This might be an controversial take but I think Camila's first album is her best honestly.
          	
          	I still love romance and cxoxo well I am trying to like but I don't think it's for me personally.
          	
          	Tbf though I think I listen to her first the most so I am holding a bias but idk with all the emotion from stuff with the girls, her and Lauren's connection breaking down and all she was going through I think it really fuelled a lyrical masterpiece.
          	
          	The songs are fucking beautiful, in ways I can't even describe the emotion that album elicits from me.
          	
          	I also think 'I Have Questions' is so so overlooked, to be fair she doesn't talk about that song anymore for obvious reasons but yeah it's one of the most soul touching and relatable songs I have ever listened to.
          	
          	Really hoping for some old Camila vibes in CC5, I wouldn't mind a mixture of experimentation still but I really crave those old sounding melodies and whimsical lyricism from her.

@TheIrishRain you definitely should try the rest of the songs and her unreleased she definitely has the best songs when it comes to her I can never say just one song that is my favourite cause all her albums have my entire heart but yess I became a fan of her when she left the group but even after all this time have past her debut album will forever be my favourite and then Lauren’s music as well is so good I am in love with her songs I am so ready for her album which hopefully will come out this year

@hrtslaurmila Brooo I dipped out of the fandom completely not long after Camila left so I only have gotten around to listening to her music the past year (and Lauren's too) and that first album is one of my favourite albums I think I have ever listened to!
          	  
          	  It's so so lyrically beautiful, so fucking poetic but as I said before that was definitely fuelled by everything she was going through at that time.
          	  
          	  I have tried to give xoxo more of a chance but I just cannot get into honestly, glad for her she was happy with it and proud of it but it isn't for me personally.

@gxrlhood I really have tried to listen to xoxo more and give it more of a chance but I really just don't vibe with it honestly, I appreciate Camila trying something different and her being happy with the album but yeah it isn't for me. 
          	  
          	  Camila had so so much soul but there was a lot she went through to produce such an amazing project. Hoping CC5 has some similar vibes to her first album

Can anyone who makes video edits help me out pleaseeee
          
          Super new to this, wanting to learn so my main thing is where do you guys get your clips? I wanna make 5h, camren and overall c and l edits but cant seem to download any vids and heard people saying about screen recording to get your clips instead?
          
          What editors do you guys use? I have canva premium and was thinking of starting off using that 
          
          Overall any tips and tricks to help out please, I'm gonna be taking it serious once I finish my works after the summer here but wanna get a head start and know the basics.
          
          It's gonna be mainly a hobby but still wanna put in the effort it deserves to make some decent edits and have some fun.
          
          Thank you to anyone who responds! <3

TheIrishRain

@hrtslaurmila thank you so much again! I will be sure to reach out which I probably will whenever I get the chance to sit down and begin learning properly. I really appreciate all the advice and tips, I'll be sure to let you know when I make a start! <3

hrtslaurmila

@TheIrishRain I’ll be looking forward to the edits and I would recommend some pre-made edits just so you always have some ready to post if you lose motivation to edit for a bit but really that’s your choice as everyone is different me personally I have quite a lot in my drafts pre-made but I still make sure to edit on the days I post so my drafts don’t go down you know but it definitely can be hard mainly cause I have 4 editing accounts on tiktok hahah, if there is anything you’re needing help with or wanting to know you can message me on instagram @hrtscabello as I’ll be happy to help with anything

TheIrishRain

@hrtslaurmila thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond, I lowkey feel extremely overwhelmed cause I knew it wasn't gonna be easy but damn a lot does go into making edits which makes me respect the people who do it a lot even more! 
            
            I followed some of those accounts and I'll be sure to grab the apps I need, my account is private, essentially it's a lurker so there was an account I couldn't follow but nonetheless I'll be going to Pinterest and maybe screen recording certain interviews to cut down some moments too.
            
            it's a lot of work honestly, I am looking forward to dedicating myself to it later in the year once I take a break from writing but would you also recommend maybe me having a backlog of edits before I begin posting? I feel like that would probably be more beneficial (although it will be quite awhile before I post anywhere).
            
            Any other tips or recommendations please don't be afraid to send them my way and I might the odd time ping you on your message board too if you ofc did not mind lol.
            
            I will be looking up tutorials too etc... although I am not planning to launch a account til maybe in the new year. I still wanna take as much time as possible to at least become more comfortable and understand the basics

I love camila sm but istg if this shawmila shitshow sparks again I'm genuinely gonna be so annoyed broooo (especially since shown seems happy with his new gf).
          
          They were so much better as good mates(I actually really liked their friendship), here's hoping they at least don't get back together but if they do then it is what it is and I wish the best for them.
          
          I wanna also add and make it clear, I'm not one of those camren shippers that thinks the girls would ever have a thing again because to me that ship sailed a long long ass time ago.
          
          I don't mind either of them having partners at all but there is something about shawmila that seems so forced to me. 
          
          Like forcing two really good mates to take a romantic step and it just looks hella weird, that's just how I see them and not to mention how much it was shoved in our faces in the media lol 
          
          But fr if they do end up together again all I can hope is that they can have more privacy around their relationship and work through their issues they had in the past.
          
          But I don't think they are meant to be, just like Camila and Lauren too. I think both those ships irl have sailed their courses and served their purpose. 
          
          Hoping our girl takes some much needed time for herself, also Lauren too cause I think they both need it. 
          
          Last post about this for the time being, needed to get this outta my system lol

TheIrishRain

@slt4cc yeah honestly them being together brings a lot of hate and misogynistic vibes from his fans which as you said he doesn't even speak out on and it's genuinely disgusting. 
            
            some genuine vibes there between them ofc but majority of that relationship was pr, I hope they have both have had enough of it and don't go back AGAIN cause they're grown ass adults now and should be learning that it isn't what is best for either of them.
            
            really hope she takes time for herself and them two never get back together cause I don't wanna deal with all these exhausting shawmila fans all over again but more than anything camila deserves so much better imo
Reply

slt4cc

@TheIrishRain i personally don't care who the girls date but i need her to stay away from shawn. his fans are so weird and misogynistic towards her and it's appalling how he once never defended her. and most of the relationship was pr anyway (tho i know some parts were genuine) and i don't think that's what camila's looking for rn. his fans are already losing it on twitter and inserting themselves in the breakup situation because they're triggered as hell lol. i just wish we don't get a third reunion because fav always becomes the scapegoat
Reply

TheIrishRain

@Dinahsbitch they looked so forced together imo, i think it's so weird personally and only liked them as good friends. really hope it doesnt happen again but it is what it is if so. 
            
            camren will never be real again imo, i would lowkey love it but it aint ever gonna happen

I had to quickly pop in and comment on the fact apparently Camila and Henry have broken up.
          
          Sad for her, sucks for them both and hope it ended mutually. I will always lowkey be a camren shipper but I'm a realistic one that the girls aren't ever gonna be friends again never mind anything beyond that.
          
          Twitter is crazy, I checked in and damn the Camila peeps, camren shippers and shawmila shippers are fucking going at it. 
          
          I swear this will always be weird to me how invested people get in the private lives of celebrities and this is even more so why people hate RPF shipping and I cannot blame them. 
          
          People are so invasive and obsessed, like bro she's probably super upset rn so why tf are people obsessed with saying she needs a new fella or to get back with Shawn? 
          
          Even people saying about her and Lauren both being single at the same time for the first time in a hot minute like c'mon it's ridiculous. 
          
          Idk how they do it cause I wouldn't be able to handle people just not respecting basic boundaries. 
          
          Love my girly, hope she heals and comes back even stronger.
          
          I do hope she focuses on herself for awhile and doesn't just jump into another relationship but at the end of the day it is her life. But we sometimes need time for ourselves and I think that is what C needs for the time being. 
          
          Sorry for the mini rant, I just wanted to come here and talk about it. 
          
          What is everyone else thinking? Remember even if we disagree it can still remain respectful and civil, we're all entitled to our own opinions :)
          
          Gotta go edit my note about Henry and Camila in one of my BA chaps now lol

slt4cc

@TheIrishRain i agree. the fandom can never be normal or supportive with her love life. people are always divided and hateful in her romantic decisions because they don't approve of it. either way, i hope she's doing okay. and might i just share of how i also saw someone on twitter saying how they suddenly feel bad about pressuring camila to post or do public appearances without knowing she's going through a break up and i also felt a bit guilty haha. i just hope she takes all the time she needs to recharge and heal.
Reply

TheIrishRain

@slt4cc yeah she has seemed a bit down in the few recent appearances she has made so it probably happened recently and the news only broke now. I feel for her cause I believe this was genuine, break ups always suck and I can't imagine how worse they are in the public eye.
            
            Shawn seems genuinely happy with his new gf, I really do not like Shawmila aside from being a camren shipper . They do not work romantically imo, they were much better as friends but yeah I hope she's grown and learnt that going back to him wouldn't be good for either of them. 
            
            the shippers are all losing it on twitter, camren and shawmila and just fans saying she needs to get a new fella in general already, people are genuinely so weird honestly. 
            
            Like let her heal and give herself time, I hope she remains single for a while to focus on herself. excited for the new album!

@TheIrishRain im ngl im a bit sad with the news bc he really seemed to be helpful for her especially with all the hatred she received in 2024. that being said, it brings me back to her waymo performance in miami and how she looked blue and kind of down. they might've been off for a while now. either way i wish the best for camila. but i pray to god she does not go back to shawn. that's another hate train pending

Um how come I never seen the clip of the girls being asked about otps at the Hotel Transylvania premiere thing and Camila answered 'otps in the group haven't quite worked out' and her and Lauren smiled and kind of laughed it off lmaoooo
          
          I have never seen that clip until just now, I think a lot of people read into it wrong cause all the comments(bare in mind from nearly a decade back) were saying about being heartbroken she said it but I more so read from it she was making light of how the shipping was intense asf in the group well ofc between her and Lauren at that time.
          
          What shocked me more was her and Lauren smiling and laughing it off instead of it being all serious like it usually was when Lauren would find a reason to deny it and bring it up. It was acc kind of endearing, no matter what way it was meant.
          
          I didn't read from it that she denied camren(at that time cause the ship is long dead now irl lol), like honestly I'm not even genuinely trying to be being delusional for once. 
          
          I think a lot of people just read into it wrong or hey maybe I am but I guess it doesn't matter now since it's been 10 FUCKING YEARS LMAOOO
          
          Not me reading into it when it's been a whole ass decade later, damn camren really will forever have a hold on me lmaooo

TheIrishRain

@slt4cc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNYZNwRaa_M the question is asked at 2.40, also the interviewer adding the 'in the group' part knew what he was doing lmaooo 
            
            It's super quick but I think it's nice instead of it being super serious like usual

lowkey would love to have tiktok for the girls and camren edits but omg bro the shawmila shippers and camren antis would annoy me too much I would argue with everyone lmaooo
          
          Each to their own ofc, no hate but I'm too opinionated and always gonna be a camren shipper deep down to handle all those people so at least I'm being self aware here lmaooo
          
          If anyone knows any decent camren accounts on tiktok though, would appreciate anyone dropping the usernames below so I can check out if I do make one pleaseeee

TheIrishRain

@Dinahsbitch There's defo a difference between just liking a diff ship and being an anti though imo so those people you speak to just like other ships and maybe don't hate hate camren you know? Then again I hate shawmila as a ship sm but I wouldn't ever be rude to the shippers unless they were acting up towards me lol
            
            Well you can still tell me some of their names though! I can still search them in and watch some of their vids but yeah I think I'm just in my head about it tbh like I'm sure if I just stick to the camren crowd there's nothing to worry about
Reply

Dinahsbitch

@TheIrishRain, I'm actually friends with some of the Shawmila and Anti people and they seem pretty cool mostly because I just let them talk about Shawn and Camila and act like I'm interested lmao
            
            And as far as camren edits and shippers if you do make an account I'll tell you some of them that I know of and really love, and with the shawmila and antis I don't really see their hate comments as much as I do on videos I see from back in like 2019-2021. 
Reply

TheIrishRain

@hrtslaurmila Yeah I just know the antis can be pretty intense like and knowing my luck they would find me lol but I think I wouldn't link my fanfic there at least for awhile until I felt more comfortable at least. 
            
            I'm defo dedicated to learning cause I have taught myself how to edit and make covers quite decently and would be willing to do the same with videos but it's more so getting the music and actual clips to use honestly. 
            
            I think this is something later in the year I'm gonna focus on when I don't have so much writing commitments going on but thank you for your help it means a lot and cannot wait to start your story when I get the chance!

Truly sucks none of the girls posted about the tenth anniversary of 7/27, I mean I guess I can't be shocked like but it still suckssss
          
          I am already in the next day so the 27th is over for me but damn ngl I really would of loved to have seen Camila post something on her insta story more than anyone or Lauren idk.
          
          It sucks but omgggg ten years of 7/27! One of my favourite albums of all time, take me back to those days honestly. We took those OT5 days for granted, oh to be able to have that again would be a dream come true. 
          
          I miss OT5 more than old Camren (not by much though lol). 
          
          What's your favourite song on the album? Apart from the singles ofc. 
          
          My main one is Scared of Happy 
          
          AND I will forever be pissed that Big Bad Wolf wasn't a single, it deserved to be one!
