It's happening again. Pitching is giving the game away. They've given up 21 runs in the last 4 games. Un fucking believable!! I imagine that you're tired of me writing about this because I am, definitely, tired of writing it. It's absurd. Stroman left the game early, but Boone's choices since then have been horrendous. He let Mayza load the bases by walking players and then put Leiter Jr. in to let them score 2 runs so far. Wow 😪 I hope he lets Kahnle close. That would be the best choice, in my opinion, for a closer. Buy then, unfortunately, it won't matter. Leiter Jr. Just threw a wild pitch that Treviño couldn't catch, and another run scored. 8-2. Three runs on three hits. I give up. It should be our year, but pitching and Aaron Boone are ensuring that it won't be. It's all up to offense now. We can still win. I believe in miracles. Let's go Yankees!!!!!

"can i talk to you, dear?" reyes warm tone made you smile, you sat up from your deck chair and made some place for the woman. she sat next to you and smiled. she was so kind to you, even though you met a few hours ago, she welcomed you into her family with open arms. "are you enjoying yourself, bella?" the nickname made you chuckle as you nodded, you didn’t know why but next to her you felt like a kid. "don’t be shy!" she laughed, pushing you slightly with her shoulder. "sorry. spain is amazing i really like it." reyes nodded. "great, because it seems like you’re going to be around here often now." she winked at you which made the both of you laugh.
"you know, you’re the first girl carlos brings home." that actually surprised you, carlos always had that don juan image in your mind which made you think he’d have way more exes. "believe it or not but carlito is pretty shy, and before you he always declined the blind dates his father would set him up for." the woman smiled and looked at her son who was fishing with his father a little bit far away from them. "he told me about you way before you two started dating though." "really?" she nodded and took your hand. "it was love at first sight for him." you could feel your cheeks getting hotter and red, you looked up at carlos who was now dancing with a big fish in his hands, he turned around and showed it to you and reyes. "look what i got!" he shouted, you clapped for him while his mom was laughing. "when i see him like this, it reminds me of when he was a little kid, running around and messing with his sisters." you didn’t know what to say so you just squeezed her hand. "you like him a lot, i can tell. if my son has been in love with you for so long, that means that you’re a good person too. so i trust you with him."

A Bahamas Bet
Frankie Morales fanfiction x f! reader
Summary: Going on vacation to the Bahamas with your friends could only call for sun, fun and a sweet vacation hookup. Nothing could ruin your enjoyable time, not even your childhood friend’s obnoxious army buddy, Frankie Morales. Right?
Original characters- Wendy (Will), Blaire (Benny), Sofia (Santi)

Part 2 Word Count: 8k
Part 2
Saturday
Head pounding, you pull your tired body up in the bed. Rubbing your hands on your face, you look over to the other side of the bed and notice it empty. You can’t hear anything either, until the hinge of the bathroom door creaks, and Frankie steps out, already dressed for the day in a fitted black t shirt and cargo shorts, his signature hat perched comfortably on his head.
He comes to a stop at the end of the bed and rests his hands on his hips, “Well, morning sleeping beauty.”
You grunt and grab his pillow from beside you before throwing it at him. He easily bats it out of the way and smiles. “Feeling fresh and ready to enjoy the day?” He asks with far more gusto than you would prefer given your state of unwell.
Peering at him through hooded eyes you reply, “Frankie just, leave me here to rot, go get brunch.” You say, as you rest your head back down on the pillow.
Grinning, he comments, “Alright well, I uh- left out some water and Advil for you there. Thought you might need it.” He shuffles on his feet, trying to play off the incredibly thoughtful act as a moment of complete nonchalance.
 Pulling the comforter down off your face, you look at him and then the nightstand, “Oh, thanks Frankie.”
He nods, “No problem I’m gonna, uh- I’m gonna go catch up with everyone.” he says, gesturing to the door, before fumbling around with his wallet and room key and heading out.
Once you’ve finally collected yourself enough to run your drained body through the shower and pull a brush through your hair, you make your way to the dining room with sunglasses adorned on your face. You were still working on getting back to yourself after the brutal hangover you’ve been feeling and did not want to risk running into Juan without covering up the grim bags under your eyes.
Bennys eyes brighten when you approach the full table and he gestures to you, “Oh, there she is our beautiful and not at all dead looking friend.”
They all clap along with him as you wave your hands, conceding to his comment.
“Still look better than you Miller.” You say, sitting down and beginning to eat your pile of breakfast food you’ve collected from the buffet.
Blaire offers you a sympathetic smile, “Oh don’t listen to him, just start thinking about seeing Juan later and I’m sure your energy will come right back.”
“Mm, you’re right. We’re going to the beach today, right? Maybe I’ll get a nap in while I’m there so I’m nice and refreshed.”
Wendy taps her hands on the table and straightens up in her seat, “Right, so once you’re all done, I think we can head there after we’re all changed. Maybe some beach volleyball if you’re all down?”
The group gives their approval for the days’ activities and departs once you are done eating to get ready for the hot Bahamas rays and stunning waters.
Th sun scorches your skin as you lay your towel down on a reclined chair on the beach next to the girls. You pull your bathing suit cover off, revealing your tiny black bikini that shows every bit of skin that you’re looking to show off this weekend. Grabbing your sunscreen, you sit down on the recliner and begin to apply it on yourself. You see Frankie standing just to the side, apparently looking out to the water’s horizon, however, if you could see under the mirrored sunglasses he has on, you’d be able to see that his eye line follows every movement of your hands as you apply the sunscreen to your smooth skin.
Rolling over onto your stomach you gesture to Frankie with the sunscreen, “Hey roomie, could you get my back and shoulders?”
He gulps and tries his best to feign annoyance. “I see what you’re doing.”
“What am I doing Frankie?” You say, mimicking your innocence of yesterday.
He huffs, “Fine, but you asked me, so it doesn’t count as anything.” He says, waving his hands casually before you.
You pop your eyebrows up and down and lay back down on the recliner.
Frankie sits on the side of the recliner and wishes to all that is good in this world that your ass didn’t have to look that good in your bikini. He squeezes the sunscreen into his hand and looks down at your nearly bare back. Taking a deep breath, he begins rubbing the lotion onto your back and shoulders, trying to be mindful of the top of your bikini bottoms.
You let out a quiet moan that could only be heard by him, “Seriously?” He asks in a sarcastic tone.
“Sorry, just feels so nice and relaxing.” You say, giggling to yourself.
He rolls his eyes and finishes rubbing the lotion on you, patting your shoulder when he’s done and standing up from the recliner with a grunt.
A while later you’re woken from your slumber with a smack on your ass, you turn swiftly to see Sofia hovering over you, “Hey bitch wake up it’s volleyball time.”
With a groan of sleepiness, you get up from your comfortable position and make your way to the volleyball court on the beach your friends are situated at.
The game is certainly waking you up and making you feel a little more energetic. Wendy suddenly taps your elbow and points over to the water, “Hey isn’t that, Juan?”
Your eyes snap over to where she is pointing, you pull your sunglasses up slightly to look more intently and sure enough see the same man you were flirting with last night. Today though he is shirtless with short swim trunks. His tan chest was chiseled, and his 6 pack was undeniably sexy. Biting your lip briefly you give Wendy an excited look before turning your attention back to the man by the shore.
Raising your hand to wave, you are just about to call out his name when suddenly a THUD- in the form the volleyball strikes you right in the head. You turn and look with a shocked expression on your face to see Santi standing on the opposite side of the net with his shoulders at his ears and a grimace on his face.
“Sorry!” he yells over to you, waving his hand as an apology.
You nod your head and look back to the shoreline, where Juans stunning physique has now disappeared from. Chewing the inside of your cheek you look around for a moment before returning your attention to the game.
The music in the resort nightclub is booming and the crowd is carrying on with the same energetic dancing as the previous nights.
You and Blaire are situated in the middle of the dance floor after a few too many drinks enjoying the night. Your eyes continue to scan the room for your mysterious love interest, though admittedly, dropping back to Frankie in the booth. His hair is especially curly this evening, poking out of his hat after spending the afternoon in the water. His cheeks are rosy from being in the sun today and his black t shirt was open on the top 3 buttons, exposing the small patch of chest hairs. You are dressed in a tight red dress that hugs each and every curve with black heels that have straps around your ankles, and a special pair of black lace panties for your potential suitor that night. If he ever shows up that is.
A hand finds its way to your waist, and you turn swiftly in it, placing your hands firmly on Juan’s chest as he looks down at you with a devious grin.
“Hey beautiful, sorry I took so long to get here. My buddy is pretty much blacked out in his room right now, so I had to make sure he was alright.” he says, inching closer to you and wrapping his arm around you.
Smiling back at him you fumble with the buttons on his shirt casually and look up to meet his gaze, “It’s okay, I’m just glad to see you here now.”
You look back over your shoulder to discover that Benny had seen Juan’s attendance and joined his girlfriend on the dance floor. Subjecting everyone to his terrible white boy dance moves.
You and Juan fall into a comfortable routine of grinding against each other and sneaking back to the bar for shots, as well as stealing heated kisses, all of which had your head spinning. He was a nice guy, for real he was, but you knew it was just a vacation fling. He didn’t give you those butterflies that you knew you were supposed to have.
Finally, feeling the effects of all the liquid you drank, you offer your apologies as you exit to seek the washroom. He leans in and tells you that he’ll be at the bar getting some more drinks.
Feeling so much lighter and not having to squeeze your thighs together any more due to the incessant need to pee, you return to the dance floor and peer over to the bar. However, Juan is nowhere to be seen. You look around and sneak a peak at the booth your friends are at, but still nothing. In a huff you walk over to the bar, just for your elbow to be tapped by Juan over to your side. Your smile spreads across your face until you notice his worried expression.
He leans in with his hands planted firmly in his pockets, “Hey, I uh- I’m gonna head back to my room.”
You perk up and run your hands on his chest, “Okay, that sounds good to me.”
Juan slightly recoils at your touch and pulls a half smile, “Oh, no just by myself. It was nice meeting you, but uh- I don’t think it’s gonna work out. Have a nice night though.”
Before you can pick your jaw up off the floor he has turned and is heading to the doors. Your head spins from the alcohol and the complete 180 degree change your date has just had. Turning on your heels you go over to the dance floor where the girls are all dancing to the Britney Spears throwback booming through the speakers.
“Hey, what happened to Juan?” Blaire asks.
You shrug, “I don’t know. I thought things were going great and then all of a sudden, he bailed on me. I don’t know what even happened.” Crossing your arms you think back to the conversations you had and look for any red flags you may have put forth.
Wendy bites her lip and looks up in thought, “I saw him talking to Frankie at the bar after you left to go to the washroom, maybe he would know?”
Your eyes narrow in suspicion, and you excuse yourself to go to the bar. As you squeeze through the crowd you see Frankie seated on a stool with his broad shoulder facing you, looking up at one of the TVs. You tap his shoulder, and he spins slowly in the stool to face you, his expression dropping slightly.
“Hey um- this is weird to ask but did Juan say anything to you when you were talking to him. Like about me? He just left in a hurry, and I don’t really know what I did wrong I guess.” You say with your arms crossed and shoulders hunched forward, suddenly feeling very self-conscious.
Frankie swallows deeply and hums to himself, “Uh, nope he didn’t say anything about you.” Taking a drink from his beer, his eyes are somewhat sympathetic.
Biting your bottom lip you nod, “Oh okay, well worth a shot I guess.” You motion to turn but before you can Frankie interjects.
“It might’ve had something to do with what I said to him though.”
Your head whips back and eyes bulge, heat growing between your ears. “And what did you say to him?”
He smirks to himself and replies, “I told him that we were a couple, were looking for a third and that I was really excited to get to know him.” He chuckles and winks at you before bringing his beer back to his lips.
Head spinning, eyes burning you stutter out, “What, - what the fuck Frankie why would you say that?”
“Probably because his face was funny as hell when I told him, plus that guy was a total tool, you should be thanking me.” He responds with a smile.
Your emotions get the better of you and you shove him directly in the chest with both hands, “Dammit Frankie! He was not a tool he was a good guy. I can’t fucking believe you!” You turn on your heels and storm towards the exit.
Frankies eyes bug out and he quickly chugs his beer before slamming it down on the bar top to rush after you.
Your friends see the kerfuffle from their comfortable seats in the booth. All quietly wondering what was to come from this fight. Santi and Sofia give each other knowing looks before they all return to their evening.
All you could hear during your stampede to your room was the trailing footsteps of Frankie’s shoes and his meek calls for you to stop.
Finally getting to your room you slide the card in and heave the door open before whipping it hard to close. Frankie’s hand finds its way between the door and the latch to squeeze in and follow your step once more.
“Hey, come on are you seriously that mad?” he asks, with his arms spread and exasperation on his face.
You whip around to face him, placing your hands on your hips. “Yes, Frankie I am fucking mad. You had no right to do that. I don’t even understand why you would give a shit if I hooked up with him tonight.”
His face drops with his hands, “I don’t know, I just, fuck I don’t know Birdie.”
“Oh no, don’t even start with that Birdie shit. You have never once in your entire time knowing me used my real nickname so don’t start now.” You turn your attention to your suitcase and begin throwing items into it.
“What are you doing?” He asks, watching your fumbled state.
Not even looking over your shoulder you reply, “Getting the fuck out of this room. Have fun cuddling Santi tonight.”
Frankie steps inward and crowds you, “Come on don’t do that. Just talk to me, why are you leaving.”
You turn quickly in your spot, standing now just inches from him. Raising your head to speak directly into his face. “You wanna know why? Fine, you are the biggest narcissist I have ever met.” You begin, counting out on your fingers your reasons. “You ruined my date, and my vacation. And you’re too busy wallowing in your own self-pity to realize how your actions affect other people. Are those enough reasons to leave?”
He sucks his teeth and looks down at you, “Are there any reasons to stay?” he asks calmly.
“Hm, not that I can think of. Can you think of one?” You ask sarcastically, glaring at his deep brown eyes.
In an instant his mouth crashes into yours. Your eyes bulge as you take in the moment, before quickly falling victim and wrapping your arms around his neck. He grabs your hips and pulls them in closer to press against him. It’s all tongue and teeth as you devour each other next to the mini fridge of your hotel room. He slides his hand into your hair to pull your head back, granting him access to nip and suck at your neck as you moan and run your hands through the hair at the nap of his neck.
He turns you on your feet and backs you up until your knees hit the edge of the bed, before pushing you down flat on it. He leans down and grabs your heel to pull it up to his chest and begins pulling the straps off them, peppering kisses along your ankle. Moving to the other. His drunken hands fumble with the clasp, “Fuck sakes you had to choose the most complicated shoes.” He mumbles under his breath.
You roll your eyes, “Shut the fuck up and get down here.”
He eyes you with raised brows and pulls the shoe off your foot before taking his hat in his hand and pulling his shirt up and over his head, placing his trusted hat firmly back on his luscious curls. You bite your lip as you watch him unhook his belt and pull his shorts down, kicking off his shoes in the process.
You widen your legs for him, and he trails his hands up your thighs, sneaking them slightly under the hem of your dress. You rise up on the bed and pull the straps off your shoulders to begin shimmying the dress down your body. He rubs your legs as his eyes widen, watching your plump chest fall free from the fabric of the dress as you continue to scoot it further down your body. His hands raise to grab the material from you, and you lift your hips to allow him to pull it the rest of the way down your body, leaving you bare save for your lacey panties.
He runs a finger lightly over the fabric on your folds, “These were for him then?” he asks quietly.
You nod slowly, he grins and comments. “I guess his loss is my gain then.”
You inch up on the bed as he follows you closely, climbing over your body and launching down to capture your mouth with his teeth. Your hands explore every inch you can reach as you urge him forward. Hips bucking up to seek friction against his hardening length.
He breaks off and looks down between the two of you, “Needy huh?”
Shaking your head with frustration you pull at his curly locks, “Can you just fuck me already?”
His smirks and leans back on his haunches to grab your panties and pull them down your legs, before rolling onto his side and side his boxers down.
When he returns to his position you both drop your gazes. He licks his lips, looking down at your wet pussy, just dripping for him and your eyes pop at the sight of his cock. Long and girthy, a sensational feeling creeps up your spin as you admire his length.
He looks at you, “Did you happen to bring any-,”
“Oh, fuck, yeah just in my nightstand.” You say, pointing over to the table situated beside the bed.
He nods and reaches over to the nightstand to pull out and roll the condom firmly onto himself.
Widening your legs for him he leans back down to bring you into another kiss, reaching down between the two of you to guide his cock into your entrance. The first few pushes burn with the stretch, but it feels too good to slow down. He continues his pace until he bottoms out in you, both of you letting out an agonizing moan as you take in each other.
“You okay?” he asks.
Nodding you reply, “Yeah, yeah fuck, Frankie just move I need to feel you.” Your tone almost begging.
Frankie smiles and begins moving his hips back and forth against you, your eyes roll back at the feeling, and he leans down to capture your nipple in his mouth. Biting it tightly as he slams into you at a pace you haven’t experienced before.
He breaks away momentarily to mutter under his breath, “Can’t believe we’re doin’ this.”
Moans escaping your mouths as the top of his cock presses against your clit with each devastating roll of his hips. You bring him back up to your mouth to pull at his lips with your teeth as he continues to move into you. Deep breaths and the slapping of skin is all that can be heard as the two of you take in each other’s bodies. He lays flat on you, and you wrap your arms around his neck to squeeze as your walls clench around him, sending the most incredible waves up your body and causing your chest to arch into his. He hums at the feeling and then lets out an animalistic grunt as he presses forward one last time, filling the condom inside you.
He stills and rests his head against yours, both of you breathing deeply. “Fuck, what was, fuck was that?”
You giggle under your breath, “I don’t even know.”
Frankie drags his tired body off you and heads to the bathroom. You slide under the sheets and close your eyes, head still spinning from the alcohol and the intense orgasm you just had.
He comes back and lays down next to you resting his arm behind his head and staring up at the ceiling. “Do you uh- do you wanna talk about that or-,”
“No, no Frankie I just, mmm I need to sleep. I’m still too drunk.” You say rolling over on your side and snuggling next to him.
He grins to himself, looking down at your sleepy state, “Okay baby, get some sleep.”
Sunday
Eyes creeping open, you once again feel the weighted body of Frankie against your back and his arm slung over your side. Your annoyance ringing in your ears before the events of last night and your current state of undress crash into you like a freight train. You don’t move, don’t breathe too heavily, as if not engaging in the truth or awakening the world with your presence would somehow make what happened last night not real. Did you want it to be real? No, how could you possibly, he’s an ass, always has been. Last night was just a drunken mistake. Was it? It did feel amazing, and you could’ve stopped it any time, but you didn’t. Have you secretly been thinking about the possibilities since the beginning of this forsaken bet? All these questions swirling around your aching head makes your eyes squeeze shut again, desperately trying to drown out the light and the consequences of your actions.
As if feeling the tension literally emitting from your body, Frankie begins to roll over and move his arm off of you before waking himself. You hold still in the position you are in, pulling your covers close to your chin and hoping he might not see you.
He rubs his eyes and peers over at you, “Mornin’” he says with a groggy voice.
Slowly rolling over onto your other side with a shy smile you look at him with your head rested firmly on the pillow, “Hey.” You whisper.
Frankie rolls onto his side and places a warm hand on your arm that is holding the comforter tight to your neck. “You okay?”
Pulling your mouth into a thin line you nod, “Yeah, just uh, - don’t really know where to go from here. Or what it meant.”
“Yeah, that’s uh, I think a bigger conversation after some coffee.” He smiles, rubbing tiny circles in your arm with his thumb.
You nod and rise out of bed, both of you getting ready silently but politely. Holding the door to the bathroom open for each other, him handing you your sunscreen from the table when you were fumbling in your bag looking for it, you making the bed including his side.
The two of you walk beside each other down to the buffet for brunch, no words, just a comfortable silence. It doesn’t feel like even small talk would be safe until you have a chance to properly talk.
After collecting your much-needed coffee and food, you both sit down at the table with your friends and they all examine your faces, wondering where you stood after last night’s fight.
Wendy rubs your arm sympathetically, “Hey, how you doing? What happened last night?”
Frankie clears his throat to defend you before you interject, “I’m fine, last night was a total misunderstanding. Sorry if I worried you guys.” You say, offering a half-hearted smile.
Benny crosses his arms and leans back, “But like, what made you wanna go round for round with Fish here?”
Biting your bottom lip and looking at Frankie’s deep brown eyes, filled with concern you straighten up and reply, “I thought Frankie ruined my date when he talked to Juan, but I was wrong, he explained himself when we got back to the room and he was right, that guy wasn’t right for me. I didn’t need him, don’t need him.”
Frankie’s face pulls into a short smile, trying to stifle his apparent joy at your story.
Blaire smiles, “Well, I hope you two are still okay if we break off for our couples day today.”
Nodding you reply, “Oh of course, you guys go and enjoy your days. I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
Santi grins to himself and slaps his hands on his thighs as he rises up, “Alright well, if you’ll excuse us, I have a date with my lady and a waterfall.” He says, taking Sofia’s hand and helping her up before waving to the group and departing.
The other two couples stand as well and say their goodbyes, leaving you and Frankie staring down at your plates of food and steaming coffees.
You eat in silence, a million questions racing around your mind with each bite of your toast. Upon finishing your plate, you lean back in your chair to check your phone. Looking at your calendar you’re reminded of something you unfortunately forgot. “Hey, Frankie um, - I’m really sorry but I booked a massage for this morning since I knew they would all be busy. I can always cancel it if-,”
He waves his hands causally towards you, “No, no please go. We can catch up later.” he says, breathing deeply out of his nose.
You smile and nod before getting up and heading over to the spa. During your walk your feet feel like they’re floating and you’re still slightly dizzy from the events of the weekend.  Rounding the corner to the spa you look to your right and catch a sight of Juan standing near the checkout desk. He spots you and quickly turns on his feet to face another direction.
Pulling your lips tight to your teeth you huff out of your nose. Yep, that seems about right, you think to yourself. A relaxing massage is exactly what you need to hopefully shut your mind off for a while.
A while later you leave the spa with your body and mind more relaxed. Your hangover has disappeared, and your energy returned, ready to take on whatever the rest of the day called for. While still nervous, you didn’t know what Frankie would think about what happened last night. He has never once shown interest in you during these few years. Was it purely physical or was there more. If there was more, was there more on your side? How would your lives fit together you thought. He lived in the same city as you, had the same friend group as you, partook in the same activities on the weekend as you. Really, your life has been blended for years now. He has a good job and so do you, it seems like it could come together seamlessly. However, there’s still the nagging feeling that is crawling up your neck each time you consider a relationship with him. That feeling comes of course from the relentless taunting and bullying you’ve received from him. You’re tough in the skin and it never bothered you but is that still the type of person you would want to build a life with, having had such a bad foundation to form on.
As your mind drifts in and out of uncertainty, your eyes are unfocused as you turn a corner and come crashing into none other than Frankie Morales.
“Oh, shit sorry.” You exclaim, trying to steady your footing.
He grins down at you and grabs his hat to scratch his head, “Hey, that’s okay I um should’ve been watching where I was going. A little lost in thought I guess.”
You nod and clasp your hands firmly together in front of you, “Hm, yeah, me too I guess.”
Taking a deep breath, he asks casually, “How was your massage?”
“Good, good thanks for asking. Definitely relaxing.”
“That’s good.” He says, both of you drowning in the undeniable awkwardness of the moment.
Frankie clears his throat before asking, “Do you wanna, go for a walk? I saw a trail over at the end of the beach that looks nice.”
Accepting the time has finally come for your talk, you agree and begin the walk towards the beach.
Sun beating down and waves crashing in, the beach is filled with fun seekers and tanners. They all look to be having such an easy-going time compared to yourself whose stomach has not stopped twisting since your sandals hit the warm beach.
You and Frankie remain in your quiet state until he finally finds the trail head and starts down it. He looks beside himself at your flushed chest and chewed lip that you’ve been worrying since you left the spa. “I don’t, really know how to start this I guess.” He says, placing his hands in the pockets of his plaid shorts.
Grinning slightly, you look up at him, “Yeah me neither.”
“I guess, I should first just apologize for what happened with Juan last night. I really am sorry.” he says, looking around at the foliage of the trail.
“Oh right, uh thank you. I appreciate that.” You say before thinking further, “I guess my question from last night was never answered so -,” you trail off, hoping he understands where you’re coming from.
He nods, “Yeah, that I don’t entirely have an answer for I guess.” He scratches the thin patchy beard spread across his chin. “I guess I was just threatened by him and didn’t like the idea of you going home with him, or anyone else really.”
His admission came as a shock, still unclear as to why he had such feelings. “Why did that bother you? I mean, we go to bars together, we’ve both seen our fair shares of one-night stands. It didn’t seem to bother you before.”
“Yeah, I know. Um, just felt different I guess.” he says quietly.
“Different how?” You ask, crossing your arms and growing slightly frustrated.
Taking a deep breath, he pinches the ridge of his nose and thinks. “Sorry, I haven’t done this in a while.” He begins.
“Done what?”
He smiles softly, “Talked about, - talked about my feelings. For someone.”
You take a deep breath in your nose and twirl your thumbs together, still slowly making your way down the trail. “Is that what we’re doing here? Talking about our feelings for each other?”
Before he can reply he looks forward at the scenery the trail has led to. A cascading waterfall atop a simple flowing stream and wildflowers all about. A single two-person bench sits quaintly near the edge of the water.
You laugh to yourself looking around, “Huh, figures. The waterfall for lovers.”
He grins and then offers his hand to you; you look him in the eyes before taking it and allowing him to lead you to the bench.
Frankie sits and rests his elbows on his thighs, taking deep breaths and looking at the water toppling down the cliff side. He turns his head to look at you, “Ask me again.” he says.
You look at him confused, “Ask what again?”
He clears his throat, “Ask me again why I always treated you the way I did. Like you were annoying.”
Biting your lip, your voice comes out as quiet as a church mouse, “Why?”
Frankie’s breath comes out like it hurts, “Because, I thought if I pushed you away like that then it would be easier. I liked you as soon as I met you, but I just, I was a mess when I was discharged, and I didn’t want to burden you with all that. I wasn’t ready for whatever this could be. So, I thought if I didn’t get close to you then I wouldn’t have to worry about you developing feelings for me. Making you hate me seemed better than disappointing you.”
It was heart wrenching hearing Frankie speak so highly of you and so poorly of himself. Floods of emotions came, and you had to know more about what you were considering at this moment. “What about now? Are you ready now?”
“Now?” he began, “Now, I have a steady job and a therapist that helps me take care of my mind. I have friends who are all happy and have moved on from everything we went through in the service. Now, I’ve spent 72 hours with you and during that short time you managed to break through all the walls I had built and the cage I put myself in.”
You want to respond, want to apologize that you may have pushed him too far, especially with the bet, and that you could give him more space, but he continued before you could pull the strained voice from your throat.
“I think I am ready now. I think I’ve worked hard these last few years to become a man you deserve. I think you deserve the world, I really do, and while I can’t give you that, I’m hoping I may be enough.” His deep brown eyes well up with emotion and he tries not to look directly at you.
Your chest tightens and your breath stops. This isn’t the Frankie you knew, no, this is new. This Frankie is different. This Frankie doesn’t have sharp edges or a quick wit. This Frankie, this Frankie is one you could fall in love with.
“Frankie, I have been extremely surprised by you this weekend. I have yelled at you, laughed with you, and experienced things I didn’t think were possible. I’m gonna need some time to catch up, because up until a few days ago, I absolutely hated your guts.” You and he both laugh for a moment, and he takes your hands in his. “But, if you’ll allow me the time, I’d like to try to catch up to where you are, because I really like you and I want to see where this could go.”
His eyes lighten and his smile beams, “Shit really?”
Nodding you reply, “Yeah, I guess Fish and Birdie do kind of go together anyway.” You beam and he matches your expression.
Frankie wraps his arms around to bring you into a tight embrace and you stay there still, him holding you and you listening to his rapid heartbeat.
“You know, if I weren’t such a nice person, I might count you confessing your love for me as making a move.” You say giggling to yourself.
He lets out a chuckle, “I think I already lost the bet last night when I kissed you.”
“It’s okay, I won’t count that either. We can split the room, and you can just owe me like 50 dinner dates.” You say pulling yourself out of his arms to lean in and plant a loving kiss to his lips.
“Deal. Now that I’m sure the waterfall worked its magic, we should head back.” He says, taking your hand again and helping you off the bench.
Your mouth gaps, “Did you know this was down here?”
His face grows embarrassed, “Uhhh, yeah, I did. I figured I needed all the help I could get.”
You laugh together and take his hand in yours, traveling back down the path.
“You didn’t completely hate my guts, right?” he asks inquisitively.
Rolling your eyes you reply, “Oh big time. Couldn’t fucking stand you.”
Frankie’s mouth drops in fake offence. You continue, “But, I did think you were cute and may have daydreamed about you a little.”
He smiles and pulls you in to wrap his arm around your waist, “I’ll take it.”
Returning to your room you look at the bed, the scene of the crime. You still haven’t spoken about that part of the situation yet and just thinking about it makes your core ache for more.
Frankie spots your eyeline and follows it to the bed, both of you standing near the edge facing each other and holding hands. He looks back at you, “I didn’t know when would be a good time to talk about, that whole thing. It was a bit impulsive on my side and I’m sorry if it was too soon.”
You shake your head, “No, no it’s okay. It was definitely unexpected, but I don’t regret it at all.”
Nodding he bites his lip, “So uh, what the fuck was that all about then?” he asks, his tone changing to a humorous laugh.
You match his laugh, “Fuck I literally don’t even know. Was it as good for you as it was for me?”
“Pfft, fuck, it was incredible. I can’t wait to see how it feels when I’m not hammered and can actually take my time.” He says, smiling at you, the lines on his face shining brightly with his expression.
You both look over at the bed again, chewing the inside of your cheek, before looking back at each other.
Moving as one, you close together and bring your hands to his face and his on your waist. Encapsulating each other in a heated kiss. His tongue pushes against your lips, which you happily encourage with your own tongue. You quickly become impatient and begin pulling at each other’s clothing. Unbuttoning his shirt as fast as your fingers can manage while he pulls at your shorts and pushes them down your legs. Once you’ve sufficiently rid yourselves of your clothes, save for Frankies hat, he turns you and sits you down on the edge of the bed.
“I’m gonna take care you baby alright?” he says, kneeling down and kissing the inside of your thighs as you lower your body flat on the bed and spread your legs for him. He swiftly turns his hat backwards and hums as he swipes a finger through your slick folds, “I didn’t get a good look at you last night, you have the most perfect pussy I have ever seen.”
“Oh stop, you’re just saying that.” You say with a giggle.
“Does this make you feel like I’m lying?” he asks, before diving in like a man starved of food for weeks.
Your back arches immediately as he expertly takes you apart with his tongue. Bouncing around between your entrance and clit. Your moans permeate the room with each swipe. Before you can even realize what’s happening, the string in your core is snapping and your orgasm is rushing through you. Frankie can feel your pussy plump out for him, and he quickly slides two fingers into your entrance for you to clamp down on. The sudden intrusion descends you into another wave of your orgasm. Hands grasping desperately at the bed spread, breath deep, you finally come down from you transcendent high.
He licks one last agonizing stripe up our folds to your sensitive mound and begins to crawl up the bed to you. “Taste so sweet baby.” He says before latching his mouth to yours.
You take his face in your hands and taste your pleasure on his mouth and mustache. You scoot out from under him and urge him to lay down flat on the bed. “I wanna ride you baby.” You say breathlessly.
He bites his lip and moves on the bed, before he can lie down you reach down to his head and pluck his hat off, planting it on your own backwards. He growls at the sight and steals a passionate kiss before accepting his position as pillow princess.
You reach over to the nightstand and hand him a condom. He rolls it on, and you sit up on your knees over top of his hardening length. Taking him in your hand you swipe him through your dripping folds, before slowly lowering yourself down on him. Each inch sending pleasure through every nerve of your body.
“Fuck, baby, taking my cock so well look at you.” He says, grabbing your hips tightly, no doubt to leave bruises for him to kiss tomorrow.
Bottoming out you let out a primal moan and place your hands firmly on his chest. “Oh, you feel so good.”
“Yeah? Show me how good I feel inside you.” He says through gritted teeth, slowly rocking you on his thick cock.
You raise up and down on him and every time it feels better than the last. Over and over again until you’re both panting from pleasure and overwhelmed. He reaches up and presses his thumb to your clit, so you roll your shoulders back and place your hands behind you on the bed to expose more of yourself to him. Your breasts bouncing with every movement and your head rolling back as your break approaches.
He watches you intently, as if you were a masterpiece in a museum, “Wanna see you come on my cock baby. You look so good when you finish.”
A few more sharp circles of your clit with his thumb and you’re stuttering, “Fuck, Frankie I’m gonna-,” is all you can manage before you begin squeezing him within an inch of his life. He follows immediately after, rutting up into you while he moans from his own bliss.
After a minute of deep breathing and eyes trying to roll back to normal you finally climb off of him and toss his hat off your head. He kisses your cheek before heading to the bathroom to clean up.
He rolls back into the bed with you and pulls you close to rest on his chest, “Mmm, that was great.” He says kissing your head.
“I’m so tired after all that, wanna take a nap?”
“Sounds good to me.” He says.
Hours later you’re awoken by your phone ringing, just missing the call you roll over and peer at the screen. “Fuck.” You exclaim.
Frankie jolts awake and looks at you, your eyebrows furrowed reading your messages. “What’s wrong?”
“That was Sofia trying to call me, looks like she texted me too. They headed down to dinner a while ago.”
He chews his lip and eyes your still naked body, “Would I be a total dick if I said I just wanted to stay here for the rest of the night?”
Turning in the bed with a mischievous look you ask, “No, but whatever would we do with all that time?” with a wink.
“Oh, I can think of something.” He says, leaning over onto you and capturing you in a kiss.
You oblige but quickly push him off, “Can we get room service though, I’m starving.”
Nodding, he replies, “Sure, then I’ll only owe you 49 more dinners.”
Room service took about 45 minutes, which gave you sufficient enough time to fool around again. Now sitting together on the bed, wrapped in the hotel’s fluffy white robes you stuff your faces with pizza and chicken wings while chatting.
“Good thing you brought that box of condoms, huh? Would’ve had me sprinting to the hotel store at 1am last night in nothing but my boxers if you didn’t.” Frankie laughed.
You grin as you swallow another bite of pizza, “Hey I was planning on hooking up this weekend, didn’t know it was gonna be you but, oh well.”
“What size box did you get anyway?” he asks, reaching into the nightstand and pulling out the box. “34!” he exclaims, looking at you with wild eyes. “How much sex were you planning on having this weekend?” he asks, laughing.
You laugh and snatch the box out of his hand, “Hey, I wasn’t gonna use all of them, obviously.”
“I don’t know, sounds like you had some pretty big plans for this weekend.”
Biting your lip, you look him up and down, “No, but something big did come up.” You say with a wink.
He looks at you slightly confused but also amused.
You giggle, “Sorry, dick joke.”
“Oh!” He laughs, “Yeah, one of my more redeeming qualities that’s for sure.”
“I’d say you’re pretty much redeemed at this point.”
Smiling, he looks at you with those damn deep brown eyes that make your heart twist every time now, “I am sorry again about how things have been between us. I really regret hurting you like that.”
“Don’t worry about it, I think a part of me could tell there was more to it. Will and Benny always sang your praises and I trust them so, I figured you couldn’t be as much of a bad guy that you led on.” You reply, taking his hand in yours. “It’s actually kind of exciting now, I get to get to know you all over again. The real you, that is.”
Looking bashful he tucks his head down slightly, “Well, I’ve gotten to know you quite a bit, and I really like you.”
You lean in for a kiss, “Thanks Fish, I really like you too. Does this mean you’re gonna start calling me by my nickname now?”
He goes into a fake deep thought, “Hmmm, I don’t know.” You offer a pout and plump your lower lip out. “Alright, you win, Birdie.” He says with a wink.
Monday
“You ready?” Frankie asks, putting away the last of his things in his suitcase.
Looking around the hotel room you grew a sense of sadness, so much has happened this weekend in this room, and you are sad to see it go. You are worried, worried about how the real world would react to your relationship with Frankie. Praying it wouldn’t reject you like a bad piercing and instead you would be able to blend your lives together and continue how it’s been these last crazy 24 hours.
“Hey,” he says softly, rubbing a hand on your shoulder. “It’s gonna be alright. We’re gonna go home, and get back into our routines, and I’m gonna take you out on a date. Have a chance to treat you right.”
His touch warms you and his words make you swoon. He was so comforting, and so reassuring. The way his eyes twinkle when they look at you could only be described as magic.
Nodding along to his soothing words, you throw your backpack over your shoulders and grab your suitcase, sliding out the door behind him. Once in the hallway, Frankie offers you a caring smile and his hand, which you accept gladly.
Walking into the lobby hand in hand with Frankie Morales was not how you expected this vacation to end, and by the looks on your friends faces it’s not what they were expecting either.
“Well, what do we have here?” Will hums.
Benny whistles and the girls give their ouus and ahhhs.
“Alright calm down you animals.” Frankie says, to settle the crowd of looky loos.
Blaire smiles, “So this is why you two weren’t at dinner and drinks last night, huh?”
“Thought you were dead.” Sofia comments with a laugh.
“Yeah, sorry about that.” You say, steadying your suitcase on the white granite floor. Frankie squeezes your hand reassuringly.
Santi crosses his arms and grins brightly, “Well, I guess my plan worked after all.” he says, winking at Sofia who laughs and swats his arm playfully.
You look at him confused, “What plan?”
He smirks, “Oh, I booked you guys in the same room on purpose.”
Yours and Frankie’s mouths drop as the rest of the group share your shock. Various whats and Popes echoing out from you all.
Santi taps his hands up and down in the air, “Alright, alright calm down. I had to do something after the way I’ve been watching my best friend pine over this woman for the last few years. He wouldn’t make a move, so I just thought if I put them in the same room together for the weekend they’d be forced to-,”
“Fuck.” Benny interjected, giggling.
Sofia shakes her head, “Noo, talk. But I mean, we’re assuming you also….” She begins, giving you an inquisitive look.
You cross your arms and suck your teeth at the thought of your friends tricking you and Frankie, but ultimately nod your head slightly which earns a cheer from the group and causes Frankie to press his hand to his face in embarrassment.
Frankie pulls his hand off his face and points jokingly at Santi, “I’m gonna kick your ass, man. You could’ve told me.”
Santi shrugs, “It had to happen organically, love can’t be forced.” he says, wrapping his arm around Sofias’ waist.
Will leans into the group, “Hey Pope, did you hit Birdie with the volleyball on purpose on Saturday?”
You perk up immediately, snapping your fingers as you point at him. “Hey, yeah that was when I was trying to get Juan’s attention!”
Laughing, he replies, “Hey I was looking out for my boy. Didn’t want that guy messing anything up. I thought about trying to get rid of him that night too, but it seems Fish beat me to it.”
“Oh, you have no idea, that is a funny story for the shuttle ride.” You say, tapping Frankie’s elbow as he smiles at you.
Wendy claps her hands together, “Alright, now that we’ve got that all sorted, let’s head back to reality.”
Quiet groans erupt from the group as they collect their bags and head to the lobby doors. Frankie swiftly grabs your wrist before you can get too far and swings you back into his arms. Looking down at you he smiles, and you smile right back, before he leans down and kisses you tenderly, squeezing you tightly in his strong arms.
And there they were, those butterflies floating around in your stomach, just like you always knew you were supposed to feel when you were with the right guy, at the right time.

The Contestants Are Here!
Thank you for your patience, I'm now ready to announce our contestants for the Obscure Character Showdown! There are 300 characters, split up into 6 groups of 50.
Here's how the schedule will work: Day 1 is Group A Round 1 Part 1, Day 2 is Group A Round 1 Part 2, Day 3 is Group B Round 1 Part 1, Day 4 is Group B Round 1 Part 2, Day 5 is Group C Round 1 Part 1, and so on and so forth until we reach Group F Round 1 Part 2, and then the next day we'll fold back over for Group A Round 2. I'm splitting up the rounds because tumblr can interpret posting many polls at once as spamming, and each group contains 25 polls, so. 13 one day, 12 the next.
I expect to start polls by Wednesday, May 31, but I may be a little later than that. I'll keep you updated.
The polls will be tagged with 'obscurecharactershowdown,' 'obscure poll,' and their group letter and round number.
Under the cut is the groups and matchups. Thank you all for your submissions, and I'm sorry if your submission didn't get in! If it was a submission for your OC, a mythological figure, a Real Life Thing, an album character, a commercial character, etc, then you may not be out of the running yet. Be patient, I have something else I'm working out!
Please don't come into my inbox, replies, dms, etc, and tell me that a character I chose isn't actually obscure at all. No one's media experience is universal, and from my own experiences, I picked to the best of my ability.

FINAL ROUND - Sea, Poetry, Blade
With the end of the second BBAU tourney, we have our winner!
Love her or hate her, Baldina 📓 reigns supreme!!
Tumblr media
Tourney bracket chart.
Full rankings. All characters are sorted based on the % they earned during their last round in the tourney. If more than one share the same number, they then share the placements. Mikkie 🦿 is at the bottom because he didn't have any pre-existing matchups before round 2, so it was his round 1.
Baldina 📓 (round final: 48.6%)
Denied 🦈 (round final: 40.5%)
Frances 🗡️ (round final: 10.8%)
Carl 🌮 (round 2: 38.5%)
Juan 👓 (round 2: 36.8%)
Michael 🐍 & Taffy 🎤 (round 1: 48.1%)
Matchabun 🐇 (round 1: 46.4%)
Alien King 👾 (round 1: 14.3%)
Wildy 🆗 (round 1: 10.3%)
Mikkie 🦿 (round 2: 10%, no pre-existing matchups)
Thank you to everyone who participated, voted, shared, rooted for certain characters, and so on!
Thoughts are in the Read More!
Woman win. Women keep winning. Failgirl became Girlboss. She is the hashtag #Queen. Have you memorized your poetry lately? YOU BETTER!!!
All jokes aside, this was great. I honestly don't mind Denied losing in the end. He had a good run! Second place is easily better than last.
I'm considering doing yet another tourney like this one, but with everyone again, and then some (NOT ANYTIME SOON DON'T GET EXCITED). ScoreCount maxes out at 32, so I could bite the bullet and do that. Would mean finding a Baldi replacement (🥁), as well as nine more entrants. Oh God, that's so many...
Maybe like. Nicholas. Spoopier. Eddy. Axel. (shuffles index cards) Uhhhh Maldo? Time? Max? Karen? Or maybe more of the newer guys. Like uhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH oh God who is there, fuck, I'm not well-versed in those fangames. Leave suggestions if you want!!!
And by fangames, I do mean completed and shared mods. WIPs that never get released won't qualify, sorry.

Well, that was fun! At least it was for me, I hope you guys enjoyed it too, biggest thanks to everyone who participated ♥
13 works were added to the collection over the month, so here is a recap!
Sweet Amnesia by Myulalie for @rirren [E, 4 374 words]
Ian disappears, and Alex gets into his head to hire “Ian’s old army buddy” to rescue his uncle. Yassen Gregorovich comes with a price.
Adjournment by iceblyecyanide for @strangesoulmates [T, 5 399 words]
“Did no one ever tell you that it’s impolite to enter someone’s room without invitation, Alex Rider?” Chess prodigy Alex Rider is attending the 1981 Moscow Invitational when a moment of curiosity leads him into trouble, and lands him an impromptu rematch with the World Champion, Soviet Grandmaster Yassen Gregorovich.
The Boy in the Ice by Myulalie for @lastlymatt [T, 3 932 words]
Project IceX takes Yassen to a lab in Siberia in order to relive a miraculously preserved humanoid, seemingly older than humanity itself.
I don't want to lose you again by turtle_snail for @shehungthemoon [T, 7 461 words]
Alex gets a phone call from the hospital saying that his uncle was in a bad accident. Except, Ian Rider died four years ago…
A Surprising Holiday by TheOtherBlue for @myulalie [E, 3 487 words]
Alex runs into Yassen while on holiday in Greece and sees a chance to flip the script of their encounters. Yassen isn't entirely convinced, but is willing to play along.
The Monster in the Cellar by Too_Many_Rooks for @icebluecyanide [Not Rated, 5 104 words]
'Perhaps he’d lied to himself as much as he’d lied to MI6. Every report they’d demanded had read the same; his nephew was normal, and safe, and happy, and they couldn’t have him. Ian was his parent in every way that mattered, not a prison warden for the thing that might lurk inside him. No one would take his kid away from him. But the snarling, blood-stained, monster, barely conscious with all his hate and his hunger that was chained up in their basement didn’t much resemble the sweet little boy who’d run to greet him at the door when he returned from long overseas missions, or the child who’d stare with wide-eyed joy and fascination as Ian showed him the world, nor even the stroppy tween who liked to complain about how boring and embarrassing his guardian was.' Ian is forced to enact a plan he'd been desperate to avoid when he returns home one day to find his nephew... changed.
Lot 14 by Rirren for @lastlymatt [E, 2 509 words]
Blind and deaf, Alex Rider is helpless as he is auctioned off.
Pinewood by turtle_snail [T, 5 166 words]
Alex and Freddy are captured by nightshade, the situation is starting to seem dire and maybe Alex can’t sass his way out of this one.
A different kind of sacrifice by limnal for @strangesoulmates [E, 4 346 words]
Alex, a young Celt, has been chosen to be handfasted with Yassen, a druid known for his love of blood magic and human sacrifice. There are expectations to fulfill this night.
A Winter Offering by LastlyMatt for @myulalie [E, 4 561 words]
In order for the village to make it through winter, Alex has been chosen as a sacrifice for the spirit of the woods.
Salt Water by Myulalie for @shehungthemoon [E, 4 618 words]
Five times Alex forces Yassen’s hand (and gets away with it).
Disciplinary Action by icebluecyanide for @lastlymatt [M, 4 475 words]
General Alexei Sarov makes good on his promise to have Alex whipped. "There will be no more outbursts," Sarov told him, his tone brooking no disobedience. "You will be quiet, and you will watch. And when Juan's punishment is over, you will take his place." Written for FebuWhump Day 24: "I'm doing this because I care about you" and the Alex in Chains prompt "Alex tied up in front of an audience".
The Mystery Suitor by turtle_snail for @myulalie [M, 8 311 words]
“I’ll think this is an amazing deal. It will bring prosperity to both our kingdoms. I think Prince Alex can agree.” He heard Ian say. Alex's curiosity doubled. He caught his name being included in some deal Ian was making on his behalf. “What was that about?” Alex demanded, not hiding the fact that he was eavesdropping seconds before. “You have a suitor.” Ian said, "I just got a marriage proposal.”
What a way to start the year! Thank you to all the participants, once again, and happy reading to anyone catching up now ♥
Feel free to keep browsing through the wishlists and gift something to someone even if the event is over, I'll be happy to reblog it here if you do!

Sketch-Verse Lore:Life on the XXX side & Tier Systems
Tumblr media
With the particular quirk and kinky nature of their respective wives or girlfriends and how often they get around with other women, it stands to reason that Krillin, Kirishima and Moxxie would somehow halogen to wind up finding themselves working in the porn industry. But of course the studios to work for her are professional as much as they are erotic in nature and the owners and operators of these establishments have a fond appreciation for the natural talents of their rookie studs, even obliging their need for a little anonymity to protect their identities and prevent from being recognised out on public streets. To say nothing of how much their co-stars just love and look forward to working with them for filming and photoshoots.
From the dragonball verse’s ZigZag studios aka Double Z studios we have Don Juan Sanchez (Krillin), to date the current sole human male star in the anthro occupied roster. Naturally this has seen him build up a steady growing body of work in its newly arisen human male on furry female tag demographic as well as a sizeable fanbase among women. Most chalk this up to the slight resemblance he has to the line of Warrior Monk sex dolls and his modest, humble charisma and debate rages I he would look better without the beard and tattoo (which are temporary). His most notable streak thus far has been the series of shoots he has performed with retired veteran stars who’ve made thir comebacks in a new career renaissance just to have another round with him. Rumours say he’s gotten up to more sexual hijinks off camera than on but nothing has been confirmed or denied….
Tumblr media
In the Heo Aca verse, we present ManaWorld Pictures’ Mr.R often referred to by his common character name Red (Kirishima), who Syx herself has come to consider her personal favourite rookie to date and she even has that statement in writing. This modest beefcake has made quite the body of work thanks to his Plus Ultra stamina and his personal drive and dedication on the ideal that a real man never leaves a woman sexually unfullfilled or unsatisfied. His Ikemen vibes have certainly also helped in not only being well built and quite well endowed but also the right blend of cute and handsome and his teddy bear like nature has made for quite good chemistry with some of his co-stars. One can only imagine his age and skill will only increase in age as his career runs on....
In the peculiar Hellverse, we have the Lust ring based Skullfuck Productions' talented rookie imp sensation known only as Mysterious M, an enigmatic demon of sophisticated theatrical taste and culture and an appreciation for the arts. This silver tongued sweetheart has made quite a name for himself with his ever growing body of work seeing him woo many a fine pretty sexy thing in Hell and even the living world and Heaven itself!! This has seen sales of his movies and views on the SFP website hit numbers mathmeticians have never even possibly heard of and that's not changing anytime soon. Many a woman has sent fan letters sharing intimate details they've had fantasizing about this masked imp visting them in their dreams to work his demonic magic on them....which has inspired the scriptwriters much to Mr.Sketch's delight...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rumours say that Demon Queen Chloe with her vast amount of free time and ultimate omnipotence and a few individuals made up a tier systems of studs & bull on what particular girls really like and want in a man. those who've qualified are all equal in endowment but it’s particularly ranked by emotional maturity . There are 4 tiers in total as follows as well examples of the guys who fall within each.
Tier 1 is the Lovable Every man Himbo: these guys are the every regular men who poses huge cocks and a level of relative maturity but in some way foreign to the Lewd occurrences . These are some who fall in this tier. Jon Herron, Dipper Pines, Izuku Midoriya, and Jaune Arc.
Tier 2 is the Reluctant Bull Moose: These are the guys who are thrusted in the lewd direction by random chance and fate. These are the ones who does it cause it’s the only choice or tricked.
Tier 3 is the Crutch Crotch. These are the emotional support dogs of the endowed hunks and himbos who attracts the laddies with their eagerness to listen and be courteous towards the women who they fuck
Tier 4 is the Trifecta Ratio Casanova: these are the hunks who are all three tiers in a perfect ratio of personality and skill. These of course are Kirishima, Krillin and Moxxie.

9th December >> Mass Readings (USA)
Saturday, First Week of Advent  or Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin. 
Saturday, First Week of Advent 
(Liturgical Colour: Violet: B (2))
First Reading Isaiah 30:19-21, 23-26 The Merciful One will show you mercy when you cry out.
Thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: O people of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem, no more will you weep; He will be gracious to you when you cry out, as soon as he hears he will answer you. The Lord will give you the bread you need and the water for which you thirst. No longer will your Teacher hide himself, but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher, While from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears: “This is the way; walk in it,” when you would turn to the right or to the left.
He will give rain for the seed that you sow in the ground, And the wheat that the soil produces will be rich and abundant. On that day your flock will be given pasture and the lamb will graze in spacious meadows; The oxen and the asses that till the ground will eat silage tossed to them with shovel and pitchfork. Upon every high mountain and lofty hill there will be streams of running water. On the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall, The light of the moon will be like that of the sun and the light of the sun will be seven times greater like the light of seven days. On the day the LORD binds up the wounds of his people, he will heal the bruises left by his blows.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 147:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
R/ Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
Praise the LORD, for he is good; sing praise to our God, for he is gracious; it is fitting to praise him. The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; the dispersed of Israel he gathers.
R/ Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He tells the number of the stars; he calls each by name.
R/ Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
Great is our LORD and mighty in power: to his wisdom there is no limit. The LORD sustains the lowly; the wicked he casts to the ground.
R/ Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
Gospel Acclamation Isaiah 33:22
Alleluia, alleluia. The LORD is our Judge, our Lawgiver, our King; he it is who will save us. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5a, 6-8 At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them.
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” Then he summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
---------------------------
Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin 
(Liturgical Colour: White: B (2))
(Readings for the memorial)
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Saturday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
Either:
First Reading Genesis 12:1-4a Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house.
The LORD said to Abram: “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.
”I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the communities of the earth shall find blessing in you.”
Abram went as the LORD directed him.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
OR: --------
First reading Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the whole assembly of the children of Israel and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy. “You shall not bear hatred for your brother in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen, do not incur sin because of him. Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”
OR: --------
First reading Deuteronomy 6:3-9 Love the Lord your God with all your heart.
Moses said to the people: “Hear, Israel, and be careful to observe these commandments, that you may grow and prosper the more, in keeping with the promise of the LORD, the God of your fathers, to give you a land flowing with milk and honey. “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today. Drill them into your children. Speak of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest. Bind them at your wrist as a sign and let them be as a pendant on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.”
OR: --------
First reading Deuteronomy 10:8-9 The Lord himself is our heritage.
Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them: “At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to be in attendance before the LORD and minister to him, and to give blessings in his name, as they have done to this day. For this reason, Levi has no share in the heritage with his brothers; the LORD himself is his heritage, as the LORD, your God, has told him.”
OR: --------
First reading 1 Kings 19:4-9a, 11-15a Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord.
Elijah went a day’s journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He prayed for death saying: “This is enough, O LORD! Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” He lay down and fell asleep under the broom tree, but then an angel touched him and ordered him to get up and eat. He looked and there at his head was a hearth cake and a jug of water. After he ate and drank, he lay down again, but the angel of the LORD came back a second time, touched him, and ordered, “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” He got up, ate, and drank; then strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb. There he came to a cave, where he took shelter. Then the LORD said to him, “Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by.” A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD— but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake– but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire– but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, “Elijah, why are you here?” He replied, “I have been most zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. But the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to the sword. I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.” The LORD said to him, “Go, take the road back to the desert near Damascus.”
OR: --------
First reading 1 Kings 19:16b, 19-21 Elisha left and followed Elijah.
The LORD said to Elijah: “You shall anoint Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, as prophet to succeed you.” Elijah set out and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat, as he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen; he was following the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and I will follow you.” Elijah answered, “Go back! Have I done anything to you?” Elisha left him and, taking the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them; he used the plowing equipment for fuel to boil their flesh, and gave it to his people to eat. Then he left and followed Elijah as his attendant.
OR: --------
First reading Tobit 8:4b-8 Allow us to live together to a happy old age.
On their wedding night Tobiah arose from bed and said to his wife, “My love, get up. Let us pray and beg our Lord to have mercy on us and to grant us deliverance.” She got up, and they started to pray and beg that deliverance might be theirs. He began with these words:
“Blessed are you, O God of our fathers; praised be your name forever and ever. Let the heavens and all your creation praise you forever. You made Adam and you gave him his wife Eve to be his help and support; and from these two the human race descended. You said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone; let us make him a partner like himself.’ Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine not because of lust, but for a noble purpose. Call down your mercy on me and on her, and allow us to live together to a happy old age.”
They said together, “Amen, amen.”
OR: --------
First reading Tobit 12:6-14a Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness.
The angel Raphael said to Tobit and his son: “Thank God! Give him the praise and the glory. Before all the living, acknowledge the many good things he has done for you, by blessing and extolling his name in song. Before all people, honor and proclaim God’s deeds, and do not be slack in praising him. A king’s secret it is prudent to keep, but the works of God are to be declared and made known. Praise them with due honor. Do good, and evil will not find its way to you. Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than abundance with wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold; for almsgiving saves one from death and expiates every sin. Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life; but those habitually guilty of sin are their own worst enemies. “I will now tell you the whole truth; I will conceal nothing at all from you. I have already said to you, ‘A king’s secret it is prudent to keep, but the works of God are to be made known with due honor.’ I can now tell you that when you, Tobit, and Sarah prayed, it was I who presented and read the record of your prayer before the Glory of the Lord; and I did the same thing when you used to bury the dead. When you did not hesitate to get up and leave your dinner in order to go and bury the dead, I was sent to put you to the test.”
OR: --------
First reading Judith 8:2-8 She was a very God-fearing woman.
Judith’s husband, Manasseh, of her own tribe and clan, had died at the time of the barley harvest. While he was in the field supervising those who bound the sheaves, he suffered sunstroke; and he died of this illness in Bethulia, his native city. Manasseh was buried with his fathers in the field between Dothan and Balamon. The widowed Judith remained three years and four months at home, where she set up a tent for herself on the roof of her house. She put sackcloth about her loins and wore widow’s weeds. She fasted all the days of her widowhood, except sabbath eves and sabbaths, new moon eves and new moons, feastdays and holidays of the house of Israel. She was beautifully formed and lovely to behold. Her husband, Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the son of Ahitub, the son of Melchis, the son of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of Sarasadai, the son of Simeon, had left her gold and silver, servants and maids, livestock and fields, which she was maintaining. No one had a bad word to say about her, for she was a very God-fearing woman.
OR: --------
First reading Esther C:1-7, 10 I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of man above that of God.
Mordecai prayed: “O God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, blessed are you; O Lord God, almighty King, all things are in your power, and there is no one to oppose you in your will to save Israel. You made heaven and earth and every wonderful thing under the heavens. You are LORD of all, and there is no one who can resist you, LORD. You know all things. You know, O LORD, that gladly would I have kissed the soles of Haman’s feet for the salvation of Israel. But I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of man above that of God. I will not bow down to anyone but you, my LORD and God. Hear my prayer; have pity on your inheritance and turn our sorrow into joy: thus we shall live to sing praise to your name, O LORD. Do not silence those who praise you.”
OR: --------
First reading Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31 The woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. She obtains wool and flax and makes cloth with skillful hands. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her fingers ply the spindle. She reaches out her hands to the poor, and extends her arms to the needy. Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

First reading Sirach 2:7-13 You who fear the Lord, believe him, hope in him, love him.
You who fear the LORD, wait for his mercy, turn not away lest you fall. You who fear the LORD, trust him, and your reward will not be lost. You who fear the LORD, hope for good things, for lasting joy and mercy. You who fear the Lord, love him and your hearts will be enlightened. Study the generations long past and understand; has anyone hoped in the LORD and been disappointed? Has anyone persevered in his commandments and been forsaken? Has anyone called upon him and been rebuffed? Compassionate and merciful is the LORD; he forgives sins, he saves in time of trouble and he is a protector to all who seek him in truth.

First reading Sirach 3:17-24 Humble yourself and you will find favor with God.
My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God. The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself in all things, and you will find grace before God. For great is the power of God; by the humble he is glorified. What is too sublime for you, seek not, into things beyond your strength search not. What is committed to you, attend to; for it is not necessary for you to see with your eyes those things which are hidden. With what is too much for you meddle not, when shown things beyond human understanding. Their own opinion has misled many, and false reasoning unbalanced their judgment. Where the pupil of the eye is missing, there is no light, and where there is no knowledge, there is no wisdom.

First reading Sirach 26:1-4, 13-16 Like the sun rising in the Lord’s heavens, the beauty of a virtuous wife is the radiance of her home.
Blessed the husband of a good wife, twice-lengthened are his days; A worthy wife brings joy to her husband, peaceful and full is his life. A good wife is a generous gift bestowed upon him who fears the LORD; Be he rich or poor, his heart is content, and a smile is ever on his face.
A gracious wife delights her husband, her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his bones; A gift from the LORD is her governed speech, and her firm virtue is of surpassing worth. Choicest of blessings is a modest wife, priceless her chaste soul. A holy and decent woman adds grace upon grace; indeed, no price is worthy of her temperate soul. Like the sun rising in the LORD’s heavens, the beauty of a virtuous wife is the radiance of her home.

First reading Isaiah 58:6-11 Share your bread with the hungry.
Thus says the LORD:
This is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday; Then the LORD will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.

You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped; you were too strong for me, and you triumphed. All the day I am an object for laughter; everyone mocks me. Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my message; The word of the LORD has brought me derision and reproach all the day. I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more. But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.

But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, Who shall take refuge in the name of the Lord: the remnant of Israel.

Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you.

Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten.

Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.

Gospel Mark 10:17-30 Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor; then come, follow me.
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.” He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” Peter began to say to him, “We have given up everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.”

Gospel Luke 6:27-38 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Jesus said to his disciples: “To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic. Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same. If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, and get back the same amount. But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back; then your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful. “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”
OR: --------
Gospel Luke 9:57-62 I will follow you wherever you go.
As Jesus and his disciples were proceeding on their journey, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus answered him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.” And to another he said, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.” But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.” And another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Gospel Luke 10:38-42 Martha welcomed him. Mary has chosen the better part.
Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”
OR: --------
Gospel Luke 12:32-34 Your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”
OR: --------
Gospel Luke 12:35-40 You also must be prepared.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

Gospel Luke 14:25-33 Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and addressed them, “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’ Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”

Gospel John 15:1-8 Whoever remains in me, and I in him, will bear much fruit.
Jesus said to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”
OR: --------
Gospel John 15:9-17 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. “I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another.”
Or:
Gospel John 17:20-26 I wish that where I am they also may be with me.
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: “Holy Father, I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.”

Anthony Volpe hits for an RBI, and we are tied!!! Thank you to all the Anthonys!!!! Now we have a game!! This goes to show me that I shouldn't cook while watching the game because as soon as I sat down, we scored. Lesson learned. Let's go Yankees!!!!!

RWBY Volume 9 Spoiler-Filled Review [part 2]
Continued from part 1
youtube
Blake and Yang are not alone. There are various indications what Weiss may have a crush on Juane, in a ship known as Whiteknight, with Weiss laughing when Juane is surprised by his own voice in the final episode. In addition, some fans saw hints of romantic themes between Weiss and Rose, known as White Rose. Others claimed there was confirmation that Nuts and Dolts, the ship name of Penny Poledina and Ruby, is canon. As the Blacksmith/Tree (voiced by Kimlinh Tran) says in the final episode, real balance comes from love and patience to see things through. That is the case for any of these ships.
Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs and Wayback Machine. This was the thirty-first article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on April 26, 2023.
As it turns out, not only is Zech openly bisexual, as noted earlier, as mentioned at various conventions over the years, but so is Lindsay Jones, who voices Ruby, as she stated in July 2018. Additionally, Tran, who is of Vietnamese descent, identifies as non-binary, asexual, and as a demigirl. Otherwise, it was a bit funny to witness those on social media shipping Summer Rose (mother of Ruby) and Raven Brawnwen (mother of Yang), known as Rosebird, after a scene of them together in the final episode. Some even believed that both characters were in a romantic relationship at some point.
All in all, the story of RWBY Volume 9 could have been significantly improved if the volume had at least four more episodes, the length of Volume 8. Even so, the average run-time of the episodes was only slightly less than those in the previous volume. Possibly due to budgeting, many of the episodes seemed relatively short. Even worse, they have no subtitles because Crunchyroll incorrectly described them as "dubbed". Hopefully the latter is fixed soon and subtitles are added. On the other hand, the show's music remained strong thanks to the talents of vocalist and songwriter Casey Lee Williams, and others such as Martin Gonzalez.
Williams' music, and that of others, meshes well with the show's emphasis on horror. This includes terrifying creatures, actions of Neo, or the antics of the Curious Cat, when he turns on them, takes over Neo for its own ends, and is murdered in the final episode.
There are many possible avenues for RWBY Volume 10, which seems somewhat confirmed. If the volume does come to pass, there will be the return of those who never used the pathways to Vacuo, or fell into the Ever After. This includes Winter, Ren, Oscar, Salem, Cinder, Qrow, Robin, and some of the Ace Ops. As such, there will undoubtedly be reunions between the characters the volume, which may be the final volume of RWBY as a whole.
Although RWBY is not perfect, and could be improved, including with the addition of more Black and Brown characters, it stands out as a strong series for young adults. It comes at a time that many series, especially those produced and aired on Disney channels, are produced to entertain children. Hopefully, other mature animations such as Arcane, Invincible, Helluva Boss, and Hazbin Hotel, to name four prominent series, fill the void left after the end of RWBY's ninth volume.
The series will not be in a hiatus as Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part 1 will be available on various platforms after April 25th. It will be followed by a second part this summer. I look forward to watching both films and highly recommend RWBY for the reasons mentioned in this review.
The ninth volume of RWBY is streaming on Crunchyroll, while previous seasons are on Rooster Teeth and Crunchyroll, and are available for purchase or rent on YouTube Movies.

Santa Cruz (Bolivia) 2 Ch F: Juan Manuel Cerundolo [1] def. Alvaro Guillen Meza 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 Match Stats
Tumblr media
📸 ATP official website
Some parts of the flow might have been chaotic as both players struggled to maintain their range in different sets, but Juanma's turning point came from the moments he broke back as he steadily pressed A. Guillen Meza's ground game, trying to absorb some pace while trying to improvise, starting from the drop shot response for his break point in a similar fashion to how A. Guillen Meza did it in the previous game. Somehow, this was also how Juanma created 13 break points, 3 more than A. Guillen Meza's 10, converting 7 of them thanks to appearing more aggressive within the last two sets.
Service game-wise, it appeared that both players had their own service game strengths. A. Guillen Meza might have fired 2 aces than Juanma's 1, but the latter's accurate serving helped him to get out of some troubles as he had an exceptional first serve winning percentage at 61%. However, the unseeded Ecuadorian's second serves appeared more risky as he double-faulted four times, but Juanma's frequent rushes faded his second serve winning percentage 6% below A. Guillen Meza instead, thus making his first serves more reliable in problematic times.
After winning last week's Lima 1 Challenger, this marked Juanma's second Challenger-level title within the fortnight, which propelled his rank back to 141 right before the Wimbledon qualification rounds. On the other hand, A. Guillen Meza went up to 259 live after this runner-up run, with his next tournament being the Ibague Challenger in the upcoming week as he will face wild card Juan Sebastian Osorio in the first round. What a progress from their respective starting points in this season.

Judge Unhappy with "We Want Soto" Chants at Yankee Stadium
It’s not uncommon for top players to become beloved by New York Yankees fans, but this adoration can sometimes have unexpected consequences.
One of the latest to win over the Bronx Bombers' faithful is Juan Soto. The Dominican slugger has quickly proven himself to be one of the best acquisitions for the Yankees in recent years, thanks to his impressive power hitting and consistent performances at the plate.
As the season draws to a close, however, Soto’s future with the Yankees remains uncertain. Set to become a free agent, Soto presents the team with a crucial decision: to negotiate a new contract to retain their rising star or to part ways with him. The Yankees management will have to carefully consider how to handle the Soto situation, knowing that his departure or retention could significantly impact the team’s future.
Soto's Impact on the Yankees
On Monday, Soto rejoined the Yankees lineup during their visit to Kauffman Stadium, where they secured a 4-2 victory against the Kansas City Royals. This return followed a brief absence due to discomfort in his left forearm.
Even though he missed the weekend series at home against the LA Dodgers, Soto’s influence was palpable. Fans at Yankee Stadium erupted into a unified chant of “We Want Soto,” expressing their fervent desire for the Dominican star to stay with the team.
However, this display of fan enthusiasm didn’t sit well with Yankees’ captain Aaron Judge, who is himself on course to break records. Judge admitted he “wasn’t too happy” with the timing of the chants, as they occurred during Trent Grisham’s at-bat. Grisham, who was filling in for Soto in the outfield, responded promptly by hitting a three-run home run off a Tyler Glasnow fastball, which seemed to make a point of its own.
As the Yankees navigate this crucial period, the fans' vocal support for Soto adds an extra layer of complexity to the team's decisions. Whether the chants will influence the management’s approach remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Juan Soto has made a significant impact on the Yankees and their fans.
