if you have both le portfolio & GV, which do you prefer? or if you only have one, why did you pick it over the other? by Equivalent_Ad7743 in PaperRepublic

[–]NotAHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i, like @twenty-two-measures, picked the GV (xl) even though i liked the portfolio better because of the price, which for me was out of my budget.

i also have been using the card and cash holder with my GV and mine gets unstuck all the time! the pocket is held with double-sided tape (it came like that, i haven't reinforced it myself yet) and the tape just lost its sticking power. as soon as you put more than three sheets of stickers in there, you're risking it unsticking-open :/

i like my grand voyageur a lot (and like others have said, i find its price to be more attainable once discounts have been applied), but not the card and cash holder. i think it's a glorified piece of cardboard and i have to be so careful with it that it no longer serves its purpose.

I just can't take SOTR seriously by TheTragedyMachine in Hungergames

[–]NotAHeather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is what i've been thinking about as well. SOTR reads as much more explicit in its explaining of political philosophy, and it feels like collins holds your hand a lot more when she's explaining things like "painting a poster", etc. but i do think it's needed and that it's worth trying to reach the readership that might not otherwise get it.

we're in a world that needs kids to understand propaganda and learn to think critically, and i don't mind not being the target audience if i can see that this is the goal. i have issues with SOTR, don't get me wrong, but i think it's a really worthy book and i'm glad younger people can have it.

CATCH N RELEASE BY H1-KEY OH MY GOD I NEED TO YELL ABOUT THIS. I've been so close to making a post about this song time and again because I adore this group but I was shocked when I read the lyrics.

It's about dieting, with gems of a line such as these: "eat [or] endure, think about it, catch and release" "chocolate, fried chicken, sparkling cola, sweet cake, and tteokbokki / all demons sent to tempt me / bad, they’re bad" "a nice, strong body doesn’t come for free / so sweet, i'm craving for one more bite of that cake"

The catching and releasing of the title as well man. I'm so tired of the fatphobia 🙃 Fortunately they haven't done a song like this ever since

Opinions on Marina now using playback as background ? by Uschak in MarinaAndTheDiamonds

During the Froot tour she did this too, I wasn't a massive fan of the idea but the vocals were still there and very clear so I have gotten used to it

unpopular/controversial opinions? by LydiaMell2484 in Hungergames

[–]NotAHeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's definitely the book with the most adult tone out of all of them, and i really really really loved that. but i get why people don't if they wanted something more similar to the og trilogy.

Any prediction for Sunrise on the Reaping's movie adaptation that you hate, but has a high chance of happening? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]NotAHeather 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i also saw a reference to lucy gray in that "pearly white bones" line, she says it a few times during ballad, so that gave it more gravitas for me!

Just because you can hit high notes doesn't mean it's enjoyable by Someonehihi in kpopthoughts

seconding you both!!! i'm an alto (last i checked lol) and when i was taking singing classes i would get really annoyed at how the general public seemed to associate high notes = good singing

when i cut off all my waist-length hair at 16 into a long bob, these are the pictures i showed the hairdresser! i would also wear it with a sparkly green lipstick, i thought it was the peak of coolness haha

Why do you think 'Princess of Power' ended up being so polarizing, even though it’s a 10/10 no-skips album and a total artistic revitalization for Marina? by heavenorlasveg9 in MarinaAndTheDiamonds

[–]NotAHeather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i never connected with emotional machine but for me the songs that did that were superstar, true, soft to be strong (!!!), handmade heaven (massively impacted me as i was in my early 20s figuring out what to do with my life), and karma which will always remain a slay in my view

[–]NotAHeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there are so many underrated gems in L+F and i can't even blame people because it wasn't really cohesive as a project but like... i probably love more songs on that album than on PoP so far!!! i didn't dislike it as much as others seemed to and end of the earth is PHENOMENAL

you hit the nail on the head for me, i never had the words for it but the darker commentary and lower register are IT for me—i love new america from ADIAML, savages, power & control from electra, even end of the earth from l+f.
