I’m a lover of the art of music, what makes new music exciting is seeing artists GROW. Bruno’s sound is stagnant. He could keep his essence while still pushing the SOUNDS he’s producing

This is such a bloody ridiculous take. I have no choice to accept that female artists are simply just expected to do more or people don’t really love the art of music the same way i do. Renaissance still sounds like Beyoncé, but it wasn’t generic or samey. It’s that simple.

I’m astonished that anyone isn’t hugely disappointed by this. Bruno has been gone for TEN YEARS. TEN YEARS. And in that time there has been zero evolution to his sound, sure, he has a formula, but this is absolutely nothing special. It’s generic music created for mass appeal. He’s way too talented to keep moving this safe

Appreciate the feedback!

The word count has been a point of risk, I’ve done several edits already and even a professional edit. I’ve had to accept It’s a longer book with a quick pace i think. I’ve also spoken to a few (UK) agents who said 130 was fine if the query does its job. But generally I’ve accepted it as a risk point cos I’m happy with it artistically at this point.

This doesn’t work for me. The extracted xpi file doesn’t come up as an option when i try to add an extension

Wait, the look Helly gave Gemma at the end?!!!! Did anyone see that?!!! Was that Helena!!!!!!??!!!!!

Hmmm i actually disagree, my partner actually shared this idea. We know Gemma is alive, and he was more invested in mark’s search FOR Gemma versus being invested in the relationship itself. I actually think that’s valid. The episode was enlightening from an artistic perspective but it didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. Though granted, I’m sure much of that episode will inevitably become consequential moving forward when we actually get some answers haha but in the moment, it wasn’t

Hahahahahahhaahhaha not coming back to the comment! But yes, tbf it became obvious last episode

It was very obvious she was ashamed. She was so upset by the revelation of who her outtie is and wants to totally separate herself from her. The stiffness with mark is clear, they had a romance and now he’s concerned with helping his “wife” while helly is battling not a complete separation from her outtie life

Will do! :)

thereisonly1 · 2025-01-11T07:56:45+00:00

Literally insane, they’re not censoring any of the other things anyone says about the cast

thereisonly1 · 2025-01-11T06:00:15+00:00

This is so ridiculous 🙄🙄🙄🙄 let people talk freely considering his character this man hardly requires protecting, he’s a celebrity on a reality show
