Twisted Wonderland Reaction Part 10 ~ Rook Thirst Go Burrr Electric BEANgaloo edition
Beanfest part 2 is here and Vil was extremely kind to me on his birthday! I got his card in one pull and Rook came home today in only one pull too! So now I’m more than ready for the Pomefiore rate up when their chapter comes around in EN.
In the meantime, let’s continue with the farmer-monster mickey mouse shawarma-spiced violence! Warning: pic heavy, one or two references to my ocs (I TRY to keep it at an absolute bare minimum) some swearing, a little Rook-thirsting but no here NEAR as much as will come in the next part. I’ll explain at the end...😅
Did I mention how much I would LOVE to be on the farmer team?? 👀
SIR I AM AFRAID OF YOU! SOCIAL DISTANCE! SOCIAL DISTANCE!!!
Not at all Jamil, and you’re really rocking that monster camo. It suits him very well!
Or...ya know...be fucking BETRAYED by your own fellow farmer! 😤
❤❤❤
You forgot one, Benedict Diamond: #picstakenb4tragedy 💀
Also, I wanna say, my love for Riddle has risen astronomically since I first saw him in book 1. I think everyone can say that though. 🌹
Meanwhile over at Pomefiore...
ROOK BEING EXTRA AS FUCK AS ALWAYS WITH THAT FRENCH DEATH GRIP UPON MY HEARTTTTTTTT 💙💙💙💙💙
Yeah...there’s a reason most of my ocs are on the farmer team...👀
MMMMMMFFFF I love this exchange so much! This entire side story is such an oasis of RookVil food for my crazed and thirsty soul! 😩
And poor Epel is watching all this probably afraid for his life. Sweet apple child.
Meanwhile over at Diasomnia...
Poor Sebek is having an existential crisis!!! 😭🤣
What makes this even more hilarious is that in Taima’s beanfest fic that I’m writing, Sebek taunts her by explicitly saying he’s certain Malleus will be on the monster team with him and that they’ll hunt her down together. Almost as if tempting fate! Of course Mal isn’t on the monster team but you know who is? THATS RIGHT! 💀
THIS POOR ANGRY CABBAGE MAN 😭
Imagine being on the farmer team and getting faded by this pretty little menace fae. Yeah...I really wanna be on the farmer team...I wanna be chased by Rook and Lilia while Malleus protects me...I have problems...
You hear that? That’s the sound of these savannabros digging their own graves...
KEEP DIGGING
Behind that beautiful face, he’s contemplating how to make it look like an accident...
In all seriousness tho, I would GLADLY kneel before Vil Schoenheit! These savannabros don’t know how lucky they are to even be in his presence breathing the same air as him let alone getting to team up with him after he beats their asses! 👑
A true queen, even narrating his outfit change! The whole world is his runway and we have no choice but to stan! ✨✨✨
Meanwhile poor Deucey is having a pretty lame time after a certain bitchass (affectionate) influencer set him adrift...
But you know what? At least he went out with honor! No betrayal, no bullshit, and defended his dorm leader like a faithful bodyguard. We stan. See ya at the crossroads, Deuce. 🥺
👀👀👀
Can you smell it? Is that Kalim making lunch or Pomefiore erotic tension? Maybe both? Probably both...
Vil is having so much fun with this! You love to see it! 💙
They both are! It’s so lovely! Welp, just about done with what’s available of the main beanfest story. LETS GO FINALLY READ ROOKS BEANFEST VINGETTE AND GROOVIFY HIS CARD AT LONG LAST!!!
Ooooooorrrr not...💀
THEY REALLY GONNA MAKE ME FUCKING WAIT TO GROOVIFY HIS CARD!!! And now that I think about it, I didn’t get Vil’s SR today either, another card I was looking forward to getting.
WHYYYYYYY?! Is this meant to encourage people to continue with the beanfest story? Cause I was going to do that regardless! OOOOFFFFF Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to wait, at least I was able to get Rook’s card right away so I can continue saving my jewels.

Okay, I know we still have the final to go, but given what we've seen so far what's everyone thinking about the Olympic roster? Who you think deserves to make it, who you want to make it, who is a definite no at this point, anything. Now, I basically know jack shit about soccer (I was a field hockey player, oops) but I definitely have some thoughts about who I want/think deserves to make it.
Let's start with the front line, shall we?
Christen Press. I mean, this one is obvious. In what universe does CP *not* make the roster? I'll tell you which universe - none. She's clearly having a moment, she's healthy, everyone loves her. She's in, signed, sealed, delivered. Put it on my grave.
Pinoe. Okay, okay, "she's only good on set pieces" people say. Yeah, and those are pretty important. And aside from last night's somewhat sub-par performance in that department, I think she's looked pretty damn good this tournament. Fit af. Plus there is something to be said for the leadership and experience the older players have to offer. I think the rest of the team respects her and values her, and she's super positive and supportive of everyone, which I love. As long as she stays healthy, she's in.
Heath. Whoo. Honestly, I don't think we got a good look at her, what with her limited minutes. But she's the nutmeg queen, she's great on corners, she's spicy, and she does that nifty little backheel thing. And again - experience. Definitely takes on a mentor role with some of the younger players. She's had some injuries going back to the end of the club season, but as far as I know they've been minor. I still cringe every time she gets fouled, but I think she'll be okay as long as Vlatko continues to be smart about managing her minutes until she's 100%.
AMorgs??? Okay, this one's loaded. I give her major props for continuing her training during pregnancy, and I 100% believe she has the drive to be match fit by July. That said, pregnancy and childbirth are unpredictable. If she ends up needing a c section (which I wish on nobody, fingers crossed for a nice, uncomplicated delivery) I don't think she'll be ready due to the recovery period. That is the only reason I hesitate to say she's going for sure but I am hoping for the best and want only good things for her.
Baby Mal??? I don't know. This is a tough one. As much as I miss her, I will admit to thinking (please don't kill me for this) that she looked kind of lost and unfocused in the friendlies last fall. She has the skills to be there, no doubt, it just seemed to me she wasn't connecting well with her teammates, wasn't anticipating where they would be, etc. But I love her and hope she works shit out.
Carlos??? She isn't starter material at this point. This tournament, for her, seemed to be about getting Carlos to the Olympics, not the USWNT. Not at her best, by a long shot, and unlike Pinoe I don't think the younger players really see her as a leader or mentor. Not gonna lie, I was rooting for her because I admire her drive and dedication to keep going, but she fell short here.
Now, I'm skipping ahead to goalies, because honestly that's the easiest.
Uncle Naeher. Biggest no-brainer along with Press. (Honestly...can anyone give me a valid reason for her not to start? I doubt it.) I think she proved both in international and club play last season that she deserves the starting spot. It's hers to lose, but she won't.
Ashlyn. I hesitate to say I'm 100% sure here, but it's a pretty good bet. Campbell or Bledsoe could sneak in there, but at this point I'm leaning towards not. We really didn't get a good look at where she is right now, what with there not being a whole lot of action on that end of the field, but apparently Vlatko likes her so I'm good with that.
Ugh. Now we have midfield and backs. Honestly the toughest spots to cut anyone because they're basically all looking rock solid.
Rose. Why tf would you cut Rose? That's right, you wouldn't. She's had a solid tournament. Would have liked to see more of her, but benching her against Costa Rica was prob a good call, given her yellow card from the previous game. (Confession - sometimes I feel like she falls in the "looks like she could kill you; would actually kill you" category. Anyone else get this vibe? Not necessarily a bad thing…)
Lindsey. Honestly, I feel like sometimes she doesn't get the credit she deserves. Does she ever have a *bad* game? Even when she's not at her best, she's still The Pretty Good Horan. Solid as a rock. Great one-touch passes. Has perfected the art of the header. Awesome volleys. Just got her first international hat trick, yay! Looks cool, calm, and collected, but is capable of being absolute chaos on main (exhibit A: That Game™ vs Utah). Leaves no square inch untouched as she roams from box to box. Minus last season's concussion (and maybe a minor hamstring injury last fall where she missed a friendly? Am I right?) she's been healthy, which is more than I can say for several others, so there's also that. And she's the love of my life, so I will accept zero criticism on this one.
JJ. She's fast, she's feisty (and sometimes ultra spicy), she and Dunn are adorable bffs, she's a leader. I have nothing bad to say about her. But I'm still kinda salty that Chicago beat Portland in the semis so that's as nice as I'm gonna get. (No hate though, really, she's fantastic.) She needs to stop giving me heart attacks with the couple-pics-that-could-be-pregnancy-announcements, though. One USWNT baby at a time, thanks.
Sammy. Well, she got herself two braces so far in qualifying (okay, that one goal was highly questionable, but the ref said goal so goal it is), so she's definitely made a strong case for herself. She's tall. She's able and willing to catch The Great Horan (you know, because she's the only one taller than The Great Horan). She panics over being the first one on the bus. The only thing I don't like about her? She plays for NCC. But honestly she's adorable, really fucking good, and I love her so I can overlook that.
KO. Okay, I'll admit I was nervous. Her first couple games were a little shaky, she had a few pretty big goof-ups (but I mean when she whiffed that one time she had literally just recovered from a savage attempt at breaking her ankles so I can't even blame her for that) but her ankles were away at war for like 6 months so what do you expect? Last night she was in fine form. She brings a great energy to the game, connects well with Tobito, has the Stanny connection with CP and some cute, newfound friendship thing going on with Horan, and is basically the ultimate hype girl (when she's not being the ultimate frat daddy). When you need a bitch, she's your woman. And she's hot. Like, HOT hot. As long as the ankles hold up, she's gotta be on that roster. I am rooting for those ankles. Hard.
Sonnett. Really did herself a solid with the minutes she had. No complaints from me. Almost scored a goal, and I'm not counting it out in the final. Not afraid to break ankles. She's scrappy, spicy, saucy, a sit-down comedian, a soft smiler, and a package deal with Horan. She deserves the world. The world (or at least the USWNT and its fans) deserves her. Please don't cut her, Vlatko. I beg of you. (I'm not saying if you cut her, I'll cut you, but like...I'm not NOT saying it, either...)
Krieger. What do I need to say except she showed everyone why Jello was an idiot not to play her. She's a beast. And I really, really, really need the wives to both make it bc I will cry if one does and the other doesn't.
Dunn. I mean, have you seen her? She's all over the field. She almost scored during her 100th cap. I've never seen her have a bad game. Voted best dancer on the team. The only problem? See Sammy above. F'n NCC. She deserves better, dammit.
Dahlkemper. Okay, don't sue me, but I really don't have any feelings toward her either way. A lot of people love her. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about her (except this one time I saw someone roast her on IG for following Honkle, but that's her business I guess) so that's good enough for me. Also she's pretty and posts thirsty comments on her teammates pics so basically I stan a supportive Abby.
Broon. Cool as a cucumber. The voice of reason. A literal angel. Captain Becky never lets us down.
Okay. Now for who I don't think will/should make it.
AD. This makes me really, really sad. I love AD. But she's the only player on the roster who didn't get any minutes, so I think that says exactly where she stands in Vlatko's eyes. It's a shame, because she's amazing, but it's super hard to choose between her and Ash.
Lynn. Clearly Vlatko sees something in her, and tried really hard to make it happen. It didn't happen. I was kind of rooting for her, just because everyone else seemed to be against her, but she just didn't seem to connect with the rest of the team. She's fast, I'll give her that, but it's not enough.
Jmac. Another one I was rooting for just because everyone else was against her. She has talent, and when she's on she's great, but she wasn't connecting with the others.
Moe. Nothing against her, just no compelling reason to cut anyone else for her. Injury-prone, which obviously isn't good.
Allie. See Moe, minus the injuries. Bonus points for social media content, though.
Baby T. No clue where she stands with the injury. If she's 100% I have absolutely no reason why she shouldn't be on the team, but I don't know who I'd cut to keep her. If she isn't 100% I'd rather she take the time to heal completely. I know it was reported that she'd be ready to resume training around February, but a while back she herself said she didn't think she'd be 100% by the Olympics so who tf knows. She's SO young and could have 2-3 Olympics (and World Cups) ahead of her so no need to risk a career-ending injury by rushing it. But if she IS ready I'm down for her being an alternate (or, heaven forbid, making roster in the event that anyone else is injured). I like Tierna. I want a long, successful career and only good things for her.
Player I selfishly just want on the team because I like her.
Midge. She was a Thorn, so maybe I'm a little biased, but she's good, she's young (but not *young* young and inexperienced), she's versatile. I like her. A lot.
Okay, that's all I got. Let me know what y'all think.

Signs And Symptoms Of Dehydration
If you do not drink enough, sweat too much, or have severe diarrhea, you can become dehydrated. Mild to moderate dehydration isn’t that dangerous and can be corrected by drinking more fluids. If the dehydration worsens and becomes severe dehydration, you may need to have IV fluids to correct the condition. Here are some signs and symptoms of mild to moderate dehydration: • Having a dry mouth • Feeling fatigued or sleepy all the time • Having increased thirstiness • Having a decreased urine output with urine that is more yellow that it usually is • Having dry or flaky skin • Being dizzy • Having a headache from low blood volume in the brain • Crying without have many tears If the dehydration is allowed to worsen and you continue to lose body water, you may see the following signs and symptoms: • A severe reduction in the output of urine or the absence of urine at all. If there is any urine produced, it will be scant in amount and a deep yellow color or amber/brown color. • Lightheadedness or severe dizziness that is worse when you stand up or get up from a reclining position. • Orthostatic hypotension. This is a severe drop in blood pressure that occurs when you try to get up after sitting or lying down. • Rapid heart rate from the heart trying to compensate for a low blood volume. • Fever, which is usually low grade in nature • Seizures, which are usually grand mal seizures • Poor elasticity of the skin. When you pinch it, the skin tents up and doesn’t go back to its normal position. • Being lethargic or confused • Going into a coma • Suffering from extreme shock, which can be life threatening. Dehydration has a way of sneaking up on you, especially if you are otherwise occupied with other things, such as the activity you are doing or are wrapped up in being sick with vomiting and diarrhea. As soon as you start to feel the symptoms, you need to be thinking about hydrating yourself. Treating Mild To Moderate Dehydration If the symptoms are mild and you can still drink, try to step up the amount of fluids you are taking in. Water is perhaps the best choice for treating dehydration. Other good choices include Gatorade or PowerAde, which provide liquids plus electrolytes, which can be lost in sweating, vomiting, or having diarrhea. If the problem is due to vomiting or diarrhea, you can buy some Pedialyte or your doctor may prescribe anti-emetic (anti-nausea) medication. These can be prescribed for you from your doctor. Over the counter anti-diarrheal medication is another choice as long as the diarrhea isn’t from food poisoning. (In such cases, it is best to replace fluids only and allow the bacteria causing the diarrhea to flush out of your system). Treating Severe Dehydration If the dehydration is severe and you are suffering from some of the severe dehydration symptoms listed above, you need to consider checking yourself into a hospital and receiving IV fluids. IV fluids have not only the water you need but contain sugars and salt solution that will restore your normal electrolyte balance. It can take as little as a liter of fluid to turn around the dehydration or as many as five or more liters of IV fluid. Consequences Of Severe Dehydration Besides seizures, one of the main consequences of severe dehydration includes damage to the kidneys. If the kidneys do not have fluid to flush through the tubules, you can actually suffer from acute kidney failure. The kidneys can shut down and will only return to normal functioning with careful replacement of fluids and time. Replacing the fluids too fast, however, can result in cerebral edema and electrolyte disturbance within the brain. Stay Hydrated To avoid these horrible consequences drink water regularly. This is easy when you always have access to water, by keeping a bottle of water in your car, and on your desk or near you wherever you work. You can even keep a small bottle in handbag and refill it throughout the day. http://www.slim-fit-well.com/?p=2858

Signs And Symptoms Of Dehydration
If you do not drink enough, sweat too much, or have severe diarrhea, you can become dehydrated. Mild to moderate dehydration isn’t that dangerous and can be corrected by drinking more fluids. If the dehydration worsens and becomes severe dehydration, you may need to have IV fluids to correct the condition. Here are some signs and symptoms of mild to moderate dehydration: • Having a dry mouth • Feeling fatigued or sleepy all the time • Having increased thirstiness • Having a decreased urine output with urine that is more yellow that it usually is • Having dry or flaky skin • Being dizzy • Having a headache from low blood volume in the brain • Crying without have many tears If the dehydration is allowed to worsen and you continue to lose body water, you may see the following signs and symptoms: • A severe reduction in the output of urine or the absence of urine at all. If there is any urine produced, it will be scant in amount and a deep yellow color or amber/brown color. • Lightheadedness or severe dizziness that is worse when you stand up or get up from a reclining position. • Orthostatic hypotension. This is a severe drop in blood pressure that occurs when you try to get up after sitting or lying down. • Rapid heart rate from the heart trying to compensate for a low blood volume. • Fever, which is usually low grade in nature • Seizures, which are usually grand mal seizures • Poor elasticity of the skin. When you pinch it, the skin tents up and doesn’t go back to its normal position. • Being lethargic or confused • Going into a coma • Suffering from extreme shock, which can be life threatening. Dehydration has a way of sneaking up on you, especially if you are otherwise occupied with other things, such as the activity you are doing or are wrapped up in being sick with vomiting and diarrhea. As soon as you start to feel the symptoms, you need to be thinking about hydrating yourself. Treating Mild To Moderate Dehydration If the symptoms are mild and you can still drink, try to step up the amount of fluids you are taking in. Water is perhaps the best choice for treating dehydration. Other good choices include Gatorade or PowerAde, which provide liquids plus electrolytes, which can be lost in sweating, vomiting, or having diarrhea. If the problem is due to vomiting or diarrhea, you can buy some Pedialyte or your doctor may prescribe anti-emetic (anti-nausea) medication. These can be prescribed for you from your doctor. Over the counter anti-diarrheal medication is another choice as long as the diarrhea isn’t from food poisoning. (In such cases, it is best to replace fluids only and allow the bacteria causing the diarrhea to flush out of your system). Treating Severe Dehydration If the dehydration is severe and you are suffering from some of the severe dehydration symptoms listed above, you need to consider checking yourself into a hospital and receiving IV fluids.
