funny how the entire concept of Eternal Sunshine was about erasing the past, letting go of old memories, and finally moving on… yet here we are again.

every single time ariana is single for five minutes she runs straight back to her exes or the exact same type of messy situations. zero growth. zero self-reflection. just the same cycle on repeat.

the album was marketed as this big “healed girl era” moment deleting old memos, closing chapters, becoming a new person. meanwhile in real life she’s out here nostalgia-baiting with ricky again, following his family, getting spotted with him, doing the whole soft-girl performance while clearly still stuck in the same patterns she’s had for over a decade.she sings about wanting to forget and move forward, but her actions scream the opposite.

she keeps circling back to the same men, the same validation-seeking behavior, the same drama. it’s actually hilarious how contradictory it is. the “eternal sunshine” narrative was cute for the album rollout, but the real eternal sunshine seems to be her inability to learn from anything. she's the same girl, different PR package with zero actual growth.

She really loves treating her boyfriends like personal bodyguards and servants

she has this pattern of making whatever man she’s with carry all her bags, act as a human shield, and basically cater to her every need in public “you exist to serve and protect me” energy. dalton dealt with this heavily you’d constantly see him lugging her shit around while she walked in front looking all delicate and unbothered. she likes having a big strong man next to her for protection and convenience and wants the safety and the image boost but treats them like hired help instead of actual partners. it’s weird and lowkey dehumanizing imo this is just another example of how entitled and self-centered she actually is

She is using Ricky as promo for her new album

this whole thing screams calculated PR move she randomly starts following his sister again, gets spotted with him, has her parents “approve” him… it’s all too perfectly timed right before her new album drops.Two possibilities and neither of them are cute:

one: she’s either feeling deeply insecure about her body right now (which is obvious to everyone) and is running back to Ricky because he represents the “old days” when she felt desired and hot. She needs that male validation to feel okay in her skin.

two: even worse she’s straight up nostalgia baiting she knows her fans go feral for “Ricky + Ariana” content, so she’s dangling him to get everyone talking about their “romance” again and possibly speculate her singing about him on her next album rather than ethan. that way the conversation shifts away from how terrifyingly thin and sick she looks.

Either way, it’s manipulative she’s not above using people (especially exes) as props when it benefits her image or her rollout(mac and pete mess of a situation) we’ve seen this pattern too many times. the second the album promo dies down, she’ll probably drop him again like she always does. this Ricky reunion (or whatever it is) feels fake as hell and purely transactional

Her apology for this was never genuine

She basically ruined the place for everyone else. The shop’s rating went from A to B almost immediately because of the backlash. People were buying those donuts and she was just out here tongue-bathing them like a degenerate. Her apology was complete bullshit. She gave the most half-assed “I learned from my mistakes, we all do” nonsense she never actually took real accountability. she just wanted the drama to die down so she could go back to being America’s sweetheart promoting her album with zero remorse, zero understanding of how her actions affected that small business.

And here’s my theory: her ED brain was probably absolutely disgusted by the sugar and donuts and once proves again how fatphobic she is. Yes, America has very obesity issues she didnt come from a concerned place that “I hate America” comment was likely her having a mental breakdown over the calories and processed food. But instead of just keeping quiet, she still licked multiple donuts on camera like a fucking weirdo like make it make sense.

This whole incident perfectly shows who she really is a spoiled, entitled brat who does whatever she wants without thinking about how it impacts other people she grew up getting everything handed to her and never faced real consequences. even when she does something gross and disrespectful, she gets a slap on the wrist and moves on. She hasn’t changed. She still operates with that same “the world revolves around me” mentality its only now covered by a fragile thin soft girl act to erase the fact that she’s always been selfish and out of touch.

Ariana’s skinwalking/cosplaying of Victoria will never not be bizarre and cringe as hell.

The way she fully adopted her mannerisms, her AAVE, her tone, her attitude, her whole vibe during that era… it was straight-up unsettling. She wasn’t “inspired” she was doing full character cosplay of a Black woman. The voice, the sass, the slang, the energy it all felt like she was trying on blackness like a costume because it was trendy and made her seem cooler/edgier.And of course she got away with it.

I’ve always wondered if Victoria ever felt weird about it. Like… did she ever watch Ariana doing that exaggerated version of her and feel some type of way? Or did she just stay quiet because she didn’t want to risk the friendship, the business relationship, or getting on Ariana’s bad side? Because let’s be real calling out Ariana has never ended well for anyone.The whole thing was so bizarre. Watching a white girl from Boca Raton try to “talk Black” and move like Victoria while being besties with her was peak cultural appropriation it was always weird.

Her attempt at that initial ballet choreo is horrible

Every time she does that little “ballet” choreography it’s so stiff, awkward, and clearly not professional. She has zero control, zero grace, and zero technique. It just looks like a girl who watched a few TikTok tutorials and decided she’s a ballerina now. She’s not professionally trained. At all. She just loves the aesthetic the fragile pastel coquette fantasy, the soft girl in pointe shoes, the “ethereal delicate doll” image that’s why she keeps forcing it it fits her current brand of looking like a broken Victorian baby doll, not because she actually cares about ballet as an art form.

She can wear all the leotards, ribbons, and ballet flats she wants it doesn’t change the fact that her dancing looks basic and untrained the balletcore era is pure performance and aesthetic bait. She wants the “pretty fragile artistic girl” label without putting in the actual years of training it takes to be good at it it’s a cute little fantasy and stop pretending you’re some graceful ballerina, Ari.

What would be the first thing you'd say to Beyoncé if you met her irl?

It’s actually disgusting how much of Ariana’s career was built off Black artists and Black culture, only for her to appropriate it when it was trendy and then drop it like it was nothing.

Jordin Sparks situation with “The Way” is one of the most shady examples.That song was originally written for Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo. Jordin had the demo, it was meant to be another big moment of her career but her label at the time fumbled the bag and didn’t treat her right, so the song ended up getting passed to Ariana’s team. They reworked it, gave it to her, and it became her breakout hit. Jordin a super talented Black artist could’ve had a massive career boost from that song. Instead, Ariana got the hit, the momentum, the fame, and basically launched her pop star era off of it.

She benefits from Black creativity, Black songwriters, Black producers, Black culture… then disrespects it by caricaturing it for clout and discards it when she’s done. The minute the “baddie” image stopped being beneficial, she switched back to victim/soft girl/white savior mode. It’s giving colonizer behavior. Take what you want, profit off it, then pretend it never happened. The fact that she built so much of her success on the backs of Black artists and culture while showing zero genuine respect is foul. And her fans will still scream “she’s just inspired!!” or “it was a different time!!” No. She knew exactly what she was doing. The cultural appropriation was calculated, the career jumps off other people’s work were calculated, and the discarding of that image when it was no longer useful was calculated.

Jordin deserved so much more. Ariana’s entire early breakthrough is lowkey built on stolen opportunities and appropriated aesthetics. I’m tired of pretending that’s not the case.

I agree with everything in this video, her fans are her biggest enablers and the "don't comment on women's bodies!" excuse has been worn out

fans have become her biggest enablers and it’s actually disgusting at this point. The “don’t comment on women’s bodies!!” line was originally meant to be anti-ana and anti-shaming, but they’ve completely twisted it into pro-ana propaganda. Now it’s used as a shield to silence anyone who points out the obvious: she looks severely malnourished and sick.

It creates this toxic bubble where nobody is allowed to say anything even when we can clearly see her deteriorating in real time meanwhile she’s out here flaunting her bones in music videos and on stage, knowing millions of young girls are watching. The hypocrisy is wild these celebs have unlimited access to the best doctors, nutritionists, therapists, and resources that normal people could never afford… and they still choose not to get help.That’s what makes it so icky. It’s not just “her body, her choice” when she’s a public figure actively influencing impressionable fans.

She has every tool available to recover and she’s choosing not to, while her stans cheer it on and attack anyone who expresses basic human concern.The “don’t comment on bodies” excuse has officially become dangerous. We’re watching someone waste away and a huge chunk of her fandom is normalizing it, romanticizing it, and treating it like a cute little aesthetic. It’s genuinely disturbing.

That whole interview with Paul was so awkward and it lowkey showed the real Ariana slipping through the “classy soft girl” mask for a second here.

She was clearly trying so hard to bond with him as a fellow “serious actress” asking all these random, overly deep or weird questions, fishing for some deep artistic connection but Paul was giving short, dry responses and wasn’t feeding into her vibe at all. He wasn’t rude, just normal and not overly impressed.Then the moment he lightly laughed at one of her questions… you could hear the real her come out that sharp “what?” she let out was pure irritation and offense she got mad that he didn’t take her seriously but because she’s committed to the “elegant fragile girl” image, she immediately forced the smile back on like nothing happened.

Underneath all the breathy voice and soft aesthetic, she still has that fragile ego and gets genuinely pissed when people don’t give her the reaction/validation she expects

The pale patchy makeup makes her face look so old

Her face looks so washed out and old lately the foundation is patchy, cakey, and way too light, making her skin look dull and lifeless that super bright red lipstick which creates this insane, harsh contrast against her pale skin. There’s zero blending, zero warmth, zero contrast in the rest of the makeup it just makes her look way older than she is and kinda corpse-like. She’s a professional. She has an entire glam team but this makeup looks cheap.

Whether it’s part of her “old Hollywood / fragile doll” fantasy or she genuinely thinks it’s serving, it’s not working. It’s giving aging drag queen more than ethereal pop star and the fact that she keeps choosing this specific makeup style (super pale base + bold lip with no dimension) makes me think she likes how it photographs or fits whatever narrative she’s pushing but… it’s not flattering. It’s aging her. Add some warmth, some blush, some actual contour. Stop making yourself look 45 when you’re 32.

She started following Ricky's sister and liked this post...I've seen this story before

I can tell she's already plotting....This is getting weirdly familiar and lowkey disturbing. She randomly starts following Ricky’s sister again, likes the post of her and her husband announcing their pregnancy, and now Ricky’s been spotted with Ariana’s parents at her tour, them being friendly aproving of him? The same pattern she did with Ethan and Lily is playing out all over again. Now she’s back in Ricky’s family’s orbit like it’s nothing. Is this just calculated promo for the new album? Stirring up drama and headlines so people talk about her? Or is she genuinely playing the same game again inserting herself into another man’s life and inner circle for whatever sick thrill or ego boost she gets from it?Either way, it’s nasty.

The fact that she keeps doing this “friendly with the family/ex’s circle” thing right before some mess happens is such a red flag. She has a very clear pattern of getting close to people and then blowing up their lives when it suits her she really can’t help herself. This woman moves like a professional homewrecker pyscho with a good PR team.

It looked like she was scooting over to flirt with him

its actually crazy she waits for him to make eye contact

and then gets giddy and sits next to him, makes little pats on his shoulder,

he scoots away, she tries again touch on his back but it seemed like he was so uncomfortable and doenst pay her any mind so she goes back to her seat.

this is probably how she managed to initiate things with ethan on set but he was a weakling, not man enough to set boundaries, so he crumbled lol
