Prompt 261

“So is no one going to talk about the eldritch space child or…” 

“I mean, do you want to get between a child and Batman? I think the only one who could even get close right now is Superman…” 

“No you’re right, I think- oh my god the eldritch space child is playing with batman’s bat-ears and he’s not doing anything about it what the fuck I thought only Robins could get away with that-”

Okay so I’ve seen like 20 videos on tiktok of people saying they have no idea how exy is played so I’m gonna make a post about how I understand the rules. I’m not really an athlete but I know a bit about sports and I also coincidentally went to the same school that PSU is based on

(I haven’t read the books in like 5 years so if I’m wrong about something feel free to correct me)

First thing, exy is played inside, not outside. The game can’t work in an outdoor stadium and I’ll explain why in a minute. The stadium is like a combination basketball court and hockey rink. Wood flooring and plexiglass walls surrounding the court. There are two goals on each end.

Okay so the lineup. From what I remember there’s 4 positions you can play on an exy team: dealer, backliner, striker, and goalie.

Backliner is pretty straightforward just classic defense. They protect the goal and focus on the other team’s strikers. I think it’s similar to basketball where they’re assigned a mark (opposing striker) who they have to cover during the game. That doesn’t mean they’re not free to move or check other strikers either, but basically they try to stop the other team from scoring any goals. I’m not sure if it’s against the rules for them to make an attempt on a goal or not.

Strikers are similarly straightforward. They’re straight offense. Their job is to get as many goals as possible. They work against the opposing team’s backliner and shoot at the goal

The dealer is the most confusing position but I think they basically control possession of the ball, so I think their job is to get the ball from the other team and make sure it gets to their strikers. At the start of the game or after any breaks they’re the ones who deal the ball and try to pass to their teammates. Idk if they operate similar to backliners or not, like checking, tackling, etc.

The goalie is the same as any other sport- their job is to protect the goal. Goalies have special racket that are bigger and heavier than other players. They also wear special padding to protect them since they’re constantly getting exy balls chucked at them and often have to use parts of their body to block them.

(Side note: if exy balls are anything like lacrosse balls they seriously hurt to get hit with. They’re dense and heavy, when they work up enough speed it feels like getting hit by a slightly bouncy cannon ball)

From what I can remember, at any given time there are two backliners, two strikers, one dealer, and one goalie on the court for each team. Players are subbed in and out as needed (I might be remembering the numbers wrong, maybe they have 3 backliners at a time idk)

Exy is a high contact sport similar to lacrosse, so players are free to use physical force against each other. They can check, tackle, and basically do whatever it takes to get the ball. Just like in hockey, players often get into fights. Excessive use of violence can get them flagged by referees, but it’s by no means a gentle sport. Players go into it with the expectation of getting thrown around and bruised.

Players wear padding and helmets to protect themselves, but bruises, sprains, concussions, and broken bones aren’t uncommon within the sport.

There are some basic rules for how the game is played. Exy is kinda like lacrosse in that players pass the ball back and forth with their raquets. I don’t know a lot about all the rules of lacrosse but I know exy has a rule about possession that’s similar to basketball. In basketball a player has to dribble the ball while they’re moving, if they hold it in their hands without dribbling for too many steps it’s called traveling and it’s a foul. Exy is the same, a player can only be in possession of the ball for 10 (?) steps before they have to pass it. If they carry it farther than that it’s traveling (idk if there’s a special term for it in exy speak). There are ways for players to get around this. They can either pass the ball to a teammate after they’ve taken their 10 steps OR they can rebound it off a wall, catch it in their racquet, and keep moving. This is the reason exy has to be played inside and not outside, so that the players can use the walls. If it’s played outside they can’t rebound the ball and they have to rely strictly on passing back and forth, which isn’t always possible especially if a player is being heavily guarded. I’m not positive if this possession rule applies to all players or only strikers, but it would make sense for it to be all players.

I can’t remember if the books say anything about who is allowed to shoot at the goal. Obviously strikers can but I can’t remember if there are any rules saying backliners, dealers, and goalies can’t score points

The game is played in 2 halves, a total of 4 quarters. I’m not sure if the book ever says how long each quarter is but it’s probably safe to assume each is 15 minutes, so a total of 1 hour playing time. However with timeouts, breaks, penalty time and other interruptions games usually last far longer.

The foxes are a unique team because they’re much smaller than pretty much any other team in the league. They only have 9 players by the end of the year, so they can’t sub players in and out as easily. Most teams have upwards of 18 people so the players are usually on court for a much shorter time and have more time to rest between playing time. In the foxes vs. Trojans game, USC decided to play with the same size roster as the foxes meaning they rarely got to sub out players, which is why they were so exhausted by the end. Throwing yourself around a huge court at top speed for an hour is tiring.

That’s all I can think of at the moment, I’m not an expert and it’s been a while since I’ve read the books but I think exy is a pretty cool sport :)

HEAR ME OUT: the prudes gang play DnD.

Richie DMs. Pete DMed for them before but Richie wanted to try his hand at a campaign- its every anime or fantasy world and story hes every seen combined into one and its SO FUN.

Pete plays a Half Elven Wizard (Divination), Ruth plays a Theifling Bard (Glamour), and then they befriend Steph she joins as a Human Rogue (Soulknife). Richie makes his own mini-s and battlemaps and stuff.

Bonus for if Grace or Max ever join they play a Aasimar Cleric (Life) and a Goliath Barbarian (Beserker) respectively

i think i read this on your blog somewhere but just checking; are you okay with folks writing fics in the princess luz'verse? i'm fascinated by all this sickfic talk and may want to try my hand at it

oh absolutely!! i LOVE seeing what people do inspired by this verse. there's never enough messy AU owl house content to go around. and i love sickfics so, double excitement!

(i also drop this link every time the subject comes up because i love this fucking fic so much: here is an incredible fic inspired by the AU where hunter meets willow bc she's growing weed with eda. this is only tangentially related to your question, i just want everyone in the world to read it.)

In this post it’s noted both Herbert West and Weyoun have a body language of leaning back to communicate something nonverbally. In the Reanimator cast commentary, Jeffrey Combs comments on his intentional movement to fake leave, then come back to his partner in this scene. I submit that there are actually several intentional Combs Manuevers that speak 1000 words.

It been on my mind and I can’t explain why, but I have a headcanon where Aziraphale and Crowley are hanging out in the bookshop as they drink wine and banter like all days during a rainstorm. That is until Aziraphale sheepishly asked Crowley if they could slow dance, why? Perhaps because he was curious what make this dance intimate or an excuse to dance with Crowley? Or maybe even relive his hopeless romantic dream that was conjured by all the book from Jane Austen? Regardless it got Crowley intrigued of this sudden want to dance as Angels don’t usually dance, well at least not most anyway if Aziraphale asking to dance.

So, Aziraphale puts on music to maybe set the mood for the slow dance as he blushes red as well as his heart skipping beats. But he look at Crowley as they get into position as the songs play beautifully to fit the dance; the dance was a tad awkward as Aziraphale never did such a dance which could ensue chuckles and casual banter until Crowley helps him get the dance right as once thing went smoothly is when Crowley place his head against Aziraphale’s forehead as he hold on to him close, maybe to not let this moment go? Whatever reason it caused Aziraphale to blush even more as besides the time where he was pin to the wall is one of the few time he was this close to Crowley. He can’t help but close his eyes and smile shyly as he put his head on Crowley’s shoulder which caused his heart to sing and blush almost as red as his own hair; while he have dance before he would’ve never thought in almost 6000 years that he would ever dance with Aziraphale let alone Aziraphale asking to have such an intimate dance with him.

“A-are you enjoying this?” Crowley maybe would ask Aziraphale. Wanting to make sure that this is what his Angel hoped for.

“Of course, a-are you?” Aziraphale would respond in return looking at Crowley.

All Crowley could do is nod as his face grew more red, he smiles softly as the dance continue on. He would turn/dip him to spice the dance up which would at first caught Aziraphale off guard but once explained would ease into the dance as Aziraphale start to do so in return (W/Crowley’s help). He start to understand why people would melt during this dance as he look at Crowley deeply in his yellow eyes reminiscing of all the moment he had with him as well as back to when he realize he’s in love with him back at 1941. As well as Crowley look at Aziraphale’s Hazel-ish blue eyes, the same eyes that made him fell for him all those millennia ago, the same eyes that he look forward to see everyday along with his bubbly smile, the same eyes that he would do anything for. They both now begin to mutually rest their head on their forehead as they silently dance with the song still play wishing that the song could play forever so they can be in this dance forever more.

I’d like to reward your KH knowledge with an all-out, godless salad-tossing.

I’d also just like to reward you in general for being a funny, nerdy, and sexy little caked-up phone man, but it is what it is. 😊

Yippee!!!! I knew doing multiple replays of tetsuya nomura’s wild ride would get my ass ate one day 🥳

Just don’t ask me about the phone games.

THE END OF OBEY ME FOR ME??

Hi, lol. This is mostly for those that follow me for my Obey Me content.

Unfortunately I am no longer hyper fixating on Obey Me. As much as I love the game, it’s not my main focus anymore. I want to branch out and post OC stuff. Of course that doesn’t mean I’m leaving the game forever. I love Mammon, Mephisto, and Raena too much to just leave it. If it gets to the point that I actually do leave the game…. I’ll probably just throw M&M into the OC machine.

I’ll probably post a shitpost, doodle, or game update every once in a while.

Until then, I hope you all have a great time and I’m sorry to those who enjoyed my Obey Me content.

Tiana The Series really needs to hire me as a writer because I’ve already got plans on how we’re going to subtly incorporate tts into it.
