Victor Carrillo Tracey as a Soc in the Outsiders

[gayest-classiclit]

ROUND 1 - survivors

[blood-ology]

I'm only 3/4 of the way through it, but so far it's amazingly, wonderfully insane that Victor/Victoria has aged sooo beautifully as an lgbt+ movie? Like oh my godddd there are so many things that I'm losing my shit over here (contains spoilers !) :

Victoria coming out of Toddy's closet wearing that one guy's clothes and then clocking and kicking his ass

Them addressing certain straight men's fear and insecurity around being attracted to drag queens (and inadvertently, trans women)- and the insecurity in their masculinity/the need to prove that they're (straight/masculine/cis) men

Norma having it revealed to her that Victoria's a man and immediately jumping into saying "well, a woman can always tell- no matter hormone shots, etc. there's some things that can't be hidden" (she's literally flat out making shit up cuz that aint the case lmfaoo) I love how in the context of now this feels like they're actively dunking on transphobes

Toddy saying "You know, I think the right woman could reform you, too." right back at Norma when she says it to him

Toddy and Victoria's relationship <33

It's a low asf bar now but an insanely high bar for the time: no transphobic slurs or comments so far???!! Even media from the 2000s often fail this test

Victoria absolutely owning King Marchand every time he's homophobic or obvious about his fragile masculinity :)

Deliberate misgendering framed negatively in a context without trans people or transphobic implications... idk I just think it's neat

Being chill about str8 drag lets fucking go

Textual proof that Julie Andrews is a gay icon and also SO fucking hot in drag

Gay man + straight woman friendship/solidarity in a way that isn't annoying or too stereotypical

The way that Victoria's relationship with both Toddy and King Marchand almost comes off as homoerotic cuz of the drag (wrote this before I got to the part where they were perceived as a gay couple lol)

Honestly you could give Victoria almost any gender/sexuality and this movie would still be a massive slay

"I don't care if you are a man" *kisses her* "I'm not a man" "I still don't care" *they kiss again*

Victoria clocking that one guy multiple times

People thinking King Marchand is gay ("so there was this polish fairy..." and "if a guy like you has the guts to admit he's gay... so can I")

"I said you can stop pretending" "I don't think I want to"

"You know a lot of guys, you'd be surprised [how many of them are gay]."

The convo about men and women not having any particular gendered way of acting, and some women having adams apples ILY <3

That asshole who's trying spy on Victoria getting his umbrella absolutely nuked by the lightning lmaoo

[yoificfinder]

I started building this thread two years ago but I always get so busy around his birthday, I could't finish collating everything. This has long been overdue but better late than never.

Happy birthday, JJ! 🤴🍁

Here are some JJ-centered fics to celebrate. Note the pairing for fics with romance for easy reference, otherwise it's JJ-centered.

after the fall by thankyouforexisting / @dragonagelesbian [T, 2K]

JJ isn't the first person to fall apart because of his anxiety.

“I just - I just heard something, and I thought maybe you needed some help?” Yuuri sounds like he’s a bit embarrassed, but he pulls through. “I’ve, uh, I’ve done my share of crying in bathroom stalls before, so don’t worry, I won’t judge.”

He doesn’t say anything, terrified. His knuckles are white against the porcelain. Yuuri can’t see him like this. Yuuri beat him. Yuuri broke a world record.

“If - I mean, if you want me to leave, that’s alright.” God, he’s still going. “But I won’t say anything, I swear. And Victor always makes me carry tissues and disinfectant cause he’s worried Yuri will get a cold, so I’m really good at clean up.”

Good Catholic Boy by Heavenly_Pearl / @kaleidodreams [M, 20K] JJ/Bella

Jean-Jacques Leroy always considered himself a good Catholic boy, but when he and Isabella give into temptation, his life is changed forever.

Irrepressible by tonberry [M, 8K] JJ/Otabek

For as long as he can remember, JJ has wanted to be liked.

(He's not very good at it.)

The First Cut by BoxWineConfessions [E, 27K] JJ/Yuri, Otabek/Bella

People made divorce seem like this long drawn out and ugly process, but it really wasn’t. He bought the town home for Isabella as a gift, and so it was hers. The flat down town would go to him, as it was closer to the rink. They paid off her medical school loans last fall, so that was done too. He had a few cars, which she unanimously agreed were his to keep, so long as she could keep her Corvette. She changed her vanity plate from Dr. Leroy to Dr. Yang. He saw it parked out front of the courthouse.

this is who i am baby, just follow me by kanoitrace [G, 3K] JJ/Bella

Theme of King JJ is his reminder to himself that he can do anything, but it has no meaning if she isn't by his side.

Timezones and Tricky Translations by ilien / @ili-here [T, 6K]

JJ gets a lot of texts from Yuri Plisetsky. He's aware that the ones that aren’t “Fuck you!” are actually meant for Otabek, but he answers them, anyway.

transatlanticism by copperwings [E, 11K] JJ/Yuri

It takes approximately two and a half minutes of video chat for Yuri to realize that JJ in public is completely different from JJ in a more private situation.

JJ in public is brash, loud and infuriating.

JJ in a private setting is still loud, but he’s also a huge blushing idiot who can’t sit still for more than thirty seconds and who stumbles over his words and chuckles nervously. His eyes are often lowered as if he doesn’t know where to look.

It would be annoying if it wasn’t so fucking cute.

-

...or: how Yuri and JJ cope with an ocean between them.

we can't always be trailblazers by @mrscalculation [G, 2K]

JJ never meant for Yuri to genuinely hate him, but he couldn't quite pinpoint the root of the problem until recently.

[jimgandolfini]

hi ! i love your old man posting (came for succession, stayed for the fellow old man lover etc) even if i don't interract much with your posts. i've been meaning to ask this but the people need to know what he looks like like which actors kinda (i know it wouldn't be exact) only if you're comfortable saying of course !!!! btw the way you made the starter pack is so funny he's so universal. anyway i hope you get him and live my dream !!

Thank you, ily 🙏🙌

It’s funny you asked this because literally last week I was thinking it’s weird that I cannot think of one celebrity lookalike for him lmao. So i even put his photo into a celeb lookalike finder website.. I’m still not satisfied. I’m gonna ask my coworker who thinks he’s hot what she thinks. I’ll update if she comes up with something.

Anyway he does not look like any of these men individually but shares some kind of feature with each.

Blue eyes, short king, close haircut but *greg hirsch voice* nice head of hair there boss, obviously grey. He’s got a very short goatee, when he was my age he had a beard, and used to have a mustache..so I did some editing to help your imagination and mine lmao.

If you could combine Victor Garber + this very specific photo of Michael Cudlitz that might be most accurate. And the first two with my magic marker beard actually look a lot like this video interview we have of him when he was my age. 🙌

Kenny is so right bestie fuck this losers

-

Hand in hand, elbows firm on the dining table, gazes locked unblinkingly so, they’re connected tightly this late afternoon.

It was a usual Saturday at first - the gang was in the middle of their intense DnD session; a hobby they decided to move to the Harrington mansion because here there’s no parents to interrupt and, frankly, better snacks.

A decision paired well with how Billy has been helping Steve out with his tower of homework once a week for the last half a year or so, and Max is elated because it means she doesn’t need to get a dorky bike when she can just hitch a ride with her step-brother.

Billy and Steve were, metaphorically, elbow deep in English literature, homework on Edgar Allan Poe and the “romantic era” of poetry, which to Billy isn’t exactly something he wants to study so closely with the one guy he can’t ever stop thinking about; can’t ever have.

So when the little brats shouts for them, interrupting whatever Steve was asking about, gesturing with those hands, hair smelling so fucking good of expensive shampoo- what is that? Lavender?

The six of them trot into the dining room, Max looking horribly exasperated, arms crossed and rolling her eyes as Will and Dustin fight about something way too loudly.

“Hey!” Billy shouts but they don’t stop. “Hey!” Louder this time and it visibly shakes poor Will. “What is it?” 

“Well, we were on our way to fight this dragon, ordered by lord-” Mike starts explaining but stops promptly as Billy raises his hand up.

“The short version, we’re kinda in the middle of something here.” Billy gestures to the incomprehensible mess of papers and books in front of him and Steve, who looks relieved at the chance of a break.

“So we’re in a tavern” Mike tries again, but-

“This better be quick, Wheeler, or you’ll have to explain to your mom how your bike got bent.”

“Billy,” Max groans with a hard stare, after all, he had agreed to be nice.

Both to her and to Steve.

“We need you guys to arm wrestle!” Mike spits out and looks between the vastly stronger, older guys.

And at that Billy can’t help but grin all crooked with exposed teeth. See that’s something he can get behind; a chance to show off and prove he’s still the King, even if he and Steve have found something akin to friendship after their truce.

“Well why didn’t you just say so,” Billy almost chuckles. He places an arm across the back of Steve’s chair and turns to look at him. “What’d you say, princess?”

Steve looks more than a bit intimidated, eyeing Billy’s arms, chest, grin, and then Dustin and the rest. “What’s at stake?”

“Oh, we’re at this tavern, and Max and Lucas have each bet on these two strong orcs sitting and doing an arm wrestle in the middle of a roaring crowd, and we need you guys to decide who wins! For it to be fair,” Dustin says, shockingly without any interruption from Billy, and smiles oh so wide that Steve even asked.

“Okay, sure,” Steve doesn’t sound very convincing, but he shakes his head and stands up to walk to the other side of the table.

“But it’s not fair!” Max shakes her head. “Billy is clearly going to win, so how do we decide which of the two orcs he is?”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” Steve’s voice a slight bit shaky, perhaps because everyone knows he’ll lose, even himself.

Billy just sticks out his tongue at him and rumbles forth a chuckle. Oh he is going to destroy Steve, no doubt about it. He’s been looking at those arms, fought him before even, and while he’s not the worst fighter Billy’s been up against, he’s far from the best.

“How about I say the names and they decide which one they’ll be? That way they don’t know who bet on who, and you guys won’t have a say in it?” Will asks as he settles into the chair next to Steve, ready to judge the show of strength.

“Genius!” Lucas proclaims and sits down on the other side of Steve.

Max simply scoffs and goes to stand next to Billy.

“We have Urzok the Infernal, and Dhakk the Mighty,” Will offers up and looks between Steve and Billy,

“I’ll take Dhakk the Mighty,” Billy drawls out and wags his tongue at Steve, whose Adam’s apple bobs visibly as he swallows hard.

“Guess I’m Ur… Urok?”

“Urzok,” Will says with a far too serious tone, as if it actually matters.

And their hands clasp together atop the sea of notes. Strong, firm, warm, soft. Does Steve use lotion on his hands? Billy teasingly squeezes the other’s hand a bit tighter for a short moment, a little signal of “You’re going down, pretty boy.”

But for some reason that Billy isn’t too keen on exploring, Steve squeezes back, and his heart does a dangerous flip that nearly causes his cocky grin to falter. Does he know what he’s doing to Billy? Is he aware of the stupid effect this causes?

“Are you ready?”

“I’m ready,” Steve says with sudden confidence, as if he fucking knows.

“Yeah, ready.” Billy counts it as a victory that he doesn’t stutter those two simple words.

He’s starting to sweat, actually, and prays that Steve doesn’t notice it - that his hand doesn’t turn clammy and gross. The first time he touches Steve’s hand and he’s going to ruin it by being sweaty and sticky.

“1… 2…”

Somehow it’s the slowest countdown he’s ever listened to.

“3… Go!”

And Billy’s entire arm tenses up immediately. Steve’s pushing against him, grasp tight and desperate, is this all he got? Billy’s not even moving yet, rock steady although he can feel that Steve could probably win with enough determination, the way his arm is starting to go in the wrong direction.

So he pushes back a bit, just enough so that Steve knows, arms going in the right direction this time, further and further in favor of Billy.

The kids are shouting and screaming their names- well, the orc names, but Billy doesn’t really register their words or who’s cheering for who. He’s gazing straight into those eyes where he drowns in honey, staring back beneath a tense brow.

Steve’s smiling somewhat, it’s hard to tell from the way his lips are pulled tight, but Billy has watched Harrington enough to know his expressions.

And as Steve’s arm starts to shake ever so slightly - not visibly so, but felt in their grasp - Billy’s not even halfway through his energy reserve, and honestly he’d hoped for a bit more of a challenge, but…

He eases up, just enough for it to be believable as Steve starts pulling him in the other direction. Even so, Billy is not about to go down easy. Halfway to his loss and he’s still holding strong, Steve’s exhaustion more apparent now yet he smiles lighter, forehead less wrinkled, some gleams in his eyes.

The back of Billy’s hand meets the table softly, and everyone but Max jumps up ecstatically, clapping and shaking Steve by the shoulders as he won.

Steve’s got both his hands in the air now, leaving Billy to feel weirdly lonely, but he won’t dwell on that.

“Yeah!” Steve hollers victoriously, pumping his fists so full of vigor. “And the crowd goes wild!” He cups his mouth like a megaphone and mimics a cheering crowd as best as he can.

Dustin and Lucas jump around him, shouting all sorts of nonsense that isn’t meant to be understood past their excitement, yet Max’s scoff manages to be heard above their celebration, and she stomps back into the living room with El and Mike in tow.

“Change that to Urzok the Champion!” Steve shouts just as elated as the kids and points to Will, who’s almost beaming at the way those three makes a scene.

Unfortunately, Billy hadn’t really given the side effects of victory any thought, and seeing how happy Steve is to have won stirs something in him.

“Harrington! Harrington! Harrington!” Steve, Dustin and Lucas all chant like they’re at a football game, all deep and gruff. “Harrington! Harrington! Harrington!”

There’s a pang of heart and a souring of his gut. Billy knows that he let Steve win. There’s no need to feel threatened or jealous or whatever. Kinda angry, kinda entertained. Kinda sick-ish.

“You really thought you had me there for a moment, huh Billy?” Steve points to where Billy remains seated, smiling but not with full honesty. “Thought you could defeat the King!”

Okay that does it. “Come on pretty boy, one more time, just for fun,” there’s restraint at the edge of his tone, and his smile twitches with something mean. He pats the table and offers up his hand again.

But Steve throws his head back as he laughs in a mocking tone, friendly enough, although far too boastful.

“Nah, I won-” He presses a finger against his chest, then points to Billy. “-And you lost!” 

The way Steve smiles so wide actually hurts in a way, and it is shocking how something so small and meaningless can wound Billy’s pride.

“And you can never-” Steve slams both hands onto the table. “-Ever-” He leans in close enough for Billy to feel him breathe out, “-Take that away from me.”

There’s a far too familiar desire to reach out, to touch skin, to meet the source of those words. Billy’s only seconds away from either punching Steve or kissing him, he can’t really tell, but his entire being is ready to act.

Steve doesn’t linger there though, pulls away and lifts up his arms, flexes his biceps and tips his head down to plant a kiss on each, really showing off just how strong he is, boasting about being the victor.

“Guys come on!” Mike shouts from inside the living room, clearly very impatient.

“Yeah yeah we’re coming!” Dustin replies at the same volume and sets off.

“Thanks,” Will speaks low, or maybe it just sounds like it from the way the others assaulted Billy’s eardrums with their shrieking.

And soon enough they’re all alone again.

Billy slumps against his chair, playing with a pencil that will soon break under the tension of his unresolved feelings.

Steve puts his hands on his hips, chest heaving as he tries to calm down again, looking just as flushed and worn out as he does after basket. He huffs a laugh and shakes his head, then returns to his seat right next to Billy, who’s smiling something so sly.

“You… you let me win, didn’t you?” Steve asks all breathless and runs a hand through his hair. His exhaustion comes more from the wild gloating than the actual wrestling they did.

“All I can say is…” Billy leaves a pause that is a clear indication of a yes as he eyes Steve up and down. “Congrats on the win, Urzok the Champion.”

what if the lucky 7 wasn’t the lucky 7?

 or the fic where bill denbrough becomes obsessed (first with finding georgie, then also helping henry bowers free from IT’s grasp), henry is in so much pain, richie just wants out of derry, eddie just wants a normal summer, stan is afraid of losing his friends, mike is trying to move on from the fire, ben wants someone to think of him as anything but ‘the new kid’ or ‘the fat kid’, bev wants to believe the world isn’t out to hurt her, vic is so guilty he could puke, belch just wants to love everyone, and the turtle is just confused.

or: the one where everything is the same but the bowers gang and the losers come together to get rid of pennywise.

WANT TO PLAY:

I want to play s o many characters but I have like....20+ muses. These aren’t happening unless I put them on a separate super low activity blog or something.

Karen Page - Daredevil / The Punisher. I don’t know if I”ll ever actually play her but she’s??? My favorite. I love her. I watch the shows f o r her honestly. She’s also like....exactly up my alley as a muse. Just someone I would have a great time playing, but also am terrified of screwing up, because i love her so much lmao.

Catherine Linton (i.e. Catherine Jr.) - Wuthering Heights. Very very On Brand for me. Also a particularly waspish female character, which is less on brand for me, but seems like a good challenge?

JOI - Bladerunner 2049. Sci-fi is probably not very on brand for m e but Joi just seems like a very flexible character to play. I like

Leonard H. McCoy - Star Trek (Specifically AOS). I’m nostalgic but I don’t think I’d actually pick him up. I used to write a ton of Star Trek Fanfic and I miss my Good Angry Doc

Thomas Schofield - Sorcery and Cecelia. He’s a little shit, the Marquis of Schofield, and from such an obscure book I may as well be playing an OC in the end probably, but he was considered for my Original Roster. Anyway, he’s a Regency Marquis who is also a magician, except he’s a dumb and his magical focus item accidentally ended up being a chocolate pot which is....so easy to break. Anyway, he’s rather clever, has got a bit of a pompous peacock thing going on, and is quite a bit less of an asshole than he’d like you to believe. 

Ok this isn’t specific but I’m.....like a book and a half through ASOIAF and not making a ton of progress bc I....have no time lmao but I’m getting the Terrifying Feeling that by the time I’m done I’m going to have another muse??? Stay tuned??? 

A bunch of Muses from the dramas I’m watching, but that blog is already in progress and I’m going to go ahead and call it SUPER LOW ACTIVITY since the fandoms are also pretty dead

HAVE PLAYED:

I.........really am not proud of any of these oops.

Enjolras (Les Mis the Musical) in like....I want to say 2015??? I deleted this because I was a full-cringe fanon portrayal. Just. I’m so sorry Victor Hugo. 

Enola Holmes (Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes / but also everyone who played w/ me was in BBC Sherlock so uhhh BBC Sherlock??) in......2017? I wanna say??? This blog you can still find, though I don’t really recommend you try. It wasn’t......great oof. I mean, I really liked the book series as a kid though? Just like.....it was great representation for a lil girl. Enola was constantly outsmarting Sherlock using Victorian Lady knowledge and I just. Loved it. She’s so clever. 

James Moriarty (BBC Sherlock), also in 2017. Not much to say about this one except to say I wasn’t active but people followed like crAZY when i w a s being active on Enola and nobody cared? and I was like “Well I ain’t having this bullcrap” so I just.............stopped dealing with it. Cause I was salty and anxious. Sorry not sorry lmao. 

Bway Group RP - Philip Carlyle, Sue Snell. I actually still love both of these muses but they just didn’t make my initial edit cut when I transitioned to this blog.

WILL/WOULD PLAY AGAIN:

Some of these I’d revisit for real; some I just wish I could.

Philip Carlyle - ok so I’m actually also super attached to Sue, but I also haven’t Stephen Kinged enough to feel comfortable playing her. Philip though - he was g r e a t fun. I think I really had the sweet spot between being a flirty jerkface and a genuinely not horrible guy that I can’t satisfy with muses like Anatole? 

Karen Page - Will I ever make it through the punisher??? that remains to be seen oops. 

I miiiiight pick up Catherine/Dolly. If I do, I’d have to pick 1 out of 2 and not do the other one for sure.

That ASOIAF muse is probs gonna come, idk tho
