Re: The State of the Lukola Union

Part 2: "Mixed Message" - They lost the plot

I've always said timelines matter, the spaces in between matter and always always always motivation matters. So, to anyone who thinks that Lukola would purposely pay for the most chaotic narrative ever that toys w/ fans, teeters on career suicide and puts everyone involved in a less than favorable light (to put it mildly), perhaps it's time to come out of the shadows into the light, to use a BT0N phrase.

This, ironically, has been one big MIXED MESSAGE and a not-so secret secret that has completely LOST THE PLOT a long time ago. This is why we see OGs holding on by a thread and so many new theories/ side plots emerging that make less sense than the one before. But Lukolas aren't crazy and what we've been left with lately is a "Where's Waldo" of finding the plot, and a push & pull that leaves any sane person scratching their head.

To recap this past year, off the top of my head: (see if you can keep up) ⬇️

🦀 Part 2 Papgate - The Antluke faux launch

☀️ Antluke post-Sorrento "break up"

🥚 Lukola Easter eggs (Chaos week - Bless the Telephone, Scrabble, milk T-shirt, Juna, etc.)

🍺🌊 All Points Festival/ Malta - emergence of JD as a decoy

🎥 S4 filming, Polin strong

🇪🇸 Spain chaos w/ A insinuations

🏆 N awards/ accolades, more Lukola Easter eggs (Talk talk, the Wordle, claddagh in Tatcha promos, Time article, etc.)

🛩 Brb - soft launch build-up followed by NYC break down

🤐🤰 SILENT PERIOD w/ N still showing up to events but literally starting to show

🍝 Rome chaos w/ A insinuations

👭👯‍♀️ A's image rehab starring the Sohoes

🗣🚫 SAG announcements & interviews - LUKOLA DENIED. 🚢 Note: Fandom blamed for being too invasive and fandom/ ship wars

🍾 New Year of Lukola Easter eggs - potatoes, Trilogy ring, tan lines, "Thank you so much", Misdirected audiobook

👀 More adjacent appearances from both sides

✋️ "Let's get this done"

💑 SAG awards - Lukola soft launch

🎭 The Sheffield files & tales of a bad Mom

👃Antluke pap pics (Boogergate) & concert (Zombie)

🤐 SILENT PERIOD of almost a month w/ no adjacents

🌷Baftas announcement - flowers, Lukola-coded song, Mother's Day

✝️ Easter in Cyprus w/ the Roumeliotis (sounds like a bad reality show)

📰 Fandom Wire Lukola soft launch articles

🃏Uno Reverso - JD & N at Baftas Nominees party, Cannes, and A at The Baftas pre party & ceremony w/ L (staged pics, etc.)

Anyone able to keep track of the plot there??? Because if you think PR engineered this absolute shiteshow then they're wasting their money. And this last round of pap pics have been brutal towards L's image (take a cursory look at the comments on sm if you can stand it, and you'll see what I mean) - that's not a rebrand, that's sadomasochistic, if purposeful.

Since last summer, all I've seen is Lukola trying to emerge as a couple and constantly being shut down, redirected, reprimanded or restricted...

It's every meme one can find of this ⬇️

When it should have been this a long time ago... ⬇️

For those of us who can see behind the curtain, aren't dazzled by PR fakery, get celeb culture & legalize, and recognize celebs for what they are - REAL fallible people - we've known since the original Papgate, that "Something's rotten in the state of Denmark", or Lukolaland as it were. We're waiting for the happy ending to be public because THAT'S what makes sense, and the only plot that has a through line... 💍👶

Oh, C'mon!!! ⬇️

#literally mom and dad #all in time time will reveal

Quick PSA: Speculation/ Ambiguity

So before I get to the point of the PSA, I'll go ahead and address L's sighting today, and unblocking of fans on his IG profile. Call me a skeptic, but the sighting screams collab to me. L's followers have been decreasing (wonder why?) and him alone looking fit helps. As for the poster, sure Jan! She didn't want to ask him for a selfie but proceeds to film him... it's actually edited, too. What happened to "normalise not filming strangers in public"? LOL.

(I can't w/ the mistype of casually) ⬇️

Anyhow, I can see his team wanting to stop the bleeding. His engagement rate is good but he recently undid all the follower growth from S4; after Cyprus in April, it plummeted 📉. He's lost approx. 22k in 2 mos. but last mo. was about 15k alone. It's still not alot in the big scheme, but I'm sure he'd prefer an upward trend when a promo comes out, which is surely imminent... and which leads me to the unblocking: that would also help w/ the decrease.

Note: We determined long ago Lukola's teams likely employed an autoblock feature that looks for key words across social media (not just on their profiles) and blocks anyone using them, so it appears they adjusted his settings... for now 😉 ⬇️

Now onto my PSA...

I've gotten a few messages lately of people confused by the state of the Lukola union, largely because all that's left is the adjacent fakery. Don't forget how we got here! Many end up looking at things in microcosm and forget the OVERALL picture OR are taking to heart opinions of bloggers who have the premise wrong or don't even care what it is, as long as they get traffic to their page. (We've seen many a user flip-flop, and even when proven wrong, try to back track 👩‍🦰)

There's also a herd mentality on the internet where people conform to the masses instead of relying on their independent judgment. A good example of this is on Traitors... the contestants periodically vote for who they think is a traitor and every time the "herd" votes for a person on mere speculation - w/ out any real evidence, which they usually don't have until late in the game - they are usually WRONG. It's a survival mechanism not a tactic to get to the TRUTH... ⬇️

So, if you're just a normal person like me who doesn't follow celebs closely, has never shipped before Lukola, initially followed to merely understand what was going on, and isn't looking for engagement, you must do your own research (or if you decide to blindly trust, that's on you). I try to provide as many evidence based facts as possible but we only have what is publicly available so resources are limited...

That's where logic and timelines come in to eliminate the impossible and land on what is the most probable scenario, which again is up to YOU to analyze; I deduced 3 non-negotiables based on a mountain of evidence over several years, and I believe we've gotten confirmation as time has passed that they are correct. Sure, there's always room for error, but I'm willing to take that risk because it's ultimately just my opinion anyway.

Lastly, the accuracy of certain minutiae doesn't matter... if it can't be proven and it's mere speculation, don't DWELL on it because if it could go either way and it doesn't make a difference to the overall outcome, it doesn't really matter, eh? I.e. Who is in the shadow kiss? Is it current or from mos. ago, and in what city? Why did JVN follow JD just now? Meh. It all gets washed away when Lukola comes out anyway. 🌊🚢💪👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 (Note: not saying NOT to speculate, but keeping it in perspective is important 🙏)

Come to peace w/ ambiguity on details you couldn't possibly know and that don't matter!!! (also, i.e., what A knows, baby names, exact birth dates, etc). Estimation has to be enough for some stuff!!

Update: N's TT followers are also down (see below) so unblocking may help that acct, too... but I'm not opposed to those who think Lukola is opening up a bit (again, speculate w/ a grain of salt). ⬇️

#come to peace with ambiguity #lukola forward

Re: We're still here... OG check-in

God bless those of you who are still matching up locations, body parts and now shadows! lol. My partner & I had a laugh about the shadow kiss (yes my OG partner is still around and like me, follows more loosely nowadays) but it's just so easy to see it's fake, give it a quick glance and move on... 🥱. All I will say is that it could be any couple, and Sienna's man wore many a hat & hoodie on their recent beach trip to Cornwall/ St. Ives, js.

I've written so many posts about false perceptions created by social media, I do feel a bit of déjà vu lol. I have my own story of how I posted a dump w/ some current pics of me in a dress & scarf, and some from 2 mos. prior in that same outfit w/ a friend who was visiting; people messaged my friend thinking he was currently in town.... 🤦‍♂️. So, it seems we can all scroll too quickly and/ or not pay close attention, and be misled. In my case, I innocently posted a mix of new & old pics, but in the case of the PR we've been seeing, it's been purposely misleading...

W/ that, I'm checking in with just a few points...

1) Remember, the adjacents aren't a barometer of anything...

They are just all that's promoted rn and, as I've always said, it's only Lukola coming forward that will give you a sense of a potential reveal. Why? Because we have no idea of the terms of the deal. In fact, an OG Lukola reminded me of a previous post of mine where I broke down L's in-person appearances to show how little time has been invested so far and how it may take more time... ⬇️

Add to this now - PFW (Miu Miu fashion show), MFW (Boss fashion show), the Italian "influencer walk" and Easter in Cyprus... Also, to note: over 23 mos., L has liked 28 new posts of A's and L & A are now on each other's grid twice.

💬 42 🔁 3 ❤️ 97 · Re: The Spaces Inbetween - contract version 📝 · It's all an illusion Many of you ask why has this has gone on so long an

2) The pattern and/ or order of PR doesn't matter atp...

So I say don't assign too much meaning to it or pay it any mind. It's possible Lukola had to scramble to keep the narrative alive when the recent blind item on N popped up (and I think that actually did happen last summer in NYC...) but this time, I'm more inclined to think the blind was to mitigate the post, not vice versa.

I don't think L would put his face on A's grid unless he HAD to, esp. on the heels of his new agency annoucement, whereas the blind randomly denied N being on Ozempic (perhaps to clear it up?), gave JA a boost (he does have 3 movies in the works), reiterated JD is gay (which he is), and helped take the heat off hubby (♡). Win-win-win-win. It's all going to come out in the wash anyway, isn't it?

☝️I'm aware the blind came out 27 min. prior to A's post but the teams would know when she is to post, if they aren't doing it themselves, and also be aware of how bad it would be for Luke, but... ultimately, that all doesn't matter when the fake narrative is still ongoing... and we're right back to point 1), lol!

3) The lawyers are lawyering

It's no secret I believe lawyers negotiated and renegotiated the heck out of an NDA deal. (If you need to catch up, search Legal Anon and/ or the 3 non-negotiables on my timeline). We also know that Lucy Popkin has been Lukola's lawyer from the start but, N made it a point to follow her today... and @funkyjaney also noticed she was mentioned in L's Deadline agency annoucement***

At first I thought the follow may be for sm monitoring purposes, but we know the PR teams are already handling that, so my next thought was it could be a warning to A, and/ or a more pointed sign to say that this hasn't been a choice... Here are some of AI's thoughts on why actors publicly name their legal representation ⬇️

I can see it to establish boundaries for the press or A (seeing as the greatest defense to defamation is the truth, I'd say it's more likely shots fired toward A's side). Or it could be mere protocol but both L & N calling attn. to her is sus (L's article, then N's follow). It's also all based on the limited info. we have rn so there could be something we aren't privy to... 🤷🏽‍♀️

Note: N is in Variety's Power of Women UK issue and LP was in their Legal Impact issue last year. You go, gals! ⬇️

4) Those were the days...

I'm glad to see some reduction in adjacent interest as the only reason we initially followed them was for clues about Lukola being together, then to analyze when Lukola might launch. It was fun coming together, having a laugh or an investigative pow wow or both. If you missed those days, you missed the best of times...

So in honor of the Lukoka FBI: Las Culturistas mentioned Luke's Lobster in a recent episode 🦞. LL also had a "Diner Lobster" special for SNL's 50th anniversary, and Housewife Bethany Frankel was one of the 1st to eat there, so... I can't help but think it was wifey's idea to run by the iconic place w/ her link to SNL, love for Housewives, and the West Village location opening last summer. At least L appeared to be adjacent free (yep, one more reflection lol), even though we know the dump the pic ended up in... 😉🗽 ⬇️

In October 2009, two twenty-something guys opened up Luke's Lobster—a seafood shack in New York's East Village. One year later, they're serv

Re: Respect not Repetition

On a recent podcast, the lovely Kristen Bell made a comment about how "over-explaining is a form of begging". Experts say when one has to repeatedly explain oneself and isn't considered, it's exhausting and can be a sign of quiet disrespect.

(The quote is at the end of the podcast, however it's an overall good listen.👂😁) ⬇️

I believe we, as Lukolas, have been explaining ourselves for years now... yet Lukola isn't considering us. They have not so subtlety been dismissive of Lukolas (or let journalists do so), force-fed us a fake narrative and had their online autobots block anyone who dared call them out.

(In her defense, N is right. She is the worst at it!) ⬇️

Knowing all of this, where do we go from here? Quit begging. Quit trying so hard to prove the obvious. Quit giving them praise when it's reciprocated w/ inauthenticity. I know, I know, it's likely they don't want to act that way, yet they are... Luckily, there are always several things that mitigate their shite situation:

1) Good people don't like to lie...

Take the "Memorable Moment" award from the Baftas (yes, the same one Polin's carriage scene was nominated for last year). This year, it was Alan Carr from "Celebrity Traitors", and the moment wasn't when he outright laughed about being a faithful, or made a devilish joke in the turret...no! It was the end of the game when he admitted he was a traitor and began to sob. 🥹 It's a great example of how good people don't want to hurt others, even if it's just a game, or for a good cause... ⬇️

What does this have to do with Lukola? I believe they are essentially good people and it has been difficult for them/ weighs on them. I also believe this is why we had a well of tears from N in the Guardian interview. She knew she had to lie and push away loyal, core and correct (!) fans. 😞

2) They know better than to kill their core fan base

...and wouldn't unless they felt they had to, which is one of the reasons you saw them both doing the stage door during their play runs (N, for as long as was safe). Do I believe the influx of attention after S3 was overwhelming for Lukola? Yes, but do I believe it's been exaggerated to explain away the fakery and garner sympathy? Also yes. We all suspect they could get a better semblance of privacy if they so desired, esp. now that S3 is long past.

For example, in this vid, the stylist/ influencer (Justin Anderson on IG) mentions what more popular stars do to get privacy w/ out alienating their public - and how CR is doing a poor job of it, esp. as a newer artist. ⬇️

(Boy George also commented on it... ⬇️)

This is all to say, even though N posted CR's "normalize not filming strangers" sentiment in NYC, I think Lukola is more aware of kindness for one, and two, how fleeting fame can be; not much seems to have been done to curb the attention, no matter how N complains of it. It's simply shifted to N calling attention to a certain gay bestie and L to a certain "model/ dancer", instead of Lukola to each other. How's that working out for everyone? 🤣

3) If it's a HAD to, N is the one who could "afford" to...

This is how fans remember them in S3, but it's a distant memory atp that no longer aligns w/ the actions of the fake PR narrative ⬇️

Since many believe they have HAD to, N could better take the hit since the majority of her projects don't depend on her to carry them. She was a supporting character in TMFT, GOAT and S4 of Bridgerton, and in POTWW, she had a Bafta award winner and nominee, plus an ensemble cast w/ whom to share the stage.

She is the star of BM2, but Ch. 4's biggest shows only do 1-3 million views - nothing like the 100 million that Bridgerton does - and N has enough die hard fans for smaller scale show success. However, losing momentum and core fans matters for longevity, and viability for bigger projects. And maybe she's ok w/ that but it's still a sad, current state of affairs... for L, too. 😞

Ch. 4 stats vs. Netflix ⬇️

Lastly, we circle back around to our part in it all. Trust your own voice and the toil you've put in to uncover the truth. Don't beg for Lukola to hear the plea for authenticity... be confident, and pull back when they are disrespectfully disingenuous. But as always, give grace and be open to a comeback... Respect not repetition!🙏

Note: hopefully we can all still enjoy new Bridgy content... the S3 blooper reel was cute, esp. Ruth & Clauds; a few of you sent me Mia's take on it which resonated (below) ⬇️

Re: Lukola Forward...

For the people who have been around these parts a while, and I see you (🙏), focusing on the fakery only keeps it alive for the wrong people and fuels the wrong things...

I think it's best to shift the mentality to "Lukola forward", meaning only giving attention to events/ content that reiterates the Lukola narrative, aka the truth, in my opinion. To me, that doesn't mean arguing w/ antis to prove a point (it's so obvious now, there's nothing to prove), nor examining blurry figures desperate for a Lukola sighting nor overanalyzing every facet of Lukola-adjacent outings to show how fake it is.

None of that is what we want to see or why we jumped on board the ship or what we love about Lukola. So let's get back to the basics: when there is something new that is "Lukola forward", we can recognize it and celebrate it... 🥰

1) We love to see how Lukola enjoyed NYC together.

• TDWP2 interviews are out and it's interesting that Simone & Caleb spent alot of time together in the making of the movie, and N followed Caleb during her summer in NYC, when the movie filmed. It's nice to see N's follows giving credence to her time there w/ L ; see previous post) ⬇️

💬 18 🔁 5 ❤️ 60 · Re: Nic's New York State of Mind - PART 2 · Follows, friends & fashion week 1) N's NYC-coded IG follows continue w/ gay

• Other Lukolas already covered N's mention of Hotel Chelsea in her "Dish" interview (thx @frantastical & @ptej1980). Also in that interview, N said JVN knows she drinks decaf. She could have said it was from when JVN was in town to see her play. Instead, she said they were on vacation, even though their last at least publicly shown vacay was years ago, lol 😆. But we do know where she likely spent alot of time w/ him last summer. 🗽

Bonus from @lactdiva: It's possible that N all of sudden said she likes decaf so that the fans who know she has been pregnant and/or nursing won't think she's been irresponsible w/ her caffeine consumption.

2) We love to see Lukola being couple coded.

• You know how people who are around each other all the time tend to speak alike? Just sayin'... ⬇️

(Bonus: L also uses the term "Mega" in an HOM interview***)

• Remember in late March when N was rumored to be seen at "Paddington" the musical? Perhaps she went to see her costar Delilah who was in the show. But also, perhaps Lukola attended together and met the show's director, Luke Sheppard, who now follows L, and vice-versa. (Yes, there's rumors he's directing Rent's 30th anniversary*** )

3) We love to see Lukola living authentically

• They are, just not publicly yet and it's bound to be weighing on them, but they likely "must" and thus, we have their traitorous (so to speak) behavior toward Lukolas. As I've said, I think it hasn't been a choice, and N talking about privacy could be to set up an excuse for when she & L come out. "Do as I say not as I do"...

Note: You know what you do when you want privacy? NOT an interview exposing details of your home life, Mom & immediate family, NOT be all over sm and post your alleged bf & friends on your special night hosting SNL (UK), NOT significantly more interviews than your other, supporting actor co-stars (N did press w/ TMFAT leads - but no Saucepan man, Moonface, Dame Snap, Dame Washalot, etc., just Silky). And that's all just recently...

Lastly, this interview came on my feed, and all I will say is is if Michelle Obama can walk around unnoticed and get privacy, so can Lukola! Min. mark 4:40 ⬇️

I also recommend her book. Nothing political, just great advice for women about taking power back when they are so often scrutinized for their appearance***

Re: You're the captains now! (And you always have been)

Don't get sucked into watching what you don't want to see...

I have been remiss in posting lately (I do try to post once a week) however, there's nothing to report here. Lukola isn't giving us anything to hold on to... a like from L on N's post or N donning her claddagh isn't enough. To use one of my hashtags from last year - we need #clarity not confusion... and we shouldn't accept anything less! 🚢💪

WE are the captains of the ship as the fans who made Lukola popular; due to S3 of Bridgy, they gained the majority of their fans. That's a fact. We've given grace, time & investment that hasn't been reciprocated as of late... that's also a fact. I'd say the last time was SAGs, 14 mos. ago, and they were still dancing around the truth.

It's clear that the adjacents are NOT what we want to see. So guess what? We don't have to watch! Don't get sucked into PR drama that isn't real anyway. As George Fouracres proclaimed... ⬇️

A few comments from the peanut gallery which sums up the current state of things (TY @frantastical, @truther1235, and @municolis):

On that note, what N & L want to do w/ their careers is their business. If we want to follow them or not is ours. Unfortunately, I think they squandered alot of goodwill from the Bridgy fanbase which results in fan attrition every time an adjacent appears. (Yerin Ha, i.e., is outpacing N rn in IG engagement w/ 1/4 of the followers). But I'm not here to bring anyone down. I'm all for a Lukola comeback and I think most people will return to root for them as soon as they are able to be authentic. 🙏

As for SNL, it seems preparation met opportunity for N - and networking helped, too... she's been friends w/ SNL talent exec. Dani Rait for years and even fit an A24 plug into a skit (Dani now heads A24 programming at Cherry Lane Theater; see my March 21st post that includes info. re: that connection***)

Having Jimmy Fallon as an "SNL Royalty" guest on the episode was a boon (and why I watched) and in "Weekend Update" they joked/ not joked about him being there to boost ratings. Great bit... and very well written, imo ⬇️

Imo, having Jimmy on didn't further establish N's versatility, as the format of the show aids every host in doing that, but rather, it highlighted N at her best as part of a duo... and interestingly, w/ another tall, good looking brunette who brought out the best in her 😉. The monologue and the Faraway Tree rap were both brilliant, and Jimmy's photo dump today captured some nice moments ⬇️

On a postive note: N is doing great, considering the situation and being just 3 mos. postpartum which is quite impressive, and those who will realize it when Lukola comes out, will prob. be shocked (their bad 🤷🏼‍♀️). And whilst I know some criticized Aimee's styling, N's outfits were postpartum friendly and good for new Moms (just wish N could talk about it like Lydia does. *sigh*). A few skits had pregnancy or baby references which I thought was interesting, too... 😉 ⬇️

Here's the research paper on using corsets postpartum for the nerds in the group like me:

(PDF) Effectiveness of Using Custom Made Soft Corset Model Towards Abdominal Circumference in Postpartum https://share.google/ZIcRXVPm7fvMLa5CC

Lastly, I'm ANTI - patiently watching & waiting, unless one can stay detached and not anticipate (which most can't do). Instead, I'm ALL FOR ignoring anything that isn't Lukola forward ➡️ Ruminating can be unhealthy - and doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result is insanity. So whilst keeping an eye on the ship is ok, it would be sooo much better to send a REAL message and stop giving attention to all the wrong things. ✋️

Wrong things = X , right things = ✅️

Re: "When something is weird, something's up..."

Said by a Lukola who I spoke with today in reference to N's recent press interviews, and quite simply hits the nail on the head. The interviews indeed have been "weird" and out of character for N, esp. when juxtaposed w/ an open & honest LWest...

1) Same-same?

It's interesting that N and LWest have alot in common personally but N is on one interview path and LWest on another, and never the twain shall meet... at least during the BM2 press tour. You have N in deny deny deny mode and LWest sharing her partner and babies online. A sample from LWest's BM2 dump on top, as opposed to N's on bottom ⬇️

A Lukola who wishes to remain Anon noticed: "Something has just changed. It’s almost like whatever they’ve done before someone is saying is not enough so she’s pushing the boundaries and doing everything she can possibly think of..." 😞

2) Oops...

We also have LWest outing when they really filmed BM2. We suspected it was before Lukola left for NYC and it's looking like it was before their vacation to AUS, in the mid March- mid May time frame (w/ reshoots and/ or add'l footage shot in Oct. when they were back in London). Why do we suspect this?

• #1- LWest posted how "very preg" she was filming He Had It Coming at the end of 2024, then stated in a recent interview that she was just 8 wks. postpartum when they began filming BM2 (Min mark 3:35), and #2- N showed up in mid-March w/ Camilla who, of course, wrote BM2 ⬇️

• It stands to reason that LWest had her baby in Jan./ Feb. 2025, as N likely did, and they were in the same boat of being new Moms upon filming BM2. LWest appears to be very far along at the end of 2024, w/ ≈ 2 or so mos. left, not 7 mos. (It would have to be June that she gave birth to be 8 wks postpartum for the alleged Aug. table read ). We have eyes! 👀 ⬇️

• Also notably, LWest posted twice on her IG grid in Feb. 2025, nothing for 2 mos. (filming much? Lol) then returned to posting in May when they were prob. wrapping***. Tbf, she doesn't post w/ regularity but still an interesting observation.

• The clapperboard and reshoots from October seem to be in real time as there is some footage of what appears to be a "mid-preg" N (w/ BN2) to fit into the storyline of her stable girl era journey. See the bump - no bump collage in my previous post ⬇️

3) Don't let the "weird" take over...

When people get bored, impatient or emotionally wrought, they start doubting the "why". Questioning things is normal, which I do periodically, but... I also make it a point to check-in w/ my trusted partner & Lukola crew and always end up back at my 3 non- negotiables. (Together, babies, NDA deal).

If you think they're doing it for any other reason then it's working, you're feeding into it. Imo, they will want you to believe it's been about privacy to protect their relationship/ family because it's something that can be excused, plus it explains away the adjacents. No break-ups are needed, it has a built-in mea culpa and provides a clean slate...

Atp, Lukolas are so in the know it's amazing how many people are on point w/ their insights and comments. (I didn't even need to comment on L & the Cyprus shenanigans because it was plenty covered, lol). We can all just take a collective breath, and wait out the weird. 🤪

Re: Made you look...

Should be Lukola's mantra for 2026. They are making us look but that's about it - we look, analyze and disbelieve the dumpster fire, so to speak, and go about our day...

This year is shaping up to be their most inauthentic yet, so where does this leave shippers? It seems to be either: in a holding pattern, largely moved on but keeping one eye open or, completely moved on already. (For Lukola's sake I hope the latter is minimal). W/ that said, I have been reminded of several things the past few weeks:

1) Look how easy it is to be private but not secret.

Which reiterates Lukola's likely lack of choice in the matter. They alternate taking backlash from the fakery and it's been on N's shoulders lately. I feel bad she hasn't been able to share her lovely, family movies publicly w/ her own family, and her interviews are being side-eyed*** 😒

I do believe she'd rather be like Zendaya who is out promoting her projects and still, simply and openly, talks about her love for Tom 😍 ⬇️ (min. mark 0:30)

2) Look how easy it is to give fan service, even for A-listers.

Below are two, recent interviews where top stars in the biz talk about appreciating fans...

• EB tells Conan about a crazy fan interaction and follows it up by saying: "[I] get to do these things because people watch the things I make. Like, period, full stop. If people didn't care about the stuff that we made, you and me wouldn't get to be here. So, I'm constantly like, thank you so much to anyone who cares to at all to watch it." (Min. mark 46:30) ⬇️

• JBa's interview on Kimmel, (min mark 1:30): "... it's a public job. I want to know if you guys like what's going on. You know, if they got notes I want their notes so I can be better, Jimmy, at my job..." (He goes on to playfully say "Now I will not read comments, you commenters are a sick breed" 🤣)

Bonus: he discusses clickbait w/ untrue gossip (min. mark 2:30) and mentions a similar headline to one L & A had in NYC 🤭 ⬇️

Note: Imo, those who believe SL has been gatekeeping Lukola have a myopic view of the situation/ overinflate Lukola's importance. SL has been supportive of Lukola and liked JM's Easter gift/ post of them dancing. To think they'd purposely withhold Lukola is unnecessary game playing, and for what? To barely show them in S4, create a burden on their image(s), reduce interest and make things difficult when they had fans at their fingertips? It doesn't track...

3) Look how easy it is to spread a false narrative via social media.

A) We have no idea where Lukola is rn as the last real time event N attended was the MFAT screening/ Q & A in London on April 1st.

• Do I think the pic at TJR's b-day party is recent? No. N's hair color is before the strawberry blonde change (and possibly extensions in) and appears to be wearing the dress she wore to JD's Last Days premiere when she was expecting (BN2)... Conveniently, TJR's b-day is also unlisted 😉 ⬇️

• The Galway pics look like latergrams. N appeared to have some free time in March, when weather aligned w/ needing a coat like Beatrice has on, as it's been slightly hotter in April. @municolis also pointed out, the poster is under the "Future Eye" heading, meaning it's upcoming and of course, MFAT is out already now. (Note: N has on the same sweater she wore to the Q & A in London but different from the one she wore to the hospice in Dublin; she does tend to re-wear clothes but it also serves to confuse location) ⬇️

Lukola could have either #1- driven to Galway after JD's play since they were already halfway there (it would have been time for N's 6 week check-up, and close to UK Mother's Day), OR #2- visited after the MFAT premiere... there are 10 days unaccounted for until the Q & A, so recent posts could be latergrams. In fact, today's posts indicate N being in several places at once which is similar to what we saw when she was really in Rome w/ L... so they need to figure out a new playbook if they are trying to hide because this is way too obvious, lol.

The schedule & weather ⬇️

B) The false narrative is spilling over into interviews

***Do I think N did a 180° on astrology in the BM2 interview to downplay her connection to L? Yes, esp. since it was soon after the Elle article came out. It's hard to push a fake bf when a main theme during your very popular (S3) WT was your compatibility w/ your co-star - astrologically & otherwise- and how you match each other's freak. 🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️

Other explanations have been N trying to act more mature or doing it for the role but those are less likely, imo, considering she said she felt 28 (in the Elle article of all places) and it's unrealistic for an actress to change her real- life personality for press per role; moreover, it's out of character for N, as she is a creature of habit and is consistent, if not stubborn, in her opinions... ⬇️

There are many more instsnces if you rewatch the WT like the Still Watching Netflix interview where they guess each other signs and N literally says "I'm a Capricorn" and for L " He's an Aquarius... love an Aquarius" lol.

Lastly, you're not a bad shipper if you get sick of the impersonal project promos or aren't a fan of every project N and/ or L is in. Not every project is created equal, even when you do like the actor(s), and many of us are here first and foremost because we enjoy watching Lukola as a couple. I have confidence we will see them together again sooner than later... 🙏👫👶👶

Some interesting happenings below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#it's not if it's when

Re: Happy Easter Weekend, Lukola friends!

We're heading into this weekend w/ all Lukola shipping cylinders firing. This past week we got new world tour footage - the vid of L w/fans in Galway, the pic. of Lukola in Bowral, and new-old footage of the V-day event. And today, we had JM post a vid of Lukola rehearsing a dance for S4. It seems they are eager to engender some good will amongst fans and there's nothing wrong w/ indulging in it. ♡♡♡ ⬇️

BUT... yes there's a BUT. To keep it in its proper perspective, we have to ask why? and to what end?, as #1- it's early for Polin week and #2- we got similar Easter eggs, if you will, around this same time last year (see previous posts***); some even thought it was leading to a launch but then... (trigger warning) it was the reverse, w/ a Baftas adjacent push and the fakery at an all time high.

So the Easter eggs are nice to see but not promising for moving the ship forward. They are still hiding behind Polin and, w/ JD promoted as N's alleged bf less than a mo. ago, one would expect to see them appear together at upcoming events - for BM2 (if there are more) and at the Baftas, which JD will be invited to w/ the WIFLFAG nom. ⬇️

W/ that said, the pressure is on as promo continues to emerge showing N's baby bump (s). The BM2 trailer was interesting... as @frantastical pointed out, when it filmed is unclear. Some scenes may have been shot before BN1 was born, very soon after (w/ N recently postpartum), in NYC while Lukola was there, OR upon their return (w/ a BN2 bump).

Regardless, N's change in appearance seems to have been written in so the fact she was expecting irl could go unnoticed by some (not us, ofc). But in Bridgy S4 there's no storyline to explain it, so we see Polin often edited out (like in the aforementioned dance), their intimacy scenes not going beyond Ep3 and N being covered up alot... Tbf, Lukola's limited availability may also have affected things, w/ L filming WM and N on Shonda's Mom-to-be schedule, coming in once a week. ⬇️

All of this is to say, enjoy what you can while you can w/ what you know to be true, but remember we still need clarity not confusion from LUKOLA themselves.... not from Easter eggs, third parties, adjacent activity (or lack thereof), or even blind items. Stay strong and keep it hoppin' right along... ! 🐇👫👶👶

Update: Touching to see N in Dublin doing good works 😇. (I don't think it's necessarily in real time).

*** Posts from last year ⬇️

#clarity not confusion #it's not if it's when

You don't have to post this if you don't want but I have a few things to say about the trolls and Lukola. Those who think you can't criticize a celebrity are the toxic and parasocial ones. Luke and Nic know what industry they are in and what they face with the choices they have made, much of which have turned off fans. Celeb worship is not normal, it's a slippery slope, and Lukolas who still like them but don't put them on a pedestal are the sound ones.

Giving Nic the mastermind moniker like T Swift is hyperbole for me. Are she and Luke aware of the moves they make? I believe so but like many, I don't think it has been a choice. Nic said in a recent interview, she thought she'd go back to normal life after S3 and Luke has said similar so I really don't think it was premeditated. I do think by the end of the world tour much happened with Antonia and protections were put in place that spiraled out of control. If the PR fakery had been mastermind level it would have better executed, and Nic wouldn't have done things like walk about visibly expecting, which I think has come back to bite her.

I don't think Luke and Nic wanted to be separate or private to this extreme. Nobody wants to be pigeon holed but taking on different projects as they have takes care of that. Look at Tomdaya. They strike that perfect balance. Appearing together would have made people want to watch them more. You don't throw away what made you famous and not give fans a photo together at the Baftas for a fan award unless you have to, and ask forgiveness later. You don't throw adjacents bad for your image in the fans' faces when you have so many other options of likeable covers, unless you have to.

Nic always lets the truth slip out between mentions of healthy vaping, air purifiers, trees that cause hay fever and liking to talk to others with ADHD and so much more that is Luke coded. We know Luke has always had a foot in mouth problem, which has gotten a bit better even though he was stammering through the interview about Polin intimacy scenes that came out today. It's hard not to want to talk about your world when it's filled with the joys of married and family life.

I don't know why we got those articles from Nic but the contradictions speak for themselves. She says she doesn't care about appearances but she has carousels of her fits now that she's not showing. She said she doesn't want a man to define her but puts her "boyfriend" front and center. She says she doesn't want to be a movie star but is doing the most for projects where she's not even the lead. She said she uses social media mostly for her causes but she's promoting five work projects and Neutrogena and Olaplex. When things don't make sense fans notice and to use her own words, find it disingenous, which she said she could never be 😞

Thank you for your thoughts Anon. I agree Lukola has acted largely out of necessity and the Baftas in particular were tough. It had become obvious that they were trying to "get this done", and it has continued on... Recognizing it doesn't mean we don't give grace or hope for the best, which I still do.

The articles were a bit sad, as another Anon pointed out here (Just getting to this now. TY🙏) ⬇️

But the articles are also whatever. Elle articles have failed twice on Wikipedia as a credible source to add Lukola's alleged partners. So that leaves it having to come from the horses mouths which they have made sure hasn't happened.

As for the interview that came out today, all I can say is I'm sure it's hard for them not to talk about one another, lol... Oh, Luke! (Min mark 3:00) ⬇️

⬆️ Yes, @carolinagirl980 🤭

Lastly, I agree that N minimized pics when she was more clearly expecting and ramped them up now that she's not... and poof! The GA doesn't know the difference and Lukolas are left sipping their tea & reading blind items, lol 🍵📰

I'll leave you w/ a clip from my new fave show. The Antis & trolls should take a cue from Xavier, and get a sense of humor like Annie...

(Yes, it's been this obvious) ⬇️

Note: if you haven't watched Paradise yet, L's Lodge buddy TD joined in S2, and it's been renewed for S3. Highly recommend it. 🫶

Update: New photo from the Goat recording... hello BN1, lol 👋 ⬇️

#it's not if it's when

Re: Thank you!!!

To everyone who reached out today about new-old trolls... I appreciate it! 🙃 There's nothing much they can say on the Lukola front to bother me atp... Complaining that I have a CORRECT opinion, in my opinion, on my own opinion blog about Lukola? Ok!!! LOL. Nothing new about that... 🤭 ⬇️

It's the same people who have always been obsessed w/ Lukolas, esp. those of us who have been steadfast in our beliefs, and been proven right over time - IT'S NOT IF, IT'S WHEN. So as @frantastical always says, block & ignore the trolls and pay them no mind... 🚫🧌 🙏

They do tend to come out when bored or threatened, and w/ CDAN crushing the Lukola rumor game for mos. now, I'm going w/ the latter. There have been alot of good takes on the blinds lately, so I won't reinvent the wheel and just drop my fave comment from an Anon: "Not everyone is under an NDA and nobody likes being lled to, no matter how good the reason." (thus how this could unravel quickly).

Since my last post, the Boy Toy blind did get some online legs (true or not) and some pics of N & JD from MFAT filming were posted... Of note: JD at a table w/ Dustin who appears in Slow Horses w/ Chris Chung... Good connection for JD to land MBC w/ Chris, eh? ⬇️

Now we'll see how the Ozempic blind plays out... I'm skeptical as to its veracity (and it would be a good deflection) as we know N is recently postpartum, and seems to have the "bouncing back" thing down pat - along w/ some top tier stylists and alot of love & support from a perfect partner 😉 ♡♡

Note: Likelihood is low as recommendation is 6wks.- 3 mos postpartum (IF not br-feeding, which she seemed to do w/ BN1), and she was prob. at ~ 8 wks. at the MFAT premiere

TY @municolis for your take on it... 🎯 ⬇️

So, Lukolas old, new and in between... as always, pay heed to your own health, wealth & happiness first (whatever that may look like for you), as you keep one eye on the soulmate story... 👀 🫶 Happy Sunday everyone!

#it's not if it's when

Re: Quick Check-In, Part 2

(Who am I kidding, it's never quick on the subject of Lukola lol)

Many of you may know about JT's DWI video recently released, that his team tried to block (it's from 2 yrs. ago), but alas! A few notes: #1- something like this can damage a celeb's image for quite a bit, thus one of the reasons why NDAs exist, and even superinjunctions in the UK. (Note: not saying this is what happened w/ L, just pointing out the principle of it), and #2 - leave it to JVN to make a light of a bad situation. Gotta love him...

W/ that, and now that you hopefully had a laugh (I agree that's hard to do sober! lol), I noticed a building in his video that is the same building L had in his NYC dump, The Village Alliance in the West Village (previous posts below***)... Not that we didn't already know it, but tell us that you & N were hanging out w/ JVN w/out telling us that you & N were hanging out w/ JVN. (slide 14 in L's post on his grid). 🤭 ⏬️

Now onto the current state of affairs... are we bored yet or still bored? Lol. We have N saturating sm w/ every mua and stylist posting her fits (Wait, I thought she wasn't about appearances 😐), to her making the rounds w/ all-business interviews, to posting brand deals that echo last year when she was criticized for losing her personal touch. It isn't inherently a problem, except that it's a major departure from what endeared her to fans to begin with... 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⬇️

Also, (and this shouldn't be a surprise w/ the 2 articles she put out), anyone and/ or anything that goes against the false narrative online is being blocked by her team... this has been going on since Lukola's painful showing at the Baftas last year 😞. And since then, it's been "adjacent status quo"... unlikely a choice, as it's turned off a good chunk of her fanbase that surely, she'd rather still have w/ several of her projects premiering. *sigh*

As an Anon wrote to me: "... for a long while she was really happy to “play” with us, dropping hints, clues, etc. ... Something shifted and she has seemed very different. She almost seems desperate for us not to say anything, not to believe. And if that means alienating us, that’s the price she’s going to pay..." *double sigh*

Side note on her interviews: I do appreciate her advocating for shows for the female gaze. We do love the smut! 💋 😊 ⬇️

Which brings me to the CDAN blind item*** yesterday... I'm not against it being about JD but imo, JD won't be the one to blow Lukola's cover. He has too much to lose and likely an NDA, too. WIFLFAG was recently nominated for several Baftas and MBC is premiering later this yr. so his career seems far from "ruined" 🤷‍♂️. I also don't see that N has noticeably done anything to "cover her tracks" (atp) about that in particular...

CDAN also spent alot of time last yr. hinting that JD is a cover for Lukola so touting him as a disgruntled bf now seems odd. And we know there can't be a "break up" w/ two babies in tow for Lukola. It also doesn't do much to reinforce the fake narrative OR help it unravel, as it makes both JD & N look terrible 😫. So as for moving the needle either way, it seems we're stuck for now... ⬇️

So we soldier on, protect our peace, remember to show grace, and keep one eye open... 👀 Check ya on the flip side! 💪🚢

#it's not if it's when #oh Lukola

Re: Spring has Sprung!

But Lukola hasn't... so here we are. 😑 I know people still care, but interest in them does seem to be on the decline. Many are tuning N out in particular; after she was exceedingly disingenous, it's hard to believe anything she says (even if there's always a technicality of her not really saying the lies but rather a 3rd party). Regardless, N has been pushing her projects w/ out the personal touch for which she's been known, and it is to use her own word... boring! 🥱 Lol...

Then we have L appearing w/ A... as staged and/or as minimized as it is, also: boring! 🥱 It literally looked like a 5-10 min. set-up of them walking down the street, then going their separate ways lol (remember, L sees her maybe 5% of his time)... but if he's going to start looking delighted on these pap walks, it doesn't bode well for his following (although it did appear that he bought bots prior to it, *sigh*). I'm still on the "no choice" track, however, choice or not, the effect is the same: fans call it out, ignore it (w/ lots of eye rolls) and move on... ⬇️

I do think that Lukola is still paying for the "sins" of an earlier time - esp. w/ so much bts coming out of N clearly expecting in S4, w/ the thought A didn't agree to cover for that back then, and A's mom posting about online bullying once again, as we know her family has played a big part in it all (see below***).

**If one can't tell N is expecting / newly postpartum in S4, one can't be helped lol. ⬇️

As long as the adjacent push continues, it will always to a degree affect them negatively, imo. Lukola encouraged fans to ship them and people who never followed celebs and/ or shipped before came on board not only to watch their undeniable chemistry, but also their soulmate connection which is pure, joyful and inspirational... so, what is currently left of that to see? A few bts crumbs from S4 where we're supposed to ignore the obvious (above) and then... nope, that's literally it. Lol.

When fans have been led astray and gaslit beyond measure, it's human nature to want to course correct and that, we have done. The contradictions and fakery are not subtle... N on SNL UK tonight? Sure, you don't want to do what JB does, lol. ✨️

Note: N certainly made her connections to SNL while in NYC this past summer (see previous posts below*** ) and seems she got in a DB mention for hubby/ Boss 🥰, although perhaps he will be an upcoming guest.

She did a really great job in the monologue ⬇️ and in an Irish skit ☘️

(Full monologue: https://youtu.be/712AlPYYDNE?si=DXTtggl9euqhpSmV)

Anywho, my dear Lukola shippers, never change! 🚢💪 We've simply paid close & detailed attention to what we were fed - the not so secret secret - and we haven't forgetten. WE KNOW, and they know we know lol so whether you keep waiting or not for a Lukola reveal is entirely up to you as it's getting to the point where Lukola is entering into the fools category... ⬇️🤦‍♂️ Always protect your peace!!! 🙏

Update: Some of you are still on the fence about BN2 and I guess it sucks to be you, to be so easily fooled lol. Go back and look at the progression photos in my previous posts... appearance and timing of BN 1 & 2 are almost identical. 👶👶

#it's not if it's when

Re: The Tangled Web...

I've avoided commenting about the bungled mess of another deceptive article last week because well... it's just sad. It's been a rough week/ weekend for Lukola. A few notes:

1) Imo, once again, it only satisfies one person (A)... why bring up The Emmys after a year & a half? Because that incident was a strong hint to N being w/ L and being pregnant w/ BN1; squashing those two things is supposed to make the GA think it isn't true. But all one has to do is watch S4... more people than ever realize she was expecting, esp. since they didn't write it into the storyline (thus, also creating a need to deny it) . 🤦🏼‍♀️ ⬇️

2) The irony of an article that touts N's morals while perpetuating bold faced lies does not escape me. Maybe N can justify it since she didn't say JD's name and much of what was said referenced L, however the journalist certainly put JD out there as the bf, lol (sorry I can't say it w/ out giggling) and that they are long distance. (Somewhere over the rainbow... 🎶🌈 🤣)

I do find it interesting there's no mention of JD in the caption considering he pervades the article. It's also interesting that L's PR agent chimed in acting surprised 🙄. You know exactly what's going on Em... you've helped engineer it, smdh. ⬇️

Once again, we got a hard denial of L who we aren't supposed to know is w/ N and father to BN 1 & 2. Got it. Good news is there's something to deny... 😉

Note: Imo, we got confirmation of BN2's arrival. ✅️👶 The article confirmed N was in Galway during her break from the play and L let us know he was, too, sitting on Beatrice's couch for his b-day . We suspect N traveled w/ family by car after her last performance; she said she slept 10 hrs. that 1st night, which happens to be the approx. time travel time from London to Galway. 🚎🤷🏼‍♀️

(Btw, L's pic was a HINT... if Lukola wanted privacy they would have let A's post w/ L for his b-day just sit... but they said nope, L is home w/ baby Mama. I imagine he flew in after PFW...) ⬇️

3) On another note, the subject of body positivity in the article was overcompensation 101... I'm sure she doesn't want to be the rep for it when she's been pregnant twice over the past 21 mos. Awkward... and so are these comments about her dress at the HS concert***. It's actually a good design from which to breastfeed and/ or pump but I'm not sure if knowledge of her being postpartum would have helped or hurt...

Also, it's very possible L WAS there w/ N & Hannah since it was a Netflix event ⬇️

4) If it makes you feel any better the article doesn't pass the journalistic muster and Elle isn't a publication that is taken seriously from an Encyclopedic pov. (In Wikipedia, i.e., it was already nixed as a gossip rag when people tried to use it to add A to L's profile). If you want to write into the journalist and suggest some actual REAL news, she's open (Idk, maybe how she connects w/ other Moms she interviews like N), as it seems her subject matter has been limited to fluff... ⬇️

Lastly, I think recent events have been the lesser of two evils in Lukola's legal situation. The narrative points in the fluff piece coincided w/ N removing two photos that weren't just ones where Lukola looked close... rather, they were originally posted in July & Aug of '24 when the clock was already ticking on L's deal w/ A...

It seems they are still paying for the sins of A allegedly being bullied and probably for them using her as a cover for BN1 w/ out her consent... and maybe even a new sin (w/ BN2) because a contract doesn't care if Lukola needs to expedite their fertility timeline. 😞 So we are where we are w/ the adjacents still being pushed until we're not, and it's Lukola who has to be cleared for launch... 🚢🚀

So, per usual, protect your peace. Imho, it's best to only join in if you're in a good place to accept it as is... also check yourself if you're so detached that this is entertainment for you. Never forget these are REAL people and please be kind. 🙏 I'm not saying aspects can't be amusing but constant pain, discomfort and disappointment are NOT (for us or them) - and if you're addicted to all this, get thee to a therapist! Lol.

*** N's appearance at HS concert ⬇️

#it's not if it's when

PSA: Don't be two faced!

Quickest way to get a ranty post from me! Lol

Don't come on my blog to agree w/ me and then go to another blog that has a completely different theory to agree w/ them. It's offensive. Why? Because there's a camp out there that thinks that Lukola has been playing games and done all this purposely... YET they can never explain the WHY...

The privacy excuse doesn't work when they haven't had any, actually hinted themselves at one point AND there are far simpler, more effective ways to get it. The studio restriction route doesn't track, as no modern actor is owned by a studio (they're all independent contractors!!!), co-stars across all networks in more popular shows w/ bigger roles seamlessly date, marry and/ or have children, AND the adjacent narrative has been detrimental to Lukola - and could have been to S4 had not their teams minimized it (thankfully S4 didn't rely heavily on Polin).

Additionally, to think they have done all of this purposely, you have to disregard one major, undeniable factor in all of this:

☆ Lukola has NEVER been happy about it! ☆

Exhibit A (and this is mild compared to previous displays; he actually kept his cool, considering) ⬇️

L's defiance and N's tears are noticeable and consistent. Why, if it has all been amicable and their desired path. An act, you say? Ok, well then you are more of a cynic than I...

I don't believe they'd choose a route that has proven to be EXREMELY difficult and EXTREMELY emotionally taxing just to play games w/ their fans, or for a pay check. And if you think they find this fun and/ or you yourself do, then 1- you've lost the plot and forgotten they are REAL people and/ or 2- you have zero self-respect so as to root for two people who would lie & manipulate to no reasonable end.

W/ that, I've never wavered from what I believe has been the root cause, and I still don't. Imo, we keep getting confirmation the NDA deal is the primary motive. The Guardian article was more proof when it addressed minor grievances that only a select group would know about and only appeased one person...

Lastly, realizing the adjacent narrative is fake/ PR is not the flex you think it is. You're playing right into their hands... you won't ever know what really happened because that's the point of an NDA; it ensures private business remains private. Over the past year, they have taken control of the narrative and avoided far worse (false internet rumors/ accusations from unfriendly 3rd parties, career damaging press, and lawsuits that can take years to get out from under). The worst that's currently circulating is Lukola has hidden their rel./ family for privacy, which celebs do every day... it's the "acceptable" celeb lie, a la Tomdaya.

So scroll on by if you feel the need to support all theories (social media is a warzone so you might want to do that anyway). I'm not here to tell you what to think, but I'm asking you to leave me out of your indecision. If you believe Lukola has purposely chosen such a destructive PR process, trust me, you don't want to read my blog anyway... 👋

(👆This meme is for you @frantastical 🧜‍♀️)

Note: I'm amenable when there is proof to sway me. If something comes out to change my mind, I promise you will be the first audience to know. As of now, there has been nothing new... 🤷🏼‍♀️

#it's not if it's when

Re: Part 2 release check-in

I don't have much to say about the S4, Part 2 release when it comes to Lukola except...

Those who can't see that N was expecting in S4 indeed must have their blinders on. In the later episodes, it becomes more blatant as in this scene... ⬇️

Note: One could put N's MFAT & Bridgy S4 clips side-by-side to see the progression. Of course, we don't need to as we followed in real time, *sigh*, but nevertheless...

A few other things about which we got confirmation over the last few days:

1) N is snatched and appears to have bounced back once again after the arrival of BN2. I prefer not to post comparison pics here as it may be a sensitive subject for some so please see them in the "Keep Reading" section below***. This one wasn't a secret either... 🤭

2) L showing up at N's play was purposeful. He could have appeared as her "bestie"/ costar at a number of events over the past year and he hasn't. So what does that tell us? He couldn't and now he can... so we'll have to keep an eye on it, as movement from Lukola is what we're looking for... 👫🤖

Note: Imo, A being there was nbd, as we've always said they will act as if they are all friends. But I think A's taunting behavior at MFW and L's ticked off reaction reiterates the true nature of their association (NDA motivated).

He did seem to manage to have a decent time ⬇️

3) The S4 release reinforces the Lukola holdout wasn't related to its build up... they're not in it together much, and spoiler: they didn't write N's real life pregnancy into the storyline. W/ that, and in retrospect, their Polin pic (w/ tears in their eyes) was more likely about what was going at the time w/ their personal mess... I mean, life 😉

*** The transformation collage(s) for BN2... ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#it's not if it's when

Re: Time flies when you're having fun... and babies

Another quick check in to say a very likely "Congratulations!" is in order for our fave couple, w/ the arrival of BN2. 🥳 🙌. The pattern has been predictable/ similar to when BN1 was born, including the bounce back time. Many have noticed N getting her waist back, looking happier and literally jumping across the stage.

If you're still a skeptic, we'll get to see her in real time in March to compare. As for now, see the progression in the photos below, (in the "Keep Reading" section)***

Other notes:

1) S4 footage has been coming out and N being pregnant w/ BN1 in earlier episodes is becoming more apparent in later episodes. (Not sure how viewers can NOT see it, as it's easy to compare Simone's fake belly to N's real thing, which is noticeable and lovely. 😍).

Can you identify an earlier episode vs. a later episode? Lol ⏬️

2) So where does all this baby talk leave Lukola & the adjacents? It's uncertain, and the current absence of activity doesn't mean it's over. 🤖 N has still been liking JD's posts, yet she almost has to until she comes out w/ L. In the meantime, Antis are baffled as to why N didn't go to Manchester during her break. (Lol, she was just a little busy... 👩🏼‍🍼🤭).

As for A, I didn't love her story (pic of her & L) on L's b-day but at least it went away after 24 hrs. and some days after, two of her TT reposts that linked to L also went away... 1- L singing "Yellow" and 2- the Gracie Abrams song that while not a direct link, was being associated w/ L. (Interesting it was up for less than a mo. 🤔)

Note: It seems the "Yellow" post is gone as the original acct. (Kazul) has been deleted; it's unclear if it disappeared when the acct. did, or if A removed it prior to the deletion. However, the Gracie Abrams post, and the acct. it's from, is still there and A did remove that repost. 😉 @filteringthroughthebs
