It's so hard for me to wrap my mind around this for some reason lol.
And pls ignore the grammatical error in the title, I forgot to change it 😪
DISCLAIMER: This isn’t meant to hate on or discredit the OG dancers of these solos, this is just some fun little “what-ifs.”
Anyways,
#1. Carrie/Jojo - I would’ve loved to see Maddie do this one. I think her dramatic, theatrical style of acting would’ve worked so well in this dance :D I think it could’ve been better than Lizzie Borden even
#2. Fool Me Once/Maddie&Kendall - I wish Chloe got the chance to do her interpretation of this dance, especially since, to me at least, the music and theme just fit her so well, when I think of that song I think of Chloe lol. (Also, I know she was in the music video, and they did a trio!! Still, I would’ve loved to see Chloe do the OG choreo with the OG costume.)
#3. It’s Not My Fault/Savannah - This is such a Maddie solo omg. If you’ve never seen it (bc I know a lot of us, including myself lol, haven’t watched S8), here’s the video. Though it probably would’ve just furthered the brat narrative if Maddie did it… still, a girl can dream 🤷♀️
#4. The Woods/Maddie - Gorgeous gorgeous dance, I’d love to see “prime” Chloe doing this one.
HB: I also think Maddie doing Baby Mine/MHMEAM and Chloe doing Cry/SOTR would’ve been lovely, I think they’d totally kill those solos just as much as the other girl did.
Comments like this ignite a type of rage and despair in me that I didn’t even know was humanly possible lol.
Especially since it’s usually coming from conventionally attractive, non-black girls… Of course it’s easy for you to “free yourself” from beauty standards— you benefit from them and don’t even realize how much they matter!!! It’s like a rich person saying, “Just follow your dreamsss, don’t worry about moneyy!”
Seriously, what would “freeing myself” really accomplish? I won’t be happier, my depression stems from loneliness and isolation, which stem from me being ugly. I’m just supposed to accept being a complete societal outcast and not feel any type of way about it??
“Just enjoy life, don’t worry about how you look!” I CAN’T. I can’t just stop worrying about my looks & how they affect my life.. aside from being either ignored or treated like shit by everyone I encounter, I can literally feel the ugliness on my face. It’s impossible to really enjoy life in this body.
I don't think that HADES "flopped" by any metric, however, I feel like it's definitely her best album by far & one of the best albums released this decade, and to see it perform worse than all of her previous albums and much worse albums by terrible people is disheartening.
I just feel like there's more her label & Cry Babies could be doing to support/promote the album. Obviously, it's a controversial album and she's a controversial artist... but still.
Again, HADES isn't a flop by any means. My main thing is that the tour is really underselling right now, and I'm just scared it's going to get cancelled.. hopefully as prices drop and the tour gets closer, more people want to come!
Exactly a month ago, all of my accounts were wrongfully permanently banned. Obviously, the Reddit admins recognized the mistake and I've been unbanned now, but only on this account. I've tried appealing on all of my other accounts since this one has been unbanned, but I haven't gotten any responses and it's been about a month.
Do I send more appeals, or should I wait a little bit longer? And is there maybe a reason my appeals aren't being seen? I just ask because, when I was initially banned, responses usually came within a few hours, or a day at the longest.
