I don’t do Mecha requests but Sari-nee asked really politely so:) Just this one time.

But seriously, I only do human designs as requests. Robots take soooo much longer to draw

Also ahaha my design skills are simpler than an old brick. I just picked a haircut which shape would resemble Jazz’s helmet the most~

🎙️🔥 Black History Month & Singer Billie Holliday

Events leading up to Billie’s death.

—In 1939, Billie Holiday recorded the first great protest song of the Civil Rights Movement, ‘Strange Fruit’ —“Strange Fruit” was originally a poem written by Abel Meeropol, under his pseudonym Lewis Allan, as a protest against lynchings and later set it to music. First performed by Meeropol’s wife and their friends in social contexts, his protest song gained a certain success in and around New York

—The song soon came to Billie Holiday’s attention, and after so many frequent requests of that song, she closed out EVERY performance with it. The waiters would stop serving ahead of time for complete silence, the room would darken, a spotlight would shine on Holiday’s face, and there would be no encore

—Radio stations in the South wouldn’t play it, record labels wouldn’t record it, oa BUT YET, the song rose in the charts selling over I million copies. Despite the success, a government agency was determined to shut her down.

—One night in 1939, Holiday received a warning from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics to never sing the song again. This order was led by FBN commissioner Harry Anslinger, also known as an “extreme racist in the 1920’s”. He had a mission to eradicate all drugs everywhere, and believed jazz music was the problem. His attack on this genre of music was racially led.

—Holiday’s known struggles with alcohol, drugs, and vocal voice against white supremacy made her a target. He sent undercover agents after her, including arranging for her abusive husband to set her up.

—She was put on trial (The United States of America vs. Billie Holiday) just wanting to recover, but was sent to prison and her cabaret license was revoked. That didn’t keep her down. She continue to perform “Strange Fruit” even at a sold out show at Carnegie Hall

—In 1959, Holiday collapsed and was sent to the hospital with liver disease and goes into heroin withdrawal. Her friend managed to have the hospital give her methadone to help her recover.

—Arslinger’s team arrested her on her hospital bed cutting off her methadone medication after claiming to have found heroin in her bedroom. I0 days later, Holiday died.

In other words, they murdered her.

You do ONE (1) Functionist!AU piece and suddenly the rest of it comes tumbling out of the undergrowth like wood lice shdhhsjdjff.

In which F!AUJazz has a little look/outfit upgrade to commemorate him taking on the position of rebellion leader in OP’s stead, as Invictus Prime (a name gifted to him by Prowl before Prowl has to head back to his own universe), though he’s still having minor reservations about the whole thing which Prowl tries to allay.
