(all) Ears

Ears: How many times have you heard something you wish you never had?

"Plenty, I'd say I've heard my parents say different variations of not wanting me for most of my childhood. And Anka has told me a few too many times that they didn't think what we had was anything... serious. I think the first one I could've done without, but the latter hurt the most." @hxneybvns

"I'm not sure I know what you mean? I don't think I've ever heard something I wished I'd never heard. Why would I want to unhear something? That seems rather impossible."

"I-- uhm, I wish Cyrek hadn't suggested my mom left me here." @nxnbinarydracvla

"There is one thing that I wish someone could pull from my skull, when they said the boys we'd been fighting were dead, that will never leave me, but just not having heard it wouldn't have changed the fact. I also wished I'd never heard the sounds of Atticus and Micah going at it." @pcisxnivys

"There's a shit fucked ton of stuff I wished I'd never heard, but you ain't getting a fucking sob story from me, grey face."

"A lot... five?"

"I wish I hadn't heard the sadness in my wife's voice when she said goodbye to me and her children. When we didn't know those would be her final words yet. But it sounded as if she knew. I wish she hadn't known."

Hii~ it's me again.

You said The Athlete has siblings right? How is he with them? Or just generally with his family, as of current day?

Also, (with Childhood bestf Darling) what would he do if they had a crush? What if it was one of his other team members?

Nobody can convince me that the absolute black cat of a darling I have in mind would ever have a crush in a normal way.

At first, darling is crushing hard on someone, doesn't really realize it, but a certain other guy does. Then, when darling does realize, they do everything in their power to push that person away and I imagine he's right there, on calls with them late at night as they complain about their crush, because-

"he's horrible, right? And he doesn't even like me. Ugh. I hate him so much. He's cruel, and selfish, and arrogant, who'd like a guy like that?"

Insert our boy with the sweetest, "Of course, pumpkin. He's horrible, you know what he did last summer..." (Cue him telling darling about the most atrocious thing darling's crush ever did.)

Okay, okay, so let me tell you about LoveSick!Athlete and his childhood, more so his siblings. LoveSick!Athlete is the oldest, though he does have an older half-brother. He's not too close to him, and he was never around. This means, that in the family dynamic, LoveSick!Athlete was the oldest.

Now, after him, he has a little sister, who he is very, very, very close to. Her name is Nayda and she's only a year or two younger than him, they have the same dad, who is a complete scumbag btw.

After Nayda and LoveSick!Athlete there's the twins, who are only two years old. They have a different dad from Nayda and LoveSick!Athlete. They're interracial babies (meaning they're a mix of black and white, in this situation), and this has caused a whole bunch of issues for LoveSick!Athlete and his mama. Especially since where he's from, people aren't the most accepting of interracial couples. There have been far too many times when these old ladies will make too many assumptions with their grabby-ass hands, leading to a whole assortment of problems.

LoveSick!Athlete is close with his family and he feels very protective over them, particularly toward his mama and sister. This is partially because they're women and he has a, slightly, closeminded view of women. He sees them as something he needs to protect. He was raised to never, ever hit a girl, ever. That was seen as unacceptable and it was something his mama would be pissed over.

However, this doesn't mean that he thinks women shouldn't work or anything, it's just that he feels an instinctual need to protect women, even if they can handle themselves. This stems from his unstable childhood; how he would see his mama struggle, both financially and romantically. Because she was the only woman he ever really interacted with, rather than his sister, he grew this instinctual, primal even, need to protect women based on his experiences of watching his mama.

Then there's the twins, Bijan and Abbas, who LoveSick!Athlete isn't too close with. Of course, when he's home for holidays, he always, always helps his mama and stepdad with taking care of the unruly toddlers. He enjoys taking care of them, but he doesn't really see them as his siblings, seeing as he was already out of the house by the time they were born.

Though, LoveSick!Athlete does have a good relationship with his stepdad, seeing as his stepdad is a far better man than his pa ever was. His stepdad was his mama's therapist (ooo interesting dynamic), and he really helped his mama through the filling of a restraining order process (it was against his pa). He even calls him dad, something he never did with his pa. LoveSick!Athlete's mama always makes them have "bro-time", as she calls it. She wants her two favorite boys to get along, and it warms her heart every time she sees them sharing a moment, usually, it's a conversation relating to her.

LoveSick!Athlete respects his stepdad as both a man and a person; he believes that he'll take good care of his mama when he isn't there, which is his top priority. He wants his mama to have a stable life, for her to get out of the projects, and have a nice home. LoveSick!Athlete, no doubt, is a mama's boy and always has been. He loves his mama to death and would love for you to meet her. He thinks she'd absolutely adore you, and she does (from what she's heard about you).

Due to how many siblings, and cousins, this man has, he's very, very, very good with children. Out of all of his cousins, he's the third oldest, meaning that he had to take care of all the younger kids. He was always left giving the baby the bottle or picking the twins up from school.

It wasn't his favorite thing in the world, being a babysitter, but it never bothered him too much as he's very good with kids. Babies seem to just relax around him, giving his mama much relief. He just has this atmosphere around him that kids just seem to love.

LoveSick!Athlete likes how energetic kids can be and how they seem to have a rose-colored view of the world. Their overall optimism really brightens his day and he can't help but let his mind wander, thinking of what your children would look like. Would they have your eyes? He hopes so; he really thinks your eyes are beautiful. The way your iris shimmers under light; how he can see his reflection in your eyes. It's like he can see right through you; your every emotion is reflected in your colorful eyes. Whatever you're hiding or refusing to tell him, he can see in them.

Sometimes, LoveSick!Athlete will just sit there and stare at you, without your knowledge, of course. While you two are on a date, he'll just watch you stuff your mouth, unaware of his peering gaze. He just can't rip his eyes away from yours; he sees his future in them, your future together. You'll catch him, eventually, staring at you like a lovesick idiot. And he'll just shrug, after all, he can't deny my feelings, sweetcheeks. You're far too easy on the eyes to not stare at! Don't derive a man from a good view, yeah?

He'll smirk, leaning his cheek against the palm of his hand, and smile slyly.

He's very subtle with his little baby fever spurts. He'll periodically have moments where he'll feel this overwhelming need to breed you, to make your tummy swell with his children. He wants to make you the mother of his kids, to make you a sweet, little mama. He knows you'd be great; you'd be such a good mother, he thinks.

When the two of you are cuddling, he'll absentmindedly rub his hand up and down your midriff, letting his calloused hand trail down to right above your center. LoveSick!Athlete would hold your waist a little tighter, the thought of you all stuff with him, him, him makes him go insane.

He'll hint it to you when the two of you are going at it; your legs hiked up on his shoulders; he's plowing through you. He's never quiet when making love, as he calls it, but when the baby fever is hitting hard, he's never closing his mouth. Little gasps and pants leave his mouth, going on and on about how you're the one for him, baby. God, you'd be such a pretty mommy. Mhm- let me make you a mama, c'mon, angel, I know we're young, b-but I'll make, make it happen. Umgh- for you.

And he'll pout and whine when you refuse to let him go raw, forcing him into a condom. He'll put every excuse in the book. It's too small, 'm too gifted for this tiny rubber, babes. Just lemme go in there, I swear I'll put out(((

He won't, that was a lie, but once you get to that point, where you're all sweaty, sex is heavy in the air, and your mind is all fuzzy, you won't care. You'll forget all about that stupid condom you were so adamant about a few minutes ago. And he's so, so, so glad you did, 'cause now he can let you have all of him, and I mean all of him. The thought of you all stuffed with his cum spurs him on, causing him to tighten his hold around your, already bruised thighs, and kiss up and down your belly, his muscular form hunched over your sweaty one.

LoveSick!Athlete just wants to be a daddy :( And you won't lie, the way he dots on his younger siblings causes your heart to clench; the idea of having a family, though you're both so young, becomes more and more appealing as the days pass by. You just know he would be a good father, you can tell by how his gaze softens with he sees a woman pushing a stroller or a toddler babbling on and on about some random bird they saw.

And he knows the same thoughts are flooding your mind, and he begs you to give in to them, but you always deny it, pushing his face away from yours. You are in college, trying to pursue a career, that you haven't even started, you don't have time for a family yet, you tell him, but all he hears is that you want to have a family with him, at some point. LoveSick!Athlete just has selective hearing, I suppose, as he just grabs your shoulders and gives you an excited smile. He leans close, whispering in your ear, so you do want to have kids? Yeah? I can make it happen; I can take care of you, just wait. I can wait, just for you. We'd be such good parents, babe.

Just wait, he'll convince you, eventually. He's very persuasive, me thinks ;)

ANMOL BODHI MOHAN (our VINNY CHHIBBER) is looking for their SISTER (last name Kumar). They’re a 45 yo HUMAN (or WEREWOLF), who look like FEM-FC OF INDIAN DESCENT. You DO NOT need to approach the player. 

( death mention tw, mob mention tw ) Bodhi and his sister were always fighting for the approval of their father, a mob boss from Brighton. But it was his sister who actually had the good ideas, and Bodhi who often claimed them for himself and went off with them. When his father found out, he dropped Bodhi off with the enemy hoping he'd never return, and Bodhi's sister became the sole heir to the crime empire. Everyone in their family thinks Bodhi is dead.

FABIO BASTIAN CISNERAS GUCUAMAYA (our TONY REVOLORI) is looking for their SIBLING WHO GOT TURNED. They’re a 30-34 yo WEREWOLF, who look like FCOC preferred. You DO NOT need to approach the player. 

(death mention tw) Fabio and their adopted family (total of 7 adopted kids, and two parents) were camping when three siblings and the mother got attacked and bitten by a pack of Werewolves. Only the older sibling survived. Dealing with guilt and without anyone to help them change, Fabio took full responsibility. They stuck around in Guatemala City for a few years more before moving to Fenrir's Wood 5 years ago, a move the sibling initiated.

(death mention tw) Fabio and their adopted family (total of 7 adopted kids, and two parents) were camping when three siblings and the mother got attacked and bitten by a pack of Werewolves. Only the older sibling survived. While the other siblings attempted to get their life back in order, Fabio and the sibling hid the secret of their Lycanthropy and then up and left for the UK. Their siblings could've followed them to find out what was happening.

(death mention tw) Bijan's Nibling and some of their friends went to the UK for a summer, staying in Fenrir's Wood they got attacked on a full moon and needed to go to the hospital. Only the two friends survived, and not knowing what was happening were soon approached by the local packs. Bijan moved to Fenrir's Wood to be there for them and has been supporting them ever since. The two have decided to stay in Fenrir's Wood because they don't know any packs in Iran nor do they want to hurt their family. I figured they'd both be studying at the University but they also could've finished already!

Bijan is doing research on Lycanthropy at the local university, of course he doesn't do this alone, his colleague has their own history with Werewolves. Whether good or bad, through loss or their own experience. They spend a whole lot of time together, especially on full moons, and are each other's emotional support whenever one of them is dealing with something personal.

Why the NFC South will have the best division race in the NFL (And why the Falcons will win it)

We are already 7 weeks into the 2023 NFL season. Around this point in the season, you start looking at divisional games a little bit more, and paying attention to who would make the playoffs if the season ended today. Sitting here, we have a bunch of big time divisional rivalries to look at. The Bills and Dolphins fighting it out to see who is the new king of the AFC East, the NFC West looking like the NFC West of old, and, somewhat surprisingly, the NFC South sticking in there. I fully believe that the NFC South will have one of the greatest divisional races of all time, and here’s why.

No, the NFC South doesn't have any big-name teams. And, yes, every team in this division has a bottom 16 quarterback in the league. But that’s every team in this division. The Saints are rolling with Dereck Carr for their campaign, currently sitting at 3-4. The Bucs are rocking with Baker Mayfield, and they sit at 3-3. The Falcons are sticking with Desmond Ridder, and they have a 4-3 record. Hell, even the Panthers, who are starting a rookie Bryce Young and who currently sit at 0-6 still have a chance to make the playoffs.

For most playoff teams, they’re schedule will get harder as the season goes on. Not these teams. The Falcons have the “easiest” remaining schedule in the NFL, with the Bucs and Saints not too far behind them, ranking at 27th and 18th respectively. They don’t coin the phrase “Any given Sunday” for no reason. Because on any given Sunday, the Panthers could easily rattle off a bunch of wins against the Texans, Colts, and Bears, while the Falcons, Saints, and Bucs all go on cold spells, and all of a sudden, the Panthers are sitting at 3-6, tied for 2nd in the division, and 1 game behind the first place Falcons.

But, who do I see winning this division? Well if you look at how the roster is constructed, I don’t know how you can look at the Atlanta Falcons roster, and say that they are not making the playoffs. Desmond Ridder, despite some early woes, will get it together as he gets more experience under his belt. The three-headed monster of Bijan, Tyler, and CP will terrorize defenses, and Ridder has weapons he can trust in London, Hollins, Pitts, and now Jonnu Smith. The defense is still a brick wall that has only allowed 1 rushing touchdown all season. All I’m saying is, don’t be surprised when the Falcons come out of January hosting a playoff game. And like I said back in May, “fuck around and bring a playoff game to the benz. see what happens.”

(just some sources for my bitching in the tags earlier lmao)

Twitch said, “Last year, in order to address scams and other harms stemming from questionable gambling sites, we prohibited sharing links or referral codes to sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games. After monitoring the update’s impact for the last year, as well as hearing directly from you, it became clear that some people were circumventing those rules, and that further steps were necessary. “Starting 18 October, we are further tightening our rules to also prohibit any streaming of listed sites that contain slots, roulette, and dice games…This updated policy applies to all global community members.” This gambling ban impacted Stake, an Australian-Curaçaoan crypto casino. Before October last year, Twitch streamers were using bitcoin to play Stake’s digital slot machines.  So, in response to this ban, did Stake get mad? No. They instead went off and founded their own platform.  In December of 2022, Kick became a reality. It was financially backed by Bijan Tehrani and Ed Craven, the co-founders of Stake. 

There are mainly three accusations made in this article: chat message fabrication, arbitrary file write / XSS and arbitrary file read / improper aws access control. [...] They discovered that when pinning a message, the entire message metadata is sent along with it. This enables any user to impersonate any other chat member. [...] Kick used Laravel’s Vapor upload system in an incorrect manner. This misconfiguration granted unauthorized users complete control over the content type and file extension during the uploading process, which means they could upload files other than just images eg malwares. [...] Third, arbitrary file read / improper aws access control. "Turns out, the main user content bucket was publicly viewable by just going to the root of the domain! Fun, am I right? All your user uploaded content available to the public, but it gets worse! It doesn't even get removed if you delete it."

i support every persons right to like whatever streamers they like but if certain fans now start defending kick.com as a platform and downplaying its connections to stake and its purpose mostly as a way to promote gambling in an environment even less regulated than twitch because their gamer is on there i'm gonna start lighting shit on fire

BIJAN MOUSAVI | previously known as THE MENTOR | identifies as CIS-MAN, goes by HE/HIM, and is GAY | born AUGUST 4TH 1979 | from TABRIZ, IRAN | works as a MICROBIOLOGY PROFESSOR A THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA and FORMER HANDLER FOR THE SCARLET NIGHTMARE | is OBSESSIVE and ERRATIC, DEDICATED & INTELLIGENT | lives in THE MARIONETTE | is known as THE SILENT STORM

Bijan doesn't know what happened to the real Bijan Mousavi, but surely he has nothing to do with it. All he knows is that he was programmed with the same curious and erratic nature as the real one. It has left him for one very good at his job as a handler, but also unreliable in keeping to his mission. A mistake, surely. As a handler he rarely went out in the field himself, though there have been instances. He was asked to retire, to be decommissioned because his behaviour was becoming more and more erratic, after almost putting the project on the line for the sake of 'research'. And now? There is still the rare need to be a part of it all again.

headcanons/wanted connections below

headcanons

Bijan has moments where he can get completely lost in some subject or other, mostly related to biology, microbiology, and cloning/genetics. He just sort of fades away in his research, hiding behind folders and books.

Is gay and has just recently come out of a very long relationship.

Bijan is quickly interested in something, he tends to over-think a whole lot, but mostly in silence. He has the tendency to just fade out of a conversation or let long silences pass before answering. You really need to have patience with him.

Considers himself a villain of sorts, all he's done has not been for any greater good, but for the request of a few. He doesn't see a need to repent for this, but he does find it interesting to think about. Morality, good and evil, and so forth.

wanted connections

students (either his or students at the university)

fellow professors or people who spend far too much time at libraries or with their head in books

friends, Bijan has been in Anchorage for over two decades, he's friendly, though also a little awkward and known to just disappear off of the face of the earth for no reason only to turn up some weeks later

fellow miroirs (if dormant Bijan might know they are, if not dormant, Bijan might've tried to speak about their situation at times, secretively, if only to figure it out more)

[bellwitchfaggot]

different anon, i agree. bij's given me uncomfortable vibes as well and from the times he's joined streams with pat and thomas, he gets kind of explicit and starts to heavily drink during those streams/makes uncomfortable remarks which I can see and feel the uncomfort in pat but he doesn't know how to respond/doesn't want to be rude, I guess, especially live, so it's all a difficult situation.

Ok tbh first of all wrt the first ask I wanna say I understand where ur coming from but like u don't know pat gill or his friendship with Bijan and most of the time we as fans r not as good at picking up on content creators real feelings as well as we think and u have no way of knowing that pat was genuinely uncomfortable and implying that Bijan "heavily drinking" made pat uncomfortable is a really slippery slope like they ARE friends and theres nothing inherently with "heavily drinking" when you're with your friends. If it made you uncomfortable thats understandable I just wanna be sure and say you gotta be careful about projecting those feelings on someone you don't know just cuz u like their content and tbh as a recovering alcoholic the use of the words heavily drinking just feels kinda weird to me

Anyway wrt the second ask: that is really shitty and im sorry that happened, if he's going throigh the trouble of looking in tumblr fandom tags I feel like it should be understood that if he comes across anything that makes him uncomfortable its kind of on him. Thats like going looking for people talking shit about you and then getting mad they're talking shit. Just don't go lookinf in the first place my friends

ILL FL NFL Breakdown🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are slated to be a presence in the AFC East. Besides being one of the few teams who could possibly sustain two #1 receivers (fantasy wise). Tua's health will of course always be a concern given the recent history of concussions but at his ADP (average draft position) he is a great value In the rounds he was taken, unless reaches for. Tua could be a fringe QB1. With thier yound gen z head coach implementing a similar style that brought him success in San Frann the RBs committee would be more likely. Moestart is great when healthy. Jeff Wilson is familiar with the system. Achain the rookie is one to keep an eye on. Dolphins also added on defense with Ramsey across from Howard - arguably the best duo of secondary in the league. Geseki is out so all the volume should funnel to Waddle & Tyreek. This was especially evident in week 1.

Atlanta Falcons

Desmond Ridder, is he the future or is he a bust? The season might be the indicator. The NFC South is open thanks to the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady retring for the NFL. The exciting new draft prospect RB Bijan Robinson showed a why he was the 1st RB off the board. What was surprising was the usage Tyler got particularly in the receiving end. It could be an easy in of Bijan OR perhaps a split carry backfield. Drake London was a receiver in the 3 to 6 rounds filling in as a key cog player on many teams. What was more concerning than the output was the lack of targets from the get go. ATL may be a run 1st offense leaving Pitts and Drake in the lower rank of options for the play calling which doesn't bode well for those who drafted them. Teams who invested in Pitts as a mid tier TE are especially angry. The Falcons defense are not that stout but the team could have enough juice to compete for that division with weak offenses with the other NFC South teams.

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams were largely written off. Kupp injury woes had fantasy players skittish about drafting him despite being a target hog from Stafford who usually serves as a via low end QB back up on many teams bench. With news of Kupp out, some in the fantasy world thought Van Jefferson would step up but it was preseason darling Puka who shined in their season debut. Will the rookie be viable once Kupp returns? Will Kupp return? If you have to see a specialist for your hamstring it can't be good. He is this offense. TuTu Atwell has been a gadget player at best, not reliable week to week. Cam Akers was being passed up in drafts due to obvious reasons. Regardless of Akers clear volume opportunity, it was 2nd yr K. Williams that made the most of his snap share. Perhaps with Rams Defense they can be a bye plug n play. Questions about Aaron Donald's will to actually play (contemplated retirement after the superbowl) and loss of Ramsey, we'll have to see where they land in rank. TE Higbee might be the Sleeper late round flier or waiver add that has the most upside.

Cleveland Browns

No one should be surprised about the dominant Browns defense. Sure the off timing of Burrow and company pooped 💩 the bed, but Myless Garrett and friends have played this divisional matchup close in the past 5 years. They knew how to shut the Bengals out & get to Burrow. Chubb I fell has been disrespected as others were ranked higher than him in the draft. He has always produced consistently with only few injuries. Hunt is now gone from the team so the passing volume only boosts his value as a top tier RB. Ford is the back up but observing his week 1 work, on the offset, doesn't seem to be factored in the running game plans. Watson again hasn't played a long stretch of football in about 3 years so adjusting will take longer. The hope he can return to form from his Houston days are the crutch. He has skills that separate him physically from other QBs. He'll need to capitalize on those to justify where he was drafted on teams as a starter. His resurgence leads in the the Amari Coopers and People's Jones of the world. Njoku chemistry with Watson is what to watch.

Dallas Cowboys

Everything is bigger in Texas. The big D put a hurting on the G-men. The past few years with Dan Quinn as coordinator has shown Dallas steadily becoming one of the best (if not the best) defense in the league. Parsons, Diggs, this team is not slacking in defensive Stallworths. Questions abound about Daks place in the organization. The team is loaded and expectations are even higher. This may be common for 🤠 cowboy fans but this year is especially interesting. Take into account the 40-0 prime time win. The box score didn't match the fantasy output. Prescott didn't max out his line and newly acquired Cooks got injured. Pollard showed why the fantasy world were vouching for him to start. Jerry Jones and Zeek parted ways leaving that opportunity for Pollard to become the #1 RB. Gallup is not really a factor. They have a promising crop of new TEs with Dalton off to the other side of Texas. Kellen Moore the coordinator left for the Chargers. Mike McCarthy is now calling plays in addition to his head coaching duties. He too is on the hot seat. Let's see if he can replicate his Green Bay calling Days for this offense.

Detroit Lions

Lions hype train is real. The Lions have built upon thier first winning record season in a long time upsetting a division rival (costing them the playoffs after thier slim hopes were dashed right before the start of the game) running off Rodgers to the Jets. Lions beat the defending Super Bowl Champions Chiefs arguably an upset but smart betting hedge. The Lions are feisty. They have adopted the head coaches moxy and it shows. Goff is slightly more than serviceable. His stat line off the charts. AmonRa is a top tier WR. Gibbs the rookie has high hopes. Even with Montgomery from the Bears coming over and padding his stats, Gibbs is the future. It may be a 60/40 split but as the season progresses we may see a shift. Swift is out and this new RB duo is the immediate payoff. Marvin Jones is back with his OG team but was not a factor. Be on the lookout though. Since week 9 of last year the Lions have played zone defense. After being one of the historic worst - they have gradually become a better pass defense. With Hockenson traded mid season last year, the TE shares are up in the air.

New York Jets

Biggest hype of the off season came to a crashing halt. 4 plays in the first drive of NY great hope Rodgers...out for the season with an Achilles injury. Devastating 💔

Hard knocks, Aaron Rodgers media narrative, the recent lackluster history of the Jets franchise, big QB move, front office drama, arguably one of the best recent drafting years by the GM of the Jets with thier defense (Quinen) and offense (Garrett Wilson), all the stars aligned but a comet came crashing through. Now Wilson's stock plummets. The defense should still be one of the( if not THE) top Defenses in the league. Any of the carry overs from Green to Green (Cobb & Lazard) will not be a factor. The team is being pressured to bring in a vet preferred over the irractic Zach Wilson. But who is out there? Breece Hall may be worked back in slow but he showed out. Those who invested in Cook may have felt let down in week 1 but hold steady. They paid him big money...he will be used.

New England Patriots

Patriots were slated to be an afterthought. They brought it against the eagles. Now they look competent? Well, pencil pavorati (Matt Patricia) is no longer calling the offense. WHY!! Why would Bill have a defensive coordinator call offense plays? A genius but also a wildly abstract choice (wasn't Bills first). Lets face it. A belichick led team is the worst to figure out. He cares about winning and adjusts on the fly. Or doesn't. Makes him a hall of fame coach but a point of contention in the fantasy community. Juju added....nothing. His days are long behind. Mac Jones showed improvement but how much can you bank on with this teams fluid scheme? Bourne might be the best WR they have even if Parker returns. Ramandre still should get the focal point but with Zeek there now, that takes volume. Goal line? Pass targets? We have to wait and see how things shake out. Defense is still viable. Henry is still the TE or is Mike Geiseki gonna factor? Are either getting looks or game planned in?

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens beat the Texans but boy did it look bad. Dobbins (as bad as I feel for the person) is useless. Injury prone isn't even the word to describe. OBJ addition and Duvernay or Bateman healthy, we should see something in the air yards for Lamar. A new coordinator and Andrews injury status should have shown some promise. Truly is was more of the same. Lamar steals run yards from the RBs. Hill stepped up but Melvin Gordon on the practice squad. Fournette and Hunt haven't signed yet. The Ravens, historically, have a revolving door of RBs who outplay the RBs who made the team or were already signed before the summer OTAs. Hopefully Lamar can repeat that one year he became MVP. Time will tell.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers defense football wise will donwhat they always do under Tomlin...get better and be more of a nuance. TJ Watt as an IDP is ideal. The preseason was kind to the Pickett Pickens duo but none of that materialized in week 1. In fact it was the opposite. Pickens almost regressed it seemed. Very concerned 😟 Dionte Johnson hurt doesn't help matters. Najee will have the majority of the snap counts so let's see if he can raise himself out of the mid tier RB 3 flex type tanking. Pat F is a TE that is a fringe TE2 that could produce.

Thank you for indulging me in my NFL team by team soap box. Let's check out the Sleeper League below and good luck to all in the ILL this year ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

oh, he is so cute. the hair, the dramatics of his head thumping back down against the asphalt — which, by the way, bijan pulls a face at, is this boy crazy? ( yes, he decides. crazy and stupid. ) — and most especially, that smile. bijan doesn't expect the secondary wave of theatrics when he goes down again, but it does make him throw his head back and laugh, cheeks reddening and gaze locking on him as he waits for him to sit back up, eyebrows raised. consider him officially intrigued. "i know. i have the most powerful flick in the galaxy. i can't believe you survived. so mean." all teasing, all sarcastic, but all getting a little warmer as they talk. to his question, bijan purses his lips and looks around, shoulders shrugging. "you made it to the bottom? i guess. what were you trying to do, exactly? i noticed you more... post-epic-wipeout. i kinda wish i had been recording. maybe you should do it again, emi." wrong to have a guy who just wiped out perform for him again? yes. does he care? noo. no he does not. "...pretty name, by the way. mine's bijan. bijan agapito anvari. all of those names basically stand for beloved, radiant hero. that's what my blog's called. read it." not a request. "...and let me film for it. pleeease?"

── "i knew it." emilio's head had lifted from the pavement to try and get a better look at his almost-savior, but at the sarcastic confirmation that he'd died, it thuds back down against the asphalt. he does a quick check-over, giving a small shift of each limb as if to ensure that it is, indeed, still there, chin tipping down to watch as his new company sits back, propped on one hand. "if you're my guardian angel you're a little late," he mumbles blearily with an upward curve of his lips, rapid-blinking his eyes a few times and only bothering to start pushing himself up when he'd told. he starts to, anyway, but then comes the flick to his temple which he sees no other choice but to dramatize. the nail flicks his skin and he's dropping back down with a groan, as if that tiny hit is just as detrimental as the crash to the pavement had been. "hitting a guy when he's down? come on..." he whines, only to prop himself back up on his elbows again, hair flopping down over his eyes. "tell me i at least made it to the bottom." he's finally getting a good look at this guy, the one taking on the mantle of angel without hesitation, and maybe it's the delirium from the knock to his head... but he's smiling again, a little less foggy of an expression this time. "i'm, uh. i'm emi, by the way."

Im allergic to certain scents. It's kinda like having really bad allergies. Lady comes up just doused in perfume and i immediately cant breath. I had to get a coworker to deal with her order because i had to leave. She tried to report me saying i was discriminating against her, and that she's never felt more oppressed. Next time go a little easier on the perfume so the person trying to sell you 'Pear' products doesn't die while trying to speak to you!

That is me also. I have been hospitalized a few times from my ex-wife’s family when they found out. The one that does it for me every time is Bijan perfume

In case you didn't already known UT RB

Bijan Robinson maybe best RB in country.

Best game against TCU 216 yds also his most carries - 35. Of UT wins, TCU the only close game.

He very elusive and can make defenders miss. Very strong. Stamina - can carry the ball a lot

One weakness if he playing any other team but OU, he doesn't have break away top end speed.

Against Oklahoma that is our Achilles heel. He makes good runs one after the other getting chunks of yardage, but not every time he touches it he may go. Our opponents having long drives eating up time has been killing OU this year; it limits number of times we get the ball and makes our play calls more conservative.

bijan; in the club, the boom, carelessly

in the club – is your muse part of any local clubs or organizations, or do they want to be? which ones are they interested in? what made them want to join? if they could start an organization of their own, what would it involve?

Bijan is very active within the university, though in all cases it's low maintenance and low priority. He runs the debate club, which is mostly him getting invested in whenever people get emotional in their arguments. He does some referee jobs, but he's always barely paying attention, and he overlooks some other clubs where they've accepted that he disappears at times.

If Bijan could start an organisation of his own, he'd probably do one surrounding research, and he'd put the students in strange situations to see their reactions. He'd want to collect students with this same interest, perhaps some professors as well.

the boom – how prepared would your muse be in the case of a sudden disaster? do they have an emergency kit prepared and safety measures memorized? how would they react in the midst of a mass panic? would they be a leader? or would they freak out?

Bijan is very prepared, he understands tragic and sudden disasters and he won't back down in case of emergencies, however, he's also not the type to be a leader, he will gladly follow those around him into doing the right thing. He acts careful and precise and is one to actually give off a calming presence simply because he doesn't see why anyone would have to worry.

Then of course, there is the moment where other people's hopefulness will make him hopeful, while anyone's negative emotions will just fly past him.

carelessly – is your muse the careless type? what is the most reckless or spontaneous thing that they have ever done? do they regret it? would they do it again? why?

Bijna would say he isn't careless, but he is very careless and reckless when it comes to other people's feelings. He doesn't take them in account as much as he should, often thinking people will react to things the same way as he would. Which does result in some bad situations. His worst spontaneous decision was throwing all caution in the wind and suggesting to his then secret lover to run off together, a decision that got him murdered.

"Better than last time," he reports. Colson Kim is infamously picky when it comes to his morning brew. He prefers a strong robust taste over the frills and thrills of a sugar coma. He often ops for a boozy coffee on the weekends- just a dash of Irish cream when no one is looking. Yet as he says these words, he realizes that what he means by what he'd said is that the last time he was in that cafe, he was alone and didn't have Bijan's company. So in a way he is subtly complaining about last time, in terms of company, not the coffee. Let us hope Bijan doesn't catch on.

"It's said that the person you spend New Year's with is likely to stay in your life throughout the coming year." Colson sets his mug down. In the past, and during his more reckless years, he'd venture from bar to bar and race the clock with imbibitions to see exactly how out of his mind he could get before the midnight chime. He has a fear of the unknown, the professor doesn't like hypotheticals, and resists change where he can. The daunting New Year always shakes him despite how constant time is. He continues from where he's left off, "My plans were to ask you what you were doing for New Years, and hijacking them for my own comfort. I can't spend New Years all by myself, that would be a dreadful incoming year." Then sprouts the evil smirk from otherwise crabby downturned lips. "So I don't know. What are we doing for New Year's?"

@gcld-rushes ft. Colson a cozy cafe, between christmas & new year

Bijan hid his walking stick behind the table in case anyone accidentally walked into it, the cozy cafe wasn't busy at this time of day, but he figured it would soon be when people got done with their shoppings and needed somewhere to rest for a moment. For now, he'd enjoy the silence, as he studied whomever came and went, all those people either jet-lagged or exhausted, simply waiting for the next holiday to come around.

In many ways, he felt lucky that he didn't have to deal with Christmas. He turned back to Colson, studying the other now, a much more favoured past-time. "How is your coffee?" he asked. His eyes were filled with affection for the other, a mutual understanding between two souls that weren't necessarily similar or like-minded, but that had become dependent on each other. "Any plans for New Years?"

bijan ; 🐯 / 🐝 / 🍯

🐯  — the eye of the tiger!    a headcanon about a song that will instantly get my muse invigorated, and why that song elicits that reaction.

Bijan isn't a song-listener type of person, he likes classical music and movie music. though they're usually from movies he's never seen. He really likes the rif for Pirates of the Caribbean, and it will always put a smile on his face.

🐝  — to sting or not to sting?    a headcanon about a time my muse chose to actively defend themselves in a dangerous and threatening situation.

Bijan has had a few close calls when he was still a young man, where people he was with decided they weren't ready to have Bijan state the obvious. He also lived in a time where being gay and out wasn't met with barrels of support. If anything, it was met with discrimination and violence. Though Bijan has always found a way out, whether by confusing his assailants or running as fast as he could.

🍯  — sticky sweet fingers!    a headcanon about my muse and their favourite sweet treat, and why it is their favourite.

Bijan doesn't like sweet foods that much, but if he had to choose, he'd go for some Turkish Delights.

( all ) How well would your oc fare as a teacher? What subject would they be best at teaching? What about the worst?

Matevos ; would do horrible as a teacher because while he can command a room full of dogs, he definitely doesn't have the attention span to keep his eyes on student. He'd be best at teaching something about animals, obviously. And worst at maths.

Bijan ; fares well as a professor, though not because he has any particular sense of being a good one, just because he cares too much about his subject and too little about his students. He can be found leading the students into arguments among themselves because he enjoyed watching them get emotional and study them. He really would be bad at teaching social studies.

Suraj ; would be a horrible teacher because they'd so get talked over and would not really know how to share what they want to share. They would love to give classes on film, and they would completely fail at anything else. Ha!

Pesor ; will become friends with all the students and some would probably take advantage of it. They'd love to teach younger kids in elementary school or something because they don't really know one particular subject well.

Benny ; will get fired after a week for selling weed to students and sleeping during class while having the students watch a movie. Any subject is a bad idea, while he could probably teach languages well.

Ekamdeep ; will be the greatest swearing football coach. Or sports coach in general, wiping even the laziest student into shape. Perhaps something he should consider. He'd do bad at anything else that you'd need a brain for though.

Abhinav ; would probably hold out the best out of all of them. They'd have a class of dedicated students in no-time, getting to all their deep rooted issues and helping them with class work. They'd rock any subject because they would give it their all.

bijan: 6/17/4

6. how does your muse handle loneliness? 

Bijan loves loneliness. He could probably spend most of his life alone without feeling the need for companionship. The only needs he has are physical. If not for knowing he needs to be social, he would simply disappear.

17. who does your muse wish they had said goodbye to, but didn’t?

Bijan left his spot with the Scarlet Nightmare with some sour taste, and as a result he didn't say goodbye to anyone from his former life. He's always felt like it might've been better if he had. But now it's too late to get back.

4. how many scars does your muse have?

3, all from his time as a handler. He’s very particular about them as well, doesn’t like people touching them or even acknowledging them. He has one on his hip from an unfortunate run-in with a blade, an old bullet wound on his ankle, and a smaller scar just under his collarbone, which is the most personal one that he doesn't talk about.
