Presenting: King Sidon, his wife Queen Yona and his boyfriend Link.

Yona is very supportive of everything except Sidon forgetting his ceremony cues.

(I had an atrocious week and TotK has been coming in clutch for keeping me sane.)

having to explain to the tire guy that yes I did drive around with a unfixable nail in my tire with only 6 pounds of air at some point for an entire month because i didn't want to pay for a new one. i drove 6 hrs away from home and back with a flat and did not go broke on the side of the road because my car is super nice to me btw and he loves me

Girls' night

Lavender Valley and Mount Hood, Oregon, USA

You know, it's rather interesting to me that Taylor Swift's parasocial relationship with her fans is honestly more akin to a YouTuber than a writer's. When I scroll through her tag on tumblr/Twitter, it's far more regarding the connection to her personal life/relationship developments than the actual metaphors/fictional story she might be telling. Everything comes back to how her songs reflect back on her relationships with Joe/Matty/Travis/Jake/insert ex-boyfriend here. And what fascinates me about it is that even though she complains about it, she leans into that very perception because it strengthens the parasocial bond.

The marketing for TTPD so clearly being about Joe Alwyn and the songs to Matty Healy. The marketing/video for Red TV so CLEARLY being about Jake Gyllenhaal, with so many of the new lines in All Too Well specifically being digs at him (I'll get older but your lovers stay my age, casting an actor that looks like him for the video, specific lines in I Bet You Think About Me). The fact that songs like Getaway Car and Bejeweled and Gorgeous and London Boy and Lavender Haze being picked apart at time of release and long after for signs of relationships crumbling. The way she uses surprise songs in relation to her relationship development with Joe/Matty/Travis. The damn TTPD "stages of grief" playlists where she deliberately undid/changed the meanings of old songs just to keep her audience speculating on her love life.

It's not sexist to point out that her wielding her love life is a marketing tool and that the strongest connection to her audience isn't the strength of her writing/the composition of her music- it's her deliberate crafting of a connection between her music and her personal life, leaving the audience invested in her music as an extension of Taylor the Person/Girlfriend rather than Taylor the Artist.

Solitude on Plateau de Valensole, France by Jeff Beem

Mr. Bonzo going to a strip club and literally tearing apart a bachelor's party of lads is objectively hilarious. Like the description was horrific and gave me chills to listen to. But as soon as the episode was over and I sat back to just think about the episode I started laughing because what the fuck? What do you mean?? He came to a strip club?? And just?? Started fucking ripping apart and eating people?? That's hilarious?? 🤣 I love this fucking podcast, making me shiver in fear one second and laugh my ass off the next.
