i can't believe i'm saying this, but... gorgeous, gorgeous feet

if he's "basic" to you i'm almost afraid to know what you consider above-average looks like, because...

okay, so... i decided to listen to the song, and i'm only 1 minute in, and... it's bad! i agree with everything @111 is saying i fear... her vocals sound really robotic, instrumental is too polished, yet very bland and uninspired, also... don't even get me started on the high-pitched vocals which i'm pretty sure are just sung by a kid, horrible artistic choice and genuinely painful to listen to i think fans have every reason to be upset about the fact that an artist they loved, who once made genuinely insightful, interesting songs, like are you satisfied?, obsessions, mowgli's road, state of dreaming, and valley of the dolls, is now making cringy, derivate songs which are meant to be "empowering" but say absolutely nothing new, inspiring, or beneficial to anyone, which is exactly what the entertainment industry tries to sell to people, especially women, while providing nothing of substance how unfortunate! i can't see them playing this monotonously and mindlessly over the speakers of forever21 while people buy their cheap ugly polyester dresses due to the high-pitched kid vocals... maybe they could try justice instead! her singing voice is too beautiful for shit like this

haven't listened to the song, i might not ever, but could somebody explain the nachos thing to me? i keep seeing people say it here

on the cover of "life" there's a picture of marilyn just like she's alive again ♥︎

lizzystrailer was iconic, you just had to be there in 2019 when they were making the cutest VHS lizzy grant edits imaginable also, i remember someone from around that time by the name of daytonayayo who made an edit of the summertime sadness music video with try tonight as the music which was so unique and beautiful

probably not, elon musk was viewed very differently in the 2010's compared to now, back then i believe he was mostly viewed as just some quirky rich guy who was invested in technology, i had that view of him back in the mid-2010s, so much has changed over the years

@Coloringbooks like i had mentioned before in my previous post... there's really no definitive way to judge whether or not the person in her drawing is meant to be underage or not, I PERSONALLY see it more as a young adult man, while, at the same time, i can see how it could be interpreted as somebody young, but, like i had also previously mentioned, it's heavily stylized, and not anatomically-incorrect, it's not a hyper-realistic drawing which is completely true to life, so it feels futile to try to dissect whether or not it's supposed to depict somebody under or over the age of 18, only hayden could know what it's intended to be i'm sure we can all agree the drawing is very weird, and perhaps wasn't right to share, but fighting over it isn't productive or going to lead anywhere, if somebody finds out about an artist's controversies and decides they no longer want to support them, that's fine, but going into the artist's designated thread which will be visited and posted in by fans and bringing up controversies, or trying to start controversies is really just asking for arguments, disagreements, and discourse which isn't needed, i don't think there's anything wrong with discussing controversies when they come up, but the only times we've discussed controversies surrounding her recently was when people who didn't like her randomly came in and brought something up, and some of the things which were deemed controversial, or, reasons to not like her were pretty asinine, especially in comparison to what other artists have done, including... editing her own wikipedia page, being pro-life when she was 14, 12 years ago, and making some dumb tweet of course her fans are going to try and justify her... they're her fans, although not everyone here has blindly defended her and claimed that the drawing was a-okay and not weird at all, at least, i didn't, anyone could easily go into the melanie martinez thread, point out her rape allegations, and say the exact same thing you did

stoplight de-lite ---> i had a man, he was sweet as pie v cola ---> my eyes are wide like cherry pie // all he wants to is party with his pretty baby v pretty baby ---> my mean daddy, my bad baby v tired of singing the blues ---> i want to be bad dynamite ---> fuck it, i love you

her drawing is definitely strange, and uncomfortable to look at, but i've heard people online claim it's intended to be someone of age, despite being drawn in a chibi style, so i don't know if it's automatically fair to brand it as CP or CP-adjacent, art is often very subjective and interpretable, and can often be misunderstood as well, i personally think it looks like a young man drawn in a chibi-like style, and also, it's heavily-stylized, and honestly not very anatomically-correct, so in that case, i feel like trying to dissect and analyze whether or not it's intended to be somebody of age is just a losing game, only hayden herself could know that for sure i do think the drawing is very jarring, and absolutely inappropriate, at least, to share online, if it is depicting somebody underage, especially since the caption is pretty cheeky about it, and not taking it and what it depicts very seriously, i'm not one to dictate art, but i do believe it's highly inappropriate for someone to make depictions of children sexually/violently (assuming it is intended to be a child), we can't know for sure what exactly inspired her to draw something like that, but it should be very obvious by now that her work touches on many heavy subjects, of which have been relevant to her life, such as religion, sexuality, trauma, ETC. so perhaps there's more reasoning behind such a drawing, regardless, it likely wasn't appropriate for her to share publicly at the end of the day... there's nothing we can do to change what artists have done in the past, we just have to decide whether or not we can look past certain things, and choose to continue to engage with someone's work, or not, not too long ago people here were criticizing her for being pro-life 12 years ago when she was like, 14 (which was RIDICULOUS lol people were just grasping at straws trying to find reasons to hate on her) or for some stupid edgy legalize incest shirt, and it's especially silly to me seeing people here fight about it while simultaneously being fans of artists who have done similarly questionable or worse things, including LDR! some would argue it was really weird for her to use footage from a kiddie pageant documentary in her homemade music videos, something i actually personally feel a bit uncomfortable with, but it's not enough for me to stop supporting her, are we brigading the melanie martinez thread talking about her sexual assault allegations? no, or, at least, i haven't, i can't recall that ever happening in recent times it just seems like fighting over artists and what problematic things they have done just doesn't go anywhere, especially doing it in the artist's designated thread which will be populated by fans, we're all aware of hayden's actions, artistic choices, ETC. we aren't oblivious to it, we still choose to listen to her music anyway, just like with any other fans of artist who have done strange/questionable/bad things

i honestly love her message, she is so right about being careful online and being discerning about who you meet, who you grow close to, and what you choose to share with them, which also applies to people you meet in "real life", also, i love what she said about being aware that you don't have to change and make the wrong decisions just because other people have, you can tell she cares, very smart <3
