Since Peri has problems with flight does irep also have them or is he fine

Irep's a talented flyer actually! While Peri's wings feels heavy for him to use, Irep's are light as a feather. He's an expert at navigating the air, and can outdo even a Pixie in flight!!

This has made him all sorts of popular and unpopular among jock-like fairies.

Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]

#fairly oddparents #fop #fop a new wish #fop irep #irep #asks #itty bitties fop au #it certainly helps that irep studied aerodynamics when building all his lil machineries and weapons as a baby #he's really good at controlling his wing span and movement to increase drag and speed!#this anti fairy can fly backwards even!! that's one of the most difficult moves a pixie can do!!#irep was both popular and unpopular during p.e in school #everybody wants him on their team for Snip the Tail #but he's. the WORST teammate to have. that man hogs glory AND will sacrifice his own mates to win #so he's usually either omitted entirely or has to be nerf'd #honestly sports is one of the very few things irep can excel at #as its also the 1 thing peri sucks absolute ass at haha #although somehow irep's never able to maintain popularity over it. everyone always gushes at peri when he manages 1 score in #but never when irep carries his team #haha funny how that works

forever hilarious to me that tennis is promoted as this prestigious highbrow big-brain sport when most tennis fans these days are like. yeah this is my favorite player. yeah i don't know why they're like that. yes they are stupid. no i will not choose somebody else.

#wta tennis #atp tennis #i feel like the era of...shall we say 'federer-esque' players is waning #which i think can in part be related to the loss of the one-handed-backhand #as the sport moves more toward a necessity for fitness and athleticism players do not put as much emphasis on 'art'#which imo is fine! i think the 'art' of tennis is too protected in some ways. which i maybe will expand on later.#but i think it's too much for the tags of a (mostly) silly post #but yeah you can hear a lot of commentators touch on it #i know nadal even said something abt it recently(ish)#but i think as tennis is gradually less associated with this abstract 'image' (e.g. the obsession with federer's 'grace' and 'class')#players are coming in thinking 'this is a physical battle and i am going to win' and very much leaning into the *competition*#which not to say that they're ignoring/denying the mental aspects at all because i actually do think many players are very strategic/aware #and in truth i think many tennis players ARE actually very smart #but i also think it's less apparent because more and more players are able to just hit the shit out of the ball and call it a day #which leaves you with the occasional shot/point/game/set/match etc where it seems like they don't know what the fuck they're doing #but you think about most sports which evolve in phases #it's very normal for certain player profiles to become more or less popular as the landscape of the sport changes #or as new techniques/strategies are developed #or as new communities/populations become interested!#extreme example but think of like. high jump's fosbury flop. that was one guy!#one guy who changed the entire fucking sport! so it makes perfect sense that tennis is continuing to evolve #given how many unique players have come and gone #and how much the sport is changing externally as well as internally #anyways. this got out of hand but i love sports and i love tennis and i love my brainless players.#this whole post was inspired by rewatching sabalenka v boulter and aryna completely missed an overhead by like five feet. lol #love her <3

“I knew my personality would make me a fan favourite.” Daniel on the Sunday Mirror

#people can laugh as much as they want at him for being a DtS merchant or someone who’s apparently just here for the flash #but this man single-handedly brought a new wave of fans into the sport and you can argue whether it’s good or bad #but f1 wouldn’t be the billion dollars sport it’s become without him #and him taking advantage of that popularity to cash in on it???#devious #because why should he not make bank from that popularity when he might never get a championship??#call him an entertainer or racer #he knows exactly who he is and at the end of the day he’s the one laughing to the bank #I like to think of him as Machiavelli Daniel rather than the daniel people like to think is just vibes and loud #daniel ricciardo #vegas23

Just saw the F1 (Brad Pitt) movie trailer thanks I hate it

#one of the worst thing I have seen in a while #the title is...is nothing. NOTHING. Jesus I am not saying come up with the best title ever but 'F1' is not a movie title.#it's an abbreviation of the name of the sport #hell Rush wasn't a brilliant titoe either but it was something at least #'who said anything about safe' jesus christ I know I myself am a relatively new fan but I have to ask #does Brad Pitt know anything about this sport #is someone going to explain to him that hurting oneself/dying in a car crash doesn't make you cooler #that it IS important that a car is safe when the sport is already so dangerous in itself #I will only pirate this movie for the cameos (Gunther and Max are who I saw for now)#but God it already looks like a shitshow #and the song...I love Queen but it really looks like they wanted to put a generic ass popular rythmic song #it's like they put the same effort in choosing the song that they put in choosing the title #the bare minimum #I swear I didn't watch the trailer wanting to hate it. I swear. The disappointment is just that much.#f1 #formula 1 #f1 movie #brad pitt #Edit: WRONG there are more drivers in the movie which simultaneously makes me happier and sadder

just had the very novel experience of getting into a new ship, fully aware it would be a rare pair, hopping on to ao3 to find a fic and being pleasantly surprised there’s a little over 500 for me to enjoy, setting the language to english, only for that count to dwindle down to 17 LOL

#this is vee speaking #ah yes the rare pair curse strikes yet again lmao #tho it being more popular overseas to the point even the fics are affected not just art!!!!!!! that’s a new one for me lmao #part of me thinks this is because it’s gotten a new wave with the movie since it’s so old and predates modern fandom by decades #tho genuinely that’s on me lol who gets into a sports anime and ships the mc with the best friend and not the rival LMAO

Sheffield Wednesday, Gone by Friday?

Thai businessman and owner of EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday, Dejphon Chansiri, is causing quite a stir within the team and community. He has appealed to supporters to donate £2 million in order to prevent financial fines and a transfer restriction on the team.

To quote, “If 20,000 people gave £100, then it's £2 million, and it’s clear.”

Following this, in an interview with the Sheffield Star, Chansiri stated that staff and players might not receive payment as well due to the current hardship or “cash-flow issues”.

However, the Sheffield Wednesday owner has made fast enemies with the community, in an attempt to convince fans to donate, he declared “If you don’t want to save your club, then don’t call yourselves the owners and me the custodian”

Following an incident in the previous month, Chansiri took aim at Wednesday supporters, stating he was halting funding the team because of the unjust treatment he had gotten from the supporters, “I am not willing to inject more money while I am being treated unfairly by those fans.”

He defended himself saying the following, "You do not understand how important this club is to me and my family. I have been here nine years and it is a part of my life." This whole situation has caused severe unrest at the club.

As of now, the future of Sheffield Wednesday is up in the air. Debts are to be paid ideally by November 10th.

Do you think a resolution can be found in time?

Just went to my first bull riding show and from now on America, Brazil, and Australia are the bull riding trio to me

#I have decided this based on going to a bull riding show #and there being riders from the USA Brazil and Australia there #and only those three countries #I mean like 40% of them were from Brazil #and 3 from Australia #I knew at least one Brazilian rider would be there because he was the champ and got mentioned in the news coverage beforehand #but I was surprised at how many Brazilian riders were there #I didn’t know it was a popular sport there #and then there was a group with the Australian flag in the crowd too #probably the families of the riders but one of them also placed like fourth in the entire night so they had an okay run #hws america #hws Australia #hws Brazil #anyway now I imagine all of them get together to watch bull riding

i can't believe you saw your first f1 grand prix!!! what were your thoughts?? i only recently became an f1 girlie myself but it is so so much fun to me. how'd you get into it???

it was so much fun!! i know it's not like a lot happened during the race (literally how were the redbulls so ahead of everyone?? but also my friend told me they breached the budget cap and i was like 😲 drama in the house!!), but cars going zoom is still super entertaining to me. and as I said it's fascinating from an engineering standpoint too! I'm really in awe of all the technical skills in mechanics, thermodynamics, aerodynamics etc that come into play to make one of those beasts of a car. & I also liked how, despite the fact the pilot is alone in his car, there's still an element of team spirit because he's communicating back and forth with his engineers and stuff.

I wasn't totally f1 illiterate before because it's practically impossible to escape it in France, but I think the hype really took on a whole new dimension here recently for three reasons: a) the Formula One Netflix series, b) Charles Leclerc, and c) Alpine's rise in power. 90% of people I know started following F1 for either one of these reasons, but I have two friends in particular who are long-time fans and they invited me over specifically to watch the grand prix last night, so that's how that happened 💞 I'm definitely gonna be watching more!! especially Monaco because it's such a cultural moment in sport <3

#lisa ☀#as far as i remember i always heard about f1 absent-mindedly #i mean im 20 and spanish so i dont think i've ever lived in a world where fernando alonso wasnt making headlines #but yeah i feel like f1 has definitely been gaining traction lately in france! i'd say it's the 3rd most popular sport rn?#after football (soccer) and rugby?#i was actually IN montecarlo a few days before the gp like. 10 years ago #and 1) the logistics and preparations for these races are INSANE #and 2) it's actually mindblowing to think they drive through those streets. like HOW #but yeah is this the beginning of a new hobby for me? an obsession even?? who knows

what are ur thoughts on the winners room trope?

ooooo okay surface level analysis: i like winner’s room fics :)

etwas tieferes: i think it’s cool that it’s (afaik) unique to hockey fandom and i enjoy the way it integrates a lot of unspoken rules in hockey with desire/makes them a physical/tangible reality… also the narrative potentials/world-building it opens up can be fun because there’s not really a set of rules for the “winner’s room” trope. are there in-universe rules? who gets chosen? who’s exempt? who gets to pick? where’s it going down? is it the entire room or one guy? what if your (ex)boyfriend is on another team? does somebody need to be taught a lesson or do you need to remind someone who got traded you still love them? also, most important, winner’s room gives you the chance to put two random-ass guys you saw interact for 0.002 seconds and went “hmmm. interesting” about into a Situation and i love that

#yeah buddy!! i love answering questions!!! unironically i have so many opinions!!!!#refraining from putting this in the main text but had to go: yeah who doesn’t love a good g*ngb*ng #it also doesn’t just have to be a bunch of dudes fucking though per always: i think winner’s room fics can bring up interesting dialogues #about the idea of bodily autonomy and self-sacrifice or sacrifice in sports #every fic can utilize a trope their own way so you might have lighter versions or heavier versions and #tw: sa #dub-con/CNC elements which. given the truth of SA and abuse in hockey it’s valuable to have tools to explore and i feel like i need to #address that when i talk about this? obvi dead dove do not eat for some fics re:winner’s room but i think a lot of them do talk about #control and power to some extent if you were to do a deep literary analysis. which we don’t need to. sometimes it’s enough to read a fic one #time because you liked the main pairing and didn’t know SHIT about the flyers and then come back to it years later and absolutely lose your #goddamn mind about the fact that actually you DID know about travis konecny before you thought you did and at one point there were all these #guys that you now know and love who were just like. random fuckers in the sides of the fic. i tend to do that a lot bc i will read for #nearly everything (if i love u. i will read your works even if i don’t know anything about the fandom and also i am always willing to jump #on new ships) so also tangentially i think winner’s room fics are a lot of fun because you can see a lot of different interactions between a #lot of guys like not only is it this guy and this guy but also this guy and that guy and these two interacting around the sacrifice etc etc #tangled web many layers und so weiter. not sure if any of that makes sense but also i’m gonna tag for mentions of sa/wjc/hockey canada stuff #i don’t even really know if winner’s room functions as well even in other sports bc of the Team Identity in hockey & cultural context #liv in the replies #winner’s room can be layered with SO many other kinks and tropes and aus and also just like. i like it & that’s probably all i needed to say #also obvi re: rules for trope there aren’t ever any there’s just some popular variations and we can kinda see some of those forming #but i’m not even sure if winner’s room has its own tag on the archive? i’d have to check i know i have a few saved in my bookmarks at least #OH also if you made it this far. wasn’t sure if this was like a ‘do u got recs’ or a ‘what’s your moral stance’ or ‘hey is this something ur #into’ so. good faith good vibes y’all and if this wasn’t what u meant please elaborate the question i do love answering things #ty for the ask!!!!#for the record i do watch hockey like the leonardo dicaprio pointing meme finding milliseconds of interaction to go HAHA GAY NARRATIVE about

The 2nd seed Celtics play the 3rd seed Sacramento Kings tomorrow. Robert Williams is also set to return tomorrow as well. This is huge news for the Celtics as he is a core to their rim protection and defense as a whole. This game is a must win for the Celtics if they want to hold on to the 2nd see or compete for the 1st seed.
