DAL@DET Postgame: Joe Pavelski (04.10.23)

You kind of play it (hitting 1000 points) down as it's happening because you really don't want to think about it; it takes you off your game a little bit. But when it went in, it was a good moment. You definitely feel that it means something, especially seeing the teammates come off the bench.

Adidas x PRADA Football Boot Collection

Adidas and Prada unveil ´adidas Football for Prada´- specially engineered releases of iconic adidas boot franchises that combine the sophisticated codes of Prada, with high-performance football technologies unique to adidas. The collection reimagines the three leading adidas products - the Predator Accuracy, the Copa Pure and the X Crazyfast.

For the collection, dedicated to men and women, the two companies combine to explore and celebrate the fundamentals of their respective DNAs – adidas performance footwear reimagined with luxury materials, meticulous craftsmanship and design details synonymous with Prada’s Linea Rossa. Creating design cohesion across the pack, all footwear has a lining and upper expertly crafted with the finest leather - using the material in fresh ways for adidas in football - the bold red iconography of Linea Rossa, and a clean mono-colour base of black, white and silver.

Unveiled on a line-up of some of the best footballers in the world including Catarina Macario or Paulo Dybala in Copa Pure, Rafael Leão in X Crazyfast and Pedri in Predator Accuracy, amongst other players due to wear the boots on-pitch, the adidas Football for Prada collection will be available in limited numbers via the adidas CONFIRMED App from 22nd – 25th May 2023, as well prada.com and selected Prada stores from the 25th of May, 2023.

The design codes of the boot collection will also be showcased through an exclusive kit for the FIFA 23 Ultimate TeamTM video game – with animated in-game versions of a jersey and shorts in both black and white that further celebrate the combination of Prada and adidas, transcending the partnership from the physical to the digital/gaming world.

THE ‘ADIDAS FOOTBALL FOR PRADA´ COLLECTION

The collection consists of the adidas Football for Prada X Crazyfast, Prada Predator Accuracy and Prada Copa Pure.

ADIDAS FOOTBALL FOR PRADA X CRAZYFAST

The X Crazyfast sees the original silhouette reinvented with a premium leather, whilst staying true to the lightweight structure and translucent visual that the X franchise is renowned for.

With this, leather – interspersed with adidas’ Fusion Skin - prominently flows throughout the design, including the heel lining for an elevated material finish without compromising the core visual values of the X.

The structure of X’s semi-transparent mono-mesh material on the mid-foot cage has been adapted from the original grids to showcase the triangles of Prada’s brand identity. This is continued throughout the silhouette with the Linea Rossa red logo that adorns the heel of the boot.

Created at the intersection of style and performance, the boot remains first and foremost made for sport at the highest level. The tooling features adidas’s innovative SPEEDFRAME technology, incorporated with a lightweight sole plate designed for responsive acceleration.

ADIDAS FOOTBALL FOR PRADA COPA PURE

The Copa Pure is a nod to the design codes of both brands’ vast archives. Its shimmering silver leather upper, synonymous with Prada, is finished with a leather lace cover – paying homage to shoes of adidas’ past, and Prada’s iconic application of the finest materials.

This full-leather shoe is completed with the integration of Fusion Skin, which offers the player delicate control on the ball, and soft cushioning on the forefoot via a traditional quilted effect for that trademark Copa touch.

A Torsion Frame Soleplate helps keep players balanced to perform at the highest level.

ADIDAS FOOTBALL FOR PRADA PREDATOR ACCURACY

The Predator Accuracy is reimagined with a nubuck finish for the first time which is wrapped in Fusion Skin for a lighter, performance-first end-product. The boot is finished in a bold classic black, interrupted only by the Prada Linea Rossa stripe of the tongue and heel – which becomes translucent as it hits the tooling on the sole, and application of performance rubber on the upper.

These soft ‘spikes’ feature on the medial and lateral sides of a Predator boot - extending coverage on the surface, to optimize ball control and shooting accuracy. The spikes have also been transformed into triangles, in celebration of Prada’s design DNA.

Meanwhile the outsole’s FACETFRAME delivers stability, highly efficient transition, and dynamic traction for powerful movement on the pitch. The stud configuration has been optimised for use on firm ground.

The adidas Football for Prada collection will be available today on the adidas CONFIRMED app and via prada.com and select Prada stores.

ROs senses of humor?

Like what they laugh at or what jokes they make? I guess I'll try to answer both:

Y: Laughs at more niche jokes, might laugh at a slip of words (not like maliciously with someone who has trouble speaking, but the usage of a word that definitely wasn't meant to come out), will laugh at things that take them off guard. They make more dry, sarcastic jokes, but not at the expense of themselves or people they care about. Usually about a topic or people they dislike. Courtly stuff.

C: Laughs at a variety of things, but won't if it's targeting someone. Not saying they wouldn't find some targeted humor funny, they simply wouldn't show it. Doesn't really make jokes on purpose because they feel they deliver punchlines stiffly.

E: Will laugh at anything if they find it even a bit funny, might even if they don't so no one feels bad. Doesn't tolerate jokes about their religion or specifically about how religious they are, even when it comes to MC. Makes really stupid jokes or makes jokes only few understand, no in between.

M: Jokes have to take them off guard to get a laugh, but might smile at really, really stupid jokes. Makes deadpan jokes to their knights.

Z: If their guard is down, they'll laugh at anything. Literally anything. However, very little can make them laugh if they're not comfortable. Makes a variety of jokes, the only RO to specialize in self-deprecation and like gallows humor.

L: Laughs at jokes told by people they have a soft spot for (kids and the common teamTM), doesn't matter what they say, if they clock it's supposed to be a joke they'll at least smile (well MC iffy </3). Doesn't really tell jokes, maybe makes one or two dad jokes to ya know and calls it a day.

M E, BurSTING Through THE DOOR: I, for one, think Koushiro *ESPECIALLY* deserves to have *MULTIPLE* 1 to 2-WEEK~ long breaks throughout future years of Helping Out The TeamTM if not mOrE--

[jupiter-reimagined]

Stone, staring at Butcher: I don't know what Sylvester and Kali see in him. I'd rather take Martin.

Me: He's straight, Stone.

Stone: At least he's a DILF.

Guess Stone said "Nah, I'll only show up in this AU to check on Kali."

... marcus is a half-dilf- okay. im now being glared at by elizabeth. sorry queen, it wont happen again, i prommy

when in doubt, brute force a scenario so the dream teamTM (aka syl n stone) can be back together. but alas. im. not braining. esp for this au

... when in even bigger doubt, selfship it out. aka. staring at werewolf kali and stone. uh. for just. no reason. i just love them both

[cacaitos]

continuing from last night.. some weeks ago i was complaining about seinen mangaka writing female characters and that sometimes they shouldn't even bother if they're gonna write the like shit like if they're gonna write about men being shit keep it to other men if you're gonna do it like that 💀 and like they should think how they interact w other men in general or whatever but tbh that last part on further reflection isn't so much about introspection about the nature of sexism itself or whatever but that IT often hinders and/or acts as a crutch in many stories so that ...

so like my growing distaste with The Girl (love interest / object of attraction/ the Girl Of The TeamTM / etc) on top of and besides of like respect women reasons, is that it becomes quite tired AND disappointing that guys' manga stories' ablity to depict emotion seem to be limited by a certain invisible ceiling that stops it right before what could be more weighty characterization.. like because they treat The Girl with a degree of Otherness (quite stubbornly at that) despite a good amount of times technically being quite relevant and time consuming characters i mean that the narrative strengths the male character has feel like they stop at the border when they meet with the female character's. or that there's a 'set' of potentially compelling emotions that stop on side and the other also potentially compelling 'set' gets strictly delegated to the Other Assigned Character. but like Every Time you read a shonen/seinen..

[anitalianfrie]

which football teams do you support??

what is football.....

jokes aside: when i was little i used to support my city's football team (which i'm not telling u bc i don't want to dox myself thank you very much) we used to be a big teamTM back in the good ol days (like. 100 years ago) (no seriously it's like one of the oldest clubs in italy) but now we suck majorly and we are in serie C. i just googled all of this btw my interested in them was lost past elementary school.

now i support italy. europe championship/world championship are the only matches i watch and only when we're playing, otherwise i don't care at all.

i can tell you who i don't support tho: juventus. it was a thing with my grandpa and they are my sworn enemy team i hope they lose everything <3

[tulipanthousa]

this is especially funny because logan is right there but almost nobody knows he's trans. so you catch roman like "our Superhero TeamTM is lacking gender diversity :/" and logan and remus are just standing there like 🧍‍♂️🧍

Jan and Remus deserve to fucking spoil each other to their "rotten" (read sappy) hearts desires ❤️

Love this story so much. Also did the paps get a picture? Did anyone find them?

okay hear me out aksjhakjdh ive had this idea for a while that because of Janus's preference for a vulva during public sex at least one person has caught an eyeful r posted a pic and someone walked away thinking that Janus is trans. i dont know if it was this time in particular but i imagine a fan cornering him and rambling nervously about how cool it is to see such a famous trans super and janus is so cool and should be considered a hero etc etc

and then janus is like "oh you lovely thing, thank you. im not trans tho" [pats their head and walks away]

can't for the life of me figure out what "cursed silhouette" your amazing art of cioccolata in latex stocking is referring to. It's 5am and it's driving me insane

Hello, Lovely Anon!

So I had to dig a bit because I have... like four or so pictures with that outfit hgn but I know what you mean now, and don’t worry, it’s a very simple answer!

I made the first latex-stocking Cioccolata pic after episode 10 of Golden Wind aired! The “cursed silhouette” I mentioned in my fanart was Cioccolata’s silhouette that DavidPro added to the anime adaptation (since in the manga, it’s not shown who killed Sorbet and Gelato, and it was implied it might’ve been the boss himself) 

This addition came out of nowhere, and I was absolutely not ready to see Mr Bad Doctor Man so early on. But learning that Cioccolata and Secco were already the Most Cruel Punishment TeamTM back then, was the reason why I made that fanart!

So ye the “cursed Silhouette” was Cioccolata in Vento episode 10, when we got an unexpected glimpse of him! :)

[rainbow-beanie]

My favorite screenshots from the retelling of journey to the west part twenty five: while the teamTM goes to save sanzang, wukong finds out about the other color wheel while pig brags about his weapon, much to freire sands frustration

[awkwardnoob]

This is AU dump number... 6! Maybe-

*All AUs are free to use if they inspire you

*Thyma lives because I said so

1) The Promare stay/return, and burning the world/universe was essentially like an all expense paid, month long trip to a fancy ass deluxe spa. So while they still need to burn, the burnish are completely capable of keeping up with that desire and keeping it manageable so long as they don’t suppress themselves like Kray. The Candle business SKYROCKETS as a result, because Burnish now like to light up a nicely scented candle at the end of the day for their Promare.

- Lio starts collecting candles like every other burnish, so Galo gets Lio his own special candle shelf to hold them all.

- Going to the store and sniffing candles together is a legitimate date option when anyone in the couple is a burnish.

- I’ve been sitting on this AU from anywhere from a few days to a week, but it turns out I was not the only one with the idea, because someone made really cute art of Lio liking candles which you can find here: https://umbrellawarrior.tumblr.com/post/189710529209/post-promare-lio-has-a-thing-for-candles

2) Gueira and Meis are firmly on team “Boss DESERVES a sexy firefighter boyfriend” and every time Lio says they’re not together, they rag on him about being in denial.

3) Multiple flavors of Pokemon AU First Flavor: The Promare as Pokémon.

- They’re classified as Ultra Beasts.

- They still do the whole burnish thing, but the fact that they’re not trapped in the core means burnish awakenings are far less violent and dangerous.

- Attaching to their host/trainer like they do means that not just anyone can have one. So trading them is a no go, and you can’t just go out and catch one. It has to bond with you a la burnish or it ain’t doing shit for you (except in very special cases, like Detroit growing fond of and sometimes listening to Galo)

- They can only learn fire type moves.

- 'Burnish’ is the name of their ability now. It negates stuff like flash fire and anything fire types are normally weak to deals neutral damage. HOWEVER, it gives them a 6x weakness to ice, they’re easily frozen, and their fire type moves are not guaranteed to thaw them. (At least, that’s what it’d look like in a game. We all know Lio and Detroit will be kicking major amounts of ass anyway)

- Kray’s Promare is locked away in its ball at all times. It is eventually taken from Kray.

4) Promare don’t exist Pokémon AU

- Galo has a Samurott, and of course their name is Matoi. As an Oshawott, Matoi was meant to be a gift for Kray from a foreign politician person. Excellent IVs, fancy ball (Dive Ball probs), maybe their hidden ability. Very much pulled all the stops fancy gift. But Kray had zero use for Matoi, so when a young Galo came to visit, Kray was like ‘yes, perfect, I can ditch the Pokémon on the annoying child’.  Worst fucking decision Kray ever made when they help Lio and Detroit derail his plans later.

- Matoi exists in AU #3 as well.

- Lio’s Pokemon (Detroit) is an Incineroar. It’s fire type, it’s a cat, it’s a heel (which is about the closest you can get to ‘Freedom Fighter wrongly labeled a terrorist’ in this context), AND it loves kids. It fits.

- Miami is a Tauros now. Tauros can’t learn flame charge in-game, but Miami knows it anyway. Let’s just pretend it’s a thing Tauros can learn.

- My heart wants to make Dallas a Heracross because blue bug but Volcarona is an actual fire bug. What a Dilemma.

- Vinny is a Rattata. He has a little fire hat. He’s not inherently useful like a Pikachu or one of its clones would be but it’s fine.

- Remi has a Blastois (and his girlfriend has a feraligatr). Aina has flying types, but I’m not sure what (either Talonflame or Corviknight). Lucia has something from the Porygon line. Captain Ignis has a centiskorch now thanks to someone making that comparison.

- Mad Burnish is labeled as an Evil TeamTM and blamed for Pokémon thievery but it’s all The Foresight Foundation. Mad Burnish actually steals Pokémon back from them, but getting them back to their trainers is difficult (until the foundation is taken down and Mad Burnish’s name cleared)

- Their base is at Mount Fennel and there are a shit ton of Salandit and other fire types living there. 

- Special!Lio Optional Bonus: The Foundation can’t figure out how Mad Burnish keep finding out all their plans. They also can’t figure out what in the flying fuck Mad Burnish keeps sending Salandit into their buildings for. The Salandit have no technology like security cameras or recorders attached, never take anything, and flee whenever they’re spotted. They can’t figure out what they’re looking for and it’s driving Kray up the wall. Surprise! Lio can talk to fire types. They’re just going home and telling Lio everything they heard/saw while inside.

So, Obi-Wan can potentially mess a temporarily powerless/useless opponent when, y'know, fighting on even ground. Like you said, if they're not careful, Obi-Wan could very well take them out. Then, we've got Cody who has no power at all except for, as you said, "putting up with all the bullshit the rest of the team has." But listen. He's hella good at fighting. He will take you down fast. so. Obi-Wan and Cody tag-teaming, almost? You know? Those two make an insanely competent team.

Like, yeah, they could cause serious damage to a person on their own. But when they're together? Oh buddy. Watch out. They're both underestimated, but that's a mistake on their opponent's part. (2/2) 

and i am going to ignore your last ask because NO BUDDY I APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS VERY MUCH DON’T YOU DARE TALK YOURSELF DOWN and DON’T YOU DARE ACT AS THOUGH THIS ISN’T A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THIS SUPERHERO AU

no, but like,,,actually? i super love this. i think that they would always make the most insanely competent team ever? and i just think watching them kick ass together would just be wonderful and also oh my god listen, i don’t really have that many thoughts on their first meeting, but just in general, i think it would be hilarious if their first meeting went something like: 

“oh wait you don’t have any super powers for me to mute” 

“yeah so? is that gonna be a problem?” 

i’m not saying obi-wan would be so insanely intrigued and also mildly,,,,,drawn in, that’s the word i’m gonna use--but like, i think that there’s something really beautiful and lovely about these two being able to fight together so well because they’re both used to just. fighting on more even ground now. (only like,,,obi-wan yeah has the power to mute another person’s powers, but cody? dude, cody’s been doing this whole “i have to fight with my fists and elbows even without having the advantage of muting someone else’s superpowers so that makes me an even quicker and more persistent fighter just watch me”--like,,,,no this is lovely, and i just think they would make a legendary team.) 

also, just the idea of them tag-teaming is beautiful to me. now, everyone knows that i am obsessed with The TeamTM that is anakin and obi-wan, but like? i think anakin would probably also automatically go with “yeah so cody and obi-wan are gonna go in first and do their thing because,,,,they’re the best fighters we’ve got.” 

like no, don’t get me wrong--don’t get me wrong, i think ahsoka and anakin are both incredibly strong fighters, but i think even in tcw? we see? obi-wan? beat anakin in a fist fight (granted, anakin’s a little unbalanced a la deception arc), and of course, cody “will not hesitate to literally jump grievous” does not pull his punches either. 

so that said, i just think that the rest of our superhero team would just quietly acknowledge that yeah, you want some of your best fighters out there? cody and obi-wan will take care of things just fine.

[teamironmanforever]

pepperony, rhodeytony, and rhodeypepper!!

Pepperony is THEE OTP - misunderstood by some people but arguably the most wholesome of the developed MCU relationships. Pepper is a strong, independent woman who takes names and kicks ass and Tony is, quite literally, her male wife. We LOVE to see it.

I love how deeply they care for each other, how they're each other's homes and how dysfunctional they BOTH are in their own way; she and Tony are truly a teamTM.

RhodeyTony is BEAUTIFUL AND VALID but, and this is a teeensy tiny PERSONAL but; I read them as best friends so I don't really engage with this ship neither in fics or on tunglr. I just... to me Rhodey really is that older brother, ride or die, person whom Tony would call if he needs to bury a body. They LOVE each other, and they trust each other and when no one's got Tony, Rhodey's got Tony. Rhodey is his own person separate and whole without Tony, but he chooses to live life with his best friend and chooses to stand by him even if it may cost him his life. They choose each other as family over and over again and to me that's so beautiful.

RhodeyPepper - didn't know that's a ship!! Have no feelings about it one way or another. Tbh Tony really is the glue that holds them together because I don't think Rhodey and Pepper would have become close or would have ever even been in similar circles if it wasn't Tony bringing them together.

thinking about like a sentai/marvel/magical girl style coroika superhero au 

Sticking all my ideas under le cut

Uh okay so Kamabo tried to create a series of concentrated gas bomb that would allow people to become sanitized through exposure to it but. Uh. They fucked up and tried to destroy these bombs but they uh. made these terrigen mist style things that mutated people and animals and gave them Waaaaaaacky superpowers 

So now villains and sometimes new Kamabo experiments show up at night and Fuck Shit Up but now there’s superhero cephies to stop them epiccccccc

since uh. They’re superheroes with Cool CostumesTM they use their canon names as their secret identities. they have different, “real names” outside of superhero work.

BLUE TEAM:

After they stumbled upon yg team trying to stop a leftover kamabo bomb from exploding, they ended up getting cool powers and have been clumsily bumbling thru hero work ever since

Goggles (Hiro Ichikawa): he’s got. super quicc flashy powers I guess. like, he’s very fast at moving 

Headphones (Kokomi “Katie” Tsai): magic arrows whaaaat

Bobble (Nina): she has Magical Eyesight that lets her see the future

Specs (Dominic Fike Jr.): lightning shoots from his hands. very cool

YG TEAM: 

Some sort of veteran superhero team. Rider made the rest of his team go into support roles while he tried to solve problems solo, though after he failed to defuse a kamabo bomb (which lead to blue team gaining powers), he changed his stance a little

Rider (Irvine): Super strength

Stealth: Invisibility

Bamboo (Bora Gim): Can make like. Cool psychic force field things

Blazer (Anne): Healer

GLOVES (MICAH): 

A newbie hero who’s always trying to hop onto the newest trend. While he has no powers himself, he built himself gloves and shoes (after being inspired by team emperor’s technology) that let him stick to walls.

CYAN TEAM:

A Cool Cyberpunk Vigilante TeamTM who go by the Name Sub Weapon Hell. They’re very experienced in making hero weapons and suits, though they work more as mercenaries for hire.  Mask (Cody): Inhaled Kamabo gas and got Cool Misty Illusion Power things, but now his lungs are fucked up! yay...

Moon (Esther Park-Ramirez): Esports gamer and occult enthusiast who became. A technomancer and can now manipulate technology and electronics 

Designer (Desmond): Heightened reflexes, balance, etc. “like a cat”

Jersey (Sydney): Spiderman but with like. Toxic, goopy webs

[hxseok-honee]

In the poly!yoonseok au (I'm assuming we've persuaded you enough to do it, if not can you please do it 👉👈) can we also have a little more marauder interactions? I love me some headassary with the OG headasses (marauders) and the crack teamTM (BTS)

Please pretty please 🥺

now THAT is a good point!! i was wondering if i should keep it marauders era and now i think i will (bc thats some Good Content) and just make her not a werewolf so the war isnt like part of the plot fidjdi
