Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Terrence Loves Me 72,692]

me trying to think of something new to say in this thread that hasn't already been said 1500 times

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

it’s just annoying to see people constantly calling her lazy and saying how unhappy they are with her behavior and this era. like i’m tired... like i said in my post yesterday, this should be an enjoyable space and it’s really not anymore because all anyone is doing is complaining or fighting or just generally saying something negative. so like literally why don’t we just make another thread if y’all wanna continue to fight over whether or not lana owes us her art or not or complain about the wait and silence or whatever. cuz i’m so goddamn tired of seeing it in here

with all do respect, this is a lana discussion forum tho and.... I think it's kind of inevitable given there's pretty much nothing to talk about but her behaviour. given this particular era it's just not gonna happen and i don't think it's even that everyone is necessarily that invested, more that there's clear friendships on here, there's no news and nothing to talk about, so people come here and express their disappointment over that continually

 

when i log out of this forum, i'm certainly not thinking about lana or NFR. do i mention my opinions to join in when i have free time cos i like people on here and it can be really funny? absolutely

 

a lot of this thread is jokey as hell so i don't really get where some people are coming from

It’s confirmed @@recklessdaughter is a dumb bih! I wouldn’t even be surprised if they were Lana with how defensive they’ve gotten. Anyways, let this be the last time anyone has to mention this, but the reason we’re bugging out is because Lana can’t keep her lips shut when she needs too & can’t open them when she should. Last September she released MAC & VB & said the album was coming at the top of the year! She also has teased countless snippets from the album. Everyone was pretty fine if you noticed! Although when Hope came & went it was clear she lied to us again! On top of this, she made no move to clear this up! We all expected it to come at least by the end of March! On a livestream in December she said the album was done & mastered! Yet, there was basically no news until Doin Time came out! Mind you, she was adamant on the poetry book, but even then we didn’t have much of anything, but hypotheses we could create around the information we got from her! Then we found out she added 2 new songs to the album! If these songs were the ones she played at the cotillion event then it still makes no sense as to why it took so long. They were already done! Hopefully, it’s 2 whole new songs, because the meltdowns that would come Anyways, you can’t expect the fans to be happy when she lied about the release date & glided us with info in the beginning then went radio silent. You get accustomed to situations based on your previous experience. So the lying, well it was no surprise. If she had all this time meant the top of the year being August/September she should’ve clarified that from the beginning, because almost none of us think like that. For the past few months even her general fans have been begging for the album or album news. On top of that, she chose to continually say nothing about the status of the album. The biggest news we gotten was the concert one about the release date! Then she even changed that from “2 months” to a “few months”. I mean, we’re happy we know it’s coming, but frankly her idea of instagram promo is horse shit. I’m happy she has so much control, but sometimes the label needs to give her that outline for the album release. From a business standpoint, it’s literally fucking ridiculous. The smart thing would’ve been to give some news about why it’s taking forever, but has she? No, she’s been quite mute about all of this. Comparing this situation is like having a lover, & they say you can expect a trip in 2 months! They say to get time off & be ready to pack for a summer trip. So, you get time off & buy summer clothes & pack. When the week you’re meant to go comes, you find out you’re not even going. When you try to get answers, they avoid it & avoid every attempt to rectify & clear up the situation. You’re like wtf! Say, you don’t have as much money & you had to go into your budget to buy summer clothes & it was a risk getting time off! It’s just like a slap to the face! A year passes by with a couple of arguments! Suddenly, you’re going on vacation this summer, & some clothes don’t fit! Instead of going in June or July, it’s in August! Yet, you love him so you still go. While not as intense, she’s been leading us on with literal bread crumbs for a whole year. What we need at the end of the day is clarity & we have a right to be mad or annoyed at her. We understand she wants to have fun & that she isnt a music machine! We’re fine with that, but at least have the balls to be clear that the expectations you gave us aren’t going to happen. If not, you’re asking for what these past few months have been.

right?

 

this thread has just gone way beyond NFR. this thread is totally a socialising and being a bit stupid thread, if i genuinely felt people were almost killing themselves over the lack of release i don't think i'd laugh as much as i do. in fact i wouldn't have signed up

people are enjoying some of the drama here, opinions over lana's unprofessionalism aside 

[BeautifulAnywhere 5,417]

Anyways, holy shit sorry bout the length. So, I’m poised for a September release! Y’all think we’re ever getting the HIAB video?

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Some of ya'll's cradles were rocked too close to the wall and it SHOWS. 

[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

Okay i’m just going to say this once and then never again bc I’m actually bored to tears of this argument. But most of us work 9-5 jobs, some of us white collar, some of us might even have menial jobs. Idk maybe there’s like 1 or 2 ppl on here who make $300k+ a year (if u do though wtf are you doing on here) I mean not to make assumptions about anybody but yea I think its safe to assume none of us are millionaire popstars. If i am late to my job, if I take vacation just bc, if I DONT DO my job, miss deadlines, tease my customers about how my work is “coming soon” then never actually give it to them, and treat my profession overall as if its some kind of joke?? Yeah, I’m going to get fired in like two seconds flat bc I would be a business liability and it is allaround just rude and privileged af to take my source of income for granted. Now im not saying Im mad we dont have the album, im not saying Lana owes us anything. Im GENUINELY not. I dont think thats what this thread is or should be about (complaining about Lana’s work ethic) but just by GENERAL HUMAN LOGIC in what world does it make sense to make special exceptions and excuses for Lana who, at the end of the day is just a normal person who has a job just like all of us. You who say “Lana doesnt owe us anything” and defend her are actually the ones feeding into an UNHEALTHY and BS double standard stan culture that I refuse to be a part of. Ms Del rey must be held accountable for her actions, same as everyone else. And thats that on that

I barely ever dream about Lana but last night she was in my dream and i actually remember most of it.

 

She was at a celebrities mansion (I think it was Nicki Minaj? don’t ask, i wasn’t making the rules) and i remember a bunch of people were there and I went over to Lana and was like “hey.... we really are wondering about NFR...” and she kinda pressed her lips close together and said “okay. FINE” and next thing i remember is she was in a beautiful green garden of sorts, by a swimming pool and there was a photographer there, and basically she was getting the cover taken for NFR. I remember her dress was long and it was 2 colors- peach and white.

 

So anyways they were getting ready to take this picture and I swear to you guys, they were right by a pool- and HALSEY, (again, sorry, i was just watching the dream i can’t control it) comes over and does a huge ass cannon ball right into the pool and guess who gets SOAKED? Yep, Miss Del Rey.

 

I remember my jaw dropped and i felt so angry. People were running over to Halsey like “why the fuck did you do that you saw her standing right there” and she acted confused and was like “what’s going on? what’s the big deal?” and someone whispered something about “Lana, new album, etc...”

 

and things get a little fuzzy at this point but then no joke whatsoever, Halsey gets all her photographers and agents or whatever to this huge mansion and throws up this big sign announcing her new album- so she would have it out first, right before Lana planned to.

 

Couldn’t tell you the name but it only had 5 songs on it because obviously she rushed it just to spite sis so technically it could’ve been an EP idk. I remember the cover was like a black background with other space stuff on it in neon colors. That’s all i remember. i woke up MAD

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

edit : y’all i’m tired i’m sorry i’m overreacting cuz i guess this was a venue for me to release some emotions about stuff that i’m stressed about irl and if y’all could just ignore this that’d be great lol

Halsey being a RAT even in some fag's dreams... Imagine how tired we are

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

edit: see above but i’ll still leave this post up cuz it’s a shorter version of what i said in the other one

 

 

ugh sorry again but it won’t let me edit my post so: *also i just wanna say this is kind of a culmination of frustration of negativity and unnecessary meanness that i’ve seen on here for YEARS, of varying subjects, some not even related to lana in the slightest. some people are just genuinely mean to other members and maybe y’all are joking and i’m missing it, but i don’t get why someone would be mean jokingly anyways and i hate seeing it. this is a very long post so i don’t want ppl to take it as a personal attack on their views or anything it’s just about some behavior i’ve seen on here in general that i feel is kind of uncalled for, while also addressing the current fight abt nfr. i guess maybe my response is unnecessary and everyone’s over it but like i said i’m tired so my judgement probably isn’t the best rn. sorry for acting all emotional all over this thread, i’m high key embarrassed
