Keep reading for more details and the significance of this artwork.

: ̗̀➛ The meaning behind the artwork:

A winter flower, the camellia is prized for its exquisitely shaped petals and evergreen foliage. Deep red camellias can symbolize passion, love, romance, and desire and convey “my heart bleeds for you” Blue roses are rare, and a popular gift among lovers, who often give them to express their feelings for one another. Dark shades of blue roses mean mystery and a dream come true. They represent the attainment of the impossible. 

These flowers are a display of love ♡

: ̗̀➛ What is the Harringrove Relay Race? 

A relay race is an event where every hour (or more, or less, depending on the number of participants), a creator reveals their work at an assigned time, and then "passes the baton" by introducing the next creator in line to reveal their work. 

This particular event will last for 24 hours nonstop until all the works have been revealed.

After the relay race, the artists and authors will receive a PDF memory book of all the works contributed to the race, as a thank-you for taking part.

: ̗̀➛ Where will it take place?

December 22nd, 2023 on Tumblr. All works will be shared under the #harringrove relay race tag.

Artists and authors are free to reveal their works on other platforms as long as it is at their assigned time. 

: ̗̀➛ When will the timetable and participants be revealed?

The timetable and list of participants will be revealed on December 1st, to give participants time to schedule their work or be available at their reveal time.

: ̗̀➛ Can I participate? 

Participants in the race have been personally invited, but you can support the creators by reblogging, liking, and leaving positive feedback.

Hopefully, there will be another relay race and you are welcome to send a message if you’re interested in participating next time!

There is no specific criteria or application process. we just reached out to as many people as we could think of, in the hopes that this would be successful ♡

If you have not filled out the form sent with your invitation, we will not be able to add you to the timeline. So please do so as soon as possible!

It's the queen's birthday today

i’m obsessed with dark coquette 🖤

I forgot to upload my Billy Hargrove ASMR video here of his soft speaking, vroom vroom and homosexual basketball playing.

Someone put it in words for me. THIS. I'm able to finally see the other side and I love that cause why would I want to believe that everyone just fucking hates me? I can finally see a possibility. Growing up, I had to learn when a classmates words were theirs vs. the adults around them. I learned to tell when classmates were forced to no longer be around me, and honestly, it felt better to hate their parents than to hate them. I took those words as someone's else's that so happened to come from the nice big kid in school. I know their nice. I've seen them, be it.

I relate to Billy a lot. Dealt with a lot of abuse and prejudice from my father. I wasn't able to fix my thought process until I left, and I know that it's possible in real life cause I've seen it. So why can't I make Billy do the same? I was friends with a dude for over eight years. His mother told him we couldn't be friends cause I was after his money. (He's gay and at the time, I was dating strictly femme). He listened to everything his mother said about me when she only met me for an hour. He started looking back on how she acted, and he deemed her unsafe for me to be around. We just had to wait for college to rekindle our friendship when she wasn't around and couldn't dictate him.

I went off track cause my brain started unlocking shit but I would much rather believe that my bullies like Billy were going through the same shit like me and just couldn't do anything til they got out. Until they got the help they needed. Some of now are fucking civil rights activists and they help counsel people who are struggling with bigotry. I have seen it happen in real life, so why can't this fictional character do the same in my head?

Y'know what's funny about people insisting you can't like Billy because there are real life people bullied by people like him?

I've been bullied by people like him.

I grew up black in a backwater town, dudes like him were fucking everywhere. To this day there's a set of twins that only I can tell apart reliably because I got in a fight with one and scarred his eyebrow. They both acted just like him, bullied me for the same shit he does in canon.

But you know what?? Viewing it through a fictional lense allows me to make a distance I couldn't with my real life bullies. I can take that step back and begin to empathize with him because this ISN'T real life. I can see the factors that are making him act like he does and it then helps me connect it back to those real life people. How many of them were hurting down deep? How many of them were scared kids on the wrong end of their Dad's belt? How many of them could have benefitted from someone taking the time to reach out?

And that is what fiction is SUPPOSED to do. Give you the distance to consider a perspective you might not be able to see in your day to day life. And I don't know about y’all but it makes healing a little bit easier for me when I consider that the person who hurt me might just have been a scared kid too.

Isn't this how that scene went when they were spying on Billy?
