“If D&D won’t fix this fuckery, I will”
- GOT fanfic writers, post episode 4
Holy crap
For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.
Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years.
Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.
This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.
When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.
Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.
I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23.
Sad and grossed out,

Lols, remind me to GoT final eps season 7 😂😂😂😂
shipping incest or pedophilia is not an “unpopular opinion” it is fucking disgusting and fundamentally wrong and anyone who disagrees with this post can just unfollow me right now
Live footage of GoT season 8 throwing away all prior character development:
THIS
Kenny is one of my favorite characters in any video game and I love him to death, but he really shouldn’t have come back for season 2. Kenny sacrificing himself for Ben was such a great way to end his character arc, and his reappearance really ruined it.
If you lived in chains, you’ll die in chains.
Missandei dying while Cersei quipped about ‘Breaker of Chains’ was frankly more disgusting than all the character assasinations that happened this season.
If you had an abusive relationship, you’re bound to return to them in the end - cause abuse or not, true love is true love.
Jaime returning to Cersei makes me physically sick.
If you were unloved and unwanted in the beginning - and you find family and home, you’ll be thrown to the wolves again, and be forever alone.
Jon “We never should have left Winterfell” Snow, Jon who wanted a child named Robb, Jon who sacrificed everything for this dumb fucks over and over, is exiled to solitude to the place where he was slaughtered.
Seriosuly “You were wrong to love her, You were wrong to leave her” just wanted to go home. He wanted a family.
You’re bound to become like your parents.
Dany being kind, and inspirational, built practically like a messiah turns into a moustache twirling, borderline abusive, cartoon character evil, in the span of literally two episodes.
If you’re grieving, it justifies murdering thousands.
Greyworm slaughtering surrendered warriors cause he was grieving Missandei is atrocious. He loved her and what happened to her was so wrong. But Cersei is dead, and GW killed innocents. They made him a war criminal.
Kissing someone while killing them is the only way it could be done; especially if the person doing the killing is a trauma survivor of being stabbed in the heart.
You really dont need any explanation for this.
You’ll always be betrayed.
Yep. That’s the sad reality. It doesnt matter if you are Ned Stark or Daenerys Targaryen or Varys or Jon Snow. You’re pretty much always fucked.
You’re doomed to repeat your mistakes.
Every character in this season.
People will always think the worst of you.
It doesnt matter that Dany literally put everything on the line for her people. It doesnt matter what she’s sacrificed. It doesnt matter what she’s done. She’ll always be the evil tyrant.
It doesn’t matter if you are a great leader, and genuinely kind and gentle who can only see the best in everyone - if you aren’t playing games with people, you’re a dumb fuck.
The show dumbed Jon Snow down significantly. Toward the end, he was nothing more than a 'Yes’ man bending over backward to accommodate every other character.
But until the end, the fool genuinely believed that people could be saved, and that mercy was the way.
He then kills his girlfriend, in the same way he was killed. Cause that makes all the sense in the world.
What an idiot.
It doesnt matter what material and emotional progresses you make. You’ll always return to your default characteristics as you can’t fight nature.
Jaime.
You can only be strong and independent if you walk away from things that matter more to you than anything else in the world.
There’s no reason for Arya who literally just wanted to come home, to go West of Westeros when Bran was just, right there to tell her what was West of Westeros.
You are bound to become like your abusers.
Sansa getting Winterfell is her right. But having her behave like mini Cersei was messed up. Sansa straight up hated Dany before she even met her.
If they’d gotten to know each other better, they might have even gotten along. And even if they had not, we’d have had a more drawn out storyline as to why she hates Dany.
Sansa who always saw the best in people, is not going to disregard the good things Dany has done. She is way too smart for that.
You can lie and twist and scheme and manipulate, and still raise to the top, while doing absolutely nothing to deserve it, trampling all over much more worthy people. And that’s okay. As you can play. And others couldn’t.
Fuck you Bran. And you Tyrion. I love you, I miss you, and this isn’t you.
You can take advantage of people, and after taking everything you can from them, it’s only rational to tell them to fuck the hell off.
This is for all those fuckers who took advantage of Dany’s army, and all those useless shits who weren’t there in either the Winterfell Battle or the Battle of King’s Landing and thought they could exile Jon Snow to a life of eternal solitude.
Now that I’ve gotten all of that out, the most ridiculous thing this season is everyone seems to be using this to claw and tear into each other. I’m not spared from this either. I fly off the handle every time someone insults one of my favorites.
But all the same, Name one character up there that was being true to everything they’d endured. Name one thing up there that isnt an embarrassment to story telling.
The people who screwed them over were the writers. Back a few seasons ago, we used to love these people, we used to adore them, we used to be inspired by them.
These are not the same characters.
Fuck D&D. Fuck bad writing which asks us to be dumbed down to accept this as a rational outcome.
Stop throwing answers at us for questions that haven’t even been built up. Foreshadowing is NOT character development as a wise man once said.
Peace.
yeaahhhh
To finally clearify the whole third ending issue: I found this article where Michel Koch (Co-Director and Writer on Life is Strange) talks about the heavily discussed Hospital Ending.
“It wasn’t a third ending. It was when we were in the writing process, we were hesitating between when you make the choice of sacrificing Chloe to save Arcadia Bay, we were hesitating between really killing Chloe like we did and maybe leaving her in a coma to offer hope that she could still be alive. But ultimately, when we were writing, we thought that it wasn’t a good decision to go this way, because it would reduce the impact of your choice. So if you’re making the choice of sacrificing Chloe, we shouldn’t make a cop-out and we should go all the way to really offer an end.”
David would still be the hero who arrested Nathan. Nathan would still get punishment and hopefully mental help. Jefferson would still get busted by Nathan and go to jail. Rachel would still be found and get her justice. The Prescotts would still lose their reputation and control over the town due to this scandal. Kate would still not try to commit suicide. Victoria, Frank, Pompidou and everybody else in the town would still be alive.
And the most important part: Chloe would still be alive. Chloe and Max would still be together. They would still have a second chance. They could still take over the world like they’ve always dreamed of.
*insert fan art*
I like this outcome even more than the Max sacrifices herself version. It’s way more logical regarding the time-travel/destiny stuff, and just too ironic that Max went through everything for nothing. Because Chloe was never meant to die.
I love her short height.💕💕
SUPER CUTE! 😍😍😍😍
DAD= NO GLASSES
MOM = NO GLASSES
*SEES PICTURE OF KARIN WITH SASUKE AND SEES GLASSES*
