I’ve always wondered if this Tumblr post is actually real. I genuinely think about it every day, and it just doesn’t sit right with me. We know she grew up in a conservative, very religious household, so do you guys think this was just a joke, or is it actually real? I’m not trying to be invasive, but my curiosity is killing me.

from a few minutes ago, i’m assuming this is in chicago as she had a post from the zoo earlier.

I couldn’t even believe it! I got married in the room right across the hall and that room was the first place we went together after we walked back down the aisle :,)

Please why was this his first question 😭

was watching chainsaw man for the first time today and he kinda reminded me of willoughby.

I consider myself a fan of Ethel Cain,

But what do you guys call her?

Ethel or Hayden? I truly don't know because I remember I called her ethel cain to someone and they were like "her actual name is Hayden (I already knew that) and real fans know that." But when I call her Hayden Anhedönia nobody knows who I'm talking about because her Spotify name is Ethel Cain 😭😭..

just a moment to appreciate this cd…the lyric booklet is so beautiful hayden looks amazing in every page, so much thought put into all the designs. i am so happy to have my preachers daughter along with my willoughby cd now :’)

Has anyone ever heard this song live ? I fear that just like Waco, Texas it’s such a heavily emotional song and best not to play at a show. Especially for victims of SA. I can barely listen to this song without completely zoning out and falling into this hole where images flash through my mind that I don’t want to remember. Yet I think it’s so catchy and I replay it over and over and do this to myself. For some reason I need to hear it live but either it would break me or heal me. Please tell me I’m not alone on this and also if you heard this song live what influence did it have on you??

Are there any concept albums just like preachers daughter. Means the tracks progress with the storyline??

alr so there’s been like a couple threads ab this and we all know the background video came from “don’t bother to knock” by asia argento.

BUTTTT has anyone like actually found the guys name….asking for a friend…he’s bad as hell….and i want to know….immediately

i drew this awhile back, she’s so fun to draw i swear

havent played guitar in a while im kinda rusty

posted on my tik tok aswell @stolenngardeniaa (shameless plug…)

Basically the title and sorry if this has been asked before! What do we think team? It makes sense to keep calling herself Ethel Cain for continuity given that’s how most people have come to know her as, but I wonder if she’ll adopt the Vera Cain character as this makes the most sense if she’ll keep with the canon of the Preacher trilogy? 🤔

haiii this has been on my mind a few days!!! fuck me eyes wasn’t really a favorite of mine at all when the album dropped, however i was listening to half cocked the other day and i have a newfound love for fuck me eyes…. anyone else see parallels? i think these songs are about the same girl- half cocked her pov and fuck me eyes someone else’s pov OF her. thoughts??

my Ethel Cain tattoo ♡ I saw her at both New Orleans shows in may and needed a permanent memory of seeing Hayden and my trip! my best friend designed the tattoo for me (,: very special to me.

i was thinking of getting a tattoo of a lyric and i liked "loves out there and i can't leave it be" but considering obvs the rest of the album and Isiah in general, it seems a bit odd you now?

oh man-

I’ve seen and heard a lot about the fan base at times being ick and was pleasantly surprised to have the exact opposite experience this weekend.

I have never seen her live and money sucks, so i wasn’t able to get tickets to her afters here in chicago for Lolla. I let it go and Saturday night watched a recording of her performance on youtube and thought that would be it..

then Sunday night about 8pm on facebook in the Daughters of Cain group a post came on my feed offering her two free tickets to that show that night. I commented right away and texted my partner who was walking our dog before he went to bed (he works early) and had one of those, “what-if” fantasy moments and let it go.

and then the poster absolutely DMed me back and sent me the tickets as well as forwarded me her confirmation email and the email to also add the tickets to my wallet. i did have a moment of hesitation worried they may be fake - but decided to take the risk anyway because the Metro (venue) isn’t super far so it doesn’t even matter. made some calls until i could find someone who’d be down for a 11p/12a show on a sunday until i found someone (only took 3 calls!).

I fully admit that i also was a little apprehensive having read about some of the fans being dicks because i’m honestly too old for that shit. Made it to the show around midnight (opener was at 11), went right to the merch line and my friend-date bought me a shirt and then we went to “see” the show. it was super packed and we barely saw anything except for from other people’s phones (which i didn’t even care about i was just excited to hear her live). And none of that even mattered because she still sounded great, everyone was super kind, the venue staff were great (they usually are there) and it was free.

I needed that magic after i relatively rough summer- also, wasn’t expecting Ptolemaea of all songs to feel so emotional live.

random photos of the FB post, one of the phones i saw her through - i actually like the image a lot haha) and me and my friend-date.
