the foreword in TAFWVG where she mentions being tormented by spirits in her childhood always fascinated and bewildered me. Has she ever brought that up anywhere else? I somewhat suspect she fabricated it for dramatic effect. It wouldn't be out of character.

I'm usually not one to comment on other people's looks, seeing her in Marc's recent post however… There's no way the Asylum musical will ever happen with EA starring as the teenage main character and she won't accept anyone else in that role.

I just discovered her stuff, I found "nothing" here on Tumblr and it has been so fucking weird looking at what happend to this woman. I read the master post of all the fucked shit she did and fuck me that's sad. Her art is great. The book is superb, I bought a used first edition hardcover.

It's been really weird to stumble across the corpse of a fandom that used to be. Like the remenants of a party that you arrived for too late. Wish I could have been here when it was good.

Why do you people still think she crafted everything she used? The costumes were made by Vecona. She left in 2008, but I'm pretty sure EA never stopped using the costumes… And Vecona is still making things where as EA stopped. It makes me think that EA was just a fake and the only thing she actually made was the book. I really doubt she wrote half the lyrics she did, or the music for that matter.

It's sad. The amount of work she put into crafting countless stage props from 2008 tours, to several sets of costumes, to album shoots, graphics and fun looking websites. Even unrelated small crafty stuff from Willow Tech House and perfumes/cosmetics. The music, ofc. And then… reselling Taobao tier shit. Selling fucking letters and numbers as NFTs. And then the last "creative" thing in her career was typing prompts into AI programs. Fuck this I'm bitter about how it all ends.

Retiring from normal shows was one of her worst decisions. It's been 10 years since "Asyloom on West End in 2014!!!" thing. You would think, if EA craves staging her own musical so much, she would try to fulfill this dream even just partly instead of waiting next 20 years for something that will never happen. She should've organized Asylum Experience type tour, just INDOORS. And longer than 30mins. And just add ANY stage props besides cage bars. I'm sure that would be a hit.

Does anyone else have the feeling that it’s the same 5-10 confessors who keep sending messages to this blog and keep the fandom alive?

I wonder what Emilie thinks of her transgender fans. I’m female to male and saw Emilie as a “female”. It would be interesting to meet her again as my true self

deep down i'm still chuckling at those who were fooled by her ai art, thinking it was her own hands, and then defending her. "of course this was made by her! fake fan!! you just hate women!" i hope those people have become more literate to ai images and tomfoolery. i will happily continue to call it out EA if she (or anyone else ) ever bothered to try to trick us again lol. -with love, an actual artist that uses their two hands instead of a prompter.

I was thinking and it seems to me that she wasn’t much of a virtuoso with violin. I think that she wrote face the wall as a token instrumental music to play live to prove she’s a great composer and master. Yes we also got Unlaced part of the album but all of the music is heavy edited with all the multi track and drums, she was placing her bets on Face the wall only as it’s the only “raw” electric violin piece. She’s a great performer but she either never loved heavy violin that much or she wasn’t sure if she could pull off super speedy shredding live OR she didn’t know how to write single track captivating electric violin piece. I love her violins but she has surprisingly little of them considering she presented herself as a violinist singer

The only version of her book I've read is the (nearly identical to the first edition) second edition from 2010 or so, the big hefty hardcover with the gorgeous illustrations and layout designs and all, and it is very near and dear to my heart. I feel like now I'm always hearing people complain about things from tafwvg that make me go "I don't fucking remember that" and then it turns out it's from one of the shitmillion later revisions she has published. I think one very solid issue one could take with EA, in many areas, is that she simply doesn't know when to say when or leave well enough alone, whether in petty internet arguments or in her work. IMHO, Opheliac and tafwvg (at least the early versions) are both perfect works of art, and together (along with the EPs and such from that era, like 4 oclock) create a stunning magnum opus. FLAG, and everything that has come after, has only been downhill. And it is absolutely heartbreaking to see her constantly overpolishing everything until she's worn a hole right through the heart of it.

She brainwashed me into liking tea

I forget about her for months and then come back. I do still care about her and enjoy her music in small doses sometimes and wonder if she's okay and if she's really working on something or not? Not demanding anything but I care still a little. She's part of my teenaged hood and young adult hood forever.

If anyone wants an artist recommendation similar to Emilie, I recommend Birdeatsbaby.

As far as I'm aware, they aren't problematic, and they're still making music. And some of it (Feast of Hammers, the album) just gives me Emilie vibes tbh.

I just miss her. Even just her posting on ig. I miss her Darjeeling updates and her art projects and her tarot check ins. I really wish the whole ai thing never happened. It all just makes me sad. When she shows up in Marc's ig stories, it at least makes me happy to know she's ok. But the whole thing is just so sad to me.

I'm kinda glad the height of her career was in the 00s and not today��…. She would have gotten cancelled for so much shit she did back in the day if she did it now, completely regardless of whether it was justified or not. I mean, the forum days were bad but can you IMAGINE if we had to live through ea tiktok drama

She must be hopping mad that the only place she still holds any relevance whatsoever is this confession blog.
