Tom Hiddleston Characters: How They Act When They Have a Crush (on You)
(Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or images. This is just a fun listicle, not designed to offend anyone. As always, please feel free to leave comments and/or constructive criticism below. Thank you, and without any further ado, please enjoy!)
Characters in this list: Will Ransome, King Henry V, Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim, Bill Hazeldine, Coriolanus, Jonathan Pine, Robert Laing, Magnus Martinsson, Oakley, Thomas Sharpe, and Jaguar Villain! Tom Hiddleston.
Will Ransome from The Essex Serpent
Tumblr media
Will Ransome having a crush on you would include him offering small bunches of flowers to you whenever he saw you. He would eagerly explain to you the names of the flowers and where they were to be found in Aldwinter. And he would love it whenever you showed interest in the topics he discussed during his weekly sermons at the church, losing track of time while he answered your questions and offered additional commentary.
Despite being very nervous about saying something inappropriate, Will also finds a way to give you a genuine compliment every time you meet, whether it's about the way you styled your hair or the color of your outfit.
When you're not around, he'd fantasize about what it'd be like to be intimate with you. Not necessarily intimate a sexual manner - he would imagine holding hands with you, reading to you while you were curled up in his lap, spending a cold morning under a warm blanket with you, and playing with his dog in the springtime. Will would dream of a life with you, and pray to God that He keeps the two of you together.
King Henry V from The Hollow Crown
Tumblr media
King Henry's crush on you began during your betrothal to him. You were brought to meet him for the first time and your father signed the agreement solidifying your family's alliance to the young king of England. 
With one look, Henry found himself bewitched by you, declaring that you must be a goddess like Venus or a maiden of heavenly beauty like Helen of Troy. After signing the agreement, Henry would take great interest in showing you around the palace (with a chaperone present of course. Medieval courting. XD). He'd study your face as the two of you went to different rooms - the gardens, the throne room, the library, the king's study - so he could figure out which places you liked the best.
After you had gone home, Henry would ask his men to find out everything they could about you: your favorite flower, your favorite food(s), your favorite fragrance. He wanted to make sure that your new chamber in the palace would be perfect for you.
He would take immense delight in seeing you smile, feeling his own heart skip a beat every time you laughed. When you were alone, he might nervously tell you a flirtatious joke, feeling relieved when you giggled. Maybe if he was feeling bold, he would sweet-talk you into holding his hand (with your consent, of course) and letting him kiss your perfect lips. 
Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim from the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Tumblr media
("A god doesn't have crushes, Ruhi!"
"Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that.")
Loki having a crush on you would include him showing off his tricks and illusions in the hopes that it would amaze you. He'd take great pleasure in making you laugh, whether it's through a witty joke or a prank (even if Thor is the butt of said prank). 
He would be mesmerized whenever you showed off your talents, like singing, dancing, hand-to-hand combat, writing, or even vocal impressions. Loki would be your biggest cheerleader, applauding each and every time, encouraging you to hone your skills further.  (Shit, now I'm thinking of Loki holding green pom-poms…what have I done?) 
When he's alone, Loki would think about you, wondering if you liked him too. He might even keep a journal titled with your name, a dedicated place for him to write about all the details that he adores about you. 
Loki would sometimes watch you from afar (not necessarily in a creepy, stalking way), and conjure little presents and trinkets to make you feel better when you were upset. He would grow jealous whenever another person tries to make a move on you, and would either intercept them or simply persuade you to turn your attention elsewhere. 
For the record, it would take a bit of teasing from Thor (or Lady Frigga - dear autocorrect, stop changing her name to Fridge) in order to get Loki to confess his attraction to you. 
Bill Hazeldine from Suburban Shootout
Tumblr media
Bill having a crush on you would include him helping you out whenever possible, carrying groceries to your home, making sure you got home safely at night, or letting you stand under his umbrella whenever it unexpectedly rained. (*insert Rihanna reference here*) 
Bill would be keen to listen to you talk about anything, he absolutely enjoys the sound of your voice as if it were his personal radio show. And at home, Bill would gush about you to his parents, showering you with plenty of praise in your absence. 
He would long for the chance to ask you out on a date but every time you say his name, his tongue goes numb and he forgets the words that he mentally rehearsed several times.
Caius Martius Coriolanus from Coriolanus
Tumblr media
Caius having a crush on you would include him being surprised at first, thinking such a feeling to be beneath him. He is a general, he must always be in control (if you know which film this is from, tell me so I can give you a Tumblr hug). 
He would take his time, keeping his adoration a secret, sending his servants to find out about your background. And every time he saw you in the town square, he would stare but quickly turn away once you caught him.  Eventually, he would accept that his feelings for you were not some passing fancy but a genuine love for you. He would think about your charms, your beauty, your smile, and wish to have it all for himself.
When he is working, his army colleagues would tease him about his affections, badgering him with questions about you. Of course, Caius would be quick to lose his temper, barking at them to mind their own business.
Caius would try to get your attention by inviting your family for supper, sending a servant to your home bearing a letter that described his interest in you. He would have his servants prepare the best dishes for your family, knowing that he will need to make a good impression as a worthy suitor for you.
When interacting with you, Caius would speak in soft, dulcet tones, asking if you were enjoying the food and if you were comfortable. You would be the only person that could make Caius laugh, let alone smile. 
Jonathan Pine from The Night Manager
Tumblr media
Jonathan having a crush on you would include him conveying his affection through polite gestures, like asking about your day whenever you saw him in the lobby. He would listen to you rant about almost anything, like your favorite book or your favorite film actor. He would keep your favorite magazine reserved for you, save a plate of food if he knew you were going to have a long night.
If you were in the hotel when your birthday rolled around, he would use some of his savings to buy you a small present, be it a box of sweets or a piece of jewelry. 
He wouldn't talk much about himself with you, given his dark, troubling past, but he would be very protective towards you. Jonathan would do anything and everything in his power to make sure that nobody hurt you, or used you as some type of bait to get to him.
Robert Laing from High-Rise
Tumblr media
Robert having a crush on you would include him bringing coffee to you in the morning, just so he can see you before going off to work at the medical school. 
He would remember each and every thing about your interactions. If you told him that your favorite scent was gardenia flowers, then he'd switch his usual cologne for one that smelled more like gardenia flowers. He'd even buy a tie that was your favorite color.
If the two of you were ever at a party, Robert would keep a subtle eye on you, prepared to knock anyone out if they ever got too handsy with you. He'd also silently hope that at one point during the night, you would approach him, a slow song would start to play, and you would put your arms around his neck, looking into his eyes…
Yeah, for someone who looks very detached from most things, Robert would be very, very attached to you.
Magnus Martinsson from Wallander
Tumblr media
Magnus having a crush on you would include plenty of teasing from his work colleagues at the police station. In front of them, he'd pretend to be all tough about it, denying as much as he can. But on the inside, Magnus would literally be putty in your hands.
He would buy flowers for you, often leaving them at your doorstep because of his odd hours. Whenever the two of you happened to meet, Magnus would feel elated whenever you recognized him.
It would take some egging from his colleagues or even Wallander himself to get Magnus to stop admiring you from afar and just ask you out for a drink.
Oakley from Unrelated
Tumblr media
Oakley having a crush on you would include him doing a lot of tricks to impress you (like backflips in the air or putting out a match with his tongue). He'd love to show off in front of you, even if it means his friends teasing him about it. He'd flex his muscles (he has them, right?), brag about how good of a swimmer he is, and act like he's not afraid of any challenge. 
Behind doors, he'd also do a lot of the cheesy things, like writing your first name with his last name in a notebook, or listing everything he likes about you.
Thomas Sharpe from Crimson Peak
Tumblr media
Thomas having a crush on you would include him stealing glances at you from across the ballroom while you socialize with other guests. In public, Thomas would do a double take whenever you walked by.
Even though his sister keeps an iron grip on Thomas, he would still find a way to offer you compliments. He would tell you about the beautiful color of your eyes, the loveliness of your hairstyle, and the aesthetic appeal of your outfit.
And in private, he would write letters addressed to you - letters that he may or may not ever send to you, letters entailing each and every thing he enjoyed about you, letters that described everything he wished to do with you. One of the letters consisted of his wish to dance with you under the stars of Paris, and hold you in his arms while you gazed at the Eiffel tower.
Jaguar!Tom Hiddleston
Tumblr media
Tom doesn't have "crushes"; he's a pretty guarded person, so he either falls hard, or not at all.
Tom being interested in you would include him bringing you plenty of luxurious gifts (Godiva chocolates, Chanel perfume, the latest designer gowns, your own 2-bedroom flat in London) and making time for you in his busy schedule. 
He wold always have his chauffeurs pick you up from work/school, just to make sure that you're in safe hands.
When you're together, Tom would enjoy stealing an occasional kiss and surprising you with romantic gestures. On your birthday, he made entire city blackout except for London Bridge, which was lit up in your favorite color. He even booked a private theater just for the two of you, and had a showing of your favorite movie or play.
And if anyone tries to hit on you or be inappropriate with you? Be prepared to hear about their "mysterious disappearance" on the news the next day.

Have you listened to Manu's interview yet really good stuff and she talks about how Beth makes her laugh everyday!
Tbh, I hadn't listened to it when I got this ask, so I did! Thank you for recommending it's a very good interview.
And yes, she sang high praises about Beth being the biggest cheerleader, how she lifts everyone's moods from the moment she walks into the changing room, and how she makes her (Manu) laugh every day!
I think like Viv said in Beth's contract video, which was filmed within weeks of her injury, they missed her the moment she wasn't there and they missed her more and more as the months went on... Same with England, hence why both teams have flocked to her since the moment she returned. She is genuinely the brightest spark. ✨️💖

Happy (filthy) WIP Wednesday, lovely people!
I was tagged by the wonderful @typicalopposite, thank you! (Who also just put up 8k words of David the dog on AO3 that yall should check out!!)
On six sentence Sunday I shared some from baby’s first NSFW fic and since I have been doing nothing but writing this, I’m gonna share more. This fic has turned extremely filthy so I’m opting for some of the…safer moments in this post, but just know when it finally comes to light that it will be sordid. Here we go!
“You’re staring at me,” Henry says when he looks up from the dishes and finds Alex’s eyes on him.
“I’m staring at you.” The words come out low, from the back of Alex’s throat, and Henry feels his heartbeat quicken just a touch, his blood running warm. The hot water runs from the faucet, steam swirling around them, and it sluices over Henry’s soft hands. Alex reaches into the sink and grabs Henry’s hands, his own getting wet in the process, and pulls him against his chest. He is kissing Henry’s neck, sucking gently at the soft flesh, mouthing along his jaw.
Henry’s body answers for him, moving without thinking, touching Alex in earnest, his hair, his neck, his shoulders, his back, his ass. Alex takes a rough nip of Henry’s left earlobe, and Henry gasps, arches his back, moans.
“I missed you…so…fucking…much,” Alex says, punctuating each word with sloppy kisses, slipping his still-damp hands underneath Henry’s shirt and gripping his hips.
“God, I missed you, too,” Henry says, but it comes out in a low moan, more garbled than not, through a haze of pleasure.
“I can tell,” Alex mutters, reaching his hand down and palming Henry’s dick, already hard, through his trousers. He pulls back and leaves Henry lurching forward, and looks him in the eyes. “Let me take care of this,” Alex says, his hand still covering Henry’s bulge.
Big thanks to @england-would-fall for being my biggest cheerleader for this fic (and if you like any of it or end up liking the finished product, thank her because I’m still half-convinced it’s shite and she makes me keep going)
Tagging: @sunnysideprince @luainthewild and duh @england-would-fall and anyone who might like to!

Ted Lasso S3 predictions
My predictions before the show is aired. Some have been influenced by SPOILERS (but not too much) so that's a warning.
Ted goes back to Kansas to raise his son. Maybe one reason Jason says the story they have to tell is done, is because there might be an epilogue “a few years later”? Because you can't write more to a story if you jump ahead years and people are apart. A rom com type moment? on the top of the Empire State Building?
Rebecca comes into her own as an owner, falling in love with the game, her boys & herself. She lets go of her hatred of Rupert. Maybe apologizes to the team for what she did in S1? She softens & starts to have feelings for Ted (& vice versa).
If they develop feelings in the last episode or two, maybe a kiss and/or an airport scene? But it’s not yet their time. Ted needs to be with his son. Rebecca is NOT a Kansas girl. So therefore, a reunion via an epilogue.
Roy & Keeley endgame. Funnily enough, a break-up could speed things up in terms of their decisions: whether to marry, children, etc. It’s a short-cut to determine “forever”. They both deal with their insecurities & “save” each other.
Roy deals with whatever trauma he’s been holding in. I want this to be brought on by Keeley but I think some is let out in Ep2 with the team? Maybe starts an academy with Rebecca for Richmond. Boys & girls training together; a focus on a well-rounded upbringing.
Keeley continues to run her own company. She faces imposter syndrome, maybe sabotage by someone (Rupert), maybe things fall to pieces & Roy’s right there to help. We get her backstory, finally. Also, Keeley might get to a point where she needs a client & West Ham might be there. She’ll have to face those decisions & maybe a fallout with Rebecca for a time.
One reason I’ve felt Rupert is doing illegal things is 1) the show’s indictment on billionaires 2) I think Higgins & Keeley will discover things about him that ultimately saves and protects Rebecca (re:Sam) & her ownership, which is why I think Keeley may end up willingly or unwillingly working for Rupert (as per the hint in S2). Maybe that Rupert cooked the books OR maybe phone hacking as that was a big thing with Rupert Murdoch’s tabloids in England years ago.
I think Beard will stay in England & coach. Hopefully, he’ll be able to have a healthier relationship. Perhaps a new character will be introduced near the end? Funny thing is I don’t hate Jane. I think she loves Beard but she needs help.
Nate is eventually forgiven. I have no clue if they’ll deal with the repercussions of what he did to Keeley to my satisfaction. He’ll return to Richmond, maybe as an assistant coach. There will be forgiveness but at a cost. I don’t think others can forgive as easily as Ted.
Sam will be an eventual captain whether it’s Richmond or somewhere else. Roy’s been guiding him. Maybe the Nigerian national team? He will find that Richmond is his home. Maybe meet someone? (Forgot that I think he’ll face bigger repercussions, for his Dubai protest and Rupert & Dick Cole will be out to get him with potential racial overtones. Edwin Akufo is also after him.)
Jamie will make the English National team. He’ll repair his relationship with his mother & come to terms with his abuse. He’ll become the team’s biggest cheerleader, as well as biggest supporter of Roy & Keeley as a couple.
Colin comes out which is a big decision. The team is supportive. My craziest theory is that Isaac is his partner but he chooses not to come out. It’s a risk he’s not willing to take. There’s been some hints along the way… could just be best friends but it would be interesting.
Trent writes the book an in-depth sports book about the team’s journey.

And how is Charlie?? im shifting to date him lol
this is the best question ever. my actual best friend. charlie stans ily
he's an outrageous drama queen. it's actually blasphemous honestly. like boy you are not going to die from a paper cut be for real
he loves to dance. he is not good at it but he loves to do it. his dancing is mostly just twirling around but it's okay
will flirt with you to antagonize you BUT only if you've explicitly stated you don't mind it. he double and tripled checked to make sure it wasn't something that was making me uncomfortable bc he's a gentleman
he's been my number one supporter since day 1 in literally anything. if i told him i wanted to usurp the queen of england he would support it
soooo competitive. will turn anything into a competition
actually a massive cheesy nerd but will deny it until the day he dies. he cares so much about his friends it's insane
very affectionate even in strictly platonic relationships. he just always wants to be touching someone somehow
going off of that, touch is very much his love language
actually very talented when it comes to music, he plays guitar, sax and a little bit of drums in my dr
he doesn't sing often but he very much can
he hates studying not because he doesn't value his education but because he simply cannot focus on something that is not stimulating his brain for more than 5 seconds
i've probably said this 400 times already but HE IS THE BIGGEST CHEERLEADER EVER!!! everyone's biggest fan and i stand by that.
we're very polar opposite people but he can still match my energy when i need it
but sometimes i need the hyperactivity that is charlie
but he can tell when i just need him to be there and be chill
sarcastic as all hell, can and will be a little shit if possible
"hey charlie can you pass me that?" "um, no." as he's passing it to you type of shit
he definitely gets me out of my shell a lot and it's one of the reasons we are so close
i benefit from the confidence he exudes and he likes having someone around that doesn't expect him to be at 1000% all the time
that's all i can think to say rn but this was so much fun to write!!! charlie is my bff in my dr so writing about him comes super easy :) hope this was good!!

Okay look. I am reading Red White and Royal Blue. The movie, while in spirit in some ways has captured the same heart, is like Guardian cdrama to Guardian novel. I love them both and they're both a bit different experiences. But wow does it feel GOOD to watch a movie that makes me smile and my heart ache with things i relate to as well as happy moments I long to have. And on that note, a list of queer romance movies I recommend for cheering you up on a heavy day:
Red White and Royal Blue: theres a touch of realism in how it hits the heart, a heaping helping of fantastical with the premise of son of the president getting with the prince of england, a dollop of politics (which I've not seen in a romcom before much so I was happy for it, but if you want more get the book), a lot of loving references to the 90s kids generation in a way that makes this romcom hit in a way old 90s romcoms never could For Me be as close to home, and it's just <3 it's The Romcom for me.
But I'm a Cheerleader: gay conversion camp but make it campy, save the queers and help us love ourselves and accept we can be Whoever We Are (a message that applies to all watcher honestly), a very loving make love scene with violins that rwrb's scene reminded me of (in a good way, queer movies deserve more of this tbh), natasha Leone and Clea Duvall and Dante Basco (I'm gayer just reading that), and best of all? The cheerleader falls in love and her love chooses her back. This is THE first truly happy queer romance film I watched as a teenager, had a happier outcome than my own life at the time, and really made me believe I deserved happiness and good things and that I belonged to existing in this world as myself as much as anyone does. The overt queer politics in this film means it might hit too close to home if you're not up for that, but it's handled with humor (a LOT like rwrb handles politics) and so I'd say if you're looking for political and optimistic? This is another excellent choice. This will forever be one of my favorite movies.
DEBS: I especially recommend this to any queer teen girls out there, and any former teen girls who wished they had their own teen romcoms with lesbians growing up! It's like Agent Cody Banks meets Charlie's Angels, tonally it's Totally Spies and Teen Movie 100%, so it's silly and campy and nothing is ever actually horrifically serious and sad. A teen spy girl (our Charlie's angels for queer teen girls) falls in love with Lucy Diamond, the biggest Super Villian in the world. What ensues is falling in love, overcoming differences, overcoming heteronormativity, and friends loving and supporting you when push comes to shove. It is absolutely a fun action romance romp for queer girls. It's Charlie's angels if they were all gay and made for the queer girls to crush on Especially. It's delightful and lighthearted and fun.

here for the oc ask game!!! can i get 🎵✉️😊🎶😱⚾️ for maggie, hugh and violet please!
Thank you so much for your ask Jules.
🎵How do they sound? Accents/ common phrases etc
Maggie: so Maggie is from Dorset in the South of England (near the bottom of England between Hampshire and Devon along the coast) the Dorset accent is a very country accent, a lot of dropping H’s, accentuated vowel sounds, although Maggie doesn’t have a really strong Dorset accent because that’s hard to understand 😂
Hugh: Hugh is from Missouri, USA so he has a general American/ Midwest dialect. He has a very subtle twang sometimes where he'll pronounce words all the r's in certain words etc
Violet: Violet is from Morgan City Louisiana. She doesn't have a very thick southern drawl but she sometimes talks really slowly and sometimes she reeling off her sentences. She doesn't really drop in any Cajun French like Gene does although she does know it.
✉️ How would they react to a love letter?
Maggie: I feel like Maggie would be shocked to start with. She’s never really had any men show her interest. Being an RAF mechanic isn’t exactly every man’s dream lady. She feel very privileged and she gets this little smile on her face that no matter what the day threw at her, she’d be smiling. The second she read it I feel like she’d be running to tell her best friend Archie, especially if the letter was anonymous. He’s always playing match maker so she’d have to go and consult her love guru.
Hugh: Hugh is a ladies man. He’s definitely had his fair share of dear John letters and he thrives off the attention. Deep down though he would love to find a nice girl to settle down with. I feel like he keeps the stack of letters he’s received from different women in his bedside draw.
Violet: she is gonna be grinning all day, especially if it’s from her beloved Gene. I think she’d definitely be writing a letter back as soon as possible too. She’s a hopeless romantic at heart.
😊 Something that always makes them smile
Maggie: June never fails to make Maggie smile, no matter how bad a day she’s having that little spaniel is everything. On occasion Archie has been known to make her smile too, when he isn’t trying to set her up with an American.
Hugh: Dare I say Hope and Gale together. Despite his protective big brother nature he is Hope and Gale’s biggest supported. He’s their little cheerleader and if Hope is happy then he’s happy.
Violet: nature. Violet loves being outside in the sunshine enjoying the beauty of the world around her. Whether that be out by the lake with Gene or on a boat trip she loves it.
🎶 A song that reminds you of your oc?
Maggie: Gone, Gone,Gone by Phillip Phillips
Hugh: Candyman by Christina Aguilera
Violet: Paper Rings by Taylor Swift
😱 What's their biggest fear?
Maggie: failing her pilots. She takes her job to heart and any time a bomber doesn’t return she feels responsible likely she should have made sure the plane was safer for them. Each loss she takes to heart.
Hugh: loosing his younger sister, Hope. She means the world to him and being the protective big brother he is, he would do anything to protect her.
Violet: Loosing Gene. He means everything to her and she couldn’t live without him. He introduced her to a whole new world and new experiences.
⚾️ Does your oc have a hobby?
Maggie: she’s an avid cricket fan. She used to watch games on the village green with her father from a young age. She also very good at the game although it is frowned upon at she plays. However, she does learn to love baseball too when she notices some similarity between the games.
Hugh: he’s a huge baseball fan, has been all his life. He supports the St Louis Cardinals and has been to more of their games than he can count. He is definitely playing baseball in his downtime and probably even tried setting up a team once.
Violet: she loves sewing and knitting. She’s very good at make do and mend when resources are rationed and is good at repairing clothes etc. She often spends time sewing with her mother and sisters.

Here's something different, pages from two failed projects I attempted to develop. These are both from around 2018.
The concept behind Deadend Diva was casting the sterotypical head cheerleader / mean girl / queen bee of any teenage/disney channel series as the main character of the narrative. In this case, our spoiled rich girl is forced to leave her "position" when she transfers from a Californian High School to a private boarding institute in New England. In this new enviroment she comes to blow with another Alpha Bitch who already rules the school. Why New England? Because this was a horror comedy and there was going to be lovecraftian shit happening in the background. I had envisioned Deadend Diva as a long running series, and from the get go, I wanted to partner up with an artist to make it (back then I still considered myself more a writer than an artist). I had contacted a few, and they all seemed to like it, some were even enthusiastic but just didn't have the time in their schedule. Finally I managed to get one on board, so I sent them the "pitch screenplay" and I don't wanna say they ghosted me, but, I never heard from them again... after a bit, I just stopped asking around. One of my biggest weaknesses as a creator is that I barely plan. I throw myself into projects with just the sketch of an idea, or the drive to put to paper an idea I had. This very often results in aborted projects that are nothing but three or four strung together pages with some elaborate visual trying to back up the lack of meat. This is what happened to SMILE! I was experimenting with my artstyle, going for a photorealistic but semi-finished look, with tons of crosshatching and elaborate frills on the lineart. The story itself was a spy thriller full of betrayals and backstabbing that I was trying to make purposely contrived, obtuse, and difficult to parse because that's a great idea!

Day One Hundred Seventy-Seven
A bunch of my ninth graders are determined to improve their grades in World before the school year ends, and, obviously, I am being their biggest cheerleader. Some are transforming failing grades to passing ones, others are inching their Bs to As, and so on. I think the success they experienced throughout this unit gave them a solid confidence boost. Or maybe something else did it, or their parents are after them to do better, whatever. The point is that they’re working hard and making progress, and I love that.
Today, they tackled their last vocabulary quiz of the year. There were twenty vocab words in the unit; students taking the course for honors credit wrote the definitions, the others did multiple choice, and I gave everyone up to twenty minutes to study beforehand. They could take less time than that, too, of course. And, once they finished taking the quiz, they resumed work on their multigenre projects. 
I asked them all to work silently and remain in their usual seats until everyone was done with the quiz. In the past, that would’ve been a tough ask for my Block 2 students, but not today. There were a handful of boys who took noticeably more time to finish their quizzes than their classmates (one came in late, the other two were just determined to remember the definitions they needed to), but, you know what? It was pin drop silent until they all finished because we’ve also gotten to the point, as a class, that it’s a community lifting each other up. And that’s so cool.
So, once everyone finished the quizzes- in both sections- I thanked them all for maintaining the positive environment, quickly did the graded, and then handed the quizzes back to much celebration. I think a lot of students got their best quiz grades ever, their first 100s, etc... So that was awesome. 
And projects are coming along well, too! I looked over a few pieces today, all of which were really good. I also helped a few students come up with ideas for what to do next. No one seems pressured by the deadline (Next Thursday), so I really think having them plan out each day in advance was a good call. 
Funny moment: one of the boys in Block 2 called me over and asked me for help understanding some parts of an the article he was reading (about the wildfires in Canada). Then he said, “You have.a lot of knowledge, Miss M.” I thanked him for the compliment, but added, “Only in the subject I teach. Ask me about algebra, and I’ve got nothing.” 
Cue offers to teach me how to do quadratics. 
Heh.
So it’s June, and my students are working hard, and we’re having fun. And, out on the track, the girls who will be racing at New England’s also worked hard and had fun today at practice. They did some starts, some strides, some goofy dance moves to the music Coach T put on over the speakers... They’re ready to run fast.
Can’t ask for more than that, can I?

Stranded at the drivin', branded a fool
What will they say Monday at school?
Dame Olivia Newton-John was born in Cambridge-England on 26 September 1948. She moved to Australia with her family when her father took up a post as a professor at the University of Melbourne.
“Grease” (1978), The film, based on the long-running Broadway musical comedy about a 1950s high school,exchange student and cheerleader, Sandy, who falls for John Travolta a boy gang leader, Danny.
The film was the biggest box-office hit of 1978 and gave Newton-John three hit singles, You're The One That I Want, Hopelessly Devoted to You and Summer Nights as well as a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.
For everyone who ever saw Grease (which, I’m guessing, is most of us), who sang along to Summer Nights and fell in love with her portrayal of Sandy, Olivia Newton-John will always have a very special place in our hearts.💔

Being an Olympian (hc)
A/n: I have been watching the olympics recently and it inspired me to write this but I don't know that much about all the sports so sorry if you do any of these and I get things wrong
George:
He is so proud of you that all of your training has allowed you to fulfil your dream of going to the olympics, of course he is sad that he can't watch you compete for the first time but he will be up at whatever time your heats or finals are just to watch you.
Watching you do all the tricks and flips you do as a gymnast he gets scared hoping that you won't fall even though he knows you will be fine because you've done these routines a million times he can't help but worry. Will cheer out loud when you get a really good score and when one of your competitors messes up because he knows that it's good for your competition.
You are in the individual all around final and a few apparatus finals which he watches intently right to the last second. Loved seeing your reaction when you won your medals and of course was so proud of you calling you the second he could to celebrate with you seeing as there wasn't really anyone there for you to enjoy the moment with.
When you come home he picks you up from the airport greeting you with the biggest hug and flowers because he's just that cute. He also love seeing your medals and is surprised by how heavy they are, would definitely call Dream and Sapnap to show them your medals and brag about how cool you are for going to the Olympics.
Dream:
He knows very little about volleyball despite how much you try to explain it but he will suddenly become very interested when you actually make it into the Olympic team and will try his best to learn everything from you before you leave.
Will get up at whatever hour to watch your game and cheers you on as loudly as he can even though you can't hear him and he annoys Sapnap who eventually just decided to join him in watching because it's easier so you have two cheerleaders back home. He often records small parts of the games and puts them on Twitter to tell people to watch and cheer you on as well.
After each game he will call you and either celebrate with you if you won but if you lost or weren't happy with how you performed he would help you look at what to do better for your next match. Of course he's no expert and your coach is there to help with that but hearing some things from him is actually useful sometimes.
In the final he is on the edge of his seat the whole time hands sweating from his anxiousness he is watching you knowing that you are so close to achieving your dream at your first olympics. When you score the final point giving your team gold he jumps up off his seat and runs round the living room he's so excited.
Once your back home he gives you the biggest hug and takes pictures of you with your medal and might post one because he's just so proud. May also steal your medal sometimes just to look at it because he thinks it's so cool.
Sapnap:
He is your biggest supporter and will come to training with you sometimes even though he can't swim anywhere near as fast as you but he will time you to see if you are up to pace which of course you are. When you set a really fast time he will get so excited and will give you a hug even though you are soaking wet.
When your races actually come around he's more nervous than anything because he knows that you have set such high expectations for yourself and he really wants you to meet them. He gets stressed just watching your heats but you make it through with the fastest time which helps him keep calm. Dream would also watch because Sapnap would beg him to even though he probably would anyway but dream has to keep him calm or else Sapnap would bounce off the walls.
By the time your final came around Sapnap almost couldn't watch because she knew that this was your chance to win the medal you have been training so hard for for years. In the last few seconds he was watching through his hands because it was so close between you and the person in the lane next to you but when you touched the side first he sprung up from his position and jumped up and down for ages.
You also do a relay in which your team gets second so you have two medals to bring home. You show him your medals over FaceTime and the smile on his face says everything, he's so proud of you for doing so well after working so hard. While on FaceTime he takes a bunch of screenshots of you with your medals and then he takes more actual pictures when you get home.
Sapnap would definitely brag about it on stream and show people your medals because he's so proud, the chat are also so happy for you because Sapnap had mentioned before just how much you had been training.
Quackity:
Since you do athletics he will come out in runs with you and go to the track with you even though he is always way behind he enjoys watching you run. He has been to all of your previous completions so he’s sad that he can't watch you at the biggest competition of the season but he is supporting from home.
He can't bare to watch you on his own so he will watch your races with your family which creates such a nice atmosphere which even though you can’t see he knows you can feel them supporting you. Is always available to give you a pep talk before you race or after a heat he is there to tell you how well you did. As much as you have an actual coach he is just as good in motivating you and he’s learnt a lot from your actual coach so can give pretty good feedback after each of your runs and isn't afraid to tell you what you could do better.
After you finish second in your heat still qualifying for the final he's so happy but gives you a bit of advice on how you can do better in the actual final which you take on board and use to win the gold medal. The medal ceremony is an emotional moment for him because he can see the huge smile on your face and remembers all the times you've talked about winning even just a bronze and been so excited but seeing you on the top step does make him shed a few tears.
When you come back home he definitely films a video with you called something like racing an Olympic runner where he gets you to show off your skills to his audience who may not have seen you race. He definitely loses the race but he's ok with it because the whole point really was for people to watch you.
Karl:
He is excited to watch you dive at the top level but also a bit scared because he knows that if things don't go right you can get injured and you have only just recovered from an ankle injury you got during training so safe to say he's a bit anxious watching you.
Luckily the synchronised diving is up first when you and your partner are diving together, watching that calms his nerves slightly because he sees you perform so well and only just lose out of the gold medal by 0.5 of a point. Talking with you after the competition also helps because you say that you are feeling on good form and he trusts your knowledge of your ability.
When it comes to your individual event he sets up an alt stream to watch it because he's way to nervous to watch it on his own. A bunch of his friends join a discord call and watch it with him cheering you on along with the chat who were really engrossed in the competition. The reaction when the score for your last dive comes in is ecstatic because there is almost no way anyone could beat you and when the last score came in Karl was jumping around, the chat were going crazy as well as everyone in the discord call. Karl also called you before he ended stream so that one he could talk to you and two thr chat could hear from you.
Does a proper stream when you get back so that the chat can see your medals and ask you questions which was really fun and it’s so cool to hear from people who are now inspired to take up diving because of you.
Wilbur:
He is so proud of you for being able to get to the olympics but because of how strict the lockdown has been in England he is worried about how little you have practiced and trained over the past year but of course he still has faith in you he just doesn’t want you to hurt yourself. Was also gutted he couldn’t go out there with you especially because it’s your first olympics and he so desperately wanted to support you and be there in person to cheer you on.
Watching you practice and watch videos of your past performances has helped him learn how you actually do the high jump so when you start in the first round he can tell that he didn’t need to worry because you are jumping super well. Setting up a makeshift bar in the living room obviously did some good for you because you were looking really good.
Once you made it to the final 8 is when he got most nervous because all of the others were looking great too and the person who had beat you at some world championships was there doing well too. He had faith in you though because he had watched most of your recent practices and you have been really close to beating your personal best so when of it comes to that he thinks you can do it.
It really did get down to that and you had to try going above your personal best but you did it first attempt so you were celebrating and so was he. That height knocked out a few people leaving only you and one person left fighting for gold. You just kept going somehow even though you’ve never made it to these heights before and then it got to above the Olympic record height which is when he started biting his nails with worry. Your competitor failed all 3 of their attempts and you still had one left and you made it meaning not only had you won the gold medal but you hold the Olympic record.
Is so excited for you to get home because he just wants to give you a hug and tell you how well you did not just over FaceTime. He was there for the second you got off the flight and picked you up to give you the tightest hug he could. You also had a lot of interviews to do which usually aren’t your thing so he helps you get though them with his media experience and now the nation loves you because of how sweet you are in all the interviews you do.

If RWRB and Young Royals were in the same universe:
Alex and Simon literally get on so well it’s scary
Like they will literally gossip in Spanish and talk about their idiot royal boyfriends
And don’t even get me started on Wilhelm and Henry
After he finds out about August, he turns to Henry because he has literally no one else and he is the one person who understands his situation
They quickly become close and are the reason why Alex and Simon met
It’s Alex’s idea to have June write a story revealing the news that it was August who leaked the video
Sometimes Simon will call Alex literally just to talk shit about the monarchy
And vice versa
Simon literally adores David
He would literally fly to England purely to see David
Simon and Wilhelm get an automatic invite to any parties thrown by either Alex or Henry
Henry got Wilhelm to give Alex Simon’s number, explaining that Simon also has no one who can relate to his situation
For some reason I feel like Sara would get on well with Nora
Like if she got with Felice (which she 100% has to in season 2) she could go to Nora for advice
And neither of them has great social skills, for various reasons, so they could be comfortable in each other’s company without the usual expectations that come from social interaction
Henry is the one who convinces Wilhelm to come out, showing him the public reaction to his and Alex’s relationship
He also promises to defend him from Queen Kristina, if necessary, knowing how much he appreciated his mother’s support from Queen Mary
The Super Six are just about the biggest cheerleaders for Simon and Wilhelm
There are many posts on all their Instagram accounts of the eight of them spending time together
There is more than one offer to beat the crap out of August
Henry gets Simon and Wilhelm pride pins
The Super Six practically adopt Simon and Wilhelm
Nora worked out the calculations that eventually help to convince Wilhelm to come out, likelihood of public support etc.
Wilhelm and Henry secretly learn Spanish to surprise their respective SOs
They meet up every year for Pride Month and they all post group pictures with them all dressed in as much rainbow clothing as possible
They definitely have a karaoke night at some point
Alex has the bright idea of doing it in the Swedish palace, purely to piss off Queen Kristina who, for the sake of international relations, cannot possibly refuse. 
Simon and Wilhelm decided to keep Simon’s incredible voice a secret, so they could laugh at the others expressions when they heard him singing
Wilhelm recorded it and posted it on his Instagram story
The looks could be described as awe and complete shock
Alex worked with Simon to help him become known for things other than the tape
After Simon confided how uncomfortable he felt whenever anyone he didn’t know looked at him because he felt like they were looking because of the tape, Alex came up with some ideas
They started off small, posting pictures on his, Henry’s, Nora’s and June’s Instagram of them spending time together
The singing became one, considering he could sing in English, Swedish and Spanish
Alex’s coming out speech is what gave Simon the courage to come out to his family
He and Wilhelm want to be given the chance to give other young queer people the same feeling
Which is why when Wilhelm finally does his own coming out speech, Simon is stood right beside him, in a show of support as much as anything
(The Super Six are also stood in the crowd, a big contribution to the cheering at the end of the speech)
It takes a while for Simon to accept that the Six are all his friends just as much as they are Wille’s, since he doesn’t think he belongs there. 
He’s not rich, or a royal, or the son of a President.
It’s Alex and June who reassure him by telling him about their poorer upbringing and telling him they understand how he feels, but that all of them love both Simon and Wilhelm equally and love them like their own family
The eight of them are one big family

Mušović: "Did I have to accept that I would shut up"
Tumblr media
COBHAM. Zećira Mušović no longer takes the bike to Chelsea's training facility, otherwise everything goes as planned in England.
The goalkeeper belongs to one of the world's most successful club teams and national teams ... but do not think she is happy to be second.
- Are you kidding? I love to support my teammates, always, but I'm not there to be a cheerleader, says the 25-year-old in a big interview with Sportbladet.
It is not until the end of the interview that Zećira Mušović is reminded of the thoughts that were spinning in her head quite exactly a year earlier.
By then, the goalkeeper had finished his eighth - and final - season with FC Rosengård and finished with one of the world's biggest clubs, Chelsea. Now she would celebrate Christmas with the family before moving to the British Isles.
She could not have felt worse.
- For me, it was shitty. People talked so much about me living the dream in Chelsea but I had anxiety the last two weeks because it was my biggest nightmare to leave my family. Leave the security. Then I actually thought; do I even want to go? Why am I even doing this?
full screen
"Everyone came in nice cars - and I on a bicycle"
We are sitting in a café in Cobham, a small community in Surrey, south of London. With only 9,736 inhabitants, the village is little more than a train station, horse paddocks, British picturesque (but expensive) houses and greedy cars with tires that can handle muddy ground.
And so a training facility of course. In football parlance, "Cobham" refers more to Chelsea's premises and successful academy rather than a place where people actually live.
For the first time in England, it was also Mušović's home. One of her demands in connection with the signing of the contract was an apartment with cycling distance to the training, just like in Malmö.
- I have cycled twice, max. There are no bike-friendly sidewalks here, she admits and laughs.
It did not facilitate the introduction of another lockdown the day after the goalkeeper's arrival ("I did not even see London until August"), which meant continued temperature checks and other strict checks at Cobham's gates.
- Everyone got there in their nice cars and then I got on my bike. And this was after two months in the club, so it was not like they knew who I was either!
No more bikes then.
2021 has been a busy year for Mušović. In addition to the transition to English top football, she has had time to go to Japan with the national team where an Olympic silver was secured and also sat in SVT's European Championship studio during the summer as an expert ("Exactly, that happened this year too").
In addition, she is an active voice on social media and in blog form and is never afraid to say what she thinks about a journalist wondering anything. When she shrugs uninterruptedly on the shoulder of the question of whether she accepts if someone does not agree or delivers an unpleasant comment, it feels genuine.
- You have heard a few things. But it all lands in, can I stand behind this and this? If "yes" you can throw as much shit at me as it will just fly by. I stand for what I think and will not duck, says Mušović.
Sometimes, however, journalism can be counterproductive, she says. Since the women's national team players are generally outspoken, it will be easy for heavy, socially oriented subjects to dominate the headlines in connection with a qualifying match or championship.
- It is a pity for women's football in itself that before a match against Finland, the focus is on something completely different than the match against Finland. I have no problem answering questions, I will answer the questions, but is not it a little more fun to talk about football to drive interest?
Do you think there is a risk that people will start to perceive you as whining?
- We always line up, but if nine out of ten questions are about public debates instead of the international match itself, then we will perhaps be seen as the ones who always whine.
Unlike nine out of ten football players, Mušović does not claim that she does not read the newspapers (an otherwise common lie that can often be seen through). I bring up an inconvenient topic that became a thing in connection with teammate Magdalena Eriksson's column and criticism of the World Cup in Qatar and "sportwashing" in general.
Something that later made Sportbladet's columnist Simon Bank wonder why Eriksson did not criticize his own club:
Roman Abramovich is the oligarch who became a billionaire by ruining a generation of post-Soviet workers, the Putin polar bear who bought a football club to gain political immunity, he is accused of donating billions  to groups operating in Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem . And Chelsea are one of the clubs that have helped Russian oil giant Gazprom greenwash their brand. "
Mušović believes that she is not sufficiently familiar with how it went when Abramovich bought the club in 2004 to be able to comment on it.
- Which may sound awful, but I have focused on football. I read Simon Bank's chronicle, the answer to Magda. Somewhere you have to understand that this is what we take internally with the club. We are loyal and professional enough and know ourselves well enough to go out in the media and saw our own club. It is something we handle internally in that case.
Furthermore, she says that everything can be angled in different directions, which is good. Only then can useful discussions be aroused that move society forward.
- I thought Magda was damn cool who took a stand on an important issue, but there are different ways of looking at it. Say I'm getting an email if someone's pissed. Then I think "good!". I've got your attention and that's the most important thing to me. This that everyone should think the same and be friends… it will not develop anything in the long run.
Most striking with the Zećira Mušović sitting in front of me here and there is that she seems to have landed in herself. She describes with warmth how fantastic it is to be part of the "Chelsea family", something that indicates that she did the right thing that left Sweden behind.
- I was probably prepared that it would not feel perfect or familiar, that it would take some time to get into it. But it has felt good since day one. These are really amazing people, I'm just happy to talk about them.
She highlights the goalkeeping coach, Stuart Searle, as important to her development.
- I told him last day that I have started to love the goalkeeper piece in a completely different way because of him and his sense of detail. Without knowing too much what it looks like in other foreign clubs, I probably have a goalkeeping coach in absolute world class.
Although Mušović mentions that it felt good "late day one", it is something that is different now compared to this spring. Personally, I can not put my finger on exactly what it is, just that it has something to do with self-confidence.
The goalkeeper says that although she has great faith in herself, she does not thunder into a new context and is heard and seen ("I am not the one who puts myself on the table the first thing I do and will take over the room"). She gave herself a six-month grooming period at Chelsea, which was mainly about getting used to her new life, both on and off the pitch.
- The first half of the year I had to accept that I would shut up and work hard, learn as much as possible about life in England. But when summer came, I would raise a level and so it was. The first training I just felt "now we drive" and got confirmation that it looked like I had taken steps. So everything goes according to plan.
But one of my questions makes her burn out properly and is related to the fact that she is not yet the first goalkeeper in a club or national team. In Chelsea, the German Ann-Katrin Berger gets to play the majority of the matches (there have been four starts for Mušović this season) and the national team is in an uncertain situation with an aging Hedvig Lindahl and fierce competition from Häcken's Jennifer Falk.
It is hereby announced that Mušović will not be content with being a second or third choice for the rest of his career.
- Are you kidding? That's what I work for every day. I love supporting my teammates, always, but I'm not there to be a cheerleader. It's all about being able to play, that's my biggest goal.
However, she points out several times how grateful she is to be part of Sweden's perhaps most successful national team ever. That it can be compared to the special F19 group that won European Championship gold in 2012, a championship that Mušović was stopped by Rosengård from participating in. Nathalie Björn, Filippa Angeldahl and Stina Blackstenius were some of the players who then traveled down to Israel.
- It's cool to be part of when there is something unique, so first and foremost I'm very happy about it. But the honest answer is that, I do not know. I do not know when I will take over that place. I have understood that you need to be patient and that the roles do not change as fast as you want. So I'm waiting with excitement.
The goal of one day becoming one will never affect the teammates, she assures.
- It is a discussion that I have with my coaches, regardless of whether it is Chelsea or national team. Such discussions can sometimes be uncomfortable and tough to take, but as long as they are held between me and the decision maker, it is calm. We work with something where it is not always possible to be comfortable and say what feels kindest. But that is what keeps us going. I just think it's weird if you are not disappointed, then I think you are in the wrong place.
After a rainy day, the sun breaks through the cloud cover over Surrey. In addition to the weather, we also talk about the English (sometimes non-existent) waste sorting. A problem that obviously extends beyond my own neighborhood in London.
- I have been close to writing notes and hanging up in the garbage room. "Here is plastic, food waste"… Plasticized sheets, the Swede has spoken, says Zećira Mušović with a smile.
The anxiety from a year ago is just a memory. Although life in England contains ups and downs as always and the goalkeeper thinks it will be nice to spend two Christmas weeks with the family - but expect her to work harder than ever in 2022 to finally pinch that regular place.
