In Another Fantasy (A Fantasy AU Collab)

Close your eyes and imagine your favorite fantasy universe, TV show, movie, anime, or otherwise. Did you do that? Good, how did that make you feel? Special? I bet it did. Now, imagine that you're there with your favorite anime character, and you could do, just about anything, from making potions in Hogwarts to walking along the streets of the Upper East Side, to traveling in a time machine that camouflages as a police box, to kissing Zuko in the fire nation, having sex in that secret sex cave where Jon Snow lost his virginity to Ygritte. Well, this collab is especially for you. <33

To celebrate 100+ followers for my NSFW side blog (and 250+ on my main, thank you all so so so much btw), I thought of coming up with a collab that would enable us, writers and artists, to showcase our love for our anime characters but in different universes. It's an NSFW Multifandom Fantasy AU Collab, where the reader and/or the anime character(s) of your choosing must be in an alternate universe. (Eg: Time Lord!Tetsuro Kuroo, Wizard!Kento Nanami, Khaleesi!Mikasa Ackerman, Dr. Strange!Satoru Gojo, and so on)

Fandoms I accept for this collab: Haikyuu, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Tokyo Revengers, SPY x FAMILY, Hunter x Hunter, Kuroko No Basket, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Naruto, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Obey Me, Genshin Impact, Black Clover

Alternate Universes (for ideas): Any TV Shows (Gossip Girl, Bridgerton, Stranger Things), Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Avatar the Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, The Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, any of the Studio Ghibli movies, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, AND one anime character in another anime (Gojo in HxH or Itadori in KNB, etc) or one game character in anime (Leviathan in Black Clover, for etc). Feel free to brainstorm with me <33

Due date: November 23, 2023 (Doctor Who's 60th anniversary <3) (in case you want to submit it later, I don't mind at all :D)

Rules (under the cut)

-> As it is a NSFW collab, all genres are allowed, INCLUDING dark content. That being said, minors, please please please DNI with this collab.

-> You don't have to be following me for this collab, but it's preferable (since it's a follower celebration collab), and I'd appreciate it if you don't unfollow me after everyone's posted <3

-> You can club your entry for this collab with other collabs as well <3

-> I accept character x reader, character x character, poly ships, love triangles, crossover ships (anime crossovers) , heck even selfships :D

-> All forms of writing are allowed (drabbles, fics, oneshots, headcanons, moodboards, etc)

-> No limit to word count, however, please do include a read more if your fic is 500+ words to avoid clogging the dashboard.

-> Multiple repeats of characters are possible, however, if they're repeated 4 times, then I'm locking them.

-> Exceptions: Tetsuro Kuroo (4 more slots open for him, but not Doctor Who!Kuroo), Ken Ryuguji ‘Draken’ (3 more slots open for Draken but not Divergent AU Draken or Hunger Games Draken) and Mitsuya (4 more slots open for him but not Hunger Games Mitsuya)

-> While the repetition of a character is allowed, it MUST be with a different au/role (Eg, once Doctor Strange!Satoru Gojo is locked, another entry on Doctor Strange!Satoru Gojo would not be accepted). Variety matters!

-> If you're including multiple characters in one story, the characters' entries are counted (love triangles especially)

-> When your entry is accepted, please reblog this post as much as you can. When you’re done, please tag me at @/musings-and-moans and use the following hashtag: #🧙‍♀️.inanotherfantasycollab for a guaranteed reblog :D and please don’t forget to attach a link to the master list. If you’re the first to write for any fandom that’s not listed, I’ll add that accordingly.

How to join:

-> Please send me your application requests for the collab through asks and not private DMs, and do specify if it’s a write-up or artwork, and please be respectful in your asks.

-> I will also allow changes if necessary (change of character/sport, dropping from the collab). So, you can send me an ask or DM me (only if we're server moots) if you want to drop out or change anything in your collab entry.

-> Do specify if it will be a writeup or an artwork, sfw, nsfw, angst or dc. (it can be nsfw and dc or sfw and angst, etc)

Format: [Role] Character x [Role] Reader by @[url] (SFW/NSFW/DC/Angst)

Spoiler free list of reactions I had watching Last Night in Soho:

Light switch switching off looking awesome? normal things looking cool? yeah, this definitely is an Edgar Wright film.

Thunderball!

It’s Phillippa Collins-Davidson from Endeavour series 2 episode 2, Nocturne (Anya Taylor-Joy). She’s grown up from Blythe Mount....no wait that episode takes place in 1966.

....Has my embarrassing preteen/ teenage crush on Matt Smith come back?

This dance scene is great!

...Why am I getting eleventh Doctor vibes from this scene? Come back for the 60th please!

Puppet on a string.... wait, thanks to Endeavour series 3, I know that came out in 1967 and this film is apparently set in 1965 because Thunderball... eh I’m not going to question it.

God this film soundtrack is awesome!

The mirror acting in this is brilliant!

The lighting, oh my god the lighting is so cool!

THE EDITING OF THIS FILM!!!!

I think I love this film!

I recognise that street...Why am I now expecting the Bentley to show up?!

This is tragic!

....I need a wee, but it’s too good to miss!

A lot of bad stuff happens in Soho.

Best horror film!!

Okay scrap just best horror film, this is the BEST FILM I’ve seen all year! and I’ve seen No Time To Die!

Spoiler reactions I had during the film:

‘For Diana’ -don’t make me sad! I forgot a legend was in this film! It’s her final role too!

God Jocasta is a b*tch. Don’t fake a suicide sob story! I dislike you so much!

Oh my god, James and Oliver Phelps!!!! Okay yes they played your favourite Harry Potter characters, but stop bloody grinning!!!

Aww the Phelps twins aren’t in there more, but still neat cameo, you’d barely know it’s both of them there, if you didn’t google which one was in it like I did!

Creepy old dude? Yeah...they’re making him out to be the villain but he’s not going to be the villain. It’s too obvious.

I like John, he believes Ellie, and he’s so nice he’s the kind of guy I want in my life!...he’s going to die isn’t he?

Where’s Finnick? O’Dair he his!

*whilst Ellie is in the library* Yeah... Diana Rigg is Sandy, isn’t she? She’s the only other character with a surname we know beyond Ellie and we don’t know her first name and it’s Diana Rigg, an absolute legend in her last film, she’s got to be important.

Yeah that creepy old guy isn’t Jack is he?

Oh my god, watch the car....wait THAT WAS FORESHADOWED IN THEIR FIRST INTERACTION! Edgar Wright, king of foreshadowing in films!

Nope he’s not Jack!

Oh sh*t!

I was right!

Yeah I’ve watched to much detective fiction....

No John!!!

Okay this is f*cking creepy!

No don’t kill Sandy! She needs to go to prison!

I mean those f*ckers deserved what they got but still.

Heck yeah!

Okay, that was a pretty awesome line, even from a dead arsehole.

Why are you sympathetic towards her, she’s a serial killer?!

Eh okay let her die, she’ll probably go to hell with her victims.

...what happened to Jocasta? she got almost stabbed, and is never seen again, presumably she quit fashion school? If so, good riddance!

Yes! They all got their happy endings! Technically.

1stweek of August 2022

 

The Lord taughtme how to slow down. Take things easy and focus more on being gentle.

This week Iwas very productive.

 

·        Atwork, I was able to finish my assigned tasks, not most of it but almost. Stayingfocus. Celebrating small wins.

·        I wasalso able to work out for 15 mins the whole week and got a rest day on Thursday.Staying consistent.

·        Iwas able to remain calm around Mommy and being mindful of my response.

·        Monday?I cannot remember what I did this day. Aside from working out, doing somelaundry? Killed time with social media which I really hate.

·        Tuesday?We have Resourcing meeting with the team, feeling so down because of the passingof Sir Mark.

·        Didsome grocery run. At Market-market.

·        Didsome chest xray.

·        Thursday,we were able to accompany Nanay to her last chemotherapy. We’re a bit late butall went well. Super productive at the hospital, did drug testing which is a requirementin TGP.

·        Friday,finish some of my tasks. It’s a bit rainy. Accomplished barangay clearance, andNanay’s filgrastim shot.

·        Saturday.Clean the house. Clean the bathroom, do some folding of clothes, arrange my clothesat the cabinet, letting go of some small stuff and papers at the cabinet. Cleanthe bar counter, clean the pantry cabinet. Swept the floor, Cooked good food. Iam so tired this day. Thank love for the good back massage.

·        Sunday,did online worship service. Run for 15 mins, clean the fridge, bought some fruitsand veggies outside the village. Mayordo Family come over for lunch. We havesome movies and discussions about Mommy and Daddy’s 60th birthday.

·        At night,we watched, Wolf of the Wall Street by Leonardo DiCaprio. He is a legend, a verygood actor. Moral of the movie, stay focus and persistent in your goals in lifebut remain humble and grounded. Pleasures in life will cost you a lot but ifyou have Jesus in your life, it makes the difference. Contentment and appreciationis the key.

·        Do not rule someone out because of past issues. Despite past misconduct or lack of experience, helooked at personality and work ethic when making decisions.

·        Be careful about what you are sacrificing for money or success. It can be tempting to make bad decisions for instant gratification

THE TUTORIAL IS TOO HARD

THE TUTORIAL IS TOO HARD

https://novelvip.net/the-tutorial-is-too-hard

On a normal boring day, a message appears, inviting him to a Tutorial. A tale about Lee Ho Jae and his escape from the Tutorial. But he just happened to choose the hardest possible difficulty: Hell.

THE TUTORIAL IS TOO HARD Chapter 1

Life is a series of choices.

A phrase I once read in 3rd year of highschool.

Life truly is a series of choices.

But what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?

That phrase hasn’t helped in any way for me to make better decisions on improving my life.

When I told that to my friend, my friend replied.

THE TUTORIAL IS TOO HARD Chapter 2

“I-can’t stand it anymore~ Ooh ooh ooh~” Before being summoned to the Tutorial world, I was walking through the residential district on the 60th floor singing a song that I heard from a movie. It seemed like a sweet and romantic song in the movie, but when I sang it it sounded more like an elegy. Anyone listening would have told me to stop singing at once. Truth is i’m tone deaf and beat deaf as well.

But I didn’t stop. I’m the only one here anyway. The empty streets and the empty buildings reminded of the movie starring Will Smith, ‘I am Legend’.

60th Street Legend

🏁💙

[saxafimedianetwork]

We unearth little-known tidbits of information about the King of Pop Michael Jackson’s life, on what would have been his 60th birthday

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

1. He was born in Gary, Indiana. He remains the city’s most famous resident, with Gary never recovering from the loss of its factory industry in the 1960s. That said, it’s also home to Jesse Powell, Kym Mazelle and Sista Monica Parker.

2. His parents had musical ambitions of their own. Mother Katherine Jackson played the clarinet and piano, and aspired to be a country and western singer. Father Joe was a guitarist and made extra cash performing in local R’n’B bands.

3. His first public performance was in 1963. When he was 5 he sang Shirley Bassey’s Climb Ev’ry Mountain at a public event organized by Garnett Elementary School’s Kindergarten.

4. His father was the first to notice the talent in his children. He would invite music executives to the family home, where The Jacksons would audition in the living room.

5. James Brown was his major inspiration. The late Godfather of Soul inspired Jackson to hit the stage. Speaking at his public funeral in 2007, Jackson recalled how, “Ever since I was a small child, no more than like 6 years old, my mother would wake me no matter what time it was, if I was sleeping, no matter what I was doing, to watch the television to see the master at work.”

6. He made his recording debut at 9 years old. It was on Big Boy by The Jackson 5, which was released by a small label in January 1968. It didn’t sell in large numbers, but it was enough to notify the major labels that these kids had talent.

7. His love for books began as a young teen. His early favorites were Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. He reportedly amassed a library of more than 10,000 books.

8. His relationship with his sister La Toya was based on their love of practical jokes. His favorite was tormenting her with fake spiders and tarantulas. He would place a suspect creature on the phone in La Toya’s bedroom and would then call her and wait for her scream.

9. He began touring as an 8-year-old. As part of the first run of shows in America’s Midwest, The Jackson 5 supported soul legends Etta James, Gladys Knight and Sam & Dave.

10. He was never particularly fond of his voice during early recordings with The Jackson 5. Despite the acclaim, he would often lament the high pitch of his voice in later interviews, describing it as similar to that of Minnie Mouse.

11. It could have been The Jackson 6. Nearly 18 months before he was born, his mother gave birth to a set of twins, Marlon and Brandon. As a result of a severely premature pregnancy, Marlon survived but Brandon passed away 24 hours later.

12. Berry Gordy initially wasn’t a fan of Michael and his brothers. The star-maker and head of Motown Records dismissed the idea of signing them to his label, preferring to focus on Stevie Wonder. But he was eventually convinced to give them a shot and he signed them up in 1969.

13. You may not know her name, but Suzanne de Passe had a big role in his artistic development. She was assigned as a mentor and stylist to The Jackson 5 after they joined Motown. That relationship extended to Michael’s solo career, and she was the first one to see him rehearse the iconic dance The Moonwalk in 1983.

14. The Jackson 5’s global hit I Want You Back in 1969, was originally written for Gladys Knight and The Pips and Diana Ross. What’s unusual about the song is that the lovelorn lyrics are sung by Michael, who was barely in his teens at the time.

15. ABC is the first of Jackson’s songs that 50 Cent recalls hearing. Speaking to NME in 2015, the rapper said the track was responsible for him becoming a fan. “I’ve always loved MJ, so I guess it was probably a good place to start music: right here, with the ABCs.”

16. He broke barriers from a young age. When he was a 12-year-old with The Jackson 5, the group became the first black male group to release four back-to-back chart-toppers with 1969’s I Want You Back and 1970’s ABC, The Love You Save and I’ll Be There.

17. There was solo life before Off the Wall. For many, Michael arrived with 1979’s Off the Wall, but he released his debut solo album, Got to Be There, in 1972. It was a solid collection of soul and pop, with covers of Leon Ware’s I Wanna Be Where You Are and Bill Withers’s Ain’t no Sunshine.

18. He won his first and only Golden Globe in 1972. For Ben, a song he wrote for the 1972 horror film of the same name.

19. He always had his ear to the clubs. Jackson was a frequent visitor to the legendary New York City club Studio 54, where he was exposed to beat-boxing, which was an early harbinger to the upcoming hip-hop movement. He went on to incorporate the vocal technique into many of his future songs.

20. His first venture into film was The Wiz. He starred as a scarecrow in the title role of The Wiz, an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. The film was horrible, but it was here he struck up a life-changing partnership with Quincy Jones, who went on to produce his biggest albums.

21. Quincy Jones nicknamed him “Smelly”. This was during their time on The Wiz. “I used to call Michael ‘Smelly’, because he wouldn’t say ‘funky’. He’d say ‘smelly jelly’.”

22. He broke his nose in 1979 during dance practice. He then consulted Hollywood favorite Dr Steven Hoefflin who reportedly performed Jackson’s first rhinoplasty.

23. He only worked with the best. In addition to enlisting Jones to produce the 1979 blockbuster album Off the Wall, the songwriters who helped him on the record included none other than Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.

24. Unlike many of his peers, Jackson hated singing from a sheet. While recording Off the Wall, he spent the evenings learning lyrics and harmonies, and would arrive at the studio the next day singing them off by heart.

25. Prince visited him during the Off the Wall sessions. Speaking to The National, Quincy Jones recalled how Prince arrived “into the studio like a deer in the headlight – clothes and shirt off – but he was always competing with Michael”.

26. He was the only musical mind behind one of his biggest hits. Off the Wall was full of songwriting collaborations, but Jackson was solely responsible for one of its biggest tracks, Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough. He decided to write the song after constantly humming the melody at home.

27. The change on 1979 single Rock with You. It was originally called I Want to Eat You Up, but that was deemed too risque for Jackson’s heartthrob image.

28. Off the Wall was almost a hit for Karen Carpenter. The hit title track from Off the Wall was originally written for the late Karen Carpenter’s debut solo album. She declined to use it and Jackson made it a top 10 hit instead.

29. The tears in She’s Out of My Life are real. Jackson would break down in tears at the end of each studio take. “We recorded about – I don’t know – 8 to 11 takes, and every one at the end, he just cried,” producer Quincy Jones said. “I said, ‘Hey – that’s supposed to be, leave it on there.’”

30. Jackson surrounded himself with talent in both the studio and the boardroom. With Off the Wall he secured the game-changing royalty rate of 37 cents wholesale per sale. It went on to sell more than 20 million copies.

31. Thriller was a blockbuster fueled by frustration. Despite big sales and critical acclaim, he was irked that Off The Wall didn’t win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. “It was totally unfair that it didn’t get Record of the Year and it can never happen again,” he told manager John Branca. Thriller went on to win a record-breaking eight Grammys in 1984.

32. Billie Jean doesn’t exist. Despite being the subject of one of his biggest hits, the woman – who in the 1983 song admits she is carrying Jackson’s unborn son – is pure fiction. “The girl in the song is a composite of people my brothers have been plagued with over the years,” Jackson wrote in his memoir Moonwalker.

33. Billie Jean was the first video by an African-American artist to air on MTV. The video revealed Jackson’s new look of a leather suit, pink shirt, red bow tie and his signature single white glove. It was a style copied by kids throughout the United States. It caused one school, New Jersey’s Bound Brook High, to ban students from coming to class wearing white gloves.

34. Jackson introduced his famous Moonwalk in 1983. It was during a live performance of Billie Jean for the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever concert special. He was taught the move by veteran dancer Jeffrey Daniel, who went on to be hired as Jackson’s co-choreographer.

35. Jackson was a music investor from 1983. He bought the rights to select music from funk pioneers Sly and the Family Stone, and the iconic Dion DiMucci songs The Wanderer and Run Around Sue, before landing the rights to the 4,000 song catalogue of ATV Music Publishing, which included the lion’s share of The Beatles’ songs.

36. Jackson’s Beat It was a fiery single … literally. When Eddie Van Halen recorded his blistering solo, the sound of his guitar caused one of the studio speakers to catch fire.

37. The gritty music video for Beat It was a landmark production. The lavish production cost US$100,000 (Dh367,250) at the time. It was set in Los Angeles’ Skid Row and featured up to 80 real-life gang members from the notorious street gangs the Crips and the Bloods.

38. Toto were heavily involved in the making of Thriller. Keyboardist Steve Porcaro co-wrote Human Nature, and Steve Lukather contributed rhythm guitar on Beat It.

39. Thriller was almost Star Light. The lyric “thriller” in the track of the same name was originally “star light”. The decision to change it was down to marketing appeal.

40. PYT (Pretty Young Thing) was never performed live by Jackson. Despite being a well-received single from the Thriller album, the star never featured the song in any of his live sets.

41. Thriller was included in the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. The music video for the title track was also placed in the National Film Preservation Board’s National Film Registry of “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant films”.

42. It was with his seventh album, 1987’s Bad that Jackson really came into his own as a songwriter. He wrote nine of the 11 tracks and co-produced the album with Quincy Jones.

43. The title track for the Bad album was supposed to be a duet with Prince. But the latter walked away from it due to the opening line “Your butt is mine”. “Now, who is going to sing that to whom? Cause [he] sure ain’t singing that to me, and I sure ain’t singing it to [him],” Prince said in a TV interview with American comedian Chris Rock.

44. The smooth 1987 ballad I Just Can’t Stop Loving You is a duet with singer Siedah Garrett. She was the third choice after Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston rejected the offer.

45. The Way You Make Me Feel was his mother’s request. Jackson wrote this track after his mum asked him to write something with a “shuffling kind of rhythm”.

46. Man in the Mirror is one of the few music videos he is hardly in. Other than appearing at the end standing in a crowd, the video is a montage of major events and historical figures.

47. His Superbowl XXVII half-time show in 1993 was game-changing. His pyrotechnics-laced four-song set was watched more than the game itself. It has set the standard for half-time shows ever since.

48. Michael Jackson’s 1991 album Dangerous was hot property. Five days before its release, three armed men broke into a music warehouse in Los Angeles and stole 30,000 copies.

49. The explosive video for Black or White was directed by Hollywood stalwart John Landis. It starred an 11-year-old Macaulay Culkin fresh from his starring role in Home Alone.

50. The music video to Scream was, at the time, in 1995, the most expensive ever produced. It had a US$7m budget. The menacing and arty video starred Jackson and his sister Janet.

51. Even when he wasn’t trying, Michael Jackson broke records. His album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, released in 1997, remains the bestselling remix album of all time, with more than six million copies sold, after virtually no promotion.

52. Jackson consistently mixed music with charity work. He was behind a series of Michael and Friends concerts in Germany and Korea, which featured performers such as tenors Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli, as well as rockers Slash and The Scorpions. The money raised went to the non-profit organization War Child.

53. Jackson’s final studio album Invincible was the bestselling album of 2001, despite moderate reviews. It features the song Unbreakable, which had, until then, the unreleased vocals by slain rapper The Notorious BIG.

54. After years of scandals and court cases, Jackson re-emerged on the music stage by announcing his final live tour This Is It. The first 10 shows alone, to be held at London’s O2 Arena in the summer of 2009, would have netted him £50m (Dh236.49m). The residency was extended to 50 shows, but the tour was cancelled following his death on June 25, 2009.

55. This Is It was his first posthumous release. With the This Is It tour abandoned after Jackson’s death, the tour’s title track became the first of many posthumous releases. The song was originally written in the 1980s by Paul Anka.

56. The secrecy of Xscape. Michael Jackson’s second posthumous album, released on May 13, 2014, was such a big deal that journalists were invited to secret listening sessions around the world days before its release. The session for this region was held at Dubai’s now-closed Qbara restaurant.

57. The life and times of Michael Jackson were discussed in detail at the inaugural Dubai Music Week in 2013. It featured a sold-out special panel session on Jackson’s career featuring producer Quincy Jones and other collaborators, the late Rod Temperton (via live video feed) and singer Siedah Garrett.

58. Abu Dhabi and China were discussed as possible sites for the world’s first Jackson family-themed hotel called Jermajesty. Speaking exclusively to The National in 2013, Jermaine Jackson said he was looking at Yas Island as a possible site for the hotel, which would be filled with Jackson family memorabilia. Nothing has been built as yet.

59. To celebrate Michael Jackson’s 60th birthday today (August 29), a large street party was held in New York City last Saturday to celebrate his life. It was organized by the director, and his collaborator, Spike Lee.

60. It is only fitting that the Apollo Theater in New York is hosting its legendary Amateur Night today. It was on the same stage that, in 1967, The Jackson 5 launched their career.

Pele birthday: Football legend Pele still laughing as he turns 80 | Football News

SAO PAULO: Considered by many to be the greatest footballer of all time, Pele will celebrate his 80th birthday on Friday, confined to his home in Brazil because of Covid-19 but meeting the milestone with his trademark laugh. “The King” has suffered from a series of health problems in recent years, but has not lost his charisma or sense of humor. “I’m fine, it’s just I won’t be able to play” on his birthday, he joked this week in a video conversation with the head of the Brazilian Football Confederation. The only player in history to win three World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1970), Pele plans to celebrate his birthday quietly — as he does almost every year, he says, coronavirus pandemic or not. But several tributes are planned in Brazil, from an exhibit in his honor at the Sao Paulo Football Museum to a mural designed by renowned street artist Kobra in Santos, the city where Pele started his professional career as a 15-year-old prodigy in 1955.

Pele also recorded a song with Grammy-winning Mexican duo Rodrigo and Gabriela, billed as “a little birthday present for his fans and himself.” “Thank you to Brazil and all Brazilians. I was always very happy wearing this jersey. Thank you for all your warm wishes for my birthday,” he wrote Wednesday on Instagram, posted with a photo of himself celebrating one of his 1,281 goals.

Whether captured in grainy black and white early in his career, or with his yellow and green number 10 Brazil jersey flitting across the screen in the era of color TV, many of those goals were spectacular displays of athletic prowess, setting the standard for the “jogo bonito,” or “beautiful game,” that would come to define Brazilian football. His legacy looms so large that FIFA named him the greatest footballer of the 20th century in 2000, alongside Argentina’s Diego Maradona — who celebrates his 60th birthday on October 30. Born October 23, 1940, in the city of Tres Coracoes in southeastern Brazil, Edson Arantes do Nascimento — Pele’s real name — has grown increasingly frail with age.

His public appearances had become rare even before the pandemic confined him at home in Brazil, where Covid-19 has now claimed 155,000 lives, the second-highest death toll in the world after the United States. Pele has been in and out of hospital in recent years for various health issues. Last year he was rushed to the hospital for kidney problems after traveling to Paris for a promotional appearance with French star Kylian Mbappe. In 2014, he was placed in intensive care for dialysis after contracting a severe urinary infection. “The King” has only one kidney, after a broken rib during a match forced doctors to remove the other. He has also suffered a series of hip problems, forcing him to use a walker.

Earlier this year, his son Edinho said health problems had left his father depressed and reclusive. “Just imagine, he’s the ‘King,’ he was always such an imposing figure, and now he can’t walk normally,” he said. Pele quickly reassured fans that he was fine. “I have good days and others that are less good. That’s normal for someone my age,” he said. Pele said he was happy for his good mental health in a video sent to the media Tuesday. “I thank God for giving me the health to make it this far lucid. Not very intelligent, but lucid,” he joked. “I hope when I die God will welcome me the same way I’ve been welcomed all over the world because of our beloved football,” he added.
