Beautiful Loser

Ermahgerd she really does look like straight out of 2012, I’d barely tell the difference if someone showed me this picture in like five years!

Ok, so I just watched the video Amadeus posted above from March 3rd and below are my thoughts lol. Why did I hear Armenia's singer sing "I'mma put jeans on you!" when I read the song title (chains on you) just seconds before? If Germany does well, I can imagine it being played on radio stations here and me getting tired of it after the third play on the same day. I have no idea how Iceland will do, it will either do terribly or get lots of votes because they're kind of funny. There's no in between lol. I did not expect Latvia to send substep lmao! Sounds too noisy to me... And Serbia!! You do NOT pronounce the H in "hasta"! It'll be interesting to see if Spain's singer will hit that high falsetto note live on stage. A firework on Ukraine's guitar! And like 'deus said, Bulgaria is really sending Billie Eilish lol.

So this is Prince Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd from Fire Emblem: Three Houses who’s been through more than should be allowed and eventually went insane and really terrifying. Despite that, I can’t help but really love him, I just feel sorry for him. He’s had a shitty life to put it mildly. I haven’t finished the game yet though so I hope he’ll get a happy ending! If you know me, you know that I love Hamlet as well and I guess I was inspired by the “Alas, poor Yorrick!” scene but I felt that looking at a skull with a frown wouldn’t suit Dimitri... he’s just that terrifying. I kind of regretted drawing the lines as background but it was too late to stop when I had drawn the first lines. It looks too harsh, but I felt that a completely white background would seem too... empty.

Is her hair looking darker here or is it just me?

Maybe try this thread next time: http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/10398-random-lana-discussion/page-1

Kind of commissioned by a fellow ZU staff last night when they joked around in the staff chat. So, uh, happy MAR10 day I guess. :B

Ooooh, she’s turning blonder!

I’ve only listened through the first five songs, I’m on the sixth now, and they don’t interest me at all. I can hear some lo-fi influences though and I appreciate that.

I was so focused on the shouting that I forgot to look for her. o____o

This is the first time I want more pictures from a church visit just so I can admire her hair some more.

Reading this thread made me forget about my depressing life for a moment, thank you all. <3

mother of pearl

I don’t know guys, I don’t think we can say she’s lying because she can talk fine in the video. She’s supposed to rest her voice which means not straining it; so no singing or ted talks for like 60 minutes straight. I think it’s fine if she speaks for a few seconds or minutes in a normal tone, that should be alright? I’m glad she’s not like having a sore throat like how you can get when you’re having the flu when everything hurts to eat and you sound horrible when speaking. No one said her voice was super bad or not. The information to the ticket buyers simply said she had to rest her voice, which I still believe she’s doing. What I do think is shitty since day one is that they didn’t announce the canceled shows earlier (especially if they canceled their hotel rooms - they had known for a while then that this tour leg wouldn’t happen) and that it took Lana days to film a video, saying she’ll find a way to make it up to the ticket buyers (when we know she won’t) and then go on mentioning future shows. Like, ok. But wouldn’t it have been better to say that you’re really sorry for the canceled shows and that you’re working on booking new dates? Future shows are fun for us who aren’t attending and are curious of what she’ll wear (and perhaps the setlist I dunno) but won’t do much to the ones who didn’t get the show they had planned months for.

The sad thing is that we know she won’t make it up unless she reschedules the shows, which is something she’s never bothered to do before so I doubt she’ll consider doing it this time too.

Omgggg nooooo I’m so sorry!!! :(

When fans say they don’t feel excited to see her shows or consider not going because they know it’ll be a lackluster, something has to change. I know we’re like one 1% of Lana’s fan base or something, but we’re some of the most dedicated stans, and if Lana and/or her management really lurk on this forum, I hope they see how fans feel about this and actually do something. Something is just wrong, it shouldn’t be like this. We began complaining about the pre-recorded back vocals in 2017 and if this continues, with Lana casually strolling around on stage with a half-eaten peach in her hand and only puts on a real show in LA, I’d start to worry about the upcoming shows/years if I were her managers. This attitude her band members seem to have, that nothing needs to be changed because people will still come to the shows, that’s dangerous. They can only play so many shows before people who has seen them once or twice starts considering spending their money on other artists or things. There’ll always be fans out there who hasn’t seen her yet and will do anything to go if they get the chance and there will be stans who will go to every show, but some of us won’t go unless something changes. I don’t know... I just don’t think this is good at all. And like all of you have already said, she really should’ve tweeted or made a post on IG that she’s sorry for canceling the shows on such a short notice. We’d still be mad about it, but at least it would’ve looked like she really cares.

Maybe she just wants to release albums and call it a day, but touring brings in a lot of money and albums don’t sell as well in this era of streaming. She probably has to tour. Or maybe she does like touring but just comes off as lazy and uninterested most of time, who knows lol.

I almost forgot to share it here too - just something quick I made after the Nintendo Direct with Animal Crossing: New Horizons news. They said they’ll have a “NookLink” app and, well, since I’m a Zelda nerd, this is what popped up in my mind lol.

I guess this means she shouldn’t strain her voice by recording poems for Violet either. :/

I wouldn't count them out.

Just watched the Nintendo Direct! Aaah, there's so much customization you can do! I heard Resetti's theme song somewhere in the Direct, so hopefully they've found a new purpose for him in the game. Everything looks great, but I'm still not sure if I'll buy it. I think I'll wait and see if my sister-in-law buys it (she said she wanted the game) and watch her play some for me or see if I can borrow her copy and give it a try myself. (Also, anyone else who think it's fun that they're referring the island to be "deserted" when it has an airport? )

I doubt it’s the corona virus that’s making her cancel the leg. From what I’ve heard, it gives you a fever and is overall pretty annoying to have but shouldn’t be a huge risk for people who aren’t suffering from other diseases simultaneously? Of course you should be careful and take precautions to not get sick, but... Hm, I don’t think the virus is the reason behind the canceled shows. If it would be, she wouldn’t be very safe in the US too, don’t they have corona patients there too? What about California? Nah, I believe she’s having problems with her voice.

Lmao, so true. xD

I get your point. But I’m just not that excited to pay more money for a similar show I’ve already seen twice, especially when I don’t have a big income. (But I’d probably think differently if she would play one night in my country on this tour - flights and accommodation overseas cost a lot of money too, money I would feel bad for spending) I try to buy myself as few things as possible lol, there’s stuff I really want but I keep waiting until later. I couldn’t stop myself from buying Tame Impala’s album yesterday though.
