Girl Dad!Rhysand x Reader Headcanons

This male could pound me to town and I would say thank you.

A/N: Anyway, this Highkey sucks so I am so sorry. I feel like I have to ease back into writing, it has been so long since I have sat down and actually written something. It is all over the place and just not the best writing so I apologize for that. I just… my surgery rotation literally killed me. You can ask @augustinerose I was not in a good headspace. I feel like I am still recovering from that and idk… it just… I feel like it stole some part of me. I dunno, its hard to explain but it took out all the motivation I had towards writing. So easing back into things is gonna have to be the way to go. Again, I am so sorry, this is literally awful. I am gonna try to do some NSFW headcanons for girl dad!Rhys tomorrow if y’all would like. As always, a comment or reblog is much much appreciated. It always gives me the motivation and hope to continue writing.

Girl dad Rhysand is too good y’all I cannot.

Rhysand is one of the best girl dads out there.

He makes sure his baby girl and wife are taken care of to the fullest extent.

I am talking he wakes up in the middle of the night to take care of the babe, swaying her and humming Illyrian rhymes to her to calm her. He takes her out for flying, making sure to wrap her sensitive tiny wings in wool so that they can remain warm against the night court breeze whenever she is inconsolable, usually returning with her fast asleep, sucking on her tiny thumb with little grunts every so often.

The first month of the babe being home, he would sneak out of your bed just to lay down next to the crib so he could make sure that your darling babe was settled and comfortable.

He is a mother hen, glaring at Cassian for making too much noise when the babe is resting in his arms.

He likes to show her the constellations in the sky, pointing out each of the different stars and even using his powers to create mini galaxies above the crib. For her 5th birthday, he gifts her an actual star out of the sky, following the nickname, “my shining star.”

He adores her so much, there is nothing he wouldn’t do for her. She has him wrapped around her tiny fingers since the moment she grabbed onto his finger with her tiny fist. He loves reading stories to her, making sure that the nursery is filled with old children tales that are centuries old, first edition novels really, along with all of the new writings from the authors around each court. One sure fire way of calming down your babe whenever she is fussy is Rhys pulling out a book and resting back in the rocking chair with her in his arms, and reading to her the stories. He does all the different voices for different characters and even makes funny faces for your little girl to keep her entertained, and is the reason why your babe grows up to be an avid reader.

Rhysand always has the best clothes made for her. She is the best dressed babe in all of the courts, and grows up to be a fashion icon. Most of the clothes she wears are from Rhys’ mother who sewed them centuries before, just like she had for you.

He is the one to teach her how to fly, spending hours and hours, weeks and weeks away from his duties to spend some time with his favorite girl (besides you ofc) to teach her different skills. He teaches her self defense and different battle strategies, preparing her to become High Lady one day. He is patient and calm throughout the entire process, even when she throws tantrums or feels like giving up. He always knows exactly what to say, he knows exactly how to handle the situation by either giving her space or pushing her to keep going.

Your daughter loves to draw, and will often end up drawing on Rhysand’s arms and legs with a pink marker. He thinks it is the best artwork he has ever seen, and has gone as far as getting a drawing of a family of stars that she drew tattooed into left wrist.

At parties, he always makes sure to dance with her first. At first, he has her in his arms, twirling them both around while her little giggles and squeals resound against the music. Eventually, he has her standing on his shoes so he can guide the both of them, letting her grow with independence. Eventually, she learns the dance moves herself, and still to this day, they will be each others first dance.

Don’t even get me started on how girl dad Rhys takes care of you!!!!!

Literally the best husband and mate I am WEAK

This male screams self care. He wants to make sure that you are rested 24/7. No mate of his is going to be feeling exhausted. He has days where he schedules full body massages, facials, hair care treatments, manicures and pedicures. He has Morr meet you after so you can go browsing for new dresses, shoes, purses, jewelry. Whatever you wish for, it is already yours. You only need to stare for a second, and Morr is going inside to buy it, “Rhys told me to honey, you can talk to him, but honestly you deserve it” anytime you complain that she is spending too much on you.

When you come home, he has Az and Cass watching the babe for the night so he can take you out to dinner, or even just for an evening in. You cuddle up with the babe for a little while before he whisks you away into whatever extravagant things he has planned for you.

He loves having you in his lap during these free nights, one arm wrapped around your waist or hips while the other feeds you or plays with your hair, muttering to himself about how stunning you are, how lucky he is to have you, how much he adores you really.

I like to think you face each other in bed while he intertwines your legs and pulls you close into his chest, and you just get to talk about anything and everything. Any of his worries about the relations between other courts, any of his concerns regarding the night court, his desires to wanting to better the world for your daughter, he always feels like he can spill whatever he has on his mind to you in a way that he has never been able to before.

After your daughter is born, he often spends time telling her all of the things he thinks about while she lays on her belly and allows for her wings to flutter to build muscle strength.

Remember how I talked about your daughter being Rhys’ first dance? Well, you are his partner for every other dance, and always the last dance. Your poor babe is passed out in one of the chairs with Amren watching over her like a hawk, her hand patting the babes back (she has a soft spot for her, what can I say?) and you both dance and dance. Sometimes, he flys you up into the sky and dances with you among the stars, “they lie in witness to our love darling”

Again, this was terrible so thank you for sticking around if you actually read through this!

NIGHT OF GOLD

Pairings: Cody Rhodes x Fem! Reader

Warnings: None-Just short and filled with fluff.

Summary: When promoting your woman's tag team championships with your tag partner at your company's annual fancy dress party, your boyfriend Cody Rhodes ends up having some fun with the gold you had won.

Border credit goes to: V6que

Apologies if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes in this.

Comment if you want to be tagged in (or removed from) my taglist ♡

In the company in which you and your loving,caring, and devastatingly handsome boyfriend, otherwise known as Cody Rhodes, wrestle for, more often, are invited to attend press and promotional parties.

Cody and you attended one for the first time as an official couple,and both of you found it to be quite enjoyable. Being in the company of your wrestler friends and each other.

From that day forward, both of you always look forward to the future and upcoming events, always hoping to try and make it to as many as possible.

Tonight was your lucky night.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, you and your best friend, f/n, had a women's tag team championship match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, where you and your best friend had successfully won the tag titles for the first time, especially in your career.

That was a moment you knew that you'd never ever forget.

WWE had invited you and your tag team partner to the event to show off that you both are the rightful champions in the women's division and to promote the championships to the world.

It filled you up with excitement, knowing that the attention would be on you, and the focus on the woman's tag championships, as you always thought the woman's division in general was just as important as the men's division.

If Cody, your boyfriend, wasn't a wrestler, or if he wasn't involved with the event too, you knew you'd still find a way to sneak him in and have him be there with you, but since he's also on a roll in his career too, there wouldn't be any reason for him to not make an appearance too.

Later in the day, Cody and you got ready to head out for the night. You were dressed in your new favorite gold sequin mini dress that hugged each and every one of your features perfectly, along with a pair of gold boots and gold delicate lace gloves that matched your dress beautifully.

As you had finished adding the finishing touches to your outfit in the bathroom, leaning against the wall near the bathroom, there stood Cody. He was rocking his iconic light green suit and jacket, paired with a stripped white tie.

The second his eyes landed on you is when he smirked playfully at you; "You look lovely, darlin." Cody softly whispered with a wink in your direction.

You blushed as red as a tomato. You thanked Cody as you reached up on your tip toes, planting a kiss on his nose. "Thank you so much, babe! You look ever so dashing and handsome if I do say so myself." You giggled softly as Cody smiled down at you before wrapping an arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him.

"Thank you as well, gorgeous. I think it's safe to say that you're the more dashing one here, and I mean it, baby!." Cody whispered flirtatiously in your ear before softly planting his lips a top of yours.

You kissed Cody back with just as much softness and love as he did. Moments like this that were filled with such bliss were what you always enjoyed and filled your heart with so much love and happiness.

When you both pulled away, you found yourself almost getting lost while looking into Cody's beautiful ocean eyes as he looked deeply into yours, too. "It's show time, my love. Are you ready?"

You asked softly, gently booping Cody's nose,causing him to chuckle and nod his head. "For you? Always. Let's get this show started, beautiful."

The both of you made your way out of the bathroom and towards the front door. Cody had grabbed another coat as it was wintertime where you both were. Glancing up at you, Cody stopped in his tracks and called over to you; "Hey gorgeous, I know you love your outfit and want to show it off, it's cold out, don't forget your coat."

You smiled when Cody politely handed you your coat, but then insisted to help you put it on. "You're the best. Thank you, my love." You thanked Cody once more. Cody leaned towards you and gently pecked your lips, "Always and anything for you, darlin."

Before you knew it, showtime was soon underway, and it sent excitement through you.

When Cody and you had arrived right away, the atmosphere was buzzing. The both of you were greeted by your other wrestler friends, exchanging hugs and high fives with one another.

Moments later, you, alongside Cody, had met back up with your best friend who just so happened to be the other tag team champion next to you; "Hey champ! There you are! You look stunning, bestie!" You squealed as you hugged f/n.

F/n smiled brightly and hugged you back; "Thank you! You look gorgeous too, bestie!" The two of you and Cody chatted with one another until it was time for your and F/n's interview.

"It's time, F/n! Are you ready?" You asked quickly, bright smile and all. Your best friend nodded and smiled brightly back at you; "We were both born ready for this! We got this, bestie!"

Glancing up at Cody, you quickly let him know where you were going; "It's press time, my love! I'll meet up with you when it's finished if that's alright?"

Cody smiled and nodded, "Absolutely! You both got this, darlin! I'll be right over there with Sami and Kevin." He replied with a wink, causing you to blush.

Your smile grew bigger as you nodded your head again. F/n and you linked arms and headed over to where the interview would take place. This moment of getting to be with your best friend and talking about your victory on camera excited you to your core.

The interview that both you and your best friend had finished and it was great success. You and F/n were very happy with how it went.

F/n and you had met back up with Cody and told him how it went; "Hi my love! We're back, and it went really well!."

Cody smiled brightly and wrapped his arm around your upper back as he placed a kiss on your cheek; "Hey gorgeous! I'm so happy to hear that. I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you, handsome! You're so sweet." Smiling again, you said as you wrapped your arm around his waist gently.

"Hey y/n, I think there's a snack table over there..." Your best friend stated as she pointed straight ahead. You looked up and in the direction of where she pointed to and smiled.

"Would you like to come with me to get some over there?" F/n asked curiously. You nodded, "Yes, that sounds like fun!"

You then turned your attention to your boyfriend, gently tapping his shoulder; "I'll be right back, babe. There's a snack table that f/n wants to check out. I'll bring us back something if you want."

Cody quickly nodded his head as the bright blue sparkle twinkled in his eyes, along with his beautiful pearly smile appearing, causing you to burn happy butterflies in your stomach; "That's okay, darlin, and you're the cutest."

"And you're the best! Anything for you. Also, would you please hold onto my title for me, love?" You asked him softly. The soft but beautiful smile reappeared on his face once more as he nodded softly; "Of course, beautiful."

You giggled softly while planting a kiss on his cheek; "Wonderful! I'll be right back, my love."

You then followed F/n to the snack table and got snacks for yourself and for Cody, too. On your way back, when you returned, that was where your eyes landed on Cody, holding your title perfectly perched up around his arm/shoulder.

You giggled softly to yourself as you saw him posing for selfies of himself and a few with your friends such as Sami and Kevin, with your freshly won championship gold. You thought it was such a cute sight to see.

As you continued to walk over to Cody, you saw him about to take another selfie. He brought the phone down when his eyes met up with yours as he smiled brightly again and motioned over to you; "Hey gorgeous, want to take a selfie with my newly won title?" He asked as he chuckled.

"Your title, cutie? Since when did you turn into F/n? Haha, I'm just teasing, we can absolutely take a selfie." You giggled as you gently booped his cheek and stood comfortably next to Cody as he cheered cutely, causing you to smile and giggle softly. You then posed for the selfie with the love of your life.

-The end ♡

Christmas colby request!! Maybe where you host a Christmas dinner party with some friends and when they leave you cuddle by the tree and watch movies?? Could be an imagine or a blurb whatever you prefer 😍

Home Alone

The loud voices of our friends can be heard from the other side of the house. I giggle while taking the presents from my wardrobe, handing a few bags to Colby.

"I can't understand how all these bags fit in there. You have clothes for two people", he laughs and i push him playfully, aware that he doesn't have empty hands to return the action.

"It took some time, but i managed", i exhale when i get out of the wardrobe, exhausted by moving clothes around to get the bags out.

We get downstairs and surprise our friends with the presents. They all cheer, but also remain shocked, because we agreed to only make Secret Santa and no other additional gifts.

"But whyyy? We haven't gotten you anything else", Kat comes and hugs me from the side. I hug her back, only holding 2 bags in my hand.

"You two are wonderful, but my arms are killing me", Colby's voice is heard from behind us and we're quick to separate, laughing. "We thought we would make this Christmas a little bit more meaningful and add some of our own gifts for you, since this is mine and y/n's first Christmas together.", Colby smiles and i give him a quick peck on the cheek before sharing the bags to each of its owners.

"There's no way! I think I've been looking at this jacket for months! They were always sold out", Sam exclaims while checking the jacket out and trying it on. "You are insane, thank you!", he hugs us and Colby and i look satisfied at one another.

.

.

The party comes to an end, Sam and Kat giving us a helping hand when the other guests left. I wash the last two plates in the sink and dry my hands on a towel. Colby's arms wrap around my waist, pulling me at his chest. His head lowers and kisses my temple and then rests it on my shoulder.

"We're finally alone. It's so quiet now", we chuckle and we rock our bodies slowly on the spot, left and right, even tho there's no music playing in the background. It's just how we act when we're relaxed.

"It was really nice tonight.", i smile and turn my head to look at him. He nods and we lean in to kiss each other, the softness of his lips making my whole body warm. "Let's watch something. And i already know what", i smirk and pull him by the hands, towards the living room. We sit down on the extended couch, both of us already wearing our matching Christmas pj set. I turn on the tv and play Home Alone, being the absolute best Christmas movie, at least in my opinion, because Colby always brags about it. He rolls his eyes at me and laughs, wrapping his arms around me and getting closer to me. We put the blanket on us and i giggle when the intro of the movie finishes and i see the iconic opening scene.

I start caressing Colby's arm, giving it a few kisses and bites from time to time. He kisses the top of my head and plays with my hair, tickling me every time i bite him too hard.

"oh, c'mon! You cannot be such a bad parent and forget one of your kids at home!", he brags and i throw another popcorn flower in my mouth

"My families have so many kids i wonder how this never happened to them", i say really meaning that and Colby laughs

"We won't make that many, then", i turn my head to face him and i see his face all red and eye wide. "I mean what?"

"Colby?", i manage to say, my smile growing big. "You see, uhm, such a long future with me?", i turn my whole body so i could face him properly. His arm rests on my hips while the other one holds his head.

"Yes. I have all the reasons in the world to do that. You're amazing, i spend the most important holiday with literally the love of my life. This is perfect. You made Christmas perfect and i couldn't have asked for more.", he rubs his nose against mine and i cup his cheeks, bringing him closer to me to kiss him. Colby brings my body closer and i wrap my arms around his neck, hugging him.

"You made Christmas feel like a holiday again. And i love you so much", my face is hidden in the crook of his neck and i place a quick kiss on there.

"Oh my God, y/n", he hugs me even tighter, his smile hurting his cheeks. "I love you so much"

"Has this toothbrush been approved by the American Dental Association?", we both laugh hearing Kevin on the tv and i turn around to watch the movie.

"Merry Christmas, baby" he whispers

"Merry Christmas, Colbs", i whisper back, holding him by the arm he has around me.

what i think Party Poisons top 5 Britney songs are (and explained)

For backround: they saw Britney on the the tv, knowing that they are a teen/young adult in 2019 and how Britney was mostly in the news around 2017-2010 he was probably around 4-6? They would see her on the news all the time and think she was absolutely iconic. History was made that day.

1. I Love Rock N Roll (cover)

okay, here me out, i can see Poison very much into the punk scene, I can also see them possibly being made fun of for the fact of loving Brit (for the time anyway) and so they choose this one to seem more “chill” about it.

2. Soda Pop

i can see them loving this song for some reason, maybe its the summer vibes of the song. I always like to think that Poisons favorite season is summer, so this song just helps me with that theory

3. Hot As Ice

This song is from Blackout, their favorite album, and so obviously they love all the songs from it but this one just hits different for some reason. I dont really have a good explanation the sing just gives me huge Poison vibes

4. The Beat Goes On

The song in general is just very Danger Days, if you told me that Gerard Way wrote The Beat Goes On in 2010 i would have believed you. It almost reminds me of that same brand of ‘the world sucks but we got music, bitchhh’ or maybe thats just me, idk. I think this is one of the first songs Poison would have listened to though. Knowing the order in which they forced their parents to buy all the main Brit cds. (I’ll do that at the end)

5. Heaven On Earth

Again, a Brit song from Blackout, he knows the kind of Brit songs he loves what can ya do (can you tell i dont know how to explain this one?)

Close seconds

1. (You Drive Me) Crazy

2. Brave New Girl

3. Everytime

The order of Cds they got (excluding Femme Fatale and the ones after)

1. Baby One More Time

2. Blackout

3. Britney

4. In the Zone

5. Oops!… I did it again.

Imagine accidentally blurting out to Dwayne Johnson that you’re attracted to his black wrestling gear look.

The small party wasn’t acting like a small party - the main cast, including you, of the film that you had just shot, had gotten together inside of this little dive bar, bringing life into the place. There was music, there was some people dancing, there were conversations, drinks to be had, some mediocre food like nachos and fries but after a few beers, everything was tasting good.

What you were doing during the festivities was sitting at a table with your co-workers Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Aldis Hodge, discussing the former’s career as a wrestler before he turned into an actor. “It was real fun,” Dwayne said with a laugh. “I liked seeing the different cities. The actual traveling though, that was a downside.”

You were enthralled by every story that he told about being on the road, being in the ring. Dwayne was an amazing story teller - and the way that his muscles flexed when he’d act something out. You couldn’t look away for a second.

“I always liked watching the dramatics,” You said, picking at one of Aldis’s fries. He tried to swat you away but you were too quick, celebrating your win by eating it down. “The entrances. The outfits.” You giggled, the words coming out of your mouth.Blame the shots. “I was always attracted to the little black shorts and the boots look.”

Aldis barked in laughter beside you while Dwayne pulled out his infamous eyebrow raise. The same one that made shivers go up your spine while at the same time feeling warm and fuzzy inside. You weren’t acknowledging what you said just yet. You hadn’t realized you said it. Not until he questioned it. “You always were, huh?”

That warmth turned to an uncomfortable heat real fast.

“I mean it’s uhh - it’s iconic. It’s great, right Aldis?”

“I’m not Hawkman right now, I’m not swooping in to save you.”

You were forced to face Dwayne all on your own, but that eyebrow went down and he couldn’t hold in the laugh. “I appreciate that, thanks y/n. You should come try on the boots sometime, I still have them.”

“Wait really? I can do that?”

“Yeah, anything for someone who has ... always been attracted to them.”

JUNO! THE ALBUM — q. hughes x singer!oc

a look into juno blackwood’s debut album

masterlist

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

cover/back cover:

prelude:

“How beautiful the earth is still, To thee —how full of happiness! How little fraught with real ill, Or unreal phantoms of distress! How spring can bring thee glory, yet, And summer win thee to forget December’s sullen time! Why dost thou hold the treasure fast, Of youth’s delight, when youth is past, And thou art near thy prime?”

— the first stanza of Anticipation by Emily Brontë, sung by Juno, accompanied by Julian Rowe on piano.

tracklist:

king

sinner

when I die

born to die

because the night

young and beautiful

type of guy

kiss with a fist

sunday

look at us now ft. Julian Rowe

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

about the album!

This album was produced in the summer of 2021, however it is a collection of Juno’s writing from dating back to when she was 16 to the age of 20.

It was produced by Julian Rowe, who cowrote and sung on the track “Look at Us Now”. Julian Rowe, pictured below, is a five-time Emmy winning producer and singer. Known for his work with notable artists such as Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. He has grown into a close friend of Juno Blackwood and the two are thick as thieves when it comes to the music industry.

The album’s cover photo was taken by Juno when she dropped her phone, which was set to take a timed photograph of her and her cat. The back cover was taken by Julian Rowe during one of the album’s late night mixing session.

Over 132 songs were narrowed down into the 10 released, and Juno Blackwood has stated: “it’s not their (the other songs) time yet, I can feel it.”

The album demolished the charts upon its release on September 23rd, 2021, with Rolling Stones Magazine even naming it number 87 in the best debut albums of all time.

Juno has claimed that the album is an eclectic collection of sounds and “has something that anyone could enjoy.” It is a pop album with country and rock twists, drawing inspiration from bands such as Fleetwood Mac and singers such as Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith.

“I like to think of my songs as aspects of my soul,” Juno said, in an article with Rolling Stones Magazine. “Every musical thought I have has been a result of the iconic music of the past. I want my music to reflect the respect and passion I have towards the history and impact of these artists…and I feel like this album encapsulates that level of admiration I hold for them.”

The album stood in the top five of the charts for ten weeks, with the singles “Young and Beautiful” and “Look at us Now”, alternating number one on the charts for eight weeks.

“It’s great to hear music like this again,” Stevie Nicks remarked for Times Magazine, when asked if she’d heard and liked Blackwood’s album. “It has that deep, soulful and transcendent sound that often gets lost in the modern music culture.”

Juno! by Juno Blackwood was well-received all around the world and led to her EU/US & Canada tour.

My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne

Didn't add nearly enough Avril "I never said I was punk" Lavigne.

Steph coded albums?

Stephanie Brown was most definitely a pop-punk girlie at heart. I feel like she'd SO identify with how Avril Lavigne described herself: "I think that I'm just a rock chick. I like to rock out. I like to throw shit around. I like to go nuts. I like to lose myself on stage. I like to scream, I like to holler, I like to yell. And...I like to get my anger out."

Evidence:

Post-Crisis ended in 2011 and Steph was 19-20, so she was born in 1991 and must have listened to a lot of 2000s and late 90s stuff.

She loves wearing flannels, boyish jackets, beanies, and tucked in shirts.

She gives hella bisexual vibes.

In high school, she partied in old factories, subway tunnels and rooftops with "her crowd" (her words). Her friend Bailey seemed to be into punk rock.

But she doesn't have much of a campus life at university which has more fratty, middle class people; less were "her crowd" (she was struggling with uni expenses).

Women-led pop-punk and rock seems to explore a lot of themes that would mean something to Steph.

She was a working class latchkey kid and times were tough on her growing up.

She grew up fast; she had to care for her mother and she had a child at 16 whom she gave up for adoption.

A LOT of men around her have made her life a living hell. Her dad sucks. Her exes suck.

Don't forget, she's a talented pianist too.

And the important piece of evidence, she was into sk8er boi Tim Drake.

HI ARI SWEETHEART!!! FIRST THINGS FIRST THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY I GIGGLED I BLUSHED IT'S SO NICE TO SEE U HERE

second of all i listened to the songs and wow.... u just get it; are you bored yet - FUCK okay it would be perfect for a little bittersweet story hmmmmmmmmm thinking thinking... i really love this though i think this fits him so well; there's still a light in the house - especially the lyrics you pointed out... damn...... i think "pointless" phone calls with him would be so frequent (idk maybe it's just me but i do looove calling!! i love hearing the other person's voice and laughter)

i also saw your post about the boys and chase atlantic ARI! YOU NEED TO BE STOPPED! i haven't listened to them in a minute and you absolutely just awakened something in me..........

+ i literally put both of our songs together into a playlist hehehe it's our baby

OKAY.... i had been thinking about his songs just the other day we really are connected; some of these might be a bit questionable lmao but just hear. me. out. please.

can't take my eyes off you by frankie valli - omfg he'd so be the type to very veeeeery dramatically serenade you............ all the time...... like c'mon the iconic heath ledger running on the stair while singing this in 10 things i hate about you....................................... he's literally him

girlfriend by hemlocke springs - i feel like he'd really like pop songs, stuff that's fun to sing along to ESPECIALLY with your lover; tell me you can't imagine him screaming his lungs out while singing this - he's not changing the lyrics either he's proudly yelling about being your girlfriend<333

romantic lover by eyedress - he's a simp he's so cute he'd definitely send u songs like this every once in a while (most of the time he'd send u stupid shit i fear..................)

my love by justin timberlake - this is just based on vibes

see you again by tyler, the creator & kali uchis - singing this with him mhmmm and then cringing just a little (with hearts in your eyes smh your body is betraying you) when he starts rapping lmao

my love mine all mine by mitski - "my baby, here on earth; showed me what my heart was worth" i think satoru our beloved feels like he loves with all his heart but thinks that noone will really love him back the same way or as much and you'd have to really show what his heart is worth - that he's lovable and that he deserves to be happy and he deserves to always have that person there for him, to love him unconditionally

hot in here by nelly - hot boy song no need to explain

hot n cold by katy perry - don't ask it makes sense in my head....

on a very small side note - if satoru was my girlfriend i think "sexy and i know it" would actually be our song; we'd have fake fuckboy competitions - who can act more like an absolute dipshit and then the winner gets to kiss the loser stupid heheh

"Rock 'n' Roll Remix: Brandon Flowers's Weenie Roast 2004 Look Gets a Modern Makeover!

Hey, Victims! Get ready to party like it's 2003-2005 because The Killers are in Vegas and better than ever! With their recently announced Vegas residency celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Hot Fuss, we've got some iconic shows to attend. But wait, what's a killer concert without some killer outfits, right? It's time to dust off those Hot Fuss-era-inspired looks and show the world what true rock 'n' roll fashion is all about! Let's dive into the wardrobe of yesteryear and bring the heat to these epic shows!

Picture this: Brandon Flowers, frontman extraordinaire of The Killers, strutting onto the stage at Weenie Roast like he owns the place (spoiler alert: he does). What's he wearing?

Business casual.

So naturally, we will also roll up in our best business casual.

Let's start with the pants. Brandon is rocking a pair of pinstripe slacks as if it were another day in the office. Let's aim for a modern straight-leg pinstripe pant with an elastic waistband for comfort and ease of movement during the concert.

https://amzn.to/3UgcCG8

These pants offer a contemporary twist on the classic pinstripe style, allowing you to rock out all night without sacrificing style.

Brandon paired his slacks with a pair of black canvas sneakers boasting a gum rubber sole; it's a daring mix of sophistication and street style that we can try to replicate with this pair of canvas sneakers from Amazon.

https://amzn.to/48QXFP4

But let's break it down further. On top, Flowers is sporting a crisp button-down shirt, maybe in classic white (or is it pale pink? My eyes can't tell), adding a touch of understated elegance to the look. Tying it all together is a skinny black tie, lending a dash of rock 'n' roll attitude to his indie-inspired ensemble.

Let's embrace the oversized trend with a roomy button-down shirt that can be worn open and untucked for a relaxed yet stylish look with a classic white shirt. (Or make it pink if your eyes can see better than mine.) Just make sure it's roomy enough to channel that indie coolness.

https://amzn.to/47Uf346

Remember to layer something underneath.

https://amzn.to/47TgRL1

Indie Brandon is missing one defining detail that the frontman has become iconically known for, and that is sparkle. Just for the heck of it, we'll turn the skinny tie into a rhinestone tie necklace!

https://amzn.to/48PVWtx

And what's that on his wrist? A bright red, square-face, Swatch Watch, injecting a pop of color and playful charm into the outfit. It's the perfect finishing touch, showcasing Flowers's knack for combining unexpected elements to create a look as captivating as his stage presence.

Now let's see. We could recreate this by simply wearing a similar Swatch Watch.

https://shorturl.at/buAM6

Or we can choose to be frugal and find ourselves a cheaper alternative.

https://amzn.to/499nslh

You could even take it a step further if you already have an Apple watch - which conveniently is already square - by getting yourself a red watchband and putting your own Swatch Watch wallpaper!

https://amzn.to/3HC1pba

But let's not forget about makeup and accessories! To complete the look and pay homage to The Killers' Hot Fuss album, here are some suggestions:

Line your eyes with bold black eyeliner to add intensity and drama to your look, just like Flowers's stage presence.

https://amzn.to/3uctZgn

Coat your lashes with black mascara for added volume and definition, making your eyes pop against the backdrop of your indie-inspired ensemble.

https://amzn.to/3vRT3db

Paint your nails with sleek black nail polish to complement the edgy vibe of your outfit, adding a chic finishing touch to your overall look.

https://amzn.to/47QGgF1

Swipe on a sheer (or not so sheer) blue lip gloss to match the color scheme of The Killers' Hot Fuss album, adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to your makeup look.

https://amzn.to/3UdltIr

If the rhinestone tie wasn't enough, add some more sparkle and shine with rhinestone dangle earrings to match. These earrings will catch the light and elevate your ensemble with a touch of glamour and sophistication.

https://amzn.to/47ZM4ME

With these key pieces, you'll be ready to rock your own indie-inspired business casual ensemble and pay homage to Brandon Flowers's iconic style. So, grab your outfit, cue up your favorite Killers' tracks, and get ready to show the world what actual fashion Victims look like!

The Witching Hour (Eddie Munson x Gen!Reader)

Pt.1 

AN: this is my first fanfic. it’ll be kinda slow at first, sorry about that!

Disclaimers/Warnings: Swearing? Steve Harrington serving looks in a wedding dress? Pre-S4 events?

Summary: A confrontation on Halloween night circa 1985 makes you finally acknowledge what it is about Eddie Munson that keeps you so enamored. Maybe it’s the disguise of your costume or the spiked punch that makes you brave, but neither of you are saying goodbye for the night without some sort of heated exchange. 

“I feel ridiculous. Do I look ridiculous?” Steve fidgeted in front of the floor-length mirror fastened to the back of your bedroom door, doing an awkward 360-turn to check all of his angles. The height of the mirror hadn’t been originally hung with the male’s towering height in mind, so Steve was contorting his body to make sure he saw both his done-up hair and his accentuated ass. “Won’t people think it’s weird I’m wearing a wedding dress? I mean, who’s really going to recognize me as Marion? At least you have the hat and the whip.”

The pair of you had decided to go to some big Halloween party in Hawkins, or at least Steve had begged and you had begrudgingly agreed with the understanding that you got to choose the costumes with absolutely no objections. Hence, the white wedding dress with puffy sleeves that matched Marion’s iconic Lost Ark outfit that Steve was surprisingly pulling off. 

“You’d look better if you stopped worrying too much. Really, you look great and you’ll be recognizable as long as we stick together. No running off this time Harrington, I mean it.” You gave him a final glance over, making sure nothing else needed to be teased or altered. Upon deciding that he was perfect, you nudged him with your hip and took his spot in front of your mirror. Your own costume was nearly just as perfect, except for the absence of your hat and whip. Both were staple accessories of Indiana Jones, but not ones you were going to adorn until you got to the party. 

“When is Robin coming to get her costume?” Your eyes focused on the discarded costume that was visible in the mirror’s reflection, waiting to be fitted and altered  just like Steve’s had before he came over. To complete the group’s look, you had come up with the idea of making Robin the big tumbling rock from the beginning scene of the 1981 film. Robin didn’t have any objects to the idea, especially since none of her band friends would be there to witness any foreseeable embarrassment and she was just accompanying you both to drink. 

“Oh-uh..” Steve, still focusing on his appearance in the sliver of mirror space he had left, gave a half-hearted reply to your inquiry. “We’re picking her up. She’s still at school or something for band.”

You should have known, especially since Robin had talked your ear off at lunch about Vickie. Maybe you would’ve remembered that obvious fact if you also hadn’t spent a chunk of lunch watching one of Eddie Munson’s animated spiels around the lunchroom. The walking on tables and exaggerated movements never ceased to capture your attention, and that day was no different. Robin would have been better off talking to a wall while you ate up the sight of the school’s freak with the rest of Hellfire club.

It’s not like you were into the super-senior, you just gave into the spectacle that he spent his days at the school performing. His actions always garnered the attention of others, and you didn’t put up much of an effort to ignore him. Eddie Munson was just someone that you liked to watch, secretly or obviously. Unbeknownst to you, however, Eddie knew of your observation and relished in the attention of your dazzling eyes. 

“Let’s go get our boulder then, shall we?”

--

"Ow! You pricked me, Y/N!” Robin yelped and jumped away from you as you both stood in the parking lot of Hawkins High. Since Robin hadn’t made it to your house for alterations, you brought your travel kit with you to make do. You figured you’d just make any adjustments once the three of you made it to the party, but Steve vetoed that immediately. He said it would’ve been “un-cool” to pull out a sewing kit at a high school party. 

You weren’t the most popular, really only getting mixed up with Steve’s reputation due to long-standing family friendships, but you listened to him anyways. After all, he was showing up in a wedding dress, so you could keep your sewing kit to yourself for a few hours. 

“Stop moving then! Rob, you’re worse than Steve. I’m almost done.” As you pulled Robin back to you , you huffed and went back in with the safety pins to shorten the straps holding up the paper mache boulder. “Steve, no one is here. You can get out of the car, you know?”

“No way! I know for a fact that Dustin’s stupid little group is meeting right now. I don’t need that butthead seeing me like this. He’d have a field day, Y/N.” Steve scoffed and stayed right where he was in the car. He kept the engine going, allowing some music to filter out of the open windows, and kept impatiently giving you reminders to get a move on. There was only so much of a grace period that arriving late actually seemed cool and not pretentious. 

With one last adjustment, you closed your travel kit and threw it through the back car window. You carefully got Robin out of the boulder costume so she could ride in the car comfortably and placed it on the seat next to her.  Rounding the car to make your way to the passenger side, you’re all nearly in the clear when the side doors to the school slam open with loud hoots and yells bellowing out.

“Shit! Y/N, get in the car! We—” “Steve! STEVE!” “Dammit.”

You were nearly convinced that Steve would leave you there for not being fast enough, and you thought you saw his hand hesitate over the gear shift, but he ultimately decided against that particular intrusive thought. Instead, Steve prepared himself for the Henderson Attack and you gave him an apologetic smile. You mouth a quick ‘sorry’ to him, but quickly move on from him to seek out a familiar face. 

Dustin rushed the car, slamming his hands down on the hood as if to further deter the glorified babysitter from leaving. It took everything in you to not laugh, and you nearly did when your eyes settled upon Eddie’s snickering form. The wild-haired dungeon master stayed a few feet back from the car. He was closer to his van than Steve’s car, but he still didn’t ditch the younger group members. 

You watched him, just like you did in the lunch room, and prayed he didn’t look back at you while you were in a silly Halloween costume. Eddie’s aesthetic of flashy rings and leather jackets trumped your knock-off Indiana Jones ten times over. Sure, he had just come from playing a heated fantasy game with a bunch of underclassman, but he still exuded an untouchable vibe. 

“Woah—Y/N! Is that a whip?” Dustin’s loud mouth and lack of filter dragged your focus back to the car, where your whip and hat were both set on display on top of the dashboard. Steve had to swat away Dustin’s hand from reaching in through his driver-side window and you quickly got in the car to take the accessories into the safety of your arms. “Where did you get a whip?”

“They’re vital to the costume.” You consider putting the hat on to give a better glimpse of who you’re impersonating, but think better of it when you feel the eyes of everyone, including Eddie, staring at you through Steve’s open window. The warmth of your blushing cheeks is not lost on you, or Steve, and you tap the watch on your wrist. “Time to go, Steve!”

You don’t really know what Steve said or did for Dustin to safely step away from the car, but you felt the car lurch forward as Steve promptly began driving. The brunet had asked you the same question when you first showed him the prop weapon, but you’d just been vague. You didn’t want to give your best friend the satisfaction of a vanilla answer, even if the truth was as simple as a cheap find from the shop. Giving him a non-answer kept him guessing, which was payback enough for all the stuff he’d put you through when he whined and groaned about his failed rendezvous. 

“Did any of us consider bringing a camera to immortalize the day Y/N L/N got Steve Harrington in a wedding dress?” As Robin spoke up from the backseat, you pivoted in the passenger seat to meet her stare. You opened your mouth to reply, but no words came out as your gaze landed on the lone figure that leaned against his clanky van. Eddie wasn’t joking around with the other members of Hellfire as they waited for their own rides, he was just looking after Steve’s car as it sped out of the parking lot. 

In a moment of complete stupidity, you raised your hand and waved. Whether Eddie saw your movements through the back window or not, you didn’t stick around to see. Instead, you turned back around in your seat to look straight ahead, completely missing the way the freak of Hawkins High had raised his hand to return the gesture.

blurb idea inspired by mattys hair… amelia and matty go to the hairdressers together

could be cute assss

Omg, this is so cute and sparked some more ideas around it so...there's more than Amelia cutting her hair hehe

Warning: this is long for a blurb lol

So, I can't really picture Matty going to a place to cut his hair. I don't know why haha...but I can see some stylist-crew member cutting it just before a show because Matty is irritated with his curls hiding his eyes and getting in the way of his sight.

Anyway, one day, waiting to get on stage, he sits on a chair ready to get rid of the extra hair with a very little Amelia sitting on his lap. At first, she looks in awe how the crew member flies around her father's head, moving like a cartoon inside the tv. Everything is fun until his curls --the ones she loves to pull with her tinny hands-- disappear one by one.

"Mel-mel, what's wrong, baby?"

Y/n who rushed closer to them as soon as Amelia started crying, spoke for the two of them, "We're mad about daddy's decision, aren't we, sweets?" she coos at her two-year-old.

Amelia's under lip still wobbles even when she stopped crying. Meanwhile, Matty couldn't help to roll his eyes at his girlfriend's comment.

"It'll be the same in two weeks time, my loves." he reassured them, which takes all of Amelia's attention. "You're just like mommy, aren't ya? Obsessed with daddy's hair?" the little girl giggling with the tickles her dad provides.

*******************

Ohh, but the story is very different when the three kids of this family grow up.

During the adolescence, it's very common to change hair and clothe styles. It is reasonable when you're trying to find the one that says "here I'm...this is me". The children took the process very seriously.

The stories are many but the most important of each are these:

Amelia

She's the sweetheart, the tender one of the family. Always sensitive and very introverted. So when during a pyjama party some mean girls dare to cut her very long --it almost reached her waist-- she can't say no to them and agrees with it. They cut it closer to her shoulders, making her look like a totally different person when she looks at her reflection in the bathroom mirror.

Amelia calls Y/n in a total crisis. Her mother rushes to pick her up and tries as best as she can to hold her reaction.

"I look awful." Amelia says between broken cries.

"That's impossible, baby. You're the most gorgeous girl in the world!" Y/n protests.

"I'll hide for the rest of my life inside the house, inside my room."

Y/n reaches for her hand in a very motherly way, "Mel, this is fixable, okay?"

She looks up at her, with tears trying to scape them. "Really?"

"Yes!! 100%!" Y/n continues, "We'll go to the salon tomorrow...and I'll let you dye it if you wa-"

"Would you really?!" Amelia screams.

And how can Y/n say no when that would cheer her baby?

Y/n nods, gaining a big hug from her daughter.

Amelia ends up getting a good hair cut and she decides to dye the ends with a soft pink that the entire school end up admiring --even the mean girls-- because she rocks it.

Arthur

There's a moment, a period, in his life when he's 13 or so that Arthur becomes obsessed with Matty's past styles. His dad looks so cool, and he wants exactly that. So he tries to recreate one of his most iconic looks: the mohawk.

One day, when his parent left with Ruth and Amelia is too engrossed with her paintings, Arthur sneaks into Matty and Y/n's bedroom. He manages to steal the razor Matty has in one of his drawers and runs towards his room.

His heart is pounding hard inside his ribcage when he plugs the thing.

Arthur tries pressing a button and the razor comes alive in his hand. He's so scared that he almost drops it but manages to turn it off again.

"Don't be a coward." he whispers to himself.

So, he tries again. He gets comfortable with the buzzing sound, walking to stand in front of his mirror.

Arthur strategically placed his phone with a picture he found on the internet.

"Okay, first this side." he speaks as if someone can hear him.

The young man inclines his head to the left side, bringing the razor closer and closer. Quicker than expected he looks towards the floor how part of his hair fall on it.

Arthur's eye go directly to his reflection, finding another one.

His head whiplashes back, looking at his dad standing on his bedroom door.

"Dad, I can expla-" he tries, but Matty smile gets wider.

Arthur watches his dad dismiss his apology and holds a hand in front of himself. "Do you need help, Archie?"

----------

Y/n listens a pair of steps coming from behind her head. She doesn't turn, but she starts speaking. "Where were you, Matty? I thought you went to check-" she continues, this time turning around. "What the fuck?!"

"Y/n! Language!"

"Oh shut the fuck up, Matthew! What have you done to him?" she screams.

Matty can't help to laugh uncontrollably.

"He was doing it by himself...I just helped him a little." he explains.

Y/n stands up, going to hold Arthur's head. She turns him from side to side, taking a good look.

"What? Do I look bad?" the vulnerable question brings Y/n back.

"What? No, baby...you- You don't look bad at all. It's just-" Arthur only understands when his mom adds, "You look exactly like your father a few years back."

Matty's smirk adorns his entire face.

"That was the idea!" Arthur exclaims, happily, and his dad places a strong arm around his shoulders.

The boy looks up to him, warming Y/n's heart in a way that brushes away every anger inside it.

Ruth

I love the three of them but I stan Ruth in a way I can't explain. She's the rock star of the family. Her story is a bit different from her siblings.

All the children inherited Matty's type of hair, the only difference was that with time Amelia and Arthur got some characteristics of theirs mother --long, straight and soft. But Ruth's hair copied exactly the transition Matty's hair did during his life. Her hair got curlier and curlier to a point she hated it.

After the hundred treatment she tried, Ruth is beyond annoyed.

"This is not working, guys." she said to her parent.

"She just called us 'guys'?" Matty asked Y/n, dropping a plate he was drying.

Y/n nodded. "She did."

"Hello?! I'm talking to you."

"And we're listening, Matty." her father mocked her with the nickname she hates.

"Fine, forget it."

"Ruth!" Y/n screams after her but it's in vain.

The girl rushes upstairs, not even mad for real with her parents, just determined to complete the idea inside her head

-----

"Done. Problem solved." Ruth stands in front of Matty and Y/n.

Y/n throws her head backwards, saying, "Your kids are going to drive me crazy, Healy."

"Do I have to remind you who brought them to this world?" Matty follows the joke. "You look good, Ruthy!"

"I know!" she shows her shaved head around. "Mom?"

"I love your curls." Y/n tries to protest. "But if someone can rock that hairstyle is you, baby."

"Thanks mommy." Ruth goes to hug her.

*******

Hair is a big issue in this family haha

Can anyone ever replace Freddie?

By Cheryl Stonehouse

IT’S JUST short of 20 years since Queen left the building for the last time with the crowd still howling for more. They would have howled louder, no doubt, had they known that the British band that had garnered as huge a worldwide following as The Beatles or the Rolling Stones would never take the stage again. “We didn’t know at the time, of course, that it was the last live show but it was fantastic and I will remember it vividly,” says DJ and music author Jon Kutner, a long time Queen fan.

“I saw them live six times in all, the first time in 1976(8?), and then I was lucky enough to be at that last Wembley gig, so I never felt as though I had missed out once Freddie’s illness was announced and it was clear that they would never perform together again.”

But never is a short time in rock ‘n’ roll.

Exactly how short varies, usually in direct relation to the financial needs of those left behind after one or more key members of a fabulously successful combo have made their exit, regardless of whether that departure is caused by artistic differences or the not-to-be-ignored call of the Grim Reaper.

In the case of iconic Sixties rock band Free, whose lead singer Paul Rodgers has just won this year’s most (…) job in popular music as Queen’s new lead singer, “never” turned out to be about nine months after their first split.

That reunion was disastrous. Free’s fabulously talented Paul Kossoff was carried off by an overdose and so it was that, as an embryonic Queen supported Mott the Hoople at the New Oxford Theatre, Paul Rodgers was already collecting gold records with his second iconic band, Bad Company.

But for Queen, “never” has turned out to be the passing of a full 19 years. However, even for one of the most staggeringly well-heeled bands in the world, once possessed of the most irreplaceable lead singer in the world, the temptation to re-form has proved too much.

It’s not that guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor need the money. Queen have been one of the most successful British rock bands of all time and one of the few to comprehensively break into the American music scene.

They’ve certainly had their moments when it came to excess… stories of cocaine served on trays perched on the heads of dwarves at their legendary after gig parties persist — but they were also one of the few bands to take early control of their contracts and their fortunes and turn themselves into a company, using business law to protect their fabulous earnings from the depredation of the music industry’s hangers-on.

There has been no prodding of the unpaid tax bill or the dwindling nest-egg to push them into the desperate — and surely futile — hunt for a Freddie replacement. So once the HIV virus had robbed the band of Freddie Mercury in 1991, it reslly did seem as if never really would mean never.

Certainly John Deacon decided that there was no band without its outrageous and theatrical frontman, and he went home to his mansion on the outskirts of north London to be with wife Veronica and their six children.

WHEN Robbie Williams recorded We Are The Champions two years ago for the film A Knight’s Tale, he made no secret of his hope that he might be able to fill the patent-leather thigh-high boots left vacant by Freddie. Deacon, meanwhile, was in a rare public (…) about the idea: “No one could replace Freddie and certainly not him.”

Ever since Freddie’s death, Deacon has resolutely refused to join his more musically-active band-mates in any of their projects (although he has happily endorsed all their Queen related ventures) and only recently did he agree to take up his drumsticks just one more time for a recording of No One But You, Brian May’s tribute to Freddie.

And even though he has made no effort to maintain the fame that brought him fortune, he — like May and Taylor — remains a very rich man whose back account is constantly being replenished by Queen’s enduring popularity.

In the six years after Freddie’s death the earnings of Queen Productions Ltd in which all four members had had an equal share, topped more than £120m(?).

Even in the Queen-lull of the mid-Nineties, the company’s annual income topped £10m(?). And, once Brian May had asked Ben Elton to create a vaguely feasible plot that would make it possible to create a musical featuring Queen songs, the company’s earnings rocketed again, and We Will Rock You became a West End smash hit. In London alone, more than two million people have been to see the show since it opened two years ago — not to mention its popularity in Las Vegas, Australia and various European theatres.

YET the magic of the Queen brand is difficult to define. Even at the height of their fame, they were roundly and persistently rubbished by music critics who seemed disgusted, more than anything, by the theatricality that this bunch of ex-students, with their big hair and their clogs, had inflicted on rock music. Former art student Freddie was singled out for much of the blame.

“It was as though they couldn’t forgive him and, indeed, the rest of them for being rather bright — Brian May all but got a PhD in astrophysics before he decided to give all his attention to music — and also very musically talented,” says Queen biographer Jane Higgins.

“It’s rather ironic, given who Brian has now chosen as a worthy (…) to Freddie, that a lot of those critics hated the camp flamboyance of Queen because they were stuck in the (…) days of bands like Free.

“Keep it working class, keep it real — I think that was their attitude. All this stagecraft stuff that Queen were so good at, and which Brian May and Roger Taylor have recreated so successfully in the stage show, just tainted the industry.

“As time has proved, they were wrong. Who, except for a few old hippies like me, remembers who Paul Rodgers is, even though he does still have one of the most superb voices in the business.”

No publicist could have planned Queen’s career path. They did all the wrong things — or so professsional image-makers would have told them at the time. Never mind Ferddie’s dress-sense, which frequently dropped the jaws of producers on Top Of The Pops (but wowed the youngsters), or Brian May’s coiffure courtesy of Charles II’s hairdresser.

There was the widely soundtrack composed for Flash Gordon in 1980, a commission regarded at the time as cred-suicide for any self-respecting rock band and a source of (…) for drunks of a certain age today — but still a solid source of (…) for Queen enterprises. It topped the charts in the USA in all threee categories of rock, soul and disco and sold more than 45 million albums worldwide.

They wrote songs with fabulous (…) and ridiculous lyrics. Neither Taylor or May could explain what the words of Bohemian Rhapsody meant when Ben Elton was struggling to find a way to slot it into the stage show’s plot, snd yet the song remains one of the nations’s favourite tracks of all time. It has twice been a number one hit, the second time after Mercury’s death, re-released after it was featured in Mike Myers’’ Wayne’s World.

And there are hundreds of thousands of people who will tell you that no matter what anyone says the show-stopping performance of 1985’s Live Aid was Queen’s.

There was more jaw-dropping over Brian May’s relationship with Anita Dobson, at the time best known as Angie in EastEnders.

“We know his wardrobe is put together by stylish Swedes but how can any rock legend have his love-life scripted by soap opera and hold his head up high in a nightclub,” wrote one columnist at the time.

THEY remain an item having finally married a couple of years ago. “Any time I try to move away from her in even the smallest degree, my guts drop out,” says May. “It’s been (…) that since the first time I met her.”

And although Freddie’s sexuality was a taboo subject until the day before his death, when he announced that he had the Aids virus, it was not difficult to guess from his music and lifestyle that his love-life was, at the very least, flamboyant. But the power of his charisma made it possible for both gays and sporting types to share the anthem that is We Are The Champions.

No matter what Queen did, or how hard the (…) tried to knock them off their (…), the band were and are still adored by an utterly loyal fan base. It was only right, therefore, that the figure silhouetted against the sky atop Buckingham Palace, playing God Save The Queen on Stratocaster at the beginning of the ground-breaking 2002 Rock Jubilee Concert in the Palace gardens, should be none other than Brian May. Freddie should have been there, too. He would certainly have been invited.

So the group that still needs the record for pulling in the largest paying audience for a single band — 131,000 people at the Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo — has few concerns about whether the new line-up will be able to sell tickets.

The new tour will include all the major stadiums in Britain and more spectacular events abroad — they have been asked to play at Nelson Mandela’s concert for Aids charities being held in South Africa in memory of his son — and the new obligatory Hyde Park gig in July. Several dates are already sold out.

“I’m personally not very excited about it,” confesses Jon Kutner. “I was a huge fan and I’m really too young to be a true Paul Rodgers fan. But I talked to Brian and Roger about this comeback a couple of days ago and they are very (…) that Paul is not meant to be Freddie’s replacement.

“They see him as a (…) who had the talent and experience to carry that burden well enough to recapture a bit of that live performance excitement again.

“A lot of people will be very angry but I think they may be missing the point. As Brian says, Freddie himself would rather enjoy (…) people off — he’d probably say: ‘Gor for it.’”

ro i just need to tell you that i love your writing so much i literally explode everytime you post and i’m in love with you i think ! The way u write jason is literally how i want my dream man! I don’t even want men! he’s so scrumdiddlyumptious and i am so glad that i found yr writing Tbh

thank u for being The Jason Todd writer ever and i can’t wait to see what else u have in store :33!!!!

(also i think i have to hear what went down between mattel and mga that caused the downfall of bratz now!! ur making me curious with that one thing on ur sideblog ⁉️)

i really don't know what i've done to get so many kind messages from all these people, it kinda feels a little surreal like woah...u like me? i am in love with YOU for sending me this sweet n kind message like, should we get married now?

i am a man hater till the day i die, but i unfortunately am attracted to them :( too bad they fucking suck. ughhhh i've written him as my dream man too (accidentally set the bar too high for myself so fml) and i'm soooooooooo glad you find joy in my writing, it means the world to me, and i hope you continue to find joy in it <33

as for MATTEL v MGA...

(this is a really shit summary and all from memory so i could be wrong about some things but this is the general gist of what happened and i'll try to find a good article or video with much more accurate info)

basically in may of 2001, MGA entertainment released the original/main 4 bratz dolls, a group of four girls consisting of cloe, jade, yasmin, and sasha. bratz, similarly to barbie, was advertised towards young girls, but the biggest differences between the two doll lines were the diversity & the fashions. where barbie was typically shown with a pale complexion, blonde hair, and blue eyes; each original bratz girl was a different race. cloe was white, jade was asian, sasha was black, and yasmin was a bown hispanic. aside from the diversity of these four girlies, they were also dressed to the NINES !! head to toe in fashions that were unique and trendy for the time period, and to this day they absolutely devour like they're on moodboards for every fashion girlie and it's literally been 20+ years, like talk about longevity.

anyway, i'll skip most of the mumbo jumbo about their releases (even though i could literally give a list of my fave bratz lines of that era), but they became BIG, releasing literally hundreds of dolls and continuously expanding the ever-rotating list of side characters to go along on the core four adventures. some of the more notable releases are the ever iconic rock angelz dolls (my literal 4lyfers), pretty n punk (which came from that same movie), tokyo a go go, slumber party and nighty nite, etc., and aside from those dolls, they had movies, merch, electronics, albums, food, cosmetics, etc. like they were MASSIVE despite so much controversy surrounding them. sooooo massive that they surpassed barbie, and one thing mattel doesn't play about is fucking BARBIE (literally nerfed monster high bc they were gaining too much popularity, and that was THEIR brand).

here's where it all goes to shit. so naturally, when faced with a fierce competitor, mattel filed a lawsuit after discovering that carter bryant was involved in the creation of bratz. who is carter bryant? well, not only the creator of bratz but a FORMER MATTEL EMPLOYEE !!! and that's why shit hit the fan; mattels lawsuit was basically over the rights to bratz. their argument was that because bryant was employed under mattel at the time of his big idea, that bratz was technically mattels property. this legal battle lasts like literal ages, and there were a lot of layers to it that i can't really understand because legal jargon hurts my brain, but there's a book that goes into great detail called 'you don't own me' i believe. mattel won the lawsuit in 2008, and ownership of the bratz brand was to be handed over to them, but at some point between 2008 and 2010, mga took their case to the court of appeals and won, meaning they regained ownership. during all of that time bratz fashions had become less stylish, releases weren't as often, the hair was shit (but that was also cuz of mattel bc those fuckers play dirty), and overall the brand just wasn't the same. imo, the best way to see the decline in quality is to go to the lookin bratz site and see how different post-2009 releases were (and even then, some of those were...like cowgirlz was, imo, the last really good bratz line, but one could argue it was dance crewz)

they continued producing dolls through 2014, even creating their own version of monster high called bratzillaz (i should also mention that myscene was mattels version of bratz). then, in 2015, they completely rebooted the franchise with a new line titled 'hello my name is'. this line featured the original 4 girls plus a new girl named raya. and that whole...that entire thing was BAD to me, but some people like it.

anyway, there was never like a "real" downfall, but they had some pretty bad years lmao. they're back tho so we up!!!! i have a collection of fashion dolls, monster high, bratz, rainbow high, and hopefully barbies soon. literally my favorite collection (i have a lot)
