Study of Clouds with a Sunset Near Rome – Simon Denis // promotional poster for the film King Creole – unknown artist // Storm Clouds – Albert Bierstadt // Elvis Presley Live with Scotty Moore and Bill Black – unknown photographer // Clouds Over the Sea – Ivan Aivazovsky // Elvis Presley Perfroming in Aloha from Hawaii – RCA Records // Momentary – Jake Wesley Rogers
An incredible start to concert season. Jake Wesley Rogers is an amazing performer, entertainer, and speaker and it was such a beautiful night filled with love, truth or dares lol, and great music. Stacey Ryan is also an incredible singer songwriter so I can't wait to see both of them again and see where their careers take them.
bitty, 56, and his underappreciated daddy issues if it fits
(ao3 is just appala)
thank you for this prompt i've cried seven times thinking about it. the plotline of this fic, as well as these versions of Jack and Bitty's kids, originated in this piece i wrote in december. this will make the most sense if you've read that one but is still a standalone work. ❤️
56. Bitty + Coach + Pluto by Jake Wesley Rogers for @appalamutte
I think of my mom
She loves me no matter what
And that really fucks me up
Maybe at the end of the day
You and me are both the same
We just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
Bitty’s least favorite dream opens like this.
Alarm. Seven in the morning; he’s late for practice. He wonders why Jack hasn’t banged on his door or come in to drag him out of bed. He tries to get up, but his legs won’t listen to him. Someone else’s feet are attached, clumsy and far away. The ice is cold and his head hurts, bad, and Jack and Coach Hall are talking at him fast. Bittle, hey son, are you alright, come on, Bitty, say something, please.
Hot, hot afternoon; Bitty wakes up on the ground, fine tremble in his limbs. There’s flat blue sky above him, air everywhere but his lungs. The whistle blows and, from behind him, there’s laughter. Flag on the play.
In the distance is the sound of snapping plastic. Bitty is tiny, powerless. All he can do is pray for everything to be over. The laughter intensifies, and the pain with it. He’ll be safe with Mama if he can just get off the field. He wills himself upright and the blankets fall off of him.
Alarm. Time no longer has meaning; Bitty is in his own bed, in his own house, and Jack’s hands are so, so gentle on his cheeks. Bits, he’s saying, over the sound of his phone going off. Bud, you’re alright, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, I forgot to—
The problem with bad dreams is that they always have a good chance to be real. Scared, weak, tiny once again; Bitty can’t help it. He starts to cry.
i got my Cameo request from KTY & it's everything i could ever ask for. i gave her two choices of what to read & i'm so happy she chose Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII. one of my fave poems ever. thank you, Kristina! 🤩🥰😍
i asked Kristina to read the poem in Beatrice's voice. so that's why there are changes in the accent. i am now imagining this as Beatrice reading the sonnet to/for Ava. 🥹
she's the only reason why i made a Cameo account, tbh. so happy that i finally got a slot last week, coz they sell out really fast! 😅 she called me Raeanne coz when i made my account i had my full name there. haha! i edited it now. 😇
* if you have earphones on, you can hear her swallow a bit before starting to read. 🤯
* i squealed when she mentioned Tar. because it's a movie with Noémie Merlant in it. so i take that as my faves watching a movie of the other. 😌
* i got 'kilig' when she said "you're on my phone." haha i'll take what i can. 😇 & when she checked her Spotify, just so she could give me the artist's name.. so cute. 🥺
* coz she was on her laptop, i got a glimpse of all the stickers on it. 🥰
for reference:
- Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII
KTY's book, movie, & song:
- book: The White Castle by Orhan Pamuk (adding this to my TBR)
I'm a student disk jockey (DJ) on the college radio, and I'm trying to figure out what regular people's music taste is. Any song recs please?
