its so nice that taylor wrote her entire discography about the marauders! shes so cool :)

i know who you really are, mskingbean89.

[maryfromwork]

The Taylor swift as MsKingBean89 theories actually check out bc they’re both criminally bad at writing

[my-castles-crumbling]

You know, Cas... there's all these theories that MsKingBean89 is secretly Taylor swift... but really, I think you/ Cas, Taylor, and MsKingBean89 are all secretly the same person. I've heard your breathtaking singing and read your beautiful writing... what are you hiding from us, hmm?

Jokes, but your writing and singing are literally amazing <3 hope you have a fantastic day :)

You got me. TTPD is actually all about Regulus Black and I'm getting married to Travis Kelce in the Fall.

JOKING! :P But really, I am so completely honored to be compared to Taylor (and MsKingBean89). Thank you so much <3 <3 Have the most amazing day!

for the true/false asks:

u don't like Taylor Swift but u love 70s music

actually i love taylor! i think she has amazing lyrical skill and her songs are amazing and work very well for a lot of the fandoms im in! (believer in MsKingBean89 being taylor)

i do love 70's music too!!! david bowie mainly, but also queen's earlier stuff, elton john, some pink floyd, and a little bit of fleetwood mac. (i know i would like fleetwood mac a lot so im not doing anything about my lack of motivation to listen to them bc i cant handle another hyperfixation that i'd only get halfway into and feel guilty about for ages)

so yeah. love em both!

[grape-v1nes]

Okokok so if I had to assume there's the marauders fandom & then there's swifties as seperate groups of sheepies right? So as we all know taylor Swift released folklore & evermore during the pandemic, and do you know what was also booming in the pandemic? Marauders. Causing the two groups of sheepies to get one pen, & besides from folk & evermore being pandemic babies yk what they also are? Albums with both woodland forest & old money vibes AKA the soundtrack to the iconic shepards known as wolfstar's LIFE. SO during that overlap era it caused the taylor Swift Shepard to be immortalized by this fandom THE END, goodnight.

thank you anon for the detailed answer it is acceptable.

i’ve also been thinking about it and my theory is that it probably has something to do with the fan theory that mskingbean89 is actually ts — does anyone actually believe this?? i’m genuinely asking — if they DO then that could explain at least some of the enormous overlap bt ts & marauders fans.

[labyrinthhofmymind]

ok these are my final thoughts on the tortured poets department for the night (this is probably a lie, i genuinely can’t stop thinking about it):

1. the tortured poets department THE SONG is so amazing i’m deeply obsessed it tears at my heart in such a specific way it so makes sense it’s the title of the album

2. what if i said my boy only breaks his favourite toys is remus talking about sirius….

3. so long, london GIVES MAJOR TOLERATE VIBES SONICALLY WISE, you can tell aaron denser helped make it AND I LOVE IT

4. but daddy i love him is jaw dropping, ground breaking, so perfect, absolutely heart wrenching, THE BEST DAMN SONG CREATED TAYLOR HOW DO YOU DO IT

5. fresh out the slammer = wolfstar post azkaban. next

6. FLORIDA!!!!!! ULTIMATE FLORENCE SONG THANK YOU TAYLOR FOR LETTING HER SHINE!!!!!! THIS SHOULD BE A SINGLE!!!!!!

7. who’s afraid of little old me? is actually life altering. LIFE ALTERING

8. I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART???? THE BACKGROUND SOUNDS???? THE WAY ITS HER LITERALLY PERFORMING THROUGHOUT THE SONG AND BEING ALL HAPPY EVEN WHILST SHES HEARTBROKEN?????? TAYLOR YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

9. again i could most definitely relate wolfstar to the smallest man who ever lived but i don’t think that’s wise for my mental health….

10. the name drops in clara bow GAGGED ME

11. THE BLACK DOG. THE BLACK DOG SKFNNSNFNSNFNNDNFNDNNFNDNF GOODBYE

12. imgonnagetyouback is marauders vibes I CAN FEEL IT JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT

13. so high school = jily

14. i’m convinced taylor read my journal when she wrote i hate it here. I RELATE TO THAT SHIT OH GOD

14. the prophecy is lily evans and harry potters song no i won’t be explaining that next question

15. cassandra dorcas

16. peter. PETER. PETERRRRERR. taylor knows guys….. SHE KNOWS

17. THE BOLTER IS MY SONG! it scratches my brain in such a specific way i cannot cope it means so much to me it’s perfect and i claim it as mine no one loves that song like i love it ALSO ITS MARYS ANTHEM!!!!!

18. manuscript is genuinely the most perfect album closer to any taylor album ever, it gives me chills and makes me think we’re witnessing the end of a major era of taylor and the way she creates music/performs

sorry not sorry for how long this is I JUST HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS GUYS. also the anthology is truly hitting in a way i didn’t think possible, all 31 songs are absolutely perfect taylor has outperformed yet again maybe my fav album IDK IM FEELING SO MUCH YOU GUYS PLS LEMME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS

[hellojuiceboxbaby]

The trend of calling Hozier concerts marauders concerts and Taylor swift concerts mskingbean89 concerts will never not be funny to me

Here’s another Hozier one lol I was actually dying at these I needed to share with someone

[lusthurts]

29, 12, and 6?

omg yay

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

here's something I cut from "How Bright We Burn" - in the first draft, Kurt and Blaine broke up after Kurt didn't show up to the Warblers sectionals, and Blaine and Sebastian's first kiss happened that night during the truth or dare game when Thad dares them to make out. Anyway, this scene follows that:

He reaches for the back of Sebastian’s neck and pulls him towards him. Cheers from the Warblers erupt immediately when their lips connect, and Blaine can’t help but smile. That day in the hallway when Sebastian said they could run the school together pops into Blaine’s head as Sebastian kisses him back, and it’s the last coherent thought he has as his eyes close and their lips fit like pieces of a puzzle that have been dying to touch for years. 

Blaine must black out for a second because it’s almost like it’s just them, even though this might be the loudest he’s ever heard the Warblers cheer during a dare. He’s too focused on Sebastian’s tongue as it slips between his lips and his hand as it lands on his thigh, then his waist, all of it sending shock waves through his entire body. 

It takes a distinctly Nick-sounding cheer to snap Blaine out of the hazy mess of a kiss and pull away. It’s frustrating because he doesn’t want to stop, which is a shitty thing to think when you’ve been single for less than a day. Maybe it’s the liquor, but he’s terrified it isn’t. 

come to think of it, maybe I actually will include this in a different fic in the future lol

12. Do you have a playlist for your current WIP(s)? Share it!

yes! I make playlists for almost all my WIPs, even the shorter ones. The "How Bright We Burn" playlist has 123 songs on it (many of which are songs that led to the lyrics at the top of each chapter) so I won't share them all for now, but instead, I'll share some highlights from the playlist for the sequel ;)

"Beautiful Trauma" by P!nk

"Crazy In Love" by Beyoncé

"Renegade" by Big Red Machine & Taylor Swift

"Holy Ghost" by BØRNS

"Style" by Taylor Swift

"History" by One Direction

"Easy" by Troye Sivan

"Paprika" by Japanese Breakfast

"The Louvre" by Lorde

"Till Forever Falls Apart" by Ashe & FINNEAS

hopefully that doesn't include any spoilers ope

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

omg yes of course, the Seblaine fic that I literally always reread is the "I'll Be There For You" series by Imogen_LeFay, specifically "Stuck In Second Gear" because that fic is seriously canon to me and the only way I can ever bring myself to rewatch the last season of Glee because I know that this fic is how it really ends. For other Seblaine fics, I love to reread "Seasons Change" by civillove and "This or That" by TiburonWriter.

also, I'm a huge marauders fan (though you wouldn't guess it from my Tumblr where I almost exclusively talk about seblaine and Taylor Swift) and I have to admit I've reread the famous "All the Young Dudes" by MsKingBean89 multiple times as well.

sorry this got so long lol clearly idk how to be concise

[alltoounwellll]

ok because originally I thought of wolfstar when I listened to taylor swift’s sweet nothing because when is a taylor swift song not about them (tswift mskingbean89 confirmed) but actually it is all grant chapman

because like sirius black is fire and smoke and sharp edges and rock and roll but grant chapman is honey and gold and springtime and sundays and sweet nothings and now I’m crying

[rollercoasterwords]

Wait out of the blue was mskingbean86? Oop sorry im getting old I thought it was you 😭

also how r we feeling abt the rumors that mskingbean was actually taylor swift

yeah lol i did not write out of the blue!

and personally i find the whole mskingbean89 is taylor swift thing. harmless but really annoying lmao

[cowboy-like-moony]

PROS AND CONS OF THESE TOPICS:

Did Kanye make Taylor famous?

Obviously we all know the answer is no, but I'd like to show everyone this with sources. The obvious pro is that everyone doing the PowerPoint night is interested in Taylor Swift, but this is also a con because it means people already know about the whole drama. Still I have fantasized about making a PowerPoint about this on several occasions, in fact every time some dumbass commented "kanye made her famous" on somthing taylor swift related, I just want to shove this potential PowerPoint presentation in their faces (ideally this would solve the same issue for other swities as well), but here comes the problem with this: I already have to manu plans and expectations, this will either become the greatest thing I have ever created or (more likely) I will crumble under the pressure and be disappointed in myself. Another con is that I'm upset with Taylor right now soo idk how much time and energy I can currently put into defending her, even tho I do believe she was very much in the right in that particular situation.

Every Conan Gray song is about the marauders:

This feels like exactly the kind of silly topic that this night is meant to explore and I am passionate about how similar the plot of Conans discography and the plot atyd are. It's obviously a bit more niche and I also have a bit less to say about it.

Something else:

The obvious con is that this is not a topic. I was thinking maybe somthing avatar the last airbender related? Idk. I think explaining MH and his controversies would be educational and needed, but I don't think that would make for a very fun presentation, which kind of defeats the purpose. If you guys have better ideas I'm all ear.

[ess-presso]

i’ll be fr with yall the taylor swift x mskingbean89 allegations are actually annoying as hell.

[rosemarytales]

thoughts on my ttpd first listen

Fortnight (feat. Post Malone): I've been saying her relationship with alcohol was not healthy bruuuh. I love how she takes her life, which the vast majority of her listeners would not be able to relate to, and makes an "understandable" metaphor out of it. But it must break her to do so. Love Post Malone's voice here, he really compliments her well. THE MV THO with the dead poets <3<3<3<3<3

TTPD: girl go get your lover tf 😭😭😭 whole era dedicated to this muse, incredible.

My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys: getting mad MATHP vibes from the storytelling here.

Down Bad: now I'm starting to really get dragged in the album. The first verse rewired something in me, Idk. also if I speak about the muse... The New Romantics mention, I died dead. Also someone needs to edit kenstewy to the "hostile takeover" bit.

So Long, London: my favourite so far, I am in love with this vibe. It's giving YLM. Also I love the style of the intro, it's channeling the waves in a way, up until this point the album has a very distinct "look" and I can see it so clearly. My real question atp is how are we supposed to just, go on as normal after this album. She is baring her soul in a way she's never done before and it's not a happy soul, so how is just going to go on keeping her happy persona at Eras and how are we going to let her. I think the management is probably gonna make the last songs be happier ones to get back a bit of the persona. Like atp I'm not convinced the 5 stages of grief was her idea and I don't think this mental state is related to a specific breakup or a specific event, this is a cluster of stuff she's been carrying.

But Daddy I Love Him: "growin' up precocious sometimes means not growin' up at all" holy fuck, mood. My heart aches for her, this anger and resentment must have been burning holes through her and people are still probably not gonna see her as she wants to be seen even after this. She couldn't make this pain any clearer and tomorrow she is still gonna have to play pretend.

Fresh Out The Slammer: still breaking these chains!! If anyone at all is listening, there is a Taylor before this album and a Taylor after. Full stop, no going back.

Florida!!!: I LOVE THIS COLLAB I NEED A FULL ALBUM.

Guilty as Sin?: looove the beats on this one.

Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me: "don't you worry folks we took out all her teeth" and the circus life, I am broken. This album is supposed to be her breaking her chains and the general reaction is "what ex caused this". I wouldn't be surprised if she committed mass murder.

I Can Fix Him (No, Really I Can): this song is giving cowboy - Lana Del Rey - old americana vibe and I'm into it. It's a new thing for Taylor but it suits her well, especially with her country past.

loml: feeling the "All Things End" by Hozier vibes. Now that I think about it the whole album is kinda Hozier-y, like very heavy on lyricism, dark storytelling and kinda giving whiskey/soil/heavy clouds. I am obsessed.

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart: girl go to therapy I am begging you.

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: THE SOUND!! THE WORDS!! THE TRUST ISSUES!! I love this song.

The Alchemy: psych ward mention in the obligatory football song, I see you, Miss Swift, trying to see who's actually listening. Well, I am.

Clara Bow: Nothing New bridge meets The Lucky One. I don't think anyone wants to be part of the industry after listening to this album, Tay, but we appreciate the sentiment.

The Black Dog: okay MsKingBean89. Also the location, she is hilarious.

imgonnagetyouback: bpdlor shining through, love you queen.

The Albatross: she hates her fans, and she is right. The Matty thing was heinous.

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus: beautiful song. I don't have many thoughts about it, it's deeply personal for the people involved (like much of the album), and since I'm not one of them I can just say she evokes images so beautifully with her words. She is extremely skilled and talented.

How Did It End?: the sound really captures the image of someone lost in thought at the grocery store, idk what else to say.

So High School: was she sick while recording this?

I Hate It Here: my anthem. me. myself. I.

thanK you aIMee: cute metaphors

I Look In People's Windows: Ebenezer Scrooge-ass anthem (I am crying does anyone remember my "on the glass wall" post, I'm adding this song). I know it doesn't make sense, but to me it sounds like she hadn't been singing for a while and she is incorporating vocal exercises in her songs, Idk why. (like "oh this exercise sounds fun, should insert it in a song").

The Prophecy: oh boy, oh boy, this one hit hard. Like really hard. "Shades of greige" is the perfect way to describe this album, it's rather monochrome and monothonous like sadness often is.

Cassandra: I love me a good Greek mythology reference. Incredible imagery. Bruno Madrigal's anthem.

Peter: yes. yes. this. Peter Pan imagery + Daisy Buchanan vibes, I died dead.

The Bolter: called me tf out. The leaks in the rowboat, my God...

Robin: not crying, you are.

The Manuscript: that's the ending I was talking about. There is no real happy closure, she had to go back 15 years to find a past that doesn't haunt her anymore, that's disheartening. I guess we'll see how this plays out, but I'm afraid she's not all that better. Hope she can take a break and get better soon.

Overall, I loved this album so much. It's everything I hoped Midnights would be and Midnights is in my top 3, so that's saying something. Considering how wordy it is, I think most songs will grow on me even more, looking forward to that.
