Recently Youtube's algorithm really wants me to watch Schindler's List and I never had so the other night I sat down and actually watched it.

Having a lot of thoughts about it but a major one I keep coming back to is how even an immensely and deeply flawed human being can go against "just following orders" and instead put in the work to actually help.

It may never be fully enough. It may never save as many as you'd hoped. But when you have a choice to either follow orders or save your fellow humans in front of you, I hope you choose the latter.

Schindler died in poverty. He was not a renown war hero nor was he at all famous or widely beloved. But he saw that he could help, even in some small way, and so he helped.

He was a Nazi who saw what the Nazis were doing to Jews and said no more. Enough. If I can even spare those under my charge, maybe a few extras, then at least I will have tried to do something about this.

I think a lot of people do not fancy this type of activism. It is messy, dangerous, and often completely thankless. Schindler survived as long as he did after the war due to those he saved helping him with donations. He was not popular in his hometown due to his association with Nazis, he was not popular in Germany, he was not popular in Argentina. His businesses all failed. His wife left him. A movie about his deeds was released several years after his death, where he would receive none of the benefits. He went to prison multiple times for simply refusing to hate Jews.

I think a lot of people like to think they're activists, but are sorely unprepared for doing this type of work, and then in truth become activists in name only. This is hard work. But without him, another thousand or so people would be on that death toll.

He took his position of extreme power- a Nazi owning a factory almost entirely operated by Jews, making oodles of money off that cheap slave labor- and said you know what? No. I'm not doing that. I can't save everyone, but as long as they are within my factory, you will not kill my workers. As long as I'm here you aren't harming one hair on the head of any Jew under my care. You're not sending or keeping them in Auschwitz. You're not randomly executing them for entertainment. They're people. You're not murdering them.

"Just following orders" they say. But they didn't have to. They could have helped. They could have did what he did, look around and say "what the fuck am I doing here", and stop. He did. They could have. They didn't.

#I think it's also intereating that he did not do it out of compassion at first #he did it because it was smart capitalism #jewish labor was super cheap and they were desperate to be considered fit to work because otherwise execution was waiting for them #only after the cleansing of the ghetto did he say whoa okay holy shit yeah no I'm not doing this anymore #that's also true of the real man the movie is about #I also think it's interesting that not everyone he saved thinks he was a good person #but even still despite his flaws they respect and admire what he did for them #his motives were not always pure #but the fact of the matter is that when he saw what was happening he chose to act against it #he did not shrug and saw welp orders are orders #nor did he succumb to hopelessness when it became difficult to keep up what he was doing

yellow / julián álvarez

summary: your mood isn't the best when your sister, the one who almost dragged you into the etihad stadium to watch coldplay, bails in the last minute. although the show wasn't bad, the highlight of the night was someone else.

wc: 1.8k words

author's note: don't ask me how i wrote so much with the 17 sec video we got from emilia. i thought it was cute so here you go!! this is so self indulgent it's insane but I DON'T CARE kajskajsk

you plopped down ungracefully into the seat, annoyed. apart from checking that the seat was the one you were supposed to be seated at, you weren't even watching your surroundings, too engrossed in the conversation you were having with your sister.

[you] said: what do you mean you've upgraded your seat?

[you] said: what about me?

[ana] said: you don't even like coldplay!

yes, it was true: you were dragged to the etihad stadium to see the band solely because your sister, ana, who worked with the man city team had gotten ahold of some tickets, and as she didn't want to go on her own, she practically begged you to come with her. as the younger sister, you would do anything for her, so you complied. but now, with the news that she wouldn't be joining you, the idea of getting up from your seat and going home was too compelling to ignore.

[ana] said: you can't go back home, though. i came with you, remember?

you could have screamed out loud, god and the rest of the souls close to where you are forbid you, if it wasn't for the cute guy that sat beside you. you couldn’t prevent your thoughts from reminiscing about taylor swift’s lyric given the boyish look that he had, with the plain white shirt joined with a grayish jacket he was wearing. “is this seat taken?” he asked kindly, signaling to your right -where your sister should be-, and you shook your head.

[you] said: you’re lucky the cutest guy in the whole fucking stadium has just sit on your place

[you] said: otherwise i would have left already

[you] said: are you talking about rúben dias?

you huff out a laugh before locking your phone for good, and focusing on the man who was seated by your side. “my sister was supposed to be on your seat”, you clarify, waving a bit your phone in the air to explain what you were laughing about. he has a confused look on his face now, wiping away the cute smile he previously had on, and you rush to explain that he’s allowed to sit there. “but she’s clearly not, so you’re good to go”.

he’s a bit more shy this time, you notice, and his english comes a bit more rough. “i’m sorry, can you speak a bit… slower? i’m not from here, and-”. you stop him with your wavering hands, and you curse yourself out for, maybe, being too enthusiastic about it, but you were never one to avoid casual conversation. much less with a stranger this cute. “wait, where are you from?”.

“argentina” he says, and you widen your eyes in response. “argentina!” you repeat effusively, clapping your hands, and although some people turn around to see what the noise is about, you don’t really care. the sight of the boy in front of you, cheeks slightly rosy due to your enthusiasm was all you could focus on. “español, no? hablo un poquito” (spanish, right? i speak a tiny bit) you say, pinching your fingers together with a very small space between, emphasizing it’s a tiny amount, and he laughs. it’s the sweetest sound you’ve ever heard, and you have to direct your eyes elsewhere to avoid your cheeks from hurting due to how big you’re smiling.

soon enough, the concert starts, cutting short you conversation with the handsome guy at your right. you notice, by this point, that you never asked for his name, and in return, he doesn't know yours either, so you have to swallow the disappointment of never seeing him again after the two hours are up. were you being dramatic? yes. could you ask for his name now? again, yes. why weren’t you doing it, then?

your thoughts bring you back to the etihad after having wandered away when you hear the familiar song, and your gaze shifts onto the wristband you’re wearing, that is now tinted in yellow. “i know this one! conozco esta!” you almost scream into his ear so he can listen to you, and he smiles, nodding enthusiastically. the whole stadium lights up, and it's a beautiful sight to see, how everyone has their arms up to enjoy the music and, at the same time, be a part of the yellow sea that paints all-over the normally light blue stadium.

always having protested against those who oppose filming concerts, you take your phone out of your pocket and proceed to open the camera on instagram. it’s still the first verse, though, so you wait until the all-too-familiar “and it was all yellow” line hits to start filming. the soft yellow glow that shines through the etihad takes your breath away in the most beautiful way, and even if you’re trying to avoid screaming your lungs out to the lyrics to avoid ruining the video, the impulse to do so is just too much. you don't just film the stage where the band is, but also the whole sight of the stadium, and you pan to your right side just in time to catch the beautiful stranger singing the “you know i love you so” part with the most beautiful smile on his face.

you don’t even realize when you post the story but you do, fingers still tingly from the warmth that spread through your body at hearing the words. they weren’t even his own, but chris martin’s, but still, something about him made you believe love at first sight might be a thing.

all nice things must end, unfortunately, because soon enough the once awaited but now dreaded ending of the show has arrived. he’s about to tell you something, you realize, but your phone starts ringing and the screen screams your sister’s name. he nods, encouraging you to take the call, and you do so, not before mouthing “mi hermana” (my sister) as to which he nods again, understandingly. 

you almost can’t understand her through the screams, barely a “best concert of my life!” and “they’re awesome!” being identified in the endless stream of unrecognizable words. its not long, though, until she finally tells you the information you didn’t want to hear. “i’m already in the car, where are you? thought you would’ve been seated and ready to go by now” she giggles, and you have to fake a laugh too, eyeing the beautiful man who was waiting for you at your side, while being on his phone to distract himself from spying onto your call. “yeah, well…” you try to explain, but it’s useless. “it’s late, y/n, i have work tomorrow!”. you sigh, defeated, and end the call after informing her that you would be with her in minutes.

he focuses on you now, after he sees you saving your phone into your front pocket, and his eyebrows furrow when he sees your deflated state, so different to what he had seen a couple of minutes hago. “i have to go,” you inform disappointingly, and he nods in understanding, even if you had said the sentence in english. “¿te puedo acompañar a tu auto? digo, no si te parece raro, solo-” (can i accompany to your car? i mean, not if you find it weird, just-). you find his ramble cute, although you don't quite grasp the words since he can speak so quickly in his mother tongue. still, the first part of the sentence has you nodding shyly, and you can’t thank enough these couple of minutes more that you gained by this.

you get there fast, unluckily, or at least faster than you would have made it on your own. he walks the stadium like he knows it, or has been here before somehow, and you realize you didn’t even ask him what had brought him to london, or what his job was.

your sister waves enthusiastically when you two make it safe and sound to your parking space, and your cheeks warm up a bit in embarrassment when he waves back. it feels like those rom-com movies, where the parent watches their kids by the window when they get home after the first date. “te veo pronto” (i’ll see you soon) he says confidently and you nod approvingly, although it doesn't come to mind right there that you, again, don’t really know his name, or got some social media profile of his, to keep in contact. when you realize this, he has already planted a shy kiss on your cheek and turned around, hands in his pockets, destiny unknown, at least to you.

“you’ve met julián!” is the first thing that comes out of ana, your sister’s mouth, after you get close enough to her to greet her with a hug. the tone is joyful and her eyes are glowing, but since the name doesn’t ring any bells for you, you furrow your brows in response. she looks at you strangely, but gets inside your car nonetheless, after you unlock it so you can both make your way home as quickly as possible. “álvarez?” she tries again, now with that person’s last name, you guess. still, no face attached to that name shows up in your mind, so you shake your head.

ana’s quick in getting the phone out of her bag. you can hear her typing furiously on her screen due to her long nails hitting the phone, but you tune her out, focusing on the road. the next time she talks, or rathers, signals for your attention, you're on a red light. it looks like she has a guy’s instagram open up, and you can read the “juliaanalvarez” on top, letting you know who the guy in the photo was.

you can’t quite grasp the fact that the beautiful stranger’s face from earlier was smiling widely at you from your sister’s phone, and much less, that he was wearing a man city kit on it, before the light turns green again, and you have to continue driving. “is he a part of the staff like you?” you ask, dumbfounded, and her palm hits her forehead like you had said the stupidest thing she has ever heard. “no, silly! he’s our second striker. haven’t you been watching our games?” she reprimands, and you smile awkwardly at her, which answers the question on his own. “oh, you so need to join me at the etihad next weekend!”.

the rest of the way is silent, given that you’re still trying to process the news. you still don't quite understand why he hasn't said anything about who he was, but realize that, maybe, he was more comfortable with remaining anonymous. your feet drive you mindlessly to your bed, and you’re laying on it when you take your phone off your pocket. you have many notifications on the lockscreen, given that you hadn't really paid attention to it since the show started, but the only one that catches your eye is from instagram.

Bloodstone Manor Location Masterpost

Okay, since the next bit of Monster Mash is gonna have to happen at/near Bloodstone Manor and Ted needs to go for a walk in the woods nearby, where do we think it is? The US and UK are the leading candidates in the fandom, but I need to pick a spot so my characters can get the fuck out of Ohio. My money is on the US, but I'm open to counterpoints.

Things to bear in mind:

1. Ulysses had a British accent. Elsa's accent is posh British. Verussa had an American accent, with some Broadway Mid-Atlantic that could suggest fancy New England OR just putting on airs. It's entirely possible one of the couple moved to be with the other, but that doesn’t settle which side of the ocean it happened on. Elsa's accent could be from a UK childhood OR a UK boarding school OR a choice to emulate her mother and annoy Verussa.

2. The house is old--or at least full of old stuff--but there's something of a history of Europeans bringing their weird-ass shit across the Atlantic and building absolutely batshit mansions in the US. Probably because there's more open space for it here.

3. The establishing shot of the rotunda shows it in hilly or mountainous terrain, with what looks like pine forest around it, and it sits on a parcel that is either big enough or far enough from neighbors that no one expects any outside response to roars, screams, explosions, etc. Either there's no one around to hear it or people REALLY mind their own business.

4. Of the hunters who make it to the funeral, one has a Scottish accent, two have American or Canadian accents, and one has what sounds like a South Korean accent (although apparently the actor was born in Argentina and moved to the US in the 90s, and I'm going off the many Korean-American voices I've heard at work, so "Korean-American" might be a better descriptor). Those are the people with connections to Ulysses and the time, resources, and motivation to show up to wherever this is. That suggests the location is most accessible to these people and not others. (Yes, I know, I've left out Jack's accent, but he was going to travel to wherever Ted was anyway; he had enough motivation that distance alone wasn't going to stop him.) North America has the numbers here; it's more likely that one Scot got on an international flight than that two North Americans did.

5. The guards are wearing "tacticool" BDUs and carrying some kind of zappy sticks or stun batons. The lack of guns is interesting and may indicate a location with stricter gun laws than the US ... or just that Verussa didn't want to accidentally kill her captive and that a lot of monsters are bulletproof anyway. The guards look and move a hell of a lot like an American tactical team and sound vaguely American when they're screaming. Would Verussa import guards, or hire local muscle? My money is on the latter.

6. Ulysses was old as balls. In the comics, he was positively ancient, and the opening narration implies he was old enough to be wearing pre-20th-century clothes in a flashback. He's definitely old enough to have gotten his hands on a nice piece of property in the UK, but also rich enough to have just bought a mountain in the US. He was also around for the last century-plus of history, and that may have affected his choice of headquarters. If the original Bloodstone Manor got bombed out during World War 2, for example, he might have moved to a less bomb-filled location.

7. Corpse Muppet! Verussa found somebody willing to turn her husband's remains into a Cryptkeeper animatronic. I have no idea whether that's a thing in the UK, but there are definitely enough weirdo taxidermists, puppeteers, and general pieces of work here that someone would take Verussa's money to do it. There are even subcultures here that traditionally sit the corpse up at the table for the wake, so it might not even be that weird to the right professional.

8. Flaming Tuba Guy is available for the funeral. Real Flaming Tuba Guy is American and takes his flaming tuba to Burning Man. I have no idea whether the UK is also a likely place to find a dude with a flaming tuba, but I have difficulty imagining a smooth process for getting a combination brass instrument/flamethrower through customs. I don't think there's a lot of international Flaming Tuba action unless private jets get involved. Wherever Flaming Tuba is from, I'm betting that's the jurisdiction where Bloodstone Manor is.

9. Jack makes it to Bloodstone Manor. Now, I've talked before about his being highly motivated and distance not being an obstacle for him, but if we assume he didn't use a magic portal or something (big if, I know), he had to go by land, sea, or air, and that takes time, no matter how motivated he is. Jack is centuries old, has a history of involvement with violence, and speaks with a Mexican accent. Wherever the Manor is, a dude matching that description was able to get there in time without setting off a ton of international alerts. The fact that Jack is as old as he is AND unknown to the hunters despite being a werewolf suggests that he prefers to keep a low profile, and by now he's practiced at it. He wouldn't want to leave a paper trail, especially when he's on a rescue mission that he knows will likely involve killing people. (I know he doesn't WANT to kill anybody, but the odds of him and Ted getting out of there with a zero body count were always slim. And he brought a bomb in his pocket.) Between his money and his accent, Jack would have an easier time moving around undetected in North America; he could reach a North American Manor by car rather than having to smuggle himself on a boat, charter a private plane (with a flight plan!), or go through customs at Heathrow or wherever. Not that he wouldn't risk getting on SHIELD's radar to save Ted, but if the hunt happened soon after Ted's capture, Jack would be more likely to physically reach the Manor in time if it were in North America.

10. Ted! Ted is at the funeral, obviously. In the comics, Ted canonically lives in the Everglades and honestly that's the best place for him. Verussa would have to have Ted transported from Florida to wherever the Manor is. All the logistical problems of moving Jack across an ocean are magnified in moving TED across an ocean. Again, it's much easier to move him within North America, which I'd consider a point in favor of a North American Manor. If the Manor were in the UK, wouldn't Verussa have gone for a victim based closer to home?

11. Sushi. "Let's do sushi; I owe you that." Apparently Jack and Ted have a history with sushi. I have absolutely no idea how common sushi restaurants are in the UK, but on the west coast of North America, you can pretty much throw a stick and hit one. (I know this because I moved last fall, and one of my first priorities in the new place was Find The Good Local Restaurants. Google was like OH, YOU WANT SUSHI?! HERE ARE TWENTY PLACES. Seriously, it's almost as common as pizza, at least in California.) I assume the boys aren't heading into a major urban center for food after their escape, so wherever Bloodstone Manor is, Jack thinks he can find a rural, exurban, or suburban sushi restaurant within a couple hours' travel (close enough that he can go, pick up their order, and make it back to Ted before raw fish goes funky). Sushi restaurants, at least in the western US, tend to be run by East Asian immigrants--part of the larger culture of immigrants starting restaurants within the first or second generation of arriving here. For stupid racist reasons, most East Asian immigration to the US took place after 1965, so there are a lot of sushi restaurants here that were established in or after the 1980s. Sushi restaurants also tend to be more common in coastal regions here, presumably because REALLY fresh ocean fish get more expensive and harder to acquire farther inland. Jack proposing sushi, if he and Ted are sitting on a log in the US, suggests they're somewhere near a coast, in a region with a sizable post-1965 East Asian immigrant population. (BTW, the reason I keep saying "East Asian" instead of "Japanese" is because a LOT of these restaurants in my area are run by Korean families, more rarely Chinese or Vietnamese ones. I've been in exactly one sushi restaurant here that was run by a Japanese family, and it was 40 years old.) Of course, I don't know shit about the takeout culture of the UK; maybe Yorkshire is full of sushi restaurants or something.

Conclusions.

Between the geography, the accents, the material culture, and the logistics, I think the balance of probability suggests that Bloodstone Manor is in North America, most likely the United States. There are multiple hilly or mountainous regions with pine forests near coasts, close enough to centers of East Asian immigration that the boys can reliably get their sushi.

So with all that in mind ...

[gadriezmannsgirl]

Hey, i love your work and i hope you 're a having a great day💞 I have a request if it's okay, i was thinking maybe something with Anto and his girlfriend/wife is argentinian maybe related to Messi and some tension during the WC finale.

Or another idea where they are experiencing some cultural differences. Maybe her showing something from her culture to his family.

Thank you💞 💞💞

Conflicted -Antoine Griezmann (x Messi!Reader)

Summary: Your French husband is at the final of the World Cup but so is your Argentinian brother, Lionel.

You were the happiest when you saw Argentina beat Croatia 3-0 and with a goal, even though it was a penalty, of your brother, Lionel Messi. You were in your hotel room with your husband, Antoine, with the Messi 10 shirt on, when that happened. He had laughed when you threw yourself at him kissing him in your celebration form.

Antoine obviously welcomed your kiss and loved the attention.

You never thought too deeply into it but you started doing it when you saw that France was beating Morocco.

It was such a hard decision for you now. You were born in Argentina, you were proud of being Argentinian and you obviously wanted for your country to win, but on the other side you had your French husband.

He had already won a WC but you were also waiting for him to win another one, he had worked so hard for this, he deserved it, he also wanted to make his country proud once more and you wanted to be there for him.

So that's how you came into the place you were being now, sat in the French side with your Argentina shirt on but a French flag tied around your neck. People were whispering at the fact of the blue and white striped shirt on the dark blue side but whoever knew Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann knew that you were sister of the first one and wife of the latest.

You were feeling funny today, you knew that at the end of the day you'd feel happy and sad at the same time however the result will be. Happy for your husband and sad for your brother and country if France wins or Sad for your husband and happy for your brother and country if Argentina wins. By the end of the day, you'll be destroyed by the social media either way.

Good thing was that you learned to not give a single shit of what people said about you on social media.

Antoine's parents and the French WAG's were understanding your position. Of course, you can imagine they feel a little betrayed but they also knew your good intentions and the fact that you wished both teams the best of luck.

"Stop stressing so much about it" Antoine had said before arriving at the stadium

You were laughing at that right now.

First half passed and Argentina was already winning 2-0, you didn't celebrated the goals made by your older brother and by Angel Di Maria... And you were also not going to celebrate France's goals.

If they scored seeing as they weren't going to do it.

Your breathe hitched everytime the ball moved from Argentina to France territory and from France to Argentina territory. This was the world's best and worst final for you.

The amount of times your stomach was tied in a knot were uncountable.

It was worse when Kylian at minutes 80' and 81' did a doublet. It was tied and both of them heading into the extra time.

At this rate you wanted to throw up. You felt the looks of the whole stadium on you, even if they were on the pitch. You felt the whispers of both countries hit on your back.

At 108' Lionel scored and ten minutes later Kylian scored too. Fucking penalties. They were heading into the penalties. Everything could happen now.

4-2, was the end result. You cried for both happiness and sadness. You couldn't see Antoine's sad face and you could imagine your brother's happiness for finally winning a WC.

After a few minutes you bolted out of the French stands and got into the pitch, both teams still there along with the family of the Argentinians.

You showed your pass and security let you in.

Your eyes scanned the whole stadium searching for the brunette of your brother and the blonde of your husband, after what felt ages looking and looking around; you finally saw them both, hugging each other. You ran towards them and finally crushed both of them in a hug

You heard both of their laughs and felt their arms wrap around you

"This past three hours were absolutely hell for me" You admitted "I'm sorry and congrats, both of you" You spoke

"Don't worry, hermanita. We understand it" Your brother spoke first "Still, thank you for the support"

"I love you both so much" You said crying "And please known I'm happy and sad at the same time. This wasn't easy"

"We known it wasn't" Antoine whispered leaving a kiss on your cheek "We thank you for putting up with it, tho" You pulled away from them kissing Antoine's lips quickly and then your brother's cheek, hugging them once more

You guess, it was your country's time. It was your brother's time. Last time you were in the French side, cheering for them and celebrating with them on their win. Now, you'll also be there but with your people. Your latina people, you'd still celebrate it.

You were hurt for your brother back in 2018, now you are hurt for your husband in 2022.

Still, you loved the fact they respected each other, both of them understanding each others position. You went to your mom hugging her tightly feeling the excitement of your fellow Argentinians, you hugged your sister-in-law and your nephews.

You hugged Angel, Rodrigo, el Dibu, Dybala, Julián and every single one of the team congratulating them and even kissing the throphy your brother put up to your lips, laughing with him.

After a while, you escaped from them and went towards your French people. The first one you hugged was Lloris, the greatest captain ever, you kissed his cheek and congratulated him for the amazing job he had done, you then went to Varane, Olivier, Théo, Kylian, Koundé, Ousmane and the rest of them, leaving last your husband who was slightly behind them watching your brother with the Cup.

You went to him, hugged your husband and kissed him once more

"I'm so proud of you, I love you so much, I'm sorry and congratulations" His arms tightened around you

"Thank you, chérie" He smiled at you "Go and have fun with them" You shook your head

"I can't have fun knowing my husband is feeling sad, I know it's a normal thing right now but I just can't. I already feeling like I'm betraying both of you"

"You aren't. You're happy your brother and country got another Cup"

"But I'm also sad and destroyed because my husband and his country lost" You shook your head "I'm feeling everything a persona can feel" He laughed lightly

"That's not healthy for the baby, you know it" Antoine's hands went to your barely shown stomach, you were four months into pregnancy and not many people knew about it

"Well, I can't exactly help it. This baby will be in the middle next WC just like his momma is"

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be" You kissed his once more before feeling a weight on your shoulder "Merde!"

"¿Cómo que merde? ¿Qué sos vos argentina o francesa, boluda?" Your brother's voice made you and Antoine laugh "Venga, que mamá quiere una foto de todos" You nod

"I can take it if you want" Anto offered as Leo laughed

"Mamá dijo todos, vos también estás incluido. Somos familia"

After a few photos and some easing things from your family's part to Antoine, they were having a good time. Not the exactly best or they were fully partying like you knew they would, for Anto's feelings and respect but you loved it and were feeling now happy seeing that despite the differences they were able to push them aside.

Football is football but family is first.

Those two were your champions- your world champions and you couldn't help but think your third one was also on its way.

[hide-in-imagination]

Ok you've written various versions of thIs so I just have to ask... What do you think is Simon and Ambar sexual experience before each other?

Oof, that's a hard question.

If we consider which countries they're both from and the average age in which people usually lose their virginities in those countries, then both of them shouldn't have been virgins by the start of the series (usually those first experiences are around 15 or 16)

BUT we have to consider their personalities too and their backgrounds, because they might not be the average teen.

If we only considered Season 3, then we'd have to say that they were not virgins because there's no fucking way with the sexual tension oozing out of them both. HOWEVER, I feel like a lot of the actors was slipping into the characters during that season, both of them 20-something adults with obvious previous sexual experience, so I feel like judging on Season 3 events would be an statistical mistake.

So, we'd have to judge based on Season 1 and Season 2 alone. In season 1, Ámbar has her 17th birthday, and it is mentioned many times, I believe, that she and Matteo had been dating for a long while previous to the start of the series, so, basing ourselves on that and, like I said, the average age in Argentina, we'd have to assume that Ámbar and Matteo had sex at some point (or, if not p-in-v sex, they at least did a lot of the other stuff that also count as sex)

The only thing that makes me question it is that, you know, Ámbar and Matteo didn't have the closest relationship from what we see in Season 1? Matteo seemed very dismissive of Ámbar and Ámbar looked like she was with him because he was cool and on the same level as her so they made sense as a couple and she loved the idea of them together more than Matteo himself. However, as many of you might know, you don't exactly need to have deeper feelings for someone to have sex with them 😂 And they were hormonal teenagers, so all they really needed was some mutual attraction and the opportunity to be alone (which I assume both of them would have plenty of considering they're portrayed as rich kids who their parents usually leave alone as long as they do well in school and stuff.) Now, would Ámbar want to be that vulnerable with Matteo? You know, the whole letting someone else see you naked and/or literally inside you. I would have to say no, she wouldn't. BUT, again, maybe she just didn't see it that way and it was just sex, just an activity that regular teenagers do with their partners, and I know that the Ámbar back then would want to 'be cool' and look cool in front of her peers, so she would definitely want to have sexual experience because, otherwise, she could look lame, especially if she'd been dating her boyfriend for a long time. It would be 'expected' of them to have sex, and Ámbar would want to meet those expectations.

So, going for that logic, I assume Ámbar did have sexual experience prior to the series. Definitely not an emotionally-based one though.

Now, let's go for Simón.

Simón is older than most characters in the show when it starts (we know because he already finished high school.) Now, it is never stated how old exactly he is (I've seen some magazines give him some age or another but, as I've been informed, those were not official), but we can assume he was either just turned 18 (Like, he turned 18 right before the start of the show) or he turned 19 at some point of season 1 that they didn't show.

If we based ourselves on the average age at which teenagers lose their virginity, and especially MALES, then there's no freaking way he would still be a virgen unless he was considered ugly or incredibly unpopular due to his personality, but I think we can agree he's neither of those things.

HOWEVER, the opposite thing to Ámbar happens here in which I think Simón would only do sexual things with someone he had an emotional connection with. He's shown as this very sensitive, golden retriever guy from the very start of the show, so while I know that that can totally co-exist with a rowdy, extensive sexual history in real life, I just can not believe that it would be the case for him. I just can't picture it.

So it all would come down to, Did Simón have a long-term girlfriend before the show? I gotta say it seems unlikely, because the only ex we're shown is Daniela, which, I believe, is mentioned they only had one summer together?? Or a summer thing that wasn't really a relationship?? You'll have to excuse me if I don't remember that right, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think Simón would go all the way with a girl he'd only been seeing for the summer. Sure, it could look 'romantic' in his head, but no way. I think it would seem too fast for him, and he also wouldn't want to get too deeply invested in a relationship that he knew was not going to last beyond the summer.

In addiction to this, we're also led to believe that Simón has been in love with Luna for a looong time and he just hadn't realized it yet. (Whether that's true or if it was everyone's insistence that made him start looking at his feeling for Luna that way, is up to you to decide.) If that's true, maybe that would make it a little difficult for him to have girlfriends ?? Like, maybe that's why he only had short flings during the summer with girls because deep down his heart already belonged to another ???? I have no idea honestly. I do imagine he had crushes and, like I said, short relationships with girls throughout his life (because he's too much of a romantic and too cute for him to NOT have had dates during school and stuff) but I don't think he ever dated one for like a year or something, unless it was like from 14 to 15, or from 15 to 16, I guess that could be possible, and then he had his fling with Daniela in the summer of his 17 year and that would be all.

So. Considering all this. Did Simón have sexual experience before the show? ....A little, maybe. Like I said, p-in-v sex is not the only way to have sex with someone else. Simón could have, I don't know, done some dry-humping with a girlfriend before?? Again, because they're hormonal teenagers and the age at which MALES, specifically, do those things is usually even lower than girls. I think some petting over the clothes during a makeout session is more likely. At much he touched a boob. And at much he received a hand job if he happened to have an experienced older girlfriend, but I think that's it.

Maybe I'm not being realistic enough and I'm picturing him too innocently. (I've received comments in Wattpad from south american readers who are firm believers both Simón and Ámbar had sex before the show because there's no way they would've have at their age.) You'll have to excuse me if you believe that's the case, but I just can't see Simón having sex with someone before the show. Like, with the way his character is portrayed, I just can't see it. And, you know, I'm a 26-year-old girl with a lot of outside knowledge but personally I didn't even kiss anyone during my teenage years, so it's easy for me to imagine others also not doing it 😂 I think the answer to this question you asked me, anon, can differ a lot depending on the personal experience of the person receiving it.

IN SUMMARY. What do I think Simón and Ámbar's sexual experience was before each other? For Ámbar, I think she had sex before. Maybe not all the way but most probably yes. For Simón, I think he was a virgin.

(Again, all of this is not taking season 3 into account because if we did, both of them would obviously not be virgins anymore.)

I don't know what everyone else thinks. Do you agree with me or do you have your reservations? To be clear, it's not like I'm 100% sure of this assessment either. I like to play with all possibilities of this in my fics and I'm not married with an specific headcanon. The analysis I made in this post is only me using logic and trying to be as unbiased as possible, but I'm a human being and I can totally fail.

Thank you for your question, anon. I hope you have a good day 🌷

May I ask for some headcanons for your thoughts on what would happen if Germany, England, and Prussia were all romantic yanderes for the same human darling? I imagine Germany and Prussia would probably team up or something. Thank you! (Also, love your work!)

SHARING A DARLING: ENGLAND, GERMANY AND PRUSSIA.

you're absolutely right, germany and prussia would share their darling if they shared the same obsession, no matter what the scenario was.

when it pertains to countries capable of sharing their beloved darling with others, i think the more powerful nations are least likely to come to an agreement - can you imagine arthur sharing during the british empire? mongolia during the yuan dynasty? grandpa rome during hadrians reign? hell nah.

whilst in hp, the yandere's might share their darling out of care for the darling, these are nations we're talking about here. they most likely have a darling who is also a nation, no one is in their right mind here.

current day england wouldn't be too keen on sharing either, but he hasn't exactly had his fall from grace like mongolia, or rome. he's still alive and kicking it and a global power, albeit not as much as he once was.

would he share with the likes of latvia, argentina, iceland, mongolia or hong kong? no, why would he. unless his darling is a superpower that wants to pursue a relationship with a weaker country, what are they going to do (sabotage, arthur).

but germany is a different story, brexit doesn't change the fact that germany is a major world power these days. gilbert would get laughed at if ludwig didn't agree to share with him. but honestly, gilbert is a bit of a second class citizen in this sitatution, assuming it's post ww2. yeah he can sleep in the same bed as his darling but does he get to make any decisions about the relationship? not unless he irritates ludwig into negotiating with england.

so bottom line, they could come to a 'peaceful' agreement, after years of back and forth, attempting to sway the other away from the darling. but once the deal is set and done? it's much easier if the darling is a human or minor country, easier to keep them at either arthur or ludwig's house at all times.

romantically, they are both awkward as fuck - okay arthur has a bit more slick and experience, but overall, darling couldn't have ended up with a worse pair (they could've: rusger), prussia isn't much better. sure, he might act like a bigshot, but mans been a dedicated catholic his whole life who's closest romantic experience was when he tagged along to one of austria and hungary's date nights, circa 1900. he only knows how to handle one kind of sword, there's a reason germany turned out so strict.

honestly, there's probably little indication to the darling that the relationship is in fact romantic, when at arthurs they have to make him tea, at germany's they help sort out his paperwork, aside from morning kisses and sharing a bed, there's nothing particularly romantic about this relationship. gilbert spends most of his time with his darling playing video games, so when they are in their romantic, affectionate moods, the darling is in for quite the shock.

I like that some sensed people are still able to recognize that whether Erling Haaland or Leo Messi take the award home, it's valid. Changes from all the others ~ wave hand in a general direction ~ people. Not even to mention how past and current football figures agree on it too. Soothes my mind.

Honestly I'm just tired of talking about it, since 1) it's silly 2) it's settled 3) it's simple. Let's make it plain.

"Why not just put the goals?"

There are awards for the best goalscorer. This isn't one of them.

Brief comparison

Haaland had a maddening records breaking season, won the treble, but didn't show up for the semi and finals of those. Messi did an average club season (equal to, if I remember correctly, the "excellent" season of Antoine Griezmann so, there's that.) and an all-time World Cup campaign. It's a WC year; it has since after 2010 (year of change of criterias + voting participants) weighted on the BO's results.

The reason it's a close call this year is cause of the treble (huge weight) balanced by the ghosting of Haaland during those crucial points vs WC all time balanced by the average club season of Messi. Haaland being a 9 means that when he's not there, he doesn't do anything for the team. Stems from his position. Whereas if Messi doesn't score, he still has his passing and playmaking which, picture me surprised, actually make him having more impact as a player for his team.

Look at the pic. Make the needed mental gymnastics. To get to the conclusion that one of them is robbing the other is mental. Both are deserving.

WC's weight

It's ultimately this and the WC's weight (and I sure ain't about to get into an argument comparing the treble, insane achievement that can be achieved every year, to the WC, insane achievement that can be achieved once every four, and being the MOTT of said tournament) that makes it tip towards Messi, even though I expect the votes to be close. The WC has been held over Messi's head for more than a decade. Everyone knew that if he put a consistent season and a good WC campaign, he'd been a strong contender. He had a consistent season and had an all-time, MOTT WC campaign. Point's made.

Criteria : Vital role

Another point: the "vital role in the team and honours" criteria. Haaland makes this City team dominate, not a shadow of doubt. But Kevin de Bruyne is the one that's vital to it. Take away KDB and Haaland isn't there (once again: stems from his position. He's a 9.)

Due to his national team not being in the WC (which once again : he's indeed from Norway, a NT which hasn't much WC history. But, in 2018, Messi single handedly drew Argentina to the WC. Haaland wasn't capable of this.), he couldn't prove himself to be crucial there either. So, Haaland is important but not vital to this City team, whereas Messi was important in PSG (a-fucking-gain, 40 G/A, this isn't an argument) and vital for his NT. There you go, one criteria more.

Sweet sweet "robberies"

When you got R9, Wenger, Henry, some France NT (Griezmann and others, can't recall), Hazard, Silva and co - current/former players who played and know the weight of the WC - saying Messi deserves it; the club coach of Haaland saying they'd both deserve it ; and you arrive to the conclusion that Messi is robbing Haaland (or, for that matter, that Haaland would be robbing Messi), then the true reason of your positionning can't be clearer.

And finally,

Those are what you call robberies. Can't be one when both deserve it. Haaland will be just fine and will have plenty of WC-free seasons to destroy every records available and show up at crucial points. Chill. I'm done talking about this, people are to stuck to their own opinions to be changed atp.

This is a fun night, I'm so ready to make fun of everyone's fit and awkward talk. It ain't that deep. Hope everyone, whether for Haaland, Messi or bloody Musiala has fun!

I remember writing something like 'their face expression when I'm talking to them' which still stands today xD no but seriously, I'm still insecure and sometimes worry about how do people perceive me, but I think it also has to do to the fact that I like face expressions and structures a lot lol

21-Kageyama turns into a kid!

As night came something unexpected happen which is, yes you got it right Tobio turns back to his teenager self.

Tobio snore cutely as his size comes back as the clothes well let just say it was torn a bit as Tobio grew back to his original self but when they wake up let just say, well you will know soon when they be awake....

Morning comes Tobio wakes up as he blinks away his sleep as he looks around as his face appears confuse as he pouts wonder what just happen to him as Tobio saw the banner that says his first name and wonder to himself 'Sorry.... For what though.'

Tobio gets sits up as look around and saw everyone sleeping interesting positions, he looks down and saw that his half naked, he blushes and shouts "WHAT THE FUCK!?"

Everyone who heart the shout shoots up and looks around the source of the shout until their eyes land on Tobio his usual scowl face but instead of that Tobio blushing of his nice physical body no baby fat as their eyes widens and shout "KAGEYAMA/TOBIO-CHAN/TOBIO-KUN/BABY OWL/KITTEN!"

"S-stop staring you perverts." Tobio still blushing as he grabs the blanket to cover his naked body to keep away from the guy's eyes as the guy's blushes and look away to avoid that they didn't just see anything at all. "W-why am I naked?" Tobio stutters as he looks away embarrass.

"Umm you don't want to know" Suga reply as he scratches his cheeks gently.

Kuroo took his spare shirt then give it to Tobio to wear "Here you go kitten." Kuroo has blush on his cheeks as Tobio took his shirt then mumble a quick thanks.

"Umm can you guys turn away." Tobio said.

All the teams turn around but they can't help be jealous want Tobio to wear their shirt as Tobio put on the shirt that Kuroo give as the shirt was too big on him as Tobio reply "You can turn around now." Tobio put shorts on before they could turn around to face him.

So, they did and well it looks cute on him even though Tobio back to his size again until they snap back as Tobio asked them "So what is this all of sudden? What happen?"

"Well, you believe what happen Yamayama you turn into a kid. You were really adorable as a toddler size."

"Huh!" Tobio look at Hinata as he hides behind Tsukishima figure to hide from Tobio glare again.

"Its true king, you sure were a handful as a kid."

Tobio looks away with a bit sadness in his eyes, Tsukishima felt guilty then said "But you weren't a bad kid though." Tobio look at Tsukishima again as he nods.

"Okay, lets play volleyball!" Tobio said as everyone smile as other either grins or shake their heads knowing that their hearts beat fast and want to be with Tobio longer even if he gets heart breaks and others things, they all will be with his side no matter what and maybe asked Tobio sister...I mean future sister-in-law for hand in marriage.

"Sure, lets play!"

Everyone gets change as Tobio has to wear Kuroo shirt and someone shorts who happens to be Akasshi ones who seems to be happy that he wore his clothes but doesn't want to show it, don't want to be like a creep to their crush after all.

As time move forward, cheery blossoms grows as everyone spend their time with Tobio to get to know him again even his past self as well and lets not forget that Miwa was happy for her little brother to be with the people who loves him as she knows that each one falls in love with Tobio, who knows what the future may hold for them but they do know that Tobio is the light to their dark days even if he has a scowl on his face but he sure cares about them all. Tobio such a tsundere but he does care about them all, Tobio smile a little to his Japan team as they are up against Argentina.

"Ready Kageyama/Tobio/Tobio-kun!"

"Let's do it! Our team will win this Olympics."

Everyone on the Japanese team smile at Tobio even Oikawa even though he may be in different team but the love they had for volleyball and Tobio is just memorable for each one of them.

 After all memories can be happy, sad, any emotions as long they keep it to their hearts no matter what journey may lead you!

So Argentina is a colonial state, does that also apply that to all of Latin America? Or is Argentina uniquely bad compared to Bolivia where a large part of the country is Indigenous and the average person has big connections to Indigenous culture. I know they both came up because of colonization but I am not the most informed on Latin America as a French person. I know, EW. What really makes a country I guess i what I am asking. And in what ways to these Latin American countries benefit from their colonialism? Like if Argentina is the same as England how so? Why is it poor like the rest of Latin America? What makes Latin America different but also the same? Do they get treated like western countries in world politics (just Argentina maybe?? TBH I dont know a lot about Argentina)? I am so confused on everything but I want to learn.

There is... no I way can come remotely close to answering all of this, so I'm going to only answer the parts I feel I'm informed enough to answer.

What makes a country a colonialist power? How do colonialist powers benefit from their colonialism?

This is a lot and a very controversial question that there's no definitive answer to. but imo, a colonialist country is one whose government has a history of systematic exploitation and genocide against a minority group, particularly if that history is after the mid 15th century and the minority is considered somehow foreign to the majority. all of this applies solidly to Argentina the same way it does the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia: large populations of European settlers came from overseas, displaced the natives, and exploited African slave labor. The Argentine government (both under Spanish rule and upon independence), like the US, Canadian, and Australian governments (idk NZ's history but wouldn't put it by them either), have a history of conscious eradication efforts against the targeted minorities. Argentina benefits from its colonialism the exact same way the US et al do: more land, free labor, general racist sentiment (since even recently they're still dealing with significant white supremacist nationalist and they're not fringe groups either).

What makes Argentina different but also same as countries like Bolivia?

I'm not informed enough to speak for Bolivia but I'd take a wild guess that, unlike Argentina and the US, its majority population probably didn't come over from Europe after the mid 15th century, and that that majority population was or still is exploited by a smaller, more powerful minority (foreign or not), rather than the majority population exploiting a minority. That's what I would assume but, again, I'm not informed about Bolivia.

Why is Argentina poor?

I don't know that I'd describe them as poor by global standards; they're about in the same bracket as Poland, Romania etc, which is juuuuuust above the world average. In any case Argentina's economy used to be very strong! And then it started having some economic struggles, as countries often do, which were magnified when their military junta made the BRILLIANT decision to distract their people from it by starting a war. With Britain. Over the Falklands. Which it had held between August 1829 to January 1833 (barring a month where the US just....... dissolved the Falklands government for some reason?????? what in the fucking world--). Anyway.

Is Argentina treated like the West?

In what way? How are you defining West in this particular context? Economically, culturally, or Cold War alignment? Etc.

Because in most ways I'd say yes, with a caveat: Argentina is a regional power, and their region is very very isolated; recall that the southern hemisphere is inhabited by only 10%-12% of the world population, and Argentina is particularly far south. So really it just depends what context, what countries, what time period, etc. For example, the US is going to see Argentina VERY differently than eg France, because Argentina is in the Western hemisphere where US influence is dominant (and domineering). But countries like, say, Mongolia probably don't have much of an opinion at all on Argentina. There's also the fact that most USAmericans simply know next to nothing about Argentina anyway, but frequently treat all of Latin America as non-West due to Cold War ties.

What makes Latin America different but also same [from Argentina]?

Sorry, I sorta answered this but because I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, I'm gonna answer it again in case I misinterpreted your question.

So, some definitions:

Latin America: cultural grouping defined by countries in the Americas where the main languages are languages that derived from Vulgar Latin (ie Spanish, French, and Portuguese, but not German etc). So that's Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Brazil, Argentina, Haiti etc etc etc but not the US or Canada. I'm really not sure why Canada's Québécois population doesn't count but Haiti's does? Weird

South America: a geographical term describing a continent defined by the Colombia-Panama border; everything on Colombia's side is South America....

Central America: .... And Panama's side marks the Central Americas from Panama up to Mexico, which is not part of Central America.

North America (1): as a continent, everything north of the Colombia-Panama border, including the Caribbean, up to the Arctic Circle.

North America (2): a subgrouping of North America that isn't very consistent because sometimes it includes Mexico and sometimes it doesn't. I've personally always seen it used as including Mexico and the Caribbean but some people use it just for the US, Canada, Greenland, Bermuda, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Idk there or why anyone wouldn't include Mexico.

Help.

Do you support any clubs or just Arg nt? I can't figure out if you're a Barcelona fan or not lmao. Do you support any other club? Like in the PL or something.

good question! considering how scattered this blog is in terms of what clubs i post about lmao

before barça fumbled leo in 2021 i was, no questions asked, a culer. i loved the kind of football they played, the chemistry between the players, and most importantly: their chemistry with leo; would watch their games late at night with my dad if my class schedule permitted me to since, what, 2015? after 2021 i stopped watching or even keeping up with barça bc the fact that leo was no longer part of their lineup seemed like a gross violation of some fundamental law of the universe that i was too bitter about to subject myself to. in fact, i didn't have the heart nor strength to tune in to psg either, even if it was for messi. suffice it to say, after his teary press conference i was kind of done with club football in general

however, after the world cup, and after leo being absolved of his sin of failing to win an international trophy for argentina, i decided i had (somewhat) made peace with barça and watched my first barça game in months: barça vs espanyol, overseen by one infamous mateu lahoz (lmao). this was also when i started watching psg bc i didn't want to miss out on any one of leo's games anymore. on the side, i tried keeping up with the matches any member of the arg nt participated in bc this was during my semester break and i had the time. but as of now, with university bodying me, i watch psg (only if messi starts for them) and barça, and keep up with the scoreline of the teams the rest of la scaloneta play for

as for PL clubs, i'm partial to city! bc pep and julian tax lmao (even though they're also currently the only ones to pose a real threat to messi's 8th ballon d'or charge.................. baldy if you fuck this up for leo i stg)

tldr: my feelings for barça are a bit muddled and complicated but i was never quite able to divorce them (thanks, messi). so other than them, i don't have much interest in any other clubs (psg notwithstanding— that's a hostage situation)

#PL in general doesn't move me tbh. atp other than barça i support players (and one bald manager) more than i support actual clubs #i'd say bottom line is im messi fc above everything else lmao #bc if city's a threat to messi im going against them too sorry juli and sorry not sorry baldy -_- #this response is so rambly but i hope my answer was satisfying anon! #asks

Omg what did you learn I need to know I NEED to

ok ok ok ok i am completely deranged over all of this information so bear w me bc this is might be incomprehensible !!!

first, just to clarify, i didn't actually get the book and i don't know japanese. i'm getting all this info from translators on twitter who do have it and actually know what's happening. the main threads i was following are by @/palaboras , @/soukatsu_ and @/TrianaNero ! (links go to the threads)

(also this is obvious, but manga spoilers ahead)

anyways!! my main takeaways!!!!! holy shit there is SO much !!!! ok ok

bokuto went to university and graduated, but furudate does not have a reason why ( i am frothing at the mouth i NEED more information about this)

kiyoomi being on the jackals was literally decided on a coin flip between jackals and adlers (a coin toss literally created 10k fics. i hate it here [affectionate])

oikawa was created bc the editor was like "we need a hot character" and then furudate proceeded to create one of the most significant and hard hitting character arcs in the entire manga

oikawa uses nicknames as either a form of affection (iwa-chan) or as a way to distance himself (ushiwaka, tobio-chan)

this being said, apparently iwaizumi's name was a later decision and that's how the nickname iwa-chan came about, but if his name was decided earlier on then oikawa might have used a different nickname

udai quitting volleyball was always planned, but his appearance in the manga was only bc the editor encouraged it

atsumu went pro right after high school! stan

kuroo and oikawa had never interacted before the all-star match (can u hear me screaming at the fact that kuroo fucking flew to argentina to talk up this man he had NEVER met😭😭)

kuroo and kenma could have been the protagonists !!

match ups in tournaments weren't planned in advance (getting the vibe that. a lot of little things were conceived as they went along, which feels insane to me bc it all comes together SO good)

natsu captain of niiyama !!!!!!!!! she rly did that !!!!!!

apparently furudate is working on something new? i am shaking

(inter) miami (another bro trip)

you know, sometimes it pays to be spontaneous. but sometimes not. this is the latter...

in 2022 the world witnessed argentina and messi winning 2022 qatar world cup in the most dramatic fashion. and the g.o.a.t. joined inter miami in 2023. messi then carried the team to the league cup title and then carried the team to the u.s. open cup final. and the final was vs. houston dynamos (who? houston dynamos). my bro and i just could not miss the opportunity to watch messi in person, in miami. it was once in a life time opportunity. after several days of back and forth, we both said fuck it - we're going. our wonderful wives supported the trip and funded part of it as our birthday gifts.

perfect. everything was perfect.

we were monitoring messi's condition. he came back from the international duty and took a few games off due to a minor injury. well, this upcoming game was the u.s. open cup final - an opportunity to win another title. the game was in miami - an opporunity to lift the trophy in front of the home fans. perhaps he could start on the bench, get subbed in, earn a free kick, and score to deliver the second trophy. the perfect scenario.

perfect. everything was perfect.

bro and i landed in fort lauderdale. inter miami's small dinkey stadium is actually in fort lauderdale, not miami lol. we had good lunch and drinks at no man's land, rested, headed out to dinner and drinks at an arcade. we were so surprised but had blast playing tekken against each other in 2023, on an old school arcade machine. we had our messi t-shirts on and headed to the stadium. it was crowded and popping. we make our way into the stadium and started getting hyped up.

perfect. everything was perfect.

and shiet.... we see the starting line up. messi was not in it. we see the bench. messi was not there either. we check again and again... and messi was no where to be found. damn the national team games - messi's injury playing against bolivia was actually serious enough where he didn't even dress up.

fuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkk

oh well, we just downed some beer and watched the game. nothing we can do. and inter miami stunk it up. they sucked... and dynamos beat them pretty easily. we left the stadium early and went to a bar for quick night cap. after a few thousand dollars and weeks of anticipation and build up, we didn't even see messi's back. oh well... shit happens.

what can i say - i miss you ronaldo =)

I've been to Rio once and it's such a fun place filled with lovely people and lovely vibes! Brazilians in general are just the best, they're so funny and so nice and kind idk. And I agree with your mum that the food is great. I do know the city is reportedly unsafe and has a lot of crime and stuff but tbh I didn't feel any of that when I went. I was only there for a few days though.

Sorry for the incoming essay (long car ride again) but urgh I really really feel for Brazilian Swifties 💔 all of us in Latam had collectively been wanting her to come on tour for SO long and many of us had been waiting 15+ to get the chance to see her live. Brazilian swifties deserved to have a lovely experience just like we did in Mexico and Argentina. The heat wave prolonging was extremely unfortunate but genuinely fuck t4f for always being so shitty to their clients. A Brazilian moot told me that after the LoverFest fiasco where they didn't get a refund for their tickets, they were all pretty scared that she wouldn't include Brazil in the Latam leg bc she clearly doesn't like to work with shitty/unreliable companies since she's so organized, so they were all so happy that she decided to come. She also told me that all fans who had bought LoverFest tickets got early access and cheaper prices for eras, like they had priority in line over everyone else which is only fair tbh and they were grateful for that. She also told me that this isn't the first time someone has died in at an event held by t4f, the company has historically been very irresponsible and negligent. Apparently they have been sued in the past too but they always win their cases cos they have good lawyers and connections, which really really sucks for Ana's family bc lawyers and going to court in general is very fucking expensive and they genuinely have a right to sue the fuck out of t4f and the venue. Who knows if they have the financial means to do so but I really hope they do.

Taylor and her team imo are in no way responsible for Ana's death but the way they're handling the situation isn't right either. I do think it's true that her mentioning Ana directly and/or publicly giving money to the family could be used in court as evidence of her admitting to guilt or as an attempt to bribe the family to get them to speak in her favor in court. Or well, at least my auntie who is a family lawyer and has close friends who are criminal defense lawyers thinks so (I asked her yesterday lol). I really do hope she has reached out to them privately and contributed anonymously to the fundraiser to help the family get her body back home. We may never know what happened privately though. I also agree that it isn't a good idea for her to post on main about it (bc again could be taken as admission of guilt) but Tree should 10000% put out a presser saying something like "Taylor loves her Brazilian fans and cares very deeply for them. She extends her biggest condolences to Ana Clara Benevides Machado's family and friends, and strongly laments that something so unfortunate happened during a show that is about bringing joy and happiness to everyone. She cares very very much for her fans and her goal is always for everyone to have a wonderful time. It's extremely unfortunate that conditions that were completely out of her control led to such a tragedy happening." and then something like "Taylor did not know about the incident until after the show culminated. She was absolutely devastated and upset but knew she had to do her best to give the attendees of the remaining two concerts, who had been waiting for this for so long and spent a lot of money, the best show she could. She is still very anguished by Ana's death and asks that the media and fans be discreet about attention to her own personal life out of respect to Ana and her family, who deserve to mourn accordingly and receive all the support from this community during this difficult time."

Taylor will probs be sued too. Not by Ana's family but by n2 attendees who waiting in line for 5 plus hours in the heat only for the concert to be rescheduled.

N2 attendees are def gonna sue lol.
