[dearreader]

i’m thinking about dear reader again and how the first half is 1989 taylor kind of just having her life fall apart but she was this role model to everyone and couldn’t show it

and then we get taylor currently in the second verse with advice that’s better like “bend when you can snap when you have too” (know which battles to pick), “the greatest if luxuries is your secret” (i explain it in this ask i sent to jamie’s blog when she was talking about it), but the thing i’m just most stuck on is “dear reader when you aim at the devil make sure you don’t miss” cause that line is clearly about JM from taylor dubbing him that title in WCS but there’s so much more to it than just “when you aim, make sure you don’t miss” because taylor has said “i am very aware of how different my life would be if i wasn’t famous” and i just know she’s probably aware of just how much damage JM did to her career because of dear john.

(while i have been a swiftie for awhile i did not join until beginning of red/end of speak now so some of what i’m going to say is what i’ve heard second hand)

like after dear john was released JM was upset about what taylor was saying about him and spoke on it in interviews about how it humiliated him. but instead of him reflecting he took that anger out on taylor and that then spiraled into the infamous “taylor only writes songs about breakups” “taylor can’t keep a man” “when will taylor write a song about her being the problem” which lasted through most of the RED era and is a big cause into taylor being so media cautious and conscious during 1989 and her trying to be perfect. and that then led to all the fall out (calcium hoebag, kimye phone call, fair weathered friends leaving her, etc). which then led to joe and we know the rest.

but all of that came about because taylor dated JM, wrote a song about how he hurt her, and him turning that against her. like she missed her shot and it spiraled her life out of control.

so having the “dear reader when you aim at the devil” bit in the current taylor is also her being more conscious of what battle to pick and fight, but it also indicates she wants revenge. she wants the people who hurt her to pay the toll and she’s warning us not to attempt it until we know it’s the right shot…

idk i’m just thinking thoughts again about dear reader cause it makes me insane

[corneliaavenue]

There are a lot of wrong takes about what Taylor's songs are about, but nothing will be worse than the person who said Bigger than the Whole Sky was about the abortion Taylor had with John Mayer's baby

[please-picturemeintheweeds]

As much as I despise John Mayer and wish I could blame everything on him, he tragically had nothing to do with Taylor not playing Sparks Fly, Speak Now, or Better Than Revenge on tour. Each day I wake up and mourn.

Dear John

What a masterpiece, possibly one of the best songs she has ever written. I am not big on the WiUwiUUWii guitar in the beginning tho, please don’t cancel me if that is an unpopular opinion. But this song is so fucking powerful. Oh my god. I read this to my therapist (not because I was in a relationship with an inappropriate age gab, I wasn’t, I just think the lyrics are awesome and I need everyone to hear them) also the way she name-dropped j*hn m*yer without namedropping him was genius and not cheap at all, if you disagree get a less basic name. Even tho j*hn m*yer is my nemesis we will leave him be for now because I absolutely agree with Taylor that this should not be about her exes. It’s like some of you care more about them than about the actual music. Usually, I also do feel a little bit bad for those guys because obviously she writes about her subjective experience and I think it is kind of unfair to attack someone you don’t know over that, especially when it happened a decade ago, if someone was a bad boyfriend to her, she gets to be mad, but not us. I however truly believe j*hn is a bad person and I think anyone can be mad at him for that, I just also believe, despite all of his whining, he wants us to attack him, why else would he complain about lover lyrics like this whole fandom doesn’t despise him? Also, Taylor knows that everyone leaves their Christmas lights up until January, it’s about appreciating the mundane things in a relationship because some exes made her feel like the floor could fall through at any second and every blue sky could turn to rain JOHN. He just needs a piece of her success huh? It’s giving bloodsucker, fame fucker (I know he was like super successful when they dated, idc, not to me). Soo, I guess I did not leave him be… Sorry, the man is just soo irritating to me, I also don’t think he makes good music, my only piece of evidence for that is that once I was buying shoes and listening to speak now (the album, but I had also just reached that song in the album) and I took my earphones out and thought the music in the store was horrible and I usually don’t think stuff like that, but then the chorus came on and it said something about somebodies body being a wonderland and I know that that’s a j*hn m*yer song because emma stone screams about it in friends with benefits. So I am assuming that was his song and I hated it before I could be biased against him (I was so happy when I left the store and could finally put my earphones back in and Dear John came on) I also despise the song he wrote about Taylor, I once saw a video of him performing it and it sounded awful. Anyway sorry for that rent, but I will now forget that this man exists and return to Taylors incredible music again.

John Mayer guitar face question mark?

The dude looks weird when he plays guitar (TW John Mayer)

This is what I meant

[nancydrewwouldnever]

Was MK ever problematic? I thought I read that she was cheating or something.

Okay, for me, no I don't think she was problematic, not in the way Jenny was, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure many will disagree with me. First, I never heard anything about her cheating. People love throwing that word around though, about both her and Jess Biel. I know in 2007 she dumped him after only a short time to chase after John Mayer, but dumping is not cheating. I never heard anything about her cheating in 2012-13 (but I did hear a lot of stories of him getting other women's phone numbers when he was in Cleveland filming TWS). Then, of course, the cheating rumors in 2015 are not with her, but him.

I think the biggest problem people have with her are the pap walks. A lot of people have this idea that she was the one always calling paps and he was an unwilling participant. No, I don't believe that. If they pap walked, he was willing to do so. They wouldn't have happened without his say-so in some way. In the same time period, there are also a lot of solo pap walks from him, so he wasn't adverse to them at all.

tw csa

the beginning of my grooming was around the time taylor met john mayer and the last time my groomer touched me was 2 days before jake gym and hall missed taylors birthday to cheat on her in 2010

so that's why would've could've should've hits me so hard, cause it's been the same amount of time for me and her since it happened, and we're both equally as fucking pissed off about it now. i wish more than anything that i was a bit less fucked up and i would be if he didn't touch me. and most of my grooming took place in a church, the first time he kissed me was under a stain glass window, he forced me onto my knees multiple times. that song is a perfect retelling of the shit i went through and it makes me sob for her. she wouldn't have written it if she didn't go through something so similar and so many other girls are relating cause it happened to them too and it breaks my heart. men are so disgusting

this man needs to be locked up for his crimes

⸻  MILO VENTIMIGLIA. HE/HIM / have you ever heard of DREAMING WITH A BROKEN HEART by john mayer, well, it describes MARCO RICCI to a tee! the 43 year old, and OWNER AND HEAD CHEF AT RICCI’S was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say  HE is more untrusting or more DETERMINED instead? anyway, they remind me of early morning wake-ups and late nights with a glass of wine, careful precision, an empty bed the sheets already cold, worn in leather jackets and sneaking a cigarette out back in the freezing cold maybe you’ll bump into them soon!

time in notting hill ; 17 years (& 6 months in 1997)

tw: cancer, death

ABOUT.

Name: Marco Andrea Ricci Age: Forty-three DoB: December 31st 1979 Occupation: Owner and Head Chef at Ricci’s Sexual/romantic orientation: Bisexual/biromantic Birthplace: Santa Barbara, California Current Location: Notting Hill, London, UK Time in Notting Hill: 6 months in 1997, returned March 2006

Born and raised in Santa Barbara to a very Italian father and a not so Italian mother.

His entire family was completely obsessed with food, that’s literally how his parents met.

Marco, much to his father’s dismay, wasn’t interested when he was a kid and was in love with the ocean.

He spent every day on the beach, started surfing as soon as he was old enough to, and took a keen interest in the local marine life.

His family up and moved to London 6 months before his high school graduation and opened a restaurant in Little Italy. To say Marco was pissed was an understatement. He basically refused to make an effort and got to know literally no one during that time.

Headed back to the US and went to California State to study marine biology. Some bitch broke his heart while he was there and he’s had commitment issues ever since.

Next was San Diego and a job at Seaworld for 5 years, which is when he basically became Henry Roth from 50 First Dates.

Got called back to London by his mom to take over the running of the family restaurant ‘cause his dad was sick and his siblings were too young to. Didn’t want to but couldn’t say no to the most important woman in his life sobbing down the phone. Did that for around 6 months.

Took a job at the Sea Life London Aquarium .

Realised he actually was interested in cooking after all and his dad basically became his mentor for several years. He did some business management courses at a local college while his dad was teaching him everything he knew, fully intent on opening his own place.

In around 2014 he opened Ricci’s in Notting Hill, a high end Italian restaurant, and basically put his entire life into the place.

Attempted and failed rather epicly to have a relationship again during a visit to see family in Italy, so gave up again pretty quickly.

In 2018 Ricci’s was awarded a Michelin star.

Early 2019 his dad got sick again, but this time there was nothing that could be done. Cancer, caught much too late that resulted in his death around 8 months later.

Marco’s currently trying to put the whole family back together again… while working himself into the ground because he doesn’t know how to do anything else. He’s been determined to earn another star, but family issues are definitely getting in the way of any kind of momentum to work toward that.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

Younger Siblings (0/2): Between 28 and 35.

I really tried this time: Aurelia Zhang

omg midnights thoughts? 👀

@gaybabylegs I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER TO SEE THIS / ANSWER! (I'm so happy to see your profile pic :')

ok so I got that .001% alert from Spotify for listening to the new album on 10/21 it was so insane. I recently "converted" (brainwashed) a few friends into being Swifties so they stayed up and listed to the album with me at Midnight (well, 9PM my time).

I was weirdly apprehensive going in because we haven't had POP TAYLOR since Lover and I love folklore and evermore but this really knocked it out of the park for me.

I've been having a hard time listening to anything BUT Midnights. With every listen I have new favorites.

A BREAKDOWN:

Lavender Haze: the amount of times I scream sing "GET IT OFF MY DESK" since hearing this?? so great

Maroon: THATS A REAL FUCKING LEGACY

Anti-Hero: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE (in a good way)

Snow on the Beach: I go back and forth on this one, and admit I sometimes skip it only because I want to listen to TOYOK

You're On Your Own Kid: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE+++ this may be her most lyrically personal "track 5", it's my favorite

Midnight Rain: JUMP SCARE-- jk, this one really grew on me once I started absorbing the lyrics... and pretending that it was THiddles

Question...? : I love listening to this as if Taylor is asking me questions like I'm being interrogated

Vigilante Shit: I can't wait to see this performed live, this could've been a reputation vault track

Bejeweled: NICE! (also the tik-tok dance going around I always wiggle my fingers now listening to it)

Labyrinth: a grower, but it's so ethereal and pretty and beautiful

Sweet Nothing: I can't wait to hear this live TOO it'll be so lovely on piano all stripped down

Mastermind: EAR WORM, I feel like I learned these lyrics the fastest. The beginning sounds like a phone alert I love it

HITS DIFFERENT: BECAUSE YES I GOT THE TARGET VERSION! This is like New Romantic's big sister and it's so so so good it might be in my top 10 favorite TW song now.

The Great War: underrated on people's lists, such an understated great love song

Bigger Than the Whole Sky: 😭

Paris: This is another pretend conversation I'm having with Taylor

High Infidelity: if I have to thank Calvin Harris for one thing it's inspiring this song

Glitch: SUPER underrated but fun but also another jump scare

Would've Could've Should've: John Mayer... it's on sight

Dear Reader: My least listened to song just because I get to the 3AM songs and want to start over already lol

now I just need to get tickets tomorrow 👀

Been trying for a few months now to compile free versions of books on HIV/AIDS and unfortunately haven't had much luck yet, but I'm not giving up. When I have a good amount I'll make a masterpost, but since its World AIDS Day, here is a pdf of "HIV/AIDS: A Very Short Introduction". It won't tell you everything, but it's a good place to start!

Anyone with pdfs they're willing to share of any other reliable books on HIV/AIDS- please message me! I'm trying to compile a central folder with as many as I can in for easy public access.

"if I was some paint did I splatter on a promising grown man // and if I was a child did it matter if you got to wash your hands" is SO important to me as a pair of lines.

Mayers response to Dear John being that he "didn't deserve it" and it was "humiliating" always made me see red (haha) because. you don't get to treat anyone, especially not someone half your age, like that and then act like you're a victim when she's honest about how much it hurt! Her "paint" splattering on him- staining him with her art- when he was so "promising", he carries that stain on his reputation to this day.

And then that second line. He shouldn't be able to wash that stain out!!! She was a child and he took so much from her, right down to (as she says later in the song) her girlhood. He wanted to absolve himself of what happened in that relationship, but that's not a privilege he has earned, because he tore her to pieces, and she was only a child. It's been 13 years, she's now the age he was when they dated, and she's still feeling that pain. She's still grieving. She can't wash her hands of it, even though she's the innocent party. Why the fuck should he be able to?
