#I hope we'll see alex again in 2022

[prettyinpwn-blog]

Does anyone else feel like... something new is brewing for GF?

Sorry I've been posting a lot out of the blue after months of inactivity, but, you all get it... the GF fixation train comes and goes.

Anyways, I'm getting some spidey senses going on about GF lately. There's The Book of Bill coming out, Alex Hirsch doing an interview with ThatGFFan and Fordtato/Hana Hyperfixates (you folks are awesome btw), Alex himself has been super, super quiet for a while as far as I know...

I especially am a bit curious about why The Book of Bill is being released so many damn years after the show was released. There's no big anniversary coming up (the 10 year passed in 2022), the show is - let's just admit it so I can feel like the old ass lady I am - old itself, and usually stuff like this gets greenlit around other materials for promo reasons.

My point is, is usually something like The Book of Bill, you'd expect to have been released long ago to capitalize on the show's success post-finale, like how Journal 3 and Lost Legends were published. But... all of the sudden 10+ years down the line, we're seeing stuff like the soundtrack vinyl, the Bill purse, and I believe there were Ford and Stan plushies iirc, and now The Book of Bill being released.

And there are details about these two things that are... weird. The soundtrack had a full version of "We'll Meet Again" with all the characters voiced by Alex Hirsch (e.g Bill, Stan, Soos, McGucket, etc). Very strange thing to be added to the record, hm... and The Book of Bill is set to be more adult in flavor.

I'll just bluntly state it: I think they're testing the waters for more Gravity Falls with a more adult audience, capitalizing on old as dust fans like me who were active when the series aired, plus newer fans given Gravity Falls' seemingly evergreen appeal. Like I'm about... 80% certain on this. I'm not saying this to clickbait anyone but it really feels like something new is on the horizon. I'm not saying it's a new show, maybe comics or some sort of prequel or continuation in another medium, but my spidey senses are tingling, like I said.

Does anyone else feel the same, or am I just... too hopeful?

#gravity falls #the book of bill #fandom grandma is hopeful #please I wanna figure out the plot twist again a year before it's revealed in the show so Alex Hirsch will curse my name

I'm kinda new to Milex, despite loving both AM and TLSP for years, and like so many questions.......What happened to those sweethearts, what are the divorce allegations, why they don't hang out anymore, is there any tension between Miles and Alex's girlfriend?😭 I need to know

hiii and welcome to the milex fandom!!

first of all, you can check out this post to know more about the divorce allegations - but of course always remember it's just theories, no one really knows what happened (if anything happened at all)

second of all, they do still hang out! they're just very private about it and rarely ever get spotted together, but over the years after the tbhc and cdg eras we got to see them together a few times, usually hanging out in london like here (august 2020):

and here (july 2021):

but also in jnstances like this one (september 2021) (it's not confirmed that they were together but miles posted this with the caption 'ARRABIATA HEAD X' and arrabiata is Their Thing + those are alex's sunglasses and the photo was most likely taken by him idc i will die on this hill)

then we got to see them together in june 2022, hanging out at some pub:

and also at zackery michael and lola mcdonnell's wedding aka the wedding of the century aka i wish i was a fly on the wall there. this was also in june 2022, they were both there but sadly we didn't get any interaction nor photos of them together:

we did however get a few interactions between miles, (nadya) and louise.

in may 2023 they were spotted having a cute little date night at a scott walker tribute concert in london (feat. the one and only brown leather jacket):

and then of course we got to see them playing 505 together in june (💖) after five whole years of not sharing a stage:

and then again in dublin, miles opened for them on all four nights of the irish leg in october and joined them for 505 on the very last one:

during both the cts and omb eras miles has mentioned alex and tlsp quite a few times (both spontaneously or because of annoying interviewers asking him about it).

speaking of miles and louise, they ignored each other for a long time since alex started dating her back in 2018, which was quite weird considering miles usually seemed to have great friendships with alex's girlfriends (he was very close to taylor, and he's still friends with alexa). recently they started interacting more, liking each other's posts or leaving comments there (see miles commenting on her latest birthday post for alex). as i mentioned, they interacted a bit during zack and lola's wedding (katie posted a video on ig where her, kirstin, louise, miles and nadya were all hanging out together). i think at this point it's safe to say miles and nadya aren't together anymore, but her and louise were hanging out quite a lot during 2022/start of 2023 and they probably got introduced through their respective boyfriends. there's no official drama between miles and louise but they don't seem to be friends, just close acquaintances at best.

and... i think that's it anon! in conclusion they're still very much close and hanging out with each other, it's just much rarer to get a glimpse of them but maybe in the (hopefully not so distant) future we'll get a tlsp3 announcement and then they'll finally be touring together again, planet earth will heal and we'll be well-fed once again. in the meantime, i hope this little recap was helpful <3

#@ moots please let me know if i missed something crucial!! i tried to include everything i could think of but if i forgot something > #> some instance of them hanging out together over the recent years then don't hesitate to add it to the post #also anon this is just considering the official sightings we've had. who knows what happens behind closed doors and how many times they > #> hang out without any of us knowing (top 10 thoughts that haunt me at night) #it's also worth noting they keep vague posting about each other through their lyrics which is very gay of them if i do say so myself #never beating the psychosexual relationship allegations! #ramblings #answered

[slow-button-off]

I'm completely with you. Taking into account his on track behavior, him stirring the pot in the media, his family spouting pure nonsense whenever they can, the absolute bullshit that comes from the spanish media, having him on the team has more cons than pros. Added to that Ferrari having to sacrifice their other driver to keep him/his family/his country happy on numerous occasions (both on track and in the media), it really begs the question "what does carlos sainz even do".

Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that unfortunately we'll still get a renewal for him, but it will work out worse for everyone involved. I don't think Ferrari will be able to justify dropping him, especially since he's their last race winner and will probably finish in front of charles in the championship again this year (knowing Charles luck, I can see another 2021 situation happening). If the car next year is better and a repeat of early 2022 happens (🤞) then maybe they can justify it, but if discussions happen before that, which they probably will, I really don't see them dropping him (if they do, I'm sure carlos/carlos snr will be spreading all Ferrari's dirty laundry plus some more in the media). I think Ferrari will be scared to drop him because they'll probably face a lot of criticism. So I think that they'll give him a contract, but not as good a deal as charles will get. And he'll be mad about it, and this behavior will only worsen. And he'll try even harder to be "number 1" and we'll have to put up with everything tenfold. I really see this happening, and it makes me scared.

The only hope I have is if audi or someone else offers him something better.

It's the impeding in quali, the borderline moves while defending that should've been a penalty especially in Monza where had they not been teammates it would've been a slam dunk penalty. But Ferrari isn't going to complain about that.

I also don't like that the spanish media and his dad are stirring the pot sometimes saying it out loud sometimes just implying that Carlos is treated worse and then he goes and gives interviews blaming the fans for that. It's weird.

Idk if he is getting a new contract. Charles has already signed one, and Carlos has been acting especially weird when he is asked about his contract lately. He clearly wants the same contract as Charles which is why his family friend was pushing for that in the media and claiming that Ferrari fans will not take it if they get different contracts. And lately his behaviour as gotten a bit worse so I am genuinely starting to think that it's not going well for him.

at max he'll get a short term extension and rumours say that Ferrari are for example somewhat talking to Alex (and probably others too).

I think his behaviour rn and how much his dad was talking about Audi really hurt his leverage for an extension. They were trying to shop him around to other teams back in Canada already.

Either he is out or he is getting a worse contract than Charles which will be fun.

SPOILER WARNING FOR HEARTSTOPPER.

I hope you've watched this already, but just in case you haven't, and don't want to know why this is the most heartwarming queer love story ever, stop reading now.

Nick never puts his own angst above his concern for Charlie's feelings. That's it, that's my favorite part of the whole show. At the beginning of the show, Nick is the rugby captain and believes he's straight. Charlie is Nick's bisexual awakening, and we can see Nick struggling with coming to terms with that. He has bi panic and is afraid to come out and it takes him some time to deal with stuff.

And yet he never once mistreats Charlie and then expects Charlie to "understand" Nick's motives and agree that Nick's angst is more important than Charlie's feelings.

I love this show. The trope where Blorbo 1 completely betrays Blorbo 2, and then Blorbo 2 forgives them because Blorbo 1 had a really good reason (and somehow thinks Blorbo 1 is worthy of trust because Blorbo 1 will never have a really good reason every again??) drives me up the wall. So the fact that Heartstopper doesn't have this?? Beauty. Love. Joy. Trust. Happy sigh.

Simplified Bookbinding Tutorials

Usually in bookbinding, you format the text into signatures, print them, fold them, sew the signatures together before casing them into a book. Sewn signatures look like this:

I don't do well sewing signatures, so I found a way to publish books that doesn't involve sewing. In the Simplified Bookbinding method, you print the text front and back on loose sheets of paper and then glue the loose sheets together. A glued text block looks like this:

My #1 post of 2022

Okay, USA followers, you know how we all hate bank fees? I mean, you overdraw your account by $1.23 and you get charged $25.00? That's evil.

As of Jan 26, 2022, the Biden Administration CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) is bringing the hammer down on junk fees. This is more than just bank fees - this is going after the junk fees on things like prepaid cards, loans, bank transfers, credit card late fees, even closing costs on a mortgage.

The CFPB needs public comments, like the opinions of real people who are affected by these fees, to build a case about telling financial organizations that THEY CAN'T CHARGE THEM ANYMORE.

The CFPB says it’s particularly interested in hearing from older and lower-income consumers, students, service members and people of color.

There's some good detail about the comments in this investopedia article. The easiest way to comment is to send an email to [email protected]. Include Docket No. CFPB-2022-0003 in the subject line of the message.

Note that these are public comments. They will be published online through the CFPB website. Don't include account numbers, social security numbers, or full names. Tell a story - tell about the time you overdrew your account by $1.23 and the bank took $35. Tell about how you signed up for a credit card and the company charged you a bunch of fees you didn't even know about. Tell about how you transferred money from your savings account to a checking account and the bank charged you $2.50.

These junk fees are a slap in the face of ordinary people who can't refuse to pay, and the CFBP is taking aim at the banks that charge them. To read what CFPB director Rohit Chopra had to say about this call to action, click here.

You have until March 31, 2022 to submit comments.

[maybemoonout]

when the other anon said 'interviews and more recent things' i think they must be referring to eycte interviews and that one (slightly awkward) time they played standing next to me in a miles gig in...... shit, 2018? time really flies uh. in that same gig he dedicated the wrong side of life to him ('that's for you brother')

there was also miles playing 505 with the monkeys the same year (but that one i remember them just. barely akcnowledging each other)

i'm bad with reading body language so no opinions, but those really were their most recent public interactions, i think

Hi anon!

Oh dear, yes I do recall watching that 2018 gig, the awkwardness was truly felt through the screen, though I didn't know that was the same gig that miles dedicated wrong side of life to him! Quite interesting indeed.

Truly, the body language in that gig was unbearable. I can't watch it sometimes. The fact Alex moves away so fast after doing things they used to do all the time pained me. Truly I can see the "body language" one might find in that gig, honestly whoever you are you would see it, it was quite uncomfortable even if you have no context at all.

This 505 gig in 2018 though… hm it seems precedes me. I think I do recall seeing a video of Miles playing 505 for the Monkeys in 2018 but maybe I didn't watch the entire video, so I can't really know about the body language on that one. I'll try finding it, or if someone could link it to me? That would also be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, same HAHAHAH, my body language reading skills seems to be lost to me. I barely know enough so I can't give that much opinions either. But if I recall correctly there was a few interactions in 2021? I remember seeing a twitter post where Miles says he spoke to "the big man" (I can't remember the exact wording, but he never mentions a name, just a nickname) about playing some TLSP songs in his next gig at the time, which he did end up doing, I remember seeing the clip of him singing aviation in said gig. I did also read that in January of 2021? 2022? I can't recall, but it was a Miles interview and he mentions he had dinner with him. So, we do know they're at least interacting! (You can tell, I am quite starved of content, and am eating anything that is served to me at this point)

2022 interactions though? Nothing I've heard at least, I'm gonna be honest I joined this fandom INCREDIBLY LATE. So, guaranteed there's 10 million things that I have missed probably just in this year alone, but trying to go by stock knowledge alone, I can't recall any 2022 interactions. If someone sees this that knows of a 2022 interaction then I'd love to see it! I have seen some Miles interviews though where Alex is mentioned, but that's really all there is to it. More people need to mention Miles in interviews with Alex I think, I'd love to hear what he has to say, or maybe there has been and I just haven't read it? We'll see!

Thank you for giving me a tip anon! I greatly appreciate it! Hope to hear from you again <3

[iguessricciardo]

I am so sorry alphaT anon here . Was so depressed drunk after monaco between charles and daniel don’t even remember what I asked you. Guess I was talking about perez signing up with rbr extension and the pierre rumor of him wanting to leave from a team that is under rbr + there was a source that said he actually already signed + that’s when the first agenda against DR started spreading . I guess he is aiming for the mclaren seat since merc is out of question. If seb leaves end of season mick would move to am (going by the snide takes from gunther) which leaves one AT and one haas seat open . Let’s say alex pushes rbr to move him to AT which now leaves daniel with haas and a william .

I do not know what is worse him moving to AT (test car for rbr) or haas (which honestly again as # 2) . How I wish renault was still an option le sigh . Sorry this ask is in so many parts .

Like pato is definitely staying with indycar and wet wipe herta is just not there yet to become a driver I heard he doesn’t even have his super license yet (or that’s old news idk) so the immediate answer would be someone else experienced on the grid . Going by what jenson hinted partnership end is just around the corner . So mid season swap ?

Also in general when do we usually hear about the 2023 roaster ? I cannot remember because for odd reason last year 2022 leaked like way too early.

Again feel free to ignore this ask im just dumping everything here because overthinking.

first of all, me🤝you: going through every possible scenario because we’re spiraling.

i personally don't think there will be a swap this season (or at least i hope so) because if we look even pierre isn't really having a good season either, so i think it'll just be a risk mclaren aren’t willing to take. i also don't think daniel would want to go back to alphaT mainly bc it's redbull's second seat and he's just not gonna go back to where he started.. so yeah. if he doesn't find another seat i don't think he's staying. ( although for me, looking at haas this year i kinda don't mind him going there) but we'll have to wait and see i guess.

#btw pls don’t apologize i love knowing there’s someone going through it like me <3 #ask.txt

[just-here-for-the-art-shit]

Welcome to the new year mon amies, I wanted to do a special preview of some of the MH fics I've been working on and planning for the 2022 year, once the current fics I have running have been finished. I can't wait to share them all with you!

Moonrise (Sundown Part 2)

With The Operator nothing more than a wilting tree, Jay and Tim are free to live their lives in their own slice of heaven in peace ... or so they thought. There's no rest for the wicked, and Jay finds out there's a lot more life in the canyons then most can see - or rather, death. Old friends and new unite to take on the strange skull-faced shooter. M-E rated, A Bram centric fic with a side of fluffy Tessica.

~

"Aw, my boy, you have a gift."

"G-gift? I wouldn't exactly call it a gift but-"

"It is a gift - one, though, that comes with many responsibilities."

~

Two steps - he's prying the car door open - five - he puts a gun to the engineer's head. "Get up - you better start talking, pal."

"What … where am I?"

"You should be at the bottom of the gulch."

"I don't … remember…"

~

"The souls of Miranda, entwined with the magic of your own, singing the song of creation. The mirrors all shatter, the piano strikes a dull note, and the sky falls."

".... Does anyone understand this hocus-pocury shit?"

~~~

Legend of the Phoenix

Given a second chance, Jay Merrick reincarnates at the start of it all, 2006. With a new lease on life, he has only one thing on his mind - revenge. E-rated, A Jam centric fic following Jay's pov.

~

"Oh … you missed the waiter - you can have some of my food…"

He shrugs, "That's alright, I'm not that hungry."

"Oh my GOD Tim, just eat the man's food, he's not going to bite your arm off." Brian says obnoxiously loud, elbowing him.

"I will personally fight you in this restaurant."

~

"You sound like I'm going to my death." 

"God I hope not. Take care man." 

Poor Brian. He doesn't see, doesn't remember the atrocities. Brian died early in the chaos - thank goodness. Of all people, Brian is one of the ones that never deserved this. He went quick - he hopefully didn't suffer for long. That warm, summer smile was preserved forever, untainted by the wear and tear of paranoid years and tapes and strange messages. 

"Drive safe." He says, and for once today, he thinks it to be true.

~

"Bark bark!"

Ha. He almost forgot about the dog. Here comes the next line -

"Seth, did you bring your dog?"

"Yeah … sorry. I didn't have a sitter."

Alex sighs. "It's … fine … I think we need to wrap up for the weekend anyway, everyone's tired. We'll try again Monday."

…... Huh? That's … not anticipated.

~~~

H.E. Double Hockey-Sticks

Welcome to Hell! Jay - Paimon, and Jessica - Lilith, start out their new demonic lives as soldiers making their way through the ranks of the Imperial Palace, But of course, it's never as easy as it sounds. Dozens of demon lords, kings, dukes and several more make up the hierarchy of Hell, and with that comes a lot of personalities - and a lot of treachery, threatening to overthrow Lucifer himself.

(This is literally a Palace harem au not joking) T - E rated, A Jay-centric polyhornets fic!

~

He peels his cooked, aching body off the mattress like burnt salami, string of drool still rolling down his face as he slips into his gear. What the hell did he do to deserve this?

Today is partner sparring - thank goodness. Jessica still beats his ass, but educates him too, unwilling to give up on him.

~

"The crown prince Satan is well … Satan … but Lucifer… he's kind of a mystery… They say he's truly in charge, but Satan usually makes all his appearances."

"Huh … interesting. Sounds like a mystery …"

"Don't go investigating it now."

His eyes flash, "Why not?"

"Are you insane? Do you want to die?"

"No, but I might be a tiny bit insane - besides, what else is there to do around here for fun."

"I wouldn't consider looking into the history of the Morning Star 'fun.'"

~

"Beleth is coming!"

"Beleth?"

The hall bursts in a fury of whipping winds and fumes, a roar shakes the cathedral, and then a blast of white light.

"ANGELS!" The room turns into uproar, as demons scatter themselves everywhere.

In walks a thin man with glasses. "Pathetic!" He yells. "How do any of you expect to go against even a low rank cherub! Who let you pass through!?"

(And so, so much more I can't wait to publish)

~~~

Marble Heroes

Fresh out of school, Jay takes a hero internship under one of the mightiest heroes known to man - ok, so maybe the only reason he got the internship is because Alex is his BFF. There's lot more to being a hero than just fighting villains - but try telling him that when he continuously runs into the same one over and over. T rated, a Jam centric fic with a hint of Brilex.

~

"Shit - they're already here - cover the backways!"

"W- Alex- and he's gone … great."

~

"Stay down kid, this fight is over."

"Mmm-gh?"

"I know I didn't hit you that hard. Now go to sleep. You'll heal."

"Goo-night…"

"Good night."

~

"Good evening."

"Ag-b!!!!" In a flurry of limbs, he nearly tumbles off the ledge, scraping himself back onto the roof. "Don't do that!"

"And you're supposed to be a hero? Anyone could've gotten the drop on you."

~~~

And if time permits, I hope to share many, many more this year.
