#I'm a firstprince blog

[beautifulhigh]

Another day, another thought, I guess this is my life now.

So last night I was reading this article in which Matthew talks about making the film and the staging of the Paris sex scene. And it struck me how much work and attention to detail was given to this moment:

Which yes, others have talked about what is placed around the room but I'd like to present exhibits B and C:

The other times we see them in bed together, Alex is on Henry's right. Protocol or his good side? (Both?) Because that's your place when you're with a Royal.

But in Paris they're the other way around. Henry is on Alex's right. That's his place. That's where he belongs. In this moment he's not Prince Henry, he's Henry Fox. He's just this guy who is in love with this other guy.

At the DNC hotel they're mired in politics. In Kensington Palace they're in the monarchy. But in Paris? They're just them. Not so much Firstprince as... some other pormanteau. Helex? Alry? Anyway. They're them in Paris and it's as close to neutral ground as they can get and I find it interesting that Henry is on Alex's right when every other instance in his life he has people on his right. He never gets to be the person on the right. He never gets to defer to someone who isn't in some line of succession.

But with Alex? He does. He defers to him (and no this is not a comment about sexual positions) and he isn't pushed into the circumstance and rules of a situation he was born into without any choice or say in the matter. He can just be himself without the need to maintain an image or a sense of duty or adhere to some archiac institution. He's on someone's right.

(He's also put Alex on his non-good side. He's showing that part of himself to this man because he loves and he trusts him and he knows he is safe to do so. That's something else I'm feral over.)

And given how much attention was paid to the staging of Paris you will not be able to convince me that this wasn't deliberate. Matthew López himself could come into my Tumblr inbox and deny it and I wouldn't believe him.

I feel like when Alex speaks some Spanish and Henry with all his royal dickheadness melts and not even respond with his knowledge cause he knows; he's so damn hot when he speaks spanish although he knows exactly what to say and how

Caress Your Soul

People didn’t…touch Henry.

He was a rule of etiquette, not to be breached. He was a mother of pearl caviar spoon, held aloft between two discerning fingers, a fussy little utensil with a set of rules so as not to impart any undesirable flavor upon the roe.

But Alex had never liked caviar, and he cared fuck all that Henry was a prince.

Or, five times Alex touched Henry.

Just a sappy lil thank you note from me (@daisymae-12) A huge THANK YOU once again for following and supporting this blog. When we hosted this celebration for 500 followers, I didn't think we'd currently be at 1k but here we are 🥺 It's been so nice to spread joy through this blog for both authors and readers 🥰 I've also ended up with such a lovely discord community with the Volunteer team, so a big thank you to them as well for helping out and for contributing so much. I wouldn't be able to do this without them, it really takes a village ❤️ Last but not least: shoutout to my husband who has listened to all of my blog ideas and ramblings. For the amazing IT support, writing me code to not only generate index spreadsheets and html formatting, but a code to download every single fic in the rwrb ao3 tag so I can search within fics as well 😭 We're continuing to workshop ways to improve the admin side of the blog with his codes, so this blog is his passion project as much as it is mine ❤️ He always goes above & beyond in his support of my hobbies and I am so grateful ❤️

WIP Wednesday/ Six Sentence Sunday Dinner Combo meal

Ok . . . Life is crazy here but I noticed a few lovely people have tagged me in past WIP Wednesdays and Six Sentence Sundays and I'm so flattered that you did. Never meant to ignore it - just always looked at it, said, oh I'll do that - and then life got away from me. and I, um forgot - so sorry!

So here's just a bit of a writing dump then as a belated thanks to :

@forabeatofadrum , @wordsofhoneydew , @thnxforknowingme ,@myheartalivewrites . . and crap if I've forgotten anyone, I'm sorry!

Oooh and @rockitmans and @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion , thank you for tagging me today!

*********

I'll give you two bits of writing for the price of one ( for 2 different fandoms: Klaine and RWRB) because you all are so lovely . .

1.) From my current Klaine WIP (If I Can Make Your Heart My Home)

 Slowly Blaine wandered into the back of the room trying to track down his coat, cringing slightly that every person at the event seemed to have the same identical outerwear. “Leaving so soon?” Blaine whipped around, seeing Sebastian in the doorway staring at him. “Yes,” Blaine said tiredly, “I think it’s time for me to go.” Sebastian took a step into the room, his confidence oozing off of him. “Now we can’t have that.” he told Blaine with a grin. “And why not?” “Because it wouldn’t look good for you to leave without your date.” “This isn’t a date, Sebastian. “ Blaine sighed.  “I thought I made myself clear when this night started.  Not a date . . It’s just an. . .” “Arrangement, whatever, “ said Sebastian nonchalantly.  He waved his hands about dismissively.  “Call it what you want, I don’t care.”  Took another few steps closer to Blaine and causally leaned against one of the coat racks. “But I do have an image to uphold.”

2.) Here is the start of a spy fic that's rattling around in my head that would be a RWRB/firstprince fic .

Tentatively named, "Shaken, Not Stirred". This is inspired by a great piece of artwork by @noodles-and-tea

NOTE: In my research employees of the CIA are actually referred to as "officers" not "agents" like they do in the movies. So, right now I have the characters referred to as such - I'm debating to just chuck that aside and go the Hollywood route and call them all agents.

“What in the everloving fuck?!” “You heard me.” Officer Alexander Claremont-Diaz stopped in the middle of his rant, his mouth agape and seriously hoping his hearing had been effected by his recent stint at the shooting range. Yeah, he wore the appropriate ear protection. . .most of the time.   But what the hell? “You’re joking, right?  You must be joking, Zee.”  Opposite him, his direct superior, Senior Operations Officer Zahra Bankston sat, cool, calm, and eerily still: like a viper waiting to strike.  Her head slowly raised from the black leather portfolio she was reviewing.  Her eyes narrowed and her expression . . .well if Alex believed that looks really could kill . .  .then from that 3 second glance alone he would have been eviscerated, the minuscule pieces sealed in concrete and then dumped somewhere in the Potomac River.   Alex swallowed loudly at realizing his mistake ( REMINDER: never, ever try informal talk with the head of your division, especially this department head) and shrunk yet so slightly lower in his seat. “I do not joke.  Not about this.  Not about my job.”

HELLO OH MY GOSH I hope it’s okay that I’m just barging in on your blog lol, but I just read ch 1 of your seahorse dad Henry fic and it completely owns my heart, so good <3

LITERALLY BARGE ALL THE TIME!!!

I'm so bad about answering things here because I have object permanence issues so once I open things and the notification goes away I forget it's there.

Thank you so much for the kind words!!! The reaction to seahorse dad Henry fic has meant so much to me, all the kind words have been great.

I am answering this publicly because I want to shout YOU out!!! They are Dawg1515 on AO3 and have written some of my favorite trans FirstPrince fics, particularly Sharper Head, Wilder Heart. They've also written several other fics which are great!!!!

Thanks again :)

oversharing on the internet

thanks for the tags @firstprince-history-huh and @welcometololaland (hope you don't mind i borrowed the title because i love it!)!

ONE: Are you named after anyone?

nope! but this blog is <3

TWO: When was the last time you cried?

probably within the last two weeks; over a fictional man, no doubt.

THREE: Do you have kids?

no, my best friend's puppy is enough.

FOUR: Do you use sarcasm a lot?

me? never!

FIVE: What sports have you played/do you play?

it was a country club sport so i'm embarrassed to say 🫣

SIX: What's the first thing you notice about people?

their hair, followed closely by their smile.

SEVEN: What's your eye colour?

chocolate orbs <3

EIGHT: Scary movies or happy endings?

happy endings because i detest anxiety and gore but i do love a good psychological horror even if i'm shielding my eyes the entire time.

NINE: Any special talents?

i played five instruments in high school!

TEN: Where were you born?

i wasn't! i actually just hopped right out of a clown car believe it or not!

TWELVE: Do you have any pets?

again, best friend's puppy is enough

THIRTEEN: How tall are you?

five foot three; don't listen to the lies, being short in a grocery store is not the setting for a meet cute, but a nightmare knowing you can't reach the laundry detergent on the top shelf.

Seven Sentence Sunday 28/01/24

As you can see graphic design is my passion

Thank you to Jon @bigassbowlingballhead for tagging me in my first ever writing tag! what an honour.

My ADHD brain has 3942898 fics going at once so let me try to be coherent:

Henry Fox is Alive (Firstprince, groundhog day au, chaptered, WIP)

Henry laughs so hard he snorts. He’s quick to slap a hand over his face, but the damage is done. He’s losing it, crying with laughter, tears rolling down his face, snorting again and again. It’s loud and uninhibited and so fucking joyful Alex could scream as he watches, completely enraptured. He’ll do anything to hear that laugh tomorrow. To hear it every day for the rest of his life. Henry is not going to die today. Not again. Alex simply can’t take it anymore.

I'm not gonna tag anyone in this bc my blog is SO new and I don't know any people, but feel free to let me know if you like being tagged in this stuff <3

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 aka. 2022 Recap

I was tagged by @cha-melodius - thank you for thinking of me :)

Rules Guidelines: post the top 5 works you’re most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you’re excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favourite line you’ve written this year!

Top 5 works I’m proudest of (in reverse chronological order)

1. One of the Seven Ways (Back to You) fics - (Carlos/TK) I wrote it in Carlos POV (tricky for me), I attempted to bridge a canon gap (also tricky) and I was super not functioning well as a human when I wrote most of them (plainly stupid).

2. (Not) A Cinderella Story (Alex/Henry) - Because I'd had a lot of time off writing RWRB and I re-discovered a love. Plus, I wrote Henry POV. I love Henry but I hate writing him.

3. Love Game (Carlos/TK) - I did something just because I wanted to.

4. Phonography (Carlos/TK) - I've been informed that this is the first Tarlos sex tape fic? Could be wrong. In any case, I liked doing something a bit different.

5. Down For the Count (Alex/Henry) - I mean...it's about poker and blackjack card counting. I had to learn basic theory, high/low and Texas Hold 'Em to write this fic and I can't even tell you why I decided to do it. Plus, I had to do math (running counts/true counts), and I'm famously bad at math.

Top 4 current wips I’m excited about

*checks status of WIP list* *groans*

1. I have two collaborations that carried over from 2022, one of which is (un)professional services with @rmd-writes. I find the collab fics so easy to write, just chilling in a doc, coming up with weird ideas, egging each other on.

2. Plot-driven, chunky, second-chance meets murder mystery AU written almost exclusively in Carlos POV as a consequence of a spiral with @pragmatic-optimist.

3. Firstprince European adventure AU which I've shamefully partially abandoned for so long. It could be my favourite thing I've ever written. If I ever finish it.

4. The crossover which keeps being pushed down my list. Criminal behaviour.

Top 3 improvements in my writing

I found it hard to be serious about this so here are my shit-takes:

1. Socks off in shower.

2. Spelling vibrator correctly.

3. Remembering lube.

Top 2 writing resolutions

1. Develop more nuance in characterisation (I'm looking at you Mr. Carlos Reyes) and not being scared to ask for help when I need it.

2. I wanna post at least 4 Firstprince fics next year, hopefully (hopefully) I can finish European adventure but I'm projecting a WC of like 170k so?? We'll see how we go.

Number 1 favorite line

I can't remember 5 minutes ago, I honestly have no idea. I can give you my word of 2022 though: quadriceps.

There is absolutely no pressure on anyone to do this - it actually took me a hot minute to get my head around it: @indomitable-love @three-drink-amy @beautifulhigh @reyescarlos @reyesstrand @tailoredshirt @sunshinestrand @iboatedhere @good-ways @marjansmarwani @carlos-in-glasses

edelweiss and palm tree!

edelweiss ⇢ how’d you think of your url/username? what’s it associated with to you?

so funny story. when i first made this blog way back in 2011, i was on a big Spring Awakening kick. there's a song on the soundtrack called "there was once a pirate", and i became oncetherewasapirate. it just kept getting condensed from there. there are days i think about changing it but tbh i'm terrible at coming up with things like that, so piratefalls she stays.

palm tree ⇢ do you have a fictional villain you shouldn’t like but love regardless?

this should be obvious given my current firstprince wip, but the yin/yang killer from psych. i just....i love the dynamic, sometimes they're kind of funny, and the riddles and games are great. a++ villains.

get to know me ask game!
