I can't fucking stop listening to this song I hate myself I'm gonna overdose before we even get the HQ it's so, fucking, good

Hi everyone, as I presented myself in the Welcome section, I'm a fine arts student. As part of one of my second year units on fans and amateurs experts, I had to write an essay on fandoms. Being a Lana stan and being fascinated by religion, I decided to do it on how the Lana Del Rey fandom can bring criticism on the relationship between fandom and religion. I immensely enjoyed writing it and I really want to explore it much further. It's called "Kissing God - Lana Del Rey is my religion".    Please keep in mind that: _ I only got B+ for it because I only cite pop culture sources _ I was immensely depressed and suicidal during the whole time I wrote it _ English is not my first language and I'm not a particularly good writer _ I was still a pretty basic Lana stan when I started to write it.   I hope you'll like it Feedback would be much appreciated!   PS this is what my tutor said about it, it adds some insight.

Omfg!!!! Finally managed to fix the html tag after 7 months
 
 
 
Thank you so much, it means the world to me! I became a Lana fan in December and a huge part of it was because I watched interviews and lurked on Lanalysis so it was important to me to pay it kind of an homage. It was kind of frustrating actually to only talk about Lana because this subject unbelievably interests me and it kind of limited the discussion, but it's not every day that you're able to present a totally valid academic paper on the very person you're spend all your nights dreaming about. I appreciate that you agree with the fact that she's one of the most worshipped. God. I really regret not having talked about the fact that she's a woman. Bless you thank you again

Just to be clear I did not, I just went to ask if it was normal that we hadn't it yet and they said it was and we all have to come back pick up on Friday morning from 8am on, as I live near and I'll be s t r e s s e d af I will probably go this soon
 
 
 
To answer both things, no need to ask her because NYC is literally her next stop, I don't remember when but like one or two days after she's doing a signing, and about buying them all we unfortunately could it's strictly one per person
 
Omfg I just woke up and my heart exploded I cannot believe this is real

Omfg that is beyond fascinating, I'm panting thank you so muchhhh, still have to read this thread thoroughly! Your observations will definitely have a huge impact on my thinking. And Lana having studied Metaphysics is def part of what makes her stand out in a stellar way in my eyes. I wish I could sit with her for an hour and discuss it with her ugh. I really super wonder what she would think of all of this, especially being the person concerned. I always forget that idols can be fans too, too. 
 
Thank you to everyone who have read the essay, I'm just so happy to be able to discuss it.

Oh God, I didn't even thought about her being a woman, you make an excellent point I'm pissed haha. This is so relevant. I'm obsessed by Chuck's photographies, it's a big part of why I wanted to do my essay specifically on Lana. In this particular photo, I think that two important things is that first she shared it herself, she specifically chose this one, and secondly she's turning her back to her fans, and facing therefore the stage. I could rant forever on this, don't even get me started ugh. In this photo too, unlike the others, there is a physical contact. I should have talked more about how she actually goes into the pit and collect stuff and all. I mean it's not that uncommon but she talks about it a lot and I also remember this Kroq interview from 2012 if I recall well where the dude asks her why people cry upon meeting her... Arghhhggh so much more stuff! Anyway the more I look into this photo and the more peculiar and masterful it appears to me, the composition is so good and it seems that there is so much more to it. Chuck (if I'm not a fake stan and it's really her who took it) is really freaking talented. 
 
I find the connection you make to these other artist hella interesting, first thing that I notice is that the dudes remain "superior" to their public in the sense that they're not on the same level, they're still on the stage, even though Nick Cave is crouching. I recall some Beyoncé performance too where she touches the hands of fans but stay on the stage. I wonder if Lana actually "showing her proximity", "showing her humanity", by descending into the pit and interacting much more with the fans - to the point of recreating what is usually seen as an act of love, kissing on the mouth - actually makes her more of a divinity in the eyes of fans. I'm repeating myself, I know. I def agree with what you said about Iggy. I also recall the famous "let me fucking do what I'm fucking doing, signing things" vid. It's iconic and hilarious and super Lana precisely because of what we all said, and it precisely makes us (or at least me haha) adore her even more. Her proximity, her humanity. It's a fascinating vicious circle.
 
No thanks to you for being interested in what I wrote, it's really what I enjoyed the most to write ever and it's a real luxury to be able to discuss it about the very concerned people, especially when you're kind enough to provide me with references I wouldn't have thought of myself

Wow thanks for the feedback.
 
Yeah I agree about the theorists. I don't understand why it's academically required, it's frustrating. Just because it's not printed in a book doesn't mean it's less worthy. Besides I'm pretty sure the people he named are a bit far stretched from my subject and in only 3500 words I couldn't expend much. But I also recognize I should have researched more. I found so many things after finishing and submitting it ugh. I want to continue writing on the subject including all I didn't found first.
 
That is extremely interesting. To be honest I wasn't quite sure about what I was writing, and I actually found that using only Lana fandom to confront religion and fandoms was restricting, so again it seemed quite a reach when I wrote this. I'm fascinated by this act though, the act of kissing fans on the mouth, with all the cultural implications it has, and I highly appreciate your Sid Vicious input, thank you! It's part of what makes Lana so peculiar in my eyes; her acts of transgression are so "connected" and relevant to the rest of what she does, like she does what she wants and she means it, it's cheesy bit it's a bit like a """"soft revolution"""",  and I absolutely agree with you saying that it's what makes people question her authenticity. In my eyes she's obviously authentic, even in her lies and fantasies. Because she puts her idea of what is beautiful before everything, like her Grazia quote, "I like the idea that truth shouldn't cross the path of a good lie", something along the lines. I find it very elegant of her to express this kind of unsettling bare-boned authenticity in a way that remains completely accurate to herself. Oh God sorry I'm not sure if that sounds as good as it did in my head. Anyway, I'm really haunted and fascinated by this particular subject so thanks a lot for your input!

  The essay:    

so I'll just ask if I can kiss her

Thank you for reading it it means the entire world to me!!! Sorry I still haven't been able to fix the bloody spoiler tag after months Omg I need to give it to her now... I'm giving her an actual suitcase of stuff asjkdlfjlkd I hope I won't get rejected by the security
 
THANK YOU BAE!!!! Fucked my way up to the top, this is my show! 

Thank you for the advice!!! It's my very first time meeting a celebrity so I'm really all over the place. Oh shit. I'm writing her a letter anyway, she probs won't read but hey. So I'll think I'll ask the vegetarian question because even though it's not really nice for the community, for me it was really life-changing. And it's a bit quirky so I hope I'll be noticed especially with my turquoise hair and overall messy appearance

Omfg bless you, you being happy for me makes me if it was even possible even happier Well about being vegetarian, because I started being vegetarian partly because of her for the kicks, but it ended being an enormous part of how I'm curing my ED so it's really important for me to know if I'm basing it all on a lie or not. It has been confirmed on twitter by her father but I want to hear it from the empress herself. I do have the tshirt, it was a cheap Pepsi Cola tshirt I bought but as I'm a crafty piece of white trash I added "MY PUSSY TASTES LIKE" above the logo, and "I have a bad mind, and I have gold in my veins" on the back because YGLM is my fav song EVER and it's one of my favourite lines. And I wrote as part of my course an essay on the relationship between fandom and religion and based it entirely on her. It was one of my first posts here, actually why I started posting, you can read it here

lol naachoboy you snatched me the thread

 
tbh I'm gonna try but... it's my first and sure as f last time meeting her, we're more than 120, she has 2h, so we're probably not going to have a long time, and there's some personal stuff to ask, but I promise I will try

So who's going? This is the best day of my worthless fucking life, I'm so happy and excited. Plus it's on release day!
 
Personally, I want to ask her if she's vegetarian, I want to ask her to kiss me cuz I'm hella gay, I'm going to wear my very lame "My pussy tastes like pepsi cola"/You're Gonna Love Me tshirt, and I'm extremely wondering if I could give her a copy of my essay....
 
 
FUCK I'M SO HAPPY I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING

I love that you're mentioning it because I don't see it enough, Lana has CLEARLY improved AS FUCK. As much as this album seems much more polished in its production than the raw energy that was UV with of course songs like PWYC, you can very clearly hear how much she's assured in her tones and how freely she seems to pass from one note to another. I'm so extremely glad that she reaffirmed again how much she loves to sing, because this new badass reclaimed Lana's powerful voice is the one I like to hear the most on earth. This albums destroys me. I'm crucified.

I got called out as a 13yo fan on tumblr, "nasty and tacky", because I said that The Blackest Day made me cum and I can't say that about Lana's music can you fucking believe was I right to go berserk on the cunt or no
 
He should come here and see the scat his mouth would be less bleached with holy water afterwards smfh it's 2k15 Lana's album is sexual
