This scene. Of all the scenes, this is the one that literally got me to cry. It was like something out of a fic. They were all together and happy and goofing around in Iroh’s tea shop together like friends should and it made me so soft.
(Zuko’s apology to Iroh also got me. And leaves from the vine.)
Lover is a whole lot of album to process, but it’s not exhausting, per se. Rather, it’s musically and lyrically rich, fulfilling in the same way that staying up all night and having a heart-to-heart conversation with an old friend is. Swift sounds comfortable enough in her own skin to invite listeners into her orbit more than ever. She proves once and for all she’s a lover, not a fighter.

“You lost her. And now she lights up the night-time sky for her new lover cause he recognized her as the moon. And you envy him. She could’ve been your moon, but you were too busy chasing the dimly lit stars.”
— Zienab Hamdan - Admit it, you messed up (via whavies)
i love seeing best friends goofing around in public. i love seeing couples laughing together. i love seeing little kids walking hand in hand with their parents. i love seeing dogs running happily back to their owners. i love seeing closeness and positive relationships, and knowing all that love is out there
