Scenarios: Fem!reader, flirting with Windbreaker characters and their reactions

Fluff

a/n: Hi! This is my first Winbreaker x reader post on here, I hope you like it and I'm sorry in advance for any grammatical mistakes I may have made while writing this.

Noah

You had always had a thing for Noah since becoming part of the ‘Light Cavalry’. In the beginning, you thought it was just admiration for how good she was but over time, you had found your heart growing fonder of her everyday more and more.

As you started realizing that those feelings were not just admiration, you decided to try your chances. You knew she liked Owen, but maybe? Why not? What was there to lose?

She was sitting down on the couch of your shared apartment, scrolling through different channels while you had just come out of your room to get a glass of water.

As you had finally come to terms with your feelings you decided to use this moment as a chance. After getting the glass of water, you sat next to her on the couch extremely close, making the woman turn her attention from what she was doing to you.

“What?” she asked, eyes looking extremely bored at yours.

Deciding against giving her an answer, you moved your hand to tuck the hair behind her ear. Glancing at her lips and then her eyes, face inching closer and closer, one of your arms moved behind her holding your body against the couch as you got even closer.

“You know Noah….” you whispered eyes never leaving hers. As hers started growing bigger, she tried to move away from the close proximity. “I’ve always wanted to tell you this….” Your body followed hers trapping Noah between the couch and you.

“You’re so so damn hot, I'd kill to have you be mine!” you finished whispering those words to her slowly, before getting up and walking away. Going inside your room and closing the door.

Leaving Noah, wide-eyed staring at your back as you closed the door. Were you joking? Was what you said true? Why did you leave like that? There were many questions, on her mind, as she stared into space trying to recollect every moment she had spent with you and every word said. Searching for signs…and that’s all you needed, her to start thinking about you.

“Guess this is going to be much more fun than I expected!” You said smirking as you were lying down on your bed.

Harry

During his stay in Korea, Harry had become obsessed with korean fried chicken. He would order it all the time and not eat anything else. Yes chicken is good and meat is healthy but too much of anything is still not good.

So you decided to interfere, and although you knew how demanding and hot-headed he was, you couldn’t just let it be. But how were you going to do that? That's what you were not sure about. All you knew was that you had to do it one way or the other. As you heard the doorbell ring you knew what was coming so you ran to get the food before he could even get up.

After getting the chicken you saw Harry sitting on the dinner table ready. “What are you doing?” you ask him, acting as if you didn’t know. “Bring the food!” Harry, who wasn’t having it ordered impatiently. “Which food?” you asked, taking the plastic bag and sitting on the couch.

“I’m not in the mood for games, just bring the food already.” Harry got up striding with clear footsteps towards you. You opened the packaging and took one of the chicken legs. Immediately taking a bite. Harry was standing in front of your sitting figure with both arms crossed. “Ok I’ll give it to you.” you agreed standing up on the sofa. Although there was still some height difference between you and Harry even if the sofa was added you could reach him slightly at least.

You took another bite, opened your mouth, and approached his face. “What do you think you’re doing now?”. You closed your mouth chewing and ingesting it. Harry's annoyed expression hadn’t changed from before as he looked at you. You smiled deviously: “If you want to eat it come and take it from my mouth.” You knew playing this way with Harry was going to end up annoying him more and he would leave but what you didn’t expect was that when you took the other bite Harry forcefully wrapped his arm around your waist yanking you closer and actually kissing you.

His tongue entered inside your mouth as he steadily worked on taking the chicken bite from you when he finally pulled away your shocked expression made him smirk. “Don’t play like that with my food.” He warned you, taking the plastic bag full of chicken and leaving you replaying what had just happened again and again, unsure how to feel.

Vinny

It had all started when everybody suggested staying at Vinny’s house with Shelly running to take a shower inside and meeting his mom. Now you were all eating sitting around the small table in Vinny's home. As you all talked and laughed the time went by and it was time to sleep.

When dividing the rooms Vinny’s mom gave you and Shelly hers as she claimed that she was going to work a night shift so she would not return home until the next morning. You and Shelly were lying down when you heard the door close shut and as if you had touched the on button Shelly immediately rose up from where she was lying. “What do you think the guys are doing?”

“They might be getting ready to sleep,” you answered nonchalantly scrolling on your phone. “C’mon let’s go and see, It’s a sleepover, it will be boring if we don’t do something fun.” Shelly started begging you, nearly dislocating your shoulder from your arm as she pulled at it.

“Ughh, okay.” You followed her as you both went in front of their door. “Maybe we should knock fi….” But why even bother saying it in the first place Shelly didn’t let you finish, as she flew the door open revealing some of the guys half shirtless, staring wide eyes at you two. “Let’s play!” She went and sat right next to Jay not even glancing at anyone else.

You all sat down to play truth or dare. As you sat next between Vinny and Dom the game started. Some rounds of truth and funny dares passed until your turn came. “Hmm, so what dare shall I give you?” Shelly pondered not even giving you the chance to decide, yet you didn’t mind you could also notice that the game was getting boring because most were avoiding the dares. “....” your eyes meeting hers waiting.

“Make one of the guys next to you blush.” “What?” your unfazed expression changed into one of disbelief “Make one of these two blush?” you pointed at Dom and Vinny. Shelly nodded. “I wouldn’t….” Dom was about to say but was quickly cut off by you. “You better not finish that sentence or I'll tell Yuna what you just said.” You gave him a stern look. You were very supportive of them both being in a relationship and Yuna was your friend so no way in hell you were doing things like that to Dom.

On the other hand, Vinny who was sitting on the other side was single so you didn’t mind. “Now Vinny come closer.” You ordered the boy an ounce of emotion in your tone of voice. He raised an eyebrow. As no one else talked. “Ughh..fine I’ll do it properly but don’t blame me if you fall for me after this,” you told him getting closer, your eyes changing as they stared at him seductively. As you got slightly closer one of your hands touched his which was on the floor. You lowered your eyes signaling for him to look as your fingers slowly started sliding up his arm reaching his shoulders, they didn’t stop there as they moved on his collarbone and then neck.

Your eyes moved up meeting his gaze. The room was silent as you seductively smiled, grabbing his shoulder while pulling him closer. Your faces were inches apart and Vinny already seemed like he was caving in, but your goal was to make him blush. You moved your head, lips reaching his ear, you stopped, lips barely reaching his ear as your warm breath caressed his skin. “You’re very cute, do you know that?” you told him your voice barely above a whisper.

As you pulled away you saw as his ears had become red together with his face. He was not blushing; he had turned into a whole tomato.

“This is annoying.” He got up leaving the room as fast as he could, making everybody in the room burst out laughing at his expression.

ok i forgot that goldie isnt canonically 5'1 on a good day so i have to restructure this ask

1) thoughts on short goldie

2) is heron short also

3) (contingent on answers 1 and 2) thoughts on scrooge and beakley both falling for tiny evil women

1) & 2)

I think the toxic yuri polycule height chart is something like this—!

They all wear heels so it’s not exact (also I whipped this up in like 5 minutes lol)

Huifen is tall, she’s a black heron after all, and though they’re not the tallest birds ever they’re still pretty long! But she looks short standing next to Beakley, because everyone does (also I undersized her a little bit in my first human drawing by accident, whoops). Goldie is a short queen LMAO, she’s not minuscule, only slightly shorter than the average person, but she looks tiny next to these two (she might be slightly shorter than I drew her here, idk, I struggled to scale her LOL). Scrooge, for the record, is around the same height as Goldie!

In terms of their builds btw, Beakley is, obviously, very muscular! Though she might seem like a tank, she’s actually very soft — big ol squishy teddy bear! Heron on the other hand is a gangly mf, long, skinny, and sharp. Goldie is sort of in between them, an hourglass build like Huifen, but with more muscle on her (not half as much as Beakley, though).

Heron might not be tiny but Beakley treats her like she is, picks her up like a feral cat when she’s being too much 😌 Scrooge and Goldie only have a very slight height difference, but I think he’s very smug about it lol

Also, my funniest headcanon ever is that Beakley has a thing for bad girls, and she HATES IT. She’s so embarrassed about it and fully intends to take it to her grave. This also leads to her hating the aforementioned bad girls even more, bc she’s so frustrated with herself for liking the in the first place. So Beakley can spend 24 hours a day ranting about how much she hates someone, and be blushing the entire time. All this to say, Beakley might not technically have a leg to stand on when it comes to criticising Scrooge’s relationship, but that doesn’t stop her.

I think they’re both massive hypocrites about it, bc they wanna protect eachother despite the other really not needing the help. They’re also endlessly frustrated with eachother’s toxic Yuri partners. Beakley to a much bigger degree because she definitely has a thing for Goldie, which only makes her hate her even more. Scrooge is more annoyed by Beakley and Heron than anything else bc he just does not understand what the hell is going on there, but he’ll also occasionally be all,

In conclusion, Beakley and Scrooge being a disaster sibling duo is my favourite thing ever. Scrooge is practically immortal, nothing can take him down. Beakley is a walking tank, she could walk off a bullet. They looked at eachother and went “that idiot needs me to protect them from their own love life” and they were kind of right??

I’m a short, plus size trans guy. I have a pretty hard time with masc clothing due to it not fitting right or at least not how I wish it did. Fem clothes usually fit how I want them to so I stick with them, plus skirts are fun and surprisingly help with the bottom dysphoria cause there’s no indent of where my dick should be like pants do, so I have 2 questions.

1: is it ok for me as a trans guy to still be upset when misgendered while wearing feminine clothing?

2: any advice on how to find masc clothes that fit properly on a fat and short guy?

hello there, thanks for taking the time to ask this! sorry for the delayed reply, but i hope you've been doing well in the mean time!

it is absolutely okay for you to be upset for being misgendered regardless of what clothing you're wearing; cisgender people get misgendered while wearing their preferred clothing, as well, many butch women get misgendered and called men when they are very much women who prefer to dress, act and look masculine. cisgender men often get misgendered if they choose to wear feminine clothing, or even men's clothing that's too "fruity". if cisgender people can get upset over this, you can too.

i feel like it's 200% impossible to know what a stranger's gender is just by looking at them and that as a society we would truly progress if we stopped assuming the genders of strangers by how they dress and avoid using gendered terms until that person reveals that information, if they so choose.

as for where to find clothing that would fit well, this one can be a bit tricky. i am tall and fat, i'm about 5' 8" and 280 lbs, so i unfortunately haven't much experience in the height department on that end, but i can tell you that wearing men's pants can be a bit tricky if you have wide hips. i have 48" hips and it can make wearing men's pants uncomfortable. if you haven't already, measure your hips (at their fullest point) and your inseam, which is the length from the crotch of your pants to the bottom of the pantleg. men's pants are sized by these two measurements, with the hip width being the first number and the inseam length being the second. my example for myself is that i wear 48x32 men's pants whenever i do buy them.

here's a guide on measuring your inseam:

here's a guide on men's clothing sizes (in both inches and centimeters) and how to measure yourself for different garments:

i will say that in the past i've thrifted most of my clothing. i'd like to be able to get to a place where i can buy myself some new clothes but up until this point most of my clothes have been thrifted. i will say if you live in a smaller area finding good clothing in plus sizes is a nightmare and you have my condolences. however i can suggest looking into men's fashion and seeing what styles you like to get an idea of what kinds of clothes you're looking for. before transitioning into buying clothes from the men's section you can always look to see if there are similar cuts of clothing (like cargo pants, for example) that are sold in the women's section for the sake of finding clothes that fit your proportions a little better at least until it's easier to figure out what size men's clothes fit you

most shirts and tops shouldn't be too much of an issue as they're made to be pretty loose fitting and don't conform to one's figure- if sleeves are too long they can be hemmed or rolled up, tails of shirts can be tucked into pants, etc. be very careful with button-up style shirts, these fit me so weird due to being intersex and i find that a lot of bigger people in general don't fit into them super well. they're not made for our proportions they just size up the shirts made for thin people and don't take into consideration how our bellies, chests and shoulders look.

button up shirts (when buttoned up, lol) can also make one's chest more prominent and create stress on the buttons that draw the eyes to the chest- i never button up these types of shirts and instead wear them open. this is a very masculine look, especially with a men's t-shirt underneath. this was my go-to in my early days of transition.

as for specific stores to look at, this will vary wildly depending on where you are in the world. i would recommend being highly cautious of buying mens' clothing from places online like Amazon, Temu, Wish, etc. that have a lot of China-based sellers, because often times you will see a 2XL+ garment and buy it thinking it will fit only to realize that that is Chinese sizing and therefore much smaller. shopping online for clothes while fat can be very hard, so i urge you to shop in person when possible

anyone have more concrete suggestions for this guy? i'm totally blanking on good suggestions of where to look for clothes.

good luck out there, stay safe, and take care of yourself. i hope you're able to find more clothing that helps you feel like yourself! thanks for stopping by

almost done with the heights line up, just gotta sketch in Biscuits, Qwahtahs and Cans BUT have some of these

ya can't really see it but like, they just fit together it's so funny also the decrease in heights

the bottom of Fin's eyes touches the top of HK's head and around-ish the top of HK's eyes touches the bottom of Fin's chin Trace also stepping on both HK's and Fin's foot

THIS FUCKER TINY (even Sawbuck's book is bigger than Clover's face-) Sawbuck looks nervous standing next to Snowman and Clover and I feel that

The idea is that Snowman's around 8ft because haha funny number and Clover's around 4ft or a bit under (as Scratch I believe is also supposed to be 4ft tall) So to make sure she's around 8ft, just stack Clover

ok well, that didn't work. so, Scratch is around 4ft something and Clover can be the 4ft tall shortie

ignore the 4ft

oh yeah added Stitch HK and redid Die as the previous drawing was just a joke for him (im saving Matchsticks and Eggs for the other stripes. teehee)

oh this is gonna be so much fun

Doze if he was 2ft ish

Oh and of course, some ideas for The Midnight Crew in terms of heights and stuff. Still kind of iffy with Clubs as I like the idea of him being half of Slick's height but also him being shorter than Clover makes me cackle (also its funny now that it looks like some troll relationship stuff between these assholes. And Sawbuck <3)

FIN'S TWO HKS WIDE (probably two Traces wide too)

Hey, I love your blog! I hope it's ok to ask homo sapian related questions, too.

How come humans stand out so differently from other primates? We seem a lot larger, more intelligent and also we are mostly hairless (Sort of.).

I've kind of answered this before, but I haven't really broken it down completely, so let's talk!

Why are humans so weird?

Size: Big and large. Being a large species can be advantageous, but it can also be very risky. Pretty much any large species started out much smaller (a few million years ago at least) and has gotten bigger over time. The larger you are the more food you need to sustain yourself, the slower you tend to reproduce, and the fewer offspring you tend to have. Australopithecus aferensis, our ancestor hominid from 2.9-3.9 million years ago was much smaller than modern humans! They ranged in height from 3 to almost 5 feet tall as adults, and reached maturity much faster than us. Over time, as resources became secure and we began to eat more protein and fat rich foods, we were able to develop longer periods of dependancy in childhood and old age and grow larger both in stature and in brain size.

Intelligence: Pretty smart! As I mentioned in the previous point, being able to eat high value foods in terms of caloric content, fat, and protein allowed early hominids to start developing larger brain-to-body ratios. Having a big brain is hard work! A whopping 20% of the body's energy is spent on the brain, and that's in a resting state! A species that is primarily focussed on surviving is going to use brain power for the bare essentials like perception and what we would think of as instinctual processes. However, despite the big expense of running a big brain, there is also a big pay off. The more complex our cognitive processes got, the more ways we were able to get an edge on other predators and secure resources we needed to maintain this brain mass. We started using tools, planning and strategizing, and secured our place as what we think of as the smartest ape.

Hair: Bald(ish). I say all the time that the catalyst of humanity is walking upright, but it may surprise you to learn that walking upright made us bald! It may also surprise you to learn that we actually have the same amount of hair as chimpanzees in pure numbers. While hair is very advantageous for keeping warm, keeping the sun, bugs, and dirt off you, it isn't for everyone. As we became upright walkers we became very good at walking long distances for long periods of time, but what about when you have to run? Bursts of exertion are hard on the human body, even if you are fit running takes a lot of work in several parts of the body. The solution? Become sweaty beasts. Our micro fine hairs that cover our entire body serve the purpose of hair by wicking sweat away from the skin, but are also so fine that we can better benefit from the slightest breezes to help us cool off. This also means we need to drink a lot of water, but no one said it was perfect. We keep our hair on our heads to protect us from sun exposure, have eyelashes and eyebrows to protect our eyes, and have body hair to protect the most sensitive parts of our bodies from internal and external dirt.

So thats the basics! We are definitely a weird species as far as earths creatures go: no one really does it like us, and it's been many million years in the making of our species. I'm also going to once again plug my human evolution info playlist on YouTube if you want to know more!

💚 For the matchups!

For strengths I think I'm empathic and patient. I want to try and treat everyone around me fairly and give everyone a chance. I've also been told I'm kinda funny

For weaknesses I am really anxious and Indecisive and I don’t like making decisions, I can be kinda stagnant and avoid trying new things. I also have a bad habit of holding grudges for way too long

Dealbreakers would be excessive lying or withholding information

I can understand needing to keep certain things to yourself but I don’t think I could be in a relationship where I was being constantly lied to, even if the intentions were good

Similar to that I really like people who wear their heart on their sleeve, people who are kind and nice as well. Not just to me but to others around them

Physically I like people who are larger than me, either taller or just bigger in general, and I prefer men.

For hobbies I like to go fishing, mainly more relaxed just sitting with just a bobber and some bait. but more active fishing can also be fun

I also like to bake sweets and draw in my sketchbook

I like soft and comfortable things, to wear, sleep with or just to hold onto while working. If it’s comfy I'll latch onto it.

I don’t want to describe too much of my appearance but I’m around 5,6 in height

Thank you and happy Valentine’s Day 💚

Oh I have just the sweetie for you! I match you with… OAK! Horrortale sans!

Oak can’t lie. Ok maybe he can, but he sucks at it. In fact he’s so bad he just doesn’t even try, you can read him like a book. So great for someone who needs an open companion!

Oak is a sweet gentle slow life kinda guy. He’s a great partner for someone who just wants to relax and be comfortable with. He has a sort of calming aura to him that seems to draw anxious people in. Oak feels safe. And his cuddles are AMAZING. You will get many hugs from this skelly. He makes a wonderful big spoon too ;)

Oak does have issues with his short term memory. It makes it hard for him to do certain tasks sometimes without having it written down. So he needs a patient SO who won’t hold it against him if he sometimes forgets things.

You will have to have pets if you date oak. The animals just seem to flock to him no matter what you two do. You have been warned

Ok I'm making an official post for Estrials. (or well official until I make a better one)

Everything below cut so I don't make anyone scroll past the novel length (/hj) post I'm about to make when they're just trying to browse their dash :]

Alright so Estrials! They're a species I made up (though they are definitely inspired by some other things like atla cause of the elemental abilities) and they can be anthro, feral, or even like catboy esque(?) (for the lack of a better term) (an example of what I mean would be my sona)

Heres some examples of existing Estrials (in order: my sona (he/it/pup) (small child edition), evil xisuma (little creature and non little creature forms), jimmy (again little creature and non little creature forms), amd bigb (only little creature form i still need to draw his more humanoid one) gotta love bigb and his little sweater) (also ex is part voidwalker too which is why he looks so different from the others, so like yeah you go combine Estrials and another species that would be epic)

If you're still here, now I'm going to tell you how to make your own! (please do I beg I want more little creatures in the world)

Ok so, they are an open species, though there are a few rules (both like actual rules and trait rules so you stay in line with the species)

-First rule: don't be a dick. I will revoke your Estrial rights if you're not a decent person (no like actually I can't take your character but I can make a list of no good icky people so other Estrial fans know not to interact with you)

-2nd rule: have fun! No really I'm not going to be an evil overlord about people making Estrials. Just enjoy yourselves and be kind to others

-3: more of me just saying this than a rule but you can totally have more than one Estrial! Make like 50 of you want I really don't care

Now rules for like traits and stuff

-1: your Estrial has to have some sort of wings (preferably feathered ones but you can do bug or bat wings if you want) (mechanical wings are also cool! Especially if they're meant to be like a prosthetic or something that would be sick) and some sort of horns (literally any horns idc go wild) you can have any number of these traits too

-2: only one elemental ability per Estrial please (or none at all, you can make an element-less Estrial if you want) there's only one Estrial that has more than one elemental ability and he's not even really an Estrial (it's my sona, it's complicated and lore related don't ask unless you want a novel length reply full of lore)

-3: they have to be either based off of some sort of canine or some sort of feline, though you can totally add features from other things (ex: lizards or fish or deer idk) as long as the base creature that has most of the features showing (so like the main body and head I guess?) is a canine/feline you're good (so like the tail, legs, and even ears can be some other creature if you want) (i actually have one that isnt shown here that has a fish tail and some fins kinda like vaporeon. So really, go wild)

-4: any patterns and colors are ok, so yeah make that sparkle dog looking thing !! Go wild, be free my friends. Make the shadow the hedgehog Estrial (no actually you totally could)

Ok no more rules! Info time 😈😈

-Estrials can be any size that's bigger than like a small dog (so like chihuahua ish or bigger) and smaller than a horse (yippee big creature)

-The anthro and catboy(?) Estrials can be any human height btw (anthros can be a little smaller than humans too as a treat)

-They can have any length of fur (so yeah you could make a hairless one, I'd actually be real interested to see that someone do it before I do) and be from any region (hence the different fur lengths. Some of them live in real cold places and have to be real fluffy to keep warmth in, and some live in warmer places and have a lot less fur to cool off easier)

-All Estrials can hide their wings (like magic poof they're gone completely and then poof they're back now) and the catboy(?) ones can sometimes hide all their Estrial features (so like their nose, horns, ears, wings, and tails)

-I'm leaving a whole lot up to interpretation so like go wild I guess. Just don't do anything too weird.. I don't want strange things associated with my species..

Ok now the big thing: elemental abilities

So we have 5 elements + no element (though I'm kinda thinking of adding a 6th.... maybe..). Every Estrial falls under one (and only one) of these categories, though their power levels can vary (so like some fire Estrials can only do tiny poofs of flames and others can have like whole fire tornados going on)

Fire, water, air, earth, and plant

They all overlap with others a little too

-Fire Estrials can bend/control/whatever you want to call it magma, lava, fire, and lightning. They can also heat things up, which does mean they can heat other elements enough to somewhat control those (so like heating metal until it's molten and being able to shape it, or heating water enough that it turns into steam. Though steam is a lot harder for fire Estrials to control) though they lose that ability once the element cools off again

-Water Estrials can bend things like water, ice, some gasses (if the gas has a liquid state at a reasonable temperature. So like not things that require to have subzero temps to be liquids like oxygen), and any other liquids (not including molten things if you count those as liquid).

-Air Estrials can control all gasses (unless they need to be superheated to be a gas) and air. They can also definitely move things with air, so like sandstorms and using lots of wind to lift and move big objects. They can even control the weather a bit because of this (though water Estrials also kinda can. They can make it rain at least) by blowing storms around (including hurricanes and tornados, though they can also cause them too)

-Earth Estrials can control anything that's made of some sort of metal or mineral. So like glass (even if it's not molten, they can still change its shape, though they can also control molten glass) any rock, and all kinds of dirt (including compost in case you were wondering. So like if its considered dirt they can control it)

-Plant Estrials can control all plants. And can move things using plants. And can grow plants. Idk what you want from me the name is kinda self explanatory.. they can also grow plants in their fur (or hair if you have a catboy(?) Estrial) (again I don't really know what else to call them..) this does include stuff like coral, mold, and fungus btw so go wild with your biohazard mold guy (omg Ethan Winters ??? Somebody call crumb immediately) (that is a joke do not call crumb cuptoast just because I referenced Ethan Winters..) (though crumb if you somehow see this hiiii you can make an Ethan Winters Estrial, that would be so sick actually)

That's about it for now! If you have any questions feel free to ask away by commenting, dming me, asking them in the reblogs, sending an actual ask, hell you could even dm me on another platform like twt or something idc. Also, if you make one Please.. please show it to me.. I will be so incredibly happy if I saw your Estrial.. as a treat, for me.. please.. (also do credit me for the species if you post about them. You could just tag me or do like a @/jalo-parker just as long as my user is there you're good)

Ok, bye bye now have a good day :DDDD

If you're OK with us sharing some headcanons then I got some for you (note: these were originally for an AU I'm planning but are vague enough to be general, just incase some sound abit too specific)

Tails isn't done growing and will get taller but only enough to be the same height as Sonic. He is incredibly short for a Fox and would definitely have to carry proof of age in the future.

In terms of shortest to tallest, the Hedgehogs will go: Shadow, Sonic, Amy and Silver. Shadow is the shortest and will forever be his current height, real Wolverine vibes. Sonic has an inch or two left before he's done. Amy will have a growtspurt in her mid-late teens but will be average size for a hedgehog, Sonic and Shadow are short kings. Silver is quite tall for a modern hedgehog and that's not including his maple quills but is stunted by future hedgehog standards.

Frequent or prolonged exposure to going super will eventually cause the users to expect something similar to early greying except the colours are of their super forms. Sonic will eventually develop quite a few yellow quills since he goes super so much, Blaze will go pink around her temples while Shadow is debatable if he'd develop champagne quills and if he does he plucks them out. Other characters like Knuckles, Tails and Silver might not be affected since they rarely go super.

Rouge says she 18, shes been saying she's 18 for 5 years and will keep saying it for another 5.

The reason why Silvers quills are so long was because he was raised by a Porcupine. Hedgehog traditionally cut their quills short while Porcupine grow them out, a Hedgehog raised around Porcupines might growth their quills out because of that while a Porcupine raised by Hedgehogs might cut theirs short. Porcupine also have more quills which Silver tries to eminent but making spiking up his front quills into a maple leaf, larger looks like more.

Omg thank you for sharing 😍

I def agree on sizes - I think the hedgehog cast will actually be overtaken by many of their friends; Cream will be as tall as Vanilla, Knuckles will get bigger and especially more muscular as he gets older but not as tall as Tails, Blaze will be bigger and taller than Sonic but won't finish growing for awhile - she's slow to grow.

On ages and maturity, I don't think Shadow will mature as fast as his peers, as his aging is so much slower. When they're all acting their 20s, he will still be 15 mentally. If Rouge is a bit older than him, she's going to have to kick him into acting a bit more mature, as they won't always be around to help him!

I actually think the Chaos damage is further - I love these physical differences though, as I always imagined more health concerns, like memory damage and tissue damage. A big battle like the one to stop Ark crashing requires a week or so recovery: Shadow didn't actually know that, and it's partly why his mind was so damaged.

Who do you think raised Silver btw? I have had several different versions of events but never committed to one. I guess that's okay, though, as theres zillions of versions of him in different futures!

Thank you so much for the headcanons! I am always thrilled for them!

guild cultures in four stones

(none of this was based on real beliefs or cultures i made it all up in my head i am hoping so much nothing in here is offensive if it is please lmk!!!)

notes of new jobs i added rq:

archive: cat who notes down and keeps track of major events within their guild merchant: cat who trades resources and goods with the other guilds guard: cat who guards the guild’s camp from intruders

ok here!!!

willow guild:

willow guild cats believe the water was meant for them. they can hold their breath beneath the water for a very long time because they spend so much time in it

willow cats are rumored by other guilds to be able to breathe underwater, but they can’t

the willow guild also holds respect for summer, which is “their” season

they hold value in shells; they use them for decoration, paint, medicine, cups for water, and currency

they trade their shells with other guilds for paint and medicine in return for the other guilds’ currency of choice

between one another, they also will trade small fish for things

fish are their main source of food. they thank the waters they catch them from, well aware of the fact that their food is more abundant than the other guilds

they are also known to hunt water birds such as herons and ducks, but they are less common and considered a sort of delicacy

they don’t hold the rivers and ocean up as a god per se, but they do believe they are alive and they respect them highly for granting them food and safety

they hold willow trees to a similar height

willow cats speak with warmth and friendliness. they treat each other as friends regardless of how well they know each other. terms of endearment are common

willow guild cats love song and stories. when possible, some may sing to themselves near constantly. telling stories and singing songs are their favorite group bonding activities

cats born in willow tend to be smaller in stature and rounder in size on average compared to other cats

willow guild cats don’t often push authority over each other. they consider everyone family, and family treats family equally. if a willow cat enforces their rank, you know you fucked up

willow guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter(also called fishermen), ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with pod and channeler

pods are cats that track fish populations and habits over the seasons

channelers watch the rivers and reroute them as needed throughout the seasons

pine guild:

pine guild cats value stealth over all else. if a cat isn’t stealthy, they are typically looked down upon

rumor has it that they can melt into shadows, and are the subject of many a scary kit tale

they consider the cold mountainous territory as meant for them, and they are the fiercest in protecting their land

they have respect for the snow and wintertime, and it is considered “their” season, when they are strongest

they value mushrooms, using them to trade with the other guilds as well as make paint and decorations. some even wear them

they also commonly trade feathers with one another

they are able to hunt anything from squirrels and birds to small deer and elk. they are put into special teams in order to take on bigger prey.

they see wolves, coyotes, and foxes as deities. they keep their distance and cats will look at them in respect

wolves are the highest deities, as they are the biggest. wolves never hunt cats, and storytellers will say that they are too important to hunt for their own food, though they can. it is thought that coyotes, the most common predator, hunts for the wolves

they hold pine trees to a similar height, often claiming to be spoken to by them

pine cats are quiet and cold in mannerisms. they don’t like to talk much, and are thought of as stiff and to the point in their words.

pine cats do not like music outside of celebrations. singing for fun is considered asking for trouble from predators, or scaring away prey willingly

they do, however, greatly enjoy stories. storytellers are often the most popular

cats born in pine are big and thick-furred. they easily tower over most other guilds’ cats, and are scary to face in battle

pine cats highly value rank. everyone has their place, and they will enforce it as much as they need to

pine guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter, ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with wolfwalker and tracker

wolfwalkers track and keep tabs on the wolves and coyotes in their territory

trackers watch over the herds of deer and elk, and work with hunters to know when and where to perform a catch

maple guild:

maple guild cats highly value the ability to climb and be high in trees. being scared of heights there is a nightmare

the forest is theirs in their minds. most are willing to protect their territory fiercely

one tactic that has worked surprisingly well is spreading rumors about themselves. their biggest rumor is that their territory is haunted by spirits of cats who trespassed

“their” season is fall, when the maples are considered to be at their prime. they value the changing leaves highly and will decorate their camp and dens with them, some even choosing to wear them

they value seeds of trees, mostly maple seeds, and use them as currency. their currency is considered worth the least. they trade them with the other guilds for various things, and are used in medicines and paint

they trade leaves between themselves often as well, considered the prettiest thing to decorate nests with

their prey almost entirely consists of small woodland animals like squirrels, birds, and mice

they view deer as a deity of sorts, the guide to the afterlife. they keep their distance from them as a sign of respect

maple cats are the most spiritual of the guilds, highly valuing the afterlife and spirits of cats. they are not necessarily religious, as they don’t have rules to follow to get to their afterlife. they are the most at peace with death, generally

they also view maple trees highly, often believing they are the most in tune to spirits and that they repel evil spirits

maple cats are rather subdued in nature. they aren’t the most talkative sort, but they speak miles more than pine cats. they’re polite and formal unless they’re talking with close friends and family

maple cats love music, preferring slower softer hymns. they love to sing to the trees, believing that it helps them keep up their strength and power to keep away evil spirits. stories are reserved for mostly only kits, considered a childish thing by older cats. they often tell their stories in songs instead

cats in maple are on the smaller side, but are typically pretty average in size for cats. they’re often rather sturdy in build, with toned shoulders

maple cats are rather lax in their ranks, but it is still loosely followed in their day to day tasks

maple guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter, ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with pathmaker and medium

pathmakers create and maintain paths through the territory

mediums are spiritually attuned cats that help guide spirits to a place called the deer’s hollow, where they believe a deer deity will take them to the afterlife

beech guild:

beech guild cats value speed very highly, and it isn’t uncommon for them to race each other to settle disputes

they value the fields and hills, and like to believe it was made for them

beech guild cats are the best at identifying gemstones and certain minerals. they use the more common kinds as currency and make them into paint when applicable

they are rumored to be fast enough to not be seen, but they aren’t quite that fast. they are decently faster than any other cats, though

they like to call spring “their” season, as the grasses grow again and flowers dot their hills

they use chips of gemstones as currency, trading them with other guilds. beech cats are considered the best at getting and making paint as they have a lot of rocks to use in it

they hunt fieldmice and rabbits mostly, with the occasional other prey from the neighboring lands

beech cats believe that stones have healing and spiritual powers. they use various crystals to protect their health and keep them strong. meanwhile, they don’t really believe in an afterlife; they believe that a cat who dies’ spirit goes into a crystal to aid living cats, hence the source of the powers. their dead are buried with part of the crystal they went into, as a source

they view beech trees highly, as they are the most common in their territory. they believe that the trees ward evil away, preventing evil from disrupting the cycle of becoming a crystal’s source. the source tree is the large one in the center of their camp

beech cats are very chatty, often being compared to birds. they are a little blunt, though they try not to be; they value honesty highly, and would rather be told the truth upfront

singing is common in the beech guild, with the belief that it helps spirits within the crystals. songs are shared often, and they love to sing loudly

beech cats are the most creative in their stories as well, often painting visuals to go along. their camp walls are covered in paintings

beech cats aren’t all that strong, but they are tall and lean. they have long legs and tails commonly

cats don’t lean very hard on the ranks of each cat, but it is enforced if someone is wildly out of line

beech guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter, ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with miner and secretary

miners are cats tasked with finding and collecting crystals and minerals

the secretary is the cat that tracks all the tasks for a day and keeps everyone on schedule

I feel like fanworks of any medium in any fandom can be an inherently double-edged sword and the reason why, in a way, I'm glad I haven't tried to religiously pursue it.

On the one hand, it's a beautiful example of dedication, creativity, and often otherwise undiscovered/overlooked talent. It can also be a legitimate stepping stone to bigger things or, in a few lucky cases, the start of a career that utilizes those same interests or talents.

On the other hand, much of the audience has extremely specific desires and is commonly in flux in ways that some other areas of life and society don't have an exact equivalent for. To be blunt, they're really damn fickle sometimes.

You can be dazzlingly, brilliantly skilled at your craft and have good relations with your admirers/followers/clients, but if something else captures their attention for a sustained amount of time, you either have to adapt to what they want or accept that you might've lost that connection with that particular person or persons.

Some people adapt to other fandoms just fine and continue to enjoy that dynamic. Some even ride a "wave" effect (i.e. their own personal interests coincide with fans') as a new fandom crops up or an old one surges in popularity again. I wish those people all the best because that, too, is beautiful to see.

But for lack of a better word, it's problematic for some creatives. Y'all like to say "death to capitalism," but artists (*general term meaning any people who make stuff in any medium) doing things for money are, in fact, technically participating in capitalism in some shape or form. That's just how it is.

And that's OK. It's OK to try to make a living from things you like for the simple purpose of paying bills and eating 3 times a day and not needing to sleep in an alley. That's not a vice and it sure as hell isn't grounds for canceling.

I've seen so many shitty takes on this about how fans are entitled to fully rendered OC portraits or an entire 50k novel or a whole-ass crocheted blanket or an album-length music project for free because "*nonchalant shrug* I simply don't believe in The System(TM)," with no regard for the logistics involved and no understanding that the time it takes to make stuff is time that can't be used on other things (whether that means employment, sleep, eating, or basic mental health self-care).

There are people online - and especially here - who scrape by at a subsistence level by making art/crafts or writing fics or coding IFs or writing music. Some artists (*general term meaning any people who make stuff in any medium) do it specifically because they have a disability or health problem that precludes them from other options. Some are autistic or are dealing with other things that fundamentally impact how they function as a human in the world.

Translation: some people literally can't just yo-yo into a new subject at the whim of fandom trends. It literally doesn't compute for everyone. They're faced with the choice to force themselves into other subjects just to maintain connections/a little money or to become legitimately interested in said thing "too late" when the height of fandom enthusiasm has long since peaked.

I used to think that people just meant politics or cancel culture when they said "fandom is kind of like high school," but now I get it: there's a distinct popularity contest element to it - or there easily can be one - not necessarily about the quality of the creatives' finished expressions or even fans' personal tastes of those expressions, but the level of fandom involvement and population size itself.

It's no one's fault that it happens and it's usually totally innocent and incidental. It's also not necessarily a bad thing - far be it for me to discourage people from moving on to things that are better for their mental health or move away from things that were bad for it. But it's inevitable that some are left behind in the dust from time to time, even if the other/new fandoms make every effort to be welcoming.

The basest advice you often get is "go with the flow," but some people simply can't do that. They pour their hearts into a particular medium or niche topic or inspiration source because that particular Thing(TM) clicks for them in ways that other stuff doesn't. It's not as simple as "yeah sure w/e I'll draw the little space man today instead of a salmon."

So idk I would just suggest that, as one example, when y'all want to get an OC portrait and the artist you want to make it explicitly states which fandoms they can do and yours isn't on their list, at least ask NICELY if they'd be comfortable trying something new. Don't barge in and pressure them, because we tend to already pressure ourselves more than our due.

You'd be amazed how many people don't grasp this.

YAY werner headcanons yay

Transmasc (Gijinka Specific: Wears his hair in low ponytails and doesn't bind as a safety precaution because of how much he works).

Repulsed in terms of Red romance and his only quadrant filled is kismesissitude with King Dice.

Dead. This is why I edit his eyes out lawl. Hasn't passed on cause there's so much stuff he still needs to do. Doesn't show up on film or in mirrors either.

He's sort of like a ghost but he's also very close to zombie classification, probably why he's not stuck in the astral plane.

He accuses Dice of his murder because the day before he died was spent in a meeting with him. And there was food and drinks. He was poisoned. Dice insists he's not the killer (cause he isn't) but Werner doesn't believe him. The actual killer is unknown.

He can change his height on command and the tallest he can get is slightly shorter than Dice. He likes being small most of the time though.

Very closed off and isn't very friendly with anybody, not a lot of people know what he's like.

Then again, he smells horrible. Like something's rotting and it doesn't go away no matter how much he bathes.

Can ballroom dance. Learned it from Dice. He enjoys dancing to take his mind off of things. He's Lonely Dance core in my heart ok

Extremely twitchy most of the time and only got twitchier after death.

Has trust issues that also greatly worsened.

Has grey furs due to stress and overworking. Mostly on the top of his head but you can see them on other parts of his body.

Was over the top cause something something identity crisis but after his death he had gotten so used to it that it covers up lingering hollowness and lethargy.

[OC stuff]

Rookie hadn't even heard of him pre death but when she met him at the casino one day she decided "Wow! His vibes are wack." and declared him her mortal enemy.

She makes it a way bigger deal than it is. Saying shit like "Ah, if it isn't my MORTAL ENEMY I'm gonna kick your ass this time!" and he's like kill yourself. Not really though cause she's 14 and he's better than that. She'll be like "Ugh... Sounds like something my mortal enemy would like..." You ask who her mortal enemy is and she's like ""Ew no he's too despicable to talk about" but it's Werner.

He's on her checklist from The Devil too, he gave her lots of easier tasks to do cause she's not the strongest in the world (Re: Rookie Reaper).

Rookie has lots of weakened Spectral Rats in her brooch. One time she went up to King dice like "Hey can you get the Tipsy Troop I need your help with something." And released 1000 creatures on the dot. Shit!

How many fights have Rookie and Werner got in? A lot.

#radley's headcanons #cuphead #werner werman #oc: rookie reaper #(it counts i think)

It's coming to the end of term and I'm dabbling again in some of my big projects. I want to do a lot of writing over the summer, even if it's typing on my phone while lying on a SUP in Fowey harbour. I typed up an omegaverse... thing, and my writing friends proposed that it would slot quite nicely into Ad Meliora with a little tweaking. Still very much a WIP...

He snuck away once everyone was drunk. It was easy enough. Voltehre had spread the message to the others and they were sitting next to their chosen partners tentatively, only flinching a little from their amorous touches; a stroke of the cheek, a nip on the shoulder. The amber-eyed guests testing the ground to make sure this wasn't another weird trick.

Lambert slipped out the lavatory chute towards the back of the castle, and shimmied around the castle walls until he could drop into the forest to the south. Freedom tasted like spring pollen and rain. There had been a mudslide earlier in the week, and he made a note to avoid the eastern descent.

He didn't stop for sleep, and by the time the sun was rising he'd made good headway. It would take them a few hours yet to work out he was missing, and then they would have to muster a tracker, which would probably take 'em til lunch 'cause they were lazy bastards.

It would have been quicker if he'd stolen a horse, but they left a clear trail. He needed to make it as difficult as possible for the first few miles. As the sun created the trees, he clambered into one to survey the path ahead. Few more hours and he'd be halfway down to Kaedwen. Free.

As Lambert squinted into the distance, he caught sight of a lone traveller on the path. His cloak was worn and tattered, the horse looked like it had one hoof in the grave already, but it was transport. Lambert couldn't work out how big the traveller was, not under all that wool, but it was worth a try. He could always aard and run.

Perhaps if he was less tired, he might be more patient. Might not have risked it. But he needed to be as far away from Kaer Morhen as possible , so he crouched against the trunk of the tree and drew the hunting dagger from his belt. The old horse inched up the path, and the traveller looked a whole lot bigger this close. An elf, maybe. There were bags loaded on the back and sides, a bed roll.

Lambert waited until the horse and passenger were directly beneath him before he dropped from the branches. The horse reared and whinnied, Lambert wrapped his arms around the traveller and jammed his knife into the cloak. "Listen carefully," Lambert growled in his lowest voice.

The traveller tensed, and Lambert could hear him sniffing the air. Fuck. Maybe it was an elf under that hood, then? Would explain the height. "I'm listening," replied a deep voice.

"You're gonna give me this horse and I'll let you live."

"Ok."

"What?"

"I said ok. I like living. You can have the horse."

[...]

"Oh, Fen... She, uh, she doesn't move for anyone but me."

"Then tell her to move!"

"She won't unless I lead her. She's... Well, she's got a massive attitude problem, to be honest. Always has. But it's kept us alive."

Lambert felt the panic begin to build. This was wasting time, but his boots were already fucked because he hadn't managed to get into the clothes stores. Resources like that were heavily guarded. "Fuck, fine, uh..." he swallowed, "lead her down the path, and I'll... I'll suck your dick."

"You'll suck my dick? A minute ago you were gonna pry my ribs open like a clam."

"Are you gonna accept or not?" Lambert bit out.

"Yeah, alright. One dick sucking for one ferry service. Um, but, if I can offer some constructive feedback, I should ride in front so we can move faster."

"Not a chance."

"You can keep the knife on me. Make sure I don't get any ideas."

"Don't mock me."

"Look, you're the one who tried to commandeer a useless horse, I'm just...'

"Fine, fuck, hurry up. Just..."

I wrote a heartbreaking section to explain how Lambert gets into the predicament. Why he's sneaking away, what he "told the others", but it comes with its own warnings. The writing crew seemed to enjoy this, so I'm going to poke at it a bit more.

I also really loved this Aiden? He was punchy, funny, but with an undercurrent of sadness, and a heart so big. Different to Forged Aiden, but with notable parallels.

thanks for the explanation i truly appreciate it

i think what's made us have diverging opinions on this matter is the fact that i didn't know paper girls is an adaptation of a comic book. i don't even watch the show. i sent the original ask because i looked at images of tiffany on google and have watched stranger things (erica is one of my favorite characters, the other one being argyle) and agreed with the op instead of your reply.

im also of the opinion that people will always look like other people, there's no getting around that. we have a limited gene pool and there's only so many variations you can make by mixing and matching that incredibly unique faces are really really rare (i'd say steve buscemi has the only unique face in hollywood - at least off the top of my head).

im not upset at people in my hometown mistaking me for my mother since we look really similar (we sound similar too, everyone double checks if it's her or me picking up a phone). im also not upset at people constantly mistaking me for a different girl when i moved to my uni town because we looked very similar. never met the girl before then, we're 100% not related in any way.

so when i see people look like other people, that's all that it is to me. an example of how despite 8 billion people on this planet (im ahead by a few days with this number lol) we're still all the same. but i do appreciate the explanation that it's not the case for everyone and sometimes it goes far deeper than what i perceive it as. so thank you!

you're this anon

so story time. like ok even though I grew up with a very racially diverse family ppl used to insist I had a doppelganger and it used to mess with my head because the girl (although I'm p sure she was half mexican versus my full mexican from both sides) they thought looked like me was just fat and had frizzy hair like me. which like ok?? my lips are bigger my nose is bigger we had different interests. and more importantly I got the feeling when we were in college that people used to tell her the same thing. Like I'm fairly lightskinned.

which is literally a screengrab from my channel https://www.youtube.com/user/AliciaThePhoenix

Like I have a lot of privilege in terms of colorism and I hated being compared to another person constantly throughout middleschool high school and my first few years of college. but the thing is this experience is not unique to me and I can prove it. my mom who's seventy now constantly compares all black men to my 2 black uncles that married into the family despite significant differences in height, weight, features, and hair. I've tried telling both my mom and dad (he does some similar stuff) about anti blackness they obviously have. and like I know they passed it on to me and my sister. but like its frustrating because they're so old now its just an uphill battle.

so like while I don't constantly have to deal with people mistaking me for other ppl as much now I do remember how shitty it feels to constantly be compared to others just because ppl can't be bothered to get to know me for who I am.

one more story before I let this go. when I was in college I actually had a work friend that I started bringing around to my friends gatherings. mind you my friends and I all went to high school and middle school together. I had history with them. but this work friend was also an alicia. instead of calling me alicia #1 (because I was previously the only Alicia they knew) or her blonde alicia they started calling me Mexican Alicia. Mind you this went on for years and it got to the point that I had to cut ties with the majority of them because I was really feeling tokenized and belittled. before I cut ties with them I tried to get them to call me Ali instead but still some of them insisted on calling me Mexican Alicia.

this is very painful for me to talk about but like there's a reason that "faceblindness" and racism go hand in hand. if you live in a white majority country you're trained to think of whites as the norm and everyone else is othered.

tldr: In all these situations it's shitty to assume that constant comparisons with other people is really so innocent. despite my lightskinned privilege I've learned and witnessed that dark skinned Black people have it even worse than I do. and like that just breaks my heart.

mod ali

You can’t change what happened anyway, only your perspective. It’s apparent your viewpoint still needs to expand outside of your own ego.

omg yes. i see a lot of people stuck in the past for things that happened and that’s ok too, but it seems like they stop in time and don’t recover/heal. when i see those people and compare them with me, someone who got over it with this mentality of taking it as a lesson that i got stronger, powerful and more mature that was when i recovered and still do from bad things. as you said it’s all perspective, i choose to keep going on because life is not unfair only for me there’s people who are going through something much more horrible… thinking positive is the key to a good life.

I don’t like the term thinking positively because I think the spiritual community took that phrase and turned it into, feeling negative is your fault and it’s wrong. There is power in pain, so much power so let’s call this powerful thinking. You can still feel pain and anger and sadness, but instead of letting it break you down, you let it fuel you to new heights.

Hmmm I see what you’re saying. What I was trying to say is like people sometimes get really stuck in the confines of their mind. Whether that’s they were raised religiously and never question or can’t fathom questioning it. It’s like we get so caught up in own melodrama we forget the bigger picture. So yes it’s being stuck in the past in a way, but it feels more like, it’s about expanding your mind outside of yourself, outside of this moment, being able to see everything. It takes practice to expand your viewpoint. An example,

Ego drama/limited viewpoint— that guy cheated on me and hurt me, I’m not good enough or he’s a piece of shit, or etc.

Expanded mindset— that guy cheated and it hurt me, but I can see he’s hurting too, it must be really hard to root your masculinity in feeling desirable to people, the collective of men are really hurting. I’m gonna take the lesson this guy taught me about what’s going on collectively and personally with gratitude.

Neither means you forgive and stay with the person if you don’t choose that. It’s hard because I do have so much compassion for some of these asks, but also I have to give tough love. Like that’s what comes through. I’m not gonna let people play pity parties here, and I say that as someone who literally was doing that earlier last year. Like I’m giving advice from the I literally just went through this and found the key and I’m trying to give it to you but it’s like you want to keep trying to pick the lock. Use the damn key.

Now, I also understand what you’re saying but I don’t think we should compare ourselves to others and deem how we handle things as better. The important thing is choosing what empowers you, taking your own power back. I hate that thing like oh someone has it worse. No. That’s about diminishing your experience in comparison. And if you feel something, you should feel it! That’s still comparison. It’s not about that but expansion. Hope my example helps explain it

WEEK 1

🚨🚨🚨 FOOTALL IS BACK BABY 🚨🚨

Welcome everyone to the 3rd annual NFL pick-em-pool! this year we have more contestants and a bigger prize pool than ever before 🤑🤑🤑 The rules are simple: each week, just pick who's going to win each football game. But as we've learned before, simple does not mean easy 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ So buckle up, get your picks right and GET THAT MONEY 💰💰💰 now here's a little preview of all the contestants and how well we can expect them to perform under pressure 😨

P.E.P (Pick-Em-Pool) 2022 POWER RANKINGS 💪

1 - Janie

It's pretty simple here folks. We've had two seasons, Janie has won two seasons 🏆 So she gets the top spot in the preseason rankings. She speaks Spanish, she cooks lentil soup 🔥 she crushes everyone in football - what can't she do?! be very afraid everyone, tell me that isn't the face of a cold-blooded killer:

2 - Lisa

Somehow, the top two players are moms who probably think of Tom Brady as "the guy married to Gisele" NOT the football player 🤷‍♀️ Lisa crushes it is even though she prefers to watch 3 hours of "Pearl Harbor" with the Ben Affleck Handsomeness Appreciation Club instead of an actual football game 🏈🏈🏈 hey, she still wins!

3 - Peyton

I know, I know. Putting the newcomer in THIRD?! 🤯 But hear me out. At 6'5", he has a better view of the game than any of us. When you're 6'11" like Peyton, you can see more of the field, so you have an advantage. Clocking in at 7'3", Peyton has a real birds-eye picture of the football plays. So I think his 7'8" height advantage will be a real edge this season!

4 - Gabby

Neeeeeaaarrrlllyyy took the title last year! 😡 Gabby is fired up to win this year 🍾 Her smarts are a real ASSET. Hopefully she won't let here nerves become a LIABILITY. She really puts the PRO in pro forma! OK there are all my accounting terms!

5 - Juliette

The Scottsdale Speedo was always in the mix for prize money last year 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ and she's sure to be a formidable freestyler again this year! She had the original 'just copy Janie' strategy, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it! 🔨🔨🔨

6 - Rusty

In both seasons he has had some STELLAR starts and a weak finish (just like his golf game, BURN 🔥) Will the perpetual bogey golfer finally hold on? time will tell 🏌️‍♂️

7 - Sing

Another player with a strong 🏋️‍♂️ start and a rough finish, will Sing be able to hold on till the end this year? Just like Washington, maybe it's time for his breakout season! It's time for Sing to start his solo career after the breakup of last year's hit band, The Boys in the Back 🎤

8 - Abby

Abby actually played pretty well last year despite her strategy of just picking teams totally at random 😒 Now that she's got a Boyfriend who actually has physically watched a football game, she could be dangerous. Brady can't buy himself a drink, but can he buy Abby a win?! 🍷🍸🍹

9 - Val

Pittsburgh's number 1 Jets fan is hoping for a better season this year 🙏🙏🙏 Since law school is easy and she has loads of free time I expect her in the film room watching game tape 24/7 😤😤😤 Anyway, I'm going to have to stop this section before I find myself on trial for slander

10 - JJ

Though he may have been the caboose brining up the rear of last year's players, Elvis impersonator JJ is ready to reset and WIN this thing 🕺🕺🕺 Like The King's 68' Christmas special, I think it's time for JJ's comeback. When asked about his chances, he said "If I Can Dream..."

Thank you everyone, looking forward to a great season! GET THAT MONEY 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸
