... made to promote the fae list, which was one of Grimes' curated playlists on Spotify, which you can see in full in the first image. While Her X/Twitter profile picture (second slide) is a photo taken from the unreleased I Wanna Be Software music video set shot in 2023, and you can see the closest match in the still from one of her DJ set backdrops.

In general, Grimes' profile pictures across all social medias over the years have been face crops of her, her or other people's artworks, as well as her logo. Though these two profile pictures have remained unchanged for a long time now, possibly the longest.

Hope you found this interesting!

Don't ask me mine

Let me start by saying that this is by no means irrefutable evidence that HANA had lent a hand to Grimes in producing Miss Anthropocene (hence why it is only a theory). But my suspicion isn't unfounded, and I will thus list all the reasons I believe that may have been the case.

Starting with the strongest one: HANA's first minutes of livestreaming the making of her album Hanadriel on Twitch. At 16:30 minutes (link starts at this timestamp) a viewer suggests to HANA to include a song about "Suicide" as she is brainstorming viewer-requested ideas for the album. HANA becomes uncomfortable and replies that "[she] already [has] a song about suicide" before beginning to stutter "but that's on, that's on, the..." and finally changing the topic of the conversation. This Twitch stream occured on 23 September, 2019, and we know from information like this Grimes' Instagram Story that the demo for You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around already existed before. You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around (Further: YMMWINA) is a song about suicide. There isn't a song about suicide inside HANA's discography (except for Cowgirl Bepop, but that is a song made during the making of Hanadriel, so couldn't have existed before then), or else why would she not speak it, so it's very likely HANA is thinking about YMMWINA in that first video snippet. The reason she doesn't disclose is because she may be under a non-disclosure agreement.

Second reason is that HANA has been frequently meeting with and around Grimes up until 2021-2022, beginning from 2015 with the Art Angels tours (she was the opening act). When Grimes began making Miss Anthropocene (further: Miss A) (starting in 2017), she was in regular contact with HANA, example, example, example. She enlisted HANA to sing on We Appreciate Power after Grimes' feud with Poppy. It isn't unfounded to say the collaboration on Miss A could extend beyond being a feature on We Appreciate Power and its music video/visualizer.

Third and final reason for my suspicion is the presence of HANA in the YouTube and Twitch streams, streamed on February 21, 2020 - celebrating the release of Miss Anthropocene and answering fan questions. At one point in the livestream, the conversation leads to HANA beginning to sing the lyrics of YMMWINA: "If you don't bleed then you don't die..." before Grimes interrupts her with "Stop singing my song!". They cheer and laugh, but to me that is another suspicious sign that HANA co-produced that song and maybe more than that.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments whether I'm up to something or nothing at all. And as a disclaimer, even if this theory is true, that doesņ't mean Grimes isn't the author of her discography or Miss A, or anything. It is frequent practice in the music industry to have a team of producers and songwriters behind you. Grimes collaborated with Illangelo to make the songs for Book 1, now she's collaborating with VADAKIN in the making of PSYOPERA. This isn't a case of wrongdoing, it is simply me noticing connections and wanting them to share. Thank you for your attention.
