I don’t know how to tell you this but it’s called being attracted to one another 🙂‍↕️

Why it’s hilario-us

Yes Lukey, we were rooting for Polin, but we were rooting for Lukola so much more. And yes, we heard you say ‚us‘. Ooops…

Your guilty face was actually more obvious then your mishap.

I’m still giggling every time I see this. 😆

Stay strong! Peace✌��

Happy “His/Her personal space is my personal space” Day.

One year ago. They were insane for this and this was on a LIVE broadcast! 🔥🤭

Nicola’s latest Instagram post definitely feels like a subtle nod to the fandom, showing us a different side of her—one that’s more reflective and authentic. The grid photo, featuring four polaroid shots from her tiny London flat, paired with the caption “Pink champagne in my old flat, which was tiny, but great,” has all the vibes of someone acknowledging how far they've come. It’s a playful reminder of her earlier, carefree days, yet it also feels like she’s letting us in on a bit of her journey. It’s the kind of post that feels like a little gift to those of us who remember her more spontaneous, whimsical self.

The timing is interesting, too. Nicola’s IG has become much more professional over the past few months, with her recent posts focusing primarily on her work with brands like Neutrogena and Olaplex. Fans, especially within Lukola circles, have been commenting that they miss seeing the more personal, authentic Nicola. This post seems like a response to that feedback—a way to remind us that, yes, she’s still that same person we’ve followed for years, even though her life has changed. It’s also a bit of a reminder that the woman we see now, working hard and looking more polished, has worked through a lot to get where she is.

What stands out, though, is the subtle connection to her past and how she might be using this to bridge the gap between who she was and who she is now. We know she’s got a lot on her plate right now, and if she can’t share her current private life (Luke and BN), then sharing a piece of her past, especially in a way that feels celebratory, is the next best thing. It’s a way to stay connected with us while staying private—and there’s no doubt she’s giving us a glimpse into her growth, her hard work, and how she hasn’t lost sight of the carefree, authentic side of herself that we first came to love.

Lukola fandom is making me sad.

I still believe in Nicola and Luke. I always have. I’ve seen the connection. I’ve felt the chemistry. And I’ve held onto that belief because it felt real and full of possibility. But lately, being part of this fandom has felt less like community and more like watching people turn on the very person we claimed to love most.

Nicola gave everything during the season. She promoted the show relentlessly. She did the interviews, the events, the content, all with grace and humor. She gave more than she needed to. Now that she’s taken a step back, now that she’s protecting her peace, people are acting like she owes us something. Like she’s doing something wrong.

And what hurts the most is that some of the creators I used to admire — people who were loud about their love for Lukola — are now the ones leading the charge in tearing her down. They’re the ones fueling the idea that she’s ungrateful, that she’s cold, that she's doing something wrong. It’s heartbreaking. I followed these blogs because I thought they loved Lukola. Now it feels like they only loved them when they fit the story they wanted.

Meanwhile, the Jakolas — the ones we’ve spent so much time criticizing — are showing her more kindness and more respect than we are. They aren’t demanding posts or proof. I don't see them filling their blogs with criticisms of her. While I believe they haven't come to the correct conclusion, I have to admit that they are looking much more supportive than us lately.

I still believe in Nicola and Luke. I do. But if being a Lukola means turning on Nicola the second she chooses herself, I don’t want to be part of that. If she decides to leave the show, if she pulls back even further, I won’t blame her. She deserves better than the way some of us have treated her.

We need to take a long look at how we show love, because right now it doesn’t look like love at all. It looks like entitlement. And she deserves so much more than that.

The joy of dancing with the person you love is a beautiful thing.

I have always loved this scene on Gilmore Girls. Lauren Graham did an excellent job at showing that Lorelai was fully in the moment & was SO happy to be dancing with Luke.

Our Luke was living his dream with Nicola by this time in filming S3. I believe his love was coming through/showing a lot since he is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve.

🎵 "It's so sweet dancin' with the one you love" indeed.

ETA: I also love that Luke is pressing Nicola into his chest so much with the hand that is on her back. He really wants to get a close as humanly possible.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m still stuck on the fact that when this photo came out I was flabbergasted. This photo revealed the carriage was in fact NOT sound proof and was in fact an open stage where you would be able to hear the director talking, let alone yelling 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just fear that we moved on too quickly from this 🙂‍↕️

Also this girlie has seen (and heard😏) some things 🤭

Why we won’t give up

It felt quite depressing in the Lukola fandom for the last couple of weeks. We definitely are all worn out by the games and the silence. We all hoped for a launch early this year, but everything seems so strange, forced and heavy. We saw a glimpse of lightheartedness when N and L met at the SAGs, but since then it’s hide and seek. 

I understand that they needed a strategy to get out of this craziness. In times like these, we have to remind ourselves, that for all of us this is just a story, but for N and L it’s their lives and careers. So whatever caused these circumstances, this is probably the best way to get out of this mess with little damage as possible.

Nobody forces us to participate. Imagine how difficult it would be if you are in the spotlight, not only getting criticized for the smallest things, but also get real hate just for living your life. They are not hurting anybody directly. Even if we feel like they have let down the fans. I believe they would happily open up about their love story, if it was possible. No matter why they do what they do, we are adults and should be able to deal with our frustration. It is definitely not easy, but we should try our best. This little corner of the internet should be a safe space to speak our minds freely. Of course we can have different opinions and should be able to share with the group. Everyone probably feels a little different about everything. Point is, we won’t change the situation by identifying a culprit. It’s more or less a chain of unfortunate circumstances and I think what N and L have to deal with is far worse than us not getting the insight we want. Don’t get me wrong, I hate this situation as much as you probably do and I hope every day is the last day of our agony. No matter what, one day we will get the ultimate confirmation. We saw what we saw and that is exactly why we won’t give up on Lukola!

Stay strong! Peace✌🏻
