the 7 stages of acceptance. by nakahara chuuya

[no-where-new-hero]

Following the success of @gogandmagog's request for an Emily's "What's in my bag" and @those-things-we-said's suggestion we do a series, I present:

Ilse Burnley: What's in my Bag?

First, the bag. Ilse Burnley the acclaimed woman of the stage would absolutely carry something high end. Maybe not as far as a Birkin, but it would have a Brand that Proclaims Itself. This would have been Teddy's engagement gift instead of a designer dog lol. She would make sure all the paparazzi snap her while she's carrying this. However, Ilse Burnley of Blair Water goes around with a canvas tote, block-printed with "Caterwauling Quadruped" that Emily and Teddy gifted her as a joke, capable of holding everything and the kitchen sink. The outside of the tote bag would be decorated with pronoun pins and other provocative slogans; the fancy Brand Bag would have maybe one charm hanging from the handle.

In both bags, she'd always carry her essentials: phone, wallet, keys, makeup. This is all going in willy-nilly, though; no discrete bags or cases for her, so the wallet will have a smear of eyeliner on it, and the phone screen will be scratched by her keys. Ilse strikes me as an Android girl; she'd be fiercely anti-Apple. Wallet (made of vegan leather) would contain wads of cash, credit cards, and bus passes; a driver's license that she uses only because she gets carded buying alcohol but not because she actually drives (she's a passenger princess and public transport pro); member cards at all the stores because she loves herself a discount; a photograph of Perry with his faced carved out of it (but that's only because she keeps his face in a locket charm bracelet). She also has a recycled Blue-Q coin purse that says "Safe Sex" just to horrify the New Moon aunts (she keeps condoms in it. For herself, mostly, but she has been known to leave one or two in public bathrooms for those in need). Finally, makeup wise: intensely scented roller perfume for her wrists and neck, chapstick (cherry flavored--iykyk), eyeliner and mascara for quick touchups, and a lipstick tube she almost never opens.

In terms of non-personal items, she'd absolutely carry a play script around with her at all times. One will be whatever project she's currently acting in; the others would be Samuel French editions of her devoted idols (Jen Silverman--she staged The Moors during her time at Shrewsbury), her controversial faves (Caryl Churchill--these copies are angrily annotated), and whoever else is up and coming. She'd keep highlighters in two or three colors in her bag for reading and annotating (her color code is erratic and inconsistent) and of course it has no pencil case.

Other ephemera: postcards half-written and addressed to Emily, Teddy, and Perry from wherever she is; leaves or flowers she picked up in parks that remind her of home; jewelry she had gone out of the house wearing and then decided didn't go with her outfit after all.

This was so fun! Ilse has such a modern flair this really worked for her, I thought! Let me know if you want me to do any more! I slightly want to do Evelyn Blake lol

Lyrics:

When it's love you give

I'll be a man of good faith

Then in love you'll live

I'll make a stand, I won't break

I'll be the rock you can build on, yeah

Be there when you're old

To have and to hold

When there's love inside

I swear I'll always be strong

Then there's a reason why

I'll prove to you, we belong

I'll be the wall that protects you, yeah

From the wind and the rain

From the hurt and pain, yeah, hey!

Let's make it all for one and all for love

Let the one you hold, be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one, it's one for all

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

When it's love you make

I'll be the fire in your night

Then it's love you take

I will defend, I will fight

I'll be there when you need me, yeah

When honor's at stake

This vow I will make, yeah

That is all for one and all for love (it's all for love)

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one, it's one for all (yeah)

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest

'Cause we could stand up to the test

We got everything and more than we had planned

More than the rivers that run the land

We've got it all in our hands

Now, it's all for one and all for love (it's all for love)

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause, when it's all for one it's one for all (it's one for all)

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

When there's someone that you want

When there's someone that you need

Let's make it all, all for one and all for love
