this started as a joke and then a friend of mine who knows will willowmvp personally decided to get me confirmation on his relationship to homestuck so. now you all get to see this i guess.
A FEW NOTES ABOUT THIS
outside of the tiers that straight up say "CONFIRMED" in them I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE. I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE. i also do not keep a very close eye on the irl lives of most of these creators, so unless something is like, a well known fact about them, assume i most likely do not know it. if one of these creators has discussed homestuck and is in the wildly wrong place, whoops.
my decisions were based on a combination of age, what corner of the internet they're in (if they openly have a tumblr), and straight up vibes.
i know some of these creators much better than others, but if someone's not on here, it's because i don't feel like i have anything even approximating a grasp on their personalities or i have never watched them before.
OK ONE EDIT. i forgot lizzie and joel were like straight up scene kids. im not changing the list but idk keep that in mind. also zloy SHOULD be in the "confirmed has read homestuck" tier but in my defense. i forgor.

The third tier reads "Has read Homestuck in part/stopped reading early" and includes Aimsey, Badboyhalo, Crumb, Pixlriffs, Snifferish, SoupforEloise, Animagician, JaidenAnimations, and BerthaDarling.
The fourth tier reads "Has never read Homestuck but has knowledge of the plot/and or characters and includes 5UP, Eret, FireBreathMan, Guqqie, Niachu, TheOrionSound, Shubble, Slimecicle, Smajor1995, RedVelvetCake, Wilbur Soot, ZombieCleo, and Frogcrafting.

What would both Uzi's and Ezi's Solver have unlike the other? Like, what unique abilities would they have in their solvers that the other twin doesn't have
Ezi would haveeeee:
-Telekinesis -Regeneration -Matter reconstruction -Teleportation -Telepathy (on this way she could present herself as a shimeji in the drone visors who she needs to talk to) -And I would also like to say that it has some power similar to premonition hmm something like it touches some drone or is in "the mind" of a drone and can see through its past memories, I think this could also apply to the telepathy in a certain way… idk

saying shit about caitlin and trying to praise another yt for speaking up is weird lmfao
you should uplift black women, support them! not say that paige is better than cc for speaking up, when she’s just doing minimum, why focus on paige AND cc and not focus on other black wnba players? that’s what i believe anon was trying to say
so, it’s bad for me to celebrate a privileged person acknowledging their privilege and trying to be an ally . . . and then also call out another privileged person for not doing the same despite having numerous opportunities too?
anon, respectfully, this is my blog. i am going to use it how i want to. i mean no harm or hate to caitlin, but i will call out ignorance when i see it.
i never said paige was better than caitlin. i merely noted that one white person uses their voice for good, while the other only uses it when its to defend herself.
and, once again, respectfully, i do support black women! if you were following along with my account, you would notice that i am always watching different games and calling out different players! i talk about aaliyah edwards frequently, because other than paige, she’s my favorite husky from last year's team.
i also talk about angel reese, a'ja wilson, ezi, and i plan on talking about more!
i myself am a biracial black woman- so we are NOT doing that! 💋

96 page Caitlin Clark ESPN special... 🙃
Even if you want to make Clark the star, is it really necessary to give her all 96 pages?
What if Clark had 36 pages? Then we could give the other 60 pages to other female basketball stars under 25 years old. Why not give a page to Dyaisha Fair? And let's check on Brink and Rickea and Cardoso. Let's check on Flaujae and Juju and Hannah and Paige. Let's also check on the 2021, 2022, and 2023 rookie classes. What are they up to? Go talk to Mic Onyenwere and Rhyne Howard and Nalyssa Smith and Aliyah Boston and Diamond Miller. Kristen Bell and Em Engstler just won AU medals. Show that. Talk to the young international Olympians that will be in Paris like Ezi and Aaliyah Edwards. Show the young players who spent their winters playing for glamorous cities in Europe and Australia. Give me a photoshoot of Dorka in Italy. I want a nice picture and nice blurb for every under-25 pro that's been playing good minutes in the WNBA.
If ESPN wants to promote the youth wave as the present and future of the game, that's great. But 96 pages on one player is not how you do that.

Winter's selfships:
Sukuna x Winter
Once I get a taste, I never wanna stop. Don't you ever take your fucking hands off
Sukuna is the bad boy I meet in a club who drags me headfirst into his world. At first, we both think we will just be a one-night stand, but then it becomes so much more. Sukuna fascinates me. He is such a stark contrast to the boring life I lived before running into him. He is wild and confident, so sexy and a bit dangerous. With him, I finally feel alive. He is like a drug, exciting and addictive, and able to numb all my pain. Life with Kuna feels like speeding through the city at night while the neon lights flash by and my favorite song plays at max volume. It's exciting, just like his kisses and his boyish smirk and the way he fucks me like no one else did before. I get so addicted to him and the way he makes me feel. I feel high when he looks at me with that sexy smirk while he blows cigarette smoke into my face and flirts with me in that teasing and fun way and pulls me along to get matching tattoos or get drunk at some rich guy's rooftop party we crashed. We keep hooking up with each other until one night, Kuna is like, "I think I am in love with you." And suddenly, everything falls into place. Sukuna is my King, and I am his Queen. We are in love. Deep, passionate, life-altering love that I didn't think existed in real life. But Kuna and I have a special bond. We are both outcasts. My mind doesn't work the way it should, and Sukuna is a natural-born rebel who fights any authority he encounters. We are both not made for this world. But in each other, we found someone who loves us the way we are. We are one of those "it's us against the world" couples. And as intimidating and rude as Sukuna can be, he is very sweet and charming to me. I love when his smug smirk turns into a tender smile just for me and when his tattooed arms tighten around me, and he tells me in that sexy low voice that I am his and he is mine until the end of the world.

something rlly funny abt homestuck and hiveswap troll names is like i pretty much know all the different pronunciations to expect from the homestuck trolls. if someone says “TARE-ezi” i know they mean terezi. or kanaya as “kahn-ee-uh”. all the different variations of “aradia” etc.
but when ppl pronounce hiveswap trolls names differently than i do i’m so caught off guard i’m like who are you talking about who is that? who is “duh-RYE-uh”??? and then they show me a pic of daraya and i’m like OH you mean “daria” lmao

Deep End - Chapter 18: She Who Rules the Sea
...in which Ezi and Harry go back to where it started.
AU: famous!harry, siren!mc, adult modern retelling of the little mermaid? lol, fake dating, enemies to lovers.
WARNING: MATURE THEMES
All chapters / Synopsis / Moodboard / Playlist

“Good morning, Harry.”
“Oh, Dawson, you’re still here?”
“Harry, please,” Ezi sighed as she carried the plates of steaming bacon and eggs to the table, joining Dawson and Maggie. Maggie was too busy reading the morning newspaper with her cup of tea to pay attention to the weird dynamic between Harry and Dawson, which Ezi failed to understand no matter how hard she tried. Dawson seemed to love Harry even though Harry claimed that it was all fake and that Dawson lowkey prayed for his downfall.
“How was your sleep?” Harry asked as he took a seat beside Ezi, glaring at Dawson, who was sitting on her other side.
“It was alright,” said Ezi. “What do you want for breakfast?”
“Do not worry about me. You sit there and enjoy your breakfast, young lady. Dawson?”
Dawson looked up from his plate. “Yeah?”
“Could you make me a cup of tea?” Harry commanded.
“Why do I have to do it?”
“Because you already got your bacon and eggs and I just want a cup of tea?”
“Oh, you’re so full of shit sometimes, you know that?”
“For fuck’s sakes!” Maggie exclaimed and all eyes were on her as she put the newspaper down and got up. “I’ll make you tea, insufferable child. What else do you want? A full English breakfast?”
“Oooh, that would be gre—” Harry’s mouth clamped shut when Maggie shot him a death glare. “Tea would be fine. Thanks, Maggie.”
Shaking her head, Maggie put the kettle on. Harry turned back to Ezi, smiling. “No bad dreams last night, I hope?”
Ezi was just about to answer when Dawson jumped in, “Actually, she couldn’t sleep and went into the kitchen for water. I was there because I couldn’t sleep either, so we stayed up and chatted for a bit. It was nice.”
Harry seemed offended. “Oh, why couldn’t you sleep, Dawson?”
“Strange bed.”
“What are you? Five?”
“Said the one who was still pissing his pants at five years old.”
“Hey, I was four!”
Ezi buried her face into her palm. Oh god, couldn’t Maggie hurry up with that cup of tea? Harry was always unbearable before his morning tea.
“What were you two talking about anyway?” he asked, eyes shifting between Ezi and Dawson, who had this smug look on his face, seemingly happy to have pissed Harry off. Ezi must admit that pissing Harry off was also her favourite past-time, but not the first thing in the morning, when he was the most annoying.
“Oh, nothing really,” she said. “Dawson just had a lot of questions about sirens and all that.”
“Harry, here’s your tea, you little shit.”
When Maggie handed Harry his steaming cup, his face lit up instantly. Breakfast carried on without any more drama. Still, Ezi couldn’t help dreading what was about to come.
Once they were done eating and had cleared the table, Maggie lay out a huge map that took up almost the entire surface, and everyone gathered around like they were in some sort of war meeting.
“Funny how you just have this gigantic map lying around,” Harry said, standing behind Ezi with his chin on the top of her head as if to make sure Dawson got the message. Childish, Ezi thought, but she couldn’t be bothered to tell him off, and she was secretly enjoying it too.
“It’s not like I work in a bookshop or anything,” Maggie said, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Anyway, Harry, I would appreciate it if you don’t speak for the next fifteen minutes.”
Dawson let out a low chuckle, and Harry silenced him with a glare.
“Okay, so,” said Maggie, hands on the map, “this is the deepest part of the ocean. The Ginevra palace lies at the bottom of the ocean, and it’s connected to this cave…here.”
“Sorry, I know I’m not allowed to speak, but wasn’t that where we first met?” Harry turned to Ezi, who nodded.
“Yes. Correct. So your beach house was right…here.” She tapped her finger on the map.
“We need to get Ezi back to the palace, and we can do so through this cave,” said Maggie.
“But Ezi doesn’t have her tail anymore.” All eyes shifted to Dawson, who froze. “Sorry, am I allowed to speak? I know I’m new here.”
“No, you’re not allowed to speak.”
“Harry.” Ezi nudged Harry with her elbow and to Dawson, she smiled. “Good point, Dawson. But I think I just need to get to that cave and I can call for my mother or sister to appear.”
“They will know when you’re there anyway. The Sea Queen keeps track of all of her subjects. Besides, they are after this, remember?” Maggie said, pointing at Harry’s chest.
Fear formed a thick lump in Ezi’s throat as she tried to swallow it down. She looked over at Harry, expecting some sort of reaction from him, but his calm expression remained, which troubled her even more. She wondered if he was just pretending like he was fine because he wanted to appear brave and unafraid for her, whilst deep down, he was very much afraid.
“We can use my private jet to get to the island,” she heard him say when she snapped out of her own head. “It’s bad for the environment, but we’re all dying anyway.”
“You’re dying. We still have a long way to go.”
“Maggie,” complained Ezi, and Maggie rolled her eyes.
“He just talks a lot of shit sometimes.”
“I’m sorry,” Harry said, sarcastically. “I’m the only one here beside Ezi who has the right to talk shit. The Sea Queen wants to rip my heart out because I’m in love with her daughter.”
“Allegedly,” Ezi murmured, eyes on the map, but she could imagine Harry frowning.
“Whether you like it or not, I love you and your mother wishes to kill me.”
“Can we do this another time?” Maggie interrupted. “Harry, call your ride.”
“Oh, I already did. Niall’s on his way.”
“Niall?” exclaimed Ezi. “You told Niall about this.”
“Well, he doesn’t know you’re a mythical creature. He thinks we’re fleeing the country because everyone thinks you’re a gold digger and I’m a fool. So we’re like Harry and Meghan in a way.”
“What? Who’s Meghan?”
“If we make it out alive, I’ll educate you on the royal family. Ours is even more fucked up than yours. Oh, Niall just texted me.” Harry pulled out his phone and his face transformed into a scowl. “He said he’s stuck in traffic and wants us to take the tube???”
Ezi shivered as she recalled the first and last time she was on the tube. It wasn’t fun as it sounded. “I’m not riding the tube. It’s smelly and hot.”
“Pretty sure there’s a train strike and TFL wouldn’t care if Harry Styles and his friends were on their way to save a kingdom.”
“Or just get a cab?” Dawson finally spoke after being silent the whole time.
Everyone exchanged looks and unenthusiastically agreed.
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
Ezi didn’t know how they’d done it. The airport was now crowded with reporters with their cameras flashing. It didn’t take them long to surround the taxi like a shiver of sharks cornering prey. Dawson was sitting in the passenger’s seat, calmly guiding the driver through the crowd, while Maggie, who sat beside Ezi in the backseat was bouncing her knee with a horrified look on her face. It was probably her first time in this situation.
“Fucking hell,” Harry muttered when his ringtone went off again. He pressed answer and shouted to Niall, “We’re here. Would you chill, for fuck’s sake?”
Niall’s voice was loud yet muffled over the phone, “I just wanted to warn you that someone overheard me talking to you on the phone, and the paparazzi–”
“We’ll deal with them. Are you waiting at the gate?”
“Yup.”
“Alright. See you in a minute,” Harry said and hung up while Niall was in the middle of shouting something. When he grabbed Ezili’s hand and squeezed, camera lights exploded in his concentrated green eyes, like flashes of memories, and she could see them going back to that night at his mother’s place where he’d saved her from his cousin. “Stay right behind me,” his voice was a whisper.
She nodded, clutching his hand as he opened the door, ducked his head, and stepped out. All around was a cacophony of screams, whispers, camera shutters, and honking of angry drivers trying to make their way through.
“Harry, Harry, is it true that you two are fake dating for PR?”
“Harry, is she your cousin?”
“Lady, are you using Harry for his money?”
Ezi ignored those reporters as she kept her head hung and followed Harry’s guide. She focused on the different types of shoes and their many colours, and for a moment, she felt as if her soul had left her body, and she was just a shell, being moved through the crowd. That was until a hard force shoved her to the side, and if it wasn’t for Harry’s fast reflex, she would have fallen. Her injuries tingled in the worst way, and she bit down on her lip as the pain wavered to her brain. But before she could react, Harry’s voice startled her. One of his hands was holding her shoulder, the other caught the fat man’s collar and shook him hard. “You lay your hands on my girlfriend again, and I’ll smack your head in, you prick.”
The man started apologising to Ezi as two airport security guards showed up and escorted them inside safely.
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
Maggie didn’t get on the plane with them. Ezi supposed that she didn’t want to relive her trauma by going back, but she wished Maggie was here so she didn’t have to feel so awkward sitting in silence with these men.
Well, with Harry at least. Dawson sat across the aisle and seemed unbothered as he made up some sophisticated lie to Niall about how they’d finally found Ezi’s family, so they were taking her to them. Niall being Niall, didn’t question much and was just enthusiastic to be included. Harry, on the other hand, was sitting opposite of Ezi in silence as he gazed out of the window, chin in his hand.
Fingers fidgeting in her lap, Ezi rolled her tongue a few times before she found the courage to speak. “Thank you,” she said, and his eyes shifted to her. “For…earlier.”
He gave a small smile. “Told you I’d protect you.”
When it came to her mother, however, she doubted he would be able to say that. Still, she appreciated his intention.
“You okay?” she asked when the silence returned. Everyone had been asking her if she was okay, but it was Harry the question should be directed to. It was his heart that her mother wanted…no, his life.
Thoughtfully, he pursed his lips. “Hmmm, I don’t know. Feels weird. On the one hand, I’m glad that I can do something for you. On the other hand, I’m being hunted by the fucking Sea Queen. That’s scary, but also an honour.”
Together, they laughed like they were just discussing a movie and not their reality.
“So you were angry at me for wanting to kill you, but it’s an honour when my mother does it?” said Ezi.
“I was angry because you lied to me actually. It made me wonder if any of it was real.”
“I wondered the same thing when you told me I would never be human.”
“I didn’t mean that.”
She paused. “I know that now.”
“Good,” he said. “Do you want to be human?” he asked. “When this is all over, of course.”
Ezi shrugged. “If only you survived.”
His lips twitched as he appreciated the humour. “I mean, I have no choice. Someone has to take care of my cat, and Niall would be a terrible cat dad.” He locked eyes with her for a beat. “And you, too, of course. I’ll have to survive for you.”
“Deal,” she said, hoping it’d be true.
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
This was how Harry died, trapped in this tiny beach cave. Clearly, a death by the Sea Queen story would sound much cooler, and it was the only motivation for him not to die here, at least for now. The entrance of the cave was so small, hardly more than a gap in the rock. Ezi was leading the group, followed by him, then Dawson. They had left Niall at Harry’s beach house and made him busy with the iPad. That wholesome image made Harry feel less afraid as they treaded through the water, with only a phone as a torch guiding the way. Two-thirds of the tunnel was filled with black water, and the other with sand that made his shoes sink with every step, and they didn’t want to risk going barefoot in case rocks or something sharp lurked beneath the surface.
The deeper they went in, the darker it got. The space they squirmed through was damp and smelled like dead things the sea had claimed, and the ceiling came down so close that they had to crawl now. Just when it seemed like the darkness would swallow them up, Harry saw a weak gleam ahead. Now they could stand to his full height once again. They had arrived in an open space that was as big as the size of the dining room in his mother’s manor. It looked like the sort of place pirates would hide their treasure and Greek heroes would come to fight a monster.
In the soft light from the algae growing on the walls, Harry recognised this cave. The first time Ezi had “rescued” him from the storm, she’d taken him here.
“Don’t go any further,” Ezi commanded, and they came to a halt. “The deep end is just right past those rocks. From there, just keep diving and you’ll eventually reach the palace, but I don’t think any of us will manage to get there with our human lungs.”
“So what’s the plan again?” Harry asked.
Dawson, who still seemed appalled by the whole situation, sucked in a deep breath. “Ezi will get into the water as bait.”
“No, they’ll kill her.”
“They have to keep her alive,” Dawson said. “They need the heart of a man who’s in love with a siren. If she died, it probably wouldn’t work.”
“On, please, you just found out sirens existed like five minutes ago. Don’t act like an expert.”
“Harry, you’re just talking out of your arse now–”
“Excuse m–”
“Guys, stop, please!” Ezi exclaimed, her voice echoing within the cave. “I’m going into the water. I know the water environment better than you all. I’ll try to get Mother or Koa to come up here and negotiate.” Harry opened his mouth but she shushed him immediately. “Harry, do you trust me?”
“Ezi–”
“Yes or no?”
The light in the cave gleamed in her eyes, softening his heart.
Forcefully, he nodded. “Alright. But come up as soon as you sense danger.”
As usual, she had this hardened look on her face like she was the toughest person in the world, the undead, immortal, but all Harry could see was a fragile young girl who was very much afraid. He wished he could give her a hug or took her back to his beach house where they could start over from day one. Instead, he watched nervously as she shrugged off her jacket and kicked off her shoes, preparing for her dive.
Suddenly, something grabbed his ankle and pulled him into the water.
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
Harry was there, then he was gone, swallowed by the black liquid. As afraid as Ezi was of the water, she was more afraid of letting Harry be taken. She rushed forward. Behind her, Dawson shouted, ‘No!’ but she ignored him. It was a good leap and when she broke the surface, it felt like a shock, as if she had been struck by lightning, and her heart would explode.
As she began to sink, she just kept going down, down, and down. The water was cold, cold, cold, even colder than she’d remembered. She thought she might just drown and made no effort to save herself. Her limbs felt so heavy, so sluggish, and it took every bit of willpower she got to gather her wits before she died then and there. She trod water, halted her descent to get her bearings, and stared into the depths below her. She was half-looking for Harry, half-looking for a siren. The liquid was a strange green from here, turgid barely seeming to move despite her thrashing, but at last she saw something below her, a pale blur, struggling weakly, increasingly weakly. She duck-dived, kicked, and pressed further into the icy dark.
Harry seemed to plummet, heavier than he should be, or perhaps pulled but Ezi could see nothing that gripped him. At last, she got a grip of his fingers, his palm, his wrist. Her human lungs were burning. Harry’s eyes were glazing over, the lids beginning to drop.
No, stay with me, she thought, emotions welling in her throat.
Harry’s hair like dark smoke around his bloodless white face as she pulled him hard toward her and clasped him to her chest. He was too far gone to hold onto her, so she had to swim single-handed, kicking like a frog. She wanted to look behind to ensure nothing was following them, but she didn’t. Concentrate, Ezi, said the voice inside her head, come on, up.
It was then that she felt a shudder through the water, like it was shivering from its own frigidity. Something yanked Harry back, dragging Ezi down with him, hard and fast. She spun her head around, panicked. And there was her sister in full siren form, fangs baring.
Koa looked into Ezi’s eyes and said something that Ezi couldn’t hear yet understood.
Welcome home, sister.

Game 30 For Posterity Mon, August 26 10:00pm EDT Washington @ Seattle
Starting: WASH: Atkins, Austin, Dolson, Sykes, Vanloo (Samuelson knee injury) SEA: Diggins-Smith, Horston, Loyd, Magbegor, Ogwumike
1st Quarter Ok, we played great defense on the first play but Nneka nailed a 3 anyway. What can you do? You can answer back—Slim just did. We run the feed to Shakira that worked well against the Sparks. Slim goes 3 again, she is starting out on fire. Ezi hits a 3 now and it's looking like a fun game early. This time the hi-lo goes to Stef to keep them guessing. Where has this offensive variety and discipline been the rest of the season? Slim gets a friendly roll for her 8th point in the opening 5 minutes. She goes one-on-one with Ezi now, and lays it in. Look out. Gabby Williams gets a welcome back shot deflected courtesy of Shakira Austin. I swear I can see Sami talk talk as she guards Jade bringing the ball up. Seattle close the gap on a couple DC turns. Now Stef gets a block. Nneka is playing amazing as usual. JVL for 3. And again. She misses the 3rd one but hey, take it. 24-19. Eric gets a tech complaining about no review of a face shot.
2nd Quarter Shatori hits the 3. I think we were embarrassed about the 20% from range against the Sparks. Former Storm coach Dan Hughes has been commentating alongside Dick Fain and wow, he is streets ahead of any other male commentator I have ever heard in the W. Excellent, nuanced, informed takes. Loving attitude. Can he replace Dick please? Seattle keeps stealing the ball. JVL 3. Very nice dance move by Horston. Game of mini runs right now. JVL is flirting with the Seattle staff. Engstler checks in and is given too much space on the arc—3. They leave her alone again, same result. Horston is blocking shots left and right. Engstler tech. I didn't see it. What premium package do I have to buy to opt out of hearing Dick Fain shriek? 42-43.
3rd Quarter Immediately Shakira goes down with a rolled ankle, she's out :( hopefully just this game. Outstanding blind bounce pass and score from Stef to Aaliyah who came in for Austin. Dan Hughes is gassing Stef up <3. She ties up Ezi off a rebound now, Ezi wins the tip. Jewell gets space on the perimeter and drills it. JVL tries the answer—no go, but Stef gets one on the next possession. Great move by Sykes to get to the rack. Stef: "That's so soft" to the ref after an extremely soft call when she trapped Jewell. Jewell goes on to hit a 3. Storm force a shot clock violation. Jade comes in and goes straight to the cup against her former team. Now Jade and Ezi high five after they get in a tie-up. Five consecutive turns finally stemmed by a Jewell bucket and Eric calls time. 100 of Jewell's family members are in the stands cheering her on <3 <3. Jado goes again straight for the hoop and this time makes the and-1. JVL takes a turn driving. I think Shatori just blocked the much taller Ezi, but it may have been Aaliyah from behind. Quarter ends with a 1-point lead, 56-55.
4th Quarter Sami Whitcomb hits a 3 to open the 4th. Shatori with a jumper, but Sami gets one the other way. Dan Hughes calls her timeless, which I may have to steal for my next birthday. Now Shatori gets a touchdown pass. Engstler steals and feeds Shatori again. It's Sami v Tori. Dick spitting painful facts about our closeout ability—3-17 in clutch games. There have been too many throwaways by both teams all game. Slim and Earl check back in. Slim gets her own rebound and puts it down. A Slim hard cut pays off. Nneka's shots are being rejected by the rim tonight. Stef had multiple 3 opportunities but kept passing—why??? DC has a 4-point lead with 2 minutes left. We're playing great D. Engstler comes in with a key save after Slim takes a very ill-advised shot versus two defenders. Sky keeps it within 2. Slim takes another early-clock difficult shot and misses. Nneka ties it with 55 seconds left. DC makes nothing of their possession. Seattle resets with 36 seconds. Tori pressures Jewell and the shot is off. Slim waits infuriatingly long then flails into Sky and manages to get the call with 1 second remaining. She makes the first. And the second. Timeout. Engstler gets a few fingers on the inbound pass and the Mystics win! 74-72 final.

44. Sitting on the others lap
//*chanting* gay bunnies gay bunnies
Ezekiel was never quiet sure how he found himself in some situations. His lack of direction in life often had him moving from one place to another without any real thought. It was how he met E'mal, through a job of some sort, and the two had become something of friends.
At least, he thought it was friendship. E'mal was often just around, much to the older Viera's bewilderment. He invited him along to things. Dances, balls, just to have a talk at the Inn. He indulged the man, and though he would hardly admit it, enjoyed E'mal's company.
Today was a little different. E'mal had asked him to meet him in Gridania, saying he wanted to have lunch together. He'd agreed.
Perhaps he wouldn't have, had he known what he was walking in too.
Tumblr media
Fully armoured, as always, and his sword upon his back he'd made his way to the well known forests and to the rural city scape. It was a little muggy, but bearable, as he weaved through the people passing by in the streets. Short ears turned up, twitching at noises and trying to locate the man who had invited him out. He could hear distance voices, a familiar laugh, and adjusted his path to find the shorter Viera.
He stepped into the Canopy, his weak eyes peering around the less cramped tables to find E'mal. No such luck. But he heard him, clear as day, speaking to someone - a few someone's. His head tilted to the side, and as he stepped forward, armour rattled announcing his presence. At least to the one who knew that sound very well. E'mal stood, an excited pop to his step as he left the crowded table and moved over to Ezekiel, who stood bewildered in the doorway.
Idiot.
"Ezie!" E'mal greeted him, smiling brightly as he motioned to the table. "Come meet everyone."
".....everyone?" The croaked words came out, his gaze shifting from the Viera to the forms at the table. He couldn't quiet make out the details from here. Two tall forms, another two a bit shorter. Ears? Red hair? He did not know these people. His walls already began to crawl back into place.
E'mal reached to place a hand on an armoured arm, eyelashes batting up at the man. "Just some friends. They're nice, I promise. And you'll be fine," he tried his best to reassure Ezekiel. It did not work.
Ezekiel, however, had come to find it very hard to deny E'mal much of anything these days. His sweet face, infectious personality, and those eyes.... fuck. The pale Viera sighed heavily. His shoulders visibly slumped. "Fine," he muttered lowly, unable to help the small scowl that crossed his features. He wasn't mad, far from it. He was just not a people person, and found it even harder to speak around more than one, given he didn't like speaking much at all.
With a little encouragement, E'mal dragged Ezekiel along to the table and ushered him to sit down on the last remaining seat. His sword was a little awkward, but shifting his shoulder would have him reposition it better so he could sit somewhat comfortable. Even if he tried very hard not to make eye contact with the myriad of eyes that stared back at him.
Who comes fully armoured to lunch? Ezekiel. That's who.
"Everyone, this is Ezie- ah, Ezekiel! The guy I met in Ishgard," E'mal would introduce him to the others, and introduce themselves in turn. Two Au Ra, one Raen and the other Xaela - though, he had Ears which he found unusual. A very short Elezen with fiery red hair, a Miqo'te with a very long tail that reminded him of someone else, and another Viera with hair as white as his own all welcomed him happily, even if he so much as grunted a hello in return.
Given there were no more seats left, and E'mal had no shame, he moved Ezekiel's arm and sat himself down in the large Viera's lap happily, and began recalling stories of their first meeting and the things they had been up to since.
Ezekiel was just glad he didn't have to do much of the talking.
Tumblr media
Have a dumb ramble about E'mal (@midnightmagicks) forcing Ezekiel into meeting his friends as an idea to how the gang meets the Bnuuy. Casual mentions of @shadesofblades, @sword-and-surfboard, @briar-ffxiv, @placesyoucallhome and @prettygayway!! <3
