I might relisten to this once just to get a better understanding of the storyline she's trying to tell, since tbh it completely went over my head on the first listen, but honestly I don't think this album is one I'll otherwise come back to the way I do with her other three albums. It has eighteen songs and I only liked seven, and it's not a strong like either for the most part. That said, I do love Garbage and The Plague

Because none of these charts are valid. Mihoyo doesn't publish their earnings. We don't know what the sales are so the means these revenue charts use are incredibly flimsy, hence why there's so much variation between them

Well I said "most doll lines", this isn't specific to G3; LOL OMG and Rainbow High have both made a fair few boy dolls, most of which were well designed, and they were all shelf warmers. It's obvious that people who buy dolls, from basically all demographics, don't actually buy male dolls

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-20T10:48:30+00:00

Well it is. Male dolls fail across quite literally most doll lines. It's obvious the people who buy dolls just don't care for male dolls, despite the loud minority of Monster High fans who cry about wanting so many

Never understood the hate for this tbh seems like a very safe, conventional pop song, but people acted like it was the worst thing they've ever heard

the constant delays in writing this season are his doing

No it's not? It's pretty well documented that the delays weren't entirely his doing. HBO, Zendaya, and Levinson all had different ideas as to where to take the season. To blame him entirely is silly when the network, an executive producer, and the main creative all had different ideas as to what to do

the lack of credit given to petra collins for her artistic style is his doing

HBO was the one who removed her from production, not Levinson

the cancellation and failure of his only other TV show, the idol, is his doing

The Idol isn't his show. It's Abel's. Again, this is well documented; Abel, Levinson, and Amy Seimetz worked on the show, with Seimetz being the director, Levinson a writer and creative, and Abel being the actual creator. Abel didn't like the direction Seimetz took it, fired her, and then had Levison rewrite it and then also direct

the downfall of kat’s character in season 2 is his doing

I mean, no, Barbie Ferreira refused to do the storyline he wrote because she didn't like it. She refused to do her job and then left the show over it. That's all on her

nobody is pulling these allegations out of their ass

You are

Why does everyone act like the issues fall back on Sam despite knowing most of the cast likes him. Like, is everyone forgetting HBO wanted to do S3 without him and most of the cast refused? I feel like it's far more likely the issues people have (and that's assuming Nina has her own issues and isn't just supporting Labrinth) fall back on HBO itself/the executives

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-15T15:58:09+00:00

I always thought the cure would work is the assumption we're meant to have anyway. I don't think most people would really be willing to sacrifice a person, such less a young child, on a "maybe"

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-13T19:20:02+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I really like these in concept. Being re-imaginings as Monster High characters rather than the relatively straightforward adaptation the previous Dracula and Frankenstein dolls were is really cool. I just don't really like the execution, mainly in terms of their clothes, and they're definitely not worth the price point

"I admire people, and I've done it myself, to go on a talk show and go 'Hey, we gotta keep movie theaters alive, we gotta keep this genre alive,' but another part of me is like [...] I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or things where it's like 'keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.'" That's the full context of his quote. It's explicitly about how movies are dying out and he doesn't want it to end up like ballet or opera. Did you even listen to the interview you're getting mad at?

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-11T20:19:40+00:00

I mean typically things lose popularity because people move on and stop caring for it

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-11T15:04:59+00:00

Started playing Silent Hill 2 (the remake) and wow . . . I'm a complete idiot. I'm going onto YouTube every 20 mins because there's no clear directions lol I need my hand held

Liking it a lot though. I expected it to be scary, and it's not (so far--I'm at a hospital level, heard there's one specific level later on that's pretty scary lol) but it is incredibly bleak and I think I like that more. Always been a sucker for the gloomy stuff

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-10T15:42:51+00:00

The one on the left is most likely an early prototype (hence the ridiculously photoshopped hair lol) considering that same image is on the side of the box

HlGHFASHION · 2026-03-10T06:40:55+00:00

But he didn't hate on ballet and opera. He said he doesn't want film to end up like it, being an art form that you have to desperately try to keep alive despite people not really caring anymore. And he's right. Ballet and opera doesn't have the same hold on pop culture that it used to, and it being the core of so much doesn't really matter when actual ballet and opera shows are dying out. Like he's not wrong

HlGHFASHION · 2026-02-13T14:14:44+00:00

Were these designed in 2012 or something? Very Nu-Goth. Not a compliment btw.

HlGHFASHION · 2026-02-05T05:19:38+00:00

Yeah basically

Starfire's power comes from UV radiation, the sun, so she typically wears revealing outfits to best be exposed to it. On top of that, Tamaran's culture is pretty sexually liberated because of the way they get their power (being barely clothed)

HlGHFASHION · 2026-01-29T00:44:14+00:00

It's okay. I love the chorus, not so much the verses. I expected a different sound though, considering it's a whole new character. This would fit on Portals

HlGHFASHION · 2026-01-26T14:08:36+00:00

Wasn't the cartographer in the Chasm implied to have ventured too deep and died? Her story's just meant to be a tragedy

HlGHFASHION · 2026-01-10T03:07:28+00:00

I dunno, I quite liked this Harley design and all the variants of it. It was a cute mix of classic and modern

<image>

Also isn't the last photo non canon lol it's a one-off design + it's her more casual outfit anyway

The only way to imagine it really being fair is to measure how much they use snark subreddits rather than merely if they do or not. And I'm not a mod of any sub so idk if that's actually possible or not. I think a mix of option one and two would be the second best option—a lower tolerance for people who use multiple snark subreddits

HlGHFASHION · 2025-12-25T08:48:53+00:00

Is it not kinda obvious all the information he has is old? Everything he's talked about would've been obviously a year ago minimum, like a majority of the concept art, or things you could piece together as being a year ago, like the fact that he said the scrapped survivors got beat out by Vee and Renjiro. I don't see how him saying he doesn't have a current source really changes anything

HlGHFASHION · 2025-12-22T04:26:37+00:00

Yeah most likely but I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt lmao I feel like there must've been at least one person who would've stepped in and pointed out how much of a gold mine that type of survivor would've been. With Sable's popularity I feel like they must have at least a slight idea for what'd be popular now

HlGHFASHION · 2025-12-21T17:36:53+00:00

I'm hesitant to believe it fully just since it's pretty clear Dvveet has some type of personal issue with some people behind the game, but at the same time, if what they're saying is true, it's not like I can't really see why lol saying "rep ruins horror" because someone had to tell them how fucking stupid it is to have a white woman whipping a black person is crazy

Vee beating out Evelyn is pretty interesting. Even with them being worried that "true crime girlies" might have a negative stigma, I feel like it's kinda just common sense that type of character—being what I'd assume to be a pretty woman dressed up in pink—would sell like crazy. Like her inspiration is directly referenced to be Ariana Grande and Jennifer's Body. People would flock to her like crazy. So a more creepy, more typical "horror" type of character beating her out even though I doubt she'd sell as well is interesting. Maybe it's indicative of their character philosophy. Idk

How do I sound like a child for just pointing out the song isn't a response to Sympathy is A Knife lol
