I know they had Finn carry us but I’m possessed by the idea of, even in stages, the trio of Yao, Gorrik and Rama having to carry, or half drag for the larger folk, the Commander to safety. It’s dangerous, maybe Gorrik runs ahead, pistol at the ready - he’s done this before in a cell and he’ll do it a thousand times over, as long as they never have that wobble in their voice again
Rama and Yao shouldering the great hero over their shoulders, trying to ignore the soft mumbles and apologies - the whimpers, actual whimpers, of being unable to stop, unable to save, of all the wrongs they did (it’s all false, they did their best), and trying to tune out the tears falling intermittent as they focus on pulling them out of the Haze
What did we say? What secrets did we reveal? Did we cling to one more than the others? Was it like night terrors - were we seemingly wide awake, eyes open, howling in the camp, crying our heart out while no one could do anything? How long were we out? Did Gorrik huddle next to us again, did Rama chase off guards with a stare honed from years of working in a field where you must chase off the well meaning from the grieving? Did Yao have Finn try to warm us you and pull a blanket round our shoulders? Did they read to us to try and reach through the darkness?

prior to literally this summer, 1989 was the only taylor swift album I had any real attachment to. like I had kinda liked a few of the hits from red, but 1989 was the first album of hers with songs I genuinely loved and would seek out from time to time. it was also the first (and for a long time, only) one of her albums I ever listened to start to finish. so this is the only re-recording where I feel anything about losing the original tracks. not that they don't exist anymore but like...if there is one place where I respect taylor swinging her wealth and power around, it is definitely in support of artists owning the rights to their works. so I won't be listening to the originals on streaming anymore in support of that.
but I can't pretend the new versions don't sound noticeably different to me. some are improved, some...I'm not as sure of. but I notice it in a way that I honestly couldn't have pointed out as much with the fearless, red, or speak now re-recordings, beyond her voice maturing, because I never cared about those albums before (honestly I still don't care about fearless, and red is still hit and miss for me, sorry babe. I slept on speak now tho I'll admit that). but 1989 is different. I have legitimate nostalgia for 1989.

Drop your dexter thoughts so I finally have a reason to watch the show 🦍 blease I need more shows to watch
first of all michael c hall got a fat ass and personally i think that alone warrants a watch but maybe thats just me
secondly, the utter DERANGEMENT happening behind the scenes like the two leads were playing adopted brother and sister but dated and got married irl and then divorced before the show ended AND THEN CAME BACK TOGETHER FOR THE LIMITED SERIES FIX IT ENDING LAST YEAR which i cannot fully get into why that was so insane without spoiling major plot points but just know i was having a fit last year lmfao
ANYWAY
dexter morgan. sociopathic serial killer to some. poor little meow meow baby girl to me. having said this, cannot stress enough how much he ruins everyones lives around him. and he pays for it dearly. and the journey is delicious (and controversial to some. i however dont have beef with the original series finale but again... cant get into without spoilers)
ALSO ITS ABOUT THE CODEPENDENCY BETWEEN DEXTER AND DEB I LITERALLY CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! also... yes they are adopted siblings. yes they have weird psychosexual energy so like.... if youre gonna watch this show you gotta commit lmao because when i tell you their relationship will have you on the floor clawing your hair out feeling gaping wounds that will never heal... or maybe thats just me
and to FURTHER the fucked up family dynamics you got harry, their dad, who is a ghost in the show serving as dexters conscious and thats a whole fucking bag to unpack because harry done FUCKED UP his son in irreparable ways (and also deb less directly but like... whew babygirl....)
basically do you love fucked up families? do you love serial killing? do you love bright pastel miami aesthetics? lots of blood? innocent people getting caught in the crossfire of an easily escapable fate had they simply made different life choices? though sometimes its beyond their control sometimes they were dragged into it unknowingly.... this is the show for you
its just... people getting worse and worse and worse. but its also a comedy. i will not elaborate.
