p. Christmas 2023

summary: Nashae is known to the world as Yahya, the sweet voice that has dominated the music industry for almost twenty years. The Queen of R&B wanted nothing more in life than to settle down, especially after seeing her friends getting married, but it's never happened. After a Christmas home with friends, she's introduced to a romance that brings out a side of her she never knew was there.

a/n: wwe is a more serious sport. think of wwe as a brand like the nfl or nba but it has more freedom like boxing/mma. it's not as scripted as we know it to be.

→p.I ←

Nashea “Coco” Hapeta, known publicly as Yahya -was the top R&B singer with a career spanning almost two decades of music, film, and modeling. At thirty-two, she was the standard, the GOAT, the Queen of R&B. However, tonight she was just Coco. Relaxing with her best friend’s Trinity Fatu for a pajama themed party, she relished in the loving atmosphere and joy that being around a large family brought. In the kitchen, she sat at the island with a glass of white wine and a plate of food in front of her. If there was one thing she was going to do, it was eat.

“My husband’s family is late, but they are like five minutes away.” Trinity laughed. “I swear that’s why I told him the wrong time last time, but I was trying to be right this year.”

Fork full of greens, Coco savored the taste of the pork it was cooked in as she took the bite. Hand hovering by her mouth, she shook her head. “I was just being greedy, you did not have to let me fix a plate.”

“Girl, they are always late. The only reason they were on time for the wedding was because it was right at the hotel and they knew they wouldn’t get in if they weren’t.”

In matching gingerbread pajamas, Trinity looked at her younger sister, Imani, and rolled her eyes. She was also holding a plate and chewing on a deviled egg. Having met Trinity in college, Coco and her hit off. Two years later their friend group expanded to include Trinity’s younger sister. Somehow, Bianca Crawford and Mercedes Varnado from WWE had also melted into their friend group and the unit have been close for about six years now.

The large Christmas tree was decorated to the nines in different sized gold and red bulbs in the living room. A few ribbons were wrapped around the tree and at the top was a large bow instead of a star. It was lit up with warm brown lights. Beneath it, and color coded, were multiple boxes of wrapped gifts for their secret Santa exchange. Two weeks ago, one of the aunts passed everyone their name for the exchange. Coco had been absent, but wanted to participate and ended up pulling Joe’s name. She had only seen him once at a family event, but they had never been introduced to each other. Her gifts to him were wrapped in shimmering gold paper with thick black ribbon bows. It was hard, but she thinks she got him gifts he’d like and could use.

Sipping her wine, she could see the front door opening out the corner of her eyes. Children, two dogs, five boisterous voices and some feminine laughter all filled the kitchen in seconds and before she could get up from the stool to hug him, the single twin Jey yanked her into a hug.

“What’s up sis!” He said, his arms tight around her shoulders as her arms went around his middle.

“Hey, Jey, god, loosen up I can’t breathe,’ she giggled.

They managed to have on the same pajamas, the basic red flannel with thick black satin ribbon at the waist. He was in a black tank top while she had on a cropped black sweater. Her hair was piled on top of her head in a messy bun that was falling to pieces after his hug. Jimmy greeted her with a side hug and went to his wife before planting a kiss on her lips. Coco loved how much they were in love.

“What the hell were y’all doing to be,’ Bianca looked down at her watch, “thirty minutes late?”

Her husband, Montez, strolled up to her in their matching green silk pajamas ready to explain their absence.

“We stopped for drinks,’ a heavy and deep voice replied.

Coming up behind her, bottles of alcohol were placed on the island where she was eating by large hands with manicured fingers. He smelled like cognac, deep and rich. Sliding back into her seat, she picked up her fork, watching him push the bottles towards the center of the island so they didn’t fall. A moment later, his head turned to her, dark eyes giving her the once over before recognition set in. She turned her head and he quickly got the hint, but were her cheeks red? Joe hid his smirk.

“Please don’t ever leave me with those three.” Sarona, known by most as Tamina, stepped into the kitchen with gift bags in her hand.

Her brown eyes landed on Coco and a smile broke out on her face.

“I know that isn’t little Nae Nae,’ she pushed Jey out the way and wrapped her arms around the smaller woman. “I haven’t seen you in years, girl what the fuck!”

“Talofa Sarona,’ Coco replied sheepishly.

To be one of the biggest stars in the music industry, Coco was honestly very shy. How she managed to have loud ass friends was a mystery.

“Don’t give me native tongue! I missed you so much!”

She was hugged again and twenty minutes later they were all vibing to music and party games. It felt good being home with people she loved and as she looked around at everyone having a good time she didn’t want it to end. She pulled out her camera and started taking photos for her scrapbook. Each holiday of the year had its own photos and videos saved on her laptop. Turning the camera towards herself she took a few selfies on her own before Jey slid over making silly faces. He was really like a big brother to her and one of the guys that always called or checked in with her, even when she couldn’t answer. Everyone followed and soon they were trying to set up all their phones to catch the group picture.

“Yo, Joe your camera is the best, just take it on yours and send it to everybody.” Montez suggested.

Joe had been sitting on the couch watching everyone, but more specifically, he’d been a little star struck. The Yahya, Coco, was sitting across from him and his palms were sweaty. He had her poster on his dorm wall for fucks sake. He’d been around many celebrities and never felt so stuck. So exposed.

Fuck, he felt like a kid with a damn crush.

“We have the same phone,’ he replied puzzled.

“I want to post some of these photos,’ Coco said, saving Joe from having to risk his phone getting broken. “I brought my tripod and Nikon.”

Situated for the group photo, Coco was flanked in the middle by Trinity and Bianca with Jimmy and Montez on the ends. Mercedes and Sarona were sitting on the back of the couch with Joe standing between them. Once it was taken they kicked the guys out of the shot so they could take more.

She posted a few, including the group photo. Her personal life was so well guarded, that she made sure her location wasn’t on so they couldn’t track Trinity’s house. This was a yearly party, so her fans were well aware of her friend group, but there were always the crazies that took their devotion too far.

→p.II ←

Between the alcohol flowing in all of them a game of drunk twister ended up being played outside in the barely lit backyard. Coco was currently in a backbend after Saronas spin had her contorting her body so she wouldn’t lose. Trinity was in a split, Bianca was stretched across the red and yellow circles, Mercedes was almost standing on Jey’s head by the blues, and it was Joe’s turn. So far he had it easy as the only one still standing.

“You good like that Co?” Trinity laughed before ticking her exposed side.

The singer almost buckled and her giggles were muffled from the fabric of her top falling in her face. Her lacy halter bra covered her but the cool air licked at her skin causing chill bumps. She was definitely ready for the spiced hot chocolate and movie.

“As long as Joe’s left foot doesn't land on red," she finally replied.

The only red space visible was under her head and the last thing she wanted was to land on a foot. She couldn’t see his face because his back was to her, but his smell was suffocating and being outside didn’t help. She could only smell him. Even from upside down. She’s been around a lot of men in the industry, but he smelled divine. It was just a Samoan man thing: to smell so fucking good. She could hear him thump the arrow this spin. His leg moved, putting his right foot on blue. Since Sarona was watching and recording, she spun for Coco.

“Left leg green!”

She knew it was to the right of her, but there was no way she was going to make it. Bending her knees for a second she flung her legs upwards into a handstand but between the tight space and liquor she immediately lost her balance and clenched her eyes shut for impact.

“Good catch, Co, girl you know you're out,’ Sarona laughed.

Opening her eyes and realized Joe had caught her. One of her legs was on his shoulder while the other hung, dangling from the ground. She weighed very little and he flipped her upright and helped her step around the contorted players. His hands lingered on her lower back as he guided her without losing his footing on the mat.

“Uh, thank you,’ Coco said.

Joe winked.

On the inside the wrestler was screaming. He had her. In his arms. She might have been upside down but how many people could say they held her. He watched her out the corner of his eye take a seat next to Sarona. For the first time he noticed how much smaller she was compared to everyone else. She barely came to his chest when they were standing around. And he had to look down at her when they did exchange words. He admired her. He was admiring her. The way the moonlight shone down on her dark brown skin, the softness of her brown eyes, her plush lips, the damn slope of her nose, fuck. She was beautiful when done up in videos and shows, but seeing her bare face and relaxed gave her another level of beauty he couldn’t put into words.

“Dude,’ Jimmy punched Joe in the arm, “can you make it any more obvious?”

He was off to the side watching the game unfold when he noticed Joe was distracted. He followed his older cousin's gaze to where Coco was showing Sarona something on her phone.

“I don’t know what you're talking about.”

“I remember the posters, you singing Upgrade You during your workout, you're a whole fan.”

“Shut up,’ Joe hissed. “You make me sound weird.”

Shaking his head, Jimmy sighed. “You have been eying her since you came in. I saw how you looked at her while she was eating.”

“I didn’t know who she was at first.”

“Well, it looked like you wanted to eat her.”

“J-”

“Like take a bite of the ass type eating.”

“Aye, I get it.”

“Bruh!” Montez yelled, ‘can we get back to the damn game?”

Trinity ended up winning and they all cleaned up and went inside to eat again and set up for the gift exchange.

While everyone got cleaned up Coco was standing in the kitchen getting the hot chocolate and bourbon ready. Taking a shot, she grimaced as the vodka warmed her belly.

“That’s some pretty strong stuff.”

Coco looked up as Joe walked into the kitchen. His hands were in the pocket of his pants. Like her he was barefoot.

“I think it all burns the same,’ she laughed. “I’m not a big drinker, but it’s the holidays.”

He could agree with her on that. Being a wrestler meant taking exceptional care of his body and alcohol, with exceptions, was something he avoided. Most of the food they were having tonight he avoided, but like Coco he could sneak a few cheat meals during the holidays.

“I’m already dreading the gym trips,’ Joe laughed.

“You don’t look like you need it much,’ she replied. “I mean not that you don’t look good or anything. I watch you…I mean, them, the show.” She rambled. “I watch the shows.” Coco sighed.

“You do?” He said, hoping he sounded light hearted.

“I try to catch some of the shows when I have time. I’ve pretty much seen all of the pay perviews recently.”

Joe leaned against the island next to her, his shoulder against hers, well, nearly.

“You’ve watched mine,’ he asked boldly.

“You’re hard to miss.”

They stood in silence for a while, Coco watching the milk and Joe watching her.

→p.III←

Presents were divided up and one by one they all opened them up. Coco’s Secret Santa turned out to be Joe and she was surprised at his gifts. Her favorite was probably the cashmere zip hoodie, she had been trying to get her hands on one of these for months and they were sold out. She was never one to use her celebrity status for a get ahead, so she had been watching the site for weeks.

“Okay so this is my new favorite hoodie, how did you even get one of these?”

She slipped her arms into the soft material and glanced over at him.

“I knew someone. I know they are pretty popular.”

Conveniently the price tag had been ripped off, but she knew what they cost.

“I’ve been watching the site for weeks.”

She opened the rest of her gifts; a simple tennis bracelet, an LV clutch-in another color she didn’t have but wanted-, Dior shades, and pair of Louboutins. They were a custom brown shade with her name -CoCo- in elegant script on the right one.

“Yeah, Joe getting my name next year.” Bianca reached for the shoes as the room laughed.

She was in no spot to talk, Coco had gushed over the custom fur she had been given. Everyone in the just knew each other, so it was odd for Joe to have no idea who she was but somehow figured out what she’d like.

“Obviously he knows who had his name and its funny as hell they got each other.” Mercedes cackled.

Coco watched as he opened the shoe box. Jey helped her with his shoe size and she had a pair of custom leather boots from an atelier. She bit down on her bottom lip and hoped he liked them. They were brown with black laces and detailing on the sole. They were a simple shoe, but heavy from the leather.

“I know they are kind of simple,’ she rambled.

“No, no, no,’ he smiled. “I like them. A lot.”

The rest of his gifts were a gold chain, custom Nike tech suits in black and one that matches his in ring persona of the Tribal Chief. It had a Samoan art style and was a show piece more than something for casual wear. Though he could if wanted. There was also a Cartier watch. His last gift was probably her favorite to pick out. Jey had told her he was into vinyls so she scoured some old record stores and found a few classics like Prince and Michael Jackson.

“I pulled the Marvin Gaye one from my collection.”

When all the paper and gifts were put up, they all piled on the couches to watch This Christmas. After today they’d all go back to their busy schedules, sneaking in calls when they had the time.

It was back to being Yahya, the superstar.

A full transcribe of MAX PHILLIPS' dialogue/lines from the film BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS.

Includes full dialogue, and dialogue from any deleted/additional scenes available.

I've created this as a point of reference when writing for Pedro's characters, and I hope you find it useful. Even if you just want to read the dialogue. 🖤

FULL MASTERLIST OF PEDRO CHARACTERS DIALOGUE

☝🏻Dialogue has been fully transcribed by myself using reference to original scripts (if available), audio subtitles and using my own two ears. Therefore, mistakes can be made, however I have tried to be as fully accurate as I can. If you spot an obvious mistake, please kindly let me know. Where audio is not clear, I have marked with *inaudible* Scenes are separated for ease of reference.

FULL SCRIPT DIALOGUE:

Hey Evan!

__________________

Question. What do we sell here?

No, Michael. We sell dreams.

Sales is… seduction. And when you seduce, do you say I have a 401k? Or I floss? No. You say, I love you. Because people make decisions from the heart. You want to sell a bunch of useless crap to fat losers in Alabama and bored housewives in Iowa, feed their dreams. Convince them. Their lives can transcend the pointless slog of being human. Give them hope. Open their eyes to something… bigger. Sink your teeth into their poor, pathetic lives, and give them life. And better abs.

Our goal for this month is… one million dollars in sales. It’s aggressive, yes. I’m confident we can hit it. And if we don’t, Ted and I have already agreed we’ll be forced to kill all of you.

__________________

Thank you, Gerry.

Are those the employee files I requested?

Listen, Amanda. I know you and Evan have a history, and I know that you care about him.

Sure, sure, sure, tell you what. After I settle in, you and I can schedule some one-on-one and get to know each other.

Hey, buddy! Just had a little HR talk. Thanks, Mandy, we’ll circle back round.

Long time no see, am I right?

Listen, Evan. I know you and I had a little falling out. But as far as I’m concerned, water under the bridge. Ancient history. ‘Cause it’s all about the company now, right?

Knew I could count on you.

__________________

We’re going to get this place lean and mean, Theodore. We're gonna need to separate the meat from the talent. We’re gonna-

Evan, Evan. Slow down! What’s up now?

Ted, call security.

Evan, this isn’t some way of stalling on the Fallowcite presentation, is it?

We’re counting on ya, slugger.

__________________

Dave, right?

I hear you're the guy to talk to about office pools. Company’s sports zsar.

Oh yeah?

Oh, nonsense. Morale is vital to the health of any company. And you make an important contribution. Let’s pop into my man cave and you can give me the Vegas tips on NBA playoffs and dirt on upcoming events, you know, man stuff.

__________________

Oh gosh, buddy, that hurts my feelings. I'm sure Amanda is great in a crisis, but don’t you think this call is more suited to 911?

I just devoured her… fabulous Osso Bucco! Who knew she was such a demon in the kitchen? Absolutely open another bottle, as long as it’s red!

Do I hear banging? On your end, I mean. There’s no banging happening here, yet.

It’s Evan calling to tell us he’s absolutely crushing the Fallowcite presentation for tomorrow. Do you wanna talk to him?

Sorry, buddy, you’re stuck with me.

I think you better focus on your own problems, bro. But I’ll give Amanda your best. Actually, I’ll give her mine. It’s better.

Where are we, is the more pertinent question?

You… have beautiful eyes.

Don’t I know it...

__________________

Ted. Ted, Ted. Let’s not be hasty. Andrew finished the job, but Evan laid down the groundwork. Look at this poor fella. He was just passed over for a promotion, he slept in the supply closet and he smells like a dead worn hooker. He’s just having a rough patch. Let’s give him a pass on this one, ‘kay?

__________________

Poor, poor, Elaine. All ginger and no joy.

Yes, you do! I want you… ssh.

You all are.

__________________

Corporate was threatening to shut down the entire branch, I simply presented Ted with an alternative.

After your little stunt in college, the only school that would take me was this university in Romania. But it turns out, it had a very unique MBA programme. Whole new paradigm in business management.

That is the worst part of this job! Firing people.

It’s true, Amanda. You gotta start working on your stubbornness if you wanna be a part of the team.

Is that so?

Oh. Okay. Well, show yourselves out.

Bye, gang.

__________________

Oops.

Oh no, no, no, no, no. I need you to learn how to delegate.

Not if you kill them first, people. Learn how to take the initiative if you don't want me to micro manage!

No, it’s a balancing act, to be sure.

Well don’t worry about it. It’s mostly marketing.

Still, a good manager knows when his staff is getting overextended. Be a dear and call downstairs for me, would ya?

Yeah feel free, make yourself at home.

Who am I going to get to stock the supply closet now?

Ehh. I’ll make more.

Not in the slightest.

Oh honestly, guys. Did you really think it was going to be that easy?

Oh come on! You think I'd attempt to take over this entire company without consulting Legal first?

Amanda? A private word with you in my office, please.

Hey, remember when I did this to your girlfriend in college without using supernatural powers?

Evan, you can go home for the day. Frank. You can die.

__________________

Oh, hey pal! I was just about to turn your girl and fuck her on Ted’s desk.

Sorry, hahaha, my desk.

Amanda. You need to focus on your job. HR is going to be swamped with all the new hires we’re going to need.

My management style is effective! And refreshing.

Evan. Do you remember what I said we sell here?

Yeah. That was bullshit. We sell fear.

Our customers are afraid. Afraid that life is passing them by, which to be fair, it is. And that is why you are perfect for this place, because you are a coward!

You were afraid to tell Amanda you love her because of why? Because you work together? Because she earns more than you?

You didn’t even have the balls to quit when this incompetent turd passed you over for the guy you hate most on the face of the earth. You are so afraid of life, haha, that you actually want to be sales manager in this shit hole!

We are trying to have a conversation!

And I’m not gonna change you. That’s right. I’m gonna keep you alive and stuck in this pathetic, pointless job from now until the day you die.

This suit is bespoke!

Sharing the desk with the photo printer whilst I stay young with the woman you love, immortal at my side!

Yeah. Yeah. That’s the way it works.

what i scripted in my modern stranger things DR

i smell vanilla and bacon when i know i’m in my DR/when i arrive

i’m social media famous/an influencer in my DR {look it’s always been my dream to be an influencer, so don’t judge me okay}

my dad is an NBA player and has been since 2003, and he plays for the Indiana Pacers, and my mom is just a stay at home mom

since my dad is in the NBA he makes a shit ton of money, so my family is extremely rich HAHA

that i make a lot of money doing social media

i have a four year old brother

scripted that my family and i moved to hawkins the summer before my 6th grade year, and that eddie and i were in the same grade, but i graduated in 2022 and he didn’t (obviously, he is in his third senior year currently like in the show)

i used to babysit the kids with nancy when they were really little, like when will and mike were 6 lol. i continued to babysit them with nancy until we both got really busy with school and other things, but we did it every now and then, and then steve took on the role (we love mama steve!! but we helped out too, but he kinda became the main one)

i scripted that nancy and i used to play DnD with the kids when were little, but then stopped once I got to high school and became super busy and nancy stopped when i stopped.

that the byers still live in hawkins and they never moved to california (and they don’t plan on it)

that hopper and joyce’s relationship is like it is in season 3 right now

that hopper looks like he does in season 3 in my DR {i know he clearly doesn’t look like that in season 4, but whenever i imagine hopper, it’s season 3 hopper}

that argyle moved to hawkins to live with his uncle for a fresh start his sophomore year (i said this because he told jonathan he was his only friend in season 4 and it made me so sad :( so i scripted that’s why he moved to hawkins for a fresh start)

that nancy, robin, jonathan, and argyle are all seniors and 18. steve is 19, and eddie is 20.

that starcourt mall is there, and it will never get burned down.

that steve and robin still work at scoops ahoy, because there are like no family videos anymore, and with it being 2024 and having all these streaming platforms there is no reason for a video rental store yk? i’m still debating if i want them to wear their sailor uniforms, or just script they wear a company shirt and still wear the hat, but they can wear jeans and stuff😭

that angela moved to hawkins for her dad’s job and goes to hawkins high so i can rip her ass a new one🤪 {i would like to see her TRY and get me arrested}

that my uncle is the hawkins high varsity basketball coach {i’m gonna introduce y’all to my family in my DR and it will make since once you see them lol}

i live in loch lora {aka the rich neighborhood in hawkins}

that hawkins will never be put in danger

that the upside down doesn’t exist, and it will never exist alongside none of the creatures and monsters from the upside down existing

following up on two things above, anything that has to do with the plot will not happen, because i’m not planning on shifting for the plot of the show, because that shit is honestly so scary, and i would be petrified

that argyle will work for another pizzeria since he is on the east coast and there is no surfer boys pizza

that i’m 5’7 {i’m really 5’4}

that i have my ideal body in my DR {disclaimer, it’s just a couple of things that i wish were different in my CR. like for example, i have a flatter stomach, but bigger boobs, and a bigger butt LOL. i’m working out so i’m in the process of getting my ideal body in my CR so i thought having it in my DR would be motivation when income back here. i know this topic can be controversial, but i just wanted to clarify}

i do not have a celebrity face claim, i’m just myself (no hate to anyone who does!)

i’m best friends with all my favorite influencers

that i moved to los angeles full time with my family after i graduated, and now we are back in hawkins because my dad’s NBA contract expired with the lakers and he got offered to come back to the pacers, so he took it, but i still travel back and forth a lot between the two.

that i have naturally straight hair {it’s have naturally curly, and it’s a pain in the ass}

that eddie and wayne live in a nicer, two bedroom trailer

that eddie works at a record/music shop in town, and that he also busses tables at the hideout. (and sells drugs like in the show for the extra cash) {the bussing tables comes from flight of icarus, but i scripted he gets paid for it unlike in the book. i also haven’t finished his book, but so far i have chosen what i want to believe is canon}

i will be making a intro to my DR family, and some of the stuff will make since for who they are if you have seen the show :)

i will also be making my part 3 to my DR bedroom today, so be on a lookout for that. sorry for that one being late, i went to the dentist again thursday for more fillings and i did not feel like posting afterwards. this is just a little filler, but i will make more post like this on what i have scripted, because that’s what did really well on my old shifting account on tiktok but i can’t get back into that :(

*i script on notion*

Question: My question for you guys is if you could take from any, your whole career -

Jared: Wow.

Question: any outfit, from any character, from any of your shows, not just Supernatural, what would it be and why?

Jared: I'll answer for him, and he can answer for me, but have you seen - because I was there with him for every effing day - lederhosen. [both nod]

Jensen: That's a good one, that was a good one.

Jared: Now you can answer for me.

Jensen: Uh the uh - [to audience shouting] What? No. I would say the white Lucifer suit.

Jared: [hits Jensen on the arm, very excitedly] I was gonna say that! I'll say this -

Jensen: I know you, buddy, I know you [holds out fist, Jared fistbumps]

Jared: And I will say this, I have it.

Jensen: You've got that one, I've got the uh -

Jared: Because who the fuck else can fit in a suit that was tailored to me? They're like we usually sell things after the show is over but [makes helpless gesture]-

Jensen: This is tailored for you.

Jared: You know, unless somebody in the NBA wants to buy the shit, here you go. So I have a storage unit that we shared for maybe - [to Jensen] Do you have anything there still? Whatever it was.

Jensen: [thinking face] I think I've got some stuff we took from the show in there. [laughs]

Jared: I'm like, where is that damn, uh-huh, and then I see Jensen wearing it. But, uh, yeah, I have some cool stuff in that unit, so I might have to -

Jensen: When we got back from when the show finished up, he got a storage unit, I was like, 'Hey, can I throw some stuff in there?' It was just all Supernatural shit.

Jared: It would have been like if there was a Supernatural fan on Storage Wars - it was like, season one crew gifts, season two crew gifts, every script, every t-shirt, all the outfits -

Jensen: Sconces from the Men of Letters bunker.

Jared: I- It was for me but , did you keep your sconces?

Jensen: Yeah.

Jared: Okay, so I also have -

Jensen: I used - fun fact for ya, I used those sconces in The Winchesters, in their little [?] spot - you can see that it's the same sconces from the Men of Letters.

Jared: I have one of the, um, I don't know what you call it, it's like an ashtray on a pedestal kind of thing and it had a little lighter? And I love it and I have a little outside area where I like to have cigars - I've probably had one in the last year, but I enjoy it. I don't have two hours to sit here. But one day when a big rain wind storm in Austin and the next day I went to go clean stuff up and it had fallen. And I was like [exaggerated outraged inhale, hand to chest] - didn't break.

Jensen: That thing's old as sins.

Jared: But it ain't the Losechesters, so. [audience groans]

This 👇 is interesting.

An alleged NBA FINAL Script has leaked and is going viral on Twitter.

I'm curious if this is how the deep state's NBA will end the season? Miami leads the Celtics 3 games to zero in the playoffs (I had to löök it up). If the Celtics are supposed to win they will win 4 games straight.

I have never been a pro sports fan of any sport. Colleges have also lost me because there is a lot of corruption there too.

We already know the NBA is corrupt. 🤔

actually the rating is very bad. As someone that is a ratings guru I can tell you the ins and outs of how ratings works for specific networks. You listed WWE Raw on the USA network that is cable my friend which is a whole different monster, also a sports telecast. 911 on the other hand is a procedural drama on one of the big 4 networks. The Big 4 consist of Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS. The Big 4 will cancel shows if they're not performing up to par and I think Fox is at the point with 911

Listen, dude (gn). You sent me five asks telling me things I already know about tv ratings saying I asked for it, which I absolutely did not, and trying to argue that Fox is disappointed and on the verge of cancelling 9-1-1, which is definitely not true.

As you can see here, 9-1-1 is at the top of the 2022-2023 average for FOX's scripted shows. Even adding in the non-scripted shows, it's doing quite well:

Reality tv is a big ratings draw, this is a well-known fact, but networks will not want to bind themselves to only one kind of show either.

Let's take a look at ratings over all networks:

Huh, would you look at that. Not too shabby by our little weewoo show! Note also the overall big dips in viewers year over year - this is not a problem isolated to 9-1-1, it's happening all across the board.

None of these ratings hold a candle to what news shows and stuff like MLB, NFL and NBA can draw for big games, but network execs are well aware of this, and trying to compare those are like comparing apples to oranges. But I did take a look at how the NBA game last Monday did on ESPN anyway: 0.59 in the key demo.

And I did compare it to RAW, for the simple reason that RAW also airs on Mondays at 8PM. We can compare it with the other big wrestling show too (as their ratings is a topic I'm more than familiar with), if you like: Smackdown on FOX on Fridays, latest numbers are a 0.63 rating, while nothing else on tv (not just cable or network, all of tv) was above 0.43.

Saying FOX is anywhere near cancelling 9-1-1 for their ratings is a ridiculous statement. Now, you are right in saying (in another of your messages) that procedural shows are at risk of the original actors wanting to move on and/or dragging out the story far longer than would be ideal, but I don't think we're at that point yet with 9-1-1. We'll know more come May when show renewals take place (and I think some of the main actors' contracts as well), but it's no use speculating about anyone leaving as there's been no indication of that yet.

Also no offense, but calling yourself a ratings guru is hilarious and makes you sound like a pro wrestling twitter user that whines in Bryan Alvarez's mentions every week when he posts the WWE and AEW ratings.

#for anyone confused by the numbers: i'm working on another post that goes into more detail regarding what the different ratings mean #and how they're measured; so that's coming #ask frida #anon #911 ratings

The Trust (2016)

Nicolas Cage is an actor that either fits a role or doesn’t. When he’s ill-suited for a part, he nosedives the entire film. At first, it looks as though that’s what he’s doing in The Trust. His character is given all these weird quirks you assume weren’t there in the script. As time goes on, you’ll see. Though this black comedy isn’t overtly funny most of the time, it’s got a couple of dark turns that do make you smile. You won’t know where things are headed until it’s too late.

Police Sergeant David Waters (Elijah Wood) and his boss/friend Lieutenant Jim Stone (Cage) work in the evidence department. They’re police officers but their job is a lot of paperwork and reporting to people who don’t take them seriously. When Jim discovers the location of a hidden vault containing large amounts of cash, he asks David to help him steal it.

This is a heist movie with a simple plan. All the officers-turned-thieves need to do is drill a hole in the door of the safe from above. Slip a camera down to the lock mechanism and it’ll be easy to figure out what the combination is. Unfortunately for them, operations such as this never go the way they should, which is where the fun begins. These two are not idiots but they aren't good criminals. They’re the equivalent of people who have never played basketball before jumping into the NBA because they’ve "practiced" by watching some post-game discussions. They’re friends and co-workers. They’re close enough to trust each other but not close enough to know how the other will react when something unexpected happens.

If Cage is the wild card in this story, then Elijah Wood is the audience’s avatar. Together, they balance things well. You sympathize with David. You even want him to get away with the money because the people they do belong to… they’re thugs. Getting rich off this operation would be a win for you too, in a way. I think we all dream of suddenly happening upon a large wad of unexpected cash and getting to enjoy it by following all the advice we’ve received from mystery novels. That’s what he’s doing. As for Jim, he’s kind of sad in a way that makes him endearing. Crime probably shouldn’t pay but maybe it could just this one time? You keep wanting to give him a break because despite the things he does that are bad or wrong, he actually kind of has a knack for this type of operation. Seeing someone do something well, it’s captivating.

The Trust is the kind of movie you’ll stumble upon and be pleasantly surprised by. The ending’s a killer, the chemistry between Cage and Wood is terrific. You’ve got some laughs, some thrills and plenty of unexpected developments. It doesn’t quite leap off the screen and demand to be seen so you won’t hear a lot of people talk about it. This just means you’ll have to discover it for yourself. (On Blu-ray, April 5, 2020)

The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L Walther

Fics

I’m a Fool for You by @berzerkshires

Written for 1D Astro Fic Fest with the prompt: The Fool: The Fool is a card of new beginnings, opportunities and potential. You're at the beginning of your new journey. You have to take the first step into the unknown and follow your heart. Now is a time when you need to trust where the Universe is taking you.

Harry is a successful, past MVP player in the NBA. When he gets news of his stepfather's passing in the middle of a game, he walks out of the game, threatening to never come back. He's not been true to himself for years, and it's going to take a stranger from his hometown to help him understand that being yourself is not as scary as he thought.

Cowgirl Take Me Away by @littleroverlouis

Louis has two great loves in her life: Harry and Harry's cowboy boots.

Dog Got Your Tongue? by seducedbycurls

Louis is a dog walker. || Person a spills coffee on person b when they trip AU

Truebonds by @jacaranda-bloom

Louis doesn't mind being an omega, most of the time. Modern medicine allows him to suppress almost all of his omega traits, but the one thing it can't suppress is his scenting cycle. Fortunately, that only needs to be dealt with every seven years and he counts himself lucky that he can afford the services of a reputable agency.With his cycle due, he reviews the matched candidates and there's one alpha who fits all of his criteria, S28A. That's pretty much where things start to unravel.

Enter Harry Styles, scenter for hire.Or the one where Louis is an omega in need, Harry is an alpha for hire, and destiny presents them with a fate they never saw coming.

Searching for a Paradise by wordssnotes // @quelsentiment

With a good career, a nice apartment and a kind boyfriend, it would be fair to say that Harry has it all figured out. But when her old friend Zayn comes back to London after years of travelling the world, Harry starts to doubt the life that she's built for herself.

Whispers In The Trees by hazzayoudoing

“Any chance you’ve got a mobile phone on you, Curly?” Louis asks.

Before he gets a chance to think about answering, he feels Louis’ hands begin to pat him down. Harry breathes in deeply and begs his body not to move, wills himself not to care that Louis has just reached into the small pocket of his ridiculous dressing gown and grabbed his mobile.

Louis dials 911 while Harry focuses on his breathing, his lips feeling a little numb. He needs to calm down. That girl is dead. He’s about 99% sure of it. He’s never seen a dead body before. He and Louis, they’re witnesses to a murder now. All he wanted tonight was to have a bake and to be able to fall asleep peacefully.

Or, an AU in which Louis and Harry witness a murder on the pristine campus of Wellington Academy, their posh boarding school. They band up with their friends and family members to attempt to solve the whole thing—since the murderer has decided to target them next. Featuring a healthy dose of sexual tension and falling in love, a turtle named Plimpton, the best picnic you’ve never been on, and the many, varied nicknames that Harry Styles is given from Niall Horan.

I Know I've Got This (because I've Had It All Along) by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed

Louis’ grip is delicate when she pinches the edge of the paper, brows furrowing as she reads the words that are written in an elegant loopy script. She glances at Liam once the words sink in, and he looks so happy and proud, so expectant. He’s on the edge of his seat, only Zayn’s hand on his shoulder holding him back, and Louis can feel something murky swirling in her stomach at the thought of having to feign appreciation.

Harry Styles

Body Positivity & Boudoir Photography

The card is purple, the letters printed on it in black, with an almost lace looking overlay over the words. There’s what might be a bow belonging to a cute pair of panties separating Harry’s name from the service they offer. It’s a cute card. It’s what’s on the other side that has Louis’ stomach in a knot. Good for one (1) photography session and up to thirty (30) photos of your choice.

Waiting On You by @alltheselights

“Vampires,” Louis says with disgust, glaring over at the vampire who is noisily slurping from the woman’s neck nearby.

Zayn gives the neat fang marks on Louis’ neck a meaningful look.

“Can’t live with them, can’t live without them,” Louis finishes, ignoring Zayn when he rolls his eyes.

Louis takes a long sip of his milkshake, presses his fingers against the marks on his neck, and definitely doesn’t think about the vampire who left them there.

But I Know I’m Better With You by @restless-rebels

I'm still a mess but you hold on Don't know just why you do But I know I'm better with you

Edible Stars by @solitudeandchaos

“You know what we should do?” Niall interrupts. “What?” “The BDSM test.” or they take a test and the results change things for Harry and Louis.

sundress in the sky by stretchmybones // @harryslonecurl

Harry and Louis go to their town’s annual festival. Shenanigans ensue.

Sugary Sweet by @neondiamond

Sometimes, all you need is a little sugar to get the day started.

Or Harry and Louis’ daughter knows exactly how to get what she wants, Harry is pregnant, and Louis is the best husband ever.

Caught In Between Love by Kikiberoski16

He kissed Harry’s lips, soft and fleeting. Louis didn’t waste any time and went down, kissing Harry’s neck, chest, abs and lower abdomen. Harry panted quietly, but he was sure he could come right away. He hasn’t been touched for such a long time that any physical contact was now feeling magnified.

“Can I have a kiss too?” Andrew whimpered in the background.

Or Harry had a crush on Andrew, his co-worker, for a few months, but when he meets Louis, the handsome BDSM club owner, everything changes.

Uh Oh It's Magic (When I'm With You) by @kingsofeverything

Everyone Dreams eventually, and everyone's Dream is different, but all Dreams have one thing in common: They send the Dreamer on a Quest to find their Magic.

It's been months since Louis started his Quest to live as a hermit in a cave in the middle of the woods and he’s not about to let some new guy disturb his hermitage.

Late Night Nesting by stretchmybones // @harryslonecurl

“Hurry up. I’m cuddle deprived.”

Louis climbed into bed, careful not to dislodge any part of the nest. Harry didn’t hesitate to cuddle right up to Louis’ bare chest. Harry stuck his nose right into the crook of Louis’ neck, where his bondmark lay. It wasn’t typical for alphas to have bondmarks along with their omegas, but Harry and Louis didn’t care to adhere to every tradition.

Monochrome Hearts by fallinglikethis

Louis Tomlinson is a 27-year-old that just wants to see the world in color after a lifetime of shades of grey. And, oh yeah, having his soulmate by his side would be nice too. Maybe that's even the most important part.

Harry Styles is a 25-year-old who loves hearing soulmate stories, never believing he'll have one of his own, and has never seen anything at all.

Which begs the question; when finding your soulmate brings color to the world, what happens when your soulmate is blind??

never just the heat of the summer by orchidsbyjune

“Hello there my darling, you look beautiful.” And this, this is what Harry lives for.

“You think so?”

“Always.“

- “A story about a bad day, a set of nail polishes, a good lover and whole identity packed in one.”

Close Our Eyes (Pretend We're Miles Away) by @haztobegood

Louis and Harry have been on the run for a day and a half now. It’s a hard situation to be in, and they’ve been trying to cope the best they can since their relaxing girls’ weekend at a rented cabin turned into a living nightmare.

Just forty eight hours ago, Harry never would have robbed a bank. Hell, she barely would have touched the gun she’d used in the robbery, let alone wave it around to threaten anyone. Forty eight hours ago, Louis hadn’t used that same gun to shoot a man.

Take the Middle Path by @uhoh-but-yeah-alright

Harry's desires are plentiful and complicated in a way that's always worried and confused him. Being with Louis and Zayn helps him explore the seemingly disparate aspects of who he is and what he wants, and to realize he doesn't have to choose just one.

can i bite your tongue like my bad habit? by dilfrry

“Did you know that birthday boys get cake?”

Harry smiles a toothy grin, the right side of his mouth curling up into a flash of deviance. “Are you gonna give it to me?” His eyes can’t help but travel down Louis’ body.

“My… cake?” Louis lightly laughs, pointing a finger to his chest, and leans up from his bent-over position on the table.

“Just a taste,” Harry wraps a hand around his almost empty glass of beer, “for the birthday boy?” He lifts it to take the last sip, downing the rest, and eyes Louis as he swallows.

as if life were invented for my love by daffodilsforlou // @polaroidlouis

He was such a cliché. A MILF thirsting for her pool boy.

this body by finelinegynandromorph

“I guess I’ve pegged myself, though—does that count?”

Nell and Suraiya lean their heads together to confer in exaggerated whispers while Harry tucks one leg behind the other, trying as hard as he can to not vividly imagine hot Louis Tomlinson from work stretched out with a dildo up his ass.

“The information about your self-pleasure is appreciated, but we’re defining pegging as something you receive from someone else,” Suraiya clarifies with an authoritative nod. Harry grins in Louis’ direction and Louis raises his hands in admission. “One day, I’d love to,” he says to a round of encouraging cheers from around the circle.

Harry tries not to choke on his beer when Louis winks at him from across the fire.

or, louis wants to be pegged. harry helps him out

it wouldn't be make-believe by docklands

It's been a few months since Harry left to focus on his career. Louis misses him every day, but especially tonight. Something is burning inside him, and what happens should come as a surprise, but it just fits them like a glove.

SMART BOMB

The Completely Unnecessary News Analysis

By Christopher Smart

May 30, 2024

SECOND COMING, COMING EARLY

OK Wilson, when Salt Lake City taxpayers pony up $1 billion what will they get for their money? It's a mystery — sort of. The Salt Lake City Council, considering raising all that dough in taxes, held a public hearing so Salt Lakers could weigh in on the new hit to their wallets. A lot of people trudged down to City Hall to put in their 2 cents even though they didn't know what they were commenting on. It's all about this thing called the “entertainment district” that doesn't exist yet — plans remain floating somewhere in the ether. Here's the deal, for this nebulous proposal the city would chip in about $1 billion and Jazz NBA owner Ryan Smith would put up $3 billion. The money would transform 100 acres around the Delta Center, Abravanel Hall and the Salt Lake Convention Center into something like the Eighth Wonder of the World. Call it Smithland. There would be basketball, NHL hockey, music, culture, art, taco stands and a bunch of cool stuff you can't even imagine. It's kinda like Christmas Come Early, or more accurately, the Second Coming Come Early. Imagine Salt Lake City transformed into the next Orlando, Fla. — sans Mickey, Goofy and the gang. City leaders are absolutely giddy — how often do you get to recreate the world in your own image.

SLURPING UP TRUTH, JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY

We know you're not ready for this, Wilson — Rudy Giuliani now has his own brand of coffee. Yep, “Rudy Coffee” is here. “When I put my name on something you can trust it,” he says in a new TV commercial. The ad dropped right after Giuliani pleaded not guilty in Arizona to charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election. When you buy Rudy Coffee you're not just getting great coffee, he says, “You're supporting our cause: Truth, justice and American democracy.” Yes Wilson, he really did say that. Rudy was one of the so-called “architects” of the plan to keep Trump in power after he lost the election. Architecture, needless to say, is not what it used to be. In December the one-time New York City mayor was ordered by a jury to pay $148 million in damages to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he defamed by saying they fraudulently counted votes for Biden. The pair received numerous death threats, among other things. Looks like Rudy is gonna have to sell a lot of that coffee. Giuliani also faces a dozen charges in the racketeering case brought by the Fulton County district attorney in Atlanta, Ga. So get your Rudy Coffee today. Buy lots and lots of it to save our American democracy and Rudy Giuliani's ass.

FAILED PLAN TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP

If you think Donald Trump's “hush money” trial was nasty with cringeworthy sex scenes involving the former president and a porn star, listen to this: President Joe Biden planned to knock off the Donald at Mar-A-Lago in August 2022 when the FBI searched the Florida property for classified documents. How do we know this to be true — because the right-wing echo chamber says so: “This was an attempted assassination,” said former Trump advisor and pundit Steve Bannon. “The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate President Trump and gave the green light.” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. “The Biden Administration authorized the use of deadly force at Mar-A-Lago,” said FOX talking head Sean Hannity. Well, not exactly. The FBI waited until Trump was in New York City before executing the search warrant. Beyond that the FBI's modus operandi forbids the use of force unless an agents life is in imminent danger. On the other hand, Trump's lawyers argued before the Supreme Court that he had complete immunity as president and should be allowed to assassinate his political rivals without repercussions. In Trump World up is down and down is up. Hey, did you hear the FBI tried to assassinate Trump. It's true, we heard it on FOX.

Post script — That'll do it for another gorgeous week here at Smart Bomb where we keep track of who's getting raises so you don't have to. Hey Wilson, did you hear that Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall is asking for a $44,000 annual raise. Whoa baby, that's raising some eyebrows around town. Forty four grand? Holy simoleons. Presently, Mayor Erin's salary is 168,000 a year or $14,000 a month. The raise would make it $212,000 a year or $17,666 per month. We know Wilson, that's more than the entire income of the Smart Bomb Band. But, you gotta admit she works a lot harder than you guys — plus, she has to dress up and sit through a lot of boring meetings. You guys could never do that. It's a special skill set. (Clever segue.) Recently the Presidential Greatness Project surveyed 154 historians and social science experts to rank all U.S. presidents. OK Wilson, guess who came in dead last. You got it, Donald Trump. Get this, he came in behind James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce and Warren Harding. As you may recall, Trump rated himself the greatest president ever ahead of Abe Lincoln. Imagine that. Editor's note: Not included in the survey were Stormy Daniels, E. Jean Carrol or Karen McDougal — but they probably wouldn't have helped him much.

Poor old Rudy Giuliani, he was a brave crime fighter against the mob, became America's mayor after 9/11 and then buddied up with Donald Trump, lost his soul and turned into a creepy, old crazy guy. How far the mighty have fallen. So hey Wilson, do you and the guys in the band have anything in your repertoire for this once-great pathetic fool:

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away Feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there. Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin' what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there. Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris I've followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there. I was born here and I'll die here against my will I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

(Not Dark Yet — Bob Dylan)

Image 1: This data visualization shows the percentage of sports fans, for each gender, that identify as avid fans, casual fans, or not a fan at all. I think there is more to this data. I believe based on the fact that the data shows that only 15% of women are avid sports fans, and 44% of men are avid sports fans may be causing women's sports to tend to gain less viewership than men's. I believe if more women were avid sports fans, women's sports may see more viewership in general. I believe many people have been lied to as to why WNBA players receive lower salaries than NBA players: Not as many people are watching their games, especially those of the same gender, therefore their is not as much viewership revenue.

Image 2: This image shows Trader Joe's use of fonts for their organic nuts and dried fruit products. They use a script font that somehow gives me a feeling that the food inside is organic/natural. They use the classic Trader Joe's serif font on top which gives the consumers a feeling of familiarity and allows them to use the messy script font below. All the freeze-dried fruit products, they give a vintage-looking image of the original fruit that's inside, which makes people want to eat it (hard to explain). All of these products have a rectangular sticker label with a border, ensuring consistency so consumers know what to expect.

Jake Paul enjoys a first-round knockout in return bout in Orlando

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Published: December 16, 2023

Jake Paul knocks out Andre August in the first-round

Orlando, Fla. - At the Caribe Royale Resort, the man people love to hate, Jake Paul (8-1, 5 KOs), returned to the squared circle in front of a sold-out crowd. The famous social media influencer entertained his loyal fans in attendance, dancing to the ring to Brenda Lee's 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree.' Right behind him, there was a giant robot humanoid waving to the crowd.

But this turned out to be just the appetizer as Paul delivered another stunning knockout inside the ring.

Paul's opponent, Andre August (10-2-1, 5 KOs), is a three-time Golden Gloves champion, and the Houston, Texas native is the second boxer Paul has faced. August wasn't a former mixed martial artist, fellow YouTube star, or a former NBA player. He has been a professional boxer since 2013. Although almost ten years older than Paul at 35, August was thought to be able to at least test the loquacious star's skillset, however long the fight lasted.

Unfortunately for August, but to the excitement of the crowd in attendance, Paul secured a highlight-reel first-round knockout. After a tense few minutes, filled with counter-punching and jab exchanges, Paul picked up on August's tendency to duck before throwing. A feint by Paul set up a right uppercut that firmly put August down for the count. No count was needed.

Paul's previous knockout came in December 2021 in a rematch with Tyron Woodley at the Amalie Arena in Tampa. Since then, he has gone the distance against the likes of Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tommy Fury. August was likely picked for a reason, and the victory shouldn't be overly celebrated. However, Paul is showing steady improvements with each outing, and a title opportunity could come sooner than later.

"Man, I don't know what I proved tonight," Paul expressed in the ring during the post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani. "I'm just gonna do me. This is all part of the process, the next step to world champion. And clearly these guys can't hang with me. He didn't even last [three] minutes. He's been doing this his whole entire life. So, what's next? It's gonna be even bigger."

Paul is one of the few fighters in the sport who is able to navigate the direction his career takes. His fights can be purely events or real showdowns that test where he lies within his respective division should he choose. With a majority of boxing's top fighters, including box office attractions and the pound-for-pound elite, fighting just once or twice a year at the most, Paul staying active is only to the benefit of the sport.

Franchon Crews-Dezurn wins the vacant WBC super middleweight championship

In the night’s co-main event, Shadasia Green (13-1, 11 KOs) battled former undisputed super middleweight champion Franchon Crews-Dezurnn (9-2, 2 KOs). The bout was for the vacant WBC super middleweight title. Green came out to wrestling legend The Undertaker’s theme music but did not fight with a sense of urgency. Crews-Dezurn used her championship-level experience to outwork Green in most of the rounds. The Baltimore native was an underdog against Green, who was considered the bigger puncher.

All three judges scored the fight for Crews-Dezurn with scores of 98-92 and 97-93 twice.

Regardless of a number of situations of infidelity from the NBA star, a lot of Koko's family members -- particularly Chris -- appear longing for the mom of two to rekindle her romance with Tristan. On the finish of final week's episode, Khloé requested Chris about his previous transgressions, and the episode ended earlier than Chris might reply. On this week's episode, Chris tries in charge it on his age. hulu "I feel being actually younger and dumb is one thing that performs into it since you do not actually perceive the implications of your actions," Kris tells Khloe.

Fifa 15 demo steam

My main focus on these titles is offline play either rebuilding a club or playing against my friends where I can remove any and all scripting with various mods. I've played online and haven't noticed a gigantic problem but it is there.

If the game wants you to play poorly in a match then poorly is how you will play.įair enough. But it's when these scripted incidents happen that just make you face palm. I'm not trying to say i don't enjoy as i do.a lot. It's something that's been in fifa for a while.Įdit. There just a few things, but you can youtube fifa scripting to see a whole bunch of things.ĮA have said there is no such thing as scripting in the game but people know different

Players sometimes outright refuse to tackle. A simple pass fumbles, the goal keeper will do stupid things like a pea rolling shot that is very slow, he dives along he floor and fumbles it. You can be a very good player but there are matches where no matter what you do.it ust goes wrong. You can even go out and buy Madden 08 or NHL 09 and mod it with graphics and gameplay enhancements with rosters from this current season. I preorder those games each and every year. There are entire websites dedicated to Fifa and NBA 2k modding. I have 300 hours in Fifa 15 on Origin and almost 500 in NBA 2k on SteamĪnd yeah going outside and kicking a ball around is just like playing professional football in the British Premier League or the Liga BBVA in a video game whole controlling the entire team and using and mixing up tactics to win the cup.Īll of the sports games on PC also have huge modding communities. There are so so many teams in Fifa to consider starting a career with. There is always a new team to rebuild and promote into a better league. Sports games have tons and tons of replay value. Sooo many times i se people sell this sports games after a few s like there is zero replay value, or reason to even keep it. better visuals, and sound, also keeps me in shape and The gameplay is outstanding! Both work perfectly.įIFA 15 Ultimate Team is an excellent sports game that, despite having a less-than-perfect simulator (even the graphics leave a bit to be desired), offers a very solid gaming experience overall.I´d just go out and play football. For the MS Windows, Play Station 2, Play Station 3, Windows phone and Macintosh Operating System this game is published by Electronic Arts on the 23 rd. You can select between the classical control system with virtual buttons or a control system adapted to touch screens based on pressing different areas of the screen. FIFA 15 showcases the best FIFA players from all around the world in the real settings that are taken into this football simulation video game that is a development of Electronics Arts Canada. The game system of FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is very similar to that of the previous installment. for a total of over 10,000 real players from more than 5,000 different teams. Either way, in the best packs you'll find some of the best players in the world: Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Suarez. To buy more card packs, you'll need to use the money you earn by winning games and tournaments in FIFA 15, though you can also use real money. In the beginning, you'll receive several packs of cards in which you will find players, contracts, coaches, training systems, and all the usual stuff from 'Ultimate Team' mode. With FIFA 15 Ultimate Team, you can put together the team of your dreams from scratch. FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is the annual installment of the FIFA series for Android devices, which, as usual, allows you to enjoy the 'Ultimate Team' game mode from your phone or tablet – and it's completely free.

🩵my family in my DR🩵

*little disclaimer, i scripted all of my family in my CR doesn’t exist in my DR because it just makes me feel weird, i don’t know how to explain it. i have a good relationship with my parents and family, but i just feel weird with them being in my DR*

my mom, haley lenz m/l/n

• she is 38, turning 39 soon

• stay at home mom

• 5’8

• had me at 18

• had my brother at 34

my dad, nathan royal m/l/n

• he is 39

• NBA player

• 6’4

• was 19 when i was born

• 34 when my brother was born

my little brother, james lucas m/l/n

• his nickname that everyone calls him, and that he goes by is jamie

• he is 4 years old

• he is in Pre-School at hawkins, starting late since i scripted that we moved back later in the year

• i was 16 when he was born, shortly turning 17 in the next three months

ISN’T HE PRECIOUS???🥹🥹

• my parents got married at 16 and 17 (juniors in high school)

• both went to UNC for school, and my dad played basketball there for a year, before shortly being drafted to the NBA.

• we lived in wilmington nc, until I was 11, having then moved to hawkins (like said in previous post)

• lived in hawkins from 2013-2022, and then we moved to los angeles, california after I graduated, now we are back in hawkins for my dad, as he is back on the Indiana Pacers (see previous post)

• i graduated hawkins high in 2022 (fun fact that is the year i did graduate in my CR)

for those of you who don’t know who these people are, they are Bethany Joy Lenz, James Lafferty, and Jackson Brundage who play Haley, Nathan, and Jamie Scott on One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill will forever be one of my comfort shows, and a show that means a lot to me. I actually got to meet Bethany and James twice at a convention, and it was something I will never forget. They were very kind, genuine people. I always loved Nathan and Haley, (Naley) and adored their relationship, and I wanted them to together. I never once felt jealous over Haley being with Nathan {which is shocking just because when you’re crushing over a fictional character, how can you not be jealous over their s/o lol} and i always called them my TV parents lol. they are set as my parents in all my DR’s, alongside Jamie being my brother. Jamie was their first born, but I made him the second because i’m the youngest sibling in my CR so i wanted to be the big sibling in my DR. Jamie was absolutely adorable in season 5 of One Tree Hill (he was supposed to be 4 turning 5) and i knew he had to be my brother and start off at 4. If you have seen the show, then you know them, and know Nathan and Haley’s story. Their troublesome times they had when they were first together and even later did not happen and are not going to happen in my DR. Some things will be how they are in the show, just some.🚨SPOLIERS ->{like Nathan in the NBA, them getting married at 16/17, them having me at 18/19 (they actually have Jamie, but i switched it to make since clearly LOL }. 🚨I highly recommend you watch the show, it’s one of the best in my opinion. It is on Hulu and Max, and has 9 seasons. it also has Chad Micheal Murray in the show (i have met him three times by the way), {and for you Supernatural and the Walking Dead fans} as well as Jeffery Dean Morgans wife, Hilarie Burton (i think she is in The Walking Dead too? don’t attack me if i don’t know i don’t watch it, SORRY) . which they play Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer, who are also my Aunt and Uncle in my DR(s). I won’t spoil anymore for those of you who haven’t seen it, and maybe want to watch. Who knows you might want to shift there after you watch it ;) But yeah, i won’t say to much more on my DR family, other than Lucas is the uncle who coaches at Hawkins High (see previous post) because like i said, i don’t want to spoil anymore. The characters were all in their 20s in seasons 5-9, so i had to make them look and be older than that obviously. so these are pictures of the actors, but they will be their characters. (if that makes since). i edited Bethany a bit, I added some more makeup, and made her hair longer and blonde because i’m blonde so I needed her to be blonde naturally lol. She changes her hair color a lot, but I couldn’t find one of her with blonde hair with the age that I was looking for, or that was a good photo.
