SPOTTED: One of my favorite times of the year -- Kiss on the Lips.

Apparently, the Ghost of Fiance's Past couldn't resist the party, either. While I'm certainly happy to see Elliott Jonsson's return to the land of the living, I know my sentiment isn't shared by all. As a true gentleman, his first stop post-JFK was to seek out Miss Left at the Altar 2022, Brie Barlow. Public humiliation seems to be a turn on for these two. Most would have expected a tight lipped reunion and a quiet threat of annihilation -- Brie's welcome home gift to Elliott was a red mark across her ex's cheek, curtesy of her palm. Romantic!

The night doesn't end there for our fallen prince just yet -- My sources confirmed that after being all but physically tossed out on his ass by security, Elliott was spotted trying to reconnect with yet another Park Ave Princess -- Vienna Miller. The latter has come quite a ways from who she was last time I wrote about her, but do I sense there's something more to this "reunion"? Meeting your best friend's ex in the dark isn't exactly Girl Code.

But then again, neither is taking home your best friend's brother, either. Now I, for one, hadn't expected Brie's next conquest to be Gabe Miller, front man of the Midnight Mystics -- After their brief fling over the holidays, I assumed this was merely a lapse in judgment. Regardless, the musician was spotted making his way into Brie's town car soon after her. It's good to know Gabe still has time for groupies. I suppose if you're going to choose which one of your ex's to go home with -- Go for the one who already has a hotel room.

Speaking of exes, Nova Watson made an appearance -- And as always, let us know just how small her bank account is. While I can commend her Faux Fendi Replica, a knock off is still a knock off. Unfortunately, with Colette Arsine choosing the Maldives over Dumbo, Nova was left without anyone to fight her battles for her. My sources report she held her own while verballing sparing against Celebutauntes and Instagram Girl Wannabes -- One would almost think she was born and raised on the Upper East Side. She keeps showing up there, after all, despite claiming to wear the Outsider badge with pride.

Thankfully, our Ivy League Empress traded Yacht Clubs for Galas at the MET -- Indiya Du Pont has returned to her roots, not missing a beat in verbally eviscerating any one who ends up in her line of fire. I suppose some things never change. I can't wait to see what devastation she causes next.

Perhaps the Psuedo-Kennedy, Nalin Renaud? She's played political peacemaker for far too long -- It's the only reason I can find for her not causing a scene after having a drink poured on her. Maybe Gabe is more like the rest of us than I anticipated. Maybe Nalin has lost her edge. Her family may want a her to be the next Hillary, everyone knows politics are rife with one thing: Scandal. It's only a matter of time before she follows in the foot steps of our Role Model -- And Nalin's former best friend, as reported by my sources -- Daisy Chakrii. She may be on her best behavior after this latest stint in rehab, but we all know it's only a matter of time before TMZ posts a video of her dancing on stage at Victrola. I'll be front row.

You know you love me.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

a guilty pleasure of mine in fics tbh. unfortunately pierce and nova do not make the cut as they both are extremely reckless and impulsive and have a habit of letting their anger get the best of them…but they’re in love so.

“I’d kill for you. Please ask me to kill for you.” “No.” Is a top tier ship dynamic no I do not take criticism

Wait, what’s the deal with seashepard? I grew up w a family that supported them and literally bought their merch and stuff

I was the same way! I thought they were so cool after watching Whale Wars. But unfortuantely, despite agreeing with their mission to end commercial whaling, I think their dangerous methods (not to mention their extreme anti-zoo and anti-Indigenous rhetoric) ultimately cause a lot more harm than good. Assaulting and harrassing whalers and sealers, many of whom rely on hunting to feed their families, isn't going to inspire any change. I've been told by folks that have had interactions with Sea Shepherd members that they have a reputation for alienating the communities they enter and being rude and aggressive to both locals and other anti-whaling organizations.

Captain Paul Watson founded Sea Shepherd in 1977 after leaving Greenpeace for disapproving of his "direct action" approaches. In 1986, Watson lead an attack on unoccupied whaling vessels in Iceland that got his group branded as terrorists. The act ultimately had a counterintuative effect, "turn[ing] Icelandic public opinion against the cause of saving whales" (x). In 2013, they were even labeled as "pirates" by a U.S. court for their aggressive actions toward occupied Japanese whaling ships: "When you ram ships; hurl containers of acid; drag metal-reinforced ropes in the water to damage propellers and rudders; launch smoke bombs and flares with hooks; and point high-powered lasers at other ships, you are, without a doubt, a pirate, no matter how high-minded you believe your purpose to be" (x). Sea Shepherd actually removed Watson in 2022 in an attempt to separate itself from his more radical tactics (and outstanding arrest warrants) and go legitmate. PETA denounced this as a betrayal to the animal rights movement.

Watson started his own organization (yet again), and Sea Shepherd is now lead by real estate mogul Pritam Singh. But I still hesitate to support them. In their bid to gain custody of Wikie and Keijo, they make several alarming statements, claiming that Nova Scotia is too cold for them since all they know is warm Mediterranean water (neglecting the fact that their habitat is chilled, something that can't be done in a pen) and that relocating to a sea pen in France will somehow be less stressful than moving to another pool. Wikie and Keijo were both born in the Marineland tanks. Even if we believe that a pen will be more beneficial to their welfare in the long run, it's downright foolish to claim that a pen is the "least stressful option." No one on their team has remotely any experience in captive cetacean husbandry, so they plan to continue employing Marineland trainers. Maybe don't accuse a group of animal abuse and then ask them to come work for you?

SPOTTED: The return of a true Upper East Side Titan, and the beginning of an unexpected romance.

I, for one, gave up hope long ago that Kami Kaplan would return to the states. I can only assumed her move back to the city was brought on by the arrival of yours truly, of course. Our once favorite Firestarter has exchanged her matches for political allies, truly turning a new leaf. You all saw the Instagram post -- Nalin Renaud and Kami Kaplan are in a relationship. Maybe it's love, maybe it's a large paycheck; Either way, Kami must have turned a new leaf to gain the trust of the Renaud family -- They don't give their Cash Cow to just anyone.

Not everyone has been bit by the relationship bug -- While he may have been seen leaving with Brie Barlow after the Kiss on the Lips party, my sources confirm that Gabe Miller was seen looking particularly disheveled leaving a dive bar bathroom with a random. I've always preferred members only clubs -- But I suppose that isn't quite everyone's scene. Spotted in the same evening was none other than Colette Arsine, as beautiful and blaise as ever. It seems she's wasted no time after her return from the Maldives, seen with Gabe Miller, Brie Barlow, and Nova Watson all within the same week. Getting your drama directly from the source does have it's benefits. She's got a bit of catching up to do, after all.

Speaking of directly going to the source, I received a tip from a certain Q Magazine receptionist that Elliott Jonsson was seen arriving at the office after hours. Something tells me this was all pleasure, not business. Careful, Brie -- You of all people know Elliott will happily make a run for it wherever you're involved. He didn't go far, though -- He was spotted in the midst of something of a power struggle with Gabe Miller while at brunch at the Aubrey. Noticeably, sans a certain blonde. My sources say the tension was palpable between the two, but I don't understand why -- They have so much in common these days! Social circles, stomping grounds, who they take to bed.

However, the two pale in comparison to the stand off seen at La Bernardin between Indiya Du Pont and Brie Barlow. I've missed the team up's between these two, but I think I like to watch them fight even more. One nosy patron let me know the two were feuding over yours truly, spilling a few secrets before their bestie even knew. It's always such a shame to see two Queen Bees in a cold war, but I certainly love being the cause of it. Want more to discuss, ladies? Indiya was seen with Nova Watson, notable Outsider and Ex of Gabe Miller, hoping to get the two to rekindle their love. Something tells me this will end as well as Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood.

Vienna Miller, ever elusive and calculated, was seen arriving at the Plaza hotel this last week -- Acting as if she owns the place, of course. While most wouldn't bat an eye to see the brunette among the sea of hotel guests, I heard something quite interesting: Elliott has been staying at the Plaza, ever since he touched down at JFK. An interesting coincidence, no? These two just can't stop these secret rendezvous. I wonder what Brie has to say about that.

You know you love me.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

The North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in Halifax, Nova Scotia has come to an end with Team Yukon finishing with 39 medals — 20 gold, 10 silver and nine bronze.

Team Yukon had a contingent of more than 130 athletes, coaches and mission staff. Eight Yukon communities including Watson Lake, Dawson City, Mayo, Teslin, Carmacks, Haines Junction, Pelly Crossing, Ross River and Whitehorse represented the territory.

The multi-sport competition had representatives from 756 Indigenous nations in North America to celebrate, share and reconnect through sports and culture.

The Games ran from July 15 to 23 in the territories of Kjipuktuk Dartmouth and Millbrook First Nations. Team Yukon represented the territory in 11 sports.

A July 24 release from the Yukon government said a cultural contingent and Yukon First Nation elders shared their stories with more than 3,000 participants from across North America. [...]

Oi oi, booklovers!

Um post "Noite Estrelada vibes" pq eu amo esse quadro e não tive nenhuma ideia melhor 🫠

Mas, para ser sincera, a primeira coisa que essa booktag me lembrou foi a abertura clássica de ICarly, quando o Freddie começa com "em 5, 4, 3, 2 e..." pam pam pampamparam I know, you see 💃🏻 kahskahajhsk minha infância todinha! 🥹❤️✨

Ok, vou deixar de enrolar e ir pra booktag kkkkkkk

🌙| 5 livros que amo

• A Menina que Roubava Livros (+14)

Vcs já devem estar achando que o Markus Zusak me paga pra fazer propaganda, mas A Menina que Roubava Livros é realmente um livro único, até agora não vi nenhum igual. Traz a Segunda Guerra Mundial com uma perspectiva diferente da maioria dos livros, que tem foco nos judeus - e com razão - enquanto esse daqui se passa num bairro pobre da Alemanha. Fora isso, qual leitor não gosta de um livro sobre livros?

• Minha Vida Fora de Série 1 (+12)

Eu sou muuuuuito apegada a MVFS1. Foi o primeiro romance teen q li e tbm é o lar do meu maior crush literário (eu CASARIA com ele sem pensar duas vezes). Além disso, é nacional e tem uma prota apaixonada por séries. Vcs podem encontrar a resenha aqui :)

• O Cão dos Baskerville (+10)

Ora, ora, se não é o caro Sherlock Holmes? Kkkkkkk

O Cão dos Baskerville é minha história preferida, talvez pelo cenário diferente e uma participação maior do Watson na investigação, porém amo a saga inteira.

• Pollyanna Moça (+12)

Meu romance de época preferido e um dos meus livrinhos de conforto. Essa é a sequência de Pollyanna, que mostra a juventude da nossa querida garotinha loira otimista. O começo é meio chatinho, mas as migalhas de romance são uma graça.

• Sem Coração (+14)

O País das Maravilhas é um universo bem conhecido, mas já imaginou como foi que a Rainha de Copas chegou ao poder? Como ela era antes? Por que ficou desse jeito? Aqui, você tem as respostas - e, pra quem assistiu Descendentes 4, eles tiveram uma ideia bem parecida pra personagem.

Mas já aviso: quem termina sem coração é você, pq ele se parte em 1000 pedaços depois da leitura 🫠

💙| 4 livros que quero ler

• Assassinatos e Cookies de Chocolate (+??)

Eu estou super animada pra ler, pq assisti todos os filmes da Hannah Swensen e só depois de séculos descobri que existem os ✨livros✨

Porém, a edição era super antiga (o nome é O Mistério do Chocolate) e só se vendiam usados na Amazon, então desanimei. Até que, num belo dia no Insta, eu vi uma resenha desse livro e fiquei tipo "não creio q fizeram uma edição nova aaaaaa 🥹"

Em resumo, Hannah é uma confeiteira que, de vez em quando, dá uma de detetive. Parece ter uma pegada bem "cozy mistery", exatamente do jeitinho que eu gosto. Deveriam aproveitar e traduzir os livros da Aurora Teagarden também!!!

• Caída por Você (+14)

Comédia romântica dos anos 2000 é um dos meus gêneros preferidos, então eu espero amar esse livro, pq disseram q parece com "De Repente 30" - fora q tbm li a amostra e gostei bastante. E, é claro, tem enemies to lovers 🥹❤️✨

O plano de Charlotte Wu é organizar a festa de formatura perfeita e as coisas estavam correndo como o planejado, até que ela cai de uma escada e aterrissa em J. T. Renner, seu arqui-inimigo. Entretanto, quando acorda, Charlotte se vê numa cama desconhecida com seu noivo que, pasmem, é Renner. Agora os dois estão presos nos 30 anos e precisam fazer de tudo para descobrir como voltar ao normal.

• Cidades Pequenas não Guardam Segredos (+12?)

Tbm é um livro que eu já "conheço", então estou muuuuuito ansiosa pra ler! Essa é a nova versão de Cecília Vargas (que eu só consegui ler o primeiro volume, para minha infelicidade), ent conheço boa parte dos personagens e um pedaço do enredo :)

Enquanto os amigos de Cecília estudavam para o vestibular, ela fez um curso de investigação profissional para, enfim, realizar seu sonho de se tornar detetive particular. Mesmo com medo de não ser levada a sério por sua pouca idade, Cecília põe um anúncio e é chamada para seu primeiro caso: um incêndio suspeito em Itaipaema, onde crimes nunca acontecem...será mesmo?

• Se não Fosse por Você (+14)

Mais um nacional, pra equilibrar. Esse livro tá na minha lista há séculos, mas tá sempre caro kkkkkkk Não julgo já que é nacional e nem tem editora, mas cara, quase 50 reais em um livro de 300 e poucas páginas que consigo terminar em uns 2/3 dias 🤡 Eu sou leitora, mas tbm sou ✨pobre✨

Melissa está dando duro pra realizar seu sonho de ser delegada. Como qualquer concurseiro, ela está sempre estudando e vendo dicas, principalmente em seu blog preferido, Sr. Concursado. Então ela conhece Leonardo e a relação deles passa de briga por uma limonada roubada a namorados por uma noite.

(amo fake dating e o ENEM tá me tirando do sério. Esse seria o momento perfeito pra ler esse livro.)

🌙| 3 livros que sempre recomendo

Meu momento de brilhar chegou kkkkkkk

O primeiro é A Menina que Roubava Livros, que já panfletei nesse post. Os outros dois podem ser qualquer um da Marissa Meyer, principalmente Cinder e Renegados (meus preferidos dessas sagas são Scarlet e Supernova, mas não posso recomendar eles se a pessoa não leu o primeiro).

💙| 2 leituras recentes

O último livro q li foi Nos Vemos em Vênus. Não botei muita fé, mas gostei bastante, embora a protagonista tenha me estressado muito em alguns momentos. No geral, ele é uma mistura de Amor & Gelato com Como eu era Antes de Você.

Antes dele, terminei O Assassinato no Trem, o primeiro da série "As Irmãs Mitford Investigam".

E pasmem: as irmãs Mitford não investigaram nada.

O livro tem foco na nova babá dos Mitford e em um policial decidido a solucionar o assassinato que ocorreu no trem. Em resumo, senti que foi muito enrolado e teve pouca ação. Seria melhor se tivesse menos páginas.

🌙| 1 Leitura atual

No momento estou lendo A Bicicleta das Dálias Vermelhas (comecei ontem). Uma amiga virtual da época do meu Ig (2020-2022) me recomendou esse livro (e tbm Peripécias de uma Estudante de Moda). Demorei um tempão pra ler, mas ela acertou em cheio! Até agora estou achando bem a minha cara.

Finalmente acabei de escrever esse post kahskahajhsk ficou quilométrico, mas gostei 🤡🫶🏻

Bjs e boas leiturassss <333

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph! Wondering if you have any fic recs to recommend us? Anything would do, but preferably Johnlock without a third party involved (no infidelity, etc). Thank youu

Hey Nonny!!

Thank you SO much for this very broad ask, since I have a few lists ready-to-go but no asks to attach them to! Hmmmm... How about this list, should be good for no-infidelity but LOTS of angst before a happy ending! :)

Sadly, I just discovered that Tumblr doesn't let me make my lists as long as I used to be able to, so I unfortunately had to cut out half the fics on this list, so there IS a part two to this one, but no ask I can add it to, so if you'd like to see MORE Sherlock POV Angst, let me know!! <3

As usual, please add your own fics if you have any!

glimpses through a closing window by radialarch (T, 2,430 w., 1 Ch. || Hiatus / Post TRF, Vlogging, Pining Sherlock, Angst, BG John/Mary) – John starts a domestic vlog. Sherlock watches it on stolen phones, over flickering wi-fi, and aches.

All in a Day by chappysmom (K+, 2,920 w., 1 Ch. || Kidnapping, Sherlock POV,  Humour, Light Angst, BAMF John) – Oddly enough, it seemed like this time, Sherlock had been kidnapped for no other reason than to pressure John. In other words, this had nothing to do with him. Really, this on top of the blow to the head was enough to make him dizzy.

Measuring Damage With the Fujita Scale by teahigh (T, 3,548 w., 1 Ch. || First Kiss / Time, Vacation / Holidays, Friends to Lovers, Bed-Sharing, Pining Sherlock, Sherlock POV, Angsty Fluff, Scars, Awkward Talks) – John goes back into town, into the storm, and Sherlock realises he forgot to say, “I just want to be alone with you.”

Nineteen Seconds of Falling by EmmyAngua (T, 3,739 w., 1 Ch. || Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Falling in Love) – Sherlock spends exactly nineteen seconds zoned out after John asks him to be best man.

In the cherry blossom's shade by Eliane (M, 3,934 w., 1 Ch. || Post S3, First Time / Kiss, Sleeping Together, Pining / Obsessive Sherlock, Minor Char. Death) – This isn’t new.

He was missing a vital piece of data, he was sure. John had been looking at him oddly ever since they left Buckingham Palace, and the ensuing incident with Irene Adler had only exacerbated his erratic behaviour. What was it? Why would he care that Sherlock was a virgin? There was nothing reminiscent of mockery or pity in his gaze. And then it hit him. John Watson was aroused.

It’s only been two days, but it feels huge, important, like there is a precarious bridge stretched out before them both that they need to at least attempt to traverse.

A Friend Indeed by Sanru (K+, 8,190 w., 1 Ch. || Missing John, Friendship, Drama, Introspection, Possessive Sherlock, Worried Sherlock) – Something has gone terribly wrong with a supposedly simple case.

Eventually, he and Sherlock stumble into a sort of relationship, but it's more physical than anything and they don't talk about it. They especially don't talk during sex. If they are going to have sex, Sherlock notices the signs hours beforehand, and he prepares carefully. The lights are off, they're under the covers, he prepares himself using lots of lube so he can make it feel as much like a woman as he can, and he doesn't let himself make any noise so that, if John wishes, he can pretend that he's still with Mary.

The odd thing was, he never actually hit the ground. 

The Five Stages of Mourning, Plus One by SunnyRea (T, 10,557 w., 1 Ch. || MCD, Pining / Grieving Sherlock, URT, Heavy Angst, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Drug Use, Graphic Death, Depression, Unhappy Ending) – Sherlock did not want this, did not want another stalemate with John in the middle, a gun in Jim's hand. This cannot have happened without a sign. There has to be something he missed anything which said today is the day I kill for real. 

White Blank Page by SarahCat1717 (M, 11,936 w., 7 Ch. || Post-TRF, Clever John, Reunion Fic, Pining Sherlock, Letters, Fantasies) – Post-fall, Sherlock is off eliminating Moriarty's crime web.

Nova Pilbeam and Derrick de Marney in Young and Innocent (1937).

She looks a bit like Emma Watson, don’t you think?

This is a really fun movie that’s basically a very early action movie. Hitchcock was such a pioneer and his movies don't feel dated like others of the same era.
