It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰 Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.

the way adam’s absolutely shit-scared of ronan’s true form but as soon as he realises it’s just ronan he immediately starts laughing in excitement and disbelief.. he saw that big black branching alien entity and was like haha found you ! ♥️
i think people forget too often.
the domino twins were just as much cody's boys as they were rex's
ok now that i finally finished solo, i will officially declare that solo is a good star wars movie, u guys are just mean 😔
I’d like to give a big shout out to the writers behind this new season of Shadow and Bone. It takes some real cajones to rush a story and sink both major ships after baiting the women who drove the interest for years and then turn around and ask them to support your spin off.
i think the reason Commander Cody’s character is often undersold is because his story isn’t ever told in any one story. his screentime in tcw is low, but meaningful, his appearances in comics are incredible, but overlooked, he isn’t touched on much in RotS, but his personality is still super obvious there, and he’s only in one episode of Bad Batch, but he quite literally changed the entire course of the season with his short amount of time. all of it is rich and shows how much he cares about the people around him and that’s what makes him such a great character. he doesn’t need hours of time to make a difference in the other characters around him, he does that naturally no matter what
the hill I will die on is that the most tragic story in star wars is the clones' story
About a year and half ago I wrote a song about an incredible story, the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her longing and her stillness. Her curiosity and fear, all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness… and the world’s betrayal of it. I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then Aaron Dessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment in time when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now 🥺

The thing I really love about Cody’s story in “The Solitary Clone” is that he reflected on what happened and his reality on his own, that his realizations were his own, nobody beat it into his head, nobody had to shake him away, Cody did that on all his own. Cody’s ability to think for himself, to navigate his way through his own mind, was what brought him through the conditioning in his head. That doesn’t have to negate that the Jedi’s effect on the clones was foundational and tremendous, that they helped give the clones the chance to grow into these people. But it also is still Cody’s own damn work on his own damn mind that brought him to where he was. The thing I really don’t love about Cody’s story in “The Solitary Clone” is that he could have been replaced with just about any other character and it would have had nearly as much impact, because this was a story about Crosshair, not about Cody. We never even see Cody’s realization or the moment he leaves, Cody was set dressing for Crosshair’s story, and wound up being a cameo more than actually getting a story. I’m not opposed to every single episode of the show having a cameo–even if I think they’re relying too heavily on them to draw in viewers and thus undercutting the idea that these characters might actually get a hefty story being told about them, instead of having it done in tiny snippets here and there. But that’s my frustration with Cody’s story, that what’s there isn’t bad, but because he’s a cameo in someone else’s story, his story is told in the background and we only see half of it. Cody deserves better than to have his story told that way.
