{{A quick video of me singing “The Mad Hatter” from Wonderland: A New Alice, A New Musical}}
Why don’t all you idiots in the fandom (NOT the admins) go back to the drawing board and fight someone your own size? Hiding up on the damn internet, and you look to attack a mentally ill girl who just wants to sing about shit and get a musical? You’re all pathetic.
“A mentally ill girl”? Emilie Autumn is pushing 40 fucking years old. The very fact that anyone thinks they can refer to her as a ‘girl’ just proves the point. EA is MORE than ‘our own size’. She’s a grown-ass woman. If she can’t take some people criticizing her when she acts like a raging bitch, blatantly lies, or just otherwise does or says things that people think are bullshit, then that is not our problem. Just because she acts like an unstable 8 year old on the internet most of the time doesn’t mean she is one. And she sure as shit doesn’t need some anonymous confessor gallantly ‘defending’ her on tumblr.
I can’t believe people are still harping on about the forum incident. Christ, how many years has it been now?
Which one, exactly? There’ve been many more than one, you realize.
What are they about? I’ve never been able to find anything about them. I’m a terrible Googler.
As much as I’d love to tell you, it would take me a really damn long time to do it. So instead, I’m going to refer you to EA’s Encyclopedia Dramatica page. Yes, it’s trolltastic and bitchy, but it also covers at least some of the drama quite well. My guess would be that the specific incident the confessor was talking about was the CossetteAlice debacle, and last I checked, it was covered pretty well in the ED entry for EA.

It makes me sad for an artist when their fan base seems to be having a civil war.
Well, when she fanned the flames herself…
YOU GUYS NEARLY 11,000 OF YOU PUT UP WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. You guys listen to more of my crap than my own boyfriend generally does. That deserves rewarding. So this is an extra SPECIAL tea give away, and there will be THREE winners. Oh my god. Want a chance to become one of those lucky three people? Read on and follow directions.
THE PRIZES:
- First Place Prize: A set of all seven Sherlock Shipper tea blends [Sherlock/Moriarty, Sherlock/Irene, Moriarty/Moran, Mycroft/Lestrade, Lestrade/John, Lestrade/Molly, Molly/Moriarty]
- Second Place Prize: A set of all four* Avengers Teas [Thor, Loki, Steve Rogers, and Coulson *and possibly also Tony Stark if I make a tea for him soon]
- Third Place Prize: A set of all three Doctor Who Teas [The TARDIS, Amy Pond, and Rory]
- IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PRIZE PACKS: Each winner will get ONE blend specially created for them. It can be a character or ship or show or book or whatever that I haven’t done that they’d like me to do. It can even be a blend made based on THEM. Whatever the winners would like. They each get to request one, and they will receive it with their other teas.
I MIGHT ADD TO THESE PRIZES. If this gets reblogged like, a lot, or something, I might lose my head and also send the winners mugs to go with their tea. Or a book. WE’LL SEE.
THE RULES:
- Anyone ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can enter EXCEPT AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!! I am SUPER sorry for my followers down under because not only do you have to put up with terrifying wild life, you can’t even allow tea to be imported to help comfort you. Sorry, there’s like, crazy laws and stuff.
- You do not have to be following me to win, but it might be helpful to keep track of updates or changes (if any). Plus I plan to make some blends for other fandoms in the future, so if tea is your thing, it might not be a bad idea?
- Only two reblogs a day allowed.I did not realize how often people would reblog my last big give away soooo I’m going to enforce this LOL. You can reblog on as many days as you’d like, but yeah, only 2 reblogs a day please. I’ll be checking.
- LIKES DON’T COUNT. Sorry! You have to reblog!
- The give away will end and I will choose the winners on FRIDAY JUNE 1ST. I’ll probably do the drawing late at night on that day, so I’m going to say I’ll stop counting reblogs at 10 p.m. EST. Winners may not be announced until the next day or so, just to be aware!
- Here’s how the winners will be selected: Just like all of my other give aways, I’ll compile a spreadsheet or numbered list of all of the reblogs, and I’ll use the number generator on random.org to chose a number and find the corresponding username on the list. The first number I draw will win the first place prize (or, if they are more into Avengers or Doctor Who, they may chose one of the other prizes). Second number I draw will win the second place prize (or a choice between whatever two packs remain), and the third number drawn will receive the last prize!

How many spam messages about this tumblrdatinggame thing am I going to get? This is like the third message today.
I can’t believe people are still harping on about the forum incident. Christ, how many years has it been now?
Which one, exactly? There’ve been many more than one, you realize.
I just wish Emilie Autumn would tell everything with a little more nuance and little less generalisation. Now I sometimes get the feeling that she thinks that all doctors are evil, that all men are cruel and that medication is not there to help, but control you. Luckily in her interviews she explains her view on the world a bit more nuanced.
Then again, in interviews she also goes on about how men are biologically programmed to be cruel and heartless, while women are not, and goes on rants full of misinformation about the mental health care system both of today and the Victorian age, so…*shrug* :P
Yeah, it’s pretty childish of her. But if she wants to live a fantasy childhood, nobody can really stop her. She’ll give it up one day once she learns a thing or two called forgiveness. Well, hopefully…
And as for Emilie mentioning her Mother in past interviews… that was a whole different period of her life. Even Emilie’s own Mother stood up and publicly announced that Emilie has thrown their names around like trash. Even she doesn’t know why EA says such things. Her Mother is actually a nice person though and certainly one with unconditional love. She has asked fans of EA to still support her and enjoy her work even through all the lies EA has said.
Oh, I know everything her mom’s said. But the only thing she’s even technically said that paints her family as a whole in a bad light is a short passage in her book, and even that only sort of hints at it, as opposed to outright saying it (as far as I can remember). And at least one interview she mentioned her mother in was during the Opheliac era, so it wasn’t that long ago. But then with her comment in the Opheliac Companion and such…It’s like she was walking this line between ‘be truthful about my family’ and ‘LIE. Make up the story’, and she finally made a choice at some point. Perhaps she just decided that it was worth it to sacrifice her family for the sake of her made-up backstory, and was more than willing to make that sacrifice, cutting them off. But maybe she doesn’t necessarily really dislike them. I can easily see it as being more of just…apathy. Like she knows they’re around, knows that what she’s said about them is wrong, but doesn’t care, because she’s Emilie Autumn Liddell and she has a fantastic backstory for her fans to fawn over, so it’s worth it.
Either way, I suppose EA doesn’t exactly come out smelling like roses. *shrug*

Yeah… I think she just wanted to create a backstory so she doesn’t have to associate herself with her family because she dislikes them that much.
Which, incidentally, she easily could have done without 1) lying about her family having died in a fire and 2) making up some bullshit fake name. Her legal name, as of last year, was still Fritzges. Her name never has been Liddell, in any way. There are plenty of artists who never/rarely mention their families, and everyone’s totally fine with it. It’s not as though her only option to not discuss her family was to make up lies about them and herself. As far as her disliking her family that much…Well, I mean, she’s mentioned her mother rather positively in past interviews. So I’m unsure whether to believe that she invented the story because she wanted to distance herself from her family out of some kind of dislike, or if she just genuinely wanted to make up a story about herself and get her fans to believe it just for the hell of it.
I just…don’t know what possessed EA when she decided to create a made up backstory to try to add to her ‘tragedy’ or make herself seem more ‘interesting’ or something (with the supposed- yet not at all proven- connection Alice Liddell. As if such a connection really matters anyway, since there really wasn’t anything that special about Alice Liddell herself.)

Anonymous asked: I'm going to sound like a creepy stalker now, but I really love your blog. I came across it via Wayward Victorian Confessions and I admire how you argue your points very clearly and very strongly and not just the EA related ones. I find myself agreeing with the points you make because you not only argue them well, but you take into account so much more than most others who reblog and go off on whiny, immature rants. In other words, I admire your debating skills.
*hugs creepy stalker* Why thank you! I love getting these kinds of messages! It reassures me that I’m not just a raving bitch or something. :P
A. Why the F*** are you sexually active if you’re only fourteen.
B. If it wasn’t rape, then you should be close enough to her to know that you two obviously have different views on teenage pregnancy AND MAYBE REALIZE THAT PRO-CHOICE + PRO-LIFE MIGHT NOT RESULT IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP SEEING AS YOU CAN’T EVEN AGREE ON A BASIC MORAL VALUE.
C. Am I the only one who see’s a problem with 14 year old’s having Sex?? Jesus…
D. People bug me…
Where exactly are you pulling point B from? You don’t know he’s NOT pro-choice. You’re just assuming it because, what? He was emotionally invested in the baby before it was aborted? That’s like saying that pro-choice people have to always get abortions, just because they think abortion is okay. It doesn’t make sense. (Not to mention that you have NO idea what the girl’s position is. Maybe she’s pro-life but was pressured by relatives or something into getting it. You have no clue.) You basically just said that the boy had to either be pro-life or a rapist. What the fuck? Do you see what the issue there is? O_o
