Streamer gf! Ellie

M.list

Im obsessed sorry

Streamer gf! Ellie whose wall is almost filled with guitars even though she only plays with one specific and does it just for you.

“Y’all wanna see the guitars? I only use that one actually” she moved her chair to show it properly, pointing her index finger at one that was lying on the floor

“Want me to play? I haven’t done it in a while”

Streamer gf! Ellie who remembered everyone that she had a girlfriend once she went super viral (and got made fun of bcs there was no way she could even approach to any girl without getting nervous and it seemed)

Streamer gf! Ellie who made you appear on stream with her after that just to prove you were in fact real and dating her.

“For today’s stream I’m gonna show y’all my wife, be nice, but not too much” she grabbed you by the wrist, bringing you closer to the camera and only showing you from your nose down.

“I told y’all to not be so nice, why’re you even calling her mommy? What’s wrong with you people”

Streamer gf! Ellie who got insisted on doing more streams with you so she started to play with you on stream (ofcs your favorite games most times) and bringing you with her anytime she played any horror game.

Streamer gf! Ellie who started to play Minecraft with you once a week on stream (having more views those days too) because people loved the dynamic you two had for that one game specifically.

Streamer gf! Ellie who ended up showing your face by accident while trying to adjust the camera and panicked once her chat told her because she thought you’ll get mad or something

“What do you mean? No I did not-“ she started to open like ten different tabs on her computers, checking something desperately and trying to push you so you wouldn’t see the screens “what? What happened?” you asked, confused.

Ellie was panicking but the chat didn’t seem to take it so seriously so you laughed at her too, still fully confused and trying to understand whatever the screens showed. That until you saw you face on a clip “Did you just show my face?”

Her eyes shifted to you, not saying a word “El, did you? Really?” once she heard you laughing it was like the sudden tension on her body disappeared almost immediately, letting out a small laugh as well “Well everyone, meet the wifey” your hand slapped her arm, not to hard but with how dramatic she is; she pulled away from you ‘oww’

Streamer gf! Ellie who tried to make a vlog and failed because she doesn’t know how to hold the camera properly (you ended recording everything for her)

Streamer gf! Ellie who social media is full of shit posting, kitties and you (likes every edit her fans make about you)

Streamer gf! Ellie who once did a bet with you during stream and ended up getting long nails because she lost almost immediately

Streamer gf! Ellie who wears lots of “I love my girlfriend” shirts on stream

Streamer gf! Ellie who spoils you a lot and likes having small dates with you, like building legos together, doing movie marathons or going shopping. Just anything where she can spend her money on you and have a nice time together.

“Babe, wake up” you were covered in blankets, hugging a pillow and trying to cover yourself from the warm but very bright rays of sun that entered trough the open spaces in between the contains. Groaning the moment Ellie started to pat your back because that meant she was either hungry or bored and needed you up too.

“El, let me sleep… cuddle with me, Mhm?” the way she chuckled made you turn around, trying your best to open your eyes properly “I have a surprise for you” her sleepy voice elicited a smile on you “yeah?”

She got under the blankets, crawling to you until she was practically on top of you “yeah, and I don’t wanna be late” her lips pressed on your forehead, hands on your face making small circles around your cheeks with her thumbs

Streamer gf! Ellie who insists on you making your own YouTube channel or something like that because people love you a lot and you would be a very talented influencer

Streamer gf! Ellie who got excited when you first opened an account somewhere to interact more with the fans and did lots of spam about it

Streamer gf! Ellie who begged you to get a cat. She wanted the orange + black combo originally but ended up getting a gray kitty she found on the street (and it’s obsessed with it, it’s her baby) She named it either a stupid name or something game related

Streamer gf! Ellie who apologizes a lot for having to go on stream during the weekends or when you’re free and feels bad for not being able to spend more time with you

Streamer gf! Ellie who always goes to cuddle with you and the cat after every stream and asks you to tell her everything about your day

I. VICTORY ROYALE

All Eyes on Me masterlist

Word count: 1.7k

•

"You're kidding. Brie Larson? The Brie Larson? The Oscar winner Brie Larson? CAPTAIN MARVEL Brie Larson?!"

"Yes, yes, yes - a million times yes." I laughed as my best friend went on and on about my big news that I finally had the time to tell her about. "That Brie Larson."

"No way." She was quiet for a moment. "And I wasn't mentioned in the tweet at all?"

I felt bad for Claire. We had a joint Twitch channel together and we also had our own separate ones. I had been working on my channel longer than she had so I had more time to grow, and it seemed that my hard work was paying off and I was starting to leave her behind.

"No," I answered sadly. "But that doesn't mean you can't join in." I tried to be optimistic about it, hating that my best friend in the whole wide world was upset.

"Nah, I'm better off just watching the stream. But," I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was smiling. "Do you think she could hook me up with one of her celebrity friends? Maybe Scarlett Johansson?"

"I doubt that. Plus, she's got two kids now. Are you really ready for that responsibility?"

"Yeah, no, nevermind." She laughed. "Well, what about that Olsen girl you've got a crush on?"

"No, you cannot have Lizzie." I replied quickly.

"Oh no? You called dibs?"

"I think her husband already did that." I couldn't even pretend to hide my disappointment.

"Pfft. Husband or not, you've got dibs."

This wasn't exactly a conversation I wanted to have, especially when I was about to make a connection to someone so close to her.

"Whatever. Maybe she'll hook you up with one of the new Marvel girls; Florence or Hailee."

"Oh hell yes, Hailee for sure."

"If it gets you off my back about my crush on Lizzie, I'll talk to her for you." I chuckled, knowing very well I would do no such thing.

"Yeah, right. I know you too well to believe that."

"Worth a shot." I shrugged to myself, checking the time before mentally cursing myself. "Shit, I gotta go. The stream is in a few hours and I still gotta get things set up with Brie."

"Well, okay. Good luck and I'll be watching so don't say anything stupid!"

"Same to you. I know you'll be active in the chat."

"Damn right. Later."

I shut off my game and took off my headset, sighing as I got up and made my way over to my computer. I had a lot of work to do before the stream, mostly setting up Brie's camera and microphone so that she could be seen and heard while we played.

I was still in awe of the fact that I was going to be hosting a live charity stream with a celebrity. It was scary and surreal and I couldn't pretend that I didn't get a heady rush from it. I made all of this happen. I was finally someone. My past be damned.

I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn't even realize nearly two hours had passed, and that I had multiple notifications on my phone, the most recent one being from Brie.

"Shit." I muttered to myself, loading up Discord on my computer and video calling my new friend.

We had been texting nearly every day since I sent her the message with all the charity information, but we had never spoken, so this would be our first time face to face.

She answered the call quickly, her face popping up on my screen, taking me by surprise. She looked so down to earth, but still beautiful in a casual outfit and her hair up in a messy bun.

"Hey, Y/N." She greeted me with a bright smile and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Hey, hi, Brie." I finally spoke, my cheeks flushing pink with embarrassment at my nervousness.

"You ready for our twenty-four hour stream?"

"Twenty-four hours?" I laughed. "Maybe twelve. I'm not sure about twenty-four."

"Aw, c'mon. It's for charity."

We spoke for a while before getting ourselves hyped up to start the stream. Once we decided on a game and double checked that all the stream settings were perfect, we went live.

@y/n_gaymergod LIVE 🔴 with @brielarson raising money for The Trevor Project!

We decided on Fortnite, a game she was familiar with and one that I was pretty rusty in, which made me a bit nervous due to the fact that my character skin was Scarlet Witch - someone she knew. I loaded up the game and invited her, ready for the influx of comments mentioning my big, embarrassing crush on Elizabeth Olsen.

She joined my game and I silently watched her reaction. Nothing. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding and turned my attention to the chat.

"Hi, everyone! We just got started and already we've got $15 donated! We didn't even start playing yet." Both Brie and I laughed, interacting with the chat as we started up a game of duos.

y/n is playing as the love of her life

big gay crush on fruity lizzie

y/n your gay is showing

I blushed a fierce red as I read the comments, hoping Brie didn't notice. It seemed that she was too busy trying to snipe some guys from across the map to pay any attention to the chat at the moment, which I was insanely grateful for.

"Nice shot, Y/N!" She exclaimed as I saved her from being downed.

"Thanks. You're not too bad yourself, Larson."

She smirked at me and I dropped some items for her in-game so she could recover from the fight we were just in.

was that flirting

y/n don't cheat on lizzie

y/n is flirting with brie larson i cant even

what about ur waifu for laifu lizzie y/n?

I ignored them.

"We've got this dub for sure." I assured her and she nodded and started cheering us on as we ran through the storm.

"Number one victory royale, baby!" She yelled as she ran into an unsuspecting duo, blasting them both with her shotgun.

Our first win of the stream done, we returned our attention to the chat and donations, now having received nearly $130.

"Wow, guys!" I couldn't believe it. "We're doing great so far. And we got a win! This is going really well." I directed the last part to Brie and she smiled, nodding at me.

A large donation flashed on the screen and my jaw dropped at the message attached to it.

"Brie, introduce Y/N to Elizabeth Olsen. She's in love with her."

I could feel my cheeks burning, tears building up in my eyes as she, obviously, read it. I was so fucking embarrassed.

"Thank you for the donation, but please don't say things like that again." I swallowed roughly. "We respect Elizabeth's marriage in this house." I tried to joke, the hurt surely evident in my voice.

Brie looked at me through the screen with an expression I couldn't quite identify before speaking again.

"I could make that happen."

My eyes went wide, my attention completely gone from the game and on my new friend. I got myself shot at and I cursed under my breath, trying to recover from the assault we were currently under.

"If we win this game, I'll see what I can do."

"Brie ..." I started to speak before she cut me off.

"You've gotta get more kills to catch up to me, Y/N. Keep up." She gave me a crooked smile, probably realizing that by saying that the chat would lay off me about it.

I made a mental note to thank her later, pushing down my awkward feelings from the chat and the last donor and focusing completely on the game. Even if it was just talk, I was determined to win.

Which we did. And many more after that.

We streamed for nearly twenty hours, with small breaks in between. We played a few different games and even played with viewers for a while. Our final donation total was a whopping $5,450, which surprised the hell out of me, but I was proud of our efforts. We did really, really good.

"So, about meeting Elizabeth." Brie started as we sat in a video call after the stream, just chilling and talking about how much fun we had.

"Brie, don't worry about that. My chat often busts my balls like that trying to embarrass me."

"It seems like they care about you." I was silent. "It sounds like you admire her."

"I just think she's cool, that's all. She seems like a nice person." I tried to cover my ass, but I'm sure I was very transparent.

"She is a nice person, and I think she'll like you a lot." She looked down at her phone for a few minutes before looking back up at me. "There's going to be an invite only party in LA in a few days celebrating the release of the new Doctor Strange movie."

I swallowed roughly, listening to her with bated breath.

"I want you to come with me as my plus one."

"I'm in New York, not LA, Brie."

"We can fix that. We have time to get you a flight and hotel."

I bit my lip in thought.

"Would it really be okay?" My voice was small and unsure.

She smiled brightly at me.

"Yes, of course it would! It's gonna be so exciting to hang out together in person."

I smiled, now excited myself and nodded in response.

"Okay, I'll do it. I'll come visit you and we can party and we can even record some of it for your YouTube channel if you want and -"

"Y/N, breathe." She chuckled at my reaction and tried to calm myself down.

"Sorry." I apologized bashfully. "I've never been to LA before."

"Oh no? Maybe I can show you around a bit. I know some really fantastic restaurants that you might like."

"That sounds great, I'm so excited!"

"I can tell." She smiled. "And does any of that excitement have to do with meeting Elizabeth?"

"Psh, no." I lied through my teeth. "I'm excited about spending time with you."

"Mhm. Nice cover."

"It's true! I consider you a good friend, Brie. I think we're gonna have a good time together."

"Me too, Y/N."

while working on reqs. here’s a little brainrot bubble. I think it’s be funny if instead of us getting Isekai’d the twenty two boys at entrance ceremony find themselves Isekai’d into your “mysterious” house that you inherited from a grandparent after you touch a mirror that had a cloth covering. Imagine teaching them about technology and try to convince these people to stay sane while in each other’s faces for almost twenty four hours a day, especially since some of them just met and got sorted into dorms. I just had the thought of do these men have airplanes in their world? and it kind of evolved to this.

Like Diasomnia on edge at first with Silver and Sebek trying to guard Malleus as Lilia listens to you and your explanation deeming you no threat. Malleus is simply happy he was invited or included with everyone when they were teleported. In Savanaclaw they all still have their beastmen features so you’re pleading with this stranger to not leave and go outside and cause trouble and this lion man is like… if you insist, while being smug. Totally acts like he is pitiful if you ask for help because he is stuck indoors. Floyd is having the time of his life, he will gnaw on furniture, as Jade is a bit more grounded but follow’s Azul’s lead as he tries to convince you to turn your house into a business as you deny.

Ignihyde has Idia and his brother and you’re thinking what a cute robot before he shoots a laser at a bug and you think that is enough for today. You eventually let all the boys live in your grandpa’s old home since it were rather large.. and magic is convenient. They can easily clean up the place and some are eager to learn about your world. You went from a normal life alone to living a life with a whole lot of boys.

Some of them do chores, like Trey, Jade, Jamil, who are the main chefs, while others such as Ruggie and Rook handle the laundry. Azul, Jade and Floyd handle your budgeting and monthly finances. You are not sure how but the money they give as “rent” increases per month. Vil and Idia have picked up youtube and streaming respectively, Idia being a vtuber and Vil having a channel that does a variety of content. Both are surprisingly popular. Vil also helps you renovate the interior design and Idia + Ortho handle all the machines and wifi. Some do odd jobs on occasion around the place like Ace, Epel, Lilia, some do hard lifting and collecting firewood like Jack and Sebek. Others such as Riddle and Cater can set the table, sweep up and check in on you. Some are freeloaders such as Leona, Malleus, and Kalim.

You figured things would be dysfunctional at first since your newfound boys weren’t allowed outside of your house, in fact are physically incapable of leaving your property, but they all managed to fit right in snuggly. Honestly, you couldn’t imagine just how hard life would be without them. You start working from home as your grandpa’s business is also passed down to you, even though you are a grossly underqualified child- claiming to be told old to keep up as he leaves to traveling the world after meeting the boys once. He doesn’t freak out and just go “:P forgot to tell you.”

You find their magic interesting. You also find out your grandpa has a lot of secrets. He can’t return them (much to their disappoint but later they could not care less they won’t return) but he can at least help out with some ancient books passed down about the great seven themselves, helping the Octatrio stay in human form. You also find some of them demanding, Floyd and Kalim almost always clinging to your arms as you try to work.

Sometimes you wake up to arguments, a chair may be flying, literally. Another time you awoke to a crying grey cat with ears of fire, trying to scratch at you. Hearing your scream Riddle and Azul came to your rescue, but you quickly told them not to be mean to a kitty, keeping him and naming him Grim.. seems like your home has gotten a new member, again.

Idia seems much more willing to leave his room when you mention getting a cat. Ace looks slight annoyed that you get to keep a fire producing cat but he could not keep a bear that Rook found? You were completely unfair. Meanwhile Riddle is ready to collar the cat for existing because he found a tart of his being eaten by the cat. You barely contained his rage, everyone lived another day.

Overall a chaotic household you now have.

a fun concept to play with? I’m a fan of the “inherits some mysterious magic object” trope and wanted to toy around with it a bit. i also had thoughts like my yuu would 100% be nicer to them than they are to us and give them a place to actually stay than kicking them to the curb like a certain Ramshackle building.

helloooo, can i rq a shauna x gn!reader where one of them gets sentimental over a shirt

thx!!

Finders Keepers

No warnings

Word Count: 950

You were having a bad day. A really bad day. You woke up too early, and couldn’t fall back asleep, then you ran out of coffee. You were 5 minutes later to work, and your boss had finally decided to fire you.

On the way home it poured. Of course you hadn’t checked the weather, so you had no umbrella. Nor could you call a taxi, not wanting to spend a bunch of money on one. You tried to seek shelter in a small cafe you passed, but a lot of people were standing in it, so you thought better and went on your way.

By the time you got home, you were soaked to the bone. You kicked off your shoes at the front door and ran to the bathroom. You had a nice hot shower. Letting all your worries drain away as you stood under the stream of water.

You step out of the shower an hour after you got in, the water had turned from warm to cold. You wrap yourself up in a towel before walking over to your bedroom. You grab a pair of sweatpants you had left laying on your bed that morning and put them on.

Finding a comfortable shirt was a different story though. You found yourself digging through a drawer, pulling out shirt after shirt. None looked comfortable enough for you. Before finally, you stumbled upon a shirt, it was old. Some small holes had formed in it, and the colour was fading.

It was one of Shauna’s old shirts. You two had lost it a few years ago, when you went on a trip. It looks like you were wrong and it was put into a random drawer.

Once dressed, you venture off into the kitchen, and grab a cold pop from the fridge. You take a cup out from your cabinet and put a few pieces of ice into it before pouring the pop over top of it. Taking a sip from your glass you walk into the living room, and sit down on the couch.

You place the glass onto the table, and pick up the t.v remote. You had a few hours to kill before Shauna came over. The two of you were going to watch Big Brother together.

You flip through the channels. Finally finding a show you actually want to watch. You lay down on the couch, and pull a blanket off of the top of the couch and wrap it around yourself. You let out a sigh.

The tv drowns out a bunch of the thoughts in your head. Enough so that you are able to actually get some more rest.

Three hours later you had woken up. A ring around your glass of pop, and no more ice left in it. You knew it would be watered down but you still pick the glass up and chug the drink.

You get up off the couch walking into the kitchen again, going to wash your glass, before noticing the time. You had around five minutes before Shauna would be at your house. So you quickly wash the glass and race back to the living room, making sure the right channel is on for Big Brother.

The next few minutes go by really slowly. The tv had landed on commercials, when there was finally a knock at your door.

The walk to the front door seemed longer than it was. When you opened it, you saw Shauna standing on the other side, a smile on her face, and a bag on her back. You pull her into the house, and close the door behind her. You give her just enough time to take off her shoes and jacket before you are hugging her.

She pats you on the back as you cling to her, “What’s up with you today? You’re never like this.”

“Bad day,” you mumble out, your head resting on her shoulder.

Shauna pulls back, and looks at you, “Then let’s make it a better day.”

You find yourself leaning against Shauna on the couch. Big Brother now playing, you had only a little bit of trouble keeping your eyes open. Shauna’s hand was running through your hair, and mumbling out comments about what was happening in the show.

Soon enough a set of commercials are on, and Shauna looks down at you, “Is that my shirt?”

You nod, “Yeah. I found it earlier in my dresser.” “That was like my all time favourite shirt. I’ll be taking it back when I leave tomorrow.” Shauna replies, yanking slightly on the sleeve closest to her.

“Finder keepers, not happening. I’m not having a replay of our first date. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great date, but it’s not happening.” you say, swatting her hand away from the sleeve.

You hear no reply so you continue talking, “I still can’t believe that you wore this shirt on our first date. Real question being why didn’t you listen to Jackie when she told you not to wear a teenage mutant ninja turtle shirt to a date. You’re lucky you’re cute. And you were lucky that we were going to the movies that day.”

“I was dressed perfectly fine for a date. I wore my good jeans and my good flannel,” Shauna rebuttals and you laugh. “Fine, fine. You looked good,” you roll your eyes, “I can’t believe you got me to watch a TMNT movie that night, but it was a nice date.”

After that the only sound that was made was Shauna’s comments again and breathing. By the time Big Brother was over, both of you were halfway asleep on the couch.

“Have you ever been in love?” - Jude Bellingham

Infooo: oneshot that might become a series, fluff, angst, cursing and I’m not a writer fr so Ntm 🙁 fem reader or pov man idk

—————————————————————————

I was waiting outside the club in a sleek black Mercedes. It belongs to my best friend Jude. Jude and I have been friends since birth and our bond is so strong that nothing can break us apart. I was scrolling through my phone til I hear a knock on the door. My eyes widened and I jumped a little at the sudden noise. I looked out the window and it was Jude with a goofy smile. I laughed and rolled the window down. “Open the door” he yell whispered. “Why are you whispering” I yell whispered back. “Because I can” he yell whispered back to me. I laughed. “You’re such a dumbass” I said as I unlocked the drivers door for him. He walked around the car and hopped in. “Thanks” he exclaimed, getting buckled up and putting the car in drive. “No problem” I replied, slapping my hand on his thigh jokingly. He chuckled at my action.

As we were driving all I could do was look at his face, he was beautiful. I’ve had a crush on Jude since elementary and now we’re in college. It’s crazy to think about really. “You like what you see?” Jude says. Which snaps me out of my thoughts. “Um what do you mean?” I ask trying to be oblivious. “You’re staring mad hard at me yk” he exclaims smirking. I roll my eyes. “It’s just because you have something on your face.” I say with a little pettiness in my tone. He checked himself in the rear view mirror. “No I do not” he says while shoving me playfully. I laugh.

Jude pulls into the drive way of his flat and puts his car in park. “Wait here” he says as he gets out and runs to my side of the car. He opens the door and bows slightly, grabbing my hand and leading me out the car. “You’re welcome m’lady” he says winking. I cringe. “You’re so fucking dumb Bellingham” I say as I laugh and let go of his hands. “Oh come on, I thought you’d like that” he said pouty. “Why would I like that?” I ask. “Because your always watching those princess movies and shit” he responds. “Boy bye” I say giggling and walking to the front door. He opens the door and lets me in first. “Ladies first” he says all smiley. “Shut up” I say as I roll my eyes.

Once I got in, I went straight to his fridge. I grabbed the tub of ice cream and sat on the couch. I was channel surfing til a certain channel caught my eye. Streaming was a love story between a regular boy and a princess. They’ve known eachother since forever and they’re both madly in love with eachother but never find out til one magical day. I was so intrigued that I didn’t notice Jude sitting beside me til he grabbed the tub of ice cream. “Hey!” I cry out. He just laughs as I cross my arms and huff.

After a while of watching the movie, jude and I were now cuddled up. My head resting on Jude’s chest. Hearing his heart beat feels so surreal even though we’ve done this like a million times. It feels great and I feel so secure every time. “Viola, I’ve been extremely in love with you since the day I met you.” The boy on the screen exclaimed. “I’ve been in love with you too Thomas” the princess on the screen replies. “Have you ever been in love Jude?” I blurt out immediately regretting it. He backs up to look at me wide eyed before going back to his neutral expression. “What do you mean?” He asks. “Have you ever been in love?” I ask, now sitting up instead of laying on Jude. Jude sits up too and nervously laughs. “Where did this come from?” He asks. “I just wanna know” I say nervously. He chuckles. “Well you know I have no time for love bc I’m balancing football and college-“ I cut him off. “Jude that’s not what I’m asking” I say looking into his deep brown eyes. He sighs. “I mean I guess, I have been” he says. “Have you?” He asks. “Uhm yea something like that” I say. He hums and pulls me back so we can finish the movie.

‘I wish I could just tell him how I feel’ I think to myself. After a while the movie ends and me and Jude are now sitting at his kitchen island. “So uh y/n, who were you in love with?” Jude asks. The question was so sudden that it had me stunned but I answered. “Just this guy from elementary.” I reply. He hums. “What about you?” I ask. “This girl that I’ve known for a while.” He says, not breaking eye contact with me. I start to get nervous. “Oh what’s she like?” I ask. He doesn’t respond. “Come on Jude, we’ve known each other for years, you can tell me.” I say smiling. “Well” he hesitates. “It’s you.”

BEEP BEEP BEEP

“What the hell” I yell while being woken up by my alarm. “Wait all of that was a dream.” I say to myself. “Fuck!” I yell. I groan as I get out of bed. I start getting ready for the day when I hear a knock at my door. I walk to the door and open it. It’s Jude. “Oh hey Jude” I said nervously. “Hey” he says brightly. “You free today?” He asks nervously while showing me two tickets to a movie I really wanted to go watch. “Yes!” I exclaim as I run back to the bathroom. Jude laughs at my antics.

‘The dream might’ve not been real but this date is’ I think to myself as I’m giggling in the mirror. “Yo hurry up y/n” Jude yells through the door. “I’m hurrying!” I exclaim.

——————————————————————————

That’s all guys 🤭

Thanks for reading!!

A multi-generational saga courses across the pages of Ædnan, by Sámi-Swedish author Linnea Axelsson, translated from the Swedish by Saskia Vogel. The verse epic follows an Indigenous Sámi family who have herded reindeer for generations, as the forces of colonialism and modern development of their ancestral lands threaten their culture and livelihood. The story is told by a small chorus of characters from the 1910s through the current day, and we become especially close to Lise, who left her Sámi family, following her brother Jon-Henrik, to be educated at a residential school for “Nomad” children. This excerpt from Chapter XII takes place in the early 1970s, along the Great Lule River Valley, where the state-owned Vattenfall company was developing hydroelectric resources, and Lise is graduating into a world unimaginable to her parents.

. .

The river climbed silently up the hills

as soon as Vattenfall whistled it came creeping:

–

Streamed backwards up its deep channel and drowned the earth

When the great Suorva Dam for the third time was to be regulated

–

Entreaty

shone from Mama’s eyes

–

She explained clearly to the Swedes

that the fishing will suffer if the water rises

–

There was probably no one who understood what she was saying

– –

After the social studies lesson I went with the others to sit on the gymnasium floor

–

Almost all of Malmberget’s students had been dismissed from class

– To participate in the miners’ strike meeting

–

Someone had heard that Olof Palme was coming

that he would travel all the way up here

–

To the mining company’s and Vattenfall’s world the one that he himself had helped build

–

It is what he is guarding

It is all that he can see

–

The mine boss’s voice

flowed wildly above the crowded hall which was hot with bodies

–

His voice was so robust his conviction so intense

–

I glanced at Anne who was sitting beside me leaning against the wall bars

and she smiled back at me

–

Soon we would be leaving school too

–

And could start working join the union

–

You took the job you wanted that’s all there was to it

–

Switchboard cleaner or cook

with the old folks at the Pioneer or the children in day care

I spend the weekend up at Mama and Papa’s

–

I stand with Jon-Henrik

–

Watching the river flow murky across the slope

–

That brushy slope

where he and I used to go it’s underwater now

–

How are our tracks ever to be heard Among the Swedes’ roads and power stations

–

It’s Jon-Henrik who says this he had also been drawn down to the dam

–

To work for Vattenfall as soon as school was done

–

I’m surprised when he says

That he’d preferred to have taken up with the reindeer

–

Been elected into the Sámi community

And learned to guide that wandering gray soft ocean across the world of the fells

–

Just as the lot of us were once taught at the Nomad School that this is what the Sámi do

that this is how we all live

–

He laughs and says:

–

Who knows what the spring flood will bring with it

this drowned earth may yet be fertile

little taste of heaven | stephen strange x reader

summary : you use the darkhold to be with stephen and get a little taste of heaven.

A/N : a little warning: i kinda channelled my anger into this. im sorry, if it's too much. also, ignore my bad writing and english, it is not my first language.

You've always believed there's a thousand more realities where things in your life are different—better, and you've always wanted to trade places with one of your alternates and taste a little bit of heaven. You just didn't know how to reach it. When you learned about the darkhold and the secrets it keeps, you smelled a scent of hope in the middle of your despair.

You've heard about the consequences of using the book of the damned but you don't care. Not anymore. You are tired of having to watch him pining over someone he couldn't have when you're right in front of him. You've made a fool of yourself all those years trying to prove your love to Stephen and he damn well can see it but he just won't let Christine go. The worst part is that you still would do anything for him, even after all the pain he put you through.

You spitted the olives out of your mouth and downed your drink in one gulp before snatching your purse off your lap and sprinted out of the wedding. Stephen asked you—no, he begged you to go to his former co-worker's wedding as his date only for him to cling to Christine for some closure and completely forget about you.

You don't know anyone at the wedding. He could've at least introduced you to Christine and be a gentleman. You wish he would've held you like he held his stupid pride.

"Y/N! Where are you going?" He called out, trailing behind you. It's a miracle that Stephen noticed you storming out of the wedding. He usually would forget about you once Christine is on the frame.

You slammed the door to your room in the sanctum and immediately pulled out the darkhold. You called the candles and they instantly lit up, surrounding you in a circle as you opened the dreamwalking section. The door banged loudly, and you can hear Stephen howling your name from the other side of the door.

You walked through multiple clouds of alternate realities, searching for the one you most desire. A lot of these clouds played an agonizing scene of you leaving Stephen's wedding with your mascara streaming down your face, it made your heart ache.

Your eyes gleamed in felicity when you see a clip of you fast asleep and locked up in Stephen's arm. It looks so peaceful. You went to reach for it but a portal appeared, revealing Stephen.

You laughed, "Still has the heart to check on me, Doctor?"

"I'm sorry I left you all alone, I should've been with you the whole time." He apologized, "Please don't do this. This isn't you, the darkhold is playing with your mind."

"You don't know me, Stephen Strange."

"I do. You're my friend, Y/N."

"I just want you, but you couldn't stop pining over her. What does she have that I don't?" Your voice cracked as tears streamed down your face.

Stephen doesn't give you an answer.

It breaks your heart even more to hear his silence. You performed the spell and felt yourself floating. You let out a long sigh, allowing yourself to relax as you entered your alternate self.

As if just in a blink, you can feel your surroundings shifted. The sheets and strong arms tangled around your naked body makes you feel giddy. You couldn't stop the smile from taking over your face.

"Y/N? Are you okay, sweetheart?"

Hearing Stephen calling your name, made your heart fastened. Afraid you might have slipped away and failed to do the spell but when that sweet word fell out of his mouth, you immediately melted in his arms.

"I'm fine." You sighed, inhaling his scent, you wish you could bottle and get drunk in it every night. "I'm great."

"Are you sure?" He asked, his face slightly concerned. "You were tossing and turning in your sleep." Must've been my alternate self trying to fight me off.

"Just a bad dream, I'm good, fine, amazing!" You assured him.

"For someone who had a bad dream in their sleep, you're a bit silly."

"Well, you can't dwindle over a bad dream all day, can you?"

"I suppose not." He plastered that smirk that makes you weak in the knees and kissed you. It was a quick peck but you threaded your fingers into his hair and pulled him back in for more.

His taste invaded you, making you feel light headed. This is the little taste of heaven you've been yearning for. You could stay here and leave your mess of a life behind and never worry about it anymore.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what has gotten into you?" Said Stephen, panting after pulling out of the kiss.

You chuckled and buried your face in his chest as you carefully listened to his heartbeat.

"Am I dreaming?" You looked up at him. The sun was illuminating his face, making him look ethereal and inhuman.

Stephen doesn't respond. Instead, he pulled you into a passionate kiss and bit your lip, making you winced. "Still dreaming?"

You laughed and playfully shoved him.

"C'mon, I'll make breakfast." Stephen went up to leave the bed but you yanked him back down by his forearm. "Y/N!" He laughed. It is the most beautiful sound you've ever heard.

Stay, your treacherous voice tempted.

You held onto Stephen for your dear life as if he would disappear if you let him go. "Five more minutes."

"I'm not going anywhere." It's true, he's not going anywhere but you are. The spells are not gonna last and you could leave in any seconds now.

"I love you," You kissed him on his shoulder.

"I love you," another kiss on his neck.

"I love you," another kiss on his cheek.

"I love you." a kiss on his lips. You rested your forehead in his, your nose bumping each other.

You can feel him slipping away from you as you hear him say: "I love you."

You fell with a thud as reality shifted back to the way it was and broke down, letting your tears flood the room in your ocean of despair.

Bursting Bubbles of Bad Luck Chapter 3

Miraculous Ladybug | 2019 | 602 | Ao3 | Prev | Masterlist | Next

Marinette’s heart stopped. Something jolted through her, leaving a slimy coating under her skin and on her muscles and up her throat and- she took a breath, heaving air into lungs that didn’t feel right anymore.

She scrambled to sit up, breaths coming in short gasps that went from pat-pat-pat to pat to nothing for seconds and then another set of heaving because she did need air, and forgetting to breath helped nothing.

Marinette waited until the pattern died off, even though she still felt wrong. Violated. As her breathing slowly returned to something even, the headache stayed. Something was wrong. Marinette pushed forward, towards the ladder from her bed. In her rush, she knocked it over.

Another deep breath. She found one of her bedposts and pushed magic to it, intending to reform it for the moment.

Marinette didn’t get that far.

As she tried to push magic through her hand, it started stinging heavily, like she had dipped it in a fryer with breading and now the breading was burning her skin while the oil and breading weighed her down.

She shrieked.

Something was wrong with her magic. That… that didn’t happen. Not without a very strong curse or-

Oh no.

Marinette grit her teeth, reaching in the dark for another bauble she kept near her at all times. She used her other hand to try again, just to turn the gnome into an arrow. It hurt nearly as much. Marinette dropped the object and realized she had stopped breathing again. She started the pattern, fast fast fast, normal, stop, fast fast fast, normal, stop, for the second time that night, tears streaming down her face.

That hurt. Physically. And worse. Her skin was only getting more slimy and painful, and she hated it.

She hadn’t done anything yesterday! Or even last week! The only way someone could have cursed her would be if they targeted her, which was a very, very scary notion.

Mage inc. Discord chat - Channel #General

Rough-glamor: Any other @Changlings feeling completely whack tonight? I woke up in a cold sweat and it hurts to use my magic.

Goldie The Queen Of France: Nope, but my brother is. He’s also had his trail change colors, did that happen to you too?

Rough-glamor: Lemme check

Yep.

WTC?

Flutetastic: That’s really weird.

Sometimes it can act up if our physical states need help (I once had such severe sleep deprivation that the ringing in my ears became audible to everyone in the vicinity. Not fun to explain) but it’s p weird to see it happen in multiple cases at once.

Le Chien adores la chatte: Um, it’s kinda viral? Here in America anyway. People are collapsing and at least one exploded. The entire street turned into a victorian-era clothing store. I don’t know if they’ll play this off, or leave it like they do Pride.

Flutetastic: That’s… not a coincidence.

Rough-glamor: ‘bout to sound rlly crazy here, but like… does anyone know the state of our heart? I heard that Destruction mages had a really bad week in 2009, and then there was that one guy claiming he’d stolen the heart and cursed it.

Goldie The Queen Of France: Oh I really hope not. Corrupted hearts have really, really bad side-effects.

***

Gabriel watched the gem flicker, changing colors. The kwami that came with it was shaking like a leaf, but he didn’t care.

He finally had a way. He just needed to get enough attention.

Starting tomorrow, Emilie would be well on her way to healing.

***

Marinette threw up. She wasn’t the only one.

Do you think 1 of the Sam and Colby duo is difficult to get along with (or both of them) or do you truly believe so many of their friends have turned out to be fake friends? I ask because they seem to have fallen out or cut ties with so many people over the years that it feels out of the ordinary.

this is an interesting question. i think it's a bit complicated and has a lot of layers to it.

this is so long so... sorry in advance lol

first off, when it comes to their old friend group, i don't think they were besties with every single person in it. you gotta remember a lot of it was just an extension of other ppl they were close to. so there was snc, corey, and jake. then you have their gfs - kat, devyn, and tara. then you have reggie, jake's brother, who also has a gf (now fiance) cassie. then there's xepher who snc were friends with, who used to date mike, and mike was friends with aryia and kevin. and then jake had his friend griffin join the group and then him and xepher started dating. and if you really want to add on, elton was way in the back as just someone they used to live with and collabed with for a while and were friends with before. and aaron was also someone they lived with and were close to, and he had a gf at one point too.

so like, from just the core four of the old trap house it extends into like five or six more ppl, that then extends more. that being said, do i think snc were best friends with someone like cassie? no. they just knew her by acquaintance.

also snc have never addressed anything so whatever occurred with their old friends, we will never know. and on top of that, snc don't really cut ties with ppl unless really necessary so they're still all friendly with everyone in the group, they just aren't as close as they once were. and sometimes that's not due to drama. friends just drift apart.

that being said… here are some things i've heard thru the grapevine as to why maybe some of the ppl don't vibe with snc anymore/stopped for a while lol

aaron and snc were never that close, but they were roommates/collabed sometimes. when snc moved out of the trap house and into apartments, there was a period of time that colby in particular was vocal about living with someone that he felt used snc. all signs pointed to aaron. that beef eventually got squashed and they are relatively friendly with each other (they just don't interact).

mike had issues with everyone during the pandemic bc he felt like no one checked on him when he was struggling mentally. he went way for like three months, and came back and basically stopped being friends with everyone except colby, jake, and tara. he had lived with kevin and aryia, and basically disavowed them.

from leaked dms between mike and a fan, he explained that kevin only reached out at one point after mike unfollowed him. and then kevin apparently told fans that snc and co weren't being nice and were 'using him'. mike then explained that no, that's not true, and that snc had to sit kevin down and tell him to stop filming them all the time and when that happened kevin ghosted them and said they were bad friends.

mike also explained at some point that he and sam got into an argument and kat "put her nose in where it didn't belong", so that's kinda why he stopped vibing with snc, and only stuck to colby.

aryia moved away after living in the krac house that included him, kevin, reggie, and cassie bc he hated la. he has since moved back and seems friendly with everyone (minus mike) still.

reggie at one point complained on a stream that he wanted to stream more but he had no time bc he was editing snc's personal channel videos. sam heard that during some video or something and said "oh okay, he doesn't have to edit for us anymore." and then…. reggie stopped editing for them lol

i've explained this before, but i think what occurred between corey and jake with snc is that when they all lived in the old trap house it was rented between them all and aaron. so if they trashed it, it was a group issue. but once snc bought the house that they now rent out to ppl in la, the new trap house/last trap house, it was their house to own. and so, jake and corey were just renters. so when snc became landlords (basically), i think jake and corey didn't vibe with that bc snc were probably a little more strict about things that were allowed to happen.

jake alluded on a stream that he wasn't allowed to be loud or to do anything crazy, like film a music video, even tho kat could do that. also, even colby has admitted this, but sam controlled the ac and apparently he likes it on the warmer side so sometimes the house was hot. after all of this, he moved out.

corey explained that he wanted to move out to pursue other things like music. then he moved in with elton, and once they started working together, 25x25 happened. elton felt like snc copied tfil with 25x25, and that's kind when corey's relationship with them went south. and then recently-ish, corey admitted that elton and him only collab with friends. and when fans asked about jake (and snc), corey said that jake doesn't believe in paranormal so collabing is a bit hard. aka, he's not friends with snc anymore. but that's not surprising.

also tara and kat had some form of falling out but idk what happened there. i think it was believed to be something with sam and jake, and then the gfs just kinda picked their bfs sides, but idk for certain.

so, is there a common denominator? sorta. sam (and kat to some extent) definitely seems to be the boundary setter and the one that puts his foot down, but also the one that probably pushes things too far and that pisses ppl off so they back away. a lot of the old friends still vibe with colby, even when they didn't vibe with sam so….. yeah lol but colby also doesn't know how to end a friendship so it's a bit tough to tell what truly is happening completely.

this also doesn't get into the fact that there was a time period in 2021 that snc weren't succeeding, which was a first, and everyone kinda jumped ship bc let's be honest here, all of their old friends benefitted from being their friend. and once the cash cow isn't bringing in the cash, you gotta move on. but then snc started succeeding again and all of their old friends now vibe with them again. what a coincidence. that's not to say that all of their old friends that are back in their life are fake. i think some of them genuinely missed snc - like jake. once colby announced his cancer diagnosis, it probably shocked jake enough to realize that petty shit isn't really worth holding onto. that's just my guess.

and all the gfs just kinda followed suit with whatever their bfs were doing so… that's also explains the girls not talking to snc anymore but now tara vibing again with them.

Provoke

Warnings: George does cry a bit at the end but it's because of laughter and Karl stops immediately after!

A/n: I tried to edit this but I may of missed some stuff! I'm really tired so my bad!

--------------------------------------------------

George was in a lee mood and it was all his friends fault. Okay.. maybe that was a bit dramatic but it is true! He woke up early to the sound of squeaky laughter and he was very tired so ofcourse he went to go complain to whoever woke him up but instead he walked in on Sapnap tickling Dream on the couch.

Sapnap was sitting on Dream's legs and was using his fingers to tap on his sides slightly, He looked up and the mischievous grin he once had disappeared into a soft look, "I'm sorry, did we wake you George?" George grumbled, he just knew there was a pink blush on his cheeks.

Sapnap smiled, "Would you like tickles too Georgie?" Sapnap raised his fingers at George and wiggled them, making George take a step back. Sapnap chuckled and went back to poking and squeezing at Dreams sides, who let out a slight wheeze.

George put his hand over his mouth to help hold back any giggles and headed towards the kitchen, he took a deep breath and put his hand down. He was just gonna get cereal and try to ignore the giggles coming from the living room, ignore the fact that he was definitely in a lee mood now.

He groaned and grabbed a random box of cereal, not really caring to check. He got a bowl, spoon and some milk, he put the cereal in and then milk. He went to his room and sat down with his food and begin to scroll on his phone.

After a few minutes, he heard a knock on his door and lifted his head up. "Come in!" Dream walked in, (His face being red, aftermath of being tickled most likely but he chose to ignore that.) "What?" Dream lifted up a box of cereal.

"Did you eat my cereal?" George looked at the box and looked down at his bowl which had the cereal on the box in it. He looked back at Dream who had one eyebrow raised. "No?" Dream groaned, "Seriously? Your lucky I'm tired or else i would've tickled youuu~" Dream smiled at George who begin to have a blush grow on his face.

"You're an idiot-" he grabbed the pillow and covered his face, staying there until he heard a chuckle and his door shut. He groaned and removed the pillow from his face, putting it back in its rightful place. Well other then that meaningless conversation he had an idea on how to get ti.. Tick.. You know what he's saying!

Instead of having to embarrassingly ask, he'll just provoke his friends! It's perfect, foolproof and will totally work! Not Dream since he'd be sleeping, but Karl, Who came to stay around a week ago and Sapnap who would probably just be watching tv!

First, Sapnap! Because he is REALLY easy to provoke, George got up and started heading to the living room. He heard the tv playing, so Sapnap was definitely watching it. So he would just turn off the channel and complain or something.

As he walked into the living room, he saw Karl next to Sapnap also! Perfect! Two birds with one stone. He walked in and stared at the tv for a second and then turned to Sapnap and Karl who were both watching and then grabbed the remote, and he turned it off.

Sapnap immediately turned to George and narrowed his eyes, George stuck his tongue out and Sapnap groaned, Karl on the other hand seemed to be staring at George like he was zoned out, George ignored it as he paid attention to Sapnap who begin to complain.

Sapnap sighed, "It doesn't matter anyway- The show was trash and I have to stream." He stuck his tongue out. "So technically you helped me!" George internally screamed but he just rolled his eyes while Sapnap walked off into his room.

He scoffed and crossed his arms, falling on the couch next to Karl who was silent. "Were you trying to provoke Sappynap?" George moved his eyes towards Karl who was smiling at him, "Nope." Karl raised an eyebrow, "Really? So you weren't trying to provoke Sapnap to get tickles?"

George blushed at the use of the word "tickle" before he covered his face and shook his head. Karl grinned and gently took George's hand off of his face and held them in his own, "Would you want tickles?" George looked away and nodded his head.

He felt Karl's nails gently trace his hand, making him let out light giggles. "All you have to do is admit that you were trying to provoke poor Sappy!" George whined, "I wasn't thohohough!"

Karl let out a laugh and continued tracing lightly, "Totally not provoking, But if it wasn't then why did you come into the living room and turn off the tv?" Karl let out a "hmm" sound and George scoffed, (Knowing he didn't have a real excuse.) "It's nohohot provoking it's more like letting him know I wahahnt sohohomething..??"

Karl giggled, "Ofcourse George that makes perfect sense!" George went to speak but was interrupted by Karl gently squeezing at his clothed side's, he let out a soft yelp before bursting into giggles.

Karl eyes widened in surprise before he smiled with his eyes closed, "I didn't even know you laughed at soft tickles! What does it feel like?" George let out a giggle and begin to squirm, he wasn't quite sure if he was trying to squirm into the light touches or away from them though.

"Ihihit tickles!" Karl hummed, "Tickles? How? like how it tickles when a feather slowlyyy glides across your sides, slowly going towards your ribs?" Karl while he said this, he slowly glided his fingers towards George's ribs.

George's giggles slowly turned into loud laughter as he felt the fingers glide across his skin, "KAHAHARL PLEASE!" "Or is it more like when someone lips are inches away from your tummy and you know they are gonna blow a raspberry?"

George started squirming even more, The anticipation from the teases were making the light touches unbearable and he swore he was starting to feel phantom touches. Karl grinned and rested his hands at George's ribs, slowly tapping his fingers on them lightly, The thin fabric he wore not doing much to protect him. "If I'm gonna tickle you George, I'm gonna need to know what it feels like!" "Kaharal plehehease it tihihickles-"

Karl giggled, "Really? I didn't notice!" George scoffed at Karl's words, "Your so stuhuhupid! Plhehehease just-" George went silent before he could finish his sentence, his face going red. "Please what?"

George whined before mumbling, Karl tilted his head. "What?" "PLEASE JUST TICKLE ME!" George didn't even get a second before his shirt was lifted up and Karl's hands were using his fingers to vibrate into his tummy, he was silent for a second before the "dam" broke and all that could be heard was laughter. Karl had the biggest grin at his face, obviously loving the reaction from his friend.

"I mean that's not exactly what I wanted but how could I deny you tickles? It'd be cruel! After all you're so ticklish!" George thought that if Karl kept teasing him, his face might be permanently red! Karl stopped for a second and George felt him shift to a differnt position but before he could look, he felt Karl nibbling on his tummy.

George squealed before bursting into giggles, Karl hummed and stopped letting George take a deep breath. "Where is another spot I should go? Your hips maybe? Or maybe your armpits?" Karl grinned and seemed to have moved back next to George, bouncing in excitement.

"Or maybe.. You have a super secret ticklish spot?" George froze for a second but it was long enough for Karl to notice the reaction. "You do have one! Where is it?!" Karl eyes were shining with mischievousness.

George raised an eyebrow staring at Karl, Karl huffed "I know your not just gonna tell me.." Karl put his hands on George's shoulder, giving experimental squeezes before he gently skittered his fingers against George's neck.

George let out a snort followed by giggles and scrunched his shoulders up, trying to stop Karl's hands. Karl gasped at the reaction, "Did you just snort?? That's so cute!" George let out a flustered whine but he was also surprised at his reaction, Karl on the other hand took a deep breath and blew into George's ear.

George squealed and immediately covered his ears, quickly uncovering them when Karl's hand dug into his ribs. "I know your ear is ticklish, I saw the video with lovejoy! Did they wreck you after? If they didn't, they are missing out! Listen to your laughter!" Karl gasped, "Do they know about your super secret ticklish spot? How dare you tell them but not me!!" Karl giggled and slowly moved one of his hands towards George's knee.

He continued to taze at George's sides before he quickly grabbed onto George's knee and started squeezing.

It was completely silent before George fell into hysterical laughter, his leg kicking up but didn't pull away. Karl kept squeezing and skittering using his other hand to scribble on George's tummy. George's laughter eventually went silent and his eyes were tearing up.

Before he knew it the touches were being slowed down and eventually stopped, a cold face cloth being gently rubbed on his warm face. Soft words praised and cooed at him before they stopped and George was being shaken a bit. "Georgie? Are you alright?" George nodded, not trusting his voice to be not scratchy with how much he laughed.

Karl smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry if that was too far, your laughter was just really nice to hear." George scoffed and cuddled up to the couch pillows, giving a thumbs up which made Karl laugh. "Alright George, I'll leave you to sleep."

Karl walked away and headed towards his room, before he entered he saw Dream who looked at him and glared. "You woke me up." Karl let out a half-hearted laugh and rubbed his neck, "Oops?" "Oops? OOPS?" Karl quickly ran with Dream following him, The house being filled with laughter. And if Sapnap eventually joined too who would know? Certainly not George, who somehow managed to stay perfectly asleep.

If the question hasn’t hit your For You page or Twitter feed (or group chat) yet, it will: How often do you think about the Roman Empire? The provenance of the query is a little blurry, but it maybe started with this tweet (which also references an Instagram Reel) or possibly this TikTok. Or this one. The point is, everyone is trying to figure out how often the men in their lives think about the Roman Empire.

According to one of those ur-TikToks posted by @paige.elysee earlier this week, you will be “shocked with their responses.” But if my friend group—and the WIRED Culture Slack—are any indication, the responses are simply … interesting? When I sent the question to group chats yesterday, most of the responses skewed toward, “Is this that Twitter poll? lol” or “I got asked this last night. Truly never.” In other words, they weren’t shocking but were definitely amusing. Some colleagues generously interjected with “My brain: ‘The Roman Empire is to men what girl dinner is to women’” and “My theory is that it's because that Daily Stoic podcast is so popular.” WIRED legend Steven Levy offered that he thinks about Ancient Rome, “Every time I write about Mark Zuckerberg.” But according to people who aren’t my friends, the answer is more along the lines of “every single day” or once a week or “a few times a month.”

I decided to poll WIRED colleagues. Now, I’m of the opinion that it’s kind of ridiculous to gender this question—people of all identities can be history buffs, y’all!—but maybe that’s an argument for another time. As of this writing, answers are still pouring in on the impromptu Google Form I set up, but in a group that consists of a good balance of men and women, about a fifth answered that they “never” think about the Roman Empire. “Never” was tied with “weekly,” followed by “monthly” at about 15 percent of respondents.

In my deep, morning-long investigation, there were also more than a few responses that pointed to the Cold War or Pompeii or the 1920s as time periods more worthy of contemplation. This, ultimately, led me to a theory: Dudes/people don’t think about the Roman Empire a lot, they think about media about the Roman Empire. Video games set in the Colosseum, old films like Cleopatra, roughly a million History Channel docuseries, Monty Python’s Life of Brian—these things are burned into our memories. Jay-Z was able to put Russell Crowe’s “Are you not entertained?” at the beginning of “What More Can I Say” because Gladiator was so popular.

My own ponderings of Ancient Rome tend to hover around the persecution of Christians and the empire’s conversion to Christianity after Constantine. Then I think of Keanu Reeves. One of my former editors responded to my group text query by noting that she’d recently watched HBO’s Rome concurrently with Amazon Prime Video’s Domina to “contrast the characterizations of Octavian’s wife during the Second Triumverate.” Then I Googled this and went down a rabbit hole of my own.

This is the state of media consumption in 2023. Hollywood, hungry to adapt any story it can, has turned history into IP—shows and movies that we now watch with phones in hand and laptops open to delve into whatever new tidbit shows up onscreen. Who amongst us hasn’t lost hours on the KGB Wikipedia page after a binge-watch of The Americans or sought to fact-check The Trial of Chicago 7? Fire up any streaming service and there are hours of content about World War II. I once dedicated nearly a month of reporting to Alan Turing’s “Bombe” code-breaking machine after I saw The Imitation Game. Frankly, Turing is probably my Roman Empire. (Ask me about the Apple logo in the comments.)

As the cliché goes, history is always written by the victors. But in modern times, it often gets translated by screenwriters and then “punched-up” by studio notes. People tend to be obsessed with the past. The longer my text and Slack threads stretched, the more respondents tried to figure out why anyone was even talking about dudes and the Roman Empire in the first place. It devolved into questions about why humans are enthralled by war, the collective fascination with powerful men, and on and on and on. No one ever figured out why the meme went viral—or whether men really do think about the Roman Empire all that much, or more than people of other genders. But we were entertained.

Once again i wanna say just how much i love your blog and your posts. I wanna cram every info inside my brain ngl so that I am able to understand the races in a different light. Can i ask for some recs for extra reading or youtube vlogs to understand the races better? I saw some resources on your page (such as the f1 tech reddit page and some youtube pages too) and i m checking those out too so that i can understand the tech side better and their choices for strategies and all that. Thank you ♥️

Thank you so much!

If anyone else has other resources that they think are great then please feel free to add them because I 100% forgot someone!

This is just a list of imo relevant content it's not all just about races and strategy some are about the technical side but I figured I'd include them anyway.

Tumblr

@race-week Makes brilliant posts like track previews and explains a lot of things. Also you get the occasionally free cat picture so for sure worth a follow.

Their pinned post has links to some really good overview posts for other resources and all sorts of other good things.

Video Content

Formula 1 Tech Talks It's official F1 content with different people. They always talk about something relevant to specific races and it's often very informative and interesting.

There is this playlist from the Tech Talk Demos that talk about about a lot of different F1 car parts and demonstrate how they work.

There are more Tech Talks but not all are in that playlist so you just have to search the youtube channel for it.

Chainbear on YouTube He makes a lot of content about like everything! He has a video about Hungary strategy. He pretty much has a video about how and why things went down the way that they did about most races, lovely illustrations/ animation and explains things really well.

Or this video about the basics of race strategy as a whole.

He also has some videos about technical things like tyres, and engines and these sort of things. He is one of the best entry points into learning about how things work and why they happen the way they do.

Driver61 on YouTube He talks more about driver specific things and used to be a racing driver. So he has videos on things like how Checo is so good at saving his tyres.

brrake on YouTube and twitch He used to be a performance engineer for multiple F1 teams and was working for RB recently (he brings it up any chance he has). His personality is not for everyone but his videos are still informative and interesting and he does know what he is talking about. He also does race and quali watchalongs if that's your thing. Ahead of qualifying he ususally looks at some data from FP3 and analyses it on stream, but you can watch them back. He also now has a podcast but I haven't listened to a single episode no clue how good that one is.

His video about the Dutch GP is really interesting.

f1toni is on TikTok and twitch (I've only seen her TikToks) she talks a lot about F1 things in general like all aspects of F1, history, the regs, contracts and so on. And often highlights Women in Motorsport. Really worth a follow if you have TikTok.

Molly @ abunchofredf1ags on TikTok She's an engineer and makes a whole bunch of videos about again all sorts of things. Not all videos are super serious but she also explains a lot of tech things.

Twitter accounts

Sara @ _allthatglitz on twitter For Ferrari related things, has calm takes most of the time and does like a bit of analysis. Fights anyone that is remotely rude to Charles. But knows what she is talking about.

@ F1Techy Does some analysis and talks about other tech related F1 things too. For example has a post about the RB vs Ferrari strategy in Monza.

@ GuilyDuchessa He is a journalist for Formula Uno and great for general Ferrari infos and news but also writes articles where he analyses things. They are always in Italian so you if you translate it somethings are gonna sound weird but the rest makes sense. Also talks about car upgrades and their impact amongst other things.

@ ProjectF1 Does analysis on twitter and has some lovely plots.

@ ScarbsTech Tweets a lot about the technical aspects and upgrades and all sorts of technical things. He is one of the guys that does the F1 Tech Talk that is featured on F1TV.

So these are my first immediate recommendations. I'm sure I missed someone.

Let's also not forget that in a recent live stream she insisted she went down on Mikaila while she muted the microphone! Like holy shit man,this is so low. The stream wasn't even age gated! She did that after CHAT got frisky with this information.Apart from forcing her aduence to be present to this without their consent, she didn't even check with MIKAILA if she is okay with doing that / sharing information about it / joking about it (if it was a joke). What a disgusting perv

i remember that stream now. i must have blocked it out because i was just too disgusted to keep watching any longer. once again, just in case, this is not about sexuality. LO's free to be sexual about and with whom whoever or whatever she wants. if LO opened up her own OnlyFans where she regularly posted content like that or even more explicit while gaining some extra money i'd be just glad for her (assuming that MO's consenting of course) she's not free whatsoever to be a exhibitionist to people without their consent on a platform that isn't intended for that and from the same channel where she review children's cartoon. she's not free to be openly a creep and impose that onto her audience that she knows includes children but also adults who surely don't want to know her like that. being a sexual person is not an excuse to do these kind of things. don't ever let LO get away saying that it is.

Check In: Leaf

"Once again, this is my last stream of the week, but there's going to be a SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE live stream on my channel this week with a very special guest! I can't share who it is yet or what's happening, but let's say that the entire WORLD is going to mark this as a special day in the history books! So, make sure you SMASH that subscribe button!"

Iono did a swirl as the camera panned to her Magnemite hairpins

"Your eyeballs are MINE—caught in my Electroweb! Whosawhatsit? Iono the Supercharged Streamer! Catch y'all later!"

[STREAM END]

---

Leaf put her phone away after the end of the stream. She wasn't sure what was making Iono this particularly excited. Still, it was a refreshing thing to see, considering her own mood. Ever since Dawn passed away, the girl has been secluding herself more than usual. It doesn't help that the rumor mill around Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh have been filled with talks of the end of the world now that Friede has been freed.

Leaf had faith in Heidi, but she still couldn't help but have a little sense of doom with her grief.

Leaf turned to her Eevee, who was looking at her. She could tell that Eevee was worried about her -- all of her Pokémon were. They weren't going on spontaneous adventures or were helping with much research. Eevee walked up to Leaf and hopped on her shoulder before rubbing his face on hers.

"...Sorry, Eevee." Leaf shook her head and reached to grab him. "I'm... not much in the mood to play today."

Eevee dodged her and fled to her other shoulder. "[Eevoi!]"

"Eevee! Stop it. I said that I'm not in the mood right now--" Leaf went to grab him again.

"[Voi!]" Eevee dodged her hands again and jumped from behind her. He went to where Leaf stored her Pokéballs and tapped one, causing it to open.

Eevee sent out Zekrom!

Oops. Kuro feels a little cramped in this small space-- Kuro shuffled herself around a little to give herself some room.

"Kuro! Hey! Return!" Leaf went to reach for the Pokéball--

--but Kuro stopped her.

"...Hero. Before you do, let us speak outside."

"..." Leaf sighed. "Okay." Leaf recalled Kuro and left town to go in Route 1.

---

"You are... besides yourself, Hero. I understand that you are going through a lot right now."

"Well, of course I am, Kuro. Dawn's dead, Kuro, and this world is being threatened by that Arceus again... and like, I know I can trust Lacey to win but... but I'm still extremely worried.... Not to mention about the Team Rocket threat in Ultra Space that I STILL haven't gotten the chance to tell about or--"

"..."

Kuro knelt down to reach over and pet her trainer. It caused Leaf to stop.

"You are thinking about so many things. So much has happened in these past several months and it overwhelms you. As such, you have holed yourself in your home for a few weeks now and have felt powerless to do anything. Tell me, Hero. Do you believe that Dawn would wish to see you like this?"

"H--huh?" Leaf didn't expect to hear that from Kuro.

"Dawn... your friend.... She may have left this world, but she left trusting that you and the rest of her friends will continue without her -- that you all will do your part to help everyone in this world in your own way.... You each have proven as such in the past: from stopping worldly disaster to foiling the plans of evil organizations, you all have done a wonderful job in doing what you can to keep this world safe.... I may have not known your friend for long, but I could tell from the way she spoke to you that day... that she has faith in you, in all of us, that we will carry on that legacy. Please, remember that."

"..." Leaf looked away. She simply nodded.

Kuro reached towards Leaf.

"h--huh?"

"Come... Let us go. A change in scenery will be beneficial to you."

"Wh--where are we going?"

"...To meet a friend. You did mention that a new laboratory was erected in the Hoenn Region, yes? Let us visit it together to get a load off of your mind."

"...." Leaf grabbed onto Kuro's hand, prompting Kuro to toss her onto Kuro's back.

"[Voi!]" Eevee hopped on, too! Don't leave him behind.

The trio took off. Next stop: Hoenn.

Thought Process \\.001

My work brought up a serious issue today and that's expense for sports.

The NFL, for example, makes tons and tons off of taxpayers on top of what they get from everything else. We pay them to pay their players ABSURD amounts and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. In exchange, we get entertainment, or at least a percentage. Sports are declining in interest and I think part of that is very much the expense. How much does it cost to get into sports? I mean, the gear alone was one of the driving factors in me quitting soccer in my second year of high school. But attendance in the stands for these major leagues are down too because it simply costs too much and nobody but the higher class can go without taking serious damage to their bank account.

By the time you factor in decent seats and how many people you bring with you (it's kind of meant to be a family thing) and the food it costs to feed those people and the travel, it's MONDO money. I'm not into sports anyways but I still admit that it's an adverse effect, I mean I think every kid should be taken to a baseball game at some point in their life. And it's not like a baseball game should even be viewed as a deluxe experience that you can only have once in your life when you've reached your peak like Disney World or something. It's junky, it's meant to be junky because it's a local experience that's meant to be enjoyed over a weekend, much like going to the movies.

And it's not just sports either, there's just nothing fun to do with your family anymore and people wonder why this generation is so depressed, they don't know what fun is! They're blockaded from it by a paywall that they're being used to create.

My coworkers are die-hards, you could say "remember that throw in the third quarter?" and they'll know exactly what you're talking about, no context needed. They get football updates on their phones, they check the news outlets for the players, on and OFF season, doesn't matter what team. It barely even matters what sport because if they're not talking about football, it's some other sport. I once heard my coworker scream so I turned over to my his computer to see him watching golf. GOLF! And you know what they've agreed? That if it were ever taken off tv, they wouldn't care, they'd just find something else. So if it went straight streaming or live games or behind a blocked channel, they wouldn't spend a dime on it. They love the sport but can't afford its amenities. Not one of them cares to go to a game because it'll just end up hurting them worse than it helps.

#this is why they're failing #this generation #we're paying for it #sports #nfl #football #the problem today
