Let Us Be Gay image care of pre-code.com
Day 10 Coat | Grimace | Paper
"A bit on the nose, yeah?"
They were sitting close together before the screen in Mycroft's theatre. Their shoes were somewhere by the front door. Greg's winter coat was hung in the cupboard. Greg himself sat curled in his socks on the champagne velvet setee under a plush throw blanket.
"Let Us Be Gay is meant in the older, more traditional sense of happy or carefree. Although it is a pre-code film, the most scandalous thing about it is the ending. At least, from a modern perspective. I'm sure the audience in 1930 found the divorce storyline most titllating."
Mycroft glanced at Greg. He was looking much steadier since they'd eaten. He'd had a bit of a peaky, haggard air about him when he'd first opened the bottle. Now, the whisky was bringing out the roses in his cheeks and the mischief in his smile.
"Is this what you do with your free time, then? Watch old movies?"
"With the little that I have, yes. Although I've been known to work from this very settee on a Sunday afternoon."
"That so? You'll have to let me join you next time. I wouldn't mind working the weekend from here."
Bold, Mycroft thought, eyeing Greg's glass. "You would be most welcome."
"Long as I don't ruin it this evening. You going to give me the boot if I talk through the film?"
"Hardly. Why do you imagine I have my own cinema? I prefer not to constrain my own reactions."
"You like to talk during films?"
"Both to and about the characters. If it becomes unbearable you must say."
"Oh, I think I can handle that."
Mycroft started the film and dimmed the lights. He returned to the settee with a pouf which he dropped in front of Greg.
"I can retrieve another if you'd rather not share."
The title screen lit up the room.
"Film's starting. No time. We'll have to share."
Greg reached up and tugged Mycroft by the arm. Mycroft settled beside Greg. They were closer now as they shifted to prop their feet on the pouf. The film began with Kitty fussing over her husband, Bob.
"She's a gorgeous creature."
"Mmm," Mycroft agreed. "Norma Shearer. She became quite a decorated actress after this."
"For this film?"
"No, but I like her in this one."
As the story progressed and Bob's girlfriend appeared at the door, Greg became agitated.
"Are you joking? He invited his girlfriend to the house?"
"Men behaving badly."
"Are you sure this is a funny one?"
"It is a comedy in the strictest sense," Mycroft said as Kitty wept on the screen.
They sat watching quietly for long minutes. Greg was close but not quite touching Mycroft's side. Their legs rested on either side of the invisible border down the centre of the pouf. Their hands sat relaxed in their own laps and Mycroft could feel the heat of Greg's arm through both of their shirts and the breath of air between them.
When their heroine reappeared, Greg whistled, "What a makeover! Divorce looks good on her."
"It does have that effect on some people."
"Yeah, still waiting on my post-divorce glow up," Greg murmured ruefully. Mycroft wasn't sure he was meant to comment until Greg nudged his side and prompted, "This is where a good friend would say, 'You don't need it, Greg.'"
Mycroft looked at Greg sidelong. "You don't need it, Greg," he said.
A surprised grin dawned on Greg's face and the softly spoken "Thanks Mycroft" was so heartfelt that Mycroft couldn't think of anything else to say.

The first outfit of "Murder & the Maiden" (Season 3, Episode 2) is a luxurious red velvet coat over a silver camisole and matching pants, complete with a shaped straw hat accented by feathers.
Known as the Coral Dreamcoat, Phryne's coat is made of a silk shot coral velvet with silver silk lining. Closer examination reveals godets (triangular inserts of fabric to add movement and width) of the velvet lined with silver piping on each side, along with a front tie and upturned sleeves with beaded decorations hanging from the ends of each.
"[The coat] has a front tie, which gives it lots of movement. Gareth Blaha, who's really quite sensational with finishing pieces, made these beautiful dangles off all the sleeves and the front tie." - Marion Boyce, Costume Exhibition Catalogue
Serving as a backdrop for her coral coat is a scoop-neck camisole with a wide hem, and flared trousers are made of a matching grey faille. Topping it all off is an authentic 1920s straw beret, adorned with a few thin maroon swirling feathers on top of a coral and maroon ostrich feather pouf and decorated with two gold buttons.
Phryne also brings along her grey woven handbag with a golden clasp that has been seen previously in 2x01 and 2x02, and ties in with the silver in her coat lining and her camisole and pants. She finishes the look with grey suede heels, white leather gloves, and glass bugle bead earrings.

Radiostatic week 2024
Day 6: Human AU
It's been so long since Alastor had some human flesh. Luckily for him, his spellbook had just the thing, and with whom, other than Vox, could he spend some quality time? The other was always so keen to spend time with him.
So there will be cannibalism in this one, so if you can't handle it, I suggest you skip this day. It's not a lot, but I prefer warn you before you read it.
Tumblr media
Vox was sleeping in his office when it all began. It had been a crazy night, all spent in hard work and perseverance. He was the leader of the Vees and the boss of VoxTech it was normal for him to be busy. Velvet once said for teasing he was in love with his job while Valentino immediately replicated that he would fuck him better than his job. The two of them burst into laughter while he was concerned for their mental health. Satan, he was surrounded by idiots.
It wasn’t like he couldn’t delay some work, he had numerous assistants and with all the money the enterprise was making he could clearly afford to hire new ones. No, he has a way to lower the amount of work he has to live with but what if there was a problem? What if something went wrong when he lent some work to his employee? He refused to risk it. If you want something to be done rightly you should do it yourself. Call him stupid for not caring, he didn’t give a damn shit about it. Or at least he didn’t yesterday, he really felt like shit today. 
“Urgh…I need some coffee…” He groaned, still half asleep and dizzy. 
Forget the cup, he’ll drink the whole pot at this rate. Even getting up was a pain dammit. He walked to the kitchen in this half-dead state where he met Vark, who was waiting for one of his numerous morning hugs.
Surprisingly the shark didn’t jump on him like every morning. It was appreciated right now since Vox was pretty sure he wouldn’t get up if his pet put him on the ground for a hug. The coffee machine was on, and the media demon came closer to his shark, mechanically petting him. 
Vark was frozen, he looked at him as if it was the first time he saw him. He was growling at first but when he sniffed his hands his tail started moving happily again and he started licking his hands. 
“Eh, someone was grumpy this morning.” Vox said before grabbing his mug now full of his daily dose of the most wonderful fuel he knew, coffee.
The earthly shark turned around his master curious, sniffing him and looking at him from every angle. Vox looked at him confused, just what was he doing? Last time the shark did this kind of thing he had changed his screen and slept with Valentino for the first time.
“What’s wrong boy? You’re acting quite-” The rest of his words faded as he looked at the hands that were holding his mug.
A scream escaped his mouth while the mug was falling onto the ground. Vark suddenly looked at his master, alarmed by his distress. He chirped trying to get his attention but Vox already ran into the bathroom where he could find a glass to look at.
The Overlord could feel his breathing pace accelerate ten times faster than usual, he was hyperventilating. In the mirror was looking back at him, someone he thought was gone forever. Someone he wanted to be gone forever! 
His skin was pale white and his head looked exactly like before his death. The short yet considered long back to his century black hair, the smaller eyes, and the little scar on his left eyebrow, it was back. He was human again. Holy shit he was human again!
He has a face again, not a fully human one but he had one. His teeth even if they became white again, were still really sharp and his eyes were also bright red. His claws were gone and he couldn’t feel the static and familiar power of the electricity flowing in his veins.
“Just what in Satan’s name just happened?!” He exclaimed, still not believing what he was seeing. It was a dream, right? It has to be! No one in Hell could just Pouf! Go back to their past self!
Vark was scratching against the door, whimpering for his master to open the door. He sounded so worried. Vox just mechanically opened it to him, too shocked to do anything else than stay against his pet and hug him for comfort. 
He couldn’t stay here. Just what would happen if someone found him like that? He would instantly be killed and being dead once was enough for him. What would Valentino or Velvet say? Such a powerful Overlord he was now.
“I need to find a safe place until I find a solution for this mess. Okay okay just calm down Vox you have everything under control.” The newly human demon said, nervous and trying to reassure himself. 
He quickly took some shirts and put them into a bag Velvet had forgotten in his room. Yes, he could do this! He’ll just have to avoid anyone that could hurt him. Which just meant the entire population of Hell dammit!!
After a call to Vark pet sitter and a few emails saying he took a few days off later the TV Overlord was ready to go. To go where he didn’t know yet but he couldn’t stay here and that was crystal clear. 
Vox took a big breath, hugged his shark one last time, and zapped away from the place. The former demon immediately noticed something was wrong, very wrong. Usually, when he used his power to zap away to another place it was quick and painless but here he could feel the electricity trying to pierce his skin. He couldn’t focus nor see where he was, the only thing he could do was to keep the screams from coming out of his mouth. 
When he finally had been able to open his eyes, the lighting had stopped and he was just lying in front of an old door. Someone was looking at him and approaching in a hurry but he couldn’t see anything else than a pale and fuzzy shape.
“Don’t come…closer…” He fought to yell, exhausted by all the recent events. Using his power in this form was a bad idea. He couldn’t even keep himself standing anymore, and when the unknown shape arrived at him, he blacked out.
********
Vox gasped for air when he woke up, his hand on his chest still feeling the pulse of electricity running into his heart and veins. He could feel himself shaking and he hated it, he was a powerful Overlord dammit! Not some damsel in distress!
“Awake already my old friend?” A familiar and unwelcome voice resonated next to the former demon.
“You!!” Vox screamed and immediately regretted it. “Fuuuuck my head…” He whined, curling on himself as his head was killing him.
It was like there was a spike in his head piercing every part of his skull, it hurted so much he could feel himself getting sick. Just what was going on with him? And why was Alastor here?
“Ah yes. It was really stupid to use your power when you’re in such a form. But I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised with you. You’re always so keen to keep me entertained.” The radio demon said, softly taking the face of his nemesis before weeping the blood that was drooling on his face from his nose. 
Vox’s vision was slowly starting to come back. In front of him was the radio demon, smiling like always and clearly not surprised to see him in such a state. At first, he was perplexed but then it became so clear he felt stupid for not thinking about it first.
“You did this! This is all your fault if I’m looking like this!” The TV Overlord shouted, furious.
Some kind of ringing sound resonated as Alastor started smiling more, looking at Vox like he had won a prize on some TV show. As the radio demon was getting closer Vox tried to put some distance between them, a bit afraid of what he would do to him now he couldn’t protect himself.
“And we have a winner!!” The radio Overlord chuckled, clearly amused by the situation. “You see I found this spell in a book of mine, to temporarily turn a demon into a human and I had to test it on someone. I remembered how eager you were to spend time with me before and decided you would be a perfect test subject.”
“I’m so going to kill you once this shit is over!!” Vox screamed, small bolts of lightning waving around him.
Alastor was coming closer and closer and Vox could feel his back hitting the wall, he was stuck. The radio demon looked at him with a teasing expression, his mouth was now really close, too close to Vox’s neck. The former demon could feel his face burning as Alastor’s hands were now on his chest. The other demon was clearly toying with him, Vox knew sex didn’t interest Alastor. It was only to cause him more torment! That asshole.
“What’s wrong Vox? I thought you wanted to have me over you like that? You think I haven’t seen the way you used to look at me before? The way you look at me now? I thought your TV face was the most expressive thing on you but this human one is exquisite, I must say.” Alastor said, his hands wandering on the curves of the face of his rival.
Vox shivered at the nice and soft feeling of Alastor’s hands petting his face. When the gentle fingers were on his lips he couldn’t manage to hold a gasp, surprised at how sensible he was. His body wasn’t very sensitive usually, being covered with metal and silicone could do that to a guy. But now he could feel all the touch of the other demon so much it was a bit overwhelming.
“Alastor..” He gasped again, his face burning when his old rival suddenly kissed him with delicacy. As if he was made of porcelain. “Just keep going please…”
“Does that mean I have your authorization for what’s going to follow?”
“Yes! Yes! Just please keep going whatever you’re doing.”
“I thought I could make this nice for you too since you’re going to help me with some problem of mine.” The radio demon softly said as his mouth was slowly going lower and further on the other’s neck.
“What kind of problem I don-” Vox immediately stopped talking when to his biggest shame a moan escaped from his mouth against his will.
Alastor. Alastor was biting him. It shouldn’t feel so good when it hurts so bad but here he was, having more pleasure with his rival than he had during his adventure with Valentino, the Overlord of porn himself.
“If I knew you would have loved it this much I would have done it sooner.” Alastor said, looking happy at the other being in front of him. 
Vox gripped the hair of the deer demon in front of him, trying to get back the control he loved so much. But when he felt the tongue of the other, licking the blood that was drooling all over his body, Vox felt weak. The red Overlord refused to lose a single drop of the precious liquid and while Vox could still feel him licking the wound one of the deer’s claws started piercing the chest of his skin.
With a sudden urge, Vox grabbed Alastor’s shirt growling. Alastor looked surprised at first but not in a bad way. Vox could see him smiling as he was clearly expecting something. 
“You better not be doing this with anyone else than me, Alastor.” The media Overlord growled possessively. The idea that someone else than him, touching and being touched and bitten by his nemesis was just unbearable.  
Alastor laughed before properly kissing his rival. He wouldn’t mind keeping Vox as a partner to satisfy his needs and envy. Especially when the other tasted so delicious. 
Their bodies melt into one the two men pursue their activities until both of their hunger feels satisfied. The spell wouldn’t last more than a few hours but it could always be cast again for another meeting.

Worked on redecorating my doll shelf/diorama today to fit Lola’s vibes. I love how this green wallpaper photographs with her and Ambrose. I think I want to get her some of those French velvet poufs and pillows from Verta Doll soon. Maybe when they have their mini market I’ll stop by since I live close. I also want to print out some art to put in the frames but don’t have a printer right now so that will be a for later thing.

Cozy Up Your Space with Floor Cushions: The Ultimate Comfort Trend

Material: Go for durable, washable fabrics for high-traffic areas. Velvet or suede adds a touch of luxury.
Size and Shape: From round poufs to oversized square cushions, pick sizes that complement your space.

@hexwrought said: "regardless of how we got here , i'm having a really good time."
Caitlyn let out a soft snort of amusement, barely glancing up from the book in her lap. She was settled comfortably on the couch, her two dobermans, Sprinkles and Cookie, curled up sleeping at her sides and radiating warmth. Her broken leg was carefully propped up on a pillow atop a pouf, and a pair of glasses perched on her nose to ease the strain on her one good eye.
❝ Is that so?❞ she replied, her tone teasing as she finally looked up at Jayce. Setting her book aside, she inserted the bookmark with precision before snapping it shut with a satisfying thud. The sound made Sprinkles lift his head lazily, but Caitlyn just reached out to give the dog a soothing pat before turning her attention fully to her friend.
She raised an eyebrow, her lips quirking into a playful smile. ❝ So, this ‘really good time’ you’re having — is it because of the endless baked goods I’ve been spoiling you with, or my dazzling company you get to enjoy every day now? Surely, it’s the latter, right?❞ She gestured to the coffee table, which once again had a fresh batch of red velvet cupcakes on it, their rich frosting practically begging to be eaten. Baking had become her current pastime in the time she could not return to work yet, filling the hours she couldn’t spend on duty.
Tumblr media
❝ Go on, have one, or ten❞ she added, her smile widening as she leaned back into the couch. ❝ You’ve earned it. Or at least you should pretend you have — those cupcakes won’t eat themselves.❞

Hi!! I love your writing! And I was wondering how you set a scene like the actual setting. I feel like my setting is always lacking and that the readers won’t understand the atmosphere i’m setting or wont know where the setting is taking place. Sorry if this makes no sense.
Hey, this is a great question, and I see a lot of talented writers struggle with setting. It's all about the details, everyone says, but how do you know what details to add?
Tumblr media
For me, I usually add details I find interesting and serve one or all of three goals: plot, character or mood. Although sometimes I throw things in because they're just neat, and those details sometimes turn out to be the most important of all.
I usually begin with mood. Do you want a bright and cheerful setting, or a dark and sinister setting, or a plain and sparse and disturbingly perfect setting? Even an ordinary room can look dark and sinister if that's the mood of the scene.
In "The Gloriana Set," I set one of the most dangerous and scary scenes in a very simple setting: an ordinary hunting shack in the woods:
"Theo twirled, Apparating them inside a small, one-room cottage. There was nothing inside the pine structure except a fireplace and two three-level bunks. The warped wood floor was covered in suspiciously dark stains."
Theo and Hermione are attacked in this setting, and so I sprinkle details like the feeling of the rough wood, and the sun shining through dirty windows, and frequently mention the bunk beds. Its very ordinariness is creepy because this shack is used to hunt Muggles, not deer. In "The Darkwood Wand," Draco's bedroom is also sinister, but instead of simple, I piled on the objects and furnishings. The whole room screamed opulence and magic and danger. Here is Hermione seeing it for the first time:
"She was kneeling between the bed and a green velvet armchair, which faced a black leather sofa. A grandfather clock loomed in a corner, its mother-of-pearl face another weak source of light. The furniture was heavily carved—black walnut, if Hermione had to guess, she’d developed a bit of expertise from all those woodworking magazines. A small harp, of all things, glittered in the moonlight from atop a bookshelf.
"Slowly she stood, and turned to face an obsidian fireplace lined with bricks of black glass. Its mantle was crammed with silver objects: picture frames, bottles, boxes. It was outrageous, really, this lap of luxury for Slytherin’s worst. Even the fire tools were topped with silver. Hermione stepped forward and pulled out the poker: It was surprisingly heavy for its size, yet as delicately balanced as a rapier."
Every object mentioned plays a role in the story later on, and it's all seen through Hermione's point of view.
Finally, settings can be fun. Here is Trelawney's Divination classroom in the "Darkwood Wand." I leaned heavily on the Rowling's description and added bits of my own to serve the story:
"Draco stalked across the room and sat uncomfortably close to Granger. The lamp above them, draped with a silk scarf, cast a dim, crimson light. Draco was sweating slightly and it wasn't from the stuffy air."
and here's a setting primed to annoy a grouchy Draco:
"It was Xylomancy Day, with twigs and strips of wood scattered on all the tea tables. Frankincense billowed from a heated plate, and Draco coughed as he took a seat on his pouf. He could feel another headache coming on."
and this is yet another confined setting in this claustrophobic story:
"“FOOL!” Trelawney cried, her hands in the air. Her robe’s sleeves fell back to reveal skinny arms. “Magician, devil, hanged man!”
Startled, Draco fell backward, banging his head against the wall. His knee hit the bottom of the table and scattered the cards. Hermione, thankfully, kept her composure; she slid one hand under Draco’s elbow and steadied the table with the other."
The key is to have your characters constantly interacting with the setting. Setting in a story isn't like a painted backdrop on a stage, especially in a Harry Potter story where anything can be magical.
Hope that helps!

Why Every Living Room in the UAE Needs an Ottoman — and Where to Find the Best Ones Online?
In the stylish and fast-paced world of UAE living, functionality and design must go hand-in-hand. The living room, being the heart of the home, is often where functionality meets luxury. While sofas, chairs, and coffee tables are staple pieces, there’s one often-overlooked item that can elevate your living room’s appeal while offering practicality ��� the ottoman. Here’s why every living room in the UAE needs one and where to find the best ones online.
Why Every Living Room Needs an Ottoman
1. Versatility at Its Best
Ottomans are the ultimate multi-tasker in home decor. Whether you’re looking for a coffee table, extra seating, or a footrest, an ottoman can serve all these purposes and more. Their versatile design makes them perfect for small and large living rooms alike. In a modern UAE home, where space is precious, using an ottoman for multiple functions allows you to make the most out of your living room area.
2. Comfort and Relaxation
Imagine unwinding after a long day, putting your feet up, and sinking into the comfort of a soft, cushioned ottoman. This comfort is exactly what ottomans provide — a cozy spot to rest your feet or to simply lounge. Whether you’re watching TV or chatting with friends, an ottoman offers a relaxed and inviting feel, making your living room a true sanctuary.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
Ottomans are a quick way to add a stylish statement to your living room. From minimalist to opulent, there’s an ottoman style for every home decor theme in the UAE. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern design with clean lines or a plush, luxurious piece in velvet or leather, an ottoman can easily elevate the overall look of your space. With their sophisticated yet understated design, ottomans complement and enhance the beauty of any sofa or coffee table.
4. Hidden Storage
Storage is always a priority in UAE homes, especially with limited space in urban apartments. Many ottomans come with built-in storage, which can be a lifesaver. These storage ottomans are perfect for stowing away extra pillows, blankets, toys, or magazines. By combining style with practicality, they help keep your living room neat and organized while maintaining an inviting atmosphere.
Ottomans: The Perfect Fit for UAE Homes
When it comes to home decor in the UAE, ottomans blend seamlessly into various interior design styles. Whether your living room is designed with modern elegance, traditional luxury, or a fusion of both, there’s an ottoman that can match your aesthetic.
Modern Designs: Contemporary ottomans made with leather, faux leather, or fabric in geometric or round shapes are ideal for modern UAE homes. These sleek pieces add sophistication and comfort to your living space.
Luxurious Touches: For those with a more luxurious taste, consider velvet or suede ottomans, which lend an air of opulence to any living room. Gold or silver finishes and tufted designs also give ottomans a royal appeal, perfect for the lavish interiors of upscale UAE homes.
Materials & Textures: Ottomans are available in a wide variety of fabrics, textures, and colors to match the tone of your living room. Leather, velvet, linen, and suede are popular materials that add texture and richness to your home.
