Turntables - Johnica Week 2024

Summary: John and Veronica like to think that their tastes are different, but upon trading a book and a record each week, they find that they have a little more in common than they think.

Notes: Thank you so much for reading this very late submission for Johnica Week Days 1 and 2! I'd like to thank @eileen-crys / @johnica-weeks for hosting!

Ink & Orchids

Written for @johnica-weeks 2024

1975, Queen are in Japan for their tour, and John spends a day with Freddie and their guides to discover the scenery and culture. Yet, everything reminds John of his wife, who's still in London and expecting their child. A painting workshop will be able to let John pour his longing onto a canvas of rice paper.

For Johnica Week 2024, prompts Flowers: Orchids, Surprise gift! and Handmade by the other.

Obviously the whole art workshop thing is made up for this fic, but I've always wanted to get inside John's head while strolling around japan, meeting children and taking pictures of everything! I hope you'll enjoy, I wrote this in basically a day without really double-checking obsessively as I usually do 😅

#finally catching up on some reading and - AHH this was so beautiful 💕💕

Happy 49th wedding anniversary to John and Veronica Deacon! 🥰✨️👑💕

No smooches or sugary things this year (yet! 👀) but this time I wanted to finally grab the occasion to redraw this wedding meme that @anne-white-star sent me a long time ago, as the Johnica wedding! I'm sure you know the silly anecdote of Freddie bursting in the church with a feather boa, holding Mary and Kash at his arms 😅 so here we are, with Roger, Brian and Freddie taking a goofy picture with the newlyweds John and Veronica 🥰

I know, this is nothing crazy and I still prefer my previous arts for their wedding anniversary, but I still hope you'll enjoy this and stay tuned for a new artwork soon 💕

👉🏻 And don't forget to check out @johnica-weeks and the new fandom event! 👈🏻

#ahh i love this so so much!! #the poses match everyones personalites so well! 🥰 #and the outfits too! 💕

[john-paul-george-ring0]

hey everyone, just wanted to quickly say that my Johnica Week entries are probably going to be very, very late this year. Why? Because I managed to completely break my phone earlier this week, which just so happened to have the only copies of my fics saved... There might be a way to recover them but it's proving quite difficult because I can't seem to be able to sign into anything without needing to do verification through my phone??? which obviously won't work. If I can't sign in, I'll just have to rewrite them which'll likely take quite some time as it took a few weeks to write them initially.

I promise I will have something posted at some point in the future. And please, learn from my stupidity - back up your work!!

#I was really looking forward to sharing them as well #still really excited to see what everyone else has done :)

[john-paul-george-ring0]

Lil Johnica hug to celebrate the New Year 💕 I wanted to try some watercolour brushes and I'm really happy with the result, I hope you'll like it as well! 🥰

Gingerbread Queen ✨️💕

The idea of drawing Queen as gingerbread men has been floating around for a while, I think it was suggested by my boyfriend a couple of years ago, but only now I managed to make it... and I'm quite happy of the result 🥰💖 I hope you like it as well! And I wish you all a lovely Christmas 🫂✨️💜💕💖

A Bouquet of Speedwell - ch.4

With his tail between his legs, John goes at the Live Aid rehearsals, and things seem to calm down a little bit.

Chapters: 1 | 2 | 3

Here I am with an update! After the rough angst in the previous chapter I wanted to give John a bit of rest... but things are going to get awkward real soon! 🥰 Thank you as always for the support on my writing, especially now that the fandom is so quiet 🙏🏻 Comments and reblogs are always super welcomed! 💕💕💕

#excited to read this chapter!

[john-paul-george-ring0]

Okay, this has been driving me crazy because I swear I've read this whole thing. I've looked all through the internet and all I can seem to find is this translation from a Japanese interview of John's. In it, John talks about his childhood and Veronica and there's this part:

IR: Brian told us that the wives of the Queen members were all close to each other, and that was a factor in helping to keep the group from disbanding.

John: That’s right. Brian’s wife Chrissie, my Veronica, Roger’s girlfriend Dominique, and Freddie’s Mary are all good friends. Just the other day, we were all together for Mary’s birthday party.

...which makes me wonder if maybe this is similar to what you're looking for? John seems to be asked similar questions in this interview too. I have a screenshot of the whole interview if the link doesn't work.

Ahh I hope this helps! Otherwise, it might be best to see if you can use Google Translate for the original article but I doubt the quality will be good enough??

Ok I am looking for the original interview where John talks about their wives being friends, I clearly remember it and also the bit about him and Veronica being "opposite" and about his father's death and his childhood memories, it was an interview with Brian but for God's sake I can only find my own post and @growfasterfaster 's bit with the quote "They get along very well. Brian’s wife Chrissie, Roger’s girlfriend Dominique, Freddie’s girlfriend Mary and my wife Veronica are all friends with each other."

I don't have any idea of why I'm struggling so much to find the whole interview nor why it's not on deaky.net, I know I haven't hallucinated it. I do have this screenshot saved, but I can't find the whole thing written online.

I only managed to find a photo of the article from the magazine it was written on, but no transcripts/translation... it seems someone transcribed it on tumblr at this point, but I can't find it... any help?

[john-paul-george-ring0]

Thank you, Freddie 💕👑

And huge apologies if this year's drawing is a bit rushed, I'm awfully busy these days and had no time to get ready in advance... but hey, I think it's still quite good and I hope you like it 🥰

For this year's tribute I wanted to draw a younger Freddie, proudly admiring the final design of the Queen logo. I've always been fascinated by the fact he's drawn it himself, and by how much of himself he put into Queen (also demonstrated by the absolute care he had for all the memories he kept, as we saw at Sotheby's). I also wanted to draw him with cats, but not any cat... take a better look at them, can you recognise his inseparable best friends? 💖💖💖

Thank you for sharing your art with us, Freddie, I'm sure you know it's still alive, loved and celebrated. 🙏🏻💕💜💖💕💜💖

Please do not repost without credits! Reblogs and comments are welcomed 💜

#ahh so beautiful!!! 💕 #i love the cats hehe and freddie with his drawing of the logo! #i also adore the background! the colours and the flowers remind me of Tangled 💕

Johnica Week 2024

When is the event? 📆

This year's Johnica Week will start on Thursday 18th January and end on Sunday 21st January! For the first time the event will START on their wedding anniversary and continue throughout the weekend 🥰 But as always, don't worry if you're late! You can keep sending your contributions after the last day, these are simply indicative days to gather all together 💕

Where? 🔎

Here on Tumblr, on AO3 and also on Instagram for visual artists!

📚 > Here is the AO3 COLLECTION where to post your fics! <

📚 At the end of the event I’ll make a Tumblr masterlist with all the works!

2020 Masterlist | 2021 Masterlist | 2022 Masterlist | 2023 Masterlist

The Theme 🎁

The 49th Wedding Anniversary comes soon before the huge milestone of the 50 years together, and it's usually represented by various symbols that I added to the prompts: Zircon, Orchids, the color Purple, and luxurious gifts. The main theme of this year's event is GIFTS, the act of giving the partner something material or abstract as an act of selflessness, that can have various meanings and various reactions.

Like all the prompts, it’s up to you to follow the theme or not, consider it just as a general theme that you could build your entries around. I chose some prompts that might fit this theme, that are about gifts as physical objects or as ideas for situations or alternative worldbuildings.

How? 🖼

You're encouraged to join with your preferred creative media or challenge yourself with something new! Fanfictions, drawings, comics, poetry, collages and photo edits, moodboards, anything you like! More in the RULES below.

Like all Ship Weeks, this is a fandom event to share love and creativity related to a particular couple, so be sure to engage with the entries and support all the artists and writers that chose to join! Reblog, leave likes/kudos and comment on the artworks to keep the fandom alive! 💜💖💕💜💖💕

Day 1 • 18 January (Anniversary!)

Flowers: Orchids are symbols of love, beauty, refinement, fertility, strength and resilience, and mature charm.

Surprise gift!

Handmade by the other

Young, poor and happy together

"I've got a loving wife and a couple of kids at home, that'll do me!"

Day 2 • 19 January

The color: Purple can evoke spirituality, mystery, royalty, imagination, compassion, fantasy, wisdom, creativity and sensitivity.

A kinky gift 😏

Concert tickets

Radio interview

“When you love something, you protect it with your entire life. Right now, my guts tell me to do the same.”

Day 3 • 20 January

Gemstone: Zircon zircon is a talisman of travelers. They count on it to lead to a shelter and show the right way. Plus, it is able to protect from injuries. Women used the gem to ease childbirth, drive away evil spirits, enhance health, get wisdom, and attract good luck.

Rejecting a gift

Torn between options

Dreaming and daydreaming

"You remembered something I’d mentioned a million years ago!"

Day 4 • 21 January

Celebration: Luxury the 49th wedding anniversary is the step right before the big 50, also known as the Golden wedding. All the symbols represent the wealth of experience a couple has after being married for nearly five decades. Two people who are willing to work together and compromise and do all the things that make a marriage successful deserve to celebrate with a bit of Luxury.

Matching pyjamas

Spa experience / Pampering one another

Knowing each other like an open book

"Oh my, this must have been expensive!" "Nothing is expensive enough for you, my love."

✨ If you’re still unsure, HERE’s a useful guide on how to tag your works!

As a reader... 📖

If you’re a fan of John, of Johnica or simply like to read fanfictions, positive interactions are always much welcomed! Support the authors by leaving likes, a comment (even a little one!) and sharing their work. On AO3 you don’t need an account to leave Kudos and Comments!

This is no place for haters, just for creativity and love. If you see a hateful comment on other works do not engage, instead leave a positive comment to the same work and support the author! 💜

Realistic or not, remember that fanfictions are, by definition, FICTIONAL and not meant to be a documentary! There are lots of things we don’t know about John and Veronica’s private lives and don’t want to go in too deeply, gossip or speculate about them, so feel free to fly with your fantasy and let your creativity flow! 😊💖 Most of all… have fun, respect each other and support each other’s works!

A trap between rain and fog

Halloween 1972, John Deacon picks up his girlfriend Veronica for a romantic date in the countryside, both eager to join their friends at their return for Trick or Treat. But the day of Halloween is not a regular day, and the unexpected is always looming in the autumnal fog.

Forgive me for being late and forgive me if it's not that brilliant of a fic, I'm still VERY rusty and struggling to write. I hope you'll like it nonetheless and please don't forget to leave a lil feedback to help me 🙏🏻💕

#ohh this one was so interesting!! #i loved the spooky vibe so much!! #will leave a comment soon 💕💕

[john-paul-george-ring0]

Happy Halloween 👻✨️

I know, nothing extraordinaire this year, but I had this sudden image of a quite spooky John framed by a strong light, surrounded by the stars of his starry shirt, and I had to draw it 💕 I'm struggling quite a bit lately so every word of support is immensely precious for me, thank you in advance! 🥰 I hope you're all having a good Halloween!

Please do not repost! Reblogs and comments are always appreciated! 💜

#INCREDIBLE!!! 😍😍 #i really love the idea of the stars from his shirt blending out into the background it looks amazing!! #his glowing eyes are so cool too 😍

[john-paul-george-ring0]

Something a bit unusual from me, but I like to experiment! Some weeks ago @warriorteam1924 posted this picture of John from the Slightly Mad video set and I thought it would've been a good chance to try drawing with white on black canvas 💜💜💜 Also the original photo wasn't very detailed, so I liked keeping this graphic, almost silhouetted look ^^ ☆ Made digitally with Clip Studio Paint! 💖 As for me I think I'm going slightly mad at this point, I hope you're all feeling better than me-

Please don't repost this anywhere ✌🏻

#i dont know how i havent seen this before it's absolutely GORGEOUS #this is such a cool technique as well i love it!!! 💕💕

[john-paul-george-ring0]

"You're my best friend" 💕

Lately I've been thinking about John waiting to become a dad while staying at Ridge Farm with the band. We see him quite cheerful and cheeky as always during the visit of the Music Life crew (in the pics by Watal Asanuma), but I wanted to imagine him having a moment of homesickness and worry about his wife and the incoming baby, writing "You're my best friend" about them. I'm sure all the boys had been supportive at the time, trying to lift his mood whenever they could 💖 John is always such a mystery and there are so many things and thoughts we don't know, I really wonder how he felt at the time as he had to be away from his young and pregnant wife 🥺

This is also the occasional comic page I try to sketch, very rough and quick but always useful to refresh my knowledge. I hope you'll like it!

Please do not repost! Reblogs and comments are always welcomed 💜

#aww 💕 #I've always wondered about this too 🤔 #i guess ridge farm isnt too far away from london maybe he went home for the weekends
