Brixton Market 1972

[timoswerner]

this has been bugging me so bad for months now but the whole camping out/queuing from early hours of the morning for gigs is so bizarre like when did that become a thing and why do so many people boast about it on twitter

hi, could you make one with ollie bearman with london boy by taylor swift, please? she's so whipped by her british boyfriend especially his smile and his thick british accent that always drive her crazy and so is he. thank you!

london boy - oliver bearman

genre: fluff

word count: 927

inspired by london boy by taylor swift

warning: english is not my first language

thank you soo much for the request! to be honest i have been thinking about writing london boy for ollie too! also, i'm not from england so all of the information i got for this fict is from google.

feel free to give me any feedback and hope you enjoy! my requests are open 🫶

------------------

I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal

And you know I love Springsteens, faded blue jeans, Tennesse whiskey

But something happened, I heard him laughing

I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent

You met Ollie for the first time when you just transferred to the Imperial College London. You remember it was on a sunny Thursday, and you and your new friends were doing your assignment for a class together. It was going smoothly for you until you heard a laugh that sounds like music to your ear. That’s when you saw him, a tall guy with a sweet smile and dimples, getting shushed by his friend that’s sitting next to him. 

“Is he from our uni?” you asked your friends, pretending to be annoyed when in reality you really want to know if you will have a chance on seeing him again in the near future.

“Oliver? The tall guy with curly hair? No, he is a racing driver in Formula 2. But he is always here when it’s off-season, a lot of his friends went here. I could introduce you to him if you want?”

You know I love a London boy

I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon

He likes my American smile

Like a child when our eyes meet, darling I fancy you

“Stop calling me a London boy! I’m not even from London. I’m from Chelmsford!” Ollie said while laughing, and oh, how much you love that laugh. The laugh that caught your attention that first time, a sound that could instantly bring a smile to your face.

You are strolling around the infamous Camden Market with the boy you have been dating for 3 months now. It hasn’t been long since you first met, but God knows how smitten you are with him. Every time you are together with him, it’s like you became a child that has a crush all over again. His smile, his laugh, his thick British accent, his giggle, everything about him is perfect to you.

“I don’t care! You will always be my London boy, okay.” You said with a smile that Ollie loves so much. A smile that he wants to see for the rest of his life if it’s possible.

“Is that supposed to be a Taylor Swift reference?”

Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride

Babe, don’t threaten me with a good time

They say home is where the heart is

But God, I love the English

It was raining heavily, which means your plan to go on a picnic with Ollie has to be canceled unwillingly. It’s been 7 months now since you first date him, and it has been the best seven months for both of you. Sure, there are arguments here and there, it’s normal for a couple to argue, but you love him so much and you knew he loves you too. “You know we don’t have to cancel our plan right?” he said after you expressed your disappointment. 

“It’s raining like crazy Ollie,” you said pointing the obvious while unpacking the picnic basket you two had prepared.

“We can still go on a walk, play in the rain for a bit, I swear it will be fun!” his reply got muffled as he hugged you from behind, burying his face in your hair, how are you supposed to decline his invitation?

And that’s how, three days later, you found yourself lying in his bed together with him, the two of you feel like dying from the cold you two caught because of the rain.

You know I love a London boy

I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon

He likes my American smile

Like a child when our eyes meet, darling I fancy you

Among all the things you’ve done together with Ollie, your favorite one might be walking around Brixton at night on a weekend. Strolling around Brockwell Park, going to a random concert held in O2 Academy, and visiting the infamous Westminster Abbey. You just love your night adventure with the boy who has been in your life for the past year.

And he loves it too, just as much. He loves seeing you enjoying the park at night, he loves hearing you singing along to a song performed at the concert, and he loves seeing your eyes light up when you were in awe because of the Church. Ollie just loves everything that has to do with you, he loves everything about you. And he will do anything just to see you smile. 

So please show me Hackney

Doesn’t have to be Louis V up on Bond Street

Just wanna be with you

Wanna be with you

You love traveling London with your own London boy. Going to Hackney, visiting the British Museum, walking around Victoria Park, anything really, as long as you are together with him.

Ollie also loves traveling with you too, well, he just loves you, really. He may be not as open as you at expressing his love, but everyone clearly knows just how much he is in love with you. How he would drop everything just to be with you if you asked him. How he would literally fly from Italy, ditching his training at the Ferrari Driver Academy, just to be with you if you called him.

Seriously, everyone could clearly tell that both of you are just two people being insanely in love with each other. And everyone also knew that nothing can change that.

Last week, the Black Keys, a band best known for soundtracking car commercials and occasionally fistfighting fellow Nashville resident Jack White, canceled the entire North American leg of a scheduled arena tour without explanation. Why would a band without a major hit in years think it can sell out arenas in tertiary markets? No one can be sure, but the touring business is in trouble, and part of the reason is ego.

Going on tour used to be a non-negotiable part of a life in music—a way to interact with fans, make money, and see the world. But nowadays, artists either want to play arenas or stadiums or do a residency, playing multiple nights in one city at the same venue, à la Harry Styles and Adele. Every week, another artist goes viral on Twitter for low ticket sales, with a screengrab of a Ticketmaster seat map awash in blue.

[…]

So, who do we blame? Is this the fault of corporate mega-promoters like LiveNation (which produced the Black Keys’ tour) booking artists into the biggest venues possible, then jacking the price of everything from tickets to parking to concessions, all regardless of what the market will bear, while tightening their grip on the marketplace to the point that the Department of Justice is preparing to sue them in federal court for antitrust violations? Is it agents and managers gassing up the artist? Is it just the artist's desire to sell out these giant venues? Maybe all of the above.

If you’re going out on the road and you’re big enough to even consider booking an arena show, why not do three nights in a prestigious venue like Radio City Music Hall or the Beacon Theatre instead? It provides fans with a more intimate experience, and every night will feel full. The Black Keys eventually released a statement. They didn’t blame anyone. They didn’t whine about how hard touring is. They just said they were recalibrating after a successful European run playing venues like Brixton Academy in London and the Zenith in Paris. It was the right approach. We all know it was ticket sales, but no artist should be ashamed of taking your lumps, switching things up, and selling tickets.

Big streaming numbers look great online but don’t necessarily translate to ticket sales. A touring business has to be built, returning to the same cities every year. A career cannot rely solely on the algorithm. Being great live will get people through the door and keep them coming back. These offline collective experiences are few and far between these days; buying tickets and going to shows is essential and valuable. They just don’t all need to be in arenas.

A very shy Kitty Jones cosplay

This fandom is absolutely starved of content as it is but it's absolutely barren when it comes to cosplay content so shy as I am imma put these here. I figure Tumblr is a safe space for healthy dose of cringe right? 😅

I know these are a little 90s / 2016 grungy for Kitty, but those are the vibes I got from her while reading the books.

Starting from the top are the sort of things I imagined her wearing in the early days of the resistance at about 13/14 - I always got soft punk and very tomboyish vibes from her.

(I always think of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones when I think of Kitty, and as she gets older Jane Margolis from Breaking Bad in terms of looks)

Going down- at about 15/16 after the resistance is disbanded I imagined her to be more into grunge clothes and a little more feminine.

And at the bottom at 18/19 when Kitty is working in the Pub as quite a bit more feminine and quite early 2000s Camden Market kinda girl. (I know her hair is short by this point in cannon but oh well)

In an ideal world these would be set against the backdrop of Camden or Brixton but alas I had to make do with a garden.

Maybe I'll redo these at a later point with slightly more 2000s girlie vibes but for now please enjoy (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Music to match the vibes:

Cherry Bomb by The Runaways for younger Kitty

And LDN by Lily Allen for older Kitty

I don’t get out a lot, especially not in the way I used to, and I think about how some of my favourite memories of being outside are so different from each other. Sitting in a catholic church listening to a choir, or standing in an empty train station with the sound of Brixton market below me, watching movies in a language I didn’t understand because it was the only language my friend knew, listening to my other friends family laugh and gossip at their birthday party, hearing my grandma laugh on New Year’s Eve.

Idk what the point is, but I remember writing this and like, yeah, to me that is how you know you’re alive. And none of them include me being actively involved in it, just observing it.

I know you've all been waiting eagerly for it, and here it is: the first Wikipedia poll of the new year! Links and summaries below the cut as always.

On 29 September 1940, a mid-air collision occurred over Brocklesby, New South Wales, Australia. The accident was unusual in that the aircraft involved, two Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Avro Ansons of No. 2 Service Flying Training School, remained locked together after colliding, and then landed safely.

On 11 May 1812, at about 5:15 pm, Spencer Perceval, the prime minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, was shot dead in the lobby of the House of Commons by John Bellingham, a Liverpool merchant with a grievance against the government. Bellingham was detained; four days after the murder, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to death.

The Dorset Ooser (/ˈoʊsər/) is a wooden head that featured in the 19th-century folk culture of Melbury Osmond, a village in the southwestern English county of Dorset. The head was hollow, thus perhaps serving as a mask, and included a humanoid face with horns, a beard, and a hinged jaw which allowed the mouth to open and close.

The Ediacaran (/ˌiːdiˈækərən/; formerly Vendian) biota is a taxonomic period classification that consists of all life forms that were present on Earth during the Ediacaran Period (c. 635–538.8 Mya). These were enigmatic tubular and frond-shaped, mostly sessile, organisms. Trace fossils of these organisms have been found worldwide, and represent the earliest known complex multicellular organisms.

John Rykener, also known as Eleanor, was a 14th-century sex worker arrested in December 1394 for performing a sex act with John Britby, a man who was a former chaplain of the St Margaret Pattens church, in London's Cheapside while wearing female attire. Although historians tentatively link Rykener, who was male, to a prisoner of the same name, the only known facts of the sex worker's life come from an interrogation made by the mayor of London.

Norwich Market (also known as Norwich Provision Market) is an outdoor market consisting of around 200 stalls in central Norwich, England. Founded in the latter part of the 11th century to supply Norman merchants and settlers moving to the area following the Norman conquest of England, it replaced an earlier market a short distance away. It has been in operation on the present site for over 900 years.

Olive Elaine Morris (26 June 1952 – 12 July 1979) was a Jamaican-born British-based community leader and activist in the feminist, black nationalist, and squatters' rights campaigns of the 1970s. At the age of 17, she claimed she was assaulted by Metropolitan Police officers following an incident involving a Nigerian diplomat in Brixton, South London. She joined the British Black Panthers, becoming a Marxist–Leninist communist and a radical feminist.

Paul Palaiologos Tagaris (Greek: Παῦλος Παλαιολόγος Τάγαρις, c. 1320/1340 – after 1394) was a Byzantine Greek monk and impostor. A scion of the Tagaris family, Paul also claimed a somewhat dubious connection with the Palaiologos dynasty that ruled the Byzantine Empire at the time. He fled his marriage as a teenager and became a monk, but soon his fraudulent practices embroiled him in scandal.

The Royal baccarat scandal, also known as the Tranby Croft affair, was a British gambling scandal of the late 19th century involving the Prince of Wales—the future King Edward VII. The scandal started during a house party in September 1890, when Sir William Gordon-Cumming, a lieutenant colonel in the Scots Guards, was accused of cheating at baccarat.

In a protracted conflict during the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Spanish colonisers gradually incorporated the territory that became the modern country of Guatemala into the colonial Viceroyalty of New Spain. Before the conquest, this territory contained a number of competing Mesoamerican kingdoms, the majority of which were Maya.

#3: London Boy - Taylor Swift (we all knew it had to happen at some point.)

"I suppose I'll have to play tour guide next time we're in London," Henry says at Franklin Barbecue, ankles hooked together under the table. "You'd love Camden Market, I think."

"Yeah?" Alex smirks. "What about Highgate?"

Henry hums, a question in his eyes he doesn't voice. "Of course, if you'd like."

"Brixton? Shoreditch?"

"Well, yes, they're both—" He stops short, expression sharpening in understanding. "For Christ's sake, Alex. There's more to London than Taylor Swift lyrics."

"Please show me Hackney," Alex says earnestly. "It doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street—"

Henry throws a napkin at him.

Ok so my glasses are heart shaped and I love them to pieces but they’re soooo old and I need new prescription lenses desperately plus they’re scratched and the blue light filter is almost completely gone. But the manufacturer stopped making them (sad sad sad times) and there’s just no good equivalent on the market right now but I found a little shop in Brixton who said they’d be willing to try and fit new lenses into my frame for a reasonable price but she also immediately said there’s a risk of the frame breaking and I understand that completely but I think want to at least let them try but also I’m am so attached to this frame and I also would need spare glasses for the time when they’re fitting my new glasses (extra money) and ughhh maybe I just stay half blind for a little while longer with my scratchy lenses 🥲 yes I fully realise I am creating this problem out of thin air and I could just wear normal framed glasses but also no

This Night is Sparkling // Closed RP

@fidelixcorde

If anyone had told Draco when he completed uni, and entered the medical training program at St. George, that he'd end up meeting someone who utterly captivated and altered his life, he might have laughed.

Not that it seemed ridiculous, he was open to anything, but he was not exactly entering this career in search of romance. Pansy told him he was too serious, in that regard, but Draco preferred to to think he was practical. He was an MP's son, as upper class as they came; it was impressive that Lucius bent his will enough to not prevent his son going to medical school. And that he managed not to make a public scene over Draco having friends who didn't all go to primary schools more expensive than most of their homes.

Despite all that, he was down to earth, and Draco loved his work. Particularly when he did his rotation in the maternity wing, and thus met a vibrant, scrappy American woman who had come to England with a previously-unneeded dual citizenship, perhaps £500 in her bank account, two suitcases, and a 12-week baby bump that she had crossed the sea to protect.

Taylor Borelli was the most fascinating, most beautiful creature Draco had ever met, and after her first ultrasound appointment, he'd given her his personal number and promised to help her in any way he could.

He hadn't expected her to call--she had just fled an abusive man, why would she spring her trust on a doctor she barely knew? But call she did. And now, as her second trimester was well underway, Draco was her tour guide to London, her medical counselor...her friend.

He was also half in love with her, which Pansy was ruthless about, but Draco managed to suppress those thoughts as he focused on taking care of Taylor just as he had promised.

Today was the first time she had invited him to her little flat. He wasn't surprised she'd landed in Brixton--it was a fine little neighborhood, reputationally sound without being bank-breaking, and the Market was renowned. Knowing as he did now about her Lebanese heritage, he'd made sure she found all the food stalls that catered to authentic Middle Eastern cuisine for her every craving.

Draco knocked on the door of her flat, nodding politely at a passing neighbor. When Taylor answered, he was smiling warmly, presenting her with the bouquet of forget-me-nots and baby's breath blossoms he'd brought. "Thought I'd bring you a splash of color."
