Nothing like having an unexpected visitor make a huge fuckin' hole in your mind. You could have passed for a defenseless animal splayed down on rocks, your guts ringing out like a party. Maggots slithering through the crevices in some weird form of creative vision. But, of course, doing some things might occasionally lead to the opposite outcome.
At the very least, he was alive.
Why wouldn't he be? Even if the heavens came tumbling down because the Gods commanded it to, he would be able to pull himself out like a necrotic creature coming back to life over and over. A respected and favored assassin who consistently completes tasks while exceeding expectations. Sure, most of his explanations were rubbish, but he didn't want to let anybody down.
And yet, as he made his way across the vast new wilderness, sun pounding down on blueish-grey skin like the subterranean, he could not help but respond in some sections of his psyche. One way in front of him, another swirling about in his head.
To be more intricate, you might say "squirming." It's best to clear your mind before embarking on a probable hallucination of someone you used to know but had not seen in years. A memory mirage?
Probably.
Perhaps it was the adverse effects.
STILL.
He couldn't get her face out of his head. That small part of him linked with her and may have missed her. He had always wanted someone to murder alongside, and who better than a bloodthirsty cultist? Never worry, entanglements can wait; he will figure it out later.
Track her down later.
It'd be no good, nor his....Oh, how cozy he would be if he developed some tentacles and turned into someone worth loathing. No, he would revert to his default and swim in the shadows, even if the light enveloped him.
𓆩♱𓆪
Why the fuck do people live up here? It smells bad, it feels horrible, but whatever, get the job done and quit thinking about it. At least the fearful ones were not complaining about his being, and he ended up looking for aid, which he never did, but the kids kept him busy. Tieflings, however, always transported him back to thoughts of the Kabrich siblings. By God's he fucking missed them, but he missed so many people after all. Death clung to him like the odor and stain of tobacco or blood on your boots.
Thinking if assisting them was a good idea or if it would merely drag his doom clock further into submission. Head out tomorrow to see what you can discover and pick if you want to be a nice person or an evil guy, as the ladder usually comes naturally.

Stiles Stilinski isn't as... UNCARING as you think.

Part 1 of my "[character] isn't as..." series.
There are many things Stiles has said that gets used against him. Stiles uses humor and sarcasm as coping mechanisms.
We all know he has severe trauma like:
Losing his mom to an illness that made her not herself anymore and think her own son was trying to hurt her as she slowly wasted away.
Being physically attacked by his mom during a moment where she swore he wasn't her son and was trying to hurt her.
He watched her die in her hospital room while alone with her because his dad had to work.
The constant fear of losing his dad and trying to control anything he can, like what his dad eats to try to keep him healthy and alive for a long time.
The constant fear of losing his dad while he's on the job so he listens in on his dad's police calls, not only to be nosy but to know what his dad is dealing with and if he's in danger.
Living with his dad drinking too much after his mom dies and feeling like everything is his fault.
Seeing a dead body and thinking it was his dad for a minute until the sheriff finally appeared.
The constant fear of losing his only best friend Scott.
The fear in the back of his mind that he might get the illness that killed his mother.
Almost being killed by Scott multiple times when he first turned. (Not bashing Scott, just stating a fact)
Almost having to cut off Derek's arm.
His relationship with his dad slowly deteriorating because he has to lie and keep the secret about the supernatural, not only to protect Scott and Derek, but to try to keep his dad safe.
Finding Lydia bitten by Peter and when he tries to help her, Peter won't allow it and forces Stiles to go with him (abducting Stiles) to use him to find Derek.
Having Chris shove him against the wall and antagonizing him and Stiles mouths off about how the Argents killed Derek's family.
Being paralyzed twice by the Kanima and the first time it happened he was having to see and listen to a guy slowly die by being crushed by a car lift that his jeep is on.
Holding Derek up in the pool for 2 hours when Derek was paralyzed.
Almost drowning with Derek in the pool.
Erica bashing him on the head with a part from his jeep and he wakes up in a dumpster.
Feeling guilty when his dad is forced to stop being sheriff for a while because of all the supernatural shit which made him look incompetent.
Having to punch Derek awake multiple times.
Constantly harassed by Mr. Harris during class.
Abducted by Gerald and taken to the Argents basement where Erica and Boys are being tortured. Gerard beats the shit out of Stiles.
Almost losing his dad to the Darach.
Trying to keep Cora alive while she's dying from mistletoe poisoning.
Having reality slowly slip away from him, not knowing whether he's asleep or not, and having night terrors.
Thinking he got the illness that killed his mom (he literally had to live for a bit thinking he was going to die within a few years!) when it was really the nogitsune.
Being chipped away at and possessed by the nogitsune.
Living with the knowledge of what really happened with Scott's dad leaving and never telling Scott.
Committing himself to Eichen House to try to keep his loved ones safe but putting himself in danger and in a very toxic environment.
Being put into solitary confinement and sedated when he was trying to stay awake to keep the nogitsune from getting full control.
His first time having sex and it's not even really him doing it but the nogitsune, so he didn't really get to truly consent.
Almost having a hole drilled into his head in the Eichen House basement by his roommate.
Having guns and various weapons pointed at him.
Thinking Derek is dead multiple times.
Seeing multiple dead bodies.
Being infected during their SATs with some unknown illness.
Having a gun shoved against his forehead as his teacher counts to 3, saying if he doesn't tell him where his friends are he's going to pull the trigger and kill Stiles. Stiles stands there refusing to give in.
Stiles' teacher was shot right in front of him, blood splattered on his face and he thinks for a moment that he was shot. Then he sees Scott's dad who killed the teacher.
Taken hostage with Lydia by the Eichen House orderly Brunski and tied up in the basement and was almost murdered.
Stiles seeing Derek is dying in Mexico and he wants to stay with him but Derek insists he go save Scott, Stiles is trying to choose which to do but Derek tells him to go so he does, knowing Derek will be dead before he gets back.
Donovan attacking Stiles in the school parking lot and bites his shoulder. Then chases Stiles into the school library, trying to kill him and threatening to kill the sheriff once he's done with Stiles.
Stiles accidentally killing Donovan. It wasn't even self defense, it was an accident. Stiles pulled a clip to release polls to keep Donovan away from him but ended up with Donovan getting impaled.
Feeling guilty and scared about Donovan's death and worried someone will find out.
Theo blacking mailing Stiles.
Feeling like his worst fear of losing Scott was happening during the confrontation when Scott thought Stiles murdered Donovan and Stiles thought Scott saw his self-defense (technically accident) as murder.
Almost losing his dad when he was shot.
Being forgotten by everyone because he was taken by the Ghost Riders. Which was made even worse by him calling Scott and Scott had no idea who Stiles was and then Stiles finds his dad, thinks for a moment his dad remembers him, then his dad asks him who he is.
Being stuck where the Ghost Riders took him, some train station, and he's stuck with Peter.
Being shot in the foot.
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but clearly Stiles has been through way too much in such a short period of time.
Stiles cares, he cares deeply, kinda to the point of too much. He neglects himself, his wants and needs, to take care of his loved ones. The guy would literally die for his dad, Scott, and Derek.
He lets himself hurt to protect his friends, he goes into fights when he is a human who has no powers but he doesn't hesitate to fight with his friends. He never tells Scott about Gerard kidnapping him and hurting him because he refused to be a message to Scott.
Stiles jokes about killing or letting Jackson, Derek, and Peter die. He doesn't actually mean it (except maybe a tiny bit with Peter, which is fair). He doesn't want anyone to die. He doesn't want to actually kill anyone. He jokes and is sarcastic as a coping mechanism.
He also keeps everyone at arm's length. Even his dad and Scott. He's got abandonment issues and he protects himself by not letting anyone in too much. He talks a lot but he doesn't actually say much. Gives the illusion that's he's an open person but he's really not.
Stiles says inconsiderate things, yes that is true. But what better way to keep people from getting too close than being a dick sometimes? Stiles isn't an asshole, but he can and does act like an asshole sometimes.
With his loved ones, he's loyal af too. Even when he doesn't agree with the plan, he stays loyal. Stiles cares a lot about the people he loves. He wants to protect them and keep them safe. He may not care about everywhere, which is fair, but he does his best to protect people. He will even stand in front of werewolves to try to protect them even though he is the squishy human.
Stiles has a lot of feelings that he shows, but he also has a lot of feelings that he doesn't show. He puts everyone's feelings before his own.
Stiles seems to always feel guilty about something. Usually stuff dealing with his mom or dad.
I see people saying how callous Stiles is but he's really not. Yes, he can be cruel if he wants to be, if someone really hurts him, but he isn't an uncaring person. He's a pretty sensitive guy who puts on an uncaring front.

Interview with Nancy Lee Andrews, March 2008 for 'Daytrippin'.
Daytrippin’: Let’s start from the beginning. When did you first meet Ringo Starr?
Nancy Lee Andrews: I met Ringo on a Monday afternoon in May 27, 1974. John had rented actor Peter Lawford’s infamous Santa Monica beach home where he and May Pang hosted many get-togethers. Girlfriends and wives were cooking in the kitchen and kids were swimming in the pool. It was a family get-together, rock ‘n’ roll style. A seat was offered to me at the poker table and I found myself next to Ringo. He was so charming, playful, witty and cute as hell. He might have had sad eyes, but they were twinkling at me that day.
Two months later, I got a call from May, who announced she and John were back in town. They shuttled back and forth between New York and Los Angeles so I kept their funky ’68 Barracuda in my garage. She asked me to bring the car to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and we would hang out and have some dinner. I knocked on the door to the suite expecting to see John or May, but Ringo answered instead. It took me by surprise and I said, “Oh, hello.” Ringo smiled and said, “I remember you… you’re my poker partner!”
After we exchanged flirtatious pleasantries, we headed down to Sunset Sound Studios where Ringo was working on Goodnight Vienna. John, May and I spent hours encouraging Ringo as he laid down vocals. When he finished we ventured to The Fiddler, a favorite Sunset Strip hangout that stayed open late and served delicious fried fish and chips. It had an old Wurlitzer jukebox. The two boys drank, dropped quarters in the jukebox, singing and discussing women, wives and life while May and I chatted, watching them.
Ringo turned more melancholy as we approached two in the morning, holding my hand, touching my face, and looking at me with those big blue watery eyes. He weaved his way to the jukebox and punched in Charlie Rich’s “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World” over and over again. At one point he was on his knees, resting his head against the speaker, which was at the bottom of the Wurlitzer.
“That poor guy,” I said to John and May. “He’s still in love with his wife. Look at him, his heart is broken.” John said softly, “Nancy, he’s a good lad… give him a chance… you two will be good together.” At that moment I didn’t realize just how prophetic John’s statement would be.
Daytrippin’: So you knew John Lennon before you actually met Ringo?
Nancy Lee Andrews: Yes. I met John through my old boyfriend and legendary bass player, Carl Radle. Carl played bass for Leon Russell and Eric Clapton and did many sessions in LA. So I met John at a recording studio. I can’t recall exactly what session it was but May and I instantly became friends that night and John gave me the thumbs up.
Daytrippin’: So what was John like as a person?
Nancy Lee Andrews: He was high energy. He loved a good conversation. He liked facts about a subject. And he was simple when it came to his needs, music, food and friends. He was a night owl and liked to go to the movies after midnight. One night we went downtown to a funky theater with Bob Dylan to see a Bruce Lee marathon. Those were the days when a Beatle could make a run in the middle of the night to Pinks for a pig out on hot dogs. He would get so excited in the recording studio and start sort of dancing when he was hearing what he wanted. He just loved to get groups of us at the microphone for backup vocals. We had a lot of fun.
Daytrippin’: And you met George Harrison before all of them. (Her boyfriend at the time, Carl Radle, played bass on All Things Must Pass and The Concert for Bangla Desh.) What was George like?
Nancy Lee Andrews: George was quiet but had this intensity when he talked to you. Again, this guy loved music and it was all about the music. His wife at the time, Pattie Boyd, was great to hang out with. She’s a creative woman and a wonderful person. A few years later Ringo and I went to visit him and Olivia at Friar Park in 1979. They were so happy. Olivia cooked a delicious dinner, he played the guitar and we wandered around that huge mansion while he told us its history. He opened a door, I think it was in the kitchen and handed us candles and told us to follow him. I thought, Oh, we’re going to the spooky cellar but the stairs kept going down and down and finally we landed on a flat surface. I looked, and couldn’t believe what I saw… it was a cave complete with stylolites. Walkways through a cavern. There was even a stream running through it! I had my camera with me and we had a hilarious time shooting with and without the flash. I have so many incredible pictures of us in that cave.
After that we settled in his study/music room and he handed me a bowl of rubies… big ones, small ones that were all cabachons. It was days before my birthday and he said to pick what ever I want and have something made. While he and Ringo talked and played the guitar I settled in front of the fireplace and designed a necklace with lots of hanging rubies. One of those nights I’ll never forget.
Daytrippin’: So after John set you up with Ringo, how did your relationship develop?
Nancy Lee Andrews: After our first date we were hooked on each other. We just continued until one day we were looking for a house together and we were a couple. Our world was fast and on the move all over the world. We had a place in Monte Carlo, England, Amsterdam and LA. Between the recording studios, movie premieres, promotion tours, traveling nine months a year and juggling the children, friends and family we were gypsies — elegant gypsies. Sometimes we would unplug the phones and hide out in our own house not letting anybody know we were in town. Just a few days of old movies, some home made popcorn and our favorite meals. Those days were some of our best times.
Daytrippin’: Your new photo book, A Dose of Rock ‘n’ Roll, chronicles your life with Ringo (1974-1980) as well as the decade of the 1970s. How did you go from an Eileen Ford Model to becoming a rock photographer?
Nancy Lee Andrews: I always had a camera in my hand and recorded what was happening in front of me. Thinking back, there are so many times I wish I had clicked the shutter instead of feeling the moment was too personal and awkward to take a picture. But you know there are thousands of images from our life and the people who just happened to be there and I would click. Like the great images of George at the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo… click, click… they’re in the book. But not all of them, so I’m going to introduce many new images in the gallery shows. If I used half of what I have the book would be many, many volumes. You know looking back I had the ultimate all access pass and nobody ever told me to put my camera down.
Daytrippin’: How did the camera figure into your relationship with Ringo and how did he help boost your career?
Nancy Lee Andrews: The camera was a huge part of our lives. We were both posers and loved to give it up for the camera. He loved the way I saw things and encouraged me to shoot. One day he said he needed a new head shot for the new album and said, “You shoot it.” We went out by the side of our house where the light reflected beautifully and we did our little session. After that we did his next two album covers — Ringo the 4th and Bad Boy, the “Ringo” TV Special and various other publicity images. He is a natural in front of the camera. There are images I took of him while in Morocco that are breathtaking. He actually looked like he could be a Bedouin lord… a flowing Black cape with a long hood… he merged with the culture and they accepted him as one of their own as we strolled through the Medina. We were living in our own personal movie in a foreign world and I was shooting it. What a trip!
Daytrippin’: You also helped Ringo write a song, the lovely “Las Brisas” on Ringo’s Rotogravure. How did that come about?
Nancy Lee Andrews: We were in Acapulco, I think it was the first year of our relationship, and it was so romantic at the Las Brisas Hotel. Everything was pink — pink jeeps, pink flowers floating in the pool, etc. I was fascinated with the language and was asking someone to translate words for me and writing them down on a napkin in a poem form. A band was playing and Ringo picked up the napkin and stared singing the words. We worked on it over the next few days and it became our little song.
Daytrippin’: You also took the cover and back shot of Ringo’s next album, Ringo the 4th. What inspired you?
Nancy Lee Andrews: Fantasy, fairy tales, sword and sorcery, not sure but evolved from a nice bottle of champagne and maybe a book we had been reading. I think I put that sword in his hands to represent him slaying his demons. There was this big empty closet in our suite at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. I mean, it would have been a bedroom in some apartments. Any way it was the perfect light box when the flash went off. We had the best time shooting in that closet with my girlfriend, Rita, on his shoulders.
Daytrippin’: There’s a famous shot of you, Ringo and Paul and Linda McCartney on 5th Avenue in New York. What was Paul like and how did that photo come about?
Nancy Lee Andrews: We were strolling down 5th Avenue back to the Plaza Hotel and we hear someone calling Ringo’s name. I turned and saw Paul and Linda across the street. I mean what is the chance of that? Paul had a photographer following him so when he caught up with us the photographer snapped away. Paul and Linda came back to the hotel with us and we ordered some tea up to the suite. I found Paul very charming and down to earth. He and Linda were a real couple; you know, they were a unit. Linda had a wonderful sense of humor. We never hung out with them. They were always on the farm and Paul had his own music. He did write a song for Ringo’s Rotogravure, Pure Gold. Paul said it was about me for Ringo, so he recorded it.
Daytrippin’: Ringo once again called upon you to take publicity photos for the “Ringo TV Special” in 1978. What do you recall about that shoot and how did Ringo approach the project?
Nancy Lee Andrews: He took the role seriously because it was the first vehicle that revolved around him. American TV was a very important vehicle to promote his music. We had just acquired a house in the Hollywood Hills and it was empty, so we decided to use the living room as our studio. It was great fun working with an art director and director. Ringo was surrounded by some great performers who just loved him.
Daytrippin’: You met a lot of famous people through Ringo. Who was the most memorable?
Nancy Lee Andrews: The Duke! We were having dinner one night at the El Padrino Room at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and I was beside myself because John Wayne was sitting a table away. He was in my line of sight, but not Ringo’s. I was fidgeting and terribly distracted. Ringo finally asked me what was wrong with me and I gushed, “I can’t believe this but John Wayne is sitting right over there.” Ringo’s eyes lit up and we sat there like two starstruck kids. When John Wayne was leaving he walked right by our table and Ringo stopped him to say hello. He was so nice and very tall. Ringo asked him if he would give me a kiss and he said sure. He put out his hand and pulled me up from the table and laid a Maureen O’Hara big one right on my lips. I was a puddle with a stupid grin on my face as Ringo laughed and the other diners smiled at me. Now that was a man and a legend!
Daytrippin’: You’ve got some great photos of Ringo and Keith Moon at Trancas Beach in Malibu. What was your relationship with “Moonie” and was he as crazy as he has been portrayed in the past?
Nancy Lee Andrews: Keith had two sides. Some of those pictures in Malibu capture the soft cuddly side of him. The other side was the Mad Hatter who could make any tea party interesting.
Daytrippin’: You also developed close friendships with other Beatle cohorts such as Harry Nillson, Dr. John and Donovan. Give me a brief thumbnail of each person.
Nancy Lee Andrews: I loved Harry Nilsson like a brother. One of the most brilliant and fascinating men I have ever met. Dr. John was all about the music, too. He loved his kids, a southern gentleman. Donovan is very impish and fun. He loves to entertain and gets everyone involved when he knows he has your attention. A great subject to shoot.
Daytrippin’: The book portrays a very fast-paced, jet-set lifestyle that you shared with Ringo, including trips to England, Japan, Monte Carlo, Morocco, Mexico and the Yucatan. Didn’t you nearly die in a plane crash in the jungle in the Yucatan?
Nancy Lee Andrews: Here’s what happened: we were having a nice time in the Yucatan for about a week until Ringo suddenly became restless. He woke up one morning and said, “Get me off this island. I don’t care how you do it, but get me outta here.” In a matter of hours I managed to book a twin-engine plane to Merida that seated six people. Our party of four, the two pilots and our embarrassing amount of luggage put us well over the plane’s weight capacity. Despite that and a looming tropical storm, no one could talk Ringo into staying another day. The pounding storm forced us to fly so low that the bottom of the plane was brushing against the tops of the trees. I was trying to calm my friend Susan S. Fair down, who was sure that our plane was going to go crash in the jungle and our remains would never be found. Hilary Gerard, Ringo’s manager, was holding Tibetan prayer beads up against his third eye, furiously chanting and wishing for a cigarette. While everyone was frantic and on the verge of breaking down, Ringo was as calm as could be. He said very matter-of-factly, “Don’t worry, it’s not my time to go, so we’ll all be fine.”
Daytrippin’: You went out with Ringo during the height of the disco era. I have it on good account that he took ballroom dancing as a kid and is pretty light on his feet?
Nancy Lee Andrews: Oh my god, he was a fabulous dancer. We loved to go to the discos in Monte Carlo and Regine’s was our favorite. The DJ knew that we loved “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye and would play it at least twice while we were there. Ringo would jump up and pull me to the dance floor. He had moves that were so simple but looked so good. Also we loved to go to Tramps in London… they had the best bangers and mash (sausage and mashed potatoes). We would gobble it down around 2 a.m. before we went home. If other women wanted to dance with Ringo they didn’t ask — they knew I would scratch their eyes out. As far as ballroom dancing I honestly did not know that about him. Hmmm, maybe that’s where he got such good timing.
Daytrippin’: Your relationship with Ringo came to an abrupt end when he met Barbara Bach on the set of Caveman in 1980. You were actually engaged to Ringo at the time. How did you find closure?
Nancy Lee Andrews: It took time. I thought he would come home to me but he fell hard for Barbara Bach. I put my focus on photography. I had a business called Headshots for Women and advertised in Variety. My beauty lighting had the girls lined up. This was before photoshop. I had an air brusher and he would wipe the lines away and the women loved it! Love my computer. I had a couple of committed relationships over the next ten years and finally gave up. That’s when I met my husband and we are now coming up to our 15th anniversary… not to mention the few years of courting.
Daytrippin’: Tell us about your life today and what are your future plans?
Nancy Lee Andrews: Well, life is very exciting these days. The book is coming out and will show my photography, even though it’s a flashback to the ’70s. My friend, May Pang, is also coming out with a book of never before seen photos of John. We’re going to be doing gallery exhibits and book singings together this spring in Scottsdale, Arizona; Palm Springs, California and NYC. I have a wonderful exhibit at the Tennessee State Museum this summer, a combination of A Dose of Rock ‘n’ Roll and a dash of country. I also head up IconicPhotos.com, a Web gallery showcasing some fine photographers work at prices that won’t dent your wallet. I’m currently negotiating gallery exhibits in London, Paris, Amsterdam and San Francisco. Whew, this is only a few months into the year and everything seems to have just taken off.

FIVE BOLD NBA PREDICTIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON
Five Bold NBA Predictions for the Remainder of the Season
January 14, 2025
The NBA season is heating up, and as playoff contention tightens, surprising twists and turns are on the horizon. Here are five bold predictions for how the rest of the 2025 season could unfold.
1. Detroit Pistons Will Advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals
After years of rebuilding, the Pistons are poised to surprise the league. Cade Cunningham’s All-Star-level play, combined with the toughness of Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren, has provided Detroit with a foundation that’s both gritty and dynamic. Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. are hitting threes at a lethal rate, adding a critical outside dimension to the Pistons’ attack.
Though they’re still seen as underdogs, their current momentum could lead to an upset against any team not named the Cleveland Cavaliers. If their young core plays with discipline, Detroit might very well find themselves in the second round or, improbably, the Eastern Conference Finals.
2. Boston Celtics Will Stop Cleveland Cavaliers’ Finals Dreams
While the Cavaliers have dominated much of the season and look like strong contenders, Boston’s experience gives them the edge. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have taken the painful lessons of past playoff losses to heart, much like other eventual champions before them.
Add the Celtics’ balanced roster, including Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, and Cleveland’s lack of playoff-tested depth becomes a concern. The Celtics are well-equipped to grind out victories, making them favorites to edge the Cavs in a potential matchup.
3. Russell Westbrook Will Deliver a Legendary Playoff Performance
Russell Westbrook’s resurgence with the Denver Nuggets has been one of the most captivating storylines this season. As Jokic’s pick-and-roll partner, Westbrook has found his groove, averaging impressive numbers while bringing a burst of energy to Denver’s rotation.
Expect a jaw-dropping 30-point, 10-assist, and 10-rebound performance in a crucial playoff game. Westbrook’s ability to thrive under pressure and his renewed confidence make this not just possible but likely against a formidable opponent.
4. Lonzo Ball Will Shine in the Play-In Tournament
After a long and arduous recovery, Lonzo Ball’s return to action could serve as the emotional spark Chicago needs. Should the Bulls find themselves in a play-in game, expect Lonzo to shine brightly, inspired by his brothers’ success off the court and his own journey back to form.
Whether it’s knocking down threes, dishing precision assists, or locking down on defense, Lonzo’s contributions will be pivotal, even if Chicago doesn’t progress far. His performance will solidify his value as a leader and motivator.
5. A Cavs vs. Thunder Finals Will Mark the Lowest-Watched Series Ever
While both teams have the talent to reach the Finals, their relative lack of superstar marketability could hurt viewership. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Donovan Mitchell are undeniable stars, but they don’t yet have the mainstream appeal of LeBron James or Stephen Curry.
Moreover, the NBA has struggled to build new icons, with SGA lacking a signature shoe and Mitchell overshadowed by the likes of Anthony Edwards in the Adidas lineup. Purists will enjoy the series, but casual fans might tune out, preferring the narrative of proven champions or established dynasties.
Conclusion The NBA thrives on unpredictability, and this season is no exception. From Detroit’s underdog rise to the potential viewing challenges of new-market Finals contenders, these bold predictions capture the drama and excitement of the league. Whether or not these scenarios come to fruition, one thing’s for sure: the rest of the season will be a wild ride.

Heartstopper S1E2
First watch reaction
DO NOT LIE TO THIS MAN!!!!
Sir, you are already giving him your hoodie.
This is not "just friends behaviour"
You are not an idiot, you are just being given the wrong information.
The way that he looks at him, I can't even.
HIS HAND IS RIGHT THERE!!!
Just kiss him... You know you want to
JUST DO IT!!!!!
**GAY PANIC**
Just kiss him already!!!
Awwww, poor thing really needed that hug.

donovan + headcanon b?
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
He had more than one JFK poster in his office when he worked at the CIA. One time someone poked a hole into JFK’s head and John fucking lost it (the guy responsible said “hey, I made it realistic!” and got a stapler to the face)
Actual historical fact, there are recorded instances from CIA headquarters in Langley that there have been at least two food fights in the cafeteria (and that’s just at headquarters). I like to think John claimed to be ‘above it’ but in actuality he allegedly started at least 3. Allegedly.
He has a standard American accent, but he can mimic a bunch of others. The trans-Atlantic one is his best
#I think these are all perfectly reasonable and realistic but still funny#mafia 3#john donovan#thanks Harry!
