Okay okay the get down fandom is dead. I know. But listen, when mylene may have lost basically everything and blames herself for her father’s death, she sings she “may have nothing at all”, but the “voice” that “lifts her up again” and inspires her return to music despite it all, is a song that she writes together with drag queens and queers and just strange people not accepted for some reason. And we know that the bi lighting in toy box was intentional on some of the creator’s part, so mylene isn’t just being supported by drag queens and queers when she needs it, she’s finding her community. Her blood family, at least some of them, can’t give her the love she deserves, so she’s finding other people like her and they’re welcoming her with open arms. She’s building a new family where she can truly be herself. She’s learning she can prioritize herself as number one. Because she deserves it. And these people love her fully! They support her voice! Her unique beautiful lovable voice! No, seriously, listen—

Try Again
*A baz lurhmann cinematic universe crossover fic
Paring: Mylene Cruz/AB!Elvis
“You Doin’ okay EP?”
The young girl asked him. He asked her to slow dance a moment ago, but he seemed uncharacteristically stiff. We’re talking about Elvis the pelvis here. She’s seen the man roll around on stage howling to pools of screaming fans. But here she was. Him holding onto her tightly, with his eyes a little droopy, shivering with nerves was not what she expected to say the least.
“Why wouldn’t I be, baby?”
He gave Mylene a classic charming Elvis smile.
“Look at yourself. You’re shaking.”
He gets out a shy laugh.
“It looks like it”
He looks down like a shy little boy.
“It must be you, MyMy. You makin me nervous and all.”
MyMy. That was the nickname he gave her. He’d whistle it when she’d walk onto the stage for rehearsals. “My oh my there’s MyMy.”
He was a bit different here shaking in front of her than shaking in front of a huge crowd every night.
She didn’t know how he did it. He was “on “ all the time. Mylene truly wondered if the man ever really slept at all. She made sure to pray for him every night before she went to bed.
“I’m sorry EP.”
She offers
“Don’t be sorry, doll.”
She clicks her teeth.
“You can call me all those cute little pet names but you can’t even dance with me.”
“Stay here won’t you.” He had an easy smile on his face but he wasn’t listening to what Mylene was saying.
He winks.
He walks over to Jerry.
“You wanna dance or not EP!”
She calls over to Elvis and his bodyguard.
The jumpsuit wearing man shot her a look and gave an exaggerated frown.
The girl sighed and crossed her arms.
“I’m going up to my room now.”
E rushed over and dashed in front of her.
“Don’t leave me honey.”
He cradled her elbows. His touch was light and tender.
“I’ll stay if we dance the right way okay?”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
He holds her again in a slow dance position. His hands shaking a little less now.
“There you go, EP. Don’t be nervous.”
He blushes and can’t stop giggling like a little kid.
They keep a slow pace but he’s finally dancing with her. He kept asking if she was ok. She always responded yes. But his extra care was endearing to her. It was just like those times when her dad would ask her to dance at their church functions. He wouldn’t let her dance with boys her age.
It was awkward at first, yes, but it made her look at her father in a new light. He didn’t know how to do everything, he was just a man. A man trying his best. That’s exactly how she felt about Elvis Presley at this very moment.

This will happen in my fic. I'm bending MW3 because MW3 didn't happen lmao
Tumblr media
So Soap will get hurt but survives, although he's a bit banged up and will be unconscious for a while
Tumblr media
Of course the whole 141 is by his bedside, taking turns. Usually Ghost and/or Riot take the nights
Tumblr media
Heather goes whenever she can, as she has patients to tend to at base and Soap will be at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, which is 1h30 from Credenhill, where the 2nd SAS Regiment is stationed
Tumblr media
Gabi stays as much as she can, but Laswell has to renew her permit several times, and more than once Riot had to drag her to go have a shower or eat
Tumblr media
Speaking of which, she's one to talk. She had to be literally carried away by Ghost to force her to eat. Once Soap's mother came down from Scotland, her and Mini took turn in nagging Riot. And Ghost.
Tumblr media
Mini (@sofasoap) is quite busy at base, as medical personnel, so she tries to stay with her brother as much as possible, but sometimes she can't. Once Mam MacTavish arrives, Petra manages to give her some free days
Tumblr media
Before setting off to her own mission, Petra (@siilvan) visits Soap as much as she can too. Some days, the floor nurses complain that the room is a circus, with so many people in there, keeping each other company.
It's a great sign of how loved he is
If anyone is wondering where Zhar (@nrdmssgs) or Nikolai are, go read Darker Matters as in my own canon this is happening between chapter 3-4

The Get Down (2016)
Tumblr media
The Get Down is a television series created by Baz Luhrmann and Stephen Adly Guirgis. It premiered on Netflix in 2016 and consists of one season split into two parts. Set in the South Bronx in the late 1970s, the series explores the rise of hip-hop, disco, and punk music against the backdrop of a rapidly changing New York City.
The story follows a group of teenagers navigating the challenges of urban life while pursuing their dreams of music stardom. The main characters include Ezekiel "Zeke" Figuero, a talented poet and aspiring rapper; Mylene Cruz, a determined young singer with ambitions of becoming a disco star; Shaolin Fantastic, a streetwise graffiti artist and DJ; and other members of their diverse community.
The Get Down combines elements of drama, music, and historical fiction to depict the cultural and social dynamics of the era. The series is known for its vibrant visuals, dynamic musical performances, and engaging storytelling. It explores themes such as identity, ambition, love, and the power of art in the face of adversity.
Tumblr media
How does the series use dual-focus narrative as a strategic storytelling tool beyond heteronormative romantic pairings? 
The Get Down employs a dual-focus narrative to delve into multiple layers of its characters' lives and the broader socio-cultural context of 1970s New York City. Beyond heteronormative romantic pairings, the series strategically utilizes this narrative tool to explore themes of identity, ambition, and social change. By intertwining the personal journeys of characters like Ezekiel and Mylene with the larger backdrop of the emerging hip-hop and disco scenes, the show creates a rich tapestry of interconnected stories that reflect the diversity of experiences within the community.
Tumblr media
What are the “inevitable” couplings within the series and how are they accentuated through “cinematic” similarities and contrasts? 
In terms of "inevitable" couplings, the series accentuates various relationships through cinematic similarities and contrasts. For example, the bond between Ezekiel and Shaolin Fantastic is portrayed with dynamic energy and shared passion for music and creativity. Their partnership is contrasted with the more traditional romantic coupling of Mylene and Zeke, highlighting the different forms of love and connection present within the narrative. Through visual motifs, such as parallel editing and juxtaposition of scenes, the series emphasizes the complexity of these relationships and their impact on the characters' lives.
Tumblr media
How does the series use musical numbers within and beyond the narrative world to replicate fairy tale, backstage, or folk musicals?
Musical numbers in The Get Down serve as more than just performances within the narrative world; they replicate elements of fairy tales, backstage dramas, and folk musicals to enhance the storytelling experience. The use of music as a narrative device allows the show to explore themes of dreams, aspirations, and resilience in the face of adversity. Whether it's through elaborate dance sequences or heartfelt musical performances, these moments transport viewers into the characters' inner worlds, providing insight into their hopes, fears, and desires. By blending elements of fantasy and reality, The Get Down creates a unique and immersive musical experience that transcends traditional storytelling conventions.
Tumblr media
Overall, The Get Down was an amazing show that was gone too soon.<3

"See I don't mind most of the costumes. (Although Mylene looks weird.) "
Honestly, when I looked at Mylene's blue shirt on some scenes, it looked almost transparent
That's odd.
Animators probably didn't bother rendering it.
She's such a nothing character.
