These jingle ball shows were an opportunity to grow her fan base, you have SZA and Olivia Rodrigo fans in there and most of them are not going to want to listen to someone dressed as a creepy pink alien. This isn't the portals tour where the fans are expecting that this is a live streamed festival with A List headliners... I mean her choice it's just not a good one lol

Sometimes I get kind of frustrated with her, she's so annoying when it comes to leaks, I get that it hurts that her stuff leaked but why is she acting as if her fans leaked her stuff and refuses to talk about it.. like fine I get it with Portals leaks but can she finally acknowledge some popular leaks from Crybaby era at least? I get that /some/ of them are personal but c'mon when saying you don't want others to hear certain songs 'cause they're personal you mean WHAT? did her aunt's sister's father's brother's mother give birth while Strawberry Fields was playing and that's why it's so personal 
 
It was kinda petty that she rewrote some songs with the same title and left some of her best as unused songs, it's probably why the era itself feels dead upon arrival. She should stop putting sfx in the tracks too, you're selling an album not a soundtrack Nurse's Office is such a good song and she has to make us listen to the movie sfx and for what. People loved Cry Baby because it was HER, it was unique but it was also an easy listen.. if she'd have released it today all the songs would have the clutter from the MVs in the streaming version audio I can just tell  like the Mrs. Potato Head intro 
 
Given her latest fan interactions at this point I feel like there's a grudge, idk how else to explain all this, wish she'd realize fans are on her side and the only reason leaks get so popular is because her own creative ambitions hold her back from releasing music and therefore there's a content starvation on the fans' end... a single here and there wouldn't hurt. I wonder if we'll get a proper roll out from her one day. 
 
Also revisited K-12 and it could've been way bigger if it came out sooner, kinda loving it way more than Portals (sorry) although Portals is still nice. Just feeling like I enjoy K-12 (except Wheels on the bus) way more as an album than Portals which has a bunch of interludes and stuff tackled onto the songs.. though Portals' highs are reaaaaaally good

I really really REALLY need a Keenan 2015/16 K-12 leak

Here’s the tracklist I made for Portals 1.0
 
01 VOID (2021 Leak)
02 MOTHER OF PEARL
03 INCONSISTENT FLAME
04 SYNCHRONICITIES
05 LABYRINTH
06 TUNNEL VISION (2021 Leak)
07 FAERIE SOIRÉE (Demo)
08 DRAGON’S BLOOD
09 MOON CYCLE (Demo)
10 EMERALD
11 GARDEN
12 LEECHES (Demo)
13 MILK OF THE SIREN (Last Demo that leaked 2021)
14 DEATH (2021 Leak)
15 NEEDLE & THREAD
16 FINGERS CROSSED
 
I Didn’t include a lot of the short demos and songs that sounded too rough to put on it.

lemme edit for SNUBBING her best unreleased song, Needle & Thread.

omg wait i thought i put N&T in it lkfzsdjK SGFAWESDBg bv 

Here's my ideas for the singles and the dates I think they could've been released:
 
1. Nurse's Office - June 24th, 2019 (a week after the TV spot w the snippet)
 
2. High School Sweethearts (w Strawberry Shortcake as the B-Side, similar to how Play Date was the B-Side to Fire Drill) - July 23, 2019 (the day the vinyl single was released)
 
3. Show & Tell - October 3, 2019

I'd replace light shower with needle & thread (I'd put it towards the end tho)

I've seen too many immediate complaints for it all to be a coincidence, so where's the "luxury quality" Melanie was going on about when fans were criticizing the design and price tag for the perfumes? "It takes a lot of time and money to make high quality, meaningful products/art for you guys!" she says, as she feeds us an era full of the lowest quality shit she's ever put her name behind.
 
She keeps trying to make every bad decision sound like high art that we're just too stupid to understand, too. Even the bottle that came out looking like one of these, with toy potions inside(and they don't even look like real metal, but spray painted plastic).
So yeah.. it's gotten old. This whole era in general has been such a letdown compared to what she's truly capable of creating.

promotion with fun clips or visuals/teasing on social media. Follow yourself 100%, you are the master of the art. Maybe start small with an EP and see where it builds from there, or be ambitious and start with an album. Visuals certainly help art get promoted in the world, but it's entirely up to you on what you want with your art. Deluxe 100%>>>, unless there's a story specific album/ep and it doesn't feel right to extend it. Best of luck, whatever you put your time and mind to, you will absolutely receive.

AS for the rollout:
* promoing first is always better:
visuals, posts, teases, etc.
* singles of the best/your favorite songs is ideal as well.
* lyrics videos also help definitely.
There really is no one-size-fits-all rollout, go with the flow, and even if it isn't received well, absolutely keep at whatever you want to achieve, and although I hate how much time Melanie takes between releases, she's absolutely right about TAKING YOUR TIME!!!
 

so is something gonna finally leak or??? There's literally so much that can be shared, get to it

portals (release 2021/2022)
death void tunnel vision faerie soiree light shower dragon's blood garden leeches fingers crossed magnets sirens pluto womb

What would be the ideal album rollout? (not just Melanie, it could be any artist)
I'm always posting on this thread so that's why I'm posting this here. Also I want to make an album within the next year or the next few years. I don't know if I'll use my real name or if I'll come up with a name. Would y'all prefer an EP or an Album? Would y'all prefer music videos, lyric videos, or visualizers? Also how do y'all feel about deluxe editions?

Can she change her Youtube thumbnails back for the love of GOD

I really want the PORTALS film at some point. I understand the concept but what's the storyline? 

The Portals perfume release is... interesting to say the least. When we started being told a perfume was coming, I was hoping to see something similar to the Crybaby perfume that, while a bit niche, is over all an appealing blend with a simple package you can tuck into a drawer if you don't want to display it. I know smaller and more affordable bottles are meant to be coming out next spring, but it just leads me to think this release was being pushed out before it was ready and rushed to completion.

Another thing I've started to see now that people are receiving their packages is that even if they are over all happy with the product in terms of the packaging, they're disappointed with the fragrances themselves. u/blue_cookie_cutter on reddit said the fragrances only lasted for around ten minutes on their skin, and had a plasticy overtone after drying down that they compared to a c*ndom. I do hope that this is just a case of an individual receiving a poor product, possibly from winter temperatures during transit, but if this does turn out to be a consistent issue it's disappointing that this is another instance of low-quality merchandise being pushed by Melanie that probably won't be spoken on.

It looks so cheap and ugly?? For $200+.. I do not understand anything about this fucking era at all anymore

Omfg--

I don't know what's in those mushrooms she's been taking, but no. Just.. holy fuck, no.

I'd also add Nurse's Office and The Principal.

'Tis the season, y'all
(BTW, this Gingerbread Man is my sleep paralysis demon)

Best songs on K-12: Show & Tell, Detention, High School Sweethearts

It’s hard to pick singles from an album with no stand out tracks, they all had the same beat, nothing stood out imo, I like the album though.
