New York State

ACTOR Kevin Spacey is facing a fresh sex abuse claim, court papers show.

The allegation against the US double Oscar-winner was lodged in the High Court yesterday.

Ruari Cannon, who has waived his anonymity, is suing Spacey, 65, and two organisations connected to South London’s Old Vic Theatre, where the star was artistic director from 2003 to 2015.

No further details of the allegations are available.

In 2023, at Southwark crown court, Spacey was cleared of charges relating to alleged historic sex offences against four men.

One of the men, who cannot be identified, has since sued Spacey.

The House of Cards star has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and criminal wrongdoing.

Spacey won Oscars for The Usual Suspects in 1996 and American Beauty in 2000.

Previously, speaking to Piers Morgan on his Uncensored show, the House of Cards actor broke down while discussing his fall from grace.

As Piers asked where the star is now, Spacey said: “Well, it’s funny you asked that question, because this week, where I have been living in Baltimore, is being foreclosed on. My house is being sold at auction.”

He explained how he’s relocating back to Baltimore and having to keep his possessions in storage.”

He also told Piers he had no money left after paying his bills.

KIM Kardashian reckons she knows exactly how to make women’s bums just swell — as she launches a collection to expand their rears.

The reality TV star, 44, who has a famously voluptuous backside, dressed up as the Fairy Butt Mother — wearing a nude leotard, high heels and angel wings — in an online ad for her new Skims range.

Kim posted on X: ‘Five years in the making, our ultimate butt-enhancing ­solutions will magically make your dream butt appear’[/caption]

Included in the Ultimate Butt collection are padded shorts for £78 plus £88 leggings, which claim to add two inches of volume.

A £131 bodysuit is described as a “boob job and butt lift in one”.

Kim posted on X: “Five years in the making, our ultimate butt-enhancing ­solutions will magically make your dream butt appear. (no squats required).”

This new collection is the next instalment of Kim’s meteoric rise in the business world.

Over the past two decades, she has gone from Paris Hilton’s stylist to a billionaire businesswoman, and Kim has reinvented her look more times than we can count.

She has experimented with pink and platinum blonde hair and has been accused of cultural appropriation for wearing braids.

But her risk-taking paid off as she has been given one of the most coveted spots in the industry — the cover of American Vogue — three times.

Kim co-founded the firm in September 2019.

Her then-husband, Kanye West, was credited as being her “Ghost Creative Director” and for creating the company logo.

The Thursday letters page is upset at the decline of GAME and physical releases, as one reader thinks Indiana Jones And The Great Circle is slightly overrated.

Healthy state
So that was actually a decent State of Play for once. The pacing was poor, because I was convinced it was going to be a boring one for at least half the time, but it had a good ending and while I’m not as big a fan of Returnal as GC is, those magic words ‘new single-player only IP’ were music to my ears.

I also liked that Chinese Dark Souls/Devil May Cry thing set in London, the stop motion horror game [The Midnight Walk – GC], the new Onimusha, and Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance. What does worry me though is that I think Saros was the only new Sony-made game, except for the Days Gone remaster.

So, we’re still only finding out what their developers are doing at a snail’s pace. But if that’s because they’ve all been moved off live service games and are now doing proper single-player games instead then that’s something I can live with.

I’d give the State of Play a B+, let’s see if we can keep the ball running and the next one’s good too. Although I guess it won’t be, because they seemed to say the next was going to be dedicated to Borderlands 4 only.

Acceptable grab
Can’t help but agree with the reader who wants to see what the ‘real’ next game from FromSoftware is. This Elden Ring spin-off sounds like such a minor thing. I don’t want to call it a cash grab, because I love all their stuff, but I will be shocked if that’s not what it ends up being known as.

I don’t mind. I’m happy to give From cash even if it does seem a bit of a push. The mid-budget price tag certainly makes it clear, to me at least, that Nightreign is not a full game and just something they put out there as a quick money-maker. Someone suggested it probably started as DLC and that sounds believable.

It’s out in May though and so hopefully that leaves things clear for a reveal of something new at the Summer Game Fest in June, which I believe is where Elden Ring got its debut. I don’t really mind what the game is, but I’d be especially happy if it was something new and not a sequel or remake. Maybe the sci-fi Soulslike that people have been calling for, for years?
Limpton

Mostly great circle
Just reached the credits on Indiana Jones And The Great Circle on Xbox. I think they absolutely nailed the Indiana Jones aesthetic and feel, and the slapstick combat was fun. I appreciated the non-linear level design, particularly in the first couple of locations, which really felt worth exploring.

The side missions were also more inventive fare than you normally get in games these days and felt genuinely worthwhile. I experienced a few bugs, the worst being when the game crashed at the end of a cut scene that I had to rewatch it in its entirety (it was a lonnngggg one), but generally speaking it was all very slick.

Overall, I enjoyed it but I felt like the game dragged a bit in the final quarter, so I wasn’t quite as enamoured with it as some, probably an 8/10 for me (the very last fight, in particular, I thought was really naff.) Shout out to Tony Todd, very poignant ending given his recent passing.

So good I bought the company
For the first time in my life, I’ll be buying a game that’s actually going to make me money when I buy it.

I’m so convinced of GTA 6’s success that I bought shares in Take-Two Interactive a couple of weeks ago. It’s already turned out to be quite lucrative because following an earnings report from them late last week, I’m sitting on a 14% return. The share price jumped because their losses were not as much as expected(!).

Imagine the share price jump when the next trailer drops, let alone when GTA 6 comes out.

The returns I get when I eventually sell up won’t be life changing, but to think that the game I’m so excited to play is going to end up funding our next family holiday is pretty nuts.

Limited release
I’m surprised at how little Alan Wake 2 has sold. 2 million seems to be very low for a game that got so many awards, and which seemed to be constantly in the news around the time it was released. Then I find out that not only did it not get a proper physical release but it’s not even on Steam – I didn’t realise that.

Did they not want the game to succeed? Was this some kind of secret tax write-off? On top of that I don’t remember any actual marketing for it at the time, so it seems like they spent all that time and money making it and then just sent it out to die.
Tacle

GC: It was published by Epic Games, so it’s not going to be on Steam for ‘a long time.’

Physically upset
My first reaction on reading the story about GAME scalping Pokémon cards is not the fact that they were doing something wrong but the fact that they still exist at all. I haven’t set foot in one for over a decade and haven’t seen one in the flesh in what must be two or three years.

I’m not particularly sad to see GAME go but it is a shame that it means that games are basically invisible in any physical shop nowadays. I think maybe John Lewis and some larger supermarkets carry them but I’m not sure and I haven’t noticed them myself in quite some time.

And before you say, ‘So what?’ the very obvious answer to that is that it means that physical games in general are going away and so Sony can suddenly cut access to all your games at a moment’s notice and not care at all that it happened or bother to give any compensation to ordinary people.

There’s no one set of people to blame here, especially as a lot of it is down on fans being too quick to embrace digital downloads, despite the obvious problem, but the end result is that we now have far less control over the things we buy.

Imagine if a GAME manager broke into your house and stole back the game you bought from them for a couple of days. That’s exactly what Sony did at the weekend and yet nothing will be done about it.
Campbell

A long shot
I wonder if the GTA 6 trailer will be shown off in the State of Play. Sony has done a few deals with them, like free GTA Online money and it’s getting to a point where a new trailer needs to drop.

Normally Sony will give a few hints what’s in their broadcast but this time, nothing. I wonder if today is the day the internet goes hot because GTA 6 Trailer 2 is shown in all its glory.
David

GC: You’ll know by the time you read this, but there were certainly no rumours of it beforehand.

Forgotten anniversary
So according to the This Day in Gaming section on the GameFAQs site, which I check every single day, Super Mario Bros. 3 is 35 years old.

I didn’t get to play it until 1995, via the Super Mario All-Stars pak on SNES.

I would later re-play it via the Game Boy Advance version.

It’s a shame Nintendo didn’t celebrate this milestone, though re-releasing this game that has already been released eight times wouldn’t be as special, so maybe they should have made some cool MyNintendo merchandise.

Or even better, and something I would absolutely love, is to re-release the Super Mario Bros. 3 LCD Watch.

I really wanted one as a kid but never got one, though I did play one.

Buying one off eBay is a no-no as a second-hand one will mean wearing others’ sweat!

Bleugh!
LeighDappa

GC: Super Mario Bros. 3 will be 37 years old on October 23. That’s the original Japanese release date and all Nintendo will care about.

Inbox also-rans
It would be just Sega’s luck if this Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds managed to come out at the same time as the new Mario Kart. Poor Sega, they never seem to catch a break.
Lambo

The rumours the Switch 2 can be played upside down brings back good memories of the Atari Lynx, which could flip the screen for left-handed people, if I recall correctly. Here’s hoping for Blue Thunder and Todd’s Adventures In Slime World ports to Switch 2…

Arsenal are reeling from another injury nightmare as they prepare to return to Premier League action against Leicester City this weekend.

Mikel Arteta and his squad have been out in Dubai for a mid-season training camp, hoping to replicate the huge impact the break had on his squad last season.

But they will return to the UK with another major headache following news that Kai Havertz has picked up a hamstring injury that could rule him out of the rest of the season.

It will leave Arteta without his first-choice front three with Bukayo Saka and Garbriel Martinelli not expected to return from injury until March.

Saka was with the group out in Dubai as he stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury that required surgery in December.

Martinelli meanwhile was forced off in his side’s Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United. Havertz’s devastating injury completes a hat-trick of hamstring issues for the Arsenal front line.

Gabriel Jesus is also out for the rest of the campaign with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

It leaves Arteta with the options of Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling in attack, with Ethan Nwaneri now likely to see out the season in a more advanced role.

One small positive for the Arsenal boss is Ben White is nearing his return to fitness.

The right-back has not featured since November after undergoing knee surgery but could be in contention to make his return against Leicester.

Predicted Arsenal XI to face Leicester

Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling

Where to watch Leicester vs Arsenal? Kick-off time and TV channel

Leicester vs Arsenal kicks off at 12:30pm on Saturday 15 February.

POPULAR fast food chain unveils fan-favourite sauces, featuring a new US-inspired flavour.

Popeyes UK is turning up the flavour with its brand-new Saucin range, bringing three bold sauces to coat its famous fried chicken.

Fans can now enjoy their hot wings or brand-new boneless chicken pieces smothered in Bold BBQ, spicy Buffalo, or the all-new Garlic parm.

The saucy new lineup lands in Popeyes restaurants nationwide is available for delivery, in-store, and via the Popeyes UK app.

The New Orleans-born brand is famous for its crispy, crunchy fried chicken, and now it’s going all in on flavour.

The Saucin’ range lets chicken lovers cover their wings and boneless bites in rich, tangy sauces for the ultimate messy, mouth-watering experience.

The new Garlic Parm sauce is making its UK debut, offering a cheesy, garlicky, and peppery twist inspired by American flavours.

Meanwhile, Bold BBQ brings a smoky-sweet kick, and Buffalo sauce delivers the heat fans crave.

Customers can enjoy the new sauces on Popeyes spicy Hot Wings or its latest Boneless chicken breast pieces, both featuring the brand’s signature Shatter Crunchin’ coating.

For those who love to ditch the bones, the new 100% fresh Boneless pieces are an easy, crispy, and juicy alternative.

After Popeyes teased the Saucin’ range last year, fans couldn’t wait for it to hit the menu.

Now, it’s officially launching – and starting at just £5.99, it’s set to be a huge hit.

Dave Hoskins, Head of Food at Popeyes UK, said: “Our fans love our dips, so turning them into full-on sauce-covered wings and boneless pieces was a no-brainer. Plus, we’re introducing Garlic Parm for the first time – the ultimate indulgence for chicken lovers!”.

TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday’s action confident of building the bank ahead of another big weekend.

Back a horse by clicking their odds below.

BUCKSY DES EPEIRES (2.40 Leicester, nap)

Looks a typical French import that Venetia Williams does so well with. He was given time to settle in at the yard with a few spins over hurdles but he has really come into his own since jumping a fence. This six-year-old kicked off with a smooth success at Ascot in November before improving on that form despite finishing only second at Doncaster last time. He was behind The Kalooki Kid who went on to land the Scottish Champion Chase at Musselburgh earlier this month. That was a pretty smart effort and Charlie Deutsch gets back on board which is always a plus over fences.

GREEN SKY (1.40 Newcastle, nb)

Was third in a big field at Navan last time and should be too strong for these rivals. She stayed on well over the two-mile trip and won’t mind any cut in the ground. This looks a good chance to get off the mark.

CASA LOUPI (1.20 Sandown, treble)

Was impressive when scoring over course and distance last time. He is back with just a 3lb rise and he can hit the target again.

DRAMATIC LICENSE (4.30 Newcastle, Lucky 15)

Can give the double green silks a double on the Gosforth Park card. He has shown loads of promise when hitting the frame in two bumpers at Roscommon and Downpatrick. He was almost knocked over in the closing stages last time and can make up for that bad luck here.

REFORM’S “war on Net Zero” will bring energy bills down for millions of households, the party has claimed.

Deputy leader Richard Tice said a proposed windfall tax on the renewable industry could make families £350 a year better off.

PA

Deputy leader Richard Tice said a windfall tax on the renewable industry could make families better off[/caption]

Plans also include to reverse the inheritance tax raid on farmers – except for those who use land for solar panels.

Party deputy Tice issued a new set of policies if they enter government saying the green drive was “the greatest act of self-harm”.

He laid down the gauntlet to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband who vowed to bring down energy prices by £300 before the election.

Mr Tice said: “They’ve given up saying whether the bills will come down, because they won’t under Net Zero, they will go up relentlessly in April this year.

“The energy suppliers are currently forecasting a further increase from January of over 5% that’ll be 16% increase from July last year.

“Their bills are not coming down. If we do what we say, we recover, give or take, £10 billion a year. That’s about three to £350 per household per year.”

Tice said the drive for Net Zero was to blame for the industrialisation of Britain.

Plans also include new legislation to ensure National Grid take down all new pylons and put them underground.

A new law will stop companies involved in putting them up can’t pay shareholders until this is finished.

Mr Tice added they the Reform plans will help bring down bills and lower the cost of living.

Greenpeace last night said Reform’s policies would “ring hollow to people struggling with energy bills”.

HAVING been a tarot reader for nearly 30 years, love remains the enduring and priority topic that I discuss with clients.

I have used my tarot cards to give you a full love reading, for each star sign this Valentine’s, that will give you guidance whatever your love situation is right now. Are you ready?

GETTY

Aries

The Emperor: Be yourself and take charge

The Emperor, funnily enough, is YOUR sign’s card in the tarot so this is a strong message to BE YOURSELF. Don’t try to please, indulge, over-compromise or shape-shift to keep something going, start something up, or mend something you’ve lost. They either like you for you, or they do not.

If you’re single, then maybe another equally strong and vivacious Aries is coming your way this Spring. This is a person who mirrors your passion and intensity so things will never be dull, in fact they could get downright thrilling!

If you’re attached, then your sex life is ready for a lustful, animalistic shot in the arm this Valentine’s. Do something forward and bold that they will never expect from you! Take charge in the bedroom and lay out your fantasy, and tell them what to do. Open up a new realm of power play.

Taurus

King of Wands: Passion is your purpose

The King of Wands is an adventurous, purposeful, passionate, and exciting character. This is who you’re playing this Valentine’s so it’s a nudge to spark it up, get lively, plan something exciting, and take some chances. What do you want to happen in your love life? MAKE IT HAPPEN. Set a purpose and take steps towards it.

If you’re single, then a charismatic, slightly older, warm and energetic Fire sign is heading your way- Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. This is going to be a very physical attraction, a highly charged encounter that enlivens you, body mind and soul.

If you’re attached, then take your partner on an adventure- be it a dirty weekend, day out, bedroom escapade or holiday. Get outside of ordinary reality and set a scene that feels adventurous and playful. Sex toys are welcome allies in spicing things up, explore this realm for an immediate kick start.

Gemini

The Star: Make a wish

The Star is the tarot’s dream come true card, a literal wish pass from the Universe, granting you your heart’s desire. Gemini, what is that? NOW is the time to manifest your dream lover / love life. Visualise it powerfully and in detail, create an affirmation that encapsulates it, say it daily and take steps to create, design, live your dream love life… it’s ALL possible and it happens NOW.

If you’re single, then a fellow Air element Aquarius is on the cards. This person is a dream match for you- intellectually and emotionally. You ‘get’ each other and feel immediately attracted. This could be ‘the one’…

If you’re attached, then bring your fantasy side into the bedroom. You’re known for having a big imagination, what goes on in there is better than anything they could see on a screen! So, share the story, role plays, techniques, interplay, and intimate touching you think about in your wilder dreams. Everything you wish for can be made reality, Gemini.

Cancer

Five of Swords: Get to the root cause of what’s going on

The Five of Swords is about tension, conflict, and disagreement. It suggests there is a fly in your love ointment that needs identifying and fishing out, at root cause level. Don’t carry on arguing or sulking or hoping for change… get into the nitty gritty and find out what is causing the issue, whether this is with a partner or simply within your own psyche and self image.

If you’re single, you might meet an Air sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) who absolutely infuriates you initially. Your first impression could well be negative, you might meet during an argument or stressful situation. Don’t write them off! Give them a second chance.

If you’re attached, then your sex life could be defined by some angry break-up / make-up sex this Valentine’s. A powerful ‘can’t live with you or without you’ tussle that is as raw and intense as any encounter you’ve ever had. Maybe it’s the sex that’s kept you together? Maybe the sex can help to heal whatever has been going wrong?

Leo

The World: Turn the page, you’re ready for the next chapter

The World is the tarot’s final card and therefore it can represent endings… albeit ones which are the embryos of new beginnings. In a relationship reading it definitely hints you’re reaching the end of the current phase or chapter, be that an era of a relationship or singledom. Don’t fear the future, it’s going to be better than the present. You are ready to move onwards and upwards, don’t cling to where you are.

If you’re single, then you’re about to encounter an inspiring, ambitious, sophisticated and globally connected Capricorn. This is someone you can imagine building that lusted-after ‘power couple’ vibe with, they are more than a match for you. In fact, even better, a challenge!

If you’re attached, then you’re ready for a new routine, foreplay game, level of intimacy and imagination. Things are good (Leos are very adept lovers) but they could be even better. You want to reinvent your sex life to suit where you’re both at and what you both want. Do some homework! What’s hot, what’s new, what’s working for others, what’s suited to your dual needs… introduce fresh thinking.

Virgo

The Moon: You are a love enigma, solve the puzzle!

The Moon is about secrets, illusions, mysteries, and intuitions. It suggests that there’ll be revelations, epiphanies, and new insights heading your way this Valentine’s about your love life. Be nosey! Be provocative! Ask questions, question yourself, probe, analyse, validate, discuss. Get to the bottom of who you are in a relationship, what you want, and what has brought you here. You are a romantic enigma (one thing on the surface… another underneath), so solve your own code.

If you’re single, then a loving, loyal, sexual, and moody Cancerian lover is due to enter your realm and change everything. They are as emotional as you are practical. They bring the heart to your ideas, they put the feeling back into your realm. Let them ‘soften’ you.

If you’re attached, then you and your partner might benefit from blindfolding each other and taking turns to explore each other’s body and hot spots. Find new ways of creating shivers and thrills through your touch and attention. Discover what can turn them on when it’s just you doing the work, and vice versa. Unlock your pleasure zones.

GETTY

Libra

Temperance: Things are changing

Temperance is about finding certainty and grounding energy after a long phase of change and interference and new news. You have felt unsettled in your love life, but this Valentine’s marks the beginning of the ‘new normal’ and you feeling much more at home with how things are. You have changed a lot in the past year, and so too have the dynamics of your romances and intimate relationships.

If you’re single, then expect to be swept off your feet by a Sagittarius, a lively and outspoken character who is perhaps not your usual ‘type’ on paper! You are different, so your partner choice is going to change too!

If you’re attached, then play around with the idea of letting each other take turns in leading the action in the bedroom- what, when, and where. Perhaps you take turns in worshipping and serving each other’s deepest desires and needs. Perhaps you create new scenarios or environments to be stimulated by. To and fro, back and forth, get used to switching leads.

Scorpio

Nine of Wands: You can’t change what you won’t acknowledge

The Nine of Wands brings healing and progressive energy to your relationship realm- mending bridges, fixing damage, healing wounds, overcoming stagnations or blocks. Nothing is as hard or onerous as you fear. Everything can be fixed… but you have to acknowledge the issue/s first. So, make the next two months a phase of healing and repair. You will be amazed what is restored.

If you’re single, you will find yourself sought out by a caring, compassionate and helping Earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) who fast becomes an ally as well as a romantic interest. This person is on your side, backs you up 100%, and this feels so wonderful.

If you’re attached, then talk to your partner about the things you’ve learned, changed, or discovered about yourself sexually. Share the journey you’ve both been on, from losing your virginity to now (without dredging up exes and past lives…), focusing on what has changed in your desires and needs. Sharing this can help you re-align and recalibrate your sex life to suit both of you.

Sagittarius

Three of Swords: Once bitten, twice shy

The Three of Swords is a card of betrayal, cruelty, relationship wounds and turmoil. You have been treated badly in your past and perhaps those wounds still open and itch now and again, perhaps it still feels very raw and tender. This Valentine’s is about healing, processing, releasing those pent-up feelings and looking to the future.

If you’re single, then this card is a strong signal to sever ties with people from the past who’ve hurt you (but still linger in your inbox). Cut off the toxic, game-playing, unavailable connections that hold you back or down. Total liberation from the past is the goal. And then… maybe… an interesting Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) will emerge.

If you’re attached, it’s possible there’s something you need to discuss, change, or remove from your relationship with your partner that gets in the way of enjoying the sex life you both yearn for. Maybe it’s a habit, a scheduling issue, an outside influence, a circumstance or environmental problem. Whatever creates distance, difficulty, or tension between you physically… talk about it and find a solution.

Capricorn

The Wheel of Fortune: A powerful omen of transformation

All change, Capricorn! The Wheel of Fortune is a powerful omen of transformation. And your love life will be the focus of these renewing energies and unseen forces. It will all end well, so don’t worry, but also don’t be surprised if it’s a bumpy ride at times. You can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs, right?

If you’re single, then a host of star signs could be queuing to get closer to you (and maybe you’re dallying with more than one!)- Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Maybe this is where all the transformation energy is focused, in choosing the right suitor for you right now.

If you’re attached, then shake it all up! Make Valentine’s the season of experimentation. Do a bit of research and pick up new ideas that appeal to you or you think your partner will go for, and bring them into the bedroom (or wherever you’re at it). The theme is ‘change’. Be different and feel differently. Maybe you make a new rule: for Valentine’s, each sexual encounter will include four new things! Can you keep it up?

GETTY

Aquarius

Seven of Cups: Imagination is the key

If you can dream it, you can do it. The Seven of Cups is about imagination, creativity, manifesting what lies in your fantasies, and that applies across the board in your love life- from sex to social life, family commitments to date night. Tell them what you want. Bring your visions to the real world. Let loose your thoughts and ideas.

If you’re single, you’re in for a treat with a very artistic and romantic Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio). They bring out your imaginative side, they take it seriously, they encourage you to open up and share ides. And this feels so good.

If you’re attached, then your sex life will become a realm of adventure, play, and new ideas. Sex is a love language, it’s a means of expression, and you can show how you’re feeling, what you desire, who you’d like to be etc through your lovemaking. Bring costume, character, play, fantasy, toys, storytelling, and performance to the bedroom.

Pisces

The Hermit: Focus on yourself (for a change)

So, The Hermit IS a symbol of solitude and alone time. Maybe you feel you’re ready for that? Maybe you are.
However, it can also be a nudge to focus more on YOU in the relationships you’re in. What do you want, need, desire, prioritise, not like, feel tense about etc… Speak up. You are such a giver, maybe it’s time to shift the balance of focus and power.

If you’re single, then your soul mate star sign, Virgo, is hovering and waiting for your attention. This will be someone who comes across as shy, studious, clever and maybe a little aloof. They long for your gaze. So, pay attention to the quiet ones.

If you’re attached, then you should put yourself centre-stage in your lovemaking. Ask them to worship you, ask them to pleasure you and tell them what you like, show them what you like. Make Valentine’s all about sharing your current fantasies, desires, and pleasures (they can take a turn after).
