So… I missed a few Fridays, but I’m still going to try for a weekly schedule. So sorry. This character is Gabe McDonnell. As described by his creator “he’s laid back, open minded and a helpful individual, but sometimes he just wants to be alone for various reasons.” His mother is dating a sleezeball boyfriend. He and his best friend AJ Maye are the first to find Sev. The face claim for this character is based on #tannerbuchanan while the character’s body type is based on the Archie cartoon of the 70s. He’s kind of the Mike Wheeler in terms of being the leader, but also shares that role with Tara in bonding with Sev. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #gabemcdonnell #gabe #mcdonnell #greaser #1970s #1976 #fanfic #stranger #things https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnmG2TDl_Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This is another one of the characters that I made over the Spring semester at school. Funny how I’m posting this character during Pride Month His name is Harley Barr, but his drag queen name is Bunny Shademoore. He’s a poledancer at a gay club as a means of making money at least until his band gets off the ground. Got street smarts and confidence to mask his vagueness and jumpy nerves towards most people. He grew up relatively well-off in New York City and was fascinated by the drag scene there. It made him feel confident when his interests and androgynous appearance got him bullied at school. Despite his rather sexual occupation, he is asexual. However, being 1976, it wouldn’t be common at the time and so most would assume he’s gay. As of this post, he’s only appeared in one chapter so far: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13948989/2/ Hopefully more to come as he could help the teens with his skills, loyalty, and being comfortable with gender being malleable. #sevenchronicles #strangerthings #Harleybarr #harley #barr #bunnyshademoore #bunny #shademoore #dragqueen #1976 #1970s #asexual #confident #loyal #androgynous https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUc-bjFkcC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hey. This is my first time posting anything onto Instagram. This past Spring semester I made character designs for this Stranger Things fanfic called Stranger Things: The Seven Chronicles. Technically it was for school, but I was having a sort of artist block when trying to think of something to work on for my class. I also wanted to make artwork for this fanfic because… well I created to characters personally for it. The fanfic is an SYOC fanfic (Submit/Select Your Own Character). The story takes place in 1976 in Rockford, Illinois where a group of teens find a strange boy who happens have waterbending powers. This character here is one I made for the fanfic. Her name is Natroya “Naty” Rhodes. She’s a black cheerleader who strives for perfection in her athletic ability and wants to maintain her position as a popular. Naty can come across as the mean girl, but mainly to those that are in the high school popularity hierarchy. She’s friends with classmates that are on the lower end of the popularity chain because they’re less of a threat to her. When talking to the author they sometimes say that Naty is like the Lucas of the teens. Granted the major difference between Naty and Lucas in my eyes is that Lucas’ hostility towards the new member of the group comes from the stress of one his best friends being missing. Naty’s hostility comes from not knowing who this teenage is and thus can’t recognize what he’s all about. She can figure out her classmates and whether they’re a threat to her on the high school social hierarchy, but not this teen in a hospital gown. Naty doesn’t have a missing friend, just the anomaly that this teenage boy is something she can’t figure out. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #natroya #natyrhodes #naty #natroyarhodes #black #bisexual #erisbaker #cheerleader #1970s #calvinhgatsby #syoc #friendship #coolgirl #popular #popularity #faceclaim #face #claim #rockfordillinois #rockford https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCZPZvFu5o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here’s 60’s Mindbreak Valentino! (Roleswap AU where he trades places with Husk. Only the Vees are swapped, everyone else is the same. Velvette takes Angel Dust’s role and Vox takes Niffty’s role.)
Inspired by for @redladydeath’s wonderful (and incredibly dark) RAM AU blog @randomly--accessed--memories!!!
The outfit he’s wearing was inspired by this!:
I think it’s from the 70s, if not then please tell me!
Here’s a clearer look at his outfit!:
[If you’re wondering why both of his antennas are messed up and is missing an eye, thank Alastor.]
Here’s eyepatch variants!:
(The lacy heart variants were made by Velvette and the X eye variants were made by Vaggie [she asked for sewing lessons from Velvette to make them]. The ones that look like his moth wing were traced from a screenshot.)
Finally, here’s the extras!:

Felt like drawing my oc Calliope on a 1970s fit (and changed her hair a bit), dunno how historically accurate it is but I'm tired, and I got inspired by a 70s playlist.
But now I'm curious... What would your oc's look like in 70s attire? Some food for thought (It's not that I'd totally like to see them-)
Have a good day/night!
would love some wine but don’t wanna become alcoholic again after 2months in psych ward

I sat down at my vanity mirror doing my hair when my stepbrother Aaron burst into my room. " ¿Qué carajo Aarón?" ( what the fuck Aaron?) I look at him," claim down Y/n." He looks me up and down. " Where are you going?" He asked," Nun, of your business." I say, fixing my messed up hair.
" Ms. Janet!" Aaron yells out my mama's name." I threw my hair brush at him he just laughed and closed my door. I rolled my eyes. I heard a knocking at him window. I walked over there, grabbing my bat next to it just in case.
I open the currents and see my boyfriend Robin smiling at me. I giggle and open the window. "Ah, Robin.~" I help him get into my room. Robin grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug. " cariño, es un gusto verte."
( Honey it's nice to see you.)
I smile at his words he is so corny. He grabbed her waist, pulling her closer. " Robin, stop.~" He kisses her mouth Passionately.
They fall onto her bed, still kissing Robin on top of her. Robin breaks the kiss smiles at her and falls next to her on the bed.
" You ready to go?" he asked me."Yeah." we still lay there looking at each other. The couple walked hand in hand to the drive-in like any other night.
Time skip.
Y/n and Robin sit on a small hill behind the drive-in popcorn and soda next to them.
As we watch the movie, I feel robin grab my hand.
dear george,
it was on this day 22 years ago that you tragically passed away, leaving behind a world of people who infinitely loved you.
you are still loved by us all, and sorely missed.
i’m holding you close to my heart, today and forever.
🕊️
end of the day post— 24 november, 2023. (will publish on 25th bc this will be a long one.)
i don’t think i was exactly ready yet to make my more intimate post earlier today, but i am now. i’m going to say everything i have to say.
dear freddie,
the 32nd anniversary of your death is coming to a close, and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about you throughout the day. today has been a day of reflecting on the impact you brought not just me but the world.
let me start by saying that i was barely 10 when i came out as queer. i was just starting to figure out myself, and growing up in a more right-winged than not area i had the odds against me as a person. having your influence even back then as a kid, you were one of the first people who helped me see that my sexuality would be nothing more and nothing less than a part of me. it does not define my abilities. it is simply there, and above all, a portion of my being that i should never be ashamed of. i am now in high school and a proud lesbian, and, in large part, i owe that happiness in myself to you.
i think i speak for many people here when i say that you have inspired us to have confidence in ourselves. you’ve inspired us to be bold and never hide from any opportunity. even THIRTY-TWO years after your death that influence is STILL strong and undying, and it will see no end.
which brings me to this.
freddie mercury, dreamer, singer and shining star:
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD can even HINDER your influence on the world. AIDS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HURT your soul and impact. i know for a fact that every person who remembered you today knows that as long as your music survives, you’ll be with us.
even though you may be in heaven your voice will always be heard.
love ya freddie. we all do. we all will, for the rest of time.
freddie,
today marks 32 years since we lost you, and we miss you more every day.
though you may be gone in body, through your songs your soul lives on.
fly high, angel. we love you.
🕊️
