reblog every time.

I’ve fallen down the Breyton rabbit hole again… (no shame). Would anyone be interested in reading my fanfic if I bring them back even though it’s been like… eight years lol. They are just so easy to write/love. As Hilarie Burton said, “they are the love story.”

PSA on Britney Spears and the #FreeBritney movement for anyone that needs or wants more information on what is going on with her. It’s a fucking rabbit hole, so buckle up.

A little backstory first. Britney was a child star starting at the age of 4 years old on Broadway, and then worked her way to the Mickey Mouse Club, and eventually the solo career we know today. Her career has been on autopilot her entire life. If you look back at her music, she’s been telling everyone for years she’s too controlled and treated as a product if you listen to the lyrics of most of her hits. Examples include: Lucky, Overprotected, My Perogative, Circus, Piece of Me and Gimme More. Her music videos, social media posts, tour props and photoshoots regularly show her in a cage or in chains. If anyone has ever seen videos of her when she was younger, you’d know her REAL singing voice is very similar to Christina Aguilera’s. Her record label didn’t like it, as they were both on the Mickey Mouse Club and about to release their debut albums at the same time. So they had her voice retrained to sing in the baby voice we all know today because they believed it to be more iconic and would create a brand and career for her instead of her real voice. It’s unhealthy, and it’s been destroying her voice over the years, thus why she is known for lip syncing. She wanted to make an acoustic type pop album in 2006 titled Original Doll and reinvent herself using her real voice. The album was shelved and cancelled once her label realized she would be singing in her real voice. She isn’t allowed to sing live because she will either fail terribly, or she’ll have to sing in her deep voice that she isn’t known for. Her entire career she has been treated like a product meant to sell.

Now, for the real tea.

Everyone remembers the 2007 meltdown. Everyone. Leading up the meltdown Britney was going thru a public divorce, had two children under the age of 2 at the time and was VERY much the focus of the public. We all saw her on every magazine cover. We all also saw the photo of her with one of her kids on her lap while driving. Go on YouTube once and look up ‘Britney Spears paparazzi’. You’ll watch her be chased and followed by hundreds of them, even trying to get into a public restroom to photograph her, videotaping her in tears asking them to leave her alone, and even filming her thru the windows of an ambulance while she was naked being taken away for her final mental health hold.

After the public meltdown, shaving her head, locking herself in her home with her children, speaking in a british accent on regular basis, wearing the imfamous pink wig everywhere, and shopping naked, she was hospitalized twice. After the hospitalization, her father petitioned the courts to be a TEMPORARY conservator to her until she was mentally stable and for only one years time. 2 months after her hospitalization she did a guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother. 6 months after her hospitalization, she drops the Womanizer video and starts to promote her new album Circus with its worldwide tour that grossed $131.8 million. If she’s so unwell, why did she start working right away?

Her father after one year petitioned the courts for the conservatorship to become permanent due to her ALLEGEDLY having EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA in her TWENTIES. It passed and has been that way ever since. For 12 years to be exact.

Now for everyone that doesn’t understand what that means let me break it down for you.

Britney Spears is a now 38 year old woman who is not allowed to do the following without her fathers permission or he can legally lock her up in a mental health facility:

• drive a car

• vote

• get married

• have children

• spend HER OWN MONEY

• see how her money is being spent

• see her children (she has 30% custody of both of her boys due to her dad assaulting one of her sons)

• leave her home

• hire her own lawyer

• have any control over her career

• speak about the conservatorship publicly

• do interviews that aren’t scripted and all final cuts are approved by her father as well

• use a cell phone without being monitored

• use social media unmonitored

• contact ANYONE without being monitored or having them extremely vetted. (Iggy Azalea allegedly had her house searched for drugs top to bottom when they collaborated on a song together)

• go shopping

• go for a walk

• get Starbucks

A conservatorship is meant for people with mental health issues or decaying health. Most likely grandparents or people with actual dementia etc. They are meant for people who literally cannot take care of themselves. If she is so unwell that she isn’t mentally capable of doing anything for herself, why is she still working? Since the conservatorship began 12 years ago she has:

• released 4 albums

• done 3 worldwide tours

• did a FOUR-year Vegas residency

• was a full time judge on X-Factor

• released multiple perfumes and a lingerie line

• made $138 MILLION DOLLARS or so A YEAR

In January of last year, Britney was placed in a mental health facility for 3 months after being seen driving her car to In-N-Out with her boyfriend without permission and for refusing to take the sedating medications her father has doctors prescribing her to keep her under control. She testified to a judge in documents that she was held there against her will by her father. After it was leaked to the press that she was there against her will, the Free Britney movement picked up speed causing a judge to open an investigation into the impact and legality her conservatorship has on her life. Britney’s mother Lynn was also liking and commenting on Free Britney posts saying she agrees that Britney is trapped by her father. Britney’s team had Twitter disable the Free Britney hashtag, and regularly threatens any celebrity that speaks out using the hashtag with a lawsuit if they don’t remove their support for the movement. She was seen shortly after leaving a hotel thru the front door (99% of celebrities park underground to avoid paparazzi unless they WANT to be photographed) stumbling while carrying her shoes, and out of it. Her team used that moment to justify to the public that she needs this conservatorship. She is not allowed to have any say in the hiring or firing of anyone on her team. Every year she pays $1.1 million dollars in fees for the conservatorship to continue, including paying her father a solid $100k+ salary and paying a lawyer she isn’t allowed to choose. She is allowed an allowance of around $1,500 a week for bills, shopping and essentials. Her net worth is $250 million.

So, when everyone sees her on Instagram walking up and down her hallways like it’s a fashion show. That’s all she is allowed to do. She has NEVER had control over her life. I don’t care if you personally like her or her music, NO ONE DESERVES THIS. All this woman wants is to see her children, make the music she wants to make, and go get a frappuccino in her car. She is a light of sunshine in this world, and we must protect her at all costs. So please, do not make fun of her, support the Free Britney movement, and send good vibes her way. She has a court date this month to review the conservatorship and decide if it is abusive or will continue to be in place. There are so many details to this that i left out that would make this post entirely much longer than it is, but a simple search will show you what else is out there. Spread this far and wide. ❤️ Free Britney

THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO ME IN 2020

BNECGHLOE BECHLOE KISS [from twitter]

[makesgoodchoices]

My blog is a private thing that is open to everyone in the world except to the people I know in real life.

[makesgoodchoices]

The amount of hate I’ve gotten on twitter for this post is scary, alarming, and just sad... we need to be better humans! If I’m missing something, I’d love to chat about it kindly ❤️

Feel free to “cancel” me for my opinion

Thoughts below includes my rant on the Jodie Comer situation and a hope to just be better humans.

I created my Twitter account to be able to express my love of Killing Eve and Jodie Comer with fellow stans like myself who needed an outlet to do so. It’s taken me awhile to say my opinion because I was so scared of getting crucified for my opinion or “canceled” when... I have absolutely nothing to lose. Like Jodie, you do not know me personally. All this week I’ve seen nothing but hate spewed on my feed about a person we don’t know. A person who many of us “admire” and a person who only two days before, we were singing the praises of for her incredible reading of the Vita Sackville-West poem. I’ve seen nothing but “you can’t be a member of the LGBTQ community and support her..” but, why is that exactly? What did she do to personally attack the LGBTQ community? She’s been supportive when she didn’t have to.

Here’s what I know to be factual: My grandfather, who lives two doors down, was just diagnosed with stage 4 prostate and bone cancer. That’s an actual fact.

Here’s what we know to be factual about the Jodie situation: Absolutely nothing. Other than the fact that everyone was very quick to judge, be hateful, and start wishing her ill will. And for what reason? The only “fact” we have is that yes, she’s probably dating someone. And he maybe follows Trump on Instagram, okay. And? He IS the President of the USA, whether we all like it or not, I know SO many people who follow him just because he IS the president AND/or to see his antics.

I grew up in a Republican household and here in the USA, you have to register to vote when you are 17 years old. Do you know what I knew about politics at 17? Absolutely nothing. Like most kids, we register as what our parents are without really knowing the full weight of what that means. If someone wanted my full name and DOB, you’ll see that I’m in fact, yup... scum of the earth, a registered republican. Have I voted republican? Nope. I sure haven’t. Do I believe in anything Trump stands for? Nope. I sure don’t.

Does this make me a racist or a homophobe? I definitely don’t believe it does especially since I’m a member of the LGBQT community (I’m sure some of you will tell me otherwise). My parents are Republicans and here’s another shocking fact, they aren’t racist or homophobes either. I’ve always tried to live my life as a good kind person and I think we need to be doing more of that and less “canceling”.

2020 has been an absolute shit show and has proven this: life is short. Look at beloved Naya. I don’t want to spend it spewing hate. We need to do better. We need to be better.

Love and kindness always,

X

nahhh not at all, my whole fam on both sides are republican so i know firsthand how complicated these dynamics are. but your post states that we don’t have any facts, when we actually have /quite/ a few facts even beyond the registration itself, (which imo is the most fundamental fact of them all in this sitch). fully agree that behaviors have been vile/unproductive, but also am alarmed at how quickly people are willing to say there’s no evidence when there really really really is

Okay. Again. The “evidence” is he is a registered republican. So what if he is? There’s also lots of evidence that he’s liked gay rights and anti racism articles on LinkedIn... not sure your point. She’s her own person with her own thoughts. We’ve made too much headway with women’s rights for her to be stifled by being lumped in with her supposed boyfriend and his supposed views.

[makesgoodchoices]

babe, the guy is a registered republican beyond a shadow of a doubt

And? Are all republicans scum of the earth? Is this the worst thing going on in life? Please read my previous post for my thoughts on this. Also: look up “The Lincoln Project” - it’s a group of republicans who are trying to prevent the reelection of Trump and do not believe in his policies.

**Would like to add in since I’ve been called a liar multiple times for this that laws/rules for registering to vote are different in each state. IF you choose to exercise your right to vote as an American, (which you should if you can because voting is so important), you do have to register. In my state, because I was turning 18 just a few days before the election I had to register in advance to prove that I’d be 18 by the election. This varies from state to state. Check out your states election site to see what your specific restrictions/eligibility may be! In my state, you can actually register at 16, but can’t vote until 18. Also, because I’ve been called out for this as well, technically, no - you do not have to register with a party.. however! If you are “unaffiliated” you cannot vote in primary elections. Just wanted to clear that up :)**

Bringing this back for many reasons.

Okay... the Twitter Killing Eve fandom is like... next level, tear each other down, and are quite frankly mean and a bit scary. And my god they are RUTHLESS to Jodie.. it’s no wonder she deleted her Twitter account. They are just mean for no reason. I prefer to stay here with my tumblr fam. Seems like a much nicer, safer place.

*Would like to say nothing in particular happened, this has just been my observation. For example, the Variety Q&A came out, but then they took it down and someone had leaked it, but Twitter went CRAZY... banning everyone that posted anything related, but less than 24-hours-later, everyone was posting. It’s very bipolar.*
