âIf, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the âmedicine closetâ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. Thatâs why you should always have a nutrition choice!" -- Umberto Eco
That is a sign of anxiety and stress anon as been there myself and I know the signs//
I am the same anon as before (the last ask). I do think so too. I mean, I do think the weight loss it's definitely related to stress and feeling unwell psychologically. Also considering that he's lost his signature spark in his eyes and his playfulness which are now nowhere to be seen in his interviews/public appearances. What I meant, is that I feel like some blogs just want to say he looks bad just because they despise this "marriage" thing, even when he looks normal or not THAT terrible. I just meant that some people now just want to sh*t on him just no matter what: when it comes to his appearance, his work, what he says, does... just because well, he has associated himself with questionable people. I just feel a bit of compassion when it comes to him as I can say that he feels ashamed/not proud and kinda tries to hide himself; also when you look at how now also his brother doesn't really post anything Chris/family related and how Chris has stopped being vocal and natural about subjects he was passionate about and just wanted to share with his fans.
Exactly dear anon đđ»
Heâs not a jar of Nutella and he canât please everyone, but being associated to well known Nazis and racists isnât a good look is it!
Yes he signed up for this and he has to watch his world implode.
I hope he realises this and one day we will all find out the truth as those agencies make you do vile illegal shit especially CAA.
That's the thing, many people pointing out the light leaving his eyes, the charm leaving his personality and the obvious weight shedding, are all attacked for being "jealous" when really its coming from a place of "this doesn't look right for a supposed happy married man". He is more neurotic, more nervous, very skittish, none of this is normal to just happen because he "got married". The red flags are screaming.
I mentioned this steaming mess to someone IRL and also got accused of being jealous, but why would I be jealous when 1. it is not real, and 2. this is not jealousy but CONCERN. Chris may not be perfect (who is? certainly not me) and he may have made a stupid decision signing up for this horrible PR, but he is a human being and it's hard to watch someone you always liked and whose work you enjoyed deteriorate like this. âčïžđ
Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero. Â She:
 was admitted to Julliard at 8. Â
was performing in top venues by 16. Â
pioneered âswinging the classicsâ and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it. Â
was the first person of color to have their own national TV show. Â
went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a âsinging maid.â  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut. Â
refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane. Â
She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten. Â But she was a sorcerer, and a hero. Â
My favorite Tolkien illustrations by Cor Blok in no particular order:
Bilbo and Gollum. Bilbo is the moon for some reason which is cool i guess
Smeagol and Deagol. I love the seaweed in the background, great attention to detail
Frodo serving Robin Hood-realness at his and Bilboâs birthday party. Literally iconic
Isildur taking the ring from Sauron. Its great but I would like to see more of Sauron than just his hand, because I think he has the potential to look really cool
Pippin jumping into the bath at Crickhollow⊠no comment
Bilbo gives the Mithril coat to Frodo. Great poses, very stiff and awkward. I like it.
The fellowship. This one is a classic.
Gandalf and the balrog. Amazing
Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo. I love the way he reaches for his sword, it looks very natural
Merry and Pippin and Treebeard. I like his legs and the fact that it looks like heâs wearing shorts.
The battle of Helms Deep. This one is just great for a lot of reasons. I like how the orcs in the background are just happy and sad smileys. Gimli is throwing a rock at them. I donât know who the guy with a red hat is in the background, but I love him.
Gandalf, Theoden, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli finding Merry and Pippin in Isengard ft fucked up Shadowfax. Look at them smiling!
Sam, Frodo and Gollum. Frodo got rid of his Robin Hood hat which is a shame, but Gollum with a beak makes up for it.
Eowyn protecting Theoden from the Witch King. The fellbeast is a crow or perhaps a raven. Merry is hanging on the side, stabbing Witch King in the leg and he looks amazing
Mt Doom. Frodo looks very chill about getting his finger bit off, and Sam is just kind of floating there. I love everything about Gollum
My parents live in this town and the city legally canât tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they canât do anything about it.
I love this story because this guy in the early 1800âs had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.
Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.
And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree itâs considered to have legally inherited the plot of land itâs inhabiting.
Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you donât think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.
Unbound, my former UK publisher, owe me a lot of money.
Whatâs worse, though, is that during their collapse, it came to light that they were underreporting my sales and shorting my royalty payments.
So, I havenât been paid for the last 18 months of book sales, and when they were paying me, they were underpaying by a lot. It was gutting to hear that my second book had flopped in the US, selling under 1000 copies. Two years later I found out that it actually sold over 10,000 copies and the reason that it was selling no new copies week to week was because there were no copies left to sell.
John Mitchison, Unboundâs publisher, posted a heartfelt apology yesterday, announcing that he was stepping away from the business because authors are not getting their money. I feel a lot of empathy for John, because he, too, lost his dream to Unboundâs financial mismanagement. But the act of destroying a creative personâs confidence to hide the companyâs monetary losses is unforgivable.
It took me two years to get over the feeling of rejection that came from a book that, it turned out, was successful and should have had a second printing.
That fucking sucks.
p.s. go ahead and buy my books at your local bookstore. It's impossible to know which copies I got paid properly for and which ones I didn't, so don't penalize your local shop. And if you're feeling extra generous, come see me at an in-person event or grab something fun from my Threadless store.
First off I just want to point out his body language says it all. With Dakota heâs much more comfortable, being friendly, itâs giving Knives out with ADA energy.Â
You want to deny that he has no comfort with that troll fake wife, then thats on you , you do you. But the body language is very night and day. He also attended the after party with DAKOTA, and yet he didnât attend that with Alba ever, for Ghosted, or RED one either time. Nor did he even go into VF at Oscars.
As far as his âproposalâ story. It looked mildly rehearsed, not natural, not affectionately told, heâs more loving about dead leaves than he spoke about that. And hereâs the red flag, What man practices the phrase heâs going to use to propose with on the person heâs using it for!? No surprise? No romantic set up? No details on where or when or how she reacted? No itâs all Him and his talking about âPortugueseâ as if itâs some fetish now. He also stole the concept of learning Portuguese from Love actually the film which is something heâs mentioned enjoying that film before. Look it up it's a plot by Colin Firth's character.
This is the same man who said the worst date ehe ever had was with a woman who couldnât speak English well. Alba CANNOT speak English well. Sorry but she canât. Now suddenly weâre having him claim heâs trying to speak her language? When the man couldnât even detect the Brazilian Portuguese during the red one interview? That isnât someone whoâs been living with a Portugal Portuguese speaking spouse. Youâd know the difference.Â
Over a week ago, we had a sweep of Press about his Cannes absence. It spoke of his motherâs bday as the excuse for not attending. Lazy and unprofessional. However, it was all family based articles. Now why wouldnât you talk about someoneâs spouse in those? Valid question, considering this girlâs name has been inserted as his âwifeâ into things that make no sense (Women he never dated 18 years ago for example). Wouldnât a present day narrative about his family focus and his motherâs big birthday include his partner? Youâd think so.Â
Then we have the House sale. Nothing in the house articles about sharing the home with his âwifeâ and splitting their time between x and x locations. Nothing. Just a single/solo man conversing about his home and erasing Concord off the entire history of his living the past decade. Wouldnât you talk about him since âbeing marriedâ they are splitting their time between here and here? Another logical topic to talk about someoneâs partner.Â
Once again though, this girl is inserted only into a topic surrounding a MOVIE. Sheâs not present at said event and the reporter doesnât even follow up his proposal story with asking where his âwifeâ is? Suspicious.Â
Looking at the bigger picture here, the narrative really only repeats itself. Notice how itâs never moving forward? Itâs the same repeating and regurgitation of things said since 2022/2023. You donât need to remind people youâre âmarriedâ like this every film one of you does. That shows that the relationship is not built on anything real or genuine . Itâs transactional.Â
The rest of the narrative is implying that this man brought over a young woman to just be his basement partner and not have a LIFE here. Why isnât she ever seen with Ana Luisa ? (Who is here part time) , What about Amanda? Who lives in LA. What about Mark? What about Nichelle, what about Chrisâs family and friends? Why is this girl hidden away like a dark secret? Why is she only ever seen with HER friends in Portugal?Â
And with Chris, why donât we ever see this man with his family anymore? What about the beloved dog?Â
Also think about how he behaves around her. There is no affection, no looks, no conversation, no comfort with each other. He doesnât style her with his own glam team , sheâs always in old clothing yet heâs wearing a million bucks. His exes got his glam team, even his friends did. Wouldnât you think a spouse would be getting your treatment for events theyâre attending with you? Not hand me downs and sale racks? Theyâre a reflection of you.Â
Ask yourselves these questions, because none of that makes sense. Youâre erasing a narrative from places that it makes sense to discuss a partner and inserting that partner into movie promotion like itâs just a prop and something you donât care about.Â
In conclusion , no itâs not real, nothing about this suggests it is a genuine love story with a foundation with two willing people. It looks like a transactional creepy mail order bride story from Lifetime.Â
You can all believe what you want, I knew she wasn't going to be there, and you don't like my opinion I don't care, I know you all are gonna screen shot away and do your boring mocking because your life depends on it.
