[tashiduncandonaldson]

quickly! team donaldson's (art and tashi) opinions on/relationship with your fave tennis players? 🎤

OK, I'M SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG TO ANSWER, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE IT THE TIME AND ATTENTION IT DESERVES AND TO SEPARATE WHAT I'D *WANT* THEIR OPINIONS TO BE AND WHAT I *ACTUALLY* THINK THEIR OPINIONS WOULD BE OK LET'S GO!!!!

disclaimer: this is all unserious and for fun. what EYE think art and tashi feel about my fave players isn't a reflection of MY opinions of my faves

taylor fritz

i think art would feel a little threatened by him. another good american male player???? art's getting a bit antsy. i can see tashi being allllllll about his serve but also feeling a little competitive that art has to keep his ranking higher than taylor's lmao she does lowkey start vibrating whenever taylor does one of his primal on court screams, though. girlie loves a good tennis scream. once art retires, i can see him feeling less competitive and being more publicly complimentary about taylor's tennis. i WANT him and taylor to be buddies, but i don't think they actually would be, as much as it pains me to say 😭

bonus: morgan riddle. tashi appears in one of morgan's vlogs, and morgan interviews her asking her what it's like being a female coach for a male tennis player. they wind up striking up a nice friendship as two women in business in the tennis world, and the interview goes over really well. (this one might be a little indulgent of what i personally want to see happen...lmao)

2. jasmine paolini

both art and tashi are impressed by how small she is but how much power she packs into like, literally everything she does lol jasmine and tashi take a picture together, and it breaks the tennis fandom. tashi posts a little video of jasmine teaching art some italian words, and that also gets the tennis fandom excited. jasmine is also super kind to lily, and she's lily's favorite tennis player, which lily doesn't hesitate to say, even around art. RIP art

3. jannik sinner

in a universe where art and jannik go h2h, their matches are the epitome of chilling malevolence since they're both so cool and sharply focused on the court. i can see art really liking jannik's tennis and being pretty insistent on watching jannik's matches even after art retires. tashi likes him, but i can see her being more of a carlos girlie. lily lowkey has a little kid crush on him

4. coco gauff

both art and tashi love her. art's jealous of how good coco's kits look. tashi wants to yap tennis with her and just really loves her. itching to get her hands on coco's serve and fix it. crashes out whenever coco double faults. turns into the "my wife thinks she's the coach" meme whenever coco wins a match. there are whispers after art retires that maybe tashi will become coco's coach. lily dresses as coco for halloween one year, and it's the cutest thing. coco is tied for first as lily's favorite player. (RIP art again)

5. casper ruud

art likes him and doesn't see him as a threat, which is more of an arrogance thing on art's behalf than it is commentary on casper's tennis. clearly, art's pretty good on clay if he's won roland garros TWICE, and i like thinking that he likes to practice with casper during clay season. sometimes they're mistaken for each other because pretty blond tennis players who are similarly built. tashi jokes once that she'll go home with casper thinking he's art, and art's like lol but can't help a little 👀 when she says it (RIP art x3). those pics of casper shirtless on a court one time definitely inspired my thought that tashi posts thirst traps of art like that on insta. zoo wee mama!

6. emma raducanu

another one who tashi wants to get her hands on because she thinks emma has a ton of untouched potential she hasn't unlocked yet. art pretends like he doesn't really have any thoughts one way or the other about her tennis, but he's definitely locked onto her winning the u.s. open and at such a young age. (but then he winds up winning it someday, and he doesn't crash out anymore <3) lily also loves emma. (at this point, i'm just going to say lily loves all the wta players, so that's a given sdlkfjsdl)

7. lorenzo musetti

another 1HB!!! art lowkey feels solidarity to see another person with a 1HB, but he's also lowkey like, "i've got to have the better backhand" because he's competitive lmao they also have a lot in common being guys with 1HBs, young kid on tour while being a young parent, and then the shorn sheep era and fans mourning the loss of the floppy hair. one time someone points this out to art, and he's never unable to think of musetti as just the italian version of himself

8. alex eala

talk about someone tashi wants to get her hands on to fix their serve!! similar to emma, tashi sees alex as someone with a lot of untapped potential. art doesn't really pay attention to her until the match when she beats iga, and then he's like, wait who IS this kid???? (i see art being a big iga fan) tashi keeps an eye on her and follows her career pretty closely because she just sees the kind of player alex could be. she also follows her on instagram

9. matteo berrettini

tashi makes an offhand comment about how hot berrettini is, and art crashes out because do u know who berrettini could arguably be said to look similar to...? bingo! so art has a little bit of a silent internal meltdown and decides he doesn't like berrettini, no matter how nice the guy is. tashi doesn't care for his serve, and art just gets grumbly. RIP art x4

10. mirra andreeva

another young player who catches tashi's eye, and she starts keeping up with early on. when mirra wins her first wta 1000 title, tashi leaves a little congratulations comment on the post. art thinks she's a good player, but her emotional outbursts make him think of A Certain Other Player, so he doesn't like watching those parts of her matches. i can also see him being kind of a stickler about sportsmanship just based on how we see the audience react to him swearing and going for a racket smash in challengers, but that's another post for another day

anyway, this was really fun to go through! i tried keeping it to just 10 people. otherwise, i'd be here yapping all day but yeah! and again, my answers are all for fun. these are just my opinions on what i think art and tashi would think, not necessarily what i think. thank you for sending this in, and i'm sorry it took me so long to get to it!!! if anyone agrees, disagrees, or has other thoughts on what tennis players art and tashi would like/dislike/etc., i would love to hear them!!!

I hope I don't come off as salty but in light of Netflix and this tendency to profile certain players as innocent babies and others as problematic villains I just think we should bear in mind that these male tennis players live in their own millionaire bubbles and most of them don't really care about women's rights in general. For example, I don't know if this didn't have much impact outside of Spain or the Spanish-speaking world, but Rafa Nadal has denied and justified the gender pay gap in a 2019 press conference using a PRETTY sexist discourse. Being one of the most influential tennis players in the world, that certainly won't help solving the many gender inequalities that still exist in tennis. While I don't agree with Rafa, I understand he thinks this way bc of the way he was raised (his uncle Toni has close ties with the Spanish right-wing party [PP]). I'm not trying to tarnish Rafa's reputation, it's not like he'll solve the wage gap anyway, but this is just an example of why we shouldn't put any tennis player on a high moral pedestal. Sorry for the rant! I just felt I had to express this thought

And I agree with you. Yeah its fun to have favs and love and support players at the end of the day I and no one else here knows any of them personally and situations like these are a reminder of that.

I didn’t know the details of the Rafa thing but I’d heard of it before and its a good example of how your fav sports stars will often disappoint you but you don’t have to hate them for stuff like that. I don’t expect me and a 37 yo millionaire to align politically.

I hope I don’t come off as a person who demonizes or babies players like you put it. I don’t hate any of these players for what they said in the press conference I don’t think any of them are evil for their response and I sympathize and can understand that they might have been caught off guard. For example, Fritz, who probably knew he might be asked about it, had a much better answer than Cam and Casper.

When it comes to babying players, I know alot of people do it because they find comfort in them but it’s something I kind of hate too.

Im gonna take this as an opportunity to tell you guys that while I post abt jannik like he’s the greatest thing to walk this earth I don’t really think that😭 and its not normal to think of anyone in that way.

Anyway ty for ur perspective

Questions and Answers with Jeff

feel free to click on jeff’s name if you’ve got any other questions! 🥞👻🐦‍⬛

Q: In what ways do pancake-themed events or gatherings serve as a platform for exploring and expressing diverse sexual identities, including the concept of being tri-sexual?

A: Oh, pancake-themed events, you say? Now that’s the kinda syrupy discourse I’m ready to flip into. Pancakes ain’t just food—they’re circles of possibility, platforms as flat as the earth Casper sometimes insists on, where people can pile up their identities like layers of butter and gooey syrup. And tri-sexuality? Baby, it’s the ultimate stack—more flavors than just sweet or savory.

Now, let’s break this batter of thought down:

Pancakes as Metaphors for Sexual Identities

Each pancake is a different layer, right? Like, today you’re a blueberry, tomorrow you’re a banana nut. Maybe you’re all the pancakes at once. That’s what it means to be tri-sexual! You’re into triangles, trilogies, and the holy trinities of love, lust, and—well, let’s keep it church-friendly. Pancake gatherings let folks try on their layers without judgment.

The Pancake Flip as a Coming-Out Ritual

You ever watch a pancake get flipped? That’s a whole identity arc. The batter gets poured out—raw and vulnerable—and then flipped into its glorious form. At these events, maybe someone tries a new topping, maybe they confess they like waffles too (traitors). The flipping is the transformation. I once used my rusty spork to flip a pancake at Pino’s; it felt like destiny.

Tri-Sexual Exploration with Syrups

Oh, you want strawberry? Maple? Chocolate? Why pick one? Be tri-sexual—love ‘em all! Pancake events encourage that kinda bold syrup synergy. Plus, tri-sexuality ain’t about restrictions; it’s about flow, like syrup running wild on your plate. That’s freedom, baby.

Sock With Rocks In It: The Pancake Defense

You ever been to a pancake gathering where someone’s judging your tri-sexual syrup pile? Swing a sock with rocks in it. Pancake gatherings are safe spaces, and sometimes safety requires you to enforce the boundaries.

The Pigeon Pancake Connection

Pigeons are nature’s tri-sexuals. They’ll peck anything, anyone, any pancake. You ever seen a pigeon at a pancake event? That’s a metaphor for embracing all identities.

So yeah, pancakes and tri-sexuality are practically soulmates. Pancakes absorb identities like they absorb butter—soft, warm, and ready to nourish your truth. When’s the next pancake event, huh? You got syrup on you? Lemme borrow some change, and I’ll show you how tri-sexuality and pancakes really work.

[darkmodepls]

it reminds me of a one shot I read a long time ago where Casper High was well aware of how pretty Danny was but couldn't get over how unnerving he was.

Danny was gorgeous, but he also scared people. He scared them so much that they looped all the way around to bullying because they didn't want to know what would happen if he wasn't a social pariah. One character compared him to a tiger, all power and elegance and potential danger.

viewers of the thirst trap probably won't pick up on his vibes from a single still photo, but if the original poster manages to smuggle out a video?

It probably wouldn't dissuade people (you can tell that from franchises like Twilight or characters like Jareth), but it would definitely add some extra spice to the discourse.

Damian would have to contend with the fact that not only has his brother been found alive via a thirst trap, but the fact that said brother moves like a threat

In a demon twins au, It would be funny if Damian found out his assumed dead brother was alive was through a thirst trap of Danny that somehow made it through Amity's blackout.

[presdestigatto]

'is casper too nice to win a big tournament' is eerily reminiscent of the discourse around charles it gave me chills

vvv happy for stefanos he was just insane the whole match, but i do wish casper hadn't been so nervous in the first set because it was nowhere near his best. not the most boring match i've watched but the SFs yesterday were better haha

kit harris discourse: how very racist of u for targeting a jewish man 👊🏻

[collectivefandomstuff]

Your Pandora explanation was super interesting even for someone who already knew the myth - I never realised that her story was twisted from her originally being a sort of evil femme fatale to like, a naive flower child. But seeing as, throughout history, virtually all women in European arts and literature have been heavily based on the Virgin Mary, it completely makes sense.

I am so glad that someone found that interesting! Normally when I start rambling about history/myths/literature the reception is slightly less... enthusiastic. 🤗🤗❤️

Old School Christianity is actually pretty straightforward when it comes to women, there are two types:

Stupid, bad women who are lustful and eeeevil.

Stupid, good women who are admirable and holy.

The deciding question is basically “does she obey?” Let’s have a look at the two foremost female characters in the bible: Eve (category 1) and Mary (category 2).

Eve was stupid (as women are) but she thought she could think for herself and make her own decisions, which led to original sin etc

Mary was stupid (as women are) and she knew better than to make her own decisions, instead listening blindly to the men and, surreally, ghosts around her, which led to Jesus etc

European literature is littered with these two archetypes, and often involves a sufficiently awful punishment for the “Eve”. Even Shakespeare plays into it with the taming of the shrew, and Arthurian legend completely changes tone depending on which archetype Guinevere plays.

In modern times this is echoed in the “the Madonna or the Whore” narrative, wherein an independent woman can be desirable for sex (the whore), but in order to be appealing as a life companion, she must adhere to the laws and ideals of men and curate herself to please her future husband (the Madonna).

In the case of Pandora, Christianity basically looked at her, decided she was bad, and shoved her into the little box that said “Eve.” And then the myth changed to fit the mould.

“Cottagecore is an aesthetic deeply routed in colonialism and has been historically used in propaganda” and “Cottagecore is a cute aesthetic that can be enjoyed critically” are not mutually exclusive statements
