Bets on who will be most online during the break - even though they should all be taking time away.

Lovett will disappear, Tommy tweeted today already and I’m torn about Favs, he needs to step away the most but is also the most addicted so I’m not sure how it will play out.

Tommy posted his daughter on IG. But my money is on Favs. Unless Tommy gets hit by his dad feels and posts everytime his kids do something cute. He's the "You're doing amazing, sweetie" dad and his child is just sitting there. 😂

Wanna feel bad today? Imagine what the 2026 tax season will be like.

Why? Go away.

Offline had a short Q&A and tweet ranking portion and all the posted was the interview. Now I'm questioning if they really want to grow subscribers because I do not give seven shits about the interview. I wanted to see Max ans Jon.

I hear ya. Who made this decision?

Hi, I’m the one that said that and I realize I didn’t word it well. I didn’t mean R will never love again, just that it’s not going to be the same level of intensity. Most people, unless they’re aro ofc, have their first big love in high school or college and most of the time it eventually ends, you think you’re going to die, but you don’t. (R obviously had a delayed emotional development on this since he didn’t spend a lot of time with his age peers until grad school.)

You will love again but it’s not going to be the same, thinking you’re Romeo & Juliet type situation. I hope this makes more sense.

That makes sense actually. L was his first big love.

ronan isn't even 40 yet. let's maybe cool it on suggesting he'll never find true love again or whatever folks are trying to get at here. he and lovett weren't right for each other in the end. i have confidence both of them will find happiness with a new partner or partners eventually, or by themselves, if they haven't found it already.

Good point

Can’t really blame Pelosi for AOC not getting that role — it wasn’t a close vote. I like AOC but she’s got some work to do in getting the party to see her as a reliable member they can count on and not just Bernie 2.0

I like her a lot

I get how you feel, previous anon. I was gonna say earlier that R’s posts about RG probably wouldn’t be so off-putting to you if L posted more about his own relationship, but L has never been big on that kind of stuff (he clearly regrets how public he allowed the R relationship to get) and given that at least one of their former coworkers was disgruntled about it I don’t think he feels it’s appropriate to advertise A too much. They are adorable when we do see glimpses tho and he seems much happier than he was with R imo

If it makes you feel better, I don’t think L is looking at R’s Insta stories at all and I assumed L has had him on mute since before they even broke up anyway

I don't think he is either

I was skeptical about the SATC comparison, but honestly… sold.

Me too

SEX AND THE CITY theory:

Big and Carrie had very powerful chemistry and grew to love each other but they really didn’t fit into each other’s lives nor did they want the same lifestyle.

Carrie was a party girl. She always wanted to go out clubbing to the latest hottest spots, hobnob with trendy people & attend every hipster artsy event. Very social, very spontaneous and impulsive.

Big was a little older, much more established in his life and career when they met, and very set in his ways. He was a homebody. His idea of a good night was a fancy dinner at a classic, quiet restaurant or better yet, cooking a nice piece of salmon in his gorgeous penthouse and relaxing in bed watching an old movie. He worked hard and work was the major source of stress in his life, at the end of the day he just wanted to chill and not deal with any relationship drama.

He was also not super emotionally demonstrative and Carrie was way too needy for him on that level, she always wanted big declarations and “consuming, can’t live without each other love” and he wasn’t built for that. She hated predictability, stability and routine and he needed it and found comfort in it.

Sounding familiar yet?

Anyway that’s why those characters broke up 1000 times, they were never supposed to end up together, Candace Bushnell based this on a real guy she didn’t end up with. Even after the characters got married the writers couldn’t really make it make logical sense, Carrie would get mad that Big bought her a TV to watch old movies on and do something like fly to Dubai and kiss her ex-boyfriend, then call him up in the middle of the night to tell him about it

Wow. This is why I'm adamant against fan service in tv shows. I will burn ABC to the ground if they make Buddie canon. But that's neither here nor there.

Thank you for explaining this

I am the one who said that R didn’t compliment L and was trying to hurt him with his posts about RG. And I mentioned before how difficult it has been for me to see R posts about RG with the same joy I see the (very rare) posts about L/A. I still don’t feel the same about them, maybe because R posts so much more than L, or maybe because it bothers me that R changed/matured only after the breakup (imo L has been consistent about what he wants, a serious partner, living in the same location, with similar views).

I don’t know and it really doesn’t matter I guess. But I will say that the last anon made me consider a different angle, that R was also feeling insecure with L because deep down he knew they were really incompatible and their relationship was not as strong. I also believe they had broken up just before the book (when L started Crooked and it was clear he was staying in LA) and maybe they had just got back together and were trying to see if it they could make it when Weinstein happened, that’s why he was so clingy at that time and felt the need to be so open and propose to L later in the book. Who knows?

I wish I could see everything that R did after the breakup and still does now with the same understanding most people have, I really do. I think I will just not comment on him anymore because I don’t feel good about it. I certainly don’t wish him to be miserable or whatever, I just don’t believe him too much. But that’s my issue lol.

Thanks for the last anon for a different view.

I love everyone coming together

For previous anon on the timing of the song release being weird when H & R are together and seem pretty happy:

Due to his anxious attachment there will be odd things R does to test the relationship to see how invested H is and how much he will put up with. Getting him to come to his gigs to listen to his sad ballad about his ex is one of those things.

Maybe he'll write a song about H

[textingaboutprometheus]

Totally agree with previous anon’s breakdown. I did read the wrong implication into the comment about gushing.

Basically, as I see it, the relationship with RG works because R is in charge of it and he needs that. They live in the apartment he selected and decorated, RG accompanies him on every trip, they go out when he wants to go out and stay in when he wants to stay in. Not that I think this is any big sacrifice for RG, he seems to enjoy all of this and probably would be doing the same things if he was with somebody else.

R was NEVER going to be in charge of L. They came up with all kinds of justifications and compromises but there were a few big things that were dealbreakers for L, and it seems like R either steadily avoided those subjects or made promises he knew he couldn’t keep, then would back out — instead of just being honest and saying I can’t or don’t want to do those things, because he knew L would leave. And eventually L did.

I think him choosing a more compatible partner this time around indicates he did clearly know what did or didn’t work, it has just been hard because he was so deeply in denial about it. L was also in denial, but like, barely. Sometimes he would say stuff like “we never fight about work” or “wedding planning is tough” and you could just see on his face and in his tone he didn’t really believe it at all and was hanging on by a thread. A thread made of floss.

I wish it worked out

More on the SATC theory please!!

I'll publish

[textingaboutprometheus]

All of this is part of why I said earlier that R is very much “a Carrie” because L is his Mr. Big. I will elaborate on this if the SEX AND THE CITY fans want to hear it 😂

(Gotta qualify this by saying Carrie & Mr. Big were never meant to end up together, they don’t in the SATC book — it’s the whole point of the book. The writers forced that endgame for the show bc fans wanted a romcom ending)

That's insane

[textingaboutprometheus]

Regardless of who R is with, at some point I do hope he sits down with a therapist or spiritual counselor and makes the connection that “I might want to marry you someday, maybe, but I don’t want to live with you, and we could have kids but you’ll have to be 100% responsible for them because I won’t always be there” were lines of dialogue that came VERBATIM out of Woody’s mouth toward Mia and he heard and absorbed that, whether he consciously remembers or realizes it or not.

I know he does not want to be anything like his father, so he needs to break that cycle in his own relationships, no matter who his partner is. Maybe he has done some work on this already, hopefully.

This is good.

[textingaboutprometheus]

I’m the anon who said that R never gushed over L like that. I was very tired when I left that ask, and didn’t clarify what I meant by it. People have read all sorts of implications into that I did not intend. Sorry, that was badly thought out. I never meant that R didn’t love L or that he didn’t find him hot or that he didn’t make cute posts or anything like that. I meant exactly what I said - that he never gushed that way. And it’s not just the ‘so hot’ bit, it’s all of it - the cooking dinner, the lemon tree, the ‘our apartment’ when he always said ‘Jonathan’s place’ about a house he co-owned. This is a totally different dynamic and a totally different R. He’s changed. He seems more settled, more committed. He seems happy. It’s not the great love he had with L (and I agree btw with the anon who said he found it romantic that they were forcing themselves to be together despite their incompatibility) but it’s one that works for him. He’s content. RG fits neatly into his life without R having to change anything, whereas L is a force that couldn’t be contained in R’s life, and I now realise that R was probably as insecure about it as L was. Because deep down they both knew it didn’t work. That’s why he didn’t gush - because there wasn’t the same security there. There was always an element of fear. C&K was all about how afraid he was of losing L. That’s why he took it so hard when he did.

This is a good assessment

Hideous taste in clothing is a shared interest for them lol. Something to bond over.

"Hey, Babe, wanna wear red with orange and pink shorts?"

"OMG. YES."
