The thing about paparazzi photos is that very few famous people are being stalked or having their privacy invaded with these kinds of photos. Alex and Louise are not famous enough for paparazzi to accidentally catch them, especially not at a hotel in Italy of all places. They’re not THAT recognisable. The agency that released the photos is called Backgrid and is literally an agency for celebrity news, so I’m like 80% sure one of them called up and paid for these photos to be taken. That’s why they look staged and that’s why there are moments when they both seem aware of the camera.

This is not the first time Alex has been papped, obviously the volume of photos has never been this large, but he’s been in the industry for close to 2 decades. Multiple sets of photos were taken of him and Louise at the start of their relationship in very random places so clearly contacts have been formed and this is not their first rodeo.

Alex has dated people like Alexa Chung who is an expert at utilising paparazzi to her advantage (this is not a dig at her, it’s just part of the job). Throughout their entire relationship they were photographed a lot, because that’s part of how you grow your status as someone in the public eye. Alex is not naive, he knows how this works. Obviously he doesn’t need be photographed to help his career his music speaks for itself, but his girlfriend’s do and he’s been happy to oblige.

Famous people and paparazzi’s often have a more symbiotic relationship than people realise, of course there are always going to be people who are vulnerable/taken advantage of by unethical paparazzi. But again a lot of the time these photos are accompanied by an article, like todays, which acts as promotion for whoever is featured.

If Alex doesn’t want to be seen, he can very easily disappear from public view, it has happened multiple times over the years and he is an expert at not drawing attention to himself. Obviously fan photos are different, but he has a lot of control over when people see him. The fact that he’s not very recognisable in London or LA really drives this point home. What I’m trying to say is that he most likely consented to the photos and at the very least knew that they were being taken.

#sorry for how long this is #I’ve genuinely been forming this theory about celebrity and paparazzi for a few years now #this felt like the right time to share my thoughts because it’s a touchy topic within fandoms #nobody wants to feel like they are violating someone’s privacy or being disrespectful to someone they admire #so obviously I understand why people may be upset or uncomfortable or disturbed by the photos #which is why I’m not reblogging them on my page #but keep in mind that Alex turner a self confessed control freak has a lot of control over when he is seen and when he isn’t #obviously if any disagrees or has more accurate information please let me know #I’m not an expert I just think about this stuff all the time #the curse of being a media and comms student #alex turner

there are a lot of goyim esp from other Marginalised backgrounds that are taking the wrong lessons away from the fact that it turns out that a group of primarily socialist/communist people from an extremely oppressed cultural group with deep ties to an area are in fact more than capable of founding a regional settler colonial ethnostate in that area, a state that was capable of the mass dislocation and then intergenerational imprisonment of hundreds of thousands and then millions of people, and that while many non Jews feel morally pure and free of this ideology, the reality of the situation should terrify everyone

#Like a lot of you would have gotten into it #I have a longer post in me about how tziyonut is probably the colonial ideology most reflected in a bunch of decolonial circles tha #That consider themselves free of this ideology #But if there’s anything I’ve learned in the last week it’s that people take ethnic signposting #Over actual considerations of ideology #Like I think a lot of the weirdness around tziyonut is the fact that people see it as the ultimate big bad in violent ideologies and als #And also something wierd and jewy? #They can feel comfy decrying an ideology that isn’t *theres* #But digging into the ideology and history that is the profound moral tragedy of how a specific plan put forward for the liberation of on #Oppressed people ended up in the mass oppression and displacement of another #Yields a situation that is much more morally taxing and uncomfortable for everyone #I’m seeing stuff about how an oppressed people has right to limitless force and there are no civillians in the enemey #That would have done absolute numbers with the haganah #Like. It’s that I would never - #You don’t know what you would do actually #In those situations. You don’t know #And furthermore the signposting over ideology means that the same people who feel the need to harass every Jew they know are often r #Reblogging stuff ripped out of the logic book or the exact ideology they claim to revile once removed #From a Jewish context

idk if i can fully articulate this but i find it like, Interesting how often people seem to flinch away from the notion of a character having a genuine difficulty in academic settings that is caused by Intellect — how often people will seemingly try to get around the idea by writing something that amounts to, like “No this character is Smart, they just struggle with XYZ and if they were Accommodated for that, then they wouldn’t struggle in school” but it’s like,, why do they Have to be ‘smart’ though?

#N posts stuff #do you know what i mean? am i pulling out of a biased sample selection here? it’s possible #i’ll admit i’m largely talking about like. fanworks #reading a lot of ST fic right now and I’m talking largely about Eddie but it applies to Steve too #where I’ve seen a lot of explanations ranging from like. Dyslexia to Deliberate Self Sabotage but #no one seems willing to confront a ‘they just Genuinely Can’t Get It’ reading of the characters #it’s Always a ‘No they’re Really Smart BUT’ thing #like people are anywhere from reluctant to afraid to admit that some people Aren’t like that #note that i’m speaking generally in terms of academic settings which like. are a specific kind of environment that like. #doesn’t generally Do a good job of being actually indicative of how ‘smart’ a person is (just like IQ tests) #but the point still stands that - in essence - people are seemingly Very uncomfortable with the notion of intellectual disability #in any capacity — even in comparison to learning or developmental disabilities #like just look at how many people will Insist on bringing up the percentage of autistics with ‘higher than average’ IQ #with little to no provocation just in an effort to distance themselves from ‘those’ autistics

i have slept on this thought debated posting it and decided i should- hot take. if your blorbo is a canon Shitty Person, it’s gonna weird me out and rub me the wrong way if in conversation and stuff you don’t want to talk about any bad opinions they have or bad things they did in canon. If your blorbo is a bad person, you LIKE THEM INCLUDING THAT. It is literally fine to be a fan of someone fictional that is morally ambiguous or straight up bad. But if you don’t wanna talk about it or think about it, i’m gonna assume you’re the same way with people in your real life. And that’s Wierd.

#this is for mtl fans #but also like #everyone else #i’ve noticed it in a lot of places recently #yall know it’s ok to like bad FAKE things right? #it’s fake #it’s ok #but if you’re not willing to even discuss it i’m gonna assume it makes you uncomfortable #and you really ought to be comfortable with the thing you’re a fan of #dethklok is canonically pretty racist guys. and homophobic and stuff #it’s weird that people are cool with them literally killing people but not that part #like #those things are bad but murder is definetly worse so

something lgbt just happened to me (i think a bi guy is hitting on me (a bi girl) (ish) (we’ll see how this goes))

#haven’t been into men romantically in a Hot Minute so let’s see how fast i get uncomfortable and start questioning everything again #bc like everyone keeps asking me ‘oh is he cute do you think he’s cute do you find him attractive’ like. #he is nice to me and he’s funny and we have a lot in common and he gives good hugs what else am i supposed to care about for rn #i’ve only kissed one person in my life who is a female friend so like when it comes to romantic stuff we’ll get there when we get there #plus there’s the whole. ace hurdle. that i keep forgetting about #bc i’m like everyone keeps asking me if i think he’s hot and i’m like oh no i don’t think he’s hot does that mean i don’t like him #and then i remember. i don’t think anyone is Hot (with the exception of julien baker.) because i am ace. #idk anyways this is new territory and i am excited so. that’s all ok bye #mari is irrelevant

getting intense joy from painting my nails wasn’t an expected outcome of my day but it is definitely a welcome one!

#in todays episode of ‘oh dang cis ppl can also get gender euphoria huh’ #the more this happens the more I am convinced that gender expression is rly a personal thing #bc like. my roommate would NOT like to paint her nails or wear hairbows or skirts. she doesn’t enjoy them. #but she considers herself very feminine in her own right by the colors and styles of the shirts she wears and how she does her hair #I didn’t used to think I liked looking particularly feminine at all bc I found so much of it uncomfortable #turns out girliepop had sensory issues and the ‘beautiful lace dresses and nylon tights and makeup’ wasn’t doing it for me #but when given the chance to choose how I look. I find that I actually enjoy some of the stereotypical feminine stuff a lot! #and also enjoy some stereotypically unfeminine things bc they make me *feel* more like a girl even if they’re not like that for everyone #like my Minecraft socks! and t-shirts from the men’s section at Meijer. and button ups with loud patterns! and my undercut 🩵 #also a lot of it I think is just. I am expressing what I like and enjoy. and part of who I am is a girl. so having the ability to express #myself in my clothing means I feel more like me. which includes feeling like a girl. which is v cool. #like I have other nail polish but I don’t like it bc it’s smth my mom picked out for me and it’s not rly my taste. #I have a ton of jewelry but only some of it is smth I would ever actually wear. bc I got it from my great grandma. who had different tastes. #but my Minecraft socks and patterned skirts and graphic tees and hairbows are all things that show what I like! #even if it’s not super matchy or coordinated. I look like me! #and now I have nails in my favorite color and I’m gonna try and get my hair dyed again in colors I like #I just. have the agency to look like me. and I keep surprising myself by how much I love that. #instead of copying what my family considers to be ‘good taste’

yapping aimlessly tonight

#jaerambles #i just have a lot in my brain!! #anyway i keep getting asked what i would want to do in an ideal situation. if money and time and stuff were no object #i really do think it would be just aimless learning. #like learning new crafts. reading without having to respond to it. sponging up knowledge without the expectation to Say Things #it feels a bit. selfish. #but i don’t really have an endpoint to reach nor do i have something to say. like i just want to acquire experiences and learn things #i get really nervous when people ask me what makes me happy because i don’t know. i know what makes me uncomfortable and scared though #i would also like the ability to just change my situation a lot as much as i want. moving to new places and leaving when i don’t like them #trying new professions without having to stick to them or work up a ladder #drop everything for a weekend to go see friends. things like that. #i say all these things as though i haven’t been too afraid to leave my house for the past 6 months djfjdjfjdjfjjd #i’m trying to be less avoidant lately though. like ideal situations are not my reality! #real life is me being too scared to think of possibilities so in reality i just have to take the tiniest steps back to normalcy #ppl with the jae lore remember when my commute to school was literally 5000 miles #or when i worked two jobs and was so about the grind because i had a reason to want the money #like i used to have So much going on. and now i don’t. and i don’t know what i am in the absence of being Busy #there’s still so much i don’t understand abt bpd1 i’m so scared of making changes too suddenly because i HATE who i was in august #or not who i was. what i was doing. #but now i’ve swung the other direction and i do nothing 😭 i don’t feel like i’m Living rn #i feel like i’ve started all over again. i almost had it i was gonna do two internships and keep doing my cute little barista job #and have a senior year that was gonna be about growing and finishing strong #and then of course my maladjusted ass sees [irreversible change event] and like. yknow #this keeps. happening to me. i want to be so much better than this 😭😭😭

[writing-for-life]

Hey, just a quick note:

I don’t post Sandman stuff/art on Twitter.

I just felt I had to say something because I now had several people thinking I might be a certain Twitter account that posts a lot of the art I curate in very quick succession right after I post it here.

I make an effort to source and post variety, sometimes rather obscure stuff (that’s why it’s also very obvious if it appears hours later on other platforms), and of course that’s a bit of work. But I love doing it because of my appreciation of the source material/original art. Plus I’m always hoping that some of the lesser known artists get more exposure, and that people might buy prints when I link to their socials.

I love that it brings you joy, and I always hope you reblog. It’s not my art, I have no claim to it, so everyone can share it in any way they like (please credit the artists though and don’t just post an image). But it makes me uncomfortable if people wrongly assume my identity based on how people share on other networks, especially when things like personal views come into the mix.

So once again: I only post Sandman stuff here on Tumblr, it’s not me if you see it somewhere else.

#the sandman #I don’t mind if you repost it somewhere else because it’s not mine anyway #but if other accounts start to get mistaken for mine it gets a bit uncomfortable and annoying #and I’m not making that up because several people asked me about it #please think about other people’s identities and the time they put into curation #and if you really want to share a lot of the stuff I post here on Twitter: There’s a direct Tumblr/Twitter sharing function #that way we avoid awkward that’s not me posts

#so I don’t watch a ton of reaction videos and stuff like that #or even deep dives in general #because one thing I’ve noticed is that people will take a phrase or reference #and claim it HAS to be about this event or person #because it’s repeated or whatever #like ‘oh she said this which is THIS PERSON coded’ #or ‘she said this same phrase in this other song they must BOTH be about THAT PERSON’ #etc. and so on #and look I think Taylor does that to some degree when it makes sense #but I also think a lot of the time the likelier option is that she just really likes a turn of phrase and reuses it #whether its consciously or not #the obvious one being ‘casually cruel’ in both all too well and Mr perfectly fine #and the songs clearly have different inspirations #I love deciphering and interpreting lyrics #and yes the nosy part of me wants the tea I’m human #but sometimes the constant ‘this HAS to be about Jake/joe/harry/calvin/etc’ pinpointing #gets in the way of enjoying the actual lyricism for me #maybe the girl is just really bad at driving (I kid) #and like I said I am definitely ready to decode the tea #but idk sometimes it makes me uncomfortable to reduce the songs to the muse ykwim? #this is just a me thing though I know #tag novel #like as someone who has only been in the only fandom for a year-18 months #and before that just enjoyed the music on my own and fell in love with the lyricism and melodies #I just don’t particularly care most of the time about who the subject is because that isn’t how I came to learn about the music #it was for how Taylor wrote about the feelings and the moments #to be clear I’m talking about like the YouTube and Reddit crowds #you people on my dash with your thoughtful analyses are wonderful and thoughtful and I am so grateful to be here!

This is so so important btw.

This as well.

#So incredibly soft #I love the computers episode for several reasons and this stuff is absolutely one of them #Beep cares a lot for her friends but a lot of times she has a pretty one-track mind and that track is answer the question #So a lot of times her way of dealing with her friends being uncomfortable or in distress #is to bring up the kid that’s waiting for the answer #probably because that kind of comfort would be motivating enough to *her* that she’d feel less bad about whatever it is #but here it’s just. Pure concern and attempt to comfort #it’s so important to me #Storybots #I’m gonna go ahead and tag this #Beebo Storybots #(that’s the ship tag I’ve seen for Beep and Bo…) #And then We’ve got Bang casually slinging his arm around Boop #boopbang #beep storybots #Bo storybots #storybots bang #storybots boop #Gif

[legendary-alliance-stance]

man. that old “haha fragile masculinity/male tears mesmer joke” post crossed my dash again and it still doesn’t sit right with me for some reason

#i think in the context of dudebros bitching about mesmer stuff it’s fine but #idk. i think it sits badly with me because of how in a lot of queer circles these days masculinity is seen as evil and gross #and femininity is the Default and Good #in the long run I don’t think there’s anything innately wrong with the post given the context of why it exists #especially since it was made back in 2015 #it just feels. blegh to me personally with the context of how a lot of queer circles are these days in 2024 #idk I’m just rambling here but. the post just makes me vaguely uncomfortable lmao

[noxstrages]

Hey, if you’re into blankshipping or proshipping in general, please don’t interact with me - Just block me. It makes me physically nauseous, and, as someone with siblings, I’d rather not have people who support that stuff interacting with my content, thanks.

#i know i can’t control who looks at my art #but i just wanna put this out there #saw some stuff that made me upset #i’m not targeting anyone i just #it makes me verrrrrry uncomfortable #thinking about what takes those people might have with the content i make #nox talks #just block me please #already had to block a lot of people #absolutely heartbreaking to see some regulars supporting that stuff #eughhghgg #ex regulars now i guess

[strafethesesinners]

Is it weird to block people I constantly see on my dash via mutuals but I don’t want to see? Like idk how else to keep them off my dash other than maybe try and filter out their username?

#idk I don’t want these people to be mad if they ever figure it out #but also like #I’m not interested in their stuff/I’m a already overwhelmed with stuff I am interested in #one or two have ships that actively make me uncomfortable #only thing about filtering their names…a lot of them have long and/or hard to spell names lmao

[zeriphi]

I’m putting together all of the greatest tmnt accounts to find all the letters of the alphabet and you earned a spot congrats tap and Butter where the first to figure out what’s going on that why i recommend you reach out to them for help

find the soup and good luck

…… aight. I’m flattered I suppose.

I’m still very confused.

#I’m sorry guys I really don’t want to be a buzzkill I just really don’t understand this stuff #and getting it with no context is kind of confusing and concerning to some degree #I’m glad you like my work? I don’t want to discourage you from having fun? but I’d rather have had this context from the start #I don’t really talk about it on here but I’m autistic these kinds of games with no information don’t make a lot of sense to me and and just #kind of make me uncomfortable because I don’t understand what’s going on #again I’m sorry I feel really bad I don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun this is all just really confusing for me
