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

[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.

⸻  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.

People who don't think Paul Rudd is a major dilf.

Rossi and his fans

People who only sleep with one pillow.

Anyone who didn't memorize a whole movie after watching it every night for 3 months.

Anyone who genuinely likes ryder or puck from glee.

People who think that katy perry isn't single handedly the secret to immortality and being hot.
