hi hi can i request a max verstappen x footballer smau but she plays for real madrid femenino and we know max is an fcb supporter (also for the sake of the smau, real madrid femenino can be just as good as barcelona femeni) and everyone going crazy when she just takes him to an award ceremony as her plus-one. no soft launch no hard launch and everyone including the grid and christian horner and madristas and everyone is shocked
MADRIDISTAS [MV1/33]
Max Verstappen x footballer!RealMadridFemenino!reader
Masterlist
Summary: Y/N is one of the biggest rising stars in women's football, playing for Real Madrid Femenino. When she's nominated by Women's Football Awards for the Player of the Year, the last thing anybody would expect is her plus one to the ceremony being Formula One driver, Max Verstappen. Not only is he the World Champion himself, but most importantly, Max is a known FC Barcelona fan. Talk about making friends with the enemy...
Warnings: I have very limited knowledge of football, so everything in this story is based on my quick research. If you're a fan, please don't come for me! Though any advice would be much appreciated, because I have more football requests in my inbox XD.
Author's Note: Hi Anon, thanks for the request! I have to say it was quite challenging for me at the start, because I don't know many things about football, but at the end it turned out fun and good. Hope you like what I did with this social media au! :)

The Silvio Cinematic Universe
An independent film about an Adult Film Star trying to reconnect with his little brother after the death of their father. No one believes he learned to cry on command only hours before filming the infamous hotel lobby scene. The reviews are mixed; critics panned it for its overly-linear narrative but audiences loved it and to this day filmtube continues to dissect the surreal, hallucinatory sequences during the second act. A little-known fact is that Silvio initially auditioned to play the younger brother, but the director felt he lacked the naive boyishness to pull the role off. No, that wasn't actually Silvio's butt in those shots.
A three-part limited series about a disgraced soccer player who believes he was abducted by aliens. The project was in development hell for twenty years, but it somehow managed to pull off its ridiculous premise to critical acclaim. The show continues to enjoy a healthy meme culture and cult following. Every few months or so a reddit thread pops up debating whether the show was dark comedy or an art-house psych-thriller. No one remembers that Silvio played the alien.
A low-budget indie film that follows a divorced single-father as he fixes up his house after it becomes the target of neighborhood vandalism. The entire two-and-half-hour runtime was shot entirely in one take; a fact that Silvio never tires of being asked about during interviews because he never tires of complaining. He's damn proud of it though. Fans theorize the movie is an allegory for climate change, but the director insists leaving all interpretations up to the audience. Silvio claims he was too mentally drained by the end to even register what words were coming out of his mouth. The film only made a few million at the box office, but it still made profit. Silvio later sued for unfair compensation.
Notes- Inspired by something batteryrose once said about how entertaining it is to throw silvio into the bottom of the pit and see him struggle - I wasn't sure whether to include this as an entry for Different Universe Same Love 2, for the celebrity au prompt, since it's technically inspired by that but without any romance. I'll tag @xxsycamore and @queengiuliettafirstlady anyway and you guys can decide if you want to count it or not. I don't mind either way.

TCAW Day 1 - The Early Years
Tumblr media
My headcanon for Tobias's early years below break.
If you'd like to create a template like this, you can find one I created here.
Birth to age seven (The only-child years):
Tobias was born into two different worlds. His father's family was a prominent, very wealthy family; their name alone opened doors. Whereas his mother's hardworking family struggled to get by. Vivian's grandfather was a pastor in a local church, so their family was well revered.
His father was a renowned physician and medical educator. Vivian went to school to be a nurse, but her true love was the arts. After she and Charles were married, she left nursing. She ran a non-profit that she and Charles created that expanded science and art education in disadvantaged schools. This grew to include internships, mentoring, and scholarship programs. Vivian was also an artist and became a curator later in life.
Tobias's parents were madly in love. So much so that, sometimes, he felt left out. They loved him very much, but work and social obligations often took them away from home.
Some relatives on his father's side loved and accepted him (notably his Uncle William), but the rest did not. They disapproved of Charles marrying someone of another race and socio-economic background, and they were not terribly welcoming of Tobias either.
Vivian's family also has misgivings about the union, but when the couple eloped, they welcomed Charles into the family. They adored Tobias right from the start.
Tobia's closest friend was, Kerry Chadwick. The daughter of a family friend, and also from an upper-crust family. She was, and remains, one of his closest friends. Tobias considers her family.
His favorite activities were reading and arts and crafts. He loved spending time with his cousins at his maternal grandparent's home. He also attended Sunday School and summer camp at the family's church.
His parents had another child when he was seven. He was excited but underwhelmed when Jordan was born. He expected an instant playmate, but instead, it was just one more thing that took his parent's already limited time away from him.
Childhood and Tween Years:
Tobias attended Sidwell-Friends School, an elite private school.
He was an excellent student. Naturally intelligent, he didn't have to put much effort into maintaining top grades.
His academic acumen and family name made him a favorite among the faculty. Whereas his affable manner and sense of humor made him a hit among his classmates.
Tobias learned how to move in his father's world very early, but with a certain degree of disdain. He preferred being with his maternal family.
He and Jordan had a good relationship, and Tobias was very protective of him, but the age difference got in the way of them being exceptionally close until they were much older.
He loved sports, particularly basketball, and soccer. He played on a few teams at school but preferred playing for fun with his friends/cousins. He also loved music. He didn't play instruments but had a beautiful singing voice and sang in the choir at his family's church until he started high school.
During this time, he began having internal struggles trying to co-exist in two worlds. He was close to his maternal cousins, but their vastly different circumstances created a wedge... not of Tobias's doing. His grandparents worked to bridge the divide, and the cousins maintained a relationship, but damage was done.
High School and College:
Tobias finished high school at Sidewell-Friends. He was extremely popular and known for having a mischievous streak. He graduated near the top of his class.
His lady's man rep started in high school, although it wasn't fully deserved at the time. He didn't date many people, but he was an audacious flirt, and everyone wanted him. He and Kerry (his best friend) dated for a year but decided they were better off as friends.
Tobias was accepted to every college he applied to, including some of the best in the nation. He had decided he wanted to attend an HBCU (historically black colleges & universities) and chose Howard University.
His father, who wanted him to attend an Ivy, was not pleased. Even before this, Tobias was having some conflicts with his father. He didn't feel his father minimized the struggles that he, Vivian, and Jordan faced as black Americans, and he didn't think he had done enough to protect them from his often racist family growing up. While his father's choice in colleges stemmed from a place of wanting "the best" for his son, his failure to understand why it was so important for Tobias to attend Howard only widened the chasm between them.
Howard is in DC, but he lived on campus and avoided his father as much as possible during those four years.
Jordan did not share Tobias's sentiments, and this caused friction between the brothers. The situation was extremely distressing to Vivian, and she attempted to mediate but without much success.
While his family life was at a low, Tobias loved college and reveled in the college experience. He loved a party and was usually the life of it.
In college, he earned the lady's man rep. He did date his college girlfriend, Kiara, for a year and a half, but it was tumultuous. He never cheated on her. He was often perilously close. One day, Kiarra had enough and broke up with him. After that, he refused to date anyone seriously until he was set in his career. He had a blast playing the field.
He chose biochemistry as a major and graduated Summa Cun Laude. Again, his studies came easy to him, but college required a bit more attentiveness than high school had before.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The truth will out
Tumblr media
→ GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: Christopher "Topher" Silverman
Date of birth: April 13th, 2000
Age: 23
Gender & Pronouns: Cis man, he/him
Hometown: Mercer Hollow
Occupation: College student studying criminal justice, part time bookstore clerk, local true crime podcaster
Faceclaim: Colin Ford
→ SUMMARY
Topher grew up an only child with an average family in Mercer Hollow. While he didn't necessarily want for anything, his parents also weren't overly wealthy and couldn't necessarily provide him with the highest tech gear and newest devices. While there were times he was envious of his classmates showing off the latest iPhones and gadgets he couldn't afford, overall he looks back on his childhood rather fondly. His parents were always on the sidelines rooting for him during his soccer games, encouraging him when he brought home a less than stellar grade (and by Topher's standards, a 'less than stellar grade' was a B+), and supporting his quiet, quirky, geeky personality.
One couldn't grow up in Mercer Hollow without knowing some of the darker themes in it's history. The Mercer family, the namesake of the town, was well known - and Topher even had one of the Mercer decedents sitting alongside him in his childhood classrooms. While he didn't care much for all dramatics and prestige around the Mercer name, there was one thing that had captivated his attention ever since he'd first heard stories about it. Charity Mercer's death, a case long gone cold. The more he started to dig, the more he wanted answers.
Topher's podcasting career (if you can call it that), started mostly as a way for him to get his thoughts in order about the Charity Mercer case. He didn't really think people would be interested in listening to it - and frankly, he didn't really care one way or the other if they did or not. But he put it out there on the internet, should someone find it interesting to listen to, and to this day occasionally looks back at the project and continues to be that annoying prick constantly asking questions about the events surrounding the mysterious death.
The podcast has branched out somewhat from Charity's case, seeing as the cold case wasn't instantly going to be solved by a high school student that had gone cold half a century ago, to include discussions on well known murders around the United States or other local happenings in Mercer Hollow. Or, hell, whatever the fuck Topher feels like discussing at the time.
When it came time for college and decisions on what he was going to major in, it seemed like a no-brainer when he enrolled in the criminal justice program. Maybe there hadn't been someone there who could put the pieces together for Charity, but perhaps he could make a real difference in the inevitable future cases of Mercer Hollow?
→ HEADCANONS
Topher is a self identified nerd in a multitude of ways. He loves to sit down with a good book for hours, scroll through the internet rabbit holes, and play a variety of video and board games - and could talk about each topic endlessly with the right people. He's taught himself computer code for loads of pet projects including but not limited to things related to his podcast.
With strangers, Topher tends to come off as quiet and aloof - he's not all around talkative and friendly with just anyone right out the gate. But with those he's closer with or on topics he's invested in, he can talk a person's ear off no problem. He's also not afraid to ask the hard questions; he doesn't really care one way or the other how people think of him, so he doesn't have much to lose.
He didn't really know Hope particularly well. He knew who she was and had seen her a few times here and there, probably exchanged a couple conversations, but nothing particularly in depth. Just a friend's sister.

Am I posting a stupid amount today ? Yes ! And I will not stop ! I like getting my thoughts out ! This is gonna be a long one, and might not be 100% accurate, but buckle up and strap in because this has been in my head.
Anyways, I thought about this pretty hard, but for some reason when I think “Matsukaze Tenma”, I think of the Winnie the Pooh quote; “You’re Stronger than you Seem, You’re Braver than you Believe, and You’re Smart than you Think”, and I’d like to give my thoughts on why I think this is, by going over each statement. Also ! I will be focusing on the ANIME ! I have not played the game !
“You’re Stronger thank you Seem”
From what I vaguely remember , as it’s been a while since I watched it , Go Chrono Stone and near the End of Go S1 is when Tenma became Captain, and then questioned his abilities AS Captain. I’d like to point out that in Go Chrono Stone, there was (technically) 3 captains on that team, excluding Tenma. These being Shindou, former Raimon Captain, Taiyou, Arakumo’s Captain, and (technically), Tsurugi, who was the captain of that Fifth Sector team at the very beginning (he doesn’t quite count tho, which is why I said technically.). We can also include Fei in this lineup, but he hadn’t been a “captain” at this time, so I am not going to. Anyways,
Shindou, A tactics man who controls his team like a conductor does his orchestra. He’s organised, he knows what he’s doing, and his coordination is nothing short of S tier. Taiyou, the Genius who comes once in a Decade. He’s strong willed, he’s passionate, all despite being ill enough to be hospital bound since a young age.
Tenma wasn’t particularly any of these qualities when he was first made captain. He wasn’t quite as exceptional at soccer; the most he could do really well was dribble. He wasn’t an expert tactician, he was in no way “organised”, and he struggled a lot to become a good captain, doubting himself a LOT. This is seen when he goes to Shindou in the hospital about how he can’t be captain, or when he seems to doubt himself when they travel to King Arthur’s Era in CS, when their Time Machine has its little hiccup, and Taiyou and Shindou are the ones to make sure everyone is calm. Not Tenma.
It’s also stated in Galaxy that Tenma being captain was something of an Unspoken Agreement, despite it meaning to be only temporary, and that he had been holding himself back for the sake of his teammates. He was holding himself back. He could have been so much more, but he held himself back and limited himself until someone told him off for it. The guy that’s been telling people to give it their all, has not technically been giving it his all. But that didn’t matter to his two longest teammate, and his closest friends; Tsurugi and Shindou, who merely agreed that they’d have to work harder to catch up.
“You’re Braver than you Believe”
Tenma kicked off the revolution, in a way. Albeit by accident, his passion , love, and sheer enjoyment of free soccer, HIS soccer, drove him to go against Fifth sector, an organisation that seems to have been around for a few years at that point that most people FEARED and wouldn’t dream of going against. But Tenma did. Despite everything, his teammates initial dislike of him and distaste towards the revolution, the fact that Fifth Sector was SO much stronger than him, Matsukaze Tenma went against them for the sake of his Soccer. For Free soccer.
Even when things were difficult; when there was little to no cooperation, when schools were getting DESTROYED by fifth sector in an attempt to guilt trip the rebels, he pushed forward. Albeit with a push from his teammates, (namely Shindou; who checked on him after the news of the school destructions was brought to their attention, and when he found out Ishido Shuuji, the Holy Emperor at the time, was his saviour from 10 Years ago and that Fifth Sector destroying schools was indirectly his fault,) he persisted, and ultimately won.
In CS, the whole fate of soccer, of his friends lives, those were on HIS shoulders. His own future was even at the mercy of Protocol Omega and El Dorado. When they tried to change his reality, the accident of Tsurugi and Yuuichi, the making of Raimon’s soccer team as a whole, those were on Tenma’s shoulders most of the time. And all of it happened while he was in Okinawa. All of it happened when he wasn’t even there. He came home to his friends not knowing who he was, save for Aoi, who he’d known since childhood.
And even still despite the fate of soccer and their reality being in their hands, he fought. He travelled through time, made friends with people from almost a dozen time periods, and reclaimed his future, despite every hardship. If that isn’t some form of bravery, then I’m not sure I know what is. (Mild exaggeration maybe)
ALSO, HE WENT UP AGAINST LITERAL ALIENS AND A BLACK HOLE THAT WOULD HAVE WIPED OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE !! He fought in the Grand Celesta Galaxy practically against his will, had his “super best friend” (as stated by Sakura), taken from him for a seemingly large amount of time without his knowledge ??? Only to then PLAY AGAINST SAID FRIEND IN WHAT THEY THOUGHT TO BE THE FINALS (I think ?? I haven’t watched Galaxy in a minute so take that last part with a grain of salt !!)
“You’re Smarter than you Think”
Tenma strikes me as a character who doesn’t often Look before he Leaps. He’s an “everything will work out” kind of guy similar to Endou, but in a very different way. He puts his trust into Soccer. He trusts that Soccer will help him and give him strength. He puts his trusts in his team, who he’s sure will reciprocate and respond to his trust. He trusts in others, and that’s an amazing quality. That he can trust people so wholeheartedly. He trusted Tsurugi, he believed Tsurugi had good in him, that he could be redeemed, and trusted him in their game against Teikoku. He trusted Fei, even despite him turning on them. He trusted his teammates of the Earth Eleven, because he was their captain.
I can’t think much of this line right now , but I do think about it much more than I thought I would, but I genuinely love both this quote, and Tenma. I feel like it just fits him perfectly. He’s so much more than just a guy who REALLY likes soccer, and I think it’s amazing. I love Tenma as a character, I relate to him heavily so there’s a chance I’m being incredibly biased, but I cannot fathom enough how dear he is to me, and how much I see myself in him in so, so many ways. That, however, is for a different post entirely.
I’m not sure what else to say at this point other than I’m a really big nerd, and a very big enjoyer of Matsukaze Tenma, so this will be Maki, Signing off ! 🌻💜

modern career paths for my asoiaf muses:
i play the targaryens as a family that originated in norway but ended up in the usa. the lannisters are from england. default city setting is los angeles, california. syrax, drogon, tessarion, anoghul, viserion, vhagar, rhaegal, and vhagar are all animals owned in this verse.
rhaenyra: fashion designer of both women and men’s clothing. literally has dabbled in suits, gowns, wedding dresses, lingerie, and she has her own makeup line. heir to targaryen industries but honestly would rather not abandon her fashion empire. PLOT TWIST. she ends up marrying harwin. uses she / they pronouns.
aemond: he’s a first year pre med student studying to be a doctor. he is also double majoring in psychology. his eye injury will NOT stop him from pursuing his career. he just really wants to be a doctor cause medical science fascinates him. he has too many skills for one person to have. he’s also an athlete on the lacrosse and soccer teams. he’s heavily into student politics too. lost his eye in an accident when he was ten. aemond does it all to make up for being disabled.
aemma: future vet tech major. still in high school. volunteers at a family owned no kill shelter. she really loves animals and she wants to eventually work as a zoo animal vet. she is on the swim team like jace. last name is strong in this au.
jace: he’s really into computers and technology and he can hack things. so he’s going to want to work with computers. he can build one and take it apart before putting it back together again. so he will be able to work in the family tech company as well. also still in high school. he’s student athlete on the swim and track teams despite his scoliosis. last name is strong because nyra marries harwin.
dany: ballet dancer. she the third born daughter and she usually is allowed to do what she wants within limits. dancing is her passion and has been since she was a child. right now she works for and dances for a ballet company. she gets the lead roles in all of the performances. ballet isn’t the only dance she specializes in. she knows others as well but ballet is what she’s most passionate about. she’s also an ice skater but she doesn’t do that competitively anymore due to her thriving ballet career.
jaime: army veteran who was honorably discharged after losing his hand in combat. has all kinds of awards. he was an army ranger to be specific. went back to school to get a degree in law later in life than one should get a law degree but he got one easily due to his intellect . works at his family law firm as an associate.
daeron: aspiring concert violinist. plays multiple instruments including the guitar and piano. music is his life. art is also his life but he’s more set on being a musician than being a painter. still in high school like aemma and jace. will pursue a bachelor in music.
anari: freshman in college. getting a bachelor in music. is a rising pop star who has her first album out along with some unaffiliated covers and singles. has won three grammys and several other awards for her first album. is best friends with helaena targaryen like she is in her hotd era. youngest of four and has three older brothers. given how successful she already is as a musician, she is making a name for herself and her parents are quite proud of her. writing her second album while attending university classes. small but fighty still.
all of them, even jaime and anari, are rich. though the targaryens have more influence, net worth, power, and their money is older. hope this helps.

Stories without Heroes
Reading "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction" by Ursula K. Le Guin, I had quite an enlightenment. In short, Le Guin puts forward a theory in which the central part of a story doesn't concern a hero that often recurs to violence to accomplish something and be considered a saviour. A killer story. Now the story becomes a carrier, a bag holding meanings. No heroism is involved because being human doesn't mean being a hero: it's about relationships, what we do and feel, and how we relate to each other. To be human, you no longer have to feel like you want to be a killer.
Since I was little, my mind completely missed the aggressive part of what being a "man" seemed to mean in the culture I was living in. It was always about the hero, which when I was a child meant being a soccer player or an actor, and often the actor played roles where he was "cool and badass". I wasn't like that, but for years I wanted to: I even dreamt about being a hero, saving and being loved by girls. The whole package. I liked what I wasn't cause I wanted to feel accepted by others and myself.
Now, in retrospect, it makes sense that I consider myself non-binary: I don't fit into the gender role of a man. Being born as one, though, estranged me from my peers. This hero perspective, the fact that you have to be aggressive to be human, not only involves women but everyone who doesn't fit into a specific "man" category. The "Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction" could relieve a lot of people, which often are the ones already with problems about their identity or not being treated equally by society.
We should change the meaning of what a story is because our lives, dreams, and hopes are based on them. Making them more inclusive makes our world more inclusive, and we should aim at that.
Edit: I've watched a couple of youtube videos on the manosphere*, and they introduced many concepts around man's role in our society that intersect interestingly with this post. A significant factor that F.D Signifier, the author of those videos, points out is the presence of a certain kind of cultural hegemony in the world that we live in: hegemonic masculinity. Coined by Raewyn Connel in 1987, the term describes "a set of values, established by men in power that functions to include and exclude, and to organize society in gender unequal ways. It combines several features: a hierarchy of masculinities, differential access among men to power (over women and other men), and the interplay between men's identity, men's ideals, interactions, power, and patriarchy." [1] The values differ from culture to culture, but I think that, through globalization, the hero that Le Guin talks about is a product of this hegemony. What I didn't have, and these heroes had, are the values of masculinity, which are often enforced on female and queer protagonists.
To change the meaning of what a story is, we need to change the cultural hegemony surrounding it; we need to start by changing the masculine hegemony that has historically defined the hero.
*: to the lucky uninitiated, the manosphere is, as defined by Wikipedia, "a collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting (to varying degrees) masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism." What makes it interesting is this cultural phenomenon's prevalence on the internet. For example, the Urban Dictionary defines it differently: "A group of websites made for men to discuss men's interests and issues without women nagging them." There are other definitions on the side of Wikipedia, but they have many dislikes. This proves the pride people in that community feel about themselves and their numbers online.

If you're a sports enthusiast, you've likely come across a variety of phrases and terms that seem to have no connection to the game at hand. One such phrase is "knick knack paddy whack." This seemingly nonsensical phrase has a rich history and a surprising connection to sports culture. In this article, we'll explore the origins of the term, its meaning, and how it relates to the world of sports. The Origins of "Knick Knack Paddy Whack" The phrase "knick knack paddy whack" originates from an old English nursery rhyme called "This Old Man." The full line goes, "This old man, he played one, he played knick knack on my thumb," with the phrase "knick knack paddy whack" being repeated throughout the song. The term "knick knack" refers to a trinket or a small item of little value. The "paddy whack" part of the phrase is a bit more obscure, but it's generally thought to refer to a hard slap or hit. The Connection to Sports So, how does this phrase connect to sports? It's all about the energy, rhythm, and competitive spirit that both the rhyme and sports share. Just as the "old man" in the rhyme keeps playing "knick knack" despite the challenges, athletes keep pushing their limits, playing their game with determination and grit. For example, in basketball, players must continuously adapt, making quick decisions and executing complex plays. This can be seen in the New York Knicks, a team known for their tenacity and dynamic gameplay. The Knicks' ability to "play knick knack," or adapt and react quickly, is a key part of their strategy. Basketball isn't the only sport where this concept applies. In soccer, players must also think on their feet, making split-second decisions that can change the course of the game. The UEFA Champions League, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, showcases this skill at its highest level. The Phrase in Modern Culture "Knick knack paddy whack" has also found its way into modern culture, particularly in music and entertainment. It's used in songs, movies, and TV shows to add rhythm and rhyme, much like in sports commentary. In sports media, phrases like "knick knack paddy whack" add a layer of excitement and rhythm to the commentary. They capture the dynamic, fast-paced nature of the games we love, from the high-stakes world of NBA playoffs to the strategic complexity of NFL games. The Knicks: A Paddy Whack of Sports History The New York Knicks, also known as the Knicks, have a rich history that intertwines with the evolution of basketball. The team's journey, filled with ups and downs, is a testament to their resilience and passion for the game. This journey is akin to the rhythmic cadence of the old nursery rhyme "knick knack paddy whack," where each verse adds a new layer to the story. The Knicks and Their Knick Knacks The Knicks have had their fair share of knick knacks or memorable moments. One such moment was when they drafted Patrick Ewing, a move that would shape the franchise for years to come. Ewing's presence on the court was a game-changer, and his contributions to the team are still celebrated today. "Patrick Ewing was a force to be reckoned with. His dominance on the court was a sight to behold, and his leadership was instrumental in the Knicks' success during his tenure." The Knicks' knick knacks also include their championship wins. The team has had two NBA championships, with their victories in 1970 and 1973 still etched in the minds of their fans. These wins were not just victories; they were a testament to the team's hard work, determination, and skill. The Knicks' Paddy Whack The term "paddy whack" in the context of the Knicks refers to the team's ability to bounce back from challenges. Just like the old man in the nursery rhyme who played knick knack on various objects, the Knicks have shown their ability to adapt and perform under different circumstances. For instance, despite facing a series of losses, the Knicks have always managed to bounce back and give their fans something to cheer about.
Whether it's a winning streak or a standout performance from a player, the Knicks have a knack for turning things around. The Knicks' Home Court The Knicks' home court, Madison Square Garden, is a testament to their legacy. Known as "The World's Most Famous Arena," it's where the Knicks play their home games. This iconic venue has witnessed some of the most memorable moments in sports history, including the Knicks' championship wins. "Madison Square Garden is more than just a venue; it's a symbol of the Knicks' rich history and their commitment to their fans." The Knicks' Ownership The Knicks are owned by the Madison Square Garden Company, headed by James Dolan. Despite facing criticism over the years, the ownership has remained committed to the team and its success. The Knicks' Future The future of the Knicks looks promising. With a talented roster and a dedicated coaching staff, the team is poised to make a strong impact in the coming seasons. As they continue to play their knick knack paddy whack, the Knicks are sure to add more memorable moments to their rich history. The Knicks Today: Playing the Game of Knick Knack Paddy Whack As we delve into the current state of the Knicks, we see a team that's continuously evolving, adapting, and striving for greatness. The Knicks today are a blend of seasoned veterans and promising young talent, all playing their own version of knick knack paddy whack. The Knicks' Current Season The Knicks' current season is shaping up to be an exciting one. With a balanced roster and a strategic game plan, the team is making strides in the right direction. The players are showing great chemistry on the court, and their performances are a testament to their hard work and dedication. "The Knicks' current season is a testament to their resilience. Despite the challenges, they continue to push forward and give their best on the court." The Knicks' Key Players The Knicks' roster is filled with talented players who each bring something unique to the table. Some of the key players to watch out for include: Julius Randle: Randle has been a standout player for the Knicks. His ability to score, rebound, and assist has made him a crucial part of the team's success. RJ Barrett: Barrett's growth as a player has been impressive. His scoring ability and basketball IQ make him a threat on the court. Immanuel Quickley: Quickley's speed and shooting ability have made him a fan favorite. His energy off the bench is a valuable asset to the team. Watching the Knicks Live If you're a fan of the Knicks and want to catch their games live, there are several ways to do so. You can watch their games on local and national television networks, or you can stream them online. For a more immersive experience, consider attending a game at Madison Square Garden. There's nothing quite like the energy and excitement of watching a Knicks game live. "Watching the Knicks live is an experience like no other. The energy of the crowd, the sound of the ball hitting the court, and the thrill of the game are all part of the magic of Knicks basketball." The Knicks' Legacy The Knicks' legacy is one of resilience, passion, and a love for the game. As they continue to play their game of knick knack paddy whack, they're adding new chapters to their rich history. Whether they're facing a tough opponent or celebrating a victory, the Knicks always give their fans something to cheer about. "The Knicks' legacy is a testament to their passion for the game. They've faced challenges, celebrated victories, and through it all, they've remained committed to their fans and the sport of basketball." As we wrap up our journey through the Knicks' history, current state, and future prospects, we're left with a sense of anticipation for what's to come. The Knicks are more than just a basketball team; they're a symbol of resilience, a beacon of hope, and a source of pride for their fans.
As they continue to play their knick knack paddy whack, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this iconic team. #SportyConnect

Loving and losing a friend
Recommendation: Death Cup by Mom Jeans
How do we make friends? This question seems to be more pertinent and prevalent now, meaning my time in college and with my eyes towards the future, among myself and my peers. In our pre-college years, at least in my experience, friends were never too hard to come by. These relationships were formed mostly out of circumstance or coincidence. For example, if I had a few classes with someone every day for years and played on the same soccer team with that same person a few times a week for years, chances are we would become friends (provided this other person was generally nice to be around). 
I’ve formed some friendships in college in the same way. While I was studying abroad, the group of 12 strangers (including myself) were thrown into a completely new country with the only familiarity being that we were all college students studying in this program. The proximity and consistency of our daily lives brought us closer together; we had so much in common because we literally spent so much of our time doing the same things.
The formation of friendships through proximity and circumstance can be applied to My Own Private Idaho (dir. Gus Van Sant, 1991), which Mike and Scott’s relationship as the pair of men travel through America towards Idaho and eventually into Italy. The circumstances that bring Mike and Scott together on multiple occasions is their shared work as hustlers. This consistency allows for their friendship to take shape. 
However, Mike and Scott do not remain friends throughout the entire film. Their eventual estrangement calls the initial strength of their friendship into question. Aristotle claimed that there are three forms of friendship: the useful, the pleasant, and the good, with the good being the strongest of the three. This type is said to build itself around both shared interests, ideas, and qualities of character. Throughout much of the film, Mike appears to see Scott as a good friend while Scott may only experience the useful and pleasant through Mike. The scene where the two men sit around the fire exemplifies both the strength and mutual understanding present within their friendship while also planting the first seed for the dissolution of this relationship. Mike’s confession of love to Scott reveals a sort of love that expands from philia into eros. Scott does not reciprocate Mike’s desires, but he is not apathetic towards Mike; the personal honesty expressed by Scott proves his friendship with Mike. Nonetheless, Mike’s love for Scott remains unfulfilled and Scott’s reminder that he only sleeps with men for money pushes Mike to understand that friendship is the limit of their relationship, but this too will fail.
A friendship is easier to maintain than a romantic relationship. We still have expectations for our friends and there is a sort of effort required to maintain them, but a good friendship can exist without the physical and deeper emotional connections that drive successful romantic relationships. When romantic desire is introduced to a friendship, especially when it is unrequited, the friendship is fundamentally changed. For the one feeling this love towards their friend, there is more at stake, emotionally, than potentially losing a friend. 
Tumblr media
How do we lose friends? For Mike and Scott, their friendship did not end abruptly, even if it may have seemed this way. Watching their relationship over a two-hour period may give the impression that Scott’s father’s death and Scott’s inheritance was a sudden change and betrayal of his friendship with Mike. However, their relationship faded away gradually until there was the sudden realization that the friendship was over. It began with Mike’s confession of love by the fire, it continued with Scott’s relationship with Carmela, and it solidified with Scott’s inheritance. 
We usually do not lose friends when they add something or someone to their lives (for example, Scott’s attraction towards Carmela). Especially if these friends are defined by the Aristotelian “good friends,” enjoying the ideas and characteristics of the other should not be altered by the other gaining love in another, or any, form. Since Mike also feels romantic love towards Scott, their relationship is changed by Carmela’s presence: Scott has essentially, although not purposely or knowingly, told Mike that he can desire someone but he does not desire Mike. 
Tumblr media
My Own Private Idaho does not recover Mike and Scott’s friendship (unless the final scene is to be interpreted as Scott picking up Mike). It shows love and loss, but it leaves open the question of if and how a friendship can be regained. 
As Julia Annas explains in her writing, Plato believed that the “good” people share qualities that draw them together and spark their continued friendships, while the “bad” can never experience this collective philia. Their own inner strife will always push and pull them apart. When we lose a friend, what do we do? We turn to our other friends. At the synchronous funerals in My Own Private Idaho, the stark contrast between Bob’s funeral and Scott’s father’s funeral cements the lost love and friendship between Mike and Scott. Mike turns to the other hustlers, his other friends, and their shared commitment and uniquely emotional mourning of Bob’s death. At the same time, Scott looks on, hardly paying attention to either his father’s funeral or the people around him. These people do not love each other nor are they friends. This funeral is a requirement, an exercise in appearances.

One final difficulty in friendships that is present in both Plato and Aristotle’s ideas as well as My Own Private Idaho is the impact of the external on these relationships. Scott does not betray his friends and his sexuality for his father’s fortune and power simply because Mike expressed his love for Scott. Rather, the consistent presence of Scott’s father as this figure of overbearing power pulled Scott away from the life and journey he embarked on with Mike. 
Love is unpredictable. Sometimes love is out of our control. Friendships do not always fade because of a lack of effort or because people’s ideals and characteristics shift over time. External forces can break relationships when these forces become internalized by an individual. This is not to say that Mike is representative of Plato’s “good” while Scott exemplifies the “bad” that Annas discusses. Relationships often lose their balance when commitments and desires are misaligned. To be unsure of one’s own desires, or to allow the external to apply itself to one’s thoughts and actions can also bring about the end of love, be it philia or eros. 
Tumblr media
Love is uncertain. It falls away when we allow the unknown and unclear aspirations to control our decisions. This is not to say that one must be sure about everything; I am not suggesting the impossible. Rather, we can maintain love through the unforeseeable future when we are willing to accept the love that we feel for another without giving in to fear, to the voices that tell us to back away.

The Pacora Gardens community is a quiet, impoverished neighborhood on the east side of Panama City, Panama. Great things are happening in Venezuela through sports and fitness while learning about Christ.

As prepares to be a professional soccer player, he is also learning how to share his story and his love of Christ with others. In December 2021, he was baptized and today he attends church on a consistent basis. At 14 years old, in the middle of a biblical teaching, Santiago accepted Christ into his life. As a result, several participants have made their confession of faith, have been baptized and attend church regularly.” Santiago Salazar met Jesus through soccer. Fathers are invited to participate in games to connect with their children and also to learn about the Lord. Mothers attend daily fitness training and learn the Word of God. “Children and youth play sports and are discipled. “We have seen how the different sports and fitness programs have allowed children and their parents to play sports and go to church together,” Cesar says. Residents in this community face many challenges including poverty, dysfunctional homes, alcoholism and drug addiction. SportQuest Partner Cesar Daniel Bermudez runs the program and has a dream that it will grow to serve 500 youth. More than 90 children participate in the SportQuest soccer academy and fitness program located in Maturin, Monagas in eastern Venezuela. Both mother and daughter have embraced Christ and are becoming devout followers. Today, Yackencys is part of the Vida Fitness Team and works out while Georgeth learns soccer skills. She wanted to join this community of women and decided to get involved. While watching her daughter practice, Yackencys saw a group of women exercising and learning about Christ. What relationship have you been avoiding due to conflict? How could intentionally serving that person potentially change your relationship?įor Yackencys Domínguez Trías, enrolling her 10-year-old daughter Georgette Medina in a SportQuest soccer program resulted in several unexpected benefits. When we enter into conflict humbly with a heart to serve and not be served, it changes everything. I learned so much on this trip, including how conflict can be the doorway to deeper relationships. That friendship and the last two decades of ministry with that church could’ve been lost had we demanded our rights and fought for our expectations. For the next two decades, that church continues to be one of our strongest and most willing partners in Belgium, and Peter and I remain friends. He stood up, and we embraced one another. The brick wall that had been erected in his heart toward us came crashing down. When I began to wash Peter’s feet, he started sobbing. We proceeded to pray over each of our Belgian friends and washed their feet with warm water in a plastic bowl. Then one night, we asked Peter and his team to meet with our leadership team in the church building. We looked for every opportunity to serve and changed our attitudes toward our hosts. God impressed on my heart that we should commit to taking the posture of a servant throughout the rest of the trip and put our perceived rights and wrongs aside. I was reminded that we were there to serve, not be served. I took these issues to God in prayer and then called SQ Director, Kent Susud, for counsel. Peter expressed his laundry list of frustrations with me and our team, and I felt completely misunderstood. Add to that the cultural differences, and by mid-week emotions had begun to boil over. I was young and inexperienced and didn’t realize how what seemed like minor infractions were causing friction and tension to build in the relationship. I was immediately admonished for my errors. When driving the team to the basketball gymnasium, I exceeded the speed limit by a few kilometers per hour and forgot to use my turn signal once. The conflict came when some of our young, exuberant team members failed to keep some of the rules. At this point, I realized we were skipping past any fun icebreakers and teambuilding games - there were rules to follow and a schedule to keep. He immediately sat me down and pulled out a very detailed spreadsheet in which every second of the following week had been planned to the “T.” Next, I was handed a list of rules for our team to follow while staying in the church building. Upon arrival, I was met by Peter, a very stern, serious Belgian man, who would be my point of contact for our partner church. This experience would prove to be very different. I had served on mission teams in Belgium before and these experiences had always gone smoothly, but this was my first time in a leadership role, and we were working with a new church in a new city. As a junior in college, I had the opportunity to lead my first short-term mission team to Belgium through SportQuest Ministries.
