Re: Nic's New York State of Mind - Part 3

The NYC/ HOMc coded IG follows keep coming...

1) Nia Vardalos - known for the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but has had a prolific stage career, most recently in the off Broadway production of "Pen Pals"***. She's also a playwright who adapted "Tiny Beautiful Things" for the off Broadway stage and wrote a NY Times bestseller called "Instant Mom" about adoption. She & N are also both represented by CAA.

***Update: thank you @jmuz09 for pointing out that ES, L's costar who plays his mother in HOMc, will be in "Pen Pals" in Dec. (It's a rotating cast), and it seems that ES & NV may know one another through "The Cher Show"...

Might have N have met NV through L's "Mom"? 🤔 ⬇️

2) Bryan Yambao, "BryanBoy" - fashion blogger, influencer and editor-in-chief of Perfect magazine based in London. Interestingly, besides being politically aligned w/ N on the Gaza conflict, the creative director of the Alexander McQueen fashion line, Seán McGirr, follows him. Can we assume he'll be at NYFW as well?

3) Joe Cole - Yes, he's going to be in N's new project "I Am" w/ her and yes, he's also playing Lee Alexander Mcqueen in a movie called "Queen of Fashion" about Isabella Blow but interestingly, he also follows Gary Mcqueen, Lee's nephew, who is credited w/ special thanks on the film and who has a huge hand in the HOMc play that L is headlining.

The threads keep threading; and coincidence might just be revealed as intentional as time goes on...

Recent IG Follows ⬇️

FYI, Krish is the producer of the "I Am" series...

The other day you have gave a great explanation about Antonia and how she fits into the situation with Luke and Nicola.

I was wondering about Rory and Sienna. Rory and Sienna seem to be back together or at least on amicable terms. Was wondering if Luke, Rory Nicola and Sienna will be friends. Know that no one really in Luke’s adjacent group follows Nicola except Charmaine . Nicola and Luke have unfollowed her. Will Luke introduce Nicola to his adjacent group and do you think that they will follow her on Instagram once the reveal is official? Have noticed that although Luke and Rory still follow each other on Instagram. They has not been any likes by either one on their Instagram accounts since August.

This is an old Ask but wanted to post now as it is still timely...

#1 - One must remember - the guys are L's long time friends w/whom he went to school - R, T and JV. The gfs in their lives are not the connection. I don't expect N to be particularly close to them, if at all.

#2 - Imo, L distanced himself from R because of his association w/ his HBS and his subsequent seeming drunk behavior in Sorrento. R took some time to work on himself, per his IG posts, and reappeared to help out L in May, doing the videography for A's grid post.

#3 - R & S seemed to reconcile earlier this year (S posted a pic of them together for her birthday in Feb.) but, per her latest TT reposts, they appear to be broken up again. These are only the latest ones (below) but she's been reposting break-up vids for mos. ⬇️

Note: "...what my ex has been doing after he said he was working on himself" 😬. Also, I included the last two for good measure - girl def wants to marry well 🤑

#4 - Some are questioning why L wouldn't let R move in w/ him since R is looking for a room ⬆️ but a) - L is in all likelihood living w/ N and baby Newts, requiring privacy, b) - L needs the HBS narrative, of which R was a part, to die down esp. if his legal situation w/ A is still playing out and c) he's an adult, he can get his own darn place! 🤪

FINAL NOTES: Sm follows, esp. on celebs' professional profiles, are not as significant as their private profiles (finstas) OR more importantly, their ACTUAL private lives, of which we see very little... As we all recognize by now, sm can be VERY DECEIVING. And as I noted in a previous post, despite literal appearances, it should be *telling* that L allows tagged pictures of ALL of the adjacents except A onto his grid...

The real story is the future w/ Lukola and BN now not the past w/ the adjacents...

[fiamat12]

Re: Ch ch ch ch changes...

The NYC Files Part 2

Since NYC, we've noticed a change in Lukola and the adjacents (of course the only thing constant is change so it's to be expected). I listed out the chain of events for our girl, AI robot Gossipy 🐝***- from A's first appearance at Brickhouse to N's IG follows to N's project announcement on her grid that JD storied, A commented on and L liked - and asked her the current trajectory...

My question: taking into consideration the above sm activity and that no one has been pictured together since Wimbledon (which was only 2 weeks ago) is the current trajectory:

•Operation Independent players

• Operation "We're all friends"

• Operation Lukola crumbs / continued obligations

• A 4th option?

Gossipy 🐝 came up with some reasonable conclusions w/ robotic optimism. TY @carolinagirl980!

Room for realignment ⬇️

To me, it feels like passively linking the adjacents while still suggesting a link between Lukola, but hope is a thing w/ feathers lately, so we remain in check... 🤖

A pivot but not a guarantee ⬇️

☝️ Stay observant. Stay Open. Trust your Instincts...

Women supporting women about a project telling women's stories. So you're telling me this is about women... 🤔

Update:

Yes, thanks for the garden variety Manhattan Bridge, A. LOL, Anon. 🤣🤣🤣

[fiamat12]

I think your instincts are excellent all on your own, Anon. N is either passively hinting to JD because obligations aren't done yet or letting him get the sm hits to help boost his profile as she does. Either way, I think she very much ok'ed it but I understand why people don't necessarily like it...

[fiamat12]

Hmmm. Well, Idk what to tell people. I'm not here to rehash old, disproven theories. That's for those who, somehow, after over a year since the WT ended, can't see the obvious.

As for the anti Lukola stance... in my opinion, if you believe that Lukola would purposely F w/ fans, using the adjacents to manipulate and toy w/ them + hint just to purposely lead them on as a selfish means to an end, then you don't think very highly of Lukola, aren't in support of them, have a toxic view of people/ relationships and/ or think their relationship is some game.

[fiamat12]

It tracks, Anon. A 10 day film shoot, no major costumes like Bridgerton and its actresses have been Bafta nominated? ✔️✔️✔️. And yes, the follow for DS comes full circle...

Idk who was speculating that N is professionally aligning w/ NYC? This Channel 4 series and BM2 (unless they move film locations) are UK based, as well as PBOTWW at the National Theater in London. The only thing that isn't is "Goat" which could be recorded anywhere.

If anything, showing up in NYC would be a tell of her being there for L, imo. She has been to The Hamptons w/ JVN, and to NYC w/ Camilla, on the S3 World Tour, and for the Time Next 100 and didn't show an interest in all things NY at this rate. Her plausible deniability line is thin w/ her recent hints 🤭

What came 1st the chicken or the egg? I think it's an obvious symbiotic spousal relationship here. They've been talking about B'way for L since the WT, then speculation was high w/ the trip to NYC last October. They made it happen, as a team. Baby got his boat... And maybe she got hers too if A24 pulls through...

Oh, and I heard "The Outsiders" is phenomenal. Stay Gold, Pony Boy, Stay Gold 😏

[fiamat12]

Charli XCX's "Talk Talk"

...was such a major clue for shippers back during the Emmys when Nicola played it twice in her stories - all after she was too tired to go to Emmys after-parties and instead went home to do "The Wordle". Additionally, as Fran mentioned, Charli XCX married the drummer from L's fave band (The 1975), who I believe Lukola has seen in concert several times.

A little reminder about from whence we came...

👫🤫❤️🗣 ⬇️

"Talk talking" about another LIKE...😉🥰

Music artist, Charli_xcx recently got married to the drummer from the band, The 1975(one of Luke's favorite bands) and Nic had LIKED the official announcement about them tying the knot.

Now, Charli_xcx herself has posted about her newlywed status and Nic LIKED it too. Clearly, loving LOVE and celebrating posts about it. Because she relates. And it's not lost on me that the fact it's a post about a marriage made in the music world. Very similar to how her and Luke have likely made a marriage together in the acting world. Passion for their careers merging with passion for each other. It's quite beautiful when that happens and it often does...😏🥰🥹😍

[fiamat12]

Correct, Anon. She posted a story of an Evita curtain call from the London show, and said nothing about being there or her current whereabouts. If it comes out that she was, ok! Like you, it doesn't change my mind that she will be in NYC for a good amount of time for the next several months...

Of note as well, several of N's allies seemed to be at the show. Her buddy DG posted + LV - a freelance journalist who follows N, and the sm manager for BV, who follows both N & L and is their seeming PR ally (w/ BV providing the cheek kiss nobody asked for 🤣).

Anyhow, we watch and wait and notate. 📝 And of course, remain robotically optimistic. 🤖

Here are the curtain calls by story - N's, DGs, LV (freelancer) and HD (BV sm mgr). ⬇️

And yes she did leave the show on Thursday but was back on Friday.

[fiamat12]

Thank you, Anon! I appreciate all of you who keep me informed of the Troll creating new accounts, or being active on old accts. We block as much as we can, but she has hundreds at this point... as a reference point, the ones that she uses to like her own posts are all her.

This has been going on all year now. I will not get into it on here, but precautions have been taken to protect myself. Those who have been around know it is difficult to deal w/ a troll who has a seeming mental illness, but pray and hope she gets help. Best to ignore and block as much as you can!!! (Fran & I have a short list of the troll accounts if you need it but you can safely block i-am-sami, justcurious5976, weaklyatomicpathfinder, howdidigetthere43, amethystlove25, Naur-Shawty, carla1951, larrythelobster99, allie1985, sillylovelygirl, keilani1207, Lukola4evs. There are more... just ask if unsure!).

Yep, we just keep beep bopping along 🤖. Baby Newts exists in the highest of all likelihoods, so haters can keep on hating!!! 👋👋👋. It will come out eventually - now or years from now. You can BET ON IT!!!

Re: Nic's New York State of Mind - Part 3

More IG follows

It seems N's IG follows have been a success at getting across where her mind is, and perhaps her body, so the IG follows continue...

Note: she's also followed several friends of JDs who she has met already either through his friend group like his longtime friend Ewan or his costar in MBC, who she likely met in AUS. None of those are coded as a change in her interest or location, rather friends of friends. The NYC ones, however, are...

1) Carrie Coon - seems N can relate to a couple who has Film/ TV careers but also been on the stage. Carrie was nomimated for an Emmy "White Lotus" this year, but she & her husband are also big Broadway people. Her husband, Tracy Letts, is a prolific actor and Broadway playwright who won The Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Carrie is a Tony award winner. More importantly, Carrie's latest show, "The Gilded Age", takes place in NYC...

2) Lola Tung - another TV/film actress but also a Broadway baby and a feminist. She debuted in Hadestown (who many have advocated for L to be in) and is originally from NYC. I mean, this one even went to the famed Laguardia Performing Arts H.S. She is also represented by CAA, like N and the same publicist as L, Narrative PR. 😏

NYC, let's goooooo! 🗽🇺🇲

Note: Just to keep beep bopping along 🤖 / expectations low, A did also post a story of her at another dance studio in the E. Village today (not near L)... ⬇️

[fiamat12]

Re: The JVN link... 💇‍♀️🪮

As an N type of woman - Girls, Gays and my significant other (L for N) - I've always loved "Queer Eye" and a good makeover. (Straight men always smell so much better/ are better trimmed post a gay spruce up 😉). I've also tried JVN's hair products,and they really are quite good and reasonably priced (the Rapid Repair Bond Gloss is my fave, and just got my Air Dry Cream in to try 🌬).

Now on to JVN's relationship w/ N. They've been longtime friends, and he credits N for helping motivate him through a dark time in his life. I love these old photos of them ⬇️

If you've followed Lukola at all, you've seen him by N's side at the NY premiere of S3, The T. Swift concert, the Emmys, in London after BN was born, supporting her through a (likely) legal situation, and now, quite possibly for her man's off Broadway debut, as we know he's scheduled to be at NYFW when L's play is running (+ he did wear a McQueen dress on "Live with Kelly and Mark"...)

Fast fwd to a video from a few days ago, in which JVN mentions he & his hubby are renting a new brownstone in NYC (see below***) to have more room for their animals. This is on brand, as prior to moving to Austin, TX, he moved NYC apts. for the same reason. So, if he'll be in NYC more often and is bringing the animals, it tracks... esp. if someone else (ahem) could use his other apt. which is thought to be near the High Line, close to the venue for L's play (Pure speculation!!!)

***From JVN video ⬇️

All in time, time will reveal, so all I have to say for now is: Let's goooo NYC!!!!!! 🗽🇺🇲🎭 💃🤖

Re: Lukola - The NYC Files Robotically Optimistic

The last few weeks have been interesting w/ N coming on strong w/ the sm hints. Fran @frantastical and I have tried to become "robotically optimistic"- noting the signs w/out attaching to an outcome until there's an actual one, meaning confirmation of Lukola being a family w/ BN. Until then, we're still curious as to where this might be headed, esp. w/ N changing her IG profile pic today to an NYC coded one. I think @jmuz09 and @carolinagirl980 's AI robots both gave realistic replies...

Note: We're very aware that the robots are fed w/ our own Lukola perspective (Carolinagirl's less so as she withheld names, but her bot recently figured out who the celebs are 🤭). The advantage is that they compile info. & answers efficiently, logically, and often in ways we may not have considered. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong... just like us 🤷🏼‍♀️

Here was my question: What would Lukola's next move be if they want to make a comeback? A was shown to be in NYC, even though she hasn't been seen w/ L yet, so it isn't clear she's out of the picture. However, N changed her IG profile picture today to reflect a NY reference, just as L did last month, and she has followed many NY based IG profiles. Are the tides turning or could N be hinting to help the fandom hold on while the obligations w/ A still play out?

Sunny's answer: ⬇️

(👆 If you get this reference you're a real Broadway fan 🎶)

Gossipy 🐝's Answer: ⬇️

Lastly, in response to Gossipy 🐝's final thoughts: if there is more of A in NY, I won't view it as a “derailing", rather take it as N was hinting to maintain fan interest, not to launch yet. 🤖

Also neither Robot answered what the next move might be, so our guess is as good theirs! 🤪🗽🇺🇲

Re: Nic's New York State of Mind - PART 2

Follows, friends & fashion week

1) N's NYC-coded IG follows continue w/ gay comedian Caleb Hearns, who not only resides & has a podcast in NYC but is also in TDWP2 w/ Simone, who is currently in NYC for filming. Jack Rooke & Simone also follow him.

https://www.cbr.com/the-devil-wears-prada-2-new-additions/

2) JVN was in NYC for "Live with Kelly and Mark" and wore none other than a McQueen dress 🤭 💃. He will also be in attendance at NYFW on Sept. 5th. (Perhaps we'll see him attend L's play).

3) On the TDWP2 note, the IG for the HOMc play had a field day yesterday floating out the idea of special guests from Meryl Streep to Lady Gaga. I do believe the fact that it's running during NYFW will grab the attention of quite a few celebs. TBD...

[fiamat12]

These are alot of the same antis who think they are really w/ the adjacents... people who can't look below the surface or look deeply into a situation. Tbf, if you aren't aware of the candid shots, the styling tricks of the trade or missed the clues from the WT, it was easy to get lost. But in the last couple of months of her pregnancy in particular, I'm really not sure how one could deny it!

Anyhow, it has become a mess. I think many like you are waiting in the background and not actively following. It's really the only peaceful way at this point, if you don't want to bear the adjacents. I agree that there would be no crumbs or hinting if N wanted to hide. Absolutely true!

[fiamat12]

I put the NY times article below***... it's a mess of screenshots, but it's my mess lol ;-)

Looks like full on promo for HOMc w/ previews less than a month out. The reel is a nice bts, one we never got for Polin in S4 filming tyvm, lol. The dancing/ singing L content was removed, but maybe they were advised to steer clear of that for now. Tbf, they had some other content they removed as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Here's the reel ⬇️

It is sweet N has a new Mommy mate in the cast. 🥰🤱 ⬇️

***And the ss of the MP article ⬇️

Note: No idea if N read it but she did follow the NY Times and MP and I'd think his relationship w/ his wife and political stance could be relatable to her... 😊

[fiamat12]

Thank you, Anon. I have appreciated your contributions! I'm not going to discuss B or the trolls anymore because like A it just gives them the attention they want and my peace and that of this blog is more important ✌️

I will say that everyone's blog is different and I've always run my like an Op Ed, and you're right, I do all my research/ speculation bts before I post. I've made it clear why/ when I block and I'm in line w/ one of N's favorite sayings: "What is meant for you won't pass you by". Essentially this blog isn't for everybody, and vice versa.

As for the summer shenanigans, I wish I had a clear vision of where it's all going but silence nor absence of certain players doesn't seem to be an indicator of anything atp so I'm trying to stay neutral without assigning meaning to an event, until there's an undeniable annoucement or revelation that comes w/ it. I do believe that N has not been hiding her NYC coded sm activity lately, which is probably a good sign. 🗽🇺🇲
