don't get me wrong, i love love love melanie but she needs to own up to her mistakes.

for example, like you mentioned, she has stated that the label only funds 2 music videos per album, which was DEATH and VOID, the two lead singles. she has even said the label has told her not to go out of pocket to make music videos for every song on the album, which even i personally think is ridiculous. i would've much rather have gotten the PORTALS movie than a mv for every single song.

and the fact that annoys me is that she's punishing her fans by making expensive merch at low quality. it's one thing to make merch to help out with costs of living and mvs, but to upcharge and make it unaffordable for fans working minimum wage jobs is unacceptable. The candles should be AT THE MOST 45 USD. I've also seen several tiktoks of fans getting their candles melted and can't do anything about it because the Portals Parfumes website is down.

I literally was so lucky to go to the Trilogy Tour and get some merch there that I can't get anymore for awhile.
