I really didn't like Zahra's reaction to Vex'ahlia's death and how she was presented in episode 4. It just seemed so cold to me, especially since Zahra took an active part in the resurrection ritual in the original stream and it felt so out of character in general.

The series had set them up as old acquaintances and Zahra was clearly angry about the twins' betrayal, but her dynamic with Vex was more of 'bitter ex who got their feelings hurt but there's still a spark there' than outright hatred. This was obviously different to Critical Role, but felt like a good move to make due to time constraints and a different way to approach Vex and Zahra's catty rivalry evolution to flirtatious affection. This felt reinforced by the pair actively protecting each other in episode 3. Yes, they were trading barbs and trying to one up each other, but if Zahra really felt nothing for Vex then she could have easily done nothing and would have had no blame thrown towards her.

Which is why I was shocked by Zahra's reaction to Vex's death was surprise and then.... Nothing. Just annoyance that Vox Machina got to the vestige first. Arguing that Vex was dead and that was it. What??? I expected her role to be reduced, but I still thought there would be some emotional response, some outcry for her fallen friend. Then Zahra doubles down after all that and sets a monster on them, acting more like a villain than an ally, which just gives massive whiplash at the end of the episode when she gives Vex the necklace because obviously this version of Zahra doesn't give a fuck about her.

Vex and Zahra's friendship was so important in the original show, their similar backgrounds made them really connect in a way that was different to Vex's other friendships, because they really saw themselves in each other. They're both survivors who were traumatised by their fathers, knowing that they have to take what they can get because nothing is ever just given to them, but they care deeply for others and are willing to put themselves at risk to protect anyone in danger.

We get no semblance of this in TLoVM and it's reasonable to not get that depth since they have way too much content as it is, but I still expect to see the same characters we all know and love. To make Zahra capable of such callousness while smoothing out Kash's character (who is supposed to be a cynical grumpy asshole) is just frustrating to watch and first time viewers would have no idea why these characters are so loved by the fandom. It really makes no sense to me why Mary or any of the others went in this direction.

Now, I'm not saying that Zahra and Kash's actions shouldn't have been antagonistic. Going after the vestige makes sense and I honestly loved it until episode 4. A better idea would have been to set up the monster fight as an ambush when Zahra and Kash first left the group with the intention to get the vestige from VM rather than try to find it themselves, return to find Vex dead and both try to help bring her back, then realise that the monster was a mistake when they went to leave in an "Ah, we fucked up" moment. This wouldn't have changed much in terms of the events, but it would have made so much more sense to the characters.

All of this is to say that I'm deeply disappointed in how Zahra's characterisation progressed, especially since I was so looking forward to seeing her in the show and before episode 4 I was so happy with what we had.

Back when I was a Librarian, we lived and breathed by the Publisher's Weekly Bestseller List. It was my responsibility to print or photocopy the list every week and update our bestseller's display. (Also to purchase extra copies of particularly popular bestsellers.)

I haven't looked at the list in YEARS. Some of these surprise me:

A new translation of The Iliad made the list?!

Ken Follett is still alive?? (I looked him up, he's only 74.)

Danielle Steel is still alive?? ( I just looked her up, she's only 76 and has been married five(!) times. To be fair, I also looked up Ken Follett, he's only been married twice.)

I see some Christmas-themed books on the list!

I see a Disney manga! (“The Battle for Pumpkin King”)

I know we all love the idea of a Tami & Mickey friendship (bitching about the Gallaghers = A++) but I raise you: Tami & Ian friendship 🥰

Petty Sarcastic King 🤴 + Petty Sarcastic Queen👸🏼, the 2 people who know Lip the best and love him the most. They have a special WhatsApp group just for them dedicated solely to regaling each other with their Lip tales, simultaneously adoring him and absolutely tearing him to shreds in equal measure.

(Plus, they're both vulnerable middle children taken advantage of by adults who are only just starting to come to terms with it. Lip definitely let slip to each about the other without meaning to and after an awkward couple of interactions afterwards, now they're their own support group that no one knows about).

Just... Tami & Ian, secret bffs ❤

(Also, Ian would 100% shell out for a fresh uncontaminated cup of her favourite coffee, just sayin')

Oh, I'm all herefor that, nonnie! Though there's no adoration at first encounter and we don't see them actually interacting much in season 10, we DO have Tami's ”I love Ian” in 10x12, and I don't think there's any reason to doubt her sincerity? Tami might be slightly wary at first – she probably doesn't know much about bipolar disorder and Ian did go to prison for blowing up a van after starting a cult – but once she sees how good he Ian with Freddie and how much of a sweetheart he is (when he's not being a petty sarcastic king), I think she warms right up! Also, Ian is the one of the Gallaghers that has a real interest in the middle-class lifestyle Tami comes from, so I think they might have share a few frames of reference that they others either don't get or don't care about?

Now, there's not a lot in-text to support them being fast friends in season 11, but I'd say it's fairly natural that they might both be busy with their respective partners and lives at that point: Tami with Lip and Freddie in their new house, Ian being somewhat consumed by being married and looking for ways to start his and Mickey's new life? It makes sense to me that they'd maybe wouldn't hang out all that much when they're no longer sharing a kitchen and have lots of other stuff going on. Not for any lack of love, you see, but just.... other priorities.

But! I think there's some excellent potential for them to start hanging out again once Ian and Mickey moves to the West Side! As you say, Ian would totally shell out for her favourite coffee – and in Tami he'd have a friend who enjoys trying all the sweet stuff the West Side has to offer! Coffee shops! Restaurants! Yoga! Maybe even an art gallery at one point!

I mean, Ian wants to do everything with Mickey always because those dumbasses just loves being together that much, but sometimes it's probably nice to go to a new restaurant with someone who's actually excited about it and doesn't need to be bribed into going? So at one point at family dinner at the Gallagher house – which Lip did not actually sell and now they share it with Debbie and Liam while Carl has moved into the Alibi flat, no you will not change my mind on this – Ian mentions this place he's heard about and Tami is immediately interested and they make plans to go and just like that they have regular outings and so much fun!

Talking about Lip would happen a lot, maybe starting with Tami coming to Ian for... well, not advice, but some context about Lip's behavior. Is he alwasy like this? Is it a South Side thing? And yeah, that leads to them starting to trade stories, Ian dragging up stuff from their childhood (both heroic and hilarious) and Tami telling him all about the idiotic and amazing things Lip does now...

Ian sometimes mutters about Mickey but Tami understands instinctively that that's not an invitation for her to trash talk him the same way they do Lip. I just don't think that Ian would be down for anyone else making fun of Mickey (other than Mandy) at this point?

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure that Ian has fully accepted that what happened with Kash and Ned (and at the club) was him being abused and taken advantaged of, so I doubt that's a connection he would be very interested in exploring, even if Lip does mention Tami's experiences to him (mentions them somewhat meaningfully, since Lipcertainly sees the connection). However, I think Tami might latch right onto it, either if Lip lets it slip or if Ian mentions something about his past relationships that has her go oh, yeah, I know what you mean, same thing kind of happened to me. Ian might be defensive at first – no, actually, it wasn't like that at all, this was different – but it might serve as a way for him to slowly approach the reality of what was done to him? Tami would be patient and gentle, since she knows all too well how hard it is to accept that the person you thought truly loved you actually abused you.

So, I don't necessarily think they're there yet, when we leave them at the end of the series, but yeah, there's all sorts of potential for future Ian & Tami BFF:s! (And let's face it, Tami would have NO PROBLEM being secret friends with Ian and Mickey both, and privately having so much fun comparing their wildly divergent accounts of their latest squabble... 😏)

This is High Official Yunny from the 19th dynasty. He had many jobs and responsibilities. Some of his most important roles included, cheif of the Nehs Medjay, "Sa nswT of Kash" (𓇓𓅬𓈖𓎢𓄿𓈙) aka Viceroy of Kash ect. The job of Viceroy was created during the 18th Dynasty with the propose of developing and repairing the relationship between Kemet and the Nehs of Kash, in hopes to stop the fighting. So the Viceroy aka "Son of Pharoah" would usually be of Nehes ethnicity. It made sense for Kemet to raise up a leader in Kash who was familiar with the people in that area and willing to positively deal with Kemet for trading goods. For example during the reign of Djehutimose iii he had a Viceroy with the name of Nehi, which literally translates to "nubian". The Nehsu people in the south were the gatekeepers to all the riches of inner Africa that the Kemetyu would flaunt and fawn over. Yunny has ans inception in the Cairo Museum that read: [Made by the Superintendent of Deserts in the Southern Foreign country, Viceroy in Nubia (Ta-Sety), Chief of Works in the Estate of Amun, Chief of the Madjayu-militia] This inscription validates Official Yunnys' dealings with the Medjay Nehs in Ta seti, who were the "nubians" who defended and protected Kemets' Northern and Southern borders. The copper colored melanated man of the Sun is Native to Earth. The further we go back the closer we reach the nucleus of Pangaea; Alkebulan. That DOES NOT mean our lineage from the Americas is invalidated. I embrace my Cherokee & African Lineage.

REWRITEPARAGRAPH WIP

Here is an update and summary of the works in progress I have currently;

REST IN SILENCE  (Uncompleted, on Ao3)

Harry agrees to an Armistice settlement with Voldemort in which he is collateral. Living together unearths a new and strange tension between them; an obsession that cannot be ignored. All of this, and Harry finds a new threat in Death – and it is hungry.

THE SICK ROSE

It’s a bad day when even the Saviour of the Wizarding world wants you dead.

Draco is accused of killing Charlie Weasley at the Battle of Hogwarts, and as far as the Wizarding world is concerned, he’s a dead man walking.

After finding his parents dead by their own hands, public disgrace and humiliation, Draco finds himself in a dark place.

Desperate for a way out, no matter what form it takes, Draco is saved by a potion in Severus’ journals that promises to change his face and body into anything he desires.

He promises himself that he will enjoy himself a little before he joins his parents, but will the promise of his alter ego ‘Andrew Hope’, and the way that Potter looks at him in his new skin, prove too much?

DIRT

Harry hunts the Horcruxes alone. After breaking into Hogwarts over Summer and viewing the rest of Dumbledore’s memories, Harry is armed with new knowledge about his task and the loyalties of those around him. Memories reveal that Tom Riddle was a brilliant student and capable of great acts of kindness before he sought the create his horcruxes. He learns that Dumbledore had originally planned to save Tom Riddle and his soul pieces but had run out of time to find a solution after becoming cursed. Upon learning this, the Horcrux within Harry is disarmed and reveals its knowledge to Harry – and an affinity for wild magic previously unknown to him.

Now Harry must navigate a Wizarding World at war alone, find the Horcruxes, and wrestle this new magic inside him. The Horcrux within him becomes a reluctant guide. Harry overcomes the various traps and challenges surrounding each of the soul pieces using both his own skill and an innate affinity for Wild magic. Harry must keep himself and the Horcruxes hidden from the Order and Death Eater’s searching for him, both of which are uneasy with Harry’s missing status.

And, Lord Voldemort dreams of the Boy-Who-Lived.

FERAL CHILDREN (Uncompleted, on Ao3)

31st of October, 1981

Infant Harry is blamed for the death of his parents, James and Lily Potter. Out of fear of Harry’s strange magic, the Wizengamot order him to be euthanised. Unable to kill Harry and convinced of his innocence, an Auror spirits him away to the Forbidden Forest where he grows up away from a Wizarding World that thinks Harry Potter is dead.

Ten Years Later

Hagrid, after finding Unicorns maimed and culled, follows footprints he has found deep in the forest. His search is fruitless until he takes a young Draco Malfoy and Ronald Weasley into the Forest for detention. Draco happens upon a small dark-haired boy murmuring to a felled unicorn, a Pan of the wild who runs like a wind through the treetops.

Harry enters into a Wizarding world convinced he is guilty and disgusted by his magic. But Harry isn’t the only Dark creature within the wall of Hogwarts.

ANTITHESIS

‘Our love is a ghost that the others can’t see, It’s a danger.’ – Agnes Obel, Familiar.

After his name is revealed by the Goblet of Fire, Harry is vilified by the those inside Hogwarts, even his teachers. Thus, Harry spends all of his time in books, driven to prove them all wrong – to be better than those who have turned their backs on him. He trains methodically, preparing himself for the Tournament. In doing so, he discovers a new side of Draco Malfoy he’s previously been blinded to. Traded secrets, creeping loyalties, and tight-lipped affection are forces that two boys have a face in a Wizarding World at war.

Maybe there is something to wanting what you cannot have?

DEMIURGE

Having just completed four years of his sentence, Draco Malfoy is once again pulled back into the Ministry.

Why?

Harry – bloody – Potter.

Draco has been sent as a Vampire Liaison to one newly vampiric, and somewhat feral, Boy-Who-Lived. He has been asked to feed Potter, who is starving himself of blood – all while Draco himself is made thirsty by the sub-par blood pills the Ministry had order him to take and a sentence which demands he never drinks from the vein again.

But the boy Draco once knew and hated has changed with his thirst, and not necessarily for the better.

Both men must face a primal temptation, and a new undead reality, all while trying to not tear the other apart.

ANIMAL

After a receiving broken nose and a bruised jaw on the Hogwarts Express, Harry find he can’t control his rage towards one Draco Malfoy. Obsessed by thoughts of revenge and suspicion, Harry stalks Draco through the Hogwarts Halls.

Needing to be near Malfoy overtakes Harry senses and as the pressure inside him builds, so does the risks he takes to get Malfoy alone – to make Malfoy see him.

A story of misplaced desire, denial, and reaping what you sow.

ONESHOTS:

ID EGO SUPEREGO (On Ao3)

Captured by Death Eaters, Harry and Draco must navigate torture at the hands of the Dark Lord - Tom Marvolo Riddle reborn.

Harry reveals a secret that Draco vowed to keep, and Riddle discovers that which Harry has hidden within himself. It's a secret that both Harry and Draco have shared in and which solidifies the bond between them.

Riddle unearths some truths about himself in the same breath - wants and needs he'd long-forgotten.

MADE FOR THE HUNT (On Ao3)

A short piece based on the following tumblr prompt by Cypherparadox:

“Before there was Voldemort, there was Grindelwald, a dark wizard who started a war with the muggles and nomajs. With magic now known to the non magicals, it comes with it the need for secrecy. To put it simply, witches and wizards are being hunted down for experiments and execution. Harry Potter's parents were executed when he was only a baby after the British government found them in possession of magical texts. Instead of killing baby Harry, they placed him in an orphanage. The same orphanage that one Tom Riddle lives in. What follows is enemies to friends to lovers as they try to band together to bring the Wizarding world back together.”

Part seven!! So close to the season 11 premier! I’ve been trying to catch up on my rewatch. This is up to 3x01.

-Fuck, I hate Monica so much. When she finds the squirrel fund I actually have to turn the tv off cause it’s so hard for me to watch her take all that money from those kids.

- idk why they don’t hide the money in a better spot than the kitchen. Idk where they could hide it but everyone goes through that kitchen. Atleast split the money up.

-I don’t like jimmy/Steve until the end of season 2. What he does in the last two episodes with helping Monica and Fiona is really great. I have to say that as a supporting character he does have a good storyline.

-poor Ian!! When he tries to talk to Fiona about jimmys dad and then frank tries to beat him up is so hard to watch. He’s such a forgotten child. He seems so lost after Mickey goes back to juvie too. His storyline is kinda just stilted in season 2. He’s just floundering.

- I love Sheila and Jody. I make no apologies about this. That supporting storyline is also fantastic.

-no matter how many times I watch the early seasons I’ll never understand lips obsession with Karen and how even after she gives birth he still is by her side. She really is a cancer.

-Ned is so creepy. Ian trading in one married guy for another speaks so many volumes while mickeys not around. Rewatching this time I find it fascinating how Ian just tries to find comfort in the men around him to make up for his alienation at home. When Ian first sleeps with ned he asks to stay the night and I don’t blame him. He’s really lonely at home. He has no one to go to since lip is surrounded by his own shit and his siblings are all busy and he doesn’t have Mickey. No wonder he seeks out people to love him. It does make sense that he ends up leaving at the end of season 3. I think there’s a lot of setup for this. It’s not just Mickey I think he’s running from but the seeds of it are started by his isolation at home. Mickey is just the catalyst event.

-what I do find interesting is how ready he was to accept gifts from kash but when Ned offers him a gift he turns it down.

-I’ll never tire of Ian saying he sortve has a boyfriend to Ned even though the last time Ian spoke to Mickey (that we know of) is when Mickey is telling him that he’s just a warm mouth to him. Thats fucking dedication. I’d love to read a fanfic bridging these two events. And I love how often Ian asks if Mandy’s has visited Mickey in juvie.

-I really hate that Fiona and Mandy don’t like each other. Fiona is such a momma bear. This could’ve been so much better than it was. But I also get that Mandy doesn’t have a lot of girls like Fiona in her life. I think on some level Mandy feels threatened by Fiona because she is such a momma bear and Mandy doesn’t know how to respond to that.

Something to cheer you up--do you have any tiny detail headcanons about Kash and Enzo? <3

Omg thank you so much for this!!! 🥺🥺 You're the sweetest, seriously. I'll try to make a list of random hcs for my babies!

Enzo is almost physically unable to kill any kind of animal (birds, insects...). He'd feel horrible if he had to hunt like Kash does sometimes.

Kashmir hoards shiny objects. She sometimes steals them or trades them to other cats, and then she brings them to her den, where she hides it all.

On a similar note: Kash takes a lot of pride in her den. She loves how it looks. It's cozy, a bit mysterious and warm.

Lorenzo eats A LOT. The boy loves some good food.

Despite being twins (well, littermates), Enzo is taller than Kash: he's 187cm (6'1) and she's 165cm (5'5). This is due to the fact that Kash, having to grow up in the streets on her own, spent most of her kittenhood almost starved, which lead to a weaker development. However, she's quite athletic and knows how to take advantage of her height.

The piece of jewellery that Kash treasures most dearly is a pearl necklace that Mungo gave her when they met.

Kash has a cockney accent but hides it most of the time. It comes out when she's angry.

When he's upset, Enzo stutters.

Kashmir has a long and complicated grooming routing, which she learned from Bombalurina.

Kash arrived at the Junkyard at the age of 17 (in human age) and Enzo finds her when they're both 21, their current age.

Thank you so much for this ask!!! 🥺💜

A/N: Hey guys! I have been working on starting this new story for a while and I am so excited to finally be posting it. Please let me know what you guys think and I hope you all like it!

What do you think of this one Darlings?” Freddie spun in the store mirror, admiring his reflection as he modeled an old off-white leather jacket. 

“Fred, it’s falling apart at the seams,” Roger stared at his roommate in disbelief. “There’s no way we can sell that as it is and there’s no way you can wear that onstage without it literally falling off. Where did you even find that thing?” 

Freddie Bulsara huffed and turned around to face the two other owners of the Rag Trade, Roger Taylor and Josie Crowley, still modeling the falling apart jacket that he dubbed as ‘vintage’. “I have my ways Rog.” 

Josie perched herself up on the counter, letting her legs hang over the side. ‘Let me guess, Kash?”

Freddie shrugged off the jacket and handed it to the redhead. “It doesn’t matter how it was discovered, it just needs a little bit of Josie Crowley magic. I’ve seen you bring garments in worse shape than this one back to life, maybe we have another miracle on our hands.” 

Josie sighed and took a closer look at the jacket, running her fingers over the cream colored fake leather to assess the damage. There were some holes on the front and the arms and the zipper was falling off at the bottom, but those could be taken care of with some patchwork and embroidery. The seams were also close to falling apart in some places, but there wasn’t anything that could deem the jacket completely unsalvageable. In fact, it was the right amount of beat up that she could use it for another design she had already been planning out for Freddie.

“I don’t think we need a miracle here,” She shrugged, hopping off the counter and digging out her sketchbook from her bag. “Gimme a few days and I can give you a brand new jacket. I already have some ideas in mind.” 

Before Freddie or Roger could give either of their input on the jacket, Roger’s phone went off over the stall’s speaker and cut off the music that was playing from Roger’s YouTube app. The blonde leapt up from his place on the couch and disappeared into Josie’s workshop in the back of the stall. The other two shop owners shrugged it off and went back to comparing the design Josie had been sketching, to the jacket’s current worn out state. They started going over details that Freddie wanted when Roger popped out from the back. 

“Fred, can you come back here? It’s about the band.” He called back. Freddie got up from his place on the couch next to Josie and disappeared into the tiny backroom where Roger was. 

Josie manned the register while her roommates hid in the back to take what she guessed to be a very important phone call. It was a slow day all around in Kensington Market, so the Rag Trade didn’t get as much foot traffic as it usually did.  Josie managed to keep herself busy by getting to work with when she heard a wooden clacking noise coming from the stall’s entrance. She pulled her attention away from her work to find that she had a new customer, but instead of browsing around the racks of new and old clothes he looked like he was looking for something specific.

Josie Crowley wasn’t a girl to get easily flustered by a boy, but this guy was about to make an exception. He was tall, really tall for starters. His bright blue NASA jacket was too short for his arms, leaving his wrists exposed to the cold. Loose deep brown framed his long face and brought out the different shades of hazel in his eyes. She studied the details of his face, from how his lips were slightly parted to how the tip of his nose was a rush of pink from the cool fall air, to how his hair fell in front of his eyes. 

“Hey,” She regained her composure to greet her potential client. “How can I help you?” 

“Yea.” The stranger pulled out a light denim jacket, running his thumb on the worn out seams. “I think you may be just the girl I’m looking for.” 

Josie studied the jacket in his hands. It wasn’t in as bad shape as Freddie’s but it looked like it could use some love and care. “Ye-yeah sure, I think?” She reached out for the jacket, which the stranger handed to her. She analyzed the denim and found that it was in better condition than she first thought. “Nice jacket, a little worn but overall in good condition. What do you need done with it?” 

“Well I found it in my parent’s attic and my dad said I could take it.” As he explained how he found the jacket, Josie noticed that his cheeks were turning from a light pink to a flushed red. “It fits for the most part but the sleeves are too short. One of my friends suggested that I come to you to get them lengthened.”

Josie examined the sleeves, “Yea I can totally do that. I would have to get some measurements really quick to make sure they don’t end up too long or too short. Do you mind?” Josie gestured towards the stranger before fishing around in her bag to find her measuring tape. 

The stranger nodded and put down his bag. Josie placed the measuring tape at the top of his shoulders and took his measurements for both arms, making notes on a blank sheet in her notebook for later. 

They tried to make some small talk as she finished up the measurements. “So is there anything else you want done to the jacket besides getting the sleeves lengthened? Maybe even put some of your own customization into it instead of just being a repair?”

“Yea that would be nice.” He laughed. “What do you do for that?” 

“Mostly embroidery and patches for denim jackets, but I can do whatever you would like.” She replied, her mind already spinning with ideas. 

“Embroidery and patches sound really interesting.” The stranger smiled at her. 

“Yea! I can put on anything you want on it.” She continued making notes. 

“If you’d like, I can give you my number so if there’s anything else you want done you can just let me know?” She suggested before quickly backtracking. “Unless you think that’s too forward.”

Space boy laughed and pulled his phone out of his pocket. “No of course we should swap numbers. I’d love to stay in touch.” He handed his phone over for her to add her number to his contacts. 

“I’ll text you later when I get home.” He offered. “It was really nice to meet you today….”

“Josie.” She reached out her hand. “Josie Crowley.” 

The stranger reached out and took her hand. “Brian May. It was very nice to meet you Josie.” 

“It was nice to meet you too, Brian” Josie felt heat was over her face as she watched Brian walk out of the stall, She kept running her thumbs up and down the worn seams of Brian’s 

Unknown Number: Hey, thanks for your help today! I hope this will be an easier way to keep in touch. -Bri

Josie grinned at her screen but was suddenly interrupted by both Roger and Freddie bursting out of the back room, their faces lit up with excitement. 

“Jo! You’ll never guess what just happened!” Roger called out, making the redhead jolt up and juggle her phone in her hands.

“Fucking hell Roger,” She gasped, clutching her phone to her chest. “What? You scared the daylights out of me.” 

“Oh don’t be so dramatic darling.” Freddie rolled his eyes. “We have incredible news.” 

Josie put her phone down on the counter, “What’s up?”

“We got a gig!” Roger exclaimed before Freddie could even open his mouth. 

There was a long pause between the three of them. Freddie and Roger’s band, Queen, had been doing gigs around the London pub scene for the past couple months so it wasn’t huge news anymore whenever they got a gig somewhere. So Josie stood staring at her roommates with a confused look on her face. 

“What kind of gig?” She broke the silence. “You usually don’t get this excited over one Rog.”

Freddie laughed. “Jo this isn’t any old pub show. This is a legitimate performance! We just heard that we are going to be part of a rising musicians showcase at Royal Albert Hall next month. I sent them our demo last week and they want us to perform!” Josie could tell that Freddie was really excited about this, so she had no choice but to join in on the excitement. 

“That’s awesome!” She knew how hard they have been working to take their band to a more serious level, even if she hadn’t been able to make it to one of their shows yet or have even met the other members of the band. “Have you told the other’s yet? Or did they get a call too?” 

Roger shook his head. “Not yet, we want to ask you something before we tell them.”

Josie cocked her head to the side out of confusion, she wasn’t part of the band so what would they have to ask her before talking to their bandmates? 

“We want you as our band stylist.” Freddie asked. Josie felt her eyes widen and her heart started to pound. She knew that they wouldn’t be able to pay her much or at all since they were barely making it by at Rag Trade as it is, but she knew this would be a huge next step for both them and herself if the band took off. 

“I know you hang out with us enough so if you don’t want to we get it.” Roger chirped in, pulling Josie out of her thought process, “But you’re really talented with clothes and we need to look our best for this show so-”

“I’ll do it.” Josie cut him off. “I’m in. I don’t care about money or anything like that. If you want me and the others are cool with it, I’m in.”

Both Freddie and Roger immediately lit up in excitement.

“But I do have one question though,” She added on. “How do you guys exactly expect me to style two guys I haven’t met yet? I can’t style someone that I don’t know, let alone have ever even seen.”

Freddie waived her off. “Don’t worry about that darling. I already alerted them of you joining our team as it was a given that you would say yes. They’ll be meeting with you in a few days since both of them have such busy lives.”

“You can use clothes from Rag Trade!” Roger piped up. “We got some clothes in the back we haven’t put out on the floor yet. We can set aside whatever you pick out to keep for the band.”

Josie blushed from Roger’s offer. “That is very thoughtful of you Rog. I swear that you guys get total input into whatever you wear. The last thing I want is for you to go onstage in something you aren’t comfortable wearing.” 

“You don’t have to worry about that Jo,” Roger reassured her. “We know whatever you do is going to be amazing.” 

Josie smiled at Roger’s comment. “Thanks guys, I promise I won’t let you down.” 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the Rag Trade closed down for the night, Josie and the guys made their way back to the small flat the three of them shared a few blocks over. They were immediately greeted by Freddie’s two cats, Miko and Delilah and Josie’s cat, Chip. Freddie and Roger hung out in the flat’s common area while Josie retreated to her room for the night. She changed out of her street clothes into a comfortable oversized t-shirt and shorts before scrubbing off her makeup for the day and climbing into her bed. 

Josie pulled out her laptop and started scrolling through Pinterest for ideas not only for Freddie and Brian’s tasks for her, but to also get some tips and inspiration for Queen’s new stagewear, primarily focusing on what she would pick for Freddie and Roger. She was meeting the other members of the band tomorrow to get their measurements and start planning their stagewear for some upcoming shows.

 She was soon distracted by Freddie’s newest kitten, Miko, jumping on top of her sketch and demanding attention. He paced around her legs and meowing insistently at the designer until she gave in and replaced the jacket in her lap with the tortoise-shell colored kitten, scratching right behind his ears. 

“You’re just like your Daddy, aren’t you?” She laughed. “You know just how to get my attention.” 

The kitten purred in content, kneading on her blanket covered legs. Watching Miko knead her lap, Josie reached for her phone and sent a photo to her roommates in the next room. 

TO: Oh My God They Were Roommates👀👀

Josie: I have been graced with Miko’s presence, If you need me I will be in my room the rest of the night with him 

Freddie: Give back my son

Josie: Never. He’s mine now

Freddie: Traitors, both of you. If you’re taking Miko then I’m taking Chip in return

Josie: Leave Chip out of this, he’s innocent!

Roggie: You two are weird

Freddie: Says the one who’s obsessed with his car

Before Josie could respond to her roommates, she saw a notification from her newest client- Brian. 

“Hey it’s Brian. Thank you so much for helping me out today on such a short notice!”

She grinned and immediately switched over to his messages, ignoring the budding argument between her roommates that was going on over text. 

Josie: Hey! You’re totally welcome. I should have your jacket all fixed up in the next week or so, feel free to swing by next week and it should be done!

Brian: Thanks! Please let me know whenever you finish it, but there’s no rush! My band just got called about a huge gig so I’ve been a bit preoccupied. 

Josie: Oooooooh you’re in a band? What do you play?

Brian: Yea, I play guitar. What about you, do you play any instruments?

Josie: That’s so cool! Unfortunately my talents are more in the design world than the musical world. I do want to learn how to play the guitar someday though

Brian: Well maybe I can teach you sometime

Josie: I would like that. Are you busy this week?

Brian: Not too busy, my band does have a gig next week so I have been held up with rehearsals whenever I’m not busy with my work. It’s nothing big, just a pub by Imperial College. What about you?

Josie: I just got a new long term project to work on so I’m still in the early stages of working on that. And I’m looking at your jacket too for what to do for embroidery or customization besides lengthening the sleeves. Do you have any interests or hobbies that could help?

Brian: Well outside of playing the guitar, I’ve actually been interested in space and astrophysics. I have been actually working part time on getting my PhD in Astrophysics. 

Josie mentally exited out of the conversation for a moment and turned back to her . She immediately went to her profile and made a new board that she named “Ideas for Brian”, noting that he really likes space and to look for space themed embroidery prints. She had a few ideas in mind now that she knew for sure that he had a strong interest in space. Josie also made a mental note to see if there was any way that she could combine both space and music into one design to make it special just for him. 

“Note: see if Bri has photos of guitar he would like used.” She muttered under her breath as she typed out the note before jumping back into the conversation with Brian. 

Josie: Oh wow that’s so cool! I had a feeling that you were into space from your jacket you wore today. And that has to be rough working and finishing a PhD AND being in a band

Brian: Yea I guess it was kinda obvious. Luckily we are on a short holiday right now so I can catch my breath and focus on my music. 

Josie: I know how that feels, my last year at uni I thought I was going to break down from burnout by the end. 

Brian: What did you study?

Josie: I double majored in apparel design and finance. 

Brian: That’s cool, how did you get into two completely different subjects like that?

Josie: It’s a long story, remind me and I’ll tell you about it sometime. I have an early shift at Rag Trade tomorrow and need to get to bed soon. 

Brian: Yea, I’m about to head to bed too. Goodnight Josie

Josie: Goodnight Brian, talk tomorrow?

Brian: I look forward to it :)

Josie shifted on her bed in a way that disturbed Miko from his nap in her lap. The kitten meowed at Josie before leaping off her bed and made his way out of her room. She noticed that the light in the common room was now out, so she guessed that Freddie and Roger were both asleep, or at least in their own rooms. She placed her phone on the nightstand right next and plugged it in to charge for the night. As she drifted off to sleep, her mind kept drifting towards the curly haired guitarist she had only met a few hours before. 

~~~~~~~~~

Josie spent the next couple days working on Brian’s jacket and focusing on what she was going to do with Freddie and Roger’s band as their new stylist. Unfortunately, she had been so busy with her roommates and her own work that she hadn’t been able to meet the rest of the band. Today, she was finally able to meet the remaining members of Queen. 

John, their bassist, was the first of the two to arrive. They were holed up in Josie’s back corner of the store that she used as her spot to meet up with clients. In the first few minutes of their meeting, Josie dubbed John as her favorite member. He was a lot more calm and subdued than Freddie and Roger, which was a relieving change. She learned he was still a student, which is why they haven’t met yet since John was busy with his classes whenever he wasn’t rehearsing or performing with Queen. Josie could barely juggle working here with being in school before she graduated, so she gave him props for going after both the band and an honors electrical engineering degree. 

She had her tape measure slung over her shoulder as she leafed through a rack of clothes she picked out for the bassist.  “What do you think of this?” She asked, holding up a black silky button down shirt. The chest was covered in small white pearl-like stars to add detail. “Freddie picked this one out, though it would look good for one of your upcoming shows.” 

John shrugged, holding the material in his hands. “I don’t know. Are you sure it isn’t too flashy for the band?”

The designer laughed. “You’re in a band with Freddie. He would go onstage in red and white booty shorts and suspenders and nothing else if he could so I wouldn’t worry about you looking too flashy.”

Her comment warranted a small laugh from John. “Yea, I don’t really put that past him. But I really do like that shirt.”

Josie smiled and put it on the rack closest to her that she had labeled “Queen Wardrobe.” She was happy that John was warming up to her and her abilities as a stylist. She had heard from Freddie that the kid would go up on stage in plain jeans and a t-shirt if the frontman would let him. Unfortunately a band that had both Freddie Bulsara and Roger Taylor would never allow such a thing so they always had the bassist borrow clothes from one of the two.  She made it her goal to find anything that would help John come out of his shell and stop having to borrow appropriate stagewear from his bandmates, but she still wanted him to be comfortable and have a say in what he wore. 

Josie and John ended up deciding on three shirts, a pair of black flare jeans, and a pair of white skinny jeans that were also suggested by Freddie. Josie’s favorite thing that they found was a pair of tan platform boots that John was immediately drawn towards when she first pulled them out. She wrapped the clothes hangers together with a rubber band and tagged them “Deaky” to keep with the nickname Freddie had given him and so she would know they were picked for John. She already did the same for Freddie and Roger and was planning to do the same for their guitarist. 

As Josie was setting up for her next client, she heard a familiar clacking enter the shop. She turned to see who it was as Freddie greeted them and she immediately froze in place. 

It was Brian.

“Brian! I am so glad you were able to make it darling.” The singer exclaimed, abandoning his post at the counter. Brian still hadn’t noticed Josie yet, even though the Rag Trade wasn’t that big of a shop she was still in the back semi-hidden behind the varying racks of clothes. 

“You told me to meet you here for the band.” He answered. “Something about us bri new stage clothes?” 

Josie watched as Freddie led him back to her station, she saw the gears turning in Brian’s head as they made their way to the back of the shop. When Brian’s eyes finally laid eyes on the new stylist, he froze in place and his eyes went wide in surprise. 

“Brian, I would like to introduce you to Queen’s official stylist, the one and only Josephine Crowley.”

“Tales of The Pink Pwussy”

We knew starting an at home strip club wouldn’t be easy but I never expected the shit we’ve been through the last couple of days.I swear VH1 needs to give us a reality show. You would never know that I was a virgin up until a couple of days ago unless I told you. When I tell you I’ve ran the miles up on this pwussy just tryna get this place up and running bitch i might need to trade it in for a new one. This shit cost so much more than we budgeted for. Can you believe that ONE sign out front cost $1000!? The first night we opened I left Mari on the deck stripping while i turned a trick in the house and she must’ve been slipped something because next thing i knew the bitch was dead! but, thankfully we were able to resuscitate that hoe. The next night we attempted to host a house warming. I called myself tryna get some action ($$) from this ol’ suga daddy nigga named Pretty Ricky but before I knew it he was somewhere fucking the young boy Duane Talla! I couldn’t believe it there is no way hes finer than me tf. The final straw was tonight. Mari and I wanted to show ya’ll some of the new pole tricks we’ve learned earlier but before i knew it neither one of us could move and our whole world went black.I dont know whats going on have we been drugged? I guess we gon need  to hire some of those top flight security niggas like Day Day and Craig. I’m telling you these first few days have been beyond me but shit we can get knocked down nine times and we’d still get up a tenth. -Kash
