Whilst I continue to contemplate moving my #OLTL thread over from the Other Place, let’s start up a #SantaBarbara -centric ‘before they were famous’ thread 🧵🧵
What the hell, let’s do a wrap-up thread of various pix and clips of Robbie G.K. at the YSL fashion show in Paris on Tuesday which have trickled out on the socials in the days since, starting with this clip of him with his sunglasses in his perfect TEETH, because why the f**k WOULDN’T I start here??

> #Landman S2: still a messy program at its worst _slash_ most self-indulgent, but overall a MUCH stronger and more cohesive season generally as compared to the woolly first. Credit two things: 👇
> #Landman S1 hit a peak around episode 6 or so and then unraveled into something … ‘pedestrian’ isn’t quite the right word; ‘parodic of itself’ feels close. Billy Bob is a marvel throughout, but WOW are there peaks and valleys on this journey!

One thing François Arnaud is gonna do is keep his foot firmly planted on the National Hockey League’s throat, and honestly, I stan him even HARDER for it. #HeatedRivalry

Also: it would be pretentious coming from literally *any other mouth* than his, but François adopting a strong French affect in the enunciation of his name for this video is roughly the hottest thing I’ve seen this decade. When in (Paris), do as the (Parisians) DO, honey!! #HeatedRivalry

Wait, so François got a GRWM video (via Vanity Fair), and Connor got a GRWM video (via Vogue), but ROBBIE apparently didn’t rate one?? 😭 #HeatedRivalry
It wasn’t clear from the super-dark arrival videos, but Getty Images storms in to educate us all: Robbie’s pants are LEATHER, darling. When I tell y’all I am TREMBLING. 😍 #HeatedRivalry

My rational Earthbound brain completely comprehends that they are not a couple in real life, but when I see them together in pix, I’m always like: God BLESS you, Jacob Tierney, because I fucking see the VISION. 👀 #HeatedRivalry

Again, I tell y’all: *FIVE WEEKS AGO* this man was sleeping on a deflated air mattress. Now he’s taking pictures with fans and signing their books on the streets of Paris (in a country where #HeatedRivalry hasn’t even PREMIERED yet!). He’s gonna have rabid fans for the whole rest of his LIFE.

Ok, my sincere belief that Robbie and François coordinated outfits gets another evidential data point: they were groomed by the same damn guy tonight. They got ready TOGETHER, do you effing HEAR me 😍😍

No intel whatsoever what exactly Robbie G.K. is meant to be doing for the Yves Saint Laurent men’s show in Paris today, but the event will apparently be livestreaming on YouTube at the top of the hour (3pm e/12pm p), so you can bet your ass I’ll be tuned in. 👀 #HeatedRivalry

Some of François’ recent public sartorial choices have been just east of regrettable, but this (seemingly) tweed plum overcoat that he was snapped wearing on the streets of Paris today is a BANGER, do you hear me 💥💥 #HeatedRivalry

Would it stun @hardcorelore.bsky.social to hear that stories in which Scott learns that Kip has moved on with another man are one of my favorite subcategories of Skip-centric fanfics? I’ve run across several good ones in that specific lane, and, warts and all, this👇 is easily my fave. #HeatedRivalry

> #AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7413 > jeez, feels like it’s been forever since we looked in on Aaron, so let’s take a peek. You must know I am SCREAMING at Aaron meeting Susan’s niece Elly Conway for the first time and immediately letting ha know which team he bats for. Very subtle there, sir! 🤣🤣

Needless to say, if this man is walking the runway for YSL’s Fashion Week whatever tomorrow, I’m going to shriek loud enough to disrupt the *Richter* scale, so know that!! #HeatedRivalry
A morsel of scoop buried in the interview 👆 above, for those nosy ones of y’all like myself who might’ve caught Robbie’s Paris-bound Insta post this fine morning: he’s doing … ‘something’ (?) (!!) … for Yves Saint Laurent’s Fashion Week presentation tomorrow. 👀 #HeatedRivalry

Hey, our great good northern pals at CBC have released the full audio — nearly 14 minutes’ worth of it! — of Robbie G.K. trying and mostly failing to mask his unmistakable Canadian brogue whilst shooting the sh!t about Prince Edward Island and, of course, about all things #HeatedRivalry. 👂🙏

Welpity, my Scott + Kip candles, which I tucked into my backpack, set off alarm bells at the Palm Springs TSA. I thought for a moment that the lady — whom I’d describe as ‘nice-adjacent’ — was going to make me leave them behind, in which case I would’ve officially become a Palm Springs resident. 😬
