Where this blog goes next

For a really long time, I've been wanting to create a fanmade X-Men team composed of exclusively queer mutants- and now, I figured since I already have this blog, why not let tumblr decide?

So what I've done, is created 7 spots on the team, based on each characters power and skill set, and grouped a bunch of characters together for a singular poll for each spot. Before the polls go out, I'm going to make a little propaganda post for each person in the group, to make sure everybody knows who is who, and why they should vote for them!

This is only including people who are out as queer in universe, so even though Gabby has been implied to be queer, and Kate has been confirmed to be bi, neither of them are really "out" in their respective universes yet, so they couldn't really be on the team yet.

Here are the groups:

Askani | Rachel Summers

Negasonic Teenage Warhead | Ellie Phimister

Leo Eng

Alef Chernekhov

The Powerhouse

Iceman | Bobby Drake

Rictor | Julio Richter

Sophie Ellis-Bextor reacts to Saltburn full-frontal scene

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/sophie-ellis-bextor-reacts-to-saltburn-full-frontal-scene/

Sophie Ellis-Bextor reacts to Saltburn full-frontal scene

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has responded to and recreated the Murder On The Dancefloor scene from wild British film Saltburn – with clothes on – to ring in the new year.

Emerald Fennell’s gothic psychological thriller about privilege and queer desire has been streaming on Prime Video for just over a week.

Over the holidays, viewers’ reactions to certain scenes within the bonkers flick send it viral.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s signature song Murder On The Dancefloorfeatures in Saltburn's final scene. Barry Keoghan’s Oliver is seen dancing around the titular stately British estate completely naked, with Sophie’s song playing.

@sophieebtiktok Heading into 2024 like… Happy Saltburn New Year! Xx #murderonthedancefloor #sophieellisbextor #saltburnmovie ♬ sophs awful edit thats gone viral – sophie

And with absolutely everyone watching Saltburn, the singer thanked everyone as streams of her song exploded in the final weeks of 2023.

Wow.. thank you for all the Murder love. Happy new year! Xx https://t.co/8D6Z8G0kcf

Sophie Ellis-Bexter reacts to Murder on the Dancefloor nude scene

Sophie Ellis-Bextor previously said that the scene uses the song in the “most brilliant and memorable way.

The British singer told People she approved the song after receiving an outline, but still “wasn’t quite prepared for the visual”.

“Seeing it written down as a premise is different,” she said.

“I mean, Barry really went for it. And it’s, like, the whole song! He’s never going to be able to hear that in the same way again.

“And every time he’s out and that comes on, people are going to think he’s going to strip off!”

Image: Prime Video

Sophie Ellis-Bextor explained that typically, “whenever your music’s used, you get a little synopsis”.

“So I saw Emerald’s name connected to the project and I already was familiar with her and how talented she is. I’ve seen [her 2020 film] Promising Young Woman and really enjoyed it,” she said.

“This little synopsis described how the character would be dancing, but I didn’t have any context.

“I’ve got quite a quirky sense of humour anyway, so I was like, I think I have to see how this plays out.

“I didn’t really know exactly how it would play in terms of the role it was in the movie until I saw it at the screening, but I absolutely loved it.”

Saltburn – with its killer soundtrack – is available to stream in Australia and worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.

In Our 30s - Four

New Year's Day

Erin woke up in her bed (thankfully!) popping her head up and seeing Clare and Orla laying on her bed. She slowly got up from bed, seeing James and Michelle sleeping on the floor.

She shuffles down the stairs in the house she now shares with Liz, Soph and Ellie from her first year. Those three girls were her friends, but unlike her Derry Girls - they were her family.

She went down the stairs, seeing someone laying on the sofa snoozing.

Erin looks confused at the human-shaped lump, hearing the floorboards creaking on the staircase. She pulled her gaze away from the sofa lump to see James wandering along the corridor and towards the kitchen, followed by Ellie.

"Who's the fella belong to?" Erin whispers when James and Ellie are within earshot.

James is taken back to his first school day in Derry, hanging behind Michelle as a confused Englishman looking around the country he had never stepped foot in until his mother carted him to Ireland.

"I have no idea," Ellie said, shrugging her shoulders - as did James.

They eventually learned the fella currently sleeping on the sofa was someone Lisa had brought home and then abandoned on the sofa.

Everything was silent and awkward between James and Erin for the past year after Erin decided to let him go. Even though she had told him to move on and find someone else.

But neither have them have found a date since New Year's Eve/Day of 1998/99.

Hi! Content creator appreciation: list five favorite sets you've made and send this ask to five other content creators!

thanks my love!!! 💖💖 i got this ask four times so i seperated them in different themes i guess. this one will be about what the ask actually is about lol my faves. again mostly lucifer lol you can find the other answered asks here, here and here!

CASTLE - mmc asked by ellie - and i owe her for doing so because i really like the colouring and typography. early relationship caskett give me a lot of feelings and it reminded me why i love them post relationship just as much as i do them before

LUCIFER - annalise's birthday set - i guess the fact that u also wanted to use that quote for my birthday last year makes this set sm better. the blendings are my fave thing lol

LUCIFER - deckerstar pretending not to be in love is one of my favourite things ever

LUCIFER - deckerstar + a thousand years - it's my fave bc i think this is the only set i can say i literally love everything abt. one of my first tries to blend and I LOVE how it looks, i love all the scenes i chose, the lyrics fit so well and the colouring in all gifs is so similar which is hard to achieve when u use loads of different scenes

LUCIFER - soph's birthday set - ik i also mentioned this set in one of the other asks but it's SERIOUSLY my fave set. it was challenging yes but i've looked at it so many times and still think it's the best creation made by me lol

_________________________

sophia.

My roommate’s name was Ellie, from Los Angeles. We only texted a little before move-in day at Langston, and I really hoped we would get along. My older brother had told me horror stories about his freshman roommate, some of which I believed, most which I guessed he made up to scare me. Still, those stories had taken root in my mind and I found myself with a little more than first-day anxiety as mom fussed over the fitted bed sheet and position of the throw pillows in my new room. 

“Hi” a soft voice spoke from the door and I turned around quickly to greet the girl in the doorway. Her hair was pulled back and I squealed as I noticed her Langston sweatshirt, gesturing at the identical one I was wearing. She laughed at that, and to her surprise I launched forward to give her a hug. She only tensed for a moment before hugging me back, and with the ice seemingly broken we settled comfortably into unpacking and setting up the room.

I felt definitively uncool as my mom chattered on and on, immediately conscious of the fact that Ellie apparently didn’t need her mom to make her bed for her. I caught her a couple of times smiling softly at my mom with a longing look in her eyes I couldn’t quite place and I wondered what she thought of me. 

Ellie certainly didn’t seem to have as much stuff as I did, and certainly not my plant habit that was rapidly turning into an addiction. The only thing she set on her desk was a framed photograph which she removed from a box full of tissue paper with great care, running a hand quickly over the glass before setting it down. I snuck a look at it as I pushed a succulent into her hands, insisting that she have something else to liven up her side of the room.

She and an unusually attractive boy, both dressed in formal attire, stared fiercely into the camera as if daring someone to oppose them, his arm wrapped protectively around her. His eyes were dark and powerful, while hers were full of a righteous fury and passion that seemed both completely out of place and extraordinarily natural on her features.

Ellie and I spent that night and the next few weeks getting to know each other. We bonded over both being from the West Coast, though Tacoma is very different from LA. She was smart, though she had the air of a student who wasn’t used to being surrounded by people at her level. We had no classes together but it was easy to fall into the rhythm of studying together in the library or student union building every night. I was so lucky to have her for the transition to college, and I hoped she felt the same.

She wanted stories about my siblings, my parents, the plays I’d been in during middle school, and I was more than happy to talk without realizing that I was learning very little about her in return. Still, I managed to pick up on some things. She spun her charm bracelet when she got excited about something, and fiddled with some strange object on a chain around her neck when she thought no one was looking, a far-away look on her face. 

For a girl who owned so many leather jackets and an apparently very impressive car (The only thing I care about less than cars are the Kardashians and essential oils) she was surprisingly sweet and funny, enough that I was shocked the first time I saw her in short sleeves.

“Is that a real tattoo?” I exclaimed, not giving her time to answer. “That is so cool. I really wanted one when I was 16 and my sister told me she’d poke me with a needle for free. What is it? A wolf? Badass. Do you have a whole pack of them?”

She laughed and pulled a jacket on. “It’s a lone wolf, I’m afraid. Ran away from its pack.”

I’m a light sleeper which I always considered a curse in a house full of noisy siblings, but I was glad of it the first time I woke up in the middle of the night to a scream, sleepily flicking on the light to see her writhing in her bed. I threw back the covers and sat down on her bed, gently shaking her shoulder until she woke up gasping, nails digging into my arm. For just a moment I swore I could see the ghosts of great flames in her eyes, fading back into embers as she realized where she was. 

I wrapped my arms around her and she sat still for a few long moments before squeezing my arm and standing up. 

“I think… I think I’m going to go for a drive. Thank you Soph.” I wanted to wait up for her but I fell asleep on top of my sheets. 

The nightmares happened again, and then again. Some nights she would just curl back into the blankets, or open the window before falling back to sleep. 

And some nights she would grab the keys from her nightstand and leave without a word. I’d be asleep before she came home, or maybe she never came back to bed those nights. Maybe she drove until the morning sun stretched her fingers above the horizon and began her slow crawl to the other side.

ellie.

When I left LA, it felt like the ending of a story. The closing of a book. But I’m starting to realize life doesn’t work like that. Nobody gets happy endings or tidy conclusions. Life just… keeps going. And it’s up to us whether we can stay afloat or get lost in the riptide, losing ourselves in the memories and regrets. 

Don’t get me wrong, nothing could take away the magic of stepping out of my car at the place I had dreamed about since I was old enough to dream, completely and terrifyingly on my own. No curfew, no explanations needed. I could reinvent myself. It would be a brand new start. But as I subconsciously ran a hand over the smooth hood of my Widow I remembered the first time I had seen her, sleek and dangerous and mine in Kaneko’s shop, how the leather of the seats smelled like home, and I knew forgetting wasn’t an option. And maybe I didn’t want it to be.

I had never shared a room with anyone, unless you count sleepovers with Riya or the week I spent in Logan’s loft above the shop. But Sophia made it feel like I’d been missing out. She was kind and open and welcoming from the moment I stepped in the room. She was brilliant, too, even for Langston standards which were far above what I was used to at Mar Vista Prep. I quickly realized that there would be little time to fully appreciate the lack of parental control given my heavy workload. 

I had a couple classes with Ingrid and was surprised by how happy I was to see her. I needed to get out of LA but it would always be the place I was from and she represented a piece of my past. A reminder of a time in my life that I might have convinced myself never really happened if not for her. We were friendly and the fun kind of competitive, but didn’t hang out much outside of class, though I felt that either one of us would be happy to if the other one asked. I made a lot of acquaintances very quickly, a few of which turned tentatively into friends, but I mostly hung out with Soph when I wasn’t in class.

My dad and I talked nearly every day for the first couple weeks, which gradually turned into every weekend. We never talked for long, classes were “going well”, work was “busy”. I loved him, of course, but I found it hard to shake the image of him pointing a gun at the man I loved, face tight with bitter fury. 

I knew Colt was still in LA, and I hesitantly tried to inquire about the specifics of my dad’s latest assignments. He must have figured what my real question was because he got quiet for a moment then said “I think it’s best if we don’t talk about that. Best to leave it in the past.”

I didn’t mention it again, or ask about Mona which had been my next idea. But it was hard to leave Logan in the past when I’d spent so much time seeing him as my future. I texted his number a couple times even though I knew he’d no longer have it, pitiful ‘I love you’s when I felt so lonely it was hard to breathe. 

At night my fingers would trace the places his had until the memories of his rough hands on my body were blurred with my own and I was no longer sure if he had ever touched me at all. If not for the spark plug I wore around my neck and the picture of us at prom I kept next to a succulent Soph had given me, I wouldn’t be sure he ever existed at all. 

I was ok most of the time and on occasion, I wasn’t. I cried sometimes and I didn’t even know why. I grew to fear lying in bed because the thoughts threatened to crush me, my brain forcing myself to relive every moment of that spring and asking me what I should have done differently. And when I finally, finally got to sleep I had nightmares. 

Jason looming over me, larger than life, hands reaching out as my feet stuck to the ground, my car nowhere to be seen. Or a blazing inferno on the bridge, Colt’s screams of pain and grief pounding in my ears, his face twisted in an agony I could have prevented. Kaneko’s voice a whisper in my skull “Once you’ve made your choice it is made. You hold true until the end.” 

The fire from the explosion spreads, higher and farther than I remember it, the flames taking Jason’s shape, and my father’s, consuming me completely until I wake up, sweating and throat hoarse with Sophia’s soft hands on my shoulder. 

Sometimes I can get back to sleep, but sometimes I know I won’t be able to. On those nights I grab my keys and run down to my Widow, no jacket so I can feel the wind on as much of my body as possible. At that hour the streets are sleepy and I can make it to the freeway in 10 minutes. And as the lights passing by turn into stars, spinning above my head, I drive. And in that moment I can hear their laughter, their whoops and cheers. In that moment, as I fly into the night... I’m not alone.

Ellie you beautiful angel, can I ask why you don't have a taglist? I'm just curious i love you 🥺💗

hi soph 🥺 1) i love you sm 2) i don’t run a taglist solely because i’m beyond scatterbrained, and i always forget someone, if i don’t forget the taglist entirely. i ran a taglist for 3h and selfishly, i decided that life is just not for me. aside from that, i guess i always think of a taglist as something that someone who posts often has—i’m not writing regularly for the time being, so i’d hate to add someone to my taglist and disappoint them because i don’t post full fics all that often. the logic is most certainly not waterproof, but i guess that’s just me 🥴 if i ever write another series/a part two for something, i’ll do a taglist, but for one shots, i keep it pretty simple
