I hope Thedas has self-help books, and I hope one of them is called something like “So You Love a Fereldan, And They Have a Mabari: How to Handle Not Being the Most Important Someone in Your Beloved’s Life”

And in the red glow of sunset, those walls finally came into view. They were imposing: a curved mountain of earth crowned with with concentric rings of tall gray stone, gilded by the setting sun. On the northern side, the Minanter River rushed through the city’s water gate, creating a constant low roar like the sound of the sea. The city itself, glimpsed only as a glory of marble palaces set on green hills and ringed by broad boulevards, receded behind the height of its walls as the caravan approached.  — Last Flight by Liane Merciel

Ok so Rebecca Black was a 13 year old Latina girl who got scammed by a company that preyed on girls like her. They promised to help kids with dreams get a singing career but instead just took their money, like college fund level money, and made terrible music videos like a vanity press for aspiring singers.

Basically they made their money taking advantage of kids, promising them they’d be famous just like their favorite teen idol and maybe get to meet and perform with them once they were famous too, and conning their loving parents into paying out tons of money for nothing.

Rebecca Black was different than other kids because the video she got was so bad it went viral. The company she worked with did everything wrong, even auto tuning a kid with a decent voice until she sounded like a robot. She was a teenage girl who is trusted an adult who promises he’s a music expert and in the end not only did the company take her money with no intention of actually helping her get anyway where, she became a national joke and the target of bullying online and IRL along with the friends she’d invited to be the video with her. (I’m talking death threats)

Because making fun of girls, right?

On the bright side the song was catchy and the parody value made it and Rebecca famous, but the scam company wanted all the money off of it. So now the one time their company didn’t just cause parents and teens to lose money, they were hell bent on robbing a freaking middle schooler.

That’s why it’s so great to see her have a hit single at 19. To show the world and everyone who laughed at her or treated her like a joke (and that probably includes the people who scammed her and made the Friday video, then tried to rob her once it went viral) that the jokes not on her. She has talent and she’s going to make it!
