#also he LITERALLY backed off when he saw johnny pop up out of nowhere that spear is SCARED of that shark

[aviaviator]

I have to say it. The Speardovich/Jonathan Jones ship is INCREDIBLY funny to me because of the heavy implication that Speardovich got his ass handed to him by Johnny if not once then multiple times and is afraid of him, and that's why he baited Mario into going after Johnny

Happy Birthday, Love

Pairings - Jung Jaehyun x reader

Genre - Pure fluff.

Warnings- None, But this is extreemmeellyyyy long.

Summary - Jaehyun loves spending his time and money for you every single day, guess how he'd be like on your birthday?

This oneshot was requested! ♡

Autumn.

The absolutely perfect weather to either stay in and cuddle up, or go out with your significant other.

You were so glad that your birthday falls in autumn, it's the perfect season, not too hot, not too cold, and not too lonely with Jaehyun beside you.

The minute you opened your eyes that morning, you saw Jaehyun, your boyfriend of over 2 years, leaning over your side with a tray full of English breakfast, all perfectly set, looking absolutely tempting.

"Happiest birthday, sleeping beauty" he said, an enthusiastic tone, as hearts basically flooded out of his gaze. He leaned forward, placing the tray full of food on the side table, sitting beside you and placing a soft kiss on your cheek.

"Oh my god thank you so much!" you tried sounding nearly as excited as he is, but your voice came off groggy as you'd just woken up.

“When did you even prepare all of this?” you question, rubbing the sleep from your eyes as you sit up straight on the bed, head against the headboard.

“I made sure not to snooze my alarm this time” Jaehyun let out a chuckle, standing up, tilting his head slightly towards the bedside table pointing at the dish.” Freshen up and have your breakfast, babe. I’ll need to head out now’ He said, a frown forming his feature as you mirror his expression.

“Work?” he nods slowly, you let out a sigh.”I wanted to spend my birthday with you thougghh” you drag your words, reaching forward, holding his forearm is a tight grasp. 

Jaehyun beams a smile at you, pulling you towards him using his other hand, keeping you closed in a tight embrace. “I’ll try coming back as fast as i can, i’m sorry” He dug his face into the nape of your neck, the feeling ticklish on your skin so you squirm. Pulling away, you know it isn’t the best idea to hold your boyfriend back from doing his job, but you really didn’t want to spend the day alone, and so you give him your best puppy eyes.

Jaehyun notices the way you were looking at him, cooing at you, squishing your cheeks between his palm. “They said it’s important”, He gave you one tight comforting squeeze, a kiss on the forehead and pulled away from your hold.

You whine but let him walk away nevertheless, not like you could do anything anyways,and he said it’s important. You watch Jaehyun, walk towards the closet, get a hoodie, pull it over his head and walk towards the bedroom, turning back waving one last time, walking out once you did the same.

After hearing the front door close, you fall back onto the mattress, reaching for your phone which was beside your pillow, turning it on to check for any notification. No, you weren’t all about wanting everyone to wish you, but you weren’t one to not want Anyone to wish you either.

So seeing only 2 of your girlfriends send you a dog meme and wish you, both made your day and made you grumpy.

Great, No Jaehyun, No friends, No nothing

You get out of bed, as the food your boyfriend made turned cold long ago, making your way towards the bathroom to get your day started, You open the drawer to take out your skin care products, where you see a black box, with a golden ribbon tied around it in a graceful bow, with a tiny red heart shaped tag tied to it,

You reach out for the box, examining it and then placing it down, removing the tag, reading whatever’s written on it.

‘Saw you ran out of most of your skin care products, got you the ones you always wanted, hope you like it 💕’

Your heart did a 360′ turn as you place the tag down, taking the box in your hand once again, carefully undoing the bow placing it on the basin counter, you open the box to see it filled with a bunch of papers, which you take out, discarding it in the trashcan. You find the box divided into two, filled with a bunch of the best products.

One side, they were the products from cosrx, one that you really wanted to get, but thought would be a waste of money because of it’s ridiculously high price. The other side contained products from Klairs, also ones that you wanted.

The smallest observation he made of you running out of your products, and keeping a mental note of your favorite products made you feel all warm inside.

You carefully arrange the products in the drawer, going out of the bathroom to place the tag in your bedside drawer, going back into the washroom to carry on with your morning routine.

-

After a long refreshing shower, you walk towards your closet to chose your clothes, when you find a bag at the very back, you don’t remember placing anything there, you’d swore you cleaned the closet not a week ago.

You walk towards it, taking the bag out from the secluded area of your closet, going back into the room to see what’s inside the bag.

You see ‘From Jaehyun, chosen by Taeyong and Johnny’ writing at the front of the bag. Not another present you sigh, chuckling to yourself.

You open the bag, to see a note inside it. ‘I better see you wearing this when i’m back home’

You remove yet another black box, this time, seeing the words Saint Laurent embedded into the cover of the box in beautiful silver. You keep in mind to scold Jaehyun later for buying such expensive stuff. But for now, you open the box, to see a really beautiful Yves Saint Laurent fall piece inside. Gawking at the simple yet pretty piet mondrian design, you walk towards the dresser, immediately discarding your towel, putting on the dress Jaehyun brought for you.

As conceited as it sounds, the piece looked absolutely dashing on you, you even did a double twirl in front of the mirror, totally loving Jaehyun’s.. well Taeyong and Johnny’s choice.

You sit in front of your dresser, opening the drawer to take out your make up products to doll yourself up matching the clothing that you wore. You felt like banging your head on the table as you were greeted with a white box inside of the drawing.

Another one of those tags you see, this time in pastel pink. 

‘Best of all deserves the best of products’

You smile at nothing in particular, taking the note back to where the other 2 tags were kept, placing the third one neatly on top of the other two.

You open the box once you sat back down on the dresser, finding Urban decay’s spectrum eyeshadow palette, E.L.F blush palette, Anastasia’s Beverly Hills contour cream kit, and a set of MAC impassioned lipstick.

You felt overwhelmed with all the gift’s you’d found in just your room,now scared to leave the room.

Nevertheless, you used all the products he’d bought for you and did your make up, standing up once you’re satisfied with the look, grabbing the tray and making your way out of the room to heat it up and eat it.

-

Feeling bored, sitting there all dolled up, with nothing but the same movies repeating on the television, You decide to head out to the mall until late, knowing for a fact that Jaehyun had the spare keys with him so he wouldn’t be locked out. You check your phone once again, to see no notifications. You let out a sigh, making your way back into the closet, taking out a white cropped denim jacket to match the clothing, walking back out once you were happy with your outfit.

You go to the front of your house, after getting the sling bag Jaehyun had gifted you last week, to choose a shoes to match the outfit. You go weak in the knees, when you find another cover, Jimmy Choo written in Gold on the white packet, you already knew what you’d be opening. 

‘Johnny said this would look stunning with that dress, but i said you’d look good in any shoe or clothing piece ;)’

The note read this time, you’re basically radiating positive energy now all dressed up with things your boyfriend got you without having you get to know about a single thing. The fourth note found it’s way to the other three. You take out the shoe bag, opening up to a romy 60 pumps, which had a golden designing towards the tip, it was such a show stealer as you stared at it, mouth wide opened.

After the moment of admiration, you slip it on, not even bothering to see the final look. You walk out of the house, with a bright smile on your face.

Maybe the day wouldn’t be as bad as you’d thought it would be.

-

The day passed by quick, you did not forget to thank your boyfriend for all the gifts he’d gotten you through text, for you to not get any reply back. The other members of his group hadn’t contacted you since morning either, weird from them as they’d been the ones to spam you for your last 2 birthdays.

You make your way towards the elevator, rummaging through your purse to get the keys out.

Reaching your floor you make your way towards the end of the corridor, where your house was situated at.

Your shared house wasn’t anything too fancy, it was extremely spacious, a little too spacious for only the two of you in the house, but Jaehyun's excuse for getting a big house was ‘The boys are for sure going to turn our apartment into their second house’ and so you couldn’t do anything but comply.

You turn the doorknob clockwise, opening the door wide open, humming soft tunes to yourself, closing the door behind you. Walking in a little further into the house to turn the light switch on.

You turn back around to remove your shoes, only to let out a loud scream as all eight of the boys, jumped out of literally nowhere scaring the life out of you.

“Happy Birthday Y/n!!!!” they scream out loud, opening champagne bottles on either sides of the room stood Johnny and Taeil, Popping open the confetti birthday poppers stood Mark, Haechan and Jungwoo, Yuta and Taeyong stood beside both Johnny and Taeil with a bunch of boxes, Doyoung stood in the middle of them all holding two large heart shaped helium balloons.

You started tearing up just a bit, overwhelmed as each of them discard things they held onto the floor or onto the table that was decorated with a bunch of food items, making their way towards you, taking turns in hugging you and wishing you the best of wishes you could’ve gotten on your birthday.

“Yo YO why are you cryinngg?” Mark asked, pulling you in for a second hug.

“Listen, princess we really wanted to wish you the first thing today morning, but two weeks prior today, Jaehyun came threatening us” Doyoung started.

“Oh god yes i remember him saying something along the lines like ‘Spoil the surprise i’ll make you write your names with your nose blood’ boy was that scary” Jungwoo added.

“Jaehyun basically kidnapped Taeyong and i to come help pick presents for you, i see my fashion choice is still the best” Johnny stated, playfully checking you out with a smirk on his face.

“Thank you so much” you say between your crying state, laughing as the boys continued whining about how Jaehyun bullied them over your birthday for 2 weeks jokingly.

“You see those boxes Taeyong and I were holding? Those are all from Jaehyun, ours is still in the backseat of our cars” Yuta huffs out, shaking his head at the amount of money he spent on one of your birthdays.

“Here comes Mr.Lover Boy!!” You hear Haechan scream, cutting you off even before you could speak, as you look back to see Taeil and Haechan holding a huge banner with a bunch of words, standing by the entrance of your apartment.

You start reading it, to be stopped and asked to start over again, but louder.

“Dear Y/n, the one who makes my busy days go so much slower, a lot more calmer and definitely a little better, Happiest birthday, my love. Waking up to your peaceful face, clears all bad thoughts from my head, you looking absolutely ethereal in the most minimal things you do makes me smile a lot brighter, Your tiny complains when i leave you melts me completely, your smile sweeps me of my feet. The one thing i want to tell you, You were, are and will forever be the reason of my happiness.-” The boys all hooted, whistling even, when both Haechan and Taeil lowered the banner, to Jaehyun standing there with the biggest smile on his face, a cake in his hand.

“I love you, Y/n” he said the moment he was fully on display “ And i wouldn’t want to imagine a life without you” he handed the cake to Jungwoo who stood beside you.

Pulling you in, wiping the continuously flowing tears from your cheeks as the boys kept cheering. He pulled you in for a long loving kiss, the cheers getting louder with every passing second, Pulling away once the both of you ran out of breath.

Jaehyun held you close, looking at you while holding the entire galaxy in his eyes, the smile revealing his dimples.

“Happy Birthday, Love”

description. you and your coworkers were intensely shocked and sent into an uproar when a large group of idols suddenly came in.

genre. is there even one?? MAMA 2020 AU I GUESS

warnings. nonee

a/n. i dont even know where to start cudndn i just thought it would be funny to vision how it was like when nct went to mcdonalds it’s not the best idea ever but i just wanted to write about it HAHAHA enjoy!! :D

-

Me working part time on a Sunday night went as per usual. Being a cashier at McDonalds couldn’t be any more easier. Well, except for unsatisfied customers and what not, but those were rarely seen at the McDonalds I worked at.

However, I got to know that today was a special day.

“We’re so lucky!” I heard my coworker and also the only friend I have while working, Julie, cried out with her face lit with excitement. I questioned her sudden thrilling attitude with a, “Exactly why are we lucky?”

Julie took in a deep breath. “MAMA 2020 is tonight and the venue is nearby!” She announced, hopping a little in her spot.

I still have yet to understand what she meant. I kept silent and stared at her to urge her to explain further. Julie groaned and shook her head while placing a hand on her forehead.

“It means that we get to see the MAMA participants passing through.” Julie leaned her hip against the edge of the counter where she would hand out the ready made meals.

It took my awhile to process what she said. With the use of my background knowledge, which is mainly Julie blabbering into my ear as well as what she posts often on her social media, I realised that what she meant was that we would be able to see K-pop idols going past to reach the venue of the awards show. I gaped my mouth open and let out an, “Ah...” while I nodded my head in affirmation.

“Wait but you won’t even be able to see them they’ll be in cars.” I added on, tilting my head with furrowed eyebrows as I gave it more thought.

What I said made Julie let out a disappointing sigh and frown. I patted her back when I looked behind to see my other coworker in the back wanting to hand the ready made food to Julie, signalling her with a jerk of my head.

“You think you’ll meet them? In your dreams, Julie.” I let out before attending to the next customer and getting their order.

After awhile, the place slowly got less crowded except for some groups of teenagers who apparently dont go home and could stay till very late.

I thought it was a pretty good time to take out the trash and asked Julie to fill in for me while I did so.

I brought out the bags of trash out of the store and to the parking lot where the large dustbins are at. I then narrowed my eyes and raised an eyebrow in suspicion as I got a clear look of the parking lot.

“Why the fuck are there a bunch of cars here? And people...” I muttered to myself under my breath as I looked at the people standing beside the cars. They look like regular people who were freezing to death due to the cold season of December till a few people step out of the cars wearing suits. I couldn’t exactly identify their faces but they seemed to be people of high class. Very high class.

I could only imagine what the people outside those cars feel like. It already looked extremely cramped due to the numbers of cars parked in the somewhat small parking lot. And they seemed like they needed to stay outside due to the people in the car. I wondered for a moment who could be so important in those cars that they couldn’t take turns being in and out of the car.

I shook my head in disbelief, wondering why I’m digging so much into a situation I wasn’t in. I quickly went back, not wanting Julie to ask me why I was out for such a long time.

“We’re open for 24 hours but the only people who seem to be coming in at 3AM are random teenagers who look like they got nowhere else to go.” Julie commented as I took my place back behind the register.

I exhaled sharply, puffing my chest out for a moment while I looked out to the wide windows of the restaurant that only showed me a dark blank sky. “At least we’ll still get paid without doing much work.” I mumbled as I leaned against the counter with my elbow and placing my chin on my palm.

-

I was casually scrolling through Instagram and Twitter while Julie was playing some kind of mobile game when I heard the bell above the door rang, signalling that someone came into the shop. I didn’t bother looking up to see who it was yet, since I was in the middle of reading an article.

What caught my attention suddenly though was the fact that I didn’t hear only one set of footsteps. I heard a bunch. Like a large group of people coming in one at a time with the bell constantly ringing as more people came in.

Getting irritated by the noise of the bell, I looked up from my phone with an annoyed huff. “What can I get for you-“

I couldn’t complete my sentence as I saw what was in front of me. I blinked my eyes rapidly in awe and tilted my head. They could probably tell I was either in shock or fear (or maybe both) when I heard the guy nearest to the counter said, “We’re sorry to shock you but-“

I placed a hand in front of me to signal him to stop talking as I suddenly heard a ruckus suddenly happening behind me. I turned around and raised both my eyebrows. What happened really added more to the shock and terror I was feeling. I could tell that my other coworkers are radiating the same energy.

“Why did Julie faint?!” My coworker shouted. As my coworkers were trying to see if Julie was alive, one of them turned to me with eyes of worrisome and said, “You go handle those customers.” I heard him say faintly as his voice was overpowered by the bunch of men chattering in the background. 

I nodded my head furiously. I was concerned for Julie yet I knew we had to attend to whoever these people were. I took a deep breath before turning around to meet the eyes of the many... attractive men ahead of me. As I got a closer look of each one of them, my jaw practically dropped to the floor. They’re stunning, was I could think about.

“We’re stunning, we know.” Did he just read my mind or- My thoughts got cut off as I looked up to meet the eyes of a very tall man who had shoulder length blonde hair. I shivered at the amount of height difference between me and him. “Johnny can you please be humble I swear.” 

“I mean it’s true.” The Johnny guy shrugged nonchalantly and folded his arms, turning to me and cocking up an eyebrow. One of them hits his chest, making him wince and glaring at the man. “I’m really sorry there’s 23 of us here and it might sound crazy but we need you to prepare 23 meals.” 

I scoffed in amusement at his words as I looked away from the 23 men in front of me for a moment. “There’s no way...” I muttered as I scanned my eyes across the room, looking at each one of their faces. 

“We’re NCT. You don’t know us?” Another guy came up to me. At this point, the amount of shock I felt couldn’t possibly be described with words. First it was because of the large number of attractive men in suits suddenly came in and now I just got to know that they’re the idols from MAMA 2020 that Julie was talking about. I guess that explained why she fainted. I could barely respond to any of their questions or comments. 

I started to grow annoyed at the amount of chattering that was happening all at once. It felt overwhelming and it seriously stressed me out. As much as I like how suddenly a group of popular idols came in, the place couldn’t get any more chaotic. 

“Okay whoever you are, please tell them to be quiet I can’t take your orders like this.” I said to the same guy who was nearest to me. He brought his head down slightly as an apology. “I’m really sorry o behave of them. I’m Taeyong by the way.” I nodded with a reluctant smile as I watched him turn around to get his members to quieten down. 

I waited as Taeyong gets the orders of his members one by one. I assumed he was the leader of this NCT idol group since he seemed to be one that looks like he’s in charge and the most responsible. After literally 30 minutes of constant discussions and arguments that I honestly had fun watching since I felt that they were just being crackheads have passed that he finally came up to me with a piece of paper. 

I took a look at it as exhaled sharply at the long list of very specific orders that me and my coworkers had to make. I glanced to the back, seeing Julie still unconscious while sitting on a chair with my coworkers surrounding her. 

“Uh this might take awhile.” I turned my head back to the front and looked down at the piece of paper. “Just be quick. We need to get back to our cars soon.” My eyebrows furrowed at his words. “Wait so it was your cars at the parking lot?” Taeyong nodded his head furiously before giving me a bright smile. I blow out the air in my cheeks before telling him to be seated with his other members and going over to my coworkers. 

“Alright. We have the orders. There’s plenty, and they’re specific. It’s going to get hectic. But we need to finish this quick so we can rest for the night. Okay?” 

My coworkers exchanged doubtful looks to each other but soon gave nods of confidence before looking at me with subtle smiles. I gave a bright smile before I clapped my hands once. “Let’s get to work then.” 

With that, everyone set out to do their separate jobs to get the meals done. One by one, the completed meals began to stack up quickly. Though I was only a cashier, I tried my best to help them out with small favours and also arranging the meals on top of the counter. 

As I placed one of the meals on the counters, I took a look at what they were doing. I was definitely stunned by how many tables they filled. Some tables looked small due to the large physique of some of them. 

“Here’s the drinks!” I turned around to see my coworkers carrying a bunch of drinks of various sizes. I quickly took it from him and placed it on the counter. I then grabbed the sheet of paper with the orders and checked the readied meals one by one. Luckily, there were only five meals left and there aren’t any mistakes in the completed ones. 

I shouted to my coworkers in the back that they only had five meals left to do. I smiled to myself as I heard the cheers of my coworkers that encouraged each other to finish their work once and for all.

“Also just a warning.” I turned my body around quickly as I heard a voice. “What?” I asked, a hint of nervousness showed in my tone as I thought of the fact that they might be asking for more meals. “Um Taeyong told me to tell you that there might be another group coming in since they had to wait in the parking lot in cars like us and are probably hungry.” 

“You got to be fucking kidding me-”

“Hey hey no swearing in front of Jisung. He’s still a baby.” Another man appeared behind him as he swung his arm over his shoulders. 

“I’m not a kid anymore, Jaehyun.” The smaller figured man said, ending with a ‘tsk’ and a glare. 

I could only raise an eyebrow at the interaction in front of me but felt a burden starting to rise in me as I thought of what he said. Another idol group? As large as them? My coworkers could literally faint. I turned around to see if Julie had awaken. She was standing up with both her hands covering her mouth. 

“It’s NCT!” Julie shouted, pointing her index finger to the group of men sitting on the tables. “At least she knows us.” One of them said. 

“Oh my god Haechan just talked to me! Holy shit!” Julie jumped in her spot while I raised my eyebrows in amusement. “Can I get Jaehyun’s signature, please?” 

“Julie. Go help the others in the back first.” I told her with a stern tone. Julie suddenly grew quiet with a pout appearing on her lips as she turned to the back and started helping out. 

Soon, all the orders have finally been completed. I looked through to check for errors one last time before calling them out. Taeyong came up and handed me his credit card. It was expensive but I wasn’t surprised since they’re idols and of course they’re rich. 

“Thank you. I’m sorry for putting you and your coworkers through this.” He said as he carried some of the bags while he called out a few others to carry the rest. “Yeah, yeah..” I whispered softly under my breath, just wanting all this chaos to end.

“Wait I need Jaehyun’s signature!” Julie shouted. Jaehyun turned around and gave her a bright smile to her direction. I swore I’ve never seen her this happy But clearly you be this excited when an unreal situation by having your idols show up at your workplace becomes true, 

Jaehyun walked up to Julie who had a pen and paper in her hand. “What’s your name?” He asked. “Kim Julie. Shit you’re so good looking up close.” Julie said with her hand covering her mouth again while Jaehyun signed on the paper she gave. Jaehyun chuckled as he completed signing and gave the paper back to her. She placed it against her chest and bowed her head down and thanking him profusely. Jaehyun gave a smile one last time before joining back to his groups. 

I looked to see why they have yet to leave. I swear I was desperate for some air to breathe due to how crowded it was. I realised that Taeyong as counting the number of members before heading off. It made sense since I could only imagine how hard it is to keep track of twenty three members. It’s like a teacher taking his class on a trip. 

“Nineteen, twenty... Wait where’s Lucas and Doyoung?!” I heard Taeyong shout to his members. The other started looking around with looks of anxiousness in their eyes. “Uh Doyoung’s here.” I couldn’t spot who said that but as soon as the members gave space. I see a guy who looked extremely weirded out at where he was. “Wait aren’t you from Treasure-” 

“Where’s your leader?” 

“Guys Lucas is here.” I turned my head to where the toilet was to see a guy pulling the other by the collar while he shouts in defense to let him go. When the two finally got back to the group, the others looked at him with a suspicious look. “What were you doing in the toilet the whole time?”

“Uh a VLive..?” Lucas raised his both shoulders. “In the toilet? My god.” 

“Okay okay! I got a call from our manager he said we won an award! We need to get going!”

“What about Doyoung?”

“Which one?”

“The one from Treasure. I don’t even know how he ended up here.” 

Taeyong walked up the guy and placed both hands on his shoulders. “I’ll tell your leader that you’re here to come pick you up, okay?” He nodded and took a seat one. 

While one of them opened the door to finally get out, all of the let out gasps of shock and instantly took a bow to whoever was outside.I could hear them exchanging ‘Hello’s while the people outside made way to allow them to come in. I seriously felt like fainting when I see another large group of people walking in. 

“Doyoung you’re here!” Doyoung stood up to greet his members while one of them went up to me. “We need you to prepare 12 meals, please.”

I’m really going to snap someone’s neck.

fuckboy P.1 [m/a/f]

fuckboy!mark being a pain in your ass and trying to get you to fuck him.

GENRE: Smut, light angst and fluff.

MEMBER: Mark Lee (and some other members but this fic is about Mark so)

WORDS: 1.4k

MATERIAL: Since this is only the first part, it’s a little suggestive.

WARNINGS: Mature content, do not interact with this account unless you’re above the age of 18.

*AUTHOR’S NOTE: This was originally a one-parter, but I decided to split it so the ideas won’t get messy or anything.

♡ Mark Lee. A troublemaker you’ve had to deal with since elementary school. Ever since you graduated to highschool. He’s just been a plain fuckboy. Always getting into random girls’ pants, then acting like it never happened. He’s always tried to fuck you, but you wouldn’t budge. Some blondies that hangout by your locker are super jealous of the way he looks at you when you pass by eachother in the hallway and always give you dirty looks for it and talk bad about you, but you couldn’t care less. No one in the school knew why you always reject him, not even your bestfriends. After all, you knew that if you fuck him once, you’ll just end up like all the heartbroken girls he once hit and quit then forgot. ♡

♡ You woke up by the unthrilling sound of your buzzing alarm, slapping it with your palm to get rid of the annoying noise. It was Monday, which wasn’t very thrilling either. You got up, and did your little morning arm stretch, cracking your bones in the process. You quickly got ready to go to school, kissed your mom on the cheek and left. While eating your sandwich on the sidewalk, you see Mark on the opposing sidewalk with a phone in his hands and a bag lazily hung on one shoulder (just like you), not paying attention to anyone walking infront of him. You giggled softly when he accidentally ran into a brunette teenager, but then rolled your eyes when he winked at her. Will he ever stop? No. Would he ever stop? Obviously no. The brunette dropped the eye contact acting all flustered and quickly made her way to wherever she was heading. ♡

♡ You then moved your gaze to the sidewalk concrete floor getting lost in your thoughts when you suddenly feel someone walking next to you. “Hey Y/N.” You heard a familiar voice speak. “What do you want Mark?” you sighed. “Good morning to you too.” He semi-mumbled. “Is it so wrong that I’m trying to have a conversation?” Saying it in the most dramatic way ever. “Go start a conversation with something else, maybe a wall for starters.” You said while smiling at his stupid overreactive reaction. “Sorry I’m trying to be nice.” He said in a high-pitched tone which made you giggle, sighing right after, but of course Mark’s dirty mind heard it in a dirty way. You suddenly saw a tent build up in his pants which surprised you a lot but also didn’t surprise you because come on, it’s M A R K. “MARK!” You kind of yelled while pushing him. “WhaAat?” He yelled back. You looked at his lower body then at his eyes, then he got it. “Ooohhh, Sorry I can’t control my genitals and how they feel!” He said sarcastically. “I can’t believe you, walk alone.” you said in a slight funny and surprised tone. “You really think I’m going away that fast? Heh, you expect too much.” He admit. It was true, I mean, this is Mark Lee we’re talking about. ♡

♡ As soon as you reached the door, a blondie came running to Mark. “Hey Mark! My parents are going on a vacation, and I’m gonna be home alone for a month! Unless you wanna come over..” she said while winking. You literally gagged internally and walked away searching for your friends. The sun’s blinding rays forced you to squint your eyes and raise your eyebrows in attempt to open them and search more clearly. You continue to look around wondering where they sat this time, until you feel a hand poking your shoulder, you could’ve sworn your heart was about to come out of your mouth. “Why the hell is everyone sneaking up on me today?” you whine while facing the person who poked your shoulder. “Oh hey, Johnny!” your face lighted up at the sight of your bestfriend. “Hey! So I really need to head to class but I just came to tell you that if Mark tells you to follow him during lunchtime, don’t. Just don’t. It’s better if I don’t tell you why so you don’t murder him.” He said while giving you a smile as a goodbye. You needed a moment to process his words because he was talking as fast as the speed of light. ♡

♡ 2 periods later, while preparing your art supplies for the next class, you were very confused about the thing Johnny told you earlier. What could Mark possibly want? You thought Johnny and Mark were luring you into a prank or trap or something. He can’t just suddenly pop out of nowhere and tell you this, it just seems sketchy to you. You were knocked out of your thinking by your friend telling you that class started 2 minutes ago while you were zoned out. You let out a short chuckle and walked over to your classroom, you were fairly nervous because right after this class was lunchtime, you made yourself a plan just incase they were trolling you. “Hey uh, can we sit somewhere else during lunchtime? Like under that big tree outside or something.” You persuaded your bestfriend. “Sure, but why?” she asked, puzzled. “Oh, I don’t know, I just wanted us to have fresh oxygen while eating instead of smelling ramen and chicken while I’m eating.” you tried to sound as honest as possible so she won’t catch on. “Alright then.” she said while giggling. Fast forward to lunchtime, you felt like exploding from the amount of nervousness you were feeling, it was literally nauseating. You made your way outside hoping not to bump in Mark or Johnny, or any of their friends. The thought made you shiver. You felt relief as soon as you walked through the school doors and continued to walk to the big ass tree on the field. You sat down and let out a sigh of joy. “Wow Y/N, this place might become our official lunchtime area.” your friend admitted. You giggled in response, opening your container of salad and lemon. ♡

♡ Mark walked into the lunchroom in a confident way for what he was about to do. “You really think your master plan would work?” Jaehyun asked. “Of course it will, Jaehyun, don’t be ridiculous.” Mark answered. “As if any plan you have ever made worked, genius.” Renjun scoffed. They all sat down in anticipation, waiting for you to walk in. “I’m gonna be right back.” Mark got up and speedily walked out of the lunchroom. “Where did he go? I thought he’s was gonna use his master plan on Y/N.” Johnny said, quite confused. “You think he backed down?” Yuta asked. “Come on, you know Mark, he’d never back down, no matter what especially when it comes to her.” Jaehyun said pointing at you through the window. “So that’s where she’s been this whole time and you haven’t said a word?” Renjun said, afraid of Mark’s reaction to Jaehyun’s nonsense. “Calm down, I literally just spotted her.” Jaehyun explained, defending himself. ♡

Mark came back into the lunchroom but didn’t make it pass the door. “Yuta come quickly!” He yelled loud enough for his friends to hear him. Yuta rushed off his chair and quickly followed Mark outside. “See Y/N?” Mark pointed at you, pausing for a moment to admire how the sunlight between the spaces of the leaves illuminated your pretty face. “I need you to go to her and tell her this-“ Mark cut himself off and whispered to Yuta the rest so no one would hear them. “Got it?” Mark asked, unsure if Yuta even heard anything. “Yes, yes I got it.” The boy said, very excited. Yuta walked over to you, hands in pockets. “Y/N, Mark says he really can’t understand this stupid Biology formula and he really needs your help at the library.” Yuta said. “Oh really?” you narrowed your eyes at him. “Well then, tell him to find some other person who’s willing to teach his stupid ass.” You replied, quite proud at your response. “But everyone he asked turned him down.” Yuta tried reasoning with you. “So did I.” You took another spoonful of your salad in hope of him leaving you alone. “It’s really important Y/N, Mr. Saltzman (tvd character lol) is giving him another chance of making his grades better!” Yuta said, very very desperately. “What do I get out of this?” you asked, giving up, knowing he won’t go away until you’ve agreed. “I have no clue, ask him.. and was that a yes??” Yuta bent over so you were face to face. “Fine.. I’ll do it.” You said, completely ignoring Johnny’s warning. ♡

NCT 127 – “Neo City: The Origin” in San Jose (Fan Account - 190509)

Left work at 5:40pm, arrived in San Jose at 7:10, bought chicken nuggets from McDonald’s, and entered the concert hall at 7:50.

Hall feels kind of like a high school auditorium. Was expecting something a little more memorable.

I was kind of nervous and wondering if the $160 would be worth it, but I was excited about it too. Texted BFR and MKT a quick photo and both replied with excitement for me.

Concert begins.

(Cherry Bomb) Took me a little bit to get energized, but the smooth glide, backward fall, and leg split were everything.

NCT lightsticks are bright af. Every time the girl next to me waved hers to my side, I think I went just a little bit more blind lol.

(Chain) Taeyong’s absss. I was trying to fix something on my phone and, BAM! Front and center on the big screen. That shit came out of nowhere >.<

Didn’t have a lightstick this time, so I was just kinda awkwardly standing there. People around me must’ve thought I was the quietest kpop fan ever. But in my head I was hyped xD

(Ment #1) Taeyong really knows how to pump up a crowd—from his stretched out “Ohhh yeahhhh” that reclined into a sexy, throat-deep groan to his vocalized sports tournament siren after introducing his name. And his little fumble when trying to say “lifetime memories” was cute.

(Fly Away with Me) Ugh, this song put me in a mood. And Taeyong’s bouncing dance moves. He does them really nice.

(Back 2 U) Yuta’s vocals o.o And Taeyong’s soft swag throughout.

Not as many Taeyong stans as I thought, but definitely one behind me. I relate to her every time she screams for him when he does something remotely sexy and the crowd is quiet in obliviousness xD

(City 127) Slower song and Taeyong’s still not able to sit still. He was the only one who stood up and danced around for his part, and he continued to wiggle around in his chair after that xD :3

(Angel) So. Much. Skinship. Taeyong scooting his chair over to Jaehyun and being all squishy, touchy, and adorable with him. More with Yuta & Doyoung, and Jungwoo & Haechan. The line, “I’ll be your morning star” gave me all the feels. I eventually found myself swaying along.

(Jet Lag + more) Yuta’s slow, emotional hair flip and his unrelenting cuteness. If Taeyong doesn’t do it first, this kid might just kill me >.<

(Ment #2) Yuta being cute af and possibly throwing some random Japanese in there? xD

(No Longer) Definitely falling for Taeil’s voice.

So many Taeil, Haechan and Jaehyun stans.

(Regular) Taeyong’s sex faces live are killing me.

(Wake Up) The bars have come out. Hyped by Taeyong’s “Are you ready San Jose!” and subsequent ‘yeah’s and ‘whoo’s and arm pumping dance.

(Baby Don’t Like It) Taeyong literally coming in like a pimp on top of the bars. Sunglasses, posture, attitude, and all lmao.

(Mad City) The vibrations man, the fucking building was shaking.

(Good Thing) Taeyong’s outlandishly flamboyant paint-splatter suit, wtf xD Also his moonwalk is so fucking smooth. Yuta is adorably bouncy in his cute yellow sweater.

Seeing Taeyong’s sex faces in person is ridiculous (part 2).

…is Yuta my bias wrecker?

Chipmunk voices on the mic… (Started with Mark’s mic during Mad City and continued randomly throughout)

Changing lightstick colors with the music. Didn’t expect that to happen here. For some reason I thought it was only a Korea/Japan thing lol.

(Superhuman) The superior song. Always fall for that head snap in the beginning.

I was watching Taeyong for most of the concert, but I swear I saw Taemin’s face flash by for like half a second. I think the desperation to see Taemin live is getting too strong xD

(Ment #4) I fucking looked up and Taeyong had taken half of his sparkly jacket off during the ment. Guns fully loaded. Biceps at the ready. But my poor heart wasn’t >.< Haechan speaking Korean for the first time during the concert kind of made it more real that I was watching Korean idols who had traveled halfway across the world to perform in front of me. Taeyong and his backwards visor and casual black clothes is fucking hot. Taeil getting embarrassed when Johnny told him to growl and flex his muscles one more time, adorable :3 Taeyong did clapping push-ups, aegyo-ed, and fucking dabbed in the span of 20 seconds >.< Jaehyun asking if we’re ready to “get hot.” Boy, I’ve been steaming for an hour now (both literally and figuratively lol. Couldn’t find the time to take off my coat xD)

(Summer 127) The resonance and vibrations from the bass line had me shaking (in a good way). Taeyong’s front group seemed a little lost in the music when they finally went back into choreography—they kept looking at each other like “uh…” and wiggled their arms around aimlessly until it matched everyone else lol. Taeyong went HARD during this song. His panting had me thrown, and he rapped so hard his fucking vein popped out.

(Ment #5) Doyoung’s adorably cheesy fortune cookie story. Fortune cookie read, “You will touch the hearts of many.” Generic but absolutely true ^^ Taeyong’s pouty face before his ending speech. And he put his hands together, almost in prayer, when thanking his fans. It was so heartfelt and sweet.

(Pre-0 Mile) Taeyong’s switch from his soft voice when correcting the crowd’s move for “mine mine” to his deep, loud, crowd-pumping voice at the final “girl you’re just mine mine!” I love his duality. And the way he turned around to walk to the back of the stage for 0 Mile. Hot.

(0 Mile) Taeyong being a mom and picking up Doyoung after he fell to the ground trying to protect his abs xD He’s such a sweetheart <3

For the last three-ish songs, Taeyong was super energetic and hyped for the performances. It got me hyped too.

Their “San Jose is a real vibe-killer~~” xD

Someone threw a rose at Taeyong when they were walking from the left side audience to thank the right side, and he got adorably flustered. He fumbled with the rose a little bit, but he did manage to catch it.

Taeyong picked up the rose he had put down earlier to hold his members’ hands and bow. He was being such a tease with it, putting it sexily in his mouth, tango style, and turning around and pausing every two steps to pose with it. He also put on an adorable “San Jose” beauty pageant sash before posing with the rose and heading off stage. He was the last member to leave and he kept dorking around and teasing his fans, it was so freakin cute >.< (Side note: Found out later he was recently crowned “in charge” of their San Jose stop, which is why he had the sash.)

That ending^ was all I needed to make that whole concert worthwhile. I love you Taeyong <3

Concert ended at 10:40pm. Walked back to my car and drove home listening to nothing but NCT songs.

Post-concert thoughts: In the beginning, it felt like I was just watching another random concert. I was also hesitant about going even before that because I only really listened to about half the songs on the setlist. But I realized there’s something about concert settings that just makes everything sound amazing. The concert eventually evolved into something more meaningful and that I was super spazzy about and into (probably triggered by something Taeyong did lol), but it got so much more exciting after that and I loved it.

P.S. Taeyong’s shirt was sheer????

Calum Hood, My boys

summary : Calum, the dogs and you have a day out

warnings : flufffffff

word count : 975

    Calum had just got back from a long song writing session, all the way in New York City. He loved traveling but he hated being away from you. The second he got back to your shared apartment the two of you were cuddled into bed with Duke and your new puppy Norman. The both of you went and got him before Cal’s trip to New York. He was a little mutt the same size as Duke, before Cal left he was worried the two would not get along and the first few days they were weary of one another but now they were inseparable. Norman a little ball of golden red fur laid on your lap, and Duke on Calums. No matter what Calum will always have a favorite. You even joke that he loves Duke more than he loves you. He denies it of course but no one believes him, not even the fans.

    “We should go somewhere,” You huff, bored. Calum looks at me from his phone and nods.

    “Where do you wanna go?” He clicks of his phone and resituates himself, still keeping Duke in his arms but facing towards you.

    “How about the P-A-R-K?” You spell it out so the dogs don’t hear it, but both of their ears pop up showing that they understand. Calum nods and you both move to get out of bed, the dogs shoot up and bolt for the door.

        The four of you now walked on a long path around a field in the middle of nowhere really. There is one family here having a picnic at the opposite end of the field. So we let the boys off leash to play for a bit. Cal throws a ball for them, I sit on a blanket reading. Norman became bored being the old man he is he came and sat at my feet, once Duke noticed his friend was gone he soon followed. Cal plops next to me.

    “Traitors,” He scoffs kinda sounding hurt. All three boys now fighting for a place on your lap. Calum picks up Norman and Duke, one in each hand. He lays his head on your lap and places the two pups on his chest. You have since put the book down and have one hand running through Calums hair and the other petting with Norman. Calum is running his fingers through Dukes longer fur.

    “My boys,” you whisper. You then stop petting Norman, pull out your phone and take a picture at the perfect angle you get all three of the boys in the picture. You post it with the caption. ‘My Boys’ Within literal seconds it was circling not only instagram and twitter.

    An hour later the four of you were packed back up into the car on your way back to the house. The two dogs were in the back seat, you both obviously in front. Calum had his hand rested in yours like always. Johnny Cash played on the speakers, you had all the windows open. Your right hand was out the window and you had your head rested on the door. You were wearing one of Calum’s old flannels and a pair of his Raybans. He kept glancing at you. He hadn’t told you yet but you knew. He loved you and you loved him.

    “Hungry?” he asks you. You lift your head and you yell over the music and the sound of the road,

    “Duh,” you laugh. You pull into some fast food restaurant. The two furballs try to make their way to the front at the mention of food. You get a milkshake and fries and Cal gets a burger and fries. Also a four pack of nuggets for the dogs, you roll your eyes. He parks in the parking lot with the food for the four of you. He carefully peels the breading up from the chicken and gives it to the dogs before starting on his own meal. Heart attack in a bun. Its covered in bacon and cheese. He had devoured the sandwich before you have even finished half of the milkshake. You laughed lightheartedly at the curly haired kiwi across from you. He currently has a fistful of fries in his mouth. He was just smiles.

    “Take a picture,” but it was just a muffled jumble of words. You pull out your phone and take a few pictures. He ends up finishing both his meal and your fries. Once he finished he pulled out of the parking lot and you headed home.

    Being the ‘instagram model’ you are you had posted your guy’s day. Now there was pictures from your day all over the internet and some people hated it. Others shipped you harder. You two had been doing this for years but the comments still get to you. Many of them saying it was for publicity or that you were in it for the money or fame.

    “You know babe, they’re just jealous,” I nod. Tears still clouding your vision. “You know I was going to do something today but I never found the right opportunity.” He slipped off the couch, on one knee and wrapped his hand around yours. “Y/N I have been in love with you from the second I saw you front row on tour. I knew the second I ran into you twice in one day, even if you were stalking me that you were the one for me.” He pulled a ring out of his pocket. Tears were streaming down your face at this point, you had the biggest smile on your face and before he could ask you were in his arms screaming yes. He just laughed. When you separated he slipped the ring on your finger and connected again with a kiss. “Now post that on instagram,” He jokingly laughed.

MASTERLIST

Steve couldn’t believe how lucky he was. Even if it had been a whole year since you accepted being his girlfriend, it wouldn’t pass a day when he didn’t have to pinch himself to believe that you loved him. He remembered the day he asked you out like it was yesterday, you had just come back from a mission with Natasha. Both of you were okay but everybody knew how dangerous the mission had been. That’s why the moment you stepped down the quinjet, Steve hurried and took you in his arms, hugging you tight against his chest, relieved to see you alive.

You two had already been out a couple of times but nothing serious, just some stolen kisses, some hidden looks and smiles but he never had the courage to pop up the question. Not until that night when he saw you coming back from the balcony at midnight.

“Are you okay?” He asked you, making you stop slightly startled since you hadn’t seen him coming. The moment you saw him, a smile appeared on your face.

“I’m fine” you shrugged. “I couldn’t sleep so I went to get some air” you added. He nodded with the hands in the pockets on his sweatpants. “Goodnight Steve” you smiled at him.

“Wait…” he said grabbing your arm when you walked by his side. Still smiling, you looked up at him, waiting. “I’m so glad you’re back” he told you in a whisper.

“And I’m glad to be back” you agreed facing him. “I missed you” you admitted with a shrug.

“Did you?” He asked with surprise. You laughed and nodded again, taking a small step forward. “I missed you too” he replied with a sigh. “And…while you’ve been away, I thought about asking you something” he said awkwardly.

“Shoot, Captain” you bite your lip, slowly getting lost in his eyes.

“I like you…a lot” he stated. Your smile grew a bit more before you nodded. You knew that, just like he knew you felt the same way. “And… damn, this is hard” he laughed nervous, looking down.

“Just let it out, stop overthinking everything” you said. He took a deep breath and looked up at you, feeling his heart suddenly beating faster.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” He blurted out.

At the beginning you said nothing, surprised by the sudden question. It wasn’t like you hadn’t thought about it, you had. A lot. But you thought he was too cautious to ask. Still, it made you laugh and you wrapped your arms around his neck.

“Making that question is so ten years ago” you teased him. He rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around you unconsciously.

“Just answer me” he smirked.

“Of course I’ll be your girlfriend, Steve” you finally answered before closing the space between you two and kissed him.

Surprisingly, that had happened a whole year ago and every day he had fallen more and more in love with you and every little thing you did.

That morning he woke up to an empty bed, which surprised him since you loved staying in bed until late. He rolled around the bed, trying to listen to the shower or to any other movement in the room, but he was all alone. With a sigh, he sat up and rubbed his face before getting up and walking to the bathroom where he splashed some water on his face. Then, he put on the sweatpants that were laying on the floor and a white t-shirt before leaving the room.

He didn’t have to go too far to find you since you were in the kitchen. He saw you had your headphones in so you wouldn’t have listened to him coming in. With a smile, he leaned against the door frame and just looked at you dancing from one way to another while you made breakfast, probably pancakes judging by what you were mixing. Your hair was up in a bun and you were wearing some shorts along with another one of his t-shirts, like you did every single morning. He loved it, just as much as he loved watching you dance.

“Steve, I don’t dance”

That had been the first sentence you had told him the moment you two stepped into the club after Wanda, Natasha, Sam and Thor. You had decided to show the God of Thunder how Midgardians partied and everything had been fine till the moment of going into a club.

“Yes, you do” he said not letting go of your hand. “I saw you a hundred times while making breakfast” he added.

“First, I didn’t know you were a stalker”, you said making him laugh. “And second, that’s different!”

“No, it’s not, c’mon” he said, not listening to any more complaining as he dragged you to the dance floor.

Once there he made you spin before pulling you towards him. Your hands moved to his shoulders and his to your hips, moving them against yours with a small smile. You closed your eyes, not believing what you were doing but dancing against him anyway.

“Let loose!” He exclaimed in your ear.

You looked at him for a moment, thinking about it, until you decided you weren’t drunk enough to dance. So instead you hugged him and kissed him, knowing that would distract him from dancing. Indeed, when you decided to pull away, Natasha showed up with drinks for both of you.

“Later” he said in your ear before you two went to the table where everyone else was.

He remembered how much it had taken him to convince you to dance but once you started, there was no way to stop you. He also being mesmerized by your movement up until that day. He just couldn’t take his eyes from you as you moved around the kitchen. He knew he could spend the day just like that, but of course you ended up turning around and seeing him, which made you stop all movement.

“Steve!” You exclaimed surprised before turning off the music. “How long have you been there?” You asked narrowing your eyes.

“Long enough” he replied, now walking into the kitchen to take off your headphones and pulling you in for a kiss. “Happy anniversary” he whispered against your lips. You smiled sweetly and kissed him back.

“Happy anniversary” you said back. “I hope you’re hungry!” You exclaimed turning to keep on doing the mix for the pancakes. Steve stood by your side, leaned against the counter as he watched you cooking. “Please, can you put that hair away?” You asked him with your hands full of flour.

Steve laughed and moved some strands of your hair behind your ear, something he spent way too much time doing. But he had to admit he loved seeing your frustrated face when you found yourself annoyed by the same strand of hair on your face, especially when your hair was wet and it became impossible to control.

One day you had decided to go and dinner date, just the two of you and had also the great idea of coming back to the tower taking a walk around New York. Everything had seemed perfect until it started raining out of nowhere, just when you had no place to hide.

“You have to be kidding me” Steve laughed, holding your hand tighter and ready to run but you stopped him. “What are you doing?” He asked.

“Have you ever been kissed on the rain?” You asked with a smile, not moving from where you were.

“No, to be honest” he laughed. “I tend to run from rain” he shrugged, still trying to make you move.

“Then you should stop and enjoy the rain, this is pure nature and we’re surrounded by too much human influence to remember the beauty of it” you said with a shrug. Steve raised an eyebrow, looking at you as he thought that you had gone completely mental. “Plus, I want my damn kiss on the rain Steven!” You suddenly exclaimed.

Your outburst made him laugh but he immediately took a step closer and placed both hands on your hair, pulling you in for a slow kiss just like you wanted in: in the rain. Your hands moved to his hips and you moved closer, enjoying the feelings of his lips on yours and the rain on your skin.

“I love you” you whispered for the first time when you broke the kiss. His eyes shinned at your words and he kissed you again, deeper this time.

“I love you too” he said back after a few moments.

You smiled and took his hands from your face, holding them together as you started walking again towards the tower, with a huge smile on both of your faces.

You served breakfast for the both of you and took a seat at the kitchen table while Steve made some orange juice.

“So what do you want to do today?” He asked when he took a seat in front of you.

“We’re going to Orland” you shrugged. Steve looked at you in surprise, trying to remember when you had made those plans.

“Are we?” He asked.

“Yes” you shrugged. “I want to see the Harry Potter themed park” you explained.

“Did we talk about it and I was drunk?” He laughed, making you laugh as well.

“I just decided it to be honest” you informed him.

Steve thought about talking some sense into you, trying to make you see that you just couldn’t go to Orland for the day. But he knew better than that already since it wasn’t the first time you decided to drop everything and do some crazy trip out of the blue. He laughed to himself as he remembered the time you decided you wanted a pizza from Chicago and you literally stole the quinjet just to get one from that city. Tony still gave you some remarks about that night.

“Okay then” Steve shrugged. “Orlando it is” he laughed.

“Good” you smiled widely. “I thought you would make a whole scene about how we can’t just leave”

“I was but I’ve learned to love these things” he said with a smile.

“What things?” You asked with a frown full of confusion.

“Your spontaneity” he shrugged. “I mean, I love all of you: how you dance when no one is looking, how you hold my hand when we’re walking down the streets, how you hold me tight every night when we sleep, all the crazy things you say and do, how you don’t care about what people think, your laugh, your hair out of place and, specially, how you wrinkle up your nose when you think I’m being too cheesy”

You started laughing at the last thing you said, not even being away of you doing it and then sighed. You looked at him with a small smile on your face, not even knowing how you got this lucky, what you did to deserve this guy in front of you. But there you were, after a year of laughter, of little fights, after a year of history…just as in love as the first day. Or maybe even more.

“You’re an idiot” you mumbled looking down at your pancakes.

“I love you too” he winked, making you smile even more when you looked at him.

The Namibia/Panama Crossings Part Two: The Desert, Day 1.

DAY 1: Namibgrens to the Erongo region - 28.5 miles  (AKA ‘The Naivety of the British Runner EXPOSED’) 

I love 5.30 am starts, which is lucky because that’s basically the deal for the next week. Yes reader, 5.30am is a time. A real time. That people get up. 

Kit on and bags packed, and it’s off for breakfast for musli and yoghurt and then straight into the car for me and Darren. Jim and Danni get on their bikes for the first leg of the bike ride. They are starting 100km behind us. We will drive 100km to the edge of the desert and start the run there. We won’t see Jim, Pete and Danni for 2 days now. It’s emotional, but we deal with it. If they want to cheat it’s up to them. They have to live with that decision. And boy, does Jim live with it…. (TBC)

After an hour in the car we get to the edge of the Namib-Naukluft Park and the giant NO ENTRY sign. There’s a gate, but one of the team has left the key to the padlock at the office 200km away in Walvis Bay. So we do what we always do, and knock the fence down. We put it up again. It’s all good. The government said we could do it. What are the laws on guns here again? 

Seems legit.....

Darren and I have had a brief discussion about running together. It’s hard when you don't know someone that well - or when you do, and know that they are faster than you (which is what I know about Darren). I say 10 min miles are my jam, which they are for these longer back to backs and Darren agrees he can deal with that. I am talking about 10 min miles in the UK on trails in about 12 degrees. Our 10 min mile plan lasts just that. About 10 mins to a mile. 

We start running on a gravel path - it’s pretty runable, soft in places, and it’s a cool morning - cloudy and not too hot - so we manage about 6 miles in about an hour - a pretty good pace. With one support vehicle in front of us and one behind, we have access to our kit and fresh water and food pretty much all the time. It’s great! I am still running with a small pack and a bladder - I am obsessed with running out of water. 

First part of the day looks do-able....

We trot on through the never ending gravel plains and then, suddenly from nowhere there is a big group of animals running as a pack. They look like ponies BUT THEY ARE ZEBRAS! Wondrous mountain zebras, stampeding along and crossing in front of us. A literal Zebra crossing. Amazing. There are some big cats in the area, so we keep and eye out to see if it’s a chase, but don’t spot anything. Seeing these animal up close like that, just doing what they do is astonishing and we don't take it for granted. 

Zebra Crossing!!!!!

Also out on the plains that morning were Oryx’s - great big deer type creature with huge spiked horns and long fluffy tails. They’re very shy and they can run FAST. We also see a couple of little sidewinder snakes and some fun new crickets we’d not seen before. Our “taking photos of everything” habit is slowing our pace, so we try to crack on. 

Snake holes.....

New Pal......

We keep running, with more walk breaks now. It’s getting hotter - it’s becoming obvious that we can’t keep up a flat 10 min mile pace for the whole day. The clouds clear and the sun comes out with a vengance. It’s 9am and boiling. 

Our first hill appeared in front of us, a long, slow rising dune made of red sand. There’s a burnt car - the remains of a poachers vehicle left in the sand; a reminder not to break the rules. An eerie sight in a beautiful landscape. At the top of the hill we get our first view of the red dunes. And what fun they were. Soft and fluffy - these are the small guys - we power up them and speed down them.

Views..... (get used to this....)

As we cross, we also get our first high view of the desert sprawling in front of us. It was magical and terrifying. At the top of the hill, under a tree lay the remains of a Springbok, bleached white by the sun. Possibly left in the tree by the triumphant cat that caught it, with the carcass dropping as various animals made the most of a good meal. It was a very real reminder of what happens when you are left alone out here. 

That’s what dehydration can do to ya.....

Danny and David realised the ‘road’ they had plotted was now no longer passable, as the dunes had moved and were too soft to drive on. This was highly amusing for myself and Darren, who got to watch them attempt to get the cars up the new mega deep, fresh dunes. Those guys are some of the best drivers I have ever seen. What they do with those cars is MENTAL and they never (well barely ever) get it wrong. The tracks from the support trucks lead the way for us to run - but running IN the tracks of the cars is difficult - they make the sand soft and moveable. The tracks serve only to show us the way-ish - we can run alongside them or cut across plains. As long as we have the trucks in sight it’s cool. And losing them actually freaks you out a bit. 

We decide to run off road and do an explore - trotting over dunes in the general direction that Danny and David pointed us in while they sorted truckgate. This meant negotiating spiky bushes, snake holes. lizard guys, big cat prints and dunes, not necessarily in that order, in rising heat. We kept on pushing and pace was good for the terrain. Darren though he saw some ostriches but it because clear these were actually a steel posts. Heat brain was setting in. 

Spot the car.....

Lunch was served at about 14 miles, in a small makeshift tent that Danny, David and Johnny had erected on the path for us - cold water down the back and on the head, bread, meat, cheese and GERKINS YES GERKINS were on the menu. I took a second to take in what was actually happening here. A picnic in hell or heaven? I dunno. It was one of the best lunch spots I’ve ever stopped at though…..

Lunch - doesn’t look that hot. Was fucking boiling. 

After the refuel, we set off again. It was getting really tough now, with heat peaking in the late 30’s between 1 and 3pm and zero wind. It was also getting sandier, which sounds stupid when you consider where we are but it WAS getting sandier! Elevation was also on the up. It’s easy to decide  try and give everything to the run in these conditions, but I was constantly reminding myself that we had another 3 days of this and we had to respect the distance. Oh yeah, then we had a good 250-300km to do in Panama. We ran and marched through another 15 miles of beautiful but essentially non-descript hill dunes. We ran past a small dune filled with big holes, and out popped a desert jackal (possibly one of the cutest things on earth) He should have been asleep really, and he couldn’t believe his bulgy eyes. I imagined him running back down into the maze of tunnels to tell the other jackals what he’d seen outside and them saying “go back to sleep Dave, you’re drunk”. 

Hello little pal! 

Eventually we saw the trucks had stopped at the top of a huge dune - we were 28 miles in to what was supposed to be a 30 mile day and we were all knackered. Doing that distance is one thing, doing it in sand and heat, without a rest day after 24 hours travel is another. We decided as a team to add on the extra couple of miles to tomorrow and try an get out heads down for the night. At the top of the dune, we downed tools and took in the the view of the valley below. Zebras and oryx’s were grazing as the sun set. It was Lion King beautiful.

I’ve camped in worse spots.....

Tent life.....

Our crew set up camp as we dealt with the important issue of re-hydration with a beer, a sit down and foot check. The make-do camp shower looked out across the plains. The toilet took in some of the most beautiful views on earth. We were so lucky to be there. 

That night as we settled down for a bolognese dinner, an huge owl flew over camp and drew our attention to something larger sloping down the hill. To the amazement of Danny (who has been working in the desert for over 25 years) it was the extraordinarily rare brown mountain hyena. He was trotting down the dune towards camp. We could just about make out his distinctive shape and he was obviously curious about the smells and sounds. He had probably never seen human beings before.  It was mesmerising. In his 25 years Danny has only ever seen 4-5 of these creatures and we get him on the first night. I swore it was because I was a dog person, and hyena guy could tell. 

After dinner we sit round camp and chat and then it’s bed. First day done, feet looking good and bellies full. Onwards to day 2.

[fandomscenariosforyou]

Can you do a preference where that they are married after the war. Please. -AnonHey so idk if you’ve done one already, but band of brothers proposals preferences? - @becauseflifeHey Jax I’m really sorry if I’m bothering you 😬 Could I have a BoB preference for what song you slow dance to? - @herewegoagainniall 

Richard Winters:

First Dance: Unforgettable-Nat King Cole

This dork of course is gonna plan some special trip and once your attention is taken back by some amazing landmark or architecture, he is on his knee and whispering that you’re more beautiful than anything ya’ll saw.

Lewis Nixon:

First Dance: Thinking Out Loud-Ed Sheeran

He is so nervous that he is just gonna be himself and pull it out of nowhere ‘Wanna hold onto this for me?’ and it leaves you confused which only makes him smile more, especially when your yes comes out as a question.

Carwood Lipton:

First Dance: All Of Me-John Legend

I love the idea of really nervous rambly Lipton so he gets into a groove and then loses it causing him to ramble on about why you should marry him until you’re laughing and nodding enough for him to get the message.

Denver ‘Bull’ Randleman:

First Dance: Everything I Do-Bryan Adams

Randleman is a very feel the moment kind of guy so there is no nervousness it’s just flat out ‘I love you and let me tell you why and let me tell you every day’ also I love the idea of it being in the idea because you both get caught in it and he can’t help but look at you okay I’ll stop

Joe Toye:

First Dance: I Can’t Help Falling In Love-Elvis Presley

OKAY LOOK-Toye loves to sing and though he may not be the best at it, I can totally see him singing to his S.O. just to make it different and special (bonus if his S.O. is trying not to laugh and he’s all stuttery and laughing along)

George Luz:

First Dance: Lucky-Colbie Caillat, Jason Mraz

Luz is gonna get your hopes up and then joke about it at the last minute to just see you smile and then he gets suuuuuuuper gushy and will leave you in tears by the time you say yes

Eugene Roe:

First Dance: Lay Me Down- Sam Smith

One of you most likely got hurt (even if it was a baby scratch) and he’s like ‘look I don’t have a ring but I can’t stand the thought of losing you and I need to make sure you’re always by my side’ and the attention goes to you saying yes rather than the blood on both of your uniforms

Joseph Liebgott:

First Dance: Iris-The Goo Goo Dolls

Liebgott is gonna bring back up some snarky comment he made when you first met or got to know each other and incorporate it into his proposal and let’s be honest he gets teary eyed when he finally gets to saying your full name before popping the question

Lynn ‘Buck’ Compton:

First Dance: Make You Feel My Love-Adele

He gets the boys to help him because he knows how much they care for you both and knew it would make you melt; it completely throws you off when every boy in the company got out their dress greens just to make it ‘fancy’

Donald Malarkey:

First Dance: Kiss Me-Ed Sheeran

Malarkey is the ‘wow so I’ve had this ring for weeks waiting for the right moment but you look stunning right now so what do i have to lose’ and does it when you’re doing the simplest thing with this ridiculous smile on his face

Warren ‘Skip’ Muck:

First Dance: Somewhere Only We Know-Keane

He definitely makes a sign or big portrait out of pictures of the both of you or little quotes/banter between the two of you and he is standing there with a rose in his hand, the ring sitting in the center and he is so nervous he forgets to get down on his knee

Bill Guarnere:

First Dance:L-O-V-E-Nat King Cole

It starts with Guarnere thinking to himself what he really wants and all he can think about is how he wants you and he just blurts out ‘Let’s get married, tonight.’ with the most confident smile you think you have ever seen because it’s the only thing he’s really sure of

Darrell ‘Shifty’ Powers:

First Dance: White Blood-Oh Wonder

Shifty goes off on this long speech about how you have impacted him and how the only shot he has at happiness is being with you because after all this time you have became happiness in its entirety to him (you’’ probably have to shut him up with a kiss)

Frank Perconte:

First Dance: Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You-Frankie Valli

He starts it as a game ‘catch whatever I slide to you’ and then suddenly it’s a diamond ring and he is looking at you with those puppy dog eyes and half smile ‘so…what do you say?’

Ronald Speirs:

First Dance: You and Me-Lifehouse

He is so nervous omg it’s terrible he starts off good but then it fizzles into ‘okay I’m terrible with words and we all know this so I’m just gonna say it’) the proposal literally takes 10 seconds because he is so ready to get this butterfly feeling out of his stomach

Edward ‘Babe’ Heffron:

First Dance: La Vie En Rose-Louis Armstrong

It’s sweet and intimate and he is sweet and nervous but somehow finds all the right words to take your breath away and leave you with no words which leads you to just nodding your head and trying not to smile too wide

Chuck Grant:

First Dance: At Last-Etta James

You’re just doing what you usually do and for some reason he just blurts out ‘Will you marry me?’ and you’re like um?? and after he processes when he just said he’s like ‘wait no I mean it!! I’ll get a ring and everything’ it’s a spur of the moment but it’s absolutely perfect

Floyd Talbert:

First Dance: Perfect-Ed Sheeran

What a drama queen, he strides into the room with a tux on all confidently and just glides onto his knee, smirking at how your face looks during this whole montage ‘I’m pretty sure you know where I’m going with this so’ and he will drag out your name just to see you roll your eyes and make him get to the point already

David Webster:

First Dance: Thousand Years-Christina Perri

Romance geek! Lights candles, lays out rose petals, and makes sure its only the two of you because he wants it to be raw and intimate and before he can even get out the sentence his voice is cracking because it just feels so right

Harry Welsh:

First Dance: The Way You Look Tonight-Tony Bennett

His proposal is so sweet and he has tears streaming down his face which causes you to bend down and wipes the tears away ending the proposal in you both on the ground crying with sweet words whispered between the two of you

Alex Penkala:

First Dance: You Make Me Smile-Uncle Kracker

He proposes with a ring pop and don’t even tell me he doesn’t! It’s dorky and sweet and he doesn’t take these things super seriously he wants it to be a playful and pure moment

Wayne ‘Skinny’ Sisk:

First Dance:I’M Yours-Jason Mraz

You will both be having a casual conversation and he’s like ‘you’re my best friend you know? I want you to be my best friend forever’ he’s laughing at your expression and how unbelievably taken off-guard you are

Johnny Martin:

First Dance: When A Man Loves A  Woman-Percy Sledge

Martin is a funny case it’s probably due to you being flirted with or sarcastic banter and he just shouts ‘Marry me already! I hate the idea of you being with anyone else’ and it ends with him roughly pushing his lips against yours before you can even say yes

Donald Hoobler:

First Dance: Truly Madly Deeply-Savage Garden

Hoob probably surprises you with a gift and hides in the room as you enter and gets on his knee behind you waiting to see you jump and hands fly up to cover your mouth in shock at this little bean

[planettaeil]

• and your relationship with Johnny is definitely #goals

• ok so everything started when he saw you drooling over him backstage 

• you were so star strucked you literally forgot to close your mouth when he walked past you 

• “hi are u okay?” He asked out of concern (or curiosity lol) 

• and you wanted the ground to swallow you bc the embarrassment is too much 

• but don’t worry Johnny thought it was so cute ☺️

• you tried to act cool but somehow ended up saying one of the most embarrassing things you’ve ever said in your life 

• “sorry I drooled you were just so hot onstage”

• “oh god I’m sorry I said that”

• cue the laughing fit from johnny 

• “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that" 

• you made a huge impression on johnny and now he can’t stop thinking about you

• he spent the whole day searching for your name and asking people about you around the company 

• and when he found out who you were, he couldn’t contain his excitement and immediately asked for the other members’ help

• he’s a pretty confident lad but when it comes to you, he just can’t seem to have the guts to ask you out

• he’ll probably ask jaehyun to talk to you tho 

• “jeffrey man help me ask her out”

• “idk ‘bout that she might end up falling for me instead”

• so yeah jaehyun decided to help the poor guy but instead he asked you to play along with him while johnny’s watching a few feet away from you like a creep

• “help me tease johnny im just so tired of his shy ass” he whispered as he discreetly looked behind him (just to make sure Johnny knows nothing about his plan)

• “his shy what?”

• “just act like you are falling in love with me”

• “how am i supposed to do-”

• “juST IMAGINE ME AS JOHNNY I know u like him ugh" 

• “but i don’t like him tho??” #lies

• so yeah you ended up playing along with jae and after a few seconds of your fake heart eyes to him, johnny popped out of nowhere and pushed jaehyun off you

• “dammit jaehyun i didn’t ask u to make her fall in love with you!?!!”

• you were absolutely confused about the whole thing

• so johnny ended up pulling you outside instead and asked you out on a date without Jaehyun’s help

• you’ll probably hear Jaehyun’s faint “ABOUT TIME JOHNNY” inside the building 

• “what’s up with that guy teasing me so much ugh” Johnny complained 

• so fast forward and now johnny’s like the happiest guy ever 

• you’ll probably have jaehyun teasing you two

• so expect a lot of knowing looks from him with Johnny trying to kick his ass 

• there’s never a dull moment with Johnny

• he definitely knows how to have fun  

• he can somehow make staring at the table fun whenever you two are alone

• you spend most of your time laughing with him

• he loves resting his chin on top of your head with his arms tightly wrapped around your shoulders 

• likes the fact that he towers over you

• a big fan of back hugs and kisses on the cheeks 

• he loves talking sht about the other members with you in english 

• “i want to beat up haechan so much”

• “what’s up with winwin’s hair”

• likes to crack jokes that aren’t even funny 

• cue all your fake laughs

• “you seemed to be hanging out with Taeyong these past few days”

• “did he teach you that fake laugh?”

• “should I laugh more then?“ 

• "come on! It’s funny (Y/N)!”

• “ha ha ha ha ha”

• but actually, Johnny is a very funny guy.. You just love messing with him

• and..is it even possible to fall in love with him again and again and again? 

• he’s the type to record his own voice singing, or shall I say screaming “HO HO WAKE ME UP THIRSTY THIRSTY FOR LOVE” and set it as the alarm tone on your phone 

• he loves calling you everyday just to check on you

• and he’s so cheesy too like ugh

• one time he randomly told you he’s planning to marry someone in the future and have like a dozen of kids 

• you were kinda confused like “is he talking about another girl?”

• but then he pulled out the mirror and said “that’s her. I’m gonna marry her one day" 

• "oh my god youngho what the hell" 

• but the other members heard him and can’t stop making the gagging noise 

• "I’ll be back. I suddenly felt sick” Donghyuck probably 

• Johnny likes being touchy in public 

• expect lots and lots of kisses, holding hands, hugs in public 

• a big fan of showing you off for everyone to see 

• calls you baby, sweetheart, jagi, honey, or even lollipop (ugh) this boy just loves calling you these sweet petnames 

• sends random texts in the middle of the night 

• “babe yellow or blue”

• “johnny it’s 1 in the morning wtf do you want”

• “JUST CHOOSE ONE”

• “ILL CHOOSE TO SLEEP NOW GTFO" 

• but he’s only asking you that because he’s preparing something (probably a yellow or blue teddy bear, etc.)

• loves showing off the new dance steps he learned to you  

• "ew johnny you look gross”

• “remember how you drooled over this gross looking person before?” Touché

• “get out”

• and oh a jealous johnny 

• remember the way he pushed jaehyun away from you before?

• yeah he can be a bit agressive when he’s jealous. he gets all protective and serious everytime things similar to that happen to you

• but don’t worry, he knows how to set a limit for himself 

• he easily gets jealous and will immediately tell you when he’s uncomfortable of something 

• he won’t waste any second and would whisper something like “I don’t like the way that waiter looks at your legs” while the said guy takes your order 

• he’ll probably end up asking for another waiter instead 

• “I would appreciate it if you aren’t looking at my girlfriend legs bro" 

• never fails to tell you he loves you everyday

• sends you selfies 25/8

• movie dates every weekend 

•  your overall relationship with Johnny is fun, hot, and full of love (lucky!) • (im crying

NCT 127 – “Neo City: The Origin” in San Jose

5/9/19

Left work at 5:40pm, arrived in San Jose at 7:10, bought chicken nuggets from McDonald’s, and entered the concert hall at 7:50.

Hall feels kind of like a high school auditorium. Was expecting something a little more memorable.

I was kind of nervous and wondering if the $160 would be worth it, but I was excited about it too. Texted BFR and MKT a quick photo and both replied with excitement for me.

Concert begins.

(Cherry Bomb) Took me a little bit to get energized, but the smooth glide, backward fall, and leg split were everything.

NCT lightsticks are bright af. Every time the girl next to me waved hers to my side, I think I went just a little bit more blind lol.

(Chain) Taeyong’s absss. I was trying to fix something on my phone and, BAM! Front and center on the big screen. That shit came out of nowhere >.<

Didn’t have a lightstick this time, so I was just kinda awkwardly standing there. People around me must’ve thought I was the quietest kpop fan ever. But in my head I was hyped xD

(Ment #1) Taeyong really knows how to pump up a crowd—from his stretched out “Ohhh yeahhhh” that reclined into a sexy, throat-deep groan to his vocalized sports tournament siren after introducing his name. And his little fumble when trying to say “lifetime memories” was cute.

(Fly Away with Me) Ugh, this song put me in a mood. And Taeyong’s bouncing dance moves. He does them really nice.

(Back 2 U) Yuta’s vocals o.o And Taeyong’s soft swag throughout.

Not as many Taeyong stans as I thought, but definitely one behind me. I relate to her every time she screams for him when he does something remotely sexy and the crowd is quiet in obliviousness xD

(City 127) Slower song and Taeyong’s still not able to sit still. He was the only one who stood up and danced around for his part, and he continued to wiggle around in his chair after that xD :3

(Angel) So. Much. Skinship. Taeyong scooting his chair over to Jaehyun and being all squishy, touchy, and adorable with him. More with Yuta & Doyoung, and Jungwoo & Haechan. The line, “I’ll be your morning star” gave me all the feels. I eventually found myself swaying along.

(Jet Lag + more) Yuta’s slow, emotional hair flip and his unrelenting cuteness. If Taeyong doesn’t do it first, this kid might just kill me >.<

(Ment #2) Yuta being cute af and possibly throwing some random Japanese in there? xD

(No Longer) Definitely falling for Taeil’s voice.

So many Taeil, Haechan and Jaehyun stans.

(Regular) Taeyong’s sex faces live are killing me.

(Wake Up) The bars have come out. Hyped by Taeyong’s “Are you ready San Jose!” and subsequent ‘yeah’s and ‘whoo’s and arm pumping dance.

(Baby Don’t Like It) Taeyong literally coming in like a pimp on top of the bars. Sunglasses, posture, attitude, and all lmao.

(Mad City) The vibrations man, the fucking building was shaking.

(Good Thing) Taeyong’s outlandishly flamboyant paint-splatter suit, wtf xD Also his moonwalk is so fucking smooth. Yuta is adorably bouncy in his cute yellow sweater.

Seeing Taeyong’s sex faces in person is ridiculous (part 2).

…is Yuta my bias wrecker?

Chipmunk voices on the mic… (Started with Mark’s mic during Mad City and continued randomly throughout)

Changing lightstick colors with the music. Didn’t expect that to happen here. For some reason I thought it was only a Korea/Japan thing lol.

(Superhuman) The superior song. Always fall for that head snap in the beginning.

I was watching Taeyong for most of the concert, but I swear I saw Taemin’s face flash by for like half a second. I think the desperation to see Taemin live is getting too strong xD

(Ment #4) I fucking looked up and Taeyong had taken half of his sparkly jacket off during the ment. Guns fully loaded. Biceps at the ready. But my poor heart wasn’t >.< Haechan speaking Korean for the first time during the concert kind of made it more real that I was watching Korean idols who had traveled halfway across the world to perform in front of me. Taeyong and his backwards visor and casual black clothes is fucking hot. Taeil getting embarrassed when Johnny told him to growl and flex his muscles one more time, adorable :3 Taeyong did clapping push-ups, aegyo-ed, and fucking dabbed in the span of 20 seconds >.< Jaehyun asking if we’re ready to “get hot.” Boy, I’ve been steaming for an hour now (both literally and figuratively lol. Couldn’t find the time to take off my coat xD)

(Summer 127) The resonance and vibrations from the bass line had me shaking (in a good way). Taeyong’s front group seemed a little lost in the music when they finally went back into choreography—they kept looking at each other like “uh…” and wiggled their arms around aimlessly until it matched everyone else lol. Taeyong went HARD during this song. His panting had me thrown, and he rapped so hard his fucking vein popped out.

(Ment #5) Doyoung’s adorably cheesy fortune cookie story. Fortune cookie read, “You will touch the hearts of many.” Generic but absolutely true ^^ Taeyong’s pouty face before his ending speech. And he put his hands together, almost in prayer, when thanking his fans. It was so heartfelt and sweet.

(Pre-0 Mile) Taeyong’s switch from his soft voice when correcting the crowd’s move for “mine mine” to his deep, loud, crowd-pumping voice at the final “girl you’re just mine mine!” I love his duality. And the way he turned around to walk to the back of the stage for 0 Mile. Hot.

(0 Mile) Taeyong being a mom and picking up Doyoung after he fell to the ground trying to protect his abs xD He’s such a sweetheart <3

For the last three-ish songs, Taeyong was super energetic and hyped for the performances. It got me hyped too.

Their “San Jose is a real vibe-killer~~” xD

Someone threw a rose at Taeyong when they were walking from the left side audience to thank the right side, and he got adorably flustered. He fumbled with the rose a little bit, but he did manage to catch it.

Taeyong picked up the rose he had put down earlier to hold his members’ hands and bow. He was being such a tease with it, putting it sexily in his mouth, tango style, and turning around and pausing every two steps to pose with it. He also put on an adorable “San Jose” beauty pageant sash before posing with the rose and heading off stage. He was the last member to leave and he kept dorking around and teasing his fans, it was so freakin cute >.< (Side note: Found out later he was recently crowned “in charge” of their San Jose stop, which is why he had the sash.)

That ending^ was all I needed to make that whole concert worthwhile. I love you Taeyong <3

Concert ended at 10:40pm. Walked back to my car and drove home listening to nothing but NCT songs.

Post-concert thoughts: In the beginning, it felt like I was just watching another random concert. I was also hesitant about going even before that because I only really listened to about half the songs on the setlist. But I realized there’s something about concert settings that just makes everything sound amazing. The concert eventually evolved into something more meaningful and that I was super spazzy about and into (probably triggered by something Taeyong did lol), but it got so much more exciting after that and I loved it.

P.S. Taeyong’s shirt was sheer????

Episode Six - “No One Tell Karma Anything I Just Said” - Autumn

Ok i'm so goddamn bipolar. I trust Ned, alot. Ok Ned is amazin, like I see why Sarah liked him. So my problem is there is prob a swap, and I wan't my ass to go to exile. Like it is guarenteed saftey. So I claimed that shit. But I feel bad bc if I do, I leave Ned behind. Leaving Ned behind makes me feel like shit, and prob makes him like not like me as much. And I truly don't wanna leave him behind, I just wanna be safe. Like this entire game, I have felt wishy-washy. Like I don't know where anyones head is at. And furthermore, I love Brandon, don't get me wrong, but I feel like he would tell people that I am good w/ him and this is just my prediction bc his tribal q&a he went off. And he is bubbly and talkative, and just a bit too talkative. So I can just sense a target on my back bc of him. And just omg. I want to be exiled away 2 hell pls. And tbh i prob pissed off my entire tribe. Lol

I know I just said that I'll never trust Sam but I kinda trust her now. Me: I can't fall for Sam's tricks again. My brain: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/survivorsucks/imageproxy.php?url=http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah305/jeff_pROBOTst/lisi%20survivor%20fail%20gif_zpspbkboevo.gif?t=1433290937 Also JOHNNY went home?!!?! THE FRAT ALLIANCE NEVER EVEN SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY! I'll avenge you Johnny. A frat guy will win this season, mark my words.

I feel like there’s some kind of secret redemption island or outcasts twist happening tbh

Omf this swap couldn’t have worked out better. So it’s me, Jake, Chris, and John. Me and Jake are tight af and one of the first things Chris comes to tell me is he wants to work with me and Jake to get John out cuz John is pissed at Chris for lying to him about that last vote. So I’m like “YASSSSSS” in my mind. But on the outside I’m just like. O yea. That sounds cool. Let’s do that. Anyways. If we do end up losing this tribal it’s all good. I want me and Jake to be able to make it to merge. And John is one of the people I need to take revenge on for taking out Emily. He shows regret for it now. But in the end it doesn’t matter. He still did it.

Another swap and yet again I find myself in a tough spot. Last time I had at least autumn who I knew would vote with me. Now I have John who I just lied to and literally put on the block in case Johnny played an idol. Why the fuck would he work with me? The answer is he WONT. He’s gonna campaign to jakee and Bryan to get me out. Lucky for John, Bryan already doesn’t trust me! So my key here is Jake. If I get Jake on my side I stand a chance. Worst case scenario, I whip out my idol and guarantee I merge. I’m not tryna be like Johnny and get voted out with an idol... hell no. I’m here to make the merge. If I can just reunite with my people I’m set. I got autumn, ned, Haley, Ryan, and Brandon on lock. I possibly have Dane. I gotta work on jake man. Jake is my key to merge. 

OWEN HOW DARE YOU!!! WE WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!! http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/12/2691AE1E00000578-2991334-image-m-16_1426163660149.jpg He is so ugly for this/ I specifically told him not to. WE JUST FUCKING SWAPPED!?!?! Y'all don't understand I've been on every tribe in the past week and I'm tired. Every time I create a good spot and feel halfway good about myself, a twistos twist fucks it up and I'm not as young as these other kids. My trash iPhone 5S and I need to be seated and given a warning every time because we really do short circuit when things pop off. My Skype crashes as much as ocean waves whenever shit hits the fan and like my heart is already about to stop anyway from all the Coca Cola I drink and chronic stress I've endured for the past 23 years but like... that's all the more reason to not do so many swaps or at least give me a goddamn warning. I was at work and when I opened the app to see a Optio Tribe chat at the top of my messages?? https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D4K3XRRUIfI/WSs5kEir86I/AAAAAAAAEG4/O8CAhB5P57gO7RGi9aiGx_A7ZZxI0ReTgCLcB/s1600/giphy3.gif NOT TO MENTION work and Athena All Stars are competing to be the ultimate bane of my existence so if Crossroads could like not join the running, that'd be great. Like am I on a tribe of people I like trust? Yes, yes I am- miracles happen everyday. But am I now separated from Ned AND Chris?? Yes and that's not funny. Do I have to start over for the THIRD TIME in this game? Yes I do and the next announcement better be merge or I'll scream

I cannot believe I did THAT, I’m so proud of myself!!! I’ve never won a comp like that before! And I can’t believe chris got it a minute after me! Original impala is here to compete and win! I’m so glad we are safe especially during this double tribal, I’m shook. Ned and I will be the only ones to have never been to tribal after this!! And honestly I love ned so much, he’s definitely my f2. I’ve talked very little to Haley or Ryan so I’m glad we don’t have tribal here. 

I really slept in and woke up to find that not only did Optio lose the challenge, but now I have to pick between 3 allies and get a majority before they start talking and realize I know all of them well and am the smartest bet to send home https://media.tenor.com/images/1e425f0991c66cd840f78b389e84f5c9/tenor.gif I mean Brandon will read all of this eventually but the vote is him because Imperium ties run deep and feminism. I've been aligned with Dane from the jump #kidsnextdoor so when we got reunited, he was ecstatic to see me and was down to do whatever if we lost. That kinda loyalty is hard to find soooo I can't vote him out. Rebecka and I have history (which only Chris knows about) and played most of Athena Himalayas together so voting her out is just fake. I trust her waaaay more than any of these people so I have to put my money where my mouth is and prove my loyalty. Her and I never got it right in Himalayas so I'm not voting her out or dropping her name. Does this mean I'm betraying Brandon? Yes and that sucks. Is it better than the consequences of betraying Dane or Rebecka? Absolutely I've also learned that Brandon flipped votes to get Rhone out, which spooked Rebecka, and Dane is very committed to our old alliance so when I told him Chris and Brandon were tight, he wasn't having it. Also he's got bigger problems like his beef with Julia so he has to stay around I wanna watch that up close hahaha. Brandon's a great competitor so as great of a friend/ally as he is, I can't beat him in the end (not that he would ever take me over Chris). And I sure as hell can't let Brandon flip Dane or Rebecka on me because he's 100% smart enough and social enough. Sooo it's done- almost everyone has casted votes and I've made my peace with my ugly savage self. BRANDON IM SORRY BLAME OWEN ITS HIS TWISTOS TWIST!!! Highkey wouldn't have turned on you if we'd been put with other people so it essentially is Owen's fault. Ok done scamming for the day- no one tell karma anything I just said! https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/9WRvREpZJp5kMg4z8BwZqqC-XkQ/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/11/14/049/n/1922398/3167f7e419274941_57c736261700000011c76cb6/i/Bye.gif

This round has been a roller coaster of stress, excitement, disappointment, and terror. First of all, we had our suspicions that "teaming up" would lead to a swap, but I don't think anyone seriously thought we'd be put into three tribes of FOUR. In a tribe this small, there's nowhere to hide. Sam and I decided early on to team up, because at this point, I trust her more than both Dane and Bryan, and Julia wanted to be on her own team so she could be exiled. Sam and I were put with Haley and Ryan on Imperium. #Imperium4Lyfe I trust Haley because she aligned with Chris on the old Fatum tribe, but Ryan kind of sketches me out. I was already preparing to either blindside Ryan or play my idol, because the immunity challenge was frickin impossible and the TWO losing tribes are going to Tribal. We had to guess a 7-digit code to find a secret page on the blog, and every thirty minutes or so we'd receive a relatively useless clue like "the sum of the first three digits is less than the sum of the last three digits." Ultimately, I decided to use my challenge advantage, which gave us two extra hints. This morning, Sam and I created a system that listed every possible code. Once we realized we had narrowed it down to around 36 combinations, it became a race against time to see how quickly we could enter each code on our phones. It turns out that we NEEDED my advantage, as Sam found the secret page literally SECONDS before Chris did on another tribe. I'm slightly suspicious that the double Tribal may just result in the two people voted out switching tribes, but then Julia would be exiled for another round and that doesn't seem very likely. Either way, I'm just happy to be safe for another round. Sam and I were just talking about how awesome we are together, as the two OG Imperiums who haven't gone to Tribal at all. I was really starting to feel like we could dominate the merge together, but then she said "You're my ride or die." https://i.imgur.com/JKVZSFJ.gif Those are the same words I never wanted to hear from Sam again, because that's word-for-word what she said to me in our first game together right before she backstabbed me. I guess the old saying is true: keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Okay things are finally heating up for me! When we swapped tribes Chris told me he was happy we were on the same tribes blah blah blah but I've seen through him for a while now so I don't trust him. Bryan is the only person who swapped with me so we talked and he said that he was good with Chris and didn't trust John because of what happened when he got sent to their tribal. I talked to John and I want him to stay mainly bc we basically live in the same city and I think we have sort of a bond cus of that. Also because I think Chris is a social threat and I'd like to take him out now before merge in case he groups up with his allies. Things are really complicated and messy right now. I'm telling John everything that's going on. Chris is lying and saying that John wants to target Bryan to Bryan to get him to vote out John but I don't want that. I'm trying to get Bryan to realize that Chris is a threat. Bryan however thinks that he'll be an easy target at merge which could be true but I really want to merge with John because I think he will have a lot of trust in me for trying to save him. It's complicated and with only 4 people voting and the chance of a tiebreaker I am still nervous. Anything could happen. I could be getting lied to. It's complicated. The only person who I think I trust fully right now is John. I hope Chris doesn't have an idol an I hope the don't fake out and vote me out. The best cast scenario for me is that Chris gets voted out and I merge. Worst case is that I get voted out lol, but if I have to lose John to merge then I lose John. I just need to keep myself safe while going the route that I think will benefit me the most in the long run.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vgoUMfYTNY0

SOOO, I won a challenge. I won the reward. And bitch, guess tf what. I made merge, jury, and the f11. BITCH YES. SO I put my ass to work on that puzzle to secure thati could make jury. Took me like 3 hrs, but I did it. Next, NED WON IMMUNITY SO HE IS GOING TO BE SAFE WITH ME. HELL YES. HELL YESSSS. I am living atm. 

Ok. So looks like the vote is falling on John. Tbh I’d rather have both John and Chris go but alas that seems to not be the case. I don’t wanna vote Chris out just yet. John is a subtle player but Chris plays really hard, he did on og imperium and he is now. It’d be really easy to paint a target on his back at merge if I have to. But anyways I really like having Jake as an ally. We really click. But me and Chris told John that we are voting out Jake. So it’ll probably be a 3-1 vote with John going bye bye. But John gave me some tea. That Haley went after Emily and then Nicole. Honestly the girl gives me the “not like other girls” vibe. It’s not cool and I really want her gone come merge as well. 

Ok so I lied in my last confessional I guess. I’m voting out Chris now. Woo. I never trusted him anyways. But John seems really desperate for an ally and me and Jake talked it over and decided to change our decision to Chris. Hopefully my old imperium people don’t get mad at me...

Im glad we won. FINALLY. and i did nothing. Haley and I or just I was gonna use my idol if we went to tribal which we didn't. xoxo

Tonight is rough. I’d like to think Jake and Bryan are with me and are voting John out. John should be voted out tonight. I have a idol if I get bad vibes at tribal but I’m not sure I want to play it. If I save it I am in a strong position at the merge. But I really wanna fucking merge man. I have a tough decision. 

Voting Brandon out, this ones for rhone 

(beginning of round) WELL. That last vote did not go as I planned at all... Johnny is out of this game.. and EVERYONE lied to me last round. Every person. I am definitely a bit hurt by Stoner because he was telling me that he wanted to be a trio with Johnny and I just a few hours before our tribal. He really showed his colors. Ryan said he planned this right after Haley got back. I am a bit bitter but I can get over it with them cause I need to survive another day. I feel like I have nobody now. A lone coffey. I am ready to work my way back to the top.

(After immunity)I made it to my birthday without getting voted out!! I was so busy doing birthday things that I failed to realize we tribe swapped again!!! I am ona tribe with Stoner, Jake, and Bryan! I haven't seen Bryan since the very first tribal where we voted out Emily. Which now that I think of it, I think the curse of fatum all started with the blindside of Emily and Bryan. Jake lives 20 mins from me so we clicked right off the bat, and we rekindled the friendship we had formed in one world fast. Stoner came to me saying he wouldn't blame me for gunning for him, but I told him that I would not go for him if he wouldn't go for me. We lose the challenge. And Jake informs me that Chris is targeting me!!!! WONDERFUL! When Chris lied to me the first time I was hurt, but he has been continuously lying to me the entire day and now it is pissing me off and making me a vengeful boy. Jake suggested that I made a plea to Bryan, and that is what I did. I threw Chris's name out there and told him how he seems to have so many personal connections with people, and he makes them think they are his number one. I fell victim to him once. Not again. I explained the Emily vote to Bryan, telling him how Emily was trying to form a girls alliance, and I let him know that Haley was the one that planned that whole thing. It led to the discussion that Bryan would like Haley out first when we get to the merge. After a bit of talking to Bryan he told me he was down to vote Chris out and I couldn't be more ecstatic. This is the sweetest revenge at the perfect time. I am telling Chris that I will vote Jake out because I "never talk to him". Half my afternoon consisted of me telling Chris things and then Jake relaying them back to me LMAO. Tribal will be a fun one. This one's for you Johnny!

I have never left impala, I’ll truly miss this little camp. But I’m so excited for merge, and new people!! And connecting with original impala again! And John Coffey <3

[12/30/2017 1:50:05 PM] BDC: I feel like this might be my time hahah [12/30/2017 1:50:21 PM] BDC: I don’t feel confident whatsoever [12/30/2017 1:53:19 PM] BDC: I messaged both Dane and rebecka and neither have answered but they are talking in the tribe chat together [12/30/2017 1:53:26 PM] BDC: So like ....

[league-of-light]

Rank & Furious 6

Howdy everybody. We’ve got quite possibly the most heartfelt, thought out, and artistic content for you this week.  Dylan wrote a ton, and for me to have written anymore would have left us with far too much reading to do this week.  Instead, I’ll pop in/piggyback wherever I feel necessary with this italicized text.  For those who don’t know, around these parts we have some big Fast and Furious fans.  If you haven’t seen the movies, fix that.  But also if you haven’t seen them, you may find yourself scratching your head at this week’s rankings.  That’s ok, just know they are content. I’ll do my best to provide a normie version of content for you people. If you have seen the movies, please enjoy a Fast and Furiousified version of the Week 6 Power Rankings. ___________________________________________________ For those who haven't heard, Tyrese, The Rock, and Jason Statham have been involved in a squabble that should have broken my heart. But then I realized I was happy that the series had fallen apart. My apathy for the situation confused me, and I decided to examine why this was the case. Maybe Bowers was right, and I was really just a feudster at heart and liked seeing the feud. But I would never have wanted to hear about Paul Walker and Sung Kang feuding, so it couldn’t be that. Maybe I’ve just gotten tired of the Rock, with his bad movies and bad politics. But no, because honestly, I’m still excited when I watch him in Fast Five. Then it hit me. I’m just happy because really, the series is already over. Fate of the Furious started a new series of movies (one that frankly doesn’t seem to be very good). And with the problems the previously tightknit cast now appears to be having, it just makes it easier to move on. With that being said, these power rankings are in honor of the greatest movie franchise of all time, now fracturing in front of the world. Think of them like one of those Buzzfeed quizzes where you see which character you are, but instead, it’s about your teams, and we just give you the answer. Fate of the Furious will be included, because it’s the only way for me to convey how bad some of our lower ranked teams are. Contains spoilers for all 8 movies. Keep fighting the good fight Tyrese! 5 > 1 = 7 > 6 > 3 > 4 > 2.*

*Editor’s note - this is a god damn lie.  Ranking 2 Fast 2 Furious below Tokyo Drift is actually a war crime, and you should be tried/hung for your crimes.  Except Dylan is already hung, if you know what I’m sayin ;) ;) 8==D But seriously, Tokyo Drift is horrible. It’s the worst Fast and Furious movie.  It might be a fine movie on in a vacuum, but it carries the Fast and Furious title, and it’s a horrible Fast and Furious movie.  Except for the Teriyaki Boyz (work warning: that link plays some dank music). That’s some good shit.

Honorable Mentions

Matt Barry – The FBI agent in 2 Fast 2 Furious played by Dexter’s dad from Dexter

JTG – The black FBI agent in in The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious

Smoochie – Johnny Tran, looking for fights over slights both real and perceived

Danny – Dom, if he was obsessed with jury duty, spoiled movies, and was never broken out of prison after Fast and Furious (note: This is my bad excuse for not calling anyone Dom because I couldn’t pick anyone)**

**Even with the ridiculous qualifiers/modifications/whatever you wanna call them, this is literally the hottest take I have ever read in my life.  

Tom – Vince (I 100% stand by this and will not be convinced otherwise)

Nobody – Tej, which just shows how ridiculous he is. He goes from pretty good mechanic who organizes races to elite hacker who can also create incredible gadgets out of nowhere with 0 training. It’s so ridiculous that I can’t even compare it to anyone in the league.

The Fucking Losers (managed by Everett Sobel)

Fast and Furious Character – Leon

Most people forget Leon exists. But he was part of the original crew. Dom’s crew in the first movie wasn’t just Dom, Vince, Letty, and Jesse; Leon was out there with them, robbing trucks and presumably doing other stuff while not robbing trucks. What happened to him? Who knows. He probably got arrested after the whole thing happened, or is in hiding. But wherever Leon is, and wherever Everett is, I hope he’s happy and I miss him. It’s been a long league without you my friend.***

***Dylan says “wherever Everett is” but we know where Everett is, he’s inside all of our hearts. 

12.  The Memes of Production (1-4, last week #11)

Fast and Furious Character – Deckard Shaw

When I first saw Jason Statham in mid-credits scene in Fast & Furious 6, I wasn’t happy. The 6th movie was already a bit underwhelming coming on the heels of Fast Five, and when I saw him, I thought he was just going to ruin the franchise. Then Furious 7 came out, and it was terrific. In my opinion, it was either the 2nd or 3rd best movie in the series. Then, Fate of the Furious came out, and he was part of the reason that it wasn’t good. And now the spinoff with The Rock is happening, and it’s confirmed, he did ruin the series.

Andy’s team looked terrible in Week 1, the worst in the league. Then they looked terrific in week 2, and I thought they could move up towards the top 4. Ever since, they’ve looked terrible again, and it looks like my initial thought there was unfortunately the right one.

If I don’t type text here, there will be a weird gap between Andy and Arielle, so just ignore this. There’s already probably a weird gap between this text and Andy’s gif.  Tumblr is a pain in the ass.

11. Team Calm Down Will (2-3, last week 10)

Fast and Furious Character – Elena

Elena is awesome, but she just can’t catch a break. When she was a bit younger, she was married to a police officer who got killed in the line of duty (David Johnson). She tries to arrest Dom and his crew, but instead, falls in love with him, and all is well. Nothing can ruin her happiness… except for Dom’s ex-wife still being alive, Dom leaving to be with her, and all this while she’s apparently pregnant (RIP Greg Olsen in a 53.5 point Week 2). Things start looking up again, as Hobbs gives her a recommendation for a promotion and she gets used to being a single mom, but ultimately, just because she is associated with the wrong people (looking at you Blake Bortles), she meets a shocking, horrifying end.

Sorry Arielle, I really wanted to make a better gif for you.  Your team is abysmal so the least I could’ve done was given you the joy of a cool gif.  Unfortunately, Elena doesn’t have many good gifs online, so you’ll have to settle for this

10. Freaky Frogadier (1-4, last week #9)

Fast and Furious Character – Jesse

This team just tries to do too much. Swapping picks before the draft, then the first trade, then the second trade, then the third trade, and now rumor has it they’re looking for a 4th trade? They’re going a mile a minute, and their GM should probably be going to MIT or something, but they seem to have ADD. This week, with another loss and with Ben Roethlisberger admitting he can’t play anymore, they pretty much just got shot on their lawn by two guys in motorcycles. At least they’ll get to see Everett’s team in heaven.

Dylan I know you meant Fast and Furious Jesse, but you picked a character from an era before gifs even existed, so instead you have your face on top of Aaron Paul test driving a car.  Jesse Pinkman, Need for Speed, close enough.  Next time pick a better character for yourself and you’ll get a good gif

9. Chicken Winnigish (2-3, last week #7)

Fast and Furious Character – Sean Boswell

Team Evan has had a bunch of issues with injuries and lineups, but to be honest, most of them are self-inflected. He decided that he had to find Geoffrey, and because he focused on that instead of making a good team, he got kicked out of high school and sent to Tokyo. Things were looking a bit better when he won last week, but what was he left with? A not great looking girlfriend who is cool with dating people in the Yakuza, nowhere to live because he was kicked out of the house (FORESHADOWING???), and his friend still dead. The rest of this season will be like the rest of movies 4-8 were for Sean; maybe a small appearance in the win column, but mostly just nothing.

Before the haters come in and criticize my autistic artistic decision to make Evan Twinkie and not actually Sean Boswell, take a moment and just enjoy looking at Evan in that outfit.  You’re welcome. 

8. Caddyshack Name Incoming (1-4, last week #12)

Fast and Furious Character – Cipher

You hear that Charlize Theron is going to be in the new fast movie, and you think damn, she’s good looking and a great actor, she’s going to be great. Then you see the hair and… holy shit it’s terrible. And then her first couple of scenes are just god awful. Then she does have that scene where she kills Elena****, and it’s so ridiculous that you almost kind of think she’s an interesting character in an it’s so bad it’s good kind of way? This team’s Week 5 performance was that scene, as they won not because of Zeke, Evans, and Murray, but instead largely thanks to the Bengals D, Torrey Smith, and Justin Tucker. We’ll see if they go back to cratering like she did or if they can actually keep up the performance. Jason Witten at Flex might be their dreads.

****WOOOOOOOOOOOW, SOME OF US (me) HAVEN’T SEEN FAST8 YET.  This guy out here going full Danny.  Next you’re gonna tell us Laura Kinney is Logan’s daughter, and that they cloned his DNA. You’re a monster, Dylan.  

7. Confused Pandas (2-3, last week #7)

Fast and Furious Character – Gisele

Ok, the two women in the league both being female (ha, female, that’s funny) characters is not a great look. But it’s not my fault that they like to have their female characters get killed and both teams died with injuries to their 1st round picks. I started off not particularly liking this team and even saying it was mediocre, which I think is a fair way to describe Gisele in Fast and Furious. But then, Gisele throws up a 130.5 point performance in week 2, establishing herself as an awesome member of the team who you want to see succeed. And then, on the 2387 mile runway that is the Giants season, Gisele and Odell (IT EVEN RHYMES) both died, and people were too busy talking about other things (JJ Watt, the Giants 0-5 record, Dom surviving and walking through fire, where the fuck that runway even is) to really appreciate them like they should. This team is number 7, but also number 1.

Pew pew, bang bang, skeet skeet.

6. Phil Awoke My Sexuality (2-3, last week #4)

Fast and Furious Character - Han

And now the Asian is Han? Get your shit together Dylan. Han doesn’t have a great start in Tokyo Drift, considering he dies. But at least he’s intriguing. And then in Fast Five, you realize he’s really awesome. And then in Fast 6, he’s even awesomer. He might be my 4th favorite character (probably actually 5th, but you can talk me into it). Same with this team, which started off 0-2 with an impressive record and then had 2 big victories. But was this week the equivalent of Han mid-credits after Fast 6? This team had a chance for a big win against their division rival and lost. They have 2 QB’s, but if you have 2 QB’s you don’t really have one. I still really like this team, and I don’t think they’re dead, but they’ll need to figure something out to avoid Han’s fate.

Harnsowl I don’t need to explain this one for you, but I will happily testify as a witness if you want to prosecute Dylan for the racial profiling.

5. The Mayor of California (4-1, last week #6)

Fast and Furious Character – Hobbs

The good news: The Rock is the perfect non-leading guy for these movies. Brian and Dom do the emotional heavy lifting, Dom is usually battling the main guy, that leaves Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson to look really, really muscly, beat people up, and say thing varying from cool to corny while beating people up.

The bad news: He’s too good in this role for it to have continued forever, and Paul Walker dying significantly hastened the inevitable. He wasn’t good enough to be the de facto team leader in Fate of the Furious (it should have been Letty), and he won’t be good enough to have a spinoff.

This team is good. They’re 4-1, they’ve had some quality wins, and they have a decent amount of talent across the board.

Jason I don’t know if you’ve seen these movies, and it’s kind of hard to tell from this gif, but in case you haven’t seen it allow me to explain. In this scene, The Rock is literally flexing out of a cast.  I figured it was appropriate, especially when you consider Davante Adams’ recovery.

4. Walsh Me Nae Nae (3-2, last week #8)

Fast and Furious Character – Mr. Nobody

Walsh’s presence looms over the league even though we almost never see him. He was #2 in the league last year, and he looks good this year too. Nobody has jumped around more in my rankings, and we don’t really know anything about Mr. Nobody. And still, you feel like there’s something more to this team, and to Walsh. Whenever he says anything, people go nuts, and he just always seems to be around, influencing things more than we could even realize.

Walsh, there’s a solid chance this gif won’t load. I’ve already tried 3 or 4 times to make it work. It’s a 5.7 MB gif, which is beyond massive.  If not, I’ll post it in the group.  It’s way too many frames, and there’s a lot going on, just know I put some work into this one for you.

3. Watch Me Not TV (4-1)

Fast and Furious Character – Roman Pierce

First, let me say that teams 1-3 could realistically be in any order. Will is undefeated, Phil is the top scorer, and Nico is between the two in both. As for Nico, sure, there have been some questionable moments. He’s started Buck Allen a couple of times, he’s started multiple negative defenses, and there was the whole “Ejecto Dezzo Cuz” incident where he tried to trade Dez Bryant for one of those parallelepiped pink pencil erasers and the bottom part of a muffin. That and the fact that he’s one of our quieter chat members have made him fall under the radar a bit. But make no mistake, this team is a powerhouse that should not be underestimated. Kareem Hunt in the 5th was the best pick in the draft, Duke Johnson Jr is looking good again, and somehow, they just put up incredible performance after incredible performance. You don’t even realize they’re always winning and always coming out ahead, until they’re laughing at you and driving away your shit after you underestimated them. They ain’t hungry no more either.

If you enjoyed your gif this week, thank Dylan and Nico.  The second Dylan told me he was giving Nico Roman, I had to make the gif.  And then I couldn’t just give Nico a gif and nobody else, so the gifs were born.  

2. Primo Content (3-2)

Fast and Furious Character – DK

This team should dominate. But it’s not the first time we’ve thought that about Phil’s team. It looked like he was going to start running away with things in week 3, but he opened his mouth too soon, and then his team ended up losing. He looked like a lock for the playoffs last year, but again, he couldn’t shut then he ended up losing. Karma just kept coming back to kill him after premature bragging. There’s no way DK should lose to Sean, but then it happens. Is this the time that Phil finally gets past this and finds a way not to lose money on this league? Or will karma send him careening down a cliff while he loses to some random hick whose only living friend is named Twinkie? Only time will tell.

I wanted to give him Dom because Dom has become the worst character in the movies and screeches "family” like Phil screeches “content”.  I made the gif before Dylan told me DK, but that’s ok. DK sucks, Tokyo Drift sucks, this is an appropriate character for Phil.  

1. Blastoise Brigade (5-0)

Fast and Furious Character - Brian

This one’s a no brainer. As the undefeated team, they’re the heart and soul of this league. And they appeared ready to dominate it all year. And then, bam, out of nowhere, Dalvin Cook went off to raise his second kid and couldn’t be called back in even when his brother in law, the uncle and probably godfather to his children, became arguably the most wanted man in the world. I still have this team #1, but I don’t know how long that will last, as the early returns on Diggs without him are not promising. Good bye Dalvin. I’m watching this Monday Night Football game, and it’s going to be a long day without you my friend.

So why is this team ranked #1? Because like Brian, they understand Dom’s lesson. Ask any fantasy football player. Any real fantasy football player. It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.

Whoops, this gif is super fast.  It’s called the Fast and Furious, and I’m furious this gif is so fast. Well, I’ve already closed Photoshop and don’t feel like remaking it, oh well.  RIP Paul Walker Dalvin Cook.

The League of Shadows (Season 2, last year Season 1)

Fast and Furious Character: Letty

We started with the League of Light, which was so far separated from its successors that it really is essentially a different league. Then we thought that the League was dead. It was even confirmed to be dead by Danny. But then, it came back, without its memory and basically as a new character. But then, oh no, it appeared to be a bad guy who is a bully and has always been a bully.; But then, it remembered who it was, and it’s back again! And now, even though football is awful, and even though fantasy football is awful, the League of Shadows still lives on being downright tolerable when everything around it is miserable, just like Letty.
