[naanima]

This commercial is the GREATEST NHL PLAYOFFS COMMERCIAL, EVER. You might have seen the short snippets of it! Biz, Hank & other commentators chatting, players saying, "I know Gordo." BUT OMFG! THE FULL 8.17MINS COMMERCIAL IS FUCKING GLORIOUS!!!

I don't know how, but this commercial ACTUALLY had the players ACTING?!? FEELING NATURAL?!?! SID COME ACROSS ALL NATURAL?!? WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

But it is the BEST UNHINGED GLORIOUS THING, EVER!!!

WATCH IT!

Hi! First off, I love your writing. Absolutely amazing. There's just a depth to it that I can't even understand. There are so many plot twists, and the cliff hangers! I literally cannot stop thinking about this fic!

Second, I just looked at the instrumental play list and saw Takedown by Tom Player. Tom Player is one of my absolute favourite composers, so that made me very happy. From Tom Player, I also really like Axis, Gravity, Desolation, and Resonance Theory. All of them except for Resonance Theory are in my Instrumental Evil playlist (I know, I'm deranged), and all of them are in my Instrumental Epic playlist. I have no idea what my point is. Sometimes brains says what brain wants without explaining it to me.

Anyways! Super excited for future updates, I absolutely love this fic. I've been reading it out loud to my younger brother (with some mild censoring), and he loves it too! He's the only one who'll listen to me rant about TMNT, so I very much appreciate him. Thanks for giving me yet another outstanding fanfiction to injure my throat with! /lh

bro i LOVE LOVE LOVE making AMVs in my head to OST-esque music so i Get You. I don't think I put any 'Really Slow Motion' songs on my playlist but you def should check them out if you don't know them yet!!

and omfg

the fact that you're sharing my fic with your little brother really warms my heart because when I was little, my older sister (who's writing Reciprocity btw) would retell her favorite fanfics to me on car rides and they're one of my fondest memories. I'm seriously so happy my fic is entertaining enough to share like that ;w;!!!

(also omg i hope it's not too hardcore for him i'm glad you're making a bit more PG lol)

So I recently returned to playing Runescape 3 because I've wanted a bit of a break from ESO and also because I actually want to try to understand the game. Now, I will say the the past few session in Runescape 3 I have been enjoying myself but there are two major negatives I have here. Those negative are:

Reason #1 why is feels like I am not really playing a game is that when it comes to questing, I am CONSTANTLY having to alt+tab (no I don't have two monitors) out to desktop and then to a Chrome tab with whatever quest I am on opened on the Runescape Wiki because RS3 itself doesn't have this really helpful function called quest tracking for anything outside of tutorial quests. To me, knowing what I am doing in a quest should not come down to me having to solely rely upon an external website. ESO gives you quest makers on the map and shows and tells you where you are going and what you are doing. RS3 can't even be bothered to tell me what I need to do for a quest, it'll just say the name of the quest with "complete this quest" below that and that bugs me that there's no list of quest objective without going to the RS3 Wiki. It feels more like RS3 Wiki the game to me.

Reason #2 why it feels like I am not playing a game is the auto combat thing just takes so much away from the game. It reminds me a lot of those auto battler mobile games that I really do not. You walk up to an enemy and your characters starts fighting and you can literally sit back and just not even pay all that much attention to the fight save for making sure you don't die. Fight also take way too long if you ask me. I get that my character isn't really high level but I don't think it should take my character five minutes to kill a cow because I need its beef and that cow shouldn't have done 200 damage to me. I just wish that the combat was a little more action orientated like it is in ESO. Even the manual combat mode makes it feel more akin to doing combat in SWTOR which isn't all much better. I guess that combat in RS3 is just always going to be boring and lackluster because that's how it was in original Runescape.

Now, a really minor thing that sometimes the world map is pretty useless. Even though I have it selected to show me where things like lodstones and quest starts are, the world map just plainly doesn't do that and it also doesn't show the names of towns on the world map either and that seems like a really basic thing to NOT have on a world map.

Recent Discovery Of Something I Find Extremely STUPID: So before making this edit I ended with a sentence about how I'd see how member stuff affects the game and OMFG it affects the game a lot. What does make sense is that DLC areas are only able to be access by members much like how those who subscribe to ESO+ get access to all the DLC content that isn't base game, that, to me, makes sense. What make so sense at all is when you have SPECIFIC QUESTS in the areas that any player can access, regardless of if they are or are not a member, that are quests that can ONLY be completed IF YOU ARE A MEMBER. WTF kind of tactics is that to get people to buy your stupid membership??? Like, not sorry, but there are very things that would make me WANT to pay for a RS3 membership. I'd sooner fork out $120 for all the DLC I don't have in Guild Wars 2 than be even a single month member in RS3. Honestly, having member specific quests in areas that can be accessed by all players is stupid.

Now, just keep in mind that these are MY reasons why Runescape 3 is just a bit lacking. Now, I am going to keep playing it because, as I said, I am starting to enjoy myself in RS3 but those are just some changes that I'd personally make to it to make it a little bit better of a game. I do find it funny that a lot of people think that why Runescape 3 doesn't attract many new players is because of the dated look of the graphics and like, to me, if your MMO has good storytelling and good combat, then I don't really care about the graphics of the game.

Hello, I recently started playing MeChat (thats a lie. I played the game like a year ago but then got bored) and so I figured that it might be fun to do something similar to my "would I slap this character?" posts but with MeChat instead. Because fuck it, I do whatever the hell I want. But instead of slapping, its "would I date this character?" But only the ones I've "swiped right" on because there is way too fucking many. So let's get into it!

Key:

❤ - I would date them

💔 - I woule NOT date them

❓ - Unsure/Don't know enough about them

PHOTOS DO NOT BELONG TO ME! THEY BELONG TO THE CREATORS OF MECHAT!

1.) Kai Winters

- I literally only matched him because his name is the same as the one I use on the game. And all I remember is that he's a vampire and when his storyline "ends", he leaves the player for his ex or something. Bitch ain't loyal so... 💔

2.) Oliver Ortiz

- I matched with Oliver for the dog. I dont even really like dogs. Im 80% sure he dumps the player because his scholarship is more important, but I respect that ��

3.) Evan Mills

- I genuinely don't remember anything about him or why his storyline "ends." But he's cute? 💔

4.) Noel Moulin

- Literally one of my favorites. Noel is like- the perfect man?? Incredible boyfriend and friend material?? His story is so sweet and engaging, with just the right amount of drama sprinkled in ;). I hope his story is continued soon, gotta know whether Jason's dead or not. ❤

5.) James Berrybell

- Im so in love with his design. The pierings, the long dyed hair, the tattoos, the nails, his fashion, ugh just take me 😍 I'm not really into the whole fuckbuddies or friends with benefits deal, but I'll take anything he's willing to offer. Especially because his story is so intriguing, and the sex scene in the alley was kinda hot. Silently hoping that MC is not AFAB or is at least on birth control with the amount of times James came inside 😅

The real downside to his story is that he lets shit go to his head after he starts gaining attention with his music. I really hope James fucking opens his eyes because I really do like him and want a happy ending there. ❤

6.) Eichi Hirano

- If you're looking for a sugar daddy, here he is. Rich businessman Eichi will spoil you as long as you're down to relieve his stress. Literally, first date and he already fucked MC into the mattress. Lost count of how many times I've disappointed him with my refusal to indulge in toys lol. He's cute, but I wouldn't date him 💔

7.) Gray Grimshaw

- Literally so gorgeous?? And he's a blind artist who advocates for disabled people and is really kind? Take me, please. I'm disabled myself, in more ways than one, so I always love some good representation ❤ And I'm genuinely enjoying Gray's storyline.

8.) Eddie Odonnell

- The slowburn hurts. Eddie's so pretty and he's so kind, sweet, and fun to be with that this slowburn romance hurts. He's either obliviously dense or trying to let MC off easy, I don't know which. Leaning towards dense because he admits to having no romantic experience ❤

9.) Martin Dixon

- The amount of drama here?? Like, I'm sorry. Love the non binary representation, a bit iffy on the field sex, not interested in dating a criminal. Am interested in seeing their story continued. I originally wrote a long rant about how I hated the sprite because some of them, very few, look like they breathe and I thought Martin was one of them. I was wrong 😅💔

10.) Joel Troy

- So sweet and cute, omfg. Not a fan of adrenaline myself but I can appreciate an adventrous man. He's also very understanding so like- perfect boyfriend material??? Making out on a first date is a bit iffy for me but then agajn, I've never been on a date or kissed anyone. Yes, I've been in two relationships but never went on a date or kissed them. I had my reasons-

This is not all of the characters that I've personally matched with. The list grows everyday 😅 But I can only do 10 photos per post so there'll be more soon! And yes, I do intend on doing a "would I slap this character?" for MeChat and a "would I date this character?" for ikemen series, but have patience. I'll get to it when I get to it.

do you have any fav haikyuu characters??

i gasped so hard bc this is the first time someone asked abt haikyuu here 😳 i have so many favorite haikyuu characters, i can't help it :< i think i can list five of them (not in a particular order tho)!

kenma — he is my current comfort character. i know people will criticize me bc kenma is one of the feral characters in hq but that's why i absolutely love him. i relate to him in a way where even tho it's way out of my comfort zone, i still winged it and entered a completely new routine (cough softball club cough even tho it lasted for a month bc of my anemia). if ever season 5 releases, i'll be the happiest bc i get to see him on my screen again 🥺

oikawa — i relate to him the most, that's why. he is so well-written that sometimes i see myself in him? if that makes sense. i don't play volleyball but i work myself to the brink of exhaustion for perfection (now, i have an aching wrist bc of studying and drawing). bc i fully understood his character past the pretty boy looks he was known for, i find myself rooting for him instead of the japan team in the final chapter. he has a special place in my heart bc not only was he my first crush in hq, he also made me realize that people who don't have innate talent can still make it big in the near future.

noya — ah, the one i'm really in love with dniejdkd he was the only name i could blurt out when i was in high school to the point that people from my class associate me with the name nishinoya 😭 i love him so much bc despite his aptitude in volleyball, he's still so humble like omfg he could've been a pro player but he chose to travel the world. i want that for me too 🥺

hinata — the sun himself. i adore his character so much 🦋 when the ballboy arc came around, i legit cried bc he's so positive. if it were someone else, they would've given up but hinata chose to strive no matter how many times he was shot down. like oikawa, he proved that people who aren't born with talent can still stand in the stage of their dreams.

aran — the first time i saw him, i fell in love. i don't have a deeper reason for loving him but all i know is that whenever he scores a point or appears in an episode or manga panel, i get butterflies 🦋

[jayflrt]

05.      hc’s.

dylan was a football player in high school, believe it or not. he was rather good at it too, which is sort of jarring considering his pacifistic nature. however, he DID land on someone incorrectly at some point during his senior year, and broke their wrist. he quickly abandoned the sport altogether because of how guilty he felt. 

touched on this briefly but dylan really… loves indiana jones lmao. like, it’s quite ironic given his absolutely inability to be a badass, and lack of suaveness. however, he admires indy’s lust for adventure. he also was obsessed with the mummy as a kid. both of these were incredible sources in his very irrational decision to sudden anthropology. however, he does really love and admire anthropology. his favorite ethnography is the spirit catches you and you fall down, which makes him cry like a little bitch every time he even thinks about it. 

he’s the second oldest, but he is also baby. he is SUCH a big momma’s boy. he misses his mom so much. he writes to her often, and of course calls her even more. despite being six-foot tall, he still goes home and rests his head on his mother's lap, falls asleep as she runs her fingers through his hair. he often tries to find native english plants and flowers to press, and mail back to his mother in the form of bookmarks. has nEVER STEPPED ON A CRACK IN HIS LIFE, BABY.

just leaves a shit ton of notes in books in the library. some are riddles, some are poetry, some are commentary on the book, some are doodles. just depends on how he’s feeling for that book. he doesn’t tell anyone he does it, but he’s waiting for someone to connect the dots with his handwriting and writing style. 

speaking of plants, his room is basically a big greenhouse. he has so many plants, and takes serious care of them all. he has a little humidifier in his space for them, marks down when he waters what plants, and has a label maker to label them all with a name. they are all named after shakespeare characters. 

dyl is a doodler, so much so that he contributes to the school paper as a cartoonist. his cartoons are usually just random thoughts he has, but sometimes they get political and he works marxism into them. (this man loves marx.) 

[ suicide implied tw, death mention tw ] he dresses like a victorian boy in love with his roommate who has recently died of scarlet fever and in his mourning, plans to disappear in the bog by the school by mysterious circumstances and become a ghost that haunts the college with his lover. like lots of gray and slacks and ties ands ties and sweaters, lol. also he has glasses that he never wears because he can never find them! catch him squinting in your classroom because he can’t see SHIT. too shy to ask you for your notes though, doesn’t wanna inconvenience you! but when he’s Out on the Town®, he fucking wears like, tacky patterned shirts that are expensive but ugly. someone please help him. 

all about fun socks! he loves owning socks that have dumb little images on them. if you get him a pair of fun socks, he’d absolutely go nuts. his entire week: made. 

he leaves his roommate limericks when he senses they are sad. tapes em to the bathroom mirror or leaves them in the fridge. also loves buying people presents. tiny ones. like haunted looking things from second hand stores, or your favorite chocolate. also is the sort of friend that has EVERYTHING in his bag, in case someone cuts themselves or has a headache. can be a bit of a mom himself. it’s the little things, y’know? 

prob still in his emo phase. listens to way too mcr to not be lmao.

eco-friendly king, will not stand for you not recycling. 

if you will allow him, he will attempt to have a secret handshake with you. he’s a child. is dying for someone to memorize the parent trap handshake and indulge him. 

cannot sit still in a chair. fidgets an excessive amount, the bobbing of his knee and the squirming around. it just never ends. 

bi. that’s the hc.

he’s a little bit in love with everyone he meets if you couldn’t tell, and it’s fucking disastrous. 

he is based loosely off: patroclus ( the song of achilles ), ponyboy curtis ( the outsiders ), laurie laurence ( little women ), eduardo saverin ( the social network ), remus lupin ( hp ), oliver marks ( if we were villains. )

enough waiting for the next bayern game let's have some fun (because our team loses sometimes but simp nation never does):

who, in your opinion, are our prettiest players, past or present? without considering things like personality/playing ability/loyalty etc. i would really just like to know who you think are the ones who could Get It based on looks alone

have a lovely day and i look forward to your liveblogging as always 🥰😊

omg... alright buckle in because my ass has no standards and many names to list here we go 💆🏻‍♀️

1. xabi. sexiest bayern player sexiest man alive etc etc that is a Man. he looks like he would build me a home and provide for me and that really strikes a chord in my body for those moments when feminism leaves it. hot, respectful, keeps his mouth mfing shut i never hear shit about him, and his temper problems on the pitch were also extra sexy when i wasn’t thinking about beating his ass for risking a red card. good memories. also i met him! and he is indeed very beautiful irl 

i’m not doing a ranking. i don’t know why i assigned number one to xabi but let’s keep going

mats, the infamous snake. there’s not a lot to say. he’s hot. he knows it. everybody knows it. he upped our collective squad’s hotness by several points when he was here... miss him why lie

leon is probably the biggest crowdpleaser in our current squad especially with his whoring i mean thirst trapping i mean Photographic Gifts For The Audience. i’ve had a 100% success rate getting people who know fuck all about football and do not care to know any more than that hooked on leon it’s actually absurd omfg personally, even pre-hulkretzka era, i always thought he was cute but whatever. another cute white boy. let’s keep it moving. now he’s pushing my taste for ripped dudes just because he is So Ripped but i won’t lie and say a few brain cells didn’t die that time he ripped his own jersey just by breathing. there are actually several photos of him which live in my head rent-free... but imo i like him more for his personality ... still including him because everyone is in love with him and because he is kind of undeniably conventionally attractive

lucas is hot in that fuckboy way that tells me to keep a 500 meter distance for emotional safety. obsessed with him and his huge ears. even his son has his ears it’s so cute...

and now my precious baby marc... he exudes boyfriendism. the most endearing smile ever. he looks like a sweetheart i would walk into oncoming traffic for him. also he has some range! goes from baby boy to very fine babe. i’ve sat and stared at this pic for long stretches of time before god bless

other sexy people: lewy (who, like leon, is testing my limits re: Rippedness but. he’s still hot idc), poldi (do you remember that video of him working out and his dick is just flopping about. what a moment), thiago (i miss him </3), and manu (phat ass nice arms... looks like he could do unspeakable things ... anyway)

i think benji is another crowdpleaser (tbt his Rise during wc18) because he’s Yet Another Cute White Boy and bitches here love to eat up a boy with some curls... can’t blame them though i think he’s cute but he’s another i like more for his personality... has a lot of himbo potential imo. if i only saw him on the street though i would think he was a cute basic bitch and move on i’m sorry 🤭

serge and his phat ass takes the cake though everybody please clap for my joke thank you ... i love him. he has kind eyes and a cute smile and of course. his dumptruck ass. a gift from god

ok. my last mention... there’s probably other hot bayern players i’ve forgotten that i will regret not including later but i’m ending it here on james.  i know he is ... controversial ... because some fans thought he didn’t seem 100% dedicated to bayern and his comments after leaving us didn’t help that impression but i don’t care. i was in love with that man i will always have a soft spot for that man and he is yet another madrid player i will forgive for his crimes. i almost bought his jersey too i miss that dude... cutest smile ever makes my heart do cartwheels. also i think about this moment in that video of him and thiago so often... he just sparks joy. babe. total babe

also ... what’s the consensus here on pizarro...... because to me there’s just Something About Him........

anyway anon thank you for this ask this was fun! but mostly thank you just for thinking to ask me this and being interested in my answer that’s just really sweet of you i appreciate it 😭 and double thank you for caring about my liveblogging ily omg

Maria watches friday night lights (#33)

I’m back, I’m back! So here’s what happened...I watched 5x10 on October 1, never edited my note about it, then ended up taking an inadvertent break from watching until now. Idk why, but i needed a break from like...watching tv i hadn’t seen before. Anyone else have that habit of watching things you’ve already seen when you’re going through an anxious period? Starting a new job in the same month as the 2020 presidential election fit the bill, and i wanted to really immerse myself in the final three episodes of this amazing show properly so i decided to wait until i was feeling it! Anyway to the like three people who enjoy my recaps, i hope you enjoy these last four recaps.

So without further ado, aforementioned Oct 1 recap, now edited and underneath the cut:

5x10 yoooo I have never been so amused by Buddy Garrity in my life + TIM so here we go:

TIM RIGGINS RETURNS?! Yay!!! (This is my reaction just from seeing him in the “previously on.”)

Eric’s getting recruited at a ~fancy~ restaurant! Oh shitttt

“That, right there, marks the end of the East Dillon Lions football program led by Coach Eric Taylor.” “...It’s a crate of oranges.” “Yeah, and it’s from the sunshine state. From Florida! And that can only mean one thing—year round sunshine and college funding.” Lmao alarmist Buddy is hilarious and actually not wrong here. Lol incredulous Levi: “you got all that from a crate of oranges?!”

#OperationGetTimOut!! Is Eric going to speak for him as a character witness?

I *knew* that phone call from Oklahoma Tech wasn’t gonna be good. Ohhhhh Vince you should’ve listened to Eric~~~

Oh shit everyone’s buzzing about “losing their kingmaker” and it’s playoff time! Love a good car radio scene. “So how was it honey, are we moving to Florida?” Lol

“Dad, maybe we should just talk to Coach. I need to be focused on this game on Friday night, getting my spot back.” Yes Vince stand up for yourself, take a break from those meetings! I am fearful of his dad’s true reaction tho.

“Expelling Epyck, that was a good start.” Omfg some of these teachers are too cruel! That is a severely traumatized child, ma’am!

“Impromptu speeches...” “Impromptu means not planned, Buddy.” “Okay, then promptu.” I’M LIVING for these Buddy and Levi interactions omg hilarious.

“A man can’t leave if you erect a statue in his honor.” “A plaque?” “You got money for that?!” I cannot omfgggg Levi and Buddy should take this show on the road!

Tami’s “Oh Levi you are too much.” That’s a nice way to say “fuck you” for making her take a personal day to go speak on a panel he TOLD her she’s speaking at? Smh this is why staff needs unions.

Lmao Buddy is being so extra with Eric, I can’t

...and enter Billy, here to ask Eric a favor...

“Tim Riggins? One of the best fullbacks in the great state of Texas? The boy my girl fell in love with? Yeah I’ll do that.” Damn Buddy has a crush on Tim Riggins too!! I get it dude same.

“I believe in loyalty, Billy. Sticking with your people, through good and bad.” SO EXTRA LMAO

“Hey coach you going to Florida?” “I was planning on going home and I suggest you do too, Tinker.” Ugh poor Eric having to deal with all of these rumors and the team being endlessly curious right before the playoffs!

Awww Tami’s excited about the Florida houses. “Three years with a two year option.” Damn. Aw the way that Eric looks at Tami and you know he wants to give her everything she wants 🥺

Omggg now Buddy is making the players talk up Eric Taylor 😂 his scheming truly kills me

Becky and Luke tossing a football, so precious!

Ah, there’s more to life than college football, Luke! “No one wants me.” “I want you.” Aww Becky.

Aw Billy is getting so frustrated trying to write his speech for Tim. “It sounds ridiculous.” “No it doesn’t. You’re a good brother.” Oh Mindy 🥺 fuck prisonssss he should not feel like his words have so much bearing on his brother’s literal freedom!

Yes to Vince going to Eric and agreeing to earn his way back! That’s the Vince we know and love!

I love Eric telling Tami about Tim’s parole hearing. “You going to do it?” “You bet i’m going to do it.” My heart! The way there’s no question about it 🥺

Andddd Vince’s dad predictably refuses to let up with the recruiters. But this time Vince is standing up to him!

Yesss Vince, walk away! Especially after his dad yelled at him like that; this is not your life, it’s Vince’s!

“Don’t whack her. Just a little love tap.” LMAO Luke, Tinker, Becky, and a pig. Luke is giving Tinker pageant advice for Tinker at a competition with the pig?? I can’t, that’s weirdly so cute. Becky clearly finds it cute.

Omg Tim in his all-white prison uniform I HATE THISSS

OMGGGG “I don’t want Billy to speak, he’s done enough damage.” Fuck this is gonna fuck Billy UP. But also fair...I mean, Billy DOES tend to be a fuck up?? Isn’t that how we got here?

Yessss Tami going off explaining that standardized testing isn’t the end all be all!!

“what would you have us do, meet with every kind in the state?” “Yes I would.” to a round of applause. GO OFF QUEEN TAMI TAYLOR

Yes Coach Taylor! Give us one of your epic speeches!

Poor Tim looks like he has a lot of self hatred sitting here listening to Eric talking about him 🥺

“I asked him to be an assistant coach because of his character off the field.” YES

lol Buddy Garrity getting up to speak even tho he’s not on the list 🤣

“He’s like family to me.” OH BUDDYYYY he’s coming through with a full time job for Tim when he comes out?????? Tim’s smile of relief.

“It’s time for you to let Tim Riggins come home.” YESSSSS

AW Tim sent Eric letters from prison?? My poor babe. “I’m sorry I didn’t visit more.” “I’m sorry I let you down.” “You didn’t and that’s not why I’m here.” IM EMOTIONAL

Holy shit Vince’s dad is STILL not letting up? “I’m your father. I know what’s right.” “that is enough! Get off his back!” “He needs a father, not an agent!” YES REGINA GO OFFFFF she finally snapped!

(It’s wild how Coach possibly leaving is being used in this fight in Vince’s family. Oh, Dillon!)

Oh shit Billy is yelling at both Becky and Mindy, clearly very affected by what Tim said at his parole hearing. “You did everything you could and that makes all the difference.” Aww Mindy, and Billy apologized! Too much stress for such a young family! Also unrelated but Mindy looks mad hot for the athletic banquet.

Awww I love getting to see the other teams stand up. Yeah cross country, yes girls volleyball!!!

Man, playing a sport in Texas that’s not football must suck, look at that insane applause for football vs. weak for everyone else

Buddy giving Gracie a lil t-shirt and saying, “clear eyes, full hearts...you know it?” And they’re all like “can’t...lose” and Gracie giggles! Ok that’s cute af

Omg the tension between Jess and Vince!! “Jess, I miss you. I miss you.” 🥺 aw yeah she blew him off for her brothers

Wow they made it to the playoffs for the first time in 25 years?? Well here comes Buddy’s All Hail Eric Taylor pageant. Lmao

Awww these heartfelt addresses from the team members on how much Eric Taylor has changed their lives??? Manipulative, Buddy, really. He knows what he’s doing.

Yesss Eric, give Tami that massage. See y’all, this is what being a good man looks like.

“It had the desired effect. It sure made you think twice about leaving Dillon.” “It’s a hell of an offer. I’d own that building. They have funding.” “Mmm and oranges. Don’t forget about oranges.” “Mmm that pool.” They wanna leave.

“You know what I want more than anything right now? I wanna bring these boys to state.” “I know you do.” “They deserve it.” “I know they do. But after you do that, this offer is something to think about. Because you deserve that.” Ugh I know I say it a lot but since we’re in the final four episodes now and I’m mostly talking into the void anyway — god, what a model of a wonderful and gentle and loving and communicative marriage! I am continually floored!

Becky with cowboy boots at Luke’s farm works. And ooh Luke’s mom said hi to her?? Progress!!

Aw they’re talking about how pretty they find Luke’s farm as he tries to imagine a future here in Dillon. “I have an amazing imagination. I see your next game, and you’re winning.” Awww Becky is such a cute girlfriend.

What a cute shot of Luke and Becky on the farm, “you ever think you could imagine living on a farm?” “Sure.” AWWW

Vince at Eric’s door on game day?!!! He’s asking Eric not to take the offer to Shane State when he’s supposed to already be at the field house!?!

“Having you as a coach is one of the best things to happen to me. I don’t know where I’d be without you. Either in jail or in a ditch somewhere.” Damn forget Buddy this shit is from the HEART

Eric tells him to get in the damn car and tells him he’s starting!! “You know what your problem is? You ask too many damn questions.”

AHHHHH TIM IS HOME! Showered in a flannel! My heart! He salutes Becky with a beer!

Aww Billy is so excited to have his brother home.

It seems uneasy in the home. Coming back from prison is hard.

And here they go, heading onto the bus with signs and cheers!

“I’ll tell you, this is an away game, but you look around here at the community tonight and the young players that I have playing for me, and the character they got—no matter where this community goes, that’s home.”

Damn Eric just announced he was planning to stay home in Dillon to the press. “you’re full of surprises, aren’t you?” says Tami. “I love you.” and with the FNL theme song playing aghkliyb I’m not ready for the final three episodes ahhh!!!

konnichiwa, and welcome back to the classic “Matpat video notes from hell” series

yup we’re doing this again lol. just imagine noodle from gorillaz typing this up instead of alex and it’ll almost be just like last time! today (June 10, 2019) we’ll be watching “Game Theory: FNAF, You Were Meant To Lose (FNAF VR Help Wanted).” please note that in the thumbnail it says “don’t trust the tapes!” so you too can be mad at how he’s slandering tape girl like that. and, of course, THERE WILL BE SOME (MOSTLY MINOR) SPOILERS! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED. okay, video time!

-alright, starting off strong with a compilation of Poor Matpat (/s) and all the times he thought he’d made his last fnaf theory video (man i wish fnaf 4 was his last theory vid too)

-not even a minute in and we’ve already got some avengers endgame references smh

-jokingly calls fnaf vr “matpat insanity simulator” and MAN i WISH

-calls the game “an ~inflection~ point” like we get it you can use fancy words okay relax

-thinks there’s more games to come

-vr game supposedly is gonna lead us into “FNAF: The Next Generation” (bro if you’re gonna come up with a name for a list games we don’t even know are gonna exist, at least be creative with it come on)

-”the meatiest game in the fnaf library” with I SHIT YOU NOT an awful graphic of freddy’s head over a disgusting pile of “ground meat” with a big yellow sun-shape with red text that says “NO FAT!” JFC MATT WHY!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!! also y’all are welcome, i definitely took that bullet for you

-i’m only two minutes into a 23:39 video why did i sign up for this i’m gonna die

-oh joy he actually played it on gt live /s

-BRO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT VOICE HE DID FOR THE PUPPET

-experience of the game is to “recreate the brand” and “clear its name” or w/e

-OMFG HE LITERALLY WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE MONEY SOCK COTTON WAS MAKING ON MERCH ONLY TO STOP AND TALK ABOUT HIS OWN FUCKING MERCH SEND HELP GET ME OUTTA HERE IM GONNA GO F E R A L

-he’s really going out of his way to say “THESE shirts are for the LADIES and THESE shirts are for the MEN” SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT

-seriously man we already knew you were a Gender Binary Cop but this is ridiculous

-there’s game theory underwear. apparently. if i had to suffer through that fact so do you.

-”if you’re a fan of all the hard work we put into each and every one of our videos” WOW matt i had know idea how hard it was to steal other people’s work and ideas for your half assed theories!!!1!!11!!!

-god he makes it sounds like his theory gear is like donating to a charity absolutely unbelievable

-by the way, that ad for his own merch was from 3:32-4:18 and that’s almost a full minute (though trust me, it felt like so much longer)

-quiero matar ese hombre (translation: i wanna kill that man)

-OH. OH HE DID NOT.

-[insert stream of cursing in multiple languages that i cannot be bothered to type out here]

-this little white bitch really just said that there was only one important character missing in the vr game–golden freddy

-“noodle!” i’m sure you’re saying. “there’s nothing wrong with matt saying that!” oh no, that wasn’t the bad thing he said. ohhh no.

-and i quote: “i mean, ballora isn’t around here either, but you know i said ‘IMPORTANT’ [voice saying “buh-buh-baom!”, explosion sfx, air horn sfx]”

-気持ち悪い！(disgusting!)

-me parece que el quiere ser un hombre muerto (it seems to me that he wants to be a dead man)

-anywayyyys back to golden freddy: she’s not in the game because she’s chillin in hell with william afton APPARENTLY

-あの、ちょっと・・・(um, not really…)

-oh excuse me, she’s in hell with william to torture him, not chill with him

-also like how we’re still assuming a lot of things /s

-man this is taking a while

-cassidy (golden freddy) never gives up her soul, proves along with scrap baby plush that help wanted takes place after pizzeria simulator

-franchise is trying to rebuild itself after yknow, a dude going on a child killing spree

-talks about the following malhare ending

-yeah we aint gonna talk about what he calls malhare

-third appearance of the name “jeremy” in the games

-says he’s put the tapes in a “cohesive narrative” order (hah, how much do we wanna bet he’s wrong?)

-lol doesn’t say the order so he can’t be called out on his bullshit (i’m too tired to try and actually piece this shit together)

-this mf really 1) called jeremy crazy 2) or maybe that he’s “just a fnaf youtuber” and 3) PUTS UP A GRAPHIC OF HIM AND MARK GIVING EACH OTHER A HIGH FIVE. bold of you to assume you deserve to be near him mister patthew.

-[GORE WARNING] his take on the jeremy incident (you know the one, it was mentioned in the tapes) is that the ink is blood and jeremy DID cut his face off with the paper cutter. if you’re here from the fnaf discord server, you were probably around when we all discussed that this was unlikely.

-oh wow he really just tried to tie that in with the bite of 87 huh

-he’s convinced jeremy dies (spoiler: we don’t–and neither do a fair bit of people)

-really blaming tape girl for the fact that she didn’t warn about not collecting the tapes until the fifteenth tape huh

-talks about all cassettes collected endings, and how you “lose” no matter what in any of the three endings

-thinks the player is destined to lose the game

-mentions inconsistencies and oddities in the tapes

-i.e. how tape girl introduces herself twice—in tape one and tape fifteen

-how she says in tape sixteen that she knows there’s a way to kill malhare when she can’t possibly be sure, because she clearly hasn’t done it herself (malhare wouldn’t exist otherwise.)

-as in, she’s secretly trying to get you to release malhare instead of killing him

-thinks malhare melded with her conscious after she tried to delete the audio files and then attempted to escape by making the next playtester release malhare

-meanwhile the player is stuck while malhare takes over their body

-thinks that maybe the player waits until the next playtester comes along and loses their consciousness, which lets the player out

-says that putting together the tapes is like putting together the petscop lore

-wonders how many williams are out there--could the ai be replicating itself into multiple people--but admits yeah probably not

-”but that’s just a theory.. a game theory” or w/e the fuck he says

-insert ancient meme about fnaf storyline here bc he was too lazy to make a graphic or w/e

-oh wait no he wants to talk about jeremy haha still gotta sit through this for another minute or so

-random appearance of shadow freddy he found, malhare has three toes (ffs sake not the toe theories again i thought we were done with that crap) like the footprints outside afton house in fnaf ps midnight motorist minigame

-lovelyyy he’s gonna make another video after “thinking” shit over

-”scott cawthon is the villain in his own game” OKAY WHATEVER IDGAF

-i hoped you enjoyed these because they were legitimately the second or third worst experience of my life and i’m really not exaggerating

[naanima]

One of the interesting things about reading and listening to so much hockey media stuff is that there's a HIGH chance of them being WRONG about teams & players, or just being wrong. A list of things that I remember the hockey specialists have been wrong about in the past year or two.

Matthew Tkachuk trade & the Panthers' narrative - ALMOST everyone said it was a bad trade for Florida, that Calgary won. That they shouldn't have given up Huberdeau et al. That Tkachuk was only good bcos of the line he was playing on during his time in Calgary. Now - face of a franchise, team darling, came back from a broken sternum & now killing it now.

The Panthers are bad, they are done for, they are a wildcard, they will get swept by Boston etc 22-23. Stanley Cup Finalist 22-23, top ranking team 23-24, one of the Cup favs. And the Flames. Yeah.

The Oilers at the beginning of this season - THEY ARE DEAD, THEY ARE DONE ETC. Now - STANLEY CUP CONTENDERS!

The Flyers are gonna tank! Flyers are in a playoff spot (23-24), whether they keep it or not is another question. BUT NO one thought they would be as high as they are now.

Boston is gonna be bad in 22-23, Boston highest regular season performances 22-23. Losing their captain and some top players will mean they will slide substantially backwards. STILL one of the TOP teams 23-24.

The Devils are not ready yet 22-23, makes it to the second round of the playoffs. The Devils are HERE 23-24! Fighting for a wildcard position that's not looking too hot.

The Canucks are not great 22-23, they have so many problems. Here's hoping they make minor improvements in 23-24. The Canucks top 3 teams of the fucking league 23-24.

The Ducks are going to be a much better team! The Ducks are NOT a better team oh gods.

The Sharks will tank! OMFG the Sharks are so MUCH WORSE than tanking.

The Sens are gonna be a STANLEY CUP CONTENDING TEAM, a playoffs team at least! The Sens are not either of those things.

Duchene is bad news, a locker room cancer! Duchene fucking lighting it up in Dallas! Providing that spark for Seguin & Marchment!

Buffalo Sabres have arrived! Buffalo Sabres have NOT arrived, they have missed their appointment by years.

Red Wings - the rebuild is over! ... The rebuild is what it is.

The Blackhawks will be bad but they got Bedard and some support they will be ok-bad! The Blackhawks are the first mathematically team to be locked out of the playoffs.

The Pens will be a middling team! The Pens are shit. They are dead, there's no future for them etc etc (as a Pens fan I'm delusional in thinking we are gonna WIN the 24-25 Cup).

I feel like this is sort of the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, the hockey media gets a lot of things right. But OMFG the IMPORTANT things they fucking get wrong every season is insane. ALL the teams I mentioned could potentially have a reversal the next season. Bcos hockey is a weird and unpredictable sport a lot of the time!

When unexpected things happen hockey media try and push it into a nice thematically appealing narrative when the story shifts on them. We are all guilty of this.

For all the depressed hockey fans out there, just remember, you NEVER know, your team/player could suddenly become the story that the hockey world gets wrong!

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Okay I also have so many Thoughts on Rise so if you want someone to rant to, I’m definitely here lol

My official Thoughts™

Okay so first off I’m pleasantly surprised I didn’t hate it as much as I was expecting? Lol I didn’t wanna watch at all because it seemed too dramatic, like something I would’ve eaten up in high school but I’m too tired to deal with these days. But my mom made me watch it with her and it definitely wasn’t as bad as I expected lol

What…was UP with the camera work????? I was loosing my mind over it omfg. Sometimes normal, sometimes shaky, and we had like three or four dramatic documentary zoom-ins ala Parks and Rec or the Office??? Why was that happening??? They were all in dramatic moments but it was so fucking funny I couldn’t handle it.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, when the coach asked ‘are you a teacher or a director’ and Josh Radnor was like ‘well, both’ and then it zoomed in on the coach as he cut off ‘Actually, no, you’re a teacher’. Like. That was clearly supposed to be dramatic but it was PEAK comedic timing. My mom and I were cackling we almost missed the rest of the scene omfg

That principal is a mess??? Giving one dude the drama department just because he doesn’t like the other teacher, and then???? Approving the show before he READ it???? Allowing a coach to try to bribe a kid’s bad grade away???? What in the Lord 

What….is with the troupe….of the Athlete having to pick sports or theater. Like literally what is that. It happens too often and I’ve never? Seen it happen in real life? Like I know you can’t apply your life experiences to everyone else’s but as someone who also went to a sports crazy high school in small town PA like….the senior sports™ boys went out for the musical every year??? Like every year there’d be at least 7 or 8 football or basketball or literally whatever players that were like ‘You know the fuck what, I’m a senior, I’m doing a musical now’ lmao. It was never dramatic or anything. Being in a play isn’t going to ruin someone’s sports career 

Okay so auditioning for a musical…doesn’t….work….as extra credit??? They wanted his grade raised and he wanted the kid in the show. The actual play the musical is based on has been picked apart and analyzed as a piece of literature so many times….so I could see ��If he does my musical and writes a report on the play, I’ll give him extra credit” or something to that effect but just. ‘Audition and all your Problems will go away’. Lord What. 

WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS SIMON KID.

Okay. Okay. The kid…is stereotypical ‘gay high schooler’ and we all damn well know that. Not my complaint. The thing was, bumping him down from Melchior to HANSCHEN made it SEEM like he was only getting cast as Hanschen because he’s The Gay™, because frankly, considering they were struggling to find boys, I would’ve initially put him as Moritz, from the brief scenes it seems like he could handle Moritz’s songs??? Moritz is the third lead and like, the fan favorite character, you’d wanna cast him pretty quick. And THEN they bust out he has a ““““““Very Religious”““““ family, like….really. Really. We’re doing that. Okay. Fine then. I can sit here and pretend I’ve actually met a homophobic Catholic person before if they’re at least gonna handle this well. But THEN. THEN. OKAY. We got that trailer for the full season at the end of the show and the kid playing Ernst said ‘Do you feel something when you’re with me’ and now….I see exactly what they’re doing….They’re having this kid play Hanschen while in real life he’s going to be in an Ernst-like situation….That’s so fucking cheesy and I haven’t yet fully decided how I feel about it??? I’m already tired tho. Anyway if someone hurts that boy I’m gonna go down to NBC with a baseball bat and start swinging. I can get in no problem. Just making that known.

Auli’i Cravalho….,,,we Stan

Her plot line seems a little muddled and Peak Dramatic right now but that scene near the end with her mother???? GIRL. KILL THEM.

Listen idk who the hell is playing the football player (Robbie was it?) but I already love him with my entire heart but like….the scene where he just started rapping at the pep rally….no one Does That lmao. Although I appreciate that he’s a lot less conflicted about joining the show than other athletes caught in this troupe before him? He was a little hesitant but it wasn’t Over The Top (looking at you, Troy Bolton). He seems really cute tho. I was Worried when he started rapping ‘All That’s Known’ but then he slid into actually singing and he was so good!! 

LMAO when they were doing the song montage and all they could do for ‘Totally Fucked’ was “BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH” I was cracking up

I liked that they appear to have established the football player is into the shy girl BEFORE they do the show. Like, it’s still cliché as all hell, but at least it’s not like ‘I never noticed you were pretty or a cool person before the stage lights were on you’ type deal bc that’s exhausting.

My mom was cracking up when Simon was telling his Religious Parents™ about the show at the dinner table aasdfgh like yet another clearly intended to be dramatic scene turned funny by the camera work and editing but also like it was so….like my mom isn’t familiar with Spring Awakening itself but she’s familiar with a lot of other ~~~edgy~~~ shows bc I’ve either been in them or gotten her to see them with me and like. I’ve worked in and on shows with kids who’s parents were SUPER against the shows material and the roles their kids played but no one ever like….stopped their kids from doing it??? And like his parents being against the stuff in the play is like….the Point of the play? And also if he already knows the script he’s already been Exposed to it, so it’s not like keeping him out of the show is gonna keep him pure or whatever?? Idk I really just don’t get why they’re bothering with that plotline tbh

Rosie Perez is always so over the top and I am always so okay with it

On that same branch though like…I know Josh Radnor loves giving impassioned speeches…but who….talks like that? Lol. Just everything he said sounded like they were trying to hard for that Big Dreamer Life Changer Teacher troupe you know???

Listen I GET why that one girl would be mad because she usually gets the leads but also….Ilse….has the better songs???? Like if someone cast me as Ilse I’d fucking cry I literally want to get a tattoo for the ‘I Don’t Do Sadness’ song bc it fucks with me so much lmao. ALSO…..I’m very interested in the whole thing with Auli’i character’s mother sleeping with her father and her thinking Auli’i is a ‘whore just like her mother’ since Wendla is the tragically innocent character in the show who was too sheltered to know anything about sex and Ilse is a victim of incest who dealt with it by acting out sexually….like it’s definitely not the same as what I’m expecting them to do with the reversed Hanschen/Ernst storyline but it’s interesting to see the parallels between them since they’ve clearly had very different upbringings when it comes to mature issues like that

Speaking of tho, Auli’i struggling with ‘Mama Who Bore Me’ until she had a big fight with her mom and can suddenly belt it to hell and back……come on

Let Me Tell You How Much I Cringed When The Teacher Outed Michael To The Entire Cast

Like, dude….you know that only like yourself and one other student knows he’s transitioning and he didn’t even tell you himself….Like yes he auditioned for a male role but he signed with his birth name like…The teacher had that list before rehearsal he literally could’ve just pulled the kid aside and asked him what he wanted to do??? I’m glad they didn’t film any of the other kids, like, caring or being weird about it though. That might be a delayed plot line but they all seemed relatively accepting so that definitely made the whole situation a little more bearable to watch

OF COURSE the lights kid is homeless….because there wasn’t enough drama

Don’t get me wrong like it’s definitely an important issue but that’s my problem with shows like this, they just Pile Everything On to the point where it’s so much like…

And then he took the kid home which we all saw coming but like, did you see the wife’s face??? He has a cell phone, he could have at least called to warn her. Their marriage seems stressed, they’ve got an emo ass son Going Through Some Ambiguous Problem That Has Lead To Drinking, and now they‘re moving a homeless kid in on top of it like. It just feels less like ‘real life’ and more like ‘how much drama can we pile into this for views’ and also it was a lot for literally the first episode? 

Who…has ever actually put on Pirates of Penzance….who has ever actually seen Pirates of Penzance….I’m not convinced it’s a real show lmao I laughed when he said he wanted to replace Spring Awakening with it what a JUMP

BURNING THE COSTUMES WAS SO FUCKING DRAMATIC ASDFGH WHO WOULD EVER?!?!?! I LOVED IT

Also though like why were they singing ‘I Believe’ for that part???? It definitely helped with the Drama And Aesthetic™ but it’s also. the rape song? Idk I think situation wise ‘Totally Fucked’ would’ve just been a better choice. They could have just done what the original broadway cast did on televised performances and changed it to ‘stuck’ lmao. Now, the moment definitely would’ve felt more….Glee-ish, with that song, so I guess they were trying to avoid that since this is a serious™ show but like again I just don’t see how ‘I Believe’ worked thematically

Also like the biggest problem this show had was PACING. Holy shit. This one episode felt like the entire season. Like literally…what else. What else can they do. These kids have apparently already been at it for weeks and are professional singers who have all the songs down for some reason. Like how many rehearsals do they have before the show??? Damn. They definitely could’ve slowed it down and dragged things out, it would‘ve felt a lot cleaner 

All in all tho….For a first episode I’d give it like a solid 7 or 8???? I’m interested enough to check out episode two but I’m also cautiously expecting to fall out of the show either because of the pacing or just them piling on too much drama just for the sake of it. What did you think???

[honeylikewords]

“This movie is really scary, but you’re into it so I’m trying not to cover my face the whole time, but- WHAT IS THAT?” This prompt Is totally Eddie omfg

anon you are so right and so valid thank you so much for saving my night

Eddie is a connoisseur of fine cinema. Or, rather, he likes to think he is. He watches broadly and with interest in many fields; he’s seen movies from hundreds of different genres and subgenres. He’s watched Soviet-era stop-motion films about dying cats. He’s watched a 1919 German silent film about living dolls. He’s watched documentaries about shoemaking. Films where all the actors have been replaced by cardboard boxes. Experimental films where there are no actors at all, just progressively decaying bowls of fruit.

He’s also watched every single Disney movie ever made. And every movie Dan Aykroyd’s been in. All 57 of them. For some reason.

But the one line that Eddie will not venture across is the line between thriller cinema and horror cinema. He’s tried a few movies, and he can handle stuff that’s more psychological and less gory, like Hitchcock movies or post-horror horror movies, like Get Out or A Quiet Place. But when his girlfriend asks if he’s ever seen things like “The Omen”, he gets nervous and kinda shifty, shrugging it off with a quick “oh, you know, I just get some of these titles mixed up sometimes, so I might’ve a long time ago--”

But the truth is that Eddie gets scared.

Really scared.

Like, stay up in his bed and hold his girlfriend’s hand and stare into the dark of his room scared.

And he hates admitting it because he’s a grown-ass man with big muscles and a loud, boisterous personality and he shouldn’t be a coward about these things, but he just doesn’t have the stomach for those kinds of movies.

So when his sweetheart comes home one day with a DVD copy of “Nightmare on Elm Street”, Eddie gets tense. He sits with rigid posture as he watches her put it in the DVD player, feels her sit by his side and put her head on his shoulder, and by now he’s too panicky to even move.

He’s trying to think of a way to get out of this: maybe, if he plays his cards right, he can make a run to the kitchen and “accidentally” flip a couple of switches to cause a fuse shortout--

A woman on screen screams so loud that Eddie can feel his sternum vibrate. By now, he’s sweating from his palms and all down the back of his neck, drenching the small of his back and his shirt is clinging to him like a second skin. His girlfriend looks up at him, eyes peering with concern.

“You okay, pumpkin?”

Eddie realizes he’s shivering a little. 

“Mmrfg,” he says through his clenched teeth. He’s not liking any of what he’s seeing playing on the TV. He wishes he could just bolt up and yank the wires out so he doesn’t have to see another drop of blood. 

He feels a smooth hand coaxing up and down his shoulders, briefly stopping in confusion when she encounters the wet patch down his back. She pats it and looks at him with worry.

“Honey, if this is upsetting--”

Without thinking, Eddie just blurts it all out, his words a breathless stream of rushed sounds.

“This movie is really scary, but you’re into it so I’m trying not to cover my face the whole time, but- WHAT IS THAT?”

He points at a hideous abomination on the TV and as suddenly as he’d reacted, the screen goes dark. Eddie leaps up in his seat, clenched with fear that whatever demonic entity it was that he’d just pointed at was now fooling with his electronics.

But he looks over at his sweetie and sees the remote in her hand, the upset expression she’s wearing. Ah, shit, he feels like a big ol’ clown, now. A big baby. He puts his hands over his eyes and sighs, uncoiling from the tension of the movie but now frustrated with himself for getting so worked up. He lays back on the couch and just groans into his hands.

“I am so sorry, darling, I’m so sorry. I wanted to, ya know, be reasonable and try something new for you but that was just awful.”

“Sweetie,” she coos, rubbing a hand on his tummy and making Eddie squirm a little with both a desire to be petted and a reaction to his ticklish nature, “You didn’t have to do that. I only put in the movie to, um, try that thing?”

“...What thing?”

“...The thing where I pretend to be scared and then lean on you and you start holding me and telling me you’re gonna protect me and then we end up making out.”

“...Oh my god.” Eddie giggles into his palms, suddenly flooded with embarrassment and joy at the same time. “That’s too cute.”

“Eddie, don’t laugh! It’s stupid!”

“Oh my god, honey, you didn’t even wanna watch the movie! You just wanted me to be your big man!”

“Uuuugh!”

She flops forward and buries her face in his belly, groaning as Eddie roars with laughter and hugs her close, his belly shaking from his deep laughs. They cuddle close, each branching into more laughter as the other incites them further and further.

When they’re tired out, Eddie pulls her up and rests her head on his shoulder, looking at her face carefully.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get to play the role of big strong man for you,” he murmurs, tracing a finger over her lips. “I think I ended up being the one needing a big strong someone to comfort me, instead.”

“I don’t mind,” she says. “I’ll do that for you, sweetie.”

Her hand brushes his hair softly and she pecks his forehead, pressing his face into her chest as she feels him curl into her body, pliant and in need of affection, protection. They lay together like that for a good, long while: Eddie curled around her like an oversized child, his eyes closed as he senses her all around him, safe and warm.

“I wouldn’t let anything happen, baby. I promise. I’m sorry I put that stupid movie on.”

“Ish okay,” he mumbles into her chest. “I like that ish led me ta’ holdin’ yew.”

“Me too.” She fingercombs his hair for a few moments longer, then sighs and rolls to check the clock on the DVD player. “Baby, it’s getting late. Let’s get you to bed.”

“Nuh. I wanna stay here. With the lights on.”

“No, come on. We can keep the lights on in the bedroom and you can hold me there, but you need to be in your bed. You know how you cramp up when you sleep on the couch.”

Eddie tries to go limp and deadweight himself so he can’t be pried from her body, but she’s smaller than him and more lithe, so she wriggles out of his grasp and puts her hands under his knees and back, trying to heave him up into her arms and fireman carry him back to bed.

“Come on, you fat lard,” she jokes, huffing with exertion. “Bedtime for baby.”

“NoOoOoO,” he whines. “Never!”

They carry on like that as she drags him off the couch and pulls him across the floor, the two of them wrestling and enduring a good bit of roughhousing-induced rug burns. But they don’t really mind: this is much better bonding than any stupid slasher movie could ever hope to be. They’re safe in the arms of the other, reminded that this is the only thing that’s real. There are no monsters, no terrors, no things that go bump in the night.

Just the big ol’ dorkus they’re play-fighting with and falling even deeper in love with.

OH HELL YEA CAST LIST TIME

let’s do some (inevitably wrong) first impressions, shall we?

(following is based on cast bios ONLY, haven’t watched any interviews

Steve: he’s either a derrick or a glenn and it’s a little hard to say which but im leaning towards glenn. that being said i agree with the whole “don’t have a strategy thing” because he’s right, this show can be too unpredictable. however, should have at least *some* outline about what he wants to do. wanna say he’s gonna make it at least to week 2

Sam: YOOOOOOOO WHY SHE GOT THE “I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER” HAIRCUT SHE’S ONLY 27 SHE’S TOO YOUNG FOR THAT. i get the distinct feeling mom won’t like her which means i almost certainly will. i like her strategy because. same. but also im intrigued that she called the show a social experiment cause like....it’s been so long since anyone’s really seen the show in that way. it’s kinda nice tbh. anyway imma keep an eye on her.

Haleigh: WHY DO I SUDDENLY HAVE AARYN FLASHBACKS OH HELL NO SHE THINKS DERRICK WAS *CUTE* ARE YOU *SHITTING ME* like okay imma feel bad if she’s actually decent but i mean. she’s from texas. and she likes derrick. which is the safest fucking choice man come ON. she’ll make it to jury before being backstabbed by an all-guy alliance tbh. sidenote: chainsaws and crossing the street are absolUTELY reasonable fears tbh.

Kaycee: okay i immediately wanna like her but why the hell is a pro football player in this game like what do THEY need the money for. i mean it’s not as bad as fr*nkie grande but still. well anyway she’s gonna be one of those women you THINK is gonna kick ass at physical comps but ends up giving it up to the guys who end up backstabbing her and HANG ON WAIT SHE LIKES *CODY*? FUCKING MCFUCKWAD *CODY*? OH HELL NO okay tbf if she just means from a game standpoint like. i *guess* but also there are just. so many other ppl u could choose cody is weak sauce as a choice. ALSO HOLD UP SHE GAY? THIS GIRL IS A ROLLERCOASTER FIRST I LIKE HER THEN I DON’T IDK IM SO ON THE FENCE WITH HER. then again mom probs won’t like her so im kinda obligated to ka;dshflkasdhflksadfk

Tyler: oh BOY. HE SAID HE’S “QUESTIONABLE” KHSALFHADSFLKA oh lord i can already tell ppl are gonna stan him cause he named victor zach and dan as his faves and like. maybe one outta three is good lmaoooo. (victor was okay i *guess* but zach? pfffffffffffft) im sorry it’s a no from me im not feeling it. curious to see if he’s gonna be sweet or if he’s a complete ditz.

Bayleigh: bayleigh and haleigh alright sure bbcasting. “i call ppl out irl” oh hell. she’s not gonna last. im sorry i wish she would but i already see them picking on her and sending her out. i really really really wanna be wrong but like do u SEE another black woman in the house. uggggggggggggggh not looking forward to the ugly shit they’re gonna say this season. fucking hell casting can u be more diverse pls im so tired of just seeing y’all fill spots with the usual suspects. anyway bayleigh has a sweet smile and i love that she chose donny as her fave; unfortunately ppl who choose donny never seem to make it far.

Kaitlyn: a life coach oh brother. “im gonna use my messages from my guides” oh LORD. okay she might be nice but she ain’t gonna last. honestly so far i think she’s gonna be the first to go.

Winston: this the one mom is probs gonna like (actually come to think of it maybe tyler too). he writes love notes to his dog? oh mom’s definitely gonna love him. KHAEIFHAEOFSFDL okay ryan reynolds i can kinda see but justin timberlake? who the hell saw THAT. anyway hard to read him but imma say a tentative yes cause i see potential

Angie: oh LORD. i shoulda known she liked joey cause soon as i saw her i was like well there’s joey sdajlhslhsdfl. she’ll get on with kaitlyn. maybe try and do an all-girls alliance? but like. ya gotta win comps to pull anything off. and i don’t see it. might actually be the first to go. next.

JC: holy SHIT i can’t tell u how glad i am he said he liked josh and not fr*nkie or zach. mom is almost certain to not like him so i gotta. do i think he’ll last? proooooobably not but we shall see.

Brett: okay no THIS is the one mom’s gonna like. oh my god he’s an IDIOT HE FUCKING SAID “TROPHY” TO DESCRIBE HIMSELF DJLAHODFHAEOIFEOIF MAYBE HE’S JUST CONCEITED IDK. vehement is a good word but like hmmmm not sure it’s a great character descriptor. oh god yea he IS conceited i HATE him so yea mom’s def gonna like him.

Angela: oh she gonna get with brett. she sees herself in rachel @god pls i would be so down for a rachel 2.0. anyway aside from her shit taste in men because im calling it now she’s gonna get with brett, i think i like her. she’s probs gonna be the worst woman this season tho lol

Scottie: hello oddball man u will never be dentist johnny though. oh man this guy’s gonna be annoying as hell. he likes evel dick which...i know y’all hate him and i understand why but i’ll be damned if he isn’t one of the most iconic players. anyway im fine with that hOWEVER IDC UR A 26-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN HE JUST WANTS TO GET SOME TAIL which actually he might with kaitlyn idk. anyway pass.

Faysal: i kinda like him but idk how well he’s gonna do. once again hard to read but i see potential.

Rachel: SPEAKING OF RACHEL 2.0. AND SHE’S ACTUALLY A VEGAS PERSON OMFG. oddly enough she likes britney oh man this is great yea sorry she’s top of my list just because i really really want her to be good and she probably won’t be bUT

Chris: gotta disagree that derrick is better than paul but aside from that i mean. he’s kinda right wrt paul? like would i say top 5? ...probably not but paul WAS a good player. a shitty person but a good player. do i think he was “robbed” of the half million? no dude blew up his own game TWICE he got what he deserved he’ll be okay. anyway. DUDE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BRING A NOTEBOOK IN THE HOUSE TOO BLESS. okay yea no i like him i think he’ll be underestimated and tbh i really wanna see him go far.

2019 Recap

January 

1/18: Bought my plane ticket back home to the motherland! 

Binge watched You season 1 — thanks, Kayla, for recommending it to me! 

Worked full-time during winter break because my work was severely understaffed (more $$$ yaasss)

As a result of working full-time, I also drank coffee on the daily. 🙃

Also binge watched The Hookup Plan on Netflix. 

First and only time my class was cancelled because of a snowstorm. 

The start of my second semester as a junior. 

Restarted watching Game of Thrones. 

February

Identity crisis. 

Bought tickets to see BLACKPINK in April. 

Obsessed with skin care, spent a lot of money at Sephora. 

Uni kept me busy for the most part. 

Wasn’t able to watch GoT as much. :(

Hello, dean’s list! 

March

Started my weekly professional practice experience (PPE) at UI Health. Every Friday for 8 weeks. Made me realize how crazy expensive parking downtown is. 

Binge watched GoT so I can watch the last season when it came out. Season 7 is my favorite! 

Discovered SHY Martin and omfg I love her music. 

Had a fight with one of the closest people in my life, and it opened my eyes to many things. I learned a lot like for example: no matter how close you are to a human being, there will be times where your opinions and views won’t align and I guess that’s okay. Try not to take things personally.

Also discovered L Devine from a YouTuber and I love her music too!! 

I was finally able to use my Twitter account on the actual app. I was locked out for months and had to use a third party app. 

April

Saw BLACKPINK with my sister and two of my cousins. First concert attended for 2019! 

Finally caught up with GoT and was able to watch s8 as it came out every Sunday. 

Uni kept me busy (lol when does it not???)

I was awarded, along with two other classmates, the Chancellor’s Student Service Award. 

Became a ninang to my first ever inaanak, Miah. 💗

May

Watched “Someone Great” on Netflix and bawled my eyes out towards the end. Nicely incorporated music throughout the whole movie. 👍🏼

Started to get disappointed with how GoT was going. 

A classmate & I did a joint report on our PPE experience at UI Health to end the semester. 

Started to watch Kdramas again! I watched Touch Your Heart and I had the biggest crush on Lee Dong Wook for a couple of weeks lol. 

Watched Aladdin with my sister at AMC Oakbrook and wore an all white outfit when it was pouring rain lmao. I still feel sad about how my continental 80s were soaking wet. 😢

June

Started watching Lucifer. I fell in love with Tom Ellis. 

Worked the weekends only because my boss didn’t give me as much hours as I wanted. :( I need money for my vacation :(

Warriors lost the finals, and with many injuries to their star players. I am a sad potato :(

WHEN THEY SEE US. Omfg this show stirred up so many feelings in me that I didn’t know I was capable of. I still highly recommend this mini series. This show also replaced my crush from Tom Ellis to Jharrel Jerome. 

So many books and conferences for senior year. I cry :c

Spoiled by coworkers (bought me coffee almost every weekend) <3

New crush alert: #15 USWNT. 

July 

Hello birth month! Kicked it off by travelling to Florida with my grandparents to visit my tita & tito who live there. Very hot and humid omg. First time my eyes were ever dry that I needed to use eye drops. 

Also, Southwest lost my luggage so we were stuck at home the first day in FL to wait for it to get dropped off. 

 A lot happened this month...

Had to fly to PH early because of a family emergency. 

CULTURE SHOCK. I haven’t been home in 6 years. 

So grateful for my longtime bff, Johan, for staying with me at home while my grandparents were in Bohol sorting some things out. 

7/23: LANY concert at MOA Arena with Johan. Second  and last concert for 2019. #thefeels. Manila traffic is insane. Flew back home early the next day because..

7/25: stayed at davao overnight. Had dinner with friends. I was wasted af. Early flight next day to Cebu. 

7/26 - 7/30: Spent 5 days with my close gal pals Johan, Hannah, Cara, Arvel, and Auleve at Cebu and Bohol. Spent my 22nd birthday with them and it was the best. ❤️❤️❤️

7/27: At Simala Church and I prayed to God about you. (He really listens!!)

He made me a playlist because I asked for song recommendations. That was really sweet of him. 

7/31: Instead of closure, we started something new. We decided to try again. Probably the first and last time I’d let someone read what I wrote on my private blogs. Also, everything happens for a reason haha. 

For the record, I’ve drank the most in this month than I ever had in my entire life. Hangovers can suck it. 

August

08/04: Davao house party with our closest friends!! Love how supportive they are of us. Didn’t get much sleep, took care of my wasted friends lol. 

Frances made a video of the house party linked here: https://youtu.be/t_AATf2fCg8 

08/09: 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

08/10: Date at davao, then had dinner with Dan (one of his closest friends and our high school classmate) and his girlfriend, Alyssa. 

Started to get texts and emails again from work and uni. :(

Meant so much to me that one of my favorite high school teachers supports us. ❤️

Awarded some $$$ from uni because I had the highest GPA in the HIM program. 

Attended the junior orientation at school. Glad to see it’s getting more diverse each year. 

Lover!!! 💗💗💗

Officially a senior! One. More. Year. #HIM2020

Impulsively upgraded my phone from 8+ to the XS. 😬

September

My lover’s birth month. 

Honeymoon phase. 

Part of UIC’s Jeopardy team at the AHIMA Conference and we won!!! YAY TEAM!

One of my high school friends, Paolo, and his friend Riz, visited me here in Chicago for 2 days. Going out with them was a nice break from my monotonous schedule. 

And because I had visitors, it was the first time I had to drive on the highway for a long time. Finally conquered my fear of driving on the highway because I had no choice. *pats self on the back*

October

Sad month. Lost another classmate. 

Back to drinking Starbucks on the daily. My debit card is crying. 

Baby fever is real!

And who would’ve thought... my bff is pregnant!! I tagged Johan on a tweet that said “baby fever but like in an aunt way” and she called me a few days later telling me the good news. I thought she was messing with me at first hahaha. I have a new inaanak coming soon!

Mama’s birthday. Had lunch at our favorite place Joy Yee. 

My mom’s brother who she hasn’t seen in 8 years visited us here in Chicago. 

November

Friends thought I’m getting engaged or married when I told them I’m going back home after graduation. Love how supportive they are haha.

I was invited to be a panelist for an event at uni. Great experience, although I would not do it again because parking downtown is expensive. 

“Not everything about your relationship has to be shared with others.”

Mental health spiral. (I pulled through after disappearing for a few days)

Cut my hair short, but not that short. 

December

Senior In-Service done!  

Starbucks discontinued my fav Chestnut Praline Latte and I am the saddest bean ever. :( </3

Impulsively upgraded my phone to 11, hated the quality (reminded me of android phones). So after four days, I upgraded it to the 11 Pro Max. No more spending this year! Lol. 

After all the struggles I went through with school this semester, I still managed to finish with straight A’s thanks to the extra credit points from completing the course evaluations. Summa cum laude = secured. 👩🏻‍🎓✨☝🏼

I tried Disney Plus and binge watched The Suite Life on Deck. I remembered I used to have the biggest crush on Cody since the first Suite Life lol. 

[mello-yello-mellophone]

I'm feeling kinda homesick for just about any school gym floor in the middle of nowhere surrounded by 85 other people so I decided to compile a list of hilarious things I was blessed enough to witness this summer.

Background: we were getting water before a parade. The brassline had our instruments in twos on the sidewalk.

Random kid, pointing at the line of baritones and mellos: MOMMY!!!! LOOK AT ALL THOSE TRUMPETS!!!!

Her mom: (stifled laughter)

Kid: ....... Where are the flutes.

Me: omfg....

The brass caption head telling the drum major to go conduct: your large, beautiful arms. Go flap them.

The bus passed a graveyard.

Me, a mello player: hey look! Dead people!

That phrase was a running meme throughout the summer.

Another mello player was working on juggling and got a hackey sack stuck inbeteeen a pipe close to the wall, and the wall. His solution: throw the other two up there to knock it down. They also got stuck, so he grabbed another corps member's hackey sack set and attempted to get those three down as well. Those also got stuck, so he tried his shower shoes - again, stuck. At this point over half the corps was watching laughing our asses off, and even one of the brass staff was there recording the whole thing on Snapchat. The mello tried once again with his shoes. One got stuck. With his final attempt he managed to get everything down. It was amazing and probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Tuba: *tosses his water jug down a steep, 150 foot tall hill* oh, darn it. I'm gonna have to walk and get that aren't I...

Sleepy guard member: *guestures vaugly at the night sky* look aT ALL THE STARTS!!!

All of her friends and I called the stars "starts" from that point afterwards.

The brass caption head, introducing us for a full run in a dead, monotone, voice: presenting their 2017 program the edge of a river, drum corps international is proud to present, the coconuts. Drum major is your bandaroni?

(we were all laughing too hard to play after this.)

At a show warmup, the baritone section messed up an entrance. A brass tech in response walked over to a nearby cornfield, picked an ear of corn, and threw it straight up, hitting the ground near the baritones.

Tech: look. It's you.

One of said baritones later returned to the warm up site and grabbed the corn. He carried it around for the night.

Snare drum: yo uhhh wheres the percussion caption head?

Percussion caption head: *climbing onto the roof of the bus* what?

Me: lmao why are you up there??

Caption head: ......

Caption head: yes.

Cymbal player to the cymbal tech: I don't want to wear my jacket right now will you wear it for me for the rest of block?

Tech: ya ok sure give it here

Another corps member: hey uhhhh me too

Tech: ...fine

Tech: ...........

Tech: I wonder how many jackets I can wear at once. HEY Y'ALL GIVE ME AS MANY HOODIES AS YOU CAN

We fit 17 layers of jackets and hoodies on him. He waddled around for an hour and earned the nickname of "grandma Georgie." It took the entire cymbal section to de-jacket him.

Brass caption head: lol poor mellophones... You guys do realize that one of our techs tunes you 15 cents sharp on purpose right?

A mello player: well.. the rest of the corps is usually sharp when we are so it doesn't matter...

Caption head: I guess so. If everyone is tuned the same it wouldn't bother anyone but people with perfect pitch. They're gods.

Tech: no it bothers me sometimes. I'm a demigod.

Entire mellophone section: *laughing too hard to play*

Corps: finishes a rep

Entire color guard on cue from their caption head: *screeches*

Guard caption head: THATS A VOCAL NOW Y'ALL

Three tubas marched a rep with train whistles. A baritone marched the same rep with half of a brick. Another baritone switched instruments with me (a mellophone). The techs found it too funny to yell at us.

Before DCI Minnesota-

Brass caption head: gopher it. Make it golden. be golden gophers. Go.
