Day 3 of Berena Drabble June

Prompt: Model

Slightly refers back to this drabble.

————————————————

“Maintenance should really do something about this lift,” Serena grumbles.

“They should … and maybe we should stop using a cargo lift nobody else ever uses.”

“Except for Dom …”

Bernie decides to distract Serena. “Tell me something about you I don’t know.”

“Alright.” Serena joins Bernie on the floor. “When I was at uni, I spent a year in Paris. To earn some money, I worked as a model for an artist.” Serena smirks at the surprised look on Bernie’s face. “I was very good at it.”

“Of course,” Bernie chuckles. “I have just one question: what happened to the painting?”

It matters that we refuse.

It matters that we resist.

It matters that we be loud about our refusal and resistance.

Day 2 of Berena Drabble June

Prompt: Essential

Set in Spain — Bernie tells Serena something about her ordeal she hasn’t mentioned before

—————————————————

Bernie rubs her shorts above the scar from the gunshot wound. She can feel Serena’s eyes on her, knows she’s curious, and maybe it’s time to tell her.

Bernie clears her throat. “I was lucky … bullet went right through … didn’t hit the bone or the artery.” She sees Serena sitting up straight. “There was no doctor at the camp — that’s why they grabbed me —… and I only had the bare essentials in my pack …”

Serena gasps and reaches for Bernie’s hand. “Are you saying you had to treat the wound yourself?”

Bernie’s fingers tighten around Serena’s hand as she nods.

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

Day 1 of Berena Drabble June

Prompt: Insight

Set in Spain after their return from Holby after the bombing

(Reminder: Tom is Bernie’s therapist)

—————————————————

“You’re very quiet tonight,” Serena remarks softly after dinner.

Bernie looks up, startled out of her thoughts. “Sorry, did you say something?”

“I only said that you were very quiet tonight. Everything alright?”

Bernie nods absentmindedly. “Yes, yes … I just have a lot on my mind …”

“Anything I can do to help?”

“I’m not …” Bernie sighs. “I keep thinking about Cameron and what … how …”

“How he became someone who bombs a hospital?”

Bernie swallows hard. “Yeah.”

“I honestly don’t know.” Serena takes Bernie’s hand across the table. “Have you asked Tom if he could offer any insight?”

“Maybe I should …”

"We've all got to be fighting that fight every day."

Happy Pride, everyone...

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.

If you don't want LinkTree putting your imagery into AI... get out now

Just canceled my account (not that I used it that much). But I won’t permit this. Via @unaminh.bsky.social:

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI.

…Just so you know.

Happy Pride!

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[candycoloredwolf]

Anyone gonna mention how this guy actually preformed live with Carly Rae Jepsen?

I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.
