Would X Men Evo Rogue cosplay as Edward Elric?

HELL FUCKING YEAH SHE WOULD!!!

I need you to know that this ask has made me realize that 2000 southern Goth rogue was so totally a weeb and fma 03 would’ve been her jam

FMA 03 was so angsty and so fitting for the 2000s Goth/alt kid. Not only would she have been able to heavily relate to Edward, but all the Gothic imagery man, al would’ve reminded her of Kurt, hell they probs watch it as siblings, hogging the couch on daturday nights for toonami and the adult swim anime block… She would’ve loved it, especially all the music from it. I can see her headbanging to each intro song, from melissa to rewrite, probably convinces Logan to translate the lyrics for her so she can sing them in English lol

Bonus doodle: her and kurt reacting to the scene that broke everyone in 2004

Tina Turner

Queen of Rock & Roll

November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023

Mrs Tina Turner The "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" 

(November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023)

In a career spanning more than 60 years, the US-Swiss singer, who was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, won eight competitive Grammy Awards and has a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the St Louis Walk of Fame.

Her famous track list over the years includes the Bond theme track for 1995’s GoldenEye, with a tune of the same name co-written by Bono and The Edge of U2 fame, and other tracks include We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome), What’s Love Got to Do With It, Private Dancer, Let’s Stay Together and many more.

In 2008 she duetted at the Grammys with Beyonce for a rendition of Proud Mary which featured both the powerful singers, in sparkly outfits, mirroring each other’s choreography.

Other notable duets through her career included performing with David Bowie and in 1985 she took to the stage with The Rolling Stones’ Sir Mick Jagger during Live Aid.

Her career spanned more than music, with her starring in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome alongside Mel Gibson and she also appeared in 1993’s Last Action Hero.

In 2021 she sold the rights to her back catalogue after reaching an agreement with BMG for an undisclosed sum, signing over her share of her recordings, her music publishing writer’s share and her name, image and likeness, the company said.

Her solo works include 10 studio albums, two live albums, two soundtracks and five compilations, which together have sold more than 100 million records.

All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. 

Tina, we will miss you dearly.

how to get away with murder really went off having a black bisexual survivor of abuse as the main character and also the most badass defense attorney in the country
