Happy 49th wedding anniversary to John and Veronica Deacon! 🥰✨️👑💕

No smooches or sugary things this year (yet! 👀) but this time I wanted to finally grab the occasion to redraw this wedding meme that @anne-white-star sent me a long time ago, as the Johnica wedding! I'm sure you know the silly anecdote of Freddie bursting in the church with a feather boa, holding Mary and Kash at his arms 😅 so here we are, with Roger, Brian and Freddie taking a goofy picture with the newlyweds John and Veronica 🥰

I know, this is nothing crazy and I still prefer my previous arts for their wedding anniversary, but I still hope you'll enjoy this and stay tuned for a new artwork soon 💕

👉🏻 And don't forget to check out @johnica-weeks and the new fandom event! 👈🏻

Please don't repost without credits! Reblogs and comments are highly appreciated 💜 This art is protected by Glaze.

The Theme 🎁

The 49th Wedding Anniversary comes soon before the huge milestone of the 50 years together, and it's usually represented by various symbols that I added to the prompts: Zircon, Orchids, the color Purple, and luxurious gifts. The main theme of this year's event is GIFTS, the act of giving the partner something material or abstract as an act of selflessness, that can have various meanings and various reactions.

Like all the prompts, it’s up to you to follow the theme or not, consider it just as a general theme that you could build your entries around. I chose some prompts that might fit this theme, that are about gifts as physical objects or as ideas for situations or alternative worldbuildings.

How? 🖼

You're encouraged to join with your preferred creative media or challenge yourself with something new! Fanfictions, drawings, comics, poetry, collages and photo edits, moodboards, anything you like! More in the RULES below.

Like all Ship Weeks, this is a fandom event to share love and creativity related to a particular couple, so be sure to engage with the entries and support all the artists and writers that chose to join! Reblog, leave likes/kudos and comment on the artworks to keep the fandom alive! 💜💖💕💜💖💕

Day 1 • 18 January (Anniversary!)

Flowers: Orchids are symbols of love, beauty, refinement, fertility, strength and resilience, and mature charm.

Surprise gift!

Handmade by the other

Young, poor and happy together

"I've got a loving wife and a couple of kids at home, that'll do me!"

Day 2 • 19 January

The color: Purple can evoke spirituality, mystery, royalty, imagination, compassion, fantasy, wisdom, creativity and sensitivity.

A kinky gift 😏

Concert tickets

Radio interview

“When you love something, you protect it with your entire life. Right now, my guts tell me to do the same.”

Day 3 • 20 January

Gemstone: Zircon zircon is a talisman of travelers. They count on it to lead to a shelter and show the right way. Plus, it is able to protect from injuries. Women used the gem to ease childbirth, drive away evil spirits, enhance health, get wisdom, and attract good luck.

Rejecting a gift

Torn between options

Dreaming and daydreaming

"You remembered something I’d mentioned a million years ago!"

Day 4 • 21 January

Celebration: Luxury the 49th wedding anniversary is the step right before the big 50, also known as the Golden wedding. All the symbols represent the wealth of experience a couple has after being married for nearly five decades. Two people who are willing to work together and compromise and do all the things that make a marriage successful deserve to celebrate with a bit of Luxury.

Matching pyjamas

Spa experience / Pampering one another

Knowing each other like an open book

"Oh my, this must have been expensive!" "Nothing is expensive enough for you, my love."

What can you do? ✒

You can join with fanfics, edits and moodboards, drawings of all kinds and if you want to sing or play an instrument please feel free to!

The requirements are:

John and Veronica Deacon as the main pairing;

Your love and creativity! 🥰

You can write/draw:

Fics with and without accurate settings and timelines;

Alternative Universes (AU) of any kind and genre, mixed or not with the prompts (ex. Fem!John AU + coffee shop, A/B/O AU + Superpowers);

“What if"s;

Genderswap/genderbending of any kind;

Other Queen members, friends, pairings, family, poly ships (that have to involve both John and Veronica!), OCs, etc…

Fluff, angst, crack, hurt/comfort, action, mystery, sexy times… anything you fancy!

🔥 NSFW is allowed with PROPER TAGS! IMPORTANT note: please interact with NSFW only if you’re +18! 🔞

… and more! If you’re unsure feel free to ask!

We’re here to celebrate John and Veronica Deacon, not to create drama or fights nor to disrespect their privacy. So please be considered about your entries and comments and always try to be respectful to John, to Veronica, to their family and friends, to the people who ship them or ship other couples and to your audience.

HOW to post? 🤔

You can post your entries here on Tumblr, on AO3 and on Instagram, using the hashtag #JohnicaWeek2024 and tagging me.

If you prefer, you can post anonymously on AO3, HERE is an easy guide on how to do it!

If you’re on Tumblr and want to post a fic anonymously please send me a DM and I’ll post it on @johnica-weeks on your behalf, crediting it as Anonymous author! I will also post fics from Anon authors posted on AO3 here on tumblr on Anon's behalf.

🔥 TAG your work APPROPRIATELY! This includes all potential triggers and smut. On Tumblr you can include the appropriate warnings at the top of the fic followed by a "keep reading” cut (you can add it in desktop version AND on mobile by writing :readmore: in a new line!) Also be sure to tag the rating of your fic, the genre and the themes of your story, enough to help the readers!

✨ If you’re still unsure, HERE’s a useful guide on how to tag your works!

As a reader... 📖

If you’re a fan of John, of Johnica or simply like to read fanfictions, positive interactions are always much welcomed! Support the authors by leaving likes, a comment (even a little one!) and sharing their work. On AO3 you don’t need an account to leave Kudos and Comments! (Unless the author has willingly prevented guests to comment). To leave a comment on AO3 you simply have to choose a temporary mail and set your email to get a notification for an eventual reply.

If a work is not tagged appropriately, you can reach out to me via DM and I’ll warn the author. If anything makes you uncomfortable, simply close the work! Do not engage by leaving nasty comments or messaging the author!

🔥 IMPORTANT!!! 🔥

During the event, if any of you/your entries gets hateful comments or messages towards you, your entries, the Johnica ship, the event or other creators, please DELETE the hateful comment/message right away with no interactions and let me know! This is no place for haters, just for creativity and love. If you see a hateful comment on other works do not engage, instead leave a positive comment to the same work and support the author! 💜

Realistic or not, remember that fanfictions are, by definition, FICTIONAL and not meant to be a documentary! There are lots of things we don’t know about John and Veronica’s private lives and don’t want to go in too deeply, gossip or speculate about them, so feel free to fly with your fantasy and let your creativity flow! 😊💖 Most of all… have fun, respect each other and support each other’s works!

Dividers and graphics by @firefly-graphics and @johnica-weeks. As always for any info and question feel free to send an ask or a DM!

My entry into Johnica Week 2024, “You’re My Only One”, is here! I originally wanted to publish this on January 18 for the anniversary, but alas, I couldn’t get it done in time. 😕 So I decided to publish it on Veronica’s birthday instead! 🥰☺️

This is a oneshot fic based on the prompts “Purple”, “Surprise Gifts!”, “Handmade By the Other”, and "Oh my, this must have been expensive!"/“Nothing is expensive enough for you, my love."

18th January 1976: Veronica and John are celebrating their first wedding anniversary at home with their six-month-old son Robert, where Veronica has a big gift prepared for John, but John has an even bigger gift in store for her.

@eileen-crys

For Johnica Week 2023 Day 1, I drew a little 4-panel comic!

Since the theme for today was Johnica inside a fantasy book, I thought it would be funny if they somehow got transported into Alice in Wonderland and John immediately became friends with the hookah-smoking caterpillar. I feel like they’d get along! 😂

Sorry that it’s pretty messy, it was rushed due to the fact that I didn’t start until today (oops). I hope you like it nonetheless and happy Johnica week! :)

[rhyewritersstudio]

For today's fic rec - if you're looking for something to read, why not take a look at this year's Johnica Week fics? They're wonderful ☺️

(I believe the collection is still open if you want to add to it!)

And do take a look at the blog, too -> @johnica-weeks ! ♥️

-Maylor Fic [Teaser for the fic]-

Au Fic - Queen as Camp Counselors At Ridge Farm Summer Camp, mostly a music camp but it has other camp activities and facilities <3

Maylor Summer Romance Fic, MULTI CHAPTER FIC PLANNED OUT!!! since summer isss up and coming, least for me anyway. Maylor is endgame despite the slow ass burn.

Also Jimercury is gonna be a massive ship in this as well, I would have done Deacury but can’t miss the opportunity, now there is SLIGHT deacury at times but Jimecury is the endgame as is Johnica (thought to give everyone the deets of the romances of this story before anything darlings! But the big ship is Maylor duhhh so most of any other ships are minor mentions <3!!

Now before I get an Excerpt out ! Little A/N (I know it’s bloody hated but)

My close friend (who really got me into Maylor in the first place) and I have been writing this for a while, and we are still in production of the first chapter which is around 9k words (beta reading,revising, redoing)

We plan to have the first actual chapter out by February 17,2024

It was HER idea to do this ‘teaser’ and I made the aesthetical ‘poster’ for our story.

(She regrettably will never get tumblr even if I BEG her to so o have to be stuck with this ugh /hj I love this)

But I hope you enjoy our work so far

-Campside Rendezvous Excerpt-

Brian’s hands faltered on the strings of his red guitar, flicking his eyes up at Jim and the blonde next to him, narrowing his eyes with a little smile on his lips, putting his hand out anyway for the blondie, “Didn’t think this was your type of show Roger.”

“Do you two know-“ Jim paused looking between them unsure of how Mr Beach hadn’t mentioned this, maybe Mr. Beach didn’t know either? He would have to ask after he got a few of their female counselors around the camp to their respectable cabins.

“Brimi” Roger sneered and took Brian’s hand in a slight death grip, how annoyingly formal Brian was; it had been a few months since he even saw the tall poodle, ignoring Jim for a second before turning to the Irishman, “we had a college band, till our lead left us gutted.” He added with a slight grimace as he was still pissy about that event no matter how long it had been since then.

“Oh! So … you two being in the same cabin won’t be a problem?” Jim asked, still unsure of their dynamic not with the way Roger still had that grin on his face which was easily reflected in the blond’s blue eyes.

“Not at all.” Brian replied giving a gentle smile hoping to relieve Jim from that worry creeping in his face, ‘ouff’ Brian groaned when Roger basically slung himself against his side nearly causing the guitar to come off his lap. “I didn’t miss this one bit.” Brian mumbled noticing that shit eating grin on Roger’s face, a whole six weeks of this- he reminded himself.

“Yeah you did mate.” Roger replied and kept his eyes on Jim, “ don’t worry. I’ll keep him in check!” He said almost as if he was the responsible, innocent one and gave a sickly-sweet smile seeing that eye roll from his taller friend; seems like this summer got a little more enthusiasm out of Roger with a familiar face around to annoy.

Again this’ll be out February 17,2024 on AO3 under [Asmodeus_Archives]

ME AFTER READING:

I'll Be Seeing You - Johnica Week 2024

Summary: John's touring somewhere in the US. He doesn't exactly care where he is - his mind's on other things.

Her name is Veronica

Written for @johnica-weeks 2024 💕

May 1989, Queen record "An hour of Queen" with Mike Read, to talk about their newest album "The Miracle" and give fans some news about it and about themselves. One question tickles John's interest, and he decides to do a small, romantic gesture.

For Johnica Week 2024, prompt Radio interview, and kinda “When you love something, you protect it with your entire life. Right now, my guts tell me to do the same.”

Ahhh it's been SO LONG since I wanted to write about John saying Veronica is his favourite song at the moment during that interview! Of course this is all fictional, but I always found it very sweet that, in the big indecision about giving one favourite song, he chose the one with his wife's name. He could've said any other song, literally, but he didn't.

I hope you'll enjoy my silly imagine of how the answer came to be!

[carrrothead-vol2]

In which Brian is Hades and Anita Persephone.

This is inspired by the webtoon “Lore Olympus”. I just adore the author’s style!

I imagined older Brian, because part of the plotline is Hades feeling he’s far too old for Persephone. Plus, I could dress him into his fabulous Disney princess coat from the Jubilee performance. Also, Anita as a goddess of spring bringing some light and joy to the lonely god of underworld felt just so fitting!

Thanks @johnica-weeks​ for hosting!

Oil pastel on coloured paper. Those pastels are almost 20 years old! Never properly learned to use them and they’ve been just sitting in the drawer. (That coloured paper is most likely even older, perhaps from the late 80s. I’m like Brian, I never throw anything away)

I’m thinking of reimagining other Queen members as “Lore Olympus” characters, but I haven’t yet figured out who would be who. If you have any suggestions, hit me up!

[blossom-melina-burnickel]

My entry into Johnica Week 2023, “Those Crazy Notions”, is here! This is a oneshot fic based on the prompt “Selecting a Book for the Children”.

November 1985: John and Veronica are enjoying a romantic evening at home despite their recent marital strife. Their intimate time is interrupted by a sick Laura, whom they discover has a rather…unusual attachment to her books.

⚠️Content Warning: There are several mentions of vomit and the act of vomiting in this fic, though I tried not to be too graphic. If you’re squeamish consider yourself warned.

To read, click the link in this post or search for “Blossom_Melina” or the “JohnicaWeek2023” tag on Archive Of Our Own (A03)! 

⚠️Disclaimer: The story shared in this post is a work of fiction and nothing in it should be taken as gospel or proof of real events that occurred. Any real people, places, and events are used fictitiously, and any fictional characters, places, or events are figments of my imagination. I mean no disrespect to any real people used fictitiously; this was written out of love for my favorite band and one of my favorite pairings connected to said band.

Hi dear I hope I'm not bothering you but I was scrolling again through your fics and was wondering if you're up to continue Two Worlds or (specially) August 9th 1973, I really miss you writing Johnica and those fics really had me hooked 🤧 I hope you're doing well! Miss you in general tbh ahah

Hello there, thank you so much for this ask! it's very sweet (and encouraging) that you're letting me know you're interested in my writing and seeing more of what I've started.

If I'm being very honest I can't see me continuing Two Worlds any time soon – perhaps maybe possibly in blurb/note form? or a series of summaries? Basically I have the idea of it in my head as being more like something scripted (almost as though timed to fit the songs?) so that's a super fiddly thing to get right with the pacing -- plus I find narrative prose so unwieldy to grapple with anyway that it feels like it would be a bit of a battle to complete. (My old writing tutor once said that some types of writing come intuitively to him whilst others feel more "costly" -- well, as it stands this project would be almost peak costliness for me and rn I just don't have it in me chief 😬😆😭)

Now Aug 73 on the other hand -- you're in luck there, because I'm much more likely to continue this. I even have a significant portion of it written! I still have the problem of dealing with narrative prose and its unwieldiness because there's lots of physical actions I want to describe (wahey) but I do think it will happen. I'll have another look at it soon :))) I am also so determined to write a surreal and smutty dream fic that's been kicking around in my brain for well over a year now -- and I'd like to add it to the johnica week collection when I eventually produce it -- but I'll manage expectations for now and say that's a future project.

Thank you again for the message, I do miss interacting on here. I lurk sometimes, but increasingly I have a bit of a mental block towards the idea of cheerful posting because of some unhappy things going on in my irl life. It's hard to get past that mental block -- and I often can't -- so then interaction gets more difficult. Perhaps I'll try to get back to queuing posts, I think that might help ❤️

Turntables - Johnica Week 2024

Summary: John and Veronica like to think that their tastes are different, but upon trading a book and a record each week, they find that they have a little more in common than they think.

Notes: Thank you so much for reading this very late submission for Johnica Week Days 1 and 2! I'd like to thank @eileen-crys / @johnica-weeks for hosting!

The Johnica week is getting closer! 🥰💕

Don't forget to check the event's blog to see extra prompts, ideas and to ask anything!

Welcome to the 4th Johnica Week! I can’t believe it’s already the fourth edition and I’m so happy to have still lots of talented artists and writers joining the event and keeping the fandom alive by contributing (also) to the growth of this wonderful couple 🥰💕💕💕

When is the event? 📆

This year’s Johnica Week will be a bit shorter, only four days, in order to keep entries more collected, avoid burnout for those faithful creators who want to challenge themselves and join everyday, and for everyone who loves to read fics but has less time on their hands. The event will start on Sunday 15th January and end on Wednesday 18th January, aka John and Veronica’s 48th wedding anniversary!

Where? 🔎

Here on Tumblr, on AO3 and also on Instagram for visual artists!

📚 > Here will be the AO3 COLLECTION where to post your fics! <

💚 Tag @eileen-crys​ and/or @johnica-weeks​ in your works so I can read, see and share them!

📚 At the end of the event I’ll make a Tumblr masterlist with all the works!

2020 Masterlist | 2021 Masterlist | 2022 Masterlist

The Theme 📚 

You’ve read it right, this year Johnica Week has a theme, linked to the 46th wedding anniversary, that is BOOKS. Like all the prompts, it’s up to you to follow the theme or not, consider it just as a general theme that you could build your entries around. I chose some prompts that might fit this theme, that are about books as physical objects or as idea for an alternative worldbuilding.

How? 🖼
