"Good evening Mr. Lawrence! The newest releases are in, which ones do you want us to hang the poster for in the displays; Spaceballs, Predator, or Witches of Eastwick?"

( @videomaxxinista ) (( Thank you for the warm welcome! ))

"Oh, hmm...Predator, I think. People like a good scare, don't they! A horror movie might attract a bigger crowd, especially with so many...intereating people on the boardwalk these days. Thank you Maria, don't know what I would do without you."

Rose hadn’t been at Blue Velvet. Again.

Marko wasn’t sure exactly how long she hadn’t been performing for...but it was the last straw that night. His anxiety was already on high, mind racing to a thousand things that could be wrong despite trying to calm his nerves...but it was getting to be too much. She hadn’t performed, which meant she hadn’t fed. That was enough to send him straight to her door, hands trembling as his emotions ran wild.

She was hiding, avoiding something...or someone, and it didn’t take a genius to figure out who. He’d seen the bastard, her sire, lingering around the club, searching, waiting. His claws had itched to tear into his flesh, fangs ached to tear out his throat; but Rose had forbidden it, so he’d restrained himself. She ‘didn’t want him getting hurt’, which he’d resisted the urge to scoff at, fully believing he could take down an old sire if fuelled by enough rage.

But that wasn’t important right now. Now, he stood at Rose’s door, knocking loudly. The sun had gone down hours ago. She should be moving around.

“Rosie...?”

Michael is at first amazed and awed and terrified of the boys...

Until Paul randomly pulls him aside and asks to play mermaids. He awkwardly says yes and has the best time of his life.

David TLB talking to Michael TLB but it's the song "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. Send post.

"Mom, this is my... David."

The Son She Never Had

A brief one-shot, where Michael introduces David to his mother.

Since I teased that it had, in fact, happened, sometime before the Christmas fic. Ever since posting "Lasagna Night," I was thinking that moment really deserved to be explored.

It's interesting to me, because Lucy shows no fear of David and the boys, outside of the deleted scene where they're circling her with their bikes. But would she feel differently if David were her elder son's boyfriend? Would protective maternal instincts kick into overdrive? Because she has that side, too.

All in all, at least in this specific scenario, David's pretty charming. Maybe a little TOO charming, but hey...

I know it’s been posted before, but not by me, I don’t think. In case anyone wondered what yearbook-reminiscent character archetype thing I was talking about. It’s made the rounds, I think, but I’m sharing it in case anyone has missed it.

(I screenshot it off a now-deleted Feldman Facebook fan page, hence the watermark)

"Born Slippy" but make it about The Lost Boys

Because isn't EVERYTHING about The Lost Boys?

Been listening to this a lot, again, after having forgotten about it for some time. Had the Trainspotting soundtrack on CD. Maybe still do?

But as I've heard it recently while driving, I was thinking about all these archetypes of clubbing/party boys described in the lyrics and wondering which ones might fit which of the boys.

Partly because of that yearbook-style character archetype of TLB cast, that I had seen, which a friend from MY high school era had said a guy we both knew would have had a field day deciding based on the descriptions, which one of the characters we all were.

My thoughts:

(And yes, this is probably combining types of boys that were intended to represent individual personas, but hey... it's for funsies)

Michael: "Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy"

Maybe not dirty to BEGIN with, but he sees some things... and I still think there is something Biblical about a kid named for an archangel "battling evil" (not in an anti-queer way, in an anti-killing way).

and maybe also:

"And remembering nothing boy" for the time he lost while blood drunk.

David:

"Let your feelings slip, boy, but never your mask boy. Random blonde boy high density"

and

"tears boy"

Paul:

"You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you"

and maybe

"she was a lipstick boy"

I feel like Paul would let you play with makeup, on him, and mess with gender roles. He strikes me as the most immediately likely to do so. Or even suggest it, while watching someone else get ready.

Dwayne:

"And all in your inner space boy"

and

"steel boy"

Marko:

"big, big time boy"

Because although Marko isn't as tall as the others, he seems to contain a great deal of chaos, waiting to be unleashed.

and

"in the doorway boy"

Not sure why that line, but I like it for Marko. Maybe because he's forever on the go for David. Kind of on the outskirts of the group of them, as the errand boy. "Marko? Food." And "Marko, what's going on?" And "Marko?" just before Marko says "Goodnight, Michael."

David addressing Michael:

"You are my drug boy, you're real boy. Speak to me and boy, dog dirty numb cracking boy."

and

"You got a velvet mouth. You're so succulent and beautiful. Shimmering and dirty wonderful. And hot times on your telephone line. You got to neverland on your telephone. And in walks an angel."

And this song is very much about boys, but, for Star, even if it's likely intended to be about an effeminate boy or boy in drag:

"She said 'Come over, come over.' She smiled at you, boy."
