Chapter 18 – Acquisition Hypothesis

@gottiewrites 31/08/14

I’ve spent the last day looking for any trace of Rob on the dark web.I’m very aware that time might be running out for this essay, as the things I’m uncovering seem to be getting more and more illegal. I wouldn’t be surprised if this blog gets filed with a genuine cease and desist notice before long. But until that happens, I’m going to keep posting.

I am so frustrated and confused by this whole thing. Everything I learn seems to just raise more questions. I know that I’m so close to an answer. This must all link together, somehow. But how? What is this all about?

It’s 3am, and I’ve been reading forum pages all day, so I’m going to go to bed and try to work this out tomorrow. If any of you have any suggestions on what the heck they’re playing at here, I would really, really appreciate it.

Meanwhile, Nathan’s break from filming has been extended by another week, according to the tabloids. Clearly I’m not the only one over-stretching themselves. He must be sick or something. He needs to take it easy.

– This is Gottie, signing off as she falls asleep on the keyboard.

Anonymous I live in LA and yesterday I saw Rob walking down a street with someone at around 6pm. He looked really upset. I took some pics (imgur.com) but I had to do it from the other side of the road, so they’re quite blurry.

I followed behind them for a little, because I had some time to kill before I could get my bus anyway. I caught a little bit of what they were saying:

Rob: You haven’t at all?

The other man: Not since last week. Nate does this a lot though, doesn’t he?

Rob: I just don’t know what to say to him. It won’t make any difference, he’s already made up his mind.

Man: I think he’s driven off to do his usual poor-me routine.

Rob: Do you think there’s a chance it’s something to worry about, though?

After that, they got in a cab and I had to run for my bus. I don’t know if any of that helps, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Keep up the good work, Gottie!

gottiewrites this is interesting!! I wonder who the man was?

Anonymous It’s a very blurry pic, but I’m 99.9% sure that’s Bradley Saffitz, Anya’s husband! I’m a big Anya fan – look here at the candid pics of him in my blog archives. Anya also tagged a café in the same area of LA on her instagram yesterday evening, so I bet she was with him. And Brad and Rob are old family friends. He’s a talent agent – he actually got Rob the audition for the role of Jayden Ness.

gottiewrites holy shitballs. You’re right. I think it’s safe to assume that Rob and Brad are talking about Nathan’s disappearance. Nathan’s ex-wife mentioned in her tell-all interview that, “He used to go for long drives in the country when he wanted to be alone.” Could Nathan be doing something similar now – disappearing off on a trip without telling Rob where he’s going?

Thanks for flagging this up. I don’t follow anything about Anya (she kind of annoys me a lot) so I had no idea. I wish I’d thought to check up on her sooner, I bet theres loads of useful stuff on her accounts!

Anonymous this is the weirdest case of gender inequality I’ve ever seen lol. Support women, gottie!! hack THEIR accounts too! Don’t be so sexist!

Robstan rob looks really upset in that photo on the street. that was taken after Nathan disappeared. He must have been so worried, searching everywhere to find him.

gottiewrites maybe! personally I think rob looks more angry than scared here, but each to their own! I’m just speculating, like all of us. You can see whatever you want in the picture.

Okdoomer he’s probably raging because you keep posting this stuff online too. That would be enough to drive anyone to the brink of insanity. rob’s twitter has gone completely silent. Something is definitely going on

Anonymous does brad have any social media? I see him on anya’s insta a lot, hanging out with her and our boys. They all went to see a play together a few weeks ago, before Nathan stopped going to set. And he had a walk-on role in S01E12 of L&N, right? He was that zombie in the white make-up with the missing eyeball. He’s a pretty rubbish actor tbh, but its cute that anya got her hubby a cameo.

Girlwiththepearliphone oh yeah!! I remember that! he was in the behind the scenes blu-ray extra wasn’t he? In the bit where Rob, Nathan and Anya are giving a tour of the set. Here, at 08:45 mins in:

Rob: Here we have the props department, putting the finishing touches on a very fetching zombie.

Brad: [sitting in a make-up chair, getting prosthetics glued over his eyes] Hello! I can’t actually see you!

Nathan: This is the kind of torment our actors have to go through to give you the quality content you’ve come to expect.

Brad: All in a day’s work for a professional.

Anya: I’m so glad I don’t have any prosthetics. I get an extra hour’s sleep before call time.

Brad: Is that our banshee queen?

Anya: Yep! Looking good, Brad. I brought you a croissant.

Brad: You are my saviour.

Rob: Over here, we have the costume! Look at this bikini  over here – Nathan will be wearing it in the next episode.

Nathan: That is an outrageous lie! It’s for the after-party.

Anonymous if I were trying to get bitcoins into real cash, I’d spend it on the deep web on drugs and get them sent to an Airbnb I rented under a fake name. Then I’d pay some kid to sell them on the street for cash. foolproof. Rob’s a pussy.

  1. nathan is definitely dead—the interview the resurfaced was from june, not a recent one. his publicists are just trying to pretend that they haven’t misplaced their star actor

    i’m suspicious of both rob and gottie. main suspicion seems to be on rob, but his discussion with his theater buddy seemed to be wondering where nathan was too. he either killed gottie or gottie killed him. unsure. i will say, if gottie is dead, then i have no idea why nathan or rob would be continuing to pretend to be here. digging up dirt on themselves seems like a bad idea…..

    i have no idea haha. very well done story!! it really does remind me of fandom discourse that i’ve seen, and of course the hypocritical double standard of fans who pry into creator’s personal lives (“no trust me bro I’m not parasocial I’m just trying to force them out of the closet for GOOD and PURE reasons!! analyzing people’s behavior to try and ‘Catch’ them being gay is actually woke and good!”). oh the joys of fandom

  2. This is maddeningly wild and engaging. It’s so well done that I am having trouble discerning what is real and what is fiction and what is fake real and what is fake fiction…am I even real anymore? The only thing I know is that I cannot stop reading and theorizing.

  3. The Galaxies again… this connects somehow probably but for the life of me I don’t know how. Rob couldn’t have been at the game if he was at the screening, and it seems like Nathan missed the game for the screening, while Brad made it. I’m so confused and loving every second of it.

  4. this almost certainly doesn’t matter, but that picture was taken in melbourne, australia. I am Aussie and was tipped off by the presence of both the Woolworth’s logo (that loopy W next to the sign for the “metro”- if you look closer you’ll see it’s photoshopped-in text and what people are walking into is a Woolworth’s store- there are signs on the door reading “don’t forget your bag!” and “every tenth coffee free if you use your Rewards card”) and commonwealth bank, two companies that i thought were only in Australia. After some quick googling I found out that although Commonwealth Bank has branches in the US and other locations, Woolworth’s is only found in Australia. I then googled “Home @ Flinders” and discovered that it is an apartment building in Melbourne. There are pictures of the building available on google images and from that you can see that it is the same building from the photo here.
    As i said before, I DEEPLY doubt this is relevant given that Lauren James probably just took a stock photo of people crossing a street, and I don’t mean to be creepy at all by looking this up- all the info was freely available online, i found this all out in like three minutes using google. i haven’t finished reading the story yet, i just thought people might like to know. Loving the story so far! 🙂
