#it was just a combination of hard work and alot of luck

[re-imagine]

My parents were very young when they had me and when they moved to the U.S. They didn't own a house yet. We lived in an apartment with 3 other families. The line to go to the bathroom was always long. I remember being 3 or 4 and having too many accidents because of it... I remember taking the bus and walking to school because we didn't have a car for a while. My dad entered work at 5am and worked until midnight. He got paid $5 an hour. My parents argued over money sometimes. Life wasn't overly difficult for us but it was different than what it is right now. It's just weird that my siblings don't know that other life our family had. My siblings NEVER had to experience our old way of life. I wish they did, it builds character lmao.

Now I have to work hard to make my parents proud and give them experiences they never had. Oh and I am forever the family translator (but I am slowly forgetting my first language and it sucks).

Raph is in the garage working on a motorcycle maintenance while talking to chat, his model is in ripped jeans, a white tank top, fingerless gloves, black boots, and his mask with a set of stars 'stitched' to the tails. His tail is sweeping across the floor behind him as he moves. River is grabbing tools that Raph needs.

Donnie was working on the turtle tank off screen, but he had to go get a missing part he needed. A Super Chat asked for any odd stories from their teens. Raph had to think about how to tell the story.

"Well, a few years back Pops was training us in 'Ninja Hide N' Seek' and part of this training was to take something from one of the guard dogs from this hotel in the city. We didn't think to hard on it at the time, but eventually we learned that the Hotel was owned by his Ex-Fiancee, and this was a small way to get back at her." Raph during this lifts the motorcycle with one hand to check the underside of the engine area. Before gently putting it back on the stand that was holding it up. "So we were sneakin' around her hotel lookin' for this guard dog, and not really hiding like ninja. I think at one point I was just holding a huge leaf in front of me to 'hide' myself. We were kinda stupid back then."

River comes over with cleaning rags, and a bottle of crome polish. "There is now alot of people spamming 'Ex-Fiancee' in the chat, I think you peeked their interest!"

Raph sigh, "I figured." He takes the rags and polish to clean and buff the crome, "Yeah, they hit it off in like the late 80s or early 90s, then shortly after Dad proposed things went... well, he doesn't like to talk about that time." Raph looks a bit troubled while saying this, "We know he got away, but it's not really clear when, or how he ended up a Single Father of Four. We just know he had a hard time adjusting to all these changes at once."

He pauses to take a closer look at a spot on the side of the bike.

"But hey, he did his best, and we came out pretty Okay. If a bit crazy." Raph does a bit of side eye, "Some more unhinged than others."

Right after he says this Donnie comes into frame carrying a huge chunk of metal, an engine block, and pulling a wagon full of random bits of junk.

"Red~ you would not believe the luck I had at the juckyard!" Donnie almost sings as he goes to put thinks down his tail visibly wagging happily, and a loud thunk of him putting the engine down nearby.

"Did you get attacked by Ms. Nubbins again?" Raph asks in amusement at how his brother is emoting.

"No, she had a vet visit today. I found not only what I needed, but also this!" Donnie pulls a box of Wrestling Action Figures that were in pretty good condition.

"Oh my gosh! Is that the first series GhostBear action figure that had to be pulled because the 'claws' were too sharp!?" Raph whisper shouts in excitement.

"The very one! He says with absolute certainty! Plus a number of other figures, but wrestling is more your thing, so I don't know who they all are." Donnie waves his hand in dismissal as Raph grabs the box, and carefully goes through them to check their conditions. "I'll leave you to that, chat be ready to get a bunch of info dumping about wrestlers once he finishes checking them over."

And as Donnie said, a good chuck of the rest of the stream was Raph cleaning up the action figures, talking about who they were, and random facts about them. Meanwhile Donnie continues to work in the background unintentionally showing off more of his strength while moving very heavy objects.

Chat is a mix of people listening to the info dump, and those who are still reeling from the casual moving of an engine block like it was a big microwave, and Raph moving the bike with one hand again to have more room to place the figures down as he talks.

Masterpost

I had these ideas pop into my head, and they made more sense to combine them than write them as separate posts.

[sofyflora98]

You dont have to answer if you dont want. But i stumbled upon an old post about Mu Qing up holding classism and that its Hua Cheng should be the face for it and i just felt conflicted? I tried to be open minded. And the big example they used is him kicking out of the army which imo kinda odd… to say.. But its combined with the fact Mu Qing called Hua Cheng a liar and he obviously didnt want Hua Cheng tagging along and he let Feng Xin with a broken arm carrying Hua Cheng . tbh, im fine with open intrepretation of that.

We all know Mu Qing doesnt have soft personality and hes prickly. I definitely do think in that liar scene, i saw it more as Mu Qing just being truthful than empathatic as he analyze the situation which i guess fine, MQ theres obviously time and place for that as hes scared and dirty. But even if his family condition was bad, based on how someone fixed up his clothes he could have thought he might at least have another person who does care which was why he even mentioned it in the first place. Anything is possible after all. Although, i did get confused whether did he know the info background on him because XL did overhear the mean things the kids yell at him about him being kicked our. Anyways, it wasnt as he was like no this kid cant stay. Unless theres a line that i missed. And he did try to carry Hong Er but hong er wouldnt let him which he did show hesitation to do it or not afterwards.

And how i view the army situation is even though it is indeed that youth dying rate is higher in war and Hua Cheng did die lol. But its also mixed with Mu Qing’s need to not want to be replaced. This man’s mind never rest lol. Which i get it. Hes very interesting for that. After all, his core character is all about being a survivor. But to say that he upholds classism is fucking deranged. Like Guoshi is right there for ruining his mortal life lol. Funny enough, they certainly dont mention about Feng xin (though hes in rage as Mq was frustrated and being rude with xl but still that was uncalled for) who reminded him to know his place. I brought FX up because in one of the comments of that post they were saying at least FX acted with good will. Lol okay. We definitely can see you not being genuine about the topic. At least be consistent.

And Hua Cheng beats classism by creating another system of his own? ive seen people say its different in ghost City as its really based on mutual beneficial agreement and all especially with Yin Yu. But my guy…. ..you mean him as the King? Bruh its not as simple as that 😭 The heaven is indeed full of classist Gods which is why they look down on LW and MQ and QYZ. But the system to get there isnt, as long as you have the abilities, hard work and luck. Idk like feel free to talk about Hua Cheng overcoming society classism and rise to the top and all. But i find that answer to be so simplisitic and not well thought out?

Also he isnt mentioned alot with that Topic because his narrative isnt strongly focused on that??? Its very clear hes about devotion to his God and the strength he does to be the best so he can take care of Xie Lian. And hes the main character too at that 😭 take it up with MXTX for making Mu Qing a side character, story to strongly ties around it. His insecurity is because of that too.

And the funniest part imo is to Hua Cheng, his insecurity is his appearance - i mean u can still make an argument that is rooted in him being born under a bad star and the classism that he faces over it. But still. Similar at its core but different hurt.

Anywyas, idk i feel the argument is just so???? I just need to rant lol

But how do you feel about the revision on him kicking out Hong’er because of guoshi words thaf hes a misfortune that will bring bad luck to XL? That i would like to know.

I think I know what post you're talking about, and I agree with you. The argument that Hua Cheng is the one who "fought" classism and that Mu Qing is upholding in it doesn't stand, in my opinion. First of all, because Hua Cheng's supposed victory over classism doesn't even take place in the world of the living, and Ghost City is everything but an egalitarian place. Which isn't his fault, of course, because a single person cannot change the world. Then, again, his plot in the novel doesn't mainly revolve around classism the same way Mu Qing's does. I'd say that his plot is more about marginalisation and abuse, even if social class was obviously a fundamental part of his condition.

Regarding Mu Qing, literally, unless he somehow became a revolutionary leader, what could he even do? He had one chance to get away from misery and he took it. Gods are not allowed to interfere with the mortal world more than what concerns their duties toward their worshippers. The heavens are a classist world, because they reflect the human world, since all gods used to be human, but I see no instance where Mu Qing even remotely upheld classism. A good part of his lines are specifically to complain about how others are classist, so it really doesn't make any sense. I think that the issue of Hong'er being kicked out of the army has an ambiguity, and the desire to keep a child (who by the way didn't have the age to be in the army) far from war, and his fear of being replaced and possible jealousy, coexist. Human emotions aren't a mono-dimensional thing.

I don't really have an opinion about the revised version, but having read the first version years ago, I'm more attached to it.

Hench Part One

particularlyY/N sat on the couch in the living room, under mountains and mountains of covers, her computer balanced on top as she tried to arrange her cart in a way that fit the remaining budget for the month. She was doing better than usual this month because her neighbor gave her $18 to water her plants while she was on vacation. 

She had just managed to fit a combination of ramen, frozen dinners and a whole frozen pizza that would last her family 2 days in her cart, as well as instant coffee: a luxury she wasn’t privy to alot of time. With her fathers excessive gambling, and her brothers college and her mothers inability to keep a job for more than a month at a time, money was tight, and Y/N’s job wasn’t enough to close the gaps.

A loud bang was heard just outside her window, hopefully it was just a villain and not a hero, heroes always left a large mess to clean up and hurt more than they helped. The loud bang was followed by a boom. Y/N shoved her laptop between the couch cushions and threw the covers off and ran to the kitchen window over the sink, she pressed her face against the glass, she arrived just in time to see the building next door to hers collapse to the ground. Nobody lived in that building, it had been condemned years ago and turned into a den for local drug dealers. If they died it was no skin off her back and the younger kids in the neighborhood would be much safer.

She saw a head of yellow hair flash by, and she immediately knew who the culprit was. It was All Might, he seemed to be carrying a thrashing  and wiggling body around, before he craned his neck upwards and shot to the sky then dropped whoever he was carrying and watched him smash to the ground, then he disappeared out of sight, only to return moments later with someone else. A girl, and by the looks of it she couldn’t have been more than 16, he spun rapidly in a circle before flinging her into the building next door.

Good, she thought, the less of them around the better. And if there had to be any building left for collateral damage, it was better it was the empty one. The building to the left of her shook, and a great big boom shook the ground so hard she could feel it where she was standing in her 5th-story apartment.With one shake the building to the left of her collapsed to the ground, she couldn’t hear screams over the sound of falling rubble but she knew they were there. That was the only rent controlled neighborhood, filled with almost exclusively elderly people who were too old to work. They would all be home now.

She pushed open the window and climbed through it, using the fire escape to scale down the side of the building. She could have taken the elevator, which certainly would have been quicker, if the elevator had the elevator worked. Yeah her building had stairs but they were often confusing to navigate and easy to get lost in, and though Y/N hardly got lost in them now, it wasn’t a chance that she was going to take, not when peoples lives were at stake.

Y/N made it to the sidewalk and ran across the street. She was right, some of them were still yelling, no doubt trapped under pounds and pounds of rubble, and though she surly couldn’t save all of them, as long as she could save just one, if she could just one.

Y/N had a hatred for heroes. Everywhere they went they left destroyed lives and buildings and a mess for the locals to clean up that they couldn’t afford. Most people refused to live in apartment buildings because they were frequently destroyed or had things rammed into them. Jobs in the neighboorhood were hard to keep because they were often destroyed by heroes stopping villains who weren’t even villains, just some down on their luck kid who wanted something to eat.

Y/N looked around, saw a crouching woman, who was lucky enough to survived the high fall and lucky enough to be protected by a large panel of wood, protecting her from falling debris. Y/N knew her. Ms. Oleary from 7B, she used to bring her groceries before she quit that job. Oleary couldn’t walk on her own, and even when assisted it was just easier on everybody to carry her. She had two kids, one joined the military and the other worked 3 jobs to maintain her mothers insurance, all that just to be destroyed by a hero hell bent on destruction.

Y/N didn’t like using her quirk, it often came with judgement and sometimes even violent people. In elementry school she learned quickly that it was better to pretend to be quirkless than it is to have a puppeteer quirk. She learned it was better to be in the back of class because people couldn’t spit spitballs at her, and recess was better spent at the library because their was no dirt to be thrown at her or slides to push her off of. 

She spent recess reading and all of her friends were fictional. The closest thing she had to a friend was the girl who ate lunch with her in middle school, because they were both friendless they both, more often then not were paired together by default, they sometimes helped each other out with homework, but that was the extent of their interactions. 

She was the only person she could manage not to scare off, she had a mind reading quirk. It was a quirk that she hardly used because she thought that her thoughts were interesting enough without inspecting other people’s. And Y/N didn’t care you use her quirk much, it was too much work with not enough effort.

Ms. Oleary had a family, she could only imagine the look on her sons faces when they came home for a funeral. When her son came home from war to find a casket, she could pratically see his heartbroken expression, she couldn’t let that happen.

She lifted her arms above her head and wriggled her fingers, silently thanking god that Ms. Oleary wasn’t conscious right now. A gust of wind nearly knocked her over as All Might flew by but she planted her feet firmly on the pavement and lifted her ams again, she wriggled her fingers and flexed her hands, then dramatically bowed foreward. She lifted her head first, then her full body. She watched carefully as Ms. Oleary sat up straight, her usual hunchback gone. Y/N dropped her arms and she slumped back  down, then she lifted her right arm over her head and Ms. Oleary stood with a loud wounded groan.

Y/N, praying that she stayed unconscious Y/N moved her shoulders in a marching movement. Ms. Oleary with largely oversized and misshapen steps marched foreward, step by step. Just as Ms. Oleary took 3 steps forward , the plank of wood that was protecting her gave weight under the buildings rubble.

Y/N maneuvered Oleary until she was clear across the street and a safe distance away from the rubble that had just began to settle. She checked her thready pulse and left her there hoping the paramedics would find her, and sprinted across the street.

She heard a man shouting loudly, his body surrounded by green couch cushions, she dug him out and carried him across the street next to Ms. Oleary, he smiled at her with no teeth and made a noise that Y/N hoped was a thankyou and darted back across the street to save more people.

For the next hour she dug through the rubble alone, that was before people from the other buildings were sure it was safe and came to help, and for the next 4 hours well into the evening they managed to reuse 16 living people and find the bodies of 12 others.

“ Damn heros.” she  said attempting to lift a  heavy piece of rubble, the neighbor down the street saw her struggling and ran over to help. “ All Might destroyed this building and for what? All he does in leave a trail of dead bodies.“ I’m getting tired of cleaning up their messes.”

“ I’m getting tired of seeing their action figures in toy stores. Do they have no idea what they’re doing?”

With one final tug they managed to get the piece of rubble off of what they hoped was a person, only to be met with another corpse. Y/N sighed and dropped her head, and nearly fell to her knees, she was tired of digging up corpses.

Ravi rubbed her back slowly and guided her back across the street where the nurse who lived 5 houses down from her had made a a makeshift triage. He forced her to drink an entire bottle of water and shoved half a granola bar in her face.

Just before Ravi would sit down next to her, she felt the ground vibrate, she looked around nobody but her seemed to notice, and she would have ignored it as something her tired brain made up, but it happened again, this time Ravi noticed, he looked at her and lifted a brow. It could have been a villain that somehow could dig underground, or maybe a ways away more buildings were collapsing.

“ What-”

It happened again, the ground underneath her again, the vibration slightly stronger, she pushed herself off the ground and stood still waiting to feel another vibration. By this time most everyone had stopped digging for bodies and searching for a sorce of the shaking.

“ Could it be-” he started.

“ No, I don’t think-” 

Ravi could tell the exact moment she realized was going on, it wasn’t when All Might flew by in a whiplash inducing speed, or when Endevor followed leaving smoke in his wake. It was when she looked over at the half open rippling , like in those Jurrasic Park movies she watched when she was younger, she didn’t even look behind her before she started to yell.

“ GET OUT OF THE WAY” she shouted. “ EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE WAY.”

She realized it a moment too late, it felt like it was in slow motion. Like that one time when she was little, her brother had just got home, visiting for college, and her dad was home, gambling at the kitchen table. It was a Friday afternoon, which meant she had 2 whole days for her bruises to heal before anyone saw her. Her mom wasn’t home, and  Y/N made the fatal mistake of getting a glass of water, when her dad grabbed her by her collared shirt and flung her across the room.

That didn’t hurt so bad, what usually hurt was the beating she would take after. Her father even offering up turns to his friends which they gladly took.But that time, before her father could raise another fist to her, she was pulled out of the way by her brother.

And it was that pulling motion that snapped her back to reality. Ravi, who finally caught on to what was happening, grabbed her by her arm and pulled her away from a sign that shook loose and fell to the ground, it would have squashed her.

She looked up, and saw the bottom of a large purple boot, the world slowed down as she watched that foot come down feet away from her, it knocked her off balance. She saw the people yards away, frozen from some mix of panic and surprise. Mount Lady would crush them, squash them like insects, end their existence without so much as a blink, and Y/N could stop it.

She quickly puppeteered them out of the way, using her hands to haphazardly clear them away without care with where they landed so Mount Lady wouldn’t crush them, and then before she knew it, at breakneck speed she was snatched from her spot on the sidewalk and tossed onto the roof a building, the only thing she could see before she flew 50 feet was a flash of blue and yellow.

The fall must have knocked her out because the next thing she knew All might had her dangling by her foot off the edge of the building. Damn, her head hurt and she could barley comprehend what was happening, all she knew is that she should be afraid.

All Might, who got tired of her not responding flung her into nearby rubble, the last thing she remembered was the pain as she collided with the ground, and the pain from when rubble landed on and crushed her leg. Then the world around her grew dimmer and dimmer until it blinked out.

[the-ship-maker-2]

Hi I'm so sorry I'm disturbing you but may you do a creepypasta match with me I'm sorry if I got the wrong person but I'll add my details

I have medium dirty brown hair(it grows so fast so I cut it)

My eyes look blue or a greenish blue or full grey I have a small cut on my nostril from a cat growing up and I'm sorry if this is a sad part. My parents growing up always fought and kinda traumatized me making me a sucidal wreck and a depressed female as a child and my mom always pointed out how big my chest is which honestly caused many insecurities I'm 20-18 now so looking back it was a very bad family home and made me extremely scared of meeting new people and shy

Likes

Toys

Plushies (I love them since as a kid they always comforted me especially the soft ones)

Cuddles (never been in a relationship just seems nice)

Hugs

Ruffling my hair

Dressing up ( I kinda liked it as a kid and I guess it still affects me now)

Art

Horror books

Dislikes

My insecurities

My body (I'm underweight if someone looks at my torso you would see my ribs immediately and even touching my arm gently you feel my bones)

Getting hit hard enough to trigger childhood trauma

Feeling useless (I'm sorry it's just been a bad time)

Being abandoned

My chest (it was mentioned earlier I'm sorry)

I'm sorry if it's alot

You're doing just fine. I'm sorry all that happened to you. Parents can't get anything right smh 😔. But you're not bothering me and you've come to the right place. It's been awhile since I've done a match up so bare with me here.

Anyways I match you with...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laughing Jack (LJ)

You got lucky with this clown. LJ loves playing with your hair and he'll even cut it if you want him too but I don't think that would be a good idea. He also always asks to do staring contests with you but really it's just an excuse to stare at your beautiful face. He can't get enough of it. From the way your eyes fluctuates between blue, greenish blue to gray or taking in every part of your features like that scratch on your nostril. And he always wins.

LJ hates hates hates that you went through all of that. No one as amazing as you should ever had to go through that and you deserved better. He will never argue with you or at the very least keep them from escalating. He may be a children's toy but from his many many years of being around he sort of understands how trauma works. He's very glad that you didn't end yourself otherwise he would never have had the glorious luck of meeting you. Even in your depressive sate he'll stop at Nothing to make you laugh and smile just once. After all being a clown is what he does best he was literally made to bring joy to a child. It won't make the depression go away but it makes it a little bit better for the moment.

LJ is literally a child's toy plus he has a whole carnival he can give you toys and plushies galore. You literally have a whole room of plushies just for you. He was ecstatic when he found out you liked art, dressing up and horror books. He even combined the two and gave you horror coloring books and sketchbooks. He even gets you dresses. Although they make you look like a doll but it's the thought that counts.

LJ will not have any of that insecurity bullshit. He can and will find a way to make you see that all of your insecurities are things that he likes about you. He loves your body just the way it is. If you want to change it in a healthy way then he will do all he can to help. He will never hit you. He also hates feeling useless and abandoned so he understands completely. But with a lot of reassurances from the both of you I promise you you'd never have to be alone ever again when you're with him ❤.

Feel free to ask again!

Part 2

Gender: Female

Pairing: Peter Parker x reader

Warning: None

Summary- [Y/N] asks Peter to do some TikTok dances with her.

Bonus: Clueless Peter. FLUFFF. Also guy best friends are the best best friends to have lol

If you need a description for Asher, just think whatever your idea of a really hot guy is lol.

A/N- this is a repost because the first one was blocked from tags due to tiktok being weird about links😬

---------------------------------------

"Oh my gosh bitch, just ask him."

Your best friend Asher glared at you with pure impatience in his eyes. You'd been going on about this in every gym class for literal weeks.

"Oh my God, doesn't that guy over there have such a classic 'tiktok guy' face?"

"Ooh, look he's flexible! He's probably a really good dancer too."

"You think he'd do a tiktok with me? Nah, that's dumb."

"I bet he's a tiktoker and I just haven't found his page yet."

It drove him crazy. He didn't know whether you had a crush on this guy or if you really were just that obsessed with tiktok to the point where you were finding random people who looked good to do them with, but at this point he didn't care. He just really wanted to stop having conversations every day that ended with him staring at some guy and wondering if he could throw it back.

You watched the boy in question occasionally. You'd practically studied his physique, his face, his little ticks. Everything. But you didn't even know his name. All you knew was:

You definitely wanted to do a tiktok with him.

"Nah, Ash. He's probably gonna think I'm weird. I mean, who just goes up to someone and says 'yo you wanna do a tiktok with me?"

Asher facepalmed and groaned. "Literally anybody that wants to do a tiktok with someone else, [Y/N]." He rolled his eyes with a chuckle as he ruffled your hair with his hand. "C'mon, stop being a wimp and go ask the guy. Cuz if you don't, and I have to keep hearing you going on about his 'classic tiktok boy look', I'm seriously gonna jump off a cliff."

"Fuck you," you snickered with a smile.

Asher gave you a smirk. "You wish."

"Ewww," you groaned. Rolling your eyes, you looked back to the boy you'd been thinking about. He was sitting with his friend on the other side of the gym. You bit your lip anxiously. "Nah, I'm not gonna do it." You looked again. "Okay I'm gonna do it." He was just sitting there minding his own business. "Uh-uh. Nope. Not gonna do it."

"Oh my God..." Asher shook his head. "Fucking lost cause- HEY YO PETER!," he yelled to the other side of the gym, waving his hand wildly and signaling a 'come here' motion when the brown haired boy looked towards him.

Gasping, you turned around and slapped Asher's arm harshly.

"What was that for?!," he asked, rubbing the spot lightly.

"You knew his name?!," you hissed. "You knew his name this whole time and you never told me?!"

He simply smirked in return. "You never asked," he said, earning a middle finger from you.

"You suck," you scolded.

"You swallow," he shot back with a smirk.

Looking back, it made sense that Asher would know his name. After all, he was the social butterfly of social butterflies. You were sure that the only way you had caught a friend like him was because you were already his best friend before he hit puberty. While with others it causes acne and insecurity, it made Asher a literal supermodel (along with a bit of acne, I mean c'mon it's high school). And the fact that he was athletic, being on both the basketball team and the tennis team didn't hurt either. He hung with practically every clique in school, dragging you along wherever he went, though he preferred to hang with the popular crowd the most.

You both looked back to where Peter sat to see that he hadn't moved yet. He was halfway standing up but seemed to be caught up in a deep, frantic, borderline-panicking conversation with his friend.

Asher cocked his head to the side. "Aw, I think he's shy," he snickered. "You got yourself a little shy tiktoker." He shook his head slightly and as he continued to laugh. "Hang on, I'll go get him."

"Just don't say anything weird," you said, pushing him away to go fight your battle.

You drew in a long breath as you watched them converse and you waved when you saw Peter's eyes following Asher's point in your direction.

Knowing your best friend he was probably saying something super embarrassing that you'd have to explain away later, that is, if Peter walked over there in the first place.

"You know he really likes you, right?"

You swung around and looked to the bleacher seats on your right to see a curly haired girl with a book in her hands staring at you with the most unamused face you've ever seen in your life.

"Who?," you asked, extremely confused as to why this girl who never talked to you was talking to you. "Trust me, Asher and I have already been down that road. We're good where we are."

"Not him. Parker," she said tilting her head in Peter's direction. "He stares at you alot. It's pretty weird if you ask me. But then again, you stare at him alot too," she noted rather blatantly. "You guys could probably work. You're both dorks." She smirked, satisfied with her observations and went back to her book as if nothing happened.

"I don't like him," you mumbled back. "I don't even know him."

She didn't raise her eyes from her book as she sighed loudly. "Well then why're you so obsessed with doing a video with him because he has a 'classic tiktok boy look' when you've got Asher -who arguably has more of a 'classic tiktok boy' look than Parker- right next to you, who would probably be more than willing to do some lame dance with you being that he's your best friend?," she asked (more accused than asked).

"Oookay, whatever...," you mumbled, figuring you didn't need to explain yourself to someone you didn't know, turning back to where you could see Asher walking back to you, Peter and his friend close behind. When they finally reached you, Asher put a hand on both you and Peter's shoulders with a smug grin on his face.

"Okay. [Y/N], meet Peter. Peter, meet my dear friend [Y/N]."

You plastered a smile on your face and waved, to which Peter nervously smiled and waved back. He shared a quick look with his friend and then spoke up. "So, uh, can I help you or something?," he asked, snapping you from your thoughts.

"Hmm?," you hummed.

"It's just that, I-i don't.. really know why I'm over here.

"You threw your hand over to the left of you, expecting to hit Asher in the chest. "Ugh, Ash you didn't even te-" You turned your head when you felt nothing but air. "Ash?"

"Hey [Y/N]!"

You turned your head towards his voice and saw that Asher had moved to sit next to the girl who spoke to you before.

"We should really read this book Michelle's reading together. It's called 'The Slaughterhouse Five'!"

You rolled your eyes. Asher hardly even read books unless they were required. Dumb flirter.

You tilted your head toward this "Michelle" girl, whose head was stuck in a book as she actively ignored Asher sitting next to her. You chuckled, mouthing a quick 'good luck' to your friend before turning back to the timid boy who was watching you expectantly.

Shaking out the anxiety in your head, you finally spoke to him. "Uh, I have this thing that I'm trying to do and I know you don't know me and I don't know you and we've never really talked at all and this is kinda weird, but I kinda think that you'd be awesome for it," you rambled, continuing when Peter nodded. "So would you maybe wanna do it with me?"

"Well, what is it exactly?," he asked.

You shrugged. "Just some tiktoks," you said. "I mean, it's totally fine if you don't wanna-"

"Um, sure. But question, and this is probably gonna sound really lame but," he started. He blushed as he looked down at his feet. "What is a tiktok?"

You slapped your hand over your mouth, trying to hide a laugh. You looked to Peter's friend who was still standing there beside him. "I-is he serious?"

His friend laughed too, nodding his head. He patted Peter (whose face was now beet red) on the back and whispered into his ear. Peter's face lit up. "Oh! Gotcha. Thanks, Ned."

"So will you?," you asked.

He scratched his head. "Well sure, but full warning. I'm not much of a dancer."

Michelle looked up from her book once again. "Shut up, loser. You pick up combinations faster than anyone I know."

Your face brightened. "I knew it!" You grabbed his arm and pulled him to the closest wall. "Okay so we'll just start off easy, alright?" Peter nodded in response. "Ummm, let's do this one."

Peter watched it about three times and handed your phone back to you, to which you gave it to Ned so that he could record it.

"Uh, we go right first, right?," Peter asked, going over the entire dance in his mind as he stood beside you while you checked with Ned to see if the shot was good.

"Yeah," you said, smiling as you got a thumbs-up from Ned. "Alright let's do this."

Peter would be lying if he said he had any idea what he was doing. Technically, he knew the dance. It wasn't hard at all and only took him watching it two times to get the hang of it.

But what was he really doing??? First, some really cool guy with the best haircut and chiseled jaw he's even seen who he never thought would be talking to him ever just walks up to him and Ned and practically demands (in a really cool, nonchalant, and non-aggressive way) that he goes to the other side of the gym to the girl that he's been secretly (well not so secret by the way Peter crushes) crushing on without giving him a clear reason. Then he gets there to find out that this totally hot girl picked him out of everyone in the entire gym to do dances with and he actually manages to suck up his nervousness enough to agree??

In a word, wild.

"Okay, that was pretty good," you said as you watched the video. Peter didn't know why, but he could feel a 'but' coming.

You gave a small smile. "But-"

Ah. There it was.

"Look dude," you sighed before pointing at his face. "You are, like really cute. You gotta own that and put it to use, man!"

Peter's eyes went wide and immediately he looked to Ned, who was also freaking out behind you.

You called him cute.

He liked you and you just called him cute.

You were one of the most popular girls in school, he liked you, and you just called him cute.

You continued. "You gotta put some false confidence on it! Bite your lip or something. Get into the music, man."

Peter's face was the reddest it'd ever been and you were sure that he was probably never used to getting a compliment by the way he was acting.

"U-uh, um. Wowww, heh, uh thanks," he mumbled, not really sure how to respond. His voice was wavering and he looked anywhere but you. "So, uh, you want to r-run it again?"

But of course, like all good things, it came it an end.

The gym coach came out clapping his hands together, demanding everyone's attention. "Okay everybody time for drills!"

You sighed. "Guess I'll just have to go with the first one. Thanks anyway, Peter," you said with a smile. "You've got some moves."

Once you turned away, immediately your face fell.That sucked.

You walked back to where Asher was getting up from his where he sat with MJ, and to your surprise, they were actually having conversation.

He waved and tilted his head to Peter in question. You shrugged in response, giving a 'kinda' motion with your hand.

"Hey [Y/N]!"

You turned back around and saw Peter with a cute and bashful smile on his face. "What up?"

"I-i was....I was wondering if m-maybe you'd...like to, um, maybe do this again tomorrow?"

On the insides, you were totally freaking out. This was great. You thought you'd scared him away but he wanted to do it again. "Yeah, totally! We can go to my house after school and-"

"I can't right after school," he rushed. "How about 6?"

"Sure. That's fine. 6 it is. I, uh, I need your number so I can send you my address." You whipped out your phone and gave it to him so that he could put his number in. Before sending your address, you paused. "You're not some psycho killer, are you, Peter?"

He laughed. "Nah, you've got nothing to worry about from me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~that afternoon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

KingAsh👑😎: he there yet?

[Y/N]: nope

[Y/N]: hes lucky hes cute otherwise I'd be mad that hes so late

KingAsh👑😎: pls don't tell me u fell in love after one tiktok🙄

KingAsh👑😎: ...

KingAsh👑😎: Fuck u

[Y/N]: u wish

KingAsh👑😎: well only if you think you can handle me😏

[Y/N]: omg just stop talking forever

---

Your head popped up from your phone when you heard the doorbell ring. You sent a quick text to Asher and ran downstairs to open the door for Peter.

"Uh, hey!," he said with a smile. "Sorry for being so late."

"Hey Peter," you greeted. You paused. "Um, mind if I call you Pete?"

He blushed, scratching his head. "Nah I don't mind. I get that alot," he said, stepping into your home.

"M'kay, I got some pizza in my room if we end up getting hungry and ahh, let's go up," you said, leading Peter to your room.

Peter looked around and noticed how quiet it was. "Where are your parents?," he asked.

"Well that's a million dollar question," you chuckled. "I live with my uncle."

"Oh," Peter hummed. "I live with my aunt." He announced, a bit too strangely happily.

"So, it's a Friday evening," you said, shifting topics. "We've got all the time in the world! So let's get it! I'll teach you everything..."

What you didn't know was that Peter spent almost all of his time on patrol scrolling through all the popular trends of tiktok and even finding your page and practically obsessing over it for hours. He'd studied and prepared and he was determined to impress you. And hopefully, if everything went according to his plan, you'd think he was more than cute by the end of the day.

Tarot Readings- Peter Hale and Marianna Mccall

Deck used- Throne of Glass playing cards (OwlCrate) Web of Connection Spread ......6....... 4...........5 ......3....... 1...........2

1. Why did you meet? King of Swords 2. What were/are you suppose to learn from the relationship? King of Wands (How to be a leader,strong,authoritative,to be bold and even competitive. How to grow and mature but still be fearless. ) 3. Why are you connected to them? Knight of Cups (Aside from them having a Soul Bond...Out of love an affection,strong emotional connection) 4. What did/do you gain from being connected to them? King of Pentacles (Hard work,dedication,Financial security (which is very prevalent in the next reading I do with Peter) a loyal,protective partner.) 5. What will you loose if you remove the connection? Knight of Pentacles R (Money,Ambition,start to feel a lack of motivation and missed opportunities in a sense you've lost your good luck charm. An obvious disconnection from nature,becoming bored and unadventurous.) 6. General Advice/outcome- Page of Cups ♥ (Emotionally immature to begin with the knights indicate that Peter will help Marianna mature and become more grounded. This card also indicates engagement and or pregnancy,both that do happen down the road! They must follow their instincts and sixth sense and not let others make up their minds for them. Also yes it's obvious when Peter started liking her as it was pretty obsessive but page of Cups says to be open to his advances,but be aware that once she's committed Peter will be highly sensitive to her needs,and vice versa,therefore easily upset (comes with being a territorial Werewolf...)which will end up in moodiness,but lots of compassion and cuddles on both their parts can remedy that.)

Soulmate Past life/present spread (Using My Dragon Deck) --3------6 1--2---4--5 -----7 ----8--9 -13-15--14 --10--11 ----12 You= Peter SM=Marianna Past Life 1.aspect of you- Three of Wands (Traveler,possibly somewhere hot and sunny I’m thinking a desert to India,an exciting new adventure and letting go of the past (Which ironically he needed to do in this life as well),possibly met Marianna well traveling and immigrating to India,I view him as a Seer in that life as well.) 2.aspect of sm (soulmate)-6 of Swords (breaking away from her family,maybe she was indian royalty and wanted to get away from the turbulence and restrictions,traveled overseas,possibly where she met Peter on the way,he became her spiritual guide through these dark times and taught her how to meditate.) 3.outcome- Ace of Pentacles (Wealth,abundance,happiness,I’m thinking Peter married into her family as a Seer/advisor,where Marianna inherited a palace.) Present 4.aspect of you- King of Swords (Fearless Leader,logical,intelligent and formidable but not above coercion or bribery,an avid reader,Though there was a time when he did not think so clearly and had a troubled past (more then likely indicates the fire)  5.aspect of sm- Four of Wands (Stability,Family,protection,may indicate marriage or the soul bond) 6. Outcome (influenced by past life experience)-Ten of Wands and (Clarifier) Ten of Cups R (Connects to 6 of Swords) (The hardships they’ve both faced on their own,especially family wise,Marianna’s family left her and she was adopted,The Mccalls divorced which Mari could partially put the blame on herself by thinking she was a burden.)  Meeting 7.path to meeting (what you need to do) 5 of Swords and (Clarifier) Six of Wands (Through alot of hardships that will eventually lead to success and happiness.) 8.condition of upon meeting- Two of Pentacles and (Clairfier) The Lovers (Well I feel like Peter was going through financial hardships even though he was hoarding it...then got it stolen out from under him. Maybe The Mccalls are going through the same,I mean there’s only one parent supporting them. Love at first sight,attraction,they did meet when they were teenagers.) 9.time frame (pay attention to card number; mentions of cycles...etc...)- The Hanging Man,Number is 3,looks to be Midday,Symbol is a Triangle,Sign of Neptune and a Crescent moon. (Marianna did seem to think that love was evading her and,even though she didn’t know it att,the Peter that she saw was a spirit of sorts. It was midday when they officially met,the number 3 indicates how they should embrace their destiny instead of fight it.)  Relationship 10.potential problems- Three of Cups ( too much group socializing and partying or the group itself could affect the relationship) 11.solution- Eight of Swords with The Tower and (Clairfier) High Priestess  12.influences- The Moon (Clairfier) The Hierophant (Pretty obvious now that one of Marianna’s powers is prophetic dreams.This may also be when Peter turns her into a Were which definitely has an influence over her. Definitely Peter or even Derek or Scott,as Alpha’s or Omega’s really as Were Packs are all about control,territory and leading as well as listening to your Alpha (Which in Mari’s case would be Peter. Also Peter’s past life as Mari’s guide could influence this life as well.)  Results & Guidance 13.message from angel/spirit- The Star (A Message to both of them that after The Tower and Moon comes the calm after the storm. A release from the past,a time to be true to themselves and for others to just accept them as themselves and a couple,A great freedom and real love for each other,a karmic link.) 14.message from Goddess/God- Eight of Cups (Soul searching,leaving behind what once she or he thought they needed,for Mari I feel like this is about any lingering feelings over Stiles or in finding her biological family,In Peter I feel like this is his family from no longer trying to be accepted,of them both leaving home together and moving on.They can find what they once needed,a family,together.) 15.final outcome- Five of Wands (This is so about them leaving for The Desert,leading their own pack,living in peace for a time and then having to deal with hierarchy issues as well as The Hunters coming for them again,trying to bend them to their will or killing them,wanting Marianna’s unborn child and them standing up and not allowing this.Fighting for their freedom and supernatural justice.)

Personal Destiny Spread

Card #1 describes the “present” environment or personal reality that is ripe for change. Card #2 shows the “heart of the matter,” or what the querent feels about the situation. Card #3 shows “state of mind,” or what the querent thinks about the situation. Card #4 shows “desire,” or what the querent wants from the situation. Card #5 suggests motivating challenges or opportunities that may appear in the situation. Card #6 shows how likely “getting clear of the past” is for the querent. Card #7 summarizes the outcome of the querent's efforts in creating a new personal reality. The two numerically derived “quint” cards show the influence of a higher order of understanding.

Card #1- (Marianna) The Hierophant with The Knight of Cups (Ego) (Marriage,as well as Tradition and rite of passage which makes me think of either Derek’s pack or Her and Peter’s. The Knight only confirms the marriage part as well as love and romance but also unpredictability and negotiation. Maybe the pack mentality needs to change.) Card #2- (Both) Five of Swords and The Magician (This reminds me of what happened when Alison died so this could represent the past or because I haven’t written that part yet,the future. Or since Peter wasn’t really involved in that fight,it could represent Derek and Scott setting him on fire and almost killing him.The Magician has Peter all over it!) Card #3- (Peter) The High Priestess R With Strength (Spirit) (Less aloof,seeking a relationship,more social,still vengeful but biding his time,which very much describes Peter in S2. Inner strength,needs to temper his anger,difficult for a wolf,may be facing off against an old enemy (The Argents),prideful,brave and bold on the outside,fearful on the inside,strong relationship that has weathered many storms.)  Card #4- (Peter) The Fool R With Strength (Desires Freedom from convention and responsibility. Don’t we all...But Strength indicates he may very well do something foolish to get it and not let fear hold him back.) Card #5- (Marianna) Seven of Wands with The Knight of Cups (Indicates her becoming Pack leader in Arizona along with Peter which may cause conflict between them and the group but The Knight of cups indicates that Mari’s more loving and romantic nature will come out and soften things with Peter and therefore the pack.) Card #6- Ten of Cups (Family,the birth of Malia)  Card #7- Four of Wands R and King of Wands (Going it alone,lack of stability,wanderer,seems likely this is after what happens with the hunters but it is only temporary. Both Peter and Mari take on leadership roles and are independent and assertive,once they come back together,and Peter forgives her for stealing his memories,they will enjoy a dynamic relationship once again.)

[gg-astrology]

Ajdjskf hello friend!! I know you might be bogged down with asks atm but I was wondering what you think about someone with a sagittarius sun and cancer moon? It doesn't have to be a whole lot 🤧 also is it okay if I rant about something too? Kind of get something off my chest lol I hope you're doing okay and had a good say today! 💕💕💕

Hello friend!! 💕💕 Don’t worry I want to collect em’ combinations 💕💕 

[Below Cut: Sagittarius Sun - Cancer Moon 🌘]

Most noticeable thing for me about this placement is their curiosity, it’s because they’re incredible learners -- often retaining information and absorbing things quickly it makes them curious characters for me 

They’re not like-- outright about it, they’re the type to sit you down and show interest in what you’re saying. Engaged listeners, they truly have the ability to both care and be practical about it at the same time.

Will repeat what you said to you and try to clarify, they’re the type to learn things quickly step-by-step. As long as the core foundation is good, they feel confident in exploring/making up explorations themselves

I think they’re similar to Geminis when they’re like this. But less flippant or candid, Sagittarius/Cancer are a little more subtle. A little more observant of other people, they learn how to read information from others as well as process whether they should believe it or not at the same time. 

Self-study is a thing like, these people can often be very resourceful. The type to utilize the Library or find places/people they can gain context from. 

These people are pretty flexible people, often receptive to new information and social climate. These people eyes light up when they discover new areas of exploration/studies, and although they approach it with fascination-- they like to keep pace with themselves and try to work through it with quiet determination/intrigue. 

This is because they’re daring but also astute, they’re freedom-loving but also intuitive. They’re careful--- often looking left and right before making a decision. But they’re also inventive and creative. They like to tie these things together in a neat little package. Underneath their curious/love-learning nature is their emotionality and fluidity to their persona. Which makes them really stable and emotionally receptive friend (feels self-assured, like they can hold themselves dependable and thus makes people come to them)

Their emotionality is often their strongest point, because it gives them good judgement on people they surround themselves with. Intuitively, they’re pretty sharp. Can pick up someone with an ulterior/bad motive from a while away. Their self-preservation is incredible, but it might not be a good thing all the time since they may be too careful/cautious and lose opportunities with people socially (who aren’t going to wait for them). 

How they feel about something/someone is part of their survival instinct, they know when/how to utilize it best (people who are untrustworthy or is going to let them down).

They might not like to ill-prepared, they get queasy/sick when they’re completely blind-sided by something someone else throws at them and ‘expect’ them to do well (like an unexpected presentation, etc) 

They don’t want to look bad in front of people, disappointing others feels  like letting themselves down. They want to be more than that, which is why they work hard to be firmer, grasp better at certain things so they can help. They want to put their best foot forward always. 

It’s mostly to do with how their heart is. They have a good heart, but Cancer Moon likes to be emotionally in-control even when they’re FEELING so much emotions. 

It’s this good-hearted nature in them that they exude tranquility to others around them, yet at the same time. It can also be holding them back.

They exercise a lot of caution because of this emotional Cancer, not letting themselves (their Sag) get too far ahead or behind. They don’t like losing focus, yet at the same time they fear they’ll get out of hands. 

It can feel restraining to the person, walking at their own pace feeling at their own time. Yet they fear a lot of things, in the past and future because they want to be themselves/have autonomy/be in control. So a lot of the time, the leash they keep on their Sagittarius gets tighter and tighter until they pull back into themselves completely. 

They may often feel like they have high ideals, romanticism nature to them because of Sagittarius’s hopeful nature and Cancer’s receptivity to ideas. Alot of people in these placements feel like their head is in the clouds-- and that’s when the Cancer Moon feels threatened and tries to loop the Sagittarius in closer to itself.

The problem isn’t with the idealizing of things, or feeling hopeful/optimistic about certain situations. It’s that they can get complacent with themselves, often settling for less than what they deserve because they don’t want to ‘get too high up in the clouds’. 

Their insights and sound judgement aren’t compromised because of their high ideals-- it’s compromised because they restrict themselves. They’re highly sensitive, and this can backfire on them because they tend to think they’re delusional, they’re illusions, they’re taking things too far maybe?

They put themselves down without realizing it because they’d rather be the one to cut their own legs than let anybody else cut theirs (again, fear of people’s expectations and living up to said expectations)

Recognizing that this is part of their sensitivity, part of their emotional fear helps them also realize that it’s not very good for them. It’s not very practical for them is it? And it doesn’t allow them to grow (complacency by self-imposed fears) 

Thus they can’t give themselves the credit they deserve because they’re acting like a 🤡 about it.

Paranoia is paranoia--- don’t let it control you. Sometimes identifying fears, emotionality and the worst part of your emotionality that’s inflicting your fears/control issues should be addressed (whenever you’re ready). 

If the person works on taking away their complacency, their allowing these things to happen to them (may just need a good hard sitting down -bluntly and talking to from a trusted friend/person) 

They will have a ‘waking up’ moment and get their shit together (for a while, anyways).

Get a good friend, a practical friend. Let them smack some senses into you. Usually, having different perspective that are less emotional than yours is without all the fluffer and sensitivity issues you have, would generally help with you reaching out to other people and curbing these fears.

If the Sag/Cancer wants a ‘waking up’ moment so much, they’ll have to learn how to activate it/methods for doing so.

I hope this is good 💕💕 And helpful for you!! 💕💕 Good luck with everything!! 💕💕

V is for Vietnamese & Vintage

Us three ladies had always played it pretty safe by way of our lunch dates. Not to say the local deli isn't absolutely kick ass - it's very tasty and very enjoyable every time we go, but in much the same way as I struggle to go to the same country more than once on my holidays (excluding India, you can never have enough India) I couldn't help but think that life's a bit too short to sit in the same eatery every time we meet for lunch, given that the whole day is ours, and within reason, travel is no issue.

The three of us decided that we would try different cuisines every week, and with the girls (Laura and Dani) living in the quieter, leafier suburbs of Otley and Burley in Wharfedale, with me (Alex) living in what I frequently describe as the bronx, 5 minutes from central Leeds but gloriously populated by some of the best food joints in the country (confirmed) they usually end up meeting at mine and then we go into town to try somewhere a bit off the beaten track. Invariably, being three mums of young children, we eat at the speed of rabid dogs and end up having a bit of time to go explore some local weird shop or two, never anything mainstream like a department store. Oh no. We like vintage shops. You know the type, they smell like damp and the inside of your nan's wardrobe, and we prance around pretending to overlook the fact that we are just in a well laid out, slightly more selective charity shop without the undertone of giving. Usually there's some blue haired student with a headscarf and a faint stench of Bobby Orange pawing through piles of shirts and jumpers that are deemed as retro, when they've actually some of them originated in C&A - we remember that place the first time round,depressingly. The whole vintage scene is a bit ironic and try hard and a bit sad at times, but the one thing that it does offer is the piece you are often looking at, generally is one of one only in the store. The same goes for charity shops, generally. We like stuff that can't be bought in bulk.

Dani owns Deluxe Blooms, and is a luxury faux florist, and very good at it too. Laura is a nail technician and spray tanning afficionado, and the owner of Maibella Nails and Tanning. I own a salon called Lexa Hair, and the three of us work together frequently. The ridiculous thing is though, that work is going really well for us, and while in the past we may have dug around in charity shops for a bargain simply to be economical, now it has begun more of a habit. And you know what they say, old habits die hard. We don't have to eat streetfood on picnic tables anymore, and we can shop anywhere we want, but at least just for me, I don't like extravagance and I'm not impressed by labels or price tags. I like pieces that are unique,with a story behind them. My two accomplices sort of get dragged in to it I think, but they seem on board with most of it. I hope.

And street food is the best food on earth, everyone knows that.

We kicked things off with a visit to a fairly new (maybe a year old I think) Vietnamese place on North Lane in Headingley named VietBaker. Inside it's very wooden looking, quite industrial and urban, stained wood everywhere and dark red leather chairs. It smells like the rice cooker that's chugging away in the corner, mixed with plenty of garlic and of course, the fresh baguettes that are stacked up in a glass cabinet above the front desk.

We opted for a sharing platter for £9, and from the menu us Yorkshire ruffians requested spring rolls (the deep fried ones, not the fresh, healthy ones obviously), prawn toast, and 'rustic chips'.

This was skin on chips with salt and pepper (well cooked and so tasty) and the prawn toast was understandably made of baguette slices. It made for a much heavier slab of prawn toast and therefore an even more unhealthy treat but man alive, was it good. The spring rolls were pork, prawn and the usual crispy vegetables inside. Not floppy or soggy, totally crispy and served with a really light and watery sweet chilli dip that's more sweet than chilli. It was all very lovely.

I've personally eaten from here a number of times and I think the Vietnamese have got it absolutely nailed when they make sandwich. Or a Ban Mih. Laura and I opted for one each, chicken for her and pork for me. Dani went for something off the new part of the menu, the fusion section, which even featured a take on beef bourgignon, Vietnamese style. She tried the Shanghai pork belly, served with rice. Her whole bowl was piled high, and we're not talking a polite, peanuts size bowl. More like a ‘free ceramic crunchy nut cereal box’ bowl, with the with tokens on the back of the pack, that you’d send off as a kid. It was huge. The second bowl was just plain rice, which worked really well as the pork alone was…. alot. It was sticky and tangy and rich and all those other wanky words that just mean amazing. I'm trying so hard to limit the wankiness. I like writing and eating, combining the two is hard work though. Bear with me. The slow cooked pork made me feel a bit gutted I went for a sandwich until I got stuck in.

Vietnam was a former French colony, and much like their neighbour Cambodia, found their local best offerings being bastardised to accomodate the 'local palate'. The nice version is that the baguette was the French's gift to the Vietnamese, although I imagine it was more a case of 'put your lovely meal in my baguette for me or you're in deep shit.'

I've never been to Vietnam but having visited Cambodge a few summers back, I remember being astounded at the gorgeous, light, dairy free Asian cuisine that had been shoved in a crusty, warm baguette. Whoever's story was true, it's the absolute bollocks.

They cut this freshly baked baguette open and spread it with patè on one side and on the other mayonnaise (already weird but hang in there) - add a ton of crispy green leaves, cucumber, pickles, coriander and fresh chilies, and add some meat into what little room is left. Enough meat to give you meat sweats. It. Is. Superb.

The pork was very finely sliced, dark and sticky again (here she goes) and you can bang on a fried egg, too, if you're an absolute wrong un. No thanks.

Laura had the chicken which was a milder flavour but none the less tasty and flavoursome. I noticed Laura pulling bits off her sandwich and delicately chewing away at them, while I picked it up and ate it like I'd been sleeping in the dark arches for the last month. I even had to be asked to wipe my face. Sorry, not sorry. No messing with a Ban Mih. Especially not this one.

The bill was a very respectable £11 a head, and they threw in a free set of spring rolls for us, which was a nice unexpected surprise. The place had a steady flow of traffic, and although wasn't packed, I've been on an evening and I think it's safe to assume that's the bulk of their trade. It was fantastic food, very reasonable and highly recommended. Great staff and great location. We'll be back!

Afterwards we drove for about 3 days to find a parking spot anywhere near Hyde Park, so we could check out the newly (ish) renovated (OK sign replaced and possibly ownership changed) Vintage something or other in Hyde Park.

I forget the name, and if I'm brutally honest I can see why. It's alright, but it used to be alot better. The last time I went in there was alot of very old apothecary style wooden drawer units, some weird taxidermy, and unusual pictures in frames that would look incredible in the lounge. This time there was quite a bit of formica, and some hideously orange stained TV units that I guess in some context would be deemed as cool again.

The music collection seemed to be where the most effort had been made. The clothing was actually quite 'quirky' in the sense that you wouldn't actually wear alot of it, there was a whole department that seemed to have been handed over by the owner of the late knob head Jimmy Saville, shell suit after shell suit in every colour of the rainbow, in that non breathable fabric you'd get a two man tent in. Hideous. Still, there are some absolute finds in there. I would encourage people to bear in mind that these shops have a high stock turnaround and in their uniqueness, and ability to replace items based on sales, any vintage shop can be a complete bag of shite one week and a total gold mine the next. Its the luck of the drawer, I love that about them. That and the fact that we call them vintage shops. The three of us refer to them as shit shops, but potato patato.

I find it depressing that as I mentioned before, alot of the 'retro' stuff is just normal stuff we, in our 30s, encountered in our youth. There was a 'vintage phone' that was £15 and I'm pretty sure my gran has it now. It's literally a BT £10 phone still in argos, but clearly it had lived with a heavy smoker, adding to the aged facade.

Some of it was very authentic, some of it was broken crap, but the general feel of the place is a good one. There is more 70s stuff than anything else which is quite cool, but like I say, stock changes very frequently. Dani bought an oversized T shirt with a University football team logo emblazoned across it, and to be honest I would have too. There was a vast array of university related large varsity based sweaters, some unnecessarily cut in half width ways (why?!!!! Serves no purpose now, you fools) and that's the kind of thing I would have liked to look at. But as I was in charge of a one year old who was bombing around the floor, doubling as a human sweeping brush and coming back with more dust on him than the inside of the V6 after the attic stairs have been tackled, I gave it up as a bad job and put my bank card back away. No spending for mum today. Gutted.

The shop is pretty fabulous, on the whole. They do know how to charge when it comes to furniture, but the clothing is far more reasonable. It's not all one off pieces, a couple of items make an appearance a few times and that kind of ruins it for me, I start picturing some huge factory in China making hideously outdated clothing and leaving them in a damp garage for a few years, chucking a bit of tea down them and wearing the cuffs and collars down, before exporting the newly knackered pieces to us dumbasses in our 'quirky vintage shops'. Who knows. It's well laid out, and pretty cool, and although not my favourite, I imagine the next time I go it'll be a whole different experience. Swings and roundabouts with these places. It was an interesting look, and if Parker hadn't been doing his best ferret impression I would have definitely bought a jumper. Well worth a look.

Until next week!

Oohhh nicee!! I know March, ash, don are major fan favorites from what I have seen? But it flip flops alot because then we have about you and shadow sometimes popping up at the top bside wise and I think its just fun to see what fans like and enjoy from bsides! Especially with how sometimes different they can sound and it fits peoples tastes and such. For me I'm leaning towards ash and March along with shadow but hot? Omg my most overplayed song rn like YouTube is very much side eyeing me with how many times I watched the mv, dance, 8d version, everything lol xD it is a fun song and yes, I cannot help but do the body roll while humming the song and doing the dishes lolol. I believe the comeback was short? Sorry am a bit behind with svt news as I'm all over the place personally which is a shame but also I do know they have their tour so maybe that could be why as well? Despite it being short promotion wise, I am happy with it because of all the praise this album got and as mention, jun, hao and seungkwan are all getting alot of attention!! Don't get me wrong, I think everyone very much owned this era and everyone is chefs kiss but those 3 to me are the most stand outs if you will? Like their aura on stage is just SOOO fun to watch and I always hold my breath as cliche as that sounds xD (funny about the no showing with seungkwan jdjwjdjsj he showed a lil bit according to boo fans so he has joined the dark side lol) especially since like for seungkwan and jun they aren't always like, shared outside of their bubble of being performers more like the funny people with the memes ya know what I mean? (Idk if I am explaining this correctly fnsndjsj) people are being drawn into their performance and its so nice to see people going 'why hello there who is this!?' And I get all giddy and happy because its nice to see them being praised as performers! Like you said, jun's fancams are getting alot of love and as he should! Its cute to see him get flustered about the praise but I hope he feels proud of the hard work ya know? (Also jun being a fboy!?! Jesus i never knew this was a thing nd I joined the fandom during DWC lolol. Maybe I wasn't deep in the fandom and thats why? I always saw fans calling him handsome but the funny quirky guy? Which fits him i mean he is attractive but this guy just lives his life peacefully and with a hot dog machine while giving heart eyes to seventeen members but I am a baby jun bias so correct me of course!)

I saw you got tickets and so happy for ya!! Congrats to everyone that got tickets and to those that didn't, don't feel bad!! You can get them resale or its also ok if not! Doesnt make you less of a fan and they are holding an online concert as well I believe so you can try that as well! To everyone seeing svt the first time, super fun and hopefully this time we get luck with a full svt again this tour jfjsjdjs. As for me, we got tickets!! We checked both ticketmaster and vividseats on the day of general and we got better pricing for vivid so we got those there! Granted idk when my friend will get them so if anyone has advice do share! I hope we get them because I will feel bad if she paid and we don't get them. But interesting? I know from my experience at ode in Chicago when we got the day on the time they open doors, we went to our seats and got in line and lightsticks were instantly gone and sold out so I guess the best thing is to either arrive super early OR instantly go in line? I bought mine before so I'm good there!

lol i also do the point choreo whenever i'm listening to it and i'm by myself, it's just too addicting dfkjhg yeah the promotion period was a bit short most bc of concert preparation, their seoul concert is in like a week believe it or not. but it also it seems like their last several comebacks have had shorter promotional periods, which i'm guessing is a combination of them being an older/well known group + focusing more on western/international promotions in recent years

yeah i mean not everyone was explicitly calling him a fuckboy all the time. tbf i also joined the fandom in 2017, but from what i've gathered predebut through 2016 was when the worst of that kind of stuff was going on in the fandom (including other just... bad jokes lmao). but his image even back in 2017 was definitely more along the lines of "handsome guy who's really confident/narcissistic" than it was "funny goofy guy". like it's not to say that ppl didn't talk about him being goofy back then but it just wasn't his main image if that makes sense. and even if he was seen as goofy he definitely wasn't seen as innocent by the majority of the fandom back then lol

thank you! i'm not familiar with vividseats but yes hopefully it works out and you're able to go! and yeah if you want a lightstick you have to rush straight to the merch booth as soon as the doors open, no time to go to your seats first lol! but me and my friend did manage to each get one. we were near the doors when they opened but not like the first ones to go in and we went directly to the merch booth. i think there were like ~8 lines at the one booth we went to and maybe 10 or so people in each line before we got there? i was with 3 other people and only me and one other friend wanted a lightstick but all 4 of us each got in separate lines to placehold in case one moved faster. my two friends that weren't buying anything got out of line once we all started getting closer to the front. but it ended up working out and me and my friend both got lightsticks!

Idolish7 Part 3 Chapter 19.4 summary

We pretty much get confirmed information here so I should be happy, but i’m still internally suffering. Next chapter is gonna take a while because it’s soooooo long x_x

Otoharu introduces the new song that they’ll be performing for MOP (from the release of the new MV preview that Banri posted a little after the update, we know this song is called Nanatsuiro Realize). Nagi is pleased because it is a song that will really emphasize their bond. Everyone is really excited and believes it’s the perfect song for them.

Anesagi introduces the new song that TRIGGER will be performing for MOP (they finally put Daybreak Interlude in the game!!!). They also believe this is the perfect song for them and that they will not only be performing for the fans, but for the people who have worked so hard for them. It’s like the people who arranged the song are wishing them luck.

Ryo points out that TRIGGER and Idolish7 are in the fight for the #1 spot on the MOP. Since the MOP will be getting a lot of publicity he plans on spreading the news that Tenn and RIku are twins right after the performance. It would end up causing a lot of suspicion among the public and TRIGGER probably wouldn’t be able to perform on another stage again without judgment since they just keep hiding things. Touma is appalled at Ryo’s plan.

Iori figures that Tsukumo will probably be up to something due to the MOP (as per usual) and asks who is the next to work with ZOOL. Nagi is scheduled for a modeling gig with Minami. Yamato mentions that Minami had said that Nagi’s best performance was during Sakura Message. Iori also mentions that Minami spent some time overseas and that he should be careful.

After the photoshoot, Minami and Nagi are brought in for a private interview for the magazine they shot for. Nagi says he’s up for answering anything, whether is about his type of woman to the anime he likes, he’s an open book. The interviewer starts off by bringing up Northmare since Nagi is originally from there and Minami studied abroad there and asks why Minami chose Northmare. He says it’s because since he was a kid he wanted to see the aurora. The interviewer commends him on a performance where he was racing a dog sled. Minami says that was another reason he wanted to go to Northmare. Nagi says he’s happy that made him want to go there.

The interviewer asks Nagi what kind of place Northmare is. Nagi says it’s beautiful and you can see the aurora. Minami starts talking about the political situation in Northmare and how it is a constitutional monarchy but that the royal family still has influence. Nagi cuts in, believing this could lead to a misunderstanding. Minami says that alot of the younger people want the country to return to beinga  monarchy, including the first crown prince. Nagi says they wouldn’t do anything that might affect international relations and Minami says that those match the thoughts of the second prince of Northmare who believes in an international society and has been more active in strengthening foreign relations than the minister of foreign affairs. There were even rumors that he managed to resolve an issue with an anti-government group. The second prince apparently developed this point of view after meeting a composer that was visiting Northmare (Are you telling me that Nagi is the freaking 2nd prince of Northmare?! I WANT YOU TO SAY IT I7). Minami thinks the whole idea is childish. He also mentions that something about musicians disappearing because of the government (? someone help me on this one).

The interviewer tries to bring them back to the interview and Minami laughs and apologizes for talking about a topic not meant for the magazine. After the interview is over Nagi goes around looking for Minami but is greeted by Banri. Banri thinks Minami left already and Nagi declares that he’s going back to Northmare. Banri freaks telling Nagi that he can’t because his schedule is packed (LOL Banri’s priorities). He asks what’s wrong and Nagi asks who the composer was for Sakura Message. Banri tells him it’s the normal composer they’ve had. Nagi asks if there was anything different about the delivery and Banri didn’t notice anything in particular. Nagi laughs to himself while quietly saying that this isn’t a laughing matter.

Minami is pleased with himself at Ryo’s office (wth did you just do Minami). Touma takes notice since it’s not normal. Minami asks if Touma is okay since he keeps on looking at his smart phone.

Momo receives a rabbit chat from Touma asking to meet to talk about the MOP taking place tomorrow. Momo says he’ll go meet him alone since Yuki has work right after this. He’ll call once he’s done. Yuki is a little concerned but Momo reassures him that NO_MAD’s Touma is a good kid so there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. Yuki says he’s still worried but he’ll wait for Momo’s call. Momo continues trying to reassure him but Yuki says he’ll always worry about Momo around those people because some people just can’t be saved, like he had been in the past. He admits that in the past he didn’t treat people the way he should have and if it weren’t for Momo’s words to him he would have continued this way. But fallen people like Tsukumo would bring other’s down with him. But because of the way he was back then, it resulted in things like Banri’s injury. Momo believes that Yuki was never a bad person to begin with Yuki disagrees, he wasn’t able to properly make up for what he did before and now there are scars that don’t disappear with time.

Yuki says it’d be good if Tsukumo just self destructs and he wouldn’t even mind if he was treated like an animal. He just doesn’t want Momo to get involved. Momo laughs and reassures him that he’ll be okay and can’t be defeated so easily. Yuki asks if he’s like Superman and Momo laughs and agrees.

Momo finds out from Touma that Ryo plans to out Tenn and Riku as twins but posting the info online after MOP. Normally it wouldn’t be a problem but because of the timing combined with MOP and the rumors that everything was staged it can become a really big problem for all of them. The media would feed into it and believe that all of this was one big plan for a promotion. Momo thanks him and asks why Touma chose to tell him. Touma believes that they should leave their family out of this mess. Ryo shows up to mess everything up.

He greets Touma and is clearly suspicious of finding Momo and Touma together. Touma tries to make an excuse but Ryo asks if he can join in their conversation. Momo tries to play it off as if he invited Touma out instead of the other way around and tells Touma that he’s done with him and that he should go home. Ryo suggests that he and Momo go to Momo’s apartment and asks if it’s okay to invite a few friends over. Ryo tells Touma to leave and not tell anyone about what happened here and threatens that if he does tell anyone that something may happen to his family and former band mates.

Yamato checks on Nagi because Nagi’s DVD has just been sitting at the menu for a long time. Nagi says he’s trying to escape into the 2D world. With Kokona’s magic spell Haruki is safe and is walking through a forest in Northmare. He says that the him here isn’t the real him and that this version of him is in a parallel world. Yamato feeds into it asking if anyone else is in that world. He says that with Kokona’s magic, Mitsuki is a magical idol. He goes on to describe what everyone else is doing in that world and that he’s on top of a tower watching all of them. Yamato asks if he can cast a spell too - that the real Nagi is here with them and that good kids sleep in their beds. Nagi thinks that’s a great magical spell, but magic disappears. He recently learned that too.

11 questions tag game!

Rules: Answer 11 questions, then come up with 11 of your own!

I was tagged by the fantastic @dracohasmycat and despite the amount of work this took thank you, lovely! Also you are welcome to answer my new q’s if you want to, sidenote.

1.When you are older, what do you think children will ask you to tell stories about? 

My travels, all the people and places I’ve seen, and my adventures. I hope that when I am old I will be able to say “I’ve seen and done it all, dearie.” 

2. What weird food combinations do you really enjoy? 

I am a pretty picky eater so this is a hard one. I’m honestly not one to try weird foods.

3. What movie can you watch over and over without ever getting tired of?

I’m definetely a tv show person, but when I was little I loved watching all of the Night at the Museum movies. Right now? Black Panther,Fantastic Beasts I could probably watch over and over. And HP movies of course.

 4. What mythical creature do you wish actually existed? 

Well in the HP universe I love the dimiguises. In general though? This is so cliche but like mermaids. Can I be one? Just because it would be so freeing to live in the ocean and be at one with it. 

5. If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator?

Brendon Urie. He would be great at sarcastically narrating everything I do, plus he’s a cool dude. Or Snape because he would drag my sorry ass.

 6. What artist or band do you always recommend when someone asks for a music recommendation? 

Uh I usually recommend alot. Dorothy, twenty one pilots, panic!, the neighbourhood, dodie, and LP are some particular ones I love right now though and would 10/10 recommend.

7. What’s the most ridiculous thing you have bought? 

I don’t really buy a ton of stuff but once I traded my rabbit for an apple peeler (when I was a child  I was so dumb)

8. If you could choose your animagus form what would it be, and why? 

Peregrine Falcone. They are so freakin’ fast and being a bird would be so freeing, plus they are great for attacking and surveillance. (like I’ll be using that soooo much in my life haha)

9. What’s your good luck charm? 

I don’t believe in luck... but I would say music? I always turn it on when I need confidence or am starting something. (well its always on it general though)

10. What’s the most anxiety inducing thing you do on a regular basis? 

I would say procrastinating things I don’t want to do until the very last minute. That’s a good recipe for anxiety.

11. Do you like things to be carefully planned or do you prefer to just go with the flow?

A bit of both really. I like to have a basic plan for everything I do but, unless its a responsibility I have (so if I have to do a job for someone or a project) , I’m not into detailed planning.

Tagging: @multifandomhcsforinsanity @watermalonepie @ineedjesusorcocainewhateverworks @theotherella @hopelesslyconfuddled @gerards-parasite @jukaiyukira @sadist-fangirl23 @thefirststarinthesky @fandomsaremysoul @cress-in-a-dress @avadamortentia @slytherinsincerity @insert-a-decent-username-here @samwise-the-true-hero @stars-and-galaxys @slytherclaw713 @justyncase @little-cheeky-monkey @whitewaheela @poorapothecaries @personific

[rising-beat]

F.A.Q

This will be regularly updated.

1. Account 

1.1 Where do I download the game (Non-Japanese)?

iOS: Make a Japanese Itunes account. 

Android: Download QooApp. Run it and search for ‘rising beat’ and allow your phone to install apk’s from unauthorized sources.

1.2 I have an error/bug/ it doesn’t download for me.

Check first if your internet is wonky. Tenirabi needs a very solid connection. See that there is enough allotted space in your phone, it is quite a big game.  If everytime you start up the game it starts a big download, it means that you don’t have enough space.  For bugs that don’t seem to be solved, feel free to contact us or contact support.

1.3 How do I save/trade/reroll my account?

Look at this guide.

1.4 Why would I want to save/reroll/trade my account?

Save: If your phone breaks/gets lost, you will still have your account information, and can play on another device.

Reroll: This is reserved to persons who have just started. By rerolling, you can start out with higher rarity cards or your favorite cards. This gives an advantage for scoring/husbando scouting.

Trade: If you roll something your friends wants and vice versa, you can swap accounts.

1.5 Do I have to link my e-mail?

No you don’t. If you want to claim your preregistration prize, it suffices to just play the game, as the rewards are distributed to everyone.

1.6 Is the game in Japanese only?

Chances are small that it will be imported to other countries, so yeah, for now it’s only Japanese.

2. Currency

2.1 Does this game cost real money?

No, it is free to play. That said, it works with a gacha system, a sort of lottery, to make it fair and gain revenue. It also works with an AP system, where every time you play it will cost in game AP. This AP regenerates over time, but can be quickly refilled with in game items or with Beatstones.

2.2 What are beatstones?

Beatstones (bistos) are premium currency, that can also be bought. You use it to roll the gacha and gain cards of the characters. It can also allow you to continue playing a song you failed.

2.3 Why do I have enter my age to buy beatstones?

Japan restricts buying with real money for minors. If you’re younger than 16, you’re restricted to 5000 yen a month, between 16-20 it is 20000 yen and if you’re an adult it’s limitless.

2.4 I can’t buy any beatstones, even though I am an adult?

Change your store to JP is the only solution we can offer for now.

2.5 How do I get beatstones for free?

Currently, there are various ways of earning beatstones for free.

1: Read a story chapter = 25 bistos 2: Daily missions = 10 bistos if you clear the three daily missions 3: Weekly missions = 50 bistos if you login for 7 days 4: Login bonus = Every day you login you get a reward.

WWE NXT Takeover War Games 2017 - Preview & Predictions

Drew McIntyre (c) vs Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas: NXT Title Match

Listed as the main event of the show but I doubt it goes on last when there’s a War Games match to take place, plus it helps the team out who have to put up the cage in not having them rush to take it down quickly too.

I love Drew and his wrestling ability but he still hasn't had that big feud to sink his teeth into for me, some great matches with Roode and Strong but something more involved is needed, hopefully these guys get to work together for awhile yet.

The counter to that though is that I feel Almas is at the top of the list for NXT guys about to be called upto Raw or Smackdown Live, not sure when that would occur (Royal Rumble makes the most sense) but it could affect these two forming a killer feud over the title.

McIntyre has been totally honest since coming in by saying that he’s here to help move NXT along and up from where the likes of Balor, Nakamura, Joe and others have so for taken the brand, the move to the main shows isnt the main focus for him as yet and allows HHH to form the brand around him. 

The addition of Zelina Vega to Almas’ act has done him wonders as that combined with him getting used to the WWE style has seen him flourish, and really has been the reason for his rise up the list of movers to the main roster. Hasn't wrestled much on tv since the last Takeover strangely, hopefully they isnt a factor to this match.

I see the match being built around Almas working over Drew’s leg, Drew’s heroic comeback to nearly take the win and then being screwed out of the win by Vega. It wont be a clean victory and title change but will see Almas being called the winner as he steals the win just as Drew was about to finish him off. Lets the heels brag while the face has to demand another match to show he can win clean, probably results in Drew offering up a no DQ match to get Almas in the ring again. - ALMAS

Authors Of Pain (AOP) + Roderick Strong vs The Undisputed Era vs Sanity: War Games!

At last War Games is able to be used in the WWE, but, lets get this out there straight away the rules are slightly different to normal and there’s no roof to the cage. If you're here to see a big old NWA/WCW match then you may be alittle disappointed, so lets get past the instantly and welcome NXT’s method to doing the match.

For me no roof means a big dive which may be their thinking of what will make up for no blood being allowed, but with Cole being cut open on an NXT house show we still may see accidental blood if his wound opens up. 

The match will start with one person from each team in the ring for a 5 minute period, whilst the other team members will be in their own shark cages (I swear WWE has a share in a shark cage company), after the 5 minutes one of the teams will be released from their cage to get into the cage and join the battle. Next follows a 3 minutes period until the next team get unleashed to join, and then another 3 minutes until the final team can finally enter. No pin-falls or submissions are allowed until the final team has entered the structure, as when they enter the match beyond begins, in another change to previous this match can finish with a pin or submission and not just someone having to say they quit.

And every week since they announced the match I have laughed that they haven't even tried to explain the rules in detail to the audience, everytime they talk about it they tell you to visit the website to find out yourself. Good luck to the announce team tonight in guiding fans through it all.

In terms of the match I only see the Undisputed Era taking this and Adam Cole being the guy to seal the victory, the only thing im undecided on is if there’s a horseman beat-down with Strong turning on the others and joining the Undisputed Era to demolish everyone else in the cage. Of if they just win in a hard hitting bout to really cement their group as the killers of the brand. - UNDISPUTED ERA

Peyton Royce vs Kairi Sane vs Ember Moon vs Nikki Cross: Fatal 4 Way To Crown A New NXT Women’s Champion.

Next up is another multi person match but this time its to crown the next champion after Asuka, some mighty big boots to fill. All women had to qualify for the right to be here through triple threats or a battle royal, and to be honest all 4 have a solid chance of coming out on top of the pile. 

Peyton is the outsider of the four for me but also brings the character and act that can really make the title run count, her winning and moving onto a feud with Kairi with Billie Kay at her side will be fun, as will the segments the Iconic Duo put together around the belt. It also gives them the chance to hint at a possible break up between the two if Billie has urges to taking the title herself, she really brings alot of options to the table.

Kairi Sane is the hottest out of all of the girls when it comes to momentum after winning the Mae Young Classic and being the new great wrestler on the brand, adding the title to that as well could do wonders for her. Will be interesting to see how they handle her as champion with a lack of English currently and if they follow some of their steps they took when Asuka first came into the group. 

Ember Moon, this is the tough one for me when it comes it her being crowned the next champion, for her to be champion she REALLY needed to beat Asuka before she left for Raw. She lost multiple times to Asuka putting her down in peoples eyes, and for her to win it as soon as Asuka leaves just really emphasizes that she wasn't on Asuka’s level. Im not the biggest fan of Ember’s, mainly down to the reputation she has with people that saw her work pre NXT that she really hasn't liven upto outside of one or two matches, but for me she really needs to come away from the title for awhile. Give her afew months away in a feud with someone else over something completely different, the more time between her being crowned champion and Asuka giving the belt up the better. The recent mini feud with Mercedes Martinez may be something I would want to explore more after this Takeover, infact using Ember to take on some of the other MYC competitors may not be the worst idea treating Ember as the measuring stick.

Nikki Cross, she’s probably the second best out of the four women involved but at the same time seems the furthest away from the actual women’s division, feels more apart of Sanity than she does an actual part of the wrestling side of things. They may want her to win the title to have a number of belts on Sanity to put over their stable to compete with the Undisputed Era, build them up as much as they can. 

Overall im going with Peyton, there’s more to her than the others that can be worked on for tv. It also sets her up to go against each of the others in this match in singles matches to really cement her title run if they need it. -  PEYTON

Aleister Black vs The Velveteen Dream

And now for my most looked forward to match on the card, both guys have brought alot to this feud in matches as well as on the mic and also out of the ring antics. Black is showing he can carry a WWE feud and do good work on the mic while always showing character, and the Dream is making this all about recognition and showing he has improved leaps and bounds over the past year.

Black, as well as Ohno in the next match, are here to show they can help get others over and developed as well as putting on a good match. Aleister is someone that may get quickly pushed up the card as soon as people on the main roster see more of his work with how different he is.

The Dreams top rope elbow is a thing of beauty and the more he develops his moveset the better, he has the character down to a tee, and now just needs to add the good matches with better guys to really get noticed. 

As for this match I see Black going over but after the match he will say the Velveteen Dreams name in recognition, Black takes the win but the Dream ultimately takes what he needs from this too - BLACK

Kassius Ohno vs Lars Sullivan

This match should a fun hard hitting brawl between these two big guys, Ohno asked for it but will he really regret that decision in the end?

I think this is ultimately what Ohno was brought back to the company for, to help push the newer guys to develop well as well as getting the better guys ready for the main shows. Such a good worker that many guys should be asking questions of constantly around the Performance Center and backstage at shows.

Lars has looked a beast since debuting in tag matches, he finally now is getting the singles chances after improving and it shows. The only drawback for me with Lars is that knee brace, he always moves weird with it as if he only just injured it when really it was awhile ago that something happened. Will be interesting to see who the next few guys they choose to have him work with will be, as I feel they are being really careful in that aspect of his career at this stage. - SULLIVAN

Should be another great Takeover show from NXT from top to bottom, not sure if we see any extra matches but I dont think we need any.

Enjoy the show

Bye for now
