so funny how get free and for free are two closing tracks that are spelt so similarily 

This has probably all been said before but i was randomly rewatching the candy necklace music video and in the final scene it all clicked into place for me, that the point of the video Is the irony of not getting the thing you want most and have worked so hard for during life and only receiving it after death. The women from which Lana takes inspiration from for the video desperately wanted something during life (validation/fame/acclaim) but only received it after their tragic untimely deaths. 
The Black Dahlia was a budding actress who wanted to be a star and in a cruel twist only received fame after her violent murder, while Marilyn Monroe wanted to elevate her image, to be taken more seriously as an actress and now after death is revered as a Hollywood legend. Its about the irony of not getting the thing you want during life but receiving such recognition posthumously. Towards the end of the video it all builds up to this moment where there’s a bloody body in a trunk in the back of the car (presumably Lana’s), before it cuts to a shot of Lana getting her star on the Hollywood walk of fame while people cheer. I never understood this last shot and how it relates to the rest of the video but I think this ties in to the many times Lana has said over her career that she wants to be appreciated and respected first and foremost as a songwriter, and to find a community of like minded musicians. She felt harshly and unfairly criticised by critics and rejected by the music industry at large in the aftermath of her debut and SNL performance. The toxicity and scrutiny of the debate around Lana Del Rey and her image/persona has lasted for over a decade, impacted the way people perceived the music and clearly took a toll on her mental health. She has also made comments (although I cant find them now) about how she felt rejected by New York and that she would only be appreciated there after her death. This makes me think that the ultimate point of the video is a commentary on how Lana believes that after her death she will be appreciated by the public and her work to finally be recognised how she wanted it to be received. I also think the necklaces in the video represent metaphorical shackles on the confinements of fame or the box in which she was placed by the media/music industry over the years, as well as the mental burden that goes along with the controversy/discourse which unfolded around her - all of which she is finally freed from upon death.
 

ben managing her account would be the worst nightmare... like imagine just seeing posts about her achievements with rocket emojis on her official acc id kill myself
 
 
i lowkey want her to write us emails via newsletters like lorde did  that'd be cute

i feel like lana might be overwhelmed with commercialisation of her honeymoon account just as she was with her official account, she probably doesn’t feel comfortable anymore sharing pictures and some moments of her life so she would only focus on promoting stuff (i mean, she literally said she’s deactivating her account now after her father’s album has been released) since this account has been literally mentioned in stuff like public magazines, and remember it started as niche fan account where she came back to stay in touch with fans a little, but maybe she didn’t expect that people would find it anyway and send her a lot of requests + reshare pictures of the stuff she posts everywhere. i think it’s reasonable for her to remove that account even though it’s really sad, i honestly just wish she wouldn’t keep it open it so often because that maybe would change the problem 

it wasn't her idea, the cocktail of things that twist neurons inside, but without them @honeymoon dies 

even if her team posts on oceanblvd, honeymoon will always be that girl

I'm crying laughing at people re-tweeting around a petiton for her to come back omg

There are so many things wrong with this post I’m obsessed 

when @honeymoon reactivates as a wedding planning business 

i moved...

i love moments like these is like a big lanaboards family gathering where we all come together to troll and be annoying 

listening to swan song

Lana really said “don’t let your happiness depend on me, happiness is a butterfly” and left

I would really enjoy that and even though i doubt she's artistically in "that" place anymore, it'd be a good compromise to make so she can get started in her indie journey. Ppl would buy the heck out of this project; she could even hire a fan to do the artwork just like for froot era

Uploading the music video for HIADTFAWLMTH on UhaulJoe's YT channel 

The Instagram videos filmed off her cracked-ass phone screen of her screaming at a spider 

Oh, another one that makes me giggle out of confusion is when she dyed her hair jet black near the end of 2015 and then 5 months later began the process of going from jet black to blonde… then after 4 months of going through the lightening process while having 50 shades of red in the meantime, finally reaching blonde, she dyed it back to her classic chocolate brown after having the blonde for less than a month skkkk. Sis had 8 hair colours in under a year. I remember someone asked her about it at the LFL pop-up and she was just like “it didn’t work out! It kept being blorange!” x
 

 
Also on the topic of hair, when she got highlights at a random hair salon in Oklahoma in July 2020 after going blonde in May via lemon juice before eventually going back to brown in November x

Nobody mentioned the mesh mask
