@writtenbytali I think another reason why fans became so parasocial is bc our generation and the millennials were so used to celebs having a relationship w/ fans via social media. Twitter, as problamatic as it can be, was big for those kinds of interactions, espesially for Ariana's fans. It felt genuine bc it came from her and her alone, not her team. It made her relatable, reminding us that social media can be fun and not so performative. It was fans chance  one and only (most likely) chance to talk to her. 
          
          Maybe I am parasocial but not in the way that some of her fans are. One thing I don't do-and this applies to political figures as well-is idolize someone to the point where I'd justify their poor choices. Ik it's hard when someone you admire messes up, but they're flawed humans like the rest of us, and fame and  popularity shouldn't excuse them from facing the consequences of their actions. We see idolization in the industry and in politics (MAINLY in America), and it's scary.

@writtenbytali Ooo, okay (I'm pretending like Ik who Kaytranada is, lol).
          
          I might have to relisten to the remix! :) 
          
          Also, Ari looked so tea on Penn's podcast. The hair was haring and so was the makeup. Glam was eating and giving the Voice era. 
          
          Ik fans want her to go back to the heavy makeup she wore during the SWT era, but I honestly think she's past that. Times have changed. I don't blame her as it's realistic to switch things up after awhile. The cat eye needed to retire at some point. I understand, though. It's hard to let go, especially since that was like HER look for, like, 6-7 years.

@writtenbytali I got you. That's what I thought, but I also thought that maybe you were getting your hopes up for that sometime in the future. But hey, ya never know. I would've never thought that she'd colloberate w/ 2 Chainz but she did. Btw, I love their song sm. Brings me back to simpler times prior to COVID.

@writtenbytali No disrespect, but I don't think Ariana would ever incorporate metal into her music. Her music's never been that vibe, and plus, her voice is pretty soft (and sultry at times) so I cannot imagine that paired w/ metal. She's dabbled in different genres but that's the one genre that I can't evnvison her doing. 
          
          What's your dream collab for Ariana?
          
          I've been wanting her to collab w/ Bruno Mars for a hot minute. His collabs are usually pretty fire, and their voices would blend so well together (imo).
          
          My unpopular (I think) opinion is that Ariana's best collabs are the ones w/ artists who don't sing like her. Sure Bruno could hit those high notes, but he has a male voice and a different style of singing. 
          
          Do you remember the remix that Mariah did for yes, and? I wasn't the biggest fan of that song to begin w/ (and still am not, honestly), but the remix was...don't hate me...complete trash. It pains me to say this bc they're both so incredibly talented, but that remix was just not it due to the fact that they sounded too competitive. And also, sidenote, but Mariah sounded way too auto-tuney for it to be enjoyable. 
          
          On the other hand, the boy is mine remix worked incredibly well bc the girls all get their own section of the song. It didn't feel like Ariana was fighting for the spot in her own song, it just felt like a good remix w/ the artists who inspired the song.

@writtenbytali intro (end of the world) deluxue version mf asends me. better off is definitely a fav off sweetener. borderline is such an underrated 2000s R&B banger. 
          
          I'm beyond excited for petal. I feel like we might be getting some dangerous woman coded songs. She was feeling herself in dangerous woman, and she seems to be hinting at it in that vid she posted of her talking to her team!

missfrenchgirly

I listen to Ariana Grande too!!!! (^^)
          
          What's your fav album and song(s)??

@missfrenchgirly tbh i think as parasocial as many fandoms are, they can never be as scary as barbz and swifties... and with politicians i think it's far worse tbh. cause like come on what can the celeb really do to people who don't like them? but politicians can decide hmm let's make this group of people suffer just cause i don't like them.

@missfrenchgirly my dream collab would have to be with kaytranada tbh. like i LOVE his dance music and i actually loved yes and? original and the remix so i know i'd enjoy a collab between them. i also didn't quite like the mariah remix but now it's the one i listen to a lot. it sounds competitive cause ariana said (on penn badgley's podcast if i'm not mistaken) that she asked her producers to make mariah sound louder than her. but i love mariah's adlibs cause they're fye!

          if you’ve noticed me uploading a lot lately… you’re not imagining it.
          
          these stories are actually the result of about five years of writing. most of them have been sitting fully written for a long time and i’m just now going through and editing them, breaking the longer chapters into wattpad-friendly parts, and polishing them as i upload.
          
          so no, i haven’t suddenly become superhuman . i'm just finally sharing what’s already been living in my word documents drafts for half a decade.
          
          thank you for reading, supporting, and being patient while i slowly bring these worlds to life here. it genuinely means a lot.
          
          more is coming soon
