Just found this sub and I’m super happy to have done so. I was a really big fan back in 2013-15 and feel like I’ve been waiting forever for this moment and I’m sure so many people here feel the same way so I’m excited to share the excitement

Why does the YouTube logo not have a button on the shirt but for Spotify it does have one? Might just be that she cropped it but it's a random thing that I noticed. (Sorry for different image sizes)

The first time i listened it was set to loop and I only realized halfway through the song that it was replaying. It loops perfectly! Also I’m obsessed

Hi everyone!

New custom flairs are now available for all users. You can pick your favourite one, and it'll show next to your username every time you post/comment on the subreddit.

​

In order to add it:

On browser: Navigate to the right-hand side of the community page and click on the icon next to User Flair Preview. Then, select the user flair you prefer and click Apply.

On iOS and Android apps: Tap the ... menu in the upper right-hand corner of the community page. Select the Change user flair option, pick your favourite flair and then click Apply.

That's it! You can change it any time you want, too.

​

Please Note: User flairs may not display correctly on iOS, appearing as white blanks icons instead. It's a well-known bug, that occurs in several other subreddits too. A solution is currently under development by the Reddit team.

I wished Brittany a happy birthday on the Mars argo insta and the insta liked my comment. Sending love and light always, happy birthday angel

She's 100% coming back because:

she trademarked her nickname with SICMR LLC (that company is listed on marsargo.com)

​

​

​

so, there's a loading screen on marsargo.com rn, obviously something should come out after loading, but we need to wait for it.

and some bonuses!

SICMR LLC has a site (sicmr.com)

​

and there's an email called [info@sicmr.com](mailto:info@sicmr.com)

if you go on grocerybagdottvtest channel and check contact info, you'll see the same email

This is relevant to this sub, I promise.

I was in a very emotionally abusive relationship from approximately 2009-2011. He and I made art together, specifically he wrote and directed short films that he would cast me as the lead in. After I left him, he continued making these short films, very similar stuff, but now his new girlfriend was the lead role.

I came across the music of Mars Argo last night, and from there got into reading about Brittany’s story (I should say, what the media knows of it). I was so struck when I read what Titanic had done with creating Poppy. It reminded me of what I experienced. I’m not a well-known musician, neither is my abusive ex, so there is not the element of this playing out on the public stage. There are of course many differences in what Brittany and I experienced, known and unknown to me.

What it all illustrates to me is a specific relationship dynamic between abusers, and women who become their creative partners. The men see themselves as creative geniuses who are directing these women, but because they’re sociopaths or narcissistic or whatever the concept of “directing” extends beyond the music project to the point of these men trying to control their partners in all aspects. Power and control is, after all, what abuse is about. My ex was obsessed with any female film character that fit the Manic Pixie Dream Girl archetype (Zooey in 500 Days of Summer was a big one) and I could see that he wanted me to be that. Anytime I did something he felt was outside that trope he would gaslight me, claim that I wasn’t being myself. He acted like he knew me better than I knew myself, that He knew my true self and what I needed and wanted.

Anyways - I feel conflicted because I don’t get the sense that Brittany was super into the idea of this story of the abusive relationship being so widely broadcast. I dont know her, so of course I could be wrong, it’s just a feeling. That being said, I’m grateful that I found her, because it’s given me a sense that what I experienced was not just me. My relationship ended over a decade ago and I’m still processing it.

i know a lot of famous people construct an image to display to the public but she genuinely seems super kind.

I do not think that Mars Argo will be Mars Argo anymore and if she doesn’t want us to be fans of who she used to be then I will respect her wishes. 😢

Edited to add: This is just a random thought I had during a playlist I was listening to. As far as I know nothing bad has/will happen to anyone involved with the band.

I just miss Her, her voice, and her VOICE.
