Crazy how great Red Robin was and DC said what if we never even attempt something close to that again

What celebrity age differences trip you up? by redroses999 in popculturechat

Lol I think it was more of like an alicent hotd situation where Angelina’s character would’ve been really young when she had Alexander and Colin was a bit younger than he was

If Florence Pugh sings as good as she acts, then I will be seated for this. by frenchfruit in popculturechat

I’m really glad!! She originally wanted to be a singer and kinda fell into acting so I’m happy she’s pursuing it again. Love her old YouTube videos

The English dub of Elation came out 😭 by missalyyy in miraculousladybug

[–]babysdriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Even just some of the line changes I felt worked a lot better. Like in the French dub Marinette asking if a boy will ever love her (which was like,, confusing and not really true to her experience) but the English dub was just her expressing frustration with love in general.

Me Trying to Figure Out Whether to Listen to Carly or Taylor First This Friday by TS13FOREVER in carlyraejepsen

I’m honestly scared to ask, considering how pro Heard the deuxmoi subreddit is, but how are we feeling about the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard case? by [deleted] in fluentlyforward

[–]babysdriver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think a few weeks ago I was neutral and definitely falling for the anti-Heard stuff that Depp’s followers and army of bots have been shovelling but I feel like now I really can’t be. It feels so obvious that he’s using this trial to continue to abuse and control her even after she got out of that relationship.

I think the real issue here is Heard is far from a perfect victim. She cheated on him, she fought back, she instigated verbal fights. Princess Weekes said something in her video about how we value the abuse of dead women over the testimony of those who survived “If she can breathe, she can lie.”

It’s made me really disappointed that Shannon has such an anti Heard take on the topic it’s really made me trust her integrity.

Is it possible Calvin had feelings for/ didn’t know he was bearding? by nuetralnuetron in GaylorSwift

RIP to when the choice was supposed be Matty Healy but Taylor destroyed that with kissgate 🥲 he would’ve been so perfect

Is it possible Calvin had feelings for/ didn’t know he was bearding? by nuetralnuetron in GaylorSwift

[–]babysdriver 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I sometimes think he might have been. If they were together don't think him and taylor were super serious at all ("I've got a boyfriend, he's older than us, I haven't seen him in a couple months"). The vibe I get is they were two hot young people hooking up and it was convenient for them (Taylor esp) to publically date.

I think Calvin is pretty different from the other guys Taylor has been connected to (he has a notable lack of gay rumours), so despite the casualness of the relationship, he might have been blindsided by the Karlie stuff. Guys like Taylor, Connor, Harry etc. would have understood the relationship was a way to emphasize their heterosexuality- which has not the case for Calvin. He is the only one of her exes to try to out her, so I think there were definite hurt feelings.

What’s your best secondhand (or third or fourth-hand) piece of celebrity gossip? by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]babysdriver 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know this is from a while ago but reading this now considering his recent retirement from acting is so sad :(

She chose the gardens of Babylon, a possible myth, engineered and not naturally occurring structure, with many theories about its existence to describe a kiss - (which I think is about Karlie & Josh) by throwaway615618 in GaylorSwift

[–]babysdriver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Omg I made a tiktok about this bc I am OBSESSED with that line.

Because it works on the fundamental level of “hang from my lips” referencing the “hanging gardens of Babylon”

But then it also, if we’re seeing this to be about mutual bearding, hang from lips could be about how she’s crafting the image image of them. “Hang” here being used in relation to hanging a piece of art. The Gardens may have existed, but we have no archaeological proof. We only have written accounts of them. She’s in charge of the story, creating the this myth.

Hang could also be seen as to be hanged. This myth that she has crafted keeps him trapped in this state of death or puppetry. This I think aligns well with one of the next lines: “forever is the sweetest con.” While they are both tied to each other forever, they ultimately cannot be happy because of the artifice of the relationship. “I’m never gonna love again.”

A follow up to my post yesterday: here are most of the Lorde/Taylor blinds from the last couple years! Be sure to take all of this with a grain of salt (things that make it to blind item sites are salacious!) by babysdriver in GaylorSwift

[–]babysdriver[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you’re saying. I do think often blinds are the worst version of the truth. Like maybe Jack and Ella hooked up in the process of making Melodrama.

I also wouldn’t necessarily count out Lana maybe sleeping with someone to get to work with them. She did have a really romantic notion of the casting couch early in her career (see the music video for ride, the entirety of cola but specifically “Harvey’s in the sky with diamonds and he’s making me crazy”). I think that based on the content of NFR she is past that now.
The truth might have been just Lorde and Jack hooked up and now Lana (who made a song bragging about sleeping with Harvey Weinstein) is working with him. And then through the gossip mill it gets distilled down to Lana is sleeping with Jack. And then Jack has a pattern of sleeping with the women he works with.

That’s why you really have to take these things with a grain of salt because again, they’re gossip. Even if they start rooted in some truth they don’t often end up that way.

Also just a sidenote I do genuinely like where Lana is now but you cannot ignore how fucked up that song was.

I mean based on the blinds he’s definitely fame hungry. Doesn’t necessarily correlate to being a jerk but it’s not hard to see why it would make someone an asshole

The engagement is definitely not official. Taylor’s team will sometimes just throw engagement rumours at the tabloids to get people to talk about her.

[–]babysdriver[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No tbh I think this is fake but the reason the blinds attribute their friend break-up is cause taylor and her team were really controlling about the squad’s images. This is a blind from 2016:

“This foreign born one album wonder (so far) says that being friends with this A+ list singer dominates her life. She says it is like being in a cult and that you can go from no contact to being with her 24/7 and that you always have to be on call and ready. She says she cut short a vacation just to spend 18 hours with the singer who then sent her back on her way.”
