13 Bitches

no shade but i have no expectations for the video whatsoever  i just know melanie hates the fact that she has to make a music video for a leaked song
 
plus the concept of the song is a little abstract to represent visually, kinda like void, but i’d rather have something simple than a bunch of blurry nonsense. in a perfect world she’d introduce some male characters harassing her but we know damn well that she would never 

idk how to explain it but in that tunnel vision teaser the mask looks a lot more edited than in the other music videos, it feels like it’s entirely cgi now

Theory here:
So, Melanie posted these stickers for her Gramercy concert in 2014. (same one she performed Gold Diggin’ Love at)

each seems to represent songs…
1 Cry Baby
2 A Thousand Words
3 Dear Porcupines
4 I ORIGINALLY guessed Bittersweet Tragedy, but looking at the merch she sold at the same show, I’m not so sure.
5 Gold Diggin’ Love
6 Dollhouse

These shirts have two donuts who are together and old, one having glasses…
it appears that the donut glasses design represents the concept of the shirt, with “growing mold together”- this COULD be another gem of a song, like GDL, but it also could be BT/nothing at all. Between the shirt, every other design representing a song, as well as these lyrics post that aren’t tied to any song (making it a Mel original probably)

,I’m convinced I’m onto something.

yall this is pretty well done like actually really well done

These jingle ball shows were an opportunity to grow her fan base, you have SZA and Olivia Rodrigo fans in there and most of them are not going to want to listen to someone dressed as a creepy pink alien. This isn't the portals tour where the fans are expecting that this is a live streamed festival with A List headliners... I mean her choice it's just not a good one lol

When the Jingle Ball show was first announced I was really excited and hoped she'd either show up in full prosthetics or just go on as herself. But instead we just got the same half-assed costume as the tour shows, with a handful of Portals songs that she struggled to sing(if it weren't for backing tracks her touring career would've ended years ago).
 
It just feels like we've been seeing the same thing all year and I really feel like she missed an opportunity to do something more unique from her current shows. And it didn't have to be anything flashy or expensive.. just her going on stage and doing a stripped acoustic set in a plain white T-shirt and jeans would've had Twitter screaming for months.

i desperately need a new portals leak

If she didn't just mean that she was waiting on outside funds, I'm confused. Because it almost sounds like she's saying she doesn't care to flesh out the era if she can't make the film, and is only putting out 13 MVs to get it over with now/match her past numbers. I know compromise isn't her thing- but come on.
 
She could've just cut the script to fit 13 slightly longer MVs, solving the "problem" and negating her need for 13 unnecessary, plotless placeholders. PORTALS is already a 1hr6m album, each video backed by thousands at least, so it's crazy that she's acting like there's not enough time or money to execute her ideas in MVs. Other artists don't even get more than 1 or 2 videos per album.. It's odd seeing her waste her opportunities.
