We have very few props and costumes from silent films here at Recycled Movie Costumes, so when we get them, I find them to be very special.

This stunning gown, adorned with sequined “Peacock feathers” was made for Norma Shearer to wear in the film Upstage. She wore it in both promotional images for the film, taken by photographer Ruth Harriet Louise, as well as in the film itself, which you can see here.

Norma is an interesting actress, as she is one of a hand full of talent that made the transition from silent films to talking pictures without too much trouble. She went on to wear some pretty magnificent costumes.

The gown appears to have been used for Gwen Lee, who also appeared in the film Upstage as the character Dixie Mason. However, it does not appear that she wore the dress in the film, and it is likely that the dress simply did double duty for the purpose of promotion.

i’m torn between shipping radioapple and headcanoning alastor as aroace so i can grab onto the representation with my grubby little hands

the same goes for upstage from bmc

edit: not a HC ooooooops it was late

another edit: the other obstacle to shipping upstage is richjake i forgot

another another edit: the solution is queerplatonic radioapple courtesy of someone in the replies and also it’s not just upstage it’s also dramatical theatre but the obstacle to that is how perfect pinkberry is

dorky upstage headcanons bc I love them

they dress as ferris, cameron and sloane for halloween. they are the most throuple ever.

Jake usually ends up in the middle in bed, with christine and jeremy holding hands.

Jake threatens to cut the sleeves off his hoodies because both of them steal them incessantly. he never does because he thinks them in his clothes is endearing

Christine has to go on tiptoes with both of them. jake got her a step stool once as a gag gift and she almost hit him with it

jeremy plays games with them but when he plays on his own they both backseat game. ("there's a health pack right there jere." "I know I see it but-" "babe. zombie." "I KNOW THERES ZOMBIES THERE THATS WHY I CANT GET THE HEALTH PACK-")

both Jeremy and Jake learned how to use a curling iron because of Christine's theater shows. (jeremys better. he doesn't think so, though.)

Jake is usually the driver, and Jeremy and Christine have the aux. it's usually a lot of musicals. Jake insists he isn't a theater kid. he is a liar.

their clothes just kind of become a communal mess of a closet. they all wear different pants sizes for the most part, but shirts are free reign.

one time in high school, they played the phantom, christine and raoul in phantom.

they host game nights for their friends. (Jake is banned from playing monopoly. he gets way too into it and is no fun.)

christine cooks, Jake does laundry, jeremy cleans.

they're all pretty touchy people, in general. jeremy less so, but he usually ends up leaning on one of his partners.

they all make up stories about strangers they pass on the street. Christine usually makes their lives dramatic and sad, Jake is a romance angled type, and Jeremy always adds in aliens somehow.

jeremy fell first. Jake fell harder. Christine had so much love that she didn't even really fall, she was already there.

theyre all in love I'm sorry

chlostine & upstage??

Chlostine is wonderful, actually. There's a lot of potential

the something special they're missing is jeremy /j

the potential for them is very interesting, you could do a lot with them. do they genuinely like each other? do they not? does jake try to put effort in or is it just another thing? do they try again later? i dunno, there's options to play with

Upstage Headcanons

Because I love them your honor

A perfect combination of “has a lot of love to give and never had a chance to give it” and “so much love for others but needs to get it expressed back to them”

First is Jake, actually. He’s contented himself with the designated people he can say it to, and he’s used to it being laughed off or just an instinctive “yeah yeah I love you too”

Enter Christine who shows it as much as she can but won’t usually say it, and it shows Jake that there’s different ways of loving, and it makes him feel far more cared for than hearing it said to him ever could

Jake loves to be talked to and to talk, and Christine is always a willing sharer and audience

Jake is a smart dude, I won’t hear anything against it. He’s involved and committed above all, and probably picks up tons of little tidbits and facts that he shares and makes Christine that much more comfortable sharing in her own

I feel like a normal nightly before bed conversation between them ranges anywhere from their days to the most apeshit insane factoids

They may not be all perfect, but they’re good at figuring out the pieces

They’ve lived very different experiences, it’s undeniable. There’s areas in each other’s lives where they’re polar opposites and it works for them

Jake’s used to the experience of “as it should be”, and a friend group that revolves around similarity

Christine’s lived a variation of experiences on and off the stage, and likes the thrill and excitement

Some nights, date night is driving hours out of town to see what they can find and others it’s cuddling on the couch because they haven’t seen each other that much and yeah, Jake missed her or it was a bit too much overstimulation that day

One another’s greatest hypemen

Jake’s front and center at her plays, clapping as loud as can be (he shamelessly used the wheelchair to clear spots), and Christine will relentlessly help along his student government petitions

They adventure together

Whether it’s rolling down the hills in his wheelchair with her in his lap, or just trying a new restaurant

She was thrilled by parkour. Absolutely loved it, and Jake loved the second hand thrill

Their friend groups never overlapped past the Squip Squad

They’ll know the other people by name, Christine runs with varied circles and at one point it was Jake’s entire responsibility to know the student body, but to say they’ve spent quality time? Naw

They’d go their ways, then come home to one another and it truly does work for them. There’s a few group hang outs, and that’s that

Feel free to add on!

Steve acts on instinct.

There’s this guy in all black walking in front of him, he’s too busy looking down at his phone to notice, but Steve doesn’t trust that lamppost. He’s been going for daily runs, he likes to keep it simple during the off-season, and that post has been getting more rickety every day. Now it’s swaying dangerously in the wind and he knows it’s about to tumble.

There’s no time to call out to the guy, so Steve just plows forward and tackles him out of the way.

They fall in a messy heap and Steve unfortunately lands heavily on top.

“Holy shit! What the— ugh!” The guy heaves in pain and Steve hurries to scramble off of him.

“Sorry, that post was about to fall on you, man. You alright?”

Pieces of grass stick to the guy’s long hair as he takes stock of Steve and what happened. With a labored breath, he surprisingly jokes, “Guess I’m lucky the best football tackler alive happened to be right behind me.”

It’s sarcastic as shit but Steve smiles with a tug of amusement as he offers his hand. “Baseball, actually.”

“You’re in the wrong league, man,” he lets Steve pull him to his feet and groans on the way up. “Well, nice to meet you, Baseball, you pack a hell of a first impression. I’m Eddie.”

Steve would appreciate his ability to joke so soon after taking a hit, but people are starting to gather around. There’s already phones pointed at them that probably caught the whole thing on camera. Steve’s used to public attention by now, knows the press is going to have a field day with this and he hates causing a scene, but he wants to make sure Eddie is okay.

“Just Steve is good. You wanna…? This way,” he gestures toward the sidewalk and thankfully, Eddie seems just as eager to get out of there too, shuffling next to Steve as they round the corner.

He’s wearing so much metal jewelry, it’s like a costume, the jingle jangle of his every step accentuating how shaken up he seems. They get far enough behind a building and Steve stops to have a real look at him and… well he’s interesting to look at.

It’s like he hopped off the album cover of an 80s rock band, or one of Steve’s Bon Jovi posters that he hid under his bed in high school. Way too much leather and way too much hair for the California sun, all disheveled with grass and dirt.

“You sure you’re okay? Here, you got a little…” Steve’s hand hovers until Eddie nods that it’s okay from him to pluck the grass from his hair and lightly brush the dust from his shoulders. Eddie watches him the whole time, his eyes big and dark, an intensity in them that Steve can’t quite read but he can feel. “Didn’t hit your head or anything, did you?”

Steve lowers his hands, stepping back a little when he realizes how close they are. Eddie’s eyes follow him, a slight quirk to his lips that makes Steve feel the heat of the sun a little warmer on his face.

“I’m touched by your concern, sweetheart, but my brain has been through worse damage than a little bump.”

Steve frowns at the ladder, but the first bit definitely makes him feel the heat. He’s admittedly a bit out of practice but he can still recognize a come on. One that he definitely invited with all the touching and indulgent looks.

Then Eddie starts profusely thanking him for the whole ordeal, asking to treat him somewhere nearby for lunch. It’s not that Steve doesn’t want to, he’s very interested actually, and thankful that out of all the jewelry Eddie’s sporting, there’s no wedding ring. That’s why he’s reluctant because he’s all sweaty at the moment. Not to mention, he didn’t finish his run yet.

“Surely saving my life was enough cardio,” Eddie jokes lightly and Steve snorts.

“I saved you from a minor concussion, maybe,” and okay he’s gotta accept now.

The place is small and unassuming, burgers and sodas type joint. Steve’s likely to be recognized there, which he doesn’t mind meeting fans in public just preferably not now, it might be jarring for Eddie.

He heads for the booth tucked in the back corner, the most private looking spot that Steve had his eyes on too. They get a round of sodas from the waitress and right away, Eddie starts thanking him again.

“I noticed that lamppost wobbling days ago,” Steve sparks a conversation instead of accepting any more thanks, “I was planning to let it fall on me so I could sue the shit out of the city.”

He’s pleasantly startled by the big cackle that gets out of Eddie, “Any chance to stick it to the man. I admire that.”

“‘Course I would’ve really stuck it to ‘em and donated it back to the community,” Steve adds.

“Giving the people’s money back to the people, imagine Big Brother’s horror. Noble guy.”

Eddie seems to bubble with contagious delight that doesn’t match his whole leather and chains thing at all, but it fits into the somewhat magic of him. It's a wonder to Steve.

“Do I know you from somewhere?” Eddie ventures, a glint of recognition in his eyes that Steve’s seen a thousand times. He doesn’t ping Eddie as much of a sports guy and he’s not vain enough to assume everyone knows who he is. Eddie’s probably seen him while flipping the channel past ESPN or something. Or maybe an ad for that Netflix thing he did documenting last year’s season.

“I think I’d definitely remember you.”

Steve didn’t mean it as a come-on, just that Eddie’s appearance really isn’t forgettable, but he can tell by the wicked little grin Eddie sports that it was taken as one. Steve likes that even better.

“Have you ever modeled, or anything? You’ve got the looks for it.”

Biting back a smile of his own, Steve shakes his head. “I bet you say that to everyone who saves your life.”

“None of them were half as good looking." That sounds concerning but Steve’s distracted by Eddie swirling his straw in his drink, regarding him with a long look. “Really though, I just feel like I’ve seen you before.”

Steve’s done a few covers of Sports Illustrated, but he doubts Eddie has ever picked up a copy of that, so he shrugs. “Must’ve been in your dreams.”

Eddie laughs softer this time. “You trying to sweep me off my feet or something?”

“Already did.” Steve leans back, enjoying the way Eddie’s eyes follow him.

Conversation sparks and it never really dies out. Eddie just grabs topics out of thin air, talking about the city and what they like to do and movies and his amazement that Steve knows all about D&D because he’s a nerd magnet. Eddie’s personality spills through everything he says like it can’t be contained. He’s talkative in a good way, not to a point where Steve can’t get a word in. He listens intently, has a way of putting all his attention onto Steve like he’s the most interesting person he’s ever spoken to.

It’s surprisingly easy to relax. Not because Eddie has a super calming presence or anything, his energy is just all-encompassing, it’s hard for Steve not to get sucked in and hang on to every word he says. It’s one of the rare times in public that he’s not hyper-aware of everyone around him and too paranoid of having a photo snapped and taken out of context to even enjoy himself.

That happens a lot, being one of the only professional athletes who’s open about his sexuality. The media is extremely invasive with his private life. If he’s seen with any guy friend, there’s a whole press storm about Steve Harrington’s “secret beau” within the hour. It’s ridiculous and he tries so hard to keep his lovelife under wraps that maybe he’s been neglecting it entirely, at least that’s what Robin says.

Of course, that’s when his phone lights up with a message from her. His heart sinks a little when he sees the title of the article she sent to him. He quickly shoots her a text and locks his phone without reading it.

“Everything alright?” Eddie notices the shift in Steve’s mood right away.

“Yeah just,” he sighs, bracing for the inevitable part when Eddie realizes Steve isn’t worth the hassle of all this, “Someone filmed us earlier and now it’s all over the press. I’m really sorry, I totally get it if—”

“Nah, don’t worry about it, it’s fine. I figured that would happen,” Eddie brushes it off, but Steve shakes his head.

“I don’t think you understand, it’s—”

“Wanna bet?” Eddie smirks for some reason, “I’m fine with it, I promise.”

He tosses a chip into his mouth and picks right back up with the story he was telling.

Steve is stunned for a moment, wary that maybe Eddie doesn’t fully grasp how deep this goes. But he stays there with Steve, seemingly thrilled to keep talking with him even when a family comes in and keeps staring their way, obviously building up the courage to come over and ask for a picture. Eddie’s acting like Steve’s the only person in the room and that’s enough to assure Steve that he’s really fine with it.

He’s so locked into Eddie, he barely registers when the older son from the family’s table finally wanders over and asks for a picture.

Steve is in the middle of wiping his face with a napkin, about to greet him when suddenly, Eddie pops up and asks Steve to excuse him for a minute.

“C’mon little man, let’s do it,” he says and much to Steve’s confusion, the teen excitedly goes with Eddie to his family’s table.

Steve watches, utterly baffled, as they start snapping photos and expressing what big fans they are and Eddie takes it with such bravado, laughing and chatting like he’s with a group of friends.

What the— Steve grabs his phone, opening the article Robin sent him at lightning speed.

At first, he wonders how the press was able to find out Eddie’s full name so quickly, then he sees the words "troubled rockstar" and "recovering star" so many times, it becomes abundantly clear.

Oh.

He’s not so worried about the troubled part, everyone has their shit and he doesn’t read into any of it. Those are Eddie’s stories to tell Steve if he chooses, not some tabloid. But the rockstar part connects a lot of dots that have come up in the last couple of hours since meeting Eddie and—

Yeah, just. Oh.
