I’m back with comments that don’t make sense but. Next time Billford fights I have a burning need for Mabel to introduce Bill to fun pop breakup music. Get that triangle singing Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter
THIS. THIS. FUCKING ACCURATE KEEP COOKING GORDON RAMSEY.
i think bill would be big on “get him back” by olivia rodrigo. he’d scream that shit from the roof of the mystery shack when hes going thru it w ford. the bridge is deeply applicable to him, but mabel with all her media literacy bites her tongue in regards to the fact that the verses are most DEFINITELY more applicable to ford.
mabel would be very up-to-date on all the pop singer breakups lore. she knows who broke up with who and all the reasons, with her own analytical nuanced takes on why specific celeb couples didn’t work out. it’s her fnaf lore, if you will. bill rolls his eyes at this, as he believes that artists these days just aren’t as tortured as they used to be. mabel chastises his (half joking) suggestion to rectify that.
#if taylor swift can drop top 10s after her breakup w joe alwyn (or whoever the fuck)#surely ford has some absolute bangers locked and loaded#i just know that author motherfucker has some angsty poetry in the margins of his journals#put a generic chord progression and a bass line behind that shit and youve got bars#gravity falls#bill cipher#ford pines#bill x ford#billford#handyman bill au#stanford pines#text#mabel pines

Rewatching folklore: the long pond studio sessions is honestly just.... beautiful, and wonderful but also infuriating as hell.
I have beef with this movie.
AND HERES WHY.
First of all, you expect me to buy that the guy who literally hid for basically your entire 6 year relationship wrote not just the music but also the chorus to Exile?
AND TO THAT EXTENT; you expect me to believe that THE REST (or basically the entirety) of that album is written about MADE UP CHARACTERS when your long-term boyfriend seemingly wrote these lyrics:
"I can see you standing, honey With his arms around your body Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes To pack us up and leave me with it Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town Now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before"
And he did those on a whim, not from personal feelings or experience, because you were still super-duper happy?????
AND TO THAT END
YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT MIDNIGHTS (3 AM VERSION) WAS NOT A BREAKUP ALBUM?????
Nuh-uh. It cannot be both. Either your long-term boyfriend WROTE THIS MUSIC AND LYRICS and that's why Midnights is absolutely a breakup album (bc who, in a loving fulfilling long-term relationship would ever come up with those lyrics on a whim) OR Joe DID NOT write Exile (which you want us to believe) and Midnights is NOT a breakup album (which you want us to believe).
IT CANNOT BE BOTH, TAYLOR.
IN NO WAY DO I BELIEVE YOGHURT BOY CAME UP WITH THOSE LYRICS AND THEN YOU WERE HAPPY AND LOVEY DOVEY ALL THROUGHOUT YOU WRITING EVERMORE AND MIDNIGHTS.
EITHER Joe wrote Exile – OR folklore, evermore and midnights is based on personal experiences and midnights especially is a breakup album, or Joe DIDNT write Exile. There is no in between.
And I believe Joe wrote it, because you said he did. This also ties in with me absolutely believing to my core that Midnights is the Joe breakup album. Bc TTPD is NOT a Joe breakup album, it is a Matty breakup album.
Bc we already had the Joe breakup album, we just didn't know it yet.

I feel like what people don't understand when they say that Taylor "moved on quickly" from Joe is that women are often emotionally done LONG before a relationship officially ends. Because we have worried and cried for endless nights alone and gone back and forth with our friends and pleaded and begged and bent and broken a million times over, trying to make it work. So by the time we're done? Honey, we've BEEN done. Case in point; "You're losing me" being written two years prior to the official break up. Taylor was emotionally done for a long time before Tavis Kelce ever entered her life.

correction: joe signed the ceasefire petition in october. it only gained traction last week
thanks! I didn't know he called for a ceasefire so early on. that's speaks very highly of him. enough that I doubt he would maliciously try to make taylor look bad on her birthday. again, I say, if you think it makes her look bad that he spoke in defense of palestine on december 13, ask yourself why it does
#taylor swift#joe alwyn#i hate having to defend this guy because i literally know nothing about him#and this is not me saying he didn't do anything wrong in their relationship#I'm sure both parties contributed to the breakup#but this is an issue that is decidedly not about taylor#and to make it about her is trashy af

Can we please stop hating on Joe Alwyn saying like "fuck Joe alwyn" and shit, from what I've read, he didn't do anything wrong. His and Taylor's breakup was mutual, and they still have a lot of respect for each other. It just wasn't meant to be. He treated her really well, you don't have to hate on a guy just for breaking up with her. Isn't it better that they break up than stay together unhappy? Now call me out if I'm wrong and he did do something wrong, but I don't want it to be some rumor someone started based off of assumptions. Just stick to hating Jake yall lol

Taylor Swift has an unhealthy obsession with changing her personality according to the men she dates from time to time. It’s funny how she talks about how she's never gonna get back the six years of her life being wasted for being private. But this is the same person who released interviews saying she craves privacy and it has made her life manageable and feel real instead of being the objective of tabloid stories by the media.
It's like she doesn’t have her own perspective of life, she always sees the world the way her partners see them. When she first started dating Joe and started talking about him, she made it look like he is the best thing that has ever happened to her, even in her songs she wrote so highly of him. All the things that she's rejecting now are the things that she admired back in 2016-2022. With all the privacy cravings back then, her fans were dragging Tom hiddleston and Calvin Harris for being so public with her, they dragged these guys saying they only used her for fame and never seen the real Taylor. Back then the narrative was, only Joe was a real guy who loves Taylor for being herself and not the Taylor Swift tm. But since the relationship didn’t work out, she switched the whole narrative again.
This time Joe is the villain for not being public with her. She is so proud of Kelce, she loves to enjoy his shows and apparently she doesn’t care about how many people are pissed of seeing her face everyday, she made a quote on that. But how long since she will switch this narrative too? Again swifties will villainize Travis Kelce and not TS. It's funny how they totally erased the existence of Matty Healy from the interview as well, since it was bad for her image. But we didn’t forget it Taylor that you were proudly hanging out with a racist, xenophobic, islamophobic, zionist guy and publishing articles on how your relationship is NOT platonic.
Her whole activism era started because Joe was an activist. He didn’t stop it after the breakup because it's a part of his personality, he still signed the ceasefire letter. But Taylor didn’t utter a single word about genocide, she's busy learning football and crying about how oppressed she is in her billionaire lifestyle. And somehow she is the Person of the Year in Times magazine.
And talking about her new boyfriend so publicly is something she never did even with Calvin Harris, which was (in comparison) her third most public relationship. But somehow all of this is directed towards Joe as if he was the one in fault for keeping her silent for so long. She is a grown ass woman who can take her own decisions. If she wanted an out from being locked for so long in her own mansions, she could've done that anyway. But to make it look like someone else fault is something she never gets tired of. It's always her exes' faults and not hers. When will you take accountability for your own decisions Taylor Swift?
Like this woman is pushing 40 and is still acting like a high school bully. She is proud of having a boyfriend from football team which is fulfilling her dreams from high school. She loves the attention, loves to play a cheerleader role as a gf. She got a platform like Times magazine’s person of the year where she could talk about serious issues in the world but she'd rather talk about how independent she feels being in a public relationship like this.
Btw it will take no longer than two years for this to turn into a victim trap again, she will then release another article about how she hates so much attention from public and how she craves privacy again, (based on whatever her then boyfriend would want lol) and her fandom will again forget everything she's said in this interview and make an ultimate villain out of Travis Kelce. Literally the same way they did with Jake Gyllenhaal, Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, Harry Styles and Joe Alwyn. It is a never ending cycle and it will go on forever until she decides to seek some therapy for herself.

LADS men as Taylor Swift's albums
+ additional songs that I think suits them
Sylus – reputation
Okay, do I even need to explain it?
Reputation is pretty much a diss to all haters and expectations to be some "good girl" who stays quiet and doesn't make a problem. Cause when you don't, the media tries to destroy your career and public image so hard that it becomes ridiculous at some point.
Taylor didn't denying any of it, no, she's accepting the role of a villain in everyone's story that attributed to her. Just "Sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, cause she's dead!" (yes i'm still crazy over this line after so many years)
And it isn't about destroying yourself, but become even stronger by recognising this new side of yourself and moving forward, leaving all of it bullshit behind.
At the same time album has a deep longing for true love that doesn't based on public image, your "reputation", but who you truly are in intimacy behind the closed doors (aka Delicate and Dress)
It all reflects to one specific crow-crow🐦⬛
Rafayel – Midnights
I think Rafayel is the most difficult LI to understand. Yeah, he's all sassy and cheeky, but also a God who loved with all his being and paid for it with the death of an entire civilization. A lemurian living among humans, wearing endless masks to avenge his people. Manipulator in a way, lulling you into losing focus and submit to his wants. And let's not forget about this constant fear of been forgotten and abandoned by his beloved.
So Midnights is perfect for him as it explores the chaos in our mind during sleepless nights. There's everything - vibe of luxury live, ambitions, cockiness, wit, self-criticism, fears, anxiety and deep dive into mental struggles. If Mastermind isn't his main song then I don't now what it is.
There's Castles Crumbling in additional songs and I highly recommend to listen it – 100% match with Rafayel's myths.
Zayne – evermore
my favourite album by the way)
For me Evermore is Taylor's peak as a poet and storyteller. Melancholy and endlessly sad, but amazingly written and full of emotional depth.
Just like Zayne - tough and cold at first sight, but be patient, don’t rush, and he will show you all of his beautiful sides. This album perfectly match with his past/present/future versions.
"Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you"
"I sit and watch you
And notice everything you do or don't do
You're so much older and wiser and I...
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
Use my best colors for your portrait"
It is Zayne's and his olnly. Period.
Caleb – The Tortured Poets Department
The title is pretty telling, isn't it? It screams Caleb to me.
Long story short album represents heavy breakup between Taylor and Joe Alwyn that were together for about 6 years. I think at all about pouring your feeling out in songs - it's raw, messy, sarcastic and intentionally dramatic one.
Although Caleb is far from artistic and poetic soul, still so many songs reflect to his storyline. This pure rage, breakdown, betrayal, religious and sinfulness themes, toxicity, mental problems and of course falling in love all over again.
Alchemy, TTPD and BDILH is a literally Caleb and MC songs.
Xavier – folklore
Xavier is someone who suffered so much throught his life, had so many regrets towards the MC and whole Philos, but still remains kind and truly caring person who will always protect you, your prince in shining armour. So I think Folklore is a perfect match for him.
Whole album feels like a big-big hug from someone who knows and understands all of your worries without any judjment. Like yes, you’re grown adult now with adult problems, but still there is a place for some childhood fairytales and dreams in your heart.
P.S. I know that Folklore and Evermore often presents as the same sister albums but to me they’re totally different. Folklore is more like a lullaby that fully embraces you, some safe space to rest, while Evermore more mature and wise one, with much more depressive mood.

One thing about Joe alwyn that, doesn't matter if you hate him or not, deserves recognition is that he'll always use the fact people are watching him to bring awareness.
Taylor's first birthday since the breakup? Posts about Palestine
Taylor just made a bunch of playlists essentially lightly trashing him? Again posting about important issues.
He knows when people care enough to check his page and he'll use it to bring awareness, something Taylor Swift would never

why the hell are all joe alwyn stans full on taylor swift haters?
maybe respect the woman who;
never spoken publicly about the breakup (just like joe hasn't either)
is doing her JOB as a songwriter who writes about her personal life
and who hasn't allowed the media to create false rumours about her and joe (when her publicist shot down deuxmoi, who was making up hurtful rumours about taylor and joe)
Because Taylor fuels her fans rage against Joe. She may not publicly say anything, but they take her “Easter eggs” with her songs to mean something about Joe. Taking her surprise songs and running with rumors he cheated.
I also just have never liked Taylor as a person even before she decided to be petty about Joe. If you can’t see the shit she does- then you are blind.
Also anon- if Swifties can drag the living shit out of Joe, why can’t Joe fans talk shit about Taylor?

Taylor has been lying on Joe since You’re Losing Me (Important Thread)
I’ve been confident in this theory since Midnights, but didn’t know how to spread it. Taylor is now blatantly lying about Joe and rewriting history. SHE was the one who didn’t want to get married, and Joe broke up with her over it. She chose fame over marriage, and the evidence is all over her music.
Ever since I heard “Mine” I instinctively knew Taylor was afraid of marriage. It’s the classic child-of-divorce case. “You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes.” / “Brace myself for the goodbye ‘cause it’s all I’ve ever known.”
Her fear of marriage continues throughout her discography. Don’t let “Lover” and “Paper Rings” fool you—those were false promises to Joe at the start of their relationship. Listen to “champagne problems,” a song she and Joe co-wrote. What couple writes a song about breaking up because the girl is terrified of marriage 4 years into their relationship? Why, one where that’s happening, of course. “Your Midas touch on the Chevy door,” aka how she always references Joe turning things to gold. And don’t forget “Renegade,” a song where in the music video SHE is the one anxiously staring out the window being told to “open the blinds.” (“Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything or do you just not want to?”, the lyric referring to Joe asking for marriage) This was a song written by Taylor from Joe’s perspective at the time. “I tapped on your window on your darkest night” (referring to Rep era) / “Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night.” … “And then you squeeze my hand as I’m about to leave.” (Joe’s POV) / “It’s on your face, don’t walk away, I need to say…” Taylor was the one always blowing up on him and then apologizing, as illustrated in Afterglow, The Great War, and most obviously her post-breakup behavior. Joe was NOT the volatile one of the two (also supported by articles released by her team, stating Joe’s personality was “great for Taylor” because “he is very calm”).
Then, just look at Midnights. The Bejeweled music video (which Taylor wrote and directed) is the clearest thing. A video all about choosing pop-stardom over a ring from a prince? While she and her boyfriend are having marriage disagreements? Hmmm. Interesting. Seriously, just go watch the intro to that video and tell me Taylor was the one fighting to get married behind the scenes.
Midnights lyrics: “He wanted a bride, I was making my own name. Chasing that fame.” (a person who WANTS to get married would NOT be writing this song!!!) “All they keep asking me is if I’m gonna be your bride. The only kind of girl they see is a one night or a wife.” “No deal the 1950s shit they want from me. I just wanna stay in that lavender haze” “I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser.” “I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money. She thinks I left them in the will.” (accompanied by elaborate scene displaying family-related anxieties in music video)
This is someone who is terrified of marriage and being an adult. I believe she launched herself into a fame-hug to avoid confronting her issues with Joe at this late stage in their relationship. After he broke up with her, she realized how deep of a mistake she made during the Eras Tour. Hence, the big lie in “You’re Losing Me” (which was written THEN, in 2023, conveniently dropped during the Matty Healy controversy) and her daring him to “say something” about the lie. (False God lyric: “I can’t talk to you when you’re like this, staring out the window like I’m not your favorite town.” When they fight, he was always the one ignoring her craziness.) And soon after, her peculiar surprise song choices on June 23: “Paper Rings” (“I’d marry you with paper rings”) and “If This Was A Movie” (“If this was a movie, you’d be here by now”).
The initial breakup article by People (Tree Paine’s mouthpiece) even outlines this story. “According to multiple sources, Swift and Alwyn had been ‘talking about marriage as recently as a few months ago.’ But at the end of the day, the couple wasn’t ready for a future together. ‘Taylor didn’t see them working out in the long run,’ says the insider.” This was before she wrote YLM, trying to provoke him, and now she will be driving it further with this new album I’m certain she wrote during 2023, NOT 2 years ago like she and Jack are trying to push. Her having Jack drop YLM’s “2021 date,” and then liking that tweet implying Sweet Nothing was not about Joe (when it was clearly about Joe)… she’s rewriting the narrative. You can’t trust a word she says.

I don't understand, what's going on with Taylor and Matt trash being a couple? Could you explain to me?
nothing is really going on at the moment tbh, cuz they broke up a pretty long while ago, but the issue is the album (if that's what you're referring to) and taylor swift herself.
[will add sources and more stuff when I find the links and if I realise I missed something out, cuz this is a general thing based off of memory]
Context: dating history
Basically she and matty had been friends for a few years (there are rumors of them hooking up ig in 1989 era maybe, but I don't really care enough to believe shit like that). Apparently he had also been pining for her (according to stuff he said in interviews and tweets) for years, but again, you can still chalk it up to rumors if you wanna.
The thing is that post her breakup with joe alwyn, she started dating him (in like april I think) [there had been dating rumors of them since 2014 tho, and again in March 2023] and the fandom kinda got divided.
Here is the link to their entire timeline
Context: what matty healy did
Matty healy (you prolly know this) is basically racist, sexist, antisemitic, homophobic and God knows what else I have missed out or not been aware of. He did shit like doing the nazi gesture on stage, mocking asian accents, tastelessly making fun of ice spice on her race and bodyshaming her, laughing and basically confirming that he watches violent rape porn of black women on a site that is known to be highly problematic and force their actors (gender neutral) to do things they dont consent to (there was also an actress who was assaulted or something but im not informed on it). Even when he was called out on stuff like this, he accused people (who were poc, btw) of overreacting.
Context: taylor and activism
Taylor had also, in the past (lover era, and miss Americana the doc) had talked about how she had been too quiet about political issues and politics itself for too long, that she understands her influence and power in society, and that she "needs to be on the right side of history" and even specifics such as that she thinks it's spineless to go on stage and say "happy pride month" and not acknowledge the political oppression that queers in USA were facing (something about a bill or the republican party idk man I'm not american, i dont remember but i did research when i watched the doc tho). She has claimed she was gonna be clear about where she stands (many republicans had considered her to be one, and many thought she's conservative or something, but she was always quiet about it, until the lover era). However, she just stopped that activism after the lover era, and went back to being quiet on where she stands (I've seen many swifties refer to the lover era as the activism era) and hasn't spoken about anything substantial really. She did some things like post a black square with 13 hearts during blm, and stuff that every celeb who wasn't openly a pos did, but that's kinda it. Even as a self proclaimed feminist, she didn't speak up on issues such as roe v wade, or about an issue regarding drag queens despite having them in yntcd, or talking about trans/queer rights until she was in a blue state (im not an American, I just like to keep up a little with stuff in usa cuz it's always up in my face sadly, and thus i cant be specific, but anyways, correct me if I'm wrong, or if I missed something).
So even after saying she'll be vocal, she was just... not. And that's basically her on politics or giving a shit about minority communities.
Context: Fandom's reaction
Swifties were extremely disappointed that taylor CHOSE to associate with a man like this, and there were fans calling her out, and she received backlash, too.
Most of these swifties were poc (myself included) and they felt hurt that an artist that they not just supported and developed such a deep connection with, but also financially supported for years, would have such disregard for them. Not just was she dating him, but she kept saying things such as "I have never been happier in all aspects of my life" or saying "I love you" or "uk who you are" in romantic songs on the tour, which was just adding insult to injury. She also did a collab with ice spice (which was completely out of nowhere, and the collab itself seemed badly made and rushed), which fans and others speculated to be a pr cover up for the fact that matty healy had mocked her (many ppl also believed that it was too quick for it to be a pr cover tho).
Now, in the fandom, when poc swifties were calling her out on dating mh, (mostly) white swifties started harassing poc swifties for doing so, or saying that they are hindering with her happiness or some bs about it being "just a fling" (again, myself included). They said it's the same as seeing a friend get out of a long-term relationship and make bad dating choices, and poc swifties should let it go (as if taylor is our close personal friend). In a mostly white fandom, poc swifties felt alienated and sidelined.
Ofc, taylor never addressed any of this backlash, and after she broke up with him, there were articles saying that sources say (which mostly means her pr team atp) that her breakup had nothing to do with his controversies or behavior.
The album release (lyrics, references and reaction)
Now, with the release of ttpd, contrary to what most of the fandom believed, most of the songs on both the albums are believed to be (and heavily hinted on) about matty healy. These include 4 songs- "ttpd", "but daddy I love him", "I can fix him (no really I can)", and "guilty as sin?"
Ttpd, the title track, talks about mh being "a tattooed golden retriever" (wtf) and about him love-bombing her, and her pining after him, thinking about marriage and shit. But daddy I love him and I can fix him, are basically that no one supported her dating decision and she's claiming that she loves him oh so goddamn much, but more importantly, her talking about her fans' reactions. Specifically, describing her poc fans to be "vipers" and "judgemental creeps" who hate her and them being hurt as "bitching and moaning", and basically took the side of the (white) fans who defended her, indirectly. She described his racist bs as "crazy" and said shit like she could "handle a dangerous man." She also has another song, "Guilty as sin?" and while I genuinely don't give a fuck about what she chooses to do in her private life, unless it is problematic, it is about her fantasizing about being with that racist man while being in a long term relationship with joe alwyn. She sings about how she wants him and wants to be with him... in multiple ways, iykyk. Again, out of context, I love this song so much, but that doesn't erase the context, right?
She also has a song "I hate it here" where she says the following lines:
"My friends used to play a game where
We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead of this
I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting married off for the highest bid"
And while there are many reasons why this line by itself is racist (romantisization of a time that was extremely shitty to many communities, most of which she is not a part of, showing herself to be "oh look I'm so woke I still remember the bad things even when I romanticize bad eras in history" which is something you expect from an ignorant white high schooler maybe, not a 34 y/o billionaire who claims to be well-read, etc.) but taylor swift herself saying these is adding insult to injury cuz she has shown time and time again she has no problem with racism (she kept quiet when antonia gentry, a black actress, received hate and racist threats by swifties because of a line BY NETFLIX that taylor didn't like, and she shouldn't ofc, but it wasn't the actress' fault), or associating herself with them (matty healy, for example). It is hypocritical to write something like that after writing an album about pining after a man and his "dangerousness," which is just bigotry. Way to romanticise racism, sexism, and antisemitism, taylor.
Even now, after listening to the album, she clearly doesn't like mh anymore, NOT because of his actions, but because he broke her heart, showing that she still enables and is okay with everything he did.
And that's kind of it (ig) about her and matty healy. I'm not really sure exactly which part you wanted to know, so this is just a gist of it all. Hope it helps :)
