What is life without fictional romance?

Rereading TCP and do you - do you realize Jude absolutely does not have fun with anyone except for Cardan? She’s always on guard, all the time, but when she’s with Cardan she has fun. Even when she thinks he’s abhorrent she still thinks he’s fun. She has not described any other character in that specific way, even characters she love. She also admits it’s one of the reasons she falls for him.

The way All American Bitch ends with someone knocking on the door and then goes into bad idea right? where she shows up at his house

THE RANDOM CREAKING NOISE AT THE START OF BAD IDEA RIGHT FINALLY MAKES SENSE

big fan of maisie peter’s writer’s motif on the good witch. she’s a witch, she does tarot, she’s also a songwriter, all seemingly in order to write her own destiny. the most obvious examples of this are: [you had the speaking part, but i guess i was the playwright] [lost my page when you kissed me, now i remember the whole book] [i can write you out the way i wrote you in] [a new home, a swan dive, a blank page, a rewrite], and other more subtle references to writing. but in the end, one of the last lines of the album is [i tried to rewrite it but i can’t, it’s the history of man]. no matter how hard she tries, she doesn’t actually have that much control (maybe that’s why she’s the good witch bc they don’t practice dark magic). however! while she can’t actually change destiny, she can write and create ‘a universe that you can live in’. it’s her song and her stage and her coming of age, no matter how powerless she is in her real life. she actually already alludes to this in you signed up for this with‘ it’s my narration’. i think it’s really interesting and really highlights the power of words and creation and linking this ‘power’ to witchcraft is really clever imo
