    Since we pretty much know nothing, why don't we discuss ideal vinyl colours for whatever project this might be? Personally I'm over simple, mono-coloured variants, so I propose something like this:

    LoFiKingdomHearts_Vinyl_ProductImages_LP

    This is so beautiful omg

     

    It would be so cute in pink shades also (I know that has pink but mainly pink. I’m high but y’all know what I mean)

    The SNL performance would be a "going full circle" moment for Lana... 11 years after her polarizing performance. I'd be perched.

    In the RS interview she says rn is also the first time she’s felt inspired and enthusiastic about her music in 11 years (or words to that effect). So it really would be coming full circle in multiple ways if that’s the case

    Spoiler

    The third verse in A&W spoke so deeply to me as a survivor and the possible reference in fingertips (debatable but open to interpretation I guess, although I do feel weird saying that about something so personal — then again it’s music she’s decided to share with us so idk?) makes me wonder if this will stop people claiming she glamourizes Lolita & criticising songs like the namesake & PMIAM. (Also references in Disco which idk if anyone has noticed) Because if this IS her autobiographical experience I hope people realise their mistake in claiming she’s glamourizing it 

     

    Y’all… we’ve had nothing from honeymoon or familyheirlooms since the you know what.

    I personally feel from the three songs I've heard that this is her darkest work yet. It's about finally unpacking the things she wasn't ready to face and really putting herself through the emotional wringer. There's a weight to it that I don't think she's explored before. That being said, I think she will balance a lot of emotions throughout the record and the ultimate takeaway will be one of hope, strength, love for yourself and others.

    Spoiler

    I heavily agree especially with the inclusion of things she’s never explicitly referred to before: mainly her family issues and SA

    The way some people put no effort into understanding something is the only problematic/cringe thing I see here :whatever2:

    The lyric to me obviously reads as a tongue-in-cheek mocking of the fact that she's constantly been called a Republican Karen for no reason, while also acknowledging her privilege and that she's doing her best.

     

    Realest thing I’ve read

    i think ur brain damage made u smarter than most fans so you're good. i wish everyone had such nuance listening to music and discussing art... this was the same criticism that she was getting early on in her career with "glamorizing abuse" or making women look bad or whatever. now she is writing about different topics but her fans and haters are doing the same type of attacking because she is not pc enough or w/e, if i were to guess she'd be more upset about her fans misunderstanding her like this (as she complained about for a decade) than a small portion of her fanbase listening to some leaks but we don't see thinkpieces and essays discussing the morality and ethics of that do we

    Oh my gosh I read the first line and thought you were saying I was brain damaged for saying that because I forgot I wrote it in the first place 😭 this is how bad it is hahah

    but thank you so much <3 I 100% agree with you about the nuance thing, I think a lot of people just don’t exercise any (again not specifically meaning LB but just fans in general) and with work as thematically complex as Lana’s discography — and honestly in all art in general — you HAVE to have nuance. Honestly one of the things I love most about Lana is she doesn’t shy away from ‘non PC’ topics. If she was to start doing so I would be disappointed as a listener tbh. Uncomfortable/nuanced topics are what gives her work substance. 
    also you’re so right about the ethics of listening to leaks.. I will unashamedly admit I listened to some but I think it’s very ironic when the same people who have also done so are now getting worked up about the ethics of saying certain things in songs. Stones and glass houses etc

    Ok this might be an unpopular opinion and I’m ready to get flamed but…

     

    The purpose of art isn’t to write or produce things that make people feel comfortable. By writing a lyric that some construe as tone deaf she’s making us think about that statement. eg: Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable


    This isn’t specifically aimed at LB (it’s more prevalent on reddit, twitter, and tt) but a few people have already mentioned about how a lot of fans are listening to this from a “comfortable” position (eg being white, and accordingly having privilege) and speaking for minorities

     

    Idk I really haven’t conveyed my thoughts articulately at all but I think that whilst it’s very easy to argue that the ‘white woman’ lyric is tone deaf, I think it opens up interesting (and, perhaps for people who are more privileged, discomforting) discussion over white saviorisim 


    idk I’m interested to hear everyone’s thoughts. I know this is written badly hahaha I have (legitimate lol) brain damage
