Ugh. You won't believe this. I'm sorry to bug you, but I just needed to vent.
I saw some idiot on twitter saying that when E met Priscilla he had an eleven year old girl living with him in Germany. They mentioned Scotty Moore said that in his book so I looked it up. What he said was at the time E met Cilla, he had an "even younger German girl" (his words) living in the house with his father and grandmother. Except...well, I can't find any proof of this; thereâs no evidence nor mention of this girl (or how old she was) anywhere else in the book nor in any other books written about him. No proof he had anyone else like that living with him in Germany.
So I donât think that claim is true. Where do people come up with this stuff anyway? How do you not get into an argument with these idiots? Because it's super annoying.
ugh, believe it or not, baby, im not surprised at all. but you could never bug me !!! đ sorry it took me so long to answer this, but rest assured i haven't calmed down about this any since you first sent it đ
a couple notesâ honestly, i'm inclined to believe scotty. NOT TWITTER to clarify lol.. eleven seems young for him even if you are looking to view e through the most unflattering light possible đŹ but it seems likely to me that he had another teenage girl maybe not uh. officially on the lease or anything but staying over most nights ! more than ONE even sounds plausible.. we all know that someone didn't like his bed cold.!
people who claim to hate elvis sure spend an awful lot of time reviling him on the internet, especially by regurgitating half-remembered anecdotal evidence without citing their sources. đ on the other hand, it's also easy to fall into the trap of too-faithful elvis historian; by that i mean that the fact that so much of his life is documented sometimes makes us complacent in our belief that if it can't be verified by multiple primary sources that it must not have happened. but we can't always say, and getting too involved as if the historical accuracy of one particular proposed event is the end-all be-all of elvis fandom can get exhausting.!
i wouldn't be surprised to find out either way, that this was or wasn't true. but you're free to make up your own mind, and if it distresses you, then fwiw i think you Totally have a leg to stand on affirming it never happened, like you said !! ultimately, it doesn't have much bearing on right now- if you like elvis, this vague and nebulous criticism probably isn't the thing that'll make you stop liking elvis, and if you hate elvis, you're probably determined to keep doing that regardless.
regarding the twitdiots- while looking into this claim i found a lady on there who legitimately believed that agent elvis tells the true story of how e was experimented on and mind controlled into drug abuse by the government.. like she said That with her whooole chest. so i don't put much stock in public opinion over there đđđ
i want to fight those people extremely often (they're not just on twitter, either- it seems to have died down a little praise GOD but especially in early days after the movie there was a wave of ppl on here who would put their elvis hate in the main tags. WHICH DROVE ME BATTY), but i come from the "don't feed the trolls" era of fandom. as much as id like to rip 'em a new one when they rehash the same two issues over and over and OVER again ad nauseum, i content myself with the fact that they're living a pathetic existence in which they actively choose to fill their life with something they dislike for... no discernable reason.?
no one who spends their time bringing up a dead celebrity at all opportunities just to bash them is actually open to a discussion. and i do think there is a discussion to be had- his life was certainly very troubled, and i think there are a lot of nuanced issues that benefit from being spoken about openly !!!
but i like to debate bc i like to WIN- so jackasses tend to be a waste of my time đ

its not like i get to choose who i love
Peter was sitting upside-down on a chair, his legs propped up against the bookshelf, and his head hanging off the end. His phone was in hand, earbuds in as he listened to music as he scrolled.Â
Tony sighed before entering his room, sending a smile towards him as he glanced up, taking one earbud out.Â
âHey, Tony,â he said absently, shifting and taking his other earbud out. âWhatâs going on?â
âJust needed to clarify something.â
Peter arched an eyebrow, his heart skipping a beat.Â
âOh?â he prompted, setting his phone and earbuds on the chair and walking over to Tony, who was standing in the middle of his room.Â
âYeahâŠâ he trailed off, seemingly searching for the words. Peter furrowed his brow, and then slowly, realization dawned on him.
âYou want to know if Iâm gay,â he said slowly, his eyes searching Tony. He winced internally at the raw fear that passed through his eyes.Â
âYeah,â he finally said after a pause that seemed to suffocate Peter.Â
âWell, I am,â he said bluntly. âAndâŠâ his breath hitched. âAnd I hope that youâre okay with that. I can crash at Nedâs. Get a job. I donât have to stay-â
He was cut off by Tony smothering him in a hug, and he realized his eyes were prickling with tears.Â
âI donât care,â Tony muttered. âAnd I donât want you ever thinking that I would kick you out. Please, never think that. Hell, it would be hypocritical of me to judge you for being gay. Homophobiaâs a load of bullshit, anyway. Canât believe all that shit people say. Theyâre all idiots, anyway.â
There was a pause of silence, and the two broke apart.Â
âWait, hypocritical? I thought you liked girls? Being with your whole past and everything?â
Tony chuckled. âKid, Iâve been with girls, guys, and everyone in between.â
âChrist, Tony, I donât need to hear about your sex life,â Peter muttered, running a hand under his eyes. His eyes met Tonyâs, and his gut twisted at the relief in them. Did she really think he would kick him out for being gay?Â
âSorry,â he said unapologetically. âBut yeah, Iâm bisexual. Hell, I probably tried to have sex with Rhodey while drunk out of my mind.â
Peter wrinkled his nose, sitting down on the bed. His heart was pounding, and he was trying so hard to not let his emotions run wild. He wanted to sob in relief, cling to Tony and thank him for everything, but he held back, not realizing his breathing was becoming short and erratic, his nails digging into the soft skin of his hands.Â
âPeter? Honey, I need you to breathe for me.âÂ
He heard Tony speaking, but it was from a distance, and he felt like she was suffocating, and god, when did it get so hot? And why couldnât he breathe? His hands clawed at his shirt, trying to get it off. The fabric was suffocating, and his vision was swimming, and -Â
Tony was hugging him.Â
He pressed the side of his head to his chest, taking in exaggerated breaths.Â
âCome on, honey, breathe with me. In, out. In, out. There we go,â he said softly, his hand tangling in his hair. He made soft shushing noises as Peter struggled to catch his breath.
âHey,â Tony whispered. âI promise itâs okay.â

[A picture of Peter curled up with Natasha. Peter is wearing an oversized sweatshirt, with MIT on the sleeve, the rest of his body obscured by a fuzzy black blanket. Natasha is sitting cross-legged on the couch, perfectly content with the teenager lying on her - Peterâs head resting on Natashaâs lap, his body curled up. One of Natashaâs hands is resting in Peterâs hair, the other holding her phone. Both look peaceful and happy, one of the few moments that the world gets to see of a Natasha Romanoff with her guard completely down.]
 Family bonding time for the two spiders. Nothing but love for them.
