Barca did win the league last year but there not doing as good this year as there midfielder all injured. Gavi was my favorite. Pedri too and he’s also injured so is Frenkie this is there whole midfield. I have gone off on a tangent lol 🤍.

ahhhh i see!! its cool that there are several good spanish teams in football i think, in handball it's just barcelona 🤷‍♀️ so they have no issues in their own league, just champions league. i recognize gavi and pedri now that i think of it?? so sorry to hear of the injuries 😩 but they're doing pretty well despite it, no?

I’ve played soccer most of my life and I do know there are concussion headbands some people wear to keep them safe when they head the ball since concussions are very common in soccer from headers (the only safe place to head the ball is about right on your hairline and you don’t always get it right lol). Nancy and Eddie def researched and got him one after seeing him head the ball for the first time and freaked out. Steve hates wearing it

First, thank you! I am very much Eddie and Nancy in the soccer part of the saga. I don’t play sports so big thanks to all the people that are giving information and ideas.

Second, I love the idea of Nancy and Eddie being very strict parent/understanding parent about it, but Eddie is the reasonable one and Nancy might just be fully insane.

“This is bullying.”

Steve sulks deeper into the couch, crossing his arms over his jersey in a full pout. He glares at the headband and then gives Eddie a pleading look, “I don’t want it.”

“I know, baby,” Eddie says sympathetically, “But-“

“Too bad,” Nancy cuts in. “Do you know how common concussions are in soccer? You decided to play Concussion: The Sport. Dress like it.”

“No one else is wearing one. I’ll look dumb!”

“Okay, then. Maybe we don’t stop a speeding ball with our head then,” Eddie tries. “How about that?”

“No,” Nancy answers even though the question wasn’t directed at her. “Not good enough! Wear the headband or we’ll get you a helmet.”

“Eddie!”

Eddie stalls for a second and then points to Robin, “You won’t look dumb. Robin has one too.”

“She looks dumb.”

Robin’s just like, “Hey!”

Nancy moves and sits on the coffee table in front of Steve with a look that has faced down interdimensional monsters and sexist bosses all the same. Steve’s going to wear this headband or he’s not playing and they both know it when she says, “Would you rather look stupid now and be able to remember it in five year or be drooling all over yourself when your cognitive functions starts declining after another head injury.”

“Hey, too far,” Eddie chastises, hitting her shoulder. “…But take that into consideration, Stevie. I want you to have fun but-“ 

“It’s going to mess up my hair!”

Nancy throws up her hands, “Then we’ll shave your head!”

“Jesus H. Christ,” Eddie swears under his breath. “Wheeler, reel it in and take a walk. Let me talk to him. Jesus.”

Barça Bond - Fermín López

Authors note: i'm trying to write as much as possible the next few days because exam szn is here and i have a lot of studying to do🙃 so send requests! 🫶🏼

Warnings: incorrect grammar (probably), my first language isn't english so if you notice any mistakes please tell me, just fluff i think

WC: 850+

Summary: You and Fermín, both players for FC Barcelona, developed a bond during training. Despite an injury you suffered defending him, Fermín supported you. Your friendship turned into romance despite teasing from teammates. Supported by your peers, you faced the future together.

You were passionate about football. Every kick of the ball, every sprint down the field, fueled your love for the game. You played for FC Barcelona's women's team, known not just for your skillful footwork and strategic gameplay, but also for your unwavering dedication to the sport.

Fermín was a standout midfielder for the men's team, admired by fans and teammates alike for his agility, precision passes, and ability to read the game. He seemed to glide across the field, effortlessly orchestrating plays and leaving opponents in his wake.

Your paths first crossed during a joint training session organized by the club's coach. As you and Fermín found yourselves on opposing sides of a practice match, there was an immediate spark of recognition. You had seen him play before, of course, but being on the same field together ignited something new—a sense of camaraderie mixed with a hint of rivalry.

Throughout the session, tensions rising on the field. One of the opposing players had been playing particularly aggressively for no reason, and it wasn't long before a heated exchange erupted between them and Fermín.

Without a second thought, you rushed to Fermín's defense, stepping between him and the other player. "Hey, ease up! It's just a friendly scrimmage," you said firmly, trying to defuse the situation.

But before you could even finish your sentence, the other player lunged forward, knocking into you with unexpected force. The impact sent you stumbling backward, your feet tangling beneath you. With a cry of surprise, you fell to the ground, landing hard on your side.

Pain shot through you as you lay there, momentarily stunned. Fermín's voice sounded muffled in your ears as he knelt beside you, concern etched on his face. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen," he said, his hands hovering uncertainly over you.

Gritting your teeth against the pain, you managed a weak nod. "I-I think so," you replied, wincing as you tried to sit up. Fermín's arm slipped around your waist, helping you into a sitting position as he continued to apologize profusely.

With Fermín's support, you managed to stand, albeit shakily. Together, you made your way off the field and towards the club's medical center. Fermín stayed by your side the entire time, his worry evident in every glance he cast your way.

At the medical center, the club's physiotherapist examined you carefully, checking for any signs of serious injury. After a thorough examination, they reassured you that it was just a knock and nothing more. Relief flooded through you, and you couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

Fermín smiled at your reaction, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm glad you're okay," he said softly, his hand reaching out to gently brush against yours.

You smiled back, feeling a warmth spread through you at his touch. "Thanks for staying with me," you said, grateful for his presence and support.

As the season progressed, your teams continued to train together, and you found yourselves drawn to each other during breaks. You struck up conversations about soccer tactics, shared favorite players, and joked about the highs and lows of training sessions.

Off the field, your friendship with Fermín blossomed into something deeper. You discovered that you had much in common beyond soccer. You both loved the thrill of adventure, whether it was trying out new restaurants in town or playing fifa together.

As your bond grew stronger, so did the whispers among your teammates. It wasn't long before they began teasing you about your obvious affection for each other. At first, you brushed off their comments, but as you spent more time together, it became harder to deny the truth—you were falling for Fermín, and he seemed to feel the same way about you.

One evening, after a particularly intense training session, Fermín asked if you'd like to grab a post-practice snack together. You agreed, and as you sat across from each other in a cozy café, sipping hot chocolate and sharing stories, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

As the weeks turned into months, your relationship with Fermín deepened. You supported each other through tough games, celebrated victories together, and lifted each other up in moments of defeat. You discovered new sides to each other—the vulnerabilities hidden beneath the confident facade on the field, the dreams and aspirations that drove you both forward.

Eventually, your relationship became an open secret among your teammates, who wholeheartedly supported you. When you finally decided to make your relationship official, it felt like the perfect culmination of everything you had shared—the victories, the defeats, the laughter, and the tears.

Standing side by side on the field, hand in hand, you and Fermín knew that you were each other's biggest fans, both on and off the pitch. And as you faced whatever challenges the future held, you were confident that together, you could conquer anything.

WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?

kaiser as your shitty university roommate

gender neutral reader

Kaiser’s reputation precedes him quite a bit. It was entirely Noa’s idea to force him to enroll into university, so that he could learn to “properly interact with other kids his age” rather than ripping into them whenever Kaiser felt like it. And with him already being a world-renowned soccer star, he instantly catapults himself as a school celebrity of sorts the very moment he’s enrolled. Everybody fawns over the New Generation World Eleven striker that had crash landed on your university campus, eager to get to know him and claim their stake at short-lived popularity and fame through him. Of course, it’s your luck that you’d somehow end up being assigned to him as your roommate through the school’s random roommate assignment.

Kaiser genuinely thought it would be a piece of cake to win you over—practically everybody at school is head-over-heels for him! But he’s such a shitty roommate, you can’t see him as anything except a conceited, spoiled brat that can’t even wipe his own ass. You’re sick of being greeted with a sink filled with dirty classes, filthy cleats dumped on your common area floor, the toilet seat being left up, and his sweaty jerseys draped over the couch. As if to add insult to injury, Kaiser insists that you be grateful to room with him—as if you’re not the one that has to put up with his godforsaken living habits.

Your hatred quickly morphs into apathy as you give up dealing with him and pretends as if he doesn’t exist. It throws Kaiser for the biggest loop ever. He pretends it doesn’t bother him. Why should your attention matter when he could easily bag the hottest person in school or get invited to the most exclusive parties? But something about you giving him the cold shoulder or even refusing to greet him “good morning” as you storm to class has him squirming and antsy, and he becomes increasingly more desperate to get you to let go of your nonchalance. He tries being more obnoxious at first, shooting you a cheeky smirk as he drags his latest hook-up into your shared dorm, only for it to backfire when you pack up your things and leave a note telling him that you’re going to crash at a friend’s place instead if he doesn’t get his shit together.

It’s a horrendous wake up call for the prodigy. At first he shrugs it off. You’re his roommate that nobody knows about; isn’t it better to have the dorm all to himself? But Kaiser instantly grows lonely. He can’t annoy you in the mornings before your lectures, and he can’t steal the snacks out of your fridge if you’re not there. Even the fact that your toothbrush isn’t propped up against his in the shared bathroom makes the boy’s heart pang with need, and the once crowded dorm seems so terribly big now that it’s just him in it. The breaking point comes for him when you ignore him outside in public too: he eagerly bounds up to you after class one day to smooth things over, only to have you completely brush him aside. 

He wants to win your trust over so badly that everyone else notices his strange behavior too. The arrogant emperor of the school starts getting on his knees to help clean up around the dorm and carries his weight, and as if to apologize, Kaiser brings home pretty gifts and offers to cook you your meals. He doesn’t know where along the line he’s fallen so badly, but it drives him insane to know that the one person who isn’t flattered by his ridiculous titles or even his wealth is the one person he wants so badly. He slowly ignores the catcalls and invitations from his groupies to spend more time with you: proposing movie nights as a sign of goodwill, walking you to class, and even volunteering to clean the bathroom unprompted.

Once the threat of you moving out is removed though, Kaiser still keeps his cheeky behavior. You could be cooking your dinner, and he’ll sneak up from behind to wrap his arms around your waist and rest his head wherever he can. And when you yelp and scold him, he’ll smirk and comment about how he loves the domesticity! It’s like the two of you are a married couple, except instead of you blushing and giving in, you’ll simply smack him with a wooden spoon and tell him to do the homework he’s been putting off for months. Not that it matters to him—Kaiser will just stick his tongue out and giggle about how you’ll “come around” soon enough.

Kaiser’s painfully aware that he’s been lacking severely in the “good roommate” department, but he’ll do his very best to make up for it by being the world’s best boyfriend! He’s determined to have you in his life in some way, and even though his time at the university’s limited, he’ll follow after you like he’s attached to your hip. It’s such a power rush, knowing that THE Michael Kaiser would do anything at your beck-and-call, and with every passing day that you start trusting him again, Kaiser can’t wait for the day when you progress from being his thorny roommate to his one and only darling. He firmly believes your place isn’t at an arm’s length, confined to the awkward acquaintance of sharing a dorm, as much as it is as his significant other, held close to his heart.

“Awwww, is the dorm too cramped for the two of us? You know, if you married me, that wouldn’t be a problem! C’mon, I have the paycheck for it. We’ll get hitched, and I’ll buy the biggest house on the block for us to share! Ah, but we have to share a bedroom if we do that though! A little give-and-take is only fair, don’t you think?”

ROUND 2: PROFILES — unreliable detectives

ROUND 2: dazai osamu x gn!reader

SYNOPSIS: When you decided to attend Chuya's volleyball game, you didn't expect to see a familiar face. A face of someone you thought you would've never see again; what's more annoying however, is seeing said face repeatedly.

round 2 master list

DAZAI OSAMU : A senior attending ADA high with all AP classes, which no one knows how he managed to get into let alone pass. #1 PM high slanderer with the only context people have is that he used to attend there, but the group chat knows.

ABILITY : No Longer Human — this gives him the power to nullify the Ability of anyone he touches

EDOGAWA RANPO : Definitely a senior at ADA high that doesn't get mistaken as a sophomore, 100%; that also seems to be his average at all times. Claims to have an ability, but he isn't fooling anyone with that — not even himself, so everyone pretends he does.

ABILITY : none

NAKAJIMA ATUSHI : A junior on ADA high's soccer team. It has become a common joke that whenever he falls on the field he chronically shakes his ass. Before being adopted by Dazai and Kunikida, he was just a zoned out loner, so he's glad he has the ability to make memories with the friends he has.

ABILITY : Beast Beneath the Moonlight — this gives him the power to transform into a white tiger

KUNIKIDA DOPPO : An ADA senior on the boy's volleyball team, whose biggest rival is the PM volleyball team. He doesn't enjoy slander, but he makes an exception for when Dazai trashed the PM's volleyball team, then he goes all out.

ABILITY : The Matchless Poet — this lets him use the pages of his notebook to create items, but the size of the items cannot be larger than the notebook

YOSANO AKIKO : A senior attending ADA high, who has her own connections at PM high. Albeit they aren't as negative as the rest of the friend groups, she still has qualms with the institution.

ABILITY : Thou Shalt Not Die — this allows her to heal external injuries on the condition that they're half-dead

Get To Know Me Tag

Tagged by @telomeke @lurkingshan @my-rose-tinted-glasses @he-is-lightning-in-a-bottle and @hyeoni-comb thank you all! 💕

Do you make your bed?

I like a messy bed, it feels more welcoming to me somehow. The only time I make my bed is when I'm without heat and it's winter, then you gotta do it to keep in any residual warmth! But normally I'd rather keep everything loose.

What’s your favorite number?

I....don't think I have one? Is this a thing people have, how do you choose?

What is your job?

I manage a team of Product Owners in the Operations division of a multinational company. In other words, I go to a lot of meetings.

If you could go back to school, would you?

Absolutely not. Beyond the fact that I was formerly a substantive editor of university textbooks, which included both editing the textbook content and sometimes writing their ancillaries (tests, powerpoint slides, etc.) so it feels like I took first-year Sociology at least ten times, I just don't love formalized education. I love learning but on my own terms and at my own pace.

Can you parallel park?

I can't drive at all! Technically I learned how, took lessons and everything, but never got my license.

A job you had that would surprise people?

Hmm. I was a call center person for half a day, it was terrible and I left without getting paid for the work I did because I was so eager to get out of there I didn't want to fight them for my pay (even though I needed the money which is why I was there in the first place). I hate phone calls, I can't hear well on the phone, and it was clear the call center script was designed to be exploitative. It was one of the worst jobs for me I could have taken lol

Do you think aliens are real?

I think it's extremely likely!

Can you drive a manual car?

Nope, even when I learned, it was only on an automatic.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

I'm not guilty about it but I can decimate an entire family size mac and cheese when I'm feeling down.

Tattoos?

I have 3 tattoos; one on each foot and one on the back of my neck. They form a rainbow.

Favorite color?

Blue-green! The shade of preference for any given moment varies, but anything in the region from mint to aqua to teal to turquoise will do; I love them all.

Favorite type of music?

My music taste varies widely but the common denominators are 1) fast tempo or upbeat, 2) solid harmonies, and 3) if there's a tempo or key change I am doubly sold.

Do you like puzzles?

Love puzzles of all kinds. I have a collection of jigsaw puzzles I do regularly, and word puzzles, logic puzzles, sudoku type stuff is all very fun. I don't make a lot of time for them but I do them occasionally and always enjoy it.

Any phobias?

I am afraid of falling. Not heights, but falling. The difference is: I can lean over the railing at the top of a 20-storey building or walk on a glass floor over a big drop and just feel a minor thrill, but am terrified to the point of maybe crying if I have to balance on a single step of a ladder or walk across a patch of ice. I had several brushes with death related to falling when I was a kid, and a few bad falls that caused injury as an adult, so it makes sense. Luckily I am pretty tall so I rarely have to do any kind of ladder-ing!

Favorite childhood sport?

American-style tackle football. We used to play at lunch on the pavement because the soccer kids got the field; we played in all seasons including snow, and we did it for love of the sport. I loved it a lot.

Do you talk to yourself?

Occasionally I'll provide a little commentary on what's happening aloud to myself; but I don't really have fully conversations.

What movies do you adore?

I have loved a lot of movies in my time! A few random ones that come to mind right now because I've been thinking about them for whatever reason are Saving Face (2004), Monster (2023), Practical Magic (1998), Moonlight (2016), and Clue (1985).

Coffee or tea?

Despite my username being a type of tea, in this as in all things I am a perfect Kinsey 3. Love both equally and drink a ton of both (coffee more regularly, tea in greater volume).

First thing you wanted to be growing up?

Lifeguard, I think! And then when I was in elementary school I wanted to edit textbooks (I was that kid who got annoyed whenever there were mistakes), so I did actually get to do my childhood dream job.

No pressure tags just going with vibes based on who I've interacted with recently (if you've done this already tag me in the comments!): @rocketturtle4 @visualtaehyun @sollucets @troubled-mind @jimmysea @ginnymoonbeam

Old Wounds Masterlist

Old Wounds: A Gwynriel College AU

Gwyneth was Velaris University's star swimmer. . . emphasis on was. After a nasty rotator cuff injury, she's been ordered to take the rest of the season off and attend weekly physical therapy sessions, which is less than ideal considering her whole college education is funded by an athletic scholarship. It isn't all bad though. She has PT at the same time as a very intimidatingly attractive soccer player, and much to Gwyn's surprise, they've got quite a bit in common. But between work, school, her physical therapy, and continuing to support the swim team, Gwyn has no time to be crushing on anyone. Not to mention said hot soccer player is part of a rival friend group and he doesn't seem remotely interested in Gwyn at all. What's a girl to do.

This is my first ever fic for ACOTAR and I'm super excited to finally be participating in fandom for once. I hope you'll all enjoy!

Load Distribution and Ligament Mechanics in High-Impact Sports: Pristyn Care Insights

The most common causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are rampant but they are detrimental to athletes, especially those who engage in high-impact sports such as soccer, basketball, and football. Such injuries can cause a career change that takes longer for an athlete to recover from and may potentially lead to knee dysfunctionality. To have a better understanding of these injuries, one must know the biomechanical forces involved during sporting activities. ACL stress and possible tears are revealed by using the biomechanical analysis of movement which shows how various actions along with their associated forces contribute.

Pristyn Healthcare is at the forefront of advanced medical solutions integrating state-of-the-art biomechanical analyses into their treatment protocols through which they offer all-inclusive treatment options designed for athletes and sports enthusiasts only. Their emphasis is mainly on incorporating advanced diagnostics into personalized treatment plans leading to improved recovery outcomes for sports-related injuries.

Pristyn Care is focused on ensuring that sportspersons receive interventions that will minimize the time taken to heal after an injury has been sustained while maximizing functional recovery through innovative techniques coupled with individualized care. This distinction is what sets Pristyn Healthcare, allowing athletes to regain optimal safety and efficacy in response to their highest-level performance.

Learning About ACL Injuries

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) acts to stabilize the knee as well as to enable it to perform complicated, high-performance activities like pivoting, jumping, and direction change. It connects the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) and hence important to prevent excess forward and rotational tibial movement. ACL injury is almost always a noncontact injury, which means a direct contact or a specific force is not applied to the knee; for example, awkward landing from a jump or sudden deceleration could overload the ligament.

An ACL tear is a tough injury to go through — not only excruciating in pain, with big signs of swelling, but it also throws in the prospect of poor athletic performance, reduced mobility, and even arthritis. Injury is the most common reason athletes experience a long rehabilitation process. Therefore, knowledge of the biomechanical bases of such lesions will be very useful in the development of successful preventive and therapeutic strategies. Pristyn Care uses that in bettering the care and recovery of the athletes in the immediate treatment and long-term joint health domains.

Biomechanics of the ACL

The biomechanics of the anterior cruciate ligament should be intact for knee stability when indulging in dynamic and high-impaction sports. The ligament endures different forces but predominantly endures tension and shear; they might talk about the movement that was performed. These forces are what the anterior cruciate ligament should oppose to work in tension during different activities, such as jumping, landing, or turning so as to avoid the tibia sliding forward relative to the femur. Accordingly, there should be shear forces to oppose knee twisting during rotary movements. The distribution of loading around the knee is one key aspect of the stress to the ACL.

The ligament’s load capacity will be exceeded in the event of poor alignment of the knee joint when performing sports movements. Misalignment and uneven load distribution will further increase the likelihood of ligament rips. Moreover, muscle forces around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings, have a great role in ACL strain. These muscles help to stabilize the knee, but in case they over contract or are not timed properly during activities, the load on the ACL may be increased. Effective management of these forces in a way that avoids injury requires proper training and conditioning of the ACL.

High-impact sports and the risk of suffering an ACL

In high-impact sports, such as soccer, basketball, and skiing, athletes routinely participate in motions that place them at greater risk for ACL injuries. And each of these typically involves a stop involving a high rate of velocity, a change of direction at a high rate of speed, and possibly jumping and landing under these conditions, each of which could place enormous strain against the ACL. Soccer players may have the history of quick pivoting with locked knee episodes, perhaps causing the ACL tear from awkward foot placement, while basketball players and poor landing mechanics are at high risk during jump shots and rebounds if excessive knee valgus is coming into play.

It is without a doubt among the sports with the highest rates of ACL injury in the game statistically. In fact, researchers have shown that females who play basketball and soccer are outstandingly more at high risk, relative to the incurred injury rates, than their male counterparts.

This is countered by many training programs in place today, armed with exercises of paramount specificity, the only aim of which is the increasing of neuromuscular control that brings about a balance in proper landing techniques. All these are actually preventive approaches that are specifically tailored toward the strengthening of muscles around the knee in an attempt to get improved mechanics of athletes during high-motion risk movements, hence reducing chances of them ever sustaining ACL injuries. Such targeted training is essential for long-term knee health and performance in their sports.

Biomechanical Analysis in Injury Prevention and Treatment

Biomechanical analysis is a key ingredient of developing the next steps in prevention strategies for sport injury and treatment. For example, an understanding of the forces and motions that create injury will point researchers and practitioners toward the design of more effective protective equipment in ways that can provide more optimal alignment to the natural motions of the body and elevated defense against targeted mechanisms of injury.

For example, new findings will promote the development of more anatomically correct knee braces and shoes that are optimized for both shock absorption and stability. Moreover, biomechanical findings are applied in surgical planning and are simultaneously tested in rehabilitation protocols. For one, this information is used to customize techniques for ACL reconstruction to individual anatomy and activity intended by the patient, with better prospects for the outcomes of surgery.

Rehabilitation protocols profit from biomechanical analysis as well, but physical therapists can set up individual rehabilitation programs based on the correction of biomechanical deficiencies that likely contributed to an injury. Pristyn Care includes biomechanical analysis in their treatment regime which adds up to the exact and effective surgeries and therapies administered by them. In fact, the crux of the Pristyn Care reviews mainly focuses on the innovative process and the result of the treatment of sports injuries were positively achieved.

Description: Colm is a “leap before you look” type of person who makes a lot of decisions without thinking things through. It’s a tendency exacerbated by the young man’s disregard for his own life and his beliefs that other people’s lives are worth more than his. He eventually learns his own worth, but he still remains quite guarded and private, leaving people to wonder if they actually know him. In addition, Colm is intelligent and a generally gregarious and friendly man, which is sometimes overshadowed by his impulsivity and guarded nature. He enjoys spending time with people, especially the cherished few who get to see beyond his guarded walls. Colm is also quite proud of his Irishness, and is an avid supporter of the Irish independence movement which has also been a big influence in his life.

✧ MAGIC ✧

Wand: Colm’s wand is made of ash wood with a dragon heartstring core and is 10 ⅓ inches with an unyielding flexibility. 

⤷ Those witches and wizards best suited to ash wands were not lightly swayed from their beliefs or purposes, the ideal owner might be stubborn, and would certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant. However, the brash or over-confident witch or wizard, who often insisted of trying wands on this prestigious wood, would be disappointed by its effects. An ash wand cleaved to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it would lose power and skill. This tendency was extreme if the core was of unicorn hair.

✧ FAMILY ✧

Father: Michael Patrick “Mick” O’Shea [deceased, 1870-1899]

A member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, Michael Patrick “Mick” O’Shea was born to poor Catholic farmers in 1870. He had a good early childhood, but was orphaned at the age of 16 after his parents fell ill. They were forced to sell their farm in order to pay off their debts, a move that started Mick’s overt support of the Irish Republican cause as he was never able to let go of the farm that had been in his family for generations. At the age of 18, Mick joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood and began his work for the cause. Through a mission, Mick met his wife, Joan, and fell hard and fast for her. They began courting three months after meeting and married six months after the beginning of their courtship in 1892. Less than two years later, Mick and Joan welcomed their first and only child, a son named Colm Michael, who was born on August 27, 1894. However, Mick didn’t get much time with his son as he was arrested alongside his wife in 1898 and they were charged with planning an insurrection against British rule in Ireland. He was convicted and Mick died in prison, at the age of 29 after falling prey to pneumonia. 

Colm has very few memories of his father and none of them are concrete. This is mostly because he was only four years old when his father was arrested and five when his father died. Therefore, he never really had the opportunity to know his father and based his impressions on the few memories he has of his father. Colm does wish that he could have truly known his father and not base everything on his few memories. In some ways, this can be named as the moment that really started Colm’s resentment of the British authority. 

Mother: Joan Catherine O’Shea née Butler [deceased, 1871-1907]

A witch sorted into Ravenclaw, Joan Catherine Butler was born in 1871 as the only daughter and eldest child of pureblood parents. She attended Hogwarts and became a prefect in her fifth year. After graduating, Joan was employed by the ministry of magic in the muggle liaison office. It was her career in the muggle liaison office that led Joan to meeting Mick O’Shea. Mick had seen a small incident of magic, and Joan was supposed to report him to the obliviators. Except Joan never turned Mick into the obliviators, as she was fascinated by him and he wasn’t quite sure what he had seen. Within a year of meeting, Joan had fallen in love with and had married Mick. Her family stopped talking to her, and after her son, Colm Michael, was born on August 27, 1894, she retired. In addition, Joan found herself drawn into her husband’s world of Irish independence, a cause that Joan had always been kinda fascinated by. Unfortunately, everything fell apart when Joan and Mick were arrested in the fall of 1898. They were both convicted of planning an insurrection against the British government. Instead of being condemned to execution, Joan spent nine long years in jail, aware that her husband had died and her son was alone. She died in prison, at the age of 36, from pneumonia secondary to influenza. Over the years, though, Joan had grown bitter as the ministry had not interfered, and she never knew what had happened to her son.

Like with his father, Colm has very few memories of his mother due to the fact that he was only four years old when she was arrested and because he was not allowed to visit her in prison and any letters that he tried to write were always returned. He only has impressions of what his mother was like, both from his own fuzzy memories and the few of his parents’ belongings that he was able to keep. Colm does wish that he had more memories of his mother and that he actually had the opportunities to know her. This also leads to senses of resentment towards the ministry of magic. 

Pets: 

Childhood: None

Adulthood: An Irish wolfhound named Daisy

✧ ROMANCE & CHILDREN ✧

Love Interest: Ione Lumina Avery (@cursed-herbalist) 

⤷ Colm first officially met Ione Avery after a quidditch training mishap in their seventh year, although they were both Gryffindors who had run in different social circles. From 1912 to 1914, Colm and Ione dated in secret, having excursions and dates in the muggle populated parts of England, Wales, and Ireland. However, their relationship was not yet meant to last as an engagement popped up for Ione, who wasn’t quite yet ready to openly rebel against the wishes of her parents. The relationship ended, leaving Colm, who had been working on saving for a ring of his own, heartbroken. In late 1918, they met again, this time in a war hospital where Colm was recovering from burns and a badly broken leg. Ione had been looking for her brother but stumbled upon Colm. After that chance meeting, they began to slowly reconnect and get to know one another again. Everything isn’t smooth, but Colm and Ione married on December 6, 1921.

Daughter: Mabel Lunette Joan O’Shea

Slytherin | b. February 24, 1923

Colm has a good relationship with his eldest daughter. He is quite proud of Mabel and everything that she accomplished and tries his best to support her with everything that Mabel puts her mind to. He loves her very much. 

Faceclaim: Paula Beer

Son: Delton Alistair Michael “Del” O’Shea

Gryffindor | b. September 20, 1925

Colm has a generally good relationship with his only son. However, due to Del being a bit too much like him, there’s a lot of arguing between the father and son. Despite all of that, though, Colm is very proud of his son and loves Del very much. 

Faceclaim: Florian Regtien

Daughter: Willa Millicent Odessa O’Shea

Hufflepuff | Prefect | Headgirl | Heterosexual | b. March 21, 1929

Colm has a good relationship with his youngest daughter. He really adores Willa and they have a close relationship. Willa is his quietest kid and there’s something that just draws the two of them together. They’re also different enough that they don’t have many arguments as Willa is very much an introvert. He’s quite proud of Willa and he loves her very much. 

Faceclaim: Willow Shields

Son: Arden Colm Curtis O’Shea

Ravenclaw | Seeker | Heterosexual | b. October 14, 1933

Colm has a good relationship with his youngest son. Arden is just different enough from Colm that they don’t cause too much friction from having too similar personalities, which is seen with Colm and Del. Like with Willa, there’s something that draws the two of them together and Arden’s love for quidditch is something that they can bond over. Colm is quite proud of Arden and loves his youngest son very much.

✧ HISTORY & BACKGROUND ✧

Place of Birth: Kells, County Meath, Ireland

Hometown: Navan, County Meath, Ireland

Childhood: 

Colm Michael O’Shea, born August 27, 1894, was the only child of Mick and Joan O’Shea of Kells, County Meath, Ireland. The first four years of his life and childhood were good, happy. He had two parents that loved him dearly. However, that all came to an abrupt stop one blustery November night in 1898 when the police came knocking and arrested Mick and Joan, charging them with conspiracy to commit an insurrection. That November night was the last that Colm ever saw or spoke to his parents. They were convicted and both died in prison, with Mick dying in 1899 and Joan dying eight years later in 1907. 

After that, Colm was taken in by Saint Jerome’s Home for Orphaned Children in Navan, County Meath, Ireland. St. Jerome’s was run by nuns from the area’s Catholic parish. However, strange things seemed to follow Colm, which unbeknownst to him was magic. Unfortunately, his displays of magic resulted in conflicting opinions from the nuns and the two local priests. One priest and several nuns believed that his displays of magic were signs that Colm was destined to become a saint and perform miracles. The other priest and remaining nuns, on the other hand, believed that his magic meant that Colm was infected by the devil. Either way, the conflicting opinions made his life rather miserable and lonely as very few of the other children were interested in being around him. Luckily, on his eleventh birthday, things became a little clearer as Colm received his Hogwarts letter.

Hogwarts Years:

Upon starting Hogwarts, Colm was quickly sorted into Gryffindor. It took him a while to feel comfortable at Hogwarts and was rather standoffish those first few weeks. He felt awkward and struggled to connect with those around him. Eventually he grew comfortable with Hogwarts and his peers. In his third year, he decided to try out for the quidditch team and earned the position of keeper. He played alongside future Ballycastle Bats seeker, Rory O’Neill whom Colm also shared a dorm with. He enjoyed his time at Hogwarts, but struggled quite a bit when it came to planning his future.

In his seventh year, Colm began a clandestine romance with fellow Gryffindor Ione Avery. They officially met when a quidditch practice got a little out of control (and, in Colm’s opinion, O’Neill should have been paying less attention to that Ashby girl and more to the team). A slow friendship and subtle romance began burning between the two and eventually became their secret romance. 

Adulthood:

After graduating from Hogwarts, Colm began working odd manual jobs and flitting between the muggle and magical worlds. He also continued his relationship with Ione Avery, where they would often spend time in the muggle world. Things were going fairly smooth for Colm until late 1914. His relationship with Ione fell apart due to the mechanisms of her parents. His opportunities for work were starting to dwindle as well and by December, he was living on his meager savings. One snowy evening, Colm was approached by a pair of well-dressed wizards who had been watching his work as a bartender in a pub. They made him an offer to work as an intelligence operative for the Ministry of Magic’s covert intelligence agency. Nursing a bad heartache, doubting his own abilities, and being at what was probably his lowest, Colm readily agreed and the next day saw him joining the British military and training to be deployed to the Western Front of World War 1.

For a year, he served in an Irish regiment before the regiment was dispersed for unknown reasons in January of 1916. For the next several months, he bounced around between companies and grew disillusioned with the war. The moment that he became fully disillusioned, though, came in May of 1916 when he learned of how the British government had reacted to the Easter Rising and the executions of the Rising’s leaders. Any restraint that Colm had about badmouthing the British was gone and he gained a reputation for being an Irish Republican. He finally was assigned to the company of Kit Enfield, where he remained for the rest of the war and began reconnecting with those in the magical world.

In July of 1918, Colm’s time in the British army ended abruptly after an explosion trapped him in a burning barn in the countryside. He was severely injured, and was found unconscious and clutching a rosary. He was very lucky that he escaped without a head injury, but his back was covered in second degree burns and his left leg was badly broken which resulted in a permanent limp. His other permanent war injury was tinnitus or ringing in the ears. His path to healing was slow, but he managed to avoid any infections and didn’t contract the Spanish flu as a pandemic of influenza was attacking the globe from 1918 to 1920. In addition, while in the hospital, Colm began reconnecting with Ione Avery who had accidentally discovered him in the hospital while looking for her brother.

After he’s discharged from both the hospital and the British military, Colm returns home to Ireland, finding a small flat in Dublin that he can just cover with his discharge sum. It’s only a matter of time before his time as an intelligence operative ends, but Colm could feel the rumblings of discontent. He voted for Sinn Féin in that December 1918 election, and less than two months later, the Irish war of independence had begun. 

He manages to convince the ministry that the conflict is rife with the possibilities of dark wizards or witches taking advantage of the chaos. It’s not like the Great War, but god, this fight means something to Colm. And so, he continued with his intelligence work until the war ended in 1921, but didn't officially end his work until late 1922. That work had mostly finished before the civil war, over the Anglo-Irish treaty, that followed the Irish independence war erupted, though. Colm himself had spent hours and hours pouring over any information he could find on the treaty, making an informed decision for one of the first times in his life. 

On December 6, 1921, Colm married Ione Avery in a somewhat small ceremony. They had spent the years between 1918 and 1921 reconnecting and restarting their relationship. Together they had four children. Their eldest was a daughter named Mabel Lunette Joan O’Shea, who was born on February 24, 1923. Their middle child was their only boy who was named Delton Alistair Michael “Del” O’Shea and was born on September 20, 1925. Their third child was a second daughter named Willa Millicent Odessa O’Shea, who was born on March 21, 1929. Their fourth and youngest child was a second son named Arden Colm Curtis O’Shea, who was born on October 14, 1933.

After his career as an intelligence operative, Colm worked as TBD. 

Old Age:

After retiring at the age of 98, Colm spent his retirement traveling Ireland and visiting everything beautiful about his country. He also spent time with Ione and their children and grandchildren.

Death: 

Colm passed away in his sleep at the age of 106 in late 2000. He left behind four children, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

Trivia:

Colm has a complicated relationship with religion, mostly as a result of the people around him. As he grew up and before Hogwarts, there were two dominant opinions about him and the weirdness that followed him. The first one was that his accidental magic were miracles and a sign that he would become a saint and perform many miracles. The other idea was that his accidental magic was a sign of the devil. Neither view won out and all it did was distant Colm from religion, until he lay, trapped, in a burning barn and clutched his rosary, reciting the Our Father. 

Colm is left with a mild case of PTSD or shell shock. He’s good most of the time, but there are some things that just set him off. He also learns how to cope with it as time passes. 

Colm has a tendency to run his mouth and not think before he speaks, especially on topics that he’s passionate about. During the war, it’s usually his frustrations with the English government, especially in relation to the aftermath of 1916’s Easter Rising. 

His nickname, Cloverboy, came from his fellow soldiers, and Joel Mayfair, in particular. 

His theme song is Hurt, specifically the cover by Johnny Cash.

[danganronpafan777]

If I remember correctly, Mitch's video didn't showed any of his relatives, but about how the FIFA and other soccer-related stuff was collapsing because of the Tragedy.

So yeah, the class 79's video motives probably didn't had their families and loved ones in danger as the common threat to murder.

I can’t believe I forgot about that! Thanks for reminding me! However, didn’t he mention being worried about his teammates being in danger?

Also, I think Ayame says something about her competitors (or racemates? Idk anything about sprinting-) being badly injured, thus why she didn’t mind having the leg injury if she got out with Akane

Idk, you have a point tho, their motives mostly showed casualties and results of the tragedy

Poor fake Yuki had it worst 😭

[burningcomputers]

Hi! A quick “gettin to know me” :

So I’m new to Tumblr, like brand new. But I’ve been a huge soccer fan and player nearly my whole life. I also played in college and semi-pro, until a career-ending injury took me out. Now, I get my fill of soccer by obsessively watchin my favorite teams (Barça, Arsenal, and the USWNT).

I’m 24 with dark, curly hair. Slim, athletic build, standin at about 5’7”, I’m the human embodiment of a golden retriever. As my best friend once said, “German Shepard ☀️, Golden Retriever 🌙, Belgian Malinois 🌅.”

I have several dress styles—the most common are the street style, business formal, and cowboy looks. As y’all might have noticed, I don’t like to add “g” at the end of my present participles. It’s the Texan in me 🤠 which is reflected in my dress and in my writin. Speakin of, my old nickname was Tex. Y’all can call me that or make up your own!

I’ve written some fanfics before, but never shared ‘em. I would love to start, definitely super nervous. If anyone would like to send any requests, feel free to DM me. I haven’t yet figured out how to add all the hyperlinks yet…but I will!

Excited to start this journey and maybe my works will be somethin that people can get behind and enjoy!
