Under Update (not officially back)

Hello everyone!

Long time no chat! I'm not officially back on tumblr, but funny enough I just saw the 5H reunion only 2 days ago by accident, came on here afterwards and saw some people have missed having me around. So I feel like I owe you all an update on what's been going on the past 5.5 months!

It's a long-ish update as I'm still working on my side project and maneuvering myself through life so I don't think I'll be able to be back on here regularly for a while.

Let's get started!

The main reason I left tumblr was because of my side project. The tumblr community is great and I've been on here since 2017. It's helped me feel connected to people who share the same interests as me. At the end of 2024, some of you may have seen my post about 2024 and one of my issues was not being confident enough to just step out and do stuff that I know I should do. So in 2025, specifically March 2025, I decided to just start my side project. I don't know if it's going to amount to anything, but it's been AMAZING so far just going through the process of doing it and seeing it come together. It takes a lot of time though which is why I couldn't commit to being on tumblr regularly anymore. I know some of you were disappointed at my absence, but I hope you understand!

Another thing I wrote about in my post about 2024 was needing a miracle. And none of you should ever sleep on miracles happening because something crazy happened less than a month after I got off tumblr. You all know how I research the music industry a ton and go deeper than just what the media presents us. So wouldn't it be cool if I actually met someone legit who could verify that there is a world that exists that we don't know about? Well, miracles happen and this one turned out way better than I could've ever imagined. I can't give names or record label details, but what I can tell you is that I'm now friends with an artist who had a huge hit song and toured with One Direction back in the 2010s. I've also connected with the president of the record label this artist is at and the amount of knowledge about the music industry they have is ASTOUNDING. What I can tell you is that we are NOT delusional. The music industry has a whole other level to it that the fans and general public do not see or widely have knowledge about. What the media spews out to us is highly curated to create a certain response from the general public and fans.

Blackpink in my area! I went to their concert in Toronto in July and it was UNBELIEAVABLE. I had the time of my life! I danced and sang like no one was watching me. It means a lot to feel represented by 4 Asian women who have somehow cracked all odds and become the highest charting and selling girl group globally of all time. They've even surpassed BTS in the Kpop realm when you combine their group accomplishments with their solo accomplishment. I never thought I would live to see the day. And now with the surge of Kpop Demon Hunters starring 6 Asian women (speaking and singing voices) taking over as the #1 watched movie on Netflix from another movie that held the spot for over 3 years, it truly is a time to be alive.

Which leads me to 5H. That reunion was everything! 7 years in the making. Their vocals. Wow. Time and maturity has done them well! There will be an OT5 reunion in the future. I can just feel it in my veins. It's going to happen. It's just a matter of time. But what a way to make a comeback. I kept saying to myself that this has to be the year because girl groups are on fire and a lot of groups that disbanded or went on hiatus are making comebacks. And lo and behold, they surprised all of us!

I've been watching Camila out of the corner of my eye and I really do get the feeling she's headed in the right direction. This tour has rejuvenated her and seeing fans from countries she's never been to line up in droves to see her proves to us and her label that her market is still out there. It may not be the US anymore. I still 100% believe Camry is PR and it has died down dramatically as her re-recognition as a solo artist has grown significantly over the past few months. And with the 5H reunion, that has boosted her again into the limelight even though she didn't actually reunite with them. All the good vibes are there and people want to see OT5. Everything is starting to fall into place. And yes, even after all this time, I still believe the Camren boat is afloat. I think more than ever right now.

Which leads me to still not getting over the fact that Camila and Becky Armstrong met at PFW. I cannot tell you how many Thai GL edits on TikTok have Camila's songs as their background music. And then Bangkok got to see Camila perform live for the very first time last month. Such a full circle moment in that regard.

Yes, I am still watching Thai GLs. Currently watching Only You and just finished Harmony Secret. Watching this industry grow and the actresses get better and better with every series has been a pleasure. They're building something that didn't even exist 3 years ago into something that people can relate and connect to. And the greatest part is that they know the responsibility they carry. That's what I find the most intriguing besides the storylines. The actresses know what this means for the LGBTQ+ community. They take their jobs seriously and many of them are even a part of the community themselves. And that's why I think they resonate so much globally. Every series is in Thai which is not a popular language by any means, but somehow people are finding community and representation through these stories like they've never experienced before and that truly is something to be cherished and supported.

I think I've covered everything I usually ramble on about. My asks inbox will still remain closed, but if you want to comment on this post, I will attempt to check it every once in a while.

Hope everyone is doing well! And if you aren't, please know that there's tomorrow. Anything can happen tomorrow. Just give yourself a chance to get there. I did. And I can tell you that it gets better. Even if it takes 100 tomorrows.

Love always,

Under

Hi everyone!

I turned off my asks for now.

I just need a break. Too many asks and I don't have the time to answer them all thoughtfully without foregoing other things in my life.

I don't know when I'll turn it back on. But feel free to ask on other blogs. I'm sure they won't mind picking up the slack while I'm away.

Thanks for understanding!

Hello what do you think about Roger? Do you think he is a good manager? If no, why do you think Camila still has him as her manager?

I honestly don't really have an opinion on him.

He can't be all the bad if Camila has kept him this long. He obviously was not tied to Epic and isn't tied to Interscope so there's nothing forcing her to keep him from a label contract perspective. Camila used to only say good things about him and he treated her like family and she treated him like family. The fact is that he came into the picture after Camila had signed that awful contract with Syco/Epic that lasted 10 years. There's not really much he could've done to undo that except for help negotiate for better terms along the way which he seemingly did.

All I know is fans need to chill. His last post on Instagram was almost a year ago and fans were so nasty. His comment section is full of toxic comments. We don't know so much, but fans have the gall to go and berate him about stuff they know nothing about. It makes my heart sink. Like if you love Camila as a fan, don't spread toxic comments and garbage around in "her defense". That's not right. He's a person too and is way closer to Camila than any of us will ever be. Just be respectful.

Hello,

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMBmbAo9u/

She looks depressed as fuck, why is she doing this to herself 😭

These are just snaps of moments in time. There were also moments when she was smiling. People are going to mash those together to say she's really happy. It's all perspective and narrative. Fans drive their own narrative as well.

There are reasons behind the PR relationship. Don't forget that.

Hello, what do you mean by when you said, “C's team knows. It's not about them knowing because they've known for a long time. They just can't make the move yet. They're definitely getting closer though. We need to have patience. It will all work itself out with time.” Especially by “they are definitely getting closer” from what I have seen her team is adamant in pushing Camila deep in the closet for the rest of her life, unless, the label wants her to come out eventually.

Camila's team has always known about Camren. Whether it's the PR side of it or the actual truth of it.

I think I've said this at least a dozen times already that it's not all going to just be easy for Camila now that she's with Interscope. Epic was trying to fit her into a box and controlled her career. They used her when they wanted to and crushed her when they wanted to. Now that she's with Interscope, everything Epic did over the course of 10+ years can't all just be undone in a year or two without a lot of other issues occurring. It's going to take time to navigate everything. There are a lot of moving pieces and people involved. Just because Camila and her team are sticking to the straight narrative doesn't mean it's always going to be like that. It's serving a purpose right now and there needs to be transition period. Everything seems like it should be simple from our view. Just let her come out, and everything will be perfect. But we only see what they want us to see. We don't know how complex everything is behind the scenes.

It's the same thing with 5H. Do you really think they don't want to get back together? They've been on hiatus for 7 years now and promised to return. It's not because they don't want to or their teams are telling them no. It's because it's all a work in progress. A lot of things happening behind the scenes that need to be resolved.

Hello, I saw that Lauren said she met three other members of 5H few days before, I wholeheartedly believe it’s Dinah, Normani and Camila because no offence but I think, they had a falling out with Ally. I truly believe Lauren can’t stand Ally because she is a Zionist and we know how hard Lauren is fighting for Palestine. I am waiting for a group pic. And then, Camren rumours ! We have to wait for another few years don’t we? Can interscope hurry up?😭

I think if Lauren says she met 3 other members of 5H that means it's Dinah, Normani and Ally. Camila is technically not part of 5H anymore. And there's no way she would just casually drop info on her meeting with Camila after people haven't seen them together in years.

I also think LAND meet up regularly to be honest. Lauren and Ally have both talked about how they are working together to fight a lot of behind the scenes battles like getting the rights to their name Fifth Harmony, songs, etc. from Epic so they can actually get back together to do a reunion/album on their own terms. And Ally has been leading it the last I heard. Obviously Camila is a piece in all of this, but I think publicly they're going to keep that line between them there until things get closer to being resolved.

You know, the most absolute damning piece of evidence that Camila’s in a pr relationship is her interview where shes at that fashion show with her ‘bf’ and she’s asked what’s in her tiny purse. Without skipping a beat, her answer is her ‘dignity’. Camila, girl, I hope the $$$ is worth it but I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU

I LOVE THAT ANSWER LOL.

Made my day anon!

Hello! What if this tour doesn’t do well? What do you think would be Camila and interscope and her teams next step? Could she come back from that? Or she will have to leave the label and find some other label? Or go independent?

They're going to make it do well. It's a small tour with flexibility so they just have to break even at the very least. Whether that requires selling off the tickets in local markets to businesses and promoters or scaling down the performances (i.e. could be just Camila and AV (audio visaul) no live band or dancers potentially), they will make sure it remains profitable.

I think one thing people aren't understanding is that Interscope is here to support Camila. This is not Epic. Epic wanted to wring her dry and own her career, image and brand. Interscope so far has not done that at all. They're letting her be an artist and they're wiling to take on risk to let her grow and re-shape her career and herself. I don't know who the A&R manager is who brought Camila to Interscope, but whoever it is really wants the best for her. And that's something you don't find a lot these days especially with artists that have had their peak and seem to be struggling.

These are all just steps along the strategy for rebuilding Camila's career. And these are never 1 or 2 year strategies. These are usually like 5-7 years strategies so it's not game over by any means. This is an experiment and learn type of environment Camila is in right now. Of course, she wants to do well and we want to see her do well. But when you're doing a hard reset like she's doing, you have to give yourself buffer and learn from everything that's not going as expected, and that's exactly what I'm seeing Interscope and Camila do.

Hello, look at them^, morons. How can you be a native Portuguese/Spanish speaker and don’t know that Senorita is a song about a woman, embarrassing.

People like to fantasize.

Also, the song is a duet lol. The song isn't as impressive if he just sings it solo.

Have you seen/heard about the YG leaker? They apparently leaked a lot of pre-debut videos then talked about jenkai, taennie, why chaelisa fought and other idols etc. they seemed to have done all this on discord. They apparently had like 200TB of data for a number of groups and idols but most of the leaks seem to be about BP. At this stage idk what they really posted and what’s fake and some people think this was cover other things going on. The only thing that makes me inclined to think this is real is that they leaked unreleased footage. They say they worked at YG and are upset because they were fired and that’s the reason behind it

I haven't seen or heard anything about this.

In Korea, this actually happens quite frequently. Disgruntled employees leaking information after they get fired. It often leads to legal battles so I don't know how far this person is willing to go to prove their point whether the information they have it real or fake because one of the labels will go after them in court.

Hello, how are you doing? Did Shawn cried at a concert in Brazil? Because of Camila, people are saying he did and if he did, this guy and his team are PATHETIC.

I have no idea

Hello the fact that Camila is still struggling to sell out her shows in her tour is very sad. It’s been a whole ass month, no date yet as been announced fully sold out. Not saying that the seats are completely empty, the first show in her tour is almost sold out but you still can get full price tickets. I tried to check out other shows but I couldn’t understand it but I am going to assume it’s not sold out either because if it were not the case than her fans would be celebrating on twitter. How much artists get paid to perform at festivals?? Camila has announced that she will be performing in Japan,Thailand , etc. but she is not headlining them. Also, watch Henry and Camila show up next month if the Australian tour dates don’t sell well.

I don't know how much artists get paid to do festivals. I would imagine headlining at Coachella, Lollapallooza or Tomorrowland would pay significantly higher than a smaller festival in a foreign country.

I like that she's going to Japan, Indonesia and Thailand for festivals. And she is actually headlining or 2nd on the billet. Japan loves 5H. They were a huge part of 5H's fanbase so I think fans will come out to see her especially since she rarely goes there. Indonesia is another place where there were a lot of Harmonizers back in the day too. And y'all know how I feel about Thailand. It is the hub of GL series worldwide right now with a blockbuster summer full of new series on the docket and she legit just met Becky Armstrong at PFW who is her fan. Like this is all too fortuitous to not mean something. First time performing in Bangkok and she already has a link to a GL series actress? I wouldn't even be surprised if we see a ton of GL actresses show up at the festival to see her perform.

I like how Interscope is taking this turn with her tour schedule. It makes sense. Go where she hasn't gone before or rarely goes and see who shows up. It may turn out to be that her fanbase has changed. The die hard fans may no longer be in the US and Europe, but might be in Asia. Hard to know though unless she goes there to see who shows up.

Hello, I think it is imprtant to remember when it comes to Camila PRs. Matthew got some traffic in Camila’s social media as she did some posts with him. And Shawn got a lot of because well…it was supposed to be on our nose. And Austin Kevitch got nothing neither does Henry yet. Not because they are normal people or whatever, it’s because it’s probably not in their contract and u rest my case.

Exactly, it comes down to contracts and what avenues the teams want to use to promote the PR relationships.

Also, Henry doesn't even have social media (at least not known public accounts) so that was definitely not in the contract lol. That would've served zero purpose.

Oh yeah? Who is the fucking source, her team? I am already waiting for this bs to end. Camila keeps on saying that she has dated people who we have no idea about (I think they all are women 🏳️‍🌈😂🏃‍♀️) then, why bring apparently a normal off grid person into this celeb life and call paps in Italy, get papped in a private holiday in a beach in St.barth ?😂 same script like always just a different guy. At this point, I am so exhausted. 😩

Same script. Now that she's older, they need to make things seem more serious. All part of the narrative.

It’s so cute to see Jennie and Lisa finally interacting properly on social media especially because it was Lisa being more open this time. It’s been such a drought with them that a lot of people think the picture Jennie posted is edited lol. I get why they think that and it’s probably because of the lighting and J does tend to pick pictures off Pinterest at times but I feel like putting an edited picture would be a bit much. Jenlisa hanging out isn’t that unbelievable lol. It might be from Lisa’s birthday last year which just shows that they do spend time together, just choose not to show it. L then posting the flowers with a white heart which she only used for J, seems to have gotten both the JL and fredlisa shippers thinking it’s speculating about who the flows are from so everything feels like it’s finally going back to normal haha.

We love a good Jenlisa interaction! Fans just need to be happy with what they get lol.

Hello, I think people put too much emphasis on blind items. Almost 9/10 times it’s bullshit so idk why people act as if they are an accurate source of information.

Exactly. I never trust blind items. They're mostly people posting random theories and guesses. They're entertaining, but I put 0% trust in them.

https://x.com/thecamiladaily/status/1905719838892540074?s=46&t=4knNAwPkOIO0jCg9CscblA

Okay, that sounds interesting, she could probably talk about Camren and how people controlled them and how they kept it hidden, it’s a long shot, but let me dream! Or,,,, this could be a coming out album 😈 (hello, btw)

Ooooooohhhhh

I like the sounds of CC5.

The song that came straight to my mind when I read what she said is I Have Questions. That was one of the most revealing songs she's ever released about what she felt during her time in 5H. Even though it was hard and ugly, it was the truth. And I really loved it. So if she's going back to that, I wouldn't mind that at all.

I wouldn't put too much weight on this being a coming out album. It could totally be part of the album, but it feels like it should be a major theme of another album down the road because that's pretty huge on it's own. What she's already hinted at is a heavy topic which definitely deserves a full album.
