[sugar-omi]

not both of us in our workaholic eras omg... i have like a BILLION discussion forum posts to respond to LMFAO, but we'll get through this together... i'll even ward off your cat for you even though i can never say no to a sweet kitty...

on the topic of ward, though, seeing you respond to one of my long since forgotten swiftie asks has brought me back to my roots. and since then my music taste has branched out a bit, and i feel it's fitting to reintroduce my constant "haha this song is so baxter" agenda and truly reconnect with who i once was (the swiftie asker...)

anyways! if you haven't listened to "never love an anchor" by the crane wives yet? PLEASE DO BECAUSE THE LYRICS ARE SO ACHINGLY BAXTER THAT I KIND OF FEEL LIKE HE WAS INSPIRED BY THAT SONG. or that song was inspired by him? who knows... only kab...

*link

I HAVEEE HEARD THAT!! omg it is so baxter... the "these hands of mine were clumsy, not clever" YES YES YES THATS SUCH A GOOD REFERANCE FOR HOW HE THOUGHT HE WAS SOOO SMART LEAVING PEOPLE BEFORE THEY LEFT HIM

AND "but try as i might, i couldn't bring myself to hold you" AGAIN. A REFERANCE FOR YOUNG BAXTER BEING UNABLE TO LOVE MC BECAUSE OF ALL HIS INSECURITY AND FEAR

then "there is love that doesn't have a place to rest / but it would have buried you if it settled on your shoulders" is even better... because he knows if he had tried to love you then, he would've snuffed out the fire because his heart was heavier than his love, and his looming trauma was a large ship casting a shadow over the fishing boat you two wanted to call a relationship...

and the last verses... "there are times when i still wonder about you" BAXTER HOLDING ONTO THE SOUVINER HE GOT IN SUNSET BIRD (i think this is so much stronger if your mc picked a gift out for him)

"and you'll never see the reasons i had / for keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you" BAXTER KNOWING THAT HE WAS TOO FUCKED UP TO LOVE YOU BACK THEN AND FORCING YOU AWAY EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE UPSET, MAYBE EVEN CRYING, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ASKING HIM TO STAY....

"i am selfish, i am broken, i am cruel / i am all the things they might have said to you" BAXTER FUCKING???? CALLING HIMSELF SUCH MEAN THINGS THAT YOUR FRIENDS MIGHT HAVE SAID ABOUT HIM AFTER HE LEFT?????

all of this is so baxter... i can reference every line back to him.... every fucking word has baxter alexander ward written deep into it... im going to lose my mind....

"so, i did the only thing that i could / and severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor" PLEASE. MY HEART IS ON THE FLOOR. AND THE LINES AFTER "do you ever think of me and my two hands?" I WILL LITERALLY RIP MY HAIR OUT. THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT SONG TO INSERT INTO A FIC???? please. i will sob.

I hate stan twitter, and fanwars, and stuff like that. It's so sad. Most people participating in fanwars are young teens who are looking for something to base their self worth on. Oh, my favorite group got more sales than yours, therefore I'm better than you! It's so bad for them in so many ways. And there are also adults in their twenties, and they make thousands of tweets about how other celebrities suck, encouraging the kids to participate in the discourse. How Taylor Swift is trash and Gaga is queen, how BTS is the greatest of all time and NCT sucks, and it's so stupid. Such a waste of time, and it infuriates me. We have such short lives and the idea of spending entire days trash talking oomf's faves is depressing. There is a whole world out there, there are flowers and oceans and there is a sun and crisp air. And even if one doesn't like going outside, or the outside isn't accessible to them, with the same phone they can watch a movie or read a book. Something to fill their soul with warmth and their minds with knowledge. I just feel sad that teens are wasting their youth on this stuff. I wish we could go back to listening to the music we like, supporting the artists we want, and leaving others to listen to whatever other music they connect with.

(God, I sound like such a boomer)

oooh i completely agree with u!!!

i think what’s also a problem in my eyes is that most people who get into these fights on stan twitter are so vile and aggressive and insult others in such heinous ways while being so so young (eg l*l n*s x), and that makes me worry and makes me sad 😐 bcs a) they’re probably gonna grow up and regret what they did, and b) what kind of adults are they gonna become if they display this behaviour at such a young age ? like what adult will they be when as 12 year olds they regularly log onto sns and tell ppl to k/ll themselves ? and i hate that its so normalized !! like i hear ppl saying ‘oh thats just how they talk on stan twitter, its normal!’ well let me tell u none of that is normal . it is not normal to call people slurs or tell them to die bcs u dont like them or u disagree on your media preferences . it is not normal and it honestly fills me with sadness and worry
