It's been bittersweet to process the news that my favourite band is officially over. I started listening to Area 11 in 2012, and they've been the defining music to the soundtrack of my life. Thanks for making me love music, multi-media storytelling, easter-egging, and for all the memories <3

me when i'm such a pedophile who has fucked the economy so badly that, even though i'm constantly talking about how many wars i've ended, i start a new war to boost the economy with loot and to hopefully stop people talk about me being epstein's bff sad pathetic little man, can't wait until he dies

2025 has been a mixed bag. It's the year I finally started HRT, after waiting for 3 years. I've become more self-assured, confident, and feel a stronger sense of purpose than ever. It's also a year where I've had to face the limits of the tolerance and acceptance in my family, which is a shame.

man, i really can't decide on what to do today. even though i kinda want to go to a party and hang out with a bunch of old friends, i'm also in such a weird mood right now and also want to just lock myself inside and be alone for a while

just watched avatar 3 at the cinema, 6/10 probably? it probably could have been a 7 or 8 if it took itself a little more seriously, because the dissonance between the tone of the dialogue and the actual themes and plot was a little jarring ngl. attack on titan paths brainrot was good though :s

dissociating when the family keeps misgendering like im a pronoun swapped taylor swift song

yippee!! day 3 home for christmas and i'm misgendered when mom talks about me to others in the family and i cant even correct her, i started crying after a pointless "fact based conversation" about ai w/ step dad and i feel very alone and very sad. why is it like this ffs alexa play i hate it here

"nobody who is actually GAY (hard g) would be that cringe and have THAT art on their wall!!" hair-pins, emily dickinson, and pronoun swaps are too subtle to be real gay signs, and this is too "loud", gaylors delusional as usual. gotcha. the man wall represents swifties talking about gays confirmed

but i thought trump was anti-war :o seems like his owners want to use what time they got left with the dementia-ridden sock puppet before the epstein stuff gets to a point where he effectively can't be used anymore tragic for the venezuelan people, who have done nothing. god, life is relentless

😼

okay this is kinda funny tbh. having "fuck", "fucking" and "shit" right next to each other makes me think i *really* ought to start reading books again and have a wider range of curse words for 2026

made this to explain to my peripheral gaylor bestie what’s going on today

I've been on HRT for a week now! Already noticing softer skin, changes to my face, but most of all? Mental health so good I'm actually looking forward to sleeping, because tomorrow is another day on magic gender medicine! Crazy that Norwegian healthcare would've had me wait two more years for this.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: I HAVE FINALLY STARTED HRT!!!! i think today, more so than any other day, i can say is the first day of the rest of my life it's so surreal having this day finally happen, after having waited for over two years? its like i've been drowning for that time, and i can finally breathe

idc that its cheesy— posts like Luna's are super inspirational to me because of the culture of openness and vulnerability in our community that make me appreciate stumbling into everyone here. when people feel safe enough to talk about taking care of their mental health, it helps me do the same <3

fuck i didnt take a pic, but i had soup today as well!! red thai soup wkth cocnut milk!! cant miss the soupiversary!!

this is too funny using a gaylor theory then crying about gaylors talking about it wait till they find about its nice to have a Dorothea

💙Midnight Rain 💙Lavender Haze 💙Hits Different 💙Karma 💙Maroon the production on midnight rain might be my favourite on the album? idk if the synth is reversed or what it is, but the actual sound is so SO satisfying to listen to, it sounds like being underwater

Also- "Her name was Kitty" makes "Karma is a cat, purring in my lap 'cus she loves me" 10x more gay and it's not even close, idc.

btw I still haven't moved on from "Wow, she came out. I said, you're living my dream" Let's be completely real- "Argumentative, antithetical dream girl" was really fucking gay and super loud, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to this, and it's not even close.

anyone notice that the track-by-track TLOAS on spotify released october 2nd, and the "main" version released october 3rd? i'm not being dumb, right? it *definitely* wasn't the track by track that we had first???

HOLD UP Does "It's bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of" refer to Hits Different? Walk with me for a sec- It's not on the album bc it's not from a sleepless night in the past. It's the "til dawn"/wishful *future* sleepless night when she finally walks through the Karma door. ???

idk if i'm supposed to laugh or sigh anymore? alexa play cassandra *again*

I’d like to now introduce you to our three protagonists, our taylors. The Poet 🪶, The Showgirl 🐈, and ME! 🌼 credit to - @neverbeenanatural.bsky.social for coining these names <3 Each of these three characters represent one part of Taylor, the writer, the performer, the exiled.

Has anybody pieced together the "It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of" part of The Fate of Ophelia and these? I'm currently trying to cook up a surface-level analysis of the themes in TLOAS, and although this is a little too specific for me, I still found it interesting!

the final pre-chorus on "wood" has the best instrumentation/music i've heard on a taylor album, maybe ever? (1:30-1:49) the chord progression, the drums, and THE BASS LICK on 1:42 sounds so good, it's honestly fucked that taylor didn't take me out for dinner before that part made love to my ears

and btw "wish list" doing a glitch cosplay for one bar is funny to me for some reason start of the chorus is so distracting on first listen, because "i just want you, MHH" literally sounds like "i think there's been a glitch, MHH" surely it can't be on purpose and mean something, can it?

okayokayokay, assuming it's about charli xcx, "actually romantic" is fucking hilarious LMAO congrats on doing a "ur gay lmao, but so am i" diss track, taylor, completely reasonable stuff haha

(RE: promo of Taylor directing herself) Seeing discourse on r/popculturechat is interesting, because the terminology and theories our community has developed to understand Taylor's art just looks like weird contradictions outside our bubble. It feels VERY "Dear Reader was for general audiences" imo

What if "Cancelled!" is when the *real* Taylor effectively ends the entire show that TaylorTM has been starring in? Like, the album being "The *LIFE* of a Showgirl". The album is the story of TaylorTM's life as a showgirl, and how the *real* Taylor is now ending that chapter??? Concept album pls?

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!! 2-3 weeks OR SOONER before I can OFFICIALLY START HRT 🎉 shoutout to imago, this process has taken only ~2 months or so including admin stuff like blood tests. Doing the same through Norway's public healthcare would've taken another ~2 years (!) next up: cookies for celebrating

The way it’s all worded so carefully …. Never picking one side. The complete silence from Rob. The tie-in to Judy garland The invitation to go down the rabbit hole Basically laying out how gaylor starts at debut It’s all SOOO intentional (I think we are being soft launched)

okay what if the TLOAS movie ISN'T anything new. it's just a 2-hour long scroll through gaylor tumblr, twitter, reddit, and bluesky. the soundtrack is just cassandra on repeat, interrupted by "i don't dress for men" part of vigilante shit ft taylor fongering the air during eras

crazy seeing that the discourse is heading towards "liberal msnbc hosts talking about bernie in 2019" levels of backtracking, VERY begrudgingly admitting that we might not be *checks notes* q-anon levels of crazy for thinking the "gay pride makes me me" woman is lil gay alexa play cassandra AGAIN

just to make sure: anticipating a documentary after ttpd/eras has *definitely* been a gaylor thing. has there been any broader discourse in the general swiftie fandom about it? again and again, if we are wrong about stuff we predict, WHY DO WE KEEP BEING RIGHT?????

very strange day. i think i might've found out that my mom might actually not *really* be supportive of... well, me being trans? i think suggesting that my friends might seem to have adjusted to using a new name quickly could be them just playing along bc woke (yes, really) might be her projecting:(

okay it's 3 am for me, and i'm going to sleep. either it'll be totally anticlimactic when i wake up, or i'll be reading through my timeline tomorrow like it's the day after the moonlanding i stg

me absentimindedly poppoing over to the bad place and instantly being met with the classic jewish conservative being transphobic, antisemitic nazis agreeing with them in replies, but need to point of how they're jewish which is bad i feel bad for even bringing it up here lmao, less said the better?

A television executive producer took the photos. I literally cannot stop laughing!!!!

i suppose a part of me is a little surprised by the news? like, if she is doing performance art (which i'm still pretty convinced of), she's nothing if not committed. i can't look past ttpd, and i fully expect some sort of the whole thing being called off/CANCELLED! to feed into the performance

MY TIMELINE WITH THE TIL DAWN EDITION ENDS ON SEPTEMBER 26th THE NEXT WEEK IS THE ALBUM. I was fucking right I’m crying

Taylor rn probably: IT’S A SHOW YOU GUYS. SEE. LOOK. IT’S A SHOW AND I’M THE SHOWGIRL AND NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN REAL. LOOK AT THIS THING I MADE TO PROVE IT. swifties rn probably: OMG TRAVIS AND TAYLORRRR!! SHE’S ON HIS PODCAST, SHE’S SO INLOVE

Let's also not have ‘politicians in Washington’ decide matters of gay marriage and LGBTQ right or segregation in schools while we're at it! Love Pete's unwavering support of the LGBTQ community he is a part of! : - D What a fucking rat politician, with all respect to rats.

it my birthday today!!! the only wish i have is to get a job so that i can pay for, and start hrt asap :=)

job interview tomorrow yippee!!!

Devastating news, it just goes to show how precious life truly is, it’s absolutely heartbreaking for his wife and children, my thoughts and prayers go out to them at this time, and to his friends, colleagues and the Liverpool family, rest in eternal peace Diogo, You’ll Never Walk alone ❤️🕯️🙏🏼

gotta say that being in this community has probably made me obsess more and more about storytelling and narrative structure, just because i was sad, listened to folklore and wondered why she sung about hiding in closets thank ms. poet and the department for causing me to unwillingly become literate

the most pathetic, disgusting, evil piece of shit excuse of a human being, pedophile epstein buddy, corrupt, self-serving, fascist motherfucker. i wonder what the fuck the people who has said how "at least he didn't start any wars in his first term" during the last 5 years are thinking right now.

If her "A"-flagging means TS12's title starts with an "A", let me point out/repeat how "Meet ME! at Midnight" and "Meet me in the Afterglow" REALLY works as a bookend for many reasons. Aurum=Gold in Latin. TS12 being "sunset"/lesbian colors=a bookend for her "Golden Era" before TS13=Karma/NR "age"?

Honestly, the most difficult thing when trying to analyze Taylor's music and trying to fit them into a bigger narrative isn't the analysis. Going from Red, to 1989, then to Rep- Call It What You Want To and NYD just make me stupidly sad for everyone's queer grief. I just want gays to be happy :'c
