Narnia's Usual "Bad Boys" Up to the Usual Same Old, Same Old - We Know the Drill at This Point

 

Okay well, it's Back to School time, kids! 😄  Back to the books, the alarm clock, and the whole routine.  For parents, it's those phone calls while you're at work once the kids get home, and settling sibling arguments.  

And this month, it seems for us at Narnia, back to nonsense!

A few of Narnia's fave pairs have families and have been trying to divert attention away from the fact they've been enjoying summer vacations.  

But mid-August means the end of that, and time to get back into those routines.  

Believe it or not, Jakers and Austin still have at least ONE in school (BabyT Congras), if not several more.  Their offspring are no longer at that preschool/elementary school stage anymore (well, unless SXSW2024 Sushi Lunch 2.0 is an indication of something different! 😱)  

It was predictable therefore to see Jake (or very probably, his image) "canoodling and packing on the PDA" (to borrow Just Jared's telltale wording!) with beard Jeanne Cadieu at the Olivia Dean concert, Madison Square Garden.  Thus, placing Jakers strategically in New York City, far, far, far away from his SO Austin, who had been in Ireland, but posted that he was soon headed "home".

We're not wasting Narnia space on yet another alleged "stepping out" by Jake and Morticia.  If you'd like to see a tweet of the hinky looking video, here you go, brought to everyone by ol' "@Goldenhaall".  The fact that the source is "Goldenhaall" is, right off the bat, Strike One against the count of validity.  ⚾

Narnia extends Happy Birthday greetings to Baby Tile Leadville and perhaps a "Welcome Home" to the Gyllynichols Fam if they have indeed pulled up stateside and piled into their Family Shuttle, headed to wherever it is they're setting up camp.  😂   Whether they're really in the States or still across the pond, summer vacation is over, kids!  😊📘📐🏫🚌 

Seems a shame to talk about Jake and Austin without any kind of photo.  So let's show an oldie but goodie.

 

🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌

And seems like ever since Jared Padalecki's meard Anson Gordon was mentioned in Narnia's post, "Sunday Musings:  It's a Summer of Travis Kelce and Stale Bread" on August 2, those two have knocked themselves out silly promoting a brand new, conjured-up project: a viewing party for "Supernatural" because apparently, Gordon has never seen that show.  LOL!  You can't make this stuff up.   

So it is looking like perhaps the unconditioned, static-y, just-took-the-beanie-off look is the new "beanie".  Gotta have Jared looking like a wild man now.  So he can be without the beanie, but the hair's gotta look Friday the 13th.  Don't worry, we're keeping up with you, TPTB. 😉 

And for those stans, I mean fans who want to go off about being "mean"; no, you look.  This can be Jared:

Here he was again with "his boy", Gordon (Jensen was probably super excited over that one! 😏),

Days before, Jared's twitter account was used by his people to make him look clueless with regard to Perez Hilton.  His people have set a long-time precedent of using his twitter account to establish and enforce narratives, incidents that Narnia has documented over the years.  His team loves to make him look clueless, insensitive, an ogre, and/or a victim.

Anyway, we're not going to show the "supportive" tweet which was followed by "I didn't know, I had no idea his history!", followed by the lengthy "tweet correction and apology", along with examples of fandom attacking and apologists.  It's the usual old hat, but mostly due to the sensitive subject matter, there just is no need to give them cyber space.  We've seen this rerun before.

To use Hilton's breakdown episode to 1) manipulate his fandom and 2) enforce the 2015 originated narrative of Jared's own alleged struggles, shows once again how sensitivity is not a visible quality of these pr teams.

Plus, his team has used Perez Hilton before to help sell a narrative or two in the past. 

Oh look, Perez wrote in the past about the "very bad car accident" which involved the meard, Anson Gordon, who had tried to insinuate that he had also been in that same "accident", but just couldn't fully commit. 😒  Narnia wrote all about this "very bad car accident" in May 2022, in our post "Monday Musings Pt 1:  Let's Hear It For the Boys Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, and Jared Padalecki (By Default)".

2022

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boy, does that give the flashbacks.  😰

And taking a quick glance at the online written activity regarding Jared's twitter account and the Perez Hilton incident, we see a red flag pattern that's become quite familiar to readers of Narnia:

 

"Poor" Jared.  

• Had to "apologize".  

• Had to "delete".  

• "Backlash"  

• "Explains Why" 

See those negative words in the subject lines?  Signs this was yet another stunt.

For those readers who are unaware, Jared is a former high school debater who once thought of becoming an engineer.  He has those kinds of smarts.  And so these repetitive bouts of "poor Jared" are what?  Month old, stale bread.  

Narnia knows he's fully capable of that Sara Lee fresh-from-the-store quality!   💪 🍞

 

🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

 

Last week, Travis Kelce joined the ranks of contract-driven, similar performances.  

First of all, following his training camp post-practice presser, when he sent "Tayvis" fans tweet-squeeing over his use of the word "my wife".  😴

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Narnia would refer to this as Bearding 101.

Back in 2009, Jakers set off the car alarms when he used the phrase "my girlfriend" to refer to Reese Witherspoon at a press conference for his movie, "Brothers".   At that time, it was significant for Jake to do.

Jake Gyllenhaal called Reese his “girlfriend” at a press conference for Brothers. According to People Magazine, Jake said: “I’ve learned so much from the kids in my life, and somehow they just become the center of your life and the way you look at things. Obviously I exist in my girlfriend’s world and my sister’s world in a different way, but it’s opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it.” - Grazia Australia via People via hollyscoop via OhNoTheyDidnt, Dec 05, 2009 

Of course, what's kind of amusing is that less than two weeks later would come word that Jakers and Witherspoon had "broken up".  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And who can forget, in March 2017, when an airport stunt was performed, all so that Louis could be documented as saying "my girlfriend". By the way, everyone knows, the phrase is, "me girlfriend". Get it right, tabloids. I mean if you've been tasked with spreading PR narratives at least be accurate in the fabrication.

Copy of a copy of a copy, right? 

 

 

And second of all, a wedding ring worn on the field at the Rams pre-season game?  For the cameras?  smh

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's a first.  😄

 

 

📢📢📢📢📢📢📢

 

Goodness.  Patterns, patterns, patterns. 

Well, let's wrap this one up as it was all full of shenanigans, wasn't it?  

This was very nice to see.  Travis with DeJuan Bonds at the Purple Label Barber Shop (I massively apologize for not knowing the other gentleman! I'm mud. If someone wants to let Narnia know, please do so, in order that he can be credited.).  This Instagram story photo may've been taken on Saturday, August 8 of this year as it was posted that evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the 4th of this month, Austin posted an old photo of the family dog, I mean his dog Otis.  These are great. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're speechless!

 

And speaking of speechless, here was Louis in St Louis in June, looking and sounding terrific.

 

Louis has the charm, doesn't he?  He was proud of Team UK as he should be.  Team Narnia was pulling for them in the World Cup!

And ending with some Johnny Gage and Roy Desoto,

Caption this: 

LOL!  Look at them.

Okay, well that's all we've got.  This needs to go to press before it's not Monday anymore! What a disaster.   😅

Aaah Yes, T'was another August

 

😂  The little baby penguin just cracks me up.

Well, depending on who you follow, the summer season can sometimes mean a dearth of content. 

In the case of Jake and Austin, they aren't seen much at all, but it's for a nice reason!   They are living their lives with their kiddos in what seems to have become the annual Summer of Gyllynichols.

That is, until the arrival of August, the month of Baby Tile Leadville's birthday and anniversary of Jake & Austin's romantic celebration of his birth under the guise of attending the Leadville race in 2010.  When August comes, we can usually expect to be pleasantly surprised by one or both men poking their heads out to say, "See, I'm not with Jake and the kids!" or in Jake's case, "See, I'm not with Austin and the kids!"  And "See, there's no Baby Tile Leadville!"

This year, we were blessed with appearances by both.

Austin let us know that he was asked to direct Episode 2 of season 3 of Jared's show, Walker.  His Instagram account posted several stories; this one was posted on Monday, August 8.  Here's the mad scientist, lol - er, I mean Austin:

Hard to say when exactly the episode was truly filmed as there was an awful lot of hinky announcements and smoke & mirrors surrounding Walker's filming status.   And surprisingly, this time around, there was not any play-by-play social media ballyhoo indicating that they were at any time, filming.  Since the tumblr/twitter "word" was that the show was filming three (3) episodes at once, well, it would be understandable that there was no time for anyone to be on their phones.  Noses were constantly to the grindstone in order to get all this delayed filming caught up and completed!

 

Following Austin's social media appearance, his Main Squeeze was photo-shopped, I mean "seen" with his beard, allegedly in New York City back on August 2nd.   Here's the lovely "couple".

Is there even anything in that Walgreens bag?

And the reason we're doubting this outing is because unless Jake has come up with a new way to make the face mask an intravenous feed, uh... the left side of the string disappears into his ear lobe, or what is supposed to be.  In fact, the ear lobe seems to have practically disappeared!  Crazy!

 

 

 😁  We're also looking for his left eye as well.  

And there's a point to be made for the line of skin-tone merger that you can see running down the middle of the neck, in the left photo, it's at more of an angle. While to the right, the line is straight up and down.  A total difference in skin tone and no, the discrepancy is not caused by "shadows".

Come on, Visuals Effects Team! Or, is the crew called the Image Manipulation Unit?  Either way, step it up, please.  Dropping the ball like that is unprofessional. 😉   It is interesting to note the fish on the ball cap - a leftover souvenir from last year's family Mammoth Springs summer vacay, perhaps???

 

NONE-theless, it was nice to see both men make their annual appearance just around Baby Tile Leadville's birthday. A day that Narnia is getting a strong feeling might be able to be nailed down to August 8, as has been speculated before.  Let's see, that would mean Baby Tile Leadville turned twelve (12) years old this year.  We wonder if Busy Philipps will be baking another one of those baby monkey birthday cakes to post to her Instagram account?

Goodness gracious, Jake and Austin have another kiddo approaching teen-hood, can you believe that?  Driving permits, teen idol wall posters, and Claire's Boutique shopping are getting to be closer to the future than Fisher Price is in the present, for the Gyllynichols household, aren't they? 😊

A trip back through memory lane:  Remember back in 2013 when Austin was spotted at a Ralph's Grocery store and a friend of his wondered if the "adorable kid" he was with, was his son?  Perhaps the tot was Baby Tile Leadville, who would've just turned three years old at that time.

 

 

 

He must have looked quite similar to Austin, huh? In any event, it's always bittersweet to remember the early days. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. *Sniff*  They just grow up so fast.

•  Oh look, yet another convention cancellation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Less than two weeks before the convention.  Once again, it was Jared.   And look at the use of the word "gutted" by the Jib account, intended to be a direct reference to Jared's tweet over the alleged "prequel-gate" nonsense.  A big clue that his cancellation was scripted to happen. 

There was some blah-blah nonsense about film delays being caused by COVID (how many positive outbreaks has that set had, anyway?), filming is running behind, and so forth and so on. Supposedly filming three episodes at once, boy, the Walker set was just in a frenzy of filming and executive producer Jared couldn't take a few days off for a commitment that is made annually?  Not only that, but for a commitment where fans saw this convention previously cancelled several times due to what?  Due to COVID restrictions and risk.  

 

And of course, there was the fan police to scold the fan who was understandably upset over the cancellation.  

 

 

According to a good handful of employees, ahem, I mean fans, Jared couldn't leave filming due to COVID-caused delays, and the show had to film three (3) episodes at once.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three (3) episodes at once!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who started this COVID reason anyway?  Why do these three guys (Jared, Jensen & Collins) always have flaky multi-stories floating around?  The more confusion, the harder it is to determine the truth, perhaps?  Oh look, Jared "clarified" things during one of his Zoom call-in's at JIB.

 

 

 

The hospital could only be reserved for three days (I thought it was abandoned? lol) and those three days fell all around and over JibCon12.   Darn the luck.  So much for Jared Padalecki being an Executive Producer in charge of schedules. 

 

What power does executive producer have?

Television. In television, an executive producer usually supervises the creative content, plans and schedules the filming with the producer and team and may be involved in the financial budgeting of a production.

 

Pardon Narnia if we raise our eyebrows yet again with this crew.  And we can't help but smirk at this tweet:

😬  

We don't have all day to work with all of these "leads".  Perhaps as time goes on, it might become more clear what road Jared and Jensen are on as far as these too-frequent cancellations are concerned, but at this point, they are happening too often with "filming" and "scheduling conflicts" given as reasons. Their track record for stunt-related convention cancellations speaks for itself. 

Filming three episodes at once, abandoned hospital limited for filming...yet somehow, Jared managed to work in a couple of Zoom call appearances to the Jib convention panel stages.  One of the calls was even in the middle of his day - around 11 a.m. in the morning.  Right smack dab in the middle of the day.  In one video, he appeared during Collins' panel on Saturday (gee, that makes so much sense, doesn't it, with Collins? *eyeroll*) and in the other, on Sunday with guest Adam Rose (who appeared on Supernatural twice) and Ruth Connell.

So, the show runner(s) of JibCon could have worked out at least on one of the days to give the fans a Jared appearance on one of co-lead Jensen's panels, but apparently no can do!  Nope!  Stands out like a sore thumb, doesn't it?  

Seems to us at Narnia that an old wooden roller-coaster is more stable than these stories from Jared, Jensen, Collins, and Co. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• All of this being said, this particular question and answer posed to/answered by Jared and Jensen during their recent Washington D.C. Convention was very interesting, if you are paying attention.  Because both of their answers for the other partner was a direct contrast to their public images when asked if they could write a role for the other, what would the role be? (the question/answer starts at 15:30 in this You Tube video)

See what they did?  Jensen, who their team portrays as anything but a father figure, desired by all, working all the time, away from his children - Jared would like people to see him portray a dad.  And Jared, who their team portrays as this highly volatile, fragile, "big dumb friend" of Jensen's - Jensen would like people to see him as intellectually driven.  I do think fans have been very gullible to fall into these PR team traps.  Although both men have gleefully at times, played right into those roles, so...which comes first, the chicken or the egg?  It's really a bad carnival ride that doesn't ever stop.

 

•  And one more note to end on, back to our other previously mentioned couple.  One, an old/unseen photo of Austin popped up.  On Tumblr, of all places.  

And with him in the middle is Wimbledon co-star Paul Bettany and on the left is another former co-star from the same movie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.   You always wonder who the account holder really is when you see a never-before-seen photo like this because it's a personal one.  If you notice in the photo, there is a partial glimpse above of other photos, they look like they could be of Austin as well.  Interesting, interesting...

And his other half, Mr. Jakers, is letting everyone under the sun know that filming has allegedly begun on his latest film, the remake of Roadhouse.

Filming has begun!  Day One!  Why was it trumpeted so? 😉

 

Is that a current pic of Jake?  We here at Narnia are just wondering. 😉  That's his director Doug Liman he's posing with.  What's more interesting, is where they're supposed to be filming - the Dominican Republic.   For any longtime Jaustinites, that small country rings a bell because it is where the uber private Tortuga Bay Resort is located and where Jake & Austin are believed to have spent time together.  

The Dominican Republic is also the only place where the stone larimar is found.  Like the larimar stone in Austin's ring, dubbed "Big Blue" by the Grand Poobah, Special K, herself.

Could there be some reminiscing and re-visiting going on in addition to some filming, eh???

Hopefully, they're not having a Lost Daughter re-enactment, but rather, one of these...
