Hey its your swiftie Christmas / Winter anon. Sorry I haven't messaged you in a few days. Been a bit crazy here. How are you?

So let's talk about Taylor and the media. The coverage I see right now is positive but I have seen them be cruel to her. After watching Miss Americana several times, I can see why she hates the ones that follow her around. That's scary

And stalkers. She carries wound dressing on her because people have broken into the house where she was and she thought she was going to be stabbed. It really makes me sick thinking about it

So what on your thoughts on this?

Hey anon, that's no problem. I'm happy to hear from you whenever - it's a busy time of year!

I agree with you. I understand why she doesn't like the media and she distrusts them. However, part of her job involves in engaging with a portion of them. I think she's done a great job at balancing this and tuning out a lot of the "brain clutter" as she referred to it. I never understand fans who are rude or call her lazy for not putting herself out in the media more often, or boring because she isn't papped. I'm all for her doing whatever she feels necessary to look after herself.

As far as stalkers go, I think it's impossible to understand living like that - with the threat of violence and need for security. Again, there are times when I think fans could be more understanding. I also think that, as much as I hate Elon Musk, he has finally done something right in closing down the jet tracking twitter bots. We don't need to know where celebrities are at all times and spreading that information can put people in harm's way.

Maybe is also worth to share with anon:

Before xmas/21 the last time Louis and Freddie were seen together was 2017/2018 right before elounor 2.0

Middle to end of 2020 after making headlines by dating a Jenner and setting herself on fire with Freddie allegedly next door, Brianna got engaged to a fireman (?)

She then was sued by a former sugar daddy/boyfriend for taking his money to have a boob job and "doesn't let him enjoy" (check tag boobiegate)

This man went to a gossip website and spilled about how he was the one buying groceries and toys for Freddie and how he also wanted to make a dna test of the kid (guy was a total creep) because Louis was absent physically and financially

All this brought attention to bbg again but it was in a very little corner of internet, never made it to big tabloids. The gossip website shared the theory and linked Gabi's masterpost, within weeks her original blog was simply gone. Fiance breaks up with Brianna

The lawsuit was postponed and after the 2nd or 3rd date (around apr/21) was dismissed cause no one attended

Nor Louis, his team or anyone in his family ever publicly mentioned this

Christmas 2021: Freddie visits the UK for the first time since 2016, a month later Louis tweets HBD to him also after a few years and in march/2022 Freddie attends the LA concert

Never again we heard of the sugar daddy, also Brianna is almost gone from tabloids ever since

Make of that what you will

Yeah. I agree. Dad of the year was definitely a result of Boobgate and Briana/her family having no oversight. Louis needed to step in and get it under control. It absolutely sucks, but hopefully he’s done it with some plan to eventually extricate himself.

Anons in my inbox... Sorry... I'm not ignoring you, but what do you want me to say? Nothing new here...

New Blah Blahlands?!

Another blah blah blah book... Nothing new in this "I had Covid" speech or have you guys already forgotten the Xmas 2021 - QT LA playlist on Spotify?! ... He's just unfolding a script that he created in December 2021... There was his "wee" accident too... A series of misfortunes... True or not?! Believe what you want... 😜🤣 Fact is that at the beginning of January 2022 he no longer had anything (or he wouldn't have gone to the Chargers game with Marina and Alex), he was in LA and I don't need to mention where Caitríona was, right?!

(The best part was Cait giving her location in a interview, where she was supposedly at the end of 2021 - London -, and this article being published on January 1, 2022... Because it's very common for Cait to give her location! 😜🤣)

All the "clans" in this fandom are fed with these books... We already had "the gardener" Sam, the bluebell flower thing, and now even the believers in gay theory are well served with this pathetic description of Sam and his flirtations.

Oh... And the article in The Telegraph? He should be ashamed of that. But tell me... How many thousands of people, from outside this fandom, are going to read and/or pay attention to that?

Of course, one or other will read it because of the usual bait...

Oh and of course, JJ...

Regarding this "I don't have time for relationships because of my work", I already gave my opinion in another post.

It doesn't make any sense... After all, he supposedly had relationships years ago while filming Outlander.

---

Years ago (2019) a well-known shipper stopped believing that Sam and Caitríona had children (in secret)... One of her statements to stop believing is exactly what Sam has been using for a while to justify why he doesn't have a relationship/family. She even said that Sam would never deny his child...

Well, I don't blame this shipper, far from it... But let's be honest, SC use a lot of what we talk about here... Very little in favor and much more against shippers' beliefs.

Sam for Philippine Daily Inquirer magazine, in early 2020:

He probably added "the trauma of his father's absence" in Waypoints book, to cause commotion and be a slightly better excuse than that lame one used first?!

And the announcement of the blonde child, in August 2021, was a blow delivered using what that and other shippers started to claim. We are often our own worst enemies, even if unintentionally.

---

And what Sam said about "his daughter"... Well... He didn't lie. He doesn't have a daughter WITH MM...

😜🤣

---

It's as if the SC is always on the defensive, justifying something... Which seems strange at first, but... If Sam just said "I'm single because I want to be"... That wouldn't tease us, right? Maybe not in the same way... It probably wouldn't cause a buzz talk (here)... Anyone outside of this fandom will see just another unknown actor, who is not romantically involved with his co-star (and that's what they want).

It's been years of the same....

All of this crossed the line of ridiculousness, and when the world outside is so chaotic, sometimes it is impossible to have fun and be distracted by this circus. Sorry, Anons.

I mean who can be tall without looking tall 🤔

oh anon if I could just pretend to extrapolate Lando's horny little brain for a sec, I think when Lando officially (?) first met Oscar at the 2022 xmas party at MTC Oscar hadn't hit his post-Alpine growth spurt yet. so by the time the car launch happened in 2023 we got this and the 'did you grow what the fuck?' comments from Lando bc oh.

oh my. Oscar has gotten taller. Oscar will likely get taller. Oscar has proper shoulders now and 'quite big arms'.

Oscar blushes when Lando gives him any attention.

Oscar doesn't put any pressure on Lando to help him out as a rookie. Oscar is quite content to tail around after Lando and watch him to learn. Oscar is calm and collected and works very hard. Oscar is fast. Oscar isn't looking around at his other options just bc the car is fucked. Oscar is putting in extra hours with the sim and Lando's beloved team.

at first Oscar looked like a typical rookie, small and quiet and nervous. then the next time Lando sees him, he's basically already the same Oscar that Lando has now who smiles through all of Lando's bratty moods during content filming and helps Lando sound out difficult words and stops eating the salmon he loves at the engineer's table because Lando hates it and changes his answers to interview questions when Lando doesn't like his answers.

like, Oscar's only a bit taller than Lando but there's physically big and strong and then there's emotionally big and strong.

May i ask how you're learning coding for wepages? i wanna start learning it too but idk where TwT

heya anon! so, it's been almost two years since i've started my coding journey...

it's a really hard process, i must admit... i'm gonna say the most useless thing ever but it's what worked: practice!

details under the cut (trust me there's a lot)

TL DR; do whatever is fun and make sure to practice often!

i started by using sadgrl's layout builder and in 2-3 days my first iteration was born this monstrocity was rescued from archive.org and dates back to august of 2022 since i have this awful habit of not keeping all website versions archived on github

i spent so many hours tinkering with the layout,, i didn't knew what things did so stack overflow and coding servers were my best friends

a few of my 2023 layouts were just lost to time... ah well... and we land onto the first iteration of catboo i coded from the ground up + it's graphics update a few months later. these are from march and september, respectively

it was not the best, but i really loved them... also nope, no layouts got lost inbetween,, i just barely updated in those months

there was a christmas layout that got lost to time too, but it was mostly me putting xmas hats on all the graphics

aaaand there were a lot of months inbetween the next layout, catboo v2. i spent roughly 4 months coding and making the graphics for catboo v2

it takes time and patience, anon

this is all my personal experience! it might be different for you...

wanna try to make a site? i recommend using vscode with the live server extension, this way you can see your updates in real time

watch youtube videos, use templates, do whatever you want!! have fun!!

as for website host, i recommend either neocities (where i host) or nekoweb (by dimden)

have fun, anon! i wish you luck (and patience. you'll need it)

Marte do you think if H’s team wanted to use his 30th birthday party for stunting//pr of his clown gang and other celebs, shouldn’t we get pictures by now? I mean I hope I won’t jinx it but his birthday was last thursday and it’s almost mid-week so many days gone by since last weekend and noone (gp) would care by now imo.

One thing is that it will make me beyond proud if he really celebrated this mileston in private and off camera so he could be truly himself surrounded by his family and true friends. Or maybe it’s this big for him that he’s maybe waiting for Louis to come home because he wants him there? So we might get later some story or post from Anne just like we got pictures of him from Xmas 2022 (when he was stunt-free).

Hi, anon!

I was thinking last thursday that if we don’t get any pics of a party by sunday night at 11 (when the monday morning papers drop) then he's in Australia with Louis. So when Louis stayed behind in Australia i was like hmmm. And now it's tuesday and still no pics, rumours or murmurings of a party. I think it's safe to say that he didn’t have a big celeb filled affair this past weekend. I agree the momentum is over and it would be late dropping pics now. Maybe H is in England waiting for Louis to come back home, or he flew out to meet him somewhere or he's in Australia with Louis. Pics might drop later so it's impossible to know when they're from. They are both mia now and i'm pretty sure they're together wherever they are. Hope they have fun!

[pseudophan]

It means what? That his family is visiting him like they probably did before? Or is that the two families are spending christmas together at dnp house? I don't get the freakout it's not like that hasn't happened before. What you think they are getting secretly married on christmas in 2022 and that's why their fams are there?

that... HASN'T happened before though anon.... thats the whole idea that has never happened dnp have yet to celebrate christmas together even once. idk if both the families are staying for xmas its a bit early for dan's family to be there if that was the case, i think maybe his fam is just visiting them now before christmas and then during actual xmas it'll be dnp and the lesters

eta: covid christmas doesnt count ok

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Its your Swiftie Christmas anon!

What do you do for Christmas Eve/ Christmas Day?

My mom and I like to go out on Christmas Eve amd then go to Midnight Mass. Then Christmas Day my brother comes over and we go have an Irish Christmas with my crazy Irish uncle one state over. Its great fun. We have those cracker things that you twist and it makes a big noise. Everyone ends up with paper crowns. It's a great time.

What do you think Taylor will be doing for Christmas?

Hey anon!!

Usually for Christmas Eve, I go to visit a friend and just have a quiet evening catching up. As I work overseas, I generally don't get home until just before Christmas so there's always lots to catch up on. My mum goes to the midnight church service, but I don't.

Your Christmas Day sounds like it will be fun. Christmas Day I usually open presents, have a bacon butty, visit my nieces and nephews or they visit us and then we have Christmas dinner mid-afternoon. We have crackers too. I didn't realise until very recently that they're not really a Christmas thing in America! As a kid, they were one of the highlights of dinner.

I think Taylor is probably doing a family Christmas, but I have no idea if that will be in the UK or US ... or even somewhere else (such as an Irish castle!).

[caralara]

I was never one to believe Louis didn't spend much time with Freddie. At least in 2021 and 2022 it was pretty obvious Louis was in LA more times than not and probably saw him several times. On the other hand is that when Freddie was in London this xmas he went out with Phoebe and her 6 month boyfriend and he seemed close and comfortable both of them too and this trip was the first time seeing said guy and the second xmas with Louis family so I am also inclined to believe that because the Clark/Jungwirths are a big family that the kid is an extrovert and good with strangers too. Freddie was walking holding hands with Phoebes boyfriend who he problaby saw twice in his whole life since the relationship is newish lol

Yes!! Thank you anon. I think the kid is a very happy go lucky kind of child, and I think what I meant is that Louis is comfortable enough to be this physical with him lead me to thinking they do spend some time together when they are seen together, and that Louis isn’t shutting him out and spending as little time with him as possible! I don’t think he like, spend an amount that would be normal for a real dad with Freddie, but definitely more than 3 of 4 times since 2020

since i see you drawing 1917 a bunch (good art btw), have you watched all quiet on the western front/im westen nichts neues (the 2022 one on netflix) yet?

hi anon (thank u) the short answer to ur question is no i haven’t watched all quiet on the western front yet but definitely intend to! the slightly longer answer is that i want to read the book first (which i got for xmas) but i also got another book which is more about the context and events leading up to the war that i decided to read first. so i’m trying to get through this one so i can read that one so i can watch the movie so i can maybe draw something for it idk. i’ve seen stills/gifs here and there and i’m very interested!!!

[mychampagne-mybubbles]

Everything ok? I see You hadn't posted in a while. I enjoy your content :)

Hello there lovely anon,

First of all: Happy new year to you & everyone reading!

This is one of the sweetest asks I have ever got! I have never considered being missed around here... :) so thank you for that.

Regarding your question, everything is ok. It is true that I -like many others- have had a hard time dealing with part of the content of 2022 and my commitment to experiencing everything until the year-end made me thankfully enjoy the Xmas break more than usual.

Now I can tell I haven't made a complete comeback (if that makes sense), maybe I don't feel so attached or willing-to-engaged with the content we have been having, to be honest... maybe we all I need more time. I am here though but maybe I don't find my view very "likable" to be openly shared.

However, I recently put out there a few thoughts in another platform, I will upload them here for you :)

have a great day!

[dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram]

I found the timing of the breakup very interesting, too, it's obviously been done this way to de-link it from the album and promo. I just got

A) He's not willing to have his art being forever understood as a 'breakup album' while he's happy in a relationship with Harry (see 'All Along') - and he seemed happier than ever to me this year, or

B) He felt the breakup was too personal/hurtful to show to the public and he respects Eleanor and their shared history too much to use it for promo or

C) He and/or the label didn't want to turn off his larrie fans or maybe both B) and C).

Though B) seems quite possible to me, I don't think C). The label would have loved the breakup announcent during peak promo, while the topic could still have been blacklisted in interviews and the "telling somebody else's stories" angle would have made sense. And with Eleanor posting to show she's not been spending important moments with Louis since Xmas 2021, I would have thought she'd want to get it over with the media announcement? She obviously was living her best single life the whole of 2022 (maybe 'preparing' a 'new' relationship?).

Anyway, I'm happy for Eleanor, neither being a beard for such a long time with the fans he has, nor in a het relationship with Louis seems to be desirable to me (but what do I know, either might have had its moments..)

Still, the pieces somehow don't fit together for me, I'd love to hear your speculations as to why Louis chose this timing! Maybe I'm too stupid to read between the lines (English as ESL), but I don't really understand what you think about the reasons?

Thanks for your thoughts anon.

You say it doesn't fit together - but there's no obvious gaps to me. Definitely don't put yourself down or your understanding. The thing is that a lot of what happens isn't going to make a lot of sense to us, because we're missing a lot of information.

I think we can be really certain about what happened - the way Louis' and Eleanor's break up was announced and managed was designed to ensure he doesn't have to talk about it either in person or his art. Why does he want that? There are lots of possible reasons and we can't know what's going on. It's much better to let go of the idea of certainty and allow for possibilities, than expect everything to make sense.
