Dear life,

I am opening myself up to the full experience of life, inviting it to engage with me in all its forms. I want to embrace every moment, every challenge, and every joy with an open heart. Life, I’m ready to interact with you—not just passively, but with intention and presence. I welcome the unknown, the lessons, and the beauty you offer. Let's dance together, and I'll do my best to meet you with curiosity and courage.

YOUR FAVORITE ANON HERE

I've been thinking of the recently released pap pics and the circulation they are making from DM to E! News to People Magazine and every gossip site in between. And I have THOUGHTS...

First thing to remember: Nicola has always told us to pay attention and listen to the story SHE IS TELLING YOU and not the one you read on gossip sites.

Back in August, Nicola attended the music festival on Sunday, August 18th. We did not see any papped pics of her and JD until one week later on Sunday, August 25th when the Irish Sun published an online article. I believe that the pap company may have reached out to try and sell the pics to Nic's team first and and when they would not pay the (typically) exorbitant fee, they may have negotiated for the company to not allow them to be released until 8/25. This was the day before the Kate Spade release which would help bury the pictures. It also gave Nic an opportunity on Thursday, August 22nd to update her insta grid with the "it's all yours" post for Luke. This is a subtle nod to fans that HER STORY includes Luke.

Here we are now. I am of the belief that these pictures were taken in late September (pre-NYC). I think someone may have been following Nic and JD with an agenda to obtain these pictures for nefarious reasons. The photos were taken and were held for a "rainy day." It is important to note there is an entire faction of the "fandom" actively rooting against Nicola and Luke and going to extreme lengths to collect evidence for this Nicola and JD narrative. On Wednesday, October 16th, Nicola's TIME article was released online and included an entire paragraph about Luke including a line about people wanting them to get married. This took the internet by storm and I can only assume angered those with the opposing narrative. So they have the photos released. Again, I'm sure the photos were attempted to be shopped to her team and they once again declined with the caveat of one week til release. The next four days include a media blitz on the internet. Interviews and clips from the S3 World Tour are re-released along with never been seen footage. Interviewers were conversing with fans about the chemistry and love between Nicola and Luke. This all culminated on Monday, October 21st when Nicola surprised everyone with a selfie of her and Luke. I do NOT believe this was the "S4 Polin Selfie" - this was purely just a spur of the moment selfie between two people in love. And I believe this was a repeat of her "it's all yours" situation from August and she was telling everyone that HER STORY IS LUKE. Tuesday, October 22nd ends with Nicola posting a random story about a "paper moon" which can also be used to describe a fake relationship or situation - an ominous warning to all fans involved.

Once the pictures were dropped by Deuxmoi on Wednesday, October 23rd, tags on Nicola's instagram were actively being deleted. The night ended with 10 pictures from the pap drop remaining in her tagged section and more of them were deleted the following day. By end of the day on Thursday 10/24, the "date night" pics were spread to all the major gossip sites including E! News, Entertainment Tonight, and People Magazine. All of these sources cited the pictures as being taken on different dates: Monday 10/22, Tuesday 10/23, the week of 10/15 - the true mark of a sketchy situation.

I want to end this by acknowledging that I know the fandom is frustrated and upset but I think it's important to not feel "duped" by Nicola. I do not believe she was involved in what occurred with these pictures. She was purely walking home with her FRIEND and they may have been a little closer but I think that can be chalked up to him helping her and covering her through the scary situation - imagine if you were walking home one night and got ambushed by cameras on a side street! Her team did work on the front end with the media push of the old clips and she posted a pic with Luke for everyone. At this point, they're just letting her name be out there and living up to the old adage of "no press is bad press." I PROMISE YOU that this is not a PR situation that they will not be able to get out of. There will be a plan in place and she will get through this.

And from this point on, it IS important to remember the following: PAY ATTENTION TO THE STORY NICOLA IS TELLING YOU AND NOT THE STORY THAT DEUXMOI AND THE GOSSIP SITES ARE TELLING YOU. And if you feel the need to spiral, it might be time to take some time off away from social media because none of this affects any of us personally. We just want Nicola and Luke to be happy and healthy!

My favorite anon never misses.

Make you sure you all study this.

I WILL be testing you on this later.

🌟 New

Posting in communities no longer counts towards your overall 250 posts/day limit (500 for those with Tumblr Premium), instead we’ve made posting in communities a new, separate 250 posts/day limit (also 500 for those with Tumblr Premium).

We’ve launched an option to make communities free to join and added a “Copy link” option to the community menu to make opening the floodgates even easier.

If you’re banned from a community, you’ll now see “You’ve been banned” instead of “There’s nothing here.”

In a community post’s meatballs menu, “Delete” has been replaced with “Moderate post,” where you can now select reasons for why you’re removing the post and add an optional note. At this moment, the removal reasons you provide won’t be visible to anyone yet. In the future, the person who posted the removed post into the community will see the removal reason as well as any included note.

On public communities, all users can now access the list of admins and moderators.

🛠 Fixed

For a short time Friday and Saturday last week, posts that were moderated in communities were still surfacing in the feed. We’ve fixed the issue, and moderated posts are now filtered out of the feed again.

We fixed a bug that was preventing communities from being deleted when the last member left, and we’ve cleaned up any communities that had no members. The names they were using are freed up for new communities.

We’ve made sure that community notifications are displayed properly, and with the proper icon, across all platforms.

We found an issue that briefly prevented Tumblr Premium users from fully creating communities. This has been fixed, and all affected communities have been fully created.

We fixed an issue that briefly removed the ability to backdate posts late last week.

🚧 Ongoing

No ongoing incidents to speak of right now.

++ daily prompts list!

here is the list of daily prompts for bucktommy positivity week, starting on friday!! as a reminder, absolutely any kind of creation counts towards taking part in this week if you'd like to; fics, drabbles, art, headcanon posts, gifs, etc, as long as it is a bucktommy-positive creation. if the prompt for a certain day doesn't speak to you, you're also welcome to interpret them in a different way! just remember to @ us in whatever you make!!

friday august 16th — what they love most about each other

saturday august 17th — nicknames and terms of endearment

sunday august 18th — meeting the friends and family

monday august 19th — hobbies and dates

tuesday august 20th — outsider perspective

wednesday august 21st — kids and pets

thursday august 22nd — soulmates/string of fate

we will reblog all the creations we're tagged in, and post a fic list for ao3 works when the event is over, so make sure to follow us!

below the cut are some prompts and suggestions for each day, if you want a bit of additional inspiration, but you're of course free to interpret the prompts absolutely however you like! just try to remember to focus on all the positive things we, buck, tommy, and everyone who loves them thinks about their relationship :))

what they love most about each other - are they telling this to each other, or waxing poetic to a friend about what they love about their boyfriend? is it early in their dating life? their wedding vows? on a happy day or combating a moment of insecurity?

nicknames and terms of endearment - we all love tommy's 'evan' voice, but does buck have an equivalent? do they use any other pet names? when do they call each other 'babe' for the first time? is it cute and affectionate, or does one of them have a ridiculous nickname from high school that the other finds out about and teases them?

meeting the friends and family - is this an expansion of canon meetings or the wedding scene? is it buck meeting tommy's oldest friends, or doting sister? is it tommy having a first proper couples-double-date with buck and madney or bathena? an au where they met a different way, set up by a friend, or at an event with the firefam? and what positive things do their friends and family have to say about bucktommy?

hobbies and dates - what do they like to do together in their spare time? movie nights? hikes or working out? cooking together? have they taken up a random joint couples' hobby like puzzles or gardening? what does a typical weekend off look like for them?

outsider perspective - do the 118 notice changes in buck or tommy after they get together? do tommy's team, friends, nosy neighbour? do bucktommy have a secret and their friends are trying to figure it out? does a stranger notice them on a coffee date and take notice of how sweet they are to each other?

kids and pets - babysitting/petsitting for friends or family? we all know buck's adorable with kids, is tommy obsessed with watching him with jee? are they discussing their future plans for kids? deciding what pet to get when they move in together? is it an au where they meet through their dogs at the park, or as single dads?

soulmates and string of fate - soulmate or red string au? au with magic elements? or canon verse discussing if they believe in the concept of soulmates, calling each other soulmate, watching a romantic movie, discussing the string of fate events that led to them meeting?

The headline of this article from Naver apparently says:

‘Are You Sure?!’ BTS's Jimin and Jungkook, A Romantic Journey Spanning Three Seasons

🫣😳

And that’s not everything, the article also says:

The youthful and romantic travels of BTS members Jimin and Jungkook will be revealed.

On the 22nd, the production team of the Disney+ original content 'Are You Sure?!' released a teaser trailer. The unforgettable memories left by BTS's 'Busan Boys,' Jimin and Jungkook, before their enlistment arouse curiosity.

'Are You Sure?!' is a Disney+ original series that captures the unpredictable travels of BTS's lively members Jimin and Jungkook in 2023.

The teaser trailer released this time briefly showcases various memories Jimin and Jungkook made in travel destinations in the U.S., Korea, and Japan. From the hot summer in the U.S. to the autumn in Jeju Island, and the winter in Sapporo, Japan, the two enjoy the charm and food of diverse travel destinations. The teaser particularly highlights their vibrant chemistry, with laughter never ceasing even in trivial moments, making viewers look forward to the series.

Jimin and Jungkook gaze at the sunset together on a yacht, run through snowy cities and in the rain with bright smiles, and enjoy sports activities like climbing and kayaking with energy that brings smiles to the viewers.

Additionally, they show various charming moments that leave no room for boredom, such as grilling meat while camping, dancing comfortably at their lodgings, and brushing their teeth side by side, raising anticipation for the main broadcast.

'Are You Sure?!', which peeks into Jimin and Jungkook's sweet memories, will premiere on Disney+ on August 8, with a total of eight episodes released every Thursday.

On With the Show

Episode 10 - We Are Gone

Episode 10 is full of action and, thankfully, will not make me ramble too much until after Silna rescues Crozier. If we generously accept that the previous locations and date I gave are good (or good enough), then we’ll situate the first three quarters of the episode pretty easily.

So, for the end of our tragedy, we start in a place we’ve been before;

 Location 19 - Mutineer’s Camp (68.73, -97.99)

Date: August 16th 1848

Nighttime - None

Daylight - 17h 26 min

Twilight -6h 34 min

Sunrise: 3:51 am, Sunset: 9:17 pm

The Episode starts with Hickey “welcoming” Crozier into his camp and we learn a clue about the date. “It’s a Wednesday”, followed, back at Hospital Camp, by Lt. Little who let us know that it has been a day since Crozier was taken by Des Voeux and Co.

So, the first question I have is: Did Des Voeux camp out the night? With what tent and what supply? They did not appear to have dragged anything with them. Perhaps they walked all night but that would have made for a very slow walk, probably, since we established that the Mutineers had camped only 6 miles away from the Hospital Camp and we’ve established previously that a slow pace for walking would be around 2mph.

Let’s address the first point. “It’s a Wednesday”. Well, my friends, I had previously placed Crozier’s being ambushed on August 10th and… that’s a thursday.

Therefore, I need to make a revision to Part 2, I’m afraid… I am not overly worried about this, however. I had based my timeline with very large stroke and I could either adjust that everything happens 2 days earlier that I previously said it would or 5 days later. Considering that the Tuunbaq battle happens during twilight and ends just as the sun is about the rise, and that was a couple of days later, I would be inclined to move everything forward 5 days. This would also give more “nighttime” for Hodgson to annoy Goodsir with his Catholic story… But also, this would explain why LeVesconte was feeling desperate enough to propose abandoning the ill, again. Time is flying by and they’re just… sitting… in that camp…

Therefore! Crozier comes into the Mutineer Camp on August 16th :) and we’re moving the day of Bridgens’ death on August 15th.

August 16th would also become the end for Mr. Goodsir.

And we are BACK at Hospital Camp for Le Vesconte little mutiny and, I have to say, I was so, so proud of Edward Little for trying to do the right thing… in a situation when there are no right decisions...

Location 17 - Hospital Camp (68.68, -97.74)

Date: August 16th 1848

Nighttime - None

Daylight - 17h 26min

Twilight - 6h 34 min

Sunrise: 3:50 am, Sunset: 9:16 pm

From Le Vesconte’s summary of their decision, this is also the day they leave Hospital Camp and, therefore, the day of Jopson’s death :(

Location 21 - Tuunbaq Battle (68.67, -97.84)

Date: August 18th 1848

Nighttime - None

Daylight - 17h 07 min

Twilight -6h 53 min

Sunrise: 4:00 am, Sunset: 9:06 pm

This is the next day, August 17th to August 18th (Tuunbaq dies shortly before the sun rises). 

Twilight would start at 9:19 pm but we started the day with a Goodsir breakfast and the question I would like to ask is this:

Did Hickey just wait until like… midnight to get them to start pulling that sledge? It looks like they did not come directly from the camp but from a little bit further away and maybe they chose to come at it from that angle because of the slope… Anyway, I’ll propose that, yes Hickey chose to wait until midnight to make them start pulling, making the battle happen on August 18th!

This would also mean that it would have taken almost 18 hours for Goodsir’s poison to take effect?

We’ll mark the location as the same as the Mutineer’s camp since they are so close to one another.

And now:

Crozier Recovers

 Location 19 - Mutineer’s Camp (68.73, -97.99)

Date: October 2nd 1848

Nighttime - 6h 20 min

Daylight - 10h 56 min

Twilight - 6 h44 min

Sunrise: 6:52 am, Sunset: 5:48 pm

The timeline for an amputation’s recovery are what I’ll need to use to check on when it is that Crozier can walk again.

Let’s start with the stump: I note that when Crozier announces to Silna his intention to try and find his men, the stump doesn’t have any kind of coverings. Meaning it would have been closed or scared well enough to not need it anymore.

(PS Looking for a screenshot of when he wakes up)

As you can imagine I haven’t found a lot of information on the web concerning how long an amputation would take to heal if it was made in the middle of the arctic wilderness with a hunting knife and no modern medical care… But there are some beautiful papers out there about how amputation being so ancient (31 000 years ago) proved that caring for our ill was very much a way of life even back then. Anyway, according to Myhealth.Alberta.ca, a below the knee amputation would take up to 4  to 8 weeks to be able to return to work with modern care… it took Mr. Blanky a measly 2 weeks of recovery before he could walk the half mile between Terror and Erebus after his own amputation and damn, if this is not the proof that Mr. Blanky was the GOAT. 

Mr. Blanky also had the advantage of being cared for by a doctor (although, 19th century Doctor…), which Crozier does not. Based on this, I will accept that it would be reasonable for Crozier, who lives in the same world of superhumans as Thomas Blanky, might have needed the full 4 weeks to recover. At least.

We also know from our analysis of some hair growth for episode 9 that it takes 1 month to grow half an inch of beard. Honestly, I’d say this looks like at least 1 month and a half growth…

Also, to find out the approximate date, Crozier tell us that it’s “too late” to be this far North. No doubt he means that they are most certainly veering into the colder months and that he knows that if they would need to reach the Netsilik winter camp soon. It’s definitely not August anymore.

Finally, we know that the endgame is, I assume, Starvation Cove (See location 25). Starvation Cove, we know, 

I am going a little bit ahead of myself, I know, but I feel this is important to establish the timeline because Starvation Cove is a known location, I do not need to guess where it is. I can already calculate that it is, when taking the probably path the survivors took (based on the 1927 admiralty map), 50 miles away from the Hospital Camp.

We established, at the end of part 2, that the speed they would have gone at would have been about 1 mile per day. Maybe after dropping the desks and so many tents (there was only one boat in Little’s last camp), they could have gained a little bit of speed. Let’s say 1.5 miles per day. This would mean that if they were going at their best pace, they could have reached Starvation Cove in a month.

And, then, they would have had to stop, too exhausted to move on,and they would have known hunger enough to resort to the last ressource…

I also want to point out that there is a fine layer of snow on the tents and the crates when Crozier reaches it. And there is frost on Poor Lt. Little’s face. So, here is the thing about snow: it melts when exposed to the sun at near freezing temperature, if it had fallen on surfaces that will absorb heat. In order for the frost to have remained on Edward’s face and for the barrels to be frost and snow covered (lightly), my canadian nose tells the temperature may have been closer to 23F (-5C)  than at freezing (32F or 0C). Which would be average for the beginning of October (according to timeanddate.com) rather than September.

I think I will accept that even though Blanky, bless his face, recovered from an amputation in 2 weeks, it could have taken Crozier 6 or 7 weeks and based on the time one would need to travel to Starvation Cove (probably 1 week for Crozier and Silna if we account for Crozier’s recovering speed I would like to established at 10 miles per day and also accounting for the fact that he looked MUCH improved by the time they reached Starvation Cove, which requires time) and between 30 to 40 days for Little, this would be the right timeframe for the travel and starvation to occur...

This would date Crozier and Silna’s departure from the Mutineer’s Camp around October 2nd 

And now, Crozier and Silna gets on their way to the next stop:

Location 17 - Hospital Camp (68.68, -97.74)

Date: October 2nd 1848

Nighttime - 6h 20 min

Daylight - 10h 58 min

Twilight - 6 h42 min

Sunrise: 6:50 am, Sunset: 5:47 pm

The hospital camp being, as established, 6 miles from the Mutineer camps, they would have made it there on the first day. And probably around noon if they had started to walk at first light. Crozier would have been slower than Silna and may have been able to walk only 10 to 15 miles per day. For the first couple of days, I expect that he could have walked closer to 10 miles than 15. I also would like to think that he would have taken the time to bury Jopson, making him the Gladman Point Skeleton (NdLe-16)

Location 22 - Tulloch Point (68.56, -97.09) (Not shown in show)

(Crozier)

Date: October 5th 1848

Nighttime - 6h 44 min

Daylight - 10h 41 min

Twilight - 6 h35 min

Sunrise: 6:54am, Sunset: 5:27 pm

(Lt Little)

Date: August 30th 1848

Nighttime - None

Daylight - 15h 22 min

Twilight - 8 h38 min

Sunrise: 4:46 am, Sunset: 8:08 pm

On their way to Starvation Cove, they would have had to cross Douglas Bay, a 3 miles wide little bay near the southern part of KWI.  It’s 26 miles from the Mutineers Camp (Which Crozier departed on October 2nd) and 20 miles from the Hospital Camp (Which Lt. Little departed on August 16th)

At a recovering pace of 10 miles per day for Crozier/Silna, they would have reached Douglas Bay at the end of their 3rd day of walking and I suspect that even though they sitll had some miles in them, they would have started fresh the next morning to cross the bay (Oct 6th).

At an average pace of 1.5 miles a day, Little and Le Vesconte would have reached Douglas Bay in 14 days and probably would have waited until the beginning of the 15th day to cross.

Location 23 - The Library (68.48, -96.58)

Date: October 9th 1848

This is the place where Little and Le Vesconte dropped all the books, what looks to be a desk and 2 side tables? (one would think that they’d have left that behind before Jopson :( )

I think that at this point they are getting much closer to the southernmost point of KWI, Booth Point. For 2 reasons: 1- Crozier seems to have recovered enough to be walking straight and without much difficulty and with enough strength to help pull Silna’s sled and 2- You can see they are close to the strait, like, right next to it. Which means that they would have been making ready to cross, which could be the reason why this is where they abandoned all the non essentials. If Little and Co crossed in mid-september, as the timeline I supposed when discussing Crozier’s recovery would lead me to believe, they would have crossed on thin ice, making it more necessary than ever to lighten the load. And because I started this journey to figure out how to reconcile the show with the locations of where relics were found, I think I would like this to be quite near River Piffer… you know… not too far from where they would have buried Le Vesconte… And we have for location 23 (68.48, -96.58)

I think Le Vesconte and Little would have rushed to cross Douglas Bay as to not be on ice when it is not cold enough yet to assure them it wouldn’t crack under their weight. They would probably have pushed to cross on the same day, making it a whooping 3 miles in one day. This would certainly have exhausted the men, bringing them closer to their demise. They would cross on August 31st, and start again on September 1st for the remaining 10 miles until location 23, probably at a slightly slower pace of 1.25 miles a day and reached the Library on September 9th.

TO BE NOTED: since 2009, the skeleton found and believed to be Le Vesconte by C.F. Halls in 1869 has been reidentified as Harry Goodsir. But! Well! You know!

The Route to Starvation Cove: I am still going to take from the 1927’s admiralty map there and accept that they crossed the Simpson Strait near Todd Island. One of the reason why I would agree with it is because their goal was to get to Back Fish River. Upon reaching Booth Pt, they might have realised that, well, that’s it. That’s the end of KWI. There is no land bridge connecting it to the Adelaide Peninsula. At that point, they had to cross but, before that? Well, they maybe had a chance that they could have kept pulling their sledge on firm ground and not attempt what might have been a frozen strait or a dangerous trek on unstable ice, especially in september. They would have attempted to cross at the nearest point possible from the river they were trying to get to. So, instead of simply crossing at the narrowest part of the Simpson Strait, they kept on going until they were facing Todd Island

Todd Island is 7.5 miles from the Library.

If we say that unloading their boat made the pace easier and back at 1.5 miles per day, then, Little would have reached this point in 5 days on September 14th and Crozier and Silna on the same day as they reached the Library, October 9th.

We know where this is :(

The thing about Starvation cove is that if we accept that Franklin’s men crossed at Todd Island, they would have been going SW when they should have been going SE to reach Back Fish River.

I would like to suggest that upon knowing that they would have to cross a large expense of ice in mid september ( which could have been potentially perilous as the ice was probably made fragile by the summer and it was not cold enough yet to secure the way), they… simply chose to go toward the point of land they could see. Which was this cute little point. From there, they followed its coast until their last stand.

Now, more daunting than anything, this is a monstrous 9 miles to cross. For Lt. Little and his unfortunate companions who I’ve recently reduced to a pace of 1.5 miles a day, this would have meant they needed 6 days to cross at that pace! I think they would have deemed it too dangerous and would have pushed, same as they did for Douglas Bay and made it 2.5 miles a day (crossing in 4 days - Sept 18). Once again, this would have taken from their reserves all their reserves and they would have slowed down to 1.2 miles a day until they reached Starvation cove, 7 miles away from their initial landing on the Adelaide Peninsula. From Todd Island to their last resting place, they would have walked another 10 days. It is September 28th 1848 and they have been hauling the boats for 5 months. They total mileage would have been between 150 and 170 miles with my proposed route from Terror Camp to Starvation cove.

Crozier and Silna would have been able to cross and reach Starvation Cove in a day, reaching it on October 10th, 12 days after Lt. Little and what was left of the crew.

OTHER LOCATIONS

Location 26 - Netsilik Summer Camp (68.66, -95.932)

For this one, I want to believe it is Gjoa Haven.

From Terror Camp, this would have been a 100 miles journey for Silna. If she took her time and made a comfortable 10 miles a day, she would have walked from TC to GH in 10 days or so. 2 weeks. But she probably footed it because it seems like she wanted her people to help, in some capacity, the Frankliners (which prompted the unnamed Netsilik hunter to lecture her on how the white men were disturbing the balance on the island)

Then, from Gjoa Haven to the Mutineer’s camp, it would have been 50 miles. If she had left with the other shaman the day Crozier got ambushed, august 15th (as it seems to be implied by the fact that the scene announcing her travel companion was ready to go being just after Tom Hartnell’s death), she would have made it just in time to save Crozier 3 days later on August 18th by walking 15 to 20 miles a day, which is a moderate pace for a hiker.

So, this coincidence comforts me into thinking that, yes, their summer camp WAS in Gjoa Haven : )

Which is to say, had her journey been continuous, she would have made it to the same destination as the men of Franklin in only 30 days or so...

It took Little 150 days to reach Starvation Cove…

Women are stronger?

Location 27 - Netsilik Winter Camp (???)

I don't even want to attempt this. There are no clues whatsoever as to where they might be. They also deserve a little bit of privacy!

That’s it! That’s the end! We’ve made it, friends! All 10 episodes!

For Part 4, I will attempt to correct the dates I retroactively changed from part 1 to part 2 and then from part 2 to part 3 and package all of this in a neat presentation that would be more digestible than this wall of rambling.

I will take my time to complete part 4 and review everything so I might upload it in a week's time or so, maybe more.

I rushed Part 1 through 3 so that it could get out of my head and you all paid the price for how much rambling there is ;) sorry!

Thank you for reading so far! This was a blast even though I felt like I was losing my mind quite a bit!

Hey, amazing people - hope you're well!

A quick heads-up: we've made the decision to factor an additional week-long quarter-season break into our release schedule (so this week's intended episode won't launch until next Thursday 19th with the early release coming next Wednesday 18th, and we'll insert a corresponding break into the second half of the season as well).

As you've probably already gathered from the first four episodes, Season 3 of TSV is big, and ambitious at around 50-60 minutes per episode, and our next four episodes are particularly chunky and action-filled - we've also had some bad luck over the past few weeks (our own fault, tbh) with missing/corrupted audio, so we've been playing catch-up to recover since then.

That extra week will give us the time we need to get back on top of production and take a much-needed breath.

As ever, thank you so much for your patience - really hope you've all been enjoying the season so far and can't wait for you to hear everything that's coming next.

Keep safe and have a great week,

Jon

Lady Colin Campbell was asked in her Thursday August 22nd youtube video if M used a surrogate and if the Queen thought M was evil for bringing up Archie’s skin color in the Oprah interview. Transcribed answer above by daisybeach 23.

Also thought this other question to Lady C in the same youtube video was interesting. Someone asked Lady C that they “know for a fact from someone who had direct contract with the duo on the latest tour that Harry insisted on being addressed as His Royal Highness. Isn’t this a violation of the Sandringham Agreement?” To which, Lady C says, yes it’s a violation of the Sandringham agreement.

Ironic considering Harry famously said “Just Call Me Harry” a few years ago.

Hi TeaWithBooks,

This is interesting rumour/gossip. I know that Lady C is controversial for some people, so as usual, take what is said with salt until it is confirmed.

I actually agree with her explanation of Her Late Majesty’s view on Meghan. I don’t know about the actual words used, but I can see Her Late Majesty looking at all the destruction and hurt that Meghan caused and that she tried to cause, and summing Meghan up as someone who liked to hurt other people and to tear relationships apart etc (i.e. wicked).

If Harry has violated the Sandringham agreement, where the HRH styles were put away and not to be used. then it is up to The King to do something about it, as that is an agreement between Harry and the monarch. 

Yes, that ‘just call me Harry’ stuff was all BS. Harry and Meghan are too obsessed with their supposedly superior status to ever agree to using anything less than their full titles.

[bucktommypositivityweek]

welcome to bucktommy positivity week!!

FRIDAY AUGUST 16TH - THURSDAY AUGUST 22ND~

we feel like this fandom really needs a burst of positivity right now, and nothing does that like a fic/fan creation event!! we hope this will encourage people to write fics/write short drabbles/make art/spread thoughts about the daily prompts, and keep some positive energy flowing in the fandom

• tldr this is one week of daily prompts for fics, art, gifs, metas, headcanon posts, etc, all related to celebrating positive things in bucktommy's relationship! there are absolutely no rules on what you can create, how big/small it can be, or anything like that, as long as it's a good-faith bucktommy work

• we will be posting the full list of prompts tomorrow (august 14th). then each day will focus on one prompt (though of course, late submissions are completely fine!)

• we know this is last-minute compared to a lot of weekly prompt events, but i think many people will recognise why a lot of us were feeling like we wanted something to channel some positive creative energy into right now!! and hope others will do the same!

some more points below the cut

• we will reblog all the creations we are tagged in, and at the end of the event, we will be also collating any fics shared into a masterlist. we hope this will also be able to act as effectively a rec-list for those who are feeling worried about opening unknown fics on ao3 right now (and we will, of course, be triple-checking there are no trolls)

• just make sure you @ tag us when you post your creation on tumblr so we can reblog it and add it to the list!

• our askbox is open if you have any questions or suggestions :) however, this is really less of an event than an encouragement for people to enjoy some positive creations during this rocky hiatus time, so please don't feel you need to stress about anything related to contributing!
