== David Jenkins ==
Okay so I apologize all-- somehow I missed that all the David Jenkins pics going around were NEW. I don't know why but I thought they were from a while back. My taxes brain really has me messed up. So these are from the past 2-4 days. Now it makes a lot of sense too as to why everyone's been honking louder! You can see him there at WB Studios, and yes that is him with OFMD fan-stickers on his laptop.

== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies. I hope you all are having a fresh start to your week. I've heard good news and rough news, so I truly hope if you have good news, it stays that way and if you have bad news, it looks up for you!
I really am so glad to see people clowning though. I know no one wants to get their hopes up, but it's nice to see that kind of energy flowing through the fandom again. We deserve a little treat of hope once in a while and it warms my heart how much people are running with it.
Hope is the dream lovelies. All things spring from hope. Don't give up on it. Even when things feel the worst, hope is what keeps us going.
I have so much love for you friends. I know we have our bad days, but I hope you know that no matter what happens me and the crew will send you love. We love sharing this space with you.
Rest well lovelies.
Some quotes about hope tonight:
"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."
- Emily Dickinson
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==
Sorry, tonight's theme is just... this interview because every time I see it it makes me smile so horrendously huge. I love them so much and certainly together like this. The goofy bastards.

I've gone and created a Discord Group Chat JUST for our Watch Parties! We can just chat in there for any future Watch Parties we might have. 😊
So, if anyone is interested, and wants the link to the Group and would like to watch and discuss the Jimmy Kimmel LIVE show tonight, feel free to DM me, and I'll provide you with the link! 😊
Hey y'all this is kinda spontaneous, but I'm gonna watch a short Korean BL show called Tinted With You over in my Kosmi if anyone wants to join https://app.kosmi.io/room/elmahj

Today's Wee John Wonday featured our Pirate Queen Ruibo Qian! Please check the video out on Kristian's Instagram!
Don't have time to watch? There are some highlights below the pic!
Some Highlights:
Anapela couldn't make it tonight sorry!
Ruibo is really into perfume like Kristian
Ruibo and Anapela really clicked on set!
Ruibo still has hope regarding s3!
“DO I wanna smell like a haystack with a cow dung hidden inside of it?” - Ruibo
Ruibo would be interested in polycule, Zheng may not be
Kristian has an announcement coming out tomorrow - 📚
Apparently the last episode, when they were all walking out in the colonial outfits, it was SUPER LONG and a lot of it was cut.
Qian means money = so Ruibo is literally the Money Bitch
== Con O'Neil ==
One of our wonderful crew-mates was out and about and ran into none other than THE Con O'Neill! Thank you so much for sharing this meet up with us @queerjolras!

Our friend @cosmosart-s posted a lovely picture of David for the 2 year anniversary OFMD anniversary and David ran it on his IG Story!
One thing I've noticed a few people mentioning was the "3" hearts. Not to clown/honk too hard, but just something to think about <3

== Love Notes ==
Hello lovelies :) It was an action packed day for sure (as Mondays usually are). That being said I took some time to do some stuff today I've been meaning to, so I apologize for not taking more time on love notes!
Please know me and your crew-mates are thinking of you and hoping for all the best things for you in the upcoming days.
I know it's short but here are some reminders / love notes in other people's words for today/tomorrow. <3
Stay Strong Lovelies! Whatever you're up to, you're gonna make it through, I believe in you!
== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==
Yeahhhhh no gifs tonight luvs, I am running late and I can't stop looking at these still pictures anyway, so here you are <3
Last June, Alix Kermes (who played Lily) joined us to watch the backdoor pilot of “Windward Circle,” otherwise known as the Season 3 episode “Here Come the Son,” and she couldn’t stop raving about how amazing Milo Ventimiglia was with her 9 year old self. 🥰💕 He’ll always be Jesse to us now.
Find a lot more fandom content (including Gilmore Girls!) in our magazine!
listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN
I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.
