harryfan15 she takes care of them…y/n is literally their mother that birthed them. GET HELP

harryfan17 just because she’s not photographed with her sons or posting them on social media doesn't mean anything. why do you call yourself a harry fan if you don’t even like his wife?

phoebebridgers MY FAV GIRL

You may know her from being Princess Diana’s daughter or being the one and only muse for Harry Styles. Nonetheless you know her once you hear the name Y/N Styles.

Being a part of The Royal Family growing up had it’s perks including attending a One Direction concert in London just at sixteen years old. Meeting England’s Princess had a familiar singer in a boy band crushing.

Harry Styles went on to make songs and even albums about Y/N when he was still in the band. In 2013 a song called ‘Little Black Dress’ was revealed to be about a certain Princess. Niall Horan talked about the inspiration process in an interview recently which disclosed Harry wrote the song after seeing a photo of Y/N on Instagram.

(source: harry_lambert on instagram)

The world’s biggest Popstar and a Royal dating caused a lot of talk in the public. Many implied they wouldn’t last and it would end up being the largest scandal ever. But they were proved wrong after the pair announced they got married secretly in Amalfi Italy.

Not even a year later, The Royal Family announced Y/N’s farewell. At the time rumours were floating around why she decided to leave the United Kingdom. Many were saying Harry pressured Y/N into leaving The Royal Family so he could keep his career.

Though all those rumours were shut down once the Styles couple made a statement.

Harry Styles: Are you ready darling?

Y/N Styles: I hope so.

H: *laughs* Alright let’s get started! First question…what’s your favorite things to do with our children?

Y/N: I love taking to them the park, seeing them interact with other children makes my heart swell. Oh! I also love bringing them to my pilates classes, the boys really love to mess around with the machines.

H: Ah good old pilates classes.

Y/N: Your favorite thing in the world.

(Photographed by Anthony Pham)

H: Alright baby, next question. What’s the best thing about having children?

Y/N: Probably seeing them grow.

H: I agree. It’s one of the sweetest things ever, I could cry about it.

Y/N: I know, I’ve seen it first hand Sue.

H: I seriously love you.

Y/N: I love you more.

(May 6, 2021 Y/N Styles at her baby shower last year)

H: How do you feel about being a mother?

Y/N: I love it. Being a mother is something I’ve always wanted and now having my own children to raise makes me so happy.

H: I’ve watched you become the mother to our kids and I can tell you love it so much. You always have a smile on your face.

Y/N: Thanks to you my dream of being a mother came true.

H: You make me feel special.

Y/N: I’m glad.

(Unseen photo of Y/N Styles with Elvis Styles, the youngest Styles child)

H: Who’s your favorite musician?

Y/N: The one that constantly writes songs about me.

H: I am so honored, my love. Without you I wouldn’t have any of my albums.

Y/N: I’m just so proud to call you mine. You’re the most talented person I know. Seeing you perform the songs that you made for me really makes me happy.

H: I love making you happy. It’s my favorite thing to do.

5 mattdrai for the writing meme please

I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted to handle this prompt, but I hope it's still to your liking, anon :)

5. things you didn’t say at all

"Hey."

Matthew really isn't in the mood for this right now. He was having a good time being back home in St. Louis for his first All-Stars, talking to some of the best players in the league, watching the skills competition, going out with the guys, and now the game is in a couple hours--

"Tkachuk."

Yeah, no, he's real. That's Draisaitl yelling at him. Well, he isn't yelling, but since he apparently is so hard pressed to even be around Matthew, it'll probably escalate to that soon.

I'd probably get off the ice.

Even if it was a joke--and maybe Matthew is willing to entertain the idea that it had been, coming from mister 'taken out of context'--it makes sharing the locker room awkward.

The thing is, he kind of likes Draisaitl. Admires his game, anyways, even if he is playing for fucking Edmonton. If Matthew had actually been drafted by the Oilers back then, like he thought, they probably could have been friends.

If he's being honest with himself, he kind of likes Draisaitl beyond hockey, too. Because he'd watched Leon's interviews, checked out his Instagram a little--he was curious, sue him--and because McDavid talks a lot when they're training at Gary's. Also, come on, Matthew's not blind. He hates the concept of him in Edmonton, but it's not fair to say Matthew genuinely hates the guy.

Right now though, this may be the first time he's heard Draisaitl ever actually say his name, and he wishes it was anyone else.

"Hey. Hang on." Draisaitl is in front of him now, stony and unreadable, and only then does Matthew realise like a fool that he has actually stopped. They're face-to-face, alone in one of the maintenance halls, the hustle and bustle of the arena a distant hum.

Matthew stares at him, not unkindly, because his mom taught him some damn manners, but not openly friendly, either. Not until he can get a gauge on what Draisaitl wants. Leon. It's Leon. That feels like the only thing Matthew really knows about the guy, sometimes.

"Did you want something?" Matthews asks coolly, leaning against the bricks with his hands shoved deep in the pocket of his sweater.

Leon glances down the hall, up to the buzzing florescent lights, running fingers through his hair. It's hard not to follow his tongue when it pokes out to wet his lips. Damn it, he has no business looking this good.

"I wanted to talk to you," he finally says, and even after all this time Matthew is still caught off guard by how soft he sounds.

"Talk to me?" Matthew narrows his eyes. "I didn't think you'd even want to be seen with me."

Which is a shame, because they'd look pretty damn good together. In his opinion, anyways.

Leon doesn't take the bait. "I saw that interview you did."

"Buddy, you're going to have to be more specific. I've done a few lately. It's the All-Stars."

"Before the break. I don't remember with who. NBC, I think? They asked you about me. What I said."

He doesn't need to elaborate. Matthew raises a brow, scratches the sudden itch at his neck. The air in the hallway is stuffy and warm.

"What about it? I said you were a great player."

"After that, though."

Leon doesn't need to elaborate on that, either. The intensity of his stare does the job well enough.

What did Matthew say again? I probably can't answer that or he'll get mad at me.

Yeah, because the only thing running through his head when he heard what Leon said was, Well damn that sucks because I wanted to find out if he fucks better than he fights. He remembers biting his lip because his brain unhelpfully supplied him with some tempting ideas that were not exactly family friendly. He's twenty-two, he's got hormones, what's he going to do?

But he was pretty sure declaring he wants to fuck a rival player wasn't going to win him any favours with anyone, let alone Leon. And maybe that comment irked him a little in the moment, but no one's opinion matters to Matthew more than his own. Accidentally outing himself during an interview was not high on his list of career moves, so he'd played it safe, locked it all down, and assumed that'd be the end of it.

"I didn't say anything," Matthew says.

This feels strange. Leon doesn't look pissed, he looks curious. Piqued, like he's waiting to hear something specific.

"I know."

"So what's your problem?"

"What were you going to say?"

Matthew cocks his head. "What, you thought I was going to burst into tears because the German Gretzky doesn't like me?"

Except he knows Leon's not an asshole. Not all the time, anyways. Not off the ice. Which makes it fucking hard to just blow him off.

"You were all over us that game," Leon says. "Kass was pissed. You're a fucking pest, what the hell did you expect me to say?"

"Is this you trying to apologise? Because if it is, you're doing a hell of a job."

"You never hold back on anything."

"Why the hell does it matter?" Christ, it's like Leon is trying to pick a fight.

"You looked like you had something to say." There's a hint of suspicion--of implication--in Leon's voice that makes Matthew tense.

"You think I'm an asshole, so I don't know why you care."

Maybe this is a prank. Maybe he figured it all out and he's waiting for Matthew to break down and declare, I think I could fall in love with you if you let me.

Leon shuts his eyes briefly, shoulders rising and falling as he takes one long, deep breath through his nose.

"I didn't mean it how it sounded."

"Yeah, I heard." Matthew's stomach rolls in ways it shouldn't. "I don't know what other context you want me to take it in, though. It's not even a big deal, anyways. I mean, yeah, it kind of sucks finding out a guy you like thinks you're a piece of shit, but it's whatever, right?"

"I didn't call you--I don't think you're--"

Groaning, Leon thumps his head against the wall and drags a hand down his face. He takes a minute to compose himself, staring up at the ceiling, then down between his feet, face screwed up in thought. Finally, he looks back to Matthew.

"You like me, eh?"

It's been a long weekend; Matthew's too tired to backpedal and try to make up some excuse. Part of him just wants to drop it out in the open and be done with it. Just come out and say, Yeah, the 'I want to take you home' kind of like. The 'I want you to make me scream' kind of like.

Just to see what Leon would do. At the very least, he probably wouldn't punch Matthew. He's not a glove-dropper, after all, and he's not so scary without a stick in his hand.

He tries to imagine Leon's wide eyed, slack-jawed expression. Maybe the little 'Oh' that would slip through his lips. Because yeah, 'Oh' would be about right. It would be the most embarrassing conversation of Matthew's life; more embarrassing than when he came out to his family and Brady asked him to rank his favourite players by 'fuckability'.

"It doesn't matter." Matthew shakes his head, clears his throat, looking anywhere but at Leon. "Look, man, let's just go back to beating each other up on the ice and pretend this never happened, okay?"

"No, hey, don't"--Leon grabs Matthew's arm as he pushes off the wall, fully ready to disappear and never talk about this again--"It does matter. Tell me."

Matthew would rather go dunk his head under the sink and rub the embarrassing flush from his cheeks. He's hot all over, from the beating in his chest to the blood in his veins. Where Leon's touching tingles with an intimacy they've never had. It may be the first time they've touched without the aggression of a game to justify it.

And damn, Leon's looking at him like he can read Matthew's mind, or trying to get Matthew to read a little of his own. It's all heat and intensity and a look that says, I don't think you hate me, and I don't want you to think I hate you.

"What do you want from me?" Matthew says. "Why's this so important to you?"

It's possible he imagines the way Leon's eyes flit down and back. They're pressed almost right against each other now. That must be why Matthew's overheating, struggling to catch a full breath.

"i just want to know..." Leon swallows the rest of his words as he takes half a step closer; a little too close to be innocent. That brick wall of a chest is pressed up against Matthew's arm, nearly crowding him against the wall.

"Know what?" Matthew barely gets the words out.

It's scary to wonder. Ideas are forming in his head--excited, hopeful ones. Matthew won't pretend he's never wondered about Leon; what he could do with him. To him. How his mouth tastes, how his hands feel, what it'd be like having him over and under and around and inside.

And Leon is looking at Matthew like he genuinely cares how he feels. Like maybe, just maybe, he's thinking, too. Wanting.

Wouldn't that just be the biggest fucking drama of Matthew's life?

There's still too much they're not saying.

Neither of them gets the chance.

Something clatters down the hall, followed by the echo of voices.

Leon lets go abruptly, hand dropping to his side. "Shit, sorry. I should, um... Never mind. Just... forget it."

He spins and walks away, just like that, shoulders hunched and hands shoved in his pockets. For a guy who never backs down from a challenge, it looks a little too much like running away.

But it's not like Matthew can call him a coward when he can't even get his own voice to work. Breathless, he slumps against the wall and tries to piece together what just happened, how they managed to say everything and nothing. It feels like he's been through a tornado.

Fuck, he can't deal with whatever this is right now. He cannot be thinking with his dick come game time, let alone worry about whatever the hell his heart is doing.

He stands alone in the hall for a good five minutes, waiting for his nerves to settle, until he finally has the courage to head back, falling into the bustle of players and staff and media.

He avoids Leon in the locker room as best he can. On the ice, too. They don't talk and they keep enough bodies between them on the bench.

Once this is over, they can crack open that can of worms again, figure out what's going on. But there's more important things right now.

They play the All-Star game like they're bitter rivals.

Matthew feeds him a slick pass that turns into a goal.

He skates off without a celly, and Leon gives him a "fuck you" with a smirk and a tongue between his teeth.

But it's fun. Really fun. And despite it all, they're both smiling at the end. Leon's smiling at him.

And Matthew wants to believe that means something.

RWRB Movie Cut Scene: The Extended Polo Scene

Alright I went from obsessively wondering about one deleted scene to obsessively wondering about another deleted scene. Namely. this time, the extended Polo scene.

To start with I do really like what we got! It was really fun and quick and horny and it worked really, really well, both in atmosphere and pacing.

I remember in an interview (forgot which one) Matthew said the polo scene was originally six minutes then with the new editing idea which is what we ended up getting, it was cut down to like two and half minutes, which means we have three and half minutes worth of a deleted scene

I'm guessing what happened was the actual polo match -> conversation and introduction to Bea -> hooking up in the tack room, with that being said:

Alex was practically drooling over watching Henry riding on horseback playing polo (the asshole (jk I love you) even posted a photo of Henry on horseback from the match on his IG close friends stories) how did they go from wanting to make out and eat each other to having a conversation in public (as seen from the montage during the speech)

What the hell were the two of them talking about????

I want the scene with Pez I wanna know what they talked about and I wanna see more friendship. Oh and is this when Pez figures it out? Since in the scene where Zahra finds them Henry says Percy knows

I also really want the scene with Bea. They're obviously close that's explicitly stated in the movie, plus Henry posted a photo of them two from that day on his IG (yes I know it's marketing but right now I'm treating them as real sue me) and I recently learned that Nick and Eliie have been friends for a couple of years by now? I really, really, want more sibling scenes. (especially as someone who relates to Henry and has a sister that I'm very close to) Also Alex and Bea like each other so I really want to know how their proper introduction and this conversation went. On top of that, Henry told Bea about Alex but Alex didn't know that until Zahra busted them and asked, did he tell her here? After all, Bea knew definitively that Henry's gay, and she pulled Nora aside during the wedding, is she wing-womaning? I WANT TO KNOW

In the book it was just Henry and Alex so it was relatively easy to get away and sneak into the tack room. In the movie apparently, they met face-to-face in public and Alex had a whole introduction to the two closest people to Henry. However the fuck did they go from that to hooking up in the tack room without suspicion?

As awesome, hilarious (I can never hear a bagpipe the same way again) and fitting as the quick cut, it was flashes between the match and the hook up. What was the original edit of the tack room supposed to be???? What does the full hook-up footage look like???? Was it longer??? Was there dialogue??? I WANT TO KNOW

I swear if Prime doesn't release the deleted scenes I'm gonna over-analyse everything in every deleted scene and drive myself to insanity in the best way possible.

SO PRIME PLEASE FUCKING RELEASE ALL OF THEM

(probably not all at once because the promise of something new being released in the future is like, my one motivation to fucking live right now I have fucking problems, but like, PLEASE PROMISE YOU'LL RELEASE THEM PRIME)

𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒚 — in which amara is done with being nice and decides to sue her ex-boyfriend for defamation with the support of her friends and lover

𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 — @aechii @lorarri

masterlist

Hold onto your seats because it just got messy and we are expecting a lot! Just when we thought Amara Imani had closed the old chapter with ex-boyfriend Evan Henderson, she takes him to court for a captivating legal battle. So buckle up, dear readers because lawsuits always have include unexpected twists, emotions and ugly truths.

Yes, you heard right— pop queen and music star Amara Imani is not holding back and is suing her the millionaire heir for defamation. We all remember that particular interview Evan gave about the break up— well, it seems as if not only did it cost her a lot of money, but she is also blaming him for the fallout that led to the heartbreaking cancellation of her tour.And let's not forget the web of lies Evan spun, further adding salt to her wounds. Ouch!

And that lawsuit couldn’t have come at a worse time for Henderson. Still fresh from the heartache of his spilt with model Kaia Gerber, he had even confirmed that he had played with the idea of rekindling with ex Amara Imani — and just like that she serves him the manila folder. They do say, revenge, is best served icy cold.

And yet the pain runs even deeper for Henderson as he watches his former sweetheart enjoy the power of love. While Evan Henderson finds himself entangled in a web of failed relationships, with more break-ups than fingers on hands, Amara Imani is reeking and blooming of love. From adorable Instagram stories that drop a few hints about her mysterious new love interest to being spotted numerous times in the romantic streets of Paris, Amara has the world swooning.

But that's not all – get ready for even more music! Imani has teased fans with snippets of new music that is about to come, including two more songs for the deluxe version of Mon Amour. It seems that her new found inspiration is nurturing her well with motivation.

A world wide hunt is on to find out who Amara Imani’s new beau is, with fans dying to know who she declared her love to. The internet turned into detectives, trying to piece together the clues and whispers to uncover the identity of this lucky soul. After Imani posted a picture, where she quoted Taylor swift ‘karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight how to me’, we now find actor Timothée Chalamet (Imani was rumored once to have a fling with), singer Harry Styles (that already expressed his admiration for the black singer) and F1 driver Pierre Gasly (who Imani was seen partying with) as top contenders. We’re all for sure curious as we wait for the revelation of Imani herself.

But don’t worry dear readers, we will update you regularly with news and hope to soon find out who captured Amara Imani’s heart.

as an avid aces hater when are we gonna wake it up how a’ja is doing now, what stewie has done for YEARS, all while they discredited and invalidated it when stewie did it because of “seattle being a superteam” and how it didn’t really count because she had sue.. sorry it’s just funny to me

well I have MANY thoughts about this lol. so let's go.

people act like what vegas has done is something unique and special, having all those number one draft picks, growing and building something together, blah blah blah. the seattle storm did it before vegas did, but I watched plenty of people say they didn't like them and it was bad for the game that they were winning. in 2020 someone legit called them a superteam so it's not impressive before the superteam talk really began last year. the seattle storm were never a "superteam" by what we know a superteam to be. sue, jewell and stewie were all number one picks, just like those aces players. sami and AC were players no one gave a shot and only became who they are because seattle gave it to them, and they developed into solid, solid pieces in that system. the only notable player they got in free agency was natasha howard but she was not the player she is now, she became that WHILE in seattle. vegas didn't do it all entirely organically, chelsea gray was not an original piece, they got her in free agency like they got CP3 in free agency. as for the stewie and a'ja part of this, stewie could do a million things right but it would never be enough to impress that side and I'm vice versa it's the same, but I have NEVER seen a fanbase more vicious about their preference than the aces/a'ja/sc side. when it was stewie vs a'ja for MVP in 2022, I distinctly remember people saying stewie can't be MVP because she has a bunch of number one picks around her, but somehow that wasn't a disqualifying factor for a'ja who did as well. and those teammates of a'ja's were ALSO in the MVP convo, whereas stewie's teammates were not. stewie's team record was a disqualifying factor for her MVP case, because her team was 4th. despite the fact that she singlehandedly dragged them to that top 4 finish, without her I don't think they would have gotten there. that seattle team was not as deep or on that year as they were in the past. VALUABLE is in that title, so you tell me what added the most value to their team in that run? they said it should only go to the best player on the number one team. but I'm sure now this year, that somehow will magically not be a factor in a'ja's case given vegas' record halfway through the season. they will be the first to complain about goalposts moving all the time, but no one moves them more than them. and guys, these people couldn't STAND that storm team. I'm serious. when someone said back then it was bad for the league that seattle was so stacked and winning, I remember asking was it bad for the league when the lynx were stacked and winning even MORE, did y'all hate them as much as you do seattle? do they hate vegas that much now? no, clearly they don't. I'm sure they think what vegas has done is just fine. and mind you, seattle was doing all that without being the shady POS vegas has been over the last few years. people conveniently overlook that, too. they hated seattle simply because they were good, they hated sue and stewie, and always wanted to start some campaign that jewell was overlooked and should leave when jewell made it clear REPEATEDLY that was the place she was happy. and there were media who very much played into this whole thing, people who were able to get credentials to interview people like sue or stewie, but then talk shit about them constantly on their little twitter accounts. all seattle ever did was be good and love on each other in their little family bubble and people couldn't stand them. it's funny as much as it's not funny, really.

but anyway. it's fuck all of them and vegas forever until karma finally does it's big one or whatever. side note: at least my MVP hasn't ever been super chummy with a weirdo super fan who is also an abuser, so. I at least can always feel good about that.

The Daughters of Eve on playing for The Beatles

(For those who don't know, The Daughters of Eve were one of the first all-girl rock bands, formed in the 1960's in Chicago, and had a song you might have heard that recently went viral called 'Hey Lover'!)

Here are some outtakes from my (soon to be published) article of my interviews with The Daughters of Eve:

Andrea: You know, my parents were very interesting. They were always very aware of what was going on in the world. They were very political, very sports-minded, very into music and entertainment and so if there was a new Broadway musical that came to Chicago, they always got tickets for the family and we got to see it, or when Elvis Presley was on the rise, I was in kindergarten but my parents got us all tickets to see Elvis Presley. I think I fell asleep in the midst of the concert because I was 5 years old when we went. My parents were always into-- if a famous politician came to town, we went to the rally. Queen Elizabeth passed through Chicago in 1958 or ’59, some point in there, and sure enough we were out in front of Buckingham fountain watching her motorcade pass by. We were always involved in what was current and happening in the city. And so, when the Beatles came to town, my parents got us tickets and so we went, my parents got tickets for Debi, myself and my best friend Sue. My dad took us to the concert and he said ‘Hey, why don’t you girls throw your guitars in the trunk’ and so we did. And while we were in watching the Beatles, my dad was outside of the venue, the amphitheater I think it was, talking to all the staff and somehow found out which hotel the Beatles were in. So, when we exited the concert, we all got in the car and my dad said ‘lets go to the hotel where the Beatles are and you girls can just take out your guitars and just start singing the Beatles songs’. And so sure enough we did, and at some point  The Beatles all looked out their hotel window— which it wasn’t a big high rise, they were probably up probably, in my memory, maybe the fourth floor. I do remember they all looked out the window and waved to us. And what a thrill!

Debi:  It was just an acoustic thing with the three of us singing. We sang their song, we serenaded them after the concert. But after they looked out the window... it was so weird. It was Andee, me, and my friend Sue. My brother and I used to have ‘hootenannies’ at our house on the weekends and we would play there, my brothers band would play in our basement in Chicago in our house. We started so kids would have places to go and parents knew where they’d be so they agreed to it. We served coffee and sodas and popcorn and it was fun. It was one summer we did that and then Suzy, Andee and I had a little singing group. The three of us would do all the Beatles songs and we would harmonize like the Beatles so when we went to the concert, one of the last concerts that they played in Chicago, we went to their hotel. I guess her parents drove us there. Then we got out and serenaded them. This is way before DOE. I think Andee was all of 12. We were really really young, we were just learning about life. Bob Dylan was coming around, a year later Joan Baez and Buffy Saint Marie. People like that, the folk music scene was very popular back in those days. And Newport jazz festival. It was a different time, it was fun. There was no computers, nothing like that, you had to make your own fun and something really cool came out of it.

Sweet Magnolias “Okay, but…” rant

Can we just talk for a second about Show vs. Book characters?!

I’ve seen SO many posts and interviews or whatever that talk about how the show will follow the books and all - and while that is FANTASTIC couple-wise - but I’m not really convinced that it can.

Character Point 1: Annabelle “Annie” Sullivan

Show Annie is healthy while Book Annie had an eating disorder. I’m not saying that if they decided to follow that storyline that it couldn’t work, but… she’s so conscious of what her mom eats - she attempted to remove all sugars from their home after Dana Sue went to the hospital - that I’m not sure how they would make it believable.

Book Annie ends up becoming a physical therapist or some such and working at The Corner Spa. She COULD choose this path for her life in the show. BUT Show Annie seems more design oriented than Book Annie ever seemed to be. At the moment, I can’t see Show Annie having any interest in being a physical therapist person.

Book Annie seems to have less backbone or equal footing in comparison to Show Annie. The way it seems in the books is that Annie became a physical therapist person BECAUSE of Ty. Like her decisions only focused on a boy. That may just be my interpretation. But Show Annie is part of that blog or message board or whatever that posts photos of the “real Serenity” and I just never got that vibe from Book Annie.

Character Point 2: Tyler “Ty” Townsend

Let’s start with the MAIN divergence that I see between the two: cheating on partner and getting someone else pregnant. They COULD do this - I’d stop watching in protest - BUT it would major shifts in personality/perspective/attitude for it to seem convincing. Show Ty was SO mad at his father for cheating on Maddie and ruining their family by getting someone else pregnant. I can’t see the boy who barely tolerated Noreen’s presence and noticeably grew agitated when she watched his games ever turn around and do that to the person he was with. Especially not if that person was Annie.

Book Ty seems TOO invested in baseball to really be the same person as Show Ty. Maybe thats just because we’ve seen Show Ty deal with the loss of being able to play baseball already and having that “baseball bubble” shattered. Show Ty has already dealt with an injury that requires a break from baseball and he’s found other things he enjoys in that time. Book Ty never seems to have that revelation. Show Ty just seems to have more depth of character to me.

Book Ty just seems to think things will fall into place with very little work. I remember in one of the books, Ty has a conversation with Cal and Cal calls him out on believing that just showing up would guarantee that things went the way Ty wanted. Show Ty seems to have started to be a bit more humbled already. Someone his age called him out on just trying to flirt his way into getting what he wants. Also, Show Ty has had to watch Annie with someone else and not be able to say anything. I don’t recall anything like that for Book Ty.

Character Point 3: Maddie Townsend

Show Maddie has been dating Cal a while, right? No proposals or pregnancies as far as I can see. It feels in-authentic for Show Maddie to decide on trusting and marrying someone that fast.

Character Point 4: Helen Decatur

Book Helen and Book Erik were in a friends-with-benefits relationship. Show Helen and Erik are friends - we’re ignoring that rough patch where they don’t talk - but I have yet to see hide nor hair of “with-benefits” in the show.

Book Helen is so desperate for a child that she manipulates Book Erik to get what she wants. Show Helen is a wonderful lawyer that gets what needs done done. But Show Helen would NEVER violate trust given to her like THAT. Show Helen wants children, but she’s gonna do it by herself if she has to; none of that (toxic) behavior needed as she’s too kind-hearted for that.

Need I go on???

Does anyone ACTUALLY think that we can really say that the show will follow the books?!

thank you for listening to my rant.

(Yes, I adore TyAnnie)

Hello Celta, I’ve a reading request if you’re interested. Can we get bead on if Charles was involved in any way in bringing about the Martin Brasher interview? The reason I ask is there’s a court case involving Charles Spenser and the BBC. He threatens to sue if the filmmaker requesting the documents under the FOI act implicates him in any way in the deception of Diana to manipulate her into an interview. What I find confusing and puzzling that he offered up the original account statements that was used as a basis for the forged statements purporting to show payments to staff members. (The filmmaker is making a documentary on this matter, and has requested the documents under the FOI act). Spencer says under oath he did not collude with the BBC and no such information is out there in the public domain.

1. Who asked him to provide those statements?. 2. Who determined that Diana would find the forged statements persuasive? 3. Why would she find it credible in the first place? 4. Who’s idea was this?

I’ve been looking at KCIII and CSW in a new light since January 2023, I’m beginning to see possible patterns here or I’m just imagining these two are capable of the worst actions. By the early 90s the marriage was well and truly over and it’s my belief that C&C started intensely upping the ante in any way they could to push for a divorce. It was extremely cruel to let her believe that she was being spied on in her own household and that William was part of it, supposedly wearing a listening device on his watch. It more than gaslighting, it’s very sick and sadistic.

Tom Bower was saying that the BBC lied about there being only 73 pages of documents. Turns out there’s now over 3000 pages of documents. And they’re still trying to cover it up. I wonder how far up the food chain it goes, and if there was any Royal interest in making this interview happen, and if that’s the need to cover this up.

Could this be one of the secrets that Charles sees William uncovering? Andrew’s documents have been buried until 2065. I wonder if there will be a push to get this buried similarly. I wouldn’t put anything past KC.

Hi AnonymousRetired,

Yes, you can get a reading on that. I have added it to my list and I will get to it after the anniversary of Her Majesty's death, which has me unsettled at the moment.

This is going to turn into an even bigger mess than it already is, I think. I think the BBC is in 'protect ourselves' mode, hence the cover up and the lying. The whole situation makes them look very bad so I would not be surprised if they are trying to bury it.

I do not want to think that anyone from the royal family was involved with the Bashir interview in any way, as that is just horrible. It was wrong what they did to Princess Diana, especially turning her against her own child. As you said, that is just cruel.

There have been rumours that Charles Spencer was involved in the interview. I remember hearing about this years ago. Not that he forged documents, but that he was involved in the payment of people or something like that. If I am remembering correctly, then maybe his behaviour is in part because he is reacting to those old rumours. He may just want to clear his name of any smears that are being whispered about him.

BARRY: We do not. ADAM: - You wish you could. MARTIN: - Whose side are you on? BARRY: The bees! UNCLE CARL: (He has been sitting in the back of the room this entire time) I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night. JANET: Barry, this is what you want to do with your life? BARRY: I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! : Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked : your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop. JANET: I remember that. BARRY: What right do they have to our honey? : We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! ADAM: Even if it's true, what can one bee do? BARRY: Sting them where it really hurts. MARTIN: In the face! The eye! : - That would hurt. BARRY: - No. MARTIN: Up the nose? That's a killer. BARRY: There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. (Flash forward a bit in time and we are watching the Bee News) BEE NEWS NARRATOR: Hive at Five, the hive's only full-hour action news source. BEE PROTESTOR: No more bee beards! BEE NEWS NARRATOR: With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. : Weather with Storm Stinger. : Sports with Buzz Larvi. : And Jeanette Chung. BOB BUMBLE: - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble. JEANETTE CHUNG: - And I'm Jeanette Chung. BOB BUMBLE: A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, : intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, : packaging it and profiting from it illegally! JEANETTE CHUNG: Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, : we'll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, : Classy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. (The scene changes to an interview on the news with Bee version of Larry King and Barry) BEE LARRY KING: Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson. : Did you ever think, "I'm a kid from the hive. I can't do this"? BARRY: Bees have never been afraid to change the world. : What about Bee Columbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? BEE LARRY KING: Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. : We were thinking of stickball or candy stores. BARRY: How old are you? BEE LARRY KING: The bee community is supporting you in this case, : which will be the trial of the bee century. BARRY: You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too. BEE LARRY KING: It's a common name. Next week... BARRY: He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots... BEE LARRY KING: Next week... BARRY: Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard 'em. BEE LARRY KING: Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here, live. (Bee Larry King gets annoyed and flies away offscreen) BARRY: Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. (Flash forward in time. We see Vanessa enter and Ken enters behind her. They are arguing) KEN: In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! VANESSA: It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81. KEN== Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of that? BARRY: (To Ken) Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. KEN: (Pointing at Barry) - Is that that same bee? VANESSA: - Yes, it is! : I'm helping him sue the human race. BARRY: - Hello. KEN: - Hello, bee. VANESSA: This is Ken. BARRY: (Recalling the "Winter Boots" incident earlier) Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe. KEN: (To Vanessa) Why does he talk again? VANESSA:

JUST KNOW YOU’LL TASTE ME TOO

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

They’ve put up all the Taskmaster season 16 interviews already, which I like. In recent seasons they’ve been putting them out earlier and earlier into the season, and I always thought they should really just put all of them up before the season starts, as those are meant to be a way to get a feel for the contestants ahead of actually seeing them. The way they’ve split it in earlier seasons has a couple airing before the season starts and then the others airing a few episodes in, so some give you that feel for ones we don’t know about yet and then some are just extra details about people we’ve already seen on the show, and it’s a bit confusing. I much prefer being able to watch them all beforehand.

I watched them all tonight, and quite enjoyed that. Liked the format of this one – finally making them draw a picture of Alex after years of drawing Greg. And God, Alex is good at his job. Sometimes I forget a bit, or just take it for granted, how incredibly funny Alex Horne can be while just really causally, deadpan, fucking with a contestant via simple questions. To answer one of the questions he asked – no, I don’t think anyone else could do that job as well as he does (though Paul Williams is also fucking good at it). I think a lot of other people could do Greg’s job, very few could do Alex’s.

The interviews were fun. I enjoyed how much of an impression Julian Clary made, as I haven’t seen him do much else so that was a nice way to get to know him a bit. Imposing and confident. The only one to not just do everything Alex asked him. Clearly it’s a character, but there may have also been an underlying bit of “I have had a very long and very successful career in showbusiness, I don’t need to be desperate to do well on a panel show.”

Lucy Beaumont’s reminded me of how much I enjoy watching Lucy Beaumont do anything. I’ve seen her do quite a few things by now, and I still don’t have much of a handle on how much of her ditzy persona is real, but I am looking forward to seeing if I can figure it out via Taskmaster. Not even try to figure out “her true hidden self” or whatever – I’d just like to know how much of it we’re supposed to assume is a character. Though the fact that I can’t really tell is definitely part of her charm. Nearly everything about her is part of her charm. She’s got a lot of charm. So much charm.

I liked Sue Perkins’ mix of Julian Cleary’s “I’m too successful to need to be desperate to impress on a panel show” attitude (the exact opposite of Lucy Beaumont, who came off as being full of “desperate to impress on a panel show” attitude, which is what I’d expected from her), and Lucy Beaumont’s struggling and scrambling. She came off as pretty similar to the Sue Perkins I know from other panel shows, which is exactly what I hope she’ll be on Taskmaster. The duality of humanity. The confidence and the scrambling. The cool exterior and the panic. It’s going to be fun.

Susan Wokoma was the one I knew the least well, even including Cleary, so seeing her was fun. It was funny to watch her after someone like Julian Cleary, who was deadpanning right alongside Alex. While Susan was the opposite, breaking into giggles at the absurdity of everything he said, reminding me that way of Desiree Burch or even Katherine Parkinson. Constantly surprised by the revelation of what show she’s on (which might be explained by her answer of “my agents wanted me to” when asked why she did the show). Her laugh is fun to listen to, as is her defensiveness every time Alex changes the rules. I look forward to listening to both those things for ten episodes.

Sam Campbell had me worried for a bit, with my bold claims that I think he will be better at the tasks (not even at the comedy, just at scoring points in the tasks) than anyone else on this season. It doesn’t bode incredibly well toward me being proven right that he couldn’t remember how pronouns worked and tripped over his words on every sentence when asked to make a pretty simple language change. That skill is integral to a lot of tasks. Though my hopes were restored when his picture was revealed at the end, and it was by far the best. That’s a skill I didn’t even know he had when I was listing the skills he’s displayed through his stand-up that I think will make him good at tasks. Turns out Sammy C can draw, add that to the list of reasons for my prediction! (Actually I’ve just realized I did already know that, he drew that picture that James Acaster brought in ages ago.) Anyway, he was huge fun, that was the sort of energy level I've been hoping he'll bring.

I had a friend on Tumblr apologize to me the other day for whether they talk too much about finding a comedian attractive, as though I am too respectable a person for such tawdry things and shouldn’t have to hear them. Which is a ridiculous thing to apologize for, given that I’m well aware that Tumblr.com is very much the talking about famous people you want to fuck website. I mean, I might personally use it for other things, but I’m not here to disrespect its main function. So having said that, I’ve had a crush on Sue Perkins since I first got into Radio 4’s The News Quiz when I was nineteen. I didn’t even know what she looked like until I’d been hearing her voice for years, but just hearing her on the radio was enough to do that (though… when I eventually Googled a picture of her, that certainly didn’t hurt). On the subject of voices, seeing Lucy Beaumont’s video has reminded me that that particular accent is… certainly an impressive accent. That’s a good accent. What's the least creepy way I can say that's a good accent? Because I'd like to do that. And look, I sort of think that everyone, regardless of their gender or usual sexual orientation, who sees Sam Campbell has at least a bit of a crush on him.

So there you go, I thought I’d end my post with something to let people know that no one has to apologize to me for calling comedians hot on Tumblr.com; I can do it too, even if I usually make at least some effort to say these sorts of things slightly less often than I think them. But I’m glad everyone is having a good time.

New season tomorrow! New season tomorrow! Very excited for the new season tomorrow (even though I’m going to see Grace Petrie tomorrow, which I’m incredibly fucking excited about, so I won’t get to watch the episode until Friday after work). Happy early Taskmaster Day to all who celebrate!

[female-buckets]

So quiet on the Sue Bird doc front. You’d think, a blog that supposedly celebrates women’s basketball, would be madly hyping up a documentary on one of the leagues’ most successful players. You know the film is all about her career, right? And you know this isn’t like documentaries on the men’s side where they produce it themselves? Others independently saw her greatness and wanted to highlight it. Yeah, It’s weird, bc I’d think you’d be all over this, but then I remember you don’t think Sue is all that. If it were DT or BG, it’s all you’d post about 🤣 Hey, but rumor has it that Dee is in it a lot. Maybe that’ll make you watch it.

You hate me more than you love Sue. It's getting creepy.

I have a bunch of messages from cool and nice people that I need to catch up with. But you're getting my attention first because you've successfully annoyed me. I know the attention feeds your soul because you are a troll. I'm being so kind and generous to you by giving you this attention you crave.

I can guarantee that Sue would hate the way you're talking and acting towards other fans. It's wild how you claim to love Sue but you don't actually listen to what she says in interviews. She shares tons of life lessons and advice on podcasts and panels and speaking engagements. But you've clearly taken none of it to heart because you've been harassing me for months. You're obsessed with a conspiracy theory that you invented about me hating Sue. Instead of fixating on that, please try to form neural pathways that are more positive and uplifting. Maybe try some guided meditations.

Part 16

(Barry flies out and he discovers that there are hundreds of these structures, each housing thousands of Bees)

Barry: Oh, no! There's hundreds of them!

(Barry takes out his camera and takes pictures of these Bee work camps. The beekeepers look very evil in these depictions)

Barry: Bee honey. Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something.

(Flash forward in time and Barry is showing these pictures to his parents)

Janet: Oh, Barry, stop.

Martin: Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor.

Barry: Do these look like rumors?

(Holds up the pictures)

Uncle Carl: That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos.

Janet: How did you get mixed up in this?

Adam: He's been talking to humans.

Janet: What?

Martin: Talking to humans?!

Adam: He has a human girlfriend. And they make out!

Janet: Make out? Barry!

Janet: Barry, this is what you want to do with your life?

Barry: I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop.

Janet: I remember that.

Barry: What right do they have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!

Adam: Even if it's true, what can one bee do?

Barry: Sting them where it really hurts.

Martin: In the face! The eye! That would hurt.

Barry: No.

Martin: Up the nose? That's a killer.

Barry: There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters.

Barry: Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Columbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?

Bee Larry King: Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy stores.

Barry: How old are you?

Bee Larry King: The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century.

Barry: You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too.

Bee Larry King: It's a common name. Next week...

FUCK its the end of January - Diary of a Big Ole Gay 1/31/2023

Hey whores, its me your bitch back on his bullshit.

So I have a interview tomorrow and I'm waiting to hear back from like three, four different places. so its a lot of waiting.

(yeah I kinda hate having to sit on my ass and waiting)

Also I probably didn't watch that much queer stuff this week so sorry? I mean I had to slow down a little whores. most of this stuff is stuck behind a paywall. (pssst I have a ko-fi if you wanna help a whore out).

The Legend of Lylah Clare (1968) dir. Robert Aldrich

So this is one of those movies that had a queer element and then were also just very poorly recieved for completly unrelated reasons, (think Sylvia Scarlett or Glen or Glenda). This film is about 80% less gay then that. On one hand you have this very meta type of patisches to it its a lot of elements from things like Rebecca and Sunset Boulivard.

You basically have this young actress who has this preternaturally ability to imitate Lylah Clare a golden age star who died in a spectacular fasion and she bascially falls into the wild child/Bisexual Vamp role. If you remember me discussing Lola from Pandoras Box then you have a sense of what I'm talking about.

TBH it is very campy and fun but the reason why this is on the list is that one of the characters is a lesbian and she was fucking Lola Rebecca, *checks notes*, sorry Lylah Clare.

Muchachas de Uniforme (1951) dir. Alfredo B. Crevenna

so this is a mexican remake of the classic and while there are some aspects I really like about it (the expressionist type architecture, the costume design), it tones down a lot of the queerness of the original.

I will say that this

1. is a lot darker and if you know how the original ends then know that they go for the bummer ending. (bury your gays)

2. I watched this on youtube and there were no English Subs so I had to use the auto-translate function which meant I only got the barest bones concept of the dialogue. its buggy, spanish is a fast spoken language and also if I understood spanish the dialogue would probably be really pretty. So understand there is a language barrier for me here.

Lo siento, me esponal no es bueno, estudiar para tres anos perro soy es estudiente malo. Sue me.

Madchen in Uniform (1958) dir. Géza von Radványi

This one is a lot more faithful to the original but they also butcher the bedroom kiss scene. However they do make that up with this kiss later on when they extend the play plot point.

I will say that I do like aspects of this film, i like there take on it but the original madchen in uniform is far superior to both of the remakes.

and thats not to say that the remakes are bad films they have a great aestetic, they add little details the original does but its something about the original that just sings in a way these ones dont

Everything Else I watched this week and a half

as you can tell I watched Infinity Pool, It was great. Horror Autuers are like lets shit on rich people and I'm all for it. Its giving sci-fi taking to its psycological horror extremes and what happens when you give in negative nihilism.

Also watched 2017 B&B, its a gay thriller and its pretty good if a bit triggering.

I finished the rest of the Hammer House of Horror and umm what else...

So I watched Bi-coastal, one of the Catalina Bisexual Features they did in the 70s directed by Tom DeSimone, (or as he went by then Lance Brookes). The men in it are definetly hollywood twink and not the sexy Gage Men, but despite that Bi-Coastal was V V hot. and honestly very bi positive for the time.

’90s...

Pouring it on—thick

Legendary bartender Betty Moore serves up 47 years of Dallas memories

BETTY BAD-ASS: Moore's a rootin'-tootin Dallas dame.

By DANIEL KUSNER | Aug. 17, 2007

It's another blistering afternoon on Maple Avenue.

And from behind the bar at Buddies II, Betty Moore saunters over and asks what I want to drink.

I tell her I remember working behind that same bar — 17 years ago.

When it was called The Wave.

"Well, that's nothing," she tells me. Moore has been working at Buddies II for 25 years: 15 years at its present location and 10 years at its previous digs.

This Saturday, she'll be roasted — in the Dean Martin tradition, where friends insult, praise and give heartwarming tributes.

Moore's roast is expected to be a hybrid of good-natured skewering, white-trash heckling and old-school memories of Dallas' gay past.

Wearing a pair of Wranglers so stiff you could use them to splint broken bones, Moore is practically a walking volume of Southwestern history.

She was born in Hugo, Okla., in 1929 — during the height of the Prohibition.

In 1930, another Betty arrived on the scene: Betty Boop, and Moore has been a lifelong admirer of the overtly sexual cartoon flapper.

Moore flashes me a Boop keychain that's fastened to a loop that also holds a 20-year-old hand-tooled leather belt.

Moore's childhood was spent riding horsess playing tennis and watching her older sibling go to college and get married.

"No, I wasn't a feminist! I was none of that," Moore says. "I just wasn't much interested in following that family tradition.”

The city nearest to Hugo was Paris, Texas — about 130 miles away.

Moore's family ran a farm and her father also worked in the railroad business.

But Betty's eyes widen when she talks about her "rich aunt, Sue Fitzhugh," whose husband ran a distributorship for Pearl Brewery and was the same family that Dallas' Fitzhugh Avenue was named after.

Moore was Aunt Sue's favorite niece.

Between regular visits to Big D, the twosome often toured the U.S.

"I remember she took me to, New York in 1959, and we saw Auntie Mame' on Broadway with Rosalind Russell. We stayed at the Del Monaco and met Ed Sullivan, who lived at the hotel," she remembers.

By 1960, when Moore was in her early 30s, her parents passed away, and the family house and farm were sold.

Aunt Sue convinced Moore to move to Dallas.

When she relocated to North Texas, Moore brought along a special ladyfriend, who was then in her late teens.

"I don't really want to talk about all that," she says exasperated. "I lived a different life back then.”

In the '60s, Moore was a stylish gal: She rode in limousines to Neiman Marcus and lounged about poolside at the country club.

And that's when she first heard about Trader Vick's — an "itty bitty" bar on Monticello Avenue. "Some people at the pool were talking about these 'queers.' They'd go to Trader Vick's and watch them. Back then, I was all hoity-toity. And I said, 'Of course I'll never go there,*" Moore remembers. "Well, I practically broke my neck running to the showers so I could jump in my car and rush over there.”

Pulling teeth is easier than interviewing Moore.

Just when she offers up a juicy detail about her illustrious past, she throws her hands up and warns me, "Now, you can't print that or I shoot you with my 25 automatic.”

Her thirsty patrons laugh and say, "Betty's sure is a feisty pistol, huh?”

"I miss the old days. They were wild. Even though the police raided the bars, things seemed more relaxed. And people seemed more tight-knit back then," she remembers. "But I'm friends with everyone.”

In the early '80s, Moore started working behind the bar.

Since then, she's slung drinks at Bootcamp, The Peacock and The Hideaway.

Her 25th anniversary roast at Buddies II promises to be a hoot.

During our chitchat, Moore got to check out the poster that was created for the party.

She touches the sides of her face when she sees the photo of herself brandishing a rifle while three hillbilly-looking slobs look in fear as they rassle near their mobile home.

"Oh, wonderful," she beams. "It's going to be a trailer trash party.”

Incoming Text for Ye a.k.a. Kanye:

Hey, Ye! Listen, man! I decided to ignore you because I didn't like the way you let Milo sue my sister YesJulz, you could have prevented it but you didn't, so guess what? I'm gone now.

Back in october 2022, I used to be mad at Kid Cudi because he abandoned you and disavowed you when you were being attacked in the media back in 2022, I was angry at Kid Cudi for giving up on his old friend, I was like: "How could Kid Cudi give up on his old friend Kanye like that?"

But that was then, this is now... I was blind but now I see.

You have lost yet another friend, I will disavow you too because you have this unique ability to turn your best friends into disappointed friends, you push people away with your negativity bro!

I swear, I was unhappy about what happened to you back in October 2022, I was watching every news update thinking they would hurt you, we were worried, the entire black community was worried for you back in October 2022. I even watched the entire "Drinks Champ" interview with Noreaga, it was a three hour long interview mind you, but I watched it anyway because I was curious.

I was sad about what they did to you, we were all sad, no one wants to see our brother Kanye get bullied by the media that way.

But then, you teamed up with Milo, I don't know that guy, I don't even care, I remember your interview on Alex Jones back in November 2022 I think, I don't remember the date but I know you had a mask on and you were with Milo, come on, Ye.

I respect you, because you're a black warrior, and I have immense respect for your warrior lifestyle but you disappoint your supporters and they all leave you because you have this unique ability to make us all mad at you for the way you treat the people who support you.

So, with all due respect, Ye, fuck you, bro! I'm out! I'm not supporting you and Milo, that will be my last time speaking about you on my page. I even erased your music.

Also, please do me a favor and don't get jealous when I write to Kim Kardashian, I don't want to fuck her, or sleep with her or any of that stuff, okay? I'm a political hostage and Kim Kardashian is a good lawyer, so don't go trippin' on our Lawyer & Client relationship.

Angelo says: "Hey, YesJulz! Guess why they fired you?"

YesJulz says: "Why? Tell me!"

Angelo says: "Ye is paranoid, he thinks I'm a lover of Kim Kardashian, so he is trying to hurt me by hurting you, he thinks I'm fuckin' Kim K."

YesJulz says: "Are you fucking her?"

Angelo says: "No, I swear, I'm not, I respect Ye and I respect Kim K, I would never do anything like that but Ye doesn't want to believe it, so he decided to hurt you with the support of his friend Milo."

YesJulz says: "What a shitshow, right? I'm okay though, I got a lot of support from women, I'm cool with whatever, I'm not mad at them! I will move on to my next projects, it's as simple as that."

I'm not someone who is interested in Kim Kardashian, okay? She is a good woman and she is defending me in a court-room, that's it!

Why does it always have to be romance or sex involved? I'm a client, not a lover, read that again, I said, I'm a client, not a lover.

Kim is my lawyer, that's it, nothing more than a lawyer.

Never forget that I'm a hostage, you forget these things about me, so It's my duty to remind you, you're dealing with a man who is a political hostage, guess who? Me, that's who, I'm a hostage bro!

So, next time you see me text Kim Kardashian, please keep your jealousy in check, she is my lawyer, that's all! Nothing else!

I know you and Milo started mistreating my sister YesJulz because y'all are paranoid and you think I'm a lover of Kim K but I'm not, I swear, I'm not.

This is what I mean when I say that Ye has this unique ability to always turn his loyal friends into disappointed friends who abandon him because that's how we protect our peace, you're toxic with your loyal friends. That's why Kid Cudi decided to abandon ship.

I misjudged Kid Cudi back in 2022, now I understand why he decided to disavow you, Ye!

I'm gonna do like Kid Cudi and abandon ship too, bye Ye! I'm out too.

I will always listen to your music because I'm a big fan of your work but you have issues and I can't carry the weight of your issues on my back, I got enough problems of my own bro, so good luck wth that.

Also, I wanted to give you so many dope ideas to make billions of dollars but you won't listen, so who's fault is it? It's your fault Ye, blame yourself! You want to sing and dance and sell shoes your whole life, that's your problem, not mine.

I'm trying to wake you up but you don't want to wake up, so keep sleeping in that Groundhog day time loop of singing and dancing and selling shoes.

You could be building so many billion dollar start-ups with your money, Ye, so many opportunities but you want to keep singing.

It's time to go do something else, take a break for five years and build a billion dollar start-up in another field, can you forget music for five years? It's doable, just leave the studio for five years and watch how your life changes, you will see something else than fashion and music.

I encourage you to pause the Fashion and Music fields in your life for five years.

From 2024 until 2029, can you pause for five years?

Instead, I encourage you to build a Watch start-up company, why don't you go to Switzerland and learn the skills of watchmaking?

Here is useful information about the global watch Market size:

The global watch market size was valued at USD 97.22 billion in 2022. It is estimated to reach USD 148.50 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.82% during the forecast period (2023–2031).

There's a lot of money in this field, imagine selling 20 million watches in the next five years, that's a lot of money.

Here is the wiki page list of Watch manufacturers, see link:

I encourage you to chase this dream for the next five years. Go get'em!

If you build this watch start-up for the next five years, I'm sure you will make a lot of money, do it now Ye, don't wait.

That's all I had to say to you, I wish you success and health and wealth.

Goodbye, old friend, Ye!
