It is a real photo lol, it’s from 2020 when she had her grad photoshoot: https://m.vk.com/album-144642807_268780469

Forgive me Prince, I let you get wrinkled

But I also have another UTCM shirt

My cloth mask I wear whenever I go out

My nerdy Prince vest (more on the other side but this was the one w/Parade pin)

I also had a large sticker of the Parade pic on my old phone, which I loved but had to upgrade bc it wasn't 5G (😭).

Yeah...I'm not sure anyone but my exes know just how much of a Prince and Parade/UTCM fan that I am. I have a pretty extensive collection back home in Massachusetts in my Sign O' the Times themed room (it's peach and black LOL).

Say what you will about him, we've known about it (to the extent, maybe not, and I despise how he treated Mayte when their baby didn't make it). Creatives are fucked, particularly the most talented ones (like Prince was). He was the GOAT for many reasons.

He wrote too many songs for other artists. I haven't placed too many of his songs in the Afterburn library yet (only the cover of "Take Me With U" on the Birthday Soundtrack); I think I've purposely shyed away from doing so because there would probably be too many of them on there. Up to the 90s his catalogue was mostly sex, and he has songs about age gaps ("Curious Child" and "The Morning Papers" being the bigger ones probably). But his style of music doesn't generally fit with the vibe of my story/Wednesday. He did write and produce the song I need to add to the soundtrack for Chapter 8, though.

He loved his beautiful Latinas. Apollonia is Mexican. Mayte is Puerto Rican. He certainly had a thing for them. 100% if he were still alive he might have 👀 on the kiddo, though Aliyah is more his type (Prince was never really into baby faces, his women were always more classically mature in the face, if that makes any sense. Like look at a photo of young Mayte or young Vanity/Denise Matthews and you'd see the type).

By the way. Prince was a very short king 👑, an inch shorter than me. Y'all don't think we gave him affectionate nicknames? But it was all of that high heel wearing that destroyed his hips, leading him to the surgeries and the pain pills and...yeah. I don't like to see people hurting themselves over their insecurities or for fashion.

Anyway. *stares at the wall...*

...Maybe since Wenovan is so sex positive, I'll have to do a funky smutfest with a Princely theme. It's canon that Donovan has Prince albums in his collection.
