#maybe some day i will move to ny or la

GOD seeing a lighting design studio in new York with a job posting I could ALMOST qualify for... but in new york....

[jeonscatalyst]

Jikook deciding together, what to eat, when to eat, when to sleep, when to diet, what clothes to buy and match. Making life decisions together, enlisting together, even deciding to spend couple days together.

I can't get over how they move like a couple, even if they're possibly only friends. They're so in tune & move together as one. I can see why members always speak about them as a package deal or ask if they're dating or a couple. They clearly see it too. And the way they've always been consistent with their domestic nighttime routines, we seen for years. We saw it in ITS 2 when they decided to call it a night together and Jk asked Jimin if he wanted Ramen and Jimin said no lets sleep now. In NY going to bed together at the same time. In CT, brushing their teeth together & getting ready for bed and going to bed again around the same time & waking up and snuggling together complete with morning booty slaps and moans. In Jeju, both washing up at the same time, with Jimin even hovering by JK doing his nightly skin care routine, same as he did in CT. Deciding when they are gonna have "Ramen" kinda hard when you have a guest crashing in your room, then deciding together not to have Ramen and just winding down together, until Jk says he's tied and says come on lets go to bed and they run and jump in the same bed together & snuggle a little bit. We even see them brushing their teeth together again in Japan in matching couple PJ's. The way JK even added them waking up together and starting their morning routine together in couple JK's, in the Life Goes On video, which also parallels Troye Sivan's opening shot of his There For You music video, which is the song JK used for GCF Tokyo. I'm in awe of Jikook. Always on the same page. Its so darn cute & so domestic.

If not couple, why so couple coded Jikook? If not couple, maybe you should become one, since you already act like one. ;)

Yep you said it all anon. If jikook are not a couple they might aswell become one because they already act like one and have been behaving like one for over 10 years.

I still remember when they were in Vegas for PTD and jikook were dieting together and taking boxing lessons together from Tommy Sseam. Jk got into the room found out Jimin had eaten and called his a traitor lol. There were always some little things they did or said that gave us an idea of how they spent their time off camera. Even back in 2021 when they were in LA for PTD, we had them coming back from concerts together, eating together, working out together, even talking about not showering yet, I mean what do yoonminers and taekookers think when they see stuff like that? They think that all these years Jimin and Jungkook just abandoned Tae and yoongi and did everything together including eating, sleeping, working out etc and only waited for the solo era to finally spend some time with their boyfriends Tae and Yoongi even though all these years Taegi have been spending nights alone, showering alone, eating alone, working out alone and barely spending any alone time with Jikook because those two were literally always together? Jimin and Jungkook are some terrible partners then.

I'm trying to think when was the moment the public turned on Harry. I think maybe with the American military veterans community, it was when Harry used a military graveyard in LA as a photo op for Remembrance Day in 2020 because the following year, twitter photos at the Intrepid Dinner show angry US veterans being restrained from confronting Harry. For most others, it probably varied until the fake New York City car chase in May 2023. That's when many realized Harry (plus Meghan) was full of BS.

Hi Nonny,

I think that each person has their own point of realisation. Some of them cluster around Meghan as a girlfriend and the 'love shield' statement, some around the engagement interview and photos, some around the wedding, some around her appearance with Her Late Majesty, and it goes on until the tide of public opinion has turned. I think that Harry and Meghan using the military graveyard for a photo op and walking over the graves was a big turning point for many people, as was Meghan's behaviour at Uvalde, and the NY Car Chase - there are so many points that it is hard to remember them all. The tide does seem to have turned in America, as apparently the general public is indifferent to the pair and the media is moving from praise to criticism.

If you had to, say, come up with adaptations of each of your characters where they're in their mid-to-late-twenties and living in or near an offbeat, woodsy little college town outside of Seattle with a bustling alternative art scene and a lot of options for them to live in anything from luxury homes to super affordable apartments, how would you picture each of them existing? Would Catherine still be in her parents' home, watching her siblings? Would Ruby settle down there for a live among more down-to-earth and eccentric party people instead of the LA elite, and would her family approve of her being stationed somewhere besides NY and LA? Would Serena have any interest in investigating the weird cult-like degenerate activity going on in the local underground metal scene? Would Constance have fled there from the rural south, or is her home just a drive away in rural Washington? 👀 Feel free to go on forever if you want to describe their living arrangements and if they grew up there or moved there or what their day-to-day lives are like or where they work and if they went to that nearby Arts/STEM hybrid university that's maybe named Mt. Rainier. :-)

This ended up longer than I anticipated. I'm not putting it under a read more >:-)

Ruby, after years of intensive therapy, finally realised that nothing good was coming from living so close to her family. It was dysfunctional at best, and toxic at worst, and the main thing was she didn’t even like them. There was nothing for her in LA, and she put some of her worst tendencies down to the crippling boredom and the easy access(they’re a coping mechanism, but she hasn’t done enough therapy or honest reflection to realise that). So, what dies she do? She calls up her old friend Max, wanting to know what she’s up to. Because Max can do no wrong, in Ruby’s eyes. When she mentions the town outside of Seattle, she’s convinced it will fix all her problems. Of course, in moving away, she found the one place where her mothers more out there movies were discussed. Even in death, she will never be able to escape Grace Kane’s presence. She still drinks, but not as heavily. Instead of getting black out drunk multiple times a week, she’s a low level of tipsy all the time. Ruby tells herself that it’s fine. She’s better than she was in her wild party days, so that means she can continue. She found a studio apartment, though, with big windows and a little balcony and she picks up a paint set and canvas one day, because she’s actually pretty good. And if she lives within walking distance of Max, one of the few people that she loves to the point of wanting to be better, well… That’s just a coincidence. She doesn’t work, because she doesn’t need to, but everything’s paid for. Her parents are just happy that she’s not being a public fuck up anymore.

Constance goes to college. She’s the first in her family to even apply, pushed by the guidance councillor who thinks it would be a good idea for her to get away from the small town, where she’ll always be known as the girl who came back. Her parents hate it, from the first minute she broaches the subject. They lost her once, and her moving to Seattle feels like they’re losing her again. It’s so far away, and she’s so… Delicate is the word they use. Weak is the word she hears. They’re scared college is going to change her into someone they don’t recognise, even further from the girl she’d once been. They insist she finds a church to attend while she’s there. She tried the closest baptist church, but it didn’t feel right, so she stopped, but didn’t tell them. The verses aren’t the same without the oppressive heat and the fear of God. She graduates, but her social work degree sits on a shelf, unused. She considers going back, but she thinks she’s just punishing herself. So, she stays. In her shit box apartment where the walls are paper thin and the hallway looks like something out of one of the horror movies her roommate made her watch. She prays, every night, holding the little gold cross in her palms so tight it makes indents in her skin. She prays for the nightmares to stop, for her life to feel like hers, for world peace. She prays to a God she’s not convinced of anymore. She works in a bookstore, stocking the shelves in the relative silence and reading when she’s done. She comes home smelling like ink and paper, arms aching. 

Catherine never gets away from her parents. She goes to Mt Rainier, studying marketing, but she’s expected home on time, to take Oscar and Kennedy to piano lessons and gymnastics and Tae Kwon Do, to cook dinner and help with homework. She’s expected to be there for recitals and competitions,  because she can’t rely on either of her parents to remember. So, she does. She lives in an apartment with two roommates, and makes the ninety minute drive multiple times a week, and it’s like she never left at all. Sometimes, she thinks her parents don’t even notice that she’s gone. Her roommates don’t either. No one really notices her anymore, as she floats from place to place. She wonders how long it would take for someone to realise she was missing. If she just… Kept driving. Would anyone file a report? Would they care enough? Or would they just go on and keep living, filling the gap she left. She thought about that more often than she really should. What was stopping her, really? She could leave. She was an adult, she could do whatever she wanted. She could tell her parents to go fuck themselves and actually take care of their children for once. She could miss a pick up, and go to the tennis courts instead. It had been far too long since she’d practiced something solely for herself. Her racket sits in the back of her closet, taunting her. And then, because she’s a glutton for pain, she does it. She does one thing for herself. She changes majors, effectively starting from scratch, even though it took her six years to almost complete her four year degree. It doesn’t feel like enough rebellion. She wants to scream.

Serena’s got a pretty cushy job at a small newspaper-slash-blog. Her dad knew a guy, and it was the best offer she was going to get with her mediocre grades, so she packed her bags and moved to Seattle to chase her dreams. He pays her rent in a little apartment, close to the office, and she brought her little car, and her life stays little. She found all the best coffee shops in the first week, and calls home every night. At first, she stays in her comfort zone, writing about things around her. The car crash down the street, the local University’s latest politically incorrect fuck up and their even worse attempt at trying to fix it. Then, one night, looking for something to do, she stumbles into a bar. It’s dark, and every surface is sticky, and she tries so, so hard to keep an open mind. The music, if you can even call it that, sounds like chaos, and anger, and other things she can’t quite explain. She tries to blend in with the walls, just to watch, because it’s fascinating. She watches in the same way she watches documentaries, the different cultures that seem so strange. She starts picking up on the subtle differences, the subcultures within the bar. People who don’t interact, who barely look at each other, and run in their own circles. The ones that clash, in words or actions, over the smallest slights. She itches to start taking notes, her thumbs flying over the screen of her phone as she desperately tries to remember it all, but eventually the heavy-pour drinks start to get to her. She strikes up a conversation with a guy sat next to her, all dark clothes and dark eyes and before she knows it, she’s pulling him back to her apartment, all thoughts of stories disappearing. He’s gone, in the morning, but she finds one of his rings in her sheets, the next time she crawls into bed. It’s a heavy thing, solid, and almost reminds her of a gargoyle. She opens the half written note. She’s writing because it’s interesting, she tells herself. Not because she wants to see him again.

BONUS:

Andrea is an outlier. She has been all her life. She’s closer to the cryptids she studies relentlessly than other human beings. She works in a coffee shop during the day, living in the shitty apartment above it, and every night she spends hours pouring over her research. She saves every dime to pay for her “research expeditions” where she travels across the country to some Bigfoot sighting, or haunted house, or site of some horrible disaster. She’s been to Silver Bridge, she’s been to Area 51, she’s hiked every forest with a Bigfoot sighting. She doesn’t really do anything else. Her blog has a moderate but fanatical following, half watching the madness for entertainment, half believers who feed into it. She runs purely off coffee and red bull and menthols and cheap food. She once sat for thirteen hours writing a blog post, not once moving from her desk. Her weird kid vibe has only gotten stronger as she’s grown, an uncanny valley of a human being who stares just a little too long without blinking. Her parents barely know her, choosing to put more energy into her more normal siblings. She returns for Thanksgiving, every year a little bit less Andrea.

So, in this, Serena’s the oldest in her late twenties. Catherine and Ruby both sit comfortably in 24-26. Constance would be the youngest at 23, a year out of college. Most of them stay pretty true to their vague character arcs, where Connie had always had doubts, Ruby was always going to try to get better, Serena was always going to realise she was sheltered, and Catherine was always meant to scream.

i walked into solitary, the cushion room — slipped a black str8 jacket from sean’s closet on and asked him to fasten me up, then he left and i sat down, i would never see him again, he doesn’t turn back till his tires are spent, i sat down in the back corner of the room, and asked someone anyone to turn up the frequency of the silence to brain splitting levels, and then i watched goo leak from some orifice and drip onto the bridge of my nose and i just stayed there watching my brain and intuition drip out like a leaky faucet for maybe two weeks and now i’m outside and have no idea why the white stucco on the ceiling is sucking into itself after just one newport i take outside, i haven’t touched a newport since i was trying to keep up with r on set four years ago , where i experienced nicotine poisoning for the first time but he did hold me on the way back to soho after we wrapped, which i might’ve appreciated had i not smoked a pack in 90 minutes, it was an incapacitated REM level L, and i don’t smoke them unless i miss feeling so weak, unless i wanna feel like that baby again, but no i dont smoke them i dont have the heart for them, i just found one smashed in the bottom of my purse i left at my parents seven months ago, i allowed myself the indulgence. a dear friend on the other end of the phone call just said grazie mille to the most toad like fantasia italian accent i think she’s in puglia and the exhibitor of the accent had handed her a midnight cigarette as she informed me she’s been crying in the shower and laughing by the time she dries off every day she’s been in puglia, she stumbled upon a man in a car getting his dick sucked by a woman in his car, in front of the church, which she was sitting in front of, but at some point i believe she got up and started pacing around the cobblestone, as i was, in my own non cobblestone la alleyway, while we were talking and processing did u process it “” or at least i like to think of her doing so, us walking the same, but maybe if i were in puglia and not southern california i’d be looking straight and up and around, not so much ahead and down. imiss her and things, it’s been hard to hug my mom, my sister, i didn’t intend to be here right now, but i am here right now, i’ll try to hug my sister tonight and my mom tomorrow. i know i’ll miss the chance when i miss the chance and leave back to ny, i wish i didn’t feel a tinge of agony hugging my blood family but they wouldn’t be my relatives if it didn’t

the cigarette i took smelled like upstate still and it tasted like the way i felt in july of 2019, angry, which means alive, grateful for a taste. i took it while dodging my mothers forty fifth ceremony for yet another fissured bong she tipped over while stretching to fix a flower pot on the steps. weed is allowed recreationally so, though it’s illegal to smoke anywhere outside here. the whole town, just like plastic bags. but the teenagers ride on their e bikes and suck them vapes down and eat the core like i do my apples— only if their sticker starts with 9 otherwise i leave about a half inch around the core before i flick it away. i flick him away. so illegal that the inflated tits stuck to the speedwalking moms, speedwalking by my pacing, glare at me. mine aren’t inflated but they scowl back , i shrug and suck it down. i’ve always been paranoid here, it’s because my hair always been different and that difference permeated everything and now i’m less meek maybe a bit brash , so it causes problems . my step is a step my resentfulness fed direct to confidence around these people, so it causes problems

but why does the stucco do that? i’m trying to rest and keep my eyes open, i’m trying to let him make his way out my head, he’s good at keeping his things with his things but i’ve asked him to double check thrice. why is the ceiling moving like this after the newport. it was suppose to sage him out. why is it dancing when i feel like sinking into the bed past the floor dropping down another level and seeping into the carpet down another level into the rubble and further till i reach ocean and then rock and then rock and then past that my brain is too hot to register? i already feel this way now but instead of hot i’m feeling neutral, a dry ice temperature, a burn im seeing but can’t place when i was touched

jimi hendrix and bob marley played soccer together on a chance encounter in greenwich two years before jimi was found dead by asphyxia. i was reading into the reopened case being closed on the grounds that much time had passed after his death, it’d be no service to the public to take another look. i don’t know, who’s to know, but why did she feel the need to recall her recollection in different ways excluding big clumps and including pipe cleaners and camouflage mesh in certain points. it was dry. the vomit was dry. i’m writing this from the rocks stage left of ziggy marleys performance with the orchestra, people are dancing and they seem happy

so there's a new beyond the grid with Daniel, recorded 5 days after Abu Dhabi 22, and here are some of my fav/imo most important parts! (gonna get long so I'll put it under a cut)

he needs to take a break from 'the highs and the lows', wants to find a balance in his life, and life outside the race car has actually been really fun and enjoyable this year

he chose the third driver role because he wants to take a step back from the competition, still be involved in some way, but not as someone who's just always hanging out in the back of the garage, wants to be more removed

he wants to get in the red bull sim also for himself, because he was always comfortable in the red bull and he wants to see if he could still be up there in a car that he's comfortable with (he's talking like he's not completely sure he wants to get back on the grid, and that is sth that will help him decide)

he says there is no regrets about his moves, but especially the renault move he thinks of as a good one. he is especially proud of the 2020 season, and of bringing the team back on the podium. he sees that as one of the best seasons he drove in formula 1. he looks at the mclaren move as more of a lesson learned. he took on a challenge and it just didn't work out

he says there wasn't really any moment in the mclaren car in both years that he felt comfortable and like he fully knows how the car behaves, so ultimately he could never have that confidence that was needed to go to the limit

he says testing doesn't really excite him (when asked if he wants to try the 2021 red bull), but he'd do it to keep his body in tune with the feel of driving over this year

to the question 'do you think max had the easiest season this year': he says in one sense yes bc 'winning is easy' in that life is easy when ur winning, but it's not 'easy' in terms of still showing up, then he brings up lewis (unprompted) and says his dominance wasn't actually easy bc you still deal with that pressure of expectations and you still have to show up and do the work

he chose to not step away completely because there is still fire but it's 'dormant' and he wants to see if it stays that way or comes back stronger

he says as the season progressed, it became clear to him that he just didn't want to compete next year, no matter what team. he acknowledges that it does feel like a bit of a burnout.

(talking about 2018 talks with mercedes) he would've enjoyed going up against lewis, not because he thought he could beat him, but out of curiosity how he would actually do against him, and to maybe see how lewis was just so good

asked if he'd put lando on the level of max & seb, he says he can't really say until he wins and competes at a top team to see if he can handle the pressure, here he brings up lewis AGAIN unprompted, saying 'that's where I go back to lewis and it's like yeah he was winning and whatever and yeah the car was great but he still did it. he still handled all the pressure and all that and still did it and performed and did what everyone thought he could do."

what is he gonna do next year? party like there's no tomorrow.

there's some things he wants to do, and he wants to hold himself accountable and not make excuses not to do them, because if he does go back on the grid he doesn't know when he'll get to do them

wants to do some self reflection and to do that he'd like to do little trips, national parks, things to do with nature, do a phone detox, spend time on the farm

he wants to ride across america (ny to la) on a mini motorbike

the thought of the unknown excites him

he wants to go to the superbowl

he called rihanna a 'boss lady' lmao and said she's gonna kill the halftime show

he would consider doing a ufc battle against someone who is on his level, but he doesn't think he really has that fighter spirit

he didn't answer the question who on the grid he could take in a fight :(((

he says the comraderie at the dinner for seb was special, better than in 2016, he didn't see the bill bc 'one of the drivers kindly took it', but it definitely wasn't that hugely expensive, he calls the food 'normal food' lol

he doesn't think there was any 'fake' behaviour, but there definitely was a sense of 'let's make this special for seb'

he admits he's an attention seeker, but he doesn't feel he missed out on a big send off, says if that was his last weekend in f1, he'd be fine with that, but he was glad seb was celebrated like that

he says he is matura enough now to think 'I don't need to dislike someone to race them hard on track' which wasn't the case when he was younger

he calls his relationship with seb now 'better than ever' and 'amazing' (yes I squealed okay I'm not ashamed to admit it)

the enchanté thing actually originated from banter between him and natalie pinkhams husband, he's known him for 10 years and they both like ufc and like to have drinks together and they'd like cheers eachother and introduce themselves using enchanté, basically just silly banter that kind of became a thing

he says his first race to attend next year will probably be melbourne, if not earlier, but he'll definitely be in melbourne

that's all from me <3

Why do you think stewie left seattle? i know she said it’s to go back home and bring a chip there but do you think something happened between her and seattle front office? or she didn’t wanna stay if sue was gone or …? she seemed so happy to be in seattle

Family was a big factor in her decision. Her grandparents are very old which makes it difficult for them to travel all the way to Seattle to see her. And, she’s extremely close with her grandma (she made her Apple Pizza Crumble PEs after her). Additionally, Marta is from Spain and it’s much easier for her (also older) parents to fly into NY than Seattle.

Also: Marta is PREGNANT! In October they will have two children under five years old, which is a lot to handle, especially when you’re a professional athlete. They need all the family support they can get and it’s easier if they’re just closer to them. So definitely being closer to family was a huge part of her decision.

On the topic of having two children…money. Stewie wanted to go to NY to be closer to Puma’s flagship store and their headquarters in Boston. There are also way more media and marketing opportunities in NY than there is in Seattle. As WNBA player, she will not make enough money from solely playing basketball to support herself and her family of four (or even more!) after she retires. She needs other sources of income and some of the main ones are her contract with Puma and all of her brand deals.

Moreover, I’m assuming - now having two children, being in a large media market, and having an anti-overseas CBA - Stewie will NOT be going overseas again. This makes acquiring money in different ways all the more necessary since she will not be having a million dollar paycheck every winter.

Finally: superteam. Do I think she went for the superteam? No. Do I think it was more of an added bonus? Yes. Remember, Stewie took a meeting with NY in 2022 WNBA free agency. She signed a one year contract with Seattle so she could play with Sue for her last year. But what she basically told NY in that meeting was that she’d sign the next free agency after Sue retired. This is important because it shows she intended on signing with NY regardless of who was playing there. Could the front office have told her that they wanted to bring other players like JJ or Sloot? Maybe. But it wasn’t set in stone. She was signing with NY regardless.

I think Sue leaving Seattle gave her the signal it was time to move on. I know she said she could see herself playing for Seattle for her entire career, but she never confirmed that how she actually felt. She’s from the east coast, her brand is in the east coast, her wife is from Europe, they want to have multiple children, her parents don’t want to move to Washington: it was never gonna work. (Unfortunately 😔).

Also to your point, Anon, I don’t know about the Seattle front office. It seemed they were putting everything on hold till Stewie gave her decision. This is why Stephanie Talbot signed with LA, because she was tired of waiting. It’s also why Sloot almost signed with Seattle, but changed to NY at the last second. I don’t think there was anything Seattle could do. They couldn’t compete with the pull NY had for Stewie.

At the end of the day, Stewie signed with NY because it was good for her, her brand, her family, and her career. I know this upset many storm fans (me included!), but you have to respect players for making the right decisions for themselves. There are so many different factors that caused Stewie to leave Seattle, none of which are her being a “traitor” or a “villain”. As you saw last night at the Liberty/Storm game, she was giving hugs to all her former teammates, the front office, even some of the arena staff! There’s no bad blood between her and Seattle.

💚💛 -> 🩵🖤

If you have any more questions just lmk!

I’ll catch you up: His life is just becoming more of a mess. They went to Fashion Week again. They were front row at two fashion shows; there’s clips on his IG and his tagged. They looked like assholes eating candy while in the front row of the first show and they and a lot of their audiences found it to be so funny. 🙄 then he put the deodorant on her and was aggressively acting like he wanted to kiss her also. It actually looked like he was going too far until someone posted the entire clip and it showed them laughing at the end. He posted his vlog from the trip and it’s just him sucking up to Tana. She calls him Mike’s bitch in the Vlog but he definitely has become Tana’s bitch. She did a live on her OF and he was there. They talked about wanting to move to NY and maybe he roommates. Then they talked about wanting to have a baby together through IVF. They recorded a pod after her live and that was a main topic. I was too embarrassed to even watch it but from what I’ve heard Jeff seemed completely insane in the “Jeff and Tana are having a baby” pod episode. Like he’s actually lost his mind. He went on Trisha’s podcast with Tana and they filmed one for him that is supposed to come out today. I guess they admitted at the start that the baby stuff is just a joke. He also went on Sofia Franklin’s pod last week (filmed a few weeks ago during fashion week though). She asks him a lot of questions about sex and dating. He overshared a lot which surprised me because he didn’t share anything when he was with Tana. And he has with her before. He doesn’t know Sofia well but shared A LOT. He said the last girl he kissed was two weeks ago and the last time he had sex was a month ago. People are guessing it was with Mike’s friend Darcy Williams. She’s some 22 year old British IG model that is apparently an escort. They went out to dinner with Mike and some people after Mike’s friend Taav’s birthday and that was about a month before this interview so it’s likely her. They met at fashion week last year and have hung out a few times; Mike likes to post when Jeff is with her like a weirdo.

Also Mike and Jeff haven’t publicly interacted since a dinner during fashion week which was about three weeks ago. In Jeff’s vlog he takes Mike’s phone and texts Lana (his crazy ex) that he wants to get back together. He lied in the car with Mike and his new girlfriend Sara (who is super young, maybe 25, yikes) and said he didn’t text her but the previous scene literally shows that he did. Sara was pissed. Lana texted Mike that she wants to throw Sara in a wood chipper. They don’t like each other so for Jeff to be meddling in Mike’s new relationship is wrong. Maybe he’s jealous again like he was when Cody had a girlfriend. Jeff was supposed to go with Mike to Puerto Rico to film with Jake Paul but he just stayed in NY with Tana.

He was in NY for almost two weeks. His apartment had a bad pipe break and it leaked in a lot of his pod studio. There’s black mold so he can’t be at his apartment for 30 days. He’s at a hotel for the time being. People are saying it’s a sign from the universe for him to get his life together. He seems surprisingly calm when he posted about it in Patreon. Maybe he sees it as a sign to move to NY? I hope not but who knows. Also we haven’t seen Cody around in a long time. They have been in LA and NY at the same times and they haven’t posted anything together. Someone asked him on IG when he’ll be back in Jeff FM and he said he resigned from the show because he’s too busy. A lot of us think they had a fight. So unfortunately he’s been clinging to Tana more. He went to dinners with her and her weirdo friend Chris Miles. He’s gone to dinner in LA too, for some 19 year old that’s Tana’s friend. He’s unfortunately getting worse the more he hangs with Tana and doesn’t get his brain injury treated. Lots of fans are leaving or have left.

Ugh, I couldn't stomach to watch the pod with the baby talk, just reading about it made cringe enough.

He desperately needs to seek a good therapist before he implodes his life.

Moving away is not a sign of giving up. It’s a sign of redirection. I’ve moved so many times to landscapes that have been unknown but filled with vibrancy. Through the torture we put ourselves through to find friends, partners, or career opportunities - there is beauty in that pain. I've moved from LA to the Bay Area, to NY, then to NJ, and now back to LA in the upcoming weeks, and I have come full circle into my life from where I grew up. What have I learned over subjecting myself to move to new environments over the guise of my evolution? Some are designed to move and others to grow in their home environments. My early 20s were the most horrible years of my life, and I struggled with finances, finding new friendships, and having contemporary romances. I am grateful for those experiences, but I know my time on this Earth is slowly winding down. With that, looking back at every occasion I went through, I saw myself tortured yet realized that our torture was for a reason. If it weren't for meeting flaky friends, I wouldn't learn to set boundaries and be assertive about my needs. If it weren't for a mediocre relationship, I wouldn't know that I was undervalued and deserved more than someone envious of my career. If it weren't for the toxic job where I was gaslit every day and was the only POC on my team, I wouldn't know how to run a healthy business rooted in care, equity, and slowness. Everything happens for a certain reason, but I know that I am done expecting myself to deal with violent and energy-draining experiences. I'm glad I made the choices I did when I was young because I continue to learn, but we also need to be more gentle with what we want for our future growth. We all grow differently and yes, maybe the pain isn't about subjecting ourselves physically or mentally. Maybe it's about honoring our grey hairs, knowing that we must sleep early, our backs hurting, the way we conversate with adults, or even the way we think, that itself can be a pain in a way that is a self-expression of art. You are not alone in pain, but remember to celebrate your beauty.

I also don't think LA vs NY was the problem, because I don't think R actually wanted Jon to move to NY. Ronan wanted to live in New York some of the time, not for them both to live there, because of the… let's call it 'freedoms' that he had when they were apart. Lovett moving full time to NY to be with him would have presented a problem in the same exact way that both of them living in LA did. It was the full-timeness of it all, not the city.

I do believe he THOUGHT he wanted (or at least was able to) settle down and be with one person in a marriage based in the same city, which Lovett clearly wanted and had been a source of tension between them for a while. I already believed based on all the other stuff we have been talking about that the LDR was an issue and Lovett wanted a change, but I went and watched that part of the endless honeymoon podcast that anon referenced a few days ago, and if I didn't believe it before I would now. Anon is right, it's crystal clear from that Lovett was fully over the LDR, I don't even know how we all weren't talking about it at the time it aired.

But I think Ronan agreed to settling down in LA with all intentions of following through, I really think he believed that this was something he could give to Lovett, or he wouldn't have proposed in the first place. But I think he was dragging his feet after that, not necessarily on the wedding but on changing the relationship, and L didn't want to get married without that piece of it. And then it all got real with the house, he started feeling boxed in in a way that was unsustainable. I'm just glad he was honest about it and didn't try to go through with something that would have been a disaster and exploded in their faces, maybe with kids involved.

I think ultimately, they were both admirably honest with themselves and each other about what they needed from the relationship and it became clear that those things were mutually exclusive. At that point, no amount of compromise could have saved it.

I remember when it first happened and a lot of people were asking why they would let a ten year relationship go just like that without trying to save it, but now I think they probably tried to save it for a bit too long. It's clear the distance (and everything that goes with it) has been an issue for a while, but I think they both believed the disagreement was about WHEN to settle down, not if they (he) even could, and that kept them hanging on. But it was always an if and the answer, it turns out, was no. I definitely don't think they will get back together, and I don't even want them to anymore. They aren't compatible and should both find people to be happy with in the kinds of relationships they want to be in.

Aaah, sorry this is so long. I think I've been noodling on this for a year now and it's good to get it off my chest, thank you for providing this space!

I can appreciate good old fashioned honesty. But I still think letting it go on for as long as it did was damaging. If they realized this sooner they'd probably have been happier.

I'm glad L is in therapy. What gets me though is R's behavior post break up. He seems petty about it. But everything you said here makes so much sense, except his attitude.

It's like he fully expected them to continue on as they were. Happy as clams. Its like he heard Ls rejection of this and did it anyway. Idk. I just hope he's happy with the outcome. I mean he gets to be hot and single now.

Sebastian is in NY for the fashion awards, he looks too scruffy—his beard needs a trim./ so he is in NYC, he maybe go back home after the LA gala. I knew he can move without being seen🤣. The fact that pap were call to la when he arive after denmark was 100% plan. So maybe seb just went home to his nyc place after.

What a sad day for some people who belive seb live just fo spend time in LA and take care of aw house and dogs🤣

Yeah

Day 299: Friday October 25, 2024 - "A Freddie Freeman"

Started a new tradition tonight with William that I surprisingly fell in love with myself - I had saved 5 or 6 packs of 2024 baseball cards from mid-season for tonight - for the start of the world series, to pull out and open with William. Even if I got his attention for a half minute with it, thatd be fun. But as it was, with the first inning on the TV, and popped corn in the bowl, we sat and opened two packs together. In it, he pulled a Riley Greene card - way to go! I was excited for him, exactly what I needed - thank you baseball gods! I found his little collection box in his closet and opened a few more packs myself, what an old nostalgic dopamine hit!!! How fun! As I opened one deck, Stanton launched a magestic Home Run that stood to be the difference in the game until the 9th. Would be cool if I pull a Stanton card after that, I said. No - Stanton, but I got a Freedie Freeman, maybe he'll be the hero tonight.!"

The thought of a hero was on my mind, in this old timey historic baseball matchup. I had decided I didnt care for anything more from these two teams than just 7 good historic games that gets decided by a no name pinch hitter and a journeyman reliver and somebody wins in a way we call and talk to our friends about.... Its been a fun baseball season. I hope something really great for baseball happens in this next week. Something that everyone can love - even if it is LA and NY. Audrie was giving me some (admitted) pregnancy grump and I had a great idea - "you need to open some baseball cards!" YEA! I loved watching her flip through her pulls and pronounce the names of the guys. Just like a kid - to see who'd you get and how pretty and special they are. I fell back in love with this old forgotten feeling. What a neat trick. Especially at the end of the baseball year, when all but the most important part of the story has been told, but all the characters have been developed and we just need to see how it ends. Audrie pulled an Anthony Rizzo and it made her smile and I thought that was really great. "He's good right?" Totally, I affirmed. He's right there batting right now! And how loved am I, that here's my tired pregnant wife, that understood my enthusiasm and put on a baseball shirt for the world series.... I didnt even do that! I love her so much and it was fun watching with her and Deni (a Dodgers fan).

The game wound up tied in the 9th, as we navigated William's bedtime, and in the 10th the Yankees played old school national league small ball to get in a run. Buth in the bottom of the tenth, Shohei Ohtani loomed large with an opportunity to tie it....but it wasn't Shohei who'd be the hero tonight...itd be Freddie Freeman instead, with two outs and a no doubter to right field. A Game 1 Walk Off. The first ever walkoff grand slam in World Series History. First in History. Check. Game 1 delivered.

And it wasn't long before I was seeing on social echos of the same thing I was telling Audrie about - about Gibson's shot to Right Field against the Athletics in 88. It was my first memorable sports moment. She watched it with me as I told her vividly how my Uncle Ryan was babysitting me and let me stay up late to watch it. It was probably the first real sports moment for me like that, you know because sports wasn't on TV all the time like it is now. I shared with her that probably more than anytihng up to that point, Boxing was the sport most watched in my house. "Really?" ABC Wide World of Sports - yea it was a different time! But imagine how my Uncle Ryan would have been energized by the moment as it built - this Spartan of his generation who 4 years before led the Tigers to the Championship and now here he was hobbled in LA doing something dramatic - a disney moment, and probably the first time I was ever moved by Sports. Audrie and I watched that long at bat, how Gibby fouled off pitches and worked the count, and then launched a shot to the almost exact spot in the right field bleachers as Freeman's tonight. A Game 1 walkoff. It was uncanny. You know, I pulled a Freddie Freeman tonight? Now thats special... A good way to kickoff this world series tradition. A game Id call my friends about in the morning. William came out from his bath with Grammee and wanted to see the end of the game and sat with me after I backed it up and watched bright eyed as Freddie popped his homer and held his hand up in the high and started to run the bases. William promptly squealed and ran around the house. The Dodgers celebrated and we all agreed, I guess we're cheering for the Dodgers this year. Beacuse that was pretty cool.

Quote: “You're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them-if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.” ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

I am the same age as the boys.

I was graduating/starting college when I really became obsessed with them. I had big plans for my life and not being able to afford college in the city of my dreams was such a low point for me. It kinda started my whole spiral and deep depression. But I had One Direction. I had just joined Tumblr so of course they were everywhere and it was so easy to get hooked and I ate it all up. I loved having something else in my life to focus on when in real life I genuinely felt like I had nothing. I had barely any friends, I was losing a connection with everyone I loved. I was just a shell of a person but I had these five boys I quickly fell in love with.

Through Tumblr and my 1D obsession I ventured and made my first round of online friends. Many of the friends I made, im still actually friends with like fairly close to. I met my soulmate through this obsession. I met someone who just got me, who was in the same dark space and we both kinda stayed in that dark space together until we were ready to leave it.

We shared so much together and grew so much together and with every step of the way we had the boys with us. They didn’t know we existed but they were a part of this. We all grew up together. Together we did things we always talked about and never really knew we’d pull off. She’d visit me home in LA and visit Disney, did a 1D concert here. I’d visit in NY (which surprise is where I had meant to go to college) and even did a 1D concert in Jersey. I even moved to NY then we moved to FL together working for the mouse.

17/18 year old me would have never imagined all I’d do. 16 year old me who was scarily depressed and su*c*dal would have never guessed I lived long enough to make some dreams come true and to be happy.

Yeah at some point along the way Zayn left and 1D did break up but they were still there. Everything they had done for us and everything we had done because of them was still there.

But life went on and I met my future husband. I got pregnant. We stopped being roomies and my soulmate started living her life (which I’m so insanely proud of her ) and I lived mine. She’s got such a bad ass career and now I’m a wife mom of two.

For a while now I’ve mourned my old life. Not because I don’t like my own life now, I adore my new little family , but because that phase of my life, the one that started with 1D, was the first and maybe only time in my life I lived for me. I did what I wanted. I learned to be unafraid. I could be selfish and it was okay, there was no guilt. For a while now it’s been over cause I now have a three year old. I’ve been aware. But yesterday, hearing that someone I was genuinely in love with (and yes I know he turned out to not be great and I mourn that too) is gone, forever, really solidified how far gone that phase of my life is. It’s gone gone. A memory I will cherish forever but that’s all it is now.

Grief is weird and complex.

It doesn’t help that the day before marks the 16th anniversary of my best friend passing. Meaning his presence in death is older than he was when he passed. That’s been an insane roller coaster of emotion.

I’m struggling. I know I’ll likely book an appointment with my therapist and write a mini novel in my diary to cope.

But Tumblr used to be my diary, my safe space. I used to lay it all out when I was having a lot of feelings and i definitely always had a lot of feelings.

I can’t believe how fast time has gone. I can’t believe he’s gone because this wasn’t supposed to happen for years and years. I think maybe I always knew a celebrity death would one day numb me like this just maybe not now.

I’m thankful to have people who are allowing me to grieve and move through these complex feelings.

I think I have a lot of tears left because they’ve been on and off since yesterday.

I just can’t believe this is real life and this really happened.

[lcndonboysstuff]

I was looking at their timeline and seems like they spent a fair amount of time apart during the SAN shooting. Taylor did visit him after Red release week but it was just for a couple of days which in retrospective is a bit weird. Specially because unless he flew commercial, they spent almost a full month apart after that. During which time she worked on Midnights. He only got back to stay after her birthday.

Also do you know if they did their christmas or new year's day trip in 2022 still? They stopped updating the timeline in 2022 so idk. And given that we have that little clip where things were a bit tense I wonder.

Then in january/february 2023 he seemed to stay in LA with her, which makes the whole Matty situation not really good. I mean you have her performing with her ex, I saw someone say that she was at the SNL performance with him too (he didn't know at the time until he then saw they were dating later on), his ex said they were in the studio together. All I wonder is where did Joe stand in the middle of this? Cause he was around right? So did he know and didn't care? Were the Grammys just something to keep up appearances? I wouldn't put it past her to use his jacket just so everyone knew he was there, when in reality they were totally not even acting like much of a couple anymore.

Like idk but it's bizarre to me being with an ex like that, while supposely you are still living with someone else. And you drag it out until April to break up, when you barely even have free time to do it properly.

i don’t think it was that weird? she had just released an album and even jack didn’t seem to stay in Panama for the full shoot. i think they went on holidays together right after he finished filming as well if i’m remembering correctly.

wasn’t joe allegedly at that 1975 performance too? fans say they saw him there. people making it out as if taylor was doing something wrong by performing at it has always been odd to me, as if she wasn’t in London to be with joe in the first place.

i honestly don’t know about a new years trip but i think they were in NY for the new year, joe was pictured with a fan in NY on the 2nd of January.

they were in the studio together with Jack Antonoff because he re familiarised them with each other and they were writing songs.

and about the Grammys joe himself posted a picture of himself at that party so her wearing his jacket doesn’t come across as a calculated move and was just that she simply got cold and wore her bf’s jacket

her hanging out with matty while she was with joe never bothered me, maybe i just don’t care enough. and yeah i don’t know why she only broke up with him in April i don’t think we’ll ever know the specifics of the break up.

PS i know a lot of you guys really hate taylor and it may seem like i’m over defending her in this post. but so many takes i see about taylor from joe fans make me roll me eyes so hard. it makes me want to defend her a little. like why am i seeing some people defend the racist predator John Mayer simply because they don’t like taylor. like can we all please be serious.

Livestream Recap Tuesday, 27 Feb

-said he was in a crappy mood because of Cody being up his ass in his apartment and calling pharmacies

-had a lot of work stuff coming up, got humbled/his ass kicked at Sean’s gym. Said the training session was brutal

-said he’s not sure what he was thinking because he’s only done like 10 MMA classes and thinks he’s going to do a pro fight

-pretended to meditate (like back when he was with Georgie) then said “remember when we were in that relationship where I was being manipulated” - very strange comment to make since WE weren’t in a relationship together and HE wasn’t in a relationship with Georgie either

-said he’s done skydiving forever because of that hematoma he got last time, still has a lump from it

-knows it’s hard to keep up with his phases of what he’s into

-thinks Kyle was inspired to run the upcoming LA marathon because of Jeff running the NY one but Kyle hasn’t officially said that 🙄

-had a body scan (he showed on his Snaps) and said he’s in perfect health

-got that blue box chocolate PR box from Mr. Beast. It’s lit up so there was a black battery pack in the box. Cody being the moron he is said that it was a listening device and Jeff started getting paranoid. I thought he was joking but if you watched him in the H3 stream he mentioned it there again and seemed like he actually believed it.

-said he has a funny dating story that he’s waiting to share in live shows. A tour will be in the future. (He’s been saying this since fall 2021 guys. He’s lost a huge chunk of his supporters he had when Patreon started. The new influx of viewers he has now are Tana fans and probably wouldn’t pay to see his live show. I don’t think a live show will happen soon despite him saying it will. They’ve been spending Mondays as writing days for a live show though)

-said the latest meme on IG is true (it shows Jeff in bed with a girl and Cody in between them because he’s always around). Cody liked the meme but then seemed actually bothered by it on the live. He’s such a wimp.

-they both were sent Brooks running shoes after he whined about Cody Ko being sponsored for the NY Marathon (maybe because Cody is actually an athlete and focused on that)

-to Cody: “I gotta find a girlfriend eventually so you’ll have to find your own way”

-is proud of his niece with her bjj classes

-closed the pod room door and said they boys “lost” another pod episode while he was in AZ with Suga Sean. Handled it better but was annoyed. When the Bruce thing happened he asked Casey Neistat and his parents for advice

-someone asked if he feels like he’s his authentic self around his friends and Jeff of course said yes, around strangers too. 🙄

-Oscar said they could do an AI episode of the Bruce pod because I guess he has the audio and screenshots? Jeff sounded like he wants to do that but who knows with them

-said he used to be aggressive when they filmed the barbershop episodes but he’s gotten soft. Said it seems like he had more fun back then

-said he saw some clip of Tana and Brooke saying that Jeff is too hot and they couldn’t date him or something. He spoke in a weird voice and said he’d “get them” the next time they were on the show (he was joking and acting like they had said something offensive)

-there were issues with the live and it only worked on laptops but no phones so he was saying he will make a YouTube membership like H3 and move all previous Patreon vids over there. Then at the end he said he’d think about doing that so he doesn’t know what he’s doing, as usual.

-there will be a merch drop soon

-he said “consistency is key” which made me laugh because would any of us use consistent as a word to describe Jeff at all? Definitely not

-someone asked for advice about a long distance relationship but he’s never been in one so had no advice to give.

-said Cierra was gone to film a movie where she had to kiss a guy. He trusted her but it bothered him - but him acting like he’s sleeping with Tana shouldn’t bother a new girlfriend right? 🙄

-said he remembers the Australian girl and Morgan from the Bachelor but no one else

-I guess one of the girls is in law school and he said one of them would have to make a sacrifice to be close to the other and is wouldn’t be her if she’s in school - why he’s pretending like he’s move his entire life for a random girl he meets on this dumb dating show is so stupid

-some new girl asked what he likes to do in the bedroom and he said he’s not going to answer that - wtf is wrong with these new weirdo fans?

-said his life is so hard and he works so much - the lies he tells omg

-he got an infection in his mouth from cutting himself from his water pic, thought it was something worse

-someone said Cody is rotting Jeff’s brain and Jeff agreed

-asked if he’d put his kids on social media and said he’s not sure. His partner has a day in that so they’d have to decide - didn’t he say in the first Bachelor episode that the wife will have zero say in naming them and that he would only get to do that? I hope he was kidding but his change of tone was interesting.

-said he’s going to Miami for Suga Sean’s fight, I wonder if he’ll hang out with Mike and Sara? Last we saw Sara was pissed at Jeff and hasn’t been around him since. Will Mike choose her and Jeff be with other people?

Thanks!!
