Dakota has created some art/writing submission page. The idea is she writes a prompt, people create “art” responding to that prompt, then she “curates” the submissions and puts them on the website to quote “give back” to her audience for making her dreams come true.

The girl is absolutely daft. She said she is going to be getting THOUSANDS OF *MONTHLY* SUBMISSIONS and posted an Instagram story a couple days ago (wish I took a screenshot) asking for advice on how to deal with the immense volume of work she is set to receive. She used the word thousands two times in the post.

Only someone with a delusionally elevated view of themself (and failure to comprehend internet engagement) would think that a project they have just announced and barely promoted will be overrun with people trying to submit new work they specially created for it.
980 of those submissions - Plz Darota, show bobs and vagene, plz i leaved a dm for u

"You know that" as if she's ever made a political statement ever. It's not like there's a rise of the far right movement happening in Europe at the moment or anything, people are so silly to have doubts! 🙄

I did not realise there was a thread of her on here but she popped up a while back on my TikTok when she had a very small following. I heard she was Aussie like me, read and wrote so in shared interests, I followed her... good grief, she is insufferable and seems to have only gotten worse! I love poetry, write myself, and really enjoy reading, but there's something about her that is so pretentious that I'm really surprised people are drawn to her content in honesty.

I wonder if she ever does anything for herself, without the need to be seen as this persona she created. I know the cringe people feel looking back on their 20s is gonna hit her hard lol.

And "Baskiett"! (Hate to agree with her but Widow Basquiat is a great book)

My first thought was that she seemed to be on something.
If you’re going to act pretentious and pretend to be intellectual why not just give pronunciations a quick google first 🫠

The absolute audacity to slap her cheap word salad over those genuine works of art… the ego on this woman knows no bounds…

There’s no way she’d know how to speak German and not make sure everyone knew about it at all times lol

Is she hooking up with Jack Edwards?? They've been posting a lot of content together on TikTok...I used to like Dakota when her channel seemed earnest but now she seems trapped by living an "aesthetic" lifestyle and it comes across as try-hard and disingenuous.

Also annoying when she always mentions the fact that she's a classic literature major in every.single.video...like sis we get it, you're an "evolved reader" lol. Her whole schtick seems very contrived.
The constant mention of her degree makes me laugh as well because the books she recommends are so basic... All the pretension with none of the actual good taste.... Other literature studying booktubers like Emmie have WAY better well rounded recommendations, while Dakota probably still thinks recommending The Picture of Dorian Grey is some groundbreaking move.

But yeah it really seems like they're together, which is so baffling.

No words omg.
The ex-Catholic thing is so forced. We see the accounts you follow on Instagram honey. You’re not ex-anything.

She’s not special either, Catholic guilt is a very common phenomenon and being ex-Christian in general is common. Many ex-Christians actually write good stuff about their trauma…she writes like an edgy 13 year old on Tumblr.

Her recent tiktok just came up on my fyp and i had to see if she had a thread 😂 Look i'm all for tearing down over-consumption but how pretentious can you be? People are just taking inspiration from you and enjoy the clothes/makeup you wear. No need to be a bitch about it. "I just want to read you a poem" lordddd i have no idea how she survived in australia
also her style is hardly unique, 90% of girls doing the same degree as me dress just like her just walk into a charity shop, shove a jumper on over a short dress and viola. At least have some self awareness "I don't want to encourage consumerism but my books and buy through my affiliate links"

She has such an elitist vibe. I never see her reading recently published books which imo is essential if you want to be published (but then if she sticks to poetry I guess it's less important). The gothic genre has been having a resurgence lately so the fact she can't name a single one is truly embarrassing for her.

Please do lol. This is seeming more like a devil’s advocate page than a snark page at the moment. I definitely skipped through a bunch of the vid, which is why the quantity of mispronunciations she managed to pack in is so impressive.

If she spoke any language other than English even at a low level, you can trust she would be bashing us over the head with “As a bilingual,” in every other video.

Instead her refrain alternates between “As a writer,” “As an artist,” “As a creative,” “As a literature student.”

The fact that she keeps referring to herself as an “artist” is hilarious.
She could not pronounce the name of a German author, thus definitely does not speak German:

She appeared to mispronounce precarious at around 18:35.

"I trust your opinion very highly" just seems off.

The one that was the most infuriating was how she said macabre :ROFLMAO:

Here's a small compilation of Dakota's posts referencing milk on Instagram during the last month. Oh, I might have missed some. Multiple people have warned her about milk being widely used as nazi/white supremacist dog whistle on social media these days but it seems she just has to keep making posts about it because she looooooooves milk so much!!! And she makes sure to always pose with it alongside her rich white "trad yet apolitical" European friends. Not a great look.

Tbh i dont know about milk dog whistle, all im thinking about is how that milk in july heat prpbably makes all of their breaths stink to high heavens
---
Im just watching her latest vlog and she keeps saying "im just a girl", "this is my girl fridge" and stuff like that. Dakota you are a 25 year old woman who (hopefully) pays taxes. Stop acting like ruby granger and let go of the "im just a girl" trend i beg of you

I guess cats don't really fit the tortured-poet-female-rage-"sapphic"-pomegranate-cannibalism-as-a-metaphor-for-love-the-secret-history-ballet-core-cigarettes-60's-lolita aesthetic.
And the cats actually fit that aesthetic so well?
I agree i wouldnt be able to seperate from my pet permanently as well. The pet becomes a part of your soul in my case.

I know it might be just me but the way her boyfried and her friends dress reminds me of some "traditional european conservative monarchist" men we have here in brazil who are just the worst most mysoginist and racist men ever, it just gives me the ick, especially after experiencing some extreme xenophobia in Italy...
