Yea all opinions aside, this was poorly written.

Fuck, I hope none of the guy’s family reads this. How pissed would you be if someone you were close to died, and then a random chick who hardly knew him wrote about it on the internet. This man had a whole life, likely full of people who cared about him who actually struggled with his passing, and she’s reduced it to…

HE LITERALLY GHOSTED HER!

 “I don’t know what the fuck we talk about!“

What a despicable piece of shit with that tweet.

No offence here, but I bloody hope not. We were in the midst of an ongoing investigation when your folks leaked that stuff last time. Sad to say, until you change your government, we need to keep your at an arms length.

I’m glad the rest of the world is finally figuring out he’s a 61 year old edge lord with nothing meaningful to say.

I love you, Australian news outlet.

I’ve never been all that into Arianna. But how she’s coping with this tragedy seems fantastic. I imagine dealing with the aftermath, and her relation to the attack, is extremely difficult. In every regard she seems to be confronting the reality of the situation and dealing with it. That takes strength of…

Just FYI to those interested, both ABC & Freeform are going to be live streaming Ariana’s concert tomorrow.

Here, have some more:

You know, I wouldn’t have blamed her if she never wanted to go near Manchester ever again, let alone give another concert there. The thought of that must be freaking her out at least a little. But she’s hanging in like a real trouper. This kid (yeah, I know, she’s 23 - but still) seems pretty alright.

Ariana is a good cat.

These kids deserve a bit of light after everything that’s happened.

The tone changes as she gets older. It’s rosier when she was young and gets darker and much less romantic as it progresses. By the time they’re in WV, she’s realizing how fucked it all is.

It’s been awhile since I read the book, but I remember it as being a lot less romantic about the immense poverty and fucked up-ness of her childhood. The trailer seems to completely glamorize her childhood in an “adventurous” and “off the beaten path” sort of way instead of how she truly portrayed it - full of anxiety…

There is just a TON of white privilege in the “but, but, AAAAAART!” takes on this subject.

In this case, I read the burning as an extension of the artwork itself, turning an installation into a work of performance art.
