... i want you to drop your numbered list of s4 problems <3

omg anon i love you. sorry if this gets long except no im not you asked for MY list so you shall receive MY long ass list!!!

obligatory if you don't want to hear criticism then don't go further. it is not my problem if this enrages u. but if u disagree/agree/have other opinions let me know im totally fine with some respectful back-and-forth about this season. despite what i make it sound like i don't HATE it and im open to other opinions

i do not talk about the marwa problem because. yeah. there's one more episode i guess. so what i'm saying is come back next wednesday to hear me talk about the marwa problem

character traits and flaws are being played up in excess

remember how DUMB nandor is? remember how BAD he is at understanding others? he is never going to understand a single thing said to him or when someone is upset or when he has made a mistake despite having established deep relationships with these characters. and also he's going to have the same story arc as last season but with a LOT less respect for women!!! (so much for himbo)

nadja is #GIRLBOSS (a lot of people might go "well maybe i like her like this!!!!" ok fine sorry that i like my female characters to be more than a plot device. she had to want a night club so they could do night club stuff. so empowering. she's had some good moments this season but half the time its YAS GIRLBOSS!!! ok just recognizing that this is a stupid "feminist" trope doesn't make it anything more than that)

laszlo is BISEXUAL DAD (honestly don't have a lot of issues here. good for him. just wish they would chill out with the Quippy One Liners. they're funny because they exist within the narrative)

guillermo is SOMEHOW STILL BEING MISTREATED (despite having 2 seasons dedicated to this particular issue. can we move on)

2. disregard of detail

ok it's stupid but it really DOES bother me that the intro has adult colin pictures when the intro was adjusted to fit details like colin's death in the past. if the vampires in-universe see baby colin as being his own person, why do we see him lumped into the same images as adult colin?

other little things that bug me

the vampires are suddenly well liked and have friends in the community (nadja's club opening and nandor's wedding)

the baron being seen as someone of prestige when the whole thing was that he is a vampire nobody

ignoring the big obvious fact that there WAS a vampire nightclub

where is all this blood coming from

hypnosis was previously only used as an occasional plot device and we got a whole episode about why that is (brain scramblies) and now it is in EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. it is TIRING. it is CHEAP. it is NOT. INTERESTING.

the nightmarket just existed this whole time?

all the wishing stuff. if nandor was willing to take guillermo's advice for one wish, why not others?

3. bigger isn't better/nothing matters

so in the past, wwdits was built upon a pretty simple concept: What if vampires existed in modern day, but they were pathetic and lame and boring?

oh an epic and powerful baron is meeting with them? no he's actually lame and also guillermo kills him on accident. a trial with the vampiric council?? nah it's in some basement and the vampires get away because colin brought an umbrella. vampire killers??? lame inexperienced group of young adults who end up not killing a single vampire.

things had weight and importance. the show worked as a dark silly mocumentary because it felt grounded in the simple docu-type shit, like "how would modern vampires find more virgins to eat?" "how does guillermo get rid of bodies?" now it's like, yeah we have blood on tap pretty much. whatever.

4. the fucking time jump

why spend an entire season setting up an epic three part finale which then sets up an insane cliffhanger to fucking throw it away within the first episode? tension created for nothing. elaborate story set up for nothing. character's individual motivations and obstacles set up for nothing. no pay off. makes season 3 feel significantly less good because what was it even for anyways

5. character motivation

character motivation is not shown or understood over time: it is not stated ("i want a vampire nightclub!") and assumed we believe it

vampire night club. just.........................this has never, EVER made sense for nadja's character. especially now. there was 0 set up to indicate she would ever want a thing like this. is this trying to be more female-empowering? ppl might call it "satire" or "subverting tropes" but it isnt enough to just preform a trope and state in-universe that you know it is a trope (saying she is a girlboss)

nandor wants to find love still i guess. this feels sort of like they realized nandor was left without something to do after scrapping his journey home story so they were like ok i guess he's just doing the same thing he did last season. i thought his new motivation was to find himself but i guess they just didn't feel like doing that anymore so

6. the nandermo problem

ok. this isn't so much a criticism like the other ones as it is...idk. my Feelings or something.

if this is NOT leading to nandermo: ok i guess. not the end of the world. sucks that they baited this particular couple (not QUEERBAITED, yes, i am aware) and continued to run the "WHO IS NANDOR'S LOVE INTEREST!" plotline into the ground for nothing but ok. i would have been fine with a brief romance and a horrible break up FYI. they are just funny when they are obsessed with each other. sue me

if this IS leading to nandermo: would it fucking kill you to act like it. what's the point in them getting together if they avoid the two of them being together or having any normal romantic/sexual subtext like the plague except for one-off lines and D-plots. either commit or don't

7. actually fuck you im adding this one to the list

ohhh we are so diverse ohhhh we are so inclusive look at all the same sex casual sexual relationships and romances. NAME A WOMAN. NAME A WOMAN. yes we've gotten f/f breadcrumbs but can nadja just fuck a woman or something. can we just have some same sex women in here. so much classic lesbian media is vampire related it would not be that hard. it would not fucking kill you. come on.

charmaine is there. the guide is there. marwa is there. better yet get some more female characters in general. better YET. i want my jenna back

#wwdits #read my post i have cool thoughts and opinions everyone.#i made an excel spreadsheet of every episode frome very season im so normal lately #i like some of s4 but do u know what i like even more? complaining. and the other seasons #wwdits s4 #what we do in the shadows #should i do it guys...shoudl i tag it as....#imd oing it.#nandermo #mic drop!!!!1 #seriously even if u loved this season just shoot me an ask. we can talk aobut it babe i promise

HCS-La Squadra’s Dictionary, where are they from? Part 3

Part 1 (Melone and Ghiaccio)

Part 2 (Formaggio and lluso)

Risotto; Prosciutto

Risotto

Sicily, (Messina)

Risotto was born in Messina.

He speaks almost exclusively messinese (dialect of Messina). He began to speak proper Italian only when he became the leader of his team and could only be understood by one member, Prosciutto.

Messina has an historical rivalry with Palermo.

Some typical features of the Sicilian dialect are also present in the dialect of Messina, together with some dialectal peculiarities shared with the dialect of Reggio Calabria:

A unique feature of the Messina dialect is that the 'i' in unstressed syllabes that are not positioned at the beginning of a word is pronounced /ɨ/:

e.g.

Missina /mɨˈsːina/ "Messina" > missinisi /mɨsːɨˈnisɨ/ "Messinese" (and not /misːiˈnisi/)

Favourite expressions (dialect)

"Ma fai u seriu, vaia, babbu." (Are you serious? Stop talking nonsense, you dumbface.)

"A ietta sangu." (lit. Bleed to death)

"Non ti scantari." (Don't be afraid)

"Babbiddiu." (Dummy.)

"Baciannicchiu." (Stupid.)

"Ma pensu..." (I think so...)

"A cauci’nto culu!!" (Quickly!!)

"Non ni inchiri i pila." (Stop bothering me.)

"A viri sta manu? a vo virri cu zum?" (You see this hand?Wanna get a closer look?)

"Vidi mi ti fazzu fari Messina-Palemmu vulannu." (I'll slap you so hard that I'll make you fly from Messina to Palermo).

"Ti ni ghiavu una chi pi ghiavartini n'autra ta ciccari cu la scientifica." (I'll give you a slap, so hard that to give you another I have to look out for you with forensics.)

"Si non ti stai fermo, ti fazzu tornare cu casciabancu." (Quit it or I'll make you sleep in a casket.)

"Vogghiu i provi, cca' i vogghiu." (I want proofs. And I want them here and now.)

"Voi vidiri comu vegnu docu e ti pigghiu a tumpulati?" (Want to see me come there so I can start beating you?)

"A mia mi pari na pigghiata pu u culu." (This is fucking fraud.)

"Ti manciu l’anma." (You're dead meat.)

"MANNAIA LA CULONNA" (this clever imprecation substitutes a terrible blasphemy)

Risotto explaining that the target is in a very far away location

Formaggio:"Aò! 'Ndò sta er coglionazzo?"

(Where's our next target?)

"Casa di ddiu"

(Miles from anywhere.)

Formaggio:"Mecojoni."

(Of course.)

Risotto teaching Pesci how to park

"Quannu senti a’ bbotta, rruasti."

(When you hear the car bumping, it means you're arrived at your destination)

Risotto reproaching one of his team members

"Ma cettu chi tu matri era mbriaca quannu ti fici."

(Your mother was definitely dead drunk when she conceived you.)

Risotto tired of hearing about Formaggio's latest affair

"Ma l'hai u pottu d'ammi pi sparari sti minchiati?"

(Do you have a gun license just to shoot the shit?)

Prosciutto

Sicily, (Palermo)

Born in Palermo from a family associated with Cosa Nostra.

Illuso defines him as a "terrone ripulito" because even if he does not often speak in palermitano, he has a really thick accent.

Risotto once said to him: "Non sirvi chi parri tischi-toschi, si sente di dove si.). With the expression "Tischi toschi" (which literally means:'like the Tuscans') he straight up told him that it's useless for him to hide his accent and to pretend he comes from the north.

Prosciutto always tries to speak proper italian, but when he gets angry, he resorts to palermitano.

Palermo and Messina hate each other, but Prosciutto has nothing but respect for Risotto.

Since palermitano is another diatopic variety of the Sicilian dialect, it has a lot of things in common with the messinese.

A lot of expressions are actually shared by both dialects. So it's not rare to hear Prosciutto and Risotto saying the same things with some little phonologic differences.

Favourite expressions (dialect)

“Amunì” (Let's go!)

"Si na camurrìa" (you're a nuisance)

"Ma va scassacci ‘a minchia." (Stop bothering me.)

"Si nuddu ammiscatu cu nente." (You're worthless.)

"Si na negghia." (You're a good for nothing.)

"Muoviti ddruocu" (Don't move.)

"Cca sugnu." (I am here, I take life the way it is.)

"Suca" (lit. suck it.)

"Bedda Maaaaatri!" (Imprecation.)

"Va ecca u vilianu" (Die.)

"I buscasti mai a st'ura." (Have you ever been beaten at this time of the day?)

"Ti pigghiu pi capiddi e ti fazzu fari Palermo-Catania tipo Via Banniaria" (I grab you by the hair and then I'll drag you from Palermo to Catania like Via Bennaria)

"Ti dugnu na boffa ca ppi daritinni n'autra t'avi a veniri a circari a scientifica" (I'll give you a slap, so hard that to give you another, I have to look out for you with forensics.)

"MANNAIA LA CULONNA" (this clever imprecation substitutes a terrible blasphemy.)

can i know why the tumblr football community does not like ronaldo and his family? i've been in the midst of twitter football community for too long before joining tumblr so i'm genuinely curious.

sorry if i come off as rude but i genuinely am curious :")

JDNSJDMEKD LOL ITS OKAY!! twt and tumblr r VERY different environments primarily bc most of the toxicity we get on here has transferred from twt. but also most of us r not weird cis men w lil dick syndrome that must unhealthily idolize/defend rich male athletes/celebs.

so to start off w ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against their children okay. kids r innocent to the faults of their parents. u cant choose who raised you. i just hope they're happy and healthy as all children should be.

there's a whole laundry list of things i can say about cr7 including admitting to r*pe, being an egotistical weirdo (slamming his old teams, acting out when he doesn't get minutes, etc.), and other generally weird rich person cringe that a man nearing 40 should not be acting like.

georgina on the other hand idk know much about other than my general distaste for celebs and out of touch weirdos who get their own netflix reality tv series by doing absolutely nothing. i dont like athlete family gossip especially about families so i generally ignore their existence unless the athlete shares that part w the public or it affects my games. she's also just a rlly weird person? i havent watched the "documentary" but from some clips ive seen im like? rlly?? this is what got renewed for a second season but my series got cancelled why??? ik a mutual of mine hate watches the series tho. anyways many ppl just dislike her by association to cr7. they also recently both got an exemption from saudia to live not married to keep them there. like they changed the countries LAWS to fit them bc cr7 can't put a ring on it. whether u agree w the law or not that weird as hell right?? not that im surprised saudia allowed this bc those fuckers r the worst.

at one point (2016ish?) she represented the dream wag life. she met a famous athlete working in retail at a luxury store and then started a life w him after. a lot of ppl still like her. what was her wording again: "i went from riding busses to work to leaving in lambos"

so yah that's just my reasonings on it tho. like there r other ppl in football i wouldn't mind seeing docu series on but that's bc they actually do things that aren't philanthropic events for tax write-offs.

#asks #ur not rude at all!!#me and a few others r a rarity tho as rma fans #she's still rlly popular on here and tiktok just not in my circle of mutuals

hiiiii dear

tbh i find the whole thing hilarious, i was already tired of harry styles, like, in general lmao and now this is just so fucking funny to me

chris pine apparently dissociating through his interviews, the whole spitgate thing is like jesus fucking christ, idk if he actually did it or not but still, someone save mr pine

i hope ms pugh is out there on a beach watching this all go down on twitter and having a laugh tbh

praying for harry's pr team, between these and the balding accusations theyve got their work cut out for them

my friend said they should make a movie of the filming and release bc it's such a fun shitshow and i 100% agree, i think ms flo would totally agree to play herself on it

what do you think tho??

sending you tons of love and hugs, hope you're resting and staying hydrated

-M<333

(oh btw did you get my long ass ask bc if tumblr swallowed it i might just cry, no pressure to reply if you did get it tho)

hi hi hi!!!

ive been seeing soo many ppl dragging harry styles and like i dont hate him but it is funny thats all

chris pine😭😭 hes thinking of writing some looong pages in his journal . the spitgate was so random and ive never seen so many ppl analyze the video screen by screen like come on[i mean except armys during court cases but u get me right] also this vid💀💀💀

little "miss flo" collected her cheque and is on vacation like i love that for her

also all the reviews stating that pugh is the saving grace for the movie is really like, i feel like im back in 7th grade and listening to all the shit that kids used to tell me cause i was the quiet kid™

harry pr team is working overtime fielding off the dwd drama, then moving on to the bald rumors, then going on to my policeman , and then the cycle continues . [also why did harry just randomly kiss that kroll guy with tongue fskdhflr]

not gonna lie i would sit down for many hours to watch any docu-series/film about the drama surrounding dwd , im hella nosy lmaoo

if i was an actor in dwd i would be smart and not agree to be a whistle blower, but unfortunately im not smart i just know trigonometry formulas so i would dish everything like its a buffet

😬tis the only ask i received, but honestly take ur time in replying!!!!

sending u loads of love and soup!!! stay safe !!!!

#m for mwah! and mwah! and mwah

another helping of living w/ bakugou thoughts:

pls i am so sorry, i feel like i bombard y’all with these constantly, but u don’t understand, he literally lives in my brain full time

- if you’re rolling your sleeves up, to wash your hands before dinner, he’ll whack your hands away and do it himself. very much “you’re takin’ too long, idiot. i wanna eat already. let me do it.”,, don’t be fooled tho, you could do it in 2.5 seconds and he’d still open his mouth. bc it has absolutely nothing to do with u and everything to do with him wanting to be close to you

-ik he watches the mha equivalent of the history channel. i just know it. dude is a grandpa at heart, n im so confident he would 100% sit down and watch a 3 hr docu on like, old weaponry or some nerdy shit

-bakugou is annoyingly arrogant, but only about things that don’t matter. like, he’ll fully sit in front of you and tell you he’s stronger/faster/smarter in passing conversation,, but when he does actually impressive shit??? the man clams up. absolutely clams up the second you praise him, trying to brush off whatever ridiculous feat he just pulled to protect u with a “It’s not that big a deal, shut up about it already, dumbass.”

- pls mans is an absolute simp. u ask him to do something and he’s on his feet in a second. ofc he’s complaining but he’s also then following that up by doing things you didn’t even ask him to do. fan behavior honestly.

-when you’ve had a bad day, he’ll make u food and throw blankets in the dryer for u. don’t expect much verbal comforting from him, bc obviously, but he’s pretty good with actions. you always feel a little warmer after he’s wrapped you in a blanket n fed you something ungodly spicy

- i have absolutely no basis for this but ik he secretly watches kids movies. like, if it’s animated then he’s there. ofc no one is allowed to find out about this ‘embarrassing’ behavior tho, except maybe you. maybe. if you accidentally happen to see it bc he’d never tell u himself.

- he’s a beast to wake up in the morning, but he’s a lot more easy to convince if u pet his hair. or rub his back/shoulders. maybe even kiss his neck. look, u cannot tell me that he doesn’t want to be absolutely coddled in the morning- especially when he can get away with it so easily.

-bakugou always pulls ur legs into his lap if u sit down next to him. pls he’s so weird, he’ll just like, tap his fingers on ur calves absentmindedly while he’s watching tv

-he probably created a playlist of songs ur ‘allowed’ to play around him. meaning, it’s only the songs on ur phone that he likes 🙄

-bakugou always takes his work phone calls outside. like if his phone rings he’ll just stand up n walk tf out the door to take it. even if it’s cold. u ask him once about it n he just “Work stays at work. This is my fuckin’ home. Now shut up about it already.”

-you’ve never once seen this man wearing socks around the house. don’t ask me, i cannot explain this whatsoever, but i just kno this man walks around constantly barefoot 🤢🤮 unfortunately.

-he’s like, the most functional person ever in almost every aspect, but the stuff katsuki is bad at?? pls he is hopelessly bad. like, lets say art stuff. omg he just doesnt have the patience for it, okay, so say goodbye to any dreams of cute lil couple’s crafts. like, he’ll sit there while u do yours, but his will look like utter shit

- during the week, katsuki is either at work, training, or at home. pls, he works so hard during the day that i highly doubt he’s anything but an absolute homebody during the work week.

- bakugou gets pissy if u re-arrange any of the furniture on a whim. pls he likes comfort and familiarity n if he stubs his toe on the stupid coffee table one more fucking time, he’s going to scream

-its a rare occurance,, especially bc of the crazy hours he works,, but bakugou rlly likes making dinner for u to come home to. he just likes to feel like he’s taking care of u tbh

-he still goes to bed at like 8:30. or thats what u think, but rlly he just goes to sit in your room and have some time to himself for a bit. as much as he loves u, he prob still needs some alone time to recharge

-bakugou takes meticulous care of any plants u have in the house. like he’ll water them on a strict-ass schedule, n preen them when necessary. pls the way he’ll curse them out if they even dare to wilt under his care?? very much “What the hell, you bitch? ‘m doin’ everything fuckin’ perfect! Grow already!”

-katsuki is such a little bitch when he’s sick. he’ll be running like a 103 temp, brain literally melting, and still trying to get up and work out. the only way u can get him to chill the hell out is if u take a nap with him. ofc that means u always get sick too,, but hey- lil sacrifices right??

-he never lets you get the door. like, if there’s a knock n neither of u knows who it could be,, pls he’s on his feet so fast. waving u away n looking thru the keyhole w/ sm suspicion

-he has his spot on the couch, n u will not find him sitting anywhere else. like, that’s his spot. u better pray for anybody who mistakenly takes it

-bakugou doesn’t like dirt or grime, so he won’t allow you or himself, to sit on your bed with clothes that have been outside. like, even if you’re just sitting on top of the covers, he’s gonna throw a fit and demand you change your clothes first bc “No way in hell am I gonna let your dumbass dirty up my bed.”

-katsuki rlly likes when it storms outside. he’ll go sit in front of the window and watch the rain, sipping on a warm drink while he waits for more thunder.

-living with bakugou is incredibly frustrating, bc he’ll just show up with new skills all of the goddamn time. like you’ll be like, “hmm i’d love to remodel the bathroom someday”,, and the very next weekend bakugou is meticulously re-tiling the bathroom floor by hand, probably also painting the walls in a new color, maybe even installing a new sink just to spruce it up. n then he’ll just present the entirely new, upgraded room with such weird nonchalance that it pisses u off. pls and if you watch him while he does these little projects, with all the weird precision and skill he suddenly gains?? pls you’re sure he must be possessed by the ghost of a craftsman

- when he hangs out with the bakusquad, he’ll drag you along every time. he expects you to sit with him the entire time and act as a social buffer?? basically, someone’ll ask him a question, one he deems stupid and therefore not worth answering, and bakugou will just look at you expectantly. he’ll just stare at you blankly, hardly even blinking until you pick up the slack and answer for him. you call him out on this many times, but it doesn’t matter. it doesn’t change anything. he does this over and over and over again

-bakugou gets really unsettled when you guys fight. like, he can’t sleep and he’s snapping at everybody, and is somehow more aggressive than usual. he always wants to just make up already, but the pride in the way won’t allow it

-he’s a weird stickler about intended furniture functionality?? like, the table is for eating, and the couch is for watching tv, and then only way you’re gonna get him to mix the two is if you ask him rlly rlly nicely

-finally- i have no basis for this one, but ik it in my heart: bakugou has a very intense fight with your thermostat nearly every single day. he swears up and down that it never ‘behaves’ for him, but every time you check it, it’s working perfectly fine

--/--

ahahhaa sorry y’all for the super random spam today,, but here were are back to our regularly scheduled bakugou programming,,,, bc idk if it’s obvious ur honor, but i love him

#bnha bakugou #mha bakugou #bakugou katsuki #katsuki bakugou #bakugou x reader #bakugou x y/n #bakugou x self insert #bakugou hcs #bakugou headcannons #bakugou fluff #bnha fic #mha fic #mha headcannons #bnha headcannons

another great ep i had to commemorate it in points:

- i freaking love diaper bestie friendship. seungwan protect jiwoong like a lion mom. it hurts to see how she cornered when she's done nothing wrong. she even sacrifice her futureㅡaltho it more like her staying true to herselfㅡbut thats also partially because man who continually abused her best friend never deserve her apology. she's so fucking cool and brave and awesome. i know she'll do even greater things and she will stay awesome. thank you for this seungwan's centric ep!!

- jiwoong crying on seungwan's shoulder... blaming himself bc all misfortunes in seungwan's life come from their friendship but seungwan saying she'd have been dying from boredom if it's not bc of him GAH THATS A TRUE KINDRED SPIRIT THING

- seungwan and her badass mom put the abusive teacher on his place that's so true!! and well they do really look a like I'm surprised!!!

- i love how yijin taking care of seungwan, even lying that she is his cousin (well, partially, it's true now given how they live in same house). i love yijin is so nonchalant to jiwoong but he's also taking care of him. we know he's been taking care of yurim since forever, and we know he's been more than taking care of na heedo. he's been looking out for everyone; his friends, his family. aside him being responsible adult, it's just him give the love he has been receiving from his fam back to others. and that's so heartwarming to see.

- yijin having another live broadcasting breakdown and almost ruining it POOR HIM but also that's funny to see his ruined notes

- yijin swooning over heedo's french bc yea man SAME

- i thought yeji gonna continue fencing once she taste win but she's really eager to give up i didn't see that coming... her coach doing everything she can to make her stay so it's sad to see her lost her student but also it's encouraging to see her brave enough to take another path, stray from one she had been doing all of her life that's must a life challenging decision

- yijin trying hard to put umbrella right above her head when she's rambling & keep her close while walking ajhdakvdsksjskkd

- based on still cut preview when heedo at the hotel i thought yijin was talking to another reporter regarding heedo and something about the docu that went wrong I DID NOT EXPECT IT AT ALL HE'S HAVING A HEATED (thanks to jealousy????) CONVO WITH DALKONG WHERE HE GATEKEEPING HER???? pls that's hilarious

- heedo flirting using yurim's banana milk as excuse to stay longer with him and him knowing EXACTLY what she means and smiling like a fool PLSSS THATS CUTE

- heedo & jiwoong ended up the only one taking CSAT none of them see this coming neither do i

- overthinking time when heedo say yeji & seungwan event make a crack that make things no longer same PLS IM SCARED?

- heedo's new straight her looks cute & pretty

- and yeah... finally... the ending scene.... well i guess the world end for me at that moment bc when she make first move and kiss him THAT LONG i feel my world EXPLODEEEEE like heedo??? how long have u been holding back urself???? i know it's a lot of hard work we've seen how yijin did all kind of heartfluttering things it must been hard AAAA HEEDO MY GIRL YOU'RE UNSTOPPABLE

- yijin???? man???? you're just staying still??? like i know he shouldn't be doing this but i know he can't push heedo and I KNOW he kind of want it too right man don't lie to me i know it's right

- GIVE ME ANOTHER KISS WHEN HE KISS BACK!! BETTER YET WHEN HE INITIATED IT FIRST!!! GIVE ME THAT BEFORE ANY ANGST SHIT HAPPENED I BEG U

#twenty five twenty one #my: rants #god my head my heart both are combusting #i fear of next ep but please whatever it is stay good #bc as of now it's still perfect to me

Hi! This is my first time doing this BTS machup, so I'm a little nervous but excited. I hope to not overshare nor make any English mistake lol

Pronouns: she/her

Sign: Virgo

Personality type: ISFJ-T (Defender) ISFJs are often described as kind, reliable, and trustworthy. Because they are hard-working, dependable, and rarely seek accolades for their own accomplishments. I'm social, which is sometimes rare for introverts, and usually take the role of a leader. If I'm new I struggle to talk to people, but if I'm not then I try to include the new people. I can be in a large group of people and in outdoors activities (even if they are extreme) but my battery runs out, so I need to be alone, quiet and get some peace.

Physical features: I have brown eyes, I'm in the light side of Latinos, I have little muscle, I'm a bit chubby, my hair is wavy and brown (it's also short now) , my lips and nose are like medium size (?)

Interests: I'm interested in drawing, painting, singing, sculpture, writing, anime, manga, Kpop ofc, kdramas (mostly romance), docu series, some sitcoms, police shows or real crime series, reality shows, mental health, the behavior of the human being, I love to read books, to investigate and write documents about topics, and I have practiced several sports thorought my life so they are important to me. I'm now practicing karate but gymnastics, badminton, and swimming were important to me.

Likes: aside from my interests, I like order, visually satisfying info, peace, nature, animals, physical activities, staying at home, cooking, sleeping, relax, and I'm open to new activities and dishes.

Dislikes: I don't like the texture of onions or chilly peppers, I don't like loud noises, I don't like to see people or animals being abused, I don't like people who don't have in mind others, ppl who are extremely selfish, self-centered or narcissistic, ppl constantly complain even when others have offered to help, ppl who don't even try or want to communicate and ppl who take advantage of others.

Thank u so much! I hope it's not to much. I also love your content <3

I match you with...

jungkook!

even though Jungkook knows how independent you are and that you don’t need other’s acknowledgment or praise, he still always showers you with compliments

he loves when he receives compliments and praises from his other members, especially Hoseok

and he knows that even if you don’t need his praise, he does it to see the way your face lights up or how you try to brush it off even though he knows you love it

he greatly admires how even though sometimes you may struggle to talk to new people, you try your best to include new people when you can so that they can feel more comfortable

since you are one of the few people jungkook knows that also enjoys extreme activities, he’ll drag you around everywhere to do the things no one else will do with him

the other members always call jungkook crazy for the way he enjoys things like bungee jumping or the Nevis swing in New Zealand without even a little bit of fear

but when you tag along, equally enjoying it as much as jungkook and having even more fun because you’re doing it together, they can’t help but think that you two were really meant for each other

jungkook understands needing some time alone, especially after being around other people for a while

but for him, you’re an exception

spending the day with the other members or with your friends, jungkook is very attentive to you

and when he notices your battery start to run out, he’ll pull you away and take you home

if you don’t mind, you two will spend some quiet time together simply recharging

but if you’d rather be alone, he’s quick to understand and give you the space you need, reassuring you that he’s not hurt or offended and he just wants you to do what’s best for you

when you’ve had enough time to recharge and you finally come out of your room, jungkook will have snacks and a movie or kdrama ready if you’re up for it

you both have a shared love for romance kdramas

jungkook is a romantic and after watching many romance kdramas together, he always wants to recreate the scenes with you (life with jungkook is living a kdrama fr)

since you both enjoy physical activity and sports, he also takes you to the gym with him or to the pool whenever you two are staying at a hotel

he offers to teach you how to box since it's something he really loves and he feels reassured knowing that if he ever wasn't there to protect you, you can protect yourself whether you choose to use karate or boxing

he also thinks you look pretty badass while boxing, staring at you with the most adoring eyes as you throw punches at the pads he’s holding

he’s super supportive, giggling and giving you the most proud and adorable smile when you nail a combo he taught you

on the days that he’s feeling a little more competitive, he’ll challenge you to a game of badminton

when you play in pairs with all the members, all the other members let out groans and complaints, not wanting to verse the two of you

they claim that it’s unfair in every way possible: you are the 2 best at badminton, the 2 most competitive, and you have the best chemistry

he’s not the best cook nor is he the worst

he just doesn’t cook often but loves cooking with you to learn

eventually when he feels confident, he’ll surprise you by cooking and setting up a nice candle-lit dinner

and the little things he does like being mindful of your dislike for the texture of onions and peppers melts your heart

he's also mindful of how you don't like loud noises and will protect you and cover your ears

sorry for the long wait! but plz don’t be nervous! it was perfect! u didn’t undershare or overshare and ur english was spot on! and thank u! lots of love 💜

hello sweet maddy i have some q's for you <3 :)

if you got to ask taylor one question and knew you would be getting the truth, what would that Q be?

after Miss Americana (doc) ... it still seems like taylor STILL(!) craved validation esp from the Grammys. what do you think was the point of the doc - did she just want to be a bit more political?

what would have happened to her if she didn't win AOTY for folklore???? do you think she wants one for RED?

AND FINALLY - what do you think is her most 'cringe' career moment (i think the whole persona as Girl Squad Leader she adopted for 1989 era was...so forced that at times it was jarring (esp. whenever she was around C*alvin H*rris/her 'squad' at award shows)

helloooo thank you for your questions <3 going to answer these in order

the question i would ask taylor if i knew i would get the truth: r u gay? (on a more serious note i would ask her how she's approached the re-recording process, like i would pay a lotttt of money for a behind the scenes documentary)

what was the point of miss americana?: this is a GREAT question. genuinely i flipflop between "she was gonna come out!!!" to "she's actually that tone deaf" - like there were some interesting parts of the docu, such as seeing behind the scenes how white and male her team is, and the way she has to struggle to have her opinion heard when they disagree. i loved seeing her writing process in the studio, i just wish she hadn't focused on two of the worst songs she's ever written. the way she's always tried to please everyone and appeal to everyone and have everyone like her - and how she tried to subvert that - and then immediately showing everyone she's pathologically incapable of Not trying to please everyone. it showed how much she cares about politics (that affect her) and it helped the viewer understand why she never spoke up during 2016 but other than that the political bits were so tepid. honestly all in all, it felt like her trying to get everyone to be on her side again. sorry this was a LONG answer.

what would have happened if she didn't win aoty for folklore: i don't know if i want to even THINK about this because she would have taken it sooooo personally and probably make another documentary and be super annoying. we can all count ourselves lucky that she did win. then again, that also depends on whether you like the folklore production or not. 2/3 times she's changed her genre when she gets snubbed lol. i think she DEFINITELY wanted one for red, she was so so proud of that album but unfortunately she featured ed sheeran so it's her own fault.

her most cringe moment: every time she uses twitter. ok there's a few things but the thing that sprang to mind first was when she presented a VMA to kanye and used his line on him but was like "kanye has had the greatest career of all time!!!" like babe. shut up. be normal. i remember absolutely HATING the squad when it was happening in real time too, the whole #girlboss feminism of the 1989 era was super annoying to me in my first year of a politics degree sbdgdjjd. oh and another cringe moment is when she gave that speech at the brits and was just like "........joe 🤗" like girl what are you 12

#sorry this was LONG

hi! same anon from before, hahah. first of all thank u so much for answering - i'm a big steve mcqueen fan too and i was wondering if you were ever interested in reviewing your favourite mcqueen movies? a few words for each kinda thing. i love your movie reviews because way more often than not, i find myself agreeing with you and you seem to find the exact right words. of course, it's merely a request you don't *have* to take seriously.i hope u have a great day!

OK so here is my list, starting from favourite to least favourite. The only feature film of his that I haven’t seen is Hunger.

What I will say are general Steve McQueen characteristics that I like about all of the movies is the fact that his films require patience and attention. If I’m tired or not really in the mood to devote my focus but I want to watch something, I’m not putting on a Steve McQueen film. I want to be fully present. His work demands that. I appreciate that.

I have also come to respect that there are what you would consider holes in his movies. Like we don’t really know anything about Brandon’s backstory in Shame, we know his sister says that they come from a bad place but we don’t know what that place is and the movie doesn’t find it necessary to divulge that information. Widows has a lot of loose ends that a typical heist movie may at least attempt to sort out but I don’t think McQueen really concerns himself with those details, he concerns himself with the emotional present and he concerns himself with the present to such an intimate and almost unbearable degree that it can make you flinch and cringe as a viewer because it’s uncomfortable to kind of stew in emotional truth like that, it’s uncomfortable to stew in the present that way.

There is an artistry and a poetry to his movies, it reminds me of paintings and I can say without irony or without being corny or without being pretentious, that these movies really do examine the human condition, do deep dives into emotion or deep dives into emotions that a particular event or issue would bring about.

1. Lovers Rock

I love this movie for so many different reasons. It means so much to me as a woman of Jamaican descent to see an ode to Caribbean party culture in the diaspora

and even though it’s in London and even though it was in the 80s, there is so much overlap in Canada, it was basically like a spiritual experience watching this movie and on twitter, there was so much outpour of gratitude and feeling seen by Caribbean Canadians, it was like a whole moment, so this movie makes me super emotional.

Like this scene, where they yell “Jah!” “Rastafari!” it got me in my chest and I had never experienced feeling so seen in film before because it’s specifically Caribbean, in this case Jamaican, and what I usually see is African American or movies from the Continent and this was diasporic and it was Caribbean

But what I also love about it is that even though it takes place over one night, it’s a love story between two young dark-skinned Black people and it’s handled with the kind of grace and beauty and weight that I like in my love stories, like it’s not Atonement, it’s not POTC, but it’s this culturally specific courting and coming together and it’s super sweet and just very nice

2. Alex Wheatle

There is this scene in this movie that is excruciating to me in its simplicity and it’s one of McQueen’s techniques or choices. So this installation in Small Axe is about Alex Wheatle who is an author and in the beginning we see his life in an orphanage and how he’s abused and ridiculed and how as a child he would be thrown in a room for hours just lying on his side

Then we get to him as an adult and we see the way the police harass Black youth and they take Alex throw him in the back of their van and he’s bloodied and beaten and he’s just lying on his side for hours. And I cried because that callback to his childhood was so brutal to me even though we don’t see excessive violence onscreen, it was just him lying on his side like when he was a kid and how systems upon systems are failing him and failing Black children, Black people and I didn’t need that spelled out for me, I just needed to see him lying on his side for minutes. And that’s kind of the power of McQueen’s directing/storytelling to me?

Another reason I really like Alex Wheatle - and the Small Axe anthology as a whole - is showcasing Black history in other countries

and it’s a great story about identity and figuring out your history, your roots, where you come from and how it informs you

3. 12 Years A Slave

I didn’t know if I was going to watch 12 Years A Slave or not, I kind of make it a point not to watch movies about enslavement now and I haven’t seen a movie about enslavement since (I did watch the show Underground though). What I love about this movie is how it examines the human condition, how it examines resilience, how it examines the soul, really, through many of the characters but particularly Solomon. It’s that unflinching portrayal of emotion and the present that really stuck out to me. And also again some of McQueen’s choices, like when they’re on the slave ship, for a lot of it we don’t see inside, we see the rudders

but that inspired such dread in me? We see the trees a lot.

We see the setting. We see the environment and that just adds a whole other layer, Lupita Nyong’o spoke about that when filming, about just thinking about the trees and what they witnessed. But I watched it, I didn’t cry until the third act then I wouldn’t stop crying then I pulled myself together and a week later, my roommate was playing it in her room and I could hear it and I was trying to write for workshop and it was just the score that I could hear and I got so emotional I had to ask her to put her earphones in so I could work.

4. Education

This installment of Small Axe was again an educational one for me (pun intended) because I know the ways in which the education system in my country and in my province and in my city fail Black children and I know enough about how that happens in the States, I didn’t know so much about how it happened in England and this was very illuminating for me without it taking on the tone of a docu. There is this scene that is just so uncomfortable to watch because it’s long and it’s boring and it’s irritating and that’s exactly what you’re supposed to feel because you’re supposed to feel exactly what the characters would feel in those moments:

Education also has a scene where we hear an entire song, but it’s deliberately not fun, when the teacher torments all the kids with his acoustic version of “House of the Rising Sun.” Why that song? That happened with me!

Oh my god. The teacher brought in his guitar, and he started to strum. We’re this captive audience. That was it. But it’s interesting, about that sequence. Because it’s funny, and then it gets irritating, and then you get bored. You have to go through boredom to get to the other side of it, and then you get to something else. And then there’s another understanding of it. So it had to play out that way, in real time.

and you know by the end, the movie explores how to engage children, how to encourage children, how to advocate for children and the different ways you can educate children so it’s an optimistic movie and I appreciated that

5. Widows

My second best experience at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) was watching Widows. TIFF screenings tend to be very quiet. But there’s a scene in Widows where after the protagonists (four women) do the work and get the money, Daniel Kaluuya watches them, holds them at gunpoint and takes the money, then leaves in his car. Then you’re with him in this car and he’s feeling good about himself and he’s laughing and he’s listening to this speech his brother makes then you see another car gain on him, run into him and it’s the protagonists and they take their money back and the entire theatre cheered and clapped and it was awesome. And that is the type of “girl power” scenes I like that aren’t “girl power” scenes? Where it’s just this man thought he could take what he wanted from these women and leave and they were like ummmmmmm?

I would say Widows is McQueen’s most commercial movie and it still doesn’t read very commercial and unfortunately Liam Neeson is in it but again I like the choices he made, I like that when Colin Farrell’s character is going on this racist rant in his car, we see the exterior of the car with his dialogue as a voiceover.

I like how controlled and tight the direction is and how throughout the movie I was on the edge of my seat in a different way, I was just tense until it was all over. It was also interesting watching his direction with Gillian Flynn’s screenplay interact with each other.

I had issues with this movie, mainly one moment which is when Alice, who is white, slaps Veronica (Viola Davis) -- Veronica slaps Alice first but Alice is a character who has been abused and who has been controlled by the men in her life, by her mother and she’s finding independence and so she exerts that by slapping Veronica back and I just thought there were other ways to show that.

6. Red, White and Blue

Another installment of Small Axe. My first husband stars in it and won a GG for it

and has this gem in it

It’s a good representation of what it looks like trying to right a system from the inside, since this is about Leroy Logan who became a police officer and ended up policing the neighbourhood he grew up in and how he was trying to be a positive change in the environment and in the police force and the racism he experienced as an officer

7. Mangrove

The first installment of Small Axe. To be quite honest I wanted to like Mangrove more than I did. It’s Steve McQueen so it’s a good movie, although the accents had some Trini people I know be like mmmmmmmmmmmmno, and again it’s also an educational movie because you learn about the Mangrove restaurant which was a Caribbean restaurant and hub for the community and for artists and authors and the police saw it as a threat so they constantly harassed the costumers and did raids and did everything in their power to shut it down.

And there are some great lines in this movie, I was most compelled when it became a courtroom drama, because that was some masterful directing

8. Shame

Shame was definitely uncomfortable for me to watch haha and it’s interesting because there were reviews that were like the title doesn’t match what we see because are we really expected to believe that the protagonist feels shame when we see him in New York having anonymous sex with [conventionally] attractive strangers and he has awkward moments with his sister and I was just like ............ if there’s anything McQueen is able to do is show how mechanical and compulsive Brandon’s sexual conquests are and his inability to actually connect because once he does he becomes impotent and pushes Marrianne away, his life is sterile and unfulfilling

so, I don’t know, some of the reviews had me like, what movie were you watching?

The Dating Game | Chapter Four

“So, what’s up with this chick you won’t shut up about? What’s her name?”

Niall’s fingers stopped plucking at the strings of his guitar and he looked over at his best friend, and roommate, Chris, who was slumped back into their massive couch with a beer in his hand. They had known each other nearly their whole lives, Chris moving in with Niall after he had bought his house in LA to watch over the place when Niall had to travel with his career. Chris was hilarious and had a bit of a wild streak, sometimes coming on a little too strong, but underneath it all, he was a teddy bear and had always been a huge support system for Niall.

“Joey.”

Chris nodded his head, titling the beer bottle that rested on his thigh towards Niall. “Yeah...Joey, what’s up with her? Are ya’ll, like, dating?”

Shifting his bottom on the piano bench just a bit, Niall momentarily flicked his blue eyes up to the soccer game that was playing on the TV. “Umm, no...I don’t think so?”

“You don’t know?”

Niall shrugged and slid his fingers across the fretboard. “I mean, we hang out and chat and stuff, she’s supposed to come over here Saturday night to hang out, watch a movie. Have dinner or whatever.”

“So...you’re dating.”

“No, we’re friends,” Niall shot back, looking over at Chris.

“But you like her.”

Niall nodded, furrowing his brow slightly. “Yeah...yeah, I like her. I mean, we’re friends.”

“Yes, but you wanna bone her.”

“Dude…”

“What?” Chris snorted, as if he was the one offended, and held out his hand towards Niall. “Look, man, you’re taking this bird out–‘hanging out’ with her–or whatever, you fuckin’ got her tickets to her favorite band and went to the concert with her...and have been talking to her non-stop since, yet...you’re gettin’ nothin’ out of it. That’s kinda fucked up.”

Niall dropped his hands from his guitar, his mouth falling to a part as he stared in disbelief at his best friend. “Are you...fuckin’ serious, mate?” Niall said, shaking his head slightly as he ran his fingers up through his hair, “I’m not hangin’ out with her just so I can fuck her. I actually, genuinely, like bein’ around her, she’s a cool fuckin’ person.”

Shaking his head, Niall moved his stare back down to the guitar in his lap. “Jesus Christ...”

Chris shrugged nonchalantly and tipped his head back as he took a swig of his beer. “I’m just keepin’ it real, man…”

“Well, you better keep that shit to yourself on Saturday when she comes over,” Niall warned, glancing back over at his friend, “I don’t want her gettin’ the wrong impression.”

“What the fuck would that be?” Chris chuckled, “That you wanna fuck her?”

With an exaggerated eye roll, Niall ignored Chris’s comment and went back to strumming a riff on his guitar. Chris let out a scoff. “I’ll behave, don’t worry,” he finished under his breath, his eyes settling back onto the TV screen.

•

It had been a little over two weeks since the night of the concert. Niall kept his word and texted her the very next day, and nearly every day following. They’d sometimes text each other in the morning or chat while Joey sat in the teacher’s lounge eating her lunch, or while Niall was on his way into the studio. Sometimes they’d text in the evenings, while they were both in the kitchen simultaneously scrounging up some dinner or randomly while watching the same shows on Netflix, timing as close as they could so that it was almost like they were watching it together. Niall would Facetime her while he was working out, or while Joey was busy grading papers.

It was fun, easy and comfortable. There wasn’t a second that they didn’t have something to talk about: whether it be as simple as whatever ridiculous trouble Niall’s friends were getting into, or as complex as Joey’s family, how her parents had moved to Florida a year prior to take care of her sick grandmother. Joey never felt comfortable enough with anyone to get into the details of her family, but with Niall...it was so different. He understood, no matter what she told him, he understood and made her feel normal. They could just laugh and be silly with each other and Joey was becoming so grateful for their growing friendship.

They had hung out a few times too. Heading to a small corner coffee shop one late morning, and hitting up Pink Taco for a quick bite a few nights later. They went for a casual midday hike along Runyan Canyon that following weekend, and even went out to a comedy club that next night. But they tried their best to stay away from prying eyes as much as possible. Niall had warned Joey that, even though they were only friends, word could get out if they were seen alone together and it would most likely be assumed by the media that they were more than that. It had happened to him many times before and while it hadn’t happened to them yet, Joey tried to mentally prepare herself for if it ever did.

When it came down to it, she just really loved being around Niall. He was a blast; incredibly witty and charismatic, always up for anything and made even the simplest things enjoyable. There wasn’t a minute that would go by that he didn’t have Joey in stitches, and she found that she could talk to him about anything. He was more knowledgeable–whether it be music or politics, weird facts about space or everything else in between—than she had given him credit for. There wouldn’t be a lagging moment when they were together; Niall loved to see her smile and laugh, and Joey loved to see him flustered, especially when any topics of romance or love came up in their conversations. It didn’t tend to very often, but Niall got noticeably flushed and had the cheekiest of smirks on his face whenever it did. Joey found it all quite amusing.

A few days before Joey was to go over to Niall’s place for the first time that Saturday to hang out, she decided to call in sick at work. It was something that was practically unheard of for her, she was always very diligent in her work and being there for the children, but something in her just needed to take a day for herself. She was far from actually being sick, Alexis being the only other soul that knew she was telling a tiny fib to get out of work, but the school always took any illness seriously. So it was an easy out for her.

It was nearing 2pm, and she had been snuggled up on her couch–still in her pajamas, a big fuzzy blanket wrapped around her lower half and a marathon of a crime docu-series playing on TV–all morning with her little sidekick, Sadie, cuddled at her feet. She hadn’t spoken to Niall at all that day, actually she hadn’t spoken to him since the previous afternoon when he had called to ask if she wanted to come over to his house that Saturday to watch some new documentary that was coming on Netflix and maybe have some dinner. Alexis laughed when Joey told her.

“What?” the red haired girl innocently questioned, stuffing a bite of her leftover enchiladas into her mouth.

A playful smirk tugged over Alexis’ lips. “Please tell me you’ve heard of ‘Netflix and chill’?”

Joey rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Not this again…”

“I’m just saying, Jo,” she snipped back, “he’s inviting you over to his actual house and I can guarantee it’s not just to watch a movie…”

“We’re just friends!”

That was how most of their conversations went in the following weeks since the concert. And it was starting to exhaust Joey.

Tugging on a piece of hair that had fallen from the side of her loose bun, Joey’s stare had begun to glaze over as she mindlessly stared at the TV screen. She was meant to be watching the fifth installment to Making a Murderer, but her mind was hovering on something else. Or someone else. It was weird how she felt almost...sad that she hadn’t heard from Niall at all yet that day, and she thought that maybe he was just busy and didn’t have time to chat. Which...he was a very busy man with writing and recording for his upcoming album, but she still felt like...well, like she missed him.

The thought crashed through her and Joey scoffed lightly at herself and shook her head, nestling deeper into the couch and focusing her attention back to the TV. It wasn’t another ten minutes of Niall’s face and voice and laugh flashing in her brain that she pushed out a defeated sigh, cursing at herself from under her breath, as she leaned over to grab her cellphone from the coffee table in front of her.

Not really thinking about what she was going to say, Joey texted him a quick ‘hey’ and clicked off her phone, turning it upside down as she tossed it back to the table. Her teeth sunk down into her bottom lip as she looked back over at the TV, trying with everything in her to not count down in her head how long he was going to take to respond. Her heartbeat was starting to pick up slightly in her chest–thump, thump thump–and she tore at the dry skin around her fingernails as she waited.

The tone of a text coming through startled her, it shouldn’t have but it perked up Sadie’s head as well and the little dog looked over at Joey as she reached for her phone.

N: Heya love , what’s up?

A smile eased across Joey’s face.

J: Nothing. Just bored at home, wanted to see what you were up to.

N: You’re home ? Are u okay ?

J: Yeah, I’m fine! Just needed a day off. Are you busy?

N: Not really, no. Just workin on some tunes .

N: Why ?

J: Hmmmm

N: Hahahaha what’s up . .

Joey swallowed hard as she hovered her fingers over the screen of her phone and it struck her as odd that she was even hesitating to ask Niall what she wanted to ask him. She pulled in her face at her own ridiculousness–it was only Niall for crying out loud–and licked across her lips as she began to type.

J: Do you maybe want to hang out? I was thinking of heading over to Cosmic Vinyl. I need a few more records to add to my collection and I couldn’t think of a better person to help me than you.

J: If you’re free.

N: Fuck yeh ! Like right now ?

J: Um, maybe like in an hour? We can meet up there.

N: Sounds sick . See ya there in a bit, Jo .

Jo. He had called her Jo. There were only two people on earth that called her Jo–her brother, Carter and Alexis, her best friend. Nevertheless, it put a permanent smile on her face as she jumped up from the confines of her sofa to go get ready to meet Niall.

•

Her hazelnut eyes studied the album covers as she flicked through them, every so often peeking over at the door to the record shop. Joey had arrived at their meeting place a little early, only fifteen minutes, and was waiting for Niall to show up. She had lazily given the shop a little stroll before settling towards the back where some of the older, more vintage records were kept.

With only two minutes to spare, her wandering gaze spotted the one and only Niall Horan just as he stepped into the store. He was wearing a long sleeved button up that hung open and a pair of light wash jeans and Joey swore she could see the blue of his eyes shining from all the way at the back of the store. He licked over his lips as he stood there, bouncing his stare between the other five or so patrons that were browsing before he finally caught that sweet bright smile of Joey. His chest tightened a bit at the sight of her; a loose knit cream top that was modestly tucked into a pair of dark jeans and her red hair softly flowing down the middle of her back, and Niall bowed his head to run his fingers through his dark hair as he began walking towards her.

They spent the next twenty minutes in light frivolous conversation, Niall enticing some giggles from Joey as they slowly perused through the thousands of shelved and binned records. He had already helped her find two records that she didn’t own that he thought she would like–an Eagles album and also one by Damien Rice, an Irish artist that she had never heard of. Niall spoke very highly of his music and Joey decided to give it a try. Strolling along a bit more, they came to a stop in front of the “J” section, Joey not really knowing why but obviously drawn to the letter. Niall smirked upon realizing the connection.

“I think the closest you’re gonna find is Joe Cocker,” he said, flipping through some stacks, “Or maybe Billy Joel is more your style. I personally like me some Billy Joel.”

Joey chuckled and peered down at the bucket style shelves as she began flicking through the different albums, hoping a cover would catch her eye. “I’m not really looking for anyone in particular, just seeing what they’ve got.”

“Ahh...I see.”

They both continued to thumb through the albums, a content quiet settling between them for a moment before Joey remembered something that she had wanted to tell him. “Oh!” she blurted out, shaking her head as she looked over at Niall. “I wanted to tell you...um...I have another date.”

His fingertips paused on the edge of an album sleeve and he slowly shifted his eyes over to Joey. “You do?”

The young woman nodded, scraping her teeth at the corner of her bottom lip. She glanced down at the rows of records in front of her. “Yeah...it’s on Saturday, before I’m supposed to come over to your house..,” she went on, catching Niall’s stare again. “Obviously.”

“Do you wanna reschedule comin’ over?” Niall asked her, hoping her answer was the one he wanted to hear.

“Never.”

It was.

Joey shrugged, going back to perusing through the records. “Besides, it’s not like I’m going to sleep with this guy or something,” she started to explain with a giggle, “I’ve given up on having sex with men on first dates.”

A worrisome tightness that had built up in Niall’s chest eased at her words and he pushed out a heavy breath, the sound coming out as more of a scoff than he intended. “What?” Joey snipped, wrinkling her brow at him slightly.

“N-nothin’,” he reassured her with a shake of his head, “just...good for you.”

Joey narrowed her brown eyes at his weird comment. ‘Good for you’–what did he even mean by that? She wondered, but she brushed it off and gave him a smile. “Do you have sex on first dates?” she then casually asked him, not certain if he would actually answer her or not as she slowly caught his gaze. Was that too invasive of a question?

He had a lopsided smirk on his face as he stared at her, his cheeks barely pulsing that pinkish hue she liked and he faintly licked across his lips. “I have,” he said truthfully, lifting his one shoulder, “in the past.”

“But you…don’t anymore?”

He quirked a brow. “I don’t go on dates.”

Joey lifted her chin as she kept her eyes on his. “Mmm...right, I forgot about that…”

They both chuckled as Niall flipped over the next album in the bin he was looking through and yanked it out to show Joey. It was Judas Priest. Peeking down at the cover of the album, she covered her mouth with her hand as little giggle slipped out. “Why’re you laughin’?” Niall asked, fighting off his smile.

“What makes you think I would ever listen to heavy metal?”

Niall shrugged, his mouth turning down at the corners as he slipped it back into the row of records, both of them laughing. Joey sidestepped a little bit away from Niall as she continued to browse, and he followed her with his eyes. He could not get over how absolutely stunning she was. Just the way the dim, gritty yellow light of the vintage album store was slipping down her delicate profile, it made a warmth claw at his insides. He knew by the steadily annoying increase of his pulse and the sweat that was building up on his palms, and just how she made him feel when he was around her, he knew that he was really starting to like this girl. Way more than just as a friend. Niall gently cleared his throat. “So…what happened?” he spoke up, “that made ya...ya know, stop havin’ sex on the first date?”

Joey gnawed at her lip as she kept her stare down, flipping through more albums. “Well...do you remember, like, a month ago...the night of the festival?”

“Yeah.”

“The guy that I had gone there with, I sorta...slept with him that night.”

Niall swallowed hard, his mind flashing to that night and vividly remembering how she looked, how she smelled...how she had made his heart race in his chest. And how he was most definitely not the one she went home with. “Did ya?”

Not saying a word, Joey softly giggled and pulled out a Carly Rae Jepson record, holding it up as she peered over at Niall. A low chuckle bubbled from his throat and he shuffled himself over next to her again and took the record from her hand, the tips of his fingers softly dragging over hers. It made a small breath catch in Joey’s chest. “This is actually a sound record,” he said with as much conviction as he could muster. He held back his smile as his eyes danced over hers and stuffed the album back into its slot, “so no laughin’.”

He was only teasing her and the jokingly serious look on his face made her laugh even harder. “Anyway,” Joey went on, her voice staying low, “he was a complete dick to me the next morning and, I dunno, it just...wasn’t me. And definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. I was drunk and trying to let loose and have a ‘fun experience’, but it really wasn’t the experience that I wanted to have.”

Niall rolled his lips into his mouth as he peered over at her. “Yeah, well...when ya have sex with someone you don’t know, it usually isn’t.”

A sigh slipped past Joey’s lips and she hung her head back onto her shoulders in exasperation. “Jesus, Niall,” she said, her voice coming out a bit whiny with the mention of his name. She squeezed her eyes closed for a split second before lifting her head and glancing over at him. “I’m a twenty five year old woman, I should know these things by now.”

Niall’s chest rumbled with a heavy laugh as he looked back down and continued to flip through the bin of albums. “The only way to know is to experience ‘em and at least you can say you’ve got that now.”

Joey rolled her eyes in a huff. “Yeah...just never again.”

“Here,” Niall proclaimed, yanking out an Elton John record, “I think you’ll like this one.”

Joey leaned her body closer to Niall, that sweet scent of her soft skin violating his nose as she slowly slipped the album from his fingers. “You know what?” she said, turning her head to look up at him. “I think you’re right.”

Niall smiled at her. “Shall we get it then?” he asked her as she rested the album on top of the other two that were nestled in the crook of her arm, “You good?”

“Yup, I’m good,” Joey smiled.

“Sweet,” he mentioned as they both turned to walk up to the counter at the front of the store, “maybe we can go get some smoothies after this? I know this great place just a block or so from here. Do ya like smoothies?”

Joey tipped her head down in a giggle as they stepped up to the counter. She laid the albums down and slid them towards the cashier so he could ring her up as Niall shimmied his body next to hers and rested a hand on his hip. With a smile she glanced up at him, his eager blue eyes dancing across her face as he waited to see what she would say.

Watching as the tip of her tongue softly ran along her bottom lip, Niall felt a rush of excitement seep through his veins as a big bright smile spread over Joey’s face. “Yeah, I definitely like smoothies.”

im under instructions to spam u with doncic related asks,,, so as someone who genuinely only knows abt doncic due to like one (1) doncic/heiskanen fic,,, can i have a primer on doncic or a link to one? he is v tall and i am 4'10" so there is an Appeal 👀

did u come here from emma jdkfjs

i wrote a lot more than i meant to, so i’m putting it under the cut. if you’re seeing this on mobile i’m sorry idk if read mores work on mobile anymore tumblr is wack

tl;dr

luka is v tall. if you came from emma you’ve probably seen the pic of luka and miro with each other’s jerseys, but there’s a video. and also this article. luka’s like 6’7”. miro’s in his skates. ( also imagine if dallas had both the nba roy and calder trophy winner, but miro wasn’t even a finalist and b*nnington was, haha yes i’m still bitter )

ok so

first things first i’m not a hundo percent knowledgable on basketball. what i know about it is v elementary. but either way here is this draft profile on reddit my cousin sent me way back when. and there are actually SO MANY video essays/analysis on his basketball on youtube. here’s one. here’s another one. here’s one from last season. there’s also this docu on the euroleague channel

basically:

at 13 signed with real madrid and moved to spain. pro debut at 16 ( like me n him are the same age. y’know what i was doing at 16? almost failing my driving test n crying abt it ) won euroleague finals with real madrid in 2018 and named euroleague mvp.

at eurobasket 2017, he played for slovenia and won gold

at the 2018 nba draft he was selected third overall by the atlanta hawks and was traded to the dallas mavericks in exchange for trae young and a 2019 first round pick.

he won nba rookie of the year for the 2018-19 season.

he recently passed jason kidd’s record for the most triple-doubles in mavs franchise with 22 and has already accomplished so much

luka is just!! it’s so much fun watching him play. even my old roommate—who knows nothing about sports, had probably never watched a sport in her life—would be excited to watch games. he has fun out there. he’s v passionate. sometimes one might even say a little “““intense”””. like you can tell when he’s frustrated, he’s ripped his jersey twice out of frustration. ( the last time he did it they were wearing the city jerseys so like…. i don’t blame him jfkdjf )

he speaks four languages. FOUR. slovenian, serbian, spanish, and english. here’s luka doing a postgame in slovenian. here’s luka ( and kristaps! ) doing media for the mexico city games. here’s luka speaking to the crowd before the mexico city game.

some other videos you should check out just because:

name that tune: dirk & luka

this 3 pointer to force ot

luka mic’d up at 2019 rising stars

luka mic’d up against the pelicans

sounds from the baseline: 2020 all-star weekend

luka’s half court shot in the 2020 rising stars challenge

straight to the cup: luka, maxi & boban

nikola jokic jokes with luka doncic at all-star weekend

highlights vs. denver nuggets ( jalen’s reaction at 0:46? same )

luka falling on a kid and then check if he’s okay

2019-20 highlights

ALSO DOGS. if you like dogs, luka and his gf have two and they are the cutest!! here is their instagram. the pomeranian is named hugo and gia is the white swiss shepherd and they are adorable.

so yeah, stan luka. stan the mavs.

ok edit: bc joce wants me to talk abt his tattoos ( joce i swear me and emma did talk abt it ) here’s luka getting his eurobasket tattoo. he has “non desistas/non exieris” a number “7” and a tiger on the inside of his forearm. on the other side he has an eagle and the eye of providence. he has a tat on his back/shoulder but i can’t tell what it is

#longpost #yeah there definitely is an appeal 👀#i tried calling my cousin for the basketball knawledge but he didn't answer so f him #n e ways i adore luka i hope he stays forever #anonymous #replies
