Pacers come from behind to defeat Bulls after 24-point lead

The Chicago Bulls fell to a fifth consecutive loss after blowing a 24-point lead against the Indiana Pacers, losing 117-113 in their latest NBA fixture. The Bulls had been looking to snap their losing streak and make a statement without the services of All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who was sidelined due to a Grade 1 quad strain. However, they ultimately suffered another second-half collapse as the Pacers rallied to snatch a dramatic victory. Chicago coach Billy Donovan called for more heart and focus from his team in crunch moments, urging his players to execute more precisely on both ends of the court. Without DeRozan, the Bulls needed someone to step up and play like an All-Star, and Zach LaVine did his best to fill the void. The guard put up an impressive 35 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, but his final efforts to give his team a vital win came up short. LaVine missed a potential game-winning shot and then airballed a three-pointer on the Bulls' final possession of the game. The Bulls had made a strong start to the game, outscoring the Pacers 39-15 in the opening quarter. However, they failed to sustain their momentum as they lost the next two quarters, with the Pacers wiping out their 23-point third-quarter lead. Buddy Hield was the main man responsible for Indiana's comeback, scoring 19 of his 27 points in the third period alone, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer. Despite the loss, the Bulls showed some encouraging signs in the game. Alex Caruso stepped in for DeRozan and played with the same defensive ferocity that has become his trademark, while the team's young players also made important contributions. Chicago forced 19 Pacers turnovers, with Caruso, Coby White, and Patrick Williams all recording multiple steals. The team also found their three-point shooting form, going 15-for-35 from beyond the arc. The Bulls will hope to regroup during the All-Star break after their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. LaVine emphasized the importance of the break in giving the team a mental rest and recharging their batteries ahead of the second half of the season. However, they will need to address their second-half woes and find a way to close out games more effectively if they are to achieve their goals this season. Read the full article

You Can’t Escape Love

A Messy PipWen AU

Ch1 Ch2 Chapter 3

Wednesday clicked the door shut as she stepped inside her house. Letting out a huge sigh she leant back on the door and brought her hand up to her face. The hand that had held Pip’s only a few minutes ago.

She didn’t think she would enjoy the touch from another woman again so soon after Enid, she had sworn off being connected to another after the pain of their separation had nearly torn her apart. But her experiences at Nevermore had taught her one thing - to care for someone was to live life to the fullest.

Pip was different. She was clearly very clever, but didn’t show it off. She was kind and thoughtful and - dare she say it - fun? Maybe in a calmer way than she had been used to but Wednesday was a little older and a lot wiser. She knew what she wanted and Pip ticked all the boxes.

And there was also the spark. Her touch had felt electric on Wednesdays skin, her smile so bewitching, and her easy vulnerability refreshing. Was it something to do with the reserved rural upbringing? Wednesday wasn’t sure but she was smitten straight away.

The fact that Pip had a body she would crawl over broken glass to be given the opportunity to explore had nothing to do with anything - ok?

That tight cropped shirt, those jeans, those abs, those hands.

Wow.

Wednesday wandered into to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of her favourite home made Sicilian lemonade, adding a little extra ice to try and cool herself down. Damn she was thirsty - must be the warm day and the hot coffee, right?

She sat down at the dining table and checked her phone, she had things to organise for the following week, but it wasn’t long before she was daydreaming about what Pip might be doing right now.

Pip, unbeknownst to Wednesday, was also sipping a cool drink in her back garden, under the shade of her favourite tree. She had planned to go to the library after walking the dog but the encounter with Wednesday had rattled her.

It’s not that she didn’t want to see Wednesday again - that was far from the truth. It was just that it happened so fast.

And now she had a date.

With a girl.

A very very beautiful girl.

Her relationship with Ravi had fizzled out after a few weeks - they eventually decided to just be friends. The investigation they had partnered in had been the catalyst for their feelings for each other but once it was finished it just didn’t feel the same. The spark died away.

And that was fine. He was a good guy for sure and it had been amicable.

Since then Pip had made out with a couple of people, most notably her best friend Cara. After a few glasses of wine they had made out in Cara’s bedroom. It had been a mistake - while it was wonderful kissing a girl, much better than Pip expected, it just didn’t feel right with Cara - she was almost a sister to her. They hadn’t spoken about it again apart from one quip from Cara “so you like girlkissing now Pip?” which had made Pip blush and both of them giggle like little kids. It had been so easy to move past the awkwardness, they had been together as friends for so long and nothing would jeopardise that.

She had a lot more confidence now in romance, and felt ready to do a proper date - which this surely was even though Wednesday had insisted it was “only dinner”.

She pondered about what she would wear. Something fancy? No, she didn’t want to look completely different than today, that might make it look as if she was trying too hard. Maybe a nice fitted crop top, a short sleeve shirt over it and her best pants, maybe with her nicest Converse. Casual, but at her best. If she did her hair and makeup it would be much better look than today, although the way Wednesday’s eyes had been roaming over her in the cafe she didn’t think her preparations were needed much at all.

She couldn’t wait for the following evening

The following day Wednesday arrived back home late in the afternoon, laden with bags of grocery shopping and new clothes. She had risen early and caught the first train into Bristol. While her local supermarket was adequate for day to day essentials she had wanted to buy some specialist ingredients for the meal she wanted to cook for Pip. Her family came from all over the globe and so had a wide variety of traditional dishes they loved to cook, but her favourite was spaghetti bolognaise. A simple dish which was butchered by most ‘cooks’ by using cheap ingredients and poor technique. Wednesday had purchased fresh tomatoes, the finest Italian spaghetti she could find and a simple but high quality bottle of wine to accompany it. Bristol had a couple of specialist Italian shops which she loved to stock up at so the journey was a regular one. The fresh herbs she needed were growing in raised beds outside her kitchen door, and they were used often.

She had also been to a couple of her favourite clothes shops and her tailor. As she was quite short most clothes dwarfed her, so altering them was essential but having them made for her was even better. She had been measured up for some new pants a few weeks before and thankfully she had been called that week to say they were ready. They were simple but elegant and not too formal, neither tight nor baggy - just right. They finished just above her ankles and were slightly tapered from the waist too, with useful pockets front and rear almost like men’s suit pants.

Her tailor supplied her with an off the rack button up white shirt and a white belt to match, then she went to a jewellers for a couple of small purchases and to the department store for some new makeup. She hadn’t bought - or even used - any for a while, being alone in her house writing most of the time meant it just wasn’t needed and when she did book signings or photo sessions her stylist would use her own professional kit.

She showered and washed her hair, this time leaving it unbraided and loose. Enid had taught her to love her hair as it was, Wednesday having tied it up into braids for so long just cos it was more practical. Yes it was a little more annoying but it gave her a sense of freedom to have it down, and it certainly had a positive effect on people - the amount of compliments she received about it was embarrassingly large.

She slipped on some casual clothes first to make the bolognese sauce, so she didn’t get the ingredients over her pristine new shirt, then left the food to simmer as she dressed. She would cook the pasta when Pip arrived but the sauce needed a long time to cook for it to taste as good as she knew it could be.

Her cleaning help had gone through the house that morning when she was out, meaning the gothic - but subtly colourful - interior was spotless. Wednesday lit a couple of lavender scented candles to provide a relaxing atmosphere and made sure the lounge was aired out by opening the windows. She had fitted the house with air conditioning as most USA houses had, but it was very unusual to have such a system in the Uk. The temperature was nice and cool but there was something about the English air in the summer which was magical, so fresh and invigorating. As she cracked a couple of the windows open the aroma of freshly cut grass, probably from one of her neighbours, flooded into the large, dark green themed room, instantly overpowering the lavender. It was a far superior smell so she blew out the candles. Checking the time she realised she had none to waste and hurried upstairs to dress.

As she was putting the final touches to her outfit she heard the door bell chiming downstairs.

Pip was here.

Wednesday tried to gather her thoughts as best she could as she hurried to her front door to answer it, smoothing her clothes down to make sure she looked at her best. Her attempts to calm her racing heart were in vain as she opened the door.

Wednesday outfit is fitted pants like in the first picture but with a looser shirt and tie as in the second pic.

Enid: Wow. Just. Wow! You’ve gotten like, so much better at kissing. I can’t even!

Wednesday: I am pleased that you think so, mi corazón. I practiced ceaselessly over the summer as recompense for my egregious lack of expertise last semester.

Enid: Aw babe, you didn’t need— wait. Practiced? Practiced with who? *glares*

Wednesday: Whom. Practiced with whom.

Enid: Wednesday.

Wednesday: Ah. Allow me to allay your concerns, my dearest Enid. I practiced the art of osculation upon medical cadavers.

Enid: Oh! Okay, that’s— WHAT?!

Wednesday: Enid, did you expect for me to share my lips with someone living? They belong to you, mi tesora, and only you.

Enid: I— well, no! Of course not. But, that. Just. Cadavers? Really??!

Wednesday: If it helps, I was compelled to paint each in your likeness before I could even consider beginning. I dare say that several university anatomy laboratories are now blessed with the shadow of your resplendence.

Enid: Oh. That is kinda romantic…

Wednesday: What is it, mi amor?

Enid: *very concerned* Um. The thing with your tongue. Was that… ?

Wednesday: No. Tying nooses from cherry stems.

Enid: Ohthankgawd!!

Less Than Jake

“Automatic”

This is the first song I heard by one of the best SkaPunk bands (and definitely best to come out of Florida) off of one of the best SkaPunk albums of all time (”Losing Streak” - huminahuminahumina). Less Than Jake is another band I have always loved listening to and seeing live and totally enjoying the heck out of them every time. One of the hardest working bands out there and totally representing Florida in the best of ways.

The Browns ended their losing streak by not winning. That is the most Browns thing that could happen to them.

Are team sports better for kids than individual sports?

It is an age-old debate – a choice between team sports and individual sports. ​ Many kids want to train alone, others want to play a team sport. To help you decide, we'll look at the pros and cons of both

My first ever "big" @lessthanjake rubber duck for a custom order! In terms of size, this guy is halfway between a regular rubber duck and the giant ducks I've made previously. Was a fun challenge to try and get several designs on a smaller duck and how best to adapt them to the smaller canvas! Very very grateful to everyone who's made orders in recent months. It's a tough time for everyone and every single order helps keep me afloat! ❤️ #rubberduck #customtoys #customorder #etsy #lessthanjake #bisforbsides #soundthealarm #losingstreak #anthem #albumart #skapunk #punkska #punk #ska #customised #music #graphics #skull #bee #album https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AoYqLDFP3/?igshid=1ki39beo0zfat

You Can’t Escape Love

The Backstory

Ok so what happening to Wenclair?

What happended to PipRavi?

Here is my AU back story. ……..

Wednesday and Enid got together after the “hug” and enjoyed a few months together. But the shared trauma built up and they never dealt with it, the tensions grew and they argued more and more. They didn’t want to hurt each other they loved each other but even with therapy they couldn’t get past it. They unknowingly kept reminding each other of that terrible night and there wasn’t anything that would change that.

Eventually they came to a point where they knew they would have to separate at the end of senior year. They would go their separate ways and agree that while they would always be bonded together in love, it was more of a deep close friend situation. Enid would always protect Wednesday and Wends would always ensure Enid was supported and loved in a way her mother Esther never managed to.

It broke both of their hearts but it had to happen. The inevitability of it didn’t lessen the pain, but it did help them to move on. Wednesday moved to the UK and Enid to New York to be a journalist. They promised to keep in touch but only after a year had passed to allow them to heal. If there was an emergency they promised to call each other but otherwise it was no contact.

Enid never changed her style but Wednesdays style became softer. She still wore monochrome colours but in more looser styles. She would wear her hair down on some days and occasionally wear a baseball hat.

When she moved to the UK she got the big Manor House and used its extensive gardens to relax in, cultivated some beehives for fresh honey as well some other small animals like chickens for fresh eggs. The garden is a country house style, formal in places but with other areas to hide away in surrounded by flowers and landscaping. She had a little hut next to the river at the bottom of the garden to do her yoga in and occasionally just sit and read on rainy days, the sound of the water on the roof calming her.

Most of the house is renovated now, just a few rooms left to do when she gets inspiration for them (maybe a plot point in the future??).

Most days she sits and writes for a few hours then goes for a walk in the fresh air around the village.

She has two cars. Her everyday car is a 1987 BMW 635csi in black with a black interior as per the pic below.

She also had a nicer car, a Bristol Fighter (ask me why!!) for fun drives or attending events as a writer.

She hated driving in the USA as it was boring but loves going for drives in the English countryside, where she can go to the seaside or little villages and sit and read on her own in a cafe without anyone bothering her.

Enid helped Wednesday not to be so hard on herself, not to work so hard and to enjoy life in her own way. Wends taught Enid to believe in herself and showed her she could do anything she wanted. One of the last things she did is pursuade Enid she could make it in New York by herself, she didn’t need Esther’s approval either. Enid was always sharp and able to do so much (that’s canon if you watch S1 she’s actually a leader) but doesn’t trust herself or her abilities and wants to please others too much. Wednesday showed her a different way and it boosted Enid so much.
