Analysis>
Victoria and Katherine are forcing my hand, here. I need to analyze all of this and take stock of our relationships before Trust comes out. Seriously- I have to, and I know they know this, too, since they know me so well. So it’s like… yeah, okay then. I’ll play their game. I mean, I might not win, lol, but… I’ll play, too.
Okay. Kat, the KitKatsMeow. It’s been fun and wonderful watching her grow up and guiding her through life, her career, and everything else. Her acting career is varied and interesting. Clary, and Disney, and Mia, and Julie, and everything else- see my post here where I talked about her and the Tom Sawyer movie. I’ve had a blast shaping her into what she needed to be, and I know she loved every (*ahem*) second of it. I’ve turned her into a star. She’s so far evolved now from her early days that she’s hardly recognizable, except in spirit- which means I grew her the right way.
The key here is that she’s happy, obviously, and confident, etc. She makes good music and has good social media presence and provides plenty of well done photoshoots. She’s excellent on the red carpet and great in interviews; she kicks ass. Great actress, pleasant personality, and a very good singer- her rather unfortunate dearth of music videos notwithstanding.
But yes we have a good “thing” her and I. An excellent thing. A relationship that, as good as it has been, has even more potential now than it used to, possibly. The sky is the limit between us. … kinda. I mean, you know. These things are… complicated. Mostly. You know.
We’ll see.
Now- Victoria. Our relationship had a slow burn, at first. Katherine’s adorableness in her demo reel instantly rocketed her into the upper tier. With Victoria, her looks were so shockingly good that I initially held off a bit. Think of it as “Jennifer Connelly syndrome”. Katherine, being so young, was “cute” and had potential. Victoria came out of the box (for me) as something possibly completed already.
Example: Katherine had just started with Disney when I met her. Victoria had already completed all 4 seasons of Zoey 101 with Jamie Lynn Spears by the time we found each other.
So, I got to know Victoria a bit, but… held off with portions of my… soul(?) until I saw more of what she could do, potentially. Portions. Not big portions, I mean, but portions.
I did make a big deal about being with her before her 18th birthday, back when I found such things important.
As it turns out I shouldn’t have worried. Victoria’s social media game is phenomenal. She has an easy affability that made talking to her a breeze on places like twitter, back when I still checked those things. See- she uses social media as an advertising tool of course, but not to the detriment of her personality and relatableness. There’s a soul there, not just ads, politics and trailers.
She’s also, uhm, pretty. lol.
Her music game is very strong, with a bunch of good music videos with moods and styles that range from fun, to mysterious, to romantic and sexy, to the outright cute. Photoshoots galore of all different kinds from many years, many thousands of great social media pics and videos, and dozens (hundreds?) of notable and glamourous red carpet appearances make her a standout girlfriend without question.
She’s cute, nice, and… a great singer, honestly. She’s not as popular as her Victorious co-star Ariana Grande but… I like her music, a lot. It hits me in that “spot”, IDK.
Interviews with her are always fun and worth a watch. Her pap game hovers around “above average to very good”, so it isn’t close to Lucy Hale levels, but it’s overall a mark in her favor. She’s given me a variety of looks and styles over the years. Classy looks, casuals, bikini pics and dresses, workout gear, etc. It’s a good collection.
Her acting career is good. We made Victorious, her and I, and Victorious is fucking awesome. Eye Candy was good, I thought. And… her other movies were good to me, probably because that’s how and why they were made, lol.
Uhm… so… Katherine’s acting career is certainly stronger, overall. As much as I like Victorious it doesn’t seem to have resonated with the general public as much as Shadowhunters. I think that Katherine’s People’s Choice award is sufficient proof of that. Of the two, Katherine has, possibly, more star potential in the old ways of looking at celebrity. In the new ways- I think Victoria is slightly stronger, but only slightly, and only then in certain situations. I mean, her twitter is better than Katherine’s, but I’m not sure about her instagram, overall.
Victoria’s music career is obviously stronger than Katherine’s. And I mean that, seriously. People tend to rag on Victoria’s music career, mostly because they seem to have a psychological need to compare her to Ariana Grande, as if not having as good of a music career as the biggest pop star on Earth is some kind of failure. Ridiculous. I mean- just compare Victoria’s music video career with Katherine’s one, solitary music video from that low budget TV movie she did way back then. I mean, seriously, people. And this is not even counting the stuff she did in show in Victorious. And now I think that with this analysis that Katherine’s acting career and Victoria’s music career probably cancel each other out, leaving a wash.
And if you think I’m being too hard on Katherine, here, note that Olivia Holt was able to star in a Marvel TV show that didn’t seem to slow down her music or music video video output any, at all. But, that’s another story.
Victoria’s pap game has been better than Katherine’s. So, there’s that. But- Katherine wins awards, as I just mentioned. I mean, they’re not Oscars, but… it still adds up. Victoria hasn’t, yet. I mean, she got those ensemble awards with the Zoey 101 cast, but… yeah, not the same thing.
So… yeah, this is brutally tough. I’m again at a junction where I’m not sure I should go. You could make a case for either, really. It almost depends on my mood today.
Hmmmn. Yeah, I don’t know.
I have been with Victoria longer than Katherine, but that hardly seems like Katherine’s fault. I was filling out my Victoria directory as far back as 2008, which was two years before the aptly titled Matchmaker Mary. And- the relationship between Victoria and me wasn’t even that strong back then anyways, as I summarized above. It was mostly a “look and see” kinda thing at first, and only a little more significant than how I knew about Katherine for a year or two before dating her for the first time.
So it’s kinda… hmmmn. Well… hmmn.
Hmmmn.
Well… maybe… Victoria? Maybe? Kinda?
Maybe?
I mean I know that I’m supposed to be confident about this stuff but I’m not sure of this one, either.
Well…
Katherine’s IMDB page has more stuff in it coming up, but Victoria gave me that music video the other day. I mean, the song wasn’t necessarily better than the one Katherine gave me for Valentine’s Day this year, but there was a video to go with it- and the video, if you haven’t seen it, is seriously very good. It’s fun, mysterious, romantic, sexy, and not at all what you would get from a typical, run of the mill pop video. And it’s personal to us both, while being intellectually interesting, legitimately. But… I don’t know. Katherine’s IMDB page is so… interesting, in it’s own right. So… uhmmn… neither?
Nah, can’t do that. That or “both” would be a cop out.
Yeah, so… Victoria, then, and honestly it probably is just because I’ve been with her longer. I mean… this is by the hair on a sliver, here, lol.
Ah, who am I kidding, lol. Victoria wins because I have seen her boobs, and that does indeed slightly edge her out over Katherine, I think. Yes; I truly am that shallow, lol.
So, uh… yeah. There you go. I hope I don’t regret this one, lol. I mean, not that I would since… oh yeah, it’s THEIR fault that I’m even doing this in the first place! Yeah. So- it’s their fault, not mine. I mean, if they wouldn’t have made this… situation, so PUBLIC then I wouldn’t even need to be doing this. I mean, it’s not that I didn’t want them to, but… you know what I mean, right? Right. I mean, I know what I mean. I mean, mostly. Right.
So, yeah. If anything bad comes out of this I think we all know who to blame, then. Right?
Right.
So there.
