Lovely Little Losers in 2025

[lolilodaily]

Welcome to LoLiLoDaily!

The 10 year anniversary of Lovely Little Losers by @thecandlewasters is coming up, and we are organising a fan-run daily experience. Follow along via substack as four flatmates embark on the uni experience in this 2015 Love’s Labour’s Lost inspired web series.

Emails will include youtube videos and other transmedia content like tweets. The first one comes this December, while the main body of emails runs from 15 July - 26 December 2025.

This blog is run by @thebirdscomeback, @galwithalibrarycard, @areadingturtle and @cardboardsean. The substack itself is run by thebirdscomeback and cardboardsean. Send your questions about the experience here or to one of us, and find other fans in the #lolilodaily tag! (NB this is entirely fan-run, the actual creators of the show are of course The Candle Wasters)

We’re so excited to revisit the losers with you all!

Bea and Ben met up with Balth and Peter in Wellington, and they basically had a double date, with Costa just there fifth-wheeling…I love that so much.

A fun thought:

In fictional!Aotearoa, on New Year’s Day 2016, in the aftermath of Lolilo, Beatrice and Benedick definitely kissed at midnight to ring in the new year. They also definitely kissed at midnight hours ago to ring in 2026, because they’re still together.

Peter and Balthazar also kissed at midnight on New Years 2016. And they also kissed at midnight on New Years 2026, because they’re still together.

They’re all happy!

my love for break dem rules could never be expressed enough. silly dances on the beach forever. four twenty year olds choreographing a little performance forever. making up little improvised moves to make each other laugh forever.
