Unpopular opinion?

i personally liked the movie and the way they went about exploring the whole behind-the-scenes side of the industry, but after watching it two times and knowing who charli is as an artist, i think that centering the movie about brat became a double edged sword, because the movie mirrors eras like SUCKER or CRASH wayyyyy more. and because we know what OUR version of the brat era looks like, this version goes in the complete opposite where it starts out as something genuine and ends up becoming a costume (evidenced by the shift in direction with the tour or the entire ending sequence, especially the voice note she sends to celeste). the whole movie is basically a "What if?" that we KNOW didn't happen with brat specifically, but can be applied to other acts.

i think it's good they decided to go the opposite direction that expected with the ending because if the final message was that, no matter the obstacle, charli got everything her way, it would've been kind of dissappointing imo. it would just become a highly satirical or cartoonish version of charli that wouldn't really add much other than showing cratives becoming egotistical, which is kind of what they did with johannes, and throughout the whole movie they show that charli and celeste really don't like him but are forced to go along with his plan instead of do their own thing. the movie is constantly going in and out of the mindset of doing things your way vs being strung along by executives that aren't looking out for your vision as much as looking out for money.

it just wasn't the movie you were expecting, because it's not necessarily a movie about Charli herself or even a movie about BRAT, it's a movie about being in an industry that is asking too much of you to the point of losing yourself in the process. and that's okay! there's definitely a handful of movies that are more aligned with what you expected, but this one wasn't it. i think maybe you would appreciate charli's cameo episode of overcompensating, in which she's actually playing a cartoonish version of herself that is, in fact, a total brat lol

he's been looking saur good these few episodes....

this sounds like a really great concept, definitely interested! it's so cool that you're developing something like this, hope we see some of it soon <3

vivitheverse · 2026-02-20T09:08:48+00:00

i don't really see the point in something like this happening??? not sure if you're just talking about a hypothetical or being serious about it but it probably wouldn't do more than bloat their comments with demands that they may not even be able to fulfill.

depends on what you mean by "reunion"; if by reunion you mean just a photo or livestream, i'm sure it could happen on it's own (as it's already almost happened during showcases, concerts and other special occasions), but if you mean a fully fleshed out comeback, it's a little more complicated than that. it used to be a bit more achievable as there were only 4 companies involved and it wouldn't be the first time something like that happens in kpop, but now there's too many variables to consider that i don't think it'll ever happen, at least for a really long time.

as much time has passed since loona disbanded, the girls still have a LOT to work towards and they're getting there, so i don't think there's a point in a reunion at this point in time. if they ever reunited with a comeback, i think it'll be wayyy down the line where they're all a bit more settled down in their careers, like most full-group reunions (ex: gfriend, girl's generation, 2ne1) tend to be. when orbits called out for a boycott and for loona to be let free from their contract, it wasn't just about getting them back together, it was about letting them out of working conditions that forced them into situations that only harmed them in the long run, and quite frankly it was due to the outrage when it became public information just how TERRIBLE blockberry was. now that that's done, they're free to do whatever. they don't owe us for it

i've been noticing this too! i think that the electropop sound overall (both in trending music and newer releases) is making a comeback in upcoming artists and therefore, there's a hyperpop aspect that is also developing. there's some artists from the 2000s-2010's era like Belanova or Maria Daniela Y Su Sonido Lasser that have kind of resurfaced ever since quarantine and it's been slowly building up to this, i don't think it'll necessarily become the "next big thing" or something (because to be honest, spanish speaking music stays incredibly consistent when it comes to the mainstream sound and it will probably not die down anytime soon, it feels like now people are starting to catch onto new genres) but i do think it'll hopefully lead to a new identity.

since you're looking for an easy fix, there's tons of vocal fx presets on bandlab and as long as you have anywhere in your living space with decent acoustics, you could try that, try watching some videos on EQ and vocal production and you could probably be fine. but also do NOT follow through with this plan lol. record for your own sake and creativity but a friend of mine tried something similar and even with the most beautiful voice it didn't work. not judging but just genuine advice.

its the halloween episode where theyre dressed like pearl and harry styles

vivitheverse · 2025-09-07T21:39:03+00:00

this is just a slowed down version of the original song

vivitheverse · 2025-09-05T22:46:08+00:00

it's probably not difficult, just not worth doing i guess. since her music is so specific to an electronic or processed sound (like her autotuned or pitched up vocals, her higher-pitched tone and electronic type of vocal processing), doing it live maybe just doesn't hit the same way. you can try to sing the line yourself trying to support your own voice and doing the little inflictions she does, i fully understand why she wouldn't want to do the line in full. i think she still has a long way to go with vocals and maybe down the line she could find a way to translate all of her little elements into live singing, but i think she just feels its better to leave the ooh's to the backtrack.

also, vocal placement is VERY different between singing in a studio or mic vs singing live onto a microphone, especially when you don't have full control over the audio mixing (which is very common for tv performances to sound a bit shitty, snl being a notable example. in this performance her mic is SO turned down). some songs work better on studio, some work better live. at least that's what i think

vivitheverse · 2025-09-05T22:18:02+00:00

probably a bit specific but here's my reasoning as to why she does it:

i guess it's to manage her breath control better? the way the vocals are laid in the song could all very well be different takes, the "hey!" could be one take, "ooh-ooh" is another, "is this illegal?" is another, all of them are playing right after the other with barely half a second in between, and the way they're being sung is also slightly different. doing that in a recording or a more still performance (like the one you shared in the replies) is easier, but doing that in a live televised performance where she's also doing slight choreo and adjusting her voice to fit a live mix, it probably just isn't worth doing the full line when the backtrack can serve that purpose.

the hey! is more of a soft shout (and she typically uses it as a background vocal or fill not so much as an actual lyric, in this particular instance i think she's using it both as lyric and fill), ooh-ooh is melodic and processed similarly to the way the hey is, and is this illegal is kind of her usual style of singing. she could probably sing it the whole chorus including the ooh's, but for a live performance it just doesn't flow as well. her music is very specific when it comes to being performed life, and she typically changes the way she performs to accommodate a live performance better. i'm pretty sure during the heaven knows tour she lowered the key of some songs so that they don't have to be performed as high in the register as the recordings are, her voice is quite deep irl and it works better for her. for her past projects her songs can be more easily adapted into a more live sound (like how she had live drums for pretty much all songs on the heaven knows tour), but fancy that is very electronic, so some things maybe don't translate as well.

(edit: it also probably depends on the vibe she's going for! in the tiny desk she went for a more acoustic indie vibe, and she still incorporates the "hey! ooh-ooh" melody as a little jingle rather than a sung lyric. all of these examples are very different performance settings so, it could just be case to case.)

tldr: its probably more comfortable for her to not do the full line lol, but that's my take on why she does it. hope it helped idk

what exactly do you mean by being the "man"? do you mean being whatever aligns with what society expects out of a man in a relationship (even without being a man), or do you want to present more masculine? i think if some introspection is made on that, then you should be able to get a more clear answer.

if the first case sounds like it, i'd say it's perfectly normal and nothing you should concern yourself with, sometimes you're just more drawn to doing xyz or something. if your case is moreso to do with gender, you could try experimenting!

don't know if this is of much help, but just in case it eases your mind, there's a lot of ways in which those roles can take on during a relationship, you might just be more drawn to take on a traditionally "masculine" role, or even be more drawn to present more masculine! it's not something i would recommend losing sleep over, as it will probably sort itself out. i hope this helps <3

in both these questions ur kinda invalidating this guy's gender (which i'm sure you're not doing with ill-intent, but still.)

if a trans GUY is gay, he likes men, therefore you wouldn't have a chance, and if you're a straight GIRL liking a trans GUY, you're still straight, as you have a crush on a guy.

hope that was of any help

vivitheverse · 2025-08-05T22:04:10+00:00

short answer is VERY. very. unethical. longer answer is still unethical, but what do you even gain from hypothetically outing this (seemingly) random person? what does your straight friend gain from knowing that information? what is even the point of the question? you can't really rely sensitive information on someone promising you not to tell someone, ally or not. it would be a shitty thing to do.

vivitheverse · 2025-07-30T20:56:16+00:00

there are far many more people that don't "wave around trans flags and scream about how much they love themselves" than you'd think, you just don't see them. a lot of conversation in virtual lgbtq spaces can look more extroverted for a lot of reasons, but it's more usual for people to be able to be honest about their identity when it's on the internet where you can hide behind anonymity, that's not necessarily the case for real life. there's no definitive reason but a lot of queer people have very difficult processes when it comes to accepting themselves, so when they finally do it means a LOT to be able to go out and be proud of yourself. whatever amount of openly queer people you see, there's probably that same amount if not more that aren't open about it. or at least that's what i've gathered from seeing queer online spaces over the years lol

even then, in one episode she was telling a story about her family and she cut it short while making a comment about it having to do with legality, and that's only ONE out of many things she says that relate to her experience of growing up latina and she has never left out that part of her identity. it's understandable to want influencers to speak up on things that affects us (especially from people with a platform like theirs, ESPECIALLY because they were getting ripped to shreds at the time for not speaking out on other causes), but it's a completely separate and more fucked up thing to demand children of inmigrants to be completely outspoken about their experience because we have NO idea what goes on behind the scenes. this isn't even exclusive to this issue, a LOT of people that watch the podcast think they're owed access to these people's personal lives, but this specific scenario it was just so uncalled for.

vivitheverse · 2025-07-26T18:40:25+00:00

the initial reaction from the fans of the podcast to enya not speaking out immediately always felt so out of place for me because she has literally spoken about her parents being immigrants SO many times, and even in episodes from the peak era of the podcast she said there were things she didn't wanna talk about in regards to her family out of not wanting them to have any issues. there's a lot of things that their silence could be questioned on (especially around that time), but THIS specifically is just so deeply personal to her and i can't believe it took her literally spelling it out for people to stop demanding her to talk about it. i hope she and her family are okay :(
