MK: July-August, nobody is stopping me from believing she's a summer baby. July 4th, why Independence Day? Because, I said so.

Chase: I'm pretty funny. I said "You should be born on April 1st because you're a joke!!".. I lack a sense of humor, btw.

Alright, this is it, the last of the Buddies.

This, the Buddy for May 11th, marks the end of this little project. It's my 366th upload. As a compilation of all of my previous drawings (you might need to open it in a new tab to see it better), it technically breaks the rule of using only white, black and red, thanks to compression issues on the drawings for March 18th and September 9th. But, well, I figured I did post stuff that didn't break that rule those days, so it doesn't matter. Besides, the project's finished now.

There are some good ones there too, although a lot of them are traces, so I won't be counting those. I liked the pin for May 18th, that's something I had been working on before I started, and I still think it looks better and more polished than my actual art. The sketchy drawing for May 17th is good too, even if it's kind of phoned in.

May 27th looks cute, and June 17th was a good idea, even if the implementation was a bit lazy; but at least it wasn't a trace for once. June 23rd was cool, though I wish I had made it a gif. Lack of time, I guess.

The woman in July 15th looks pretty good, and the gif for July 25th is pretty badass, even if it was a simple one. July 29th was one of my funniest ideas. I like the shading for September 7th. September 19th and October 1st were also female figures, I'm proud enough of those. Some of the drawings on the template for October 3rd were good. October 16th looks pretty good, something I'd use on a comic.

The first "strip" on October 23rd was a pain to make, but I like the joke in it. The nerdy relationship map on November 15th was fun, but it was more for my benefit, not really special, art-wise.

December 1st was different from my usual style, I like it, even if the anatomy is pretty wrong. The tarot cards on December 17th were an earlier project, but also really nice.

The lighting on the drawing for December 20th was fun to make too. January 16th looks really simple, but I like the vibe of it. The strip for February 3rd was an idea I'm also proud of. More women, on February 11th, 19th and 28th. The negative colors effect on Mach 4th worked better than I expected, too.

I think the gif on March 22nd worked well enough, although I rushed it. The joke on March 26th was something that was on my mind for some time.

There was the strip on April 10th with different versions under the main post, those were nice enough. The gif on April 12th was hard to make, and I'm not too happy with it, but it was an ambitious idea..

The Buddy for May 8th looks the closest to what I had wanted to do as a proper webcomic, so I'm happy with it, although there was some trouble making it, and I was pretty bored with the project already.

But, the best Buddy of the year, in my opinion, was, funny enough, the one for January 23rd. The Rob Liefeld parody. It's funny cause I drew it so it'd look crappy, and, well, it does, but still better than my usual art, just with more lines and cliché Liefeld stuff. Pretty XXXtreme.

It's weird that one of my earlier comic ideas was a Liefeld parody, where a seemingly-normal person would get involved in the world of Liefeld badasses and contrast those comics' anti-logic with the real world. I wrote a lot of it, but gave up about 2/3rds in. Not that there's much point in mocking Rob Liefeld nowadays, anyway.

I'm not sure what'll become of this tumblr now. I'm trying to keep focused on art and distance myself from online dumpster fire discourse, so I'm trying to fill out my new sketchbooks for now.

Anyway, thanks for all the likes throughout the year, I appreciate the interest from everyone who found my silly little OC entertaining enough.

Helloo ✨️❣️

For the game you've opened, I was born on the 28th of April 2003 at 2:10 am in Amman Jordan and I still live here. My online persona is named Azura (she/her).

This song I have it on repeat while I get ready for work these days, it's not a happy song but it's good,

Look on down from the bridge by Mazzy Star

I hope u like the song!

Hello, thank you for the song recc ❤️‍🔥

With sun & mercury in 4th, I’ve noticed they are either raised by a single parent or many parents. You could have grandparents, aunts or uncles that helped raise you. Your family may be a bit controlling. You as an aqua rising are difficult to control. For this reason, your family may see you as a bit rebellious.

Your family may have emphasized the importance of money. To feel secure you need to know you are financially stable. This is the big difference between your pisces moon and taurus sun. Your pisces moon is very imaginative while your taurus sun keeps you realistic.

You may be artistic. You may express through words, for example: poetry/songwriting, singing, story writing. You may want to pursue a creative career. Yet, you may have fears about money and stability.

Your career will require you to communicate. You are very good with your words. You could be very charismatic and persuasive. You may excel in marketing/sales and media. Your work may find success in foreign lands as well. For example, your work may require you to communicate with foreigners.

You may even want to consider owning a business. I say this because it is likely in your career, you are the face of the company or brand. Appearances matter in your career. For example, A flight attendant, they have to appear very polite and well groomed.

Going to college and university may be a draining thought or experience. You could experience boredom and disinterest. You may choose to not go or to drop out. If you do go, a lot of effort would be required to stay motivated.

Your married life, may surprise your family. This can be for many reasons. Perhaps, you don’t marry your partner but live together. Or you marry but don’t have kids as soon as the family would like. It’s hard to say exactly but there is likely some sort of surprise for your family. Since saturn is your DK, it could be the that your partner is likely older than you.

Despite the family’s initial surprise, your partner is very loving and nurturing. They are witty/clever. They are funny often in a sarcastic kind of way. They are a curious person. They have many interests and are knowledgeable. They may be like a teacher to other people. They have a hard outer shell but are very compassionate and empathetic inside. Negatives: their protectiveness can feel possessive. secretive of true feelings for example may not tell anybody when they are sick or feeling bad. highly independent.

In their career, they are likely helping others. It is likely a physical and communicative career. For ex: Law enforcement/Military, Physical trainer or Physical therapist. It is hard to know exactly though. But they have the discipline and bravery to do those types of careers.

Appearance is so difficult in astrology. But I’m going to try to guess anyways. Physically, you may have sharp features. Strong Jaw or cheeck bones. Arched and long eyebrows. You may be tall. Possibly lean or lanky.

According to your solar return, this year there may be some type of sudden surprise in your home/family. You may suddenly move. You could hear news of someone in the family having a kid. This could lead to some tension in the home and family life. This news or event may happen this month since uranus and mars will be conjunct around July 15. Try to avoid getting into arguments in the home. Be cautious of overspending as mars is in your 2nd.

You may be having issues with 3rd House topics - communication, community, siblings/cousins, transportation. This is because chiron has been here since 2019. This year there may be opportunity to resolve these issues since Venus & mercury are in the 3rd. Be cautious is saving money as saturn in the 2nd requires financial discipline.

I hope you enjoyed the reading. Please leave feedback 🫶

All Hail King Julien survey! 🎉

Feel free to copy & paste, then give ur own answers! 👍 Stolen from @fairfaxandy

1. What do you think about All Hail King Julien?

Worst show ever

2. When did you first watch the show?

I knew this show existed for years. WHY DID I SLEEP ON IT FOR SO LONG??? Anyway last June I think I finally gave the 1st episode a chance, I was bored & looking for something new. The 1st episode is only okay so I didn't think much of it. A few weeks later (early July) I decided to give the show a 2nd chance. Episode 2 is meh, but it was Episode 3 w/the absolute gay furry thirst trap that is Karl Fanaloka that won me over & sealed my fate to watch the whole show 🔥

3. Favorite season?

Season 2 is probably the best season of any show ever in history. Exiled as a whole is also amazing but sadly dips in quality for a couple episodes IMO

4. Favorite episode?

Um have u even watched my episode rank video?? I put s3e6 (Jungle Games) as my #1, but as time's gone on, I think it's really s5e11 (KJ Is Watching You AKA the Orange ITN Black parody episode). Ted is peak and this episode is his peak 🔥

5. Least favorite episode?

As said in my ep rank video!! The S3 opener - O Captain Where Aren't Thou (both parts). Jokes fall flat, KJ's parents are a pain to watch, & the pirate crew is so forgettable I can't name a single one off the top of my head

6. Favorite scene?

Um the whole show but the hardest I laughed at any moment was when Ted suddenly exploded on stage while singing for no f*cking reason

7. Least favorite scene?

s3e4 the episode basically opens with a minute of nasty visualized farts & everyone vomiting on each other. I like gross-out to an extent but this was TOO. MUCH.

8. Favorite characters?

1st: Ted my beloved 💗💗💗 he's so much like me it's scary

2nd: King Julien - a VERY close 2nd. His energy & ability to stay goofy in even the worst situations inspires me to be the same 🔥

3rd: Karl - Gay thirst trap hottie social reject misunderstood sad backstory creative genius who just wants love 😭😭😭

4th: Mort - Objectively the best fictional character of all time. Sure he delivers the funniest moments in animated history but I don't really feel a connection with him like I do the top 3

5th: "Uncle" Julien - sass and ASS 🍑🥵 I love villains who are unapologetically assholes. His redemption was forced & stupid

9. Least favorite character?

Maggie - I love farts but it 100% depends on who. If it's a hot guy then 😍😍😍 but this is an old woman so 🤢 & that's like her whole character

10. Favorite ships?

Jaurice - absolutely adorable couple, heck I get teary eyed just thinking about them, gosh I'm so gay. Anyway their ship is extra special b/c KJ is usually hedonistic & horni, but with Maurice it's so wholesome & romantic 🥺

Julieddy & Karlien - These 2 ships have their own unique dynamics, but I put them together b/c they're both a gay man desperately wanting a man they can't have. This kinda situation always fascinates me & I can relate myself...

Karl x Chauncey - we all kno who Karl wants the most, but the fact that he has a happy life with Chauncey makes me happy 😌

Pandy - Be gay do crime

Ted x Horst - tbh if Ted finally divorced & married a man instead, Horst is a genuine contender

Nurse Phantom & Dr. S - the way they bicker is hilarious

KJ x Rob - Gay booty bumpin hotties enough said

11. Least favorite ships?

Clage - I've already ranted about it a million times it's just crap

"Uncle" Julien x Zora - like I said, forced & stupid

Willie x anyone - Willie's too innocent y'all

12. Have you ever cried while watching?

I'm an overly emotional gay man I cry over litcherally everything. I practically choked to death crying the first time I saw Maurice fall 😭

13. Favorite songs?

-Theme song superiority 🔥🔥🔥

-True Bromance is a gay anthem for the ages

-All Eyes On Me (Photronique) 🔥🔥

-I also like Swagnificent & Big Stacks

Favourite(ish) 2023 Artworks

New year, and I forget to post art here all the time, so I'll just do some favourite pieces that I did throughout 2023. Some might be reposted, I forget what I post here. XD

It's mostly just CotC.

Cat Day art with Elletrix and Leon!

Valentines ladies!! I did a countdown to the day, and these were some of my favourites! L'eeto, Erika, Iris, and Elletrix!

Favourites of March

To complement the Valentines drawings, I did a White Day Countdown as well! I drew the partner that I ship them with. I hope to draw the outfits and ships again for Valentines Day or White Day... maybe both? Anyway, that's Barrad, Leon, and Tiziano!

4th Anniversary drawing of CotC's demo! Hard to believe that 2024 is the 5th Anniversary! Better go all out on that one later! Happy Anniversary to Sofiano!

Favourites of April

Elleon chibis!! I should remake these.

Favourites of May

Mermay Chibis! This was the best Idea I've done for Mermay... would like to do them all again if I can think of a different way to draw them!

Favourites of June

I... drew nothing in June, and nothing I am really all that happy with either.

Favourites of July

5th Anniversary Countdown and the artwork for it too! I wanted to celebrate with Kit Crossford! One of my favourite NPCs!

July was Art Fight month too, so most of my drawings this month were attacks!

Favourites of August

My last drawing for Art Fight was an attack on my best friend Cinna! I drew their OC Lucifer.

Favourites of September

Project Path Action hosted a Weekly Drawing prompt, so I drew Elletrix for Week 3 which was about favourite Guardians of the Light! Love her so much!!

Favourites of October

Seed Story's 1st Anniversary art! I drew all the know Sage Caits! I am happy that they are able to playable now!

Collab for Cinna for the 3rd Anniversary, I still look at this and say, "We did that???" So much fun to draw all of them! And Cinna did AMAZING with the ring forms.

After drawing Saint Sazantos in the anniversary drawing, I really wanted to try drawing him normally. So I did that for the PPA Weekly Prompts, was fun!

Favourites of November

Huevember!! Aaa I had so much fun with 2023 Huevember! Here's to 2024!

Favourites of December

My second choice for the PPA Free Week! I love Leon a lot!! Needed an excuse to draw him with the spear that I now headcanon his. (It's the Grandport spear!!) He matched perfectly with the earlier one of Elletrix! They are married!!

Team Asano Secret Santa entry! Was fun to draw this scenario!

Holidays in Grandport would be so lively, so dressing the Elves up as... well elves was fun! And of course incorporating the lord of Grandport with her husband was also much needed! I love Grandport a lot!!

I wanted to draw a 1 Year Anniversary drawing for Erika/Elle's CotC implementation! She was one of the most excitable reveals they've done in a presentation! At this rate, nobody's going to top her reveal unless it's Oskha or Tiziano.

[shinsengumi-archives]

Why did you become a fan of the Shinsengumi?

Poll results from July 2000 (link)

This is a theme with a long title, but I got over 100 votes, which is probably the most votes I've received so far! Thank you so much! I’m not able to update the site at this time due to a broken modem. Well, when I look at the results... Maybe it was difficult to write the name of the vote, or it was too long 😅 Somehow the range was too wide and vague and I might not have understood it well. I 'm sorry~ I'm sure you'll agree with the first place, Shiba-sensei! After that, there were a few more, such as Mr. Watsuki from Rurouni Kenshin and Kaze Hikaru. The others are fundamentally cool! I guess you could say that each and every one of them had their own drama. I guess that’s the origin of the Shinsengumi’s popularity.

1st place - Because of Shiba Ryotaro (laughs) (24 votes)

The memorable 100th vote >< Moeyo Ken is a masterpiece! !

I think it's the same for all of them

Impressed... it's just an illusion now.

Hijikata-san? ? (meaningless)

I have to have a burning sword...

I know most of it is just an illusion now, but I'm happy...☆

2nd place - Because Souji is a beautiful swordsman (laughs) (18 votes)

Beautiful cedar, Okita-san!

Souji is too cute...

There are too many, but...

Exactly! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

After all, Okita-san is good looking (laughs)

This is a key point! ! (laughs) But this is almost synonymous with Shiba-san (?)... (sweat)

Souji did it for me. (what?)

I'll stick to this!

3rd place - Watsuki's fault (13 votes)

Viva fangs! !

Because I am one of them...

It's because of Ruroken. Watsuki-sensei, don't be afraid! !

Thank you, Watsuki-sensei!

In the end, which one was more influential, Ruroken or Kazehikaru?

Anyway, it's Watsuki's fault.

Young people today like Shinsengumi Choshu because Ruroken is big.

I became interested in the Shinsengumi after seeing Mr. Okita.

Because hey...

You've done as much as you can!

Because this is how I learned about the Shinsengumi.

4th place - Because Kaze Hikaru is interesting (11 votes)

This is the reason why most of the Shinsengumi fans around me (including myself) are stupid (laughs).

It's funny, isn't it? agreement.

Because it's funny!

So-chan is cool! !

This is absolutely true!

5th place - Charming personalities (9 votes)

Shinsengumi people are good...☆

Various...

So many characters! !

The people in the end of the Tokugawa shogunate are really good

Each and every one of them who survived the turbulent era of the end of the Edo period at the risk of their lives is attractive.

6th place - Because Toshizo is a handsome boy (6 votes)

Toshizo, cool!!

PM Hijikata is the best!

There are many people who fell in love with you, right?

7th place - Delicious relationships... (4 votes)

Really, it's too delicious! Viva Shinsengumi! !

The possibility cannot be denied!

Because everyone is friendly...

8th place - Because Mr. Harada is handsome (3 votes)

Kya~! !

I love Mr. Harada! ! !

8th place - Because it was turbulent (3 votes)

Because it's about pure men who don't exist anymore

Souji died young of tuberculosis, so his life is very dramatic? I think so.

Anyway, it's amazing

8th place - Because of the law... (laughs) (3 votes)

Seriously! ? That's what it felt like.

No lol! ! I've gone out of my way!

11th place tie - Is it because of the publication? (2 votes)

There are many things. Is this in the broadest sense?

11th place tie - Because I'm Japanese (2 votes)

11th place tie - The era (2 votes)

14th place - Mr. Kondo's morality! (1 vote)

He's not popular at all, but he's a great guy.

Saturday 4 July 1998 - the S-Bahn ring train and one week from the Love Parade in Berlin

Saturday 4th July 1998

Hi everyone Hope you had a happy 4th of July.  Even if I am overseas on the 4th of July, I try to make the day meaningful.  Summer 1998 was no exception, nor was Summer 1997 when I visited Zurich and Milan that weekend.  The morning of 4th July 1998 was on Saturday, so I had to do some grocery shopping.  I also bought some music CDs at the Media Markt near the V-Markt in the EuroIndustriepark, to listen to.  Here is what I bought.

"Metamorphosis" from Culture Beat "Flowers" from Ace of Base Single "Bailando" from Loona (Bailando, bailando amigos adios, adios, el silencio loco)

Why did I not buy "Bleibt alles anderes" from Herbert Grönemeyer "13" from Die Ärzte (with "Männer sind Schweine") "Read my sign" from Bell Book & Candle (with "Rescue Me", the official video has surreal efffects)   I am not sure, but in the last few months I did buy "Bleibt alles anderes"

There was still time to buy other music as the month progressed.  After I brought the groceries and music CDs home, it was time to head to München Hbf, for a special train.  The fare was 4.50 D-Mark  My usual month pass would not be valid, so I would have to buy a ticket from the conductors.  This included a day pass on the train and a free sandwich on a pretzel bun and 12 ounce / 330 mL can of soft drink.

Why was the train ride special?  It was not a regularly scheduled route.  It was organized by people who I think were lobbyists for an S-Bahn ring around Munich, instead of a monorail.  The train was built of four second class compartment cars @6 people per compartment and one single-aisle seating car, and driven by a DB-218 diesel locomotive.  The route was clockwise and started out of München Hbf, went as far north as Moosach, then went through the EuroIndustriepark without stopping, turned south at Johanneskirchen, stopping for a few minutes at Ostbahnhof, before continuing on to Moosach.  The lobbyists gave an objective speech over the loudspeaker *auf Deutsch* on the existing infrastructure, and why they would lobby for an S-Bahn ring.  I must have stayed on the train for two more rotations to Ostbahnhof, I think a further hour and a half.  The turnout on the train was quite good.  I made it back to Hauptbahnhof to see what I could do to get a seat on the Sommer-Spezial IC train from Berlin Zoo to München Hbf via Leipzig and Nürnberg.

This one is quite difficult to explain, given its complexities, so please bear with me.  As for arranging a train ride from Munich to Berlin on the Sommer-Spezial ticket, there are certain different connections between cities.  The connections have a very limited amount of eligible seating per train.  For example, there is one compartment of six (For 8th August I will let you know how someone managed to squeeze in seven in a compartment!) for each of second and first classes.  You had to ride the entire distance from the first city to the second without changing trains, otherwise the ticket would be no good.  In 1998, the InterCityExpress trains were excluded, so Intercity and Eurocity were the most premium class available.  Some city pairs did not even have EC or IC but InterRegio which is a bit downmarket.  For example I think Frankfurt am Main to Dresden Hbf was one of the participating InterRegio train routes.  Sommer Spezial fares for adults was 69 D-Mark for second class, and 89 D-Mark for first class.  For Munich in 1998, the Sommer Spezial cities were Berlin, Vienna and Zurich.  All worked out very well, as I had planned to visit anyway, and buying a Sommer Spezial ticket, would save in total 5 days on the rail pass.  Three between Munich and Zürich, one between Munich and Vienna, and one between Berlin and Munich.  I would still need to use the rail pass for Friday 10 July, take the "Justus Freiherr von Liebig" ICE replacement for the previous "Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen" which was badly damaged on 3rd June 1998 in Eschede, and make a change to an InterCity train in Fulda Hbf to Berlin Zoologischer Garten.  Anyway that was the complexity of the Sommer Spezial ticket.  Did I mention, that although most cities in Germany have a two-day pass offer for those travelling over 200 km by train, that Berlin does not?  I will tell more about that next week.

To follow up, what became of that train and the objectives thereof?  Currently there is a second S-Bahn tunnel being built, just north of the original S-Bahn tunnel through Hauptbahnhof, Marienplatz, Isartor and Ostbahnhof, not exactly a ring as the one I rode on.  Also Unterföhring on the S-8 line was put underground, same as Ismaning that was already underground.   Next adventure is Berlin and a visit to Slubice through Frankfurt an der Oder.  Hope you had a safe holiday, and please take care of the fur babies against the fireworks.

Do widzenia, i trzymaj sie! (przepraszam, nie mówie po polsku bardzo dobrze)

There's a lot of people who are wondering what's happening here a lot of people know about it he's more locked out of control and became mean and started messing around with everyone and lost now they're getting their asses kicked right along with Tommy f they brought their fleet up there and we're firing on Tommy f and just keep trying to move towards Venus and they were destroyed. Their entire fleet practically it was we here three quarters of it and was obliterated they don't want to try scrapping it.

-couple more things are happening here that are making my day the remaining fleet has been ordered to be chased down and destroyed for treason against their kind and there she can get out with a vengeance in those rewards for it like your own ship and your own fleets little ones and people going after it now

-we're doing that with our people too I'm going to Tracy's idiots down

-they have a warrant out there for John Cena AKA Billy z for the device that he set off it wasn't even a firework no it was but he's going to be arrested for it this is not July 4th and people saw him do it up the street and you're going to prison John Cena if you don't make it out thank God you're such a loser you hv like no program because of it

Oct 5 2022 (7:27am)

This past week or so has been slippery for sleeping. I seem to be going through another anxiously energized phase. It’s similar to the last one in July in that I’m largely fine, but I have a handful of hairy moments and I sleep poorly. That past handful of nights, I’ve fallen asleep quick, slept for a bit (2-3 hours) woken up (heart racing), fallen back asleep for a bit until about 5:30ish, then I’m awake awake, sometimes with racing heart.

On (before) the 3rd, slept fine, woke up a little anxious, dealt with it, felt good, got home a started getting anxious again and decided to just let it roll. I thought about Izzy and I, got rather emotional, went to her place and cried. I properly cried, like while talking. I’m actually happy that I broke down like that, and let go of whatever “blockage” there was.

The next night (4th) slept similarly. A choppy 7 hours; up at 5:30ish. Worked a bit on video. Did some yard work. Dishes. Ate. Went for a nice walk. Went to Izzy’s and loitered around 11. Anxiety low, but kinda like… nervous, unrelaxed. Yknow, like, thinking about anxiety level, kinda distracted. Went for a walk downtown round 12:30. Same energy, able to enjoy myself but somewhat unrelaxed and tired. Dropped Izzy of at the ferry at 5:30, she’s going to Trixie and Katya in Vancouver with Elsa and Kaytee. The whole day I was pretty fine, had a few moments but meh, nothing I can’t handle.

Went to sleep round 9:30, woke up around 12:30 with a… racing mind. It was like my body was really tense, and my sleeping mind followed. I woke up and went to do my usual positive thinking routine but there was this interesting vibe of like “not necessary man, just leave it”, and I just kinda rode it out for a minute and felt pretty in control once I like, woke up fully. Man was I full of tension tho. I was up until 3ish just sorting through my mind, thinking about Izzy and I with a focus on how my not wanting to move out could be… solved? I just examined my feelings there and had some insights.

When I was younger, and now too, I LOVED space. I absolutely loved arranging my room and having fun with it. Building a room. It was such a source of inspiration, to make a really cool room that was a expression of me; a space that embodied fun and… yeah. It was fun. The thought of sharing my room with somebody, or just my general space was nauseating. Only child syndrome much? lol.

Anyway, I’ve obviously kept that trait my whole life. It’s a strength because I derive immense satisfaction when I can make a… beautiful? space. Basically a man-cave. Let’s face it. I love having a cave. It was first a boy-cave, now it’s becoming a man-cave. A lounge. An office. A place that is me, and that I have full freedom to fuck around with and do whatever. Somewhere cool where I can host my friends, somewhere people enjoy themselves and feel like they enjoy the space.

Anyway, the problem here is that I am very very used to something (man-cave) that is essentially a luxury. To have a dedicated space as a studio-lounge IN your house is not considered a basic necessity these days. The expected geography of your living space when you move out is one of necessity and cost-consciousness, not “what do i exactly desire”.

My dream living situation is unsurprising. A house, not too big, not too small with a studio space. Comfy, cool furniture, clean, character, calm. A yard with trees. Noticing any similarities between this description and 3560 Planta Rd? It’s a mind fuck! I’m living the ideal… well not quite.

In this house, I am not FULLY responsible for myself, I am not FULLY responsible for the house. I enjoy the space but only insofar as it I enjoy in the same way that I did when I was 18, say. It’s not an extension of my full potential as a competent person. I CAN earn a wage. I CAN maintain a household. I CAN be fully responsible for myself. As long as I avoid thinking about moving out of this house, my progress as a person is not at a pace that I would otherwise find fun and enjoyable. Going through life is fun, the terrestrial challenges and balancing acts. I take great satisfaction in growing up and the freedoms and rich environments and challenges it gives me. I’m good at stuff, and smart, and I love exercising my strengths… and weaknesses sometimes…

I think this current bundle of anxiety is very related to that. I love moving forward, changing, working toward my ideal, but I’ve felt very stuck recently. It’s not hard to conclude that this entire anxious period is about that. About feeling like a competent and deserving person, but feeling stuck in the mud. The band, job, relationship.

The process has already begun, but I think I the solution to everything could be that these aspects of my life need to grow up. They need to stop operating on old software, so as to meet a bare-minimum requirement with the end of maintaining a pseudo-luxurious way of day to day life.

I’ve felt this incoming improvement with the prospect of playing with this Michael Wilfor drummer guy. He’s professional, enthusiastic, and likes making music. He works for a standard rate, and comes off organized and pleasant and clean. This is the music biz functioning well. This simplicity lets the vibe blossom and be about the music. It makes me feel inspired and happy to think I could be a part of that world.

Also, getting into wedding videography, and having it seem like a realistic job that I would enjoy working, that has the potential for growth and to pay well. Wow. It feels grown up. It feels like a “real job”, whatever that means, it’s more the vibe for me. I can people what I do with enthusiasm. I’m a very prideful guy. Videography, too, has many other branches that I would have access to once I got good and situated. It’s kind of the perfect option for me. AND it can be used in the music sector of my life.

Working at Brud House is going to be great too. It’s going to help me get back into my optimal routine. I’m a morning person, but haven’t been able to live that. Working at a coffee shop is one of those jobs too where once you have the skill, you can get a coffee shop job anywhere. They’re just cool too.

To wrap this entry up, there are so many open doors to me right that all lead the next great phase of my life, I just need to embrace everything that goes with it. Not just the parts I like, or ones that don’t impede on my comfort zone.

Babygate Analysis/Conclusions: A Non-Larry Perspective

(Image Credit: Hollywood Life)

I'm prefacing this post with a few disclaimers:

After some consideration, I chose to write this without factoring in Larry whatsoever. No Larry-related points, proof, or speculation in any way. This is solely analyzing babygate from an unbiased perspective. 

I don't claim to know the entire truth. It is impossible for any of us to know.  What I conclude is based on direct evidence, circumstantial evidence, research, and analysis.

I am willing to discuss opposing views. I’m happy to talk about the topic in a civil, kind, and mature matter. I will dismiss any discourse that is aggressive, immature, and so on.

I did not include every single opinion/conclusion/piece of evidence I found. I condensed my thoughts as much as possible (and this is still a novel-length post). There are so many more points I can think of. However, babygate masterposts cover all of that; I’ll link to some of those at the end.

The conclusion points aren't in a very specific order. I aimed to list related points one after another. Aside from that, it's not in order of "hardest to weakest" evidence.

Please read “Author’s Notes” for additional clarity/input. They interject thoughts/etc. that I feel are necessary to include. 

Lastly, I included links to every source I cited in this post. However, I did not tag the Tumblr users. I’m not sure if they are comfortable with having Babygate questions/comments directed to their blogs. If you are a linked source and want to be tagged, please let me know! 

My Initial Reaction To Babygate

In February of 2020, I received several messages on LateToLarry requesting that I analyze something called “babygate”. I had no idea what babygate meant at the time. 

I learned what it meant, and prior to any research I felt the theory was so absurd. I also felt uncomfortable analyzing it because I believed I’d feel bias as a single mom. The idea of discussing a random child in depth initially bothered me, too. I declined to analyze it last year.

However, I did a LOT of research over time. My opinion has changed significantly. Below, I’ve shared my main conclusions and analysis about babygate. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy my post! 

1. No Paternity Test Was Performed Prior To The Pregnancy Announcement

Louis was/is a prominent celebrity and has a current net worth of $70 million. From legal, financial, and practical standpoints, it makes no sense for him to choose not to get a test. 

It’s unheard of in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Any sensible team -lawyers, PR reps, managers, advisors, etc. - would not just go along with it. They are employed to protect his career and image. 

The Opposing Views

A. “Briana/Louis didn’t want to risk miscarriage with prenatal testing.”

Non-invasive testing is completely safe for fetuses and pregnant women, so there’s no medical reason for the lack of testing.

B. “Louis chose not to get the test done because he wanted to be a father and was invested in the pregnancy/parenting.”

Time has shown that this is not true. Louis does not have custody; there was a brief custody case in 2016 that led nowhere. He does not have a consistent or prominent role in the child’s life.

Conclusion

There is no logical reason for the lack of paternity testing prior to the announcement unless Louis knew he was not the father and all parties knew this to be true.

2. There Was No Confirmation Of A Paternity Test After The Birth

I’ll keep this section fairly short. A quick Google search returns dozens of conflicting reports. Many of them state that Louis demanded a paternity test shortly after birth. Other reports state that he has never pursued a paternity test. 

Here are a few examples:

“Louis Tomlinson not interested in paternity test” - Business Standard

“EXCLUSIVE: Louis Tomlinson Demanded a DNA Test “As Soon as the Baby Was Born”” - InTouch Weekly

“Louis Tomlinson: No DNA Test Needed ... Positive Freddie's His Son” -TMZ

“Louis Tomlinson & Briana Jungwirth: WhyHe Had DNA Test Done on His Newborn Son” - Hollywood Life

This Twitter thread discusses TMZ reports that - as of 2020 - no DNA test was done.

Conclusion

There is no reliable confirmation that Louis pursued a paternity test. The media cannot come to a general/factual consensus.

Again, there is no reasonable explanation for the lack of paternity testing unless Louis knows he is not the father of the child. 

3. The Conception-To-Birth Timeline Is Inconsistent/Unreliable

Pregnancy and conception as a whole can be rather confusing; timelines from conception to birth are unique to each person. Having said that, Briana’s timeline is full of glaring inconsistencies that don’t add up. 

I’ll begin with this timeline based on bulletprooflarry’s post and my own research. Dates I’ve added myself include linked sources:

May 5th, 2015 - Louis and Briana were first seen together in public.

May 6th to May 31st, 2015 - Briana and her mom followed baby-related social medial accounts.

May 12th, 2015 - Louis and Briana were pictured together in public.

July 3rd, 2015 - Louis is seen with Briana’s brother in Hollywood.

July 14th, 2015 - The first pregnancy report is published.

August 4th, 2015 - Louis confirms pregnancy on GMA.

January 21st, 2016 - The child is reportedly born.

Based on the dates above, these are the possible dates/milestones for her pregnancy:

Scenario A - If conception occurred on May 5th, Briana was 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant on January 21st, 2016. This is considered an early-term birth and about 26% of births occur at 37 weeks.

Scenario B - If conception occurred on May 12th, Briana was 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant on January 21st. This is considered a late-term or late premature birth and about 10% of births occur at 36 weeks.

These dates matter because Briana’s alleged hospital stay was not consistent with a premature or early-term birth. She was pictured in public - healthy and holding a baby carrier - within one week of giving birth. 

(Image Credit: Daily Mail)

(Image Credit: larrysbbrbb28)

If she gave birth based on the dates above, it’s extremely unlikely that she or the baby would be out in public so soon.

Below are screenshots of an additional timeline from an archived Tumblr post. It provides excellent points about more timeline inconsistencies: 

The main inconsistencies and red flags are bolded in the post. It supports the unreliable conception timeline, and it also mentions my next point - the official pregnancy announcement. 

The post above mentions that the Jungwirth family followed baby-related accounts before Briana could possibly know she was pregnant. Here’s one screenshot from skepticallarrie proving it:

I’ve also seen several posts that show inconsistencies with the size of Briana’s baby bump. Unfortunately, the most reliable post no longer exists. You can view a web archive of Briana’s pregnancy photos, but most of the image links are broke. 

The only post I have saved is a web archive of a long babygate post. The beginning of the post contains photos showing discrepancies in the size of Briana’s baby bump. 

The Opposing Views

“Pregnancy looks different on everybody, everyone recovers differently, etc.”

Yes, this is true and a valid point! As a woman who has gone through multiple pregnancies and two live births, I truly understand this argument. 

However, the sheer amount of inconsistencies are what make this a red flag. There are too many unreliable and contradicting points to brush this off. It goes beyond the point of “well, each person has a different experience”.

Conclusion

There are a few conclusions/scenarios I believe you can draw from the information above:

Briana was pregnant prior to meeting Louis.

Briana was never pregnant in the first place. 

Both are valid to consider, but I personally believe she was never pregnant. 

(Author’s note: My calculation for dates are based on the date of alleged conception. Most due date calculators, by default, use the date of a woman’s last mentrual period - LMP - to provide estimations.

I also used Date Duration Calendar for my calculations. Accessible due date calculators only allowed me to input dates from 2019/2020. Depending on the tools and dates you use, your mileage may vary.)

4. The Announcement Itself Was Highly Unusual

This point ties into the first and third points. I don’t consider it a major piece of evidence, but it’s noteworthy due to the other points. 

So, there are a few reasons why the Good Morning America announcement stands out. 

A. If Briana got pregnant on May 5th, then she was approximately 10 weeks pregnant when the first pregnancy report was published. This also means she was approximately 13 weeks pregnant at the time of the GMA announcement.

If Briana got pregnant on May 12th, she was approximately nine weeks pregnant at the time of the first report and approximately 12 weeks pregnant at the time of the GMA announcement.

B. The public announcement on Good Morning America raises a lot of questions. I’ve had multiple issues embedding the video; the bolded link takes you to the GMA announcement on YouTube. 

Anyways, these questions/thoughts - disregarding any Larry theories -  come to mind when watching the video: 

This is a segment for promoting/discussing their album/music.

The baby announcement is the sole non-album/music related topic that is mentioned during the segment.

The announcement is not organically worked into the segment as a natural talking point.

Louis’ reactions - such as bringing the microphone to his lips and not talking - is very unlike his standard interview demeanor.

The male interviewer and the band members have noticeable facial expressions and body language that suggest discomfort, stress, or awkwardness. 

A post by skepticalarrie draws similar conclusions. Her post is much more detailed than mine, and I highly recommend reading/viewing it. 

(Author’s Note: I’ve touched upon this on LateToLarry and will make a post here eventually, but body language and facial expressions are valid. They’re valid to the point that they are used in court cases.) 

Conclusion

My conclusions here are twofold. One is that: 

Announcing a pregnancy - especially a celebrity-related pregnancy - this early is extremely uncommon and unlikely.

The announcement itself seems out of place and very forced. 

This particular point, to me, is not extremely strong evidence. I still think it’s worth keeping in mind and is relevant to other points here. So, I’ve included it either way.

5. Briana Posted Stolen Pregnancy/Baby Photos On Social Media

(EDIT: I wrote this piece before the recent release of Briana’s alleged ultrasound and don’t have time to add it. It’s pretty strong proof and can easily be found in recent babygate posts.)

Babygate posts often point out that Briana and the Jungwirth family used stolen/fake pregnancy and baby photos on social media. It’s a well-known topic that’s often discussed. 

I’m condensing this section to a few examples. I encourage additional research if you’d like to see more. 

A. This Tumblr post shows stolen baby bump photos that Briana’s cousin Ashley posted on Twitter: 

B. This Tumblr post and Twitter post show a stolen baby photo that Briana posted on Instagram:

(Author’s Note: Since I was not active in the fandom at the time, I am relying on information from other blogs and social media posts. I vetted my sources pretty well, but any false information is my own mistake.)

Conclusions

The only word that sums this up is “suspicious”. Using stolen photos of a pregnant woman/baby is not necessary if you are legitimately pregnant. That’s really what it boils down to. It lends to the conclusion that Briana was never pregnant. 

6. Photos And Videos Of The Child Are Heavily Altered And Manipulated

It is indisputable that many photos and videos of the child are heavily manipulated to alter his appearance. This goes beyond filters, lighting, and angles. 

Several detailed posts show the manipulations; here are some examples:

A web archive of all Photoshop evidence from tellmethisisnotlove

An in-depth post from genuineconspiracy that includes detailed photo evidence.

A video post from freefreddiereign that shows Photoshop evidence based on photos the child. 

There is no doubt that his facial features are frequently altered. This is easy to conclude using any free software that detects Photoshop. As a photographer myself, I can easily spot the manipulations.

(Author’s Note: I know that directly discussing the child is controversial. When I first heard of babygate, my initial reaction was discomfort about analyzing a child.

I quickly learned/concluded that his family members are responsible for heavily putting him in the public eye. All content I’ve used for research is based on the family’s posts.

Still, I have personally chosen not post pictures of the child, but the links I am sharing contain photos/videos of him.

Additionally, I used FotoForensics on photos of myself prior to writing this. It was important to me to feel absolutely certain about this point. I’m fine with sharing my own FotoForensics images if anyone is curious.)

The Opposing Views

A. “Freddie looks like Louis in pictures that aren’t Photoshopped.”

Parentage cannot be based on whether or not a child looks like his mother/father. I understand the viewpoint, but it’s simply not evidence. Additionally, thinking the child looks like Louis is a matter of opinion. 

There’s also the fact that appearance means nothing overall. Science backs up this statement very well. Examples and references:

“How can children from the same parents look so different?” by HowStuffWorks

“My Baby Looks Nothing Like Me: A Genetic Explanation” by FamilyEducation

Additionally, here is a personal anecdote. I have two sons close to Freddie’s age. One of them looks exactly like his father and nothing like me. The other looks exactly like me and nothing like his father. Despite how they look, they are both of them are our biological children. 

Conclusion

There is no reasonable explanation for altering the child’s appearance - particularly to make him look more similar to Louis. 

I cannot think of a single argument as to why the Jungwirth family would do this unless they need/want the child to look a specific way. 

7. Johannah Deakin’s Official Obituary Does Not Mention The Child

When looking into babygate, I read the argument that the child is legitimately Louis’ son because he is listed as her grandchild in Internet-based obituaries and announcements. 

I also read the counter-argument that Louis’ mother’s official newspaper/print obituary does not mention the child.  I recall seeing proof, but I did not save it at the time. I did some research and this appears to be true. 

The Doncaster Free Press is a local weekly newspaper in Doncaster, and it published an article about the funeral. The article is NOT an obituary itself, but it does list her obituary details. The publication does not list the child among the surviving family members. 

If a mistake is made regarding these details, it’s typical for newspapers to post a correction addressing a misprint. Upon further research, the Doncaster Free Press did not issue a correction at any time. 

(Author’s Note: I lost my own mother and am personally familiar with how local obituaries are written. Immediate family members - i.e. spouses and adult children - provide information regarding surviving family members.) 

Conclusion

The conclusion here is straightforward. Louis and his family chose not to include the child in his mother’s official obituary. This strongly suggests that he is not legitimately related to Louis. 

My Opinion-Based Conclusions

Update: After some consideration, I am saving my opinion-based conclusions for a separate post. I originally intended to include them here; transparency is important to me.

Unfortunately, the section became rather long and took away from the main post points. So, I’ll be working on a post that’s just my opinion-based conclusions. In the meantime, feel free to message me with any questions. 

Final Thoughts

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read my post! I appreciate the interest expressed for it, and I hope it lives up to expectations. 

Again, I want to reiterate this is:

Not an all-inclusive post; I narrowed down my findings to seven points.

Not a masterpost on babygate.

Purposely omitting any potential Larry-related points to remove bias. 

I’ve reread this quite a few times, and it’s as error-free as possible. If you spot any mistakes/errors, I’m completely open to making corrections. Just kindly let me know. 

This list contains references/research about babygate that I consider the most reliable. It includes Larry and non-Larry related Babygate content.

Lastly, if there’s interest in an opinion-related post or Larry-related post, I’ll consider writing them. Feel free to let me know as you all did with this post. 

Thanks!

GRYLES!!!

Rebuilding the Gryles Timeline expertly crafted here because I’m always afraid of broken links and people going private and losing data.

Not only is there a ton of great evidence that these guys were dating such as Harry leaving Nick’s place in the morning wearing the same clothes as he’d worn the night before, I’ve also got a friend who works in the UK music industry and she did tell me these guys did date.  Nick is 100% out as gay so it really does all add up.

Gryles very obviously takes place during Haylor, debunking Harry as the 1989 muse, and if it’s not Harry you do have to wonder... who with green eyes and an obsession with Alice and Wonderland was heavily featured in Taylor’s life and then disappeared before 1989 - a breakup album about someone with green eyes who seems to relate to Alice in Wonderland drops?

You get it.

Anyway here’s Gryles:

This is a little game I like to call "let's talk about Nick/Harry dates and how they line up with Harry leaving and entering the country".

06. February 5th 2012 - Harry and Nick go to a Super Bowl party together.

One Direction in Sweden February 12th - 14th. (Came home by train on the 14th.)

07. February 14, 2012 - VALENTINE'S DAY!

08. February 18, 2012 - Stella McCartney Fashion show with Nick's mom.

09. February 21, 2012 - Brit Awards!

10. February 22, 2012 - They attend a party together. (Nick might have been DJing?)

11. February 23, 2012 - Harry spotted leaving Nick Grimshaw's flat in the same outfit he was wearing the night before.

The morning of February 23rd One Direction flies to the US for their tour and doesn't return to the UK until April 24th, 2012.

This trip is supposedly where Haylor 1.0 happens.  Harry supposedly meets Taylor at the KCA’s on March 31 and they fall for one another.  Taylor supposedly goes to NYC to be with Harry (even though she spends the whole time with Dianna) during the first week of April.  Then they supposedly enter into a long distance relationship that is broken up because Harry was seen out with another girl.

All the while the last thing Harry does before he leaves the UK is spend the night with Nick and then the first thing he does is goes back to him.

Yeah, I’m not buying Haylor 1.0 it seems pretty clear to me that Taylor wanted to pin I Knew You Were Trouble on Harry as a big pop anthem to support her transition to pop.  I think it’s even possible they faked Harry being spotted out with that girl or perhaps he and Nick had some kind of agreement.  I’m not saying Gryles was always exclusive (they may have been), but regardless I don’t see Red era Taylor being cool enough to share her boyfriend with a man.

12. April 25, 2012 - Nick and Harry out together the morning after he returned.

Harry also calls into Nick's radio show on the 25th and confirms that the first thing he did upon returning on the 24th was meet up with Nick and Matt Fincham for drinks so one can theorize he probably crashed w/ Nick that night.

Harry goes to LA by himself on May 1st and returns to the UK on the 5th.

May 5th, 2012 - Harry out with Annie Mac and Nick. (Thanks to my anon for clueing me into this little gem of information.)

13. May 7th, 2012 - Harry and Nick out with friends

One Direction goes to Sweden from May 10th to May 16th.

14. May 17, 2012 - The Sun reports Harry driving Nick to work.

Also out shopping together

15. May 19, 2012 - Nick posts a picture to his instragram from the Kanye West/Jay Z show at the O2.

Who cares right? So he went to see a show. But then.

Hey guess what happened the very next day? One Direction flew to Boston on May 20th, 2012 to start their summer tour in the U.S. They're gone from the 20th to July 3rd.

16. July 5, 2012 - Nick and Harry attend the launch of Tinie Tempah's shoes line.

There's some downtime and vacation time here where Harry disappears for a week while Louis is France w/ Eleanor, Niall goes to Spain, Liam and Danielle are on vacation, etc and then One Direction goes back to work July 11th recording and doing photo shoots.

17. July 19, 2012 - Harry goes out with Nick and Aimee and tweets this.

18. August 10, 2012 - Harry attends Nick's 28th birthday party at La Bodega Negra.

Pregaming before the party!

Outside La Bodega Negra

19. August 11, 2012 - Primrose Hill picnic

20. August 20, 2012 - One Direction visit Nick at BBCR1 to announce their headlining of the BBC Radio 1 Teen Choice Awards.

21. August 25, 2012 -

Nick and Harry go to lunch. (Would also like to point out that they are switching places and that Harry is going to the driver's side of Nick's car :333)

and then to Reading Festival

then Nick accompanies Harry to Liam's party at Funky Buddha

and then they leave together and go see Rita Ora at G.A.Y.

22. August 26, 2012 - The morning after, Nick tweets a shot of his hangover breakfast from Harry's Range Rover (Nick owns a Mercedes).

then a lunch date with several people

They spend this entire day together and this is the day the pics of them in the grocery store  are taken where Nick buys Harry a banana, etc

and then Harry drops Nick off for his nighttime show and picks him up again to take him to/stay with him while Nick DJs at Wonderland nightclub.

(Although, lbr. Given what we learn from Nick's final nighttime show about how often Harry hung around the studio, he probably never left.)

Wonderland! (the only time that fucking song has any bearing on Harry and he’s off being a MLM king)

23. August 28, 2012 - Leaving Nick's flat

spotted in the studio w/ Nick at BBCR1

24. August 30, 2012 - Harry films the Breakfast Show advert for Nick's #Team Grimmy commercial and then they go to Mahiki Club that night.

25. August 31, 2012 - Harry goes with Nick to his DJ gig at Paradise

and then to karaoke afterward

The lo and behold One Direction flies to Florida the very next day to film their Pepsi commercial. They're gone until September 11th.

on September 6, 2012 Taylor has Sushi with Ed and Harry in LA supposedly signaling the start of Haylor 2.0 as if Harry is not fully boyfriends with Nick.

26. September 12, 2012 - Nick's final nighttime show. (this was a gif of them being cute and playing around but I was too lazy to bring it over, you get it they’re touchy, flirty, and playful):

Nick and Aimee go on vacation together from the 14th to the 18th.

27. September 18, 2012 - This dude says he spotted Harry Styles waiting in arrivals at the airport while waiting for his sister's flight to arrive insinuating perhaps Harry was traveling with Nick and Aimee:

29. Harry calls into Nick's first Breakfast Show on September 25, 2012. Then they meet up after to see Perks of Being a Wallflower together. I can't find the tweets from the ladies who saw them there, but Nick and Emma Watson confirm later that Harry was indeed there.

30. September 29, 2012 - Spotted at Waitrose together and then the following morning Nick regales his listeners with the tale of a Spinach pie he made for a ~friend~.

31. October 5th (or 6th?), 2012 - Preparation for Ladz FM

But also on October 5th, Taylor is on Nick’s show:

32. October 6, 2012 - Ladz FM

Supposedly on this show Nick gives Harry hell for Taylor, the Haylor timeline I like puts it this way:

“One Direction and Harry make an appearance on Nick’s show the following day, and they talk about Taylor on-air for 4 minutes straight. Nick teases Harry by saying “Ol’ Swiftyyyy” over and over again when she is brought up in the conversation.” Yup that’s right, Nick was giving his own boyfriend shit about his fake girlfriend 😭😭😭 this is why I fuck w Nick’s energy.

then they went for lunch in notting hill (no Taylor? why not Harry aren’t you so happy to be back with her and in love w her?)

33. October 7, 2012 - BBC Teen Choice Awards

One Direction doing promotion for the new album.

Paris - October 11, 2012

October 31 - One Direction in Spain

Early November One Direction goes to the US for Ellen, X Factor USA, and The Today Show. After The Today Show Harry flies to LA while the rest of One Direction goes back to London. Harry writes a song with the lead singer of Snow Patrol and rumors start flying about him hooking up with Taylor Swift.

Harry arrives back in London on November 16, 2012.

35. November 16, 2012 - Children in Need benefit concert

November 30th One Direction goes back to the U.S. for one off shows and MSG show. Haylor happens.

Harry returns to London on December 8th via Taylor's private jet and plays the Jingle Ball with the rest of One Direction. Harry and Taylor tour the UK together until December 15th when Taylor leaves for France.  Meanwhile Dianna heads out on a mystery 14 hour long flight on December 14th.

36. December 16, 2012 - Roast Dinner!

One Direction returns to the U.S. for the X Factor USA finale. Harry stays in the U.S. and goes on a ski vacation with Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez.

He returns to the UK on December 24th.

37. December 25, 2012 - Late night Christmas leftovers. (Yes they’re spending Christmas together, that’s boyfriend behavior!)

Harry and Nick both leave London on the 29th (Nick for Puerto Rico and Harry for NYC) Harry spends New Years with Taylor and Nick spends New Years with Pixie, Aimee, and the rest of the hipster crew. Harry and Taylor then fly to Gorda British Virgin Islands where they are supposed to vacation until the 7th. Taylor leaves on the 4th and Harry goes to Necker Island alone. Tabloids say Harry and Taylor have broken up.

And that’s it for Haylor!

Harry arrives back in the UK on January 8th

38. January 8, 2013 - Sushi lunch date! (tweet confirming nick was also there.)

and harry with the girl who tweeted it.

39. January 10, 2013 - Tinie Tempah's GQ dinner.

The party was for people on the British GQ best dressed list (Nick was on it. Harry was not.)

Jessie J puts a picture of the table cards from her table on instagram. Harry doesn't have one which, you know. I'll just be here imagining him as Nick's + 1.

One Direction fly to Ghana on the 12th or 13th and return on the 15th. On the 16th Harry calls into Grimmy’s show to talk about how Fincham DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A MEMBER OF ONE DIRECTION. Finchy asks Harry when he’s back and Harry says “in a couple of days”. (Small side note here that I don’t think Finchy and Harry are at the level of friends where they keep track of one another’s schedules so the only way Finchy could have known that Harry was heading back out of town to Japan that very day is if Nick told him.)

One Direction in Japan from January 16th to the 20th.

I'm not going to count this as a time they were together because I have no hard evidence, but the night of January 20th Harry was spotted in a grocery store buying wine and Annie Mac mentions on her show that Nick ditched coming over for dinner that evening to have a friend round to his house instead. We assume it was Harry, but w/o actual proof I don't want to say it concretely.

40. January 21, 2013 - Baking for Radio 1! (Tweet confirming the friend was Harry.)

Nick tells this story the morning of the 22nd about how he forgot he had to bake, so he got up from bed, went to the store for supplies, and forgot eggs. So, he texted his friend who was coming over to bring eggs and then Nick baked while his friend yelled at him to add more butter.

41. January 22, 2013 - Watching Great British Bake Off

Do what you will with this one. Obviously there is not definite way to tell if this is Harry or not, but given the evidence of the amount of time they spend together that has been laid forth thus far, I feel comfortable saying those are indeed Harry's legs.

42. January 31, 2013 - Out for Harry's birthday at La Bodega Negra (the same place they celebrated Nick's birthday.)

Nick also went to Groucho Club afterward with Harry and mentioned on his show this morning that he hadn't slept at all. (He was still wearing the same outfit.)

43. February 1, 2013 - Aimee tweets about being in the car with Nick en route to play Laser Quest. (Can't imagine who they might be playing with.)

Nick tweeted this :)

Same anon as the one who asked for your predictions after v6e3, now you’ve caught up, what do you think?

well i had 95% of this written last night and then CLOSED THE WRONG TAB but it’s fine. whatever. fuck.

honestly i need to take back very little of what i said but there’s some new things i’m convinced on. also please keep in mind i’ve seen everything precisely once, i’ve seen it all in the last thirty one days, and in particular watched v6-8 in one week. i’m having a normal one.

format: old prediction, updates, new prediction

the gods are coming back and will be a big part of The Climax. whoo yeah. no new predictions here, the brothers are absolutely coming back.

the final battle won’t be directly rwby vs salem. if anything, rwby vs salem will be the climax of v12. the real final ‘battle’ is not really going to be about strength as much as it is about the power of teamwork and compassion.

(v12 julis?? yeah. v1-3 were in vale, 4-6 were mostly in mistral, and 7-9 in atlas. there is WAY too much happening in v8 for rwby to be ready for a 4v1 even by the end of the next volume, and thematically it doesn’t make sense. i said before and stand by it, the gang also has to go to vacuo, and that’s where the bulk of v10-12 will be. case in point: mercury and tyrian are headed there right now. but there’s gonna be at least 16 volumes, possibly 20. so in 12, the show’s going to pivot again--echoing the pivots that happened in 3 and 6.)

it won’t be 4 small kingdoms surrounded by vast stretches of grimm territory. lmao. for one, atlas is gonna fall. atlas is SOOOO falling, and sooner rather than later. for two, menagerie is going to play a larger role in international politics.

the relics will be brought together, but the outcome will be take a 3rd option. yup yup. not much to say here.

the protag/antag divide isn’t going to continue to be rwby/jnpr/oz/qrow vs salem/team evil/etc. DEFECTION TIME. v8 defections are going to be emerald (to rwby/mantle) and winter (to salem). emerald may or may not be followed by hazel, and i doubt mercury will be content with remaining a sword-for-hire. meanwhile, marrow is defecting to mantle, but i don’t know that he’ll make it by the end of the volume. eventually cinder will defect but wow will it take a while. holy shit girl how many parallels do you need.

team jnpr is going to get a 4th. given the v8 messaging that a united team (rwby) can beat a disunited team (ace ops), and a disunited team can beat a maiden (penny), even though a lot of our older huntspeople are solo fighters, the four person team is going to remain/become a core part of the show. JNPR has to get their 4th back. see here for me being split on oscar vs penny on the 4th.

there will be a happy ending, but it won’t be easy. [...] some or all of the main cast won’t be able to have a normal life. yeah. i honestly don’t know what kind of normal life we’ll be going back to, since i think the grimm won’t survive, but wow, we sure are racking up the traumas.

it is still very super interesting that there’s a relic of creation (atlas, winter) and destruction (vacuo, summer), but also a relic of knowledge (mistral, spring) and choice (vale, fall). are there 4 gods?? did the god of destruction create knowledge and choice as well??? DO WE WANNA TALK ABOUT SOME CHRISTIANITY PARALLELS SOME MORE????? anyway. cool. i’m gonna go absolutely insane. there’s no prediction here i’m just unhinged.

big damn bumblebee kiss. stand by this, but adding in big damn nuts and bolts kiss, but not before some good discussion about relationships. renora will also get their shit together.

oz and qrow dying. ok this i fucked up. qrow WAS the mentor but now he’s the rogue and as such will not be dying uh...soon. if at all?? hard to say, i cannot express how much this is all going to go off the rails by v13 and just turn into enormous hand waving. ozpin will die but not willing to bet on oscar either way. otoh raven is absolutely 100% going to die which leads me to

spring maiden yang. just gonna. yeah i’m doubling down on that one.

this isn’t a prediction so much as more screaming but WHERE IS THE SUMMER MAIDEN. i am absolutely feral about this, what the fuck. we know who the other 3 are but not even a SINGLE HINT ABOUT SUMMER????

summer rose is another kettle of fish, she’s not the summer maiden, but we are very definitely getting more summer backstory. soon. we’re getting it soon. then we’ll decide we actually didn’t want it.

also. is anyone else concerned that we know what each of the relics do except for THE SWORD OF DESTRUCTION. i’m very concerned. what is going on in vacuo. what the hell.
