#MelanieMartinez #PORTALS
People say this new album is so different from the others but it still give off the classic Mel vibes like the others. It has the weird vibes like always and that’s why I love Mel and their songs
If anything i like this album better already not to be rude to the other albums but they are all good but this is more of my taste
it is so different than the others. there’s no more crybaby
It's different because she's trying to break away to something new. Different from crybaby.
People always have something to say
@@gothic4151 who is the man in your pfp from?👀
i lost my best friend to cancer last year, melanie was her favorite singer and now i have a feeling that she is singing this song to me like she is back from the death, it hurts like hell, but that's life.
I’m sorry for your loss:( my boyfriend passed last year and he loved Melanie as well. I feel the same exact way you do and trust me, she’s with you. I hope you heal❤️🩹
Wish you both love, peace and newfound joy. Death is not the end & you will meet again one day 🤍🙏
im so sorry for your loss :( my best friend passed as well and melanie was his favorite artist and i know he would've loved this album. i hope you heal very soon angel ❤
Sorry for ur crybabyloss and i hope u will see ur friend in ur dreams and always go to ur friends grave
That’s so beautiful. I’m so sorry that happened to you. ❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't expect Cry Baby died a year ago...
You made me laugh
The fact that this song starts with the word ‘death’ and Womb starts with ‘life’ is such a cool detail
I never noticed that- that’s a cool detail- props to Mel 💕
Oh right
yes, Mel is a genius!!!
womb starts with "I", wdym " life"
@@szyszkazlasuThey mean the "life is death is life is death" that WOMB has at the end of the song. In Death that Chain starts with "Death" whereas in Womb the chain starts with "Life"
THIS is what I call a Comeback!! I’ve never been disappointed by this lady
Say it louder for the peeps in the back! 😎😤✊
Is it just me or is this like the perfect song for her comeback??? A song that's topic is being back from the dead and being alive again is just so perfect for her comeback from her break. SO GOOD AS ALWAYS, MELANIE!!!!
why do i agree so much to this comment? 🤩👽🧚♀️🦋😭😻👑💫🌼
YES LITERALLY I AM OBSESSED!!!!
On repeat for sure
AGREED. AS SOON AS I SAW IT WAS OUT I RUSHED TO HEAR IT
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which which ye are also saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Corinthians 15:1-4
facts: the song is very calming.

@@s.0.d.a. ohh lol
I have to admit, the character she uses is both terrifying, unsettling, and the most mythical thing i've ever seen. I'm so proud of the development you've gone through Melanie. It makes me so happy to see just how far you've come. Thank you, for everything
I think the character is unsettling but pretty at the same time
character she uses?? wdym?
@@Sir_Sheep The way she dresses, it looks like a character. The pink multi-eyed lady. It doesn't look human, more like a mythical thing. And it's beautiful in an inhuman way!
@@pegasuspassionit’s like looking at a biblically accurate angel.
so true 👍
Okay, but just imagine the music video for this. It’s going to be PHENOMENAL.
It would be perfect
when is it coming out?
@@ok-zi7bj i think march 31
@@claradenisse1111 are you sure? i saw someone people saying that its gonna be released today but im not sure when
@ok-zi7bj yeah I thought the music video was gonna be released it's just the audio. The album will release in 31st.
Been listening to the perils of Crybaby since I was 14 (I’m 22 now). Don’t think I’ve ever cried this hard over the loss of a character, this song captures the grieving of Crybaby and the joy of her rebirth. Even though I’m heartbroken I’m overjoyed, it’s such a beautiful complexity of emotions. Crybaby eased the pain of my youth, and she will continue to in the next life. Truly a phenomenal song and I cannot wait to hear the album in its entirety! 🫶🫶🫶💗💗💗
SAME 😭 you said it so eloquently
genuinely 🥺🥺
crybaby will always have a place in our hearts 🫶🏻🫶🏻
yes!!!🧚🏾♀️🦋
Literally same, from 14 to 22, helped me through my worst moments. I'm ready
One year ago today 😭🫶
Time flies so fast🥹
Y’all don’t understand how much this made my whole life like Melanie is genuinely one of the most healing people I know y’all better be streaming this bop 💕✨🧚♀️
I couldn’t agree more. The joy I felt when I saw the notification. She’s truly blessing us. 🧚♀️💕
finally, a comment I can understand
I agree her music helped me in the darkest part of my life and I've grown up to her music and I have my hair literally split dyed like she used to have because she's my biggest inspiration
melanie raised me

I no longer fear death because of this album
REAL
She's evolved so much from her previous two albums styles, I can't wait for the rest! Her music is perfection. I hope she realizes how huge of a positive impact her music has on everyone who listens and takes in the meanings.
really hoping she gets the recognition she deserves with this release 🥺🌟
yes
Yes Melanie songs are so amazing 💗💗💗
english : she’s already been noticed by billie eillish , jenna ortega , and madison beer and many more artists . she also might get into grammys because she’s been getting recognition she needs spanish : Ya la han notado Billie Eilish, Jenna Ortega, Madison Beer y muchos más artistas. ella también podría entrar en los grammys porque ha estado recibiendo el reconocimiento que necesita
I love this new era
Melanie keeps outdoing herself EVERYTIME ! The visuals, the creativity, the storyline, the vocals, the immaculate vibes etc etc So proud of you !
Yeah it's amazing how she gets better and better
@@fruitystarstar949 they're growing as a person and an artist :)
F melanie, billie eilish on top
@@tyronebigblackcock4804they're not even comparable..
@@tyronebigblackcock4804 If you don't like a certain artist, don't hate on them by posting comments, literally no one cares about your opinion
I want to take a moment and talk about this new era of Melanie's. First off I want to say Melanie hasn't "changed". Melanie is the same person she's always been, her character Cry Baby has just evolved. Second the music this era is maybe the most authentic music we've gotten from Melanie as it is self produced. If you simply don't like the new sound/look that is completely fine, you can go back and listen to/watch the songs from her previous albums, they aren't gone. If you are a fan of Melanie you will respect her decision to create the type of art she wants to create 🧚🏼♀️💗
AGREED
Only thing I disagree with how she handled this metamorphosis on her actual youtube channel. Changing the thumbnails to the same "RIP crybaby" makes it hella hard to try and rewatch anything besides her new stuff. And the comments are all turned off. So much history of early fan interactions gone.
@@TheSucculentLesbian I get it but like, you can just look at the titles? Also All of her comments were turned off before her metamorphosis i think.
@@mikudayo_biggest_fan3939 I know that, honestly its not too big of a deal, its just a little sad to see the thumbnails go 😥
I’m sure the old thumbnails will return after this era is over; I can’t see why they would stay. Unless it’s to really put emphasis on CryBaby’s death, but that kind of long term decision seems… jarring say the least, for fans and new listeners after the Portals era will end.
One year of DEATH ⚰️💗✨️
I will always get chills at "My body has died, but im still alive." The beat, the visuals, the lyrics, every thing is just perfection.
Just a straight copy of Grimes, the voice, the visuals. Music too. Pfff
@@greensslime Who's Grimes? Never heard of her.🤷🏻♀️ But okay.
@@ScreamingAtTheTopOfMyLungsWho is this "Grimes" they speak of 🤷?

@@caleb_16 just use Google. 🙂
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. the way the creature is rising up from melanies body is so majestic. This new concept has a cute creepy feeling and its so great. I'll miss crybaby but as it says in the lyrics youre still the same just a different form
Yeah👍🌟🤩
she sings,she acts,she writes her own music and lyrics,she gave us new character and new story behind it,only thing i can say ab Melanie is that she is PURE PERFECTION AND WE NEED TO SUPPORT HER AND HER ART AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO YALL STREAM PORTALS SO HARD TO SHOW MELANIE THAT WE LOVE HER!!!🌬🕯🤍💐
no one's pure perfection. not u not me not ur parents or friends. we just humans on a floating rock.

The lyrics are wrong
@@awerokhaya is it?
The lyrics are not wrong bro 😊
Yeah it's correct😩👌
I searched it up, and this means she's back, but she's changed. So therefore metaphorically, her old self has 'died' and now she's back from the 'dead'. Her years of being inactive from Singing has changed her, and gave her a new perspective of life. This is a message to the fans that she's back, and ready to Slay again 💅
omg you have a real talent to say the obvious
@@robinkael The fact that it's also a message to fans isn't exactly obvious, but I know, I have such talent 😌💅💅

@@tvanhowl Melanie is in her Taylor Swift era and as a Swiftie i love to see it
This album means so much to me, I’ve been listening to her since she started music and I told my cousin about her and I was disappointed that she didn’t have much songs yet but I was excited to watch her make new songs and potentially grow big one day. a few years later my cousin got me some of her merch for my birthday and I was so excited and we listened to all her new albums together and talked and talked about them. My cousin passed way 9/17/22 and she won’t be here to listen to Melanie’s new album with me this time but I hope when it releases I can listen in her honor and cherish the memories that Melanie’s music has brought to me with my cousin and be thankful for how much closer it made us. Thank you Melanie for giving me memories to forever hold onto in my heart. 💗
Shit😭 RIP to your cousin, I’m sure she will be listening too over our shoulder lol 💖
R.I.P To your cousin ❤️🕊️
May she rest in peace, but I’m sure she’s proud of you
RIP to your cousin, she will be listening from above :]
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢 Love that this album can refresh those memories for you ❤️

I love this song, even more so now. My cat died yesterday, she was my baby, my old lady cat, my best friend ever since I was 6 years old. She’s gone now, and I’ve been listening to this a lot, to think she’s somehow still here with me. The wounds still fresh, but I know she’s not in pain anymore, it haunts me because I had to watch it happen, but she gets to rest now. ❤ I know it’s morbid, but we all die one day.❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my turtle 3 years ago and I know what it's like, know that he will always be with you.
Some don’t understand that when artists say growth, this is what it means. Such a masterpiece! 🧚♀️😭🥰 the music is amazing. Her music and story is evolving through the years but nothing changed. Melanie is still Melanie and her songs are still a piece of art. Thank you for your existence Melanie 💓
Melanie comes out with this a month after my little sister passes from a car wreck. I hope she knows how much she heals through her art, because I just cried to these lyrics and laughed because this is what my sister would totally say to me. She’s not dead, she’s just transformed.
I'm sorry for you're loss
I’m so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss, that must have been tough. . .
Sorry for ur loss hunny
I hope you’re ok💞
MELANIES THOUGHTS ON THE SONG- I usually have titles picked out early on in the conceptual phase of an album before even writing anything. This one was a must, and I just wasn't getting it right anytime I tried writing it with other people. One day, I sat in the portal room alone and started singing melodies. I heard a spirit with a completely different tone than mine repeat a melody I had sung out loud in the silence and it sent a chill down my body. I was really scared at first, then continued on, using that moment as confirmation from the other side. I laid down the chords after hours of searching through Omnisphere for an instrument that would reverberate through my soul. I added a simple drum loop in the chorus (that was later replaced by production from my favorite collaborator CJ Baran, as well as live drums from Ilan Rubin of Nine Inch Nails - who also put drums down for a couple of other songs.) When I was done writing the song, that same day I played it for my best friend of 22 years who is like my sister. She had just experienced multiple losses in her family. While she was listening on headphones, tears rolled through. The song ended, she looked at me and said "that's the one."
i dont know why but everytime ive decided to play this song right when melanie starts singing i can feel myself tearing up. i cant tell if its because i know ill miss crybaby or if theres some other reason but i love the emotion this song gives me
Literally me!! 😢🤚 We’ll all miss Crybaby ❤

Exactly! Its actually about crybaby and the end of K-12 how she went through the portal and died but she is immortal so now she has another life as a fae like creature
I AGREE 🙌🏾💗
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:55-57

I've already listened twice. I'm so hyped up for this one. Hearing crybabies heartbeat stop in the beginning signaling her rebirth is everything. This is beautiful & the drop was unexpected but absolutely adds that spice that makes an already amazing song even better somehow! 🕯️💗
Me too, I listened to it once here and once on Spotify. This song is so good I love it!!!

Agreed
i love the way she created the visual with her new being coming out of crybaby’s body. its so creative. i love how meaningful and powerful her lyrics are. it gives a new meaning to death almost like it’s a beautiful thing and that we shouldn’t be scared of death as it is part of life and everything dies eventually. its so good and i love it. i can’t wait for the video and the album itself ❤

3 days after PORTALS dropped, my aunt passed away. She was very close family, closer than the average aunt. We were on the way to vacation when it happened, and all I can recall is tears running down my face like a faucet, while DEATH screamed in my ear. This song saved me, and revitalized my views on life and death. I know she will probably never see this, but thank you Mel. You truly bring beauty to the darkest parts of our existence.
Oh I'm sorry it hurt me
I have a feeling that Portals is going to change me. LAtely ive needed something to make me happy and this song is one i can relate to being as its a mix from life to death. Thank you Melanie, because even when we were happy with ur old music, you decided to make more💗💗💗💗💗💗
Same tho, i always were so afraid of death, i feel like Portals is gonna heal that entirely

I'm not a Melanie fan, but when I listened to the full song for the first time... OMFG WHAT A MASTERPIECE Now it's hard to defeat my new favorite #1 track of all albums I ever listened to.
•Lyrics• [Intro] Death is life is death is life is death is life is [Verse 1] They're carvin' my name in the grave again The flowers are fresh and their faces wet My body has died, but I'm still alive Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead Lightin' all your candles to draw me in Sayin' all the same things, I'm gone this time Your words mean nothin', so take 'em back And meet me here across the plane The other side, I'm not far [Pre-Chorus] When you aren't around, I sink into the ground I try to pretend I'm closer to you Never understand it You're always on my mind, I cannot help it I don't wanna be carryin' the weight on my shoulders Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure Immortal by design I'll be meetin' you here every time [Chorus] Back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the (I'm back) [Post-Chorus] (I'm back) (I'm back) (Death, death, death) (I'm back) (Death, death) (I'm back) [Verse 2] They're sayin' my name in their prayers again I flicker the lights so they understand I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side We're screamin' and pleadin', this separation ends Doin' all your witchcraft to pull me in Burnin' all your sage to connect our line I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts I try to talk, the barriers are too strong [Pre-Chorus] When you aren't around, I sink into the ground I try to pretend I'm closer to you Never understand it You're always on my mind, I cannot help it I don't wanna be carryin' the weight on my shoulders Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure Immortal by design I'll be meetin' you here every time [Chorus] Back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead [Bridge] Please don't ever worry (Back from the dead, back from the dead) (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) I know it's morbid (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) But we all die one day (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) [Chorus] I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)

Lol thank you sm

This really hits me hard. Melanie’s music has helped me through tough times all throughout middle and high school. And after a few years later, she has finally come back.🦋✨💕
YESS IM SO HAPPY 😁 I’m so grateful to see her in this new era ❤️

Even all the way from The Voice, her vocals still make my skin crawl with goosebumps. Thank you for releasing amazing music that speaks my twisted mind.

Lets stream it to 9M❤
Melanie turns every song she makes into a experience. This is no different. I cannot wait for the whole album to be released!

the way she changed all the thumbnails of everything to rip crybaby and made a comeback saying she’s back from the death is so amazing
1:41 sounds so ethereal, I don’t even know how to describe the emotions I feel when I hear this part but it makes me teary eyed every time.
Listenign to this with heapdhones gives me literal chills.
stream music video!🤍🕯
the subtlety of the cheeriness in the creepy aura as well as the visual art is so fitting, re imagining her afterlife as a form of a fairyesque spirit rather than a ghost... add to that her beautifully well sculpted lyrics and her iconic voice, it's truly going to be a remarkable return when she comes up with a whole new album complimenting this era!
Its been almost a year since portals anouncement my god time flies 😳
I need ideas to celebrate
Guys its now been a year!! What the hell! I literally remember almost crying of happiness when she came back! 😭😭

This was very helpful tysm!!!
This song is truly amazing. Wolves howl to communicate with others, and you can hear a wolf howl in the background meaning she wants to communicate with living. Crybaby is no longer alive, but Melanie Martinez chooses to celebrate death as something natural and not something to be afraid of.
Yes. Nobody in the comments seems to care about the themes of this song or the upcoming era but it's clear Melanie is in some kind of spiritualism and witchcraft moment and I love it. I feel like this album is going to be all about souls, witchcraft, integrating your shadow, etc. I love that she says clearly into mysticism and is incorporating these themes into her work. It feels so reinvigorating and fresh and like a healthy interesting evolution for her. Like she's taken stock of her life and career and regrouped to take complete control of her experiences and narrative.
@@KaiInMotion as someone who is into witchcraft and is spiritual, I love it so much.
@@KaiInMotion I know right. It’s so exciting. It makes me want to learn more about mysticism, spirituality, the universe, and everything else. I’ve been feeling more interested about that for a few months. Idk what’s happening but it’s new.
She always looks at something in a different way
Wolves?
Best opener ever
I WENT TO THE CONCERT IN BERLIN TODAY! IT WAS AMAZING AND I HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE 😍😭🫶🏻 LOVE U MELANIE
I'm so happy. This album couldn't come out at a more perfect time. Her last album saved me and this one will as well. Mel has always been my biggest inspiration and will continue to be. I love her and everything she stands for. This is truly the start of a new Era. Not only for her, but for a lot of us as well.
I'm with you!! Mel is so healing and filling. Bless
As a writer, I appreciate how Mel designs all her songs around the character, Crybaby. This whole experience has been one huge story. With that said, I think it’s interesting and important to note that Mel released a short promo video showing Crybaby’s grave and released this song before her album drops on the 31. Crybaby has clearly died, opening up a whole new adventure in the storyline. Freaking genius!!!❤
@@MissEzi yeah it was hinted at at the end of k12
@@MissEzi exactly. I just love how everything she does surrounds this one character and all her experiences, the good, bad, and ugly. Even dead, Crybaby lives on in a new enchanting world. Lol
I just watched the movie again. I love how portals intertwines with K-12. Crybaby always explained that she’s never scared of death. I love how this song intertwines with that meaning. Another thing I love is the fact that Melanie always has a story with her music. It’s not just music, it’s a whole series. It gives us something to theorize about while we don’t have that much information. I really do hope we get another movie with portals. It would be such an amazing sequel with K-12. Love you Mel
The “im back” GIVES ME CHILLS
Seeing how far she’s come from 2014 makes me tear up 🥹 I grew up with Melanie and never once hated her ANY of her songs 👏🏽 I LOVE YOU MEL DON’T STOP BEING YOU 👑
bro literally
I don't know what is it with Melanie's music. Im not obsessed like that, I don't have a Stan account, I don't make fan transition videos, i don't watch a million clips, interviews, insta stories... I don't feel parasocially attached to her at all. But whatever she puts out new music, it connects exactly to what I'm going through or feeling currently in my life. The first time I listened to this it felt like an out of body experience, tears running down my face, felt like my chest was ripping open. It happened with her old music as well. It's incredible. I don't know how to describe it. I feel my feelings getting more intense, and i can see them clearly, like when you get high when you are already emotional.
Interessing, kinda the same from me .
billlie better ong
6 months of PORTALS ⚰️💗
3:48 Don’t mind me, Just timestamping my fav part.
Cool
I'm already feeling like this is going to be my favorite album, the aesthetic, the lyrics and the feel of the song is the kind of musical vision I've been looking for years ♡♡
Omg you MUST HEAR HER LOLLAPALOOZA PERFORMANCE..... SHE SANG 6 TRACKS FROM THE NEW ALBUM THERE 😭😭💖💖
YES!!!!
@@s1logen I saw it on television, she was amazing as always 💖
With the tone of her voice you can really tell the passion she has for music I really loved the k-12 album and the movie is just as amazing it was really well directed she is really amazing can't wait for the release and when the tour gets released
Right? The "wailing" ("Deeeath") she does after every chorus to remind us that she was crybaby is such a fun intricate detail.
I can't even believe that this masterpiece was released a year ago, time flies very fast. It's like yesterday was just the first time I listened
she's back.. SHE'S BACK SHE'S BACK OMG. SHE'S ACTUALLY BACK? I'M SO SHOCK.... I THOUGHT WE WAS NEVER GOING TO GET A RETURN FROM THIS ICON!!! MELANIE JUST MADE MY DAY EVEN BETTER. TYSM MELANIE, YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL BLOOMING GODDESS
You should follow her on Instagram, she post teasers there
not only am i loving her new era. i also love the fact that her voice sounds SO healthy, not that she was bad before But wow her vocals have improved a lot
I saw someone say that she quit smoking so her voice has improved a lot over the time she spent recovering. Im so proud of her!
@@le0ph0bia goddamn, if she sounded like what she did _before_ she quit-
totally agree
NO
@@PoisonFlower765 i could never
If the chorus is removed from the song it’s literally the darkest lullaby I heard and would make the song gothic pop. I get an evanescence fallen vibe in the darker parts of the song it’s truly haunting. The chorus is the only thing that lightens the mood
''please dont ever worry, ik its morbid but we all die one day''
People were saying those are crybaby’s last words
Honestly I’ve been listening to Melanie since I was 13, I feel like I’ve grown with her, every album she comes out with was in a different chapter in my life, and this feels like an album of being reborn, after all the awful shit I’ve been through in my life I’m ready for my new chapter, I can’t wait for this album. I love u Melanie thank you for making such beautiful and relatable music ❤️
same!
I listened to her when I was 11 now I’m 18 I love her so much
Real real real💕💕
soo how old are u now?
Same it came out right before I’m about to make a big move back to my hometown so it’s really fitting 🫶

Melanie is back!!!🥰💗 Thank you for this, it genuinely made me feel better since I've been having a shitty week. Anyone else excited for this new album?! It's felt like forever since we got K-12 which helped me feel sane during the pandemic.
YESYESYES! AGHHH so freaking happy I’ve missed the hype of her new music dropping
EXACTLY!! SHE HELPED ALL OF US!!!😢❤❤❤
i cannot believe it i’m so excited
@@kiaranicole1174 I know right?! I remember anxiously waiting every so months for her videos to come out
I have to agree with you, it’s been a shitty week, I’m sorry about yours though. But when the album comes out it will definitely cure my depression from the last shitty, ass, stupid YEAR it’s been. Hope you’re days, weeks, months and years are always good from now on!!!
This song really made me escape reality for a second. The smooth melody touches your soul in the beginning then pulls you into its graceful, powerful trance! The rhythm just moves with you and builds up that energy until your in a whole new mood. TRUST this will be on replay‼️

i think its absolutely beautiful how she created an entire story with her online character , crybaby was in the beginning a “baby” and then she went to k-12 in where she died , therefore bringing on this new character , i jus wanna know what she will name this and how she will show it in concerts , absolutely beautiful melanie , i love you
We already know how she's showing it in concerts
crybaby died in k12???? didnt she have the choice between staying on earth or going to the angel's world????
@@theunoriginaldude8345 I think she went into the angel world and died
@@Melsghoul. wait no, at the end, she stayed with the boy in the end of K-12. Thats why she gets to have the part time job in The Bakery. So how did she die then? Did something happen???
@@BunnaBean maybe she got cooked alive bcuz she turned into a cookie?
i think some ppl do niot remember that crybaby canonically has had past lives she doesn't remember and her 'death' is just being reborn into a new character, just like how she died and became crybaby before
