it's a solo song, and it's only for the brave

25. She/her. Camila, Lauren, Taylor, Harry, Louis, and the USWNT. Also interested in PR, closeting, and the music industry. Sometimes I do lyrical analysis. Oh, and I follow from @life-love-literature. 🦄🐉

Hello, can you please analysis the performance at the VMAs? Lot to unpack imo.

I think too much time has gone by for this to still be relevant lol (my fault)

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Hello ! Are you still here? Hope you are well. Would love to see your analysis of C’s album, cxoxo. Thanks

Yeahhh based on my previous ask, I wouldn't count on a C,XOXO analysis since I haven't been in the right headspace for it. But hey, if I do lose my job, suddenly I'll have a lot more free time to work on it.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Hey! How are you? Are you okay?

Honestly, no. The past 9 months or so have been hell on earth since I lost my best friend, my home, and my job is probably next (I'm a U.S. federal employee in Trump's America). I know that sounds intense but there's really no need to worry, since things are a lot better than they were a few months ago. I'll try and get to everyone's asks over the next week or two. Thanks for checking in!

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Do you think something bad will happen at the VMAS?

I think that day will be chaotic since the triangle will be there but I hope it is only a small interaction and as Camila enters she will go to MIAMI

The only good thing for now is that we will have more music from Camila

Why Lauren keeps making appearances with Sasha I don't understand Lauren what she wants to achieve beyond that one talks about the chick but I don't understand her body language or it seems like Lauren is flirtatious by nature but I guess she sets her limits

Sometimes I think it would be easier if her team already kept her away from the Mendes shit and they started rumors with another guy. I just think it doesn't help Camila any more to talk about her and her shitty narratives that only too many assholes believe.

I dare say that Camila regrets Shawn but you don't have to be too stupid or Camila to be stupid so that she doesn't see how he used her and doesn't look honest even if he tries.

I wouldn't say anything "bad" necessarily, just something like you said (a minor interaction, maybe Camila/Shawn/Sabrina pose for a photo if they're feeling chaotic). And I 100% agree with your last point, Shawn may have been a good friend to Camila at first but definitely not from 2019 on. I mean, for fuck's sake, remember when he made his "girlfriend" getting body-shamed about HIM and how it "inspired" him??

Also didn't Lauren break up with Sasha? I don't know, I genuinely don't follow her like that anymore.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

One moment I’m thinking that Camila might go independant and come out soon, I felt like she made some moves to get there

And then I don’t get why or how she accepts this mess with Sabrina and Shawn

I get that it makes ppl talk and it’s somehow good for her album but I feel like she is way too deep in the showbiz and she is nowhere near the girl we all liked from before

Yeah. That's why I don't much care to figure out her motives and just try and enjoy the music instead (though that hasn't been as easy for me with C,XOXO). VMAs should be interesting, though.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Do you think Shawmila's story is over?

Do you think there will be a reunion at the upcoming VMAs or are they keeping it as speculation?

I don't understand how Camila can continue in this industry trap that is shit at the end of the day.

I am once again linking this ask but with some context tailored to your question: I wouldn't be surprised if there was a public VMAs interaction for the cameras, but doubt it'll come to much more than that.

Hello. Look at this video, it’s my first time seeing it, look at C’s body and face she gets so tensed when he kisses her lmfao. ShE LoVes HiM lmfao, my ass.

extremely forced, as all their "romantic" interactions are

[mazes-and-the-madness]

hello fellow CSs, You know why industry keeps on doing stupid shit like this because people are stupid they always fall for it.

It’s annoying.

This who Sabrina thing was planned no way it just happened lol, gtfoh.

I for one don’t believe for a second that Shawmila was real, so people saying that June gloom is for him lol okay.

Some lines could be about him because pr bleeds into songs but nah, C and S were never romantically involved in reality and I don’t have to explain why.

Hope this whole fiasco finally puts Shawmila to rest for good because I can’t take it anymore.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Hi, This whole thing reeks of PR. We all know shawmila was PR I don’t think we need more debunking of that nightmare that we all witnessed and C had to go through, smh. Sabrina, Idgaf about her, I don’t even listen to her music 😭.All I know she did the same thing with Olivia and some other guy and that guy came out not long after that. What annoys me is the fans of C, instead of supporting her music, they are just ready to throw hate and some of them are straight up turning against her over shony boy. Idk if you know this but months before there was a blind now of course blinds are not that reliable I know, but this one stated that two artists from Island records will use Camila to promote their upcoming albums and I think so far this is accurate af. I just know that Camila regrets signing that PR contract every fucking day.

Unlike Sabrina/Shawn/Camila, I think that the whole Olivia/Joshua/Sabrina thing was real but blown way out of proportion to increase sales, streams, and attention. For them, the narratives and timelines actually make sense, which has never been the case for Shawn/Camila. But if what you said is true, those people were never really "fans" of Camila in the first place.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Imagine thinking C is writing songs about Shawn lmfao. Also, there was a blind months ago that said Shawn and Sabrina will use C for their narrative to promote their new albums, I don’t believe in blinds that much but this one proves to be accurate.

Yeah, Shawn/Sabrina made next to no noise when they were first spotted together so I guess they were playing the long game for the PR payoff. I do like Short n' Sweet though!

[mazes-and-the-madness]

It annoys me so much when Gaylors and Larry says that Camren was never real and that ship makes both Camila and Lauren uncomfortable(more so, larries than Gaylors). Larries are such hypocrites because last time I checked Louis denied Larry a lot of times too so and Louis also have a child which a lot of larries believe is fake, like wtf?

We literally saw Lauren in C’s story, I mean either larries are insecure af about their relationship or they are just ignorant fools

You know, I actually do think Larry happened in some capacity, just not in the "they never broke up, they're still together after 14+ years, and Louis' child isn't actually his" way that seems to be the predominant Larry worldview. I believe they had something during 1D days and have written songs about each other in their solo careers, but it's extremely unlikely that they're a thing in the year of our Lord 2024. But you're right, Larries can have a bit of a superiority complex which is ironic given the mountain of evidence supporting Camren.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Did gaylors had an insider like EL for Camren that was reliable and stuff?

Certain blogs claim to have "insiders" which may be correct in terms of some music industry tea (tour openers, release dates, etc.) but I don't think we can trust these sources when they say if a relationship is real or PR. They may not be deep enough in the inner circle to know for sure, or they're deliberately feeding false information to prop up a given narrative. But to directly answer your question, I don't think we've had anyone like that.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Hello, fellow CS. I am sending this message to most major CS blogs I could find on here.

I recently found out that Gaylors and larries are more organised than us and I believe we have legit proof of Camren being real in the past at least(2012-2021)

I need your help, let’s be united and make documents just like gaylors with all our proof. The proof could include anything, like a thread on twitter that debunks something, an analysis of MV/song, body language analysis , debunk post like Laucy 2.0 by Faby, pics, videos, etc(hope you guys got the gist) in short, anything that is useful and concrete.

I will also make a separate documents just for Showmila to debunk it(like it hasn’t been done already but still with every proof and inconsistency ever it will be easy af just to show the document if someone says it was real)

Are you guys interested? If so, I will make an email and you can send me your proofs and stuff there.

Thank you.

I can dig up my song analyses but fair warning, I just found out I have to move within the next 4-6 weeks so my life is in chaos and I might not be on here as much

[mazes-and-the-madness]

I truly don’t understand WTF Camila and Camila’s team is doing?

that makes two of us

[mazes-and-the-madness]

I don’t want to sound like an asshole but did Shawn cancel his previous tour because it didn’t sold enough? I mean💀 I won’t be surprised if he did

The official reason was "mental health," but both of those things can be (and likely are) true.

[mazes-and-the-madness]

Hello, It’s so funny how Camren meeting for the first time impacted Camila so much she always mentions it in her songs and how that story about it never changed because it’s the truth. Unlike, Showmila narrative lmfao.

true, we've got Havana, South of the Border, In the Dark, etc.
