BYCHANCE ... foreshadowed since S1EP1?

Let's assume, just ✨ for fun✨ , that the answer to that question is 'yes'. And that I'm SOMEWHAT within the ballpark with my Bychance speculative timeline.

S1EP1

We know the scene between Hopper and Joyce, when she goes to report Will missing, is one of the most ✨ iconic ✨ ones in the show. Bylers noticed ages ago ( wish I could find their names fr but it was so long ago ugh so if anyone knows who first brought this up, please I need them ) that it also seems to include some type of FORESHADOWING for Vecna. Added to this, during ST day in I think it was 2023, this episode was played on a loop for, what? An entire day? I noticed the phrase "I told you a million times" was used at least twice throughout the episode ( By Dustin + Bully and Joyce + Jonathan ).

Call me crazy but I think the Duffers/Netflix wanted us to notice that. So let's review the scene in question, and then I'll give you my conclusions.

Jonathan: "Will's probably at the Byers" -- wrong Hopper: "Will's probably playing hookie" -- wrong Dustin: "He's probably just early for school" -- wrong

Everything that seems 'probable' to the characters ends up being WRONG in this episode.

"Probably" = probabilities. Odds ... Synonym for odds? Chances.

"Chances are Will is playing hookie." <- S1 Hopper is ✨ correct ✨, bc this is true ... but for S5 Will, not S1 Will.

I think this way bc this is also the scene where we're told Will is queer. He's also talking about screwing Chrissy Carpenter in the back of his oldsmobile aka CAR. Which reminded me of what Steve said to Nancy earlier, in the same episode.

We know based off of what happened in Nancy's room that Steve wanted to ✨ get cozy with Nancy ✨and do anything but study.

This is also the scene where our attention is brought to Will's clothes. @offsidetracked made a BRILLIANT post about that, definitely recommend giving that a read before continuing this one.

I will also add this:

Will's S5 hair looks ... messier than previous seasons. He really is in his ✨ messy, Bychance era ✨ hm? @nymphus-fan-account also made the great observation that Chance's hairstyle looks like Steve's. And with all of the attention brought to Steve ... plus Chance's association to cars which @cypherheartnokey has talked about before ...

I'm not saying 'oh yeah, this is Bychance proof', I'm just asking ... do you think it could be?

Hi. I am obsessed with your user name and icon! Do you think knowing Carlos will change Campbell's stance on the job and on his marriage?

First off, thank you so much Michelle (both for the kind compliments and the excuse for me to write an essay about my beloved blorbo)!!!

The short answer is yes.

But as THE Ranger Soup blog, i feel I'm morally and legally obligated to give a long answer, so here is my essay:

In actual canon (not canon to me) we know a handful of things (but not nearly enough things if you ask me). Here are the facts: Soup buys the same flowers for his wife for every special occasion. Soup states that his wife quote "gets it." and elaborates that she gets that there are more important things for him to use his brain power on than giving her actual thoughtful gifts. This, to me, almost insinuates a little bit of an unbalance in his work-life balance. But the caveat to this is, that we also know for a fact that he absolutely loves his family and thinks having kids is the greatest thing in the world (otherwise he wouldn't have four of them!) AND he'll play hooky from work to go to his kid's birthday party which insinuates the opposite, that he values being there for special moments with his family over work. We also know for a fact that Ashlyn is extremely loyal to her husband and has absolute faith in him (if she didn't, she would've told Carlos and Bridges about the house in Mexico right off the bat, but instead she risked going to prison rather than betraying her husband).

So with this in mind, I think Ashlyn truly is understanding and does quote "get it" and doesn't put pressure on him to make big grand gestures, and he does other things that count for a lot more (showing up for things involving the kids even when he's supposed to be at work) and to me, him being there for things like that is more important to her than him getting her nice things for anniversaries and what not. And how I think all of this equates in his straight man brain is: oh she gets it and doesn't pester me, therefore flowers are fine. I don't need to put in a bunch of effort. I'm doing great. *double thumbs up*

But now to get to the "yes" of it all. I think that working with Carlos "I'm going to buy a loft for my boyfriend" Reyes, the actual king of romantic gestures, will be a very eye-opening for Soup. I think seeing the effort Carlos puts forth into showing his deep appreciation for his husband will make Soup stop and think and reflect a little bit. And ultimately go from "She gets it and gives me grace therefore i don't need to be going all out." to "She gets it and gives me grace, therefore I should be going all out to show her how much appreciate her and her understanding. And I should be doing a better job of making sure she knows how important she is to me."

Does that answer the question?

"Gothic metal’s crown isn’t going anywhere anytime soon." Lacuna Coil go heavier than ever on Sleepless Empire with help from guests Ash Costello and Randy Blythe

After rediscovering their spark on 2019's Black Anima, Lacuna Coil are going harder and heavier than ever

(Image: © CUNENE)

Lacuna Coil's latter-day career has been an exercise in resilience and reinvention. After a mid-career wobble, where albums like Shallow Life missed their earlier spark, the Italian gothic metal icons came storming back with Black Anima. Their heaviest album to date, it was dark, uncompromising and full of bite, reminding the world why Lacuna Coil have always been more than just scene staples.

Now, with Sleepless Empire, they’ve gone even heavier, delivering an album packed with bone-crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and the kind of unrelenting energy that feels fresh yet unmistakably theirs.

The Siege crashes in with dense riffs and primal energy. Andrea Ferro’s guttural growls anchor the chaos, while Cristina Scabbia’s soaring lines slice through the mix with surgical precision. Oxygen and Scarecrow follow, their djent-inspired grooves and subtle synth layers adding depth without dulling the aggression. Scarecrow in particular is hypnotic, balancing weight and atmosphere to draw you further into the album’s microcosm.

Lacuna Coil excel in making the heavy sound hooky. Gravity is brooding and dark, but its anthemic chorus feels tailor-made for festival pits. On the crushing, groove-laden In The Mean Time, featuring New Years Day’s Ash Costello, Cristina’s fiery chorus provides the perfect counterpoint to Ash’s fierce delivery.

Marco Coti Zelati leaves an indelible mark on Sleepless Empire. Not only do his crushing riffs and bass form the backbone of its sound, his layered synths and sharp production tie everything together. The sonic palette balances raw intensity with rich textures – a hallmark of Lacuna Coil’s modern era.

Andrea’s vocal performance deserves its own spotlight. His career-spanning adaptability as a vocalist shines here, as his growls reach new depths of intensity. Relentless, raw and commanding, he’s the perfect counterpart to the album’s crushing weight, his brutal, gutteral vocals meeting the sonic swell head-on. It’s a standout showing that cements his role in the band’s harder-hitting direction.

Not everything lands perfectly. Hosting The Shadow, featuring Randy Blythe, feels more like a showcase for the Lamb Of God frontman than a cohesive Lacuna Coil track. But even here, the explosive chorus reminds you why the band still dominate. Ironically, the title track channels LOG’s energy even better, evoking the pummelling intensity of 512.

Elsewhere, I Wish You Were Dead leans into sleazy 80s glam rock swagger, while In Nomine Patris delivers all-out stadium grandeur. Cristina’s triumphant cry of ‘I’ll build my empire’ is pure gothic metal theatre, and the shredding guitar solo that follows is a chef’s kiss moment. Sleep Paralysis, with its eerie atmospherics and Andrea’s unrelenting force, leaves another lasting impression.

With Sleepless Empire, Lacuna Coil dive headfirst into their heavier side – and it works. This is a band that’s unafraid to evolve, to experiment and to hit hard. Gothic metal’s crown isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Sleepless Empire is out February 14 via Century Media. The band play Bloodstock Festival in August and tour the UK in November. For the full list of tour dates visit the band's official website.

One big fact for my BD/BadGuys au for the day

This isn’t a headcanon I usually have, but after seeing other people having it and reading several fanfics about it, I’m much more interested in it that it’s in my BD/BadGuys au.

Wolf is a trans man here, at least in this au. He’s more open about it with his friends now, but when they first started being the bad guys, he hid the fact that he was afab and tried to convince them that he was a cis man(and he didn’t have top surgery yet, because what doctor is going to willingly do chest surgery for a criminal) and gets especially nervous when his on his period or heat.

Remember the post I made a bit back where I mentioned that Wolf is Secretly a big fan of the banana spilts, but the other gang members already knew but stayed silent because they didn’t think it was a big deal? A similar thing happens here, but reasoning for not saying that they knew was because being a fan of something “kiddy” and being trans, are two wildly different scenarios, and they understand that Wolfie has to do be the one who admits it and be comfortable with, instead of one of them outing him against his will. The only person who DID out Wolf against his will was Piranha, but that was less out of malicious and more of he wasn’t even aware that Wolf was trying to make it a secret.

Wolf got “outed” 10 years ago when the guys were robbing a bank, and Piranha did a prank on Wolf(remember the end of the SpongeBob episode “hooky” when Krabs and Squidward taught SpongeBob a lesson on not playing with hooks by having one strip him naked in public?) while Piranha’s prank was similar to that, and while stripping Wolf naked wasn’t part of the plan, that still happened and Wolf got his “less than manly” chest and groin revealed to the public, he got so embarrassed, especially since his only friends saw his secret and thought they were going to react negatively about it, that he ran and drove back to their hideout, leaving everyone else behind.

When Snake, Shark, Webs, and Piranha, came back, and saw poor Wolfie hiding in his bed covering himself in several blankets and pillows in shame, murmuring that his career and reputation is ruined and embarrassed on how to tell everyone that he’s a trans man. Everyone(mostly Snake) then tells him that they already figured it out and even gave him a new binder and outfit to replaced the ones that got ruined in the prank as a way to show their completely accepting of Wolfie’s identity. Bonus points, the outfit in question is his iconic white/cream suit that he always wears, and while he stops wearing a binder after webs found some skeletons in the closet from a doctor and used it to blackmail him to do top surgery for Wolf, he still wears the suit(obviously) since it essentially represents how they accept his trans identity.

Bonus

No, Piranha didn’t get away with his prank, he still embarrassed and outed Wolf against his will, and he even had the gall to ask Wolfie if he can see and grope his breasts, right after giving him the new outfit, Wolfie decided to strip him naked and leave him outside for the rest of the night(might be overkill, but can you really blame him?).

Friday, March 21: Accept, "X-T-C"

Of course Eat the Heat was going to go down in infamy.  For starters, there was the album’s title, which was awkward even by Accept standards, and that was before we got into the notion that one of Germany’s most pulverizing bands replaced their iconic frontman with an American Axl Rose wannabe in an attempt to jump on the hair metal bandwagon.  So from the start this album was absurd even for Accept, and then it had the nerve to open with something called “X-T-C”.  If there was no small amount of unintentional hilarity during the Udo Dirkschneider years, being subjected to David Reece’s screeching over Wolf Hoffmann’s and Peter Baltes’ gang vocal choir and Baltes and Stefan Kaufmann’s clockwork precise groove was a new level of ludicrousness.  Somehow, in their attempt at commerciality Accept managed to sound even more insane.  But even here, there was an unerring logic in the band’s approach, as everything fit seamlessly and that groove was monster.  And Reece’s caterwaul sort of made sense during the verses, though the chorus was inexcusable.  Again, one couldn’t help but laugh at this nonsense, but even at their most ridiculous Accept somehow still knew how to deliver a hooky headbanger.

Horror Movie of the day: Dracula (1931)

The 1897 Bram Stoker's novel, a well known literary classic: the nefarious vampire who comes from beyond the Carpathians to take over England by settling in Cairfax Abbey, London. A blood eating fiend who is drawn in by the virginal Mina Murray, to then be confronted by her fiancé Jonthan Harker and Dr. Abraham Van Helsing. So when Tod Browning was hired to adapt it to the silver screen, from its theatre adaptation nonetheless, the end result became transformative in the world of cinema… forever.

Now, it's easy for modern audiences to be desensitized to its lack of violence and campy theatrics, with a performance from Bela Lugosi as the count that has been parodied to death and then some. And yet, over 90 years after it was seen for the first time it's still considered as THE iconic interpretation of the vampire upon which Halloween costumes are based on and from which many lines not found in the novel are imitated. Why is that? The key word is charisma.

Behind the obvious camp, there's something performative if not outright uncanny about the count. Yes, a 6 feet tall vampire who is always staring and cups the sky in his hand like a poorly directed Shakespeare villain can come across as a tad goofy, but he thoroughly sticks out and it's hard to look everywhere else when someone acts so strangely and somehow makes everyone start following his pace, simultaneously a relic of the time yet still captivating, magnetic even.

A pragmatic adaptation that simplifies the story (cutting out Lucy Westenra's suitors entirely, cutting Jonathan's trip Trannsylvania out) this film keeps most of the essentials about the book while optimizing the screen time, while changing the angle to emphasize the rivalry between Dracula and Van Helsing. The end result is moody and atmospheric, with some admittedly hooky effects but hitting just right at many moments.

It's only natural for a movie still worth watching.

Yes, I emphasized Lugosi's performance during the main body of review, but that was honestly warranted: a movie named after its antagonist lives or dies by that performance specifically, and the classically trained Hungarian honestly knocked it out of the park to the point he codified what vampires look like for decades, only horror film legend Cristopher Lee ever coming remotely close to the same leve of iconicity. But reducing the movie's success to JUST Legosi's performance is undermining the effort of the rest of the cast, with Edward Van Sloan's performance as Abraham van Helsing playing a great foil to the count, or Dwight Frye's compelling range as Renfield really selling the madness and tragedy of his character.

But above all, Tod Browning's directorial achievements in what was effectively a new field.

Sure, horror films existed before this one, so did Dracula adaptations even. But this movie had a challenge past ones didn't have to deal with: making horror work with sound. An herculean task he understood better than some people might give him credit for; while archaic to modern eyes with it's nigh total absence of music (including the now awkward use of Tchaikovsky's Swan's Lake as the opening credits theme), finding things like the sound creaking doors used to build tension THIS early in cinema history isn't as self explanatory as it might seem. It required an intuition as to how the soundscape of a situation instinctively affects the emotional state of the viewer.

That isn't to mention that for how shoddy those bats on strings look, the atmosphere of the film still manages to hit the mark. Even fairly goofy facial expressions can be rendered creepy under the right lighting conditions.

But then, there's some other matters about this film, like how the changes to the book have affected the perception of many characters (hitting Mina the hardest by making her JUST the damsel in distress), the fact Lugosi was not the first choice for Dracula and had to fight for it(showing that even back then you had an internal politics conflict in Hollywood), or the existence of a score which was added in later releases and adds to the film's atmosphere.

...or the fact it's actually TWO separate films from from the same script.

As dubbing and putting subtitles to films wasn't a common practice during the 30's, to export this movie to other markets a completely separate version in a different language would have to be made for each. And since Mexico is the immediate neighboring country, a Spanish version was shot at nights on the same sets as the English one, helmed by George Melford.

The end result is a very similar yet also decidedly different movie, lasting over half an hour more, addressing plot points that are either glossed over or shortly talked about, and having more ambitious cinematography, but with acting that doesn't quite match the overall level seen in Brown's effort. Specially poor Carlos Villarias, who was mandated to imitate Lugosi as close as possible and wasn't allowed to make the character his own, remembered only as a pale imitation of the so called original.

Still, a window into two different takes from the same script is a rarity in the world of cinema and well worth looking into.

Under the striking glass vaults of the Grand Palais in Paris, world leaders and tech titans gathered for a two-day summit dedicated to artificial intelligence. The heart of the event space, tucked in between the Seine and the iconic Champs-Élysées, was organised like an exhibition hall packed with dozens of stands showcasing the various ways AI can be used.

Climbing up the stairs in the building’s majestic nave, a display of flags decorated the railing, boasting the different nationalities taking part in the summit. At the top, a handful of key players gathered on Monday afternoon in the VIP lounge to discuss the impact AI could have on democracies.

But a few VIPs were missing. Representatives from some of the most influential companies in the sector including Open AI, Google and Microsoft played hooky.

Their absences were criticised by Meredith Whittaker, president of the end-to-end encrypted messaging app Signal who worked at Google for over a decade and helped organise mass walkouts, partly fuelled by the company’s handling of AI ethics, before resigning in July 2019.

“The large-scale approach to AI is damaging [societies],” she said.  

Security threats

“AI has profound consequences on our private lives,” Whittaker continued. To illustrate her point, Whittaker referred to the handful of telecoms companies in the US including Verizon and AT&T who fell victim to a sweeping Chinese-linked espionage operation known as Salt Typhoon in December last year. A vast amount of US users had their metadata taken as a result, and officials associated with both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s campaign ahead of the November presidential elections were targeted.

“From a security standpoint, what happened was a disaster. And it was made possible by backdoors [programmes that allow hackers to access a computer system or encrypted data remotely] being installed by authorities who were meant to be the only ones to access them,” the Signal president explained.

For Whittaker, AI was “born from the business model of surveillance”. And when it comes to hacking, “data can be used as a weapon” against US democracy.

The threat is undeniable for Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics, who shares Whittaker’s views. Rinkevics explained how, “due to the geopolitical and geographical situation” of his country, “Latvia has been exposed to cyber-attacks and disinformation campaigns” in recent years. With Russia as its neighbour, Latvia and the other Baltic countries Estonia and Lithuania bore the brunt of cyber-attacks in recent years. EU member states have repeatedly been the target of Russian cyber-attacks in 2024.

Before he went into detail about the specific threats Latvia faces, Rinkevics stressed that “the priority is to protect critical infrastructure and monitor the situation in the Baltic Sea", where several undersea telecoms, power and data cables were sabotaged in recent months.

“With regards to democracy, AI has been used to meddle in elections, especially in Romania,” Rinkevics added. “In Latvia, we passed a law that requires [all content created by] AI to be labelled” so that people can identify when it has been used. Rather than being wary of the technology, Rinkevics believes “we need more expertise to understand exactly where cyber-attacks come from and how to better protect our democracies".

In a leap of faith, Latvia signed an agreement with Microsoft in December last year to develop a National Center for Artificial Intelligence. Its aims include promoting AI and other digital solutions to modernise the country’s administrative processes.

Need for global AI safeguards

From eerily accurate deep-fakes to social media accounts usurped by scammers for money, artificial intelligence has many faces. And that is partly why it is such a threat to democracies. “AI can make it easier to carry out cyber-attacks, which have become more sophisticated now that tools generating complex code can be used to this end,” warned Marie-Laure Denis, President of the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL).

Denis believes that solutions to protect democracies should stem from a diverse range of safeguards, starting with the general data protection regulation (GDPR), implemented in the EU since 2018 that sets out guidelines on how to collect and process personal information from people both within and outside of the continent. “We should develop a trusted AI tool to strengthen the protection of our rights,” she added. “Without guarantees, we can’t have trust. And without trust, we can’t develop AI in the long-run.”

But when it comes to AI and democracy, not all countries feel equally included in the conversation on regulations. Pakistani lawyer and online rights activist Nighat Dad intervened to point out global disparities. “Are our exchanges at this roundtable democratic? Are we talking about the whole world or just the democracies of the Global North?” Dad asked. She founded the Digital Rights Foundation in 2012, an NGO focused on protecting human rights defenders in digital spaces. “Moving forward without diverse voices is unimaginable. All democracies must be able to express themselves.”

Mathias Cormann, secretary-general of the OECD, echoed Dad’s remarks when he spoke of the need for “more effective international cooperation on AI”.

“We need a generalised governance framework to help us develop safe AI,” he said. “But right now, we are a long way from that.”

“At this stage, we don’t know exactly where we’re headed when it comes to AI,” Latvian President Rinkevics concluded. “The priority for companies is to reap the benefits [of AI]. And the priority for countries is likely a little different. But in any case, we are a long way from having a global AI agreement.”

Omg so. The author of "Marionetta" made a story called "Hooky" years ago and these poor kids who missed their bus to magic school think that when their aunt told the huntsman to steal Snow White's heart she meant "make her fall in love with him" when that is not the case.

Also the makeover they gave him was like the beast transformation in Beauty and the Beast. At first he looked like a nice rugged woodchopper and then they clean shaved him and gave him a rose and now he looks like a babyfaced sad pretty boy who doesn't know what to do with his life. Both look nice but it's not the same.

Also when I first saw the scene where the aunt gave that order, I thought the kids picked up what the aunt was putting down and just didn't care about the fact that she wanted to steal a woman's organs, just that she called them "annoying" behind their backs and decided to steal her heart first out of spite.

I was wondering why the girl in the icon looked so serious and traumatized in comparison to the main girl who looked so happy-go-lucky. I thought this was going to be silly adventures about two siblings who are trying to find a mentor to teach them magic since they missed their bus to magic school.

I probably should have guessed otherwise when the aunt said she was going to specifically teach them BLACK MAGIC because they lied and said their parents wanted them to learn from her. Who basically has her own legion of followers. And lives in a dark castle. And looks like a vampire queen. And has a giant dog. About the size of Cerberus.

Sidenote: I never noticed that at the top of the ask says YOUR blog name and not mine and then when I flip the anonymous switch it switches YOUR icon to anonymous. That seems confusing. I feel like I accidentally logged onto your blog instead if mine. Hopefully it shows it's my blog.

Oooh wow- thats such an innocent mistake oh no 😭

Ill be sooo honest, I was not a fan of the Beast’s transformation. He went a beautiful rugged bear to a clean shave little prince. I wish they at least gave him a beard and darker hair, you know? Stay more true to the original Beast

Also, thats really weird ??? It definitely says your name so I have no idea whats going on. Itd be wild if you somehow got into my account, thats so confusing 😭

[explosionshark]

Second stage turbine blade bc that’s the only one whose title I remember off the top of my head

The best song on the album: "Everything Evil" it's a career best song, it's so fucking fun to sing live. doing this ask game has helped me pinpoint some of my own tastes wrt coheed songs and reliably i like the ones that are weird epic sagas with multiple distinct subsections and a huge build up AND the short, melodic pop tunes. this is definitely the former. i think this is claudio's best vocal work on this album. the outro is fucking perfect. absolutely my favorite song ever about filicide via hammers. god i fucking hate this band. My favorite song on the album: legitimately agonized over this but if i'm not picking EE then i'm gonna pick "time consumer" - BEAUTIFUL SONG. MARIA MY STARRRR MATTHEW GOODNIIIIIGHT just a huge fucking chorus. for better or for worse it's perfectly placed in the coheed discog as the first song on the first LP - hooky, lyrically abhorrent, headbangable. absolutely my favorite song about filicide via poison. i really really fucking hate this band My least favorite song on the album: "devil in jersey city" it's gross lmao it's PEAK claudio being weird about women and it's why the band as a vehicle for narrative storytelling inevitably fails for me bc like. why the fuck would you do that. unfortunately it's also why the band as a vehicle for Sick Fuckin Riffz succeeds for me bc it's a no-skip, frequently repeated track for me. duality of coheed The most overrated song on the album: for the first time i'm not picking anything i can't do it these songs are my best friends Most underrated: "junesong provision" going off the best song bracket on reddit a while back, i think this was the lowest rated non-intro SSTB songs which is NUTS to me bc i love it to death. iconic (though stupid) opening line, fun progression, neat little outro - what's not to love? The banger of all bangers: "hearshot kid disaster" which is funny bc i always liked it but for some reason when i got back into SSTB HARD in august it was this song i was the most obsessed with. again, i love what mic and josh bring to the track, it's also got that quintissential singalongable coheed chorus that makes you feel so sosososo stupid for loving it (I NEED MAAAAYOOOO). going to cheat and tack "33" onto this bc the one-two punch of these bad boys together right in the middle of the album is SO essential to the flow Rate from 0-10: 0/10 no one listen to coheed

18 and 4 for the end of year asks :)

ty ty!!

18 - memorable meal this year

i'm sure there's so many good meals i'm forgetting but the first i'm thinking of is i made my mom's recipe for gazpacho twice this summer and it was sooo yummy!! and as a single person lasted me several meals. i don't cook all that much but def have a goal to make more of my mom's recipes bc nostalgia

4 - movie of the year

famously i am terrible at sitting to watch a movie by myself unless it's a hallmark movie i can half pay attention to. however i DID see some flicks this year and oh look i made a list for the first time this year so i can actually remember!

my faves of 2024 releases -

-challengers (they were all so in love and so stupid and tragic about it <3)

-wicked (i was waiting for this movie since i was literally 10 years old and god it was worth the wait i won't hear anything negative)

-the fall guy (that shit was fun as hell i LOOOOVE stunts)

-monkey man (saw this alone in theaters playing hooky from work after a drs appt and dear god what a film. so thrilling so intense dev patel is an icon)

and extra shout out to poor things from 2023 that i watched this year. and also my x-men rewatch from x-men 1 to apocalypse, idc that those movies are bad i love them <3

Time to Judge Leighton Whitlock

My favorite part of the day is here and it is time to judge Ms. Leighton Whitlock!

We all saw what she put up today and if you didn’t, then fret not because I am here to share them with you!

If you want a peak at her day, you can click here, here, and, here

For Leighton's first post.... is that an athlete or a gym goddess?! Hold on to your protein shakes, because Leighton Whitlock is back at it, breaking hearts and sweat at Red Edge, California! If this is what a "day in the life" looks like for Leighton, sign us up for some cardio ASAP! In a whirlwind of muscle tees, shorts, and "just-woke-up-like-this" hair, Leighton gave everyone a masterclass in looking both exhausted and gorgeous at the same time. Can anyone else pull off the “I just crushed this workout but also kinda forgot to sleep last night” look like this queen? Now onto her second part of her day, Breaking News: Leighton Whitlock Bakes, Slays, and Serves… Cookies! Fashionistas, brace yourselves! Our favorite Red Edge darling, Leighton Whitlock, has traded her usual gym glam for oven mitts and apron realness, and honestly? We are living for it! Spotted in the kitchen, whipping up some cookies that, let's be real, probably taste like sweet, sugary perfection, Leighton gave us the ultimate "Betty Crocker but make it fashion" moment. In a pink skirt and coordinating kitchen accessories (because of course she matches her mixer!), this baking queen is proving you can serve looks while serving…well, actual cookies. Can we talk about those gloves though? Hot pink with a side of “don’t mess with me, these cookies are serious business." Forget the runway, it's all about the ovenway today. Who knew culinary couture was a thing? Well, Leighton apparently did! So, did she spend the day relaxing or playing hooky? Either way, we hope her next endeavor is a cookie giveaway because, let's face it, the entire internet is now craving a taste of those iconic treats. And finally her last post...Leighton Whitlock just dropped her late-night bomb: her bestie Jack is in town, and he's here to shake things up! Rocking those classic “geek-chic” vibes with glasses that scream "I'm cooler than you," Jack declared his top-tier friendship status. Leighton, ever the queen of multitasking, managed to look adorable while sipping on what we can only assume is her signature drink.

Not a bad day in your life Leigh. Looking forward to more craziness from you soon

xoxo
