And Then We Found Wonderland

Realizing that the reason Taylor’s music is so compelling and lends itself to so much analysis is because it scratches the same kind of itch as reading novels or watching prestige TV does — there are so many recurring and complementary themes and motifs and evolving “stories” that it really rewards the part of the brain that wants to connect dots and escape into another world. (And TTPD is a masterclass in this.)

absolutely genius of rf kuang to elaborate on virtually nothing about speer's culture. the only things said about speer are "speerlies are mindless savages" and "speerlies are most definitely not mindless savages". there are no deep dives, no explanations of their way of life, nothing beyond the glimpses that disproves nikan's belief that they are nothing but a violent group. we saw that they had leaders that cared about their people and children. we saw that they are people who found joy in life. but that's really not much.

this emphasizes the horror of genocide. millenia of culture and history, individual lives filled with love, pain, and passion, just completely wiped away. there were only two surviving speerlies. one of them was too young when he was taken away, and probably doesn't remember much. the things he did remember was also probably buried under years of abuse and drugs people were plying him with. the other one didn't even know she was from speer until the last few months of her life, and there was really no one around to teach her about their culture. and if there was, life as she knows it was falling apart. learning about her dead people's culture probably didn't even cross her mind.

without saying any of these things and by intentionally leaving readers in the dark about what speer was truly like, rf kuang said so much about the horrors of genocide. by not saying anything, she said everything. she did the "show me, don't tell me" tip for writers and it was brilliant.

we will never learn most of speer's culture and history and that was the point.

With The Boy and the Heron, Miyazaki really said: I accept that my legacy is out of my control, that my children may not be my successors, that this tremendous monument I've built with a lifetime of toil, this fiery blessing that simply fell out of the sky, may not continue without me, In fact, it may crumble to dust, I accept it because my children and their children are alive and well, in this imperfect world, and thats enough. Yes, I accept that this is the end, but God damn, I'll go out with a bang.

i think a lot of people are forgetting that taylor wrote a lot of these songs while she was having her manic phase and felt like dying and was ignoring joever and was channeling everything into matty, and not with hindsight and perspective. and this is not me saying that she’s lying about how she actually feels, rather i think she’s never been this honest. maybe she feels differently about it now (we have songs laced with regret and hate on the album too). what i am saying is that you can’t want to know her life and then get mad when she reveals just how dark and twisted it was.

Reblogging is my way of keeping things close to me
