#Athletic skill

[everyday-is-uncle-day]

Sam & Jamie are the youngest players on the team. They both have superstar potential brewing. Jamie knows it and is egotistical. Sam does not know it and is humble. Season one shows Jamie can be cruel. He needs a lot of work, not as an athlete but as a team player. He’s miserable. So he’s a selfish prick.

Season one shows Sam is insecure. He needs a lot of work, as an athlete to reach his potential with individual skill. He’s miserable but trying his best.

In the background we learn Jamie has a mostly absentee father, that only cares about his son through his sporting ability. He’s cruel and a driving menacing force in his son’s life.

In the background we learn Sam has a constant loving role model as a father, who cares about him completely. He’s kind and a driving force inspiring his son’s life.

And in season 2 when Sam & Jamie are thrust back together. With so much tension between them, it’s so sweet to see Jamie constantly hanging onto Sam.

Jamie was always jealous of Sam’s relationship with his father. And belittled him to cover it.

In season 2 Jamie looks up to Sam. Instead of being jealous or cruel. He apologizes, he supports Sam.

Sam supports Jamie as a person. Jamie supports Sam as an athlete.

They both grow - together.

Building up to their season 3 tributes to each other.

I love how subtle it is in season 2. Sam always letting Jamie just cling to him.

Cosmic Whiskers: The Feline Flight Chronicles

The Evolved Felines In a world not so different from our own, cats had undergone an evolution more peculiar than a mongoose tap-dancing on a rubbery trampoline. No longer the fuzzy companions of humans, they had developed into an intricate society with technology that could baffle even the most advanced species in the universe. The city of Catropolis, suspended between the ordinary and the…

men being stronger or faster physically is not a skill, it's an advantage. advantages do not determine how skilled of an athlete you are. most people who talk shit about women's sports can't grasp this.

For bonus points - are they good or are they terrible? Is this comedy or is it art?

aftg au where bee adopted andrew and later aaron when they were teens. she owns an apple orchard that the twins and occasionally a few of the foxes help run but it's almost harvest season and she needs help prepping everything for the town's fall festivals so she decided to put up a help wanted ad. neil, tired, alone, and running out of options, decides to apply. bee let's him use the renovated barn loft as residence when she learns he's homeless. andrew is wary, his family means everything to him and neil is a flightly little thing that could only bring bad news, but something about neil is familiar. maybe it's how he checks all his exits or how he flinches when people touch him or how he cradles the key bee gave him in his palm like it was a treasure instead of a piece of metal. he asks neil for truths and it's like bleeding a rock but he finds neil is more willing when truth is reciprocated. they spend their days walking down the lines of apple trees, harvesting and talking, and andrew is only a little mesmerized with the way neil's auburn curls blend with the red of the apples and his eyes match the sky like something deliberate, like he was meant to be here. andrew thinks that maybe he doesn't hate how neil looks at him like he's worth something. andrew thinks that maybe he doesn't want to lose this. he's still learning how to accept that not everything is transactional, he doesn't need to make deals to keep people close, hes still figuring out how to want things without the fear of them being snatched away. his mind screams at him to turn away and push any feeling aside but then neil is handing him an apple and smiling and telling him stories he says he's never told anyone else and andrew doesn't think he deserves this but he wants it

I can’t even explain how I feel watching women’s gymnastics at the Olympics and NOT ONE comment was made about anyone’s body or build or shape or literally anything but the sport. I remember the way the commentators would tear apart the girls when I was younger—and that doubtless colored how i thought about myself.

Actually, the only body metric I’ve heard discussed at all during the Olympics coverage has been height—and that has been only in two contexts: one, talking about how swimmers of different heights might set their starting blocks differently, and two, a shorter-than-typical volleyball player saying she wants shorter girls to know they can play at the top level too.

It’s just a lot different—and a lot healthier than the stuff I grew up with.

Messin' about in the Tomb of the First Emperor, bitch-slapped a mummy, no big deal at this point as Lara has defeated so many of them!

Do you think Peter learned how to breakdance when he got his powers just to add flare to his movement?

i think peter parker had been trying and failing to breakdance long before the spider-bite, and is just happy to discover he finally has the upper body strength to actually pull it off now

everyone should acknowledge how much of a jock Dick is way more often, like in AUs where there’s no crime and everyone is happy and untraumatized and civilians I’m sure that Bruce and Cass would still have have some self defense training because that sort of discipline is good for them, Jason might have wrestled in college, Tim and Duke probably went out for track and field or tenis or something and Damian might be in fencing classes

But Dick would have a few Olympic medals

Half (time) life ! The server is cut in half by another border (so like you can cross it but not without effort and you can’t get very far) and players are distributed between the sides. Like dodgeball your goal is to outlast the other team. Three lives system as usual. The boogeymen can cross to kill. One enchantment table at spawn.

For some extra toppings:

- the game is timed (like limited life)

- you can defect from your team but only once (and you can’t return to your original team)

- you can give a life to "revive" a teammate

- every session the teams switch sides (?)

This has been my terrible proposal: consider the haikyuu esque dramatic fanart we could have here. How it works with the winners craft the next game HC and how cool it would be to see big team ups come against eachother. Jersey skins. Also lets make Gem and Skizz the team captains. thank you for your time 🕺

Thank you for your contribution 🕺

My gifs of Hiroyuki Sanada in Roaring Fire (1981), part 4. This stunt is one of the most dangerous I have seen Hiroyuki doing. He leaves the roof of a double decker, he's hanging from a street sign for a minute and then he jumps on the roof of another double decker, all this after a martial arts fight in and out of the bus.

I'm amazed Sanada-san reached the age of 64 in one piece 🙄
