#beau's og posts

[dallonwrites]

okay so one of the early lover boy chapters i've been brainstorming is about how before he died bobby had a pet snake that beau was TERRIFIED of because well, he is terrified of snakes!! and they would try "exposure therapy" with it and maybe beau even held it ONCE but ultimately he still was like i am not going near it. especially if it's not in the tank. and after bobby dies the snake still lives in/is cared for in bobby's old house, which beau has not visited since everything happened, which he uses being scared of the snake as an excuse but really it's you know The Avoidance and Not Wanting To Confront The Reality Of Grief. but this snake is also like, one of the only Live things beau has that's tethered to bobby. and it's different to the other Live Things because those are just people they knew but this is the animal bobby loved and cared for? the intimacy of that is so? and now bobby is gone and beau is like i have to be so brave and confront my dead best friend's pet snake even though he is so scary to me. which also means i have to go back to the place where i cared for and watched my best friend die where i have not been since he died. yes this is very metaphorically on the nose but tbh i just wanted to write something with a snake LOL anyway all this infodump is to sayyyy guess who wants to turn another lover boy scene into a micro! i'm seeing the vision i'm seeing potential here!

#i would give it a very obnoxiously long and straight forward ass title #like When Your Best Friend Dies And All You Have Left Of Him Is The Pet Snake You Hate #okay it'd be smoother and cooler than that but you get me #the snake potentially called judas btw. bobby i love you #my reaction gif i posted this with was Not working so if you saw the og version of this #just the vision in my head of beau looking into the tank and being so scared #like u know the shot people do when someones looking into a tank and its like from Inside the tank almost or the other side #IM HAVING VISIONSSS

[napoleonic-sexyman-tournament]

So, I saw that you had no propaganda for the Iron Duke himself and thought that should be corrected, because I cannot let this man go unloved.

He is the ultimate sexyman. I don't really get that title or the requirements but I do know this man and he is the ultimate in Regency-era sexiness.

Field Marshal Sir Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, whose full list of titles merits its own Wikipedia page, he had so many (including Prince of Waterloo of the Kingdom of the Netherlands), was so well known for his debonairness that he was often called "the Beau" or Beau Wellesley.

Our dear Duke with his eyes of "a brilliant light blue," is quite the underdog made good. The fourth son of an Anglo-Irish aristocratic family, he was a bit of a loner as a child, whose star was eclipsed by the academic success of his older and younger brothers. Yet he had a remarkable talent for the violin, which as we know from Mrs. Jefferson is quite a good quality for a man to have. As a young man he was considered extremely good humored and drew "much attention" from female society. The Napiers of Celbridge thought he was a "saucy stripling" and he was also considered quite mischievous. Yet he also had a rich inner life, reading and contemplating the great philosophers of the day.

Yes, we know about his military victories in the Peninsula (the position of Field Marshal of the British Army and the accompanying baton were created for him) and his success at Waterloo, but he was also both romantic and a ladies' man. (I could go on about the military success but that's not really what this is about, is it?)

Want the romantic side? He fell in love with Kitty Pakenham while a lowly aide-de-camp in Dublin but, with no real position or prospects, was laughed away by her brother when he sought to marry her. In a fit of pique he destroyed his violin and turned firmly toward progressing his career. Over a decade later, after he had made something of himself in India, he learned she hadn't married, supposedly because she was still pining for him. Reader, he married her, despite thinking she'd grown ugly, and got two children from her in less than two years. I'm not kidding, this man was virile. They married in April of 1806, their first son was born in February, 1807, and their second son was born in January 1808. Although he wasn't sexual faithful to her, Wellington wore an amulet she gave him for over twenty years, and was still wearing it when he sat with her on her deathbed. When she was surprised he still wore it, he told her if she'd just bothered to check in the last twenty years, she'd have found it. Despite surviving her by twenty years, the Duke never remarried.

Now, please don't think badly of him for the lack of sexual fidelity. It was the Georgian era. Sexual fidelity was not a part of marriage in high society. Men didn't sleep only with their wives and some wives could be quite happy with that (for one, it's much easier not to have one pregnancy after another when your husband is sleeping with someone else). Not that women weren't also sleeping around. Which brings me to one of Wellington's more... interesting conquests: Lady Caroline Lamb, wife of William Lamb (the future Second Viscount Melbourne and Prime Minister). Why do I know that name, you ask? The OG pixie manic dream girl, Caro's much more notably known for her affair with Lord Byron. After that particular bit of nonsense, she was in Brussels with the rest of the English aristocracy during the 100 Days/post Waterloo. She and the Duke supposedly slept together and she took his cloak away as a souvenir.

Who else did the Duke liaise with? Well, there were the usual flings with actresses and singers, such as La Grassini. As previously noted in another post on this tumblr, he was noted as a stronger, better lover than Napoleon by another of their mutual lovers. Wellington also was a client of Harriette Wilson. He visited her when she was in Paris after the Duke of Beaufort bought her off, though this was before Beaufort stopped paying her, prompting her to publish her memoirs. She canvassed her old lovers, including Wellington, to see if they'd pay her not to be in them. Wellington send her a note in return saying "Publish and be Damned." Something about his succinct dismissal of her is just so hot.

Oh, want a bit more of Wellington being a bad boy? In 1829, while Prime Minister, he got into a duel that still is commemorated almost two hundred years later. King's College, London, was set up while Wellington was also advocating for Catholic Emancipation and this led to Lord Winchilsea publicly insulting Wellington's honor to the point that the Duke (who'd never dueled before or supported dueling generally) called him out. They went to Battersea Fields and settled the matter with pistols. Wellington won and Winchelsea apologized. King's College celebrates "Duel Day" every March.

Even better, want to read about Elizabeth Bennet and the Duke being witty and falling in love? Complete with scenes of the Duke showing he knows what to do with his cannon? Then let me recommend the third variation of An Ever Fixed Mark, A Dalliance with the Duke. I dare you not to vote for him for all eternity with that portrayal in your head.

An alternate take on "Tangled" (2010)

I've been on a roll with these lately! While I find "Tangled" underrated, there are some things I'd change to make it more enjoyable for me. BTW, I've never watched the animated series in it's entirety; I only know a few things, so I can't include much from that perspective.

In terms of Rapunzel, I'd wanna tweak a couple things, mainly nit-picks. One of them is making her older than 18; I feel like it shows that she's very young, and Flynn felt very mature by comparison, so it felt a bit off to me. I'd also love for Rapunzel to have another outfit. I love her OG one, but the concept art outfits are gorgeous as well. Maybe she packs a change of clothes. Plus I wish she looked a little bit less frail, given her athleticism. I'm not saying she's gotta be buff, but less thin than she was in the final product. Just my two cents. Plus let's think about her using her crossbow along with her frying pan. And I'd probably make her cynical about the world, reeling back on the naivete a bit. And controversial change: make her illiterate. I thought to myself why Gothel would go through the trouble of teaching her how to read, especially if it kept her docile. I could imagine her giving Rapunzel a lot of misinformation, which Pascal does his best to fix. Her love interest would teach her how to read, which I feel like would be a great bonding experience. Speaking of which...

2. Replace Flynn Ryder with Bastion. I find a lovable guy trying to get out of being a thief more interesting than the dime-a-dozen pessimistic thief trope (check out my post on that). He's basically Kristoff, and I love the size difference between them. And given that Bastion is a thief and had a rough life, it's likely he didn't learn to read much, either. Perhaps they learn together--or maybe he was taught how to read and taught Rapunzel. Either way, it makes for a romantic bonding experience. Plus Bastion trying to escape his boss gives him his own story arc; in the OG film, the Stabbington brothers pursue Flynn, but this amounts to nothing because of Gothel. Their biggest role was helping Gothel make Rapunzel think the outside world was dangerous. Bastion is eventually framed for his boss' crimes and blinded, and his dog Beau guides him back to Rapunzel. I did still want Gothel to kill him and Rapunzel bring him back to life, but maybe blinding and death is too much at once.

3. The powers of Rapunzel's hair has different parameters. Similar to the animated series, it is very durable and difficult to cut; this is revealed to be due to Rapunzel's subconscious nature to distrust others. As a result, it isn't until Rapunzel falls in love with (and thus trusts) Bastion that he can cut her hair. I think it's a neat metaphor for letting your guard down, a Samson and Delilah situation--except this doesn't end poorly.

4. Adventures in Corona are WILDLY different. Rapunzel and Bastion spend more time there in the film--in fact, I'd say they spend about half of the movie there. Rapunzel accidentally heals someone else while healing Bastion, and decides to use her powers to heal others in Corona, albeit anonymously because of Gothel scaring her about people wanting to manipulate her. This turns out to be true when Rapunzel's identity is revealed. She is further exotified due to her blonde hair while everyone in Corona has brown, black, or red hair (not sure if this is the case in the OG film, but in my version it is). Gothel makes this worse, revealing the decay incantation while Rapunzel is asleep, harming someone in the process. Bastion helps her escape before she is brought before the king and queen for a trial, and Gothel "rescues" her while Bastion takes the fall for it and his boss' crimes. Plus I'd want to use the demo lyrics for the decay incantation; they feel more haunting (albeit shorter).

5. More of Gothel's backstory is explored, and she is less overdramatic in this version, so that she comes off as more serious and concerned, and may even make the audience question whether she really cares about Rapunzel. Plus her gradual aging is more apparent, as when she visits Rapunzel, she barely recognizes Gothel at first, as she's aged a lot since Rapunzel left.

6. Varian and Cassandra are canon here, given that Rapunzel spends more time in Corona and forms platonic connections. I wanted to work in the moondrop storyline, but the film has enough going on already. I will admit I'm kinda torn about including Varian because of the sci-fi elements that come with him being an alchemist and the clash it makes with the magical and mystical vibes of the film, preferring instead for him to be a wizard to expand on the fantasy aspect--but that's probably an unpopular opinion since it's the exact opposite of who he is, to my understanding. Cassandra is kind of key to helping Rapunzel question Gothel, though--not in a direct way like Bastion, but due to the fact that Cassandra looks like Gothel. This is jarring to Rapunzel, as she first dismisses her as a descendant of Gothel (her mother does adore her youth, after all), though this only gives Rapunzel MORE questions to ask her "mother," especially as she now realizes they don't look anything alike. If anything, she at least wants to ask about her father, which does kinda pave the way for an updated version of the deleted song "Are There Girls In the World Like Me?" I also wanted to include a subplot where Gothel manipulates Cassandra (who in my version, never knew her mother, and doesn't see a resemblance due to her aged appearance) into being envious of Rapunzel for being raised by her mother, but I don't think there's enough time to fully flesh that out with everything else. Honestly, a part of me wants to remove Cassandra and Gothel's relationship entirely and have Cassandra exist independent of her show counterpart's history since there isn't time to really focus on it.

7. Bastion is royalty. Perhaps ripping off of Barbie's Rapunzel a bit, I'd take into account Flynn Ryder actually being royalty and making Bastion the kidnapped son of a neighboring royal, making him once again similar to Rapunzel; kidnapped and used for dastardly deeds. This threatens to throw the kingdom into war, and Gothel hopes it destroys any thoughts of searching for Rapunzel, as she tells King Edmund that Bastion was kidnapped by the Corona royal family. I do like the idea that Bastion does have a sibling or two just so he isn't first in line for the throne, though; it's tough enough that Rapunzel has never learned to rule a kingdom, and Bastion being the heir to his throne doesn't bode well, either--at least not in a practical sense. I love the idea that by the end of the film, everyone is left with introspective thoughts and able to start anew after all the pain they experienced.

Lemme know what you think! I thought hard on it, and similar to "Big Hero 6," I had a lot I wanted to include, but it may be too much for one film.

If Netflix pif is cursed as well it would be interesting if the samadhi fire burned through the curse red girl just keep having multiples first twins then four more all daughters

Pif : thank goodness the curse doesn't affect her

Dbk: yes now we can spoil our grandcalves all we want

They only way to tell apart is what flower they're growing in their hair

Twin 1: orchids

Twin 2: hibiscus

quadruplet 1: plum blossoms

quadruplet2: Chinese rose

quadruplet3: lotus

quadruplet4: Chinese peony

referencing my au post about PIF having a fertility curse from her mom; Xiwangmu.

although it does depend on if the Netflix version of PIF is related to the gods, or is an unrelated rakashsa/Rakshasi like in the og text. Then again a lot of other text describes her as having some "conflict" with the Queen Mother of the West that led to her rebelling against the heavens, so it could still work.

I am disappointed that the Netflix movie doesn't have a design for PIF whilst having the rest of the fam. I like the concepts some people have of her having long black hair, and dark eye-makeup that mimics her daughter's smokey eyes.

I could just imagine Netflix!PIF and DBK worrying that their little firelily will have troubles of her own when she and her beau (unfortunately a monkey boy) decide to have kids.

Then suddenly?? News of twin grandbabies comes in shortly after Red Girl and Xiaoshi get married?

Netflix!SWK/Cherry: "Oh yeah, Macaque thinks a side-effect of being part Earth-deity is a major fertility boost. It's why we had to slow down on making the pebbles." Netflix!LEM/Olive: "And most likely the curse inflicted upon you didn't pass on to Red since Xiwangmu didn't mention *grand*-children in her wording." Netflix!DBK & PIF: *look at eachother for sometime before pulling Xiaoshi in for a hug* Netflix!PIF, : "I apologise for any reservations I had for you, nǚxù! [son-in-law]" Xiaoshi: *confused but delighted*

Red's just happy that her parents and her husband are finally getting along.

I love the idea of needing the hair flowers to distinguish the girls from one another since they come out identical/nearly identical. Just little horns, bluish skin, and long tails.

The oncoming storm of firey daughters will bring the Immortal realm to it's knees. Like the army of Scotsman's daughters in Samurai Jack;

What's your favourite part of the Hermann/Halstead Production series? Who are your favourite characters to write for? Which characters who have not interacted much do you look forward to writing interacting/want to interact? And is there anything that you wish you had added in after you'd posted it?

❤️❤️❤️❤️ love and adore this series!

Oooh, okay, this is fun!

My favourite part is writing the whole fix-it aspect of the AU and writing the relationships between everyone. I've become very attached to this little gang!

Favourite characters to write for: Bex for sure and writing scenes with her and any of her brothers. I was surprised at how much I am loving writing from Will's POV. Especially scenes with him and Connor. Beau has also caught me by surprise, lol - he's fun to write for sure.

I really want more with the OG Fire crew so I'm working on making that happen. There's a bit coming up in Part 19 with Bex, Shay, and Otis that I'm really excited about. I also want to bring Bex's friend group in more and flesh put those characters. Oh and more with Kevin and Sylvie, working on that too. 🥰 Plus more with the temporary, but fun ship that I hinted at.

Hmm, I think everything I've missed I've been able to shove in somehow, lol - not always as smoothly as I'd like. I have the whole series mapped out though (for up to like...Part 50 at this point, help 😅) so I haven't had TOO many instances when I had to squeeze something in. (....also, this ask is making me think I missed something 🤣🤣🤣)

Thanks for the ask! This was fun!

I agree that the mismatch in dean's appearance which struck in eyes was not his outfit rather more of his hairstyle and bread. Even if he were wearing his usual flannel then also it Won't suit. We have adapted to Jensen's new look and new roles now and it is difficult to see dean in jensen when his whole fashion is different. I was first shocked, then disappointed and then angry when I saw Beau Arlen talking with Bobby in a scene-cap. I fully understand he cannot just cut his hair and beard for one day cameo of Dean Winchester especially if he is working between other projects, but still they should have been more careful and handled the look with much attention and figured out something else to make him 'dean' again rather than going with the flow and assume jensen is dean always.

(2) The hair and beard could easily be explained with Jensen not being able to cut/shave it off because of Big Sky, regardless if he would be able to grow it back in time to film. The clothes were an odd choice, because denim and flannel span decades, even when he went back to the '40s he didn't look out of place, Eliot Ness just thought he was a hobo.

*****************

Putting these together since they're on the same topic.

Yeah, this is kinda my thought - I can understand Jensen not changing his grooming for one episode because of other projects and as i said in the other post, it's not like Dean didn't wear costumes several times. But I think Jensen & Co. really didn't consider how jarring it might seem to some of the audience when Dean's look really didn't ever change *that* much, even with the other outfits. Especially when mainly what Dean was there doing was expositional filler, which Jensen himself said in one of those interviews was rarely something left to the brothers in the OG by the end. So that's at least two strikes that are going to feel distractingly not-Dean for at least some of the audience.

Disney Villain Polycule Posts Part 2- Flustering the Horned King

WOOOO ok I had. An Unreasonably Good Time writing this. Hope you like it! This is part of my DV'Cule postings, link here for the OG post!

It's under a cut becuase holy moley I didn't realise how long this had gotten.

Maleficent x The Horned King x The Headless Horseman. Fluster Time.

Villains the fall into two broad groups. Loud, flamboyant, overt evil, the kind that draws the eye and fills up a stage and basks in the ire their dramatics draw – villains like Jafar, Yzma and Ursula.

Then there are the darker, quieter kinds of evil – no songs, barely any lines, evil in action more than words, rendering them twice as effective. These villains bask in horror.

The Horned King is the defining feature of the second type of villain.

Maleficent suspects that in his own world, greater forces were at play to stop the King succeeding than a mere farm boy – The King’s brutality and ambition almost exceed her own. His cruelty is something she has often...appreciated, among her partners. There is little posturing, or conjecture, his threats are promises that he will follow through on and isn’t that just a breath of deliciously fresh air.

It has taken work to earn him as a partner. Her persistence was surprising to the Lich, especially since she had taken his silences for refusal as first, not the shocked uncertainty it had later been revealed as. The Headless Horseman, once comfortable in approaching her, had commiserated especially hard. His own attempts at companionship had been held up by a brick wall of oblivious lich king for months.

For a while she had been fine with knowing the King only through his persona. All villains wear masks, after all, and he is no different. But lately she has been craving a deeper knowledge of her companion beyond ominous-yet-comfortable silences and the occasional scathing commentary.

Their King is famously difficult to read, and she and the horseman have come to the sinister realisation that they have a common goal in getting him to emote more while in their company.

It wouldn’t be sinister if they were anybody else, but they are themselves and they are villains and they could make a picnic date in the park sound foreboding, so.

They have spent many an evening not-so-subtly eying their King from across the room, learning his subtle little tells. An annoyed twitch of a hand here, a subtle shift of weight in his steps as a form of dismissal, the way his shoulders rise in offence vs roll back when pleased.

They have only seen him fully animated the once.

To see him tall, outstretched, a blade in one hand – the furious crackle of crimson power in the other, eye sockets burning with hellish light – his voice resounding off the walls…

The Horseman needed to lean on Alpatraum for a good minute while his knees recovered and his beloved gave him a run for most threatening evil laugh. Maleficent was too busy tattooing the scene before them to the inside of her eyelids to comment.

...this image contrasted with a sputtering, wide eyed, off balance King as they let loose their first barrage of compliments is delightful.

“I- what??” his voice echoes quietly as what little is left of his face warps with confusion, caught between the near predatory grins of his beau’s.

The shoulders are not up yet, bafflement preventing their rise, so they move in for stage 2: physical affection.

They are both taller and take full advantage – Maleficent softly raising his chin as the Horseman steps behind and lays hands on his shoulders – and there’s a strange keening noise that only dogs and gwythents can hear coming from the Kings chest and yep, mhm, just let him die again already because there’s no coming back from that-

- they have the audacity to chuckle and slip closer. He has no idea what to do with his hands, which are shaking, and under Maleficent’s thumb a wild – in that it’s almost approaching living speeds – heartbeat makes itself traitorously known and his tongue has forgotten how to function so just let the earth swallow him he can’t deal with this p l e a s e.

“Something the matter, your Majesty?” She has the gall to be completely unruffled - he’s halfway to a response before the Horseman squeezes his shoulders and all thought pitches off a cliff.

“Hng.”

“Eloquent.”

“Shut. Up.”

They laugh, because of course he’s being grouchy about it, even if they can see a colossal (sickly looking, due to the darkness of his blood) blush under the hood and the King’s fingers are all but fisted in Maleficent’s robes. “I don’t- Don’t- mng.”

The Horseman has trailed his hands further down his arms and he’s so wound up he can’t decide if he likes the change in placement or wants to jam them back onto his shoulders under the fur stole.

They repeat the process several times. Each time with the goal of a new noise, a new twitch, the burn in his sockets when he realises he likes something particularly well.

It was less revealing something already existing as it was teaching the King that this was something even possible to have. The lessons bordered on mortifying, but, never actually unwelcome.

The first time he stiffly, but with purpose, strides across the room and slips his hand into the Horseman’s – face flushed and eyes staring anywhere but at his partners – was the day that the curtains caught fire because he was not expecting the joyous twirling hug that followed and lashed out as he was lifted off his feet in shock. Maleficent refuses to replace them for the fact they can tease him about it every time he initiates affection afterwards.

He doesn’t want to replace them either.

🌻!

Neeks! 💜

Okay, things I feel rambly about at the moment: my desires to be a writer.

But Ally, you're saying, you're already a writer! To which I say yes, but I would like to actually finish an honest-to-God original fiction novel. Which I haven't done since I was in high school.

(Rest in Peace, Leave No Trace and The Yellow House and Never Safe. The OGs).

Every time I've tried including during (beloathed) nanowrimo, I get a ways into it, and then just can't keep going any further.

Part of this is definitely self-sabotage, as all of these stories have been concocted since I became a more serious fan fiction writer, and I am A. bad at code switching and B. afraid that if I don't post my fics often enough, that people will forget about me. It's silly, but alas.

Anyway, I have wanted to be a writer, a novelist, since I was probably 8 or 9 years old. The bulk of my life, I have wanted to write books for people to read. Hell, I still want to do that. I even have a few ideas floating around the old cranium right now, they're just competing with everything else.

Also funny story, one of the books I tried writing... and there's about 20k of it floating around between a few of my hard drives? Is definitely a slight homage to MASH, because of course it is. It's informally called Letters and it's about two corpsmen in a MASH Unit who fall in love. Here's a snippet:

He opens the door, and immediately collapses onto the first bunk he sees.

“Was starting to worry we lost you,” Quincy’s voice says, wearily amused, coming from nearby.

The door clatters again, and then, there’s a shy voice. “Are you guys alright?”

“I’m hungry enough to eat a bear, and tired enough to sleep for a week,” Quincy answers Cosmo.

Beau rolls over. “Sit down, Cosmo, stay a while.”

“I would, but you’re um.” He blushes. “You’re on top of my bag.”

“Shit.” Beau crawls back out. “Here I just thought all army cots were this uncomfortable. What did you do, Cos, pack the lumps from your own mattress?”

Cosmo blushes, and Beau realizes too late what he’s said. “No, they’re… they’re books.”

“Books,” Quincy repeats, staggered.

Beau is too busy watching, as Cosmo picks up the duffel like it’s nothing, and carries it over to his own bunk, directly across from Beau’s.

(side note: it took me forever to find the document this was in, why do I name things so weirdly??)

(side note #2: Cosmo was not initially named Cosmo, it was a placeholder name and then due to my enduring love for Cosmo Brown, refused to leave).

Anyway, that's my ramble for the evening. maybe someday I'll be sharing books with y'all and not just my fics.

Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…

Kail Lowry Reveals the, um, Interesting Names She Chose For Her Twins

Kail has revealed the names of her latest additions to her ever-growing litter of kids!

The former ‘Teen Mom 2’ star posted a video to Instagram earlier this week, showing her with her recently born twins— a boy and a girl— along with an announcement of the babies’ names. 

“Complete. Whole. Everybody’s here,” she captioned the video.

Blankets on the babies’ cribs revealed that her new son’s name is “Verse” and her (only) daughter’s name is “Valley.” 

While Kail’s name reveals garnered her plenty of congratulatory messages, she also received some backlash for the, um, unique name choices.

Kail has yet to share what inspired her baby name choices.

Amber Portwood’s Ex-Boyfriend Dimitri Garcia Shades Amber; Insinuates She’s “Crazy” 

Amber’s Belgian one-time beau has moved on— and is hinting about what his time with the ‘Teen Mom’ star was like. 

‘Teen Mom OG’ fans will remember that Amber dated Dimitri Garcia– a Belgian man she met online— for a long period of time. Ambie even flew her European lover to her home in Indiana several times so she could get to know him in-person—and demand he take a lie-detector test…as you do.

Anyway, Amber is now dating an Indiana man named Gary (but not that Gary). On Friday, Dimitri made it known that he, too, has a new boo, posting a photo with his special lady to Instagram. 

In the comment section, several fans of the show commented that they were thrilled that Dimitri “found someone that isn’t Amber.” Dimitri thanked them, and even responded to another commenter who wrote that “Amber was crazy!”

“You are quite right,” Dimitri replied.

It’s unknown when Amber and Dimitri officially ended their geographically-challenged relationship. The couple split in 2021, but in July 2023, Amber and Dimitri appeared to be “on again.” A source told The Sun at the time that Dimitri had been acting as a “sounding board” for the ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ star while she dealt with custody drama with (second) baby daddy, Andrew Glennon. 

Obviously, things went south in the relationship shortly after that interview, because Amber began dating Gary 2.0 several months later. 

Amber has yet to comment on Dimitri’s remarks about her. 

Jenelle Evans Claims She— Not Kail Lowry— Was Lindsie Chrisley’s First Choice to Do the Coffee Convos Podcast

Earlier this week, Jenelle took to social media to spiral attempt (yet again) to get the attention of her former ‘Teen Mom 2’ co-star, Kail. In a post to Facebook (that was quickly deleted) Jenelle randomly announced that she could have had Kail’s spot on the successful Coffee Convos podcast, because Kail’s co-host Lindsie Chrisley approached her first to do the project.

Jenelle– who has made several attempts at podcasting on her own with crash-and-burn results— stated that she turned Lindsie down, causing the former Chrisley Knows Best star to then ask Kail to be her co-host.

“Fun fact: Did you know Lindsie Chrisley came to me first [about] starting a podcast before she started with Kail?” Jenelle wrote on Facebook. “I told Lindsie I didn’t want to do it because I just wasn’t interested with podcasting at the time.” 

Lindsie and Kail did not respond to Jenelle’s out-of-the-blue declaration. However, in the past Kail has invited Jenelle to come on Coffee Convos, as well as her Barely Famous podcast, but Jenelle has declined. 

Coffee Convos— which was started in 2017—has gone on to become very successful with Kail and Lindsie as its co-hosts. 

Jenelle’s attempt to do The Jenelle Evans Podcast in 2021 was cringy, with the fired ‘Teen Mom 2’ star only putting out two episodes, one of which featured Jenelle’s ever-present husband David Eason as the “special guest” who basically burped and grunted into the mic for an hour. (You can relive that horror here by clicking here to read The Ashley’s recap of the episode!) 

Earlier in 2021, Jenelle was hired for the Girl S**t podcast, which was supposed to bring girls from reality TV, social media influencers and other areas of entertainment together to do a joint podcast. Jenelle was promptly fired from the project before it even got off the ground. 

Last month, it appeared that Jenelle was once again attempting to jump into the podcasting world, with her The Time of The Day podcast. However, earlier this week, she stated on Twitter that she has reconsidered doing that podcast because she is “afraid of the backlash.”

TikTok Is Ablaze Over This Mascara Drama Just when we thought that beauty guru drama was long over, TikTok is here to prove that it has only just begun.Popular TikTok beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira has been in hot water many times before, most notably for being accused of faking her intense Boston accent. Now, she's under fire for faking a mascara review. In a video posted to her 14 million followers, she reviewed the L’Oreal Telescopic Life mascara. Although she disclosed that the video was sponsored and she was a L'Oreal partner, people still felt duped when she showed the results on one eye. Eagle-eyed viewers believed she was using false lashes and spotted some of it hanging off the corner of her eye. @mikaylanogueira THESE ARE THE LASHES OF MY DREAMS!! @lorealparisusa never lets me down 😭 #TelescopicLift #LorealParisPartner #LorealParis @zoehonsinger "Looks like Ardell Wispies to me," one commenter said. Another user says, "Don't gaslight me rn Mikayla."Nogueria defended herself and owed the impressive results to technique. "Nooo, just three/four coats and my tight liner," she replied to one comment. When someone else tried to pull the false lashes card, she said, "Nooo omg L’Oreal would never allow that in a partnered post!!! But y’all are proving my point."The TikTok beauty community has sprung into action, seeking to test the mascara for themselves and tell the truth. The YouTube beauty OGs came out of the woodwork to serve some clumpy justice. James Charles went up to bat and was surprised to find that the mascara did a very good job with no falsies necessary, although he did have to curl the lashes a lot. @jcharlesmakeup An UNsponsored Loreal Telescopic Mascara review 🙃 Likewise, Manny MUA had great things to say about it. @mannymua733 oh honey…. it’s time for a review of the l’oréal telescopic lift mascara 👀 #review #mascara #telescopiclift #makeup #drugstore #loreal And Aysha Harun emphasized the importance of integrity while also saying that the mascara did exactly what was advertised. @aysha_harun Was she wearing falsies or is this mascara ACTUALLY good? #lorealtelescopiclift #telescopiclift #mikaylamascara #lorealmascara #mascarareview #honestreview #mikaylanogueira Erin Parsons, Maybelline's Global Makeup Artist, offered up some advice for how to get photoshoot-ready volume and definition. @erinparsonsmakeup #falseeyelashes #mascara #mikayla #mikaylanogueira #eyelashes The controversy even awoke Jeffree Star from his slumber. It appears he's gearing up to return to the beauty space after the 2020 controversy in which he was called out alongside Shane Dawson for their history of racism and problematic comments. Star also had added sexual assault and violence allegations against him. @jeffreestar The truth about the @mikaylanogueira lash scandal ❤️ PS. My stitches and duets are turned on. #lorealtelescopic #jeffreestar #makeupreview #mascara Star maintains a loyal audience online and is currently teasing his NFL player boyfriend. No, Star won't be at the Super Bowl as his new beau's team didn't make it. Since the video was posted six days ago, Nogueria has not made any other content even though it appears that people do think the mascara is impressive. Whether she was lying or not remains to be seen, but at least we got a flashback to the good old days of beauty community drama.
