I've actually peaked in life with this crochet creation the suckers killed me but hes straight chillin (featuring the straw hat I got at the thrift store for my cat but perfectly fits this octopus)

[aliteralgarbageheap]

OP as a former D1 athlete you are so real for this and I have some thoughts to add

Kevin is 100% bff's with the strength coach, it's always someone and he has the suck up energy

Cold tubs? Who is a little bitch about them bc they were required for all sports at my school and every team had one, my money is on Aaron or nicky

The team relationships are so fucking real I shit you not I know like 6 couples minimum from just my kinda coed team who are still dating or have since gotten married this is TRACKING on the foxes

I feel like we really missed an opportunity for the exy house where all of the upper classmen fucking rent a house together and it's a disaster. The men's portion of my team had fucking stadium style couches and that is what the monsters really deserved to have

ALSO re training trip I call Kevin getting burnt and raise you Neil or Andrew burning and Kevin getting pissed because their performance would suffer bc of the sunburn

Also also re training trip I want a disaster mandatory mall outing or some shit to keep people busy in free time that would be GOLD

AFTG from a D1 perspective

As a D1 athlete from a sport where men and women practice and compete together (thought we are separate teams) here are my thoughts ;)

Whenever the Foxes travel and stay in hotels they have to share rooms (but if Wymack is going to drop the $$ for shower stalls they def don't have to share beds like my team does) but I wonder if they randomize the rooms?? lots of potential there...

(however, USC?? They're big enough that I can def seeing them have to share beds hahahaha)

training trip? do they go on training trip Nora I need to know! Lacrosse sometimes does, so maybe exy would idk... (they go to Florida or PR, Kevin gets hella burnt and Neil gets freckles end of story)

Lift?? They have to be lifting!! I know Aaron and Andrew are really into it and Nicky and Allison fight over the aux

there are days where everyone gets along (even people who hate each other) and there are days where everyones HATES each other (even the people who are best friends) it just happens

men are always puking during practice. Aaron personally gives me big barf boy energy (Nicky canonically yaks already lol)

periods. Having men and women practice together means the women don't GAF about talking about periods while the men stare at their shoes and pretend not to hear hahahha

Abby definitely gets pissed at Wymack and lift coach (they have to have one okay??) for working the foxes too hard, it's the trainer's job to get pissed at coaches okay

just NCAA violations in general. We have to do quizzes and shit to show we know the rules we can't break/rules the school and coach have to follow. (I could make a whole separate post about all the NCAA violations broken haha)

this is no way saying aftg is inaccurate, it just means they didn't ever get caught which checks out

speaking of which, whenever Aaron get's pissed he definitely is like "And we went over 20 hours last week!! I could just report them!!" to Katelyn and she calms him down

Interactions with other teams/greek life. I know there have to be some mixers/athlete events, if not the Foxes then the Trojans for sure.

complaining about dining hall food, I know Kevin's pissed about seed oils or lack of protein, something stupid like that

hookups within the team. okay the Foxes are small, but that just makes it more messy. the trojans have insane teamcest I just know it. (being coed means even more hookups than normal) . cute relationship sex, hate sex, random sex between people you would not believe (i def don't know this from first hand experience what....)

I'm so excited for TSC because we get so see how a "normal" Exy team behaves (I put normal in quotations bc ppl need to understand that D1 athletes, esp ones on a team as good as USC, are definitely not normal people ahahha)

this is definitely just part 1

what’s that genre of music called when it’s a song written & sung by a man, but the song is told as a story in the perspective of a girl going through the most gut wrenching harrowing experience of empty loneliness and grief. and the whole song sounds haunted and aching, and you can tell it’s meaningful to the guy singing it, but it’s got the illusion of being separated from the artist because the song is about a girl and obviously not him, but even as he sings it you can tell it’s a flimsy excuse. because yeah

Pompouspep where Danny is so worried about his parents finding out that he rails Vlad on the regular that he forgets to also hide that he's a ghost.

Like, he hides his texts by phasing his phone into the couch, he turns invisible to hide marks, he gets so embarrassed he glows a little.

Jack and Maddie are convinced that he died very recently and is trying to hide it (even though he died like 10 years ago at this point). So they tell him they'll love him no matter what and there's nothing he could do to make them hate him. And he's like holy shit they definitely know about Vlad and that's why they're telling me to come out to them.

And Vlad is like "of course your parents don't know, Daniel. They don't pay attention and we're very sneaky."

But then Jack and Maddie put 2+2 together and realize all the ghost stuff they're seeing around Danny also applies to Vlad, so they start trying to talk to Vlad to see if he has any insight or maybe accidentally drops hints about Danny/being a ghost or something. But all they really get across is "Dannyhas a secret and we think you know what it is". And Vlad is like "Daniel we have to leave the country right now immediately"

(I imagine it ending with the Fentons sincerely telling both Danny and Vlad that they are loved and will be loved no matter what, and then Danny asks if they're really okay with Vlad being their son-in-law, and then all hell breaks loose because "we thought you were just dead! What do you mean you're going to marry your godfather?")

every december I abruptly remember the same fic concept I've had for literal years where Johnny 13 hosts an absolute garbage Christmas Truce party. Like just the worst party ever. It was supposed to be a potluck but there's no food aside from chip dip Danny brought and ghost weed. Everyone is bored out of their minds.

Except Danny saw on the invitation (which was written on a crumpled receipt from Johnny's pocket, purely because Kitty insisted on at least that, and thrown at him mid fight) that he can 'invite whoever'.

So he'd invited Clockwork.

And as soon as Clockwork arrives everyone loses their minds because uhhhh?? hey THE LITERAL GOD OF TIME is here???

I think it is important to remember, when sifting through lore for facts and fic reasons, that the memories of Solas' regrets we see in the Lighthouse are not going to be the Exact Truth about what happened during these events.

This is how HE remembers those things happening. And memories are not always reliable narrators. In DAI, Solas gives us the example of the memories he witnessed at Ostagar, about Loghain as both the power-mad villain, and the veteran commander trying to save his troops from needless death. And they are both true for the people who lived those experiences. But they don't tell you what ACTUALLY happened.

Solas is dragging around thousands of years worth of regrets and mistakes. He focuses a lot of blame on himself, even beyond what was actually his fault. And he is reluctant to admit that Mythal was anything other than 'The Good Evanuris.'

The most obvious example is the last panel, where he kills Flemeth. The conversation that Rook and Co. hear is NOT the one that happened. Mythal did not argue for the fate of the world. She didn't ask him not to bring down the Veil. She made no protest beyond saying that he shouldn't have let Corypheus find his orb. She did not sound indignant or angry with him at all. She LET him take her power, even knowing it would kill her. (which was why I was honestly expecting her to have some Big Plan where like...her power let her take control of him and even if you talked him down, she would force him to tear open the Veil herself, but...whomp whomp)

Flemythal had the same amount of power that Solas had in Trespasser, and Solas' magic at the time was about the same as any talented mage of the modern age. She could have wiped the floor with him. She could have called a dragon or turned him into stone.

He didn't take her life, she gave it to him. She forgave him, and then she died to give him what he wanted.

And oh boy, that is so so SO much worse than her still being angry and arguing with him and telling him he was wrong. He does not know how to handle that At All.

It's also interesting because that is the only memory where Mythal DOES sound sharp with him. Every other time she is trying to talk him into something and he is the one arguing against it, she is remembered as being calm and rational and patient. Soft-spoken and almost motherly. Which...after meeting the fragment in the Crossroads, I kind of doubt was her typical MO. Even Morrigan says that she is 'prickly.'

Solas remembers her as kinder than she was before her death, because grief softens a lot of rough edges when we love someone. And afterwards, he thinks of her as someone who is still angry with him. Who will never forgive him. Because he is still angry at himself for 'getting her killed' the first time.

Mythal herself says that these memories are things he has 'cultivated like a tree reaching for the sun.' He has twisted these memories within himself into the shapes that they are, regardless of 'truth.'

That is NOT to say that he is absolved of guilt for the things we saw in those regrets! Or even that he's less guilty! But perhaps more along the lines of... 'It's important to remember that Solas was not the only person involved in a lot of these events, and therefore is likely not the only person blame should fall on.' However, Pride that he is, Solas is the one who remembers all of these things as being entirely his fault.

Loki, who almost exclusively dates/fucks guy who sorta look like Thor, and the ones who don't look like him have some vaguely Thor-flavored essence to them. Like, a Dollar Store Brand Thor.

Thor, who hasn't been in a relationship that lasted longer than 3 months because if Loki were to call him at 3am crying about stubbing his toe "really bad this time, I think it might be broken 🥺" he will be out the door before he hangs up the phone.

And if anyone were to point these things out to either of them you'll be met with the loudest, most steadfast denials you can ever imagine. And Loki will call you names, probably.
