Notes From My Heart To Yours
Tumblr media
(Photo edit by me)
Alexa, play the entirety of Taylor Swift "The Tortured Poets Department" album
It's another one of those sentimental evenings when I decide to write letters and notes to the people that I consider to be my virtual family. I consider them more than my virtual friends, they are my virtual sisters considering that I talk to most of them almost everyday and they make me so happy and they also make my stay in the mostly negative social space bearable.
To tell a little history, we connected virtually because of one person who goes by the name of Taylor Zakhar Perez. It's still surreal to me that one person could bring you a virtual family that you could love and appreciate with your whole heart and soul.
I have selected 12 of them that will get special notes on here, but know that I love each and every one of my TZP Squad friends very much!
----------------------------------------
Mari (@luvhsdid)
Mari, my girl, you are one of the sweetest and most angelic people that I have ever come to meet virtually. You are a strong girl and you have such a passion for the things and people that you love and support. My dearest angel, never let anyone dim your shine. You are such a bright star and I am so grateful to Taylor for giving us the chance to interact virtually. He got you first, but he got me eventually so that's the universe's way of bringing us together. I hope that I could meet you personally in the future so that I could give you the biggest hug just to show you how much I love and appreciate you. I love you so much, my dearest sweet girl!
Bia (@alwaysbiiaa)
Bia, the closest person I could get to my love Taylor! Gosh, I still can't believe that there's someone that I can talk to who sounds like him. How lucky am I? But to be fair, anyone who has you in his/her life is lucky because you are such a sweetheart and I love and adore you so much. Keep being your authentic and crazy self, nothing wrong about that. We all need to be crazy about something or someone in this lifetime. I'm forever thankful that I have you in my life albeit virtually. I love our little conversations via replies on Twitter and to be honest, that voice message you sent me, I'll forever keep and treasure it. Sending you all my love, my dear! I hope to get to meet you eventually.
Lee (@LeonieWoolf)
Lee, the mom figure in the fandom, heavens know how thankful I am for you. The Only Natural Diamonds magazine that flew across oceans from your country to my hands is still one of my most treasured possessions to this day. I'm always thankful for the positive energy that you bring to the fandom, you are such a calming presence and I really appreciate that. Thank you for being one of the first people to accept me when I was new in the fandom months ago and I will forever be in awe of your accepting personality. Never let anyone hinder you from doing the things that you love and adore. You do you, live your life unapologetically and I'm thankful for you forever. Sending tons of love and appreciation from my heart to yours.

Continue being the sweetie that you are and always keep us updated about Taylor because I am one of the people who gets so excited when you post an update about him. Sending tons of love and good vibes your way, my dear!
May (@acciomei)
May, one of my first TZP followers on Twitter, I treasure you. I know these recent negative times may be hard but hey, I'm still happy to have you here. Know that I'm always here for you if you need to talk, I'm willing to listen to you. We may not interact as often as we used to now, but that is totally understandable. Know that I'll still be here when the fandom sphere is a bit more positive for you. I love and adore you so much, my dear! My world is a bit more positive because of you and I'll forever be thankful for that.
Nae (@dksnavely)
Nae, heavens know that you are one of the people I constantly talk to on Twitter. I honestly love reading your inputs and feedbacks and replies on my tweets, no matter how wholesome or unhinged they may be. I also love that you love Taylor as much as I do (I mean who doesn't at this point?!) and that passion is one of the things that I love about you. Continue to be passionate in everything that you do and please continue being the jolly and sweet soul that you are. I treasure you forever and sending all the love your way!
Charlene (@CharleneRWRB)
My Ate Charlene, one of my favorite Filo TZP moots, number one TZP and Nick in Capri trilogy stan, what could I say to you that I haven't already said? You know how much I appreciate your passion and love for Taylor. You have such a protective energy that I love and adore. You are also dedicated especially with that voting campaign that we did in the past 2 weeks. Please continue to be such a passionate and dedicated stan, I love that energy that you have. I hope to meet you one day since we live in the same country and who knows, fate might let us meet even just once. Love you lots, Ate Charlene and the angels know how thankful I am for you.
Teena (@honeybfly1929)
Ate Teena, another one of my Filo TZP fandom sisters, I love meeting you virtually and sometimes having conversations through DMs. You have such a protective and passionate energy about you and I love that so much! Amid us talking about controversy sometimes on DMs, I appreciate that you let me talk about things and open up, you has no idea how much I needed to vent during those times that we talked on DMs. Please continue being an open person whom I can talk to anytime and I hope that one day, the universe will let us meet, maybe here in Manila or in LA, who knows. Love you Ate Teena and I'm grateful for you.
Fio (@cutedimple_)

Please continue to make those edits of yours because they really do slay and I love it when I start my day opening social media and seeing your TZP edits. Continue to be your creative and pretty self and I love and appreciate you always!

Please continue to draw and create those amazing art of yours because the fandom loves it so much. Heck, even Taylor loves it so take that as a sign to keep creating beautiful art.

Gosh, you are so unhinged most of the time on Twitter but hey, your unhinged posts about Taylor is one of my most favorite things to see. At least you're unapologetic about it. Like you are a sweet soul who could post some of the thirstiest posts online, which is honestly hilarious to think about but hey, that's one thing I love the most about you. Keep being unhinged and never be sorry for it. Know that you make me giggle and smile with your unhinge-ness! I love you so much, my dear! Keep being unhinged!
Katya (@stylesempai)
Katya, one of the most awesome souls that I could ever have the pleasure of interacting with virtually. You are just one of the best people on the platform. Thank you for all the appreciation that you give to the people in the fandom. Your bits of positivity is very much needed in the ever changing negative virtual space. You are one of my favorite moots and I hope to keep interacting with you. Sending lots of love to you, my dear!
-----------------------------------
As I wrap up this manuscript, I'm filled with gratitude for the digital sisterhood we've cultivated. To my virtual sisters, your presence in my life is more than just a connection through screens; it's a bond of understanding, support, and shared experiences. In a world where distances can feel insurmountable, you've made it feel like we're just a heartbeat away. Here's to more fandom chats and connecting over our common love for Taylor and the comforting words during tough and negative times. Thank you for being the sisters I never knew I needed but can't imagine my life without. Here's to us, and here's to many more chapters of our digital sisterhood.
Written with love and sincerity,

Casting Call: Stories Written For You

(Cover Photo by Yours Truly)
Before I officially begin, I would just like to put a disclaimer saying that these are all personal stories. The pairings are a mix of those provided by some lovely Twitter folks and those that I just personally want Taylor to work with and the storylines and titles are all me, except for two titles that are based off of books and one that is a dream fancast for him.
That being said, let's get on with the casting call
Ever found yourself lost in a daydream, pondering who would perfectly join Taylor Zakhar Perez in the movie of your dreams? Well, you're not alone. Join me as I delve into the captivating world of fancasting, where I (and some lovely folks on Twitter) paired Taylor up with some Hollywood superstars and newbies for rom-coms, action-packed blockbusters, spine-chilling thrillers, and everything in between.
Get ready to embark on a journey of imagination and creativity as I assemble some of my dream co-stars for Taylor, each curated to breathe life into the stories that I hope we get to see on the big screen (or the silver screen) soon.

A Special Chapter Just For You
Tumblr media
(Photo credits: Taylor on IG)
Believe it or not, I wrote this at 6am on a Monday morning. Ahhh, the things I do for you, my love.
I have been a fan of many things and people throughout my life, and people could say that it's a part-time job. I'm a simple girl and I'm quick to fall in love with things. Throughout the 24 years of my life, I have been a fan of many books, movies, series and people.
But currently, one shines brighter than the rest. He charmed his way into my life 7 months ago and I will forever be thankful to the universe for bringing me to him.
His name is Taylor Zakhar Perez.
I first knew him as the charming and compassionate Alex Claremont-Diaz, and dang, I wasn't immune to his charms. Those beautiful deer-like brown eyes, the gorgeous eyelashes that people are jealous of (even me), the physique meant for a superhero, his sweet soul that makes me swoon even more and a lot of other things. Gosh, I could talk about the things I love about him all day everyday!
This is just the introduction, and now I'll share with you the journey of being his fan.
For the past 7 months, I have felt many emotions across the spectrum of emotions. Happiness, sadness, frustration, longing and whatever else. One emotion I never felt though was anger. I mean, how could I be angry at Taylor? I could never be.
7 months is such a long time and it somehow just flew by. Time flies when you're having fun, I guess. I've been having so much fun these past months, I mean, not all days were smooth-sailing, but positive days outnumber the negative days.
Being Taylor's fan changed my routine, I wake up early and screaming for Fashion Weeks and events, I stay up late just browsing his photos, I basically can't live without hearing the sound of his voice in a day. That may sound tragic, but to me, it's special. He's basically the one that makes me go through the day in a happy way.
Taylor has been making me so happy that these words are not enough to describe that feeling. He is truly my sunshine and my comfort person. I honestly have no idea what my current life would look like if I didn't know him.
Being his fan makes me happy because I get to join him on his journey to success. I get to be there with him in every step of his road to success and I get to watch him slowly but surely make his dreams come true! Another thing is that I leave compliments on his comment section every time he posts. I may not be noticed by him just yet, but my heart is contented in the fact that I got to leave some sweet words to him!
Another thing I cherish about being Taylor's fan is the family that it brought me. My dearest TZP Squad, my loves on the vast space of the internet. The family I stick with whenever I feel down or get affected by the hate and negativity Taylor is getting. They know how to cheer me up and I love them for that.
Now, a little message that I know he won't read (or he might, who knows):
Taylor, my love, know that I will always remember this chapter with you. I have loved for 7 months now, but I'll continue to love you for 7 more months and sure, 7 more years if that's what's gonna happen. One thing I know for sure is that this fan relationship between you and me is not gonna be a short one. I'm having the time of my life with you and I'm loving every second of it. I hope to meet you soon and get to tell you how much you mean to me and how much I love you.
This fan journey is far from over, and it could be a long chapter in my fandom life story, but it is a special chapter. It will be one of the chapters in my book of life that I may or may have written with so much love and appreciation.

A Spin on a Famous Fantasy Ballad
Tumblr media
(Book cover edit by yours truly)
Chapter 1
Once upon a time, there was a young peasant boy who lives in the suburbs of the kingdom of Velaria. He's not your ordinary peasant boy, because instead of doing everything expected of him, he is often found daydreaming in the back porch of his small house surrounded by the tallest stacks of books.
Being the youngest of three, he can often slip away unnoticed, which often annoys his eldest brother. His elder sister, on the other hand, is the one who often spoils him with books from their father's library.
Much like every other child who's obsessed with books, he has his personal favorite book and that is the story of Robin Hood, an archer who is considered to be a bandit but really has good intentions. This peasant boy often fantasizes that he is Maid Marian just to be with Robin Hood. That's his one wish to every shooting star, that one day, there will be an archer that's as handsome as Robin Hood who will sweep him off his feet and whisk him away from the land he's born into.
Little did he know that his wish was about to come true...
Chapter 2
In the neighboring kingdom of Celestria, a rogue archer is on the hunt for his next kill. This archer always wore a black outfit that fits his body so well that he's as magnificent as the night. Of all the animals that he hunts, foxes are his favorite. There's just something about their elusiveness that gets the archer excited, and he loves the thrill of it.
Foxes are hard to catch and so the archer rode for days until he reached the gates of Velaria. To his excitement, foxes are not scarce in Velaria but you have to be fast to catch them. Whenever he's not fast enough to catch his prey, he gets pissed but he simply moves on and wishes that he'll catch a fox soon enough.
However, his next catch will not be what he's expecting...
Chapter 3
The peasant boy was being his usual self, reading his favorite book in the town when he heard a horse's neigh from somewhere in his village and to his surprise, the most handsome archer was on top of it. The peasant boy's eyes grew wide at the sight of the handsome archer. The archer gave the peasant boy a one-over and decided he was a worthy prey.
The peasant boy tried to plead to the archer to not take him away from his family, but the archer paid no heed to the crying boy. When the peasant boy won't stop crying, the archer got so mad that he decided he was going to kill the peasant boy right then and there. The archer took an arrow from his quiver, loaded it into his bow and pulled back the string. He was ready to kill the peasant boy, but he couldn't find it in his heart to do so.
The peasant boy then offered a bargain to the archer: spare his life and they'll go back to their respective kingdoms and never speak to each other again. The archer agreed to said bargain after some consideration.
Committing to this bargain is about to be harder than they thought.
Chapter 4
The archer and the peasant boy both regretted that decision the moment they made it. They couldn't resist thinking of one another during the depths of the night. They both managed to see each other once again after a fortnight and then and there, they sealed their story with a kiss.
Spending time together was a lesson for both the peasant boy and the archer. The peasant boy now knew archery and the archer no longer killed foxes after learning that foxes were the peasant boy's favorite animal.
They both had a good life and the peasant boy is happier than he's ever been because his one wish was now answered with the appearance of his dashing archer.
-------------------------
Author Notes:
This is my first dip into writing a story, this could've been longer but I only had enough time for a short version but if time allows, I'll write a longer version with dialogue and everything.
Thank you for reading until the end if you did. This was a fun little piece to write and I enjoyed writing it.
Just guess below who you think is the archer and who is the fox? Pretty obvious if you know the characters I based this little story from.

Reading Taylor's interview for Port moved me but also made me a little sad. I'll explain why: you can understand so well from his words how much he cares about everything he does, how much commitment, study and strength he's been putting in since he was a kid to do what he loves and I respect him immensely for this, for working with humility and tenacity and recognizing that it takes time and patience.
But it makes me sad because someone like him, with his talent and beauty shouldn't "struggle" so much. Reading that in his daily routine there is always meetings and auditions and I think he should have so much work on his hands and I can't explain why he doesn't have it yet.
Then I also feel guilty because he isn't doing "less" than others just because he has fewer possibilities in his hands especially when from his words you can read his enthusiasm in doing such different things, that for him being an actor is not just making films even if it's what he wants to achieve above all but he is grateful for his status as an actor to also be able to work in fashion and in all the events he participates in which give him so much and allow him to give so much.
He definitely has more patience than me, I would like to see him at the top of the world as soon as possible and I hope he never feels "discouraged" and knows that he is doing so good.
I understand what you mean, I didn't have a chance to read the whole interview but I found some parts around and I know what you are referring to. Him doing auditions constantly is not synonymous with something negative 😊, on the contrary, we don't know how many of those auditions end well and what moves bts. I understand the frustration in seeing how easy it is for so many people in hollywood to get everything and see them shine with so much ease but Taylor isn't doing badly, not at all, rwrb was his role of a lifetime and everything would change after the film, that was obvious, then the strike happened and it's normal now everything seems slower to us.
We as fans would like to see all the success immediately and he deserves it more than anyone in this world but I don't think he is discouraged, at all ❤️, even when he spoke at the fw about his next projects in development he was excited and happy.
Obviously we don't live with him and we can't know if he has days where he feels more frustrated or stuck, as can happen to anyone but I think he is serene about what he is achieving and above all he is aware. We have had this discussion many times and I would like not to reopen it but for him it will take a little more effort ❤️‍🩹, but when he gets to the top there will be none left for anyone, I assure you.
We have to be patient... like him, everything will be fine 🫂

Alex and Henry in Another Universe
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
*Alexa, play Jump Then Fall and I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift*
This is more of a rave review for a story that I literally just finished hours ago and I could not get it out of my brain and it might take me weeks to recover from the insane story I just read.
The fic is an AU with the title 'I Knew You Were Trouble When You Walked In" and it was written by the lovely writer @doeyedgirlyevil (send this writer some love over on Ao3 or on Twitter/X). This is an AU where Alex is Henry's equerry.
Let me now rave about this gem of a story....
OH MY HEAVENS, is it possible to rate a fic infinity stars out of 5 because if it possible, I would rate this fic like that. Like everything about it was utter perfection. This is one of the best RWRB AUs that I have ever read. I swooned, I cried, I gasped, I laughed, I got frustrated, you basically made me feel every emotion possible.
I wanna say that by my standards (which are not very high to begin with), you can already publish like an actual book because the way you wrote this fic is just amazing and the storyline is top-notch! I adore your writing so much!
The storyline, OH MY GOSH, it was just amazing. If this were an actual book, I would buy it. I love the storyline so much. Reminded me a lot of one of my favorite books "Twisted Games" by Ana Huang. It's a romance story between a princess and her bodyguard and this fic reminded me of that but will an Alex and Henry spin to it which is lovely all the same.
Equerry Alex was emanating so much alpha male energy and I normally do not like alpha male characters but in this universe, dang, I was living for it. I'M ON MY KNEES FOR EQUERRY ALEX! Like reading Alex's dialogue with Taylor's voice in my mind and him sounding commanding and possessive just made me transcend into another world. Like I'M DOWN BAD!!
Another thing, the teasing, the pining, the smut, PERFECTION!! I love everything about the way the teasing and the smut scenes were written. I was screaming, crying, kicking my feet every time Alex would tease Henry when they make out.
For me, you are in the same level as Sarah J. Maas (ACOTAR series) and Ana Huang (Twisted Series) when it comes to smut because the words in the spicy scenes in your story, I have only read them in the ACOTAR and Twisted series. The dialogues like "Make that noise again, sweetheart?" or "How are you going to kill me, beautiful? Looks to me you're the one dying for it." had my insides turning and butterflies fluttering.
To add, the pet names!! I'm so down for the pet names. Every "Baby", "Princess", "Sweetheart", "Love" made me tingle inside. Like I was swooning so hard.
Also, you may have unlocked a new fetish (is that what it's called, I don't know) from me because every time Alex nips on Henry's ear or kisses his neck, I have a visceral reaction as if a vampire was biting me in the neck and I'm loving it. Never in my life have I experienced having such a reaction so this is new to me.
I also loved how you incorporate some lines from the original book to your story. I jumped and smiled every time I saw a line from the book in your story.
Clearly, I had an amazing time reading your fic and I might go back to it and download it in order to highlight and annotate some of my favorite quotes to revisit in the future because how can I not revisit such amazing dialogue and lines and scenes.
I could rave about you and your writing all day long if I can. I just wanna say a big thank you for writing this amazing story. I'm willing to read any of your upcoming RWRB related works.
Sending you a big hug and lots of love from my heart to yours.
P.S: you just made me imagine Taylor as a vampire or a commanding alpha male character and I'm all here for it! I WANT IT!
To those who haven't read this gem of a fic and you're in the RWRB fandom, here's the link to the infamous equerry fic.

You Made My Life Immensely Better
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
[To be completely honest and somewhat candid, this is just a product of me thinking how the heck am I gonna beat the sentiments I wrote in the Thanksgiving letter and not sound repetitive]
To my dearest TZP Squad,
Here's a letter...
As 2023 draws to a close, I find myself thinking about this rollercoaster of a journey we've shared over the few months that I've been in this beautiful fandom. To each and every one of you who has become a part of my year, I want to express my deepest gratitude.
This year, especially the last 4-5 months, has been a wild ride with ups and downs in between, and in those moments, you have given me warmth, laughter, and a profound sense of connection. From shared smiles to small but lovely interactions, you have brightened the latter part of my year with your presence.
To quote our dearest Alex Claremont-Diaz: "You have made my life immeasurably better".
My dearest TZP Squad, thank you for being the the source of my smile during both the sunny days and stormy nights. Like I said before, if Taylor is the sunshine, you guys are the solar energy. You simply further ignite the positive energy that Taylor gives and I love you all for that.
To those who let me speak my unfiltered thoughts, big or small, know that your support has warmed my heart and your short and sweet replies have made it more meaningful. I am grateful for the shared joy in our collective achievements as a fandom, and what we've achieved this year (a.k.a Taylor seeing the birthday project) is only just the beginning of a beautiful fandom journey.
For the moments of solace and comfort and the unspoken reassurances, thank you. Your empathy and virtual love always melts my heart, and I'll always cherish the sanctuary of this little positive corner on the messy world of the internet.
To the people that I've been interacting with recently and since I joined this lovely fandom family (Josie, Nae, Kay, Lee, Bia, Kate, the admins behind my dearest @/InfoTZP and @/tzpsquads Mari and May), thank you for the meaningful insights, the unexpected laughter, and the undying support and love. You've added yourselves to the fandom chapters of my life story and I am forever thankful for each of you. I may not see your faces, but know that I see you and I appreciate you and everything that you do for the fandom, whether that is organizing projects or providing updates. It's the little things and gestures that matter the most.
Special mentions to @/InfoTZP and @/tzpsquads for sending me DMs after I sent out that Thanksgiving letter last month. Those DMs will forever hold a special place in my heart.
As a new year approaches, I'll carry forward the memories that I've created with you. May we continue to laugh and smile despite the troubles that came our way and will probably continue to come our way.
In a world that can feel chaotic and uncertain, your presence has been and will continue to be a constant source of light and love. December has been a mix of the light and the dark, but I'm glad that we stuck together and united against the dark forces. To quote one of my favorite literary characters (who shares the same name as me), Clary Fairchild: Alone, we're strong. Together, we're unstoppable.
Here's to the moments we've shared, the memories we've created, and the bonds that have made the latter part of this year truly unforgettable.
My dears, all I can really say is thank you! In the many years that I have been in multiple fandoms, I have never been in such a beautiful fandom like this. This is probably the one fandom that I'll forever treasure until time ends. I am lucky to have you (as virtual friends) and for sure, Taylor is lucky to have you who is always there to love, support, cherish and defend him.
Let's continue to share and express the mutual love we have for TZP, whether that be by simply appreciating how good he looks or thirsting over him on a feral level (oh yeah, I see TZP thirst posts daily), let's just continue to do it because it's one of my most favorite things about this little fandom family of ours.
The fandom is just as special as Taylor and I’m excited to spend the future loving and supporting him with you guys. The TZP squad is one of the best fandoms with the sweetest people and I’m just having a pleasant ride with you. I’m here for the long run and I promise to stand by Taylor and you guys until time tells me that it is already time to stop.
Wishing you all a new year filled with love, laughter, and the continued warmth of cherished connections.
I'll (virtually) see you at the fashion weeks, movie premieres and magazine photoshoots in 2024 ;)
All my love,
Clarissa

I Loved How Good You Looked: A TZP 2023 Fashion Wrap-Up (Part 2)
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
In this continuation of our stroll in the Taylor Zakhar Perez fashion memory lane, I'll bring you the various TZP looks in the latter part of the year, ranging from haute couture to street-chic delights. These are his more recent looks but still, prepare to be immersed in a variety of colors, textures, and silhouettes that promise to redefine the very essence of fashion.
With that being said, let's reset the spotlight and continue our fashion journey and remember the multitude of reasons why Taylor Zakhar Perez is a certified fashion stunner.
The Clooney Foundation Event- September 2023
Tumblr media
Taylor in an all-black ensemble?? Yep, that's enough for me to be mesmerized. Add that he’s sort of clean shaven here with his usual tousled hair. That is a perfect combination of a look for me. It's simple but screams elegance and sophistication.
In other photos, his coat is unbuttoned and his Versace tank top could be seen and also a little choker necklace around his neck that is so thin you could barely see it but yes, he was wearing like a dash of silver jewelry during this event.
Fun fact, he said on one of his IG stories that he was supposed to wear like a brooch [that’s like $35,000] but he broke it prior to the event. That is true ACD/TZP fashion, if you ask me.
SCAD Savannah Film Festival- October 2023
Tumblr media
(Photo credits to SCAD Savannah on Pinterest)
This event, the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, was one of the highlights of my October. It was one of those events that I really looked forward to and when the day came, I woke up to many pictures and the fandom was just collectively happy.
Taylor's outfit during this event was the definition of casual but make it designer and sustainable. He wore a wool Prada shirt with pants and shoes. He also had a blazer (that I like to believe was his custom-wool blazer that he got in Australia). His usual tousled hair and stubble adds a little grunge to the overall look but he still managed to pull it off in true TZP fashion.
This day (and outfit) is one of my many favorite TZP moments in 2023 because this was the day he was recognized for the talented human that he is.
GQ Men of the Year- November 2023
Tumblr media
This is one of those TZP looks that had me going extremely feral that I thought I would not make it to my 24th birthday (well, I did). I did somehow also pray for this because during the morning of the event, I thought to myself: “If Taylor comes in an all-black outfit similar to what Alex wore in the Paris scene in RWRB, I will go feral and cry!”.
Well, it happened. He did show up in an all-black ensemble to the event. I think that was the memo or the dress code of the event but still. Like an answered prayer maybe? But at what cost? My sanity!
His inner shirt was so tight that my eyes immediately saw his six-pack abs. Like I’m not surprised that Taylor has abs, of course he has, but still, to see it through his super-tight shirt made my brain react a certain way. I mean, to be completely honest, I saw his face and hair first (which is always lovely to see) but man, once I got to his lower torso, non-verbal words were spoken.
The black jacket and pants were just an add-on, but dang, that super tight shirt was the highlight of the look for me and it still lives in my mind rent-free.
Ferrari F1 Event- November 2023
Tumblr media
Taylor, again with the gray? Seriously, what do you have against color? (Again, kidding)
With this outfit, it's gives me the vibes of like a fancy mechanic of some sort and considering that F1 is a car event, that seems fitting. To me, the savior of this outfit is the yellow inner shirt. If it was only the grey outer jacket, I would not have loved it as much. The yellow adds a pop of color to the dullness of the gray, much like sunshine peeking through gray clouds.
I can see people wearing clothes like this to events like the F1. Just make sure to add pops of color to gray to not make it seem dull and lifeless.
Only Natural Diamonds Campaign- November 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Alexa, play Cowboy Like Me by Taylor Swift*
I know we're supposed to mind the diamonds that were used for the jewelry, but tell me how are we going to mind the diamonds if the model is so handsome? Like how?
Also, I'm not the biggest fan of cowboy and western things, but this could've been the beginning of my obsession with anything western. But like the cowboy hat, the tank top, the boots with spurs, the horse, the sandy desert, that just screams cowboy aesthetic all over the place, and I'm so here for it.
All of the looks and BTS photos and videos for this campaign was what kickstarted my fan-casting of Taylor as the swashbuckling bandit Zorro. Like simply imagining him as Zorro is enough to send me screaming.
Somebody cast him as like a cowboy or a rancher in a film and I will definitely watch that because just based off of this shoot, he was radiating so much cowboy vibes. TZP is one handsome cowboy!
Balenciaga Event- December 2023
Tumblr media
This event somehow happened out of nowhere for me because I thought fashion week was done, but apparently not.
Taylor's look for this event was an all-black ensemble which would usually get me screaming and feral but somehow, this look did not do it for me. Maybe it was the bagginess of the jacket and pants, but there was definitely something that did not do it for me.
I would like to say though that the leather jacket was a good choice, because even though it is sunny in L.A, there's that underlying winter chill so a jacket is always a good thing to have on hand during the chilly winter months.
Academy Gala- December 2023
Tumblr media
I really feel like the fandom moved on way too fast from this look, because I distinctly remember the day after this event was a war zone for the fandom, especially on social media (don't tell me to talk about those days, because those were tough days for me and my dearest TZP Squad).
But let me bring you back to the look of this event..
Taylor wore a custom gray Prada suit to this event. He accessorized the look with a necklace that peeks from his collar and a watch. He was every bit the dashing man during this event. He definitely left me breathless when I saw this look. Definitely one of my top favorites of the year.
This was also his look when him and Nicholas Galitzine took a picture for a very much awaited RWRB reunion, and that is a memory that I love and adore so much. Like the proverb says: Good things come to those who wait.
GQ China Trip- December 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahhh, Taylor's GQ China trip, the gift the fandom deserved after the [social media] war. Kidding aside, yes, this trip of his was a real gift. Despite the jet lag that I know he was feeling throughout his first days there, he still managed to slay and look amazing with every fit that he wore during the entirety of his trip.
From black to white, from lavender to pink, Taylor rocked every color of the rainbow in this event and he looked stunning in every one of them. He looked like a dashing prince in the all-white ensemble, he stepped out of a lavender haze in the lilac fit, he went for a stroll around nature in the brown jacket with a white t-shirt and jeans combo. I have no words for how good he looked in every single fit.
This was also the perfect getaway for him and also became a chance for him to connect with his Chinese fans, which was a joy to see when pictures and videos were shared on social media. A memorable event to somehow end the year with, in my opinion.
PORT Magazine Photoshoot- December 2023
Tumblr media
One look at this photo was all it took for me to silently scream the name "Wolverine".
Like the upturned hair, the dark stare, the all-black outfit was enough for me to associate him with Wolverine. I also love how his white sneakers added a little bit of light to his super dark outfit.
This is only one of the many unhinged photos that he shot for PORT magazine. Like this whole photoshoot was the definition of unhinged.
I also love how it somehow fulfills a bit of Taylor's dreams because once in an interview (or a livestream on IG), he said that given the chance, he would love to become Wolverine and I love how this photoshoot gave him a chance to somehow fulfill that dream of his by making him look a little bit like Wolverine.
I'll take this version of his Wolverine for now, but I'll continue to manifest that Marvel actually considers him for Wolverine (That's just me...)
Tatler Tea Interview- December 2023
Tumblr media
Ahhh, the Tatler Tea Interview, one of my new favorite videos of him.
His outfit here was just amazing, like the embroidered flowers on the sleeves and collar of the top is beautiful. It is a lovely outfit to wear when you're having tea with someone. I also like that the color of his outfit kind of matched the overall vibe of the setting. Kind of like a gloomy winter type of feel, where the air is cold and you just want to sit inside with a lovely cup of tea.
Also, the way he looks at the sky with his chin tilted up and his hair is swooped to one side, it's just a pleasant sight to see and it's a lovely way to end the year.
That's a Wrap on the TZP Fashion Wrap-Up!!
And that's it for a beautiful stroll through the TZP fashion memory lane. Looking back on his fashion this year, it's impossible not to think of the many reasons why he's truly a charming fashion stunner and the next gem of fashion that the world has to look out for. These were definitely TZP style moments that made 2023 truly unforgettable.
From the runways to the streets where fashion became a living, breathing art form, Taylor has surely celebrated the creativity and expression that defined the world of style. Each ensemble, every accessory, and the bold choices made by designers have left a mark on the canvas of Taylor's fashion landscape this year.
As another year approaches, I will eagerly anticipate the trends that Taylor will slay in the coming year. I know he will continue to carry forward the spirit of experimentation, individuality, and boundless creativity while maintaining a sense of sustainability.
Thank you, my dears, for joining me on this stylish stroll. If you've made it this far, congratulations and props to you! I can't wait to continue seeing Taylor wear some more styles in the chapters that lie ahead.
To my dearest Taylor, stay fabulous, stay true to your style, and may the coming year be filled with endless opportunities to express yourself through the artistry of fashion.
Should I do this again next year? Maybe.. I'll let time decide.
Until the next fashion wrap-up!

I Loved How Good You Looked: A TZP 2023 Fashion Wrap-Up (Part 1)
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
In the world of fashion, every outfit tells a story, and 2023 has certainly been a memorable year for rising Hollywood star Taylor Zakhar Perez.
From his lead role in Amazon Prime's hit movie "Red, White and Royal Blue" to his unforgettable fits throughout the year, Taylor shows no signs of slowing down in both the acting world and the fashion world.
As 2023 comes to a close, it's time to take a glamorous stroll down the Taylor Zakhar Perez fashion memory lane! I'll unravel the variety of trends that graced the catwalks, adorned the red carpets, and became street-style staples.
This TZP fashion wrap-up promises a dazzling lineup of looks that defined the essence of elegance and daring creativity that made 2023 unforgettable, especially for Taylor and his ever growing fanbase.
Join me as I unwrap the fashion moments that left fans breathless, inspired, and utterly in love with the one and only Taylor Zakhar Perez.
So get comfortable, grab a drink and some snacks and let the fashion show begin..
Vanity Fair London- February 2023
Tumblr media
Ahhh, look at how dashing he is in that black suit? Already slaying and it's only February!
Anyway, Taylor in this black ensemble is nothing but perfection. Also, the way that his hair was styled up and his clean-shaven look adds a bit of a pristine vibe to the overall look.
Give me Taylor in a black suit any day and you would just catch me swooning over it for the rest of the day.
Cyclops x Moncler Genius Show- February 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the lighter contrast to that of his look during Vanity Fair London, because instead of donning an all-black outfit, Taylor opted for more lighter colors like white, light blue and a dark(ish) aqua green shade.
For this event, he opted for a t-shirt with the name of the brand on it under a plaid flannel like shirt and dark aqua green pants that also has the brand's name on it.
The one thing that I didn't really like is the shades that he wore. It's too big for me and I would've preferred that he went without the shades. However, if he was going for an outer-space alien vibe with this look, I think he nailed it because those shades definitely looked like the eyes of an alien that's coming to invade or seek peace on Earth.
Versace Cruise 2024 Show- March 2023
Tumblr media
This is one of Taylor's look that live rent-free in the minds of fans. I mean, how can it not? He looks so handsome.
This mesh tank top with leather pants is a combination that I never thought would work but it actually could, on Taylor at least. I love how his bits of jewelry added a bit of sparkle to the overall darkness of the outfit, similar to stars in the night sky.
I need Taylor to rock more outfits like this come 2024, because this look definitely had fans wanting more.
Green Carpet Fashion Awards-March 2023
Tumblr media
I swear to the angels, this look is giving me real Rhysand vibes, and I'm not mad about that.
Just another all-black Taylor outfit for the year (trust me, I know you know this ain't the last all-black outfit he wore), and dang, he looks absolutely handsome. With the clean-shaven look and his hair that styled up, this is a vision of a Night Court prince right here.
Yep, I'm just here throwing out my fantasies, but it is what it is.
Woolmark Trip to Australia-March 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of his memorable supply chain trips that he took to further understand the fabrics that go into the very clothes that people wear.
For the first photo, it was a good choice that he wore a sweater to Australia because he went there during the fall season in the country (which runs from March to May). It's also a good pop of color and compliments really well with the green of the grass (and the white of the sheep).
As for the second photo (which was taken when he was in one of the shops looking at fabrics), he wore a plain whitish-grey shirt underneath a navy blue blazer. It exudes simplicity with a dash of elegance. I also love how it was during this time that he made a custom-wool suit for himself.
I love a man who cares about the environment. Men like him are a rare breed nowadays.
BMW x Coachella- April 2023
Tumblr media
Be honest with yourselves, when you look at this picture, what did you look at first? The scenery? The car? Or Taylor? It would be the third option, obviously.
This was a collaboration of BMW with the summer music festival Coachella and to have Taylor as a model for it is perfect because it's like mixing together adventure (with the car) and music & fun (I mean, that's one of the reasons people go to Coachella, right?), which sums up Taylor's personality in a way (adventurous and fun-loving).
For this, Taylor wore a summer look, with a white tank top underneath a black jacket with black shorts and green rubber shoes. I love how the green adds a touch of color to his overall neutral outfit. It's a simple combination but he makes it look like a masterpiece, if I'm being honest.
Ralph Lauren Event- April 2023
Tumblr media
Taylor, why are you wearing gray? What do you have against color (Kidding..)
To be clear, I have nothing against the color gray. It's just not my first pick for a color. It comes off as dull and boring for me, but that's just my humble opinion.
For this event, Taylor wore a grey and white ensemble, with a gray shirt paired with a gray blazer and white pants. The overall look may lack color, but do admit that Taylor looks good in it (he looks good in whatever color he wears, to be completely honest).
International Woolmark Prize (IWP) Event- May 2023
Tumblr media
Knowing Taylor, he would not pass up on an opportunity to advocate about fashion sustainability while still being fashionable himself, which I honestly love.
During this event with The Woolmark Company, he wore a navy blue ensemble, which is composed of a white tank top and a striped navy blue button-down that is layered by a navy blue coat. He completed his look with black loafers and a pair of necklaces, which add a little shine to his outfit. Again, a simple combination but on him, it looks like a masterpiece.
Take it from Taylor, folks. This is how you advocate for a good cause while also looking good yourself.
Prada (Spring/Summer 2024 Menswear Show)- June 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*This is also an excuse for me to post Taylor's unforgettable shirtless entrance photo*
The iconic Prada SS24 Show!! Taylor's fashion week debut (he said so himself during the "Get Ready With Me" video). He really said "this is my first fashion week so I gotta make it memorable". And it was memorable indeed, maybe more for the fans, but regardless, it was an iconic event.
Taylor's photos from this event was one of the first photos that I ever saw of him the moment I became a fan, and it will be one of those events that will forever live rent-free in my mind. I mean, how could I not? Look at the stunning assembly of looks he pulled off for the show. From stepping out of the car shirtless to wearing a white Prada tank top at the end of the day, he surely made the 2023 summer even hotter.
I also love how he made it a designer summer. Prada is a designer brand and then he combined it with some summer essentials like a white tank top and sunglasses. Personally, I love that theme.
Maybe Taylor will be able to beat this on 2024, if he gets invited to the Prada event again (I have faith that he will be).
Givenchy Event- June 2023
Tumblr media
It's one fashion show after another, I take it. After Prada (or before, I'm not sure), it's Givenchy.
I got to be honest, this all-black jumpsuit outfit is not my favorite, but I'll make an exception because it's black which is one of my most favorite colors on Taylor. What I love about this is that he made the jumpsuit ensemble not too plain-looking by adding silver jewelry and sunglasses.
This is more of a practical look but hey, something that's both fashionable and functional is what people really look for nowadays.
Tag Heuer Event- July 2023
Tumblr media
Let's be honest, it's not Taylor if there was no picture where he does the peace sign.
In this particular photo, I love how his outfit was the dark contrast to the light colors of his background and even to the very couch he's sitting on. His dark outfit is something I can see a warrior in a fairytale wear and I'm not one to complain about that.
This ensemble is something people can wear in the summertime, consider the varying degrees of heat that the summer season brings in every country during the summer months.
Miu Miu Event- July 2023
Tumblr media
I would like to point out that this look is very similar to the one Taylor wore to the Tag Heuer event, only with a different brand, but I'll look past that, I guess.
With this look, it still has the summer vibes. I can see people wearing this type of outfit during the summer time where people often opt for sleeveless clothes.
Maybe pair this outfit with your favorite pair of sunglasses, get on a boat and go sailing off into the ocean with the sea breeze in your face and you'll have an unforgettable summer.
Red, White and Royal Blue Billboard Sighting and NYC Street Style- August 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahhh August, the month where Taylor was catapulted into even more fame (and also the month that I knew of him).
August was the month of the premiere of "Red, White and Royal Blue" where Taylor played his first lead role as Alex Claremont-Diaz. It also premiered in the middle of the 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike, so sadly, there was no red carpet event for the movie but Taylor had to show off his style one way or another.
In the first two photos, it's just Taylor casually walking in the streets but he still looks so good. In the first photo, he wore a blue-black ensemble (two of my favorite colors on him) and the second photo was a contrast to the somehow dark ensemble of the first photo because it shows him wearing a much lighter outfit, which includes a cream vest and green track pants with sneakers.
The third photo is special because it was when Taylor was in New York (Times Square to be exact) with his parents and they went to see the billboard that had the poster of RWRB on it. His outfit is a wool (or cotton) shirt with a mix of orange, brown, black and white colors paired with dark jeans. It was a more casual outfit as compared to the magnitude of what he saw on Times Square that night.
Aperol Spritz Event- August 2023
Tumblr media
I suddenly want to have a drink with Taylor and just chill. I mean, don't we all?
With this event, Taylor wore a white tank top underneath a blue striped button-down with matching pants of the same design. I honestly love how the color of his outfit compliments the color of the drink (In art class, blue and orange are known to be complimentary colors because the darkness of blue makes the lightness of orange pop off).
The darkness of the grassy green background also makes Taylor stand out, especially with the angle of this photo, so this outfit is a yes from me. Plus the slightly tousled hair and the little scruff adds more to the chill vibe of the event.
Vogue World: London- September 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was the event that cemented Taylor's status as a prince in my mind. As an avid fan of fairytale stories, his two looks during this event was how I sometimes imagine princes when I read.
The white top with the attached waistcoat and the flared bottoms gives me the vibes of what people in the olden eras of London would wear. Think Victorian/Edwardian era. The second look of the night was this sparkling sleeveless number which is also unforgettable and provided a good contrast to the pristine white top.
I would also like to note that the grey sleeveless top is cropped so a bit of midriff was shown but I'm not complaining since Taylor is cut and fit anyway. These two outfits were really fit for a handsome prince like Taylor who is off to a stunning night in London.
Burberry (Spring/Summer 2024, London Fashion Week)- September 2023
Tumblr media
If there's one thing I'm sure about, it is the fact that Taylor will slay even the most common of clothing. In this event, he wore a trench coat that is almost like a raincoat over a plaid long sleeve. It could be a common outfit for people who experience the rainy weather more often, but Taylor rocks it like a masterpiece meant to be exhibited in a fashion show, which is also a lovely idea.
I don't adore this outfit as much as I do the others, but one of the things that I like about this one is the practicality of it. It's a trench coat that can be used as a raincoat if one does not have an umbrella on hand and the rain suddenly started pouring.
Another thing was the idea that Taylor went to London Fashion Week and it generated like the highest media value. Like, that is a record and I'm not mad that he was one of the reasons that happened.
London and Milan Street Style- September 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Taylor is one of those people who could make street style look absolutely stunning. He could wear like a super casual combination of clothes like jeans and sneakers but combine that with his charm and you get a photo of him walking the pedestrian lane as if it's a fashion runway or him standing outside of his hotel yet it's gonna look like he posed for a fashion magazine shoot.
His street style in between the gorgeous ensembles he wore attending fashion weeks in London and Milan had fans gasping. Why? Because he looks so good in them.
These are four of my favorite Taylor street-style looks because it’s style and comfort, casual and preppy at the same time. All his clothes look plain at best but it still has the element of shimmer because of his accessories like his signature necklaces and bracelets, which is always lovely to see.
Ferrari (Spring/Summer 2024)-September 2023
Tumblr media
Taylor was in his Doctor Strange era during this fashion week and I was so here for that era. It also made me scream because if you don't know, Doctor Strange is one of my most favorite Marvel characters ever!
Taylor could've played a variant of the character because to me, he kind of pulled the reverse version of Doctor Strange. Instead of wearing an all-blue outfit like the character, Taylor wore a dark red turtleneck top with a set composed of a dark trench coat and pants. He kind of completed his Doctor Strange look with tousled dark locks and a bit of stubble.
Honestly speaking, he also gave me a bit of Sherlock Holmes vibes with the trench coat which I honestly love, because I love the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Other than the fact that I completely rambled and disassociated, this look gives immense fall vibes to me, and it's perfect for that chilly stroll around the city while drinking a cup of cocoa or a cup of pumpkin spice latte.
That's A Wrap....for now...
Well, due to the limited amount of images I can put on here, I'm gonna need to put a part 2 for this fashion wrap up. This only means that Taylor had so many good looks this year that this site couldn't keep up with the insane amount of photos (kidding!).
But anyway, here's a link to Part 2 of the TZP Fashion Wrap-Up, so head over there if you want to see more of Taylor's fashion for the year.

My Birthday Letter for You
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
My dearest Taylor Zakhar Perez,
Happiest birthday to you. You're one of the best gems that I've come to discover. You fill my days with nothing but sunshine and light. You're one of my main sources of happiness and I thank you for the comfort, joy, and motivation that you have brought to my life since the day I knew you. I have been happier since I discovered you and I wouldn't trade that for anything else. I also discovered one of the best fandom families this year because of you and that is none other than the TZP Squad.
I promise to continue to stand by you and love, support and cherish you as you journey through your life and career. Believe me when I say that I love you as much as I love your characters like Alex and Marco. Never let anyone steal your shine because the world needs more of your positive light. You're a treasure to your family, friends and to us, your fans.
Continue to spread love, kindness and positivity. Never give up on climbing your "Mount Everest" and reaching for the top. Continue to shine your light and being a positive force that inspires and motivates those around you. Please never let the darkness and negativity in the world take away your smile because the world has a little bit more sunshine because of it.
Keep pursuing your dreams and goals. You have so much more to offer to the world and I'm looking forward to supporting you whatever it takes. I am forever thankful to the universe for letting me know you this year [through Red, White and Royal Blue] because knowing you (and the TZP Squad) is one of the highlights of my 2023. I love you so much and I am forever grateful for you!
Once again, happy birthday Taylor! All my love!!

A Poem for You
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
Taylor Zakhar Perez
You are a fine man with beautiful eyelashes
You are the best thing I discovered this 2023
So that really makes you my MVP
I love your eyes that are the color of whiskey
And your personality that's sweet like candy
I adore your kind soul and heart
As well as how much you love your art
Happiest birthday to you
By the heavens, you're already thirty-two
Age is just a number, so that's fine
Because honestly, you'll age like fine vintage wine
You deserve all the support and love
As well as blessings from the heavens above
Seeing you smile is like seeing sunshine
That's honestly everything I need to feel fine
Never change who you are just to please people
Because what matters is the authenticity of your soul
Keep laughing, smiling and being goofy
Because I honestly love seeing you happy
I can't wait to see what's in store for you this upcoming 2024
It might be a lot that it's gonna be hard to keep score
I hope you continue to protect your peace
And for the negativity towards you to decrease
Alex, Marco, Dustin, Shane
They make me go both sane and insane
What I also hope for you, Taylor
Is for the odds to always be in your favor
Well, here's my one wish
For you to continue to grow and flourish
Hope your birthday is filled with joy and pleasure
Because you, Taylor, are a rare treasure
You mean so much to me and my fellow fans
For more reasons than what can be counted on two hands
You are a gem that will continue to sparkle bright
Shine and shimmer like heavenly light

I Dreamt of Meeting You
Tumblr media
(Edit by yours truly)
This is mainly a short story of what occurred in my mind as I woke up on the morning of the 24th of December, and it's a good one.
Also, to note that December 24 is the birthday of one of my most favorite people in the entire multiverse, Taylor Zakhar Perez. So if you already guessed by the title, yes, I did dream of him on his birthday, which is weird for me to comprehend but sure, I just enjoyed what I saw in the depths of my consciousness.
I can't fully understand what a dream is and how it forms. I can only base my interpretation of a dream from two characters and those are Cinderella and Doctor Strange. In Cinderella's POV, a dream is a wish my heart makes. On the other hand, Doctor Strange said that dreams are windows into the lives of our "multiversal" selves. In my own logic, it’s a vision of what could possibly happen in the future or maybe it’s because I think of him 24/7.
Whatever logic I go by, what matters is that I dreamt of meeting Taylor, and now I am here to tell you the tale of how I did.
I have no idea of what day it was, but all I know was that I was in a hotel room somewhere in LA and I am sitting on a chair talking to someone telling me that I won a promo and I get to meet Taylor. I was probably telling them it might be a scam because it was so random for me, but they reassured me it's real. I was oddly cool with it so then I waited.
If you want to know what I was wearing, I was wearing like a red t-shirt with jeans and sandals. My hair was in a braided half-up style. It's the typical casual outfit.
After waiting for what seemed like forever, Taylor came into the room and I almost dropped down on my knees and cried but I didn't. He was wearing like a grey crewneck sweatshirt with jeans and sneakers. He had a bit of scruff and his curls were just flowing beautifully.
I just gasped and said hi. I asked for a hug and he asked me what do I want to do. Apparently, the promo that I won was something like "Get to spend the day with Taylor Zakhar Perez". It was like I get to spend a whole day with him. It was in the middle of autumn so I wasn't feeling the beach (sorry Taylor!) but I did ask him if it would be cool to go on a stroll around the city and chat while we walk, and while I know he prefers something more adventurous, he still agreed to take a stroll around the city and so we did.
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was still around 7pm, so we had dinner and then we just chatted the night away. Before I headed to bed, I had this conversation with him...and it involves my dearest TZP Squad, because of course, I had to include them.
Our conversation went something like this....
Me: Taylor, I honestly didn't expect today to go like this. I had a super fun time, even though we just strolled around the city and talked and ate.
Taylor: It's all good. I was also looking forward to a more chill day so this was fitting.
Me: Aww, that's lovely to hear. Also, before you go, I want to share something with you. I hope that's okay.
Taylor: Yes, of course, what is it?
Me: So, I know you don't do Twitter and I highly suggest you keep away from it. But there are many people in the TZP squad on Twitter who want to express their love and support to you. I just want to read to you some of their messages to you.
*I then proceed to read some messages that the TZP Squad has been putting out there to him, and I was almost crying while reading because the messages I selected were some of the sweetest ones. When I looked at him, he was teary-eyed and I can tell from that expression that he felt the love*
Taylor: Wow, that is so sweet and kind. Do tell them that I appreciate all the love and support.
Me: Of course, I will. I also want to tell you that I love you so much and that I will continue to love and support you until time tells me to stop. But until then, I'll stand by you and love and cherish you.
Taylor: Thank you so much, that means a lot to me. I love you too. *He proceeds to give me a hug*
*end of conversation and end of my dream because I woke up*
That dream was something else. I woke up smiling and gushing because obviously, I met Taylor in the dream and I got to tell him how much my fellow TZP fans love him. I was glad to be the messenger during that time, if I'm being honest.
Well, this is the end of a beautiful dream. I might as well manifest it into a reality, and only time will tell when that will happen. Maybe not the spending a whole day with him, but more of the meeting him part.
That's it from me, folks! Let's now proceed to celebrate the wonderful human being that is Taylor Zakhar Perez.

A Letter Filled With Love and Appreciation
Tumblr media
As some of you might know, I express my thoughts, feelings and emotions through writing and words. In fact, my number one love language is words of affirmation. I just think that little notes, messages and letters filled with love and positivity goes a long way. This is my fan-art (in a way) and nothing but love flows every time I write something about the people and things that I appreciate and love.
This whole post is a letter that is dedicated to one of the best fandoms that I have ever joined this year. That is none other than the TZP Squad. This might be lengthy, might not be, but one thing's for sure, I'm gonna be a little bit sentimental considering what they've got me feeling these past few days.
I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I think that giving thanks and being grateful knows no time and date. Since it's Thanksgiving season anyway, this will be my Thanksgiving gift to the lovely angels of the fandom who has been nothing but pleasant, accepting, warm and just some of the kindest folks that I have ever encountered online. Other than Taylor himself and some of my other favorite people, these folks are what keep me sticking around in the crazy and ever-evolving realm of social media.
So, without further ado, here's my letter of love and thanks to my dearest fandom, the TZP Squad.
To my dearest TZP Squad,
I would like to start the letter by telling you guys that the found family trope is one of my favorite tropes in books. Just the feeling of finding people outside your own bloodline that loves and appreciates you is a special feeling.
To me, a fandom is like a virtual family, where the members bond and share a mutual love for a specific person or a group of people. Nothing compares to the happiness and pride I feel being a part of one. I have been a part of several fandoms throughout the years, some are still active and some no longer. With every fandom I enter, I always make a promise to stay there for as long as I can unless my heart calls to another or I'm no longer interested in the content or there's too much controversy and negativity that I had to leave and just be a casual supporter instead of a die-hard fan.
The TZP Squad is a special one. What started with me casually replying and liking some posts on Twitter/X and IG turned into something special and meaningful. You guys are just some of the most pleasant, sweetest, kindest and most respectful bunch of people that I have ever encountered on social media. To be able to interact with you and share the mutual love for Taylor Zakhar Perez with you guys have been amazing so far.
The amount of creativity and artistry in this fandom is just overflowing. The edits and the artworks are just amazing and is deserving of so much appreciation. I have a few of my favorite accounts that I interact with on a daily basis but all of you honestly deserves lots of love and appreciation.
Since I live in the Philippines which is in Southeast Asia where it's night when it's day for some, if not most, of you guys, being able to wake up to your TZP-related updates, photos, videos, interview insights and edits is just some of my favorite things to wake up to. Like to be honest, I can't start my day without seeing and interacting a least a couple of posts from you guys.
That's quite the story time, I'll actually now get to the "Thanks-giving part" before I get carried away.
My dearest members of the TZP Squad, first and foremost, thank you for accepting a newbie like me into the fandom. This fandom is new on its own but I know some of you have known Taylor since his "The Kissing Booth" days. Thank you for the warmest and most pleasant welcome into the fandom. Do continue to be your pleasant and accepting souls so our little squad can continue to grow and diversify.
Secondly, thank you for letting me share my thoughts and feelings about Taylor without judgment. I do keep it wholesome and pretty tame most of the time by simply letting the all capital letters and emojis speak for me, but if you can see me behind the screen, I usually go pretty feral. Along with one of my best friends, you guys are the only ones who can fully understand my love for Taylor. Like I can go on and on about him for hours, I'm not kidding.
Thirdly, I thank you guys for simply being my little corner of paradise on the internet. I don't know what it is, but the TZP squad community is my favorite little corner in the messy space of social media. You guys just make my social media experience pleasant. There's no toxicity and negativity, everyone's like helping each other out. Like it's a little space of positivity and inclusivity and I love that so much.
Lastly, I really just want to thank you guys for the happiness and joy you bring to me. I consider Taylor as my sunshine, but you guys are the solar energy. The happiness that I feel increases when I see updates and content of him from you guys. I'm not on my phone 24/7 so I really appreciate it whenever you guys provide like little updates here and there about Taylor. Also, thank you for making me scream and go wild with the insane amount of photos (I don't really care if they're the same ones!) I see on my feed every day! I love you guys so much for that.
Before I end the letter, I would like to give a couple of shoutouts to some folks...
Firstly, shoutout to the folks who run @/InfoTZP and @/tzpsquads. You angels. You have been my go-to pages for TZP updates since the beginning of my TZP fan era. I appreciate the work and effort that you put into providing accurate updates and y'all are just some of the sweetest souls ever! The fandom and Taylor is lucky to have you guys! Extra shoutout to @/InfoTZP for that poster that you made me for my birthday a few days ago. I still cannot get over the cuteness and the sweetness of that gift. That was also the first time that I have ever received a gift from a fandom so I was really touched by it. Thank you for making my birthday extra special.
Secondly, to the folks over here on Tumblr, thank you for letting me express my Taylor-related thoughts on here. Thank you for liking them, reposting them and simply reading them. They can be lengthy (especially those fashion-related ones) but I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read them.
(He's not gonna read this, but who knows, he might!). Lastly, of course, to the person who is the reason this fandom even exists, Taylor Zakhar Perez. Taylor, my comforting sunshine, thank you for being you and for being the reason why I have a lovely fandom to belong in. Thank you for being an inspiration to many people and thank you for being a positive force that we can look up to. I am forever thankful to have discovered you and I promise to forever love and support you.
This is one of my many Taylor-related posts, but this is more about the fandom than Taylor himself. The fandom is just as special as Taylor and I'm excited to spend the future loving and supporting him with you guys. The TZP squad is one of the best fandoms with the sweetest people and I'm just having a pleasant ride with you guys. I'm here for the long run and I promise to stand by you Taylor and you guys until time tells me that it is already time to stop.
Happy Thanksgiving , everyone! Eat some turkey, eat some stuffing and cornbread. Celebrate and always be grateful for everything that you have!
All my love! 🧡

Fan-Casting You As My Favorites
Tumblr media
(Photo credits to Mekhi Turner)
As an avid reader and movie geek, there's always a point in time when I cast my favorite actor/actress as a character. It's just inevitable to do. And recently, I have imagined Taylor Zakhar Perez as many characters he can play in the future from books and animated movies alike.
Those listed below is just the most popular ones I have casted him as. Also note that other than the first one, the last three are just my personal fan-casts. So without further ado, here's the first one and by far the most popular one even TZP himself knows about this.
First Fan-Cast: Taylor Zakhar Perez as Flynn Rider (Eugene Fitzherbert) in the upcoming live-action Tangled.
Tumblr media
(Photos credits to London Fashion Week on Twitter/X and Disney)
I mean, what else can I say? As a Disney fan since the age of 3, I approve of this fancast. Like it's going to be so good to see Taylor play a scoundrel turned prince. Something like Han Solo vibes. He's got the looks, the voice (I'm also manifesting a solo song for him considering that the other princes in the other live-action remakes get a solo song).
To note at a lot of people also had a crush on Flynn Rider so why not cast one of the most handsome men alive to play him. I will definitely be seated for this movie if ever he is casted.
I also want to mention I have a lot of people whom I want to play Rapunzel (Florence Pugh, Sabrina Carpenter and Dove Cameron are among my candidates) but there's only one Flynn Rider for me and that is Taylor Zakhar Perez.
Here's a link to mycast.io where people can vote on their faves about a role: TZP as Flynn Rider Fancast. Good to see that TZP is the top choice for the role, as he should be.
Onto the next roles....I would again like to reiterate that these are just my personal fan-casts, especially as of recent times, when TZP decided to emotionally kill me by wearing all-black ensembles.
Second Fan-Cast: Taylor Zakhar Perez as Rhysand, the High Lord of the Night Court
Tumblr media
(Photo credits from TZP's Instagram; artwork credits from artworks-by-rokii from Instagram)
Ahhh, my High Lord of the Night Court and the most beautiful man I (and the main character Feyre) have ever seen.
For those who are unfamiliar with Rhysand's character, he is the High Lord of the Night Court in the A Court of Thorns and Roses book series by Sarah J. Maas. Physicality-wise, he is a tanned-tall and chiseled Fae man with black-blue hair and eyes that are so blue that they are the color of violets. Manner-wise, he is kind and is always willing to defend those he loves. He would rather let himself suffer than let his loved ones suffer. He may look so evil at first but once you get to know him, you'll see that underneath that dark exterior is a heart of gold.
Why am I fan-casting TZP as Rhysand, you ask? The answer is simple. Coz I love both of them! Also, I am not the first one to fancast Taylor as Rhysand. I merely saw a tweet and that one tweet was enough to end my fantasies afloat.
Also, to see him play a morally grey character would be a treat. It would be a good opportunity to cast him because Hulu is adapting ACOTAR into a TV series so at this point, I'm just hoping for the best.
He's also one of the many actors that people want to see play Rhysand. TZP as Rhysand fan-cast.
Third Fan-Cast: Taylor Zakhar Perez as Azriel from A Court of Mist and Fury
Tumblr media
(TZP Photo from Pinterest; Artwork credits by artworks-by-rokii on Instagram)
Another character from the ACOTAR series. Azriel is one of my most favorite characters in the story. Physicality, he is also tall and has black wings protruding from his back. Azriel is also known to be one of Rhysand's best friends. He is still a mysterious character to me and I have yet to read a book where he is the central character.
Getting Taylor to play a mysterious character like Azriel would be a joy because you will spend the whole time figuring out his goals.
I would also like to be honest here and say that TZP is not the first choice to play Azriel but I'm okay with that because Matthew Daddario is the main choice to play Azriel. Matt is also one of my favorite actors because of his amazing portrayal of Alec Lightwood in Shadowhunters.
This is the last of the fan-casts for the ACOTAR series but I would like to share another one.
Fourth Fan-Cast: Taylor Zakhar Perez as Xaden Riorson from Fourth Wing.
Tumblr media
(TZP photo credits to Mekhi Turner; Artwork credits from booknuts_ on Instagram)
Xaden Riorson. One of the most exquisite men I (and Violet Sorrengail) have ever seen.
For those who are unaware, Xaden is the wingleader of the Fourth Wing. He has a dragon named Sgaeyl and is Violet's love interest. He is handsome and has dark eyes and dark hair.
I personally consider Xaden as the "Rhysand" of the Fourth Wing series but considering that the second book just came out, I'm a little scared for his future.
Similar to Rhysand, I'm not the first to cast TZP as Xaden because the media platform enews posted a TikTok not long ago that Taylor is their dream guy to play Xaden. Personally, I'm not mad about that because knowing that Taylor is a big fan of Harry Potter and this series has a Harry Potter mixed with Hunger Games vibe to it, so playing Xaden would be like entering a Harry Potter-esque world.
Taylor is one of the many actors people want as Xaden and here's a link for further proof: TZP as Xaden Riorson.
A Conclusion of a Fantasy
I'm a lover of the fantasy genre and these characters are just a selected few that are honestly, my personal favorites. I love these characters and to see Taylor play one of them in the future is a dream to see unfold on the big screen. Of course, I have also fan-casted him as some Marvel superheroes here and there and some rich billionaire CEO. My fancasts is honestly endless.
Feel free to share who you fan-casted Taylor as because now that the strike is over, productions are back in full swing. I would love to see TZP as any character and I would love for him to explore characters and genres. I will be watching every movie and series that will come out. That's a promise.

The Man of My Year
Tumblr media
*Alexa, play Gorgeous and Style by Taylor Swift*
This is about to be one of those posts that is not fully wholesome but partly me being feral and having emotions translated into words. This look is an instant favorite of mine the moment I saw it earlier today. Like I'm obsessed with it and it surely left me breathless and speechless.
Long story short, I somehow prayed that Taylor will attend the GQ Men of the Year event in L.A because he attended the previous events in the past couple of years. I thought to myself: "If Taylor comes in an all-black outfit similar to what Alex wore in the Paris scene in RWRB, I will go feral and cry!".
Well, it happened. He did show up in an all-black ensemble to the event. I think that was the memo or the dress code of the event but still. Like an answered prayer maybe? But at what cost? My sanity!
I immediately went feral the moment I saw the look. Like I almost dropped my phone and paced around my living room for a good few minutes while going hysterical.
His inner top was so tight that my eyes immediately saw his six-pack abs. Like I'm not surprised that Taylor has abs, of course he has, but still, to see it through his super-tight shirt made my body and brain react a certain way. I mean, to be completely honest, I saw his face and hair first (which is always lovely to see) but man, once I got to his lower torso, non-verbal words were spoken. I was super lucky to be alone at home so no one saw me go feral over a picture. HAHA!
This look is definitely one of my top 10 favorites of the year. He looks so good, please! Sometimes, I even think to myself how could a man like TZP be real? Well, breaking news, he's real and he always makes me go insane with his fashionable looks.
Not gonna lie, Nick also attended the event and he, too, looks good with his all-black ensemble but something about Taylor's look had me screaming!
Anyways, I'm surprised I could still speak at this point. Like this look left me so breathless I could barely speak earlier.
If I was given the chance to say something to Taylor after today, I would say this: Taylor, thank you for the gift of your appearance at the event. But sunshine, you need to calm down with the heat please. Like the sun is blazing here in Manila so I need you to tone it down, por favor. I still love and appreciate you amid the heat and insanity you bring to me!
That's my speech, y'all! I couldn't fully put into words how feral I reacted earlier so if this is not the thirstiest post about TZP on my blog, that's because all my words were thrown out into the ether of non-existence and will never be spoken again. Just know that with every appearance of Taylor wearing an all-black ensemble, I'm immediately emotionally deceased and would require a few minutes to gather my bearings before fully registering what in the world happened! Okay? Thank you!
Buenas Dias/Buenas Noches!

3 Months of History, Huh?
Tumblr media
Dang, it's been three months since the release of this cake-filled phenomenon of a movie? Wow, time does fly when you are having fun.
By fun, I mean the experience of getting to rewatch this movie and getting to reread the book multiple times and not getting tired of it because of the beauty of both the original written art and its screen adaptation.
Red, White & Royal Blue is something else. I could talk about what I love about this movie all day. The story, the characters, the casting, everything is just amazing and is worth every minute of my time. To know that it's been three months since the release and people are still watching it is shall I say, historical? Like it's really something special.
Also, to know that the cast can FINALLY share BTS photos and videos from the set due to the strike being over in time for the three-month anniversary is a special thing. Waking up to see photos from Taylor, Nicholas, Rachel, Aneesh, Thomas, Ellie and the rest of the people from the movie has been lovely and I will continue to await more photos and videos from them (Taylor can finally release all the Tiktok drafts he probably has haha!).
To keep this short, simple and sweet as buttercream frosting, this story will always hold a special place in my heart. What started as a curiosity turned into the best discovery that I have made in 2023. This film gives me nothing but comfort and happiness every time I watch it. The happy butterflies are always there.
One thing's for sure, this movie will continue to make history.
Now, a humble request: can Amazon Prime unlock the deleted scenes vault and release at least like one deleted scene for the 3 month anniversary? Please.

Wish Granted, I Guess
Tumblr media
I don't even have words to fully encompass what I have been feeling since I heard the news this morning so how do I start this post? Oh well....
For a little backstory, I came home to the news that the SAG-AFTRA strike has ended already and that means content can be released, press tours are back and people can start talking about their projects. I was ecstatic and over the moon and yes, I was smiling like Alex and Henry are in the photo.
My social media, especially my Twitter was bursting with activity and happiness-filled posts. I joined along the fun and posted a few happy posts myself. I was tearing up of happiness and it's honestly a granted wish.
Fun fact: my birthday month happens to be November and the end of the strike is one of the things that I have been wishing for, alongside material things like books. For the strike to end on my birthday month is just something else. The amount of content that will come after today is just a bonus present.
Why do I have a photo of Alex and Henry, you ask? Well, here's why.
Well, to put it simply, Taylor, Nicholas, Rachel, Ellie, Aneesh and the rest of RWRB cast can finally talk about the movie. I simply can't wait for all the photo dumps on their IGs and the interviews that they could do now that they could talk about it. It just makes me so happy. To the cast, post whenever and however many photos you desire from the set. I can cry just thinking about the amount of photos and videos that I might get in the coming days, so there's that.
I now need them on like talk shows and stuff like that to fully talk about the movie. Like a post-premiere press tour, as it were because it's honestly what they deserve after not being able to share stuff because of the strike.
I mean, I have a lot of favorites that I want to hear share things about their projects (like some of my favorite Star Wars and Marvel people), but RWRB is special for so many reasons I can't even begin to put words into.
It's a simple truth, really. I will enjoy reading, browsing and listening to all the content that will come out after today. It's just a granted wish for me and I will happily enjoy the next days to come.
