Ben Barnes XXXV - Bangin' The Younger Years. AGAIN. Continued. *sigh*

Why is the world a better, more beautiful place when we stop paying attention to this idiot? Who dressed him in these PLURAL fucking travesties and do they still have a job tonight? Because they clearly don't deserve to. Jesus fuck this is horrifying. It's like the younger his girlfriends get the older his apparent grandpa ass wants to appear. Why was that horribly fitting cardigan ever thought into existence, much less made, much less put on his body? Why? But then he throws in the easter egg of those beloved all whites on his feet to let you know he's still just a man-child. Did he apply his own bronzer or is that just how diseased his skin naturally looks these days and no professional can save him? At least his hair doesn't look as much like the used floor mop it usually resembles, so thank God for small miracles.

Aubrey was there, Ben barnes fans stephanie has a pic of them in black and white from the after party

Is she wearing a cross? And his jacket from Kevin’s party?

Yes indeed, not only was she there, she wore his striped Boss jacket from Wimbledon last year. Because obviously she doesn't have proper clothes of her own, she just couldn't help but wear Ben's infamous jacket as a signal to everyone of her privilege. She knew there would be pictures, professionals were hired to cover the whole thing. She looked fucking ridiculous in that huge hanging sack, but she didn't care, she was showing the fuck off to rub it in everyone's face.

It's the same exact thing she's been doing the whole time. Choosing a profile pic of her cat laying on Ben's rug for one of her many, MANY new Instagram accounts. Posting her selfie driving Ben's car. Posting several times over and over painting the pink crap that recently appeared on Ben's dining room wall. Over and over, she makes sure to return to her peacocking drunken display up on her privileged London balcony, FAR above the rest of Ben's measly fans. Because this MeanGirl is undeniably a vicious little *cunt* under that fake smile. Utterly bereft of ALL grace and humility. Completely unfit for anyone respectable. Obviously auditioning to be a Real Housewife of the Hollywood Hills.

Ben claims over and over that he wants to be a good guy and put good things out into the world. With this girl beside him, he has failed catastrophically in that at every possible turn.

His hand in his pocket says so much. When his arm is around the nepo baby, body is leaning away from her. He knew they were taking a picture together, he showed zero affection. The body doesn’t lie. This feels like another peyton, his friends are all working, she is a place holder. She loves trolling this new one. The others at least had the class to ignore it. Maybe if she had an actual career she would be more interesting than her cat.

Love how this is not the only place where many people are talking about how much they see Aubrey for who she is.

At a friend's urging, I took a longer look at the footage from each premiere to compare. And Ben looked much more settled and himself in London. There was A LOT more smiling. There was a lot more charm on the carpet with considered answers to questions. It was far closer to the old Ben we used to see years ago. He appeared to be all around happy to be there with his parents and a mystery guest that *wasn't* Skeletor.

But then there was the LA premiere. Where he looked practically sullen all evening. And anxious. Constantly moving his hands about as he apparently couldn't keep them still. Barely a genuine smile all night long. He looked like he was absolutely over the whole thing and wanted to be literally *anywhere* else, like he couldn't wait for it to end, and it made him look like absolute shit that night. And that was the premiere that he took Skeletor to. Because OBVIOUSLY, she's such a good, calming, supportive influence on him. So good that he was leaning as far away from her as possible as they sat next to each other in the theater, and so good that he put his arm around another man instead of acknowledging her with his otherwise available hand firmly in his pocket.

Truly, a "relationship" toxic dreams are made of.

So let me get this straight, because just how transactional is this relationship? Skeletor's latest grifting "career" attempt is as a great "artist." Of course almost every single canvas looks like she was simply in the backyard playing in the mud, but at least her new daddy's proud enough to hang his little girl's playtime up in his dining room! Though Benny has previously admitted that he's such a thrifty cheapskate he's not going to spend actual money on real art so I guess that makes sense.

But Ben made the mistake of leaving a comment on one of Skeletor's new posts. And it drew a trolling reply about Ben. Which drew more and more replies making fun of Ben. And all those comments trashing Ben were left up for everyone to see and read. Skeletor returned to the post again and again throughout the day to like and reply to the comments as they came in, but she left up the comments that trolled Ben. However, there were comments and dm's that were critical of her that also came in. Those she deleted immediately, also blocking the accounts. Because that was against *her*, so she cared then. The negative comments about Ben she left up for weeks. That is, until the day after Benny agreed to take her to the LA premiere (sloppy second premiere's the charm I guess?) and allowed her to wear HIS jacket. It was only after he agreed to take her looking like that that she finally hid all the negative comments. And I do say HID, not deleted, not blocked. They're all still there, maybe just waiting as blackmail so Ben never says no to her demands again.

So just how transactional is this purportedly loving supportive "relationship" and just how desperate is Ben's obvious mid-life crisis getting?

But speaking of her newest venture. . . Skeletor is DM'ing with Ben's most obsessive FanFraus. I repeat, Skeletor is in Ben's most ardent fan's DMs. Where she's attempting to grift off their utter desperation. Because a bunch of them IMMEDIATELY flocked to her comments saying they really wanted to buy one of her mud-based paintings and she told them to DM her for pricing. Because she doesn't have a website. She doesn't have an actual store of any kind. She only has Instagram DMs, like a *real* artist. But I guess that makes sense, because she doesn't have any real customers, just frighteningly obsessive Ben Barnes fangirls so desperate for his love and attention that they'll effusively comment offering her money in the hopes that he'll reward them with a big wet kiss at the next con.

Well Ben has made an entire career out of exploiting his FanFrau's desperation lately. And clearly, he's taught Skeletor well. And why not. She's obviously good for literally nothing else.

Haha he’s let her do it again! Managed to ruin the last ever ASOCAS by posting a pic of the Eiffel Tower and some horrible classless selfies - to announce her arrival in Paris. She’s one spiteful little madam.

BUT… Barnes obviously enjoys all the drama! This is the 2nd time she’s location photo-dumped. She must be ecstatic because he’s allowed her to post!

What a gent! Take a load of your fans’ money hand-over-fist for this fancon, then allow your placeholder gf to sneakily post pix showing she’s there - just to spoil their day.

Like… the mentions of ‘his new cat’. Look, Benny - people know it’s hers, ok - so you must think they’re all dumb. You think you’re the cleverest person in the room but hey, you’ve managed to pick yet another grifter/attention seeker.

Also it springs to mind that he took her to that museum to show her what REAL art looks like 😆 maybe her efforts will improve somewhat now!

Obsessed ^

I think it is so sad that for a year she has absolutely nothing happening in her life that all she does is paint in her parents house backyard and at Ben’s house and follows him around the world. Of course letting his fan girls know he is the center of everything for her, all the while he distanced himself for her at every second which is embarrassing for her. If she didn’t post stories or have socials and we just watched Ben we would never know they are together. He simply does not care enough to claim her. His views on his new video, so low. They are both so basic, it’s so boring.

Just for the record she went to Canada this time last year to visit him on set of the institute where she met Joe, they went to NY together to film nevermind music video and that brand deal tennis game, then Christmas trip with his family in London at the concert (we get sighting and tagged photos from her friends her showing us they were together), then she sang at his show in her hometown in Portland, then she went to his London show for Valentine’s Day, then brought her family to LA for his final show, now she went to his meet and greets in Paris.

What has he done for her? Put her in HIS music video, gave her a slot in HIS show and never promoted it, and took her to a concert with HIS family and we all know that ticket for probably for his brother anyway but she was there so why not tag along. Also saying he loves his band and loves his cast mates and loves everyone but her.

Excuse me first NY then Canada as they started filming is September, tennis was in the summer

Aubrey needs hair plugs.

Just saw a video about Meg Ryan and Dennis quaid and how Dennis was an alcoholic and cheating throughout their marriage, but then Meg had an affair with Russell crow and that ruined her career entirely. Funny how Ben was obsessed with Meg Ryan movies because she looks exactly like jules and the affair he had with Jules has also ruined his career. Hollywood age old story I guess.

Stolen time is literally about their affair, he wrote a whole song about it.

Remora is a bible thumping whore who has nudes online and got herself a pathetic white man to take care of her so she doesn't have to work. Ben is her sugar daddy who's on a budget because he can only afford to take her on trips when it's work related and comped or he got a discount.

Why is Ben using bronzer to make his skin look darker at The Institute premiere? His face and neck looked orange and ridiculous while his chest looked like Casper the ghost. Obviously he didn't learn his lesson after the backlash from using makeup to imitate a Latino in that one movie. I really would like to know his IQ level.

So before I went to bed last night something told me to check Benny's Instagram. Maybe because I knew the ASOCAS con was this weekend, but something told me to check last night. And I wound up finding several pictures of him out and about in Paris taking selfies with fans. And Benny, as per usual since he's gotten back to LA this year, looked positively sullen in all the pictures I found of him. There was a very small smile on his face in each, but it was 10,000 miles away from his eyes. And I remembered the old days (I will admit, even fondly), when Ben always looked happy in pictures with his fans. When his whole face was always smiling big. Back then, he practically always looked like there was joy in his life. I haven't seen evidence of that Ben since he was on tour early this year. When he's not being paid to perform in his mask, I've only seen evidence of apparent haunted depression since he got back to LA in March. And that's exactly what I saw in these Paris selfies too.

But then today, I saw the reason why. And it's the Same. Exact. Reason. it's been this entire year. Because he brought Skeletor with him to Paris. Just like his very distracted, nervous performance at his London concert (according to the fangirls that complained about it online afterwards). Just like his depressingly low energy final LA concert. Just like the surprisingly fewer and fewer self taped moments we've gotten from home this year. Just like the Institute's LA premiere (as opposed to the very different London premiere!) which was the worst I've seen him yet. Since March, it's always the same anxious, haunted depression, and it's always when she's around. So is it *because* she's around and absent when she is, or is that just too obvious a coincidence for Benny?

But now Skeletor. Returning to her one true form showing the fuck off from her London balcony. Except this time it's from her Paris balcony with Ben. Just like how she knew that she'd be photographed at the LA premiere so she wore that embarrassingly ridiculous oversized hanging sack known as Ben's suit jacket instead of her own clothes, she knew that fangirls would be all up in Ben's life because of ASOCAS, so she made goddamn SURE to exploit her extremely privileged position to show everyone that yes, she was there too. With him. Making sure to even show herself eating an emojied Paris croissant, Benny's known favorite thing in the world. And if you doubt she was putting her extreme privilege on full display, she's recently created MULTIPLE private Instagram accounts for all her friends and family. She *could* have posted this trip to those accounts, isn't that why they're there? But she didn't do that. She made absolutely certain to post herself in Paris with Ben publicly for all his fangirls to see. While the con was going on. Because this little girl *NEEDS* to show off her privilege like the rest of us need to breathe oxygen. Because this little MeanGirl is an absolutely vicious little fucking *CUNT*.

Aubrey wears Ben's clothes because all she has in her closet are bikini's and crop tops. His rags are the next best thing for her.

Well he could also be depressed because his career has tanked. The last time he was on a set working was almost a year ago. His distraction of music and a tour and live tour videos are becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. Him releasing a deluxe album like he said in that interview who cares, no one cares right now. Every time Aubrey pops up his views on YouTube sink lower and lower so her love clearly is not helping at all. Also Aubrey and him are unemployed, so they literally are not busy. They sit in LA doing what exactly? Absolutely fucking nothing. It’s sad.

R38 Not denying at all that the unemployment could play a part, but I will stress that he wasn't like this while he was on tour. But back then, he was surrounded by people he repeatedly said he openly LOVES. He was happy, and joyful, and dancing all the time, and smiling the hell through selfies with fans, and literally saying multiple times on stage that he never wanted the tour to end and that he immediately wanted to put together another one. He literally said he never wanted the one thing that kept him away from Skeletor and His Cat to end. And once it did, he hasn't stopped looking depressed in nearly every shot we see of him. Once he went home to her. Even if he is still unemployed and sad about it, she OBVIOUSLY doesn't bring him to the same joyful dancing spirit that his bandmates did for two months straight. What kind of loving, supportive, *SHOULD* be joy-inducing apparent girlfriend can't make a guy as happy as his friends and bandmates? One who very, VERY clearly isn't right for him, but he's so unbelievably stuck in his mid-life crisis that he's stubbornly refusing to ever go deeper and allow himself to feel and consider what's absolutely plain as day to every single objective person out there in the world.

Totally agree. The institute premiere in LA he looked so nervous in videos constantly touching his hair, full of anxiety and the worst we have seen him in years. Someone in love radiates that love, you cannot fake it, you have it or you don’t. I don’t see them radiating at all, I just see a little girl happy to get some attention.

The fact the band does not follow her at all or support her speaks volumes. Those are people who are seasoned musicians who can see a deceitful person a mile away, they met her and played with her and none of them want anything to do with her. Not even Charles who has known Ben for years or the girls who seem very down to earth. When he says he loves everyone he means it, clearly this relationship is just his mid life crisis playing out like you said.

R34 I’m laughing out loud as that is so true!

During one of his press day interviews, Benny rather wittily referred to The Institute as ‘Baby Shawshank’. Even sulky nepo baby Joe cracked a small smile at that.

It made me smile too as I’d just been thinking that Benny had managed to get himself a Baby Ho as his new ‘companion’. Benny was never enough for the Ho and it’s the same with this gal. She’s got big and expensive expectations of him.

He doesn’t realise that he’s got hold of a snake by the tail. He thinks he’s in control but he really isn’t. She’s acting like he is… for now! 😂
