TweetTalk, was once again, set ablaze.

Set ablaze with hype and feverish excitement that is!

Fans of [The Curator], even many of those who tended to have a habit of simply being observers, were actively engaging in many of the posts and comment sections regarding the first episode of [The Curator]’s 10th season.

From posts like; Kyle Kestis has done it again!, to Give Me Episode Two Now! and Who’s hyped for the rest of the season?! , almost everyone’s feed was packed with multiple posts regarding the new season of [The Curator].

However, the post that had the most engagement, was a post from Queen Galactica that read;

WE OWE KYLE KESTIS A PUBLIC APOLOGY!

Oh no you don’t!

Come back here!

You and me included, we know what we did wrong!

Cynical, brash, and most of all, petty!

That was how most of us behaved, back when we heard back that my dear Kyle Kestis was casted for the role of The 10th Curator.

Yes, he’s now my favorite actor and I’m now an unabashed fan girl! (I’m a hypocrite I know).

But that aside, we severely underestimated just how phenomenal Kyle Kestis as an actor is.

Maybe his role as Alex Hunt, had us believe that he was only going to be playing the same brooding, serious role we had loved in the 5th but had gotten stale with time…

Yet, against all odds, without leaving a single stone unturned, Kyle delivered in spectacular fashion, showing us just why he was casted for the titular role despite being the youngest to take up the mantle!

Not even a single one of us was expecting a chaotic iteration.

But you and I both watched it and we saw, with our very own eyes that chaotic, suited The Curator’s persona, very much so.

As a result, [The Curator], despite being such an old show, felt so fresh to watch!

Now, with our show revived from the depths of where it had once shriveled in, I think it’s high time I also give mad props to a few people.

Thank you Jasmine Faye for an interesting companion in the form of Kiera Snow. Your acting, as always, has always been chef’s kiss.

Accolades to you Tiana Rivers, for that midas touch in every project you lay your hands upon. You, despite being more infamous than famous, have always been a fantastic director in my opinion.

Kudos to you Barry Goodman, for being dependable as heck! You sir, are amazing!

And a big, big thank you to Jon Quentin for giving us a new, fun, engaging story, all around!

But more than that, far more than that, thank you Quentin, for an excellent, casting choice in the form of that handsome hunk of a human being (I’m swooning as I type).

Which is why, the biggest thanks, goes to the man himself!

Thank you Kyle for delivering in the most beautiful, amazing, fantastic and awe-inspiring way possible and I apologize, genuinely for underestimating your skills as an actor!

You, you handsome, glorious, majestic man, are brilliant!

I’m so looking forward to the next episodes this season, knowing you’ll keep delivering!

Also, in case I haven’t made it clear with this post, my dear Kyle deserves a public apology (especially from you extremists who went ham in his DM’s!)

Now line up everyone!

Que those public apologies!

The post from Dahlia, or better known by her internet persona Queen Galactica, now with over 5.7 million engagements, 8.9K comments, 85.4K retweets, 599.8K likes, was still the top post on everything regarding the 10th season of the show.

And yes, most of the comments in the comments sections, included a crap ton of fans, shouting out to Kyle for a fantastic job well done.

It was unequivocal now.

Kyle Kestis was perfectly casted for the role of The 10th Curator.

Princess Peach: Haa~… the view from here looks stunning. Love to see our cinnamon roll slowly going universal… Now line the fuck up with your apologies before we fold your asses like origami papers!

WeDoABitOfTrolling: Alright you little punks! You heard the lady! Line the fuck up and give your apologies, right freakin’ now before I bash thy heads in like a piñata!! #PublicApologyToKK!

Wandering Denizen: @Princess Peach; @WeDoABitOfTrolling; Man, you two are always everywhere…

Mamma Mia: I swear you both must share the same brain cells @Princess Peach; @WeDoABitOfTrolling. Also, just like they both said, apologize you little shits!

Boy_By_The_Table: @Mamma Mia; I’m sorry ok! I messed up! And even though I know he probably wouldn’t see it, I apologize @KyleKestis! Please continue to give us a brilliant, chaotic, 10th Curator!

Peter_Writes_Fantasy: There was one singular reason I was certain Kyle would make a fantastic Curator… and that was the fact that he had indirectly said it once on the talk show with Emma that his favorite series was [The Curator]. That alone, was enough for me to trust in his decision to take up the mantle. And I was right! Kyle’s a brilliant Curator.

Fashonista Gaga: Is no one going to talk about how The 10th Curator, easily has the best outfit amongst all of his iterations?! Now I understand why Kyle was declaring to keep the long coat in that clip from three months ago!

Adam With An A: One of my buddies who has a relative who worked as an extra on the set of show, said that so many moments from the last scenes were all improvs from Kyle himself. Dude’s amazing! #PublicApologyToKK!

Kali-Destroyer: Yeah @ Adam With An A. I also read an article just a few minutes ago regarding that!

The 78th Curator: Kyle had such a big hurdle to clear coming onto the show even as no one had high hopes for him or the show itself and yet, once again, I’m amazed at how he cleared and landed the fall with such aplomb! So yeah, you all better give him that public apology ’cause he fuggin’ deserves every one of it! #PublicApologyToKK!

Annie Are You Okay?: The suspense from the first episode is killing me! I want episode two now!! That said, you culprits better not skimp on those apologies!!!

Toxic_Watcher 99: @Annie Are You Okay?; As much as I’d like to admit that I was wrong, my pride just won’t let me…

WaifuWithARocketLauncher: @ Toxic_Watcher 99; C’mon. Do it. I believe in you. You got this 🙂 … (Reloads rocket launcher maliciously).

DumblingDore: See. I said it from the onset. We should’ve just waited to see if Kyle was actually good for the role instead of lambasting him back then but no, y’all were just hell bent on being haters! Man I love to see it when an actor gets his due accolades. #PublicApologyToKK!

The 100th Curator: Kyle be living that protagonist life at the moment. Suddenly, even my parents who are boomers, know him in just a few hours! Yes, they too are also fans of [The Curator] who’ve been watching it since their late twenties. You should’ve seen them practically grinning from ear to ear as they watched the first episode this morning. #PublicApologyToKK!

Kyle’s Girlfriend: Can I pretty please be The Horologium?!! I want you @KyleKestis to call me “Sexy, brilliant dame!” too!

Kyle’s Girlfriend 2.0: Me two!!

Kyle’s Girlfriend 3.0: Make that three!!!

HolyWater_&_Bonk Dispenser: Here, ladies’ upstairs. Have a bucket of holy water and a thunderous rain of bonks!

ManFromMars: I must admit, I had basically zero expectations when Kyle was revealed to be the 10th Curator… and how utterly wrong I was. What a brilliant Curator he turned out to be!

As Oliver kept scrolling through more and more of the messages on the TweetTalk post with an amused smile on his features, he soon raised his head up from the couch by the window, squinting with a slightly annoyed expression this time.

‘They just won’t quit…’ he inwardly commented with a frown.

The paparazzi standing outside Kyle’s fence, had been around since 10:30 am in the morning.

And now, it was nearing 1:00 pm…

Yet, instead of their numbers dwindling, they only increased by the hour.

As Oliver was focusing on this though, he didn’t realize when Kyle who had made progress with the lyrics of the wedding song, casually switched on his phone and got up from the bean bag.

Noticing his ward’s movement a few seconds too late, the last thing Oliver saw as Kyle walked past him to open the door, was a peculiar yet genuinely mischievous glint in his sapphire irises.

It was the same mischievous glint he had when he had been teasing him about Tiana a few days ago and also the same one he had, back at GrooveFest 10 last year when he had been messing with him on his birthday with his dark jokes.

This peculiar gaze of his, although not a commonplace thing, usually indicated that Kyle was in an extremely high-spirited mood… and so was his need to be exuberant and slightly, impish.

Was it because of the success of [The Curator]?

Or was it because of how elated he was while writing the lyrics to the wedding song?

Or presumably, was it because of both?

Oliver genuinely believed it was both as at the moment.

As a result, the agent, having known his ward while also being in the closest proximity to him for more than two years now, had a very strong idea of what Kyle was up to.

That was why, instead of stopping him, Oliver instead, moved to another couch for a better viewing angle, an intrigued expression on his features.

Kyle, now with his phone in hand, was about to troll the paparazzi.
