Another Round for Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift via: A Snake Ring

Back on May 4 of this year, this tweet appeared, the author perhaps in a time warp and thinking he was still in 2010:

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal have broken up. In other news, Taylor Swift has started writing her next album.

— SpongeBob (@SpongeBLaugh) May 4, 2017

 


Hmmm.  Weird.  But even before @SpongeBob's love-gone-wrong reminder, there was another rather cryptic tweet:

Jake Gyllenhaal inspired all of Taylor's best songs like honestly what a cultural icon

— vivian 🌻 (@joeIcoen) May 4, 2017

 

It's not totally unusual to see one bumblehead tweet reminiscing about that zipline fauxmance, but two were worth a second glance.  

Interestingly enough on the very same day that these tweets appeared, Jake posed for this picture:

Jake and a snake ring.  And who is @loreerodkin?  Looks like her Instagram profile mentions "couture, jewelry, eyewear, fragrance designer".  Judging by the comment from @sunshineionianresort, the snake ring likely was designed by the Instagram poster.

For a moment, let's backtrack to 2016 and on July 14, this was the headline on a Glamour webpage:

Are the letters beginning to fall into place in this Wheel of Fortune puzzle?



August 26 of this year, here came the head-aimed brick:

Cue the planted tweets, lined up and ready to parade down Main Street:

Pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift still haunt me

just a quick reminder that jake gyllenhaal and taylor swift used to be a thing,,,

if jake gyllenhaal is actually in the music video i'm probably going to spontaneously combust

And just because it's Monday and light faire is needed:

JAKE GYLLENHAAL AND TAYLOR SWIFT WERE A POWER COUPLE

— gab🐍 (@seenyourcoIors) August 27, 2017

 

Uh oh.  Hold on. Hit the Pause.  Go back!

Well, I think most of us know all too well that May comes before June and there seems to have been a few miscalculations regarding the filming date of Tay's video in correlation to Jake's snake ring modeling. 

We'll wait and see if a tow truck can come bail the stunt car out of its little pothole, but in the meantime, Narnia thought we would show the timeline in its infancy stages.  

This is how a stunt is laid out.  Notice Jake's cameo appearance in his ex-beard's snake storytelling, has been in the plans for awhile.  The Glamour post giving a heads up on the snake mascot, dated back to last year.  There was just a slight quality control issue with the date placement. 

Can we add that there will be accompanying snake jewelry in the marketing push?  source

And now, this concludes our stunt timeline tour.  As you leave Narnia, for your fresh cleansing and revitalization, please feel free to take one of these:

Thank you!

A Single Pane View of Our OTP's

For most of us, pictures are what we have to see of our fave OTP's. Maybe once in awhile, there could be a convention photo op, a chance encounter while a singer is on tour, or view from afar at a stage door.  But otherwise, we see these young men in gifs and videos, on stage, or on the silver screen. In these small, albeit oftentimes controlled circumstances, what might we perchance catch a glimpse of?  These are some of our own observations...mostly all in fun, all in fondness.

Does Dylan O'Brien ever have a contemplative, pensive moment?
Must he be smiling and smirking every picture?  lol

Niall Horan can be an innocently, open faced book.  Take for example, when an interviewer asked the group about the origin of Rainbow Bonded Bear and Niall turns to look directly at Louis.

Let's put it this way - you don't want to be on Nialler's poker team. LOL. We're fondly kidding around.  This kind of openness cannot be found everyday.

http://loveourtimeisnow.tumblr.com/post/135110244418/zaynsxo-i-kind-of-like-have-a-protection-over

It's as if the falling scoop neck gives Adam Lambert an added vulnerability...I love watching Adam while he's talking. Very demonstrative and animated.

The brightness and life in Adam's eyes is what captivates.

 






















Adam Levine minus the gel, minus the pose, minus the crooning. It is a pose and yet he looks open and bare.

How about that?


This was Jensen Ackles during an emotional moment at a convention.

and here: happier, unaware of how displayed his feelings were.

*collects oneself*   That gag reel moment does it to this author every time.  First clue I think I saw which told me J2 were for real.

And because it's  the law, Jared or Jensen must follow the other.

Jared Padalecki - At ease.  Open body language.  Always smiling. Confident.

Knows how and when to be sensitive to others.

 

Austin Nichols - three pics because this is what catches my eye that his head is bent in all three of these pictures while there is conversation going on around him.

Louis Tomlinson a true warrior and master at communicating in between the lines. Someone who is brave, complex and simply a lovely human being. Niall said in a recent interview that if it hadn't been for Louis, the group would have lost the plot a long time ago. Enough said.

And that's what makes you beautiful.



Kris Allen seems to run a little deep to me. He's known for being very nice. He's a "good guy".  He's sweet and talented.  But I think there's some intense waters flowing in there. Anyone who lays out their soul through their song lyrics is wanting to be heard.

Zayn Malik in a playful moment
. 

Love his matter-of-fact reply here.  Looks like he speaks calmly and yet frankly.  Playful gif and photo, one after another of Zayn.  For one whom so many brooding and serious photos dominate Google Images, there are so many like the above and below engaging.

Speaking of, here's Harry Styles.  Mr. Free Form, someone who couldn't be truer to his last name. An original. Fierce, sweet yet the embodiment of vulnerability.

Blake Shelton - I've been trying to see past the denim, long legs, boots and guitar.  Is it just me or do his eyes seem awfully serious sometimes?  lol!  Like - really serious.  Joke or a dig here?

What lies beneath the denim and guitar?  I have not seen enough to have a frank opinion.   One thing is for sure, Blake sure seems to light up around Adam.


And Mr. Liam Payne whose smile reaches his eyes in an endlessly wonderful loop.  Sometimes the wrong words come out of his mouth, but there's no doubt he has a heart of gold.

He knows he's adorbs too, doesn't he?  ;-)

And then there's Jake Gyllenhaal who is enthusiastic, a total professional when he needs to be on the promo circuit, and looks like he can work himself into a snit.  But it's who he can be, right?  And then turn right around and cradle Boo in his arms or gently hand a crayon to a little toddler.  

Jake's window is through his body language. [But please hold onto stair railings, Jake! #3PointContact]  Love this photo of him - expectancy!

then he can become,

but then,

Fun stuff.  Studying.  Wondering.  Contemplating.  Fascinating.

These are some of the qualities we see (and open to differences) in some photos.  What or who do you see in the narrow windows that we receive?

Two Years Ago on August 23, 2015

How time flies!   Sunday, August 20 was the seven (7) year anniversary of Jake and Austin spending "them" time in Leadville, Colorado during the Leadville Trail 100 Run.  By now, we all know the story of how we had totally missed this was Austin standing beside Jake, but oh, we know now, don't we?

The closer shot:

It was soon after the twosome had become proud parents once again.

And today, August 23, is the two (2) year anniversary of a good friend of Special K's spotting Jake and Austin having dinner on a Sunday night in 2015 right around 8 in the evening, in Koreatown.  And thanks to Facebook heroine Margie, we know that Jake and Austin were to become proud parents once again several months later in December.  #Congras !!!! all the way around.

So August is indeed a special month for us Jaustin fans because it has seemed to be for them.  It has been over a year since Jake and Austin were photo'd together at SXSW on March 12, 2016.  

And it probably will be a long, long time before they're seen in public together again.  But this, we know.  These two men have life moments which legally bind them together, unlike many "typical" Hollywood couples.   They've known each other since 2002, went deep into the closet in 2012 post-Berlinale.  But time after time after time after time, we have seen many signs that they're still very much together.  

And so today, we tip our glasses to Jake and Austin.  May they continue to work at the relationship that they have and we don't have to have pictures to be happy about their union.  

Some day, down the road......they'll probably cause the bottle rockets to go off and stun us all, but for now, we celebrate these two special August days.

Booty Casting Call: Heavenly Bodies in Alignment

In honor of the Solar Eclipse taking place on Monday, August 21, 2017, Narnia thought we would hold auditions for Mr. Moon's role in the event.  As much as we would like, there will be no full moon here, but sometimes what is left to the imagination is part of the whole appreciation process, no?  

Can't think of a better way to get the ball rolling than with Blake Shelton and his own 'dat' prolamation:

And since glutes come in pairs, it seems only right that the majority of our OTP's come in....pairs!

Adam Levine:

 from a video shooting, Adam challenging Jake in the spandex dept:

Adam Lambert live!

holy moly, not safe for the cubicle today, no no....

And who should follow Adam, but Mr. Kristopher Allen:

holy maracas...

You don't see this one too often.  Bonus! Kradam

Time for J2....and with these two, you could devote a whole page. 

A classic:

Oh, these boys... Jared?

The classic "I ripped my pants"

 and sneaking in a personal favorite: as Sam Winchester...

 
And, if two is better than one, five ASSets most assuredly require a WARNING label before proceeding.

As well as a reminder that the "packaged"cargo is a precious commodity that needs to be grasped, appreciated.

Take it away Louis:

Well, that escalated rather quickly. Maybe we could have a little foreplay first, Mr. Tomlinson? 

Yes, reverence would be a bit more audience-friendly, thank you.  Now, let's get this show on the road with a playful reminder of one of our favorite OTPs - Harry Styles and the Sun King himself, Mr. Louis Tomlinson during their playful fetus days:

Alright Louis, we'll start with Hazza Styles' cute little bum first. A wonder of the world which has truly evolved throughout the years. Those legs are just a side benefit.

 

Words escape me when it comes to this young man, so let's just say it's Tommo time:

Then there's Liam "Lima Bean" Payne. Who we all know, also appreciates what he has to offer. No need to be shy when you can walk the walk, right Leeyum?

 And here is a different kind of "wave"

 

Shake that booty, Liam!

 

Zayn obviously has two eyes as well.

Now for Mr. Malik. A gift that keeps on giving from all angles. Easy on the eyes in every way. Front or behind.

 
Now for Nialler. Ol' Teflon Niall. A man who has been "developing" before our very eyes. These Irishman - they are "magical" in every way.

 Shake it, Niall!

 

Blue jeans, baby!

No glute breaks here.  We still have who?  Why, Jake and Austin, of course!

Back when Jake was filming Source Code, he had some playtime with Atticus, who could forget this shot?

And there was this direct hit:

 And you can't ignore the Love and Other Drugs.  Even the grainy doesn't take away from this mooning:

Oh, I swore I was going to stay from the nudity and almost made it through the post....

In character as Spencer Monroe, Austin walks a set of porch steps proud.

Heavens!!  From John in Cincinnati...

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been around the "globe" a few times.  LOL.  We can't have a booty post without a Bonus! salute to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau...

Ah, what the heck. Let's throw in a not so little, Whit Merrifield...

 

And a few snacks smacks to wrap things up..

This one just cracks me up.

Thanks for joining us in this thorough examination of celestial bodies in orbit. Science is a wonderful thing, don't you think?
