That heart on your sleeve is surely not your own.

Now that Britney Spears is free, she’s inevitably going to do something weird and off-putting because she was in a long term traumatic situation with very little control of her life and getting your shit together is hard in the best of times and that does shit to a person and I’m genuinely afraid the public who has been rooting for her for so long is going to turn on her and even start questioning whether or not it’s good for her to be free of the conservatorship and people are gonna need to remember that the answer to that question is unequivocally yes

I’m ready for anything. Black Metal Britney Spears, competitive knitting Britney Spears, cave explorer Britney Spears, full-time mom Britney Spears, anything

Brittany doing everything a la Barbie is perfectly fine

i get y'all’s spirit and I agree that we should support whatever art she makes now that she has the freedom to make what she wants; but i’m pretty sure that’s not the point of the post. perhaps think less “off-beat production that i can consume” and more she is likely going to say something on social media, or in an interview, or a video, that is going to make people uncomfortable. She is going to show symptoms of her trauma and mental illness and people are going to use that as an excuse to demonize her once more. It is incredibly and painfully difficult to resocialize yourself when you have been deeply socially traumatized, and even more so when you have a burning spotlight on you. It’s not “stan this celebrity’s career” it’s “protect mentally ill people from systemic abuse even when their symptoms make you uncomfortable”

wait

The pandemic has seriously fucked up the socializing skills of little kids they dont even say trick or treat anymore they just give you the kubrick stare until you give them candy

This post broke through the shell of crustiness on my medievalist heart and made me go ‘aww’.
