joey is skinny dipping

your typical asian nerd who took songwriting classes as an electives and now thinks they're all that smh 

[iammarriedtothemusic]

✨ About Me ✨

i say i’m channeling sabrina carpenter energy just so i can explain why i pop in here and proceed to disappear for a year and look cool while doing it because sabrina is my mama and she’s cool af  ✨

I’m Joey, or at least, that’s what you can call me! (they/them) 

I’m currently in pre-law which explains why I’m not that active

I’m usually studying 24/7 but when I have a spare time, I read fiction books or listen to pop music to keep my mind sane. 

I have a wide variety of favorite artists and music styles but for the indefinite future, I am mostly posting about Sabrina Carpenter, my light and joy.

To explain my account description: basically I was forced to take an elective back in high school and at that time, my school was offering songwriting classes. I don’t think they offer this anymore but in college, I saw it as an elective and took it for fun. I got both As (technically) on the subject so I think I deserve a little bit of bragging rights. I do not claim to be an expert. 

Please interact if: you like Sabrina Carpenter <3 (or have similar tastes in music)

Sabrina Carpenter is Immaculate

Friendly reminder that Sabrina Carpenter had been with Hollywood Records since 2014, she literally got little to no promotions and yet she managed to get her songs out there and build a strong and steady and large fanbase. Got awards and recognition and concerts and tours. Friendly reminder that when she signed with Island last year, Island Records had a dispute over leadership. Hence, all artists under Island had to rely on themselves if they wanted to release something because the company wouldn’t promote them until they settle on a president, which explains why the artists under there weren’t active in 2021. Friendly reminder that despite of that, despite of not getting half the promo Olivia Rodrigo got (i’m mentioning her name because who fucking cares, this is my post), she manages to stay relevant and have her name out there. Imagine if she had just as much promo as your fave. Also, forgot to mention that she was the one who did most of the work getting Skinny Dipping out there, Sabrina Carpenter is a fucking business woman, thank you.

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t a flop, she’s underrated and severely underpromoted. It’s not her fault you don’t know her, she has a large platform and she’s been in the industry long enough that if she says she’s going on a tour, it will sold out. It always does. I literally went to another fucking country because mine wasn’t on the list of places she’s touring in, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who did. Her concerts are jam-packed and filled with people screaming. So no, she doesn’t have to thank the person who wrote the song that was the catalyst of her getting slut-shamed and hated by people with misogyny issues. She doesn’t need to thank the person that stayed silent as she got death threats after death threats, even today.

She’s been getting interviews now because Island finally got their shit together and got a fucking president. Her team is finally doing their jobs now, so if anything, I’m going to thank her fucking team. I’m going to thank Sabrina Carpenter for pushing herself out there even when she didn’t have a big corporate to back her up. 

The day I stop bitching about that fucking drama is the day you all stop stalking her like jobless losers and mentioning Olivia’s fucking name on her searches, literally just stream your fave you weirdos.

[faerieemetal]

no but can we talk about this cause what the fuck?? these toxic ass livie stans do not know how to support their fave without having sabrina’s name in their mouth. it’s been a year and they’re still talking shit like aren’t you bored yet?? at this point i become more and more convinced that the main reason olivia’s career skyrocketed was because she had sabrina’s name in her own mouth and her fans attacked sabrina when she didn’t do shit to olivia or her fans. i’m very sure olivia knows that if her content was no longer based on dragging sabrina into her boyfriend issues and insecurities and her fans being obsessed weirdos, she wouldn’t be getting much attention as she would’ve if she just left sabrina out of it and maybe that’s why she said nothing when her fans attacked sabrina. olivia is a talented girl and has the potential to be a great music artist if she really wanted to but it’s been a year and she’s still riding off of sabrina, especially the hate she’s been getting since “driver’s license” came out. this is gonna sound petty as fuck but at this point i don’t give a shit. olivia should be the one thanking sabrina because like i said, it’s been a year and she’s been riding off her and the hate her weirdo stans send her. go argue with your mom, unpack that internalized misogyny and shut the fuck up.

like they’re so obsessed with sabrina it’s giving fan behavior.

[iammarriedtothemusic]

No ‘cause fr they’re so obsessed with her I really wish she’s not reading any of her notifications. Forget about Twitter, her TikTok comment section is scary as fuck with so many people slutshaming and wishing her dead I’m so amazed because Sabrina honestly handled it all so well but at the same time it’s frustrating ‘cause no one deserves that.

I was honestly flabbergasted earlier when I was scrolling for updates to see the livies already there like the fuck I swear at this point they’re deliberately going through her searches. IDC if people think I’m exaggerating but her fandom is honestly one if not the most toxic fandom I’ve come across in a while, and I’m in the K-Pop fucking community. I really don’t like how Liv handled the situation at all, it was just the wrong move? It was just so shady and sus and maybe it’s because I’ve been a carpenter for a while now but it pains me how that drama vilified Sabrina, like she’s literally one of the most unproblematic celebrities ever. People really just saw the chance to be misogynistic and ran away with it. 

[faerieemetal]

what makes me laugh is that the one with the selena icon seems to talk about her A LOT unprovoked and miss beth here actually posted her top spotify artists and sabrina was #4 and it’s so funny watching her trying to claim she only streamed her music for a few weeks. either way you streamed her music enough for her to be #4 but olivia releases dl and sabrina releases skin and suddenly she’s a flop? and skin was written way before dl was a thing and sabrina explained that it was about different situations throughout the year but the livies just want a reason to be toxic bitches with a weird obsession.

[iammarriedtothemusic]

No 'cause same they would say who cares under updates about Sab but you go to their recent tweets and see how much they tweet about her like?? i actually saw that one holder of the Sel icon account to remember them, they're literally all under tweets about Sab I'm just amused. People really hating on Sab's songs when she puts out quality bops. Yes, that too!! I am so tired of livies thinking the world revolves around Liv. Sabrina never explicitly mentioned who the song was about but it would make more sense to assume that the chorus was hinted towards the time she was dating Griffin 'cause she got a lot of hate for dating him. She honestly went through a lot from livies and that alone prior to skin. TBH if they listen to the song without that stupid drama in mind, it's a bop. Personally skin was released at a time when I was in a very bad place and it was just the world to me. I kind of hate how that drama sort of ruined that song for me :((

[iammarriedtothemusic]

yeah… i don’t think i’ll be able to support olivia ever after what happened this last year. i was a sabrina stan before and will continue to be one, i’ve discovered josh’s music and adore his music now and beyond olivia’s music not being my taste, she just showed in the last year an utter disregard for sab and josh and the negative impact on their lives…

sorry i said what i said but i cannot support someone who a) tears down other women b) has such a blatant disregard for the aftermath of her music (not that she shouldn’t talk about what she wants to talk about, but hello damage control???)

Hi, anon! I am so sorry for the late reply, I was preparing my stuff for law school and things got hectic as of late but thank you for this ask! I agree with everything you said and I hope you won't mind me going into a kind of sort of rant in the next few sentences!! LOL

Honestly, I came from having lukewarm feelings about Olivia to just not straight up liking her, just for the way she handled the drama. I am also so tired of how her fans are babying her and saying that whatever she says won’t change anything and I’m like that’s not the point?? The point is to show that she actually fucking cares, which she didn’t show at all  😭😭 Also, even if we go with that argument and disregard "controlling" her fans, what about her friends who posted slutshaming/shady tweets about Sabrina? I heard this from a friend but her dad also apparently liked slutshaming tweets about Sabrina although I am unsure about that one but still, if she couldn't take the time to say anything to her fanbase maybe tell her friends to stop shading Sab and fueling the drama further?

They also bring up Selena's situation where Sel addressed her fans so many times to not send anyone hate and people hate on HB anyway and I'm like but notice how no one is blaming Selena Gomez for it? Because she actually took the time to "control" her fans, at that point, anything her fans do is out of her hands. But Olivia never took that time, not even once. I am not counting that fucking magazine interview because that was honestly so half-assed and performative I pretty much lost my respect for her. I'm sure she's a great singer songwriter or whatever, I'm personally not a fan of driver's license and I didn't bother listening to her other songs so IDK but just the way she handled everything left me uninterested about everything else.

Also, there's this thing Joshua said in a recent interview that artists are in some way too are responsible on how the conversations around their art goes and I remember it being quoted on a tweet and so many livies going wild. Like it's true tho, I think anyone with a platform is in a way responsible to how their audience reacts to the things they put out-- I mean small youtubers can do it so why can't Olivia?

And then there's what Louis said about the fandom being reflective of the artist and I had never fucking agreed more, IDK if it's just me but everything makes so much sense whenever I interact with someone on stan community and find out their fandoms LOL

Anyway, I think what I'm most angry about the drama is that Sab honestly had so many plans for 2021 but she had to take a raincheck because those obsessed weirdos would make it about that fucking drama. Josh too, he had to let the drama die down a bit because people were taking it too far-- I remember that one tweet about him in the hospital and all those livies tweeting he should've been dead. Let's not even talk about the SA and the coming out, at that point, even bigger figures where chiding in that it's impossible to say that Olivia didn't know how blew out of proportion everything was. The internet literally witchhunted Sab and Josh for a solid year (and even now TBH) and she stood there and did absolutely nothing. So yeah, I don't really blame you for not liking or supporting her, I don't really either.

I just hope her fans stops sending me hate anons at this point, the slurs are getting kind of old. Also forgot to add that everything you said just resonated with me so well that's my exact feelings thanks for the vindication op ily xx

Skinny Dipping is a Bop

I’m late to the Skinny Dipping party by two weeks or so but I do want to share my two cents about it because apparently, majority of the haters still can’t leave Sabrina alone. 

First off, the “spoken verses” were totally intentional. It’s not for everybody and I respect that but calling the song flop because of it is just bad understanding of music on your part.

Second, it was meant to sound like that because if you actually listen to the lyrics- it’s meeting an ex. It was meant to be awkward and all over the place because she was recalling that awkward encounter with her ex. It gets progressively more into with the tune as she comes into terms with the arguments on the garage and all that. It was genius.

Third, I don’t know how you all can just point fingers at this song and call it toxic and dragging a woman down and straight up hating it when it’s literally a song about letting go, moving on, and acceptance- stop dragging Sabrina into another drama OMG get a hobby.

Before anyone sends me anything, yes- she’s still getting hate over this. Almost everyone at TikTok said this is a bad song and every single day since I streamed the MV on Youtube, there will always be comments from all these people comparing her to Olivia, saying it’s a bad song, saying bad things about Sabrina, or just downright calling the song a flop.

If your basis of flop is chart performance I honestly feel sorry for you (SD actually did great, and you have to take note that Islands didn’t promote the song all too well) because you have to have all these big companies telling you what’s good music or not. Decide for yourself.

I get it if you don’t like the song but if you don’t have anything nice to say, maybe just stream your fave’s MV and leave Sabrina Carpenter alone? Thanks, that’d be awesome!

ps - i did want to get this out about a week since skinny dipping came out because if you’re streaming the mv as religiously as i still does, you’d see every single day that there’s new comments bringing up other names, bashing sabrina or the song. and i get that, you can not like every single music out there, that’s fine. what’s not fine is baselessly criticizing the song because of your internalized misogyny and false sense of heroism that this girl //hurt// your fave when that couldn’t be more untrue. what’s not fine is you totally disregarding the hard work and efforts poured into making the song- sabrina poured her heart on that song just to jump on the hate bandwagon and if you don’t appreciate that, again, fine, but making a video about hating it or a wholeass hate comment is a whole new level of clownery. 

[iammarriedtothemusic]

Reblogging this because I love flexing my mastery of actually fucking listening to a song objectively and not putting it in a frame of a certain drama to fit a certain narrative :))) long story short, I was right, Jimmy understood the assignment and Skinny Dipping is a motherfucking bop.

<< Joshua Bassett on Zach Sang Interview >>

[asfairaseros]

really beautiful interview that discusses trauma and healing and learning to be kind to others and yourself! I didn't go looking for it bc I honestly like staying pretty distant from celebs?? But it got recommended so I started listening and was hooked and 20 min in I'm crying and laughing until the end. Both Joshua and Zach (the interview) seem like wonderful people

[iammarriedtothemusic]

i didn't watch the video intentionally too! i honestly picked it out as something to play along in the background as i study but i ended up watching the entire thing and just having a wonderful time?? the interview is so beautiful and they created such a safe space i would 100% recommend it to anyone, fan or not.

trigger warnings for anyone else reading this if you're interested to watch tho, 'cause the topics they discuss are very heavy but absolutely necessary 💛

[fastnights]

my girl is coming

[omnidudes-deactivated20220117]

There is something seriously wrong with her fans idk

[iammarriedtothemusic]

the fact that josh has seen some of those tweets, and probably more (because who knows what those assholes sent in his DMs) makes me want to throw up, and her fans are telling us to move the fuck on lmao 🙄🙄

[iammarriedtothemusic]

[iammarriedtothemusic]

And before anyone send those typical get a life asks again, I just want to clarify that I am not actively seeking out these tweets. Believe it or not, you can easily find tweets like this and worst ones which I've posted last year by merely looking through posts about Sabrina. The only thing that's hard is reading through this negativity but it isn't actually hard finding this stuff itself because istg that fandom is literally breathing down her neck, it'll only take you like two seconds to see a 12 year-old livie under posts about Sab, they're probably more updated about her than I am right now tbh
