Ben Barnes turns 40

Well, here are the eldergays and why waste a perfectly good thread?

Is he working?

Daddy can I suck your cock and feet?!

Who? Ben or this thread? I thought we might continue on this hitherto completely ignored thread, to avoid comment from cheesy people who get so annoyed by ever new threads.

Si when Ben is gonna go public with Julianne ? After the release of his EP I would think. He doesn’t want the numbers to be bad

R5 after lionfairyfortygate?

R6 yeah people caught that on Twitter and aren’t happy about it. If they get that at least 11:11 is about her, or at worst the whole album the fans aren’t going to like that. Truly the one thing that unifies the whole fandom (and even here) it’s the fact that we cannot like that woman

Most of his stories in the past 6 weeks were emojiing her. How dreadful!

Is this just going to be an endless back and forth emoji hunt until the end of time? I've been tired of this for a year already.

I just don’t understand what went through his head when he started doing that stupid game. He’s 40 and acting like a teen in love. Hope mama Barnes will slap some sense into him

R10 but again, not spending any time with the woman. She in Europe, she back, he filming his video when she back for few days, then he to England. Them he in Hungary for months soon.

Imagine still dating someone after they spend an entire month enjoying themselves with others dudes.💀 couldn’t be me

Maybe he didn’t want her to go to London because he would have had to explain to mama Barnes (who had ovarian cancer) that his girlfriend (who supposedly has endometriosis which increases your risk of ovarian cancer) that she cured herself with dancing and positive thinking

R12 He’s actually as obsessed with JH, it seems, as some of his fangirls are with him 🤔 The manchild needs some new pussy. Someone hook him up!

And let‘s not forget wherever else she has been while everybody else was locked in at home.

R14 but when does he ever even get hers?

Actually, the Ho has been pretty quiet on IG aside from lionfairy40gate at 11:11 UK time. I worry that she flew on her broomstick over there :-(

Omg was it at 11:11 UK time? AAAAAARGH!!!!

R16 We assume he had an at-bat or 10 last fall into early 2021, isn’t that the consensus? Then they broke up or she friendzoned him.

She has some football thing with Nina tomorrow so no UK for her I think. Source Twitter.

R18 Someone said it went live a bit after 3am PST, which syncs up with 11:11 in London.

Also he left for Europe a week after she returned. She had a kinrgy on the Wednesday when she came back but did the interview from home because « she was in contact with someone who had Covid and need to self isolated ». On the Friday Ben went alone to that birthday dinner and on the Sunday while he was working she had people over her house. And few days later he was in London

R20 Pfew! Exhale

She was doing some hiking with her mom yesterday so she should just stay there

R19 yes I know, I was talking about the recent past. Like why fortygating if not fornicating?

R22 Self-isolating from Covid exposure DOES NOT MEAN YOU INVITE PEOPLE TO YOUR HOUSE, you dumb twat Juicyanne!

R26 oh don’t worry she was wearing a mask while cooking for the people 🙄🙄 because of course Covid leave you alone when you take off your mask to eat

I‘m swooning at all I have missed and I already thought it was bad.

Maybe he made her realise she can‘t be with men anymore. And so, he made her whole by leaving her hole be.

I find it ironic that two Leo men (Sebastian Stan and Ben) have been caught traveling during the pandemic to spend time with a problematic blonde

If they aren’t fucking anymore I don’t get the point of those emojis game. Also Ben might want to take some precautions after her European trip

Well, JH obviously loves the attention she gets from us. We should make a pact with the other thread as well, not to mention her anymore. End of JH.

Cindy has now donated and marked Ben. Come on. Girl. Have some dignity!

I think emoji gate is all a game. JH will take any attention and it doesn’t matter if it is good or bad. They said to people mag after the ice cream walk they are just friends. I think she made a pact, just like she did with Chuck after they broke up, we do these games and get the attention we want to sell whatever it is they are selling. It kind of works, BB gets hate on twitter with every new emoji story. Her past gets dragged out every time. Like they are barely in the same place at the same time. I would be pissed watching my girlfriend on yachts with rich dudes for a month, and then at a hotel with the dougster, tits and ass out. They aren’t together. He is using her and they need to wake up that it is stupid and it is turning the tide into more hate than love. He is acting like a dumb twat. Divine masculine are alphas, they don’t roll like that.

R34 never an alpha he

R34 I wish it was that but also why the single 11:11 I highly doubt that Ben I studied English literature Barnes, started believing in numerology by himself and decided to name his very first single, which is a big deal, 11:11 if it’s not in any connection to her

R25 Great question. My best theory is to echo what others have said: she’s convinced BB that it helps to build attention & interest, because she has soooooo many followers and is soooooo influential. And he’s sufficiently whipped to believe her.

Well, there is always the *trolling DL* theory.

R38 It’s an idea, for sure. I like to think he’s more mature than that — even though there’s really no evidence to support that thought.

Anyway, as stated in the other thread, by posting fairy lion plus the forty she has removed the possibility of coincidence completely and let‘s everyone know all of it has always been about her.

R40 Yes, 💯 agreed. Instead of sharing his video or EP announcement, she made it about HER.

Ben has been liking a lot of comments on his last post. I’m glad his mom is doing okay and he seems close to her. So I just wish he would be like « maybe I shouldn’t be involved in anyway with someone who does believe in modern medecine »

R41 she tells everyone that the added fairy cartwheel, the beach fairy, the fairy in his sunset, yes, it is always only her. And the lion, yes, the lion is and has always been him. And there you go ladies and gents. She gloats and gloats. And maybe Cryhinoa will cry no moa once she understands all her reposts are messages to da Ho.

R41. Right? Why not just share it? If they are friends? Why the f not. Would be hilarious if they were completely unaware that the entire grishaverse is aware of their secret HoStos.

You bitches know he is a fag and she is a lesbo, right?

R45 Oh, you’re like 10 threads behind. So cute.

R45 oh honey … honey honey honey pie.

It’s a parasitic relationship to whip up hype for his EP and for her irrelevant doughy white ass. He must think that being ‘secret’ and ambiguous about it is amusing. It’s not.

She seriously needs to get a girlfriend though. It would totally help her businesses and career. Like a ruby rose type. Come on JH, we are sick of you.

You know who’d be the perfect toxic match for zjHo? LiLo! If she’s still alive, that is.

I am waiting for JH‘s nonbinary announcement any day now.

Also for the record on one of the covers BB posted a year ago the caption is I’m singing a song for you, yes you, with my new mic or something like that. If this album is about JH he been singing these fucking songs for a year boo and you just embarrassing him the whole time.

I wonder if you read the ET Canada article on Twitter before he commented with blue heart on it. This is very confusing, wish they could just say something and not play around with fans. I get you private but seriously it's getting kind of old.

I have to confess I just liked my own comment by mistake. And to reassure you that I’m not JH altho that’s the kind of stunt she pulls 🤣

I meant to say if he read.

I also meant to say he's private

R55 when I read that, I actually thought, the poor man has no first hand experience of anything.

R56 i liked I get you private. Seems simplified babytalk for him to understand

I guess he got the People Mag connection via JH. He would not habe followed them unless he already knew they‘d feature him, and those are her pals aren‘t they.

I would like to have sex with him

R60 not if he does the singing face

R60 SO MANY people want to have sex with him I don’t know why he can’t find someone else. And you know if she buys fake covid test results to get out of Italy and has such low regard for modern medicine she definitely doesn’t get STD tests regularly and might not even be up to date on all her shots. He’s got a problematic pussy kink

R62 I stopped wanting to have sex with him when I saw the singing face and emojigate has completely ruined it. Now I fantasize about scolding him.

R62 He's also got an embarrassment kink. Toxic twosome.

R33 I saw that too, but did you see this one?! lol..

R45 ohhhh hunty if ONLY he was gay!!!!

R65 I wanted to reply, “Cindy, YOU are weird. Full stop.”

Celebrating the singing face

R65 R67 Yeah I saw those. Poor Cindy, trying so hard.

Btw he hasn’t liked either WLBB or BBG comments on his SU2C post. He liked a scant handful just after posting but then seemingly went back a little later and liked some more, but still nothing for them.

Does anyone else’s IG really mix up the chronological order of comments made, or is it just my crazy mobile app that’s doing that???!!!! Comments which I saw right after he posted are now appearing way the hell down the list, with later posts in a big chunk in the middle??!!

Lily, if you came along over here, I didn't say for them to fuck off that Pixie's story wasn't about bb, I said FFS, which means for dick's sake. And I meant it like the girl has the shittiest timing for posting and also people will connect literally anything she says to him.

Poster with multiple personalities (can I call you Sybil?) I don't actually care what you think about me as long as you don't harass her anymore. :*

I don’t know him or his gossip well, but after reading about him, I assume he’s:

Uncut Got an average endowment Willing to fuck pussy for a role A furious masturbator Versatile, but prefers to bottom…as though he’s being worshipped Got a very, very specific kink which results in potential boyfriends running for the door.

Correct?

R70 Unfortunately for her you are right that DLers sleuthing/conspiracy tendencies will probably lead us (myself included) to BB-based conclusions. We will never know if they are true or not just like with everything else.

R71 This kind of speculation throws me all the way back. Love it. I wonder if BB's fanbase would be much smaller if he were gay.

I don't know if this is forty but that swimming hole looks to be teeming with snapping turtles and water moccasins.

^^^ adds to the butch persona he’s trying to create.

R73 Nice theory but it’s in SW England so more likely to be tadpoles and minnows 🤣

The part that gets me is that BB and JH did two pap walks and a trip together, but has not been seen with each other for a while. Now emoji stuff on their official Instagram's? If he wanted to be private, should he be even doing it. I personality think they're just making a joke out of it, but who knows.

Ryan Phillippe also just posted photos of himself and his son in a woodland spring...I wonder if they all celebrated together!

R76 It’s a totally misguided publicity/hype campaign. Constructed by the Ho and Ben Weak Puppy Barnes gave in. Leo’s hate to say No to people.

R77 Different continents 🤣

Don't ruin my fucking fantasies, R79.

I hope he is not in an American river. The way these republicans have ruined the groundwater, he could end up growing gills.

R81 Honestly surprised you didn't go with "he could wind up with his average but totally talented uncut dick falling off.."

It was right there..

Ben wants to be private so bad, did he really think people wouldn’t notice that his single is named 11:11 when she always talked about that and even wear 11:11 necklace ?

Having slept over it all, why do I feel an allergic reaction to someone like BB talking about ‚*following your dreams*? Am I the only one who thinks, man, do what you must, but you‘re living on a hilltop in Hollywood and you wanted to be Prince Caspian. Who has ever denied him following his dreams?

Correction - slept on it. I need coffee and an edit function.

R84 Some folks would speculate that the Ho’s denied him his dreams. If his little ditty is really about her, then it sounds like it was unrequited.

Thank fuck.

"Highly anticipated"

LOLOLOLOL

« even if it costs you, even if they can’t ‘be yours.’” » I found that pretty interesting if that song is about Julianne ?

I'm tempted to write about Montanagate and Emojigate on the gossip site OhNoTheyDidnt - the only place that COULD accept it. That would bring a lot more attention to the thing. Yes or nay?

R89 I think you should, a little promo for his single !

On their relationship what if Julianne is always going to see else and Ben is always taking her back when she’s done? Remember she wen back to brooks during last summer and when they finally filed for divorce in November he was back with her. And now he did the same ? A month in Europe with others men and now she’s back with him

R88 Yes, see R86, that article was posted on the previous threads and that’s what it sounds like, right?

R89 I’d love to see that!

R91 I think what I can never get my head round is that he could really be interested in that piece of white trash.

R92 I want to be positive that that song was written recently but he could have wrote it last year when she was back with her husband to win her back

I downloaded the wrong copy of Pootytang

106kg of mozzarella cheese in my ass

R70 hey R.S didn't disagree with you on your point, just asked the other poster if there were any other receipts I'd missed.

R89 YES!!!

R91 Who knows what is going through his head...But they are more alike than he wants to let on to the general public. I do think it's a publicity hype thing now for them but it does seem he is/was more on the investing in a relationship than she was.

Beaaaaaanz what the f**k

I want to lick butter off yo tiddies

I just wanted to be the 100th reply

R89 Do it

I always wanted to be a tap dancer

R102 follow your dream

R89, as our BB says, follow your dreams, write that article! I definitely think you should go for it. Do you really think they are the only ones who would accept it? Send it to few more sites.

You guys are so supportive

It's just all hypothesis based on a few online pictures - the bigger gossip sites usually need paparazzi stuff or "sources close to the subjects". Anyway, I've started the process of making a new account for ONTD... if I stay this bored, I might go through with that...

R106 Mention how his fans are not pleased at the tie-in of 11:11 to the HoMonster - that’s verifiable!!! 🤣

R107 Who - owning a very little amount of sense - would be? She's, honestly, terrible.

R106 Montanagate isn't hypothetical, there's receipts. If nothing else it puts the lie to the "just friends" official party line. That should interest ONTD. For emojigate and the rest, just make sure it has an enticing headline.

"Open Secret??"

"Hiding In Plain SIght"

"Eagle-eyed fans spot Ben Barnes & Julianne Hough Flirting by emoji on their Instagram accounts! This comes after pictures of them apparently on a romantic couples' retreat over NYE surfaced earlier this year, despite their many official claims of being "just friends."

Like that...

I came up with the idea but I wished someone else, with proper English and writing skills, would pen it. I'm no good at writing, not even in my first language. 😅

Let's crowd-write it on DL! I started with the first sentence, now someone else go.

I think you could also remind people about her ass exorcism and the fact that she healed herself from endometriosis. People love when celebs are crazy. Would be good for Ben’s image!

My temporary outline: - who is BB (shot to fame with Caspian, stalling career for a while, good TV roles recently, very protective of his private life) - who is JH (dancer-singer-actress, ass-exorcism, new age shit, gossip queen) - pap walks agreed with Blackgrid, Montanagate, Emojigate, 11:11.

Anything else?

R113 People over there love speculating on love lifes. I'd do a running list of women he's been allegedly linked to. They also love listicles with pictures and master posts so that could fit well into the outline

R113 I think you should also definitely emphasize the dodgy timeline (her still being married etc.) And don't forget her yacht girl escapades and husband shopping in Europe.

It started with a lion and a heart while she was visiting Paris, from where she also posted stories in a revealing black negligée.

R116 Working title…. “What’s Going on with Benjamin Barnes?”

Didn't it started with that picture of the lion statue she took first thing when she was in Paris?

Focus on the 33 and the 40 for their birthdays. That can‘t be explained away.

Still can't believe he took her back after she went away a month to find a rich husband. You need more self love and self esteem Ben

It is all so baffling. This talk about real love … then ERW is somewhat typecast, a classier blond blue eyed version? This white trash? Speaks volumes. Stockholm syndrome or something similar?

R120 apparently they kept it up throughout the husband hunting. Whatever *it* is. But why not just be open about it??? It would be better than the cryptic stuff.

R121 I think he can't stand being alone, and has probably bad taste in women anyway, so when last year she show some interest in him, he just started acting like a dumbass. Thoses hidden emojis is a great exemple of how dumb they actually are

R122 Keep it throughout ? So what Ben was okay with her trying to find a new husband? What kind of relationship this is

I‘m interested in the allegory of fairyfucking.

R124 obviously. Since most of emojigate happened while she was in France and Italy.

I can't imagine "Im searching for a new husband Ben but I will send you hidden emojis!"

Does anyone really think she actually *told* the Benster that she was husband-shopping? 😂 Get real. She told him it was work — prob networking or seeking investors or whatever for her failing businesses. And he believed her.

R127 hence the trolling theory. Which does not make anything any better, in fact, worse because it would be self sabotage.

R128 Surely a 40 yo man can't be that naive ??

The problem is, his true love blabla on ETCANADA plus emojigate/montanagate/papgate makes it all so much more yucky.

But, even if I‘m totally turned off by him in general, I keep binge watching the shitshow. It‘s like New Amsterdam. You can‘t believe they‘re shoving Ebola at you in the first Episode, but you just can‘t stop.

R128 I think he sees what he wants to see & has his head in the sand. Which isn’t so odd for mete mortals who don’t look like Ben Barnes, but is mind-boggling for someone like him. But he has a storied history as a player, so IMO, he deserves to have the tables turned on him.

She will throw him away so fast once she find someone with more money that is crazy enough to marry her. She will never settle for Ben, Brooks has much more money than Ben and even that wasn't good enough

He is most likely extremely receptive to psycho games.

R135 Clearly 😂

Who can make her hole again?

I still don't understand their relationship but honestly I am baffled about the fact that he did his first single (something that is super important to him) about her stupid belief in numerology. Like dude?? You wanted to do an album for years and you uses her 11:11 that she was using with her husband ?

R133 Why do we think he's a player? AFAIK he's had very few (speculated) girlfriends but I haven't seen anything that points to him being a player?

I'd also like to know more about the player aspect. What does the DL think This? This is why we need a timeline. Or to speak to more exes. Is he truly a fuckboy?

R138 maybe the song is about Brooks and the Ho since he himself has never experienced anything close to true love.

‚If a song is about you, you know who you are - and you will broadcast it to the world.

R139 R140 Well-tread territory in many prior threads.

I can't believe he's dumb enough to think she's his true love

R142 She's gonna have fun with that once the song is out !

R144 neither can I. But it is very helpful to not care about him or his career anymore.

R143 I must have missed that. Other than dating a few random girls I haven't seen anything here that would point to him being a "player." AFAIK from here he's been linked to what, five or six women and he's 40 years old? Doesn't seem like much of a player to me but perhaps I missed something further back.

Hope he see this!

R147. Same here, maybe I missed something.

R132 so true! I can't look away at this point. Got my popcorn next to me. It's so much better than any show he's ever been in.

R149 I do wish that people here would explain further if it's something we missed because I'm really not getting where this player label came from. Or is it just DLers exaggerating?

R151 It's mostly a lot of speculation without any proof

R151 I did not understand it in a way that he was a chronic player, but that there have been events where he has behaved like a player. Anyway, that is always a very subjective thing.

R148 Just want to say that Ben already untagged himself on that 11:11 pic of julianne and Brooks so he saw it. If he wasn't aware of it, hope it hurts

R154 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I LOVE IT. Idiot.

HE did kept the ass exorcism on his tag !

R154 R155 If the OP is here, please add it to his hashtag!!!

R156 he was probably too distracted by the 11:11!!!

R153 Interesting. I was curious why that kept being said considering we know of only a few women he's been tied to: Peyton, Rayana, Tamsin, Pixie, Megan Young (although I don't believe they were together, more that she was trying to make it look like they were) and JHo. That's hardly much of a player IMO. Especially by Hollyweird standards.

Not that I want to talk again about her but that pixie girl is all speculation, I personally don't believe it

R154 he probably thinks it is a fake.

His follow count’s down again but it’s Danielle Galligan, she’s deactivated.

Well, Benji, are you reading along? You missed the assgasm on your tags! 11::11 goes No 2.

So, Benji, if you are reading along, you might also head over to the other threas (xxii) where you can see how your twitter fans loooove your interview with that canadian site.

R160 It's all speculation with all of these women. The world may never know...as long as BB continues to keep his fat mouth shut.

R154 I love the comment tagging Jack — maybe he can spell it out for Ben. The mental gymnastics that Ben must go through to preserve her image in his mind… reminds me of an abused woman.

R163 I think I’m missing something here, it’s not on #benbarnes? He wouldn’t look on the exorcism hashtag 🤣

Tammy is a tough cooky.

R167 he has been tagged in the photo. That is how he can untag himself. Not hashtag, but marked.

R165 but at least with Pixie she confirmed it. That's more than what we've gotten from the others.

R-67 The poster just made the account private. 🤷‍♀️

And now he DID untag himself from her ass!!!

R167 Yeah I do get that, I asked the OP to add it to #benbarnes hashtag as that would widen its reach. R163 was saying it’s no 2 but he and the fans wouldn’t look on the assessment hashtag!

We just don’t know her like he does, guys. We just don’t understand their connection.

Oh no, now they are gone …

R173 sorry

R173 assgasm changed to ‘assessment’ by auto correct 🤣

R175 WOW did him or Jack get them blocked??!! Maybe too quick for that?

R178 For posting a harmless screenshot?

R179 Exactly!!!

He untagged himself so at the very least, must’ve hit a nerve!

Or didn’t want her hijacking even more of your First Single Limelight?

Wake the fuck up, Benny B.

Cut ties or this is your life going forward!

The account is still there, just went private.

And changed from imveryok.ee to imveryok.pa

The pictures are gone anyway. Both. Or are they still there?

R183 Since the account is now private, can’t answer that question ;-)

R184 ain‘t they one of us?

R185 My 🔮 is on vacay, sorry

I thought they had posted here themselves about it. Must be Cheryl.

Did he also untag from the SmartAss memes?

R188 isn‘t smartass blocked by him?

R173 I only just realised there were 2 pics 🙄 dohhhh

R189 I think he said in the other thread that he used multiple accounts to post the memes.

I find it odd that although his Twitter count keeps climbing steadily, his IG didn’t get enough of a boost to push him to 1.9 million.

Well, since he never pushes the projects of other people, except Lisa Joy because he was at the premiere, people won‘t push him either.

Wow you guys have been busy tagging assgasm pics (name perfection by the way👌🏾) and a 1st draft of a working document for info sharing to gossip sites.

R193 yes true!

Another question, has anybody seen Nina Dobrev‘s story the other day when she presented Ben Platt‘s new single? Saying BEN! BEN!!! You have a new song/album (don‘t recall exactly), saying BEN in an exaggerated manner several times? I felt she was trolling our Ben who has just made his great announcement.

Well I hope he enjoyed Sunday Family Dinner earlier. I know I enjoyed the ice cold "shit hitting the fan" for pudding.

R195 No I did not see that! HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

R196 yeah, she was really going BEN BEN BENNNN! Look, you made a new album! Oh Ben!! Ben! And it was after BB‘s great declaration, whereas Ben Platt‘s album came out on the 13th. Might be a coincidence. But I can‘t shake the feeling.

R197 Regardless of whether BB is her cuppa tea, what’s her beef with him? Why would she be so opposed to a guy who clearly adores her friend and is devoted to her?

R198 well, I could have imagined it all. And she really was gushing about Platt.

R198 maybe that is not what‘s happening. Or what has happened.

Well, aside from that story, we pretty much pieced together that she’s no fan of his.

R195 Yes I did and I laughed cos that was a blatant trolling also what happened to Darren Cris's new song release?

I feel a sense of underwhelm of support from his friends (publically anyway) from all his film/TV cast crews old and new and way less blue check ig accounts than I anticipated. I dunno somethings a bit off with his friends circles, publically.

R202 thank god for you Lilly, if you saw it too.

My favorite moment of Nina does not like Ben saga was when after Montanagate Ben started following Shaun and Nina and they never followed him back, but then a couple months later Shaun and Nina did a ski trip with Paul Wesley and his wife and Shaun followed Paul immediately after they posted a bunch of pics together. Then Ben got the hint and stopped following them because they clearly hate him.

I think that Ben, Ben story was a total troll, just like the Darren Criss comment of uhhh on his duet with Lizzy. Darren was with Nina and Jules at the time on the yacht.

R204 These are the moments when I get really confused by him (ok, more so than usual). He chases the ones who ignore him, and ignores the ones who support him. Something fucked up about that psychology.

Maybe JHO and Nina are secretly pissing themselves, when JHO makes him believe she cares for him.

If they have been together for what almost 2 years it’s crazy to me that she lets her friends treat him like that. Even if it is subtle shade. She posts a hidden emoji for his birthday and they are cool, even though her friends never support him and go out of their way to shade him. I really hope they aren’t together because it seems toxic. She is putting Nina way before him and throwing him crumbs. Come on man you are 40. Stand up for yourself, see the signs.

R205 What don't you understand? He chases all the really pretty and really popular people cause he's so absolutely desperate to be liked and accepted by them. And he ignores all the ugly awkward outcasts who actually care for him cause he believes he deserves better.

Is it truly a mystery why he's still single at Forty Years Old..

R205 This is really common. People get bored by people who are more into them than they are into the other person. Unfortunately even at 40 people still don't grow out of this if it's a habit. It does not bode well for BB in terms of having a healthy relationship. He will only want someone who doesn't want him back In the same way. Thrill of the chase. Classic.

They are bully types.

R195 Ha!!!! So funny. 100% she was trolling BB. I don’t think she likes him 🤣

R208 Not for nothing and maybe this is rude but JHo isn't even pretty to me. He could do so much better in the looks department. She's hardly even "popular." I don't get it at all.

Oh, are we LIVE? It just disappeared.

R204 Almost spot on, just add ‘LateStickerGate’ on the dog sled vid and the vibe between the 4 of them at the dinner table.

Sorry, that was for the other thread, where we are LIVE watching Ben modify his pinterest while reading us.

R215 REALLY!!! I will head over and catch up we did the same the other day on an old thread seeing Jim live when he was picking changing his twitter and IG profile pics it was hilarious😂

We are not the enemy, Benji. At least not all of us. Some are fore sure.

BB liked Darren Criss posts this week for Darren's release and reveal day on Friday..no likes/comments back that I can see from Darren to BB so far for his music and birthday posts.

R218 maybe since he has only annouced … maybe the will on the 19th of September.

R218 But he never liked Georgia's post for her (as director) music video release on his birthday. But maybe she isn't "pretty and popular" enough to get him ahead in his career though..

But if anyone needs another chuckle, he's desperate enough to have liked this tweet. It's not an actual article. 90% of it is reposting the entirety of his IG posts. The other 10% is fawning over how heart melting he is. 100% lack of substance.

Well actually, just give it blond hair and I now completely understand why he just liked it.

He was so self absorbed he did not like Georgia! How mean.

Actually, seeing ERW being in 1111, Rise up may just be his other single, when Floriana was involved and he did also say it was exciting and added notes. Maybe he did two because he won‘t have time once SB goes on.

R221 I don’t see a like from Georgia on his video, either (tho she did like the album announcement & this is 40 posts).

R222 Calling in the freebie favors from his previous co-stars, makes sense. The Twitterdom will freak out over Flo.

Guess JH could not be in the vid coz she was a-yachting.

R225 Oh man. I’d love to have seen the collateral damage on his SM counts if he’d done that.

And what a bird flip that would’ve been to BL, yikes.

R224 Yup!!! For sure. Add that to the JH speculation on 11:11 - ohhhh Benny Boy. You’re an idiot.

R225 R226 I think even Mr Barnes would realise that that would’ve gone down like a lead balloon. Look at the reaction already on 11:11. The fandom are restless, just not saying too much about it - yet.

17 Sept is going to interesting!!!

R228 they are saying a lot. They just don‘t mention names. They don‘t tag. And in the private groups they‘re at it.

[quote] And in the private groups they‘re at it.

Are you at liberty to drop some choice quotes for us? Keeping them anonymous, of course.

R230 I can‘t but they are referring to their *gc*s on occasion … wait I‘ll try to find you one.

Here you are (that *answer* from him is faked by them)

R232 Do I remember correctly - a few months back, someone boasting on Twitter that Ben had joined their ‘list’ which I understood at the time to be the Twitter equivalent of a group chat? She’d posted (alleged) screenshots. But then again she could’ve totally faked it of course. When I saw it I thought it seemed very unlike him. I think they were posted on DL but couldn’t tell you which thread.

R233 they are doing a lot of photoshop stuff for fun.

R231 Considering this is a continuation of the geriatric thread. . . is gc group chat, and if so are you part of those chats or merely seeing and reporting on the references to the group chats?

I'm old but I at least know what Tumblr is!

R235 gc is group chat and they are referring to their discussions within on occasion. I am not in one, but the JH hate therein has featured repeatedly.

40 and single... ancient closet gay.

R236 Yeah I'm not that old after all! Thanks for the clarification.

R228 just when we think BB isn't that stupid, he does something even more stupid and we face palm in DL🤦🏾‍♀️ 😂 I did put a wager in the other thread that JH has a cameo or that there is Lion and fairy symbolism in his video.

R237 ....or infantile fuck boy

R238 who cancelled you? Somebody clicked FF by accident?

R239 If she has got a cameo, is it too much to hope it would be this one????

Can’t believe she thinks this is a good enough look to post!!

And what the fuck are they pushing *now*??!!

R240 What happened now? Did I miss something?

Jh and nina were are at LA Chargers game today see end of xxii and new xxiii threads.

R242 oh you mean … Your last post shows as cancelled to me (lines running through it)

R244 I actually have no idea what that means?? But uhhhh, still here?? lol..

If everyone could please stop referring to JH, Nina, Darren, etc as the pretty and popular kids that would be great. They are by no means the popular ones in Hollywood they are C list AT BEST. Ben’s obsession with JH is inexplicable but trying to explain it by saying he’s chasing the pretty popular kids is nauseating. A washed up glee star, a failed reality TV star divorcee, and a formerly popular (only to teens) vampire show girl are not and have never been the cool kids in Hollywood and they aren’t even that pretty.

R246 Correct. He’s actually the one with a viable acting career. The rest are washed up. They should be kissing up to him, IMO.

R246 i think this is all in a high school context. The cool kids who end up working at the local supermarket

Anyone see the 11 on that chargers jersey? She makes me want to throw up. Shame they never actually spend any time together.

R248 Exactly. "Cool kids" is entirely a mind set. It's *especially* how you act and how far above everyone else you are, but also how you see yourself and how you put that out into the world. They have many millions of followers. They constantly post thirst trap pics. And especially, they RELISH exploiting and showing off their extreme privilege.

They are the definition of the cool kids in my book.

R250 Exactly - they think they’re cool, Ben thinks they’re cool.

Rest of the Wold - no.

And the followers are bought as we all know, that’s the biggest laugh!

R249 Oh yes, she totally chose that number jersey. Check out the other thread, there’s some amusing stuff on there. Benny’s tags have been invaded again. He detagged the first batch but they’re back up with an additional one.

And Dobrev chose 9, also mentioned on the other thread.

9 - 11 … insensitive twats.

R251 *World* 🙄

Seems the Ho’s on her way to North Carolina, family gathering. So if BB’s heading back to LA, more time they won’t be spending together.

Keep your eyes peeled for more emojis, I guess.

R254 I think we can officially update their status to FWOB.

R255 Love that!

Who knows what they do on facetime

R257 Fuck…. what a horrible vision that is!!! 🤢

R360 My takeaway was that he viewed it as guaranteed handful of films, without competing with so many for so few plum jobs now.

R259 Oops — I posted this to the wrong thread 🤦‍♀️

For this worried about Jimmi. Posted on the other thread because I can't be bothered to scroll and see who was worried.

R259 That's ok. I think he was complimenting both aspects of the studio system, and he's not wrong. I've said hundreds of times in these threads that Ben would have been so much better off in the 1930s. The studio system would have known what to do with him, and given him work suited to his range. In those days, they made the types of films he'd excel in -- they'd feature him in screwball comedies with one or two musical numbers. He'd have the same type of career as very early Cary Grant.

R261 I'm glad Jimmi is alive but I'm really not surprised about his divorce. That relationship came out of nowhere and seemed to proceed to marriage awfully quickly. And Sophia was quirky to the point of obnoxiousness. I'm beginning to form the opinion of Jimmi that he's one of those people who really likes getting married, so rushes into things.

Jimmi always filmed those lovely sunset videos from his balcony towards the Hollywood Bowl …

Or rather towards the Reservoir …

Back over here for a while as the other thread’s gone down a Peyton List rabbit hole. Yawn.

Ah, but now we can talk about JH's unicorn tarot reading. I scoured it for secret emojis, but didn't find any. Granted, it was a half-assed effort.

R266 Oh thanks, Syl, was just about to get my photographer’s loupe out.

No emojis spotted, just more pointed/vague hints about current or new partners. This stuff is just so vomit-inducing. And she believes it??!! FFS.

Oh dear, sound the ‘Handbags at Dawn’ alarm again over on the other thread. We’re very volatile right now, aren’t we?

See what you’ve done with your stupid e-cards and emojis, Ben Barnes!

And we're sooooo mean to poor little Ainhoa who has more than once made public threats to people who speak ill of Benny. 🙄

You can address the issue on this thread

Ok, bringing this back to S&B talk. Anyone else notice that Ben’s beard has been manscaped to his Darkling style? That must mean pre-production!

Oh dear … nowhere undisturbed in a bit of Ben Bashing …

Bringing this article over from the other thread because "Barnes and his publicists" made me chortle. "His publicists" = Jack, Rob, JH, and Mummy.

And this stupid EP is only 5 songs??

R274 Ummm, his family has been pushing this? Where.. to whom.. Do the neighbors count? I mean, you do give free promotional copies to the neighbors, right? (though obvious points for "chortle")

And keep in mind he apparently spent all of "lockdown time" writing the songs. For responsible people that was a full year, which would have been plenty of time for plenty of songs. Especially since he's apparently wanted to release music all his life!

Yet Ben somehow managed to only have enough time to write five. About 20 minutes worth of music. Despite already having "tons of inspirational old quotes and poems in tons of old notebooks" at the ready. I wonder why that is..

Clearly wasted too much time inventing the Bancake.

I hate having to explain sarcasm.

R276 Ditto ;) I very clearly need a sarcasm font. Maybe a satire font too while we're at it?

(though the points for chortle were genuine)

R275 see you said "responsible" in reference to that Covidiot poonhound. We naturally assumed you were a frau.

R278 No, didn't refer to him. I was attempting to make the distinction that responsible people had a full year with nothing to do while staying home for lockdown, and so had nothing but empty free time. For. A. Year.

Ben only had enough free time all year to apparently write 20 minutes worth of music, despite already having all his inspirational material. The implication being, maybe he didn't actually spend that much time locked down with empty free time, now did he.

R279 I curtsy deeply in apology. My brain was baked in direct sunlight today and I may have lost a few million brain cells I couldn't spare. I'll brush up on my reading comprehension. 🤣

R280 Well my particular brand of "sarcasm" oft relies on drrryyyyyy deliveries which translate less ideally in (fontless) written form, so I happily share half the blame. In real life I'm really quite hilarious.

(hope you enjoyed a lovely summer day)

So where is Ben taking his 'Live, Laugh, Love' ass now? I'd say back to LA, but that wouldn't be a magical, mystical adventure, would it?

R282 I’m guessing a quick stopover in LA to take care of anything house (and hopefully not Ho) related, tgen off to Canada.

R282 My thoughts *exactly*. Especially given that William Moseley video. Maybe he's doing one last proper vacation that doesn't involve the obligatory visit back home?

What William Moseley video?

This is how DL is so fucked. Ben Barnes is still literally a MILLENNIAL, which DL hates beyond anything else (he was born in 1981 which makes him one of the first millenials), yet he's an 'eldergay'.

R285 it's probably easiest just to tell you check comment 279 on the other thread??

Why is he so boring? Is the Van Morrison quote from Etsy too? No pencil drawn numbers on it?

R288 Found it on Pinterest this time.

R289 since he‘s been there recently …

Ben Barnes' EP track listing leaked!!

1. 11:11

2. Live, Love, Laugh (Live Your Truth Remix)

3. If You Can't Handle Me At My Worst, You Don't Deserve Me At My Best

4. It's Wine O'Clock Somewhere

5. Dance Like No One's Watching

Live, Love. Laugh - The Ben Downstairs Mix

R289 can you find out if the sunshine darling Etsy image was shares on Pinterest too?

R291 as much as I love this, I‘ll be: 1. 11:11 2. Rise up 3. A song for you 4. Sunset lover 5. Hohoho (X-mas and New Years Mix)

R294 #5. . . micdrop.

*chef's kiss*

R293 So far I have not been able to find that one on Pinterest, just on Etsy.

Just picture him searching and cropping those.

And I notice he’s got a new necklace. Image not clear on his post, and his hand’s hidden it on the fan spot pic in Toronto (link on other thread 334) . Wonder what it is time… 11:11? Lion and fairy emoji? Didn’t spot any emojis on his post btw.

R298 *this* time

R298 It is entirely possible it's just coincidence, but he maybe, possibly, *might* have learned a "public" lesson (obvious caveat of EXTREME maybe) on emojis. The last emoji I can remember was August 16th, as I can't remember any on his birthday posts (or after). The last time he liked a post from The Ho was August 17th. No likes since, even though there were posts where she wasn't shilling her businesses after his birthday. On his birthday, as I'm sure everyone remembers, the multi-platform trolls struck (Cheryl? Where'd you go??). Apparently the one in particular that really got him on IG was the reposting of The Ho's 11:11 pic with Brooksy. On the day he teased the debut of his new song, 11:11. We've been noting on DL how much the twitter fangirls have been breaking down believing the whole album is going to be about The Ho and how her name and the fairy emoji now literally require trigger warnings for them.

Is it remotely possible he's learned a lesson about Emojigate and publicly associating with her and how utterly toxic that is for him? At least for the time that he has to promote and sell this album. Literally speaking, what are the chances (and how long will it last)?

btw.. In "researching" the dates for this I realized that Ben went back and edited his posts to credit the photographers. One of which was this guy. Interesting note.. Thoughts?

R300 Yes, even with caveat there seems to be a distinct lack of Ho and emoji interaction. He may have had another Chuck moment. And now he’s in Canada, so hopefully even more time they won’t be around each other.

The quote he chose (linked) for his latest stories seem to be more family-orientated and the pix were from the UK.

That’s right Ben, remember who’s really important! Hopefully Mama had a good old chat with him.

R300 R301 And yes, interesting he added the photog credit!

Someone definitely must’ve spoken to him. I doubt he figured it out on his own. Maybe Jack did an audit of his SM and did a sweep of the online chatter about him, and was like, “Whoa, bro… grow the eff up.”

R303 And pointed out how detrimental The Ho Connection has been to his musical ambitions.

R303 In that case, Jack needs a superhero costume, STAT!!

R304 Yeah, it was only to his musical ambitions.. ;)

R305 I’ll rephrase… *particularly* to,his musical ambitions 😉

*New* project? Not S&B related then???

Sylvia, I think Ben just tried to slap you. His like of this post is clearly meant for your knowledge of old Hollywood actor's CVs. ;)

R308 Watch out for that on a story. Or in a song!

R308 Jesus Fucking Christ, Ben Barnes has the soul of a white Baby Boomer cubicle frau trapped in the body of a soap opera villain! One who keeps two or three cardigans in the bottom drawer of her filing cabinet because "OMG this office is SO COLD!"

R310 Well that was oddly, wonderfully and hilariously specific! lol..

R311 And accurate, don't forget that!

Syl, remember the Sherpa lined jacket in fucking LA?

Ben Barnes: Mug-cradling collector of themed throw pillows.

If he's filming a new project so close to filming s&b, maybe it's a short film or maybe a small part in a project?

R315 Could be. Someone on the other thread mentioned the meltdown if he happened to have a cameo on FL’s series 🤣 Archie posted a “beaten up by Ben Barnes” pic on his story. No idea if it’s an old BTS shot or current though. Archie’s becoming as vague as Ben.

R316 I think it's from season 1. I don't think they would be allow to post bts for season 2 already but who knows with them

R314 I have worshipped your descriptions ever since yesterday, but since I ran out of 1.99 and am not willing to pay for this sissy ever again, I had to wait for my little DL slot to offer up my congratulations. Harr harr.

Should we collect some more random quotes? Like a Ben Quote Bingo? What will be next? - It‘s better to have lost in love than never to have loved at all - - but first, coffee -

R319 "Never agree to say or do anything that isn't you." - Ben Barnes

R320 never again is what she swore the time before - depeche mode

But the twist is, his quotes are even more predictable and banal than we can even imagine. Dalai Lama, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan … John Lennon must be next.

- Count your age by friends, not years. ... John Lennon

"Love is the flower you've got to let grow."

"Cake or death." - Eddie Izzard

Yes, OP. Two decades ago.

Scrapping on the other thread again 🙄

Did anyone pre-ordered his song? So we can see how it's related to the Ho

I don't know what I'll do on Sept 17. I know that I should watch the full video and listen to the song so that I can fully participate in DL convos.....but I really, truly do not want to.

R329 A-fucking-men. Couldn't have said it better.

R329 I feel the same.

Oh yes the music video, maybe he hide a fairy in it

So thats what he's working on

People get convicted of murder based on less evidence than we have for establishing the timeline of his dalliances and whereabouts, so stop with the mental gymnastics discrediting the sleuthing done here.

Mmm, nice. An episode could be a 2-week on-set job. Don't know about pre-production, though, maybe another week.

He arrived in Toronto on monday and my guess is that he arrived few days before filming just to avoid being to jetlagged to work, also he can't go to the convention that is the 10-11. So yeah maybe at least a couple of weeks? I wonder if he will be able to do some promo for his single

HP Lovecraft? I hope Ben's is playing the typical wide-eyed innocent Lovecraftian protagonist who eventually goes start raving mad and has their soul devoured by Cthulu.

Considering the face of the other actor, I'd say Ben is the victim/the good one. Looking forward to this, genre adult stuff, might be fun!

R334 I think you meant for this to be posted in the other thread. FWIW I agree. People are really doing mental gymnastics to discredit the sleuthing but to each their own I suppose.

There isn't any sleuthing if there isn't any proof at all

Syl, you told me to come here. Bleah. It's already here.

This is how so-called gossip sites like DL end up with no gossip -- someone spills the gift of piping hot tea, and people wanna discredit it. It makes the next person with legit tea think, "why bother?" This isn't the FBI; we don't need DNA samples and cell phone data from all parties.

Why on earth it vexes some people so much to think that BB fucked an NYC local is beyond my comprehension. How can y'all on one hand think he's God's gift to women but then be surprised when someone fucks him?

And that is all I will say on this subject.

How do you spill tea without any proof? I can go on insta and said "I fucked Ben when we were both in London" doesn't means it's true but apparently you don't need any evidence to believe it. You guys are ridiculous, or should have said girls? Because apparently some of you like to pretended that you're gay men when you're actually women.

R342 LoL this is my take as well. If I had tea I wouldn't be bringing it round here, that's for sure.

R343 No one is forcing you to believe anything but you seem very agitated. What are you even talking about? Who is pretending to be gay?

R344 I'm not agitated. I like that forum, I do think sometimes some people are reaching a bit just so they're right about what they think it's true about Ben. I like gossiping, I just prefer when there is some proof to validate that, because some just take speculation as straight facts. And I'm also okay with calling Ben out for his bullshit, I'm less when some people take it to almost "harassment".

I did learned that there is apparently some long users here that are pretending to be gay when they are in fact women, but hey I can't give proof so do as you want with that info

R345 Didn't you just say "how can you spill tea without any proof?" Now you're making accusations about users and not providing any proof. Doesn't mean whatever you heard wasn't true, but you see how this works? Somewhere along the way, people get proof and can't provide it exactly as you've just done. All you can do is know your truth.

FWIW I do not agree with the bullying. But you come here and say you don't believe he's hooked up with a girl from NYC with no proof it DIDN'T happen (how could anyone even do this unless they were in bed with the two of them? It's impossible) and in the same breath accuse people here of faking their identities without providing proof of that.

Personally I don't care. It's an anonymous forum. Pretend to be whomever you want. Have at it.

I’d really rather not either, but it’s like car crash TV - I won’t be able to look away. And imagine the fun I’d miss out on analysing those syrupy lyrics.

R347 That was about the music vid in case you hadn’t guessed.

R346 Don't you see how easy is it to say stuff without anything suggesting otherwise ?

Obviously unless they did a sextape and it goes online we will never have proof of them hooking up. But like I said on the other thread, it was all too easy in that story, so many big coincidence that make it fake to me, and like I said why some people are taking that as real facts when we have nothing that even prove that they know each other ? Like some stories we had for Rayana, Julianne ...

R346 Also Ross is the one doing the bullying and also the one "having intel" about that insta girl, I found that funny seeing how obsessed Ross seems to be because "ben isn't what I thought he was"

Someone up thread said murders are convicted with less evidence than what you all sleuth here or something along those lines lol and that just proves how delusional some of you are. If we are taking in terms of crime, the whole Pixie debacle reeks of planted and staged “evidence” that turns up all too conveniently and involves people who have openly admitted to having ill intentions, yet some of you are so desperate for “tea” you refuse to believe it’s not true. RR, Peyton, and JH at least had multiple instances of photographic evidence and a pattern of interactions that *might* indicate a relationship although we have no idea if it was anything more than friends, but there has been literally no proof with pixie besides some easily staged and screenshoted comments and a crazy person having a discussion with himself on the DL about some punisher shirt pic and a blurry pic of her sitting on someone’s lap that some of his personalities wanted to share and some didn’t and then became especially unhinged when he learned how DL works and got caught. All backed up by the resident deranged harasser who for some reason thinks it’s his personal responsibility to defend her honor and validity to a bunch of strangers so the narrative doesn’t shift. Some detectives and con artist you all are 🙄

LoL so only DL approved patterns are "evidence" and everything else must be apart of a very large and complicated conspiracy involving a ton of people. Ok. This is getting ridiculous. I maintain that everyone will believe whatever and whomever they please and this is now a moot point.

Oh and apparently everyone here is pretending to be gay. Coz some random said so. The world makes sense now.

BuzzFeed is testing the water...

Normal emoji, not secret ones.

R355 Wonder if it’s The Call of Cthulhu - could his 2nd gif be of an art student? You know how he seems to like having meanings behind just about everything.

R342 Exactly. It’s a gossip site. We surmise based on info we dig up. It’s not a courtroom. Though, as I mentioned, people have been convicted on less evidence… and exonerated with more. And reputation is all about the jury of public opinion, so sucknot, naysayers!

*suck it (wth, autocorrect)

R358 I thought that was like se Olde English curse and I was going to add it to my vocab. 🤣

Also, I'm going back to my old lurker self and will no longer be signing my posts or contributing much. You're all right, I have become Bizarro Cindy and I need to lay off the Covidiot. I couldn't let it go because he never acknowledged his wrongdoings, but I know he never will. Maybe I'll find a new windmill.

Syl, you know where to find me.

R359 It’s up there with motterfucker as one of my better typos ;-)

Regarding the NY story, I have then claimed, I believed it was a setup to gather attention but that Ross was the victim, not the perpetrator. Also Ross in his Smartass guise only posts rarely on Insta and Twitter, just for special occasions. The 11:11 stuff came from someone different, as well as the Ravena stuff on Twitter. So toll call him obsessed and claim he spends all his days persecuting Ben is false. We all know who Cheryl is (the female gay imposter) and that it‘s not Ross, but everybody BUT Ross. Including me.

Is it too maudlin to remember the good old days, when all we did was speculate and bitch and gossip about BB (whether we’re all gay or a mix of everything)? Before the lunatics took over the asylum?! LMAO

R362 Have a seat next to me at the piano. BB ain't got nothing on Edith and Archie.

There are also several prominent darklinas and barnacles who are certainly willing and able to play a double game of trolling Ben themselves in the hope to educate him. Therefore halt to all patronizing and generalizing and let‘s all just have fun speculating and detecting to hearts‘ content, to the very minimal results we are actually finding. And by we I mean those kind enough to do it. This is not the Guardian. This is just some people who don‘t know each other anonymously having fun together in their very own, strange way. Ben does not appear to be daunted or harmed or hindered in any way by us. All he ever has to do is delete some tags.

R364 Ha ha absolutely true!

R361 DO we know who Cheryl is?! I’m still so confused by that. Ravena was not in the same class as Ross, more along the lines of what R364 is describing, but I suppose there is a fine line between educating and harassing in some cases

R361 R362 Keep in mind it all became a game of politics. It's about having/furthering a narrative. They can lump everyone together as all crazy and all doing the same things (we don't at all..), and they just can't understand why we are still mad at him (despite explaining over.. and over.. and over), and why don't we just give up and leave him alone already cause it's exhausting reading our comments (they're worried about our mental health after all..) (also they come here for escapism, so no real talk. . . they need a fucking safe space on DL!!!). And it's basic psychology to just repeat things over and over so it becomes more and more of a fact each time you hear it, regardless of whether it's true.

Yes I realize and admit we have our own narrative that we repeat. Ben is a hypocritical asshole for doing Montanagate. Ben is a fucking moron for engaging in Emojigate and continuing to so supportively bind himself to The Ho (and many other things unfortunately. . . not the least of which is drawing all his confidence/self worth from inspirational quotes and New Age beliefs that he wears everyday around his goddamn neck). But keep in mind that it's possible he learned at least something from the latter (though ALL his fanbase helped him learn there), but obviously didn't learn a goddamn thing from the former as he's still a full fledged Covidiot. Political strategies work. Repetition works. It can change behavior. It's just unfortunate for us that the majority always has an advantage over the minority. It's a far larger echo chamber. All Ben has to do is ignore and untag us, and soak in all the fawning unconditional love of his fans, friends and family and he's golden for all time. He never has to learn a goddamn thing. Just like his quotes tell him.

The lunatics came here to disrupt our narrative with their own in order to defend Ben from harm. Simple as that.

Speaking of maudlin.. ;)

Is anyone else actually kind of excited for the fall and what we'll get from BB? He has a lot coming up. Really hoping he does some good promo for his album and his upcoming projects. I hope it doesn't go too quiet once S&B filming is underway.

R368 even if he’s quiet I’m sure there will be some activity from the rest of the cast that’s slightly more active than BB and my include I’m in the background lol. At least when they aren’t working

R368 Surely we know Ben better than that by now. If I remember correctly his first single drops in 13 days. Have we heard a peep from him even with that coming up? Nope. Why? Cause he's currently filming something. And he's a creature of extreme habit with exact and very predictable patterns, despite what the naysaying newbies believe. So I wouldn't get my hopes up for content once S&B starts.

Excited is a huge overstatement. But I am mildly interested in his Lovecraft one-off tv episode. Which is far more interested than I've been in any of his projects since Westworld Season 1.

R371 yeah, at least something interesting.

R370 you don’t need to promo if Nerdist and the fans will do it for you lol he just planted the seed. The few second preview of his MV has already made it into so many edits

R374 well since Chloe is in the vid … i‘m really interested to hear some real music critics. Can‘t be me because I refuse to listen.

R373 Valid point of course.. but remember how much this means to him.. his passionate previously unfulfilled dream.. how much he's fizzing with excitement.. it's his special moment..

But his lazy entitled ass is just going to rely on other people to promote his long awaited musical masterpiece for him??? Is he literally working 24/7 that he can't spare five minutes to compose a "two weeks till you can download my first single caption over a sunset picture" IG story?? I'd be surprised if it took me even thirty seconds to type those words, and we all know full well The Sunset Lover has TONS of appropriate pics at the ready.

Your fizzing with excitement ass is supposed to be counting down the days with your fans Ben. Do you really not know how any of this works?

R375 Perhaps he’s got Emoji Overload Syndrome after BirthdayGate?

R375 Do YOU even know how “any of this works?” Are you in such a line of work that you are qualified to sit on your high keyboard warrior hill and lecture him on anything? Especially when he’s finally busy filming something you bitter hags are actually interested in, you can’t go a day in your miserable lives without without shitting on him so now you have to criticize him about not promoting the music you refuse to listen to anyways? Can you guys really not realize how pathetic this is when you are grasping at the most tiny inconsequential things to fume over and especially pathetic when you have to pretend like you know enough about someone’s life and work and industry to speak with any kind of authority

R377 Woah chill out there! That was a comment from one person not everyone on this forum. It doesn’t mean everyone has the same opinion.

R377 Is it funny that he just listened to me? Or is it just plain weird that he did exactly what I said. Well not exactly, it was a picture of him, not a sunset. But surely that's close enough, no??

Life comes at you fast..

R379 Funny how (apart from the watch) there is no mention of the title. Maybe the Ho & Brooks post with 11:11 on it has irritated him slightly?

R377 well, yes I am in the entertainment industry too! Now what?

Anyway, did you ever read the motto of Datalounge: idle gossip and pointless bitchery. If you are not into idle gossip and pointless bitchery, I don‘t know what you‘re here for.

So what if I‘m a bitter hag? Let me be a bigger hag, FFS. This is bitter hagdom and BB bitching is my chocolate before bedtime. I spend about ten minutes on it. You on the other hand keep writing lengthy essays on our bitterness.

Anyway, no points for anybody in the inspirational quotes bullshit bingo.

I was almost hoping the new textmyeyes was an act of trolling in respect of above mentioned Bingo, but I fear it isn‘t. And if it was, it wouldn‘t be well done. Because it just paints him as banal again.

Edit R381 but before you berate me, I‘m not the poster you addressed there, because we are all different people with differing opinions

And I do confess, I sometimes spend more than ten minutes, when the outrage gets hold of me. But since I ran out of Datalounge credit, I can‘t even do that.

Was JH's motivational post today directed at Ben because even she thinks his EP will fail? I want to believe.

R384 All right Fox Mulder. . . ;) I just want to know if we can put her in the slingshot and pull back far enough to send her into space forever! Has she tried to go for Bezos as her new sugar daddy yet?

R384 🤢

BB hasn’t liked it yet but I’m sure he will. The Ho’s got ‘Barbie Doll’ filter on. Really going for it on the man-hunting front. That ain’t for BB’s appreciation, I’m sure. She’s after a much bigger wallet than him.

Even Bezos has some standards. And he’s already occupied. I think a rich jock is all she can really hope for. Anyone who has made their money by actually being smart isn’t going to be able to hold a conversation with her enough to marry her and she’s too embarrassing to take to any of the elite networking events. people will just think she’s the paid entertainment that accidentally got lost and tried to talk to the guests

R387 That last sentence made her sound like a malfunctioning Westworld host!

I was thinking more along the lines of when Ivanka was somehow allowed to attend G-20 and attempted to talk to world leaders with embarrassing results lol but I like the Westworld comparison too!

Well I’m sure some here will be thrilled to see this post lol

This poor geriatric millennial still hasn’t figured out he can’t hashtag 11:11. But that’s probably a good thing so people can’t click on it and see all the esoteric BS related to that number

R390 Oh OK he’s mentioned the single title on his Tweet unlike on his IG story. Hoped he’d kinda got sick of the 11:11 thing but… no.

R386 Still hasn’t liked her latest thirst post. BB’s maybe figured out at last that she’s man-shopping?

Ahhh! Ben and Jimmi - so glad he’s bumped into him. Another sensible person for him to be around!! I’m liking it.

R394 And turns out this was in Regents Park, London, possibly 8 Aug! Good deflection, Benny!

Brace yourself Sylvia.. he shaved.. ;)

R396 He looks freshly scrubbed!

R396 Cthulhu be praised!! Ain't no dated hipster beards in Lovecraft's world. Suck it, Ben.

R398 Well, don't completely get your hopes up yet. . . as I just explained in the other thread, this exact "look" is likely because he just had a life cast done for FX work.

Should we place bets whether he keeps it?? ;) Looks like we need a Proof of Beard Life selfie Ben!!

I adore his cleft chin and he has such a beautiful facial structure: Cthulu be praised indeed! He's one of the few men who doesn't need to hide under a beard to be hot, I hope he films like this.

R399 I'll be incensed! Does the silly bitch have a Beard Clause in all of his contracts to go with his NDAs??

R401 Obviously, it's right after the "must take shirt off in order to sex appeal" clause.

Oh dearie me, Benny Boy’s dropped a clanger again. Liked HoFace’s ‘The Activist’ announcement. Idiot.

R402 The fact that he had to include a shirtless scene in his own (presumably) self-directed 11:11 music video is so cringey. Reminds me of Ben Affleck directing "Argo."

R404 (It was actually an S&B director.. Kreiger or something??.. who directed it) Does it count that all we've seen of his shirtlessness (both in the 11:11 teaser and his & ERW's Dubsmash) so far was his shoulders? Think we'll see the real thing in the full video? Such a tease Ben..

R405 I bet he’s gone for shoulders only in the video. Wouldn’t go too steamy I bet.

So demure and ladylike.

I think he only shows his shoulders because his breast is not as in shape as could be, and he has a skinny guy breast with protruding breastbone when he is not all muscled up

Anyone surprised that the Ho’s been deathly quiet since ActivistGate? Or FuckwitGate as I call it?

JH *sobs down phone* …….Oh Benjeeeeeeee why everyone so horrible to meeeeeeeee?”

Because you’re a horrible bitch, bitch.
