her name instead. “if thats too much for you, or— or, or not enough for you, maybe you should just walk away.“ 

without realizing, another tear fell onto the page on her book, and it was like the boiling point for her. 

slamming the book shut and chucking it across her room, her hands came to cover her face as she sobbed, and she brought her knees up to her chest. 

she was muffling her sobs like she’d gotten so used to doing when she was growing up, so no one would hear her, but there was no one there to hear her now anyway. 

he took a step back, running a hand through his hair frustratedly as avery blinked back angry tears. “jameson, don’t even say that to me.” her voice quivered, but she wouldn’t let a tear drop. “don’t you dare look for the easy way out. you’re a hawthorne, aren’t you? the easiest answer is never the right one — you’re the one that told me that.” 

she trudged her way out of her room to the kitchen, after angrily wiping at her tears and staring at her reflection for far too long. 

she revised over all the things she would say to jameson when she saw him again, how sorry she was, how she never meant any of it, how she was so out of her mind.

jameson laughed bitterly, shaking his head. “avery, none of this is easy." his eyes met hers, his voice colder than she’d ever heard it. “you want someone i can’t be. you want a version of me that doesn’t exist. i can’t change myself no matter how hard i try, and believe me — i have.”

her throat began to tighten as she struggled to keep her composure. “jameson, no. i want you—whatever flaws you think you have and all.” she exclaimed, the next part coming out much quieter than she intended. “but you…” she trailed off, “you don’t even trust me with all of that. why can’t you understand that i love you for who you are? i want to work for us. i know we aren’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t something worth trying for.” 

“heiress,” he paused, “trying isn’t working anymore. down the line we’ll both be miserable and you’ll say nothing until we have one of these bursting screaming matches like this again. you don’t deserve it. it’s not worth it.”

it’s not worth it. they weren’t worth it. she wasn’t worth it.

avery swirled the glass of water she filled up as she leaned against the counter, dim low lighting filling the empty kitchen. the freezing water made her feel as cold on the inside as she was outside. 

she finished her glass and made her way out of the kitchen, making a turn to get to the stairs, only to stop in her tracks and stagger back. 

her eyes met familiar green ones with slight bags under them, and an unruly bed of hair that usually looked a little tidier. 

avery was at a loss for words, jameson hawthorne, standing infront of her, giving up because things got too hard?

she scoffed, but she sounded more dejected than she did angry. “fine then. don’t try anymore.” she swallowed, taking in the way jameson’s brows softened and a flash of something passed through his eyes, though she couldn’t quite place it. regret? anger? satisfaction? 

she let her eyes do the talking for a moment before speaking. “you are the most selfish person i’ve ever met.” she added with purpose, every word like a dagger to him. she didn’t wait for anything he had to say, turning on her heels with one last look and walking out of the room. 

jameson called out for her, but she kept walking. her heart beat faster than it ever had before and it was like every inch of her body wanted to turn around and collapse in his arms. 

—to apologize for everything she did and didn’t do, to look into his eyes and see that glitter of love in them, for him to kiss the tears off of her and simply be there.

unfortunately for avery kylie grambs, she didn’t always get what she wanted, and she kept walking forwards. 

avery felt like she had the wind knocked out of her as jameson stood infront of her, breathing heavily as he looked equally as surprised to have found her.

every rehearsed line and practiced speech she had left her mind in that moment. the only thing that rang through it was his name. “jameson,” she said, almost whispering. 

“heiress, wait.” he said, reaching an arm out to stop her leaving— he couldn’t let her go. she wasn’t going to anyway, she felt frozen in place. she also didn’t want to leave.

“i, i don’t know what to say, jameson, i’m so sorry.” she said with a light shake of her head, “i was so out of line last night, and i shouldn’t have—“

he cut her off, “no, avery, let me just say this, please.” he said with pleading eyes. “i think i should be institutionalized with the way i felt like i’ve lost my mind without you. i know i lost my mind last night, that’s for sure.” 

he chuckled nervously, and avery knew jameson hawthorne never got nervous. “avery, you are worth every single thing on this goddamn planet— in the whole universe. i don’t think i could begin to conceptualize a life without you in it. what i said last night? i lied.“ 

he took a deep, shuddering breath in. “i said i couldn’t change for you, but i know that’s not true, because i have— before my own eyes. every waking day i spend with you makes me want to become better, for you, heiress.” 

avery felt her eyes begin to prick with tears once again, but she didn’t feel a single drop of hurt in her body now. “i’ve never felt so deeply devoted and in love with anything in my life before, and that scares me. it scares me in a way nothing has before because i know it’s so real. but im not letting my fears get in the way, not anymore.” 

jameson’s chest heaved as he looked down at avery, “heiress. you don’t have to say anything.” he said upon seeing her glossy eyes.

there was nothing she could say anyway to express the complete enamored feeling she felt when she looked at him, to express how much she loved him. 

she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, as his arms wrapped around her middle like if he held any looser she would disappear, his head dropping down to her neck.

“i’m so sorry,” avery sobbed into his shoulder, “i love you so much. i’m so in love with you. i couldn’t ever imagine losing what we have.” 

“you won’t ever have to, heiress. i’m staying forever.” he mumbled, as one of his hands came to run through her hair. when she didn’t respond, and he heard her muffled hiccups, he spoke once again. “heiress,” he he lifted his head, his voice low and almost musical. “don’t get all sappy on me now, i much prefer that smile of yours.” 

she sniffled as she let out a little laugh, pulling back from the hug and wiping away at her tears. “shut up.” 

jameson’s smile only grew at the sound of her laugh, and her now slightly red eyes met his. her smile faded for a second before she spoke again, remembering the events that had just happened the day before. 

“jameson, i— you have no idea how sorry i am.” her brows slightly furrowed as she shook her head, echoing her words for earlier.  

he chuckled, reaching his hands out to grab hers, “yeah? i think if you repeat it one more time, i’ll have a pretty good idea.” 

“stop it,” she laughed, “im being serious.” 

“so am i. you don’t have to apologize.” 

“i do, though. and i’m sorry,” 

“if you say you’re sorry once more, i may have to consider bringing you to rehab for people pleasers.” 

“jameson,” avery breathed out through a chuckle, “i just wanted you to know.”

“heiress, i know.” he nodded with a small grin as he brought her closer, and she let go of his hands and brought them to his chest. 

his eyes flickered over her whole face, frequenting back to her lips and eyes, and there was that glitter of love in his that she loved so much.  

“can i kiss you now?” he mumbled.

“you don’t even have to ask.” her voice was barely audible in the small space between them.

he hummed in disagreement as he leaned in, his lips barely touching hers. the mere act made avery feel like she was buzzing alive as her breath caught in her throat. it would never get old.

“i like hearing you want me, like how i want you.” he whispered against her lips, before finally pressing a kiss to them, and they quickly found their rhythm against eachother. 

his hands moved to cradle her face, like he needed her as close to him as humanly possible, his brows knotting deeply as he kissed her.

jameson pulled back ever so slightly, his forehead resting against hers as they both caught their breath. 

his thumb brushed gently across her cheek as he looked at her, his heart leaping at the sight of the her smile.

"see," he murmured, his voice soft, "much better than the sappy stuff."

avery let out a small laugh, feeling light on her toes. she looked into his eyes, feeling the love pouring out of them. “everything is better with you.”

Hello darling 😘 I was just reading your fiction with scrabia and Ramadan and I was wondering if you could do one with leona since he's my fav

Hi!

Okay so I don't actually take requests but I saw this and was like 'you know what - it's Ramadan, I'm fasting, let's do this' (also Leona is one of my favs as well 💛) so here, enjoy:

Celebrating Ramadan With Leona

I write reader as female

Masterlist

Now when it comes to you, Leona’s already a pretty respectful person/lion and during Ramadan that gets amped up

He has already ordered the entirety of Savanaclaw to treat you with respect and to consider you as one of the higher ups in the food chain but during the fasting period he has the entire dorm at your beck and call, making sure that you don’t have to lift a finger.

Your bag is carried, your books are carried, at one point these adorable buff himbos thought it would be a good idea to just place you on a cushioned chair and carry you like that - which you were quick to shoot down

If you need anything new - shawls, abayahs, clothes, prayer mats, even a tasbih, he’s taking out his shiny black spoiled rich prince card and just throws it to you 

He definitely asks around Scarabia to see if there’s anything else you need that you haven’t told him or gotten for yourself

And no, it doesn’t matter that ‘Kalim kind of got it covered’, he’s buying it for you. Besides, it's nice to have extras to be prepared.

He’d make sure that there are plenty of shaded, cushiony areas where you can rest in his dorm (he already made a dedicated room for you when he found out that you were muslim for you to have privacy/pray/do whatever - and yes, the Savanaclaw students used their excellent construction skills to even build a wudhu area)

He writes home to his brother and sister-in-law explaining your situation just in case Cheka wants to visit and ends up running you ragged because you’re too kind to say no to him. You wake up the next morning to find a care basket from the King and Queen of Afterglow Savannah, giving you well wishes and the way Leona’s eyes don’t meet yours tells you all that you need to know.

(He also asks his sister in law if she knows any ladies that practice the same things you do so he could get a better understanding)

Whenever it’s time to break fast, the entire Savanaclaw dorm throws a feast (it's usually a barbeque) and they all eat with you like one big happy rowdy family 

No matter how much of a sleepy kitty he is, he always makes sure to wake you up on time for iftar or suhoor if you’re sleeping when the adhaan goes off

I like to think that NRC has an adhaan that plays through the school’s speakers but the individual dorms have their own set up as well

Oh imagine for your Ramadan henna you manage to incorporate a lion like Leona’s tattoo or like paw prints or something like that and proudly show it off to him and he just scoffs and mutters something about you having good taste 

Okay so you know those anger translator videos? Well, since you can’t swear or use bad language when you’re fasting, Ruggie has a whole arsenal of words to unleash on anyone giving you a hard time (typically Ace, Deuce or Grim are the ones who do this but pretend they’re not there), and then he reports back to Leona

These were all that I could think of.

Chris and Lilly had been together for a few years, and they had a deep connection that went beyond just physical attraction. They were best friends, confidantes, and lovers, and they cherished their time together.

One evening, after a particularly long and tiring day for Lilly, Chris suggested that they spend the night in and relax. Lilly agreed, and they settled in on the couch, watching a movie and snuggling close.

As the night wore on, their physical connection took over, and they began to kiss passionately. Chris could feel Lilly's tension melt away as he ran his hands over her body, bringing her to a state of arousal.

Lilly stood up and led Chris to the bedroom, where they continue their make-out session. Chris gently pushed Lilly onto the bed and began to kiss his way down her body. He reached her breasts, taking each nipple in his mouth and teasing it with his tongue. Lilly let out a moan as Chris continued to explore her body, his fingers finding their way between her legs.

Chris could tell that Lilly was already wet and ready for him, but he took his time, teasing her with his fingers and tongue. Lilly writhed in pleasure beneath him, her breathing becoming ragged as she reached the edge of orgasm.

Finally, Chris couldn't resist any longer and entered her. He began to move slowly, building up a steady rhythm as Lilly matched his pace. They moved together, their bodies becoming one as they reached for their release.

As they climaxed together, Chris made sure to hold Lilly close, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. They lay together, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking.

Chris knew how important aftercare was to Lilly, and he made sure to take care of her every need. He held her close, rubbing her back and telling her how much he loved her. He got her a glass of water and a warm blanket, making sure she was comfortable and content before they drifted off to sleep, wrapped in each other's arms.

It was nights like this that reminded Chris and Lilly of why they were together. Their love was deep and true, and they cherished every moment they had together.

dm me IMMEDIATELY you actually devoured this so bad 😭😭

ur my new fav anon i loved this

[oribu-the-loser]

Woah my first piece of art here, I haven’t drawn traditional art in months & honestly I’m pretty happy with how this looks :)

Also tsugumi is one of my favs from afterglow, she needs more appreciation fr 🙏❤️

[enderdeservesbetter]

Hello, I don't know if I'm going to publish this, but I need to talk about EACH SONG in particular.

Context: I listen to a lot of music, from TS my favorite albums are 1989, folklore and reputation. I started listening to her music "seriously" when she released midnights. But once I heard folklore and 1989 I didn't listen to it again, I still don't know why.

I don't consider myself a swiftie, so I don't know how this is going to end. I know a little bit where you're coming from and I looked up some info RIGHT before I started listening.

Disclosure: I'm really doing this because I started with ZERO expectations with each song.

SONGS LIST:

Fortnight: 2.5/5

+1 Post Malone's voice! and Tay's voice gives it the tone, it seems like a ballad song // +1 I think it's almost impossible to sound VERY depressed or very sad with synth pop, point in favor (and I'm going to take that point because the fast beat is definitely something insistent and distracting, it covers up a lot their voices) // ...1 It has a lot of lyrics, I really feel that it doesn't match the rhythm, it's like waiting for something that never comes...

I actually love long lyrics and I like that, but at the same time it's really strange because I would expect it from a ballad or a sad song.

The Tortured Poets Department: 1.5/5

+1 If it were a sad pop song... // -1 THAT BLESSED INSISTENT TIME... WHO DID THIS?? // +1 She is ANGRY, but she doesn't usually verbalize it so much, she tends to construct very complex images... So I like that // ...1 The first 4 seconds reminded me of Afterglow (one of the first songs I heard and one of my favs)

On another note, I was really waiting to hear this song, there are lines that sound good like... THE NAME OF THE SONG. But I also didn't expect that the same thing that happened to me with Midnight Rain and I would find it unsatisfactory (it doesn't take much to like a song, really).

She really expected so much from him and knew him so much, and it feels like she's fighting not to screw this up anymore. That's why I say, this song is like something I would say to one of my exes.

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: 3/5

+4 Really Taylor's voice this time fits with the musical composition, still very full of synth-pop, But a little more pleasant to listen to. // -1 With the lyrics I can only visualize a little boy with a mother... I'm pretty sure almost none of her exes are children.

I really like this song in terms of rhythms, it's something I would listen to while traveling. NOW... I feel like she is justifying something that hurt her. As if it bothers him but he prefers that to not having him by his side. I can't stop seeing the child playing and screaming and throwing a tantrum. So yeah, a good one and a bad one.

Down Bad: 3.5/5

+2 This one too, its pacing is also good, a little unsatisfactory, but a little better in the end. // ...1 It sounds depressing, definitely. And I don't know how to feel about that. // ...1 She also sounds like she's drunk, talking in an interview about one of her exes. If anything, it also sounds like a drunk text to your ex.

Like I said, she sounds drunk, like she's trying to tell her ex how she is, but she doesn't finish forming words and ends up repeating the same thing over and over again. She is angry about how things turned out.

So Long, London: 3.5/5

+2 THAT INTRO IS FANTASTIC... Until the synth pop starts in all its glory, but it's still wonderful. // +1 The lyric is the sequel to You're Losing Me! // ...1 Towards the end it begins to be unfilling and depressive.

I'm going to be honest, while I'm doing this I'm listening to each song on loop to then put my thoughts in order. With this song in particular, I'm in awe and it only took me one time. She is really angry with the pandemic, with him and with the world. She sounds so broken and angry...

But Daddy I Love Him: 2.5/5

+1 Good rhythm, I like that it doesn't feel SO heavy. // +1 The lyric is really strange, completely taken from a VERY bad romantic comedy where the grandmother talks about her past. // ...1 Half a point (or a little more because of how relatable it is in some parts) // -1 Because of the Matty controversy... What were you doing with him? And why does he have a song all for him? It's really weird.

When I started to see about this controversy (today) and searched for this, I never thought that the song I most expected to hear was about him. It's like my non-existent expectations are destroyed. I usually don't pay attention to these things, but seriously, she tells you. It seems to me that she knows, and she has no regrets. It's like a slap in the face from YDTCD.

Fresh Out the Slammer: 4/5

+2 It's the first sad song that sounds sad! And I completely approve. // +1 “He said, she said, they did it too” is what the song feels like. Start accepting that it's over. // ...1 It's like a strange apology.

This may be one of my favorite songs SO FAR... I don't have much to say about this one, I feel like in general it's a nice sad song

(hay algunas canciones que no van a tener mucha explicación como antes porque se me borraron :D)

Florida!!!: 2.5/5

I don't usually like collaborations, but I don't dislike this one. The relationship between the instrumental and the lyrics is understood. It makes me think about her. power not to cry in full concert.

Guilty as Sin?: 3/5

I like the rhythm, the lyrics really scream DELUSION. I've been there, yes, it's me. But seriously, the emotional affair...

Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?: 5/5

My instant favorite! I feel like she still has every right to be mad at all of them.

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): 2.5/5

Reminds me of my first relationship... OMG

loml: 3.5/5

A sad lullaby, I have little tears :(

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart: 4.5/5

Drunk comedy granny again, makes me think about her mental and emotional state on tour. The instrumental makes me a little sick. But definitely one of my favs strangely.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: 2.5/5

God, a supposedly two-week relationship turned into a disaster... No future and she just wants me to confirm what she always knew and what they told her.

The Alchemy: 2.5/5

Apparently it's a love song, if so, it's a very nice one. It makes me think that possibly she feels she didn't feel so deserving of love, but it really made her see the opposite.

Clara Bow: 4.5/5

Wow, just wow!

OVERALL: 3.5/5

I've seen a lot of people say that it's not their best work, but I can say that it hasn't been their best. I'll probably do the second part The Manuscript later.

[startreatment]

literally no one asked, but i'm listening to midnights in full (again) to see if my opinion's changed so! a little track by track review!

lavender haze - i got it the first time. nothing bad to say about this track tbh! really like the melodies, it's catchy and feels fresh and new. well, it kinda reminds me of false god in a sense? maybe it's just the sultry nature of the track. 8/10

maroon - this fuck ass song. the metaphors are giving "high schooler trying to write poetry" at times, the chorus is just. . . no, thank you! earlier on twitter i said that it feels like too much and not enough at the same time? her vocals are clearly the focus, but i don't particularly enjoy the melodies on this one, so. . . don't like the production either actually! it's kinda like afterglow but worse in every way to me. the outro's nice though, i love her voice! still i skip it every time it comes on shuffle and roll my eyes every time i see maroon praise on the tl. 4/10

anti-hero - actually a lot better than i remember! that sexy baby line still catches me off guard every time tho. the bridge is very funny TO ME! i kinda see the vision now i think. maybe! idk. the verses are kinda there, don't really do anything for me (which is actually a problem with most track on this record, now that i think about it). nonetheless it's like a 7/10

snow on the beach - genuinely a great track, even though i never get the urge to listen to it. love how dream-like and hazy and Cold it sounds! like a particularly frosty night in the middle of december. it's a very purple track as well, if you know what i mean. i like it! some of the lyrics are questionable ("life is emotionally abusive" is just not it for me SORRY).

ALSO the "weird but fucking beautiful" part is incredibly annoying to me . . .something about it is so lana that i just can't stomach it, it makes me physically cringe. when i do listen to the song, it's always the clean version lol. also i just couldn't give less of a shit about lana and i'm glad she didn't get a verse! 8.5/10 tho, a beautiful track.

you're on your own, kid - i get what she was going for, and if it weren't for jack i would've loved this one a lot more bc lyrically and vocally it's very very nice! unfortunately they both hate me. oh well! 8/10

midnight rain - love the concept, but the execution could've been wayyyy better tbh. lyrically it's a bit corny at times and production-wise it's nothing to write home about, but it's not outrageously horrible, so i guess a 6/10?

question...? - i have the bad taylor swift songs enjoyer gene so TO ME this isn't half as bad as everyone makes it out to be. the bridge is meh, but the melodies are very fun! lyrically, it's kinda all over the place, but i still get it . 7/10

vigilante shit - look. didn't i just say i have the bad ts songs enjoyer gene? it could've been in my top 5 if the production was even a tiny bit interesting. lyrically? it's atrocious. unbelievably corny, this weird mixture of edgy and awkward only taylor can achieve. in other words, PERFECT !!! it kind of reminds me of lwymmd, if lwymmd was like 3 times less cunty and camp, and like 10 times less interesting production-wise. vocally, she delivers though! very sexy, playful and fun!!! we could've had it all!! jack had other plans, i guess. 6/10

bejeweled - really fun. one of my favs since day one, actually! loooove the production on this one! the synth (? i don't know shit about instruments btw) makes me think of those 3-in-a-row games and it's just Perfect! love those "nice!" moments, love the chorus, love the bridge. in the famous words of Taylor Nation, let's reclaim the land, uk swifties! 8/10

labyrinth - too boring, sorry. i've seen someone say that if this song were on folklore, swifties would "give it the attention it deserves", and i couldn't disagree more. it's just not It lyrically, sorry. 5/10. SORRY. genuinely don't understand why she put this on the record instead of something like would've, could've, should've, or the great war or even glitch (which would make the bejeweled -> karma transition seamless. do you guys think we'll ever get a solid ts album tracklist that makes sense? i doubt it.)

karma - again, i got it the first time. verses are boring and if i could, i'd only listen to the chorus+the bridge, but it's still soooooo FUNNNN!!! like. karma is a cat purring in my lap cause it loves me. that chorus melody is Insane and her vocal delivery is top notch. she's a pop mastermind. 8/10 only because the verses suck otherwise this would've been a 10 and i mean it. i like pop music a lot btw.

sweet nothing - really sweet. doesn't make me feel like i'm slipping into a coma, unlike labyrinth. beautiful piano, beautiful melodies! like a 7/10 maybe. should've been a tad shorter i think.

mastermind - i wish it didn't suck this bad production-wise. i think the concept's really fun - a song about being a mastermind from a woman known to leave easter eggs everywhere she goes. the idea of working hard behind the scenes trying to construct a perfect love story for you and your lover... i get it. unfortunately, it's also . . . boring. 5/10.

not gonna do the 3am tracks and hits different because they're all great and i don't feel like writing out "this has great lyrics!" 7 times in a row. i do have to say that dear reader is the worst thing ever because JACK ANTONOFF. like it just makes me want to throw up how much i like the lyrics and how shitty the song sounds. goddamit.

it's a 6.7, according to my calculator!

[honeybabymp3]

oh bestie spill! what’re your lover skips? (and mids and favs while you’re at it) 💖

hsdjkfhdskjfhkjsdhs....sigh. lover. complicated feelings. truly an essay under the cut (also don't want to be toooo negative on everyone's dashes i am TRYING to cut back)

my faves are of course cruel summer and inthaf, two of the best of her discography i think, inthaf is just. truly special. people like to say that it was the prelude to folklore or w/e swifties say but honestly, it has this dreamy lover tinge that is very much it's own thing and i love it in a way more than folklore. i also LOVE i think he knows sdfl;jsd it's just such a feel good horny banger , we* (*well. not me. but people who are going) were ROBBEDDDD of getting to scream the last i think he knows in the bridge in a stadium. paper rings is also a legend, i still have such a soft spot for her friendship with jack and this song creates such a strong image of them as this hippie wedding band i love it.

on the other end of the spectrum....i can't really listen to some of those pop disaster anymore klafdjsjdl it's just. they're fine ig? but it's just so not her to make pop music that is MID. so i barely listen to me/yntcd/the man/london boy. i am an enjoyer of the clean bandit remix of yntcd tho dsfljsldk and also the city of lover ver of me where she screams HEY KIDS! and the crowd yells the spelling is fun back like they're under her spell sdjflksdj The Power Of Women.

others i really like are iftye (i just . think it's a fun opening track. and i think it helped reset expectations from the album haha.) DAYLIGHT (i love to interpret it as being about self acceptance and it's just... beautiful to me idk what the fandom consensus on this one is but i love it) and the archer is still very special to me. miss americana is kind of cringe and i can't really listen to it anymore but i love the concept and the atmospheric feel to it. lover is also a weird one cause it's for me peak example of both really great taylor lyrics and really cringe one ('with every guitar string scar on my hand' god tier 'magnetic force of a man' lame) idk i used to love it and now it's not even on my lover playlists sdkfjslkj. sygb is of course beautiful but i kind of can't listen to it cause. well. i actually can't really listen to marjorie either

the last few are...strange. by order, i really like dbatc, it has such fun bridge fldkjskdfl it's so fun to sing along to. but what is up with those production choices besties. i like the production choices on cor st. but i just...i don't KNOW what is it about these last four that i can't put my finger on why they don't fully click for me like i can't point at something specific that annoys me. i know it's a lesbian crime not to like false god and i did like it a bit more with the piano version but sdkfjsdl i feel bad for trash talking the sax and i like that she Tried Something it just sdjflksjdfl. and afterglow...idk. there is just something about the bubblegum-ness of lover that is just...idk!!!!! idk. either way. if you actually read all this thank you.

but the tl;dr

[te-pu-si-ti]

TBC 30 day challenge - Day 14

Fav group scene

It has to be the Blinding.

The culmination of Hecuba's story. The Women of Troy (and a genderqueer demon) gathering to deliver justice. The flash of the neon around the window reflecting off of faces - Hecuba's face, Kampe's face, Apollo in the rhinestone-encrusted skull, Persephone's face as she watches in horror this gruesome act that she cannot understand.

Hecuba on all fours on the desk, in Polymestor's fur coat, chanting, calling upon the furies for aid. The feeling that you're on a roller coaster, reaching the top of the first hill, and there's nothing you can do now but put your arms up as you fall. We're on this path now, nothing can change it.

The party atmosphere. The extra little synths that you can hear from the Klub, bubbling up as the music begins (they aren't in the recorded version of Confusion). The pounding beat that does not stop until the end.

The weird afterglow at the end, where everyone breaks away to the edges of the circle, some in shock, some watching on eagerly, some just chilling (especially WenHsin's Macaria. She cracked me up with how blissed out she was, leaning back there as Hecuba raised the eyeballs up high).

The loneliness as everyone filters out, and Hecuba reckons with what she's been through and what she's done.

And Kampe, left alone with the martini glass, forgetting everything, and finding a snack in their hand.

(My favourite Blinding was at New Year's Remix, when the Troy Finale switched to SNM's Witches' Rave music, and we all cheered at the moment of the eyeball gouging)
