Re: The Vacation Decoy

Last week we were speculating that L, N & BN flew to Cork for the Fastnet festival (or met up in Cork if L flew separately) and then left from there to Australia (see original post below***)

Today, we get confirmation it is probable...

1) A Primetime Emmys article came out today that states, for the interview, N is in her childhood bedroom in Galway over Zoom ⬇️

• The S3 Bridgy Emmys consideration announcement was on May 1st***

• The interview was likely scheduled after the Emmys consideration announcement was made, so sometime in May

2) W/ the above, N was probably in Galway after the Fastnet Festival in Cork; from the Baftas Nom. Party - on, her schedule was packed:

• Baftas Nom Party - April 24

• Cannes - April 26-28

• Olaplex dinner - May 1

• Miami F1 Grand Prix - May 4-5

• Baftas pre party/ ceremony - May 8 & 11

• Snap Forward at SHFH - May 15-16

• Fastnet Festival - May 23-25

• Portobello Market - May 31 *allegedly* 🚫

3) N may have had some free days pre-Fastnet, but they were still shooting S4 and L was also possibly in WM reshoots.

She only seemed to arrive in Ireland on May 23 for the start of the festival ⬇️

• Cork airport personnel stated she arrived from the UK, as did "The Irish Examiner"

• There are no direct flights from Galway to Cork - only connections i.e. that go back through London (4+ hrs), so if she'd been in Galway pre-Fastnet, she likely would've driven to Cork not flown

• The Fastnet festival is 1.5 hrs from the Cork airport, so staging a photo if she didn't land there would've been out of the way (not impossible just improbable)

4) A few other points:

• N was allegedly seen the same day as RZ at the Portobello Market on May 31 but RZ has been in London since *at least* May 3, per a photo for an "Evita" meet & greet, so it could've been & was likely another Sat. ⬇️

• Ms. A has posted a few pics of the ocean (TY @jmuz09 for asking Sunny where) - perhaps it's to indicate she's on vacation w/L. But L never said he was going on vacation, only N so she's basically outing them lol.

5) Conclusion: If N being in her childhood bedroom is accurate, the interview was probably post-Fastnet, reducing the likelihood she went back to London before talking off for Adelaide w/ baba & hubby. That makes the Portobello Market a travel decoy, and for whom might she need a travel decoy... ???

Rare Pair Bingo 2025

For March and April @tolkienpinupcalendar is hosting Rare Pair Bingo! This is a bingo style event. In total there will be three cards: one with the rare pairs, one with smut prompts, and one with non-smut prompts. We included a bingo card with non-smut prompts because sometimes you just want your blorbos to hold hands. We will be reblogging and sharing content from this event for all of March and April. Do not feel any pressure to complete all the prompts within one month (and don’t feel any pressure to finish all the prompts!).

How to play:

Option 1: If you have one rare pair you really like or one rare pair that really speaks to you, take that pair and use the prompts to create something for them.

Option 2: You can use all the bingo cards with different pairings and different prompts for your creations!

Any fic, art, moodboard, playlist etc. will be included and we are happy to reblog!

Additional rules:

You can use multiple prompts for one creation.  These can come from different cards (pairing + smut prompt + non-smut prompt) or come from the same card (pairing + smut prompt 1 + smut prompt 2, etc.). How you use the prompt cards is up to you!

If you want to play option 1 (only one pairing but using the prompt cards) but your pairing is not on the list: No problem! Just use the free space. If your pairing is a rare pair but not included, we would love to hear about it!  

How do I know if my pairing is a rare pair?  If you feel it is a rare pair it’s a rare pair. Our bingo list came from a google form that one of the mods created. Some of them have 300 fics on AO3 and some have less than 25 (Borry. The answer is Borry, Boromir/Merry and I need more signed @frosticenow). We did not want to have any strict definitions for rare pairs to keep it open. 

To get a bingo you need to have a line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) filled and this can include the free space. To get a super bingo (we did not know what else to call it) you need to fill up a card, only one card. If you fill up more than one you get more than one super bingo! 

As always, if you want us to reblog please:

tag us @tolkienpinupcalendar

use the tag #tpcrarepairbingo

Submit to our smut-missions form

Add the work to our AO3 collection

The most important rule is to have fun! We look forward to seeing what you create!

[pjsk-story-summaries]

Want to know everything that's ever happened in Project Sekai but don't have time to read all those stories? Guess what! For the low, low price of "it seems fun", I'll be summarizing every single event!

Feel free to request any summaries or card stories you'd like to see summarized. You may also submit your own summaries, if you'd like! Use the forms found in this post to do so :)

You can also join our Discord, where we can collaborate on writing summaries and manage requests! (or just come say hi :) )

If you have a question about any of the stories as well, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer!

If you'd like to use any of these summaries as part of a project (i.e. video essay, character analysis, etc.), you are more than welcome to! Just please credit this blog when you do so, since I do put a lot of work into each.

I do my best to get summaries out regularly, but I am a busy college student doing this in their free time, so please do be patient!

Masterpost links below the cut. All summaries will be tagged by unit, character appearances, and special type, if applicable.

Spencer Reid A-Z Masterlist

these are written as a story with each letter being a new chapter. I recommend reading in chronological order for story purposes, but these could also work as one shots.

unless explicitly stated, all my fics ignore anything related to jeid, and in my universe, maeve simply does not exist. i do like the idea that spencer and ethan may have had a romance in college

the following events are removed from canon: anything related to a jeid romance, maeve (i just can't have reader and spencer break up for her character to have her moment)

the following events are what i believe to have happened before this timeline began: spencer and ethan had a small (non-sexual) romance in college which is the real reason why they hadn't spoken in years, spencer is a virgin, lila archer events did occur, however i do not believe he had real feelings for her, he was just doing his job (i do think he enjoyed the kiss though, because who wouldn't)

I’ve put them in a timeline and they are further categorized by emojis

April 2025 Caption Contest!

It's a new month so it's time for the April caption contest! This month's caption will be this panel from War Goddess #3 which is just so weird without context that I thought people would have some pretty creative ideas!

So caption it! What's happening? What are they saying or doing? Captions can be just a short caption, a dialogue or narration, even a song if you want, whatever you want to submit!

As usual, I'll choose the best/funniest captions for winners! There will be Steam codes as prizes for the winners, but you also don't need to play for a prize, you can just play for fun. 

Captions can be submitted here using DM, reblog, or reply, using Disqus comments on the main site, or by email at eschergirls@gmail.com.

The caption contest will run for 2 weeks until the end of Friday, April 25 and winners will be posted on Sunday, April 27!

Good luck everybody!
