Summary Poem by Taylor Swift

In Summation

At this hearing

I stand before my fellow members

of the Tortured Poets Department

With a summary of my findings

A debrief, a detailed rewinding

For the purpose of warning

For the sake of reminding

As you might all unfortunately recall

I had been struck with a case of a restricted humanity

Which explains my plea here today of temporary i n s a n i t y

You see, the pendulum swings

Oh, the chaos it brings

Leads the caged beast to do the most curious things

Lovers spend years denying what's ill fated

Resentment rotting away galaxies we created

Stars placed and glued meticulously by hand next to the ceiling fan

Tried wishing on comets.

Tried dimming the shine.

Tried to orbit his planet.

Some stars never align.

And in one conversation,

I tore down the whole sky.

Spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues

Then a crash from the skylight bursting through

Something old, someone hallowed, who told me he could be brand new

And so I was out of the oven and into the microwave

Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave

How gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower

Swinging a sword he could barely lift

But loneliness struck at that fateful hour

Low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips

He never even scratched the surface of me.

None of them did.

“In summation, it was not a love affair!”

I screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk

It was a mutual manic phase.

It was self harm.

It was house and then cardiac arrest.

A smirk creeps onto this poet's face

Because it's the worst men that I write best.

And so I enter into evidence

My tarnished coat of arms

My muses, acquired like bruises

My talismans and charms

The tick, tick, tick of love bombs

My veins of pitch black ink

Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department

all of the characters have smth abt them that makes them attractive but Morgan Kyne is like sickeningly attractive. The most conventionally attractive, borderline angelic, looking pretty boy. He’s the type to be almost irritatingly humble about it too.

He’s not insecure by any means, if he is he certainly hides it well, but there's a glint in his eye when he's being self deprecating, like he knows consciously or maybe subconsciously that he is indeed very beautiful.

“I still look like shit, mind you, but I'm up“ he says, and hes got the gall to wear the softest tired smile and his eyes crinkle when a breathy laughs escapes him, with the prettiest beauty marks dotted across his stupidly smooth skin while the golden backlight from his apartment illuminates him in a warm, halo glow. Seer Obscura makes an earnest effort not to roll their eyes when they process what he says because of course he would say something like that. A laugh, they will not give to him for the sheer sin of acting as sweetly and as earnestly as he had been that night. And still a smile slips from their lips, maybe its a chuckle. The offer of a breakfast only to find he can't make anything more than a heaping bowl of cereal is one reminder that despite his ethereal features, he is, infact, still very human (thats almost worse isnt it?)

I’m sure this discussion happened before I even listened to TMA, but Martin 100% threw out “my feelings for Jon” as an attempt to lead Elias away from talking about his mother, right

This is Carole Horst’s explanation for 2x08’s costuming:

tumblr.com/chicken-wayng/762333534954405888/the-facade-thats-some-odd-wording-coming

It really puts into perspective the show’s blatant anti Alicent agenda whilst simultaneously pushing their Rhaenicent bias.

The only acceptable Alicent in the writers’ minds is one who is reduced to her bare bones, stripped of everything she’s accomplished and achieved.

So here Alicent stands, “humbled” (Sara Hess’ own words) and powerless, nothing more than what she was 20 years ago; the dutiful handmaiden living in Rhaenyra Targaryen’s shadow.

I think it is possible to enjoy both Alicent as a character and ship Rhaenicent, but I don’t think we should hold our breath expecting the show to feel the same way.

Disheartening to see how they’ve talked about Alicent (saying she needs to be humbled or portrayed as humbled and powerless - because really??)

I’m going to hope s3 is different to how they seemed to handle both rhaenicent/ alicent in s2.

Because rhaenicent - whilst it has always had selfish aspects towards rhaenyra, a part of the interesting dynamic between them is watching rhaenyra recognise her selfishness/ or privilege and providing empathy and understanding to alicent- the selfishness shouldn’t come from the writers room specifically wanting to focus the relationship around rhaenyra to take away from alicent, it should come from character development and growth - to put them both in the light of being able to understand each other even if they’ve lived such different lives, even if they’re being selfish. to be able to always love each other and look past these differences, to remember how close they were and how much they’re still intertwined all these years later

and it’s not that i didnt enjoy the rhaenicent or alicent because ill always love both, im just nervous to how they’re going to deal with it in the future. Again you cant have one without the other when it comes to alicent and rhaenicent, character assassination of alicent equals assassination of rhaenicent too.

Now personally, and I know many disagree and that’s okay, I don’t actually count 2x08 as character assassination for alicent, I do think it could’ve been handled better though - I just hope that all characters and relationships in future are handled with care and not rushed etc

Adamandi fandom I made a thing of how I think the adamandi characters would sign their name

[weirdstrangeandawful]

Whumpee's in a bad way and Caretaker's tasked with getting they're extremely messy life in order. It's fine though, Caretaker likes this sort of work.

Except so many of the contacts in Whumpee's phone or address book are named extremely ambiguously or not named at all... And the only way for Caretaker to sort this out is to call them. Each and every one.

trying to read a fic you’ve been told you would like when the writing style rubs you the wrong way

[childish-husk]

Hate it when you're parents abuse you in such a specific way that when you look for tips to identify said abuse you think you're fucking crazy, because you can't relate to some things people talk about because things like manipulation and gaslighting are so normalized to you and done in such a way that you don't even realize that's what it is.
