Chapter 4: Are there some aces up your sleeve?

—

“(Y/N), that is the 4th time you messed up the Camel spin today. If you can’t do it then we’ll just take it out of the program-“

“No! No, I can do it coach! I’m just having an off day and-“

“That’s not an excuse. Regionals are in late October, it is September. There shouldn’t be any excuse, we’re been doing this on repeat. This should be muscle memory.”

Coach Kavinsky words were only twisting the knife. You brought your shaky hands up to cover your nose and mouth, attempting to warm your face a bit and keep yourself from sobbing. Ever since you woke up in the morning everything has gone to shit. You failed your exam in your math class, on your way to your english class, you tripped and dropped your Starbucks, causing it to spill all over your shoes, and now you kept messing up the program. Logan could tell you were mere minutes away from a breakdown, your eyes were wet and your breathing was rapid, partly from skating and partly because you were trying to keep an oncoming panic attack at bay. “I-I can do it! I can do it, I just need a minute-“ you stutter and stumbles over your words, you bring your gloved hands over your face and placing them on the top of your hands.

“I think we should take a break coach, (Y/N) just needs to get some fresh air, right (Y/N)?” Logan said in a calm voice as the put his hand on your shoulder, but you quickly shook it off.

“No, it’s okay I can do it. See?” You were going hysterical, getting into position to do the spin only to fail the spin and fall butt first on the ice. Okay now you were having a breakdown.

“Jesus… okay. Logan take her outside, help her calm down will you?” Coach Kavinsky said to Logan who just nodded, waiting for you to move to your knees to help you get up and out of the rink.

—

“I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me today…” You stuttered in between shallow breaths, Logan’s hand rubbing slow smooth circles on your back in an attempt to help you calm down. “I’ve- I’ve never had trouble with that spin before- I just- I-“ you couldn’t finish, you’re stutters just devolving into more sobs as you put your face into your partner’s chest, tears spilling out. “I’m getting your shirt all wet…” You managed to say with a small chuckle as you pulled away after a few minutes, but the laugh was devoid of any warmness or joy. Your hand wiping some left over tears from your cheeks.

“It’s fine, I’m more worried about my best friend.” Logan said with a small smile, the hand that was rubbing your back now tracing up to your shoulders and pulling you closer to him in a side hug, you let out a small sigh as you laid your head on his shoulder.

“Thanks Logan… I’m sorry… I’m a totally mess…” You mumbled as you wipe some more tears away, your eyes red and puff, a headache slowly creeping up on you from all the crying.

—

“Why… the fuck my is Ice princess and her little skating partner so close…” Miguel thought as he got out car, slamming the door without realizing as he glares at you and Logan from his spot across the parking lot. You or Logan hadn’t seen him since you were both so far away, and were more focused on trying to calm you down, Miguel was too far to noticed your tear stained face.

“Damn Miguel, dent the door why don’t you.” Peter attempted to joke while getting out from the passenger seat but his voice faltered, letting out a nervous chuckle after. Peter already knew the team was gonna be used as Miguel’s personal stress ball for the entirety of the practice time. Miguel just sent a glare at him in response, a small grunt escapes his lips as both of them grab their bags and hockey sticks from the back seat. “You seem more mad than usual, wanna talk about it? Or are you just gonna “accidentally” slam half the team into the boards like always?” He probes his captain, but he already knew his answer. Everyone on the team knew that Miguel isn’t a talk-about-your-feelings person.

“Shut up Parker.” He mutters as he slings his bag on his shoulders, closing and locking the door before both males started to make their way to the entrance. You currently burying your face into Logan’s shoulder, so Miguel couldn’t see your face, and Logan’s head was resting on top of yours, his arm still over your shoulders, his thumb creasing small circles on your shoulder. As soon as you were in ear-shot, Miguel shouted out to you both. “Aww look at the two lovebirds!” His voice dripping with sarcasm to hid the slight anger and jealousy he felt.

“I’m not in the mood, Miguel…” You’re voice was horse and raspy, as you spoke, and your eyes were bloodshot and puffy when you lifted your head up to look at him. The sight made Miguel’s heart ache, but the way your body was so close to Logan’s made it fill with rage and envy a lot more.

“She’s having a bad day, can we save-“ Logan started but was swiftly cut off.

“And that’s my problem because?” He hissed, eyes narrowing. “What’s wrong huh? Did he drop you on your back again? Or was it something stupid like missing up a spin?” He taunted with a head tilt, Logan glared at Miguel, his hand’s grip tightening on your shoulder, Peter just nervously shifted his weight back and forth between his feet and you, well you were trying not to burst into tears again. He made it sound a lot more simple then it felt like, it made you feel embarrassed for being so distraught about it. He had no way of knowing that’s actually the reason for your tears.

“Can you not be a dick for 5 minutes?” You ask with an exhausted dry laugh, the laugh was your body’s way of holding yourself back from beginning to sob again. Your hand goes up to wipe some smuggled mascara from under your eyes. “Everything has been so fucking shitty all day, I-I don’t need you to come her and kick me while I’m down, Okay?” Your voice cracked as you spoke, and it only made Miguel feel worse.

You were right, he was acting like a major jerk right now. God what is wrong with him? Here you were in such a vulnerable place, your heart laying bare in front of him, and instead of making you feel better, instead of making your chest full with warmth and reassurance, he grabbed your still beating heart and began to feast on it like it was that night’s dinner.

God. What the fuck Miguel? What the fuck? What the fuck. Whatthefuck. Whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck-

“Alright,” Coach Kavinsky came outside, crossing her arms as she spoke. “I’m just gonna cut practice short, it’s almost over anyways.” She said to Logan and you, before turning to you and speaking to you directly, “Go home, get some rest, and don’t stress yourself out too much over this, alright (Y/N?) Tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start, don’t let this one bad practice ruin your confidence in the program.” She finished, you just shook your head at her before she turned around and walked back into the building.

“Alright… let’s get you inside…” Logan said to you in a low comforting tone, getting off the sidewalk before helping you up, and began to walk you inside.

Miguel Let out a Heavy sigh, glancing to his side, running a hand through his slicked back dark hair, before attempting to speak, “Look. Princes-“ but he quickly shut his mouth when Logan looked over at him and sent him a dark glare, not stopping as he grabs your hand and drags you inside. If looks could kill, Miguel would be six feet under.

After a beat of silence, Peter cleared his throat before speaking, “well…that’s one way of trying to get her to notice you, nice going Miguel.” If Miguel didn’t already plan on releasing all his confused feelings and frustrations out on the ice before, he sure as hell was going to now. Miguel sent Peter a glare, mumbling some curses under his breath in Spanish , before he began to go walk into the arena, Peter stumbling to catch up with him.

YOU’RE! IN!DESTRUCT!IBLE!!!!! HEADS!!! ARE GONNA ROLLLLLL

[frodo-with-glasses]

More Reading Thoughts: The Grey Havens

Oh wow, another chapter review, haven’t seen one of those in ten thousand years

I’m not ready I’m not ready I’m not ready aaaaahhh

this has been such an incredible year and a half; i don’t want this book to end

but the sooner i finish, the sooner i can start over again!! so let’s go

Fatty Bolger!! 😭 We missed you, friend!

Man how am I gonna draw him skinny and still recognizable?? Guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it

LOBELIA!

Man I remember being so annoyed that she received a welcome like this when I was a kid, but now that I’m older, the display of mercy is overwhelmingly touching

She’s leaning on Frodo’s arm!! FRODO’S! He brought her out himself! And they all cheer for her courage and tenacity!

AND SHE LEFT HER MONEY FOR CHARITY

Y’know what? You’re all right after all, Lobelia. You’re all right.

I love the implication that hobbits will not accept a mayor who is not RotundTM 🤣

Ahhhhh okay so THAT’S where I got my childhood definition of “horny”

I’m sure in this case it means “like horn (the material), hard and rough”, which is an excellent descriptor, and it’s a shame I will never be able to use it in my own writing

THEY FOUND THE HIDDEN FOOD AND HAD IT FOR YULE! HECK YES!

Aww, I love you, Gaffer

“It was a purely Bywater joke to refer to it as Sharkey’s End” PFFFFFFT 🤣🤣

The four hobbits being known as the Travellers is so sweet

Frodo: “Ah yes, your box of dirt, the box of dirt from Galadriel, the box of dirt given specifically to you by Galadriel, Galadriel’s dirt”

I love that Frodo knows every single grain of this stuff is magical

I love even more that Sam is antsy and can hardly keep himself from running around and checking if the dirt is doing anything LOL

MALLORN TREE IN THE PARTY FIELD

I’M GONNA FRICKIN’ CRYYYYY

Year 1420 haha blaze it

“All the children born or begotten in that year, and there were many…” Tolkien knows how baby booms work

“And no one was ill, and everyone was pleased, except those who had to mow the grass” BAHAHAHA 🤣

Ohhhhh oh Frodo, oh bby

Sam was away 😭 And Farmer Cotton was the one who found Frodo in his bed in pain 😭😭 o w

Okay but Frodo just automatically assuming like “of COURSE we’re gonna be roomies” is just *chef’s kiss*

IMAGINE. FRODO WAS PERFECTLY PREPARED TO LIVE WITH JUST SAM WITH HIM IN BAG END. JUST THE TWO OF THEM. IMAGINE

I love these boys so heckin’ much

Frodo: So we’re roomies, yeah? Sam: Er, I…well I’d love to, but…but Rosie. Frodo: MORE ROOMIES 8-D

Tolkien: “And they loved Frodo dearly, and no one in the Shire was better cared for” Me: Thanks, Tolkien 🥹😭💚

Merry and Pippin walking around like the local legends they are

Sam doesn’t even know how well respected he is in the Shire 🥺

Noooo Weathertop

ELANOOOOOOR

“Taking after Rose more than me, luckily” And this solidifies my headcanon that Rosie is drop-dead gorgeous

Frodo hiding his illness from Sam hurts, man. You can feel him trying to stay cheerful. Ow, ow, ow.

“‘You can’t go far or for a long time now, of course,’ he said a little wistfully.” I AM GOING TO EAT THE CARPET

ALL HE WANTS IS TO BE WITH HIS SAM

BUT HE WANTS SAM TO BE HAPPY AND ENJOY HIS FAMILY EVEN MORE

HE LOVES SAM ENOUGH TO LET HIM GO

I’M GONNA BREAK SOMETHING

“The Downfall of: The Lord of the Rings” Rollllll credits! *ding*

Oh. Ohhhh. The Elvish song meeting Frodo and Sam as they sit on their ponies in the forest in late evening. I’m gonna cry.

Bilbo: Well, I’m older than the Old Took now! Bucket list completed. Time to go!

“But I thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done.” Same, Sam…same. 😭😭 (that’s what the Magnolia AU is for)

How. How does Frodo predict the names of Sam’s kids. “And perhaps more I cannot see”—how can he see in the first place?? How does he know? He’s getting Elvish, Frodo is. Very, very elvish.

Just. Frodo’s whole speech. I don’t have anything to say, I’m just soaking it in, and I feel so joyful and so sad all at once. It’s so tender and intimate and yet so distant. Tolkien, you’re so cruel, I love you.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

I JUST TURNED THE PAGE

AND THE RIGHT SIDE PAGE IS HALF-BLANK

I’M NOT READY I’M NOT READY I’M NOT READY

Okay okay be calm, it’s okay, just keep going

MERRY AND PIPPINNNNNNN

THEY CAMEEEEEE

And they’re ending the story the same way they joined it because Frodo is trying to leave and they said “NOT WITHOUT US” I’M GONNA GNAW HOLES IN THE COUCH AND BAWL LIKE A BABY

KISSES!! FOR EVERYONE!!!

WHITE SHORES AND A FAR GREEN COUNTRY UNDER A SWIFT SUNRISE

S H U T U P DON’T TOUCH ME

The three of them riding back home in silence but taking comfort in each other

I joke about these things making me cry but I actually, literally, have mist in my eyes right now holy cow

It’s so melancholy and comforting and it hurts and yet it makes you feel so happy and whole

The story is coming to an end, and there’s so much you want to say, but you can’t find words for any of it, and yet the silence says everything and more

(And Merry and Pippin don’t start singing until they take their leave of Sam, almost as if they were being considerate of his feelings first, but as they go and you hear their voices in the distance you get the sense that everything is going to be okay)

“Well, I’m back.”

…

The end.

[fluffallamaful]

Here's something that I feel like should be talked about more, a certain spot or a surprise attack getting an uncommon/rare or weird laugh out of a lee and instead of hiding it or being embarrassed by it (which is what's commonly talked about) the lee laughs at it

"Did you just hear my laugh just then?"

"Was that my laugh? Where did that come from?"

"How did that sound come out of me?"

lee george lee george lee george lee george vibes right there!!

ok this is a concept i’ve had regarding this for ages. but concept (irl);

karl and george are streaming together and karl shows him his vtuber avatar. george immediately starts making all these weird faces and everything to test it out, and then karl zaps his sides just coz he can.

george then not only laughs at the strangest strangled noise that comes out of him, but also cackles at the spasm that the vtuber avatar goes through (trying to follow his reaction). in fact he finds the reaction so hilarious, that he immediately asks karl to do it again — without thinking, he just thought it was funny — before realising that he had accidentally just asked karl to tickle him

[fluffallamaful]

ok but this is all fun and games for the ‘tickle ghost’ until the ‘lees’ work out that they can fight back… and not only that it the tickle ghost is blind…

i’m absolutely thinking about the halloween photo shoot, and imagining dream following sapnap round after the photos are taken because “ooo the tickle ghost~ it needs to be exorcised” and sap is giggly and running away from him at first until he realised that if he just fights back, then dream can’t do anything coz he’s just got a sheet on his head?

A tiny concept since I'm bored:

People always love the idea of playing as the tickle monster, but I've never heard of a tease using a "tickle ghost". A ler putting a sheet over their head and following the lee around while trying to fluster them with teases but never actually touching them, because they're a ghost! Finally, in order to "exorcize the ghost from the household" the lee has to allow the ghost to tickle them until the say stop of course.

Just imagine Dream gets bored one day and both George and Sapnap find a really tall sheeted man walking around the house (and occasionally running into walls but shhh we don't talk about it) and quietly whispering teases to them only when they are alone. When they finally confront him about him, he claims the only way to exorcize him is with a ticklish sacrifice, in which Sapnap pushes George towards Dream in a panic. So Dream takes his sheet and throws it over George's head to entrap him and begins his attack ahfkfbjdns

Sports sucks. That’s the mindset (y/n) carried over to Karasuno, in his second year of high school.

He was doing great. He joined the writing club, he did extra well in his English classes, and even made acquaintances who didn’t force them to learn a sport for the rest of their life’s.

He doesn’t think he’d call them “friends” though. They weren’t as close as he was to his ‘teammates’. Or Kenma. Or Kuroo.

But then again, his relationship with Kuroo wasn’t real. And (y/n) will forever hate him for that. He’ll hate his guts for as long as he lives, for wasting his time and giving up his passion just because he couldn’t suck it up to tell him he didn’t want to be friends anymore.

“(L/n)-San, you’re late.”

A cold sweat broke out on (y/n). He looked up at his history teacher, with a nervous smile. He didn’t care for that class as much as the others, so it’s hard to keep up when you aren’t interested.

“(L/n), this is your third offense. I’m going to have to send you to detention. Take your seat and see me after class.”

“Yes sensei...”

He tiptoed to his seat and slid into his chair, with his head down. It was his first detention. He wasn’t going to lie when he said he was nervous.

————-

The detention wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be. When he walked in, the teacher supervising was asleep on his desk, and there were only about 4-5 second years in there.

None really stood out, minus the one sitting in the corner, with his feet up, spinning a volleyball in between his hands. He had hair that reminded him of that bitch Kuroo, except it was styled like that on purpose, and there was a streak of blond straight in the middle.

The stranger seemed to catch his disgusted face, and said “Oi-you got a problem, pretty boy?”

(Y/n) wiped the look off his face and leaned a against the wall, not wanting to sit down. He stood there for about 5 minutes, before he heard the ever so familiar sound of a volleyball being smacked. Absentmindedly, he turned towards the sound, and brought his hands up to receive the ball. It’s the first thing they drill into your mind in that prison called Nekoma, so could you really blame him?

The thing he didn’t expect, was the ball to actually hit his hands. He thought the sound was in his head, or the boy just smacked the ball in his hands, but he didn’t think that he threw the damn ball at him. The ball effortlessly bounced off his arms and flew back into the hands of the boy, who had a shocked, excited, expression.

“You play volleyball?!” The boy jumped out of his seat and ran up to him. He was short, but then again, (y/n) wasn’t that tall to begin with.

“I...don’t...I’m sorry.”

“Bullshit! That was a perfect receive! I’ve seen guys on my team who don’t have a receive as good as that!”

Team? He thought there would be no ‘team’. This is the one school with that ‘fallen crows’ thing, right?

The boy was jumping up and down, praising his receive and making weird sound effects. He’s never really been praised on his receive before. It was heartwarming.

“-and you gotta join my team!”

“Hell no. I don’t play volleyball anymore. I’m done with it.” The words came out like an automated response. The boy tilted his head to the side.

“Why not? Your one of those new kids right? I don’t think I’ve seen you last year.”

“I don’t care much to talk about it” (y/n) chuckled and sat down. The boy sat down next to him, to his disappointment.

“I’m Nishinoya Yuu. What’s your name?”

“(Y/n).” (Y/n) said nothing more, mainly because he was used to going by his first name at Nekoma.

“(Y/n)? Just (y/n)? Is that your first name or your last orrrr-“

“First,” (y/n) drummed his fingers on the desk. “I don’t like formalities when it comes to spor-“

That response came out automatically aswell. It’s something Kenma said so much, that he started doing it aswell. They weren’t even doing sports. They’re in detention for gods sake.

“Nice to meet you man!” Nishinoya gave him a pat on the back. (Y/n) flinched a bit. Kenma wasn’t touchy at all, and Kuroo avoided as much contact with him as possible. Yet this...stranger was talking to him like he was the last person on earth. He was the center of attention right now. And he loved that feeling.

Are all countryside people this nice? Back in Tokyo, or at least with Kenma and Kuroo, they weren’t so...touchy. And the team wasn’t touchy as well. But maybe this is different. Maybe...

“You have to at least VISIT the practice! I won’t force you to join! But this is my last day of detention before I finally return and it would be cool if I got another player in! Not that I’m assuming you’ll want to play instantly but-“

“I’ll do it.”

“Really!?”

He was just going to watch. He wanted to see how different the Miyagi players were compared to Tokyo. That’s all. After that he’s going to leave. No more volleyball.

————

Nishinoya and (y/n) became good friends during the remainder of the detention. He told (y/n) he was a libero, and asked what his old position was. He lied and said he was a libero too. There was really no reason to lie, but he didn’t want to say he was a setter either.

On their way to the gym, (y/n) could practically feel how excited Nishinoya was. It was something (y/n) could never understand. They neared the entrance to the gym, when Nishinoya suddenly sprinted inside. A ball hurdled towards him, and he returned in the direction it came from, with little to no effort.

(Y/n) jogged in after him. “Noya! Warn me when you start sprinting damnit! you scared me!” A boy with bright orange hair, also pretty short, stared at Nishinoya with wide eyes.

“He’s...he’s shorter than me!”

“Huh? Hey, what did you just say?!” The libero got ready to pounce on the other short boy when he choked out a panicked “s-sorry!”

They started going back and forth on stuff

(y/n) wasn’t paying attention to, when 3 other people walked into the gym.

“Oi! Noya-San!”

“Ryu!”

The unknown people started greeting Nishinoya, while (y/n) stood awkwardly to the side.

“Oh! Let me introduce you.” Noya gestured towards (y/n), who stiffened once all eyes landed on him. My name is (y/n), uh-just (y/n). I don’t like formalities when it comes to sports.”

“Yeah! He said he wanted to watch-“

“Actually I want to join.”

It was something (y/n) said on impulse, after looking at everyone’s friendly attitude. They looked at (y/n), even though he was a total stranger, like he was a part of the family. He couldn’t help the words spilling out of his mouth. Nishinoya went silent, along with everyone in the room. A smile grew on Noyas face as he shook (y/n’s) shoulders giddily.

“That’s great! What position are you going to play?” The black haired dude with tan skin said, walking up to (y/n) and patting him on the back. Again, with everyone’s kindness. It’s so weird.

“Set-“

His throat closed in as if it told him he wasn’t supposed to say that. He felt the piercing stare of a boy with black hair and blue eyes. He was most likely a setter. He also looked at the kind smile of the man with silver hair, but how his eyes betrayed his kind look. They looked sad, and droplet of sweat rolled down his cheek. He was probably a setter, too. (Y/n) closed his mouth, then opened it again.

“...Libero. I want to play libero with Noya, if that’s alright.”

(Y/n) hoped he wouldn’t regret his decision. Not of signing up as a libero, his defense was pretty strong and on par with Noyas. He just hoped he wouldn’t regret joining the volleyball team he sought to never set foot on.

But everyone’s warm, friendly smiles made him forget about his inner turmoil, even temporarily.

He’d guess he’d have to quit the writing club, then.

————

“Rolllllling thunnnnnder!”

Noya dove for the ball and tumbled away, before standing up, looking proud of himself.

Tanaka and (y/n) started laughing hysterically, while Suga awkwardly mused out a “N-nice receive..”

“Why did he yell that out?” Kageyama looked just as dumbfounded as Sugawara, while Tsukishima and Yamaguchi stifled their laughter. “Pfft-what was that?”

“Kageyama! Tsukishima! Yamaguchi! I’m going to lecture you all! Crouch down! I mean-sit down!”

That just made (y/n) laugh even harder. He forgot why he hated volleyball so much, his stamina built to the point he wasn’t dying when he ran laps, and moments like these made him feel like he was on top of the world. He had a family. A new start. Things were going great. Nothing could ever-

“Everyone! I want you to gather around!” Takeda-Sensei burst through the gym doors, making everyone turn their heads. He started talking about some “golden week training camp” and how they needed to practice. (Y/n) wasn’t really paying attention, choosing to jokingly poke Tanakas waist with a “rollingu tsandaa~!!” Until-

“-and for the last day of golden week, I’ve arranged a practice match!”

Tanaka shooed away (y/n’s) hands and cheered. “Whooah! Who’s our opponent?”

“A venerated school in Tokyo, Nekoma high school.”

(Y/n’s) heart stopped. Every moment of his childhood he wasted cane flooding back just as he started to feel content with his new high school life. His eyes widened dramatically and his mouth hung open a tad. Sugawara seemed to notice, and gave him a concerned look as everyone was buzzing about the practice match.

“You okay?” No response.

“(Y/n?)” no response.

(Y/n) felt the ground swirling under his feet. It suddenly felt like there wasn’t enough air in the gym and the knee pads squeezed the everliving hell out of his legs.

“(Y/n)!” All eyes were on him. He was on the ground, sitting down and starring blankly at Takeda-sensei, while everyone silently stared back at (y/n).

This situation felt familiar.

————

The training camp flew by in a flash. It was one or two day before the dreaded match with Nekoma, and they were sprinting around the street to warmup. However Hinata, being Hinata, ran too far and unknowningly, to a place he didn’t recognize.

“Did I get lost?” His thoughts were intruded when he saw a boy, with bleach blond hair, sitting on the curb playing on his phone.

‘A bright red jersey. You don’t see much of those around here.’ Hinata thought.

“Hey! What are you doing?” Hinata ran up to the boy, who was obviously startled by Hinatas sudden exclamation. He looked from his phone, to Hinata, then to the ground.

“Um...I’m lost...”

“Eh? You’re from out of town?” Hinata cocked his head to the side, as the boy with the blond hair turned back to his phone.

“Yeah.”

They stood in silence, with Hinata admiring the game the boy was playing on his phone, when he suddenly jumped up, squealing.

“Are you a volleyball player?! Those are volleyball shoes!”

“Oh...yeah...”

The boy put his phone down and looked at him though his mop of hair. Hinata jumped up and down excitedly.

“I’m in a volleyball club too. I’m Hinata Shoyo!”

Another silence engulfed them, before the boy spoke up. “Kozume...”

“Kozume? That’s you name?”

The boy, ‘Kozume’, looked down at his bag. He then drew his gaze back up, mumbling out a “Kenma” before he looked back down.

“So your Kenma, Huh? Are you in high school?”

“Yeah...I’m a second year.”

Hinata stiffened and straighted his posture rigidly. “Crap! Your older than me! P-pardon me!”

“Don’t worry, I don’t really like formalities when it comes to sports.”

That statement made Hinatas shoulders relax, now sporting an odd look on his face. Kenma noticed his gaze, but said nothing. The thing he said now, was exactly what (Y/n) always said. When he introduced himself when he joined, when he introduced himself to Asahi who joined soon after, and to everyone whom he didn’t know beforehand when in the gym. It was like his catch phase.

“You...remind me of one of my teammates. Uh-! Not exactly! He’s more um...rowdy? B-But you said something he always says and-“

Kenma perked up, whipping his head to Hinata with questioning eyes. He, however, noticed his abrupt nature, and looked back down, trying to focus on his phone.

“Um...what position do you play?”

“Setter.”

“Ehhh?! Really? Your waaay different than our setter! our setter is a litt-“

“Does your setter have (H/c) hair? Or is he kind of clingy who likes video games?”

Hinata looked at him with a confused expression. Kenma looked at Hinata with prying eyes that almost seemed desperate. He was clutching his phone in his hands a little too tightly, to the point his knuckles turned white.

After taking Hinatas silence for a ‘no’ he turned his attention back to his phone, with pursed lips and a “...nevermind...”

The conversation they had was pretty tame afterwards, Hinata complaining about how scary his setter is or how it’s odd that he’s short for a middle blocker.

(Y/n) came jogging down the street Hinata took, along with Sugawara trailing behind him. Once (y/n) took sight of the familiar orange tuft of hair, he smiled. However, once he was about to call out his name, he heard a voice and a name he hasn’t heard in forever.

“Kenma!”

(Y/n) looked past Hinata to see a boy with blond hair. It wasn’t the Kenma he knew, his Kenma has black hair, but it could’ve easily been bleached. He looked a little further and locked eyes with someone he sought to destroy from his mind.

Kuroo.

(Y/n) stood there, frozen to his core, before a harsh glare graced the cheery persona he sought to uphold. Kenma stood up and waved a goodbye to his new friend, before jogging up to Kuroo. Kuroo broke into a cold sweat, shoving his hands in his pockets and averting his eyes guiltily.

Sugawara rounded the corner, before his eyes landed on Hinata and (y/n).

“Ah! Hinata!”

Hinata flinched and turned around to see Sugawara, and (y/n), who was clenching his fists with a disgusted look on his face.

“Man, we were looking all over-“

“Who were you talking you, Hinata?”

(Y/n’s) words dripped with venom. He wasn’t one to get angry, but he grew to resent Nekoma as a whole. Not just Kuroo. He hated Nekoma almost as much as he used to hate sports.

“Uh-I made a friend-he says he plays volleyball too-“

“No shit.”

(Y/n) scoffed and walked away, presumably to go back to where everyone was. Suga and Hinata stood there awkwardly.

“What’s wrong with him?”

“I don’t know...we should go back, though.”

The two boys trailed behind (y/n), deciding that he wasn’t in the mood to talk.

[imtrying-butimpissed]

Sick of the fakeass recovery some of y'all keep fronting. Eye rollllll

Be real or get out.

You're clogging up the recovery tag with triggering nonsense and ruining it for everyone else, asshole

[queen-scribbles]

OK so...just for fun I actually just rolled a D10 for each DA:O character prompt set. :-D So, for your Mahariel: 8; for Tabris: 7; for Surana: 7 and for Amell: *also* 7, my die is stuck. For Brosca: 4; for Aeducan: 1; for Cousland: 10. I'm not actually sure if you have one of each (knowing you, I'm assuming yes XD) but if not, questions for those you don't have can carry over to the next closest origin!

Already did all of Tabris and Amell, but you’re right; I do have at least one of each(more like five *cough*), so I’ll do the rest of ‘em.

Did Mahariel join Duncan willingly, or did he have to “drag them kicking and screaming?”

uuuuuh, oh, man, it’s been so long since I played a Mahariel. *sweats* Most of them did go willingly, iirc. At least, as willingly as it can be considered with the whole “We have the only potential cure or you’ll die” on the table

Did Surana favour a particular Fraternity? What did they think about Circle politics in general?

Miri Surana was pretty firmly Aequitarian, though she tended to keep quiet about politics since no one took apprentices all that seriously anyway.

Did Brosca stop to talk with the surface merchant? If so, how did they react to hearing about life above ground? If not, did they have any ideas about what the surface must be like?

Aenya Brosca did stop to talk to the surface merchant. Life above ground was still a surprise to her bc she only half believed he was telling the truth and really, there’s only so much you can do to prepare for sky and stars and rain and grass and all the light.

How did Aeducan get along with their siblings? Their father? Gorim?

Korrin Aeducan was a model daughter who loved her father and did her best to be worthy of his favor. She got along well with both brothers; always supported Triam since he was the eldest and rightful heir etc, listens to Bhelen’s concerns, all of it. She didn’t betray Triam, and Bhelen then betraying her stung bad. She and Gorim were lovers(bc how does a girl resist Steve Blum calling her “my heart”? answer: she doesn’t), but she was happy rather than hurt to see he’d moved on when she found him in Denerim. 

How did Cousland feel about/react to seeing Howe again? About eventually killing him?

Hooo, boy, that’s a good one. Marta manages to keep her composure that first time you run into him in Denerim post-family-slaughter, but she felt like her heart was in a vise and had to go scream into a pillow soon as he left. Killing him was less viscerally satisfying and more justice for her family than anything. Marta’s a tricky one for this, because the man did murder her whole family barring Fergus, but she’s in love with his son(Thomas, not Nathaniel bc complicated is how I rollllll), so she’s this weird ball of emotions and regrets and good-it’s-what-he-deserves. Alistair spent a lot of time giving (friend) hugs and being her grounding person after that dungeon.

[oldmyths]

what’s my favorite gnr songs from uyi1 you ask? Great here we go

just kidding i have no favorites but now i’m thinking about it, and maybe i do. let’s work it out together, shall we?

it goes without god damn saying these albums are masterpieces and if anyone ever dares tellin’ me there’s “too much filler” i’m sorry but i’l have to fill the space you leave behind with someone i can actually talk to.

you cannot talk about use your illusion i without mentioning the intro and outro tracks. because they slap so god damn hard i won’t pick either of them as my favorite, cos then this post would be over and that’s unfair because this album has so many good songs.

uyi1 is full of music you can absolutely thrash to, the kinda music you can tear down your walls with your bare hands. izzy’s lead vocal contributions (dust n’ bones and double talkin’ jive) are, hands down, amazing. my heart boner explodes during dust n’ bones because i’m a gay disaster. my man slash does backing vocals during the penultimate moment in the song and i’ve watched so many live videos of this song Just to hear him. and that solo. jeeesus christ.

is dust n’ bones my favorite song though? nah.

double talkin’ jive is. good. it’s good. i like it. it segues into november rain, which is exactly what i wanna do.

you can’t get any more tragically gay than the music video. just kidding there’s no subtext. it’s not text. there’s nothing. But, when i showed my friend the music video, he was like “wow when slash walks out of that church where axl and st*phanie are getting married it looks kinda gay”

and, yknow what, i was inclined to agree.

slash’s solos fucking dominate my heart, my heart boner, and my ass. i would die for him. is this my favorite song? almost.

did you know guns n’ roses covered the beatles? just kidding they covered wings. live and let die to be precise. and it goes hard. like harder than it has any right to.

if you know me you’d think axl screaming paul mccartney lyrics into the microphone would be my favorite song but you’re wrong!

it’s hard. to like you ain’t the first and back off bitch. for. many reasons that may appear obvious to you. those aren’t my favorite songs either.

i actually preferred this album’s version of don’t cry for a long time. i was wrong. i mean they’re both good but uyi2′s version is so much more tragic and i’m still a 2004 emo in my soul somewhere. not my favorite.

perfect crime is the BEST song to listen to when you’re angry and nothing and everything and you just wanna SCREAM YOU WANNA FUCK WITH ME? DON’T FUCK WITH ME COS I’M WHAT YOU’LL BE, SO DON’T FUCK WITH ME!!!

not. my favorite though. slash really did that solo though, didn’t he.

it’s a! bad obsession! what a good song. i love axl’s like...country. voice. he was born in indiana and you can really hear it when he talks normally. i love him, unfortunately. not my favorite though! too bad!

SPEAKING OF HIS COUNTRY VOICE (quote-unquote) bad apples is out for my heart personally. what a JAZZY TUNE. that BASSLINE. duff sweetie you’re KILLIN IT. also the lyrics make me sad, but i’m also really proud of axl. he did that. good for him. almost my favorite.

i have a complicated relationship with don’t damn me because while it is a Good Song it’s also. not. a good song. contextually. they do nearly name drop the album title though (which they do fully in uyi2, and, thank god bc that shit makes me Die) and while that earns back some brownie points....nope.

dead horse makes me sad but also makes my gay stupid heart soar. axl wrote the guitar chords for the first bit and he played it on stage with slash once and slash leaned over like “here look at my fingers u can do it” and axl smiled like “fuck u i’m doin it right!!” and god i love my parents? i love them.

but i’m also pretty sure that moment was like from the last gnr show that had slash in it so. no dice.

so that just leaves Two songs left, if u didn’t know.

did you know alice cooper features in the garden? that’s cool. i don’t know him but i’ve seen gifs of him talking about john and paul and that’s a rabbit hole i Cannot go down today. back on track. this song is so surreal, if i could have a song describe what it’s like to have one of my dreams, this is probably it. maybe.

is it my favorite though? hm......

LOST IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN SAID WE’RE LOST IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND THERE’S NO ONE’S GONNA BELIEVE THIS BUT WE’RE LOST IN THE GARDEN OF EDENN

THIS FIIRE IS BURNIN AND IT’S OUTTA CONTROL, IT’S NOT A PROBLEM YOU CAN STOP IT’S ROCK AND ROLLLLLL

so that song fucking kills it forever. have you seen the music video? i’m gay. i’m really, really gay. is it my favorite?

do i even Have a favorite uyi1 song? is this post just a disguise for me to type off the anxiety i feel while talking about one of my favorite bands of all time?

well. guess it’ll remain...............................unsolved.

paleo energy balls

These paleo energy balls made with almond butter and dates have saved my life last month while following a strict paleo diet. Not only do they make a great snack (or I’ve even had them at breakfast too) but they have 100% helped satisfy my sweet tooth! They’re free of grains, dairy or refined sweeteners. Plus with the addition of collagen protein, they also have a nice little boost of protein.

Reflecting back on last month, I have to say transitioning to eating paleo for a whole month was both hard and easy at the same time.

Easy Parts of Eating Paleo

The easy part for me was coming up with paleo recipes to make. When you think about it, paleo cooking is as basic as it gets. It’s a lot of simple ingredients (meats, fish, poultry, veggies, fruits, eggs, nuts and seeds.) So dinner often looked something like just tossing a bowl of root veggies with herbs, salt and avocado oil and roasting them. Plus a pan of roasted chicken thighs and a green salad with a paleo friendly dressing. Nothing fancy, but pretty much delicious! I made paleo shepherd’s pie a few times (rave reviews on that) and meatloaf without any breadcrumbs. But what I am saying is, there is no lack of paleo recipes to choose from!

Here are a couple paleo cookbooks I bought and enjoyed last month. (These are affiliate links.)

Also on the easy list was feeling satisfied. I did not have any problems feeling hungry. Using intuitive eating, I was able to listen to my hunger, and eat enough to satisfy. My weight has remained steady. I did find that a bigger than normal breakfast really helped me not turn into an afternoon snack monster. I also found that having a tin of almonds, a banana or some of these paleo energy bites handy was a good way to make sure I had something paleo-friendly if hunger struck when I was out and about.

Challenges of the Paleo Diet

On the “hard” side of the equation, eating paleo meant that I spend more time in the kitchen. On the paleo diet, pretty much everything is made from scratch. And without dairy or grains, I had to spend time making alternatives. For example, when I made cauliflower mashed potatoes, instead of splashing in some yogurt, butter or buttermilk, I had to take the time to make a batch of cashew cream. The difference was subtle, but the number of dirty dishes in the sink don’t lie!

Another challenge while cooking and eating a paleo diet for the month of January, was produce management! This was a bigger issue than I thought it would be. Usually when I plan our meals, we have a protein, a veggie and a grain. But with paleo, we’d have a protein and two veggies. Often more! So we basically had double the veggies on hand at all times. Plus instead of snacking on crackers and such, we filled the counter with fresh fruit. All of that produce takes up a lot of grocery cart and fridge space! That’s not something I could have anticipated and was an eye opener.

Budget wise, I was really worried that paleo was going to be way more expensive than our already high grocery bill, but I found that it actually all worked out. I tried to stick with less expensive cuts of meat (slow cooking roasts and braising meats and ground meats.) The real reason it wasn’t more expensive is because instead of buying expensive convenience breakfasts and snacks, I was making them from scratch. Plus every day, I made two extra servings for dinner so Jase and I had a lunch as well. That means no lunch trips to Panera for Jase, and we stayed on track.

The last thing I would say was satisfying my sweet cravings. I am not a huge sweet person, but after lunch I do like to have a cup of tea and a little something sweet. I found myself digging into the dried fruit on multiple occasions!  That’s how I got turned on to these Paleo Energy Balls. They are naturally sweet and paleo approved because they do not have any refined sugar, dairy or grains.

How to Make Paleo Energy Balls

Dates: I like to use Medjool Dates to make these energy bites. They are very soft so the break into a smoother paste very easily. I find the dates that come pre-chopped and coated in starch are too hard. Plus, I’ve been keeping a package of Medjools on hand for simple snacking anyway. Make sure you keep them in the fridge. They have a higher moisture content and will start to go bad if left at room temperature for a long time.

Remove the papery blossom end of the date if it is still attached. That’s where it was attached to the date palm, and it looks like a little brown disk attached to the flatter end of the date. Then slice lengthwise until your knife hits the pit. Pry the date open and take the pit out. To make sure the dates don’t get stuck in your food processor, cut them into a couple pieces.

Blast the date pieces in the food processor with almond flour and coconut flour. I added these to add bulk to the energy balls. The coconut flour is very absorbent, so make sure you only add 2 tablespoons! The flours will help keep the dates from clumping together too much so you can add the remaining ingredients and they will disperse evenly.

Next add in the almond butter. Look for almond butter that is made with almonds and salt only. The kind with palm shortening is too solid and will result in more dry energy balls.

Along with the almond butter add in maple syrup and collagen protein. Collagen protein is a great way to add a little bit of needed protein to these without altering the texture or flavor. The maple syrup helps the mixture come together. Plus salt which really seals the deal why these are so delicious.

Once the dough is ground up completely evenly, then check it to see if it will come together. Just pinch a little bit and if it comes together as a dough, you’re ready to rock and rollllll. As in roll the date mixture into balls.

To finish them off, I made a combo of sliced almonds, salt and toasted coconut and coated the balls in it. This is not necessary, but I like texture it adds. Note: if the mixture doesn’t stick, you can roll the balls in a tiny bit of maple syrup to first.

How to Store Paleo Energy Snack Balls

To store these snack bites, stack them in a small resealable container.

I like to use glass snap top containers so the food doesn’t come in contact with plastic.

Keep them refrigerated.

They will keep for up to five days. Ours never lasted longer than that because we loved them so much!

Description

These paleo energy balls have saved my life last month while following a strict paleo diet. Not only do they make a great snack (or I’ve even had them at breakfast too) but they have 100% helped satisfy my sweet tooth! They’re free of grains, dairy or refined sweeteners. Plus with the addition of collagen protein, they also have a nice little boost of protein.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cup toasted sliced almonds, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut, toasted

½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided

1 cup medjool dates, pitted and cut into pieces (about 10 dates)

½ cup almond flour

2 tablespoons coconut flour

¼ cup almond butter

2 scoops collagen

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more if necessary

Instructions

Combine sliced almonds, toasted coconut and ¼ teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Set aside.

Place dates, almond flour and coconut flour in a food processor, and pulse to chop. Add almond butter, collagen, maple syrup and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Process, scraping sides as necessary, until the mixture is evenly ground. Check to see if the mixture will come together by squeezing a bit of the dough. If it doesn’t, add one to two more teaspoons maple syrup and pulse again.

Form into 12 balls. Roll balls in the almond and coconut mixture. If mixture doesn’t stick, add first roll the batch of balls in a bowl with a tiny bit of maple syrup to lightly coat them. Then roll in the mixture.

Store in a glass storage container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
