@megismyname
With the amount of “content creators” floating around this fandom since last year, what if the plot twist is that Luke has secretly been dating one of them all along and this elaborate cover of a cover is to protect their anonymity? 👀
My money is on Meg…
🫨🫨🫨
@megismyname is there something you want to share with the class??? 🤨🤨🤨
That’s a secret I’ll never tell 😉😘
Shondaland says Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton are not a couple.
“They are good friends and help each other out whenever they can.”
Listen I love Bridgerton. I LOVE Polin - ask anyone and they’ll tell you I’m reading a fanfic 90% of the time.
I love Nic and I love Luke. They’re amazing actors with amazing chemistry. And yeah I have *thoughts* on what could be the situation between them but in the end it’s all speculation because that’s all any of us have - SPECULATION.
I’ve been telling you guys this for months and months - there is no truth until it comes from either of them. So stop talking like something is factual when it’s not. That’s all we ask!
And yes I’m talking about Lukolas when I say this.
Because all I’m seeing is bloggers spewing out craziness like this and citing it as fact (and blocking those who dare to question)…
And once again I’m left sitting here in a space that is supposed to be FUN finding myself…
A vocab lesson for some of you out there in crazy town:
FACT
@biancasaidstfu is one of my very close friends and I will always have her back. You come for her - you might as well come for me too. 😘
OPINION
ALSO FACT
A lot of you out there lost the plot a long long time ago and I fear you may never find touch with reality again in this lifetime. 🤨
OPINION
Anything you ever have to say about another person (celebrities and public facing people included) that has never been CONFIRMED by said other person. And for the record, your OPINION on how someone’s body changes over time is not a confirmation. A CONFIRMATION is a statement by the other person through words or personally published photos.
(MY) OPINION
It’s about time most of you started to look into the possibility of other hobbies and hyper fixations because I’ve been viewing from the outside for a long time and I’ve interacted with people across the board and the reactions I see around this fandom leave me severely concerned. 🤔
And to circle back…
@biancasaidstfu I FUCKING LOVE YOU!
You and your cult members drove off all sensible fans who actually contributed to this forsaken fandom and for what? Getting shamed by DM and everyone else? For literally nothing? I hope Luke and Nicola will actually stop speaking whatsoever.
Genuinely kys
lol wut?
I feel like I unlocked an achievement with someone telling me to off myself.
It’s the year 2025 and we are still telling strangers on the internet to kill themselves over discourse involving 2 celebrities that don’t give two shits about any of our actual lives.
SUICIDE IS NOT A JOKE FOR YOUR FANDOM WARS.
Introducing…
My Monday evening recap of my life in this soul sucking fandom.
Story time: the time I was lied to for almost a whole year.
I was a new bee in this “fandom”, watched some lives short story I got into this gc and we all said our “names” and became friends very quickly. We went from a six person gc to a four cause the others were too much for me honestly. BUT little did I know we had a LIAR in the four person gc. UNTIL 7MONTHS LATER I FIND OUT HER NAME WAS NOT BIANCA BUT ITS BLANCA.
I feel like I’ve been catfished
Might need to take a break from the fandom life.
And what if I told you Blanca created —
“I know she’s not dating Jake”
A dramatic reading as told by BLANCA…
@biancadoes1
FAVE ANON HERE 🤍
First things first -
“OMG VIP MEET AND GREET TSWIFT TICKETS FOR HER NEXT TOUR 😱😱😱” - I consider this a binding contract. You might understand that more BIANCA if you did your LSAT studying. 😉
Now to matters at hand -
I hear people have been checking in with Bianca to see where I stand these days. You can all rest assured that I am firmly planted in the same place you last heard from me. The same place I’ve been firmly planted since last summer. While I’ve had some slight shifts over time in my “whys” or “hows” of the current situation, I never doubt my “what” and for that matter I actually have a fairly solid “why and how” theory that I’ve been continuously throwing around since last summer and every month it seems to grow more solid in its foundation.
Did my vague-ness of that last paragraph confuse you? Simple terms: N & L are together. And why is it so secret? Well that’s a theory for me to know and you to maybe find out one day. That’s it. Those close to me know what the theory is.
It all comes down to knowing how to keep things in the group chat. 😏
With that being said, I have an observation of the fandom that I need to make express. People talk crap about the Jackholes and Tif & Co for being “stalkers” or “invasive” and “not respecting privacy” but why are we not casting as much ire on the Lukolas who are exhibiting the exact same behavior. The ones who are so desperate to “break the news” that they run to Twitter or TikTok or Tumblr to post something without thinking it through. The ones who are seeing research in discord servers and posting to their platforms. The ones who are delivering news of a personal nature about Nicola or Luke on their blogs without blinking an eye - and most importantly - reporting it as fact without any of us ever knowing that it is actually fact.
I understand that you online platform is your own personal forum and no one here is trying to police you but I implore everyone to take a step back and look in the mirror. This behavior is no different from the Jackholes and if you support it than I never wanna hear you talk down on Tif and her friends again.
While I’m on the subject of talking down - can we cut the crap on the Nicola hate? I’m sorry but Jake is gay. I’m also sorry but Jake is her friend and he’s not a character that will be written off the show. If he face “triggers” you or causes a “jumpscare” please unfollow him and his friends. And no, Nicola is not a bad person when you see her hanging out with them. There is nothing wrong with a “single” 38 year old woman having friends in their mid 20s. Let’s be honest, at this point most of yall are spewing hate at her because you believe something about her that certain online creators are stating as fact and so it’s hurting your brain to see her out and about so often. THIS IS WHY WE DONT BLINDLY BELIEVE THEORIES. And regardless, it’s her life. If it bothers you that much then please move on from the fandom.
The amount of judgment in this fandom from people regarding who Nic and Luke hang around. I would like each of you to submit the following: a detailed history of your romantic relationships, a detailed history or your friendships, and a picture of yourself (not a pfp of Nic or Luke). Once I’ve reviewed all that, I will decide if you have the credentials to judge at the level in which you do.
That’s enough rambling for now and I’m sure after this some of you will never wanna hear from me ever again. But what can I say - I call it like i see it and i tell it like it is.
For now, I’m just gonna sit back and let the chips fall as they may. All will be revealed in due time and tbh none of this is worth getting upset over. I’ve faced way harder in the past 6 months. 😉🥴 I just need some of you to remember that this isn’t a reality show required to keep you entertained on a regular schedule so it may be wise to pick up some other hobbies in the meantime.
As for me, you can catch me with my nose in the Polin fanfic when I’m not working my real person job and dealing with a slew of current personal issues. If it’s fantasy you’re looking to involve yourself in, than maybe head over to AO3. What’s even crazier is that there are even tons of fics about Pen and Colin being pregnant, you know if that’s the kind of story you’re looking to live in everyday. 😏
Ok well that’s it. 😘
xoxo
Fave anon has returned 🎉🎉🎉
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That man did not want to let go.
Funny how that happens 😏
✨I don’t know about you but he’s feeling 32✨
Happy Birthday Lukey Newts! We all can’t wait to see what 32 brings your way. 💛
FAVE ANON HERE 🩶
I would like to start by saying how amazing it was to see Lukey Newts out and about last night looking 🔥 and rocking those emotional support curls 🥵. To be honest it was more than enough to make me look past anything else. Oh the curls 😍
But I do know that last night was a shock to the system for many. We went from not seeing Luke and Antonia interact with each other at all since the end of July to ALOT last night. They were popping everywhere. I saw so many extreme reactions and to be honest, we gotta be better guys. This is why I think it’s important to take a step back and look at everything as a big picture and use a few different lenses I listed below (and make sure you stick around for #4 because it’s the most important):
1. Seeing them last night doesnt negate everything that happened the last 7 months. Where have they been? Why hasn’t she posted him? Why did they spend the holidays apart? Why did he clean his SEO? So many questions with answers that don’t add up to a serious relationship.
2. This was not a relationship hard launch. If there was a launch plan, I 100% believe he would’ve “soft launched” in a way with pap pics getting caught on a date and in a natural setting. Or even something subtle on social media. They know how the fans perceive her and their “relationship” and they would not have just dropped a bombshell on eveyone. To top it off, out of all his SM posts today - none of them include any sight or mention of her. So what was the point of HL-ing?
3. I wanna start this one by saying I don’t think anyone in this situation should receive any hate for how we decided to perceive and accept things BUT I’m ngl I’m gonna have a lot of thoughts if L&A are together and those thoughts aren’t just aimed at Luke. Everyone has been complicit in the narrative that brought us here - Luke, Nic, Shondaland, Ryan, etc. They know what discussed online and they knew back in August how people were interpreting things so they’ve had months to set the record straight and launch any relationships. Polin is the B-ton moneymaker and that’s because of the fans. I refuse to believe all these people would be complicit in stringing along and alienating the fans. (And for the record - no matter how this plays out I will remain a fan of both because I love them both and I love Polin.)
4. MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Why are we so quick to jump to this relationship but we denounce Nic and Jake? You can say because Jake is gay (yes I believe this) but truly we have NO PROOF of that. He hasn’t said it. She hasn’t said it. We’re going fully off context clues. For all we know he could be bi, pan, or as straight as they come and they could be in the most blissfully happy relationship in the world. (Not true IMO but my point is that we don’t know anything beyond what is shown to us.) So let’s review the following:
Nic & Jake: have been to non professional events together and posted online with friends, have posted each other on Instagram, comment on each others posts, attend professional events together, and have been papped on “dates”
Luke & Antonia: caught kissing over a year ago, attended some professional events together, haven’t been seen together in 7 months, and like all insta posts in a suspiciously fast and consistent manner.
If you were to ask me I’d say Nic and Jake are the ones in a real relationship (if i knew nothing about the outside factors). So if we are willing to sit here and give Nic and Jake the benefit of the doubt and say it’s not real and wait it out then we should be able to do the same now with Luke and Antonia until we get more concrete evidence. Because truly last night was nothing different than what has been presented to us by Nic and Jake. The only difference is the internalized feelings and people have surrounding Antonia and her existence.
I stand by what I’ve always said - until Nic or Luke (or an official source on their behalf) say “boyfriend” or “girlfriend,” those terms do not apply.
What this fandom has taught me is that if I’m ever wrongfully accused of a crime, I do not want 95% of you on my jury because you all jump to conclusions so fast and don’t do any critical thinking.
Next time something happens and you find yourself about to spiral, take a tip from a wise friend of mine and give it 24 hours because I PROMISE you things will become clearer. 😉
And also congrats to Bridgerton S3 for being the Top Streamed Show of 2024. Nic and Luke did that and I’m so proud. 💛
And also - Luke and those curls man. 🥵🥵🥵
Fave anon has blessed us with her words once more.
Please take note.
Something a bit different…
As many of you might know my father recently passed away on January 6th after a brief battle with metastatic esophageal cancer. He went into the hospital the weekend of (US) Thanksgiving - Dec 1st - and was released on Dec 18th. By Dec 20th he decided to enroll at hospice at my home and I spent the next 17 days as his caretaker.
My dad was my best friend in the entire world. The last 11 days have been the hardest of my life and I know the journey is just beginning. The Bridgerton/Lukola/Polin fandom has been an escape for me the past 2 months and I’m grateful for some of the amazing people I’ve met here.
Per his wishes, he will be cremated. We are also holding a service for him this week to remember how amazing of a man he was and to celebrate his life. My parents both lived off social security income and my dad did not have life insurance unfortunately. I have set up a GoFundMe to help my mom offset some of the costs she has faced recently. If you have the means, any little bit helps and can go a long way.
Since many people are reaching out asking me how they can help and I never really hav… Meaghan Miller needs your support for Help Us Remembe
I appreciate everyone who has reached out lately. None of that goes unnoticed. 🤍
If you are a troll or a hater of mine and decide to use this post to spread hate or go after me, I truly hope you never face the possibility of losing the person closest to you in your whole life. I’d walk away from this fandom a million times over if it could bring back my dad bc it’s not that serious. I hope this is an empty disclaimer.
A few general statements for the fandom:
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
And yes this applies to personal or private information you may obtain or theorize about any of the players involved. Just because you obtained it “publicly” doesn’t mean it should be shared for the whole of the fandom. Ask yourself if this was being shared about you, would you want everyone that knows you discussing it? If not, keep it to a 4-5 person group chat.
Stop villainizing Nic and Luke for not performing on your perceived timeline.
Nicola is only 38 - she’s not in a “mid life crisis” and if I hear that one more time I’m gonna pull my hair out. Luke is not a “fuckboy” because he had one HBS and dated a younger woman for a short period of his life. Just because “guys like Luke” wouldn’t date you doesn’t mean he couldn’t love Nicola. And for real, WTF does “guys like Luke” mean? Just say that you’re projection fat phobia on Nicola when she’s not even “fat.”
Follow up - Nic and Luke are not distancing themselves from Bridgerton or from each other.
Most of y’all became fans during the WT so you were so used to constant content 24/7 and unfortunately that’s over. Luke and especially Nicola are also more high profile now compared to previous seasons. BTS posting on social media is gonna be different. It has nothing to do with their thoughts toward the show or each other. They’ve both commented multiple times how much they love Bridgerton. And they’ve both commented how much they love each other. Stop creating drama just because you need a dopamine fix.
Another follow up - social media is not real life.
Y’all I don’t know them personally but I PROMISE you that Luke reached out to Nic personally and wished her happy birthday. (Hell depending on where you fall on the theory spectrum, he was the one with her at her birthday dinner and took the picture.) I will tell you that my birthday is January 8th, the day before Nic, and I had to two Instagram story posts wishing me happy birthday. TWO. And I promise you I have a lot of friends. But you know what? All of my close friends texted or called me that day and gave me personalized greetings that weren’t for the whole world to see. And - GASP - this includes friends who have posted for me multiple past years in a row. So yes, even pattern breaking doesn’t mean anything. It’s been a week so please stop dwelling on this. And if you are still upset then I have a question for you - does it equally bother you that none of the Bridgertons publicly wished Will Tilston a Happy 18th Birthday? If not, please reevaluate the reasons behind your expectations.
Stop the public bullying and ostracizing.
The public hate needs to stop. Everyone is always accusing “shippers” of being the reason why N&L seem closed off but my opinion is that if anyone in the fandom is influencing their behavior, it’s the people continuously spewing hate. I will admit I’ve been guilty of throwing down against some of the more toxic creators in this space but I’ve always felt like I was “giving a voice to the voiceless.” What we need to do is stop attacking other creators because their opinions are different than us. And yes, I’m bringing this back to “opinion” because as I said the other day - nobody knows “fact” no matter how “obvious” you think it may be. You think Antonia and Jake are their significant others? Great. You think Nic and Luke are together? Great. Until the day that there is ever a definitive answer directly from the teams of Nic or Luke, everyone is on equal playing ground. I’m sorry if that bothers you but it’s true.
Side note to all of this: if a creator is saying stuff that makes you uncomfortable just know that when you make a post complaining about it, you were in fact perpetuating that information that makes you uncomfortable and only making the visibility larger. Just keep this in mind.
And with that, I’ll take my leave for now. Let’s all take a collective deep breath and remember that these are two real people with real lives and we’re only seeing what they choose to show us. Maybe it’s time we all pick up some extra hobbies. Start playing online games with your group chat. Fun some other methods of injecting fun in your day. It’ll make the time go by and you won’t be driving yourself crazy over this fandom. Keep your heads up y’all and just keep moving forward - it’s not that serious y’all. 💛
Just a friendly reminder for anyone here prone to spiraling after reading posts from troll accounts…
NOBODY HERE KNOWS ANY “FACTS”…NOBODY.
When it comes to ANY aspect of Luke or Nic’s personal lives, until it comes from their own mouths - no one can claim to know any FACTS.
Let me repeat that one more time - NOONE KNOWS ANY FACTS.
Not me. Not you. Not some new dumb bitch trying to get their 5 seconds of fame in the fandom. Unless Nic or Luke are reading this page right now, no one in this fandom space knows the FACTS.
Remember that fandom is supposed to be fun and people that want to police your fun are not here for the right reasons. So keep doing you. 💛
And call yourself a “realist” all you want, you’re just another troll with a sad life who wants to bring others down to your bitter level. I’m sorry that you’re (more than likely) a grown woman who finds the need to bully and denigrate other grown women on the internet to make yourself feel better about the inadequacies in your own life. Good luck with that babes. 😘
this could be proven wrong, but I’m just going to say this ….
If JD was with Nic at that bday, he would have made a story of it.
If that bday was a group dinner, there would have been a story from everyone there especially JD.
Nic and JD did not spend NYE with one another. That is a holiday I would think couples spend together. Even if Nic had a work event, JD would have been there bc that is his pattern. There were not together.
JD has not instinct to be a gentleman to Nic. He is a friend but his first reaction is not to protect or wait for like a partner would - The WT premiere was telling on his part.
Nic went somewhere on vacay after Christmas- tan lines. And she does not tan easily so she was really relaxing. Plus, Nic did not post during those days. Even when hanging with JD , she always post. She Never relaxes- something about those days had her in a state of ease.
Luke liked and commented on her SAG nom. The man has not commented on her post since June or July. And he was met with love.
not all her friends commented or posted for her bday. It is usually your pals that will not see you that will post on your bday. A little tribute bc I can’t be with you. She was with JD for the premiere to celebrate the movie for him and her other friends. But so far, it does not appear she was with him on her bday. Another special night in her life.
Luke is missing!! He did not post her her bday- bc he does not have too. He sees her all the time. He buys her gifts. She loves that camera and I’m sure he bought her something.
luke is a grown man. He does not need attention as much as trolls so desperately want to believe for him.
that Bday is intimate. Dinner for two. Could it be Luke- yes, could be another man- maybe. But at this moment, not JD. Again, he would have let you know.
luke loves pasta. The man loves pasta. It’s seems like an intimate place that’s quiet and cute. Nic is down to earth, this seems like something she would love.
Luke doing a year end photo dump. The man has never done that- to my knowledge or I have read he hasn’t. Some could say, well he was the lead, but he was on bridgerton before this and no year end dump. To me, to me- it seems like he did this as a welcoming to the family of Nic’s friends group.
is Luke in the glassware- not sure on that. That seems far fetched but I’m not going to tell someone they are wrong. That’s not my place.
at a certain point, people have to stop thinking she is with JD bc he is everywhere. People thought this about me and my guy friend. We love each other deeply, but not attracted to one other. Stop thinking bc Jd is there, that is her man. When JD does not do any of the things a boyfriend does. Smile, laugh or any affection. Calling her sweet one is not a clue for romantic love. It’s a term of endearment. In fact, no man, in a relationship would probably use that phrase for his gf or wife. It’s oddly stated.
could I be wrong, yes, but just analyzing clues and keeping the delulu out - things do make sense. Still being rational points more in the direction that she is not with JD.
I love an organized anon who critically thinks.
I truly have NO NOTES for this anon.
And none of these points are “delulu” or require overanalysis - it’s all surface level observations. The answers are right in front of us all the time if you just open your eyes and think for yourself.
Pssst…
I heard it was your birthday…
So…
🎉🥳🎂🎊🎁🎈
Thank you @biancadoes1 - I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
While this birthday is probably the 39th worst birthday out of my 39 birthdays - given that my dad passed away 2 days ago - I will say that Nic and Luke definitely tried to make up for that...
We got this:
And we got this:
And after 6 months, we got someone out of the witness protection program. He logged on, liked, COMMENTED, and said PEACE.
Thank you Luke for the cherry on top and honestly CONGRATS NICOLA for this amazing achievement. As your "same person, different font" twin - I am so SO proud of you! And while you won't see this, I hope your birthday tomorrow (technically its already your birthday for you right now) is amazing and you're celebrated by all your friends and loved ones no matter who they may be!
And I can say that despite my circumstances, I was touched by so much love and kind words today that I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many kind souls.
