I feel down about lack of artistic skill. So many IF authors are knocking it out of the park with their UI designs and promo images, and I'm here getting stressed out on canva struggling to even make a nice looking simple "game updated" banner with text on a background. are there guides anywhere on how to make these banners? are they really needed to get people's attention? (they feel like they are... the most popular blogs seem to have loads of shiny visuals that are really pretty but I just don't have the skills right now...)

Hey Anon!

Don't feel down...

This is really not something that happens overnight. Sure, some artistic talent will help start you off, but it is still a skill. One you can learn. But like all skills, it takes time to nourish and make it flourish. (and that amount of time needed will depend on the person.)

Also, Graphic Design is a very broad field. In the IF community, it will often embrace two different things: the UI, which requires learning a programming language (CSS) and the assets (including promo images), which requires learning about aesthetics, a graphic program, etc... These are very different skills to learn.

So you will make mistakes along the way, everyone does. It takes quite a lot of trial and error (with a lot of error) to get it right, then to get it right and quick. That's part of the learning process.

And, I can't lie and pretend innate artistic talent won't take a big part of making this process easier. Knowing how things should look, nicely or easy on the eye, is very helpful to make the whole process faster. As well as having studied those skills before starting making IF content (like in school/uni, or having learned by spending decades in a fandom making those weird little edits and banners for your forum signature that you spent hours making sparkle....). Or, in some cases, the author was able to get assets directly from someone with those skills (as paid content).

I don't know where you are on your IF journey, but don't despair. I know it's hard not to compare yourself to other authors and their skills (I know I do that, and have to remind myself not to do it), but you don't know how far they are on their graphic design journey. Maybe they struggled like you, once.

I know I did...

... and I still do!

This post is getting quite long, so I'll share my lil bit of experience below.

I've been on the internet for a while (when Forums were the thing), and learned a lot of those graphic stuff through graphic design-help forums (some where full on forums, others were just sub-channels, but you got to learn from someone with knowledge, that was cool). Also didn't realise then the use of images. I def used copyrighted images when I shouldn't have... the early naughties were a different times (and so was I, being 12 and all...)

But, before starting IF, I hadn't touched Photoshop or other Graphic Design program for about... 15 years? I had lost a lot of skills in that time. I had to relearn a lot of things (as well as learn some new ones, CSS had never been in my wheelhouse).

It used to take me hours to make banners and the such. I fawned over other creators' ability to make gif (which is doable on Canva), or have the perfect aesthetics to match their project (and their drawing skills...). For CRWL, I spent days on Canvas editing the main banner, because it didn't look right enough. I've re-done that one a couple of times, and I am still not happy with it.

Even after almost two years of doing this regularly, I still struggle. I can spend days/weeks on a UI to make it look nice and have the right palette, only to realise when it's published that the sizing messes up for some people. And I still spend hours on those Coming Soon posters (and then forget I have night light on my devices, so it messes with the colours). And have we talked about the time spent trying to find the perfect picture to use (on copyright free websites)? Though for smaller projects, I might slap two things together and call it a day. You can't go wrong with a simple colour background and a special font.

the morning after debrief: (personal life below cut):

last night i went out with my best friend (let's call her Ken) and our friend. I was sitting in my bed planning out KYH and Lovestruck, being a diligent writer then my friend Star (that's what i'll call her) calls me at 6pm, telling me how she just got dumped by her ugly (now ex) bf. I was like oh hell no, we are going out!! The groupchat is formed. this is whole new group to go out with. so i get ready and start think about how my ex boyfriend hasn't texted me since tuesday. last night was to make our 3 ex boyfriends jealous. I go pick up drinks to pregame and still thinking about my ex (naming him Jay). i get to Star's apartment before Ken got there. me and star update each other since it's been months since we hungout. i tell her about Jay, like everything about our history, updated her how i slept with my friend and i'm kinda in the talking stage with a guy in an open relationship. she tells me everything with he ugly bf, and how she's making her new roster of hoes. Ken gets there and she's really excited to go out. I declare we all need pictures because oh my god we are so hot. I was the first one to go and my pics came out so good. (here they are, shameless insta-promo). i can't shut tf up about Jay and how much i wanted to see him again. everyone telling me to just text him. and i always deny that anyone wants to see me

we get an uber to the first club, it was dead for a friday night, Ken goes home because she had work in the morning. Star and I go to another bar, I am drunk at this point and so is star. we order a round of drinks. then the bartenders start pouring shots into people's mouths, i do the shot. and then they brought out champagne and started pouring it into my mouth, it was actually reallly good. star and i are talking about boys and then show her Jay and our texts. She takes my phone and sends a text for me. Now even a second goes by and he says "just got home you should head over" i look at star and show her the texts. and she's like oh we getting you over there. i start to sober myself up in the bathroom, and drinking a vitamin water. we get an uber back the apartment and star is texting one of her hoes to come over, i freshened up before heading downtown to Jay's.

i show up at his door, knock, the door swings open to him. we both say 'hey', he pulls me through the door and pushes me against the wall as soon as i stepped through the threshold. it was so hungry and oh my goddddd i swore that i was getting drunk again but off of him. he smells soooo goood, and he's a personal trainer ;) so he picks me up and takes me to his room. he sets me on the bed, and just looks at me. I could feel myself blush. "are you instagram posts about me?" jay was smirking, still just raking his eyes over my body. i panic for a sec and quickly lie and say that i'm just hopeless romantic and i just like love. he buys it for now. we have sex, both of us tired and talk until we fall asleep.

he helds me in his arms the whole night, i laid there for about 2 hours and just looked at his face, remembering how he used to look when we were younger. i get hit with feelings that i am trying to suppress, because i'm trying to be causal with him. trying not to scare him away. i fall sleep eventually, listening to him breath and snore just a little. he's pulling me in closer anytime he moves in his sleep.

i wake up to him kissing my neck, and caressing my legs. no words spoken when we both start making out and having a good session of morning sex, we lay in bed for hours just talking, i think my favorite conversation we had was talking about sleeping with friends exes. he was like "techincally that what we are doing," refering to my two exboyfriends that he was friends with, and how he's two of my friends ex's too. then i said "well and we are two exes seeing each other", i tell him how my friends know about him, he was like "you talk about me?" with a smile on his face, and then having sex until we both had to get ready for our days. I had to go home and get ready to see my friends for a debrief. he had to go visit his dad and go workout.

My late review of the new digimon film. Overall I really enjoyed it, but it did have some issues. TW for mentions of child abuse as that was a central theme to one character's backstory.

Pros:

-The return of several of the OG voice cast. Brian Donovan is so great as Davis, and Steven Prince returning as Ken and Veemon is perfect.

-New versions of 02 songs sound fantastic.

-Updated graphics, especially digivolution sequences looked great.

-A simple plot to follow that expands the digimon anime lore and creates more questions that we may never get an answer to.

-The plot is not afraid of dealing with darker themes, namely Lui's childhood abuse. Both visually and emotionally, this is a painful theme in the film. It didn't treat the audience as children and met darker issues head on.

-The bonds between Digimon and Tamer were on full display and handled well.

-The film didn't toss out the epilogue to the 02 series and leaned heavily into the digidestined following careers paths that match the series finale.

-Battle animations were smooth and vibrant.

-Lui and Ukkomon are wonderful new characters with depth (I prefer them over anyone introduced in Tri. I didn't watch Kizuna.)

Cons:

-This is a short film of about 1 hour 30 minutes. The first 3-4 minutes of the film were shown early through various promos, and these scenes were unchanged in the film. So nothing new there to watch. (They showed the first 2 minutes of the film at NYCC during the digimon panel.)

-An overwhelming portion of the film is setting up Lui's tragic backstory. In a longer film this may have been okay, but in a 90 minute film, this used up so much time there was no breathing room before they had to pivot to the films climax.

-The final battle was short, and very little fighting was actually done. I think the original movie "Our War Game" had more fighting in a shorter time frame.

-The short run time didn't benefit from several scenes that dragged out in silence. They were supposed to build up the tense atmosphere and severity of the situation, but it felt like padding and should've been dumped when the film needed to move.

-The 02 cast felt like they took a backseat to Lui most of the film. Even the final battle had them feeling like background characters. Unless you were Davis/Ken/Veemon/Yolei, the movie didn't give you much attention.

-Cody did bog all the entire movie, so sorry if you were a Cody fan. He got shafted the most.

-The replacement of several VAs was VERY noticeable. They weren't...awful, but you couldn't ignore they weren't your favorite OG voices. Wormmon was the most tolerable voice replacement, but damn I missed his original VA. Stingmon didn't sound right either.

-The worst voice though? Armadillomon. What. In. The. Actual. Fuck. Did they do to Armadillomon? I know his original VA passed away, but they didn't even try to find a comparable replacement. Where was his Texas southern accent? He sounded like a fucking squeaky toy that was so high pitched my ears were ringing.

-The "resolution" to Lui's childhood abuse I don't feel was handled well. His mother beats him til he's purple, locks him outside in the dead of winter for so long his hands and feet begin to frostbite, and they turn around at the end of the film by having Lui travel back in time and tell his mother (acting as a stranger bc she wouldn't recognize her adult son, (also because Ukkomon killed her(?) that 'hey, it's not nice to abuse your son bc he loves you. I know you're stressed out, but please be nice." And this shit pep talk was supposed to change his mother's entire attitude and change the future?? Like they actually said stress was the reason she beat her son until he was bleeding, not because she was y'know a fucking abuser or anything, and a 30 second pep talk from a stranger was enough to change her behavior. WTF.

-Ukkomon transformed into some fucking Eldritch being and it really did fuck all for most of the battle except some tentacle attacks.

-Again, the final battle was lacking in action and ended very fast. Imperialdramon is just that effective! He finished Ukkomon off in one attack.

-Hi Angewomon!...Aaand she's been defeated in 10 seconds. Bye Angewomon! Sorry if you like Angewomon.

-The final battle and Lui's time travel end up rewriting the past so the majority of the movie setting up Lui's tragic childhood doesn't matter anymore bc it never happened?

Favorite parts:

-Anytime Davis and Veemon were on screen. MY BOYS 💙

-The Davis/Yolei/Ken polycule vibes that permeated this film.

-Davis/Ken shippers were eating good!

-Yolei teasing Davis and Ken for flirting.

-Wormmon's deadpan face in the intro scene is its own fucking emotion.

-Lui and Ukkomon are, again, great characters.

-Ukkomon's arm wiggles!

-The scene where Ukkomon reveals he's been manipulating Lui's parents as puppets to make him happy (it's implied Ukkomon may have killed Lui's parents and is controlling their corpses to make them good people, but it's never made clear.)

-The cameos of the World Tour arc digidestined and WILLIS IS THAT YOU? AND TERRIERMON AND LOPMON HOLY SHIT

-The baseball bat scene with Lui and Ukkomon. My theater audience let out a collective OH SHIT when Lui pulled out the bat and we were all sure he was gonna beat Ukkomon to death.

-You're telling me Lui hit the digivice with the bat so hard, and it flew back at him with such velocity that it destroyed his eye?! What the fuck are these digivices made of?

-Patamon is so dumb I love that flying potato.

-The scene using footage from Diaboromons Revenge Holy Shit! I feel like that movie is practically lost footage in the west.

-The biggest threat to the world was not Eldtritch Ukkomon. It was Ukkomon creating so many digimon to give to every person on the planet that it would throw the planet into utter chaos because the population would explode and infrastructure would fail immediately. And it was all so Lui would have new digidestined friends.

About Damn Time *Remington Leith One Shot*

A/N: What follows is smut about Remington Leith from Palaye Royale I saw them recently with Yungblud and they were amazing and I’m in love so here you go I know its been five years since I updated and this doesn’t necessarily mean I’m back but here you go here is something

Word Count: 2,353

I sighed to myself and rolled over again. It was almost four thirty in the morning and I wasn’t able to fall asleep. I had been trying and failing for the last two and a half hours. Tonight was just one of those nights.

With another frustrated sigh I sat up, “hey google turn on the bedroom light,” I called quietly into the darkness.

With a quick okay and a flash the overhead light in my room came on. I searched first for my phone which in my tossing and turning had gotten lost in my blanket. I found it and decided to scroll Instagram. The first image set that came up was that of my friend and roommate Remington. He and his brothers are in a band and had recently done a photo shoot for some up coming promo they had planned.

The photo set was of him in a plaid skirt shirtless goofing off in a pool. The first photo of him looking down at the camera I had to admit was rather attractive. Don’t get me wrong he was basically my best friend but I wasn’t blind he was basically perfect.

There was a knock at my door a subtle tap that pulled me out of my thoughts. Thoughts that had been running rampant lately teasing me with what could be if I was willing to take a chance. Thoughts that showed to me only the good out come not the most likely outcome. The one where I ruin a friendship and make living here weird for the both of us.

“Come in,” I call shaking my head to clear it quickly before Rem steps in. He’s shirtless and in just his black boxers and gray sweats. Sweats that hung low enough to expose the deep v by his hips and the top of his boxers.

“What are you doing up,” he asked rubbing his eyes. I responded with a shrug of my shoulders and tossed my phone to the side making sure to lock it first to avoid his prying eye seeing himself plastered on my screen. “Well since you’re awake do you mind if I hang out here I can’t sleep either?” He asked already making his way to my bed.

“Sure,” I said making room for him on the right side of the bed. This wasn’t an unusual thing for the two of us we usually hung out when either of us couldn’t sleep. Having Rem as a roommate was interesting to say the least. Him and his brothers spent a lot of time touring so sometimes we could go months without seeing each other. This was actually Rem’s second day back after a brief European tour.

“Are you still jet lagged?” I asked not sure how long something like that might last for him.

“A bit but mostly I’ve just got a lot on my mind,” he said with a tired shrug.

“Oh yeah like what?” I asked laying down and turning to face him.

“I dunno, just stuff,” he said shrugging again before sliding down into the same position I was in.

I was on my back with my head turned to face him and he was also on his back head turned to face me. We laid there shoulder to shoulder in silence for a moment before I spoke, “You know you can tell me anything,” I said softly reaching out a hand to brush his hair off his forehead. His normal spiky hair was a slept in mess standing up in some places and across his forehead in others.

He grabbed my hand and laced his fingers with mine gently. It was moments like this moments when it was just us two quiet no one else in the world knowing that made my imagination run wild. If we could stay like this if we could just be us for even a little while then maybe I could give in. Give in to my every urge and instinct be with him in the one way I really wanted to.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked his hand dropping mine to mimic my earlier actions brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes. His warm skin brushed against mine sending a chill down my spine.

“You,” I admitted giving him a warm smile behind my words.

“What about me?” He asked his voice low and quiet.

“Your lips,” I mumbled glancing at his lips then his eyes. I guess I made the decision to go with my imagination and hope for the best. This was a conversation we had had multiple times in my head. I only hoped he got his side of the imaginary script and would play along.

His lips pulled into a smirk before he spoke, “what about my lips?”

I hesitated for a second before continuing to speak, “just wondering what they might feel like pressed against mine.”

“Why don’t we find out?” He questioned shifting his position to lay on his side. Was this really happening was I about to kiss Remington? He leaned over me his face inches from mine breath fanning over my face.

I held my breath not moving for fear of making the wrong move. He inches closer his lips pressing gently to mine. My mind began to swim and when my breathing came back it was heavy. I felt Remington begin to pull away knowing the soft gentle kiss was about to end I shuffled up pressing my lips closer to his deepening the kiss. His brief movements away from me now forgotten he pressed his lips meeting mine fully the gentle kiss becoming more heated.

Remington broke the kiss and pulled back his breathing as heavy as mine. Before I could make another move he pressed his lips back to mine and I brought my hand to his face to hold him there. I parted my lips slowly and Rem took the cue to press his tongue against mine. I let my hand trail into his hair gripping it tightly in my fist.

Remington let out a groan and I moved back onto the pillows pulling him with me. His hands found my hips and I parted my legs so he could lay on top of me. His hands pushed up my top but we didn’t break the kiss to remove it he just explored the exposed skin. One of his hands grazed over my breast and it was my turn to groan into the kiss. “Fuck Rem, I want you,” I whined quietly against his lips.

“Are you sure?” He whispered back his eyes searching mine.

“Yes,” I assured him.

A smile broke out across his face, “god you dont know how long I’ve waited to hear you say that.”

He proceeded to pull my shirt over my head and pulled his pants down. I pulled my shorts down leaving the both of us in our underwear. Before I could get anxious about being half naked in front of my friend his lips met mine and shut down any insecurity I could have had. His lips were rough this time eager for more. They didn’t stay on mine long they soon found my neck kissing sucking and biting all the right spots. “Mm fuck Remington,” I moaned tugging at his hair again. His hands found their way to my panties. Slowly and teasingly he started to rub me through the thin lace fabric causing me to swear again.

The contact was good but no where near enough. I bucked my hips up begging him silently for more. “No no, love,” he chided quietly, “I’ll be taking my time here… enjoying every second,” he spoke his fingers doing a little walk up my center to my belly button. His teeth came down on my collar bone just as his fingers went back to rubbing me through the now damp fabric of my underwear. I couldn’t help but gasp as the circles he rubbed got harder.

I reached down quickly pushing away his hand and discarded my panties over the side of the bed before he could stop me or say anything. “Someone’s very eager,” he said with a laugh now admiring my fully naked form.

“Shut up and kiss me,” I said pulling his face to mine and pressing our lips together for what felt like the hundredth time that night. I wanted him so bad it hurt and I wasn’t happy with his teasing. I wrapped a leg around him and pushed him over so I was on top all the while keeping his lips locked with mine.

I rotated my hips into his loving the sounds he made, “fuck, (Y/N),” he swore and moved us again so he was back on top. His hands found my wrists and he pinned them above my head using one hand to hold them and the other to trail my body. “Is this what you want?” He questioned as his fingers danced nearer to my core. I couldn’t speak I felt so turned on I just wanted him to touch me to do something. I nodded my head slowly keeping my eyes on his, “use your words,” he demanded his fingers stopping just above where I needed him.

“Yes, touch me please,” I choked out. With a smirk he let his fingers continue down to my clit rubbing in slow deliberate circles. I let out a quiet moan enjoying the pleasure but needing more.

“I love seeing you like this,” he spoke quietly his lips finding my neck again. His fingers danced harder and faster over my sensitive center and a wave of pleasure corded through me from the sensations. His movements ceased and he dipped one finger down into me causing my eyes to screw shut at the new feeling.

One finger quickly became two and he moved them in a swift rhythm. I was nothing short of a moaning mess. “I’m I’m gonna… gonna,” I mumbled out not being able to finish my thought.

“Not till I tell you,” he growled slowing down and pulling out. He took his fingers and pressed them to my lips. I opened my mouth letting him slip his fingers passed my lips licking them clean. He pulled his fingers out of my mouth and pulled down his boxers. He lined himself up and entered me slowly. I moaned at the feeling of him stretching me. I arched my back my chest pressing to his. He groaned in my ear and let out a sigh as he sank in fully. We both waited and I held my breath waiting for myself to adjust.

When I finally adjusted and could breath again he started to move. I moaned quietly my nails finding his back as he picked up the pace.

We both moaned and swore as we got closer. Slowly but surly I got closer and closer, “ugh rem please please I’m so close,” I moaned and scratched at his back.

“Not yet,” he breathed pulling out completely, my inevitable release was delayed again. I let out a frustrated sigh “turn over,” he commanded.

I did as told and turned over my hips and ass in the air. Slowly I felt him sink back in and the pleasure picked up again. The heat between my thighs felt like it could burn us both. By this point I was dripping wet and way beyond ready for my orgasm to take me over but he had other thoughts. He drilled into me placing one hand on my back for leverage the other on my hip to help rock me back into him. Over and over with each thrust the pleasure increased and I thought about not saying anything this time but I couldn’t hold back, “oh ah fuck Rem.”

“Not yet beautiful,” he spoke pulling out of me again. I wanted to scream I wanted to fight but I was getting so exhausted from the constant denial of release that I could barely breath. Rem turned me back over a smirk on his face, “I wanna see your face,” he said pulling me up onto his lap.

He kissed me gently a sweet kiss compared to the previous heat and passion we had been sharing. Slowly while his lips were preset to mine he slid into me again. I broke the kiss and let out a loud moan. “Fu-uck Remington,” I called and I heard him chuckle slightly.

“You look so good like this,” he cooed, “my cock deep inside you your head thrown back just beautiful.”

“Ah fuck fuck fuck,” I cried I was so close I could taste it this time and if he denied me again I don’t think I could take it. “Please please please Rem,” I begged.

“Please what baby girl tell me what you want.”

“Please let me cum, please please I need to cum,” I cried my nails digging into his shoulders.

“Let it go baby,” he said finally letting me give in. I shook and writhed on top of him my orgasm pulsating through me.

“Ah fuck,” he called releasing into me. His thrusting slowed to a stop and the two of us tried to catch our breath. I rested my head on his shoulder and let out a laugh, “What?” He asked pulling my face up to look at him.

“That was… intense,” I spoke with another laugh, “I can’t believe we just did that.”

“About damn time,” he said laughing with me.

I pulled myself out of his grasp and reached for my shirt that was on the floor. I pulled both my shirt and panties on and threw myself back down onto the pillows. Rem pulled on his boxers and laid next to me. “I think I can sleep now?” I mumbled curling myself into his chest.

“Good, me too,” He said wrapping his arm around me.

“Hey google turn off the bedroom light,” I called into the now too bright room. With a quick okay the light turned off leaving both of us in the dark.

alright all that’s left now is to hit post and

*record scratch*

oh wait, what? whats that? i can't reblog with more content on the main post? it’s technically too big?!

oh well well well then okay. hey :leans in close: did i… ever crash your app with the op post? i wanted to apologize for that. truly sorry. the truth is, the original post also crashes my app! wild! yes, well, as big of a fan of push media as i am i’m going to have to break away from the original post to get the job done this year but if you’re new here and don’t know about the eye theory please for the love of god click the below link to read through the original. it’s required reading.

(click for the op)

…

yes ok. welcome back! did i make you dizzy? jeepers my eyes do hurt, just after putting together this update! but i come bearing gifts…! frankincense, myrrh, gold, and a *plump* 2021 eye theory update for the remaining bakers dozen or so of us left hanging in this manger… because apparently that’s just the way things will be 😘 again, i’m far past proving this thing and more into sharing, yeah, sharing the fun memories over the past year living with this theory so that’s what i’ll do. and this requires more than the ten picture limit so in lieu of that i will be updating only once but with links to each finding. my demarcation is the same as last year:

so without further ado, here comes our…

2021 year in review

JANUARY

★ kimby posting the eye mirror thing at the beginning of the year (which i posted about at the end of the last update)

★karlie liked a tweet (a rarity at the time) from henry hall promoting his new album… that had an eye and the number 13 on the album cover.

-we found another great photo match example

☆ we noticed something up with a new carolina herrera ad that ended up showing up again later in the year

☆ we noticed taylor covering her eye during rep tour while singing even in my worst lies you saw the truth in me

-we noticed an oft forgotten appearance of the evil eye ring in the rep promo material, photos of her on the beach

FEBRUARY

☆ we found a potential easter egg in the end game mv

★ one of the lyric videos for fearless TV had a fun synching moment ..that taylor then put in her instagram stories

★ taylor posted a bleachella era pic of her and the haim sisters that had the sisters covering eyes with their hoodies, and then honest to god this is just one of those thing i can’t quite conscionably explain but there are two boxes of pizzas being held and the cheese only pizza looks like the “blank” of the two pizzas and it’s to the right of the picture

★ kayda and kai did some eye funny business

MARCH

★ the grammys… so, taylor’s performance included choreography that covers her right side eye along with the line “guess i should have known from the look on your face” and i know this is one of the things people particularly do not like but i’m such a sucker for prop comedy: i think the shape of the lean-to cabin itself is the shape of an eye and also the belted waist part of her dress looks like an eye, i said what i said

-and this can’t help but feel like chance, but, we got this red carpet press photo of her grammy covering her eye

-something also feeling serendipitous, karlie got papped by some eye graffiti

APRIL

-The Vault reveal left me wanting to get my eyes checked 😂

☆ we realized one could make the argument that there’s a eye isolated by the mask on her male counterpart in willow, and that the mask has a drooping daisy embroidered on it

-i got the chance to talk a little bit more about my thoughts on the editing that went on with the mert and marcus rep photoshoot photos, and my thoughts on computer graphic manipulation as it relates to other things, in particular lead time

★ taylor seemed to have more fun with synching up the fearless tv clip to music 🙈

★ taylor’s mother’s day merch included a postcard with a daisy and the lyric “i love you for giving me your eyes”

MAY

-not for nothing, austin posted a picture of him at the Oculus building in NYC (oculus being a word that means eye, austin being someone who rarely updates his instagram these days)

★ karlie got back in the saddle with posting an eye out of frame

★ some preview photos of karlie’s green adidas collection were released, and they included this amazing shot

and wouldnt ya know it she made it her profile pic after the collection release

JUNE

★ more kayda funny business (i feel like there were a lot more of these but i wasn’t able to keep track)

★ karlie got papped wearing a prada jacket with a print of a one eyed beach babe

-taylor mixed up her words during a thank you speech while accepting an award and said “she helped me to edit my eyes” which i mean i don’t think it was intentional but it certainly made my year 🙈

★ karlie wore this versace blazer that inexplicably has a hole cut out of it to the right?? which was made even more meaningful given the fact that i had been spiraling over the tie with the hole in it in the lwymmd video a few months prior idk 😆

★ the how long do you think it’s gonna last album was announced with an… eye collage… 🙈🙈 and kept the promo coming into july with eye cutout moments like this

JULY

★ then the Renegade music video was released and it was just chock a block with eye manipulation! singled out eyes, taylor covering her right side eye with her hands, with her hair, the eyes on her face cut out and zoomed in on. like, i’m sorry, it’s 2021 and we are really doing this ladies???

-and i came up with a funny (/emotional)

-karlie met with schiaparelli in paris, who had just come out with a collection full of gilded eyes among other body parts

★ karlie blocked an eye for estée lauder —a true pastime— and thus began the formalization of the tradition of me waking up to karlie having posted something ocular to instagram

AUGUST

☆ adam rippon posted a little ode to karlie’s “looking camp right in the eye 👁 ” moment, which normally id just chalk up to it having become a meme but at the same time, bobby berk liked the post and they were both in the yntcd mv, so it’s sorta amusing

★ karlie posts “filed under baking inspo” moodboard which included a pic of a face made of food with one eye 🥴🥴🥴 like i’m sorry, is this not proof of acknowledgement 😆

★ karlie posts a photoset of her in workout clothes and she’s covering the left side eye in a lot of the pics

★ karlie wore some eye-like rain and sunshine earrings from two jewelers that also make custom lover’s eye jewelry

SEPTEMBER

★ taylor covered an eye on the tiktok

-i noticed that each of karlie’s adidas collections had their own moments

-also like this is simply an act of god but somehow taylor and karlie got a photo taken at the 2014 met gala where karlie is standing to the right next to a woman with an eye purse…?

☆we noticed two things about the UPS commercial she did during rep era

★ karlie hid an eye while getting ready for the met gala which was the start to a crazy crazy day here on kaylor tumblr

☆ someone kindly pointed out to me that birch feat. taylor swift just as names of trees goes is also sus 🥴

-we listed up some of the possibly eye theory -aligned taymoji

★ karlie posted a promo clip of her designing her met dress at carolina herrera and it had an eye moment

-taylor has sort of established winks as a Taylor’s Version easter egg gesture so i don’t really count things like this in the grand scheme of things but i can’t help but feel this wink was exaggerated in post which would mean the eye could have been edited, and for that i’ll mention it

-this is just an it’s a small world moment having to do with researching the band of outsiders brand

★ taylor using an eye covered pic of shania twain on her tiktok

★ karlie blocking eyes again in a photoshoot make that two

OCTOBER

✦★✶ karlie went to mert alas’ gin release party in paris I REPEAT she went to the party being held by the guy who took the rep album photoshoot photos aka the guy who took the actual eye theory photo and not only did she get a pic with him, she drank out of the gin glasses that had an eye like pattern cut into them???

★ karlie woke me up again and chose violence

-i forget how i ran into this but it’s this old photoshoot of karlie in a daisy full body suit with her arms and head in the shape of an eye idk lol

★ karlie posted a photoset with some eye blocking moments going on

NOVEMBER

-in a moment of meta, karlie got the chance to post a pic of bert and ernie to her instagram stories as she was also a part of the WSJ innovators issue

☆ taylor’s grammy dresses went on display and the waist fabric looked even more like an eye so sue me!

★ karlie really made it christmas morning every morning 🥴

★ RED TV lyric videos also got a moment

★ the IBYTAM video had us all reeling for plenty of reasons but i made sure to have my fun …kinda cool how it fits though 😂 this stood out to a lot of us and this too

-it’s the little things

-blame it on the vault crest and red dresses but i allowed myself to lean in to the crazy a bit more than usual and tbh i had the best time with it

☆ i had a thought about So It Goes as it relates to rep tour

-The Missing Eye Puzzle Piece it turned out that the missing capital one red bundle puzzle piece was simply missing, and it has been found, **but** i had an amazing couple of weeks imagining the ARG possibilities. oh and i still love that the right side eye is the 11th puzzle piece across, 8 rows down (karlie numbers)

DECEMBER

★ karlie posted again blockin an eye 😂

★ shes so good at finding an opportunity

★ karlie wearing a sweatshirt with an eye on it because why not i guess 🙈

-surely coincidental but i did laugh at where her music choice in this post led me

★ and it turned out the eye glassware at the mert alas gin release party ended up being used in the promo photos for the stuff

★karlie did a ‘comeback’ -esque spread for WSJ and she delivered

-add this to the list of potential cross-media tie in opportunities that surely weren’t intentional but i would point to in terms of what she could potentially do should she want to bring back this level of easter egging for reputation TV

★ waking up again to some uncanny carolina herrera hijinks

★ karlie blocking an eye again 🙈

-i talked a little bit about the evil eye ring making it’s appearances with the angel wing ring

★ like i said, this karlie post waiting for me when i woke up thing, it became a morning ritual

-there was a red tv album print mishap… istg the way i moved (is this what the kids say)

★ taylor blocked an eye in her new years reel

so there you have it, folks! 2021, a kaylor year that had me throwing my hands up and deciding to bend with the wind and roll with the punches… paid dividends?! i included the ephemera (the winks and out of frames) just because i see them as a sustainable avenue for the dreary new parent, but all these aside it still blows my mind how many distinctly significant things happened in conjunction with the theory this year and i hope very very deeply and earnestly that each and every one of you may have had the chance to crack a smile or two as well 😌

its weird… seeing karlie and mert photographed gave me this lavish sense of… coming full circle! but 🥰 who knows what next year will bring. what can i say, as if it was my greco-roman destiny, i know i will always beat the drum for this theory if they will have me. eye can’t help myself!

have a happy new year🥳

2022 Megaman Summer Fanart Contest Results! (Part 1)

I will try to keep the dialogue short and sweet, but you know it’s hard. And I’m a little rushed in posting this, so apologies for anything that I did not proofread well. Hopefully I did not screw up any of the links. Thank you to all who participated, and hope you all can enjoy and heap loads of praise on everyone’s creations!

Hey, I did my own promo art for the first time in forever! I’ll post more on that later. This is more about you guys, first.

This will be broken up into 2 posts, due to the amount of entries in the first category. This post will just focus on Category 1. See Part 2 for Category 2 and 3.

I actually do have updates to one participant’s entries, but because it happened as I was writing this up, I have not have had the time to edit them in and reupload things. (Which had no effect on judging or these results) So expect a possible update to these posts late tonight after I get off work, which you can check out tomorrow.

Again, the top 3 who placed will be announced first, followed by the remaining entries in alphabetical order by alias. Winners will be contacted later on tonight, after I get home from work. Check your email/DMs tomorrow.

After the break, here are your winners and galleries full of art!

CATEGORY 1: Under my Nombrellan

For this category, participants were to draw a rainy day scene with the characters of their choice utilizing an umbrella or containing a character that was umbrella-based, like Nombrellan, in it.

And you guys made it really hard, because there were a lot of great ideas, and I probably made the theme too vague to judge it as well as I could with the others. Because I really had a time trying to place these. ^^; But that is also a testament to what you sent in.

After each entrant’s name, there will be a link to the entry, too, just in case the inserted external images don’t load for you. In the interest of not breaking your browser with the usual super-scrollingly-long post, entries consisting of more than 2 images will only have 2 embedded into this post, with links to each page separately.

[Full Cat. 1 gallery]

1.) @subzeroiceskater: [Entry]...is 23 pages, so I’m just going to link to the first page, and you can arrow to the right to view them all ($125 prize)

If you have been following my contests for the past few years, you know Subzeroiceskater has taken up the giant comic entry mantle from artists like Wintesm and Fenril Huayra. And those ambitions were well placed here, with a fabulous kids book-like story that will have you laughing and crying, with pages that are bright and cheery, and pages that are dark and sad. You incorporated multiple umbrella designs and characters, and told a very sweet story, which I feel like was your best yet.

2.) Zackxson: [Entry] ($75 prize)

For pure technical style, your painterly piece stood out and looks fantastic! The glow from the yellows on both Rock and Roll draw my eye in amongst the dreary rain, and while it can be seen as a smaller detail, the digitalization lines of the umbrella was a nice touch. Overall, real fun to zoom in on and look at in close detail. The realism and lighting are just really well done!

3.) VCampan: [Entry] ($50 Prize)

Defeat a Robot Master, and still have to sit there and listen to him spill his guts out to you after...well,...his guts have been blasted out. The emotions of the scene is what helped put this one here to me, as Rock is both being kind to his enemy, but seemingly not comfortable with it. And whatever Top is telling him sure got to that Nombrellan, who is welling up with tears, that it probably won’t be much different from the rain on the bots soon. The soft glow from the stage lights on them also turned out really nice.

And the remaining wonderful entries, in alphabetical order by alias:

@dahlia-the-nurd: [Entry]

Toad jiggly time! Jumping in puddles and splashing around in the mud is part of the fun of rainy days, and it looks like everyone is having a good time in this scene. Until Rock’s feet splash that mess on everyone, that is. The Nombrellan sure looks like it doesn’t want to get all dirty, and knows what’s coming! LOL Love that the siblings have matching froggy ponchos. Just a cute, fun scene!

@digitallyfanged: [Entry]

One of multiple entries featuring umbrellas as acts of kindness shielding furry friends, Volnutt has stumbled across a trio of kitties. The face on the one he’s holding is adorable. Not sure if it’s feeling uncomfortable being drenched or just being cuddled that close. LOL At least the claws aren’t out yet. Love the detail of the soaked cardboard box and how you drew the water dripping off of things like the cat’s tail and umbrella itself.

@dwn-059: [Entry]

Of all your entries, this was probably my favorite in terms of overall detail and composition, but since you placed in a different category, that kept this one from placing here. Chivalrous Sword Man might not have an umbrella himself, but that shield works just as well. The background is so pretty, definitely fitting of the opening of his stage. Even the smallest of detail was a focus, like the solo ladybug on the leafy blade. The Sheep Man umbrella design turned out really cute!

Jewel Maiden: [Entry]

Living together in a world where only Reploids exist, as it almost feels dream-like with the white fog around them. Very clever take combining Zero’s Z-saber and Iris’ gem in your umbrella design, it definitely stood out as unique! The cobblestone path looks wonderful as well as they take their stroll.

Marquelle Power: [Entry]

In the digital world, it must be nice to be able to have an umbrella sit above you without having to use your hands to hold it, as Toadman illustrates. Very cute pic, and reminiscent of his battle with him on the lilypad. The tall stands of water grass drawn in the background really frame him in nicely.

Mattasaurs: [Entry]

Another fun splashing in puddles pic, this time without the dirtiness of mud, as Misora gets Subaru all soaked outside of school. Just don’t hit that Tel Tel with anything that will change the rain to snow. The way the water splatters turned out really good, as is your background work of the school gate/wall. Subaru’s umbrella has a cute design with Toadman.EXE and the lightning bolts, while still incorporating a little shooting star into it.

Miralie: [Entry]

I really thought this was minimalistic-ly beautiful, telling a story without showing too much. Iris is obviously excited to see Zero outside of the frame, and it’s cutely funny to see the taller Zero’s heels lifting up like he was the one leaning in for a kiss with the shorter Iris. Fantastic job with the details of Valentine’s Day Iris’ dress, and I love how the lineart for her just curves and flows so well. Very pretty overall.

@nightopianfoxgirl: [Entry]

This scene with Mamoru and Serenade encountering a little birdy in the rain is very adorable, as is Mamoru’s froggy umbrella. I thought that was a very clever, yet subtle, design for the umbrella. Made me instantly think of the froggy trash can in EXE when I saw it. Also clever way to make use of Serenade’s scarf raiments to act like an umbrella to shield them from the rain. The way the water drips off of them turned out great as well. The pink hydrangeas in the background are pretty and add some cheer to a dreary day.

@papillonthepirate: [Entry]

Sunshowers are a wonderful thing to experience, and you brought some brightness and cheeriness to a dreary theme with the rainbow overhead breaking through the storms. The ‘lil Escaroo with an even tinier real snail friend is super cute. The shading work with your colored pencils, especially on Tornado Man, turned out really good!

Ryan Vogler: [Entry]

Only an evil genius would have an umbrella with a lightbulb on top of it. I would love to see this in animation action, as he thinks up a Robot Master that will surely defeat Mega Man this time, and the light above the umbrella just lights up super bright. Clever, and gave me a good laugh. The chaotic sketchiness of your linework is more noticeable zoomed in, but it really does reinforce the downpour of the rain in that way as well. That detail and style helped make the whole piece really unique, and I really liked it!

@stephodell: [Entry]

And finally, one more lone kitty in a cardboard box beside Enzan. The background detail with the huge amount of hydrangeas in bloom turned out very pretty, as did the little details like the blades of grass along the pooling water on the sidewalk. Having a clear umbrella lets that background stand out, and the ‘lil ghosty Blues hanging from it helps echo the transparency of it.

And once again, head here for Part 2 of the results.

Back to You | 14

Summary: He broke your heart, but you’d always love him. Two souls that not even the universe could tear apart, even if you wanted it to at times.

Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader x Timothee Chalamet

A/N: Yay I updated! I hope you guys like this one, I was stuck for a bit there but once I sat down and got to typing, I really finished it in one sitting. I was just planning on updating it bit by bit lol. Let me know what you guys think, Love you!!!!!!

Word count: 2,591

Prologue | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14

In a few short months of your movie premier with Timothee, you were finally able to release your double-release album, and the response was massive, to say the least. You'd been getting calls from different show hosts' upcoming awarding ceremonies. Still, you couldn't for life in you accept, all except for the Oscars, which your manager told you was a must since you'd be attending in the first place anyway and that performing at the Oscars was a big deal given that you also starred in films and shows.

You turned in bed, facing Timothee's sleeping face. He had been in town for a week now, back on a break from filming in Hungary. Then he'd be back to film in England in a couple of weeks. After your talk on your premiere night, it was to an agreement that whatever you had going on was just two people exploring and experiencing things with someone they had strong feelings for. There wasn't a need for a media circus to cover anything about you two except your movie.

You move his arm, placed it over your waist, and sit up slowly in bed, making sure not to stir Timothee. The jetlag must be shit. You stretched your arms in front of you, glancing at the clock that read 2:07 AM. You get up, grabbing Timothee's white shirt from the floor, and, putting it on, walking over to the bathroom. You looked at yourself in the mirror, touching some of the reddening parts of your neck courtesy of Timothee, and then you notice the toothbrushes… there were two. From this single thing alone, it had you catching everything about the bathroom, how there were two towels, one black, and one violet, which just so happened to be your favorite color.

You walked over to the nightstand beside the bed, putting on your skinny jeans, turning on the lamp, and noticing his wallet. Inside was a picture of you. Opening the closet doors, the ones hung up were various suits, jackets, and even dresses you've worn to events. Why didn't he just send these back? Why would he let you keep your stuff in his house?

You drag your feet downstairs, noticing small details you'd been blind to before, like the large dog bed positioned by the door despite Timothee telling you he could only ever get himself to take care of a tiny dog. You noticed the colored mugs and bowls, a deep dull navy blue color, the same as the ones in your house. Suddenly, everything feels as if it's moving too fast. You both agreed there was no relationship, and there was attraction, but why does his home feel like it's become yours as well?

You sit down, taking a few deep breaths before deciding to stand up and grab your cardigan from the coathanger, opening the front door and closing it behind you as you waited for a taxi to bring you to the more active part of the city at night.

You just couldn't deal with a relationship right now. You couldn't let your heart get broken again, so you have to find ways to distract yourself.

The car stops in front of you, driving off into the night and dropping you off by a club that Troye agreed to meet you at.

You and Timothee had an attraction, but you both agreed there was no label; ergo, there was no intimate relationship even though you both have done everything together. No boyfriend means you were free to do whatever you wanted without worrying about him. But if you were honest with yourself, this was more of you suggesting something you already knew Timothee wasn't too keen on agreeing with but would just because he thought that having something with you was better than absolutely nothing. You saw Troye waiting out by the back entrance for you when he spotted you and called you over. Almost like clockwork, every time you snuck out away from Timothee, everything in you screamed to turn back, to clear your head, and for the first time, you listened.

You motioned for Troye to go ahead and sent him a text that you'd probably just head home because you weren't feeling well. He gave you a knowing look before looking like he finally approved of your actions and sent you a quick and short 'Good." text, and headed inside.

You walked around for a while after that. Soon it was already just about 5 in the morning, and even though you wouldn't let yourself come to any conclusion as to what you even wanted out of this almost relationship with Timothee, you still found yourself back at his front door.

You took out the keys in your pocket, slowly opening the door only to find Timothee sat on the couch, his knees up to his chest as he stared off into space, either deep in thought or trying to keep himself awake… maybe even both.

When he saw you enter, a soft smile formed on his face, and for some reason, that made you smile too.

"Hey, you." He spoke softly.

You sat down quietly next to him, instantly he set his feet on the ground and reached over to embrace you in a hug, the familiar scent of Timothee that never left you that evening even more evident… It felt and smelled familiar, and right now, while your mind was a mess, familiarity was what you needed.

Timothee lifted his head, worried, "Hey, are you alright?"

You sighed, "I don't want to hurt you."

He murmured quietly into your neck as he peppered kisses, "You could never."

You pulled away, feeling guilt in your bones, "Aren't you even a little bit frustrated that we've been like this for months? That even in private, we can't even say that we're in a relationship?"

You gave you a reassuring look, "We both wanted this Y/N."

You sat up, "Except we didn't… You didn't." You corrected yourself, "You're bringing your mother to the fucking Oscars next month because I told you we couldn't be seen together at carpets for Pete's sake."

You stood up, starting to pace back and forth, "We have to coordinate outfits for the sake of not matching, and we never go out because I can't be seen with you in fear that we're going to get found out. I'm a terrible fucking person, and I don't understand how you're so okay with this."

Timothee was grinning, sleep still in his eyes, "I'm okay with it because I love you, Y/N."

You froze in your spot, "You what?"

He nodded and got up, walking over to you. The blue light of the early morning peaking through the curtain made this moment feel and look ethereal, "I said I love you, Y/N. I've known that I loved you from the moment I met you." He kissed the top of your head as he embraced you.

You shook your head, "No, no, no, you don't. I'll even list more shit I've done to you just so you understand how and why you don't love me."

Timothee chuckled, "And yet despite all this... all that's registering in my head is the fact that you've been thinking of me and only me this whole time. You've been worried about how you're hurting me because you don't want to."

And that's when you realized that Timothee was right. This whole time you've been thinking of Timothee and how much you wanted to protect him from you, but he never wanted to be protected from you because he knew that you could never hurt him. You rested your forehead against his.

"I-I need to go. I need to think."

He smiled sadly, "I'll be here when you're ready. I'll always be here Y/N until you don't want me to be here anymore."

-----------------------------------------------------------

You sat in your house, since leaving Timothee's earlier, you had been sat there lost in thought as you argued with yourself. It was true, the last thing you wanted was to hurt Timothee, but you were confused because it's like you couldn't understand your feelings. After all, a particular person still held a large part of it in his hands.

Timothee was there for you. Late night at the recording studio, whether through being there physically or even calling you or skyping you, he was always there. He was there with you when you bought all your albums from Target, and he was also the one who insisted you find another target that hasn't sold out your CDs so he could buy all of them too. Timothee was there with you when you had interviews that you almost felt like you could puke from nervousness backstage as he watched you talk about another celebrity you were getting linked to, and he was there with you to giggle about how stupid talk shows were. Timothee was always there. Whether it was dancing, kissing, or even fighting in the rain, he was always with you. He always wanted you around. Even when you rode the subway to get to a press conference of his or a promo for his upcoming movie, he always wanted you with him. He'd run with you in the rain, and he'd kiss away the sadness when you didn't want to speak with him. He was there with you when you get the sudden urge to buy all the popsicles from the nearest whole foods, and he was there with you when you got sick with the flu, which he also got from you. You'd spend afternoons walking around a far-off hill as you two put flowers in your hair despite knowing that you two probably had your busy schedules. Nothing mattered when you were with Timothee. Nothing mattered except each other. A part of you felt hurt that these memories you had kept of you and Tom were slowly being replaced by everything Timothee, but a large part of you also knew that the person you have now had no doubt that you couldn't ignore your feelings. You couldn't have to take Timothee out of your life.

Making up your mind, you got up, got dressed, and left for where you were sure you would find Tom.

He was in the middle of filming a new movie, but the second he saw you, he immediately asked to stop filming, a familiar, loving face plastered on as he walked over to you before being stopped by the director. They looked to be having a bit of a disagreement before he pointed you out, and the director looked at you in realization, patting him on the back and allowing him to jog over to you.

"Hey." You paused, your hand grasping your arm, and Tom took notice right away.

His eyebrows furrowed, "Hey, what's wrong?" He pulls you to sit by the curb as you two sat side by side, "You only do that when you're having a hard time saying something."

You gave him a look, "Well… I came here to ask you if it was alright if I try things out with Timothee."

He looked taken aback, "Oh, well, honestly, I thought you came by to sort things out between us…." He took notice of the way you looked down in guilt, "I don't think you could do anything with another guy that wouldn't upset me… but I don't really get that prerogative anymore, Y/N." He sighed, wrapping an arm around you to comfort you, "The fact is, you're trying to grow into who you've always wanted to be, and I'm trying to do that too for the sake of us and what we could be. If that means that you need or want to date someone again, I'll fully support you, but the most important thing is, does he make you happy?"

You sighed, looking out onto the filming lot, and nodded slowly, not noticing the slight upset look on Tom's face, "I catch myself sometimes smiling to myself when I think of him… But it's like I can't do anything because I don't want to let go of what we had."

Tom took a gulp, deciding that what was important right now was you, more than what he wanted, "What we had and what we were isn't important anymore Y/N. I'm working towards what we could become. What we had was co-dependency and a constant need to be in each other's presence to prove that what we had was perfect. I want us to find each other again in the future and know that no matter how far apart we are, if hopefully, we get together again, there is nobody in this world we'll love more… and that's what I'm encouraging you to do. I want to grow with you and grow for each other, and if that means you dating other people to understand yourself more, then I support you."

You looked at Tom for a second before hugging him and pecking him on the cheek, "I really needed that, Tom. Thank you."

He hugged you tighter, "Anytime. I'll always be here for you, Y/N."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You gripped your seat in the car in pure nerves. You were on your way to the Oscars with your assistant constantly telling you about your performance and what not to mess up and things to remember, especially about reporters who wanted an interview with you. To say you were all nerves today was an understatement. You hadn't spoken to Timothee ever since you told him you needed time to think, so today would be the first time you would ever come face to face with him. You thought long and hard about everything between the two of you. Still, you think you're finally ready to actually put some time and effort into this… and if that meant doing things that would significantly make Timothee happy, then you'd do it.

Your assistant watched a live feed from the Oscars as she gave you updates on how Armie was on the carpet. Saoirse was on the carpet, talking about how she hoped to make a movie with you and various other stars. You were a few minutes away from the carpet when she spoke up again.

"Timothee has just arrived." then she looked at her phone and back at you, doing a double-take as you gave her a sheepish smile, all she could do was smile approvingly at you before going back to giving you live updates.

A few minutes later, and your heart didn't feel like it was going to slow down anytime soon as your assistant gave you a pep talk, "Y/N. You are gonna rock that carpet, you'll turn heads, and most importantly, you're gonna be the talk of the night. There is nothing that could go wrong tonight. Just take deep breaths and don't trip."

Luckily you were still coherent enough to understand what she said as you took deep breaths to calm your nerves.

"Alright, three… two… one." The door flew open as one of the large men in suits grabbed your hand and helped you out. Your dress was not providing you much flexibility to move, and for almost 15 seconds, it felt like everything was moving in slow motion as everyone was quiet. You found Timothee busy with an interview as the crowd looked from you to him, the topic on everyone's minds for the past few months. As if this were the only proof they needed, they held their cameras in their hands as they snapped pictures of you and a commotion started as they started asking for Timothee.

You think you gave them a quick, charming grin as you told them he was in an interview before walking towards the interviewer and Timothee. She was the first to notice while Timothee talked about how his mom stood him up as his Oscars date, something you arranged a week earlier and something Timothee's mom was more than happy to comply to.

The interviewer looks ecstatic as the only one and the first one on this carpet to get whatever the scoop was here, as she wasted no time when you slowly approached them, "Timothee! You said you were stood up, but you never told us that your backup would be late!"

Timothee shot her a confused look before he felt your arm slowly snake around his arm, "Sorry I'm late." You quickly whispered to him.

His face looked shocked. Almost as if a reflex, he almost pulled away from you before getting a good look at what you were wearing. His jaw looked like it would drop to the floor as he looked utterly awestruck.

The interviewer giggled nervously, already knowing her interview time was slowly coming to an end without any payoff to the two of you, "Timothee, you look to be speechless at Y/N's dress tonight." She looked at you hopefully, "Could everyone here assume this is date night?"

You smiled shyly at the lady before giving her a tiny curt nod, "I know it's a bit cliche to match outfits, but when I saw that Timothee was going to wear a harness, I just couldn't let him take all the attention for tonight, so I apologize, but I've kept this secret from him too just to make sure he doesn't do anything to take the spotlight, that's why he looks like he's just had a heart attack." you giggled.

He gave a quick, playful tilted look to you before blinking multiple times, "In my defense, I didn't even know that this was a harness... They told me this was a bib."

"Bib or not, you two look like the sexiest couple on the carpet, and I just so happen to be the luckiest interviewer tonight." The interviewer looked ecstatic as can be as she jumps up, more energetic to interview the two of you, "And well, Y/N, one look at you, and it's hard to believe anyone would still have the ability to speak. You look gorgeous." She winked at the camera, "But I can't help but notice you just confirmed this is date night… Is it safe to assume what everyone has been wondering for the past few months? That you two are dating?"

Somehow, Timothee finally snaps out of it and looks at you, a questioning look before you leaned over and spoke into the mic, "Yeah. We're together. We have been for a while now." You smiled sheepishly as you saw Timothee's face glow as he wrapped his arm around your waist, "I apologize for keeping quiet for so long, but we think it's the right time to go public now that we've decided to take things to a more serious level."

The interviewer waves a hand in the air, "As long as you two let us in on the secret, there's no problem there." She faced the camera, "You heard it here first, folks. Hollywood's newest and hottest up and coming power couple. From both Y/N and Timothee themselves, now going public with their relationship."

As you two walked away from the interviewer for more pictures, Timothee embraced you, uncaring of the cameras flashing in your faces, "Are you serious?"

You nodded slowly, "I'm ready to be with you completely, Timothee. I'm sorry I took so long."

He shook his head like a puppy, "As long as you're here with me now, Y/N, I don't care."

He pulled away at the sound of your name and his in the same sentence as the photographers asked for your attention. He quickly kisses you on the cheek as you shut your eyes and grinned, cameras going off and commotion started up at you two, the young hot couple everyone had wanted more details on.

Timothee clutched your waist tightly, almost like he was afraid that if he let go, this would all go back to how everything was before.

Before entering the venue, he pulled you to the side, "Are you sure about this? I don't want you to force yourself."

You shook your head, guiding his head to yours, "I think I'm in love with you too, Timothee. I'm all in with you." And then you kissed him.

Hiiii I’m a lil dummy and I miss stuff sometimes oops so anyway here’s what I missed yesterday-- full audio of Zayn singing the song Leave Before You Love Me (released just a few days ago by the Jonas Brothers) was leaked by Zayn’s cousin! Seems that Z probably demo-ed the song back when it was being shopped around but it ended up going to JB- which would be our loss except heyyyy we get to hear Zayn’s version now anyway! It’s on youtube and it is GORGEOUS, check it out, and anyhow that explains the seemingly random promo tweet from Zayn yesterday- I should have KNOWN to look further, sigh, if Zayn is online there’s ALWAYS a reason. Side note, this is the other song (besides Our Song) that Plested wrote on that was released the same day that Niall was teasing him about the other day, as he is promoting both singles at the same time (and how they’re both smashing it.) Also Niall liked a post of Joe Jonas’ about the song yesterday. Basically: this song is ALL UP IN the updates!

And speaking of Niall and his promo- he continues to insist his pronunciation of Niall and Nile aren’t the same, “they’re absolutely not” he says and clarifies: “Nile and Ni-Al.” Ummm... As someone to whom his demonstration sounds literally indistinguishable I have to say I’m enjoying the show (and thank you Anne Marie, who said “THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME” for proving that not being able to hear it is not just an American thing). “Listen to me” insists Niall, and also insisted he has “handsome hunk energy” (not ‘big baby energy’ thank you very much)- and in case you don’t believe it he pulled down his shirt to show off his chest hair in an interview, COULD A BIG BABY DO THAT? About NH3 Niall says “this year, next year, no idea.” He and Anne Marie tell us about a deadbeat employee who was cut from the video-- “It’s not in the video but we paid this dog to speak, like ‘woof’ obviously, when he’s been told to speak... and he didn’t speak when we told him to,” Niall admits he’s a fangirl for The Eagles, and Anne Marie makes him turn bright red by calling him out for looking at himself in the mirror; Niall’s collab promo strategy is hilariously identical every time but damn it, it IS fun and cute and effective, so hey carry on! “That promo with Niall I was quite hyper. I’d had a sip of coffee by accident, I thought it was hot chocolate and it switched up my ADHD like woah,” Anne Marie says to explain herself, no excuses whatsoever are needed but lol. Tickets are on sale now for Niall’s (management company’s) golf tournament.

Harry’s photographer Helene Pabrum was interviewed in a new podcast- she answered lots of Harry questions and shared some lovely unseen pictures, from behind the scenes of HSLOT, music video shoots (as recent as TPWK even), and more. She tells us about what she thought when she first started out with him, “I was a little bit obsessed with the faces of all the fans in front of the stage. They were all at the same time crying and happy and so emotional and I was like wow so for me it was as interesting as the show itself,” and how the pictures they posted during tour were chosen-- “On tour when he wanted to post a picture to instagram I didn’t know if he wanted to post a live, or backstage or audience anything else one. So I would just sent a lot of pictures like take all of this, do what you want and he would post one… he is the one choosing the pictures, he’s the one deciding on them. He’s the one doing it and he’s very good at this. He decides…” and “if he doesn’t want to publish the picture he doesn’t do. It’s as simple as this.” (Meaning, I’d guess, that she was aware of the stupid discourse about how Harry probably doesn’t like her photos- uh huh yeah you can tell about how he has continued to hire her over and over for years- because he doesn’t look “good” in them, but at least we can finally put that to rest now right?? Fans: I don’t like Harry anymore because he doesn’t share enough personal stuff. Also fans: ugh why would he post pictures of himself looking human and accessible I hate this get it away, someone other than him is probably to blame! But she also says “I really feel happy and grateful that I receive so many really truly kind comments and kind messages” so that’s good.) Anyway, she also said her favorites are the candid ones, and “when you see a picture of him with just a t-shirt brushing his teeth it’s just great so for me, I was happy with his beautiful outfit and being simple.” She says he didn’t have much interest in picking up any French from her (or Camille I guess hmmm), “maybe he prefers speaking Italian,” and “I was really surprised to see him dancing. I was surprised in a good way, he’s young so he’s good at learning things really quickly.” (She’s only a few years older than him but he’s just got that Big Baby Energy, WBK!)

Meanwhile, Kill My Mind is soaring up the itunes charts worldwide and Walls got a boost as well as the fanbase got ProjectKMM underway, and two more Australia Louis shows were added ×͜×

#zayn #niall horan #harry styles #louis tomlinson #some people think Marshmello (whose song LBYLM is) might have chosen JB over Zayn b/c Z doesn’t really do promo #which is it just me or does that cast the To Begin Again promo tweet as his version leaked in a much funnier/ snarkier light if it’s true #tho really I think he was just online looking at the leak hubbub and was like oh hey. I sang on that. cool.#listen if you are up on things that I’m not I very much invite people to bring me news!#Zayn news especially it is frankly impossible to find Z blogs I can stand to follow on here #if you know or have a blog that shares up to date Z gossip and news without also hating on any of OT4 or cooing about Elounor and Freddie #I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT but I don’t think any such blog exists alas. Twitter perhaps? I would not know #what I really need to do is just remember that if zayn tweets-- go like for the discourse some drama is happening #without fail #plested #projectKMM #anne marie #helene pabrum #long post #kinda? idk #26 may 21
