Picrew Tag
Thank you for the tag, Elli! @ariendiel I loved this one so much!
So, I'm still on my Simon bs because I can't let that man go, you know? And also, didn't want Liz to be alone (originally she had the music frame but between her and Simon he was always gonna win for that one)
Have a Liz Thays and a Simon Porter!
I'm not sure who has been tagged, but I'm going with @follies-fixture, @sailorpleiades, @daisybarks, @longbobmckenzie, and @thoracicorchid, if they want to give it a go with this picrew!
A post no one asked for: My OCs and their sleeping quirks
Minnie mumbles in her sleep, mostly in Korean. Doesn’t matter if she’s having a dream or not she’ll just...ramble.
Alejandro will wrap all his limbs around his s/o like a fucking sloth on a tree. The dude’s a long boy and doesn’t even know he’s doing it. Sloth gang rise up.
Marco snores kind of, but it’s not loud nor is it disruptive. He actually kind of sounds like a purring cat.
Benny kind of whimpers sometimes, like a dog chasing something in his dream mostly. But if it’s a sad whimper you know he’s having a bad dream and it’s best to wake him before he starts crying.
Casimir always likes to be the little spoon. Doesn’t matter how tall his s/o is. Backpack baby. He’s also very quiet and his chest barely moves so sometimes it’s hard to tell if he’s alive.
Brady sleeps on his back completely straight like a sociopath.
Lisa’s very prim and proper, wears hair curlers to bed and shit. Mostly sleeps on her stomach though, fucking weirdo.
Maxine likes to hold hands, okay. She’s a big ass baby and likes to know her s/o is there.
Rayne absolutely loves sleeping on her s/o’s chest or curled up clinging to them behind like a backpack. Lets her nuzzle into the neck for warmth. She is also very, very quiet in her sleep. Corpse ass.
Bianca sleeps with one of those night blindfold thingies on that just says “puta” on it. So whoever wakes her up gets a nice insult.
Corbin likes to listen to some noise whenever he sleeps, no matter how subtle it may be. Sometimes he likes to fall asleep to his s/o talking or reading to him. Soothing.
Phoenix doesn’t actually ever settle down to sleep she just kinda.......passes out on the spot. Can’t stop won’t stop.
Niklas physically cannot sleep unless he has his boyfriends in bed with him. It doesn’t feel right unless he has his muscle bfs.
Stan can sleep whenever he wants to but it’s mostly in calls with Josh if he isn’t in the dorm room with him. If Josh is there, he flops over him.
Juniper LOVES having her s/o sleep on her chest. She’s fucking strong and believe it or not, her chest is actually REALLY soft. Also, her butt is a good pillow too if you wanna sleep and she’s still awake.
Simon rolls around a lot in his sleep if he’s in a bed alone. Can’t ever find a good place to get comfy. If he’s with someone, though, his movement is limited so he just kinda shuffles a lot.

James Porter & Son Diamonds shares the details of the HMS Glasgow Brooch worn by the Princess of Wales yesterday:
✨ A Moment of Great Pride ✨
We are honoured to share the HMS Glasgow Brooch, presented to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales ahead of the official naming ceremony of the Royal Navy warship HMS Glasgow.
Commissioned by James Porter & Son on behalf of The Worshipful Companies of Merchant Taylors and Fan Makers, the brooch is inspired by the crest of the Royal Navy warship HMS Glasgow.
Crafted from sterling silver, it features a depiction of St Kentigern — patron saint of Glasgow — framed by the Scottish thistle.
Simon Porter, our fifth-generation Managing Director, along with the team at James Porter & Son, wanted to include a distinctly Scottish element in the design.
After exploring several concepts, we decided the thistle was the perfect frame: symbolically Scottish, meaningful to Her Royal Highness’s love of nature, and visually striking with the ship’s crest at the centre.
The crown replaces the purple bloom of the thistle, further tying together its themes of heritage and honour.
As the ship’s sponsor since 2021, The Princess of Wales formally named HMS Glasgow yesterday with the traditional breaking of a bottle of whisky against the hull.
It has been a true privilege to create such a meaningful piece for our future Queen, and we hope it will be treasured for generations to come.
Catherine wears Diana’s sapphire and diamond earrings to launch HMS Glasgow
The Princess of Wales donned her late mother-in-law's jewellery to christen a new ship in Scotstoun
By Clara Strunck
23 May 2025
The Princess of Wales paired her smart dress with nude heels, a dark clutch bag and a silver brooch in the shape of a thistle, specially made by James Porter & Son – a Glasgow-based jeweller established in 1858.
Simon Porter of the historic company said they had been asked to design a brooch based on HMS Glasgow's crest and described it as an ‘absolute honour’ to see the Princess wearing the piece.
The brooch was funded by two London livery companies, the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers and the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors.
It was Catherine's cabochon sapphire drop earrings, however, which really stole the show.
Each features two large sapphires, surrounded by diamonds and separated by yet more diamonds to form two drops.
Thought to have been given to Princess Diana as a wedding present, they were a go-to in her jewellery box: the late Princess of Wales wore them for several special occasions, including on tour in Melbourne (when she wore them to dance that famous dance with John Travolta) and to the attend the Council of Fashion Designers Awards in New York in 1995.
In fact, she loved them so much that she even chose to wear them on the cover of British Vogue in honour of her 33rd birthday in 1994.
Catherine appears to have inherited this quite extraordinary pair of double cluster earrings from her late mother-in-law and also seems to favour them just as much as Diana did.
They have proved a versatile addition to her royal jewellery wardrobe, topping off outfits for numerous engagements – including the President of South Korea's state visit to London in 2023 and Trooping the Colour two years running.
Of course, Catherine may be particularly fond of these earrings as they form the perfect partner to her famous engagement ring, which also once belonged to Princess Diana.
