Costume Updates: 2023 West End Cast Change
A few notes before I start: - Kayleigh McKnight (Seymour) is currently injured. Gabriella Stylianou (alt A/S) is temporarily performing in her place, including in the preview footage. - As a general rule of thumb, Six has slowly been standardizing the costumes for both US and UK. Most of that has been changes to the UK system/style to make them more in line with the US changes initially made for Broadway (a few changes have made their way to the US from the UK though). There's been a steady rollout of updates over the period post-lockdowns, but with this cast change most of the major holdouts have been changed at once. I'll get to that in a moment. - Obviously it's very early in the run and we haven't seen all the costumes yet, particularly for alts. I'll continue to update as we do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Costumes (credits below) - Nikki Bentley's Aragon costume has had a few construction changes to be more in line with the US costumes. No major design differences, though. Not sure on maker yet. - Thảo Therése Nguyễn has the darker green which has been standardized for the last few UK casts. Not sure on maker yet. - Gabriella was previously with Norwegian Cruise Lines as part of Bliss 2.0, but as expected she did get a new costume. Her corset is in the US style/design rather than the UK style (info here, here). I'm not sure who made it and very much wondering if the corset only could be a US-make, but don't have enough information yet to know if that could be the case. I'm also waiting to see what Kayleigh's looks like. - Reca Oakley (Cleves) is another former NCL queen, but as expected she also did get a new costume. It was made by Paul Aspinall. - Inez Budd's Howard skirt has been changed to the US-style construction. This has smaller panels (rather than the old NCL/UK style; post here). However, unlike the US skirts, the vertical stud lines still go all the way to the bottom hem. Per usual, it was made by Ella Dancewear. - Janiq Charles is a standard Parr style, made by Ashleigh Cherry Costumes per usual. - Otherwise, the costumes seem to be in line with all recent UK standardization. - The alts' costumes should match the changes made for these principals.
Wigs/HMU - Nikki Bentley has an auburn tone with a side part and doesn't seem to have bleached/ombre highlights. Curled bob, a little longer than some we've seen in the past. It's a full wig. - Thảo has dark roots with a silvery-toned bleached wig. It's a long wig rather than some of the recent bobs. It's a full wig. - Gabriella has a side part and darker, honey blonde tone. It's pretty mid-range for Seymour wigs but is shorter than some of the recent UK. It's a full wig. - Janiq Charles has the curls pulled over to the side. It's a full wig. - Otherwise, the principal wigs are pretty standard. - No pictures of Naomi Alade in costume yet, but I am expecting her to have braids for all or most of her roles. - We've also seen quite a bit of the makeup so far, which I'll make a post about in the coming days.
Boots @lightleckrereins already made posts about a lot of this (here, here) but for easy access: - The cast seems to be standardized to a shorter heel than prior casts, like the shorter heel Chlöe Hart and Natalie Pilkington both got later in the 22-23 UK Tour run. - They've introduced the double height boots that the US productions have had for a few years now (explanation of the difference here). However, they're still sticking to the regular UK-style boot body with crystals rather than switching to the US-style lattice and studs. Right now it looks like Nikki Bentley (Aragon) and Janiq Charles (Parr) have the double height, while Reca Oakley (Cleves) has the regular Cleves thigh highs and everyone else seems to have regular single height. Of course, that post includes Gabriella Stylianou rather than Kayleigh McKnight so no good look at Kayleigh or other alts yet. - All the boots seem to have interchangeable straps. We first saw these with the US and then UK alts - it allows them to have one pair of boots with a monochrome silver heel and then just trade out their straps depending on which costume they're wearing. This is the first time we've seen that for principals; Sofia talked more about why this change might be happening in the post I linked at the start of this section.
Alt costumes - We've seen a silver alt costume in progress that should be for Meg Dixon-Brasil. (Made by Paul Aspinall per usual) - We've also seen part of a pink alt costume. It could feasibly be either Natalie Pilkington's or it could be one for Hannah Lowther. Judging from Hannah's makeup, she does seem to have their standard makeup pieces for pink alt. - Naomi Alade has orange palette and glitter, so she presumably has the orange alt costume. - We still don't know what costume Natalie Pilkington will have. She has her old principal Seymour/Parr and pink alt system from the 2022-23 UK Tour, and during the 2021-22 UK Tour she had a black alt costume that was a mishmash of old and new pieces. I'm expecting that she'll wear a black alt costume (either entirely or mostly new), but it's possible that she reuses her old pink alt instead (it has been a while since she's worn black alt and most of it was already old). I talked in more depth about some of those possibilities here.
-------------------------- First row for each queen: junka_0.0 Second row for each queen: elliexboleyn (Nikki and Reca), cassie.zhao_ (Thảo), mattstacel (Gabriella, Janiq), Georgia.ccooper (Inez), Boots: crystalledbyjane

Ocean: Wait, you were also in a short musical about six dead people competing?
Catherine Aragon: Yeah!
Ocean: Were you also the first song?
Catherine: Yeah!
Ocean: Were you also the “bossy” one and sometimes more mature?
Catherine: Yeah!
Ocean: Did your musical also end with you all deciding it shouldn’t even be a competition?
Catherine: Exactly!
Ocean: Yeah, we ended up deciding Jane should get to win because she lost her head :(

Okay so I had this thought that like whenever Anne and Catalina get in big fights Anne has nightmares like this. That Catalina hates her enough to cut off her head at the moment.

Summer 2023 Wig Updates: North American Productions
Tumblr media
The Canadian production has officially opened! I'll do a more in-depth look at all of the wigs later this week, but a few quick updates worthy of note: - Julia Pulo doesn't have any major changes to the base style, but we're finally getting to see a North American Boleyn with curls!! - Krystal Hernández got the red ponytail braid style for Cleves. It has some changes to the specific style, which I'll go into more detail about this week. - Lauren Mariasoosay has the back ponytail that's becoming an alternative standardized style. Hers has a very different base than any of the UK and most of the prior North American Parr wigs in this style, but it definitely fits the general category of the back center ponytail. Again, comparison post coming soon. - We've also seen a few of the alts' hairstyles! So far everything has been as expected, but it does answer one of the big questions I've had: what hair color they'd give Darcy Stewart. She might not get the same color for all three of her queens, but at least for Boleyn they went for a light blonde that reads more strawberry blonde under stage lights.
Tumblr media
Over in the Broadway and North American Tour... - Khaila Wilcoxon joined Broadway as a temporary replacement for Aragon. She's still wearing her wig from the Aragon Tour. - And Sydney Parra got the back ponytail style about a week ago, which we've seen slowly become standardized for non-Black actors. It might be her old wig re-styled but I'm waiting on better photos to confirm that. The styling seems to be more in line with Lauren Mariasoosay's wig than some of the past in this style, but again I'm waiting for better photos.
————————— Canada: pro photos by Joan Marcus; Darcy/Julia photo from @/darcellas, Krystal and Lauren photos from @/laurenmariasoosay, Darcy photo I found on Wiki but presumably is from @/darcellas
Other: Khaila photos from @/thekhailawilcoxon, Sydney from @/sydneyparra and @/sweetbeeyoutees

➸❥ A foggy stage
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 !
Agere, Regressor!Catherine Parr, Caregiver!Catherine of Aragon, Technically accidental regression but not really, Cathy goes non-verbal, 2110 words of me projecting my regression onto my blorbo, kinda baby space but no age is mentioned.
↳ Catherine Parr, Catherine of Aragon
𝐀𝐨𝟑
2.110 words
Tumblr media
Cathy fidgeted with the microphone in their hand, bouncing slightly on their heels. 
There was an urge to bite their wrist at the back of their mind. One which they strategically ignored. 
Cathy counted the people on stage. They already knew, it wasn't that hard to know.
2 alternates, playing Kate and Jane. The other 3 were the actual women. 
They'd just finished don't lose your head. And Cathy was mentally preparing so they wouldn't miss a cue. They still had the feeling they would, though.
Anne's voice blasted inside their ears. Not really helping considering their sound sensitivity. It never quite bothered them as much as it did now normally.
"It's called wearing yellow to a funeral! Hit the lights!" Anne cheered.
Cathy quickly shook out of their thoughts, trying their very best to ignore the growing fog in their mind. 
"Catherine was a mASSIVE-"
The others quickly yelled to stop her. Cathy flinched at the noise. 
Anna walked up to Anne, Cathy hesitating before following along. "When did we decide you were the winner?"
Cathy lost their line in the fog for a moment, bringing the microphone to their mouth before faltering. 
"She wants another turn." The alternate for Kate quickly stepped in, shooting a concerned glance Cathy's way. 
"Over my dead body!"
No no, they'd come to this point they had to survive through the show. They took in a quick breath, trying to steady the panic in their chest which seemed to worsen the barrier forming in their mind.
"Anyway i do believe it's my turn next." Jane's alternate spoke, the queens turning to her.
"You? Queen, please!" 
They tried their very best mocking laugh and brought their microphone to their mouth. "I mean are you being for real?"
"Yeah weren't the one he truly loved?"
"Didn't you give him the son he so desperately wanted?"
"Yeah, like, i had a daughter and he literally chopped my head off." Anne grinned, though giving a small concerned side eye to Cathy when she noticed them fidgeting an unusual amount. 
"Yeah, okay i was lucky. Okay i was, really, lucky."
Cathy didn't bother intently listening to the rest of the monologue, they could recite it by heart anyway. They scanned the audience, how well they could see almost every face in the theater always surprised them. They always thought it'd be rather hard considering how dark it was.
Cathy turned to look at their godmother, who unlike them was intently listening to the monologue. The look on her face didn’t much help the survivor’s current state.
“..It’s because.. i.. loved him!”
The tune of heart of stone started playing, to which the queens immediately reacted in heading for the stairs. When Cathy was sure the others wouldn’t notice, they started biting at their wrists and fingers.
That wasn't a good idea, it seemed. The fog in their mind turned to something Cathy couldn't ignore but neither fight off much. 
Cathy turned to look at the other queens, who were either focused on the song or making quiet small talk.
The survivor whined, biting down harder on their skin while their free hand went to squeeze and hit their thighs. 
A hit came harder then they'd meant it to, making them flinch and apparantly also alerting Catalina. 
"Cathy?" Catalina took out one of her in ears, scooting a little closer to her goddaughter. She gently placed her hand on their shoulder, making them whine. 
She softly worked their in-ears too, taking them out by the strings and hoping to god that wouldn't damage anything. "Hey there Mija, can you look at me?"
The tone didn't help Cathy's state at all, actually it might have been what threw them over the edge. 
Nevertheless they did as they were told. The look in their eyes immediately betrayed their state to Catalina. 
"Oh, sweetheart." Okay yeah, Cathy had fully slipped by now. "Let's get you out of here alright?" 
Cathy couldn't bring themselves to argue, and neither did they fight it when Catalina alerted Anne before taking their hand and leading them off stage. 
Catalina led them to her dressing room, instead of the one they shared with Anna.
There, Catalina sat them down on the couch. As Cathy searched their extremely foggy mind for an age to describe how they were feeling, Catalina set out to find anything add some extra comfort to their situation. 
They were biting, right, a regressed Catherine Parr loves to bite things. Catalina knew that all too well after being used as a chewing toy one too many times. She'd bought a few chewing sensory toys, now if only she could find the one she kept in the theater. 
"Ah! Got it!" Catalina cheered, heading to Cathy and slipping a chewing bracelet onto their wrist. "There we go, so you don't hurt yourself, alright chiquitita?" 
Cathy nodded, starting to bite at it the moment they could. 
"Alright love, i'm just going to get two alternates to cover for us for the rest of the show okay?" Catalina said, kneeling in front of them and holding their free hand. 
Cathy whined, which Catalina chuckled at, but they nodded again eitherway. 
"I'll be back soon, Cariña." She reassured before leaving to find any alternates to take their place.
Cathy continued to chew as they waited, leaving the growing icky feeling in their stomach to identify and deal with when they got out of their headspace.
It didn't take long for Catalina to return, at which point Cathy realized they couldn't hear the muffled music from their in-ears anymore. 
The moment the older woman was in reach Cathy whined and reached out to her, putting on the best puppy face they could to get the snuggles they desired.
Catalina obeyed with a laugh, picking Cathy up and getting a comfortable position on the couch before allowing the younger to adjust themselves into her embrace.
"Hi there." She grinned, gently rubbing Cathy's cheek with her thumb which they gladly leaned into.
Cathy waved in response, a bright smile on their own face.
Catalina raised a brow. "No talking today?" She hummed giggling slightly when Cathy stuck out their tongue in an attempt to gather an answer.
"Too.. tiny." They responded, almost hesitantly. Catalina's grin widened at the realization, giggling slightly. 
"I see. Too much fog in the mind to remember how words work?" Cathy nodded enthusiastically, incredibly happy that they were understood. "Alright querida, that's okay." 
Catalina set to work softly undoing the hairstyle they wore for the show, imagining it not being the most comfortable thing, Cathy shot her a small confused look, tilting their head. 
The first queen did so successfully, setting aside their spiky crown and ruffling their hair before gently working it into a normal enough state. She made a mental note to brush their hair when they were satisfied with the cuddles.
Cathy puffed out their cheeks in a response as Catalina messed with their hair. Catalina barked out a laugh, poking their cheek in return. 
"I think i still have a few of those cookies Jane made. How about that baby? Hm?" Catalina asked, gently untangling a few more strands of Cathy's hair.
Cathy let out a small gasp, before nodding happily. They quickly jumped off the couch and waited with open arms.
Catalina shook her head fondly, getting up and doing as requested. The universe was so merciful for making Cathy easy to carry.
Catalina hoisted them up on her hip. Cathy immediately cuddled into her, resting their head on her shoulder. 
She hummed, smiling as she started her very short journey to the lunch room where she'd stored the left-over sweets. "You're really deep, aren't you?" 
Cathy looked up and tilted their head in confusion at the question.
"Oh yup, that's all the answers i need." 
Now admittedly, opening the doors was a challenge but nothing Catalina hasn't faced before. 
Catalina set the little onto the counter, searching the cabinets for the container she'd left the sweets in.
Cathy whined at the lost contact, immediately searching to get it back by reaching for one of Catalina's hands. 
The older humored them with a smile, swinging their intertwined hands back and forth as she searched. 
"Oh, here they are." Catalina got out the container with a little more effort then it would have been if she had both hands. 
"Should i break them into little pieces? I know cookies and those kinds of snacks can be a bit hard for you when you're so young like this." 
Cathy pouted, reaching for cookies and completely ignoring the question. 
Catalina raised a brow, grinning slightly in amusement. "Mi tesoro, you gotta answer." She chuckled when Cathy whined again.
"Come on, Princesa. You don't need to say anything, just shake your head yes or no." Catalina said softly, rather amused at the ever growing pout on Cathy's face. 
Cathy whined again but nodded even though they didn't stop trying to reach for the treat.   
"Alright love, but i gotta use both my hands alright? You can hold onto me though." The older let go of Cathy's hand, to which they immediately reacted to by wrapping their arms around her waist.
Catalina started breaking the treats into smaller pieces, handing them to Cathy when she'd finished a piece. Cathy happily munched down, cooing in content. 
"Be careful, Nena. Don't eat that fast. I'm not taking these safety measures only for you to choke because you're eating it all so fast." Catalina chuckled, gently holding Cathy back from downing another piece. 
Cathy whined and pouted, trying to chew faster. 
"Oh lord, Amor, wouldn't you rather enjoy your treat instead of going so quick that it's all gone so soon?"
Cathy gasped, quickly shaking their head. Catalina chuckled. "Then you gotta slow down." 
Cathy considered it, ultimately deciding it would be a good idea to not hurt themselves by eating cookies. 
"Good choice, Mija." Catalina giggled, allowing Cathy to continue eating her snacks.
"If Anne asks, tell her I gave you a few slices of an apple." Catalina added, breaking apart the last cookie and handing the small pieces to her goddaughter. 
Cathy tilted their head but nodded, munching on the last piece as Catalina cleaned up the evidence. 
"Was that tasty, Amor?" Catalina asked, smiling softly. Cathy nodded enthusiastically, a bright smile on their face. 
Catalina giggled. "How about we head back, we can play a bit or watch one of your cartoons yeah? And we can go watch the girls do the megasix later if you're up for it."
Cathy nodded, clapping happily as Catalina picked them up and set them on her hip again.
"What would you wanna do?" Catalina asked, adjusting Cathy so they were securely on her hip before setting out for her dressing room once again. 
Cathy opened their mouth to respond. But hesitated and retreated back while biting on their index finger.
Catalina hummed, gently showing them their chewing bracelet to remind them to bite that instead. "It's okay Princesa, you can choose when we get there." 
When they arrived Catalina set Cathy down and got our her emergency Cathy toy box, but also grabbed her laptop for if the regressed girl wanted to cuddle and watch a cartoon instead.
Cathy made a show of reaching for the laptop from their spot on the floor.
They pointed at it when Catalina came close enough to pick them up again, looking ul at her with the most innocent eyes Catalina had ever seen.
"So a show? Alright, Tesoro, get comfy on the couch."
 Cathy nodded, getting up to waddle over to the couch. Where they, once again, made a show of whining and reaching for Catalina's hand.
Catalina barked out a laugh. "I'm coming, i'm coming." She grabbed the laptop and sat on the couch. She readjusted the both of them so they could comfortably cuddle while watching their show.
Catalina gave Cathy a few to choose from, some thing's not too hard to follow in consideration of how young they seemed.
After Cathy made their choice the two cuddled closer to each other, the younger staring in wonder at the screen.
They looked up. "Ca.. Catty." They mumbled, their face contorted in concentration as they tried to find the right words. "Love you." 
Catalina cooed, her heart positively melting as Cathy reached to press a small sloppy kiss against her cheek. 
"I love you too."

Drunken confessions
also on AO3
__________________________
Catalina was trying to enjoy her night out with Jane. (her best friend and long time crush.)
But no. Some idiots had to ruin it.
Jane had gone to the bathroom twenty minutes ago and she was yet to come back. At this point Catalina had started to get a bit worried about the blonde. Normally The blonde was trustworthy alone anytime, she knew how to keep herself safe, but when drunk it was a different story.
Catalina got up and went to go look for her. Right as she started approaching the bathroom. Two wasted guys were talking to Jane, One was buying her a bunch of drinks, and the other was grabbing her wrists while she was trying to get away. The blonde tried to yell for help, but her voice got lost to the noisiness of the bar.
Catalina rushed to her friend's help.
“Hey,” She yelled at the guys, “Get off of her,” Lina Grabbed the guy who was grabbing Jane and kicked him in the stomach. The guy doubled over in pain so Catalina pulled Jane away from him while she had the chance.
“Stay the fuck away from us!” She screamed, turning around and leading a very drunk Jane out the door.
Jane swayed while she walked, “Linaaa, those guys were scaryy,” she slurred, hugging Catalina, Jane’s eyes began to well up “And they gave me a LOT to drink. I don't feel good.”
Catalina looked at the blonde woman, sympathy in her eyes, “I’m sorry mi amor, I should have come to look for you sooner,” She said, putting her arm around Jane.
“It wasn’t your fault, Those bastards were being BAD.” Jane responded, pulling a very flustered Catalina closer to her.
Catalina chuckled, “Yes, they were being very ba–”
“You’re really pretty. Ya know that?” Jane smiled, leaning against Catalina.
“I– you– you think I’m pretty?” Catalina stuttered.
“Ya, You’re fuckin gourgous. Now are we gonna uber home? Why are we walking?”
“Jane we live a block away, I don’t think we need an uber driver to drive us that far, I would hate to waste their time.”
“You’re also like, suuuuuuper nice. I think that's why I love you,” Jane slurred out.
“You–you love…me?” Catalina’s eyes widened, but Jane meant it in a platonic way, right? “You mean like as a friend right?”
“No silly, I love, love you. Like people do when they get married!” Jane said, still a huge grin on her face.
Catalina tried to convince herself it wasn’t happening, not that she didn’t want it to be happening, but Jane was drunk, people say stupid things when they’re drunk.
“Linaa, do you like girls?” Jane questioned, seeing the flustered look on the Spaniard's face.
“Yes I like girls Jane, I’m a lesbian remember? We’ve discussed this.”
“Cool. I like girls too, but also guys ya know? I’m Biisexuaal!” She said drunkenly.
Catalina laughed, almost forgetting to stop at their house, “We’re here,” She said to Jane, guiding her up the steps onto the porch.
“Ya. But really, I do love you Lina, In a gayyy wayyy,” Jane spoke, starting to laugh at the way her crush blushed.
“Tell me that when you’re sober, Jane.” Lina said unlocking the door, “huh, guess no one else is home yet.”
“No, I won’t,” Jane replied.
“Uh-huh and why is that?” Catalina asked.
“Cause when I’m sober I’m too afraid. I don’t like me when I’m sober.” Jane said, walking into the house.
Lina sped up to catch Jane as she started to fall over, “Why is that love?”
“Well I’m too scared to say things I wanna say that's why I do it now. And also I cry a lot and get nervous and I think people don’t like me. But like when I drink it's all finee.”
“Really?” Catalina had never realized how insecure Jane really was.
“Ya. Also when I’m with you.”
“When you’re with me what?”
“I feel safe. And you make me happy and not sad.” Jane said, leaning against Catalina again.
“I do?” The first queen questioned one more.
“Yea. Cause normally I think people don’t think I’m strong like you and the rest of the queens, but you make me feel strong and really good.” The blonde waited a moment and then added, “Can you carry me up the stairs Lina, pleeaasee?”
Catalina stood there for a moment, blinking, then she replied, “Sure,” and scooped Jane into her arms.
When the two reached Jane’s bedroom, Lina laid Jane down on her bed.
“Now change and get to sleep, we stayed out late tonight,” Catalina looked at the clock, which read 1:34 am. “Goodnight Jane, sleep well.”
“Wait,” Jane called, “Pleaseee stay? You can sleep with me!”
Catalina stood there, wide eyed.
“Not like that, Ya nasty!” Jane laughed, throwing a pillow at her, which Lina threw right back.
“Okay, but I need to change first.”
“Kayy,” Jane responded as Lina walked back to her own room.
When both girls had changed, they laid down in Jane’s bed.
“Jane, are you sure you’re comfortable like this?” Lina questioned, her arms wrapped around the shorter woman’s waist.
“Yea, are  you?” Jane responded.
“Yes I jus– hey is that the picture you took of us before that one roller coaster?” She asked, pointing to the picture, framed on Jane’s nightstand.
“Yea cause sometimes when you’re busy or somethin’ and I’m upset it calms me down cause it's you and me and we were super happy then.” Jane said, then added, “M'kay goodnight Lina.”
Catalina smiled, “Goodnight Jane.”
____________
The next day, Jane woke up first.
She rolled to her side, about to get out of bed, then she realized that Lina was in the bed with her.
As she stood up, the past night’s event’s replayed in her mind. Some idiots had gotten her drunk while she was out with Lina.
“Lina!” Jane whisper-yelled. Oh lord. Oh dear lord. Jane had confessed everything to Lina the prior night. Her love for the Spaniard, how Lina’s presence was calming to her, how she secretly liked getting drunk, and how insecure she really was.
“No no no!” She muttered.
Jane ran downstairs, desperate to get away from Lina before she woke up.
When Jane got to the kitchen, Cathy and Anne were already downstairs.
“Morning Jane,” Cathy said, coffee in one hand, Anne’s hand in the other.
“Morning Cathy,” Jane replied
“So Jane,” Anne started “I saw that you and Lina–”
“ANNE!” Jane screamed, “Uh will you please see me in the other room,” She nodded towards the living room.
“Uh, sure,” was Anne’s response.
The two walked to the other room and sat down on the couch.
“Last night I went to a bar with Lina and I got drunk and on the way back I said a lot of really, really weird things that I shouldn’t have told her . also I convinced her to sleep in my bed with me, and I probably made her so, so uncomfortable. I confessed that I loved her and a lot of other, really, really weird things. Dear God she probably hates me now.” Jane spurted out. It was more word vomit than conversation, but Anne understood.
“Oh dear lord Jane, you, you really shot your shot with her didn’t ya?”
“Anne, this is not the time! My best friend hates me and she knows my secrets now!” Jane lectured.
Anne grew a confused look on her face, “So did Lina tell you she hates you? Or…”
“Well not exactly, she went along with everything last night, and when I got up she was still sleeping. But I know she will,” Jane replied.
“I mean you really don’t but–”
“Well I’m going to sneak into my room, grab clothes, change into them in the bathroom down here. Then, I’m going grocery shopping and after that I will be in my room until the show,” Jane said, standing up.
“Just TALK to her Jane!” Anne said, “I’ll go grocery shopping while you do.”
“No Anne. I can’t. I just can’t do it now.”
And with that she made her way to her room.
When Jane had finished changing, She quickly grabbed her keys, trying her best to remain unseen she–
“Hey Jane, can we talk?” Lina asked her after popping out of nowhere.
Jane stuttered “I uh–well I need– I can’t right now sorry.” She tried to push past the first queen but Lina grabbed her wrist
“Jane about last nigh–”
“Nope, nope nope,” Jane said, breaking out of the Spaniard's grasp.
She walked out of the door, leaving the first queen alone and confused.
____________
Jane had managed to avoid Lina all day. Now she had until after the show and she could go to sleep and temporarily forget about it.
Lina walked into the third queens dressing room, “Jane we need to talk about what happe–” but of course she had been cut off once more.
“Places everyone, places,” The stage manager called, her voice flooded the queens earpieces.
“Lina I swear after the show we can talk about it but right-”
“Fine but you have to promise,”
“I do,” Jane promised.
____________
When the queens got home, Lina brought Jane into her room.
“Jane we need to talk–”
“I know, I know, Jesus, that's all you’ve said to me for the last 12 hours!” Jane exclaimed.
“Well at least I tried to talk to you!” Lina retorted.
“Can we just not fight please? Look, I got drunk last night and said a bunch of stuff I didn’t mean to say, I’m not sure there’s anything more to talk about.” Jane explained, sitting down on Lina’s bed.
Finally Lina decided just to go for the big question “Jane, do you love me? In like, a gay way?”
Jane flushed red hearing the exact words she had said the previous night, “Well– I mean– I d– see uh–” She stopped stuttering when Lina started holding her hands. “To be honest, yes I am in love with you. In a gay way,” She could of ended it there, but then some word vomit came up, “I wanted to tell you sooner but I was afraid since you don’t feel the same way you would not want to be around me anymore because the last thing I want to do is lose you. And I’m sorry for avoiding you but I know that after all the other things I said I assume you would realize how dysfunctional I really am and yo–”
“–I’m gonna stop you right there love,” Lina interrupted, wiping away one of Jane’s tears, “ If you had told me you were in love with me, I would never have stopped talking to you. I love you too, and I understand that life can be rough sometimes, so I won’t judge you for anything else you said. You were actually quite cute when you were drunk.”
“Wait, you love me too?” Jane questioned, “So like, we’re in love?”
“Uh yea I guess,” Lina answered.
“So uh,” Jane mumbled something incoherent.
“What was that love?” Lina asked.
Another incoherent mumble.
“What are you saying?”
“So uh do you wanna be girlfriends?” Jane blurted, “I mean like we don’t need to tell everyone right away. And like of course we don't have to at all you don’t–”
“Yes.”
“What?”
Yes. I mean I’m not sure how I feel about telling everyone, I'm still not that comfortable with like, the media and stuff,” Lina responded.
“Okay same, so like, we could take it one step at a time?”
“Yea, Like maybe we could go to dinner, then walk on the beach on like Saturday?”
“Sounds perfect!” Jane beamed.
Lina hugged Jane, “So uh, can I– can I kiss you?”
“Yes!”
