zeddison headcanons because i want them both and i need them back neow

they're both queer (not really a niche headcanon but i'm putting it)

it took zed many months to get over the dog imitation habit

(ignoring the queer headcanon for a sec) addison is the biggest ally to ever ally. like one of those obnoxious allies but it works for her

^full on rainbow cake and celebration when literally anyone comes out, but she'll also be lowkey if requested

they are "me? obsessed with you? yes, yes i am" personified (about each other, ofc)

addison was zed's anchor when it came time to learn how to control his zombie state (similar to kipo and her anchor from kataow)

addison knows enough of the zombie language to have conversations but struggles with pronunciation (i'm slightly projecting with this one i fear)

they're literally always holding hands or linking their arms/pinkies (literally canon)

addison lets zoey dress her up and do her hair, especially after she got her true alien hair

^zed has a whole album of pictures of addison after zoey's makeovers (simply just because he loves them both so much, literally only like 3 were taken for funny reasons)

zed has dyscalculia but thought that it was just a zombie brain issue for the longest time (yes, he's canonically top of his class. yes, i'm giving him dyscalculia. both can be true)

^once he figured out what he had, he had to be practically begged by addison and his friends to ask for accommodations

addison is insanely touch-starved but presents herself like she's not (i definitely feel like dale and missy weren't the most physically affectionate parents, and i assume that angie (her most touchy relative) died when addison was young)

addison is closer to eliza and bonzo than zed is to bree (this is pretty much supported by a handful of scenes in the movies but whatever)

^don't get it confused, zed and bree are still very friendly to each other, as she is addison's best friend and bonzo's girlfriend

addison's baked dessert of choice is muffins, especially fruit muffins

^zed hates the sensation of cooked fruit (we're projecting again) but he eats them anyway to make addison happy

^once addison finds out he doesn't like cooked fruit, she then feels really bad for giving him so many muffins to taste-test and recruits zoey and bonzo instead

zed is greek (at least on his dad's side, due to the "-polis")

zed ends up pursuing a career that does not require more years of school due to his gifted-kid burnout (we all know he has it) being so bad

^addison most likely pursued something in the hospitality industry, became a politician like her mom (but like an actually good one), or became a defense lawyer

^i also feel like addison's the breadwinner of their relationship (not that that matters in the slightest just a thought)

dream come true (M, eventually E) 𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔱𝔲𝔰 ➾ [work in progress]

→ Dominik, whose dreams of becoming a professional football player ended years ago due to injury, has dedicated himself to a new passion: physiotherapy. After moving to Liverpool to complete his studies, he meets Trent, a local lad whose dream of playing in the first team is about to come true. But what if, in meeting one another, their dreams become intertwined?

꧁HENDOLLANA꧂ (jordan henderson/adam lallana)

borne in red (E; dubcon) → In a world where men have been discovered to be infertile, the few men who are not sterile are forced into service of Captains and their Wives. Adam Lallana is one of these "studs," also known as Reds. He is also, dangerously, in love with men. Over a course of Ceremonies, he discovers that his Captain has a secret, and that his proclivities may be indeed similar to Adam's own desires…

A Hendollana AU based on Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale.

working on the riddle of your heart (E) → Dominik can’t stop thinking about Trent. Ever since pre-season training, he has been obsessed. God, Dominik wants to be possessed by Trent.

champagne supernova (happy new year, ye tosser) (T) → It's New Year's Eve, and all Carra can think about is whether a certain Manc will kiss him at midnight. Maybe a little liquid courage will help light the way.

we do not need to engage with all posts. sometimes people can be stupid on the internet and it's fine, actually. we do not need to correct people for making grandiose statements based on knowledge they acquired at age 11 and haven't updated since <- said through gritted teeth

Dallas Clowns Cowboys

Playoffs are here so ill make a tiny introduction of my dumb favs (under a read more because this is LONG)

Dak Prescott: our beloved quarterback <3 you either hate him or love him. But he is a really nice guy and doesnt deserve the amount of hate he gets. Always injured so please pray for his body. He has been through a lot pls he deserves nice things. #4

Zeke Elliott: He loves Dak more than every other human on earth combined. He is DumbTM but his smile brightens up the room and thats enough for me! Running Back and team clown. He used to wear the jerseys as crop tops and he should bring it back asap. #21

Micah Parsons: linebacker and DPOTY of my heart (bosa fuck you) Its just his second year. He is dumb but very pretty and VERY fast. He spent one afternoon giving fans gas money on twitter because yes. #11

Trevon Diggs: his son is funnier than him. Cornerback and also very dumb <3 Yes, stefon's little brother #7

DeMarcus Lawrence: The Boss of our defense and unofficial pep-talk giver. Defensive end. #90

CeeDee Lamb: we do NOT say his real name. I named this blog after him when he was just a rookie, thats how much i love him. Man likes nice smells, candles and dogs, he is perfect. Wide Receiver. #88

Tony Pollard: Running Back. You either get him or Zeke. He is fast and likes stressing me. #20

Dalton Schultz: Tight End. People forget about him and thats very rude imo because i love him very much. #86

Michael Gallup: my fav acrobat <3 Wide Receiver #13

KaVontae Turpin: he is very tiny (for NFL standars, he is still taller than me) and very dumb im so soft for him. Oficcially a wide reciever but he is our return specialist mainly. He gets excited when he sees Fellow Tiny Men on other teams. #9

Cooper Rush: our backup quarterback. No offense Coop because i love you but the less i see you, the better #10

And thats it im tired and its almost 5:30 am <3 i swear they are nice boys please even if you dont support them, dont hate them (if you are a philly fan... im sorry)

[cryingforcrocodiles]

thinking about the guy i saw once on the city bus who kept recording tiktoks of him flexing his stack of 5s with the audio "get your money up not your funny up" repeatedly next to me

[stephstars08]

I can’t stand when people reblog my posts just to say something negative about what I posted! Like please just keep on scrolling! It’s so childish! If you don’t like what I posted JUST KEEP SCROLLING! That’s what a mature person does!!!!

no i really appreciated your thoughts ty for the response! i totally get your perspective, i’ve been into hockey for a good while now and am only recently really getting into football (partially in thanks to your tumblr <3!) but i’ve felt really similarly to some of the things you mentioned about basketball with that being the sport i’m most invested in lol. idk how to phrase this exactly and of course this isn’t at all true of everyone but whether or not intentional i feel like parts of hockey fandom can sometimes come off as though the narratives and dynamics that are found in hockey aren’t found anywhere else when stories and relationships are the most foundational aspects of any sport 😭 like that’s the beauty in all of them! it saddens me so bad from time to time that the dynamics and lore of my most beloved teams go under the radar when there’s so much there... and like you said a lot of times we know why lol… it’s been really sweet to see the growth of bengalsblr/football fandom in general these past few months though, here’s to hoping it’s a trend that picks up into the new year! <3

thank you for offering more of your thoughts!! (and welcome to football tumblr <3 <3 we're glad to have you!)

and yeah, again, it's not like i think the hockey fandom is BAD or that i don't respect the lore i see my mutuals post about. there is absolutely some fascinating and interesting stuff going on there, and again i do love a lot of the hockey fic i've read! but i just see so much passion and love in that fandom and wish that it could extend to other sports fandoms! because like you put so well, stories/relationships are the foundational aspects of any sport!

also yes!! basketball is another sport that deserves so much more love on here!! i love seeing what my basketball mutuals post and i've even vaguely adopted some of those ships even if i don't know all the lore! (plus the basketball fic on ao3 is also AMAZING).

thankfully i have noticed the tides turning over the last few years. when i first got into the bengals there were maybe like 3 fandom blogs on here (not including the thousands of joe exclusive blogs lol, but that's a whole other thing). and now so many more people are talking about them and other teams! it's been really great to see, so i can't complain too much!

[monsterfactoryfanfic]

if I've learned anything from grad school it's to check your sources, and this has proven invaluable in the dozens of instances when I've had an MBA-type try to tell me something about finances or leadership. Case in point:

Firefox serves me clickbaity articles through Pocket, which is fine because I like Firefox. But sometimes an article makes me curious. I'm pretty anal about my finances, and I wondered if this article was, as I suspected, total horseshit, or could potentially benefit me and help me get my spending under control. So let's check the article in question.

It mostly seems like common sense. "...track expenses and income for at least a month before setting a budget...How much money do I have or earn? How much do I want to save?" Basic shit like that. But then I get to this section:

This sounds fucking made up to me. And thankfully, they've provided a source to their claim that "research has repeatedly shown" that writing things down changes behavior. First mistake. What research is this?

Forbes, naturally, my #1 source for absolute dogshit fart-sniffing financial schlock. Forbes is the type of website that guy from high school who constantly posts on linkedin trawls daily for little articles like this that make him feel better about refusing to pay for a decent package for his employees' healthcare (I'm from the United States, a barbaric, conflict-ridden country in the throes of civil unrest, so obsessed with violence that its warlords prioritize weapons over universal medical coverage. I digress). Forbes constantly posts shit like this, and I constantly spend my time at leadership seminars debunking poor consultants who get paid to read these claims credulously. Look at this highlighted text. Does it make sense to you that simply writing your financial goals down would result in a 10x increase in your income? Because if it does, let me make you an offer on this sick ass bridge.

Thankfully, Forbes also makes the mistake of citing their sources. Let's check to see where this hyperlink goes:

SidSavara. I've never heard of this site, but the About section tells me that Sid is "a technology leader who empowers teams to grow into their best selves. He is a life-long learner enjoys developing software, leading teams in delivering mission critical projects, playing guitar and watching football and basketball."

That doesn't mean anything. What are his LinkedIn credentials? With the caveat that anyone can lie on Linkedin, Mr. Savara appears to be a Software Engineer. Which is fine! I'm glad software engineers exist! But Sid's got nothing in his professional history which suggests he knows shit about finance. So I'm already pretty skeptical of his website, which is increasingly looking like a personal fart-huffing blog.

The article itself repeats the credulous claim made in the Forbes story earlier, but this time, provides no link for the 3% story. Mr. Savara is smarter than his colleages at Forbes, it's much wiser to just make shit up.

HOWEVER. I am not the first person to have followed this rabbit hole. Because at the very top of this article, there is a disclaimer.

Uh oh!

Sid's been called out before, and in the follow up to this article, he reveals the truth.

You can guess where this is going.

So to go back to the VERY beginning of this post, both Pocket/Good Housekeeping and Forbes failed to do even the most basic of research, taking the wild claim that writing down your budget may increase your income by 10x on good faith and the word of a(n admittedly honest about his shortcomings) software engineer.

Why did I spend 30 minutes to make a tumblr post about this? Mostly to show off how smart I am, but also to remind folks of just how flimsy any claim on the internet can be. Click those links, follow those sources, and when the sources stop linking, ask why.

i am annoyingly and intensely into hockey right now so please feel free to block my tag -> hky if you understandably dont want to see that on your dash
