tkr generellt att folk får tro vad de vill om sig själva o om de tkr de har en ätstörning så fine whatever idc men hatar hatar hatar den typen av instagram content där poängen är att få folk att tro att en ätstörning ser ut på d sättet och att det är ok att typ??? ha anorexi o aldrig gå ned i vikt?? liksom babes. ok men har du tänkt på att det är det som skrämmer mig mest av allt, allt folk ska titta på mig, veta att jag är ätstörd, men tänka att jag är en av de fat positive personerna som nt gått ned i vikt och nt är smal och typ har misslyckats asså jag fattar att man inte kan säga eller tycka som jag säger och tycker men honest to god i’m so fucking triggered by this

Lihkku beiviin/læhkoeh biejjine/vuorbbe biejvijn Sápmi/Saepmie/Sábme!!
Happy birthday, Sápmi! Today is the national Sámi day, and the day is celebrated by the Sámi all over and even outside Sápmi! It is celebrated with family and friends, food and drinks, music and joik, and laughter and games.
This day is very important for many people, even for the whole of Sápmi. And in the spirit of this day, I want to mention some of Sápmi’s most important figures in the fight against the colonization, discrimination and racism the Sámi people have faced and still faces.
Elsa Kristina Laula Renberg (1877-1931)
Tumblr media
Elsa Laula Renberg was a Southern Sámi woman, reindeer herder, activist, politician, and much more. She was the first Sámi woman to have her writings published. These writings included discussions of the issues the Sámi faced, such as their education, right to own land, the right to vote, etc. The Sámi national spirit was high and reawakened during this time, which made her writings especially important. She encouraged other Sámi women to work and help with this cause. She founded the South Sámi Fatmomakka Association, the first Sámi activist organisation. Her battle was a long one, and she inspired the whole of Sápmi and she til this day remain as one of Sápmi’s most important activists.
Nils-Aslak Valkeapää (1943-2001)
Tumblr media
Nils-Aslak Valkeapää (also known as Áillohás) was a Northern Sámi man, artist, singer, author, musician, illustratior, joiker, etc. He was the first Sámi arthour to recive the Nordic Council Literature Prize. He became one of the biggest artist in Sápmi, with the whole world seeing his creations. Áillohás was a pioneer for the joik, not only by bringing it for the everyone to listen, but for combining it with instruments and other genres. He never shyed away from creating art, often creating poems and photos, illustrating it with drawings and paintings, which was often Sámi-centric. He also was politicially active, often talking about the issues the Sámi faced and he was even Culturecoordinatior in World Council of Indigenous Peoples. (Link to Áillohás’s most famous poetry collection - Beaivi, áhcázan, The Sun, My Father: https://archive.org/details/sunmyfathernilsa00nils)
Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen (1998-)
Tumblr media
Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen is a Northern Sámi woman, artist, singer, joiker, activist, actor, author, etc. She is today one of Sápmi’s most important people, due to her work as an activist. She is often looked up at as one of Sápmi’s faces. She is an active activist and dedicate a lot of her time and power to fight for Sápmi and against the colonization Sápmi faced, and all the injustices the Sámi still face today. She burns for Sápmi, and have no trouble in bringing up the issues the Sámi face with the public, especially the Norwegian public and goverment. A lot of what she does, centers around the Sámi values in the form of music and acting. She is the main character of the movie Ellos eatnu - la elva leve which has become one of Sápmi’s most important movies. (Ella Marie Hætta’s book is called Derfor må du vite at jeg er same, for anyone that wants to check it out! Please do!)
Of course, there’s way more people who made Sámi history, and I wish I could mention them all in this post! I will make more posts about these people, don’t worry. Hope that everyone who celebrates the Sámi national day have an amazing day!! Lihkku beiviin!!

How long into relationship with every må member do you think it would take to sleep together? Like a few weeks or on the first date ?
Vic: The least amount of time, she's a woman who knows exactly what she wants and she goes for it. If she wants you, she'd have you in her bed the same night she first lays eyes on you.
Ethan: For him, it would probably be fairly quick but he still takes his time making sure. He likes to build a bit of a connection first so he can really figure out what you like in bed beforehand.
Thomas: He likes to be respectful and play by the rules, so a few dates before sex is necessary. Plus that way he can really get to know you and see where the relationship is going before taking that next step. But it could still be casual, he's definitely down for a friends with benefits type of deal.
Damiano: He's someone who looks slutty on the outside, but is a total softie on the inside. He likes to wait the longest, maybe going so far as to wait till you're exclusive and serious about starting a relationship together. But the wait will absolutely be worth it. He likes to make it special once he finally does sleep with you.

imagine norway making a post on instagram for each of the nordics on their birthdays, I imagine the captions would be something like this;
🇮🇸: "Love you so much little bro #happybirthday #lillebrorfyllerår"
🇫🇮: "my brother from another mother and fishing buddy🎣 happy birthday fin!"
🇩🇰: *picture of denmark drunk af* "today he gets to drink as much beer as he wants #happybirthdaybro"
🇸🇪: "my dear brother, my rock, and my best friend, the one who's seen me through it all and knows me in and out like his own pocket, today is your day and I hope it's filled with love, family and cake🎂❤️ I am so happy I get to spend this special day with you, and I can't wait to celebrate many more!☺️ Ja, må han leva uti hundrade år!🥳"
-
norway: "I don't have a favorite brother!" (also norway👆🏼)
Absolutely!! But I think Norway could also post the most rancid, unflattering photo of Sweden from two decades ago and just caption it as "söta bror" for potentially millions of people to see

Subtext and Culture, Young Royals, Season 2, Episode 2
Episode 2 probably picks up the day after the first episode...
Tumblr media
Subtext: ...and in the first shot of the episode, we see Malin literally stalking Wilhelm as he's making his way to classes. Of course, Malin has already been informed by the royal court that they're pulling Wilhelm, which is why she's keeping a close eye on him.
Subtext: since Wilhelm isn't answering his phone, the Queen called the principal, and is using her to get Wilhelm to talk to her. However, Wilhelm is completely uninterested, and distracted by a certain someone's singing coming from the music room. This directly mirrors how S1E3 started...
Subtext: ...but unlike those happy times, Wilhelm doesn't join Simon in the music room, he walks away, giving Simon space.
Culture: Different countries have different birthday songs, and the girls are of course singing the Swedish birthday song Ja må hon leva.
Culture: In Sweden, cheers are fourfold. Three cheers is something that the treacherous Danes do, and we of course have to be different. In some Denmark-adjacent regions of Sweden it's common to do a threefold cheer, which proves they're all Danish traitors.
Subtext: It's extremely uncommon in Sweden to have to re-take a year of school, which is why the other girls are so surprised that Sara isn't the same age as them. In Sara's case, it's because she was severely bullied at Marieberg and missed too much school.
Subtext: For the other girls, this is nothing, and even though they try to smooth it over, the implication is that Sara will have to pitch in an equal amount for each of their birthdays, and that is way beyond her means.
Culture: Simon is singing Cumpleaños Feliz, which is the most common birthday song in the Spanish-speaking world. It is a Spanish version of the well-known English birthday song Happy birthday to you.
Tumblr media
Culture: Pabellón is a traditional Venezuelan dish, which means we can safely assume Linda is from there as well. This is of course a reference to Omar himself being from Venezuela.
Subtext: Sara is consistently denying her family and roots, and choosing her new, rich friends, which is why she'd rather spend her birthday at the Manor House than at home.
Subtext: Sara said she needed new riding pants way back in season 1, but her family couldn't get her new ones until a special occasion like her birthday. But of course the other girls can afford a much more expensive gift just like that, and Simon's disappointment is immediately visible.
Subtext: And to make matters worse, Sara is asking to exchange the lesser pair of pants for cash, because she thinks she needs money to keep up with her new friends.
Subtext: Then again, Rosh and Ayub are treating Sara like crap, giving her a quick grats before quickly moving on to gossiping about Marcus.
Subtext: A throwback to season 1 where Sara accuses Simon of always putting other people before himself, and since Marcus actually seems to have his shit together, Sara joins Team Rebound, pushing Simon to get over Wilhelm.
Cinematography: The colour of Simon's clothes signals how he's feeling. Purple means he's feeling close to Wilhelm, but yellow means he's feeling independent and like himself. In this scene he's wearing a purple shirt over a yellow sweater over a purple t-shirt. Make what you will of that mess.
Culture: It's PE class, and the kids are playing Innebandy, or Floorball. This sport is extremely common in the Nordics, and is often used as a stamina exercise, because it's a very simple team sport that doesn't require a lot of technique. Literally everyone in Sweden has played it at some point.
Tumblr media
Subtext: Wilhelm ignores Simon and instead passes the ball to Walter, who fumbles and allows the other team to score, which is the show telling us that Wilhelm shouldn't ignore Simon because he'll lose that way.
Subtext: Isn't it funny that it's always the people at the top of a hierarchy who are the most insistent on the usefulness of that hierarchy for everyone else?
Subtext: Villain era Wilhelm is making more moves that will backfire spectacularly.
Subtext: Simon wants Sara to sit next to him so that Wilhelm has to sit somewhere else. Unfortunately for him, Sara has to sit with Felice.
Blink and you miss it: Wilhelm takes off his red sweater and hangs it on his chair.
Subtext: Some nice foreshadowing for the final scene of the season where Wilhelm does tell the truth for a change.
Subtext: The principal has of course already been informed that the Queen is pulling Wilhelm from Hillerska, which is why she's saying goodbye to a confused Wilhelm.
Blink and you miss it: Simon swipes Wilhelm's sweater while the teacher is busy taking Felice's phone.
Tumblr media
Subtext: The frog prince snowglobe from season 1 makes a comeback! This object symbolises how trapped Wilhelm feels by his crown, his royal duty.
Subtext: August wants nothing more than Wilhelm to be gone from the school, so that he can stop sucking up to him, and restore the order and discipline that Vincent is whining about.
Subtext: Malin, no! How could you?! She's a police officer, she can legally manhandle Wilhelm, but though the optics aren't exactly good in this case.
Subtext: They struggle, but at the end the glass breaks, the prince is finally set free, and can kiss his... prince?
Culture: Swedish doesn't have generic words for grandparents. Instead, you have to specify exactly which one of your four grandparents you mean; mormor, morfar, farmor, or farfar. Erik says "morfar", which means the Queen's father, which means Erik got it from the previous King of Sweden.
Culture: Wilhelm and Erik are probably playing the game A Way Out by Swedish game designer Josef Fares. It's the same game Simon can be seen playing in S1E1, and it's a tragic co-op game that ends by one of the players killing the other player.
Subtext: Except Wilhelm's feelings for a boy is the very thing that threatens the monarchy. Him being truthful is the threat.
Cinematography: No, Jan-Olof has been called in by the show creators to be a villainous personification of The System, thus allowing the Queen to become more sympathetic and more of a mother to Wilhelm.
Tumblr media
Subtext: Ok, so the now more sympathetic Queen says that they fully accept Wilhelm being non-straight...
Subtext: ...and then she immediately blows it by calling a same-sex relationship "unconventional". Yeah, no.
Subtext: The problem is that Simon has explicitly said that he does not accept the situation of Wilhelm's position, so this isn't helping. Also, that eye-roll is fantastic.
Culture: Sweden is 69% forest, so if you want to say "In the middle of nowhere" in Swedish, the expression is "mitt i skogen" - in the middle of the forest. In completely unrelated news, 17% of Sweden is covered by European Blueberry.
Subtext: August's stress levels went up quite a bit since he thought he was finally gonna get rid of Wilhelm, but he got to stay, so August runs back to his ADHD meds.
Culture: Finally the show reveals another house at Hillerska, Granhult - Sprucewood. At the real-world boarding school Lundsberg, one of the houses has the very similar-sounding name Gransäter. "-hult" is a common part of Swedish place names, and it simply means a small forest or woods, so the translation checks out.
Subtext: What August says applies directly to Wilhelm, he has to give it all he's got to get Simon back.
Subtext: Wilhelm negotiated and compromised with his mother, getting some independence and agency back. So now he's trying to negotiate with Simon, offering a compromise to him. Unfortunately, it's not enough.
Tumblr media
Subtext: Simon says he wants to stop ignoring Wilhelm, they have to be able to talk about the things they do together as friends. So this is where Wilhelm realizes rowing is one way he can stay close to Simon.
Subtext: Just like Rosh and Ayub interrupted Sara's celebration with more Wilhelm/Simon drama, Felice is doing the same here. At least Stella calls her out on it.
Subtext: Of course Stella challenges the intense heteronormativity of this game, while Fredrika is completely oblivious.
Culture: Tjejsnack literally means Girl Talk, and was a game that was sold in Sweden in the early 90's. It's a product of its time to put it nicely, and it's basically Truth or Dare made into a winnable board game. The original manual to the game says it's a game for girls ages 8 and up. Yikes.
Subtext: No, this is not how the game works, only the current player has to do a truth or dare, but Stella is just pretending everyone has to tell the truth so she can get the deetz on the others.
Subtext: Felice lies about how many people she has slept with in order to appear more proper and less promiscuous.
Subtext: Sara needs all the help she can get to figure out interpersonal relationships and sex and romance. Unfortunately, this is pretty shit advice, because just because you lust after someone, it doesn't mean they're a good person or that it's a good idea to have sex with them. You should probably apply a few more criteria before making that decision.
Lost in translation: The subtitles just cover the highlights of Felice and Wilhelm's text conversation, but it's rather long, so I put it all in a separate post: https://www.tumblr.com/skamenglishsubs/700474959215149056/felice-and-wilhelms-text-conversation
Tumblr media
Subtext: Simon is sniffing Wilhelm's sweater while looking at his fish tank. He's clearly still in love with Wilhelm and thinking about the time Wilhelm visited him in Bjärstad.
Subtext: Inspired by this he starts composing his song, while wearing Wilhelm's sweater. But when he gets to the line "Can never forget all that was good", he realizes that he's never going to be able to move on if he's gonna keep wallowing in it...
Subtext: ...so he angrily takes it off, and reactively reaches out to Marcus, agreeing to the proposed movie date in an effort to move on.
Subtext: When Wilhelm visited Simon, he actually meant it when he said it was cozy. Simon just says it here to be nice, it actually isn't very cozy, so this is a sad mirror of season 1.
Subtext: I actually love it that Marcus is portrayed as a complete gaybro, he has zero stereotypical gay traits, he just likes cars and hunting and hiking and shit, and he just happen to like guys as well.
Subtext: Simon suggests horror because it's what was shown during the movie night in season 1 when he and Wilhelm kissed for the first time, so this is yet another throwback.
Subtext: Simon broke up with Wilhelm because the relationship was only on Wilhelm's terms because of him being a royal. He's trying to move on and have a rebound hookup with Marcus, but ironically Marcus isn't giving Simon what he wants either. Everything about this date is 100% on Marcus' terms, they're at his place, watching the movie he chose, and they're as intimate as he wants. There's no compromise here, and also very little chemistry.
Subtext: Speaking of cursed hookups with zero chemistry, Sara forcing herself on August is throwback to when August did the same on her back in season 1.
Tumblr media
Subtext: Everyone else is always talking about the Queen properly, but our hero Boris just refers to her as "your mom". Removing all the pomp and circumstance is of course his strategy to help Wilhelm open up, to make him feel like his problems aren't that special and unique, and that Boris might actually be able to help him.
Culture: For some reason there's a Chinese checkers board setup on his table. That's an interesting therapy tool, maybe, I don't know? Also, Wilhelm decided to go to his therapy session in a $300 Comme des Garçons PLAY hoodie. As you do.
Subtext: Therapy takes time, and Boris allows Wilhelm to move at his own pace. Of course, Wilhelm's main problem is the lack of control over his life, so this should be very freeing for him.
Subtext: Wilhelm is still ashamed of having to go to therapy, or admitting he has a problem with panic attacks, so he pretends to put the folder back before he swipes it and hides it in his jacket.
Subtext: Vincent is a terrible human being. The show is busy setting up Chekov's Shooting Range by having him talk about going shooting and needing the practice anyway. And then he just casually mentions going to Zambia with his dad. Why Zambia? Because it's a hunting trip. Vincent is totally the kind of guy who could spend his winter break shooting an elephant or two instead of going skiing like a normal kid.
Culture: Of course they are wearing outfits appropriate for shooting, you can't come dressed as you like to an event like this, of course you have to dress up for it! As you do. Nice gloves, Felice.
Subtext: Wilhelm has to pretend not knowing Marcus' name to not come off as the crazy jealous stalker that he is.
Subtext: Everyone just loves giving bad advice to Wilhelm and Simon, and this time it's Felice's turn. Simon asked for space, so she's advising Wilhelm to encroach on it.
Tumblr media
Culture: Letterman jackets or varsity jackets are absolutely not a thing in Sweden. The reason Vincent is wearing one is to show off that he has done a year as an exchange student in the US. I think the patches are completely made up, but at least I can make out the arm patch saying New Haven, which sounds on brand for Vincent given that the Ivy League university Yale is located there, which is where the US upper class sends their kids.
Subtext: Here comes The Theme again. Vincent wants to uphold the traditions of their house, but the main reason he wants to is that he was treated like shit by the third-year students when he was a first-year, so he wants to keep the privilege of being able to treat the new first-years as shit now that he is a third-year, thus perpetuating the cycle of abuse.
Subtext: Is there anyone reading this who does not know what Marcus Junius Brutus is most known for? Spoiler: He helped kill Julius Caesar by stabbing him in the back.
Subtext: Funnily enough, August is right, Vincent will be a lot shittier as prefect and captain of the rowing team.
Blink and you miss it: Villain Wilhelm smirks as his plan to depose August worked out.
Subtext: Felice and the girls all know that Felice is going to sell the horse, but they haven't told Sara, because they know how much the horse means to her. And Sara can't read social cues to save her life, so she doesn't understand why Fredrika suddenly offered her to help out and spend time with her horse instead.
Tumblr media
Subtext: Vincent really isn't a fan of equality, so being forced to include first-year students in the competition instead of packing their team with all the strongest third-years is socialist nonsense to him.
Lost in translation: In Swedish, Vincent says "...även om ni suger dase". It means the same as the English subtitles, but it literally means "...even if you suck dick", which is a casually homophobic dig towards Simon and Wilhelm. That said, no-one in Sweden would use this expression when talking about oral sex.
Subtext: "...both mentally and physically, as you all know". Vincent's parade of awfulness shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, casual bodyshaming of Walter, throw it on the pile!
Lost in translation: In Swedish he says "som kan kötta!", which is hilariously untranslatable. It literally means to "meat" something, as in the sense of butchering, using brute force, or tearing someone to shreds. We're staying true to Vincent's douchebro brand here.
Culture: That's not a running trail, that's just a piece of random forest. It is quite common to have trails close to outdoor sporting areas like this, but I supposed there just wasn't one at this shooting location, so the show had to improvise?
Subtext: Wilhelm actually cares about keeping Simon on the team, because it's part of his plan of staying close to Simon in order to win him back, like Felice told him to. Instead he gives the lame excuse about Simon's PE grades.
Subtext: Yeah, no way this cheating plan is gonna backfire on Wilhelm, no way, no how.
Subtext: Simon avoids answering the question, because he doesn't want to tell Wilhelm about trying to move on from Marcus, so he pretends that he doesn't know know him.

I also think må have changed - as a band and also as an individuals. When you look at their photos, none of them really stands out from their "friends" regarding their style and looks. Also, I feel like they have lost a bit of their autenticy - they used to say in interviews how much how they don't want to be a part of this big pr machine and social media culture with all it's fakeness. They basically wrote Gossip about this - but now it feels like this song describes their own lifes.
At last, I think they might feel burn out, at least to some extent. They have been in music industry since they were 17. It certainly had an impact on them - they missed a lot of their high school experience, they basically started to work and have real adult responsibilities as a teenagers. Rockstar life is probably fun, but I can imagine that when you live it since you were teenager and now you are almost in your mid twenties it can get tiring/boring. I think that maybe this is what changed in them - maybe they lost this drive, at least for a moment? I am not saying that they don't want to make music anymore. But now music is their job and no job is 100% of time fun and exciting. When they started playing as a band music was their hobby, their dream and now it is something connected to money (so very pracitical part of their life) and their perspective on it might have changed.
Yes, they have definitely changed. I agree they have lost their authenticity. That is a good word to use. Gossip...Supermodel...all of those songs...their friends are exactly who I picture when I think of those songs. They literally went to LA and wrote the song Supermodel about a bunch of people who were hanging out with celebs, trying to be cool, and acting important and then they made fun of those people only to then befriend ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE. It feels like they have gotten caught up in that world that they pretend to not like.
Damiano is NOTHING like his former self. He went from this beautiful, fun, crazy guy known for his crazy looks and his amazing outfits to a......frat boy. I mean he doesn't put on the make-up, the nail polish, the wardrobe, etc anymore. It's like any guy you pass on the street. It's like he just doesn't care anymore. Gone is the excitement of it all. Then he wrote a bunch of songs about how much he disliked it, then complained about it in every interview to go along with it. The boy who wanted to be a rock star hates being a rock star it seems.
I don't know what happened to Vic. She used to be so fun. Now I look at her and her friends and think, "Did they even shower? Why do they look like they all just rolled out of bed and hate their life. They never smile and never look happy. I don't get the whole "I am so serious" looks they give the camera. She is like Zombie Vic.
Thomas pretty much spends all his time partying and then partying some more and then after that partying again and when they do things such as interviews, he looks like he is half asleep, or completely high.
And Ethan...who I love and adore...he disappears more often than he appears, even in their own Instagram stories and such. He is already missing his privacy and I totally get that, but they have only just begun. If they plan on having a long career...I don't know.
I am sure after nonstop touring and such for the last few years, they probably are burned out and I can get that too, but this job they do...Maneskin fans like to go on and on about how hard it is, but if you ask most rock stars they say "this is not a job" because when you love something it's not a job. They are not fighting in a war somewhere, they are not digging ditches, they are not doing construction work, they literally have people wait on them hand and foot all day, they stay in amazing hotels, they sleep in until noon, go to a venue, hang out with friends, work for 1 and a half hours every couple of nights and that's it. That is NOT work. Yes, they travel a lot and they do interviews and such. But they can do six ten-minute interviews in an hour. They can sleep on the plane. They always have their palparazzi with them, so they can have a good time too. IT IS NOT HARD WORK. They literally hang out on the beach until it's time for the gig, they visit museums and all sorts of places. They are not working twelve hours days of manual labor six days a week for barely minimum wage. They need to suck it up. They wanted this and they got it, and most people would give anything to have it, they shouldn't be complaining yet. They have barely begun. And their hangers-on friends who do NOTHING for a living except snap photos certainly have no reason to complain.
And yes, they have gone to "we don't care what anyone says" to a full PR machine. I literally just went on twitter and there is a pap video of Vic and Luna, who looks at the camera over and over because they know it's there, acting all lovey dovey for the camera. They are clearly acting MORE than they actually would in real life and someone SLOWED IT DOWN AND PUT THE SONG 'IF NOT FOR YOU' OVER IT and captioned it THESE TWO SHOW ME WHAT TRUE LOVE REALLY IS.
I mean...seriously? This is exactly what I am talking about. Fans care more about their relationships than their music. And six months from now after they break up, and someone else comes into the picture, they will be like "NOW THIS IS TRUE LOVE!". We have seen it happen multiple times already. I do not understand it. Most the time when something is real...it is kept private. That is why bands back in the day never even admitted to being in a relationship. They didn't want to expose the person they actually loved to the general public's scrutiny. That is why it made no sense when Damiano went public with Gio RIGHT WHEN THEY MADE IT BIG. That is why it made no sense that Laura made her social medias PUBLIC right when she got together with Ethan when they were private before that. So on and so on. It's all for show. They are literally showcasing their relationships for publicity and that tells me everything I need to know about those relationships.
They are about to go on tour, and we have barely heard anything about it. They haven't done any promo. Two years ago, they would have made forty-seven videos about how excited they were and posted every single day about getting to go to the VMAs, and they would have been rehearsing and trying on wild outfits and now they show up, wear the same clothes multiple nights in a row, shove their whole friend group in front of the people who made it to first row so they are forced to watch them all night, do no promo, post hardly any photos. Remember when they posted their outfits EVERY single night? Gone are those days. They are over it. They are just in the machine now. They don't even smile for fan photos anymore. I think of that day they got out of their cars and saw all those fans how excited they were and now they don't stop walking to take a photo with them. I miss them. I miss the band that was so excited. I miss the band that gave a damn about the fans. I also miss their friendship with each other. That was what made the band so unique. That is gone also.

For a while now, my friend @mammamiaskin and I have been having a conversation about Måneskin's entourage problem. 
I’m talking about that ever-present gang of decorative people who drift along in the band’s wake-- what are they, exactly?  Friends supporting friends?  Friends being supported by friends?  Groupies enjoying a free ride and soaking up the perks?  Snap-happy pal-parazzi?  Social media content providers within a larger PR apparatus?  Or all of the above?
To put it plain, I’m with @mammamiaskin when I say that the Må posse’s purpose seems increasingly questionable.  Not a single one of the scenarios listed above is outside of the realm of possibility.  It would hardly be the first time people mooched off their harder-working friends… nor would it be the thousandth time someone signed an NDA and jumped on the payroll.  And for every fan who eats up this aspirational lifestyle commercial like crème caramel, there’s another who gives it major side-eye.  Like me.
I DO want to know what the fuck is up with the Må posse.  And I DON’T think it’s conspiracy-theorizing to ask. Especially since I’m the one who has to block more and more of the band I love from my feed in order to get away from their creepy friends.
