the halifax mass shooting plot or der untergang

what was this? who planned it? where?

the halifax mass shooting plot was the idea that lindsay souvannarath, james gamble, and randall ’randy’ shepherd came up with to commit a mass shooting at a shopping centre in halifax, nova scotia, on valentine’s day.

more on who

lindsay souvannarath was 23 years old when she was arrested. she was born in chicago, illinois, on january 9, 1992, and lived there up until the time of the planned shooting. she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. she’s still serving her sentence, and her most recent request for appeal in 2019 was denied.

james gamble was 19 years old at the time of his death on february 12, 2015. he was born in halifax, nova scotia, on august 6, 1995. there doesn’t seem to be much information available about what was done with his remains after death.

randall ‘randy’ shepherd was 20 years old when he was arrested on february 13. he was born in victoria, british columbia, on july 4, 1994. shortly after his birth, he and his family moved to halifax, nova scotia. he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to 10 years in jail. he was released due to statutory release in 2021 after serving seven years and four months; however, he was ordered to stay off the internet and was to live in a halfway house in nova scotia.

how did randy and james meet?

both randy and james attended a high school located a short distance outside of halifax, which is where “they met and bonded over metal music, horror movies, marijuana, and a shared fascination with death and morbidity, often focusing on school shootings and mass murders.”

both were described as having increasing mental struggles following up to the incident.

as time passed, james considered committing a mass killing in halifax. he asked randy to be his partner in crime, who refused but continued to be a willing audience to his ideas.

how did lindsay meet them? what was her relationship with james like?

on december of 2014, james began to follow lindsay because of a “justgirlythings” meme she had posted onto her tumblr. it was captioned “not being able to live without your best friend” and was edited to have the columbine library photo underneath. they started messaging on facebook after this and formed a friendship quickly.

court documents state lindsay and james would repeatedly claim that they were adopting the personas of eric harris and dylan klebold, respectively. lindsay even said she felt the spirit of eric harris was taking over her body at times. they would refer to each other as reb and vodka and often speak of going “nbk” and quote passages to each other from the journals of the columbine shooters.

they also had a similar taste in music and lindsay introduced him to national socialist black metal.

their friendship blossomed into something more sexual that included sending nudes and sexting as they began to plan the shooting and then into something romantic as james began to show a lot of affection and attachment.

they expressed that they believed they were fated to each other and that their destiny was to commit this massacre and to die together. they “just felt like their relationship was destiny.”

the preparation

one of the first things they did was start thinking of possible locations. lindsay left most of that up to james. he came up with various ideas, such as a hospital, a library, and an elementary school, all of which lindsay disagreed with because she thought they would send the wrong message.

one location she ended up agreeing to was a mall.

“it was kind of this symbolism of western decadence and the modern world in general. just the idea of this place where people go to consume. it seemed like it would be a protest against capitalism, against consumerism, against greed.”

“i believe it was the film dawn of the dead that had zombies attacking the shopping mall, and it was supposed to be like this metaphor for our modern society and how obsessed with consumption it is. so i thought that would be perfect.”

in february of 2015, james and randy went to the halifax shopping centre and filmed videos of where the shooting was planned to happen. these were referred to as their “basement tapes.”

in one of these videos, they discussed how the temporary walls in the food court might block some of the shots, and randy stated that if at least one person from his high school was killed, the attack would be worth it. in another one of these, james calmly stares into the camera and says, “you're lucky i couldn’t get any more bullets.”

the plan

the mass shooting was to take place on valentines day, february 14, at the halifax shopping centre food court. the shopping centre was chosen with the intention to cause “mass panic.” (the date of the shooting was switched due to price increases on tickets. the original date was february 1st. james had the idea to change the date to valentines day because there would be more people in the food court and the time and he believed it would be more shocking.)

lindsay would travel by air to halifax to meet james on february 13.

james was to shoot both of his parents before lindsay arrived.

they would both then spend the night together in the gamble residence.

randy hoped to be shot and killed by james the same evening as a form of assisted suicide. (lindsay was not involved with this part of the plan). james wanted randy to make a video recording of the shooting instead of committing suicide.

the next day they would begin the shooting in the food court, which was the area they believed would provide them the most cover.

they were going to go into the food court bathrooms, change outfits, get their weapons and come out and open fire.

they were going to start the shooting by throwing molotov cocktails into the food court. (randy was to provide six bottles for the molotov cocktails.)

james was to arm himself with his father’s lever-action hunting rifle along with a hunting knife.

lindsay would be armed with his father’s single-action 16-gauge shotgun.

each was to wear previously selected death outfits that, in many ways, were chosen to pay tribute to the columbine shooters.

they wanted to shoot as many people as their ammunition allowed.

they were going to save their last bullets for themselves and “just like columbine” they would kneel facing each other and shoot themselves on the count of three.

what actually happened

the morning of feburary 12, 2015, lindsay snuck out of her family home and began the trip to halifax. she described herself as “very eager, very excited, very very thrilled to be leaving home.”

james then faltered in his plans to murder his parents and sent lindsay a facebook message that read, “i’m going to have to wait until tomorrow to kill them” and “you’ll have to stay at randy’s for the night.”

the same day of february 12, crime stoppers received an anonymous tip. a summary of the tip is as follows:

two people are posting on social media sites that they plan to shoot up the mall in halifax, nova scotia.

the two people are obsessed with school shootings.

a female is to leave chicago on a delta airlines flight to meet up with a male who has weapons for them to use.

the female is asian, known as lindsay, last name unknown but begins with “s”, she is approximately twenty-three years old, born 01-16-92 and is 5’3’’ tall and weighs 90lbs. lindsay has black shoulder length hair, which is dyed red right now and she wears brown framed glasses;

lindsay is friends with the male, james gamble;

lindsay has multiple social media accounts such as a facebook under the name “lindsay shubniggurath”, a tumblr account under the name “cockswastika”, and skype account under the name “thenewheresy”.

the male is james gamble, white male, nineteen years old, born 08-06-95, and is described as very skinny with dark brown hair parted to one side;

james gamble lives in halifax, nova scotia;

the anonymous source has not met james gamble in person;

james gamble is lindsay’s friend from online;

james has several social media accounts such as a facebook account under the name “james gamble” and a tumblr account under the name “shallowexistences”.

the canadian border services agency was contacted and issued a lookout to their agents to identify anyone who might match the description of the female.

soon officers arrived at the gamble residence in timberlea, nova scotia. james was contacted by telephone and suggested to exit the residence, which he agreed to do. instead, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a single bullet from his father’s hunting rifle.

as previously agreed on, shepherd arrived at the stanfield international airport by city bus to pick up lindsay. he messaged lindsay and reiterated that james was behind on schedule killing his parents and that she would have to stay with him for the night.

lindsay landed in halifax at midnight, february 13th. at 12:10am she presented herself to primary immigration and spoke to a CBSA agent. the national lookout did not raise a flag at the time.

the CBSA agent was concerned by lindsay regardless. she communicated to him that she flew to canada on a one way ticket, had only $33, and did not know where her boyfriend lived. the agent thought that she may have been attempting to bring drugs into canada and noted that “she had very bad teeth and her complexion was very bad with scars on her face. this made me think that she may be on drugs.”

the agent directed lindsay to a secondary immigration examination as well as a secondary customs inspection.

she was questioned at secondary immigration by an agent. the agent questioned lindsay and confirmed that she didn’t know where she was going, had a small amount of money, and did not have a return ticket. lindsay communicated that she was in halifax to have a “memorable” valentine’s day weekend with her boyfriend who she had previously met online. she further communicated that randy was at the airport to pick her up, which was confirmed by CBSA officials.

the contents of her luggage were searched. she had little with her, aside from some makeup, her death outfit, and two books on serial killers.

while she was being dealt with by agents, officials reviewed the national lookout and determined that lindsay may be the person of interest.

police soon arrived at the airport and quickly arrested both randy and lindsay.

their online trail

they left a steady trail of posts referencing the planned shooting. there was a playlist posted on lindsay's tumblr blog to “cement the aesthetic” along with countless other posts hinting towards their plan. lindsay also queued her manifesto to post on her blog after the shooting.

You were walking into London Colony when you were suddenly stopped by Mark, Arsenals media director “Hey Y/n, how have you been.” You smiled at the camera “all good Mark how are you.” Mark smiled zooming in on your face slightly before speaking “I’m good thanks, just wondering what’s your phone screen.” You laughed lightly pulling your hands phone out of your back pocket before looking down at the photo and smiling. It was no secret you and Alessia Russo were dating, she’s the reason you played for Arsenal but what fans didn’t know was how long your relationship had actually been going on for. Turning your phone you should the photo “it’s a picture of my two brothers Nick and Joey, Tesoro Mio Alessia and both her brothers Luca and Gio.” You paused allowing Mark to zoom in before continuing on “it was taken at the NFC Championship game in 2019, which was Nicks first season in the NFL and all my family where there as well as Alessia’s as we all brought our partners and their family so it was a big day but I love my brothers, and when I’m here Gio and Luca are like my brothers and of course I love Alessia so yeah that’s my screensaver hasn’t changed since 2019 and it probably won’t anytime soon.” Mark laughed thanking you as you walked away with a red face.

It was a quite night both you and Alessia where cuddled up on your couch in St Albans when you both got a notification from the media team saying their latest video was out, you both normally ignored them but you wanted to see Alessia’s reaction to you telling the world how long you had been together so you turned it on. “Oh I love these, it’s such a cute trend.” You laughed as Alessia buried her head further into your chest as you ran your fingers through her blond hair. You smiled as you watched yourself come up on the screen and felt Alessia tense slightly “oh my god, Sole.” You blushed as she looked up at you “I can’t believe you still have that as your Lock Screen.” You mumbled kissing her head “of course I do it’s my favourite photo.” Alessia stretched up to kiss you before turning back to the Tv listening to you explain the meaning behind it before it cut to her walking into the training ground.

“Morning Alessia, how are you.” Alessia beamed happily at the older man “hi Mark all good thanks and you.” Mark smiled at the blonde “I’m good, just wondering what’s your screen saver.” Alessia looked at her phone “it’s a photo of Ella and El mio sole Y/n at the Euros in 2022, Ella pulled her over the barrier with the help of my brothers and then proceeded to jump on Y/ns back and then this photo is of me and Y/n after winning the NCAA I asked her to be my girlfriend shortly after and the rest is history.” Mark smiled “so the photos mean a lot to you.” Alessia smiled nodding “definitely both her and Ella mean a lot to me and that moment is something I just love looking back on.” You turned looking down at the blonde “you’re going to make me cry.” Alessia sat up grabbing your face laughing “naw don’t cry, I love you and I love those moments and memories with you.” You leaned your head against hers “I love every moment with you.” Alessia pecked your lips “Te amo, el mio sole.” You pulled her forward locking your lips together as you kissed her passionately “Ti amo, La Mia vita.”

Heyyyyy, how are you lovely person??

I just wanted to ask your opinion about these translated twitter event photos I found on the wiki, I think you probably know them (You have a very detailed masterlist that requires tons of research, so I assume you stumbled upon them some time) .

Anyways what do you think???

Also have an amazing day!!

I think they're from official BSD twitter account, I don't know who translated them and they seem to stop after 2019.

Akutagawa is so silly

Hi lovely person! Thank you for sending these in!! Even though I was aware of them, it's been a very long time since I've read them / some I never got around to reading at all, so thank you for prompting me to explore them at all!!!

I love Akutagawa he's very cute ahah. In the manga I feel like he's often oscillating between cool and pathetic, but here it's clear which direction he's verging more towards ahah. More sporadic thoughts are:

KAJII GIVING AKUTAGAWA CHOCOLATE FOR VALENTINE'S !!!!!!

Akutagawa accepting Higuchi's chocolate!!!!!

Atsushi saying that Akutagawa would make even green onions look like a weapon makes me think of those Miku arts with leek swords

“I hope you're still alive by then” so you agree. You hope for Atsushi to keep living

Mmmmmmhhh..................... I'm constantly torn on the matter of Akutagawa's profiles always being about Dazai. Because like, it's not like it's not in character, you know? Akutagawa's every thought and action always comes back to Dazai, everything he does is with Dazai in mind. That's canon. It's just also a little bitter to witness (╥﹏╥) Not even necessarily in a bad way, it just contributes to make his character quite tragic.

Another one I find worth of being mentioned (yay for dog coding and degradation of self!):

I can't find any other source for these translations other than the bsd wiki, so I think they were originally uploaded there. Some of the events were also translated on Tumblr by user @/looking-for-stray-dogs if you'd like to check them out! (see the section “Anime Materials” )

Relaunching Again

Meghan has Emily Andrews hyping up another career rebrand and relaunch.

Which got me thinking...how many times has Meghan's PR hinted, alleged, teased a return to social media or a new career relaunch? How many rumors has her PR started to hype up her rebrand, relaunch, or return?

Let us count the ways!

We'll start in August 2022, because that was when she finally got the brand launch/rollout she expected from Megxit that the pesky little pandemic kept her from getting. So, in August 2022:

She hinted to The Cut that she was coming back to social media.

She hinted that she was writing her memoirs and looking for a publisher.

She teased that she and Harry were renewing their wedding vows.

In September 2022:

She hinted that she was willing to come back to the BRF and relaunch Duchess brand.

She shopped her memoirs again.

In October 2022:

She hinted to Variety that she was relaunching both her acting career and feminist activism.

She hinted that she and Harry wanted to live in Windsor Castle and would come back to the BRF.

She denied to Fortune that she would ever be back on social media (debunking her own rumor from August/The Cut). She mustn't have gotten any interest or traction from sponsors or followers.

She teased that Harry's memoir would turn him into an exalted American leader in the company of Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg. (Seriously. I kid you not.)

In November 2022:

There was a leak that she had been contacting brands, companies, and fashion houses that she was available for merching since she was returning to social media .

In December 2022:

She hinted that her family's Christmas photo would launch her new social media.

Also in 2022: (I didn't catch dates for these)

She hinted intentions to run for President or other U.S. political office.

She hinted intentions to lobby for a Department of State foreign ambassadorship posting.

It was leaked that she planned to rebrand Archewell as a "royal warrant"-like endorsement brand for travel, restaurants, stores in return for freebies and merch.

It was also leaked that way back in August 2019, she wanted to relaunch as an American royal by having a partnership with the US Open (like how Kate represents/partners with Wimbledon).

In January 2023:

She teased launching a housewares and beauty brand.

She hinted that she would relaunch her social media for Valentine's Day.

She hinted a Hollywood A-List reset by suggesting she would be in a Beyonce documentary.

In February 2023:

She hinted her social media would come at the end of the month.

She hinted that she and Harry were available for opportunities in Australia (i.e., they wanted a fauxyal tour of Australia but they also wanted to get paid for goign to Australia).

She teased launching a California casual clothing brand.

She hinted at relaunching her political career and hinted her availability/interest to be a recess appointee to California's congressional delegation.

She hinted relaunching her calligraphy company.

In March 2023:

She hinted returning to social media for the Met Gala.

She hinted at wanting to move out of the US to a private island-type of place.

She hinted that Archewell would become a production company for female-driven storytelling, like a more prestigious Hallmark.

In April 2023:

She hinted returning to social media for May 6th, Archie's very very important not-to-be-missed milestone birthday.

She hinted returning to social media for Mother's Day. (The US celebrates Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.)

She teased Archetypes Season 2.

She hinted a return to acting/Hollywood and teased a producing partnership with Mindy Kaling.

She teased relaunching The Tig in June 2023.

She hinted her career relaunch and social media rebrand would exclude Harry.

She shopped her memoirs again.

In May 2023:

Her PR put out feelers for her and Harry to appear on the morning talk shows to give interviews about their "catastrophic car chase."

She hinted that she wanted her own daytime talk show.

She teased an appearance on Property Brothers IOU.

She hinted at being Gayle's first guest on her new "King Charles" CNN show.

In June 2023:

She hinted that she was launching a subscription box service, like Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop.

In July 2023:

She hinted that she was partnering with Hilaria Baldwin on the subscription box service.

She hinted she was open for acting jobs.

In August 2023:

Her PR dropped her new Instagram handle and hinted she would be back "soon," suggesting that the relaunch would start with a never-before-seen photograph of her chidlren with The late Queen in a tribute on the anniversary of The Queen's passing.

She hinted a Tig relaunch in September 2023.

She hinted she was developing her own wine brand.

She hinted returning to the royal fold with another round of peace talks with the BRF that would take place in September 2023.

She hinted wanting to come back to be a royal again.

In September 2023:

She hinted returning to social media and relaunching The Tig in November 2023 when Endgame is published.

She teased her memoirs again.

In October 2023:

She hinted launching new social media on November 1.

More memoir teasing.

She hinted that she was being blocked from pursuing politics by Michelle Obama. (Okay, this one doesn't count as a rebrand or relaunch, but I think it's funny. Like Michelle Obama really spends time thinking of and worrying about Meghan Markle when she, and her husband, very publicly chose the BRF over the Sussexes.)

So by the numbers...it's 48 total attempts to rebrand, relaunch, reset, or return. No wonder Meghan needs a vacation for every 2 hours of work! It's exhausting trying to decide who (and what) she wants to be.

And out of all 48 hints, only 1 came to pass: rebranding Archewell as female-driven storytelling and content creation.

Here's the Emily Andrews article.

Edit: 11/17/23 - I added a jump cut to make this post shorter for easier reblogs later since I plan to keep adding onto this.

[canisonicscrewyou]

Okay here’s the thing, some of you are asking for the 2019 Aziracrow Cosplay Pics** in my inbox, and upon reflection how could we not. You’re gonna get so much more lore than you could’ve ever asked for or wanted,though. This is a long post, and I almost want to apologize for it. **Pre-HRT baby face pics ahead

For context, Damien and I have known each other since freshmen year of high school, 2012. In fact, we had like no classes together, and whenever one of us mentioned our nerd shit in class the first couple of days, kids kept telling us we HAD to meet each other. We finally met in a history class after they got transferred into it, and exchanged fandom memes back and forth after school on the sidewalk that day until our rides picked us up, and pretty much from then on freshmen year EVERYONE thought and asked if we were two little queer kids dating in our Catholic School.

And of course we weren’t— we just sat in each others’ laps a lot, or grabbed at each other a lot, and were a little inseparable for a while. Neither of us read anything into this. We were also, very importantly, cringey little 14-15 year old SuperWhoLock girlies, only I didn’t watch Supernatural, and they didn’t really watch Doctor Who, and we both thought Sherlock was pretty good. We supplemented our own love for our special little shows for the other. We were so inseparable that Damien’s 1-month-long-freshmen-boyfriend got them a Doctor Who gift for Valentine’s Day. The key to the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS. (My favorite, at the time, and also one that I knew they definitely sold at the comic book shop up the block.) They break up with him for giving them chocolates with nuts(allergy), and immediately give my little autistic ass the TARDIS key at lunch. Neither of us read anything into this. This is a common theme.

Damien, at some point, tells me to read a book they love, Good Omens. Due to my brain being the way it is, it takes about 3-4 business years, until college, to read Good Omens at their recommendation.

Damien is one of my best friends throughout high school and college. I also think it’s important to note that they were a jock, and I was a theatre kid. And the only time I convinced them to do something, a haunted house, with the drama club, to share a hobby maybe, they got hit in the head with a lightsaber by a 1st grader and needed stitches immediately after we started.

ANYWAYS.

I get Damien into cosplay a year or so later- 2013? 2014?

But it also takes us years to cosplay together- we would help with each others’ cosplays a lot. By that I mean I built a bunch of their props and they helped by getting the supplies with me and generally just hanging out. It takes us until 2019 to cosplay together.

Good Omens is out on Amazon Prime.

We text each other.

“Do you want to do a couple’s cosplay of this?

Yes, yes of course I do.

And yes, of course you’re Crowley, and of course I’m Aziraphale. And of course I’m Crowley, and of course you’re Aziraphale.”

Pretty much every week that summer, we built our wings from scratch, from wire and masking tape and ethically sourced goose and duck feathers and mall Chinese food. We go out and plan and shop for our gay little outfits. We sit and talk in their car, in my driveway, for ages every time, every night.

Another fun fact: this was the same convention that I painstakingly painted their tits blue for. And also painstakingly helped them wash blue off of in the shower, drunk, later that night. Unrelated, Aziraphale was the first cosplay I felt comfortable in.

Another fun fact: while getting ready for the photo shoot we booked that morning, my family dog scared my cat Almondmilk, and he peed all over my Aziraphale cosplay, and I yelled a bit. Our photographer rescheduled, blessedly, and a few hours later our photographer was asking how we wanted to stage the kiss, since of COURSE there had to be a kiss, but instead we sort of just—

“We’re really good friends— We’ve known each other since high school— We’ve already seen so much of each other this is no big deal— Do you need another shot?”

“Uh-huh,” Our photographer says, knowingly. “I think maybe one more, if we’re comfortable with—“

“Oh yeah, no problem at all-“

“Uh-huh, Yeah,” Our photographer says, knowingly. “Tilt your head up more.”

Not many couples can say they somehow managed to get their first kiss documented and edited in HD.

Damien got nauseous at the last day of the con, and the only thing we had to help were these honey sticks from a tea shop booth. They couldn’t open the little sticks themself, with their fangs in, so I took them and ripped them open with my teeth to give to them. Completely, totally unrelated, though, I think this was the summer I began to realize, perhaps realize once more, that I was so absolutely done for for Damien.

Anyways all of that went SO well, that we were planning every Ineffable Husbands cosplay we could. Somehow, our most logical next choice was a fun and very quick, messy little boudoir photo shoot in my college dorm room, while they were visiting me 3+ hours away from their school.

Down so bad you lovingly pack wigs to go to college with so that you can have your best friend sit in your lap for your little ship.

We did that as Just Good Friends, literally in front of an old friend who took the photos and helped us stage the poses a bit.

We went to sleep that night in that bed. It was big enough to fit 3, maybe even 4 people if you were in a pinch. The bed was not treated like it was that big. (Note, we now sleep on a full sized bed, and it’s suddenly too small.)

And we talked for a while and we went to bed and all I could think about was how much I loved them no matter the sense of the word. And how many nights we sat talking in your car in my driveway for way too long, wondering if I should ask if I could kiss you. (A quick pronoun change, because I know you’re reading this.)

And

Nothing

Came

Of

This

For

LIKE

FOUr

MORE

YEARS.

Just good friends. Just good, good friends.

And that’s how Good Omens helped me realize, in retrospect of 2019, how in love I was with my Crowley best friend.

Before Taylor Swift was sparking headlines about "squad goals" or attracting throngs of Hollywood stars to The Eras Tour, she and Dianna Agron were nearly inseparable.

The "Style" singer and "Glee" star became close in 2012 and were quickly identified in the media as "blonde BFFs." However, the following year, Swift and Agron suddenly seemed to lose touch. They haven't been spotted together since 2014.

Keep scrolling to see everything we know about the once-close pair.

They became friends while Swift was working on 'Red'

It's unclear how and when Swift and Agron met. In 2010 and 2011, Swift became friendly with "Glee" stars like Cory Monteith and Chord Overstreet, so it's possible the women were introduced by Agron's castmates. They both attended the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, but there's no evidence they interacted.

Swift and Agron were spotted in public for the first time on September 4, 2011 at a flea market in Los Angeles. Swift was between shows on the Speak Now World Tour, while Agron had recently wrapped a series of Glee Live! concerts.

By this time, we know that Swift was in the process of creating her fourth album because she had already written "All Too Well."

According to her diary excerpts (released alongside "Lover" in 2019), the beloved song was conceived in February 2011. She decided to name the album "Red" in September 2011.

January 7, 2012: Agron tweeted that Swift looked 'beautiful' on the cover of Vogue

Swift was photographed by Mario Testino for the February 2012 issue of Vogue, for which she was given retro-style bangs. According to a behind-the-scenes video, the photoshoot took place on the eve of her 22nd birthday.

"Taylor looks all kinds of 70's beautiful....and love a hat! Great job," Agron wrote on Twitter, tagging both Vogue and Swift.

For some reason, in early 2012, tabloids ran wild with a theory that Agron was dating NFL quarterback Tim Tebow while Swift was harboring a "puppy dog" crush on him.

During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Agron quashed the rumors. She clarified that she had a "10-minute chat" with Tebow and hadn't seen him since.

Kimmel also asked her to address her relationship with Swift: "Are you dating her? That would be great."

"Wouldn't that be juicy?" Agron replied, blowing a kiss to the camera and adding, "Hi Taylor."

April 24, 2012: They wore vintage gowns and flower crowns to celebrate Shirley MacLaine's birthday

Swift, who costarred with MacLaine in the 2010 film "Valentine's Day," played dress-up with Agron and two more friends in honor of the actor's 78th birthday. The small group shared photos of the occasion on social media, though most have since been deleted.

"We dressed up full-time fancy and went out in celebration of Shirley MacLaine's birthday," Swift wrote on Twitter, per E! News.

"Had a long day & don't know what to celebrate later…? Because you need a moment to be young? Find your moments," Agron added in her own tweet.

April 28, 2012: Swift celebrated Agron's 26th birthday

Swift wore a tiger costume for Agron's circus-themed birthday party, which she called "the most magical night" on Twitter.

Swift was spotted in the famous East Coast town during Fourth of July weekend, mostly hanging out at the Kennedy compound. She was accompanied by Agron and their friend Claire Kislinger (neé Winter), according to the Boston Herald and Us Weekly.

Kerry Townsend, the granddaughter of Ethel Kennedy, tweeted at the time: "Arrived at my Grandma's house to find her chilling with Taylor Swift and Dianna Agron. I hope I'm this cool when I'm 83!"

October 22, 2012: Swift released 'Red,' which includes a dedication to Agron

Swift is known for leaving coded messages for fans in the liner notes of her album. The secret message for "22" was four names: "Ashley Dianna Claire Selena."

In addition to Agron and Kislinger, these most likely refer to stylist Ashley Avignone and Selena Gomez. The song is about spending a carefree night with friends, though hints of ill-advised romance are sprinkled in: "You look like bad news / I gotta have you."

There could be another reference to Agron in the liner notes for "Everything Has Changed." The song's secret message is "Hyannis Port," where Swift spent some time with green-eyed Conor Kennedy that summer. ("All I've seen since 18 hours ago / Is green eyes and freckles and your smile," Swift sings.)

However, many fans have noticed that "Hyannis Port" is actually misspelled in the liner notes as "Hyiannis Port," which mirrors the spelling of Dianna (who also has green eyes).

The day that "Red" was released, Agron congratulated Swift on Twitter with a screenshot of her phone playing "Everything Has Changed."

December 3, 2012: Swift and Agron both attended the Ripple of Hope gala

Swift and Conor Kennedy reportedly split in October 2012 after a few months of dating. However, later that year, Swift was still honored with the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights.

The annual gala was held at the Mariott Marquis in New York City. According to E! News, Swift had Agron "by her side" throughout the event. She also performed "Starlight," a song from "Red" that was inspired by Ethel and Bobby Kennedy.

"Was a beautiful night last night. The RFK foundation provides help to so many truly deserving," Agron tweeted. "Plus @taylorswift13 was truly lovely."

April 2013: A fake artice, which claimed Swift and Agron were dating, went semi-viral

Shortly after Swift embarked on the Red Tour, a doctored screenshot from a fake tabloid began circulating on Twitter. The headline from Stars Daily, which does not exist, said "Taylor Swift is in a new relationship...but it's not what you expected."

"Country pop singer Taylor Swift has confirmed being in a relationship with Glee star Dianna Agron," the fake article continued. "Lesbi-honest! Right after the rumors were confirmed, the two were spotted out on a dinner date." (The attached photo was from Swift and Agron's dinner at Dominick's in 2012.)

On April 23, 2013, "Skins" actor Dakota Blue Richards tweeted about the rumor: "So apparently Taylor Swift and Dianna Agron are dating. Sorry Brangelina, you just got taken over as the worlds hottest couple."

Neither Swift nor Agron publicly responded to the rumor. But Richards' reaction seemed to increase its virality, and the following day, Agron deleted her Tumblr.

"Thank you friends for following the journey," she wrote in her final post. "But as an old chapter closes, a new chapter begins."

September 4, 2013: Swift, Agron, and other friends went to a Fun. concert

"Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland shared a video from backstage at the Fun. concert, which took place at the Greek in Los Angeles. Swift is featured in the short clip, while Agron is briefly shown standing off to the side.

"Watching @OurNameIsFun live tonight at the Greek was unforgettable," Swift wrote on Twitter, per Taste of Country. "Such incredible musicians and showmen. It was just SO good."

Two days later, Agron also tweeted an inside joke about the concert, tagging Swift.

This seemed to be the last time they intentionally hung out (at least in public).

October 27, 2014: Swift released the deluxe version of '1989,' which includes a breakup song called 'Wonderland'

The lyrics of "Wonderland" clearly reference "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the 1865 novel by Lewis Carroll. When Swift performed the "1989" deluxe track as a surprise song on The Eras Tour, she said it was a "twisted" take on the fairy tale.

In the song, Swift describes her muse as having green eyes and a "Cheshire Cat smile." She says they "fell down the rabbit hole" and got lost in Wonderland, all without considering the consequences.

"Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?" she sings in the pre-chorus, a reference to Alice's observation that "curiosity often leads to trouble."

Swift concludes in the bridge: "In the end, in Wonderland / We both went mad."

Some fans have drawn a connection between "Wonderland" and Agron, who has repeatedly tweeted about her love for Alice.

"I love 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'The Hobbit,'" Agron said in a 2011 interview with Elle. "Those books got me into reading and storytelling — I could escape to a different world."

Indeed, Agron reportedly had a Tumblr, deleted in 2013, that was called "felldowntherabbithole."

She also had a reference to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" tattooed on her ribcage: "We're all mad here," which is a quote from the Cheshire Cat. Fans noticed that Agron was in the process of removing her tattoo in 2017.

November 23, 2014: They had a brief interaction at the 2014 American Music Awards

Although she spent most of the evening with Karlie Kloss, photographers did catch Swift having a moment with Agron at the 2014 AMAs, where she also performed her single "Blank Space."

This was the last time Swift and Agron were seen together in public. Notably, Agron did not appear among Swift's many celebrity friends in the 2015 "Bad Blood" music video, which seemed to confirm they were no longer close.

October 5, 2019: Agron went to 'SNL' when Swift was the musical guest

Agron was photographed leaving 30 Rock after "Saturday Night Live" finished filming. Swift was that night's musical guest — she performed "False God" and the title track from "Lover" — but there's no evidence she interacted with Agron inside.

May 7, 2023: Agron was asked about rumors that she and Swift were 'in a relationship'

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Agron was asked about her influence on Swift's music, specifically "22."

"Me? Oh, if only! That's more because of a friendship than being the inspiration for the song," she replied. "But I would not be the person to ask about that. I cannot claim that!"

The reporter also asked how Agron felt about being "shipped" with Swift, which he explained as, "You two were made out by the media and some fans to be in a relationship."

In response, Agron described the speculation as "so interesting."

"I… I mean, there have been many stories about my dating life that are so wildly untrue. That's funny," she said.

I’m sorry but they haven’t. Kelly just went to her sisters wedding which Max couldn’t attend cause he had a race on Sunday and by the time he reached Brazil so many events he would have missed plus so much Jet Lag.

He is still liking all photos relating to the wedding. Plus if he wasn’t waiting for Kelly to get back, he would have already left for the holidays .

These haters are always saying they are breaking up just cause they are away for a week.

We will as it is see them together by the weekend //

Max could have well attended that wedding if he wanted to. After the race directly in his plane on his way to Brazil. They started the celebrations only Monday afternoon. Max could have made that. And he is used to jet lag. And he did travel for one of Kelly’s siblings weddings last year too. After a race weekend. And he didn’t care about jet lag then. Kelly travelled for her nieces wedding last year with p just before the wedding and left again. What makes you think any of them care about jet lag but keeping up appearances?

Max is liking the posts late. It took “him” ages to like the posts about ps birthday. And it’s known max isn’t managing his social media himself. “Max” commented and liked posts before while on camera without his phone in hand. And I’m talking racing or giving speeches without his phone in hand. Not on stream and liking things. You don’t see his hands 100% of the time there. But some of the comments “max” left on posts of Kelly is not his words at all. Saying they are a family when max denies it left and right during interviews?? That man doesn’t see them and p especially as his child.

Max is friends with Nelson jr. As weird and bad as that is too, he is friends with her siblings. He can like posts of whoever he wants, if it’s him liking it. I believe one of Kelly’s siblings still follows daniil and likes his posts and vice versa. And daniil and Kelly haven’t been together since December 2019. Because of her behaviour. The rumour that he cheated? Created by her and her family. He didn’t cheat.

Max likes being alone with his cats. He can stream, sim race and escape constant camera/paparazzi attention this way. He likes that. Why would he go alone on vacation? He isn’t Kelly that needs 10 vacations a month to have content to post and milk for weeks and months.

Well it’s weird if one partner is never seen with the other part. Kelly rather spends time everywhere else than with max. She is behaving really different this season compared to the others she was with max. She barely goes to races, she barely spends time with him, she didn’t post anything about Valentine’s Day (no flowers for her to post), she attended/followed max to Goodwood but didn’t do the same for Valentine’s Day for the launch?

Last year max would have been on the flight to Brazil immediately. This season? He couldn’t care less it looks like.

We most likely will see Kelly with max by the end of the week. Current rumours are that Kelly was seen at the airport boarding a flight by airfrance. But p is still with her family on Nelson’s farm. Which is very weird. If this is true she is leaving her daughter behind once again. Does she need to pack the bags for max to be able to fly back to Brazil with her? Because I don’t think that Kelly and max will spend the entire summer alone. They haven’t been on any vacation just the two of them. They always have at least 4 other people (friends of hers) with them. They are never alone. And I’m not even counting p in that.

We can hope for a break up. We fans want the toxicity that woman and her family brings out of maxs life and out of f1. They are simply very disgusting and need to be banned by f1.

I'm aint reading all that, but last paragraph cooked

[mrs-monaghan]

Honestly when i read certain things Tkkrs write, i get tired! How can such a large number of pple be so dumb? How? The move from one narrative to the next, one theory to the next, one lie to the next! How can you think TK are dating each other after watching them these past 10 years? How? Now u all are screaming about Tk outings and you are also desperately trying to prove Jikook is not real by claiming they don’t see eo! How would you know that? If Tae didn’t turn on that 2 minute Live at Jk’s place, would you have ever known he was there? Why do you think they show us or tell us everything? How stupid can you be to think you actually know everything going on in these guy’s lives? You claim Jikook is fanservice because they don’t hang out outside of work, and i want to ask you, where the fuck have u been all these years! Are you trying to claim that you haven’t seen all the photos and videos of Jikook hanging out all through the years? Are you trying to claim that you haven’t heard about all the times they were in each other’s rooms? Tae himself told us 3 different times that Jk and Jimin were together at ungodly hours of the night! How can u believe Tk are a thing when Jk is always with Jimin most nights? He literally called Jimin his all nighter friend! They literally told us they have the habit of staying up late at night together, not just them, Jhope said it too in his documentary! He literally mentioned Jk and Jimin always stay up at night! So let’s say Jk was actually dating Tae! When does he spend couple time with Tae if he is always with Jimin at night? When? Also, all through the years, we have always seen or heard of Jikook spending important days together! Valentines day 2017, the posted a tweet wearing matching outfits (a couples thing in korea), they also posted a tweet watching the first snow together (couples thing in korea) on valentines day 2018, Jimin came back to korea from paris and on the 15th, he was spotted with Jk and his friend sungwon hanging out! On Jk’s birthday, he was with Jimin ALONE at 4am, On Jimin’s bday 2021, he did it in Jk’s studio and Jk got a cake for him (something staff always do) and he wrote "you are my park filter" on the cake! On Jk’s bday in 2019, Jimin flew all the way from paris to celebrate with Jk for a few hours and get back on a plane to another destination! Tae was nowhere to be found! On Jk’s bday 2022, Jimin went to see Jk, but again, Tae was nowhere to be found! On white day 2022, a photo of Jikook and a friend hanging out at a restaurant was leaked, on white day 2023, JM was not in Korea, but Jk and Tae were, Jk went Live on white day for hours, showing that he was ALONE! JM wasn’t in korea, but Tae was! Why didn’t Jk spend the day with his “boyfriend”? Why does Jk keep being with Jimin on all these important days instead of Tae? Jk himself said that during their break in 2019, he only saw Jimin and Jhope! How can Taekook be a couple and they don’t even see each other?

Yes, these days Tk hang out alot! But how do those hangouts prove they are a couple? Why haven’t we ever seen them hang out outside of work before now? All through the years, we never ever heard or saw Tk hanging out once! Not ever! We saw Jikook so many times, we heard of them hanging out so many times through the years! But nothing of Tk! These boys literally went on Tv and decided to share with us that they had grown a lil distant! Yet you lot ignored it and started again with your narrative of bighit giving them a script to read, all these just because you cannot get urself to accept the FACT that TK are JUST friends! Whenever something was said or done that didn’t match ur narratives, you claimed the company was hiding Tk, or Tk were lying, or Jikook is a cover for Taekook, or you straight up sent alot of hate to Jimin! Did you ever stop for a minute to ask yourselves what if you were wrong? Did u ever ask yourselves why you were so triggered by Jimin being close to Jk! I guess you didn’t because you know that you wouldn’t like the answer! The truth is, deep down, you know that there is NO WAY TK is real after everything Jikook have done for and to each other. No way! The hangouts you guys scream about only prove that Taekook are friends and they are actively working on bridging that gap that was trying to form in their friendship! This is the first time, they are actually hanging out with each other, outside if work without other members! It had never happened b4! And this also proves that their conversation on ITS was true cuz we all clearly saw a difference with TK after that conversation! Y’all were claiming the company was hiding TK yet, you kept getting TK moments on official content! Make it make sense! When something doesn’t go ur way, instead of rethinking, you start throwing tantrums like children, calling everyone a liar, or hating on Jimin and calling him a homewrecker, or hating on Hybe! What the fuck is wrong with you idiots? Tae literally asked you guys to STOP!! You claim to love him and Jk yet you ignore them when they continually show you that they are just friends! Need i remind you that TK is the ONLY ship in Bts that has outrightly been debunked! Tae told you guys go get out of your imaginations, yet you vermin found a way to twist his words to continue deceiving new army! Y’all are disgusting for real! I ship Jikook but if any one of them ever does what Tae did, i would immediately STOP, regardless of what i think i know or have seen or heard! That is how you prove u love them! By respecting their words and not twisting them to suit ur bizzare narratives! You claim TK are a couple yet Jk sits in his house watching an almost 2 hour live of jimin while giggling and kicking his feet! Show me when he ever did something like that for Tae! You claim TK are a couple yet Jk keeps asking Jm to come for one reason or the other! You claim Tk are a couple yet Jk can’t stop talking about Jimin on his Lives! You claim TK are a couple yet Jk comes back home from hanging out with Tae, turns on a Live looking all sad and miserable, and telling army how he comes to us when he is feeling down or has alot on his mind, all the while listening to songs about missing someone! And the only person he has literally admitted to missing is Jimin, when he responded to Jimin’s “I miss you " post on weverse! Jk and tae are dating but Jk spends white day alone even tho Tae is in the country? TK are dating yet they alway go back to their respective houses after hanging out? Tk are dating, yet Jk spends a majority of his nights doing something with Jimin? Tk are dating yet Jk spends all important days like bday, vals day, anniversaries and traditional holidays with Jimin? Tk are dating yet Jk on most lives always looks lonely and sad? Tk are dating yet Tae has admitted more than 3 times to not knowing Jk’s hotel rooms when they were on tour but Somehow Jimin always knew? Tk are dating yet Jk and Jimin are “caught” going into Jk’s hotel room together when they were not aware of the cameras? BFFR!

l

You cannot fix stupid anon. We can throw all the logic in the world at them. But they will never accept reality. There are other Jimin and JK ships out there. And they believe in what they believe. Idk why, but they do. However they don't come to our spaces to try and infiltrate. That's why we're always calling out the vermin because they refuse to stay in their lane.

I cannot wait for 2025. If you think JK is fed up now, if you think JK hates them now, wait until MS is over and Jikook don't have to be cautious anymore. The ones that don't leave the fandom will have no choice. Because Jikook will be loud AF. You think 2019 was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.

In 2 years they will have no choice but to admit they were wrong. And those who insist on Tkk being real will look like clowns. Especially if Jennie gets pregnant and then what? We know V is obsessed with kids. We know that's in the cards for him. We know Jennie can't be assed to put any effort in BP and is now pursuing acting?? Well that line of work is way more accepting of people dating than the Idol life.

A rude awakening is coming. And I will enjoy every single second of it. You can count on that. They are coming for you Army. They're gonna set the whole fandom on fire

It's better to be prepared coz Jikook supporters sure are.

First attempt at restoring one of my stuffed animals!

This is Red Bear/Benji! He was the first Valentine's gift I got from my partner and he has IMMENSE sentimental value. Photos, in order: The day I got him, prior to repairs (his poor little neck! I hugged him to sleep for multiple years solid starting in 2019, he was so squished), and now after a good cleaning and brushing and some fixed up rips and tears! I still plan on re-flocking his nose (if I can figure that process out, or fully replacing it if needed), replacing his stuffing, and reinforcing his seams internally during that process.

Any suggestions for good materials/products or techniques for repairing or maintaining would be Great, especially stuffing that may be more resistant to clumping than what he came with,,,, his head is just one solid chunk of tangled mess inside, poor thing! I want to make sure I'm able to keep him as intact as I can for many years to come.

Sleep No More Is Closing

It feels like my 20s are actually over.

(Alex, you're married and 35)

LAST NIGHT I DREAMT I WENT TO MANDERLEY AGAIN

For years, Sleep No More was my go-to answer for What To Do for birthdays, Halloween, Christmas gifts, and out of town recommendations. I missed that first year, 2011, when everything was new and magical and things were not horribly expensive, but there was still plenty of wonder between 2012 and 2016. There wasn't just the show there were the Salons, the Follies, the parties, the roof, all the opportunities. I still do not remember everything that happened for Halloween of 2012, other than I lost a pair of glasses, was carried from the door to my bed by my sister's friends, and somehow rallied to attend the opera the following evening.

I stopped attending as much in 2016 for [reasons], but the New Years Eve of 2017 into 2018 opened me for possibility that wound up being manifested two weeks later when I met Hilary. I brought her to a dinner party that August, which wound up the first photo we posted together, when I knew I had something worth sharing. We celebrated together for a COVID-free New Years Eve of 2021 into 2022 where we looked at one another and said fuck it why aren't we engaged? Once again, two weeks later that manifested into a proposal (or a mutually agreed upon decision to propose), which turned into our wedding this past July.

There weren't really as many trips in between that dinner and now. I celebrated my birthday in 2019, which may have given Hilary a small anxiety attack as the hotel had never been her speed, but that was it until that New Years Eve. COVID obviously saw to nothing in 2020 and 2021, and it may have had the last laugh here as well with the closure of the hotel. I saw the soft reopen in February of 2022 along with the real reopening on Valentine's Day, but my knees, the cost of planning a wedding, and my persistent need to say "I'm Sleepy!" (thanks hun) kept me from becoming a regular returning customer. But I had my memories. And I had the Discord server, where I could hear all the new news of the hotel, the parties, and the joy of those discovering it for the first time.

I'm going on Sunday afternoon for a full visit and an after-show Salon, which no doubt will feature a good deal of commiserating. The raven himself will be hoarse. We will attempt tickets for the final show, where the nightingale will sing in Berkeley Square one last time.

a Recommendation - 19 Top Films to Watch on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day isn’t always about a box of chocolate or couple photos bombarding your feed all day; sometimes, it’s about snuggling under the covers with either your loved ones or love one, watching a comfort movie that makes you feel giddy both in the inside and outside. 

Here is a (very long) list, categorized from cliche to not-really-romance-but-romance, of the best rom-com films you could watch on Valentine’s Day: 

Well-Known But Not Overrated:  from the 00s to the 20s - here are all the romcoms you may or may not have heard. 

1. Set It Up (2018) Starring Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell, alongside Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, Set It Up is a fun New York-based romantic comedy on the spiral of two overworked assistants setting up their bosses. 

2. Definitely, Maybe (2008)  Nothing weirder than hearing about your parents having a life before you: Definitely, Maybe is a tale of three romantic stories and one mother mystery.

3. Love, Rosie (2014) Starring two rom-com sweethearts Lily Collins and Sam Claflin, Love Rosie is the original formulaic film of the ultimate childhood best friends to lovers + right person, wrong time trope.

4. Emma (2019)  With the perfect combination of wit, set, cast, and story, Emma is the perfect love letter to Jane Austen and fans of Regency Romance. 

5. The Half of It (2019)  Small town and big romance: The Half of It is a quiet yet impactful film on coming-of-age, friendships, and high school crushes. 

6. Miss Congeniality (2000)  A perfect mixture of comedy and romance, Miss Congeniality will win your heart with the classic undercover cop story. 

7. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) Carrying the charm and chemistry of a teenage rom-com, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before takes an overused trope of fake relationships and makes it its own, with an unforgettable classic high school love tale. 

8. The Vow (2012)  Changing the entire course of two people’s lives in one accident, The Vow, based on a true story, is a heartbreaking film on love and grief. 

A Bit More Than Boy Meets Girl  not so much of romance as connecting with friends or yourself; these movies are perfect for movie nights with friends or if simply you’re not in the mood for a classic rom-com: 

9. Laggies (2014)  Starring Kiera Knightly, Sam Rockwell, and Chloe Grace Moretz, Laggies is a tale not only of unexpected love but the reality of feeling like lagged in your 20s.

10. The Other Woman (2014)  The Other Woman is about the other woman, starring the golden comedy trio Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton, as they set up for the perfect revenge.

11. Paper Towns (2015)  In the classic John Green tale of small-town high school and daydreaming for the manic pixie girl, Paper Towns is a tale of friendship and growing up, with a bittersweet ending that feels more real than the classic Disney happily ever after. 

12. The Way Way Back (2013)  With a ridiculously talented cast, The Way Way Back is a classic comedic and bittersweet summer beach film of love, parenthood, and friendships, all while coming of age in a world that doesn’t always go your way.

13. The Edge of Seventeen (2016)  Hilarious but uncomfortably too true to every teenager at one point, is a perfect film for both depth and comedy, dealing in the themes of betrayal, love, friendship, teenage angst, and loss.

Classics to Re-Binge - or Finally Get Around To Watching It  from the 90s to the 10s, created in the classic formula of wit, charm, iconic-ness, and of course: romance and comedy 

14. How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)  Perhaps one of the most famous rom-com of the 21st century, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is exactly as the title suggests; even in the two decades since its release, the film remains fresh, original, and hilariously sharp in the rom-com film department.

15. The Proposal (2009)  In the ultimate fake relationship trope, The Proposal is a classic New York-to-small-town romance, unforgettably delivered by Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.

16. 13 Going on 30 (2004)  13 Going on 30 achieves every 13-year-old girl’s dream; the film centralizes around the youthful and comedic 13-year-old-stuck-in-30-year-old body tale with just the perfect amount of true romance.

17. Crazy Rich Asians (2018) Heartwarming and a feast to the eyes of cinematography, costumes, and score, Crazy Rich Asians is the story of Rachel Chu entering the world of crazy rich Asians, and her fight for her true love. 

18. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)  In the perfect combination of romance and comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You is a classic in fake-relationship-turned-true-love, starring both the brilliant Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. 

and of course: 19. Valentine’s Day (2010)  Starring the biggest names of rom-com from Julia Roberts to Anne Hatheway to Jennifer Garner, Valentine’s Day is a film of multiple love stories all interconnected, set in no other date but Valentine’s Day.

where we lay our scene

Despite my saying to his face, “I no longer want to marry you,” we bought a house together in 2019. His idea. My credit score. His down payment. My name on the mortgage. We were there four months before I reimbursed him for the down payment and asked him to find somewhere else to live while I figured out a way to afford the house on my own.

In that time, my father had died, or was killed. Those four months are a wretched memory of crying into stripped floorboards, scrolling through the archives of my father’s living face each night, unable to sleep, blankly measuring the sky, and pleading with a man I loved to leave me.

He eventually took the check and moved out. It burned me to know that he had known and loved my father, and that any man I might love in the future would never meet my father or know that aspect of me. And after two brief and failed relationships, my ex met the woman he decided to marry. I spoke at their wedding last month.

Theirs was a destination wedding held in a desert city that I had introduced my ex to, somewhere he and I once spent Valentine's Day together. The profile image for this blog was taken on that Valentine's Day trip. It's a photo of my ass. I will never understand why he married there. It’s 1,913 miles away and he knows no one in that city, nor does his now-wife.

Rarely, but sometimes, the difference between innocence and violence is negligible. The heart is a strange muscle and it does what it does; it repeats until it ceases.

Lovely photo of them both. David is just as smitten with Michael for sure. Also dammm you!! I now can't look at photos where Michael's lap is visible without thinking how much I want to sit on it! David must have that same problem a lot, only I recon he does get to enjoy sitting on michael's lap on a regular basis.

(This is referring to this post, for those who might’ve missed it.)

Oh, yes, Anon...David certainly is just as smitten, and I’m so glad someone else sees it, too.

As for sitting on Michael's lap, I can promise that you are very not alone there. I still remember two very defining moments that awakened my insatiable Michael thirst and made me ache to sit on his lap. One was this scene in The Good Fight:

And the other was this scene in Masters of Sex:

I saw both of these in 2019, and I've been emotionally compromised by Michael's lap ever since.

As for David having a similar problem, I have no doubt that you are correct there, as well as in your assertion that David gets to enjoy sitting on Michael's lap on a regular basis. It's why I can't help but smile when thinking of Michael and David together for Valentine's Day last year (while filming GO season 2), and how they would've certainly had the chance to enjoy some time alone, with plenty of opportunities for David to sit on Michael's lap. (In the Bo'ness Hippodrome, perhaps?)

I imagine opportunities since then have been a bit scarce, what with both of them so busy doing their respective plays last year. But like magical clockwork, we got the whole Michael-buying-David moment on the Last Leg almost two weeks ago, and, well...what better place for David to sit on Michael's lap than in his very own basement? And going by his reaction, David certainly doesn't seem like he would mind at all:

Now, here in February of 2023, we are just months away from the release of GO season 2, as well as the season 2 promotional tour. There were at least several noteworthy moments in the first press tour where Michael straight up looked like he wanted to pull David into his lap, so who knows what might be in store for us or how close they might get to each other's laps this time around. We'll just have to see what happens...

harry styles and jennie kim hooked up in the past; a thread. (PART 2)

the images below are just to represent the thread, i got both from @roseqnne.

in part two, i promised to explain why my theory if all of harry and jennie's public interactions at the time are so silly and no big deal.

from here, there is almost no proven interaction between H and J. it's just speculation.

well, let's start with that.

harry's holidays at japan.

in january of 2019, when harry finished the 'Live On Tour', he decided to take advantage of his rest period in japan (a country he loves very much). jennie, who began her journey of fame and acclaim in the west, was already very well regarded with blackpink throughout asia, with japan being one of the main countries.

it is possible that harry has heard a lot about jennie in japan, even having mutual friends, such as the model kiko mizuhara, who is always seen with blackpink members at events in the country and even follows all the girls on instagram, including jennie. it is worth remembering that before conquering the world, jennie is a fashion icon throughout asia since the beginning of her career.

remembering that in march, still the beginning of the year, he followed jennie on instagram.

sunflower, vol. 6

i think i am going to touch a sensitive spot by theorizing that this song might actually be about jennie, but i don't care! it's my theory, and believe it or not, she was to blame for my mistrust of a romance between this two.

in august 2019, jennie, together with lisa, jisoo and rosé, spent her vacation in honolulu, hawaii, where she posted a photo with the following caption:

Fine Line seems a lot to do with harry's whole relationship with camille rowe, but 'sunflower, vol. 6', analyzing the lyrics, is about meeting someone new, who is still not close enough and all that initial nervousness. it's not a serious thing, but a crush that makes you feel nervous and apprehensive, a person you really want to get to know more and get deeper into and it's one of those harry songs that the fandom isn't so sure of or plausible theories about what it might be.

the album was only released in december of 2019.

jennie in london.

in march 2020, almost 1 year after the first sign, jennie goes to london to work for the gentle monster eyewear brand. coincidentally, harry was also in town. on valentine's day, jennie went to dinner at a restaurant and posted one of the following photos:

i don't believe harry had it there, otherwise someone would probably have asked for a photo or taken one in secret, however, coincidence or not, he was mugged while walking down the street at the exactly same day.

in this interview for The Howard Stern Show, harry also reveal that he was single at the time. taking the opportunity to say that i don't believe they had any possibility of anything serious for several reasons, starting with their busy schedules and different continents.

in my theory, this was one of harry and jennie's last moments, even if they were just having fun and getting to know each other. some time later, harry started his relationship with olivia wilde and jennie entered into rumors of a possible one with g-dragon.

now, let's jump to 2022.

and stay for the song analysis!
