aita for indirectly leading to the deaths of a majority of a mortal’s crew?
so i (30000, gf) am a really cool really fun interesting silly person, so when this mortal (40smth, m) came to me for help going home to his island after ten tears at war and two years at sea, i figured i would make it a game.
now i was pretty clear that this was a game and all he had to do was win for my help. i told him the rules where as follows; just keep the bag closed. he asked the catch and i wasnt just gonna TELL the guy exactly plainly how to win so i cryptically told him to keep his friends close and his enemies closer, told him he never really knew who he could trust—including me, reminded him not to let his crew open it, that he might have to kill some people for this (which i dont see a problem with tbh). finally that the ends always justify the means and that friends become enemies.
so i give him a bag full of the storms and send him back with some of my winions, who then add the challenge of telling his crew that there is treasure inside (which was a lie, hi yea he should of picked up on the liar to liar communication). so i also told him that as the wind god, i give the fire enough to stay burning. im very bored a lot of the time; i wanted to watch this crew fall put of trust with each other for my own enjoyment!!! is that so bad??
so he stays up for nine days straight, i had a great time watching him. and then he finally drifts to sleep like a weak loser and they open it and its a whole oohhh nooo thing, but like, crews fault for believing two small gremlins over their damn captain but whatvr, so then they go to poseidon (brother of my pookie zeus, idn much abt him personally tho) and hes mad abt them blinding his dumb son or smth like that, and he destroys like 11 ships of 50 each (whoops) and now suddenly its MY fault???
well ive been reflecting and my winions and me have been talking and while my friends (zeus, zephyrus, hypnos, etc.) are allll on my side, im just not that sure anymore. so aita?

ugh it’s just like. it’s so close to being actually good but it’s just kind of meh. like “i didn’t opt in to be your odd man out” — she’s close to doing something cool there! i like the juxtaposition of in/out, but something about it just feels clunky idk!!

The new album is by far her worst project to date imho. And I'm saying this as someone who's been rigorously listening to everything she's dropped since 2009. The album was already wayyy too long before she revealed it was actually twice as long. It all has the exact same sound, it just goes on and on and on and on. Florida!!! was the only good song there and frankly it's not a coincidence it's also her Florence collab.
At first I thought "yeah, leave those Antonoff beats alone, give someone else a chance", but even the songs with Aaron Dessner were a damn bore. The sound was alright, but she's become too verbose in a way that doesn't allow the listener to parse a phrase before she's gone off on another tangent that will have tiktokers comparing her to like, Emily Dickinson or Virginia Woolf or whatever. Drop that thesaurus baby. Give us another me! or shake it off.
She's way too stuck inside her own ass. Her navel-gazing is what gave us I hate it here and so many songs about Matty Healy. The second was expected - but the first? What was the point?
