I'll be honest, while Deuxmoi always and still does post a ton of BS, thanks to the development of this never-ending saga...I'm starting to really feel like she's been used intentionally to push this narrative along all the way from the very beginning. Aka 2021.
A very out there theory but hear me out: Early on, the fandom had the general consensus DM was BS. Especially in regards to CE. Because DM was the one that first started spreading his super secret GF nonsense back in 2021, right before the introduction of Soba Saga. Her almost nonsensical rants about her having legit sources on this secret GF - while doing weekly podcasts where she insisted she never got any intel on him because his circle was so tight knit (interesting how that suddenly changed out of nowhere when someone showed up) - just made her seem like crazy cat lady gossip conspiracy Marjorie Taylor Greene on steroids.
She was the first to post that "dating Soba for over a year and everyone in PT/her circle knows about it" in early 2022.
They go public in late 2022. 2023 There's some Sunday Spotted (I could be wrong) vDAY post about CE and "fiancé" being seen in town at dinner (sounds very similar to the most recent vDay sighting). That was about 10 months before the super secret wedding and there had been no announcement of being engaged, minus the Tumblr blogs and random third rate tabloids and troll twitter accounts passing on the rumors. DM starts spreading around the same time some Tumblr blogs get the intel about secret engagement, wedding, rift in the family, people on his side not liking Soba, etc. Eventually it is revealed DM was right all along???? In a complete turn of events her credibility goes from zero to 1 (grudgingly of course, while she continues to spill BS daily)
Meanwhile, DM gets the first RPatz sighting with Scarlett and crew at dinner. Nobody believed it - as Nancy mentioned, it just seemed too farfetched with the way that restaurant was set up.
Then in early 2024 we get an actual RPatz sighting with with Soba/CE, and separately, sightings with Scarlett and Colin. Now there's more "credibility" to that random other sighting even if it still can't be proven.
Now...possible project with RPatz and CE's name circulating. Maybe just gossip fodder, maybe some truth to it. Time will tell. Coincidences once again.
DM gets the sighting of CE in LA with Russos. He actually confirms that one himself a month later.
Simultaneously, DM gets random sightings of CE doing other stuff where soba is not mentioned. Nobody knows really what to believe anymore.
But for every 15 BS things she posts, she actually gets 1-2 right. It starts to completely make her a hit or miss source but enough to get people riled up and worried if/when she gets something related to CE/Soba.
In a way, this strategy, if it were to have any salt to it, is kinda interesting. It also sort of enforces the idea of possible foul play. Because if CE is truly in such a happy, private, loveful relationship, why use somebody as uncouth as DM to throw out breadcrumbs? Especially since, in the past, his fanbase and most Tumblr blogs believed it was only legit if it came from someone like People Mag (his team's go-to). Ironically, Page 6 has been getting most of the exclusive scoops this time around, in addition to weird low rate tabloids that eventually make its way to the top.
I know I sound like crazy qanon conspiracy theorist, but I guess people see what they wanna see. But for the people who believe this relationship isn't as genuine as some want to believe, it kind of tracks that somebody's PR team pushing this out in ways to sort of make you wonder, question, and push back on the validity. Just enough to make you think, maybe, maybe there's something going on BTS that they're not saying but they're kinda telling. But you'll never know what the truth is. At least not for now.
I do find DM’s role since 2023 to be very interesting indeed. You missed nothing. Not one thing. She’s made herself be credible enough during this, but also, she’s questionable. So of course, take everything she says with a grain of salt.
I made this comment a bit ago to someone else, he still uses People. Who got the Jinx articles first. Think about that for a moment. He. Just him.
As far as the last paragraph, what I will say is celebrities need to be talked about. Good or bad, they need the press. They need to be in the front of people’s minds. What better way to have them in people’s minds, and to have fans talk about something long past their expiration date than by playing a game. PR has become such a hot topic word, and I think very few people even understand it. But to me, if you’re having to play so many games, what really is real? Live your life. Isn’t that what we continue to be told they’re doing?

I DON'T TRUST NOBODY AND NOBODY TRUSTS ME
Succession ✧ 690 words ✧ At the reception, Karolina clocks Kendall's subterfuge, and has something to say about being overlooked.
Karolina is in the middle of listening to a tipsy Sally Anne tell a story about having to face off against Caroline wearing nothing but her underwear when Gerri nudges her in the arm, hard. “Karolina,” she hisses, “what the fuck is this?”
Coming from Gerri, that’s generally not a good question, and Karolina frowns as she leans over the offered phone screen. Roy family unrest involving key members of Waystar RoyCo may threaten the pending deal with GoJo, says a confident Waystar source.
Karolina’s jaw drops a little as she looks back up at Gerri. “That’s not me.” It certainly should be-- the twitter account, the classic byline of confident Waystar source, but everything she knows says the GoJo deal is solid and necessary, even if Kendall and Roman are being a little bitchy about it. 
Wait. Fuck.
“That’s not me,” she repeats to Gerri, her tone hushed. “I’ll be right back.”
She finds Hugo in a corner by the bar talking to Colin, who she excuses efficiently with a slight touch to his arm and a smile too bright for a funeral until he gets the hint. When he’s gone, she folds her arms over her chest, facing Hugo head on.
“I don’t know what you think you’re doing,” she says calmly, “but you’re fired.”
“Yeah, I don’t think so,” he says, way too fucking nonchalant for the glare she’s leveling at him.
She scoffs. “Excuse me?”
“I think it’s well within my job description to follow an express order directly from the CEO,” Hugo brags, a disgusting smirk crawling across his face despite him clearly trying to keep it in check. “Look, Karolina, you’re good at your job, but… look at it this way, a hunting dog can work hard all day, can run for miles, and at the end of the day still sleeps in a kennel. The lap dog is the one who’s in a nice warm bed.”
The pieces fall into place with a relieving clarity, seeing as Karolina spends a good portion of her time trying to guess what any of the Roys’ plans really are. She steps even closer to Hugo, narrowing her eyes. “Are you calling me a bitch?”
He stares at her, mouth gaping with no words to answer, and she scoffs and walks away.
Karolina orders a vodka soda at the bar while she regroups, scanning the room. Hugo must be talking to Kendall; Roman doesn’t inspire that level of confidence in general, and certainly not today. Speaking of Roman, there’s a viral video she should do something about, but currently, Kendall trying to fuck the company takes precedence. Karolina makes a decision and downs the last half of her drink, the carbonation and alcohol burning in that quantity and making her close her eyes for a moment. Getting vodka drunk is just so much more efficient than lazing around with a glass of wine.
As she crosses the room, she makes eye contact with Gerri long before she hits the table, and Gerri stands and meets her at a pair of armchairs off to the side of the dinner tables. “So?”
“Kendall,” Karolina says. “Making promises he has no wherewithal to keep, which is nothing new… anyway, Hugo overplayed his hand. He’s trying to fuck the deal. Maybe Roman, too.”
“Idiots,” Gerri hisses. 
“I think we should go to Shiv,” Karolina suggests quietly.
Gerri nods. “She’s definitely getting close with Matsson. It’ll be good to have someone who can get through to him while Kendall and Roman throw this fit.”
“And,” Karolina adds, “we can leverage their habits of fighting each other for the sake of it. Kendall thinks he’s already on top, Shiv will stay with the deal just to pull the rug out from under him.”
Gerri nods, her lips tights. “A riskier system to rely on, but… she’s definitely being iced out. You’re right.”
“I’m going to find Ebba,” Karolina sighs, “and fix this so-called ‘official statement. You got Shiv?”
Gerri smiles wryly. “I am her godmother, after all.”
Karolina snorts. “Best of luck.”
Gerri grabs her shoulder as they move in opposite directions. “Godspeed.”

Nathan Shelley and Borderline Personality Disorder
We spend a lot of time on Ted Lasso talking about Ted’s mental health issues, and for good reason.  It’s a central arc to the show.  I’ve also seen a number of interesting discussions on Rebecca, Jamie, and Roy’s mental health issues, which are also important conversations to have and I hope they continue.
What I have seen very little of, is discussion of Nathan Shelley’s mental health issues.  Which clearly he has.  More specifically, I think he has a lot of symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD for short.
What is BPD?
People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense mood swings and feel uncertainty about how they see themselves. Their feelings for others can change quickly, and swing from extreme closeness to extreme dislike. These changing feelings can lead to unstable relationships and emotional pain.  
X
I think it’s worth discussing Nathan’s behavior outside of the matrix of whether it’s “good” or “evil” for a minute and instead, whether it’s a sign of a serious mental illness.  One that should be treated with compassion because he’s suffering.
People with BPD have a number of symptoms that Nate displays throughout the series.  For example, when you consider that people with BPD have unstable self image, Nate’s tendency to obsessively search for himself in twitter makes sense: he’s looking to an external source to tell him who/what he is (and oh boy, Nate, that’s like the worst source).
People with BPD also experience (keep in mind not everyone will experience all of these or at the same degree):
An intense fear of abandonment, even going to extreme measures to avoid real or imagined separation or rejection -- His relationship with Ted
A pattern of unstable intense relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and then suddenly believing the person doesn't care enough or is cruel -- His relationship with Ted and the others
Rapid changes in self-identity and self-image that include shifting goals and values, and seeing yourself as bad or as if you don't exist at all -- I think we see this thought s1-3
Periods of stress-related paranoia and loss of contact with reality, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours --somewhat in how he seemed to think Roy would replace him/his talk about Ted taking the credit/blaming him
Impulsive and risky behavior, such as gambling, reckless driving, unsafe sex, spending sprees, binge eating or drug abuse, or sabotaging success by suddenly quitting a good job or ending a positive relationship -- Kissing Keeley? 
Wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days, which can include intense happiness, irritability, shame or anxiety -- I think we get this to a degree
Ongoing feelings of emptiness -- I’d argue he has this but it’s admittedly hard to be certain unless Nate confesses to feeling this way
Inappropriate, intense anger, such as frequently losing your temper, being sarcastic or bitter, or having physical fights --YES.  Nate does have some inappropriate, intense anger, directed at others: Will, Colin, and Ted.
Like all mental illnesses, BPD can be caused by multiple factors but trauma and abuse during childhood is frequently a factor.  We know that Nate has an abusive father, a mother who treats him like a child even though he’s in his 30s, and he’s experienced years of abuse at Richmond.
While it is important to acknowledge that he’s hurt people and should be accountable to that, it should also be acknowledged that he too is suffering from mental illness and deserves treatment and compassion for it.
It’s also worth noting that while we are, as a society, getting better at how we think and talk about mental illness, some mental illnesses like BPD, schizophrenia and others, are still far too stigmatized, making it harder to get help and harder to be treated with compassion. 
It’s also worth discussing the intersectionality of mental illness and people of color.  I do understand that one factor that makes it easier to be compassionate to Ted then Nate is because we see Ted striving to help people, but I can’t help but think that another to factor is because Ted’s a white man with the “right” kind of mental illness.

Ted: Text me to say you’re home safely. Issac: I’m home dangerously Ted: Stop it. Jamie: I’m home lethally. Colin: I’m home in an extremely lackadaisical and downright reckless fashion. Ted: Text me that you are at home and not joking around. Jan: My journey home is violating so many health and safety regulations. I’ve killed three pedestrians. Ted: You’re breaking my heart. Sam: I actually got murdered as soon as I left your field of vision.

oh, you’re so right! I do think Simon and Daphne’s had a decent chemistry, (I’m not even gonna mention *that* scene, it hunts me still) but nothing will ever top how Kate and Anthony made the show, i kinda am excited to see s3, just because I think it will be awesome seeing a fat lead have her romantic storyline without having to loose weight(like miss Julia Quinn did in the books 💀) but besides that, it is kinda odd that they put this advertisement that it is a period drama with a modern take but don’t make efforts to put a lgbt+ character even as a secondary one, they have so much potential with Benedict tho, I was kinda hoping for him to be at least bi, but I don’t think the lame ass fandom (on Twitter at least) will be accepting of that
simon and daphne are a classic case of good build up, horrible pay off. the more days pass, the more i dislike them 😵‍💫
i’m excited for penelope and colin next season, but i did not know she had to lose weight to gain his affections (?) in the books (i am not surprised though). also, i really don’t care about the fandom 🙈 i just don’t expect anything to come from the canon source itself. if benedict turns out to be bi, good for him!
on the other hand, the queen and king’s men in queen charlotte being gay lovers and also important characters made me happy. i guess i really did like the mini series more than the actual show 😂
