hiii I saw you were taking requests for derry girls and if not then disregard this.

I was wondering if you could maybe do hcs for James, Claire and David with reader who's Erin's older adopted sibling. they probs dont take hang out with the full group a lot and tend to just walk around derry listening to music and eating sweets. if you do decide to write this I'd be mighty grateful, you stay safe love ~💜

Oooh! Some are short while some (James) are longer cuz idk how to portray some characters compared to others.

James Maguire:

Since you didn’t partake in Erin’s or her friends chaotic outgoings as much as one would assume and due to the fact you weren’t present when James comes to town; the only way you were made aware of his existence was through Orla and Erin as you were getting ready for bed considering it was a school night had it have been any other night you’d surely be dragged out of the house against your will. “Who’s James?” You asked, spitting out the toothpaste into the sink, wiping your mouth of residue. “Michelle’s cousin who has a really weird accent.” Orla said from her bed while you looked over at Erin for answers, “weird how?” “He’s British.” Erin clarified, brushing her hair out of her face.

“Oh…wait why is he attending our school then? Why not send him elsewhere?” Erin put down the hairbrush to address you with a raised brow, “you sure are asking a lot of questions about James, are you forming a crush on the lad? Without having properly met him at that?” Orla peaked her head up like an excited dog as she stared between you and Erin. “A crush? Y/n has a crush on James already? Wow you really are desperate for love aren’t ya.” This was bound to come up, you saw this coming ahead of time but that doesn’t meant it didn’t get annoying every time you shown the smallest amount of interest in someone. You huffed, shoving past the blonde to sit upon your bed, “forget I even asked.”

“Oh come off it you mardy arse, to answer your question the only reason James is attending our school is because the others would’ve killed him for being British and so on.” Erin said as she joined you on your bed, nudging your shoulder playfully with a smile before retreating to her bed for the night where you spent trying to visualise a face to the name James. All that came up was a blurry silhouette and no voice to accompany it.

How you met was purely coincidental as you were doing your routine of walking through the streets of Derry, hands shoved in the pockets of your jacket, a lollipop hanging from your lips and music blaring in your ears to immerse yourself until you found a boy with brunette hair, sad green eyes that almost looked dark brown from hiding beneath his furrowed brows as his hands clasped together in front of him as he looked up the street whenever someone past expectedly; only to look back down glumly when he didn’t see who he was expecting. He was obviously ditched and wasn’t known prior that you couldn’t help but feel a tad sympathetic towards the poor guy as no one deserves to be ditched…well unless they were an absolute dickhead then their the exception.

Sighing you put away your earphones as you went to sit next to the lad who only looked at you weirdly as you did so, as though he wasn’t expecting anyone to actually acknowledge him. James has heard about you through the girls but those words didn’t compare to the actual person. He knew you the moment he saw the hand drawn music notes on the lapels of your Jean jacket and the legs of your trousers crawling upwards to your mid calf. Erin had told him about your little walks through Derry but didn’t really expect your paths to ever cross from how she went about you.

You were much prettier/handsome in person, James noted as he couldn’t take his eyes away from your face. “Hi.” He said meekly, “I’m James. James Maguire.” “Yeah I’ve heard a lot about your James.” James visibly brightens at this. “You have?” “Yeah, Michelle’s cousin right?” You asked, hoping you weren’t talking to a wrong fella called James but from how he practically beamed that wasn’t going to be the case. “Yeah, you must be y/n, Erin’s adopted sibling.” He mentioned casually, wanting to start a conversation. “Older adopted sibling but yeah that’s me, where’s the girls?” He sighs, shrugging his shoulders, “we were supposed to meet up here but I’m the only one to arrive.”

“Looks like you got ditched my dear James.” You commentated as he huffs again, “thanks captain obvious as if I hadn’t already piece that together myself.” He’s got sass, you liked him already. You stood up and dusted yourself down before reaching into the pocket of your jacket to pull out a blueberry flavoured lollipop you gotten from the shop earlier and presented it to James who only looked at it in confusion. “Why don’t you come walk through Derry with me James, I know it won’t be as much as fun but it’s better to be in another’s company then sulking at the side of the street don’t you think?” James’ face beams once more as he accepted your sweet, unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth before joining your side as you both ventured down the street together and becoming acquainted.

Soon after that it would become a tradition for you and James to take always through Derry together whilst chowing down on sweets as you learnt more about one another or used the time to vent and offer advice to one another especially whenever James found it difficult to withstand Michele’s constant jabs at his entire existence. “Michele does that when she’s scared that certain aspects of her life are being replaced by something foreign to her. She doesn’t hate you James she just doesn’t like change all that much especially when it’s her on the receiving end of such; Though I don’t condone her actions but just think of them as her coping mechanism because deep down even though she might not want to admit it, she cares about you James.”

James would even comfort you whenever you felt as though you were missing out on life by perfecting your own company to that of a group of friends but can’t seem to rid yourself of the envious feeling whenever you see friends laugh and joke together with the largest smiles you’ve seen on a persons face whilst you were listening to music and eating sweets like a loner. You even though that Orla and Erin were having more fun then you were or thought that you were boring and prudish because you didn’t like the things that they found interesting and vice versa. “There’s nothing wrong with being alone y/n. We’re bound to be alone at some points in life but just acknowledging the fact that you might be missing out proves to me that you believe that having friends, hanging out way past late are things your missing out on when in reality that’s further from the truth.” James exclaims as he grasps your hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze, “besides I’m here now and your not alone. We can be loners together after all two heads are better then one as the saying goes.” You chuckled lightly as you beamed at him, “yeah, that sounds like fun. Let’s be loners together.”

Now when you’ve began feeling things for him and him for you needless to say you began spending even more time together that you’d willingly leave you house way past late to join James in watching his favourite shows or movies as you sat in the blanket fort you both made together by the power of teamwork that it naturally made Orla, Erin and Michelle a little more then curious. So one day the girls would be following you on your walks when they hide behind a wall as you stopped to greet James with a hug and offering him a sweetie before linking arms and beginning to walk down the street, too emerced in one another to notice that you were being followed.

“James and y/n?! Y/n and James?!” Michelle hissed as she watched her friend and her cousin staring at one another when the other wasn’t looking like two dumbasses with puppy crushes whilst trying not to be sick at the mere thought of you two actually one day getting together. Clare thought you both were cute for one another and wanted nothing more then to see her friends be happy with one another while Erin had a sneaky suspicion that you’ve liked James for a while now but were too stubborn to admit it. Orla was indifferent because she wasn’t one to notice such things unless distinctly pointed out to her and even when she did notice she didn’t have much of an issue with the potential reality of you and James becoming an item. In fact she thought that you and James were perfect for each other.

James would be very awkward to when it comes to asking you out seeing as you were the only person to treat him with an ounce of respect and actually didn’t mind the fact that he was British and instead found him to be quite endearing and sweet on most occasions. He didn’t want to throw away your trust and friendship just because he wanted something more out of it, he valued you too much to even fathom such a thing that when you were the one to tell him that you fancied him since the day you saw the boy with the sad green eyes he was practically glowing with happiness that he didn’t know what to say so he just brought you into a tight embrace as he admired to liking you for just as long through laughter.

Most of your relationship didn’t change beside from the fact that you could now kiss each other and such but other then that you both primarily saw each other as the best friend you fell in love with and eventually got into a beautiful relationship with. Your walks through Derry were now considered dates and you’d be pressed up against James’s side as he kept an arm over your shoulder, pressing a timid kiss to your head as you pressed a kiss to his jaw causing him to stammer and smile shyly. He just loved you so much that some days he couldn’t believe he was lucky enough to have met you on his worst day.

He’s a little lost without you so whenever you had to separate for different lessons James almost refused to let go of your hand but when he was forced to the only thing he could think about for the entirety of the period was you, missing you until you were reunited at lunch or a free period where he could have you all to himself selfishly.

Needless to say Michelle would soon come to accept that you and James were going to become a longtime thing and would even warm up to it after seeing how you both made each other so incredibly happy that words couldn’t describe how brightly you’d stare at one another, whether that’d be from across the room of literally in front of each others face.

Clare Devlin:

Your next door neighbours so I’d think it’s needless to say that you spend a lot of time in your room together being cute and as adorable much to your friends chagrin. They found you both so sickeningly cute that they swore they’d get rotten teeth from how overbearingly sweet you are to one another.

Clare would consider your walks through Derry dates as it was only the two of you and the copious amount of sweets you had in your pockets that made it all the more obvious. She would try to sneak a sweet out from your pocket but you’d always manage to catch her in the act before tugging her into your arms as she squealed as you prepped kisses against her face and hair before letting her go to catch her breath as she stared at you starry eyed and all.

She holds your hand very tightly and doesn’t give a shit if they start getting clammy, Clare isn’t letting go anytime soon she’s too busy lost in her little fantasy with you and wouldn’t want it any other way. She’s very passionate and you both wanna take the relationship slow as to not rush into things nor make mistakes that you were inevitably going to regret in the long run.

I feel like Erin knew of Clare’s crush on you when now and then she’d catch her gazing at you from afar or even up close and being incredibly obvious as well that she would at least try and play matchmaker by putting you both in situations where you’d both have to interact with each other. Well it’s more or less you talking to her and her stammering her way through a sentence while her brow starts sweating up a lot.

The girls and James find it endearing watching Clare muster up the courage to ask you out while you muster up your courage to ask her out which would lead to a really cute situation where you’d both as the other out simultaneously that is responded by fits of laughter and reciprocated feelings. It’s cute, dorky and a tad awkward but it was all worth it in the end as you could be seen practically side by side, holding hands, sharing sweets and such with the biggest grins on your faces.

Clare makes you feel warm and giddy and you made her feel the same way. Your both cute together, too cute. Way too fucking cute for anyone but all that anyone cares about is that your both happy and we’re willing to put in the work to stay together for the long run of your relationship because no matter what you were friends first and significant others second.

David Donnelly:

This would be a little awkward considering that Erin had a crush on him so your relationship would be kept a secret from her for the time being until you could firmly believe that she was over David. It also didn’t help the fact that every time she saw David it would be nothing but disaster after disaster with how Erin tried to come across as cool but only to look like an absolute nonce in the process that you almost felt bad for laughing. Almost.

So really your relationship would be kept secrete for a good while and thankfully your walks through Derry go undisturbed though however if you ever did catch a glimpse of Erin or the girls (+ James) nearby you would grab David’s hand and take a detour somewhere else; only to probably get lost and navigate your way back without calling Erin for help otherwise you wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Keeping a relationship secret wasn’t easy for either of you but the time you did spend together was worth it but if you were being honest it’s the thrill of one day knowing that you’ll get caught by Erin or someone else that made things in your relationship exciting.

Though even if Erin did know about you and David, needless to say there would be tension but you wouldn’t really give it that much thought considering he was never her to begin with but you’d ultimately feel extreme guilt and would try to make it up to her even if it meant engaging in enraged shouting matches at home until someone has to separate you both. It’s not pretty but then again neither is life really. Besides all David cares about was being able to spend time with you no matter how that may come.

"The Great Gig in the Sky" is familiar to millions of music fans around the world! Many people are delighted with this composition. But... Only a few people know about Claire Torrey, the woman whose voice is behind this great classic...

When it was decided to decorate the number "The Great Gig in the Sky" with female vocals, almost everyone was inspired and excited... But the question of where to find a singer who can cope with this task (after all, we are talking about the kings of psychedelic rock with a particularly subtle vision) was still relevant. Fortunately, the album's sound engineer Alan Parsons happened to know one such performer who could do what the band wanted. And this savior turned out to be Claire Torrey, who was a little-known but extremely talented session vocalist at the time.

Torri was invited to record the track, and the band members advised her to think about dark things like death while she improvised her vocals. In just two and a half takes (Torri stopped in the middle of the third take, because she felt that she had already given everything she had), she created a powerful vocal that became the defining one for the song.

We knew what we needed not only musically. We wanted Claire to just improvise. And we asked her to think about death, about fear, about anything, and express it in singing. I remember how she came into the studio and recorded everything very quickly. And then she came out and apologized. It seemed to her that this was not what was needed. She was confused. And we said that she sang beautifully.

— Richard Wright, musician and one of the vocalists of Pink Floyd, author of "The Great Gig in the Sky".

Remarkably, Torri was kept in the dark about the project, and she didn't even know that her voice was on the album until she bought the record in a store and noticed her name in the credits. Many years later, journalists interviewed her, in which she talked about recording the song in the studio with the band

"Then I thought, "Maybe I should just pretend I'm a tool?" As a result, it worked, and Alan Parsons got a wonderful sound in my voice: an echo, but not too pronounced. I closed my eyes during the recording, and it was just all-encompassing... We got a great vocal sound, and this is the result that is always inspiring."

youtube

Torri remained in the shadows in many ways. This continued until friends convinced her to sue Pink Floyd and their record company EMI in 2004. The purpose of the lawsuit was songwriting credits and lost wages for "The Great Gig in the Sky", which was eventually settled out of court, but included her as a co-writer on future releases.

Eli Clifton at The Guardian:

Top Republican donor and TikTok investor Jeff Yass is connected to over $16m in funding to anti-Muslim and pro-Israel groups that have advocated for a US war with Iran and other militaristic policies in the Middle East, according to an investigation by the Guardian and Responsible Statecraft.

Media reports on Yass, the billionaire co-founder of Susquehanna International Group, a trading and technology firm, have focused on his outsized role in the Republican party, to which he is now the largest political donor in the 2024 election cycle, contributing more than $46m thus far. Yass has also emerged as the biggest funder of a group targeting progressive representative Summer Lee in her primary race, suggesting an interest in influencing Democratic primary outcomes, not just in boosting Republicans. But little has been reported about his involvement in funding groups advocating a pro-Israel US foreign policy, hawkish US policies in the Middle East and support for theorists whom experts described as extreme anti-Muslim conspiracists.

Leading Yass’s philanthropy in the foreign policy space is $7.9m contributed to Jerusalem Online University between 2014 and 2019 by a grant-making group at which he once served as one of three directors. A Jewish Daily Forward investigation into the group in 2011 found that the website promotes itself as a source of educational materials about the Middle East and Israel, but the website’s actual message is far more biased, the Forward found. “On its website and its promotional materials, Jerusalem Online U hardly portrays itself as a center for neutral academic inquiry,” the Forward wrote. “In fact, it boasts an explicitly pro-Israel mission that seems distinctly at odds with academic principles. In one advertisement for its services, the Jerusalem Online U site’s blog features a video of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telling Congress last May that ‘Israel is what is right’ about the Middle East. The words ‘Be a Part of What’s Right’ appear on screen as he speaks.”

The contributions came from the Claws Foundation, an entity at which Yass served as a director alongside Arthur Dantchik, a co-founder of Susquehanna, and attorney Alan P Dye. Dye did not return calls for comment. The Kids Connect Charitable Fund – which does not list Yass or Dantchik as directors but listed the Claws Foundation as a “related tax-exempt organization” in an IRS filing and was identified as an arm of both men’s philanthropy by Haaretz – contributed another $3.48m to Jerusalem Online University’s parent organization, Imagination Productions. The Claws Foundation also issued a $10,000 grant to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces in 2011 and $35,000 in grants, between 2010 and 2011, to the Center for Security Policy, an anti-Muslim and conspiracy theory-promoting group founded by Frank Gaffney, whom the Southern Policy Law Center describes as “one of America’s most notorious Islamophobes” and the Anti-Defamation League describes as a chief promulgator of the conspiracy theory “that the US government has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and that a number of political figures have actual ties to the group”. The Center for Security Policy vice-president, Clare Lopez, has said: “When Muslims follow their doctrine they become jihadists.”

In 2013 to 2014, the Claws Foundation sent $250,000 to the David Horowitz Freedom Center, another central promoter of anti-Muslim conspiracy theories. Horowitz, whom the group is named after and who serves as its president, once complained that Muslims were a “protected species in this country” and said he was “wait[ing] for the day when the good Muslims step forward” at a Brooklyn College event in 2011. “The fact Yass is donating to Gaffney and Horowitz’s organizations shows how extreme his politics are,” said Tommy Vietor, former national security council spokesperson under President Obama. “They are beyond Trump. They are OG conspiracy theorists. Gaffney in particular.”

[...] Trump has a track record of shifting positions on Israel and Iran to align with political mega-donors. Only after securing the nomination in 2016 did Trump pivot to more militaristic positions in the Middle East – committing to withdrawing the US from the JCPOA, moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and supporting an unconditionally pro-Israel US approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – positions in lockstep with his biggest political patrons in the general election, the late Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam.

Top GOP funder and billionaire Jeffrey Yass has donated over $16M into pro-Israel Apartheid and anti-Islam causes.
