I've had people in my tags wonder if Wandee Goodday did Thai BL's first foray into the wondrous world of 69.

They didn't! The boys from Destiny Seeker did it first:

Well, reader and Jinx matching rings (maybe even wedding rings), and when Caitlin shoots Jinx's finger, she destroys this ring. Jinx’s honest reaction?

of course! thank you for the request <3

i decided to make them promise rings since she lost her middle finger. i hope that’s alright!

summary; jinx’s promise ring being destroyed, and fem!reader comforting her after the fact.

characters included; jinx

tags/warnings; fluff, hurt/comfort, mentions of war/combat, mentions of poor mental health, medical talk ig? (patching up), s2 spoilers

men dni.

you’re sat in jinx’s hideout watching her tinker away with… something. a new type of explosive she’s experimenting with, she says. something that only requires one hexcrystal instead of two or three, since she can’t keep using so many. she’s unceremoniously hunched over the workbench, goggles over her eyes as she messes with the piece of scrap metal in her hand.

“having fun?”

you ask, sitting back in the chair she got you.

“mm… this is more difficult than i thought it would be. who knew this could be so challenging? but i like a challenge.”

she smirks to herself, not taking her eyes off of her project.

“well, you’ve never let ‘difficult’ stop you. you’re a right genius.”

“oh, stop. you’re biased!”

she teases, but she’s got the lightest rouge dusting her cheeks. got her. your gaze continues to follow your girlfriend, the way she moves so freely and carelessly. getting her face impossibly close to power tools, using her nails to clean up dirt, teeth capturing her bottom lip when she’s particularly stumped.

“alright! that’s enough for right now.”

she proclaims, standing up and placing her hands on her hips.

“already?” it couldn’t have been more than fifteen minutes since you asked her how she was doing.

“yeah! besides, i’ve got something for ‘ya.”

jinx springs up from her seat and skitters over to yours, quickly turning it around. you hear cheerful humming from behind you as she shuffles through piles of belongings, clearly looking for something.

"a-ha!"

she spins you back around, both hands on your seat and quickly rises. she's got something clasped in her left hand, but won't reveal it, not yet.

"what's that?"

"you have to be patient, toots! i've got a speech prepared, don't distract me!"

a speech? jinx never gave speeches. was she breaking up with you? so many thoughts began swirling through your mind as your palms began to sweat, gripping the chair- and then jinx revealed what she was hiding. a wooden box. a... ring box?

"isn't it a little soon to be getting engaged, jinx?"

you chuckle dryly, looking up at your girlfriend. she playfully rolls her eyes, and shakes her head, blue bang swaying.

"yes it is, that's why we're not getting engaged."

she clears her throat.

"not yet."

she turns her attention back to the box, and she opens it. inside lays a thick silver ring, with a circular blue gem in the middle. it looked eerily similar to a hexcrystal- but carved into a gemstone. 'JINX' is shakily engraved on the inside, something she undoubtedly did herself.

"this is a promise ring. i've been working on it for a while, and well... it's kind of stupid." she looks off to the side, sheepishly. "but this is me promising myself to you. to show you that i'm serious about this, ya know?"

you look over the ring for a moment, taking it in for all that it is. it's obviously unprofessional, the metal is a bit dull, and the shape isn't precise. but god dammit if it isn't the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. you glance back to your girlfriend, noticing her observing you- likely for any signs of disapproval. poor girl. as much as jinx had improved since meeting you, she still had the habit of expecting the worst. you didn't think that part would ever go away.

"jinx, it's beautiful. i- you made this?"

you ask, your eyes flickering back to the ring she's holding out. noticing how her grip is becoming a bit less stable.

"with my own two hands."

you chuckle, giving her a little grin.

"well? come on, put it on."

jinx doesn't need to be told twice. she gently takes hold of your left hand, removing the ring from the box and slowly slipping it onto your finger.

"there! it's on your middle finger, so your ring finger is open for the real thing."

not an ‘i do,’ but an ‘i will.’

you hold your hand up to the light, admiring how the ring catches it, before leaning forward to press a flurry of kisses to jinx's face.

"ah- hey! stop, you goof!"

she laughs, arms coming to wrap around you as a fit of giggles erupts from her.

"nope! i get to do this!"

it's not a week later when you arrive to jinx's hideout with a promise ring of your own to give her. a thick gold band to contrast the silver jinx had given you, with a rose quartz to accompany your own hexcrystal. pink and blue… she had a theme going, didn't she?

it wasn't handmade, but held the same sentimental value. you weren't as handy as jinx, and you'd learned to accept that a while ago. you had strengths in other areas, one of them being finding perfect gifts. it didn't take you long to find a jeweler in piltover who had exactly what you needed.

"oh, my god- you didn't have to do this."

she gasps, rosy eyes blown wide. both hands are on her cheeks as jinx gently approaches the open box in your hand.

"you promised yourself to me, didn't you? this is my promise to you."

jinx lets you put the ring onto her own left middle finger, her eyes never leaving your face. watching you so intently, she can feel her heart fluttering in her chest. what did she do to deserve you exactly? she could never quite figure it out, but that doesn't matter right now. you glance back up at her, a little smile tugging at the corner of your lips.

"i… you're too good to me, toots. really."

"i am not. i love you, remember?"

"mm… i love you too. i still think you're too good to me, though."

you let out a low chuckle.

"c'mere."

you bring the girl into your arms, tilting her chin with your index finger to gently bring her closer to you. pressing your lips to hers in a slow, gentle kiss.

oh- and of course, your name is engraved on the inside of the ring.

✧.*

you're posted at your girlfriend's hideout, going over notes in preparation for an exam. it's nerve wracking, sure, but the odd tranquility of jinx's desk is useful in its own way.

jinx swings open the door to the hideout, and as soon as she steps onto the panel of the wind turbine supporting her hideout, you can tell she's in hysterics.

the girl is wailing. she's pacing back and forth, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps. but most importantly, her hand is gushing blood. you immediately drop your notes, papers scattering across the desk to rush over to your girlfriend.

"jinx? jinx?! what the hell happened, oh my god..."

you kneel down in front of jinx, taking her hand to examine it. her middle left finger is completely gone, blood rushing out from the wound. it seems to be a clean cut, at least, you won't have to deal with any extra bits to clean up.

"the ring, the ring, it's gone-"

she sobs, a hiccup following and her free hand clenching into a fist at her side. you gasp, looking up at jinx, then back down at her finger.

"jinx, seriously? you just lost your finger and you're worried about a damn ring?!"

you breathe out, exasperation and worry weighing heavy on your voice.

"the ring is important! it's- it's our promise!"

she cries, hanging her head low. jinx is so ashamed, it hurts your heart to see. you let go of her hand and frantically sweep along her workbench for anything. you knew you had a first aid kit somewhere, you'd gotten it after seeing jinx patch herself up in a way that would make any doctor shiver. but god damn it, where was it?

there.

you quickly swipe the kit and a bottle of peroxide from her workbench, rushing back over to jinx. you take one of her wrists and quickly guide her over to her beaten-up couch.

"sit."

"but-"

"sit."

jinx huffs and sits down on the couch, you sitting down beside her. you open the kit and bottle, pouring peroxide onto a cotton square and taking her hand into your lap.

"this is going to sting. a lot."

jinx winces at just the thought, but nods slowly. keeping her eyes on what you're doing-

"agh- fuck!"

she yelps, tossing her head back as you press the square to the wound, holding it there to both disinfect and stop the bleeding.

"i'm sorry, baby, it'll be over soon. i just need to stop the bleeding."

you coo, trying to do anything in your power to calm her down. yet it's obvious the injury itself isn't what she's upset about.

"that- that fucker vi is with shot it off, she shot the ring off..."

jinx seethes through gritted teeth, trying to keep her composure as you hold the peroxide to her wound. ah.. that makes sense. caitlyn was never fond of jinx, especially after the stunt she pulled with the council room. part of you was simply grateful that she didn't just take jinx out, as much as you knew she was probably trying to.

jinx was always putting herself in so much danger, both for the sake of necessity and the fact her ego was just so damn inflated. she said it herself- she just can't seem to die. but she got impossibly close way more than you would've liked her to.

you take out a roll of gauze and begin to wrap it around her hand, the wound being in the center of it all. it's far from professional, but this will have to do until you can get her proper medical attention. which you were trying to avoid talking about, since jinx was the last person to ever admit she needed help.

"jinx, i'm just happy that you're alive. i don't care about the ring right now. what if she had shot you somewhere more... vital?"

"then i would've gotten to keep the ring."

god damn it. she could not be serious right now. you finish wrapping her hand, bleeding having come to a halt and wound disinfected. you'd grab some painkillers in a moment. you quickly take both of her cheeks in your hands, forcing her to look you directly in the eye. the cold metal of your own ring against soft skin.

"jinx. again, i'm happy that you're here, and you're alive, and losing your finger was the worst thing that happened. i will get you a new ring, first thing tomorrow. okay?"

she sighs, her lips coming into a slight pout. at the very least, she's not crying anymore.

"but..."

you press your index finger to her lips, shushing her.

"no. just because you don't have the ring anymore doesn't mean the promise went out the window, okay?" you whisper, brushing your lips against her forehead. "i still love you, and still have promised myself to you. that won't change.

jinx closes her eyes, and leans into your kiss. she seems to have finally resigned, and is snaking her arms around your waist.

"i just- i love you so much..."

"i know, baby. i love you too, which is why i'll get you a new ring. a better one, even."

your hand still cupping her face, you lean in to press a chaste kiss to her lips.

"just stay here, with me. you've had a hell of a day."

The last drop in The Last Drop🍺✨

Here is my self indulging fic set in the Arcane series because I miss Vander a lot and I need to cope with the ending somehow -> Basically a fic where I add an og character (a little girl named Luna) who becomes Vander's fifth adopted child (shoutout to the single dad of the year)

Disclaimer: I haven't played LOL and english isn't my first language, so yeah, and oh I've got daddy issues (reason for which I'm writing this lol)

Mi main Masterlist: here!

Pre-Act 1.1

It's alright, little one

Luna liked Vander's hands. They made her feel safe. He made her feel safe

She's got us now

The Last Drop was a loud place, and Vander's kids were also loud, but Luna slowly begins to fit in within the chaos with her new family

You're not by yourself anymore, Lu

Luna has nightmares, but Vander will always be there for her. She just has to learn that.

I like being close to you

Luna likes to hang out behind the counter because she likes being close to Vander.

It's nice to make new friends

Luna meets Ekko for the first time.

We're having a game night!

When Vander realizes Luna is scared of thunderstorms, he thinks of something to help distract her from the next storm.

To protect something precious one must be willing to do anything

As Luna keeps Vander company while he cleans up for the night, an unexpected visitor arrives: a man with a long coat, black hair, and a scarred eye.

And I'll keep choosing you, every single day

Vander had been called many things in his life, but no one had ever said 'Dad' to him. Until now.

You're my family. Every single one of you.

Mylo, Vi and Claggor get frustrated because they are grounded for a week, and they get angry because Vander doesn't seem to get as angry with Powder and Luna when they do wrong. It's time for him to remind them that he doesn't have any favourites (this one follows directly the one shot/chapter before "And I'll keep choosing you, every single day").

This is somethin' special, kid

On a rare sunny day in the Lanes, all the kids go outside to have fun and play, but not Luna. She stays in the basement all day working on a super secret project that she reveals at the end of the day to her family.

Takes one to know one

Luna makes a new friend, except he isn't from the Lanes, but from Piltover. A boy named Seb.

... more to come!

Drabbles pre Act 1.1.

Told you sprinkles are important!

Vander, Powder and Luna bake Vi a birthday cake.

'Guess the tooth fairy knows her stuff

About a tooth fairy named Claggor.

He's so going to kill us

Luna tags along Vi and Claggor to complete an assignment for Vander, however, she loses them and ends up alone (scaring the sh*t out of her siblings and dad).

... more to come!

Act 1.1

I’ll still fight every day. For them.

Vander wakes up after being taken by Singed for his experiments.

... more to come!

If you have any requests or want to see something happen let me know! I do have a few things mapped out, but as this is a very self indulging fic, I'll probably don't follow a concrete order posting (maybe one day I post a one shot set when they were all kids and the next day one set in season 2, idk depends on the mood ig)

Tell me if you want to be tagged!

I actually can't get past the lack of respect shown to Peter Krause throughout this mess.

This isn't just a character who was in the show for a couple of episodes. No, this was the male lead, who has led the show proudly for eight seasons and is the literal heart of it - and who DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE.

But yet the show decided to do the following:

His death is so poorly written and rushed, that no-one is actually convinced that he's gone because of the multiple plot holes

The funeral was a mere footnote in an episode, where the main plot was a storyline that took the mick out of the fans, and the funeral scenes itself were less than five minutes long in total

Not to mention said funeral was leaked ahead of time with little to no effort it seems to stop this from happening

Created a very similar storyline in "Hotshots" and used this as a way to mock the fans

Only let Peter do the one exit interview and even that was just a two-minute pre-recorded interview

The Bobby Nash tribute video gets deleted off all of the show's social media

Oliver Stark also deletes his tribute to Peter Krause from IG

Peter Krause is referred to merely as "collateral damage" by Tim Minear

There's apparently been no wrap party for Peter, to say goodbye or pay tribute to him and his work on the show

Not to mention (again), no tribute to him on the show's social media

Pretty much have written him completely out of the show in terms of selling the Bathena house and burying him away from LA

No montage in the show to pay tribute to Bobby - even Michael Grant got a better send off and his actor was actively suing the show at the time of his departure

Allowed two cast members to leak a script onto their socials which teased Bobby returning, and for the actual scene to follow this script until literally the last bit, so no-one actually knows if this was fake or real [this is a belated edit]

Two days before the season finale, they use a poster with both Angela and Peter on it at Disney Upfront, therefore getting everyone's hopes up again that he's still on the show (& reminding everyone that he is literally one of the draws of this show lol) [another belated edit, thanks to @otherworldlydragon for pointing this out!]

Ryan Guzman only paying tribute to Pete/Bobby with a couple of memey stories [another edit, as pointed out by @captainbobbynash118]

It's all done so badly, that you can't help but think that maybe something has gone on behind the scenes - but Pete seems universally loved by his fellow cast-mates and the crew, and most of them have been just as distraught as the fans with him leaving (Kenny and Angela in particular).

Maybe it's just inexperience; you can tell that this show has never killed off a main character before with how much they've fumbled this.

The way Peter/Bobby has been treated is nothing short of insulting, disrespectful and baffling; he deserved better than this.

Peter - I’m so sorry this has happened and whilst I’m gutted to see you no longer as Cap, I can’t wait to see you truly thrive under a new project, with writers who will truly respect you.

[loveforlukeynewts]

I’ve been thinking more about how quiet Luke has seemingly been online, at least as far as what he shares with us. He also hasn’t been seen or photographed at any events in several months.

Then I remembered something he said in an interview he did with The Laterals last year and began to understand why…

I think my relationship with social media has changed. Dramatically, really, I'm in a place right now where I'm trying to find a balance by keeping the people and the things close to me and that I cherish as private as I can. And, also having something that's my own.

I love that the fans want to know so much about me, and I guess I'm still figuring out how to navigate it all. It's all fine, and it's all fun. I also love following the other actor's careers from our show on socials. Once they post about a new project they're working on, I know that this will be the next thing to binge-watch for the next three days.

Luke is enjoying his time out of the spotlight, protecting his peace, perhaps working on new projects that are not public knowledge yet.

When he’s ready to share some news, he will. As he always has. I hope the fandom drama hasn’t pushed him away for good.

Until then, all we can do is wish happiness for Luke and continue to share our love and support for him. And when he comes online to share with us again, he will surely feel how immense the support is for him.

Gifs by me, created from The Laterals IG video highlighting their Summer 2024 edition and Luke’s article.

[biancasaidstfu]

I think Nicola and Luke are trying to figure out their balance with continuing to promote Bridgerton but not overshadowing other things they are involved in. Right now for Luke he has to wait to share things about Vianna and White Mars and he's probably working on getting other jobs as Bridgerton is almost finished filming. Nicola as well, yes she has more projects outside of acting but they seem to be trying to keep their characters' interest alive while not going overboard to outshine Luke T and Yerin. Even if they don't directly share Bridgerton stuff they still like Netflix and other fan posts on IG and Nic on TT. So it's not like they totally disengaged. They also speak a lot about it when they're interviewed and to me that excitement they have when you hear them is just as good. So yes we have been getting content from them just not the way it was before and I don't think it will be fair for them to keep their usual way of interacting online when they're subjected to so much hate everyday. Taking off their comments won't help either because people will still tag them or invade their dm.

I'm also seeing discourse about her losing followers and her engagement metrics decreased compared to Luke. While that is true, one thing we have to remember is there are personal and professional reasons for the change, they are aware of it (it's their profiles and they manage it not a team) and they will figure out what they need to do for them. I don't think Nicola's decrease in following is that detrimental to her career even if fans are fed up of seeing her promote Jake and hang out with his crew. There is a shift but it's not like it's so far gone that they can't survive. We miss them but it was inevitable that their social media habits would have changed. It's not only fan hate that changed it but the nature of their rising profiles and whatever else they are associated with. With their upcoming projects they will continue to get more fans, their die hard base will remain but new fans can become die hards as well.

I agree with other anons, your blog is a good balance. I'm not a shipper but I like the different view points I see and I do see that Luke and Nicola really have a special bond that is lovely to when they're together. I think they agreed between themselves that they will keep quiet publicly with their interactions and that works for them. They need to protect their emotional and mental peace.

A propos of nothing

After another long-ish serene spell, lo and behold, the Fitness Harem seems to be back in business. Well, sort of, since the person *urv & the Other Troll already tried very hard to connect to S is not exactly a new apparition in our murky landscape.

*urv has been sitting on the narrative possibility embodied by the Czech young woman since OL's Season 7 wrapping party, when she was spotted nearby S (February 2023). Ever since, she's been on the OG Troll's radar, allegedly munro bagging with S & entourage in early August 2024. Or like now, vacaying in Jalisco (as per people who do follow her now private IG account, which I am not), while he was spotted in Sayulita, a resort town near Puerto Vallarta (same state of Jalisco, but hours of drive away).

The same old, same old question is asked frantically and answered either provocatively, by *urv who (as per the usual) hears voices, or teasingly, by the Other Troll, who keeps quiet but digs ahead.

This time, the Mexican fever was prompted by this recent IG follow one of my most trusted friends dropped in my DMs yesterday evening (sorry, querida, I couldn't care less at the time):

Who is Peri Fernandez? Well, he is the General Manager of a posh surfer hotel in Sayulita and Co-Founder of RAYCYA, a raicilla (agave spirit similar to tequila, typical for the Mexican state of Jalisco) start-up distillery, presented as a 'family project':

[Source: https://raycya.com/story]

Before that, Mr. Fernandez del Valle had some experience in the hospitality business. Please note, however, that in my very humble opinion and based on the very scarce data available, sometimes coincidences may be just that - coincidental. After all, Sayulita is not exactly Monte Carlo, is it?

[Source: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pedrofernandezdelvalle/details/experience/]

I know a connection to the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita has already been speculated upon, but not all Hualalais are created equal. There is zero evidence connecting Mr del Valle and possible prior SC vacations to Mexico, and we can only speculate. Something I personally strive to do as little as possible. In this case, I really believe they just met upon S's arrival at the hotel: it's not unheard of the management to step forward and greet a guest, especially in tropical destinations. Happened to me, by no means a VIP, at The Strand in Rangoon, as a routine check-in perk procedure, along with those perfumed towels and cocktail.

Let me just add that I will not discuss here any specifics related to the very young Czech young woman, as I truly believe there is nothing to it than another of those Joan of Arc moments *urv seems to love creating (hearing voices and all the tralala). I did my research and decided last minute against it. Not everything that was presented (or should I say, 'carefully calibrated'?) on a now private Instagram page is relevant for the traffic of our stage.

What I can say, however, without divulging more than Tasteless *urv did, is that her connection to OL is tenuous and opportunistic at best, since OL (unlike another Scottish TV series) is not even listed on her Imdb page, as it logically should. She is not included in the painstakingly detailed OL credits page on the same Imdb website, while I do know and can prove she was /still is friendly connected, including on social media, to a guy who was part of the Props technical crew for OL's Series Art Department (and who yes, is credited as such by Imdb), from 2016 to 2022. At face value, the woman is not even a professional, just a wannabe - she holds a MSc, for Christ's sake!

So perhaps she was that guy's +1 at the OL party? Or was she one of those extras who signed NDAs, just like everyone on or around the OL set and are not allowed to strike a conversation with the cast, as per this French extra proud recollections?

Let's have a look - translation follows:

[Source: https://outlanderfrance.wordpress.com/2022/04/18/sur-le-tournage-de-la-saison-6-figurante-a-wilmington/]

'One of our admins has been living in Scotland for more than five years and was lucky to be an extra for Outlander Season 6. Her episode was aired and she is now able to talk a bit about it.'

Confirmation of prior rumors & speculation that everyone on OL's set, from cast to crew to extras, had to sign an NDA. Also confirmation that above NDAs are most probably enforced at least until the episode airs (for a simple extra) or the end of the series (for ahem, the main cast) .

But there's more:

'The extras must not speak to the actors, unless one of them starts the conversation. In fact, to them, we are part of the set. They are very cool when the situation allows, but they are in their own bubble. If you go and look on Outlander's Instagram page, you'll find the photos taken by David Berry the day the printing office scene was shot. You'll see Sam behaving like a clown during one of our takes.'

All of the above will not calm down the kerfuffle in any of the warring factions of this fandom. Voices near waterfalls (WTF is this supposed to be, a poor remake of that Blue Lagoon movie?) are carefully included in Instagram stories and then posted successively by the two worst trolls, just to blow a bit of life on the embers of speculation.

Dinna fash, Sassenachs. I think the Czech Theory has the wrong end of the stick, in this case. And yes, this time I will post, because this, ladies, is Playbook 101.

And please, don't come to me begging for more details on the Czech young woman. It is not going to happen. We are shippers and we are better than cheap gossip. Thank you for your understanding. That's all. To be continued, however....

Happy Valentine's day you all!

I'm here to unpack my stuff. It's just 5% of everything I've done through past year but I had a tingling feeling that if not today then never. Today is anniversary of my hyperfixation (?) on Non-sentient Pomni from The amazing digital carnival AU created by @sm-baby. And I think that I kinda need to move on ahah *insert a Breakup song by Bo Burnham*. Many projects been started and never finished, some became local memes, 60% of all I can't even post here due to morality but ig it was really fun to headcanon on this truly amazing AU(s). Like Golden rings theory or Showdown stages. Okay back to the point of this post-

First and one of my favorite projects - A butterfly in the system comic.

It has a ton of concept arts and a sketchy story board. A very experimental piece but it was fun to work on, honestly. Maybe some time later I'll come back to it. Story was fully based on "what if non-sentient Pom was infected with virus? And since gal's only purpose is to entertain players would it really be so bad to give her a taste of collar-less freedom?".

Showdown era...

And by showdown era I mean.. All imaginable sorts of showdown.

Genderbend!Showdown? Been there done that

Hum!Showdown? Oh pleaseee

Suggestive!Showdown maybe? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That first one broke my SAI literally and I still kept going

I wrote fanfics, I theorized and headcanoned, I CREATED THE NAME OF THIS SHIP, I think I spent on Showdown at least 20% of a whole year. God damn it, I met my LOVE BECAUSE OF SHOWDOWN AND I'M GONNA SPEND THIS 14TH OF FEBRUARY WITH THEM LIKE IMAGINE HOW SURREAL THIS IS. Crack ships unite I guess lmao

A lot of work has been done, a lot of conclusions have been made and I'm truly happy on how everything turned out. And all this time I felt like I shall post only Showdown content in here since most of my followers know me for that, but now, after a year, I think it's time to try something new. Thank you all for being here but now the crown of Showdown CEO should be placed on a new head teehee

Local memes for everybody!!

Long ask anon with an even longer ask (I truly don’t know how to make long story short, but I can do the reverse), sorry. I am dividing this in two parts in case you decide to post this, so it would not be such an essay.

Part 1. Intro

Something has been eating up at me for a while but I only recently gathered the courage to do anything more than lurking. I actually am quite new to this, mostly because I was not allowing myself to even get into this in the first place. I am a very chill person when it comes to celebrities, I truly couldn’t care less about their lives, don’t even follow them on SM (L and N included) (not that I use SM all that much to begin with), I don’t know why but it always seems strange for me to be invested in strangers’ lives. I am not big of a fan girl either, especially media wise, I am much more interested in books and have no patience for tv shows most of the time. All of this to say, this is unusual behavior for me, watching all of the interviews with repetitive questions (those poor actors having to repeat themselves over and over again), paying attention to actors (beyond just knowing their names).

Polin is one of the rare ships that captured my interest, so I was very excited to learn about s3 being them, and when the wait for even the slightest info seem to be dragging on endlessly those interviews served as a great entertainment. Until they were not, until I started noticing things I wished not to. What started as “oh, they are so cute, and charming, and their friendship is so endearing!” very quickly turned into “babes, WHAT THE F*CK DID I JUST SAW/HEARD?” At one point I was honestly thinking “did I miss something? Are they together? What is going on?” So I checked, out of curiosity nothing more, but found nothing OFFICIAL suggesting that (as in N nor L never claimed anything). So I moved on, watched the show, other interviews (my brows still rising at some points), and then post Part 2 premiere I saw the picture on IG.

Everyone on internet seemed to be screaming about Ls’ GF, and being absolutely vile to him, which I found so disgusting I immediately checked out of the situation and turned my attention back on fiction again. It would be insincere of me not to admit to a certain disappoint on such a development, but that was as far as it would go. Though I can also truthfully say that that girl was not giving me the best impression based on the picture, something just seemed off. I only saw one at that point, where it appeared as if they were holding hands, why did it seem off? Because L looked displeased, almost angry, his eyes averted from cameras, while she was boldly looking right on them smiling as if she was walking her red carpet. As I said that was that, just continued watching the show, reading Polin fanfiction, hung out on a Polin reddit account and some Polin Tumblr blogs. And then I stumbled upon your blog (it was already past papgate 2.0), and now I’m on this bloody ship, and can not seem to force myself overboard, because those two are so soulmate coded (and yes, I realize how cheesy that sounds).

What has been bugging me, is that most, if not all, in this fandom seem to be of the opinion that L is the primary reason why N/L are yet to develop into lovers phase of this friends to lovers arc. From outright blaming him to passive aggressively calling him a dummy for not going after N. And I comprehend that most of it comes from the presence of a certain adjacent. But putting aside the OBVIOUS, LOGICAL point that we, non of us, are privy to their real lives, and bts truth, I still don’t see where that point of view comes from. I know that everyone says L is most like his character, so perhaps part of it is projection of that, but for me it always seems that L is actually a Penelope of this situation. To me, he himself gives it away.

Same Anon... same!

I have never thought L was the hang up in this situation. I think N has been burned in love, is pretty closed off with this stuff, and a TOTAL workaholic. L DEFINITELY fell first (no one can convince me otherwise). L also seems to kind of be a hopeless romantic and public lover boy, which I don't think N is use to. But I feel like that is why they kind of balance each other out ❤️️

blainesebastian HAHA take that haters!!

She lays her feet on his lap, head thrown back in exhaustion and finally content to have some relief. She’d been swelling all day and her skin felt tight.

“What bullshit,” Austin says, pausing his ministrations to glare at the TV. She wiggles her toes to get him to continue, sighing contently when he does so.

She thinks of the past year and the rumors that have swirled. At first it began small as fandom drama and as time went on media outlets began to pick up on her absence as well. She and Austin were aware that there’d be some push back but it never occurred to her the length people would go to proving they weren’t together and had both seemingly moved on.

Arizona had been her safe haven. She was thankful for Ashley being willing to watch Luci at any time, for Austin’s grandparents who cooked her favorite foods every single day, and his father and step-mom who bought her body pillows and slippers and anything she may need to feel better.

She thinks of Austin and what he must have had to face bouncing back and forth between Los Angeles and New York and Arizona to keep her happy and relaxed. She hadn’t faced the paparazzi or the fans but he had multiple times and he remained patient and understanding of her needing to grow their baby away from the public eye.

Peeking an eye open, she finds him still glaring at the TV. She’s unsure why they’re even watching but she’s too lazy to reach for the control. He’s got on his grey sweatpants, soft against the skin of her legs, and white T-Shirt with his thin gold chain. She smiles, feeling love and gratitude and disbelief swell in her chest that this was her life, this wonderful man was her husband, and they were going to welcome another baby together.

It may not have been planned but it was a happy occasion all the same.

She sits up, planting a big kiss against his cheek. Austin turns, eyes crinkled with his smile.

“What was that for?” He plants his own kiss on her forehead.

She shrugs, “Just felt like it.” Her eyes are welling with tears and she’s sure if she begins expressing her gratitude to him the waterworks would fall. She hopes he knows though, hopes he can feel it radiating off her.

She thinks he must, because he pulls her in closer with an arm around her shoulder, tucking her face into his neck. She presses another kiss to his collarbone as he places his other hand against her belly. Immediately there’s a kick.

She grunts. “He always knows when it’s you.” When Austin had to travel it’s like their baby boy knew and he wasn’t happy, he’d begin spinning and fluttering in what she assumed was his version of a tantrum.

“Mom-eeee.” Luci joins them, pointing to the TV where her face is gracing them. She grimaces at the photo chosen and Austin laughs, kissing her hair. “Say hi to brother.” Luci falls to her mom’s lap to press a kiss on the belly, right above Austin’s hand, and begins mumbling secrets. She feels more fluttering in her belly and by Austin’s smile she’s sure he felt it too.

“I love you.” She says, peering up to him. He hums, leaning down to steal a kiss.

[ENG translation] An interview with Joker Out at Sziget

An exclusive conversation with Joker Out from Budapest, where they marked one of the biggest milestones of their career so far!

Article written by Ajda Gregorc, published on the 9th of August 2024 on the ELLE Slovenia website. Translation by @kurooscoffee, @chaosofsmarty and a member of JokerOutSubs, English proofreading by IG GBoleyn123.

You can also listen to an audio recording of this translation, read by IG GBoleyn123:

(or find it on our Spotify)

Source: Personal archive

It's no secret that ELLE has been cheering for our most successful band of all time from the front row. Not only are Joker Out the recipients of the first Elle Style Award in the Music category, we always love to catch up with them and chat about their upcoming projects. It's especially nice to see them on foreign ground. We met up with the guys in the Hungarian capital just before one of their bigger performances as part of their summer festival tour – they took over the main stage of the legendary Sziget festival! Judging by the aforementioned (and in this case, also literal) front row, we can definitely say they conquered it.

With it, they have symbolically reached one of the major, clearly defined goals they set at the beginning of their journey. At that time, they stated, "You know you've made it when you perform on the main stage of this legendary European festival." The energy of the gathered crowd at this performance definitely confirmed it, but more on that later.

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

When asked whether this goal still seems as formidable after they have already reached so many of their set peaks (just this year they successfully completed a European tour, sold out a vinyl edition from the sold-out Arena Stožice in less than half a day, signed a contract with the Wasserman Agency shortly before that, and received a gold record in Finland for their single Carpe Diem, which was also the most-played domestic song last year), the band's frontman, Bojan Cvjetićanin, honestly responds that it doesn't really seem that way anymore.

Festival experiences, with all their systems and mechanisms, are similar to each other regardless of whether it's a slightly larger or smaller stage, and the guys already know what to expect. "You do lose a bit of that, but here today, for example, the organisational aspect is at the highest level." Guitarist Kris Guštin also confirms a slight loss of the mystique, while the band's other guitarist, Jan Peteh, offers a fitting metaphor in his characteristic style. "I see it as going up a hill on a road that has a bit of an incline, and you know you're going up, but the steps to the top are more gradual."

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

Bojan agrees. He feels that it's a point where you're still far from the peak, but already have a beautiful view ahead that you're following, although the full view only unfolds at the end. Sziget is definitely one of the highlights of their festival season when it comes to personal satisfaction, but for the crowning moment of this festival season, Kris would choose the main stage at Exit festival, while Bojan also highlighted the Finnish Ruisrock festival.

Their tour across European festivals is therefore a connecting point between the band and their existing fans, as well as potential new audiences. At festivals where they weren't the most well-visited performers, the guys noticed that many of the attendees were new. "You can see it mainly in the faces and reactions," Bojan explains. They're very pleased that the response has always been positive so far and that by the end of their concert, there were more people present than at the beginning.

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

When a concert is not organised by them, it takes away a good amount of pressure. Over the past year, they carried out a lot of them on their own, especially abroad, which was slightly scary for them, even though everything went smoothly. Fortunately, festivals are primarily defined by the summer, which is accompanied by a good mood and visitors in high spirits, and that creates a good atmosphere. "There are a lot of performers in one place, a lot of a certain type of energy gets accumulated, and everyone comes to have a good time," adds Cvjetićanin.

Jan adds that the weather has cleared up during our chat (before that, the festival area was hit by light showers) and it's true, for their performance at 17:30, the sky actually cleared up so much that people were retreating to the shady side of the stage while dancing to their hits.

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

International festivals, therefore, no longer fall entirely under the "new" category for the Jokers. They've come to feel at home at a number of stages already, so they know how to handle things, both from a technical standpoint and in terms of what to expect from the atmosphere. Finland, with its warm reaction, provided a huge surprise in that regard, and therefore they count their performance there as one of those magical moments that tip the scales into the aforementioned category and go into the "forever" archive.

The third album is around the corner

After constantly working on the third album in London, which will be released in the autumn, the likeable musicians needed a bit of a break from it. That has already ended, however, as they've been in the studio almost every day, which also proves that they're excellent at juggling several obligations at the same time. Considering that the first singles, 'Everybody's Waiting' and 'Šta bih ja', are highly contrasting, I ask them whether this album will offer the most contradictions so far as part of the "intense blend of emotions which reflects the quick turnaround of their lives". That is how they described it recently.

In Bojan's opinion, this is by far their most contrasting album. "Especially the most recent products, which we still have to finish, will be like that." Kris adds that the arrangements might be more contrasting than the sound itself.

"It's still us playing and singing," Bojan laughs. "Exactly, per partes¹, some parts are compatible, and then you have one total 'tourist', and then another one." Jan stops the debate with a powerful statement that there will be more variations on this album than most performers have in their entire careers. Let's wait and be surprised.

¹ 'per partes' is a Latin expression that means "by parts"; it is used in mathematics for the process of integration by parts

It's not only their vision that goes into creating the new album, they also let their fans in on it. For 'Šta bih ja', it was actually the audience's passionate reaction that showed them that it would be their next single.

It is a simple communication style, but one that the band reads well and then translates into its products. By doing so, they typically follow the flow organically, not going against it (true fans will understand this extremely corny joke), always driven by a well-thought-out strategy. Sometimes even at the initiative of Kiki the roadie, who unintentionally hung the lyrics of a new single facing the audience instead of the band, which turned it into a viral hit. "He's a marketing genius," the boys laugh, and tell ELLE that he's definitely receiving special treatment now.

Less than an hour later ...

Shortly after our conversation, we join the large crowd right in front of the famous Hungarian stage and, as the show unfolds, marvel at the visual production, specially upgraded for the festival season under the baton of Studio 7, with whom the Jokers have formed an unstoppable partnership since their beginnings.

The waving Slovenian flags beautifully complement the lace on the band members' clothing, their trademark and a tribute to the culture of their homeland, signed by Karlo Kirri (the Jokers have been collaborating with him regularly for the past year).

Unfortunately, the boys couldn't exchange the "performer" wristband for the "visitor who is just having fun" one, as a concert in Romania already awaits them this Sunday. Jan tested the field the night before, while the rest of them are still waiting for that experience somewhere in the future. Now with a very special aftertaste.

P.S. The news of the upcoming album was followed by the promise that Slovenians will be among the first to hear it live. In the lively backstage area, where the famous singer Halsey was casually strolling just an hour later, I'm told that this will be very soon after the album's release and that "they're going to go for a slightly smaller thing than they could have gone for," adding that it will be nostalgic for them.

What better way to end the conversation, and thus the article, than at this point?

Guys, thank you, and good luck!

Okay, this is getting funny.

The award acceptance clip could've been filmed a week ago when she let them know she couldn't make it.

Last night at the restaurant could literally be 2 days ago, with the time differences.

She is confirmed for the award show in Ireland on Friday. So my guess is she left the next morning and is now there.

Lukes hair at the Boss One Launch was just a little too short for Colin. Unless they are doing another horrific wigg, my guess again is that he and Nic had another long break between filming. It's about three to four weeks to get to Colin's hair. Nic probably filmed the Neutragena Advert (or not, maybe something else), met with people in LA for a new project, and singing lessons for what I have been asking.

I don't think she is going to the SAG awards. I saw one of the other actresses mention that she is going to the SAG awards more than a week ago. She is always in the ball scenes. I think she and some of the less famous ensemble are going to represent Bridgerton. I love Nic, and she definitely deserves to win, but I don't think she is winning this one. Hollywood doesn't normally award anything that celebrates projects that focus on the female gaze. They normally just hate on it.

Jake has been editing his tags on IG. It is worth a looksy for those still believing he is dating Nic. Also, he didn't thank her. If it was to make an official announcement, I am looking at you: People, enews, and any other celebrity gossip mag. Would a repost story on his IG thanking his beloved not be the move? They are literally grasping at straws. They are desperate to post anything about Nic for the clicks.

Also, her liking that Boss clip could be to generate more traffic to highlight Luke. She is just a bestie (in love with) supporting a friend (lover) in his ambition to become a Boss ambassador (not sure what one would call it.

The horrific wedding porn attire that poor little 🐜 was promoting is just sad.

No, I am not dehumanising her. I am calling her an 🐜so that only the people in the know know who I am talking about. I am not going to push anyone to her IG or page or garner any attention for her. Luke might be trying to elevate her status to more than an out of work dancer/f grade model. But I ain't following for it.

What does it say about Luke for occasionally hooking up with her. That he doesn't look down on her, wants to support his friends, and help them succeed. He is a sweetie pie. In love with his gorgeous costar, but something is standing in their way to be together.

marketing anon again 🤭💗

this whole situation should make 💚 realize that she’ll be jude’s human shield for the rest of their relationship. when her and jude break up (not even being a hater, they will break up bc their relationship is ran by the opinions of others), her reputation will be finished. footybros will continue to use her as dirt on jude and that will become what she’s known for. when she gets with another athlete, these tweets and memes will follow her. it wasn’t bad when she was with nfl/nba players bc it’s a small group of fans keeping up with her past, compared to fans of biggest sport in the world, at the biggest club in the world, with one of the biggest new faces of the sport … it can’t be swept under the rug like before.

people can scream “jude fan girls need to chill” under her tiktok post all they want but we all know it was the men. the men aren’t going to show sympathy and stop the trolling and the name calling. now that her dirty laundry has been aired out and amplified, the hate will transfer to what ever other athlete she goes to next bc whether ppl want to admit it, sports are dominated by male fans!!! the same trolling footybros did, the basketball, hockey, and baseball fans will carry on bc it’s the same demographic. and it’s tied to her name now.

in all honesty 💚 needs to do what she can to try to salvage her image. she can’t just be silent bc being silent sheds more light on the situation. imagine if she continued posting regularly after all of that hate occurred, ppl would still troll but it wouldn’t be at the forefront of the general public’s mind. she could’ve posted less ig baddie content, but more personality. we don’t know the 💚, outside of who she dates so showcase that. she never talks so it’s easy to make her a blank canvas to project hate and a bad image onto.

she posted an explanation on an app that mostly fangirls are on and don’t get half as much attention as she did on the large footybro insta and twitter accounts. in the general public’s mind, she’s still all those things that the footybros said. when she comes out of hiding, those tweets are going to be fresh on their mind. she didn’t give anyone anything else to associate with. (again she did make the tiktok but sympathy and football fans don’t go together. and it didn’t get the same reach, none of the footy accounts posted her tiktok, only the wag accounts but women are no where near the majority). so now that the only thing ppl can associate with 💚 is her past, ppl are going to continue to bring all of that up again.

she needs to think of her future beyond jude and try to clean up and pivot for that point in time bc he’s not going to defend her anytime soon, and defending her wouldn’t do much. it’s past that point. she needs to come up with something else and fast. realistically she should’ve done it while or quickly after all the hate was happening to overshadow everything. it’s a bit late now, but better late than never 🤷🏾‍♀️

her video indicated she has no interest in being a influencer and that she only views socials as a fun thing which i lowkey think was a bit silly to say cause this is the chance to get a bag but whatever

also men are dumb they would take her open arms 😭😭

she definitely went about it all wrong though lol
