DRISTAAAAA TIMEEE

VOD: TommyInnit Speaks To Dream’s Sister AGAIN

(rp): Drista!! I love this chaotic child and am looking forward to seeing the children bully each other lmao. I especially love the mythos around Creative mode, and that the most benevolent god on the Dream SMP is just as likely to ban you as hand you a shulker box lol.

I do wonder how in character cc!Tommy is going to be able to stay during this stream: on one hand he’s a master at staying in character even during lh moments, and on the other Exile arc is some Dark Shit and Dristas like what, 14?? Overall I expect this to be one of the lighter streams, with a smattering of moments where we remember that, oh right, Tommy’s pretty actively suicidal at this point and he sees this as one of his last hurrahs.

Speaking of our boy Tommy: it's very clear we are getting closer and closer to the infamous pillar. He switches rapidly between Fight and Fawn reflexes and has mostly internalized Dream’s treatment and conditions at this point. The one stand out moment being him calling out Dream killing Mexican Dream last stream, and pointing out he was changing his story even when Dream tried to lie and say he died of “a drug overdose [...] or natural causes”. I’m curious if Tommy is going to bring it up again, and even more curious if he eventually believes Dream about it; something to watch out for, for sure. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this moment of rebellion happened right after he had someone both stand up for him and spend time with him that wasn’t actively hostile or going to end (supposedly, at least by intention)

Hey we didn’t start off drowning for once!! cc!Tommy was also singing, though that could have been mostly out of character as well. Still, remarkably in a better mood, he even mentions having an appetite! You love to see it, and it's clearly because he’s looking forward to Drista’s visit

He’s building a log tower and on one hand, Tommy building Towers is a natural state of being, and on the other…. I know the pillar is coming and I am scared

A mention of the Anti-Dream hole… I still worry about when exactly and how Dream is going to find it. Still, I’m glad it exists, both for Tommy having a space for things important to him, as well as what it represents about his mental state re:not giving over completely to Dream

DRISTA!!!! LOL she was already online we didn't even see her join LOL. CHAOS GREMLIN she just flew over in creative mode and started wrecking shit, as is her right lmaoooo

“You massive jer--, (quieter) whats a nicer way…, YOU MASSIVE DICKHEAD” oh, Tommy..

I like how he tries to punch her even when shes CLEARLY IN CREATIVE MODE ADSADASD

The violence inherent in fourteen year olds,,,, adsfsadfsdfds

I hate this conversation why is this the conversation asdffdsfsd TEENAGERS

DREAM YOUR NOT EVEN A TEENAGER WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE SAME LOGIC

Well SHE can destroy the obsidian asdfsdfds She just Spleefs

“What would Dream do” Probably worse lets be honest

Is he actually gonna go back to L’manburg?? I don’t believe it but I also want :(

Again with the stabbing

AND DOWN HE GOEEEESSSS

“I have the fork, but I'm also killing you” afsafsdfdsf Tommy why are you wearing your good shit omg

Lol cc!Dream trying to defend his character for mocking Tommy’s accent adsfsdfds “I would NEVER” in the totally not believable tone lmaoooo

DID SHE REALLY GO AT HIM WITH A FORK I'M FUCKING DYING DSAFDADSFDS

“I will take it from you and I’ll kill him”... I have so many thoughts about how this works in lore. Is Drista possessing Dream? He can kick her out clearly, but she still has God Powers…

Lol and now SHES mocking his accent lmaoooo (... is it bad she sounded pretty close to me? lol)

Adsfdsfswd casual chaos Drista just broke the Nether Portal

Asking Drista to stop destroying things is a big ask to be honest lmaoo. Also she seems to be at least somewhat informed that ‘Dream is not supposed to be nice to Tommy’ or at least seemed hesitant to do /weather clear

GOD THE LAVA BUCKETS AND THE POTION OF HARMING adsfsdfsdf

“Tommy [beheaded him] actually… and killed Mexican Dream” Dream you motherfucker

“How to Sex 3” THE PANIK!!!!!! From Both cc!Dream and Tommy!!! This server is Not Child Friendly lol (Doesn’t…. That not even include sex things…. afasfsd)

Honestly I can’t stop smiling this is so wholesome somehow even with all the cursing and violence

Pigstep IS a bop, Tommy is right

“Just let him, just let him this one time” :(

“Tommy I still have the Fork” Drista totally willing to stab her brother to visit L’manburg

HE TOOK THE FORK ASDASDAS

Yes, closing your eyes will totally protect you from Forks lol

“I don’t need school, I dropped out” Is this Lore Crumbs, is this Lore

HEYYYY ITS THE BEDROCK, the one piece of bedrock he has lol, I think he still has that in current day right?

Drista is writing her name in BEDROCK adsfsdfds “I’m not going to be able to get rid of that actually” “That's the Point”

LOL SHe also recognized the burrito as from Mos lmaooo

Somehow “I really want to go to the other place.. I don’t know why he won’t let you” hit hard… it was def ooc, and she doesn’t have the full context, but still… its just someone else wanting and asking for Tommy to be able see L’manburg…

Afsdfsd the Small Gasp when she spleefs herself omgg

HES THERE!!! HES THERE!!!!!! L’MANBURG!!!!!!

Punz!!! WHY!!!! Were you there bc Drista might let Tommy through, was this a safeguard for the LORE. Also he’s currently working for Dream directly right, as a merc?

Drista trying to save Tommy!!!! Punz why are you winning a fight with someone in creative adfsadfsd He’s too good lol

They have negotiated a visit… I’m so emotional I wasn’t expecting this…. No one told me we got a real L’manburg visit !

BIG Q SHES FOURTEEN!!! Omg they didn’t tell him it was Drista. BIG Q!!! BIG Q DON’T SELL HER DRUGS

“He was Naked” good for you Drista, good for you. There’s something so hilarious about Drista just stabbing Quackity over and over again cause she’s uncomfortable lol (as is her right)

LOL THE FINAL KILL WITH MAGIC WHEN HE’S ALREADY DROWNING IM

Wha --- what video was it????? What is this Tommy picture on the Technoganda???

….”are you sure I’m allowed here” Dream’s conditioning is strong :(

“At many minute I could get mugged” To be Fair Tommy, that was true before

Did Tommy just suggest spawning in a Wither asdfsdfds

DRISTA DOG ARMY!!!! Aww and Tommy has one too~

THE BENCH!! THE HOUSE!!! Aaaaaaaaa He’s sitting on the bench nature is HEALING

AAAAAAAA A BLAZE!!!! Pfffft

…. Who destroyed the front of Tommys house?

,,,,Drista what are you doing with that soULSAND

“OK we'll turn on him” adsfsdfsd

OH HEY TECHNO!!! Lol “Oh god he meant me” fucking mood big man

……. Tubbo hallucination……… fuck

LOL HE COMBAT LOGGED “YOU CALL THAT COMBAT” I'M

To be fair, logging against a /kill is probably the only way to get away lmao

…...F

“Getting thrown off a cliff is literally how Theseus died!!” lol its also hilarious to me that Tommy def does not remember being called that. Personally I don't think it fits him super well anyway, but I do like it as something Techno calls Tommy, that shows how much he misjudges Tommy's character and intentions. No heroes here, just a kid trying to do good by their friends and what they care about

Techno actually looking up how to kill someone in creative mode

…. :( I just want my actual clingyduo content this is meeeeannn

OH HEY TECHNO …. You fucker he would and it would be HILARIOUS (get mad if Drista opped Techno that is lol)

….

….

IS THIS WHY THEY’RE BEDROCK BROS????? BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE DRISTA BEDROCK??????????????????????????

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS ???

LOL TRUE DUO SUPREMACY TUBBO’S GOT TECHNO'S BEDROCK

Oh F Techno got him with the Obliterator lmaoooo

“I have 114 levels PLEASE” asdfdasfsdf

Drista being the chaotic giver of illegal gifts is so fucking good I'M THRIVING

THE RUN ON PUNZ !!!! omg

Also can we just take a minute to appreciate Tommy being allowed around people <3 <3 This is so wholesome and good and chaotic as all hell

“I thought I was Tom Cruz for like a whole week” ...TOMMY??

LOL SHE BANNED TECHNO OMG

Dristas on a banning Rampage afsdfsdf

BAN GOGGY OMGGG

Omg shes actually making a wITHER DASDASDFAS

Oh no poor Tubbo I didn’t know he was liVE

Asfdsfs she fell through the same hole again afsdfsdfsd

Drista has been introduced to a Weapon and she’s gotten ATTACHED lmaooo

Wait HOLD THE PHONE Dream has multiple sisters??? Lol

“Yeah I like Shit” Dream: “whAT???”

Bye Drista it’s been nice!!! I hope she had a good time, she seems like a good kid (who is definitely not a content creator lol though she keeps up admirably)

Drista’s one of the few people who can make Tommy speechless lmaooo he looks actually shocked lol

Also first mention of GhostInnit…. cc!Tommy…..

Keep preparing…. Was his original plan to rush Dream even if (maybe especially if…) he died? Fuck man

Also holy shit was this stream right before Quackitys? ? amazing

This was honestly such a BLAST and a really good time, and I can see why its viewed as one of the few breaks we get during Exile :) I feel so refreshed and it was so so nice to have Tommy hanging out in L’manburg having fun with his friends (even if Tubbo was stuck being a Hallucination and Also Banned lol) No deeper insight, I just haven’t stopped smiling for an hour and a half <3

[bluecatstory]

The fortunate one

Boy met a tea kettle genie. Unfortunately, this wish-granting genie did not get to grant a single wish. This is an AU 100% based on Neil Gaiman's The October Tale. Also, the main pairing here is GoYuu (Gojo Satoru/Itadori Yuuji), so please click back if you don’t like it. 

---

“Ahh, this feels great. I haven’t got this good stretching from a longg timeee.”

Yuuji Itadori had had a fair share of abnormal things in his life. Like how he had weird tiger markings (?) on his face and genetically non-dyed pink hair. Like when he used to have a jellyfish imaginary friend. Like how his friend Megumi may or may not have the ability to summon dogs. Or, like sometimes, he could still see his family talking and laughing in the house like they never left. 

Yuuji figured he might not be normal as well. But it was not really a problem for him. He had found a way to ignore it and keep on living. 

So back to where he was, lying on the floor as he looked up to the white-haired man fly (?) - floating on-air, black cloak fluttering and his eyes covered with blindfolds. The only thing not depressing and stuffy about him, Yuuji thought, was his constant smirk. 

“Are you a genie?” Yuuji asked out loud. He was even surprised by how straightforward he sounded. 

“Hmm, what makes you think of that, sakura boy?” The strange man’s smirk widened into a mischievous grin. 

“Because when I rub the kettle, you appear in a puff of smoke? Like a... tea kettle genie? Or you’re at least a magical being. You can float and see through your blindfolds, I guess. Your clothing is not similar to the genie that I know, but it may just be how people reimagine them. All in all, the highest chance is still that you’re a genie.” Yuuji rambled. 

The man seemed like he was about to burst into laughter. 

“Well, I was about to introduce myself as a dark overlord or some sinister being to scare you a bit. But… Ding ding ding! You got it, smart boy! This is a genie-in-the-flesh!” 

The man - or genie twirled around in the air. And like a grand performer, he ended it with a cool pose like a hero in Yuuji’s shounen manga. He folded his hands and bowed deeply. 

“Rejoice! Through heavens and earth, you are the fortunate one. I am the genie of the tea kettle. And I have the power to grant you three wishes. A very helpful tip: Don’t even start with the “I wish for more wishes.” That doesn’t work, and you’ll lose a wish. Ok, go!”

Yuuji just stared at the overly-enthusiastic genie. 

“If you have problems thinking, I can give you some suggestions: Money? Become the richest? Find One Piece? You ever dream of flying—”

“Umm… sorry, Mr. Genie, sir.” The boy suddenly raised his voice. “It’s ok. I don’t have any wishes. I mean, thank you and all that. But I’m good.” 

The white-haired being just made a face like Yuuji’s answer was the most outrageous and grabbed his left chest as if he had a heart attack. “Honey, sweetie, I’m THE genie. Just say a word, and the world will bow down to you. Come on. You definitely have something you desire. Just say whatever.” 

“It’s fine, really. Just like I said. I don’t have anything.” The boy with tiger markings smiled at him. “Do you want anything to drink? Is chamomile tea fine with you? Or water? Do you get thirsty after a long time staying in that kettle?” 

“Well, yes, I am thirsty, but hello? Genie? Three wishes? Anything in the world?”

“Come with me. I’ll make you some.” Yuuji’s smile grew as he led the astounded floating man. 

...

“Thank you. Can you add sugar to it?” 

“No problem.”

“But I don’t understand. Everyone, literally everyone I've met - they always ask for a bigger house, power, control, a big harem,... Ooh, I get one! Do you want a girl, like someone tall with big butts, to love, hold, and cherish you? Or if you bat for another team, I can definitely arrange that—” 

The pink-haired boy just cracked up. Never before have the genie heard such a cute laugh. 

“Sorry I’m good. And please call me Yuuji. I’m not sweetie, honey, or dear. Do you have a name, or should I just stick with Genie?” 

The silence suddenly filled the room. The boy nervously reached out and waved his hands in front of our current neighborhood genie. 

“Did… did I say something wrong, Mr. Genie?”

“Not wrong, very strange, though. People always want things. And you insist that you don’t. Are you absolutely sure? And you can drop Mr. Genie. Call me Gojo.” 

“100%. No wishes. But if you need me to free you, I’ll make my wish right now. Uh… Is it ok, Gojo?” 

“No need for that, my cute Yuuji. It’s just community service. Now, I’m not entirely convinced so! Guess who’s gonna stick with you for the time being till you say yes: Me!”

Yuuji laughed again. This time was soft but hearty laughter. If there were an award for the best smile/laugh, Yuuji would surely win, Gojo thought. 

“Sure, sure. How’s the tea?”

It was the finest tea Gojo the Genie had tasted for centuries. 

Like a curious kid who just got a hand on a new toy or witnessed a magic trick for the first time in his life, Yuuji’s questions came like a flood to the genie. He asked where Gojo came from, whether Genii had families, if he felt the need to please everyone, or just doing his job as a community worker who happened to grant wishes. Gojo calmly answered in his most genie way. That Yuuji should not think of him as a mortal, for he was a powerful, magical, and omnipotent being. 

“Ok, but do you like pancakes? You hungry?”

Although Gojo was stuck in the kettle for you-don’t-know-how-long, he was very, very updated with the current world. So yes. Yuuji just flashed to the fridge and whipped up the batter. After a few minutes, hot buttery sweet pancakes were already presented on the plate. 

Gojo poured all honey on the pancakes as he ate with delight. 

He jerked up suddenly. The sugar rush must have given him an idea. 

“I know! Just make a wish, and all specialties from around the world would be on this table in a snap. Each will be the most mouth-watering, scrumptious delights served on golden plates. All for you!”

“Yeah, I’m good. Actually, would you care to buy some groceries with me? There’s nothing left in the fridge for two people.” 

“Urggghhh. Fine. Take me to whatevs, Good.”

“Gojo!”

Chapter 1 - End.

Rise of the Titans liveblog!!!

that intro made me unexpectedly emotional

So if Blinky is narrating, he can't die, right? Right????

BRO THE SUBWAY SCENE!!!! We're getting right fuckin into it!!!

Steve, my son!!!

I wish Toby wasn't a constant punchline 🙃 it just makes me not take his character seriously

CLAIRE!!!!!!

Something about Douxie decking Skrael at the first opportunity is just so sexy of him

Jim is incredibly brave but it's really reckless to go hand-to-hand with a demigod without proper armor

My heart goes BUMBUMBUMBUM when Douxie looks out the traincar window

Sexy traincar tracks spell WHO

THE WRECKAGE AWWWW

Oh my gosh the people stuck in the magic circle because they wouldnt get out of the way

NO NO NO DOUXIE NO

So they were arrested that early?? Jeez

Nari's such a cutie

"None of us will be talking to you" *cut to Toby spilling every bean*

TOBY'S FACE AT THE END HAHHAHAHA

Something about Nari's voice coming out of Douxie's body is so deeply odd

Oh hey, Krel to the rescue

AREA 49 HAKSHDKSKD

"And your mom."

I will simply pass away if Blinky dies

I hope Douxie is okay, we haven't seen him in Nari's body and that makes me ✨nervous✨

OH JKJK

Nari is so goddamn pretty

"Only your presence, not your commitment" is such a rapey saying

"Abra-cadabra, buttsnacks" I love that he still says that 🥺🥺 he loves his friends so much

"Do your worst" *cue both Douxie and Nari absolutely screaming in pain*

Krohnisfere? Alrighty then, that's the first mission

"I wouldn't be so sure of that" AWWW

They fixed the amulet???? DUUUUDE

"For the good of all..." 😭😭😭😭

"Or I could lock onto Nari and portal us there" *dead fucking silence*

I hate how Toby's used as a constant punchline.. a penny? Really?

TRAINTRACK MAGIC CIRCLE GO BRRRR

Poor Nari 🥺 Douxie's in so much distress

Oh no, the new amulet isn't working?? Fuckk

That absolutely gorgeous screencap of pissed Aja

Part of me is glad Nari was forced to do this and wasn't actually a traitor

Ice titan awakening sequence? Ice titan awakening sequence.

Oh Nari. Oh sweetie

"The troll with many eyes" how does Charlie know Blinky? 😂

AYYY this where the banner that I found first is from!!! it was so cool seeing my screenshot circulate when we were starved for content 😂😂 everyone was posting various rott icons and banners that they got hoping they'd find a new one

Oh dear.. government

Blinky dear they can't understand you

"Holy frijole" Claire I simply adore you

WOW THAT'S PRETTYYYYY

DOUXIE RESCUING NOMURA 😭😭😭😭 SEXXYYYYY

If I havent said it yet, the animation is breathtaking

OH SHIT JIM

NOMURA????

Please dont let this be a sacrifice

PLEASE NO

BOTH CHANGELINGS????

STRICKLANDER??????

No on-screen death, so it's not real. No on-screen death, do it"# notbsmejelreal

NO ON-SCREEN DEATH BUT IT'S NOT REAL

"There's no revelation I can give you" is a great way of saying he's not relevant, genuinely

Oh wow this guy's freaky

Ohhhh so the green thing from the trailers and promo photos is the Krohnisfere

Archie to the rescue!!!

"That's my boy!" AWWE

"Claire nooo, no no no no YESSS, I'm free!!!" Blinky, never change 😂

Oh wow, they're already in contact with Bellroc's titan??

Different note, but the titan's designs are just different enough to make them interestun

VARVATOS??? Okay jk somehow it's gun robot lmfao

WAIT NEVER MIND HAHAHAH HI BUD

....if the bridge falls, can't Charlie just fly them across

LMAO he just saw his death?? That is what he wanted to see 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's too early to celebrate, there's no way Bellroc is down after just a few pinches

Yeahhh

Oh dear... is Varvatos in danger?

Claire being the warrior of the group is incredible and sexy and hhnnngggg

Toby is a Hufflepuff. I will not be answering questions

That shot of Mexico was incredibly stereotypical

DOUXIE SWEETHEART 🥺🥺

He's trying to hold her hand???? AWWWW

Oh my gosh he's being choked 😳

COACH. COOOOACH

OH THANK GOD!!! Steve doesn't need another paternal figure dying on him

AND WE'RE BACK TO TROLLHUNTERS?.????

HUHHHH

Fuck, man. FUCK, MAN.

Oh, Toby. Ohhhh Toby

CLAIRE 🥺

ROMEO AND JULIET!!!!

Oh my fucking god

"IF YOUD COME OVER TO DINNER" AYYYYY

His smile at Steve 🥺

HE'S HAVING TOBY TAKE THE CANAL???? But wouldnt the amulet still call for Jim?????

"Nothing interesting ever happens in Arcadia" VERY FUCKING FUNNY

Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives living in an existence of quiet desperation, never learning the truth- that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon our shoulders is actually the sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor. That to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don't think. Become.

.......it actually called his name. I can't believe it actually called his name.

The fuck is that ending??? Let Jim REST

“hMm wait hold up, who the heck cuts an orange like that-” 

“I-I actually am not really good at cutting fruits-”, you replied as u look at him

“hyuck baby, sing me a song”, you telling him 

“you’re my missing puzzle piece”, he starts singing softly in ur ears while playing with your hair gently using his delicate fingers 

you rub his cheek slowly as u admiring his tanned skin, the details on his face and his beautiful honey brown eyes 

then u fell asleep 

he pulls the blanket nearby the couch and wrap the blanket around the two of you tightly so warm like a tortilla 

haechan looks at u w that soft eyes for awhile and smile before closing his eyes

“7 days a week, I’ll always hover by your side”, he whispers lightly 

“hyuck” 

“huh-” 

“I love you”, you mumbled before going back to sleep 

“I love you too, idiot.”

If he wanted to, he would.

Possibly a thread- by yours truly.

I’ve been single for over a year- looking for ~something~ (not a relationship but more like, a friends with extremely light benefits) and I just wasn’t finding what I was looking for. However, two weeks ago I updated my tinder profile (though I ended up deleting the app after an hour bc I literally hate it) and I added my Snapchat in my bio and received a friend request at 4:30am and accepted. Why? I was lonely and bored. But here’s why I think it could’ve been the best decision I made for where I am in my life right now.

He snap chatted me at 4:30am and we chatted for a while before he said, “Hey I just got done eating ihop, do you want any of my leftovers?” Weird right? Me being who I am, I was like hell yeah. At this point it’s like 5-6am and he loves thirty minutes away. He just shows up to my apartment at 6am with leftover breakfast and we sat in his car and got to know each other and listened to some music before we went our separate ways and honestly, I thought that’d be the end of that. But boy, I was wrong. And am I glad I was.

Over the course of the next few days- we hung out a few more times. He came to see me, we drive around and listen to music, get to know each other more. You know- the usual. (I should state that I don’t invite men to my apartment so I just feel safer driving around with him.) I remember him buying me coffee a few times. I asked for a small and he got me a large, I thought that was cute. (There’s one example but wait, there’s more.)

The other day I was coming down from two very bad days and decided I needed a mental health day and so voiced that to him. Just kind of told him, you know, “I’m going to light some candles and lay down. I might wash my face.” You know, self care shit (I guess.) And he reminded me to eat (important because I do not eat often because I simply forget.) and he also asked if we could hang out later and I said, sure maybe for a couple hours you know? Anyways, the time comes for him to come hang out and the first thing he does and take me for a large coffee🥰🥰🥰 and we park the car and we’re just doing our thing, hanging out and talking and all of a sudden he says, “Close your eyes I got you something.” And I’m like omG🥺😭 THIS MAAAN. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 He handed me a gift wrapped in yellow wrapping paper(my favorite color.) Inside was a pack of 50 tea light candles (I use them for my baths), three 3-wick scented candles in some of my favorite scents, my favorite alcohol to help me unwind and a journal I had mentioned I had liked to do the prompts in. So I’m sitting there like 🥺🥰😍☺️ And he says, “I know you had a bad couple of days and self care is really important but you also deserve to be taken care of.” 🥺🥰💕 Needless to say, I spent the night with him that night and here’s the best part- I am not pressured into sex and it was strictly a “cuddle-buddy” type thing. Example #2- if he wanted to, he would.

This morning it’ll be roughly 2 weeks of us hanging out, he got me the gift a few days ago and last night I got dRuNk and kind of went on a manic-high episode to just spiraling big timeee. And I called him at 5:00 as I’m sobering up and I’m just telling him how I just don’t understand why my brain is the way it is and how the littlest of things set me off and how I was just so hungry but can’t eat. And he literally sent me $20, drove 30 minutes down here, took me to a breakfast place at 7:00am and we had a little breakfast date, we sat in his car/drove around for a few hours and when I told him I should go home to get some sleep, he stopped at the grocery store and bought me something to put in my fridge for lunch AND dinner. IF HE WANTED TO, HE WOULD.

I am so blessed. I think this “relationship” is going to work out. I’m hoping I’m not speaking too soon. And I hope I have things to add soon.💛

Okay

What up it's 1 and I just wrote this thing in one sitting on my phone so here's a non-proofread, impulsive, unplanned piece of writing that did not at all go how I'd originally thought it'd go.

Summary: An accidental run in leads to an important conversation about a subject Lee had been avoiding since the war had finished.

Genre: Hurt/Comfort?

Pairing: LeeSaku if you squint

Disclaimer: no ownership of Naruto etc and also never finished shippuden so working off the wiki and what I remember of fandom of the timeee

“I hope you're actually doing okay.”

The sentence had caught him off guard, leaving him to turn and look at the other ninja.

He'd been training late, making one last lap around the village when he'd nearly ran into Sakura as she left the hospital for the night. Exchanging a quick apology, he'd brushed off her questions of how he'd been doing with a quick ‘Fine’ as he readied himself to continue his lap. He would've loved to spend hours talking with her, but he had to keep to his training so as to not shirk his duties.

But, as he'd readied to continue on, Sakura’s words had stopped him.

… He was doing okay… wasn't he?

Letting out a nervous laugh, he rubbed at his neck absentmindedly.

“Of course I am, Sakura! I'm in top shape!” He announced proudly, making an attempt to hide his hesitation. However, even he could tell his usual enthusiasm wasn't present in his voice.

As he watched her, he noted the way her brows knit together, the way her eyes crinkled a bit as she frowned. If anything, it had caught him even more off guard. As he was about to speak, ask if perhaps she was alright, she broke his train of thought as she spoke up.

“Dammit, Lee… you know that's not what I meant.” Even as she closed her eyes in what he'd imagined to be frustration, he couldn't find it in himself to really think about the answer she seemed to want. He couldn't help it as his body slumped slightly, a faint sense of guilt settling in himself for…. lying? Was he lying when he had said he was okay?

Averting his eyes, he had missed Sakura’s movements as she moved closer to him, hesitantly reaching for his hand.

“Lee… come with me right now. There's… something I want to talk to you about.”

Were this any other time, he was certain he'd be over the moon. Sakura? Asking to talk to him and take his hand? The thought was something he'd dreamt about for years. However, with the way their conversation had been going, he felt the usual sparks inside him simmer as a feeling a dread grew within him.

Closing the distance between his and Sakura’s hands, he popped on a big smile. “Lead the way, Sakura!”

He was still elated at the contact, but he couldn't ignore the way Sakura’s frown stayed in place as she sighed, little reaction from her otherwise but a secure squeeze around his hand as she started on a slow walk in some direction.

Whatever it was Sakura intended to talk to him about, she didn't elaborate on it during their walk, leaving an almost uncomfortable silences to settle in between them had it not been for the chirps of crickets around them. As they continued on, Lee’s apprehension of the future conversation grew. He thought of situations where Sakura announced she was leaving Konoha, where she had some important mission that she'd never return from, or if she was sick. There were also the thoughts that nagged at him about what if something had happened to one of their friends and he'd been left out of the loop or other such disastrous situations his brain built in the silence.

Finally, after what seemed to have been a long, arduous walk- which, in reality, had only taken under ten minutes- they'd finally stopped to sit at some bench on a road he'd passed by plenty of times during his training. He couldn't tell if he was relieved or not as dread continued to build in him as Sakura brought her hand back to herself to sit in her lap, leaving him to nervously clutch his thighs as he awaited whatever news he was sure she was going to deliver. After a few more moments of silence, Sakura turned to face him, causing him to straighten his back in response.

“Lee… we really need to talk about… Neji and Guy…”

Ah.

That's what this was about.

Resisting the urge to bite his lip in response, Lee averted his eyes once more focusing on the cracks in the stone road before them.

“What about them? Guy is recovering and Neji has been… has been laid to rest.” He hadn't expected it to be so hard to talk all of a sudden, but he felt like if he had been looking at Sakura, he wouldn't have been able to speak at all.

“That's exactly the point, Lee, what about them? How are you feeling about all of this?” He noted the concern in her voice as she spoke up, bringing his hands together in front of him as he absentmindedly rolled his thumbs around each other.

He had to think about it for a second, trying to compile his thoughts into a proper sentence even as he felt Sakura’s expectant eyes on him.

“... I guess… I guess I'm feeling how you'd expect? I miss training with Guy-Sensei and I miss… N-... Ne-” having thought out his response beforehand, he was struggling to understand just why he was finding it so hard to talk together, not even noticing how his hands clenched together tightly as he continued staring at the ground. He bit his lip, ashamed, he thought, about being unable to answer as simple a question as ‘how was he feeling?’

When he felt arms encircling him all of a sudden, he looked over in surprise to Sakura as she leaned her head on his shoulder. His hands had even loosened their grip on each other in response to the shock.

“Lee… I know… we all miss Neji.” As she said that, she gave him a tight squeeze that left him holding his breath. He couldn't tell if it was from the fact it was her hugging him or if it was due to what she said, but he found it difficult to breathe even as she pulled away ever so slightly to try and look at him. “But we're all also worried about you. You were teammates… I can't even say I know what it feels like even if I want to say I do.

“And… because of that I just want to make sure you're okay. No ones seen or heard you talk about this with anyone… When… Sasuke left, I had Ino and the rest of our friends to talk to, but… I asked Tenten and she says you haven't talked to her about any of this.”

He couldn't deny that, and he couldn't stop the way his eyes grew blurry as he tried not to blink. If he blinked, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to stop the onslaught of thoughts and emotions that were threatening to spill out.

“Guy-Sensei said… not to cry when Ne-Neji die--died… To remember what he'd e-entrusted to us, instea-ad…” He was shaking now as he but his lip, struggling to speak evenly while his brows scrunched together as he desperately tried to hold back the tears building up in his eyes.

“Lee… it's okay to cry… This… This is a tough thing to handle…” As she spoke, he noticed the way her voice quivered too, but the reassurance of her words and the arms around him left his defense crumbling as he bent over, leaning his arms on his legs and burying his face in his hands. He hated the tears that started to fall as he shuddered and tried to hold back sobs.

As he cried, Sakura tightening the hug around him, he felt her start to shake herself as he finally let himself say what was on his mind.

He missed Neji, he hated having not been able to do anything to save him, he blamed himself for his death and Guy-Sensei’s injuries despite there having been nothing he could do, and he just wished things would've gone differently.

As this went on for who knows how long, he leaned more and more into Sakura’s hold, leaning against her as he finally wrapped his arms around her too.

He wasn't sure the last time he had cried -had allowed himself to cry- but, as his cries finally started to slow and his breathing started evening out, he couldn't deny the difference he felt within himself. Something felt lighter, if even only slightly.

Continuing to lean into Sakura’s hold, he was almost ready to fall asleep, having not noticed the way Sakura had started to run her hand over his head until just now as he reveled in the peace it instilled in him after this ordeal.

Despite his desire to stay like that for as long as Sakura would allow, he had to force himself to pull away from her comforting hold. It was late when they'd run into each other and who knows how late it was now after all of that. She was bound to have another shift at the hospital in the morning and he knew she needed all the sleep she could get.

So, slowly, he worked his way away from her, not quite straightening himself as he stared at her as he stewed over his thoughts. After all, after something like this, how did you address it? Did you say a simple ‘good night’ before parting ways?

Even as he thought in silence, Sakura just left him be, a faint questioning look on her equally tear stricken face. He wished he could have comforted her the way she had for him just now, but he was thankful for the time to collect himself

“I… thank you, Sakura. I think… I really needed that.” It was simple and not all of what he'd wanted to say in thanks, but, as the turbulence of the situation left him drained, it was all his tired mind could put together to form a half decent thanks in response to her actions.

“It's no problem, Lee. Just… in the future, if you ever need someone to talk to, know that me and the others are always there for you, alright?” Taking one of his hands in hers again and giving it a reassuring squeeze, she smiled faintly even as her brows turned up in concern.

At her words, he fought down the resurgence of his swaying emotions. He had focused so hard on ignoring the whole thing, he'd in turn ignored his friends as they tried to address the situation.

Nodding as he wiped at his eyes, hoping to clear the last of whatever tears were leftover after that bout of crying, and smiled faintly.

“Okay… the next time I feel like this I… I will come to you instead of ignoring it like I have been.” Those words had been hard to say, but the way Sakura smiled at him in response, it seemed worth the struggle.

“Thank you, Sakura… For all of this…”

“It's no problem, Lee. I'm just glad you’re feeling better.”

And so, as they said their goodbyes and decided to meet up again in a few days to talk about some more things, Lee couldn't help the ever growing admiration and gratefulness he'd had for Sakura and his friends. Truly, he would have to find a way to properly repay her someday.

And, perhaps, a start on that repayment could be an honest response to her questions of how he was doing.

Courtney Williams is showing the WNBA how to let loose

Few people saw Courtney Williams coming. Now she’s bending the WNBA to her joy.

On August 23, 2018, Courtney Williams had the audacity to rankle the GOAT.

Before the Connecticut Sun played the Phoenix Mercury in the playoffs, the slim, 5’8 guard posted her traditional gameday Instagram photo. In it, she is jumping for joy while a stone-faced Diana Taurasi — arguably the greatest WNBA player of all time — stalks the court in the foreground. The caption read, “Gooo timeee!! Playoffs babyyyyy.”

Williams led the Sun with 27 points in the single-elimination game, and gave them the lead late in the fourth quarter with a four-point play. The Sun would only score four more points over the final four-plus minutes, however, as the Mercury went on to win, 96-86. After the game, Taurasi clapped back.

“You can post Instagram pictures, you can clap in people’s faces,” Taurasi told ESPN’s Holly Rowe in the postgame interview, also referring to a moment when the Sun’s Jasmine Thomas clapped in Taurasi’s face after drawing a foul. “That’s not going to get you a win, though.”

Throughout Williams’ three seasons in the WNBA, she’s managed to fly under the national radar. If you’ve missed her career thus far, maybe you even think that calling out the biggest name in the game was an attempt to draw attention. But you’d be wrong; Williams wasn’t trying to get under Taurasi’s skin (though perhaps she wasn’t not trying).

The way Williams sees it, posting the photo wasn’t a personal dig at Taurasi. It was a good photo, she says, and Taurasi just happened to be in it. It could have been any Phoenix player, really, she swears.

Or maybe it was personal, though not against Taurasi (or any other player). You see, Williams actually began her career in Phoenix, but was traded halfway through her rookie season. “It’s always a little chip on my shoulder every time we play Phoenix, I want to come out and show what I can do because clearly I wasn’t given an opportunity to do that over there,” Williams says.

Whatever it was, and whatever it appeared to be to fans who were watching, Williams’ firm stance is Taurasi’s response was “mad corny.”

“They was breathing hard!” she says. “You all” — referring to Phoenix — “barely won that game.” If she sounds like she’s talking trash, she definitely is. Running her mouth could have consequences for a young player like her, but Williams isn’t concerned.

She thinks beefing is good for the game, that it will bring attention and interest to a league which could use more of it. She wants to see more trash talking, and despite her characterization of Taurasi’s clapback, Williams respects the fact she went there. “A lot more people need to … open up their mouth and not be scared to speak up, because people like adversity, people like drama.”

She also sees a double standard in the way player beef is handled in the men’s game compared to the women’s, and she’d like to lead change by example. “Let any type of altercation happen in the NBA, it’s front row and center. But any altercation happen in the WNBA, it’s like, nobody better talk about that,” she says.

“We can’t talk about that because women aren’t supposed to act like that.”

Williams has never been one to pay attention to what other people think she’s supposed to do.

Courtney Williams, left, celebrating a win over the Phoenix Mercury with teammate Jasmine Thomas in July, 2018.

On the day I meet Williams, I watch her warm up at a practice during Sun training camp, where she moves at her own speed through drills and sprints, a little slower than some of her teammates. Williams looks a bit like Samira Wiley but with tattoos and a slightly butcher swag, and if Wiley had a buttery Georgia drawl and could sink threes from anywhere on the floor. She wears tennis ball-yellow sneakers on the court, but when I see her outside the locker room she has switched into a pair of khaki-colored Yeezy Boost 350s. She pairs them with black Adidas track pants, a Sun quarter-zip pullover, a camo hat cocked backwards and slightly sideways atop her tight cropped curls with bleached ends, and a fanny pack worn cross-body — strap in front, pouch in back.

There is an looseness about Williams. She says “fact” when you say something she agrees with or make a good point, which I like; it makes me feel like I’ve earned her approval.

Her frame makes her an unassuming presence on the basketball court, and she grew up in Folkston, Georgia, a town of less than 5,000 people located just over the Florida border, too far out of the way for many college recruiters. As a result, Williams was underestimated out of high school. She’s gotten used to that. No one has ever seen her coming.

“From a young age, Courtney said that this is what she was going to do [play in the WNBA],” says Michele Williams Daniels, Courtney’s mother, from Folkston. “And she did it, and … there was nobody to lead the way. There has never been nobody to come out of Folkston for basketball, [boys or girls], and she did it. To go play to a Division I school and definitely not to be drafted in no first round.”

Williams is hard to find even on her home court. Uncasville, Connecticut, is home to the Mohegan reservation and the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino, an edifice of over-the-top maximalism doing its best Las Vegas impression that also houses the Sun. The entrance to the Mohegan Sun Arena is sandwiched between a Le Creuset store and blinking, chirping slot machines.

“Let any type of altercation happen in the NBA, it’s front row and center. But any altercation happen in the WNBA, it’s like, nobody better talk about that.”

But once inside, Williams gets the loudest cheers. “She has an uncanny way of having people gravitate to her, from teammates to fans,” says Sun coach Curt Miller. “She’s our most popular player and she gets the [biggest] applause of anyone on our team.” When the crowd screams for her, she flashes a smile bright enough to be seen from the nosebleeds.

Williams’ game is predicated on catching people off guard. She’s quick and can create shots from anywhere on the floor. “Just the fact that she’s able to fill up a stat sheet with that small body is amazing, and it’s not just points. It’s rebounds, it’s steals, it’s assists,” says her teammate, veteran guard Jasmine Thomas. “You see that small frame and you just don’t realize how big she plays.”

She believes she can do anything on the court and she can, thanks in part to her vertical leap. “Yup, I got hops,” Williams laughs. Despite her small stature, she is unfazed by the height of centers — who often have almost a foot on her — because of her ability to get up and over them. It seems physically impossible that someone of her size should be able to jump as high as she does and yet, up she goes.

In that playoff loss to Phoenix, Miller says Williams “put us on her back for a lot of that game.”

“We didn’t get to the finish line, but she willed us at times to almost a really, really important victory over a team that has two of the best who have ever played this game in their positions,” he adds. “She went toe-to-toe with Taurasi and Griner.”

The late-to-the-party internet took notice of the performance, too. The Ringer’s Shea Serrano, who was rooting for the Mercury, tweeted, “WHO IS [COURTNEY] WILLIAMS AND WHY IS SHE RUINING MY LIFE.”

Williams’ social media feeds, especially her Instagram, are true to her. She doesn’t produce content that a more polished, branded public figure might. Instead, she presents a mix of outfits (“That’s what the people want … I’m easily best dressed in the WNBA.”), family, and basketball. She’s been told to watch what she posts, because as a professional athlete, she’s supposed to be a role model. A parent told Miller she won’t let her daughter follow Williams on Instagram because of the content. Miller says that becoming a pro “off the court” is the next step in Williams’ development as a player.

At the crib, so I had to pull out some heattttt It’s going up tonight in the Land

A post shared by Courtney Williams (@courtneywilliams10) on Dec 29, 2018 at 2:36pm PST

But Williams thinks that’s nonsense. She concedes that sometimes she posts stories of herself doing shots of alcohol. And she admits there are plenty of videos of girls twerking. And, oh yeah, there were all the strippers she liked to post when she first made it into the league (“I was living my best life!”). But, like Tupac, “I want to be a real model, not a role model,” she says. “I want people to love the real me. I like to turn up, I like to go to parties, I like to kick it with my nephew. I like different clothes. I love playing basketball.”

Part of being a “real model” is being openly and visibly queer, though she’s adamant that she doesn’t want to be “put in a box.”

Williams had a more traditionally feminine style when she was in college, which included long hair, and she wore a dress and heels to the draft. After the 2017 season, she did a big chop, taking out her weave and going natural. Her style — her “swag” — took on a more traditionally masculine presentation. Williams describes herself as dressing “like a little boy.” That presentation is important to her. At the same time, she also feels like people assume her orientation because of the way she presents.

“I still like dudes, but I got to wear a skirt because I like dudes?” she says, adding that she’s thinking about bringing back the long hair, just to throw everyone off their game.

“I like guys and I like girls, though these days I’ve been feeling more gay,” she says. “Whoever sweeps me off my feet is who I rock with.”

As a child, Courtney slept with a basketball and told her parents that she wanted to play in the WNBA one day. “She’s from a small town, but she thinks big,” Daniels says. Courtney’s hypercompetitive father Don modeled his parenting after Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena. His two daughters, Courtney and her older sister Doniece, never took to tennis, but Don adapted to their interests. Doniece preferred to play indoors, but Courtney wanted to play ball.

There was a hoop outside their home, and when Courtney was mad, she’d go outside and shoot. Together, she and Don took on the neighborhood, challenging everyone to play. Courtney inherited her dad’s competitive spirit — she wants to win whether she’s playing ball, checkers, or Monopoly — but more than that, she loves the game. “I enjoy myself every time I play basketball,” she says. “I would still be playing ball whether I was being paid for it or not.”

She learned just how much the sport meant to her when Don wouldn’t let her play her sophomore year at Charlton County High School. She was sneaking out of windows late at night to meet up with a local boy who Don thought was trouble. Don was adamant that nothing ruin Williams’ chance at a future in basketball.

“I was so mad at him,” Williams says. Though her mom lessened the sting by letting her continue to play AAU ball, Don says he’d do it all over again.

Williams came back to the team her junior year and scored 42 points in a game, breaking the single-game record that stood for 22 years — a record that had been held by her mother. She quickly broke the record again, scoring 44. She would go on to score more than 27 points a game her senior season, and yet Williams was never a top-100 recruit in high school.

“I remember when she was a senior in high school, she took her little school who never wins anything to the state semifinals,” says Kenny Kallina, who coached Williams on the Florida Girls Basketball travel team. She dropped 47 points in the quarterfinals and was named first-team all-state, and yet she was left out of the senior all-star game for the state of Georgia. Kallina says he “raised a bunch of hell” about her omission but still couldn’t get her in the game. She went to elite camps at Georgia Tech and Auburn, and was MVP of both, yet neither school offered her because, Kallina says, they were too busy chasing players with more hype. “I was convinced that she was going to be really good the second I saw her,” Kallina says. “I don’t know why I was the only person who really thought that.”

Only one school made the trip to Folkston and saw her for who she was. Her drive and determination impressed University of South Florida coach Jose Fernandez. “I always thought Courtney’s best basketball was ahead of her,” he says. Williams committed to USF because of the fact the school worked so hard to woo her when no one else would. “That dude,” Don says of Fernandez, “he had to have [felt like he] found the pot of gold.”

In college, she introduced herself in person to fans in Connecticut who would soon be cheering for her on the Sun. Playing for USF, she was in the AAC Conference with UConn, and torched one the most dominant basketball dynasties of all time. Only Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins and Louisville’s Angel McCoughtry, both legends, recorded as many 20-point games against the Huskies in their careers. Williams also helped propel USF to just their second NCAA tournament appearance during her freshman year, then took the Bulls back to the tournament as a junior and senior.

“She was able to catch and shoot quickly, she was able to catch and go by you,” says Geno Auriemma, head coach of UConn women’s basketball. “She could hit pull-ups, she could hit threes, go right or go left. She was just a really difficult match up for anybody and I don’t think there’s anybody in college who really had an answer for her on a regular basis.”

Williams was rewarded for her collegiate success by being drafted eighth overall by the Phoenix Mercury, making her the highest draft pick in USF’s program history, and it seemed like she might finally receive her long overdue recognition. But after appearing in only six games with the Mercury, in which she averaged just over four minutes of play and less than one point per game, Phoenix was ready to let her go.

While walking through Times Square with two friends who had come to New York to see her play, Williams got a call from Mercury coach Sandy Brondello with the “good news” that she had been traded to Connecticut. “I didn’t know how I felt. I think my heart dropped but it dropped more of excitement,” Williams says. “I was soaking in as much as I could from all the great players over there [in Phoenix] but at the end of the day, we all want to play basketball. No one want to ride no bench so, you know, I felt like I get to start all over again.”

Phoenix lost sight of her potential. Luckily, someone else didn’t. Williams made such an impression on Auriemma in college that he lobbied the Sun behind the scenes to take a chance on her. He felt that perhaps the Mercury drafted Williams thinking that she was a point guard. Auriemma saw her as someone who simply went out and got points. “I said, [to Miller], ‘If that’s what you need her for, to go get the ball and go score, then she’s going to do that. There’s nobody that I know that can stop her from doing that.’”

What Williams did to UConn, she now does to the Sun’s opponents. Her history in Connecticut made her an instant hit at Mohegan Sun Arena, and she met that excitement. The Sun were 3-12 when they traded for her at the end of June 2016, and they finished that season by going 11-8. She gave the Sun 8.1 points per game as an off-the-bench, microwave scorer, and buoyed a struggling team with her energy.

In 2017, Williams stepped into the starting role when then-teammate Alex Bentley went to represent Belarus in the Euro Championships. But just a year into her time on the Sun, her place in the WNBA was challenged yet again.

“I want to be a real model, not a role model ... I want people to love the real me.

Bentley was traded to the Atlanta Dream in the midst of the 2018 season among vague and cryptic headlines about an “altercation” with Williams. The incident kept Williams away from the team and off the court for four games. Whether that time away was a personal or team decision is unclear. Williams wants to talk about what happened, but the team asked her not to (“See what I’m trying to tell you?” she shakes her head. “They keep everything on the hush.”) Sun vice president Amber Cox will only say “sometimes for team chemistry reasons, you have to make a change.”

The fact the Sun stuck with Williams after the Bentley incident is a testament to not only her skill, but her personality. Sports teams and leagues generally don’t like iconoclasts. Life is usually easier as a player who performs well on the court but doesn’t make waves off of it. But to Williams’ benefit, the Sun have let her shine exactly as she is.

For example, the Sun filmed a series videos for game breaks during the upcoming season that feature Williams teaching Coach Miller the meanings of some of her colloquialisms. In one, she explains him what it means to be “snatched.” It means “to look good,” just like Williams knows she always does. They’ve even begun selling t-shirts with her face on them.

The Sun may occasionally suggest that she clean up her social media accounts — but it’s just a suggestion.

“If she’s not [an integral part to this team], then we’re not as good as we could be,” says Miller. “I just think she has the ability to be a leading scorer on our team, a leader on and off the court.”

If anything, Williams has been a unifier for the Sun. “I’m really glad you’re writing this,” Thomas tells me. “She was in the headlines for other reasons last year” — the Bentley situation — “and I don’t want people to think that’s who she is.”

Courtney Williams in a huddle with Sun teammates at home against the Mercury in July, 2018.

The decision to trade Bentley and keep Williams was “absolutely” a “commitment to Courtney as part of this franchise,” says Cox. “I think our commitment to this group” — Williams, Morgan Tuck, Rachel Banham, Jonquel Jones — “is giving them the opportunity to take this next step together and Courtney is obviously a big part of that.” Courtney admits that being forced away from her team during the season was tough.

“When anything happens on the team that causes some sort of controversy, you know, it can kind of be a disconnect with the team,” she says. “When I came back I tried to just do what I do and keep good energy.”

And her teammates clearly value her presence. “I feel better when she’s on the court with me,” says Thomas. Miller calls her the team’s “energy,” though he laughs and says that asking what she brings to the team is “a loaded question.” But he says that people love to play with her and that she’s never in a bad mood. Tuck says the same thing: she’s never seen Williams show up to practice down or upset. She lifts everyone else up when she walks into a room.

Her father calls Williams “my secret weapon.” The Sun say she is theirs, too. And even for all of her confidence and swagger, there’s humility at the core of Williams. When she finds out that this story is not an assignment I’ve been given, but one I had been planning since the end of last season, she’s a bit incredulous.

“Why you wanna talk to me?” she asks.

Why wouldn’t I want to talk to her? I first saw Williams play in person in July last season against the New York Liberty, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She seemed to be everywhere all at once, the ball perpetually sailing from her hands into the basket. Her game seemed implausible; someone so small shouldn’t be physically able to take up so much space. She radiated joy. She scored 16 points but it felt like 30. I did not know at the time that it was her first game back following the Bentley incident.

It was a game where Williams again had something to prove, like she’s had so many other times throughout her career. She wanted to show the team that stood by her that they made the right choice.

In turn, she wants to see all levels of the game encourage players to be themselves, to find the support she’s found in Connecticut.

“You need to fit a certain type of image when you’re in college,” she says, referring to the pressure to conform to more traditionally feminine ideals. “Your coaches and stuff tell you that, too … At the end of the day, though, you’ve got to let these girls do them.”

Courtney Williams with teammates against the Chicago Sky in August, 2018.

Williams’ favorite restaurant is Arooga’s, a Friday’s-esque establishment just outside of the Mohegan Sun Casino, though she admits her options are limited in Uncasville. It’s where she comes after every game. We go for lunch following practice, and she stops to greet a fan who recognizes her. Williams is working through her food — buffalo wings (all flats, medium sauce), fries, and a mango Arooga-rita with sugar on the rim — when she turns around to the two men sitting in the booth behind us.

“Can you name any WNBA teams?” she asks them. They do not seem to know who she is.

Both shake their heads, no.

“What about NBA? Can you name three NBA teams?”

The men, who admit they don’t watch basketball at all, can.

“See?” She turns back around to face me. “That’s what I mean.”

If it were up to Williams, the WNBA would lower the rim so that players could dunk. It’s a controversial take, one that a lot of players vehemently disagree with. But Williams thinks that allowing the athletes to play above the rim would go a long way towards increasing interest in the league. She points out that if you ask a member of the general public to name a WNBA player, they might name Lisa Leslie.

“How long ago that was and that’s the only WNBA player you can name is Lisa Leslie? And it’s because why? It’s because she was the first woman to dunk a basketball. That’s why you know Lisa Leslie.” Same goes for her Sun teammate, Jonquel Jones, who dunked in the 2017 WNBA All-Star Game and then was the SportsCenter No. 1 highlight all week.

She points out that many other sports make concessions for the differences in men’s and women’s bodies: the net in volleyball is lower, and even the ball is smaller in the WNBA. “It’s like, we want that [the rim height] to be equal, but why?” While the centers, who are much taller than the average player, may be able to dunk, the truth is that the majority of the league’s players will never be able to do it.

She often punctuates her more controversial opinions with the acknowledgment that “the vets” — an unnamed group of league veterans — wouldn’t like to hear her say these things. She doesn’t care. While many in the league might disagree, who better to forge an unconventional path forward than a player who has spent most of her life being overlooked?

Williams, by the sheer force of her personality and talent, is on a trajectory to stardom. She has weathered everything that might have knocked her off course, and never once had to sacrifice who she is in the process.

She has every reason to be confident, and her time with the Sun has proven being bold can be infectious. If Williams does one day remodel the WNBA, it could only be exactly in her image: brash, fun, and inclusive. Williams would be the vanguard to a league unafraid to celebrate no matter who wanders into the picture.
