@chrissyteigen
LOVE STEVE KORNACKI! but....have you seen Gadi Schwartz & Jacob Soboroff, also on MSNBC? They are covering AZ & NV election results respectively & every time I see them im like "please don't hurt them Trumpers!!!" they look like this under their masks & I just...
so funny to me that some people think Bette would be running to anyone other than Tina in that LA Traffic ep. I mean, do you all see there's a whole-ass traffic set up in the background? with cars lined up? also, the chairs together in the holding area....that bette runs by!?💅
i swear this episode has healing powers. i was already missing Bette & Tina but…as i’m watching the ep, i’ve got a huge smile on my face watching them so in love. JB & LH just chemistry in full effect. i think i’m gonna be OK w/ this. sigh. also Bette playing w Tina’s hand. 🥹💖
just got back from seeing
#MAMAMOO
@UBSArena
! OMG they’re AMAZING. their first U.S. tour & they SLAYED. the harmonies, the vocals, the choreo, the charisma. WOW. NYC gave them a great welcome for their first show in the U.S. so happy to be there to cheer them on!
@RBW_MAMAMOO
🔥💖
woke up to pics posted by jennifer. today’s my birthday. i could not have asked for a better gift than JB posting some of her behind the scenes pics. especially this one🥹🙏🏻 starting another year off being a happy mush. thank u
@jenniferbeals
&
@LaurelLHolloman
for the sparkle💖
i’ve had the best day. i’m so overwhelmed. and happy. and it almost feels like a crime to be this happy. this whole trip is so worth it. thank you, jennifer beals. 🥹🙏🏻💖
ok. i’ve been able to form some words:
who THE FUCK did the lighting on this show/for this scene? how did this make it past post production? who saw this & thought: “oh yeah. this is fine. it’s ok if we don’t see the show’s most popular couple in shadow during their kiss?” WHO?!
“”we did our jobs…the rest of it is out of our fucking control.” - kate from the latest pants ep
they had just mentioned jennifer not being in the next eps until 9 & 10. they have a lot to say but will talk about it after the season is over. 😆 i love kate & leisha.
OMG the FUN that is Seventeen! i love them so much. 🤗 the vocals. the choreography. 13 members. 3 units (vocal, performance, rap). 1 band. Seventeen! what a great show they put on in DC.

i recorded the crowd reaction at semi-tropic/season 3 finale viewing party…to bette & tina’s wedding. these always make me so happy & so proud. 🥹🙏🏻💖 thank you
@jenniferbeals
&
@LaurelLHolloman
for creating a couple we can cheer for! (full vid on bette & tina house of stir fry)
below are pictures of laurel holloman.
this is laurel holloman. in various angles, hairstyles, outfits, points in her life…
anyone who doesn’t look like this?
is not laurel holloman.
THIS IS LAUREL HOLLOMAN. ❤️🔥🙏🏻⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
it's January in NYC...it's 64 degrees. 64. right now. mid-january. im in shorts and a t-shirt with the windows open. where my seasons at???!! this sucks.
THE EYE CONTACT…during the kiss and the little pause. 😮💨❤️🔥
who does that? “bette & tina” that’s who. the intimacy jennifer & laurel achieve in these little moments between the big passionate moments…really sets them apart from any other couple. 🙌🏻
ok, good night. 🥰
so for the group photo…they took 2 pics. for the 2nd pic, JB walked into the middle-ish of the group & stood right next to me, hooked my arm…twice (bc they needed another 📸). i couldn’t or wouldn’t believe it but my friends were there & saw it & there’s a group pic. i just…🥹
it cannot be overstated how absolutely breathtaking Laurel Holloman is in person. just her presence even lights up the place. im looking at the vids & pics of her arrival Sunday's Dana's Night. the joy & excitement & on fans faces. Laurel is a freakin' sweetheart of a ROCK STAR🤩
MAMAMOO vocals are powerful & so beautiful. here’s “paint me” 😭 i love this song. hearing it live, their beautiful voices…so special.
@RBW_MAMAMOO
@UBSArena
i was rewatching ep 10 Bette & Tina scenes &…i just teared up. out of nowhere. because we got so little. so precious little of them at their own wedding. i know it’s a show but…it’s heartbreaking. because they deserved more & so did the fans. so. i’m back here again. 😢
update: Jennifer has edited her latest post from "Playing Bette has been an honor of a lifetime." to "Playing Bette is an honor of a lifetime." don't know if that means anything but there you have it. hoping it DOES mean she's not gonna stop playing Bette. 🤞🥹
the way bette reacts to angie getting dumped is different from the way tina reacts…
bette: i never liked that kid from the start! (blaming jordi & asserting her know-it-all-ness)
tina: oh my god, we’re terrible mothers!
(blaming her & bette, not jordi)
🤣they’re a great team! 🤣
awake for my travel day home. i still can’t believe laurel rolled up after the screening like a rock star. everyone was so excited. i was about to leave! anyway. i caught some outside laurel. she’s so adorable/sexy at the same time…& look how she moves getting into that caddy.😍
me, laurel & maria maggenti…it was so amazing to meet them! if i look a little stunned i am. also laurel asked about my pop socket of jj. laurel: “is that a corgi?” me: “no that’s a chihuahua dachshund.” 🥰🐶 we do love our dogs. one of the greatest moments ever!!
bette & tina. this happened. 2022.
even though this scene should have been about 2 minutes longer (because you can tell there was more...)
JB & LH did not disappoint. I mean...the best love scene yet on this show 🔥🔥. with the history & love story to back it up.
had a great time meeting & hanging out with these lovely peeps at
@LaurelLHolloman
“Deep Dive” exhibition. the art was overwhelmingly beautiful. laurel was lovely to spend the time she had signing a couple of prints. i do wish people would have heeded her wish of no videotaping.
out of all the gorgeous, beautiful photos of JB from the spirit awards, I find just Jennifer Beals out on the street by herself...in the wild...fascinating. 😌
remember when the cast was at the season 2 finale watch party & our jennifer recorded the last couple of minutes but POSTED JUST THE BETTE & TINA PART? like, she made sure she was standing & recording. yeah. i loved that too. 😌
we got so very little scenes with the OGs in GenQ season 3. one of the best parts for me was when alice loudly exclaims bette & tina were “doin it in the walk in!” & shane chimes in “whaddaya doin?”😂 it’s so funny because it’s them. 💖
i miss them.
good night.
what they're up to:
1) swapping recipes = PAST (im sure they've done this)
2) no good = PRESENT
3) a little sumpin’ sumpin’ 💝 (hell bent on keepin’ the surprises coming) = FUTURE
LET'S GO!!!!
@SHO_TheLWord
ABSOLUTELY Bette & Tina...
#TiBette
...are ENDGAME. no matter how long it takes, they will be the one for each other. last night was heartbreaking but they are the definition an epic love story, not for the fickle or faint of heart. I believe in them.
@jenniferbeals
@laurellholloman
1st time seeing
@LaurelLHolloman
’s art in person. JUST WOW. she is an ARTIST in every way. size, depth of color & brushstrokes tell a story. here are some faves. i will go back for a “Deep Dive” before i leave London bc there’s more to see. THANK YOU LAUREL &
@BanksideGallery
!🙏🏻
Jennifer Beals knows Bette & Tina...& if anyone calls them "toxic" (which is the group think one word answer for an uninformed hater), then, here's the answer for them. What we have been saying but put so much more eloquently by JB. LOVE THIS.
buy DIVA:
in the “one could argue” moment, i just love how this little exchange shows how much they have grown, to not let ego or pride or the small stuff get in the way of the big picture, of what they want, of their love. a cute exchange that means so much. i love bette and tina! 🥹🙏🏻💖
i know i didn’t post a lot. but it really is overwhelming to see
@LaurelLHolloman
in person. she’s such a generous person. you can just tell by how she interacts w admirers. she tries to make time for everyone. here’s a video i took of the art! this wall of color & movement 💖⬇️
When I was rewatching for the write up, Kiki Smith & the "Fawn" print. Bette's first artist she started to collect, Bette's first love is Tina. the layers that Kiki Smith & the print represent for Bette & Tina. Tina buying the print bc she didn't want Bette to let it/her go. 🤯😭
good morning

@paramountco
would love a season 4. with a new showrunner & a whole new writers room where there is knowledge of The L Word series & experience telling a long term story. please. this show is important to so many.
i love how jennifer talks about “bette” this season…& this love bette “has delighted in & anguished over” for over 20 years…how bette will do “anything she can to have it, to earn it & to keep it.” 🥹🙏🏻
feeling the Tibette vibes strong here at Foster’s Freeze. it made me so happy to be here…where the best of the best stood. 🙌🏻💖
dear
@LaurelLHolloman
, did you really eat a
#3
combo? the fries are delicious! 😌🍔🍟🥤
one last parting pic &…i’m still stunned to the point of goofy & happy & giddy & beyond amazed. laurel is so lovely, gracious & a sweetheart. truly. also taller than i thought. also so beautiful. 🥹🥰 i’ve got more to say but for now, i’m just so happy. laurel!! 💖
Choosing to take away fr ep 10: BETTE & TINA & what Jennifer & Laurel gave us. Their moments, the humor w Kate & Leisha, walking together, holding hands, looking like they owned the place. The vows. The dance. Their forever. ♾Thank you to
@jenniferbeals
&
@LaurelLHolloman

@LaurelLHolloman
: you are making sooooo many people happy with this interview. i hope you know that. thank you for bringing joy to this fandom & this community with all you do. so much gratitude. 🙏🏻🥹💖 p.s. look at those fresh face smiles! 😊💖🌈
ooh my god, Laurel Holloman, you actual sunshine human. the way she & jennifer care so much about bringing us “Bette & Tina” because they love this story too. it is a comfort. this whole interview…what a great way to wake up. 🥹🌞🙏🏻💖
this weekend was truly unreal. everything about it was special. i’m so happy to be here. spending time with fellow fans & some who are now real friends…all because of jennifer beals. 🙏🏻so grateful to her for bringing us together. for this weekend i will never forget. 🥹🙏🏻
i love that
@Showtime
used this pic as part of their happy mother’s day post. as they should. best family on The L Word!
@SHO_TheLWord
Bette & Tina with their Angie? that is family. 💖
bette & tina can’t just be friends…because friends don’t kiss each other like this goodbye. it’s like “here’s a friendly goodbye kiss…oh wait a minute” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 hello. you’re still in love with each other. 📣
this was crazy times. i love a crazy couple on a crazy show. 😫
OH! one more thing. i was looking at “Sun on Her Face” & am obsessed w this brush stroke w thick paint that makes it look 3D by the thickness of the paint & the black “underneath” the thick brush stroke, making it look like a shadow. are you kidding me, laurel? BRILLIANT.⬇️🤯🙌🏻💖
just kissing your ex LIKE THIS in front of the person you’re currently dating…
i just. yeah. bette & tina were never really over, were they? like even when they’re not together, they were…subconsciously?…together. 😌😘
1) laurel’s pretty soft spoken. what it must have took for her to just yell this out in a big auditorium…
2) …with her whole chest. 😌
3) bette’s face. 🥴🤓
BETTE and TINA ARE BACK!!
it’s all gonna be fun again. yay!!
i love them. i’ve missed them. i love the 5 seconds we got
i just had the best chat with Jennifer. there was time. no one else for selfie/autographs. she gets me and i’m absolutely blown away all over again.
amazed and touched.
THANK YOU, JENNIFER BEALS. 🥹💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
p.s. t-shirt & 👓 twins 🖤🤍
here's a recap thread for
@SHO_TheLWord
season 3, episode 8 "quality family time"
BUT FIRST THE PROMO TRAILER FOR EP 9:
bette & tina!!! at Angie's reading?? the teacher is near angie & tina gets up & screams "HEY! GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!!" OH MY GOD.
they look goooood.
i got to thank jennifer beals in person, for all that she is & everyone she brings together, and that was my main reason for being at the con. 🙏🏻 everything else is just something truly magical that i cannot even explain but am truly grateful for the connection.🙏🏻
i did take photos using an actual camera, but my computer is being weird. i will download them shortly and share some. jennifer beals…the light she is…she deserves all the love in the world.
ANYWAY. focus on the beauty of bette & tina. & hopefully seeing them again in season 4 of
@SHO_TheLWord
or if
@paramountco
/
@Showtime
can create another show just for them (franchise!) then cool! i just want to see their iconic, epic love story continue. 🙏🏻
ok i re-tried to make this kiss a bit more visible. this was the best i could do. they really needed a cinematographer who realizes not everyone has a damn home theater to watch this show. anyone with eyes can see this was too dark & so badly lit. anyway. here’s my try.🤷🏻♀️
jordan’s face 🤣
“tina” squeezing her nose & scraping a stain on “angie”’s shirt. parents judging without saying the words. so funny. i wonder if laurel, jordan & jennifer cracked up bc this was so perfectly real & hysterical how “angie”’s mom’s double teamed her. 🤣🙏🏻
when i see people saying “co-parenting” doesn’t mean bette & tina are getting back together, i say “have you seen season 4 & 5?!” especially 5…where they literally use Angie as an excuse to be alone together. please. 😌
bette & tina were together for roughly 13 min 30 seconds in “lights! camera! action!” unlike their wedding ep in GenQ, the writing, the pacing, the allowing of the scenes to play out without insane editing made a huge difference. their actual love scenes were 2 min each! 🔥🍯
so great to share this insane evening with these amazing people. i know them all & know their names!! yay!! 💖🤗
a pre-chaos pic!
i won’t tag just in case but please reply if you’d like! 🙏🏻
the fact that we are seeing more of Tina's POV in this episode when it comes to her feelings for Bette & how she is seeing Bette is a freaking breath of fresh air. I mean, Tina being the catalyst for Bette's growth & her 10K purchase. YES YES YES, Tina Kennard.🙏
@LaurelLHolloman
THEY SAID “FRIES” AT THE SAME TIME!
😱🍟
THEY’RE NOT EVEN FACING EACH OTHER! IMAGINE BEING THAT IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER.
They’re INSANE. i love them so much. 🥹💖
one of THE BEST THINGS that happened tonight? meeting Kelsey, our favorite non-intern who runs
@SHO_TheLWord
! I walked through the crowded street outside Henrietta Hudson, I was stopped & asked "are you julesy?" she introduced herself. I was HONORED to meet her. here's Kelsey!💖
i listened to the interview w Elizabeth Ziff. here’s what i got: she had no “writer” training/experience. she wrote the she-bar ep (!). she liked writing for bette. JB is a great actor. jennifer told her she was a great writer. still friends w jennifer, laurel, rachel & pam. 🤔
ok. re-re-tried to make this kiss a little more visible. i think this is the best i can do. usually like my gifs to be better quality but…it’s a bit better. 😘
happy sunday all.
some love for this cute little, post “i love you” declaration by the both of them kiss.
…the little smile at the end (was this a surprise kiss?) 🥹😘 i need all the scripts for season 5, please.
good morning. 🥰
ok maybe i stopped the episode when this happened and i took a pic of the screen. maybe i did that. because. look at bette porter so in love with tina kennard. please help me. sorry.
dear tibette fandom friends: your opinion matters. what doesn't matter is when you became a fan. whether it was in 2004 or 2023 or any time in between. as long as you're a fan. as long as you love & support JB/LH & tibette & you have fun. periodt. bonus pts for sense of humor.😌
