Popping on here properly for the first time in months? in the midst of finishing off my dissertation and being in the final stretch of this whole thing. God, I'm sorry for abandoning you all. But I will be back to you all very soon and pay you all back for putting up with my absence 💗

But yes anyways popping on here just to say I'm super excited for Lizzie's new project 'His Three Daughters' I cannot wait to see it once it releases and cannot wait to inevitably add her character Christina to the list of characters I'll be writing for

saw this somewhere sooooo

Who from your mutuals would be your Derry girls group? (James, Orla, Claire, Erin and Michelle)

-💛

(I'm back as an emoji )

Hello 💛anon!

I've been staring at this ask tryna figure it out since you sent it...because I literally just can't figure it out if I'm going personality wise so with that I'm just gonna pick mutuals and somewhat randomly assign them

James - @cookiesimpt came into my head right away for James because at times at least when it comes to jokes about height or whatever else it does seem like she's on the receiving end of them quite a bit.

Orla - The kinda whimsical and unpredictable attitude of Orla just kinda reminds me of @fruitytrashpanda19

Claire - As for Claire and how focused she is when it comes to her work and what not I can't help but picture @thought-of-you-and-me she's just a hard worker

Erin - The only one I could possibly think for this is @8bitscarlet by being passionate, and ambitious and how Erin can be quite sarcastic at times, which we all know by now 8Bit loves sarcasm.

Michelle - This one...I literally have no reason for this choice. When I first saw this all I could think of was @vancityfire13 but I literally have no idea why. Maybe it's the slightly chaotic aura/energy from both Michelle & Jo that sold me on this decision...but that's all I got

She stole his headband… A Tye and Asami doodle… aka HEADBAND HIJINKS… this was a fun idea in my head, though, I couldn’t quite get the expressions to go right and it was honestly turning into a nightmare… so I gave up. #renewyoungjustice #saveearth16 Tumblr: #yjwhatif #keepbingingyj #spreadtheword #teamheadbands #therunaways #asamikoizumi #yj #tyelongshadow #dontrepost #fandom #doodle #yj #youngjusticefanart #art #illustration #youngjustice #digitalillustration #characterillustration #digitalart #dccomics #artistsoninstagram #dc #fanart #burtonsdoodles https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDfDl6OEN0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔥 Celebrating International Women's day with some incredible women in music.. 🙌 Here's Debbie Harry of Blondie with Joan Jett and Lita Ford of the Runaways in 1977 photographed by Chris Stein. According to Chris, "the rock and roll establishment was firmly male-oriented at the time; Debbie and the Runaways were the first wave of female rockers to pave the road for the more equitable split we now have between male and female musicians".. Hell yes!! ⚡️ Rock on ladies! ⚡️ @blondieofficial @joanjett @litafordofficial @christein @therunawaysofficial ✌️❤️🎶 #internationalwomensday #women #womeninrock #womaninmusic #debbieharry #joanjett #litaford #chrisstein #blondie #therunaways #rockandroll #rockchick #iwd #musichistory #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #musicphotography #style #icon #muse #rockicon #punk #glam #cherrybomb #atomic #rocknroll #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpg8hWbvvRA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

there’s someone behind you…

Cherry Bombs and Neon Angels: The Runaways

Somewhere in Hollywood, sometime in the 1970s, Joan Larkin would change her name to her mother's maiden name "Jett" as her new legality. She took on the name Joan Jett as her professional and stage name all in one, which later cemented her status as a rock n' roll icon. After her first guitar teacher attempted to steer her towards folk songs... she ultimately became fed up with being forced into the Joni Mitchell mold. The utterance of "girls don't play rock'n roll" confirmed her path to go play with the rockers The Blackhearts... but first she would play with allllllll girls.

Over the weekend I scrolled through Netflix one evening looking for an evening movie and quickly found The Runaways, which I saw in theaters back in 2010. It is a raucous adaptation that recounts the ascension and decline of all girl band, The Runaways, before Jett went on to form The Blackhearts with Blackheart Records in the 1980s. So let's go back to 1975 to drool over all the punk DIY t-shirts, glam rock platforms, and full leather jumpsuits that wardrobe miraculously recreated for the band.

They perfectly cast this crew of girls with Kristen Stewart as brash Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning as vulnerable Cherie Currie, Scout Compton as hothead guitarist Lita Ford, Stella Maeve as stoner drummer Sandy West and Arrested Development's Alia Shawkat as bassist Jackie Fox.

To fully achieve the looks, the film crew brought in a legendary wardrobe stylist: Carol Beadle who has worked with countless musical acts from Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Cher, Katy Perry, Kanye West, Marilyn Manson and many more. Immersing herself in the New Wave and Punk scenes of London, NYC and the Netherlands she quickly became a connoisseur of vintage within the music and film industry. 

As she puts it: "The girls didn't live a Brady Bunch life, they listened to Suzi Quatro, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and The Stones. You want that to reflect in what they wear..." Carol Beadle, Glamour 2010

What makes this semi-biopic so good, is the marriage of soundtrack and style. Each being an influence on one another, the group soon fell into their own personalities as bandmates and its highlighted by their wardrobe and character arcs.

To be continued...
