LaMartine

ilu doggo sometimes people who get raped by family/close friends still do hang out with their rapists and try to compartmentalize their relationships (until eventually they implode) and i wished i'd seen less of "well why didn't she fight back, push her away, left" and more of "why didn't martinez back off, why can't she seek enthusiastic sexual partners instead - like all of us, why does she pressure and nag people for sex, why doesn't no mean no, why would she have power trips with the people she claims to be friends with" There are so many sources about how false rape accusations are rare, it's all good to always critically take in an information but it's not our objective to be the prosecutors and find every way to shut down a victim and disparage them. We should rather make sure to unlearn some of our biases, like teaching guys (and everyone else) that women can be rapists and it's possible to be raped by a girl and it doesn't change how grave this act is, not shaming someone who was raped should be the norm and having an unconventional lifestyle (drugs, being homeless or other) doesn't take away that someone could have been damaged like that.

maybe as an artist (i don't know much about her) but to the world, as a person she's finished à partir de right the fucking now (or yesterday)

I love you too sister, sending you a hug xxx

I was afraid of this, her doing this to other people. Wearing down people for sex is not them consenting, I'm glad that these allegations might have stopped an eventual serial rapist. (if she isn't one already ofc) Also my heart goes to the people in this thread who lived these atrocities. It's true that women freeze in the face of someone attacking them, from a young age we see women around us represented as passive and acted upon and that it's always possible for us to become victims so we are overflowed by fear and shame when it happens. Also people go numb and quiet to avoid the worst and it's common not to aknowledge it happened because it's difficult to process afterwards.

0:30 and from 0:45 a part for speaking in general terms there's not much we can contribute to this specific case, especially with a such bad statement from Martinez

I'm so sorry it happened to you, condoleances. And you're right about court.

I'm a bit worried of how some people think it's "soo easy" to accuse someone of rape? First of all, when something like that happens it literally takes a toll on your body and mind, that makes it even more difficult to go through the process of reporting it. Which is why many rape victims just keep it to themselves. Plus, people who deal with their emotions and thoughts normally can't nonchalantly accuse someone of raping them. this is why false accusations of rape are rare and, for the most part, aren't received as relevant. Also even if Tim did struggle in her career, starting one by accusing someone - even is she's right - is madness. Women in the workforce were told, until recently maybe bc times are changing, that they needed to shut up about their sexual assault because even if it happened it could ruin their careers. And women artists don't want to be seen as -at best- victims or worse cunning liars because they risk to never be taken seriously in their craft. I'll add that if people decide to destroy their cds/vinyls well they are in their own rights: it's their stuff and they can do what they want. And MM didn't handle the response appropriately.

Sorry, what? Who? How?

for having an iconic tumblr already

wow, thank god she had asap to feature with her then, g-eazy's music is really not my thing and asap has a nice flow (plus the instrumental on sb is dreamy, and we have asap's producer to thank? i think?) yeah i feel bad (and protective) for lana too :/ ultimately she'll be alright or already is

yeah i'm glad lana wasn't in it but geazy didn't even bother commissioning another cover art because come on: https://www.instagram.com/p/BcIxq12jVQc/?taken-by=g_eazy daisy crowns in 2017, really

we don't deserve HM, i've been listening to MTWBT on repeat today. Ultimate sexy/sultry song.

i expect a red/pink soft grunge aesthetic a lot of tumblrs got going on these are my expectations, i think the video will look pretty nonetheless but i really really hope for some actual plot but :/ i'll hold my thought on that and if it's going to be good

surf rock, desert rock, hawaii glam, ... It's all good (except for the trap lfl-style)

I can't wait for LDR6 because there's so much speculative info at the moment: now that LFL is an album that kinda comes full circle, with the BTD parallels, it's interesting that some of Lana's hints about eventual future projects seem like spinoffs or additions, like a christmas album or an unreleased collection, which should "step out" of her narrative, and have her go though something new and different. Maybe she needs a pause. At the same time, with Get Free as a closer she seems to be planning a continuation, while bringing a new concept. But she could also not do any of this, just for the lols.

damn i deleted one of my faves of these:

i love this there are so many the before after meme is my fave: actually i wrote a long reply but couldn't send it, now la flemme

I personally think it might be cramps and sloppy handwriting, the movement seems consistent enough; but if people really had to argument for fake signatures they could do it better.

at the end of the day it's always possible that signatures can be fake, but i really don't like these people's attitudes and the fact they're so quick to throw big words like "fraud" and "pretending to care about their fans" and "just a bunch of pretty faces ussd to make money by rich powerful men. That is what most of the pop industry is...", so insightful. Even the premises describing how low priced these signed items are and all of that seemed tailored to fit into a narrative, so I feel they wrote them off as guilty without much of a thought. So, not sure we should be taking their expertise at face value. analysing handwriting, to know their authenticity and have info on the graphology is a long meticulous job and it's not even an actual exact science. If some people have money and time to spare I'd suggest to hire an unbiased professional who will then analyse a selection of actual litographs, and not just pictures, to debunk these rumours and if it's true it will help scaring off artists who do that. Also, it's possible to write a letter very differently, even in the same word, and I have uncomfortable memories of high speed writing 8/10 pages during less 2 hours classes with my so called penmanship just turning into ugly undefined scrawls. So, they could be right in their conclusions but I don't approve of their methods. I know that artists get defensive and lie continuously ( ) and that they don't owe us pieces of them but it'd be very disappointing if the signatures were fake, if it's true it should be stopped and the damage repaired.

judging some of these choices ... wow NME that's so basic. But I can see why they choose big singles rather than deep cuts. Imagine thinking this whole list was the crème de la crème of music in 2017

lana this era dresses like a 90s babe

i love how your impressions are chronological, so hopefully the next record should have an autumn/winter feel so it doesn't break your cycle?

bye and rot in hell

i found this surprisingly accurate review of live!lana and her wearing black at concerts http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/event/article-4820302/Lana-Del-Rey-review-Struggles-impose-herself.html

Lana is the girl everyone thinks is aloof and spooky but in reality is all sweet and touchy feely at parties queen of knowing her angles, she's so cute and it must have been cold out there
