At the Eastern Junior Tennis championships at Forest Hills, July 18, 1959, one of the players was 16-year old Arthur Ashe, right. He only made it through the first round.

Motorcity X FNAF AU: A BURN IN THE NIGHT (2/3)

Remember the missing guards from the last post? Well, the guards were murdered by the animatronics and stuffed into the spare prototype animatronic costumes stored in the underground storage bunker beneath the diner.

Kaia's demonic rituals merged the guards' corpses with the endoskeletons. Making these less animatronics and more of nightmarish unholy amalgamations between flesh and fabric.

A mechanic on site named Tennie worked underground each night to store and manage aniamtronic parts, sending messages to Claire to give her tips on how to deal with the original five on the floor above. Unknowingly, she finds the secret ritual room storing the animatronics filled with cursed amalgamated meat and bone.

The following night, a whistleblower at KaneCo Engineering found out about Tennie's discovery. Leading Kane to send Tennie on a job on that night to investigate the room's animatronics. Which causes the four decommissioned robots to stuff her into a spare Crow suit. Starting the ritual themselves with her alive inside the suit, the poor mechanic becomes an imbalanced hybrid of human and animatronic. Her mind getting overwritten to hunger for blood

What fate does Claire hold? You'll see...

Rafa Junior Watches Dad in Barcelona: Photo Highlights

Rafael Nadal’s presence in Barcelona may have been brief, with only two matches played at the Barcelona Open. However, his family, team, and friends rallied around him, joining a packed crowd in enthusiastic support. Photographers were particularly interested in capturing images of Rafa’s wife, Maria Francisca Perello, and their son, Rafa Junior, in the stands, making them the focal point of many…

“You’re one hell of a roommate..”

Vash and Knives living together- HS AU + College AU!

CW- mentions of death (in relation to Rem + the loss of Vash’s arm)

EVEN MORE highschool and college au lore (the only difference between the two when I write is in hs au you meet them in hs in college au you meet them freshman year of college)

Also wait give me feedback should I just make it so you knew them in hs and went to the same college?? Idk

@cowboylivio I mentioned this earlier in the Trigun server but here u go! <3

-When Vash and Nai start living together (on their own) it’s when they’re 16-17 in highschool (juniors/third years/11th grade). It was a cheap apartment in a bit of a run down part of town, and they had to walk a good distance to get picked up by the bus every morning. (They didn’t want to put too much mileage on their shared car- a used SUV from like 6 years ago)

-this was due to Rem’s passing, they got emancipated w/out a court order so they didn’t have to deal w Foster care or anything

-they were both kids- and rightfully terrified. Nai had to work harder to support both him and Vash while Vash had to get used to having no arm while trying to save money to get a prosthetic (they got some money from the state but still)

-Vash learned to get used to playing tennis w/one arm. It was a long process but he’s very good

(Ok now for more fluff this was getting way more depressing than I thought it would be T<T)

-Once they start to get the hang of it more- Nai tends to cook dinner while Vash cleans. (Although Nai tends to help him out since he wants them cleaned a certain way lol)

-in college (w/ academic scholarships + athletic scholarships) they have enough money to get a condo off campus once they’re like sophomore-junior. Freshman year Nai hated the dorms (they were full of obnoxious people, ugh.)

-on a side note Nai is eternally grateful they’re going to the same college. He didn’t know what he’d do without Vash

-Vash and Nai went to like an ikea and target for furniture- Vash couldn’t stand the blandness of the condo and despite Nai preferring minimalism the plain tan walls were definitely lacking

-they didn’t have much decor in their apartment in highschool, due to most of it being expensive and they were too focused on school and sports to care much anyway (but now w/ a more stable life in college they got to settle down a tiny bit)

-Vash wanted a few cute plant posters and Nai agreed, purchasing a few small succulents and debating on what coffee table to get

-VASH TOTALLY WANTED A SECTIONAL even tho they’re expensive (they both saved up for one after like a year or two)

-Vash insisted they have a few cute blankets in the ottoman. By cute they have like a bunch of graphic design blankets (Vash has an Elmo one) (Nai called him ridiculous) (he thinks it’s endearing anyway)

-their condo isn’t huge but it’s very well kept despite a few scattered papers and assignments. Nai keeps a tidy home, and he’s practiced at doing so. In highschool when Vash went into a mental health slump (as did he, but he had to try his best to ignore it to keep them both afloat) one of the things that helped him think was cleaning. It still is.

-Vash has kids toothpaste because he can’t stand the taste of super strong minty adult stuff. It’s overwhelming for him

-like imagine using their bathroom and you see like Anna and Elsa toothpaste next to an astray toothbrush (also they’re not supposed to be out on the sink they have drawers for that but Vash sometimes forgets)

-they have a soft rug. They got it from Ikea. It’s a bit minimalist with small cute patches or color- Nai wanted a plain white one but Vash insisted they need some color so they compromised.

-there’s cute small floating shelves lining the shelves lining the walls- some have small trinkets Vash has collected from thrift shops (small plushie, a cute little pot where he’s growing a plant, etc)

-They always try to do something for each other every holiday. Nai especially, considering his love languages are quality time, acts of service, and gift giving. The first year they were alone and only had each other, Nai wanted Vash to feel better and got him something small. A cute mug he found at a goodwill he took Vash one weekend, (since Vash enjoys just window shopping. He refrained back then from getting anything because he hated to stress Nai out)

-it was a snoopy mug, with the beagle and the little yellow bird reminding him of Vash. He also got him a Star Wars keychain (because Vash was totally a Star Wars nerd at one point in time like imagine him cosplaying Anakin or Padme OHMYGOD-)

-Vash cherishes these to this day and every single gift Nai gets him. Even to the snacks Nai often gives him, or just the fact he knows someone cares. Nai has been with him through thick and thin, seen him at his worst, helped him at his worst, supported the both of them, comforted him even though it’s hard for him..

He’s forever grateful to him.

Kongs Age Rapidly

Kongs in the Mario lore age much faster than gorillas in the real world. This because these are sapient gorillas with their own language, and can build house and operate go-karts in a high fantasy world.

The prime examples are Cranky Kong aka the Original Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Tiny Kong, and Implied to be the case for DK III. However, it seems to have applied to only some Kongs at the same time. Also, yes we do see an adult Donkey Kong Junior. We see this in the Super Mario Kart SNES Nintendo Commercial, the Super Mario Kart Japanese Store Promo Video, and art from the box art and manual. Donkey Kong Jr. is actual around the size of Bowser in SMK, and we see an adult DK Jr. in Mario's Tennis. We also might see him in NES Open Tournament Golf.

There could be some weird time dilation or even magic going on here. Or who knows, maybe they are like the Dreemurrs from Undertale. Or who knows, maybe everyone else just ages extremely slow in comparison to the Kongs.
