I need to be perfect
Hi. So I kinda don't like this, but I kinda do at the same time, and I wasn't quite sure how to end it. It was also a really good request so I might use the prompt again in another way. Anyways, I hope you enjoy.
Barca Femeni x Reader ; Alexia Putellas x Reader (Platonic)
Description: R needs to be perfect and doesn't know how to stop.

Tumblr media
“When I say ‘jump’, you say ‘how high, coach?’ Got it?” The overweight, middle-aged man with an awful comb-over had shouted to you when you were just 9 years old. His methods were basically abuse, but he produced superstars. And that is what you were going to be. A superstar. It didn’t help that you already had perfectionist tendencies, and your parents were pushy – always expecting brilliance. No, not even brilliance. The best, you had to be the best. Perfect. Flawless. Faultless. Textbook. There was no other choice.
It was no surprise that Barca had come knocking when you were barely 16. You had mixed emotions: elation that Barcelona wanted you, happiness that you could leave the cruel atmosphere you lived in, fear that you weren’t as good as they may have thought, and nervousness that you needed the horrendous conditions to thrive.
Again. More. That wasn’t good enough. You’re not trying. You need to be better. Again. Again. Again.
You had seen the media asking how Barcelona could have signed a 16-year-old rising young talent from a lower league club. The world expected you to be great, Barca expected you to be great, and your parents expected you to be great.
But you didn’t feel great. Not at first. You had turned up to pre-season and noticed how far behind you were from your teammates. You hadn’t considered that it was because they were almost double your age and had been at the club or other high-level ones for years. You were struggling slightly to get the drills – Catalan was the preferred language, and you were still barely competent in Spanish. When the season started, you weren’t used as a sub very much, making your debut in November about 85 minutes into the match. You didn’t get your first start of the season until February. You had gone from being the best in the team at your old club to being a mere blip on the team sheet.
You are useless. You can’t even make it as a sub? You are a waste of time and money. All the effort we spent on you.
Your parents weren’t helping the situation. You already had the voice in your head telling you you weren’t good enough, and the constant barrage of texts, voicemails, and phone calls after another match where you weren’t used was starting to get to you.
So, you started to push yourself. After a season of being on the sidelines too much, you knew you needed to start working harder. You didn’t realise that Jonatan had been hoping to use this first year to let you get accustomed to Spain, the style of play and build your fitness. At first, it was nothing major. You stayed late a few days a week to work on drills, set pieces and technical skills. But then it was staying late every day you had training. And then coming in early. And then you began to run to training, leaving your bags in the locker room overnight for you to go and get changed. And then you began to run back from training, too. And then you added extra at-home workouts (nothing too crazy in the beginning; mainly yoga that turned into Pilates, which turned into an additional 2 hours of bodyweight exercises). For some strange reason, you had been allowed to live by yourself. You think that it was because so many of the girls lived nearby. Ingrid and Mapi lived in the same building as you. Lucy lived on the same road as you, as did Keira, Ona and Aitana. Alexia lived less than a ten-minute walk away, and you were within easy driving distance of everyone else. But because you lived alone, no one noticed how much you were putting your body through, even on your days off and mid-season breaks.
But the hard work was paying off. You started the next season well; pre-season had gone fantastically, and your name appeared on the Starting XI for the first match of the season. It stayed there throughout the year. You had also broken into a constant starter for your national team.
Again. Again. Again. Be better. Do better. Worthless. Poor. Again. Again
You couldn’t see a problem with it. You were fast, strong, technical, good, and great. You were going on two years at Barca, thriving, and playing your best football. You were barely 18, yet you had already been nominated for the Ballon d’Or. Everything was brilliant football-wise. You had to keep going. You couldn’t stop.
Do better. Awful. Again. Be better. Shocking. Rubbish. Useless. Horrible. Again
It was your day off after an intense few weeks when the truth came crashing to the ground. The Champions League had started up again, and a series of away games took place in a short space of time. It was hard with long days away from the comfort of your own home, and your daily routine was not helping the situation. Everyone could tell you weren’t ok – but they assumed it was from the travel. Lucy had picked up a cold or something, Keira was tired, Aitana and Pina were a little achy, and Alexia and Frido were more vigilant over the needs of their bodies. Everyone was exhausted. But you had to keep going. You couldn’t stop.
In your constant pressure to improve, you failed to notice Alexia’s troubled stares, Marta’s questioning looks, Patri’s concerned glances, and Irene’s worried gazes. They knew how hard you pushed yourself … almost. They knew you stayed every day after training, and they were a little concerned. But they didn’t know the extent of it. Not in the slightest.
It was El Clasico. Real Madrid vs Barcelona. A historic rivalry. You wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep until May, but that wasn’t an option. Everything was fine. You were on the score sheet, winning and playing great football. And then Athenea slid in for a tackle, catching you on your ankle in precisely the wrong spot. You tried (successfully) not to cry, but you couldn’t help the pained gasp that escaped your mouth. Alexia had been by your side instantly, ushering the medics over and holding you in place with her Captain’s stare.
“It’s your ankle, sí?” Alexia knew it was a matter of time before an injury came for you. If only she had stepped in sooner and helped you from overworking yourself. She helped you to your feet and walked you to the dugout.
“What? No! Ale, I’m fine. See,” You stood on your sore foot to prove your point. It hurt like nothing else you’d experienced, but it was fine; you just needed to walk it off.
“No, you sit the rest of this game out, get re-assessed back home and then we see if you can play.” She said with a note of finality as you huffed, turning around and walking off before you could comment.
Terrible. Awful. Be better. Dreadful. Terrible. Hopeless. Incompetent.
You knew it was silly. Your ankle was not ok, but you needed to train. It had been 2 days since El Clasico, and you were forced not to train yesterday, but it had been a travel day, so there wasn’t much you could do. It would be fine; you had trained on injuries before. You had waited until you knew the team would be out on the pitch as you snuck into the gym. Your ankle was heavily taped, but that was fine. You could put some pressure on it – that was all you needed.
You were determined to get at least a little run in. Just a gentle jog, really, barely above walking. Just a quick 5km. Nothing too crazy. You couldn’t afford to stop training, not after everything you have worked for. With your face in a determined expression and the idiocy of a terrified teenager, you got to work. You started on the bike. The movement was a little painful, but it raised your heart rate and got blood flowing. As you moved across the equipment, the door to the gym flew open.
“Qué crees que estás haciendo?” Alexia roared, making you jump out of your skin. Your first thought was that you hadn’t spent enough time on the bike, that she was angry at you for not working hard enough. For stopping. For taking a breather. “You are injured! Why the fuck are you not resting?” Alexia stormed over to you – she seemed angry. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes were dark and stormy, and her mouth was a hard line. She was angry at you. Why was she telling you to rest? Rest? You couldn’t rest. You had to be better. Keep working harder. Push yourself to be the best.
“I …” You couldn’t answer her, you couldn’t make her angrier. You couldn’t disappoint her. “I’m sorry. I just needed some water. I’m starting again in a minute.” You rushed to get your explanation to her. She needed to know you weren’t stopping. You were just moving to a different exercise. You weren’t slacking.
“Again? What have you done already?” She wasn’t calming down. If anything, you were making her angry. With the lack of sleep, the mental exhaustion, the injury, it was becoming too much for you. Tears clouded your vision, Alexia becoming foggy as you tried to stop the emotions from bubbling up.
“I was just moving from the bike. I’ll start running now. I’m sorry. I’m not stopping, I promise.” You were a mess as you moved to start the treadmill.
Alexia stopped to look at you. Really, look at you. Your tired eyes, your dark circles and your sickly skin. The fatigue was evident in the way you stood; your body seemed too heavy for you to hold up. You also looked terrified. She couldn’t work out why, though. Yes, she was angry. A trainer had come into the medical room wondering who had cleared you for exercise. Alexia knew no one had done so; they had told her after the match that it would be 2 weeks or so before you could rejoin training at any level (after the string of injuries, the medical staff were also over-cautious in their assessments of minor injuries). So, she knew you were doing this against their advice. And that made her mad; it was one thing to push yourself in training despite coaches telling you not to overdo it but another to actively go against medical advice. But looking at you, she knew you hadn't asked for medical clearance. You were just a scared little girl.
“No, Chiquita. No, running.” Alexia was a lot calmer now, seeing your lip wobble and your eyes blink rapidly—clearly holding back tears.
“I have to. I can’t stop. I need to be better.” You whispered, ashamed of your perceived weaknesses.
“Cariño,” she cooed, reaching out to you. You flinched, not used to kind touches. Any touches you had received from coaches or captains were ones that would push you into running more, doing more drills, and practicing more set pieces. “Pequeña. You’re injured. You need to rest, mi amor.”
“I can’t rest. I need to train. I need to be better, do better.”
“No, Chiquita. You don’t. You need rest; you need to get well again.” Alexia stepped forward. She could see the war raging in your head – the desire to stop but the need to keep going. “Cariño?” Her kindness made you break. You launched yourself at her, arms wrapping around her neck as you cried into her. “Oh, amor. You’re ok. Está bien. Todo está bien. Prometo. Usted puede parar.” You sobbed into her shoulder, tears dampening her shirt as you howled. Everything was too much. You hurt, you needed to sleep, you wanted to stop, and yet you couldn’t. The voice in your head told you to keep going. Your parents and old coaches told you you weren’t allowed to stop. It was far, far, far too much for you.
“Neña, deep breaths. In … and out … vamos … in … and out.” Alexia instructed as you were becoming hysterical. She made her breaths exaggerated, slow and obvious, helping you to match hers. “Bien hecho, pequeña,” she pressed gentle kisses to your head as she eventually slowed down. “Y/N, I am not angry at you; no one is. But I need to know why you are in here and not at home resting.” Alexia implored, her hazel eyes looking directly at yours.
“I can’t stop,” you said meekly, slightly ashamed of your outburst.
“No entiendo. You can’t stop what?” She spoke slowly, like you would to a child or a scared animal.
“I can’t stop training. I need to be better. I need to do more,” you said, getting agitated—at her lack of understanding or at yourself. You weren’t quite sure.
“Amor, why do you need to be better?” Alexia was truly at a loss. You were so talented; you didn’t need to be better.
“Because everyone says so. They say so.” You looked so fragile and nervous, eyes darting around the room, your fingers twisting around each other.
“Who is ‘they’?”
“My parents … my old coaches.”
“Chiquita, listen to me. You do not need to be better. You are more than enough. You are so, so talented. You work so hard. But pushing yourself will not be good for you, the team, or anyone else. You need to rest, slow down, and allow your body to heal.”
With Alexia’s kind questioning, she soon got to the bottom of everything. You had told her about the harshness you had experienced from a young age, the disappointment and anger your parents had expressed during your first season at Barcelona, and the voice in your head telling you to keep pushing. She knew you had a way to go, but with gentle reminders and constant check-ins, you learnt how to quieten the voices. Training became easier, your home was no longer a place to get more workouts in, and you finally stopped listening to the devils in your life and started paying attention to the angels.
It wasn’t much, but it was a start. And that was all they could hope for.
I hope you enjoyed it. It was kinda short and I don't know if I really like the ending but yeh.

The Wonder Twins Universe
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
You had your debut two weeks after arriving to the team, you played in a friendly against Atletico during the preseason. You entered the pitch as a sub for the second half and your impact was immediate. Jonatan saw the way you orchestrated the midfield, your communication with both the defenders and the strikers and how everything went smoothly. The game ended 5-0 with you being player of the match as you contributed with 2 assists, and you had participated in the building of a third goal.
Not only your impact in the team was noticeable but also the impact of joining Barcelona was noticeable. You started learning Spanish to speak with the staff, your teammates and with the fans, you also started to gain more muscle as training in Barcelona was more rigorous than with Arsenal. You felt as if you had been playing in Barcelona for years.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Before you knew it you already had been in Barcelona for a month and a half. You loved everything in Barcelona, the city, the warm weather, the staff, and your teammates.
You thought that joining such a united team it would have been difficult to be accepted and to join into the team’s dynamics however, it has been the opposite.
You could say that Mapi has become your closest friend in Barcelona, she made sure to make your adaptation easier and Ingrid became your confidant and the person with whom you went for advice as she understood perfectly what you were going through, being a foreigner joining Barcelona. Patri and Claudia became your annoying little sisters while with Jana and Bruna you felt the necessity of protecting them and teaching them everything you could, you were sure that those two would become superstars.
Having other British teammates joining at the same time as you have made everything better, you had a piece of home in Barcelona thanks to them.
Finally, Alexia. The chemistry you had her was undeniably, you made her laugh with your clumsiness and with the stories you told her about your adventures with Leah when you were younger and she made your heartbeat faster, you love the passion she has about the game for either the club or her national team. You couldn’t stop thinking about the Catalan and you couldn’t wait for her to be on the pitch again.
The only negative part of joining Barcelona was being separated from your family, specially from your twin. You talked with Leah every time it was possible, you missed being with her almost 24/7. Being separated from her while it gave you a sense of independence it was also the worst feeling ever.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Being in Liga F has taught about a new playing style, your skills have only gotten better and it was noticed by Sarina so it wasn’t a surprise when you were announced as part of the squad for the international break and that’s how you found yourself in the locker room after the last practice before the break saying goodbye to some of your teammates.
“Mapi! Don’t do anything to crazy while I’m gone!”
“Me?!? y/nn I don’t why would you say that” Mapi said with a fake innocent voice.
“You are right Mapi. How could I say that? You are an angel” you said smiling with a sarcastic voice.
You picked up your things before approaching Mapi, hugging her and whispering. “Mapi, if there’s something bothering you, and I mean anything at all you about the coach from your national team remember that I’m one call away.”
“Thank you y/nn, I can’t stand anymore Vilda and his staff. I don’t know what to do, I want to stay strong for the younger ones” she whispered back to you.
“Remember Mapi, one call away” you whispered back before separating.
“Good luck with Norway Ingrid!” you said while giving her a quick hug.
“You to y/nn! I hope everything goes well with the Lionesses”
After saying goodbye to more teammates, you went looking for Alexia who should be finishing her physiotherapy session. You were waiting outside the physiotherapy room when she came out.
“Ale! I couldn’t leave without saying goodbye to you” you said looking directly to her eyes and giving her a soft smile.
She approached you and hugged you.
“If you couldn’t say goodbye I would have understood. Our schedules are hectic.”
“Ale, I had to say goodbye. I wouldn’t have been comfortable without it.”
You guys kept hugging until you heard Lucy “Williamson! We need to go! Are you ready?!”
You separated from Alexia and turned around towards Lucy yelled “Yeah Lucy! Just give me two more minutes!”
Lucy realized that you and Alexia were having a moment, before leaving she said “Two minutes Williamson!”
You turned around back to Alexia and said “Ale I know that I will only be gone for like 10 days, but I’ll miss you”
“I’ll miss you to y/n, good luck for your games y/nn, I’ll make sure to watch every single match. You better return to me, I mean Barcelona in one piece, I would hate for you to join me and the physios.”
“Don’t worry Ale, I’ll take care of my myself” you told her smiling.
Before leaving and turning around you gave her a kiss in the cheek close to her mouth.
If you had turned around to see her reaction, you would’ve seen her really red face and how her fingers here softly caressing the exact spot of the kiss.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
St George's Park, you really had missed that place.
You, Lucy and Keira were just arriving to the place. You couldn’t wait to see your teammates again but the person you wanted to see the most was Leah.
As soon as you guys left the van you were greeted by the media team. After you waved and greeted the camera you entered the lobby.
Before you could even greet some teammates and Sarina a body had tackled you. You immediately recognized her blonde hair and hugged her.
“Look! The Wonder Twins are finally reunited” Tooney said.
After her words everyone turned their attention towards you and your twin.
Everyone could see that was an emotional exchange, they couldn’t imagine how you guys felt.
Finally, Leah and you separated and you greeted everyone.
After greeting everyone Leah hugged you again “I’ve missed you so much sis”
“I missed you too Lee, there’s so much that I need to tell you. There might be someone special in Barcelona” you whispered.
You guys separated and she smiled at you before she could talk Rachel’s voice interrupted her.
“Oi! y/nn what are they feeding you with in Barcelona. You have more muscles than you did before and only in a period of two months!” 
After hearing that you couldn’t help but to laugh.
You couldn’t wait to play to play again with your sister.  After all you guys are The Wonder Twins.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Thank you to everyone! The love recieved by part three was amazing.
If there is anything that you guys would like to see please comment it!

Total Drama: The Blatantly Inflated Cash-In Reunion Special (a closed RP with @jokundicesmith)
The Total Drama franchise was winding down and losing steam, and the increasing budget put the original company in dire straits. This was why the production company was purchased by a unique billionaire who bought the company from collapsing into bankruptcy under one condition: he got to build his own straight to DVD special.
That was the simple line of logic the girls who had been brought to a gorgeous island to perform on this franchise ending finale. The cast was made up of several veterans Total Drama contestants; Leshawna Olongala, Heather Kasuga, Gwen Ingrid, Lindsay Top, and Bridgette Summers. But they weren't alone as they were joined by Kori Anders, redheaded supermodel, Toph Bei Fong, a blind MMA superstar, April O'Neil, a spunky tomboy and junior reporter, Nami Orenji, an amateur photographer, and Nora Valkyrie, a wild and free-spirited athlete.
They were all herded to the central camp area, and the veterans were dreading seeing that damned smug grin on Chris McLean's face. Only to be met by an entirely new figure. The veterans were excited until they saw Chef and Chris a distance away; with Chef grinning as he held tightly onto Chris.
"I thought McLean wasn't gonna be here!" Gwen shouted gesturing to the sadistic gameshow host. "It was in the contract and everything." The others nodded in agreement, every Total Drama veteran waited to hear an explanation for Chris being there.
The figure gestured to Chef who dragged a very unwilling Chris to the podium. Chris looked like he was about to sat something only to be suckerpunched by Chef; knocking the wind out of him.
"Argh! Oh God! Bbrrrtumph... j-just give me a second Campers!... oh God the paycheck is why I'm here... the paycheck is why I'm here..." Chris coughed and mumbled into his microphone as he tried to compose himself. "Like I was about to say hello and welcome Campers! I am... just the MC for Total Drama's first 18+ straight to DVD adult feature!" Chris unenthusiastically wiggled his fingers. "Due to sustained lawsuits, bad investments and a poor economic management McLean Pictures was bought outright by Jason Wilds!" Chris performs an obnoxious eye roll as he gestures to the well-dressed man to his right, his voice thick with derision. "So, we can continue Total Drama productions but the series will take place on the most terrifying place of all time!.... Mr Wilds' personal private island and his 5 star resort.... woo..."

13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests - Dean and Britta 2010
One of my close friends and bandmates lent me her cd of this album (yes we swap cd, we are music nerds) and I was immediately entranced by it. It has the feel of the Velvet Underground in a way that seems to be equal parts homage and worship without being a direct carbon copy, in some parts sounding very 90s in a way I can;t quite put my finger on - it definitely does not sound like 2010 I'll tell you that.
Andy Warhol's Screen Tests were another one of his wacky little film ideas, which boiled down to 'put person in front of camera, push record on camera'. Pretty much everyone in the Factory, and most visitors, everyone from Edie Sedgwick through Mama Cass through Gerard Malanga through Bob Dylan through Salvador Dalí, was... subjected to one of these. All are shot in black and white, and they generally last for three minutes, though are played slowed down.
Dean and Britta were approached to make music accompanying 13 of the screen tests for a movie (which regrettably at time of writing I have not seen, will watch soon and update this when I have) and accompanying soundtrack. Each song is specific to a person, and the second disc (of the cd at least) is seven alternate versions/remixes, which I actually like better in some cases, although I did just read an article (from popmatters) saying that indeed some of the mixes, specifically Sonic Boom's, work better as standalone music that the versions that do go with the movie. They certainly do have a hypnotic quality to them. That there are 13 songs is significant - Warhol had two exhibitions called '13 Most Beautiful Men / Women'.
The songs are -
Silver Factory Theme (Billy Name)
I'll Keep It With Mine (Nico)
Not A Young Man Anymore (Lou Reed)
I Found It Not So (Mary Woronov)
It Don't Rain In Beverly Hills (Edie Sedgwick)
Incandescent Innocent (Freddy Herko)
International Velvet Redux (Susan Bottomley)
Teenage Lightning and Lonely Highways (Paul America)
Herringbone Tweed (Dennis Hopper)
Richard Rheem Theme (Richard Rheem)
Knives From Bavaria (Jane Holzer)
Eyes In My Smoke (Ingrid Superstar)
Ann Buchanan Theme (Ann Buchanan)
And you will not believe how much googling I just did to figure all that out.
Silver Factory of course refers to the period where the Factory was wallpapered in tinfoil. I'll Keep It With Mine is a non-album Dylan song covered by Nico. Not A Young Man Anymore is a Velvet Underground rare song convered so convincingly by Dean Wareham that I thought for a moment it *was* the VU on the recording - classic mid-sixties garage rock sound giving the indie treatment. It Don't Rain In Beverly Hills / no matter what they say / the pain never washes away is probably the most Edie Sedgwick song out there, beating even Patti Smith's Poppies, which was written for her. Teenage Lightning and Lonely Highways could fit nearly any teen road trip movie, and has definite fictional 1950s vibes, perfectly fitting a guy nicknamed Paul America. Knives From Bavaria is delightfully nonsensical and I have no idea what it has to do with Jane Holzer or her teeth brushing but it's a cool little song anyways.n
This album has a deep sense of sadness to it, despite the generally upbeat vibes. Maybe it's cause we know that so many of the superstars died young, or had a lot of bad stuff happen to them, struggled with addiction, or just that they are a footnote in history. Maybe it's because they stare at you, or avert their eyes, from the depths of time and the screen tests. Because, for a lot of us on here reading this, some of the people who this music was written for died before our parents were born. Some of the songs are genuinely tragic, and like the superstars themselves, the facade of glitter and beauty lies thin over emotion. The Factory and the people in it were some of the defining points of the sixties, and yet listening to this music, watching the screen tests, can at times fell like being let in on a secret about their lives.
I really love this album, and though I don't know it particularly well, it has a profound impact on me and I will be listening to some of the songs on this for a very long time.

Here it is ladies! A list of female biographies! Highly anticipated by nobody but myself! This took a long time, so I hope it might be enjoyable to at least some people. I'll add to this whenever I feel like it. A few things before I begin:
1. The list is (roughly) organized alphabetically by the subjects last name.
2. The subjects occupation (if they had one) will be labeled with a corresponding symbol (i.e. painter = 🎨, writer =✏️, and so on and so forth). Books about same sex attracted women (lesbian or bi women) and women of color are labeled. Occupations that cannot be easily represented by symbols will simply be stated.
3. Biographies written or co-written by men will have with 🧔 after their names.
4. The subjects full birth name will be in brackets after the title.
5. If you're curious about a book and want more information or content warnings, please message me. I'll help as best I can.

The Studs Terkel Show - The Exploding Plastic Inevitable, June 1966
Studs Terkel meets the Exploding Plastic Inevitable! This new-to-me artifact features Ingrid Superstar, Gerard Malanga, Sterling Morrison, Paul Morrissey and Steve Sesnick chatting with the legendary writer / broadcaster during the EPI's mid-1966 Chicago jaunt. Studs had caught the multimedia extravaganza a few nights before — and was bewildered! But in a good way, he seems genuinely curious about what these crazy kids are up to ... and even manages to get some straight answers out of them. Very cool stuff.
The Exploding Plastic Inevitable's Windy City trip was an interesting one — Lou Reed was MIA thanks to a bout of hepatitis and Nico was out in Europe with the jet set. As a result, the Velvet Underground played in a unique lineup with John Cale taking over on vocals, original drummer Angus MacLise returning to jam one last time and Moe Tucker moving over to bass and guitar.
Alas, there are only a handful of recordings of the Lou-less VU — "Venus In Furs" and "Heroin." There's also Ronald Nameth's disorienting film of the band at Poor Richard's. Too bad there's no tape of the Velvets discovering the riff for "Searching" — soon to transmogrify into none other than "Sister Ray." And too bad there's no tape of the VU entertaining the Bunnies at the Playboy Club, as pictured above.
