The Leather Jacket

I watched Dancin' Thru the Dark recently and I couldn't help but wonder if I'd seen this leather jacket before. That train of thought spawned this story, as well as the accompanying screenshots.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Plus this face that I accidentally caught while trying to find a good reference shot of the jacket:

Con O'Neill's character in Dancin' Thru the Dark is the most bisexual bloke to ever bisexual and that's the truth

Guess who has the worst relationship status

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the man, the legend himself, Con O'Neill!! 💖✨

The Con O’Neill Cinematic Universe got updated besties 😎

Added Peter from Dancin’ Thru The Dark as well as Joe Meek from Telstar! Both were absolutely tremendous movies that moved me, and gotta be honest, Dancin’ Thru The Dark might have become one of my favs! (what can I say I am a sucker for a good 90s movie 😌)

Had to change Mohg’s placement a tiny bit but I think it worked out well 😎

Okay I’m still on about this because I mean… obviously

But when Linda ran into Peter as they were leaving the Italian restaurant, he told her they were playing Bransky’s. Linda KNEW that old spark was gonna be Problematic and went I’m out on my hen night, I’m getting married tomorrow morning, I cannot be in the vicinity of my ex (who I’m not acknowledging that I’m not over)

She tried to cut off the problem by not giving it further space to BECOME a problem by telling her friends she didn’t want to go see her ex-boyfriend (who has only been gone like two years??? I think???) perform a hometown show on her hen night.

PROCEEDS TO THEN BE BULLIED INTO GOING TO BRANSKY’S BY SAID FRIENDS BECAUSE “OH ITLL BE FINE LETS HAVE A LAUGH”

Who then get shitty with her when the old spark starts burning like a flame again and she and Peter hit it off because it doesn’t seem like they ever really stopped having feelings -gestures to the song lyrics and what they imply-, put her in a position where she’s physically assaulted by her fiancé’s violent best friend slash best man for having doubts about going through with the marriage, and then try to strongarm her into still going through with it, because she’s just going along with all of this because somehow she’s been made to think this is What She’s Supposed To Do With Her Life and it’ll be fine once she marries Dave

If my friends emotionally manipulated and gaslit me like that, and then tried to undermine my autonomy by telling me “ah there you go, it’s fine, it’s just nerves, we can’t go off all willy-nilly making decisions based on the slightest feelings we have”, I would’ve broken out a bathroom window in a Liverpool disco to chase after my ex too! Like never mind the fact that Peter is played by Con, and Peter and Linda are each other’s one that got away, Linda’s got shitty friends and her fiancé’s best mate is violent af! Girl, run!
