I don’t care about her living off of Elvis but I kinda wish Priscilla didn’t erase his other girlfriends from his story like Anita Wood, Ann Margret, and Linda Thompson

this is an interesting topic for sure. I’ve wondered if anyone else has noticed that there is kind of a hierarchy in the elvis world regarding girlfriends and friends of elvis. and it can especially be seen by what elvis presley enterprises chooses to promote

like for example, Dixie Locke and Priscilla became good friends later on in life. And I think that has influenced Dixie Locke’s book being sold on the Graceland website and maybe even why she was shown in the Elvis movie. You would definitely never see something like Ann Margret’s book or Joyce Bova’s being promoted. I have noticed that elvis presley enterprises doesn’t want to put any attention on girlfriends whose time with Elvis overlapped with Priscilla’s, like Joyce Bova, Ann Margret and Anita Wood for example.

even at Graceland where Elvis’ tcb ring is displayed I heard that the tour guide doesn’t mention that the diamond on it isn’t the original, and that the original diamond is with Ginger Alden as it was used to make her engagement ring which she still has to this day. regardless of what you think of Ginger, to completely ignore her engagement with Elvis is crazy to me

As for Linda I was honestly really surprised that she had no mention in the Elvis movie at all. I understand the movie was more about Elvis and the colonel’s relationship but to ignore almost 5 years of Elvis’ life with Linda is crazy. But I think it was to show some narrative like Elvis was never able to move on from Priscilla, which I don’t think is true and is unfair to women like Linda, Sheila and Ginger who had significant relationships with him. Idk how much control Priscilla actually has, especially now, and from my understanding she wasn’t involved in the movie but I sometimes think maybe Baz did certain things to appease Priscilla but I can’t say for sure👀

I think all Elvis history is worth knowing, and it’s definitely not fair to just pick and choose

what do y’all think?

Au anon

You think that Norton would slow turn into Fool's Gold or something else entirely.

And I can see Alice putting the pieces together about why Norton don't want to go down the tunnel and atleast try to help him.

Also Melly would definitely try to wrangle and fly a gigantic bug.... much to poor Frederick's displeasure.....

That man is going to be billing Melly for his therapist if they make out alive.

YEEEE Definitely turning into his Fool's Gold form~ with some added pizzazz~

-checks my notes-

hmmmm states here 'make taller' SOUNDS GOOD TO ME LOL

Absolutely! Alice being 'quick at the draw' would likely have secretly pieced it all together but waiting for the perfect time to confront Norton about it, cause she is noticing he is more....off and avoidant, than how he was when they first began this mission. Something is up, she knows it, she wants confirmation, but doesn't want to blow the powder keg that is already dangerously close to blowing with how high strung everyone is getting 👀 So it would be awfully convenient that she gets him alone when the group gets split up heh

----------

HAAAAAAAA MELLY WRANGLING A GIANT INSECT TO TAME AND RIDE -WHEEEEZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Frederick: "why the HELL is it listening to you??" Melly: "I have a way with insects and such~" Frederick: "If we escape this place, I will need to drink an entire winery's worth of alcohol and you're going to be paying for it"

----------

Gosh absolutely absolutely ALL OF THIS!! the wrapping of exposed places that are changing, trying to present at the same height he is SUPPOSED to be, and acting like a sick animal, aka you have absolutely NO idea they are sick except for some slight barely there signs that begin presenting over time 😭😭

GOSH he would avoid her like the plague ;A; Especially after how quickly she pieced together his ties to this area and the trauma underground!! 😭😭😭😭

like!!

Norton brushing her off again and getting up to go search the surrounding area. Alice running after him and confronting him away from the others Alice: "You are sick! Why won't you let me help you??" Norton: "I am NOT sick, leave me ALONE" Alice: "I won't! This stubbornness is ridiculous! What point are you trying to prove here??" Norton: "I am not proving anything, since I am NOT SICK" Alice: "NORTON, ENOUGH!" -grabbing his arm and pulls off the bandages from there, expecting to see a wound of some kind but, its just rocks. they aren't even connected, just floating there. She looks up at him- "Norton.....enough" Norton: ".........." -taking his arm back from her and finally stands up straight- "as you can see, you now knowing that something is wrong, helps nothing...I am just as f**ked as I was before you threw off the bandage and now you're twice as worried." -picks up the bandage and begins re-wrapping his 'arm' back up- -But Alice places her hand on his 'arm' to stop him- "let me see it all...I want to see everything..." Norton: ".............."

After you finish your Malarkey series, do you think you’ll write one for any of the other boys?

Thats such a good question! I hope I am able to come up with another complete story line like I have for MEDIC! But tbh this story has literally been the only thing on my mind since I started writing it. I hope that when I do finish it, I can produce another story with a different lead from BoB and that it’s just a good as MEDIC!

But I’m scared of finishing medic cause what is my life without it! Ahhhhh

It’s ok I’m sure I will figure it out!

[softlyopulent-if]

Aaah! the demo is amazing, dear author! :) If I may ask, what are the ROs first impressions upon meeting the MC?

Thank you!

Aleksandar/Aleksandra: A finds MC bothersome. They try to spend as little amount of time as they can with MC because they find comfort in that. They believe MC is some sort of tyrant like most of their family had reputations of being. That's why, if MC acts soft toward them, they're confused.

Rhys/Rhea: R doesn't know MC yet. They flirt as easily as they breathe, so it's really something to look too deeply into yet. They're the sort of person that waits to judge until they know.

Calixta/Calix: C doesn't care enough about MC to have a first impression. But they think that they'll have a tough time adjusting.

Mestra/Mestrn: M pities MC. They know it must be hard to live somewhere foreign.

Hello! For the writer asks:

24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?

26. How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place?

24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?

I think i sometimes have more fun prepping than writing. I get really invested. Idea usually roles in a scene or two or a few. Or a sentence. Or a little image in my head that i get fixated on and must make some plot for. Prep starts immediately: Outline. First Chapter-by chapter. it looks simple at first little blurb about whats there. Then more complicated - titled scenes within the chapter. I treat this like building legos. Which little blocks to i need to make the right shape to fit the bigger shape. I like to visualize it fully before I write it. Then if ive made myself a deadline or the story is long or i got bored - oh - well then we're in trouble. then excel and powerpoint get involved.

Some examples: Voyager Rewrite Series Slides. Aquarius Posting schedule (as you can tell im doing terribly there XD) and then a table of the main points for a Post-Voyager Pocket Books series

The thing is I usually have like: The idea YEARS AND EONS before I have the time to work on it. So this type of really um. obsessive weird prep mania helps me document the key details i need so that when its finally time to dust off, i am not stuck staring at a single beautiful scene and despairing of what the ever loving fuck i intended to make with it.

26. How do you get into your character's head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going there in the first place?

How I do it: I stare creepily off into space and listen to some song on repeat until I can get their dialogue. Often involves spoken monologues in their POV while in the shower or on a walk or staring in the mirror. But like very quietly so that no one gets creeped out by whatever not normal subject matter is being discussed. How I get out: With difficulty. There is a reason i get caught zoning out in conversations

Do you ever regret it: Nope!

[megistusdiary]

OML i was very weary of making a request since i’ve never done it before, butttt you did not disappoint ^O^ !! thank you for taking the time to write chubby reader x arle ! i was literally giggling and kicking my feet -🪷

i am very glad you enjoyed it!! i had many thoughts to share.

i love seeing requests in my box, i really do get super excited to read through them.

my only concern is that it takes me too long to get to them, and then the anons will not know when i do answer them :(

i hope you guys know i see every ask, and even if it takes me a while, i do try to get to them. i don't want to rush through them, though. every ask is important to me ♡

[trubblegumm]

Oh my god I just woke up and my inbox is FLOODED AGAIN YOU GUYS ARE INSANE

[colorfullyminded]

Silly Game Time: Why did you pick your particular Tumblr user name, your icon or avatar or PFP or whatever you call it, and your banner?

I picked my name because I wanted something fun and accurate.

So colorfullyminded. Colorful mind. Because I tend to have a lot of ideas.

It also is meant to emphasize that Im a pretty accepting person. I like to think im a pretty chill girl, and while I'm not perfect-- i try to let people know they can be chill and real around me.

My icon is Pinescone because I've been shipping these fuckers for 10 years! I ain't ever getting off. Im one of the few ogs still sailing this fucking ship. Also this paticular art I commissioned back in like 2014/2015 at an Anime Convention, called Anime Conji. I had to look someone in the eyes and ask if they'd be willing to draw Pinescone for me. Mortifying-- but also best day ever! Got a lot of cute physical art that I still have kept safe.

My banner is Wirt and Greg-- and honestly it's the duality of my mood.

[doll-elvis]

Thoughts on Barbara Leigh and Susan Henning?

sorry I don’t know if you wanted to know something specific about them 😭 but I’m just gonna say I think they are really important ladies worth knowing, mainly for the fact (this might sound weird but lemme explain) that they both already had children while they dated Elvis👀

some wannabe psychologists *coughs* alanna nash *coughs* albert goldman *coughs* have said Elvis was so enmeshed with his mother that he could never be with a woman who had a child because it would be like incest with Gladys or some crazy shit (yes they have both actually said that💀) all in their attempt to vilify Gladys and make her out to be some obsessive and controlling figure that prevented Elvis from forming regular relationships. which I find to be so untrue and harmful to her. Gladys was such a sweet woman and a loving and devoted mother who literally just wanted some grandbabies, keep her name out of y’all’s books, I’m begging !! (plus she is all our honorary mother-in-law 💗)

so personally that’s why I think it’s important to read about susan henning’s and barbara leigh’s romance with elvis because it sheds light on that subject and shows that elvis was more than willing to be with the woman he liked, regardless if she had a child or not

also I think they are both very cool & iconic and they are serving looks here (+ Barbara Leigh’s book is rlly good) 🤠

mianite bloodborne au that I just never finished writing for.

basically, Sparklez is the main character, i.e. our moon scented hunter and he wakes up zero clues and ideas about where he’s at and who he is but he learns one thing immediately and that is that he’s gotta hunt.

His first boss fight (the only one I’ve got figured out in my brain) is Andor who he watches turn into this huge fucking amalgam of feathers and righteous anger. While up until this point he was fighting mobs of beasts and messed up townsfolk, this would be his first real taste of an actual challenge. Andor himself was pushed to his limits between being forced to worship gods he doesn’t care for and being ignored, he succumbed to become what he does.

Before all that, in a place that the present time regards as “old yharnam”, Spark and Jeriah take in two, maybe orphaned, children.

Capsize and Redbeard are originally from Fishing Hamlet but they do 100% lie about everything to Spark and Jeriah so what the truth is, they don’t really have a concrete understanding of their past.

Jeriah is a vileblood and a hunter, and Spark used to hunt with him, but after a near death experience takes him out and now he upgrades other hunter’s weapons and helps fix the damages caused by beasts. In the present he would definitely be a boss Jordan would have to fight.

Because of the nature of this world, everything goes to shit eventually. Jeriah takes Capsize under his wing and does teach her how to hunt efficiently, unfortunately because he cares about he cannot in good conscious let her join his blood knights and that causes a lot of strife between, so much so that she does go hunting, although not on her own. She does get blood drunk and slowly deteriorates into a beast, but she is killed before she fully turns into one.

Spark takes Redbeard under his own wing, though Red doesn’t take to fixing weaponry as easy as Capsize takes to fighting. Redbeard has an eye (the red one) that is hypersensitive to beings (great ones) that are hidden to most, this does cause a lot of pain and he gets an eyepatch that helps with the pain.

So Ianite and Spark don’t get together here and I realized that because Spark is genetically related to like three integral characters, it’s hard to find an explanation for their existence in the story. Of course I could just ignore that but then I’d know I was purposefully ignoring that and it’d just fuck with me. So, I gave up on writing it lmao.

1 and 13?

1 What is the first fandom you were ever a part of?

If we define Fandom as interacting with other people (for a specific show, and not in general) and/or creating stuff FOR that show/book/etc, then probably Supernatural, some time after 2015. Otherwise, it would have to be Star Trek.

13 Fandom you've been a part of the longest?

For the same definitions, i would have to say Supernatural as well.

HOWEVER, Star Trek also because the first time i went to a convention, I was about 15 (I'm trying to do math about how long ago that actually was and I'm a little dizzy so I'm having trouble mathing. um. it was a LONG time ago. 30 years?) and i absolutely went, giddy with the idea that i was getting to meet Nichelle Nichols from the original Star Trek.

And then i went to several more conventions, all letting me see star trek actors speaking or letting me get their autographs and pictures taken WITH them. and i absolutely bought merch. I didn't know about fanfic, or fanart. I DID dress up in costume twice (but only for Halloween) and i didn't really have anyone to talk with Star Trek about.

It was only when I came on tumblr and my hubby showed me fanfic sites that i found fandom as a community (and i'm so happy!!)

And for both questions: An honorable mention goes to Power Pack, which I haven't really found a fandom community for BUT I learned to read on that comic, little kid me designed myself my own outfit. My daughter and I DID cosplay from the comic at halloween AND at cons and other events and i absolutely wrote fanfic for it, and made art for it too, even if my core audience was my own kid. So that would be 40 years

Thank you for the asks!!

[withascaleandafeather]

For the soft asks ?

12. How are you?

22. What would you say to your future self?

How am I? Above ground. I am, understandably, still very upset about losing my old blog. It looks like it really is unrecoverable. But we soldier on.

I would tell my future self "I love you. I see you. You exist in that nebulous, distant land where I can't go. You stand in my place. But you are still standing and that's so wonderful, my dear."
