“look what you made me do”

stalker jungwon part 2

adult content featured

yes there will be a part 3

you awoke with a startle after a nightmare. you sat up quickly on the bed that you were tucked into, the windows covered by thick curtains.

you looked around quietly, swallowing air, as you tried to remember what happened.

blood. chipper. maya.

shoot! when you removed the comforter from your legs and went to move off the bed and stand, you fell to the hardwood floor below.

“ouch!” you screamed in agony, tears coming to your eyes as you hugged your leg in pain.

you forgot all about the bear trap around your leg.

with a thud, jungwon came running up the stairs and threw the door open to the bedroom, a look of panic on his face.

he had originally been watching you through the nanny cam, but went outside to handle some business. he came back in and heard you cry out.

“hey, you’re okay!” he rushed to your side, helping you up gently, lying you back on the bed.

you sniffled, and your eyes went wide noticing the blood on his neck. “stay away from me, you, you freak!” you yelled, trying your best to scoot away.

jungwon wasn’t fazed nor was he mad. you were traumatized and he was slightly to be blamed for it. his smile faded to a thin line, eyes of worry focused on you.

all you could think of was poor maya in the wood chipper, asa and danielle hanging in the barn. if that was even still the case.

“what did you do to them?” you silently sniffled, trying to hold sobs.

jungwon bit is lower lip, “do you mean asa and danielle?”

you nodded slowly. jungwon hesitated to tell you. but he kept it simple with the truth. “they’re alive.”

you sucked in a breath. could you believe him? “how do i know you’re not lying?”

“i can show you.” he replied. you thought about it. could you stomach the way they looked? you barely could stay awake when the trap got you.

“why are you doing this?” you whispered so softly, he barely heard you.

jungwon went to tuck a piece of hair behind your ear, it caught you off guard, you flinched. he slowly put his hand down with a frown.

“why the blanket? how did you get those pictures of me?” you continued. the blanket he covered you with before he snatched you.

pictures of you at work. in public. in your apartment. naked.

“you can guess how i got those pictures, squid.”

squid. why did that name—nickname—sound so familiar? jungwon noticed your body react to the nickname he gave you when you were close. before your accident and losing your memory.

“have you been stalking me? us.” jungwon nodded, unashamed. “why, jungwon? i—i understand how we treated you in high school was so bad—and i’m genuinely sorry for it—,”

“let’s not talk about that, right now.” jungwon cut you off immediately, his tone and mood changing.

“what did we do so bad that made you want to stalk and kill us?”

jungwon hurriedly stood up and started pacing. it really wasn’t you. or even asa. little less danielle. maya and kelly were originally his main targets.

“you three never knew the torture i went through with maya and kelly.” jungwon says, running a hand through his hair. “it wasn’t just the teasing from all of you. kelly and maya deserved what they got. to be honest, they got off easy in my opinion.”

“jungwon, what did they do to you?”

“not now squid.”

“why do you call me squid?”

“it doesn’t sound familiar? like at all?” jungwon stopped pacing to look at you with hope in his eyes.

you shrugged. “it triggered something through me, but no, not really.”

“are you hungry? i can make you food.” jungwon changed the subject. before you could decline that you weren’t hungry, your stomach betrayed you and rumbled.

“oh, um, sure.” you nodded, unsure how you’d even be able to get up at this point. you could barely stand up on your own, let alone run away from this psycho.

“i’ll bring you breakfast in bed. you need to rest that leg. when i got you, the trap was pretty deep and the wounds don’t look good under the bandages.”

jungwon walked towards the bedroom door, and you noticed a dog sitting there waiting for him. you smiled unknowing at the dog, just happy to see something alive other than jungwon.

your thoughts were clouded from the night beforehand. he really killed maya. was he going to kill danielle and asa next? what about you? you had to stay alive. you were going to fight to stay alive so you could get help.

what did maya and kelly do so bad to fuck jungwon up like this?

footsteps padded against the hardwood, jungwon coming in with a plate of breakfast. your favorite breakfast.

he placed it in front of you slowly, you picked up the fork and slowly took a bite, moaning in relief at how good it tasted.

jungwon swallowed, his adams apple bobbing up and down at hearing you moan.

no. he wasn’t going to that to you. with you. not now. the pictures and videos he had were enough to help him rub one out when needed.

“uh, jungwon, this is really good. thank you.” you politely replied with a nod.

jungwon took a seat at the edge of the bed and stared at you while you ate. “do you really not get any type of memory from the nickname squid?”

you shook your head at him. “enlighten me.”

“i don’t want to freak you out.”

you snorted. “you stalked and kidnapped me and and my friends. killed one of my friends in front of me, jungwon.”

jungwon laughed softly. “guess you have a point.”

“just tell me why do you call me squid?”

“because when we were younger you got inked on by one, and ever since then you never liked them.”

“younger?”

jungwon sighed, “that’s enough trip down memory lane for now. finish eating.”

“will you take me to go see asa and danielle?”

“only if you promise not to throw up.”

about an hour later you had finished eating, and was prepared to go out. jungwon helped you walk down the steps, outside. you went slowly, but jungwon seem to not mind.

when you got to the barn, your heart sank in pure anxiety of what you may see in front of you.

jungwon, face plain of any emotion, opened the barn door and helped you hobble in there.

thankfully asa and danielle were no longer dangling from the ceiling chains, but rather seated in hay and chained to poles beside them.

both were left in the undergarments, and you knew they had to be cold. they hadn’t moved when you two came in.

“i gave them something to help them sleep. rest.” jungwon stated. “they’ll need their energy.”

“why?” you whispered out.

“it’s hunting season.”

you turned to look at jungwon with pure disgust. “please, jungwon, just let them go.”

jungwon’s lips went in a thin line as he stared at you. “why should i?”

“maya and kelly were your main targets, okay? the rest of us learned our lesson. just please let them be.”

“i’ll have to ask my coworkers.”

“coworkers?”

jungwon nodded. “ni-ki and kai. need to make sure they’re okay with it too.”

“it was all three of you?”

“mainly me, but they helped.” jungwon stated.

you looked at him in disbelief. “i’ll do anything if you just let them go. please.” you begged.

“i’ll think about it.” jungwon said before turning around walking back to the house. he left you to hobble behind him slowly, your leg still in pain from the trap.

you got to the porch steps, jungwon held the door open for you. “actually fuck this!” you snapped. “tell me right fucking now why you are doing this!”

jungwon laughed. “or what?”

you looked around the yard, and saw a big rock. you leaned down carefully to pick it up.

“what? you’re gonna throw it at me? try to kill me with it?” he taunted.

“no. i’ll bash my own head in!” you yelled, ready to drop the rock on your head as you held it above.

jungwon ran as fast as he could down the steps and tackled you to the ground, making the rock fall out of your hands.

little did he know, there was another big rock behind you. so when you fell, your head landed on the rock, instantly knocking you unconscious.

“no, no, no! wake up!” jungwon pleaded, trying to shake you awake. blood covered his hands from the back of your head. “no, you can’t do this. i can’t lose you again.”

he cried holding you close. jungwon quickly picked you up and ran to his truck, putting you in to drive you to the emergency room.

while the doctors worked on you, he had texted ni-ki and kai who were actually visiting in town, and asked them to clean up the barn mess. no other text was sent or explanation needed.

he couldn’t say too much and incriminate himself or them. they texted back with a simple ‘ok’ and ‘no problem.’

“mr yang?” jungwon stood up when the nurse called his name.

she smiled. “your wife is doing great. a little drowsy and confused, but she’s awake and alert, and the doctor is with her. follow me.”

you two weren’t married. but they didn’t need to know that. they didn’t ask for a marriage license or proof. jungwon just knew he had to be the one only to know about your condition.

he walked into the hospital room you were in, the doctor finishing flashing the light in your eye. your eyes went wide seeing jungwon, but you stayed silent, fear in your eyes and body.

“hello mr. yang.” the doctor greeted. “mrs yang, your husband has been so worried about you!”

the doctor and other medical staff left the room, leaving you and jungwon.

“wi—wife?” you stumbled out.

“you say anything else, and i will make sure you never see outside again.” jungwon threatened.

you hung your head in silence, twiddling your thumbs, afraid to say anything further.

jungwon spoke, “they said you hit your head pretty hard but you should be okay. you’ll be here for a while as they keep an eye on you. and i’ll be right by your side.”

you kept silent. you got comfortable in the hospital bed, pulling the blanket up to your chin, your back facing jungwon.

this seemed to be a nightmare that would never end.

Match Review: Manchester United Women 1-1 Arsenal Women

Well done, Skinner. You woke Arsenal back up. For fuck sake.

Arsenal with Jonas were shit. Arsenal post-Jonas have looked a little lost. You always step up against bigger opposition due to the fear of getting humbled, but Arsenal looked really sharp today.

Their passing was better, more inventive, of greater accuracy. Their movement was sharper, their duelling was better timed and more productive.

Their diligence and quality was rewarded with a goal by no other than ex-United forward Alessia Russo, with a cute finish that surprised Phallon Tullis-Joyce to give Arsenal the lead in the 63rd minute.

PTJ did have a very good game though, as did Maya Le Tissier and Millie Turner at CB. Gabby George and Aoife Mannion were solid enough, but United did look better with sub Jayde Riviere on.

Janssen was assured as ever in CDM, whilst Lisa Naalsund was a little off-the-boil today. Simi Awujo was an upgrade at half time when Naalsund went off injured, but it begged the question why no start when Arsenal are known for being a little more athletic and pressing than United. The same can be said for the usage or lack of re: Hayley Ladd - another solid DM.

United's issue was in attack though. Celin Bizet looked sharp and had a lot of the ball, but that made her an obvious double-up target and limited her impact. Grace Clinton was wasteful in CAM but also keenly pressed, and Ella Toone ineffective at LW.

A second-half positional swap for the two didn't achieve a lot, but the subs of Malard for Toone, Geyse for Bizet, and Williams for Terland did. Good decisions. Skinner isn't entirely useless, and Malard/Geyse were exceptional from when they came on. Very active, driving at Arsenal with intent... it was nice to see the fear flipped.

The problem is that things like Malard on the left... they're obvious. She's far more comfortable on the left, like the injured Leah Galton, than Toone/Clinton. This comfort makes a player a threat, and that makes Arsenal respect the player and press them. That buys others time and space. Clinton and Bizet are in great form, yet today they looked tame.

Based on the Arsenal press, it was incredibly stupid not to utilise Hinata Miyazawa also. Personally I'd have started her over Tooney, who I feel has been okay but not great, and given her recent bereavement... I get wanting to play and to keep busy, but form comes first. Miyazawa has looked great whenever she has featured this season. We cannot waste her like Irene Guerrero, and she's INCREDIBLY PRESS-RESISTANT. Handy versus notorious pressers Arsenal...

All of the above also limited the impact of Elisabeth Terland too, but luckily we have the guile of Rachel Williams on the bench, and the central preference of Melvine Malard that helps her be a double threat from LW and going beyond Rach.

Speaking of Millie, she won both the Player of the Match award for her stoic defending and was given a commemorative shirt for her 150th United appearance - seen here with partner Lisa Naalsund and the rest of her family.

Both teams will feel hard done by with just a point, but oh well. Better than a defeat.

Next up is a lovely 6:45pm SUNDAY fixture against Aston Villa at the LSV. A very winnable game, but wtf is that timing? Ew.

[degrassi-fandom-confessions]

Cam’s storyline is one of the best Degrassi ever did. Subsequently how it affected Maya for so many years after was also executed really well

[maya-matlin]

What would you highlight as key similarities and also a few major differences between our beloved Maya and Haley James Scott?!

Okay, I'll have to think about this one. Even though I've always felt their characters were similar, I never thought to break down the similarities and differences.

To start with, both Haley and Maya are passionate about their music. Both view it as one of their life's greatest ambitions. Ultimately, I think Maya's more ambitious than Haley. Or at the least, she has and had different priorities. Before Haley was able to seriously think about pursuing a musical career, she'd married Nathan. Based on that alone as well as inexperienced teens trying to play at being an adult married couple, there were automatically different expectations for what Haley should do and how she should go about it. Maya had no such limitations. While Maya sometimes tried and failed to put her music first, typically allowing boy drama to get in the way, she never stopped trying to make her music happen. In some ways, the Nathan/Haley/Chris and Zig/Maya/Jonah situations parallels, albeit with some differences. Chris was actually interested in Haley (actually in love with her if you believe what Dan says in season 9) and kissed her multiple times, which Haley returned. Although Jonah was very sketchy around Maya and seemed insulted by Zig's mere presence, he never showed any concrete signs of liking Maya, instead going for Frankie. But both Zig and Nathan at least believed these guys were threats to their relationship, attempting to step in and assert themselves. Nathan physically threatened Chris while Zig attempted to lock down his sexual relationship with Maya so that she wouldn't "look elsewhere". The girls' musical ambitions indirectly tore apart their relationships. But due to Zig objectively being far more to blame for his relationship with Maya falling apart in contrast to everything being very grey where Naley were concerned, Maya remains guilt free about putting her music first, never wavering from that. Haley, on the other hand, felt a great deal of guilt for hurting Nathan and for the tour, later downplaying her love for music multiple times, constantly feeling the need to reiterate that her musical career was nothing compared to her love for Nathan. As Maya and Haley look towards their futures after high school, their priorities are once again different. Even before Haley got pregnant, she was prepared to give up the school she'd wanted to attend since she was a kid just to follow Nathan. Maya thought only of herself. Though, Maya was single at the time and had no reason to believe Zig was going to be a possibility again, even if he did get into university. Regardless, I feel confident that Maya wouldn't have attended a lesser school just to be with Zig.

Personality wise, they're pretty similar. Both are wise, sometimes bordering on judgmental, believing that they know what's best for their friends and loved ones. Both are often the moral centers of their friend groups. Both are the younger siblings of older sisters who screwed up their own lives in some way. But while Taylor was more of a party girl and the type to sleep around (nothing wrong with it - it's just the way she was portrayed), Katie held herself to very high standards and eventually crumbled at the first hint of imperfection and a real challenge. In that way, Haley and Katie are probably more alike considering how laidback Maya is the majority of the time. Both Haley and Maya are friendly and supportive towards everyone in their lives. Maya and Haley experience occasional bouts of anxiety. Maya's feels more like a combination of social awkwardness and a direct result of her PTSD over losing Cam. Haley's is more general, in my opinion. It took her longer to become comfortable performing, even in season 6 after she's gone on tour. Maya seems pretty fearless in this way. Both have a thing for "saving" troubled men (Haley with Nathan, Maya with Zig and Miles). But while Haley seems very hesitant to rebel and attempts to hold herself to an unreasonable standard, Maya is pretty comfortable pushing the boundaries of who she is as a person. It's a pretty big deal for Haley to get drunk during the school day. But if Maya decides she wants to pop molly like it's nothing, why not? She's at a party, and she wants to feel closer to her boyfriend. Even before losing her virginity, Maya is comfortable expressing her sexuality. She writes about desiring to do more than talk with her boyfriends in multiple songs (Actions Speak Louder Than Words, Unravel Me, Wanna Get Off). Whereas Haley is very stuck on wanting sex to be something magical and meaningful, I don't think Maya has the same reservations. She wants her first time to mean something ("I sort of wish my first time wasn't high, you know?"), but I don't think she needs anything specific or necessarily a big commitment outside of being in a monogamous relationship to feel ready to take that step.

Then obviously, both girls eventually develop depression and suffer from suicidal ideation, going as far as attempting it or coming close multiple times. Following the death of Haley's mother, she's despondent. Though Haley's closeness with her family members was rarely ever touched on following them literally packing up and moving away the instant Haley's marriage license was dry, apparently Lydia was a constant in Haley's life that she could turn to for advice and emotional support. She has no idea what to do with herself without her mother. Haley's depression manifests in sadness, which we see when she breaks down sobbing alone. We also see Haley becoming angry and feeling numb, unable to care that she's neglecting the people and things in her life. Only Haley snapping at Jamie is able to briefly break her out of this. Still, Haley has Nathan and a support system willing to stick with her through all of this. Maya doesn't. This is a good example of One Tree Hill and Degrassi being very different shows. Not only that, but Degrassi depicts teenagers pretty realistically. By this point in OTH's run, the characters are adults and have a better grasp on how to handle something like this. On Degrassi, all of Maya's warning signs are either misinterpreted, missed completely, or kind of unable to be followed up on due to things like Maya kissing Zig while he has a girlfriend. So, Maya is much more alone than Haley was, with only Saad as a true companion. But even he doesn't fully understand the extent of Maya's pain and suffering. The majority of her depression manifests itself in numbness with her struggling to enjoy even the smallest things. Like Haley, Maya no longer feels like her old self. Her years of burying her grief over Cam and constantly being shat on by life itself, this time temporarily losing even her musical outlet when she breaks her wrist, has left Maya in a dark place. She questions her own existence, wondering why she gets to live, blaming herself for other people's misery. Maya clearly thinks she's cursed. Eventually, both girls attempt suicide, no longer able to take the pain. Haley is rescued by Nathan while Maya is saved by Zig and Esme. Both recover in time. Honestly, the follow up to both arcs could have been better, but things like Haley's pregnancy and Maya preparing to graduate high school obviously took precedence. Interestingly, Haley is never shown to return to pursuing music after this while Maya only reaffirms that a musical career is indeed what she wants.

Anyways, I feel like this was all over the place. So sorry about that!

Edit: I'm so annoyed with myself, but I won't be able to let it go until I also acknowledge Maya's and Haley's respective "not like other girls" issues. Both made comments alluding to looking down on cheerleaders and more popular girls. Though, both seem to identify as feminists. Maya actively seems to unlearn this trait, spending the rest of her time on the show lifting other girls up. Haley continues to perpetuate this from time to time, mostly because the showrunner was a controlling, toxic, sexual harasser who hated women.

[purplerakath]

Degrassi - I considered letting this slide, but...

Turns out I am not strong enough to do that. But the original poster just doesn't actually analyze shows so they probably just... missed it.

So this? This requires some context to explain, and also some nuance to explore.

Context to Explain

So early in the show's life (early in Next Generation anyway), there was a network mandate about plots lingering. If a character struggled with anything, it could only last the length of the episode it was in. This doesn't apply to changes in character status (Jimmy isn't getting out of that chair) or relationships (break ups are want to happen). But if someone has a drinking problem, or a drug problem, or an eating disorder, the network mandated that the plot couldn't resurface later.

If the plot was alluded to, the character has to have still 'beaten' that thing they should be struggling with. To that end, that makes grief a really hard thing to write, if there's a pre-written mandate the character can't struggle. This rule was in place through season 9. Which covers the deaths of Craig's dad, Rick, and J.T.

Nuance to Explore

So that leaves us with Cam and Adam. Which are both grief plots the show DID explore (maybe not as much as they should have, but we can't argue they didn't touch it). Drew spends the second part of Season 13 incredibly messed up over his brother's death, unable to sleep because of nightmares and overusing sleeping pills to cover for it.

Drew is a whole disaster for this period. Becky, the other major character touched by this plot, is clearly shattering under trying so hard not to shatter. Becky's defining trait is being bubbly and happy and Christian and none of that is doing her any good.

And connected to this we get Imogen and Becky's friendship, which is built off of Imogen struggling under how to be kind to Becky, and how to be honest, based on what Imogen knows about Adam's last day.

Now, could the show have gone deeper on either of them? Yes. Could the show have put more focus on Clare, Imogen, or Dallas's reactions? Yes. But the show is also trying to juggle a lot of things at once, so they kept it to the characters this touches most.

Maya gets a Whole Section

Maya doesn't get an episode processing her grief, because Maya's character is 'I have not properly resolved all of my grief and I have become a walking compulsive thought factory certain everyone I know and love will die if I don't personally save them.

Maya is, without a doubt, where this poster is flat. out. wrong.

Maya attempts to put what happened to Cam out of her mind by forcing happiness (like Becky) but in all the least healthy ways. She blames Cam for dying, she goes to parties, drinks, makes out with random people, posts vidoes of it on the internet. And doesn't want to talk about why she's like this because she is. not. dealing.

And then in the next season Tristan runs away in France and Maya's immediate thought is he's going to be dead in a ditch by the end of the day and it's all her fault. But I'm sure that's not a greater pattern. So anyway she finds out Zig is homeless and she's afraid he'll be knifed in an alley and it's all her fault. I mean, sure, it happened twice-

So Miles is doing a lot more weed and skipping school so she's sure he's going to kill himself while she's not around.

Do you see the pattern yet? Maya Matlin's every action starting from Season 13 ep 1, through to the end of the series, is built on Cam's death. She's terrified it'll happen again, she's sure she could have done more for Cam, and she's sure all of this is on her.

That is, without a doubt, some handling their grief badly.

What Degrassi doesn't show is a character being mopey and sad for a month in the aftermath, what we get is dysfunctional basketcases self destructing over time in ways that are clearly rooted in a trauma they haven't fully put to bed.

[larryspinkplanet28]

all the men accused in the industry had bots defending them, liam is the only one who didnt. Instead there are bots every time kate's face is shown in videos and pictures. Why we dont get these bots when we are posting #justiceforliam? other celebs had them. All the men accused with a campaign defending them were proven guilty, maya didnt even start a court case she just accused him on tiktok, how is that even legal? by legal terms that is defamation and hate speech. how can you just accuse someone without proofs and on tiktok, without having a court case? and i remind you that, she comes from a family of rich lawyers who are famous for organizing the most expensive party of maya's quinceañera, so she's not a vulnerable women with no support system or money. She also sent liam a cease and desist but then she asked him why are you silent? Her book even starts with: nobody will believe you cos i'm famous, the same book she said at 1st was fiction, then said it was based on her and liam. That in itself is a red flag and a clear proof she used the fandom to manipulate them against him, even paid fans to fake texts messages, when we got to know he didnt even hv access to his phone. so much so, he doesnt even know spanish, but sent text msgs to sex workers in spanish? and then in broken english? apart numerous other inconstancies that the media keeps on feeding us, we dont know the real age of maya, the info keeps changing, yet it's liam who is blamed for dating a minor, if that was the case arent the parents to blame? under 18 ur under parents custody, if they let her date him, it's on them, we got to know tnx to Blake lively's scandal, that smear campaigns exist for real. smtg that this fandom has spoken abt for yrs, so what makes u think that, liam wasnt a victim of a smear campaign? we're the twitter users r the only ones spkg abt this. and if u want to go for the drugs narrative, instead of shitting on him for it, why dont u ask, y he did them in 1st place? meanwhile kate and maya also did drugs and alcohol, but u dont judge them cos they r women you wet your panties for, but if it's liam u hate on him? so much so, that your lovely maya is posting vids of her drinking alcohol on cam but u wont call her an alcoholic cos she is a woman ''blah blah misogyny, blah blah'' cry me a river, she is not a victim, liam is. johnny D was also a coke user, yet u didnt judge him when u were hashtagging justiceforjohnnydepp bc at the time u said, js cos he was a coke user it doesnt mean he was an abuser, and yet u use that against liam, bc u love to hate him. there is a lot to say, but i'll stop here for now.

Hi there! Could I get Campbell Saunders x gem reader headcanons where instead of getting back with Maya after she kisses Zig, he breaks up with her officially and he gets with the reader instead and they’re just super fluffy and maybe she helps him with his mental health? She encourages him to quit hockey since it’s making him unhappy and to instead play basketball since he liked it. Just an overview of them having an actual overview of their supportive and loving relationship! Thank you — 🪼🫧✨

Hello there! And of course you can! I must say, I paused re-watching Degrassi so I could be a bit rusty in Campbells Character. Please have mercy with me! >~< Fandom: Degrassi Characters: Campbell Saunders, Reader, Mentions of Maya and Zig Warnings: Mention of mental health issues, a bit swearing and angst, fluuuff~

Cam was SO disappointed in Maya, when she told him that she kissed Zig but he felt like he couldn't really be mad at her, seeing how he behaved before.

good thing, his best friend was next to him and went off on Maya for him.

"Cam may could have behaved differently, that is right, but you! You kissed someone else! That is cheating plus it was your best friends boyfriend?! Who does that?! Cam has every fucking right to be disappointed!" Said boy was flabbergasted at the outbreak of his best friend. Not only him but all present people. He let himself get dragged away from the Scene, Maya calling out to him but Cam didn't hear it.

It took a long and intense talk and many snacks with Cam to assure him it is okay to feel how he does right now

He wanted to reconcile with Maya at first but the conversation with you made him reconsider, thinking that maybe it was better to not go back.

Maya tried to win him back for a few weeks with Zig trying to get her all the while Tori was furious wit both of them

In the meantime, you and Cam got even closer then before as in, the shy boy actually got every ounce of bravery together to ask you out! Of course you said yes, duh!

Cam waspacing the hallway up and down, mumbling something under his breath while Tori watched him doing so. "Just...do it! I bet you won't get rejected!" His steps came to a stop and he looked at Tori with an incredulous look. The boy was nervous, more nervous than he was before any Hockey game. "But...what if I do get rejected? I would destroy or friendship! Maybe we won't ever talk again and" "Aaallright. Stop! This won't happen. I am absolutely sure about that!" "You are sure about what?" Cam spinned around so fast he almost tripped over his own feat when you popped up behind them both. "Nothing!" Tori rolled her eyes befor giving Cam a soft nudge with an encouragin smile before she said goodbye and left. You thought it was weird how she just left. "I am sorry, did I interrupted-" "Wilyougooutwithme?!" You blinked slowly, once, twice. Trying to process what Cam asked you before your cheeks started to get warmer. The hockeyplayer was almost sure you would reject him efore you smiled brightly at him. "Of course!" A weight was lifted from Cams heart and the boy smiled as brightly as you.

Cam started to open up to you and you realised the boy has problems that should be taken serious

So you started to actively help Cam an you started by getting him out of this damn Hockey Team that was everthing that good for him

"I can't! They need me and you know that! I am the best player on the team!" A sigh left your lips at how stubborn Cam was. He was indeed right but you can see how bad it was for him. "I know and you are! But Cam, these people aren't good for you! Look at how they are! You aren't like that! You are so much better than these Jerks!" Cam opens his mouth as if wanting to say something but nothing came out. He was defeated, easily by you. He coulder never go against you even less when you take his hand in yours and look at him with those lovely eyes of yours. Oh shoot! He is starring again!

It was hard, at the beginning to not be the perfect Cam anymore. To no be a member of the Hockey Players and all but you could easily see how much better off Cam was.

Cam was still a bit awkward but he cheered up so much without the his Teammates pressuring him and all that.

His mental health was, of course, not magically cured and the problems are still there but it was hard for Cam to come to terms that he was, in fact, not healthy.

You had many conversations with him about his mental health. You are no doctor so you can't say for sure what is wrong but you know there was something.

Cam didn't liked to talk about it and at first he sometimes blocked conversation fully.

But you still stayed at his side and encouraged him to try out therapy.

Cam was so scared. He was glad when you offered to accompany him.

You not only brought him there, he wanted you to sit with in. Seeing that you are his biggest support he really needed you there.

He hold your hand so tightly, he apologized afterwards for it.

Cam is so gratefull for you, in everyway.

You helped him get out of the Hockey team, supporte him from start to now with his journey on getting better with his mental health, you have so much patience and what not. He could talk about you from dawn to dusk. In short, he loves you much more than anyone else.

I hope you like it!

Word to the wise

TIME: September 26th, 2024 PLACE: The Union Bluff Hotel BETWEEN: Cameron ( @cameronslaw ), Warren & Freddie ( @frederickkatz ) NOTES: Written on Discord.

Warren wasn’t unaware of the energy of certain fae who had been coming and going into his hotel.  Or how said fae had ruined one of his very expensive couches his little brother had already paid for. But he had figured it was a very casual thing. Something like what he used to have with Maya at first. That’s why he was surprised to find the fae in front of him when the elevator opened. He arched a brow and huffed, “Are you just leaving Freddie’s suite?” he asked with a serious and confused tone, not moving aside to give the other space to walk out.

Cameron was happy but annoyed. Happy because, yes, his legs are still a bit wobbly if he doesn't focus on them, and yes, his wrists still have some bruises, which all in all means last night was great, but he wasn't where he wanted to be. No, because he had very clear plans on wrapping himself like a vine around Freddie's frame, maybe let him leave to get them breakfast and then sneak a second (third?) round before he got ready to leave, but Freddie had other plans. An important meeting or something, he said when he rushed Cam out of the door. The joke was on him, though; his shirt was inside Cameron's overnight bag.

He was caught off guard, though, when a wall of a man radiating power talked to him without even a greeting. "Uh... Yes?" Cam tried to step out of the elevator but was unable to do so. "I don't know? Was I not supposed to be?"

Warren didn't change his serious expression as the fae made the question, "Probably not because that means that idiot is gonna be late for our meeting," he said, rolling his eyes, "so you are the fae who's risking to setting my hotel on fired for my little brother's whim uh?" He asked with a little smirk as he offered his hand, "I'm Warren," he said, still not letting the fae out of the elevator, "Are you in a hurry? Cause since you made my brother late, the least you could do would be join me for a cup of coffee," he pointed.

"Oh, so you're the one he's meeting, huh. I think he might've... lost track of time." he shrugged with a tiny smirk, though his smile fell as the man introduced himself. "You're his brother?!" Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. "I'm Cameron," the fae said, swallowing and shaking his hand. It wasn't like he could just say no when the embodiment of war invited him for coffee, especially when he was cornering him inside of an elevator in the very fancy hotel he fucking owned, so the fae nodded. "Yeah. Sure. Coffee sounds great."

The horseman nodded as if it was the most obvious thing, “I am. I know, no resemblance, I’m taller and more handsome,” he joked without a smile, which probably didn’t help the joke to land correctly. “Cameron. Nice to meet you,” he said with a dangerous smirk because now he had a name. One Freddie had refused to give him. “Good, step back, please,” he said so he could get in the elevator and used his card to be able to reach the penthouse where his office was, “How long have you known Freddie?” he asked, curious to know how long this has been going on.

Cameron actually huffed a chuckle at that; it's the kind of joke he'd make. That smirk made him a little uneasy, but then again, the whole interaction was leaving him on his toes. He stepped back, allowing the man inside the elevator, swallowing again when the doors were closed. Why did he feel like he should text Freddie to let him know where he was? Or maybe ask for help? Wait, he was asking something. "Uh, a couple of months, I think. Three, maybe? Not that long of a time," he said, then added, "Though for you guys, I think years would also not be a long time."

He smiled when the fae laughed at his joke. At least he had a sense of humor. Warren could practically feel the nervousness radiating from the other, “Relax. I’m not gonna hurt you,” he said, shaking his head and still smirking, “so you met him almost as soon as he arrived, uh? That’s interesting,” he said when the doors of the elevator opened, “You’re the fae who works at the legal firm? Or is that your brother?” he asked remembering Erik had mentioned a fae and Uriel’s son looking for sponsors. He got out and opened the door to his office, inviting the shorter man inside, “take a seat, I’ll order the coffee,” he said as he reached for the intercom and asked for coffee for three.

Cam nodded along, scratching his head. "Sorry, you both just have... very different vibes," he said in a way of mentioning their energies. Freddie was intense but soothing to him now, Warren was... electric. And not the good kind. "I think so, yeah. He mentioned he had just gotten corporeal." Cam said, then added, "From what I gathered, that's a he thing, right? Being without a body. You guys like having vessels more?" He said, unsure of what he was supposed to talk about or what kinds of subjects were delicate. Cam was surprised at the question about the firm. "Oh wow, you really have an ear everywhere in town, huh? That's me, yeah. My brother is the artistic one," Cam said, not mentioning Devon's name of where he worked, unsure if it was safe. "I work at the firm with the supernatural cases." He said, then took a seat, confused as for the three coffees. Was he expecting Cameron to stay here during the meeting?!

Warren laughed at the, "I know. We're supposed to. Bet you haven't met Gilmore yet," he teased. "That was like two hundred years ago, but yeah, that's pretty recent for us," he smiled, amused, "I meant as soon as he arrived to town, but I'm assuming the answer to that is yes too," he teased, sitting down, in one of the luxury couches, nodding to the one in front for the fae to sit. He frowned, confused at the question, "Freddie is complicated," he said, scratching his chin, "they didn't like much being on vessels. I guess it's more a thing you grow fond of," he explained. "As a businessman, you have to," he explained as the service arrived with the coffee and some pastries, setting everything on the coffee table and then Warren thanked them. "That's right. The musician. Forgot his name, but he's Maya's friend," he smiled a little more openly when he mentioned her. "Right! So you're the one who's supposed to be on our side when something happens involving humans?" He asked, reaching for his coffee.

Cam frowned a bit. "I haven't, no. That's death, right?" He asked, relaxing a bit. Watching Warren talk about his brother was amusing in a way that was almost relatable. "Brothers often are." he shrugged when he said Freddie was complicated. It was an understatement, but Warren didn't have to know that. "Oh my god, that's right, you're Maya's guy! I mean, boyfriend. I've never actually met her, but Dev likes her a lot, they're great friends," Cam said with a smile, it was almost as if that information humanized Warren a bit. "Precisely, yeah. My job is to find legal loopholes so they don't have to know what we are. Or that we exist."

Warren nodded, "yes, that's them, so he you think I'm not the fun sibling, waiting till you met them," he smirked, knowing most creatures feared his younger sibling. He shook his head, "I'm not saying it as my brother. What he is is that it's more complicated than the rest of us," he said, not going into details about the purpose of their creation. At the mention of Maya, Warren smiled brightly, "that's me, yes, the luckiest guy in town for sure," he assured, "they are. Maya has made good friends here," he said with a nod, taking a sip of his coffee. He hummed at the fae's answer, "I would benefit a lot from having someone like you in my legal team," he said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid my little brother wouldn't be amused about that," he sighed, guessing Freddie would be against it, "so you two are dating?" He asked out of the blue.

"Oh, I can imagine. Death must be really scary," he said almost seriously, politely taking his cup of coffee. The answer got him frowning. "What do you mean by that? If you don't mind me asking," He couldn't help but smile at Warren's sheer brightness when he spoke about Maya. "I'd be super up for that." Cam perked up at the mention of being a part of Warren's legal team, then chuckled. "If you do what Freddie says, no one would ever get close to me with a ten foot pole." Cam said rolling his eyes, thinking bitterly about his stupid ban on the fae being at the Red Door. He was sipping his coffee when that last question hit, and Cameron choked on it, coughing a bit and placing the cup on the tray. "What? Where- Did he say that?!"

Warren smirked, "you have no idea," he said, amused. He took a deep breath at the question, "Famine has always been very set on fulfilling their duties, but when we were put on standby," he clicked his tongue, "it's been complicated for them to find a new calling," he said vaguely. It was interesting to see the fae had ambitions related to his career, but then he frowned, "I don't do what my brother says. I just don't mess with their acquaintances," he said with a shrug. Warren reached to offer a napkin to the fae when he started coughing, "Does it looks like he would tell me something like that?" He asked, arching a brow, "I'm just curious as of why you've been at his suite so often and why I'm finding you leaving in the morning when most of his friends don't spend the night," he said simply.

That sounded ominous, but Cam had nothing to say, so he just listened. It was weird to hear someone calling Freddie Famine. It sounded... cold. "He seems very set on... rules," Cam mused, rubbing his bruised wrists unconsciously. He laughed when Warren asked if Freddie would tell him if they were dating, Cam doubted Freddie would even tell CAM that. The fae had opened his mouth to deny that they were dating but paused when he understood what the horseman had just said. "Wait, they don't? But I thought..."

Warren laughed at that, "You have no idea. Our first hundred years were a fucking nightmare with him reminding us about the rules," he said, amused. He noticed the bruises and smirked, "I feel like I should be surprised about that, but I guess it was expected..." he said casually. He clicked his tongue, "exactly. Which leads me to my original question, but going by your reaction, I have the feeling you're not dating. Just be careful. Getting attached to us is dangerous," he warned.

Cam laughed at that, imagining a baby Freddie hitting the others with a stick and talking about how they were supposed to be doing stuff instead of having fun. He hid his wrists by crossing his arms, swallowing when he saw Warren had noticed them. "Expected?" He asked, then rolled his eyes at the warning. "No offense, but aren't you dating a human?"

Warren wasn't sure what was so funny about Freddie being strict about rules, but he only smiled, guessing the fae hadn't seen the bad side yet. "Let's just say that the rule thing goes deeper than you imagine," he shrugged. He sat straight and looked at Cameron in the eyes with a serious expression, "she's not a human," he corrected, even if technically she was just a little step above humans. "Doesn't that makes me an expert on the matter?" He asked seriously, "you need to be specially careful with Freddie. He hasn't been in human form long enough to learn emotions. The best you can do for your own good is not get attached," he said and then leaned back, "take that as a friendly advice. He's still too unpredictable, and it's not a joke we can be really dangerous."

Cam shivered when he sensed a wave of anger coming off of Warren. "Sorry," he said right away. "You don't have to worry about it. I'm not here expecting him to fall in love with me or anything." He said, arms wrapped around his own waist protectively. "So, no need to worry about my feelings. And Freddie wouldn't hurt me, I know that."

Warren felt a little bad when the fae apologized. He didn't mean to sound so upset, but sometimes it just came naturally. "That's the problem, Cameron. We can't help to hurt others. Even those we love and trust me, we don't do it on purpose, but it happens, and it gets bad," he said remembering how Maya had gotten caught in the middle more than once, "we also have a lot of enemies, and since they can't hurt us, they go after the ones we care about. I'm not trying to warn you off of my brother, but I'm letting you know what dangerous territory you're getting into," he said, putting his empty mug on the table.

Cameron paused, thinking over what he said. "I... will think about it" he said, wondering how bad it got for Maya, but he wouldn't ask. The fae frowned when he mentioned the enemies: "Thanks for the warning, but... I don't think you have to worry about it. Freddie... doesn't seem like the kind of guy who gets attached to people."

Warren sighed when Cameron hit the nail on the head, "exactly. Sometimes that hurts more than anything else. And just because he doesn't get attached doesn't mean you won't either," he said, simply, hoping now Cameron knew what he had meant.

Cameron had a frown on his face when he spoke again, almost confused. "So you didn't bring me to give me a shovel talk, you hurt his feelings, I hurt your face kinda talk? You were just warning me not to catch feelings?"

Warren hummed, "I'm more worried about his lack of feelings and how that would affect you," he said honestly, "he'd need to develop feelings first so I can worry about you hurting those," he said honestly.

The fae frowned for a second. "You're upset because he doesn't feel things... is that it? You wish he did," Cam said with an empathetic smile. "You know, since we started... seeing each other, I see him developing those. Nothing too big or- or earth shattering, but he cares, you know?" He paused. "He brought me ice cream when I was sad. Do I think he googled what to do? Possibly. But still."

"I know everyone here would be safer if he had feelings, so you can blame me for expecting him to do that. But I'm also aware how long that takes," he sighed and looked towards the door when he felt his brother's energy approaching just as Cameron sounded almost moved about Freddie bringing him ice-cream. He looked at the fae and pointed to his lips to make him stop talking. "I'll wait for those documents then. Thank you for all the information, Cameron," he changed the subject abruptly just as the door opened.

Freddie knew Warren was gonna be upset, but he could deal with that. As soon as Cameron left, he hurried to get ready, putting on a suit like every time he was supposed to talk business with his brother, but he frowned as soon as the elevator stopped at the penthouse, and he felt Cameron's energy there. He opened the door without knocking, "what the fuck do you think you're doing, Warren?" He asked seriously, glaring at his brother, wondering why the fae was even there.

Cameron stopped himself from continuing his defense of Freddie when Warren motioned for him to stop talking. He then caught up on the warning when he heard the door open, still too shit at reading energies to figure out he was coming over. Cam turned to look at the door when he heard it open and then felt himself shrink on the couch at the glare he saw on Freddie's eyes. Was he angry at him?

Warren expression remained neutral even with his brother's reaction, "what does it look like? I'm working. Since you decided to come late to the meeting, I'm taking advantage of the time to talk business with Cameron. He's a very competent lawyer, and you know I like working with the best," he said seriously as he pointed to the couch, "I ordered your coffee," he waved his hand towards the table and returned his attention to Cameron, "I'm sorry for taking some of your time when you were in a rush, but I'd like to talk about the project you mentioned more in detail," he smiled, "I'll call your office to schedule a proper meeting," he said as if they hadn't been talking about the other man in the office just a minute ago.

Freddie hated how Warren was talking to him so condescendingly, especially in front of Cameron. He took a deep breath and turned to look at the fae, who seemed scared? Had he scared Cameron with his little outburst? He sighed and looked at Warren talk to Cameron about a project, still unsure if he believed him, but he still sat down, stealing some glances towards the fae to make sure he was ok.

The fae's eyes met Freddie's once he sat down, for just a moment, before he turned back to Warren, who had just talked to him. "Of course, yeah, no worries." He said, getting to his feet, since apparently, this was Warren's way to send him away. What was with horsemen and sending him away that morning?! Stepping towards the door, though, he reached to press his hand over Freddie's shoulder, his wrist visible only to him. He didn't say anything, but he hoped Freddie understood that squeeze as he was saying he was okay. "I'll be waiting on your call, thanks for hearing me, Warren," Cam said with a nod because, in the end, he did need to be on Warren's good side of the good of their project.

Warren stood up when Cameron did and smiled politely as he pretended he hadn't seen the fae reach to touch his brother and then his reaction. That was precisely what he was warning Cameron about. "Thank you for including me on this. I'll call later today," he assured as he walked Cameron towards the door. Ignoring the murderous glare of his younger brother.

Freddie squinted his eyes at Cameron's words, but as soon as the fae touched him, he visibly relaxed. He might have even smiled when he noticed the bruise on the wrist, and he nodded almost imperceptibly to Cameron as he walked to the door, followed by his brother, with whom he was about to have some serious words.

Cam relaxed too when he saw that smile, letting go of his shoulder to be walked out, saying his goodbyes to them both and hoping he hadn't said too much. His mind, however, kept replaying Warren's warning on the way home. Was there something he was missing?

@maya-matlin I just had to respond to these tags cause SERIOUSLY. There are honestly a lot of parallels between season 3 and NC season 3. I think I made a gifset at some point but I honestly never thought about Ashley’s role in it until recently. Both her and Maya had boyfriends that cheated which even though Mayas downward spiral didn’t come till later, it definitely was something under the surface and was just one of many things that caused everything to go downhill for her come season 3. With Ashley it was more of the main thing that caused it but at the same time there were more factors from before season 3 as well. Everything with the party/ecstasy, being shut out by Paige and everyone, but what Craig did is what caused it all to come to a head, like how with Maya it was the bus crash. Tristan being in a coma clearly affected Maya too just like how Terri being in a coma affected Ashley though we don’t really see that until this episode when Terri’s already awake. At this point her and Terri had mostly drifted apart just like how Maya and Tristan had but it still clearly affected them. Though this episode is really the only time it was heavily focused on for Ashley and it’s clear the writers judging by how Paige and Spinner reacted is that they wanted it to look like she was just being over dramatic and that really is upsetting…So many people in real life already treat people with depression that way and it’s such a shitty feeling. I get that people weren’t nearly as open with mental health back then as they are now but I mean they handled it with Ellie this season so they could have went more in depth with Ashley’s. Not even just in this season but in season 2 when it was clear she (Ashley) was struggling. Honestly other than Maya and Esme (I’m not really gonna count Ellie cause it wasn’t that heavily focused on outside of one episode) I feel like they mainly focused on guys mental health which was great and important of course, but after Craig, I feel like it was mainly done so that the male character could be let off the hook for shit, mainly Eli and Hunter. I don’t think they did it with Cam and Miles intentionally but looking at the fandom you wouldn’t know that. Not saying that these characters stories weren’t well done or important cause they all were compelling, but compared to how they treated the female characters mental health (again, outside of Maya. With Esme they never got the chance to go as in depth with it as they could have, but also I only can blame the show getting cancelled so much cause they could have gone more in depth the first 3 seasons but they waited till the last minute. But like, even Maya was looked at as a bitch or annoying by the fandom cause of her anxiety, same as most people thinking Ashley was just annoying. Meanwhile characters like Eli, Cam, etc are just seen as misunderstood and poor little puppies, even when they’re behaving like assholes. It’s such a double standard.

I think I got off topic a bit lol but anyway I completely agree 100% with your tags.

[imsodishy]

most of the scenes in this season were saved by the actors' acting and improvising. caleb's acting in max's death scene and improvising calling out erica's name. winona and david deciding to add a kiss scene betwn joyce and hopper. quinn improvising stuff when it comes to his dynamic with steve/joe and joe doing the same thing, quinn improvising stuff when it came to his dynamic with dustin/gaten, sadie changing some lines and acting/improvising during her scenes, noah's improvising moments and charlie and noah's adding a hug scene between jonathan and will at the pizza scene, etc. like that just ...... what did the writers do then lol

the fact is it's not just season four lol. like if you go back and watch interviews with cast and the duffers themselves over and over and over, the recurring theme is the actors came up with it.

and not just small shit either, big significant character stuff. Maya made Robin a lesbian. Dacre gave us fuckin every single thing that made Billy compelling. even steve getting to have a face turn and become a hero was down to joe. literally the only thing I can think of that the duffers personally pushed for more of is goddamn Karen (but we don't have time to get into that)

The duffers do not give a single shit about characters. They are shallow men, with zero emotional intelligence, and they cam continue to steal from better horror writers and directors until the cows come home, but it will always ring hollow and cheap because horror is about people.

One more ask! You’ve mentioned several times that you have complicated feelings towards Zaya, which makes sense since all the characters and ships on this show have more than their share of flaws and messy moments :) So I wanted to ask what you love about them AND what you wish you could change about them! Also, talk about why you prefer Camaya!!

Putting under read more just in case.

What I love about Zaya: Their chemistry. Like it's explosive yet also has a lot of comfort. I can buy how much they love each other and their development was beautiful to see.

What I wish I could change about Zaya: Well them kissing while ZIg was still with Tori was a little 'ugh' to me. Even moreso that there were those moments of Zig pestering Maya to go out with him. I HATE those types of relationships where one person goes after the other without taking 'no' for an answer. It's not cute, it's not sweet, it's romantic. It's DISGUSTING and ignoring the other person's agency. And while I don't blame him for Cam's death, even if Cam didn't end up committing suicide, he shouldn't be telling the girl he claims to love's boyfriend to get out of her life But he did feel bad about that and realizing his mistake. And also, Zig calling Maya his "sloppy seconds" is also never addressed? And I mean ZIg's attitude about Maya following her dream in NC is just idk...but I'm getting ahead of myself.

But what I would personally change about them to have them as endgame is that, they can still kiss and Zig would still have feelings for Maya except he'd back off a little more. Zig would be honest with Tori and break up with her. Maya would be upset at first but understand.

Idk if Cam would have still killed himself if Zig didn't talk to him. But if he does :(, I'd have Zaya have that same storyline. And in s13, Zig would be less of a dick about Matlingsworth but he'd still be into Maya. Wouldn't call Maya his "sloppy seconds" or any of that. Wouldn't be an asshole about Maya not being into like that and they'd stay friends and that same storyline.

In season 14, I'd have it be the same, except I'd give Matilngsworth and Zoemund closure. Zoe and Zig can go on a date, but realize they're better as friends (which a perfect lead in for Zoe realizing she's gay). Matlingsworth can be friends or have the same thing as Zoemund.

And everything else with Zaya in that season is still the same :)

For next class s1, even though I HATE the cheating and Zig being unsupportive of Maya's dream, it isn't ooc imo. But I would rather if Zig wasn't jealous of Maya and Jonah but still...

Early Season 2 can be the same except after #TurnItUp, Zig (and Grace) wouldn't try to insist for Maya to forgive him and she'd get some space. So Zig would be less of a dick and Grace would not have feelings for him. Like I don't even like Gracevas, but Grace having feelings for Zig of all people and defending him to Maya...Like she could tell Zoe that she thinks Zig is hot. They didn't HAVE to have Grae have feelings for the guy. While I don't think it came out of nowhere because Grace is a very private person and probably would have hid it through insults or smth or something could've developed, it's the way Grace kept defending him to Maya when ZIg completely fucked up.

Season 3 and Season 4 Zaya can still be the same and they'd get back together during their trip and talk things out :)

As for why I prefer Camaya, I just think they're very sweet and pure. They truly seemed to adore each other and I love how Cam liked Maya in the beginning and Maya started to feel the same way. I know it's unrealistic, but a Camaya endgame would have been adorable. They were definitely each other's first loves.

Match Review: Everton Women 0-2 Manchester United Women

Another league cup game, another league cup win.

Where to begin on this one. It was a better game than the Leicester match, with a rotated team. I don't know Everton well enough to know how much they rotated - but they certainly weren't as resilient as the Foxes.

A goalmouth scramble in the 15th minute saw United take the lead, with a claim from Melvine Malard for the last touch but an official ruling of an own goal by Everton keeper Courtney Brosnan.

Brosnan struggled with aerial threats for large parts of the game, which is inevitable versus Williams and Malard up top, but for all that she grew into the match... you don't stop Maya Le Tissier hitting an absolute thunderfuck shot into the top bins. LORDY was that a hit.

Literally like watching prime Scholesy, just absolutely boshed high and in the corner.

With the men's side, we've queried people buckling under pressure when being made captain, or falling short of duties. For Maya, it seems like the missing piece of the puzzle. She has been sensational so far this season.

United were on the whole a lot more dangerous in this game than last, with 16 shots and 7 on target - far less hit & hope than vs Leicester City. Possession was also heavily in United's favour - 65/35 respectively. Passing accuracy... I would have liked to have seen. I think United have been wasteful with the double DM picks, so to see a deeper Miyazawa and Emma Watson in CAM... it would have been nice to see how we fared. Is the dog-leg 10-8-6 triad better than two 6s and a 10 for the passing and possession? Is Skinner too cautious, or right to respect opponents whilst using overlapping full backs?

Debuts for Emma Watson and LB Jess Simpson (pictured above in a Saf/Leah sandwich) were nice touches, and well deserved. Both have suffered with injury, as have Leah and Anna Sandberg. A start for Hayley Ladd was also welcome. All played pretty well too - Watson is more CAM than RW where she drifted late on, but maybe it was the knock to the leg she took that hindered that comfort. Otherwise all were solid in their respective duties.

I would have liked to have seen Lucy Newell get some minutes however; she wasn't on the bench, but did Dominque Janssen need more time when we subbed the likes of Geyse to rest them? Contradictory behaviour. Dom is reliable but it would have been a good test of young talent, and Lucy has shone with both England and with West Bromwich Albion Women - her childhood team whose academy she rose through. Use her or loan her. Don't alienate her. We run the risk of losing Grace Clinton as is, and she was a similar hot prospect youth signing who, with loans, excelled. Minutes matter.

Next up for United is that hard, overdue tie away at Chelsea on Sunday - noon kickoff. We cannot afford to lose if we're serious about bagging a European spot. We have to fight for something.

[degrassi-fandom-confessions]

I used to defend Tristan, but when I got to the “back off my bf” moment during my rewatch I completely changed my mind. How did he not understand why Maya was so worried about Miles? Him and Maya were best friends throughout the Cam situation and he never connected the dots??
