#relationship speculation

[green-blue-heller]

Misha and Vicki's separation HAD to have something to do with him finishing working on SPN and the COVID lockdowns, right? I mean prior to that people were speculating about Vicki officially changing her last name to Collins (for the cookbook, etc.) It's weird that it went from them doing their first ever book tour together at the end of 2019 to them filing for divorce a little over a year later. Imo, something must've happened during lockdown (summer 2020) that broke them up.

Let me start off that most of this is speculation. Though, some things are facts.

But I don’t think it’s that recent.

They sold their very first LA house that Misha rebuilt, in the summer of 2020, not long after Misha came back from VegasCon.

And then the end of 2020, Misha bought his new house.

It makes sense that Vicki used Collins as her last name for the cookbook because they wouldn’t want a family cookbook under Vantoch because of the subject matter of her other books she has published.

I’m not sure why Vicki would change her last name to Collins, since Misha’s real last name is Krushnic.

Though, if she were going to change her last name because of the kids having the last name Collins, then she would have done that years ago.

Because Misha has talked about how it was interesting sometimes crossing the border with the kids because his passport is Dmitri Krushnic, hers is Victoria Vantoch, and the kids are West and Maison Collins. That they would get questioned about the kids not having the same last name as either of them.

So, if she were was considering changing it, I think she would have done it years ago.

I think they had intended to file shortly after filming wrapped but then COVID happened and the courts were locked down.

Plus, for whatever reason they filed in California for the divorce and not Washington. So for Vicki to file where she did, she had to establish residency for three months.

And we know in the beginning of March at the con, that he said about just moving recently to a new place. I think that’s Vicki’s house (because that place is not his new house) and he was staying there because of lockdown and to help with the move and the kids.

Plus it also probably helped the kids with the transition. Because even though they were used to him not being there with filming SPN, this is different and permanent.

Luigi's mansion 3 thoughts

What was with that invitation that polterpup had in the opening? I realize that Mario really more works on the star system where you have a baseline understanding of the character and their roles but who they are and their circumstances change for the need from scenario scenario. Much like say the Looney Tunes. You know basically who Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are but what their exact circumstances and how they relate to each other are really just set up for that one off episode with a broadly understood Baseline. Daffy's generally going to be jealous and or having issue with bugs. Bugs and Porky will likely be friends with bugs being something of a wiseacre either leading or maybe ragging on him but not too hard

Well this opening has the Mario Brothers in an interesting setup. Wolley and yvan are back if they're kind of characterized as young kids and then later servants. We have the generic toad and he seems more of a hapless put-upon I don't know actual concierge or retainer? And then we have Mario and Peach very much as if they were a couple. The mama and the papa of the group which just makes me think what their relationship is in light of Odysseys ending. Is this like I mean is Goofy old Nintendo going to be like it's okay for two people to date and kind of have kids and do all this couple stuff but never ever marry because that's not the kind of relationship they want and will make things work?

In light of this I'm also thinking what it means for Luigi to be on what seems to be a very couple sort of vacation? where he seems frame to be alone aside from his spectral puppy and what was that piece of paper in the dog's mouth that he read. The reaction seems like affection so I thought it might be an invite to the mansion towards someone he was interested in. Given how it was signed "DS" it's possible that he and Daisy are still meant to be an item and that's her initials Daisy Sarasala(sp?)

Seeing as the lure to the mansion is a trap that doesn't seem quite so likely and from the way it's framed it's like he's a Tagalog. So likely this entire trip is it being caused by Luigi as has been set up in previous 2 games.

Actually now that I think about it it's not so much the trip is for couples so much as the framing of the trip is like it's for couples since we see Mario and Peach up front and they're relating to each other and they're not quite romantic not quite just friends sort of dynamic. Then we see Yvan and Wolley. Then we see Luigi alone only to be joined by the ghost dog.

Not sure how I feel about him freaking out about the appearance because that couldn't have been a surprise to him and give him the later affection it seems odd that he be scared of his own dog appearing when he kind of summoned him

Want to know what's funny about all this? I probably want the equivalent of this game without the ghostbusting. Note seriously we just go on a vacation with Peach Mario and Luigi maybe they get into some wacky Antics but there's no need to save them from portraits or anything like that.

Let's see if any of these turn out to be a future Bateses husband 😂 (Annie)

I think a lot of couples (marriages) didn't survive the shock of lockdown. I know at least three different couples who simply couldn't take spending that much time together. They were used to a very different arrangement and to be suddenly together-24/7 was just too much. (One husband bailed on his wife and kid after only a few weeks!) the adjustment to their lives Misha and Vicki must've had to have made in 2020 was probably very difficult. For two people who were used to a lot of freedom.

While this is true, Misha also didn’t really have anything else lined up at the time, so he would probably have been home either way.

Though, forced proximity is a different mindset.

My husband worked from home for about 3 months and I was ready to kill him… lol. But he still had a part time essential job that he went to, and I also have an essential job, so I did get to leave home (and him and the kids) to go to work.

Though, we went seven years working opposite shifts and not seeing each other often. It was a bit of a shock to the system to have him home all day. Especially when he had to use my office to work in.

But personally, I still think it goes back to 2017 when he moved in with Jensen in Vancouver. Knowing what I know now about how as soon as the courts opened up and she had residency, and him moving to Vancouver, it just makes more sense. To me. 🤷‍♀️

You got my pity for sure Trace, I had a boot for a broken door two summer ago, it sucks so bad!! (Annie)

Let the speculation begin!! (Annie)

I am a bit on the fence about talking about a person that has never been featured on the show. With speculation before where we posted names the people had been featured on the show before or had been leaked some way or another (Judson on a live video with Kelton). Thanks for understanding! (I did check her out and she seems like a lovely girl and a possibility). (Annie)

I think Jed will courting Lauren Cadlwell and Jer that girl in the Valentine's Run picture, Lydia?

From what I have seen both would be good looking matches!

I don’t know exactly what you mean by being in their footsteps, but we do keep our eyes open. It all still looks very casual so far. (Annie)
