The Kitten Complex

I don’t want to hear any writing advice from Stephen king not because I think there would be no value in it but because whatever works for Stephen king is between him and god and that demon he made a pact with that lets him write 3000 words in one sitting daily.

So… some people complain that Showgirl isn’t showgirl enough. Behind the scenes enough. WELL I, personally, think it is!! The Fate of Ophelia is very theatrical. Elizabeth Taylor is about her being under the microscope and people being obsessed with her relationship. She also implores Elizabeth Taylor for her guidance. Father Figure is about the power dynamic in the industry and also her turning the tables and buying back her masters. Eldest Daughter is about how she is, well, NOT a bad bitch and her inner self from long ago emerges. Actually Romantic is about someone that just gives you constant attention like hate watching a show. They are obsessed with hating her. Showgirls get that kind of attention for being famous. Wi$h Li$t is about how all these fancy things that are unobtainable to most people, not to her, are nice but she really wants a partner who meets her where she’s at and that seemed unobtainable to her THE Taylor Swift. Honey is about so many people patronizing her, being passive aggressive, judgmental and whatnot but her partner actually means it when he says honey. Behind the scenes sweetie didn’t actually mean sweetie. Not until her partner said it to her and actually meant it. Cancelled! Goes without saying because it’s about her friends who have been cancelled for ridiculous reasons just because they were famous women. And of course the title track. I think it’s very showgirl. It’s about her, the showgirl. Behind the scenes of HER life. It tells a story of how she went from ttpd to where she is now.

that episode opening with andrea saying taylor never once mentioned fame or money, she just wanted to work hard for her dream to make it happen, then taylor saying she struggled to sustain her previous relationships on tour and that exes made her feel like a conglomerate instead of an actual person, like there was a shadow of Taylor Swift following her around destroying things, and then ending with a shot of of travis watching taylor on stage, soaking it all in, clearly in awe, then crawling his giant football player proportions under the stage to be there as soon as taylor gets offstage........ that's fucking cinema
