#Declan Kennedy

[rededgefashion]

I'm back and I'm here to judge the leftovers fro the circus and yes, they are considered the leftovers. Be thankful there's not an official event this month so you can let your wounds heal from this post.

Tyler looking like like she's about to start middle school instead of attend a ciricus. TJ looking like he's here to just drink beers with his friends and not care about the circus. Kiara looking like she's about to go to a convention of people who love leather. Kennedy giving us the same old, same old with her look. You're a model, change it up! Kat looking bored more than anything else. Declan looking like he's about to go on a date, rather than be at a cirucs. Brittany looking like a knock of Lululemon model. Emmett looking like a poser to be honest. Honestly Emmett, the "too cool for anything" act is just boring. Maverick looking like security rather than a patron. Logan looking like she's about to model for American Eagle. Who gave you those flowers Lo?

Hope you all had fun.

XOXO

[lovecharged]

she isn't an idiot. she isn't blind and she can sense his urgency. yet it's not enough to force her to run. her heart races, fear grasps at her throat and her stomach and her ribcage, and yet she remains stuck in place. however, it's not as if she's frozen. she isn't. she just can't leave him without understanding, not if there's danger. sure, she more than likely wouldn't be able to help, but she cared about him. olivia cared about the man more than she'd ever cared about anyone, bar her brother maybe. swallowing thickly, she forces the tears away; forces the frantic energy back and crosses her arms tight against her chest. "no." she sniffles, defiant through the tears, as she watches him closely. "tell me honestly, if i begged you to go -- terrified of something. desperate for it. would you actually leave me?" a brow cocks, curious to hear his response. "or would you stay, and try…try to help me? even if you didn't get what it was? even if you had no idea whatsoever?" she was clueless, but he was here -- and in her experience, being by his side was safer than being anywhere else. "i only…i only feel safe with you, declan. i-- i can't leave you right now."

"no? what do you mean no? this isn't up for negotiation, olivia." words came out more harshly than he'd intended for them to, but his stress levels were raised and he didn't always act well under the weight of pressure. "now is not the time for you to be stubborn about this. maybe you don't need to trust my word, but you'd be wise to listen to my warnings. you need to get out of here before something happens to you." why she had to choose now to be defiant was not something he had a whole lot of time to question, so he'd just do whatever he could to make her listen to him without dragging her into what was going down. "olivia, just go home! i'm not doing this with you right now. there's not enough time! please listen to me and get out of here!" his tone was desperate. he hoped she'd pick up on the urgency of things and head in the opposite direction, even if he had little faith that she would actually do that.

modern marauders music tastes

sirius: i think he'd still be into 70s rock/punk but would listen to some modern alt (queen, t.rex, bon jovi, buzzcocks, bowie, led zeppelin, metallica, dead kennedys, big joanie, the struts, royal sugar)

remus: his music taste is a combo of his parent's cds, so that'd be 80s/90s music, plus music his friends like (tito puente, sade, björk, buena vista social club, pupo, umberto tozzi, bowie, queen, kendrick lamar, childish gambino)

james: mostly listens to modern pop/rap music and finds music to listen to through spotify recs (bruno mars, kendrick lamar, karan aujla, sabrina carpenter, clairo, childish gambino, macklemore, lil nas x, chappell roan, conan gray)

peter: listens to a lot of local indie bands but does also like some popular music (two door cinema club, noahfinnce, declan mckenna, kasabian, green day, alex g, billie eillish, finneas, cavetown, sir chloe)

mary: her music taste is almost exclusively modern pop/kpop (LISA, rihanna, aespa, le sserafim, sabrina carpenter, STAYC, weekly, (G)I-DLE, newjeans, charli xcx)

marlene: she mostly listens to lesbian/queer rock and grunge from various times (the runaways, big joanie, destroy boys, lesbian bed death, hole, tracy chapman, against me, alanis morissette, miley cyrus (now), fiona apple)

emmeline: despite getting mary into kpop her fav genre is indie pop/rock (boygenius, RIO, the last dinner party, maya hawke, IU, billie eillish, chappell roan, girl in red, ethel cain)

dorcas: mostly listens to pop punk and 90's grunge (green day, SATE, the offspring, jimmy eat world, sinéad o'connor, WILLOW, weezer, tracy chapman, the cranberries, pixies)

Rice, Rice, baby | Chapter 20

Previous chapter | Next chapter

Masterlist

“Olivia, where do you think you are going?” my mum asks me as I walk down the stairs.

“To work?” 

“Don't you have a doctor's appointment to attend to today?”

“Yes, this afternoon.”

“What? I thought you said it was in the morning! I changed my shift to go with you!”

“I'm sorry, mum. But they called yesterday at the last minute saying that they had to reschedule it.”

“And why didn't you tell me?”

“I forgot” I shrug.

But I actually hadn't forgotten. I had been the one calling my doctor asking her if we could reschedule my appointment to the afternoon so Declan could come with me since he didn't have training. This was my first scan since I had told him everything, and he wanted to be there with me.

“Oh, Liv… I wanted to be there with you! Today they will definitely tell you if it's a boy or a girl!”

“I'm sorry, mum. You know I have too many things in my head right now and…”

“I know” she says, taking my hand on hers and giving it a little squeeze. “But I still wanted to be there for you. Your dad is already missing it since he is at that talk in Manchester.”

“I know. He was so excited…”

“He was” she says. “But who will be going with you then?”

“Kennedy.”

“What? Why her?”

“She was free and offered to come with me.”

“And Alex? He hasn't been to any scan yet, and he is the father of your child in case you have forgotten.”

“I have not, no” I sigh.

“Liv… I don't know what happened between you two and I respect your choice to not tell us… But in a few months there will be a baby, and they deserve to have a mother and a father that will take care of them.”

“They will have that, don't worry” I say. Because if Declan keeps his promise, our baby will have us both in their life. Maybe not together like a couple, but we will be there for them. “And I better go, I don't want to be late.”

“Ok. But be careful with the car and keep me updated about the doctor's appointment.”

“I will, mum. I promise. I love you” I say, kissing her cheek.

“I love you too, Olivia” she smiles. 

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

“Hi, sorry I'm late” I say, getting into Declan's car. “There was a problem with that bloody coffee machine again, the technician wasn't picking up the phone, and then the power went out for an hour. It was a bit chaotic and… Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?”

“Uh?”

“My face. Is there something on it? I had pasta for lunch, so maybe I didn't clean all the tomato sauce.”

“There is no tomato sauce” Declan says.

“Then why are you looking at me like that?”

“How?”

“Like… that” I say, moving my hand in the air. 

“You look beautiful today.”

“What?” I say with a nervous laugh, my cheeks already starting to burn.

“I mean, you always look beautiful. But today, a lot more.” 

“Well… ummm… thanks.”

“You're welcome” Declan smiles. “Now, should we get going? I don't want us to be late to meet the little one.”

“Yes, of course” I reply, putting on my seatbelt. Or trying to.

“Here, let me help you.” 

The moment our hands touch and he looks up, it's like we've traveled back in time to the day we met. I can feel the same electricity I felt when our fingers first touched running through my whole body, my mind starting to get lost once again in that shade of blue I had never seen before. 

“I hope they get your eyes. And your eyelashes.”

“What?” Declan says, his hands still on mine.

“The baby. I hope they get your eyes. They are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.” Woah, Olivia. Intense much? 

“Thank you” he replies with a shy smile. Wait a minute… Declan Rice getting shy after I have complimented him? Since when? I am the one who starts giggling and feeling her face on fire, not him. “And this is done.”

“What is?”

“The seatbelt, Liv.”

“Oh, yes, yes. Pregnant brain, you know” I say with a stupid laugh. Yeah, making a fool of myself in front of him hasn't changed.

“Is that a thing?”

“Yep.”

“Interesting” he smirks. Now that is the Declan I am used to. “Do you need anything else?”

“No, I'm fine.”

“Ok. Then let's go see our baby” he says, letting go of my hand and making me miss his touch. But it doesn't last long, because he moves it to caress my bump, something he would do again a few more times while we are stopped at a red light, the warmest and fuzziest feeling ever filling my chest. 

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

“Ok, let's check how the little one is today, shall we?” my doctor smiles while I give Declan's hand a little squeeze. I've had to grab it to make him stop fidgeting, he is so nervous…

“Woah, what is that noise?” he asks. 

“That's their heartbeat” I tell him.

“Really? Is that normal?”

“It is, don't worry. It means they are very healthy” the doctor explains. 

“And I thought mine was beating fast…” 

“Welcome to the club” I chuckle. “Are they in the right position today?” In my previous scan it had been impossible to tell if they were a boy or a girl. 

“They are yes. Do you want me to tell you now or are you planning a gender reveal?”

“Oh no, I hate those. Declan?” 

“Uh?” he says, his eyes still fixed on the screen. He is… Oh my God, he is crying.

“Dec, hey. Are you ok?” I ask him, squeezing his hand again.

“Yeah, yeah, I just… That's my child” he says, quickly wiping away his tears. 

“It is, yes” I smile, trying not to cry too.

“Anyway, the gender” he says, composing himself. “Is it possible to know later on our own?”

“Of course” my doctor says. “We'll give you an envelope with the results so you can open it when you are ready.”

“And photos too?”

“Photos too” she smiles.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

“So, how do we do it?” Declan asks me once we are back in his car.

“How do we do what?”

“The envelope, Liv” he says. “Do you want to do it here or should we go somewhere special?”

“Actually, now that you mention it… Can we go to that restaurant where you took me when we left the lionesses game? I've been dreaming about the cake we ate for the past weeks.”

“First craving?” he asks, starting the car.

“Oh, no. My first craving was Cadbury chocolate.”

“You are always eating chocolate, Liv” he chuckles. “That isn't new.”

“But now it's gotten worse.”

“How can it be worse than liking literally anything made with chocolate?”

“I have to keep a bar on my bedside table because I wake up hungry in the middle of the night and it is the only thing I want to eat. And it has to be Cadbury chocolate, just that one. One morning I woke up hugging it.”

“What?” Declan laughs.

“Yeah” I shrug. “I think it is because the baby has your sweet tooth.”

��My sweet tooth, Liv? Mine?” he laughs again. 

“Yep, yours” I smile. “So if my teeth fall off after eating so much sugar… You are paying for the new ones, you are the millionaire here.”

“Ok” he laughs once again, the rest of our journey to the restaurant filled with more of his loud laugh while I just smile like an idiot. Had I missed that? God knows I had.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

“Is it as good as you remembered?”

“Better” I say, cake spilling from my mouth. So elegant, Olivia.

“Here, let me help you” Declan chuckles, cleaning my chin with his napkin, his other hand holding my face. I wonder if he can feel my cheeks getting warmer and warmer by the second. “Done.”

“Thank you” I whisper.

“So… Should we open the envelope before they kick us out due to you eating all their cake?” he says with a teasing smile.

“Ha ha ha” I reply, rolling my eyes. “But yeah, let's do it. It's in my bag.”

“Ok” he says, taking it and moving his chair next to mine. “Are you ready?”

“Are you?”

“I asked first, Liv.”

“I know. But your hand is the one that's shaking, not mine” I say, holding it like I did during our doctor's appointment.

“Sorry” he smiles. “Anyway, ready?”

“Ready” I smile back.

“And baby Rice is…”

“I knew it! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!” I laugh, hitting his arm.

“Ouch, Liv!”

“I knew it was going to be a boy! You only have brothers and they only have boys! It's like you only carry the male gene!”

“I actually have a niece too, remember?”

“The exception that confirms my theory.”

“You look quite happy about it” Declan chuckles. “Did you want a boy?”

“I just wanted a healthy baby. But since the moment I found out I was pregnant, I pictured a boy” I shrug.

“With my blue eyes?” he smirks.

“With your blue eyes and hopefully a smaller head.”

“What?” he laughs.

“I know most of it is hair but… Yeah. I don't want something that big coming out of my…”

“Oh my God, Olivia” Declan laughs again.

“Sorry” I shrug. “Anyway, should we ask for more cake in honour of our little boy?”

“Ok. But just one slice, and we'll share it.”

“What?” 

“You just said you don't want a big baby, and if you keep eating like this…”

“Idiot” I reply, hitting him again. “But fine, ok. Just one slice.”

“And then we are going for a walk to help with your digestion.”

“Yes, mum” I sigh.

“If I'm being annoying is because I care about you, Liv. Both of you” he says, caressing my bump.

“I know, Declan. I know” I say, smiling like an idiot once again. 

[gcddamnvampirea]

Even hearing him tell her that she'd done wrong only made her feel slightly more relaxed, though the anxiety was still there. His actions had made it clear that something had happened and she was racking her brain through all of their interactions recently where she might have done something to cause him to be so uncomfortable around her. It wasn't until he mentioned being embarrassed that she stopped worrying, brows furrowing together in confusion. "You know you can tell me anything. It can't be that bad." She stated. But what he said didn't even come close to what she'd been expecting. She hadn't had anyone in her life admit to seeing her work, but for it to be him... Kennedy couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him, and had for a while, but it wasn't something she'd ever acted upon. But now? "I see," she said slowly, the corners of her lips twitching as she fought a smile. "Did you like watching me like that?" Maybe she was being too forward, but she had to know.

@gcddamnvampire continued from here.

"Stop," he whispered avoiding her gaze. Of course she could see he was lying, Declan hadn't been able to look at her ever since finding her videos. The man forced himself to look at Kennedy and he sighed deeply as he did so. "It's not you, you did nothing, okay?" The woman deserved an explanation even if he felt ashamed. "Fuck, this is so embarrassing." How was he supposed to tell her that the simple thought of her was enough to get him hard? That it had awaken something in him before but now, it was taken over him entirely. That he couldn't control himself every night. "You mean a lot to me," he slowly started, trying to reassure her. "I was browsing the other day and found videos of you. And it's making it hard to be close to you."

RULE 24

"Romantic relationships between camp staff are strongly discouraged during the camp season. The nature of camp work requires collaboration, teamwork, and a high standard of professionalism. Counselors should refrain from forming romantic relationships with other counselors who are on the same team or have direct supervisory or working relationships with one another. This helps to prevent conflicts of interest and ensures that work-related responsibilities are not compromised by personal dynamics."

but as they say, rules are made to be broken.

Emily Prentiss x reader Covers a bingo square. Warnins: language, hurt/comfort, deals with Emily coming back from the dead. Not sure if it's as good as I'd like, but I was just rolling off the fact that I hate that everyone was so upset with *her* rather than Hotch/JJ who lied and kept it secret all that time. And this is what we're left with.

Tears slowly streamed over your cheeks as you sat in the hard plastic hospital chair for what felt like hours. Your vision blurred; your ears buzzed with noise but you never really heard anything anyone was saying as the team slowly began to leave the emergency room. It had honestly even been a bit of a miracle you’d made it there in the first place, getting the unofficial call from JJ once they’d realized what was going on. While you were part of the FBI, you weren’t in the BAU, you normally wouldn’t have been let in on a case like this. The room was practically spinning, your cheeks were stained with the remnants of tears you had cried out as your fingers twisted the diamond ring on your left hand, one that Emily had given you less than a month ago. A promise of a future together, of plenty of memories to build, a life to grow, one that had been torn away from you in a matter of hours tonight. JJ’s words still ringing in your ears, ‘she didn’t make it off the table.’ You felt a sturdy hand wrap around your shoulder and without looking up you could tell it was Aaron, no doubt feeling responsible to make sure you got somewhere safe tonight,

“I’m not ready to say goodbye yet.” Your voice choked out, rough and raw from holding back sobs earlier.

“I know.” He squeezed softly, “but we can’t stay here much longer. Doyle’s still out there, we need to get you back home Agent Kennedy.”

“Agent?” Hotch’s voice rang clear through your mind and you blinked out of your memories.

“Kennedy?” JJ’s voice was softer and fully shook you out of your nightmares and you finally looked back up at the two of them.

“I’m sorry.” You shook your head with an apologetic smile before you gulped, “I’m… not sure I understand…”

“Emily is alive.” The woman’s voice was soft, her small smile even softer as she sat across from you, her eyes attempting to read your face, “she’s been in hiding since Doyle got to her.”

“Like.. witness protection?” You asked. Normally your brain should have been able to wrap around this in seconds, processing it like the agent you were, but every single fibre within you seemed to have come to a halt. If someone had asked you what one plus one was you would’ve answered eleven.

“Sort of.” Hotch replied, “but the important thing is that we now have Doyle in custody.”

“He escaped Korea… are you sure this is even safe?” You finally looked up at him, tears threatening to spill over your cheeks, “I cannot lose her twice.”

“She’s the only one who can help us get to Declan and end this.” JJ assured, her hand reaching out to squeeze at your knee and you nodded.

“The team doesn’t know yet. I just wanted to make sure you got a heads up. She’s on her way here now.” Hotch commented.

“What?!” Your head shot up, lips parted as you sucked in a breath, “she’s… here?”

“We’re meeting in the round table room in fifteen if you’d like to be there. If you’d prefer a private reunion we can arrange that but there isn’t much time, we need to get to work asap.” The blonde offered and you shook your head.

“No…no..” You wiped away a stray tear, “if you give me even just a moment alone with her I’m not letting her go. And I know this is important. Just… give me a minute to.. get myself together.”

“Alright.” Aaron nodded, swiftly moving past you with a brief squeeze to your shoulder so he could gather the team.

JJ stayed with you, knowing that if you were to be left alone you would never move, frozen in your confusion, in your need for this to all be true yet the terror of it being a nightmare. That if you were to leave Hotch’s office you’d find yourself wandering into the roundtable room to find it empty, that this was another one of your recurring dreams. She handed you a tissue, helping you fix your slightly smeared makeup with a reassuring smile before you finally let out a solid breath and gave her a nod. She only dropped your hand once you hit the doorway of the room, letting you find your way around the table to drop into a chair. The team was used to having you around, even after losing Emily you were someone they consulted with relatively regularly and considering the case, no one batted an eye to you being there today.

You did your best to focus as voices began to fill the room, eyes flitting from one person to the next, your heart thundering in your chest so hard it shifted into your ears. No matter how much you tried to listen to the information all it turned into was a pulse in your head, voices drowned out by your brain telling you this was all your imagination. Until you heard the gasp beside you, the voices speaking their disbeliefs, the sound of footsteps stalling in the doorway to the roundtable room and with one deep breath the scent of her shampoo invaded your scenes from across the room.

“But… we buried you…” It was Spencer’s voice that brought you back to reality, surging you back to the day you’d watched her coffin sink into the dirt and you glanced up at him.

A few other comments were said as you tried to gather your composure, watching Emily cautiously moving through the room, her lips spewing apologies as she went. It wasn’t until your eyes finally landed on her that you let out a shaky breath of relief. She was real, she was there and she was suddenly a foot away from you in a now empty room.

Emily’s hands were shaking, her gut churning harder with every step she got closer to you, she could taste the bile creeping its way up her throat. Somehow coming back from the dead was more anxiety inducing than actually dying. She knew this was going to be intense, she knew it would be a lot, and while Hotch had warned her you’d been looped in, he’d failed to mention that you would be in the room.

“I’m so—” She hadn’t even gotten the sentence out before you’d launched out of the chair and for the briefest second she thought she was about to be hit. Instead you wrapped your arms around her, tighter than she’d expected and she let out a little squeak, causing you to leap away, hands shooting to your mouth.

“Oh god, I’m so sorry.” You muttered, “are you okay? I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“No, no!” Her hand jumped up to your arm, tears blooming in her eyes, “I just… I didn’t exactly expect any warm welcomes.”

“So… you’re really okay?”

“It was touch and go for a while.” She admitted after a heavy sigh, “and I wont lie, things still hurt like hell every so often but yeah… I’m healed… I’m okay.”

“Oh god.” You launched back around her once again, your arms wrapping around her shoulder so tightly you thought you’d never let go.

Emily let herself melt into your embrace, she’d been so worried how everyone would react and somehow you ended up being the single person who seemed to not hate her today. You clung to her with every ounce of love you ever had for her before all of this happened and she very happily buried her face into the crook of your neck. Soaking you in, breathing in the scent of your perfume, the feel of your skin against hers for the first time in months, aching to never let you go.

“We don’t have much time.” You murmured, your lips brushing against her neck and she shuddered.

“Why don’t you hate me?” She asked, her voice shaking as she finally pulled far enough away from you to gaze down at you and you choked out a laugh.

“How could I?” Your lips broke into a grin, “I love you, and you’re alive. How could it get better than that?”

“But…. I abandoned you.” Her voice softened, her hand coming up to caress your cheek, “and the team… and they don’t seem too happy.”

“It’s not your fault!” You nearly laughed, “Doyle…” your voice began to shake as tears flooded into your eyes, “I mean…. He did everything he could. If we were further from the hospital… who even knows…” Emily’s chest tightened at your words, her hand squeezing at your arm.

“You.. you were there?” She asked and you nodded.

“Hotch wouldn’t let me on the scene but I was in the ambulance with you. And I’ve never been more scared in my life. But that doesn’t matter.” You brushed away a tear, your hand reaching out to Emily’s cheek to wipe away her own, “what matters is you’re here now. And before you ask again, no, I will never hate you. Em… Doyle thought he killed you and your life depended on him thinking that he did.”

“You’re not mad about Paris?”

“You had no choice.” You squeezed at her hand, “you’d already ditched both of your phones, the only burner you had left no doubt he destroyed before the warehouse. It’s not like you had any way to contact me. The choice wasn’t yours and was made before you were even out of the coma. Sure, I missed you to hell and back, and every inch of my being wishes that I could’ve been put into hiding with you, but… I feel like then it would’ve been obvious you weren’t dead. And that means you wouldn’t be here right now.”

Emily grasped your hands in hers, taking the plunge to lean in and kiss you and your right hand quickly came up to caress her cheek, letting out a soft whimper at the feels of her lips finally against yours again. She never wanted to pull away, wanted to remain in that moment forever but she knew there was so much more to work though. When she finally did she found her hand playing with yours, cool metal meeting the tips of her fingers before she glanced down and her head tilted.

“You’re still wearing your ring?” She glanced up to you and you smiled, a huff of a laugh escaping your lips.

“I never wanted to give up on you.” You shrugged, “because the only future I saw was with you. The only future I wanted was yours. Even if you didn’t come back.”

“Oh sweetheart.” She stroked at your cheek again, her fingers affectionately pinching at your chin, “I never once stopped thinking about you, never stopped loving you.”

“I know.” You smiled before the two of you jumped at the sound of a knock on the door, glancing toward it as Hotch spoke.

“I hate to intrude, but Emily, we need you now.”

“Yeah.” She nodded toward him, glancing back to you who nodded.

“Go.” You squeezed softly at her hands, “just fucking come home to me in one piece this time, alright?”

“I will. I promise, and I don’t make those lightly.” She replied, leaning in to kiss you gently, “I love you.”

“I love you more.”

“Not possible.”

The rest of the day felt like a blur, every time you caught yourself staring blankly at your computer you were certain that you’d dreamt the entire thing. That you would wander up to the BAU’s floor later with a smile on your face only for it to be replace with tears as the fantasy came crumbling down around you. Instead, you were met with extreme relief when seven p.m. was closing in and you felt a warmth on your shoulder, followed by Emily’s perfume invading your senses and you looked up with a bright smile. While she looked a little worse for wear, and you could tell she was utterly exhausted, she was there, a tired smile on her cheeks as she gazed down at you.

A tired smile that grew large when you jumped out of your chair to wrap her in the tightest hug, pressing a tender kiss to her cheek. She had been so scared about coming back, about how everyone was going to react and after getting the cold shoulder from her team all day she was certain that you would’ve had time to process everything and you would be mad too. Instead of cold, she was met with your hand grasping hers, fingers interlacing and she felt the warmth bursting through her body starting from her fingertips shooting all the way down to her toes. A warmth she hadn’t felt in seven months, one that she had nearly forgotten what it felt like and the one that she had missed more terribly than anything else in the world.

“C’mon.” You murmured, squeezing at her hand, “let’s go home.”

bigfatsnaredrum This week’s guest is Steve Durham (@steve_durham). Steve is a Drummer, Musical Director and Producer from London, UK. He began playing drums at 8 years old and was out on the road by the time he was 14. ⁣

Since then, he’s worked with a number of notable artists, including Louis Tomlinson (One Direction), Dermot Kennedy, Wolf Alice, Foals, Holly Humberstone, Aurora, Declan Mckenna, and Marina and the Diamonds.⁣

I met Steve for the first time a few weeks ago at @maxwellflanders birthday party; he was the cool guy with a saucy accent, Rolling Stones shirt and leather jacket. Timeless baby 😎. ⁣

I hope you enjoy the 5 records plus a few honorable mentions that helped shape Steve Durham into the bada$$ he is today. Available now wherever you listen to podcasts. Cheers!

Steve Durham plays drums in Louis Tomlinson’s Copy Of A Copy Of A Copy.

Aging is weird. Like, logically, I know that I am 28 years old.

But where the logic in my brain stops is that if I am 28:

that means I graduated high school 10 years ago in May. (And graduated college 5 years ago)

that means my best friend and I have been best friends for 16 years. (We met when we were 12. I have known her longer than I haven’t at this point)

my best friend’s baby brother graduates high school next year.

Bronx, Saint and Marvel Wentz are 15 (he’ll be 16 by the end of the month), 10 and 6 respectively.

Declan and Antero Stump are 10 and 7 (8 in December)

Bandit Way is turning 15 in May.

Rowan and Kennedy Way are 6 and 4

Freddie Tomlinson is 8

Bear Payne is 7

Khai Malik is 4

In conclusion: I’m old. Between the above facts and being riddled with chronic illnesses/conditions, I am feeling like a very old 28.

Comic Log 2024 (Redux)

The Great: Comics that stick with me, that are fun to read, look at, and think about; these wind up in my "Favorite Comics" spreadsheet.

Dungeon Meshi by Ryoko Kui Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison and Richard Case The Flash by Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, and Mark Millar JLA by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter Animal Man by Grant Morrison and Chaz Truog All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely Batman by Grant Morrison Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and David Aja Black Widow by Marjorie Liu and Daniel Acuna Birds of Prey by Gail Simone Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Moon Knight by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett The Fade Out by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips 20th Century Men by Deniz Camp and Stipan Morian Gotham Central by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka Action Comics by Phillip Kennedy Johnson The Many Deaths of Laila Starr by Ram V and Filipe Andrade Invincible Iron Man by Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca House of X / Powers of X by Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Larraz, and R.B. Silva Superman: Birthright by Mark Waid and Leinil Yu

The Good: Comics that I overall enjoyed but had some notable complaints about.

Seven Soldiers by Grant Morrison Batman: No Man's Land by various authors Wolverine by Greg Rucka Catwoman by Ed Brubaker Journey into Mystery by Kieron Gillen Black Cat by Jed MacKay She-Hulk (Vol. 2) by Dan Slott Magneto by Cullen Bunn 52 by Johns/Waid/Morrison/Rucka/Giffen Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka Superman: Up, Up, and Away by Kurt Busiek, Geoff Johns, and Pete Woods Superman and the Authority by Grant Morrison and Mikel Janin Black Widow by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee Punisher by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto FF by Matt Fraction and Mike Allred The Nice House on the Lake by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez Bueno Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber

The Mid: Comics that slid off me in one way or another, or had potential that I think got squandered - not terrible, but feel a bit like time lost. Least likely to get a write-up.

X-23 by Craig Kyle & Chris Yost Detective Comics by Greg Rucka JLA by Mark Waid Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee Detective Comics by Scott Snyder Batgirl by Kelley Puckett X-Men: Messiah Complex by various authors We3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely

The Bad: Comics that I actively did not enjoy.

Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday Action Comics by Grant Morrison Punisher by Rick Remender Venom by Rick Remender Moon Knight by Brian Wood and Cullen Bunn Uncanny X-Men by Ed Brubaker Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Ant-Man and the Wasp by Mark Waid Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky New X-Men by Christina Weir and Nunzio DeFillippis
