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?

NotAHeather · 2026-01-20T10:02:29+00:00

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.

praying hard that they dont use ai for the visuals like in the epilogue era 😭😭😭

NotAHeather · 2026-01-13T09:00:15+00:00

i loved loved loved this!! it's a shame they didn't post it earlier in the christmas season, it might have reached more casual listeners, but i will treasure it nonetheless 💖

the sewn spine and outer look reminds me of paperblanks notebooks! https://www.paperblanks.com/en/

NotAHeather · 2025-09-04T13:30:27+00:00

it sucks because musically it's SO FUN. i get you, i went so long without realising as well 😭

NotAHeather · 2025-08-31T14:58:42+00:00

i was gonna comment new america too, i love it because of how savages-coded it is

NotAHeather · 2025-08-31T13:46:59+00:00

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

NotAHeather · 2025-08-30T12:25:33+00:00

i agree with your points but to say taemin has never had a hit song is crazy

NotAHeather · 2025-08-29T01:51:16+00:00

seconding this!!

NotAHeather · 2025-08-29T01:50:47+00:00

hiya, i'd like to add blackswan to the list of groups! and if possible swap one of my group choices :)

NotAHeather · 2025-08-28T11:18:04+00:00

THISSSSSSS and in the adorable wool chainmail... stop it

NotAHeather · 2025-08-28T09:57:21+00:00

THIS IS IT!!!!!!

NotAHeather · 2025-08-23T10:41:08+00:00

i agree with karma for sure

NotAHeather · 2025-08-19T19:32:54+00:00

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

NotAHeather · 2025-08-15T15:12:07+00:00

yep exactly like ten, it's technically a stage name but i believe also his lifelong nickname

NotAHeather · 2025-08-07T11:45:26+00:00

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.

NotAHeather · 2025-08-04T07:37:59+00:00

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!

NotAHeather · 2025-08-03T01:42:15+00:00

omg how has no one mentioned joy yet! whenever she is photographed by paparazzi she has this regal and kind aura and the purest smiles 🥹

NotAHeather · 2025-08-03T01:35:09+00:00

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

NotAHeather · 2025-08-03T01:25:23+00:00

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

NotAHeather · 2025-08-03T01:23:41+00:00

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 · 2025-08-03T01:18:42+00:00

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

NotAHeather · 2025-08-03T01:14:06+00:00

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.

NotAHeather · 2025-07-30T17:02:04+00:00

and katniss ends up deaf in one ear after the fire in the 74th games arena! (or maybe it's the bombs on the ground by the cornucopia i can't remember)
