"It's dark and lonely. Where did I go wrong?" Day Two of @byler-week! Now it's Mike's turn for the standard, but not-so-standard (but just equally as devastating) angst. Will it get better tomorrow? Stay tuned to find out!

Currently arguing with soemone about how dinna wearing the likes girls shirt means something because that shouldn't have been the shirt she was wearing.// Same anon this person literally tried to say that if something planned in tandem with Ryan and I was like "if that was true she wouldn't have had to apologize for it literally the day after"

Raise your hand if you’ve spent nights crying yourself to sleep, raise your hand if you’ve felt as if you’d rather hide in bed all day than face the people that make you feel small or powerless! Raise your hand if you’ve felt as if you’d rather lie to people than tell them the truth about who you really are, because at least you wouldn’t be the victim of hateful behavior or prejudice! And raise your hand if lying feels almost as bad.

my mind rn:

still thinking about how it's more likely atp to believe that danny ric met lando being shirtless then decided to gave lando his shirt and persuade him to go to the beach party together after i saw that video of shirtless lando padleboarding 😫😫

tbf I own like a week's worth of clothes in the best of times 😂

however the outfit change is actually just the shoes as the shirt is the same

Okay, so leaving aside the actual game content for a while here…

Is Dropout giving this season of Game Changer a MUCH higher budget?

Like, I’ve been having this thought for a while, but there are so many little additional costs this time that add up:

Half the episodes have fully-custom replacement podia…

I assume they had to completely repaint the back wall after Pencils Down…

The SINGLE day of shooting covering Bingo and Déjà Vu required SIXTEEN actors, not including Sam. (9 Bingo players, the PA, Siobhan, Ify, Zac, BDG, Josh, and Kevin).

Of just THOSE two episode: the huge number of cameras and storylines in Bingo was a huge production burden… While the AMOUNT of editing required for Déjà Vu is above and beyond anything they’ve done in this show before (EVEN including Escape the Greenroom, which is in some ways the prototype for both of those episodes, featuring both the unusual camera setup and the editing interstitials for backfilled story)…

Went on twitter today and boom! saw DT trending, I thought wtf, I read Thea like morning paper and there was nothing trend worthy with DT today, but seems his answer to the gender question at that meet&greet was filmed (though I heard people say they were forbidden from filming or using phones at all there) and widely shared, and now there's a terf pile on to rival the one after the t-shirtgate at the GO2 premier. the funny thing is I saw some of them think the filmed bit is from a 'trans cult' meeting where he was, like, sermonizing for 'mutilating children', and the fan dressed as muriel is someone dressed as a soldier of british empire with mocking purposes... The amount of funny crazy stuff I learn following these old men's careers, evil omnipresent pr, multiple times olympic medallists baby trapping wives, trans cult meetings spitting on the british legacy to boot... they seem to moonlight as showcases for human stupidity when they're not acting

Him and Daniel Radcliffe truly keep winning the award for the only normal guys from that shitty little island.

shirtgate is so stupid I'm almost kind of mad it didn't happen to lando instead

ohmygod you have GOT to write a drabble about the norrix shirtgate of march 2024 ™️ please

Oh ho ho something like this? Last night Taylor wrote some dialogue that popped into my head (as I have been doing lately), and this afternoon Taylor fleshed it out a bit. This is more in line with a reaction to the shirt + the Instagram photo, but still, same idea and same crazy.

Lando’s just finishing toweling his hair when his phone starts ringing. It’s nine in the morning— probably Max calling to see where he is and if he can have another fifteen minutes on their scheduled meet-up time.

The caller ID isn’t Max though. It’s Martin, a selfie of the two of them from Australia smiling up at Lando from where his phone is sitting on the bathroom counter. Lando quickly counts back the ten-hour time difference and is surprised Martin’s even still awake after the long day he’s had.

Beggars can’t be choosers though. Lando slides his finger across the answer button and presses the speakerphone before Martin has a chance to say anything. “Hello?” 

Lando directs his attention back to his reflection in the mirror and sets about sorting out the tangled mop on top of his head.

“Are you trying to get me to out myself?” Martin asks point-blank, sounding semi-serious. Given the hour, he could also just be tired.

Lando’s fingers pause in his hair, and he glances back down at the phone as if it holds all the answers. “In what way?” It clicks in the few seconds between Lando finishing his question and Martin speaking again. He could easily correct himself but finds he wants to hear Martin admit to whatever embarrassing reaction he had to Lando’s post.

“Those pictures? In the shirt you stole from me? You did that on purpose.”

Lando can’t help the self-satisfied and questioning hum that makes it past his lips. Because Martin's right, almost. He didn't originally set out with the intention to take the photos wearing that shirt, but Lando woke up missing Martin a little harder in his jet-lagged state than he was prepared to. So, he shrugged on the shirt he’d stolen on the tail end of their France trip even though everyone would inevitably trace the origin of it. (Lando had caught Max trying to pretend he wasn’t looking at first, but rather than put him out of his misery, Lando let him stew.)

And then they'd stumbled across the new art that hadn't been in the graffiti alley last year. Max had looked at him knowingly, suggestively, this time not hiding what he was trying to infer, and Lando had taken the bait. 

Only later, as he was looking through the photos, up early again because of jet lag, did Lando decide fuck it. 

He and Martin talked about their plans for the year while they were in Vietnam, zipped inside their tent for the night and alone with their thoughts. They're not hiding anymore per se, themselves or their relationship. Lando’s finished with not just posting whatever the hell he wants because of what it’ll eventually look like. 

Hide in plain sight, Martin agreed.

Now Martin groans somewhat dramatically. “Menno had to take my phone. My fingers were hovering over the keyboard for too long and he caught me.”

“They were not.” Because there’s no way. If Lando didn’t know better, he’d think Martin was reacting to the more blatant thirst traps in his .mov post.

“Lando, baby, have you seen the photos? And you didn't warn me. What do you expect me to do when you’re sitting there looking comfortable and proud like that?” 

Just the implication makes Lando's face warm and his chest ache. It’s at least another month before they see each other in China, and the days feel exponentially long looking at a calendar. “I expect you to be a normal human who doesn’t feel like risking it all over an aesthetic picture. At least wait until I post another thirst trap,” Lando muses. He turns to prop his hip up against the counter and picks up the phone to bring it closer to his face to pull up Instagram.

Most of the comments are normal, taking the aesthetic at face value. A few people play into the tone of the bubblegum pink hearts. A few more seem to have the nerve to call him on what he’s trying to do.

“Post a thirst trap and see what happens.”

The smile that spreads across Lando’s face hurts his cheeks. “Maybe that’s in tomorrow’s dump. Guess you’re gonna have to go to bed to find out.”

A huff of laughter from Martin’s side of the phone might as well be music to Lando’s ears. “Fine, you freak. You can tell me about everything when I’m not about to fall asleep. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Can’t wait. Talk to you later.” The line goes quiet, much to Lando’s disappointment. He swears he could talk to Martin forever and not get bored— about everything and nothing at all. When Martin calls him at the end of his day, rested and recovered, Lando’s sure he’ll hear all about how the half marathon went. He’ll be on the brink of passing out himself, but he won’t care. He’ll lay there listening and counting down the days until next time.

And that one time they talked a weird amount about child birthday parties in arcades…

It’s the early 90s. Soccer wristbands are in. Frank has dark hair. Look at the prizes in the background. Look at the clothes. Everyone’s wearing a goddamn flannel. That’s not Rob’s kid playing some kid. That’s. Rob’s kid playing Mac.

Wrt to #shirtgate, those pics were taken back in NYC. We know he was with her at the time do why is it such a big deal now? K didn't have someone to put the shirt on so she asked him, the pic was probably in her team's inventory in case they needed a size example. We will probably never see him wear her merch, and based on their vibes in NYC plus her drastic changes, I suspect something went down recently. He hasn't made any moves in public to support her, he squirms at the mention of her name, and lately he has not even wanted to touch her. Her friend, Camila and her bf don't even follow him on ig, he doesn't follow them either, and we know he still follows people from time to time. So this whole relationship is not as deep as people think it is. K just wanted to hype up her merch nobody cares about, that's why she posted the worst reference pic in history.

You spoke the truth, dear anon. He doesn't even follow Presley or Rande but he still follows Lily Rose and Stella Hudgens lol Yes, he follows Cindy, but for all I know he can even follow her from before the relationship with Kaia, she is still Cindy Crawford (I used to follow her before I learned how much that family sucks). And yes, he follows someone time to time which it means that it's him and not his team to run his account in those cases. He doesn't follow none of her friends, Camila is just an example (Charlotte and Travis are others). He doesn't even follow Taylor Swift but shippers claim he is a BIG fan of her lmfao That pic is from past weeks and apparently a disaster between them it happened in those days. The last pap pics are alarming more than usual.
