#I put chris in timeout

[lookitsjess]

[goldfades]

i know melo/luka/dbook werent allstars this year but i thought it'd be cute for their girls to rep their jerseys at the game if they were to have went...? being their cute little wag and all hsshhshs

pretty short i know but i still hope you enjoy<3

LAMELO BALL

you know he saw you the second he stepped onto the court. you’re in the front row, tucked between a sea of wags, managers, and league officials, but his eyes still find you like it’s second nature. your oversized "ball" jersey is cropped just right, paired with those little shorts that make his mind wander even when he’s supposed to be locked in. he notices the way his name stretches across your back when you turn to talk to someone, and it makes him bite back a smirk.

"you see her?" melo nudges miles, chin tipping in your direction. his boy just shakes his head, laughing.

"bro, she’s been wearin’ your jersey since before you even got drafted," miles teases. "you act brand new every time."

but it’s different. it’s all-star weekend. it's a moment that means something to him, and there you are, showing out for him, making him feel like all of this is even bigger because he gets to share it with you. when he runs past your section in warmups, he stops just for a second—just long enough to send a wink your way, making sure you see the way he mouths, you look good as hell.

you roll your eyes, but he sees the way you tuck your smile into the rim of your cup, the way your free hand tugs at the hem of his jersey like you suddenly need to adjust it. yeah, you like the attention. and he loves giving it to you.

LUKA DONCIC

"you didn’t have to do all that," luka murmurs, half bashful, half amused, as he tugs at the hem of the custom all-star luka jersey you’re wearing.

you look up at him, batting your lashes innocently. "what do you mean?"

"your whole—" he waves a hand vaguely at your outfit, at the way you’d put effort into styling it, at the way the red and blue of his jersey paired too perfectly with the rest of your look. he knows you did it on purpose. "you’re too cute."

he says it low, just for you to hear, but it still makes you warm all over.

you catch the moment cameras pick up on the exchange, because the jumbotron suddenly flashes to your section, putting you both on the big screen. a mix of cheers and teasing whistles ring out through the arena.

luka lets out a soft groan, rubbing a hand down his face, but you? oh, you play into it. you hold up the luka 77 on your back with a cheeky little pose, making the crowd holler even louder. he’s shaking his head, but the pink at the tips of his ears gives him away.

"they love you," you tease, nudging him.

"no," he mutters, leaning in so only you can hear, voice thick with affection. "they love you. i’m just the guy who plays basketball."

but the way his arm lingers around your waist before he heads back out for warmups tells you he’s not complaining.

DEVIN BOOKER

he doesn’t acknowledge it at first. not when he first jogs onto the court, not during pre-game shootaround, not even when he sneaks glances at you from across the arena, tucked into your courtside seat, wrapped in his all-star jersey like you were born to wear it.

but then he checks in for his first shift, and the camera catches you standing, clapping, yelling something that makes chris give devin a side-eye and a little smirk.

"your girl’s reppin’ hard," he mutters as they settle into position.

devin finally allows himself to look, just for a second, just long enough to catch the way the jersey fits, the way his number drapes over you, the way your excitement is so genuine it makes something deep in his chest feel all warm and right.

"yeah," he hums, flexing his fingers as he waits for the inbound. "she always does."

it’s casual, nonchalant, but there’s something about the way he plays that first possession—the extra lift in his jumper, the smoothness of his footwork—that makes it obvious. he’s feeling good.

later, when he comes over during a timeout, sweat-damp and glowing under the arena lights, he leans in close enough that only you can hear.

"you’re kinda bad for my focus, y’know that?"

you grin up at him, looping a finger around his jersey’s collar, just for a second. "i think i make you play better, actually."

he exhales a laugh, shaking his head, but doesn’t argue. maybe you do.

If the boys played “never have I ever” in an interview, what would be revealed to the public?

I SPRINTED TO MY COMPUTER

here's the transcript of poisoned mercury's buzzfeed interview where they played never have i ever as part of their press tour to promote their new album:

interviewer: thank you guys for coming!

luke *smiling while he fixes his mic*: thanks for having us :) we were just talking about how we used to do buzzfeed quizzes when we were younger.

travis: there were many days where we'd be in luke's house back in connecticut and completely forget that we were supposed to be rehearsing because we got caught up trying to figure out which inside out emotion we were.

interviewer: well, i'm glad to hear it because today we're gonna play a game of 'never have i ever.'

chris: unrelated but i fucking love that show. team paxton for life.

luke: dude no. ben is clearly the right choice.

connor: ok mr. enemies to lovers, of course you'd say that.

luke: shut up???!

travis: i think if we took the inside out quiz again right now, i'd get disgust because that's how i feel being in a band with two idiots who are so in love with their girlfriends.

connor: swear to god if i hear another "no you hang up first," from either one of you *looks at chris and luke* i'm blowing my brains out.

interviewer looks around the room, trying to ask the producers what she should do. the video editors are already stressing because they know they have to bleep out a lot of the words the boys are using.

interviewer: .... so let's start with the first question. never have i ever gone skinny dipping.

chris: fuck, how did you get all of us on the first question?

connor: yeah we've gone skinny dipping a few times, but the most recent was last summer. mama c-- shoutout mama c, we love you!

luke: yeah, we love you mama!

connor: she put all of us on timeout and we spent the entire summer at a music camp and on our last night, we all went skinny dipping at the lake with our roommates.

luke: oh shit, i forgot about that. those were good times. *looks at chris* i miss camp bro.

chris: me too.

travis *stares deadpan into the camera*: do you see what we have to deal with?

interviewer: never have i ever had a crush on a friend's sibling.

travis: guilty.

chris *turns his head so fast*: given that you're related to connor and luke is an only child, you better be talking about a non-band friend.

travis *shrugging*: your older sister is hot, rodriguez.

chris: stay away from my sister.

luke *looks at the interviewer with wide eyes*: next question or you'll have a video to submit to worldstar.

interviewer: oh! uh, okay-- never have i ever accidentally posted something to my main account instead of my private or close friends one.

connor *cracking up*: castellan, wanna take this one?

luke *blushing*: this feels like a targeted question because we know the infamous video of me with the handsome squidward filter on (the hozier incident) that was supposed to go on my close friends story! i was so embarrassed. to be clear, i was JOKING. i don't actually flirt like that.

travis: i've seen you flirt with y/n, and you in the squidward video had more game than you normally do.

luke *teasing because he knows travis does not want a relationship*: and yet who's single between the two of us?

connor: oh he got you there.

travis: y/n, if you're watching this, you deserve better. he's a loser. i have better friends i can set you up with.

luke: five star, if you're watching this, you're stuck with me. there's no going back.

interviewer: never have i ever had a song written about me.

chris: this is a great pivot to promote our sophomore album's lead single, "kiss her you fool!" we wrote this song about our front man, luke, here. our second album "optimism don't come easy (unless it's with you)" is out now.

interviewer: i love that shameless self-promo.

connor: i think we as a band can benefit from having some shame, but thank you.

chris *turns to luke*: this will also come as a shock to you, but there's another song out in the world that's kinda about you.

luke: huh? which one?

travis: quinnie, remember her? she was in cabin 7. she wrote the bulk of it, but y/n actually gave her the idea. chris and connor helped her with instrumentals and the song is sick.

connor: it was amazing. quinnie is so talented. if you guys haven't heard her music, i highly, highly recommend it. the song we're talking about is called touch tank. you guys should check it out.

chris: agreed. she's also just a fucking cool person. she's one of our closest friends in the industry.

travis *making a heart with his hands*: we love you, quinnie!

interviewer: okay, final question since we're running out of time. never have i ever gone on a world tour for my band's second album.

luke *laughs*: i see what you did there. that was good.

connor: we are soooooo excited to announce that we're going back on tour! this summer, we'll be seeing all your beautiful faces again. tickets go on sale this friday! we hope to see you there!

luke: check out our band's twitter for more information on how to get tickets and to see if we'll be coming to a city near you.

chris: we miss seeing you guys!

travis: see you guys so soon! we love you!

interviewer: that's all the time we have for today. thank you guys so much. it was a pleasure!

New Daddy

Pairing: Drew Starkey x Reader

Warnings: N/A

Pronouns: She/Her

Word Count: 0.6K

Summary: Millie decides she needs a new daddy after one time out.

Masterlist

Millie loves her mother and father, but when Drew gives her a timeout for hitting him, she is not his biggest fan at the moment. Y/N watches her little girl play on the playground while bouncing baby Tristan in her arms. A little boy approaches Millie and Y/N can’t hear the conversation they are having, but it seems to entertain her daughter. “Hi, I’m Chris. And I am four years old. I have a daddy, but no mommy,” the other child introduces himself. Millie beams at his last words, “I’m Millie. I have a mommy and daddy, but I’m mad at my daddy. Does your daddy want to marry my mommy? You can be my new brother. I already have a little brother.” Chris doesn’t really know what Millie wants to do, yet he still agrees to it to make her happy. 

Y/N spots her daughter walking toward a man with a new friend and her maternal instincts kick in. She runs over to her daughter, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Millie, what are you doing? You know you shouldn’t approach strangers,” Y/N reprimands her daughter. Millie smiles up at her mother, “But he’s not a stranger, Mommy. He is my new brother’s daddy. You should give him your phone number.” Y/N’s eyebrows knit at her daughter’s words. She readjusts Tristan in her arms.

“What do you mean, Millie? This little boy is not your new brother. Do you want a play date with him? Is that what you mean?” 

“No, his daddy is going to be your husband. Chris doesn’t have a mommy, so you can be his mommy.” 

Y/N’s eyes widen at her daughter’s words and she looks up apologetically at Chris’s dad. “Millie, I have a husband already. Remember, he’s your daddy.” Millie crosses her arms with a shake of a head, “He’s not my daddy anymore. He was mean to me. He put me in time out.” Y/N can’t help but giggle at her daughter’s words and she can’t wait to tell Drew the story when they get home.

——

Millie runs into the house, going to wash her hands for the snack she is told that her father is preparing for her. Y/N pushes the stroller into the house and leaves it at the front door. She takes Tristan out of the car seat and heads to the kitchen to find her husband cutting a strawberry into a flower. “You might want to start looking for a new house,” Y/N jokes, coming close to him to kiss his cheek. He moves away from her with confusion written on his face, “Why?” “Apparently, your daughter is in the market for a new daddy. She even went as far as telling me to give my number to her new friend’s single dad,” she explains to her husband. Betrayal crosses his features as his little girl runs into the room. “You don’t want me as a daddy anymore, Mills?” he questions with an upset look.

She shrugs, forgetting her slight against him and just wanting her snack. She runs over to the counter and reaches for the fruit in his hands. He moves his hand over his head and out of her reach. He shakes his head, “Nope, strawberries are only for little girls who want their daddy.” “I do want you, Daddy. You were just mean to me,” she pouts, jumping for the strawberry. Drew doesn’t give in to her reach. “Well, what do you say to daddies that you want?” Millie knows the game her dad is playing and wraps her short arms around his legs, giving his leg kisses since she can’t reach his face. “I love you, Daddy. Can I please have my snack now?” she asks. He grins down at her and picks her up into his arms. He kisses her cheek, handing her the strawberry. “Of course. I love you too, Baby. Just don’t hit people and you won’t get a timeout.”

Timeout

Pairing: Chris Sturniolo X Female Reader

Synopsis: Chris and Y/N are friends, but she wants to stir the pot a bit with their fans, so she does a TikTok trend that might set them off, and make more assumptions🤭

Warnings⚠️: None at all, this was a stupid idea I had in my head from watching TikTok’s about this trend. I’ll put the video at the end. Idk why I felt the need to write it but uhh enjoy??

Song for the imagine: Water- Tyla

I’ve been seeing on TikTok these videos going viral of girls testing their boyfriends by recording themselves with the song Water by Tyla while sitting next to their boyfriends to see if they’d look, and then if they do, putting them in timeout.

I loved these videos because almost every guy fell for it, and I thought it would be a good idea for me to do it to Chris.

Chris and I weren’t dating, but there fans always thought we were, and I wanted to stir the pot by posting this, and making them think we were together

However I didn’t tell Chris about this idea because I genuinely wanted to know if he knew the trend.

Him and his brothers are obviously on TikTok, but their pages are full of edits of themselves, so I wasn’t sure if he’s seen the trend or even seen the videos of the song

Chris and I were flirty with each other, but nothing crazy that’s how our personalities were. However the fans ran with that always, and made edits. I couldn’t wait to see what they would edit with this video I was going to make

We were all currently sitting on the couch mindlessly scrolling on our phones, and chatting here and there. I was leaning back at an angle, and Chris was next to me. Matt was next to Chris and Nick was next to Matt.

I got the song ready, and slightly turned up the volume, and lowered my brightness a bit. I started to record myself while the song played, and 5 seconds later Chris gives me the side eye before slightly turning his head

I was looking into the camera when my mouth dropped, and he looked at me scared.

“Did you just look to see if a girl was shaking her ass on my phone” I said

“What? NO” he said blushing

“Go sit in time out” I said pointing to the corner

He immediately got up and sat himself in the corner of the living room, and I recorded him

“Now stay there” I said laughing before ending the video

“I can’t believe his dumb ass fell for it” Matt said laughing

“Yeah and I knew he would too” I said shaking my head

“What an idiot Chris…OMG the fans are going to think yall are really dating” Nick said laughing

“I did that on purpose you know I had to stir the pot a bit” I said laughing with them

“That’s smart” Matt said

“Can I come out now” Chris said

“No….not until I think you’re ready” I said

“Not fairrr” he said whining

“Should’ve thought about that before being a snooper and looking over my shoulder” I said

Matt and Nick taking pictures of him and posting it to their stories

“I can bribe you” Chris said

I wasn’t sure why he was still in timeout. It was a joke, and he literally could’ve got up, but he didn’t. I wonder if he actually thought I was mad at him

I started to record him again, and he pulled his wallet out of his pocket and took cash out. He suddenly turned over on his hands and knees holding the bills out to me

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING” I said hysterical laughing

“Please forgive me. You can take my money” he said with his head down while holding the money up to him

“Chris I’m cryinggg right now. You can get up I was just joking” I said still laughing

“PFTT WHAT” he said and then suddenly got up putting the money back in his wallet

I was recording him stomping away

“This idiot really fell for it” Matt said to my camera

“He’s such a bitch” Nick said laughing

“HEY STOP” Chris said giving them the middle finger

I had posted both videos, and the way it went viral wasn’t even funny. The comments had us all cracking up laughing. Most assuming we were dating, them calling him whipped and a bitch and calling him a hoe for knowing the Tyla Water dance

We were cracking up laughing because this was the best joke against Chris, and he was so sour about it

“Cheer up” Matt said laughing at him

“Oh shut up” Chris said

“Mr tough guy over here” Matt said

“Yeah yeah whatever” he said sticking his tongue out at him

Eventually he got over it because it was in fact funny the way he acted. I loved bothering Chris is was so much fun

The End

This was so dumb but idk I just wanted to write it😔 anywho I got more ideas in my brain that are actually better than this I SWEAR🤞🏽

-J💅🏽

Do you have any headcanons for little dan (dan vs)

i love little Dan

He's a little menace

He is a big brat and will throw tantrums if he isn't allowed to do what he wants

When Chris takes care of him he loves to mess with Chris and he him into trouble

But with Chris he has to be careful when it comes to food related pranks and mischief because he will get a timeout without hesitation

When Elise takes care of him she tries to make sure he's on his best behavior but he still is a brat

Elise doesn't go easy on him and will put him in timeout no matter what

Little Dan loves to cuddle in bed with Mr mumble and Brutus, he takes Brutus everywhere with him

He regresses to around 1-5 and no matter the age he needs to have padding at night time, he has trouble sleeping when regressed

Will call Chris and Elise his mama and papa, it took a bit for them to get used to but they are okay with it

When imposter Dan was the telemarketer he would try and mess with Dans age regression side and make him slip to torcher him a little

Dan has nightmares about it often

Dan has a onesie that he wears all the time and it has "lil jerk" on it

When in timeout he does this 👇 to keep himself from getting bored

[perpetualexistence]

im not sure if I’m able 2 req again but are u able 2 share another chron g/t headcanon.. like.. giant don x tiny chris fluff.. ur g/t hc stuff is actually sosososoos cute and I adore them sm:33 I ws literallu crying 2 the chron g/t headcanon post earlier and it made my day to how genuinely cute that was >_<

— confetti anon

You can, in fact, ask for another!

When Chris is being particularly difficult Don will just lightly grab him by the scruff of his shirt and putting him somewhere high up to trap him there for a little bit.

Don will still be around so Chris won't get into any mischief, but sometimes Chris just needs to be put in the timeout shelf.

Director Christopher Nolan adds an epic war story to his portfolio of blockbusters, writes Dominic Corry.

In a blockbuster season dominated by brightly-colored superheroes and giant robots, Dunkirk stands alone. Although undeniably epic, this true World War II story concerns an evacuation rather than a battle and is fronted by mostly fresh faces. In anyone else's hands, it might've been a tough sell. But Christopher Nolan is no ordinary director. Plus, he has some help from a certain tousle-haired pop star. But more on Harry Styles' film debut a bit later.

As modern cinema's boldest blockbuster filmmaker, Nolan (Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight Trilogy) has always marched to the beat of his own drum. "If you look too much at what's around you, it's frightening because you realize you are trying to do something different," Nolan tells TimeOut in Los Angeles. "You want to have blinders on a little bit, you run your own race. I've come to have faith that an audience judges a film on its own terms. I don't think we sit there going, 'Hey, how come there aren't any giant robots?'"

As anyone familiar with the real story knows, the evacuation from Dunkirk was one of World War II's most critical junctures. In June 1940, before America had joined the war, 400,000 Allied troops were pinned down on the French coast by the seemingly unstoppable Nazi war machine. Home was just across the English Channel, but the troops had no way of getting there. So the Brits instituted Operation Dynamo, a plan to get the boys back to England with the help of a flotilla of hundreds of civilian boats.

"I think this is one of the greatest stories there is," says Nolan. "Like most British people, I'd grown up with the story. As a British person, it carries a very special resonance. It felt like a film that hadn't been made that should be made."

Nolan chronicles the evacuation from three distinct perspectives:

Land: via a selection of desperate young soldiers stranded on the beach.

Sea: via a pleasure boat captained by Oscar-winner Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) heading into the fray.

Air: via a small squadron of cover-providing Spitfires led by Tom Hardy.

Shot on large-format IMAX cameras, Dunkirk presents plenty of gargantuan spectacle, but the aerial dogfight sequences are perhaps the most impressive achievement in the film.

"It was very important to break new ground (with the dogfights)," says Nolan. "When you look at dogfights that are done with computer graphics, the temptation to violate the laws of physics is just too great. We wanted to go back to first principles, saying, 'Okay, let's get real Spitfires, let's get real Messerschmitts, get up in the air, and really shoot these things.' We really wanted to give the audience a feeling of how difficult it would be to be up there—the claustrophobia, the danger."

The land component of the story is populated by unknown young actors with one notable exception: singer Harry Styles of the pop group One Direction, making his acting debut.

TimeOut asked Styles if he felt as though he had to go the extra mile on set to prove he wasn't just a pop star indulging a whim. "I didn’t want to try and overcompensate too much," he replies softly. "I just wanted to go and do what Chris wanted me to do. I went in with no idea of what it was going to be like, so I just wanted to do what I was told, really."

All parties are adamant that Styles endured the same drawn-out audition process as everybody else. "I guess my being nervous probably helped, really—it put me on edge. I'm a nervous wreck most of the time. Anytime you're trying something new or putting yourself out there in any way, it's obviously a little nerve-racking."

His performance in the finished product is revelatory but not showy. "I really enjoyed being the new guy. And I didn’t know what I was doing. It is humbling. Working with someone like Chris feels like a privilege—it’s hard not to feel lucky to be there, working on a set like this. So yeah, I found it humbling."

Styles won't be drawn on the notion that his presence may expose the film to a wider audience. "Well, I think when it comes out, people will realize that it's not just for people who are interested in history. It's such an emotional, character-driven story, which obviously happens to be set within this incredible piece of history. That makes it all the more meaningful and emotional."

As with many of the people involved in the film, the story carries some personal relevance for Styles. "My grandad was in the RAF, so he's very excited to watch it. I think he's proud that I'm part of telling this story."

Wild about Harry

DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER Nolan and actor Mark Rylance didn't realise the extent of Harry Styles fame before Dunkirk. The young people in their lives certainly did. "I mean, my daughter had talked about him," says Nolan. "My kids talked about him, but I wasn't really that aware of it. "So the truth is, I cast Harry because he fit the part wonderfully and truly earned a seat at the table." Styles, 23, who gained fame with One Direction and recently launched his solo career, plays a British soldier in Nolan's World War Il suspense-thriller about the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Alled soldiers from Dunkirk, France, In May and June of 1940. Rylance, also featured in the fim, said he learned of Styles from his 11-year-old niece. "She was just more excited than anything I've ever done because I was going to be acting with Harry Styles," says Rylance. who has won an Oscar and three Tonys. "I went up in her estimation. I won the Harry!" Styles describes hits first days on set as "overwhelming" because of the scale of the production. "I think whatever you imagine kind of a giant filimset to be like, this was very ambitious even by those standards. "You know the boats and the planes and the number of bodles …It was pretty amazing. Styles, who recently added 56 dates to his upcoming solo world tour, says his One Direction bandmates were supportive of his acting dreams. "They are big fans of Chris, too, and I think they're excited to see it," he says.

leon thomas just had to put chris brown’s ass on the remix like man -_- i wanted to listen to your music but now i have to put you in timeout

[bisluthq]

buckle up, this will be a LONG ONE. american football 101 from nfl anon. this is kinda all over the place and might not even be 100% accurate but this is just from 2 seasons of watching.

okay so the clock usually runs when they start a play (that is: offense is lined up, they have like 15-20 seconds or something to snap the ball - snapping the ball is when the big guy in the middle (an olineman, the center) throws the ball in between his legs to the quarterback. once they’ve done that, the clock starts ticking. it stops everytime the play ends: that can happen when they fail to move the ball 10 yards (this give them a new set of down: they have 4 in total, they have to get it to the 10 yard line by the 3rd), the defense can intercept the ball (that is when they catch it - they can take it to the house - this is called a pick 6), or if the offense manages to get a touchdown. they usually let the clock run when they’re getting into positions too (like when the offense is lining up). basically: when there’s active play happening, the clock is going. they can reset the clock when a call has been overturned (refs throw a flag and call a penalty) i’m pretty sure. each team has 3 timeout in a half (this is 30 seconds) - they will usually save their timeouts till the end, this helps manage the clock (basically: they throw the ball, immediately call a timeout, clock stops, they line up again, throw, timeout). i don’t fully understand it either but just remember that when active play is happening, the clock runs but they keep stopping it when teams switch for example. one fun thing teams can do: if they are within 2 minutes (meaning 2 minutes on the clock) and they are in the lead, if they can get the ball to the fieldgoal line (on the others team side, i think at the 45 yard line or something) they can kneel 3 times - kneeling basically gives up a play, like i said, they have 4 down, the 4th kneel would give the ball over, they can kneel to win the game. the clock will literally run down to 0 with them already having won the game. this confused the fuck out of me at first, still does ngl.

tackling: well this is still kinda foreign to me but there are rules. the defense will be doing the tackling. each person on the defense has a position. there’s the d line (chris jones on the chiefs for example is a defensive lineman - he puts pressure on the qb by rushing, the oline which is the other teams offensive line is there to stop that from happening), there are the corners which as the fast guys, they are basically the wide receivers of the defense, they are there to outrun the receivers and stop them from catching the ball. there are also safeties who help stop passes just like corner and they also help stop the run game (run game is when they run the ball - barkley on the eagles is like the n1 running back currently). there are linebackers who basically do the same thing, they help the defensive line stop the running back but they also help stop passes. there are many duel positions in the nfl, both on the defense and offense. back to tackling. basically if you have the ball, the defense can do anything to stop you, within reason - they can’t be unnecessarily rough (for example: if the player is down: their knees are on the ground while having possession of the ball, meaning they have a strong grip on it). if the defense runs into someone when they didn’t need to, that’s a penalty. they also can’t hold onto players, that’s pass interference. they also can’t put their hands on the other players facemask, that’s always a penalty. they have to be careful about how they tackle the wb because roughing the passer is an automatic first down for the other team i’m pretty sure. they need to get the player to either drop the ball (they are allowed to hit it out of their hand and take it too) or they have to take them down with it. they can’t hold onto players for a long time tho, they well blow the play.

offsides is anything literally off to the side of the field. there are lines draw up, if you step outside with the ball, they will mark you right where you stepped out, the rest won’t count for yards. if both of your feet (i’m serious) are not in bounds, your catch will not count! if you look up the ravens vs chiefs game from the 2024 season, the racens tight end caught the ball in the endzone but his toes were on the line so it didn’t count as a touchdown. you have to have both feet down, in bounds, otherwise it doesn’t count.

onto passing: anyone can throw to anyone, anywhere pretty much but there positions for these. the quarterback is the one that always throws the ball (they are allowed to run with it too though if they see an opening). they have to be in the pocket (imagine an actual pocket around the qb, it’s like a square in which they can move around in but they have to try to throw it within that pocket because the oline is holding the pocket - if you’re out, the dline WILL tackle you or push out out bounds, this is why qbs will just run for the first down atp if they can). but yeah, travis has thrown balls, they can pass to each other to further the play. if they know they will be tackled but a teammate is close by, they can throw him the ball (this is called a lateral, very underused trick because it’s extremely risky…these players don’t practise throwing the ball so it could easily result in an interception).

who make up the offense and the defense? well, let’s go through the basics: the most important player in the offense is the quarterback. they tell the players the plays (basically: andy reid is the headcoach of the cheifs - he draws up the plays, what this means is that he comes up eith formations, think of it as a dance - you go here, you go here. every play has a name, it’s always some nonsense like zebra cage 123 left pinky going sideways, these are codenames for each position, one tells the tight end how to line up and where to run, the other word tells the wide reciever what do etc). if you look carefully, theres a little screen on the qbs arm, this thing kinda tells them what to do, they also have speakers inside their helmets, this is how the headcoach can communite with them, they tell them what to do exactly. the qb has to memorize all of these codesnames and help the team line up. you will sometimes see a play not start and hear the qb yell something, this happens when the players are not lined up correctly. moving on to wide receivers: just how their name suggests, they are the guys who run very fast and can catch the ball from a wide distance. when you see insane plays like guys catching a ball from the other side of the field, it’s most likely a wide receiver. then there’s the tight end which is what travis is. this is the best example of a dual position. they line up close to the wide receivers and run similar routes. they block and the catch the ball. they are usually bigger than an average wide receiver for this exact reason. sometimes you’ll see travis not catch a ball for almost an entire game - this doesn’t mean he’s not playing, he’s just helping other teammates by pushing the defensive players out of the way or making way for the rusher - this is blocking. then there’s the running back - they are responsible for running the ball. they can catch it too but their main job is to take the ball off the qb and run with it (this is the closest position to a rugby player i think). the there are the offline lineman which are: center (snaps the ball, also blocks, probably the most important oline position), right and left tackle (on the right and left side of the pocket - if they are shit, like the chiefs tackles are, the pocket collapses and the qb gets sacked), there are also guards on either side of the center. onto the defense. there’s the dline aka defensive line - they rush the qb and they also try to sack him. there are the corners like i mentioned, safeties etc. they all basically do the same thing which is to try to limit the offense to mininal points by not allowing touchdowns. their job is to hold them to fieldgoals.

ok this legit helped me understand but it is still confusing. I might ask more questions next season and watch some more games because I do want to try understand this mostly because I... like understanding things lol and I really felt with this SB game like I understood fuck all. I get it a bit better now. The passing and tackling and stoppage time were most confusing to me because the rules are very different in rugby (in rugby, stoppage only happens for injuries/going back on ref calls, anyone can pass but ONLY backwards and anyone can run with the ball but again can only pass backwards - you can run forward with the ball but you can only throw it to players behind you, there are offsides but they're a little more clear cut and usually the other team just throws it in (the teams line up and one guy is thrown into the air to catch it usually), and you can tackle anyone who has the ball (which again can be anyone) but you can't hold them down or punch them or bite them (this has happened and players get sent off for it) or anything else unreasonable to prevent them from getting rid of the ball - which they can do by passing to someone else if possible or the ref calls for it goes into a scrum where the two teams line up for the ball in, well, a scrum where the ball is in the middle and the guys fight for it and whichever side gets it... gets it, they also don't wear all this crazy gear so it's for the most part a bit more violent although there are rules against active violence/trying to hurt one another)

We all know he prefers to be ridden 😉

It cracks me up whenever they stick Chris with a motorcycle knowing he's said he's not a fan of riding. 😂

---

three loud bangs interrupt your alone time and you jump, almost dropping your phone on the hardwood floor. "y/n!" a loud, familiar voice calls, and it sounds pissed. you swing the door open to see chris holding leon by the scruff of his jacket, and your boyfriend's cheeks are flushed red as he beams at you. "take him. i'm done with his constant whining about wanting to see you." chris deadpans, shoving your pretty blonde boy into your arms. "y/n..!" leon slurs, nuzzling up into your neck. "oh, chris!" you call before he walks off. "what?" the man stops suddenly and looks at you over his shoulder. "thanks for taking care of him." you smile at your friend, and he sighs grumpily. "sure, just get him sober and take care of him." chris replies, a soft smile on his face.

the apartment door closes behind you as you guide leon to the couch, but the blonde isn't making it easy. "y/n, i missed you sooooo much." he mumbles into your skin, arms tight around your waist as he takes in your scent. "you've only been gone for a few hours, lovely." you remind him, and he pouts at you as you push him on the couch. "don't call me thaaat!" leon cries, and you roll your eyes. "oh? what do you want me to call you then?" you fold your arms as you watch his curious face. it's as if you could see his brain ticking as he thinks. "the other one." he finally replies, big blue eyes looking back up at you. "baby?" you try, and he sticks his bottom lip out at you. "noooo.. the other other one!" your boyfriend whines, his drunken state slumping back on the couch. "how about... darling?"

"no... the nice one." leon huffs, his boot scraping at the hardwood like an upset child being made to sit in timeout. you hum in thought, sauntering to the kitchen to get him a glass of water. "where are you going?" he calls after you, about to get up until you respond. "getting you a drink to sober you up, puppy." you call back. "that's it!" your boyfriend yells and you almost drop the glass. "baby, what's-?" you get cut off by your boyfriend's voice. "that's the one! you said it!" he beams up at you. "puppy?" you test, and leon nods happily. "you like being called puppy?" you tease, pressing the glass into his hands. "yeah." the blonde sips the drink and cringes at the bland taste. "ahh.." he whimpers quietly, holding the glass away like a fussy child. "you need to keep drinking it to feel better, puppy." you say softly, sitting beside him on the couch. leon lets out a big huff, but drinks the water anyway. you smile when he finishes it, placing the empty glass on the floor and kicking his boots off.

"hmmm, y/n?" leon mumbles, and you hum as you look over at him. "can we cuddle, pleeeease??" he draws out, giving you his best puppy eyes. "c'mere then." you smile, offering him your arm so he could lay on your chest. leon clambers over you and flops down on top of you, gripping your shirt with his fingers. "mmmm.. thank you." he whispers, and you wrap your arms tightly around him. "no problem, puppy." you smile, kissing his head softly. "fuck... i love it when you call me that." leon admits again, voice barely above a whisper as he nuzzles into your chest. you comb your fingers through his soft hair, scratching at his scalp affectionately as you chuckle softly. "yeah? you like being my puppy?" you smile at his reaction, the way he seizes up and shudders at your words. "yeah." leon replies, hiding his blush in your chest. "speak up, puppy." you tease, moving your hand from his scalp to his face so he could look at you. "hnn." his eyes flicker away but the light tap of your finger on his cheek brings him back to you. "c'mon, tell me what you like." you continue. "i... like when you call me that." leon's cheeks are so red you can't help but giggle. "call you what? i call you many things." your thumb rubs his bottom lip gently. "i.. i like being your... i.." he stammers, eyes looking anywhere but you. "haha. alright, puppy. relax, i'm only teasing." you smile, giving him a gentle kiss.

"fuck, y/n you don't know what that does to me..." leon whimpers, hazy, drunk eyes fluttering closed. "my puppy.." you smile, gently rubbing his cheek as his eyebrows furrow. "stop..." the blonde's voice cracks slightly and you grin. "what's wrong, puppy?" you whisper to him. "y/n..." his breath is shuddery as he tightens his grip on your shirt. "puuuppyyy." you drawl out, your other hand cups his other cheek as you now hold his face with both hands. leon whimpers, hips catching on your thigh as he lets out a soft sigh. "damn, i knew this would get a rise out of you but wow. you really do like this, don't you? puppy?" you tease, and his blue eyes find yours. "fuck..." he whimpers, moving to nuzzle into your neck. "aww, puppy. you getting all worked up?" you continue, running your hand down his spine affectionately. "y/n..." he whispers, giving your thigh another hump, yet this time more shyly. "go on, puppy. you can do it." you straighten your leg for him, letting him find a steady pace against your leg. leon lets out a soft moan that vibrates against your neck, and you give his jaw a soft kiss to encourage him to keep going.

leon gasps against your neck, whimpering into your skin as his clothed dick grinds against your thigh. "aww, puppy. is that good?" you kiss his pulse softly, and leon's breath audibly hitches in his throat. "oh, my pretty puppy looks so puppy like this." you whisper into his ear, enjoying how he reacted. "c-can i please cum??" leon moans, pulling on your shirt so he could nuzzle closer. "so soon?" you tease, pretending to think. "please mommy, i've been good." he begs, hips speeding up a little. "fine, but only because you've asked so politely." you laugh, giving his ear a soft kiss as he keens with a mantra of thank you's. "come on, puppy, cum on mommy's leg." you grin, loving leon's moans and whimpers as his hips stutter then stop with a loud whine.

gently rubbing his back, you spoil leon with praise, and he absorbed all your words happily. "c'mon puppy, let's get you clean and get you to bed." you smile, sitting up with the blonde in your lap. "but-" he tries to start, but you cut him off with a playful "ah ah ah." which affectively hushes him. "come on, shower time." you smile, helping your boyfriend stand. before he went into police training you could of carried his scrawny ass to the shower, but now he's been working out and eating more healthy you couldn't scoop him up as easily which this leon, the needy sub kind, hated.

leon pouts, trying to get you to hold him but your much weaker arms couldn't manage. "puppy, c'mon. use your legs for mommy." you roll your eyes as he huffs stubbornly, nuzzling into your neck. "don't wanna." he pouts into your skin. "leon." you warn, and he whines softly at the tone. "i don't wanna..!" he cries and you roll your eyes. "fine, but if i drop you it's your own fault." you give in, knowing he's too stubborn to do anything in this still drunk and needy mindset.

your boyfriend gives a drunken giggle, wrapping his arms around your neck as you pull his legs around your waist. "you're not my little baby anymore, you're actually quite heavy." you remind him, but leon ignores you, happily kissing your neck up as you slowly carry him to the bathroom. "fuck puppy, c'mon let go." you wheeze as you manage to haul his ass onto the counter. leon pouts as he lets go of your neck, watching you leave to get some towels and clean clothes before turning the shower on for him. "c'mon, leon. this should sober you up." you smile, gesturing for him to come to you.

leon jumps off the counter and stumbles into you arms. "hi." your boyfriend giggles, kissing you softly. "do i have to undress you too?" you ask, joking, but he nods. "damn it.. you're lucky i love you, puppy." you sigh, tugging his jacket off and grabbing the hem of his shirt as he raises his arms for you to strip him off his shirt. "thank youuu..~" leon purrs, giving you a soft kiss as you help him out his pants and cum stained boxers. you go to leave to give your lover privacy, but he snatches your wrist with his damn puppy eyes. "stay? i don't wanna be alone." leon's bottom lip sticks out at you and you sigh. "fine, i'll stay with you but i'm not getting in." you reply, stepping back into the bathroom.

you sit on the counter as you wait for leon to sober up. eventually, leon sighs, turns the shower off and gets out. you toss him the towel you got for him and he mumbles a small thank you. "you feel better?" you ask as he dries himself off. "yeah. thanks for putting up with me." leon avoids your eyes, cheeks flushing red and this time not from alcohol. you laugh at his embarrassed look, getting down from the counter to give him a soft kiss. "i love you." you smile, helping him pull his shirt on. "i love you too." leon smiles, kissing you again. you give him one last kiss before heading through to the bedroom to get ready for bed.

settling was easy, and you wait for your boyfriend to get into bed with you. eventually, his side of the bed dips and he cuddles up to you. "i love you." leon mumbles into your ear, kissing behind your ear affectionately. "i love you too, puppy." you grin, rolling over to coddle him and flutter soft kisses onto his face. "stop..." leon blushes, going to turn away from you. "what? i thought you liked being called puppy." you continue to tease, kissing him lovingly. leon sighs, "i'm not gonna live this down, am i?" your boyfriend mumbles as he leans his forehead against yours. "nope. i love you." you giggle as the two of you settle. "i love you more."

Hi, sweetie, how are you?

I read your Adrian fic and saw that you mentioned that requests were open, so I was thinking something like Adrian being too loud in public or embarrassing the reader in some way (because I think that's something he would do) and I found the prompt:

"Why am I your friend?" "Because you love me" lol.

Only if you want to write it, and if you can add me to your taglist for all Adrian's fics I would be very grateful <3

Often, walking into mission HQ is something that you have to mentally and physically prepare yourself for, though not for the reasons that people would think. It's not dangerous inside of the old comic store, and you actually get along with your coworkers. Instead, you have to prepare yourself for walking into what is almost guaranteed to be a shitshow led by Peacemaker, Vigilante, and with special appearances by Economos.

Today is no different. The moment you walk through the door, your ears are assaulted with Chris and Adrian having a very loud, very passionate discussion. You're not sure what the subject is, but based on how Harcourt is banging her head on her desk and Murn is staring at the two with dead eyes, you can assume it's something stupid.

Setting your bag down on your desk, you scoot your chair next to Adebayo. "How long have they been at it this time?" you ask

She doesn't even bother to look up from her game of Candy Crush. "Ten minutes."

"Okay, so not the longest they've gone."

Finally, Adrian seems to notice that somebody else arrived in the midst of all of this. You cringe, knowing that he's about to drag you into this argument since you're usually the only one that ever backs him up. "I bet Y/n will agree with me!"

"Yeah fuckin' right!" Chris rolls his eyes, apparently thinking he's already won.

"What am I agreeing with you about?"

Adrian grins and says, "If I was taken over by a butterfly, do you think you would be able to tell just by fucking me?"

You blink, jaw opening and closing as you try to say something, anything, in response. Peacemaker continues on like you aren't currently shell-shocked. "If Harcourt fucked me I totally think she'd be able to tell if there was a butterfly behind the wheel."

"Don't bring me into this!" she yells from across the room.

"So?" Adrian asks you earnestly. "You'd be able to tell, right?"

"I—why am I friends with you, again?"

"Besides my amazing sense of humor and great ass? Because you love me."

"If you want to keep it that way, I'd suggest not talking about having sex with me in front of everyone." It's way too early for this. You haven't even finished your coffee yet!

"Okay," Adrian pushes himself over towards you, "but I think us having sex would be a good idea, that way you have a frame of reference if you're ever worried that a butterfly got me!"

Your cheeks heat up, and Harcourt and Adebayo laugh at the way the way your hand twitches to keep yourself from striking Adrian. "Murn?" you ask. "Can I put him in timeout?"

"You are all grown-ass adults," Murn says simply.

"So that's a yes?"
