#april 26th anon

[my-castles-crumbling]

hey cas!!!

April 26th anon here

how are you???

I just came here to ask for some advice

so remember how me and my crush got together? Yeah, so it turns out that they’re aromantic

and I support them completely but I just feel so weird whenever we talk or someone mentions them to me

idk

I shouldn’t feel like this but I can’t help but wonder why they got with me in the first place? They said all these things and it turns out they didn’t mean them???

I’m so lost, what can I do to stop this weird feeling?

Hi hon! <3

I'm so sorry to hear this happened. I need you to know though, this isn't personal. It sounds like they realized this AFTER they got with you. And even if they didn't, they might not have been sure beforehand. Either way, their being aromantic doesn't make you undesirable. It means that when they said what they said, they probably had confusing feelings to work out. Odds are, they didn't intentionally hurt you. I know you feel upset and probably a bit betrayed, but please know that this had nothing to do with you. <3

Hi. Your previous anonymous speaker, again. I’m reading Midnight in Chernobyl, as I’m fortunate enough to have found a copy. Notes? Thoughts? Thank you, again. I liked your last reply much.

- R

Welcome back R, so glad to see you! I'm happy you liked my reply ♡! I shall continue replying for as long as you'll continue asking.

It's probably the best English language book about the disaster out there. As I've mentioned in my previous post, it does a great job showing the people involved as, well, people, which a lot of other books fail to do. It does repeat certain myths and misinformation, though, mainly when the source is Medvedev, so I guess that's on him. Everything is on him. We (me) hate Medvedev in this household.

> One of my least favourite things it repeats is that there was some kind of a disagreement in the control room. There were calm conversations and the closest thing to an "argument" was when, allegedly, Dyatlov snapped and told Akimov to hurry up because he was taking too long looking over the test program during the beginning of the shift. Nobody reported anything else - if they did, it would have most definitely been used against Dyatlov himself during the trial - and yet, seemingly neither Akimov's nor Toptunov's testimonies said anything about being forced to do anything or getting yelled at by the Deputy Chief Engineer.

It is unclear to me why this kind of narrative persisted even after people realised the operators weren't at fault and that Medvedev had it out for Dyatlov for some reason. Drama is what makes things interesting and it's easier to say "oh, well, the operators did not agree to XYZ, actually" when you don't want to blame them, I suppose. But you might as well be perfect obedient and be innocent and the same time - after all, it's not like any of them were exactly planning making the reactor go boom that night...

> It's not clear why there was a power drop to begin with. Higginbotham says that the SIUR "made a mistake", while Dyatlov and a few others say it was an equipment error. RBMK is a beast of a reactor, reportedly hard to control when the power is low and an inexperienced SIUR, which Toptunov was, would probably have problems keeping up with everything. If it was the case of the SIUR messing up, then it's not as simple as the author presents, you don't just miss one step and it all goes to shit, you actively have to not recognise and/or not be fast enough with your actions. But that's nitpicking, it's not that relevant.

> The fuel channel caps never jumped or at least were never actually SEEN by anyone to have been jumping, my god. Perevozchenko was in the control room when it was "going on". That Chernobyl Guy made a really good (and fun!) video on the topic if anyone's interested. Love that guy, he's doing a great job!

> I'm pretty sure that the description of the control rods and the positive scram effect (and the purely technical, nuclear bits) is not that accurate. I'm going to be very careful with both of these because pure physics is outside of my comfort zone and will actually recommend you do your own research on both of these, if you're interested, from the fear that I might start sounding like Medvedev (without proper education)

Other than that, it's really really good! It includes some relevant pictures, which is always nice (I'm looking at you, Kate Brown's book), it covers a great time duration - from before Prypiat to after Chernobyl. And the author interviewed a ton of people, we have to give him that.

All in all, I absolutely need to reread this book again because my memory of it is a little foggy and I'll report back to you in case something of importance will come up!

Everything you need to know : Failed Coming Out 2019

This is an answer to an anon I've received.

I typed it all and Tumblr said there was an error when I went and tried to published it. So I had to type it all again but lost the anon....

Here's the question: could you tell me more about her wanting to come out in 2019? sorry for asking again I'm new on the fandom!

Hi!

It will be my pleasure! This is such an important part of the Gaylor Lore to know and understand, especially when you are new in the fandom.

This theory has been confirmed, but we'll get to it in a minute.

Also, I'm so sorry because learning about what went down during Lover Era is a transformative experiece in the Gaylor fandom, in a very heartbreaking way.

So back in 2019 Taylor wanted to come out with the Lover Era.

June 30th during the New York City Pride wich was also the Stonewall's 50th anniversary, was supposed to be the day it happened.

This date might be familiar to you, because it's the date we learned at the same time as Taylor about her masters being sold to Scooter Braun.

So let's start at the begining of all of this. I won't go through ALL the details because my post will never end. But I'll cover the most important ones.

Right at the begining of the year, insiders were already talking about the fact that Taylor was planing to come out that year in podcasts and blind items.

Then in March 6th (Karlie and Taylor's anniversary)

Taylor does a post hinting at this new era. The very first lyrics we get (We got hints at ME back in February):

Daylight the song is about Karlie. But this line specifically means coming out.

Stepping into the daylight, and letting everyone see the real you.

(Also worth noting the lesbian filter)

Taylor started being really loud in the posts she made from now on. Flagging rainbow, lesbian and bi colors every chances she got.

And flagging Butterflies. Wich is very important thematically in Lover and coming out.

Side note on the Butterfly meaning:

Remembre how in reputation, snake was a really important theme?

And how in Lover it switched to butterflies?

More specifically it switched to Snakes transforming into butterflies?

There's a species of butterflies, that when they are in the chrysalid phase of their transformation into a butterfly, can look like a snake if they feel unsafe or attacked in order to protect themselves.

Then, after the average 13 days waiting period, they transforms into a beautiful butterfly.

Basically what Taylor was doing, protecting herself during reputation with that "personna" like she described.

And now, she was ready to finally transforms and have a new beginning.

Here's a description of what butterflies means:

A powerful beacon of growth and new beginnings, the butterfly signifies the power of transformation and the incredible feats we can achieve when we trust ourselves. We all have the ability to listen to our innate wisdom, guide ourselves through difficult times, and emerge better and stronger than before.

The ME! of it all:

Ok back into the Lover Era timeline!

So all those rainbow posts were leading up to the first single: ME!

Even Taylor Nation was pretty loud about this (number of rainbows = number of days leading to ME! release):

3 days before ME! release, Taylor performs at the Time 100 Gala and it's the first and only time she switched so very clearly pronouns in the song, multiple times:

She sings repeatedly : I want HER midnights

And she even seems to be getting more and more confortable as the song goes on and singing it louder and louder.

She also looks at the crowd while singing it.

Then she releases ME!

That was really the first part of her coming out.

And honnestly, she shouldn't have had to do more than this.

ME! was released on April 26th.

April 26th in 2019 was Lesbian Visibility Day.

And she captionned the release with: ME! Out Now!

A song about how she is unique as a Lover...

That is without mentioning the amount of rainbows everywhere in that MV as well as other references.

Worth noting that in 2019 Lil NasX came out in a MV with the rainbow tower and was annoyed that people didn't get it?

Taylor also probably deadass thought that she made it obvious:

May & June 2019 leading up to the big coming out:

Taylor continues to be as loud as she can.

She makes a very generous donation to GLAAD:

She sings ME! every chances she gets, while flagging the Lesbian Flag.

Taylor Nation also keeps on being really loud:

And releases a song and music video about homophobia and includes herself front and centered in the LGBTQ+ community (represented by the Trailer park, note how Ryan Reynolds, the only straight person in the MV is outside of this park, not in it like Taylor).

With a bi flag wig...

So yeah, she was trying really hard to make people see her.

Christian Siriano and the dress...

Back in April, we learned that Christian Siriano (a fashion designer) was working on a project for Taylor:

In June, he started teasing us about a mistery rainbow dress for an unnknown person:

It was heavily rumored that it would be the dress used by Taylor to come out at the end of Pride Month.

He kind of confirmed it with this post:

Then. June 30th.

The New York City Pride.

Taylor planned to come out at the event.

Employees on site, starts to be warned about this (you can find some comments online).

Taylor learns at the same time as us that her masters were sold to Scooter Braun.

She never makes it to Pride.

And Billy Porter ends up wearing the dress:

But. You can see that the dress was not meant to be worn by him. It doesn't fit well and the "nude" parts shows that it was meant to be worn by a white person.

In 2022, Christian confirmed it by dueting a TikTok talking specifically about this.

He deleted it right after but you can still find it on TikTok: (X)

Last minutes changes to Lover:

We now know that Taylor scrapped two songs from Lover: All Of The Girls You Loved Before and Need.

All Of The Girls is really loud and very clearly talks about a girl. Wich Taylor couldn't afford if she didn't want to/couldn't come out.

London Boy was actually written and added really last minute to the album.

Really interesting, because this is her loudest song about her loving boyfriend. Wich is a brilliant thing to do if you want to limit the public speculation after all the flagging that you did...

We know it was last minute, because Taylor sampled it on Cold War from Cautious Clay. (X)

He was called in the middle of the night and had to approve the sample right away.

Interesting fact: Cold War was featured in Book Smart, a movie Taylor promoted that year.

The song plays during a lesbian sex scene...

The intro to London Boy is actually Idris Elba in a interview where he was talking about a charity where he sold a date with him.

You know, people paid to date him...

The shift in the Lover Era:

After this, you can start to see a shift. Where it was colorful sequin and rainbows everywhere with colorful choreography.

She now dresses in black, is incredibly sad and sings mostly accousting song.

Like her BBC 1 performance or Lover In Paris:

Miss Americana:

Miss Americana was supposed to be her coming out documentary.

It has been confirmed by the director of the project that a lot of footage has been scrapped.

Also, the documentary was supposed to be called : Is It Cool That I Said All That?

This is why the documentary sometimes feels like something is missing and some parts are rushed.

They tried to switch her coming out approach by making it her political activism era.

Taylor confirms it in Anti-Hero MV:

She's pierced through the heart by The Archer.

Her queerness starts showing (she's bleeding lavender glitters).

She tries to cover it up by taking the table cloth.

Her wanting to cover it spoils the dinner for everyone and they leave her.

And while she sings : "Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism, Like some kind of congressman?"

She covers her queerness with a sticker : Vote For Me, For Everything

Confirming that the political activism during Lover Era and mostly Miss Americana was in fact really to cover the fact that she was already one foot out of the closet when they had to backtrack.

With this. Take a look at the closing scene of Miss Americana. When The Archer is playing in the background.

It's a montage of Taylor talking to someone and Taylor on the release night of Lover.

Look at what Taylor says...

Queerbaiting Backlash:

This might be the worse part in my opinion.

Since she was flagging so hard to come out.

Sadly, most people didn't get that that was exactly what she was trying to do.

And medias massively accused her of queerbaiting.

And using the queer community.

I'm still so mad and heartbroken about this....

reusing an old Twitter post...

Even queer fans...:

Frankly, speculating about her sexuality would have been way less damaging than this...

Songs about this event:

Taylor wrote a lot about this failed coming out.

The Archer, was her song about her anxiety about coming out. And begging her fans to stay.

I'm not gonna do a full lyrics analysis because this post is already a novel.

But read those lyrics with that in mind and you'll see how loud it is, and heartbreaking.

"I've got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you"

Also. Worth noting that after Lover was released and she was not able to come out, she switched one lyric in that song.

Instead of "Combat, I'm ready for combat" singular (coming out was the combat she was ready to face)

She now sings every time "Combats, I'm ready for Combats", because coming out has turned into multiple battles that she has to face now...

Hoax:

Noticed how she says that all of her heroes die all alone in The Archer?

Her fear that if she comes out, all her fans would leave.

In Hoax she says: "You know the hero died so what's the point of keeping score movie for?"

Because with her Master Heist and everything, she was not able to be one of those heroes herself... The hero that she wanted to be died in that moment because she was unable to come out.

Edit: I messed up the lyrics. But it's even more telling. Because the movie she's talking about is Miss Americana, once she was unable to come out.

Evermore:

This song is litteraly her looking back at what happened and how she managed to process everything and ultimatly heal even though it felt at the start like she would never be able to.

"I've been down since July" - June 30th = failed coming out

"Motion capture, put me in a bad light" - Queerbaiting allegations. And Miss Americana being rebranded.

"Writting letters, adressed to the fire" - Her hundred thrown out speeches that she almost said.

"I rewind the tape, but all it does is pause, on the very moment all was lost" - June 30th...

"Sending signals, to be double crossed" - Her flagging strongly on her way to come out, only to be accused of queerbaiting.

Right Where You Left Me:

The restaurant is a metaphor for the closet.

"Sitting in a corner I haunt, cross legged in the dim light"

Doesn't really feel like a restaurant, but her hiding in the closet.

"I swear, you could hear a hairpin drop. Right when I felt the moment stopped"

Droping hairpins is giving hints that you are gay.

She was doing this very loudly right before she was kept from coming out.

"Dust collected on my pinned up hair"

Her hair are still pinned up because she was not able to come out. And dust collected over time that she spent forced in the closet.

Anti-Hero:

AH is really The Archer 2.0, and talks about the same fear of coming out and being abandonned.

The fact that she decided to depict herself as the Anti-Hero is both really interesting and heartbreaking.

Because to her, the hero was the version of herself that was able to come out...

Listen to Change in the perspective of being able to come out and change the face of the industry:

"Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees

Fight for what we've worked for all these years

And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives

But we'll stand up champions tonight"

They were the Champions.

Side note: she sang this song at the ACMA in 2010, two weeks before Chely Wright's coming out.

When we know that she has knowed and worked with Chely since about 2007.

Then Taylor wrote Long Live one month after Chely Wright's coming out.

Listen to the song with the same perspective as Change now.

"You held your head like a hero, on a history book page"

Chely Wright came out in May 2010. Taylor wrote Long Live in June 2010.

Look at the parallels of both songs.

And now, look at her choice to name that song Anti-Hero after everything that hapenned....

She also wrote Long Story Short and The Great War about that event, but this is for another post and it's about how this event affected her relationship with Karlie.

How she thought she was betrayed but ultimately found out it was not the case.

And how they both made it through.

Ok, I'm exhausted lol.

Sorry for writting a novel.

But this is such an important part of Taylor's history and I really wanted to do it justice (hope I was able to).

If you are still reading...Thank you for your question!

Hi, here's about me and some questions you might have!

Updated: april 26th 2024

MINORS DNI please

Important!! Please don't use real money to do things for me in any capacity. It makes me uneasy, uncomfortable and puts a lot of pressure on me. Thank you for your understanding <3 also Important: I can not and will not take anything seriously, if you want to say something serious to me, send me a DM, I'm more likely to respond seriously there

Who are you?

@ nunalastor's emotional support white boy™

People just call me lulu on here. I'm 20 and go by any pronouns. AFAB (and cis). my gender is whatever makes you gay. somewhere on the ace spectrum.

Also CEO of forcing people to get some fucking sleep!

important note: I respond in the horniest ways to @ nunalastorscursedkitten, but they have explicitly stated they don't want sexual stuff directed towards them without their consent. I have confirmed that they are okay with me responding in a horny way and you should make sure before doing it too

tags (will not sort these out at all):

who is safe here?

lulu reblogs - art/theories/incorrect quotes ect

lulu convos - me interracting with peeps here

lulu crooks - going into detail about things i shouldn't be going into detail of. (maybe infodumping)

cursed polycule - me and the 100+ husbands/wives interracting (xxx-angie list in their pinned)

lulu asks - me answering asks

this is a nunalastor simp blog - anytime I openly bark for nunalastor

lulu lore - me accidentally dropping irl lulu lore

lulu loves nunalastorscursedkitten / and paincaat too / lulu loves paincaat / and nunalastorscursedkitten too - my interractions with @ paincaat / @ nunalastorscursedkitten

lulu loves getting called slurs - me getting called the f-word

lulu infodumps - infodumps about stuff that might not always be hazbin hotel

fools being sexy - @ the-aprilfools-bitch tag

everyone except minors. I don't judge. This is a safe space regardless of race, gender, sexuality or anything else. Be as cringe/not cringe as you want

What is this blog?

Used to be a hazbin blog, now turned to me simping for daddy nunalastor and interracting with the cursed polycule

What can I ask or share with you?

Literally anything you want to share, no limits. I respond to everything, even hate so if I haven't responded I'm either asleep or the message didn't appear in my inbox.

One thing I don't respond to is chain sends cuz I can't be bothered with that shit. Anything else is a yes

What's with the bad English?

English is my second language. I pride myself on being able to read it fluently, but I might have problems with talking in a way that flows naturally to native speakers. So sorry bout that

What time are you active?

Honestly, all over the place. Don't look too much into it, but I'm from the country of Georgia if that helps

Can I use your ideas?

Absolutely! You don't even need to ask. I won't say this is a necessity, but If you decide to use them, I'd love it if you'd tag me. I love seeing all kinds of things people make and I'd love to see yours too!

Why are you so unhinged and sexual? Aren't you ace?

Asexuals aren't all sex-repulssed and can enjoy it too. I am uncomfy with the act of sex but I love joking and shitting about it. Me saying something is hot/sexy/makes my dick hard is just me saying "I love this and i think it's cool" when that isn't enough to express my love. (I think I'm being funny)

Is the art on nunalastor's blog you sometimes repost yours?

Yes, the art posted on their asks by mylz-flick is by me. It's my primary blog and i don't use it for anything so all my asks are submitted through there

Why don't you post as often anymore?

Because all my posts go straight to nunalastor's blog. Go check them out, it's great

By nunalastor s request:

Who hurt you?

Nunalastor did when they rizzed up my mom

What's with the worms? That's disgusting

Well, nunalastor made this post and it turned me on a little ngl

What is the cursed polycule?

Well, I spontaneously decided that my go to funny (not funny) joke would be to start asking everyone who agreed with me or had similar tastes to kiss me. Long story short, now I'm a whore™ with 100+ husbands that I can't keep track of and that's the cursed polycule

Why do you keep calling nunalastor daddy?

Many reasons. First, Nunalastor saying they would fuck my mom in the DMs when I told them about her. So naturally, if my mom and nunalastor got married they would be the dad hence, daddy. Also, nunalastor is unapologetically my favourite blog on here and the title "daddy" is reserved for them. Also their word is law to me and they deserve the respectful title

The way you interract with minors is disgusting

I have minors please don't interract in my bio for a reason. I expect a decent human being to see that and kindly leave my blog. I don't check who I'm responding to most of the time so I probably didn't even notice it was a minor. I'm just trying to be fun.

If you are a minor and I responded/reblogged your art or post with some batshit crazy shenanigans like I do with everyone, send me a DM and I'll delete it. I'd rather it be in the DMs instead of out in public because out here I have people acting like they hate me and I don't want to accidentally take something that's meant to be a serious request to stop like a joke.

What's with that one pregnant anon stuff at nunalastors blog?

Listen, I don't care what shit people send me, but if you even dare harm, harass or just in general be an asshole to the ones I consider nice people, I will not take that lightly.

To everyone: if you get haters, tag me so I can draw them pregnant.

Is the cursed polycule an actual relationship or just a joke?

It's just a joke between us.

Can I join the polycule?

Daddy has revoked my marriage license so you'll have to consult with the other members. I take what daddy demands very seriously

You can however, talk to the other members of the polycule and join. We could also have a platonic relationship going on in the polycule if you want

What is up with you and pronouns?

Sorry, in my native language there are no gendered pronouns. We just have a singular he/she/they for everyone. I use he/him for me (despite being a woman) because it's what rolls off the tongue easier for me. For everyone else I use they/them because you can never go wrong with neutral.

Are you actually attracted to nunalastor?

Why do you keep mentioning nunalastor calling you the f-word?

No. It's me and paincaat my beloved. They say gay shit to me and I find that hot

Because I genuinely /gen /srs loved it. This isn't a joke. It made me overstimmed and honestly was a little overwhelmed with giddiness. keep in mind though, that while I enjoy getting called the slur, I will not be calling anyone that because that makes me uncomfy.

why haven't you responded to my reblog/comment/ask?

I generally respond to everyone I can. but either it was

lost in my notifs

was posted by a minor and I don't want to attract minors here

If it was on a reblog of something, I assumed it was meant for op

I just couldn't think of anything to respond with (which is rare)

feel free to let me know if it was either 1 or 3 but I won't respond to minors

[sapphyreopal5]

Hmmm, where are the mentions of FBBC closing its one and only taproom when calling Danneel a business owner? Or the other LLCs she registered but are now no longer active? I also couldn't quite make out what she was saying around the 39 min time mark but it sounds like she doesn't really keep anything paper except for a birthday card Hilarie had given her for her 26th birthday. Where's the mention of the note her and Jensen supposedly passed before dating? "Not now but someday?"

Also per an Anon ask from last year on another blog, the AD tour for Troian Bellisario and Patrick J. Adam's house that uploaded on YouTube April 13, 2023 featured some handwritten notes in a frame on the stairway wall while they were dating. Did Jensen steal this couple's story and insert himself and Danneel in it to sound cute? Could just be a very funny coincidence but I just can't for the life of me see ANY other mention of this said note Jensen passed to Danneel before dating ANYWHERE else.

Hopefully not flooding your inbox too much, yes? I intend to read the INSAG-7, whether online or in incremental printings. Notes? Thoughts? Forewarnings? Thank you.

-R

Hi R! Sure, let's get into INSAG-7! And don't you worry about flooding my inbox - it gives me a purpose :D and I get to look more into things (because I'd rather chop off my left hand than half-ass a reply, in case it's incorrect)! And I can finally be like all those popular people when I'm on the bus. Except they're texting their many friends and I'm typing up Chernobyl related posts... hmm...

Obviously, it is the "updated" version of the report made by IAEA - INSAG-1 (the newer one is called INSAG-7 because it was released 7 years later. Or at least that's why I think it's called that). It certainly got a WHOLE LOT better, lacking the needlessly harsh and untrue criticisms of the operators as well as most of the official government narrative the first one was mainly based on. That said, it's certainly not without its faults.

The thing is, some of these faults are faults because we just don't quite know everything. It's pretty odd, you'd think stuff like this could be possible to figure out and then... and then you don't know. And quite possibly will never know. There are certain assumptions made by the authors of INSAG-7, same as in any other scientific writing about the disaster.

There is an article written back in 1995 by A.S. Dyatlov himself (am I starting a Dyatlov cult? Why do I ALWAYS mention him?) this report available here. Now, you can think whatever you want about him but he was an expert in the field and he stood firm with his defence of the workers when so many others failed to do so. All in all, I'd consider him a credible source.

If you'd like to see a bit more of INSAG-7 "in practice", then I'd recommend the more technical videos from That Chernobyl Guy, such as this one about the control rods and this one about the coefficients. He references certain parts of INSAG-7 in both (and in many other videos), either as a source to back up a certain claim or to say that this or that may actually be wrong.

Okay, so I am BACK with Moon Phases. Fun facts that are just trivia but if you or anyone cares, here they are! Moon 2 (April) we see a full moon when Heron sees the kittypet, which means that night specifically was April 22 1701

The Gathering in September would be the 17th.

There was a Lunar Eclipse February 22 1701 (Moon 0) that would've been visible to them.

Ages: Heronstar is 19, Longstrike would be 14, Heronpaw is 8 (obvs).

As for birthdays, starting March 1st seems appropriate for 1) ease 2) it was the half-moon which is normally the healer meeting. This also means something interesting! February that month just missed being a full month by moon cycle, with the previous half moon that follows the full moon being January 31! So off to a wonderful and weird start when it comes to ages.

So, using the half-moon and pretending they both turned exactly 7 Moons old (Heron) and 2 Moons old (Long) for the sake of this.

Longstrike would've been born December 3. If you want to make that his birthday is up to you, I'm not gonna assign your characters a birthday, but he'd be a December baby.

Heronstar would be July 9th! Once again, your comic, your characters, your rules, so if anyone sees this ask, Unless Jade Says So those are not Official Dates. Fun trivia, there was a blue moon that month, on July 30th.

Slickpaw is being assigned half-moon baby as well for the sake of my sanity, which is already questionable at this point. He would be August 26th, which supports his claim to a lack of food, as a month later was the gathering where Howlstar announced that her Clan was starving and would now kill trespassers. [Also instead makes him the month Long and Heron fought after she saw the kittypet at the border]

For Drama, the gathering would've been March 14th, and the April Gathering with be April 12th, for when Howlstar might ask if anyone knows where that apprentice ran to

This is you.

(Also this is amazing and this is all canon now. I don't make the rules history makes the rules)

Maybe they pushed it back because of the summer break? Idk normally they want something to air that’s about max? Idk is still abit strange. I liked the last episode but the first 2 not that much

I agree, anon, that it makes sense to have something like this to air during F1 summer break for a streaming service with a monthly subscription.

The thing is though, that the first date it was supposed to air was February 15th, that became the 26th, then April 8th and then, finally, summer break. And it could have been for a million reasons, maybe something on Viaplay's side, incompetence, maybe something was going on with the people in or connected to the documentary, maybe some people were not happy with the final result.

But! The fact that the trailer aired a day before the news about Christian Horner broke and that right after that the trailer disappeared and then it kept being pushed back without a given reason* definitely made it seem like it had something to do with that.

I really enjoyed the last ep and the first one. Didn't care much for the second one. I understand marketing/business is a big part of Max's racing career but it's not the most interesting to me. Did really love that Gemma was in it though! (Where and why have you gone, Gemma?)

*communication is not Viaplay's strong suit though

Do you have any information about "緋想天符録 WEATHER LIGHT" and "緋想天符録～非想天則20形態～"?

Hello anon,

Before receiving your message I did not know about those, but after a little bit of search I was able to find the following:

They seem to be a collection of spellcard cards. "緋想天符録 WEATHER LIGHT" is about Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (15 cards) and "緋想天符録～非想天則20形態～" is about Hisoutensoku (20 cards).

Both these items are listed on tasofro's website as "Others":

Twitter user Yukid8a9z0e1 has very nice photos of both collections: twitter.com/Yukid8a9z0e1/status/1193152096226312193

緋想天符録 WEATHER LIGHT

緋想天符録～非想天則20形態～

Digging a bit through the web archive, can easily lead you to the release dates of them:

Let’s breakdown the timeline of these last few weeks or so. (I’m not lazy anon but I am lazy so sorry if I get some dates wrong)

- Sometime the week of the Azerbaijan GP Marina Bay anon and Lens anon show up. This starts a chain of lots of “insider anons” showing up. Some are definitely fake but some seem real

- Kelly posts a video of her and P in New York on the 28th but Steppy finds an ask form the 26th that’s says Kelly’s in New York(days before she ever posted she was there)

- Also on the 28th the Daily Mail released the article and the fake pap pics and are hinting Kelly is attending the Met Gala(Side note: Her bag and shoes are form her friends company and dress from a brand that has affiliate codes with the DM)

- Also sometime around here Deuxmoi posted anon asking if any insiders had anything on Max and Kelly

- Black and White anon makes two appearance on the 28th too. Once to confirm what Marina Bay anon is saying and later to say it was weird how quickly someone wrote into Deuxmoi. (I’m going to be honest I looked through all of Deux’s stories from April and can’t find the actual anon and I don’t remember what it said. Sorry

- I forgot to mention this earlier but a week before the Azerbaijan Gp Kelly was trying to make it seem like her and Max were on a weekend get away but he actually went to Holland for his Heineken sponsorship

- Back to the 29th. Kelly posted her and P in NYC again. This time P is pictured on a faceless man’s shoulder and in a stroller. Lots of discussion about both but K only addresses the stroller thing

- On the 30th an anon is sent saying Victoria unfollowed and re-followed Kelly

- Just Another disappears

- Max comes second in the Azerbaijan GP and Kelly doesn’t make a congrats post

- Max immediately flies back to Monaco after the GP instead of Miami or NYC like people had been speculating

- Black and White anon shows up again this day(Also take these with a gran of salt because who know if it’s the real one. Same of the other one too)

- Lens Anon up again to answer questions.(Lens Anon we need you to come back and give us Miami tea please🙏🏻)

- Yasmin and Nelson Jr both confirm they are going to Miami

- May 1st, Met Monday, lots of discussion on if Kelly is going is she not?

- Sophie comments “💗💗” on Kelly’s post after only 15 minutes

- People say she’s overcompensating for Vic unfollowing Kelly and to shut down rumors

- Kelly goes in a blocking spree after a bunch of comments asking if she cheated on Max

-She deletes all the ones asking if she cheated and if Max broke up with her but leaves the comments asking if she broke up with him(Side note: Steppy also noticed that Kelly had unblocked her but reblocked her even though she never commented or anything)

- Met Gala happens and of course she wasn’t there

- This is where I’m having trouble. I have no clue when Kelly announced the “meet and greet” with PatBo but It seems like it was announced on the 1st(I can’t say for sure)

- On the 2nd Steppy confirms that Marina Bay anon has sent her proof and seems to be real

- Max leaves for Miami and doesn’t land till around 7:00 EST

- Disco Anon shows up and sends proof to confirm that they are real. (Check the #disco anon to see all that was talked about)

- Kelly, Dafne, and Patrica host a PatBo influencers lunch event on the 3rd

- Everyone is talking about how Kelly looks completely different in every picture and how the botox and filters are getting out of hand

- There’s also lots of discussion about how Kelly looks very unhappy and tired and everyone hopes she doing ok

- On the 4th Max gets pap leaving his hotel and it’s the same agency that pap’d him and Kelly in Miami last year and St. Barths the second time

- An anon sends an ask saying they saw Max and Kelly the night before and took pictures with Max but Kelly ignored them. In a later anon they send in two pictures as proof.(Side note: Max and Kelly aren’t interacting in these pictures. The first on is Kelly a few feet in front of him getting in the car and the second is him standing outside of the car and he appears to be talking to a guy I’m pretty sure was Raymond)

- The Kelly meet and greet happened and is seen in a video just awkward standing in the back

- She also only posted 1 or 2 stories from the meet and greet.

- That night the Piquets go out for Sylvia’s birthday and Max isn’t there

- The day after Kelly reportedly ignored a fan multiple people post pictures with them and a “fan” even wrote about how Kelly was really sweet but they say they didn’t want to interrupt her so they waited till she was leaving to ask for pictures but end the message with “and then she went back to get dinner”

- Yesterday the 6th nothing really happened except Kelly went out with Patrica and Dafne and Max wasn’t there again

- Also somewhere in there an anon noticed that Verstappen.com deleted their last post with Kelly

- FINALLY!!! Today the 7th. Max and Kelly didn’t walk in together but Max does walk in with Nelson Jr

- Kelly posts a picture from the RB garage and a weird distorted picture of Max

- Max wins the GP and hugs all of his team and Martin but doesn’t hug Kelly back

-He talks to Martin instead of Kelly and people are saying they’re giving ChaCha in Abu Dhabi vibes

- Kelly posts now 14 stories from the GP when she usually only posts a couple

- Everyone is discussing how it seems like she’s really milking it

Oof Steppy this took me forever. Sorry it’s soooo long and sorry if I messed up any of the dates. I just thought since these last couple of week have been so messy that we need a recap. Imo the vibes for the last few week have been off and the vibes today were off the charts wacky and weird. Definitely still think thinks aren’t right with them and that Kelly is trying to get all she’s can before it’s too late. Anyway have a good night Steppy and Nonnie I’m going to sleep

👀.
