Hush Hush - Who Was Louder First

Which came first, the egg or the chicken?  In each of the couples above, the OTP shined noticeably and undeniably bright, some more quickly and obviously than others, perhaps a slow burn.  But in each case, there was definitely something tangible which caught the attention and fondness of many, many fans.  Enough to create blogs and fandoms.  In all cases, with the exception of Tyler and Dylan, a true committed relationship existed and (Narnia believes) continues to do so.  There was something going on with Tyler and Dylan however, which created the "need" for Posey.

Each couple was followed by a louder counter-active "relationship", one which was intended to emulate, while stifling and distracting from the original couple.  In some cases, one or both members of the OTP suddenly married.  In other cases, the OTP was separated, rarely ever seen together again or separated as book-ends with a third wheel often positioned in between in photos (i.e. Misha Collins).  

In three cases, one half of the original couple would go on to be "bromantically" paired with whoever they happened to be merely sharing a space with:  Jake Gyllenhaal, Jensen Ackles and Harry Styles.  And in Jake's case, someone who is long deceased. In other words, someone beyond safe.  R.I.P., Heath.

 

The Loud, the Proud and the Allowed - Gyllenholland.  Cockles.  Zarries.

And the Quieted.  The Hushed.  The Separated. - Jaustin, J2 (Padackles), Larrie, Ziam, and Shevine.

 

The patterned history is right there.

When It Was a 5 O'Clock World for These OTP's

Just think - at one time, these guys looked forward to a 5 o'clock world on Friday.

In no particular order, we present:

Kris Allen - shoe salesman [He dropped out of college in the middle of his junior year to pursue music professionally, performing in local bars and working as a shoe salesman to make ends meet. wikipedia]

Adam Lambert - Starbucks employee [While he lived a normal civilian life, Adam Lambert hustled his way by working at Starbucks.  ppcorn.com]

Harry Styles - a baker [We came to W. Mandeville to be honest because Harry Styles used to work there. facebook]

Louis Tomlinson - worked at Toys R Us [He used to work at Toys R Us. wattpad, This is Us movie]

Jared Padalecki - it would appear Mr. Jared went straight to acting out of high school.  However...how about parade grand marshal? 
[Jared was the grand marshal for a parade in his hometown in 2000. Quora]


Jensen Ackles - model [After modelling on and off since the age of 4, Ackles began to concentrate on an acting career in 1996. wikipedia] 

Jake Gyllenhaal - restaurant busboy [Gyllenhaal also took summer jobs, including working as a busboy and lifeguard.  [LAtimes]

[He said he was kind of a brat. What happened?
Well, he was very young. I think he had just turned 16 at the time. On Martha’s Vineyard in July and August, it’s crazy-busy. Every night is like a busy Saturday night, so you need everybody to show up to work, right? He had his mother call into the restaurant to say that he was sick for the day. My buddy and I who ran the place were like, “Oh my God. I can’t believe that Jake’s mother just called to say that he’s home sick and can’t come to work.”

So the next morning, we went to the drugstore and bought a baby bottle and a little pacifier, and when he came back to work, we gave him so much shit. We just didn’t let up. Every day for the rest of the summer, we kept on giving him water in a baby bottle. He was just telling me how that kind of resonated with him in terms of work ethic, so I thought it was kind of cute. grubstreet]

Austin Nichols - movie note taker.  No seriously, I have been unsuccessful finding any kind of job other than acting that Austin has had.

Zayn Malik - wanted to be a boxer.  [The 1D star just recently revealed that he wants to become a boxer. musictimes]

Liam Payne - fancied being a firefighter because he liked the idea of saving people.  [Liam once revealed that his dream job (aside from ‘globally successful boyband member’) is a firefighter. metro.co.uk, gif by mikkipedia]

You've gotta love the baker, shoe salesman, Starbucks barista, Toys R Us employee.  Here's to you, fellas.  Don't forget the joys of what a 5 o'clock world was.  :-)

It's a 60's FRIDAY!!!  Enjoy!
