not to be delulu but 38 min into deathly hallows is when harry exposes himself to snape (after being man hunted basically the entire movie) and McGonagall takes hogwarts back

Omg I was literally having the thought that we needed to do a plant or something.... like start talking about a specific motif that's not been present before and see what happens 🤣🤣 kinda like the whole soup thing

I loved the 1989 vault don’t get me wrong, but I need a pop girlie to truly commit to make an entire album like this. the closest we’ve gotten is Doja’s vie

rewatching Empire Records for the first time in prob 20 years per Jack's recommendation.... and holy shit how does one woman align her art with so many cinematic references at the same time

there are so many teal + orange references

Oh shit this is a Jumanji quote said by Alan played by Robin Williams(Peter Pan & Dead Poets Society)

Other interesting connections the all wild animals like in the manchild music video.

Dice rolls are how you move through the game. The game they have to finish to save Alan.
And the fact that it’s been 20 years. Reminds me of…

@treepaineburner.bsky.social has a thread about mad woman going and it tickled a thought loose in my brain about Taylor making a very big deal about ME! and CANCELLED! being in all caps with exclamation points. folklore and evermore are both lowercase albums. 1/

I’m kind of crashing out over this just a little bit
The fact that the glitter is very clearly green/teal is also driving me crazy

Alexander Skarsgård has opened up about his long relationship with playing queer characters and starring in queer media, saying that he has been “immersed in gay culture” since he was young.

yess and listen to Pure Heroine and then listen to evermore directly afterwards
Today feels like a good day for you all to go listen to Melodrama by Lorde (in full no interruptions, no distractions. front to back.)

the Opalite “results” showing piles of gold money coins underneath the palm trees really makes me think about the fact that the Dance Competition we see in bejewled is to get the keys to her castle but this Opalite-fueled dance competition is making themselves and the old people lots of money

I am so bothered by this rock thing like I can’t stop thinking about it even when I distract myself with other music and activities
February 14, 2026 at 5:25 PM
Solea makes a great point and you know this is all very suspicious timing leading up to the debut 20 year anniversary. it makes me think about A Girl Named Girl and @underthepink7.com anthology theory that debut will be released alongside these long protected stories/art from her childhood.
They do feel like they are merging together

The Forget Him pills from Fortnight MV

I‘m pretty sure this is one layer

Another Layer about the fans

And a third layer about (un)masking & embracing yourself (authentic especially with neurodivergence and queerness)

Objectifying! Commodification of self!
Why are there so many boxes when we only see it for one tiny second? I also think it's worth noting that Taylor's "toxic relationship" was also a product and something she purchased. Looking at where the cactus ends up- for sale at "Cactus World," the man's relationship may be purchased as well!

Hmmm funny how we choose to blur out SOME art in BTS clips, but in others we walk right past the clear image, w/ the camera more focused on the art than Taylor, showcasing the parallax as she walks past.

But I'm sure it means nothing and just happened to be there while she was filming.

so The Rock was on new heights in October and went to U of Miami lmao

I know exactly what he’s trying to say and he’s 100% right.

side note this also reminded me of this day when they attended a Yankees game together. they frequently mirror each other, supporting the theory that Travis is a stand in for some of her personas/identities

finally got a chance to get Opalite extended screenshots & will share a few rapid fire interesting things I noticed! 🧵

the tv at the end of the video ends in a static/glitch but the tv that turns ON to begin the BTS with a rainbow glare first and then hot pink
