#Diva's daughters

“I idolized Ruth Brown. I wanted to be Ruth Brown”. Little Richard

Died on this day: fabulous 1950s rhythm and blues diva Ruth Brown (12 January 1928 – 17 November 2006). I was privileged to see “Miss Rhythm” perform several times over the years at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly weekenders. She was like a regal, soulful earth mother. Even in failing health, Brown rocked the house like a pro and boy did she know how to milk a crowd. “The doctors told me I’d never walk again,” she’d declare. “And here I am!” Which always elicited an eruption of applause! For John Waters fans, Brown will always be Motormouth Maybelle in the definitive 1988 version of Hairspray. As Brown told NPR in 1997, she almost declined the part. “I had said, well, I'm not going to do this film, especially when they took me to wardrobe and brought that white wig out. I said, not on your life … (But Divine stepped in.) I called him the divine Divine. He came to me, and he said, “Girl, put that wig on your head and make some money.” And I said to him, “No, I'm going to lose every fan I've got in the world if I come out with this white wig.” And Divine said, “Well, I tell you what. For every one you lose, I'm going to bring you two.” And every time I see that film - and it runs continuously, and I've gone into grocery stores and see young people following me around - my ego says, “Oh, they know who I am, Ruth Brown,” that kind of thing. And then they will eventually say, “Aren't you Motormouth Maybelle?'” That was my role and continues to be my claim to fame, you know. That cult film has really been wonderful. I go to the mailbox quite often now and find a little cheque with John Waters - God bless him - on it. And he writes to me and sends me crazy Christmas cards and things till this day.” My favourite song of Brown’s will always be “Teardrops from My Eyes."

This is one of my favourite images from the credits of Eternal Diva:

When we first meet Amelia, she acts cold and distant. She isn't interested in helping others and even chastises Luke on the boat. Some might assume she's rude or stuck up.

But when she is kidnapped by Descole, we see her cold facade crack. Her grandfather is dying and she wants to give the Eternal Life to him. Amelia literally entered a game where she herself could die so she wouldn't lose her grandfather. In that moment we suddenly see who she really is: a scared child who would do anything for her loved ones.

However, during the credits we see this image. It shows that Amelia's grandfather has indeed passed away. There is a chess piece next to his grave, suggesting that he was the one to teach her the game.

But Amelia isn't sad. She's smiling, probably thinking of the good memories they had together. Maybe watching Janice say goodbye to Melina made her realise that she will never lose him, as long as she remembers him.

It's a bittersweet, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but it helps add closure to Amelia's character.

But the other reason why I love the image is Layton and Luke in the background.

"Uhhhhhh. Why are we here Professor? We barely know this girl."

"Because Luke; a true gentleman must always attend to the needs of a lady. Even when he doesn't remember her name."

I rituali di femminilizzazione, abbellimento e cura sono un omaggio a quella forza appassionata che la ispira e alla quale è devota. E così divenne una rivelazione, una sacerdotessa della Dea.

Wayward Daughters (the Diva Pirates)

Shanks looked around at Elegia, at the destruction and the fire and the wrath of Tot Musica, and then looked down at his precious daughter, passed out in his arms. “The Government will come for her,” Beckman said lowly from his side. Shanks knew that. Shanks was more than well aware. “I’m not leaving her here,” he said firmly, voice just as quiet. “We’ll take her back East, and hide her on Dawn with Luffy. No one will think to look for my daughter there, after all… Gordon! When people ask, tell them that the Akagami Kaizokudan were responsible for Elegia – and say nothing of Uta, do you understand?” Alternatively, the ASL brothers become the ASUL siblings, and the shafted female characters of One Piece take to the Seas themselves. Or, Tumblr user @rainboweem has an absolutely adorable picture of the Monster Trio and their big sisters, and I took one look at that and went "😍😍 I NEED this as a fic so bad!” So I wrote it.
