🌈 Richard Madden & Brandon Flynn: Part 43

Timeline:

It will be interesting to see what happens when the attention is on BF after 13RW Season 3 comes out. That will put him back out there including press, promotion, interviews, premieres, etc...

He is a really good actor. Definitely one of the more talented ones in the cast. He is completely convincing and in connection with his character Justin.

I wonder if RM will support him just the same as BF has supported him.

Damn I hate to imagine how much it will suck if they break up. It just keeps getting better and better with them.

Someone on the last thread asked for a screenshot of the deleted Italy tweet? I just found out that I actually DO still have it open on a tab on my computer. Does anyone still need it? I can try and get that tiny pic thing working and try and screenshot it, if people still want it?

Romance (fucking) in Italy... that's so CMBYN.

So I found this while doing some uh..... research the other day.

Previous thread

r2 "I keep my private life private"

And while I'm at it...

Friendly Neighborhood Anon (I shall dub thee FNA from here on out, for brevity's sake), I saw your additions in the last thread and I managed to finally get to them today (work is kicking my ass). Thank you for all you've added and might I add that the pic of Brandon and Tommy at the Boy Erased premiere on 10/29 was a particularly great find. Regarding the bit about Brandon still filming on Dec 22 per the clip, I added it to the timeline, but I seem to remember that we had an IG story from Miami on 12/21, so I'm thinking the vid on the cast account is most likely a later-gram. Can anyone confirm/dispute?

Lastly, I hope someone does have a screenshot of the tweet from the Italian girl who deleted it later, and also if there was interesting stuff in their social media activity today. Thanks in advance!

R8 Shaddup and leak your sex tape.

[quote] I wonder if RM will support him just the same as BF has supported him.

Why wouldn't R support him? It's his bf

I think Richard is a really sweet man too. He seems very kind and lovely. I think they're well matched.

Here it is

R12 Yes. They seem to be so lovely and soft (when not having hot, sticky, primal sex with each other).

Richard has been liking so many Glastonbury post while he’s in Italy why didn’t they just go even tho it’s for a day who cares about the paps its also good first experience for Brandon and they will be with their close circle of friends...

R13, thank you so much, you absolute star!

R6, damn. Where's that from? I sincerely am not sure I've ever seen a pair so well matched in terms of sexiness.

R14 I love Taron's remark that Richard makes you feel safe.

R2 I’m actually not sure if 13RW will get a premiere this year. Does anyone know does Netflix do that for their longer running shows? I saw a post on another forum saying they didn’t do premieres for their new seasons of their new acquisitions- Lucifer and Designated Survivor, and you’d think those shows would need the big premiere and promo push. They were going to have a premiere last year for season 2 but they ended up having to cancel it last minute, possibly the day of or the day before if I remember correctly, in the wake of a shooting.

So yeah, don’t know if a premiere is something BF will actually have to deal with this year. Similarly with press- if he continues as he has done he’ll do hardly any, he definitely took on the least of anyone. I’m torn now- I’ve always wanted him to do more, but now I don’t want people to have more opportunity to ask him about R or twist his words to make it all about R even if they aren’t. I half hope they get him to do US promo and send someone else to Brazil this time.

R13 "the one of 13", title for spinoff series focusing on Justin Foley.

R15 he's liking his friends' posts. He chose a romantic vacation that wasn't work adjacent in Italy . That's an easy call and says something about his priorities. Which are time with the man loves versus a festival he's been to many times.

R17 I love that too! I think Richard just seems to be that sort of lovely, reliable support for everyone around him. I saw an interview with Keeley recently where she was asked something like, "who would you call to bail you out of trouble" (it might have been bail you out of jail) and her answer was “it would have to be Richard Madden!”

R2 I expect Brandon to finally do a lot more US promo with the cast since dylan is stepping back a bit to promote Wallows and I doubt the reporters here will question him on his love life. I think in the Latin American countries they just are more eager about that stuff and to be fair Brandon and Sam were not hiding at all so it was fair game to ask.

R15 Yaah, I’m sure he really misses Glasto, but he probably felt like alone time with B was more important to him. I’m sure Brandon encouraged him to go but he ultimately chose him.

R18 Netflix confirmed 13RW is debuting in August or September, after Stranger Things next month.

R16 from his camping trip in Tahoe with Alisha Boe in November 2018. Also the stories with his cast mates are dated 12-21 and not the 22nd. He was for sure in Miami on the 22nd and in a car laughing at his mom with his family members in one of the IG stories from that twitter thread.

❤️ Your FNA

When he was still active on twitter Richard tweeted that Italy was his most favorite place to go to or something like that..I think someone recently retweeted it on twitter..

R&B could always go to Glastonbury next year. Maybe they just didn't want to go and wanted to spend quiet time together

Will Richard propose on this vacay?

R22 I know it’s coming sometime within the next couple months. I just meant I don’t know if Netflix will do a big red carpet roll out for them again, so that might not be something B has coming up.

More on how sweet B is and engaging, remember his interaction on the plane with total strangers? Just because he heard they'd been the same place he was he just chatted them up. And weren't they older people? He can just chat up everyone.

She doesn't seem to have any problems answering questions, also in English. Maybe someone brave enough could ask if they were holding hands, lol.

As much as I would have liked to see them going to Glastonbury I can see why they picked romantic Italian villa instead. It's also really hard to fuck quietly in a tent.

R28 I wouldn’t. She’s been generous enough.

R26 OHHHH I got you! I assume they will because last year was only cancelled because of the timing with the shooting and their finale episode basically being reminiscent of that. Now that Netflix is losing The Office, I assume they’re going to go all out for their most popular and current shows.

R25 A couple months ago I would have thought that idea insane. Now I’m not so sure. Goddamn.

I threw out the suggestion that I would die if he proposed at the end of the year and I think me and Maddyn both agreed that we could see it - I was partly joking but just like R31 I’m not so sure anymore. I feel like I could see them just agreeing to be in a long term commitment for a long time. Maybe after the talisman necklace, ~a promise ring~ is next? Lol

R31 you and me both

R27 He’s truly a light. The way he’s treated his costars and just anyone he interacts with is beautifully sweet. There was a fan he met last May in Barcelona while with Sam and she was showing them her art that she created, and he was like SO TOUCHED and softly said “wow did you do this? It’s so beautiful...” and genuinely was touched. I’m not even sure the fan herself realized what he said, but that one moment just showed me how naturally sweet he is at his core. It’s the little things.

I agree that they are totally gone for each other but marriage? No, I don't see it. Not in close future at least. Sorry for being misogynist but I think that's more of a woman's thing than a man's thing.

R30 Agreed. She’s seemed fine with questions so far but I hope nobody pushes it and spooks her, or brings down the Richard stans on her, who you know would try and make her feel bad about invading their privacy or whatever like what happened to that girl who tweeted about them in London. We also want her to feel able to post again on the off chance they actually do show up to that museum!!

And I definitely hope you’re right, about the premiere!

I think they had a spark or chemistry when they met in the very beginning that Michael and China Chow noticed it and both made inside jokes about it and even Ellie like the post not realizing it’s much deeper and serious it will turn out to be months later..

When we talked about them getting engaged before I was like they might be by the end of the year at this rate...

And now I’m like at this rate if they aren’t by the end of the summer...

R37 asia chow lol

But yeah I think since Michael is friends with Ellie, he most likely talked to Richard about her while Brandon was there. I still think at this time Brandon probably didn’t see any of this happening and knew that Richard was in a relationship.

R32 Lol, I wouldn't be surprised if they are engaged by the end of the year, they are sure moving fast! Maybe they have truly found their soulmate!

Imagine the hot shower sex.

R35 LOL men don’t get married? I know lots of married gay couples — some in their 20s and early 30s.

(Not saying they will; just saying I wouldn’t rule it out.)

Me, front row and taking notes at Brandon's TED Talk entitled: How to Work His Dick So Good That He'll Move Continents and Possibly Risk His Career For You

I feel like Richard just needs to meet B’s family and that’ll feel more complete. I’m sure they’ve FaceTimed him, but they probably don’t KNOW him know him yet. Hopefully Richard goes to Miami with B soon for the 4th of July or later in general.

It would be amazing if from Lecce, they went to Suffolk to visit Jeremy. Just continue the romantic getaway!

"Why wouldn't R support him? It's his bf"

Well, obviously *yes* he will support him...but I mean like...."publicly" as in showing up to premieres etc...even if he is low key, like seen in after party pics with the cast, etc. Like BF was when Richard won the GG.

r37 I agree. It was just fire and ridiculous chemistry from the first moment. That really is the only explanation to how fast and deep they've gotten. And I've said this million times before but I still find it so unbelievable and amazing Richard just nonchalantly going full on into a relationship with Brandon. It's just beyond unbelievable. I still feel like I'm dreaming all this up or I've been reading some crazy unrealistic fanfiction.

R46 Brandon wasn’t backstage at the globes from what we saw. That was critics, but I get what you’re saying. I think he’ll do the backstage support for B as well. He went to the wallows party for Brandon really since he most likely didn’t know Dylan lol. B never walked a red carpet for sam and only attended two music award shows with him and then after party for Grammys, so in that respect he was pretty private. I’m sure Richard will be liking all the 13RW posts and going to stuff if filming permits.

r41 Damn.

r43 Finally a Ted Talk that will pay off.

R46 If it premieres in September, he might not actually even be in the States. Eternals starts filming in England in either late August or September (I've read it as both in different articles.)

R39, I know it was for a pic but I think Richard already felt some electricity when he leaned on Brandon while Brandon was just happy he is becoming friends stated on a show that he is addicted too.. I also agree that Brandon didn’t make the first move because he wad in a relationship with a woman at that time and Michael who was there probably asked about her since they are also good friends.

R51 Could you just imagine Richard thinking “fuck fuck fuck stop asking me about Ellie” while staring at Brandon talking to Asia...he was probably having an eternal crisis lmao

internal**

r41 Back to that nipple. It has me hypnotised. Fucking lucky RM.

That’s why I didn’t believe they were already in a relationship in November just because of Asia’s comment when you put the puzzles together with Michael and Brandon ‘s post you realize it was just an inside joke and not only that but Ellie like It and Michael is good friends with her so I doubt he would betray her with his comments...

R55 yeah I’m still on the mid-late December boat. I think they solidified a relationship when Richard came back around that time for Ellen and then that’s when he asked B to go to Scotland for New Years. And then there was no looking back ever since.

"Will Richard propose?" LordT we would never have made it to thread number 43 without all the fanfiction being spun out of twitter sightings and good ole fashioned conjecture.

Truly don't want to discuss his ex (no offense) but I'd bet it was all but over by then and then he got with B very fast.

They were so fucking in November. As for Michael, I wouldn't necessarily describe him as her good friend. He's probably rich well connected socialite which likes to hang with celebs. R is a much bigger star than Ellie so Michael is never gonna pick her over him. He wouldn't say or do a thing over R&B.

Does anyone know the last time Richard went to Glastonbury?

R60 2017. But there wasn’t one last year

R61 oh wow so he literally would go every year if he could. thanks for the answer!

So he was with Ellie as well last year in some romantic gateway.....

R63 That’s what people do when they’re in relationships....? He just finished Bodyguard a few months earlier and needed a break. I think the major thing people are talking about is that he chose a romantic getaway instead of Glastonbury when he never did that in the past with Jenna OR Ellie.

Ehhh we've been over this a thousand times but I still don't think anything happened in November at least not physically - what I would bet on more is they exchanged numbers after meeting, a lot of friendly messaging back and forth happened which could have escalated to more explicit flirting. Then December comes, Ellie and RM split, RM travels to LA, meets up with Brandon again and they begin hooking up.

R65 this is the most likely scenario to me as well

R65 MTE. Also Brandon and him weren’t even in LA together for a lot at the same time during that month, so I’m assuming most of the communication took place via DM/texting/FaceTime

R64, but he wasn’t at Glastonbury last year as well meaning he was with Ellie in some romantic gataway.. hopefully Richard and Brandon do something different, break Richard’s pattern and do something that he didn’t do with Ellie around this time..I hate patterns especially something similar you did prior to the previous relationship....pls .don’t tell me they were in Italy around this time as well ....

Remember B's thirsty IG late Nov/early Dec? That was a guy who what he wanted and what he would get. No way had they not already fucked. But then again I've always said that R&E were over in Nov.

R68 Glastonbury didn’t happen last year. The most recent time before this year was 2017.

who knew what he wanted**

R69 I personally think he was flirting and talking/playing the field with other guys at the same time which seemed to cease in December once Richard probably told him that he was really into him in terms of a possible relationship.

Like I said before......I just love how Brandon is the first guy Richard’s been rumored to be dating /link to.

R68 Also, what patterns? Richard is always going on vacay when he’s free. This is the same guy who flew to freaking France after shutting off his phone and spazzing out about his Rocketman meeting. I think the man just loves to travel in general. If you look at the timeline or use common sense, it’s obvious that Brandon and Richard haven’t even had a true couple’s vacay this year besides Scotland which was a “get to know you more” trip I’m assuming. Richard has been working and Brandon was occupied the first few months due to filming 13RW and then flying back and forth to Miami for family events. This is the first downtime outside of LA for them both and it’s clear that they’re taking advantage of it. I doubt Richard is using a recycle book from what he’s done in the past. Brandon isn’t Ellie and their experiences will be different than whatever he did last year with her.

R69 hahaha I don't mind that theory on Brandon's thirst traps... But I would almost read them as him sending a message to a certain someone that this is what they COULD have

I think Ellie found out about B early Dec and that was it for the amicable breakup. And that was probably when they made it official between them and B stopped flirting. I think he totally knew what he was doing flirting on IG with R seeing it on his feed since I think R is very possessive over B.

R75 Oh my gosh he def was. The day after Richard followed him on Instagram, HE posted that sexy story of him singing to the ASIB Gaga record and smiling into that camera. That smile....that damn smile.

I wonder what Richard’s reaction will be if Taron post a pic of Brandon and captioned “my boy” like he did with his friend?

r75 Well I don't think they were officially dating. More like just fucking and R breaking up with E and having their "amicable" breakup. After that all was over they could start dating for real.

R68 Richard is rich. He takes vacations when he’s not working and he loves to travel. Not sure how this is a relationship pattern. Also, have you not been paying attention? He moved in with Brandon and Brandon is a dude. I find no comparison with Ellie.

Screaming at his “hey Alisha, I’m going to post three shirtless photos of me in a row on instagram...thanks for taking them” on December 4th. HE KNEW THESE WERE GUARANTEED THIRST TRAPS. I fucking love him. He knows how to charm and pull. Aron Piper was attractive too, but def think Madden is more exotic looking.

R74 Couldn’t agree more. Richard loves to travel, and of course he's going to use breaks in his schedule to go away with the person he's dating- then Ellie, now Brandon. Also, R68 Richard’s pattern would be to GO to Glastonbury when it’s on. He only didn’t go last year because it wasn’t on to go to. He broke that pattern this year in favour of Italy with B.

Aron is a boy. Richard is a man. There is no comparison.

I can understand Brandon’s attraction to Aaron he is masculine with a frat boy and fuck boy mentality..even tho he claimed to be straight I still believe he fuck guys in the side but Richard is way more mature and handsome so he wins hands down.

R84 Yeah, I think Brandon would’ve hooked up with Aron if he was in LA, but Richard swooped in at the right time and I’m sure he knew he needed to because Brandon is a catch (as is he).

R84 why can’t aron just be straight? He played a gay guy which doesn’t make him gay. Also, he seems so douchey tbh. I think him and B were more Netflix friends and up and coming stars who supported each other.

R83, R84 hm yeah if you've got Richard Madden sliding into your dms - you're not wasting anymore time on fuck boys

I’m just thankful for timing in general, especially when it comes to Richey and Bflynn. I mean if Netflix never acquired Bodyguard and if it wasn’t a huge hit, then he most likely wouldn’t have been in LA end of last year. Plus, Brandon was literally on vacay and returned to LA basically on October 29th....just think if he spent Halloween weekend somewhere else. I think that is one of the strongest reasons why they’re so...connected and in sync with each other? They felt the immediate spark and realized that they were so close to probably not meeting when they did. It’s insane when you think about it.

R67 God, can you imagine all the sexually suggestive messaging and facetiming that must have gone on between those two?

R86, we thought Richard was straight as well and look what happened..We all know Brandon got some some powers that even straight guys will suddenly question their sexuality...

R89 I could see Brandon being super flirty and friendly cheeky even, but then Richard taking it THERE and saying certain things that made B go “oh shit....where is this coming from” hahahaha.

R86 Thank you. This continued fan fiction about Brandon and Aron is so bizarre. Brandon has straight friends. Not every guy he interacts with means he wants to fuck them. And I'm more than positive that Aron isn't pretending to be straight. All anyone has to do is track his IG activity for more than 5 minutes. I think Aron is an ally and is also supportive of Omar who is the one whose gay.

Lol. I just looked at the Dec 4th thirst traps Brandon posted. Yes, those were for Richard. The timing.... lol

He seem so giddy on his ig stories on December he seemed to have a smirk plastered on his face/ and “ I got a secret “ look about him during that time especially leading up to his trip Scotland for New Year...

R94 Omg his IG story of him in the Uber on 12/28 was priceless...he was like a giddy smug kid. I’m so happy that he found someone worth his time and attention.

R93 "Come and get it baby" - and RM did in fact get it.....over and over and over again.

So they have been out of LA for 2 weeks and 3 days

This wasn’t mentioned earlier, but Brandon liked and commented 🔥🔥🔥🔥 on dylan’s IG photo. Sidenote: I love how close they are + you know Brandon is amazing when the new girlfriend of Dylan gave him a birthday gift (in December) and went hiking with him without Dylan (on May 5th)...like he’s just THAT cool.

R94 got a link? It's not in the timeline.

Oops I meant r95.

Richard also liked this two hours ago (they were both on at the same time) and Brandon liked and commented 💖 on Donatella Versace’s

R100

R102 SMUG AND SO HAPPY.

R93 LOL I can’t believe I never noticed the timing of those pics before. This one, especially.

You can’t tell me that little smirk wasn’t meant for Richard.

R102, yea that’s the ig stories he looks soooo smug , they were texting and dm around this time and prob fuck each other several times as well..and he was also excited to head to Scotland .

Taron talks about feeling Richard’s dick while they were filming Rocketman. Man, I’m envious

Richard said he’s not a karaoke man, but I wonder if that’s changed since being with a guy who sings quite literally all the time lol (and who loves karaoke himself)

R107 I like to imagine their road trips. Brandon goofing off and singing loudly and Richard joining in. I bet they laugh a lot together.

R108 Oh, for sure. Richard is so much more of a goofball even if he doesn’t act like he is lol. I loved seeing him let loose in carpool karaoke with Taron. His voice isn’t even as bad as he thinks it is!

So Richard chose a road trip through Italy over Glastonbury and wedding 🥺

R110 yes. He’s in love.

R111 And I’m in love with them. ❤️

R111 😭😭😭💕

I crave the photos so much but at the same time realise how fortunate we are to even know they’re together lol but 🤞🏻 let’s hope...

Charlie is going to be clingy with his dads when they return home!

R115 I hope those deadbeat dads at least got him a souvenir!

Anyone notice whenever there’s a sighting and someone asked if Brandon is there they don’t want to say anything all or they lie? This happened 5 times already..

R117 Yeah, and I actually appreciate it. People view them as a couple and want their privacy expected.

Protected**

R118 I agree. nobody should be catering to the freaks who would ask such a thing anyway

how do we know they are in Italy together? Besides some random Twitter people...

R121 just that, but i doubt they would lie about it

I’m wondering if there’s a chance Richard might pop over to France for a few hours today to attend the actual wedding and then go back to Italy afterwards

I think they have been traveling all over Europe together not only Italy.

Do you think they've said "I love you to each" other yet? How soon is too soon to do that? My daydream about that is it slipped out by mistake when they were being playful. A silence followed where Richard thought he was such a fool and Brandon said "I love you too."

R123 I feel like he won’t. I don’t think Sophie would take it personally. I’m sure he’ll send a gift to her to make up for it. If he didn’t go to Glasto because of his boy, then I doubt he’ll be at the wedding but that’s just my opinion.

R125 I feel like they have, probably a couple of months ago. I think Richard said it first, just a gut feeling.

They both seem like relationship people. It's clear they're in love. They've definitely said it

For the person I was talking to earlier about the 13 RW premiere, heres the Netflix one for S3 Stranger Things so I’m assuming they’ll def have one for 13 Reasons.

It seems like social media is shipping Taron with Richard even that homophobic Richard Stan ships them.

Oh, that smirk! He knew what was going on.

I feel like if they went completely public with their relationship, DL would explode BUT THEN it would die down rather quickly and many would lose interest.

I’m laughing at the thought of Brandon always talking to strangers in all the random places they go to and Richard in his mind just going “wtf again?”. Brandon is very approachable so people just talk to him but now Richard knows half the time Brandon is the one who strikes up these conversations first.

I know that we already discussed the topic of that shirt, but I still find it kind of crazy that Brandon was wearing it by the end of December, only a couple of weeks after they met and Richard wore it in that interview in November. Could it really be the same one? Is it so popular? I mean, Brandon used to wear Sam's clothes all the time, so it's nothing new. But the timeline is just crazy! It had to be love at first sight! A couple of days later he was already in Scotland.

This is the pub, where the Italian girl met them yesterday.

R133 It’s likely the same one. Yes, the timeline is CRAZY fast. They are basically lesbians.

B probably just stole it. LOL They both were GONE after they met. I imagine they felt the sparks immediately. Look how quickly B made that playlist after they met

Gosh, I love that they’re on an intimate romantic adventure. Whoever said several threads ago that these two probably were going to be in the “fuck everyone else” mode for a while was definitely right. Like ofcourse they love their friends, but they really are in their own space right now and it’s so beautiful to see.

R137 And they live together which makes it extra amazing because they are literally building their life together and strengthening their commitment to each other. *ugly sobbing*

R138 I said several threads ago that they act like a commited couple. They aren't living together while R finds other arrangements/his own flat. R moved in with B for the purpose of being together. They want to spend as much time together as possible. Even their families are involved. I know we sometimes get ahead of ourselves but these guys are clearly trying to go the distance with this relationship.

R139 And Richard is giving it everything because it’s “the happiest he’s ever been”. Let that sink in for a moment. “I’m in a very happy, positive place. I made a big effort to focus on that in the past six months, to really find happiness and pursue it and I’m doing that. Touch wood, it’s working.”

Is it true that Brandon is pregnant? Richard better be putting a ring on it!

R133 This and everything else points to THEM ALREADY FUCKING IN NOV.

Sorry. I felt really Italian for a moment.

I sometimes go back and for to the timeline.

I know most think they got together in Dec (For NYE TO HAVE HAPPENED) But I think they could have possibly hooked up in Nov as well. Don't shoot me BUT

.. IT'S possible they did something while R was still with E.

r143 Very possible. Very likely. In my experience a lot of nice people cheat. Both men and women. They don't cheat because they are scumbags but usually because they are unhappy in their relaionships and then someone comes along they find attractive. Sometimes people sleep together, sometimes people do it all but the sex. And the myth once a cheater always a cheater? It really is a myth. Most people who cheat feel awful about it and don't make a habit out of it. I know of relationships who started by cheating and are still going strong, 10, 20 even 30 years later.

There are still scumbags who seem to cheat for a living and will never stop but they are a small part of those who cheat. Most are just ordinary people who fall into temptation because the relationship they are in isn't making them happy. It can be their own fault but it's usually a combination of reasons from both partners.

So yes I think R&B definitely started before R&E were fully over. I think they had this crazy chemistry and strong emotional connection from the start. Which is also why I think R&E were over in Nov instead of Dec that so many think of because of IG likes. I think the likes were just them being amicable after breakup but once E found out about B that was over.

R144 Do you think they fucked before he went on vacay with ellie?

r143 November makes sense. They likely met properly for the first time on 11/1ish or so. Like a day before they followed each other because that is how it usually goes. Went out with Asia and Michael that week. Brandon is smitten. Who knows maybe they hooked up then but I doubt because Brandon is just way too open with his comments on Richard’s posts immediately after. If they had hooked up, I think he’d be more reserved especially due to girlfriend and closet situation. After that though the DMs/texts are flowing. Richard is back in LA and obviously they hang out and at this point THEY KNOW and maybe they hook up or don’t this time but THEY KNOW. Soonafter, Richard leaves his gf.

I think they properly hooked up in December. Brandon was out of LA the entire last week of the month and Richard was hardly there and was mainly in London and on vacay with ellie. Also I feel like Brandon wouldn’t have been flirting with some other guys if him and Richard were already hooking up in person. But these are just my thoughts!

We assume they met around Halloween and followed each other around then, and that photo of them with Asia was after that right? like a few days after they followed each other? So did they organise going out together or meeting up at some event that Asia and Michael were at or was or just a coincidence they saw each other again?

R148 I feel like they all organized it and Brandon did meet Asia at a dinner two nights before that photo was taken so he probably was eager to see her again. Brandon was out with other friends a two days later in LA when richard was still there promoting like on the Late Late Show, so I feel like they weren’t at all serious then.

r145 I don't know. Maybe just flirted heavily but would B comment with fire emoji on R's IG if they were full on fucking and R on a vacation with his girlfriend? My gut says no because I think B is genuinely nice and while he might have been involved in cheating I think he's too good natured to rub it in someone's face even if E wouldn't know.

So I think there was just heavy flirting and maybe bit of a groping before the beach vacation. I'm not sure about the timeline but I'm sure as soon as R returned to LA after the beach vacation they were full on.

B's IG thirst was real at the end of Nov/early Dec and he was also flirting on IG no doubt making R crazy back in UK. Which is why R definitely made it "official" in Dec, real dating, romantic getaway to Skye and then moving to LA in Jan. He was dickwhipped and loving it.

Hehehehe I love the idea that R&B's friends were probably just watching it all go down in their first initial meetings and being totally taken aback by it and making little jokes with them. I imagine their chemistry was REALLL obvious. I also like imagining that B would have broken the news to people like Alisha and his close friends and them being like "shut the fuck upppp" in disbelief

R150 what IG thirst was going on in December or even late November? Was it thirst though? I feel like B is that super friendly guy and his comments in hindsight may just have been friendly/supportive/excitable.

He was very flirty in his IG stories, very flirty with his comments and then there are the photos from Tahoe.

I agree B is friendly and supportive but the tone of his comments definitely changed early Dec.

R153 oh I misunderstood you post at r150. You meant his thirst traps and I thought you meant thirsty comments to guys. I agree with you.

So what was the story with this Aaron guy. I saw the likes on IG, but how did the whole thing start and how long did it last? Did they ever meet in person?

Sometimes I forget what a fucking hunk B is because I’m so focused on his personality and other adorable things about him. But he’s also this sexy beast.

I don't think they ever met even though Aron still likes all of B's posts. I was hoping for a photo of them together at the Versace show since they were both their but no. Which I found odd.

I think it started maybe in Sept? Some time after the breakup with Sam and lasted until Dec. When R put a stop to it. LOL

I don't quite remember, I wasn't following B that closely after the breakup except seeing he was still liking Sam's IG posts.

R155 Not sure there was a thing beyond likes and comments. B likes and comments although he’s been less active lately.

Someone called me?

Sexy beast, that's me!

R160 UGHhh those clear glasses do things to me

How lovely that little pub is in lecce!

R157 Was Aron really in Milan? There are no pics from the show on his IG, just that one story.

It’s been said that the holiday with Ellie was a make or break one as they’d been fighting almost constantly prior to it.

I like to think that in those photos of Richard on his own on the beach on his phone, he’s FaceTiming Brandon whilst Ellie cries into her cocktails at the bar!!

R34 "There was a fan he met last May in Barcelona while with Sam and she was showing them her art that she created, and he was like SO TOUCHED and softly said “wow did you do this? It’s so beautiful...”" Here is the vid.

R165 gawwwwd what a sweetie

I know I've said it before but R really couldn't have picked a better guy to have his first official same sex relationship.

R164 Could you link photos of him on the beach? I only see pins from 2017.

Can't see the clip in R160. :(

R169 Go to the settings and switch off 'link previews'.

We know.

R171 I just can't...this is one crazy love story!

R129 This is true. There’s even fanfic about them...

To be fair GoT is such a huge hit globally that the odds of Richard or any other GoT star dating a fan of the show is naturally high.

R173 I’m scared.

I find these fan fictions deeply disturbing.

R173 Oh god, these must be the same fanatics who think the Call Me By Your Name guys are a real couple...

Off topic but who is Taron's girlfriend? And are they still together?

R157 R163 Aron was never pictured there and I don’t think he actually was. He just reposted a Versace IG Post from the fashion show and that’s it.

R174 Yeah, very true but Brandon was a SUPER fan. The type to quote the show constantly and freaking throw dinner parties every Sunday.

R173 I don’t think those people actually believe that they’re dating or would have anything. I see many Rocketman fans in general just ship their friendship, but in reality they know Taron is straight and that Richard is with someone right now.

R165 Awww yay I was the original person who mentioned this. Thanks for linking it for everyone to see. He just seems so genuine and soft. I bet he used that same exact tone with the Italian fan yesterday to ask her to write down the name of her museum. I have a feeling that even if they don’t show up, he’ll probably visit it the next times he’s there. Brandon just seems like one of those stars who is the same person publicly and privately. I’m glad that Richard has him and that B has someone as lovely and lighthearted as he is. A perfect match!

Brandon liked two photos one hour ago!

R128 Ah, good stuff, thank you! I know Stranger Things is a bigger hit than 13 but hopefully this does mean we can look forward to one for them too! I wanna see B all tanned and happy from his international boyfriends tour on that red carpet (though god, at the rate Netflix are taking to release it the tan might be gone by that point 🤦‍♀️)

R178 Her name is Emily Thomas. They’ve been off and on for over two years.

B just followed interview magazine and that writer that Richard followed the other day

R185 weird you’d think she’d be with him at Glasto but in his new (very adorable) ig stories this morning on the chopper he appears to be without her. Maybe they broke up again

R168 I’m such a technophobe it’s unreal, I’m sure someone better on here can! They were the ones that I think the Daily Fail used with the headline “passionate” holiday and Richard looked like he’d rather be anywhere else!!!

R186 Brandon followed his private account a couple of weeks ago (and he followed him back or was already following Brandon).

R188 I think that might have been a different holiday? Those pics you're thinking of were from summer 2017. The make-or-break holiday was November 2018. I'm not sure there are any pap photos of that holiday at all, actually.

R190 oops my bad I just remember he did not look like he wanted to be there, and the weird headline they used!!

Ah well still pretty pics of Richard in his shorts!

r185 & r187 Yes I was wondering. I have followed him since he came on IG and I've never seen any reference to her at all, not even in his candid stories. And in Michael's helicopter story he tagged Taron, Gemma, Dominic and then some girl who for weird reason tagged her own story in Odense Denmark instead of Glastonbury. So I was wondering if that was her or a new one.

I also just saw Taron's comment under Luke Evans post. He really does like attention from the gays. In some ways he reminds me of a friend of mine who has absolutely no hangups about sexuality, was apparently notorious pussyhound before I met him and before he met his wife and to my knowledge he's never cheated on. However he loves to go out to gay bars with me and bask in all the attention he gets. I was very worried the first time I took him but he was in seventh heaven, told me 4 hot guys had hit on him and he felt totally hot and validated. Then went home and banged the shit out of his wife. His words not mine.

Yea I think both followed the author Andrew O’Hagan who wrote a book called personality about fictional story about fame maybe he will write a fictional book base on their relationship?

R194 Andrew's a really close longtime friend of Richard's. I'd say they just followed in support.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I think it’s the same woman. Very interesting....

It is. Very interesting.

R196 anyone linked to Cruise romantically (and not saying anything about it for a week) makes me raise my eyebrows pointedly... But I honestly don't care about Taron enough to wanna get invested in guessing what's going on there.

As for the Richard/Taron fanfic, I'm sure none of those writing the fics think R & T are an actual couple. It's just a bit of fantasy, along the lines of, 'if they did hook up following filming Rocketman together, what would that look like? I bet it'd be hot' and then they write on what came to mind. I actually am glad that there are people (especially straight women) lusting over the idea of two gorgeous men together, including straight men (to their knowledge) because it proves the RL sexuality of an actor doesn't matter to his fans' ability to enjoy fantasies about him, meaning it doesn't take away from his "bankability", and that sometimes to know a hot guy is gay/bi and has a hot bf can actually fuel some fantasies, so that actually could make him more bankable. I'm not necessarily talking about older straight women, but the younger generation growing up? Hell yeah. Now if only studio execs got a clue...

taron aint in the same league as Richard/brandon, theyr at the top of the flesh pile...

r199 I hadn't thought of it that way. I just find fan fiction overall, no matter if it's gay or straight, disturbing. Writing about real life people instead of just making up stories.

I defs think Taron is mostly straight but as someone upthread said, he really loves attention from other men. He seems very sincere in his support for lgbtq so he’s a good guy in my book.

Please gather around and do a prayer circle for some Italian lady to deliver pics today.

Well, there was some Taron/Richard shippers who didn’t like the idea of Brandon and Richard together when The NY Times article came out, they were the first one telling folks that it’s important not to talk about them because of privacy,the notorious Richard Stan was also a fan of them ..but some did come around and are now fans of B and R and I find that nice..

R203 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

yes, more pix !!!! god they mus be fetching a lot now from paparazzi ,,,theyr hot as shit

I just need a pic of them together so all those who believe it’s PR for Rocketman can now shut the fuck up!

R193 lol it must be flattering, all the attention..

No updates today?

R173 I’m actually surprised there are no fanfics about B&R

I’ve read some fanfic and it’s mostly the characters the “writers” are taking. Like Robb Stark, David Budd, etc. Different storylines, rewriting scenes they didn’t like...To me, that’s fine. It’s no different than the actual show writers except most suck and they aren’t getting paid. It’s harmless. The creepy ones are the ones based on the actual actors. I’ve read one or two of those just to see, but had to stop. Too weird and most were horribly written and over the top lol. I think Taron gave an interview once and mentioned this as one of the reasons he avoided SM for so long. Something about reading a fictional story about himself where the author put him in high school? How strange that must be!

R207 That’s not going to shut them up

R207 Nobody sane believes that PR stuff. It’s just people in deep denial grasping.

r209 I'm good. The confirmation on their romantic Italian villa stay satisfied me.

R213 Lol the PR theory always cracks me up because yes RM would go to such extreme lengths to promote a film he's a) not the actually the star of, b) has almost as much screen time as Bryce Dallas Howard playing Elton's mother - not that much, and c) not getting any awards out of - unless it's for best ensemble

I still think they should have gone for a day or 2 to Glastonbury I would rather hang out ,bond and laugh with my close circle of friends, camp in a tent overlooking the stars and having the best time with my boyfriend but that’s just me..

R216 yes it is just you.... he’s literally with him in a beautiful area of Italy that’s rich with culture, amazing food, privacy, and history... but yeah I’m sure a big farm in England is much more desirable.

R216 These are his celeb friends. Not sure it’s a close circle of friends. It’s also an experience he’s had before and repeatedly. I like the Lecce romantic trip better especially since it’s the start of the relationship but that’s just me. They can do Glasto next year.

R216 true but most good and true friends will appreciate that they’re in the honeymoon stages of their relationship and accept that there’ll always be another Glastonbury, they’ll just be happy for them both, plus it’s not like he’s not done it before.

I’d like to think they’re so happy for him that they know him blowing Glasto off to be with Brandon means it’s the real deal not just some casual dalliance to pass the time.

R217 it’s a lovely farm and place to be fair, it’s just a shame that the 135,000 other people make it a tad crowded and hard to maintain privacy!!!

r218 Gemma, Douglas, and Taron all crossover into close real life friends, too. But that also means he can see them whenever he wants and is not hinging onto Glastonbury to hang out with them and Brandon.

R220 I didn’t meant to imply it’s not nice or fun, but there’s just really no comparison haha and I mean, Richard obviously felt the same way since he chose the romantic trip to Italy

He's been to Glastonbury before - I've been twice myself. It's a great experience but not unmissable if it's on repeat. There are other festivals going on they/he could attend at other times. He wanted to spend personal time with B. He'd know that they would not get the privacy at Glastonbury - they'd be 100% papped and become a story

There is always 2021

Plus you can't fuck quietly in a tent.

R224 True that. I'm still pissed at the couple that kept me up half the night before a big trail race a couple weeks ago. Their tent couldn't have been more than 5 feet away from mine. Rude!

R224 no but it’s so much fun to be at camps where people think that’s the case, suddenly a 5mm canvas sheet becomes a wall in their book. Nothing like a gathering crowd to give a round of applause when they finally emerge from their tents looking “shocked” at all the fuss!!!

Lol doubt they’d be in a tent regardless but still. Italy wins this time!

R214 villa stay ? is it imagination or we know they stay at villa lol

Let them really establish their relationship by spending as much time as they can together rather than doing the events rounds.

True, I just think it would have been a great expirence for Brandon who is a huge music fan and bonding with Richard’s friends and I imagine Richard’s arms around Brandon’s waist wrapped in a blanket both drunk as a skunk and watching The sun rising while the last set of performance played near by..

R211 you're taking me down memory lane. When I was a wee little gayling and the internet itself was still young (at least in my country), I came across fan fiction for the first time and I thought it was fine for fictional characters, but yeah, I stayed away from the real actors fiction. Later on, I found (a) some gay erotica sites with celebrities sections and realized... it's kinda the same, only the fan fiction stuff was better written (b) some stuff that REALLY disturbed me and it had nothing to do with celebs (c) some fan fiction about real actors that was REALLY well written and worth the read beyond the fun, sexy scenes and which also kinda made me realize that even these stories aren't about the actors, they're about a fictionalized version of the actors that allows the writers to tell the stories they need to. I haven't read this type of story in quite a while, but still. I learned not to judge where it's not needed, because no one's getting hurt (actors for the most part are now aware that this shit happens and they get used to the idea it's a part of the business and hopefully they also learn not to look at any of the fan fiction written about "them". If they don't, well. Must mean they're enjoying it to some degree, so all the best to them).

R230 They are not quite at that stage yet. If they went this time, it would likely not include any of that. It’s just too early and some of that openness will take time.

R215 I haven’t seen Rocketman yet, so to hear that is disappointing. He doesn’t have that much screen time?

R233 Richard's role isn't huge, but he is one of the main supporting characters. And the movie overall is far from a disappointment, I promise you that.

worst movie of year

R233 I think he’s in a decent amount.. I never felt that I was aching for more. I think his character had just enough time. Taron is so great that I didn’t really care who else was onscreen and I adore Richard lol

R235 not even close but ok

god brandon is a hottie, kudos to whomever can land that sucker

I enjoyed Rocketman very much. Taron did a wonderful job, as did Jamie and Richard.

I'd grade it somewhere between a B+ and and A-.

R233, It looks like he doesnt have much screen time in 1917 as well..I hope the Eternals change that but it’s an ensemble cast.. he does have a brilliant publicist who hyped him up..I still wonder if Michael is part of it ..he’s everywhere with Richard when it’s work related...

R216 lol me too. plus Brandon missed Coachella this year, and I know he’s a big fan of festivals .... I think it’s fun doing festivals with your SO

I really want Brandon to land a huge movie role so he gets the praise he deserves

R235 I’d say it could be shorter..a very sad movie indeed. I’m not a fan of Elton, so 3.5/5

I think it would be hard to land a big role as he came out early in his career Hollywood is still very much homophobic. Brandon mentioned in the Variety article that he’s only been offered gay roles left and right and I think that’s sad...

R244 he didn’t say that. He mentioned it in relation to the question about playing a gay character.

His one big role so far has been a very straight character..

Pic of B and R in Italy!

brandon will someday be a bigger star than rich or taron.

Omg, finally

R247 Oh shit, is there more?

Pic of them! They look so relaxed!

Oh wow. Brandon looks gorgeous.

They’re in LOVE

I’m not 100% because the pic is so LQ but I think Richard’s foot is resting on Brandon’s :) they cute

Finally...

This might mean there will be pap pics.

Yay for pics I just wish we could see more of Richard and not that other person's head lol

Local time: Saturday 4:21 PM

R256 I don’t think so, I think a fan just got a sneaky one

I think it's from last night, they look like they are on their own little bubble! Looking at each other in the eyes, so romantic.

Translations from the article (sorry Google translate)...

[quote]Brandon Flynn and Richard Madden are getting more and more close-knit and even though they never declared being together, they don't even do anything to deny it.

[quote]These days some of my readers have seen them in Puglia, more precisely in Lecce, where they behave like two new sweethearts to discover Italy.

[quote]Unfortunately - stop for a selfie with the fans - they denied themselves.

[quote]A few weeks ago Richard Madden interviewed by the New York Times said he did not want to talk about rumors about his alleged history with Brandon Flynn.

[quote]The same question now Variety has made to the actor of 13, who, however, threw himself against the media and the different treatment they would have for gay and straight actors.

^this writer is one of us. Lol.

I wonder if the DM or JJ are going to write something about them and their little gateway in Italy now that there is a pic...

Fuck me, finally!!

Wow. The sneaky little shit.

Aw how cute. They did manage to hide for over a week though. Well done but now you've been found out and you can now start posting IG stories and posts.

Maybe it's only me but every time I see a photo of them together I think: Oh my god it's really true. And I get all giddy and happy.

Thank you to that person for following their asshole instincts to just sneak a damn picture. I, a fellow asshole, thank you for your service.

Where’s the idiotic break up troll? Take that!!!

Legend. Handled those thirst tweets like a pro.

Damn it didn't take long for that pic to make it's way over to Tumblr in the Brandon and Richard Tags

This is likely the most coupley pick we'll get. And I'm not even mad. I'll take the crumb.

I guess they really do let their guard down in Italy. When they were in Milan wasn't it reported that they were inseparable on the streets. They look so sweet together. I don't care that I have to squint because of the quality

Im more partial to the Fan Theories his laughter in this video its just adorable :)

r269 Paying this much attention to the trolls makes them fat and happy.

That’s what I’m talking about! Italians coming through! It looks like R is wearing the Armani sneakers from the show?I wonder where the photo came from? I didn’t notice the Italian article credit a source.

And B just posted a story R266 a repost from interview magazine. Link below.

R275 probably someone submitted it to them and didn’t want to be credited hence why it wasn’t posted online before this

Is this another sighting? The twitter translator isn't doing too well with it 😆 But I think it might be?

I love them. I’m crying!!! Fuuckkkk. Our babies

r275 Aw.

R277 No, she is just saying that they saw them together yesterday, but I think she's talking about that girl at the bar!

R280 Oh, ok, thank you!

Finally! Seeing them together makes me totally happy.

Arrg!! As much as I love this I can’t believe someone sneakily took a pic of them and sold it to the press ?? I’m glad we don’t see the face of Richard’s I mean they both are paranoid enough as it is....in certain Justjared who for some reason isnobsessed with them will post this and thn the daily fail will follow with a very dramatic headline ..at least they had a few weeks with no paps together....

Damn, I wish I could see Richard better in that pic, but Brandon looks blissful. They've had a good week.

I’m glad they had quiet time where they were not found. So good for them.

Brandon has been online throughout the day. I’m still wondering if Richard might go to the wedding quickly and then go back to Italy. It wouldn’t take more than a few hours.

r286 We'll know soon. Fans and paps are all over the venue.

R286 I was wondering about that myself!

This is the first pic we seen of them not walking and not standing ....wow!

Look how they have their arms up, mirroring each other's body language!

Gah, why am I such a sap for these two??? It's embarrassing, but I can't help myself.

Yo even in this breadcrumb, not fantastic quality of a picture - they look like such a damn couple.. I'm living for this lmao

R290 I’m a mess right now. Hold me

R290 Imagine what they're like behind closed doors. They're probably very touchy Feely. They clearly look like a couple staring deeply into their eyes

Omg someone really sold a pic to paps ?

There’s a difference between paps and media. Paps take photos.

R294 or this site stole it from a social media account and didn’t credit them

Brandon looks like he should have mini cartoon birds with heart eyes circling around his head. Love the way an Italian getaway with his man looks on him.

R296 I want to believe the second part lol

I have a feeling there is more pics from this set...a fan couldn’t sell it to the press unless there is evidence/pics of Richard so I think there are more and they might be a bit intimate he/she prob sold those to the other tabloids with the highest bidder and will get the exclusive pics ....we have to wait and see...

If they took it from social media, I can't find it. I've looked on twitter, Instagram... checked all their tags and mentions, and every random Italian post mentioning Richard 😆 Can't see it anywhere.

Dude you’re paranoid af

I wonder if those pics were taken not today but like yesterday or 2 days ago cause it takes time to write an article and post isn’t it ?

R300 yeah I mean I couldn’t either but.. who knows. It’s also possible the person just submitted it to them but maybe that’s too naive of me

They clearly posted it on their own social media, because of the filter

R299 You would think so.

I mean, not that I'm encouraging* that behavior, but since the person obviously doesn't have an issue with photographing them in a private moment, how hard would it have been to slide over a few feet and surreptitiously snap from a better angle?

*I say I don't encourage that behavior, but I'm also not going to close my eyes and refuse to look when the photos come out. :P

R254 I like to think you’re correct but it could also just be the angle!!

I’m going with the footsie though - they’re just too goddamned cute

R299, I bet you’re right on the count of there being more pics where it’s apparent that it’s Richard with him. Not sure pics of Brandon looking adoringly at somebody concealed by a normie’s hair would be marketable.

R304 so maybe it was the person who wrote the article who took the pic then

R301 What, me? No, I don't mean just in the last 5 minutes. I mean over the last couple days, I've been keeping an eye on things. I haven't seen this picture crop up anywhere before this article.

Yall prayed for some italian fan to snap them and got it 😂😂😂

R309 of course not you! Lol

The person droning on and on all day long here and now being crazy about somebody selling the pics to tabloids

R308 Could be true ! since they work at celeb press

We need to dedicate the next thread to thirsty Italian stans coming through with capslock sightings and an actual pic

they are the liz and dick of our generation, their pics garner 5 grande apiece. NICE

R313 LOL Italiens are the best

I am 90% certain there are more pics and we just have to wait and see who has the exclusives....

I don't think they sold that pic, that site is a gossip blog, I think they just sent it to them because they didn't want to post it in their personal account.

If anyone wants a brightened version of the pic .. still LQ though.

Is it originally from this site?

Obviously, no interest in Glasto and the hubbub of crowds and friends. Very romantic.

Justjared posted a fan pic of Lee Pace and Richard Armitage sitting on a bench in Central Park so I wouldn’t be surprise if he posted this but I have a feeling there’s more ..and maybe jj,the sun or DM has the exclusives...

R319 yup hence the big ugly logo on it

I want to see Richard's heart eyes! R319 Yes!

If Richard did indeed head to France for a few hours for the wedding (I hope we see pics if he did!) I wonder if maybe Brandon will go to that museum the girl works at...

I think there are more pics. Or at least paps will be on the look out.

R325 Honestly they’re most likely leaving soon if I had to guess. It’s been over a week. And I think Brandon will head back to LA to get Charlie and then maybe go to Miami early this coming week anyway. I’m crossing my fingers for Richard to join him!

Yup. I'm thinking they're leaving soon.

Brandon looks tanned, I wish we could get pics of them on the beach in their swim trunks

r326 I don't think he'd go get Charlie. He'll just wait until he's back in LA.

Richard has his honorary degree thing on Thursday, if he’s going. Maybe B will go to Miami and then they’ll head back to LA together. Unless of course B goes to Scotland too.

R329 he’s flown with him before, don’t see why he wouldn’t. I guess it depends on when he goes.

I don’t think Brandon would stay in Miami only on the 4th lol.. I’m sure he’d stay for a few days at least

I think Brandon will head to NYC pride soon.

He didn't take Charlie on past trips to Miami so I don't see why this would be different. Flying can be traumatizing to dogs and Brandon doesn't do it often.

ewww just jared is disgustnng

If B does not go to Miami for the fourth I will be SHOOK.

How do we know that SonBrillo is the place they were spotted at the other night?

R337 The girl from last night said that’s where she saw them. Idk about the night before that. Probably was a different pub.

R333 I would loveeee to see Brandon turn up at NYC pride tomorrow - posting on IG looking looking all cute and refreshed after getting dicked down ALL over Europe everyday for the past 2+ weeks... show your pride, baby!!

Why is Just Jared disgusting? It appears to be one of the nicest gossip sites, with no snark and flattering pictures of celebs.

Finally a new pic

That pic sneaky of them is creep city but... I’m still looking at it and zooming the fuck in as if I can see anything other than Brandon’s blurry features and Richard’s hand.

They’re such a hot couple.

prob brandon and some fag haggy....yay

Brandon looks like he has a fuzzy little bit of beard growth. All the better for nuzzling.

You can see the side of R's face and his black pants he always wears

R318 Thank youuuu!! Seeing that version only makes me realise even more how terrible the other one is and how much I wasn’t seeing 😆

Seriously, I’m HOWLING at the fact that we’re all dying over this pic, and yet it’s basically the second-worst one we’ve got so far?! The Wallows album release party pic was definitely the worst, but between the quality and the fact that you can hardly make out Richard in this one it probably has to be second worst. And yet I still feel like it’s a Christmas present in June or something 😁

R346 wait there’s a pic from the wallows party?? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. Anyone have a link?

Richard man-spreading like a boss in that pic does weird things to me.

I did not realize we had wallows pic evidence

I’m trying to find that Wallows pic. Be warned: the camera had a blob of Vaseline on the lens it’s that bad.

I love that even as a heroin addict in 13rw, Brandon still looks gorgeous. They can’t make him look bad.. impossible

There must be some clever person out there who can remove that god awful logo from the pic!!

Here is the original Wallows party pic, for anyone interested. It's the second pic over in the bunch. It's not even really a picture OF them, it was legit other people taking a picture with a member of the band (I think he's a member, anyway) but you can see R&B in the background talking to Dylan Minette's (Brandon's 13RW co-star and friend) girlfriend. Eagle-eyed fans saw the pic and, upon seeing tweets about them being there (and a couple of pics of B posing with fans at the party) realised it was them in the background.

R353 omg thank you!! I love that you can see a sliver of Richard but you can tell it’s him lol.. Brandon looks so cute

R353 I saw a zoomed one with just them. Didn’t realize they were just background

Wallows pic brightened

R354 No problem :)

R355 Yeah, I know the zoomed one you're thinking of. I think the "branchard" account (or whatever it was called back then) on Instagram might have cropped that version of them? But anyway, yeah, this pic is where that one came from originally.

R356 Thank you!

Omg a pic??!! 🙏🙏🙌🙌🔥🔥

theyr keeping the cum from each other in their holes by plugging them now, they love absorbing the sperms all day, till they can go home and suk it out, kiss and re load the anus again...even at the cafes theyr full of white love for each other o yes.

I found another pic of them from the wallows party. Again they're just in the background but At least you can see R's face and that's B hugging a fan. I found it on youtube from one of the fan vlogs. There's a couple of cute pics of B from the same video.

https://imgur.com/a/fACTvXv

THEY ARE SO CUTE!! Brandon looks so into them and I know it’s a LQ picture, but their legs look so close and tucked next to each other. The body language is sooooo relaxed. Fuck, they’re in love and I’m crying.

R317 I agree with you!! I think a fan just anonymously submitted it to this gossip website and I doubt any more photos will surface unless others took some and now feel confident posting.

R360 can you link that?

I also assume that this photo was taken today because the girl yesterday said Brandon had dark blue stripes on his white shirt - she said she could’ve been mistaken but unless she was stroking out there’s no way she could’ve missed that he was in a plain white tee hahaha

R360 Ooh, thank you!! I'd only ever seen the one pic.

Is that the jacket R is wearing in the neck grabbing photos.

R362 It could have been from the first night when the other girl saw them though. Even though she lied about Brandon not being there

R364 Yeah, I think so. Bless him, he really just does wear the same stuff over and over again 😆

R361 https://youtu.be/DLkpm-5kea4

It can't be from today, it was taken at night, maybe it's from the other day when that girl saw Richard, obvious she didn't want to say he was with Brandon

Even though I'm a greedy bitch I like that Fans are being protective over them. There's been a couple of fans who have lied about not knowing B was with R. I think they're trying to protect them. Not trying to deny they're a couple.

R368 It’s not necessarily taken in the evening though. You can see daylight through the window next to them.

Here’s the actual link. It’s just a video of still pics B is in a few and the one at r360 is at around thirty seconds left.

R369 Yeah, honestly it’s refreshing and should be expected because everyone deserves privacy. There were a couple of people who noticed them at brunch in WeHo in March and they didn’t care to post about it until after photos surfaced. I love that people view them as a couple and give them their space.

R367 R371 Oh wow I came across this on YouTube a couple of weeks back (I fell into a Wallows hole after completing 13RW) but didn’t care to watch it. Thanks guys!!

^^ and I mean after photos surfaced from the weed day

R370 They are outside and the light from the window is from the bar inside, I think it's artificial light!

Is it just me or is brandon’s boot resting on richard’s shoe? (Also I hate those shoes so I hope he stops wearing them lollll)

Here are the pics of the fan with brandon from the wallows video. He’s such a cutie and so sweet the way he smiles at her. I love that he still had one of his earrings in then too. I miss them!

It may be, but that stupid red line goes right through it, so I can’t tell. I kind of think his foot might just be right next to Richard’s but because it’s so LQ and they’re both wearing black shoes, it’s hard to see.

These two are still a thing?? Jeez Flynn's ass must be tight

R374 have to disagree with you. That looks like inside. You can even see a little circular drain on the floor.

The way he's looking at the Fan so cute. I'm sure he made her day

That Alisha Boe selfie on the video, isn't R in the background? When was this?

One of the fans at the Wallows release party said she ran up to him and said he was cute and he just gave her the “cutest smile”. Richard probably was thinking “damn right he is...and he’s mine, but you guys don’t know it yet”.

R381 March 21st in LA. Wallows release party!

R381 yes. March 21.

I didn't realize the Wallows release party was at a skating rink. That's kinda cool.

I've heard so many lamenting over lack of photos but when we finally get one we complain about their lack of privacy. Make up your mind please. I love it and I don't think they're all that bothered because they know going out in public means fans and possible fan photos. I'm sure they'd like to be free of it but they're smart and they know their photos are sought after.

Wow, I can’t believe we got this photo (which miraculously hasn’t spread to IG yet). I definitely think that they were isolated in a villa the past week and ventured out into the city the past couple of days like some of you guys said yesterday. They were dead on instagram activity and not spotted anywhere so they probably were just having sex and connecting body and soul for a good few days. And I’m still not over Richard skipping GLASTO for this....like his friends probably gave him a good natured ribbing ESPECIALLY Taron lolol. They both seem so in love and I hope this extends past their honeymoon phase. They just seem to make sense.

R386 I feel like no one here is complaining about lack of privacy at the moment? Do you mean fans on twitter and tumblr saying that stuff?

R387 it was posted onto a least one ig fan account for them. But glad it wasn’t more.

Oh you KNOW Taron was teasing him sooo bad about it. Their banter is hilarious but yeah, I’m sure he is thrilled for Richard.

Some here as well. Not sure if they're trolls or not.

R387 The idea of them holed up together somewhere engaging in marathon sex sessions is simply too delicious.

Who the fuck here is complaining about them not having privacy? R386 All that's been said is that I'm glad they've been able to have some quiet time and fans have mostly respect for them

R391 OK but the fact that we were all speculating and “joking” that they were somewhere secluded not getting outta bed for the last week and then come to find out... that’s really literally actually what they were doing is mind-boggling hahah

R391 Just imagine the passion...especially like in context of Richard turning down Glasto to escape to somewhere lowkey with his boyfriend (and you just know Brandon encourages him to go I’m sure even if that meant he couldn’t, but Richard obviously said NOPE)...like to be a FLY on the wall. Richard saying unspeakable unholy things in his accent....WHEW how is Brandon still alive

Anything is possible with these two. Let's see where they go next.

I am THIS close to booking a trip to Italy. Those fuckers are making me jealous.

But do you all realize that this is how they have been for the entire year? Every time they are not working, they spend time together like this. We are now 6+ months into this type of focused obsession with each other. I love them and wish them so much love!

r391 Only when it started to chafe did we get to see them. That villa must have been on fire. They look like they were alone, not even managing to shave and you just know every inch of that villa was put to good use.

r392 Chill.

R397 thank you for saying this! I see a lot of people talking about how new this is and honeymoon phase and all that and yeah 6-7 months isn’t super long but it’s not really honeymoon either. I think they’re just really really obsessed with each other

The sign of a strong couple is when they can keep each other’s attention by themselves without distractions or other friends/family around them, and these two show that alllll the time. Brandon has been without Charlie for over two weeks and him and Richard only were separated for that 5 day period while he was doing 1917...the rest of that time, they’ve been isolated or around a couple of good friends/richard’s parents but that’s still wild that they obviously haven’t got sick of each other after soooooo many days just living in each other’s space (and they freaking LIVE with each other like wtf).

I know things can change in the blink of an eye, but I hope they’ve both learned a lot from their most recent relationships and try to go the distance to make it work (and it seems like they totally are). This foundation will be important for them when/if the going gets tough and the distance becomes annoying. I’m happy that they seem to take their alone time seriously. I wonder what they talk about...they’re both so intelligent and passionate about what they do, so I’m sure conversation is limitless. And gosh, their Marlboro addiction probably adds to their hot sex. Nicotine and passion = mind blowing sexual experience.

The "honeymoon phase" that most people refer to usually lasts about a year, but given that these two already apparently live together and they're still this obsessed with each other suggests that it's a serious and deep relationship.

R401 im sure they've learned. Also we don't know if they've felt like this in their previous relationship. I'm sure they've had deep discussions about making this work.

R400 Now that you mention it, it finally dawned on me what is so significant about that photo: Richard put the cellphone away! lololol They're just sitting there staring into each other's eyes. And now I'm wondering what they're talking about.

The living together thing makes takes this to a whole new level. Like Richard moved in after 2 months. And they still can’t stand being apart. London to Boston via LA is a sensible route to these two fuckers. lol

R404 Richard is asking if spreading his legs to the max will cool the chafing and Brandon isn’t sure but suggests he try it anyway.

r404 I just hope R's not wearing his god damn sunglasses. I can't see it on the photo.

R407 hahaha I don’t think he is there actually but the girl who saw them last night said he was. I don’t think this photo is from last night.

This must be the most gay sex Richard has had and he’s probably in heaven. His friends Daniel and Jeremy were probably like “we tried to tell you...”.

R407 it looked like he had them on from the blurry side, but I obviously can’t tell. I would not be surprised either way since they are a part of his uniform lol

I would KILL to hear their conversations. Imagine being the redhead sitting behind Brandon in the photo. Just imagine being that close and being able to listen to them!!! She probably doesn’t even give a shit lol

R407 there’s a dark spot right at his eye area but it could be the lady’s hair. You know that fucker is though. Especially if they’re outside like some suggested above.

They’re not outside though. But anyway the dark spot seems to be a shadow from the window. His eye level is a bit above that.

[quote] This must be the most gay sex Richard has had and he’s probably in heaven. His friends Daniel and Jeremy were probably like “we tried to tell you...”.

LMAO

Do you think they’ve been using that June calendar sex position guide that Brandon liked a photo of a few weeks ago?

R414 I wouldn’t put anything past them at this point. Richard seems like a sex addict and Brandon moves like a freak in the sheets.

They are outside guys, on the right, there is a green window that it's very typical in Italy so

I feel like if these two last, we will get another blurry photo of them like a year from now where they’re hugging at some festival surrounded by their friends. By then the novelty would have worn off, and nobody would care cause everyone knows they’re “roommates”.

R416 lol yes it’s the inside of the green window shutters lol

R417 we will likely get more sightings and no denial or confirmation until it just becomes blatantly undeniable. So same thing as now.

R418 give it a rest, those shutters are clearly opening to the outside where R & B are.

Maddynn R416 are you from Italy?

R376 damn awesome pictures! Can you maybe screencap the frame with Richard as well and add them to the pictures you've posted? I can't do screen shots myself or I would do it...

Another random question, has Jeremy Langmead ever posted a picture of his hubby?

Damn, apologies R418, didn't mean for that to sound aggressive and I apologize if it did...

My heart just wants to cry when I think of like how badly Richard wanted him and this. Like invite to Scotland, wanting to live with him SUPER early on, gifting him that compass necklace from Pyrrah....he really REALLY wanted to show Brandon early that he was serious about them. To think that he could’ve easily kept dating Ellie/whichever woman despite fawning over Brandon...he chose the path to happiness and I’m just sooooooo happy for him. He really went the extra mile to make this happen.

I'm starting to think those sunglasses are R's safety piece.

And Jeremy's husband was probably in his last IG story. He's hot.

R421 Yes you did sound aggressive and I wasn’t going to take the other screenshot because of that (because hey! that’s me too!) but thanks for the apology. I still don’t think they’re outside but I really don’t give a shit anymore. It doesn’t matter. I went through google street view to see if I could find that outside and couldn’t find anything with those windows/shutters.

idk what you mean by add the screenshot to the ones I’ve already posted. Someone else had posted the screenshot further upthread I think.

R420 I had to go back to December 2017 to find one. Both men’s IGs are beautiful though, English countryside, fashion, flowers, dogs, etc. Jeremy has a few pics of Richard too.

R424 yeah it's one of those things where you write something in a foreign language and you don't realize how it might sound until you read it back and then it's like... damn. That was not what I meant to come across. So thanks for accepting my apology. I really think it is outside mainly based on the little sewer opening (not used to see one of those inside next to a table of people dining) and the shutters that look like they're opening to the outside (that's the type that I know from visits to Italy and Greece), where R & B are.

Oh I didn't realize that was you at R376 too. Thank you for the screencaps! I meant I didn't see a link to a screencap specifically of when you see R's face while B is hugging that fan... Did I miss one? I thought it would be nice to have in addition to the ones of B with the fan.

R425 wow that far back? Thanks for telling me and I'll try to have a look...

R422 Yeah, that quote from awhile back about RM "working on his personal happiness" ... I think had a lot to do with RM taking the big step to pursue a same sex relationship that he knew was bound to go public at some point. It's a big risk for him career-wise and in the end he must have decided love was worth it.

And before someone accuses me of being a mind reader, this is just an educated guess.

R426 It’s posted at r360, but you can’t click it. I tried to copy and paste, but it’s not working now. It was a pic from the party and you could barely make out R since his head was cut off.

I’ve actually seen those drains inside and shutters opening inside like that in Italy as well. Italian buildings are sometimes a mishmash; built however without thought. I was in the north though and they are in the south, but it seems to me that they are inside. Also their table seems to be in front of a big window or door with trees outside?

R428 thanks! Yeah that’s what I said earlier...The little circular drain on the floor is very common inside bars. And I agree it looks like a tree outside the window. But it’s really not a big deal.

I think they are inside a restaurant not outside because you can see trees and sunlight outside.

Woah really good find of a second pic of RM with Brandon at that Wallows party. It's lowkey cute how they have both seemed make efforts to get to know each other's friends? Although I still imagine when Brandon asked him to come to the party, RM was like "I'm sorry love, but what is this band again?"

[quote] I'm sorry love, but what is this band again?"

LOL I know their ages aren't too far apart but this made me laugh. Like R is an old man and doesn't know what the kids are listening to these days

After hearing approx 30 seconds of "The Wallows" I am officially an "old man". I trust R to have better taste in music (re his love of "crap pop music") than B (yes, his 'Richard' playlist is mostly trash).

R431 HAHAHAHA I meanted this a few threads back that Richard really loves him because I’m sure he wouldn’t have attended this Wallows thing had it not been for Brandon. It’s so adorable that they went together though. I’m sure B’s closest friends/costars already knew, but I bet Dylan was pleasantly surprised that Richard showed up! Then it’s cute cause over a week later, Brandon met Lily James after her play. They definitely were trying to introduce each other to their friends early on. Gemma Chan probably was richard’s first bestie that met Brandon eaaaaaaarly on (like in January).

I think Wallows fans skew very young, mostly high school aged “alternative” girls and boys into indie bands and who, frankly, haven’t listened to a lot of music lol.

R433 Oh man, Brandon has a way better and more eclectic taste I’m sure. He is actually an audiophile. He has vinyls if everything from classics to current to indie. Everyone who has done a photoshoot with him said that the tunes he pics out are insane. I’m not sure what all Richard listens to but I was SHOCKED when he name dropped Young Thug in a Rocketman interview with Taron lmaooo. Richard def listens to modern music more so than I thought.

Brandon I’m sure loves Wallows, but let’s be honest, he primarily wait to support Dylan and the band members since he’s also close with them!

mentioned**

R436 I know B has a more er... 'credible' music taste than most folks and an Amy fan is always cool with me, but indie hell is not for me. I hope they have proper headgear for solo listening excursions.

lmao

The Puglia region has some spectacular restaurants...

[quote]This and everything else points to THEM ALREADY FUCKING IN NOV.

By Nov. 1st. Richard was displaying fresh-sex face. Brandon was already giving it up in October.

R440 lmfao!!!! DEAD! I legit have thought about this the past few weeks...like especially since Richard is in London a lot....I wonder how he reacts to Sam’s songs on the radio. The snippet of How Do You Sleep? already sounds like a pop bop....I bet Brandon will still rock out to it hahahaha

Oh good god here we go...

R444 to clarify this was not in reference to the Sam thing

I hope Brandon curates their fuck playlist because if Richard puts on Top 40 and Sam Smith comes on while they’re banging.... awkward

R446 they probably used the “Richard” playlist, lbr

Still dying that he titled it that...the name is so common, but he should’ve known his fans would’ve picked up on it early on

R441 Ooh, I remember reading about that restaurant and I was wondering what part of Italy it was in. Thanks!

I want them to post something from their trip, I bet they have a lot of beautiful pics, I wish we could see the pics that they took of each other. They totally look in their bubble in that pic, I wonder what they are talking about, I mean after so many weeks together they seem to enjoy each other company so much., they live together and the last few weeks they are always traveling together, at this point their love has gotten stronger

How do they both get on ig at the exact same time so often? Lol

Omg they are liking the same posts lol

I bet Taron has said “oh now Dicky is getting dick” so many times to Richard by now lololol. Still funny that he calls Richard that.

R450 !!!!!! Richard just liked so many photos of well, including quite a few featuring Glasto. I hope he goes next year with his man!

Impressive

I think they probably are lying in bed, Brandon snuggled into the furry chest, and are doing a last minute Instagram check before ~other activities~

What was that about Richard's taste in music? lol

R455 He is such a strange human. He said the Rocketman remix done by young thug is also really good...I was like WHO ARE YOU MADDEN!!! He is an enigma.

They obviously discuss the posts they are liking. Maybe it’s s way to catch up with the rest of the world.

The absolute dedication to instagram at the same time.. We do stan time-efficient queens.

Brandon's face when...I will just leave it at that.

There was another sighting of them, they were at a restaurant close to Porta Rudiae, a lot of people recognized Richard and they wanted to take a picture but he kindly said no because he was on vacation.

R460 People are so respectful and not taking any pics. Happy for them but sad for us, lol.

R460 yeah that’s basically the town center I believe. It’s right near the bar the girl from last night mentioned. Can’t remember the name off the top of my head.

R460 couples vacation yes!!

Richard left a comment under Simon Cellan Jones post, I love that he wanted to be there but he has chosen to be with Brandon in Italy, in his favorite place with his favorite person.

R460 Thank you!

BTW, that entire tweet thread is both sweet and hilarious. God bless the Italians.

R464 Aww yeah, it’s obvious he misses it but I’m sure he doesn’t regret his choice. I’m positive Brandon encouraged him to go even if that meant he would just be in NYC doing his own thing. I don’t think Richard wanted to be apart from him and that’s what happened.

I still expect Brandon to go to Outside Lands in August. It would be lovely if Richard joined in but doubtful since MCU will probably have him occupied.

I find it sexy that in the pic Richard has his hand close to his mouth while he's looking at Brandon talking

R468 you know Brandon is looking right at those lips.

I still can't get over them basically saying fuck you to Glastonbury, NYC Pride, Turner-Jonas wedding, friends, their son etc to go on a romantic holiday in Italy.

R470 I don’t see how they would do anything but go for a romantic getaway. Like have you been following these 2? Inseparable and in their own world. They have ignored so many activities

r470 It doesn't look like any of the GOT cast minus Maisie went to the wedding, honestly.

There's been so pics of guests arriving or a full list yet

R473 *no pics

I remember a debate taking place about 20 threads ago over Richard’s main reason for moving to LA. Some were saying it was mostly work-related and Brandon being there was just an added bonus. Back then I might have agreed, but now I think his main reason for the move was Brandon, while the proximity to work/promotional stuff was just an added bonus. lol

R475 Yes, he moved to LA because of Brandon. It’s very possible to live in London and have a career in Hollywood. It’s not like there are no phones, conference calls or flights. Or like it hasn’t been done before. They fell in love and went for it.

R475 I said that he moved primarily for B and got attacked for it.

R477 Well, looks like you were right

R477 Lots of cynics here, I suppose.

I think that’s one of the reasons I love R&B so much. It’s not so much that I’m a cynic; rather, I didn’t think I had a romantic bone left in my body. Yet these two constantly amaze me. Especially Richard for taking such a big leap, and all for love.

This subject gives me LIFE

Brandon also liked his father in law's post a few hours ago, sweet.

I think it’s cute B always likes Big Dick’s posts and R is like, eh whatever, just my dad, can’t be arsed. Lol.

I am such trash for these two. I’m watching 13RW just to see Brandon and his chin cleft.

R483 I just got onto season 2 (still hate this show) but Brandon is the saving grace.

R484 It’s not for me for sure but hanging in there. B’s really hot in it.

R485 He’s weirdly hotter as a junkie

R486 I’m not there yet. I don’t know if I will make it. He is super talented though.

R487 Honestly just skip to season 2 haha

R487 He's worth sticking with it. He gets better and better and the character of Justin does too.

I think it’s obvious Richard really wanted to attend Glastonbury judging by all the likes and comment to his friend on Instagram , he mentioned he was planning to go there this year,why didn’t he? Did he change his mind because of the attention surrounding their relationships, the paps and the reports he would be sharing a tent with Brandon? They should have gone anyways who care what the media say ...I think this is more Brandon’s style as he is very sociable, he loves festivals and is a huge music fan..if I was Brandon and read Richard’s recent Sm I would have felt guilty, I know Brandon prob told him that they should have gone. Richard needs to stop being so paranoid ..it’s rubbing off Brandon with his recent Variety interview and to just have fun...I hate to ask this but if Brandon was a women would he go to the Glastonbury trip?

R490 This ^^^

R490 will you PLEASE shut up? You’ve been annoying all day with this crap.

Lol I love when people are fake af with their non-crazy posts and then you block them for being crazy and see all their other posts.

R49 Plans change and dude I’m sure Brandon TOLD him to go even if that mean he couldn’t. Relationships are all about five and take. Brandon easily could’ve been in NYC this weekend while Richard was there. What if Richard didn’t want him there because he just wants to be with him in private? And honestly it looks like some of his friends only went for the Friday. Taron is on his way to Seattle already. Richard may have also not liked the lineup as much as the time came close. Brandon isn’t holding a gun to his head. If he wanted to go with or without Brandon, he def could’ve.

Why because I have a different opinion? I’m not a sheep and Ive been a long time fan of them just observing things I notice...

What “reports” about them sharing a tent? Lmao

Obviously meant that for R490

R490 You are making so many assumptions but it’s fair given what you are trying to prove. To me, it’s a festival that happens EVERY YEAR that he has been to repeatedly. He is in a new relationship and he choose to change it up for them. Separately, could you also analyze why all the other celebs who usually go couldn’t make it? Lol. It’s not that big of deal. Life happens.

R490 how is him liking friends posts the proof it's "obvious" he wishes he were in Glastonbury? And there were no reports he'd share a tent with Brandon. As many people have said he's been many times and seems as though he decided a secluded vacation with his boyfriend would be better? I doubt highly either of them angsted about the choice. And sorry but romance in Italy beats muddy music fest every day.

R495 No because your weird af paranoia and assumptions are insane. That’s all you’ve been doing all day. All your posts are neatly lined up for me in the ignored users section. And now I’m gonna go back to ignoring.

R490 Woooah, you make it sound like Richard was shut up in an attic pining away over his friend’s Glastonbury pics! He’s in one of the most beautiful countries in the world (one he's talked about loving repeatedly) with the guy he’s clearly head over heels for. That’s not what I’d call hard done by, lol. Plus, he’s a big boy, you know, he’s all grown up and can make up his own mind. He chose to go on holiday rather than go to the festival- those are two LOVELY options to have, and nobody forced his hand either way. It's possible to want two things and simply want one more than the other.

God I love how nice and patient some of you are. Teach me your ways please.

Guys, we all need to learn to ignore the trolls. Just... don't reply.

I’m glad we have healthy arguments here I hate when people call me a troll just because I have differ opinions so I appreciate it.

R504 You had a poorly presented opinion and people responded. What did you expect? Most of us think it’s cool Richard, a grown ass man, is living his life the way he wants. I don’t think you were trolling

Yes RM is a 33 year old grown man - I highly doubt he's moping around about missing a music festival when he's been too busy fucking his younger boyfriend and enjoying Italy on a trip they clearly planned in advance.

Same poster who is now upset that Richard isn't in Glastonbury (making him a paranoid coward ruining Brandon's life) was the person upset about Richard repeating patterns of past relationships lol. Win win either way for this troll.

I’ll play devils advocate because I think a lot here say a person is a troll just because they have a different opinion. Let’s say R wanted to go to Glasto and B wanted to go to Pride. Ok, maybe one or both of them felt uncomfortable, so they both compromised with a trip to Italy. They had a conversation and decided together to go to Italy instead. I’m sure no one forced anyone to miss anything they really wanted to do. They can go to Glasto next year when it’s less pressure.

But, where you veer off course is the IG assumption that he’s passively aggressively taking it out on B. R almost always likes his friends posts. His friends are at Glasto, so he’s liking a lot of posts related to the festival. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s jealous or upset.

Also, I don’t think it has anything to do with gender. He and Ellie weren’t together when it was time for Glasto 2017 or if they were, it was a super new relationship. I believe he and Jenna went a few times later on in their relationship, not at first either.

Whenever either one of them likes a lot of posts someone is all "it's obvious they wanted to go but didn't." The other day it was obvious Brandon wanted to go home. It's obvious Richard wanted to go to Glastonbury. It's not. Most of the time they just like what is on their feed. Lots of Richard's friends are there so he likes lots of posts. Just like lots of Brandon's friends are LA based so his likes are skewed that way. Stop over analyzing likes if you're not going to take into account whose posts they are liking.

R507 oh it’s the same person? But I want to hear about the patterns repeating. I don’t understand the “patterns” angle. Oh I get it: he broke a pattern by not going to Glasto!. Ok. Still don’t get it.

I just like to post what’s on my mind at the moment either concern, happiness for them, giddiness, celebration and sadness if that makes me a troll for all my various emotions for them so be it..

This vacay could’ve also been a birthday present from his boyfriend as well. Brandon most likely asked him what he wanted to do around his birthday. If Richard wanted to go to Glastonbury for post bday celebrations then he would’ve been there even if Brandon wasn’t. Like Brandon I’m sure would gladly be happy to reunite with Charlie. They both decided on Italy and by the looks of it (them being inactive on instagram for DAYS) I’m sure they’re BOTH enjoying their decision. Richard has done Glasto soooooo many times like others have said...him and Brandon are both actors and will have different schedules so who is to say an Italian vacay would happen for them again any time soon?

Also, people love to try to shit on their relationship with the whole “not being public thing” and it’s ridiculous. They both had public relationships in the past WHICH did not last so what would that help if they went that route again? In 2013, both Richard and Jenna said in that Nerd HQ comic con interview that they Skype and tried to remain in contact in other ways due to living on opposite ends of the world sometimes for filming. It’s clear long distance didn’t work for them. Richard basically said fuck that for him and Brandon and wanted to MOVE FROM LONDON TO LA just for this boy he literally met a few months ago. That level of commitment speaks volumes and I doubt him not attending a damn music festival will be the impetus to ruin their relationship.

R511 tell me about Richard’s patterns. Is he on pattern or off?

R510, yes, when I blocked them I saw all their posts and they just argue both ends against the middle. Maybe not a traditional troll, but rather a strange fan, no clue.

I got nothing about the patterns lol. Human beings are creatures of patterns.

R510 they said Richard is repeating the same patterns with Brandon as he did with Ellie....with the whole summer vacay thing which...is dumb because people who love to travel do that with their partners. It’s common sense.

I am so sick of this "if Brandon was a woman, would Richard have...?" crap.

The whole point is that Brandon is NOT a woman and Richard is a well-known actor who was previously perceived as straight. He's a private person to begin with who doesn't like his personal life scrutinized so it's doubly difficult when all of sudden he's linked romantically to a guy. I'm sure it's not been easy for him to make these baby steps out of the damn closet, but it appears that he's working on it.

Hear hear R512.

And I shall call myself Maddnon for future clarity and references.

R515 a summer vacation is a pattern? Wow.

It’s not about having a different opinion or emotion. This is not your relationship first of all so no your emotions are not really valid. Secondly you don’t get to have an opinion on their life choices and what they do together or how or when. It’s their life! Their relationship. And as someone else already said, the real issue is you lowkey implying that Richard was being passive aggressive towards Brandon. Like I’m sorry but these two men are adults who are clearly in love and want to be with each other and alone from the rest of the craziness. Just let them.

To be fair I think it is a possibility that R was gunshy going to Gladstonbury this weekend with B knowing their relationship is high profile and photos of them sought after. I think it is very much in R's nature to find this much attention uncomfortable.

He could have gone all the same and gone alone even but he choice instead to go to Italy with B. I'm certain though he is a bit sorry he missed out on Glastonbury this weekend because when has it ever had such a lovely weather. He's probably lamenting the fact that the one time he decides to skip out is the only time is hasn't rained.

I'm equally sure he didn't regret the weeklong fuckfest in Italy one bit.

R520 lol yes but all the rain leading up to it made it very muddy

Sure thing, you can be sorry you didn't get to do something you traditionally do and also be perfectly happy with your choice not to skip it for a more appealing option.

Choice to skip it, sorry!

R516 THIS. A HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES, THIS.

Thank you!!!

R520, Exactly and I’m glad Richard and Brandon went to Italy I think its very romantic..I just wanted to raised some concerns that I had that I need to let out. I’m glad people have strong opinions on that matter even if some question me about my intentions it doesn’t really matter as I wanted to read what people think on this issue..

R519 I'm not the other person but your post is so hypocritical. How are you gonna tell someone else they don't get to have an opinion or their emotions don't count and then turn around and say R&B are "clearly in love and want to be together" when you have no idea.if that's true yourself. It's your opinion bc you don't know them either. This thread is full of people giving opinions on two grown men. Yall really need to stop acting like this is a fan forum.

I didn't think that anon was a troll based (solely) on the opinion they expressed, but more due to how they keep dragging us to the same discussion again and again. EVERYTHING that has been said in the last couple of dozens of posts has been said already, in response to the same "concern" regarding Glastonbury. Just don't respond and we can focus on more interesting things.

ANYWay... I’ve noticed since they’ve been on this secluded vacay that when they would be online was usually in the morning or again in the evening when they’d likely be in bed. Not really during the late afternoon and never during the evening (basically dinner time). And it’s really nice because it means they aren’t bored with each other while exploring and having dinner and they’re giving each other their full attention.

R526 Easy. They’ve spent 3 weeks inseparable and a week secluded in a tiny village in Italy rather than going to 3 different events we would expect them to.

You think that doesn’t show a clear love and want to be together??? That’s not an opinion, dude. It’s an obvious observation.

R520 r525 I’m sorry but I really don’t think he missed Glasto. He’s rich and he had time This is a man who will go to LA for less than 2 days. .He could have gone to Glasto alone or with Brandon if he wanted and still done Italy. He decided it wasn’t worth it this time.

I honestly feel like (I don’t know ofcourse because I’m not him) Richard would’ve felt a bit not even present at Glasto if he saw his boyfriend partying it up with the rest of the celebs and his friends in NYC this weekend. It’s obvious that he’s protective of their relationship, his privacy/personal, and possssive of Brandon so this isolated vacay seems like it was the ideal choice.

R528 YES YES YES! I noticed this as well. They get on in the morning together and then at night before sleeping (or come on most likely their sex marathon), but throughout the day they seem to be so busy and encaptured by each other.

Holy shit it's baby RM!!

R532 he’s such an adorable little potato like he said haha.. I love that he sounds the same, has the same facial expressions and body movements but it’s like.. he’s a wee babe!

I also hate the way we are all talking about this Glasto vs Italy thing as if Brandon has no say or as if Brandon isn’t missing his own activities and friends. They likely decided together to prioritize their time together and good for them.

R534 thank you!!

R529 how do you know they were inseparable? Were you with them? Because I remember an Italian girl said when she saw Richard he was alone but yall decided it didn't fit your narrative so you chose to call her a liar. I haven't seen one person who has sighted them say OMG I saw Richard holding hands with a guy or OMG I saw Richard all over Brandon. So yeah you're just filling in blanks based on what you want. Hence your opinion. I'm sure they probably are fond of each other but there's no way to know for sure

This thread sure has some crazy ass obsessed people. Making assumptions based on what you obsessively think you notice by their ig activity is just plain weird... like their liking or when and when they go on ig I’m not bashing but some people need to maybe get a life? Enjoy the weather outside instead of scrolling through someone’s social media activity especially when you don’t even know them? There’s obsessed and then there’s ott stalking like going on google bloody maps!

R536 thanks for the laugh.

R536 The girl was lying. Your stupidity is astounding. Like you can’t be this naive, can you? Now Shoo!

R536 The only time they were spotted being all over each other was months ago prior to news getting out about them living together. Richard is a private person by nature. He was only seen holding hands with previous exes.... and if people saw their PDA I doubt they would be tweeting it for the world to read.

R537 *rolls eyes* are we back to this again?

R536 are you saying they are only roommates? I thought this was resolved.

r536 How does anything after the part with the girl prove they aren't inseparable though? You don't need to be holding hands and making out on public streets in order to be inseparable.

“There’s no way to know for sure that they’re fond of each other” hshahagahahahshsbdndjk oh man

R542 just good buddies apparently.

R534 EXACTLY! Brandon has so many friends who live in NYC - he could’ve easily went there or back home to his dog and BFF Alisha. They both are making sacrifices for their relationship and it’s probably not even that major to them. Why spend time elsewhere when you can be with each other in your downtime? They probably expect this fall to be busier than now and are taking advantage of this time together. Also, I can’t see Richard turning down a birthday trip possibly planned by his boyfriend for Glasto. His friends would’ve probably thought he was insane LOL. He can catch stormzy/disclosure etc any other time in London.

R544 I died too with that one.

R542 That's not what I'm saying at all.

Couples are papped kissing and two days later announced to have broken up. PDA doesn’t mean shit if you’re not happy in your actual relationship.

I'd say people who have been travelling together almost exclusively for a month are probably fond of each other.

R543 First of all thank you for actually taking the time to respond intellectually. Secondly all I'm saying is that none of us know anything for sure and it's all just conjecture but some people just want to be dismissive when they don't like what's being said

I like to imagine instead of after sex smoke they would login in to their Instagram together..so when they are both active that means they just had sex.jk

R550 no!! ThAt just your opinion!!/$

Hahaha god I can’t with people on here man.

R548 what are you saying? Looks like you wrote there is no way for us to know if they are fond of each other because of lack of PDA.

It’s not conjecture when they’ve been up each other’s assholes for months. It’s common sense. Get some.

R551 how is it conjecture at this point? 20 threads ago maybe but now? Really?

Lmfao R536 “i’m sure they probably are fond of each other but there’s no way to know for sure” thank you for this genuine belly laugh. Really.

R554 I was responding to someone who was saying they were clearly in love. For ME based on the lack of PDA there's no clear evidence that it's love. It could be but there's no way to know for sure. I then said I was sure they were fond of each other (I only added the not sure of that to cover my bases since I don't really know them either). I do not think they're just roommates as someone upthread ridiculously said based on nothing.

R554 I like to think this trip was planned as “just us, no distractions” and they agreed to use phones only minimally during breakfast and after dinner or something like that.

Also, so let's just concede that the first Italian sighting which was Richard with other people but not Brandon was completely true. Since then there have been several sightings of them together and a picture of them alone. So even if they were "separated" for an hour, a few hours, a day, the fact remains that they have been together and well nigh inseparable for weeks, making an effort to be in the same city for a day, 2 days, etc. So, yes, I feel safe in the conjecture that they are fond of each other.

R556 Well some people here are still giving emotions to them that none of us know for sure are true. I sometimes read these threads & it's like wading thru a romance novel.

I think it's safe to assume they're more than "fond of each other" based on the fact that they are inseparable. That's not giving emotions to them; that's applying logic to a pile of evidence.

R560 I thought only one person said he was alone. I mean they are allowed to like go the bathroom, take a phonecall, go to a store etc separately. Have you not followed then going around the world together? That’s what people mean by inseparable. Not literally physically never apart for a moment. That’s not realistic.

We have new “we can’t know if they are fond of each other” trolls. I’m amused.

R558 PDA does not equal love. This is so basic.

The person who saw them months ago near the restaurants Birds in WeHo said they were all over each other and affectionate. I’m sure they show PDA when/where they feel comfortable. You can have an amazing time with your partner without being on top of them all the time.

R565 And I said for ME. Obviously you have a different view. At this point all we have is basing our opinions on pictures

I sat next to 2 guys today wearing MR and MR shirts and wedding rings and pride pins who didn't touch once. Who's to say if these men were fond of each other.

R563 no the first Italian girl said that Richard wasn’t alone at the bar but then when directly asked if he was with Brandon she said no. So who he with then? Lol he was obviously with him and she lied about it.

R567 do you really believe PDA means love? You sound like you just like to argue.

Every time something new and sweet surfaces with these two, there are concern trolls. Back in the day, people would say these two would never been seen together again because Richard was obviously paranoid blah blah blah. The next day, BAM they are in NYC together headed to dinner. Then concern trolls came out the wood works to say Richard was “obviously” mad and annoyed because of his facial expression...despite him always having RBF with the paps. Like I’m sure some people are genuinely concerned, but most of these posters just scream “TROLL” to me.

It’s just the “concern” thing in itself that’s so laughable and silly to me. Like this ain’t our lives, there’s nothing to be concerned with.

R571 agree. Like clockwork. Remember the PR strategy trolls and the Richard-is-high-and-needs-to-hold-Brandon@s-neck trolls? Endless.

R570 No I don't. And what's annoying is the either or of the thread. I'm not at all or have I ever said I don't think they're a couple. Also just because I don't think they're in love or ready for marriage means I think they're about to break up. There is such a thing is the middle part of a relationship where maybe it's not love yet but maybe you don't know yet.

[quote]My heart just wants to cry when I think of like how badly Richard wanted him and this. Like invite to Scotland, wanting to live with him SUPER early on, gifting him that compass necklace from Pyrrah....he really REALLY wanted to show Brandon early that he was serious about them. To think that he could’ve easily kept dating Ellie/whichever woman despite fawning over Brandon...he chose the path to happiness and I’m just sooooooo happy for him. He really went the extra mile to make this happen.

Richard is at the peak of his career so it's such a really unusual, beautiful love story.....

R574 thanks for changing your tune to something more sensible.

PDA means nothing. This couple only lasted 8 months..

R577 8 months is still work. The better example would be finding photos of them when they were literally showing PDA by holding hands and kissing two weeks before People announced their breakup. Their relationship was obviously headed in a bad direction despite them kissing in pap photos the week before.

R578 Likely good lessons and insight for Brandon.

The thing about PDA is that sure it's a sign of uncontained lust/affection but it's also a perfomance. It's for the audience around you.

I wonder what these two have next on their trip extravaganza. Maybe they’ll do 4th of July somewhere else not in Miami or LA, I wonder.

Also, speaking of festivals, I do think Brandon is still going to Outside Lands in San Francisco (his fave festival) especially with Wallows performing! And it does look like the 13RW fandom will finally get more Brandon in US interviews (fucking finally!!!) because Dylan is touring this fall! I’m excited for new Bflynn content (visually I mean).

You don’t spend this much time with and make sacrifices for and do crazy travel trips for someone you aren’t yet in love with. Please. If that was the case they’d just date casually and see each other in LA.

R581 Richard is receiving an honorary doctorate from his acting school on July 4. I would presume he'd be attending that ceremony, but I supposed we'll know when it happens.

R574 Hey you know that's fair - it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Personally I think they're both pretty serious about each other and this relationship - Richard especially has surprised me in a good way. Also truly anyone talking about marriage at all has to be trolling or straight up delusional.

R582 Yeah, I understand everyone has their different opinion and definition of love, and we obviously can’t know for a fact whether they are but I mean Brandon literally curated a love playlist for Richard on Spotify months ago and they’ve been in each other’s pockets since....Richard dropping everything in London (his house, good friend group, familiar places) for this boy shows me he’s been acting on love for a while now. Imagine if he legit uprooted everything and started a new life in Brandon’s place just for them to split up a week later. He obviously felt like whatever connection they have showed promise for something longer.

R583 OH YES! Completely forgot about that lol. I can’t wait to get photos from the ceremony!

R582 THANK YOU. There is no way in hell that a couple who makes this much effort to be together as much as humanly possible is merely sort-of, kind-of fond of each other and still trying to figure out how they feel about each other. Again, logic applies here.

R566, Yea it was the Franklin Village resident who spotted them being “clearly together” a month before the first set of pics came out and posted about it in the very first thread ... He /she said they didn’t care who saw them and he/she thought they were a cute gay couple untill he saw that it was Richard..I wish he/she would come back here because I still wanted him/her to describe those PDAs.

R586 unfortunately the lack of logic has often been heavy in these threads

R587 is there a link to that sighting?

R584 Thanks. Look at us being all civil and shit. I think it's love ;)

R587 They said they were affectionate and all over each other, but since they didn’t mention kissing I assuming it was just like cutesy stuff like holding hands on and off at the table and touching, but nothing OTT.

R589 The person wrote their comments in the very first thread and then again I believe on 4/20. They said they recognized the area where they were papped and mentioned how they saw them at one of the restaurants near Birds (the poster themselves was eating at Birds and saw them at another one).

NEW THREAD

R587, it was on the very first thread and my personal favorite because of how exciting and confuse everyone was and thn it turn into some fan forum where we can’t have diff opinions or we will be called a troll..we have to be a clique who think the same and act the same..

R589 here’s a screenshot of that sighting from before the pictures came out

R593 No one is saying you can’t have your own opinion, but to say Brandon will “feel bad” after seeing comments from Richard on Glastonbury on social media and regret not going makes no sense when we don’t know Bflynn. Why would he feel bad based off a social media comment when he could talk to the man himself in person about the decision? Educated opinions are a thing.

People are acting like R not going to Glastonbury is the end of the world. And that B is keeping him from living life.

Thanks R594!

R596 these are likely people who don’t like them together or prefer otherwise so they only look for what they perceive to be negative.

R598 These concerned trolls pop up whenever we get more evidence that they're a couple.

New pics or sighting. They have to flock here and post something negative.

why go to the Jonas wedding? pointless
