And that’s why you’re one of the most impressive writers on this app. You ooze honesty and good faith from every pore. Thank you for being you, whatever the performance was, I’m excited to discover all the unexplored corners of your art, of Princess BabyGirl. Through this kind of genesis + explanations (which are brillant I’m afraid) you reminded me that healing can only be beneficial to the creative process, and you have no idea how much I needed it.
If it’s a sort of announcement for a rebranding of yours, I’m utterly into it !!
Remember that they’re nothing better than artist demonstrating ipseity. Princess Babygirl forever and ever.

loving the meta-intertextuality! and the dress you made is fabulous 🌸
I also liked MYRR but felt a lot of resistance regarding the hype a couple years ago when people would aspirationally relate to the narrator, as there was nothing to admire about her. . In my reading, the narrator was driven to such an abject state because she never experienced or given love or warmth in her life. And she finds Reva, the one person who ever tries to show her compassion, distasteful and pathetic. She felt a lot more screwed from the onset. I think there was a part of me that wanted to gatekeep that feeling because i wanted people to find the hope in their own situation, realize they had friends or family who cared for them, not just in a parasitic way.
I felt with Reva there was always more hope, even with her hilarious dumb oprahisms. Reva was insecure and silly and always trying to make sense of her life like it was a hallmark movie, but I thought her persistence was brave and admirable, only possible because she had, if nothing else, love and roots.
i felt similarly, sort of an inverse situation? about the catcher in the rye where people were mad that holden was a whiny white rich boy without acknowledging he was deeply disillusioned and traumatized as a grieving brother and a witness to many forms of abuse.
