sooo what if eury and zeph had to model in a modern AU? (They would both do it unwillingly i think at the behest of the Soleis family)

Also I realised I never provided an explanation for this but zephyr's skin is purple cause he's supposed to look like a corpse, due to his prior demonisation and un-demonisation (im still figuring that out)

(ignore the bad review and headline writing, i have never touched a fashion magazine before)

PS, zephyr’s last name is still in the works.

“He Just Like[s] Beans”

President Johnson’s White House taping system captures White House secretary Juanita Roberts and the Johnson Family’s longtime cook, Zephyr Wright, discussing the types of beans LBJ likes. Apparently, all of them: LBJ just liked beans.

Happy Birthday, LBJ!

Zephyr Wright

The White House kitchen, the workplace of some of the finest chefs in the United States, has been a place of Black excellence since the beginning. Zephyr Wright (1915-1988) was the personal chef for President Lyndon Johnson and a notably Civil Rights activist--her experiences were influential in the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Wright grew up in Marshall, Texas, and was inspired to join the Civil Rights Movement from a young age. In 1942, she was hired as a cook for Lady Bird and Lyndon Johnson (then a representative).

Despite her culinary excellence and the respect she earned, Wright lived in a segregated world. She was kept out of hotels, restaurants, and bathrooms. She outright refused to return to Texas with the Johnsons.

As president, Johnson often asked Wright's opinion on his political actions, including the appointment of Thurgood Marshall, the first Black person to the Supreme Court. She advocated for fair wages for Black workers in the White House and bravely told stories of her life of discrimination, part of why Johnson pushed so hard on Civil Rights legislation.

As both a chef and an activist, Zephyr Wright changed the world. She witnessed the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and, afterward, received the pen used to sign it from Johnson, who said "You deserve this more than anyone else." Her cooking was world-renown by politicians and dignitaries, and she would receive fanmail for her cooking long after her retirement. The New York Times has called Wright one of "6 Black Chefs Who Changed the History of Food".

Check out, and maybe try making, some of her recipes!

1. Pedernales River Chili (here mistakenly attributed to Lady Bird)

2. Shrimp Curry a la Zephyr Wright

I hit my summer goal of 20k for Wingbound today and it's not really a lot but I felt like it was a milestone (it's probably 1/4th of 1/5th), so.. celebratory post of highlights? Hopefully these are actually as amusing as I felt they were.

disclaimer: edgelords ahead. (zephyr acts the most like an edgelord but it's really eury who's the true edgelord) and I won't be providing much context.

Eury's POV

(questioning their own sanity)

(their attempt at asserting dominance)

Zephyr's POV

(there is no word for ace in this world so zephyr has to make do with this)

("planning out your death normal? yeah probably")

Edgelord quotes

yeah subtlety is not in my arsenal... i think those last two are gonna be part of some heartrending monologue or something

i saw yaelokre’s stream and wanted to do some portraits too

also Weiss is genderfluid and for some reason i cant draw her consistently…. stilll deciding on hair texture

had to redesign zephyr because i just.. dont like his old design. i think rn he looks more accurate to how i write him, like an actual young adult. plus idk what hairstyle to give him so i just long haired it lol

i cant draw masc people very well uhh

but yeah zeph’s canonical design has scars and burns. Burn scars specifically from the Rebellion, on his hands and neck because he reached through the fire to save Eury (Eury experiencing some serious ptsd and just blocked out a lot of stuff so theyre an unreliable narrator)
