It feels like Post Malone is a male author pen name/alter ego (at least when he's in her head, the TPD, and at the typewriter).

OLD HABITS DIE SCREAMING
"We're going to be exploring the feelings of depression that often lace their way through my songs. In times like these, I'll write a song because I feel lonely, or hopeless, and writing a song feels like the only way to process that intensity of an emotion. And while these things are really, really hard to go through, I often feel like when I'm either listening to songs or writing songs that deal with this intensity of loss and hopelessness, usually that's in the phase where I'm close to getting past that feeling."

my most tinhat taylor theory is that she wrote the first draft of all too well (the one in the lover diary not the tour rehearsal thing) the same night she touched the heat lamp

Ttpd (OG verison) is the most linear of any of Taylor’s albums and truly an album that needs to be heard in order. Which tracks because it’s not just a compilation of thematically-related stories like so many records are, but a collection of songs that tell the step by step story of a time period in her life. listening to it straight through is literally like listening to a book and each song is a chapter. As someone who is usually a fan of shuffle and playlists this might be one album I always listen to in order
#Yes I keep trying to listen to just one song on repeat and then am like nooo wait I need to hear fortnight first#And TTPD#And all the other ones#THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT

anyway one cool production thing i’m loving about so long london is that during “you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues i died on the altar waiting for the proof you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days” the background loses the beat and is not there but then during “and im just getting color back to my face” it picks back up sorta like a heart coming back and beating again

Taylor’s been on tumblr for four months and we still have not gotten any kind of acknowledgement or explanation of this gif:
WELL I DEMAND ANSWERS.

the manuscript ending the album on the utter jawdrop moment that neither of the muses of the actual album were the first men to fuck her up with promises of marriage and babies, and that first heartbreak so long ago laid the scene for the woman she would become and the ways she would approach love and how we all watched her life like scenes in a show but she kept coming back to the manuscript of the first torrid affair that ruined her, to bookend an album about two love affairs that destroyed her utterly in almost the exact same way, because all her muses are acquired like bruises........ it's bone-chilling
