So apparently either tumblr deleted my stuff or idk.

I posted it on here for sure I saw it yesterday but well it’s being weird so here it is again. I’m so sorry to those who didn’t read it on wattpad since they got to see it earlier because of this issue.

Two Worlds One Heart: 🌿Our Exchange🌿

(Idk if I will keep updating this on Wattpad. Barely anyone views this and I have more reading it on tumblr. But I will try. If you can, Please let other genshin players that love Tighnari about this book! Idm having a small audience at all, it's just that my audience on tumblr has more people reading it.) (sorry for a long wait and how short it is 😭)

You woke up curled next to Tighnari. Lifting your head slightly as his began to fall. You held it up for him on your shoulder. You looked down to see the both of yours and his tail wrapped against the others body. Blushing slightly as you used magic to bring the paper on the table towards you. (If only I could irl) Reading what collei had written. You were happy for her. She was getting better at literature.

"Y/N or Tighnari, whoever is reading this. I would like to ask you both on how to control my dendro powers better. I also want to learn a bit of magic as well just incase I can't use my bow. Please give me some lessons on these. I told the forest rangers to not disturb you both. I'm hoping none came inside, I told them to go to Rana instead. I hope you both enjoyed your nap. I would surely be exhausted talking for hours as my social battery isn't as high. Make sure to check the time when you both work up. I have some pita pockets made on the table for the both of you if you're both hungry."

-Collei.

"Awwh! That's so sweet of her!" You said in a soft voice being careful to not wake Tighnari up beside you. Your tail swished slowly as you kept reading the note. Checking the time which was 6pm. The usual time for dinner. "Hey Nari, it's 6pm do you want to eat?" You nudged him slightly Ashe work up from the gentle touch. "Mmhh?" He said as his eyes opened. He rubbed them as he registered your sentence.

"Oh sure! Also since when did you start calling me Nari hm-?~" he asked with a bit of tease in his voice. "Today because I feel comfortable, it's nice meeting a kindred spirit y'know?" You said as you pointed to the pita pockets in front of the both of you. Silently enjoying the food with not many thoughts in your head. "Do you want to do anything after we're done?" You asked him and he nodded. "Yeah I can take you somewhere that I think you would like in the Avidya Forest." "Ooh! That sounds fun!" You said as he nodded. "Make sure to not startle them. Be careful when we head there." He said as he kept eating.

You gave him your plate as you finished. Taking them both to the sink and returning to the couch. "When do you want to go? I say nighttime is the prettiest for this place." "We can go right now if you want to Tighnari." "Alright I'll leave a note for collei to find if she can't find us." He said as you got up and went outside. He wrote where you were going to be with him and when you both should return. Before getting up and joining you.

"It's this way." He said as he pulled your shirt(or jacket) lightly. Tugging it to the right. "Oh haha!" You said slightly embarrassed as you followed him. (And no it's not a real location 🥰) After a few turns and dealing with paths you both made it to the spot. You were in awe as Tighnari looked at you. "That was how I was when I first stumbled across this place." He laughed as his gaze went back towards it.

It was a little clearing with a pond, Firefly's dazzled around it while some foxes were nearby resting. You could hear crickets clearly with the water rushing slowly. Some birds chirped nearby, the sounds of the animals were calming. "Make sure to not scare them away, be gentle." He said as he brought you closer. Sitting near the edge of the pond. Watching as some of the foxes came up towards him. Cautious and wary of you before realizing you wouldn't hurt them.

"Hmm." You said as you petted a fox that was near you. "I wonder how it feels getting scratched behind the ear." You said as your eyes went towards the fox. "It feels nice." Tighnari told you as he took a few notes. "Woww so descriptive." You playfully rolled your eyes at him as he laughed. "Numbskull of course it feels good." Still writing notes down. "Well I never experienced it since my ears are lowered often."

"Anyways how long are we going to stay here?" You asked as you looked at him." "I suppose we could stay here for a bit more if you want." "Sure then." You replied as your focus went elsewhere. "Are we going when you finish your notes?" "Yeah I am almost done." He continued to write before getting up. Handing out his hand to you as you touched his. Going back towards Tighnaris house.

"Our exchange is changing a lot." You said out loud as he heard you. "Yeah we're becoming friends, that's how interactions work." "Do you always have a need to be sassy?" "Not really do you?" "No..." "That's good." Collei saw as the both of you came back. Giving her report to Tighnari and told what happened while the both of you were away. "Thank you collei." He stated as he sat down on a chair. Reading the reports that she handed him. "I'll go get ready for bed." Teleporting away from the both of them and quickly took a shower and changed. Using clothes you had brought along as you came back to the both of them.

"That was quick." Collei stated as she saw you teleport in front of them. You wore a long shirt with medium length pants. Watching Tighnari read the reports. "They all did well today. Glad there's no longer withering zone reports. Those were tiring with a limited amount of people available to battle them."

"It sounds as difficult as the Decree we had in inazuma. It was hard to get trades and export everything. With less visitors and unable to make trades made it hard to earn money." You said remembering how many had suffered to afford their homes. "I have heard about it. Especially with the raiden shogun not letting anyone slip up."

"Anyways you guys can go sleep I'll be writing my responses to the forest rangers." Tighnari stated as he watched you both leave the room. Focusing on making his responses. His eyes went towards the window. Gazing at the moon every now and then. Before falling asleep on his bed.

"Tighnari are you up yet?" You said as you tapped him as his shoulder, his ears picked up on your voice as he looked at you. "What's up?" "The sky, anyways I'm heading to sumeru city to get some souvenirs. Do you know any good spots? Or I can mark some stuff based on sumeru."

"I can teach you to make a flower crown in exchange for how to make something from inazuma." He stated as you agreed. "We can go make some quickly before I start working." "Yeah it sounds fun!" He took out some Nilotpalas lotuses and sumeru roses. "Chose however pattern you want." He said as he made a pattern. Watching you do the same thing. "So here's how you do it..."

"Master has been exchanging information with Y/N again. I don't know where they headed off to but don't worry! He definitely wrote a message somewhere on a letter. I think it's over there actually." Collei stated as she handled the amount of forest rangers coming to her for help. (This sure is getting hard to keep up with, I hope the both of them return soon to us.) she thought as the number of forest rangers dwindled and finally dispersed."Oh it's time for patrol soon. So they should be returning soon for it." Collei told herself as she checked the time. Getting everything ready for him and her for his arrival with you.

"That was fun! I like the combo, purple and yellow is always great together." You said as you enjoyed the color choice. "Glad you do, anyways it's time for patrol so we are heading back, you can go to sumeru city and look for souvenirs and stuff over there while we're busy." "Alright well we should hurry we don't want you being late to it." He nodded as the both of you ran towards Gandharva Ville. "Well goodbye guys!" You said as you waved goodbye as they headed off. Teleporting to sumeru city you were in awe. Sumeru city's tree really was holding up the Akademiya. "Now to find someone or somewhere to go to for souvenirs." You stated as you wandered around the place. Many things caught you eye as you purchased some for your friends and had some breakfast over there.

"Sumeru city is nice I didn't think there would be a whole tree in the city! " you told yourself as your gaze lingered on it before you pulled out your phone and started to eat. Trying to ignore the stares you recieved from others. Were they all in awe of you or were they trying to figure out what you are? Surely the scholars know you're from inazuma and are kitsune. The ones that aren't scholars may only know of you being inazuman.

I just reread the information about Jaseem…and he fits perfectly with my TWST OC from a group of TWST OC’s I have.

Her name is Kamisha, and it just got me thinking, what if they interacted with each other?

———

Full Name: Kamisha Badawi

School: RSA

Favourite Food: Anything (edible)

Pastime: Protects Jamil/Jaseem/Kalim, taking care of Rana, visiting orphanages, taking care of wildlife, crying, sleeping

Family: Mother, Father,

Role: Dormhead protector (?)

[Dormhead protector is a made up role!]

———

Facts

Kamisha doesn’t know her family, and goes back to a protection centre during holidays if she has to leave. The only memory Kamisha has of her family is when they sold he off when she was quite small, she doesn’t love them, but she doesn’t hate them either.

Kamisha has never smiled, well, she has but not in front of others. Jaseem has only ever seen Kamisha smile once and it was because she remembered something from her past that was actually happy. She doesn’t have many happy memories, not before coming to RSA at least.

Kamisha has scars from labour work she used to do.

Kamisha wear to much gold for her school uniform and it is HEAVY. She is the one that has the most gold in her one of a kind crafted uniform— the uniform is made by Corcelia of course, the teacher who teaches the girls science and is also the one who makes them original uniforms.

———

Background

Kamisha was sold off at a pretty young age to a man in his 20’s because her parents needed money, she was sold for a really high price that her parents could live a good portion of their lives off of. Kamisha was sold to the man and would not be having many happy memories after that. Kamisha would be basically forced to do labour with many other children and would have to become accustomed to the ways of this new life, she started to stop caring when she was bleeding and stopped eating food as often.

Kamisha was often punished for simple mistakes, others were too but she was punished the most because she made mistakes quite often, instead of stopping herself from making these mistakes, she just made more and got used to the punishments.

Kamisha was saved with the other kids after a group of people shot down a ship that she and other kids were being put on, she stayed in a box (quite small box) for a couple of hours before she was saved and let out.

She wasn’t used to the life style at first but got used to it later on, Kamisha also comforted most of the fellow survivors and they all seemed to have been brought to some place that kept them safe. None of them really remembered their family so the group couldn’t get them back to their families, however the kids didn’t mind.

The kids lived in a Safety Centre, or thats what it’s called and don’t go to school except Kamisha, Kamisha was sent to RSA because she wanted to. She met Jaseem, if you read YaoYaoBae’s post abt him you’d know that he isn’t to fond of women (valid), so when Kamisha was assigned as his “protector” or “assistant” he wasn’t to fond of the idea.

However, he grew to understand that Kamisha did genuinely care about his interests and loved his tiger. She showed that she cared about the tiger and other wild life and she showed genuine interests in Jaseem’s hobbies. Kamisha doesn’t have her own hobbies, or so she says because she herself isn’t used to having freedom or getting the choice to like something of her own accord. Of course, Jaseem doesn’t know about her past.

———

Relationships

Jaseem

Kamisha has respect for him and respects him and his interests. She understands Jaseem’s hatred towards Jamil but is very quick to stop fights from breaking out or stop Jaseem if he ever goes too far.

It was a rocky friendship at first as she was scared of people and he wasn’t very fond of women since his past experiences, but they both grew to appreciate each others company and Jaseem realised that she was genuinely interested in what he had to say. He also realised she was very kind and actually liked his tiger, even though most found it weird.

Kamisha being the only girl in Jaseem’s dorm proves to be very awkward…

Personal therapist for Jaseem

Has no idea about her past until she overblots.

Jamil

She has a pretty good relationship with him. She doesn’t treat him like a servant and is happy to give him anything he needs or he wants. She doesn’t make fun of him and understands his feelings completely, she is also his personal therapist. She tells him if he ever needs to talk, or let his emotions out she’s there.

Gives him way to many things and gifts, she tells him he isn’t alone.

Jamil doesn’t know about her past until she overblots (lore drop)

Jamil didn’t like her at first, but showed interest after seeing she wasn’t being all “happy” and go-lucky. He also didn’t like her ay first because she was part of RSA, thought Kamisha proved twice that Jamil’s assumptions about her were wrong.

Kalim

She met Kalim quite a while before she even joined RSA.

She met Kalim right before she was shipped off to sea for more child labour work, he was kind and had no idea he’d see her again. Yes, she did pull a therapist move and saw right through his happy act, telling him it’s okay if he wasn’t alright. She comforted Kalim before going.

Personal therapist for Kalim

Gives him a lot of gifts, as usual and comforts him whenever she senses that he’s actually not doing alright.

He doesn’t know about her past until she overblots

———

BONUS FACT

She’s saved all of them at least once from being poisoned! If you’re asking how Jamil would get poisoned it would be because of someone who’s obsessed with Kalim (another OC for another day)

———

Characters

Jaseem belongs to @yaoyaobae (pls don’t kill me)

Kamisha Badawi (カミシャバダウイ)

Kamisha belongs to me.

I modified events that probably don’t happen with the actual Jaseem because again, he isn’t mine. Ask me to take it down if you don’t want him used, also — I made this because I just thought it would be interesting seeing Kamisha and Jaseem, also don’t ask about Jamil’s sister, I don’t have any idea for that yet :’)

Not Right | Bruno Madrigal & Camilo Madrigal

Hey there! Okay, sorry, I know I should be working on all the requests I’ve got; but I couldn’t focus on them with this on my mind. So there you have it. I hope you like this short story! [Disclaimer: I have OCD. Bruno has OCD (it’s canon, considering what we’ve been shown - there’s no question, in my opinion). I’m delving into the side of OCD that is doing compulsions/rituals over and over again, because it just won’t feel right. It’s not pretty. Also, I don’t speak any Spanish and so I kept to pretty much everything that is used in the movie, except for one word. On top of that, I’ve only seen the words Bruno whispers when he jumps over the cracks in a Tumblr post that talked about them. I hope they’re correct, then. The subtitles never showed them, unfortunately! If any of the things I used are wrong or you see any glaring mistakes, please let me know and I’ll change it accordingly.]

summary; Bruno is stuck doing his ritual again and again, working himself up to the point of utter frustration as he doesn’t seem to be getting it right. Then, Camilo shows up to help him out, to his surprise.

notes; Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; Superstitions; Rituals; Frustration; Mild Self-Harm (Hitting oneself; Pulling on one’s hair); Self-Worth Issues; Self-Hatred; Panic Attack; Hurt/Comfort; Platonic Relationship; Uncle-Nephew Relationship; Hugs.

A frustrated growl tore from his throat. Tears pricked his eyes, blurring his vision.

It just wasn’t right!

No matter how many times he’s done it all now, it just wouldn’t feel right. He couldn’t stop, though. He had to keep going until it was right and he could be certain that everybody was going to be safe.

Taking a deep, shaky breath, Bruno blinked away the tears that had gathered in his eyes, cleared his throat and raised his hands, which were balled into tight fists.

Then he rapidly knocked on the wooden door, speaking in a soft, trembling voice. “Knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood!” He ended it by knocking on his own head.

Then, he took a deep breath, held it, crossed his fingers and walked a few steps forward with his eyes squeezed shut. Wasting no time, he threw a handful of salt over his shoulder, followed by sugar; and then he hopped on one leg, avoiding all the cracks on the floor, as he whispered, “Sana sana colita de rana.”

For a few seconds he stopped, standing completely still. Even now, after the fifteenth time of doing it, it just wouldn’t feel right.

Pulling at his hair and hitting his head, Bruno cried out, a tear slipping out of the corner of his eye.

Pathetic!

Bad luck!

Dangerous!

Evil!

Why couldn’t he get it right?

What was he doing wrong?

He just didn’t know.

He would have to keep trying, though. He couldn’t possibly forgive himself if he didn’t finish it to be correct and something terrible would happen to any of his family members or the townsfolk as a result. He wouldn’t be able to bear that guilt. No, he had to get it right eventually. It didn’t matter how long it would take and how frustrated he would become, as long as he knew that everybody else was well and safe. That was all that truly mattered.

Tilting his head back and wiping away the tears that had run down his cheeks, Bruno tried to take a few more deep breaths to calm himself, so that he would be able to repeat the ritual. But the air just wouldn’t fill his lungs, stopping in his throat, which was far too tight.

Frustrated, Bruno shook his head, trying to clear his mind. Then he attempted to inhale deeply, only to cough violently when it just got caught in his throat again.

Starting to hyperventilate, Bruno shook his head once more, pulled at his hair and hit the side of his head.

No, no, no! He had to continue the ritual now. Why couldn’t he just breathe? Why did everything have to go so wrong today?

“Tío Bruno?”

Ripped out of his ever-growing frenzy, Bruno quickly turned around, eyes wide, breaths still coming too fast and shallow, and one hand still buried in his hair, pulling at his dark curls.

“Camilo-,” Bruno started, stopping to clear his throat to hopefully get rid of some of the shakiness, but to no avail, “- what are you doing here?”

By ‘here’, Bruno was referring to the inside of Casita’s walls, where he kept doing his ritual every single day.

The house may have been newly built and without any major cracks that needed fixing anymore, but the fears remained. The bad luck that surrounded him was still present. And so he couldn’t ever stop with his rituals. It just wasn’t possible. At first the missing cracks of the previously broken house had disturbed it, but now the floorboard’s cracks worked just as well to complete his ritual.

“I was walking by and heard you,” Camilo explained softly, a gentle expression on his face, one that was usually reserved for his mother when she was upset. “Is there anything I can do to help you?”

Bruno stopped breathing altogether. He didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve his nephew’s gentle support.

Hesitating, Bruno averted his gaze, carefully keeping his eyes trained on the wooden floorboards beneath his feet. “No, I’m fine. But thank you, mijo. Go back to- whatever you were doing before. I’ll be okay,” he told Camilo eventually, looking up again, but avoiding his eyes nonetheless. He wore a slight, awkward smile on his lips. It hurt his face.

Instead of going away, though, his teenage nephew only came closer to him, stretching out his hands in a placating manner as he continued to speak to him ever so softly, “It’s okay, Tío Bruno. Let me help you with your ritual. You don’t have to carry it all on your own anymore, okay?”

Despite the voices in his head that were screaming at him to get Camilo out of there, because he wasn’t safe with him and he deserved to suffer alone like this, Bruno let his nephew gently take his hands into his own warm, but much smaller, palms.

“It’s going to be all right, Tío. I promise. You’ve got this,” Camilo whispered, smiling gently at him.

The calmness that washed over Bruno upon those words and that smile was something he’s been so unused to for far longer than the decade that he’d lived inside the walls.

Finally able to take a deep, steadying breath, Bruno nodded and quietly thanked his nephew. Then he let go of his hands, in- and exhaled deeply to ready himself, and started the ritual anew.

When he was done, he felt a little closer to getting it right.

So, he did it again.

And again.

And then he did it one last time, faintly hearing Camilo imitate him and doing the ritual alongside him. To Bruno, it felt like that helped to strengthen the effect of his ritual.

Once they were both done, Bruno was much calmer. Without even thinking about it, he wrapped his arms around his nephew and pulled him into a tight embrace, whispering several thanks into Camilo’s hair. His teenage nephew then also returned the hug just as tightly, smiling into his tío’s shoulder.

Bruno certainly couldn’t have been any prouder of the boy. He always wanted others to feel better; even before he had received his Gift, which he then started to utilise to perfect his methods and spread joy all across the encanto. As much as he was a teenage boy that loved pranks and to fool around, he also liked to be supportive and helpful to anyone in need.

This time, Bruno got to witness that side of Camilo.

And only thanks to him, it felt right at last.

Decay AU | Post-Birth holds

“I still can’t believe I made this.” Decay whispered, staring down in almost belief at the little bundle wrapped up and asleep, her metal fingers gripping the edge of the little medical cot as she peeked, almost afraid to disturb the ticking poop-bomb.

Pariah chuckled softly, her flesh hand running down Decay’s back. “Yes, you did.”

“He’s so small!”

“Did you expect him to pop out any bigger?”

Decay shrugged, “He felt like a toddler. The belly was huge.”

“Most of that was water. 6 pounds of that was him.” Pariah lent forwards, gently picking up the small bundle though Decay hesitantly held her hands out.

“Are you sure? My hands, they’ll be too cold.”

“He’ll get used to it.”

Decay swallowed but opened up her shirt nonetheless before the little weight was pressed into her chest. The baby gurgled a little, his face immediately nuzzling into her bare skin, her hands coming to rub his back though she felt scared; what if she hurt him? Her arms were metal… the touch sensitivity wasn’t as precise as her organic ones used to be…

“He’ll probably be looking for your breast so don’t be surprise if he keeps trying to nurse.”

Decay’s head turned to her mother’s counterpart sharply, “Like...how Rana used to do?” She remembered when she first met Rana; 6 months old and trying to get into Pariah’s shirt whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Pariah smiled, deepening the look of the scar along her jaw but she just looked…happy. “You don’t have to breast-feed, there are other options. As long as there’s skin to skin contact; you’ll still be able to bond.”

Decay let out a heavy breath. She had already fed him once and so far the experience was not pleasant; her boobs were too sensitive and it hurt and he wasn’t latching very well… “How long does it take before it gets easier?”

“It…depends. All my girls were breast fed, as we had very little alternatives so I had to grit my teeth and bare it. The first two weeks with my eldest were the hardest but… after that, it got easier. By the time Mirabel was born, it was one of the few things that kept her quiet and was happy to let her enjoy.”

“Two weeks…” she could try for two weeks and see how she felt with it… she could stick to a pump if she really couldn’t handle it. She had looked into the options before she had given birth; from donated milk to formula. She was sure if her Abuela was here, she’d insist on breast-fed regardless but she tried to reason the fact that Encanto had no way to make formula like the Watchers could here.

A snort made it through her lips.

“What’s so funny?”

“if Abuela was given the opportunity do you think she would have taken formula and bottles over breast-feeding you lot? Two boobs but three babies….”

Pariah blinked at her for a moment before her lip curled. “Now I’m thinking I know why Bruno is so small.”

Decay sniggered at her implication, “that would have made her life a little easier.”

Pariah nodded though lent down and kissed the fuzzy patch of hair before he gurgled though she could feel how he wiggled, pressing his face into the squishiness of her chest. “Oh, he’s looking.” She leant back, though he settled down from his search, his nose scrunching up.

“He looks just like you.”

“He popped out of me, damn well I hope so.” Decay mumbled.

Pariah chuckled, her head coming to rest on her shoulder. “Talk to Hallow if you need help changing him. You know she has experience with boys.”

Decay nodded softly. Hallow had mentioned some things to watch out for; Hallow had done the first change already given she was bed-bound for the first few hours but sooner or later; she was going to have to take full control and get used to it. She imagined Hallow had a challenge; Dante was already proven to be a wriggler.

Dante began to wiggle again, proving her observation correct before he began to fuzz.

“I think it’s time to feed.” Pariah lifted her head. ”You ready?”

Decay swallowed, sitting up though she felt her nerves sky-rocket up though Pariah pulled her arm back, the baby shifting away before his displeasure echoed loudly.

“Let him cry, it’s okay! Don’t let his cries panic you.” Pariah whispered, “Open your shirt and shove all what you can into his mouth.”

“He so small!” Wanderer gushed, holding the newborn as he gazed up “I knew you’d make pretty babies… this is one gorgeous little human being…”

“You used to say that about Rana.” Decay pointed out dryly, watching as she sipped her tea.

“Hm, then she grew up and started to throw knives. Less cuddly.” Wanderer lent her head down, pecking the little baby’s head. “Let’s hope you’re a cuddler.”

The baby’s brows pulled in though he was mostly looking hazy in her direction before he put his little fist in his mouth. “I heard Pariah’s taken time off from work.”

Decay nodded with a soft smile. “I can’t do this alone.” After everything with her family, she should be a strong woman and do this herself but… she needed someone. She couldn’t just be a single mother. She was a single mother with help because emotionally, she needed that.

If she was at home, the person she would have looked to would have her mother. Her mother wasn’t here. The fact he was a bastard, no one cared in the Watcher AU, marriage was a concept for civilians. Decay had learned to let go of a few things but still… thinking back; thinking how her family would react… it was uneasy.

Pariah Julieta would fill the gap she needed and someone she could trust explicitly.

Wanderer didn’t deny her statement though shifted him in her arms to stroke along his face. His hand flared from his mouth, drool covered before he grabbed a hold of her finger. “Oh, you’ve a firm grip. Perfect for knives.”

“Wanderer.” Decay warned.

“I’m joking!” Wanderer flashed her an innocent look. “He’s gotta grow first…”

She took the thrown towel to the back with pride and a wink.

tbh this was supposed to be longer but I lost a little more must so here’s something small and sweet with new Mama Decay XD i also need to get more banners lol

A Kiss From a Nixie

Here’s a follow-up to the ficlet I posted the other day, where, in a Mystery Trio-style AU, Stan meets a frog-lady and falls in love with her. In this ficlet, we learn about the origins of Stan’s frog-lady, as well as the proper term for her species. I’m very happy about this scenario and have been enjoying it a lot. Hopefully, y’all enjoy it, too~

——————————————————————————————

Stan and Angie stared silently at each other. Angie suddenly turned beet red.

“Stanley. I’m naked,” she whispered. Stan felt himself flush at the reminder. He spun around so that she could get dressed without him watching. “Thank you.”

“What- how-” Stan stammered, still with his back to Angie. He took a deep breath. “First question. Is Fiddlenerd a frog too?”

“No. He’s not.”

“Did the frog gene skip him?”

“I wasn’t born like this. It happened while I was at college.” A million more questions immediately formed on Stan’s tongue. “You can turn ‘round again.” Stan turned. Angie was now wearing a flannel top and some jeans. She pulled on a pair of boots. “And no, Fidds don’t know. Actually…” There was a beat. She looked up at Stan. “Yer the first person to know.”

“Wait. Really?” Stan asked. Angie nodded. “Geez.” He stuffed his hands into his pockets. “I…I wasn’t expecting that. I mean, you and Fiddlenerd are annoyingly close.”

“You’ve known Fidds fer a lil while. How do ya think he would react to findin’ out his precious baby sister is sometimes a frog?” Angie asked dryly. Stan winced, already imagining the freakout. “That’s why.”

“Fair enough. How’d you turn into a…I dunno, merfrog?” Angie snorted.

“Merfrog. I like it.”

“I don’t know the real word for…” Stan gestured vaguely at Angie. “…whatever you are.”

“I don’t know it, either. The person what turned me didn’t exactly share that information.”

“Who turned you?”

“A full-time frog person what lived in the pond just off campus.” Angie scowled. “They befriended me, then offered to kiss me. That kiss was what did me in.”

“Why’d you agree to kiss a frog person?” Stan asked. Angie turned pink.

“I sometimes have poor impulse control,” she said quietly.

“Been there.” Stan frowned. “Hang on. A kiss from a frog person turned you into one?” Angie nodded. “I feel like it’s supposed to go the other way around. At least, according to fairy tales.”

“Well, I know the kiss was what did it, ‘cause immediately I started changin’, and the frog person told me that they were excited fer me to live with ‘em.” Angie sighed heavily. “I’ve been a frog ever since.”

“But you can turn human.”

“Yessir.”

“Huh.” Stan looked at Angie thoughtfully. “Y’know, Ford would have a field day with this.”

“Oh, hell no. I ain’t tellin’ yer weird brother. No offense.”

“None taken.” Stan walked over to Angie. “You got somethin’.” He pulled a clump of mud out of her hair. Angie turned bright red again. “Want me to give you a ride back to the house?”

“That would be great. Thank you.”

“No problem.” Stan headed back towards the Stanleymobile, Angie close behind. “Why didn’t you tell me who you were?”

“I wasn’t expectin’ to be here very long. Certainly not long enough that I would have a reason to tell someone my secret. But, I don’t know, somethin’ ‘bout Gravity Falls makes me feel pretty content.” Stan glanced back. Angie was looking around, admiring the surrounding trees. “I might want to move up here, to be honest. I can do my research or even help Stanford with his. He was tellin’ me the other day that he wants to hire a biologist.”

“Gravity Falls is nicer than I expected,” Stan agreed. He cleared his throat. “Do you have to go to the pond every day or something?”

“Geez, yer full of questions, ain’t ya?”

“The frog-lady I’ve been chatting up for the last two weeks just turned into my brother’s partner’s little sister,” Stan said dryly. “Duh.” Angie chuckled softly.

“Fair enough.” They emerged from the trees and made a beeline for the Stanleymobile. “I have to shift into my frog form and submerge myself in water fer at least an hour every day. Ideally, I spend more time like that. That’s just the bare minimum to keep myself healthy.”

“Did the frog person who turned you tell you that?”

“Nope. Figured it out through trial and error. Since I got to Gravity Falls, I’ve been sneakin’ out of the house after everyone’s asleep and goin’ to the lake to sleep in there.” They came up to the car. Stan pulled out his key to unlock it. Angie got into the passenger seat, beaming. “I even made myself a nice little hole in the mud to sleep in.”

“You’re not worried about Fiddlenerd wondering where you are?” Stan asked, getting into the driver’s seat. Angie shook her head.

“I’m a deep sleeper with a specific sleep schedule. Fidds knows better ‘n to mess with that.”

“Makes sense.” Stan started the car. “So, you-” Angie sighed loudly.

“Look, I understand that ya have a lot of questions. I’ll answer all of ‘em at some point, but right now, I can only answer one more.”

“Fair.” Stan pulled out of the parking lot. He frowned thoughtfully. “Okay. I know what I wanna ask.”

“Hit me.”

“Did you eat my bait?” Stan asked. Angie looked away hurriedly, though Stan could see a flush spreading across her features, down to her neck. “When I opened my tacklebox after you returned it, the fresh bait was gone.” He held up a hand. “I’m not judging you for eating worms. You’re part frog. But I just wanna know if you ate them.” Angie stayed silent. “Come on, you said you’d answer my question.” After a long pause, she finally replied.

“No comment.”

-----

Angie giggled at Stan’s joke. He grinned proudly, warmth spreading across his cheeks. After spending the day moving Angie into her new house in Gravity Falls, he was happy to have quality time with his sort-of frog sort-of girlfriend. They were at the lake so that Angie could be in her frog form, though Fiddlenerd and Ford thought they were still at Angie’s house.

“Still can’t believe Stanford actually supported leaving us alone together,” Angie remarked. To Stan’s amusement, it wasn’t just the tone of her voice that changed in her frog form. Her thick southern accent was also nearly nonexistent. At first, he thought it was because she was disguising herself. But even after coming clean about who she was, she didn’t have an accent in frog form.

“Ford thinks that I’m more responsible and take better care of myself when I’m dating someone,” Stan said with a shrug. “I’m not surprised he’s encouraging me to ‘woo’ you.” Angie giggled again, a sound like a babbling brook. Stan dug around in the bag of snacks they’d picked up at the gas station on the way over. “Hungry?”

“Yes,” Angie said eagerly. Stan pulled out the container of live bait and set it on the wood of the dock. He lifted the lid. Angie reached out a webbed, frog-like hand and daintily grabbed one of the wriggling worms. Stan opened his bag of chips, smiling fondly at her.

A few days ago, Angie had finally confessed that, since becoming a merfrog, she had developed a taste for bugs and worms. Stan had already known, but he appreciated that Angie trusted him enough to tell him. After all, she was visibly embarrassed by her cravings for creepy-crawlies.

It’s probably ‘cause she was raised to be a proper southern lady or whatever. Angie popped a worm into her mouth. Good thing I don’t care about that.

“Stanley?” Stan looked over his shoulder. Ford was walking down the dock towards him. Angie gasped softly. There was a splash. Without looking, Stan knew she had gone underwater before Ford could see her up close. “What are you doing here, talking to a nixie? I thought you were helping Angie settle in.”

“Nixie?”

“Yes.” Ford sat next to Stan. “That was the creature you were speaking with.” His eyes widened. “Is she the frog-lady you were talking about a few months ago?”

“Duh.”

“I would have believed you if you told me she was a nixie!”

“Wh-” Stan scoffed. “Do I look like someone who knows what a nixie is?”

“Did she not tell you?”

“It’s racist to ask someone what they are, Sixer,” Stan said flatly. Ford let out a soft laugh. “Angie sent me out to grab some snacks, so I figured I stop by the lake to talk to Rana while I was out.”

“Her name is Rana?” Ford asked. Stan nodded. “Fascinating.” He stared at the spot where Angie had been. “Would you be willing to tell me more about her?”

“Nope.” Stan stood up. “You didn’t believe me when I first asked you, and now I’ve learned that she’s an actual person, not some weird ‘anomaly’ for you to study.” He pulled his car keys out of his pocket. “And Angie’s probably waiting for me at her place, so I better get going.”

“You’re forgetting something,” Ford said, pointing at the bait still sitting on the dock. A webbed hand quickly grabbed the bait and brought it underwater. Ford’s jaw dropped. “Remarkable.”

-----

It was yet another peaceful, misty morning at Lake Gravity Falls. Stan sighed.

“Enjoying the quiet?” Angie asked from her spot in the lake. Stan nodded. “Have the Fords been especially loud lately or something?”

“The Fords?”

“It’s shorter than saying their full names,” Angie said. Stan snorted in amusement.

“Nah, they’ve actually been quieter than usual. I don’t trust it. They’re up to something.” Angie snickered. “Have you finished the research Ford wanted you to do?”

“Oh, yeah.” Angie floated on her back, staring up at the dusty blue sky. “I finished it real quick. It’s pretty easy to get information from magical creatures when you’re one of ‘em.”

“Maybe you should give Ford a big smooch. Turn him into a frog. He’ll finish his research in record time,” Stan joked. The only response was a soft splash. Stan looked over. “Ang?” Angie was gone. “Something wrong?” Nothing happened. Stan sighed. “What did I say?” Angie slowly surfaced.

“I…” She took a shuddering breath. “I love you.” Stan’s heart stopped. “But I-” Angie covered her face with her large, webbed hands. “I can’t- I can’t act on any of my feelings.” Stan scooted closer, his legs dangling over the edge of the pier.

“What do you mean?” he asked quietly. Angie let out a sob.

“I want to kiss you more than- more than anything. But if I do, then you’ll- you’ll be like me. And I don’t want to turn you into a- into a frog!” she wailed.

“Hey.” Stan took one of Angie’s hands. She looked up at him. “That’s my decision to make, okay? If I wanna risk turning into a frog so that I can kiss you, I’ll do that.”

“R-really?” Angie asked in a tremulous voice.

“Remember how you said you kissed that nixie ‘cause you had poor impulse control?” Angie nodded. Stan grinned. “You’re not the only one.” He pulled Angie close. Just as his lips met Angie’s, there was a loud shout.

“Wait!”

-----

Further attempts to pry information out of Stan about the nixie he’d befriended had failed. So, Ford had to resort to collecting his own data. This translated into watching from afar as, every day at dawn, Stan sat on the dock and spoke with the nixie. Fortunately, Ford was skilled enough at camouflage by now that he wasn’t seen. Unfortunately, he was unable to get close without risking being spotted.

That morning, he wasn’t alone at the lake. He had dragged Fiddleford out of bed to come see the nixie for himself. Fiddleford wasn’t pleased.

“Stanford, yer lucky I ain’t the kind of sleeper my sister is,” Fiddleford groused as they hid in the bushes, watching Stan talk to the nixie. “Last time someone woke her up ‘fore she was ready, they got a broken nose fer their trouble.”

“Yes, yes, I’m very lucky,” Ford said. “Now, please, be quiet. It looks like they’re talking about something serious.”

“You won’t hear any of it, no matter how quiet I get. We’re too far away,” Fiddleford pointed out. Ford ignored the logical argument, focusing intently upon the conversation at the dock. The nixie seemed emotionally distraught over something. Stan leaned in, visibly affected by her distress. He grabbed her hand and pulled her close. Then, to Ford’s horror, Stan kissed the nixie.

“Wait!” Ford shouted, bursting out of the bushes. Stan and the nixie jumped. Ford sprinted over to his brother and the magical creature, his heart pounding in his chest, his mind racing.

No. No. This isn’t good. Ford hadn’t had the chance to study a nixie properly yet, but he had read enough about them and other water sprites to know that even touching one could have serious consequences. Stanley, you idiot! Aren’t you dating Angie, anyways? I didn’t think you were the kind of person to cheat! Still frozen in shock, the nixie and Stan hadn’t moved by the time Ford arrived.

“Stanley, what was that about?” Ford demanded. “You shouldn’t just kiss random magical creatures!”

“She’s not random,” Stan said. His articulation was sloppier than usual, almost like he was slurring a bit. The nixie looked at him with sudden concern. “I know her.”

“Yes, but-” Ford ran his hands through his hair. “Kissing a nixie can have unforeseen side effects!”

“I know!” Stan’s speech was definitely slurred. He gestured drunkenly to the nixie. “That’s how she got stuck in this situation!” Ford looked at the nixie. His fingers itched for a pen and paper. Up close, she was just as eerily beautiful as she’d seemed from a distance. Her green, mottled skin glistened from lake water. Large, webbed ears poked out from her short, black hair. But most distinctive were her kind eyes, a soft shade of blue that Ford immediately recognized. He saw those eyes every time he looked at Fiddleford.

Everything clicked into place.

I was right. Stan would never cheat on Angie, even for a magical creature.

“Angie?” Ford croaked. Angie, for he was certain that the nixie was Angie, ignored him. She pulled herself onto the pier, revealing the same hourglass shape she had as a human, but lacking any mammalian features.

That makes me feel much more comfortable with the fact she’s unclothed.

“Stanley, are you all right?” she asked. Stan grinned at her. His eyes were unfocused.

“Yeah, babe.” He leaned closer to her. “I liked that kiss. Go ahead and give me another one, okay?”

“Uh, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“What?” Stan seemed blindsided. “Why not?”

“You’re acting either stoned or plastered and I’m not sure which one,” Angie said. Ford’s eyes widened.

“Your accent is gone!”

“I- yes- it- I don’t know why, maybe it’s ‘cause when I first turned frog, I was hiding my accent a lot. But that’s not important right now!” Angie snapped. “Something happened to Stan!”

“Well, you kissed him while in nixie form,” Ford pointed out. “If you’d kissed him in human form, I doubt there would have been any reaction at all.” Angie stared at him. “I’ve never heard of a nixie being able to switch between their native form and a human one.”

“I- my native form is human, you dingus! I wasn’t always part frog!”

“Fascinating,” Ford breathed. Angie groaned loudly. She took Stan’s hand.

“Stanley, sit down for me, okay?” she said. Stan sat down heavily. He grinned at her. “Oof. Uh. Your eyes are dilated something fierce, darling.”

“You’re fierce,” Stan slurred. He winked. Angie grimaced. Footsteps sounded on the deck. “Ang, you’re the prettiest frog in the world.” The footsteps stopped.

“Angie?!” Fiddleford shrieked. Angie immediately dove into the lake, disappearing into the depths. Stan leaned over the edge of the pier.

“Come back, Angie!” he called.

“I have to agree,” Fiddleford said, quickly catching up to Stan and Ford. “Banjolina Quinn McGucket, get back here!”

“Heh.” Stan giggled. “Banjo.” He leaned further. “Banjo!” He fell forward. Before Ford or Fiddleford could grab him, a webbed hand shot out of the water to nudge him back onto the pier. Angie emerged from the lake. Fiddleford fell to his knees.

“Oh, Lord,” he breathed. “I’d recognize that face anywhere. Angie, what happened? How did you become this?”

“I…” Angie swallowed. “Stan can tell you.” Stan leaned over the edge of the pier again.

“I heard my name,” he purred. Angie surfaced further until she and Stan were face-to-face. She stroked his cheek. “Hey, gorgeous.”

“I’m- I’m sorry I did this to you. Rest up.” She looked at Fiddleford. “Take care of him.”

“Angie, you can’t just leave without explainin’ anything!” Fiddleford protested. Angie closed her eyes.

“I need- I need a minute.” She sunk underwater.

“Angie, no!” Stan cried out. Ford and Fiddleford grabbed him before he could jump into the lake. “No!” Stan slumped back and began to sob. “She’s gone. Forever.”

“Stanley, once she’s had some time to collect herself, she’ll be back,” Ford said calmly. “Now, we should probably find some sort of antitoxin to counteract that kiss.” He pulled Stan to his feet. Stan immediately leaned against him. “Fiddleford, a little help?” Fiddleford was still staring at the lake. “Fiddleford?”

“Oh, yes.” Fiddleford came over. He looped one of Stan’s arms over his shoulders. “Don’t worry, Stan, Ford’s right. Angie will be back.” He scowled. “If I have to drain this whole godforsaken lake to find her.”

WWE Summerslam 2021 - Initial Reaction and Review

It's been a big week for wrestling in general, and now we have the Biggest Party of the Summer in the books, uncharacteristically airing on a Saturday.

It's been a while since I've run down a WWE PPV, time and apathy does have a bit to do with it, but since this is a big 4 and given what happened in Chicago there's definitely curiosity over how WWE would respond

Spoilers for Summerslam 2021 Below, I will be discussing the winners and moments so watch the PPV first

As usual I will indicate in the title who was the person I expected to win before the match started, but instead of Bold this time I'll put them in Italics with the whole match card being in bold

Kick-off

A long-ass kickoff was majority promo and interviews, not any contrarion drabble this time which was good. It was kinda sad to see Asuka on the packages but nowhere to be seen on the card.

I did like the sign guy of 'McAfee = Ratings' because he's kinda right, he has been great on commentary. I did not miss that dude in the Fiend Mask though, or the Lily Doll.

I will reiterate though that Sonya Deville is wasted right now, let her back in the goddamn ring, SD's Women's Division does need it and they make her look like a goof as Assistant GM.

Also apparently the Mysterios vs Usos aren't good enough for a promo package, not like it's a title match or anything... plus the disrespect still there, 'I wouldn't wanna work with my dad' they say like Rey isn't a multi time world champion with a huge wealth of experience.

The Miz and Morrison came in with a water truck to a mixed pop of cheers and boos, this moist gimmick ain't great but props for both guys being dedicated to it, it was short enough not to overstay its welcome too.

Ugh, Logan Paul is here...

Big E def. Baron Corbin (Pinfall via Big Ending) We had a new announcer from a Tiktok competition winner called Raine, and you know she was really good at it.

Corbin entered to boos hugging the MITB briefcase he stole, unable to afford entrance music it seems even though he's getting a PPV paycheck. To his credit he looks ultra disheveled, and when the ref had to pry the briefcase from him he looked super forlorn. I dunno why he's wrestling in a shirt though wouldn't that make it dirtier?

When the bell rings E does basically go right at Corbin, Corbin got a shoulder block in but then got caught in a belly to belly - despite protests - then a belly to backp. E missing the apron splash as Corbin senses a countout win, at 7 he leaves the ring to hit E against the ring post to try and eke out more time, demanding that the timekeeper keep the briefcase in his sights. E does return to the ring but his spear goes right is sidestepped into the ringpost, then thrown into them two more times, but only gets 2.

Corbin continues with some momentum with a sidewalk slam for 2, but his chokeslam is reversed into a rollup for 2 then a stretch muffler. He escapes and hits the Deep Six for 2, then 1.8, Corbin then stumbles to the briefcase, considering an exit before being hit with a lariat. E throws Corbin into the ring, but Corbin rolls right out, grabs the briefcase and tries to run around the ring only to be pounced into the barricade by Big E. The cat and mouse chase comes to an end, Corbin elbows E to get some room to roll to the other side of the ring but E catches him with that suicide spear he does, the briefcase is dropped and the straps are off: Big Ending for 3.

Shots of Logan Paul are hilariously met with huge boos as Big E finally reclaims his briefcase to a pop.

It was a nice little match, good palette cleanser and a nice and clean competition, Corbin had no chance in winning but it was a solid way to warm up the crowd for the main ppv.

Our final bit of the kick-off was discussing the UNI main event, though I feel like losing your job is a higher stake than winning your 17th world title. Also they had to force in the shucky ducky which was dumb.

Main Show

Raw Tag Team Championship: RK-Bro [Randy Orton & Riddle] def AJ Styles & Omos (c) [TITLE CHANGE] (Pinfall on Styles by Orton via RKO) Starting the night with some fun as Riddle comes out in a garish snake print outfit with a cerise pink lining, Orton didn't get the fashion memo thankfully but his hologram snake was cheesy. Riddle interacted with the crowd and had the multicoloured holo-doves while Orton mainly kept to himself. AJ and Omos came out together, though Omos had no theatrics, looking like a bouncer being invited to dinner still.

Orton and AJ started the match, Orton with the early advantage and tagging Riddle in for an assisted backflip for a 1 count, AJ rolls out the ring frustrated then tags in Omos, who just ragdolls Riddle; Shoulder Block, big clubbing blow then a delayed powerslam - an interesting glance over to Orton as well as they smile at each other, almost like Orton approved. Omos tries to deadlift Riddle with a wristlock but Riddle scrambles into a sleeper, but is flipped off then flattened in the corner. AJ tags in, platforming Omos for a Tornado DDT for 2, Riddle tries to fight out but runs into a backbreaker as AJ tells Orton 'you're next'.

During the rest hold, the crowd rallies Riddle back into the fight, AJ looks to have reclaimed an advantage and throws Riddle to his corner, but Riddle turns it into a dropkick on Omos, then dumps AJ out the ring. Riddle tries to tag Orton but AJ grabs him, enzugiri by Riddle allows Orton to make the hot tag. Clotheslines on AJ, a forearm to Omos - but it only stuns him, doesn't even fall to the floor, backdrop and another forearm to Omos that again fails to drop him. Clothesline to corner and a powerslam, this time Orton drops Omos out the ring by dropkicking the knees, draping DDT gets Orton feeling the RKO, but Omos drags AJ out the ring, then catches Riddle's dive to chokeslam him onto the apron. AJ stuns Orton with a jawbreaker on the ropes and gestures Omos to finish Riddle, but Riddle escapes the lawn dart and pushes Omos into the ring post. AJ though catches Riddle with his backflip reverse DDT on the outside, he misses the Phenomenal Forearm, but stands his ground against the RKO attempt, he rolls up for 2 and then lands into an RKO for 3.

It didn't last long but it was a fun opener, it was time for a title change and RK-Bro was a good choice. It's a shame Styles has to be the weak link but you can't be surprised that WWE continue to protect Omos.

Alexa Bliss (w/Lily) def. Eva Marie (w/ Doudrop) (Pinfall via DDT) The Lily hologram was fucking horrifying as Bliss carries the doll and puts it on the corner turnbuckle. Bliss weaves Eva effortlessly, she tries a waistlock but gets elbowed off. Eva gets a punch and a hair yank then...poses. She grabs Lily and starts slapping the doll, then slapping Alexa with the doll. Alexa then goes on the attack, clotheslines then a senton for 2, she puts Lily back as Eva argues with Doudrop. Alexa misses the Twisted Bliss and Eva gets 2 twice, a kick to the gut and a DDT finishes off Eva.

Post-match, Doudrop only looks smugly at Eva and grabs a microphone, announcing Eva as the loser, stealing her gown and walking away as Eva insists she made Doudrop.

This match didn't need to happen, in fact it could've just been a segment, but at least WWE were sensible in not having Eva Marie win against a former women's champion. They also didn't do any spooky shit and put the narrative mainly on Doudrop being free to hopefully be Piper Niven again, once again it didn't overstay its welcome.

Mario Lopez (who?) interviews RK-Bro on their title win, Orton cuts his normal promo but gets stumbled by trying to fit 'Bro' into his '3 most deadly letters in wrestling' catchphrase.

US Championship: Damian Priest def. Sheamus (c) [TITLE CHANGE] (Pinfall via Recknoning) Immediately after the interview Priest was already on the ramp, in blue gear with the USA and Puerto Rico flag on his tights, he did his archer pose to set off his tron. The Tron had a bit of an issue with Sheamus' opening, Sheamus wandered in with his face guard and coat. Sidebar, I still don't like the US Title design, it's better than the old one but not by much.

The two start by locking up, some solid chain wrestling shows that Sheamus has the power but Priest has the agility. After a pump kick, Priest hits a Falcon Arrow for 1, he has a bit of a nasty landing with his mid-rope flip senton out the ring, his heel clipped Sheamus' head but Priest's back had a hard landing on the floor, not easy to get distance when you step off the middle rope. Despite a flurry of kicks, Sheamus focuses on the back by throwing him into the ring post, belly to back and also an Irish Curse lead to a Camel Clutch, but Priest escapes that, Sheamus picks him up but Priest elbows out, so then he tries to powerbomb and Priest rana's out of that. Momentum is short though as Sheamus gets a powerslam for 2, a Dublin Smile and a Beats of the Bodhrán but he cuts the count short to slight the crowd's chant. His timewasting is punished by a Tornado DDT from Priest, they trade blows and a lariat floors Sheamus, a spinning leg lariat from the top rope only gets him 2.

Priest sets up the Reckoning, but is picked up for a rolling fireman's carry slam, Sheamus slowly climbs the turnbuckle, giving Priest time to look for a chokeslam, but Sheamus shimmies along the ropes and gets a massive rope-assisted jawbreaker, top turnbuckle clothesline and an Alabama Slam only gets 2. Sheamus angrily talks shit at Priest, Priest slaps him but Sheamus headbutts him back. He sets up the Brogue Kick but Priest gets the Big Boot and the South of Heaven, but it only gets 2. Priest tries the Reckoning but his back won't handle the weight, he tries a Disaster Kick but runs into a knee to the face, it's only a 2. After being furious with the ref Sheamus tries the Cloverleaf, but gets rolled up for 2, he catches Priest in a heel hook in the middle of the ring, with no ropes to reach, Priest reaches for the face guard, ripping it off of Sheamus. Madness in his eyes, Priest unloads on Sheamus' face, causing Sheamus to cover up and release the hold, a flapjack into the top turnbuckle stuns Sheamus for another spinning Leg Lariat and then a Recknoning for 3.

A nice technical match, had some creative spots in there and Priest winning was nice to see after the Miz/Morrison feud lasted forever. I do dislike that they said it was his first title 'in WWE' though, because he was NA Champion in NXT, which is still WWE Cole. I don't think I liked that the face guard is what undid Sheamus, the dude who likes to fight shouldn't really lose to insecurity. But third time's the charm with the Reckoning.

Afterwards we had a promo for NXT TakeOver. We got a backstage talk between Rey and Dom, Dom apologizing to Rey for the SD incident and Rey forgiving it immediately, noting to stay focused on the match right now.

SD Tag Championship: The Usos (c) def. The Mysterios (Pinfall on Rey by Jey via Splash) Immediately after the promo they left the curtain to their entrance, the yellow, white and pink was...a choice, kinda miss the comic book attires. The Usos came out with the Leis and their regular gear.

Rey and Jimmy started lightning quick, Rey setting up a 619 with a rana but Jimmy rolling out of the ring, eating a basement dropkick. Jey's intervening is stopped by Dom who drops him sluggishly into his brother before he's tagged in, Rey hits the baseball slide splash and Dom the crossbody. In the ring Dom's second crossbody gets 2, three amigos by Dom but he shifted Jimmy too close to Jey, who managed to tag a leg, meaning that Jey throws Dom off the turnbuckle when he tries a Frog Splash. Jey taunts Dom after hitting him into the ring post (who has had a lot of mileage already), gesturing him to try and tag his father before cinching a headlock, Dom tries to fight back but is thrown to the other corner, Jimmy is tagged in and they hit a Backbreaker/Ax Handle combo. Jimmy taunts Dom the same way, diving headbutt for 2, the Usos spend too much time taunting Dom in their corner as the younger Mysterio staggers the twins with elbows, his rush for his father is cut off by a very nonchalant uppercut by Jey (McAfee literally yelling HADOUKEN was amazing). Jey continues to posture after suplexes and more taunting, they look for the third suplex but Dom hooks his leg, reversing it into a twisting neckbeaker.

Rey gets the hot tag as Jey tags Jimmy, planting the Uso with a tornado DDT for 2. Seated Senton and a forearm to Jey on the Apron leads to Rey walking into a Superkick for 2. Both Usos stalk Rey, looking to do a pop-up Powerbomb, but Rey ranas Jimmy out the ring, Jey gets him with a superkick to the gut, then a superkick to counter Rey's springboard crossbody, he hits the Splash but it only gets 2. Jey looks frustrated and tags Jimmy to set up the double splash, but Dom cuts Jey off, he tries to suplex Jey onto the apron but Jey drops him with a front-facing suplex instead. The delay is sufficient though since Rey rolls away from Jimmy's splash, headscissors setup, 619 for a big pop, he goes for the Frog Splash but Jimmy gets the knees up. Superkick by Jimmy, tags in Jey, double Superkick, splash by Jey and 3.

*sigh* Can Rey stop being pinned? It's not like Dom doesn't know how to take a pin. It's, it's sucky really, I've said it enough times but Rey deserves more than this given his popularity and past title wins, WWE would not do this to the likes of Edge or Cena, Angle or Goldberg, hell they wouldn't even do this to Eddie and yet Rey gets this treatment as thanks for being full time. Granted, it took like 3 finishers to down him but come on, compare the light pop this match got when everyone knew the Usos were winning with the pop Rey's hot tag and his 619 got, he still has it and they won over the crowd, with more time and narrative to their match it could've been a classic. I'm just sick of seeing one of my faves lose so much you know, if the story is Dom's inexperience then surely he would be the reason for defeat, rather than Rey being ganged up on.

Tiffany Haddish (who??) interviews Priest on his title win, apparently Priest hates bullies and he's happy...not as cool as his NA title win in the hot tub though. Summerslam could've fit in a hot tub

Rick Boogs then shreds the guitar as he welcomes King Nakamura. McAfee is dancing like a goof again on the table and Nakamura's crown falls off, but he makes up for it by playing the IC title like a guitar with Pat. He's disappeared after the Belair/Sasha package though...kinda confusing why that was there.

SD Women's Championship: Bianca BelAir (c) vs Sasha Banks CANCELLED As Bianca enters with SD Women's Title prints on her gear, the announcer says that Sasha is unable to compete, so Carmella is fighting in her stead. A shame but obviously not intended.

Bianca BelAir (c) vs Carmella INTERRUPTED Props to McAfee for noting the collective disappointment. BelAir looks disappointed too and tells Carmella that she's gonna dish out her frustration on Carmella. The title is aloft but then

Becky Lynch is here

Cameras are not showing enough of her on her return as Bianca buzzes, the crowd is on their feet. Becky's got a thicker mane than I remember, maybe it's the curls, a new shirt of 'The Man's back in Vegas' is worn by Becky too as she soaks in her pop. When the cameras stop long enough to focus on Becky she is looking extra lean. She attacks Carmella and dumps her out of the ring, she tells Bianca she'll be right back and throws Carmella into the steps, before standing off with Bianca. She grabs a microphone and asks for a title match, BelAir mulls it, but eventually accepts.

Becky Lynch def. Bianca BelAir (c) [TITLE CHANGE] (Pinfall via Manhandle Slam) Both women are amped up, Lynch offers a handshake but the moment they touch, she socks Bianca, Manhandle Slam and 3. Becky celebrates as BelAir looks stunned and a little shafted, Becky does gesture no hard feelings but, BelAir does have hard feelings.

It's a big pop for Becky's return, though I would've rather seen you know, a match. I love Becky, she's been one of my favourite women's wrestlers in WWE before she was even The Man, and I am psyched she's back, but BelAir vs Becky could've been a good match. we didn't need the Carmella stuff either just have BelAir call an open challenge in Sasha's absence. Also as thin as the SD Women's Division was Becky probably would've fit more for the Raw Women's Title situation, since we last saw her vacating it and that shit's on heavy life support, plus I was kinda hoping that Bianca could beat Sasha but Sasha would win later down the line so we could build Liv Morgan for a title win, I guess October's draft could still open it up. But yeah, happy to see Becky back.

Wrestling Olympic Gold Medalists Tamyra Mensah-Stock and Gable Stevenson come out next, I know WWE have been hot on Gable but after the scripts' comments on Simone Biles it feels forced. Tamyra was at least happy to be here.

Extreme Rules promo is next.

Drew McIntyre def. Jinder Mahal (Pinfall via Claymore) Jinder comes out first, Veer and Shanky only able to stand at the ramp and go to the back. Drew comes with his sword to summon...smoke? You can see how dull that sword is too.

Drew starts the match strong by throwing Jinder in the corner, kicks and chops followed by throws, he motions for Claymore but Jinder rolls out the ring, cutting him at the legs. Jinder's attempt to regain momentum is countered with a belly to belly, so next he tries to appeal to their past friendship but Drew isn't having it. He tries the Futureshock but Jinder kicks him in the face, stunning him for 2. Knee drops and knee chokes are followed by clubs to Drew's head and a choke, but Drew powers out and hits a Glasgow Kiss (which they called a Glaz-gao kiss, it's not that hard to say Glasgow), some more Belly to Bellies leads to a Futureshock and a kip up, 3, 2, 1, Claymore, 1, 2, 3.

McIntyre stepped over Jinder as he celebrated, Veer and Shanky tended to Jinder and then Drew grabbed his sword and started swinging...like the face he is trying to murder these dudes for tending to their boss.

Okay. Easy pop having squashed Jinder, did this need to be on PPV? Probably not, this and Bliss/Eva could've been done on Raw, rather than steal time from Usos/Mysterios and a potential Becky/BelAir banger. Nobody really got over or elevated with this.

Raw Women's Championship: Charlotte Flair def. Nikki A.S.H. (c) and Rhea Ripley [TITLE CHANGE] (Submission on Nikki by Charlotte via Figure Eight) Uncharacteristically, Nikki came out first to nothing, not a pop or a boo, it kinda sounded like fake crowd noises when we had one pop. Rhea got a mini pop next, but loud woos for Charlotte? Don't buy that especially given how she's meant to be the heel. She's in kinda Thanos gear too. The pops were louder for Rhea when her name was announced, Nikki's was mixed and Charlotte had some boos.

The bell rings as Charlotte shoves Nikki, telling her to get out the ring. Rhea shoves Charlotte but Nikki dumps Rhea out the ring, a Monkey Flip to Charlotte then a Rollup on Rhea for 1. Charlotte dumps Rhea as the two tussle, Nikki coming back to boot Charlotte off the apron as part of a bulldog on Rhea. Rhea keeps trying to keep a hold of Nikki but Nikki keeps rolling her up. Charlotte throws Nikki into Rhea like a spear then lariats Rhea and exploder's Nikki. Rhea and Charlotte trade advantages around the turnbuckle, Charlotte fights off a Nikki crossbody and powerslams Nikki onto Rhea, she tries the moonsault but Rhea gets her feet up, Nikki rolls her up but Rhea pulls her off, tries the Riptide but Nikki shifts her weight to splash her. Nikki headscissors Charlotte but is booted by Rhea, Charlotte then boots Rhea and taunts her, Rhea then starts finding energy, a Northern Lights for 1 but Charlotte then regains momentum, a huge big boot to dump Rhea out the ring, but Nikki then tornado DDTs Charlotte for 2. Basement Dropkick to Rhea gives Charlotte time to catch Nikki but Rhea german's them both, Missile Dropkick to Charlotte by Rhea only gets 2 as Charlotte flees to the outside. The two trade blows on the outside, to be flattened by Nikki's crossbody.

Pulling Charlotte in the ring, Charlotte resists the suplex, but Rhea comes in to double up on Charlotte, only for Charlotte to reverse it to a double DDT, Flair chops are suppressed but Charlotte still manages to fend off Nikki and Rhea, Corkscrew Moonsault on the outside takes the two out. She drags Rhea in but Rhea gets a boot, Nikki tries to roll up Rhea but only gets 2. Rhea's limping a bit but still kicks Nikki and cinches in her Inverted Cloverleaf, she dodges the Big Boot from Charlotte (perhaps inadvertently) and locks it into Charlotte, but she rolls through and gets the Figure 8, which is broken by Nikki's knee drop. Nikki hits a Purge but it's broken up by Rhea, she sets another Riptide but again Nikki counters this time with a Reverse Tornado DDT, dumping Rhea out the ring. Nikki sees Charlotte prone, setting up the Crossbody, but she misses, Charlotte locks the Figure 8 and taps.

Abrupt finish, it was a really well-worked match selling the chaos of the triple threat. But I never felt like Charlotte was in danger of losing, Nikki wasn't working because they rushed her new character without getting her over, so of course WWE were gonna fall back to ye olde Charlotte title win. The narrative didn't help either, she seemed like the babyface and again, didn't feel threatened, I never saw the opening for Charlotte to lose. In a vacuum it was a good match, as a whole though, since Rhea won the title at mania nobody's gotten over, they made an absolute hash of the Charlotte feud to the point where we didn't even feel invested in Rhea getting a win back, then we fast tracked a cash in. The only one who profited here was Charlotte, who got to add 2 more title reigns to her name on paper, had Becky came here to make it a 4-Way and won, it'd probably have been more hopeful because now, who is next? Asuka's AWOL, Shayna's buried, Alexa's on spooky shits, Rhea's broken, Nikki isn't getting over, who can Charlotte face at this point?

Edge def. Seth Rollins (Submission via Crossface) Dressed like some aristocrat, Seth entered first half smug half focused, it may've dragged on a bit long. Edge didn't come out to Metalingus, but instead he came out in the fires of the Brood, with the dark sunglasses, fire and the elevated platform to boot, but then Metalingus came out to give the people what they want.

The bell rings but there's a long pause to soak in the crowd investment. Edge has the early advantage with a swift punch, every time Seth tries to lock in on Edge he hits back, annoying Seth as he mulls outside the ring. He tries the Pedigree but is again dumped out the ring, this time Edge follows and throws him around the barriaces, Rollins returns to the ring but is knee'd out, but gets some advantage by dodging the Baseball Slide and driving Edge into ye olde Ring Post, then against the steps. Neckbreaker only gets 2 as he continues to focus on the neck with chokes, stomps and slingblades, another neckbreaker leads to another 2 as Seth taunts Edge about it.

A diving knee by Rollins gets 2 as Seth kicks around Edge, he tries another neckbreaker but Edge reverses into a backslide for 2, Flapjack and a tackle into the turnbuckle, Seth fends off Edge at the turnbuckle though and hits the Frog Splash for 2 but for the second time Edge rolls into the corner to avoid the stomp. Rollins pulls Edge to the turnbuckle, but Edge hits him with a top turnbuckle spinning neckbreaker, Flapjack onto the top rope, Edgecution for 2, Rollins stuns Edge by driving him into the Turnbuckle, but he misses his knee strike into an Head Yank for 2. Edge goes up top but Rollins turns it into his Superplex/Falcon Arrow combo for 2, he sets up the Stomp but misses, tries the Pedigree but Edge wriggles out, Glam Slam by Edge for 2, nice homage for Beth there. Seth gets back the momentum though, Jawbreaker on the ropes then a neckbreaker on the ropes, Edge dodges the stomp on the apron though and throws Seth into the ring post (not ye olde ringpost though it's a different one) and then a spear through the ropes into the outside. A bulldog into the apron LED only gets 2, but now Edge is setting up the spear, but Rollins counters into a Pedigree (Pat mustn't have watched Roman vs Seth before because he said he has never seen that counter) but it only gets 2.

Rollins climbs up top looking for the Phoenix Splash, he lands on his feet and rolls away but walks into a spear, 1, 2, No. Edge now looking for the Killswitch but Rollins clubs then kicks Edge in the back of the head, he tries the Stomp but Edge rolls and catches the boot, turning it into an Edgecator, Seth reaches for the ropes so Edge tries to pull him back, but in releasing the hold he gets rolled up for 2. Edge then tries the Crossface, rolling to the center of the ring, but Edge slams his head into the mat and reapplies it for the tapout.

A nicely worked match again that managed to showcase a lot of Edge's past bag of tricks. The second I was wrong about too, I expected Seth to get some momentum to try and challenge Roman like he had been teasing before this feud (on that note, where's Cesaro? Miss that dude), but it was definitely something for the fans to cheer about. The narrative of avoiding the Stomp was also good for the storytelling, Seth doesn't lose anything in defeat either, he's took 2 spears, 2 crossfaces, Edgecator and the Edgecution.

MITB 22 is announced on 4th July at the Allegiant Stadium, Vegas (the same venue as tonight). Expect there to be a Murica match in there. In addition attendance today is 51k. We scope back around to Miz and Morrison's kickoff thing, mostly getting a jobber entrance. The moist jokes were worst this time around as they marketed the 'Drip Stick 2000' which neither had. Who did have it? A very wet and long-haired Xavier Woods with a cocktail stick in their mouth and a 'New Day Order' shirt. Woods convinces the crowd to rally into shooting them with a water gun, though it didn't really get a pop in the act, dumb shit really but whatever Woods' new look is I dig it.

WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (w/MVP) (c) def. Goldberg (via Ref Stoppage) Lashers out first...no sanctity it seems. He's walking into the ring with purpose, his pose has no pyro though, kinda a lukewarm smoke that'd make Revolution 2020's explosion smirk. Goldberg does his usual entrance, lots of quick camera switching again. Dude looks a bit top-heavy tbh, skipping those leg days. Lashley paces across Goldberg's periphery, it doesn't look like there'll be underestimation in this fight.

They lock up first, a bit of strength testing, Goldberg tanks a shoulder block, grounding Lashley with a flying shoulder block, then a body slam. Goldberg is keeping the advantage with corner attacks and clotheslines but Lashley clubs at the back. He sets up a Jackhammer for insult to injury, but Goldberg keeps his leg hooked, he tries to lift Lashley but can't follow through and gets hit with a flatliner. No sympathy from Lashley as he clubs at the back of the head before uncharacteristically going up top, which Goldberg punishes by throwing him down, Goldberg looks for the Spear but MVP yanks Lashley outside, only for Goldberg to spear him on the outside anyway.

Goldberg sets up a second spear, but as the ref focuses on Lashley rolling out the other side, MVP thwacks Goldberg's knee with his cane, distracting Goldberg long enough to be chop blocked. Chokeslam makes Lashley look for the Hurt Lock, but he can't connect the fingers, as Goldberg escapes though he gets chop blocked again, causing Goldberg to leave the ring. Lashley follows, lifting him up and charging him knee first into the ring post twice. Struggling to stand, the Ref throws the match.

The match is over but Lashley continues to attack the leg with a steel chair. Gage Goldberg attempts to jump but gets wrenched with a Hurt Lock. MVP tries to assure that Lashley wouldn't have known that he was attacking Goldberg's son but it means little, Goldberg insisting he's gonna kill Lashley, meaning this feud isn't over.

The heat was right, the delivery was wrong. We've seen people beat Goldberg clean, I don't see why Lashley, who has beaten people who have beaten Goldberg clean, couldn't do that himself? Needing MVP's help flattens the statement made.

Camera work got a bit wonky there when promoting the Main Event

Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) def. John Cena (Pinfall via Spear) Cena's the first to come out, sporting a Super Mario-esque shirt showing his 16 world title reigns, the reigns also shown on the tron, they actually mentioned Ric Flair this time. The Bronze Statue hologram for Roman is still tacky, but he comes out flanked with his cousins and Paul, smoke again instead of pyro - I wonder if they weren't allowed to pyro. Heyman whispers the Usos to leave Roman to walk the ramp. I spotted an 'Anyone but you Roman' sign in the crowd, before McAfee makes me smirk again by calling Roman an 'absolute stud'.

Roman's a little ginger about locking up with Cena, but is goaded into it, winning the shoulder block. A second lock up leads to a Cena roll up for 1, trying to call back to the go home smackdown, another schoolboy for 2 but Roman laughs it off. Roman doesn't lock up again, kicking and clubbing at Cena while mocking the crowd, a lariat is reversed into another rollup for 2 but gets him back with a reverse lariat (he used the back of his arm, like a chop lariat), a Suplex by Roman leads to a 2 count, then the rest hold. Cena tries to break but Roman smacks him, another suplex for 2 then he dumps Cena out the ring, Cena blocks the punch and tries to flurry back, but is whipped into the steel steps. After some posturing Roman smacks Cena headfirst into the steps again, then posing with the belt as he claims that the crowd needs him, he saunters to the ring but walks into another schoolboy for 2, leading to another punch.

Roman insists that Cena can't win like this, but in his gloating Cena almost lifts him for the AA, which Roman counters into a DDT for 2. Roman almost looks bored, telling the hard cam that he's not apologetic about hurting Cena, Cena once again tries the forearms but when he tries the flying shoulder block he runs into an uppercut. Roman mocks Cena for having only five moves, but again it's a rollup for 2, this time Roman counters with a sleeper, Cena tries to fight but Roman puts his body weight on him, he tries again and Roman uses his weight again, only this time Cena launches him into the corner and follows up with a clothesline. Then come the shoulder tackles, the twisting front drop, but as he tiredly goes for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, Roman snaps in the Guillotine, Cena tries the Jackknife pin for 2, the hold is broken but this time it's a Superman Punch. Roman wastes too much time though and his spear is countered with a kick, this time the 5 Knuckle Shuffle hits, AA, 1, 2, No. Heyman's having heart palpitations ringside but Cena's locked in the STF, Roman makes the rope to break the hold and leaves the ring, but as Cena looks to follow he's hit by a Drive By.

Roman looks to put Cena away with a Spear on the outside, but Cena counters it with an AA through the Announcer's Table, he drags Roman back into the ring but only gets the 2. Cena goes up top, looking for a dropkick maybe, but he's caught into a powerbomb for 2. Roman seems to be prepping his Superman Punch, but Cena rolls for 2, picks up for the AA but can't lift him all the way, allowing Roman to hit the Superman Punch for another 2. Roman is getting irritated now, Cena's been in his head after all, he goes for the Spear but meets ye olde ring post. Cena pulls Roman up for the Avalanche AA, he lands it, 1, 2, No! Cena taunts Roman this time, quoting his entrance theme then mocking the Oooowaaah, the Spear is cut off though, instead they trade blows, one Superman Punch, two Superman Punch, Roman declares he is WWE and lands the Spear, 1, 2, 3.

Roman stands over the prone Cena, but then the noise is heard. Brock Lesnar is in the building, and he still has the hipster look. Cameras lose control again as Heyman finds a conflict in interest, dude is absolutely jacked though. He approaches Roman in a staredown, but Roman just leaves the ring to close the night. Apparently off-air Lesnar then attacked Cena.

You know what would've made this match better? If the conclusion wasn't so forgone after Smackdown. Did anyone actually think that WWE would let Roman quit? At least before Roman's career was at stake there was a 10% chance Cena could leave as the winner, which would've made the nearfalls much more believable.

As for Lesnar, well, Vince always wanted Roman/Brock to be the main level feud and he's always getting his way. It'll draw, but it only puts paper over the submarine window that is the problem.

Conclusion

A good PPV though. I don't think there was any match that was awful. And that's kinda saying something with Eva Marie involved. Some segments and matches were, legless perhaps, stuff you could've be done with or even just put on Raw which is a shame because that took time from matches, as I said I would've liked to actually see Becky and Bianca wrestle and the Mysterios get more time.

The returns were good, I suppose Chicago definitely had nothing to do with that. But I'm not gonna be sad about seeing Becky Lynch again.

My main problem is probably how despite the big card, there was no doubt, I mean I got all but a couple of matches right on this card and it was because the matches were all built so obviously, those two frankly I predicted because I expected a bit more swerve. Part of it could be the fatigue of all the good wrestling we've seen so far but compared to other PPVs where I've felt on the edge of my seat or shaking in my ribs I just felt cosy, like it was a casual watch.

It was certainly not bad, definitely a good outing with good wrestling, but there is room still to improve on the narrative, and camera work like seriously learn to linger, immediate snap cuts throw people off. New directions are ahead to fulfill that so hopefully WWE can find a course to get back on.

(this post was supposed to be uploaded before the gun one, I forgot I didn’t post this from my drafts lol) I’m gonna be honest I’m not 100% sure that I like her design just yet. Like, some days I look at it and I love it, and other days I open the file and I think that it looks stupid. Either way, it is better than her old design, and that’s the main goal for my redesigns.

So my main inspiration behind her was lolita fashion and ballet dancers. Cayla (Eivrun’s real name) is a dancer. I recently changed both Rana and her to be in the same dancing class, which is where they met. The other half of her design, mainly the transparent parts, come from... Warframe. So in the last few months I started getting back into Warframe, and I got Ivara prime. I changed her colors to be like an orange-pink and a cyan. Ivara has a transparent skirt that glows, and when I played her and jumped around I loved the way it flowed and swished around. So I added it to Eivrun’s design.

I also got the great idea of making a transparent fabric as her mask. I decided that each main character in Old Blood is going to have a different style of mask. Right now Lykena has a full face mask, Ardouino has a classic superhero style, and Eivrun got fabric lol.

The main idea in this design was to show richness, while also the flow and mobility of dancer costumes. Also to make her cute. And I’m not very used to making cute characters, so this was quite the challenge for me.

I still need to draw her face in front and side view to add to the character sheet but it’s not hard and I’ll do it before I choose which character sheet will go in my portfolio.

Which also reminds me... I might need to make a logo for Old Blood... ugh that is gonna be hard... but it will make everything look more professional...

#Old Blood #Eivrun #Character Design #btw I'm making a sillouette line up for OB characters #and she's so short compared to Lykena and Ardouino its really cute

jj x latinx/hispanic reader headcanon

as promised, im posting my first jj writing to celebrate 50 awesome followers!

a/n: this is my first time writing on tumblr. i never planned to, but everytime i watch outerbanks i notice how jj has a lil obsession with yucatan and saying stuff in spanish.

im kind of curious where that comes from and the idea of him dating someone hispanic/latinx popped into my head.

anyways, i just wanted to write this for all of the hispanic/latinx peeps. hope y’all can relate, im mexican sooo some of it is based off of my life, but I also include stuff that can apply to all hispanic/latinx cultures.

i hope you like it!

- watching spanish films or novelas, especially the black and white classics

- of course you would put on subtitles for jj, but he’s picked up some words from listening to you speak spanish ( or in a certain dialect or indigenous language)

- sometimes he would just admire you being so focused on the film and watch you occasionally quote the next scene under your breath, since you remember watching those films and shows growing up

- celebrating traditional holidays together with your family

- you and him going over to your parents house to celebrate el dia de los reyes with the traditional bread

- you explained to jj that there were baby figurines hidden in the bread and whoever gets one, then they make the tamales for christmas

- a few seconds into munching on the bread and JJ realized he got it after biting on the hard, white plastic. everyone cheered and laughed at the poor boy with big eyes staring at the little baby figurine

- “ i can barely make a sandwich “

- “don’t worry i’ll teach you baby”

- the day before Christmas Eve, jj and you helped make tamales with your mom. your mom put you and jj to knead la masa. there would be a few moments where jj would intertwined his fingers with yours, which made you blush.

- but, you slapped his hand away signaling him to get back to work because your mom has a strict schedule when it comes to the food

- him being mind blown from tasting tamales and your mom giving him plate after plate

- visiting family

- your tias would be all over him and your tios and primos would tease him and call him el gringo

- but over time they all warmed up to him and he’s always welcome to family events.

- you would invite him over whenever there was a get together for soccer games and boxing matches on tv

- playing la lotería with your family

- one night he was reading the cards out loud

- but there would be little giggles from everyone when he pronounced something wrong or it would just sound funny when he said them

- “el árbol, wey” your tio yelled after jj’s numerous failed attempts to pronounce it correctly

- “el árbol wey” jj repeated

- everyone bursted out laughing

- he makes an effort to learn and speak spanish with family members

- but sometimes he would look at you if he needs help finishing a sentence

- one time you left him alone with your tias and you remember looking at him, who looked terrified at not knowing what to say or what they were saying

- “never leave me alone”

- “don’t worry, i’ll get you a spanish dictionary next time to keep you company”

- you teaching him the cuss words in spanish

- he would legit argue with anyone that gave you a bad look when you talked in spanish

- although jj is not much of a church boy, he makes an effort to clean up nice and go to service with your family and you.

- which only makes his parents love him more

- introducing him to spanish rock

- caifanes

- los enanitos verdes

- los bunkers

- juanes

- inspector

- division minúscula

(those are just some of my favs)

- him admiring you by the doorway as you dance around in the kitchen listening to bad bunny in one of his shirts

- at some big family parties of yours, there would be mariachi or some singing group. everyone joins in and goes wild with el grito

- jj spent a week trying to do el grito

- taking care of him when he’s sick

- which includes massaging his chest with vapor rub. making him your moms caldo de pollo with pieces of tortilla in it.

- “ i told you not to go to sleep with your hair wet after surfing”

- him groaning into his pillow, because you’ve been scolding him all day and would yell at him to put on socks

- saying sana sana colitia de rana when he got hurt

- nicknames you call him: bebe, amor, huerito, cariño

- he loves your breakfasts

- him waking up to the smell of whatever you’re cooking made him the happiest. you would cook him huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, sopes, huevos a la mexicana, tortas and etc. (or any of your favorites, these are just my personal faves)

- you would pack him a torta in his lunch bag you made for work

- he loves it when you both cook and you teach him all of the family recipes you loved growing up

- making him chips con salsa or guacamole, chocolate de abuelita, or giving him pan dulce as comfort food when he has a bad day

- when he stays at your house he has a hard time finding the butter you asked him for, because each one turns out to be either salsa or beans

- taking him with you on your trip to (insert your family’s country) to visit family

- surprising him with tickets to yucatan on his 18th

- before the trip, he would go on and on about you two buying a house in mexico and having a fish shack and surfing til the sun sets

- he would try to sneak in tequila into the US

- you and jj have known eachother for years, so when your quince came up, you asked him to be your main chambelan. this was before y’all started dating

- jj would play around in practice and there were times you let your nerves get the best of you and went off on him

- but when it did come down to your big day, jj made sure you felt like the most special person in the world and that there was no trouble that night

- that night, especially during the waltz, he knew he wanted to be the one to make you feel like most special person all the time.

- you would be a part of a ballet folklorico group that did occasional performances at the local theater

- jj would be so supportive and even stay at your practices to watch, since he was your ride

- at the chateau before performances or just if you need more practice, he helps out with choreography

- you would even catch him subtly do a carretilla or a zapateado during the day

- he would bring flowers or your favorite snack to your show

- he would cheer from the crowd and be the loudest

- jj loved seeing you dressed in the traditional clothing, while dancing your heart out. he loved that you’re so in touch with your culture and you let him into that part of your world

- he would massage your head, since the tight bun and that one annoying bobby pin stabbing your scalp did some damage

- teaching him how to dance cumbia, bachata, zapatear and etc.

- growing up jj loved going to your bday parties because of the piñata

- he was definitely the kind to throw himself on top of the candy and try to get one of the loose cones to use as a bag

- whenever trump got elected, jj got you a trump pinata and handed you a baseball bat

- “let him feel your wrath babe”

- you are a part of an after school club that helps indigenous communities in hispanic/latinx countries

- jj would be supportive and get you coffee for those long nights when you were planning a fundraiser or doing research

- he would even attend the meeting or go to the fundraisers you helped planned

- he would wear a threaded bracelet with his name on it, which you got from a lady who made and sold them on the street a long time ago from visiting your family’s homeland. since then he never took it off, even though it looks a little worn down
