update

nikki york, jun 8th 2020 (draft)

Deciding I’m going to be using my personal blog to sort of, journal what’s been going on, because I’ve learned a lot the past few hours that sort of. changed everything. Like, I don’t know what to do about any of this. But I usually feel better getting my thoughts on out paper so it’s worth writing this somewhere safe.

I met Daniella for the first time yesterday, they’re pretty cool; they wanted to talk to me, to begin with. Which I dunno, I thought that was neat- My credit as the “Dove Superfan” makes me a microcelebrity in a way. Turns out, their older sibling who’s been on an acting break since 2012 IS Dove.

like. Kris. The Rain Check guy.
She’s been trying to find where Kris is, for a few years- but he’d been avoiding Daniella the whole time?
I genuinely just thought that he was offline doing like. normal stuff. turns out Kris was MIA, and hasn’t talked to their family since the scandal. On top of it; He’s convinced the whole “Dove” thing is some sort of plan he’s been working on for years. Of all people to be the biggest Dove Conspiracy theorist, I’d never have guessed it was Daniella Cooke. I was always under the assumption she was just foul tempered from all the attention and not like. something like this.

I do believe them though. A year or so ago I was helping Rosie clean her office up, and I found one of Dove’s lyric drafts. I could tell it was his, I recognise his handwriting and everything- I don’t have the other pieces of it, but it seems to have been from red. Which is like. crazy. No one knows ANYTHING about red yet, not even Rosie. So I just. kept it.

It said that it was 4/14, which has to be the full tracklist. 14 is alot for a Dove album, so I was excited; I assumed he had some sort of narrative with it- But I did still find the contents a bit out of character for him? I just assumed though he was taking a more edgy route.

The song is called “Victory” according to the same scrap that mentioned the 14 tracks.

Which with their theory that Red is more than the album, I don’t know. I want to figure out what’s going on- This already insinuates a lot of what he’s said or implied about himself isn’t true.

I already feel so guilty about the lyric draft. I can’t, look at my favorite artist the same after this.
This is weird.

Anyways, I gave the draft to Daniella. This is what it said though;

cast and forged from nothing, fruits of labour make my words mean something.
they forgive but not forget, even after all you can's been bled.
yet you give and give and give until no other parts of you are left.
I took the plunge so you could take the prize, victory lives where innocence dies.


He wants to try and get his hands on the full usb, which I think is CRAZY. But I guess it would give more context to. Everything. A usb would have Dove’s demos as well, so we could hear what these sounded like anyway. Not like it’d help much- but maybe other things are on it. At least she says there would be.

I’m gonna try and keep this updated, who knows. Could be important later. I guess.
