#I didn't intend the fcs to work as they did

[thewolfisawake]

"On behalf of my lady, we're honored to be invited to the Unseelie, Your Majesty," a bow was given before the royal before silver eyes met a glittering one.

To which, Balmoral chuckled, "Och, so formal. We've known each other long, huvnae we? Though ah suppose this is the first meeting with your new name. Donovan, wasnae?"

"Indeed, on both accounts. However, I would still like to be able to address you properly at least once. After all, King Balmoral, this is our first meeting since your coronation. And while I unfortunately could not attend, I still consider it a celebration see the Unseelie in your hands," he said, placing a respectful kiss along the other's gloved hand.

The king chuckled, "Flattery gets you nowhere."

"Then it is fortunate that I have more than words at my disposal," Donovan remarked, look up from his bowed place before rising to meet Balmoral head on, "While it is good to see you, Bal, I'm a bit surprised to have you specifically invite me for the festivities. You've been going for a little by now, surely you don't have another war to wage so soon?"

"Naw, nothing like thon," Balmoral assured him, "but if ah were, ah widnae trouble you so soon."

"Nonsense, Lady Aleksandra is fond of you; the Maven has nothing but kudos for your extended hospitality; and of course, I am not against taking to a battlefield again if you are a player amongst it."

"And fall be indebted tae you again? Ah only jist paid your favor back," the fae quipped. Despite the jovial tone, that brought a pause to the phoenix. His favor? While it had been a while and Donovan assumed the other simply forgot...he also seemed to forget until this moment how a fae was bound by their word. Suddenly dazed, Donovan asked, "Is she--"

"She has been invited tae the Winter Revelry and attends as a part of the Seelie's delegation. Ah hae provided a place of her own within the Citadel and the Winter Palace. While ah find her skill superb fir my Court, ah cannae force her tae leave. So with thon ah fulfill my promise tae you, Donovan. As fir if she accepts, well, thon isnae fir me tae say, noo innit?"

✨GF FC INDIGO AWARDS 2024 PT 12✨

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9 | part 10 | part 11 | part 12 | part 13 | winner's list | after party

pre script : GUYS. I AM SO SORRY. I did NOT intend to stretch it out for this long but let's just say that the unfortunate things that happened to me (like steam burning my wrist 👍🏻) was NOT on my bucket list either. Anyways. It's all done now!! Every post is scheduled roughly 15-20 minutes from each other! Enjoy mi amigo!!

Some points to note before you move to the event visualizer : 

🟣 My anchoring style is highly energetic and bubbly so you can imagine me doing a lot of hand gestures, changing pitch and tones of my voice, moving around on the stage a lot, etc. Hehe.  

🟣 The theatre/event venue has been engineered by the best engineers of the world, with the most modern technology. The petals of the lotus can close or open to hide or reveal the night sky. It can also change its colours. For tonight, it's indigo!  

🟣 The "OUTFIT CHECK" were clicked in different places (according to where the member was spotted first) hence the different background. 

🟣 I didn't want to write too dialogues on yall's behalf but I can't really bother you with every small detail, so I hope whatever dialogues I've made up are not too out of character! 

🟣Ignore the contradiction of same blue locker entering the scene multiple times, pretend there are a few copies of each member 🥰👍🏻

🟣 Ignore the outfit mismatch in the edits (any edit after the outfit checks please, our editing skills only go so far 🙏🏻 ) 

🟣 I highly suggest that you listen to songs as you keep finding them being embedded in links for added feels and extra hype! 🔥

🟣 The performances where multiple songs have been used is supposed to be a mashup. You can imagine the mashup to be as you please! The songs I've bunched together are for the sole purpose of creating a particular vibe, so as long as to they are fulfilled it's all good! 😌🤝🏻

🟣 The posts are scheduled at a gap of 3-4 hours each, this event is going to be spread throughout 2 or more days. Feel free to go feral in the comments/reblogs/community my mates. 🔥 

🟣 I hope you enjoy this! Tagging all the attendees here :

Soleil : 😯

Lune : Whatever it is, she'll be fine. Atleast after this performance! She is too excited about this to just disappear. 

Soleil : 👀

[goodbyenorthernlights]

I'm curious to know if you've pulled some of Rezo's vibes into your characterisation of Saejid or did you perhaps already intend to draw some inspo from him when coming up with Saejid's premise. :3

Not at all, honestly! I didn't even know Rezo existed when I was developing Saejid- I was vaguely aware of Slayers as an anime I had tried watching as a teenager and only seen the first episode of before going "Ehhh this isn't my thing."

Saejid was originally based on a character I came up with as a teenager for a Gaia Online RP where the antagonists were themed around the idea of childhood fears- the monster under the closet, that sort of thing- and proto!Saejid (his name has been lost to the sands of time/my memory, alas) was meant to be the anthropomorphic personification of Iatrophobia (the fear of doctors) because finding doctors scary struck me as something kids do a lot. So I had this concept of a sadistic doctor archetype already just lying around.

(Proto!Saejid also was based off of a random drawing I'd found online, probably via searching something like "anime doctor" on photobucket and using what I found as a FC, because that was what you did on Gaia Online. Art theft was unfortunately widespread and not recognized as theft. This is actually one of the reasons I eventually stopped using the website for RP entirely tbh, once I learned more about art theft and why it's a problem I wasn't able to strike a comfortable balance between "most RPs expect you to provide a picture of your character" and. Not committing art theft about it. Anyway, tangent!

And proto!Saejid's FC wasn't of Rezo btw, it was... Some white haired anime dude in a labcoat with a :| expression that I think came from a yaoi manga originally.)

Anywho I had this concept lying around and I remember we wound up discussing the concept of Dragonsbayne as a farming sim with the characters as marriage candidates, because I was playing a lot of Rune Factory 4, and for a protag I made up this gender-neutral design I called Luka...

don't ask me how the pattern on their scarf works And Luka I had the concept that it would turn out they would be an amnesiac homunculus, and so I figured I'd make up a character who would have been Luka's creator.

I remembered this vague concept I had still floating in my brain and, never one to turn down the opportunity to draw a bishonen, wound up designing Saejid.

I didn't get into Slayers, and Rezo, until late 2021- digging thru my files, it looks like Saejid's original concept art was drawn sometime in February 2020.

isn't the ms paint glorious

Anyway, Rezo and Saejid do have some noticeable similarities- both of them are "mad scientist" archetypes with kind of a "usually cool-headed intellectual" thing going on, and both of them are very manipulative characters. And also they're both anime pretty boys. So it's likely that there's going to be some more overlap in characterization when I write either of them.

That said they are actually still very different characters in my head! I think the key is in their storylines/motivations. Saejid is a character who starts out in a very good and secure place for him, personally, where he has power over other people and everything he needs and wants. When his world starts changing and the fae community starts opening up to other people, he panics and schemes and conspires to keep his position from potentially changing- even though his behaviour ultimately puts him in a worse place than he'd have probably wound up if he'd just gone with the flow.

Basically he's like a billionaire who's mad that he might have to start paying more taxes and giving his employees health insurance.

Rezo on the other hand... My personal take is admittedly controversial in the fandom but I see him as someone who has spent his entire life struggling in the literal and metaphorical dark under the manipulations of an outside force, fruitlessly pursuing something he thinks will release him from his own misery. He's someone stuck in a genuinely bad situation and trying ruthlessly to get out of it.

If I had to compare Saejid to a Slayers character... Rezo would be in there in terms of demeanor and methodology, but so would Halcyform and a touch of Hellmaster. But in terms of motivation Saejid's, I think, actually closer to being the Supreme Elder from Slayers TRY. He wants to keep a "safe" status quo and doesn't care who suffers because of it, as long as they aren't someone he sees as "his people." (And by the end maybe not even that.)

[cagedchoices]

Hiiii I'm really sorry to bother you but I noticed on your old blog you used to have a rule that said not to treat your character like Jesse Pinkman. I think I get why its a concern but I'm wondering why it doesn't say that anymore and also I'm curious to know about what you think the differences between Caleb and Jesse are

omg ok first of all bb, you are certainly not bothering me by asking questions. i appreciate being asked thank you 🥰

secondly uh, i removed that disclaimer from my rules bc i felt like i didn't really need it anymore. it does still apply but i really only had it up bc when i was still fairly new to writing caleb i would get a lot of anons making br.ba jokes. so naturally there would be a lot of people pretending to be fuckin walter white in my inbox trying to tell caleb "let's cook" and like "jesse stop screwing around with robots and get back to work" and shit and like. yeah it's a fun little joke. ONCE. 😬

when you're seeing it multiple times a day/week it loses charm real quick. so i decided to be kinda petty about it and be like 'y'all know that caleb is NOT jesse right?' and i did two things. i flat out stopped responding to br.ba anons and i added that warning to my rules. and it seemed like it worked! i stopped getting flooded and my inbox was allowed to know peace again. but like i said, i don't think i really need it anymore because it should just be kind of a given, right? i mean i'm sure this has happened to other people before and will continue to happen bc that's the internet and unfortunately some people have no concept of boundaries and others just struggle with understanding that they might be making someone uncomfortable without intending to.

but like. to think of a popular example which i'm sure has happened before and will surely happen in the future i just think of a mun who writes joel from the last of us and maybe they like using pedro pascal's portrayal and they enjoy using him as an fc. now imagine that rper getting an inbox filled with anon messages treating joel as totally indistinguishable from the mandalorian. telling him he's gotta go find grogu or asking him why he abandoned his son for ellie or something along those lines. there are some GLARING differences between joel miller and din djarin. they're clearly not the same character.

so it might be funny to the person sending the messages and they're probably just having fun like. i'm sure they don't mean anything bad by it. but lemme tell ya, it's not as much fun to the mun on the receiving end. and in my case it sent me into a lil bit of a writer crisis like 'oh fuck is caleb nichols just a carbon copy of jesse pinkman is that how other people i write with see him?? what can i do to make him stand apart and be different without pulling him away from westworld canon too much??'

so anyway that's the rant over with. to answer the second half of this, caleb and jesse are different people. they just are. they do have a lot in common ranging from appearance to basic personality traits to the way they use body language, but they aren't completely the same. they come from different backgrounds which were influenced by various different factors.

jesse is more creative, he's an artist at heart and he has an artist's mindset and that's a kind of freedom to him. he expresses himself mainly through aesthetics. he draws, he wears a colorful wardrobe that really makes him stand out, the first time walter tells him that cooking crystal is chemistry jesse argues back that it is art and he has his signature style and he resents that walt forces him to change it. the reason jesse got involved in the drug trade is predominantly because it's the one place he is allowed and encouraged to express himself freely through art.

caleb on the other hand, is a soldier and he has a soldier's mindset toward most things. he is/was for the most part content with being told what to do next, following orders, sticking to a game plan. he expresses himself mainly through acts of service in canon, particularly to family as we see with his mom in the hospital and when he leaves his wife and daughter behind to go try and put a stop to the war that's coming. he wants to help, he wants to keep everyone safe and the only way he really knows how to do that is to fight.

i'd also say that while jesse and caleb are both highly empathetic and sensitive to the feelings of others, caleb is more stoic about it. i'm not totally sure if that's just how he is naturally or if he's so wracked and troubled by traumatic experiences and was trained to swallow those emotions in the military or otherwise learned to shut down but like. where jesse is always emoting something and never just sitting completely still and blank, caleb seems more comfortable with staying quiet and not always necessarily showing what's on his mind at a given moment.

and there are or course many more things i can say about specific differences but i feel like i've made this post long enough and gone on a scattered tangent so like. i might explore it way more in depth at a later date. ❤️

March 10th, 2024 - Arcaea, DJMAX

KAPS V.S. MANIC JEER - DAY 2!!!

But first, a quick break to warm up before diving straight in! This one, as I like to call it in every single other rhythm game it's in, is the Diet Luze experience!!! "For when you can't handle the real deal, but just can't get enough of Luze charting..." (DX Choseinou Full Metal Shoujo FTR-9+ FC!!!)

Grinded a bit in and out of World Mode to get both of these: Quon (the WACCA one) BYD, and next to you FTR-8+ PM!!! (MAX-28)

And now, the Manic Jeer grind commences once more...!! Didn't get as many score screenshots as I wanted to (since i May have kept restarting), but I started and ended strong with a slight 7.7k upscore in the end!! (so close, yet so far from the EX...)

And now, we take a break from Arcaea for a little bit and turn our attention towards this new development in 2DKAPS (rhythm) gaming: I GOT A PS5 DUALSENSE CONTROLLER!!!! I tried it using bluetooth, but it was awful and I figured out how to play with it using a cable shortly after. But regardless, this is a huge development... as I'm now able to play DJMAX the way god intended!! That's right, my DJMAX controller arc begins NOW!!! I even got an FC on XLASHER HD with it to commemorate the occasion!!!

Back to Arcaea between and after work, where I saw a challenge to get a PM on an ONGEKI collab chart and started practicing right as I got out. Unfortunately though, exhaustion from work hit and I couldn't get much else. Hopefully this should be mitigated soon (at least, maybe in the daytime) as I have another, bigger announcement now to make for myself: I'm on medication now!!! Unsure if I should specify though it's nothing too bad, but I'm finally being treated/treating myself after all these years of pain and suffering with my autism...

Will this show any improvement in rhythm games? Well, it might? But it's hard to tell whether it's placebo or not. After all, it's only been one day of taking it so far. I'll have to wait weeks until I can make a proper conclusion... but my doctor did mention that it might improve focus. I'll try my best only to use that on academics right now, but maybe during a break...

[gatheredfates]

This is not intended to come across as rude, but I think this is a strange and bad-faith interpretation of my post.

I have a specific tumblr on which i reblog pretty stuff i love, i don't get why to get mutuals i have to reblog on my aesthetic tumblr ones?

Then this post is not about you, because you're still supporting your friends in some capacity. I'm talking about communities I have come from (looking at you old-school WoW) where people would simply reblog aesthetics and asks over and over without ever sending anything to other people and then wonder why their stuff isn't gaining traction. I'm talking about people who didn't want to be a part of a community but still expected the community to come to them by virtue of them simply existing without putting any work in. I'm talking about people who would isolate those with hodgepodge blogs because they didn't fit the 'mould' of what an acceptable roleplay/fandom blog is. I'm not talking about people who have separate blogs to fit certain niches.

I shouldn't have to justify my stance, mostly because I didn't think it was controversial, but here we are.

I'm talking about people breaking their own fears of communication and reaching out, because there is so much good to be had in telling people you like their work and supporting them. If you like something, you shouldn't be afraid to say that you like it because you might come across as 'weird' or 'annoying'. I have had more people cap my tags and post how much they made them laugh then tell me my comment was unwelcomed (of the latter, I have had none). But I know there are people who are so fixated on coming across a certain way that they will limit themselves at the cost of bonds they could make with people. There are people who have had horrible experiences in fandom (myself included!) who are working every day to break the cycle of their anxiety to be more inclusive and interactive in their communities so that other people can step forward too.

I feel like your 'fun facts' are needlessly hostile. I don't need to tell you my diagnosed mental health struggles to seem more legitimate. I don't appreciate your implication that I'm saying the only way to get popular is to support peoples' work. Despite what it might look like to some people, I'm not popular. I hang out with a small group of friends in my tiny FC and come to tumblr to meet more people in the community and have a nice time.

Vehiculate the idea that you have to reblog to get friends and support, is super wrong!

If I did this to be popular/get friends, I would have quit by now lol. However, spreading work you enjoy to other people who might enjoy is actually super cool! I empathise with you as someone who has separate blogs with smaller counts where your stuff isn't seen because people don't look at your links. Unfortunately, that is the 10% rule of media. Of anything you create, only 10% of people will engage with it beyond looking at it. If that is your aesthetic blog and you're cool with that being your main, you have to accept 10% will see it and probably only 10% of those people will follow it. The rest will follow your support blog unless your aesthetic blog caters to their needs. That's just how humans and media work. If you're happy with that, that's great! I am not here to judge you. I have a personal blog with a much smaller follower count for that reason.

I have seen many people supporting others all the way with countless reblogs and they never got anything in return.

Encouraging people to be more supportive is a thing, but don't punish them if they don't the way you would, that's super weird and not helpful at all?

I send questions to people who don't and probably never will follow me. I reblog gposes and posts from people who, perhaps like you, would look at my hodgepodge blog and hate it. I don't expect people to engage with my work and a lot of people who I interact with don't! That still doesn't stop me from interacting with their work, short of them telling me they don't appreciate it or outright blocking me.

The only thing super weird about this post is your assumption that I would punish people for interacting on a website in a way that's different to how I use it. I can have my opinion of it, which I voiced. If you don't like it, there is a handy feature called the block button and xkits blacklist feature. Tumblr functions by people reblogging. It's not controversial to say that if you don't reblog things, no one will see them. I'm not incorrect in saying commenting nice things to people is never a bad thing, or supporting your friends is a good thing to do. If you can't for whatever reason, I'm not calling you a loser or being ablest like you seem to be implying.

keep my aesthetic tumblr alone please, the problem is not there.

TL;DR: I hadn't attacked it in the first place.

Also team, let this be the year we are more comfortable interacting with each other. Forget aesthetic, like/reblog to support your friends. Comment on their work. Be feral. A community is only as good as the members in it and we should strive to support each other.

╔══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╗

You could see the sweat dripping from Jimin's forehead as he caught his breath. He was the forward/striker and star athlete for FC Seoul. He rubbed his temple thinking of his next move.

The opposing team had a 2 point lead and you could tell it was getting to him. His teammate and one of the defenders, Jeon Jungkook, had attempted an assist to him, but missed his footing before sliding across the field.

Jungkook sprained his knee and was out of the game. Besides Jimin, he was one of the top players on the team. Your arms were folded across the replica #13 jersey, which matched that of your husband's.

"Come on, Jimin." you whispered, biting your lip slightly.

A little boy, who was a fan of his, looked over at his father in anguish.

"Is Park going to pull through, appa?" tugging at his father's hand.

The man looked with uncertainty until we all looked back onto the field.

Kim Namjoon, who was transferred in place of Jungkook, made the assist to Jimin before he made the goal, earning the team a point.

The audience cheered as he made his way back, sending a nod your way. Mouthing a "You got this!" and blowing a kiss in his direction, Jimin quickly ran back in formation.

The next goal, if Seoul makes it, will make the teams tied. The ball was now with the midfielder, Min Yoongi, as he dribbled it across the field. Dodging defenders left and right, he had a clear shot to Namjoon.

He kicks the ball into the tall defender's direction, where he makes another assist to Jimin. Your husband makes the goal, watching the goalkeeper of the opposite team miss the block.

You stood up and cheered with the other Seoul fans. Now it was time to figure out who had the edge to win the game. Jimin made a cross symbol across his chest then pointed towards the sky, in hopes for the outcome of today's event.

You'd be lying if you didn't mention his reputation within the league. He's played soccer his entire life, to the point where your mother-in-law claims that he practically came out of the womb with a soccer ball.

With all his years of practice and playing time, Jimin joined the club at the ripe young age of 19 and became known for his overconfidence, along with his bachelor lifestyle.

This all changed once he met you, a regular college student, soon hitting it off and becoming a couple. Dating for almost three years, he proposed to you on Valentine's Day, now having 5 years of marriage under your belt.

Your relationship had its ups and downs, particularly with the tabloids. When your then 25-year-old husband was seen courting your 19-year-old self, the press made assumptions about you instantly.

Were you his sugar baby? Were you some gold digger? No, you were two adults who met by chance and intended on having a conventional relationship.

Jimin was squatting, with his hands on his knees, waiting for the ball to come his way. Yoongi passes it once more to Namjoon, who makes yet another assist to your husband. You clenched your hands over your mouth as it felt like the world had stopped for just this moment.

He flipped his blonde locks, full pink lips parting open before squinting his eyes to get a better look at the goalie. If you were not informed about his current occupation, you could have sworn he was capable of being a model.

The goalkeeper's name was Choi Soobin from what you heard. His hair was long and he had plump lips that almost rivaled that of Jimin's, but this pretty boy was not at all going to intimidate him either way.

Jimin swings his foot backward and kicks the ball into the net before Soobin even has time to react. He just stands there in stunned silence, that is soon drowned out by the cheers from Seoul.

The team lifts your husband in the air as the audience cheers along with them. You rush down the field once the team disperse and jump right into his arms, pulling him into a passionate kiss.

"Baby, you did it!" you beamed at Jimin.

"It was a team effort, but having you watch added some extra motivation." he explains, having a firm grip on your hips.

His hands moved further south until they were right on top of your butt, which were restricted in the tight jeans you currently wore.

"Y/N, how about we get back home and celebrate this win before we give Choi a show." Jimin squeezes your cheeks and leans in further to lightly whisper once more.

"Let me remind you why you're lucky to be married to the #1 player in the league, possibly even the whole country." he gives you an enticing look, the two of you walking hand in hand to the Cadillac XT6 he bought for you as an anniversary gift.

The both of you could barely keep your hands off each other on the way home. Jimin was eye fucking you as you climbed put the car and maintained a firm grip on your thigh throughout the whole 20 minute drive.

You were glad that you decided to give the staff the day off to spend with your man. Your sex life was not "boring" by any means, even after almost a decade together.

Jimin hastily unlocked the front door throwing his bag towards the living room area, almost startling your dog Ariel.

"Sorry, Ari. Mommy and Daddy have things planned." you whisper in a baby-like voice before being pinned to the door of your bedroom.

"You're right, Y/N. Daddy has plans for you." Jimin attacks your lips in an instant.

His hands danced across your chest so delicate, yet so rough, you started fantasizing about different ways he'd continue at this pace.

"Honey, you know I was never into the whole daddy kink thing." you teased, watching your husband's eyes darken with lust.

"Well, it's a good thing you're into me, huh?" with this, Jimin turned you around with your back flush against his chest.

You could feel how hard he was through his shorts. The anticipation of feeling him inside you couldn't be explained as he started pushing you further, arms pinned back and all, towards the king size bed.

He pulls your jeans down to see that you had foregone panties altogether. Licking his lips, he swats at your behind, taking pleasure at the whimper that came out as a result.

"Couldn't stop thinking about you fucking me so good, whether we won or lost today, but we both knew losing just wasn't an option." you moaned out.

Hearing you talk dirty made Jimin feel insatiable. He doesn't hesitate to take off his jersey followed by his briefs and shorts.

Jimin carefully placed the head of his member inside of you as you bite down onto the sheets. You didn't waste a moment to buck your hips back onto his as you felt him inside of you.

"God, fuck! Y/N, you always take me so well." he said while he grabbed onto your ankles to steady your movements.

"Baby, you know I can't resist you. Just the thought of you coming home and fucking me on every surface makes me wet." you stuck two of your manicured fingers in your mouth and put them further down your body.

You writhed and shaked from the sensation of having both Jimin and your fingers inside of you.

"I know you can't resist me because you're mine." he landed a loud smack to your left butt cheek.

"This is my ass." landing a smack to your right cheek.

"This is my tight little hole." landing another on your right.

"And these gorgeous, big tits belong to me too." Jimin starts moving at an achingly faster pace than before, pinching your breasts as your whines could be heard throughout the room.

The main force that set off this more possessive side of your husband for sure was singing your hand, which had the 3 carat round cut diamond ring sat on your finger, grabbing the sheets. Also, just seeing you with nothing on, but the jersey with his name and number on it made him smile inside.

"Jimin, I'm so close!" you breathe out before your whole body shakes on top of him.

He pulls out of you, soon switching positions, so now he was laying on his back and you were laid facing him between his legs.

"Let me thank you for making me feel good, baby." you smile up at Jimin, kissing the side of his manhood.

You pump it, using all your juices to lubricate. The tip slides into your mouth as you begin to suck and fit all you can at a time.

You bobbed your head quicker than before as you started to see even more pleasure wash over Jimin.

"Fuck, Y/N, if you keep going I'll finish down your throat." he groaned, brushing your hair lightly with his fingers.

That's what you wanted. The idea of Jimin coming down your throat made you want to take him even faster and deeper. He takes notice of this and begins to twitch in your mouth.

"Y/N! Baby, fuck!" at this, the translucent liquid from your husband's member entered your throat, with some even landing on your lips.

You let go of his shaft and lick the rest of him off your mouth. The two of you cuddle up together underneath the sheets, you taking comfort in his chest.

"That was amazing, baby." Jimin said, kissing your forehead.

"It's because I'm into you." you say, using his own words against him.

"I hope I wasn't TOO rough tonight." Jimin said while he rubbed the flesh of your backside, trying to soothe the area.

"You know I love it when you don't hold back." you laugh a bit, but he remains silent.

"Is everything okay?" you ask.

"Well… after this and now thinking about how supportive you've been all these years, I couldn't have asked for a better wife." he starts, only to surprise you with his next words.

"I've been thinking for awhile, I'm getting older and my career is beginning to slow down, so I thought maybe we could try for a baby?" Jimin blushes, waiting for you to speak.

"Of course."

Bromance week posting #8

Who: John Stones, Jordan Pickford Request: Seeing as the red card prompt was already taken, could I request it for the bromance week instead? John stones gets a red card and he is still angry after the match but jordan pickford manages to calm him down? Maybe suggests some of the things he has learnt in anger management? 😂 Requested by: anonymous Warnings: none Thanks for your request. Hope you'll like it :-)

"Fuck this!" Over an hour after the match, John was still livid about the red card he had been shown around the hour mark. He had serious doubts about being sent off. In his opinion it wasn't justified at all, and therefore he had huge trouble with accepting it. John had lost count of how many teammates and members of staff had come to talk and try to calm him down in the meantime, but he had told each and every one of them, quite furiously, to sod off. John seated himself at the very back of the bus for the drive back to their hotel. Still absolutely seething with anger, he had no desire to talk to anyone, fearing he might actually hurt someone if he heard another word about his red card. Most of his teammates got the hint, and sat as far away from him as possible, but Jordan still threw himself down in the seat next to John. "You need to fuck off, too." John growled venomously. Even with Jordan he did not want to speak right now. To John's surprise, Jordan flashed him a brief, mocking smile. "No," the goalkeeper stated confidently, not at all bothered by the furious look John gave him. "Fine." John nearly spat the word at his friend, "but I'm not talking." "Yeah, about that," Jordan started, sounding airy and taking his sweet time to pluck a sticker off an apple he was about to eat. "The team shoved me forward to give that one last try." "I'm still fuming about this, so good luck with that," John scoffed. Jordan shrugged, not taking his eyes off his apple. "So far you're talking. You never shut up for long, so I'm giving it a few more minutes and you'll be babbling the ears off my head again." Jordan glanced up at John, giving him a mischievous wink and a smirk. Even though he didn't intend to, John chuckled. He turned his head to look out the window, as the chuckle turned into a laugh. The sound of his own laughter and the rumble of it in his chest, seemed the perfect remedy for his anger. He couldn't quite explain it, but his laughter melted the anger away like snow under the sun. One snarky comment from Jordan was apparently all he needed to calm down and snap out of it. "Works, huh?" John turned his head back to find Jordan's gaze firmly focused on him again. There was such a look on hiss face that betrayed Jordan had been expecting this outcome. "How did you know?" John asked. "Remember that anger management class I took a while back?" Jordan explained, "out of all the techniques, I learned that humor always works best to defuse these kind of situations." "Ah." John feigned surprise. "So ever since then you've become such a pain in my ass?" Jordan laughed. "I guess so." John gave Jordan a friendly pat on the knee. "Than I'm glad you're one angry goalie, mate."

WWE Summerslam 2022 - Quickfire Thoughts and Reaction

A new era has begun in WWE, Triple H is back in the creative chair and has promised some shakeups

While Raw and Smackdowns have taken place since, this is the first true event where the McMahon-Helmsley era of WWE ownership begins. Let's see how it goes

Spoilers for the PPV

Kickoff

I'll be honest, I didn't watch the Kickoff, I scrubbed through the video and since there were 0 matches again, I didn't bother.

Main Card

Ah they're still calling it a 'premium live event'?

Those sound like peppered boos from Becky and is that an Alundra Blayze-themed attire?

Commentary noting that Becky went through a full on losing streak only to win 2 matches and get a title shot does expose the poor booking choice though

Bianca doing a blue chaps attire for hometown Nashville

No quickfire squash for this one, thankfully

I also want to take this moment to say Fuck Kevin Dunn for attempting to derail Becky and others from getting tv time and pushes simply because he didn't get a hard on for them. This is meant to be a wrestling show, and Becky is beautiful anyway

Becky whipping out Diamond Dust now? Love seeing wrestlers whip out a new move

That Manhandle Slam sell was great too, completely folded

Super Spanish Fly and KOD wins it for Bianca. It was a good match, strong opener, not better than their Mania show stealer but that is a high bar

And a handshake hints at a face turn maybe? Would be overdue because the crowd reaction has always been strong for Becky even as a heel

But now Bayley is back! And she brought Io and Kota!!!

Trips making a statement; 3 big Black and Gold NXT names back (long overdue callups too because 2.0 was not working for them), women's opener and the hometown girl wins.

I will have to wonder though, because all 3 women deserve to be world champion and there's only 2 main roster titles, unless Trips intend to bring back Black and Gold. I guess they could reignite the women's tag titles but I feel like Trips would want Sasha and Naomi back as a priority

Ha, Logan Paul didn't get cheered even against Miz XD Didn't even get new attire

Camera is getting over the top again

Is, Paul selling the Figure Four he has locked in? He kept shooting back like he had been poked in the eye

Ciampa is about to get ejected (effectively by being caught on the apron) but refuses so AJ's music plays to blindside him

Table spot to try and pop the crowd, very Shane McMahon move

Maryse is caught on the apron: doesn't get ejected

Paul wins via Skull Crushing Finale from dodging being hit by a...polaroid? It was, fine, kinda by the numbers aside from two moonsaults, I don't care for it really

Didn't care for the Maximum Male Models ad put right in between a Brock and Reigns package...

No love for Theory, still

Ash yes, because nothing says USA like Leeds United FC

Briefcase attack pre-match for heat and to imply doubt

Match was pretty short really, Lashley missed the spear, so Theory tried to do a rolling Cutter but got Gorilla Pressed into the Hurt Lock. Didn't need to be there, but I guess tapping quickly is Theory's plan for staying fresh for the main event

Hmmm, more 2 day Manias, who was the one who didn't want it again?

I don't agree with Road Dogg on a lot of things, but I do agree that WWE book Rey as a terrible babyface; he never wins the feud even when it's personal, most of his wins involve interference or cheating and he approves matches like this knowing Rhea will get involved

Also McDonalds colours is not it guys

It's No DQ why are there still legal tags?

Rhea please you're too beautiful to make me pay attention to the match

Rey is 47 remember, he's still this good and deserves more. I hope before he retires (a sad day that'll be) he has a Liger-esque tour of dream matches across all promotions

Edgy Edge comes back mid-match, spearing the JDs to set up a 619 after Rhea thwarted it

Surprised but not mad that the Mysterios won, but it did feel like they were just props for Edge's return, the No DQ format was barely even used too

Owens will for sure benefit from Trips' booking

The Joker even showed up to Summerslam

Couldn't get Seven Nation Army again I see

Reminder that including this, McAfee has had only 2 more matches than Logan Paul and two happened on the same night

Ugh, Ref Bump leads to McAfee low blowing Corbin and then a Code Red

I must admit it still smarts me that there are full time wrestlers booked worse than a commentator

Drew came out to promote Clash at the Castle, it was a good promo tbf, Drew's a great Babyface

Can't do a PPV in an American Football stadium without using their cheerleaders

Those holograms were not in sync

Ha! 'You lose, you go to the bottom of the ladder' is one hell of a lie

The pop-up neckbreaker was a nice move

Tezzy don't do it

*sigh* Welp, Profits lost AGAIN, credit to Jarrett calling it down the middle but it does defeat the drama of having a special guest ref. Didn't get any post-match or heel turn either

So now I ask again, what do we do with the tag division? There's not a Babyface team out there that's able to beat the Usos now, Mysterios are feuding with JD with Edge and New Day are feuding with the Viking Raiders

And we're bringing Charlotte back with a package reminding how much WWE has overpushed her

That is 1000000 times less Kid Rock than I ever needed to see...

Riddle's here too calling out Seth despite not being cleared

Seth comes out, brawls and stomps Riddle before leaving, asking the question why?

Ronda's mascara job is another miss

Liv getting the bigger pop than Ronda still

What. Was That? Let's not ignore the fact that bell to bell that was 4 and a half minutes long, but this was basically Liv being squashed and having a dusty win by the fact that she tapped out (before 3 as well) while pinning Ronda who had her in an armbar just to spare Rousey's blushes

Was this really to turn Ronda heel? Attacking Liv and the Ref, because we made Liv look so damn weak for no reason but to keep Rousey looking strong. It's always the same kind of defeat with her too

Ugh, Mayor of Knox County

Really stretching their 'first time evers' by saying it's the first Last Man Standing Match of Summerslam

Start the main event with a promo, okay

Lesnar here with a tractor that apparently Roman never saw when coming down the ramp

Judy Bagwell thanking her lucky stars she isn't on that thing, but it reminds me of Lesnar vs Big Show's stretcher match, right down to diving off the vehicle

This was just a squash trade to start, Brock beat down Roman using the steps and barricade, then Roman beat down Brock with table bumps, then Brock beats down Roman with steps and the table fragments

After dropping him out of a tractor, Brock beat him down some more, Reigns got the Guillotine but then Brock got the Kimura, since Reigns got up he upends the entire ring with the tractor

Usos finally get involved, Heyman takes a table bump and Brock gets speared

And out comes Theory...he hits Roman with the briefcase but then gets F-5'd

Brock survives a double superkick and gets speared again, survives that so Roman beats him with the briefcase, survives some more, belt shot, survives again...this isn't dramatic

Hey now you can't start a count while the guy is still being attacked, that's a rule of the match, another belt shot and the bloodline bury Brock under furniture to 'win'

Chaotic? Yes, Good? Not sure about it, don't think I was captivated by it, just felt like they were doing big spots for the sake of it

Theory's still MITB holder too don't forget about that

Conclusion

So, Summerslam. Triple H's new vision looks to have some foundation, but it needs work still.

The opener was great, we've set up a new faction full of incredibly talented women, one I hope will be a cross-brand faction so all three can have their touch of gold (admittedly I would've brought Bayley to confront Liv rather than Bianca because SD's women's division is the one lacking depth). We also have Becky turning face which is overdue.

Despite this though, the rest of the show was fine to baffling. Don't care for Paul so the match weren't for me, Lashley match didn't need to be there either, the Mysterios got a surprise win because Edge came back (I guess Rhea vs Bianca will have to wait) which is kinda nice but also, Rey's first main card PPV win since May 2021 (if you include kickoff show then it's first since February) is due to interference, we celebrated 20 years since his debut this week. I guess Pat winning was fine too.

But the rest of the card is just muddled; Tag division is a mess, we shorthanded the SD Women's championship match to 4 and a half minutes (reminder that AEW's women's division got flack for having a 10 minute women's title match with a challenger who had beaten the champion earlier) and our finale was a mess.

Overall, good start but shoddy booking petered the show out, there's some positives to take but a lot of negatives still present from the old era. Rome, however, was not built in a day.

Results and Predictions

Bianca Belair (c) def. Becky Lynch - Pinfall via KOD Logan Paul def. The Miz (w/Maryse & Ciampa) - Pinfall via Skull-Crushing Finale Bobby Lashley (c) def. Theory - Submission via Hurt Lock The Mysterios def. Judgement Day - Pinfall on Priest by Rey via Splash Pat McAfee def. Happy Corbin - Pinfall via Code Red The Usos (c) def. Street Profits - Pinfall on Dawkins by Jimmy via 1-D Liv Morgan (c) def.?

How did you start writing for Aeryn as only a fanfic/short stories? How do you not want to Rp with her? Also how do you play multiple characters?

In the order I felt like answering and it got long so:

Also how do you play multiple characters?

Irresponsible use of my free time. I am happily single and have no kids; just a roommate and our two cats. I also have a steady 8 to 5 Mon-Fri work schedule and currently work from home, and am a natural introvert who'd rather hermit than go out anyway. So I have the time and money to do as I like right now; it's kinda novel, actually.

Iyna and C'oretta do languish in older content (Stormblood and Shadowbringers respectively right now), and only unlock some things as I slowly catch them up, and I feel free to buy boosts as needed. I do most things on Aeryn and Dark, and even then I end up focusing on one or the other, or alternating. I'll likely get to the alts later in the patch cycle.

Having played WoW where multiple alts were an expectation of that set up (and before things were shared across one's account), and wanting to replay the MSQ before New Game+ existed, it didn't seem that alien a concept to me, nor did developing stories and roleplay personalities for them as well. C'oretta was a surprise who formed over a few months of playing her. Iyna came to mind with a solid backstory and personality already, just a few new details here and there cropping up as time goes on, as I never meant to make a viera at all.

As a note, all my WoW RP characters had not only backstories I wrote, but also reactions and interactions with the main storylines, or stories I made up each expac, that were not RP but solo fic adventures. I should really make a pseud and throw a bunch of them on Ao3 sometime.

How do you not want to Rp with her?

I've fallen out of love with open world roleplay entirely. While it was much of my time in WoW, and I initially intended to, I found I didn't have the energy or interest in joining the FFXIV RP community and all that would entail. The time and commitment requirements, not to mention all the petty dramas, felt like too much. I'm fairly shy and awkward (like a lot of RPers!) and I simply hit a point where the effort wasn't worth the cost anymore. I'm old and tired.

I do sometimes RP little scenes with my FC, cuz most of us have played and written together for about a decade and a half now, but it's really just hanging around our house between queues and discussing headcanons and sometimes doing some collaborative writing (or just signing off on someone's use of a character in their stories). I very occasionally take Dark to RP events.

Some folks can do two versions of their character; a roleplay version and the Warrior of Light version for MSQ. I couldn't do that with Dark Autumn once I set her story and role in my mind, and C'oretta wasn't even meant to stick around past the Ul'dah intro, but similar deal there.

Aeryn was written specifically to be a Warrior of Light, going through the MSQ as Hydaelyn's Champion. I never asked my FC to see her as anything but another Echo-having adventurer when we hang out together, but they do what they want.

I get my roleplay fix in D&D games played with friends for a couple hours most weekends, using online virtual tabletops even before the pandemic. I've never liked Tumblr RP--this is a terrible medium for it--though Discord's worked out decently a few times.

How did you start writing for Aeryn as only a fanfic/short stories?

I go over it a bit in the one link in my Pin Post. I was noticing how folks were perfectly OK with having their own Warriors of Light, the way I'd seen folks have their own Shepherds and Wardens/Hawkes/Inquisitors in Bioware fanfiction. Having come from a different RP and fic writing environment on my old WoW server, it was new and something I mulled over, as I never wrote fics for my own Bioware OCs. Then I found out about the CGI Midlander Woman, and mulled some more. If some folks made male Meteor lookalike WoLs, why not a lady WoL using that base image? I did make a few adjustments (not so pale for one) but overall she's inspired by that image, as is some of her lore in regards to Ardbert and her own brother.

Her backstory IS set up so that if I ever DID RP her as an "Echo-having adventurer" in public RP, it all works just as well without the "specialness" of being The WoL, but my creative outlet is satisfied just writing and being totally in control of her story and development, creating her as able to stand on her own. Well, barring unexpected relationships, anyway.

My intent was to go through the MSQ again and see what an actual WoL, played fairly close to the game's assumption of a helpful, brave, eccentric, altruist would react like--not my own reactions, playing through it on RP characters who weren't actually the Hero themselves--and not have her be in a romance with any NPC cuz wouldn't that be different from so many WoLs I saw? I couldn't fathom OCNPC shipping anyway, it was a cute thing others did but not for me.

We all see how well that last part worked for me (Dammit Thancred), but it's turned out OK, I think.

So to summarize: I specifically built my characters so I could RP if I chose, but am also happy discovering their stories and personalities by writing fic on my own for them. My priorities and how I enjoy RP have shifted with time and life situations, preferring familiar, small closed groups over open world community RP. I'm lucky to have longtime RP groups I can indulge that hobby with, as well as a current adult life that lets me play and write as I like.

Sunny's bio

** A note ahead of time. She was named by people who couldn’t spell - I CAN spell, and am fully aware her name is spelled wrong. That’s a part of her story and is on purpose! (Blame her cousins, and Howard for not naming her.)**

FC: May vary, but this particular picture is Lara Robinson.

Fandom: Marvel.

Note: I am still working some things out on Sunny, so I am more than willing to bend her story as needed to fit with thread ideas! Also, as needed, some of her information may just be thread-dependant.

More information on her will come later on. <3

*******

Base information

Family:

Biological Father: Howard Stark.

Biological Mother: Maria Stark.

Sister-in-law: Pepper Potts.

Distant Cousins on Howard’s side & Sunny’s adopted parents: Hannah and George Henton.

Adopted elder sister: Daisy-Anne Henton.

Adopted elder brother: Samuel “Sammy” Lee Henton.

Her purpose intended by Howard:  Obsessed with finding Steve, Howard decided to take his own child and try to replicate the super-soldier serum; to make ‘an improved replacement’ for the hero that they lost…starting from birth.

Why?: Howard saw Sunny as a scientific project rather than a daughter, and did not plan to name her until he was sure if his project was a success or not.

What it means?: “New Captain America Replacement.” The 23 comes from the day she was born.

Name given to her later on: Sunshyne Amarillys Stark.

Pronunciation: ( Sun-shine Ah-MARY-liss St-arr-k )

Who gave it to her: She had no name originally, so her name was given to her by her cousin, who named her after the sunshine gold her hair was when she was little. However..he could not spell, so he only got to pick her first name.

Her nicknames: County Mouse, Kid Genius, Sunny. (Her preferred name.)

Gender: Female.

Age: “Are we speaking chronologically, biologically, how long I have been out of cryogenisis - or, are you inquiring about my mental or emotional growth?” *Her age is explained through her backstory.*

*******

Backstory

Pre-childhood:

Born when Tony was still pretty young, Sunny’s birth was kept a secret from the world. Written off and lied about as being a miscarriage, Sunny was actually taken from her mother in her father’s plans to make a back-up for Captain America - the man that he never truly gave up searching for, but eventually began making plans to replace.

During Maria’s pregnancy with Sunny, Howard had began his work on trying to duplicate the serum given to Steve. He had yet to finish or perfect it, however, when it came time for Maria to have her.

Coincidentally, she was born early. Further cramping the timeframe of which Howard had to work with. Planning for the “greater good” of society and the world as a whole, Howard took it upon himself to put Sunny in a cryogenic chamber for safe-keeping. Leaving her there with a computer hooked up to it to systematically feed her knowledge about the world as it was gained, and to give her what he had managed to put together of the super-soldier serum that had been given to Steve before most of the remaining few records of it even existing were mysteriously ‘lost,’ never to be recovered again.

Thinking that the cryogenisis chamber would aid in slowing the absorption of both the information and the serum down until it could actually be completed all the way, Howard left Sunny in the chamber to be raised at a later time.

Never revealing to Tony that he had a little sister that he was using as a lab rat - or that he even had another sibling to begin with. All memories and questions about his mother’s second pregnancy were shut down with frustration and anger - depending on how Howard was doing at the time with his pet project.

Unbeknownst to her father when he placed her in the chamber, Sunny had been born with mutant genes. Dormant genes that had yet to come to develop her powers; ones that would not only be influenced by his actions regarding her, but forever changed by them.

After Howard and Maria’s deaths, the records of Sunny and the project were shut down and put away for good. No one knew what to do with her; subsequently, she was left in the chamber and forgotten, where she was not found until much later, when a suspiciously caused power failure led to the malfunctioning and shutting down of her chamber. A curious janitor found her days afterwards, dehydrated and alone in the old area.

When her identity was discovered through analysis of her DNA - which showed only abnormalities in the infant child’s blood at the time, not what she truly was or had within her - and all attempts to reach Tony Stark himself about the baby were a bust, Sunny was given to another relative to be raised. A very distant cousin on Howard’s side, living out on an old ranch in the country.

Sunny was not discovered until the mid-to late summertime of 2002, after an aftershock from an earthquake shook up the oldest parts of the building where she was being kept, and the lower to the entire structure had to be rebooted. Found by a janitor who was looking for injured people and who had heard her crying, the search for who she was and where she belonged began.

***

Known childhood:

After the subsequent care had been taken of her and her blood had been drawn for a DNA analysis (though the results were odd and only her parentage could be discerned at the time) the hunt for her family began. Before placing her with anyone outside of their family, multiple attempts to contact her elder brother Tony were made. When this failed, other relatives were tried and exhausted. Many were ruled out to begin with because it was thought that they were not suitable, making the search for placement that much harder. Finally, right when they were about to seek a different kind of homing placement for her, a letter back was received.

Sunny was taken in by Howard’s very distant cousin Hannah, and her husband George. It took them awhile to settle on a name for her, or even to agree to take her in when they already had children of their own to take care of. But when the men in black suits (which raised quite a stir in their rural little community) came from SHIELD to bring her to them, they knew that they had to keep her.

The first few years of raising her, went by at a pace that Hannah and George did not expect. Since Sunny was so different from their own two children, they had a larger learning curve than most parents of an adopted cousin would.

At the age of two, Sunny was already talking better than the other two had. She got around without nearly as much trouble, and always seemed to either want to be starting at the window to watch stars at night, or at whatever screens were available to her. By the age of three, going on four, she had developed more of an interest in taking her toys apart and putting them back together again, than actually playing with them. Her free time, mostly spent in finding things she wasn’t supposed to be in and fixing them up nearly as good as new.

It was not until the age of six, however, that Sunny really got a lot more attention from anywhere outside of their little country haven. Since she only seemed to want to fix or build things when she was supposed to play outside, eventually the other kids got tired of having to watch her and they decided to take her back inside. Having meant to get her in trouble so that she would have to stay inside instead, the other kids waited until Sadie-May wasn’t around and took Sunny up to the attic to let her play with the old computer. Not thinking that she’d be able to do much with it, but knowing that none of them were supposed to be in the attic regardless, Sunny got left up there a lot in hopes that she’d get caught.

This was, however, not what got her noticed by the outside world. It was her ability to fix the computer up, to hotwire the internet for them by toying with cables, and what she did afterwards that truly earned her the unwanted attention that the two SHIELD agents had warned them about letting be on her.

At about six years old, the computer had to be moved downstairs so that the other kids, her cousins and those from nearby families, would stop leaving her upstairs. It was also around this time, that she found out for herself and made connections to things that she wasn’t supposed to be able to. With an abnormally high IQ that was only amplified by the testing done on her and the information being fed into her, Sunny continued on like this - not acting like any other child in the area. Or that any of them had ever heard of, either.

NWSL Challenge Cup Thoughts: Week 2, East

Current Standings:

North Carolina Courage: 3 pts

Orlando Pride: 1 pt (no tiebreak)

Washington Spirit: 1 pt (no tiebreak)

NY/NJ Gotham FC: 0 pts

Last Week's Games:

Pride vs. Spirit, 0-0:

For all that this game ended up scoreless, both teams created a few exciting chances. The Spirit came out ready to go in the first half, pressing forward and creating several good shots that were either close saves or just off target. Through the middle of the match, it became more physical, with both teams earning three yellow cards, and by the end the Pride had had several good chances of their own.

The strength of the Pride's front line surprised me, although maybe it shouldn't have - Darian Jenkins was very good for the Current last year whenever she was given minutes, and she has slotted in well with Marta and Syd Leroux. Although the Pride lost Ashlyn Harris to Gotham, I expect the Pride will be pretty satisfied with who they have back their anyway - Erin McLeod came up with a few crucial saves.

The forward line was pretty electric during the first part of the game, but as it wore on (and they shifted back to their more practiced style), it seemed like the communication between the attacking players deteriorated a bit - there were several passes forward that seemed to go way ahead of or way behind their intended target. The team's energy as a whole seemed to dip midway during the second half - later on, they did bring on several younger players, and of those I thought Gaby Vincent in particular reenergized the midfield when she came on.

Courage vs. Gotham, 2-0:

I don't think anyone saw this one coming - nor did anyone predict the lineup that the Courage came out with. While Gotham came out strong and had a decent shot within the first five minutes, it didn't take the Courage long to return to the dominant stance that they have taken over the last several seasons, and Gotham barely created any opportunities once the Courage had taken charge. Brianna Pinto (who had been drafted by Gotham last year) scored a header off of Carson Pickett's cross about twenty minutes into the game, and Abby Erceg made it two a few minutes into the second half.

The Courage came out with a somewhat baffling lineup - listing six or seven players most often used as defenders. They ended up using Jaelene Daniels (traditionally a left back) and Taylor Smith (who has played both at outside back and at forward) as a front two ahead of Debinha and Pinto. They also had Denise O'Sullivan back, after leaving her off their final pre-season roster noting that she was "unavailable" - she was crucial for them in terms of stopping almost all of Gotham's attempts to attack through the middle before they even got started.

For Gotham...I don't really know where to start with this lineup. Maybe it would have worked better if Camryn Tucker had had any preseason opportunities to get her legs under her, and almost certainly it would have worked better if Kristie Mewis and Ify Onumonu had been available, but it really showcased how imbalanced Gotham's roster is in a lot of ways. In particular, they have more wide players (and particularly left-sided players - it actually could have been much worse if Midge Purce or Caprice Dydasco were out) than they need, and not enough natural central players; they also have several defensively-minded midfielders, and not enough attacking midfielders - and they seemed to try to solve both of these issues by fitting Naho Kawasumi, who usually plays on the left either in the midfield or attack, in at the top of a midfield diamond. While Kawasumi is a fantastic technical player, she is also 36 years old and has lost a bit of the pace needed in that role. Hopefully Mewis can make up for some of that, and Onumonu can release some of the other formational pressure, but it isn't promising that their entire structure seems to depend on two or three players.

This Week's Games:

Spirit vs. Gotham (7:30, 3/25):

The Spirit are missing a few big pieces that they had available last week in Dorian Bailey and Emily Sonnet, while it seems that Gotham will have both Mewis and Onumonu available after they sat out last week. With Sonnet definitely out, I wouldn't be surprised if the Spirit takes the opportunity to switch out a few more of their players with newer or younger ones as well to give them some practice for when the internationals are gone.

Regardless of how many changes the Spirit make to their starting lineup, assuming Mewis and Onumonu are actually fit to play (and especially if one or both is fit to start), I'm giving this one to Gotham, maybe 2-1. Segra field is historically a bad field for the Spirit to play on, and is probably more suited to Gotham's style.

Courage vs. Pride (7:00, 3/26):

No injury reports out yet, but assuming both teams have the same players available that they did last week, I'm going to give this a draw - maybe 1-1.

I think the Pride's midfield is going to put up more of a challenge for the Courage than Gotham's did, and the Pride came very close to scoring against one of the strongest defensive lines in the league last week, and with that little bit of early-season experience under their belts, I think this time they will manage to convert at least once.

Just curious, in your newest Casey x Tobias smut fic, why does Tobias have blue-green eyes? Aren't his eyes ambery and hazel? No hate intended! Pure curiosity! 😁😁

It just felt more like it was a Jackson Avery x Casey fic just when I read that. Not that I'm suddenly opposed to that because Jesse Williams is just yummy.

Hey there! I did that solely because I'm using the colors of my face claim's eyes. I do the same with Casey, though her eyes are green in canon, my FC's are blue, so my character's eyes are blue. I don't judge/fault other writers for doing it differently, each has to do what works best for them. But when I first started reading FF sometimes I'd see all these photos of an FC and they didn't match the details in the story and it felt odd to me, so I went a different route. Now, here is the funny part. IRL I am obsessed with Jesse Williams, but I have seen exactly ONE episode of him in GA. Grey's just wasn't my thing after the first couple of seasons. I swore I'd catch up during the lockdown, I never did, but I still hope to. So my obsession with Jesse has more to do with his other roles, but most of all because I'm very familiar with the activism work he has done and THAT impresses the F out of me. And he ain't hard to look at. :) I'm going to see him on Broadway next year. I hope you enjoy my writing until that time because I assure you. I may just die. LMAO :) Thanks for the ask!

TRIGGER WARNING MENTIONS OF PARENTAL ABUSE, EATING DISORDERS, ALCOHOLISM,  DRUG ABUSE AND SELF HARM 

Lacey Sage Puckerman is the only daughter of two army soldiers Noah and Carrie Puckerman. The pair met only a year before Lacey was born at basic training in Virgina and it was instant love, they had Lacey together and then when Lacey was two weeks old they went to the chapel that was on their base and got married in front of all their colleagues and friends. The pair were in love and they worked well together. Lacey’s life was pure bliss for the first five years, she had her loving mother who took a leave from the army to raise her for the first years of her life and her father who wasn’t overly affectionate, but he wasn’t’ the worst. Lacey was a happy small child with both of her parents around, they lived on a military base so there were always kids around for her to play with and Lacey had a lot of friends. But then everything changed. When Lacey was five and a half her mother passed away after suffering from a massive heart attack. There were no signs, no symptoms, nothing that could have given them a hit of what was going to happen to Lacey’s mother

After her mom died Lacey was devastated. She spent all day sobbing in her room, snuggling all of her stuffed animals while her dad was in the living room drowning his sorrows in beer. Puck took off from work for a few months after Carrie’s death to take care of Lacey, but he wasn’t the best caregiver for the little girl. He ignored her most of the day and she was left to fend for herself. Her only escape was going to school where all of her friends were. Lacey knew what depression was from an early age, after the death of her mother she never recovered from losing the only form of love she had ever known. Only a year after Lacey’s mother’s death Puck got transferred to a base in New York and they move. Lacey’s depression got worse; she didn’t have her mom, she didn’t have her friends and now she didn’t even have her childhood house. She felt like her life was out of her hands, she had no say as to what happened to her or where she went. She felt useless and like nobody cared about her. Her dad was always working, so she was always home, alone, fending for herself. When Lacey was twelve she started to hate herself above all, she just wanted to die. Her life wasn’t her’s and there was no point for her to be alive anymore. She started to self harm to cope with the intense feelings she felt daily. It started out with burning herself with erasers, but escalated quickly to burning herself with a lighter and cutting on her legs where she could easily hide the scars. Self harm helped Lacey cope with the world that she couldn’t control that was around her. After a while self harm wasn’t enough for Lacey to cope with the self hatred and hatred for the world that she felt

Shorty after they moved to New York, Puck started dating Shelby and while Shelby was a great woman and mom, Lacey was furious. She felt like her dad was trying to replace her mom and he never paid any attention to her, but now he was paying all the attention he had to Shelby, but there was one good thing Lacey got out of Shelby and Puck’s relationship; she got her sister Sable. Sable was the first person to show her love the way that her mother did. Lacey felt safe, loved and hopeful when she was with Sable. Lacey was very close to her new older sister and absolutely devastated when she left for college, but Lacey didn’t tell her because she didn’t want to guilt her out of getting an education.

With Sable away in school, Lacey felt alone again. Sure they would text, talk on the phone and even facetime sometimes, but it wasn’t the same. During that time was when Lacey discovered Astrology. She had always known that she was an Aquarius, but studying out the rest of her birth chart helped her feel at peace with everything that’s happened to her. She learned all about her personal planets placements, she started learning about astrology as a whole and took classes online to become a certified astrologer. Astrology gave her hope and faith, she started to realize that nothing in the world was accidental and everything had a purpose in the grand scheme of things.

A couple of years after Puck and Shelby got married her father was deployed to serve in the army. He wasn’t gone for long when she got the news that her father was killed in battle. Even though she and her father weren’t close Lacey was hurt, she didn't’ understand why she had to lose not one, but both of her parents. After Puck’s death the nightmares started, she would dream about something terrible every night and usually woke up in a cold sweat or screaming. Shelby was good at helping Lacey through her night terrors, but Lacey still didn’t trust her completely. She always felt like Shelby didn’t like her as much as she liked her kids, which wasn’t true, but Lacey believed the lies her mind told her. Shortly after her father’s death Sable came back to New York which helped Lacey cope and she didn’t feel as alone.

Now, Lacey lives with her older sister Sable in an apartment in the city. Lacey is now a professional astrologer does astrology readings for money, but it’s not enough for her to help pay with rent so she has a part time job at the local health food store as a cashier. All of the negative behaviors Lacey had from her past stayed with her into adulthood, she was still self harming, restricting her eating and having nightmares. Lacey doesn’t know how to deal with all of the emotions that she keeps bottled up inside of her and she’s always waiting for something tragic to happen to her again. She lives in a constant state of fear and depression, but tries not it show it to the world, the only person that has ever seen the real Lacey is Sable and she intends to keep it that way.
