#please play competitive dawg

[morningsharksworld]

What the fuck is up with our healer man.

We just started the match.

[respectthepetty]

Before I get into the "What the hell is happening in episode ten of Hidden Agenda?" let me enjoy Joke looking at Zo like Zo is his entire world. I'm going to soak it in because this episode, for me, a person with nothing but wild ass theories, was DELICIOUSLY WILD!

So now - What the hell is happening?!

Joke does have beef with his parents. He doesn't want them around for his birthday, and that's why he only chills with his grandma. Wild Theory approved ✔

Which leads into the overall topic of this episode - Childhood trauma from our parents and how it influences us as adults.

Because Zo hesitates in his decisions since Puen gaslight-gatekeep-geekboss-ed him, and his mother reacted poorly to the incident.

Oh so poorly.

And because of the immense pressure Zo feels to "make up" for his flaws, he believes winning this tournament will prove his worth even though his mom was subtly insulting him by questioning if he could handle harder topic. "Paging Dangerous Romance's Kanghan to stage"

He even told Joke that he wanted to wait to tell his parents about them until after he won the tournament, but PSA to my fellow queers - being queer is not a flaw, so no amount of prize winning or abiding by societal norms will please people. Which is why Jeng had to quit the soccer club. Que triste.

And Zo and Joke are in the same our-families-are-not-really-accepting boat

Because statistically, 50% of families suck.

But, even though it was framed as a positive because Joke was concerned about Zo, Joke still crossed a line to help Zo and went through Pat in order to get Zo's address. This was THE issue last episode, so did Joke really learn his lesson? That's gonna be a "no" from me, dawg.

Which might be the reason we see barriers pop back up between them next week while they are boxed in. (Time skip in episode 12 or Director Tee is playing!)

But the real meat of this episode was Wave x Trin. Wild Theory approved ✔

These two haven't made it a secret that they have beef, but Wave finally gave the reason when he stated Joke would ruin Zo's chances of winning.

I DO think shit is gonna go down with this competition and the scholarship because of Joke's constant line crossing to protect Zo, but Zo pressing the issue with Wave shows growth in his character.

And it's no surprises the Joke-to-Trin pipeline was the true issue.

But this backstory was very much in the same realm as Puen-gaslighting-Zo, and . . .

Zo is right. Wave not having feelings for Trin is fine and dandy,

but I hope this conversation about separating school and personal doesn't come back to bite Zo in the ass the way it did Alan in Moonlight Chicken, and if Wave is apologizing, I need it notarized and publicized because he PUNCHED Trin as a result of Trin's confession when a simple "no" would have been suffice.

Now that I have my 1) Joke's parents ain't shit theory crumbs, and 2) Wave x Trin have tension theory good to go, it's still time for my 3) Kot has feeling for Pat theory to get some light, and 4) we are getting a time skip for episode 12 because something will happen in episode 11 that calls back to the freshy contest outcome.

I ate well today.

[historixally-accurate]

good afternoon...sheepishly slides into your inbox...

sorry for nit appearing sooner, i had to go out yesterday and i was wiped, teehee.

i love writing letters and long form messages for people, its like my fucked up little love language or some shit. everytime i get to write a card for someone its like im giving them an entire english essay dawg

dumping 5 test papers on you and dipping for junehols is WILD even for primary school🤯🤯🤯 and you're so real for hatin on SG math. it was downhill from P1 for me. feel free to complain because i will understand dawg i am math's #1 hater.

i wish my teacher saw the kazuha blunt birthday gift the same way as you did. she told me to erase it :( LMAOOOO no hard feelings but it was funny while it lasted.

having HBG themed wallpapers fron everything is so cool thats sooooo positive aura brother😍😍me personally i just have my own art as my phone home screen...ahahaha im considering drawing 21mustard and putting him there instead.

its actually so cool to see soneone talk about nemerald and fyro like you do. i just feel like they go underappreciated too often D: if i actually had more tine to watch more vods i would draw them more often!!!!! WHY ARE EMERALDS STREAMS SOMEHOW ALWAYS MORE THAN LIKE 15 HOURS IM GOING TO RIOT mr emerald......please......have some pity on my poor SG ass......your skibidi aura is fading......

minesweeper speedrunning is actually something im doing from time to time, not really serious at all lmao. i think maybe i should livestream playing it to some of my friends one day. my reactions are always so funny. one time when i made a throw on par with one of poundy's i almost fell off my chair in deppsair. urm! anyway

i believe minesweeper is a beginner friendly game for everyone! its kinda like the chrome dinosaur game , its only for recreation.so i guess you could just call me a unnecessary sweat. my bad. i have this chronic illness called "must be competitive in all the wrong things".

COMPKETELY UNRELATED but im curious, have you ever thought about HBG's like heights. white men r always so goddamn tall wtf... can i habe some.....por favor. ive heard some members make fun of couri for being short, but im sure that mf is 100% taller than me , lol. real SG student Gs know the euphoria of hearing your PE teacher saying your height and relaising you grew 0.5cm!!!! ok maybe thats a little too much info ill stop now. its a silly thing to think about, but im generally a silly person. my irls can and will talk about the stupid things ive done for like. 1 hour struaght. im kinda like the joker. wragh!!!!

ALSO one last question :> have you ever thought about who in Hbg best matches ur vibe, lol. personally i dont know hbg well enough to say for certain, but i feel like i have silver's deadpan glare when i really lock in.

hopefully youre still doin well, seeinf as that last mime doodle you sent (i love these btw) had what looked like (GASP) complete the square?!?!?! hope youre not going through it 😗

im coincidentally also sending this around the same time as you did yesterday....so.... have a great rest of the day :D - sgmcsr anon

yoey nonnie! boy is it late, what, almost 11/11 LMAO

anyway, time to get into answering my daily inbox because I've been busy todya </3

about messages, I am a natural born yapper, I've been getting a1 for my English for the past... 4 years? and I love writing loooong paragraphs, so you're not alone! I love being a yapper and sharing my silly ideas with the world.. it makes me feel heard <3

about psle, that shit was. aha. ohh. wow. yah. I used to be in a school that was considered very good, so the pressure was a LOT. every single day I was grinded to do papers and revise things even after school, even after all that I did pretty meh. even tho I did meh, I'm still grinding my ass off in the sch I was posted to </3 horrid horrid horrid

about the blunt smoking kazuha, I appreciate anyone who doodles using whiteboard markers, I think that may be one of the hardest mediums to work with 😭 god bless soldier, really 😭😭😭😭 id love to see it

about the illness that is HBG wallpapers, if you're curious, this is my current homescreen :3

it's messy and all over the place, but WHATEVER BA. I don't gaf ☝️☝️ the swag aura can be FELT by every member of my family. I've even gotten my sister to utter the words "mongey" and "mongeyful" during our walk today 😭 also 21mustard is so swaggy cool. you go yet another fast speedrunning white boy. hell yeha

about OH YM GOD FYROAH AND NEM. OHHH. FALLS OVER. CRIES ON THE GROUND. ROLLS AROUND. FUCK. OH MY GOD. I LOVE THEM. AUUGHHGAHGHA. I'll draw them if they interact in the upcoming BAC stream. I'll draw them like no tomorrow. ALSO. EMERALDS SKIBIDI AURA FADING GOT ME LOWKEY CACKLING. mr n emerald. your skibidi aura is leaving your body. any longer and I will absorb it for myself. I need that skibidi aura. give it to me.

about minesweeper, oh.. I really want to learn how to play it.. it looks super fuckin fun dude oh my skibidi rizz. also. I feel how you feel. I was on good pace learning how to route chalice bridge routes today, and lost it because a piglin knocked me into lava and I forgot to pop a fire res pot. devastating. I was coping so hard. hit the copium so hard I left vc and cried. talkingmime give me your energy. 我求求您。please. PELASE. PLEASEEEE. FUCK

ha. anyway. about learning minesweeper, I've played it a few times, and I really like it.. I've just never gotten good at it and. dropped it faster than when I saw my new lit book for the first time this year. <3 (I get the competitiveness. every singaporean has it etched into their brain like microchip and code. it's ok. I get it)

about HBG heights. THOSE MOTHERFUCKING BITCHASS STREAMERS ALL OF THEM ARE LIKE. I SWEAR. 5'10 AND ABOVE. erm. unless your name is couriway. sorry. BUT ANYWAY. yeah. they're. so tall???? for what. one day if I ever get to meet any HBG members, I will dissect and take their legs. pls. I want to be at least 5'3 or 5'4. I'm like. 154cm rn. I'm so short. I'm short. help. hel p. help. also! shoutout height and weight during PE. I love learning that I haven't grown in the past 5 months </3 fucking dumb.

also? nonnie may be the joker. hehehehaw.

about who in HBG matches my vibe, I'd say in terms of character, one of my friends did say that I really remind him of dandannyboy, but i feel like I am. like feinberg. that feinberg guy. except that I'm fucking stupid. everyone else who doesn't know me knows me as that talkingmime dude. so. idk? idk. I really don't know. I'm saying fein because when I get pressed over something, oh boy I get PRESSED. :')

holidays are going great, yeah, completing squares. fuck that shit is fun. I love amath. wowie. Hehe. haha. I'm so smart. I think. wowie.

it's almost 12 25am because yay fo no school ☝️☝️☝️ I can do this as LATE AS I WANT MF 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

nonnie, as always, have a beautiful mongeyful day.... I await your response ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

obligatory mime drawing because you asked me things ^_^

zeroses: queerosins & hetrosins fighting over twitter survey😕

tldr: a big hao pics account did a rosin survey and posted the results, the sexuality section being a whole 51% straight. queerosins started joking abt it bc its ironic but hetrosins took actual offense and start being homophobic forreal.. mind u these people stan ZHANG HETEROPHOBIC HAO🤕

we used to be a proper country..

so earlier @/haopics posted this fun little thread of rosin demographics, like what gender, job, fav song/album, 2nd bias, etc is popular among rosins. super cute n just a fun interactive thing for the subfandom to have, right?? right….????😓

well no.. dont forget u cant laugh or smile in zeroseville they will jinjja slaughter u😕 the issue started when queerosins started making twts about the sexuality portion of the survey, all of which were clearly unserious..?

there qrts were filled w these, and this was genuinely the worst i could find. no one LITERALLY no one was taking it seriously. like as a straight person if u see this and feel inherently offended then we need to run it back bc this is not any form of oppression..? as long as ur not an akgae, not HOMOPHOBIC, streaming his music and supporting him, trust me no1 actually gaf if ure a hetero rosin its just ironic. these twts shouldnt bother u?? maybe giggle at them a little? “im so sorry you have straight fans” should NOT have u pressed enough to tweet sht like this☠:

whats it finna play.. WOAH🤕 when ur in a dramatic competition and ur opponent is a straight rosin.. “remember you cry on the streets to be respected”????????????? hello?????? discriminaton where exactly???? hao would block n report u all actually bc resorting to casually homophobia in response to satirical tweets made by a minority group is insane.. when u stan this man??

what happened to like idol like fans?? like erm.. yall really sitting here upset over “heterophobia” coming from the fans of the heterophobe founding father himself.. idk maybe sit down and think long and hard abt who u stan🤕 best of luck w that

LMFAOO THIS PERSON GMFU. please.. ples.. stop it… i am criiyng… Hao is my bias he is never gay pls… stop spreading rumours please……im tire of people saying he is home of sexual… he is chinese…..😓

there were were also some people who felt it was a bad idea to have the sexuality section included at all, bc its “no one’s business”:

but it was a public survey..? wdym none of ur business when people obviously offered this information up😭 and "did yall ever see him for his talent" is a crazy thing to say in this context like what are u even talking abt dawg🫤 i guess zeroseville has gotten to a point where even talking abt sexuality has become discourse fuel. this is just so unserious like it shouldnt be a problem to mention and joke abt orientation without someone getting mad. yall speculate about the jebes sexualities constantly, hao in particular actually, and if thats not a touchy subject then why is this?? and why was yall's go to response ACTUAL homophobia like..

but out of everyone i feel so bad for haopics like they just wanted to do a fun thing for their subfandom and look what happened,, that dec survey def aint happening after yall pulled this nonsense😭

bottom line everyone needs to unclench and smile a little (challenge level IMPOSSIBLE for zerosetwt)🤕

DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT, DAWG. for @unfinched

"What a fierce little feather The Flying Man is. Baring the teeth of his eyes at anybody who glances at his woman." Coyote grinned up at their pallid brethren over a vintage leather-bound copy of Songs of Experience. "I'd be a little choosier on who I'd ask to Play Misty for me if I were you. I didn't think it was physically possibly for a bird to lay with a she-mantis."

They laid sprawled out on the fine leather couch as if they owned it, one boot propped up on its arm and the other planted on the glossy stone floor. There was nowhere so clean they found so comfortable than the Warren Estate-Commune-Coven-Coterie-Whatever. An open-door policy, their authority, and willingness to harbor incriminating secrets allowed them to come and go as they pleased. Their respectable library was an excuse to visit.

"She's pretty. Outside, she's my type. Inside?" Gently shutting the book as they sat up, "I prefer my women without the aftertaste of amaranth. You have no competition from me, but rather my concern."

"When she gets off, then gets off, don't you fear her splitting her mandibles and just—" Coyote snapped their jaws in his direction. "You never met The Green Man, did you? Or does she keep her peas separate from her potatoes? Or maybe The Moon got its hooks in you so deeply, that you've long since drowned in His reflection?"

FIVE RANDOM FACTS

Just going to recycle 3 I've used before-

I have broken my pinkie finger because of a towel before. It was like 35° askew it was not pretty (I did not faint, somehow, but it hurt like a bitttccch)

I have low blood pressure and am prone to fainting as a result (No physical activities for me!)

I did a year of Uni Maths (Currently in the exam period) but I plan to go into Graphic Design now

And now 2 original ones:

I won 2 graduation awards at High School Prom Night (I think that's the right one? Idk Belgian school system doesn't quite translate to freedom units) as the only person to even be nominated for 2, and they were the biggest "fuck you"s they had available. They're very much plastic, but they have custom engravings!

I was a finger artist up till a month or so ago (You can probably tell by how my style has finally stabilized)

Tag time! Well... I am anxious, so really whoever wants to can go (I am a coward) ... @mixxdpunch ?

Like the two of you start as friends before it goes anywhere

But, he's met his match with you, so he's in it for the long haul

He'd be so excited but also extremely nervous to tell his family about you

Especially his mom

"So mom, there's this girl."

"I know."

"Wait. What?"

"Your sisters told me. I hear she's lovely."

It'd mean the world to him that you got along with them

Him not being huge on PDA

But low(high)key gets jealous when others are giving you unwanted attention

If someone is hitting on you or making suggestive comments, he'd try his best not to make a scene

But would undoubtedly let the person know you're his through actions

Like casually snaking his arm around his waist and pulling you closer to him while forcing the fakest of smiles as he introduces himself to whoever it is talking to you

OR

Say the two of you are at a group dinner and the waiter/waitress is a wee bit flirty towards you

It's a no from Auston, dawg

He wouldn't say anything but he would definitely give some (not so) subtle glares to the other person

And have his hand resting on your thigh/knee, making sure to give it the odd squeeze every once in a while; especially whenever the waiter returned

So much competitiveness

Literally over everything

Such as, something stupid like him betting that he could carry more grocery bags from the car up to the condo than you

Or you asking him to hand you something and him just holding the item above his head saying "only if you can reach it".

He's a headache, but he's your headache

He'd absolutely love if you were into sports like he was, but also would dig you not really caring about them cause it gives him a little break from it all

But also think about how if it came to a different sport like baseball and the two of you were diehard fans for different teams

Wooo boy

The chirping and pettiness would be unreal especially when those teams played against each other

But it would also be so, so fun

He's a softie, and everyone knows it, but you bring it out of him the most

Like he's whipped

And the guys on the team live for it

Especially when he shows it in little gestures

Such as making pit stops on the way back from practice regardless of who he's with just to pick up your go-to drink from Starbucks

Or being on the road and him hanging out with his teammates but smiling goofily at his phone because of something you sent him

And blushing when he gets called out on it and immediately changing the subject

He just loves being around you

The two of you are very spontaneous together

Like deciding to go on random long car rides

And walking around the city late at night without a care in the world

But even with your spontaneity

You both just love being at home together so freaking much

Cuddling on the couch

Watching your favourite movies or a Netflix show the two of you started watching together

And him getting super offended if you even think about going ahead and watching an episode without him

"I think you're being a tad dramatic about this, Auston."

"Well, then maybe you shouldn't have watched the season finale while I'm not there."

"Yeah, ok, now here's what happened..."

"DON'T SPOIL IT!"

In a room full of people he always has eyes for you

Whether that be staring at you from where he's sat only a few feet away while visiting friends or family; waiting for you to react to the meme he just sent you

Or always looking to that one spot in the crowd at the arena where he knows you're sitting, wearing his jersey, and smiles widely or winks while skating back to the bench after scoring a goal

Cause he's a cocky mf'er

But it's fine

It's cool

And then the two of you are alone, and it's a whole other story

If you know what I mean 👀

Bow chicka wow wow

MOVING ON

You're one of his biggest supporters, but he's also your number one fan

You post a picture on Instagram? Not long after you'll hear him make a pleased noise from the other room before being notified of him commenting a bunch of fire emojis

Regardless of what you do in life, he's always cheering you on

And offering you a shoulder to lean on when things become too much

It works both ways

But he has more trouble expressing his frustrations than you do and tends to get mopey instead

Like after a big game loss

He'd just be quiet and either not want to talk about it or blame everything on himself

And you'd listen

Let him vent before putting in your two cents of how he doesn't need to be so hard on himself

But most of all, just being there for him

Which he appreciates more than he could ever explain

He always gets your opinion on things

Whether that be a new suit or a birthday gift to get for one of his sisters, it doesn't really matter

And since he values your opinion so much, he also knows you'd never judge him for having a different one

Maybe the hat he wanted to wear with a suit was just a little extra to you, but he likes it, so you just shrug it off. He still looked good regardless

And it wouldn't be just about fashion or gifts

He'd send you new songs he liked and thought you would enjoy too

Maybe even make you the odd playlist

Who knows

But it's little things like that where he shows his affection

Because he doesn't always voice it

However, you never have to doubt the love this man has for you

He absolutely loves kissing you

Literally thinks about it while he's away

Even longs for it

And boy does he make use of the time the two of you have together while he's back for home games or during off season

Going on new adventures together

Trying new things

He'd probably try to teach you to rollerblade or something

But would also be down for trying this new craft thing you saw on Pinterest

There would definitely be the odd emotional reunion after spending some time apart regardless of how cheesy the two of you felt because you just love and missed each other so much

You'd be extremely comfortable around each other

Like you could wake up from a night out with friends in the roughest state, and he'd tease you a little bit, but still manage to make you smile

Because he's so freaking cheeky

And flirty, my GOD

But, again, he's basically just a big teddy bear

And just wants to be loved

Which you do so well

"You're the most important girl in my life, I hope you know that."

"I'm gonna tell your mom you said that."

"Wait. No, don't!"

*intro of Mr. Brightside starts playing during a long road trip*

The two of you: *slowly glance at each other knowingly*

Six seconds later, in unison:" COMING OUT OF MY CAGE AND I'VE BEEN DOING JUST FINE."

Cheesy holiday traditions that form over time

Damn right he's making use of that mistletoe every year

Calling each other to rant about any minor inconvenience that may have happened as a way to calm down

Him being extra loud and obnoxious around you just because he can

Him: *loudly entering the condo after making a quick run to the store*

"SomeBODY ONCE TOLD ME."

You: *groans for 18 hours*

The two of you wouldn't fight all that much

But when you do, they're bad

They just suck so much because fights between the two of you are so rare that when they happen, they're definitely over something serious

However, communication is a big thing

And although you both may be grumpy and petty, neither of you want it to last

"Auston?"

"Hmm?"

"You still love me, right?"

"Of course I do."

You and him being literal partners in crime

Plotting against everyone

But no one takes offence to it because the two of you are just harmless goofballs

Talk a big talk but that's about it

You'd always be showing each other new things

Being the CEO's of working smarter, not harder

IKEA trips that would result in one of you getting separated from the other

Inside jokes and references only the two of you get

Because you're each other's best friend

And want nothing but the best

Because the force(love) is strong with this one

You're each other's missing piece that makes a whole

And there is no doubt that the two of you will eventually vow to be each other's person, forever

Continuity Note: Yo, dawg, I heard you liked the golden ape from the Namek Saga, so I had the golden ape travel through time to the Namek Saga so she could listen to Vegeta talk about the golden ape in the Namek Saga.

Tonight’s Episode:

 [24 December, Age 762.    Namek.]  

Once, Luffa had been the mightiest Saiyan of her age.    Now, her power had been mysteriously curtailed, and she was nothing more than a raw recruit in the Time Patrol, a collection of warriors who resolved temporal anomalies with their fists.   Luffa had been wary of the job at first, but she gradually decided to get used to it, mainly because her old life was over.    The Time Patrol seemed to be the only prospect she had left.

But her latest mission threw even this into doubt.   A mysterious enemy had altered history on the Planet Namek, during a battle between the Ginyu Force and Vegeta.   Luffa's intervention had been unorthodox, but effective.    The enemy had manipulated the entire Ginyu Force into attacking as a unit, overwhelming Vegeta, and then later Son Goku, when he arrived on the planet.   Luffa's solution was to attack Vegeta, which convinced Ginyu that the situation was under control.    He left Vegeta's execution to his men, who agreed to fight one at a time, as history intended.    

The only problem was that Recoome was very insistent upon removing Luffa from the field before settling his business with Vegeta.   His death move, the Eraser Gun, seemed to vaporize Luffa completely.  

Ironically, this set the course of history more or less back on track.    The Time Patrol didn't undo changes in history so much as they contained the effects.    Their patron, the Supreme Kai of Time, could isolate and quarantine tampered segments of the timeline, and massage the "true" version of history back into it's proper shape.   But this was best accomplished by altering those tampered segments further, reducing the impact of the changes.   Luffa's mission was not to defeat the Ginyu Force or to save Vegeta.    Her job was simply to make sure that the Ginyu Force defeated Vegeta, but not so badly that he couldn't survive before Goku arrived to save him.   Now that Luffa had been Eraser-Gunned out of the battlefield, and Recoome was fighting who he was supposed to fight, everything was essentially playing out how it should have.    

Recoome had pummeled Vegeta within an inch of his life.   The mysterious enemy had infused Vegeta with an arcane energy that made him stronger and more aggressive, but Luffa had beaten that out of him, and so he was helpless against the superior power of Recoome.    Vegeta's only allies on Planet Namek were Krillin and Gohan.   They had been in competition for Namek's Dragon Balls, but when faced with the overwhelming power of the Ginyu Force, they agreed to a truce.   And so, Krillin and Gohan tried to help Vegeta fight, whether out of pity or a sense of honor.     It made no difference.   Recoome defeated Krillin with a single kick, and Gohan was left with a broken neck.    

And then, right on schedule, a spaceship touched down on Planet Namek, and Son Goku emerged, barely in the nick of time.    He arrived on the battlefield, and gave magical senzu beans to heal Krillin and Gohan.   He read Krillin's mind, and, upon learning that Vegeta had helped them, tossed a senzu bean to Vegeta as well.    This was not merely an act of kindness, or gratitude.   Goku had unfinished business with Vegeta, and he planned to settle it with him later.  They were Saiyans, after all.    

Amidst this touching reunion, the three Ginyu Force members were confused.    Recoome had nearly killed his opponents, only for a stranger in an orange dogi to restore them to full health.    Goku ignored Recoome completely, except to give him a warning: Leave the planet while there was still a chance to do so.

What confused everyone on the battlefield was that Son Goku's demeanor was completely calm, and his battle power so low despite the rising tension.   Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin could sense this, while the Ginyu Force relied on measurements taken from their scouters.    Both suggested that Goku was bluffing, but his poise suggested otherwise.

And then, in the midst of this tense standoff, the deafening silence was broken by a furious cry.

"I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU, BASTARD!"

Luffa had returned.  

"What the hell?" asked Burter.   From the sidelines, he and Jeice had been watching Recoome's battle.    They had seen Recoome grab Luffa by the hair and blast her with the Eraser Gun at pointblank range.    

"Crikey!" was the only word Jeice could think of.   It wasn't just Luffa's survival that bewildered them, but the fact that she hadn't shown up on their scouters, which were sensitive enough to pick up almost any life sign.

"Oh, goodie!" Recoome said as he glanced up to spot Luffa floating in midair.    "I thought that last shot finished you, but I guess this means I get to play with you a little longer after I snuff out this wiseguy."

Luffa alighted on the grass near Vegeta.   Her yellow pants were reduced to rags hanging from her boots and sash.  Fortunately, the Toki Toki clothing shop had used sturdier material for the rest of her gear.   The black compression shirt and shorts she wore were singed, but mostly in tact.   Her eyes were wide with rage, and she bared her teeth as she spoke.  

"I lived, jackass!" Luffa shouted.    "Damn near knocked me out, but I still managed to slip out of your grip before your blast could kill me!     Instead, it carried me about five miles out!   But don't worry, I made sure to hurry back as soon as I came around!   Let's go!"

"Oh yeah, sure thing!" Recoome said.   "But lemme wipe the floor with this loser first!   He's in an awful hurry to die, ya know!   To be honest, he's kinda got me mad."

"You can't beat me," was all Goku had to say.   It wasn't a boast or a threat, merely a statement of fact.   He never took his eyes off Recoome, despite Luffa's dramatic entrance.  

"Fine!" Luffa screamed.   "You want to fight Kakarot first?  Be my guest.    Just get on with it!"

She crossed her arms and hyperventilated through her clenched teeth while the tense standoff resumed.    "Hurry up," she grumbled under her breath.     At last she noticed Vegeta standing nearby, and the astounded noises he was making.   She turned to face him and snarled: "What the hell is your problem, anyway?"

"I-is Kakarot... a Super Saiyan?!" Vegeta asked.  

"What?" Luffa asked.    

"He can't be!   He's just a low-class warrior!   It doesn't make any sense!"  

Luffa wasn't sure if Vegeta was talking to her or to himself.    He seemed completely transfixed by Goku's presence, despite the fact that he hadn't actually done anything so far.

"What are you babbling about?" Luffa demanded.  

"Tch!   You're a Saiyan yourself, aren't you?    You must have heard the legend!" Vegeta snapped, suddenly glaring at her with a panicked expression.   "The Super Saiyan!  The legendary warrior who can surpass barriers that even most gifted fighters cannot!"

Luffa blinked twice.   Then laughed.    

"Does he look like a Super Saiyan to you?" she said, pointing at Goku.  

"I don't know what they look like!" Vegeta growled.   "The last Super Saiyan supposedly existed a thousand years ago!   And I never believed those stories in the first place-- What are you grinning about?"

"That's your 'barrier'?" Luffa asked.   "Kakarot's standing up to that overgrown sack of offal, and you think that makes him the Legendary Super Saiyan?"

"You fought Recoome yourself!" Vegeta said.   "You saw what he could do!   You barely survived!"

"Oh, he's a tough bastard, no doubt about that," Luffa said.   "But I'm just getting warmed up, and the old stories never mentioned anyone as dull as him.    Chanisp killed a demon, remember?   And Asparaj brought fiery retribution on the fae folk."

She paused for a moment, but couldn't resist adding her own lore to the discussion.   "These Ginyu Force creeps, they make for a decent scrap, but they don't hold a candle to the Shockmaster, for example."

"What does any of that nonsense have to do with the Super Saiyan Legend?" Vegeta rasped.  

Luffa suddenly felt her throat go dry.   "I'm talking about the legend," she said.   "The Super Saiyan, from a thousand years ago.   Do you think she just stood around and scratched her butt all day?"

"She?" Vegeta scoffed.  "You've got to be joking!    I always knew the old stories were pure fantasy, but I had no idea there were such... inclusive interpretations of the legend."

"Then what interpretation did your mother teach you, Vegeta?" Luffa asked coldly.  

"Oh, I made it a point not to listen to her fairy tales about the old heroes," Vegeta said.   "My destiny was to outshine them all, so their example was meaningless.     Besides, there's hardly anything to say about the last Super Saiyan.   He lived ten centuries ago, and he could only maintain his power in the transformed state.   But he was too primitive to control it."

"Primitive...?" Luffa grumbled.  

"One day, his rage burned so intensely that it eventually consumed him.   In the end, he was destroyed by his own power, along with whatever miserable planet he happened to be standing on."

His words were like a knife sliding between Luffa's ribs.   "That... that's it?" she asked.   "That's all you know?"

"But if there were a way to achieve such power, I should know it," Vegeta went on.   "I am the Prince of All Saiyans!   If there is to be a new Super Saiyan, it should be me!"

And then, as Luffa was still reeling from this revalation, Recoome finally threw a punch at Goku.    He dodged with ease, moving so quickly that most of the spectators couldn't follow his movements.    But Luffa saw, as did Vegeta.     Super Saiyan or not, there was no denying that he had improved remarkably since Luffa's last encounter with him.    

Recoome was dumbfounded, while Jeice and Burter suddenly found Goku standing beside them.     When they tried to attack him, Goku vanished again, returning to Recoome.    

"You do well!" Recoome crowed.   "You do well.   Yeah, we get the idea, punk.    You're pretty fast, but that still won't save you!   See, I've got a special move that I've been saving!   Yeah, that's right.   It'll wipe out this whole place in an instant, so you won't be able to dodge this one, no matter how fast you move!    Hehhhh, I hope you're ready, because I'm about to send all of you wimps straight to hell!"

With that, Recoome crouched low, and planted his fists on the Namekian topsoil as he gathered his energy.    Arcs of red ki cracked across his back, and cracks began to appear in the ground, spreading outward from his feet.    He looked up at Goku as he prepared, and smiled.   Most of his teeth had been lost when Krillin and Gohan foiled an Eraser Gun he had tried to use on Vegeta, but Recoome's arrogant enthusiasm remained undaunted.   Not far away, Krillin and Gohan trembled with fear, while Jeice and Burter watched with confidence.    

Beside Luffa, Vegeta stared intently.    "Now we'll see," he muttered.    "Now we'll see if I was right about you, Kakarot."  

Son Goku simply stood his ground and watched Recoome intently.  

At last, Recoome rose to his full height, and held up his arms as though reaching for the sky.  

"Recooooooome... Ultraaaaa.... Miracle..." he began to shout.  Goku didn't move.    

Recoome got out one more word: "Fighting".   Whatever else he had to say was cut off when he suddenly took an elbow strike to the chest.    The force and precision of the blow was such that it disrupted every organ in his torso.   His heart skipped a beat, then two.    For a single, agonizing moment, all he could do was twitch and grunt as he registered the pain.    

But Goku had not moved.   He simply stood his ground, and watched as Luffa stood between him and his opponent.    Recoome collapsed at Luffa's feet.    

"You were taking your sweet time with this one," Luffa snarled as she looked back at Goku.   "I don't normally butt in on other people's fights, but you two never actually made contact, so I can't say that I interrupted anything."

"No worries," Goku said.   "He left himself wide open, but I could tell you were about to try something, so..."

He shrugged, and Luffa turned back to Recoome.    "I'm sorry," she said.   "What was it you were going to say?   Recoome Ultra Miracle Fighting... what?"  

Recoome was unable to answer.   He was doubled over, with his face down in the grass.  The only motion he made was a few convulsions, and soon, even those stopped.   Luffa kicked him to knock him over.    

"Come on!" she growled.   "I want to hear what you have to say!"  

"Leave him alone," Goku said.   "He's beaten."

"You're right!" Luffa said as she picked Recoome up by the tattered remains of his Ginyu Force Uniform.    She lifted him high over her head to get him off the ground.   Recoome was unconscious.   The only response he could give was a trickle of drool from his mouth.    

She glared at Goku, and then at Jeice and Burter in the distance.   "Maybe I should ask his friends."

Then she vanished, moving just as quickly as Goku had done.    In the next moment, she was flying headlong toward Jeice and Burter, who barely had any time to react.    She tossed Recoome at Jeice, and drove herself straight for Burter.  

"Holy--!" Jeice managed to say before his teammate slammed into him at breakneck speed.    For Recoome this was literal, as his neck snapped even before his body collided with Jeice's.    

Burter did slightly better.   He dodged Luffa's approach, but only just.   Then he fired a ki blast from his hands in a desperate bid to put some distance between them.    

"S-so fast!" Burter gasped.    

"Yeah, you're pretty quick yourself," Luffa said.   His blue energy blasts spilled over her like so much water, and she stepped through his attack to deliver a kick to his head.    Again, Burter dodged, but the margin for error keept getting thinner and thinner.  

  "She's a monster!" Jeice wailed.   "A monster!"

Luffa ignored him and continued chasing after Burter.    "That's the spirit, blue man," she said.   "Keep trying.    But I only have to connect once, and then it's all over!"  

"Run, Jeice!" Burter shouted.     "I... I can't hold her off much longer!    Get the Captain!"

"But what about you?" Jeice cried.    

"Hurry!" Burter pleaded.    "Before it's too late!"  

Luffa began to laugh.   "That's right, Jeice!" she shouted.   "He'll die no matter what you do!"

And this threat was enough to convince Jeice to retreat.  He took one last look at his friend, then blasted off into the horizon like a bright red missile.   Luffa paused to watch him go, which gave Burter just enough time to land a single blow to her face.    

She didn't even dignify this by dodging or blocking.    She simply let him hit her.    

"Again!" she said, waving with her hand to egg him on.    "Hit me!"

"You're insane!" Burter moaned.  

"I said hit me!" Luffa screamed!     "I want to get good and warmed up for the others."    

"That's enough!"  

She turned to look at the others below, and saw Goku calling out to her.  

"He's no match for you!" Goku insisted.  "Let him go!"

"Don't be a fool, Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted.   "We need to kill him now!"    

"He's not a threat!" Goku shot back.  

"No," Luffa said.   "You're not a threat, are you, Burter?    But when your pals get back, I can take on all of you at once..."

"You're insane!" Burter said.    "I don't care how fast you are, you'd have to have some kind of death wish to want to take on Captain Ginyu!"

"I don't want to take on Captain Ginyu," Luffa said with a ravenous gleam in her eye.    "I want to take on the entire Ginyu Force.   Your dead friend got me all fired up, and I want more!    So go and get him, or would you like me to tear your throat out right now, and save you the suspense?"

Burter wasted no time deciding.    He turned and fled with the blinding speed he was known for.    Satisfied, Luffa let herself drop to the ground and rejoined the others.    

"You imbecile!" Vegeta shouted.   "Your pathetic mercy is going to get us all killed!"

He raised his hand to fire a ki blast after Burter, but Luffa swatted his arm and sent his shot careening off in the wrong direction.    

"Maybe you didn't listen to the stories," Luffa said with a manic grin.   "But I did.   The old heroes didn't back down from anything, and neither did the last Super Saiyan.   But if you're so worried about mercy, wait until I'm done with them, and you can finish off whatever's left."

"Have a care, woman!" Vegeta grumbled.   "I don't know who you are or how you got here, but I won't let your recklessness stand in the way of my wish!"

"Uh, hold on a second.   Aren't we getting worked up over nothing?" Krillin asked.   "I mean, you all saw how fast Goku's become, and she beat Recoome with one shot!   I mean, maybe the tables have turned here.   It sounds crazy, but if all five of us stick together, we just might have the advantage."  

"Hmph!  Don't let this go to your head, baldy," Vegeta warned.   "Kakarot may have improved, and this madwoman might even beat Captain Ginyu, but Frieza's still far beyond anything you can imagine.   And don't forget, Ginyu took all seven Dragon Balls back to his ship!   There's a good chance Frieza's already made his wish by now, so he'll be invincible and immortal."

"No," Krillin said, "I don't think so.    On Earth, when you call the Dragon, all sorts of crazy things happen.    The sky turns dark, and so far it's been daylight this whole time.   He may have the Dragon Balls, but he hasn't made his wish yet.    Maybe he doesn't know how to use them."

"Gosh," said Gohan.  "Then that means... we might still have a chance!"  

"Krillin, do you still have the Dragon Radar?" Goku asked.    

"No, we left it with Bulma," Krillin said.  

"Then I want you two to find her and get it back," Goku said.   "With any luck, you can find the Dragon Balls while we keep them occupied here."  

"Uh, sure, Goku, but..." Krillin gestured to Luffa and Vegeta.   "Are you sure you'll be okay?   These guys aren't exactly friendly, and you used up all the senzu beans on us."  

"I'll be fine," Goku said with a confident smile.   "Now get going.   Every second counts, Krillin."

*******

"Recoome's dead?" Ginyu shouted.   "Inconceivable How could you let this happen, Jeice?"

"This guy showed up out of nowhere, and then we got so busy with him, that crazy Saiyan girl showed up and beat him with just one punch!"

"He's right, Captain!" Burter said between gasps for breath.   His great speed had allowed the blue ophidian to catch up to Jeice on their way back to Frieza's ship, but he had worn himself out from the effort.   "But she has a weakness!   She let us both go because she didn't think the two of us were enough of a challenge for her.   She wanted to fight us all together!"  

"Hmmm, overconfident, is she?" Ginyu mused as he rubbed his chiseled jawline.    "Still, it's hard to believe that a warrior as mighty and as stylish as Recoome could be defeated by a single Saiyan, and a woman at that.   We should proceed very carefully...   Luckily, I've been preparing for just such a contingency.    You men, line up!"

They were all standing outside of Frieza's spaceship.    Several crew members lined up and stood at attention.   There was a patch of upturned dirt nearby, and some shovels.    

"You men did well burying the Dragon Balls," Ginyu announced.   He began to pace up and down the line, his hands clasped behind his back.   "And your fighting poses were... well, I won't lie, they were terrible, but I see some potential.    I had planned to hold on to your service records so I could keep you in mind for potential openings in my team, but it looks like there's no time like the present.    As of this moment, I am hereby deputizing you all as honorary members of the Ginyu Force!     Now... sound off!"

One by one, the crewmen struck various poses, and called out their names.

"Goose!" cried Goose.

"Oggerrrrrrrrs!" shouted Oggers, who hoped to use loudness to compensate for his posing ability.

"Huh?   Oh!   Strock!" yelled Strock, a half-second off his cue.    

"Captain Strong!" bellowed Ootmelc, because he thought they were all supposed to invent codenames, and this was the best he could come up with on short notice.

Ginyu immediately locked eyes with him.    "So you're a captain too?" he said ominously.    

Ootmelc made a loud gulp as he realized his error.    The other three crewmen decided to keep quiet, and so they did not announce themselves.

"Uh, Captain?" Jeice said.   "We really need to get moving.   If those Saiyans come looking for us, they might wreck Lord Frieza's spaceship worse than it already has been."

"You're right, Jeice!" Ginyu said, temporarily putting his ire aside.   "We can't afford anything less than strict military discipline and professionalism!     We move out immediately!"

"Wait, where's Guldo?" Burter asked.  

"He was very upset from earlier," Ginyu said, "so I gave him his favorite blanket and sent him to take a nap in the ship.   Now then, Ginyu Force...!"

He paused, as though waiting for some unheard musical score to reach a climactic note, and then said: "...Assemble!"

*******

What the Ginyu Force did not notice was a pair of figures lurking near the landing gear of Frieza's spaceship.   They were not part of the crew, nor were either of them Frieza himself.   Frieza had gone in search of a Namekian survivor who could tell him how to operate the Dragon Balls he had just collected.  

"Well well," one of them said.    "It's a good thing we decided to stick around in this time period.     Things have definitely gotten interesting.   There were only two Saiyans on Planet Namek today, and there definitely wasn't a woman in the group."  

"Another time traveler," said the other.  "Someone following us, trying to interfere in our plans."

"It looks that way.   Not that she'll succeed."

"I will go and kill her immediately."

"No, let's not be too hasty.   This is an opportunity.    You heard what the Ginyu Force said.   She wants to fight them, not us.    Whatever changes she makes to the timeline, it won't affect our plans at all.     In fact, this gives me a chance to try something new."  

"Another warrior?"  

"Yes, the experiments on Vegeta have gone quite well, but we can only gather so much energy from tampering with his power.    It's time to build upon what we've learned."  

"The one called Guldo?   He doesn't have much power.    Would it even be worth the effort?"

"Hm.   You can be so narrow-minded sometimes.    I was thinking of using Guldo, but not just him."  

Suddenly, Frieza's spaceship began to glow a deep purple, like the entire vessel had been engulfed in a demonic flame.    A moment later, Guldo walked out of the ship.   All four of his eyes glowed an eerie crimson color, and the same purple energy wafted up from his body.     His face was twisted with rage.    

And as he left the spaceship, fifty other crewmen followed him.    Their eyes were just as red, and their bodies just as much under the influence of this dark magic.  

"None of them are very powerful, true.    But it'll still make for an intriguing exercise.    The girl wants a fight, so we'll give her one.    And whether she wins or loses, we risk nothing."

"I would prefer to destroy her myself."  

"Patience, my dear.   It may very well come to that..."

send a url and i will answer the following. [ x ]

@girlishgiggle​ said:  

My url please?

Do I Follow Them?: of course!

Why Did I Follow Them?: i followed back when mimz was just a sideblog to your alastor, because i wanted to interact with a mimzy!

Do We Role Play?: we sure do!

Do I Want To Role Play With Them: ALWAYS. i know you worry about overwhelming me sometimes, but you sincerely never do. i love our threads to pieces.

An AU Idea For Our Muses: would love to do something with your selkie au, actually! i love mystical creatures. would just hafta figure out if alastor would be something too, or just a normal boring human.

A Song For Our Muses: “ clarity ” by zedd makes me think of ‘em a bit!

Do I Ship Our Muses?: yeah, dawg. i appreciate that we’ve taken time to navigate their feelings and have let them figure things out at their own pace. however they end up with each other, i’ll be happy, because it’ll feel well earned i think.

What I Think About The Mun: mun’s a sweetheart with wonderful, creative ideas and has been a lovely enabler over the time i’ve run this blog. honestly one of the best folks here, imo.

Overall Opinion: i will forever be biased about how mimzy should be written cuz i’m so attached to this take on her HAHA i often see her written off as competition for alastor’s affection or just some creepy stalker that can’t get over her feelings for him, so it’s nice seeing a version of her that does care for alastor but also acknowledges his numerous faults and calls him on them. she’s her own person with goals and desires, outside of her attachment to al. love it!

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎 / 𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐊 𝟏 .

here’s a little intro / task #1 for my boy , dash . i hope you all enjoy reading about him n love him as much as i do . 

full name.

dashiell robert parr

preferred name/nickname.

dash

generally referred to as

dash parr 

speech.

ACCENT : dash has a pretty typical american accent . after all , he grew up in seattle . i mean , there’s a couple words here and there that take on a seattle twist . for example , words like ‘ tag ’ or ‘ bag ’ tend to slur together a little and sound more like ‘ teg ’ or ‘ beg ’ . but it’s nothing too wild .  VERBAL TICKS : dash is a pretty speedy talker .  ( watch out jojo siwa .. dash is coming 4 ur brand ) his mouth tends to move faster than his brain , causing him to stutter through words at times while his brain buffers , mispronounce words here and there , or even start talking in the middle of a thought . dash can be incoherent at times , but please bear with him .  LANGUAGE : dash speaks english fluently and speaks a good bit of korean . he struggles with reading and writing in both languages , unfortunately .  ARTICULATION : the only times dash is articulate is when he’s repeating dumb ‘ smart sounding ’ shit that he has heard on tv . he still talks like a fourteen year old boy and regularly says yeet in sentences and even when emailing professors .  EDUCATION : most certainly does not have a big vocabulary . thinks using the word ‘ photosynthesis ’ makes him sound smart even though he uses it incorrectly .  LAUGHTER : super loud , cackle laugh . a giggly boy , for sure . if you want to hear his laugh , take a listen right HERE . laughs too much for his own good . 

mannerisms.

FACE : a pretty smiley guy . whether it’s a genuine toothy grin , a cocky smirk , or a beaming grin of success after a game . however , the look of mischief in his eye is so easily recognizable by anyone who comes into contact with him . the boy is known for his pranks and honestly ? i’m not sure how anyone can miss the sparkle in his dark eyes the moment he comes up with his next prank .  HANDS : when in class, dash can always be seen tapping his fingers , playing with a bracelet on his wrist , twirling his hair , etc . he just has so much pent up energy , just sitting around anywhere can drive him up the wall . dash’s fingers and palms are also covered in blisters and rough spots due to years of sports . his long , spindly fingers are not soft by any means .  LEGS/FEET : speedy boi . dash runs track and is known for being one of the fastest guys on the team . his legs are in great shape , long af , and always ready to carry him wherever he wants to go .  EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS : the only time you’ll really see any ‘ outbursts ’ from dash is if he loses something . the man is competitive like no other and hates losing with a burning passion . in which case , he just tends to get >:( and punch stuff once nobody’s around .  HABITS : if he’s left without anything to do , he just starts working out using any nearby items . he’ll just drop to the floor and start doing pushups , lifting people’s backpacks , stretching in place , etc . the world is his gym . also , claps when he laughs or is is excited or honestly whenever . he just claps . a lot . for no good reason .  POSTURE : stands like he’s overcompensating . hands on hips , shoulders back , chest out . it’s annoying and i can and will clown him for doing such . 

health . 

DIET : this man has no Clue how to cook . but he tries to be healthy , so if you see him just randomly munching on a carrot or some lettuce or like ... just the most basic of healthy foods ... mind your own business . but listen the man has a soft spot in his heart for anything chocolate . drinks chocolate milk every morning to wake up .  SLEEP : lmao getting this man to sleep is impossible . he will stay up till the late hours of the night playing video games or even trying to catch up on school work . ( rare , but a possibility ) but strangely , even if he’s running on two hours of sleep , he acts like he’s just downed multiple energy drinks at all times .  MEDICINAL DRUGS : definitely should be taking his adhd medicine . but what’s the fun in that ? NARCOTICS : occasionally will hit a juul because he is dumb as fuck and likes to look cool on people’s snapchat stories . but does not fuck with drugs in the slightest . anything in his pee tests could get him kicked off the team . 

personal.

INTROVERT/EXTROVERT : dash is a definite extrovert . not a shy bone in his body and has to think out loud to truly process shit .  OPTIMIST/PESSIMIST : you know what ? i’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that dash is an optimist . he really does see the best in people and he tries to always see the silver lining in every situation . nothing is ever too dark or too far gone for this kid .  SEXUALITY : pretty much heterosexual . wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to trying things out with other guys , he’s just never done it before .  INSECURITIES : he’s pretty insecure about his lack of booksmarts . he knows that he’s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier and he tries to make up for it in athletic ability and hookups . but it’s been a pretty steady insecurity of his for years now . 

relationships.

FAMILY : dash is on that middle kid grind . frequently being forgotten on his birthday , stays getting in trouble for attention , etc etc . he loves his parents and looks up to his dad BIG time , dawg . shit , he even loves his siblings . even though he would never tell them .  FRIENDSHIPS : dash makes friends pretty easily !! he has a big personality and is always welcoming of people into his circle . the only people he doesn’t get along well with are people that he sees as threatening ( to his reputation , his ego , his family , etc . ) BEST FRIEND : we ain’t there yet . lemme get back to you . i know this man is insanely loyal though . best friend application linked below .  LOVE : never been in love before , definitely not looking for love . dash is a man who loves and appreciates hookup culture more than anything . nothing hits quite like having sex and not calling them back after . sorry if he breaks your muse’s heart . </3

[lifeofbouyd]

I just had to

Dear Bouyd,

There’s a lot of things that I’ve done in my past that I’m not too proud of. I'm sure we all have that sit and reflect on life moment that makes us wonder, what the fuck was I thinking? The funny thing about mistakes is, it either makes us or breaks us. I’m gonna tell you about one that made me and broke me at the same time. Please don’t judge.

I was only seventeen years old when I met Steven for the first time at a family reunion back in 2005. I’d normally find an excuse not to go, but this time, mom wasn’t having it. For every excuse, I made she had a resolution. So I was either gonna attend or pretend to be dead. I got dressed and headed out with them, hoping to have a terrible day. We pulled up to what seemed to be a bus park only to realize that it was the family parking lot for the event. Over one hundred vehicles, most of which were top of the line. These people seemed filthy rich and very organized. We walked across the park to greet who seemed to be the event organizers or the big money spenders in other words. I had seen the people once or twice as a child but I didn’t even know their names. There were so many people there that I felt lost. Kids running all over the place, elders playing dominoes, boys playing cricket and football and most the girls seemed to be gossiping. They were staring at me from the moment I got there. I felt like the new girl in school, with no friends or a reputation to protect me. I simply sat with the organizers and listened to them tell their life stories. I overheard them talking about Steven, saying he’s always late and they have a presentation for him. I then realized they had multiple gifts sitting behind them, one even had my name on it. “Speaking of the devil, here he comes.” Said, my mom. He pulled with his friends and they seemed somewhat elite. He wasn’t dressed as if he planned to take part in any of the events, he was rather “dapper” from head to toe, looking like a girls man. My mom gave out, “Yuh see how yuh cousin hot gyal, spoil brat dat eno.” I couldn’t help but laugh. He walked as if the ground adored him, with his head held high and a straight face. Almost everyone was staring at him. He kept staring at me while he hugged and greeted everyone and for some strange reason, it gave me butterflies. He walked slowly towards me and said, “I hope you’re just a friend of the family, I couldn’t live knowing I can’t have you.” My smile touched my ears as I blushed and stared at him. “Could I have your name and number in case I need to contact you in the future?” “I’m not sure if we’re family or not, but I do hope that we’re not”, I replied. To be honest, if he had come any closer to my Face I’d probably kiss him right then and there.

He invited me onto the field where we sat and chat for a while till his stupid ass friends came along. “Football time eno mad dawg” I wanted to squeeze their necks for taking him away. “As much as I’d love to stay and make you wet, duty calls, please forgive me.” I couldn’t help but smile at this niggas “cockiness”. He thought he had me. I watched them play for a while until I got super bored and decided to join the cheerleaders who kept screaming his name. He didn’t even score a goal so I really don’t see what they were going on about. He did look a bit “sexyish” in his gears now that I think of it. We chat for a while after the match before he left with his friends. We were both too shy to ask for each other’s number, so it was a total waste of a day. I got back home that night, filled my tub with bubble, and grabbed me a decent sized cucumber from the fridge. My clit was hard from the thought of him fucking me, slow and deep. I closed my eyes and rode that cucumber until my legs were shaking. I squirted within minutes. Holy fuck, he did actually have me weak. As tough as I thought I was, he had decoded me and left me to fend for myself. How stupid of me not to take his number, what the fuck is wrong with me? I was going crazy for Steven. Pussy jumping kinda crazy, want to be a big stinking freak with him kind of crazy. What if he is my cousin? I always heard old people say “cousin and cousin boil good soup.” Plus I’ve always found cousin porn on pornhub to be sexy. Just the thought made me want to climb a wall. How do I get to him, will I ever see him again? I fell asleep with my pillow clutching between my legs.

“Santana, Santana, wake up or we’re gonna leave you.” My mom shouted. I half opened my eyes to the sun shining through my window and mom standing at the door. She shouted again, even louder this time, “We’re going to the final day of the reunion, the dinner so put on something nice” I jumped up hearing such great news. I was gonna see him again after all. I looked across my room at the clock which was showing 1:36 pm, which couldn’t be right. At least ni to my knowledge, I don’t normally sleep that late. Or maybe it was that damn cucumber. I checked my phone hoping that the clock was fucked, but it was indeed correct. I rushed to the bathroom to take a shower then dragged my favorite dress and heels on. I did my face as if I was in a pageant and damped myself with my Dolce perfume. My dress was tight to the front so he’d see how bugged I was and the back sat gently on my hips and my but. It seemed like a runway kinda dress. I had one intention and one intention only, win Steven over. I knew would be competition, after all, these people are rich. What guarantees a broke girl like me a chance with him? It was either I go hard or go home. I was worried he’d be booked by the time I got there but funny enough, he saved me a seat right next to him. He was either as anxious as I was or pretty damn good at charming. He was super fly, from head to toe. His scent was to die for. I sniffed him so much my mouth tasted like him. He whispered one thing in my ear that made me have to rush to the bathroom to rub my clit. “I’d love for you to suck me and ride my dick right here, and ride it till I cum inside you.” He bit his lips and stared me dead in the eyes, “I bet you masturbated to the thought of me drilling you hard last night, how was it?” My underwear was soaking wet. We bumped into each while coming from the bathroom. He stole a slow wet kiss and braced his hard dick on my trembling legs. Again my pussy flooded, I melted into the wall. Anxiously I grabbed his dick and rubbed my hand gently across it. “I want to fuck you right now,” he said. Squeezing my neck, grabbing my ass and bracing his hard dick against me. He turned me around, now facing the wall with one hand on my shoulder. He slapped my ass hard and whispered in my ear, “I’m gonna fuck you here, be silent.” I arched my back and watched him lift my skirt to take a peek at my buff. I had never been so horny in my life. He rubbed his dick against my leg causing me to tremble. He shifts my thong and rubbed his big dick on my wet pussy. But by the time he could make his way inside me, my mom came calling. He ran for over in one of the girl’s bathroom and I acted as if I was washing hands.

I was dying for him, crying for him. Sigh, I wanted him so badly I didn’t even talk to my mom for days. The one chance I had, the one chance I created, gone to waste. I fucked my cucumber several times that night, trying to fill the gap, but that did nothing than make me hornier. He gave me his number but clumsily enough I didn’t save it. I felt like dying. Days passed and I was stuck with nothing but a fantasy. My boyfriend even left me for calling him, Steven. No boyfriend, no dick, no Steven 😔. I had given up on all hopes of ever seeing him again. After all, I had no contact with him nor anyone back there. So why torture myself. I woke up one morning to message I will never forget.

Message:

Good morning. I apologize for taking so long to get to you. It took quite some time to find you.

My dick is still hard and I can still feel your lips on mine. I miss you, come see me, please.

I sat there for a while, laughing to myself, thinking this was my stupid ass boyfriend looking some pussy. I replied with a “who this” only to get the shock of my life.

Message: It’s Steven. The one and only.

My panties soaked, my heart started racing, making it hard to breathe. I couldn’t believe for a second it was him so I called. His voice, sigh, shit. Now my pussy is wet all over again. He told me how he wanted to fuck me and make me suck his dick. He expounded on every single detail, from the foreplay to the orgasm. God, I came so hard. But how was I gonna see him? He lived all the way on the other side of the country. I thought long and hard and then it hit me. My dad was always saying I should go spend time with my family in the country. Steven lived just up the road from them so that was our best shot. Foolish enough they sent me the next day. Putting little red riding hood in the big, bad wolf’s mouth. I took all my sexy panties with me, even ones I’ve never worn before. I wanted him to feel like a king while taking my clothes off. He made arrangements for us to go to a party that night, some hot shot party at his friend’s place. I got my self dressed and anticipated his arrival. Patiently waiting for what’s to come. I was fine until he started whining on me, bracing his dick against my nice little ass. He banged me hard and made me super wet. He said he was ready, he had work early in the morning, so he’s gonna drop me off and we’ll link up in the morning. I got angry, super angry, as I thought he was going to fuck me. On our way back he made a detour, said he needed something at his house. I followed him inside only to see a room full of balloons and a card sitting on the bed. It read: Tonight I take what’s rightfully mine, take off your clothes or if you don’t mind I can always shift it to the side. Now he didn’t have to say it twice, I was butt fucking naked in less than five seconds. His dick stretched across his pants like a snake. I flicked his shirt off and swooshed his pants one side. We started kissing, deep and passionate. He squeezed me ass and nibbles on my tits, my body got so numb I could even feel the vibration of my clit. He sucked my nipples hard and finger fucked me till I came all over his hand. I laid on my back with my legs wide open, pulling him in to fuck the hell out of me. But he wasn’t going in that easily. He teased me, squeezed me and made me beg before sliding the head inside. I came again. He pushed and shoved and stroked me until I was numb. I couldn’t take no more. I pushed him on his back and stared at his big black dick. “You can suck it if you want you know, I won’t tell anyone but you.” He gave out. But I ain’t ever sucked a dick before and I sure as hell didn’t want to choke. “No teeth, just mouth,” he said. Believe it or not, I slapped my tongue around a couple of times, from ballot head, and from head to ball and back. I opened my mouth as wide as I could to take him down my throat, but I couldn’t even half his dick. Omg, my boyfriend begged me so many times to suck his dick and I wouldn’t. But for Steven, I suck him right now if I could. He fucked me even harder when I was finished. Making me squirt several times. With his dick half way in my tummy, he was sucking on my tits and rubbing my clit. He knew exactly where to push his dick and how long to hold it there. He fucked me for at least an hour before cumin. That was satisfaction guaranteed. No one has ever made me feel like that since the last time we fucked and I just can’t let him go.

Now u know it’s wrong to fuck my cousin, but god as my whiteness, I’d fuck him again and again if I could. Unfortunately, he’s now living overseas and I’m stuck with this empty feeling of incomplete. I just had to fuck him and I’m patiently waiting till he gets back home to fix me up again. Fuck me all over the place and make me rain. I masturbated several times while writing this and I’m still gonna masturbate again when reading it on your page. I have no regrets and I just hope y’all will love my story and not judge me.

Yours Truly,

Santana

“Step back, gonna come at you fast. I’m driving out of control, I’m gettin’ ready to crash. Won’t stop shakin’ up what I can, I serve it up a shot so suck it down like a man. Yeah, baby, I know what I am, and no, I don’t give a damn, and you’ll be loving it.” Keeps Gettin’ Better by Christina Aguilera

“I’m a sucker for pain, I got the squad tatted on me from my neck to my ankles. Pressure from the man got us all in rebellion, we gon’ go to war, yeah, without failure.

“Just when you think you’ve got me figured out, the season’s already changing. I think it’s cool you do what you do and don’t try to save me. I’m a bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a child, I’m a mother, I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I do not feel ashamed. I’m your hell, I’m your dream, I’m nothing in between. You know you wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m a bitch, I’m a tease, I’m a goddess on my knees. When you hurt, when you suffer, I’m your angel undercover. I’ve been numb, I’m revived, can’t say I’m not alive. You know I wouldn’t want it any other way.” Bitch by Meredith Brooks

 “Call me a bitch ‘cause I speak what’s on my mind. Guess it’s easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled. When a female fires back, suddenly big talker don’t know how to act. So he does what any little boy would do, making up a few false rumors or two. That for sure is not a man to me, slandering names for popularity. It’s sad you only get your fame through controversy, so now it’s time for me to come and give you more to say: this is for my girls all around the world who have come across a man who don’t respect their worth, thinking all women should be seen, not heard. So what do we girls? Shout louder.” Can’t Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera ft. Lil’ Kim

“The C is for the courage I possess through the drama, H is for the hurt but it’s all for the honor. A is for my attitude working through the patience. Money comes and goes so the M is for motivation. Gotta stay consistent, the P is to persevere, the I is for  integrity, innovative career. The O is optimistic, open and never shut, and the N is necessary ‘cause I’m never giving up. See, they ask me how I did it, I just did it from the heart. Crushing the competition, been doing it from the start.” The Champion by Carrie Underwood ft. Ludacris

“You can take my heart, you can take my breath, when you pry it from my cold, dead chest. This is how we rise up, heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train. This is how we rise up, heart is beating faster, feels like fire. Magic, static, call me a fanatic: it’s our world, they can never have it. This is how we rise up, it’s our resistance, you can’t resist us.” The Resistance by Skillet

“I never feared death or dying, I only fear never trying. I am whatever I am, only God can judge me now. One shot, everything rides on tonight. Even if I've got three strikes, I'mma go for it, this moment, we own it. And I'm not to be played with, because it can get dangerous. See these people I ride with? This moment, we own it.” We Own It by 2 Chainz ft. Wiz Khalifa

“Lay down, give up inside: she’d rather die. When you fall, so spent from emotion, she is what brings you to your feet. Where challenges lie on the verge of destruction. She pulls you back and she gives you wings. Death won’t hold you as tight as she will.” Her Portrait in Black by Atreyu

“The street’s a liar, I’m gonna lure you into the dark. My cold desire to hear the boom, boom, boom of your heart. The danger is I’m dangerous and I might just tear you apart.” Kill of the Night by Gin Wigmore

“I’m, I’m stronger than I ever thought that I could be, baby. I used to go with the flow, didn’t really care ‘bout me. You might think that I can’t take it but you’re wrong. ‘Cause now I’m stronger than yesterday, now it’s nothing but my way. My loneliness ain’t killin’ me no more.” Stronger by Britney Spears

“So I guess I’ll go home into the arms of the girl that I love, the only love I haven’t screwed up. She’s so hard to please, but she’s a forest fire.” Liability by Lorde

“Hold me close and hold me fast, this magic spell you cast. This is la vie en rose. When you kiss me, heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose. When you press me to your heart, I’m in a world apart, a world where roses bloom. And when you speak, angels sing from above. Everyday words seem to turn into love songs. Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be la vie en rose.” La Vie En Rose by Bing Crosby

“You were always there for me, the tender wind that carried me, a light in the dark shining your love into my life. You've been my inspiration, through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you.” Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion

RIP Jon Huber.

Words can’t do justice. To all that knew him, he was a devoted father, husband and wrestling superstar. Gone far too young at the age of 41 due to a non-COVID-19 lung issue. We’ll always remember Brodie Lee, Luke Harper and Jon Huber.

Kudos to All Elite Wrestling for a tremendous tribute Wednesday night on TNT. Extremely well done on every front.

WHAT is @AlexaBliss_WWE thinking? WHAT is @RandyOrton thinking?!#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/tBXlzsBHve

Alexa Bliss vs. Randy Orton

That was something I will say that. I didn’t know whether to love it, hate it or just walk away from it. Yes, it was some sight seeing Alexa Bliss call out Randy Orton, begging him to light her on fire as he did to The Fiend. Of course, we don’t know whether Orton dropped the match to a fully engulfed with gas Bliss as the show ended. It was indeed a true cliffhanger in that mode. But, do we really believe that Orton would now intentionally murder two people on national TV? I’m not quite sure, other than shock value, what the WWE is looking for with this angle. We’ll all see Monday night for the next episode of RAW.

Thumbs Up:

Keith Lee vs. Sheamus was as good as expected. I really did think it was going to be Sheamus going over in this one, but I do think it works better having Lee get another shot at McIntyre while Sheamus stews the defeat and puts off an encounter with his BFF for a bit.

AJ Styles vs. Elias was very good. Good to see two “bad guys” go at it and just get after it without the old heel cliches. Mustafa Ali vs. Ricochet was its usual good stuff. I wish they would come to a resolution to the matter as its not helping either side with the same ol’ story each week. I’d like to see a darker side or Ricochet in my mind. Take off the masks from RETRIBUTION and form a true stable that has a chance to do something.

They were right all along…@mikethemiz is ONCE AGAIN Mr. Money in the Bank! #WWERaw @TheRealMorrison pic.twitter.com/Xvt6T6VHYl

The Miz getting his Money In The Bank briefcase back is a good thing. Having him lose to Gran Metalik to bring him down wasn’t needed. It only would’ve made sense to bring The Miz down if they had dragged it out for a couple of weeks. Having him down for about an hour or so did nothing. They need to build The Miz up to more than a cartoon character of comedy to truly be a challenger worthy of Drew McIntyre’s WWE Championship.

Thumbs Down:

Charlotte Flair vs. Nia Jax – I just can’t get behind anything that Nia Jax is doing these days. Charlotte Flair is The Queen, but there’s no flow or chemistry when these two get together. Why waste it? And another thing. Let Shayna Baszler be a bad ass by herself. It would work better for her.

Angel Garza. Please, I’m begging them to stop the romancing the rose storyline. It’s been old since they started it back around WrestleMania. It’s even older now. It’s doing nothing to move Garza forward. At least he got the 24/7 Championship victory over R-Truth on Tik Tok!

Pete Dunne vs. Roderick Strong. The rivalry continues between the Kings of NXT and The Undisputed Era. Dunne’s look really good the past couple of weeks in singles competition against TUE. As for Roddy, well, he continues to be Strong.

Another year of the Dusty Rhodes Classic. Adam Cole and Roderick Strong make an interesting entry. I’d love to see WWE bring in a few teams from outside NXT to make things interesting too.

— WWE (@WWE) December 31, 2020

Balor vs. O’Reilly. That’s about as good as it gets on the mic with these two. You could feel the passion, the reality, the urgency and yes, we’re ready for round 2! Adding Karrion Kross into the mix with Scarlett just puts it over the top. Doomsday is here. Tick. Tock. Oh, hi Damien Priest. That was a very good segment!

Rhea vs. Raquel vignette. The Last Woman Standing match is going to be awesome. Let’s just say that New Year’s Evil is stacked folks!

Highway Robbery:

Shotzi Blackheart over Pat McAfee for Breakout Star of the Year. There’s no bigger Shotzi fan than me, but even I can admit that McAfee took NXT by Storm and is a star in the making. He proved it on the mic, behind the scenes and yes, even in the ring during WarGames. Here’s hoping the WWE doesn’t keep him on the shelf too long.

Lucha Like!

Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado showing up to take on Legado del Fantasmo was a cool surprise. Long live Lucha Libre! Pretty cool week for Gran Metalik with wins on both RAW and NXT over 48 hours.

Meh:

Year-end awards presentation. They were kind of just there. Obviously, the tie-in with Balor vs. O’Reilly for the match of the year was a home run to set up their in-ring promo. All the rest, I could’ve done with online.

Johnny Gargano’s curse-breaking win over Leon Ruff did what it needed to do. That’s about all.

SMACKDOWN

RESULTS

Non-title Intercontinental Championship Match: Big E defeated King Corbin by DQ

— WWE (@WWE) January 2, 2021

Sure, on its face, another Kevin Owens vs. Jey Uso match seems like filler. But, oh no. Not when the Head of the Table is involved! First off, Owens and Uso beat the snot out of each other with KO getting the expected knockout victory. Then, and you could see Roman Reigns foreshadow it earlier in the show by saying “they” don’t understand, “they’re” trying to take away what we have, Reigns was going to get Owens for making a match against Reigns’ wishes. Every week, they take the best angle in the WWE up a notch! It’s the very first attack through the ThunderDome crowd! I’ll be honest though, I thought Adam Pearce was in danger of an attack too. Maybe that’s next week?

Thumbs Up:

— WWE (@WWE) January 2, 2021

I like the way they are bringing a lot of people into the mix for Big E’s Intercontinental Title run. Sami Zayn as former champ, King Corbin as first challenge and now Apollo Crews as friend and Open Challenge acceptor for next week will keep it fresh. Zayn is awesome no matter what and making Big E look strong out of the gate will eventually make him a contender for Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship.

The Riott Squad keeps winning. After months of going nowhere, it’s good to see Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott on a winning streak even if it is beating Tamina and Natalya with the help of the annoying one, Billie Kay. There’s got to be a better way to use Billie, right?

#SmackDown Women's Champion @SashaBanksWWE has encountered an obstacle in this tag team match… a negative one! pic.twitter.com/9lqE7jV4Om

— WWE (@WWE) January 2, 2021

Sasha. Carmella. Bianca. Bayley. Getting them all together in the same ring makes Friday night a winner for all of us. Loved that Carmella gets the pin to get her some juice back after losing at TLC. Damn, Reggie has some moves! Can’t wait to see him in a ring soon too!

WOAH. @SonyaDevilleWWE is BACK on #SmackDown! pic.twitter.com/AcId1KWFDV

— WWE (@WWE) January 2, 2021

Sonya Deville is back! That’s good for business although we do need an explanation as to how one loses a loser leaves town match and then returns back so soon. We know the reality of it due to her stalking case, but how the WWE plays it on TV will be interesting.

I could’ve done without the drums and the predictions, but that was one helluva beatdown by Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler on TSP. The Dirty Dawgs deserve some gold in their future!

Interesting:

Otis & Daniel Bryan teaming up was fun. Chad Gable + the YES movement sure is inspirational. Will it be more than a one-time effort? Even Otis looks better with Bryan, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura in the same ring. The three amigos salute at the end was hilarious!

Annoying:

Billie Kay’s gimmick.  

Parting Shots:

With so many tag teams forming on the fly in the WWE these days, I’d love to see an old-school Crockett Cup tournament in the WWE. Take it across all three brands, maybe bring in some indy teams as well and I think it would be a fun event for 2021. There’s absolutely room to make some odd and unique pairings and match-ups instead of the old and tired matches.

Coming up this week:

RAW Legends Night WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Keith Lee

NXT – New Year’s Evil hosted by Dexter Lumis NXT Championship: Finn Balor vs. Kyle O’Reilly Damien Priest vs. Karrion Kross Fight Pit Match: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Timothy Thatcher Last Woman Standing: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Gonzalez NXT Cruiserweight Championship: Santos Escobar vs. Gran Metalik

HAYLIE MCCLENEY TALKS OLYMPICS DELAY AND SOFTBALL’S FUTURE

Haylie McCleney has been a member of Team USA Softball since 2013. She was a four-time All-American at Alabama, where she ended her career as the program’s all-time leader in batting average (.447), on base percentage (.569), walks (199), and triples (16). She spoke to  Women’s Sports about how she’s handling the Olympics’ postponement and what it means for the future of her sport.

Softball gets put back into the Olympics for the first time in years. And then Tokyo 2020 is pushed back. Walk me through that.

It was definitely better that it was postponed instead of canceled. Those two terms carry very different weights. I do think that we have a lot of really smart people in this world that are going to make health a priority at the Olympics, not only for the athletes, but for the fans and families that hopefully get to attend. I would have been a little bit nervous if we would have continued to go on tour and continue to compete and try to make the Olympics happen in a time where we're under a global pandemic. So there's a little bit of gratitude there.

Obviously from a completely selfish standpoint, there was an initial period of disappointment because your entire life is built around this week in July. I mean, I was supposed to get married after the Olympics, and now I have no idea when that is going to happen. Other players were going to move or buy houses or maybe retire and pursue a career outside of softball. All those plans have come to a halt.

But I think the more we just accepted the fact that it was going to be delayed, there were a lot of really cool opportunities and stories that came out of it. Most other Olympic athletes are waiting four years in between Olympic games. For softball, it's a little bit different. We've been waiting 12 years and now we're going to wait 13. So I don't think patience is lost on us at all as a sport. We've had to deal with the adversity of not knowing if or when we're ever going to be in the Olympics.

There has been some talk that the sport will be included in the 2024 and 2028 Olympics, but there’s no guarantee. Does that make this time even more important for the team?

For us, it's this Olympics or nothing because we don't know what the future holds. Some of us still could be playing in 2028, but that's if softball even gets back in. For us, it is critical that, for the survival of our sport, it needs to be in the Olympics. It needs to be talked about, it needs to be discussed. International softball needs to be covered not only in our country, but countries across the world. That's why I think that we are so scared of the Olympics being canceled. Our one and only shot could be taken away from us. And obviously we understand that the priority is people's health and safety and well-being. We do understand that. That doesn't make it any less difficult to think that the Olympics could still be cancelled if things do not get better. We're in a tough spot. For us, we might not be back, with or without next summer’s games. We don't know.

Your team was one of the first to name its entire Olympic roster prior to the cancelation. And it has since been determined that the 2020 roster will remain intact for 2021. How do you feel about that decision?

We're very happy with it. Very pleased with it. We had formed a bond as the Olympic roster, and softball is very culture driven and team driven. It's not necessarily always about talent, but it's about how a group of 18 can work together. And we were just starting to figure out that process when our tour was suspended. So I think it was the right decision by USA Softball. I think it was the right decision by the United States Olympic Committee to allow us to keep that same roster because we all earned the title of being an Olympian.

We're meeting every week and talking with each other and continuing to build some of those relationships. Before the postponement it was six months to prepare for six games and I really liked our chances. Now you're giving us 18 months as a unit saying, "Hey, this is our roster. This is what we're sticking with. It's up to you. Let's get better. Let's find a way to become closer. When we're given our opportunity, let's not waste it, let's make the most of it and go for a gold medal.” I really like our chances.

There are a few players on the Olympic roster, including Bubba Nickles and Rachel Garcia, who will return to UCLA in 2021 to play out their final college season. Do you think that having some teammates miss training leading up to next summer will affect the team?

They took 2020 off already so I think you don't want to take away from their college experience for two entire years. And I think having them play highly competitive college softball is going to help them and us in the long run. I don't think it's going to hurt them. They're still going to be involved in our team meetings. They are just going to basically be training at a different location is how I'm looking at it. What's good is that we did get to know them quite a bit. I mean Rachel has been on the team before. Dejah was on the team in '19 and we have gotten to know Bubba while we were on tour and training so much together.

So I don't think it's going to be an issue whatsoever. We're still trying to figure out as an organization what our tour even looks like. For us to be uncertain, it wasn't really fair for them to sacrifice another year of missing out on a college softball season when we weren't even sure what our training camps and schedule for training as a team is even going to be.

What happens now. Any talk about what training will be like leading up to 2021?

I'm still training completely on my own. So I'm at home. I'm not going to the gym. I'm not going to a park or anything like that. I'm trying my best to stay at home and still follow all of the guidelines. And I think the majority of the team is that way also. Some people are starting to get back into their facilities. I personally am not. I'm also in between houses right now. So it's a little bit more complicated I think for me. But yeah, I mean, we're used to this. We always train on our own. We're usually on our own for nine months out of the year and then go compete for three months out of the year. So it's not something that we are not used to. We are having team meetings every week, which I really, really enjoy. Just because it allows me to get to know my teammates a little bit more. We're actually doing mini TED talk Tuesdays where one person on the team presents for 10 to 15 minutes on something that they're passionate about outside of softball. It's been cool to hear what people are interested in. But as things start to open back up, I think you're going to start to see us kind of get back into that normalcy of what we've been used to for the past five, six, seven years of you're on your own training, do what you need to do, be ready when your report date is. And I have all the confidence in the world that everyone on the team is doing their best to stay ready to compete at a high level still.

You are playing for the Scrap Yard Dawgs this summer. Can you talk to me a little bit about the league you are playing in and can you give updates on what the summer games look like given the pandemic?

So with Scrap Yard and the Pride, we are basically going on a tour around two different travel ball events and we're going to be competing against each other. The Scrap Yard and Pride are not a part of National Pro FastPitch. Scrap Yard and Pride are independent professional organizations. So that's why they decided to come together and form the tour as all of these travel tournaments and things are starting to open back up. That's the avenue that we took to be able to compete. And we've been assured that there are going to be plenty of safety measures in place, testing and sanitation, disinfecting, all of that fun stuff will be a priority when we play.
