JJK OLYMPICS OHHH YOURE A GENIUS

head spinning w sooooooo many athlete aus rn….. 

satoru honestly isn’t half as cocky as the media makes him out to be but he could be because you bring up world champion men’s freestyle swim times and it’s his name on the scoreboard ten times before someone else shows up. he’s faster than himself by fifteen seconds all around, he’s earned a bit of cockiness. mentioned in the last post that whenever he’s at a competition and he finishes a race, he looks at the camera and signs a little infinity sign and then blows a kiss to you. some bitter old coach always calls him out on it, and gets him fined for unsportsmanlike conduct, and he’s happy to pay the fees if it means getting a message home to you, but eventually you two come up with a new code; and at his next race, he places gold, turns to the camera, crosses his middle finger over his pointer finger and smiles. when he’s in his post-race interview, he makes sure to explain that he does it for you with the widest smile on his face.

megumi nepotism baby but not in the same sport. toji was a multi gold medalist back in his heyday for shooting, so it’s not really a surprise to anybody that megumi has scary good aim, but he takes to archery instead of shooting. actually the idea of megumi being an emo little kid and throwing rocks at a tree when his dad pissed him off his hilarious, and even funnier is toji watching him, slightly amused and a little scared because megumi is maybe six and hitting the exact same spot every single time. he grows to be very blase about it—it’s more of a release/hobby for him that he happens to be really good at, and well, now good enough to earn a few olympic medals. megumi is not a fan of having his dad ruffle his hair on international television after he’s won, but he supposes it can’t be helped.

i don’t know where to put yuuta…. tennis…. tempting….. him in his little white shorts…. little grunts after he serves…. cries….. a complete 180 in his personality when he’s playing vs doing anything else. so charming and sweet and kinda shy when he’s being interviewed, and the second he steps on the court his eyes are so cold it’s scary…. need him… extremely nerdy about his rackets, and shoes, and clothes, and rambles to you about aerodynamics and posture and torque whenever you ask him to teach you, and you always have to shutup him up with a kiss and remind him that yeah you sort of want to learn to play tennis for him, but mostly you came bc he looks hot doing it. once he got asked in an interview if he ever thinks about you while he’s playing and his response was very concise, “no, never. it would be a big distraction,” and did not realize the implications of his heavily televised words. 

also…. not to make this post 40% yuuta but we could pull from canon a bit and make his sport fencing. he doesn’t excel because he’s the strongest, it’s because he’s learned to treat the sword as an extension of himself and a good strategist… also because i like the image of him pulling the helmet/mask off and shaking his hair out………..

don’t even know where to put yuuji…. volleyball? basketball? track and field??? the irony of him easily being the most athletic but canonically does not want to play sports 😭 but i can see him playing a sport because someone scouts him and it turns out to be a way to make steady money to support himself and his grandpa :( by the time he’s qualified and made it to the olympics, wasuke is doing much better (thanks to yuuji having landed some preemptive sponsorships and being able to afford better medical care), but not so well enough that he can travel across the world to watch yuuji play. wasuke tells you that you should travel and be with yuuji, but yuuji is so touched by the idea that you would stay with his grandpa and be by his side when he’s away :(( he wins gold, of course, and he doesn’t even wait until the closing ceremony—which, he’d mentioned in all of his interviews, so nobody can be too upset. he’s on record saying, “i’m excited to play, but i’m even happier to be going home. my girlfriend and my grandpa are watching me and i miss them!” several times— he’s on the first flight home with flowers, and tears in his eyes. puts his gold medal on his grandpa’s neck as a thank you, and spends probably thirty minutes straight hugging you and kissing you and honestly don’t put it past him to propose now that he’s got nike ambassador money 

nanami started judo as a way to relieve the stress of his overbearing job, and someone at the gym/training center notices he seems to be a natural despite being a beginner. he starts to draw a crowd, which annoys him at first because the point of judo was discipline and release from having to deal with too many people at his office job, but nanami supposes he can’t be too mad when you introduce yourself as a talent scout and offer him professional training. there’s irony in him accepting your offer, because it was definitely not based in professionalism at all… quitting his job as a salaryman to become a professional athlete in his mid-twenties was not on his bingo chart, but if it means he will have met you, then so be it. you’re with him all the way, through his training, competitions, world championships, qualifiers, all the way until he’s on the podium. you’re the first to congratulate him, but he interjects by telling you he’s quitting. you ask him why—he just won at the olympics for crying out loud, but nanami just shakes his head, puts down his flowers and his medal so his hands are free to hold your face and tell you, “it would be unethical to kiss my manager, so i am quitting.” (later, when everything is said and done, and you two are cuddling, you mention to him that he could just hire a new manager, and not quit his new career, to which he blushes because yeah… that’s probably more rational, but rational was not in his train of thought at the time)

Through actions like protests, letter-writings, die-ins, and more, we defeated 21 out of 22 anti-LGBTQ+ bills attempting to move through the Florida legislature. One of these bills, HB 1639, sponsored by local representative Doug Bankson, was particularly egregious. It sought to redefine "sex" in a way that excludes transgender, non-binary, and intersex people, and to prohibit a person's state identification documents from reflecting their gender identity. As the bill was heading towards its downfall in the legislature, the Deputy Executive Director, Robert Kynoch, of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) released a memo to county tax collectors in late January rescinding previous department policy (IR08 - Gender Requirements), which allowed for Florida residents to change the gender marker on their ID to accurately reflect their gender identity. The memo wrongly excludes gender identity from "sex" in an effort to subvert the democratic process to redefine sex - and prohibit gender marker amendments - absent legislative authority. In a similar way, the legislature continued its attacks on the rights of immigrants and people experiencing homelessness in the form of HB 1451. This bill, which passed and was signed into law by DeSantis, restricts the acceptance of community IDs issued by community organizations to immigrants and individuals experiencing homelessness. Community IDs are essential for demonstrating that a person is a resident and member of a given community. It is already tremendously difficult for these groups to acquire valid identification, and this law imposes yet another barrier to identification.' /End ID]

To be honest this may be a hot take but i think AOTD taking place in 2020 was just an error. No way SEVEN YEARS passed without it being directly mentioned. The events of the main show took place over the span of seven years (2006-2013). Imo i think it takes place in 2014, at most a year after doomstar requiem

👀 eyedbarls

send me a 👀 and i’ll post a snippet of art/writing that i never got around to finishing this year

hmm okay let's see what i got in here [spins wheel]

so @thetrashbagswasteland has been forcibly indoctrinating me into dr who and there's a specific quote from nine and rose that was just. quintessentially sparky and it spawned a whole one-shot with goyle and sparky and baby callie, i do want to finish it but i doubt it'll be before the end of the year unless a frenzy hits so here have this from the buildup:

--

Anita huffed and shook herself, stuffing her hands in her pockets. They'd been on the galactic stage for a little over a year already, but at the rate they were going, humanity would never get their embassy. The asari were nice enough, very welcoming, but the salarians liked to debate, and the turians...

Well. The less said about them, the better.

She took a deep breath as she walked, trying to push her brain into focusing on literally anything else. It really was a lovely park, if she was honest. The flowers lining the pathway were pretty, all sorts of colors and styles. Her mum would like the fluffy lavender ones, probably. Maybe she'd see if they could possibly grow on Earth, take some home for the garden. A fountain bubbled in a pond nearby, and she wondered if there were fish to feed. No ducks, of course, but a few small bird-like creatures were hopping around in the branches of one of the trees she passed, twittering amongst each other. There were even some bugs flitting about around the flowers, shiny jewel-tone things with wide wings gliding lazily between blossoms.

God, she’d love to have that kind of nonchalance about the universe at the moment.

Eager croaks and chattering that didn’t quite form themselves into words drew her attention. She wasn’t the only one interested in the insects, it seemed; a small, dull brown turian, clumps of fuzzy down still clinging stubbornly to its face and forearms, was a short way’s away, chasing the bugs with outstretched hands and jumping into the air to try and catch them. It didn't seem to be having much luck, but it didn't seem bothered. Little hands clapped shut on empty air, and a mad giggle filled the air as the fuzzball just tried again. Something in Anita's chest eased slightly watching it, the simple joy of the moment nearly infectious.

Until motion out of the corner of her eye drew her attention, and she turned to see the much bigger, dark brown adult male supervising from a bench who’d just adjusted his crossed legs and tipped his head to watch her.

She froze, some rabbity thing in the back of her head taking rapid-fire note of the exposed talons on the father's hands and feet. One of the navy officers who’d argued about the cease-fire, some know-it-all named Hackett, flashed into her mind’s eye, talking to her team before they left for the Citadel. Don't get between a turian and their chick, he’d warned the embassy party. You’ll be lucky to escape with your life. Some madwoman angry her son had been mortally wounded and her man captured had taken it out on Hackett's face, their Alliance attache had explained, and he’d been left under turian captivity until the exchange of prisoners after the cease-fire. She'd dismissed him as a nutter, shiny medals or no, but now the gnarly, angry red scar over his eye practically glowed against his pale skin in her memory as she stared back at the predator on the bench.

But then the bird turned away, and watched his chick again, and all the air in Anita's lungs escaped in a relieved sigh.

The path she was on made a lazy loop around the tall grasses the chick was playing in, towards the bench. She chewed on the inside of her lip as she kept walking, trying not to look anxious. Like prey. Deep breath. She couldn't keep walking for too long, she'd get too far from the Tower and get harangued about it later, but the bench the turian was on looked to be the only one nearby. She'd never much cared for sitting in grass back home, too prickly and too high a risk of bugs crawling up her clothes. Did aliens consider it rude to sit with a stranger? Would he get aggressive about her observing his daughter? Would her need for a break turn into a whole incident?

The bench was closer than planned. She swallowed as her feet stilled and her hand rested on the back of it. ���Pardon me, d’you mind if I sit here? Just for a moment."

The turian turned his head slightly. Something about him looked dimly familiar, but then, dark brown seemed an awfully common color for the big birds, and she'd no idea how they kept the tattoos all straight. She’d been running up against the councilor's secretary nearly every day the past couple of weeks, and she still struggled to pick her out from a crowd. At this angle, the most striking thing about him was the off-white teeth peeking at her from behind his mandibles. A couple of them were missing, she thought.

One teal eye looked her up and down, then the turian puffed, flapped a mandible, and slid over a bit on the bench. All the breath in her lungs rushed out in a relieved sigh, and she plopped down like all her bones gave up at once. “Thank you, sorry, God, I just need a few to clear my head, then I’ll be on my way..."

The turian rumbled, but didn't turn to look at her this time. "Rough day, I take it.”
