#i will dier on this hill

[narvana27]

When I am telling you Xiaolin Showdown had INSANE impact on my life, you are not capable of understanding how big it was and still is.

Example #1: When I was little I had a special dance routine I danced when the theme song was playing & one time my sister was watching me doing that through the key hole and she was ofc making fun of me for that xD

Example #2: To THIS DAY whenever I touch something at the same time someone else does I say "Gon gi tan pai!". If they know, they know. 🫡🤫

Example #3: There's no such a thing to me like four elements that includes "air" instead of wind. No. That's simply incorrect in my book and it doesn't make any sense either. It's wind that creates huricanes, sea storms, cyclones etc. Not clear air. We breathe with air and not wind, JEEZ 🙄.

Example #4:  I started to love Brazil and I was and still kind of am obsessed 😅. I was reading about it from my atlas book and I even have a brazil scarf in my room. Fun fact: My sister exchanged our local football club scarf for that xD 😂

Example #5:  In one episode that I dont remember which one it was, Clay said something like: "Did anyone saw our little genius and his flying witch?" (I translated it exactly how I remember it from the polish version) and I used this exact phrase when my sister and dad went somewhere together and my mom was laughing so hard at it xD She ofc later repeated that story to them and they were like 🤨🤨🤨

Exampe #6: Even my older sister who wasn't necessarily watching this show with me knew enough about it to answer "Omi" when I asked her who she thinks became a leader. That's how obsessed I was (and still am). 🩵

[icedille]

i think part of the reason why you don't see a lot of criticism of the substance is that it spells out its points in such a painfully obvious way that a lot of people are scared to look stupid for not getting it. not saying that anyone is pretending to have liked it but when the messaging is so explicit it's very very easy to focus on that and forget about the parts that didn't work as well. just tell yourself "oh it must make sense somehow" and move on. not me tho i'm a hater at heart and a professional hill dier this movie was NOT as genius and groundbreaking as a lot of you are saying and you can't just handwave bad filmmaking with "but it's satireeee it's camp omg it's terribly paced and condescending on PURPOSE" <3

This is a novel I wrote over the course of about 15 years, and is the kind of strange tale that I have always loved.

This story involves two groups of people who believe they know what happened to a strangely fated family who lived on Deer Hill, outside the fictional town of Wickersfeld PA, back in the 1880’s.  The two groups get together with a horror novelist – Daniel Westforth Whittier – over a period of days to share their stories and experiences, as they believe he may be the one person they know who might believe them!

In this first volume, the first group come to the novelist’s house – Whispering Eaves – on Deer Hill, and tell him – and his life-partner Rosalind; who has heard all kinds of stories about the Dier since marrying into the Whittier family – what they believe they know and have found out about ‘the Dier.’

… Daniel and Rosalind soon realize they are getting much more than they bargained for when they agreed to hear all of these tales!

Volume I is available from the publisher (best price):

[emwritesfootball]

favourite rom-com? tough to choose but maybe notting hill or hitch!

I've actually never seen either of those (oops) but Notting Hill always makes me think of Eric Dier (it's either him or Winks lol) because he said once that it was his favourite movie.

I definitely need to see Hitch, but based off the summary, I could totally see someone like Tyrone or Joe Gomez (or maybe even VVD? Definitely someone who seems to have their life together) as Hitch, with them mentoring one of the younger players on how to get a woman to fall in love with them lol

[archetypal-archivist]

This explains, just... So much about BHH's interactions with other streamers. He gets into some many random arguments and stupid fights and he always picks the weirdest hills to die on. Literally so many of his chats with Foolish are like this and Foolish almost never wins, lmao. And now I know why! Bad is a professional hill-dier! He finds his hill, stakes his claim, and proceeds to massacre himself and everyone around him via dumb arguments in the name of the bit.

I love Badboyhalo, seriously. This is so funny.

Dear (new) BBH viewers,

I have an announcement!

As someone who still watches it on the regular, I feel like it's my obligation to inform you about the existence of

THE WEIRDEST TALK SHOW

BBH used to do this debate-/talkshow on the radiostation "OnlyHit US", hosted by youtuber/streamer A6D. It was the greatest thing, and I miss it so very much.

The premise was: a random, (often very dumb) topic would be chosen, and BBH would debate random guests. Also they wouldn't get to choose which position they'd defend. Who would be in favour, and who would be against was completely random and decided with a coin flip.

And we're talking about debate topics such as

Should everyone wear a fursuit 24/7

Should public romance be banned

Should everyone be forced to shave their head

These shows were always so much fun, and I feel like more people should know about it.

So hereby, I share with you my favourite episode: "Videogames are for 18+ years and +", which is BBH vs Skeppy

If this hasn't convinced you to watch it yet, I also want to inform you that many of the debates shows feature a Rat Cam (BBH's dog). It's lovely. Go watch it. Tell me what u think :]]

the more i think about tumblr university as an Actual Thing the funnier it gets. janitorial budgets, school fundraisers, 30+ year old classic literature/studies degree holders and 30+ year old FanFiction Should Replace Classic Lit., Actually Hill-Diers beating the shit out of each other. daily

[offurywithin]

Malia never needed anyone in her corner. Since the day she turned; the day she threatened her family she only could count on herself. She didn’t want to feel small or vulnerable but when it came to Stiles she tended to lose all her senses. Enough to make her care. She was pathetic she was naive to believe he cared. When all the signs were written on the walls. He left Beacon Hills without a care. He left his best friend and yeah it may have been justify, due to the disagreement between Scott and Stiles; the one act of defiance, the one act that tore a line between two friends. But Malia she was naive and never lost faith in Stiles. 

He was the first person to make her feel seen, to feel normal even with her own abilities. He made her feel loved in more ways than one. And when he left it ripped her apart. Malia knew he disappeared on us; he gave up on her and the fight for what we felt for the other; the day he walked away from me. And Malia also knew the stories of what occurred between Scott and Stiles; and she felt for him. Believe it or not she understood why her ex abandoned them and left. Sometimes mistakes made; a friendship broken can’t be repaired; and Malia knew what the boy was up to since he left Beacon Hills due to his own father, the perks of the female working at the Sheriff station; Stiles and his dad was family. And even if our relationship ended on a dier note; she’d always care. And her giving retort and retort to knock senses into Stiles was simply who she was. She wasn’t one to run away; and she dug deep in order to stir a reaction from the male, but she didn’t expect the guilt trip; the way he mentioned her brief relationship with his best friend; granted Malia knew it was wrong; it was emotionless; it was to feel nothing, the numbness at the time. Not that she was going to admit it to Stiles now. Not after the low dig he sent her way. 

A roll of her eyes she pulled arms to cross over her lips. “ Don’t get your pants into a twist over it, You have no right to eye me over Scott, you left us, you left me far before he and I ever got together might I add, Not to mention you had your foot out the door every chance you could? Why? Because you hoped Lydia would want you, When I always did, but that’s a conversation for another time, I’m not going to hash out old issues; ones I forgave, maybe it’s time you do some forgiving.” She added in her sassy tone; one the male knew all too well. Again rolling her own eyes; the female had stepped forward preparing her assault, her dragging of Stiles through the door to get to the jeep not that Malia had any intention of harming him; she wouldn’t. She loved him too much. His idiot self. But she caught sight of the pause, the attention that was aimed at her at the mention of Allison. 

A loss, a friend that was taken from us; and now she was haunting our every move. Swallowing the lump in her throat the female had stepped forward as she decided to help with his bag if he wanted. “ Now that I have your attention, Scott has been having dreams of her; and we found out the Nogitsune has a hold on her, she’s been in limo this whole time. Scott is hatching a plan, and I have one of my own.” Stepping forward she for the first time placed a tender touch; a hand on his forearm, her eyes peeled to his own. “ My plan includes you.” It always had; despite our issues that were newly opening up now.

@nowwatchmequip

A place you once called home. For me it was a person. The one boy I had believed saw me, and loved me for who I was. I was far from perfect or normal. Considering I had killed my family when I was a wolf. I had flaws, I had the pressure of wanting to show remorse, I wanted to make amends for myself. Once I found out I was no other than Peter Hale’s daughter I felt the ground beneath me shatter. I felt like the walls were closing in. I was ashamed because I heard the stories he was seen as a monster. He was a killer by nature. And the last thing I ever wanted to do was be like him. I cared about people. Especially Stiles; he was the first boy I ever loved; he made me feel special and safe. For awhile it was a part of my life I wanted to hold onto. Until it was the part I wanted to erase. 

It wasn’t his fault or mine. We bonded on honesty; we had always turned to each other. Until I was no longer the girl he wanted at his side. It happened fast and all at once. It was a pain I had buried so deep I pretended it never existed. I had kept my distance, of course I helped out his dad at the station which meant I had a peace of him with me. I wanted to help, I knew I had the strength to make a difference when it counted. So I tried, but the impulse i had to travel miles at a time to get Stiles was called insanity. It had been years since we spoke one word to each other. Since we had even remotely wanted to talk. Did I miss him? Yeah not that I’d ever admit it. But he was someone I deeply loved; Someone I wanted to try to make amends with; or in our case face the music of that awkward conversation. My visit wasn’t about me. It was about him. He was the missing piece; Scott was on a death mission to save his true love from limbo; it made you think. 

So here I was; at the outside of his deep. Hands curled into fist; as I knocked on the door. I could only imagine the shock that Stiles felt when he heard my voice. I knew him; and I knew his clumsy self; when it surprising when I heard the wood knocking to the floor from behind this door. No absolutely not. 

I had to hold the laugh that dared to fall; instead I had kept knocking. Did I care if I woke up his stupid neighbors? No. I was a girl on a mission. This impossible mission of saving Allison from herself felt incomplete without him. So I was going against my own rules to forget him; to forget us. Sucking in a exhaled breath as I heard the locks of his door; which led to his reveal. The door edging open. I had to let my eyes rake over his frame, he was handsome, the short brunette locks, the FBi look good on him. If I wanted to tease him I could’ve but I had more pressing matters on my mind. 

“ Took you long enough, as for your neighbors do you think I care if I woke them up? No. Why didn’t you come to Beacon Hills when Scott called? I thought you’d never turn your back on him. “ Defiant in her voice as she pushed pass the male entering his apartment.

In The Shed

Random Eric imagine I thought of! Enjoy x  Word Count: 610  TAGLIST: @footballffbarbiex​ @lawsandother​ @henrythickcavill​ @footballxixstars​ @sanchos-dream​ @emwritesfootball​ @meteora-fc​ @pom277​ @kkim120​  “So this is where you’ve been hiding? I thought you were abandoning me, I was worried” you laughed as you stood at the door of his shed. “There isn’t many places I can be is there” Eric smirked. “Fine. What are you doing?” You asked him as he was just sitting in the shed. “Sitting” you rolled your eyes at his sarcastic reply. “Thanks for that. I was wondering is it too early for wine?” You asked him. “You are my kind of girl aren’t you, I picked a winner when it came to finding a girl right?” You laughed. “Thanks, I am guessing that’s a compliment right?” Eric smirked. “Always” he grabbed your waist. "Thanks babe, so wine and food? I am hungry" you smiled at him as he got to the fridge and opened the wine. "We've already had dinner, how are you so hungry again?" He asked. "Hmm, I dunno. I'm a growing girl what can we say? Or maybe I like food" you smirked. Eric laughed as he put a bowl of foods on the table. "Did you watch the live that me and Dele did?" You laughed. "Yes, why are you such an old man though" you laughed. "Why?" You did an impression of Eric as you put your phone to your face. "Shut it you" Eric pushes your shoulder. “Cheers babe, I am the same age as you. I am really not that old grandad am I” you rolled your eyes. “Yes you are baby. You call people bro too much also. But I love you still don’t worry” you smirked.  “So what film we putting on?” you asked as you got comfy in the corner of the sofa. “Notting Hill or Pretty Woman, take a pick please” he winks. “Really? again? how many more times are we going to watch this Eric” you rolled your eyes. “Shh as if you are actually complaining at me for watching something yet all you do is watch the same thing”  “You Mr Dier are doing my head in. I would rather you stayed sat in that fucking shed of yours” you rolled your eyes as you sipped your wine. “Oh really. You are a rude one tonight missy, someone piss you off by any chance” he raised his eyebrows. “No they didn’t, but that film annoys me so much” you moaned again.  “Are you sure you aren’t in a mood? what’s up babe?” he put his arms around you. “Nothing is wrong I promise. I am just a bit needy today and need cuddles” you pouted as Eric laughed.  “Promise me you will never change, I just love how honest you are and it makes me smile. I know you are so needy sometimes, but I like that about you. You know when you need space and when to give me mine. Usually when I am in the shed, but that is cool right” you smirked. “Yes I just miss you sweetie. I am so needy what is wrong with me. Maybe I need to go and get a shed, a girl shed would be cool” you laughed. “Oh to rival my shed that I think I remember you moaning about it very much. Hmm I am starting to feel a little questionable about this decision really this one right love” you rolled your eyes. “Fine I don’t want it babe. I will just have the whole house” you winked.  “Cheeky, now stop talking. We watch the movie, drink wine and have nibbles. Sound like a good idea? yes” you laughed and nodded as you cuddled closer up to Eric’s warm body. “yes fine” you laughed. 

[balenciagastones]

Who would you call up if you were Southgate?

okay well let me put me gaffers waistcoat on and let’s see what i can come up with ahahahaha

goalies:

jordan pickford (obvious choice, is a good tactical goalie but makes some errors, seems to be going down hill a bit but i still stand by him, one of our best choices)

dean henderson (young and one of the better english keepers atm especially for his age)

tom heaton (tbh he’d stay on the bench for me LMAO but he’s quite good and yeah, either him or nick pope)

centre backs:

harry maguire (can’t lie he is quite good, always gets involved, good at bossing people about, overall good on the pitch)

joe gomez (one of the better younger cbs we have, a lot of potential, a bit underrated tbf)

tyrone mings (not given enough time of day at england tbh especially for his age)

john stones (it’s just the confidence issue tbh, he’d probably end up on the bench but imagine this is in a few months time where he’s got his confidence back and he’s back at it, lovely stuff)

fikayo tomori (deserves more of a chance at england, definitely potential)

right backs:

trent alexander arnold (not much to say cos i don’t wanna lick his arse but he’s the best rb we have and obviously can’t make a team without him)

aaron wan bissaka (id give him the call up and give him a chance over trippier, he seems to be doing bits as of recent times and i think he deserves it)

left backs:

ben chilwell (always think he’s a good presence on the pitch tbh, does his job really well most of the time)

luke shaw (don’t rate him as a player that much but he’s young and has potential, would probably sit on my bench unless chilly was injured)

midfielders:

dele (without a doubt in my midfield, passionate, determined, livens up any pitch imo)

eric dier (very diverse defensive mid, can help out the back line if necessary, adds a bit of muscle and aggression to the pitch)

jordan henderson (good at bossing people about, good technically)

ruben loftus cheek (when he’s fit he’s amazing, obviously haven’t seen him for a while cos of the injury but still deserves a place on the team)

phil foden (one of the best if not the best youth player england has, give him a couple of years and he’ll be one of the best players england has ever produced, could learn a lot from joining the first team and i think he’s ready)

mason mount (extremely determined, his issue is with decision making and risk taking but definitely something he can improve on and be shooting them in left right and centre)

forwards:

harry kane (the skipper, obvious choice, doesn’t need an explanation)

marcus rashford (been unfortunate with injuries recently but he’s a good playmaker and has proved himself)

raheem sterling (seems to have lost passion a little bit but once he finds it again he’ll be back on prime form and unstoppable)

tammy abraham (big lanky giant, gets around the defence easily and pings them in, easy choice for me)

dominic calvert lewin (id give him the call up because his past season was eye opening and showed what he could do, definitely getting towards country level standards once he’d had some experience on the bench lmao)

[leclerc-xo]

I was tagged by @oliolir to list my 6 top celebrity crushes. Surprisingly I have found this harder than I thought I would! So I’ve only picked 5 but I have gone for a mixture and not just footballers...

Zayn Malik

I have loved him since he looked like a little Meerkat when he first auditioned on The X Factor and just look at what he grew into! He can sing and he’s got that whole bad boy vibe going on. I love the tattoos and his eyes and those bloody eyelashes make me want to cry.

Paulo Gazzaniga

A newly acquainted love of mine. He’s tall (like 6ft 5 tall 🤤) dark and disgustingly handsome. Plus he’s Argentinian and sounds incredibly sexy when he speaks English and he looks like a damn model. Oh and his eyes crinkle when he smiles. AND he looks fucking sexy when he’s angry. He’s perfect, did you get that?

Alex Bowen

I mean can you just LOOK AT HIM. He appeared on Love Island in 2016 and it basically peaked when he entered because no-one has come close since. He’s an ex-scaffolder (I find workmen FIT) and he’s also quite good at football. He’s from Birmingham and he’s the only person who could ever make me find that attractive. His Instagram is a gift to us all tbh.

Chad Michael Murray

I have loved him since I was 13 and I will love him until I take my very last breath. He is the reason I had such unrealistic expectations when it came to boys as a teenager. He played Lucas Scott in One Tree Hill (the best TV show ever) and I was OBSESSED. He’s tall and got this whole Prince vibe going on and he’s still as fit now as he was back then.

Eric Dier

Ahhh Eric Dier. Is it possible to be in love with someone who you’ve never met? Because seriously, this guy. He’s tall, he’s blond and he’s got blue eyes. He can look like Prince Charming or a sexy mountain man. He’s big and strong and could probably chuck you over his shoulder with ease. He’s intelligent, bilingual and politically switched on but he’s also a goofball. I could go on and on about his arms, how broad his shoulders are, how he looks equally good in a suit AND trackies... I JUST FUCKING LOVE HIM.

I tag @yessdmnxix7 @dierdele @dancefairies @batjanvertonghen @sendinthehuskies @cefhclwords and anyone else who wants to do it!

Sunday 17th February 12:20am

I've not written in so long, I think I've tried to shove all the feelings I've felt right down this past week and a bit with medication and sleep. In a way I'm thankful our donor couldn't help this month because I was able to take my stronger tablets to help.

I tried to go down to the registrar office the other week to find out his exact day of death or the day they found him and a guess of when he killed himself but it would of cost and I didn't want to spend another penny on him. But part of me wishes I had just done it so I could of put it to rest a little bit more. But the Sunday 1 week ago, I just kinda felt empty all day, like I felt guilt still but then I felt anger, but then I felt upset then angry at myself then hatred, I was just feeling so much it all became a blur, I didn't sleep at all that night, I maybe got an hour or 2 once Atlanta came home. And then knowing that fucking valentines day was coming up too. That's now been 6 years and 3 days since I broke down and it all came spilling out. Part of me wishes I had just kept my mouth shut. Maybe it would of stopped? Conor said he hated him but was upset that he didn't get to say goodbye before he killed himself. Living with that guilt, it's like a constant weight on your shoulders, sometimes it lifts a bit when people help but no one can help enough to get it off. I try and tell people how I feel about it all but all I ever get is that it's in the past its happened, he's gone I'm safe and it wasn't ever my fault, he was a sadistic coward. But they don't know how it feels, so how can they tell me what to feel. That's why I just stay quiet and don't bring it up. I just feel stupid whenever I do. I've been feeling really strange in the flat recently, my nightmares are really really fucking bad rn, idk it's just every year since he killed himself around this time and the start of October I always feel something around that dosent feel good? Idk I'm probably just imaging stuff.

I checked my Facebook memories like I always do and it came up from a year ago that I posted all my photos from Uig. I don't have anywhere near half of them because Chris was in them and I don't want any memory of her. That was the best holiday/trip I've ever been on to date, I just hate how it was with her. Because I feel bad when I think about it or talk about it or look at the photos. It's just horrible how one of the best experiences of my life was with someone who I hate with everything I have. I miss the quiet, I miss disconnecting from the world turning my phone off and just taking in everything. Walking for miles no matter the weather, smiling and climbing hills, jumping over marshy bits to get to the other side of the hill. It was literally the trip of a lifetime. But it was ruined because of her. Speaking of her, a girl Atlanta works with plays rugby with her, she says Chris comes through to dundee to do stuff with them, I then found out my mum seen her and her dad in town about a month ago, since then I've been looking at UG and pouts photos to see, not seeing a photo makes me a little safer. But photos were posted and the alum was dated the 2nd of this month, just quickly looking and then I had to double check and it was. She actually has the balls to come through here to go out and go to a club what 2 weeks ago? And people wonder why I'm terrified of leaving the house, even Atlantas scared to go out at night because of her. And we still don't have a court date or any more information. I think that just annoys me more than anything how she is still living a life and playing rugby and going out with pals and going to the club whilst we are the ones terrified to be out because of her. Once again she gets everything. It seems to be that way with literally everything in life, it always seems like I'm the one who just gets shat on 24/7.

I keep trying to message my old friend, but there's nothing. I think the no replying and not knowing what I ever done is what's driving me crazy, well that and the fact I miss her like you couldn't even imagine. Somethings look up in life whilst others I'm still just trapped unable to move forward.

I just regret so much in life and just for once want something amazing to happen in my life...im so fucking dier

Her Majesty's Men 2 | Mason Mount

Word Count: 1,512

Warnings: mentions of drugs, but that's about it. An intro to the Men

- - -

Notting Hill, London, England

Declan double- and triple-checks the address that Mason sent him as he walks the streets of Notting Hill. It’s for a pub he’s never been to before, but he’s heard rumours about a secret underground club modeled after the American Prohibition Era that has exotic dancers.

“Dec! Hey!” Mason greets Declan the moment he walks into the pub. “How have you been?”

Declan shrugs, hating that he has to break the news to Mason like this. The two of them grew up at Chelsea’s Academy together, remaining friends even when Dec got let go. A few years later, Mason was let go, too, and the boy in front of him seems to be doing fairly well. “West Ham let me go last week.”

Mason curses, shaking his head. “I’m so sorry, mate. Can’t believe they can just let us go like we’re expendable.”

“Yeah.” Declan smiles ruefully, sighing. “I’m staying with my sister but I know she wants me to get a job - I want to get a job - but I don’t know where to start. I remember at that party last year with the rest of the Chelsea Dropouts where you mentioned something about working for the Queen and-” Declan pauses, confused as to why Mason is howling with laughter. “What’s so funny?”

“You think- ahaha - you think I work for the Queen?! Oh, my god!” Mason wipes tears of laughter from his eyes. “I guess you could say I work for Liz, but not in the way you think that I do…”

“Liz? You call the Queen by a nickname?!”

Mason snorts, the laughter threatening to return again. “How about I show you instead?” He looks at his watch, draining his beer, and Declan finds himself doing the same thing. “Follow me, Deccers.”

Declan follows, his mind slightly occupied with the fact that he saw Mason drop two £20 bills on two pints at the bar before walking away.

The rumours were true. Declan can’t figure out how he couldn’t hear the raucous laughter and thumping bass from the DJ in the booth. He’s pretty sure he recognizes the DJ, but he’s impossible to place from so far away. Instead, Declan focuses on Mason, watching as his ex-teammate weaves through the crowd. It’s all women, he realizes, but then someone slaps his ass as he walks past and he turns to find an older woman looking at him appreciatively.

“Are you one of them?” She asks, shouting over the music.

“Who?” Declan responds, confused.

Before she can reply, Declan feels Mason’s hand wrap around his wrist and pull him through a door. The music dampens, seeping through the door, but only to provide a backdrop. “Don’t stop for the vultures, mate. Although, I think that one’s more of a cougar than anything.” He laughs at his own joke, shaking his head.

“Hush! Like you haven’t thrown yourself to the cougars more times than any of us!” Jack Grealish’s Brummie accent gets Declan’s attention.

“Sod off!” Mason rolls his eyes, turning to Declan. “Don’t pay Jacky Boy any mind - he’s just here for the brainless hen party pussy. You might remember him from a couple friendlies between our academy teams, but I guarantee you that Jacky here probably doesn’t remember you; poor boy doesn’t even remember his own name half the time.”

Jack flips off Mason, but he keeps talking. “These are the lads that make up Her Majesty’s Men. We’re all football-academy rejects, so it’s like a family since we all know what the other’s been through. Stonesy - you’ll meet him in a bit - kinda brought us all together. It was pretty much his idea.”

Declan looks around the room, realizing where he is. The room looks like a changing room except instead of kits and boots and training gear, there’s costumes everywhere. A ratty futon that’s seen better days is against one of the walls; Jack ‘Jacky Boy’ Grealish sits on it, and something about the way he’s sitting on it tells Declan that the futon isn’t for anyone but the ex-Villa Academy player.

“Right. Anyway, this is Happy Ending Harry. Gave his youth to Tottenham, but she was a cruel mistress.” There’s a mirror with lightbulbs around it that looks like it was either stolen from Marilyn Monroe or a fifteen-year-old girl, Declan isn’t sure which. Harry Winks sits in front of the mirror, checking out his reflection as he puts on...blush? Declan wants to ask but can’t bring himself to form the words. Harry’s too lost in his own world to do much of anything, almost resembling a Ken doll in a way that both intrigues and intimidates Declan.

“Big Dick Dier. Loaned from Portugal to Everton, but you can see how that turned out. Man can speak at least two languages but there’s not a woman out there who cares about that once they catch a glimpse of what the Big Man is packing.” Eric Dier picks himself up off the floor after doing a round of push-ups, giving Declan a nod in greeting and going back to the sewing machine to work on… a g-string? Declan’s a little disgusted but he’s glad he’s not the one handling that. The man’s wide shoulders and large hands radiate Big Dick Energy and Declan would be lying to himself if he wasn’t at least a little curious to take a peek at that pecker.

“Last but not least: Tarzan Ty.” A man with dreads stands in one corner, stretching. He’s got tattoos and a massive scar on his knee that Declan’s curious about but knows better than to ask about. He looks familiar but he’s definitively older than the rest of the lads Declan has met so he’s not sure he recognizes him from any sort of training academy. Mason starts his introduction, but Ty cuts him off.

“Tyrone Mings,” he says, introducing himself for Declan. “Southampton Youth ‘til oh-nine. They let me go ‘cause I was too short - joke’s on them.” Ty laughs and Declan joins in. “Got a serious question,” he continues, shoving his non-scarred knee in Declan’s face. “That look ashy to you?”

“Uh…”

“Here,” Mason giggles, tossing him a bottle of what looks like self-tanner but Declan doesn’t question it, squirting out some of the lotion and preparing to massage it into Ty’s knee. It’s the oddest thing he’s done since being let go, but Declan just tells himself that he’s rubbed weirder substances on his own joints. He realizes that Mason was right - this place, this group of ex-footballers, really does feel like a family. He’s only been here a few minutes but already the camaraderie is there. Big Dick Dier teases Happy Ending Harry’s appearance like the two of them were teammates at Tottenham or something; Tarzan Ty has what appears to be a ritual, shoving Declan’s hands off his knee once he realizes the new boy was actually going to do it.

“So, here’s how it works. We do a group act first, then solos, followed by hot seats. If everything goes well, we get these birds all jacked up and then we raise the price of the hot seats so don’t fuck it all up for us, all right? That’s it, that’s all ya gotta do.” Declan tries to focus on what Mason is saying but it’s damn near impossible as he watches Eric stick his dick inside of the contraption and start to pump, his cock stretching to an absurd length. He quickly realizes that Eric’s got his dick inside a penis pump, watching as the big man’s already-big cock grows like the Grinch’s heart. Eric’s sporting the most insane look, his jaw slack but his eyes intense like he’s focused on something else, taking deep breaths as his cock stretches longer.

A voice entering the room cuts Mason off, the DJ coming into view. He’s speaking, but Declan can’t understand him. “This is Kyle, our DJ. Kyle, Deccers; Deccers, Kyle. He’s gonna be giving you the cue before each act.” Kyle hands Mase a water bottle filled with something and Mason’s eyes light up. “Pregame! That’s what I’m talking about!”

“It’s the love potion,” Kyle says in a weird voice, giving Declan a wide-eyed look.

“What is this? Strawberry?” Mason inspects it, pouring some of it into the cap and downing it.

“It’s a little mixture,” Kyle explains at Declan’s confused expression. “Got the recipe from a friend in Miami. He calls it Hey Juice.” Declan’s been around enough drugs to know that it’s GHB, but he keeps his mouth shut. “If you drink the whole bottle you’ll go ‘Hey!’” He flamboyantly sways and snaps his fingers. “You’re gonna like it, bro. Give it a sample.”

Declan holds up his hands, taking a step back. “I’m good, mate. Maybe tomorrow night?”

“That’s cool. More for me, I guess.” Mason shrugs, downing another cap.

The sounds of the crowd cheering start to seep through the walls, a man’s voice coming through too. “All right, all right, all right!”

“That’s Stonesy. Let’s get you ready.”
