The Defiant Follower

my heart goes out to his young children and brainwashed wife. I hope they find healing. I hope they get through this with the all the support they need. But Charlie is not a martyr. He’s a fascist piece of shit and he knew this was gonna happen to him one day. Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences. He was threatened multiple times, but he still defended every single thing he said with even more bullshit. In 2023 he said (paraphrasing), gun deaths are going to happen if we want to maintain our second amendment rights.

Well, I hope he’s looking up at us confused as fuck, wondering what went wrong. As someone with trauma experience, but anyone could’ve assumed this , I saw a close-up of that video within 10 minutes of the news being posted and I saw that bullet goes straight into his carotid artery with a midline shot, possibly back to his brain stem, he was dead before they can even render him aid. He showed decorticate posturing right away, indicating this. They kept the masses hopeful, but everybody knows there’s nothing you can do about that. And by the way, a 200 yard shot with a sniper rifle is not by some Rando who was able to purchase a gun legally at the age of 18, that shit was calculated and professional. As a recreational shooter of 20 years, I couldn’t make a shot like that. I’m not gonna speak anymore on that, but I’m sure we’ll be seeing more theories soon..

Everybody have a good day, keep his children in your thoughts because it is a terrible thing to lose your parent. I understand so many terrible people are parents, but these children did not deserve to lose a father. But I’m hopeful that these kids will grow up in a world the exact opposite of the ideology that their father had and that some serious changes will be happening.

I understand he’s working on the new album but his fanbase has members that are going to be affected by this presidency so I’m sure it would mean a lot to hear from him on the subject to those who look up to him?

- I purchased $300 worth of products with a delivery set to before well before Christmas

- didn’t receive products until mid January

- all the buyers got was “sorry about the delay”, a coupon or a refund of the delivery price would have been nice

- when I did finally get to try the makeup I bought, the eyeliner was flaky and dry, the shadows were cheaply formulated. The shimmer was only in the surface for those colors, once you brushed it off, it was over. Some of the colors were not eye-safe. The formula is also very drying.

- the packaging is very bad. The shadow pallet for MIW especially. It Magnetic and doesn’t stay put when traveling and got all over my makeup case.

- for the price I paid, I expected Jeffree Star quality (for comparisons as I have a lot of JS stuff) and it’s far form it

-they preyed on MIW and BVB fans for months only to deliver something with a lesser quality than drug store Makeup

While I DO think they’re trying to be a standout brand in the industry of alt makeup, I DO think they missed the mark and have gotten way too many people who are NOT MUAs or have a clue how makeup should be produced and sold to convince a large group of (mainly impressionable teenagers) people to buy their products so they mass produce low quality stuff and market to fandoms.

I’m honestly not going to lie, but a lot of their clothing designs at Curst look like Blackcraft Cult knockoffs, but with Curst’s name slapped on it. It’s like they told the artist “Make it look like it came from Blackcraft, also not”.

It’s also interesting that they didn’t source an artist for the design on this cup. So it makes me wonder if they inputted “Halloween stain glass design” in an AI engine.

Also, despite being sold out, Megan Meli still has her mugs available (CHEAPER) on her shop. Her shop is closed for the holidays, but is set to reopen later this month.

I wouldn’t compare the Curst blog to actual journalism because that’s not what it is 😂 That being said, if you’re going to publish any sort of writing it should, at the very least, be coherent. That’s something that’s always bothered me about Lex’s writing. Whether it’s on the blog, or even her own Instagram/TikTok posts, it’s never grammatically correct, or it doesn’t make any sense. But I think part of that comes down to effort. It’s half-assed writing because she doesn’t know how to not half-ass a project, regardless of what it is. She could easily work on her writing, and not rely on ChatGPT but she doesn’t feel the need to. At the end of the day, it’s a paycheck and not a skill she feels the need to perfect.

Curst reminds me of a TikTok video I saw of a girl talking about a pallet they had JUST bought (brand new) from a makeup company’s TikTok shop, and they said that the trays were already falling out of the pallet, cause the glue they used was cheap.

One of the comments on the video, said that they bought stuff from Wet N’ Wild years ago, and despite it being cheap, none of the trays have fallen out yet.

At this point, companies (like Curst) want to make low quality shit just so they can make money.

Hell, I’ve seen $5 Russell Stovers chocolate boxes better put together than the Motionless in White pallet. Especially since the “lid” is only magnetic and not hinged.
