Kennedy Family - Tumblr Posts

It was recently revealed that Ted Cruz’s own daughter was bisexual, and that she had recently gone into critical condition following an attempt to commit suicide or self harm. Cruz has recently waxed poetic about Uganda’s most recent homophobic laws—which can lead to death sentences.

I’m response to his most recent revelation I have one response: I am not surprised and utterly feel no sympathy. Cruz himself—as a member of the legislature for countless years—has done nothing but target women and queer individuals time and time again. Additionally this pattern is nothing new, and I have two prime examples.

Nerissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon were born in 1919 and 1926 respectively. The two were cousins to the Queen and Princess Margaret—yet the two has serious intellectual disabilities. They were both institutionalized by their mother—Lady Elizabeth—at Earlswood Hospital. Lady Elizabeth later reported that the two had died: Nerissa in 1940 and Katherine in 1961. It was later discovered that Lady Elizabeth had lied. Nerissa had died in 1986, with only the Earlswood staff at her funeral, and Katherine was still alive. In fact—Nerissa’s grave had only been marked with a serial number. Katherine would join her sister in 2014. In their entire time at Earlswood the two received no visitors, letters, or cards from any of their family.

While Nerissa and Katherine were locked away at Earlswood, Rosemary Kennedy—the younger sister of JFK—was plagued with violent mood swings and seizures. After being in a convent school in DC for some time her father—Senator Joseph Kennedy Sr—arranged for a lobotomy in 1941, only informing his wife after the surgery. The lobotomy left her incontinent and unable to walk or talk. Rosemary was immediately institutionalized. Neither of her parents would visit her and her siblings would only learn of her lobotomy and where she was institutionalized in 1961.

All of this to say this: the people in power and privilege have *records*. Records of abusing their own children and family. Never once should any oppressed person consider interacting with them—whether to comfort them or “compromise” with them on the political stage.

Our efforts should be actual targeted towards those who really need help: the abused—from on a national scale to those who have been intimately hurt by their bigotry.

Ugh it’s honestly so disappointing there are almost no JFK x Reader fics out there since I’ve had such a random and odd obsession with the Kennedy’s + their whole aesthetic and a small crush on JFK with nothing to fuel it. So I thought since it was summer I could spend some of my free time improving my writing by contributing to the “community” even when it’s just about 4 people tops. I’m lowk kinda high rn so lets see if this idea even sticks tomorrow but I think it’d be rlly fun so feel free to send in any fic ideas or even anything you wanna put out there Kennedy related!! I’m pretty sure I have my box open so don’t be shy!!

so um.. what happened to the jfk fic ideas? I’ve ran out of jfk x reader fics and im dying 😭 this fandom really is starving

Trust me, me too. I haven’t gotten any requests at all and I’m in need for some so if you have any lmk cuz trust- I’ve been starving too!!

I actually left for vacation like three days after I put out that post so I hadn’t had the time to think AND write but I’m sure I will soon. It’s just a little hard since I haven’t gotten any feedback of what the fandom wants. I have an idea but I want a solid start to get a feel because I haven’t written at all for him yet.

So PLEASE!!! if anyone has any reqs, send them in!

Ouuuu what about a popular singer in America at the time that’s basically like a whole Lana Del Rey, but the 60’s, and she’s super well known for having her own sound or something like that?!?

Everyone loves her and her music, including Mr JFK who tells his secret service to slip her a number for a fun time at Crosby’s Mansion😏

He’s basically smitten with her when he sees what she can do in bed ( she’s a fighting dom)😭😭

Oh and there’s an age gap..

I guess this is what happens when you listen to too much Lana in one night💀💀

The way you literally read my mind.

I had actually been wanting to do this for a long time and the day you sent this I was about to put out a post asking if you all were interested in something like this.

I’ve been so intrigued with Lana’s use of the Kennedy mythos and constant presence of the Americana aesthetic in her music; especially in her older unreleased songs as well as, especially in, Born To Die. I see it in so much more than just National Anthem, American, etc.

I originally planned on writing a fic loosely based on a couple of her songs- but I love this req. It might be hard but I’m always up for a challenge!! I do have something hopefully coming in the next week or so, but I’m so tempted to work on this one immediately.

Lana for sure has been an inspiration in my work so far- she’s all I listen to while I’ve been working on my reqs, so I get you.
