today I learnt that I absolutely ADORE emotional vocals in songs, I do NOT care about perfection. I might like it, sure. BUT IF THE VOCALS ARE EMOTIONAL, INSTANTLY IN MY TOP 10.
I absolutely ADORE the rough vocals of "My body's made of crushed little stars", the distorted voice in the end of "where's my phone?", the loud, heavy, fantastic distortion in "your best american girl" and, OFCOURSE it's not just Mitski, these are just the best examples. For non-mitski examples, laufey's "sabotage" and "snow white" (snow white even contains a voice crack)

okay I think I should do these more often cuz I had fun with this!
This is a VERY long list of pros and cons so the review is below the line!
(along with mentions of sexual things, and uncensored swears)
(and ofcourse, no hate to Melanie Martinez or any fans who like this album. This is just my personal opinion and for entertainment. NOT to hate on anyone. Nobody deserves hate.)
PROS:-
1: I like the aesthetic a lot! Not my favourite but it's not like I don't enjoy some dystopia! I don't see a lot of dystopia nowadays too so that's nice of a change! I really like that aesthetic!
2: garbage. Possession.
3: I like how beautiful her voice sounds in a couple songs!
4: MELANIE I WILL STAY CLOSETED IRL YOU CANNOT CHANGE THAT /silly
5: god, these are beautiful lines.
MIDDLE(because I cannot figure out if this is a pro or a con):-
1: the vatican. Okay I like the meaning of it a lot, I find it interesting. But I don't really like the way it's portrayed? "Worship this pxxxy", yeah I won't stand a day listening to cupcakke. And also the "fall on your knees, get you hot, worship me like the Vatican." just makes me really uncomfortable, ehh....BUT THE SONG?! OML I LOVE HOW IT SOUNDSSSSS
2: I'm sorry how am I meant to take this line seriously...
CONS:-
Boy oh boy there are a lot...sorry Melanie! Sorry Melanie fans!
1: okay I have to say this. I am an ex Melanie fan as I don't like her songs anymore. But one of the main reasons I don't like her anymore is how sexual everything is. It makes me uncomfortable, I don't like it, PLEASE STOP MAKING EVERYTHING SEXUAL. I can understand that it's just an aesthetic, but again, this is my opinion. The way she moves is very uncomfortable to me because of how sexually she does it but that's only me.
2: the repetition...okay I understand when you have made so many songs one meaning will repeat, but like, there is a concerningly HUGE amount of songs/mvs by her that are just "she gets harmed by bad man. She kills bad man/she tortures bad man. She leaves." And at the start it was okay but now it's very repetitive. Like "is this a cult?" (For examples from the album), "the principal", "tag you're it/milk and cookies"(for examples from her other albums), etc.
3: I'm lowkey disappointed for avoidant? I thought it would be more of a happier song but seeing it switch back to the "she gets harmed by bad man, she kills bad man/she tortures bad man. She leaves" cycle
4: chatroom is my least favourite song on this album because of the meaning. Like, Melanie, you're better than this! You're much, much, much, single-flying-muchity-much-much-much better than this. If someone is sending you hate emails, that's sad, I know. That's a bad thing for someone to do. In that situation, I feel like you have a simple do's and don't's. You DO report the person for harassment and block them. You DON'T write and make an almost 7 minutes-long song dissing them.
5: the last track is geniunely disappointing? I like all the lyrics EXCEPT the main part, you know, the actual part where the song title "the last two people on earth" takes place? Because, as I said before, sexual things in songs makes me uncomfortable. I understand that others might not, this is my own opinion after all. But "f me like we're the last two people on earth"?...that feels a bit too extreme and unhinged for an album this deep.
Overall, I like the album itself, but I wouldn't really listen to it willingly and I don't like a couple of the meanings, a couple of the songs and a couple ways how the meanings are shown.
1: nomnomnami's games (I only played night with timber and vaguely remember watching dead end theater. Also my feed is just flooded with it)
2: THE DAMN MAGNUS ARCHIVES I KEEP FORGETTING TO LISTEN TOOO
3: games by the dev of berrywitched and berrywitched itself! (The dev is smilestrawbunny)
4: astronought cuz atom.
5: I NEED TO REPLAY THE HORROR TALE GAMES IN DIFF DIFFICULTIESSSSSS (and also speedrun them cuz why not!)
6: also need to play the latest ice scream 3 update I keep forgetting to
Also a quick night with timber review, I rlly enjoyed it! Hot wolf man! That's it what else do you expect me to say I didn't play the second half.
UPDATE: I played berrywitched and cherrywitched! Rlly cool games! Rlly enjoyed them! I will remove them from my list once I'm done with the other games
I just randomly remembered this but back when I was like 10, I don't know how I got to this point but I said something like I was feeling hurt or something, to my uncle
Either I said that my uncle is hurting me or I said that someone else is hurting me, I can't really remember
But YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID. HE SAID "people will remember you more if you hurt them. If you hurt someone, that someone will grow up knowing you, if you are kind to someone, that someone will grow up forgetting you"
...
...
I am so glad I don't talk to my uncle anymore WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ADVICE EXCUSE ME
at the time I took it as normal but now it's geniunely driving me insane EXCUSE ME WHAAAATTTTTT
The worst part is that I kind of feel that it is right, but the only right part is the "people will remember you if you hurt them" part
But like if you hurt someone, they wouldn't like you but remember you, if you're kind to someone, the would like you and ALSO remember you
So what the hell even was the point of saying that to, I repeat, A TEN YEAR OLDDD
NGL I just found out Abt the tadc situation and...yup I hate being in this fandom, woo!
Huge rant about common sense below!
so for those who don't know, tadc's last episode had it's brazilian dub leaked and people didn't seem to like it and started hating on gooseworx for it.....DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE?
people are also hating on gooseworx for not caring about her episode being leaked, which....to be honest if I had a show and an episode of it got leaked, I might be sad, yeah. But like the fandom is already horrible so I don't think she had much reasons to care about her show being leaked? If she doesn't care, then don't hate her for it, it's literally HER show why do people keep forgetting that it's HER show π
AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE LEAKER HERE??? According to what I've heard, the leaker didn't get any trouble for that. But like, if you have the energy to hate on the LITERAL CREATOR OF THE SHOW you should probably have the energy to report the leaker if you know them?
And two more things I've heard are that, people are hating on her because they didn't like the episode? Wth? Why? People are celebrating its downfall too.....I don't even need to explain how that's wrong.
And lastly, someone said the episode has a song by a black man and it's covered by a white man but according to someone else it's an asian man. I'm asian, not black, so I won't get into that as that's not my buisness, we'll see when the episode comes out!
(lmao I love making longer posts on dramas of shows that my literal well being)

im finally gonna say it for once, woo! Let's hope I don't delete this like 5 miliseconds later!
I'm going to keep this as lighthearted as possible so I feel atleast a tad bit better about this post and don't just feel like I'm saying "woe is me" over and over again and then eventually delete it.
I'm such a goddamn perfectionist and I hate that! I hate that so much! Wow so fantastic! It has gotten so bad to the point where sometimes I have this moment where I hate myself for being imperfect, and for an hour or so I stay looking like a mess, feeling horrible, wow!
I just looked up if biting is a method of SH, and after a while of convincing google to tell me, I learnt that yes, biting yourself IS sh, who knew purposefully giving yourself pain is equivalent to purposefully giving yourself pain?
So yeah, I've been biting my hand as hard as I possibly can go feel better during those imperfection moments so I atleast don't look like a mess and don't feel as horrible. Helps me get the stress out. I know it's not healthy but if it's the only way, I'd gladly do it!
Also side note, I've seen a lot of people think SH comes a bit before su!cide, so I'll just say that I truely, geniunely don't want to kill myself. That literally contradicts why I do SH. I just want to feel better and it sucks when that's not possible.
I'm so going to delete this post after like 1 milisecond aren't I
