Olivia Gatwood - "Alternate Universe" (VOX POP '17)

[@Ilikefrogs..]

"The man tells me who he is, and I listen. I have so much beautiful time." Words to live by.

[@jennahferriera7814]

GwendolynRaine can you please explain it to me?

[@cecilongoria2223]

I love how the entire poem she referred to them as boys, at the end when the guy is actually doing the mature and right thing, she refers to him as a man

[@Chris951021]

It is actually a reflection of herself having matured enough to not get fazed about these things. She is mature now, and has now become unfazed to the point that she does not refer to the man as a boy because she is fazed by what he has done.

[@lyka57]

"The boy does not ask if he can choke me so I pretend to die while we're doing it." BRILLIANT!!!! SNAPS ALL OVER

[@yazudbrito-milian2928]

I love the facial expressions of the person behind her @ m e

[@leynalouise5329]

Yazud Brito same here

[@sedrarajaonarivelo1766]

I was looking for this comment hahaha

[@angelicaa6196]

this video has been a part of my life for years. i can never get tired of it, it got me through a breakup by repeating “the man tells me he does not love me, and he does not love me”

[@briannamillar1216]

I love the brutality in this poem and the way it mirrors how small we will make ourselves so men can fill the room. They are both exaggerated and it reminds me that there are others options than being "a good little girl".

[@lautittv]

I'm a simple guy, I see Olivia Gatwood, I click

[@rangelyrangel9295]

same

[@princesstarah2]

I love the vibe of the hidden eyes and the red lipstick for this poem. It's so powerful

[@egesukari4758]

The 14 dislikes are the boy she’s talking about and his family

[@katherinevelasquez6326]

I can't stop looking at the person in the background lmao

[@Theywannaencore]

Katherine Ledezma omg same

[@sparrowwestlake7267]

Same

[@SooryaRajesh]

I love this, I love her attitude and her diction. Brilliant.

[@rebeckastark1056]

"I have so much beautiful time"

[@pranitanaskar5938]

Can you please explain that part? I didn't get it

[@jasemkhoori]

@@pranitanaskar5938 she doesn't have to waste her time being "fazed" by that person who doesn't love her back.

[@sarahr6276]

Ive listened to this poem do many times bc it has gotten me through a lot of dark periods so I can literally mouth it along with her but it's sooo cool to see other ppls initial reactions😂 i love how they're all stunned it's amazing

[@kassss1244]

I LOVE the facial expressions of the person behind her. I love how you can tell that they are listening to the words and understanding I just love it

[@shinywetangel]

one of my favorite poems by her

[@bayliedawn7701]

Well I have a new favourite poem

[@elliemay9211]

Watched this twice to take in all the creativity and passion

[@gloriaodekunle]

Amazing

[@gloriaodekunle]

😉

[@tarazeelenberg2002]

this could possibly be my favourite poem of all time... she is amazing.

[@joyces5415]

My queen

[@katerinasocorro3889]

I seriously need you to come to the Philippines PLEASE

[@c.a.dickens5602]

[@oliviapayne3978]

WOMEN AND MEN SUPPORTING WOMEN AND MEN I LOVE THIS

[@AllEclectic]

there is a reason why this video has no dislikes 👍😄

[@AllEclectic]

ew

[@siobhansalter6641]

PHILL SHIVELY she never said she hates men and of course that is all you got from that poem. Men like you are why we need feminism and men like you just prove us right everyday.

[@hanabanana8028]

actually, she was talking about the boy(s) who toyed with her and tried to shape her in their image. if you got to the end she said she had a great time with the man who told her who he was (instead of try to push his standard of beauty onto her).

[@majocalle7660]

I'm in love with this poem

[@deliamennitti1948]

If you right click twice you can put it on loop

[@oliviapetris6689]

Thanks ;)

[@frankieraudnitz8464]

Person behind her is lowkey in love

[@danieljgore1]

There is a strong feminist thread in here -- and it's a great kind of feminism that uplifts human agency, is imaginative. This poem is speaking to my condition, too, and the ways I wait for others to affirm me rather than investing in myself. Some people... well, I don't even need to say it because Olivia already has.

[@nikitaforde2789]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ this is amazing

[@lama8190]

[@lareinaqueeniegarcia2874]

To the 15 that disliked it please explain to me why??.. What did u hate about this, what is wrong with it ,like WHYYYYY???

[@siobhansalter6641]

Lareina queenie Mudau she's a powerful woman who uses art to express herself so they are threatened by that.

[@pmccann5811]

Fuck yes.

[@joshaunacollier1945]

I anit understand it Completely. Can someone explain for me...

[@theblondebirdgirl392]

I didn't know Olivia invented baseball caps

[@meanttobe3872]

Can someone please explain the end for me?

[@antemeridian.220]

she's listing all the things she would do with the time she spent crying over these men, all the other people she could give her "beautiful time" to in this alternate universe instead of trying to change a man or make him love her

[@meanttobe3872]

Oh it makes so much more sense now. thank you.

[@hanabanana8028]

i needed that explanation as well

[@sparrowwestlake7267]

So good! Does anyone know who the girl in the background is?

[@eavesDropSound]

Would I be misogynistic to say she FINE AF??

[@aurorabowman1668]

The girl in the corner is so me

[@deIcorazon]

oh my god…. she’s unreal

[@linklink1628]

;-)

[@reneenicolepowell198]

jesus

[@makaylafrost4411]

The girl in the corner is ME

[@ritch2336]

Me And My girlfriend have noticed she was clearly getting excited throughout the video... her nipples legit inflate about 60%

[@fandomrapper3724]

Some of these are fucked up pranks.

[@bellaguerriero4094]

H

[@bearablepain592]

Painful.

[@johnbaker7397]

Weird

[@RagnarokMic]

How is period sex being gross even something to be bothered by? Weird thing to drop in there with otherwise pretty reasonable offenses, other than the one about preferring blondes, you can't fault a person for their preferences.

[@squirrelchaser21]

All forms of rejection.

[@siobhansalter6641]

It wasn't about him preferring blondes, it's about the fact that he keeps trying to change her and in the alternate universe, she refuses to change for him. Not liking period Sex is fine, but don't make a woman feel disgusted by something her body does that she cannot control.
