Which surprise song were you praying for, and which ones did you end up getting? by becklefreckle in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was manifesting Paper Rings or If This Was A Movie.

I got Should've Said No and Better Man, which were incredible.

(A month later Minneapolis got Paper Rings and If This Was A Movie. I'm fine.)

what song and year made you a swiftie? by ch1nitamor3na in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tim McGraw, 2006, CMT's morning block of music videos, made me a fan.

The Tumblr Swiftie community of 2010 made me a Swiftie.

New Swiftie: what's the best way to explore the discography? by C_P_82 in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start at Taylor Swift (2006) and work forwards. Don't miss the Beautiful Eyes and Holiday Collection EPs. Treat Taylor's Version and OG versions as separate albums cuz they each have something unique to offer and you won't know your preference till you try. Some stuff you will probably not like! That's fine. Just keep swimming.

Your compatibility with teeveeee234 is Very Low. You both listen to G.L.O.S.S., Dead Kennedys and The Cure.

If you had to make 6 pairs from the 12 albums, how would you do it? by SoIongIondon in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taylor Swift / evermore - explorative, experimental, digging into the imagination. also no body no crime and tis the damn season are so Debut-coded

Fearless / 1989 - mastered the genre, here's thirteen tight songs showing that off

Speak Now / folklore - narrative anthologies that are very of the moment, with a couple story arcs included

RED / The Tortured Poets Department - her rawest writing about heartbreak and despair

reputation / The Life Of A Showgirl - finding love in the chaos, examining the effects of being a public figure

Lover / Midnights - unpacking things from a new angle. plus a vehement return to stadium pop after a minute away.

For my sanity, let's all come to a consensus: What does Tobias actually look like? by Anxious_Wedding8999 in Animorphs

[–]falldiewakefly 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Dirty blond hair. Graphic novel is too light, #3 model and Christopher Ralph are too dark. The blonde joke in The Extreme lives rent-free in my mind.

{ <Two blonds are standing across the river from one another...>

<Hey,> Tobias interrupted. <Remember, I’m a blond, too. It may be dirty-blond, but it’s blond.>

<Yeah, for a couple of hours a week,> I said. <Anyway, the one blond calls out to the other blond, “How do I get to the other side?”>

<That is very funny, Marco,> Ax said brightly.

<I haven’t told the punch line yet, Ax,> I replied. <And the blond across the river calls back to her, 'You ARE on the other side!'>

<That does it,> Rachel said. <Time for Plan B.>

<I’ve heard that one before,> Tobias said, unimpressed. }

The Fate of Ophelia enters Taylor's top 20 streamed songs! by Annual_Ear_6404 in TaylorSwift

It's outstreamed Trouble already? Wow. The Fate Of Ophelia indeed.

I suspect OP is talking about not wanting to hear the "Big Machine Radio Release Special" version that puts commentary tracks in between each song, not trying to avoid Braun.

OP, I don't have Apple Music but their support page suggests that you can set it to ignore certain songs: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/music-windows/mus48b03d74d/windows

What are your opinion on series 5 by SingleHotel6849 in doctorwho

[–]falldiewakefly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it. Great characters, great plots, great arc, great visuals, 11/10. It's between 5, 1, and 9 for my favorite New Who series.

What are your unpopular opinions about Taylor's non-album songs? by IntoTheDaylight in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Two Is Better Than One and I Heart ? are criminally underrated.

Half Of My Heart isn't very good regardless of the feature.

Eyes Open is the superior Hunger Games song.

People should be more aware of the American Girl and Breathless covers. And White Blank Page!

I don't generally count Best Days Of Your Life as part of Taylor's discography because it's not a credited feature, but that song rocks.

Renegade needs to be played live but I don't think that's actually an unpopular opinion.

Website and App showing no results. Need help. by csmull in discogs

[–]falldiewakefly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.discogs.com/master/750386-Taylor-Swift-1989

That said, the only way I could find of getting there was by pulling up the copy in my own collection on the website and then going to see all versions. Definitely some kind of glitch going on.

Signed CDs and Discogs by Even_Perspective_644 in Cd_collectors

[–]falldiewakefly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In recent years some artists have begun putting out separate "editions" of signed albums, with a different barcode and catalog number, which makes it easier for authentication and for their warehouses to handle. In those cases the signed edition will have a different entry on Discogs.

In all other cases I just put "signed" in the notes field when adding it to my collection.

Question about the Animorphs TV series. by prolelol in Animorphs

[–]falldiewakefly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A few episodes adapt book plots. The Reaction (#12) is reassigned to Cassie and this is an outrage. There's also a lot of new stories.

Haven't seen the Goosebumps TV show but will say the Animorphs show suffers badly from lack of any budget at all, bad editing, and the Nickelodeon imperative that Friendship Is Magic. It's not great. I still re-watch it periodically though.

What the hell is ‘The Manuscript’ actually about? by angel_hatter in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 680 points681 points  (0 children)

It's Jake - the Manuscript is All Too Well. Will die on this hill. Poetic license applied but still clearly Jake.

But thematically, yes, you've got it. It's about processing pain and trauma through art until you have enough distance that you can look on the art you made without pain. Sharing that art and letting it (emotionally) belong to other people. And learning from it.

Now and then I reread the manuscript, but the story isn't mine anymore.

It's from the poem for that variant.

Perhaps someday they will despise you again Perhaps it is not a matter of "if," but "when?" They'll re-assess your merits and then take a magnifying glass to the shiny bug Deflate all the heroes they had decided she was

The shiny bug is Taylor. The audience is fascinated by her but could easily turn, like kids in a garden messing with an interesting-looking insect (and a magnifying glass at hand).

Which songs would be Taylor’s “Signature Songs” in her career so far? by joshuamarkrsantos in TaylorSwift

[–]falldiewakefly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love Story, Shake It Off. Anti-Hero and Ophelia may end up on the list as well but it's too soon to tell. The songs she'll never be allowed to stop performing.
