Happy Father's Day to a Few of Narnia's Fave Fathers - A Stroll Down Memory Lane

 

Oh, you thought this was going to be a post about some of Narnia's fathers and their fur-babies?  Well, let's see, we have (or had) ...

 

Jared Padalecki - Arlo and Bridge

Jensen Ackles - Icarus (it sounds like Icarus may have crossed OTRB)

Jake Gyllenhaal - Leo

Austin Nichols - Otis

 

And while the Padalecki-Ackles pups look to be actual members of their household, Narnia has always raised eyebrows at Jake and Austin's.  LOL!

I mean, what was this?  Remember the disastrous set of photos from April 2015? 

 

Jake looking suitably crabby with paper dog, "Leo"

 

The photos were not a great endorsement for Pup Dad of the Year, let's put it that way.  We haven't seen Leo for quite awhile.  And while it's possible that Austin's "Otis" is indeed a Gyllynichols member of the fam, we're lucky nowadays to get a glimpse of one of his ears or paws.   

Nah, what we feel quite confident about is these two couples juggling fatherhood, separate careers and public images, along with their own intimate relationships.

Jared and Jensen, because of their beards, are able to show a family image (although separate), yet while also maintaining false images of "being away" from their kids a lot, especially during the years of filming Supernatural. 👀   We won't get into that today however, because of the nature of the holiday.

Despite most of the "separate family unit" imagery, the two men have shared stories on convention panel stages and photos which give a glimpse that all is and has not been, as it has been portrayed or some fans wish to believe.

Despite the stories they've shared during convention panels which reflect that Jared and Jensen are the heads of a nuclear family, I believe the 2015 pool pic was about the last allowed "Polaroid" we've seen of these guys together, with any combination of their children.  Paranoid publicists usually seem to prevail these days, it seems!  That's okay, current photos are not necessary.

 

🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡

Then, there are two men who have never shared a convention stage together or a collective family photo, but we have absolutely no doubt, they are their own family.  Let's recount a few online moments from the past on this Father's Day, as well as some simply romantic throwbacks in a delayed salute to Jake & Austin's 15th crystal wedding anniversary on June 16.

An Evening With the Elegant Liam Payne: Sometimes The Boy Really Does See a Wolf

 

The risk of calling a photo "photo shopped" or an incident a "stunt" can possibly backfire simply by using the claim too often.  The effectiveness becomes reduced and the term used as a counter argument.  

Then again, when it comes to photos involving closeted couples, photo shop and video manipulations have become so common place, that sometimes one has to simply lay it on the line and say, "It is what it is, I'm sorry!". 

Yesterday, June 8, new photos appeared of Liam Payne arriving at a 60th anniversary for a place called Annabel's, an exclusive private club in London, UK.  He looked terrific in a pin-stripe suit, sporting a new cross tattoo on his neck and a Zayn Malik-like wayward lock of hair over his right temple (nice shout out to your guy, Liam!).  

One note on Annabel's, which requires a 1750£ GBP annual membership, plus 450£ initial joining fee.  This is now the second time, we are seeing Liam attending an exclusive club, no doubt because he could gain some privacy there. More on the two clubs later in the post.

And more shout out's to his guy, Zayn, with this one being even louder.  During promo for Soccer Aid (huge thanks to the fans who locate the labels, designers, etc. on these guys' wardrobes and share their findings! 💝):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her tweet explains it all - the shared denominator of Batman and, of course, the colors of red and yellow, which represent their mic colors.  A wonderfully blatant tip of the hat.  Because of the exclusivity of the club and Liam arriving alone, Narnia would bet money it was Zayn he was going to meet up with inside.

Wake up this morning however, and why should this not surprise?   The previous beard suddenly appears from out of nowhere, allegedly at his side.   

The Daily Fail states the location as Annabel's in London, where an anniversary event was being held and we were told he was attending.  The Daily Fail’s post consisted of a handful of hinky looking photos.  From the Daily Fail alone, there are numerous inconsistencies in length of fingers and heights of involved parties, visible non-3D layering, and implausible extremity logistics.

 

Liam's fingers aren't even "holding" hers

 

Just how long is her index finger? What's going on with its fingernail?

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:   Not to mention, isn't her thumb nail at an odd angle?   And his palm is laying ON hers.  There's no clasping going on there.  

 

logistically, the angle of her hand is nuts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again with the layering.  His hand is just laid on top of hers, no clasping.  That's the photo shopping.

 

Where are her fingers?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do we have clasping here?  😀  Where are the rest of his fingers, though?  That is a mess going on with their hands.

Then there's the lack of engagement between the two. No conversation.  No laughing.  No anything.  The guest in the silver long dress is constantly in the photos, anyone know who she is?  A publicist?  Why would a publicist be third wheeling to a party?  Why is she in so many of the photos?

 

And the biggest inconsistency:

 

The Daily Fail says they were leaving Annabel's.

 

Liam Payne and Kate Cassidy confirmed their romance is back on, while leaving Annabel's 60th anniversary party hand-in-hand. - The Daily Fail

 

While Metro UK and Just Jared, using some of the same photos and with the same door-person in the background, are saying what?

"Liam and Kate were snapped at the Chiltern Firehouse in glamorous Marylebone on Thursday night" - Metro UK

 

Just Jared says they were arriving:

"The 29-year-old “Strip That Down” singer and the 24-year-old Instagram influencer kept close as they arrived at The Chiltern Firehouse on Thursday night (June 8) in London, England." - Just Jared

Aaaaah.  "Arrived".   "At"  "Leaving".

This is one of the photos from the Metro UK website, which stated Liam and the beard were leaving The Chiltern Firehouse, located at 1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London, England.  Note the door-person on the left.

Metro UK, "The Chiltern Firehouse"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is one of the photos from the Daily Fail, who said their photos were taken at Annabel's, a completely different club.  It's located at 45 Berkeley Square, London.   The same door-person is on the left.

 

The Daily Mail, "Annabel's"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, the two photos look the same, don't they?  That's because they are the same photo.  It's just that they're posted on two different web sites.  With two different locations. 

These two claimed locations are not the same.  There is 1.3 miles between them.

 

 

Hmmmm.  Does the door-person have a twin???

 

More like, somebody's lying.  If the photos are supposed to be true, why is there lying about the location?  

Why is there photo shopping?

Even if Sony gained the beard entrance into either private club (which they could do, absolutely), the same club where Liam was, why do you have to photo shop her with him?

 

Also important:  The photos of Liam arriving at Annabel's were released on June 8.  Not until the next day, June 9, were the photos allegedly with the beard released on The Daily Fail, Metro UK, People, Just Jared, et al.

 

Why the delay?  

We've seen this done before.  That's because Mgmnt needed photos of Liam so that the photo edits could be done.  That does take some time.  We should have had the photos with the beard the same time as Liam's initially appeared, which was Thursday the 8th. 

Just like other management teams and record labels do with their artists, Sony has also shown, time after time, how much they love to deflate and demoralize the One Direction fandom.   Especially, right before a prominent public appearance like Soccer Aid practice today, on Saturday. And particularly after one of the two couples in the group does a shout out to their significant other. Red and yellow. Batman signal, anyone? Even though there is obvious evidence that there are many more freedoms for the group in 2023, there are still undeniable signs that all five (5) band members are still not free.  

And, as long as that is the case, this kind of water balloon dropping is going to happen. Simply remember that these guys are survivors and, in many ways, warriors. The light at the end of the tunnel is visible. There is a masterplan.
