[@iamyourlightbulb9185]

for any of those confused about the heads.. So Melanie had a pet bunny and a pet dog, and her parents decided she couldn’t keep both of them. So Melanie chose to keep the dog. Then, she gave her bunny away to a friend who also had a bunny. The friend assumed they’d get along, so they left for a while and left both bunnies together. Upon coming back, the friends bunny was fine in the yard, but Melanie’s bunny was decapitated. This is seen in Dollhouse too. She has a tattoo of her bunny as memory.

[@anything_main]

Thank you, Mel. You've helped me express myself. I go to a school that denies me basic rights as a human being and lets people beat me up. I get sent to detention for holding protests against cruel treatment. I have an IEP, so the school likes to pretend I don't have the ability to make decisions and I don't know what bulling is and it's a result of my neurodivergence. I have a very high IQ and very high amplitude scores. I am literally sent into legal problems for things that are normal at my school. I hold sit in protests to fight the violence and bring attention to the issues. Thank you for giving me the motivation to continue my sit in protests in the front office.

To anyone confused to why she's dancing in a glass cage.... Basically its like being in detention. Your being humiliated infront of your classmates and being put on display for everyone to watch, also when being in detention you feel like your trapped in a cage

[@rugvedabagwe7720]

Her songs have a very baltant social commentary, which she protrays through these colourful sets and actors wearing colourful clothes; this is because that's how the world is always shown and the idea of a better world sold to is through media. But nobody notices the harsh, passive reality underlining it. Melanie Martinez captures that perfectly through her lyrics, and her voice kind of haunts the lyrics. Very unique artist!!!!!

she used to have a pet bunny (it's also in the dollhouse MV) which she had to give away since she adopted a dog and her parents won't let her keep both. It was given to one of her relatives who already had a rabbit so they thought they'll both get along with each other. one day her relatives left for like 3-4 hours with the rabbits both together and when they returned they found their rabbit in their neighbour's backyard also mel's decapitated rabbit's head in their own backyard. she also has a tattoo in memory of her pet bunny
