i started rambling in ur tags about this but it was getting v long so i hope u don’t mind me rambling in your ask box: ur analysis of mr schwartz is So marvellous & u articulated it so well, that’s Exactly what the song’s like!! i can’t put things into words as well as u did but it reminds me of the feeling like you’re floating outside of your body, like a moment of confusion and derealisation. like you can glimpse how you are perceived and don’t recognise or like it, but it’s like an expectation, or a necessity - thinking particularly of the lines ‘and if we guess who i’m pretending to be/do we get a prize?/having attempted twice both incorrectly/do we get a third try?’ GOD what a insane song
yeah!! expectation or necessity feels right. those lines + glove hand reaching in to hit the switch & there’s not one goddamn thing that you can do about it. i really like it… if there’s one thing alex turner will write about it is various phony male characters and usually its kinda scathing but i feel like he does it with more sympathy here and it MAKES ME FEEL THINGS
anything with enemies to lovers trope!! i'm always up
Ooh! I actually had an idea with this trope earlier this week and it’s in my drafts!
But if you haven’t read these already, these are some of my own enemies to lovers fics and then also some from other authors I like…
Young American - basically a book lol (mine)
Roxy’s Record Store - series (mine)
Harry is Y/N's producer & she doesn't like him (mine)
Y/N & Harry kind of hate each other but have to walk together in their friends' wedding party (mine)
Y/N and Harry got off on the wrong foot but end up being fuck buddies (mine)
Harry and Y/N get in a fight and it leads to a rough fuck (mine)
Others I can think of at the top of my head...
The Long Weekend (@gurugirl)
Tell Me You Hate Me - Male!Reader (@gurugirl)
Carolina (@harrysonlylover) - I classify as enemies to lovers because the MC doesn't like him at first:)
Teenage Dirtbag - Frat!Harry (@jarofstyles) - more banter/sass between them than like full-fledged hatred, but it makes it spicy heehee.
Feel free to drop other recs in the comments:)
thomas cresswell had the audacity to say "you are not mine to take. you are yours to give" and expected my life to remain the same
i love when authors write women who engage in self destructive behavior to claw their way to esteem in an elitist environment when they already have twice the character and skill than those around them
You ever create a fake scenario so good you have to replay that moment over and over again
Hozier really turned my habit of sleeping at 3 am from “oh god I’m so mentally ill and childish” to I take my whiskey neat and my coffee black and I don’t know how I can repay him except add another listened count on Spotify every hour.
in the latest mystery box challenge at 37:02 harry looks so good
for you, anon 😘
being a hater is good and fun and comes free with being a lover but it's also good to practice being an idgafer. sometimes things are just meant to bait you and/or not worth blowing up your whole day over. don't forget that.
i hope charles and max just keep being increasingly weird about each other like
i push you in karting -> i push you back
i end up in f1 -> i'm sure you'll end up there too
i steal your first win -> i unfollow you
i have one sided beef with you -> i pull poor attempts for you to like me again for 2 years
i think we may get along now -> i literally won't shut up about you
i win the WDC championship -> i drop everything to make sure i congratulate you first
i say i like the same ice cream flavour as you -> i open my own ice cream shop
and it just keeps getting more and more insane, good for them!
