Emma Blackery

[Elinie]

Hey everyone. I've been lurking here for a bit and chiming in now because her tweets about her new song remind me so much of a situation I was in with a friend recently. As in, Emma seems to have the same attitude as that friend of mine.

This person was incredibly toxic, she left me in so many horrible situations and constantly disregarded my boundaries or feelings. We had near constant arguments or tension going on at some point. Finally we had a big 'disagreement', to use the same word as Emma, where I finally shared in extensive detail how sick I had become of our friendship, and what behaviour was hurting me and why. She deflected everything but also promised to change.

Months later, I realized that things had stayed exactly the same, so I finally cut her out of my life. By that point it was clear she either didn't know how to change, or didn't want to, and she wasn't going to acknowledge how harmful her behaviour was. And she still has Emma's kind of narrative about it all; that I cut her out "so unexpectedly", she thought we were fine because we already "talked things out" and made up... like yeah, we "talked things out", and nothing changed?? So why wouldn't I cut you out?

I wouldn't be surprised if Emma's situation was similar, and she's also doing the "I thought everything was fine! Why can't people communicate honestly!" as a way to deflect, and not have to honestly reflect on her behaviour. Like sure, this friend might have just cut her out for no reason just because they're an mole who can't communicate, but my bet is that they had their reasons.

I’ve been on the same side of the situation as you and have gotten the same reaction from the other person, all “I thought we were good!” “She just randomly cut me out” “she just likes cutting people out of her life on a whim”, none of which were true and the other person knew it because I made my reasons and grievances quite clear when I broke off the friendship. Like you said, maybe this person in Emma’s life is just a heartless mole or whatever, but given Emma’s behavior over the years, which can be described as erratic at best, and how quickly she turns on people because they do one thing she doesn’t like (thinking back to the hamster fight with Jack Howard and Hazel Hayes), and how willing she is to publicly call out people she doesn’t like and sicc her fans on them, yeah, I’m willing to bet my favorite pair of socks that she’s the problem and deep down she knows that but she’s lying about this person “just dropping her for no reason” and them “cutting people out instead of working on themselves” to save face. Hell, all her shittalking about them on Twitter in the past couple days is doing nothing but proving to that person that they made the right choice to end their friendship.

That's so interesting, it probably is a general reaction of people like this. I was also told by this person I just "cut people out way too fast", or I'm unforgiving, or I need to learn to work things out, etc. Which is just not possible when the other person can't be honest about what they're doing, imo, but whatever.

And I agree with your point about her saving face. I would say that most people probably don't cut a friend out for no reason, so if Emma's being removed from a friend's life, there's a reason. The fact that she's presenting this as if she has no idea what happened probably proves she's the dishonest one. Because even if her friend was just being unreasonable or unfair or... believed a false rumour or whatever, Emma could say that. The "nothing was wrong" thing is such deflection.

It's kind of funny though that she's sharing this story expecting to make the other person look like some bad guy/villain, when really it just underlines (to me, anyway) how toxic she is.

Haven't seen her boyfriend in a while and I'm desperate to know if something has happened.

 

[threwoutthewindow]

Today on “Emma’s lack of self-awareness” retweets...

 

[wordzalad]

Notice how shes releasing another single…like two weeks after the last…

The desperation…she’s literally releasing as many as she can to see if they chart lmao

 

[YTZeleb23]

Or maybe write 37 songs about them.

Oh God. Here we go again.

Oh God. Here we go again.

I have to say this makes me feel world's better about my own eye makeup experiments Feels like a myspace photo from 2005 but not in the cool way Emma thinks.

 

[NeoCortex]

Makes a change for her to change look mid way through her new 'era'
Looks like the love child of Marilyin Manson and the lead singer from AFI

 

[Emilychar]

Oh God. Here we go again.

Cringe! I just cringe when I see her now, she’s like a try hard MySpace goth visiting from the year 2005.

Damn I just said the same thing and hadn’t even read your comment yet

How long until she rearranges her whole feed to have just a black and white aesthetic?

Has she not already done the customary purge of every photo from her previous phase?

Also this is probably really nitpicky but it makes me cringe when she posts all of this generic tit on Twitter as a transparent attempt to boost her engagement. She posted about respecting people's changes in pronouns the other day and it's so disingenuous coming from her. Not that I don't think she meant what she said but it's all just her scrambling for likes and clicks.

It's especially false when her every reply is her snapping at her fans and then her main tweets are all spread love not hate

 

[NeoCortex]

The more I look at the photo the more I'm convinced its definitely latter day Marilyn Manson, after all the drugs.

 

[twofacedwannabe]

when you do a look like that you don't have to have any skill or technique, it's just BLACK

 

[NeoCortex]

My main point of confusion though is why on earth is she choosing this look of all things anyway? I mean I found the last 'look' with the multiple versions of the same Fleetwood Mac shirt a bit odd, but this one takes the piss. Emma only ever, ever goes on about musicians like Hayley Williams, Lorde and Taylor Swift, so what in the jiggery pokery inspired this get up? It's like trying to be goth without knowing what goth is, or even bothering to listen to anything beyond the odd Manson/Cure track.

I mean I get it that it's to impress the boyfriend (assuming she is still with him? He must really dig the crucifix earrings, or she only has the one pair?) Or are we days away from a new video or Instagram post about how she has always listened to dark music, and this is the real her this time?

Oh God. Here we go again.

This is too tragic for it to even be funny, yikes

I’ve never seen someone who doesn’t know themselves as much as Emma Blackery. Like, she’s trying to find her personality through drastically changing her hair and makeup.

 

[wordzalad]

Emma, bestie, you don’t have to make every new look your entire personality. You can dress goth some days, glam others, sporty the next. That’s what… most adults do. She buys into fads more than my 16 year old brother

She's done it so much now, it's probably habit. She has no clue who she is.
