[kevin drabble] queen

and nowwwww a birthday present for my beloved @queenkevindays inspired by your url <3 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! hope you enjoy our beloved little history nerd kevin making some life-changing decisions <3 📚 read it on ao3

"Chess originated in India as chaturanga, where the piece equivalent to the queen had limited movement. However, as the game spread to Europe during the Middle Ages, the role of the queen expanded dramatically, reflecting the growing recognition of the political and military capabilities of queens in the real world. By the late 15th century..."

The words swam around the page and Kevin Day's fingers twitched around the bottle of whisky he was holding, more for comfort than any real desire to drink. To know he could if he wished to. Shifting his legs on the couch, he pressed his foot flat against the end and flipped the page until the words 'the king' cut through the haze of learning and Riko's manic grin flooded his vision.

It was usual for his breath to hitch whenever he thought about Riko and the ravens, but this time it was more quickly replaced by the quiet roaring anger that had been simmering all year with the help of the homicidal, suicidal idiots he surrounded himself with on the daily, and he shoved the thought off his mind determinedly, returning his attention to the page.

"—while the king remains crucial, his limited movement in chess can be seen as representing the burden of sovereignty—whereas the queen, free to act decisively, epitomises the adaptability and strategic advantage that many real-life queens wielded to secure their dominions."

At this, he paused. Shifted again and flicked his eyes back up the page.

The queen, free to act decisively.

Riko again, the number one on his face taunting him, prodding at him. "Say it," he demanded in his head. "Call me king."

The words swam in front of his eyes as wild, manic notions flooded his thoughts.

Free. Adaptability. Strategic advantage.

He went back over the previous paragraph with hunger behind it now.

"This historical dynamic finds a striking parallel in the game of chess, where the queen is represented as the deadliest and most powerful piece on the board."

The deadliest piece on the board. Kevin dropped the bottle onto his side and sat up, hands trembling with nervous anticipation as he started rummaging around the desks for a marker, something he hadn't done in years. Not since he was a child. Making his way to the bathroom, he lugged the book with him and held it up next to the mirror for reference as he carefully, focusing hard on keeping his left hand steady, traced over the mark on his face, splotchy and not very accurate, until it was altogether concealed behind the very recognisable shape of a chess piece.

The marker clattered onto the sink on top of the book as Kevin leaned closer towards the mirror, letting his forehead drop onto the cool surface of it and his breath shook as he drew it in slowly. Determination coursed through his blood as his fingers dug into the sink.

And privately, just to be sure, just for himself, he opened his eyes to face his new reflection and whispered, "Call me queen."

sabrina my dear i gotta ask if you still listen to stray kids?

not really. i haven't really been listening to them for about 1,5 years now which is insane because they were my most listened to artist in 2021, 2022 and 2023 (this one was thanks to me hyperfixating on most skz-replay songs)

rashfcrd -> queenkevindays

had to change my url back to my fave fictional sportsperson instead lmao

even kevin was going to come out of this on top. he wasn’t going to fade into obscurity like tetsuji and riko thought he would; he would ride the foxes’ resurgence to the top and reclaim his place in the spotlight.

happy birthday, faatimah! ♡ [@queenkevindays]

palmetto state foxes: #2 kevin day – striker

“your target is not the goalkeeper: it is the goal itself. goalkeepers change every week. no two have the same strengths or styles. why obsess over besting one man when it has no effect on the rest? perfect your own performance and it won’t matter who is in goal.”

(special delivery for @pipandrooney)

🥰

Your name has too many extra letters.  Its equivalent in Turkish is Fatma and I don’t see what the additional letters are doing except to confuse me every time I try and type it.  Also who the fuck is Kevin Day? I have no clue what this man does or who he is but I do not trust him.

[starfire-s]

ok i’ve picked absolutely random numbers but 3,11,27,34,46,55,62

3 - who do you want to be with right now?

hmm probably my best friend because even though we’re introverts isolation has been so difficult for us!!

11 - why did you create a tumblr account?

I first joined tumblr when I was 13 and it was just trendy at the time everyone had a blog in middle school so I made one too... I was also so proud of it that I linked it to all my social media accounts.. I would never do that now

27 - who was the last person you hugged?

I’m not much of a hugger (physical contact isn’t my thing it makes me feel awkward) so I cannot remember who the last person I hugged was!! I think it’s also been a while since I hugged someone lmao

34 - what do you prefer jeans or skirt?

jeans! I own so many jeans and basically no skirts!

46 - describe your dream wedding

haha having one?? nah I’m joking but I really badly want a proper desi wedding that’s completely over the top but I have no specifics mapped out at all

55 - do people praise you for your looks?

hmm yeah I think so? lmao

62 - if you can change anything about yourself, what is it?

honestly looks wise nothing but personality wise... everything! I wish I was just less awkward like I’m such an awkward person irl and I don’t know how to stop ashdjsj

[jeaanmoreau]

#shhdjdkskdl LMAOOOOO#arti your brain!!!!

@queenkevindays listen dude... i know okay. i know. it's broken. i regret nothing

there is something hilarious to me about the visual of riko & jean at the supermarket standing in the hair aisle holding up like a childhood picture of nathaniel wesninski and crouching down to try to match the right colour to dye neil's when he was at evermore

"no, jean, it's auburn not copper christ"

"this says we're going to need to bleach it somewhat first or it won't hold..."

"okay well get that then, and maybe some gloves or something..."

"is this giving too mahogany brown? i want it to be dramatic"

[nanihirunkits]

heyyy sabrina i was wondering if you take gif requests?? xx

hiii faatimah!! yes, i do take gif requests 👀. xx

[parisakamali]

war doesn’t start with violence, it starts with misunderstanding and prejudice. if you say you’re in favour of a world full of peace, you have to try to understand why others think and act the way they do. you have to accept that not everyone sees the world the way you do. you can’t just believe that everyone has the answers to what is right and wrong. 

(belated) happy birthday, christeen! ♡ [@sennedesmitten]

palmetto state foxes: #3 andrew minyard – goalkeeper

andrew had nearly killed four men for assaulting nicky and would have broken allison’s neck for hitting aaron, but when it came to crimes against his own person andrew couldn’t care less. he held his life in less regard than did anything else.

list 5 things that make you happy, then send this to the first 10 people on your dash 💖

Manchester United winning games by a 3 goal margin any goal margin tbh give me a 1-0 win and i will still be happy

Iced lattes!  The hardest part of lockdown was the utter lack of iced lattes in my life but now they are back.

The sea.  When I stand on the beach with waves battering the shoreline and in front of a vast blue as far as the eye can see...that is when my soul knows peace.

My friends and select members of family.

On this note I melt inside every time i get to hang out with my baby siblings

BONUS: Marcus Rashford smiling -- his smile is a wholeass sun the world revolves around.
