They posted just after 10:00 p.m. Late enough to feel casual, private—intentional in its quiet. But not late enough for the internet to sleep through it.

Within ten minutes, screenshots had landed in group chats and fan accounts. By twenty, Twitter had caught fire. The puzzle pieces that the internet had been putting together just hours before—prom photos, birthday posts, the glint of a ring in the paparazzi pictures— was now complete.

Fan reactions poured in like rain after drought.

“HELLO YOU ARE TELLING ME DREW STARKEY IS MARRIED AND THEY KEPT IT A SECRET”

“she’s been right there the whole time. like actually THERE. in his life. in his photos. in his little smiles. IM NOT OKAY”

“she’s not tagged. she didn’t even drop a location. she’s so off-grid coded i’m obsessed.”

“what do you MEAN they’ve been married for a while? what does a while mean?? 3 months? a year?? five???”

“me, a hater at 10:21 p.m. me, in love with her by 10:54 p.m.”

Drew had tossed his phone onto the coffee table without ceremony—face down, screen dark. No buzzing notifications. No refreshing the app. No second-guessing. Just one quiet decision, released into the world with a simple tap.

Y/N had curled into the corner of the couch beside him, her legs tucked close, one hand resting lightly on the blanket draped over both their knees. The other held her phone, the soft glow of the screen painting her features in quiet blue. But she wasn’t scrolling. Wasn’t reading comments. Wasn’t in the app at all. She just stared at the home screen, like maybe, if she looked at it long enough, the world might pause. Or rewind. Or slow down.

“You’re sure?” she asked after a long, careful beat. Her voice was barely a whisper, like asking it too loudly might undo everything they’d just done.

Drew didn’t hesitate. He reached out, brushing his thumb over her knee, the touch gentle but grounding. “I’ve never been more sure,” he murmured.

It wasn’t fear that sat in her chest. Not exactly. It was more like that first step into wide open air—the hush after the leap, before you hit the water. The moment when everything feels too big and too still at the same time. Like walking out into a clearing after months of moving in shadow. Vulnerable. Exposed. Real.

Not hiding anymore.

By morning, her phone was a blur of numbers and notifications. Her follower count had tripled. Strangers combed through every quiet, forgotten post she’d ever made. The photo of Drew half-asleep on a plane, hoodie pulled over his face. Teddy bounding through fresh snow. A blurry snapshot of the two of them sitting on a cabin porch, backs to the camera, heads tilted toward each other like they were mid-laugh.

They said it hadn’t been a soft launch after all. It had always been loud. Just not in the way they expected.

That night, long after the initial wave had crested and people had stopped tagging her in edits every two minutes, Drew came back from the kitchen with a second blanket and a fresh cup of tea she hadn’t asked for but gladly accepted. He handed it to her wordlessly and sat down, lifting the blanket and tucking it around her as if it were muscle memory.

She set the mug on the coffee table, untouched for now, and leaned into his side, her head finding the curve of his shoulder. He kissed her temple, then rested his cheek against her hair.

“I think your sister texted me eight separate crying emojis,” she mumbled.

“She also sent me a wedding meme,” Drew replied. “But like, a really bad one. Glitter font and everything.”

Y/N snorted, the sound soft and real against his chest. “How is it that the worst part of going public is the group chat?”

“Because they have material now,” he said, smiling. “They’ve waited years for this.”

She tilted her head up to look at him. “Are we crazy for doing it?”

Drew didn’t answer right away. He just studied her for a moment, the way her eyes searched his, the way the shadows from the lamp curved softly across her skin. Then he leaned in and kissed her. Slow. Intentional. Like it wasn’t just reassurance—it was a promise. When he pulled back, their foreheads stayed pressed together, breath mingling in the space between.

“No,” he whispered. “We’re not crazy. We’re just done hiding.”

Her eyes fluttered closed. “It’s gonna feel strange, not covering, not ducking out early or standing five feet apart in photos.”

“It will” he agreed. “But it will also feel good. Like breathing.”

They stayed like that for a while, wrapped in quiet and fleece and the kind of warmth that doesn’t need explaining. His thumb brushed slow circles against the inside of her wrist. Her leg slid over his, anchoring them together under the blanket.

“Still ours,” he said at last, voice low and steady.

She nodded against his shoulder. “Even if they all know now.”

“They don’t know,” he said gently. “They just saw. And what they saw? That was real. But the rest?” He kissed her hair. “That’s still just for us.”

And she believed him.

The world could keep spinning, keep wondering, keep piecing together their story from photos and guesses and grainy screenshots.

They had already built the quiet.

And the quiet wasn’t going anywhere.

I shared the videos that I found out to @vul87556 !

[lazysoulwriter]

just friends, right? - pedro pascal.

requested! hope you like it, like i did! - requested are open.

-

It started with a selfie.

Pedro posted it on Instagram without much thought. A casual photo of him and you—both smiling, both a little too close, both bathed in golden light. The caption? Just a simple:

pascalispunk: brunch with my best girl 🤍

And the internet lost it.

-

Twitter Thread – pedropascalupdates 📌 Pinned Tweet

🚨 Okay but Pedro Pascal and Y/N have been “best friends” for like… a decade?? and yet they’ve posted more soft couple content than ACTUAL couples. A thread 🧵

1 - This is them at a premiere last year. Hand on lower back, lingering eye contact, the whole thing 👀 📸 [image attached] 2 - Pedro flew to Paris for literally no reason the same week Y/N was filming there. Coincidence? okay. 📸 [screenshot of Pedro’s IG story + Y/N’s BTS photo] 3 - They wore matching rings at the Critics Choice Awards. Like… the SAME. EXACT. RING. 📸 [close-up of both their hands] 4 - This pic 😭 📸 [screenshot of the infamous brunch selfie]

I RECOGNIZE THE VEINS 😭 chaoticpedrogirl: okay but is this a soft launch or a hard launch??? besties4life: y’all are really just gonna keep playing with our emotions like this huh 😭 pascalsource: it’s giving “we’ve been married for 7 years but you don’t need to know that” user123: can we get a timeline please??? this is mental gymnastics

-

Interview Clip – Red Carpet Moment

Interviewer: “Pedro, you and Y/N have such an adorable friendship—fans love seeing you two together!” Pedro (grinning): “Yeah… she’s the best. Been putting up with me for years now.” Interviewer: “Any chance it’s more than just friendship? People have… theories.” Pedro: laughs, rubs the back of his neck “People love a good theory, don’t they?”

Instagram Story – @ pascalispunk 📸 blurry photo of a breakfast table 👤 tagged: yourusername (but barely noticeable in the corner)

Fan Tweet – @ pedropascaldefenseunit

no bc at this point I’m convinced they’ve been in love for like ten years and are just vibing and letting us slowly lose our minds over it

-

They never confirm it. They never deny it either.

But when Pedro posts a grainy polaroid of you both sitting on a rooftop, your head resting on his shoulder, with the caption:

pascalispunk: home.

...no one really needs confirmation anymore.

-

The notification buzzes on your phone, but you already know who it is. Pedro.

He’s on the other side of the couch, wrapped in the blanket he insists on bringing every time he stays over, glasses sliding down his nose, the glow of his phone lighting up his face. He posts the photo without saying a word. Just smiles at his screen, soft and content. You can see it in the way his eyes crinkle.

"You posted?" you ask, laughing as you throw a pillow at him. "Maybe," he replies, trying to play innocent. "Pedro!" "What? It's cute!" — He flashes the screen at you. The caption: Home. The picture: you and him on your rooftop, your head resting on his shoulder, city lights behind you.

You shake your head, grinning, and crawl over to steal his phone. "Now everyone’s gonna know. Again."

Pedro drops his head into your lap, looking up at you like you’re his whole world. "Let them. They’re not wrong, anyway."

Your fingers drift through his hair, absentmindedly. "You sure? About… us being out there like that?"

He grabs your hand, holds it tight. Lifts it and kisses each finger one by one. "I’m sure about you." "Cheesy." "True."

Another buzz — comments flooding in. "You wanna read?" he teases. "No. I just wanna stay here with you."

He smiles again, that sleepy, safe smile you know too well. "Just us."

And for now, that’s all you need.

in honor of the mma! abby x model! reader fic that is rotting in my drafts, i desperately wanna talk about the cute shit yall get into while pretending you're not dating - click here for my series masterlist

free palestine! click this link for more info

☆ abby is so aggressively offline, but you are chronically online. in particular, you’re a livestream fiend. it’s a cute way to interact with your fans and it passes time while you’re getting ready for events. you two spend so much time pretending you aren’t together, but on more than one occasion people have screenshotted a figure that looks like her in the background. buff, long blonde hair, kind of tall, she’s hard to miss. you take delight in fucking with people so whenever people ask in your comments you reply with a quick

“no that’s the ghost that haunts my apartment. she’s nice though.”

☆ re: you enjoy fucking with people, once your relationship status was official and you two had settled, you’d post pictures of the two of you out at dinner captioned with some variation of “just a couple of besties”. abby doesn’t get the joke at all, but is happy to participate. 

☆ paparazzi are constantly up your ass, and one day when you’re on what you thought was a secluded beach with abby, they snap a picture of abby kissing you along your neck, your fingers wrapped in her long blonde hair. then, someone leaked the address of the hotel you’d be staying at and you were bombarded by fans at the door. one of them screams at you “was that a picture of you and abby on the beach?”

thinking quickly on your feet, you respond “i haven’t been to the beach in years.” an obvious lie, but it sold the idea that you weren’t going to talk about it. 

☆ celebrity blind items are constantly being released, revealing details of your personal life. you have no idea who on your team is running their mouth, but there were plenty of worse things that could be revealed to the public. 

this A- list model was caught at the club sucking face with this rookie alliterative alphabet fighter. sources are saying they’ve been together for months, but neither are willing to confirm on or offline.

☆ finally, about a year into your relationship you and abby concoct this ridiculous hard launch for your relationship status. abby’s in las vegas for a pretty important main card fight. not a title fight, but she was still new on the scene and was trying to establish her relevance. she gets a devastating first round knockout with the nastiest punch to the jaw that you’ve seen in a minute. 

the crowd is in an uproar when the announcer and her team flood the octagon. they ask the standard “how do you feel?”, “do you have anything you wanna say to the fans?” 

then came the question she was waiting for. “what are you going to do once you get out of the octagon?” 

“i’m gonna go call my girlfriend.” she chuckles between sharp exhales, still riding the adrenaline from the fight. “she’s the first voice i wanna hear after every fight. she couldn’t be here tonight because she’s off in milan, but i know there’s no way she missed this.”

of course you were watching. it was no secret that you were a ufc fan. you’d been caught front row in the stadium a few times. even if abby wasn’t fighting, you tried not to miss the pay per view events. 

an hour later a photo was uploaded on your instagram of you holding your phone to your ear, still in your pajamas with the caption

absolutely loving milan <3 

it took very little time for “WE WERE RIGHT!” to start trending on twitter.

i WILL be writing more of them don't worry. idc if only 3 people like this, more is coming :P

User2 She is so hot and her boyfriend is equally hot. Power couple!

User3 Something about that back and that filter seems kinda familiar.

User6 Its giving a pinterest vibes! She is everything I aspire to be.

User7 Are you still the one in-charge of cooking Y/N?

Y/NCooks Yuppp. But don't worry because he lifts the grocery and pays for the food, its an equal relationship User8 The boyfriend seems like a catch

User9 God when will it be me?

Charles_Leclerc just posted a photo.

Charles_Leclerc good food and good company

User1 Who is that??? Who is that hand?????

User2 Charles is finally breaking his single streak, a sad day for all the Charles girlies

PierreGasly Oh so that's why your boat was missing Charles_Leclerc I'm not discussing it here PierreGasly We just want to know, who is the lucky lady User3 Ohmygod Pierre just found out just like we all did

User4 That blue filter is back

User5 Just when we thought he forgot about it

User6 why is everyone and their partners softlaunching in a yacht

User7 who else is in a yacht? User6 There's this homecook and masterchef winner named Y/N that is softlaunching their partner on a yacht User7 Oh bestie that back looks familiar, don't you think User9 User9 SUSPICIOUS!!! User9 Nah, I highly doubt Charles can bag a chef. I mean the man couldn't cook pasta and its just pasta User7 you are probably right, im just delulu

"This is getting mildly annoying"Charles pouted "Usually they are quick to connect the pieces"

"All in due time honey"

It was actually a funny thing for you since fans find it highly impossible that Charles could bag a chef as his partner. You wouldn't tell Charles but you admit that his cooking skills is not a major selling point to a lot of chefs out there.

Ever since MasterChef ended, you two have been open about going public. The relationship has been kept in wraps for over 3 years so Charles is feeling pretty confident that it has already been a tested by time. But more than that, Charles opened up how he wanted to go public so that he'll be able to showcase his support.

"I can't wait for them to figure it out just so I can tell the world that I am the luckiest guy in the world for having you as my partner" he clings to you as a loopy smile appears on his face.

"And I can't wait to showcase the world how you have been drastically improving with your cooking skills" you smile "You can be my sous chef when you are off season"

"I'm not really sure if you are being sarcastic but I'll take this as a win and I'm considering myself masterchef approved"

The Gordon incident

There were 5 missed calls from Charles which made you slightly worried. You were unable to answer the call since you were driving home. You immediately rushed to the apartment and you saw a weird scenario. Charles was spread out on the floor, face down and seems to be in pain.

"What happened to you?"you asked as you set down your bag at the counter.

"Leave me be, I am a disgrace. I have fallen from heaven." Charles moped.

"Seriously honey, what's going on. You are scaring me"

Charles only lifted his phone for you to look at. You looked at it and it was a screenshot from Twitter with a quote tweet from Gordon about the pasta incident.

"Charles, you can't bag a chef if your cooking is as disastrous as that. Call me when you have the time-Oh my god. Gordon did not just say that" you burst out laughing.

"Laugh in my misery, go ahead and laugh."

You have to contain your giggles but then you cannot seem to help yourself. Charles continued to mope at the floor how no one will believe that you are his girlfriend now.

"It was just one time that I wasn't able to cook pasta properly, one time"

"Yes honey but the internet is forever"

After a while, Charles got up and you were slightly confused when he started bringing out the pots and pans out of the cupboard. He took out some of the pasta and then he grabbed his apron.

"You are going to teach me and we won't stop till I get a good pasta redemption" Charles said with full determination.

There was a bright idea that suddenly popped in your head, "I think I can do something better than that"

You started to type in your phone and after a while your phone started ringing. A familiar face on the screen and Charles almost fainted after hearing the accent.

"YOU GOT GORDON ON SPEED DIAL TO TEACH ME?"

Dinner with the drivers

The Australian Grand Prix was the first time that you actually met Charles' friends and former teammates. Charles arranged for an exclusive dinner with the grid drivers of 2025 in your restaurant.

"How did you get a reservation here Charles? I have been trying to get one for my parents, they love the Chef here and supported her during the masterchef days"Oscar asked.

"I know someone" Charles was trying his best to suppress his grin and elaborate further.

"Make sure to tell me later, I would love to bring my parents here. Cheers mate"

Dinner went on progressively well. There were variation of cuisines available and it catered to their specific Even Lewis loved that the vegan option was vast and Nando even agrees that if this is how much food options vegan has then he can go Vegan.

It was now tiMe for dessert and some drivers opted for a coffee while some thinks they deserve for a cheat day.

"Is this Ferrari's new strategy to shaving weight?"Max joked "Make the other drivers eat more so the car will be unbalanced"

"Fred is getting more creative with his strategy eh. Last year with my appendix and this year with Charles' food"Carlos agreed

The whole table erupted with the antics but Pierre is dying with curiosity already. Charles kept on mentioning how tonight is a really important night for him to announce something. He can't forget this dinner since its all that Charles has been talking about ever since they arrived in Australia.

"But in all honesty, you said you have something to tell us Charles" Pierre wondered "I'm dying to know"

Charles excused himself for a second and all the drivers on the table watched as he went to the kitchen. You were still in your chef's jacket when Charles spotted you.

"Is it time already? Do I look okay?"

"You look more than gorgeous mon amour"Charles replied, giving you a soft kiss to the cheeks.

The two of you walked out of the kitchen with hands interlaced with one another. The table suddenly fell quiet as they saw the two of you approaching the table. Charles has the most smug grin on his face.

"Everyone, I would like you to introduce the talented and amazing Chef for tonight Y/N" Charles lifted your intertwined hands "And she's also my girlfriend"

The drivers were all silent and shocked as they pieced out everything together. Then the flurry of questions started.

"Did you try Charles' pasta?" "Were you poisoned to say yes to him?" "How on earth did Charles get a MasterChef winner" "Can you teach me how you made the appetizer with the pea and corn"

It was so funny and you two were in a long night for explaining. But as you sat down bext to Charles, you felt at ease. You know that you can handle anything together.

The accidental reveal

Charles_Leclerc just posted a photo.

Charles_Leclerc We’ll do everything together to get as many of those trophies in the years to come

User1 Charles is a future WDC

User2 those trophies needs a little bit of polishing, don't you think?

User3 The dust that they have been collecting

User4 Leave the man alone, he's away from home 24/7

User5 is it just me or did you guys see the MasterChef trophy at the back

User6 isn't that the australian trophy, maybe its the p2 from last year User7 nooo! User5 is right, it has the logo

User8 SIR THAT TROPHY IN THE BACK ISN'T YOURS

landonorris lol since when did you have time to do a sidequest with masterchef while we race User10 LANDO! maxverstappen1 surprised he can hold himself till the end. CarlosSainz55 surprised he can cook Charles_Leclerc uninvited for dinner landonorris NOW WAIT A SECOND

Charles_Leclerc and Y/NCooks posted a photo.

Charles_Leclerc spot the game difference is getting difficult.

User1 Man really said fuck it!

User2 I can't believe this crossover

User3 If someone told me this happened a year ago, I would have laughed at you User4 There is no way Charles_Leclerc Why not, I have lots of redeeming qualities

User5 So you mean to say Charles Leclerc is the boyfriend she has been talking about in MasterChef. How did we not piece this out together?

User6 The adopted by the italian family. The cake after Charles P3 in Jeddah. The long distance relationship. THE LECLERC BROTHERS AS HER CLOSEST FRIENDS. HOW DID WE NOT SEE IT User7 I think its because we think Charles can't bag Y/N Charles_Leclerc you all underestimated me

User8 My new favorite trope, the woman who loves to cook for Gordon and the man who loves to get grilled by Gordon

User9 IM LAUGHING! Remember that tweet Charles_Leclerc I'll have you know that I have improved!

User12 Where can I get Y/N, she is so beautiful and talented

Charles_Leclerc sorry out of stock!!!!

User10 Im laughing at how Charles is fighting everyone in the comment section. He really said, he has time

Y/NCooks posted a photo

Y/NCooks the first two was taken two weeks into dating. We preferred staying indoors and the comforts of the house so we could have our privacy. Charles burned the fries and that's a photo of him insisting it was crispy not burnt // fast forward to two weeks ago when he insisted on cooking pasta and making pizza, it was pretty good. The pasta was actually al dente and the pizza was made from scratch.

Thank you honey for growing with me for the past 3 years. I love you all the way from Melbourne to Monaco (or whichever country you are in rn)

User1 This is so wholesome, I ship them together

User2 CHARLES CREMATED THE FRIES

 ꣑ৎ 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 (엔하이픈)

୨୧ 𝓈ynopsis — where your boyfriend accidentally exposes your relationship! ୨୧   𝓅airing — enha hyung line x idol!reader   ୨୧   𝒸ontent — idk if u would consider hee’s angsty????, mentions of fainting in hee’s , mostly just fluff, probably unrealistic… ୨୧   𝓌ordcount —  810  ୨୧   𝓃ote — ive been writing so much recently so look out for a lot of posts this week!  ୨୧ archive | daily click | maknae line

𝓁 。heeseung  (희승)

heeseung swears he’s watching an angel perform. your body moves so gracefully to the music, your smile lighting up the entire stadium. it’s mesmerizing, and for a moment, he thinks he might just be dreaming.

as he enjoys the show, he almost misses the moment you stumble while stepping back and the way your dance moves become sloppier throughout the song. he furrows his brows, biting his cheek anxiously. were you okay?

his concern turns to panic when you suddenly faint on stage, your body going limp as the lights flicker off. your members rush to your side, and jay tries to hold heeseung back, but he’s already bolting backstage, pushing past security with his heart racing. he sees you being carried out by staff, and a surge of fear grips him.

“baby!”

he calls, gently taking your hand. you’re half-conscious, holding your head, but relief washes over you when you see heeseung’s worried face hovering above you. he presses a soft kiss to your forehead and hands you a cold water bottle, urging you to drink while ignoring the staff’s attempts to pull him away.

the next day, fans are buzzing after witnessing heeseung rush backstage and the dating rumours are starting to stir. he knows that what he did was very risky, but he really couldn’t care when you’re hurt.

rest under cut !

𝓅。jongseong (제이)

jay is filming a small vlog for youtube, propping his camera up on his desk as he digs into his meal. you’re right there with him, quietly enjoying your food but out of the camera's view. knowing the video will be uploaded, you try to stay silent, confident that any moments where you might appear will be edited out.

or so you thought… when the video goes live, fans quickly notice the two plates, two spoons, and two cups on the table. and another important detail, a few strands of your freshly dyed hair briefly slip into the frame near the end of the video.

fans start comparing those strands to your new hair colour, and everything lines up perfectly. the dating rumors spread like wildfire and despite staff pulling the video down quickly, screenshots have already flooded twitter, and it’s too late to ignore.

“your fans are really something...” 

you murmur, twisting a strand of hair around your fingers as you scroll through twitter, pouting a little. jay smiles and plants a kiss on your temple.

“it’s fine. everyone should know you’re mine anyway.”

𝓈。jaeyun (재윤)

jake starts his weverse live, watching as fans pour in and flood the chat with messages. he chats with them normally, talking about whatever comes to mind. he’s done many of these lives before, and nothing has ever gone wrong, so why would today be any different?

during the stream, his phone buzzes in his pocket, and he knows it’s you. since fans can’t see who he’s texting, he decides to reply, smiling as he unlocks his phone and is met with your picture on his lock screen.

the live wraps up smoothly, and he jumps into bed, sinking into the comfort of the soft mattress and thick blankets. just as he’s about to drift off, his phone starts buzzing with messages from jungwon. grudgingly, he reaches for it, eyebrows furrowing at the video jungwon had sent.

it’s a short, zoomed-in clip from the live he just finished. as he plays it, he realizes it’s from the mirror behind him the whole time. he sees your face light up in the reflection and his smile fades as he remembers fans could see what he was doing on his phone…

they quickly trace his lock screen back to your instagram and find a photo you posted a while back that looks just like the one on his phone. jake opens twitter, groaning as his feed fills with fans already stirring up dating rumors. he opens your contact and types out a message:

“we’re official :)…”

𝓅。sunghoon (성훈)

sunghoon was infamous for accidentally spoiling about his group’s comebacks, so it wasn’t entirely shocking to you when he let something slip that was meant to be kept a secret; your relationship and the upcoming release of your latest comeback.

“and y/n’s comeback…” 

the room goes quiet… jungwon’s eyes widen, darting back and forth between sunghoon and the panicking staff.

jungwon quickly jumped out of his seat, standing up and lunging for the camera that had been resting on its stand. 

“thank you for watching, engene! we’ll be right back—” he exclaimed, his voice cracking slightly in a mix of urgency and amusement.

as soon as the camera was off, jungwon erupted into laughter, sunghoon joining in, their laughter filling up the room. he would definitely be getting a scolding from you afterwards…

[biancadoes1]

A couple questions for you!

1. Do you think Nic saw/ was made aware of her lock screen being found and analyzed?

2. Was her insta stories post planned or random?

3. Do you think she’ll have to change her current strategy in dealing with all of this?

Personally, I think the longer she stays quiet the more certain people are going to try and invade her privacy in search of “evidence” and “proof”

Hey anon.

1. She is probably aware of this. I have to amend this whole section because I literally can’t find the screenshot I saw anywhere in the HB post. But we know they lurk on Twitter and it exploded there before anywhere else. It’s unfortunate but we they see these things probably regularly and if they don’t, I imagine they’re told so they know what’s being said.

2. The insta post of her old picture afterward? Idk. I’m on the fence with that tbh. With Luke’s old photo shoot pic shared out the next day I would think there’s possibly a connection to be made or it could just be random. A memory that popped up and the photog decided to share.

3. I think there might need to be some changes but ultimately, at some point, something has to give. Continued silence is fueling the fire but if she speaks will that make it worse? She also might not be willing to speak because she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation when fans are making things up on their own. This seems like a difficult situation from an outsiders perspective.

Time will tell when the plan is so right now all we can do is continue to support her and the both of them while the rest continue with the narrative.

The truth always comes out at some point, one way or the other.

[louisisalarrie]

ALRIGHT SO I was reminded of this today by a lovely mutual when we were discussing the crazy times of early larry. This… well… this was a great time to be in the fandom. It was chaos. I’ll link the original post I found of this back on my blog from 2013 as well, but I want to add my commentary throughout this post just to explain to all you newer larries what the HELL happened here (and that original post is missing one VERY important picture…)

So… if you think we are excellent detectives now, back then we were constantly finding things because there were so many things happening. The boys and their mothers used Twitter as a place to openly chat and talk shit and Jay and Anne were always tweeting each other about larry and everything… but, these tweets were still in the public eye. It just was a different time, and larrry content was still high on Twitter.

However, there were many more platforms available that the boys could use without being directly in the fandom’s eye. This included Pinterest / Blogspot.

Now, we only ever found Harry’s, and we searched for the other boys ones but couldn’t find anything and I doubt they had them. It was very on brand for Harry to have a Pinterest, so, let’s have a little look, shall we?

I screenshotted the first picture below today. This is Harry’s blogger account. This is still up, although the account hasn’t been active since 2013.

The below photo is from the original post about this whole Pinterest thing. We all clicked on it. It was verified and I saw it with my own eyes. It’s not photoshopped

So anyway, let’s start with his blog before we jump into Pinterest. His blog is adorable! There are more articles than just the one below (screenshot taken today, the link to this blog is here)

So anyway, back in the day, he really didn’t receive many comments or anything. It was a pretty quiet little blog, that sadly, didn’t last that long.

So let’s have a squiz at his Pinterest, shall we?

It was lovely to find his Pinterest. Seeing all the things that he liked, that sparked joy for him… it was truly lovely and such a cool way to connect to our boy. Obviously, by the follower count, it was a little more well known when this screenshot above was taken. However… the earlier screenshots from his Pinterest were a… a time to be alive. When we first found it, we went through his boards, and some photos he’d uploaded and pinned. Have a look…

And so… we were all kind of like okay. Wow. What if this is really him? But…. There’s nothing proving it’s him. And then, we got this photo (which I never see floating around anymore, and we hadn’t seen it prior to this). AHEM WHAT IS THIS SIR THIS WAS TRULY WILD

We lost our minds. There was so much stuff on his profile, a picture of a curly haired kid in suspenders, a lot of pride and larry and Louis stuff in a folder called “be happy”, but alas, the mobile app will only let me post 10 pics. But, there was also this little cheeky dig at you know who, which I loooooove

And oh!!! Remember louis’ black tie 21st that Harry threw??? THIS was one of his boards before Louis had turned 21. There was no way a fan guessed he’d be having a black tie 21st.

BUT everything Louis related, whether it be his 21st or that chihuahua or the photo of them together, got deleted soon after we found it. Obviously we freaked out, tumblr had a meltdown, we had some pretty solid larry evidence on our hands. But the old stuff and anything related to Louis or Harry’s sexuality, got deleted and Harry continued to use it for a little while after. Then, the whole acct was deleted. Which… interesting… why would you bother deleting the whole acct? There wasn’t just larry stuff, there was a heap of things that Harry shared and pinned and loved and it was really cool. Would have been a nice little archive. But the larry evidence was too strong. So it got deleted and we only have screenshots, unfortunately.

But, I can assure you, we all clicked on that Pinterest link and we all saw it with our own eyes. It was verified. It was him. This was real. I scrolled through all of those photos. We also found a tumblr very similar, under the same username, but it disappeared around the same time too.

However, the blog didn’t have anything larry on it, so it’s still up. But yeah. There you have it. Some more larry lore that I forgot about until today. Hehe. Original post with some more commentary from my tumblr in 2013 here

I know you probably don't have an answer, but id like to see what you think. Was the book of Bill written during his time in the Theraprism or way beforehand? Or is it just like Ford's journal where he's already writing in it regardless. Also I'm trying to figure out how the Book of Bill plays a part in this fanfic since the Pines family have already read it and already know his secrets? Or did they not read it all the way and only paid attention to what they wanted to?

I don't need to have an answer of my own because the book thoroughly provides one. I'm not gonna grab screenshots and quotes because that would take a whole lot of time and I don't wanna spend that kind of time so I'm just gonna state for the record all of the below is canonical to something said either in the book or (for Gus) in promotional material.

The book is made to "communicate" with Bill even after death. The contents of The Book of Bill actively update for each person reading it, as they read it, and even can change each time they open the book.

The book's made out of brain matter, and Bill says he can possess anything with neurons (thus letting him alter the book's contents in real time).

Bill is actively remotely writing the book from the Theraprism as it's being read. The staff even catches him in the act of writing it and inserts a note a few pages before the end of the book saying he's breaking the rules by contacting outsiders but they'll give him five minutes to wrap up. We get a photo of him in his little orange prison jumpsuit beaming his thoughts onto the page of his end of the book (suggesting TBOB works like a walkie talkie—Bill says something into a book on his end and it comes out of the book on the other end).

When Ford looks in the book, he sees a bunch of difficult riddles. When Mabel looks in the book, it offers to tell her about everyone who's had a crush on her. When Stan looks at it, it has a chapter on how to win the lottery. When Gus (the park ranger from OregonParksDept on twitter) opens the book, Bill addresses him by name, talks to him about Gus's own life, and asks him if he wants to improve his life.

When YOU—a fan of Bill Cipher and Gravity Falls—look at the book, it tells you Bill's opinions on a lot of topics, his history, and the history of Gravity Falls. Nobody in-universe who opens the book is a Bill Cipher fan.

The Pines family didn't see his secrets because he didn't list his secrets for them to see. He listed what he desperately thought might persuade each of them to keep reading long enough to let him worm into their heads and start manipulating them—and they thought his attempt was pretty pathetic. They slapped notes in the book for the next person to pick it up and chucked it.

“ I do wonder if it was to stop fans putting it into that app that tells you the real date a photo was taken..”

I find this so creepy that I’ve started to screenshot and then upload the screenshot of the photos I want to post .. just cause I don’t feel comfortable sharing that data sometimes. I wonder why these lads don’t do that, easy and simple precaution..

yeah, same.. it's scary how much information can be visible through meta data. maybe they just don't know or it just isn't a concern to them.. and I think most of their content doesn't carry any critically revealing data, it's mostly just an issue with insta stories. but it's always good to be cautious..

which reminds me.. I'd recommend everyone sharing or posting links via 'shared' options from like twitter, instagram or websites to learn to remove sharing/tracking data from an url. like if you use the 'share' option on twitter you will get an url that looks like this:

twitter(dot)com/Louis_Tomlinson/status/1907832258381115790?s=46&t=mvTAw9jWfh8OZn8f86lt

in this url everything after the ? can contain information about where it came from and who shared it. it might not be simple or even possible to track the account that shared it or any other information, but it's always a good idea to remove everything after and including the ? - and just share the 'clean' link.

About a week ago, goodomensnews published a link to https://www.frogsfood.co.uk/films-and-productions listing among their catering clients Good Omens for "Food for the angels". Has anyone yet made a connection between this find and Crowley's monologue in Season 1 "Oh lookie here! It's Lucifer and the guys! Food hadn't been that good lately, hadn't had anything on for the rest of that afternoon..."?

Hi Buggre, lovely to see your handle pop up again in my notifications! Such a great question, too! The Tumblr part of the fandom seems to be slightly behind the production updates in comparison to what is happening on BlueSky and Twitter, so it might be a good occasion to summarise the situation.

On the 21st February both apps were swamped with fans panicking over the article mentioning the end of the filming phase of the Good Omens 3: Finale, which prompted me to share a crumb I’ve been sitting on long enough that I almost forgot about it, just like Aziraphale did forget his sword. This is one of the responses it got:

The second screenshot shared by @kartatchk is the very source of the angel food rumours we focus on here, but please do check her accounts if you’re interested in S1 and S2 BTS photos — she’s been doing such a marvellous job finding them recently and deserves all the recognition she can get! But back to the food for the angels.

The whole idea seems to align with two popular fan theories and was naturally heavily commented upon as such by multiple fan accounts the very moment it was brought up. Not sure how it looks like from my posts here, but I have a somewhat repetitive habit of shouting about a possible flashback to the War in Heaven and Crowley’s Fall in particular, so yes, I’m absolutely with you that it’s a possibility that should be considered (and would be extremely engaging to follow on screen). But remember that the food for the angels — manna or bread, according to the Bible — served in Heaven right before the Rebellion wasn’t meant to be good, at least not according to Crowley…

Which is why it feels worth to remind about my second pet theory relating to angels and food: that Supreme Archangel Aziraphale, a frighteningly skilful tempter as seen in his endeavours to invite as many humans as possible to his ball, will try to if not actually change Heaven from the inside, then at least sabotage its business operations by introducing his fellow angels to the temptations of the world they’re supposed to destroy. He’s a master of puppets in his own right, with 6000 years of on-hands experience.

After all, it took him 2500 years and a plate of ox ribs to get fully convinced that Heaven is something an angel can go along with only as far as he can. Who’s to say that the same approach won’t work on the rest of the Host too?

O4 thank you, next — awkward fancalls

notes; all of soobin’s accounts are yn and all of yns accounts are soobin until the end of their birthday

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

The call went through and you were soon faced with your two best friends staring right at you, or in this case Soobin, through your phone. For a split second you thought they were frozen from the way they weren’t moving until Hueningkai let out a screech of surprise and threw the phone.

“Hello?” You called out in a voice that wasn’t your own as you now had a view of their ceiling. A few seconds later Taehyun picked up the phone and slowly turned it to face them once again, but now both of their mouths were wide open.

“I can’t believe you’re Soobin,” Taehyun slowly murmurs, taking about a hundred screenshots, “Can you say my name?”

“Shut the fuck up and help me, Taehyun,” you deadpan, annoyed they weren’t seeing the severity of the situation.

“Don’t use his pretty mouth to curse!” Taehyun reprimands, “Now please make a cheek heart, I need a new profile photo for my stan twitter account.”

“I hate you guys,” you sigh, but you oblige.

“This feels like a fancall!” Hueningkai says as he claps, “Can you do aegyo?”

You’re about ready to hang up after that.

“Do you two believe me now?” You ask, nervously rubbing at your face, “What am I supposed to do?”

“Live life as Soobin I suppose?” Taehyun suggests, still intently staring at you, “Wow, his skin is beautiful up close.”

“I guess so,” you murder defeatedly, “Wait.”

You squint as the phone lights up with a notification. You tilt down the phone as it vibrates and you see your twitter username flashing across the top of your screen.

“Oh my god, I think Soobin’s texting me!” you gasp, “I’ll text you guys later.”

“Wait! How big is—,”

Thankfully, you end the call before Hueningkai can finish his sentence.

Us Against The World

Rosé x F! Reader Word Count:887 Warnings:none A/n:i need more music from Blackpink Requested

You and Rosie have been in a relationship for over two years now. Both of you are former members of the immensely popular girl groups Blackpink and Twice. Lately, fans have started to piece things together and are slowly realizing the depth of your connection, wondering if you're more than just close friends but actual lovers.

The suspicions among fans began to arise due to the amount of time you and Rosie spent together. Whether it's days spent in each other's company or those instances when one of you goes live on social media, the other always seems to be present in the background, fueling conspiracies and speculations.

"Here we go again," you remarked to your girlfriend as you scrolled through Twitter, encountering numerous posts speculating about your relationship. Chaeyoung glanced over, leaning in closer to take a look. "Should we just tell them?" she pondered.

You shook your head. "Nah, I think it's kind of amusing. Let's see if they can piece it together. Besides, we're not exactly hiding our relationship; they just can't figure out if we're friends or lovers," you said with a chuckle.

Chaeyoung chuckled along with you. "You're right. Let's post another picture on Instagram, something similar, and use similar captions. That'll definitely stir up some commotion," she said with a mischievous smile, reaching for her phone to find the perfect photo.

After exchanging mischievous grins, you and Chaeyoung decided on the perfect photo and crafted matching captions for your Instagram posts. The images were almost identical, capturing a candid moment of the two of you laughing together, bathed in golden sunlight. The captions were cryptic yet playful, leaving fans guessing about the true nature of your relationship.

Within moments of posting, your notifications exploded with activity. Fans immediately began dissecting every detail of the photos and captions, drawing comparisons and analyzing potential hidden meanings. The comments section quickly filled with a mix of excitement, confusion, and wild speculation.

"OMG, are they hinting at something?!" one fan exclaimed, while another wrote, "They're definitely more than just friends, look at the way they're looking at each other!" The similarities between your posts only fueled the frenzy, with fans sharing screenshots side by side, pointing out every tiny similarity and difference.

As the posts gained traction, your Instagram feeds became flooded with reactions from fans across the globe. Some were convinced that you and Chaeyoung were indeed a couple, while others argued that you were simply close friends and nothing more. The debate raged on, intensifying with each new comment and share.

Through it all, you and Chaeyoung watched the chaos unfold with amusement, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle you had created. It was a testament to the power of social media and the fervent dedication of your fans, whose imaginations ran wild as they tried to unravel the mystery of your relationship.

The day your relationship was inadvertently exposed was one for the books, filled with unexpected twists and turns that left you and Rosie both amused and slightly stunned. It happened in the picturesque city of Paris, where you were attending a prestigious fashion show as ambassadors for YSL.

What started as a quiet, romantic date that Rosie had planned turned into a whirlwind of events when an eagle-eyed fan spotted the two of you together. They followed discreetly, capturing candid moments on camera, but things took a surprising turn when they caught you and Rosie stealing a sweet kiss amidst the Parisian charm.

The fan wasted no time in sharing the incriminating evidence on Twitter, setting off a chain reaction that sent shockwaves through social media and beyond. The photos and videos quickly went viral, sparking a frenzy of speculation and discussion among fans and even grabbing the attention of local news outlets.

In the midst of the swirling emotions and intense scrutiny that followed the exposure of your relationship, you and Rosie found solace in each other's presence. As you retreated to the privacy of your shared space, the weight of the world seemed to lift off your shoulders, replaced by a sense of calm and reassurance.

"I can't believe how crazy things have gotten," Rosie remarked, her voice tinged with disbelief as she scrolled through the endless stream of comments on her phone.

You nodded in agreement, wrapping your arms around her in a comforting embrace. "I know, it's overwhelming. But we'll get through this together," you reassured her, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.

Despite the mixed reactions from fans and the media, you and Rosie remained steadfast in your commitment to each other. As you navigated the tumultuous waters of public scrutiny, you found strength in each other's unwavering support and love.

"It's like a rollercoaster ride," Rosie mused, a hint of amusement in her voice as she leaned into your embrace.

You chuckled softly, brushing a stray lock of hair away from her face. "Yeah, but at least we're in it together," you replied, smiling warmly at her.

In the face of adversity, your bond with Rosie only grew stronger, a beacon of light guiding you through the darkest of times. And as you weathered the storm of mixed emotions together, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, you would always have each other's backs. It was the two of you against the world.

Caitríona Balfe begins her new journey.

Enter the name of Caitríona Balfe (Dublin, 1979) in any internet search engine is to enter a universe of biographies that start with her career as a model, fans who admire her for her work in Outlander and information about the well-known series, which this year will broadcast its last season. Among the results it is also possible to find a video recorded in 2002, shortly before she participated in the parade of Victoria's Secret, in which they ask her about her acting studies and if she will resume her acting career. "I don't know, I have no plans, maybe," replies smiling and insecure a young woman who is barely over twenty. Four years later, aware of how important age is in the fashion world, the possibility became a fact.

"When you look back on your life, you realise that everything that has happened has brought you to where you are," explains the Irish actress.

"Every moment can feed your existence later on. I have been very lucky to have had an interesting life so far," she recognises.

A moment, the current one, in which the day to day that has marked her biography in the last 11 years has undergone a change, because the filming of the series that led her to world fame has ended. "I know I've been doing this for 15 years, but since I was in Outlander for so long I feel like I'm starting a journey," she confesses.

The first stop of this journey is The Amateur (April 11 in theatres), a feature film starring Rami Malek in which the actor known for playing Freddie Mer-cury in Bohemian Rhapsody, is Charlie Heller, a brilliant CIA decoder who makes revenge for the death of his wife, murdered by a terrorist group, his most personal mission. To carry out this bloody task, he will have the help of a computer hacker of Russian origin played by Balfe.

As Inquiline in The Amateur (2025). Blurry screenshot from PressReader’s presentation of the April 2025 issue of Mujerhoy (Spain)

"When I read the script I thought: "This is fun," she confesses, before adding that although "these action movies are dominated by force, because everything revolves around fights, The Amateur is a very intelligent and very funny version of the genre." Something that added to the admiration she feels for Malek - "He is a very interesting and unique actor" -, with whom she had not worked but whom she knew "socially because we coincided in the Golden Globes", made that in a break from the filming of the latest installment of Outlander changed the wardrobe of a doctor of the Century XX who travels in time 300 (stet) years through that of a woman who lives hidden today.

For the actress, the best thing about the character is that she is "A lone soul who lives in the shadows." She was inspired by Nadya Tolokonnikova, a member of the Pussy Riot, because she "tried to find someone who felt very comfortable in English but who had a Russian origin," because of the accent of her character, but also because of her motivations. "I really enjoyed finding in it a commitment to justice and integrity that is not contaminated by the influence of a regime," she acknowledges.

The revenge that moves Malek's character, and hers, is for the actress "very interesting to portray, because it is very different for each person: in some it is debilitating and paralyses them by complete; in others it drives them forward and leads them to do really incredible things. That's a point where my role and Malek's diverge, but it also gives them this place where they connect deeply," she explains.

A child's dream with an unexpected diversion

Fourth of five siblings and with two other foster children at home, Caitríona Balfe grew up in rural Ireland dreaming of being an actress. "It was that annoying girl," she shares smiling, "who has been doing small performances at home since she was three or four years old. My father used to do comic sketches with his friends, so I think, somehow, it was in my genes." So when the time came to choose a career, she opted for interpretation. But he didn't expect that, while helping some friends raise funds for multiple sclerosis, a man who worked for a modelling agency in Dublin would give her her card and, little later, a French agency hired him to work as a model in Paris.

She paraded for firms such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel, but she defined herself as a "blue collar model", those who live in the step before the supermodels and go unnoticed.

When in the 2000s she decided to return to the path of acting, she moved to Los Angeles and went back to classes. "I was very lucky because I met great teachers and it helped me regain confidence," she shares after recognising that "when you come from the world of fashion, you feel comfortable with rejection." After getting small roles in movies and series, in 2013 she had not worked for several months when her agent proposed to present himself to the audition of Outlander. In the absence of news, she organised a vacation that she finally had to cancel because she was asked to travel to London for the final audition. After getting the role with which she became famous, she decided that she would change Los Angeles for Scotland for a Year.

More than a decade later, she still lives in Glasgow and enjoys spending time with her son, "because it was hard not to do it in recent years." A project as long-lived as the series based on Diana Gabaldón's novels has been a "very hectic time, as if you were on a train that never stops." That unstoppable convoy took her, among other destinations, to work in Belfast, the film by Kenneth Branagh with which she got a Golden Globe nomination. "Now I enjoy the luxury of taking some time and choosing good projects," she admits, expectant of the direction taken by her new, although experienced, career.

TALKING ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MELANIE MARTINEZ:

In November of 2017, Timothy tweeted "what if I have my own story of a*use but I'm scared to ruin the persons life and I still love them in a f*cked up way and the public really loves them and most probably wouldn't believe me".

On December 4, 2017, Timothy publicly accused Melanie of s*xual as*ault on Twitter. She alleged two nights during which she "repeatedly said no" to advances from Melanie, claiming she kept secret for years and describing how Melanie had performed s*xual act*vities on her without her consent.

Melanie replied to the accusation shortly after claiming Timothy's allegation was false:

"I am horrified and saddened by the statements and story told tonight by Timothy Heller. What she and I shared was a close friendship for a period of time. We came into each other's lives as we were both starting our careers as artists, and tried to help each other. We both had pain in dealing with our individual d*mons and the new paths we were forging, but I truly felt we were trying to lift each other up. She never said no to what we chose to do together. And although we parted ways, I am sending her love and light always." (In case the picture is blurry).

- Melanie Martinez

In an interview with Newsweek, Timothy claimed that Melanie tried to contact both her and her boyfriend around 20 minutes after publishing the accusations through text and phone calls. No evidence to back this up was ever shared. In the aforementioned interview, Timothy went on to say that Melanie's dismissal of her account "says it all":

First of all, I did say 'no,' multiple times, but even if I hadn't, that doesn't mean I wanted it. She dug her own grave saying, 'she didn't say no'. That's not consent."

On December 10, Melanie thanked her fans who supported her after the accusations.

"I understand how hard it could be to see my side of the story, considering no one with a heart would want to invalidate anyone speaking up about this topic. I want to thank my fans who took the time to research the timeline, analyze past Instagram photos, and question the story being told, which reveal her false statements. I trusted so many people in my life who took advantage of that trust for their own personal gain. Please know that my intentions with everything that I do in my life are always pure and I would never be i*timate with someone without their absolute consent." (In case the picture is blurry).

- Melanie Martinez

On July 19, 2024, 6 years after the controversy, Timothy posted a 6-minute video onto TikTok detailing how she had been h*rassed and bullied off the internet due to speaking up about the all*gations. She also said that she felt "quite validated" from Melanie's response due to Melanie admitting that the two had something take place between them.

Now, before anyone says something like "Oh wow you're supporting a 🍇pist" "You support 🍇pe" "Can't believe you believe Melanie" etc. I don't believe anyone, I'm not picking sides neither I'm trying to start a fight or offend anyone. I've been getting a lot of hate about the whole situation from people who don't even know me, saying stuff like "You support 🍇pe" "I hope you get 🍇ped too" "Supporting a 🍇pist" and really mean and offensive stuff like that. I DO NOT support 🍇pe. I just wanted to clear some things out, just because I'm a fan of Melanie doesn't mean I support everything she does and believe in everything she says etc. I'm just a fan and nothing more, I DO NOT care about her personal LIFE or what she DOES. I just listen to her music and art. I'm not trying to offend anyone or anything. And I'm not saying you shouldn't express your thoughts or opinions on the whole situation or anything like that. Neither I'm saying you are in the wrong if you believe Timothy/Melanie. All I'm trying to say is we shouldn't judge or pick sides because only Melanie and Timothy know what truly happened. We might never know the truth, and that's totally okay. The only people who can judge each other are Melanie and Timothy. We don't even know what happened. Timothy could be lying, Melanie could be lying, who knows? Also, Melanie hasn't been proven GUILTY neither is Timothy's story INVESTIGATED or proven to be TRUE.

Another thing I want to point out is that even tho Timothy claims to be traumatised by Melanie and the whole situation etc. Timothy in 2015/2016 had dressed up as Melanie:

( 1st photo edited by me (I mean how I compared the pictures) , please give credits if you use etc. Thank you 🌬️🤍).

I'm sure you don't dress up as someone who has done something so serious and mean to you.

Not to mention when Timothy said the date that apparently the whole situation happened Melanie was in another state on the "CRYBABY TOUR". The last time I checked, you couldn't f*ck someone from that far away. (Not trying to offend anyone). And she also has claimed that she didn't remember the date that well yet she is still giving us a date.

Anyways, that's all I have to say, if you read all that, thank you, I really appreciate it. 🌬️🤍

( By the way, this is MY opinion about the whole situation. NOT trying to start a fight, be mean or offend anyone. Saying this so that there won't be any misunderstandings or false information 💕🩹).
