[MY WISHMAKER Spoilers!]

.

.

.

.

.

I just played MY WISHMAKER last night and I loved it, so I wanted to give you my thoughts!

Arcade, you are SO SNEAKY AND CLEVER!!! I saw those promo images and was like "oh dear, he has a gunshot wound, what happened?" only to boot up the game and find out HIS WHOLE ARM WAS MISSING! You really can't tell when he's facing right, so I applaud you for hiding it so well.

I LOVE how sassy The Wishmaker is! I was expecting it/them(? I'll just go with them for now) to be kind of highfalutin and regal 'cause they're a deity and all but I really love how you went in this completely other direction! I think it does make sense since The Wishmaker obviously has to, like, grant people's wishes (in some way at least), so having a more casual manner of speech would probably make them less intimidated.

Also! I loved how you implemented the QTEs! I feel like it spices up the gameplay and is a nice little nod to your fans who played My Neighbor Enide. Even though I messed up all of them, though I SWEAR the Vas one was not my fault! I was mashing that Z button for dear life, but my laptop decided to type it into Edge for some reason!? I didn't even have it open!

Oh, and I see you were able to figure out the mouse movement? You said you'd have to move around using the arrow keys, which I was fine with, but I was pleasantly surprised when I booted up the game and I could move with the mouse too! It really completed the experience.

I don't really have much to say about the story, not because it's bad, but because it's so shrouded in mystery that my cogs are still turning as to what it could mean. I did really like the puzzles, though! And I did notice those key items you hid away...

I have plenty of theories I've been ruminating on even before MW, but I don't wanna put them here because 1) since this is an ask it might make you feel obligated to comment on them somehow which you are not and I don't want you to do, and 2) I think I would start rambling and make this ask a mile long LOL.

That's about everything I could think of off the top of my head! Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I hope you the best in all the other chapters and games you plan to make. I'm sure I'll enjoy them just as much, if not even more. Take care!

Haha yes! ♡ I know some people have been asking why Reginald has two arms in the promo images and it's like...it's meant to be a surprise, silly!

Also for our little Wishmaker character, yes! I adore them very much and I'm very excited for people to see more of them and learn their real name!! Another one of my favorites to be sure ♡ Not sure how I'll tag them in posts yet until their name reveal... clock, maybe? Just to avoid confusion? This character can be referred to with any pronouns, but for clarification that in games and in my posts they will only be referred to with "they" and the occasional "it"

I'm happy the QTEs are received well! (Granted they were a bit harder at first haha!) I'm happy to include them in future chapters as I feel future chapters will definitely be more linear and dialogue heavy and so I hope they can spice up the gameplay and keep things interesting and maybe just a tad more immersive! ♡

As for mouse movement controls it's kinda like a "Well yes, but actually no". You CAN move using the mouse if you really want to but you also have to be aware that you could accidentally hit an object's hitbox and activate its event. And you can't back out of an event once it has been activated like in typical point-and-clicks. (There's only so far I can push the engine with my experience level!) It's for this reason (and the surprise of QTE's!) that WASD/Arrow Key movement is recommended!

Thank you so much! ♡ I am so very happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and I love to hear what people have been brewing up regarding the story and the mysteries still unfolding (even though I can't say anything about it yet!) and I can't wait until I can have more to show you all! I'm really excited for it and I hope everyone will be too! ♡♡♡

[inevitably-ineffable-husbands]

Hi Steph! I hope you're doing alright :)

I only now realised that Crowley suggested the rainstorm, because he says they'll seek shelter and then 'one fabulous kiss and we're good'. Like, he didn't understand how kisses work in the beginning of the season and in the end he still doesn't. It's so sad that he reached out like that at the wrong moment.. Like, in the book it literally says he's an optimist, so he must've held out some hope that that would fix everything and make Aziraphale realise 'they were made for each other' I'm in pain.

(Also: Did you see how after Aziraphale takes the car, not only does it change (and follow him like a puppy), but Shax can't materialise in it? She waits in the door and asks him to invite her. As if it was his property. ...Our car indeed xD Crowley honestly must have accepted that in his heart. Like isn't that sweet.)

Also I love your blog so much. Honestly, I read pretty much every post <3 If I could send asks on my sideblog (sb in real life knows my main and I'm not mixing fandom and rl), I totally would.

Hey Nonny!!

AHHH Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm glad you enjoy my blog and your time here, and it means the world to me that you read all of my posts! LOL I feel ya on the sideblog thing, I wish Tumblr let you switch between them for asks.

YEAH, the rain thing still fucks me up, because he is, at heart, a romantic and (as you said) an optimist, so he genuinely thought the kiss would fix everything. I also think he thinks the canopy is romantic because it's a core memory for him as the first kind gesture Aziraphale did for him after his Fall, after the First Rain. AND I genuinely believe it's his wish as well, to be caught in the rain under a canopy with Aziraphale to recreate their kind gesture to each other... I think this BECAUSE one of the first promo photos for S2 was the two of them, under an umbrella (canopy) in the rain, leaning into each other. It's not just Nina's deepest desire, it's Crowley's as well. Only this time, he wants them looking into each other's eyes. I think he thinks that was the missing element that kept them from VaVooming, so yeah, he's craving that deeply.

So it is very sad that he thinks the kiss will solve all their problems, when really, they NEED to communicate. They're NOT seeing each other properly, and they haven't all season during the modern scenes. They talk around each other, and avoid things, but never discuss things, really. And Honestly, Crowley had the right idea, but SHIT-ASS timing. They were both angry, hurt, and over-emotional after everything, and Aziraphale was already being manipulated at that point to where he fears Crowley and himself being retaliated against for loving each other (remember, Azzie DOESN'T know why Gabe was cast out; from his perspective, it was because he fell in love with a demon). And Crowley, well, his ridiculous devotion to protect Azzie from all the bad in the world is his downfall, and why Aziraphale is in the mess he's in now. GUH, I need them to finally talk.

The WHOLE SCENE was SO deliciously beautiful in a very angsty way, I loved it so much.

And regarding the car... OMG I DIDN'T even notice that about Shax!! You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. The car became a space where Aziraphale needs to allow someone into Crowley's heart it. So YEAH, shit you're right! That said, Crowley loves Azzie so much, it's very sweet that the Bentley is essentially a manifestation of his feelings for Azzie.

Thank you again for your ask, and I hope you continue to enjoy your time here!! <3 <3

master list

————————————————————————

“And cut! That's a wrap! Thank you everyone!" Anna calls out as the movie just shot their last scene. A very wet, steamy, rain kiss.

Austin high fives Vic, playing it cool. Although, he'd love to hug her instead, or do more. He hasn't been able to get her out of his mind the past couple weeks since their hook up.

Regret has been killing him. He hates what he did to her, falling for Eliana's alluring ways. He wishes he hadn't fucked up. Victoria would be his if he didn't.

He can't help but to bask her sexual beauty at the moment. Her wet tee, clinging in all the right places.

Austin starts to head to his trailer to get those thoughts out of his head.

"Hey, Butler!" Vic calls out to him. "See you at you at the wrap party?"

He's surprised she'd ask him such a thing, as he knows she's been dying to get filming over with so they'd never have to see each other again. Well, at least for a while until promos start.

"Uh, yeah! I'll be there."

"Cool. See you then!"

"Why'd you ask if he was going?" Mila questions Victoria.

"I wanted to know if my night would be more entertaining. If he's there, I get to watch him suffer in jealousy one last time because he'll see me & Ashton together."

"You're crazy, Vic."

"I know. But he's made my life a living hell, so."

Little does she know, Austin's been keeping up on the asshole act to hide his true feelings towards her, and he now finds it as a turn on to see her get all worked up & frustrated. So, lately, making her life a living hell has really been a benefit for him.

At the wrap party, drinks are being had, music is blaring through the speakers. It's almost as if it was the cast party all over again, but this time it was a different club.

Austin sits in the corner, sipping on an old fashioned as he watches Victoria & Ashton dance the same way he & Victoria danced the night things fell apart.

"Hey handsome." Eliana comes up & sits next to him.

"What are you doing here, Eli?" he asks, annoyed.

"You know I'd never miss a good party. And I knew you'd be here."

"Yep. I'm here. Probably going to leave soon though."

"Awe why? The party just started."

"Yeah, well, I don't really enjoy watching the girl I like dance with her boyfriend, so."

"Victoria?"

"Yeah."

"You like her again? You're over me?"

"Honestly...I don't think I ever stopped liking her deep down. I really regret kissing you that night, you know."

"How could you regret kissing me? I'm the best you've ever had, Austin."

"Don't be so sure of yourself, Eliana."

"So, Im not the best you've ever had?"

"Bingo. Sorry."

"Let me prove it to you. I still want you, Austin."

"No thanks, I'm good."

Eliana leans in closer to him, staring to nibble on his ear how he likes. "Cmon, Aus. I know you want-

"No, Eliana. Stop." he cuts her off. "I told you we were over, like a million times. It's not happening. You showed me your true colors that day I saw you making out with that rando. Vic was right about you & I really wish I would have listened to her." Austin gets up & starts heading out.

"Wait! Austin! Please! One more chance!" Eliana calls out.

Austin just ignores her & continues on.

Victoria notices that he's leaving. She starts to feel accomplished, thinking she was making him jealous enough to leave, but then she spots Eliana. She knew instantly she was the reason why Austin left.

"Thanks for making Austin leave! I was trying to win him back!" Eliana yells at Vic over the loud music.

"Yeah, okay. I'm sure he left because of you, because he was tired of listening to your bullshit. He told you plenty of times you guys were done for." Victoria says.

"No, he didn't, but okay."

"He did, I was there, everytime you came to set begging him to take you back."

"You're so annoying." Eliana says, storming off.

"Guess you haven't met yourself then!" Vic shouts to her.

Ashton whispers into her ear, "Wanna get out of here?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

A few weeks have passed & Victoria feels like a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders not having to deal with Austin or Eliana. She hasn't seen or spoken to them since the wrap party.

Victoria's been happy to put the past behind her & get a new start. She's been looking for more opportunities now that she's been done with filming, and has had some time off to herself & to enjoy her new official boyfriend.

Ashton took her on a date to Dave & Busters, a place where a part of their first date took place. While Victoria was in the bathroom, Ashton had one a little teddy bear holding a heart out of a crane machine. When she came back, he asked her to be his. It was a cheesy moment, but Vic absolutely loved it.

"Hey, are you gonna ever stop looking for jobs today?" Mila asks Victoria, as she's been sitting at the counter literally all day on her laptop.

"Um, yeah. I'm about to right now actually. I'm starting to feel nauseous from looking at the screen too much." Vic responds.

"Oof, yeah. You're looking kind of green. Let me know if you need anything."

"I will."

Before she knew it, Vic was running to the bathroom to throw up.

"Do you feel better now?" Mila asks as Vic comes out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, a little bit. I think I'll be fine."

A couple days later

"Fuck." Vic mutters to herself as she sits on the floor in front of the toilet.

She gets herself up from the floor and finds Mila in the kitchen making herself a bagel.

"Mila?.."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I, um...fuck." Vic starts to form tears in her eyes. "I think I might be pregnant."

"You what?" Mila responds with a full bite of her bagel in her mouth.

"I think I might be pregnant, which would be insane because I've always been told at my gyno check ups that I may not be able to conceive because of how fucked up my cycles are & practically being infertile." she rambles, being nervous.

"Okay, slow down. Why do you think you are?"

"I just threw up again, and it like came out of nowhere. I don't know what else it could be. I've been feeling fine, it's not a constant thing like if I had food poisoning."

"I have a couple tests in the bathroom if you want to use them. I had a pregnancy scare a few months ago and impulsively bought like three boxes."

"Okay, yeah, I'll do that. But if I am...I don't know who the father is. Like it could be Austin from our one time or Ashton's."

"Have you told Ashton about that time with Austin like I've been saying you should?"

"No, I havent. I just haven't been able to find the right way to tell him."

"Well, you need to. Especially if you're pregnant & he could possibly be the father, or if you're pregnant with another man's baby."

"I know, I know. And if I am...I think I want to keep it. Like it would be a miracle if I am with the amount of times I've been told it would be hard for me to get pregnant."

"I get that. And no matter what, I'm here for you every step of the way."

"Thanks, Mila. I appreciate it. I'm gonna go take those tests since I have to pee anyways."

"Okay. Do you want to look at them together?"

"Yeah. I cant do this alone."

"Okay. Go pee, and I'll be right there."

Victoria does her business & takes the tests.

"This is the longest three minutes of my life." Vic complains.

"Thirty more seconds." Mila says looking at her timer.

When the seconds were up, Victoria took a deep breath & closed her eyes before looking at the tests.

Both tests read positive.

"Shit." Vic says to herself.

Mila reads the tests herself, "Oh my god."

"Now I really have to tell Ashton, huh?"

"Mhm. You need to tell Austin too."

"Fuck. I do, because I'm gonna have to get a paternity test."

"Are you for sure it could be Austin's?"

"Well, when I looked up how long it takes for early symptoms to start, it lines up with that time. I have this gut feeling too that it's his."

"Why?"

"Because in the heat of the moment, and not being prepared, Austin & I didn't use protection, but me and Ashton have been. Just incase, even though it would be unlikely I could get pregnant. But here we are."

"Oh damn. Who are you telling first?"

"I don't know. Austin I guess. He'd be easier to tell. I don't know."

Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.

"I'll go see who it is." Mila says.

She goes out into the main part of the apartment and answers the door.

"Oh, hi Ash! I didn't know you were coming over."

"Hey, Mila. Yeah, I wanted to surprise Vic with some Starbucks. I got you one too. Where is she?" Ashton asks.

"Aw, that's so sweet! Thanks! She's in the bathroom. I'll let her know you're here."

Mila let's Ashton in and goes back to the bathroom.

"Hey, Ashton's here. I think that's who you're telling first."

"Oh god. No time to prepare, but okay."

"I'm here if you need me. You know that."

"I know."

They both walk out into the kitchen.

"Hey! There's my girl! How are you?" Ashton asks.

Tears start streaming down Victoria's face. "Um, can we talk?"

"Yeah, of course. What's wrong?"

They go into the living area & have a seat on the couch.

"I've been meaning to tell you this for awhile now, because you deserve to know, but I haven't been able to bring myself to tell you, but I really need to tell you now."

"What is it, Vic?"

"A few weeks ago, before we made it official, and while I was still filming....Austin & I, we....we hooked up. It was a total mistake, and it shouldn't have happened, but it did, and I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry it happened & I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Vic just sobs as she gets her words out.

"Hey, hey. It's okay. I'm glad you told me sooner than later. Things happen, and we weren't together yet. It's okay, really."

"But it's not..." she cries more, struggling to get the rest out. "I'm pregnant. And it could be his, or it could be yours."

Ashton covers his mouth in shock.

"I'm so sorry." Victoria says. "If you don't want anything to do with me, or the baby, I get it."

"Does Austin know?" he asks.

"No. I just found out right before you came."

"And you want to keep the baby? I mean, I'm sure you do, right? With your issues, I'm sure you're surprised this even happened."

"Yeah, I do. Whethers it's yours, or his. I just don't want this to change anything between us. I do really like you, Ash. Shit, I love you & I don't want to lose you over this."

"You're not going to lose me, Vic. I love you too. We'll get through this no matter what happens, alright?"

"Okay. Thank you for being so amazing, and understanding."

"Of course. Like I said, things happen. It's okay."

He reaches over & kisses the top of her head.

Now that the hard part is over, the next step is to tell Austin. We can only hope he'll take the news just as well as Ashton did.

[chim-chim1310]

you don't have to answer this if you're not comfortable, but as a fellow ex-jikooker (i've stopped for quite some time now), i've been scratching my head seeing some of the jikookers' posts since the past week. they've been bombarding the jimin tag and gods i wish i can just unsee some things. i can't believe i've been a shipper like them before. that i liked their posts, theories, all that shit.

don't get me wrong some of their points are valid and jikook could still be real, but the way these people operate now is such a downgrade. there has to be a connection in everything when there is nothing to connect. they've romanticized everything that can be romanticized under the sun. most of them has no questions and did not even call out the differential treatment. it's pathetic.

there's this group of jikookers that i never particularly liked too. i eventually unfollowed them in the middle of my shipper journey. they've been acting all high and mighty in these spaces—as if they're better than anyone around. they're condescending too. they need to get off their high horses for real because who do they think they are? no wonder dogpiling has been happening in the jikook bubble for some time now.

tbf there still are sane jikookers left who are rational and are brave to raise points. that's a good sight to see. i've seen some who totally stopped shipping too, and that's good for them.

for me, going out of the shipping bubble is a relief. it's like i can finally breathe better. yes i get melancholic once in a while because i miss enjoying jikook's bond but i can't appreciate them anymore like i used to. and now that we've witnessed the promos, ugly feelings just intensified and come out every time i see them again. i can't stand the other half anymore. but it's all good and i've been coping. i've been wanting to leave for a while now anyway.

thanks for letting me rant here. i like your blog and i'm glad you're freely expressing your thoughts and are doing what's best for you. 🤍

Ngl, to me it actually feel so good after getting out of shipping. I'm kinda embarrassed too that I used to believe those theories even the one which sounded very delusional because I was looking from my shipper glasses.

Now that the glasses are broken, I can finally see the reality. And now when I look at their posts (which literally fills the whole jimin tag) I just can't help but laugh and think "How come I used to even believe all this?" lol.

Jikookers think that everything is rainbow and sunshine. Or maybe they pretend to think that while ignoring everything that is actually going on. They can't seem to understand that just because they're so deep in a ship, it doesn't mean that other people can't get over the shipping culture.

Like some people have brain which they use to question when things aren't looking right. I don't look at things like we're in some movie. When I was a jikooker I was very torn and confused about what was happening.

And then I began to put jikook's situation in real life. And I realized that if I was in jimin's place and something like this happened with me and my boyfriend, and if my bf acted like jk is acting, I would be so fucking angry and would instantly break up with him.

And if I was in jungkook's place then I would feel so guilty I wouldn't even be able to look my bf in the eyes. And I definitely wouldn't act so arrogant like jk is acting these days.

So yeah that's when I stopped being a shipper. I just can't bring myself to like jungkook at all.

The world must be crumbling around them but jikookers wouldn't care as long as jm and jk look at each other for 0.5 seconds.

Like they are so out of touch with reality it's actually funny.

And you must've have noticed that as more and more unfairness btw the treatment is increasing, as jk is getting more and more fame hungry, these jikookers are getting more and more delusional.

They're literally scrambling now to keep living within their fantasies. It's pathetic.

Truth hurts sometimes

The sad reality is, if an author doesn't see interest in a book they wrote, sometimes it's best to move on and not continue, and they will do so. You could fall in love with a book or concept, but never find out the continued story because the book wasn't given enough love.

Sharing the book around, talking about what you liked about it, leaving a review, all of that does help, yeah. Especially pointing out specific parts of what you liked. But sometimes it just won't matter.

I'm finding myself there now, to be honest. The author in the situation, anyway. It just seems like I'm slamming my head against a wall, constantly. Maybe the many rejections on my books were right. I can't help wonder if I'm just a trash author and should stop bothering. The problem is, people seem to generally enjoy what I write. The very small readerbase I have, if you can call it that, points out they enjoy my worldbuilding a lot.

I pour my heart and soul into my writing. That much is clear. To see just... no interest in my samples, my narrations, even my audiobook currently out, it hurts. I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on expensive ads that probably wouldn't work anyway. I've run discounted and free promos, that hasn't helped raise interest. I've been upkeeping tiktok, twitter, instagram, and now am here.

It just seems like too much, and I wish I put my effort into skills that would be useful for me. Visual art, for example, could have gotten me somewhere. Writing...? Clearly not so much.

Okay how about you read energies of bright vachirawit and win metawin ?

I wish you great day ahead 🫶🏻

Thankyou so much 💗

Bright Vachirawit || page of pentacles, nine of pentacles: He's been focused on work these days. For some reason, I also feel like he has recently changed something about his physical appearance - and it could be even for some job. Overall, he's at a great place; very grounded, taking good care of himself, being responsible yet making sure he's enjoying his life. I don't see a romantic partner here, or he's just not very focused on that right now.

Win Metawin || judgement, five of swords: Him, unlike Bright, has been dealing with some problems lately. I see the press being involved, so it could be either having to do with some unpleasant articles about him that have been or are about to be released, and he's fighting against it; or, alternatively, he was scheduled to do some big interview or press promo but there have been big disagreements between his representatives and the other party. Either way, he's wanting to step forward and speak his truth. (I really can't see anything else for him - this is all Spirit wanted to share right now)

Ok but what is rockstar Anthony like when he finally gets to squire Kate around Rome as her boyfriend? How big does he go??

Wait… Kate and Anthony are going back to rome? But this time they’ll be openly in love with each other???!!!

Oh Do you mean when Mary invites him on her birthday holiday? And Anthony can't stop reminding people.

"Sophie, have you remembered thatI'm unavailable next week? I'm going on a family holiday."

"Mum, remember I can't make any appearances next week. I'm going on a family holiday with kate's family."

And Violet sighed, "Yes, Sweetheart. We've all remembered that Kate's Mum invited you on their holiday. Yes it's a very big step in your relationship. Yes, I'm very happy for you Darling."

Anthony had been startled, when he'd been sitting in Mary Sharma's living room, Kate's head in his lap, his fingers in her hair, barely listening as they went through their travel plans. Really he'd just been enjoying being in Kate's presence, enjoyed being welcomed into Mary's home.

"I assume you and Anthony will share, and then Edwina and I can as well."

Anthony's head had shot up at the mention of his name, his heart leaping. "Sorry, what am I sharing with Kate?"

Mary had blinked back at him as Kate's fingers had twisted in his shirt "A... hotel room... when we go to Italy?"

Anthony's stomach lurched excitedly, but he shook his head anyway. "No, No, This is for you guys to enjoy as a family and-"

"You're part of our family, Anthony." Mary had said gently interrupting him. "You might have shared a few too many details of my daughter's private life with the world, but you're one of us now."

"You're busy though." Kate said gently, her eyes guarded as she stared up at him, her fingers in his hair now. "So I get if you can't come, or don't want to."

It had settled on his shoulders, that he'd been let into this family, tears pricking at his eyes. "You're ridiculous, I'm cancelling everything! Now, ladies, we need to talk restaurants!"

He'd been bouncing with excitement ever since. Excited to go back to the city where he'd realised he was in love with Kate. Where he'd stood in front of the fountain and wished desperately that she would fall in love with him. That she would see him for something other than what everyone else did. But more than wanting to be openly in love with Kate, to stand next to her in pictures and press his lips against hers to taste the gelato on her tongue just like he'd wanted to last time: Mary and Edwina were Kate's very people. No one meant more to her than they did and he was sure if he could make them happy, Kate would be happy. He knew she would be.

"So, Anthony, what's up next for you?" The interviewer was looking curiously at him while they wrapped up the interview. "Headed away for more promo?"

"Mmm nope!" He couldn't keep the smile off his face as he leaned back in his chair. "Me and my girl are going away with her family for her Mum's birthday! Super excited! It's gonna be GREAT!"

The interviewer blinked back at him. "You're... going on holiday with your girlfriend's family? And you're excited about this?"

"Ahhh absolutely! Shout out to Mrs Sharma! She's a legend!"

"Man, this is way different than the last time we interviewed I have to say."

"Love, Man! Romantic epiphanies are dope!"

And sure maybe it was a little enthusiastic to call the airline and upgrade everyone to first class, and maybe it was too much to upgrade the hotel to suites, but he didn't care. Because when he saw Kate standing in the sunshine, laughing with her arms around her mother and sister, he fell in love all over again.

And his heart pounded in his chest as he raced forward, ladened down by bags.

"Okay! Ladies! Big smiles, like we're shooting the cover of vogue please!"

"No one smiles in vogue, Annie Leibovitz." Edwina said dryly.

"I am not going to apologise for buying her book! It was very helpful, Edwina, You all look amazing right now!" Anthony rolled his eyes, climbing up the steps to get a better angle. "Especially you, Katie! You're beautiful and I love you!"

"Thanks, babe!"

"Kate, your boyfriend is absolutely ridiculous. How could you actually let him leave the hotel in those birkenstocks? Don't you dress people for a living." Edwina sighed and really, it should have bothered him.

But it didn't. Not when Mary sighed. "Edwina, be nice to Anthony. we all know you're actually friends with him, and he's sweet." She paused for a moment before she turned towards him, "You could tone it down a little though, Anthony."

And it definitely didn't bother him when Kate's eyes caught with his. "He's a bit ridiculous, I think I'll have to marry him one day. And I'm actually kind of into the birks and shorts, he's got legs for days."

It took everything in him not to burst out screaming.

hey, I just watched a video which got me thinking.. do people i.e makers of cql ask ggdd for their consent to release any bts videos in 2022? recently the new wuji recording bts was released, I wonder if ggdd were asked beforehand?

I don't think that's how those BTS clips work, for a variety of reasons.

It's highly unlikely that GG and DD had any involvement with or directly authorized the release of most of the BTS clips we see. I talked more about it in this post, but here are some of the basic points:

BTS footage was filmed as part of the production process for the drama by camera operator(s) working for the production company as part of the film crew.

Performers would likely have had to agree to being filmed for BTS as a term of their contract, and blanket consent for their use by the production company (and at the company's sole discretion) would likely have been included in those terms.

While some BTS were officially released during Untamed promo, the subsequent releases are unofficial and have been disavowed by the production company.

The footage was sold a couple years after filming. The production company claimed not to have been involved in that sale.

The unofficial releases have been handled by the fansites who bought the footage, and it's unlikely that they would have a contract of any kind with GGDD.

Even if the production company was involved in the unofficial releases (and they claim not to be), that doesn't mean GG and DD have any say/involvement in the releases. The production company, as the rights holder, would have complete discretion over how that material would be used.

If the production company isn't directly involved in the release of these unofficial clips (likely the case), then the fansites, as those who now own or at least have copies of the footage, would have complete discretion over what they release.

In the past I've seen BXG theorizing that the BTS releases are evidence of GGDD's ongoing consent to, support for and/or engagement with The Untamed, with shipping, etc. I think it would be a stretch to interpret it that way. At best, the fact that they haven't sued the sites that have been releasing the clips could be taken as their 'tolerance' of it. But we can't really know for sure how they feel about these clips, and like I said, I doubt they've had any direct say in their ongoing release.

I've also seen solos claiming all sorts of negative things about the BTS. That GG and DD hate the footage, that they are embarrassed by it and that it harms them. We don't know that any more than we know that they're supportive of it. We simply don't know how they feel about it.

I think that their feelings about the BTS are probably similar to my own in a lot of ways: mixed. I think that's a healthy perspective to have. It's highly likely they enjoy some of the clips as much as we do. They likely enjoy re-experiencing, laughing at or simply remembering parts of that special summer.

There are also probably clips that are a bit embarrassing, or that they wish people hadn't seen. It would be self-serving and unrealistic for us to assume GG and DD are perfectly happy with all of it.

But it has been 4 years since filming. The more time passes, the less potentially 'risky' any of the clips are for GG and DD. And fansites are still being fairly protective of GG and DD, censoring things and likely holding some things back for their privacy/protection.

As for the Wuji recording BTS, it's hard to say whether they were involved. GG and DD don't own the rights to the music, and we don't know the circumstances of the recording - if that fell under their contract with the production company or if it was privately owned/controlled by Lin Hai. We just don't know, so we don't have enough info to draw any real conclusions.

Hope this answers some of your questions, Anon.

I hope

Jungkook x reader genre: angst word count: 900

a/n: This talks about Jungkook cheating, which I don’t think he would ever do (though I don’t actually know him personally, so who knows), anyway my point is this is pure fiction. It’s based off the song “I hope” by Gabby Barrett. This is pure sadness, no happy ending, just a warning in case you don’t want to read. If you do read, I hope you enjoy!

Tears continued to stream down your face as you looked at Jungkook standing in front of you.  

“Who told you?”

“Does it really matter how I found out?” You struggled to keep you voice steady. “I thought you loved me.”

“I do love you.”

“No you don’t, if you loved me you would never have slept with her.”

“It was a stupid mistake. I don’t feel anything for her. I don’t know what I can tell you to convince you it meant nothing,” desperation seeped into his voice.  

“You can’t tell me anything Jungkook. You made your choice and you can’t undo that however much I wish you could.”

Jungkook runs a hand down his face in frustration as the tears continue to silently stream down your face. Unbeknownst to him you had found out he had cheated on you thanks to your friend that works with him. They had been away doing some promo for their upcoming song and were eating out when a few of them decided to stay and continue to have some drinks. That’s when they began chatting to other people in the bar and where the girl had come along. Your friend had said how cosy they were in the bar, the girl constantly touching him and he didn’t stop her. That’s when they both left together. She couldn’t confirm that anything had happened but you knew something had.

The thing that hurt the most was when you found out this wasn’t the last time. The same girl, multiple nights. And that’s when your heart broke and you felt sick. That’s where you found yourself now. Jungkook had just come home from his trip and you had confronted him when he walked through the door. And he didn’t deny a thing.  

“I think it’s best I leave,” you head up to your bedroom to grab a bag to put some clothes in. You didn’t know where you were going to go but you knew one of your friends would house you even if just for the night, from there you would figure something more long term out. All you knew was you needed to get out of this house now.  

Jungkook trailed slowly behind you and watched from the door as you began packing some clothes. “You don’t have to leave. I’ll sleep on the sofa. Or I can go stay with one of the boys.”

“I don’t think I can stay here. I don’t think I can stand staying somewhere that has constant reminders of you.”

“Please, Y/N, can we not talk about this some more?”  

“I don’t know what else there is to say.”

“But we’ve not said anything. Please, I want to tell you that I still love you. That I regret every second of what I did and I will regret it for the rest of my life. I don’t love her like I love you. Please I don’t think I can I live without you in my life.”

“Maybe you should have thought about that earlier Jungkook.”

“Please tell me what I can say, what I can do, to make this right.”

At this point you had finished putting the few essentials you needed into your bag. You zipped it up and grabbed it as you walked back out the room towards the front door, shoving past Jungkook as you went. “There is nothing you can say.”

“Please just talk to me,” he pleads as you finally reach the door.  

“You want me to talk?” You turn to look at him, sadness in your eyes as you meet his. “I can't believe you would ever do this to me. I don’t care who it was, how it happened, when it happened, I can’t believe in any situation, with any girl, you would do this to me.” The words and emotions flow out of you as you gain a sudden amount of control.  

“Y/N I -”

“I thought it was my turn to talk?” You cut Jungkook off and he remains silent giving you a slight nod to tell you to carry on.  

“I have never felt hurt like this and I don’t know if you will ever fully understand how I feel right now.” You pause as your heart pounds, hatred and anger starting to take over from sadness. “You know. I hope she makes you smile. I hope you both feel the sparks that we felt when we met. I hope you can finally feel free with her and tell all your friends that you are so happy with her. I hope she visits you when you have time off and you spend all your money on making her happy. I hope she’s everything you want and need. And then I hope she cheats like you did on me.”

Jungkook stares at you, eyes never breaking contact as tears slowly seep out of his eyes but he remains silent.  

“I hope she makes you feel the same way about her that I feel about you right now. Because you know, only then will you truly begin to feel how I feel right now. And when you realise how I feel, maybe you can come to me, and only then will I be ready to talk to you.”

You give Jungkook one last look, taking in his features as you don’t think you’ll ever see him this close again. Then you turn around and leave the place you once called home. As the door closes Jungkook can only stare at the place you once stood before he collapses on the ground sobbing uncontrollably.

part 1

~ some 18+ content below - read at your own risk ~

You smile and look at yourself in the mirror of your bridal suite. It's been a year to the day since Kyle proposed to you. It's Christmas Day 2021 and you stand in your dress. A smile is painted across your lips as your maid of honor, Tegan Nox, fixing the veil that is attached to a little tiara.

The dress itself is mermaid style. The skirt begins to flare out at your knees, and there's a layer of sparkly fabric. There are no sleeves and a sparkly silver belt sits around your waist. The skirt and veil leave a small train behind you.

There's a knock on your suite door and you call, "Come in! Unless your name is Kyle O'Reilly."

The door opens and your now fourteen year old sister pops her head in. "Mom just got here," she says. "And she looks ridiculous."

Your eyebrows come together as the door slams open. Your mother stands in a white cocktail dress. Your eyes widen and you say, "Are you literally kidding me right now? You're really wearing a white dress to your own daughter's wedding?"

"Y/N, I tried to get her to change but she wouldn't listen to me," your sister immediately says.

Your eyes don't leave your mother. You say, "I can't believe you, Mom. I really can't. I held my title for almost 700 days, I was a double champion for 200 days. I don't know what else I can do to prove to you that I'm not my sister."

Tegan looks at you and your mother before your mother says, "You're nothing like your sister, honey. You're still alive while she's dead."

Your younger sister says, "Mom! It's her wedding day! Are you serious right now?"

"Y/OS/S will never get a wedding day," your mother states. "She'll never have kids. She'll never have the family that Y/N plans on having with Kyle."

Tears well up in your eyes and you say, "That's not my fucking fault. It's the pilot's fault. He's the reason the plane took a nosedive into the Atlantic with her on it."

Your mother walks up to you and says, "It should've been you!"

You flinch away from your mom as the door opens. You see your grandmom walk in. Your dad's mom. Your mom's mother-in-law.

"You better not have said what I think you said to my granddaughter," your grandmom says.

The angry look in your mother's eyes turns into annoyance or fear. You can't tell but the tears that formed are now falling down your face.

Your grandmother says, "You wore white to your own daughter's wedding. You're seriously that low.

Y/S/N runs over and hugs you. You hug her back as your mother says, "Why shouldn't I have? It's not like she doesn't deserve it." She shoots a glare in your direction.

Maybe she's right.

You look at your sister and ask, "Where's Kyle's room? I need to talk to him."

Your sister says, "He's in room 103."

As you go to leave, your mother says, "Oh, running away as per usual."

"I'm going to tell my fiancé that I'm not getting married if my own mother tries to ruin it," you say. "It's one thing if one of my exes or one of Kyle's try to ruin it because I can handle that. I can't handle my own mother showing up in a white dress to my own wedding."

You leave the room and walk down to Kyle's.

After standing outside the room for a second, you knock. "One second!" you hear from the inside.

You wait patiently as the door opens, revealing not Kyle but Adam Cole. He looks confused and says, "You're not supposed to be here, Y/N."

"I need to, um, talk to Kyle," you say, voice shaky.

Adam looks at you confused before he says, "I'll go get him." Adam walks off. Kyle appears in front of you seconds later.

Your fiance looks at you and asks, "Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Kyle engulfs you in a hug and you say, "My mom showed up in a white dress, Kyle. A freaking white dress. Then she started saying how my sister will never get a wedding or have a family like us, and she said that it should've been me. She's ruined the day, Kyle. I can't do this today."

"Can't do what?" he asks, looking down at you. You look up at him with tears in your eyes.

You cry, "I can't get married today. I can't do it."

He gets a look in his eyes and he says, "I'm going to talk to your mother. Where is she?"

As Kyle whips your tears away, you say, "My room. 109."

Kyle walks down the hallway and you follow him. He bursts into the room and says, "How fucking dare you show up to our wedding in a white dress. How fucking dare you say to Y/N that it should've been her that died in that crash. This is Y/N's day. It's her day, and you're here to, what, tell her that she should have died? I'm sorry that Y/OS/N died, I wish I could have met her, but I know that she sure as hell wouldn't want you ruining her younger's sister's wedding day. Either get out of that dress, support Y/N, and get your act together or get the fuck out and go home."

Kyle being supportive and defensive makes you change your mind back instantly to wanting to marry Kyle today. If he's willing to put up with this side of your family then you're one hundred percent ready to marry him today, no matter what.

"Who do you think you are speaking to me like that?" your mother retorts. "I am-"

You watch as Kyle cuts her off. "I don't give two shits who you are," he says, making you cover a small smile that has begun to form on your lips. "You could be the president and I wouldn't fucking care. Stop talking to Y/N like she did something wrong because she didn't. It's not her fault that Y/OS/N died. She's worked harder than I've ever seen her work since you told her she was nothing like Y/OS/N. 678 days as NXT Women's Champion and 200 days as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion. That's a hell of an accomplishment that I'll never achieve but you should be proud of her instead of fucking bashing her! Grow the hell up or get out!"

Your mother looks at Kyle and looks at you behind him. Your grandmother looks almost proud and your younger sister is smiling.

Kyle has officially put your mother in her place and she's officially speechless. She also doesn't look happy.

There's tension in the air as you wait for someone to make a move.

Your mother grabs her things and walks toward the door. She stops and says, "Enjoy your life, Y/N. I never want to see or talk to you again."

Then she leaves and you're heartbroken. Your own mother won't watch as you say I do to Kyle.

Honestly, you're not that upset about it, just heartbroken that it had to come to this.

You look up at Kyle and he looks at you. "Y/N, I'm so-"

Before he can say another word, you put your hands on his cheeks and kiss him. Hard. It's a hard kiss.

Your grandmother says, "Alright, let's go Y/S/N. We shouldn't be here for this."

"But I wanna see what happens," she says, leaving the room with your grandmom.

There's a laugh as your grandmother says, "No you don't."

The door closes and Kyle pulls back from the kiss, looking down at you. "What was that for?" he asks.

You say, "No one's ever put her in her place like that, and honestly, it was hot."

Kyle laughs and says, "You would find it hot, wouldn't you?"

"I've never seen you get so defensive," you say. "It was so hot, especially with the cursing."

Your fiancé's cheeks turn a light red and he smiles. "Remind me to ask Regal to let me curse in the ring when cutting promos," Kyle says.

You lean up and kiss Kyle again. "Please do," you say.

Kyle kisses you back and cups your cheeks. You smile into the kiss, wrapping your hands around Kyle's wrists.

The two of you stand in the room like that for a few minutes, and you feel a small ache between your legs. Kyle's cursing affected you more than you thought.

You pull back from the kiss and look up at Kyle.

"I don't think I can wait for tonight," you admit.

Kyle glances at the time then sheds his suit jacket. He undoes his tie before he says, "We got time. About thirty minutes."

You reach behind you and unzip your dress as you say, "I think we'll only need fifteen."

As soon as you're both naked, you're laid out on the bed with Kyle on top of you.

Let's just say that it was the best pre-wedding sex of all time.

***

Kyle gets dressed and goes back to his room with the Undisputed Era boys as soon as you're both done in bed.

You slip your dress back on as Tegan, your younger sister, and your best friend come into the room.

"Oh, Y/N," Tegan says, hiding a laugh. "Your chest is a mess."

You look down to see that Kyle definitely left his mark on you. Your cheeks heat up and your best friend says, "Must've been good. I can promise you that tonight will be even better."

"He's already planning for tonight," you giggle. "He told me that he was holding back until tonight, and it was still some of the best we've had."

Your sister has her ears covered and you laugh at the sight.

The girls help get you fixed up and ready to walk down the aisle.

Twenty minutes later, it's time. You walk down the aisle with your father, who told your mother to leave without him because he wasn't missing your wedding.

The ceremony is taking place outside right next to an ocean. It's a beautiful day outside in Florida. A warm 60 something degrees with a slight breeze. It's a warm Christmas Day. It usually is.

Kyle stands at the end of the aisle under a white arch covered in white flowers.

Your father hands you off to Kyle, who's smiling at you. "That dress looked better on the floor," he says quietly. A smirk follows the comment.

"Behave yourself, Mr. O'Reilly," you giggle.

Kyle says, "I'll try my best, Mrs. O'Reilly."

You smile at your new last name, even if it's not official yet.

You meet Kyle's eyes and as soon as they do, you don't break eye contact with him. Not when you were saying your vows and not while you were crying as Kyle said his.

It takes an eternity for the official to say, "By the power invested in me by the state of Florida, I pronounce you man and wife. Kyle, you may kiss your bride."

"I've already done that once today," Kyle says. "Or a few dozen times." The crowd laughs. "But I'll do it again."

And he does. He seals the marriage with a kiss.

The crowd claps and you pull back from the kiss. You don't pull that far away as you say, "I love you, Kyle."

Kyle smiles and says, "And I love you, Y/N."

Then the two of you share a second kiss as husband and wife.

[what-do-1000-swords-look-like]

LOL wait what???? Walker is #1 in the network and does pretty well in rating so what are you talking. Jensen is the one that looks bad and no one wants to see this shitty prequel. WHO ASKED FOR THAT.

oh my goodness, anon, are you still going on about this? Good Lord...

...alright then

Firstly, Walker is #1 on the rancid nutwork? since when? I have seen more promotional materials and longer promotional timelines (as well as frequency) for the DC Universe shows than Walker, Legacies, Charmed, or any other show (excepting All-American) that is currently on the network or returning. Which with the timeframe and where each show is currently at in their own timeline, makes sense. But I can guarantee you that I have seem more promos for Charmed than I have Walker. For Legacies more than Walker. For even the returning season of In the Dark. For their new show The Republic Of Sarah. Here, anon, just for you:

This is this season's ratings for the network brought to you by tvseriesfinale.com I believe is the name of their site. While Walker is high up there, I'll give you that, effectively at #2, this is just an average so far. Now, when you break it down, let me show you a little something:

That was posted on June 8th 2021 for a 7 day average. While Walker is higher than say Legacies in this list, look at the entire list based on their averages going up against other shows on other networks. This is for the 18-49 adult demographic as well. And Walker was airing episodes around that time, right? While Walker got renewed for a second season (as you see above) and the network is holding onto it tightly since some of their DCU shows are coming to an end like Supergirl and Black Lightning, etc, it doesn't mean that in the long run, Walker will hold up. It really depends on the ratings they get next season, which tbf is a truer and wholesome depiction since Walker got a late start last year (which is why they haven't gained or lost when compared to the 2019-2020 slot). We shall see but as you can see CW's #1 show was SPN (until it ended) and now All-American sits in the top slot for the current season for the network. I'm sure those numbers will eventually change, for better or worse, for each show on the network. If you wish to explore further and delve into the world of marketing research, public relations, advertising campaigns, the history of the network, and how ratings work as a whole and how they affect television shows such as the one you're discussing, then there is always Google or there are people who are much more experienced and more familiar with how it all works than I, some even on this very site.

Secondly, how does Jensen look bad? He didn't tweet out any name calling for a former co-worker of his and then suddenly delete it because he realized he screwed up (which the deleted tweet definitely pulls the air out of your PR stunt theory). Jensen looks bad because he and his wife who are performing artists and storytellers by trade decided to use their production company to rightfully pursue and acquire the rights to this fictional universe to continue telling the story and put out more content for a diverse group of the show's fans to enjoy? So he could continue delving into the backstory of his character (and others) that he has love and passion for? That he spent 15 years of his life (including many years of Danneel's and his family's) to continue to bring said story to the screen, once again for the fans to enjoy? Yes, anon, you're absolutely right. In your world, he should be jailed for such an action. I mean, how dare he? Really? The absolute nerve. The audacity. It's criminal, I tell you, purely criminal!

Thirdly, the prequel can't be shitty as you so eloquently put it because it hasn't even been fully developed yet. This announcement was purely the greenlight and the network's intention and plan to air it once it comes to fruition. As of right now, it's considered as "in development", not even close to "pre-production" yet though it's a step closer. (tho tbf, I obviously don't work for that network or Chaos Machine Productions so I don't know the full extent of exactly where they are at the moment with it all) The point is, it can't be shitty until it actually exists.

And lastly (but certainly not least), GOOD! No one may have asked for it but we're freaking getting it. And I absolutely want and fully support Jensen to do as he pleases, going in this direction. The man gave 15 years of his personal and professional life to this role, he gave every ounce of performance and time to it, to the fanbase; the man deserves to do what he wants from here on out. Not to mention, he is using the production company that he and his wife put their hard-earned money into to form said company, the time and effort to negotiate the rights to do this, and now are putting even more time and effort into bringing it to the screen and making all of these projects happen. Good for him! Good for them both! While I don't necessarily want anything further to do with John Winchester, whether I like it or not he's Dean's bio dad, and he is integral to Dean's story. If you and many others can't see the writing on the wall, how much Jensen loves this character, then that's on you. I, for one, wholeheartedly support what he's doing and I'm excited for the first time in months for this universe to continue. I trust him completely. Why wouldn't you or any of his supposed "true" Wincest/J2 fans that are crying "foul" right now? If you've followed Jensen's work over the years, if you've heard him speak about this character and how much he puts into the story, how could you see anything other than exactly what this is? He's giving all of us even MORE. We may not like the starting point he started at but doesn't it make sense to go back to the beginning, to find out how the Winchesters came to be? And doesn't it fall in line with everything Jensen has said the past 15 years? Everything he's done? Every ounce of love and care into the show, including directing some episodes?

I mean...

So if that man wants to take his own money and put more of his time into telling a certain portion of this character's story, even Dean's dickhead bio dad's, then I am all fucking for it. I will watch it because I am able to compartmentalize and realize that Jensen has Dean's and the story's best interest at heart. I will watch it because of the depth of my passion and care for Dean as a character and his story. I will watch it because I want to know every inch of his story, as much as Jensen does. I will watch it because I have followed this man's work for years and he always walks the walk, not just talks the talk or mails it in like so many other actors do in the industry. He is the real deal. I will wave my Jensen and Danneel support flag so high, aliens will get poked in their bug-like eyes by the top of the flag pole as they pass us by, cursing me out in Klondickian alien language and instantly regretting leaving the window open on the UFO for a quick flyby.

So, good for him, good for Danneel, good for their production company, and good for Robbie Thompson. Good, good, good! I sincerely hope Jensen ignores the ups and downs of the fandom drama and does whatever the fuck he wants. I am so proud of him, proud for him, and if you or anyone else doesn't like what he's doing, too fucking bad. He put in his fucking time; the man earned the right to do this and more.

Now, anon, I sincerely hope you have a good rest of your day and weekend. It sounds like your group needs it. Until next time, anon. Hugs.

I’m gonna come rant to you again (I did it before). All my close fandom friends are Larries (I came into the fandom trough Larry, but changed my tune real fast), so I can’t talk to them.

They keep saying Louis doesn’t need promo for his festival, because tickets are already given and it’s full. And he doesn’t want to be a big musician, he is happy like he is and I get so frustrated at that. How does that make any sense? How can they see all this and think it is normal? It really gets to me.

Is There a way to find more Louis mutuals?

Hi Anon!

You're welcome to rant anytime :)

I totally get your frustration - it's been ingrained in this fandom that Louis doesn't want a successful solo career and that is very far from the truth. Larries buying into this narrative are actually doing Sony's job of pushing Louis to the curb. Yet, he persists... in less than normal conditions.

Yes, the Festival is mostly for fans and it was expected that it would be sold-out based on Louis' current fan base alone. The festival holds 8,000 people - and Louis' dates at Wembley in 2022 have sold out in an instant for a venue with a bigger capacity.

We see through the London livestream and through the Festival that Louis wants to perform (he said several times it's one of his favourite thing to do) and wants to connect with his fans (finding new ways of giving us content since the tour is rescheduled). The livestream was a huge success... yet no press coverage. I have no doubt the Festival will blow our mind, but no one is expecting the situation to change in terms of promo because it has not changed so far.

The thing is, Louis' career cannot be sustained on its current fanbase. Fans have checked out already because it took 5 years to have Walls and fans are leaving now too because everything is messed up and the mood is terrible. Louis needs new fans - outside of 1D, outside of Larry - that will listen to his music and attend his concert. To get new, "casual" fans, he needs proper promo and that is just... not happening right now. The Festival would have been a great way to introduce new fans to Louis through the opening acts.

Just because the festival is sold-out doesn't mean that things could (should!!!) have been different from a promotional point of view - from traditional press and radio coverage to Louis' social medias.

Larries refusing to see how abnormal Louis' career has been and still is are just willingly covering their eyes. I also wonder what kind of "fans" they are - wouldn't they want Louis to achieve the success he deserves? Wouldn't they want to tune in the radio and hear Always You and have more people discover Louis' amazing songs? Wouldn't they want people to know that Louis Tomlinson had the biggest livestream concert in 2020 and raised millions for charity? Wouldn't they want to share the sunshine that is Louis Tomlinson? I do! Louies do!

On top of that, saying that Louis is "happy" in the corner he's been put in is very cruel. I know Louis radiates optimism but I can't believe he spent months (a year?) working on the Festival only to get a mention (full of errors) at the bottom of the Music Weekly article. I know he persists because of the fans but no one works in an industry and is comfortable with being blacklisted ignored like he is. No one who is a hard worker like him enjoys being surrounded by an incompetent team. Anyone who thinks Louis is comfortable or "wants" his current situation is extremely naive and probably doesn't have a lot of experience in this world.

Things are extremely messed up right now and I can't fathom how Louis himself must be feeling. It's clear that there are things going behind the scenes that we don't see and what we see is already so weird... It's worrying.

Larries don't care much about all that I presume because they have their headcanon about "stay-at-home-husband!Louis" and would rather discuss his personal life than his musical aspirations.

Sometimes I wish I could be blissfully unaware of this fucked up situation too, because it's very uneasy... but the facts are here. Once you know them you can decide wether you want to get into ~the discourse~ or tailor your fandom experience in another way. But you definitely shouldn't go around telling people that Louis doesn't want to be a big musician - again, so far from the truth (Larries have a hard time listening to what Louis really says, I've noticed.)

In the end, Louis persists and comes through no matter what so I know the festival will be great and I can't wait to see him perform with his long hair and his rock t-shirt. 🕯Manifesting 🕯

(To find new Louies mutuals, I suggest that you follow solo Louies' blogs. Here is my blog recs tag)

Honestly sometimes I think armie is bisexual, I mean he just can't stop flirting with men at all, but on the other side all the kinky rumors that exists about him only mention sexual relationships with women, so basically I'm confused right now. Do u think he is straight or bi?

I don’t think I have a straight answer for this, anon- pardon the pun. This may go long, and for that I am sorry, but also, this is simply how I see things, as a queer woman born and raised in the deep south as a southern Baptist. I’m sure growing up, I heard and saw a lot of the same things he experienced in that sort of community and a family that was religious.

I think he is a deeply, deeply troubled individual, esp where sexuality is concerned. For my money, I lean toward bisexual but with deep-seated internalised homophobia. It’s obvious he loathes and fears his mother but also remains close to her in spite of being a grown man that can and probably should break ties with a woman that feels the need to exorcise him. It also seems he has a Madonna/whore complex  In psychoanalytic literature, a Madonna–whore complex is the inability to maintain sexual arousal within a committed, loving relationship. That seems to have been the case between him and Elizabeth. Taking the Russian woman’s experience into account, he was involving himself with her barely months after the birth of Ford. We don’t know- yet- what he might have been doing with whom after the birth of Harper as well, but it isn’t hard to imagine what he was getting up to bts. He admitted that he had to change after marriage, but sexual inclinations aren’t something someone can just magically delete from their psyche. Where was he getting that itch scratched, and with whom?  I can imagine him hooking up with women like Dominastya in order to get the relief of a scratch, but also as a tool to subconsciously ‘punish’ women. Dominastya said he was fixated on anal, which is most times the case with a closet-case. He’s an enigma to me, tbh. The flirting almost seems like he enjoys the danger of exposing a secret part of himself while defying anyone to actually call him queer since he's been married and fathered children. He was a champion queer-baiter during promo for CMBYN, with his doleful gaze and wistful remembrances of the romance of that Italian summer.

There’s been the rumor for years (that I’ve been harassed over even daring to mention it here by Charmies in the past) that he was involved with Tom Ford (*cough*Ford*cough*). For some in HW, it’s one of those open secrets everyone knows but doesn’t speak about except in whispers and innuendo. So there is at least one man we could put down in his column for bisexuality. Since then, there hasn’t been anyone else I’ve heard about and the Charmie chatter doesn’t count, because that is wishful hoping, not a legit rumor that they were ever anything more than friends. The wink wink nudge nudge of comments from media don’t mean anything other than playing for clicks, because like with the Tom Ford rumor, these outlets have a bottom line to protect.

I think the internalised homophobia works its way out in different ways. I think he takes a perverse pleasure in the gay parts he’s portrayed. More of a middle finger to his family than any true calling or emotion to a character or story. He’s too quick to use comments that reek of homophobia. Today’s comments on Twitter were just the latest in a long line of using queerness as a joke. Remember the odious “cocksucker” comment not too long ago? The “I’ve sucked a dick on film!” hilariousness?  Yeah, what a guy.

Again, rumors don’t equate to truth. He’s been rumored to have fooled around with women from other films, most recently Lily James while filming Rebecca.

tl;dr- All of this to really say, anon, is that I think Armie is a closet-case that no one should hold their breath of ever coming out on purpose. Until he gets caught with someone’s dick up his ass in a back alley in WeHo, it will be status quo for Armie Hammer. There are two sides at war within Armie Hammer, the sexual repression goes hand in hand with a family and upbringing like his. Unless he seeks serious help- professional, not pharmaceutical- I doubt anything will change with him.

cc: @isitandwonder I hope you don’t mind, but I know you have some pretty good insight into his identity as well.

 And anyone else who might have insight into what they believe his psyche to legitimately be like. Open for real and true discussion here.

[2] Feb. 13th 2021: Taylor Swift re-recording of Love Story // Fearless Taylor's Verison; thoughts

The time has finally come for the re-recording of Love Story to come out. If you don't know Taylor Swift's 2008 hit Love Story was released on the behalf of Taylor herself 13 or so years later. And she announced that her second studio album Fearless would be re-releasing on April 9th.

I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan, I do however really enjoy her 1989 and Reputation albums very much. But I have heard bits and pieces about the drama between her and her old record label, Big Machine Records.

Here is what I know (I do not know the full story), Scooter Braun who manages artists like Justin Bieber and Arianna Grande. I believe he managed her for many years. Which me being a Justin Bieber fan since 2012 I didn't know he was connected with her. But she recorded her first six albums (Fearless to Reputation) under Big Machine Records, Taylor left the label in 2018 and signed with Universal Music group (Which has artists like One Direction Jay-Z, Prince, and Lady Gaga just to name a few). Then started to release albums like Lover, Fork and Evermore under that label. Since her departure Scooter now had the rights over it.

Taylor was obviously not happy about that, she puts out a lengthy Tumblr post (The link is up top). To take a step back, this was around the American Music Awards in 2019 when she was awarded, "Artist of the Decade". The segment I'm going to quote is taking about how Scooter told her to not preform her older songs durning her performance when she was litteraly awarded such a big achievement (if that's the word, link to the performance is up top).

“Guys—it’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony,” ... “I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be rerecording my music before I’m allowed to next year.”

As someone who has seen mangeners / mangements basically taking advantage of their cleints all too well is obviously sad, but this is something that is on a whole other level. As someone who was born between 2000 and 2008, her old songs are very nastolgic and that could be why she wanted to play those songs durning such a special night. For fans who have been there since the start. But the fact that the higher ups are not letting her do it becuase of the whole re-recordings is once again sad.

She goes on to say,  “The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished. This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.”

This is a prime example of how corrupt the music industry really is. All of the mangers / thier teams just want to make a profit out of thier clients and disregard that thier clients are doing music becuase it's a passion, not a profit.

Taylor isn't the first nor the last artist who is a puppet in the industry and needs to be all hush and quiet. Example: 5 Seconds of Summer, band member Michael Clifford was under hot water as soon as CALM came out (I will not be discussing this topic further, becuase it may trigger some people) and thier mangement Modest! told them to be quiet, and the band basically went agaisnt their wishes and spoke out about the topic and threw Modest! basically under the bus for not letting them speak out about it. Louis Tomlinson and Syco Records is an another example (I will be doing a blog about it in the near future).

One thing I will always be mad about is Haylor, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift that's a PR stunt. (I will be explaining what is a PR stunt in another blog) Regardless if they loved each other or not you could tell they where put together becuase of marketing purposes. Durning thier time as a PR stunt (late 2012 - early 2013) Taylor was trying to break into the pop scene becuase she was known as a country artist. So I guess someone decided to put Taylor with someone who was apart of the biggest pop boybands of the early 2010's and beginning to reach their peak durning this time, Harry Styles from One Direction.

When they where a thing I was young and I didn't understand these marketing strategies so I bit into it. But now as I got older looking back now it was stunt to promote their albums. Here was the two dead give aways in my own personal opinion, Taylor Swift's first "pop" album is Red and that came out October 22nd 2012. One Direction released their sophomore album Take Me Home on November 9th 2012. 18 day inbetween each other. If the albums where months apart, then maybe yea it'll be believable. The second thing that was a dead give away in my eyes was how basically after the hype that comes when an album releases (first week sales, charts, a little bit of promos, etc.) the two separated. Again if they lasted until like middle of 2013 it would've been more believable then sperated straight after all of the hype.

Now we talk about the re-recordings, in Nov. 2020 she could finally start re-recording her first six albums (Fearless-Reputation). Of course she can't re-record and re-releass them in a span of a year. But the fact that this door is slowly opening to her is amazing. She finally has the control that SHE wanted for the past decade. I will never stop saying this, artist should have 100% control of what they do, music should be a creative playground not a tycoon or a way for big companies who are already weathly and have so much power to begin with to have more power.

What she's doing with re-releasing Love Story yesterday, Feb. 12th was the right step to take. I also saw people on Tik Tok mentioning this and this is amazing, if you take a look at the new Fearless cover. There's no name of any kind, it's just her. And if you look at the credits and look for the record label (I believe it is) it says, "Taylor Swift". You may say to yourself, "Isn't that the whole point in these Taylor Verisons?" Yes, but it also shows that she's doing all of the re-recordings for her fans not because of profit.
