Sometimes, in the OTP follower's world, when we find ourselves reminiscing about the glory days of our planet aligning pairings versus the status of the present, in the here and now...
Oh, but what a time to be alive!
Dylan O'Brien and Tyler Hoechlin
Zayn Malik and Liam Payne
Niall Horan and Shawn Mendes
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce
Adam Lambert and Kris Allen
Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane
Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson
Tom Holland and Harrison Osterfield
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles
AGAIN - Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki
And because they are such an ancient relic couple (before gifs were even invented) and weren't even allowed to do any press together for The Day After Tomorrow because they were such a loved-up mess apparently, we have nothing but a bunch of old, still photos,
the OG of OTP's,
Austin Nichols and Jake Gyllenhaal
Inspired by these lyrics from Wishing by Flock of Seagulls,
written by A. Score, P. Reynolds, M. Score, F. Maudsley
It's not the things you say
It's not the things you do
But it must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
You'll still walk out the door
If I had a photograph of you
Or something to remind me
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing
One of the fun aspects of fandom on mediums such as Tumblr and You Tube is the creativity and talents of the fans. There are some very talented folks out there and for someone like myself who is a bit more challenged, we can only greatly appreciate and enjoy their visions.
Today's first video is by duchesscloverly, entitled "Wicked Game - Adam and Blake AU", and she splendidly pieced together various video clips to create a fictional AU story. She did a fantastic job and I think the black and white adds even more to the attractiveness of the video, one which has 21,457 views. Duchesscloverly is a very talented gif-maker and video creator - let's have a look at "Wicked Game", which she describes the AU storyline as "Adam has been away on tour for awhile and they are finding the distance to be too much".
This cracked me up, the framed photo of Shevine in "the home":
She did good, didn't she? She blended clips from some Voice videos, but I think she must also have pulled some from Blake and Adam's music vids, as well as from Adam's movie "Begin Again" with Kierra Knightley ". By the opening tone, it would seem that both men's relationship is strained by separation. Interesting enough, the video was uploaded in September 2015, a time when many tumblers began to go inactive. Adam had already gotten "married" to Prinsloo and ol' Gwennie had made her debut on the show and fans could see the handwriting on the wall.
Just looking at several tumblr and You Tube comments (You Tube ones that don't look planted, anyway. 😉), many fans seemed torn between being suspicious of the whole glitzy Shefani show and the palpable chemistry they knew they had seen between Blake and Adam on the television screen. Because so many accounts are inactive now, it's hard to say if there were any who believed they were being lied to with many of the scripted orchestrations on the show, a show that was and still is being used by TPTB to peddle narratives and one which ended up betraying and pushing Adam out to pasture.
Pushed out to pasture? Another case of calculated exile? Say it ain't so! Oh, yeah, it's looking so - a stage that was used to push Adam out to pasture just like Zayn was pushed out of One Direction. Just like Jared Padalecki was and has been pushed out into exclusion since at least 2013. Just like Austin Nichols was slapped with undesirable labels and eventually kept out of public company with real-life husband Jake Gyllenhaal (although theirs and Jared/Jensen's cases are more complicated).
Oh! But not to get off track, a bad habit of mine!
Because Shevine Saturday (so far!) is trying to stay Snuggle Fluffy as much as possible, for the time being. 😉
This following video is an ad for Nissan that Adam and Blake did. Blake drove as well in another ad with Adam, but that one doesn't seem to be available anywhere, not sure why that is. Love the red plaid thermos (with soup!) that Blake clutches throughout.
Blooper time! But they forgot here to include the thermos, lol. It's there, it's gone, it's there again. LOL!
And the Nissan ad gave us another Adam to Blake, "You are. An idiot." moment.
"You are an idiot," - Adam to Blake
Imagine looking so winsome when someone tells you that you're an idiot. That snapshot immediately followed Adam telling him that! 😍 You know who they remind me of?
Tom Holland and his bf Harrison Osterfield
😂 😍 😍 😂
Is that not what we love about our OTP's?
Louis and Harry
Austin and Jake
They light up our screens,
Liam and Zayn
And of course, our subject today - Blake and Adam (I have to say, someone else in this shot thought she was photo-bombing and creating a splash, but Blake didn't seem to have paid any attention, did he? 😍 ):
Here they are:
Blake just being frank! 😊
Pretty hard to top this one
I love how the interviewer says she would watch Blake and Adam making out. LOL! Blake looks like he just pulled an all-nighter, doesn't he? If that was the case, I don't know though, that I've seen anyone look any better after doing so.
This was Adam after Blake called him "Miley" 😍
huge thanks to the creator of this edit - so awesome
I love this screen cap - from The Voice Season 1, Ep. 1
*sigh* If you came here for a heart-eyes 😍 intravenous booster drip, hopefully this will provide just what you needed. It's a real trial to have to edit and review the post, time and time again during the process, let me tell you. I'm glad to take one for the team. 😁
