so funny that they wanted to ease manu into it and give him a low stakes game and then all of THAT happened
It was all shaping up wonderfully.
A nice, peaceful match. Minimal disturbances for the return of our prodigal son. The ideal setting for a comeback. After all, who’d ever heard of SV Darmstadt anyway?
But then
BUT THEN
A WILD JO KIMMICH APPEARS
Entirely boyfriend-less and ready to throw the match into complete disarray
Which he did, with a beautiful red *ahem* parting gift
And just like that, Manu went from this
To this
And we may never know what happened in that locker room at the half, but I think we can safely assume Manu (or Thomas on his behalf) threatened to ground his rambunctious, misbehaving kids. After all, perhaps shaken from the record 3 sending-offs, they basically spent the opening 45 minutes playing tiddlywinks and giving Darmstadt way too much leeway. They owed Manu a better performance, and they seemed to know it too. They charged into that second half inspired, and waltzed their way to an 8-0 victory, restoring balance to the force and crinkly smile to their illustrious goalkeeper’s face.
tldr: Manu’s son got sent off a mere 4 minutes into the match. And pretty much 90% of his kids disappointed him throughout the rest of that first half. But it’s ok, because they made it up to him with an 8-0 victory and now we have happy Manu back 🥰

So I was thinking about Crosshair
I did just a tiny bit of research on sniper rifles last night wondering about possible career choices and y’all
A M82A1 Heavy Sniper Rifle (just one of many different types, but I’m using it as an example) is 31 lbs. ahem. I repeat. Thirty-one US pounds. That’s without any rounds of ammunition in it. The length ranges from between 48 and 57 inches, which is between 4 and 4.75 feet long.
(cite 1)
This might not seem like a lot, but imagine holding a really long 30 lb weight out like that for several seconds with precision and finesse the way Crosshair does when he takes very accurate pot shots. That gets heavy.
For reference, you wanna know what else is 30 lbs?
• 20 dozen eggs
• 4 gallons of water
• a 50 inch television
• a bicycle
• two upright vacuums
• a beagle
Etc.
(cite 2) (cite 3)
Now imagine doing stunts like this with something that heavy:
My conclusion: Crosshair is freaking jacked

PERSONALITY:
can’t you shut up for a single goddamn second?

HISTORY:
Rolf Lautmann was born to Wilhelm and Helene Lautmann on November 6, 1939. The birth was a difficult one and the doctors said that it was a miracle Helene didn’t die. After Rolf was born, both of his parents decided that they wanted as little to do with him as possible. His mother was out all night, often with different men, and his father wasn’t much better. His father’s temper was the worst thing about his early life; he’d often take his anger out on his son, leaving him bloody and bruised on the kitchen floor.
When Rolf was twelve, he ran away. The police brought him home within the hour, so he waited until the house was empty and ran away again. This time, he hid in the dumpster in an alley. He was planning to wait until morning and use what money he had to buy a train ticket, but he was discovered before he could put his plan into action. Luckily for Rolf, he was found by Anton Wyzek. It was the beginning of a life-long friendship and a bond that everyone said was closer than the bond between brothers.
When the boys were fourteen, they started the Jets. They knew of other gangs and had decided to make one of their own to protect the West Side. Rolf had, somewhere in the time of him turning thirteen, started going by Riff Lorton. This was partly because he’d always hated his name and partly because it’d be harder for his parents to find him with a different name. Tony went by Tony, like he always had. The Jets grew quickly and soon encompassed the whole of the West Side. They were the greatest, as Riff liked to say, and nothing could tear them down.

verses
it feels so scary getting old//verse - pre movie. (1939 - 1956). riff is born to wilhelm and hélène lautmann. his life is a living hell, so he runs away at twelve with the intent of catching a train away from new york. he hides in a dumpster overnight and is found by tony wyzek. the two quickly become inseparable and create the jets together at fourteen. the jets grow in size and tony and riff are on top of the world. nothing and no one will tear them down.
born to die young//verse - canon events of the movie. tony comes home and riff negotiates the rumble. everything goes to hell in a handbasket when tony dances with bernardo’s little sister. nothing good comes of these two days and morning dawns with three dead bodies and three grieving women.
one step ahead of the wrecking ball//verse - post movie. riff lives but tony is killed in the crossfire. riff is forced to deal with his guilt and the consequences of his actions.
when are you gonna grow up//verse - modern au. riff is your stereotypical bad boy. he doesn’t go to school much and generally runs around causing trouble. he still has the jets, but they’re more of a nuisance than an actual threat.
pretty girls wanting to dance//verse - 20’s au. riff runs a speakeasy and is constantly dodging the local authorities. he lives life on the edge because, really, is there any other way to live it?
you gotta get your story straight//verse - any and all interactions with muses that do not exist in the wss universe. this includes fandomless ocs. it does not include wss ocs.
