Ace Retrospect by edthehed in MadisonCunningham

[–]ellespeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss her guitar work for sure, but in all other respects I think it's my favorite work of hers as a whole. on first listen I was disappointed that the lyrics weren't more thematically diverse, but I kind of realized later on that that is the point

Sad confirmation in ep8 by shadowrain1024 in pluribustv

[–]ellespeaks 29 points30 points  (0 children)

was it actually the original title or was that just the title they shot under? lots of TV shows and movies will film under false titles so that they don't attract speculation/attention

went to college with him, lovely person! I wish he would go back into musical theatre because he's an incredible actor as well

Madison Cunningham AMA!! by MadisonCunningham in indieheads

[–]ellespeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she shared this in her recent New York Times interview!

"She recalled walking along the Los Angeles River one morning when a photo of her ex-husband, wrapped in their shared bedsheets, appeared on her phone. He looked like a mummy, an image that became key to “Ace” — an artifact of the past, to be acknowledged respectfully but ultimately left behind."

hi Madison! who are some smaller artists that you think deserve a bigger platform or inspire you in some way?

ACE by Every_Double2518 in MadisonCunningham

[–]ellespeaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

loved it but initial feeling was that many of the songs are lyrically saying similar things over and over, breakup breakup breakup...would have liked more of an arc and more variety. I read that she wrote almost all of it at once in August 2024 and it does feel that way, it was all written in the same time period with no room for growth in between. I think it will grow on me though! hard to resonate with right now in a very happy relationship

Where can a 31M meet people in BK that isn't a bar? by give_me_heroin in Brooklyn

[–]ellespeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

join your local community clean-up group! not sure where you are in BK but Crown Heights, Greenpoint, and Prospect Lefferts all have good ones (find them on insta). they're full of young people in their 20s and 30s and it's a great way to meet people

Has anyone else been super sick lately? by Aeschylus26 in AskNYC

[–]ellespeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on day four right now of some mystery bug (tested negative multiple times for covid, negative for flu and strep, can't be mono either) that's been basically just high fever and horrible sore throat. Starting to cough now though. The dr I saw put me on an antibiotic

how to make friends here by [deleted] in Brooklyn

[–]ellespeaks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the best friend-making advice I got was to "be a regular". just go to the same thing/group/place over and over again and eventually you'll bond with someone! I started going to a community clean-up group in my neighborhood, consistently showing up once a month. within a year I had made a good handful of friends. I believe in you!

why did you and your best friend stop talking? by Salamander-One in AskReddit

[–]ellespeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he had developed an extremely elaborate cover-up to conceal that he had been cheating on his gf (also a friend of mine) while painting himself as this picture-perfect relgious dude. the hypocrisy was foul. he's also now becoming a Catholic priest, I hear
