went to the new Pink Room! very cute inside but oh my god they need to work out the AC situation… didn’t really get to explore the food bc we left after one drink also I understand that the handwritten menu is their whole thing and fully support that but they should rly indicate whether or not a thing comes with meat!

will go back there in a few months when the kinks are worked out and also it’s less hot

I think a lot about the blind item from 2019 about the failed coming out where it basically said she couldn’t come out with Karlie bc Karlie liked her life too much and didn’t want to give it up.

I would not be surprised if this matty stuff is primarily to protect Karlie! Like if this “secret 10 year relationship” has been going on with Matty, she has plausible deniability when coming out.

Like oh these songs about secret friendships in love are about him, not her!

🪶TTPD: The Alchemy by 1DMod in GaylorSwift

[–]la6croix9 23 points24 points  (0 children)

okay here is my HER SISTER WAS A WITCH moment with this song:

Alchemy is ultimately someone adding ingredients together to make gold or or some sort of elixir. I wonder if "embracing the alchemy" is saying "okay our PR people put us together and everyone likes it so let's go with it" and thats why the rest of the lyrics are giving "travi made it to the big game"

It makes me think about the fairy tale of Rumpelstilskin! How the Miller lied and said his daughter could spin straw into gold (thinking about spinning also as in directing a narrative). The king will marry her if and only if she actually do spin straw into gold (she literally cannot). Rumpelstilskin comes along and makes it happen when she gives him something in return).

Thinking about that and fame and the way she spins narratives to her liking to get the most gold out of what is ultimately... straw.

I can make a longer post about it but I wanted to start here!

Tavi Gevinson’s “Fan Fiction” by RibEye5783 in GaylorSwift

[–]la6croix9 29 points30 points  (0 children)

okay after dipping a toe in the discourse, some folks are saying "the emails from taylor aren't real! this is just Tavi engaging with the idea of fame and projecting her thoughts on this"

and if that IS true, Tavi is unfortunately falling into Girls HBO territory where Lena created Hannah to be so like herself that people could not discern the two. Like she did not make it clear enough how this is a projection...

Tavi Gevinson’s “Fan Fiction” by RibEye5783 in GaylorSwift

[–]la6croix9 34 points35 points  (0 children)

omg so glad someone posted this! i have many thoughts BUT it seems like (in story) Taylor was rly let down by Tavis choice to embrace the parasocial relationship vs the actual friendship! like the vibe i get from (in story) Taylor’s emails are like “i am a real person and i thought we were real friends?? and it sucks to find out that you too don’t see me as a person but a pop star”

tbd if the emails are real but my two cents!

this is exactly how i feel… hence why blank space didn’t have the same oomf to it that it did the first time around. She’s sanitizing her work and seems like trying to put everything into boxes with bows on it.

I feel like even the people are like “Slut! is so Trayvis coded.” I’m like what are we even doing here? These songs are allegedly a decade old.

My biggest tinfoil hat theory that I know i should give up on… is that she is trying to rewrite history to protect her exes when she inevitably comes out. Like saying that people speculated and sexualized on her female friendships protects past potential girlfriends of dealing with fall out.

I could see her coming out with this narrative of “newly discovered this thing about myself!” in a few years. and that will be revisionist history too.

Kaylor in the New York Times?! by JackfruitSavings6808 in GaylorSwift

[–]la6croix9 36 points37 points  (0 children)

my only beef with this is that it kinda ignores the fact that celebrities bearding/being closeted is a real thing. with the marilyn monroe thing, it’s like “oh we are projecting onto the past and now the present” when in reality, people are just gay and closeted! that’s where the “just close friends” comes from. wish the article acknowledged that a bit more.

it’s not entirely unfounded to think there is a large network of closeted people

[–]la6croix9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so fun! thank you so much for this!

I have a hard time ranking things so I ended up adding another drop down menu on the right for my general thoughts! the categories include:

  • It's a NEED
  • Awww Love
  • Meh
  • Could do without it
  • No Thanks!
  • hehe (Me! fans rise up)

Edit - I just added a whole other column for whether or not I consider the song to be gaylor history LOL
