Inspiration Saturday/Seven Sentence Sunday 💕
I'm baaccckk. It's been minute but I've been away with my girlfriend for nearly a week and it's exam season which means that I should be working on my paper. But here we are and I came up with yet another AU lol. Aaaand also made a moodboard for it

Soldier/War Correspondent AU
Tumblr media
(Story and tags under cut)
Staff Sergeant Eddie Diaz bears the visible imprints of a life spent in the crucible of war. His sun-kissed skin and prematurely graying hair are a testament to the countless deployments and the myriad of challenges he has faced since joining the army at the age of 18. Eddie's stoic demeanor hides the depth of his experiences, and his piercing gaze reflects the proud resilience of a man who has faced the horrors of conflict yet remains committed to his duty. Despite being a decorated soldier, Eddie carries the weight of survivor's guilt, unsure if he truly deserves the accolades bestowed upon him.
The St. Christopher's medallion, a cherished possession given to him by his ex-wife, dangles from a chain around his neck, providing a glimpse into the personal talismans that anchor Eddie amidst the chaos of war. As a leader, Eddie embodies strength, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to his comrades, his very presence a testament to the sacrifices made in the name of duty.
In contrast, Evan Buckley, a 32-year-old war correspondent exudes the confidence of someone who has navigated the complexities of journalism for nearly a decade. His hard exterior and sometimes perceived arrogance stem from a deep understanding of his own capabilities and confidence earned through years of reporting from the front lines of conflict.
Despite his outward confidence, he carries the weight of the stories he has witnessed, and beneath the bravado lies a journalist deeply affected by the human cost of conflict. His journey as a war correspondent is fueled by a commitment to shedding light on the untold narratives and fostering understanding in the face of global turmoil.
And a little snippet inspired by 3 x 15 and the music video from the song 'Gone Away' by Five Finger Death Punch (my babies ahhh)
The crackling radio broke the silence in the aftermath of the ambush, blood staining Eddie's face, hands and armor. The air was acrid and filled with the smoke from the crashed helicopter, parts spread all around him on the ground, only adding to the vision of destruction. Eddie could barely lift his head to grab his radio, Command trying to break through. The realization of him and his fellow soldier, Sergeant Anita Mills, being the sole survivors of the ambush was slowly sinking in as he brought the radio closer to his face, his voice weighted with grief as he spoke into the receiver.
"Command, this is Diaz. Reporting three K.I.A. We need-... Requesting extraction from our current location. I repeat, requesting extraction and confirming three K.I.A. Chief Jennings, PFC Binder and Sergeant Norwahl are gone"
Mills looked at him with sorrowful eyes, her chest rose and fell in a strained and heavy pace, her head hung low between her knees, the weight of her armor pressing against her throat, restricting her breathing but she couldn't care less about herself in this moment.
The reply from Command crackled through the radio, the voice on the other end offering condolences laced with the stoicism of military protocol. "Acknowledged, Staff Sergeant Diaz. Our thoughts are with you and Mills. Proceed with caution, and we'll arrange for extraction once the area is secure"
He nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on the wreckage of the helicopter, a poignant reminder of the friends he had lost in the chaos of war. Eddie and Anita found themselves grappling with the weight of confirming the loss of three lives, the echoes of grief lingering amidst the unforgiving and darkening landscape.

Propaganda
Anita Page (Our Dancing Daughters, The Broadway Melody, Our Modern Maidens)— She's as stunning as you'd expect someone once dubbed "The Girl With The Most Beautiful Face In Hollywood" to be, but what makes her stand out for me is the sweetness of her features. She comes across as very genuine.
Jean Arthur (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Easy Living, The Talk of the Town)—Always found the best facial expression and the perfect line delivery, so nailed the transition from silent film to talkies (her voice is CRAZY btw- high and overly sweet but also so gravelly she's like a breakfast parfait), then went on to dominate roles in multiple genres well into her 50s. Such a great personality both onscreen and off, and to our end pulls off 'gorgeous,' 'sexy,' and 'cute' all at once (in a word: hot!)
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Jean Arthur:
Tumblr media
i had to submit every movie of hers ive seen so far because 1) shes GORGEOUS. 2) extremely gifted with comic timing and delivery and whats better than a confident beautiful woman that makes you laugh. and 3) seems to effortlessly blend wit emotion and logic in her performances in a way that sometimes is just so... it tells you as much about the other characters shes interacting with as it does her own (see this clip from mr smith)
youtube
Adorable and sultry with a voice that went from urban smartass to sounding, as director Frank Capra described it, more like tinkling bells than a voice has a right to sound
jean arthur wearing bucksin trousers and a little hat in the plainsman was fully my queer awakening. i love that woman so much. she has defined calamity jane for me. also she is adorable and heartbreaking and SMOKING HOT in deeds like everyone needs to experience her, she's everything to me
Tumblr media
She's a chameleon, rocking any hair colour and any style, any mood and any genre. And she's got such a fine, captivating smile!
Truly amazing talking voice, like eating pop candy. Played wise cracking gals with hearts of gold. Once got arrested for trespassing because she went to console a dog that was being mistreated. Angel. Star. Baby. Winner!

Ruben Dias x Reader - Brotherly Love Part 3/6
Tumblr media
Summary - The sequel to The Houseguest where Ruben and Reader have been dating long distance for a year. The two of them finally plans to spend a holiday together, but to Readers suprise and disappointment, Ruben brings her brother Bernardo with them.
Once again you went to bed alone but woke up to Ruben by your side. He was snoring in a deep sleep, tired from entertainig Bernardo all night and not you,  his girlfriend.
You got up and out of bed, leaving Ruben to his slumber. Your parents were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary today. You came downstairs to see that preparations for the party were already being made.
"Morning. "
"Y/N! Good morning." Your dad rose from the kitchen table at the sight of you. "How is my beautiful daughter?"
"I'm okay, I guess. How was your drive down here?"
"Great, honey."
He called for your mother, who poked her head out from the living room.
"Y/N! Good to see you again. How is work?"
"School mom, I'm still in school."
"Of course you are. How is school?"
"Can someone help me with these?" Anita entered the room carrying a box of garden lights.
"Here, I got you baby."
She was followed by your exboyfriend...
"Thomas?"
"Y/N." He paused at the sight of you. "H...how are you?"
"I'm good thanks. How are you?"
"I'm..."
"Yes, yes. Everyone's good. A little help please."
Thomas rushed to unhand the box of lights from Anita.
"Y/N, go wake up Bernardo. He is supposed to pick up the groceries from the fish market. We are having seafood tonight."
You could only imagine Bernardo asleep in his room, hungover from last night.
"No. Don't worry, I can do it." You said. The house was getting a bit crowded already. You needed to get out.
Arriving in town you strolled down to the bustling fish market, the salty ocean air filling your lungs as you navigated through the crowds of merchants and customers. You had always loved this place, the smell of fresh fish and the sound of seagulls crying overhead transporting you to a simpler time.
As you browsed the stalls, your eyes scanning the array of colorful catches, you noticed a handsome young man watching you from across the way. He had piercing green eyes and chiseled features that seemed almost too perfect to be real. You felt a flutter in your chest as he caught your eye and smiled, his lips curving up into a charming grin.
"Hello there," he said, sauntering over to you with confident strides. "What brings you to our market today?"
You felt yourself blushing at his forwardness, but there was something endearing about him that put you at ease. "I'm just picking out some fish for dinner," you replied, gesturing to the basket in your arm. "And you are...?"
He flashed you another dazzling smile. "I'm Victor, the merchant's son. And I must say, you look absolutely breathtaking today."
You laughed, feeling a spark of attraction ignite within you. "Thank you, kind sir," you teased, trying to play it cool. But Victor wouldn't let up - he continued to flirt with you shamelessly, making you laugh and blush with every passing moment. It felt good, capturing a man's attention like this. Ruben had you forget how easy it could be.
As you and the merchant's son bantered back and forth, you found yourself opening up to him in a way you rarely did with others. You told him about your studies and your dreams of working as a pediatrician. You even mentioned Ruben, how you were suppose to spend the holidays together.
"So, do you think Ruben loves you back?" Victor asked suddenly, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
You hesitated, unsure how to answer. The truth was, you weren't entirely sure. Ruben was a good guy, kind and caring, but sometimes you wondered if he truly understood you the way you longed to be understood. Some part of you believed that in Ruben's eyes you would always be Bernardo's little sister.
"I don't know," you admitted softly, looking away from Victor's probing gaze. "We've been together for a while now, but it's long distance. Sometimes I feel like we're just going through the motions."
Victor nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood exactly what you meant. "Well, maybe you need someone who will sweep you off your feet and show you the world," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Someone who will make you feel alive again."
You felt a jolt run through her body at his words, your heart racing in her chest.
"Um, I've got to go, but thank you for the fish."
You left the market in rush, arriving home to see that everybody was going ahead with their day. Ruben was up. He and Bernardo were making a fuzz by the pool. They looked so childish, you thought. You felt guilty about went down at the market, Ruben didn't deserve that sort of behavior from you no matter how much you resented him for paying more attention to your brother than he did you.
"What took you so long." Anita said, unhanding you the bags of seafood.
"There was a line." You lied. You headed upstairs to take a shower and get ready for tonight. After all, today was not about you.
However as the night wore on, things only got more complicated. For some reason Bernardo became increasingly agitated, constantly glancing at his watch and muttering under his breath. Your parents and Anita seemed oblivious to the tension, laughing and making small talk with the rest of the family. Meanwhile, Thomas kept stealing glances at you, a strange expression on his face.
"What?" You asked him at some point. But Thomas ignored you, turning to Anita, asking her to pass him more food.
You had Ruben beside you, his hand on your thigh. He must've been aware of how annoyed you were because he kept leaning towards you, asking what was wrong.
"I just need some air." You said and got up to leave.
"Y/N. Get met me another cold one will you." Bernardo said.
The audacity of him. Considering how his habits almost destroyed the entire villa last night. You were suprised that Anita hadn't brought it up during dinner. Not even Ruben brought it up. Why were they covering for him, you asked.
"Get one yourself." You frowned.
"Y/N." Your mother hissed. The whole dining room fell silent with your remark.
"It's okay mãe. Y/N thinks she's better than us because of that fancy school she goes to."
"Excuse me?" You gasped. It was the last straw for you. If Ruben wanted to deal with Bernardo, fine, but he was not dragging you along with him. "You know what Bernardo..."
"What?" He grinned, having successfully made you angry.
"Someday you'll also go far and when you do please, stay there."
"Y/N!" Your parents gasped, however, you left the house before they could lecture you.
"Y/N, stop!"
You got as far as down the road, when Ruben came running.
"What?" You asked, folding your arms.
"What's the matter with you?" He said furiously.
"What's the matter with me, what did I do?"
He pointed back to the villa. "What you pulled in there was pretty fucking childish."
"I'm childish?" You chuckled in disbelief.
"Yes, you. Your brother clearly has a problem and you aren't helping him at all."
"Well, good thing you're here to save the day Ruben. A little bad timing though, don't you think?"
He shook his head, not really understanding you.
You sighed, realizing the hopless of the situation. "I get that something like this would happen. You being Bernardo's best friend and me being his sister."
"Somthing like what?" Ruben asked. Like you, he didn't like where this was going.
"I refuse to be a third wheel in this relationship Ruben. Maybe it was a mistake for us to be together in the first place."
"Hey, don't say that." He closed the gap between you, raising a hand to cup your cheek.
"I really like you Ruben." You nodded. "So fucking much."
"I like you too Y/N. You have no idea, you're all I think about."
You shook your head. "No Ruben. Bernardo is all you think about."
It was selfish of you, that you were well aware of. But growing up you always felt like you were living in the shadows of your older siblings. You always wanted somthing of your own, someone to call yours. Clearly Ruben wasn't him.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do this."
You backed away, letting Ruben's hand fall to the side of him. He stood frozen, his expression confused.
"I'm so sorry." You repeated, turning your back on him and continued making your way down the road.

Category: F/M, Gen, M/M

At a Glory convention, Dai Yanqi meets Ye Xiu who is helping Su Mucheng buy her favorite doujinshi. They surprisingly hit it off as they browse through all the doujinshi about their peers and talk about Glory.

IMAGES: Sunflower (Rawpixel, ID: 2687359), lightning (Rawpixel, ID:10200699)
MATERIALS: Domtar Earthchoice (textblock - 20lb, cream, 11x17 cut down to 8.5x11), Recollections paper pad (endpapers - Dark Watercolor Florals), Iris bookcloth (covers - Eggplant), Verona bookcloth (covers - Hot Toffee), Ribbon (covers - 1/4", shell grey), embroidery floss (endbands - 209 Very Dark Lavender), leather cording (endbands - 1.4mm), Ceramcoat acrylic paint (painted edges - metallic silver), Anita's acrylic paint (painted edges - 11038 Purple), Reeves acrylic paint (painted edges - Violet & Crimson & Blue Lake, Payne's Gray), waxed linen thread (sewing textblock - 30/3, white), Books by Hand (glue - pH neutral PVA)
PROGRAMS USED: Affinity Publisher (typesetting), Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, LibreOffice Writer (QR codes), Bookbinder-JS (PDF imposer)
BINDING STYLE: Split-board binding, French double-core endbands
(Belated) Binderary Book 2024
My first year participating in Binderary and I'm 2/2 with my goals, albeit slightly late (even with the added leap day).
Goal No. 1: Bind a book!
This fic is an orphaned work, with no author available for me to reach out to. Convenient, since it was a last-minute decision.
Goal No. 2: Finish typesetting the fic that got me into this whole bookbinding/fanbinding hobby!
Bad Boys JEDI Style is a 217 chapter, 908k word "comedy of errors: in which our heroes are recruited to film a reality holo-drama". Much to my despair, the fic I loved had been deleted from every site it was uploaded to, and I was left kicking myself for not having downloaded a copy from AO3.
Shout out to Kam and Lofe, whose wonderful Binderary demos were put to use in the making of this book! Kam's French Double-Core endbands demo was super helpful, sizing up the 'textblock' and components made it easy to actually see what's happening with the sewing. Loffe's demo introduced me to the split-board binding technique and, sleep-deprived hiccup notwithstanding, I think I might find it easier then bradel style binding! Need to bind more books to know for sure (such a hardship 😔).
In other new-s, I took my dad's recent workshop baby for a spin. The bookbinding plough works like a dream! I tried a hidden fore-edge painting for the first time (just a solid colour), but the purple is lost under the Payne's Gray basecoat I applied to the silver painted edges. Adding ribbon to the cover was also new (mostly due to the fact that I never remember until the endpapers are already pasted down).
Tumblr media
On the Design
Cover
This is a Team Thunderclap!Ye Xiu AU, so the cover was based on Team Thunderclap's uniforms from the donghua (from the one screencap of the team I found, see below): purple across the shoulders and forearms of their jackets with a yellow stripe down the centre. I added silver ribbon as a nod to the white of the jackets as well as the grey gear of the team's logo. Also in reference to the title: yellow=sunlight, silver=moonlight.
Tumblr media
Title Page
The title page stumped me for a while. While brainstorming title page design ideas, I thought about what the title means. In English it's poetic but nonsensical, so I wondered if maybe it held some meaning in Chinese?
As it turns out, it does. Kind of. Maybe. (If I stretch and reach for it, it makes sense). According to a quick search of one webpage for each query, "'White Moonlight' usually refers to a person or thing that is elusive in the heart, has always been loved, but cannot be touched" or "an 'unforgettable first love'." The sunbeam itself might be Ye Xiu, the figurative ray of light, the hero, the gaming idol. Or 'catching a sunbeam' could refer to how "sunflowers turn their heads to catch every sunbeam."
The potential meaning I have cobbled together is how Dai Yanqi turns Ye Xiu's head and captures his heart by sharing the (SanXiu-ified) story of Su Muqiu, the aforementioned white moonlight. Is this what the author intended? Who knows. But it does seem plausible enough to inspire me.
I ended up using both the idea of sunflowers and Thunderclap's uniforms (again). Lightning referencing the team's logo, and also the white colour of a flash of lightning which is kind of like moonlight. The logo's background is blue, as is the uniform as seen on the cover of the manhua featuring the captain Xiao Shiqin (see below), so I made the background blue-purple.
Endpapers
Tumblr media
The (not-actually-)sunflowers carried over to the endpapers, as well as the grey colour from the gear in Thunderclap's logo.
Endbands
Kept these simple. A solid purple, as close as I could get to the bookcloth. I didn't want to draw attention away from the stripes on the covers or the silver edges.
Probably could've gone for thicker cores.
The text
For the scene breaks I used a special character of a gear. The cog also looks like a sun. Which is fun because it can reference Thunderclap, the title (sunbeam), and my design choice of sunflowers.
I reused the lightning image at 50% opacity as a background to set apart the backmatter.
Misc.
Recently, I've begun to increase my efforts of preseving fanfiction and safeguarding the stories I love from purges and takedowns. (Sparked by the December 2023 scandal about Sony announcing an upcoming removal of content including the movies and TV shows that people have purchased).
This fic has been archived via the Wayback Machine at https://web.archive.org/web/20240215155152/https://archiveofourown.org/works/37414021?view_full_work=true.
Also, curses be upon Rawpixel. Since the time that I had downloaded the images, they have now be placed behind the premium user paywall (along with a number of other graphics and elements that used to be free).

“Wake up mama and talk to Elvis”
Gladys Presley died of a heart attack on august 14th 1958 at 3:15am in her home in Memphis Tennessee.At 46 years old Gladys died of a heart attack to her drinking and the stress of her son Elvis leaving to be in the army.her and Elvis where extremely close
“She’s all I ever lived for. She was always my best girl”-Elvis after Gladys death
After her death Elvis was devastated. He was in the living room walking back and fourth with his mothers nightgown clenched in his fists just holding it to his chest . People sat around unable to help he paced around crying “you can’t leave me , you just can’t leave me I need you so much”. He looked around the room and spread his arms out “all this is for you it’s not for me, what good is all this to me if your gone?” The night gown he was holding was now drenched in tears. He hadn’t slept in a long time he was tired and completely worn out.
“I’m gonna quit show business , il completely quit”he continued to walk around the room he didn’t seem to see anyone who was in the room with him. “I’m going to travel a while , all over the world il never entertain again I’m leaving show business , it’s over that’s it” he held the nightgown to his cheek “I want to get away from all of his , I want to go somewhere else” he stoped in the middle of the room “mama come back” he yelled “please wake up, mama! Come back!”
Lamar Fike wrote- “I just broke my heart when Gladys died but god Elvis , they brought her back to Graceland and he got nearly hysterical started that wailing again. It made my skin crawl. When people can to pay their respects he’d take them over to the casket and talk like “here’s Eddie mama. You remember him you met him down in Texas”. People heard him say things like “baby, I’m going to miss you” and “wake up now mama and talk to Elvis”
Four weeks after her death Elvis was shipped oversees he never had time to get over her death it was said he carried her nightgown around for weeks “wouldn’t put it down for anything” slept with it in the chair and cried all the time “he probably needed grief counselling”-all quotes from Lamar Fike
Elvis was Gladys everything. She once told Anita wood “Anita I was so devastated when we lost the baby ,that I just put everything into Elvis that’s why I get so concerned about him . He’s just my everything”

Year-End Poll #40: 1989
Tumblr media
[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Chicago, Bobby Brown, Poison, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Bette Midler, Milli Vanilli, Will to Power, Anita Baker. End description]
More information about this blog here
NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE the number another summer!
Okay Public Enemy didn't crack the top 10 so I'll stop.
But yes, we've reached the end of the 1980's. Soft rock and ballads are still a surefire way to perform well on the charts regardless of the changing trends. But one of those changing trends I'd like to shine the spotlight on is the rise of new jack swing, with the chart presence of Bobby Brown (formerly of New Edition), Paula Abdul, and Janet Jackson. The genre, with its fusion of r&b, funk, hip-hop, and dance will largely be associated with the 1990's, but these artists and tracks helped to set the foundation before we move into the next decade.
Another artist on here I want to talk about is Milli Vanilli. Not because of the song itself, but because it's a weird moment of music history and I want to talk about it. Girl You Know It's True was the duo's most popular single, but it was also the song that led to their downfall. For those who don't know, Milli Vanilli was one of the first major instances of an act being caught lip syncing during a performance after the backing track kept skipping. This wasn't a case of an artist lip syncing to their own tracks either, but rather it was revealed they were lip syncing to someone else's voice. The story goes to some rather sad places and it's questionable how much control Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan (the two men making up Milli Vanilli) had over their careers. According to the producer, Frank Farian, the session singers were brought in because he didn't believe the two men to be capable of singing themselves. Their request to sing on the album following the controversy were turned down and the group was fired. To this day, Milli Vanilli remains the only musical act to have a Grammy Award revoked by the Academy (seriously if you look up the 1990 award for Best New Artist, it still says "none"). While we won't get a major lip syncing scandal like this until Ashlee Simpson's 2004 SNL incident, the debate over lip syncing will continue in the coming decades. Especially with the rise of dance music, and artists like Martha Wash demanding credit for the use of their voices.

OMG! You write for Moriarty The Patriot?! Ugh, my heart is bursting with excitement! *wipes away sweat* Alright, here's my request:
The Moriarty brothers with a tomboyish baker s/o who makes them the tastiest baked goods and desserts. Unfortunately, with her messy hair and plain clothes, she doesn't catch a lot of attention (ofc the boys thinks she's beautiful the way she is)
One day, however, a noble lady wanted to invite her (and the brothers) to a party she's hosting so she can humiliate her because she's a "peasant baker girl". But s/o has a secret plan up her sleeves.
On the night of the party, the brothers are looking for their lady (who asked for her baked goodies to be delivered to the party by other staff) and she's nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, the manors doors open and in comes s/o dressed in a simple yet gorgeous ball gown with her hair worn elegantly much to the brothers' (and everyone's) shock
Well hello my lovely anon💕
Im so happy to do this request because we have some ✨DRAMAAA✨ heree😌💕
Im so sorry for the wait and hope this was what you wanted💕
Star of the night
Tumblr media
/reader’s pov/
It was such a beautiful day i wore my pants and my white t-shirt, Louis and I came to store to buy something for dinner. Of course when we were in the store i didn’t get much attention of guys and that’s good for me, I have my boys and I don’t need someone else. But girls always had something to tell me.
“Lord Louis how are you”, one lady said.
“Oh Lady Anita, pleasure to see you Im good how are you?”, Louis said.
“Im good how are you?” She asked and grabbed his hand.
As they were chatting and everything i saw that Louis never put Anita’s hand away from his. Does he likes her? Is it because she is more in dresses unlike me?
“Am we are in hurry Lady Anita but it was lovely to see you”, I said and took Louis’s hand and went out.
We were driving to mansion and i was still thinking about that in shop.
“I don’t like her baby, and no Im not lying you are beautiful the way you are”, I looked at him and saw that sweet smile he had.
I just smiled at him and got out from carriage because we got to mansion. As we entered the house William was heading downstairs.
“Sweetheart what a pleasure to see you earlier home today, but where is Louis?”, he asked and than Louis got inside.
I kissed other brother and got myself to kitchen. I wanted to bake something because it will help me for my mind.
As i was preparing cookies i felt someone running to me. He got me in the air and kissed me.
“Hahhaa when will you stop doing this?” I asked the oldest brother.
“Never”, Albert said.
He sat on chair we had in kitchen and looked at cookies.
“Don’t you dare to take one before I finish”, I said.
He looked like one little angry baby. So cute.
“Alright, alright. Lady Anita invited us to her party and asked if you can bake a cake for the party”, he said.
“Yeah I can do it, but i don’t have any beautiful dress to wear”.
“Babe you are beautiful in pants too. Wear what you want not what people want”, he said and kissed me.
I smiled and got back to bake cookies and to see what cake i will backe for Lady Anita.
/time of party/
“Have you seen (name)-chan?” Louis asked.
Other Moriarty brothers looked at him and shook there heads as no. At that time Lady Anita came to them in her beautiful rose gold dress.
“Moriarty brothers, It’s pleasure to see you all here, but where is (name)-chan. I wanted her to be a star of the night”, she said and had little smirk on her face.
“She should be here any minute”, Albert said.
“The cake was delivered by some young man”, she said.
When brothers wanted to say something everyone were looking at the doorway. I walked in, my dress was in 3 layers and 3 colors. Light blue was first layer, than red and than emerald green. Each color was for each brother. I walked to them.
“Good evening everyone. Lady Anita my pleasure to be here tonight”, I said.
I could see jealousy in her eyes, but last thing that was said to her for the night was by William.
“You were right miss Anita, our (name) will be the star of the party”, he said with smirk on his face.
She just went back to her friends and only thing I will say is the night was magical, because of my precious lovers.

Tumblr media
A week for Brian and Roger's canon pairings!
🗓 When? From Wednesday 12th to Sunday 16th April
🔍 Where? On Tumblr and AO3!
✨️ Tumblr hashtag: #BrianRogerShipsWeek23
📚 AO3 collection: Brian_RogerShipsWeek23
How? This event is open to all kind of content creators! Writing, fan-arts, video edits, meta and photo appreciation, moodboards, music covers...
RULES under the prompts!
Each day will be dedicated to a specific CANON pairing that involved Roger and Brian in a meaningful and official way in their real lives. This means no crack ships such as Queen x Queen, Queen x Roadie, Queen x OC, etc.*
Only Roger x Dominique/Debbie/Sarina and Brian x Chrissie/Anita!*
PROMPTS:
Day 1: Roger and Dominique (12th April)
Language barrier
Surprisingly powerful
Take me anywhere, I'll follow you
When I look and I find I still love you
Day 2: Brian and Chrissie (13th April)
Hair, hair, so much hair!
Opposites attract
Please, I really need you to hold me right now.
White Queen, how my heart did ache
Day 3: Roger and Debbie (14th April)
Under the sunshine
Growing family
Baby you got a fire in you
If I could only reach you, if I could make you smile
Day 4: Brian and Anita (15th April)
I love to do everything at your side.
You're really stubborn!
Vegetarian dinner
Baby I know what my poor heart needs
Day 5: Roger and Sarina (16th April)
This would be a great tattoo!
It's not a matter of age
Touring with Q+AL
Incredible how you can see right through me
RULES:
💕 *Poly ships are allowed as long as they include at least two people from the canon ships (random examples Roger x Dominique x Crystal OT3, Brian x Anita x Roger x Debbie OT4, Brian x Anita x OC OT3 etc.)
👑 Looking forward more crack ships that involve Brian and Roger or for Queen events without shipping? Soon there will be Poly Week > @queenpolyweek and Gen Weekend! So check out @queen-fandom-calendar for all related events!
💕 Genderbends are allowed, and any Alternative Universe as well! (A/B/O, different historical period, non famous, fantasy, Soulmates, etc!)
🔥 NSFW works ARE ALLOWED. Be careful to tag everything properly and do not engage with adult content if you're a minor.
💕 The invite is to write fics that celebrate these couples and the love they brought to Brian and Roger's lives. Angst is allowed, but since most of the already existing fics regarding these couples (specially Brian-centric) are already angsty, about cheating and/or marriage issues, the main suggestion for this event is to focus instead on the positive and good aspects of them. Romance, good endings, rekindling a relationship or building a family, touring together, acceptation, having fun...
What can you do:
Like all Ship Weeks, this is a fandom event to share love and creativity related to a particular couple, so be sure to engage with the entries and support all the artists and writers that chose to join! Reblog, leave likes/kudos and comment on the artworks to keep the fandom alive! 💜💖💕💜💖💕
If a work is not tagged appropriately, you can reach out to me via DM and I’ll warn the author. If anything makes you uncomfortable, simply close the work! Do not engage by leaving nasty comments or messaging the author!
If you need a hand, HERE'S a useful guide for tagging your works.
And HERE'S a guide on how to post anonymously on AO3!
📖 As a reader:
Positive interactions are always much welcomed, don't be shy! Support the authors by leaving likes, a comment (even a little one!) and sharing their work through recs and reblogs. On AO3 you don’t need an account to leave Kudos and Comments! (Unless the author has willingly prevented guests to comment). To leave a comment on AO3 as guest you simply have to choose a temporary mail and set your email to get a notification for an eventual reply.
‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️
During the event, if any of you/your entries gets hateful comments or messages towards you, your entries, any of the ships, the event or other creators, please DELETE the hateful comment/message right away with no interactions and let me know! This is no place for haters, just for creativity and love.
If you see a hateful comment on other works do not engage, instead leave a positive comment to the same work and support the author! 💜
I hope you're all going to have fun and write beautiful stories for the event! As usual, if you have any doubt or question reach out to this blog's askbox! 🥰 Don't forget to share!

I wonder how The Stones children feel about they’re parents doing drugs, having sex with multiple people, having to have multiple stepmoms, or reading a book about how they were pretty much unwanted. I feel bad for Jade Jagger, Marlon Richards, all of Ronnie’s kids, Nicholas Dunbar and Brian’s kids. They have to continuously hear about how their parents were on drugs. Like Anita was on bad drugs with all 3 of her children, I wonder how they felt being around that. Or someone like Jade how both parents not really being there for her and then judging her for being just like them. Or Karis having to see her mom struggle most of her childhood while her dad didn’t even want to claim her. Or Brian’s children who probably only seen him on tv or in magazines because he didn’t really come around for them. Or Nicholas who’s mother was on terrible drugs and was sent to his grandma after his mom tried to commit suicide, it’s a lot to swallow.
Many of the Rolling Stones children have talked about this, specifically Jade Jagger, Marlon Richards, and Brian Jones' children. I mean, that couldn't have been easy, which is why some of them either acted out when they were young or completely stayed away from the spotlight. Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg's son Marlon said his parents were both reckless and very heavy drug addicts. In fact, Anita did heroin while pregnant with her daughter Angela and even gave birth to her in a rehab clinic, and Keith once fell asleep at the while and crashed his car with his son in the back seat. One of their children even died at 10 weeks old from SIDS while in her care. Keith's mom had enough and took their daughter Angela to live with her and said Anita was a bad mom.
And yes, Jade always talks about how her parents were never really around and how she was treated like a mascot instead of their daughter. Mick was always on tour or doing whatever with whoever, while her mother Bianca was a "socialite" who partied at nightclubs or would travel for days leaving her daughter alone with nannies. Her childhood wasn't very pleasant as she had to fit into their lifestyles, which is probably why she acted out a lot. She did drugs, was kicked out of school, and even dabbled in "soft porn". Paparazzi even caught her having sex on a nude beach in Europe. She's a hot ass mess!!
Tumblr media
Karis is the total opposite! Her mother, Marsha Hunt, was a real hands-on parent who took her everywhere with her, provided her with a great education (even though she couldn't afford it), and kept her out of the limelight - probably a main reason why she doesn't do any interviews or cares about celebrity culture. I don't think I've ever even heard her mention her father before. The asshole didn't claim her until she was 12 years old. TWELVE!!!!! That's a loooooong time to deny your fucking kid. It's unbelievable that she wants anything to do with him. And even though she grew up poor and on food stamps, she had an extremely normal upbringing as opposed to all her siblings who are now "professional Jaggers". You never hear about her in the news, but can you blame her? After the way the media treated her mother back in the day, I wouldn't care either. She's very strait-laced and a real class act.
Brian Jones was probably the worst of them. By the time that fool was 19, he already had 3 children by 3 different baby mamas and didn't take care of any of them. Not one! That was his M.O.: he would date some teenaged girl (And I mean young, like 16/17 years old), knock her up, then abandon her and the baby, at times leaving them to starve. His third baby mama, Pat Andrews, even outed him about his behavior in 1965:
youtube
A few of his other baby mamas actually gave the children up for adoption because they couldn't raise them on their own. But that had to be painful for all his children. They all lost a father they never knew, they didn't even know they had siblings growing up until they met each other in their late 20s and 30s. Another one of Brian's sons actually spoke about him and this pattern of treating the mothers of his children with such disregard:
Also, Nicholas Dunbar is not Mick Jagger's son, even tho the skinny mf spent more time with him when he was a baby than his own damn child Karis. Ain't that a bitch?!

Dream for a Dream
Lila cares for the second youngest of the Hargreeves-Gill household once more, and this time, she finds it a bit harder to let her maternal instincts go
Or, in other words, Five gets taken care of by Lila again and she decides to make a decision.
Hi, for you all :D @aka-tua-braindump @rebel-by-default @lookingforhappy
Lila wakes up at the unholy hour of 3 in the morning in complete confusion.
Usually, she only wakes up so abruptly when her mom senses, as Diego called them, suddenly went off, setting off alarm bells in her head before she rushed out of bed to check what Grace needed. This, however, was not a Grace situation as the baby video monitor Diego had set up shows their child sleeping peacefully in her crib. What does get her alarm bells ringing however, is the fact that the second ‘child’ who insisted on sharing a room with the baby so he could protect her at any and all costs had woken up with a start, stuffed his fist into his mouth, and then curled up into a tight little ball that didn’t settle right with her.
And so, she found herself in her child’s bedroom, a small flashlight in hand as the small sniffling noises brought her closer and closer to the junior sized bed that Diego had bought and installed himself. Wrapped up tightly in space blankets, Five is muffling his crying with a pillow in his mouth by the time she arrives and his eyes are squeezed shut as Lila crouched. “Hey…” she taps at the bed, just to try and get his attention. “Hey, little tiger?” He squirms at the nickname, brows furrowing before his eyes opened, all red and puffy. Lila hates how it makes her want to pull him into a hug. Or maybe, she just hates the fact that he’s upset to begin with.
“Sorry,” Five’s voice is raspy, bags heavy underneath his puffy and red eyes. He had fought the majority of his sickness away, but sometimes he stayed up all night, thinking, calculating. Tonight seemed to be one of his smaller days, with a mind that barely stuck on to the adult consciousness he always carried with himself. “I didn’t mean to wake you up.” His voice is a little quieter too, soft and shaky. Lila hums.
“I’m a mom,” she reminds him, “Grace wakes me up for even less than you do. What’s on your mind hm?”
In all his Five predictability, the boy scrubs at his face with his sleeve and shakes his head. “Nothin’,” he says, nose stuffed and word slurred, “nothin’s wron’” Correction, words slurred. Lila doesn’t exactly believe him though, because he looks like he just got the most horrible case of the sniffles, and if he was sick, he wouldn’t have dared to stay in the same room as Grace. “Go back to bed.” Five tries to shoo her away, hiccuping. “Stupid. Why are you here, huh? To gloat that you’ve seen me crying?” And then, he shifts the tables to start accusing her when it’s clear she won’t move. Lila, with a smile, merely shrugs.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
“Leave me alone.”
“Do you wanna talk?”
“I hate you.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Explode.”
“Everyone has—"
“Well, I don’t!”
Five’s voice gets uncharacteristically high, nearly screech worthy if Lila had anything to say about it, and Grace whines from her crib at the sound and Five crumples immediately, hands over his mouth, eyes squeezed shut, pressed up against the corner with trembling shoulders. “Sorry!” He practically sobs, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t—I’ll be quiet. I’ll shut up.” Lila’s heart leaps into her throat at the sight.
“Five got roughed up by the old man the most though.”
“Well, Lila, dear, I had special ways of making him listen to me.”
Immediately, she pulls herself into his bed, not quite touching him but sitting across where if he allowed it, one small movement could have him in her arms. “Hey, hey—I’m not, she isn’t awake, Tiger.” Lila tries to imagine what her actual mom’s voice would sound like. She tries to remember if Anita had ever calmed her down from —whatever Five was experiencing. “How about…how about I tell you one of my nightmares? And then you can tell me yours, so we’re even.” Five looks at her, warily.
“Uu…”
He makes a garbled noise behind his hands. Lila sighs, straightens and nods. “Well, surprisingly , my most recent nightmare has been about you—”
“Me?”
Big blue eyes squint at her. “What—if it’s about your parents, I—I didn’t know and I—"
“Christ almighty!” Lila hisses, “it’s not—you were being killed, Five. Okay? The handler always found a way to kill you, always found a way to bring you to your knees, and I was powerless to stop it. That is what my nightmare was about, okay? So—don’t, don’t get it in your head that I’m going to kick you out just for waking up Grace by accident or whatever is going on through your head right now.”
The silence that surrounds them makes Lila want to punch a wall. She wasn’t good at these sorts of things. Grace was far too young to even remember her nightmares, if she even had them, and the most soothing she did was rocking her and feeding her and changing her diaper. Five doesn’t look at her, now fiddling with his fingers. It’s one of his smaller days, amplified by the sudden nightmare no doubt, so Lila lets him take his time. “That’s scary,” he says after a few minutes, “that the handler came back. She—” he gulps, blinking, “she wasn’t a good person… to.. to either of us.” It’s said with finality, and then, he lets himself crawl forward enough to end up sprawled on the bed and her lap. Lila pulls him up towards herself so he can rest his head on her chest. “Your heartbeat is fast,” Five says, ever so observant. “Was the nightmare about me being dead that bad? I thought you’d like it.”
“Not anymore.” Lila decided combing her fingers through his hair helps him relax. “Now it just makes me scared, and sad.”
“Sad,” Five repeats, “my nightmare made me sad.” He sounds a bit tired. Lila doesn’t say anything. “It was about—uh, you know, my family? Well— it. Them. They don’t like me, I think. No one does. Or well, it feels like no one does. I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It always dropped before.”
Another bout of silence, Lila hums.
“What if I told you there was no other shoe to drop?”
“I’d call you stupid, there’s always a shoe to drop. That’s why there’s two shoes.”
“What if I wanna go my life wearing one shoe?”
“Well that—it’s your problem.”
“Which means….”
Five frowns, blinking up at her. He pushes at her face and groans. “I’m tired! Stop making me think.” Lila struggles not to burst into laughter as she pinches his face, making Five try to crawl away from her to no avail. Tiny little ten year olds couldn’t beat a 30+ year old woman on strength, especially one as noodle limbed as he was. Five still tries though—because of course he does.
“It means that it’s my decision to drop the other shoe or not and frankly, there’s very little that you can do outside of harming Diego and Grace seriously—”
“I’d rather lick a cheese grater than ever lay a hand on my niece and brother.”
“—which I know you won’t do, obviously, there is very, VERY little that would make either of us kick you to the curb.”
Five looks ready to retort. He wants to retort. Lila can see the gears in his head turning before he lets out a yawn, rubbing at his eyes. His head slumps back onto Lila’s chest. “Looks like someone’s tired.” She snickers, earning her a sudden grumble.
“Shut up,” the boy mumbles, yawning, “you’re just…. A really boring mom.”
Lila doesn’t have time to retort when Five starts snoring in her arms and for once, she’s glad the old man slash kid fell asleep so fast.
That way, he didn’t have to see her tears.

3, 12, 14, and 15 for FT asks? :D
Okay so to start with I’m sorry that I took so long to answer this!! Thank you for asking you lovely person and also I’ve been drinking for hours (merry christmas ho ho ho 🎅🏼) so these answers may be a load of unintelligible shit but lol whatever lets go
3. What is your favourite episode and why?
It might be a controversial one but honestly? Episode 1. I just love beginnings. The hope and potential and possibility of a fresh start, the excitement and thrill of the unknown, the electricity of new connections, I’m just a sucker for it. I watched episode 1 when it first aired and honestly felt as though it could’ve existed as a stand alone short film. It was the perfect way to set the scene for the series but also was such a beautifully told story in its own right. Idk if any of you have watched Weekend by Andrew Haigh? Idk if I’m chatting nonsense here but it gave me a similar vibe to that… all the emotion and potential and unspoken truths simmering under the surface, intense feelings manifesting as sexual interplay… all of it culminating in what felt like somewhat repressed and wasted potential. I’ll shut up now lol but it was such a perfect first episode. I could babble about it endlessly.
12. Which song, used in soundtrack, you liked the most?
Ooooh such a good question - are we talking about the score, or are we talking songs that were included? Whatever I’ll do both
Score wise can I just say it is the most fucking gorgeous soundtrack, I am such a slut for a good soundtrack and this one has me in a chokehold I love it. It’s so emotional, I cry just listening to it. Paul Leonard-Morgan I loge you you’re a genius
My favourite piece of music from the score has to be Waiting for Tim, it makes my heart ache. I’d love to say something a bit more eloquent about it but honestly it just makes me want to throw up from emotion ✌️ omg and Forbidden Joy that plays during the game of charades in ep2, that scene makes me feel like someone just scooped out my insides
Aside from the score I loooove anything by Arthur Russell, especially Love Is Overtaking Me. If Its Magic by Stevie Wonder is also amazing, especially as a choice for the opening scene. Also You Turned The Tables On Me by Anita O’Day. And omg Found A Cure by Ashford and Simpson that plays when Tim and Hawk are dancing in the club, so so so good
14. Do you have any unpopular opinions about Fellow Travelers?
Hmm….
I don’t think it’s controversial, but I do think that all the people on TikTok and the like who comment like ‘Fuck Hawk he’s evil and never loved Tim!!!’ must either be emotionally constipated or like 14 years old. Like how can a fully grown adult watch this show and come to that conclusion???? And whyyyy are people so obsessed with good vs bad? ‘Tim is an innocent baby and Hawk is a BAD MAN’ like how is that all you see?? Surely that is the least interesting thing about these characters? The most wonderful thing about this show is that everybody is painfully human, they hurt and hurt others and make mistakes just like we do. How can you boil down an entire human being to being ‘good’ or ‘bad’? It’s boring and I have no interest in it. It’s so telling of the time that we live in, that people immediately want to categorise human beings based on their perceived morality. All the characters in this show are just shades of grey, they are nuanced complicated human beings carrying all the complexity that a human being should carry. The focus should not be on bad vs good. It frustrates me!! That is surely the least interesting thing about these characters!! They have such rich inner worlds and such complex motives and you want to reduce them down to “Hawk is bad man and Tim is innocent baby and Lucy is evil lady” ugh it’s so BORING how is that all you see
15. What is your favourite relationship from the show (could be romantic or platonic)?
Oh this is so easy. Obviously fav romantic is Hawk and Tim - pretty self explanatory, I won’t elaborate or we’ll be here all day
Favourite platonic is Tim and Jackson without a shadow of a doubt, I’ve talked about this quite a lot on here already (I think? Or was that on reddit?) but yeah, I just feel as though they were connected from the moment Jackson was born and, similarly to how infrequent Hawk and Tim’s interactions were, Tim and Jackson remained connected for life, regardless of how much time and distance was placed between them. They were kindred spirits. I feel as though their scenes together were some of the most pure and honest and powerful in the entire show.

Hi baby, I hope you don't mind me, and I also hope your requests aren't completely full. Based on the suggestion of the last post I had the brilliant idea of the fruity three, Valk/Loba/Bangalore hcs perchance :D
If that's alright with you my lovely <33
Everyone say hi again to my partner^
Anyways here are some Valkyrie x Loba x Bangalore headcannons, sorry it's shorter than a lot of my stuff I just didn't have anymore ideas jdbfjsk
CONTAINS: NSFW further down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
《SFW》
• Honestly I don't see Valkyrie and Bangalore getting along romantically, this is probably more of a "Loba has two girlfriends" than a trio couple
• Loba has scary dog privilege, but she can also handle herself and doesn't really need them to protect her
• They do anyways though, walking behind her like body guards pfff
• Honestly both of them are so whipped for her and she loves it, getting to tell people that she has the Anita Williams wrapped around her finger is her favorite thing
• Loba could live the life of royalty if she wanted to, Valk and Bang would do anything she asked of them
• They go shopping too much, Loba makes them carry all the bags full of clothes and accessories
• If Loba pays too much attention to Valkyrie Bangalore will sit (and maybe pout a little) and huff at them
• If Loba pays too much attention to Bangalore Valkyrie will just whine about it and talk about how much better of a kisser and cuddle she is compared to Bangalore
• It's all playful joking banter though, they're happy how they are
• Movie nights are always better when you have a muscular butch on either side of you feeding you popcorn <3
《NSFW》
• This might be an unpopular opinion but Valkyrie bottoms, at least most of the time
• Bangalore is a top, Loba is a top-leaning switch, and Valkyrie is a bottom-leaning switch
• Bangalore and Valkyrie are sexually together, and sometimes they even fuck without Loba there, but that's slightly rarer
• I don't know how to describe positions when there's 3 people but double penetration and eating each other out/sucking each other off are some of their favorite things
• I feel like they aren't super kinky, they bring toys into their relationship (straps, vibrators, butt plugs, shit like that) but I don't think they'd be into bondage or anything really kinky
• Sometimes Loba will tie Valkyries hands together with a scarf or smth but that's it
• But that doesn't mean that they aren't rough with eachother
• Bangalore is a soldier what do you expect? Super loving soft sex? Nah, she overstims them for as long as she wants
• The aftercare is always one of them cuddling Valkyrie while the other cleans everyone up, and then they watch a movie or have a nice meal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for reading! Requests for your favorite ship or favorite characters are always welcome and appreciated!
