In Victoria Ward’s article about the trip she said that they have been fiercely protective of their kids which is why they hid them. But they realize they cannot do that forever. Also including their mentions of brining the kids to Invictus in the past.

You were all right. I gave them the benefit of the doubt but the face reveals will definitely happen at Invictus next year. TBH, I think the increasingly public profiles of the Wales children has put Harry in panic mode. He wants the same level of following and adoration for his children. Which is why we are seeing this backpedaling.

Not just the increasingly public profiles of the Waleses. The BRF had a lot of public events recently that probably sent Harry down this spiral and he's lashing out trying to get back in to be a part of them.

The Queen's centenary celebration, Louis and Charlotte's birthdays, Charles and Camilla in the US, William and Kate's anniversary, Peter's wedding, Trooping, Garter Day, Ascot, World Cup. Now throw in George going to Eton and mention of Harry being excluded in all the articles, Kate's glowing reviews from Italy while Meghan bombs in Geneva, "no one came to see us when we were in Australia," "Charlotte is Diana's mini", Bower's book, no response from RAVEC on his security, Charles meeting with Zelenskyy and Zelenskyy's warm praise for the UK, Sentebale's lawsuit, Charles wearing Charlotte's friendship bracelets, and we get this:

RAW EXPOSURE | CHAPTER ONE | MAIN CHARACTER BIO

(Rated M for Mature Audiences. Enemies to Lovers Romance.)

Summary:

Sephiroth doesn’t do press. He doesn’t do propaganda. And he certainly doesn’t do publicity.

After six marketing specialists quit in rapid succession—Shinra’s PR Department is out of options. Under mounting pressure from the President, they place one last bet on a wildcard: Thatcher, an enigmatic cinematographer known for filming the unfilmable—creatures so dangerous, most people never live to tell the tale.

She’s not there to curate his legend. She’s there to see him. Frame by frame. And that makes her more dangerous than anything he’s faced.

Sephiroth expects another wide-eyed media pawn. What he gets is someone who doesn’t flinch when he looks her way. Someone who keeps calm when things get real. Someone who watches him like he’s the rarest subject she’s ever studied—and the most human.

Stranded together during a mission gone wrong, trust takes root in the cracks neither of them want to admit exist. Between hostile terrain, broken comms, and danger on all sides, the space between them only gets smaller.

He’s spent years avoiding the lens. She’s the first one who makes him want to be seen.

Meet The Cast:

🎥Harlowe Thatcher, Cinematographer

👁Brinley Yuzuki, Personal Assistant

🪭Emris, The Shadow Tailor of Trade Row

📈Evelyn Rochford, Director of PR Department

♟Wren Tavers, Senior Brand Strategist

🚨Marigold Santoro, Brand Compliance Officer

🍰Debbie MacCrae, Marketing Specialist

🦂Asra, Enigmatic Desert Shadow

Author's Note:

Hi guys! You might recognize me from my other Sephiroth story, The Art of Misdirection, which is nearing its long-awaited conclusion. (Don’t worry—I’m still finishing it!) But this idea came out of nowhere, wrapped itself around my brain, and refused to let go. After a week of internal screaming and plotboarding, I’ve officially decided to dive into Raw Exposure.

Sephiroth continues to be one of the most compelling characters to write—equal parts myth and man, menace and mystery. And coming up with bold, unpredictable love interests for him has become my newest obsession. 😅

Raw Exposure is my take on a corporate-meets-combat slow burn romance, laced with action, unresolved tension, and a healthy dose of mutual observation. Inspired by The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Agatha Christie, and a bit of Indiana Jones for good measure, this story explores what happens when a reclusive cinematographer is tasked with capturing Shinra’s most elusive war asset on film—and ends up seeing far more than she bargained for.

I’m so excited to tell Thatcher’s story and her reluctant, magnetic connection with the PR Department’s worst nightmare: the Wraith of Wutai himself. 🖤

Thank you for reading—I hope you enjoy this ride. (And yes, updates for The Art of Misdirection will continue alongside this one!)

You know what, I started thinking these days... I believe most queer loki or lokius fans who were mad over the series or the sylki thing, wouldn't be so mad if the series actually added visible representation of Loki flirting with men. He is canonically flirty both in the comics and the movies, so it would be just canon and better.

Definiely better than going for the safe heteronormative mode. Loki is a fictional character and exists in a vacuum created and written mostly by cishet white men, (excluding Taika), so really, representation needs to be SEEN.

Loki is flirty and have always been flirty with female characters on the Thor movies, so why not put men there too? A character known for being a flirty, genderfluid and bi demi god, should flirt with more than just ladies.

That's canon and now we know that he definitely had sex with Sif and the Grandmaster even. This is part of who the character is, so what is your problem especifically, with people asking the series to stay true to the source material?

I said before, the fandom projects too much in the character and like to pretend their headcanons of Loki being aromantic / ace is actually true, but that couldn't be further from the truth, so you either admit you don't want to see Loki flirting or loving male characters or stop pretending you cared too when Loki flirted with almost all the ladies on screen during the previous Thor movies.

Bi people will remain bi, it doesn't matter who they are dating, but we are not talking about real life, we are talking about entertainement created in a vacuum and talking about a character who aside from being canonically flirty, has been written by cishet white men from the start (Kate was the director of the show, but not the writer, the writers are two cishet men and one of them even wanted to write Loki having a 'bisexual sex and an orgy', as if there's anything like bisexual sex. Sex is sex, periodt. The fetishization of bi characters is awful)

If you dig some numbers, the american TV has around 99 canonically bi characters and every single one of then were represented inside a M/F relationship, never MLM or WLM. When something is a pattern in a fictional space that exists in a vacuum, you start to notice the problem itself, which is tv series and movies always going for the safest choice.

Come on Mon. He probably just got that tote from his friend's bar.

Man, you would think I would learn.

What’s your assessment of the John Mulaney baby mess?

From a celebrity PR perspective, him going on Seth Meyers and giving his “timeline” was an attempt to make this situation seem less messy and more organic. It was hard to watch because from a recovery perspective, it highlights everything you shouldn’t do when trying to overcome addiction. It’s a very sad situation. Staying sober while in the public eye is hard. Add all of this drama and you are setting yourself up for failure. And that baby deserves two parents who are stable and healthy and not worried about pap pics and false narratives. Expect a People magazine exclusive when that baby is born.

Writing for the Daily Fail must be the most soul-crushing job. (Well, that is assuming someone at DF actually wrote this; I supposed it’s likely the, um, agency just hands this drivel over for DF to publish.) I speculate that there is a vast PR database full of cringe-y phrases, and a poor intern has to pull them at random to cobble together an “article.” 

leggy ex

head-turning display in her frayed jean shorts

looking the epitome of style with her knee-high black cowboy boots and hippie chic white tank top

captivating brown eyes

ever-busy actor

they briskly stepped out into the big city

And my personal fave:  The look wasn't complete without a sleek grey face mask

🤮

LMAO, I’m getting some sick glee over this. All the meltdowns over the harmless Tim & Zendaya stuff, and now they will be saddled with soap opera-y drama like this for the forseeable future 🤣 https://www.enstarz.com/articles/217149/20201116/alex-rodriguez-pissed-jennifer-lopez-armie-hammer-s-flirt-fest.htm l

I can't stop laughing about it, anon. Charmies can choke on their CMBYN promo wasn't PR. It's always PR when a love story is being sold.
