It has to be the scene that gave us the most iconic 'baby' in movie history, right?

Consider my interest PIQUED!

Gotta be Paris for me. The overall hand work there is exquisite.

Chat, I realise that you're just gonna have to take my word for it because the evidence was shot from another zipcode, but seeing Harry Styles run across the stage with a bisexual flag was exactly the healing I, and frankly the world, needed.

They just can't let the other have the spotlight, can they?

I don't often remember fic titles (my bad, I know), but this is one of those that stuck. Great premise, great execution.

Same, it's so distracting!

Another absolute banger.

And that's where you come in, doing God's work by raising awareness!

THIS. Either commit and make it the same one (which we would all have loved) or make them different enough to eliminate the confusion and discussion about it.

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

I can'ttttt, it's too much. They're all so good!

Very much not surprised about the Henley, but I thought the pink trunks would finish higher up the list.

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

I'm gonna go on vibes, controversial as it may be: 1 🤍 Henley 2 🩷 Swim Trunks 3 🗳️ Campaign 4 😎 Lakehouse leather 5 🎆 NYE 6 🍓 Alex Special mention to the jean button down that I love but has been tainted by its scene partner and therefore never had a real shot. You will be missed. Thanks, Mandy!

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Guys, I can't with this one. I love that Henley so much but the trunks are just giving us everything they can, aren't they? Let me think about it for a bit.

020

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Me too, not actually British but studied there!

110

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

They are both very VERY good looks. I'll give the advantage to the white Henley, purely because he's feisty to the president in this scene and sometimes, someone needs to put the president in his place. I'm sorry, HER place, my bad.

020

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Am I still on time? Sleeveless tee, pleeeeeek.

110

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Yeah, that's a pretty safe bet. I'm also not totally sold on it, I always prefer a casual look over a suit, which is why I rallied for the henley. On the bright side, TZP/ACD looks good in any outfit, so there are no losers in this competition!

020

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

I'm gonna have to give this one to the arm-accentuating campaign tee.

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Please tell me it was at least a close call? #justiceforthewhitehenley

That's insane, Cora. Massive congrats! 🎉

7. In conclusion: - I am henceforth no longer your token straight friend but your bi-demi-married-to-a-man friend, - I am ever so grateful for this community and all the support in it, - and I am open to answer any questions you have about me and this journey it has certainly been. Lots of love!

The bisexual part is still tentative, as I don’t have any concrete experience, but someone wise once said “Straight people probably don't spend this much time convincing themselves that they're straight”, so that’s what I’m rolling with.

6. You are now collectively the second person to know: I am bisexual and demisexual, the latter being less of a revelation and more just the labeling of something I already knew about myself but hadn’t had the vocabulary for.

160

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

5. I’m still a bit cross with myself for taking so long to realise all this, but I guess we’ll call it the Alex Claremont-Diaz Experience™ and leave it at that. No timeline on figuring yourself out, and all that jazz.

150

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

and not having to worry about hiding my relationship or anything about myself, and that it’s a bit of a cop-out to not use that privilege to raise awareness, but I’m choosing to be kind to myself and take time to let things fall into place. Maybe in the future I’ll be more outwardly vocal about it.

160

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

4. Related, I’m currently not planning on coming out to anyone else IRL, at least not in a ‘big announcement’ kinda way. If it comes up in conversation, I’ll address it. If someone verbally assumes I’m straight, I’ll correct them. I realise that it's a privileged situation to be straight-passing...

3. Even though he is my best friend and I knew he would understand, it was still SO HARD to say the actual words out loud. I cannot imagine doing this to a less understanding audience, so all my love to those in the community who were brave enough!

160

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

2. I’ve talked to my husband who was as understanding and thoughtful as I knew he would be, and who said all the right things and asked all the right questions. (Special mention for “well, I can’t say that I’m shocked, per se”)

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

1. First off, a massive thanks to everyone who reached out and trusted me with their personal experience, both publicly and privately. I’ve read every single thing and it truly helped a lot in figuring things out. Y’all are badass as fuck, and so so kind to help me on this journey.

I feel like I should say a few words here after having a minor menty B and then dipping for three days straight (ha!). A couple of things:

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I already know people are gonna vote for the NYE fit, so let me be the voice of support for the white Henley. It's white, it's tight, it has an open collar exposing a truly delicious suprasternal notch. Need I say more?

140

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I've been thinking about joining Discord to connect more with RWRB writers, but it's just so daunting as a newbie! I wouldn't know how to find my way. But I'll happily join a minty fresh one where we're all just figuring it out!

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

My environment is actually super liberal, my mum is queer and married to a woman now, so I honestly have no idea why I never stopped to think about it until these two clowns invaded my life (and heart!) Maybe I just missed some of the vocabulary and community to learn more about it.

120

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

That is the exact sentence that's been on repeat in my head. That, and "there's no timeline for figuring yourself out" give me the courage to even ask these questions out loud. I'm glad to hear it's not only fictional characters that are in this predicament with me! ❤️

010

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

This actually helps a lot, because my husband is absolutely the love of my life, there's no doubt there. And it's easy to be straight-presenting, but it also kind of suppresses the necessity to figure things out, if that makes sense? Which is why I'm so unsure now, probably.

120

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Believe me, I am struggling to find the words myself! Thanks for taking the time though!

020

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

You're so kind, Mel, and logically I know all these things you're saying already. But realistically, I'm just struggling with the fact that I'm not sure what I am feeling, having only been in straight relationships before. Somebody provide me with a checklist or a Buzzfeed quiz or something!

250

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

About needing a silly book/movie to kickstart the thought process? Like, how do I know if I'm not just over-attaching myself to a piece of media I like? I've always considered myself a good ally, maybe I just want to belong to the community? Am I just projecting something?

450

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

I guess I just finally took the time, after all these years, to think about why this movie/book/fandom resonates so much with me, more than the gazillion other romcoms I watched (and loved) growing up. And I feel so stupid, not only about taking so long to start figuring it out, but also...

160

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Oh, physically I'm fine, don't worry. I just feel stupid about something and am looking for validation, I guess. But then again, I already know y'all are gonna be super understanding and supportive, which makes me feel even more stupid. 🙈 Like, whyyyy can't I just deal with it on my own??

220

Lien @lien-be.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Ah yes, Wine & Words™, cheers!

Chat, is this a safe space for an almost forty-year-old to say scary things for the first time?

I get the votes for button down because arms, but the campfire jacket is just so huggable!
