Timeline of Lewis & Nicole

Disclaimer: this is all taken from various websites but may not be 100% factual, however it is fun and not at all serious. most of this is impossible to fact check (lmk if you can correct smth) so just consider it all alleged for your own peace of mind

2007

Lewis was introduced to Nicole and will.i.am at an afterparty for the MTV Music Awards in Munich

2008

Lewis and Nicole went public about their relationship at the Monaco Grand Prix

2009

Nicole explained to journalists that her and Lewis were great together (and "spiritually aligned") despite the 7 year age gap

"We are very similar and can relate to one another a lot. We are both driven people who are serious about our work, so we are very supportive of the time we do have together."

2011

Nicole's father seemingly confirmed their engagement which the couple had to deny as "misquoted"

"Lewis and I woke up this morning and read we were engaged! Sorry to disappoint u all but its not true:)"

Lewis and Nicole briefly broke up

2013

Rumours surfaced that Lewis was going to propose, again

2 weeks later it was confirmed that the pair had broken up again

Nicole broke down in tears on the X Factor, seemingly about Lewis

She was also rumoured to have had a fling with Harry Styles

Lewis also struggled during this break up

"If you've found that special someone, don't EVER let them go no matter what!!! Nothing in the world is more important..."

Lewis also later dedicated his win in Hungary to Nicole, despite still being separated

He rented out a beach house in California where he apparently cleared the terrace to set up a table for two surrounded by candles and flowers in order to win her back

2014

After getting back together, Lewis was asked if he had proposed to Nicole, which he denied

He also said that he had been receiving pressure from family to propose but he felt they were happy as they were at that moment

He did suggest that he saw marriage as their endgame

2015

Lewis and Nicole split for good with this statement from Nicole

"I’m devastated that it didn’t work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together. I love Lewis and I know he loves me. We wish nothing but happiness and the very best for one another. I’m trying to stay strong in my faith right now.”

Some sources suggested the break up was due to the long distance, like their previous breaks, whilst others said it was due to their differing timelines for marriage

Lewis posted a gushing message about Nicole on her birthday, following the break up, alongside a photo of them as a couple

He was seen out with a mystery blonde a week after the break up announcement and was soon rumoured to be dating Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and more stars

Sources said this was really upsetting Nicole but when she reached out to ask him to tone it down, he responded that he was just letting his (nonexistent) hair down

"Lewis feels he should be able to have friendships with other women without feeling he constantly has to justify himself to her."

2016

Nicole said her and Lewis are not on speaking terms but that she still thinks he's the best driver and wishes him the best

"I think that he is the best driver since Ayrton Senna, and I think that he's probably going to win this year and I only wish him happiness and success."

A glamour model who claimed to have had a relationship with Lewis said he would call Nicole names, say she was unsupportive of his music ambitions, and always talked about wanting threesomes

She also stated that Lewis told her they broke up because he didn't want to marry Nicole yet

Lewis was connected to Rita Ora, Winnie Harlow, and Barbara Palvin this year

Lewis, however, told Ellen DeGeneres that he wasn't dating anybody

"No I’m not. I was in a long-term eight-year relationship, so I’m focused on my racing and trying to win the championship this year. I don’t have any plans [for romance]"

2017

Lewis continued to be linked to Winnie Harlow after more nights out and they were seen getting cosy at a party

He was also briefly linked to Sofia Richie

2018

Lewis arrived at a TommyXLewis launch party with Nicki Minaj and didn't confirm nor deny a relationship, but Nicki stated their was a new man in her life

2019

Lewis hinted busy work schedules and travelling constantly were to blame for the relationship breakdown with Nicole

An intimate clip of Lewis and Nicole from during their relationship was supposedly leaked

Lewis and Nicole also took a photo together so things seemed to have been smoothed over

2020

Nicole started dating Thom Evans after meeting him in 2019 on X Factor: Celebrity

2021

Lewis was rumoured to be dating Camila Kendra and she supposedly posted photos from his Colorado home

2022

Lewis told Vanity Fair that he hasn't been in a serious relationship since Nicole and is focusing on himself

"I really wanted to go through a growth process of getting myself to a point where I'm happy on my own, comfortable in my space. So that if I ever do meet someone, it's an addition, rather than 'I need you in my life'."

2023

Nicole got engaged to Thom Evans

Shortly after articles more strongly linked Lewis to Shakira, although they had been spending time being "fun and flirty" together for a while

https://www.tumblr.com/chevelleneech/760082890025582592/the-fact-that-jm-views-jk-as-his-brother-has-been?source=share

Anon could be right, we'll never know. So I won't even bother providing counter-points about what Jimin has been saying about JK all these years that easily debunk JM possibly seeing him as just his brother.

But this reminded me of the whole Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez story lol. Remember when Justin and Selena became close and the media got so "curious" about the "true" nature of their relationship but they insisted it was nothing but a friendship? Selena was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Ellen obviously pried about her relationship with Justin again and Selena was just so appalled that everyone would think she and Justin have a thing going on and literally said "Oh my god, he's just like a little brother to me!"

A year or two later, she came on the Ellen Show again. They had recently gone public as boyfriend and girlfriend. Ellen was like "so... he's like a brother to you huh?". Selena blushed so hard, she was so embarrassed🤣🤣. I can't remember what her response was, I better go search for that interview again.

And I just wanna say that personally I will never really buy it when someone says they see someone close to them, who they aren't biologically related to, as a sibling, especially if they just have the kind of chemistry Jimin and Jungkook have. Yes, it is very possible to love someone like that. But I'd always choose to take such things with a grain of salt

How many times have celebrities said they see each other as siblings only to go public with a romantic relationship later? Selena and Justin aren't the only ones. And I personally know of people who did see each other as siblings for the longest time only to discover they have/or develop deeper feelings for one another later in life.

Half the time, people say shit they don't mean, or say shit they *did* mean at one point that stopped applying later. People change and evolve, and so do their minds and feelings.

People grab on to the “like a brother to me” thing, because they somehow thinks it’ll eventually make JM and JK real siblings.

People have referred to others as familial then ended up dating them, since the dawn of man. Typically because most people date friends anyway. Of course many don’t, but the point still stands. Referring to someone you’re building a career with and must form a formidable bond with, as a little brother, culturally and colloquially, is normal. Not a single person in the world would think it’s strange that persons A and B might say, “They’re like family to me.” about each other, then go on to date. Not only is it a common occurrence, it’s the back bone of both “childhood friends to lovers” and “best friends to lovers” romance tropes. Realizing The One has been standing by your side the whole time.

The only time it becomes weird, is if the people involved legitimately grow up together and/or are raised as blood or legal siblings. JM and JK did not, though. They met while trying to make the cut for the same boy band. They then both made the cut and went on to become best friends, so close they referred to each other as brothers. Then at some point they realized their feelings went beyond brotherly, and are now dating. Possibly.

Nothing about that is odd, because they’re not related by blood nor foster/adoption. So even if they spend the next decade saying, “Like a brother to me.” while dating other people, then at 40 decide to tell the world they’re dating for the first time, it wouldn’t be a big deal. People date their best friends every day.

Redesigning/Reimagining Hazbin's Characters-1 (Charlie)

I tried y'all, I really did, but I didn't have much to work with. Sorry about the cut off, the shoes did not go as planned.

So- How'd I do? Tell me your thoughts!

(I'll go in depth under the cut)

Okay, so, where to begin..

Well, first, I'll start by stating the obvious.

I don't like Charlie's design. If you like it, fair enough, but it's just not working for me.

There's thr usual problem of- you guessed it- Too. Much. Red.

Red eyes, red background, red details, red clothing, red cheeks, red Bang style, red under sleeves (even though the shirt is supposedly White when you look at the chest area, but then you see around her wrist and it's a dark red for no reason. I'm willing to bet that the animators just forgot which color goes where because the color palette is just red, pink, white, and black. Over and over again.

Next: I get that she's supposed to be bubbly, and happy-go-lucky, all that stuff. But to be honest, I feel like it would be more interesting if she actually wasn't that nice.

I feel like one thing that would be fascinating is the idea that she wants to help people, but she's out of touch. She's one of the most powerful things in Hell after all. She doesn't understand the point of the lower class People. Plus, she's never been out of hell, she doesn't know what Earth is like, or what heaven is like.

I feel like a version of her where she is trying to do good, but is ruthless or harsh in the way she does it, could both be entertaining- and provide character devolopement as she learns how nuanced proper care is.

Also, if she's the second / third most powerful thing in hell, she shouldn't be scared of Alastor. I don't mean that he can't be in the series or anything, I feel like there would still be plenty of uses for him. But with her being a high class royal, and as powerful as she is, she shouldn't need to rely on him for his power or his money for that matter.

I understand the idea that maybe Lucifer Cut Her Off from funding because he basically disowned her or whatever, so maybe funding could be an issue, but even so, she should not be afraid of Alastor.

I like the idea that she intimidated people into going into her hotel so she could "fix" them, not realizing that the fear of her wrath is the only thing keeping people there.

Or maybe the whole hotel thing could be an act of defiance against her father fitting, as "history repeats itself" (referencing Lucifer's defiance of God in biblical lore)

Perhaps she does good things, but isn't all that nice to begin with. But she attempts to be friendly and relatable without understanding how to ACTUALLY relate to or approach others.

How does all of this tie into my design of her?

A few things:

1. Viv said at some point that Charlie was meant to look like a porcelain doll, which... She doesn't look like at all. (I do like her new ponytail. But other than that I don't like the design.)

To me, she just looks like Ellen DeGeneres with long hair and clown makeup.

Don't believe me? Look:

So, I made her more doll-like. But it wasn't enough. It was too simple.

Then, it hit me: in a lot of movies with demons or ghosts, oftentimes a doll gets possessed by said demon/ghost.

I'm not even afraid of dolls personally, but I know a lot of people who are

So What if, Charlie did the same? Maybe her true form is something really scary, so in an attempt to come across as more approachable, she has some sort of doll-like shell? (But, unbeknownst to her, most people are very afraid of dolls. So it does very little to actually help. I think that's some decent comedy potential.

Plus, imagine her having stiff or janky movements, like she doesn't actually fit that well in her body.

It's all appearances

2. The horns.

I actually kind of liked her weird demonic form, at least I liked the horns and the moving hair, but since I decided not to give her a crown, I gave her those weird 4 horns with decorative string tied between them, as a way to make it appear *similar* to a crown. Plus as a reference to the whole 'demonic' thing

I kind of used Sofia from "Harmony and Horror" as a reference. (Btw, great analogue horror series on YouTube, highly recommend it)

3. I did make Charlie's hair a bit darker, but just a little. That was in reference to part of Lucifer's lore, which said that when he fell from heaven, not only did his feathery angel wings burn away into bat wings, but his once golden hair burned into a dark red. So I decided that for Charlie, her hair is darker, but since she's trying to do good, it turns lighter.

But yeah, I'm honestly not sure about her outfit, I'm probably going to experiment with that in the future. But overall I'm okay with how this turned out.

It took me a few times, as you can see here:

It Ends with Us - Book Review

(Spoilers for It Ends With Us, TW for abuse, DV and SA.)

As a writer who likes exploring toxic and abusive relationships (and is careful not to romanticise or fetishize them), and also as a voracious reader who has always avoided Colleen Hoover books out of principle, I decided to finally read ‘It Ends With Us’. Whether to learn something new about how to write unhealthy relationships, or to justify my dislike and learn what not to do, I figured I would get something out of it. I decided to put my biases aside and try to enjoy the book, look for the good and the bad. And I did, find both good and bad in it.

The world’s most unlikable florist:

Lily Blossom Bloom, the florist with naturally lipstick-red lips and seemingly no flaws, who writes letters to Ellen DeGeneres, and opens a flower shop for people who don’t like flowers. The thing I found most interesting about Lily while reading was how unlikable she was for most of the story. As a victim and survivor of abuse she was inspiring and empathetic, but as a character in her own right – the woman – I found her infuriatingly ‘quirky’ in a way that felt forced and made her less relatable to all the women out there looking for a DV survivor character to relate to.

I knew about the line "When he was wiping that cow shit on me, it was quite possibly the most turned-on I have ever been." before reading the book. I'd hoped context would improve it. I was wrong. What context does add, however, is that Lily is writing this down in a letter to Ellen DeGeneres and that it's a completely unnecessary sexual moment in an otherwise very cute and romantic scene. In a book with some beautifully written parts, lines like this remind you that this from the author who wrote “We both laughed at our son’s big balls.”

The love interest who both was and was not:

Atlas is the healthy relationship that could have been, the childhood love rekindled years later. And yet even this relationship, the one promoted by the book as the ‘good’ one, has toxic roots. In Lily's Ellen letters, she reveals that when she and Atlas were together she was fifteen and he was eighteen. During this time he allowed her to make sacrifices for him, sleeps in her bed, and even has sex with her. However I admit, with reluctance, that Atlas grew on me near the end of the book. In the aftermath of her leaving Ryle, he protected and supported her while also respecting the choices she made.

This book is one about abuse, and healing. It is not – despite what the marketing of the movie adaption makes it out to be – a love story. And so, I do appreciate that Atlas is going to play a small role in the story. And yet, the book doesn’t seem to be able to decide how important he is to the plot. In the epilogue the book tries too hard to make us care about their future relationship, when I think I would've preferred to have scrapped the epilogue entirely and instead had a slightly more vague moment during the final chapter that alluded to a possibly of them having a future together. That way, the story could properly close on Lily's iconic moment with Emmy, promising to break the cycle of abuse, and properly fulfilling the main theme of the book.

The cycle of abuse:

A large portion of the earlier chapters are flackbacks in the form of Lily’s old journal entries, and they give us a lot of background into her parents’ abusive relationship. This is an important part of the theme of the book, showing how Lily’s mother stayed with her abuser and Lily, by divorcing Ryle, is ending the cycle of abuse before it can affect her daughter.

There's a flashback scene where Lily walks in on her parents, with SA strongly implied. Later her mother tells her that it's complicated because they're married, and that Lily is too young to understand it. Lily says that she hopes she never will. It's a dark scene, but it’s very well-written and perfectly foreshadows the way that Lily plans to break the cycle of abuse with her own daughter.

The book highlights how abuse comes in a variety of forms; from heartless and cruel people who feel no remorse for their actions like Lily’s father, to otherwise compassionate people who let their feelings turn them into monsters like Ryle. The trouble comes when the book fails to emphasise just how terrible both of those are, and how easily one can become the other. It does do this very briefly near the end, when Lily's mother tells her that her father used to apologise and show remorse for hurting her, but this is not nearly given enough attention.

Some red flags still look red through rose-tinted glasses:

Ryle, the abusive husband, was always going to be a complex character to write. He’s charming, he’s lovable, and so through Lily’s eyes as an unreliable narrator we can understand why she chooses to stay with him. At least, that’s the intention.

The introduction of Ryle left me with mixed feelings. The whole rooftop scene has this bitter, "at least we're fucked-up together" energy to it that I did like, but I wished Ryle was just a bit more likeable at the start. Him attacking the chair was already enough foreshadowing that he could be violent, so him pushing her boundaries by trying to take off her clothes after she said she didn't like one night stands was just one too many red flags in his very first scene. In their second meeting we get the line "I glance back at Ryle and he's still casually stroking my foot." At this stage, I don’t even need to stick around for the abuse to know that the icks are icking. You’ve met her twice, Ryle. Her foot needs bandaging, not caressing.

Every so often, the book would drop a Ryle line that made me yearn for this book’s lost potential. "But for the past week, I haven't been able to get you out of my head. I don't know why. At work, at home. All I can think about is how crazy it feels when I'm near you, and I need you to make it stop, Lily." This line has no right to go as hard as it does, and it genuinely made me want to like Ryle. For the first time, I saw him through the eyes of someone who actually likes him enough to ignore the red flags. And I loved it. The problem is that it made me realise that was the intended effect all along, and it just wasn't done effectively up until now. This is amplified by the, honestly, pathetic way he begs her to sleep with him on the very next page. "I went searching for you because no one in the history of my life has ever crawled under my skin and refused to leave like you did." is such a fantastic line, and if the book was consistent in trying to make me like Ryle then it would be even more effective.

The first time Ryle hits Lily is an interesting scene. It has so much potential and some of the lines ("my tears, my heart, my laughter, my soul. Shattered like broken glass, raining down around me") are beautifully written. But herein lies the biggest issue I have with this book. Lily, as an unreliable narrator, is romanticising her own abuse. Which, unfortunately, is a pretty realistic way to cope with it. But she goes from feeling horrified to having sex with him (yes, this is a sex scene. A sex scene which is presented as a positive experience through Lily's perspective) in a matter of minutes. The next day Ryle uses the exact same lie as Lily's father used to ("she slipped"). I love the symmetry of it reflecting on her parents’ relationship, but it does make me wonder why Lily is so blasé about him lying. Even with her decision to confirm his lie, she was definitely not conflicted enough about this. Especially considering how recently before this she had read her own childhood diary entries about this exact lie.

Lily forgives Ryle for hurting her because she believes there's no such thing as a bad person, just people who do bad things. And I do like how they've given Ryle a complexity to his abuse, not just made him a heartless monster. And I’m willing to overlook Lily's decision to stay with him, because that's sadly common for victims to do. But what I don't like is how the story itself seems to be trying to justify his actions with a sad backstory that should not excuse his abuse.

I knew that there was an SA scene before I started this book, and I was expecting it to be the chapter that most romanticized Ryle's abuse. But I have to admit, it was well written. My heart was in my throat the entire time, and despite Lily's biased POV still coming into play it didn't feel like the book itself was trying to justify his actions. There's a beautiful scene where Lily finally confronts Ryle and finally, out loud, states that nothing she did gave him the right to hurt her. She tells him she wishes the baby wasn't his. It's a fantastic moment of empowerment. And there's a point where they kiss, and I was so scared it was going to turn into another badly-timed sex scene. But Lily actually holds her own and stops him.

At the end of the story, Lily holds her baby girl in her arms and knows, finally, that she wants a divorce. Ryle tries to beg her to reconsider, and she asks him how he'd feel if his new daughter were to someday be abused. In that moment, Ryle realises that he would want his daughter to leave her abuser, even if they truly loved each other. And by extension, he realises the same for his own relationship. In a callback to what Lily's mother told her earlier in the book, Ryle does the only truly loving thing he can do for Lily and leaves her. This character redemption is perhaps more than he deserved, and I do think he was forgiven for his awful acts far too quickly. But it gives hope that maybe he'll be a better father than a husband.

Conclusion:

I went into this book with expectations lower than the pits of hell, and came away pleasantly surprised. And yet, this book is still messy and doesn’t always get it right. Abuse and DV are sensitive subjects, and there’s a fine line between showing the way victims’ judgement can be clouded by love and just romanticising the pain abusers can cause. This book spends its entire plot zigzagging across that line. This review is, in a way, a love letter to the lost potential of this book, the beautiful story of love and pain that could have been with just a few extra rewrites.

I am also dead tired. I am back on my transcription bullshit, so that’s what I did today. I was making progress with Ljubim te last week but now it is thesis o’clock. Two weeks ago, when I also didn’t have anything fic-related to show, I shared a list of all the different entertainment media that my respondents mentioned. An update is under the cut. It amuses me a lot, and I have some new things to watch, so maybe y’all will find your next favourite show or film as well.

Disney's upcoming movie releases

Disney is releasing many movies in cinemas and on the Disney+ streaming service. Family-friendly prequels and live-action remakes of cherished cartoon masterpieces are also included. The business adjusted its release calendar for future movies from its different studios this week. To view every title coming out in 2019, scroll down!

The Little Mermaid will be remade in live-action by Disney and released in theaters the following year. The movie, which stars Halle Bailey (The Color Purple, Grown-ish), tells the tale of Ariel, a mermaid princess who strikes a bargain with a sea witch to transform into a human so she may experience life on land and fall in love.

Jonah Hauer-King plays Prince Eric in the movie, while Melissa McCarthy, who starred in Bridesmaids, plays Ursula. Oscar winner Javier Bardem plays King Triton, Daveed Diggs plays Sebastian in Hamilton, Jacob Tremblay plays Flounder in Room, and Awkwafina, the breakthrough star of Crazy Rich Asians, plays Scuttle.

Based on the adored animation classic, Aladdin will soon be a live-action film. Guy Ritchie is the director, Mena Massoud plays Aladdin, and Naomi Scott plays Jasmine. In this rough retelling of the Arabian Nights, Aladdin encounters Princess Jasmine and discovers a magic lamp (Naomi Scott). He only fully sees his value once she unintentionally releases a giant genie.

Emily Ratajkowski Calls Out Sexism in Resurfaced Taylor Swift Interview Ten years after its air date, an old Taylor Swift interview on Ellen resurfaced and brought with it a reminder of the longstanding sexism in the music industry. A clip resurfaced on TikTok of the original 2013 Ellen segment next to a 2020 Zane Lowe interview where Swift alludes to the incident. In the original interview filmed during the throes of Taylor Swift’s Red era — a nostalgic time filled with fedora hats, sincerely adorned suspenders and the overarching media narrative that Taylor Swift was boy crazy — host Ellen DeGeneres asked Swift to play a game of "Ring the Bell if You See an Ex Boyfriend."Related | Bella Thorne Blasts Director Who Said She Flirted With Him at Age 10Swift tries to decline the prompt to play several times but DeGeneres carries on, rolling through a Rolodex of photos of Swift beside famed heartthrobs like Taylor Lautner and John Mayer, some of whom were Swift’s former lovers, and others who she just took a photo with. The “joke” was that Swift would ring the bell placed beside her each time DeGeneres landed on an ex-beau.An embarrassed Swift mutters, “I don’t know if I’m gonna do this,” as the photos flash onscreen, and she gets more uncomfortable throughout the duration of the deranged slideshow. As Ratajkowski put it, “She’s literally begging her to stop.” \u201chttps://t.co/AwrODcuFTW\u201d — v (@v) 1673206362 While Ratajkowski’s anger brought a new light to the original clip, the TikTok she responded to also shows Swift’s disdain for the game. In a 2020 Zane Lowe Apple Music 1 interview, Swift speaks back to her 2013 media persona: “When I was like, 23, people were just kind of reducing me to… kind of making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I’d sat next to at a party once and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick rather than a skill and a craft.” This certainly wasn’t the first time Swift has faced a sexist interviewer and likely won’t be the last, but she’s always armed with a quick-witted response and a league of supermodel anti-sexism crusaders (like Emrata).

Ellen’s new Netflix special will be her last comedy special ever, she says

Ellen DeGeneres’ allegedly last-ever comedy special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, finally has a release date. September 24th. The special will address how DeGeneres was canceled in Hollywood after accusations about her beloved talk show came out, accusing her of creating a hostile workplace for her staff. Related “Mean, old & gay” Ellen DeGeneres is still bitter years after ending her show “I just thought, ‘Well, this is not the way I wanted to end my career, but this is the way it’s ending.’” DeGeneres previously released a statement on Instagram, saying, “To answer the questions everyone is asking me – Yes, I’m going to talk about it. Yes this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life.” Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today The logline reads “For the first time in six years, Ellen DeGeneres returns to the stage in her new comedy special Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval.” “The final comedy special of her historic career, Ellen gets personal and reveals what she’s been doing since being ‘kicked out of show business.’ From the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh reality of becoming a brand-name celebrity, she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings the laughs through life’s most real and absurd realities,” it says. In 2020, staffers told Buzzfeed News that The Ellen Degeneres Show, known for the host’s seemingly constant positivity and “be kind” catchphrase, was actually a toxic work environment, and alleged racist comments and sexual misconduct. The report led to an internal investigation in which three producers were fired and DeGeneres publically apologized to staff. It also led to the show losing almost half of its viewers. In April of this year, she reflected on the cancellation (both of herself and her show), saying, “Eventually, they’re going to kick me out for a third time because I’m mean, old, and gay. It’s been such a toll on my ego and my self-esteem.” DeGeneres announced that she was leaving her show in May 2022, saying that her show was not “creatively challenging” enough anymore. At one of her standup performances, she told the crowd, “I got kicked out of show business for being mean.” Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval is set to come out on September 24th on Netflix. http://dlvr.it/TCrwls
