taylorswift: Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend. The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare. One of the things I’ll always remember from this weekend was getting to surprise the crowd with a performance by the pop princess of our dreams: @sabrinacarpenter. Side note: She had one day off from her very exhaustive tour schedule. Her show is physically full on and spectacular, and she could’ve been resting in her time off. One of the reasons I respect her so much is that she does things like this, goes out of her way to give fans a surprise moment they didn’t expect. She’s as real as they come and I’m so thankful she did that for us. Thank you to every one of those beautiful faces I got to see on 3 magical nights in Louisiana. Our next stop is our last US city on The Eras Tour: Indianapolis ♥️

Fit talked about a "Hideduo Reunion"

Chatter: "Fit you said Hideduo reunion"

Fit: "Well-- Y'know, I don't know if it's ever going to happen folks, I don't know if it's ever going to happen. Y'know, I wouldn't want to get your hopes up for something that may never happen, so. Y'know why even entertain the idea, why."

(Kind of mischievously) "You can trust me, I would never lie to you. It's not happening folks. It's not happenin."

Actress Teri Garr... Rest In Peace

the CEO of concert promoter AEG Presents reveals that Taylor Swift refused to do dynamic pricing for her Eras Tour:

''There are a number of things Taylor did that other artists wouldn’t contemplate doing. One is, she had an opportunity to dynamically price her tickets, and she didn’t want to do that to her fans. She specifically said, “No dynamic pricing.” She was willing to make decisions that potentially cut into her income because she was taking a long-term view of her career. That long-term view applied to every decision she made throughout the tour: over-deliver on the show, over-deliver on the production, don’t overcharge on the merchandise. Every part of the tour was set up to position her for the next tour and the tour after that. The other thing is that she busted through globally and defined herself as a global superstar. She’s every bit as big everywhere around the world as she is in North America.''

Animal of the day for October 29: Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias)

The largest carnivorous shark, Great Whites travel hundreds of miles every day across the vast ocean in search of food. Great White Sharks have the ability to alternate between warm-blooded and cold-blooded metabolisms (heterothermy), which allows them to survive long periods without eating, or to explore colder waters. This would have likely given Great White Sharks and their kin an edge against other large sharks that existed, such as Alopias grandis or Hemipristis serra.

He couldn’t believe how many compliments Sirius had given him. He had no idea how to react to the praise, so he just nodded and smiled quick little smiles. He’d grabbed James’s hand at some point but couldn’t remember when. All he knew was that he couldn’t let go. He found it strangely calming, that simple touch. He felt confident enough with it to say a few things to his brother, even if they were only one or two-word answers. 

“So where are you living now?” Sirius asked him after returning his sketchbook. He chewed his lip for a moment, knowing what Sirius was really asking. 

“In the Halls. It’s noisy, but…” But it wasn’t Grimmauld Place. He couldn’t go back there. His parents had thrown him out right before uni had started, cancelling all his fees. Luckily, the university had been understanding and let him start his studies and move into his room on the understanding that if he didn’t get the student loan, he would owe them for back payments. It had been the scariest time in his life, but it had all worked out in the end. 

“We loved Halls, didn’t we, Prongs? So many people to prank,” Sirius sighed nostalgically. 

“Yeah, but everyone knew it was us. I think the Prefects were glad to see the back of us,” James laughed. 

“W-w-what about you?” Regulus asked, wincing when he stuttered. Sirius looked at him sadly, remembering what had happened to Regulus at home if he dared to stutter within hearing of their mother. 

“Up until a few weeks ago, I lived here. That was my room,” Sirius said, pointing at a door just visible from the living room. 

“Why did you move out?” Regulus asked, his head filling with too many scenarios about James and his string of lovers and other highly upsetting things. 

“Remus and I got a place together,” Sirius shrugged. Regulus guessed there was more, but Sirius didn't elaborate.

“Hey, Pads, come help me make more tea,” James had stood up while the brothers were talking and started collecting their used cups.

“What, why?” Sirius whined. “Why can’t you do it yourself? It’s only three cups of tea,” James leaned over, his nose almost touching Sirius’s and said very slowly. 

“Mum sent over one of her chocolate cakes,” Sirius was out of his chair and racing towards the kitchen before James could stand up straight. 

“Oi, Prongs, takeaway tonight? Reggie, you're staying.” Sirius said, coming back into the living room with a mouthful of chocolate cake. Regulus was relieved that Sirius had told him he was staying rather than asking if he wanted to. “I’ve put the kettle on,” He told James as he went to sit back down. 

“Great, and now you can get cake for everyone and not just yourself,” James ordered, grabbing Sirius by the back of his shirt and preventing him from sitting. Sirius screwed up his face and mumbled profanity at James as James pushed him into the kitchen. Regulus couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. He sighed and leaned back, tilting his head into the cushions and closing his eyes. He was exhausted. A lot had happened in the last few hours. 

The front door opened again and a tired-looking, very tall man wandered in, yawning widely, his eyes half shut. He dropped his bag and flung himself across the sofa, his head landing in Regulus’s lap, while his arms wrapped around his waist. Regulus froze. The man froze too. He craned his neck back, staring up into Regulus’s face. 

“You are not Sirius,” He stated. Regulus shook his head. 

“Moony, Regulus. Regulus, Moony,” Sirius introduced them, not seemingly bothered by the fact that Remus was currently sprawled over Regulus. 

“Hi,” Regulus said quietly. 

“Moony's my nickname. You can call me that, or Remus. Whichever you prefer,” Remus told him gently before untangling himself from Regulus and going to greet Sirius. He kissed Sirius on the lips but yanked his head away as soon as they’d made contact and stared at him. 

“It’s in the kitchen,” Sirius said, and then Remus was gone. A groan came from the kitchen a second later and Sirius snorted. 

“Remus loves Effie’s cake more than he loves me,” Regulus now realised that Remus was Sirius's boyfriend. That made a bit more sense. 

“I’m sorry,” He blurted out. “He was on me before I could stop him,” He really hoped Sirius wouldn't be offended and told him to get out. But Sirius shrugged it off.

“It’s fine, don’t worry,” 

Remus and James came back with the tea things and plates of chocolate cake. James sat back with Regulus on the sofa, while Sirius took his chair again. Remus hesitated a second before he chose to climb onto Sirius’s lap, obscuring Sirius until he got himself settled. Grinning down at his large slice of cake. This was the weirdest tea party Regulus had ever been to. 

“So, Chinese for dinner?” James asked, sliding his hand into Regulus’s again. Regulus nodded at him as he took a bite of the chocolate cake James handed him. He let out a groan. 

“It’s the best, right?” Remus said, grinning at him. Regulus had no words, so continued to nod as he took another bite.
