#Ricky thomas imagine
Being a friend of Ricky and Angela + an honorary daughter to Martha would include~
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)(Requested by @blossomgutz )
(Hope this is what you were looking for!)
- While it could be true that you met Angela and Ricky through normal means; like school or something of the sort, I raise you a somewhat different idea: you meeting them because of Aunt Martha.
- It’s not out of the ordinary for Aunt Martha to make what she wants into a reality so if she takes notice of a particular young girl who she thinks would make a wonderful friend for her children, she’ll certainly try her best to pull some strings and get them to come over for a play date. You can be anything from a neighbor, to a daughter of a friend, to a patient of hers; she is a doctor after all. Regardless, you’re welcomed with open arms.
- From the start of your friendship with the two, she insists that you can think of their home as your own. You’re free to walk inside and do whatever you’d like: welcome to stay for dinner, a sleepover, to come in for breakfast, or to just stay for hours at a time; whatever you’d prefer is fine by her.
- Ricky is always a bit embarrassed by her and her arguably strange behavior but you probably tease him about how you like hanging out with his mom more than you like hanging out with him and that tends to make him feel better. He’s relieved that she doesn’t scare you off; he’s had more than a few friends avoid coming over.
- Perhaps that’s why he’s particularly protective over you; the fact that you’ve always been so accepting of his strange little life. Although, it has sort of just become of a habit of his: one that was probably born out of his mothers insistence that he protect Angela; and subsequently you.
- Speaking of: you have a tendency to protect Angela just as much as he does; especially when you know Ricky isn’t there to stick up for her. Whenever you’re in a class you share alone together or in the girls restroom at school, you always make sure to keep an eye on her and ensure that no bullies can get to her. You might have even gotten into a few fights because of her and though you probably got grounded as a result, you still can’t bring yourself to regret them.
- You’re one of the few people that Angela feels she can actually trust and talk to and she really enjoys spending time with you. It sort of makes you feel special when you think about how you’re the only one in your school that she hangs out with.
- Martha loves that Angela finally has a little “girlfriend” who she can hang out with. She encourages the two of you to go on outings together whenever she can: usually stereotypical girly things like shopping or manicures.
- On the topic of outings: you’re invited to join them on all of their vacations and day trips. Whenever they go to some park or zoo or museum, you’re always welcome to come; so much so that Aunt Martha probably plans around the assumption that you are coming.
- Angela tends to linger by your side whenever you’re out together; especially when Ricky is busy elsewhere. It isn’t rare for him to go off with his friends or want to be alone when you arrive at someplace so you’re usually left behind with your favorite shy little gal.
- This is especially true for when you go to the arcade together: though Ricky will definitely drag you around with him a lot of the time; wanting you to go against him in different two person games.
- Family game nights and show watching. You all sit down after dinner every Friday and play board games or watch something like jeopardy or the Brady bunch on tv.
- Martha treats you like a daughter, plain and simple. If she didn’t already have Angela you probably would have become her surrogate child; though sometimes Angela is definitely made to play second fiddle in favor of you. Thankfully, she never really minds; she might even prefer having a break from her mother on occasion.
- Please let her do your hair, or your makeup, or maybe just try on these clothes and see if they fit you better than Angela. She did see it in the store and think of you~
- She definitely buys things just because she knows you like them and makes things because she knows they’re your favorite. It really is like having a home away from home whenever you go over to their house: like having another mother; one you might even trust more than your own.
- Martha would obviously love to have a girly girl in her life but she wouldn’t mind a tomboy either. She might prefer it when you act or dress more feminine or subtly urge you to do so but you’re still gonna be a sweet little girl to her, regardless of how you dress or behave. As long as you let her dote on you like a girly girl, she really doesn’t mind.
- At first, you were just included in the “sweetie’s” call, but she slowly started to call you sweetie on your own and now she just addresses you by pet names like 90% of the time.
- She used to apologize when she found herself treating you like one of her own children; even if she really wasn’t sorry, but she stopped apologizing the longer you spent a part of their lives and now she’s perfectly comfortably treating you that way: preening you all motherly like and giving you hugs and such.
- You tend to give her the praise she constantly seeks out and she absolutely loves it. Sometimes she goes above and beyond to make you happy just because of it.
“Wasn’t that nice of me, hmmm?”
- You can always depend on her; even if she’s a little scatterbrained. Got sick at school and moms not answering the phone? Aunt Martha to the rescue. Got your first period and embarrassed to tell anyone? Don’t worry dear, she’ll take care of everything. Mom doesn’t allow makeup? “It’s our little secret” she’ll tell you after she buys you some cosmetics.
- Speaking of: she’s always jumping to take care of or help you when you’re sick or injured. She’ll bandage you up and/or fret over your symptoms, making you soup or telling you to lie down; even journeying over to your house with a care package when she learns that you’re under the weather.
- Overall, it’s just a very nice experience. She never once feels like just your friends mother: she’s an adult who you can trust and truly feel comfortably around; even if she’s a little prim and proper.

What if I just ran with the concept crew and made them like, actual characters? What then? (also, some miscellaneous thoughts down below)
Idk why, but I imagine Humphrey and Ricky being best friends. Like, dramatic leaps into each others arms after being separated for no more than five minutes levels kind of close. Humphrey is just glad to have someone else who (seemingly) isn't miserable or paranoid around, and Pat likes having someone who is legitimately cheerful at his side.
None of the ghosts baring Ricky know anything about Julian's real life, and Ricky refuses to spill, thinking it's kinder to give him a clean slate. (until the truth inevitably definitely comes out during a big fight and Julian is left reeling for days). Even so, Ricky finds it hard to completely separate Julian the Politician from Julian the Ghost, especially because of the whole, you know, alleged cheating thing. Julian doesn't know what Ricky's deal is but keeps trying to get on the guy's good side.
Humphrey is the only ghost Ricky's told about the whole Julian thing, and he physically cannot hide his open disdain for the man.
Fanny thinks there's something more to Julian, though she thinks he's lying about the amnesia, but finds him a useful subject, especially as the only ghost who can physically touch things. He thinks she's terrifying but is slightly in awe of her.
Fanny and Thomas are quite close, being two of the oldest ghosts, very mad scientist and her long suffering assistant vibes. 
Ricky and Cap are initially on bad terms, Cap feeling threatened by Ricky's superior leadership skills, while Rock finds Cap a pain in his side, constantly getting in the way of things. Over time they settle into a grove, Cap accepting his role as Ricky's right hand man
Humphrey and Thomas bond over their love of Shakespeare despite their majorly different personalities.

Sanders Sides Ride the Cyclone AU
Have I watched this musical in person? No.
Do I have a vague understanding of the characters so that I can assign a character to them? Yes.
Was I inspired by the rat being named Virgil? Also yes.
Roman as Ocean
Remus as Noel (wants to be that f**ked. up. girl.)
Patton as Constance
Janus as Mischa
Thomas as Ricky
Virgil as Karnak (a very anxious Karnak, but Karnak no less)
And last, but definitely not least:
Logan as Jane John Doe
EDIT: BETTER IDEAS
Orange as Mischa (very angry, but I imagine he also has a softer side)
Remus as Ricky (space cat orgy is very him)
Janus as Noel (look, I think of him as being just as weird as Remus but better at hiding it)
Thomas as Karnak and Virgil being the rat

I Love Me — VoicePlay music video
youtube
Everyone has insecurities. Sometimes they can make it difficult to like the person you see in the mirror. If you need a little help loving yourself today, take a listen to VoicePlay and Emoni's upbeat reminder that each of us is unique and wonderful.
[NOTE: After the song ends, Emoni promotes her suicide prevention initiative, #WeMatter. If hearing about this subject would be upsetting, you may want to skip or mute that part.]
Details:
title: I Love Me (feat. Emoni)
original performers: Meghan Trainor, featuring LunchMoney Lewis
written by: Ricky Reed, Gamal "LunchMoney" Lewis, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Meghan Trainor, & Thomas Troelsen
arranged by: Layne Stein
release date: 28 September 2016
My favorite bits:
starting simple but upbeat with just Emoni's melody, Geoff's bouncy bass line, and some snapping
all the informercial-style struggle acting
Layne beatboxing while using the hairdryer, which I have to imagine would have dried out his mouth a bit
those harmonies on ♫ "I'm gonna fly" ♫
Geoff's little grimace when he eats the unmixed protein powder
how low Eli gets at the end of his ♫ ⇘ "I'll be fiiiine" ⇘ ♫ riff
Layne's fantastic percussion breakdown
Tony's crisp interjections as he changes into his comfy goth wear
all of the guys cutting out to appreciate Emoni's big riff
Geoff, Tony, and Eli's legato ♫ "I love me" ♫ rhythm under the higher voices going wild
Earl and Emoni's harmonized ♫ "I don't know about you" ♫ run
Nick swooping in to smooch his husband's cheek, and the way Earl's face lights up 😍
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trivia:
The first hair product Layne wrestles with is their tried-and-true ultra hold spray that keeps their ’dos in place through all of their onstage antics. I'm pretty sure the second one is a styling gel from the same product line, but we only see the back of the tube and the current packaging design is slightly different from the one he had in 2016.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The tattoo on Earl's collarbone that he debates whether to reveal or cover was designed in memory of those lost at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando earlier in the year.
This was their first track mixed by Ed Boyer, a legend in the a cappella recording world. Eventually bringing him into their regular workflow has freed up some of their time and allowed them to do even more and better music.
The video description credits their camera work to "Skyn E. Leggs". What a silly way to say they used a tripod.
When this video was first released, YouTube had a more flexibile option for on-screen links, so selecting one of the singers from the screen at the end of the song portion would take you to an unlisted video that was a full-length cut of just that singer for the entire track. Sadly, those have since been made unavailable, but the voiceplay_randomness account on Instagram managed to get copies of most of them: Layne ● Emoni ● Geoff ● Eli ● Tony

Because I saw someone on Twitter make one and I was already planning on making one:
TSS/RTC AU:
Jane: Thomas (I can't really explain this one but I think it fits)
Logan: Ocean (An admittedly rather self-centered perfectionist character who thinks they're better than their friends but gets a shit ton of character growth and tries to be nicer - it's perfect)
Virgil: Mischa (hear me out: angry guy who isn't "from" where everyone else is who secretly loves his friends)
Roman: Noel (flamboyant character who has a rivalry with the perfectionist character)
Remus: Ricky (I have a legitimate reason for this (incredibly imaginative but was never listened to, incredibly observant, etc.) and a funny reason ("Porno is magical" is for sure a statement Remus lives by)
Patton: Constance (shocker, I paired the sweet, borderline naive characters but hear me out: Sugar Cloud is literally Patton's theme song)
And finally:
Janus: Karnak (the confusing mystical being who targets the perfectionist and isn't everything that it seems)

HYMN FORGOTTEN 1.mov from Rick Berlin on Vimeo.
DETAILS
BASIC TRACKS recorded/engineered at WOOLLY MAMMOTH SOUND by BRIAN CHARLES & ANNIE HOFFMAN. SIR DAVID MINEHAN loaned Woolly to Brian because his studio, ZIPPAH, burned to the ground last winter.
We were able to overdub Matt Bailin’s guitar solos/rhythm tracks and ultimately wound up using several of Rick’s scratch vocals in the final mix.
THOMAS WENZL (engineer/producer of TRUE STORY with the band) recorded vocals, sax, percussion, Ricky’s guitar tracks, the bells and mixed the record at BITCH KITTY STUDIOS which he has now moved with his family to New Orleans.
Mastering: Brian Charles
All songs: Rick Berlin - Lobsterland Publishing, ASCAP
Cover and insert artwork: COLIN BURNS
HYMN FORGOTTEN
touches upon that slender tread connecting us all, heart and soul, even as we (existentially) exist apart. Our ‘separateness’ could be what binds as one humanity. The connection we all experience of love felt, lost, and re-imagined. A sort of hymn remembered, one that won’t hurt your knees as you kneel in phony church. Alone, we stand together.

+4 new wanted connections have been added.
MALACHI DUBOIS (RICKY WHITTLE) is looking for PEN PAL. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP (40-46), but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+this connection is very open to interpretation. details of how they met or began to write one another is UTP. all I require is that someone Malachi wrote to a lot while he was overseas as he didn’t have family he could write to. So this person is someone who is incredibly special to Mal. He’s been in Denver for 15 years now, so they likely have met in person, but for some reason, maintain their writing to one another !) 
MALACHI DUBOIS is looking for THEIR MILITARY BUDS. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP, but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ Mal’s been out of the military for nearly two decades now due to a medical discharge (info in his intro post), but he still attends groups at the VA and keeps up with his military buds. Once a month, they all get together to have some drinks and shoot some pool. I’m imagining some casual friendships. I’d also like if one of them was more of a close friend – maybe they work out together every day – someone Mal can confide in, who uniquely understands his circumstances and helps him with managing his PTSD!) 
ELIJAH LOOMIS is looking for HIS EX. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP 28-33 (suggestions include Niko Terho, Alejandro Speitzer, Amber Midthunder, Zion Moreno, Morgan Holmstrom, Thomas Elms, Aason Nadjiwan, Praneet Akilla) but you can reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKINGto find out more! (+ this is someone that Eli dated after Noah’s mother, so they’d 100% know that he has a child and would have to be okay with that. For the most part, the relationship was stable and supportive, and Eli could see himself getting serious about this person. Ultimately, they ended up splitting because Eli wasn’t quite sure whether or not he was ready to be in a serious relationship yet. Whether they’re still friendly with Eli or hold some level of resentment towards him is completely UTP!) 
MALACHI DUBOIS is looking for HIS EX/THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP (suggestions include Ilhan Sen, Kendrick Sampson, Daniel Henney, Dylan Bruce, Li BingBing, Aishwarya Rai), but you can reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKINGto find out more! (+ as a note, this connection is incredibly open for interpretation. I’m simply imagining a lot of pining and unresolved feelings. Malachi hasn’t had many serious relationships in his lifetime. He’s shied away from them for a variety of reasons, one of which is his PTSD. I imagine that this is someone he dated after returning stateside and for whatever reason, they ended things. It’s been some time, but Malachi still wonders about the what ifs!)

Ricky Ponting: A Cricket Legend's Journey to Glory
Ricky Ponting, the name synonymous with excellence in the game of cricket, is a legendary figure whose remarkable journey through the sport has left an indelible mark. His story is one of determination, passion, and unparalleled success. In this article, we delve into the life and career of Ricky Ponting, tracing his path from a young aspiring cricketer to becoming one of the most iconic figures in the history of the sport.
Early Life and Cricketing Beginnings
Born on December 19, 1974, in Launceston, Tasmania, Ricky Thomas Ponting showed an early affinity for cricket. His prodigious talent was evident from a young age, and he quickly rose through the ranks in the cricketing world. His first taste of international cricket came in 1995 when he made his debut for the Australian cricket team.

He is the only cricketer to have scored over 13,000 runs in both Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket. Additionally, he holds the record for the most centuries scored in Test cricket by an Australian.
The 2003 Cricket World Cup Triumph
One of the most memorable chapters in Ponting's career is his captaincy during the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup. He led Australia to a resounding victory in the tournament, and his innings of 140* against India in the final remains etched in cricketing folklore.
Legacy and Impact
Ricky Ponting's impact on Australian cricket is immeasurable. His dedication, work ethic, and unrelenting pursuit of excellence inspired a generation of cricketers. He set the standard for what it meant to wear the Baggy Green cap and instilled a culture of excellence within the Australian cricket team.
Post-Retirement Contributions
After retiring from international cricket in 2012, Ponting continued to contribute to the sport. He took up coaching roles, including serving as an assistant coach for the Australian national team. His insights and guidance have been invaluable in nurturing the talents of future cricketers.

Meeting and Dating Ricky Thomas
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)
- You first met Ricky after moving into his neighborhood. Your parents thought that it would be a good idea to send you to summer camp while they got your new house ready so they asked around and settled on Camp Arawak. 
- They mainly decided to send you there because they found out that Ricky; who was your age, would be going there. Your parents had asked the boy to take you under his wing since you didn’t know the place and he begrudgingly; up until he met you of course, accepted. 
- He was expecting you to be young with the way your parents had approached him but as he stood at your front door watching you lug your bags down your stairs, well, lets just say you certainly weren’t a kid. He could immediately feel his spirits lift. 
- Your father thanked him for looking out for you and you gave him a shy somewhat embarrassed smile. After saying goodbye to your parents, you turned and followed him to the bus stop, your nerves at an all-time high. 
- Ricky is very pleased with the situation. His summer has certainly started out well. He introduces himself and starts making conversation the instant you’re away from your parents, asking you questions about yourself and all that good stuff. 
- When you’re finally at the camp, he acts as your own professional tour guide, telling you all that you need to know, showing you to your bunk and telling you where you can find him. You thank him and head off into your cabin while a million different scenarios involving the two of you race through his head. 
- Due to the nature of your meeting, Ricky has the perfect excuse to force himself down your throat. Come on Y/n, I’ve got the perfect plan for this activity. Hey Y/n, I’ll walk you to the building; you know, so you don't get lost. Y/n, those girls are jerks, come on, lets hang out all alone together over here. 
- I feel like Ricky wouldn’t even ask you out, he’d just sort of assume that the two of you were dating from how much you hung out and how accepting you were of his; what he thought was obvious, flirtation. I mean he certainly wasn’t subtle about his interest in you either but you probably just thought that he was being friendly and that that's how all guys; or at least guys from your new city, acted. 
- That was why it took you by surprise when; all of a sudden, he just started speaking like the two of you had been a couple. 
“Hey Y/n, I was just thinking that maybe you’d want to go steady?” He spoke as though it were a completely normal thing to say, busying himself with swinging a stick back and forth as he did so. 
- You were completely taken aback …but then it all clicked. The compliments and teasing, the constant company, the different places he’d taken you when you were all alone. They’d been dates. He had asked you out, it had just been so nonchalant that you hadn’t realized it wasn’t just another hangout.
- You liked Ricky so it wasn’t difficult for you to agree to his proposition, but even if you hadn’t liked him like that at first …were you not sort of in too deep to back out?
- He gave you a smile when you agreed, taking your hand and telling you to “come on” as he led you into the trees beside the trail you were on. He stopped when the two of you were perfectly hidden, placing his hands on your shoulders and pulling you into a kiss. Two romantic surprises in one day, how lucky were you! 
- So that's the story of how you got your first kiss and found out that you had a boyfriend all in the span of a few minutes. Definitely a good one to tell to your future kids. 
- Pda all the time. Touching you is always a good thing in his eyes and everyone around you being able to see that you’re a couple is just an added bonus.
- Literally everyone has to know that you’re together. You’re his! Arent they jealous? Look at how wonderful his girlfriend is! Hey, he said look not stare! Keep those eyes to yourself bastard!
- He likes to keep his arm around your shoulders whenever you’re walking or sitting together.
- Kissing in the woods.
- Pecks on the lips. They always make him smile.
- He genuinely has a hard time keeping his eyes off of you. You’re just so pretty and you’re his, he knows he’s a heartthrob but boy he feels like he got lucky.
- His kisses are somewhat clumsy but nice. They’re pretty much always gentle and chaste but you always have more than one so you never mind that they’re short and sweet.
- Lightly tugging at his hair when you kiss. You sort of do it absentmindedly but it drives him crazy, if you know what I mean.
- Handholding. It just feels natural to him. He’ll often reach for your hand in the dark whether you’re sitting and watching something or he’s walking you home.
- He likes being the big spoon when you cuddle, nuzzling his face into your neck and hair as he pins you close to him. He also likes when you face each other, your face buried in his chest as his arms wrap themselves tightly around you. Regardless of the position, you always feel safe in his arms which is exactly what he wants.
- Stealing one of his shirts to sleep in. You can’t exactly cuddle when you’re at camp so his shirt will have to do.
- Nicknames? Are you kidding. He’s got pages full of them.
- He never minds any of your odd quirks. He just accepts you for who you are.
- He literally cannot see you out in public and just not talk to you. Hanging out with his friends? You guys go ahead, I’ll catch up with you in a minute.
- Anytime you visit, he tries to usher you out of his house as quickly as possible. His mothers eccentricity sort of embarrasses him.
- Becoming friends with Angela and Paul.
- Getting to hear about all the shenanigans he got himself into with Paul. He likes being able to impress you with his stories.
- He likes walking you back to your bunk after dinner or the little gatherings that the camp has. Is it mainly because he gets a goodnight kiss? Maybe.
- Getting little handpicked flowers and pretty weeds.
- Going swimming together. He cant even hide his pleased grin when he sees you in a bathing suit.
- You allowed him to touch your boob ... once. It literally made his entire year.
- Arcade dates.
- Sneaking out to see each other at night.
- Not a lot of things scare or creep him out. He’s got no problem squashing a big for you or proving that there’s nothing there when something goes bump in the night. None of your teasing threats ever scare him either.
- Listening to him brag when he wins a game.
- Trying to get him to watch his language and keep out of trouble. I suggest using the argument of: well if you’re being punished then we can’t hang out together.
- He teases you a lot but it’s always good natured.
- Tricks and pranks. He likes messing with people but in your case, he does so nicely. He’ll also occasionally ask you to help him prank someone else which is a nice change.
- Sarcasm and smartass comments.
- He’s definitely the type of guy to say that he doesn’t understand girls whenever you say something suspicious or the two of you have an argument.
- He’s annoyingly good at persuading and guilt tripping you into doing something when he really wants it. They’re never anything bad or malicious, don’t worry?
- He has a habit of showing up at just the right time. It seems like he always just happens to be there when you need him.
- He’s good at comforting you, even though what he says is fairly juvenile. It’s all in the way he says it and the way he touches you.
- He may act like a jerk sometimes but he really does care about you a lot.
- He questions you about the guys he’s jealous of, asking you who they are and how you know them; or what you’re doing if you seem to be flirting.
- Some of the older guys at camp; the ones that he regularly pisses off, have definitely flirted with you just to mess with him. He’s still bothered by the fact that they managed to make you legitimately flustered.
- He makes sure to take care of you. Haven’t eaten? He’ll grab you something. Look tired? Did you get enough sleep last night? Someone upsetting you? He’ll tear their heads off and shit down their throats.
- No one is ever gonna hurt or upset you in his presence and outside of his presence. He’s always running to your defense and acting like your knight in shining armor. He’s protective when it comes to the people he cares about, it’s just a part of who he is.
- He’s definitely gotten into some fistfights in your honor and to protect you. He’s pretty much a powder keg when it comes to defending you.
- He’s got a temper which means two things. 1) You’ll have to learn how to calm him down properly or 2) you’ll have your fair share of fights.
- Fights can definitely get heated and blown out of proportion because of his short temper. Occasionally, he’ll insult you and/or you’ll break up but he always comes back and admits that he didn’t mean what he said.
- No matter what you were fighting about, he’s always able to worm his way back into your heart, even though he’s pretty bad at apologies.
- He’s not one for all that mushy gushy romantic stuff so he rarely says that he loves you. Instead, he shows that he does through his actions.
- The future is certainly going to be a bit ...turbulent, but he hopes that you’ll stick by his side for a while.

Bellamy Blake~We Are Grounders
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
<follows storyline, so may contain *spoilers*>
Bellamy Blake x FemReader
Synopsis - you are injured after Clarke closes the drop ship. You and Bellamy have to get to safety.
Word Count - 3.1k+
**Warnings** violence and death
a.n. - I apologize for the delay on this. I was out of town and had little to no service. I hope you enjoy this long Bellamy imagine.
‘'Wait, Jasper, look at this.’’ I say to him. He quickly comes over to me and looks at the wires that I point out. The grounders are getting closer to getting behind our walls, and we’re trying to find the right wire to light the rocket fuel under the drop ship. If we can figure it out, we can get rid of the grounders from at least a mile, or so, if not more.  
‘’Y/n. This will work.’’ He gets to working on it, and I sigh lightly with relief. We don’t have much time. Raven is in critical condition with her gunshot wound. I haven’t seen Bellamy or Octavia since we spotted the grounders. They are in same foxhole, I haven’t heard anything on the radio, but I can’t focus on that now. We have to get this to work, or we’re all screwed, no matter what.
I climb myself out from under the drop ship to check on raven. Jasper said he had it, and he didn’t want me to be under there any longer, just in case anything went wrong. I lean over Raven, but her eyes are closed. I try and tune out the gunshots and sounds of screams and cries of my people dying.  
‘’Clarke! Y/n, they’re taking down the gate.’’ Someone bursts through the parachute hanging from the drop ship opening.  
‘’Good. Because I did it... I think.’’ Jasper’s head pops up. I hear one of our walls being pushed down.
‘’I’m closing that door.’’ He says.
‘’Wait! We still have people out there.’’ Clarke says. We both stand and make our way to the opening.
‘’Bellamy’s not back yet.’’ I tell them as I push the parachute over and look out at what’s going on.
 I gasp when I see many of our people on the ground, dead, or severely injured. Someone calls out for the grenades to be launched, and they are causing small explosions and fires wherever they are thrown.
‘’Alright. Jasper! Get everybody, get inside now!’’ Arrows whiz past our heads and Finn pushes me and Clarke down to hide behind two barricades. My eyes dart back and forth, trying to see if there are any more people that need help. Our landmines go off, and the guns are still firing shots.
‘'There he is!’’ Finn shouts, and I look to where he is pointing. I see Bellamy crouched and coming from one of the tunnels we made.  
‘’He’s never going to make it. Bellamy run!’’ Clarke yells, and I take half a second before I stand up and run towards him.  
‘’Y/n! No!’’ I hear behind me, but I ignore them and pick up a gun on my way towards him. A grounder comes up to him and he raises the gun but nothing happens. I run faster when he his hit in the face, then the stomach. I kick the grounder, but it barely fazes him and he punches me, then cuts a deep gash in my leg.
‘’Ahh.’’ I fall to the ground, very dazed. He starts beating on Bellamy again, but I can’t get back up. All I can do is hold my leg, to try and apply pressure. I hear a gunshot go off, but it doesn’t hit anyone. I then see Finn run into the grounder, tackling him to the ground. I pick myself up, and go to Bellamy. He stands and charges at the grounder, and punches him a few times. He pushes Bellamy back again and goes for Finn. I muster up my strength and kick the grounder again, using my good leg for support, and my bad leg for contact. He swings his sword at me again, but I back up just in time for it to miss my stomach. Finn grabs him again, and they fight.  
I hear the drop ship doors being closed, as it slowly goes up. I nod my head lightly, content with the choice Clarke made. This must mean we have everyone inside that we could save. The grounder hears the door closing and he pushes Finn to the side before making his way to the door to try and get inside.  
‘’Bellamy, Y/n, we need to go. They’re going to fire the drop ship soon. We have to get as far away as we can.’’ Finn says and helps me up.
‘’My leg.’’ I say, and Bellamy quickly takes a look. I guess it doesn’t look good because he says nothing.  
‘’Can you run?’’ He asks me. I nod, knowing that for now, I can run. For how long or far is the question.  
‘’I can.’’
‘’You got this, and I got you. Come on.’' He puts his hands on my shoulder to reassure me, and I nod before we start to move. Finn leads the way out of the camp and we follow, going a little slower. I limp as we run, but I keep pace, knowing we need to get out of here before they light the fuel.
After a minute of running, Finn holds up his hand. We stop and crouch behind a fallen log. He points and I follow his hand when I see a few grounders.
‘’You guys keep going. I’ll draw them away.’’ Finn says.
‘’Absolutely not. We can’t split up.’’ I argue.
‘’We don’t have a choice. We need to keep moving. Whoever is not in the last is falling back this way, and we need to find somewhere to wait it out until we can go back. You’re too injured to run much longer, and Bellamy is not going to do it because he needs to stay with you. So, I will. End of discussion.’’ He stands up before either of us can saying anything else in protest, then start running, making some noise so the grounders follow him.  
‘’Y/n, it’ll be okay. We’ll get back with everyone, but for now, we need to go.’’ I nod, and follow behind him.  
~~Bellamy’s POV~~
I hear an explosion, and I know it’s the rocket fuel being lit. I lightly push Y/n into a tree and cover her body with mine. I feel debris hit me in my back and fly past our faces. I get closer to her, trying to cover more of her body. After thirty seconds, I back away from her, and I notice how pale her face is. She doesn’t look great, but if we can get somewhere safe, I can help her.  
‘’Bellamy,’’ She croaks out, and I cup her face with my hands. ‘’I can’t, I can’t keep going. Just leave me here, and I’ll figure my way back. I’m keeping you back, and you need to get away and find everyone. I’ll, I'll be okay.’’ She whispers. I shake my head, dismissing this.
‘’I’m not leaving someone else I care about. Don’t you give up on me. Don’t give up on yourself. Trust me, you can do this.’’ She closes her eyes, and a single tear rolls down. I wipe it away with my mud-covered hands and kiss her forehead. She nods and I put my arm under her to hold up her body and we start running again.  
~~~~
It’s early morning, and by now I am carrying Y/n on my back. I lightly jog, knowing that the grounders could be close. They have better stamina that me, so they could anywhere near me.  
I stop, seeing a small drop off. I let Y/n down softly, and I quickly take a look at her face. She’s is looking a little worse, the wound may be getting infected, or it may be poison, like Octavia. I jump down, but quickly draw my hand back when I hear my name being called by someone who isn't Y/n. I see Monroe and Shay standing there and I lower my hand. I reach for Y/n, and grab her waist to bring her down to level with us.  
‘’Get back down.’’
‘’You were followed?’’ Shay asks me.  
‘’Quiet,’’ I look over our surroundings, this being the first time I actually stopped. I crouch back down and grab Y/n’s hand. ‘’Have you seen Finn?’’ I ask them.
‘’Finn’s alive?’’
‘’He was. We got separated. We knew the fire was coming, so we ran. I had Y/n, so he had one of them follow him. How’d you guys get out?’’
‘’We, saw The Ark come down, and we thought we’d come get help. Piece of it came down this way. Monroe thinks it’s Mecha, but personally I thi-.’’ He is cut off when we hear voices just beside us.  
‘’Finn?’’ Y/n asks quietly.
‘’Follow me. Stay low and quiet.’’ The two nod, and I see Y/n nod as well. ‘’Not you, you’re staying here.’’ I whisper to her. She shakes her head at me.  
‘’If it’s Finn, I'm helping. Now, let’s go.’’ She gestures for me to lead the way.  
~~Y/n’s POV~~
He stares at me, trying to get me to back down, but I don’t. He lightly sighs before walking forward, all of us behind him. He quickly moves from tree to tree, using them for cover. I limp behind the tree of them, trying not to be heavy-footed, or make too much noise. I crouch next to Bellamy when i get to where he is, ignoring the fire shooting in my leg, and look on the other side of the tree. I see two of our people tied to the back of a horse. Wait, one of them is Finn. The grounder unsheathes a sword, and grabs the one that fell to the ground.
‘’No!’’ Finn shouts before the grounder slices the boys throat, and I turn, not being able to watch. Bellamy looks at me, and I close my eyes for a second. We have to get Finn, we can’t leave him there. The grounder walks closer to Finn, looking like he is going to kill him, but he doesn’t. He gives him a flask of water and pulls him to his feet. They start moving again, as do we. I turn to the boy that was killed, making sure I remember him and count him as a man lost. 
I ignore the feeling of wooziness and pain as we pick up the pace to get to Finn and the grounder. Bellamy constantly looks back at me, so I make no faces, and try to make no noise. We stop behind another tree, and Bellamy speaks.
‘’I know you’re scared. But we are warriors. We can do this.’’
‘’How?’’
‘’We attack as a team. When he goes for me, Monroe goes for Finn. Once he’s free, it’s five on one.’’
‘’What do I do?’’ Shay asks.  
‘’Stay with Y/n, and try not to die.’’  
‘’Bellamy, no. Let me help.’’ I protest, not wanting to just sit here while they fight for their lives.  
‘’Y/n, you’re injured. You’re staying, understood?’’ I grumble at him, but nod. ‘’Okay. Ready? One...Two...Three.’’ Bellamy jumps up and starts running. Monroe and Shay both don’t move, and I eye them. Monroe is supposed to be his back up. Bellamy shots at the grounder before turning and realizing no one is behind him. ^^^I stand, trying to make my way to him when Shay stops me.
‘’I’m supposed to watch you. Don’t go.’’
‘’Yeah, and he also needs back up, since neither of you can provide.’’ I run down to the best of my abilities, seeing the grounder punching Bellamy continuously. I gather my strength and stab the grounder in the back with my small knife, just to distract him enough to get off Bellamy. He turns, angry, and slaps me across the face, making me fall to the ground. He pulls his sword out and raises it. He strikes it down, but I move in time for it to slice me in my side instead of striking my heart. I hear Bellamy shout, but i can’t do anything but lay there.
~~Bellamy’s POV~~
‘’No!’’ I shout at the grounder, so he won’t touch her again. I grab him and pull him away from her, and he starts hitting me again. I’m punched a few more times, at this point, not able to do anything for myself before my wrists are tied together with rope. He stands me up and walks to the front of his horse.
‘’You have to keep up. He’ll kill you if you don’t.’’ Finn whispers to me. I turn to see Y/n on the ground, not moving, and I pray that she isn’t dead. Despite my efforts, tears well up in my eyes, but I don’t dare let them fall in front of the grounder.
‘’Ahhh!’’ Finn and I both turn behind us, seeing Monroe and Shay shouting and running down to where we are. The grounder moves from his horse and gets ready to stab each of them. They get a little closer when a shot rings out. We all duck down, covering from the shots, and I see the grounder fall to the ground with a bullet in his head and stomach. We look around confused, and I see Marcus Kane, and a few other armored men comes from the trees.  
‘'We’re here now. Everything’s going to be okay.’’ He says. I am confused, but quickly avert my attention back to Y/n. I crawl to her, and put my hands to her neck, feeling her faint pulse.  
‘’Please, help her!’’ I shout. Kane whistles and many people come from the trees, but the only one I care about is Abby. The medic. Someone else unties Finn, and Finn unties me. I stand to get to her, but she stops me.
‘’Don’t stand.’’
‘’I’m fine. Please, it’s Y/n. Check on her.’’ She nods and swiftly moves to Y/n. She looks at her stomach and leg for a second before saying that she needs to get medical. Now. A few of the men bend down to grab Y/n. They start to jog away with her, and I try to go as well, but I’m stopped.
‘’What are you doing?’’ I ask as Kane is standing in front of me.
‘’You two have to lead us to the drop ship. We have to get everyone else back.’’
‘’But, I need to get to Y/n.’’ I fight and start to try and walk again.
‘’Y/n is being taken care of by Jackson. She will be okay. Now we’re here, and you listen to us. Take me to my daughter.’’ Abby says. I look at her like she’s insane. They sent us down here to die, which Y/n is doing and we have to listen to them? After we have survived on the ground without them this long? I scoff, and start to walk before I am hit with a taze bar and fall to the ground.
‘’She’ll be there when you get back. Take us now.’’ Kane says, and I blow out a breath, in shock from the pain. I stand, and start walking, Finn right next to me. The quicker I get over this bull, the quicker I get to Y/n.
~~Y/n’s POV~~
I wake up on a bed in pain. I open my eyes and look at the ceiling before remembering where I was before this, and it’s not the same. I move my eyes to look around and see I’m not in a tent, and I’m not in the drop ship. Panic rises in me as I don’t know where I am. I quickly sit up, then groan and grab my stomach. I look down at the pain and see a white bandage wrapped around my torso, covering my entire stomach.  
‘’Oh, you’re awake.’’ I turn quickly to the voice, ignoring the pain. I don’t have any weapons from what I can tell, so I am extra alert.
‘’Where am I?’’ I ask the voice. The man turns back around, and realization dawns on me. ‘’Jackson?’’
‘’Hi, Y/n.’’ He was my neighbor on The Ark.
‘’Am I dead?’’  
‘’No,’’ He chuckles. ‘’We came down to the ground. You’re in our medical unit.’’ I blink a few times, and I remember seeing it come down, but it exploded. I think of all the events previously.. The grounders, the rocket fuel, running, Bellamy trying to save Finn. Bellamy.
‘’Where’s Bellamy? Is he okay? Finn?’’ I ask.  
‘’Bellamy and Finn are okay. So are Raven and John.’’
‘’Wait, that’s it?’’ I question. Those are the only people left.
‘’They were the only people we fou-.’’
‘’Can I talk to Bellmay?’’ I cut him off.
‘’You’re not supposed to. He’s been arrested.’’ Jackson explains.
‘’For what? What could he have done since you have been on the ground for not even a week?’’ I turn my body and make myself stand, almost falling. Jackson grabs my arms to stabilize me.  
‘’He assaulted Murphy.’’
‘’Murphy killed two people. Tried to kill him, and shot Raven. He’s lucky he’s still alive.’’  
‘’You know the rules Y/n.’’
‘'Well, we’re on the ground. Those rules don’t apply anymore. Now let me see Bellamy.’’ I say sternly. He sighs and nods.  
‘’I don’t know how you’ll get there. We don’t have wheelchairs or anything.’’ He moves from me, and walks to the makeshift door. I follow him, pushing down the pain.
‘'I’ll walk. Now, let’s go.’’  
I follow Jackson as he walks through The Ark, and we make it to a glass room, and I see Bellamy and Murphy sitting across from each other. Both of their heads are down until they hear the sound of the door being opened.
‘’Y/n?’’ He tries to get to me, but he is wired to the pole sticking out from the ground.  
‘’Bell.’’ I make my way to him and I hug him the best I can with his arms tied, and my wounds.  
‘’They wouldn’t let me see you. It’s been almost a day. I was so worried.’’ I pull away from him and look at his face. I cup his cheeks and lightly kiss his chapped lips. He kisses me back, slightly more eager.  
‘’Eugh, get a room.’’ I hear Murphy say. I pull away from Bellamy again, and look at Murphy.
‘’Don’t start.’’ I warn.
‘’I’m sorry, but I have to get you back to medical, Y/n.’’ I sigh and look once more at Bellamy.
‘’It’s alright. I’ll see you soon. I didn’t do anything too bad. Finn is out there too, he’ll come visit you.’’ Bellamy says. I nod, and kiss his cheek before I stand.
‘’I love you.’’ I say, this being the first time we’ve said those words to each other.
‘’I love you too.’’ He smiles, and I turn to follow Jackson back to medical with a small smile on my face.

Hello! Can you do a Thomas Shelby imagine based on the song ‘Line without a hook’ by Ricky Montgomery or even just the lines ‘she’s a, she’s a lady and I am just a boy she’s a, she’s a lady and I am just a line without a hook’ maybe where they meet at this fancy party ball gala thing and she’s wearing a gorgeous dress and they just dance the night away😩😩 love you so
· The Emerald’s Lifelong Wait · 
Author’s note: Hello! Thanks for requesting this! I love music and listening to new songs, I feel it’s almost like entering a new tiny piece of world. I had so much fun incorporating my perception of this songs lyrics into my work and I hope you enjoy it and have the loveliest of days! ❤️
Warnings: None that I can think of, maybe season 3 spoilers.  
· 
Thomas Shelby didn’t like fancy galas and events but he put up with them because he knew social connections were what moved the world. When Grace was alive she made the endurance of said aristocratic events bearable, but in her untimely absence Thomas was left to sit with politicians, business men and occasionally their wives who were all a bit to keen on Mr.Shelby, completely alone. He didn’t care for any of them. He didn’t care about their golf jokes nor about what they had to say unless it had the potential to benefit him and his company. 
That particular Friday evening was no different than others, there he was drinking expensive champagne as an old woman told Tommy an incredibly detailed story about how her husband had met the king once. A woman speaking non-stop about the accomplishments of her husband and those of her daughters. A woman that  had never learned how to live by herself, Tommy concluded within the first five minutes of the conversation.
At a moment between the woman’s recollection Tommy’s eyes were caught by tiny dancer he had never seen before. A woman, in an emerald dress, dancing alone in ethereal fashion to the band’s whimsical tune. For Tommy, seeing her was like finding hope in a heart attack.
He politely excused himself from the king’s friend’s wife and made his way towards the enthralling dancer. She smiled at him when their eyes first met and Tommy felt all his bones coming back to his body, something he hadn’t felt in a long time.  
“May I have this dance?” He asked politely.
“You may, Mr.Shelby” she smiled again.
She caught him off guard. He had never before seen this person and yet for a strange reason, this unknown woman knew his name.
“So you Know who I am, but I don’t know who you are”
“You can call me Y/n”
They spent the rest of the night dancing and talking and for once since Grace’s passing, Tommy didn’t feel out of place. He learnt y/n was the daughter of a wealthy aristocrat. She knew the name of every person attending the gala. Her last name rang a bell when she introduced it to him and he remembered the old woman’s story concluding that the old woman was Y/n’s mother.
When Y/n bid him goodbye that night he didn’t miss the way her eyes lingered on his lips, almost pleadingly. Maybe it was the champagne he had been drinking or maybe it was the sense of serendipity that filled his senses , or maybe he didn’t want her to be unsatisfied, either way, he kissed her.
After that night Tommy couldn’t take Y/n out of his head and apparently she couldn’t take him off hers either, because the very next day he got a letter from her inviting him to Tea. Tommy didn’t do tea invitations but since it was her, he accepted.
After a few more “dates” Tommy felt himself falling for Y/n and for a while he was happy again, but as things had a way of going with Thomas Shelby, OBE, he soon felt conflict boiling deep inside him.
He couldn’t ignore the nasty looks posh people sometimes gave Y/n when she was with him. Perhaps because she was slightly younger than him or perhaps because despite his powerful position, aristocracy would never forget where he had come from. She was a lady and he wasn’t a lord, he was just a line without a hook.
His thoughts became harder and harder to ignore in her presence, increasing each time she smiled at him with that smile he loved or with the petal like sound of her voice.
“What’s wrong” she asked well aware of Tommy’s change of behavior.
She had wanted to ask him about it but had pinned it all on business. However when things didn’t get better, her curiosity became all too tempting.
Her head was laying on his chest, his arm loosely resting on her naked waist. The lack of eye contact making her utter the question way more freely than she could have without the lack of it.
“Nothing’s wrong” dismissed Tommy.
“Well, something’s changed” she insisted.
And something had changed. As of late, she was always the one who looked for him and he always seemed distant when they were together, like at that very moment.
“Just don’t worry about it”
“I can’t just not worry about it when you’re distant and cold with me”
Her voice had a smidge of pain and he heard it.
He heaved a sigh and thought of what to say, trying to weave his worlds carefully so that they didn’t hurt her,  but she beat him to it, moving a bit to look into his blue eyes.
“Talk to me” she pleaded.
He looked into her eyes that he loved so and with a sigh confessed
“You know what I do” he began and she nodded. “ I don’t like the way people look at you because they also know what I do”
“Tommy...”
“ When I found you I found hope y/n. I don’t want you to ever leave me but I also know you can do better than me. My life, I, was a wreck. You can ask anyone, but then along you came and made it all better. I don’t want to drag you into this wreck that I am”
Y/n tenderly placed her hand on his face, the contact making Tommys confession feel much more intimate “I’m glad I pulled you from that tide, Tommy “ she said before pressing a soft kiss to his unchaste lips. “And I don’t want anyone but you”
Tommy gave a weak smile. He did believe her but his facial expression said otherwise inciting Y/n to continue. “I mean it, Thomas Shelby. I have been dreaming about you ever since was a child and having you here, feeling you here…” she said tracing her finger delicately along his jaw “ feels like the most joyous culmination of a lifelong wait”
Tommy could see in her earnest eyes that she meant every single word and in that moment, his worries lost their meaning. He needed her to stay and he knew, she would stay.

LUCY IN NEVERLAND
1939-1973
Lucille Ball and her various film and television projects had a loose connection to Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up from the J.M. Barrie story that served as a play in 1904, and a novel in 1911. It was later translated into numerous stage and screen adaptations, and inspired many others. 
Tumblr media
n 1953′s “Lucy Hires An English Tutor” (ILL S2;E13) pregnant Lucy made Ricky read aloud from the book to test his command of the English language.  Fans will realize that the text Desi reads in the episode has nothing to do with Peter Pan!  The children’s book is just a prop.
Tumblr media
The choice of book may not have been coincidental since the guest star, Hans Conried (playing Mr. Livermore), had just voiced Captain Hook for the Disney animated feature film of Peter Pan to be released just a month later, in February 1953. Conried was a favorite of Lucille’s, having made dozens of guest appearances on her radio show “My Favorite Husband.”
Tumblr media
The ‘Peter Pan Connection’ actually began in 1939, when Lucille Ball starred in the RKO ensemble film Five Came Back. One of the ‘five’ was Wendy Barrie (top with Lucille).  Although born as Marguerite Wendy Jenkins, she took the stage name Wendy Barrie in honor of her Godfather, author J.M. Barrie.  Not coincidentally, Wendy is also the name of the eldest Darling child in “Peter Pan.”

In a March 8, 1955 episode of “Make Room for Daddy” titled “Peter Pan” Danny’s 7-year-old son Rusty imagines that he can fly like Peter Pan, so his father invites the theater's elderly stagehand to the house to dispel the fantasy and bring Rusty back down to Earth.  The characters lived in New York City and had seen Mary Martin (who did not appear in the episode) in the musical production at the Winter Garden Theatre. In reality, the stage production closed on February 26th to prepare for a live television broadcast on NBC, which aired on March 7, 1955, one night before this episode aired. Danny Thomas sings a song from the stage show at the end of the episode.  Mary Martin was mentioned on “The Lucy Show” in 1964 by guest star Ethel Merman, who was also a big Broadway star like Martin.

In “Lucy the Gun Moll" (TLS S4;E25) in 1966, Lucille Ball not only played Lucy Carmichael, but a nightclub singer named Rusty Martin who sang “My Heart Belongs To Daddy”. The name 'Rusty Martin’ was probably derived from Lucy’s hair color and the surname of Mary Martin, who introduced the song in the 1938 Broadway musical Leave It to Me. Marilyn Monroe sang it in the 1960 film Let’s Make Love.

Desilu Studios was the filming location for "Make Room for Daddy”. When it switched from ABC to CBS in 1958, the show did a cross-over episode with “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour”.  In return, Lucy and Desi appeared on “Make Room for Daddy.” Coincidentally, Hans Conried, who voiced Captain Hook in the Disney animated version, was a recurring character on “Make Room for Daddy” as Uncle Tonoose.

In “Return Home from Europe” (ILL S5;E26) aired on May 14, 1956, Ricky comes up with the idea to fly home from Europe instead of taking the steamship, When Ricky wonders whether he’ll make it back in time to perform at the Roxy, Lucy evokes the name Peter Pan, the main character of the J.M. Barrie children’s story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up - but could fly (without help from Pan Am, that is).

In “Vivian Sues Lucy” (TLS S1;E10), Lucy Carmichael calls Vivian ‘Tinkerbell’ due to her propensity for ringing her bedside bell while (supposedly) incapacitated.

In “Lucy and the Winter Sports” (TLS S3;E3) aired on October 5, 1964, Lucy Carmichael skis off the roof and lands on Mr. Mooney!  He had just bent over to tie his shoe...

In 1966′s “Danny Thomas’ The Wonderful World of Burlesque” Lucille Ball performed an aerial ballet. Peter Foy, of the famous Foy Family (who did flying on Broadway for “Peter Pan” and other shows), was brought in to supply rigging and supervise Ball’s flight. Film of the act later became part of their archives.

In “Lucy Meet Mickey Rooney” (TLS S4;E18) in 1966, Lucy Carmichael claims to have played Captain Hook in “Peter Pan” while in school. 
Tumblr media
in “Lucy’s Tenant” (HL S6;E7) in 1973, Lucy Carter sarcastically calls Mary Jane Peter Pan when she brings up Lucy’s age!  
Tumblr media
In “The Bow Wow Boutique” (HL S6;E5) aired on October 8, 1973, a Saint Bernard is named Tinkerbell. In “Peter Pan” Tinkerbell is the name of the fairy who is Peter’s closest friend.  Not coincidentally, the Darling children have a St. Bernard dog named Nana, who serves as a pet and a nanny.
