THE TENNIS MATCHES ALL FEEL SO SATISFYING!!! <3333333 omg. i feel like WUOOOOOH u know. i feel so cool playing a cool talented mc omg im loving it (i play a i-win-everything type of mc becuz im a perfectionist with a fear of failure) the matches me on edge in my seat oh gosh <3 and when u win it somehow just go WOOOOOOOH again!!! AAAAAA<3

5. aw, and of course, my beloved rivals to lovers rayyan <3333 *sigh* the slowburn.... (hes actually my first & only one. i go: ohhh tension!?!? and make a run for it. um, if it's ok to ask, is there a lot of content in the romance area as of now or in the future? like, replayability in terms of romance? im sorry if this is rude, i didnt mean to, i suck at words & i wont ask that again.)

6. FOUND FAMILY YAY! FOUND FAMILY YAY! <33333 (we genuinely lack those in the if community pls.) soulmates w/ sam. ride or die diego. very reluctant ride or die G (imma be honest, his name is just so hard so my head for some reason just go Guacamole 😭). aww tobin u very big cinammon roll ill protect u. shenanigans. & others too many to name honestly.

7. help this is just so good i had to force myself to sleep at 3am for a 7am lecture and i sat in the front rows and i put my head on the table and the fricking professor called me out ohmygod- BUT IT WAS WORTH IT GODDAMN!! ILL DO IT AGAIN IF I HAVE TO! HA! i cant wait for the next update- i'm gonna have this fic in my head for the next week oh pls noooooo.

1. And 2 -> THANK YOU!

3. Gosh this is such a great thing to hear. There are a looot of characters, and I definitely worry sometimes that it gets to be too much, but I think the IF is getting long enough for me to give enough-ish screentime to each character... though it takes me a while to cycle back to different side characters. I cant believe you remembered the cool ass girl in laser tag! :)

4. AWESOME to hear! 🥰

5. Yup, being a character driven IF, there will be a lot of romance (or friendship) beats / moments in the IF (which is already true now). The next couple of chapters will follow the same mix of sports, school and romance / hanging out, so you should already have a sense of how much romance there'll be (it'll just keep unfolding / developing for each of the RO routes!)

6. Hehe found family is my fave trope to insert in stories as well.

7. Hahaha aww oh no fictional college life is catching up to your real college life!!

8. HUG YOU BACK (with consent)!!🤗🤗

Right now, would you be upset if you got pregnant, or would you not mind? Have you ever had a pregnancy scare? I’d be incredibly upset.

Are you usually early or late? I’m more likely to be early.

What’s annoying you? Nothing, at the moment. I’m feeling pretty chill.

I have come to depend on Janet. She’s a good egg, Janet is.

(Working third shift makes you weird... er.)

Earliest moment in your life you can remember? Sitting on the floor in the apartment at Lincoln Village. I was drinking coke from a glass bottle, and my dad was moving the new couch into the living room. When I remarked on this memory, my Mom said I wasn’t quite 3, at the time.

Gareth Bale grew to become Wales’ report scorer on the China Cup in March – however has had a irritating membership season

Actual Madrid v Bayern Munich – Champions League semi-final second leg

Kick-off time:

Tuesday, 1 Could – 19:45 BST

Protection:

Dwell commentary on BBC Radio 5 stay and BBC Sport web site/app

After 5 years, a world report switch payment and three Champions League winners’ medals, Gareth Bale’s Actual Madrid profession could possibly be coming to an finish this summer season.

Now not a daily starter, hampered by accidents and nonetheless within the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale’s future on the Santiago Bernabeu has by no means been beneath larger scrutiny, regardless of the official phrase being that participant and membership are nonetheless joyful.

“There are nonetheless extra video games to return and I will be counting on him. It is not true that I do not play him,” boss Zinedine Zidane stated after the 2-1 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Bayern Munich.

Going into Tuesday’s second leg, and with time working out on this marketing campaign, it’s changing into tougher to see Bale returning to favour, as he’s that includes lower than ever for Los Blancos.

Nevertheless, the 28-year-old Wales star has a profitable contract that runs till 2022, is settled in Spain and says he loves enjoying for Actual, who he grew up dreaming of representing.

The noises coming from the Bale camp are that he want to keep. If he leaves, it’s more likely to be the membership ushering him out of the door.

Is he really having a nasty season?

Whereas kind is subjective and the statistics present Bale is nearly as a lot of a objective risk as he has ever been (a objective in simply over 70% of his league begins this time period), there will be no denying his place within the Madrid hierarchy seems to be slipping.

Bale has been fitter for a bigger proportion of this season than final, his most injury-hit within the Spanish capital, but he has began simply 17 league video games and has featured in solely 5 Champions League matches.

He has performed the total 90 minutes lower than ever and now not appears to even be the primary selection off the bench.

He was an unused substitute in opposition to Bayern within the first leg, whereas within the final 16 in opposition to Paris St-Germain he featured for a complete of 36 minutes. He was additionally hauled off at half-time of their quarter-final second leg in opposition to Juventus.

Bale made solely his eighth 90-minute look of the season on Saturday – and scored the opener against Leganes – however that was in a weakened facet as they ready for the second leg with Bayern.

Gareth Bale’s Actual Madrid profession by 12 months Yr La Liga begins (objectives) La Liga sub appearances Variety of occasions subbed in La Liga Whole minutes performed in La Liga Different appearances(objectives) Different substitute appearances 2013-14 24 (15) 3 7 2,070 9 (7) 4 2014-15 30 (13) 1 7 2,582 9 (1) 4 2015-16 21 (19) 2 9 1,741 8 (0) 0 2016-17 17 (7) 2 7 1,425 7 (2) 1 2017-18 17 (12) 6 9 1,461 6 (3) 5

Why is his reputation waning?

Former Actual Madrid nice Michael Laudrup, at present managing Qatari facet Al-Rayyan SC, believes Bale’s inventory has fallen as a result of harm issues have hampered his kind for a lot of his time in Spain.

Meaning Bale – who joined Actual from Tottenham for £85.3m in 2013 – has struggled to match his first season, which culminated in him scoring in the final of the Champions League.

“I believed that Gareth Bale wanted a sure interval, possibly one season, to adapt to Spanish soccer, the place there may be much less area than within the Premier League,” Laudrup advised BBC Sport Wales.

“I used to be impressed together with his efficiency throughout his first season. He scored 22 objectives which was way more than anybody anticipated in his first season.

“If you ship such a primary season, it’s regular that the expectations will probably be excessive for the approaching one.

“However his second season was not even near his first, which I personally discovered unusual as a result of now Bale knew the Spanish league. However sadly accidents performed their half. The third season was good, however inferior to the primary.”

Denmark legend Laudrup believes the final two seasons have seen Bale grow to be a peripheral determine on the Bernabeu.

“Final season, his affect within the staff grew to become much less and fewer. Once more his accidents have been guilty for that. He couldn’t get match match after which it is vitally troublesome to achieve your greatest stage,” he stated.

“This season has up to now been a mixture of accidents and the truth that Actual Madrid have had a nasty season [domestically].

“And naturally this has additionally affected Bale, who has been criticised by the Spanish media.

Actual Madrid’s success in profitable the Champions League in opposition to Juventus in Cardiff final season noticed Bale acquire his third winner’s medal

“As soon as extra Actual Madrid are doing very properly within the Champions League however right here plainly Zidane prefers different gamers.

“So that’s the reason, if I ought to guess about Bale’s future, I’d say he’ll go away Actual Madrid after this season.”

Is staying in Madrid now unlikely?

The goodwill in the direction of Bale, each at board stage and virtually as crucially inside the media and on the terraces, seems to be waning.

Former Actual Madrid and Wales supervisor John Toshack, who gave Bale his worldwide debut, says he’s now affected by “a worrying stage of negativity”.

“I’m right here [in Spain] and I can see and listen to that there’s a lot of negativity about Gareth and it saddens me just a little bit,” he advised BBC Sport Wales.

“Typically the media, they need to stir issues up by way of him shifting on subsequent 12 months.

“Zidane is politically appropriate in every thing he says, however on the similar time you may see Gareth is just a little bit out of favour with him.”

Toshack feels Bale now appears sad until he’s enjoying for his nation and that the Madrid hierarchy could have already determined his future.

“Gareth’s physique language is just a little bit underwhelming. You may see that he’s clearly very a lot happier when he’s with Wales than when he’s with Actual Madrid,” he stated.

“Gareth is ready that actually does not look fairly proper.

John Toshack gave Gareth Bale his Wales debut in 2006 when he was simply 16

“To supply your greatest on the sector it’s important to be feeling joyful and assured and I get the impression there may be simply one thing holding Gareth again.

“I believe his accidents have annoyed just a few folks at Actual Madrid and there may be completely nothing Gareth can do about that.”

Is a Premier League return on?

If Bale is to go away Spain, a return to the Premier League would on paper appear Bale’s almost certainly and logical vacation spot.

Manchester United are regarded as long-time admirers, whereas Manchester Metropolis’s winter pursuit of Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez – an analogous attacking expertise – imply the Premier League champions may show an choice as properly.

Apparently a boyhood Arsenal fan, Bale may entice admiring glances from the Emirates as Arsenal plan for all times with out Arsene Wenger, whereas Chelsea is also a logical resolution, particularly with Madrid reportedly excited about Eden Hazard.

A return to Tottenham Hotspur would definitely be welcomed by Spurs followers as they transfer to their new stadium, however his wage may show problematic.

BBC pundit Pat Nevin believes a return to the Premier League is the best resolution for Bale.

“I’d like to see him again within the UK and I simply get the sensation that that is the time that will be proper for him,” he stated.

Gareth Bale emerged on the world stage with a superb hat-trick for Tottenham within the Champions League in 2010 on the San Siro. His former membership Spurs and Inter Milan are each regarded as excited about signing Bale

“It appears like shifting again to the UK would swimsuit him.

“He is been unfortunate with harm. Had he been absolutely match with out fairly an extended checklist of accidents throughout his time there, issues may have gone very in a different way for him.

“Perhaps he would really feel much less stress within the UK, be that at Manchester United, Manchester Metropolis, Chelsea or whoever.”

Laudrup additionally feels Bale can be extra welcome within the Premier League than he’s in Spain.

“I believe that he’ll return to the Premier League the place many of the high golf equipment would obtain him with open arms,” the previous Swansea boss defined.

“Manchester Metropolis, Manchester United, Chelsea or a return to Tottenham can be my greatest guess.”

Bale can solely be a part of a ‘big membership’

In line with the bookmakers, a return to England is way from sure with each Bayern Munich and Serie A giants Inter Milan that includes prominently as potential future locations.

One other of Bale’s former Wales managers, Chris Coleman, believes there’s a very small shortlist in the case of his subsequent membership.

“He is performed a great stint there, however the final time I spoke to him, he was very joyful in Madrid, his household is settled there,” Coleman stated.

“The place does he go from there that is greater? There’s nowhere greater, so if he does go away Madrid, the place’s he going to go? It may must be one other big membership.”
