#and i mean im a priscilla fan so i do have a bias here i’ll admit that

I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure the age of consent in Germany 1959 was 14. What are ur opinions on people saying elvis groomed her? And what do u think about people saying they hate elvis even more now after watching the Priscilla movie? From what I’ve heard the movie lacks a lot of information. And I like Priscilla but I’m not very fond of the movie because it (apparently) has scenes where he’s shown as abusive, when he threw a chair in her DIRECTION. But I’m not sure if it shows when Priscilla threw a vase AT him. I just want I bit more of ur opinions because every other one is people being biased to Priscilla

respectfully, it doesn’t matter if he wasn’t breaking age of consent laws. y’all know i personally don’t choose to call him the g word out of respect of priscilla not calling him that but. she was *so* young. even if his friends in the memphis mafia were concerned about how young she was and how it would look. it’s such a complicated thing for me to talk about because i love elvis and don’t want to “wish away” the reason we got lisa marie, and therefore riley. but on its face, it was wrong. i don’t think it makes me a bad fan of any of the above parties to be honest about that. I think hell would freeze over before i’d let my hypothetical 14 year old daughter gallivant around with a 25 year old and *her* parents boggle my fucking mind sometimes. but again- i can’t in good conscience wish away why we got lisa. so it’s just. a lot of complicated feelings. 

of course the movie lacks information, if they pulled every little detail from her book it would be hours and hours and hours long. it’s legitimately not possible to include everything, elvis 2022 didn’t either! no adaptation ever will. 

as for the chair thing it really confuses me when the same people (not you! speaking generally) who make jokes about how violent he was re “i’d let him do whatever he wanted!”, jokes about his love of guns etc turn around and act scandalized at the suggestion that his anger issues got taken out on women too.

priscilla is NOT the only girl he was with to talk in blunt terms about his anger issues. anita wood went even more ‘blunt’ then priscilla did with the chair story and said elvis physically shoved her against a door when she (anita) confronted him about having an affair after she found a letter from priscilla. and went on to say that he begged her not to tell anyone saying how young she was. i think he was a deeply traumatized and troubled man and that his anger issues had roots in all that. but a reason doesn’t = an excuse. 

i can love him and still hold space for not excusing away bad behavior. it’s possible. i’m tired of people acting like it’s not.
