Escapism

oh to host a yard sale and comes walking in and stopping by is none other than miss lana del rey…

me the other day going from star which broke me to remembering it’s a double release and having a moment of bliss only for heaven to devastate me just as much ANYWAY im so excited for this record ( more than i was for laurel hell) it’s been nothing but fantastic so far.

not at all a local.. just a truth teller!

her turning pink champagne into let me love you like a woman…. not really sure what happened there.. but ok…

i think also to consider with peoples reactions when this happened was this was posted around george floyds death (if my memory serves me right a few days before his death) so there was already tension in regards to race at the time which definitely made it worse imo. that and lana continuing to bring in other artists names like fka twigs after the whole thing blew up when her directly naming other female artists that were on the billboard chart at the time that just happened to be mostly WOC is what caused the issue..and not really acknowledging the name aspect and mostly focused on her being called racist (which i don’t blame her for wanting to defend herself either). anyway the whole thing was just goofy and messy. and idk the way people say she only brought up POC artists when ariana is there never fails to make me chuckle cuz.. its so exaggerated and i can’t tell if they just want something to be extra angry about or if they were a little confused on whether or not ariana was a POC cause of her deep love for tanning at the time.

her hair and makeup looks from this era suit her so fucking amazingly and i love her outfit.. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous

*edit coz i was not sober when i wrote my last comment but in short… i fucking love that shark shirt so much it makes me wanna watch jaws as well

they’ve pretty much exploited her since she was 9?? i believe… and the whole thing is just..odd. especially considering her father refused to make any comment on her death which is incredibly weird because… why would you NOT want to confirm that she was in fact NOT dead unless it being unknown/or the possibility of her death would gain traction for them…. and im not going to even going to get into some of the people clout chasing like that one dude who said he knew they got into a vehicle collision… fucking weird and gross

she’s so fucking diverse not only does she sun bathe not only does she moon bathe but she can storm watch too. what a woman. her range is amazing. just tuning in with mother nature and the universe… some artists just can’t relate and lack that connection. that’s why she’s a genius. and as always she looks beautiful doing so. even after a decade of being a stan she never fails to end up astounding me.

im really sick of people who call themselves lana fans but then go in her comment section and insist BTD + it’s unreleased is her best work and that’s the sound/lyrical content she “NEEDS” to do in her work for it to be good again because she’s fallen off since that era and that’s what her fans would want. ive seen a few of these people a lot more recently for some reason and they all have the same essence of entitlement and fixation that their taste is what everyone needs.. especially lana like just say you’re a fan of the born to die era and move on girl

her look was AMAZING (very reminiscent of the paradise and endless summer tour which were her best tour looks and i will stand on my last limb arguing for that) as were her vocals… incredible, beautiful, genius, talented, and amazing woman as we all know. and seeing those pics of her with the heart shaped sunglasses made me melt i hope everyone had a wonderful and great time and got back safely me venting cuz I need to let it out

i still love the way she sings “feeding off misogyny but still you call yourself a feminstaa” in copy cat so much for no reason…that part lives rent free in my head and pops into my brain randomly

no because I’ve always wondered this too also like??? for pissing especially assuming that people would try to keep themselves hydrated waiting for all those hours in the heat (though today is actually chilly here in illinois) someone explain!!! even though it very depressingly wont be today that i go to her festival id like to know what to do for future reference

(me right now because im in the suburbs and a train ride away) she looks absolutely stunning as usual .. but it always baffles me that people can just find her walking down the street or in some random shop

I was thinking of how she sometimes covers songs specifically for the city or state she’s in (like florida kilos or i love paris) but she should cover this banger tomorrow or whenever she visits for a proper tour

she’s so fucking beautiful i really hope she enjoys the city even though it’s really rainy around here today

it’s gonna be the album cover font for LDR10 (im bored so im making things up in my head)

black lagoon is definitely one of those anime’s where the dub is better. especially given how multicultural it is, so it feels more authentic for the characters in that aspect. some of my fav scenes that live rent free in my head for example that just don’t hit the same as the sub skdksks:

im so sad i can’t go :/ this was going to be my first lana performance after trying to see her for years i hope everyone who does go has a wonderful and safe time and enjoys chicago but plz someone record or live stream since it seems lolla isn’t going to do it

well in my case from 2012 when i found marina and then got into lana through her part of it certainly was the fact that they each had their own unique sound from other artists at the time.. in contrast i guess lanas was way more theatrical and baroque while marinas was more synthish and electronic and what have you (along with piano ballads) in sound and this was during lana and marinas heavily and prime old americana inspired eras which is something i also deeply resonated with since my mom was obsessed with that aesthetic and literally had our kitchen made into a 50s diner theme at my childhood home (which is more of a personal thing more than anything skskss). my nana is also similar as well.. so aesthetically i found something that i really connected to and admired. they’re also both immigrants so i think being the first born in the states the american dream and idealization kind of thing was just kind of like…. part of me i think the most important element is how personally connected they are to their own lyrics too. but can also play them up into some sort of extremes or fantasy as well. also i was just incredibly mentally ill without any outlet since like talking about my experiences was always something i felt i had to avoid SKDKDKD but uh. it was really nice to have these artists to finally connect to with who wrote about alcohol/ drug addiction, different forms of abuse, difficult relationships, and parental/family issues and just reflections of themselves and how they’d want to present themselves to others. cause that’s like all i knew at the time. and they somehow made it comforting and i finally has something to connect to at that age since i couldn’t really get that with anyone else LOL also lana and marina are both Leo moons… as am i… our moons are in Leo indeed… so i think it was just destined to be from the moment the stars formed. born to be a lana del rey fan. you know what i havent listened to buy the stars in a hot minute… so that’s what im going to do now

no im not kylie no! and shes right. thats not lana. yet another instance of lanas truth and experience being written into her songs. thats how you make genius and deep music.

this is so devastating. he seemed so genuine and down to earth and was an incredible actor i hope he’s resting easy

honestly i feel like speculation isnt that bad so long as we respect that it’s only speculation based off songs and things she’s said and what have you. (there’s a couple threads here that speculate on different aspects of Lana’s life for example). is it really any of our business at the end of the day? not really. no. but i don’t think it’s that bad. and brings some interesting thought into how she creates her music through personal experience and/or fantasy. however whats really bothersome is people convincing themselves and presenting it as fact (and then spreading that to other people who also believe it ). similar to how people who are like “AKA WAS A VERY VERY VERY DARK TIME FOR LANA WHERE SHE HAD AN E.D, ADDICTION AND WAS IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS!!! SHE HATES THE ALBUM AND FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH YOU LISTENING TO IT!!!”
