Status Updates From Lovesick Mannequins

awwww, i really do love juliana and bastien's friendship so much 🥹

last chapter we got celine's confession in front of anaïs...and now we get bastien's in front of jules. i absolutely adore these parallel moments

and oh, bastien...i love this idiot loverboy so much 💗 thank goodness for jules, who had the patience to knock some sense into him while still being the bestie he needed

"i don't think anyone in love has ever been happy. love is pain and all those poets are liars."

omg, anaïs...who hurt you? 😭

CEL ADMITTED IT. OH MY GOD???

the way i SCREAMED. i was basically at girls' night with celine and anaïs, kicking my feet, squealing into a pillow and living for every second of this conversation. aaaaaaa 🤭💗

"you and bastien are having an affai—"

OH MY GIRL ANAÏS IS BACK!!! 😭😭😭

never change, my favorite gossipmonger. i missed her so much <33

also...that kiss was— ahem, ahem.

i'll just be over here pretending i'm completely normal about it (i'm absolutely not)

WHEN ARE THEY GETTING TOGETHER??? 😭

but oh my goodness, i absolutely adored bastien's partnership idea with celine. this entire chapter was pure bliss 🥹

we finally got more of bas and cel just...talking, teasing, dreaming and spending time together, and i was smiling through the whole thing. aaaaaaa i need 200 more chapters exactly like this, pls and thank you 🩷

she knows. she just doesn't want to know. 🙂‍↔️🩷

"he was looking at her like she had been looking at the cake earlier."

well, well, well...someone's down catastrophically bad 😭🤌🏻💗

well...that escalated quickly

things got very heated this chapter... and i was just sitting there like 👁️👄👁️

oh.

OH.

now this is a hot mess. 🍿

HOLY CATHARSIS. WHAT. A. MESS.

bastien and juliana's friendship >>>>> 💌

NO, NOT HER SKETCHBOOK AAAA

oh, how i loved this chapter 11 😭🩷

bastien fussing over celine's injured hand, the effortless banter between them, and him casually calling her "mine" every other sentence...hello??? you can't just do that to me

i'm always weak for the charming flirt in fiction, especially when i know they're about to yearn their way through a slow burn. every conversation between him and celine has me giggling, and yes, i've highlighted an embarrassing number of their interactions already 🙂‍↕️ i already know i'm going to eat up every second of this slow burn ✨✨✨

the bastien-in-a-gown scene had me smiling so hard!!

he really just put on the dress and modeled for celine like it was the most natural thing in the world. even calling himself foxy lmao. 10/10, no notes. i need this scene adapted frame for frame if this ever gets a live action 🤌🏻🥹

i'm already seated for juliana and anaïs 🥹💗

jacques is out here making me fall for him with every thoughtful little gesture...and then immediately reminding me why i shouldn't 😭

sir, you had one job: listen to celine when she was opening up about the thing she's most passionate about

still rooting for his character development ⭐

the banter between celine and bastian??? chef's kiss 🤌🏻💗 i would pay good money to see bastian wearing a dress aaaaaa 😭 and jacques... what's going on with you, sir? does he like celine or am i reading too much into this 👀

i'm already in love with the premise and our characters!! paris, fashion, yearning... say less 🤌🏻💗

yessss cheaterss

grandpa got balls lmao that was funny

what do you mean i’m almost done and only have chapters left?? i don’t want it to be over😭
