I rarely go on Facebook anymore but I went on it a couple of weeks ago and I had a friend suggestion for both Ivan and a relative of his.
I’ve also learned that Ivan and some of his Facebook friends, have some shared mutuals with me (people I went to school with etc.).
I was just going to keep this to myself but it’s so unbelievable to me tbh, so thought I’d share! 😅

It is an emotional scene but I just have to say, when Genevieve goes over to Tobias’ apartment to see him and he mentions the childhood story of him decorating the Christmas tree in shades of grey—I got to say, he reminded me a little of David Rose from Schitt’s Creek, especially when David decorated the Blouse Barn in black and white decor. 😅
Though something Gideon said in an interview made me think of David (+ Stevie + Jake) to be honest, so I guess he’s a little bit David in real life!
The something in question, is that Gideon was once in a throuple and so, learning that, my mind instantly flew to Schitt’s Creek again because, why not? 🌹

The doubles!

It didn’t dawn on me right away, when I first came across this photo, that the three of them here all played dance doubles on the show (probably an embarrassing amount of time tbh! 😅)
But anyway, here’s the dance doubles for:
Tobias/Gideon - Maxwell Simões
Cheyenne/Lou - Constance Devernay-Laurence
Gabin/Ivan - Arcadian Broad

Still working on my Étoile (aka. Gabias) fic and the usual severe anxiety is plaguing me once more.
I wish it would stop, this…feeling, whenever I write (or do anything really tbh) because I like writing, I enjoy writing, right up until this cloud washes over me and dread creeps in too.
Not sure where I was going with this, or why I’m even making this post really, other then to say that, I’m anxious and don’t be too hard on me when I do eventually post said fic! 😅
I’ve been distracting myself by spending time with my two cats, one aptly named Toby (who, if a cat could have autism, that would be him!). 🥰
Below is Toby:

(He was nearly called Lenny.)

MidgeLenny (+ Alfie) on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Or, shall I say Jack and Tobias?
Thought these interviews might be appreciated here. 🥰

Would have been extra great if they were all being interviewed together but never mind!
Weird to see Luke and Gideon promoting a show that’s cancelled (I know it’s prerecorded, just feels weird at the same time).
Loved both interviews very much though! 🥰
(Also love that The Limp was mentioned once more by Luke! 😅)

I can’t even remember if I’ve asked this or not but ever since I had the thought weeks ago, just in passing, I can’t stop wondering. It’s not even important either.
How old do you think Tobias and Gabin are?
(I know how old Gideon and Ivan are, just thought they might not be playing similar ages.)

Last Line Tag Game
Tagged (kinda) by: @audikatia
Margot was still beaming, her small hand partially playing with a lone curl she had suddenly noticed, near Gabin’s shoulder. “I don’t mind. I love ballet!” She elongated and put great emphasis on the word, ‘love’. She also lost interest in the curl.
This is the last line (technically paragraph…I’m stretching the rules!) that I have written so far of my WIP.
It’s completely unedited atm, so grammar mistakes/flow issues might happen atm.
Still got a lot of writing to do!
Tagging: Anyone who’d like a go!

(Remade version of this post without poll.)
I had a thought:
Hypothetically, if they were to get married and/or have children together, whose last name would be first?
Would it be, Roux-Bell or Bell-Roux?
Just curious what everyone's thoughts and opinions are. 💛

Currently attempting to write my Étoile fan fic and I’ve ended up, instead of actually writing the thing, I’ve started creating something of a family tree for Tobias.
My interest in genealogy strikes again! 😅

A young Ivan giving ballet vibes. 🩰
Came across this photo on Facebook, when I was looking for something unrelated.
He was either 18 or 19 here.

Sorry to butt in, I agree with everything mentioned here!
Just adding my comment here. 😄

I also didn’t know that there was a French equivalent to ‘Bro’ but there we are, you learn something new every day! 💛
suggestions are open: if gabin's nickname for tobias is "maverick" & "top gun" what does tobias call him?
another top gun reference? or would tobias try out all sorts of french petnames in a perfect accent but gabin would just cringe at them everytime because it's just not ... tobias?
alternatively: gabin starts calling tobias "baby" in a really bad american accent and tobias retaliates with a "mon chou" (and after that they swear off petnames other than maverick)

Étoile related things have been slowly appearing in my literal dreams.
I had a dream recently about Jack’s ex-wife appearing on the show and how she looked etc.
(This is all so clunkily written but okay!)
So, though I and many of us would have loved or imagined Rachel Brosnahan playing her, I actually dreamed that she was played by someone else.
Though, it did dawn on me a little afterwards, that there is still a Luke Kirby connection to this imaginary casting.
I imagined her played by Irish actress, Dominique McElligott, who worked with Luke on the tv show, The Astronaut Wives Club. They played Louise Shepard and Max Kaplan respectively.





Also, kind of related (but kind of not) but thought this was a photo of Rachel tbh! 😅

Another photo of Dominique:

(Rachel Brosnahan kind of looks similar to my friend, who looks predominantly Irish, even though said friend isn’t 100% Irish…she’s also part German and part French.)
