Not me just remembering that Charlie Cox was on the Thirst Aid Kit, way back in 2018, which means he knows about fandom imaginings and was very cool about the female gaze of desire in media...

Bit worried about Ashlyn Harris actually
Aside from all the drama that's been going on lately, I've got to confess that for the past few months (or years?) I've been wondering what the hell is up with this woman.
I was such a huge fan back when she was just this Satellite Beach goalkeeper with a humble head and the love for skate-boarding and surfing and you know, family & friends first and her work with To Write Love on Her Arms. And I get people change and that none of us ever really knew her, but I've seen I'm not the only one who can't believe what she's turned into. Like, can we recognise her any more? Or was the completely playing out to be an entirely different person ten years ago?
I think it started when she came out with Ali and suddenly she was like, this attention-seeking, uncomfortably loud (as in literally screaming) person with the weird, rather cringey fashion, only talking about gay things and nothing else, behaving like the complete soccer start that to be entirely fair she wasn't... Even on her wedding video I couldn't believe that Ashlyn was the same Ashlyn of 2011, 2012, 2013... It's not even that many years to change so much, let alone in your thirties. It's like there were no remnants of the surfer, the skate-boarder, the humble butch from a small town who valued the little things... Like she was adamant on transforming into this massively public, loud, "fashionable (?)" celebrity. Even when giving interviews she was expressing herself like she had no intellect any more, you know like male footballers speak, like it's all looks and no brain, no sign of the person who got a uni degree and who gave an amazing mental health talk with TWLOHA years back.
And then when they were celebrating the WC, I was thinking, since when is she this loud and arrogant? Since when is she so attention-seeking? When did she turn into this whole other person who makes such a huge effort to ignore her lack of National Team performances and pretend like she deserved her world cup as much as Ali or Pinoe? I get subs deserve the medal and all too, I mean, they made it so far and if they weren't there training with the rest, the rest wouldn't be as good. You're only as good as the worst of you, after all. But none of the others was bragging so loudly and calling themselves x2 champions so much without having played a minute of those games, were they? Even Alyssa Naeher doesn't have world cup champion in her profiles, nor does AD Franch, nor PINOE, but you know who does? Hope Solo. And you don't want to have THAT personality. I feel like when you're confident on your victories, you don't need to brag, everyone knows who you are, your work speaks for itself.
What worries me about AH (sit down here comes my Psychology Grad analysis) is that in the past few years she's been more and more behaving like someone with no self-esteem, who's desperately afraid of being forgotten and needing to shout left and right look at me! i'm a champion! I'm a soccer star! And then she stopped getting called up for the USWNT, got stuck in the Pride (and I love them but bunch of losers tbh), and all she had left was Ali. And then Ali's doing better than she is. And then Ashlyn gets these horrible injuries and that's story of her life (injuries effed her up from day 1 and seriously impacted her career) and she's forced into an abrupt retirement with no glory.
And then emerges this Ashlyn who only cares about rubbing elbows with celebs, who believes herself to be some fashion mogul (that's all she's got left) and who is deeply satisfied with how her life turned out to be and how she's ended up being nothing but a footnote in the history of American women's soccer, specially compared to her wife. We know they've had issues for a while, that has been hinted at before, and I can only imagine there must've been a growing resentment/bitterness towards Ali because she gets everything Ashlyn won't in terms of soccer. In fact it seems to me (and maybe it's just me), that she seems to be ferociously resentful to soccer in general, like, suddenly she wants nothing to do with it and wants to pretend like soccer is not a big deal. How many times as she stated quite firmly that she's now happiest she's ever been and acted almost as if soccer was actually holding her back? as if her soccer career is nothing compared with what she has now, when we know it isn't true, because she still feels the need to remind us she's a twice world cup champion all the time?
So from a psychology point of view I think she's very bitter, very hurt, very pissed off, very resentful, that she hasn't processed her forced retirement and her not so good soccer career in a healthy way, and so she has to pretend like she's super happy and better than she was before so as not to look like the failure she feels she is. She has to use social media all the time and brag about the celebrities she's meeting, the trips she's going in... She's got nothing else but to pretend she's still as successful as all her friends she has to constantly see in social media showing off with the accomplishments she wishes she had. It's the classic game of getting depressed comparing yourself to others so you take to social media to constantly pretend you're as good as them or better, we all do it. And she's gone, in my humble opinion, off the rails, she's unrecognaisable, and if she has really had an affair and hurt Ali this big, as rumours have it, then that only strengthens my opinion. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if she's abusing substances again, if she's in some spiral downhill as it looks like. And what's Ali going to do? She can't focus on looking after her, she's got work, she's got two small kids, at this age Ashlyn needs to see she needs help and seek it on her own, not expect Ali to mother her.
That's part of why I really don't like people going on and insulting her left and right, because we really don't know what's going on, but to me it seems like when someone's not well, when someone's spiralling, they start to really go off and the first people to get hurt are those closest to her. And we must remember she is a human being, even if she makes mistakes, even if she does bad things (IF she has), and she doesn't deserve billions of people judging her and making her life miserable. And none of us would like it in our consciences if she actually is struggling with her mental health and gets worse because of generalised mass bullying. She's still Sloane and Ocean's mother, and they probably love her very much, and Ali's probably struggling a lot, so we need to remember supporting one person does not have to mean stooping so low as to have to become horrible bullies. Let's stay human, y'all.

Stubborn as a Bull- Doflamingo x F!Reader
I have so many ideas for Doffy. It's crazy I haven't really written anything about him in almost a year. (I want to explore my dilfs more this year lol) I also want more chef/restaurant related fics because I have no concept of work-life balance and will indulge in my career-related fantasies. This will be a quickie
cw: modern au(?), fem reader, stubborn reader, rich af Doflamingo, mdni
You had never met a many so annoying yet tempting as the one before you. However, your stubbornness was a strength, so you knew you could play that game.
You had received an array of gifts and praises for your culinary feats. You had awards, interviews, glowing reviews in multiple restaurants. You were sent wines, knives, and books.
You stayed humble as you knew some celebs and politicians on a first-name basis since they were regulars and knew that the attention could bring both good and bad.
You had expected your ego to come and slap you in the face. All people tried to lure you in and trap you. It'd be a normal descent from success.
Instead, after service that you thought was normal, one Doflamingo Donquixote was asking for your number offering a job in the private sector as well as inviting you on a date. You graciously declined. You thought that'd be it.
It was not.
Because even though there was a three month wait list for your restaurant, you went out to a nearly-deserted dining room where only Doflamingo sat glancing at the menu and sipping the priciest wine.
"I thought that work had been your excuse. I can take you somewhere far from this, and you won't have to worry about the finances of your business." He was a mad man. A rich one, your business partner corrected, but you ignored him again.
Doflamingo bought the restaurant out for a week, and when you stopped going to the dining room after day three, he was shocked at where he found you.
You were all smiles and rainbows serving the less-fortunate at a local soup kitchen. You laughed when you saw the filthy rich man decked out in suits and jewelry standing in the less than stellar facilities. When you were done, he asked you why you were there instead of resting at home or something. "I live to feed people." was all you said.
Doflamingo stopped buying out the restaurant, but still floated in and around before and after business hours. You ignored him while you directed your cooks and tested recipes. Doflamingo admired the structure silently and wondered how far you would have ended up if you were in the corporate world. The skills were definitely transferrable.
You nearly lost it when the man bumped into your china--shattering it again--and brushed it off with a check. You knew replacements would be there by morning, but that wasn't the point. "Stop being so wasteful." So to get him out of your space, you let him take you out. You could hold up against fancy meals and shopping sprees.
You were not expecting an intimate setting in one of his homes where he cooked you his mother's favorite meal--the only thing he could make. You knew about the man's harshness, how he ran businesses. And while the food was delicious, you would never admit it.
"Too much salt." was all you said even after you cleaned your plate. You were stubborn to say things like him, but if he noticed that you stopped by his place to cook and gave him basic lessons, then he never said anything either.
You just ended up with a rich man ready for your call--a partner--but he wouldn't exactly say his feelings either.
Guess he was stubborn too.
~~~
Cheesy, yes but I will indulge! I was thinking about how chef people cook to feed others because we definitely don't get a luxurious paycheck from it. I wondered how Doffy would go about that difficultness.
I will write him more! Thanks for stopping by!

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY
Read at own risk
Is Noah C interested in R?
Pulled: The High Priestess
Tarot 2.0: woah he wants her kitty bad. She’s irresistible to him. If he opened his mouth around her he would bark like a dog. BARK! BARK! Was he on Teen Wolf?
Me: No….not every random male celeb you don’t know is from Teen Wolf.
Tarot 2.0: oh.
Is Jacob E interested in R?
Pulled: Knight of Wands (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: no! In fact she should be weary of him. Not a good card to pull with this type of situation. I don’t even see it working career wise either. This is a great example of “never work with your industry friends”, she would be disappointed after working with him.
Any other potential suitors for R?
Pulled: Queen of Pentacles
Tarot 2.0: absolutely. She’s getting many offers or at least people are lusting after her. Not surprising at all. She’s young and on the rise.
Any other potential suitors for T?
Pulled: Seven of Cups
Tarot 2.0: holy shit. Yes, woah. Can’t express how much kitty is being thrown at him. That’s overwhelming. Lots of temptation. Isn't he in the middle of the mountains with horses and shit right now? So no kitty up there but when he’s out in public again? Yikes.
How’s the sex life between R and J?
Pulled: Knight of Pentacles (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: Lazy! Sloppy! Boring! He is not laying the pipe like he should. No wonder she has so much energy, he hasn’t been putting her to sleep.
How’s R's future career?
Pulled: The Moon (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: She will go through a rough patch but will come out stronger. She will overcome some of her anxiety and do different projects. She also should listen to herself a lot more. She’s self-critical and overthinks her career decisions but she will be fine as long as she transforms herself emotionally.
How’s T’s future career?
Pulled: Ten of Wands
Tarot 2.0: Not surprising. He has many projects, so many that he will be stressed and burnt out in a few years. He won’t have many breaks and needs to spend time working on self-care. His future is important but not at the risk of collapsing from exhaustion and being overwhelmed. He will miss the finer things in life.
Why did T cry while R sing the first time they met?
Pulled: Justice (reversed)
Clarification: Queen of Cups
Tarot 2.0: Another karmic card. They were definitely meant to meet. She turned down this role, right?
Me: yeah a few times
Tarot 2.0: she avoided gaining karma then. Narrowly. The universe kept warning her not to miss out this opportunity and she almost did.
Me: she said she tripped in front of a THG sign in Vegas
Tarot 2.0: a place filled with bad karma
Me: she also called her agent about playing Lucy Gray right when the book dropped. She always wanted to play the character.
Tarot 2.0: all these signs yet she almost didn’t do it. That’s crazy to me. Pisses me off actually. Anyways, her and T talked along before they met. That zoom call was the first time he heard her sing but it’s not the first time they talked. He really wanted her for the role. He felt compelled to take this role actually. He was self aware of his inner feelings during that time. He tried his best to get this role because he had a feeling it would change his life and he would meet someone important. I’m also getting the feeling he didn't like other potential cast members for Lucy Gray. It would have been a huge injustice if they didn't meet. Thank God they did.
Has R visited the blog frequently, and read what we posted? or they just told her a slanted version?
Pulled: Three of Wands
Clarification: Strength
Tarot 2.0: She’s trying to move on from this blog but it keeps appearing. She’s trying to be strong and ignore it but temptation is her greatest enemy. She knows a lot about this blog actually? Who’s telling her? I think she’s lurking.
Do their friends/coworkers and family know about zeglyth? What do they think?
Pulled: The World
Clarification: Knight of Wands
Tarot 2.0: R and T are in their own world around each other. It’s magnetizing and other people feel it. When they think of Zeglyth, it’s about success and new opportunities. They’re slightly worried that R and T had a fling but no one will say anything.
How does T feel about R’s hate?
Pulled: Three of Cups (reversed)
Clarification: Ace of Swords (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: he thinks they’re losers! No life. GET A JOB! STAY AWAY FROM HER!
Why T defend R?
Pulled: Four of Cups (reversed)
Clarification: Four of Wands (reversed) and The Sun (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: He was a witness to a terrible time in her life. He knows her self esteem was low and how much this movie meant to her. I’m seeing a lot of anxiety leading up to the premiere. She was so worried she was going to ruin the movie for everyone in terms of backlash. T reassured her that wasn’t the case at all. He truly doesn’t care about what those losers say.
What did R and T think of each other when they first met (in person)?
Pulled: The Empress, Seven of Cups, Five of Cups
Dropped: Page of Pentacles, Five of Pentacles and Temperance
Tarot 2.0: damn these cards wanted to be seen, okay. The Empress? Pregnancy? T thought of pregnancy from the gate? No way. Arrest him! But in all seriousness, he knew he would love her from the moment they met. This is also an adjacent karma card. The potential to meet your life partner.
Seven of cups? A new person in your life to cause relationship issues! Of course this card appears. R and T cause issues in each other’s lives and with their partners.
Five of cups? R’s mental health was horrific when she met him. He made her feel better all the time. J tried but he wasn’t enough. T carried most of the emotional burden.
Page of pentacles? He was willing to work hard to make this project and friendship work.
Five of Pentacles? Someone was feeling left out in the cold. Was J with them when they met? Most likely.
Temperance? Soulmates! Two extreme people on opposite ends (spot on!) needing to find a balance to make it work. Communication!!
What are T intentions for liking all these model pics?
Tarot 2.0: I swear if I get a red flag I’m done with this reading
Me: :(
Pulled: Queen of Swords
Tarot 2.0: Oh!
Me: Do you hate him now?
Tarot 2.0: no! Thank god it’s what I expected. He sees a beautiful girl with sexy clothes (or lack of clothes rather), he likes the pics and moves on. This is not like that one celebrity who was purposefully liking young girls' pics on purpose. T is a typical man who has wandering eyes and is a visual creature.
Why does T like and unlike instagram photos of Rachel?
Pulled: The Empress
Tarot 2.0: oh this card AGAIN? He’s down bad. He’s flirty and obsessed. I’m sensing hesitance though. He’s aware of how liking thirst traps looks and regrets it. Also I’m hearing the word promise here. Maybe he promised himself that he wasn’t going to like anymore pics from her….that lasted a day lol if that.
How does BB feel about it? Does she know about it?
Pulled: Justice
Tarot 2.0: woah. What a card to pull at this question. Another karma card. She’s trying to be understanding and compromise but she’s not happy about it. Doesn’t think it’s fair and is trying to be “the cool gf” but it’s not working. It bothers her deep down. She’s very aware of R though. That’s one person she doesn’t want him to interact with online. A random influencer makes her sad but she’s livid about R though. But she didn’t tell him to unlike it. She doesn’t want to bring up R at all actually. The name R is banned from her lips!
Is R upset about the fact that T is ghosting her?
Pulled: The Emperor
Tarot 2.0: Yes, very upset. She’s emotional about it. This girl needs Jesus or something. A therapist and straight jacket (it will tie her hands from grabbing her phone!). No way someone not talking to her for a day is making her this upset. Hmm. I don’t think he is completely ghosting her now that I’m reading it. Maybe he is very dry, one worded responses or taking a usually long time to respond and she knows the last time he did that, he stopped talking to her for days. She doesn’t understand what she did wrong. She’s unbelievable. She called this man the devil yesterday and pouting because he’s not answering like he usually does. Is that what you wanted, R?
Why is J so emotionally distant?
Pulled: Nine of Wands
Tarot 2.0: He’s tired of her. She is draining to be around. She even talks to him while he’s trying to sleep. Sounds exhausting. Literally. He’s close to giving up entirely.
Doesn't J get upset over the hate R gets?
Pulled: The Empress (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: Ouch. The complete opposite of how T sees her. He finds her overbearing and a huge burden. He wishes she would shut up sometimes and stop constantly getting herself into trouble. A part of him used to feel bad but he doesn’t care anymore. Don’t get mad at me but he’s lowkey right. I hate agreeing with this man. But she needs to relax.
R loves the attention Zeglyth gets but why?
Pulled: The Lovers
Tarot 2.0: She loves him. It’s that simple. She refuses to let him go. They’re soulmates. It’s a spiritual thing at this point. Which is why they’re so hot and cold. They’re resisting what’s meant to be. And I lowkey agree that they should for now. Their back and forth feelings are annoying. They need to stay either hot or cold. They'll even meet in the middle one day. While I they’re cold now, I’m sensing their turn hot soon actually. They’re both crazy to me.
how does J feel when R posts him like this
Pulled: Knight of Wands
Clarification: The HangMan
Tarot 2.0: it’s an ego boost but he’s not happy. He’s feeling trapped. It’s embarrassing to him. He also ignores her if she asks him if she can post things online about their relationship. He desperately wishes she wouldn’t but she ignores him too and ends up posting. Very immature.
Why is T done with R currently?
Pulled: The Devil (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: Oh this is hilarious. R called him the devil yesterday and T said “aight bet!” What a turn of events. He’s trying to be free of her. He’s becoming aware he’s too emotionally involved with her and wants it to stop. I think his birthday put things into perspective. He’s reflecting and thinking about how the relationship won’t work right now.
Is R's recent posts of J a way of her acting out of spite towards T?
Pulled: The Magician (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: it’s more for fans actually! Or her “J haters”! Aw she’s putting on a cape and defending her man like Superman! Shouldn’t it be the other way around? J’s silent and embarrassed. But T seeing her love stories is an added bonus.
T’s irritated but he thinks she’s of course you guessed it —
Me: A fool.
Tarot 2.0: you’re so smart!
Maybe also ask if T plans on ghosting her forever?
Pulled: Eight of Cups (reversed)
Tarot 2.0: He has a deep fear of his feelings so he’s choosing to not focus on them. He’s accepted they will always be there but he needs to occupy his time elsewhere. Career, BB, family, friends. He’s having fun and not thinking about it so much. But no, he will never be able to cut communication completely. He’s tried but can’t let her go.
Is it big?
Tarot 2.0: my heart is very big! Thank you for asking me !
Me: IS IT BIG?
Pulled: The Hierophant and The HangMan
Tarot 2.0: Call him the HANGMan, The Tower of God, The Elephant Man–
Me: chill out
Tarot 2.0: Snow lands on top! EIGHT INCHES OF THAT SNOWSTORM!
Me: *flickers water on her*
Tarot 2.0: You didn’t need to do that. I was already wet–

Tumblr media
this was my first time seeing tim and also getting a chance to say a brief hello! (though, i’m not particularly keen on meeting celebs or comedians and rarely take the opportunity, tim just seemed so approachable and that "this really could be my only chance ever" feeling hit hard, so i did it!; that said, i am incredibly disappointed having missed richard osman's book signing last month, but now i’m digressing…) he seemed so, so chuffed at the show being sold out and people being so happy to see him, it made my heart happy 🥹 and, yes, totally polite! (and quite hairy?) i said this before, but one of the best things about nyc shows is watching artists brim with pride — nyc brings out the 15-year-old dreamer in them that they used to be, you can see the "holy shit i really did it" in their eyes... never gets old!!
Tumblr media
(this is a follow-up to a question about which 3 comedians i’d want to have dinner with!)
i think people would typically approach this question one of two ways: you want to meet the people you really, really love no matter what or you want to meet the people you really, really want to know more about. those two things can overlap, but sometimes a person you adore has already shared so much, written so many books, created so much, done so many interviews and answered so many questions that you might feel it's a greater privilege to see behind the door of a fiercely private person instead, if forced to choose. stephen fry and simon amstell are great examples of people i've loved so long, respect so much, find endlessly funny and interesting and inspiring — but they've been so generous with their lives and thoughts that there are other comedians & writers i'd never know 1/100th as well even after a three-hour dinner and their undivided attention, and i may selfishly, desperately want to. i say "may" because i don't really blame anyone who would prefer to live in ignorance about their favourite comedians & writers and just enjoy them through their work. sometimes i think that's how i feel about victoria; she's so witty and so smart and represents so much of what i respect about women in her industry that i love her to bits, but because her opinions can be so strong and even acerbic i'm intimidated by the reality that we may clash in some of our ways of thinking — and, selfishly, i don't necessarily want to face that. anyways—
if we were having dinner all of us together, i think it'd be nice to pick 3 people who are friends and would have a lot to talk about amongst themselves — since i'd mostly be there as a voyeur, or to ask a question to spurn on more stories. there are also comedians i'd pick in this scenario because they'd do much better amongst their own kind than a one on one with a normie...
do you ever regret asking me these kinds of questions bc my answers are always so long and qualified and boring like i type this shit out thinking "who would ever read all this or care even half as much just list the fucking comedians" im so sorry for who i am
...like, really, someone like alex horne...he'll be much better in a group, with his friends to play off of...but fock he's kinda hard to fit in with my other faves...
OKAY
i think for a group dinner i'd enjoy so much seeing catherine tate, lee mack, and david tennant. how epic would be that? the oldest of friends, who used to be in a group on the circuit as kids, and the long-time colleagues and icons, who have ruled tv culture with their talent and their charisma; three open, warm people, all legends in their own rights, with endless stories, who may not otherwise show lower-key sides of themselves. i'd sit at that table forever, i think, learning about the comedy scene, the acting scene, television and movies, how the industry circles have overlapped and evolved and helped and hurt. i could sit at that table forever, i think.
as for one on one dinners, it's too difficult not to say david mitchell (is that so predictable ╥﹏╥ ), who is someone who feels close but far; i think — apart from his love of history — he's offered many more scratched surfaces than deep dives, and i deeply appreciate the spectrum of his career and interests. i couldn't keep him too long because i don't think he appreciates going on and on about himself, and i'm sure i couldn't be too interesting, but man what an experience that would be no matter if it was just a short tea! otherwise, i would say sean lock and...as a kind of wild card...richard osman. i think a lot of people will relate to sean, just wanting to see him again, just wanting a moment of his humanity, his great balance between accepting the harsh and coping what we can. richard is a strikingly fascinating person — the younger brother of a famous rockstar and a massive comedy nerd who went on to become one of the richest comedy tv producers and now a crime author? talk about containing multitudes. he's been around for so long but really hasn't given much of himself away — i'm so curious about his life! and he seems such a polite, gentle, intelligent, insightful person, i think the conversation would just be so enlightening!
as you can imagine i have about 15 other people i'd be dying dying dying to have dinner with but i stuck with the prompt!!! sorry i was so word vomit about it >.<
Tumblr media
the thing is julian has 0% dad energy — what he has is INTENSE rich childfree aunt energy. she’s gonna come around for dinner once in a while and wear that fake smile around the kids that makes it very obvious she’s not into them but is happy for you and talk about her recent trip to paris and after about two hours she has to leave 1) to go to the theatre but mostly 2) for her own sanity. as for lucy and sam, i saw an amazing exchange (i think on tiktok?? idr) discussing the quite serious difference at the foundations of james acaster’s and sam campbell’s comedy, since they’re being often erroneously compared, and someone made a point that went more or less like this: “the basis of james’ comedy is the fact he is a deeply angry, self-loathing and mentally ill person. sam is just a toddler who has had way too many lollipops.” and…that’s it. older sister lucy and younger brother sam have had too many lollies — you can even find some in their hair 🍭🍭
Tumblr media
well you know what i watched an episode of pointless where THIS FUCKING CLUE got 86!!!!!!!!!! 14 people didn’t get sheep!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so frankly i don’t trust this audience anyways!!!!
Tumblr media
hahaha no i just threw it together for that ask post that’s why it’s so sloppy 😂 you can use it if you want!
BONK

Troubled Paradise
Tumblr media
Part 2
Yoongixreader
Genre:arranged marriage au, strangers to fiance to partner??, crack?? Angst if you squint your eyes. Ceo yoongi, spoiled brat reader, Richie rich vibes.
Sumarry: getting engaged wasn't in yoongi's plan and handling your spoiled brat tantrums wasn't either. Now that he realises there might be more to it than he wants to give space to.
Warnings: not anything I would consider warning but a little bit of swearing, the maknaes being idiots, the reader is being a brat, HAND HOLDING!!, praising of yoongi's dick (because he got big dick energy), jealously???maybe???or surely???
Word count: 5.2k
Side note: part 3 will surely come because I am not leaving you guys dry and high after making you fantasies about yoongi's glorious hands and dick.
Part 1. Part 3
One thing you learned in two weeks of knowing yoongi was that all you would recieve from him as answer are just grunts and nods, maybe if you used some pixie dust and neverlands luck you could get him to speak.
How did you ended up getting engaged to him again? Yeah the mother fucker had the nerve to still say yes after you quite shamelessly layed out to him that you wanted to see if his dick was just how jimin made you fantasies. To say that you were shocked would be wrong, you should have expected it yoongi knew the hidden motive he knew what you were trying to do, you knew because it was fun being the overly chattering one to see right through people's intention.
You weren't mad though if anything it was  much more interesting , yoongi was a sport you wanted to play, it was like a personal mission for you to see just how many buttons you could push before he would combust, your inner brat liked this, god you have been craving for some challenge for as long as you could remember and this was exactly the opportunity you had been looking for.
You had heard enough about him to know just how he was viewed by people the stoic no joke man who talked only buisness beside that people doubt if he really knew emotions, you didn't though you have been constantly taking every chance to get under his skin make him flustered or atleast annoyed but yoongi has heck too much patience and you Don't.
This is why you couldn't handle seeing him stare at some women across the room who was wait who was she? and why was she even here?, you didn't give a fuck about her but why was yoongi looking at her like that?
That look of pure attraction, Don't tell he was  thinking of hooking up with her.
Ofcourse you knew he wasn't a Saint, he obviously had experience and you weren't an ignorant person, you knew a man had experience when you saw one. perks of having three idiotic handsome best friends, "you know if you keep staring like that he will sense your jealousy." Jungkook's voice sounded amused so amused that it made your body feel like a rocket with just how raged you were, you couldn't possibly consider culpable homicide in a room filled with so many namely people ranging from celebs, buisness to actors.
Why were you here though?, Why did you had to accept that damn invitation?,was a night away from that darn house you called home really that tempting?, or was it the fact that your parents still were being extremely edgy with your wedding date set within a month, wedding huh you would have scoffed if you weren't glaring so hard at your best friend.
Your betrothed didn't have time to come say hi to you, stupid arrogant cocky smug hot asshole, if you didn't liked playing around with him so much you sure would have murdered him by now.
"I have the right to be jealous." You reasoned sounding like a child who was about to start whining while stomping  her foot just because she wasn't getting attention, who are we kidding you never had attention even when you were a kid maybe that is why it was burning your inside, a gasp sounding from your other side made you sigh dramatically, "did you just admit you like him?" Taehyung was the one who snickered from behind when Jimin sang out the question a little too loud that it made a few people look at you all.
Great
Gossip news: y/n likes her husband to be who was supposed to be an arranged one, is it a love match?
You glared at your said friend lips turned up in a tight smile, "no I don't but he is supposedly my betrothed so I have every single right to be jealous." You argued shrugging, Tae patted your back coming to stand beside you pushing jimin to the side only to make you smile while jimin whined like the little spoiled brat he was.
"Want some cupcakes jelly beans?" Taehyung was always the one to comfort you, if he even teased you it would never go to the point that you would get riled up, jimin on the other hand loved pissing you to the point that you wanted to choke slam him, jungkook was the mix of both but mostly he was the caring one.
"Poor sweets has to settle for cupcakes while some other bitch is gonna get our sweets share of dick." Jungkook teased faking sadness pouting while he gave your back a sympathetic pat, you shrugged his hands of you harshly turning you glare at him before walking away from them.
That was the last straw, no maybe it was the fact that you could see the women making her way to your  fiance, murder wasn't legal right?, you didn't stop until you were face to side with none other than min yoongi, sorry to the one's you didn't say sorry for all the stamps and pushing when you were on this death mission.
Yoongi didn't noticed you not until you stepped into his personal space and decided that it was still fashionable to link arms with him like the 18th century or to grip on his bicep making sure to not let him know that you weren't exactly happy to see him gawking at someone else.
Your sudden action seemed to have brought the male to earth as he turned his face to look at you, damn those feline eyes for making your heart do weird things, "I didn't knew you were in attendance." Yoongi commented brows furrowing as to why you were standing so close to him and why were you holding his arm, was being on his mind most the time not enough that you had to now make him remember that you always smelled like vanilla and coffee.
"Maybe If you weren't so busy undressing that chick with your gaze you would have noticed." Your words were stated in a teasing way but yoongi could see the way your jaw was set so tight your teeths were close to gritting, wait were you jealous?..no that can't be, why would you be jealous?, you didn't liked him and not like he wanted you to, he might have agreed to marry you but he didn't want to fall for you, he wanted to stay as far away as possible, because you were too much.
You were too good to be true and he didn't knew if he deserved something so good.
You didn't know what to make out from the way his eyes turned a little wide but his expression remained the same level stoic and controlled, you forced back the acidic feeling of jealous down your throat and actually get back to your usual behaviour.
"You know she ain't going to be the one standing at that altar opposite you, it will be me." You teased pouting lightly to make him feel that you were just being mocking angry, god you didn't had to make him see just how plump and kissable your lips were, yoongi sighed closing his eyes before turning his face away from you.
He knew there was no point in asking you to get away from him or behave because he learned in this two weeks you never liked being ordered around and did exactly what was asked not be done, he didn't expect your next move though, he didn't move when you grabbed his chin gently with your one hand and turned his face towards you once again.
He swear he had to remind himself to breathe when he saw the way you were looking at him, it wasn't the usual playful boyish look but rather a demanding and bratty look that he had yet to see on you, ofcourse he should have know you were a territorial spoiled brat.
Ofcourse he should have known you wouldn't be happy to see him eyeing some other women, he didn't exactly cared about the women he just needed something to get his mind of you, you had been pushing his button a lot and he didn't wanted to count back how many attempts you have already made to make him lose his cool.
"Eyes on me love." Your seductive voice went all the way down to his cock, the way you said it wait why were you friends with those three idiot who were famous for their flirting?
"Did you drink or something?" Yoongi's voice was bored restraining the whole amount of adrenaline rush he felt at your behaviour.
You pouted at his words clicking your tounge before your facade fell and you burst into a tiny train of giggles, you told yourself it had nothing to do with the fact That you could feel that bitch staring at you. If yoongi thought you were drunk or mentally ill he didn't exactly show it just that downturn smile of his.
Gosh what would you give to see him smile with his whole heart, probably a kidney not your own you had three idiots to spare on that, yoongi couldn't bear the sight anymore not when you were looking so adorably sexy, how was it possible to look both the ways at the same time, god he wanted to grab your face and smooch you so bad, he had to gain his self control this wasn't healthy, you  weren't healthy.
He had to keep his lips busy or he wouldn't be responsible for what happens in a room filled with so many people, so he summoned as much self restrain as he could and looked around to spot a waiter nearby, luckily there was one just around the corner so he didn't had to wait much longer to get a glass of wine.
Great wine is good for the heart, it is healthy.
He sipped on the wine not taking his eyes away from the crowd of people, he could see people staring at you both he knew there was Gossip, ofcourse there was gossip why would you and him every agree to marry?, yoongi didn't knew what left a bitter taste in his mouth his own thoughts or the wine that he just gulped down.
"why would I need drinks when I have such an intoxicating fiance?" You knew you were shamelessly and you expected it to get a flustered yoongi or either a pissed one but why was it that you always decided to say the most weirdest thing when he was drinking or eating, did you wanted him to choke and die.
Or did you really thought that was the way to call this marriage off.
____________________________________
10 days
Yes that was all there was left for the final strike, yoongi didn't knew why he felt so blank, he wasn't sure what he really wanted this time, did he wanted to marry you?, did he wanted to call off this all, did he wanted you?, he would a fool to say that he didn't craved you, he was starving for you but he wasn't going to touch you, no he had his principles and he knew that if he touches you once he would never he able to step back but he didn't knew if he was capable of love and in all honestly you deserved love.
It wasn't helping nope, he couldn't concentrate not when you kept calling him at the most ridiculous time to ask a rather random question, like the other day you called him at three in the morning just to ask him what were his theories about what was on the other side of the black hole, you didn't seemed even a single cent hazed or sleepy infact you were so cheery it made him doubt you were human.
It was like that, the next time you had randomly dropped by his office just to ask him if he knew that titanic movie was shoot in a warm pool, Yoongi was known as a patient man but even he had his limits, but somehow you seemed to have pushed away all his limits.
He doubted that if people saw the way he was around you they would start questioning the image he had gained in public opnion, still he never pushed you away or told you that you were annoying him because he never felt annoyed also he didn't wanted to push you away, yoongi didn't knew you much but he had enough conversation (even if you were the only one who talked.) To know that you felt neglected, he swear he could see the rejection flash in your eyes the moment he would open his mouth to speak, he could see that you are expecting him to tell you off but he never does.
His heart ached when you would accidentally blurt out some past rejection from family and would try to disguise it as sarcasm, god he wished he could give you the world wait..was he..no he couldn't..he already felt guilty enough to ruining your chances of finding love but he knew if it was not him then it would be someone else, he would rather have you close than see you unhappy with another man.
He couldn't imagine you being told to shut up or disrespected, be couldn't..and that made him think a lot of things but he concluded that it was just sympathy that's all, not that he would tell you.
A forlorn sigh escaped him as he sat up straight in his chair some of the people sitting close to him turned his way, they looked scared expecting yoongi to put in words and say that the project they worked so hard on was complete thrash but honestly yoongi was too last to catch on whatever it was that was being displayed.
"Start from the tenth slide again." Yoongi commanded licking his dry lips and giving in his attention to the meeting, yes he had to concentrate...why are you calling him right now?,and why did his heart skipped beats?, knowing you wouldn't stop spamming him until he picked yoongi had no choice but to answer your call.
"You better not ask me what I think about multiverse." Yoongi nonchalantly answered trying to keep his voice devoid of emotions or hide the fact that he was actually enjoying her stupid calls, "I already asked you that and ..don't tell me you forgot!" Your voice turned from amused to betraying (dramatic) angry making yoongi furrow his brows while he tried to remember what exactly would have it been that he forgot, he remember everything you tell him.
"Forgot what?" He kept his stoic tone and personality intact remembering that the room was still filled with people, he knew people hanging on every word trying to find something worth gossiping about, a gasp sounded from other side of the phone followed by the sound of rushed footsteps he could hear your idiot trio bickering about something in the back but he didn't mind to them.
"How could you forget such an important day?" You sounded way bratty almost whining if you were being like this it wasn't serious, it couldn't be serious. He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose closing his eyes, "the wedding is in ten days y/n no other important in between not any to the point I am informed." Yoongi tried to keep his voice annoyed but he knew he didn't sounded like his usual annoyed self would, his voice was way hushed and soft to sound anywhere near his usual one.
He waited patiently to hear whatever it was that had to this angry but what he was met with was you hanging up, yoongi pulled his phone away from his ear to stare at the screen, did you just hung up on him?, Why were you angry again?, did he really forget some important info?
He dailed your number again but you straight out rejected his call, now he was starting to get concerned, yoongi knew how to deal with an energetic you but he didn't knew how to deal with a you who didn't want to talk .
He rose up from his seat ready to go find you wherever you were probably your cafe or your home, heck he would get your location pinned down by his IT guys if that was what it took, "reschedule this meeting." Yoongi didn't wait for any response having made his declaration there was no point in waiting, however he couldn't even take a step forward when the conference rooms door open rather in an not so graceful manner to reveal you.
Standing there with your arms folded eyes glaring at him and lips pressed tightly into a straight line, this wasn't what he expected not you in a cute little sundress that stopped a few inches below your knee a slit on the right leg that run up to a good decent length of your thigh, the dress fitting perfectly against torsos and the bell sleeves that stopped inches above your elbow, the cute little pastel coloured flower printed on the creamy soft breathable fabric, your hair pulled back in a low bun a few strands left to frame your face.
"Y/n?" Yoongi couldn't hide his surprise at the sudden attack by you, he wasn't being Delusional right?, you were really standing their looking so beautiful in a simple sundress, was this supposed to be the moment he was going to realise he had feelings for you?, it didn't looked that way not when you were glaring at him as if he had stole those favourite chocolate teddies of yours which you had told him you kept reserved for the children (from the school ten minutes away from your cafe) who came often to visit your cafe.
"You really don't remember?" You questioned ignoring everyone else who was present in the room, beside it wasn't like you were going to back down or feel embarrassed for bragging in here, you were getting married to the man who was head here, atleast you could be this bratty.
Yoongi bit his bottom lip racking his brain to find what exactly you were asking for when he found nothing and realised just where you guys were he walked to where you were standing just a decent distant away from you not letting you smell that addicting cologne he wore, "let's talk in my office." Yoongi suggested raising a brow in a silent request but where would the fun be without an audience to watch.
"No!" You pouted raising your voice in the slightest making the male roll his eyes before his eyes trailed back to the people still seated, he remembered dismissing the meeting then why were they still sitting here, "so you really don't remember huh?" You questioned turning his attention back to you while people started to evacuate the room, yoongi drank in your expression they looked so serious, "no I don't." He answered honestly trying to keep a straight face although he was starting to get concerned, he saw you inhale sharply closing your eyes while you nodded your head as if you understood what he was saying.
He opened his mouth to speak again but you turned on your heels and started to leave, alarms went off in yoongi's mind this wasn't like you he was expecting a last out or a whole lecture he wasn't expecting a silent treatment, he didn't thought much before grabbing you by your forearm and turning you around to face him.
Your eyes widening in surprise when you came face to face with him before turning back to their narrowed slits, you pouted pushing his hand away not trying to think about just how warm and fuzzy that one touch made you feel, not once thinking about the way your stomach flipped. No you were here for a whole different reason.
"I am sorry okay..tell me what this is about." Yoongi remained careful while stating his request, he didn't wanted to shout at you or scare you away, "how could you forget about today..I thought you would come by but you didn't." You sniffed making loki panick even more, god what exactly fucking thing he forget about?, he felt terrible for having you feel this way.
"I didn't even go to get the wedding dress because I have so angry at you." You accused sniffing again while looking with betrayed look in your eyes, yoongi went shunned for a moment, wait..were you really making such a scene over him not tagging along to see the wedding dress?, his shoulders visibly slumped in relaxation when he realised that you were again playing with him.
"How the fuck was I supposed to know about the wedding dress y/n?" He growled trying to sound intimidating or atleast annoyed but he didn't feel the slightest ounce it, irritated yes he might be a little irritated but angry no absolutely not, although he did more irritated when he realised that you quite literally bragged in during a meeting to cause this show.
You didn't backed away even in the slightest at his biting tone nor did you stopped pouting, you wanted to see just till what limit you could push him, "ofcourse you were supposed to know, I am going to be your wife the least you could was making me feel special enough by going to the dress trial." You argued leveling him with a playful glare enjoying the way he rolled his eyes letting you in on his emotions, god you were craving to infiltrate him fully and see just how much soft he was.
You weren't a fool you could see the way he treated you, you knew he had a soft spot for you just a soft spot you had remind yourself several times but he did and you wanted to take advantage of it to the fullest.
"Well if you wanted me to come along you should have told me beforehand." Yoongi reasoned trying to sound bored keeping his face slightly pissed to make sure you didn't knew how he was feeling on the inside.
This was your turn to act, your mouth fell agape while you shook your head pushing at his chest slightly, his eyes moved to the spot you touched and then back to your offended looming face with his eyebrow raised in a silent amusing question.
"You are no fun yoongi, I knew you weren't the romantic type but how could not know that this whole dress trial thing is a religious (not truly) level thing, i bet you don't even kdrama." You gave him a judging expression at the end seeing him snort at you statement, "I never said I was romantic or fun guy." He pointed out in a matter of factly tone earning a rather offended gasp from you before you wagged your index finger in front of him.
He had to bite back a smile at the way you looked so adorable trying to scold him, "that's it I will not talk to you." You declared throwing your hands in the air in exasperation before you sprinted out of the room, yoongi stood there shocked for a minute mouth slightly open while he tilted his head from side to side trying to register your words.
It was only when he realised that you would probably hold this argument with yourself till your death bed that he decided to sprint out in search of you, he assured himself that it wasn't because he really wanted you to be angry with him.
Lucky for him you were standing infront of the elevator door waiting for it to open so that you looked leave, yoongi could see almost see the comical fumes of clouds surrounding the top of your head striking lighting on occasional, he wanted to smile at that his heart felt funny seeing you so worked up in the not so serious way.
He was sure people were watching but he didn't care, he couldn't care not when his main focus was on you, he shook his head sighing to himself over how much you were starting to affect him.
You didn't notice him coming not when your phone was going off and off again clearly the trio was growing impatient waiting for you, you didn't exactly disclosed the details to them. But they didn't need to know that you were trying to make excuses to be around yoongi, you would be a fool if you said he was just a sport to you, he was what would you say maybe a crush or infatuation (thanks to jimin who couldn't stop feeding you various of fantasy which ended with the mention of yoongi's glorious dick.), you didn't had to be sure not when he was going to be yours anyway, you had plenty of time to fall in love or make him fall in love.
Right now all you wanted was to invade his barriers and make his walls crumble for you, you jumped a little when you felt his hand slipping through yours he didn't say anything or even looked at you, his gaze was fixed on the numbers that were being displayed above the elevator door, you didn't say anything either because just a moment earlier you had swore that you weren't going to talk to him.
You had to much competitive nerves to lose, "let me come with you." Yoongi's words weren't meant in the way that you felt them but you couldn't help your mind not when you were so used to finding double meaning in everything, "I will remember that on the wedding night." You quipped back bitting your bottom lip to stop a grin, all the earlier anger melting away with urge to tease and torture the man took over, yoongi just sighed shaking his head but you didn't miss the smile that broke on his face stealing your breathe away atleast it wasn't the regular small smile, it was much better.
"You aren't getting anywhere with those flirting skills atleast not with me." Yoongi announced stepping in the elevator along side you, hands still interwined neither wanting to talk about it. You pouted looking up at him with a mischievous look in your eyes, "not even in your bed?" You flirted wiggling your brows suggestively while a grin broke out on your face, then what happened was one of the most blessed moments of your life, you would remember it even when you will be lying in your death bed.
Yoongi flashed you his perfect gummy smile that adorable squishy smile that warmed your inside making flowers grow in the dry land of your heart, he was so perfect. "Especially Not my bed." He added playing along with you, you didn't comment on his smile you knew he would shut himself off you didn't want that.
"aww now I will have to do more dirty things." You stated in an overly mocking disappointed tone trying to keep your face in match with your tone but you couldn't help the shit eating grin, yoongi felt his heartbeat increase at your words but he didn't say anything he didn't had to, it was better to leave this conversation here for the sake of both of yours safety and self control.
When the door to the elevator opened near the ground floor yoongi didn't let go your hand he pulled you gently along side him, you knew even he could feel the way people were looking at you both and it made your smile come out more genuine, "if you don't look like you are in love when I try on the gown i swear I will call off the wedding." You joked turning your eyed towards yoongi to see him sigh in exasperation before nodding In understanding.
____________________________________
Yoongi was trying his best, his level best to concentrate on the magazine in his hand but how could he do that when his nerves were getting the best of him and the three sitting beside him weren't helping much, "red would make you eyes stand out." Jungkook was trying to flirt with one of the staff in the boutique probably trying to find a hookup for the day, jimin was busy talking with you meanwhile you were still getting dressed, taehyung was trying his best to keep himself from barking out his questions at yoongi.
"Okay okay I am done and shut the fuck up Park Jimin you better not say anything ugly about my dress or I am gonna whoop your ass." You shouted from behind the close curtains giving no minds to anyone aside from jimin, yoongi resisted the urge to sigh again at the fact that he was stuck with the troublemaker squad.
The swishing of the curtains being pulled drew yoongi's attention as he looked up to take in your appearance a shaky breathe leaving his lips when he drew your look in, he made sure to register it permanently in his mind maybe even tattoo it down, you looked so breathtaking so beautiful how were you possibly not taken by some modern day princely guy.
"Holy shit! That's not my troubled paradise." Jimin mused walking closer to you and squishing your cheeks to make sure you were real you rolled your eyes before slapping his hands away, your eyes turning to yoongi whose hard stare turned into a soft look of adoring when he looked at you, taehyung took mental note of it and made sure that he would not let it leave your notice ever.
Jungkook walked to you giving an approving whilst while he could feel the heat of yoongi's glare at him, it only made jungkook smile further more before he reached out to you and pulled you in a hug, "always the hot chick sweets." Jungkook mused making eye contact with jimin giving him a mischievous smirk to let his intentions being known, jimin caught onto Jungkook's expression before he turned to where yoongi was seated.
Yoongi didn't knew how to stop himself, he knew it was better to strangle that damn magazine in his hand that to walk up to where you stood and murder jungkook with his bare hands, your smile was the only thing that was keeping him from doing that.
God what was happening to him?
"Hey!" Your voice jolted yoongi out of his dark reviere your hand coming to his shoulder while you looked at him with a big grin on your face, could you for a minute not attack him like that?, "Chill down I am not really gonna call the wedding off." You joked trying to draw out a response from him, he gave you one of his small lopsided smile.
"You look beautiful." That's all he was able to manage, realising in that moment that he was far down the road to turn back now.
Shit he might have a crush on his wife to be.

Hey Gina, after yesterday 's DM incident I just had a few thoughts about it and maybe I'm late to it but still, I felt like I could rant here for a while because you're one of the oldest Larry blogs that I've been following, perhaps the first one since I joined Tumblr.
I've been a Larrie since 2014 and see, one thing all of us as a fandom know is that the boys don't owe a single thing to us, and that hurdles will be thrown our way and despite them, we have to understand it all and hold on.
We can never blame them for the hate and bullying all the young fans on the internet recieve on a daily basis because that's completely the fault of the people inflicting it and their own morals.
We've been told that our idols hate us, that we've ruined their friendship, been on the recieving end of death threats and been doxxed because of our fandom which is a horrible part of the internet, and yet we haven't been deterred for over a fucking decade where most fandoms would be because it's nothing compared to what the boys have gone through.
However I'm sure the boys are aware of our situation and it's obvious that their hands completely aren't tied anymore by strict contracts anymore like they used to be.
Yesterday's situation, Louis unfollowing HLD(one of the biggest Larry UAs around and I'm sure he knew that. The antis had a FIELD DAY with that one) and just all recent occurrences (and Holivia, to add insult to injury, which I know there's a reason for it but given the circumstances, it isn't looking good for us) kind of is putting me off. If yesterday's incident was real, I'm afraid to say this but I'm deeply disappointed.
H and L are happy, I want to believe, they never do and never have owed us any "proofs" or any activity whatsoever as long as their own well being is ensured, they could take a break for years, they could take as much time as they want, after all they're humans like all of us and they're in sticky situations in a fucked up industry and we should understand that.
But at the end of the day, they're celebs with a platform and when there's people fighting for your expression for so many years and standing behind you, all these young people that have seen the worst of the internet, the last thing you do is add salt to the wound and act this way towards them, confirming exactly what the antis tell us.
Ignore us, of course you won't be able to acknowledge us at this point, we'll keep showing our support for you, but H and L need to understand that warding off such a huge part of your fandom is not a good move and it disheartens people for a reason. Realistically speaking, it's hard to still stay firm in your foundation after all this regardless of whatever prior incidents might suggest, I found myself doubting Larry for the first time in 8 years due to recent occurrences, if Louis' team thinks they're going the right direction with this, they're wrong.
I'm always careful not to do anything that makes my favs uncomfy and the way these things have played out, a lot of people are unlarrying simply because they think H and L might not want us to be doing this. That's all.
Hi sweetheart. I really agree with what you’re saying. If he felt the need to confirm that Freddie is his kid, for whatever reason, it could have been done without bringing Larry into it. So yeah, they owe us nothing. But at the same time, they have to be aware of how this sort of thing deeply affects people.
This doesn’t make me doubt Larry, but it does make me question why I’m wasting time here.

Can I vent a bit? 😅☺️
I logically can’t process the faking a marriage standpoint, I think Chris really married this girl, gaslight his own fandom to use this mess to gain traction for himself or/and her and it backfired greatly because he didn’t know his own perception and tried and failed to copy other celeb couples (real and fake) doing pr stunts.
I also think she’s going to share the wedding pics or some shit will happen that will be the final nail in coffin confirmation that he really is willfully in this mess.
The pr angle would be one hell of a Hollywood story and no I don’t believe those who believe it’s pr are crazy, I think they are very intelligent and spotted many holes but the pr is indeed real as well as the relationship which would make Chris a pathetic loser.
He has suffered from low self worth for years and now it’s lead to an extreme terrible decision but it may take him years to finally see it, marrying a twenty something was a safe and easy choice for him, he has the power in said relationship and we see it playing out.
It’s unfortunate because he gave many hope that decent men were indeed out there, but it was a scam.
I hope these 40+ yr olds see in the future, how disgusting they come off, imagine them having a little girl and she grows up and when she turns 23, brings home a 41 yr old, bet he wouldn’t be so calm.
Also I can’t ignore marrying someone who’s bestie is a racist. Chris loves to act like he’s in the know and socially conscious but how many times has he put his foot in his mouth.
I expected better from this man and deep down in my heart I wanted this FS person to be his legit one, but I never expected him to pull this mess.
If by some shock I’m wrong and this gets exposed as pr, I’d be 1% relieved yet still mad at him for taking his fandom for granted but there’d be slight hope, but the reality is I’m sure he and his friends and hers spend time laughing at the team pr vs team real mess that they created and breadcrumbed for two years.
Many random people over the last year came out and said Chris wasn’t like his image in real life and how he gaslights women….I now believe it because that’s precisely what he did with his fandom. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Love the readings, keep them coming, I’d love to hope for better but like I said he sat his butt on stage and stated he’s married so logically…..I’m believing him. I feel like an idiot either way sooooo…..
Whooo… thanks for letting me vent. I hope this mess is pr and just a bump in the road towards him finding his true love aka FS. 🤞 thanks for reading! 💜
You’re welcome and I agree feel free to vent anytime

I’ve come across this response of yours and let me tell you that i feel the same.. just yesterday I’ve seen pleasing posted a video with style music on its official account(its now deleted). when pleasing posted louis smiley on nail art ppl said it was fans choice.. but pleasing clearly knew what they were doing and wanted to cater to particular set of his fans(larries) and now using style, i mean really, on an official account.. there were many cases where i thought this behaviour was justified because i was a new larrie and thought when harry stumbled on his response on sweet creature but though they pushed two ghosts about Taylor, he clearly rejected it by saying nooo… thought harry is equally uncomfortable.. but seems like thats not the case.. he is not the same sweet kid that ppl thought they should protect and defend… larries always post the eyeroll harry did when he saw a haylor sign at his show but blatantly ignore how annoyed Harry’s expression was when a fan said her boyfriend name was louis last year and kind of made eye contact with his friends or whoever saying see they just bring up his name out of no where and I’ve to deal with it…
What am trying to say is all his gestures he made, the show he put on when sang sweet creature or iicf or still the one were also him using larries to promote himself.. has there ever been any authenticity ever… he just caters all facets of his fandom by feeding them crumbs to just get what he is trying to achieve.. good for him and I don’t care but i care when they say that he is the most genuine person or when they cancel louis because he is trying to set the boundaries and say he is rude or whatever…
As I said before too, there used to be a time when Harry wasn't a willing participant in these things. But I think Haylor was a major turning point in his life. He soon realised how much he can get just by fake posing and fake dating and it stopped bothering him as much. He learned the industry game and it all payed very very well in his solo career. Just like Taylor he became a master in his PR tactics and the result is out here. I really don't mind celebs doing anything and everything for their success. I mean that's what life is. And people who think celebs are genuine are just too stupid. I love Louis and Taylor to death but yeah sometimes they play with fan dynamics (Taylor do that a lot) and that's perfectly alright. Harry comes out as a genuine and authentic person because he...... he just doesn't say anything about anything. He's a black slate for public and he would just go with the flow whenever the need arises (that's a real talent mind you) on the other hand Louis is "fuck everything, I don't tolerate this bullshit" kind of guy. If he doesn't like something he WILL say it outright. He doesn't know how to sugarcoat things. He's working on it but it's still a long way for him. And that's why he comes out as rude and people are quick to cancel him.
But you know what? fuck everyone. He is who he is and he don't like fucking around. He will get very very successful on his own terms. He doesn't need to sugarcoat.

I just finished Staged 1!! My reactionz (apologies for wall-of-text; I cannae “read more” on mobile);
(tl;dr at the end)
Props for getting me to not despise a Zoom show on sight. Uses the medium really well despite it being, you know, a remnant of the world fuckin ending
Very Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead, like the patter/volley, lotta chemistry (goes without saying)
David Tennant using Frost/Nixon as an example to explain who Michael Sheen is to Samuel L. Jackson makes me feel so seen. Maybe it’s an American thing idk
Nina, my beloved… serving cunt as the day is long. Rip to her beleaguered assistant lmao
The celeb cameos weren’t annoying !
Bordered on naval gaze-y but self aware enough (meta!) to skirt the line well
Simon’s sister rules lmao
The exterior shots showing empty Englandland were beautiful and captured a (shitty) moment in time very effectively. And sheep! Pastoral VS city, good stuff
Who the fuck is Michael Sheen?!
I wish David writing the play came up earlier, structurally it felt kinda thrown in the last two episodes, but they’re short so it’s a lot to put in
Michael crying over the old lady possibly dying 🥺 Best unseen character uwu
Welsh is a horrifically ugly language but I appreciate their commitment to the bit
Best ep by far was the 3rd (I think?) one revolving around lying. Fantastically written and all around a tight episode
He is in the naughty corner!!
I’m ignorant af whooooooo is the black actory guy in the 5th (I think?) episode who goes on a run to deal with stress and reads Ulysses twice? Love him. I will follow him into the dark
The Ulysses bit is very haha Bri’ish
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night Reference !!!!
The credits gag is *chef’s kiss*
I… don’t like the music. It feels very Kevin Macleod student film stock piano sorry
Also could be my hearing issues but I just couldn’t hear sometimes, at least with the wide shots. Maybe there are subtitles but I wouldn’t know since I watched it completely legally uwu
Editing with fade-to-black annoyed me at first since that’s not how Zoom works but it won me over, very effective theater-y choice. Elevates it a lot along with the way the Brady Bunch boxes move
David and Georgia’s dynamic is adorable and they play well off each other. Not sure if I’ve seen Georgia in anything before (statistically speaking she was prob in Doctor Who lmao) but I really like her as an actress! Very charming
Anna’s not in it as much so can’t say for her acting ability but she was fine idk. She has zero chemistry with David and Georgia but her and Michael seem to have a little bit, just not nearly on the same level as the Tennants. It’s “meta” so not quite sure what that implies irl but her awkwardly leaving Georgia on read was very funny
Idk who Simon is but he’s a good actor! More of a writer? Self effacing and fun
D̵̨̜̓̽͆͘Ḁ̴̪̻̘̗̮̀͛̈̊̅͆ͅM̷̭̒͛̓̔̐͛̉̂̈́̔͘Ë̷̲́̿̅̀̐̆̇̅͋̓̋͂̉ ̴̟̖͉̳͖͕̫̑̌́͂̀͑͐̽̈́̃̃J̶̨̤̞̰̙̻̯͍͖̯̠̝̥̤̿͐̄̂̈̅̎̃̌͊͊̓͠Û̶̢͍͔̱̦̩̬̦͙͖̓̿͘D̶͇̭́̋̓̆͆̋̋͘I̶̞̳͕͖͗̓̓͑̐͆͊͋̂̚͠͝ ̴̧̨͎͖̲̳̼̎̈́̋̐͘Ḑ̸̲̖̟̲͓̝̠͍̤͛͆͐͘E̷̛̻̥͙̯͂͌̌̈͂̒Ņ̷̛̭̦̗͔̝͙̖̆̀̆̌̚ͅC̴̢̬͉͈̉͐̃̀̋̓̓̓̀̚H̵̡̠͕͚̹͑͂̃̉̐̈̾̍̕͠
In the same vein, the button of the cookie jar acting game— yes. All yes
Once again hammering the meta theme but it is interesting to see how David & Michael’s chemistry really does get stronger as the episodes go on. I’m assuming it was filmed in order so a lot of it is the awkwardness of acting on Zoom I think since they had better chemistry in Good Omens 1 imo. They said they became closer friends through it and it shows
Also feels less ‘actor-y’/more comfortable between them as it goes on, which I get is scripted but you can tell the difference, like when a sitcom cast for many years either starts hating each other at the end or becomes inseparable
tl;dr Overall it’s quite cute! Well written, easy watch, lotta subtle funny moments and back and forths. Interesting to see something that feels like a play as a Zoom TV show, it’s unique. Everyone is having a good time and likes each other and it shows. Not sure I’d come back for a rewatch if not for it (apparently) becoming a lot more meta as it goes on and then whiplashing from funnier in season 2 to major bummer in season 3.
It’s fascinating to see a friendship develop in real time, and even aside from that, it’s written and edited concisely. Based on .gifs I’ve seen it looks like season 2 has a lot more of the iconic/memorable moments. Don’t really see the “love story” aspect yet but I guess that comes in time. (And arguing! I’m excited for arguing. Actors love that shit.)
Started season 2 with episode 1 and already like it more with how meta (this no longer sounds like a word) it’s getting. Cool concept and I’m glad it exists

Regarding the media do you think it’s Louis’ decision to focus mainly on the fandom and not on gp so they don’t want to creat cheap headlines for attention? I saw some discussions that he doesn’t have Harry’s level of fame and gp doesn’t care about him that much, which I partially agree with but they write a lot about z list celebs or even Lotties last trip to Italy. Or do you think Louis annoyed sony people or someone powerful and that’s why he is radio blacklisted and almost never gets a positive article about his career?
Hi,
I think Louis have 'chosen' this (more like being backed up to a corner). To attract the gp he has to do some things that he probably finds disingenuous and not really 'him'. It would probably involve sore subjects or subjects that he contractually can't talk about. He probably feels fake performing for a ignorant audience like that (I would) and is really over playing these games. So he only does it when he's obligated to. As i've said many times before, his antagonistic relationhip with the press goes way back. I think he's given up on fixing it until he comes out (and the press naturally shows interest again). And he needs the press to attract the gp.
I don't really think he focuses very much on fandom either. He doesn’t do much fan service. He didn’t write his album for the fans, he did it for himself. He's just grateful for us allowing him to do so (as he always says). His promo for fitf was both, a bit for fandom (signings for example) and a bit for the gp (the interviews with repeated talking points and F mentions). So he's doing a bit of both, but not enough of either.

Dancing with the Stars Season 4 Week 4 Rewatch
Laila and Maks- Paso Doble (Judges' Score=21, My Score=7)- The judges kinda ripped this dance apart with their comments, but it was actually pretty good. I think the biggest problem here is that Laila just wasn't as strong as you would expect for her to be, considering that she's a boxer and a fierce competitor in the ring. And in the paso, you need that fierceness.
Apolo and Julianne- Waltz (Judges' Score=26, My Score=8)- Hmm. This was good. But I have to agree with Len here. There was bad footwork. He was doing that weird pitter patter thing that celebs tend to do when they do any of the waltzes. One thing I remember about this season was them asking Laila about being the last woman standing and I'm realizing that they are holding the women to a much higher standard than they do with the men. I saw the same issue during season 3 and Monique talked about it as well. Bruno gave Apolo a pass with many of his issues because he's a skater. But Laila didn't get that same pass and she's a boxer. It's just very interesting to watch this nowadays (race plays a big role in this as well).
Leeza and Tony- Paso Doble (Judges' Score=16, My Score=5)- Mm. Okay. Leeza's biggest issue was front and center here. She is very cautious. It was not performed well at all. It lacked any sort of attack. She moved way too small. She was holding back. The actual execution of the steps was fine. But everything else was not good. I just really wanna sit in on Tony's rehearsals. The majority of his partners have this same exact issue and I want to know how he teaches people how to perform, if he even does it at all. Even the good ones have this issue, they're just more capable. The only 2 I remember that didn't have this problem were Stacy and Nene. And Nene only ever started performing like Nene after she got paired with Derek for switch up week. So yeah, I really wanna know how he teaches.
Ian and Cheryl- Waltz (Judges' Score=24, My Score=8)- Cheryl said that Ian was her least favorite partner a few years ago (amongst some other pretty nasty things about him) and I could kinda see some of her frustration right at the beginning of this package. Ian seems to be a perfectionist and slightly obsessive and Cheryl was not even 23 at the time. So it might've just been hard for her to handle someone like that at such a young age. Anyway, I liked this dance. I think it was Ian's best so far. He is a bit stiff and robotic when he dances. And it is strange to see it come through in the waltz. But CAI hit the nail on the head. He does not breathe when he dances. And it really shows. If he were to just chill out, he would be SO much better.
John and Edyta- Paso Doble (Judges' Score=16, My Score=5)- Yeah, so I was going to score this a 6 at the beginning until John really started dancing. And I was like "oh, this is not good." It lacked style. It lacked finesse. It lacked technique. And the actual performance was just kinda off as a whole. Yeah, this was his worst dance to date.
Clyde and Elena- Waltz (Judges' Score=15, My Score=6)- I don't think this was as good as Clyde's quickstep, but I believe his posture improved a lot this week. I do think that he's trying. I don't think the judges were right about that. Dance doesn't seem like it just comes easily to him. This why I say race comes into play too. A lot of people always talk about how difficult they are with the women while completely ignoring how much nastier they all get when the contestant is also Black.
Billy Ray and Karina- Paso Doble (Judges' Score=21, My Score=6)- Imma just say this. Len gave this a 7 and this was given a 21 in order to make a point. The dance deserved no more than an 18. And it is offensive to every couple there that he got a 21 because he tried. Why didn't anyone else get a higher score because they tried? I hate when they do this. And this is no shade to Billy. I like him a lot. But there were so many issues. Props to Karina for really getting Billy to this level of dancing though. That has been a feat.
Heather and Jonathan- Waltz (Judges' Score=23, My Score=8)- This was actually my favorite dance from Heather so far. I think it was so gorgeous. Heather moved really well. Jonathan has also been doing a great job with the choreography. One of the biggest issues is her head gets out of line with the rest of her body. I thought it was way better than their jive and on the same level (better honestly) than their mambo.
Joey and Kym- Paso Doble (Judges' Score=28, My Score=9)- Yeah. This was the dance of the night. Joey and Kym killed this. The posture was so much better. His butt was finally all the way under. He performed it so well. It was almost perfection. I just felt like his hands were distracting at some points.
My Rankings and Scores Out of 30:
1 Joey and Kym- 27 2 Apolo and Julianne- 24 = Ian and Cheryl- 24 = Heather and Jonathan- 24 5 Laila and Maks- 22 6 Billy Ray and Karina- 18 7 Clyde and Elena- 17 8 Leeza and Tony- 16 9 John and Edyta- 15
So I already spoke about some of the issues with judging this week. I don't need to go over them again. Just know that I don't agree with most of the scores from the judges. Leeza and John were the bottom 2, as they should've been and Leeza was given the boot. I'm not shocked. It makes sense. It would've been nice to see her stay, but I don't think she could've given us another gear. That's it. Let me know your thoughts and I will talk to you all soon.

i think some people never get out of the bandom dome because pete never gets lauded for anything, especially not his sexuality. recently there was a whole video calling what he (and other musicians of his sphere) used to do on stage "queerbaiting" and calling his lyrics "misogynistic" while the same person talked about the importance of whatever harry styles thinks he's doing (nevermind the fact that they kept forgetting how race and sexuality play such a big role in pete's work and just called him part of the white straight cis man entourage). i wouldn't even say get out of bandom and take a look, you can just look at mcr fans who want to distance themselves from fob with an air of superiority about who's the queerest frontman in bandom lol. pete was never praised for being not straight, and acting like he is, simply because some bisexual 17 year olds on tumblr feel happy they have someone they can relate to, somehow equals him getting any kind of praise or respect is ignoring how most men of color get treated about their sexuality
Yeah I do think Pete can be sexist and has a history of treating women terribly but I don't really think any Fall Out Boy lyrics cross a line, I don't think TTTYG rises to the level of being misogynistic. I do think some of the things being conveyed in *67 and My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon are a bit concerning given his history but those are just kinda obscure demos, they aren't like actual songs anyone is referring to when they talk about it. Additionally, Patrick wrote a lot of TTTYG. Even in terms of songs that are """misogynistic""" it's like art or whatever, it's often not literal, I don't think there should be like .... a ban on "misogynistic" or "problematic" lyrics or that the songs are inherently bad and not good or whatever.
With literally any celebrity whatsoever that has said they'd prefer not to explicitly identify their sexuality publicly or spoken in ambiguous terms about it-- that's not queerbaiting, that's a real person, and real people don't need to have a certain number of oppression points to be touchy with their friends or wear the clothes they want to or write gay or sexually ambiguous lyrics/books/tv/whatthefuckever. Even if they do say "I am straight," and almost no celebs accused of ""queerbaiting"" do, that's still a real person and real people experiment and sometimes experience feelings they aren't sure about.
I do think there's some weight to the idea that actual gay/trans artists do not get the same praise/recognition as people who are ambiguous but that like.... doesn't mean it's the fault of artists who choose to be ambiguous. When I was younger and figuring out I liked girls my mom and therapist accused me of attention-seeking and faking it and mental illness and doing it to get guys to like me-- not that being gay was mental illness, but the doing it for attention part because I didn't seem "really gay" and there were actual gay people out there suffering. It was just a shitty way to treat a kid that was getting called slurs at school. And I wonder how many Twitter leftists who froth at the mouth with rage and rail against band guys or singers or whatever wearing dresses or guys painting their nails black are going to turn out to treat kids in their lives that way because in 20 years when theyre a mom they think their 12 year old son is only wearing a skirt/painting his nails to "prey on young women and make them think hes safe" or whatever freak opinions people pretend are woke
I mean like I think Pete has done some stuff that's really, really not cool and if anyone wants to hate him or hate me for posting about him that's fine with me. But I think because MCR do way more "playing characters" and keeping their personal lives separate and Gerard does not use social media at all people are able to project their ideals onto him and they/Gerard "get away" with more. I also think bands are like their fans and MCR are kinda pretentious so that's to be expected.
I also do think the only people calling him bi are 17 year olds on Tumblr and the only people complaining about him or even talking about him at all in 2022 are former 17 year olds on Tumblr but anyway yeah the race thing is shitty, I agree with that.

honestly i think waiting so long to apologize shows how much he’s been reflecting on it. i also don’t think he was pressured into doing it, his reputation took a brief hit but for the most part everyone moved on and just accepted that he was going to ignore it. people demand apologies from celebs all the time but that isnt how it works. you might get a notes app paragraph, but that doesnt mean they’re truly sorry, its just damage control. proud of him, especially for doing it in front of a crowd
Trueeee. I heard someone who works in PR guest speak on a podcast recently about just how “calculated” the notes app paragraph thing is. Like, sometimes celebs will be advised to purposefully leave in typos/ not punctuate things etc. to make it seem more “personal” and less carefully constructed or whatever. Which is sooo carefully constructed and manipulative, lmao. The fact that he just had a microphone (and told Jamie to play some music so he doesn’t get shy, lmao) and just talked directly to people…I appreciated that. And the Ice Spice thing, specifically.
He really is a good guy. There are so many reasons that he could’ve just let it die and not brought it up, so, the fact that he did it without prompting…bless him. Not to kiss his ass too much, but, to me at least, it’s good to see that!

This or That S5 Maisel addition:
Lenny on GF again or Lenny as Special guest dif show
Rosa becoming the leader of the matchmaker mafia or Rose taking out the matchmaker mafia
Abe writing for the NYT or Abe taking LSD
(Scientific reasoning)
Midge Late Night Host or Midge Playing Sold Out Show at the Copa/Carnegie Hall
Shirley beating everyone at Mei’s family Mahjong parlour or Shirley excited to become a Bubbie again.
Joel opening another club or Joel working with Susie
Mei residency being in New York or Chicago
Moishe retiring or dressing Midge for a red carpet
Susie managing A+ Celebs or Susie going to Jail
MidgeLenny Just friends with kissing or giving them ago.
Handsom Guy (Milo) being Ethan’s teacher or Him being a Sidewalk schmuck
Time Jump or Dream Sequence
Woof so many questions!
Lenny on a different late night show. IRL Lenny's Jack Paar appearance was 1962 after all.
2. Rose taking out the Matchmaker Mafia. They have bad energy, Rose doesn't need that. I mean as much as I love Kelly Bishop, her shitty friends did threaten the Weissmans and that's just wild.
3. Abe has a perfectly good job at the Voice, so I'm going to say Abe on LSD because LOL. He just writes math equations on a wall, marveling at how beautiful they are.
4, Both. Her hosting duties mean that people know her, and her shows sell out.
5. Oh fuck both. Shirley just cleaning out the entire Mahjong parlor while chatting away about being a Bubbe again sounds great.
6. I think Mei deciding on Chicago makes things really interesting. It means Joel has some decisions to make. About his life, and his kids and the club, and whatever leftover feels he might have for Midge, if there are any. Could be super compelling. Also good for Mei, Chicago is a great city.
7. Moishe retiring. Let that man just wander around without pants on all the time, like he's always wanted to.
8. Let's keep Susie out of jail. I mean I still think it's going to happen, but I don't know if I want it to lol.
9. Give me the dumbest, fluffiest, happiest version of Midge and Lenny as a couple. Give it to me. I want it. I want these two assholes who can't stop talking to be together. GIVE IT.
10. I love Milo, but if I never saw his character again, that'd be cool. Making Midge complicit in someone else's adultery wasn't...actually funny.
11. Dream sequences so I can ignore them if I want to.

Candice did a rare podcast interview today and she did not hold back. SOMETHING happened on set in S1 that 1) turned her off from actually watching the show and 2) made her seriously consider quit. Basically without Jesse on set she would’ve quit a lot sooner
Hi there. I have not listened to it, outside of the short clip Candice posted on her insta story, no.
If that is the case that something happened on set in season 1 (which I believe she has hinted at before in past interviews as well if my memory is not playing tricks on me), that really fucking sucks. And I feel for her because I can barely imagine what it could have been like. Both for my lack of knowledge of what I view as the hellscape that is being in the public eye and working in that industry, but also specifically as a black women, which I cannot relate to. We already know how absolutely vile the public was to her from the very start, and it absolutely infuriates me that a large part of why she stayed (per the clip from instagram and several other interviews) was because of her fans. Because that tells me that, yet again, a black women feels the pressure to withstand so much bullshit because of what it means for ‘black representation’. A weight she should not have to bare nor feel she needs to. She wants to be an inspiration and barrier breaker so that those that come behind her have an easier time at … literally just playing a character on a television show. That’s what this women had to endure racism, hate and toxicity for. A fucking TV show. I respect her for doing it but it’s fucking bullshit that she had to.
ALLLL that being said. I will say, if she didn’t explicitly say WHAT happened (I’m assuming here she didn’t, based off what you said) I don’t think speculation is a great thing to add to the situation. Support definitely is. Sharing that you’re angry anyone or anything would make her feel this way, is. But diving deep into her personal life and timelines, creating narratives, and attacking people based on these theories is just a recipe for disaster. And clearly not what she want’s if she herself wasn’t specific.
We’ll never get all the pieces right. We can’t. We literally weren’t there. So speculation just muddles down the point it seems she’s trying to get across. She was treated poorly for no goddamn reason, and her fans should kick up a storm and be angry, but not to the point where it get’s so personal and assertively and specially speculative it blows back on her. Because it will. It’s her LIFE you’d be speculating about. A women who has said on several occasions she takes her privacy very seriously.
Not trying to say you are doing any of this, anon, sorry to be using your post to word vomit. I’ve gotten several messages regarding this podcast that I don’t plan on answer for many of the reasons listed above. I mean, me asserting any opinion about a piece of content I haven’t listened to is the definition of speculative imo (also just ignorant). So I was kind of using this to speak my peace. Most of this is based off previous knowledge, as well as just my general viewpoints around people and celebs and privacy, so if anything I’ve said was contradicted in her podcast, I own that.
