You Wouldn’t Last An Hour In The Asylum Where They Raised Me - Blog Posts
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? is THE Wanda Maximoff song.
"you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me"
"I levitate down your street"
"you don't get to tell me about sad"
"you don't get to tell me you feel bad"
"they say they didn't do it to hurt me, but what if they did?"
"all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs"
"i was tame, i was gentle, till the circus life made me mean"
"you lured me, and you hurt me, and you taught me"
"you caged me and then you call me crazy"
"Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"
happy one year anniversary to what has become my go to album as a mentally ill girly who has literally never gotten over anything ever: the tortured mental illness- i mean the tortured poets department🖤🤍
easily a top 3 taylor album for me!
and a special shoutout to my favorite songs on the album:
peter (HUGE fav, probably #1), who’s afraid of little old me? (another HUGE fav), so long london, the prophecy (SAD fav), my boy only breaks his favorite toys (UNDERRATED fav), the bolter, guilty as sin, fresh out the slammer, loml, down bad, cassandra, i hate it here, how did it end?, so high school, i can do it with a broken heart, the alchemy, chloe or sam or sophia or marcus, the smallest man who ever lived & i look in people’s windows
which is more culturally significant the renaissance or youtube shows created by 12-17 year olds playing with children’s toys.
the way i had a whole fic quartet that was essentially a spirit animals rewrite but the four fallen were actually animals summoned from our world as it was suddenly ending and transported to erdas right in front of these kids out of the blue.
but here’s the kicker: the animals have no freaking clue they aren’t on earth anymore or that their homeworld was destroyed so they recruit these kids to help them find their way back home. the animals speak to their kids telepathically and it’s very hashtag found family with the core four and the four fallen it was so bonkers actually.
could you imagine how good spirit animals would be if it wasn't written as a children's series
