NFL Week 10

The Wideouts came to play this past weekend. Watching the Minnesota Vikings come back to beat the Buffalo Bills had me jumping with excitement and going crazy on Sunday. For what Justin “The Man” Jefferson did when the game was on the line is nothing short of spectacular. I’m sure most fans thought the corner-route pass thrown by Kirk Cousins was picked off and game was over…until Jefferson rolled over with the ball shifting from his right palm into his left arm as the pass was completed. The next play Jefferson ran a dig-route and took a hit securing the catch at about the 3-yard line. In overtime he caught another sweet catch on the same corner route at the end of regulation. Of course Mr. Jefferson takes home the WOW award. He finished the afternoon with 10 catches for 193 yards and 1 touchdown. His team secured the victory as well against a formidable Buffalo Bills. 

On the opposite side was another dangerous wideout who goes by “Him.” All world wideout Stefon Diggs put on a show himself. Diggs did not find the end zone Sunday but he didn’t leave the field without having an eye dropping catch. Toward the end of the 3rd quarter, QB Josh Allen scrambled out the pocket right and fired a dart to Diggs who jumped up catching a 1-hand pass for a 25-yard gain. The next play he shook the corner and caught a slant where he broke a few tackles for the 20 yard completion. He’s currently number 3 in total yards with 857 and added to that total with 128 yards and 12 catches. I’m loving the way Stefon has played this season. 

Ceedee Lamb sometimes plays like the baby sheep his last name implies and at other times he’s the grown version of that sheep. Against the Green Bay Packers, Lamb caught 11 of 15 balls for 150 yards and 2 Touchdowns. Lamb will make an incredible catch and usually drops the easy ones. Since Dak Prescott has returned his targets and production have gone up. I believe the Cowboys are using him in the backfield to increase his confidence by getting him the ball against guys who can’t cover. I’m all for whatever works as long as he continues to get better. 

I believe this is the second week in a row that Terry McLaurin’s name has made this blog. Against one of the better defenses in the NFL (Eagles) McLaurin had a big day. Eagles corner Darius Slay was getting his ass whooped up and down the field. One play in particular was a beautiful release where McLaurin jabbed outside causing Slay to jump hard outside and stumble while he released inside catching a 45-yard go-route. Terry caught a bunch of slants and had another dope release on a corner route he caught near the end of the 2nd quarter. 8 catches for 128 yards is one hell of a game to beat the undefeated Eagles…Keep it up kid. 

Davante Adams is top 3 in the NFL when it comes to press releases. On a simple quick out he tore the DB ass up and finished with an acrobatic one-hand catch for a 5 yard gain. He then lines up inside and does the same thing on an 5 yard in-route against #58 of the Indianapolis Colts. Adams toyed with the backer all game. Early in the 4th Adams broke free on a 48-yard dig to score his lone touchdown. 

I’m glad a kid I once coached made the top wideouts of the week blog. Amon-Ra St. Brown finished the afternoon with 10 catches for 119 yards. I like how he’s being utilized in the run game to get him more touches. The Detroit Lions have a solid receiving core. St. Brown catches passes from the backfield, slot, and even receives handoffs. It appears teams in the league are copying what San Francisco does with Deebo Samuel and what the Atlanta Falcons have done with Cordarrelle Patterson. Line up your top athlete and utilize him against the teams worst defenders. I’m pushing for Amon-Ra to stay healthy so he could follow-up his rookie campaign with another 1,000 yard season. 

To conclude this weeks 100-yard performers are two names I’ve never heard of. Had it not been for the game Justin Jefferson had; Christian Watson of the Green Bay Packers would have been the wideout of the week. The rookie from North Dakota State had an hat-trick scoring 3 times against the Dallas Cowboys. The 6’5 wideout is a blazer. He blew by the corner on his first touchdown for a 58-yard bomb from Aaron Rodgers and scored the games final touchdown on a play action over-route to tie the game…eventually leading to his team kicking a field-goal to win. Christian Kirk caused havoc against the Kansas City Chiefs catching 9 passes for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns. The contract he received sure seems to be paying off for the talented wideout. Lastly is the other wideout I had never heard of. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine of the Tennessee Titans had an impressive afternoon. His first touchdown was a nice toe-tapping catch in the left end zone. Nick then caught a 64-yard flea flicker making a Broncos defender miss a tackle has he scored his second touchdown of the day. He finished the game with 5 catch for 119 yards and 2 TD’s. 

Another week to be great wideouts…let’s go, keep grinding, finish strong, and ball to the wheels fall.

To our Brazilian followers. Do not confuse Darius Slay from the Eagles with Darius SlayTON from the Giants!

I like to think they were besties <3 (not ship)

These two weren't originally part of my pride lineup, but that's purely because in June I hadn't developed either behind the scenes. Now they're a lot more fleshed out and I love them to death.

They won't show up until later in the au, but they're adorable and I'm going to gush about my rainbow boys while I have the opportunity. I need more art of these two rogues, I'm begging,

NFL Week 2

Another week of amazing plays by wideouts across the country. Week 2 in the NFL left me hanging on to the edge of my seat because of how crazy the game of sports can be. The comeback by the Jets with under 1:40 seconds left and being down 13, to winning the game by 1 in regulation was nothing short of a miracle. How about the Ravens defense giving up huge plays to one this weeks ‘wideout of the week’ Tyreek Hill (tie with Jaylen Waddle) who used his speed to get behind the defense for touchdowns  of 60 and 48 yards on back to back possessions. The Dolphins entered the 4th quarter down 21 points to Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. With plays made by arguable to fastest duo in the NFL right now, you can see why both wideouts took home wow(wideout of the week) awards. Waddle scored the game winning touchdown and finished the afternoon with 11 catches, 171 yards, and 2TD’s. His all pro teammate Hill finished the game with 13 catches, 190 yards, and 2TD’s. Tyreek leads the league in with 284 yard and his counterpart is currently 3rd with 240 yards respectively. Waddle is 1st in YAC (yards after catch) with 116 and Hill is 2nd with 104 YAC. I’m sure they will continue to be headaches for opposing defensive coordinators. They have the ability to break tackles, shake defenders, and run past them. Only Tua can stop them because he’s the one delivering the rock to the outstanding playmakers at his disposal. 

Cooper Kupp continued to add to his legacy by catching 11 passes for 108 yards and scoring on two sweet plays. The first was a tough over the shoulder catch in the left endzone that Kupp made look easy. His second touchdown came via a swing route to the right side where he shook a defender out of his pants to score his 3rd touchdown of the season. I’m loving watching Cooper line up in the backfield and run hitch routes against outside linebackers. Then line up at slot catch a basic and back to the backfield to catch swings for touchdowns. It’s poetry in motion watching him prosper in McVay’s genius.

Stefon the man Diggs!!! Had the Miami boys not did what they did to the Ravens, Diggs would’ve earned back to back WOW awards. The young lad had a hat trick and we not talking hockey. Scoring 3 TD’s in one game is nothing short of extraordinary. Diggs has had back to back 100 yard games ending Monday night with 148 yards on 12 catches. The Bills are looking scary. They were without number two wideout Davis and still scored at will. Tennessee had a disaster of a third quarter when Kyle Philips-rookie from UCLA who I began training as a 9th grader in Southern California muffed a punt. That turnover led to two Ryan Tannehill interceptions with one leading to a touchdown. 

The other top-10 wideouts from last weeks list didn’t have performances worth mentioning. Justin Jefferson got locked the fuck up by Darius Slay of the Philadelphia Eagles. He twice picked off balls intended for Jefferson and had two breakups balls that should’ve been intercepted. Slay owned Jefferson in every aspect of Monday Nights game. To stay on my radar of relevancy Jefferson will have to bounce back over the next two weeks to get mentioned when I compile my 1st quarter top-10 list. Davante Adams was another one who got locked down. Although Adams managed to score he was held to two catches for 12 yards on seven pass attempts. 

Honorable Mention

I like what the rookie 1st round pick out of USC Drake London is doing. There’s something about his game I didn’t like in college but I see why he was a 1st round pick. Standing at 6’4 and weighing in at 215, Drake’s a big boy and poses a huge size advantage over db’s. He attacks the ball at its high point and I saw him hurdle a defender this weekend. I’ll keep my eye on him and who know’s he just might make my list at the end of the season. 

I didn’t think Christian Kirk was worth the money that he was paid which led to a market reset and some wideouts wanting a raise because of his contract (4yr-72million). But he’s currently number 7 in yards with 195 and has done that on 12 catches to go along with two scores. The Jaguars are not known for having an explosive offense. But with Kirk’s ability to stretch the field and rack up YAC, this will help put wins in the boxscore if he’s able to keep it up. 

This next wideout who I could see cracking my top 10 is Amon-Ra St. Brown. Naturally I have a soft spot for him because I coached Amon in high school and began training him as an 8th grader while working with his older brother Equanimeous St. Brown of the Chicago Bears. Together we lost 1 game in the finals against St. John Bosco and won a national championship. I was able to watch the RA work and taught him some things that would make him successful at wideout. The numbers he put up in high school were ridiculous if you consider St. Brown only played past half-time in 6 out of 29 games. During those two seasons  he had 2,529 yards on 132 catches and 44 receiving touchdowns. I believe he had 3 punt returns for touchdowns but I only counted the ones he had at wideout. Against the Washington Commanders he caught 9 balls for 116 yards and had two scores. He became the third wideout in league history to have 8+ catches in 8 straight games joining Antonio Brown and Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints. He set a record with 6 consecutive game of 8+ catches and a touchdown. Ra is definitely someone I can see climbing his way into my top-10 by seasons end.

Been drawing to much cute stuff, here’s some Hunter execution trauma

Been thinking of writing something that relates to the hexsquad and other characters (Darius, Lilith, Eda, Camila, ect) finding out what being Golden Guard actually meant. In the show, Hunter is pretty isolated as the Golden guard, primarily acting out independently in missions and even then those missions were decently brutal. (Slaying a selkidomous and kidnapping palismen for slaughter). So it figures no one actually really knew what he did. So they question, and he answers.

It’s tough hearing someone you know as a victim also victimizing others. How many owners of palismen did he leave heartbroken? Any children he orphaned? Witches and demons left without their partners? Had sigils forced upon? Made into statues because of him?

I think of the Golden Guard being an icon to the boiling isles , someone who’s known widely yet no one quite knew what he actually did since it was stuff to carry out Belos dirty work.

[jamscandraw]

Ref sheet for my Grimwalker OC Ambrose!! Lore under the cut but he's still in development so some of it may change

According to Emperor Belos Ambrose was “found” washed up on the shore of the Boiling Isles amid a shipwreck. It was concluded that Ambrose came from another far-off island, but with no other survivors and no memories prior to waking up, there was no way of knowing where he came from. Belos gave him a home in the castle and allowed him to train as a scout, and he was promoted to the rank of Golden Guard within a year.

As a Grimwalker, Ambrose was one of Belos’ great successes. He was almost “perfect”, i.e., quick to learn, compliant, loyal, and free of physical deformities, save for symbrachydactyly in his right hand. Disgusted by this “defect”, considering it a failing of his own, Belos told Ambrose it was the result of an injury during the shipwreck, and fashioned him a prosthetic hand with an artificial magic core embedded in the palm. This allowed Ambrose to learn the basics of magic, and because the hand looks like a gauntlet most people do not know he is not a “natural” witch, a rarity among the former Golden Guards. Because of Belos’ high expectations and harsh judgements, Ambrose was incredibly hard on himself over tiny mistakes and feared being perceived as anything less than the perfect devout follower.  He has a shaky sense of his own identity - he feels like a foreigner, but has no connection to his past or his homeland. He fears learning the truth and avoids going too near the sea.

As part of his indoctrination, Belos fed Ambrose old stories from the human world about brave knights and the divine right of kings, like the Knights of the Round Table and St George, and Ambrose became obsessed with them. He loved the concepts of chivalry and great heroes, and began to see himself as the brave Lancelot standing beside King Arthur, and the evils of wild magic were to be defeated like the dragons of old. While this did strengthen his loyalty to Belos it also gave him a sense of duty to the common folk as their protector, and he loved being among the normal residents of the isles more than being stuck in the castle. He gained a lot of respect from the common folk, as he was just as likely to rescue a child from a tree as slay a dragon. He was given the moniker “The Golden Lion”, partly due to his appearance and partly for his displays of bravery.

Ambrose was a skilled warrior and a ruthless fighter. Blinded by his loyalty, he relished in pursuing and defeating Belos’ enemies, believing himself to be the arbiter of justice. It wasn’t until he became close to other witches at court, including the skeptical and brooding Darius, that he started to realise his own hand in people’s suffering and question Belos’ orders. He confronted the Emperor, announcing he could no longer carry out his duty as the Golden Guard, and tried to leave, but was imprisoned. When Belos realised that Ambrose was no longer loyal to him, he gave him one last chance to pledge allegiance. Ambrose refused, despite Darius’ advice, and was executed for treason… (or was he?)
