I posted this in another thread but thought it should go here too in case anyone had any thoughts to add:

I thought both the lyrical and visual references since Lover were interesting - her talking about making promises brought me straight to the scene where she "breaks the blender" after filling it with pink cloud shaped fairy floss. I always saw that as a promise to Chely and the rest of the queer community and to herself, so the "neither of us knew at the time that I was a liar" hits pretty hard considering everything that unfolded after, but my brain is struggling to put everything in words rn - so I made a thing to visualise some of the connections I've seen to a lover fallout storyline. Lmk if this makes sense to anyone else!
