New Thoughts.......................

I think we can finally put to bed the saying "all publicity is good publicity". It doesn't work anymore for the newer generations of millennials and gen z. You can see that from Blake's complaint. There was data pulled from her mentioning online and how negative it was and how she stopped doing appearances and posting online(sound familiar?) because of it. Chris isn't related to this situation, but I see some parallels. We keep saying his team is terrible and yes that is true but I don't think they were prepared for what happened to him. What Chris should have done was hire a crisis manager to be on the offensive instead of the poor defense that was pulled. Was it arrogance? Did he think people were just going to fall for it despite his years long behavior and actual dating patterns(some of us have tea about his dating in real life and none of it with loser 20 year old's)? I was around during lilygate and the ability for the fandom to pull up information within the blink of an eye should have been a forewarning to him and his team that continuing with him being available for paid boyfriend engagements was not a good idea.

I can only hope for 2025 he and his team get it together. If he is going to have social media, tell him to use it or get rid of it. If this is a real relationship(it isn't) tell him to act like it because he still isn't. Tell him to stop trying to fuck on the side(got stories about that too.................keeping to the chest until I want to lol). Tell him we haven't forgotten about Dodger. A bunch of other shit but this is too long.

Not Alpine posting the ‘live’ on their feed! 😂

Clearly PR didn’t do their job and ‘proof check’ the live before posting it for the masses to watch and rewatch the chaos that kept unravelling.

For instance:

Poor Jack, just desperately trying to stay on task and having to deal with ‘the children’ giggling and clackling away 

Esteban and Pierre, playing with filters and not listening to the questions

Not Pierre playing with the filters and then using an alpha Tauri boarder filter and then realising it and taking it off 

Not Esteban, and Pierre, swearing, and not realising children are watching

When asked if they prefer dogs or cats and Pierre smirking (and clearly on demon time) casually saying ‘doggie’ for Esteban to then remember their are indeed children watching

Jack being the youngest, but trying to be the mature one

Pierre not getting Jack’s Aussie dry humour and playing up more

Pierre and Esteban trying to make Jack join the dark side of the chaos

Jack internally losing his shit with the chaos

Jack not having a clue what the boys are saying for a good 5 minutes while the speak French and hoping to god it can’t get any worst

Pierre clearly bored and wanting more chaos and asking George and Lando to join not remembering it’s a ALPINE live!

And just being a PR chaotic nightmare in general!

Just to clarify...

Many of us are not outraged about being "lied to and trolled". That's not what this about for us so I'm going to break it down for you.

We aren't outraged. We are frustrated. There is a difference.

We are tired of the constant drama and we are finding it hard to understand why anyone would want to add to it (despite best intentions).

There are plenty of us who have our own opinions about what's going on and we aren't trolls, unhinged or quite frankly interested in stirring up the fandom or pitting blogs against each other. To accuse us of that is insulting.

I'm assuming most of us are adults here so it would be nice if we could have cordial discussions and agree to disagree when presented with "evidence."

It's not a bad thing to be called out. That's where learning often happens.

Last but not least...If you have to go to great lengths to convince anyone of anything that might be the problem.

Man, it's getting really hard to understand Nijisanji's side when they keep making their situation worse...

I love a dumpster fire as much as the next person... but this is too much even for me! 🔥

People are opening their eyes and realizing how fake and photoshopped everything is.

It's just a matter of time...

i have a feeling that if blake lively responds to the criticism going around about her regarding the it ends with us press tour she’s going to twist it into a gender double standard or something. it seems like she’s treating this movie like a romcom and acting similar to her husband with his superhero movie. sorry people don’t like half baked takes and your hair care line. hopefully she learns how to read a room and that doesn’t happen.

Great future contents revealed, suck ass livestream

So now your interested in your own career

What do you mean? Do you think PR company found those tweets and released them?

I think they already knew about the tweets and all that stuff. Remember; she cleaned out her socials long before this flop of a floplationship got started. She was dating another client of Narrative; they were already aware of her. I find it interesting how that little detail is never really spoken about anymore. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the same thing happen with seb and ale as in weird racist things popping up after it was revealed they were "together"? I think certain things are held onto and released at opportune times for maximum exposure.

I hate when 2pm me has to correct 2am’s mistakes. That shit was not approved by HR.

Remember when the SMA article came out and ppl were dissecting how he was talking about slowing down and focusing on creating a family, wife, kids, etc.? This paired with the lazer focused stuff on finding a partner, stepping away from the industry...

And then a day or so later the editor of People mag said that when he was ready to date, he'd be "seen with her, and he'd talk about her?"

I think it was these three elements that really riled ppl up when he went public with AB a day later.

First: "he was seen with her"

Second: "talked about her" - do IG stories count?

Third: He's "slowed down" on projects, nothing really new announced.

But then you take another look at all of this...

"seen with her" - besides that public pap walk? Virtually no real sightings, no organic out in the wild together. The first time anyone's "seen" them together in real time was at the beginning of the premiere, and only caught by that one tik toker who edged around to the back of the car to catch that 10 second interaction. He didn't take any photos with her on the red carpet. Nobody actually saw them at the premiere together.

"talked about her" - except, in all of his public press since Nov 22, he's not mentioned her in any direct form. If it weren't for his IG stories, there'd be no real acknowledgement otherwise. But what's more, even in those stories where they're actually interacting - do you ever hear him say her name? During ghosted press, they must have done 50 interviews about ghosting, romance, dating faux pas, first and perfect dates...not one answer about a current gf or relationship.

"Slowed down" - he just filmed 3 movies in a year. He just finished promoting the first one, with two more down the line. During ghosted press, he's mentioned the gene Kelly project directly more than once, and even went into detail about the premise/storyline, talking about how he's still tweaking it but he really wants to do it. Dexter caught in another interview saying he's "allegedly" playing the role and he'll be showing off his dancing skills there. The fact that they're actively speaking about the role - and not just as a throwaway comment like they did with LSOH after Covid hit and film development halted - it really appears that CE might be putting all of his efforts to making this happen. Which could explain the "slow down" of taking other projects, because his plan is to keep his schedule open to let this one manifest. And not to mention the Scott Pilgrim series that's coming up. Another project - albeit smaller, but still a project.

So yes, in a way, the SMA cover did "foreshadow" all that was going to happen. Putting out the narrative of a long time bachelor finally "settling down" once he found "the one." But then you look again, and you start to realize, yeah, but - there's cracks to this picture they've painted. There's intentional holes that don't add up. And you start to wonder, maybe someone's not so accidentally sabotaging this narrative. I mean, I'm no insider. But it makes you think, doesn't it?

It sure does. You've done a great job of articulating what I've felt.

From the other high lords position Rhys is pure evil that is all they know of him. They are totally right in their apprehension.

It’s funny how bad the ic is at politics, my 13 year old mind was screaming and cackling about how amazing and bad ass situations like this were but now it seems ridiculous. Imagine Rishi Sunak’s wife scrapping Joe Biden at a UN summit 😭😭

feyre sends fire towards beron, burning his wife and son, then traps him in a bubble of water, trying to kill him and its so girlboss at this diplomatic meeting where they're trying to unify seven courts

but you know if beron attacked in retaliation, he would be the most evil person who ever evilled who is sabotaging the war effort

his nameless wife is just collateral damage to girl power

Today’s People’s Magazine of 2022 SMA goodbye article: Rinse and repeat. Nothing new.

[yuwuta]

f2l with katsuki but there’s nobody who rides harder for you two being a couple than izuku and not even in a weird pining threeway kind of way. just genuinely, from the bottom of his heart, he’s always believed you two should be together. he’s always watched you two growing up, he’s always chased after you two, he’s always seen the way you both lean into each other and still find space to pull him up too. he thinks you and katsuki deserve each other, he knows you two are meant for each other. it’s excruciating for izuku to watch you two not realize it for so long, heartbreaking to watch kacchan figure it out but not say anything, and the worst pain of all is watching you date other people because you’re too stubborn to realize your soulmate is has been right next to you your entire life. it’s exhausting, and izuku is bitter about it.

and petty. whenever you mention you have a date, his response is always “is it with kacchan?” “huh? no, it’s—” “that’s too bad then.” he pretends not to remember any of your boyfriends’ names and somewhere along the way he just stops pretending and really doesn’t care to learn them. he’s sweet and all smiles with everyone else, but the second someone other than katsuki is interested in you, there’s a straight frown on his lips. he’s out for drinks with katsuki and he’s noticed some guys eyeing him from across the restaurant, so izuku goes to greet them while katsuki is in the bathroom, all bright smiles and hero facade beaming as he signs the shorter one’s baseball cap with a sigh, “kacchan is handsome, right? you should see his girl, she’s stunning too,” capping the sharpie and any potential plans for flirting for the evening. he’s spent many nights gossiping with mitsuki and inko about you two, crying about how seeing you two dating other people is harder than any other mission he’s ever been sent on.

sometimes izuku just wants to shove the two of you in a locker and keep you in there until you decide to be together. he spends so much time with his chin in his palm, sighing with such yearning for a relationship that isn’t even his own. his eyes are soft right now, watching you and katsuki in the communal kitchen of the agency. there’s a slight glare shining through the glass walls, but he can see your smiles bright as day. you lean with your back to the counter, stirring your tea mindlessly as katsuki faces you, arms crossed but posture relaxed, no doubt saying something to rile you up judging by the slick grin on his face. you’re much shorter than him, but izuku remembers the days when you were taller than both of them back in second grade; he thinks the height difference panned out nicely. kacchan could lean down and kiss you right now, izuku wishes he would. a soft smile paints izuku’s face—they only keep that tea in the cabinets for the days you decide to visit, and katsuki only teases to hear your sharp tongue counter him. he must be in a particularly good mood today—or maybe, he’s happy because you’ve visited—judging by the way he throws his head back with a hearty cackle after you’ve said something to him. that’s good, hopefully you’ll keep his spirits up when they leave for patrol later. izuku gets so caught up in his daydreaming that he’s startled when there’s a knocking on the glass, and now you’re next to it smiling at his startled face and waving to him. he looks at you, then back to katsuki, who’s shadowed you to the glass wall, hovering protectively like he always has. izuku shakes his head in disbelief, but waves back. he finds the glass fitting, a window he’s looking into. he just hopes the scene changes to something more romantic sooner rather than later.
