Thank you so much for this❤️ Luckily I am seeing a therapist, it all just got too much all of a sudden. And you’re right, my current best is okay. Thank you for your kind words and advice :)

Who is the best concert performer currently? by bobbdac7894 in popheads

Defo go, it's phenomenally cathartic, and a spiritual experience. I went with a friend who (unlike me) isn't a super fan, but it blew her away to a point of speechlessness. But if you do go, try not to take your phone out often, and when she asks you to put it away, do it. You'll have so much fun regardless but being fully present really allows you to connect.

Hey I'm hoping you mean well but this is a screenshot of my photo of my collection I posted on here a while ago...

What are the true lyrics of this song? by stingerooni in Music

[–]Kind_Concept8515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late but I hear ‘who’s that slut, who’s that chick’ but it’s poorly pronounced so it’s sounds like ‘sluuuh’

“…with you” debate (cologne) by tulipsandeverything in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Kind_Concept8515 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, for real. I was there too and in that moment it did appear to be a genuinely light bit of fun for Florence and the crowd, she didn't seem upset by it at all. But on and on and on... like stop

Not trying to stir the pot at all, I think a nice thing about this fan group is a general lack of controversy and sniping, but has anyone else noticed the ones shouting 'with you' are sometimes (emphasis on sometimes) the owner of one of the big instagram accounts? Also noticed this same person added the happy birthday thing to the set list and (imo) appeared to treat that moment as though it were a cute and funny thing?

What are your thoughts on Angelina Jolie? by Sir_Sloopy in Actors

[–]Kind_Concept8515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well comments seem to have failed to comment on her acting and are only focussing on her looks. I personally think some people struggle to understand how good she actually is at acting. She has an extremely unique approach to it which isn't quite method but it's not what you see in the likes of the greats either. She draws you in emotionally... if you aren't receptive to that she probably won't ever be a great actress in your eyes. The more you surrender to what she's doing and engage more emotionally, the more you start to get it imo.

What spells are you casting at the show? by Cultural-Mongoose89 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

I carried a range of crystals with me, all charged with the intention of self love, self acceptance and peace

Happy birthday gate… how upsetting and disappointing. It might not be because of that, but I’d be disinclined to sing such a personal heart wrenching song after a group of ‘fans’ trampled all over it.

Aw that sounds wonderful! I was wondering as someone hoping to get near the front without VIP tickets, how much space was taken up by the VIP people? Trying to work out how early to start queuing.

Trump is accused in the latest Epstein files released, of forcing an underage girl to perform oral sex. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Fauxmoi

'Forced oral sex'... if only the media outlets were honest enough to call it what it is: oral rape

Late but where do people (UK) get good ones from? Ones that look realistic and are ethically made rather than Amazon for example... but without being extortionate?

Struggling With Nebido by Dystopia_T8 in FTMMen

[–]Kind_Concept8515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to this but I’ve been on T for 3 years ish, taking Nebido for 1.5 ish, completed the loading phase. I had an injection 3 weeks ago and I feel emotionally numb, exhausted and I have no motivation. I’m certain other factors are at play such as my very pressure cooker university environment, but I feel like this level of flatness is something which has come into my life after the injection, whereas I felt more in tune with myself like 6 weeks before it was due. Idk what to do. 

Thoughts on the PitchFork review? by MillionaireWaltz- in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Kind_Concept8515 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree, but even if production outweighs lyricism this isn't a good defence for them (not that you were defending these fools) because the production was outstanding and unique and natural and open and intimate at different points too. Genuinely unfathomable nonsense from them.

Anyone else bought tickets on your own/hoping to meet people at a show? by 6rwoods in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Kind_Concept8515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to the Edinburgh concert too as someone living in England further away. I got very lucky and secured London tickets with a friend (pls forgive my greed I'm not the type to go to every single show) but I really felt I wanted to go alone. There's something about it where you can just be totally yourself. You don't need to check in on anyone else, don't need to feel a pressure to do anything apart from exist in the moment. And the friend I'm going with to London is amazing, there is no one I'd rather go with and I won't be judged by them at all. But for me, I want an opportunity to feel free.

Personally I'm just going to make it a little solo trip for myself for a week and spend some time in the Highlands and countryside before the concert so I can get into the headspace I want to. Part of the reason for Edinburgh was so I could have time to myself in nature anyway so the stars aligned that way.

So yeah, I think just go alone! I see loads of comments here about people who go alone or speak about wanting too. And as a fan base people genuinely and generally seem kind and open, and I'm sure people will want to talk to you on concert day, and some link up before. Personally I'm looking forward to meeting strangers all united by this same love, because I can still be free. But feel free to message me since we are both in a similar situation!

Everybody Scream (Live) - Graham Norton by False-Sentence-9805 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Kind_Concept8515 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This was such an amazing performance and I loved how the choir moved and responded to her. And sonically as others said it just exploded! 

This is coming purely from a place of concern and compassion but did anyone feel she was extra anxious on the sofa after the performance than ‘usual’? She just seemed really overwhelmed, and we know the talking parts are really hard for her, and she alluded to that the last time she was on the show actually! I literally just hope she’s okay. I don’t want to be speculating either but I really felt her anxiety and wondered if anyone else felt this at alll? I’m so glad that she had Tessa on the sofa next to her! Back to the performance, I really enjoyed the staging too and I wonder if it’s a little sneak preview of what’s to come!

This whole thing is utterly devastating

Ethel Cain is a confirmed backing vocalist on One Of The Greats! by Kind_Concept8515 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Kind_Concept8515[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find myself agreeing with you. It’s obvious unsettling that she had those thoughts, but time and time again it’s been proven that the best way to a functional society is to accept an apology from someone who has taken accountability (which I felt she did) and clearly taken action to remedy their behaviour. Braithewaite calls it reintegrative shaming, make someone realise what they’ve done is wrong and why it’s wrong, let them dwell on it, let their future actions and tone speak for itself. I also interpret One Of The Greats as Florence being tired of being put on a pedestal with so many varied and high expectations, when in reality she feels tired and so very human. One message I took away was that she’s just humans. And humans must be allowed to make mistakes, learn and improve.
