The Summer Long Wound Down: The Illusions of Jake Gyllenhaal's Film Career and Laundry Practices

 

Summertime and the livin' is easy ♫♬....except when you're following secret boyfriends and husbands.....♪♫  la la la la  

Hope everyone enjoyed the last sip of that summertime refreshment over Labor Day weekend because it's about time to be thinking about cider!

My goodness. Seems like not so long ago, spring flowers were just being replaced by summer blooms. So, without going too deep into the weeds as we now enter the crisp mornings of early autumn, let's take a quick look back at some random online activity that will either afford us the opportunity to sound off, or to enjoy a few celebratory high fives. 

 

• Let's start out with a puzzlement.  Initially, this post discusses an original script, based off of a real-life event, where there are two actors who have a direct association to Jake Gyllenhaal - Paul Dano and America Ferrera.  

 

 

And yet this kind of mainstream role, either is never offered to Jake directly or he simply has no interest in the subject matter.  In fact, the only kinds of films Jake seems to routinely associate himself with all seem to have a repetitive similarity:

1) remakes that have already been done, 

2) military or cop films,

3) scripts with unhinged characters that call for vein-popping, unmodulated yelling, fist pounding mirror breaking, or desk-clearing outbursts, [the latter two being particularly prevalent], 

4) or stories where his own character either dies/suffers immensely, AND/OR has a wife/girlfriend who die or abandon him.  

 

The whole speculation of the why's and how's for this noticeable pattern in role-taking could fill a Pandora's box of speculations.

- Jake or his people, want to transform him into another Mark Wahlberg.

- Jake is subconsciously punishing himself for something because he repeatedly takes roles where he is hurt, killed, tortured (emotionally/psychologically), or robbed of life's happiness. 

- And how many times does Jake's characters have to lose a wife or girlfriend? What happens to his on-screen wife and daughter in Nocturnal Animals is horrendous, raped then killed.  Southpaw - wife is killed. One of the most frequently used images on social media from Nightcrawler is Jake's character video recording a dead female victim sitting on a couch.  Accidental Love - the female lead (played by Jessica Biel) has a nail in the head.   Love and Other Drugs - instead of focusing on the prescription drug industry as many thought the film was going to do, the female lead in the movie is stricken with multiple sclerosis.  Okja - the pig (female) is forcibly bred and abused.  Demolition - wife is killed in a car accident. Wildlife - presents an outrageously dysfunctional family life, where Jake's movie "wife" has an affair and eventually moves out. At the end of the story their son wants one last photograph of them as a family, which Carey Mulligan's character only begrudgingly provides.

By this point in his career, Jake's patterns/preferences are difficult to deny.

Brokeback Mountain - Jake's character Jack Twist tragically dies while Ennis lives on

Everest - Jake's character dies, freezing to death on the mountain. 

Life - Jake's character is hinted at being dead, trapped in a pod with the villain alien, under the ocean water

The Sisters Brothers - Jake's character dies - shoots himself in the head

The Guilty - Jake's character is an LAPD cop, who at the end of the movie will plead guilty to manslaughter with the possibility of spending years in prison

Ambulance - Jake's character dies, shot by his own brother

Spiderman:  Far From Home - Jake's character, Mysterio, dies (but with a brief cameo which indicates he may not be dead after all * eye roll *)

Velvet Buzzsaw - Jake's character Mort Vandewalt dies a traumatic death

Okja - Jake's character Dr. Johnny Wilcox is a sinister villain who is responsible for the forced mating and abuse of the pig character, Okja.  It's not totally clear in the film, but it's possible Jake's character dies, or at the very least meets a violent attack.

 

Interesting, isn't it? Meanwhile, we wait for the premiere of Road House, another remake. This time of a 1989 film by the same name, originally starring Patrick Swayze. 

🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄

 

Now, onto some new "relationships" or what Narnia likes to call "propinquity placements" that couldn't help but tickle our collective funny bones:

 

Tom Brady and Leo DiCaprio,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably, a "sighting" designed to help out Tom by associating him with Leo.  The two men are not even near one another here, yet the tweets about the yacht birthday party excursion in Sardinia centered around Brady and Leo D:

 

Red arrows courtesy of TMZ 😂😂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, Tom Brady and Leo D share a beard in common:  Gisele Bündchen.  

And now, Brady has been seen with Bradley Cooper's cast-off beard, Irina Shayak.  Remember that Shayak's eyebrow arching "dating" history also includes "Ye" (formerly known as Kanye West) as well as Cristiano Ronaldo.  Sooooooo... 😉  

 

😏

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And how about this one?

Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen and Niall Horan's old former "flame", Hailee Steinfeld.  

Now, it could be that Josh Allen's team is just trying to raise his visibility and get him some Hollywood attention.  But one thing is for sure. The write-ups and quotes sound very familiar and reek of PR. 

and using Page Six????

And, of course, there's Just Jared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding the photos of the alleged couple 'making out', he explained that they (he and Steinfeld) noticed the photographers hiding out 'on a boat' to get the shots.

"I just, like, felt this gross feeling," Josh said about the photos.  "Insecurity.  No privacy.  Like, 'What is wrong with people?'" - Just Jared, August 3, 2023

 

Come on, Josh. Surely photographers are not a new thing. How did they just happen to find you on a boat???  😉

 

•And it appears that hardly anyone noticed that was Gene Hong chaperoning Jake with his beard, Jeanne Cadieu at the French Open on June 11.  

 

hmmm, that guy in front of Jake looks familiar...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, that's Gene Hong in the lower lefthand corner.  What in the heck?  Oh, but wait. The timing of this pairing actually works out quite well.  Especially, since Gene and Jake's good friend, Adam Levine, and his group Maroon 5 were in the midst of touring. And where exactly was the group performing on the 13th?  Lisbon, Portugal!  Their previous date before that was Las Vegas on April 8.  That must have allowed some time for travel.  And we can't forget Austin would have been there too because... well, who was watching all the Baby Tiles while Papa was doing his duty? Yup, Narnia thinks there may have been some SoCal socializing going on over in France perhaps??  😉🕺🕺🎸🌊

Remember, just because Jake and Gene were in Paris together, does not necessarily mean that's where Jake and Austin have a place.  From their past history, we know these two men like to be near the water, so Adam could have cut even more time off of his flight if he was a bit further south, just sayin'...

If Narnia readers are not familiar with the longtime "friendship" between Adam Levine and Gene Hong, Narnia promises to explore this pairing at a later time. For now, let's just mention that we believe that The Voice's Shevine (Adam Levine + Blake Shelton) was never a real secret relationship, but instead a classic case of mearding to distract from Levine and Hong's real relationship. Oh, and in case the reader is not familiar with Levine's inner circle, Irving Azoff is very much a part of it.   💻

 

Well, look at that!

 

 

 

 

Just one more point before we move on. With so many assault lawsuits and headline-grabbing accusations flying around Hollywood these days, it might make sense for Jake to ensure Cadieu doesn't get any wild hairs and try to make some extra money.  That's right. Might Gene Hong be part Jake's witness protection program?  Who could blame him?

And before anyone gets their ire up about a victim-blaming insinuation, of course not all accusations are going to be false.  But there are too many sensational incidents associated with closeted celebrities, which have definitely gone nowhere in the courts.  

Who knows. Maybe after Jake and Gene Hong punched the time clock at the French Open, Austy was doing some of this to greet the fellas upon their return to the Gyllynichols Hacienda for a bite to eat afterwards!

 😁 Just having a bit of fun! 😉

 

• Another curiosity from this past summer was a Randi Mahomes "cameo" appearance from out of nowhere. 

 

 

Laying low throughout most of the entirety of last season here she is at a golf tournament.  But does she take a pic with her son Patrick, who was also playing in "The Match" as Travis' partner vs. Steph Curry and Clay Thompson?  No, instead she felt the urge to "join" in an interview that Travis was doing.  😬  

Travis is an "It" guy at the moment, but maybe there's another reason she felt comfortable elbowing her way into Travis' interview.  Think about it for a moment and our readers just might figure it out on their own. 

Let's now check-in with Jared and Jensen: 

• Let's start by observing why a past summer stunt "outing" was so unconvincing. As Supernatural fans are aware, "Bodyguard/Handler" Cliffie Kosterman usually hangs around Jared Padalecki.  Yet, all of a sudden, he was "road tripping" with Jensen Ackles.   😂😂 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taking a ride around the block for this one, fellas??  Surely, it's worth wondering why Kosterman is still around when the show Supernatural has been over since 2020? 

Let's start by wondering what Kosterman makes for being a tick handler.  Remember, this is part of the reason why concert and movie tickets are so high.   Part of the cost can no doubt be traced back to paying for beards, meards, social media plants, and hang-alongs, in general, those like Cliff Kosterman, Anson Gordon, Jeanne Cadieu, and a "personal trainer" like Brad Gould aka Bread.  It costs money for their air fares, hotels, pap walks, meals, etc.  Part of the cost may come out of the closeted celebrity's earnings, but the agency may have to pay for comp tickets to UFC or photography fees.

And for fans still thinking Kosterman is a "bodyguard" or security?   Never forget this:

Door holder on the left, real bodyguard on the right

Mayo "Maya" Henry 2.0?

 

 

This Just Jared post had all kinds of shades of "Mayo" Henry:  "POV you went from being a deranged fan girl at age 15...to being Zayn's lead love interest in his MV and getting posted on his IG." The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sigh.

 

🚩🚩

 

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

 

Alright. Homestretch, folks. Let's wind up this overview with a couple of Just Jared lightning bolts, 🤣

 

• A former Jake beard alert:

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied donezo - preceded by mentions of alleged infidelity on Benjamin's part... 🗲🗲

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aaaaand, an Austin Nichols former beard alert:

 

smh - another "marriage" fail

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thirteen months later, looks like allllll that Italian, Lake Como (a familar stunt locale - aka Liam Payne) boating extravaganza has come to nought.  Just donze-o after those "leaning into happiness" headlines? We wonder if Kator Gems was an installment plan or just a one- day rental fee.  Bottom line is that any fan who is buying these "relationships" of Sophia's, just has not been paying attention.   So many rinse and repeat cycles of hook up and dumps, with her "ex" always being the bad guy or not worth her time and devotion.  She is always the victim of a cad's "cheating" or just plain "unlucky in love".  Come on, those guys can't all be cads.  No, the explanations are simply that another contract has ended.

Two years ago, August 15, 2021, Narnia's own Methodical Muser posted an excellent timeline of Ms. Bush's "dating" history, immediately calling the "engagement" a sham.

"Will the Truth Prevail When Timelines Collide?:  The Dating History of Sophia Bush" is a quite interesting read.

After all, it never hurts to revive the ol' memory chips once in a while!  😄

Note Oct 21, 2023:  to show how things can quickly change, in a soon-following post, we will see indeed how things have changed for Sophia Bush.  

 

💍💍💍💍💍💍

 

Let's close with a couple of quick miscellaneous notes/queries.

What's with fans posting photo shops?   This particular photo shop is by an alleged Chiefs fan, who claims she attended one of the Chiefs summer training camp practices and saw Narnia fave, Travis Kelce.   This photo looked innocent enough at first.

 

 

The fan had a simple question about whether Travis was wearing glasses in that photo?  It was a question designed to invite engagement from others.  

But when you look a bit closer, you realize that Travis's left leg is a totally different shade, and his right leg is a composite of two legs - with two different skin tones.

In addition, part of Travis's right shoe is missing, and it looks like he's practically stepping on top of someone, "walking" in front of him, to his right.  Because so many people use their phones to view images it's not surprising that photos are often not challenged. Also, with more frequent study, one's eye becomes more trained to spot the trickery.

Who knows why someone would do this, other than maybe just to mess with people or to gradually get viewers accustomed to fake imagery.  But this kind of social media team manipulation is typical of what one sees quite often when it comes to celebrity photos, particular if a certain "romantic" narrative is being constructed. Let's put it this way:  if someone possesses a photo shop skill set, there could be a job for you in the entertainment industry.

By this point, who cares if Travis is "wearing glasses" or not?  Although such a seemingly innocuous question does test the waters to see what kind of engagement/impressions a celebrity is getting. The kind of info important for other decisions in the future from the Kelce team, like whether or not to initiate a fake relationship with a certain high-profile entertainer...oh, like maybe a Taylor Swift. #JustSayin'

👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓

Finally, a few odds and ends regarding the evolution of Jake Gyllenhaal's appearance - 

• Hard to believe this is Jake Gyllenhaal today in 2023 (scroll down for pic)?   But first, for comparison, here he was at the LA Conservation Luncheon back in 2009,

 

 

Then...

2003,

2008,

and even casually backstage back in 2019, a crease-less T shirt,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even when getting a haircut in 2011, he has a pristine sweater!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coats and jackets are a perfect fit!  Rarely a crease to be had.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A gas pumping pap outing (say that 3x real fast!),

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So how could one not help but notice in June of this year 2023, when Jake just looked so different merely because his (linen?) shirt was wrinkled?!  It's funny the things that standout after being so used to years of photos and observing the style tendencies of someone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've been so used to Jake in his right-out-of-the-box pristine sneakers and smooth T-shirts and sweaters, it was weird to see rumpled clothing on him.  LOL!

 

 

Let's end this post with some One Direction:

 

• Back in late June, Louis Tomlinson was set to perform at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Denver, Colorado, when the weather took a horrific turn for the worse.  With so many of the fans inside the theater waiting for the show to start and not enough time to evacuate and seek shelter when a terrible hailstorm hit, many injuries occurred. Mother Nature can be quite frightening.  Not to mention the numerous broken windshields.  The images looked like a scene from a disaster film.

But as so often happens with the One Direction fandom, people helped one another, shared evacuation information, offered stranded people rides and other support, even looking for lost possessions and offering to help pay for gas. Indeed, One Direction is still one of the most resilient fandoms around. This particular fan said she had made it to safety when a concerned peer asked if she was okay.  And she still managed to find a light moment in the midst of the distress and Narnia loves that her Louis doll made it through the storm as well.

 

  

We hope that all of these fans are able to still see Louis in the near future at Red Rocks and under nothing but a star-lit sky. 🌟🌟🌟🌠

 

•  In conclusion, just another daily reminder that none of the One Direction men are free yet. Even Zayn Malik, who has consistently been made to look as if he makes his own decisions ever since he "left" the group in March 2015, is still under obvious restrictions:

 

Just spoon-feeding readers that this photo was courtesy of "Khai" has to be gaslighting at its very best.  The idea that any 2.5-year-old toddler knows how to operate a cell phone camera is simply not funny either. Not when the man in the photo is closeted and has no ability to correct the record.  Baba farmer, indeed. 

And then this nonsense from the ex-beard's camp in an interview in Net-A-Porter, via Just Jared:

 

 

 

 

While there have been signs of loosening, and some new professional freedoms, these kinds of nagging, eye rollers still let us know, not-so-fast.

Sunday Musings: Water(melon) Cooler Polls, ATX Smoke 'n Mirrors Everywhere

Hello! Just hanging out here, inspired by Liam's tweet poll and so I thought it might be fun to toss out some ideas as well of what Liam could try during his You Tube series, which has been just a delight since he began.  

What do you want to see in my next weekly round up video?

— Liam (@LiamPayne) May 22, 2020

 

Cooking?  Oh, I'm here for more Liam cooking.

Don't you love the way you can see all the evidence of Liam's cooking on the counters?  ;-)

Love the way Liam cooks - this author can identify!  My counters can get a bit helter skelter as well.

Puppies?  Would there be any question?  Can I put in a personal request for baby goat or baby sheep in a sweater? 🐑

Liam and music?  Well, he's so talented and sings so well, with accompaniment or without, we could only be so blessed.

And reminiscing?  About???  His past musical experiences?  Well, how about branching off one of these ideas, hmmmm??


•  Past travels - Liam has visited so many places in the world, some of us could only dream about all the cities and countries he's been to.  Without revealing a whole lot, Liam could share a snapshot of some very cool places that left an impression on him.  Maybe there's a point of interest or local custom that had an impact on him.  Saw something being crafted that he had never seen before.  Share some personal experience related to one of the One Direction tours! Something we didn't know before.  


• Art work.  Surely in his travels, Liam has witnessed works of art.  One can walk around Chicago and NYC and see interesting pieces of public art.  In Kansas City, we have the cows and the shuttlecocks, for instance. Or there's the famous Butter Statuary at the Iowa State Fair.

They're pretty cool, eh?  ;-)   


• Share some favorite tunes.  Does he own any vintage records or music playing devices?   What is a song that he thinks we would be surprised he might like?  

• I saw an observation on social media this past week that Louis was more of lyricist whereas Liam was more of the melody writer.  Is that true and if so, where does he get his ideas for melodies?  That is a huge talent (either one - lyrics or melodies) - how does a melody come to his mind?  Does he sit at a piano and play the keys or has he been driving and a piece of melody just hits him?  Athletes try out moves out on the court, dancers move in front of the mirrors, inventors are always in the lab.  How does a musician hone his or her craft?

• What are some fabulous dishes he has had in all of his travels? Is he an adventurist when it comes to trying all kinds of new foods?  Design a menu.  Does he create a table with a mood for those date nights or is it a simple seat at the dining table with the "good" silver?

There could be many longtime fans who already know some of these details, but just ruminating on this topic, perhaps these are some future ideas Liam could try?  What do you think?  The possibilities are out there and waiting.  But then again, who doesn't love to watch Liam cook?  The pasta he dished up last Sunday looked delicious.  His animated string of reactions to the pan fire was classic and I'm going to end with this picture which I like:  The strainer resting on the burners.  The little dog salt and pepper shakers. 

 
Look at the pasta utensil floating in the saucepan.  And the nearness of the tablet to that fire is giving me anxiety, Liam!  lol.  

Whatever Liam comes up with, I'm sure his fans will give him some wonderful ideas.  Kudos to him for venturing into You Tubing.  

➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢

And then there's Austin. 

lol.  Awwww, gotta love our two dinosaurs Jake and Austin.  Here is Austin trying his hand again at dancing, with his real life hubs' talent agency WME/Endeavor shoehorning in a mention of one of their clients, The Weeknd.   (Oh yes, Austin's social media had to have been included as part of Jake's deal.)

Here's Austin with what looks more like a taxidermy or carnival game booth version of his formerly nameless pup.  

View this post on Instagram

Thanks to @theweeknd for getting us pumped up for the weekend with Blinding Lights. Thanks to my nieces for teaching me the choreography.

A post shared by Austin Nichols (@austinnichols) on May 15, 2020 at 11:10am PDT

That's sure one "sound-sleeping" pup, isn't it?  

Anyway, we're always up for new pictures of either Austin or Jake. Looks like Big Sis Ashley has miraculously appeared and is allowing her image to be used to help her brother. 

This one was actually even more off the mark:

Can you count all of the pandemic how-not-to's between the video and these two pictures?  lol.  Good lord, Austin.  So since Austin isn't wearing a mask with his nieces, are we to assume the Nichols/Stovall pandemic compound has been a thing since the lockdown? Hmmm.  But I thought Austin had his own house in Austin, TX?  Why would he be in the Stovall house with his nieces and have no mask on????  And gotta love Austin's reply to someone who commented on the video, asking if the dog was dead.  And Austin replied, "just super tired".  

Oh, and notice who's missing?  Right, Austin's beard Chumley.  Chumley, who Rowdy replies to in the comments "wish you were here!"  So Chumley hasn't been "documented" with Austin since the shutdown, yet here she is with the pup, who has shrunk in size again.  She never even did a birthday post for who is supposed to be her boyfriend!  And it was a milestone birthday???

They all might want to 1) start a hashtag of #InconsistencyGoals and 2) just ponder the cross-pollination of households as reflected in what are supposed to be post-COVID pictures and captions.

And now?   It's the Sahara Desert again. Both Jake and Austin have been lying low once again, imagine that. 

Aaah, the trials of following those two....it's the rise and the fall, the ebb and the flow.  The predictability of it all.  😏  But, still entertaining after all these years.


➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢

And who do we have here, but Mr. Niall Horan appearing on BBC's Radio 1 program, performing his first release, This Town.  Niall is so right about acknowledging the creativity of artists who have performed live during the pandemic. Sounding very nice here, Nialler!

Blessed to be living in the same time as Niall Horan. pic.twitter.com/uuKjnBBzYg

— Kelly Cool Kid 🔥☕️ 💔⛈ (@ZenFloof) May 23, 2020

 

His on-air stint is supposed to be on You Tube today, May 24 (let's hope not at the same time as Liam, should he air another You Tube episode).  Some tweeters were able to capture some moments and shared them online.  We thank them!   And this person shares that Niall is going to be guesting on Graham Norton this coming Friday, May 29 - not in the studio, of course.

So we've had Liam promoting Midnight, Niall promoting Nice to Meet Ya, Harry with his Watermelon Sugar music video, even if the production was uber hetero-laced with a wink wink to the gay side of the fandom.  Who's been standing out in the rain and cold with their music promos?

Yep.  And,

Exactly - Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.   Couldn't look more and more obvious as the years have gone by, could it?  Both men have tremendous fan support, but the last time I looked, doesn't seem the fans are turning in timesheets to the record companies, are they?  Didn't think so.  Just something to think about, particularly since Zayn supposedly left the group on his own accord.  One would think he would have signed with someone who would be promoting his music. Of course, like with all the guys, we here at Narnia know the answer to that question. Sony/Syco is manipulating all their images and trying to pit one guy against the other so the One Direction fandom continues to erode.

  




















➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢


Speaking of erosion, there's a sheer mudslide going on in the J2 fandom and Supernatural fandom as a whole. It's been trickling for years, erupted into full-blowout mode,

And now, the eruption is just a steady trickle due to the ongoing destruction of the fandom.  The end of the show is near, both Padalecki and Ackles camps are running practically a 'round the clock RSS feed of "separate family" Narrative Stories.  [Extra college-try points to the Pads for their ramped up use of the eldest son "with" Genevieve!] 

We're not going to rinse and repeat the posts from their steroidal displays, but one should ask why so OTT when neither actor has a show airing right now.  And in fact, their present show Supernatural is drawing to a close, with the ratings reflecting a need for an oxygen hook-up.  And it can't even really be for Jared's new show, Walker, because guess what?  It's not airing until 2021.  Supernatural will return in the fall with seven episodes (they haven't even filmed the last two, including the finale).

Regarding a specific timetable re: shooting the final two Supernatural episodes, Pedowitz hedged, “We hope that they will be able to start shooting sometime in late summer or fall. And if not, we will then become flexible and rearrange our scheduling.” - CW president, Mark Pedowitz from TV Line

Okay....and what about Jared's new show, Walker, which also airs on the same network, the CW? 

Meanwhile, the forthcoming Walker, which received a straight-to-series order in January, will go into production after Supernatural wraps shooting. The series will then take over Supernatural‘s traditional Thursday-at-8 pm slot in January.

Ohhhh.  Boy, that works out just right, doesn't it?  Meanwhile, as they await the phone call to come back to work, Jared and Jensen are living their best domestic lives together, just like Austin and Jake are.  They obviously just feel they need to be seen in each of their "domesticated" settings non-stop, for whatever reason. 


After all, there are all those "helpful" interviews that Jensen and beard Danneel are doing for their comrades Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton, plus don't forget the Jewel interview.  And then this "wedding anniversary" promo.

Happy 10th Anniversary @JensenAckles you can call me Al or Betty or Bob as long as you call me your partner for the foreseeable future. I had fun making this little video with you, injuries aside. 😂😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Big thank you to @leoresig @johnresig @chive for allowing us on your set and @javiermercedesx for filming this beautiful mess. The biggest thanks of all to @paulsimonofficial and @chevychase for one of the greatest videos of all time and one of my favorite songs! 👈If you know me ..you know Graceland ...and you know this is true🎶

A post shared by ᴅᴀɴɴᴇᴇʟ ᴀᴄᴋʟᴇs (@danneelackles512) on May 15, 2020 at 10:39am PDT

The OTT "anniversary" promo wasn't surprising at all - this het train's got hopper cars for miles, apparently.  ;-)  What was surprising were these kinds of reactions on the J2 blog, Spn Goss:


"Tbh, I was actually enjoying it more than I was expecting to enjoy something like this."


"I enjoyed it to."  and  "Glad they're good friends who can have fun together."

"I thought it was really great, tbh."  and  "I hope they make more stuff like this. It's really entertaining..."

Huh??  What is this Bizarro World?  Where's my John Travolta gif?!

LOL!!  Can you imagine any dinosaur Jaustin fans saying this about Austin and Chumley?  Chlo?  Or Jake and Reese Witherspoon?   What world is that for a fan who believes in their OTP?  lol.  This is besides the prediction:  had that been Jared and Genevieve Padalecki, the vitrol would've taken off like Mt. St. Helen's on a bad day. 

The J2 and Supernatural fandom is going through an apocalypse unlike anything Jaustin fans ever saw.  As Bill Murray's character in Ghostbusters said,

 

















The ceiling limitation for pandering with the meard is nonexistent, as evidenced by the following Jared-Excluded event:

 


(Is all of the pandering of Destiel and Cockles a hint at what is to come in the final episodes of the show, Supernatural?) Anyway, we can only hope for released video of this Lego online event, can't we?  It has the potential to be quite interesting.  *crossing fingers*

➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢

LATE BREAKING:  Liam's new You Tube is out, filled with a wonderful assortment of topics, including how melodies come to his mind!   Now that's an enjoyable check mark.

And that is an outstanding idea to reach out to the fans for an intro.  There are so many talented people out there, particularly in his fandom and 1D's, he will enjoy looking at all of them.  I can't wait to see what he uses.  

And let's close with this wonderful gem from the past week which is a true gift discovery by someone in the fandom.

so ur telling me that harry made a video about people trying to change him but then a fish saved him??? and ur ALSO telling me that there’s a book LOUIS the FISH about a man named louis who people try to change but then he turns into a happy fish??? IS THIS WHAT YOU’RE TELLING ME

And Liam with his own bandmate shoutout:

You know, some folks used to come on Oh My Godot blogspot back in the day and they wanted photos of the kids.  They wanted photos of Jake and Austin together in order to have pictorial proof before they would believe the kids or Jaustin existed.  Some fans wanted pictures of Jared and Jensen in some kind of intimate photo before they would believe that they were together.  


What some fans don't understand is that these men have reached that point in the relationship and their profession, that fans are not going to get that.  You're not going to get a picture of them BBQ'ing in the backyard with their children.  You're asking for a dry sidewalk in a rainstorm.

But, the smart ones have learned that it is in the clues, the subtle shoutouts, the watermelon emoji, the Louis the Fish, the Chicago Bulls cap... that we have confirmation which is contrary to something negative within a fandom by men who want to be heard.

In this day of NDA's, big money contracts, sponsorships, and Big Brother pressure, we have to learn to keep our eyes and mind open.  In One Direction's case, there are shout-outs.  In the cases of Jared and Jensen, and Jake and Austin?  They're called slip-ups.  LOL!

Have a great week, everyone!!
