I don’t have Twitter - is there drama in the Rob employee circle 😳

It's so convoluted at this point but in short, Rob hired this woman Brittani to handle his social media/general PR as part of his company, More Better, back in November of 2023, and in September she revealed she was no longer with him. Since then, she's been tweeting (and then deleting) a lot of stuff shading him.

Honestly a lot of her anger seemed in good faith: he's a rich cishet white guy and this isn't a TV set (which afaik people have only ever had good things to say about Rob's sets), it's an "actual" business, and given Rob's general PR (and the fact that no one likes Adim or cares about More Better), it was definitely a contentious job where I'm sure Rob felt like he could just shut down anything she said or did that he didn't 100% agree with.

The thing is, after 2 months, she is continuing to tweet (and delete) random vagues about Rob's character and morals, but has not actually said anything about what happened to her/with him (despite continually saying she is going to talk about it). Instead, she's just engaging with shitposts from actual children on Sunnytwit

So now Bryan, the VP of More Better (and RCG's former assistant, turned creative executive, on Sunny (and my oomf)) is posting gifs kind of mocking her tweets about Rob and moving on from him...

It's all very high school drama, honestly, and both of these people graduated college in the 00s so it's just lowkey funny... (And Rob still follows Brittani ,but I'm gonna say he's hopefully too busy making us good Mac content to give a fuck about all this)

Dont make their relationship an addiction metaphor whatttt

Tristan how is THAT what you got from cap’s brother. I was like oooh tell that speech to Max again but frame it as his wanting the perfect by the books relationship with a wife and kids instead of enjoying the life he has. But nooo dating boys and girls is the same as drugs i guess jfc

Happy Gay Week to all who celebrate

[lgbtqforeverything]

oh my god. why are the two guys who already had a threesome with each other and have been at the gay poker games each going back into the closet.

[ramicat]

they WHAT

[skarkkk]

I don't know how to start with Doctor Odyssey.

First,

He killed himself. He killed himself because he didn't want to live with himself anymore, with his addiction, with his marriage. He killed himself because he couldn't stand the idea of this fake perfect relationship anymore and how his fiancée and her mother knew he was struggling and didn't say anything and how this will destroy them and how this relationship that his fiancée wanted to be perfect was literally their downfall. His best friend sleeping with her, him crying over the news, Erik killing himself because that's what suicidal people do when they can't think of another option or ask for help. I really cried when Max comforted Erik and how the actor acted that way and it was relatable, feeling lost. Even though I thought at first that it was because of repressed homosexuality when he married a woman, even him taking off his shoes, standing on the railing of the cruiser and jumping because it was his way of freeing himself from the pain.

Second,

The threesome. I've been talking about their threesome vibes all along here and it happened. Stupid as a wish list and everyone wanting a threesome and my thoughts were "you all want it, do it!" and then Avery offered and they actually did it. When Tristan went in to kiss her and she grabbed his hair, can we agree that this man is submissive? Can we see how the desire was written all over Max's face watching them make out? And then he joined in, and Avery in the middle and oh my god I needed more. Of Max with Tristan, because if this is going to be more than sex I need it to be a threesome where they both love and touch each other, regardless. According to the preview for the next episode, it's going to happen again, during "gay week" and if they don't take the chance to do a scene with Max and Tristan, or one focusing on Tristan as I said before in the style of a man hitting on him and Avery and Max being jealous and that triggering another night. I need it to start with messy and sentimental sex and for them to end up together without problems, she as a doctor, Max as he wishes and Tristan as he wishes. I don't know if ABC will miss the opportunity to really do polyamorous representation or not, but I beg them to at least try.

Third,

A gay week? For fuck's sake, I'm gonna love that. At least one pan person, please, but focusing on that, someone really explores the depths of sexuality in this episode and something like acceptance, and mentions homophobia and how it all leads to Tristan and Max getting together too because there's no other line of thinking. I want it to not just be another comedy episode or one with gay people, but one that's really about us, about queers and has depth and is the perfect episode for an AIDs case and angst. I want them to really take advantage of what this episode can bring to the plot.

Fourth,

We get past Avery and Max so where is Tristan? And what happened to Vivian?

Fifth,

There's not much else to say, in my opinion, so there's an appreciation for the cruise ship staff. Rosie, the co-captain whose name I still don't know, the Captain. They're like family. And speaking of the cruise ship staff and remembering gay week, I heard right when the blond guy from Flash said he was bi, right? That could very well be used as well.

THERES A GAY THROUPLE ON GAY WEEK? PARALLELS!!!!

[nullio]

Don't get me wrong, I loved this episode but I was pretty disappointed that Gay Week (seemed to have) only included the same flavor of white Instagram twink with, Marsha excluded.

Like 🫠 there's so much more acronym you can include here

[classycoffeecat]
