Well, I'm still pissed at people for making her struggle all about themselves and forced her to delete this scene. And if anyone disagrees, please kindly ignore this post, I'm glad I've made this!
Honestly, it's bothering and saddening me to see how pretentious some people in the DPS fandom are being because of an album title. The Tortured Poets Department isn't even out yet, calm down. It might not even be that inspired by DPS, the titles might just sound similar. There are already swifties here. Exhibit a: me. A good majority of DPS edits I see are to/inspired by a Taylor Swift song (or a song by The Smiths). Let's be happy some new people will potentially join us (I haven't even seen swifties enter the DPS fandom in mass droves like some of you are acting has happened) and possibly be introduced to some queer themes DPS has to offer (some of those are in Tay's music too btw, on purpose or not). [Edit: I initially left this fact out of this post, but in hindsight, I think it's important to remember that DPS is not textually queer and all its subtext very well might be accidental. That doesn't mean that it's not there or doesn't matter. I totally believe it does; author's intent matters, but so does interpretation. As long as you have textual evidence that some kind of subtext is present, you can't/shouldn't be told you're wrong. But it's not purely a queer movie. Therefore, DPS is not a "queers only" thing; not even a lot of textually queer movies are "queer only". The movie was made for all kinds of audiences, including straight people.] And I'm not always super knowledgeable on these things… but everyone being worried about “straight white girls in my fandom😩” feels somewhat misogynistic. As in, it reminds me of James Somerton making up white women in his comments section to be mad at. Some of you are making up stupid white girl swifties to be mad at. We already enjoy things like looking into poetry, just like you all. Let's not act like Folklore and Evermore don't exist, which are also poetry-inspired albums. There's honestly already some commonality with the fandoms, which is probably why both appeal to me. But even if there weren't, that shouldn't be why people can't like a movie and enter online spaces where people talk about said movie. And not all swifties are straight white girls. Once again, exhibit a: me. I'm not straight or white, but I am a girl. It just really sucks to see, especially since this movie is all about not being so stuck up and stuffy like the teachers at Welton or Neil's father. This movie's against the toxic academia some of you are seemingly pushing.
So Drake and Kendrick are relentlessly dissing each other on diss tracks. Everyone's going crazy, loving it. But when Taylor Swift writes a song about HER own experiences, without even naming anyone, it's a problem.
Red here with a very important message! @theangrypomeranian and I both like to be very thorough when writing...so thorough, in fact, that we know which Taylor Swift album is the favorite of each Baby Steps BB girl...and I present this information to you now, to round out your reading experiences. =P
Louise is excluded because, frankly, I think she'd like some sporadic songs but not really albums or eras as a whole. And she's not really all that Swiftie, you know?
((i do have a jpeg of the blank chart if anyone would like it - just let me know here or at @littleredruns))
happy swiftie halloween to the wonderful @onlyyseedaylight! this is my first time participating in an event, and i'm not the most creative, but you mentioned loving the archer and 1989, so i hope you like this! it was also so much fun getting to know you! 🧡🖤
I'm so so excited for this album, I personally think as the track list was leaked that ultimately caused this mayhem of whole night long and Taylor released rest of her episodes all at once . It's exciting to have the whole track but I used to eagerly wait for each episodes, it was more fun for me! But it's alright as only few days are there for the album release.
