"the crown is stained but you're the real queen"... the heaviness of a crown stained with the 'blood' of the women before, the ones they've 'killed off' once they've grown bored of them, placed upon your head with the insistence you're the one true ruler, better than anything that's come before, and that the story will be different with you, no real (it isn't going to be different)...

imagine writing something as good as the prophecy and deciding it can go on the b-side

How Phil drew an extra little heart on Brett/Roy’s tile…stop ❤️😭😭😭

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me….

Additionally, people who buy Taylor-adjacent artists’ RSD vinyl titles (Sabrina, Olivia, Maisie…any of the new pop girlies) just to try and trade it for a signed Taylor vinyl or previous Taylor RSD release…I’m literally in your walls I’m so serious. EVIL.

People posting in discord about how they’re “starting to like the songs” on the maisie peters rsd record they bought just because people told them it might be good, having never heard Maisie before….meanwhile im fighting for my life every hour to find a copy under $130… when I’ve been clocked into Maisie since Trying….

The batshit thing about the R/K shippers hating on Jamie is that Keeley and Roy both love Jamie. The haters have completely ignored every character beat and growth and instead focused on "het couple is always end game" and got pissed when that didn't happen because it turns out their characters are more nuanced than that.

they mischaracterize all three of them to an insane degree because they for some reason feel the constant need to prove that R/K are the healthiest most well adjusted couple in the history of television and Jamie possesses absolutely zero threat to their relationship whatsoever because they both are merely 'putting up with him' at best or secretly hate him at worst (all of which are laughable claims to anyone who has watched the show with their eyes open, and possesses even the most meager analysis skills in their brains).

I also think the way they talk about R/K is often so reductive if not genuinely gross (in addition to just being like, generally of a heteronormative flavor)...and that's the ship they're meant to LIKE. like there were people yesterday screaming about how "Roy would NEVER share Keeley!!!1!!!" and it's like...well Keeley isn't a toy they're passing around or hogging, so jot that down. She's a person with her own agency, who isn't with... get this... EITHER ONE OF THEM at the end of the series!!! Yeah, that includes ROY!!! So Roy at the moment really has zero say in whether she wants to fuck Jamie again or not, lmao. she's every bit as capable of getting back together with him as she is Roy post canon. and if they were together, opening their relationship to someone else would be...a mutual decision...because Keeley is a whole character of her own and not just a prop for your male fav...

And then there's the whole "well we ship something that's actually CANON and therefore BETTER, whereas R/J & RJK shippers are just weaving mystical delusions because they're ~desperate for representation~ or whatever. Which is apparently why the Apple TV account and even the actors should never, ever so much as allude to RJK again, because it diminishes their "real and correct" couple. Again, NEITHER PAIRING IS EVEN ENDGAME CANON.

And finally, all the little ways they constantly try to mask the fact that they just hate Jamie because he's in the way of their ship with "real analysis" that boils down to such riveting takes as: "Jamie = Irredeemable and Bad because he hurt Keeley three seasons ago" "Roy = baby boy who has never hurt Keeley ever in his life and is perfect for her in every which way. oh? here's a canonical scene where Roy is canonically hurting Keeley? WELL, that's just bad writing. OOC, that is. the writers just suck. my favorites cannot be flawed"

anyway...I love roykeeley in the very specific way they exist in my head but i really need the r/k diehards to like... step back and accept the fact that they canonically BROKE UP and are not inherently perfect and better than any other ship between flawed characters. go read fanfiction and imagine the ending of your choosing to your heart's content, like the rest of us, and stop targeting social media managers jumping on the latest silly internet meme. sorry for the rant it's just....so fucking irritating

My hottest ttpd take is that I don’t think “tattooed golden retriever” is That Bad. Like i understand it as there’s a person with tattooed > acting like a golden retriever > tattoos are a uniquely human thing > tattooed implies that it’s a doglike human. Do I love it as a lyric? No. Do I think it’s proof that Taylor doesn’t know what a metaphor is (like some users COUGH COUGH TWITTER)? Also no. Ttpd has some of Taylor’s best and worst writing imo (1830s without the racists comes to mind) but tattooed golden retriever isn’t it.

one thing i've learned after spending half my life as a swiftie™️ is that what the twitter gallery is always going to do with every release cycle is pull out the three lyrics deemed the "worst" on the album, circulate them around non-stop completely out of context, and use them to attempt to invalidate her entire capability as a songwriter, lol. It's particularly goofy to focus on three lyrics and deem the entire album awful because of them when it's an album with THIRTY ONE SONGS. 🙄

...I also agree with you about the line in question. Like is it her best ever lyric? no... but dare I say it genuinely works in the context of the song? Because it's about some pretentious asshole trying to convince her they're both exceptional because of their suffering/their suffering makes great art so they just need to put up with it... meanwhile they've spent the day having sex and sitting around chatting about charlie puth. it's an intentional contrast between "we're the most tortured poets to every poeticize" and "okay but actually, we're just idiots like everybody else" also the song is bop so who tf even cares 🤷‍♀️

mutuals you would sit on a power line like little birds with

'I personally don't like this ship because I prefer this other ship' = a normal attitude to have/thing to say on your own blog/account/spaces

'I prefer this other ship so I must prove that it is MORALLY SUPERIOR to your ship and also the ONE CORRECT SHIP and you all are therefore WRONG and also STUPID for shipping that other thing, which I will now be reminding you of constantly. Also, as evidence for why I am right I will be slandering and mischaracterizing all of your favs <3' = please work on yourself
