Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

[strutitout]

can we just say it, like why beat around the bush

the expensive prices, the random merch drops that have nothing attached to it, no meaning, nothing from louis talking about it, THE EXPENSIVE PRICES, the limited time only deal so that fans can hurry up and by bc they’ll feel like they’re missing out…..yeah this is wrong

officially bored of only getting merch and not content

So, the thing is, artists make their money from touring. Their label makes money. It’s like, the Black Friday of music artistry. The merch sales, the ticket prices, the general cash flow- takes the enterprise/brand from investment to dividends super quickly.

It’s one of the reasons why Harry’s team is so hesitant to cancel tour. It’s why ticket prices are steep. It’s why Louis has had three merch drops. The music industry is scrambling to make more money in a two year gap where they lost their biggest source of income.

Does that make it right? No. Do I blame the boys themselves? Probably not as much as I could/should. Do I think they’re trying to make sure the people who rely on them get paid? Yes. Do I think the average fan understands that? No.

Well this makes sense a lot of sense actually

I’m glad she said that because a lot of people are like why don’t people just leave and you can’t when you’re bound to a contract

Asking For Help

(Trigger warning: child abuse, domestic violence, attempted kidnapping.)

Hi, Tumblr/Fandom Friend(s),

I know my blog isn't particularly well-known aside from some viral posts. A major reason I'm inactive is due to the contents of this post. But I'm reaching out wherever and however I can for my kids.

As I've briefly mentioned here and on my other inactive blog, I've been dealing with domestic violence and child abuse from my children's father for years now.

My ex is finally away from my children physically. Unfortunately, he abandoned all financial support and obligations towards them and me. His verbal abuse towards me continues relentlessly.

Last night, someone attempted to kidnap my autistic six year old son. It was a family member he was previously in regular contact with. The incident was horrifying for us and confusing for him.

We have temporarily relocated from our home; all of our blankets, towels, and my toddler's car seat was stolen. We are safe and have necessities where we are.

However, we will be returning home in two days. I have begun pursuing all of my legal options, but it's a very slow and tedious process.

Overall, my financial situation is dire. I've spent all but $45 and don't get paid for my next freelance gig until July. My income is about $200/month. My kids both have special needs and require a lot of my attention and effort - especially now.

Many people have offered me cash support, but accepting money can hurt my eligibility for the assistance programs I have applied for.

I made an Amazon wishlist for our household expenses and miscellaneous items we need. If you could possibly take a look or simply share this post, it would mean the world to me.

Learning to swallow my pride and ask for help has been incredibly difficult but necessary. Thank you for the kindness and positivity many of you have sent me despite my inactivity. I deeply appreciate the support, whether it's a kind word, item purchase, prayer, or reblog.

Stay safe, stay well, and treat people with kindness.

Amy
