something i’ve seen frequently in football circles especially with the rise of social media (where ppl engage with the sport in absolutely bizarre ways but that’s another topic for another day) is this longstanding obsession with ‘(winning) mentality.’ how is it quantified? how do you prove its existence? how consistent must it be for a club to acquire this ‘mentality?’ it’s just bonkers to me because you’d assume that every club and every fanbase would want to win, just some a) have better resources to do so or b) some overperform/underperform as is the case with any sport which leads to drawing some kind of conclusions about this ‘mentality’ or c) some fanbases just have a better time rationalising a potential loss within the external factors which of course also leads to drawing conclusions about this ‘mentality.’ i guess my problem with it is just that it’s become such a buzzword where teams get either praised or insulted for their mentality when it’s so subjective and influenced by other factors too (doing well, doing badly, general trajectory of the club, personal satisfaction with individual achievements, media opinion, etc).

fully intended and foreseen consequence of coping better with my anxiety is that this blog will at some point inevitably become More Cringe and that point is SO close on the horizon. if you get mad at me for posting things i like on my blog that is for me you clearly have more issues than i do for worrying abt that possibility for hours on end

I just wanna say thank you for reblogging all the stuff spreading awareness of recent antisemitism that you have recently. You are the only person I follow who isn't jewish who I've seen do so at all (Unless I'm mistaken and you are jewish too). I know not everyone is aware of every single bad thing happening in the world at any moment, and don't think people HAVE to reboot about negative events or whatever, but how much you seem to care really warms my heart and reassures me we aren't alone (Unless, once again, I am mistaken and you are jewish)
👍but nah i'm not jewish, just pissed off

also its been AMAZING to see the reception of this world cup as someone who lives in america and has been involved in the very limited soccer community my whole life. TBF a lot of the people who ive seen watching were watching for mexico but there was a surprising amount of idk how to say it but like theyre not recent immigrants in their families theyve been in the US for generations, watching the US game yesterday?? cheering, interrupting whatever was going on?? i had the goal spoiled by someone cheering from the FLOOR BELOW ME . its so amazing to see as someone who would love to see programs here expanded ;;;;; <- is poor and outgrew the kids league a ways back

Thinking about Husk's confrontation with Alastor, focusing on the fact that he ACTUALLY managed to talk to him about it in the first place.
He knows firsthand how dangerous Alastor actually is despite the goofy persona he portrays, yet he still managed to, in some way, nearly speak to him as an equal.
He goes to him to tell on Mimzy, to warn Alastor and actually advice him to kick her out bc she's nothing but trouble. And Alastor isn't really angry about this part???
"Its nothing I cant handle, don't worry Husker."
He downplays it yea, treating Husk like a pet that couldn't possibly be on his level, but still, he wasn't mad. On some level, Husk knows he can at least speak on semi even footing with Alastor so long as he doesn't push his limits.
And how Husk's whole thing is that he can see through people. He and Alastor have known each other for a while, he's learned a lot abt him during his time as his slave, and adding that to Husk's talent, he can read the man quite well.
Its so interesting how he actually looks concerned here. Whether he's concerned for Alastor as his boss, or that Mimzy is gonna put his friends in danger, you can tell he has doubts. He's reading the situation, he's reading Alastor
And Alastor clearly doesn't like that.
Husk can read whoever he wants except Alastor. Because he's Alastor's "pet", he's leagues below Al, and yet Husk dares to read him like they're equals and that annoys him.
So he belittles Husk, again, ruffling his hair, calling him pet names, all to remind Husk where he stands on this lil hierarchy.
Also this lil rant would not be complete without pointing out how Husk actually touched Alastor, and Alastor didn't really mind.
Al was alr pretty annoyed with this lil guy, but he didn't brush him off or wipe his coat after Husk touched him. He only got mad when Husk brought up his own leash, nothing abt Husk touching him or simply talking to him. I read somewhere that Alastor considers Husk one of his closest "friends" of a sort and I love how it shows here.
It shows a really interesting twisted "friendship". Alastor, according to his standards, has already given Husk a huge bargain. He doesnt kill him, he lets Husk talk to him, speak on even footing at times. He considers Husk as one of his closest friends, bc someone who he has in chains(who would still talk back at times) is the closest thing he'll ever have to a friend. Idk where im going with this

*holds out my probably canon headcanon like a toddler showing you a cool frog*
hey what do you think abt damian calling his dad baba and his siblings various nicknames in arabic that range from zameel or jalees when he’s particularly annoyed with them to akhi (brother)/ukhti (sister) when hes rlly happy
I LOOOOOVEEEEEE IT!!!!!
anything that keeps damian in touch with his heritage is a huge yes for me. big fan of him slipping arabic words into his sentences, or repeating phrases he grew up around when he can't think of an adequate english equivalent. etc etc
similar to how people who are learning english as a second language tend to mix their native tongue into english sentences. although with damian i don't think he would do it because he isn't confident with the language (because he most definitely is), i think it's just something that's familar to him, and comfortable to slip into his english speech. + sometimes he can just articulate himself better in arabic.
as for the familial names, although he doesn't use them in canon, he very much does seek comfort from things culturally familiar to him, in gotham. such as in teen titans (2016) special #1, when he's implied to often visit a middle-eastern restaurant 'tarbooshes' which reminds him of his home in the league and his mother.
so although the nicknames aren't something shown in the comics, i don't think it'd be unlikely. he's definitely 'in touch' with his culture, and it's far from an out there idea.
as for the specific names, such as calling bruce 'baba', i'm typically all for that. though apparently in arabic that word in particular translates more to 'dad' than it does 'father'. obviously damian's very formal with his speech, so it is a question as to whether or not that would be the nickname he uses for bruce, or whether he'd use more formal titles. (this post gives some alternatives + explains it more).
usually when i see the use of 'baba' in fics, it's very fitting. i'm very partial to the 'sleepy/hurt damian letting his guard down' trope, and i thoroughly enjoy it when the writer lets him slip a "baba" to bruce. one fic that did this really well was 'repeat your favourite mistakes and love them all over again' by watchingthestars13 on ao3, in which damian (although not the focus of the story) is aged down to 2 years old by magic, and coordinates life as a toddler with bruce, rather than with the league. he's very hesitant to affection at first, so when the writer lets an 'about to fall asleep' damian, call bruce his 'baba', it's always just right.
i'm also fond of him having personal nicknames for his siblings beyond 'brother' or 'sister' in arabic. this post talks about how in arab culture it's common for people to refer to loved ones as their organs. i think it's a fun idea for damian, especially because it's something only he would understand. i think he'd be most likely to do this for dick, although maybe he has a generic one that he uses for other siblings when he's suuuuper happy with them.
but he also takes advantage of being the only arab in the house, and one huuuuundred percent switches up the nicknames he uses depending on how he feels about that sibling at a particular time. he is not above throwing flavourful remarks when he's annoyed, in a language no one else understands (whether that be arabic or not), or calling people the nastiest names he can think of.

FADE INTO YOU.
featuring: rookie!leon x fem stars agent!reader
synopsis: a collection of headcannons in which rookie cop leon has a crush on the reader, who’s a s.t.a.r.s agent
content warnings: harsh language; allusions to smut; make-out sessions; flirty reader; mostly wholesome content; canon divergent
notes: i was inspired by @darling-i-read-it when i saw the post abt Leon having a crush on a STARS agent and oml i haven’t stopped thinking about it so here i am yet again
now playing: Fade Into You by Mazzy Star
• Leon had just started his position as a rookie cop at the Raccoon City PD and he’s always given the worst little tasks and assignments
• one day though - about four days into his first week - he passes the STARS office on his way with boxes to the storage room and almost drops them all
• he sees without a doubt the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen in the STARS office, laughing at something the guy beside her said
• he has to pull himself together and take the boxes to storage room, his little heart hammering so fast the whole time
• Leon finally being introduced to you and the rest of the STARS team the next week when he’s instructed to take some paperwork to the STARS office
• he fell in love immediately when you walked to him, smiling widely, and taking the papers while introducing yourself
• he can hardly keep himself together as you walk him around the STARS office and introduce each agent to him
• he falls even harder when you scold each one, telling them all to be nice to him because he’s new
• after that, Leon always finds himself gravitating toward you any chance he gets — in the copy room, the kitchen, the shooting range
• you thinking he took a liking to you because you were one of the only ones who didn’t give him a hard time and to be honest, you didn’t really mind. he was sweet and totally lovable
• Leon honestly found it so insane how you were an absolute menace around the station
• like you would go around the office and flirt with a few officers to get them to do a task for you that you really didn’t want to do in the first place
• of course it always worked and they were all suckers for you
• and if he thought you were a menace on a daily bases, oh he was so surprised at how bold you were at holiday parties
• you would dance to the music in the most inappropriate ways possible for a work party
• and for some reason, it made him like you even more
• he also loved how you’d wear headphones with a walkman on your belt, and sing along, and dance to the music while you made copies or just walked around the station
• his crush on you was so bad, like next level bad
• in fact, you didn’t pick up on his crush on you at all. it was Jill who did. she never said a word of course, but she could just tell
• Leon always felt a little jealousy when he saw you talking to another agent, like Chris
• he knew you were out of his league, but he couldn’t help the hot jealousy in his chest as he would watch you laugh at something Chris said
• of course, he didn’t know that you’d rejected Chris when you first started working there and he asked you out a few times
• oh but Jill does. she loves to tease him for it, always reminding him of how you brutally shot him down
• and the teasing quickly becomes a problem when Leon walks by the STARS office one day and overhears Jill’s teasing
• of course, all Leon’s lovesick little brain processes are the words Chris, crush, and your name
• he doesn’t talk to you for two weeks. he ignores your jokes, your teases, your playful flirting (which he never ignores)
• until you finally get it out of him two weeks later in the shooting range
• he stammers and tells you he overheard Jill talking about you and Chris, and he likes you but it’s okay because he knows you don’t feel the same way, and you and Chris would be good together
• and you almost break then “oh, Leon, i don’t like Chris. Jill just likes to tease him because i rejected him when i started working here”
• Leon is obviously stunned “oh, uh, you don’t? sorry, i shouldn’t have said all that now i feel bad and -”
• “no, Leon. don’t feel bad. i actually kinda like you too you know…” you smiled sheepishly — which is pretty rare for you to be nervous
• Leon’s eyes widening to an unnatural size as he grins “you do? really? i didn’t think you’d like me i’m just a rookie.”
• “whether you’re a rookie or a trained professional, i like you. you’re really sweet and i know you’d treat me really well.”
• after that, you two start dating
• which is so fucking weird because a lot of the guys in the station — STARS and non-STARS — have been hitting on you and Jill since like the dawn of time
• it’s a little tense for Leon for a little while because a few other guys are even resentful you fell for a rookie and not them
• but of course Leon won’t say a word to them, so when he’s not around you put them in their place and tell them to leave him alone or you’ll fuck them up
• they are all obviously a little scared so they listen and start being nice - or as nice to a rookie as possible- to him again
• Leon always being so nervous and worrisome when you go in assignment
• seriously, he’ll worry himself to a point where he can’t sleep and he’ll nod off at his desk during the day
• when you finally get back, he always tells you how much he missed you and how worried he was and how he never wants you to leave him again
• but of course you always go on assignments. it’s a cruel cycle really
• you realize you were right — Leon did treat you so well. like a fucking princess honestly
• you believe you were so lucky that day when the lieutenant forced him to take paper work up to the STARS office
• Leon being literally the sweetest and best boyfriend you ever had and always making sure you’re okay and happy and safe
• but how could you not be happy? Leon is literally perfect to you and you couldn’t be happier with anyone else
how you can support Palestine! 🇵🇸

tank moment - mauga
summary; title slightly irrelevant, i wanted to be funny. iykyk
genre/extra tags; headcanons/bullet fic, i talk about mauga hcs i thought of on the fly, reader is implied to be a support character, reader is also part of talon group, fluff, i only know the bare minimum about him and that's all i need baby, is this platonic or romantic idk
[gender neutral reader] [canon typical violence mentioned]
a/n; im back on my overwatch era. it never really ended but, i want to write about him, mauga, the beloved. typing this on my phone and finishing on my computer if anything seems wonky shhh dont tell me i'll relive that mistake for days
also this is a somewhat lightly reseached- aka not fully accurate/detailed work. i briefly mention samoan culture and if it offends or if it's a mistake, please tell me and i will erase those parts asap.
[support me and buy a kofi]
🗣 ALRIGHT SO ‼️
i've been watching and playing with/against mauga since the trial to play him came out and god i love him
but he's kind of easy to counter (im an ana main, nade is fucking broken but that's just anti heal things) and his ult is annoying
anyways
every tank needs their heal bot to keep em up
you just happen to be mauga's heal bot KDJSJSJ
(baptiste is too probably but not really)
he's a really smug guy
no one really knows that bc he sounds so upbeat and nice
but he loves to tease you, poke at you bc he knows that you will answer to him most of the time and entertain him in conversation
you and him are probably in your world even when you're both in talon tbh
he does his own thing and you just happen to join in
(he totally baits you to join his plans and you both know it)
he's a chaotic and cunning man and you're his enabler
(sounds like me and my bestie tbh)
"a hero would sacrifice you to save the world but a villain would sacrifice the world to save you" type beat
he's lowkey possessive but we dont talk about that
jk we do talk abt it
he's your scary guard dog privileges
like that man is tall tall ‼️‼️
idk why but i dont really imagine him being like an openly sweet person
he keeps it private even with how loud he is
anyways
you know how he's on a yacht for his origin story and there's like a bunch of people who got destroyed by him?
yeah he would totally do that shit for u if you asked.
he would give you the best home but
"thanks for the new place and all but did you have to kill someone for it?"
"i mean come on! this place is nice! let's enjoy it!"
he's very "i'll do the dirty work, just sit back and look pretty." and then you're like, "yeah i could. but i won't."
dps support vibes for you ✨️
but also he's charging in most of the time so, there's not much time to dps support KDHDJDJJD
he's like the kool aid man bursting in through the walls /j
cough
back to the hcs here...
he's so tall and big, he would totally let you hang off his back like nunu and wilump (from league, yeah i play league dont remind me totally gonna write for heartsteel soon tm)
also he's literally the greatest heated blanket (ahead of roadhog)
he's so stronk and wowowowow im so gay i love him
when you're surrounded by some enemies, he's charging in, slamming the ground and carrying you with ease as he keeps you safe while destroying any enemies who even tried to touch you
ugh
despite his lack of pda, he's a very actions over words.
he's so silly
chivalry isn't dead when he breaks into a jewelry store for u 😍😍
if you ever have those crazy thoughts about crime, he's totally gonna enable you and let you reign havoc on god knows what.
love language is actions and gift giving. enough said.
when he gives you a hug, he's so fucking warm omg
i said it before and i'll say it again, he's the best heated blanket, literal furnace
bad for the people who sweat easily though (ahem me lowkey)
one the off-days where it's just a day off and relaxing, he's taking care of you well !!
when you're on talon missions, since he can't run around as easily unless he gets the okay but you do keep him company until then
he likes to protect but he loves destroying people
he knows you're able to care for yourself, so he can go crazy whenever, and he loves that.
he also loves watching you get mad or angrily passionate
"yes go, la'u ma’asoama!" (my rock/stone, get it? bc his name means mountain)
he is a really good hype man. even if you're the one in the wrong.
god I WISH I LOOKED UP MORE ABOUT HIM ARGBHYKFJ
soon (tm)
someday i'll write more.

can you please write headcanons or one-shot abt chrollo with a s/o who’s fav hobby is drifting and is OBSESSED with cars and motorcycles (your writings are the best btw<3)
Chrollo with a Drifter!S/o
Characters: Chrollo Lucilfer
Type: Headcanons, College!Au, Gn!reader
made this college au bc thats the direction my brain went i hope thats ok >.<
Warnings: none
Chrollo had always been intrigued by you
before you even started dating he's seen you around campus, often times arriving to school on your motorcycle
he thought you were seriously badass
but to him you were out of his league
why would someone as cool as you be even remotely interested in some bookworm philosophy major?
but lucky for him, you ended up formally meeting through a mutual friend
you both really hit it off at some house party Uvogin was throwing and that's how you guys ended up going on your first date
it was relatively normal, the both of you had met at a local cafe and talked about your interests and all that jazz but one detail you left out was your affinity for drifting, racing and cars
by the time the third date rolls around you insist on picking Chrollo up
he was unsure as of why but he just let it happen
another thing he was unsure of is why you scheduled this date really late at night
but when you pulled up to his apartment in this souped up sports car he was more confused about how you were even to afford all of that while being a college student
when you pulled off of the main road and into a clearing not too far out from the city he just got even more confused
"uh, were exactly are we going?" "You'll see"
after a little longer you guys saw a group of other parked sports cars and two large crowds on either side of a makeshift racetrack
before Chrollo could even fully process what was going on, you already pulled up next to this other car and there was some lady with a flag standing in front of you guys
and 3...2...1...GO! ZOOM YOU TAKE OFF AND CHROLLO IS LOSING HIS SHIT
HE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS SHIT!
you are speeding and drifting and racing this random guy, just doing your thing meanwhile Chrollo is screaming the entire time and gripping on his seat for dear life
after like an hour and a half of this madness it finally ends and you won the race yayyy
Chrollo was out of breath and could barely keep up with his own thoughts while you were already getting out of the car and claiming some sort of prize
when you get back in the car and start it back up is when he finally snaps his head towards you
"You're crazy!!...I kinda like that."
anyways you begin dating yayyy
and you always insist on doing all the driving just because you like cars so much
and Chrollo lets you because it saves him gas money but like...never race with him in the car again
he will go with you to whatever meets you want just let him out the car where he can watch semi safely from the sidelines
one day when he got into your car he noticed a sticker on the front of the dash that read "passenger princess" in pink fancy lettering
he bursts out laughing at this and its not like he can even deny it
you also bought Chrollo his own helmet for days you decide you want to ride your motorcycle
he is much more afraid of the motorcycle than your car and he refuses to ride it unless he knows for sure that what you're planning is something tame
but even if you do lie to him and take him somewhere to speed and race and drift and all of that the adrenaline makes you more attractive to him so he'll forgive you every time anyways
