    She is responsible for my animosity towards her poetry book, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

     

    When she announced the poetry book, I was like, "I care much more about the music but it's something she wants to do so okay, cool. Probably will end up buying it ..."

     

    You know, and then she started posting poems and no music, and I was like, "... this is a bit irritating but she wants to do it, so okay, cool. Music soon, surely. Possibly won't buy the book because it's all on Insta anyway ..."

     

    And now I'm like, "FUCK THE POETRY BOOK. STAB IT IN ITS FACE. ME? BUY IT? HAHAHAHAHAHA."

     

    I'll probably still buy it because I'm a sucker

    this is exactly me except minus the small text

    this feels too harsh.. honestly i'm just worried about her mental health, like why is she procrastinating so hard? it could be because of the criticism toward hope, which could explain why her next release isn't actually her own song?

    wasn't hope really critically acclaimed though? i feel like the only reason she would see criticism toward it was if she was combing through sites like this or something. i remember lots of positive press when it came out

    my $0.02 on the hope is a keyboard smash discourse: i actually really love the somewhat awkward, almost ungainly lines (e.g. ipad, shaking my ass, etc. etc.). they kind of break the 4th wall a bit and feel like an allusion to the whole idea of feeling not entirely comfortable in her image/persona. like yes, she could write another song about eternal love and red lipstick and jewelry and being pretty while she cries and her beautiful man and cars and the color blue and drinking and smoking and living fast and dying young and eating ice cream, with lyrics that look and sound pretty and fit into aesthetic moodboards, but instead she inserts these decidedly unpoetic images into her usual template. the whole thing feels almost abrasive: the lyrics, the almost total lack of production (you want strings? you want beats? you want guitars? here, have a couple piano chords), the aggressively informal cover art, the sentence-length, decapitalized title (no other song in her discography has a title like that). the more i think about it, the more it appears like a concerted effort to smash things up, especially considering it's the last complete song we've gotten from her. it seems almost like a tacit scream of frustration, like someone locked in a room (the persona/sound/style/image she's acquired, for better or for worse) banging on the walls and smashing the glass in the picture frames. like, "maybe i can't unlock the door and leave but i can at least subvert what i'm supposed to do in here and how i'm supposed to behave."

     

    maybe i'm reaching but when you put all the pieces together it just feels really sad and desperate and angry idk even despite the chorus and title

    Guys just a friendly reminder (bc it happens on lot on this thread)

     

    Please don’t do that kind of thing where you continue saying things like “hahahahaha” for so many lines in runs into a whole paragraph. It fucks the thread up on mobile. I’m not trying to be controlling or an ass, it’s just annoying trying to read a thread that’s outstretched bc someone’s being extra. It moves the entire thread to the left side of the page and the right side is all the theme with this one little line of “hahahahahahaha” going or those random fucked up letters that look like a mess. It continues it as if it’s one full line of a word but it’s not (bc of the spacing)

     

    Ik this is off topic kind of but just something to think about when you post next time :P

    ohh i got you! i'll go edit that post rn and add line breaks, sorry!

    Words out of my mouth. I know I'm probably being mean, but as someone who has struggled with manic depression my whole life (ty childhood trauma!  ^_^), and also has to live with major anxiety, bpd, ptsd (ty men I trusted not to hurt me! ^_^), and several serious physical health problems, I simply don't have limitless patience for her shit. I can't empathize without criticizing; if I hold myself accountable for the stupid things I do, why shouldn't I hold you too? And I'm a thousand times harder on myself than I am on anyone else. Nobody ever grew by being allowed to get away with everything. Even those of us with mental health issues. We all need to understand that actions have consequences. I think the main problem here is her immaturity, irresponsibility and lack of self-awareness. I feel for her, like I always have, but I don't have the patience to make excuse after excuse for her and her behavior.

    i 100% agree, like as much as i possibly can. if this is the case with her it's absolutely not a free pass for her to get away with being irresponsible/lazy/uncommunicative. sure, it makes it a lot harder, and it sucks, and i really do feel for anyone in that position...but as someone else with a long and winding history of various types of mental health fuckery that i too still live with currently, that doesn't mean your responsibilities suddenly vanish.

     

    (also not to derail the thread but the part i put in bold is something i've never even thought about that makes SO much sense. i tend to beat myself up over every little thing and give other people the benefit of the doubt for so much longer than they deserve. why on earth shouldn't i hold them to a similar standard? idk why i've never thought much about that but it makes perfect sense to me. my triple cancer/12th house stellium ass just wants to baby everyone but myself lol)

    ok put me in a clown costume and call me president of speculation nation but honestly the only theory that makes real sense to me, as far as the album delay, is that she's depressed and just doesn't care about nfr anymore. i don't want to be some self-important armchair psychologist and run around throwing diagnoses at people with my absolute and total lack of any qualifications, but i just think it's a strong possibility, based on my own experiences. i went through something like this a few months ago where i just absolutely lost all interest and motivation toward what has been my number one passion for essentially my whole life, and it was, to put it mildly, fucking miserable. i know that, for myself, i absolutely cannot put work or effort into anything unless i'm somehow inspired by it or convinced of its importance, and when i lose interest there's no way it will happen. i have to wonder if she's in a similar boat. i know i'm the first to trash her up and down and call her lazy and irresponsible for not communicating with us, but i do genuinely feel bad if it's a mental health thing bc i can empathize.
