Daisy theme, Karlie? Really? I swear if this baby is named Daisy?? I mean, that specific flower was a choice! Especially AFTER Taylor wore all them damn daisies this week. Also, you know the shower was planned way before this past week. š
isnāt that something?
āI can't speak afraid to jinx it
I don't even dare to wish it

okay so we have been talking about how misty goes over to taylor during certain parts of the song but i was just watching a recording online where they distort the sound to avoid copyright conflict and so i was watching the performance purely visually and not trying to think about the connection to the lyrics and itās quite literally that
āļø Listen to the "So it goes..." 1, 2, 3 snippet
Who's counting? (One, two, three) And all the pieces fall. Right into place. Getting caught up in a moment. Lipstick on your face. So it goes. I'm yours to keep. And I'm yours to lose. You know I'm not a bad girl. But I do bad things with you. So it goes.
March 3, 2023:
Am I the only one still thinking about Karlie's 1,2,3...? š¤
I saw that Met post you posted and I never saw that article of Karlie. So whatās the actual story because Karlie said that they did meet in 2011 and talked about baking at Met Gala but I thought they always went with the story that they met at VSFS. Did they talk at Met but then didnāt hang out again until VSFS?
Previous post + (Link to the article of Karlie mentioning meeting Tay at the Met)
That's what i'm curious about too anon! I'm not entirely sure why they pushed the narrative of officially meeting at the VSFS 2013. Maybe someday we'll know exactly why. Maybe their Met Gala 2011 meeting was not the right time bc one (or both) of them were already in a relationship.. maybe they did stay in contact and was friendly with each other even before VSFS. Iirc, there was a rep secret session thing where taylor talks about how her and "joe" got together? (Not sure if these are the exact screenshots, i just googled it quickly)
"Later on, they met up again but things turned romantic" - hence maybe why they emphasized on VSFS '13? š I feel like Taylor was talking about her actual history with Karlie here. Joe has always been the Karlie stand-in, the fact that Toe's "first meeting" was at the Met??? Mimicking Kaylor's first actual (recorded) meeting at the Met Gala 2011? And then the "next time they met things turned romantic" mimicking Kaylor's "official" meeting at VSFS?? None of it was accidental.š¤
Okay, just earlier today I did a post like this with the connections between JackOLanternās messages and Youāre Losing Meā¦.but now the Karma music video is out and I AM LOSING MY SHIT. Iām 113% certain thereās things Iām missing, BUT OH WELL.
-
š Message 3: āSomersaulting past ancient artifacts, stopping only to admire a statue or two. āĀ
(Note: this scene transitions by TaylorĀ leaning over and the camera spinningĀ in a circle to begin the next sceneā¦kind of a somersault.)
(also, wasnāt there just recently a big, long post about the justiceĀ tarot card relating to flag anon and that infamous betty/lavender haze mad men episode?)
-
š Message 8: āYou have always craved destruction. Scrawled devil horns on photos of yourself. This is different.ā
š Message 3 āDressed in your wifeās black leather and the mask of an illusionistāĀ
(Note: @9w1ftā has a great post on how similar Taylorās outfit here is to Karlieās met gala lookā¦.š) (2nd Note: This message from š ends with the main character striking a matchā¦this scene from the music video is veryā¦.flame-y.)
One more thought on this oneā¦
š Message 11: āSheep have removed their wolfās clothing with relief. Masqueraders with masks removedā¦ā
(This line always stuck out to me in JackOLanternās last big message. Usually the phrase is reversedĀ āA wolf in sheepās clothing.ā Which suggest a predator pretending to be prey for a chance to attack.Ā āSheep in wolfās clothingā would mean prey pretending to be a predatorā¦perhaps to avoid being attacked by the other wolves? Did pumpkin anon just put into words what being closeted feels like PERFECTLY? Holding that line from their message up to this scene, where taylor is behind the mask of a devilā¦.and then smiles and waves once she takes it offā¦..iām thinking sooo many thoughts about this.)

this one has LAYERSSS so bear with me!
in this scene, not only does it have a flourishing garden with patches of daisiesā¦it also has a castle on the hill that she has wandered far away from, happy-go-lucky childlike body language, AND wizard of oz imageryā¦.
š Message 4: āThe story of the person behind the curtain.āĀ
(HELLO WIZARD OF OZ?!?!?!)
š Message 7: āYou are walking through your yard. Itās one of your favorite places, all sprawling garden rows and vibrant green grass [ā¦] There are daisies - so many daisies - in every shade of your rainbow.āĀ
(Note: These daisies in the video are pink + goldā¦..literally lesbian flag colors. All the flowers in this scene areā¦ā¦)
š Message 7: āā¦and set your foot on each stepping stone of the path that leads right to them. The house is a little farther nowā¦ā
(Note: The castle can be seen in this scene way in the background, up on a hill. ALSO, she is following a brick roadā¦.aka a stone pathā¦.I MEAN)
*BONUS!Ā š Message 2: āYou are on the balcony of an ice castle.ā
š Message 7: āā¦but you are still within the confines of your tall and impenetrable fence. Nothing comes through that fence. Not now and not ever. Within it you are safe.ā
(This feels the way the fence is described in JackOLanternās storyā¦with all good, safe, unbothered things on one side, and unknown depths of darkness on the otherā¦.also the 3 grim reapers are anā¦interesting choiceā¦.)
š Message 7:Ā āCaught up in a moment of buoyant childlike whimsy, you make a wish and blow, blow, blow. Hundreds of featherly florets scatter. You laugh. You watch as they ride the breezeā¦ā
(I MEAN COME ON!!! She is skipping around with a very childlike, lighthearted body language, and then she freaking blows purple glitter over TOWARDS HER ENEMIESā¦ā¦..!!!)
also worth noting that there is a little rabbit hidden in the gardenā¦werenāt there some epic alice in wonderland connections made to JackOLantern recently?Ā š¤
-
š Message 10: āYou wander through the woods. Deep in this Enchanted Forest [ā¦] You squint to make sense of your surroundings through the fogā¦ā
(This one isnāt exactā¦but to have clouds/fog descendingĀ onto a thick wilderness/mountain/forest sceneā¦ā¦..itās all just really delicate, you know?)
-
Note: the entire boat/pirate/nautical message + Ice Spice has a lyric that mentions waving white flags - which brings to mind pirates and surrender for me personally. (which isā¦.exactly what that message was about. the main character surrendering herself to the bad guys.)
-
š message 9:Ā āAnd now it is just a matter of time. The dripping of candle wax. The ticking of a clock.ā
(Noteā¦including their final goodbye message, we receivedĀ 12 messages from JackOLanternā¦.like the hours on a clockā¦)
-
THAT IS ALL I CAN SPOT RIGHT NOW. MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING. OH MY GOD. @spade-riddlesā
saw these on twitter.. š¤
Oh yeah there is legitimately lyrics to The Alcott that are physically inscribed into the cement of the sidewalks right near Cornelia Street, I guess nobody thought to tell you about it because of all the Problematty fatigue Taylor has put us through š
well isnāt that something!
Sheās stepping into the daylight in every room of the lover house š
in the opening sequence daylight is definitely flooding the house with light, and in some cases she does seem to be looking out at it š
yes! acceptance is key...
I understand Taylor wanting to have their second child close to their first. Thatās valid, and the biological clock is a real thing. What I donāt understand is why she didnāt get real with us and warn us it was coming. Then we could make our decisions whether or not to stick around for the next two years, ten years, forever closet ⦠whatever the new plan is supposed to be.
Sheās always so careful to keep us hanging on just a little while longer. Why not fucking level with us, for once? Yes, weāre all adults and she doesnāt owe us a coming out. That doesnāt mean itās fun to be attacked by the rest of her fans and subjected to constant homophobia from them, which she KNOWS flares up when the antis get a āwinā like this. All she had to do was give us a heads up so we could prepare ourselves, or be honest about her plans and let us tap out if we need to.Ā
And no, singing Coney Island the week The National drop a new album doesnāt count as a warning.Ā
Iām tired.Ā
Ahhh so now we know why Mariska specifically looked for a photo with Karlie in it to post š„° kk's warmth! š
Mariska (talking about the day they were filming Bad Blood mv) : The day we got to the video.. you know I met a lot of them before but like, Karlie Kloss just grabbed my hand she's like 'I'm staying with you'. And it's one of those things where you just go, like I felt like I was in seventh grade and the cool girl picked me!
