#velvet goldmine fanfic

[emthejedichic]

New installment of my one-shot collection is up! On AO3 and Squidge.

Summary: The moment Mandy realized what was really going on with Brian and Curt.

[tenderandalsotired]

just wrote a fic when curt, in his late 50s, has a fight with strangers on the internet because they talk trash on arthur.

Guys I literally love writing fanfic like it’s so fun.

Excited to say I am in making of another velvet goldmine fic!!!!

This post from @holy-loki inspired me to write this, even if it's not the same theme I wanted to share it anyway.

I've been thinking about after the orgy scene, Brian and Curt alone, and wondering who was the one to sit up on the bed, grab the other's hands look him into the eyes and say "Let's go away, just us alone, for a little while" and the other chuckles, telling him "We have a concert in a few days, where can we go?" so he responds "I don't know, it doesn't matter, I just want to have you all for myself, no band, no stages, no interviews, no flashing cameras, just us" and the other seeing how serious he is simply nods his head and they start grabbing whatever, packing a bag and jumping on the first taxi they see.

I'm leaning more into it being Brian, since he's the one that wakes first and leaves the message, but then that means that even after being the one wanting such an intimate getaway he still abandons Curt later during the recording session, this would add a lot to Brian's cruelty towards Curt, even after everything they've been through he still picks the company over him. On the other hand, if Curt was the one to suggest to leave it's even sadder for him, Curt wanting something real out of the relationship, some time to be themselves together, but Brian is still just in love with his image (even giving him the pin), so it would be Curt the one who's clearly more involved in this relationship, making it a relationship doomed from the start. In both cases this tender scene becomes super angsty after Brian's betrayal of Curt, so time to add it onto the list of Brian's crimes.

Rush by Troye Sivan is now my personal soundtrack to the disco scene of "In Berlin". Curt, Mandy, and Jack dancing in Berlin on a poppers high to the tune of a housey queer poppers-influenced bop is exactly what I want.

I don't know about other people, but that teaser made me feel sooo much better about s3, i haven't always liked every decision the show has made, but I feel like they really do understand the core of why people like TVL. Like the opening monologue being that cheesy anne rice opening from the books, like they get it!

I never really found it cheesy, I think it "became" cheesy when that one fanfic copied it... but yes, I think they managed to hit the nail on the head. Velvet Goldmine, Hedwig, Rocky Horror... and allllll the influences Rolin called on the panel. A whole tour. A whole album.

And Lestat, "taking the show hostage" :))))

GOD WE ARE IN FOR A TREAT!!!

[marley-manson]

getting to know mutuals!

tagged by @nimuetheseawitch, thank you!

what's the origin of your blog title?

Lyric from the song that my URL is also obliquely from, which had the right vibes for a blog about an obsession

otp(s) + shipname(s):

I'm not sure I understand the phrasing of this, why are otps and shipnames separate? But here's a list of some of my current favourite ships, like if I've sought out fic or thought about them much in the last few months:

hawktrap, hawnk, beejhawk, griffguts, Xena/Gabrielle, Dan/Herbert, Fraser/Ray V, Shauna/Melissa, wangxian, xuexiao, xiyao, and Cassie/Aftran because I did read a couple fics and chatted about them recently lol.

favourite colour:

Green!

song stuck in your head:

Drive by Melissa Ferrick lol, idk why, I just woke up with it in my head today

weirdest habit/trait:

Weirdness is in the eye of the beholder, I really don't know what's most weird about me lol. Probably the fact that I write and read fanfic honestly.

hobbies:

Writing, vidding, thinking too much about movies and tv, embroidery

if you work, what's your profession?

Taping, aka interior finishing, a stage of construction

if you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

Cashier but I make $50 an hour

something you're good at:

Analyzing gay subtext.

something you hate:

Mentally throwing a dart at a big list: sanding (as part of my job.) I used to not mind it, but ever since my sinuses started acting up the dust has become a trigger. I wear a mask ofc but even breathing in the little bit left in the air during breaks will fuck me up for a day or two.

something you collect:

Nothing really, I pretty much only buy useful things.

something you forget:

I feel like I generally have a pretty good memory, but forgetting past conversations probably bugs me the most. Like, did I mention this to you or someone else? Have I told this story before? Have I asked you this before? Was there something you mentioned last time we talked that I was going to follow up on and forgot? I try to be an active listener as much as I can but it's inevitable that some things fall through the cracks I guess.

what's your love language:

I'm not a fan of treating it as a psychologically valid sorting hat thing lol, but out of the options my fave is quality time. I like to go out and do things with people, it's a big reason idt I could be in a long distance relationship.

favourite movie/show:

Velvet Goldmine

favourite food:

Turkey dinner. Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, various sides, etc. But only home cooked.

favourite animal:

Idk, maybe snakes.

what were you like as a child:

Stubborn, argumentative, confident, physical. I played with the boys at recess a lot for the first few years of elementary school, followed a kid I had a crush on around in kindergarten lol, got into arguments about things like girl colours vs boy colours eg, etc. I was awesome as a kid.

favourite subject at school:

English.

least favourite subject:

If we're talking grade school, high school biology. I thought I'd love it but then found myself preferring chemistry and physics, idk. If we're talking uni, fucking Latin and French, both of which I tried for the language requirement and failed >:(

what's your best character trait?

Honestly I like most things about myself, I feel like I have a healthy ego and that's a good character trait itself. But as for something I've had feedback on: according to multiple friends I'm chill and non-judgemental in a way that lets people relax and feel comfortable around me.

what's your worst character trait?

I'm too passive, and therefore bad at pursuing positive life changes and staying in touch with people.

if you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

Living in Vancouver instead of here.

if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

No idea, this isn't something I've ever thought about or have any interest in lol, I'm not a history person or someone who wants to talk to famous people.

Whatever Alex Wants (Alex Gets)

Alex Law/Arthur Stuart

Tag(s) : Alternate Universe, Crossover Pairing, Teasing, Crossdressing

Word Count : 372

A man in his late 30s shouldn’t be this cute.

“Why did you make that face? you, of all people, shouldn’t be surprised by this,” said Alex, lazing on the sofa in the living room and watching Arthur who stood silently before him. He tried not to smile at his adorable petulant face.

A man in his late 30s shouldn’t be this cute.

He wouldn’t have acted in this way if Alex had dressed as usual. But he purposely wore a black sequin dress and dangle earrings; he finished this look with red lips and blue eyeshadow. He called Arthur to come to see him after all had been done. 

“So, what are you going to do with me?” The corner of his mouth curled as Alex teased. His hand that was on the dress hem raised it little by little, revealing his thighs.

Of course, Arthur rushed to Alex and stopped this action immediately, making his face as stern as much as he could from someone that was born with such a lovely face. “Stop it! Stop messing with me!”

But Alex knew he didn’t mean it. He always said something like this, then kept coming back for more.

When a crack appeared, he seized this opportunity to get the other man. Alex leaned forward to bring his face close to Arthur’s face, so close that he could feel his breath, and licked the curve of his lips.

Arthur jumped immediately. He drew back from him, but a misstep took him to the floor. He now looked like some frightened baby animal.

Alex walked toward Arthur and straddled him, arms wrapping around his neck so tightly. He placed a kiss on his cheek that reddened like an apple, leaving a kiss mark on it.

“What about- what about your friends?” One more try to escape. Laughable. Alex squashed that silly thought in Arthur's head. He whispered in his ear with a deep and sultry voice. “Juliet’s on the night shift while David has to work late today. But… if you feel uncomfortable doing it here, you can carry me to my room.”

It was the first time in his life that someone carried him like a bride. And the entire time of it, all the way to his room, he was giggling.

maybe this is a 'hot take' for which i apologize but. i feel like fanart is a big aspect of this too- how different even is it to make 'rpf' of gerards stage characters as opposed to fanart of it. it's essentially only a different medium. keeping it separate from gerard (Person In Reality Who Has A Life) outside of (character he made up to have fun with) can also easily be an invitation for fans to have fun with it too. which is why a healthy relationship with it can and does bring good things. in theory i mean. ive never seen an mcr fanfic i really liked but :p

yeah i see what you mean, it's one of the reasons that the step from tumblr (or twitter) fandom to the ao3 tag feels like. quite an arbitrary place to draw the line? as if the same thoughts and behaviours are fine right up into they're intentionally put to prose - but images or even comics are okay, textposts discussing their emotions and states of mind as extrapolated from live shows or song lyrics, putting research into constructing timelines of their lives or compiling facts about them as people - even writing (sometimes quite detailed) sexually explicit posts/tags about them is common around here. i do a lot of these things too - i'm not saying they're inherently wrong or bad - but i genuinely don't see how they're any less prone to being disrespectful or invasive or comically removed from reality than a writer putting them in a situation lol. they all involve some level of assumption, scrutiny, and interpretation.

there are definitely valid arguments to make against engaging with rpf in a fandom sense! i totally respect that, and it's something i felt kind of ashamed/guilty about when i first got into mcr, so i understand the reservations. it's just that...the way i see it, i truly think those arguments just as reasonably apply to so much of what happens in any fandom involving real people. behaviours that are extremely common and far from unique to the online fan spaces of today, to the point where avoiding them is a more conscious decision than engaging in them. i respect if people do make that choice, but...that isn't any of us who are running mcr fanblogs yk? haha.

anyway yeah. i agree with you anon, i reckon most people's definition of what does and doesn't entail rpf is just a lot narrower than the reality. there's a lot of extremely beautiful, highly-skilled emotive fanart out there, for which i'm so appreciative! i 100% don't mean it as an insult when i say those often a different kind of rpf. so are the emotive posts about how much this tour means to all the guys, how happy they are, how much they love each other and how they're all friends. i'm not saying these things are untrue, i'm just saying they absolutely don't paint an unbiased holistic picture of real human beings and their genuine emotional states hahaha. neither does fanfiction. and i just think it's impossible to not realise that if you're engaging with fanfic in any kind of thoughtful way, as opposed to reblogging textposts about them on tumblr that also project a lot onto them, yk?

and okay. i also think "the bible/succession/velvet goldmine etc etc is rpf too! shakespeare wrote rpf!" is equally as reductive as "rpf is when fangirls write about band members boning each other." as always, there's just so much more nuance there. what does and doesn't make rpf is a lot more about intent, and if you're parasocially attached to these people as deeply as we all are, most of us just share that same intent. and from what i've seen (though in fairness this is the first real person fandom i've been in, and i only really talk to other adults) it tends to be the people actively engaging with fanfic who are a better at accepting how much of fandom is pure projection and assumption based on very limited information. and that acceptance is a huge part of having a healthier relationship with celebrities/bands/bandom (along with the conscious acknowledgement that these people don't owe us anything at all besides the shows we bought tickets for - least of all insight into their personal lives or private thoughts.)

like genuinely? free your minds. we're all making shit up based on the little parts we see, i think it's healthier and more fun to openly accept that. who cares what's real when we can talk about things in terms of narratives and arcs and metaphors - none of which truly exist in real life, which is infinitely complex and individual and messy. or, more precisely, who cares what's real as long as you know what isn't! and keep that stuff far far away from the real human people involved in the band.
