    I forgave her when I realized she is a method actress. Whenever she becomes an entirely different person for a period of time, it’s simply what she’s always done. She’s an artist, she lives & breathes & becomes whatever role she’s currently in. She’s not confused or having an identity crisis, she is doing what millions of girls would love to do if we had enough time & money & freedom to experiment so wildly with our appearance & identity.

    Most kids have to muddle through public School being told that if we do everything we’re told, then all our dreams will come true and we’ll be successful. Only to discover long after graduation that it was all a lie, all we can do is get a job to eke out survival, our hopes & dreams never see the light of day.

    Now imagine being Ariana grande, deciding at age four you want to be a singer dancer and actress and by the age of eight you’re starring in the lead role of a local community theater play, and by age 13 you’re on Broadway, and through your teenage years you’re starring on an international cable tv show and then you become a pop star and the world can’t get enough of you. Ariana casually mentioned once that she’s literally a witch, and her brother has mentioned their family is into cannibalism, except for Ariana, because she’s vegan, 🤔 so yeah there’s a wild rabbit hole we could go down.

    Please excuse my way-too-many-paragraphs in response to this lighthearted meme. I’m going through some stuff right now.

        And I just learned through more rabbit hole stuff that Ariana’s mom is CEO of a company that makes gadgets for the Navy so Ariana was born into wealth, and wealth (+ talent + excitement about one’s passion & art) certainly helped catapult Ariana to world goddess status. Plus apparently witchcraft maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️

        Here are some fun links to expound on some things I said ☺️

        The one where she says she’s a literal witch, time stamp 27:13 https://youtu.be/dEp1T8GKWaI but you won’t find it satisfying because she included no context and she did not explain anything. Her interview goes on for a total of 90 minutes and she never really says much of anything, non-stop talking without saying much of anything at all. you know how celebrities are.

        Okay I’m tired now. it took me forever to find that timestamp, and I just worked a full day at work and have to work again all day tomorrow so 😴

        Oh one more thing before I 😴, regarding being a method actress, one of her idols is Jim Carrey, he is a method actor too. That’s all I’ve got but just observe her over the years in all of her projects, she is a method actress. There are mixed opinions regarding whether or not method acting is superior to normal acting, some people say method acting is lazy because it’s a method some actors use when they’d rather not / cannot snap in & out of character, they stay in the character for months even in their daily & personal lives which is kinda weird. But some people admire that strategy because they consider it dedication to the art. Whatever.

        The cannibal quote from her brother, I’m sure you could find it as easily as I could, I’ll find it next time, but it also reminds me she said once if she could have lunch with any person living or dead, she sweetly said “Jeffrey Dahmer.”

      I can’t excuse it, in fact I need more information about this, let’s pick back up around the witch part and expand from there
