Ok I don’t have any beef with Taylor swift and I like some of her songs
… but is it just me, or are a lot of her songs not really songs? Like, I’m listening to a track right now in the cafe, and there’s not really a melody to speak of. Or at least if you played it on the piano, I don’t know that I would recognize it as such. It feels like an alto part or semi-spoken word poetry.

swifties are once again crying about joe alwyn not going to the eras tour.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Beyoncé could show up for Taylor but Joe couldn’t”
“SMACK CAM!”
lol what kind of nonsense is this. Beyoncé is not Taylor Swift’s ex, first of all. and why the double standard? you swifties will scream and cry and shit your pants if somebody shows up to the eras tour with one of Taylor’s exes on their shirts or posters. yet Joe Alwyn is obligated to go watch his ex sing songs about the love they used to have that they don’t have anymore? on what fucking planet is that a reasonable expectation?
and btw, is Taylor obligated to go to Harry Styles and Joe Jonas’s concerts? what about Tom Hiddleston and Jake Gyllenhaal’s movie premieres? why aren’t you lot criticising Taylor for not being a supportive ex, if you’re so concerned about that?
and honestly, the fact that swifties think they are delivering “smack downs” of Joe is insane when really they are just showing how terminally obsessed they are with him.
you cancerous obnoxious nut jobs are so EMBARRASSINGLY not over Joe Alwyn and it’s crazy. according to swifties, Joe Alwyn is an irrelevant piece of shit loser who is not even worth talking about. and yet you weirdos ALWAYS find a way to bring Joe up in conversations, even when the situation has nothing to do with him. like you saw TAYLOR SWIFT and BEYONCÉ together and your first thought was “how can i make this about joe alwyn?”
Joe Alwyn will never be allowed to live a life free of Taylor and her obnoxious fucking fans who literally act like a psychotic ex towards him. they take pictures of him on public transport and mock him for being “poor” and “homeless,” they make up stories about him being this abusive partner who “locked taylor in the basement,” and writing think pieces about how he never loved Taylor (as if they fucking know him and his thoughts), they bodyshame and harass him and openly wish d34th on him. among other things.
…and yet they have the fucking nerve to bitch about him not going to a concert SURROUNDED BY SWIFTIES who literally want his head on a fucking plate and who you KNOW would just hate him for having the “nerve” to show up (just see how they reacted to karlie kloss going to 1 show). and they’d accuse him of “clout chasing” and “using taylor for fame” if he did go.

obey me brothers as taylor swift fans pt. 1
what's their favorite album? their favorite songs? are they a vocal fan or is taylor a guilty pleasure of theirs?
characters included: Lucifer, Mammon, and Leviathan
i have. so many thoughts on this. i had to expel this from my brain before it drove me nuts. part 2 will include the younger brothers. i will probably make a part 3 with the dateables once i think on it a little longer. my credentials: i've been a swiftie since the debut/fearless era, so i know my shit. obey me swifties rise up
content warning: very brief discussions of death
Tumblr media
Lucifer: The Evermore Fan
let it be known that this is not his fault.
lucifer really only listens to his beloved classical vinyl records. he's not one to keep up with musicians, especially not musicians from the human world.
he spent one afternoon retrieving asmodeus from a coffee shop in town. it was a quaint little establishment known for incorporating touches from both the human and celestial realms into its theming. the cozy, bookish sitting area wasn't exactly where he expected his flamboyant younger brother to be, but to each their own.
an unfamiliar song from the human world played over the speakers of the coffee house. a low, pleasant female voice drifted through the murmurs of the coffee shop. lucifer didn't stick around for very long-- he only a small snippet of the music that day. then why was he still thinking about it more than a week later?
he couldn't get that damn song. out. of. his. head.
he's tapping his pen against his desk to the rhythm. the snippet of the lyrics he caught is playing on repeat while he does the laundry. it's driving him absolutely fucking nuts.
through a few nonchalant questions and some digging in his free time, he finally got the name of the song and the artist (note: it was willow). with a bit more finagling, he finally got his hands on a vinyl for the deluxe version of evermore.
he finds an evening where all of his brothers are out of the house, pours himself a glass of demonus, and puts the vinyl on. at the very least, even if he hates it, he can at least purge the song from his head that'd been lingering for the past few weeks.
... it's a much better record than he expected.
something about the combination of the earthy instrumentals and the artist's heavenly alto really soothes the soul.
the evermore vinyl becomes one of his favorites-- one that he keeps stashed at the back of a cabinet, of course. he had no interest in hearing any questions his brothers might have if they happened to find it in his office.
the complexities of the melodies and the poetic lyrics speak to him. he has a particular fondness for marjorie-- a song about losing a loved one and carrying them with you as you continue on in life. i don't feel the need to spell out why he likes this one in particular.
evermore is an album lucifer never thought he'd find, nor did he believe he'd enjoy. but now it's become a good record to turn to when he's alone and has a free night to himself. he might not know much about the artist (she is a human world musician, after all, and he's much too busy to keep up with human culture), but he holds such fondness for this soothing autumn-y record.
favorite songs: champagne problems, marjorie, evermore (feat. bon iver)
Mammon: The Reputation Fan
mammon, like his brother asmo, prides himself on keeping in touch with all the latest trends that pass through the devildom. after the exchange program began, a renewed interest in human pop culture took roots in RAD.
very few pieces actually stuck, but mammon took it upon himself to get cozy with all that lame human stuff. he has a lame human back at home, y'know? what kind of friend would he be if he didn't at least know a little about what's popular up above? so he spends a free afternoon digging through the newspaper's recent post on devilgram about what humans supposedly like.
... taylor swift, huh? well, mammon isn't going to deny that she's hot. especially in that sparkly black leotard on stage... what, is that like, a tour or something? is she popular enough to tour? this is... the reputation tour. huh. seems interesting enough.
what started as interest through thirst quickly became interest in earnest as he watched some of the tour performances. he's like a crow, drawn in by flashy lights and sparkles. this little endeavor, originally meant to take no more than an hour or two, ate up the rest of his night.
suddenly it's 2am on a thursday night-- he's supposed to be asleep, yet here he is, deeply entrenched in the reputation lore. what a jerk that kanye guy is, interrupting her on stage like that! then to lie about her on social media with that fake phone call-- oohh! he's pissed! mammon ends up more mad about the taylor drama than taylor herself. it's been years. people have moved on (another day, another drama, drama). not him, though (all he thinks about is karma).
we all know that mammon, despite all appearances, is a massive simp. so it makes sense that he would really like an album full of love songs. reputation is an album about falling in love at your lowest, about someone finding you broken and loving you through it all. he's a sucker for that sort of messaging.
this obsession-- stanship, fan behavior, whatever you'd like to call it-- is, of course, private. he's a cool, slick casanova. unfortunately for taylor, she doesn't quite mesh with that image. no worries, though. their connection is strong, even if it is kept just between them. (she's his ruri-chan)
reputation holds a special place in his heart because it's the moment when taylor finally finds her one true love (which he found through his intensive research) and accepts being the fear and happiness that comes along with it-- what? no! he's not crying! there's just... dust in his eye! yeah! dust in his eye, and new year's day just happens to be playing, coincidentally, totally unrelated--
so his interest might have started out surface-level. he might have been drawn in by flashing lights and glitter (plus the appeal of understand the human's culture better than his brothers), but by the end of it all, mammon is a certified swiftie. not that he'd ever admit it, though.
favorite songs: don't blame me, king of my heart, call it what you want
Leviathan: The Fearless Fan
... hear me out. i'm well aware this is sort of an odd choice, but i stand by it.
leviathan doesn't really... date. like at all. he's very content fixating on his 2D waifus and distancing himself from normie stuff. and that's all fine and good. but those times when he lifts his head up from his game to see his brothers getting close with others, while he locks himself in his room and shuts everyone out? it stings a little.
you remember that old rudolph movie, the one with the little blonde elf dentist? specifically, his line "you can't fire me, i quit!" in one of the songs? i promise i have a point here
i feel like levi has that sort of complex about love. i think there's a hopeless romantic somewhere deep in there, buried under all the layers of deflection he uses to keep everyone out.
all of this to say: he loves old taylor swift music.
taylor's early works revolve around the highs and lows of young love, woven together in fantastical stories that cast a rose-colored light. levi lives vicariously through this music.
it actually fits him well because he can experience the complex emotions of love packed into a three minute song, all from the comfort of his room and without fear of rejection!
that being said: if anyone were to catch him jamming out to taylor swift in his bedroom, he'd end it all right then and there.
he's very careful to hide this interest from his brothers. anime? video games? sure, they can understand that. but girly, lovey-dovey taylor swift? they'd never let him hear the end of it!
make no mistake, though-- he is a diehard fan. he watches her live performances on deviltube. he knows all her biggest hits. he'd have merch if any of it was subtle.
fearless is his favorite album because it throws itself into being hopelessly, passionately, clumsily in love. he admires how unashamed it is to be so, y'know... normie. cringe, in his eyes. vulnerability? yikes!
he likes the love songs best. sure, there are plenty of good breakup songs on fearless, but he's here to imagine himself lost in young love, not getting dumped. he likes the idea of romantic tension, of dancing in the rain, of friends finally becoming lovers after secretly pining for one another for ages-- especially that last one. he hopes one day he might get caught in a friends-to-lovers plot and fall in love with someone he knows like the back of his hand.
levi knows he is a simple hopeless romantic. but when he plugs his headphones in and turns on taylor's music, he feels, just for a moment, like maybe the pursuit of romance isn't so hopeless after all.
favorite songs: fearless, love story, you belong with me
Tumblr media
[psst... yeah, you. did you want a link to the spotify playlist? here it is. it already has the songs for part 2 on there, so beware of spoilers for the next post!]

See and Hear Everything Twice
(Or, How I attended a Taylor Swift concert with my sister in spite of my severe photosensitivity)
So as I indicated on this blog while we were sitting in traffic, I went to Taylor Swift's Eras Night 1 in Foxbourogh over the weekend.
"But Leah," I hear you saying, "How in the world did you manage that? Surely such a thing would liquify your poor, photosensitive brain! After all, twinkle lights have been known to give migraines before. Surely a stadium concert is a bad idea!"
Well. Yes. My sister went into the concert alone. I listened from outside the stadium.
My sister and I are long-time, vintage Swifties. We started out listening wearing grooves in the Fearless CD, and we've never let up. My sister and I are also night-and-day different in both our interests and dispositions, to the point where I've had friends ask, "But what do you do together?" And the answer to that is a lot of things, but "sing along to Taylor Swift" is definitely a big one.
I looked hard and was eventually able to get my sister a single ticket to Eras for her birthday (which has the added advantage of being substantially cheaper than two tickets together). The idea was that I would (a) become the Coolest Big Sister ever by making this happen for her and (b) be able to experience the whole thing secondhand. Both of us took that concept very seriously.
I don't know if you know it, but there's a Christmas story that we like in my family called "Why the Chimes Rang." Here's an excerpt:
"But I cannot bear to leave you, and go on alone," said Little Brother. "Both of us need not miss the service," said Pedro, "and it had better be I than you. You can easily find your way to the church; and you must see and hear everything twice, Little Brother - once for you and once for me."
My sister quoted this to me the morning of our concert and I can't describe what it meant to me. She saw and heard everything twice. Sitting outside the stadium (and wearing both the concert tees we bought on top of my regular clothes - it was a cold night), I got to hear the music that we grew up listening to together. More than that, in a lot of ways, it felt like my incredible little sister was sitting right next to me, like we were listening together. Really, it was kind of surreal.
I've long since made my peace with the idea that there are lots of things that my illness won't let me do. Yet it was really beautiful to be able to cross one impossible thing off that list this weekend, with some help from my sister.
I've waxed poetic enough, so I'm just gonna bullet point some of the details below for anyone who's interested:
The traffic on the way in wasn't terrible, but when we stopped at a rest stop for lunch the place was stuffed with Swifties in full concert apparel. A feeling of fun and camaraderie in the air.
The merch line was a good hour and forty five, but I was able to get a poster for the shadow box that my sister plans on making (she's crafty like that).
Everybody's outfits were NUTS. Lots of sequins, sparkling cowboy boots and hats, replicas on iconic T Swift looks, etc. One gal was dressed as the crumpled up piece of paper from "All Top Well."
Friendship bracelet swapping was SO fun. I spent the run up to the concert knotting bracelets and everyone I talked to seemed to think they were really cool!
There were probably 40-50 people hanging out by the stadium the night of our concert. Lots of folks were picnicking. There were these four little girls in identical concert sweatshirts there with someone's mom and they were having a grand time dancing and singing and oh boy was it infectious. You could hear all the music clearly from where I was, though probably only about 20% of the dialogue.
My highlights were probably the Fearless set (something buoyant in the air + truckloads of deep fondness), august into the illicit affairs double bridge (SHIVERS), 22 (a fave + fond moment with my sister over text), and the end of the 1989 set (high on the night and singing along).
Our surprise songs were "Should've Said No" and "Better Man." My sister sent me some genuine hall-of-fame texts as Taylor was announcing them. Both are firmly A-tier songs for which I have a lot of love. Also, we both found it funny that the Yeehaw Swifties won so big in Massachusetts, of all places.
The traffic getting out of Foxbourogh was horrific. We barely moved for the better part of two hours after getting back to the car.
After the concert, my sister came running when she found me and all but leapt into my arms. For all that I loved the music, that was the best part of the night.

I'll just address two anons in one. First, if Taylor wanted to date and/or fuck the entire Arsenal Football Team....she can!!! That is her right as a human being to choose what path works for her based on her own wants, needs and moral code, not yours, Anon, or anyone else's. It's so ridiculous to make judgments based on the fact she's dated (publicly) 3 dudes from England and Calvin. Even with Taylor's public dating history in mind, she's 33!!!!!....I l know 20 years olds that could put Taylor's boyfriend count to shame, and that is just fine. So, take your misogyny and stick it. To your anon who thinks a relationship between Matty and Taylor would be toxic....sweetie the only thing toxic about Matty and Taylor's relationship is the self-righteous, hypocritical Swiftie nut jobs like yourself. There is not a single person Taylor has dated, not even precious Joe, that makes more sense than Matty. They are so much alike, it's scary. Their biggest difference is Matty might speak his mind too much, and Taylor doesn't speak her mind enough (maybe they can balance each other out). Yes, I'm a "shipper" since 2014, but I don't know if they're still together or even in contact at the moment. But, I can hope that these two don't throw away the possibility of something very special and rare just because a bunch of assholes want to attack a person that they do not know. And the sad thing is, these psychos were only doing their perfomative bullshit because Taylor was not living the narrative they'd chosen for her....be it that she's heartbroken over Joe and can't survive without him or that she's finally going to admit to the world she's gay. News Flash Peeps---Taylor's life is not a narrative, and she isn't a doll you can (or should try to) manipulate!!!!!
Don’t even get me started on gaylors lately… absolutely freaking ridiculous.
But agreed.
As for whether they still talk now… well… I have it on good authority they do.

I’m so beyond excited for Taylor finally touring but man does the fandom on here get toxic fast and with the SAME DISCOURSE we have gone over about a trillion times for tours past…
And I think people are so annoying on both sides!! Asking someone to explain their financial situation or demanding they justify their expensive tickets, or flat out implying fans who get tickets for multiple shows are as bad as scalpers taking from other swifties…that’s nuts! At the end of the day, everyone is subject to the same Ticketmaster system, which is actually much more fair than it has been in the past (I, for one, do not miss the rep days when fans who didn’t have the time/energy to watch the Taylor-eating-off-her-sweater video 24 hrs a day got lesser priority). The codes are random. Our chances are all equal here. These stadiums hold 60k+ people. A few mega fans going to five shows is not the issue people think it is.
At the same time, it’s really gross how dismissive certain people are of the fans who can’t afford to go the show or won’t be able to get tickets for whatever reason and are simply expressing their disappointment and frustrations. This fandom definitely gets weirdly elitist and cliquey around tour time. All the “popular blogs” seem to get together to go to a bunch of a shows across the country and post about it constantly (and I want to reiterate there is absolutely nothing wrong with this in and of itself, it is their own blogs and people are allowed to have friends and go to many shows) BUT if you are not in those groups, it does get hard. You start to feel like a lesser fan or like you’re missing out, and it can get nasty when certain blogs cross the line from just enjoying themselves while going to a bunch of shows to straight up bragging and jumping down the throats of anyone who disagrees with them or has a (polite, reasonable) complaint about prices/marketing/etc surrounding the tour. And yes, certain (but far from all) blogs do this. They become almost…bullies? And in certain groups there’s definitely a “better than thou” mentality that develops that clearly excludes other fans. And it sucks.
I know it’s only going to get worse when Taylor starts doing meet and greets and suddenly we’re back to arguing over whether certain fans “deserved it.” Meeting Taylor for a second time is really not as unfair as people make it out to be. Some people are just really, really lucky. Now, when people are directly asked if they’ve met Taylor before and lie, yeah it’s a little more questionable and annoying, but we’re all just people. We’re all fans, and when presented the opportunity, fans want to meet her. I don’t think someone who met Taylor on the Rascal Flatts tour in 2006 when they were 12 should never be allowed to meet her again. Let’s be serious with ourselves. But by that same token, it’s like some people don’t even try to understand why it’s hard for fans who have never come close to meeting her see the same fans get all the opportunities over and over again. Especially when they come on here and flaunt how they’ve met her three times and then in the same post immediately try to get Taylor Nation’s attention…yet again.
I know it won’t happen because it’s been one (1) day since tour announcement and my dash is already unbearable, but maybe (on both sides) we should just be a little more aware that there are other fans beyond ourselves, and have a little more empathy for one another!

Since I know you’re in both fandoms, I wonder if you share my cringe when I see Taylor fans going absolutely nuts over Travis Kelce and making videos about how perfect he is (and how terrible apparently Joe (now) was all along). It reminds me a lot of the VM mania.
It’s really unhealthy to be that attached to the relationship of other people. I just keep wanting that stuff off of my feed. I always agreed with you when you told people not to make assumptions about VM, and to believe them when they told us they weren’t together. But after having lived through Taylor‘s adult life over the past 13 years, you would think Swifties would’ve gotten that memo
In a lot of ways the TS fandom is so unlike any other fandom to exist and a lot of that has to do with the parasocial relationship fans have with Taylor, which isn't uncommon within fandoms, but no one has that like Taylor does. And the reason its so different is because Taylor has literally met thousands of her fans in an intimate setting, she actively still remembers having met them, she shares/shared inside jokes with them. No one else has that and that has caused both good and bad within her own fandom.
I can say for myself the over hype of her and Travis only gives me pause because Taylor's overexposure rate is always very very high. Right now she's the most popular she's ever been and not just in music but actively the media and online chatter is all about TSwift right now and its all positive, which is very new. And even though I wasn't part of the fandom back in 2016 when things were at an all time low for her, even I was aware of the hate and vitriol that surrounded her. We're in a new era that has never existed for Taylor before. Being this likable just has everyone ready for the other shoe to drop, which is unfortunate. I don't think its likely to happen - she's sort of surpassed the media having any control over her narrative and has literally become untouchable.
But I do agree with you, I think because this fandom is SO loyal to Taylor they will cut and run no matter who it is, no matter how much they once praised Joe for being in Taylor's life. Its immature and really we know nothing of what happened, but that is literally how fandoms are built. Very little truth and a whole lot of opinion.
I've been bit once, twice, thrice so I've learned my lesson....shipping real life people is never a good idea lol. But I mean I am all for Taylor to get hers, go off girl. If she's comfortable to be more public than she's ever been, there's nothing wrong with that for me. Fans need to stay in line (which they won't and never have) but its all genuinely coming from a good place of fans just wanting the absolute best for her. Most people understand how to toe the line respectfully....we can only hope that remains.

caitlin, as a swiftie and 75 fan (and a fan of your writings), i am so sorry people are going nuts on anon over your posts about the tabloid situation
. it's like people forget that others can have differing opinions *eye roll*
i just can’t believe that i didn’t even say anything bad and they’re at my throat! like guys, seriously, a matty healy fan laughing over the idea of him and taylor together is not public enemy number one.

ok so i am halfway through s4 🥹 so please no comments or messages last episode 5!! that said here are some thoughts on no particular order:
love that episode 1 picked up (almost 😉) immediately where we left off but ooooh my painfully awkward babies 💔
they are so…. i can’t even start i’ll be here all night.
my insides feel like when the pot of water you’re boiling for pasta later starts gettin a lil too nuts but hasn’t quite spilled over yet but it’s going to any second because you got distracted watching instagram reels because you deleted tik tok so you wouldn’t get addicted and then accidentally got addicted to the Worse Version of the Same Thing …. anyway who’s that about not me!
benny boy no one thought you played for the NBA <333
“devi just killed that teacher” ~ benjamin norris, king of comedy!
“girls always blame each other when it’s really the man’s fault” 💯
michael cimino, i’m eating you with a spoon! not your character, necessarily, but definitely you!
very glad they have acknowledged some of the tough parts of the college transition because my freshman year was not at all like a fun movie! and in fact it was a really rough time for me! if i use a bunch of exclamation points
let! kamala! see! i miss her… idk, doing things plz give me more
margot’s dad x devis mom is deeply messy i think i’m here for it so far! but someone find paati a good man!!!! the woman deserves it for pete’s sake!!
mr. shapiro a swiftie, we love a man with taste! need to see his eras tour outfit
also this reminds me must go listen to this playlist
speaking of…

to that end: thank you benjamin gross for getting punched in the face to protect our girl i would do the same for you both <3
i’m conclusion (for now) i want to hug them all… they all need hugs 🥺

idk im thinkin about that post that was circulating a few days ago that was like "nobody wants to hear this but shes only playing big hits and a few fan favorites and thats why debut and speak now didnt make the cut" and like.....its just not true? shes playing whatever she wants to play! shes playing songs like marjorie, which arent hits or even fan favorites. like every casual taylor fan i know who isnt a diehard swiftie (and some of the diehard swifties) would still love to hear our song or mean over lwymmd, which was critically panned and only hit no1 because it was the first taylor swift song in 3 years--thats why it was only at number one for a week. i know we love them here in our bubble but the truth is a lot of taylor swift fans didnt like me! lwymmd yntcd or rfi and never listened to lover or rep because of that. the number of people who adored albums debut through 1989 who i had to fight to get to give those albums a chance is....nearly every person i know irl who likes her at all. and a lot of those more casual fans loved folklore and evermore but ARENT the folkmore tiktokers we make fun of--theyre long time fans whove maybe never heard dont blame me in their lives but would go absolutely nuts over back to december, mine, picture to burn, sparks fly, or tim mcgraw. taylor would just rather play her newer material! and thats what people dont want to hear!

"Your a bit nuts"... seriously you made me spit my drink out. Because I Stan both tay and Bey. But a swiftie friend of mine bought me that door mat sold like 3 years ago for my birthday. The one that says "I hope you like Taylor Swift". I smiled and was like yeah in my head was like WTF am I gonna do with this. Now I keep it ironically in front of my fire place for reactions. Because it varies from people politely ignoring it, to going but why, to thinking I am nuts to I don't get it lol.
Right like I once fucked someone because Lemonade had come out and like we started this convo with a girl about it at the restaurant and one thing led to another and she went home with me. I wouldn’t have been able to fuck someone over Lover. With Taylor you have to like like her a bit ironically irl or it’s uncool but like Bey you can openly stan 💀💀💀

ok but in all slight seriousness, regarding inside as a whole, i keep seeing people shocked/surprised over it being how it was
how "different" it was to the other comedy specials, and...
uhh,, i "get" it but i.. also... don't??
is it really just me who thought inside was just right for as it was??
imo, bo has always been doing honestly weird kooky shit and it's part of why i vibe with the man.
inside felt like a deeply personal surrealist handetched fantasy nightmare bo handcrafted himself personally in each and every damn depressing manic step of the way, and i expected nothing less from him
this is the man that wasn't afraid to tell sing-shout at people to kill themselves just to make a ~subtle~ point about pop music
what. was such a dizzyingly kaleidoscope array of non-stop barrage of weird different each time sketches
that literally had two halves of his brain warring and shouting at one another, like some surreal musical sci-fi psychological comedy sketch
and this was bo pre-pandemic/before the the world ended hahah
can ya really blame his imagination running fucking feral wild being forced to be cooped up in just one place all this time? (NOT TO MENTION AT A CENTURY-3 MONTHS-YEAR TIME WORMHOLE 2020 WAS???)
am i really the only one who could understand bo doing this special the way he did? idk maybe it's just the burgeoning swiftie in me (as well my personal pandemic lockdown experiences i guess), but, creatives going nuts & channeling that into their work just to fucking cope with & survive the pandemic is something i just, i think i fully understood is something bo was 100% capable of/vulnerable to doing or would do...
inside felt like 2020 in a bottle. it tracked. bo was weird & a pretty deeply personal & emotional dude before, so idk, to me it didn't leave much to the imagination to imagine what he'd be like once 2020 hit. inside looked exactly what i imagined he'd be like in the fucking black hole vortex 2020 was...
it's just pretty wild some (if not most) of yalls are actually shocked/surprised with what he did, imo...
goes to show what people can take away from pieces of media, hmm. idk maybe i'm just a bit shocked that fans themselves who watched his specials didn't expect this...
it's really got me feeling like, did you Watch those specials??? did you watch those and think the man who did that shit™ wasn't capable of This Shit™???
idk man, it's just a trip hahahah
(i saw some yt comments & began to read a review, it's what prompted this ramble. i'm just rlly shook some people are shook hahah. not shook with inside, nah, that sht tracked hahah. shook with fans shook with inside hahah. that's what's weird to me hahah.)

Show Me All Your Scars
David Kessler x Reader
Tumblr media
Summary:David sees you for the first time since he's been let out of the hospital and is having a hard time adjusting
Warning: Slight Nsfw
TFB-Somebody Else🎶
~~~~
David's palms were sweaty as he stood outside your apartment door, waiting for you to answer. He hadn't seen you since him and Jack left, they called you every chance they got granted they hadn't forgotten too. 
But seeing you in person was a different story.After everything, adapting to his regular life again was hard. 
 Yet His family suggested it would be good for the both of you, if he came to see you. 
He could hear your hurried footsteps running through your apartment to reach the door, within seconds it flew open. "KESSLER!" You basically tackled him to the ground with your hug. 
It was weird, just like he imagined it would be. Seeing someone from the normal part of your life when things were everything but normal. He thought he was dreaming. 
It was ok though. It was a good dream, one he didn't want to end yet. 
You pulled him into the apartment shutting the door and sitting him on the couch. 
"Thirsty? Still got some Coffee in the pot if you'd like?" 
"Yea That sounds great!" 
He dazed off watching you happily hop into the kitchen while telling him about what you'd been up to since you'd seen him last. 
"What?" You smiled noticing he was staring at you. 
"Nothing...nothing...it's just weird seeing you." You laughed. "A good weird I hope?" 
"Yea It's always good to see you." You smiled and  set a loony toons mug in front of him while you yourself curled up with your mug in hand, He smiled at it. "You still have that thing? God, I gave that to you in 6th grade!" 
You looked at the mug in your hand, it was a small thing decorated all the way around with Rainbow brite Characters. "Of course I do! It's my favorite gift you've ever given me. God knows I almost killed Jack for chipping it." You chuckled sipping from it. 
David stared at you blankly again, He wanted to word vomit everything to you, about Jack and The Wolf, how he's convinced he's gone nuts. 
But at the same time he still wasn't convinced you weren't just another figment of his imagination like jack. 
"David are you sure you're ok? You look..paler than usual." 
"I'm fine y/n-" 
You set your mug on the table and scooted closer to him, placing a hand on his forehead. "You don't feel warm.." 
"Thank you I must have forgotten you were a registered nurse." He said sarcastically as you pulled away.
"Very Funny Kessler." You punctuated your sentence by hitting him on the shoulder. "But and to be honest...It looks like you've seen a ghost." You went quiet and got excited suddenly. "You didn't gain some superpower in the hospital that allowed you to see ghost did you?"  
He laughed and shook his head. "Then what is up with you? You can tell me anything!...like ok! Remember how you told me that when you were 15 you stole some nudie mags, but you were so nervous that you grabbed the wrong kind so you had to use the advertising in it instead." 
"Shut up! I can't believe you remember that!" He said pushing you so you fell back onto the couch laughing. "You cut out the girls from the ads and pasted them to a different piece of paper-" you were cut off by your own laugh and he hit you with a pillow, you kept laughing as he knelt above you hitting you.
"Not a soul knew about it, not even Jack!" You said swatting the pillow away. "So c'mon Kessler what's eating away at your pretty little brain." You joked poking his Forehead. 
So much, so much was swimming through his head in that moment. He stared at you, despite the messy state you were in you still looked unreal to him, he was certain he would be waking up in the hospital any moment. 
He leaned down quickly catching your lips in his, testing his theory. Your hands gripped the collar of his sweater and shifted positions, his hands fumbled for the buttons on your flannel as he kissed you. Your hands found their way to his hair and slipped down his collar to roam his back. 
Once he had your shirt open his fingers ginger trailed along your skin sending a shiver through your body. "David.." He hummed in response but kept attacking your neck and collar with kisses 
"David!" He stopped and looked up at you. "What's gotten into you?" 
"Sorry! It's Nothing! I just…"
You forced him to look at you. "Dave…" 
He groaned and climbed off from top of you and sat back.  "This is gonna sound crazy!" He said, throwing his hands up in the air. 
"That's ok, I'm willing to listen no matter how crazy." You scooted closer, sitting so you faced him. "It's been hard since the accident...ever since I was put in the hospital things have been different...I see things...like I've seen Jack and other horrifying things and.." 
"You were afraid that I might not be real either?" 
He nodded his head. 
You raked your fingers through his hair and he shut his eyes luling his head back into your touch. 
"I have no idea what you're going through...and I will not act like I do."  
He looked at you. With a soft expression. 
"But I know that this," you pointed to yourself then him, then the entirety of your apartment.
"Is real." 
You smiled and took his hand and put them on your still bare chest above your heart. 
"See, Real." He maneuvered so he was facing you, your skin was hot against his cold hand and he could feel your heart beating. 
 "This?" You leaned forward and kissed him again. "Very real." You said softly before he leaned forward and continued the kiss, he held your face in his hands as you moved your lips together 
"Show me all your scars?…"
 you whispered against his lips, he swallowed and pulled away to pull off his sweater,tossing it on the closest piece of furniture. 
You peppered kisses all over his wounds, he sucked in a sharp breath as you did so. 
"Does it hurt?" 
"No...no...Its nice." He chuckled, you smiled and kissed him, you pulled your flannel off throwing it somewhere in the room and David pulled you close and turned you over so your back was against the sofa. 
"There's so much I want to tell you from the nigh Jack died on...It's just…" He spoke softly and in between kisses. 
"It's ok, if it's too much to bare right now, you can just focus on this, nothing else. Ok?" You suggested, tangling your fingers in his hair. He nodded and went back to kissing down your body and eventually working your jeans. "Did I tell you I've been In love with you since High School?" 
He stopped and looked up at you. "Jack promised to take it to the grave, That's the one promise he actually kept to me…since all the pressure's on you, now its on me, now you known." you chuckled. That caught him off guard.
"I also thought you should know this is one of my biggest fantasies." You wiggled your eyebrows and laughed, you stopped immediately and yelped when He swifty freed you from your jeans. "Mine too."  he winked before going down on you. 
"Oh Fuc- David!"

#160-151
160. Girl At Home (4.416)
Highest score was 7.6; Lowest score was 1
I consider this not being in the bottom five a win! Remember when we all theorised that this song was about Zac Efron? What a fun theory. It’s also fun to contrast this song with later songs such as illicit affairs and ivy. To be both anti-cheating and pro-cheating all within the same discography... the range she has!

159. Bad Blood (4.497)
Highest score was 7.6; Lowest score was 0 (@na-smetisti)
A song about the Katy Perry feud that honestly feels like decades ago at this point. Looking back, what strikes me about this song is how... vague and generic the lyrics are. I mean, I unashamedly bop, but if Taylor hadn’t all but named Katy as the subject, I’m pretty sure no one would have ever known. We rated the album version here, but I think the Kendrick version probably would score a little bit higher, mostly because the verses are marginally more interesting.

158. Change (4.778)
Highest score was 7.5; Lowest score was 1
Honestly, I think this is one of the songs that will benefit best from a rerecording. Because as much as I love Taylor, this is... not the best showcase of her vocals. Imagine if she included that 15 second long high note that I used to see all over my timeline on swiftie twt back in 2013. Now that would be a moment.

157. Two Is Better Than One (4.797)
Highest score was 10; Lowest score was 1
This is a collab with Boys Like Girls, a band I know absolutely nothing about. I've only listened to this once, when I was doing my own ranking, and I could not tell you how it goes, but I think it bopped at least a little bit? If any OG Swifties have an insight on this collab, particularly how and why it happened, I would find that very interesting!

156. Invisible (4.825)
Highest score was 9; Lowest score was 1
I have literally nothing interesting to say about this. It’s not awful, but I think it’s a concept that Taylor has done better numerous other times. I think I enjoyed it when I was like 12 years old and had a minor crush on a guy in my class I had never spoken to? I would rather not think about my 12 year old self, so let’s just leave it at that.

@leadinmeon​: “this song is so terrible i have no idea why people like it”
@yourivysgrows: “7 year old me BOPPED to this”
155. Today Was A Fairytale (4.909)
Highest score was 8; Lowest score was 0 (@everfolk)
Am I a fake Swiftie if I've never watched Valentine's Day? I've watched a compilation of Taylor's scenes on YouTube, and that was more than enough for me. This song was probably the best thing to come out of that movie for me, and even then I hardly ever listen to it. It’s sweet, though.

@everfolk​: “I cannot for the life of me listen to this song in full”
@onceintwentylifetimes​: “It's cute but she's done it all before and better”

154. I Forgot That You Existed (5.000)
Highest score was 7.5; Lowest score was 2
The way that the final score for this song is a perfectly average 5... almost poetic in a sense. It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference indeed. I think this song being an album opener makes me dislike it more than I otherwise would, it’s just so underwhelming in that role. Also, someone (either a sessioner or someone pretending to be a sessioner) hyped it up as being a “pop State of Grace” and I’m still bitter about that.

@liabilitys​: “the closest she gets to acknowledging calcium hydroxide and i love that for her”
@corneliaavenue​: “I forget this song exists”
153. A Place in This World (5.059)
Highest score was 7.5; Lowest score was 2
This really hit hard for my teenage self, but it’s been a while since I really felt like it connected. It’s a nice song, and a nice sentiment, but the lyricism is ultimately a bit simplistic and the song doesn’t really have as much depth as we’ve come to expect from Taylor’s best work.
Highlighted comments:
@yourivysgrows: “Was actually a favorite as a kid but I've outgrown it”
152. Both of Us (5.066)
Highest score was 9; Lowest score was 1
I know we just talked about Two Is Better Than One and the fact that I know literally nothing about Boys Like Girls, but for me this is the most enigmatic Taylor collab. How and why did it happen? What commonalities drove BoB and Taylor to work together? Did they discuss the Flat Earth theory? So many questions, so few answers. Also while I actually think this is a very lovely song, it's produced by Dr Luke and BoB is an antisemetic conspiracy nut so we have no choice but to not stan!
Highlighted comments:
@onceintwentylifetimes​: “Taylor's chorus is nice and the rest of this song is fine but I never really want to listen to it”
@yourivysgrows: “Not bad, not my favorite”
151. End Game (ft. Ed Sheeran & Future) (5.078)
Highest score was 8; Lowest score was 1
As an End Game apologist, I’m disappointed... but not surprised. This was actually my least favourite song on reputation when it first released, but over time it snuck up on me and I can appreciate it for the bop that it is! Can we at least agree that Taylor’s verse slaps? I mean, it has the ever so brilliant “I bury hatchets but I keep maps of where I put ‘em” and I wholeheartedly believe that “I can’t let you go / Your handprints on my soul / It’s like your eyes are liquor / It’s like your body is gold” is one of her greatest lyrics ever.
Highlighted comments:
@treacherousdemo​: “will end game not being in the bottom three be upsetting to some? perhaps”
@corneliaavenue: “this song is good, you guys just hate ed sheeran” (and that’s the tea!)
@tobesolonely: “ed sheeran rapping :/”
