it is! its my second favorite album behind TFJ. im just wondering why her album from 5 years ago is now charting dkjfffh

is everyone okay

last week when my dog looked like she was judging me after i did a stupid little dance. it cracked me up bc her glare looked genuinely human lol when was the last time you pampered yourself? and what did you do?

wow i didnt know cuz i havent been on LB for long but this is so nice to know

i don't have much to add to this tbh, but i can say that i think non-conformity as well as societal outsiders are always attractive/inviting to the lgbtq+ community. we see ourselves in them. i've also always wondered why she doesnt have more of a wlw fanbase. lyrical content aside (aka experiences of a cishet woman's romantic life), theres always a possibility that we wlw could stan a cishet woman as long as their hot lol (cough florence pugh). i know there are other queer women out there who love her, but it's not many in comparison to the predominantly gay male portion of her fanbase. most wlw fans are bisexual women (after all, we do like men unfortunately so we can relate to romancing them), but i have yet to meet a lesbian lana fan! as a bisexual woman, personally my affinity for her came from her storytelling abilities and realness and honesty. it's uncensored and raw, and i really admire that. she was also an outsider, and as i said earlier, i'm sure im subconsciously and naturally drawn to outsiders in any aspect of life.

i like seeing her talk about this stuff

there should be an entire thread just for venting about l+f lmao

i like only half the album (the ones i dont are just not my taste, theyre not bad per se), but honestly the songs i do like are some of the best music ive heard this year!!! she served!

this didnt age well at all

i do agree its the sonically most interesting but i was just shocked since it's been a while since i've heard someone say TFJ is her worst work lol. back when we only had her first two albums, tumblr bitches (aka the majority of her fanbase) were convinced TFJ was her worst, and then the bitching moved from TFJ to froot when it came out in 2015. and after L+F came out most of the critiques were focused on that work as we all know lmao . when i read "tfj is her worst album" i had flashbacks to the girls and gays' tumblrs that reblogged nothing but teen idle and bubblegum bitch lyrics TFJ is a staple in her career not only cuz its her debut but also bc it's messy and weird. and personally, i think the "jangly keyboard" element that the album brings is charming. but you're ofc entitled to ur opinion regardless of how much i disagree w you

i mean i think she could still release it as a side project or smth. i was kind of looking forward to it

i'm setting my expectations super low so that i'll be blown away regardless of it's froot 2.0 or not

MARINAS WRITING M5 ALONE THANK U GOD

wow vehemence so beautiful. gonna have to break in this album a little (how can anything top another eternity) but purity ring's ability to create almost tangible, real space through sound is so cool. blows me away with every album.

HER INSTAGRAM STORYYY

yeah how are they going to edit this season if sh*rry pie is disqualified? will they continue to show her or completely edit her out? or at the very least not feature her commentary?? and-- finally! drag race does something right for once. willam got disqualified for much less so disqualifying sh*rry is only fair

guys please dont make me vote for biden

i think i really took fresh laundry for granted when it came out... cuz im listening to it now and hearing it in a completely different light. these days, no one's bothering me bout nothing........... no. EH.

ahh i see what you mean. true has a nice sound, and i wouldn't mind the production much on superstar or true if the lyrics were just stronger tbh. and i totally agree. thats something i admire about this album, even if it is her weakest, she still changed her sound up and didnt give us anything we'd expect from her!

i think both superstar and true are sonically & lyrically disasters... but yes, i can at least agree that EOTE, EM, STBS are some of the stronger songs off L+F. too afraid lacks lyrically and sonically like superstar and true, but i can kinda overlook it since its such a relatable song. i wouldnt say any of the ones you named have entered the "best marina songs" category for me, they all kinda are lacking an Mmph Factor imo.. i think handmade heaven is the best song off the entire album. i wish it wasnt first tho since it sets the bar really high and none of following songs ever really come close to that level again lol handmade heaven is the only song that i could ever see entering my top 10 fave marina songs. maybe EOTE on a good day...

this thread is barely active these days lol so dont worry about it, personally im glad this was brought up !

yes that one! thank you so much!! and me too.. the original mindset behind 'girls' is probably why she never performs it anymore, either. not like she performs much off TFJ besides oh no and obsessions anyway

i wouldnt say i hate him but he is the main reason im not crazy abt it, yes lmao
