Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i think one of the biggest misconceptions about the story narrated in preacher’s daughter is that isaiah cannibalizes ethel as an act of love.

there is nothing romantic about it. isaiah is sadistic and manipulative, and ethel falls right into his trap. the warm and idyllic love describe in “thoroughfare” is nothing but ethel’s romanticization of her own abduction.

isaiah knows how to play this game very well. he’s practiced. he knows exactly what he is he doing and he picks ethel because she is vulnerable, alone and needs a place to stay, someone to trust. and in fact, she does trust him.

ethel feels bliss in this reality he offers her because it’s been so long since she last felt a sentiment even remotely similar to love. he tells her to be happy and grateful, so she is. (“I'm happier here 'cause he told me I should be”)

he has done this plenty of times. hayden basically confirms it in the demo of “strangers”, when she says “when you chewed me up and shit me out like every bitch you’re done with”. his plan was always to kill ethel. he drugged her and pimped her and when she was starting to become hard to handle, he killed her and ate her.

there was nothing loving about isaiah eating ethel.

he ate her because he was hungry.

┃preacher’s daughter - ethel cain

i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

Elevator scene:

i HATE how tiktok is reducing ethel cain and preachers daughter to cannibalism. preachers daughter dissects real issues of religious trauma, inter generational trauma, abandonment, etc etc - cannibalism is not the main aspect of the album, nor is it that of ethel’s story.

stop clinging on to cannibalism as a metaphor for love when there are so many other aspects of hayden’s lyricism and art that are so much more complex and profound.

I was raised atheist, but I had random exposure to a bunch of insane baptists (grandparents), I still do not understand Christianity in the slightest.

Also, I got banned from Sunday School.

I was raised protestant, and I have actually never met a catholic person in real life. Probably seen them on the street while travelling, but never had an actual conversation with one. Most of what I know about them is that they got custody of all the cool art in the divorce.

Fav ethel song

I keep seeing people call the Trump administration shit like “schizophrenic” and “psychotic” and can we fucking not do this please???? schizophrenics and people with psychosis have a biological and neurological basis for their behavior and beliefs. there is no biological basis for being racist and sexist and a monster. schizophrenics and ppl with psychosis are innocent. you can’t beat bigotry with more bigotry

Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You

This album is going to remind me of someone ❦︎

I did my best to try and find the rest of this interview, and I did find some information, but not the whole thing.

This interview was conducted by Lonn M. Friend, RIP Magazine's Editor In Chief, supposedly in August of 1991 when Crue was in England for Monsters of Rock. I found this out by sourcing the origin of the photo you posted, which was by this fan blog online. (While the name is correct due to cross referencing, I'm not entirely sure about the dates. It's an unreliable source.)

I tried to go through RIP Magazine's website to see if they have a historical catalog of their old releases like Creem or Rock Scene does, but all they have on their page is merch. You can find that here.

I'd likely have to locate a copy for sale on something like Ebay.

Which I did.

It's the February 1992 release featuring Skid Row, Nirvana, Metallica, Crue and more. You can see the title "Mick Mars: The Most Popular Unpopular Guy In Rock." on the index page, on the third row on the third page photographed in the listing.

You can find that Ebay listing here. It's $21.99 + shipping.

Another Mick Interview??

Found this the other day, unfortunately i don’t have the rest of this interview (which i so desperately want!!), but take what i have as consolation!

just a couple of observations, i like how the interviewer was like “micks such a chill guy, so nonviolent and just cool,” and then it cuts to mick threatening to beat up a frisbee player. plus, micks hotel room being the cleanest out of all of theirs just makes sense to me. like that’s so on brand for him!

oh! and… stinky trousers?? what’s that supposed to mean?? (also peep mick once again trashing rehabs just like he did in the book. if i can guess what else he was going to say, after it cuts off ofc, he was probably gonna get a hit in at therapists as well! he’s so averse to the whole rehab and therapy thing.) finally, bonus points for mick casually over exaggerating how his body looked in the mid-eighties.
