If 1+1 = 2 and 4+4 = 8, WTF is this?
For platonic soulmates, they give married since 1964 vibes. For business partners, they give everything I do, I do it for you vibes. For friends, they give I will always love you vibes. These people are in love!

It's still bothering me how badly Julian Fellowes completely screwed up the timeline for Peggy's family, given the new information in S3E3. If her father was free and able to move north only after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 (at the earliest; it's possible that that wouldn't have been the case until the Civil War was over entirely in 1865), and assuming that it took him like 5+ years to undergo his pharmacy education and start his business (which it probably would have), then that puts Arthur and Dorothy's marriage around the late 1860's at the earliest and more likely the early 1870's. (I get the sense that her parents never would have agreed to her marrying someone poor and newly free, so he would have had to be at least somewhat well established by the time they married.) But that is literally impossible since Peggy is written as being in her twenties in 1882-1884, making her birth sometime before 1863, way before her parents could have even imagined meeting.

Let's say your family was sitting down around the kitchen table, trying to balance your checkbook. If you looked at the math after the first month's statement and found out that the guy holding the calculator was wrong 40% of the time, would you let him keep going through the rest of your statements, or would you decide that he was a fraud who was wasting your time and your money and that he should not be allowed anywhere near your bank account, ever again?

See, now I'm super confused (and high).
There's this
where some crazy Jennanite stole Natalie's story photo off her 2023 IG in which she wished her eldest kid Mariah a Happy 32nd birthday. Natalie uses Comic Sans in her Stories, and I've seen this capped several times in December 2023 and have seen several 32nd birthday wishes around that time in 2023 like this one
so I've no doubt (or so I thought) of its veracity; her birthday is in December 1991. Mariah Ortega will have turned 33 last month. I'm pretty sure someone's Ortega edit on TikTok made me look into that since they had typed that Mariah was 33. Which to me seemed impossible unless Natalie was a teen mom, which she was if this is true...a Dec 1991 delivery would've made Natalie barely 17 when Ed-going-on-19 got her 馃ぐ馃徑. I'd registered this fact, since Aliyah also seems to strongly defend teen mothers whenever such a topic comes up in yap/Lives. The following pic's a little weird...his eldest daughter looks old enough to be his partner, but that is true for a lot of us young Latinos/Latinas with baby faces. And this here isn't even a case of a "baby face" for Edward, if this is 2007 then he's 35 and still young
I'm still feeling gaslit bc Aliyah was the cuter kid.
Yet tonight last night on Live, someone asked Aliyah how old her eldest sibling is and she said 31. (Twice, if I was hearing correctly.) She stated that her oldest sibling/sister was 11 when she was born (putting Mariah's birth year in 1993), which doesn't make any damn sense given her mother's Story.
What is going on here. Is it entirely possible that the girl doesn't know how old her oldest sister is? Or are the fans just mistaken?

Printer ran out of ink by the time it got to Markus 馃拃
This is what, around 2005 (Aliyah and her brother look to be around a yeah old...and if you notice through these pics, she's that kid, the one who's always frowning and tough to get to smile LOL though she's making up for that on her TT). That eldest doesn't look 12 to me. This TikTokker seems to have gotten it correct, from the OG Mom info/IG Story cap

>_>
#i think we should believe mom's post since uhm natalie should know when she popped out the kid lol#the ortegas#aliyah ortega#said that#mariah ortega#was 31#also#isaac who's your father#lol#the math isn't mathing#the math ain't mathing aliyah#why would you say she's 31#if natalie said 32 last year 馃槶#jenna ortega#and her fucking weird ass family#mariah and aliyah are cute#no crit here just confusion...fr like who are we supposed to believe natalie or aliyah#aliyah has been known to gaslight but she didn't seem like she was trying to last night nor would there be reason to so...???

Wikipedia shenanigans: Apparently, Donald's younger twin sister was born 19 years before he was.

I thought his account had been hacked? Doesn't seem to be having trouble logging in now to like half naked pictures of himself defending him from evil fans does he?

there are 600 people/blogs following me here right now! which gives me conflicting feelings because... on one hand, yay, that's a lot of people... on the other hand, I only get asks and likes from like five of you max... and none of my han/leia fics has even 200 kudos on ao3, let alone 600, even though I've been writing han/leia fic for the past seven years... so my question is ???
#authors want you to interact with us fyi!!#but if it's not fear or shyness then i don't know#i don't think that many people can be bots because i report them#and that's a lot to be deactivated blogs although some might be#*sigh*#if i were writing for the numbers i'd have quit a long time ago lol#sorry i didn't mean to whine; it's just kind of baffling to me#the math isn't mathing

Got a p***** add for a movie about stories of detransitioners. Bruh, there is literally not a bigger waste of money possible. I thought the YouTube algorithms were targeted. How are you advertising transphobic propaganda to a queer person?

what else gets me is how can you call yourself a fan of someone who you're convinced will never work again. that doesn't sound like fan behavior, actually quite the opposite, it's exactly what antis or haters say. so why are you repeating them and calling yourself a fan?
