I get that PORTALS has become her passion project and she wants funding really badly. But that shouldn't mean using her(mostly teenage) fans for money, pushing them cheaply made jewelry(for $700), NFTs, hologram "meet and greets", etc. Next thing you know they'll be paying for a M&G with a her cardboard cutout for $300/ticket, and it'll be "okay" because "she told you that's what it'd be, didn't you read?". Like, just open a GoFundMe. We'd probably all pitch in. Besides, if she'd used more of the leaks for the final tracklist, set aside more promo budget, and put out less but higher quality merch, she'd have made so much more money off initial sales. She's intentionally put herself in a corner and I wonder if it'll be worth it in the end, let alone what she envisioned.. Especially after we've seen her waste opportunities on the music videos to save ideas for the movie almost no one wants. All in all I guess I'm just confused and have no idea how to feel other than being exhausted by the constant controversy chewing on this fandom ever since 2017. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember the whole story, but as @Wildchild said— supposedly during a (digital?) M&G, a fan asked about BOMM and Melanie said it was about her friend's partner who was going through chemotherapy/cancer at the time or something like that.

The Siren 30,521 Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) There's a voice modulation in the Ashnikko song Don't Look at It on her new album that reminds me of one of the fan edits of Puzzles I think I had the fan edit as Past Life?
