Francis Rossi (Status Quo) turns 75 today (May 29th).

Quo have embarked on a 40+ date tour of the UK and Europe. In a recent interview on This Morning, Francis discussed the intensive preparation that the whole band had been undergoing, individually and together, in terms of physical fitness and musical rehearsal. He said that next year he's committed to his 'Tunes and Chat' solo touring, and that owing to a number of factors that include his own age and that of Andy Bown (78), this may be the band's final tour.

The current lineup - Francis, Andy Bown, John 'Rhino' Edwards, Richie Malone and Leon Cave.

Doe + Change

Doe expected things to change, but not this much.

She'd always felt more feminine than her brothers, but didn't really have a name for it until Donnie confirmed that she was, in fact, female. Her genius brother had helped her search it up. Transgender. There was a whole community out there like her.

Neat.

Except, they weren't really like her. She was lucky enough to be born in the right body, just raised differently. She didn't have to worry about hormones or surgery or other surface issues like jobs or school. She has her lovely supportive family.

So, fine. Maybe she didn't have a community, but she had her brothers and that was fine!

Until wrestling matches disappeared. And she was given first choice on movie nights even when she lost the arm wrestles or whatever silly little game they decided to play. And when she lost a game and was met with compassion instead of teasing.

It was starting to get annoying.

She already had a rough night, but the thought of Dad letting them go up to the surfact to patrol gave her hope. She could run with her brothers again! They could race! And things would finally be normal again when they realized that nothing actually changed.

A gentle knock on the wall caught her attention. "Hey, Doe? You up?" Mikey asked. Doe frowned. Usually her little brother wouldn't hesitate to barge into her room.

Taking a breath, she plastered a smile on her face and sat up. "Yup! We're going to the surface, right?"

Mikey lit up. He nodded aggressively. "Yup! Yup! Raphie told me to come get you while he gets Donnie!"

Standing up, Doe grabbed her jacket, tugging it loosely over her shoulders. "Was he in his lab late again?"

Shrugging, Mikey stepped to the sided, gesturing for Doe to leave the room while he closed the curtain behind her. "Raphie just said that he'd going to 'drag donnie out of that lab and barricade the door' if he keeps ignoring Raphie's knocks." Mikey lowered his voice to immitate the cadence of their oldest brother.

Trying to ignore the flare of annoyance at not even being allowed to close her own curtain, she chuckled. "Donnie will get back into his lab if it's the last thing he does."

The two youngest turtles made their way into the common area where Raph was tugging a beanie onto a very disgruntled Donnie.

Doe sidled up to the side of her twin and elbowed his side. "Someone wasn't sleeping, huh?"

Donnie just gave her a huff. "Scoff. I was just trying to finish up my newest battle shell."

Raph grumbled and pulled the beanie down over the softshell's eyes. "You went to bed two hours ago. I told you to stop doing that. You need to sleep!"

Fixing his beanie, Donnie glared at Doe. "Well atleast I slept."

Raph gawked and turned to Doe. "You didn't sleep? Why? Are you feeling okay?"

Doe rolled her eyes at the gentle tone her oldest brother adopted. "I slept fine."

"You were sending me memes until about an hour ago," Donnie grumbed. "I have the timestamps."

Trying to lunge at Donnie proved futile when Raph gentley intercepted Doe, setting her down a few feet away from her smug twin. His face was nothing but concern and he gently put a beanie on her head as well. No teasing. No pulling the beanie down. Just concern and gentleness.

Doe just huffed, stuffing her hands in her jacket pockets and pouting.

Raph looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped and turned around, leading the way to the entrance of the lair. "Okay, you all know the rules. Stay close to me and don't run off. Again. Or Raph will be very upset. Again."

"Yes Raph," the three younger turtles agreed and followed Raph out the door and through the tunnels.

The surface was much colder than Doe had though. Her jacket was not thick enough at all, and she had also worn her thinest pair of sweats. Repressing her shivering, she pushed forward. It was fine, she'd be able to warm up once they got moving.

The beginning of the patrol was normal. They bantered. They raced. They jumped around. Then Doe slipped.

She was running to make a leap, slipped on a puddle near the edge of the roof and totally missed the next roof. She grabbed onto a windowsill and hauled herself up, climbing onto the next roof.

"Doe!" Raph had yelled. And even when she pulled herself up, he was looking at her with nothing but concern. He stepped back, getting some momentum to leap onto the rooftop next to Doe. "Are you okay?"

Doe shrugged away from his hands, fixing her coat and beanie herself. The annoyance was turning into irritation. It made her blood itch. "I'm fine Raph."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Mikey and Donnie landed onto the rooftop next to them only a moment later.

Expecting some sort of jab or tease, she turned toward her twin only to be met with concern. "Are your shoulders sore? Do you feel any tension when you move them?"

They were a little sore, but Doe wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of having an actual cause for concern. "What are you, Don? The medic?"

"No. But that looked like it could have potentially hurt."

Doe just rolled her eyes and turned away, planning to continue the patrol.

Raph put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. "I think we should go home."

"What?" Doe hissed. The itching was become unbearable. Her hands twitched, as did her tail.

"You're tired and you're also probably sore, even if you don't feel it."

"I'm fine!"

Raph just groaned and starting to walk back the way they had just come. "Let's go."

Doe fumed. "No! We just go out here. Yeah, sure, fine. I slipped, but I'm fine!" She turned to Mikey and Donnie for support, but they were both angled toward Raph, frowning at her. "Really? Really?! I make one little mistake and suddenly we have to go home?!"

"You got hurt-" Mikey started.

"I'm not hurt! I'm fine! I slipped, I biffed it, took an L -- whatever you wanna call it -- and I'm flattered you guys are concerned about lil ol' me, but really? No teasing? No nothing?" Venom was starting to lace Doe's tone but she couldn't care less. "Gah! Ever since I came out you guys have changed! I just want what we used to have back!"

Raph looked stunned, but took a breath and said in the most annoying calm voice, "I know you're tired, but we're just concerned."

"Gahh!" Doe yelled, throwing her hands in the air. "Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up! I'm sick of this!" She sent a glare at her oldest brother before turning around and running.

Threw this one up on Ao3 :D

it was much longer than i meant it to be... oops

[malk-with-tea]

overwhelmingly warm

[xarciel]

I am thinking about maria beating the shit out of leon

but specifically from the angle of her thinking that he is just some dude

and how funny it is that she just kept trying to kill him and he refused to die for no apparent reason

bc arguably first she tried to turn him into a road pancake. okay, didn't work, that's fine, that wasn't really her giving it her all anyway

but then in the control room first she slams his head into a metal railing twice, beats his head in with a metal pipe, slams him against a wall, and he's still - coherent? still making quips?

so then she tries to strangle him with wires, no go, strangle him with her HAND, bitch is just reaching for his gun??

try to put him in a chokehold - nope

climb on him and attempt to snap his neck with her hands - also no

attempt to snap his neck with her THIGHS - still no???

literally what the fuck is this man made of

[simping-for-joe]

Leon huffs out a sigh as he looks over the plans, how the hell was he going to do this?

"Leon?" A voice gets his attention, and his head snaps back to see Ethan standing in the doorway.

"Close the door!" The agent shouts, the man raises an eyebrow but does as asked.

"Should I be worried?" Ethan asks, his eyes scanning the room and looking for anything out of place.

"I..." Leon huffs out and hands the instructions to the other man. Ethan looks it over quickly.

"Is this a treehouse?"

"Yeah... I thought it would be a good idea for Rose." Ethan smiles at his boyfriend before kissing his cheek.

"You know, Rose is going over to a friend's house for a sleepover. We can work on it then." The younger man offers with a gentle hand on the other man's shoulder.

"Thanks, Eth."

"Yeah, but also, did you actually think you could make this all on your own?"

"You underestimate me... and I was going to call Chris..."

"I question if you two could have handled it," Ethan replies with narrowed eyebrows.

"Chris probably would have gotten mad the instructions were telling him what to do." Leon jokes, getting a laugh from the other man. Causing a bigger smile to come to his lips, watching his partner laugh and grin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, how was the sleepover?" Ethan asks as Rose gets into the car with her backpack and sleeping bag.

"It was okay... they had weird drinks." She mentions, confusing her father. "I mean, like they didn't have regular coke. They had like vanilla," she sticks out her tongue, getting a laugh from the man.

"Well, I hope you at least had fun."

"I did," she replies happily. She was chatting with her dad when she suddenly clams up.

"Rose?"

"Is this our house?" She asks with a confused look.

"What do you mean?" Ethan chuckles as he unbuckled his seatbelt and exits the car. "I think Leon finished the last couple of details." Rose rushes out of the car and up to the treehouse through their gate to the backyard. She runs up to what used to be an empty pair of trees, now there was a wooden structure.

"You like it?" A voice gets her attention. She turns to see a familiar man.

"Uncle Chris? Was this your idea?" She asks with shock, to which he shakes his head.

"Nope, it was all Leon."

"I think that's everything," Leon's voice gets her attention as he uses the ladder to exit the treehouse. "When is Rose-"

"Thank you! Thank you!" He is in shock when suddenly the girl hugs him tightly. "You're the best dad ever!" Rose adds before running up the ladder. He just lets his mouth fall open, as Chris chuckles patting his shoulder. Before heading to talk with Rose.

"You okay?" Ethan asks the man softly, approaching his boyfriend.

"Y-yeah, just happy," Leon reassures the other man, and the younger man grabs his hand. Resting his head on his shoulder as they watch Rose explore the new structure.

leon whump concept:

leon's chasing down a science nerd who's of course, under suspicion of being involved with bioweapon manufacturers.

he's not going to shoot this person because, well... he needs them alive. not being attacked, they need to face justice and being interrogated, all that.

they're in these tunnels. tunnels hand-dug for this operation. leon's hot on their tail, so whatever tricks they pull aren't working. he catches up whatever they do.

until the tunnels open up. some fancy details here about the smell and look. it's an old mine. this was an old mining town.

chase continues, and leon doesn't think about the switch from dust to wood until the thing collapses. and the suspect falls about a hundred feet and gets impaled on a stalagmite.

leon got lucky. he managed to clumsily ensnare himself on the old line for the lights that ran through here. until it snaps.

he has say... two or so seconds to think. bleed out on the stalagmites, splatter on the cave floor (or disappear into a crevasse he can't see), or... the split second decision has him use whatever leverage he has to swing towards the underground lake.

no time to think about the depth. about what lives inside. about any metal toxicity leached into the water. he doesn't remember the hit anyway.

and when his eyes open again, he sees the light from above in a red haze before the cloud of silt blinds him. all he knows in that moment is agony.

he doesn't remember what happened. he can't quite recall who he is, but he knows danger. danger is what got him here.

the lake is hot. warm. a geothermal hot spring that never made it to the surface. he never wants to leave...

when the dso comes looking for him, they find the cavern. the find the body of their suspect. but no leon. they do, however, see in the distant edge of the lake, shimmering lights.

MYSTERY ASIDE -> leon is able to evade death from the bioweapon bacteria something or other living in the hot spring. without this, he would've drowned with a broken neck (and broken spine and legs and pelvis (pelvis breaks are intense and can absolutely easily lead to death) and skull and-). but this thing heals him. and because it's highly adaptable and leon fell into the lake, he becomes a cave salamander man. or maybe axolotl like. glowy slimey/scaley feral man!

Some very recent and great quality audience sound and vision from Status Quo's European tour, December, 2022 (Hanover, Germany).

Francis is sounding fantastic here, at the grand age of 73, the band is tight as ever, and the they all look like they are having as much fun as the audience.

HAPPY PRIDE!!

okokokok i know y’all want crumbs cough cough @dollrxst​ @myeowza​ COUGH COUGH so here is a very small snippet of something permanent pt. 3

:)

Your heart sank into your stomach at the sound of a car door slamming shut. You froze in your tracks.

It's just the neighbors. It's just the neighbors. It's just the neighbors, you tried reassuring yourself, planting the dining room chair in the squishy grass right up against the fence.

But then you heard the unmistakable sound of the front door swinging open so hard it banged into the wall.

Oh god. Oh fuck.

Hurriedly, you climbed atop the dining room chair, knees wobbling, trying so hard to convince yourself you were just imagining the heavy, nearing footsteps behind you. Body numb with adrenaline, you gripped the top of the fence and hoisted yourself up, planting one foot against the rough wood to help push yourself up and over when a strong hand closed around your other ankle with a vice grip, yanking you down from where you stood.

You screamed as you fell to the cold, hard ground, hoping someone would hear you, but Leon was quick to scoop you up against his chest and clamp his hand over your mouth.

"Where do you think you're going, doll?" He asked, not one bit of sympathy in his tone. He was squeezing your body so tightly in his arms that it genuinely hurt. You almost worried he would crush your bones.

[leonkittysaitl]

won't ever forget when i was at hawks vs oilers game and the guys behind me (hawks fans) were yapping loudly the whole game and spent a good five minutes straight just talking about how bad leon's posture is <3 so true, so real <3
