Im personally not a huge Taylor fan, but my heart is acheing for her as it is acheing for the fans. Im feeling bad after all the things that is happening in my homeland with something that should be special for Taylor and the Swifties here on Brasil, especially the hate comments from her so called "fans".

Now I can understand the frustation after the concert was post poned lasting 1h to start after literally TONS of fans were waiting outside the estagium on a termic sensation of 50°C.

I get that people were waiting for literal years to see her.

I know there are hundreds of fans whom cant stay on Rio for so long because they have work to do on monday and/or cant afford another passage or an hotel room, and wont be capable to be on the concert after spending 500-1000 reais on a ticket. Sometimes even more.

I understand the frustration. The anger. I understand the pain.

I am not going to say it is not fair, because it is.

But I gotta say, it is NOT Taylor's fault.

It is not Taylor Swift who decided there would be a massive heat wave on Brasil wich literally got on historical books as the hottest day on the state of Rio de Janeiro after around 1000 yrs.

It is not Taylor's fault that a girl passed away.

It is not Taylor's fault that 1000 fans on the crew fainted because of the heat.

And I am saying this because there are really people blaming her. And these things were not on her control.

If you want a closer note to understand how precary the situation was on the first day: the termic sensation inside the Estagium reached: 62°C, what is near of 140°f. And for real, I cant fully comprehend how unwell you can get on this situation. (On my city, I felt sick with a termic sensation of 42°c. To think there were people where the termic sensation was more 20°C makes me unwell to say the least.) People were screaming asking for water, because it is not free on stagiums and events. You cant get in with a watter bottle, and it is way too expensive to buy inside.

To get worse, the air circulation inside the stagium was closed on purpose. So the fans on the streets could not see Taylor inside.

The stagium was made, designed with the air circulation in mind. There was no refrigeration or air conditionin. They basically turned the stagium into a furnace, and wouldnt even give water for free(Ik it is a law, but in this heat, after closing the air circulation????? Are they for real????) and for what? Was it worthy it? To believe much of this could have been avoided if the ones organizing it had the Basic of human decency. Maybe there wouldnt have been 1000 people who fainted and 24 on the fucking hospital....

I cant.

This makes me tear up. Im writing this crying. This is unhamun.

I really wanna believe they didnt have an idea it would be that bad, I really wanna believe they didnt think for a moment: this doesnt feel right.

That it was a somatory of bad decisions viewing only the gain that blinded people to see the basic.

But I am being optimisc, because there is no way such a huge company as it is the Tickets For Fun, there wasnt anyone on the logistics pointing out that closing the air circulation was a bad idea, that there werent anyone on the Commercial thinking even for once that selling a cup of water on such a high price on this heat wave is precary.

I just cant withstand it.

I will give here info: the majority of people on Brasil dont make more than RS2000,00 per month, converting it to dollar it is around U$420,00 per month if I am not mistaken, and the watter cup with 200ml was around R$10,00, what makes U$2,00 per cup. There were people wasting R$100,00 to R$200,00 wich converting is like U$20,00 to U$30,00 only with water in ONE DAY.

Of course, this literally screams that the majority of the crew on Rio is not on this line, but even for people who makes like R$5000,00 to 7.000,00 per month wich is U$1000,00 to U$,1500,00 is too expensive.

And you go with the with lodging, the airplane tickets that alone you spend more than R$1000,00 easily. I am not counting food, drinks, or anything.

People get in debt to see her. That is serious business.

And it makes me sick of my stomach people cant go to a concert because they cannot afford water.

Now, about yesteday's show

Taylor wanted to postpon it since she knew a girl literally died due the hot wave on Rio, while this said fan was waiting to see her performance.

But as it seems, the company Tickets For Fun(@t4f), didnt want her to do it. What I believe it happend was long hours of discussion between Taylor team and the @T4f that is why it was cancelled so late.

People believes that Taylor can postpon an International show by just saying 'im Taylor fucking Swift, I can do wathever I want" that she did it on purpose, to let her fans waiting on an infernal heat, that Taylor dont care with her fans and the fact is. She cant postpon an International show out of the blank when she signed a contract! It was terrible the fans waiting for HOURS, but there was nothing she could do.

I've seen terrible comments about her on tiktok, on Twitter. I've read terrible things people say about the fans, as it was a good thing that her fan died, as example.

And for me, ok? After someone died, 1000 fainted, there really shouldnt be more concert. I agree that it should have been earlier, unhapilly it wasnt cause of burocracy.

Everything I see, read I feel bad, terribly sad, and depressed.

Just to put it here.

It is not Taylor's fault anything that is happening on this tour. Hopefully, the rest of her staying here will be better.

The one to blame is The Tickets For Fun.

I really hope everyone there to be safe and sound. That is it.

#there are many other things going on #but I am tired #taylor swift #eras tour #the eras tour #im so sorry for everyone involved #fuck t4f #juli rumbles

Book Swap

Request: could you do a modern!pony x reader imagine where you're both in 9th grade and meet at the library, and one day you finally have the guts to ask for his number, so you guys start texting and then you start crushing on him and then you have to figure out how to tell him, so u ask two-bit and johnny for advice

WARNING(S): N/A

You sighed deeply as you began to reread the same sentence in your book for what felt like the twentieth time. It seemed as though you were reading but not even comprehending the words. To be fair, it was impossible to get lost in a book when a familiar cute boy was sitting a table over from you.

Ponyboy Curtis. How does one even begin to describe the amazing human you had the honor of being within five feet of? Unlike most guys in high school, Pony was something special. He was kind and very smart, you knew this because you have English with him. You've never seen someone so into a class before, he also appeared to have an interest in literature, like you. The both of you were nothing but mere acquaintances, and you secretly wished you could change that.

It didn't help that you found him absolutely dreamy. His brown hair was always a little messy, but it still managed to make him even cuter. You always feel your heart skip a beat whenever your eyes would meet his sparkling green ones in the hallways. You'd smile whenever you'd see him laughing with his friends, it showed off his dimples that sunk into his cheeks. Ponyboy Curtis was the boy of your dreams, and the young man was completely oblivious.

Your phone vibrated on the desk you were sitting at. Glancing up from your book, you seen that it was a text from one of your friends. After placing your bookmark in between the pages you unlocked your phone.

Evie: So? Did you talk to him yet?

You rolled your eyes after reading the message, your fingers quickly tapped at the screen as you typed your response.

Y/N: No obviously not. Now leave me alone.

Kathy: Girl go for it! He's a nice kid you said so yourself.

Y/N: Uh nope. Much rather stare at him from afar and not make a fool of myself attempting to talk to him.

Kathy: Well if you don't not only will I embarrass you in front of lover boy, everyone in this library will see me screaming at you and we'll both probably get kicked out.

Y/N: Wait what? How do you know I'm at the library?? Are you here right now???

Kathy: Look over at the fantasy section you nerd. You being you I obviously knew where YOU would be on a Saturday afternoon.

You looked up, eyes widening in shock as you saw your friend hiding behind a bookshelf watching you with a sly grin.

Kathy: Make a move now or I'm coming over there.

With already shaking hands you put your phone in your pocket and grabbed your book. You sent Kathy a pleading look, but all she did was shake her head and point towards Ponyboy violently. Taking in a deep breath, you got up. The chair scraped against the floor, creating a loud noise which made at least five people look up at you... including him.

"Oh god." You mumbled under your breath.

In your peripheral vision you could see Ponyboy's gaze return to his book, taking that as your cue to move you slowly crept to his table. You had made it to the chair directly across from him, he was so caught up in his book he didn't even notice your presence. You smiled softly, his eyebrows were furrowed in concentration while his eyes scanned the pages back and forth. You awkwardly cleared your throat, not too loud to disturb others but just enough for him to tear his attention from his book to notice you.

"Oh, hey." Ponyboy said, "Can I help you with somethin'?"

"Um..." Jesus this was going to be way harder than you thought. "W-Would you mind if I sat with ya?"

"Not at all. Go ahead." He sent you a friendly smile as he gestured to the chair you were at.

His smile. Your legs already feel like jello, you could've sworn you were going to collapse right then in there.

"Y/N, right?" He asked as you sat down.

"That's me. And you're Ponyboy."

"Yep, couldn't forget a name like that if you tried." He joked.

You giggled as you opened your book, Ponyboy returned to his. Curiosity got the better of you when you looked back up to see what he was reading.

"Gone With the Wind." You read aloud.

"Have you read it before?" He asked.

You shook your head, "I haven't, but I've heard only good things about it. I saw the movie about a year ago and thought it was great."

"The book is amazing!" He gushed, only to be shushed by the librarian walking by. "This is my fifth time reading it." He told you in a more hushed tone.

You snickered, "Must be really great."

"What ya got there?"

You lifted up your book from the table to reveal the cover to him, his bright eyes scanned the cover.

"The Boy in Striped Pajamas?"

"I know the title seems a bit odd, but trust me this is a good read." You told him, "This being my third time reading it."

"Well what's it about?" He asked.

You went on to tell him about your book, and he went on to tell you all about his. The both of you began to talk about anything and everything, you were beyond happy that things were going well. You were having so much fun you completely forgot about Kathy spying on you, before either of you could realize it two hours had gone by.

You peaked at your phone and cursed under your breath, the lock screen had a reminder that your shift at work was starting in less than thirty minutes.

"I really hate to end this... but I gotta go." You said.

"That sucks." He said disappointedly.

You couldn't help feeling a little giddy inside to see that he was upset you were leaving. While you got up and gathered your things, you remembered that you wanted to get his phone number badly. You just had to figure out a way to get it without making things awkward.

"Hey, Pone?"

He hummed in response.

"What do ya say we swap books... and numbers? Thats only if you want to. I just figured since we read them already and it was cool talk--"

"I'd like that." He stopped your rambling, only to send you a warm smile while doing so.

You blushed as the both of you swapped phones to put in each others information along with handing each other your books. With a final wave goodbye you left the library, your best friend of course followed after you. She interrogated you with thousands of questions and the both of you walked to work, you gladly answered them all in an almost dazed state. You felt as if you were walking on air for the rest of the day, and you couldn't wait to text him later on.

Two weeks had gone by, and let's just say those two weeks have been the best ones of your life. You and Ponyboy had been texting every single day. At first you just talked about each other's books, but then your conversations started evolve to anything and everything. You knew you had liked him before, but your feelings for him have grown drastically. It was beginning to get unbearable holding in how you truly felt, and you weren't sure if you wanted to tell him.

The fear of rejection was one of the main reasons why you've been thinking of just repressing your feelings. Sure, he seemed to like you, but it felt as though he only liked you simply as a friend. Another reason being you were afraid that it would ruin things between the both of you. You had finally become good friends, the last thing you wanted was for everything to end up being awkward all because of you and your silly crush.

After a lot of thinking you decided you needed some advice, and by advice you mean advice thats not only from Kathy. She keeps telling you to go for it, but she doesn't really know Ponyboy well. That's why you got the idea to ask one of his buddies on their opinion. Luckily Pony invited you to watch him and his friends play football. You ceased the opportunity, not only would you be able to watch the boy of your dreams get all sweaty and tuff looking, you could also get one of his friends alone to talk about how you felt.

It was a warm, Sunday morning in Tulsa. The sun was high in the sky and beat down harshly on the group of boys tackling each other in the giant field. You sat under a tree with a notebook in your lap, a cool breeze would rush by every now and then, cooling you off the slightest. You doodled randomness on the blank pages, sketching pictures and honing your writing skills. Every now and then you would glance up and watch the game for a few, sometimes cheering the boys on or laughing when they began to goof off and wrestle each other on the ground.

There was a particular drawing you found yourself enthralled in, as the pencil in your hand smoothly ran across the paper you found yourself sketching a picture of Ponyboy's face. You were so focused you didn't even notice someone come over and take a seat right beside you.

"Nice drawin' you got there." A quiet voice spoke.

You quickly slammed the notebook closed and snapped you head to the right, it was Ponyboy's best friend, Johnny. A tiny smirk was tugging at his lips as he looked at you with one eyebrow raised.

"T-Thanks." You stuttered nervously.

"You like him, huh?" He asked you.

You stood silent as you played with the grass below you, pulling it from the Earth and rubbing it between your fingers. Your gaze was straight ahead watching the game, you were afraid to meet Johnny's gaze that was burning holes into the side of your head.

"Yes..." You hesitated a bit, "I do."

"Does he know?"

"No!" You said hopelessly, "And I'm not sure if I even want him to know."

"Why not?"

"Because he probably doesn't feel the same..." You trailed off.

"Hey now, ya never know." Johnny said.

"What are you two kiddies doin' over here?" A loud voice bellowed.

It was none other than Two-Bit, he staggered over to the both of you before plopping down to your left. He was breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his forehead and trickling down his neck.

"You tryin' to make moves on Pony's girl or somethin', John?" Two asked playfully.

Your heart fluttered, 'Pony's girl.'

"No way, man. Trust me." Johnny chuckled.

"Pony's girl?" You repeated to him questioningly.

"Oh yeah! I see the way y'all look at each other I ain't blind."

You let Two's words sink in, was it that obvious that you liked him? He even said that Pony looks at you a certain way as well. Maybe there was a chance he shared your feelings after all.

"You think he likes me or somethin'?" You asked casually.

"Oh I don't think, I know."

You smiled softly, butterflies erupting in your stomach. In the back of your mind you worried that you were getting your hopes up a little too high, but you couldn't help it.

"I like him too." You admitted.

Two-Bit scoffed, "Tell me somethin' I don't know."

"Well... what should I do?"

"Tell him." Two replied.

"I agree." Johnny piped up.

Both nerves and excitement began to bubble up inside you as you got up and gathered your things.

"Where are you off to?" Johnny asked as you began to jog away from them.

"Gotta head home. Tell Ponyboy I'm sorry I had to leave but I'll text him later!"

"See ya later lover girl!" Two-Bit hollered after you while preceding to make kissing noises.

You laughed to yourself and shook your head, "Idiot."

Y/N: Whats up Pone-bone?

Ponyboy: Nothing much lil lady, and yourself?

Y/N: Same. Btw sorry for leaving so soon today, had some things to do.

Ponyboy: It's alright.

Hey what were you, Johnny and Two talking about? They didn't try to tease you or nothin right?
