let's take a breath

i’m glad she stayed silent. you guys all know what happened that very same day, that’s all im going to say. it’s just very weird behavior to hope her album leaks when she’s already been through enough just because she’s not living up to your expectations. when she talks, she gets shit. and when she stays silent, she still gets shit. let her grow from her mistakes and most of all, LET HER FOCUS ON HER MENTAL WELL-BEING. if she wants to write her poetry for the time being, let her do that. some of you guys have such entitlement to even think that she owes you guys something. this isnt directed to anyone but i just had to get this off my chest

yikes

I am very shocked at how disrespectful some comments here sound. It doesn't seem like a Lana fan forum, but rather a place with, of course, several fans but some people who are only interested in their music. It is too funny that you say that she was visibly not looking good in a recent photo (with some idiots saying that she was drugged and etc.) and at the same time absurdly demand a positioning from her and even wishing that the album leak. She is not a music-making machine...
 

Honestly I kinda live with y'all crying about the lack of promo because the last really big era we got was shit on by most of you. During the LFL era the good sis served stunning visuals, lots of magazine covers, iconic interviews, a great tour... she even gave us pop up stores and everything a stan could ask for but still some fans found a lot of things to whine about that era so... seethe lmao
 

girl why are you still here ? genuine question, not to be mean or whatever. cause tbh it feels like you deeply deeply hate her.... everything you say is always criticism, wishing her stuff leaks, manifesting negative things, dragging everything she says or does... why do you still pretend to stan her when you’re that 
unsatisfied with her? 
 
anyways y’all think white dress will come this friday? 

I've been staning Lana since the beginning so I think I know how "difficult" it can be sometimes. She's not like a regular artist in any aspect, that's for sure. I also remember how, back in the day, people didn't like that she got an ig account and was sharing more about her life because "it made her look less mysterious". So yeah... I think over the years many fans liked to think they own Lana, her persona, her vision, her art, her creation. And the truth is... we don't. I know you all hate in when someone says "just take it or leave it" but that's pretty much it. If you don't like what she's doing, if she annoys you, if you think she's not what she used to, if you don't like the way she handles things, nobody is forcing you to stay. You may be a regular fan that doesn't follow her day by day, like many do. Sorry but I hate to read rude comments about her, I personally am here because I absolutely adore her and admire her. And yeah, she messes up, and yes, she lied about the release date, and yes, she hasn't say a word for the last few weeks. Honestly hating on her and wishing the album to leak "cause its what she deserves" just because she doesn't meet your expectations is pretty weird to me. 

More artists than you think will announce a project preemptively and it ends up not coming to fruition. With no apology or explanation either. It comes with the territory of being an artist tied to a record label. 

I don't understand why people think she needs to promote the album. Sure it would be nice, but it's all just a bonus to the actual record. It's coming March 19th, we know that, and it's all we really need to know. If she wants it to be quiet release and let the music speak for itself, that's totally fine and her choice. I would probably want the same thing if I were her after the shit she's dealt with online this past year. You can blame her all you want for some of the controversy, but that doesn't mean she deserves the insane treatment that has come her way.
 

You would also think that in the wake of #FreeBritney, people would be more understanding towards artists in the music industry, and especially women in the entertainment industry...

Some of you need a reality check, nobody owes you anything. Lana doesn't owe us anything. Expectations distort reality. 

Sure, it's perfectly reasonable to be upset about the poor communication. But to manifest & hope for a sabotage of her album release by having it leak? Not so cool. 
& we'll never truly know why the album rollout has been a bit weird with the silences and reschedulings, but we have to keep in mind we're in trying times right now with COVID. Not only can that impact some of the external factors of the release stuff such as vinyl productions, but remember that artists are human beings just like the rest of us and can also be affected by some of the mental hardships COVID has caused, as we all have.
So sure, there's nothing wrong with being frustrated about how this rollout has gone - but that does not mean Lana "deserves" to have her project leaked. No artist ever deserves that for their art and their work, no matter the circumstance x

Regurgitating this over and over again kills the vibe more than the September ordeal or the White Dress delay honestly

Even if some of you guys do think she wronged us by "never apologizing for keeping up with the initial release date" she doesn't deserve a leak of the album right now, she doesn't deserve it ever, period. Can some of you not step back for a minute and think objectively, and perhaps understand we are in the midst of a global pandemic which would obviously be taking a toll on not only her but the industry in itself and all of us? Have you thought about all the criticism she gets for whatever she says and the impact that must have on her? The very criticism some of you guys give of her is downright just awful and "manifesting leaks" is just the same, that is going to put her off a lot of things and make her even more silent. Smh. Y'all just manifesting her to keep silent. 

golly, is this disrespectful. I'll never understand the weird entitlement some fans have that it's an artist's duty to serve them with new music, and if they don't to the fan's satisfaction, then they "deserve" for their project to leak.
 
Just be patient. We're less than two weeks away now. After all the waiting we've already done, we're all able to wait 11 days more for the album to be released without manifesting leaks. A leak-free rollout would be amazing. & that's what Lana really deserves, especially since she's been rather prolific with her releases considering there's other artists who wait several years at a time to release x

You might be part of the problem

every time i look at this topic a small argument has just ended

Mental health is really important and I feel like pushing Lana to do something against her will is the exact opposite of what we should be striving for/what we CLAIM to strive for. She is always going to be successful so we should respect her process. She even said to Music Week in June 2020 that Ben and Ed let her handle things the way she chooses to because they are understanding of the fact that she does what she needs to do to ensure that she is at her best. Artists are human. Just my two cents.
