the VF article is the wildest celebrity profile I have read since rpattz/microwave spaghetti I'm DYING at some of the quotes:

This time it’s multiple cries, and it’s unmistakable. I’ve got two kids. That’s a baby. And I can tell by the frozen look on my host’s face that she heard it too. So I brace myself to ask the strangest question of my career: Do you have another baby in your life, Grimes?

“I mean, when people say I’m a class traitor that is not…an inaccurate description,” she admits.

“Personally, I don’t think ‘manic pixie dream girl’ is an insult. I exactly identify with all of those terms. I understand it’s supposed to be a critique of certain things, but then I challenge that critique.”

As the Tesla beeps and begins to park itself, Musk sums up his position: “I just don’t like things to be messy and anime.”

highly highly recommend giving it a read

[slaughtermatic]

Why would you date GRIMES then lol those are quite possibly literally her middle names by now lmao

[er1s]

I refuse to believe he goes anywhere not high

[msloserrific]

omfg I am in tears reading this. the part where Elon questions if she's a synthesized companion created for him in a simulated world...the part where she says he has poverty line living standards...saying she could be a radical Marie Antoinette...I can't take this LMFAO

[xaristotlex]

ok this comment made me go back and click lmao WHAT

[headcaseheidi]

the amount of “progressive” rich white girls who’ve made it clear they relate to marie antoinette ever since the pandemic started has really been 🧐🧐🧐

[stark]

Like.... why isn't he the perfect simulated partner for her? Because women are still objects to be perceived by men.

[lozbabie]

I will say the comment on the manic pixie dream girl is very much one I agree with her on. And I feel dirty on.

(The MPDG trope shows a nuero divergent woman. Where it fails is that it shows men loving that, when that’s just not true)

[poor_medea]

The problem was never with the girl, but rather with the narrative structure that positions the girl as a catalyst to change in the man. She shows up, she complicates his life, makes him ~realise things, and then leaves (sometimes dies). She is not a complete person but a plot point.

The other issue is that while we might recognise elements of neurodivergence in her manic, pixie status, because she is part of the plot and not a character in her own right, she is never allowed to be boring or down. She must always be whimsical and freeing (not "free", importantly, but "freeing" -- for him).

Thank you! I am confused when I see people criticize women by calling them MPDG. MPDG is not a person! It is an overused plot device.

There is value to discussing how real nuerodivergent women are pressured into presenting themselves a certain way to be "accepted."

But can we please let individual "quirky" women be! They are trying their best!!!!!
