Not to jumpscare you all with a notification from me after a couple years of silence, but I wanted to direct those of you who might be interested over to my new tumblr blog.

This one will remain as an archive of all my old rp content, but it was time for a fresh start elsewhere. (Wild that I get to go by Jess Bret now, huh?)

Thanks for the many years of memories <3

After seven years of friendship, seven years of creating queer love stories together, @sirussly and I got married, and it was the most perfect day either of us could have asked for. Jess is my best friend, my partner, my love, my companion, my favorite, and I can’t believe I finally get to call them my wife. I’m so grateful to have a partner that loves unconditionally, someone who learns and grows by my side. I love this beautiful person, and although we’ve already started our journey together, I can’t wait to start this next chapter. We met here on tumblr, and although I don’t post here anymore, I had to share this happy moment. ❤️

The Royal Archive -  A Tribute to @siriussly-serious

Jay’s friend and fellow drag king Oliver Assets has set up a DropBox archive that anyone can view and anyone can add photos, video and memories to. It’s not got too much in it at the moment, because everyone is having difficulty processing everything with the lack of information and most don’t feel ready to sort through photos and video yet. The archive isn’t going anywhere, however, so save these links and you can go back whenever.

The link to view the archive: https://tinyurl.com/theroyalarchive The link to add to the archive: https://tinyurl.com/royalarchiveupload

When you upload to the archive, it will show the file name to everyone. This means that you can provide a caption of sorts if you rename your files before uploading them. You can also provide a name to upload them under (you don’t need an account or to log in so can put any name) which means that within each folder they will be organised with all of your submissions together. Once submitted, you cannot edit or delete anything from the archive so make sure you want it public forever.

I understand that a lot of our memories on here of Jay are difficult to share in such a setting. Some gifs can stand alone, but some of the most poignant need the context of the posts they were made for. To tackle this, I’ve created our own archive of sorts, which will be detailed in this post here.

CW: Loss, bereavement

I was hoping to have more information before I made this post, so apologies for that. The news is starting to seep onto the platform though, as people share tributes as a way to process their own grief, so I think it’s time.

@siriussly-serious (he/they), mostly known here as Jay but also as Blu, Royale (in drag) and Jaxon, has passed away. Little is known at this point, other than that he was missing since Monday (10th May), reported as missing to the police on Wednesday (12th May) and found yesterday (15th May). This isn’t the right place for speculation, so I will have more to say when I have more information.

Although he hasn’t been active on the platform for a long time, Jay was a much loved member of the HP RP community. He was particularly an inspiration for LGBTQ+ creators and POC, going out of his way to encourage and promote anyone who felt they weren’t good enough or didn’t belong. He had so much love, which he handed out freely and sincerely to anyone and everyone who needed it. He created Found, a ridiculously ambitious project which I was privileged enough to be a part of, and which he was unfortunately unable to see through the way he desperately wanted to. Jay would want me to tell you he was 6ft7, everyone was welcome to the gun show and the cheaper and higher percentage your rose wine is, the better. He wouldn’t want me to gush about what an amazing singer, performer, drag artist, RPer, artist, writer, Muddy, creative and friend he was, but tough shit mate, come and stop me. He loved cheap rose, gin, rum, milkshakes, white chocolate, Beyonce, drag kings, queers being queer, people living their best life, Hamilton, cuddles, sandalwood incense and salt lamps (but not when he wasn’t allowed to lick them). So if you want to celebrate him in your own way, there’s some ideas for you. Just stay away from whisky and any other kind of chocolate. No thank you, ma’am.

I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in person with Jay over the last 3 years, but to those who never met him, your grief is just as valid. Your friendship was real, your love and loss is real. He loved you, he was proud of you every day you went out into a world that tries to tell you you’re broken or not enough. You are enough, and Dad is watching over you.

Jay had a large online presence, particularly in the drag king community, so I’m sure there will be some online tributes and possibly events. I will reblog this post adding information as I get it, including any tributes and donation information for those who can and would like to.

Rest in Power, Jay. It won’t be the same without you.

(( OOC: Hey peeps! I was just reminded that everyone was promised a vlog once I reached 20k on IG, and I’m past that now, so here it is! :D 

Jess, Jay, Ami and I went to The Cauldron in London for Jay’s birthday… and we decided to film it. ;) So here’s a fun vlog/review from our outing! ))

Wonderful memories with a truly beautiful person. 

We’ll miss you, Jay. Rest in power. 

[sirussly]

I’m utterly devestated at the loss of such an incredible human, who as you can see, lit up every person he came into contact with.

I’m so grateful for these memories, and many more. Thank you Jay, for lighting up my life the way you did.

Any skeletons in your closet Remus?

Moody: Don’t let your guard down just yet, Tonks. As Remus’ mission partner, there’s something you need to know–

Moody: *bluntly* Lupin is a werewolf.

OOC: And with that, Jess and I are signing off! Thank you guys for joining us, it was lovely to be back! <3 

[asktheboywholived]

hey Tonks? How many people here do you already know? And more importantly, how many people here are you NOT somehow related to?

Tonks: Rare quality in this family, honestly. 

[asktheboywholived]

I think Remus is more than familiar with your family. He was good friends with Sirius, weren't you?

Moody: Speaking of, as an official member of the Order, you’re now privy to a highly classified piece of information.

[asktheboywholived]

You're having too much fun there, Nymphadora. Don't tell me you still keep your wand in your back pocket? Better Aurors than you have lost buttocks because they weren't PAYING ATTENTION!

[asktheboywholived]

Wait - what's wrong with Ted Tonks and His daughter? Good Man, likes rugby. What's the problem?

Tonks: My family has a bit of a... reputation. 

[asktheboywholived]

Remus, you look like someone who's going to throw up slugs... Is everything alright?

[asktheboywholived]

Tonks, you ever heard of Remus before this ? Or is this your first time ever seeing him ?

Remus: Where’s Bill!?!?

[asktheboywholived]

You two have something in common! Remus' shirt also matches his hair. You maybe have a lot more in common than you think?

[asktheboywholived]

Constant vigilance Mr. Lupin! Tonks... This is a mission prep not some speed-dating event or whatever you kids do these days.

[asktheboywholived]

Remus! Your new partner coordinated her shirt with her hair. That's pretty impressive, and she's really pretty, don't you think?

[asktheboywholived]

What took you so long, Tonks?

[asktheboywholived]

Do you have a problem with a female partner, Remus?
