TELL ME ABOUT YOUR STONE OCEAN OCS I'M WORKING ON MY OWN OCS AND NEED ✨INSPO✨
(esp Canada Goose he looks so FUNKY)
OK HERE WE GO :0 I don’t have too many
Canada Goose (yeah, that’s his name. legally)
Tumblr media
•Somewhere in his late twenties. Six foot two. Chunky boi with fat tiddies. Has a large black back tattoo of the letters “BNL” in block font
•He’s a mid-to-high level ranking gangster in Sports Maxx’s gang who’s serving a reduced sentence (like Maxx, due to mafia destruction of evidence and legal tampering) for trafficking and selling hard drugs.
•He’s a natural stand user wielding Barenaked Ladies (often abbreviated to BNL). BNL is a soft, squishy parasitic stand that enters the body through open wounds and travels up the bloodstream to your brain. Once it’s in your head, BNL attaches itself to your brain and can read and transmit weak electric signals. Basically, this allows Goose to hear all your thoughts and allows him to send you telepathic messages. BNL can’t do any physical damage to its host, but it’s a psychological weapon that also gives Goose a huge boost in combat, kind of like Dragon’s Dream.
•Not too smart, but then again he doesn’t need to be. He’s good at what he does, he’ll leave the thinking up to people like Maxx. He’s a good listener, he loves just hanging out and shootin’ the shit with people, maybe with a drink and a smoke too.
Viktor Rolf (like the fashion house Viktor & Rolf)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
•I COULDNT NOT STEAL HIM HES SO PRETTY LOOK 👁️👁️ AT HIMM
•Mid twenties. No significant tattoos, marks, or piercings.
•Dropped out of university (majoring in English) in his second year due to burn out and personal issues. Got a “temporary” job at the prison and promised his family and friends he’d be back at university as soon as he was feeling better. It’s been at least four years and yeah, he’s starting to feel like that’s never gonna happen. Not that he likes his job at GD st., he fucking HATES it here, but he just can’t bring himself to change everything again.
•He’s cold and standoffish with most people. He doesn’t want to get close with any of his coworkers because it feels like settling in, admitting defeat, admitting he’s never going to leave. Not rude per say, just curt and withdrawn.
•Oh yeah, and he’s secretly dating Goose. He appreciates that Goose doesn’t judge or ask questions.
Tumblr media
Dege Goose-Rolf and Skinner Goose-Rolf (like the fashion company Dege & Skinner)
Don’t ask how it happened. Goose would probably tell you, just don’t ask.
•I’m away right now and haven’t had the time to draw them more :( so these are just preliminary sketches
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•The twins are weird. like those kids who show up at family gatherings and you’re not quite sure who they’re related to but your mom says you have to sit next to them even if they chew crayons and smell funny.
•They’re very close. Goose is trying his best but he is a first time single dad with no idea what he’s doing, so they sometimes have to rely on each other.
•They share the stand Beastie Boys. I haven’t figured out what it does yet 🤔

I am pretty sure the mothers in the wedding party all had to do rough measurements of their kids before the fittings to at least get the mock-up version right. I think Jessica Mulroney mentioned that about her kids after the wedding. Now also keep in mind that the Mulroney twins, George and Mark Dyer’s son had to be fitted as well for their uniforms. It looked like the Savile Row tailor Dege and Skinner knew their brief and executed it well. Why was it the girls dresses that came out so wrong? I really believe the bridezilla rumours that Meghan kept changing her mind every second and like the Givenchy couturier team leaked on the blogs she was impossible.
Didn't it come out that they didn't even contact the bakery for the cake until a couple weeks before?
I think she was unorganized, lazy, and undecisive.

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Had the Sweetest Coronation Matching Moment
Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton‘s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, all have roles in their grandfather, King Charles III’s, coronation procession. And they have certainly dressed the part. Prince George looked dapper in a traditional military-style uniform rendered in bright red. Prince Louis’s navy suit by Dege & Skinner included a jacket with lace…

“There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'"
"The mood will pass, sir.” 
- P.G. Wodehouse, The Code of the Woosters   
Each British regiment has its own colourful mess dress. Each officer is responsible to go to whichever bespoke tailor they wish depending on their budget. Dege & Skinner of Savile Row are often the preferred choice as they make regular visits to Sandhurst to fit up each officer at the time of their commissioning.
Can you guess which regiment this one belongs to?
The clue lies in the waistcoat buttons.

Can I have B, K and Q for the fanfic ask meme, please?
Fanfic ask meme
B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?
My stories come from the characters first, but there is also stuff in them that comes from personal experience. The Aussie coffee verse is set in some very specific places that I have visited more than once in the past. The Personal Touch takes a little from my own experiences with various kinds of physical therapy (though I never had that sort of relationship with any of my therapists!). In the past I’ve written stories that included stuff like bodysurfing, which I know about from growing up by the beach. There are other little bits and pieces of personal experience littered through my fic, but they’re generally not anything particularly important.
I guess History Never Repeats has potentially the biggest part of my real life in it, because I’ve given Brienne the profession that used to be mine, a long time ago. That was inspired partly because lately I’ve been encountering fiction in various media that keeps portraying that profession as the most boring job in the world/a cover for something ‘more interesting’/something done by unhinged megalomaniacs before they go completely off the rails. And yes, while I have met the odd unhinged megalomaniac in that profession, I wanted to present it in a more true way - so we’ll see what happens as the story progresses!
K: What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?
In my reply to one of the other asks, I mentioned that I’d written a major character death in a HP fic, long, long ago. That was The Rain Keeps Falling. I doubt anything I’ve written since tops that in the angst stakes, though one or two things have come close. When it was originally posted on LJ, it got several pages of comments that were pretty much all variations on: Your story made me cry. Still proud...
Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?
Oh, loads of them. Most are handwritten in notebooks, but just a quick look through my googledocs shows ones I may yet get to, like the rockstar/musician AU, and ones I’d forgotten all about, like “angry sex draft” - whatever the hell that was supposed to be. Here is a bit from a half-written Rivers of London story called Stripping Off, which will never be finished because the canon has now moved on from the moment in which the story is set:
Nightingale always dresses well, in a strictly first-half-of-the-twentieth-century kind of way. It was one of the first things I noticed about him, that night we met in Covent Garden, and not just because, as a police officer, I’m trained to notice distinguishing details just in case they might be needed later. I thought he was going to try to pick me up, if I’m being honest. And it turned out I was right that he had an interest in me, but not in the way I thought.
He was wearing one of his beautifully tailored suits the first time I saw him, a bespoke number courtesy of Dege & Skinner, Savile Row, established 1865 - like all of his suits and most of his shirts, as I later found out. The perfect fit of his suits draws subtle attention to the width of his shoulders before nipping in closely at the waist. His shoes are handmade, because of course they are, by Crockett & Jones in Jermyn Street, which is handily situated just a few streets away from Savile Row and has been in business nearly as long as Dege & Skinner. And he carries a silver-topped cane, which fits the whole pre-war man about town aesthetic, but its origins and uses are… well, let’s just say that those are a bit more esoteric.
Nightingale’s entire look, not forgetting his Burberry coat, was more than familiar to me by the time I’d spent a year or two at the Folly, so I’m really not sure why his new driving gloves came as any sort of surprise – but they did.
Gloves of all sorts are a necessary evil in our line of work, but of course Nightingale’s driving gloves were nothing like anything that comes as police standard issue. They were made of thin, high quality brown leather, very supple, with ventilation holes along the knuckles, and lined with some sort of soft wool fabric – probably cashmere. But the day came when the quality of the materials and workmanship couldn’t disguise how well-worn Nightingale's gloves were. Not even Molly’s careful ministrations could make them look even remotely at their best, so eventually Nightingale bit the bullet and ordered – probably from some fifth generation family business with an ampersand in its name – a new pair of driving gloves.
I didn't even know that Nightingale had finally got… I'm sorry, procured, the new gloves until the first time we took the Ferrari for a spin, the one that used to belong to the practitioner formerly known as the Faceless Man and recently revealed to be one Martin Chorley. I'd been itching to take the Ferrari for a test drive since the moment it was impounded in the garage at the Folly, awaiting 'evaluation'. Nightingale still hardly ever lets me drive his Jag by myself, though - one of these days I'll actually get to the top of the priority list for that advanced driving test, but I'm not holding my breath - so I didn't bother asking if there'd be any chance that I could take the Ferrari out without him. Fortunately, he was almost as keen as I was to find out what the Ferrari could do.
I was vaguely aware that Nightingale was wearing his new gloves when he turned the key in the ignition, but at the time most of my attention was on the way the engine effortlessly purred into life. Russell Square isn't exactly the best place to drive, well, anything, let alone a Ferrari, so I waited as patiently as I could while Nightingale negotiated the London traffic and pointed us in the general direction of Oxford.
We were on our way to visit Professor Postmartin, a typical, even stereotypical Oxford don in every way, except that he moonlights as the official archivist for the Folly. He'd phoned the day before to let us know that he'd discovered some uncatalogued volumes in a hat box in a forgotten cupboard at the top of a cobwebbed spiral staircase - or somewhere like that - and he wanted us - well, Nightingale - to take a look at them.
"There's no great rush, Thomas. You can look them over the next time something brings you up to Oxford," Postmartin said.
Nightingale and I exchanged a look at that - he had speakerphone turned on, wonder of wonders, though it's possible he'd just hit the button by mistake - and decided without a word being said that the Ferrari was the thing that would bring us to Oxford.
The thing about being a passenger in a Ferrari? It's totally different to driving one. Those cars were designed for speed before anything else, which means a stiff suspension, thin tyres, and cutting back on extraneous extras like much in the way of padding beneath the beautifully finished black nero leather upholstery. All of which is fine if you're sat behind the wheel and feeling the thing rumble into life beneath your hands, and then having it do your bidding with every tiny change of course. But when you're in the passenger seat you feel it rumble to life beneath your arse, and you feel every. single. dip and pothole.
Apparently, my idea of patience is somewhat different from Nightingale's, because we hadn't even made it as far as the M40 when he glanced at me and suggested that perhaps I could find some way of keeping myself occupied on my phone until we got out of London.
I realised I'd been drumming my fingers on the leather-lined passenger door, and hastily returned my hand to my lap, trying to look the picture of innocence. It turns out that I'm no better at that than I am at pretending to be patient, because Nightingale snorted - actually snorted! - softly before he returned his attention to the road.
I really was intending to do what Nightingale had 'suggested', and I shifted in the seat so that I could reach into my pocket for my phone, but just as I did, Nightingale's arm moved and caught my eye - and I forgot to breathe.
I honestly didn't know why. I'd seen Nightingale drive before, many times. It should have been such an ordinary movement that I didn't even consciously register it, but his hand flexed as it closed around the gear stick and I swallowed. Hard. I probably should have looked away then. Okay, I definitely should have looked away then, but instead I took my first proper look at Nightingale's new driving gloves.
The new gloves were similar to the old ones, except in every way that they weren't. They were soft, high quality leather, and covered his hands as if… well, they had been made for him,  but where the old ones were a worn brown, these were midnight black. At least, they were on the part that covered the back of his hand. Underneath, on the palm, they were smooth red leather. Not the fire brick red of the Ferrari's paint job; Nightingale wouldn't be caught dead wearing such a flashy colour. No, the leather of the gloves was a few shades darker than the red of the Ferrari, but there was no denying that the new gloves fitted this car - just as the old gloves had been a perfect fit with the brown leather upholstery and wooden trim in the Jaguar, I realised.
And damn, did they fit Nightingale.
I choked on the thought in utter horror before I even got to the end of it, and quickly turned it into a coughing fit. I hadn't really… had I? About my governor? About Nightingale?
"Everything all right, Peter?" Nightingale asked in mild concern.
I nodded, my eyes watering as I croaked out a not very convincing, "Fine." I reached down into the bag of supplies at my feet to see what Molly had packed for us. Anything not to have to look Nightingale in the face right then. Suddenly, being in the Ferrari was absolutely the last place I wanted to be.

What makes me wonder is why only Charlotte was bullied? There were also other girls. And why was also George spared ? - Firstly, in all the chat about the bridesmaids' fittings, there has never been any comment that said the boys were present and by that i mean George and the other little boy attendants. Secondly, the males, Harry and the little boys, had their uniforms made by Savile Row tailors, Dege & Skinner, who gave an account of their process to GQ magazine UK. From article, the 1/2
2/2 tailors got commission for the boys to make just the pageboy outfits and went to KP to measure George and the other English boy. The design of the coat was based off a coat they'd previously made for Harry - according to them the challenge was to recreate it in miniature. The finished product, including Harry's outfit, was delivered to Windsor castle on friday night before the wedding. The tailors appeared to have needed just one fitting, though unclear how or where they measured the twins.

Thank you. That last part is curious.

A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex features the wedding outfits worn by the couple at their wedding in May 2018.
The Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress was created by the British designer Clare Waight Keller, Artistic Director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy.  The Duchess chose Ms Waight Keller for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, and for the impeccable tailoring of her creations. The Duchess and Ms Waight Keller worked closely together on the design.
The Duke of Sussex's wedding outfit was the frockcoat uniform of the Household Cavalry (the 'Blues and Royals'), made by tailors at Dege & Skinner on Savile Row.  As the uniform specially commissioned for the occasion is required for use by His Royal Highness, an identical uniform made for The Duke by Dege & Skinner a few years earlier will be displayed.

From today, when visitors to Windsor Castle reach George IV’s Semi-State Rooms they will see the special exhibition ‘A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’, a display of Harry and Meghan’s wedding outfits and also those worn by Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
In an audio recording made for the exhibition, the Duke and Duchess discuss their plans for the wedding, including the choice of outfits, music and flowers.
‘A great deal of detail went into the planning of our wedding day,’ says Meghan. ‘We knew how large the scale of the event would be, so in making choices that were really personal and meaningful, it could make the whole experience feel intimate.’
The Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress with a boat-neckline bodice was created by the British designer Clare Waight Keller, artistic director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy. It is made from an exclusive double-bonded silk cady, and its graceful lines were achieved using six meticulously-placed seams.
The seams extend towards the back of the dress, from where the train flows in soft round folds, cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. It is in the underskirt that Meghan’s ‘something blue’ is stitched: a piece of material from the dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry.
The Duchess’s five-metre-long veil is made from silk tulle and embroidered with the flora of the 53 countries of the Commonwealth, a reference to an important part of the Duke and Duchess’s official work following Harry’s appointment as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.
The Duchess added two of her favourite flowers: Wintersweet, which grows in front of Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, and the California Poppy, the state flower of her place of birth, California.
Embroidered ears of wheat, symbolising love and charity, are symmetrically placed at the front of the veil, which is edged with embroidered organza flowers.
It took the team of embroiderers at Maison Lesage in Paris hundreds of hours to create the design, washing their hands every 20 minutes to keep the tulle and threads pristine.
The bride’s veil was held in place by a diamond and platinum bandeau, lent by the Queen. On public display for the first time, the bandeau is formed as a flexible band of 11 sections, pavé set with large and small brilliant diamonds in a geometric design. At the centre is a detachable brooch of ten brilliant diamonds. The bandeau and brooch were bequeathed to Her Majesty by her grandmother Queen Mary in 1953.
‘When it came to the tiara on the day I was very fortunate to be able to choose this very gorgeous Art Deco-style bandeau tiara,’ the Duchess of Sussex recalls. ‘Harry and I had gone to Buckingham Palace to meet with Her Majesty The Queen to select one of the options that were there, which was an incredibly surreal day, as you can imagine.
'That was the one that I think as we tried them on stood out; I think it was just perfect because it was so clean and simple, and I think also at that point an extension to what Clare and I had been trying to do with the dress, which was have something that could be so incredibly timeless but still feel modern.’
‘Every girl’s dream,’ the Duke interjects. ‘To be able to try on a tiara and funnily enough the one that suited the best, the one that looked the best on you without question. I shouldn’t have really been there; it was such an incredible loan by my grandmother. Very sweet.’
A replica of the Duchess’s bridal bouquet made from silk flowers has been created for the exhibition.
The Duke of Sussex’s wedding outfit was the frockcoat uniform of the Household Cavalry (‘Blues and Royals’), specially commissioned for the occasion and made by tailors Dege & Skinner on Savile Row. The uniform’s single-breasted blue doeskin jacket has figured braiding of regimental pattern on the stand-up collar and sleeves. It is ranked to Major with large gold embroidered crowns on the epaulettes.
The trousers, officially called ‘overalls’, are made from a blue and black wool barathea and are fastened by a leather strap and buckle underneath the boot. Because the uniform is required for use during the autumn, the Duke has loaned an identical uniform to the exhibition.
‘I chose the frockcoat as a uniform, with permission from my grandmother, because I think it’s one of the smartest Household Cavalry uniforms,’ the Duke says in the audio recording, ‘It’s one of my favourites, and I was very fortunate to be able to wear that on the day.’
As one of four pages, Prince George wore a miniature version of the Blues and Royals coat, again by Dege & Skinner, with his initials embroidered in gold thread on the shoulder straps.
Princess Charlotte, one of the six bridesmaids, wore a high-waisted ivory silk dress designed by Clare Waight Keller. It has short puff sleeves and a double silk ribbon at the waist, tied in a bow at the back. The Princess’s white leather shoes were made by Aquazurra and embroidered with her initials and the wedding date.
Talking about the bridal attendants, all under the age of 7, the Duke of Sussex says: ‘Everyone said it was impossible to have them behaving, but they did it! They did a great job.’
‘It was a miracle,’ the Duchess suggests, with a laugh.
‘A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ is part of a visit to Windsor Castle from 26 October 2018 to 6 January 2019. To book tickets for guaranteed entry to Windsor Castle or for visitor information please visit www.rct.uk or telephone +44 (0)303 123 7304.
