  Thank you so much for your support! Candle Queen has been important to a lot of people over the years, and that&apos;s always meant a lot to me as the creator of the song.<br>NOTICE: Candle Queen is finally arriving on streaming platforms - check the description periodically for the most up-to-date links!

  For everyone asking why this song was deleted in the first place, the original meaning of the song is shown in the first paragraph in the description: a cartoonishly evil girl who manipulated people and then died alone. But then people noticed that some of the traits she had can be found in cluster-b disorders (being an adrenaline junkie, seeking attention, having big emotions, having an unstable sense of self). What was supposed to be a cautionary tale of being INTENTIONALLY manipulative and not even bothering to change yourself wound up being used as ammo against those suffering from cluster-b personality disorders. Ghost was ashamed of this and disowned the song.<br><br>Now adding a new meaning to the song about an abelist narrator judging a girl who could be suffering makes it better.

  I didn&apos;t know it got deleted, nor that people started thinking it was against cluster B disorders. As someone with BPD, I never saw it that way.

  Wait what…? This got taken down because it was taken out of context? I genuinely thought this was meant to be like a tale of a cartoon villainess like those ones you see in anime that are like “Ohohoho do you not know who my father is? I am rich and you are poor! Ohohoho!” Not someone with a cluster-b personality???? Welcome back Candle Queen I guess

  Born to be 9 years ago<br>Forced to be 9 hours ago<br>Anyway<br>I remember when I first heard this song- it introduced me to VOCALOID as a whole, and I&apos;m still in the fandom to this day :)<br>I like that the story was reworked into something better than before

  I didn&apos;t even notice the song was gone. I never realized that it could potentially be ableist, because some people really are just evil (like politicians and CEOs, for example) and their manipulative behaviors are rarely born of personality disorders, mental health issues, and poor upbringings. Some people are genuinely just spoiled. But I guess I can see why it might be unkind to not consider the Candle Queen&apos;s point of view, and think her deserving of her tragedy.

  Although I am not diagnosed with any Cluster B disorder, this song has really resonated with me and I have struggled with many symptoms similar to cluster B disorders over the course of my life. I never viewed this song as being ableist, it’s actually helped me quite a lot. It’s honestly cathartic to me.
