knives

wouldve never expected her to do a collab like this. makes me worried for future projects, ngl. i dont like to be negative on here, but lately ive been thinking that maybe the 3 album curse is real

"now that im in bloom all my colours show"

Norman Fucking Rockwell - 8 Mariners Apartment Complex - 17 Venice Bitch - 19 California - 18 Bartender - 79

cruel doesnt sound like a marina song but i just know if she were to perform it live we'd all lose our shit alright

fghdfghfgh i either couldnt picture a mv for that song, or the one we got (venice bitch) was unneccessary and didnt really add anything to the experience of the song. vb is one of my favorite songs of all time but i never watch the mv bc i dont really feel like it "does" anything, if that makes sense lol other than that, they didnt get a mv bc other, more "public-friendly" songs did and i couldnt picture lana giving us a mv for every song. i want them to get a mv i but im trying to remain realistic here lol

* = accompanied by a music video, and all without are promo singles

for real....although, to be completely honest i think this era died so quickly bc the album wasnt what a lot of people wanted lol

it was my fave album + era at the time, so i can relate. i was so sad i didnt know what to do w myself when the era officially ended. i only caught the tail-end of it (became a fan in jan 2013) but holy moly it changed my life. how i survived i dont know but im glad i did to experience froot, regardless of how messy that era was sjdfgsf

sometimes i forget marina said electra heart CHOSE draco as her "father figure"

after listening to purgatory for the 5,000th time today i realized the beginning is probably referencing goosebumps with that piano.....iconic

i forgot how flawless the transitions are from song to song

i mean the outfit isnt terrible but its more elaborate than the other two..

at least this one is decent quality

i dont think lana wants to give specific shout-outs to her gay fanbase bc it seems like pandering to them. ik marina has said something along these lines too when asked abt her gay fanbase. lana undoubtedly knows her demographic, but she's probably afraid of how a public statement be perceived? i mean, its not like every chance lana gets she gives shout-outs to her fanbase of white teenage girls; pandering to her fanbase is just not her style (i mean we dont even have a fucking fandom name lmao). this type of thing is a "damn if you do, damned if you don't" situation imo on another note, personally i dont think gaga exploits her gay fans for financial gain..she's an openly bisexual woman and she's a part of this community. as a queer woman i, too, would love to incorporate my community (lesbian, trans, gay, anyone lgbt+) into my work and use my artistry to lift them up. like u said, she's done a lot for the community so honestly i think that alone counteracts what you perceive as exploitation, along with her being bi, but i can understand ur skepticism when it comes to celebs exploiting lgbt people. it's been done before, it's being done right now, and it'll be done in the future. it's something we're all unfortunately a bit too familiar with (im a bit confused as to what you were trying to say, so sorry if this response doesn't make sense/doesn't apply)

Norman fucking Rockwell - 22 Mariners Apartment Complex - 20 Venice Bitch - 24 Cinnamon Girl - 1 California - 20 The greatest - 8 Bartender - 48

this. honestly i dont like troye sivan so im glad i could barely tell he was there bc he didnt really....do anything i feel like charli only had him on cuz he was in 1999 and the tracks are supposed to be linked (for the lack of a better word) right???

i think why its so bad is the lack of lyrical flow..miley's part imo flowed the best, lanas part was the best overall, and ariana....was there?

logically....yes...but should it? no

if its a video for a song thats not EYL, EOTE, BIL, or emotional machine she can keep it

she really came thru

yall can keep cruel rule...sounds too preachy and cheesy imo...i do appreciate the "million dollar jewel" line tho

uh yeah i think we're the minority in this thread lol i like the final much better. i've seen people say the final doesnt fit the album version...like the demo would fit the album better tho? i have to laugh if this isnt satire this is a Yikes from me both lana & marina have been rly busy. marinas been on tour & working on projectS and lanas on an album campaign..it would be shady if lana gave a shoutout to someone (who's not marina) around the time l+f came out, and marina (to any1 but lana) around the time nfr came out. but neither of them have done that.. so i think its safe to say theyre not ignoring each other.. theyre just probably busy. plus both of them are pretty private people, remember when marina didnt have thank you's on froot? its cuz she said she already thanked all the people she needed to in person. yall are reading into this too much i think. it's almost like u guys want them to fight

yeah maybe im being too optimistic, but my initial thought was "is she dropping something tomorrow? or announcing that shes dropping smth tomorrow?" i dont rly expect too much from marina tho..we're already getting the acoustic ep, so i dont wanna get my hopes up (at least rn, she did imply she has more stuff to release b4 the end of the yr)

how i decide "favorite album" = if i could only listen to 10 albums the rest of my life they'd be: the family jewels - marina ultraviolence - ldr froot - marina honeymoon - ldr born to die - ldr electra heart - marina be the cowboy - mitski puberty 2 - mitski born this way - gaga teen, age - seventeen honorable mentions:

im 9999% sure that the back cover is fanmade, plus marina alerts is extra and makes stuff like that all the time lol although i am sad EOTE and BIL wont be on the acoustic ep,, can people stop complaining for 2 seconds?? like others have said, if she didn't release an ep yall would call her a liar, and now that she is--just bc it isnt Exactly What You Wanted--you're trashing her. goddamn. yall treat someone u claim to stan so poorly
