Walk it off

BLUE BEE BLUE BEE

Tony Stark + being hurt by his own weapons

Bonus:

My 50 year old coworker who's apparently into super heroes randomly brought up that there's a trans character in the show Supergirl and that he really likes that character. He talked about how he never really knew anything about trans people but now he feels like he knows a lot more about the topic and he feels a lot more empathetic towards them.

When he’s

clearly a 

turtle????

can you see right through me? : songs about seeing others and being seen or known.

this is a big world, that was a small town : the romanticization of city life from her younger songs, the fresh new excitement of moving to a big city combined with the loneliness, the realization that the city has only become a fishbowl as more eyes are on her, her lover as the city.

i pace like a ghost : songs about being haunted or feeling like a ghost

2 a.m. who do you love? : staying up late, her most romantic moments happening first late in the night because she can’t sleep, then because it’s the most private time she has

i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you : beginning with the romanticization of a secret relationship until she realizes just how draining it is to keep secrets

oh, i remember : for better or worse, she’s always remembering!

it rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone : ALL the songs mentioning rain!

love’s a game, wanna play? : love as a game, mostly sarcastically

the worthwhile fight : the passion and fighting in her earlier relationships, until she realizes the person she loves is involved in the fight with her not against her.

in dreams i meet you in warm conversation : meeting her lover in dreams

we can follow the sparks, i’ll drive : he drives, she drives, her mom drives. everyone’s driving

would you run away with me? : asking someone to run away with her, find privacy somewhere. first, in fantasies, then asking someone to genuinely follow her around the world

i don’t want you like a best friend : taylor’s take on the friends to lovers trope

go! fight! win!: taylor’s high school experience both lived, reflected on, and reimagined.

the rumors are terrible and cruel: both rumors that are told about taylor and that taylor tells, as well as the constant feeling that someone is watching and talking behind her back

but i stay: the constant questions of who will stay? who will leave? who will come back? (i’m BEGGING someone to stay)

all i do is try, try, try: the constant feelings of trying to fit in, trying to seem normal, and being rejected by your peers.

no one likes a mad woman: what a shame she went mad! letting herself be as angry as she wants to be (and maybe a little mean sometimes)

i hit my peak at seven: both experiences she had as a child, or others’ childhood experiences, and the fallout she experienced because of growing up.

no other shade of blue but you: the motif of blue and gold from reputation through folklore
