Candy Darling on her deathbed (1974) photog: Peter Hujar

Darling died of lymphoma on March 21, 1974, aged 29, at the Columbus Hospital division of the Cabrini Health Care Center. In a letter written on her deathbed and intended for Warhol and his followers, Darling wrote, "Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life ... I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death. Did you know I couldn't last. I always knew it. I wish I could meet you all again." Her funeral, held at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel, was attended by huge crowds. Julie Newmar read the eulogy. Darling's birth name was never spoken by the minister or any of the eulogizers. Faith Dane played a piano piece, and Gloria Swanson saluted Darling's coffin.

✨️👑 HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE MERCURY 👑✨️

And so here it is, the last artwork for Queen's birthdays, with the Queen himself! 🥰🥰🥰 I had a lot of fun drawing this, even if choosing just a few of his iconic costumes and outfits was super difficult 😅💕💕💕 In the middle, for the "most recent" Freddie, I chose to draw him in the beautiful Cat Vest from These Are The Days of Our Lives, hoping to portray all of Freddie's love and bravery, his beautiful smile while he declares his love for us 🥺💖💕💜💖💕💜

As for the colors I used the two colors I associate with him, royal purple and golden yellow, which was quite hard to use for the shadows but I'm super happy of the result and I really hope you like it too! 🙏🏻💕👑

Conversations I've had irl that scream Marauders pt. 2:

Sirius: So yeah, I'd rather be cold and look cool than....

Regulus: *interrupting Sirius* than be warm and look straight?

Sirius: Exactly Reggie!

"Some faggots were more beautiful than other faggots. The beautiful ones only wanted to touch and be touched by the other beautiful ones. Orchard was the most beautiful of all and all the beautiful faggots wanted to touch Orchard. One day Orchard made himself ugly, very ugly. When the beautiful faggots saw what he had done, they wept and then turned their backs on him and forgot him. Only the ugly faggots now wanted to touch Orchard. So he gathered them all together and took them to a mountain top where they lived in harmony and joy. As they learned to lobe each other more and more, Orchard and the other ugly faggots grew more and more beautiful. After many years they floated down from their mountain top into the town. The beautiful faggots were astounded by these newly arrived creatures. The beautiful faggots wanted to touch them all and love them forever. But Orchard said, "No, you are too ugly for us. Go and love the ugliest faggot you can discover and then we will love you in return." So they left the town and did as they were asked to do, spreading the notion that to love the ugliest will make both beautiful. At last, one day, all the faggots everywhere were so beautiful that no one had to think about it any more. Now they all loved and touched each other with great pleasure and ecstasy."
