I know we say “this is a Renaissance painting” a lot, but THIS is a hell of a Renaissance painting:

[L to R in row behind Princess Diana: David Bowie, Crystal Taylor, Brian May, Rodger Taylor]

#Lady Di #Music #queen #David Bowie #live aid #they’re definitely just bumming cigarettes of David Bowie but I can’t get over this picture #why is Bob Geldof like 2in from Prince Charles that’s funny too #this is a mood when it comes to Lady Di ngl #love all the drama around Freddie Mercury not coming and Crystal Taylor taking his ticket - gossip rags all speculating that he hates Diana #when the truth is almost certainly that if Freddie Mercury had to sit next to David Bowie for an entire concert there would be a fist fight #also Elton John is there sitting to the left of Diana but he got cropped whoops

Reading through a bunch of Batman and Danny Phantom crossover fanfics and I notice the "no meta" rule.

It'll be hilarious if it started off as a "no metas in Gotham cause do you want Superman pumped up with fear toxin?" sort of memo and it got into the rumor mill and it spiralled out of control into "Batman is meta-racist and a hypocrite since one of his Bats is clearly a meta" and Batman has no idea how to clear that up without throwing out a bad idea suggestion out into his rogues gallery.

#batman #random rambles #ideas #worldbuilding #world building #fanfic ideas #fic ideas #story ideas #danny phantom #Batman's no metas rule is basically unenforceable but people assume anyway #Gotham rumor mill is extra given the villains joining in on the gossip and speculation #someone would be wondering what a meta-racist is and it'll be a whole kettle of fish

All I’m saying is that if I were Sarah I really wouldn’t appreciate the way you weird fucks are examining her personal relationship. She probably just wants to be left the fuck alone and to move on. LET HER.

#rory culkin #sarah scrivener #like it’s one thing to speculate and gossip a little amongst ourselves #but making a fuckin google doc of the timeline is weird and embarrassing for all of us

But even if he was enjoying a conversation with a pretty girl, so what? I knew people would start crossing boundaries, first implying that there is something between him and Jacob, who is married, and now insinuating that he is unfaithful to his girlfriend. People, you should just enjoy his work as an actor and stay in your lane

👆 Exactly.

I keep saying this, but that (and that encompasses all that here and other asks re rumors etc) is not our business. Please stop jumping to conclusions or rumors or even judgement laden comments re cheating when this is. not. our. business. Please. No matter if true/real or not btw. These are real people. Not something the fandom owns or fans have a right to.

Shit like that has led to real life consequences before and we should just be happy with what they share with us. Actors have stopped sharing with fans over things like this.

I know we’re all starved for content but please… rumors like these take on a life of their own all too easily. Again, these are real people, and their private lives are not for us to judge.

Please don’t make them close down.

#anonymous #asks #ask nalyra #or at least keep the speculation and comments to DMs and Discords etc #not in public #I know gossiping is fun for some but please #some of the writers ARE here and on Twitter #we do not know if they are as well just bc they’re not officially #please treat them with respect #iwtv cast #iwtv #sam reid #jacob anderson

one really fun way to come up with fic ideas imo is to pace around your house and pretend your gossiping about the situation

like I just spent 10 minutes pretending to be Pansy while walking around my house gossiping about a crashed wedding and Draco's dad attempting to murder Percy

"And then you will never guess- Percy was not Percy-"

"what do you mean Percy was not Percy"

"It was his brother using polyjuice"

"Polyjuice??"

"Yes- ok so It turns out that it was just a distraction and Draco was already out of the house and heading with him to France."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"How did Lucius react?"

"He was fuming- it was absolutely hilarious. He brought it on himself from what I understand."

#percy weasley #Look its just very fun #ive never used one of these concepts for a real fic but i do it all the time because its just silly #like you can create an elaborate soap opera all in your head just based on what one person tells another #99% of the time im pretending im Lavender or Pansy because i just think they would be gossips but it just depends on who would make sense #in my head to have witnessed whatever scenario i'm thinking about #draco/percy #also fun to speculate what are exaggerations(or even out right lies) and what are just straight fact

Dear now that the week is over some thoughts on Charlos?? Time to sum up

oh man. oh man oh man oh man. i already know that this is going to be long so let me just throw down a “read more” right away.

first off, i definitely think there’s been some improvement in terms of getting rid of the tension they’ve had going on ever since media day. thursday and friday were pretty awkward, saturday was an improvement, and on sunday they were... i want to say partly thawed if you want to put it in cooking terms (i was just cooking so this is the first thing that popped into mind, sorry about that). i was really hoping for a double podium because i know that definitely would have helped grease the gears, but i’m pretty hopeful that they’ll manage to sort things out even without a double. we’ve still got a week before suzuka, less than that before media day, and with the way carlos was actively seeking charles out—which definitely worked because charles appeared to be more at ease as the weekend went on—we’re pretty much on an upward trajectory that should, hopefully, lead to them going back to their usual sickeningly affectionate selves. tl;dr, i’m going to ride the high of this weekend all the way to suzuka, and i’m keeping all of my fingers crossed that next weekend will be even better.

#inbox #anon #this is more speculative than my gossip tag would warrant so... #we do a bit of speculating #that works i guess?

[bcofl0ve]

i knew- but now it’s official 😅. the real masters of the air is the friends we made along the way!

#i hope the fall release that’s being speculated now means early fall i cannot wait longer please #gossip time with mollie #austin butler #masters of the air

Before things keep escalating let me get this draft out of the way. Warning this is full of assumptions.

Since now we went from it being a rumor to it being factual, I can more freely explain my reasoning as to why I believed this was heading to marriage from the day of the pap walk on; the two main reasons:

1. Due to the way things went with Jenny; I always assumed after Jenny he was either going to show up married out of nowhere or whoever he would come out publicly with was the person he knew for a fact he was going to marry. That just so happens to be Alba.

2. I sensed it the moment he set foot in Central Park with her; and I’ve brought up this point before. Regardless of how planned that pap walk was, in the great scheme of things he wasn’t going to claim Miss 25 yo Lolita Wannabe for less than something as serious as marriage, what it implicated for his brand wasn’t worthy for just “dating” much less for a dumb stunt. This is something a lot of people in the fandom seem to have a problem to grasp, one of Chris’ biggest assets, if not the biggest asset, is his image; him and his team were not going to play with that just because; this is why the PR theory never stood a chance with me.

Then you add the other items in the room you can read; I could never brush off Alba and her infamous wedding board on Pinterest the prior month, October 2022; and her WP playlist (Presumably Wedding Playlist) around the same time. The way the People Magazine article was written; they put emphasis in the word love and his family; part of me thought there was a chance they were emphasizing the seriousness to make Chris look less cliche-ish but the way that article was worded it sounded like it was laying the groundwork for a different announcement later on.

I have always tried to focus on the big picture, and just by looking at it, where this was going was just common sense to me.

Frey Civil War: The Many Walders & Waldas Frey

1. Lord Walder Frey of The Crossing (92 y/o), Patriarch of House Frey. Has outlived 7 wives & married an 8th. Hosted the Red Wedding.

2. Walda Frey (9 y/o), daughter of Janyce Hunter. 2nd in the Frey line of inheritance, as the assumed heir of Edwyn Frey (eldest son of Ryman, the eldest son of Ser Stevron by his 1st wife, Corenna Swann: Ser Stevron was Lord Frey's eldest son, by his 1st wife Perra Royce, & was found dead in his tent after the Battle of Oxcross).

3. "Black" Walder Frey (20~42 y/o), 2nd son of an unnamed spouse & the late Ryman Frey (a key conspirator of the RW, later found hanged by outlaws near Fairmarket). He is the younger brother of Edwyn & the elder half-brother of Walton. Black Walder was a key conspirator in the Red Wedding & the killer of a Vance.

4. Walder Vance (9~29 y/o), eldest son of Ser Dafyn Vance & the late Maegelle Frey (only daughter of Ser Stevron, born of his 2nd marriage with Jeyne Lydden). His exact relation to Houses Vance of Atranta & Wayfarer's Rest is uncertain, as is his relation to the Vance slain by Black Walder at the RW.

5. Walton Frey (32~52 y/o), 3rd son of Ser Stevron & his only child by his 3rd wife (Marsella Waynwood, died in childbirth). He has only appeared in appendices, thus far.

6. "Fair" Walda Frey (18 y/o), only daughter of Deana Hardyng & Walton Frey. She was one of many Frey women who danced with King Robb Stark at the Red Wedding.

7. "Red" Walder Frey (15 y/o), 4th & youngest son of Genna Lannister & Emmon Frey (2nd son of Lord Frey by his 1st wife, Perra Royce). He is a squire at Casterly Rock.

8. "White" Walda Frey (11 y/o), only daughter of Jeyne Beesbury & Rhaegar Frey (2nd son of Ser Aenys, Lord Frey's 3rd son by his 1st wife). Her father is currently MIA.

9. Walder Haigh (5 y/o), eldest son of Ser Harys Haigh (eldest son of Perriane, Lord Frey's eldest daughter & his last child with Perra Royce). Knights of House Haigh participated in the RW massacre.

10. Walder Goodbrook (10 y/o), eldest son of Ser Garse Goodbrook & Kyra Frey (daughter of Ser Jared, 4th son of Lord Frey & 1st by his 2nd wife, Cerenna Swann). Knights of House Goodbrook participated in the RW massacre.

11. "Fat" Walda Frey (16 y/o), daughter of Mariya Darry & the late Merrett Frey (9th son of Lord Frey & the 4th by his 3rd wife, Amarei Crakehall). She was one of the many Frey women to dance with King Robb at the RW & was then wed to Lord Roose Bolton.

12. "Little" Walder Frey (9 y/o), only son of Mariya Darry & Merrett Frey. Found dead at Winterfell.

13. Walda Frey (5 y/o), 2nd daughter of Leonella Lefford & "Lame" Lothar Frey (12th son of Lord Frey & 1st by his 4th wife, Alyssa Blackwood). Her father, alongside Lord Roose Bolton, was one of the primary engineers of the RW.

14. "Big" Walder Frey (9 y/o), eldest son of Sallei Paege & Ser Jammos Frey (13th son of Lord Frey, 2nd by his 4th wife). He has been a ward at Winterfell for most of the series, alongside his late cousin Little Walder.

18. Walda Rivers, daughter of Bastard Walder & a Lady Charlton.

19. Walda Rivers (5 y/o), daughter of Ser Aemon Rivers (son of Bastard Walder) & niece of the other Walda Rivers.

Just For Fun:

the average age of a Walder "Frey" is 19½ years old. this does not take into account Walders whose ages are vague estimates.

with Lord Walder (an outlier who should not have been counted) Excluded, the average Walder is 9 years old.

the average "Walda" is 10/11 years old.

in addition to those named above, ASOIAF has four other "Walders": 2 historic Ser Walders from the reign of Daeron II, of Houses Woodmere & Stackspear; the last known Lord of House Tarbeck, Lord Walderan; and the Objectively Best Walder in the series, Walder of Winterfell (16~ y/o).

#house frey #the many walders frey #valyrianscrolls #there is foreshadowing hiding here somewhere i'm sure of it #lord walder alleges that all these walders & waldas are named to curry his favour #this generally rings true but then you get fair walda & the complete absence of her father walton from any house gossip #which instantly made walton my 2nd favourite frey (to speculate on) #poor walder of winterfell did not deserve his name to be so besmirched by association #the one true walder is not even a frey #red wedding mentions #winterfell murder mysteries mention #just for fun trivia

If cardigan is about Matty, what do we have with august and betty, considering that these three songs are one love story?

Kinda interesting that Matty and Betty rhyme... I know the story with all these names, but it's still funny to me

The pesky teenage love triangle strikes again! Anon, I admit - I have the same concern. Is Matty Betty because they're the same number of letters and end with a "t-t-y"? And, would that then mean that Taylor is James? After all, she was named for James Taylor… Or, is Matty James because they're both male? Your guess is as good as mine! I do, of course, have some speculation about the love triangle… (you knew it was comin'!)

Recently, Taylor chose to mash-up 'August' with 'Getaway Car' and 'The Other Side of the Door', which is interesting. On Twitter somewhere, I saw some comments about how we're getting all sides of the story, here. August: the perspective of the other woman, Getaway Car: the perspective of the cheater, and TOSOTD: the perspective of the woman spurned.

When it comes to making sense of this storyline, there are a few things I like to consider. It seems like there was some sort of undefined "situationship" between Taylor and Matty in the early days - I'm basing this off of 'Is It Over Now?' and 'TooTime', songs that share a melody.

While Taylor's song is lyrically much more fraught, Matty does imply that he's cried over this "situationship" ("you wet my eyes"). Pair that with Taylor's 1989 tour speeches, like this one before 'All You Had To Do Was Stay':

"I don't really like grey areas. I don't really like when people say 'I don't know', when it's a basic yes or no question. Do you want to be with me? Yes or no is the answer. And I tend to think that, you know, relationships are much less complicated than we make them if we simplify it to two basic options. Would you like to hear the two basic options, Boston? Okay. I think that your two real decisions and your two real options in a relationship are: you either leave or stay."

Recently (I think at MSG?), Matty introduced 'A Change of Heart' by describing himself as an "indecisive young man"… now, I get that most people don't think that song is about Taylor… however, that wasn't historically the case! (and that's certainly an interesting rabbit hole to fall down…)

Anyway, there are two theories that I really like, both suggested by my fellow "Tayfabe" collaborators:

The first theory being that 'August' might refer to opioids. Often, Matty describes his relationship to drugs almost like a romantic relationship:

"It's just… you know, if you break up with your missus for a good reason, even if you love her, you can understand it, you know, you can get on with it. But if you still fucking love her, it's really hard, you know? I think that would be the best way to describe it."

(Interestingly, Taylor speaks about addiction as an intro to the song 'This Is Me Trying' in the Long Ponds film… pair that with the "This Is Us Trying" engraving on NOACF… and you start wonderin' some things, no?)

The second theory being that Taylor could be both Augustine and Betty! That somewhere in her tumultuous timeline with Matty, she's found herself at one point being his "girl", and at other points, being "the other woman". Either way, she seems to deeply empathize with poor Augustine:

"August was obviously about the girl that James had this summer with, right? So she seems like she's this bad girl. But really, she's not a bad girl, she's like really a sensitive person who like, really fell for him and she was trying to seem cool and seem like she didn't care because that's what girls have to do, and she was trying to let him think that she didn't care, but she really did and she thought they had something very real. And then he goes back to Betty."

Something about the way she says this makes me think that no, Taylor is not actually Augustine, but there might be another reason she humanizes the "other woman" so much. Maybe because it's a friend of hers?

Warning: High (and morally dubious) speculation ahead

Anon, I'm personally a bit uncomfortable with celebrity gossip, but since so much of fandom song speculation seems to hinge on the gossip aspect of things, I thought it might be worth mentioning! Now, Matty used to date Halsey. It is alleged that a few of her songs are about Matty (more on that soon). Of course, Taylor and Halsey are friends as well as collaborators! I believe Taylor actually gifted her a Folklore cardigan, and Halsey posted an IG story of herself wearing it and lip-synching along to 'Illicit Affairs':

Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors You know I can't see with anyone else

If you're at all familiar with the Matty x Halsey lore, you'll know that her song 'Colors' is alleged to be about him, as well as the song 'Is There Somewhere', which shares a theme with 'August' in that it's about being the other woman:

Your girl's got red in her cheeks 'Cause we're something she can't see And I try to refrain but you're stuck in my brain All I do is cry and complain, because second's not the same

Now we'll go back to Taylor's quote about Augustine:

"So the idea that there's some like, some bad villain girl in any type of situation who like, takes your man, is actually a total myth because that's not usually the case at all. Like, everybody has feelings and wants to be seen and loved, and just like… Augustine, that's all she wanted was love."

(Oh, and to address the elephant in the room: Yes, I'm pretty sure Matty and Halsey dated in 2013. I know not everyone is on the same page when it comes to the "Tatty Timeline", but there are a few hints that Taylor and Matty met at least as far back as the Red era…)

Lastly, I'll leave you with this, Taylor's forecast for what ultimately becomes of James and Betty:

"Cardigan is from Betty's perspective from like twenty to thirty years later, looking back on this love, that was this tumultuous thing. In my head, Betty and James ended up together, right? So in my head, she ends up with him, but he really put her through it."

I definitely veered a bit off-course here, anon, forgive me! lol

And, of course, thanks for the ask! ♥
