Columbia, SC's WTLX 19 reports:

"Ex-deacon arrested in Sumter County, charged with sharing nude image with minor in youth group"

"SUMTER COUNTY, S.C. — Authorities say a former Sumter County church deacon has been arrested after allegedly sharing an obscene photograph with a church youth group member.

...77-year-old Maxell Navar Bohn II of Sumter was charged with disseminating obscene material to a person under 18.

...the victim's father told...contacted law enforcement after someone sent a nude picture to [his daughter's] mobile phone. Investigators determined that Bohn sent the photograph.

According to the sheriff's office, the suspect is a member of the church and, until this week, was also a deacon there.

Investigators secured a warrant for Bohn's arrest on Thursday ...

A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said that investigators aren't aware of other potential recipients of obscene material from Bohn but said the investigation is ongoing."

Again: not a drag queen, not a school teacher, not a trans-anybody.

Thanks to Purple Lady's Stuff for highlighting this.

Bowl Previews: December 27

The weekend starts early as we get a whopping five bowl games, including our first P5 vs P5 games of the season.

Military Bowl (Annapolis, MD): North Carolina 6-6 (4-4) vs Temple 8-4 (5-3)

Mack Brown’s return to Chapel Hill has been a shot in the arm for North Carolina. The Tar Heels defied expectations and have returned to the postseason ahead of schedule. UNC obviously isn’t a world-beater at this point, but they can compete.

Temple also has had a smooth coaching transition in Rod Carey’s first year at the helm. The Owls weren’t able to roll with the punches week in and week out in the AAC, but they’re the only team to hand Cotton Bowl bound Memphis a loss so they definitely can shut down an opponent if they’re properly prepared.

-

Pinstripe Bowl (New York City, NY): Michigan State 6-6 (4-5) vs Wake Forest 8-4 (4-4)

Michigan State feels like they’re regressing. In 2019 the Spartans just clearly are miles away from the top flight talent in the Big Ten. They were completely noncompetitive against Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Michigan. They still compete well against the rest of the division, but the usually sturdy Sparty doesn’t throw around the same weight that they used to.

Wake Forest continues to be a feel-good story in the ACC. The Demon Deacons were in the Orange Bowl conversation for a little while before losses to Louisville and Virginia Tech took the wind out of their sails. Still, with the rest of the conference outside of Clemson mostly regressing, Wake stands out as one of the best run programs in the league.

-

Texas Bowl (Houston, TX): #25 Oklahoma State 8-4 (5-4) vs Texas A&M 7-5 (4-4)

Old Big 12 foes face off in a regional battle. Oklahoma State continues to chug along. The Cowboys haven’t been able to match their in-state rivals lately, but they’re always in the top half of league standings and one of these years I’m sure they’ll return to #1 spot.

Texas A&M is probably a very good team. It’s just hard to tell since the Aggies routinely play one of the hardest schedules in the nation. A crossover game with Georgia and a non-conference matchup with Clemson are the only reason A&M isn’t sitting pretty with a 9-3 record and a lot more people talking about them. Being one or two steps behind the LSU’s and Alabama’s of the world still makes for a very good football team.

-

Holiday Bowl (San Diego, CA): #22 USC 8-4 (7-2) vs #16 Iowa 9-3 (6-3)

The Holiday Bowl is one of my favorite sub-NY6 bowls. They usually get good matchups and this one is no difference.

2019 USC is a curious beast. The Trojans and their boatload of talent were clearly one of the better teams in the PAC-12 on balance, but they way they lost their four losses pushed them out of the conversation for most of the year despite beating South Division champs Utah in September. Backbreaking close losses to BYU and Notre Dame as well as non-competitive games against Washington and Oregon had fans calling for Clay Helton’s head. Many people are still in shock that Helton hasn’t gotten the axe. SC is still leading the pack in California and can reestablish themselves as preeminent in a league with no obvious #1 for the foreseeable future. Time will tell.

Iowa might largely look the same as they did ten or even twenty years ago. They play a hard nosed style of football that doesn’t change much, and it works. The Hawkeyes struggled to put away their toughest opponents this season, but they could dominate everybody else. UI finished third in the Big Ten West, but that was mostly due to drawing both Penn State and Michigan in the crossover games. The Hawks beat Minnesota, who would have gone to the Big Ten Championship Game and probably the Rose Bowl if it hadn’t been for the loss to Iowa, among others. You could set you watch to the consistency of this program.

-

Cheez-It Bowl (Phoenix, AZ): Air Force 10-2 (7-1) vs Washington State 6-6 (3-6)

Air Force was certainly the second best team in the Mountain West, and at certain points in the year looked at least as good as Boise State. The Falcons suffered a loss to the aforementioned Broncos and lost a battle on the road with a resurgent Navy, but otherwise they were perfect. Air Force ran all over opposing teams on offense and sported a lock down defense.

Pretty much diametrically opposed to AFA is Washington State. The Cougars’s air raid attack is just as dangerous as the option if not properly prepared for. Wazzu nearly missed a bowl, but they managed to make the postseason yet again after finishing tied for fifth in the PAC-12 North

Just My Luck; Part 2

Summary: John deacon x fem!reader. John and Reader send each other letters. Reader and Jeanne delve deeper into Queen.

Warnings: Cussing, slow burn

Word Count: 3.4k

A/N: So, I think there was a malfunction or something because all of the sudden, none of my links to this post had any text, just tags. Hopefully this fixes it. Anyway, more Queen and John in this as well as a get-to-know-you for Reader and Jeanne. Let me know if you like it!

Part 1, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14 (Epilogue), Masterlist

🍀🍀🍀

John had much less autonomy than you did when writing his letter. With Roger and Freddie taking over the pen, and Brian’s editing skills, basically all John actually wrote was his name, using the nickname you had given him when you were younger. Luckily, all of the boys had used some restraint as well as information about y/n that John provided them, and the letter was mostly believable. John was pretty happy with the result.

Dear y/n,

I am so glad that you reached out to me, love, it has been far too long. I feel the need to apologise to you as well for not finding a way to write you sooner. Though I do thank you for the effort you put into your research. It is very flattering to have someone like yourself go to any lengths just to write to me. I have missed reading your letters and knowing about your life greatly, and would love to stay in touch. You can send letters to this address: 836 Bonfield Ave., P.O. Box 74, London, England, 02519, and it will get to me.

How are you? Did you enjoy your time at the University of Washington? Are you still pursuing teaching like you wanted to back when we were younger? Your passion for learning and education never ceased to amaze me. Where in Europe are you spending time? I have done some extensive travelling in Europe myself, so I could be pretty familiar with wherever you are staying. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Ever Yours,

        Johnny

The letter didn’t mention visiting each other because, as Roger said, “You have to play hard to get, Deaky. Always leave ‘em wanting more.”

Although John wasn’t so sure, with Freddie, and especially Brian, agreeing with Roger, he consented.

John mailed the letter as soon as it was written, which meant the very same day. Everyone accompanied him to make sure that he actually went through with it, as well as making sure he had the correct postage. But he would have been fine without them. As soon as it was actually written, John was sure that he wanted to send it, and nothing would stop him. He scoured his flat for stamps and finally found a couple in the bottom of his desk’s lowest drawer. He quickly pasted them on, addressed the envelope to you, and was out the door, boys following close behind. Knowing exactly where the closest post box was, he walked with purpose and long strides. When he got there, he paused, waiting for the other boys, the slightly shorter Roger and Freddie trying to catch their breath in the interim. All of the sudden, he turned, lifted the flap of the slot, and pushed the letter in without a second thought. John spun around and smiled at the boys, receiving grins back from the three. They walked back to John and Brian’s flat, joking and giggling all the way.

_____

Back in Seattle, you were trying to busy yourself as much as possible during the unbearably long wait. This meant throwing yourself into work and school. This actually worked in your favor, receiving the first A+ in your most difficult class. Your boss at the coffee shop also noticed that you were taking on more at work and coming in for extra shifts, so she promoted you to a shift lead. Even though you would be leaving for three months pretty soon, you were happy for the raise.

Jeanne was also a welcomed distraction. She and you would gossip about people at the café and friends from undergrad. The two of you also loved watching TV, catching reruns of “The Brady Bunch” that reminded you of childhood memories and watching this new comedy show with that guy from National Lampoon magazine called “Saturday Night Live.” Jeanne had a deal with you that she would watch the show live with you every other week as long as you went to bars, discoes, and clubs with her, with the stipulation that she would watch the taped show the next day with you.

It was on one of these nights back in November that you had really taken notice of the band, Queen, in the first place. Jeanne and you had been sitting at the bar, drinking wine and a gin & tonic, respectively, when all of the sudden Jeanne started freaking out.

“Oh my gosh, y/n, this is it, this is it!” she yelled at you over the music.

“This is what, Jeanne, the night that we realize we’re wasting our time here and should probably just stay at home?” you quipped, having already fended off the advances of some unsavory dudes, you were done being at the bar.

“No, no shut up. This is the song I was telling you about, Bohemian Rhapsody, so be quiet and listen!”

And you did. You listened for the rest of the 5:55 song. It wasn’t enough. How were you supposed to grasp the entirety of the song in just one listen, in a crowded and loud bar? That’s exactly what you told Jeanne.

“And another thing, how have I not heard this before? And when can I hear it again?” you urgently asked Jeanne.

“See, I told you you’d love it. And it doesn’t get played very much on a lot of radio stations because it’s so long,” she explained to you.

“It was long, but that’s a stupid reason not to play a song as good as that. Who’s it by?” you inquired.

“That band, Queen. They have another song we like, “Killer Queen,” do you remember?” Jeanne prompted.

“Oh yeah, when we heard that we couldn’t stop singing it at each other. I guess I really like their music,” you replied, laughing. You normally relied on Jeanne to relay the music facts to you. Liking the songs and knowing the lyrics was one thing, but knowing the titles and band names, not to mention band members’ names is too much for your brain to keep up with.

“And to answer your other question, I guess it’s our lucky day, because I heard that Wall of Sound just got in the single the other day, and I’m going to buy it for the both of us to share,” Jeanne said, smiling and giving you a “you’re welcome” look.

“You are the best friend I could hope for. You’re amazing. I’m eternally grateful,” you piled on the praise, knowing she was never one to turn down a compliment.

At the record store on Monday, Jeanne bought the precious single. It was all the both of you could do not to run to the car and speed all the way home to listen to it as soon as possible. Once at your apartment, you got ready for the listening experience by closing the blinds, turning off the lights, and lighting all the candles the two of you had. Then, you laid down of the floor so that your heads were right next to each other but bodies going the opposite way. Jeanne had to sit up slightly to actually put the needle on the record, but quickly moved back and took a synchronised deep breath in with you.

The song played through and there was nothing to do but play it again. After the second play-through, you both knew it was okay to talk. Jeanne restarted the song and the two of you discussed your favorite parts, what gave you chills, and how good each part of it was.

“That guitar solo, fuckin’ out of this world,” Jeanne said straight-faced. That’s how you knew, to her, it was a fact, not merely an opinion.

“Agreed. I still can’t get over how they layered their voices in the middle section. Just thinking about it is giving me goosebumps.”

The song came to an end for the third time, but this time Jeanne’s and your voices joined Freddie’s own once he sang “nothing really matters, anyone can see...” until the end.

“What’s on the B-side?”

“Um, I don’t know, let’s flip it over and check it out,” Jeanne replied. “‘I’m in Love with My Car,’... that sounds… interesting.”

“Put the needle on, I want to see what the hell that even means,” you laughed as she put it on, with a confused look on her face. That laugh continued throughout the song and was joined by Jeanne’s as well. But, much like ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ the car song got multiple plays, and by the beginning of the third time, you were both jamming out to it.

“As funny as the lyrics are, it’s actually a good song. I really like this guy’s voice,” Jeanne said as she nodded her head and hummed along with the music.

“Yeah, it’s really different to whomever sings ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’” you agreed.

“Mercury.”

“Huh?”

“Freddie Mercury. That’s his name, the one that sings ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ He’s the lead singer of Queen. And, let’s see...” she said as she grabbed the record’s sleeve. “This says that the car song is sung by a Mr. Roger Taylor.”

“Hmmm, interesting.”

“Uh-huh. You’ll forget their names as soon as this song ends,” Jeanne said, rolling her eyes. She didn’t really care that you didn’t know their names, but that wouldn’t stop her from mocking you.

For months after that, the two of you would have at least a weekly listening of the two singles, and would cheer and sing along anytime they came on in your car. Though it wasn’t until three and a half weeks after you had sent John the letter that you got anything new to freak out about.

“Why hasn’t she replied yet? It’s been ages.”

“It’s been a week and a half, Roger,” Brian replied without looking up, sitting in the armchair of his living room, reading a book.

“Well it feels like ages,” Roger mumbled back from his spot laying on the couch.

“In any case, you need to be quiet about it when Deaky gets here, he’s goin’ out of his head enough without you complaining too,” Brian warned Roger with a stern look.

“I know, I know. I’m just really curious about this whole ‘thing’ Deaks has with y/n. I don’t quite understand it,” Roger relented.

“What? You don’t understand how someone could have any sort of a relationship with a girl without sex?” Brian scoffed at Roger.

“No! Well, sort of. Okay, listen, I’m not a complete arse. I know men and women can be just friends. I just don’t know why he would choose to be. Especially with someone 8000 km away,” Roger said, bewildered.

“Darling, you don’t choose who you love. You just do,” Freddie interjected, walking into the living room from the kitchen with a bag of crisps. Brian started to correct him but Fred stopped him before he could, “I know, I know, no ‘love’ talk around our dear Deaky. But you know it’s obvious he is in love by that look he gets in his eyes everytime he thinks of her,” he emphasized the end of his sentence with the raising of an eyebrow and the crunch of a crisp.

The next moment, Deaky walked in the front door, finding his three bandmates lounging in his shared living room. They were all oddly silent, which was too suspicious for his liking.

“Were you guys just talking about me?”

“No, I have no idea what you mean. But, now that you are here, I’d love to catch up. Take a seat, love, have a crisp,” Freddie tried to brush off his accusations.

“Okay,” John said, taking the bait. “Well I just got back from the studio. No mail. I’m pretty sure that’s only the fourth time I’ve checked since Monday, so that’s good.”

“It’s Tuesday,” Roger said incredulously.

“Pretty sure?” Brian asked at the same time. They exchanged looks and shared a quick exhale of breath.

“That’s perfectly fine, Deaky. Progress, really. Just try not to worry, y/n’s letter will be here before you know it,” Freddie reassured, wrapping his arm around his shoulder.

“Thanks, Fred. I just can’t wait to get to know her again.”

“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Jeanne. Happy birthday to you!” Your mom and you sang to her, belting out the notes together and trying (but failing) to add some harmony at the end. Jeanne blew out the candles and quickly closed her eyes, making her wish.

“This cake looks wonderful!” she beamed at you both.

“It’s your favorite, chocolate cake with chocolate filling, chocolate frosting, and chocolate flakes!” you smiled back at her, laughing.

“Thank you both, so much. It means a lot to me that you’re both here since my parents couldn’t fly out from Montreal.”

“Of course, sweetie. You know we love you like family,” your mom said, giving her shoulders a squeeze.

While they were picking out the candles and chatting, you ran to your room and grabbed her present, wrapped up in a colorful scarf you knew she would also love.

“Alright, here’s your present, Jeanne!” you held out her present, tilting it back and forth in your hands to entice her.

“Ooo, I’m so excited!” she said, grabbing it from you. “I love this wrapping. Is it a scarf?” she said with a little gasp. After struggling for a second with the fancy knot you had tied, she pulled off the scarf with a flourish and her jaw dropped. “You didn’t!”

“I did.”

“Oh. My. Fuck!” she exclaimed, eyes still glued to object before her. It was Queen’s entire new album, A Night at the Opera, to which the beloved songs “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “I’m in Love with My Car” belonged.

“Safe to say you like it?” you asked as you laughed at her reaction to the gift and your mom’s reaction to her choice of words.

“Like it? I love it. I love you! You have my eternal gratitude and I’m playing this right now,” she responded as she hopped up and ran over to the record player.

“What is it, honey?” your mom asked, still confused at her strong reaction.

“It’s a record from a band we both really like-”

“-Love-” interjected Jeanne.

“love. They’re called Queen.” you informed your mom, knowing she preferred disco to rock and her favorite was the new song, “Fernando,” by ABBA. You couldn’t fault her for her tastes though, as you also loved disco and ABBA.

“Oh, I see. They’re the British ones with the long hair and funny clothes,” she replied.

“Um, yeah, that’s right.” She wasn’t wrong, as that description matched most rock and roll bands you could think of. You heard the telltale sound of the needle touching down on the vinyl and stopped talking. Your mom got the memo and also stayed silent as you three moved into the living room with the cake platter and three forks. Luckily, your mom could appreciate great music when she heard it and understood Jeanne’s and your commitment to listening with full attention and was content to sit silently and eat cake throughout the entire 43:08 of the album.

After the last notes of “God Save the Queen,” played out and the arm of the needle clicked, coming to a stop, the three of you let out a long breath.

“That was incredible,” your mom was the first to form words and Jeanne and you just nodded.

Before anything else, Jeanne flipped the record back to the side one and started it again, at a lower volume. Finally, she reacted, “I think this is the best present I’ve ever gotten for my birthday.”

“Hell, I think it’s the best present I’ve ever gotten on your birthday,” you replied, earning laughs from both women. You continued, “Let’s look at the album art.”

“Good idea,” Jeanne and your mom said simultaneously as Jeanne reached for the album cover. She placed it in front of the three of you facing up, and you all leaned in for a closer look.

“Are those… fairies?” your mom questioned.

“Yeah, and two lions and a swan and a crab,” you confirmed, a puzzled look on your face.

“Well, whatever they are, they’re far out,” Jeanne designated, getting nods of agreement. After another second of staring, she grabbed it back up and felt inside, pulling out the record sleeve she had carefully placed inside after removing the record. She set this thin piece of paper down on top of the cover for the three of you to look at. It consisted of one large picture of the band posing on the front side and multiple smaller pictures of them performing on the back. You all had (well, at least Jeanne and you) seen pictures of Queen before. But something about their unique image and to be honest, stunningly good looks captured your eye. Staring at the pictures you didn’t notice Jeanne squinting her eyes trying to remember something. She reached for the album cover, letting the record sleeve slide off it onto the floor, but your eyes didn’t move except to flick between the different pictures of the performances, paying special mind to the boy holding the bass guitar.

“Here they are!” Jeanne exclaimed and flipped over the record sleeve, receiving a small glare from you that she didn’t notice, “I remembered Freddie Mercury’s name of course, and Mr. Taylor, but the last names of the other two escaped me.” She pointed at each one as she went on, to clarify for you and your mom, “This is Freddie Mercury, he’s the lead singer. This one’s Brian May, the guitarist. This guy is John Deacon, the bassist. And last but not least, this hottie is Roger Taylor, the drummer,” she said with a smile and look of appreciation. You had to admit that Roger was quite handsome, beautiful really, as were Brian and Freddie, but there was something about that bassist, something that caught your attention and wouldn’t let it go. Just like my John had, you supposed, your mind racing back from one John to the other, to the boy you hadn’t heard back from yet.

That was remedied the next day, when Jeanne came traipsing in the front door, swaying, and saying in a sing-song voice, “y/n! Look what I found, a nameless letter made out to you!”

You walked out of your room to hear her better and gasped when you saw what she had. The two of you opened the letter right there in the entrance way and quickly read it over.

“Ooo, this John of yours seems like a real gentleman. I didn’t know it was actually possible to have such proper grammar,” Jeanne said in an austere voice.

“He’s not my John,” you replied, rolling your eyes, despite what you had thought to yourself last night. “Must be an English thing.”

“Do you think calling you ‘love’ and signing it ‘ever yours’ is an English thing too?” Jeanne retorted, raising her eyebrows and smirking.

“Actually, yeah, I’m sure it is. Anyway, onto a more important topic, what do I say back?”

“Go grab a couple pieces of paper and we’ll get started,” Jeanne said, grabbing the letter and moving to sit at the table in your kitchen. You rushed into your room and got the paper as well as three pens and four pencils.

“You’re really prepared,” Jeanne noticed, seeing all that was in your arms. You smiled sheepishly and sat down in the seat next to her.

“How should I start it?”

“Probably with his name, and then go from there,” she answered, teasing you for your own good. After writing your nickname for him when you were younger, like he did, you answered his questions and then finally asked him some of your own. Finally, you proposed meeting. That was the most difficult part.

Dear Johnny,

To answer your question, I’m doing good. I graduated from UW with a degree in Communication, and I’m currently enrolled in their graduate studies program for the same. I hope to be a professor someday, so yes, I still love teaching. That is actually why I will be going to Europe. I’m spending the summer teaching English in Tournai, Belgium, if you’ve ever been there.

What about you? Did you enjoy Chelsea College and engineering? Are you an engineer now? Speaking of being amazed, the way you understood all of that technical stuff is pretty incredible too. What led you to spend so much time in the rest of Europe? Is it work?

I was thinking, that since I’ll be pretty close to London while I’m in Tournai, we could meet in person. As kids, that never seemed possible with me in Belleview, but it would be much easier now. Let me know what you think.

Very Truly Yours,

        y/n
