GUESS WHAT I SAW

your badly summarised wips and i can't live without knowing what's up with survival is a team sport and we lay amongst the thorns give me the lore please

First of all, I love you Letters, thank you for the ask.

Okay so, lore behind We All Lie Amongst The Thorns and Survival Is A Team Sport. I have done proper wip summaries on my intro post here, but I'd be happy to go into more detail.

We All Lie Amongst The Thorns is a fairy tale retelling. The main character is my version of Sleeping Beauty. The story starts on her presentation ceremony (the day about a week after her birth when she is presented to the public) where a fairy from each discipline will bless her, except for the divination fairy, who will read her future. After the blessings are given the divination fairy has her vision and says that she will be cursed to fall into a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday, and that this curse will bring about the kingdom's downfall. The king, terrified of losing his power, sends the newborn baby deep into the woods, far away from him. And thus the story begins.

Survival Is A Team Sport starts out on a beautiful sunny summer day, the main character Camryn's birthday. He and his friends are on the way to his house after school to celebrate when suddenly the sky goes dark and strange things start dropping from the sky. The kids' path home is blocked, so they take cover in a nearby garage. The sounds of chaos continue throughout the night, and when they finally peek out in the morning, everything has changed.

“Yall couldn't handle simply lovely” “you wouldn't have been able to handle multi 21” “you wouldve exploded during brocedes” “y'all couldn't even handle Austria 24”

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP OH MY GOD SHUT UP PLEASE SHUT UP

FORMULA ONE IS A SPORT!!! STOP ACTING LIKE PEOPLE BEING UPSET AND BEING ANNOYED AT A DRIVER IS A BAD THING!!! YOU ARE NOT SUPERIOR BECAUSE YOURE NOT MAD ABOUT SOMETHING! YOULL BE MAD NEXT WEEK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!!! ITS A SPORT! RIVALRIES ARE INGRAINED INTO IT!!! BE MAD! BE ANGRY!!!! HATE DRIVERS! ITS WHAT THIS SPORT HAS BEEN MISSING!!!!!

You are not superior for “handling” an event when your driver is the one who instigated it. You are not superior for not being upset about something. Being upset is the right response. Being upset means you have passion for the sport and for the drivers. Being upset IS THE REASON these events were as big as they were!!!!

“Yall wouldn't survive the rosberg hat throw”

Do you really think Lewis and Mercedes fans weren't AT LEAST as upset during that as max fans are today??? Are you serious???

This isn't even aimed at Lando fans!!!! This is aimed at everyone who says “y'all can't even handle xyz” everytime something happens!!! Rivalries need fans to be passionate about them! They don't just happen on their own with no one caring and being completely uninterested!

You are supposed to care about sports! Stop telling people they shouldn't care about their driver and their sport!

So Sky Sports had an exclusive interview with Guenther Steiner about his exit from Haas. Here’s the tea:

He found out via a call during Christmas/New Year (DTS are kicking themselves for missing the call of the century)

Guenther is clearly keeping his cards close to his chest but lord help Gene if Guenther writes another book

Seems to be that the ‘embrassing’ comment made by Gene has had a ripple effect within the factory that’s not sitting well

When asked about Haas and their future Guenther pretty much said not my problem

About his raising fame Guenther explained how it benefitted the team and keep it running and if anything help sercuring Moneygram as their title sponsor

Tried to get Guenther to bad mouth Gene but Guenther was world class and kept it all diplomatic

#guenther steiner #haas f1 team #gene haas #f1 #sky sports doing something good for once #stand up f1 team principal #Drive to survive will miss him dearly

“If the stars don’t align …”

#ah baby how the stars have aligned indeed #it’s not just the culmination of the prodigal son narrative #going back to the same team to once again partner the multi times world champion golden child #ten years after you first did it but this time older and maybe a bit wiser #or maybe not #because once you’re in that car who’s to say the monster won’t once again be awakened #and you might have walked out of that press con last year talking to that same guy who is now stood where you were last year #and he shook hands and sympathised with you #so what if people are going to call you a hypocrite??#you were taught at 13 to go up and shake your opponent’s hand #and then years later you’d call yourself the honey badger and leaned into the whole image your whole career #and people think it’s cute but they also forget the real nature of the honey badger #so what if people will call you a backstabber #that’s the very nature of the sport ruthless cutthroat or whatever they’ll call it #maybe it’s not just the survival of the fittest but the survival of the basest of men

hella do you think you could dumb bitchify aftg 🥺

(your making me want to get it but idk yet)

NO. GET HELP

#um. so basically i do not know how to even begin to explain aftg even if i am dumb bitchifying it. there's this guy #and he's on the run and he's on his own no family no friends but he's OBSESSED with a made up sport called exy #it's like a mental crutch for him it's the one thing he's really passionate about and he's willing to risk his brutal life #of survival and being on the run if it only means he can play. and this team of professional exy players called the foxes sign him on #and they're all messed up in some way bc the whole point of them is to be a refuge for societal rejects #we're talking drug addicts ex-juvie abuse victims etc etc the works and it's written in a VERY raw way #that often lends itself to making the characters feel very real but also does mishandle a lot of very sensitive topics as a result #and the series is basically about the found family of this team and them going from dysfunctional underdogs to national champions #except the fucking mafia is involved. and andrew minyard exists but i cant even speak of him tonight with the mood im in #i WILL shatter into a million pieces #ask #aftg

see a cassie yj au would slap so hard the issue is that there is no universe where she plays a sport. she just isnt that kinda girlie

#like yes shes a cheerleader but its soooo status driven more than sporting driven #she is Not an athlete she is a pretty girl that likes little skirts #she also is not surviving the wilderness she would die first i fear #the Only world in which cassie survives the wilderness in a yj au is if caspers there #which honestly #i almost think it'd be easier to explain casper being involved than cassie even tho its an all girls team #that is how much shes Not a sports girlie #i do think it would b sweet if she insisted on coming along to be their lil cheerleader #ben would b tired of her before theyre even on the plane i fear

yellowjacket girlies... have they ever talked about what position all the girls on the team play???? im just wondering how that might impact their role within the narrative of the story...

#HAS ANYONE MADE THAT COMNECTION BC #I PLAYED SOCCER AND LEMME SAY #WHO IS THE GOALIE ON THEIR TEAM. WHO PLAYS DEFENSE MOST #WHO IS A FORWARD AND SCORES THE MOST GOALS #I NEED TO KNOW #yellowjackets #i get that this is Less about the soccer and more about the survival #but they are still a Team. at their core #and soccer is Espevially a team sport #those roles on the field would translate very well to their roles in the wild

I am so serious when I say not a single f1 driver would make it a week in Oxford college rowing 🧍‍♀️

#and not just bc it require doing an ox degree but that too.#like do you know the sporting psychological warfare that elite uni girlies wage against each other 😭#like I’ve been in the uni varsity team and two of the most competitive women’s college teams and like #again high performance training unpaid while studying #also my squad literally released a ranking this week where they ranked all of us #just arbritrarly and publicly . lol #and we’ve got the most insane class dynamics #bc it’s like free school fitlris who only started rowing at uni v private school people who’ve been rowing since they were teenagers …#so evil honestly #every job application I do I’m like. I’ve survived not making it through crew selection got varsity boat race and I’ve survived public crew #ranking lists I’ll survive whatever you throw at me LOL

OC Headcannon Tag

I have been tagged in yet another one of these by @world-of-iridensia here, and they're fun so I'm doing another one, this time for the kids of Survival Is A Team Sport

Rules: Use this headcanon generator to generate some random headcanons for your character and rate them

Camryn

Camryn is not allowed to drink energy drinks.

This is true, he's parents don't let him and his friends all agree this is probably for the best.

Camryn is awful with technology and doesn't know how to use a smart phone.

He's not that bad with technology, but he's not exactly a computer genius.

Camryn bites their nails.

No, I gave him some of the nervous ticks I have and that's one of the few I've never done.

Zac

Zac is a dog person.

Zac is in fact a dog person. He loves dogs.

Zac will go feral. Watch out.

Yes.

Zac is a cat person.

At this point I'm pretty sure the headcannon generator thinks Zac lives in a zoo. But yes, Zac is also a cat person. He loves animals in general.

Alec

Alec chews their nails when nervous.

He does but he's trying to stop because he finds it embarrassing so whenever he realizes he's doing it he'll quickly hide his hands behind his back like a guilty child or something.

Alec forgets to eat sometimes.

Alec's a grazer with a tiny stomach, so it tends to look like he skips meals but he actually does eat plenty, it's just scattered throughout the day

Alec is going to heaven.

He's only like 18 so I'd hope so?

Jasper

Jasper hacks their stats in every video game they play.

No, he's got too strong of morals for that.

Jasper has a diary that they write in with a glittery gel pen.

He does have a diary. Cannot confirm nor deny existence of glittery gel pen, but it probably is his utensil of choice.

Jasper has a pet squirrel.

Jasper would be afraid of the squirrel, and if he tried to befriend it it would probably bite him.

Larken

Larken has an incredible short-term memory but an awful long-term memory.

This is actually pretty true. Unless it's like an important core memory she'll probably forget it within a week.

Larken speaks only in meme refrences.

Larken's family lives completely off the grid and has no internet access, but honestly if someone were to introduce her to memes properly she would do it.

Larken is not good with social cues.

This is true.

Eve

Eve has a roblox account.

Not only does Eve have a roblox account but she also bullies children on it.

Eve can play the piano.

Only because her parents forced her to learn.

Eve's least favourite subject in school was Gym.

Nope. She loves gym.

thinking about Pahanin again, as one does

i miss my wife.........

#destiny #ramble grumble #i swear im normal about him #and not about how fucked up he must have been bc of VoG #or how he forgot about his team #or how confusing it must have been for his life and memories to be lost or twisted #how much of his sanity did he even keep after that?#how did he survive until his fateful meeting with Yor?#and did Yor kill him out of sport?#like thalor?#or as an example?#or even out of pity

ode to the oceans rise

dancing on a tightrope/lying through our teeth look at us darlings/how we feast the waters have risen/the hems salt stained pretty little dances/soon to meet there ends the clothes are old/and let out again these pretty delusions/are wearing gossamer thin dont look down/dont break the spell but you look up/and see how far away are the stars feel the water/lapping at your gown dont look down/dont look down you would hate/to drown its what you daddy ran from/its what your mama only saw his friends all drowned/hers still just holding on son of salt/daughter of air you new fellows above/old peers dying below take the shining hand/rise up above above the desperate hands/you claimed to love guilt makes your dance clumsy/but survivals no team game unless someones winning/unless your the one in pain pick your ally's/chose wise and smart they wont drown/wouldn't know where to start children of air/who dance so pretty don't know the ocean/and its boundless cruelty you rose above/how daring of you but can you resist the call/of what made you

#poetry #i am aware its a dence af block of text. but its a rlly long poem and i dont want to clog anyones dash #mmm i wonder what the rising ocean could represent??????#what major finacial issue in the uk could it be represtenting?????#i mean ist also about class #but only in terms of below/above the poverty line #am i caling my freinds sligtly delusional about their finacial situation and how they are kinda turning their back on #the people they grew up with? yes #but me even more so #they dont know the ocean #i do. to well #ive seen so many people drown #im walking away in full knolwege of how lucky i am compared to the people in my school #to the people who raised me #the people who i know #but like the line says #survivals not a team sport unless its beneficial #and i can only hope they want me to have a better life #rather than curse me out for abandoning them #i know the depths well #seen so many death throes #i swore i wouldn't end up like them #but maybe ive spent to long here #maybe im the deluded one #i guess ill find out soon

do I get a cardinal tattooed on the other leg in the same style to go with the swan

#I want to but I feel silly like #this swan represents the holy spirit and surviving trauma!#and this cardinal represents a professional sports team.

Look. I'm not just the eldest of my siblings. I'm the eldest cousin. Pokemon became a thing at the exact right time to entrance my brothers and it has hit basically every cousin on the way down, later followed by many niephs.

If you do not want to be lectured at by little kids about which pokemon is best, you pick a favorite fast and stick with it. Even if you know nothing about it. That pokemon is now the best in the world and your opinion is completely unwavering.

This is the only way to survive.

If so, what is it?

#togepi #in a sports mad family where people rep different teams this is also required #baltimore ravens are my team #do i care about football?#no #well #only when i can crow at my b-i-l for beating his team in the superbowl #otherwise? not a jot #BUT #having a Team was an absolute requirement for survival #football was the problem sport b/c every single adult had a different team #baseball and basketball were more united

making my formal apology to my cousins for disparaging their years long lacrosse obsession. went to a tournament td and maybe that Was fun enough to warrant missing 1/2 of the last 20 family vacations.

#lee’s bullshit #like ngl that was fucking AWESOME I love sports that move fast it was great #also rlly made me wish exy was a real sport god i would tear that UP !!! pls someone create real collegiate Exy please-#even when i played as a kid the base concept of it was rlly fun i just hated my teams and running. today nearly made me wish I hadn’t quit #would not have survived the traveling and the food chain tjo. would have gotten destroyed.#like these guys are CONSTANTLY traveling it’s ridiculous. hence why we never see them during holidays .#hope they’re at least having fun tho like it seems like it <3 maybe I’ll try to catch a game tmrw too #anyway <33

Ah, the NIT Tournament. Some people say it's pointless to hold a tournament to decide the 69th best team in the nation. I respectfully disagree. In fact, I'd say it holds a purpose darn near as important as the "real" tournament.

To crown the nicest team in the nation!

#ncaa #ncaa basketball #college basketball #nit tournament #yes believe it or not sorta does have some “69” jokes in him #honestly shocked that the sports world didn't make this joke worn-out years ago #also the bucks lost so i hope my dad will survive between this the women's team losing and the football team choking #i honestly don't care as much about college sports or osu but i guess i'll pull for them just so my dad's weekend isn't totally ruined #bless his heart he's a fan of all ohio teams and hasn't seen any of them win anything in years besides the crew and he doesn't like soccer #(still trying to keep my home state secret but just putting that out there)

I keep getting Draft Kings and Fan Duel advertisements since it’s being legalized soon for me and it’s not good for my gambling addiction tendencies and my interest in NASCAR and F1 (will inevitably lead to me betting on drivers and losing because somebody crashes out/DNFs and fucks the parlay)

#cw gambling #tw gambling #I have lost $500 on Stake which is why I’m not the most happy with the sponsor for the f1 team #but they gotta survive somehow until Audi id take the bag too #nascar #f1 #its related enough #sports betting #gambling addiction #I don’t consider myself to have many vices but gambling is one unfortunately
