I watched The Riot Club the other day, and while I think the best word to describe it would be "anticlimactic", Sam Reid's in it and it gave me the perfect opportunity to make a very self-indulgent gif dump. Hope you enjoy!

When Lorde said, "Growing up a little at a time and then, all at once. Everybody wants the best for you but you've gotta want it for yourself, my love" I felt it in my bones

i HATE how tiktok is reducing ethel cain and preachers daughter to cannibalism. preachers daughter dissects real issues of religious trauma, inter generational trauma, abandonment, etc etc - cannibalism is not the main aspect of the album, nor is it that of ethel’s story.

stop clinging on to cannibalism as a metaphor for love when there are so many other aspects of hayden’s lyricism and art that are so much more complex and profound.
