i know and i agree! but you did infer that she was focused on that rather than “storytelling” and i feel like that just isn’t true. her storytelling is just more metaphorical and emotional. it still communicates real things that happened a lot of the time, and her emotional journey around them.

what does this have to do with anything though? jb is still telling her own story in her own words, even if she’s more metaphorical about it. and she isn’t that way in interviews

she also talks very candidly in many interviews. we know a lot of her story. that’s part of why she elicits this kind of fascination in fans. there are some things she probably wont share, but that’s her right. it’s also insane to claim that lucy’s told us everything. she hasn’t. she’s a known liar. whole chunks of her life are missing from what she’s told us

i think it’s okay though! she doesn’t need that kind of press for this

completely disagree. the planting tomatoes merch is aesthetically cohesive, completely on point, and adorable and summery. the vibe is excellent, accessible, and super lesbian. fiaf was not as successful as her label wanted, i think, and so this is being promoted in a more relaxed way. it’s a more relaxed vibe. it’s also a rock song instead of a glittery pop album.

things she perceives as deep cuts which are actually known by every single fan

she hasn’t taken the opportunity to tell the next part (fiaf) yet, but there’s clearly an album in development. i would argue that middle children and high in the basement are both parts of that story. and lucy’s been a little open for the first time ever in talking about her current partner in interviews so it’s not necessarily a stretch for julien to match that. we’ll see! but she IS telling that story. i would recommend listening to the recovering catholic episode and watching her make it perfect episode for some good insight into her emotional state and journey in 2019 and that time period. she’ll keep telling her story. just give her time.

probably the lack of commercial promotion and the die down from boygenius success
