Can we have an episode of these two and the other Viltrumites on earth going bowling.

And a beach episode of them playing volleyball.

[everythingroyalty]

the england men makes the final of the 2024 euros and william (president of the fa) attends 3/7 of their games

meanwhile the england women makes the final of the 2023 world cup and william (president of the fa) attends 0/7 of their games

kate (patron of the aeltc) pointedly decides to attend the 2024 wimbledon men's final over the women's final

one day this bizarre behaviour will be studied 🙃

The real reason Jason hated Tim specifically is bc Jason wears his crocs exclusively in sport mode and Tim wears them exclusively in leisure mode

So I didn't get in with the tryouts but it taught me quite a little bit about how it all actually works.

I have no experience, all I know about playing volleyball was the two years I did in an incomplete team in high school and recently I've been at 3 leisure practices with people who really just play for fun. First thing that I learned: you check your teammates at every point, whether you lose or you win. It helps keep the link between players going.

Second thing I learned is that I lack a lot of the basics (understandable after 5 years without practice and no real formal learning). I've never really been confronted with a proper block so as much as I love digging (receives) I don't know how to correctly position myself. (For example when the block is taking the cross shot I should really go to the left/right end of my zone and put my foot on the line to get the line shot).

I was really lucky that my team was nice enough to put up with my lack of technique and try to give me tips. Another thing is since I've never really learned how to spike my approach is terrible and I never do it right (coach told me to go back to get more control once in the air).

Thirdly my stamina is not good enough. This was intense and I powered through it on pure will but I should really do something about it. I should also work on my pass and my set cause they were very inconsistent.

Finally coach was really nice and tried to let me down as easily as possible at the end of the try outs in a one-on-one but I knew i was aiming too high and i was really glad to have done it anyway and though it would have been cool to be selected I knew my chances were slim. However he offered to go to the monday lessons that are actual lessons with the coach that taught him how to play and the leisure matches are against really good players who just aren't into competition.

I got one year then. I gotta get good, good enough to try again for competition for 2025-2026. But before that I have to get my stamina up in two months.

Hello...

Oct 27 2023

As an avid peruser of Tumblr, I've only now published my first post, and I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Today marks the commencement of this blog!

I've been a consumer of Tumblr content for ages. In this time, but especially recently, I've thought about possibly bringing to life my own ask/request ideas. Usually, I like to daydream and think about possible scenarios or writing prompts, but I never act on those urges. However, I've decided to bite the bullet.

I've always had a knack for writing, but I've tended to steer clear from fiction. I think by being in control of my own fan fiction, as well as making reviews etc, I'll be able to express myself in a way that I never have. The emphasis here though is that it'll be posted on a public forum for all to see. There'll be an audience.

I hope this'll be therapeutic. I hope this will most of all bring me joy. Perhaps in writing and expressing my opinions, other things will come, such as developing my own characters and prompts. You never know! It couldn't hurt. Even if no one enjoys my writing, just the mere prospect of making a blog (oh my god!) is so exciting to me. As I go, I'll establish who and what I write for based on my interests (obviously), whether that be via fan fiction stories, philosophising, or reviews/journalling. Will need to work out a system of organisation...

Considering this is new, any tips regarding formatting, posting, tagging, linking masterlists etc etc would be very much appreciated if you can be arsed 🤣
