i dont know who the fuck made this secret. they took my vent comment and turned it into an image and im pissed off but ill explain: yes. anytime people talk about taylor swift, it always involves some unreal shit and speculation into her mind and thoughts and who she is, and its bizarre and creepy. hence, schizoposting.

someone had the audacity to tell me everyone was being normal while speculating on a stranger celebrities romantic life. shes not a writer or an actual artist she's been a marketing person from day 0. like yeah i get i see the cover of people magazine at the grocery store, but just because something has been normalized doesnt mean its not freakass behavior. i would ban all discussion of all actors/real people if i could, keep it to the fictional.

Most of her song writing is diaristic. A certain degree of speculation over what her songs are about is normal and basically inevitable.

Also, "she's not a writer or an actual artist"? Jesus dude, that's a wild take and a shitty one.

i meant great* writer or artist. what she has been, from the beginning, is a businesswoman. writing involves editing. art involves vision. et cetera.

That's not my thing either, but ... it's a whole subset of what fandom does: come up with backstories that might be completely fictional, and everyone knows that they don't have any firm basis at all? Authors whose brain works like this sometimes explain the process in detail; I think I recently read about Virginia Woolf doing a whole piece about how she met an old lady on a train ride and made up a whole eccentric life for the lady, where she goes home and eats sea urchins off a little saucer or some such. It's not how I think about people. It's certainly not where I get my ideas for stories. And I suspect if she'd *asked* the lady, she would have found out that her actual life was quite different. But apparently that's not the point of the fantasizing. And I've seen it as a premise for people's imagination to jump off from in fandom often enough that I mostly get annoyed when fans who do it get overbearing about wanting to say *everyone* does it, because no, we absolutely don't. But as far as I can tell, they're not hurting anyone, anon.

I'm a lot less tolerant of the people who get really upset if someone else's headcanon contradicts theirs or tries to act like whatever their brain made up is totally and literally true, though. That seems inconsiderate, unnecessary, and pushy.
