If they kept a journal
{Headcannons}
Because I always want to give characters journals for some reason 😅

Tommy Conlon/Riordan
Venting. Lots and lots of venting and messy drawings (he's trying to work through trauma, leave him be)
Likes journals that are a little on the small side cause it's easier to carry with him
Writing alone in a coffee shop with his headphones on
"I'll slap you" after Brendan tried to look at what he was writing (aka nosey older sibling syndrome)
Writes after fights to calm himself
Shopping lists, schedule for the week, reminders, things he hears people say in public, his commentary on whatever he's watching/listening to, anything and everything
Self-loathing and cocky confidence all in the same paragraph
Writes backward, in circles, with his non dominant hand, or turns the book upside down to amuse himself
The quietest people have the loudest minds
Spaces out in the middle of a sentence/word, he's trying to think but his thoughts tend to get away from him and are often times uncontrollable
Fidgeting with his pen or whatever he's writing with
Tried to make it neat and tidy once, but it didn't last long
can't stand to write in the presence of people he knows, especially his family, although he knows most of his marine buddies will respect his privacy
Starts every journal with the info on his dog tags (which he refuses to take off 99% of the time)
Eddie Brock
Is a literal journalist!
Rambling in his notes, doodles when bored (same goes for Vemon), daily records, existential crises in great detail
Got Vemon their own journal on the condition that they wouldn't hijack his hand when he was trying to write
Journals via symbiote, Vemon's memory is far better than his "remind me to write that down later,"
Vemon is a literal five-year old with their journal, "Eddie look!"
Sometimes, their minds blend together enough that they write the same thing in unison with each other
It doesn't matter which journal is whose, they're both just as chaotic as the other!
Vemon has chocolate wrappers plastered over most of the pages, and a list of what they call "Eddie things" (it's a list of stuff Eddie likes)
Vemon occasionally calls journals "decorating books"
Vemon definitely loves "wreck this journal"
Happy host (usually!) Means Happy Symbiote
Alfie Solomons
The rambling of a madman, that's what Tommy Shelby called it anyway. Alfie prefers "Fuckin' work of art" but to each his own
It's basically a more personal business ledger. Lists of allies, potential businesses and business partners, people he wants to get rid of. Meeting schedules (courtesy of Ollie), talking points for said meetings, and God only knows what else he comes up with
The only person beside Alfie himself to see the inside of that book is Ollie, under Alfie's supervision of course
Keeps it in a lockbox with a gun
"You want to see the book? What the fuck are you on about mate?!"
Mostly writes in larger print instead of cursive because his eyes ain't what they used to be, and looking at cursive gives him an eye strain headache
Definitely had rum spilled on it multiple times
Won't deny (at least not to Ollie) that he's thought about putting it in front of someone's head and shooting it
"Sometimes I think I should've shot you the first time I came here" a note written in the book by Tommy Shelby, who, in his defense, was left unsupervised
Writing for a moment, standing up to pace around the room, sits back down, repeat
Messy drawings of Cyril
Farrier (and Collins!)
Farrier just simply enjoys writing, it's peaceful
Collins often steals the book, flips to a random blank page, and writes little notes/inside jokes for his friend to find later
Pressed flowers, fountain pens, and cigarette smoke
Often writes on his smoke breaks
A growth chart for all the garden plants and a map of what's planted where
Ends his entries with mood indicators, ie (: or ):
Tallies up dogfights between him and Collins to see who gets playful teasing/bragging rights
Started keeping a journal when he first joined RAF, after a chat with an older pilot who told him stories that he said he wrote down "so the good memories would last longer"
Likes to write in his cockpit, it's one of the places he's most comfortable
"There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there aren't any old bold pilots, mate!"
Cloud/brid watching and writing about what he sees
Collins likes to chat with Farrier as he writes, Farrier enjoys the company
They have definitely had conversations by writing notes and passing the book to each other
Detailed sketches of planes, especially spitfires!
Wondering through the woods and forests and documenting his adventure and exploration
Writes about how he'd like a pet but doesn't think he could stand to be away from it so much
Forrest Bondurant
Fountain pens and scuffed leather bound blank pages drowned in the sent of cigar smoke
Has definitely smacked Howard over the head with it
Poems, philosophy, metaphors, drawings and detailed descriptions of plants and what they can be used for, the different moonshine recipes the brothers use, short stories, bank balance cause he couldn't be bothered to find his legder
Craves his initials into the cover with his pocket knife
Howard calls his journals "a wealth of knowledge"
No matter how tempting, neither Jack nor Howard dare to trifle with their brother's journal
Morning stream of consciousness pages as he drinks his coffee
Sitting at his desk late at night, can't sleep, journaling in his office with a cigar between his lips
Documents the odd (lucid) dreams that he has on occasion, attempting to figure out what they are
Depictions of three wolves, each wolf representing one of the three brothers. Wolves are fiercely protective of their family, just like the brothers

First Lines Meme
I am very grateful to be tagged by @swimmingfoxsticks and @bobparkhurst both of whose fanfics I’ve greatly enjoyed!
Rules: post the first lines of your 10 most recent fanfics.
1. By request of the grass (SAS Rogue Heroes, Paddy/Eoin)
Paddy holds, in a vised grip, Eoin’s striped jersey, cloud white and sea blue, now all grey brown.
2. Desert swimmers and upside-down sinners (SAS Rogue Heroes, Paddy/Eoin)
‘Stirling’s got a place in Cairo,’ says Eoin, driving carefully over a soft patch of sand that looks like the rest that is not soft.
3. To the burned mountain over Sicily (SAS Rogue Heroes, Reg/Johnny)
The town of Augusta was alive with the din of post-battle procedures.
4. Sunder and Surrender (Band of Brothers, Ron Speirs/Eugene Roe)
There was an ancient authority to the mountains of Austria that only poems could reflect.
5. Gathering Storms (Dunkirk, Collins/Peter Dawson, HP!au)
“It’s for the greater good.”
“Whose greater good? Certainly not any of us.”
“Mine!”
6. Oasis Reverie (Dunkirk, Collins & Farrier)
Somewhere above the Western Desert, Collins chases Farrier’s Spitfire.
7. Desolate and Solace (Dunkirk, Collins/Farrier)
The sand is so grey, it doesn’t resemble sand. Ash—the old world burned layers back to expose rotten flesh upon which the kingdom come’s foundations are built.
8. When the sun dismisses the fog (of war) (Dunkirk, Collins/Farrier)
"Frequency check, Fortis Two. What’s the plan after this mission?"
“We’ll grab a pint when we get back. I’ll even watch the sunset with you,” Farrier promised.
9. Letters for a golden home (Dunkirk, Collins/Peter Dawson)
It takes Collins a few more months after the end of the war to leave the airbase and go home—home, for him, is the endless stretches of the sky, the gasoline slick belly of a Spitfire [...]
10. 'Cause there's a blue sky waiting for us tomorrow (Dunkirk, Collins/Farrier)
Collins and Farrier had a ritual before every mission—their own lucky charm, they called it, a tradition of sorts for only the two of them.
