The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

thinking about “how gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower, swinging a sword he could barely lift” in the ttpd epilogue versus “all that time i sat alone in my tower, you were just honing your powers / now i can see it all” in the fate of ophelia

also we’re going to look back and think about how insane ttpd was. like it literally might go down in time as the most disrespected album in her discography because the initial reaction is not in any way reflective of the quality of that record. it’s lyrically her magnum opus

and also lowkey i think production wise ttpd doesn’t get her due like she’s INVENTIVE on that album. the way she plays with country production on that album is the most innovation that genre has seen in decades

can I say that listening to Anti-Hero now is like, deeply depressing and the genuine antithesis to Opalite. like, we knew anti-hero was sad already. but now it's more like a truly dark storm cloud of doom. it will never get better you will always feel like you are rotting from the inside out and even in your wake your descendants will never care more to dissect you as a human being beyond your fiscal value. what can you provide for us? how can you be shiny and new in a way that we like always and forever before you are lost to the elephant graveyard forever? there is no hope here. the separate characters within yourself will never be allowed to converge. you will always feel distant from yourself no matter where you are. one self will always betray the other. the sky is onyx night. dark, gloomy, shiny, inescapable.
