We're probably not gonna meet Vicki before the end of the season and I am pissed about it. I wanted her to be so cute and good girl in appearance but then be the fucking craziest of this crazy family.

Holis. ¿Cómo pronuncias "Chappell Roan"?

pero no voy a mentir y decir que no estuve la mitad del tiempo que la conozco pensando que se pronunciaba sha-PEL 😶.

Don't Let Your Intrusive Thoughts Win Part 3

Pairing: Breanna Stewart x OC!Griffin

Summary: Griffin, the 9th 2024 WNBA draft pick, was an unusual case, coming out of the University of Kentucky. You see, Griffin was short. Not just WNBA short, like short short. Like Griffin was barely 5’2. The Liberty, the team she was drafted to, loved to call her the shortest player of all time, but Griffin loved to 1. Remind them that Shannon Bobbitt was also 5’2 and 2. That she was definitely taller than Shannon. So she was the second shortest WNBA player of all time. The Liberty would roll their eyes at her, basically as one.

Series Masterlist

Griffin knew that it was probably going to be a stupid idea when Sabrina came up with a mischievous smile and a proposition.

That was how Griffin found herself standing on a treadmill, Leonie on one beside her, both sporting nervous grins.

“Okay rookies, the rules are simple. Griffin beat all of us on the last speed drill, including you Leonie so spot laughing, so we’re going to go head to head on a treadmill to see if Griff’s little legs can keep up with our long ones,” Griffin scoffed at the ‘little legs’ comment, but gave Sabrina a nod that she was ready. 

Sabrina, JJ, Sloot, and Nyara were all around the treadmills, excited to see which rookie would be faster.

Betnijah stood a little ways away, leaning on a nearby wall with her eyebrows raised. She didn’t have anything against seeing which rookie was faster, she just could see this getting out of hand quickly.

Sabrina turned both treadmills on and started both rookies at an easy run. Griffin already was taking almost two strides for every one of Leonie’s, the 14 inch height difference making itself apparent even at a slower pace. 

Sabrina slowly began to increase the pace, neither rookie seemed to be struggling with it. Griffin hadn’t even broken a sweat as they sped into a sprint.

Griffin knew she was at a disadvantage back in high school because of how short her legs were, this caused her to throw herself into track and cross country. She had been determined to match the other basketball players in speed and outmatch them in stamina.

This was playing in her favor as Sabrina had turned the treadmills so fast that she was sprinting almost as fast as she could. Griffin was honestly enjoying the little competition when Leonie hit the ‘stop’ button on her treadmill.

“Griff wins that round, I can’t go any faster,” The 6 '4 rookie exclaimed, rubbing her calf.

“My turn then!” Sabrina took Leonie’s place, matching the speed of Griffin’s treadmill.

This is when, as Betnijah had predicted, things got out of hand.

Sabrina and Griffin were running so fast they were past a sprint, both so competitive that they weren’t about to give in while the other was still running. 

Suddenly, Griffin felt her toe catch on the treadmill and just about saw her life flash before her eyes.

She tried to reach her hands out, anything to stop from face planting on the treadmill as she say the moving tread coming to meet her-

Strong hands caught her around the waist and lifted.

Griffin found herself in- aw fuck.

Breanna had, at some point, come in and saw their stupid little contest.

Even worse, she saw Griffin trip.

This is how Griffin found herself being held, bridal style, in Breanna’s arms, looking up at a very unimpressed veteran.

“Seriously, Sab?”

“I just wanted to see how fast she was!”

“You could’ve just raced!”

“Oh”

—

Being from Kentucky, New York was a … massive change in lifestyle. Griffin had lived in Lexington just about her entire life and hadn’t imagined ever leaving until she was drafted. Moving from basically just a small town to the Big Apple? Griffin was still wrapping her head around how different it all was.

One thing was for certain:

The subway terrified her.

Her first time, she got on the wrong train, somehow ended up in Manhattan, got her backpack literally pulled off her shoulders and stolen, and was followed by a creepy man until she gave up and called the most expensive Uber of her life. 

So … Griffin didn’t take the subway anymore.

No one had noticed yet, Griffin was determined to keep it that way because she was sure the other girls would make fun of her.

She had been lucky to find an apartment nearby, well, as nearby as you can be in New York. 

But it only took her about 30 minutes to walk from her apartment to Barclays. Griffin was content with that, although the knowledge that it would only be around a 5-10 minute subway ride did haunt her sometimes.

Anyways, practice ran late. Which was fine, Griffin could handle herself. She just preferred walking home in daylight, not in the dark. Her area wasn’t necessarily dangerous, she was just aware that she probably stuck out like a sore thumb, a walking “I’m from a small town” sign. 

Aka the perfect target to get her backpack stolen … again.

So Griffin was already not hyped about walking home in the dark, then she stepped outside Barclays and was greeted with the biggest storm she had ever seen hit New York. 

The street in front of her was already flooding slightly and she just knew she would be soaked by the time she got home.

This was going to suck.

“Enjoying the rain, rook?” Griffin jumped as Stewie materialized beside her.

“You have GOT to stop doing that! You’re so damn loud, how do you keep sneaking up on me?” Stewie barked out a laugh, thoroughly enjoying how annoyed Griffin was.

“You weren’t paying attention, not my fault rookie,” Stewie looked down the street to the subway entrance.

“You about to leave? We live near each other don’t we? Wanna make a run for the subway?” Griffin froze.

‘Shit, I’m caught’

“Uh, you go ahead Breanna! I’m actually, uh, I gotta, you know, do some stuff?” Griffin choked out, staring directly in front of her, hoping that didn’t sound weird.

…

It sounded weird.

Stewie clocked it, and sent Griffin a confused look.

“You never call me Breanna,” 

‘Well, shit’

“Yeah I do!”

“Rookie…”

“Fine I don’t”

Breanna leaned against the Barclays doors, clocking how uncomfortable Griffin seemed.

“Talk, what’s up rook?” Griffin let out a dramatic groan and turned to lean her forehead against Barclays wall, something that endlessly amused Stewie.

“So, the first time I took the subway I got my backpack stolen, couldn’t figure out the trains, and got followed. So I just, haven’t taken it since,”

Stewie’s eyebrows shot to her hairline.

“You-you got followed and didn’t tell me?”

“Why in the world would I tell you?”

‘Fair point’

“Okay fine, that’s besides the point. Do you have a subway card? You do? Okay then come on, you’re taking it with me. There is no way I’m letting you walk in the rain the entire way home.” Stewie noticed that Griffin was just in her practice shirt and shorts, no rain jacket to be seen.

‘Rookies … never prepared’

“Here, put this on,” Stewie shrugged off her own rain jacket. Before Griffin could protest, she grabbed the back strap of her backpack and lifted it off the shorter girl’s back. She replaced it with her rain jacket and helped Griffin get her arms through. As she put the backpack back on Griffin’s shoulders, she couldn’t help but smirk a little bit.

Why?

Cause Griffin, in all her fiery, sassy, and frankly sometimes scary self, looked like a little kid in Stewie’s rain jacket that just about fell to the smaller girl’s knees.

Not so scary now.

—

Stewie could tell Griffin was nervous.

She had been stiff, back straight as a board as they ran down the steps to the subway. She was constantly reaching back to feel her backpack and looked two minutes away from just taking it off and holding it.

Stewie personally wasn’t a fan of backpacks and kept anything she couldn’t fit in her pockets in her locker at Barclays.

But the girl was going to drive her nuts if she didn’t calm down.

Not acknowledging it, Stewie reached down and lifted the bag off Griffin’s shoulders, swinging it onto her own.

“Stew-”

“Griffin I am 6 ‘4 and have a resting bitch face, no one’s going to steal it from me. You on the other hand, have a ‘I’m scared of everyone here’ face,” Griffin mumbled her thanks and turned her attention back to the train tracks, waiting for the right train. 

Stewie was starting to notice why Griffin felt so uncomfortable, every man that walked near them seemed to leer at the girl. And several were starting to stand too close for Stewie’s comfort.

One walked right up to them and tried to strike up a conversation with Griffin, who went from nervous to terrified as she was trying to be polite to the man.

The correct train pulled up and Stewie decided she was not dealing with the weird man following them. She slung an arm around Griffin’s shoulders and wordlessly led her away from the man and onto the train. 

Luckily, the man made no move to follow them and Stewie relaxed, taking her arm off of Griffin and standing by one of the poles. Griffin, on the other hand, now felt extremely exposed and tried her best to scoot next to Stewie without making it … too obvious.

It was quite obvious.

As the subway began to move, Stewie reached one hand up to hold the pole. She reached the other out to grab Griffin’s shoulder and move her between Stewie’s body and the pole, effectively sandwiching her.

Griffin decided to not think about how safe she felt, being that close to Stewie, and settled for grabbing the pole as well.

“Thank you, Stewie,” She said in a quiet voice, looking up at the woman above her.

Stewie sent her a soft smile, one Griffin hadn’t ever seen her use before.

“Don’t mention it, rook,”

Azure's Corner

Democrat Governors are coming out with the same line, "... we'll fight their hateful agenda."

Let's be clear on this, shall we? The Democrats are the only ones running around calling Republicans Hitlers. Which in so doing, have undermined their own arguments. They are the ones who specifically, as Kamala stated she would have if elected, implemented Draconian laws in support of liberalized authoritarianism.

In California, your rights as a parent belong to the State of California. Your child when in school and with a mental illness, can be abused by the State, manipulated by the State, chemically castrated and surgically mutilated by the State: Without your consent. Should you find out and oppose it, your child can be confiscated by the State and you can be imprisoned.

California isn't a Republican state.

Any Democrat Governor coming out claiming that the Trump Administration is going to be this vile and evil thing coming after people, let's just look at how Kamala was going to implement price control on everything. The Government, specifically only the President, would be able to dictate what prices were on everything. From food to appliances, and Biden was already laying the foundation for it by banning consumers from purchasing certain appliances. If you bought a gas stove, for instance, you could wind up fined and potentially imprisoned.

This wasn't a Republican President saying these things, these were Democrats running for and already was President.

Imagine Kamala jacking up the prices on certain affordable in-window portable air conditioners from a hundred bucks to a thousand bucks. Your only option is a swamp cooler that costs half that much. You are poor and live in a hot part of the country.

What then, fans?

So when people like myself called Kamala a Communist; it wasn't vilification or demonization. It was because she fucking is one. Her father is one. Her mentor, advisor, and financial backer George Soros is one. She speaks at secretive Communist gatherings in Palm Springs hosted by Soros. She's so close to him, his son visited her repeatedly last year more times than anyone else to provide "advice."

Who was running the show while Biden drooled?

The very people from Newsome to Walz, Hochul included, all are either delusional or they're lying to you. Hochul was buddy buddy with a Chinese Foreign Agent working for her as her assistant. You can't tell me she didn't know her assistant was a spy for China, altering documents and bribing or coercing New York officials into doing her bidding while also manipulating Hochul.

Don't believe me yet?

From every BLUE State, there's a list of spies operating for China within the United States. Their associations with the governments of California, Chicago, New York, and perhaps others are well documented.

But this isn't just about that as a standing platform as to why the Democrats have been operating what really looked like and sounded like Communism. It's also that they had turned a blind eye to real Nazi fascism in the form of ACAB, the purported Antifa groups operating throughout the United States. Where did they go this election? Why aren't they rioting like they did when Trump first won?

It's easy: The Democrats were so proud and felt they held the reigns on you as a citizen, that they didn't manipulate the narrative or perhaps they realized they were being manipulated.

It appears very soundly that the Democrats intentionally sabotaged their own campaign, but they didn't. It was hubris. It was relying on demonization of Republicans and insulting Americans for voting Republican. Every pundit on The View is demonizing and spouting racist hatred on national television against any person of color who voted for Trump.

I thought liberals loved people of color and that they weren't racist?

Sunni claims her daughter has less rights and that she's part of the working class, that she has less rights. This is untrue. The rights not held by the Federal Government rest in the States or the Citizen. Everything she's saying is wholly wrong. She's also not a working class person when she makes millions per year.

Whoopi makes a baseless claim that many people she knows died trying to vote. No one died trying to vote in 2024. I mean, unless you count the 16 million missing voters from 2020...

Furthermore, Whoopi goes on to iterate that Trump's rhetoric is synonymous with the racist words that Biden himself espoused 50 to 70 years ago!

However, they stick to the guns that Trump said he'd be a dictator on day one, out of context. He was making a joke. If you watch what he said, he was joking because he iterated that. The news ran with it out of context and these idiots believe it.

Here's the real take on Biden, so why weren't liberalized woke Democrats having the same reaction?

It's because they're the white wealthy of the nation seeking to eek out their slice of the elitist pie when America turns Communist through their policies. Just like what happened in Russia when it became the Soviet Union under Stalin, as China did under Mao, and just like Russia is becoming today under Putin.

Listen to this racist ass breakdown of the demographics of the election:

"Hispanic voters think like, well, any other voters."

The fuck do you mean by that? Is it a presumption that Hispanic voters don't think like other voters or just that they don't think? Then you get these white folks making the assumptive statement that they're surprised that Hispanics don't vote Democrat, that only 'a few' or 'some' are Republican. That white bitch then tries to placate her comment by stating they'd vote conservative, implying their religious views to which the one Hispanic woman on the show corrects her that there's a spectrum of views in the Hispanic community.

Then they make this comment that 70% of white women voting for Trump are uneducated. Then she makes the allegation that Latino men are what? Misogynistic. She doesn't say it, but her implication of it. The call out that what she was implying was the actual problem.

Duh.

So this is the truth. The Democrats really pushed this Nation to a breaking point by demonization and ignoring how racist they actually are.

The real threat to this country are those Democrats who are life-long senate and representatives, or operatives seeking to obtain as much power as possible because they believe that people of color are dumb and need the Government to manage their lives.

Yeah...

Reasons why I love it: This one is so criminally underrated, it makes me want to cry. Not only does Aeraneth absolutely nail the tone, they also used a really cool format wherein the story is told backwards, kind of Memento-style. It works beautifully, and the plot along with the Stony in it is just absolutely delicious. Definitely a must-read if you like angsty fics with a happy ending!

It's so hot in New York that the bridges stopped working. Well, one bridge anyway.

The Third Avenue Bridge connecting the Bronx and Manhattan closed Monday afternoon as city agencies rushed to cool it down.

That's right, cool it down. According to officials, the bridge got stuck in the open position due to heat expansion of the steel.
