**reposted bc tumblr is messing up the tags & nobody can view it. sigh.

..

It all started when a friend of yours had recorded you singing in your school’s bathroom during senior year.

7 years ago, you wouldn’t have believed it if somebody told you that you would be a 13-time Grammy nominated artist, as well as having 6 of that very award sitting on your shelf at your childhood home – one for Best Artist, and one for Album of the year.

You would have laughed even.

But it wasn’t a joke nor was it a dream you wished to never wake up from; it was as real as life could be.

You were successful in the industry and if any of your fans were asked, they would say that it was because of your immense talent and unproblematic, empathetic, kind character.

It was one of the many reasons why so many people on the internet had shipped you with a certain English man, him having been only 20 when you went viral and got signed.

A year into the industry, it was one day when you remember your Twitter notifications going crazy;

“HARRY STYLES JUST SAID HE LOVES YOUR MUSIC AND THINKS YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL”

“omg pls tell us you watched 1d’s interview with jimmy kimmel”

“IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING! CAN YOU PLEASE BE TOGETHER ALREADY???”

Looking back at that memory, you remember how you were a shaking and overwhelmed mess as you had clicked on the link everybody was sending you.

The video had begun with the audience cheering as the camera was on Jimmy and the 5 men near him.

And there he sat; in a black suit with a white shirt underneath, medium-length hair looking like he had run his fingers through many times, his hands clasped as he looked at Jimmy.

“Who’s most likely to let a woman split the band?” Jimmy had asked.

They had looked at each other, not answering for a moment before Niall chimed in with a laugh as he pointed at Harry, “Harry would let his celebrity crush do that.”

Harry rolled his eyes jokingly as his bandmates agreed and laughed, slapping his hands against his thighs in feigned annoyance.

“Who is that? Who’s your celebrity crush?”

“Just this talented person.” He had tried to smile his way through the question, but no one was having it.

“You know Y/N Y/L/N? She’s an amazing singer,” Louis told Jimmy.

“Y/N!” Jimmy beamed, “We had her on the show two weeks ago.”

“Yeah, he watched that.” Liam had gestured towards Harry.

Hiding his face in his hands for a moment, the audience cheered as his friends continued to laugh.

“She’s amazing, isn’t she?” Jimmy asked Harry in a teasing manner.

Having had decided to get it over with, Harry nodded as he clasped his hands together again, “She’s very talented and beautiful.”

“Lovie, can you help me with the necklace? My nails are still drying.”

You looked up from your place on the couch, sitting in your long dress looking so beautiful that Harry had lost track of time of getting into his own suit because he was too busy giving you a photoshoot on his phone.

Standing up, you reached and clasped his necklace for him, dusting his shoulders to signal that you were done.

Turning, you were met with your boyfriend of 4 years beaming at you before he leaned to press his lips against yours.

“You look so good.” You smiled up at him, “So beautiful.”

“Have to try to catch up with how you look tonight,” he replied with a wide smile, “Nervous?”

“Not really.” You admitted.

Amusingly and completely and utterly in love, Harry tilted his head slightly, “Any reason why you’re not? You usually hate those.”

It was true. You didn’t really like award shows because of how tiresome all the process was; hair, makeup, dressing up, walking only to pause every second, the repeated questions you have been answering for years, how more judgmental the world was on nights like these.

But it was always when Harry was able to be by your side that you liked the night, and the tall man knew it, but he had always loved hearing you say it.

To feed his ego, you wrapped your arms around his neck, “Because you’ll be there.”

“Music to my ears.” He joked, shaking his head slightly.

“Just feeding that already overfed ego of yours, baby.”

“Excuse you.” He pecked your lips, “Let me add food for Evie then we can leave.”

“I’ll do it, don’t mess up your nails.” You patted his chest before moving away to attend to your cat.

The fans and reporters all had anticipated the moment of yours and boyfriend’s arrival, and the both of you knew it.

You were fairly private with your relationship. While everyone knew you were together, the both of you didn’t always post about one another but when you did, it went viral – something you and Harry, shamelessly, enjoyed.

It was why during moments like this, everyone was eager. Reporters were hungry for content, all having different intentions, but you spend enough time in the industry and you sort of begin knowing what to say and how to say it.

Harry was scheduled to perform, something everyone knew of, but it was the fact that you were joining him not on the red carpet, but on stage that they didn’t.

Getting out of the car together, the screams and flashing lights were then doubled.

Harry closed the door behind you with a polite smile to the security standing. Bending a little, he adjusted your dress’s short train for you as you looked back at it before you looked up at him.

As if they weren’t snapping pictures like crazy yet, you reached and fixed Harry��s hair at the front, his eyes looking up with a smile as you did so.

“Thanks, love.”

With that, Harry placed his arm around your waist as you walked to the first spot on the red carpet.

“When was the last time we appeared together? They’re going mad.” You whispered, looking at Harry as he smiled to the cameras.

He chuckled, looking at you, “I think we deprive them too much.”

“Let’s give them enough content to last a year.”

Nobody but the both of you knew what you meant, and it was why the flashing lights and camera shutter sounds were then tripled the moment Harry’s lips were on yours in a soft kiss.

“Can we sign stuff?” You asked a woman standing on the sides, “Can we see the fans?”

When she nodded at you, you and Harry ignored posing for a few minutes to converse and meet fans.

“I love you and Harry so much!” One fan said shakily as you signed a paper for him.

“Thank yo- Hey! I saw you in Amsterdam last year, right?” You grinned.

And that was another thing not only your fans loved about you, but Harry, too.

You were no stranger to connections. You were no stranger to making people feel seen and treating them in a way that no fan expected to be treated – a friend, and you remember friends.

“Harry, do you think Y/N will win Songwriter of the Year?” A fan asked.

Harry shrugged with a smile, “I hope so but we all know she is anyway.” He waved his hand with a joking manner, making the closest fans laugh.

“What about you? Do you think you’ll win Artist of the Year?”

“I don’t know,” he smiled, “There are so many amazing artists. I wish them all the best.”

“He’s a humble man,” you teased, patting his shoulder, “We all know he is anyway.”

You were confused as they, Harry included, laughed in shock. “What?”

“He literally has just said the same thing about you.”

You laughed, looking at Harry, “Shut up, no way!”

“The both of you have been doing that for years.” One fan commented with a grin, “It’s adorable. It’s like telepathy or something.”

“Oh yeah, we are telepathic,” Harry nodded, “It gets a little scary sometimes.”

“Heeey!” You laughed, “It’s actually helpful. One of us would be just walking at home and we’d look at each other and know that the other just means something like “feed Evie” or “take out the trash””

“This is so cute!”

“Harry, what are you performing tonight?”

“You’ll find out in a bit.” He pointed.

Shortly, you and Harry had to take more pictures and do interviews before you were escorted inside.

It was the little moments that fans also lived for; how Harry held your hand as you sat so discreetly, how the both of you chatted and giggled among one another and those around you, how Harry fist-bumped the air the moment your name was called to receive your award of Songwriter of the Year before kissing you. It was how they knew this was real – how love wasn’t something you only listen people sing about or write novels for.

It was in how Harry’s eyes didn’t move from you as you gave your speech, a wide smile on his face and eyes resembling twinkling stars for crying out loud.

It was in how you ended your speech with: “This is to the man who has inspired and pushed me forward to write every single day. I love you.”

It was in how you looked more nervous than Harry himself when his category was called before you were the first to get out of your seat with a happy “yes!” once they announced that he won.

It was in how Harry cupped your face that moment to kiss you before walking to receive his award.

It was in how you remained standing, those behind you only smiling instead of being annoyed, with your hands clutched together against your heart, tearful eyes, and the brightest smile in the room.

“You’re going to tell me this is cheesy,” Harry chuckled slightly, giving a shrug as he looked at you, “But I wouldn’t be standing here, holding this, if it weren’t for you. I love you, too.”

But then Harry was about to perform and you weren’t in your seat.

The award show had decided to make a skit of it, the host being Miley had held her microphone as she stood in the empty isle beside yours and Harry’s empty seats.

“We know Harry Styles is performing in minutes,” she said, looking at the camera with a playful smile, “But where is Y/N Y/L/N? We know, we know,” she nodded, “Probably backstage for some extra good luck but-” people laughed, causing Miley to pause and chuckle, “But seriously, guys. There’s a show and it must go on.”

“It’s going on.” Harry said from backstage into his mic before the stage went dark.

It wasn’t until piano tunes sounded that the arena grew dim, a spotlight on the piano at the center of the stage where you sat, your fingers gentle against the keys as you played the beginning notes of Falling.

“I'm in my bed,

And you're not here

And there's no one to blame

But the drink in my wandering hands.” Harry sang as he came on stage, holding the mic in his hand before taking a seat beside you.

Everyone had expected him to sing the next verse, but it wasn’t his voice that they then heard.

“I'm in my bed

Instead of yours

Cried to sleep turned off all of lights and locked all of the doors.” You sang, eyes on the piano keys.

“Forget what I said

It's not what I meant

And I can't take it back

I can't unpack the baggage you left.” His eyes were on you, body turned slightly towards you as he felt like the both of you were in your living room in front of your white piano.

“I replay what you said

Don’t know if it’s true

Left with two broken hearts and there’s nothing that we could undo.” You sang, closing your eyes as you got ready for the chorus.

“What am I now? What am I now?

What if I'm someone I don't want around?

I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm falling.”

“What am I now? What am I now?

Don’t want to cry ‘cause I can’t stand the sound

I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm falling.”

The both of you sang together, your voice being softer and quieter than Harry’s.

“What if I'm down?

What if I'm out?

What if I'm someone you won't talk about?

I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm falling.”

“What if I'm down? What if I'm out?

What if you’re someone I can’t live without?

I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm falling.”

It was a version nobody had heard before, and it was why everyone was quiet, the only sound coming from you, Harry, and your lone instrument.

It was something you had written together following a rough patch of your relationship, and everyone knew that it was more personal with the way the both of you sang.

When his eyes weren’t closed, Harry sang as he looked at you, and he knew that performing this song meant more to the both of you than anyone could imagine. One look at your face and Harry knew you were reliving the night of when the both of you had written this; eyes a little red from crying, bodies hot, Harry wearing a hoodie of yours while you sat in your underwear with his purple fluffy robe on.

“Can I do this alone without ever needing you again?”

“And I get the feeling that you'll never need me again.”

You both sang the bridge together, yours being shorter than Harry’s note as you carried a softer tone, closing your eyes as you played the piano, feeling your throat close up before gulping.

He knew.

It was why the final chorus was sung softer and quieter, Harry’s forehead resting against your temple for a moment as the both of you sang.

“I’m falling again, I’m falling again, I’m falling.” Harry finished, putting his mic down as he stared at you with a small smile, watching you in your element as you played.

Managing to look at him as you played single soft notes, you sang, “I’m falling again, I’m falling again, I’m falling.”

You played the end single notes, looking at Harry with tearful eyes and a bashful smile.

It was like you were unaware to the erupted cheer and round of applause, you threw your arms around Harry, feeling his arms wrap around you instantly.

Crying from the overwhelming emotions, you were thankful your mascara was waterproof. You called it.

“I love you,” Harry whispered in your ear, “I love you so much.”

omg pls talk more about GX rival shipping once the transfer students come

Dear anon, I love you for asking this of me, but I have to wonder if you want everyone who follows me to start hating me.

Long post coming up? You know it. I apologise to all Johan fans, he's great and I loved him and his deck as a child. Now I'm just salty because he's too perfect. Warning because this is a mess of unrequited feelings and it's an all around bad time if you ship anything in gx. I did mention I do not practice self care in a previous post of mine. Enjoy your pain c:

So here are my bad takes of the day, under the very handy cut!

You see, gx rivalshipping becomes a lot more complicated and angsty when the transfer students arrive. The dynamic changes. If there is a dynamic at all. I mean, imagine yourself in Manjoume's shoes. You've lowkey had a crush on this dumb guy who kind of ruined your life (but actually improved it and freed you from the restraints your family imposed on you), just to watch a handsome scandinavian dude who is a lot more muscular than you are and maybe a little bit nicer, maybe just waltz in and completely captivate said dumb guy's attention. Just when you had managed to admit your own feelings to yourself.

Johan comes in and steals the room, everybody loves him, he's good looking, charismatic, kind and has a magical exclusive shiny sparkling deck at his disposal that he uses as if it was the most natural thing in the world, like he hadn't received approval Pegasus himself on top of the duel spirits. And Judai clearly can't get enough of it, because he's always seeking him out, ever since the duel they had in front of everyone, and Manjoume finds that he's really annoyed by it. He wishes he'd been chosen for the demonstration, deluding himself into believing that if he'd won, Judai would have never started caring so damn much about Johan. But a part of him knows he would have probably lost and that even if he hadn't, Judai would have not cared about the outcome at all. It's nice to think that winning a card game can solve all your problems, but, while Manjoume has only ever experienced how much losing one can mess with your life goals, he isn't stupid enough to think that winning would grant him happiness. Not anymore. No well-thought-out strategy can rid him of his bad temper and his worthless pride.

The thing is, he can't really hate Johan, because nobody can hate Johan. He's just the perfect picture of everything Manjoume isn't and, going by everyone's reaction, the fact that 'everyone is unique in their own way and worthy of love' is absolute bullshit. There clearly is an objective better one of the two and Manjoume is very aware that he isn't it. And he'd probably begrundgingly be cool with it, after all he'd accepted that Jaden was braver than him, that Asuka was emotionally stronger and more resolute, that Daichi was smarter, not to mention how much plain better than him his fomer upperclassmen were. Forget about pros like Edo, whom Judai had stood on equal grounds with. But Judai is clearly playing favourites, too, hell, he hardly even acknowledges Manjoume.

He finds himself forcibly removed from his already shaky position as rival, because now Johan is there to take it up, on top of the titles of 'best friend' and 'emotional support and crutch' and 'maybe something else I'd really rather not know'.

Manjoume just generally hates it all. He might have changed and improved himself, but there is no saving him from the fact that some people were just better. That doesn't stop him from trying. But again he finds himself pitted against Judai, the irony of his fate never giving him a moment to rest. Manipulated and turned into the enemy of those he cares about, again.

A part of him despises how good it feels to learn that Johan has gone missing, but Judai is screaming like his arms have been torn off and while he hates that it's all for Johan, he hates that Judai is in pain even more. Judai had saved him before and it's only right for him to return the favour. So he insists on helping him on his stupidly risky plan to save Johan. And it's all to get the old Judai back.

...The rest, from Manjoume's perspective is a mess. His feelings of anger stem from the hatred he harbours towards himself and the bond between Judai and Johan. He'd been trying to help, he had, he sincerely had, but everything just swirled together and the next thing he knows is that he is shouting at Judai because it suddenly made sense to guilt trip him over the fact that he'd abandoned his friends, he'd abandoned him as soon as someone better had come into the picture. And it was Judai's fault for letting them- him believe that he cared when he didn't, when he couldn't have cared less, because clearly he had one priority only and that was Johan. They had come to help and it still wasn't being appreciated.

Disappearing is a relief, for a moment, but then he finds himself in another hellish place and he can't help but think that it's retribution for being so upset over something that has nothing to do with him. That's right. It's his own fault for making Judai, his only real friend (aside from Fubuki, sorry for breaking the immersion, but I love Fubuki), carry the burden of the stupid hopes that came with his feelings. Judai has no fault. Johan has no fault. It's his own for desiring something that would always be out of reach.

As he is tortured by his own thoughts and regrets in the other dimension, Manjoume silently wishes his words meant nothing to Judai, that he'd be spared the pain of betrayal. He wishes Judai can achieve his goal.

When Shou appears to him, he knows there is no time to waste. If he is alive, the others are, too. Judai would want to know that they are safe. So he asks Shou to carry his message, along with his good luck wish. He hopes it's enough to make up for his mistakes.

Next thing he knows, they are back at DA, Judai is nowhere to be seen. Manjoume mourns the loss of his first and only friend and curses himself for tarnishing that memory. (Judai's return and season 4 would be too much to cover, this was only Manjoume's pov and I might as well just rewrite the entire show at this point.)

So what about Judai?

I personally want to believe that he genuinely does like Manjoume at some point. But as much as it pains me to admit it, season 3 just wrote Manjoume off from the list of main characters and relegated him to 'he's your funny comic relief, nobody really gives a shit about what he thinks or feels, so why should you, the spectator who has grown to love him, care at all? Also here's his sticker that confirms that Judai going after Johan makes him really angry for some reason, make of that what you will c:' (fuck the writing staff, I'm not even sorry).

Judai is so clearly smitten with Johan. It seems to me that his refusal to accept Manjoume's help that one time on the cliff shows that Judai doesn't really understand the way Jun operates. He probably labeled him as just someone else who counted on him to be saved. And sure, Manjoume is saved by Judai in multiple occasions, but he doesn't ever really... ask for it? Or more importantly expect it. He doesn't get himself into situations he can't handle because Judai can save him anyways, the trouble just kind of happens at him and more often than not he's only involved by accident, because he happens to be close to Judai.

The problem still stands, as season 3 starts, Judai is very much burdened by everyone's expectations and Johan is a breath of fresh air and the only one Judai actually considers a friend and an equal. It's heartbreaking that he felt that alone.

They get their gay 'have we met somewhere before moment', they duel gaily, they homoerotically tell eachother how admirable the other is, they shamelessly flirt and whoohoo Judai has an unofficial boyfriend and who can blame him for concentrating on him along with wanting to escape the pressure his former gang unknowingly laid on him.

But yeah, Judai in season 3 has a one track mind and it's hard not to see it as romantic. Does he know it is? Maybe? I honestly don't know. I feel like Johan is the one of the two who is aware of the implications of their interactions. Which also kind of brings me to say... does Johan think that all of Judai's friends are horrible people? Because he never once comments on how Judai distances himself from them once he arrives. He probably thinks they were never good friends in the first place.

Judai probably excuses his attentions towards Johan with the fact that they are alike because they can see spirits, but then he rememebers that so can Manjoume and maybe he feels guilty for a second, but Johan cracks a joke and Judai laughs and thinks to himself that Manjoume is probably happy to have the peace and quiet he so often claimed to want.

Like... I think a part of him would get that tightness in his chest because it's like he's betrayed someone, but he knows he hasn't, because there isn't any actual mutual agreement he's going against. So he lets himself fall deeper into the comfort of Johan's presence. Johan is, to Judai, the ideal person. He is exactly who Judai wants to become. Judai admires him very deeply and strives to be more like him, but he falls gradually into despair as he learns, once Johan is gone, that no, he can't be like him, because Johan is so much better than him, and if he doesn't get him back soon he might even forget what he was like in the first place. Johan can't be erased, can't be forgotten. And Judai feels like he's vanishing already, so he throws himself into a wild interdimensional manhunt to save his hopes for the future.

Turns out that wanting to do good doens't always result in a good outcome. That's what Judai learns when Manjoume lashes out at him just seconds before disappearing. Along with the others, too. Judai doesn't even have the brain power to compute that some people are still there, that he can still save someone, because he realised then that he had focused so much on Johan that he'd completely overlooked the fact that while his friends relied on him a little too much, they hadn't meant any harm. And if he'd just told them, maybe they would have been fine, they could've cooperated- but Manjoume had told him that he was a traitor, that he'd doomed them with his irrational behaviour.

Manjoume's last words to him had been spoken with hatred and Judai realised only then that he had misread him entirely. He lets despair and self hatred take over as he realises that if he had managed to hurt the ones he cared about so easily, discarding them for the new good thing, he could just keep doing that. And it would stop hurting, eventually.

I like to think that Manjoume really does have an impact on the awakening of the Supreme King. Yeah, I know he only turns once Johan's death is mentioned, I know. I just suffer from abandonment issues and can't stand that Manjoume dying in front of him is more impactful to Judai than a guy who literally can't be trusted saying "Joke's on you, the one you're looking for is in another castle already dead."

So yeah. That's the angsty overview.

TL;DR Johan is an Adonis, Judai is smitten and Manjoume is very very heartbroken. But actually so is Judai. Because while being with Johan feels right, there's someone whose absence feels wrong, but he doesn't allow himself to dwell on it and everything goes to shit. All around a bad time for everyone and they'll have a lot of talking to do once they properly reconcile after graduation.

EPISODE TEN

“One hour to go until I find out if people are actually keeping me, or if they're all just being assholes and wanting to blindside me.” - jev

HOH: Brianna NOMINEES: Jev & Kiki POV: Nathan FINAL NOMINEES: Jev & Kiki EVICTED: Kiki (4-0)

JEV

I feel this could be the end for me this week, considering I named Brianna as renom last week and she has nominated me previously it's not looking good for me. However, last week after naming her renom, I did send her screenshots from Nathan of him throwing her and Aria under the bus to me just incase she stayed, so I purposefully threw him under the bus for this exact reason and I'm just hoping the move will pay off and there's even a slight chance she'll nominate him and keep me off the block. I'm also hoping she'll recognise that I didn't consider her as one of my initial noms and only named her as replacement because I was put into a shitty predicament last week by Nathan and his veto win, but who knows. I'm extremely proud of the game I've played but it'd suck to leave at F7 after getting this far.

BRIANNA

https://youtu.be/z8bOEMq9gh8

ARIA

So....its been a bit huh,...sorry about that yall pls just take this anaylsis of everyone left k thanks <3

NATHAN

Looking at the whole of his game this man has been targeted since prejury yet his social connections and physical prowess has kept him safe this long- typically this would lend itself to a very strong underdog story but at the same time his attitude this game has been very rocky as he's threatened to quit or just give up multiple times before which may decrease the amount of respect the jury has for him. At this moment in time he can be categorized as a big player due to his numerous fights which could gain jury respect because it does show that he wants to play but im unsure if its enough. In terms of social connections he presents himself as having limited connections with others as he doesnt talk with kiki or jev but has a mutual understanding between him and joshua as they are both big threats/targets leading them to want to keep each other safe. This does bring up complications when trying to eliminate joshua from this game but thats for another analysis. He's constantly threatened the status quo of the house and if it wasn't for his attitude (and maybe the lack of connections to people like kiki and jev) he could be a shoe-in to win. It should also be considered that he has constant correspondence with emma and somewhat of a connections with bri. It should also be highlighted that hes very good at mending bridges considering hes working with someone he previously attempted to nominate (brianna) and had a fight with (joshua) Honestly he's playing a great game and the bitterness visible from kiki/jev does not reflect the jury- its more likely that he can beat me at the end. 

Leaving: f3/4/

Threat: Big/Physical

Winning Chance: 4/5

KIKI

So most players still left in the game perceive kiki to just be coasting along and honestly their win chances are minimal. I think their social game has been slacking as well as they're typically very hesitant to be honest with their game thoughts so they've failed to secure the connections that they need to get them to the end of this game. Their view on the game is also very confusing as they pretended to not know sides to me and no matter what the truth was it was a very bad look on their part. Also on a more personal note they showed that they're willing to snap as seen yesterday in bri's dms and in the live competition channel. In terms of this vote I have hardly any connection to them and if they won hoh next week i know that i would not be safe unlike jev who i've formed a more honest relationship with. I am slightly worried that im taking out someone with no win chance but my first priority will always be house dynamics and to appease the bb gods, they need to leave.

Leaving: f7

Threat: None, likeability

Winning chance: 1/5

JOSHUA

Literally just hand the kid the winning title and pots at this point his control over the game is incredible. He has deals and connections with EVERY single person in this game and I truly feel like he can make the end if we dont take him out here but I can't control nathan at this point. I think he's formed connections to me and nathan through all of us being "big threats" while he has connections to Jev/Emma/Kiki as they were all on the original side and he's somehow escaped the block on someones hoh who he previously put up...this guy is unstoppable wtf. However the entire game IS aware of his skill and its very likely that he gets taken out soon because of this unless he goes on a comp run. I also find it very likely that the jury is rooting for him as he remained respectful with every evictee and had justifications for every eviction beyond just house dynamics and his game has been straighforward with his noms and bold with his connections. Im unsure of how exactly to get rid of him but I believe he thinks we're close (f2 tingz) and I find it unlikely he takes me out although i think hes notices that ive been a bit more closed off this week which is worrying for future endeavors.

Leaving: f6/f5

Threat: Big/Phyiscal/Social

Winning Chance: 5/5!!!!

JEV

Out of everyone left I find it very difficult to think of how Jev is playing, I think he's either playing the most straight forward game I've ever seen or his game has a lot of hidden depths. I mean how I view his game as another player is that he came into this game very unconnected but managed to wiggle his way into stable sides and form good connections where they've kept him safe when possible. Once he gained a side he stuck to it and just played an overall loyal game minus the yelling at nathan when he lied to him. I dont think the jury is very bitter at him but I also don't believe that they're super high on him in comparison to people like joshua. In terms of our own connection I think I might be higher on his trust list due to me being very proactive about using veto on him and voting to keep him- i dont think ill be in danger if he wins hoh but nathan sure will :nicolequeen: There is a chance he can beat me at the end just due to not fucking over all of the jury but the chance we make f2 is very small, he represents the utr social player that joshua might be scared of winning 

Leaving: f6/f5

Threat: Balance/Middle

Winning Chance: 4/5

EMMA

Emma's game is very interesting because its similar to kiki in the fact that she's been coasting or just sticking to her side but she's aware of her flawed gameplay and wants to do better and make moves. However the end is closing end and I doubt she has the time to really make a move although she has been very smart about how she presents herself to others this entire game showing high sense of strategy. I think we're fairly close in a personal and game sense (unless shes just buttering me up for the slaughter as her own big move) so I would love to take her very far in this game. Im unsure of how the jury view her at this point in time but i cant imagine it being very high at this time unless shes manipulating things behind the scenes. At the end shes probably one of the only people I can beat because the jury might want a "big" player to win so she's def an ideal f2 choice at THIS time.

Leaving: f3/f2

Threat: Strategic

Winning Chance: 2/5

BRIANNA

First off I love her so much personally she's seriously the kindest person I've met and i absolutely adore her but also her game has been fairly impressive so far. Her actions have been the catalyst for sides to form and big moves being made- however i can say that I had a hand in a series of these moves but received no blowback (or recognition) for them yet and I'm unsure how the jury will view us as a duo or who can lay claim to the moves made. I think some of the jury may be bitter such as Josh c and Nick but at the same time she'll have fans such as joey and jacob so its a very mixed bad and I think we'll be trying for the same votes which is worrying. She's also fairly good at comps and socializing putting her on a similar stage as nathan and joshua although for some reason she never gets the credit :/ Im unsure whether I want her at the end or not but there is a possibility ill cut her...

Leaving: ???

Threat: Social/Comp

Winning: ???

And i think i dont stand a chance tbh, my jury management has been ass but im gonna do my best <3 also sorry if this was mean fsabhfds

JEV

So Brianna has let me know that she is more than likely going to put me up as one of her initial nominees, meaning I've had to plead my case to her and severely downplay my game thus far in the hopes that she'll hear me out and by some miracle will spare me from the block this week, I'll insert the plea I sent to her at the end of this DR. I just hope she realises that there are bigger fish to fry cough Nathan cough and maybe even Joshua, although I respect him as an ally too much to even consider throwing his name out to Brianna like that. Worst comes to worst I'll just have to gun super hard for veto and take myself down, then work out the play from there if one of the other hot girls are put up in my place, but I hope Brianna isn't dumb and recognises that there isn't a drop of loyalty inside of Nathan and that she'd be stupid to keep him around another week.

JEV

So I asked Joshua if he'd save me if he won the veto, and he straight up said he'd use it on Kiki because he'd "feel bad" since he used it on me the last time me and Kiki were on the block together. It's made me feel kinda shitty because it's kinda solidifying to me that he considers me at least 3rd in our alliance, and that he and Kiki are quite likely a duo together. I have to try my hardest for this veto because I for sure leave over Kiki or the renom.

JEV

So... there is a chance, albeit a slim chance, that Nathan may use the power of veto on me. I've tried to butter him up by playing up to his kind of wildcard playstyle by saying that nobody would see it coming and it'd be the gag to end all gags, but who knows what he might do. He said he's considering it and will keep me in the loop just so I know what to expect. If I stay on the block, I know I hopefully have Aria & Emma's votes to keep me on lock, which means I'd only have to convince Joshua or Nathan to keep me, OR sway Brianna to keep me in the event of a tie, which I think is the most unlikely of the 3. Prior to tonights veto, I would've thought I'd have Joshua's vote to stay, but now I think its clear that Kiki/Joshua are a duo and Me/Emma are a duo, so I don't think I'd be able to sway him to save me unfortunately. However the rest of this week plays out, I have a lot of ass kissing to do which I hate but hopefully I can work a miracle

JEV

So... considering Nathan has promised safety to me this week I didn't quite expect him to go off on me like that in his veto speech but... I'm just gonna take the high road and not even acknowledge the video in house chat, as much as it sucks I just have to let Kiki run their mouth so hopefully people remain inclined to keep them around over me.

JEV

One hour to go until I find out if people are actually keeping me, or if they're all just being assholes and wanting to blindside me. As it stands, it should be 4-0 since all four of them have promised me their vote, but I'm lowkey suspicious about Nathan and Joshua, there's just something in the back of my mind telling me to be wary, I hope I'm just overthinking though

The suspension of football all across Europe following the coronavirus pandemic has caused plenty of confusion. The Premier League has been no exception to that, with runaway leaders Liverpool wondering whether or not they will be lift the title now, while the relegation dogfight at the bottom – which realistically involves six teams – is far from settled. The coronavirus pandemic has caused havoc in the sporting worldGetty ImagesThen there’s the Championship. After a 16-year absence Leeds finally looked set to make a return to the English top flight. But will they now after all is said and done? And what about League One, with Coventry seven points clear of third placed Oxford United with a game in hand. So, should the season be voided? Or perhaps merely postponed until the time comes for it recommence? Some have even suggested Liverpool, for example, should just be handed the title now? Below, talkSPORT.com writers have issued their verdict on what they think should happen next in English football… LATEST FOOTBALL STORIES LATEST UEFA want nearly £300m to delay Euro 2020, Grand National off, UFC fights on holdLATEST Transfers live: Umtiti to Man United, Chelsea ready Dembele bid, six Liverpool exitsNOVEL 'Carry points over to next season' - Man City fan's idea to solve coronavirus dilemmaKO TOURE 'He almost cried as Wenger limped away' - Kolo Toure's mad Arsenal trial revisitedGOSSIP United move for signing, Spurs to be offered 91-goal ace, Chelsea's top target namedSCRAPPED All events cancelled or suspended due to coronavirus, including PL, EFL and UFCINCOMING UEFA set to announce Euro 2020 delay, but want big windfall from clubsHUGE CHANGE How Liverpool have gone from PL champions-elect to rationing tea bagsNICE TOUCH Everton do brilliant gesture as Liverpool clash is postponed due to coronavirusLU HERO Remember when Fulham's Luis Boa Morte treated us to the best ever episode of Cribs? ANTON STANLEY, FEATURES EDITOR Void the season but have play-offs for European places. Right now, the only sensible option seems to be voiding the season across the English leagues. Yes, it’s tough on Liverpool. Well, tough doesn’t cover it. But given their recent form and the beauty of football, anything could have happened. Their recent run of two wins in six in all competitions is the proof it can’t just be handed to them on the assumption they would get the results they needed. All teams should remain in their current divisions with play-offs to decide our European qualifiers as a tasty pre-season tournament. It would, though, be vital for all clubs in all divisions to be given a financial package to keep them afloat given the money spent last season and their failure to earn promotion. Play-offs for promotion and relegation are an option but possibly too messy to sort out and could result in legal battles – sorry Leeds fans! VERDICT: VOID THE SEASON Anton has sympathy for the likes of Liverpool and Leeds, but says English football should be cancelled this seasonGetty Images - GettyBILLY HAWKINS, NEWS EDITOR Given there is no guarantee the season will resume on April 3, and there is a real chance the suspension will continue well beyond the initial end date, I am of the opinion that the 2019/20 campaign should be scrapped entirely. All results and records are expunged, with the 2020/21 season being used to replay 2019/20; this means no promotions, no relegations, and the same teams in Europe as this season. Given there is a good chance many leagues across the continent will be scrapped, this is the most viable outcome to ensure football can resume with as little disruption as possible. The only things that will remain in the record books are trophies which have already been won, such as Man City being Carabao Cup champions and Liverpool winning the Club World Cup. Coronavirus played no impact on these already completed tournaments, so they can go down in history with no suggestion of outside influence. VERDICT: VOID THE SEASON Billy is of the same belief – but says the trophies that have been won to date should remain intactGetty Images - GettyJOE MOORE, RADIO NEWS EDITOR I’m with Barry Hearn on this one – this Premier League season MUST be played to a conclusion as soon as it can. While Karren Brady has called for the season to be declared null and void (which would see West Ham stay up – funny that) and FA boss Greg Clarke has insisted the season cannot be completed, Matchroom chief Hearn has been one of the few to speak any sense, in my opinion. “For the integrity of the sport we have to conclude the fixture list. If that means delaying, abandoning or changing the following season, so be it,” he told Monday’s Sports Breakfast. And he’s right, isn’t he? How can you disregard a campaign which has only ten games left to play in favour of keeping next season on track, when nobody has any points in the 20/21 campaign? That would make no sense! So, when it’s safe to do so, play the rest of the season out. If that means playing two or three games a week, fine. If that means the season ends later than planned, fine. The Euros being cancelled will give us extra time to do that. Yes, there will be questions over players whose contracts expire in June – just get them to sign short-term extensions? The integrity of the current season must take priority over the next, surely? VERDICT: FINISH THE SEASON Joe is in full agreement with Barry Hearn’s notion that the Premier League season must be completedALEX JOHNSON, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR My take is this: With the 2022 World Cup already taking place in November 2022, this is a great chance for the Premier League and European Football as a whole to get the football calendar in sync with the World Cup. Restart the season when possible and aim to finish it by November. Then we start the next couple of seasons in the winter before returning to normal after the World Cup. And if Coventry City don’t get promoted despite being 7 points clear of 3rd place in League One, with a game in hand, I will hit the ceiling. VERDICT: FINISH THE SEASON Alex, a die-hard Coventry fan, would be livid if this season was voidedGetty ImagesSEAN GALLAGHER, SENIOR SPORTS WRITER You can’t just void the season just like that. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top, the top-four race is far from over and just six points separate the bottom five sides in the relegation dog fight. Ultimately 75 per cent of the season has already been completed, so when the time comes for the season to resume it should be completed in it’s entirety – if the Premier League want to maintain any sort of integrity. UEFA must make the decision to delay Euro 2020 by a further year, which isn’t ideal, but not the worst case scenario by any stretch of the imagination. VERDICT: FINISH THE SEASON Sean maintains that the season should be continued where it let off when the appropriate time arisesGetty Images - GettyOLIVER DAWNAY, STAFF WRITER I think as soon as the pandemic gets better and the spread is fully contained, the Premier League should resume as normal with all the remaining games played. If this is done within six weeks, all the matches should be finished at the end of the summer and Euro 2020 should be delayed until 2021. The players will need to rest so the start of the 2020/21 season should be delayed for a couple of weeks and start at the beginning of September. Euro 2021 should therefore begin a little later. This would mean that Liverpool are crowned champions should they win the two matches that they need to and the rest of the teams will battle it out for promotion/relegation as normal. VERDICT: FINISH THE SEASON Ollie also wants the season to be concludedGetty Images - GettyJOSH FORDHAM, STAFF WRITER The Premier League should recommence whenever feasibly possible and not be scrapped, even if it means delaying the start of next season. Realistically, we don’t know when that will be but it would call into question the integrity of the league if the 29 games played so far counted for nothing. Euro 2020 should be pushed back to next summer to allow more time to complete this season, it is the only fair way of proceeding. You cannot just end the season now. If you handed Liverpool the title there would always be an asterisk next to it and if you scrapped everything it would seem hardly fair. Finishing the season would avoid the doubt and potential complaints that may arise from other scenarios. VERDICT: FINISH THE SEASON Josh says Euro 2020 should be postponed for a yearAFP or licensors #PremierLeague #ManchesterUnited #AFCBournemouth

These goals the boys (bighit) are begging for are promoting such a toxic atmosphere in this fandom. Almost cult-like. But you are a breathe of fresh air bc even some big blogs i liked for being "real" are now into this sheep mentality, this is scary.

Anonymous said:+ kinda funny Pied Piper exist when they are demanding so much lol

i agree that it doesn’t help with the atmosphere in the fandom, it’s gotten so much worse correlating with how much the boys asked of us and how much more the company focused on promoting them based on the records and numbers :( and i also think it’s pretty ironic coming up with that song now with how much they and the company had been asking and doing to get money out of us… i’m also bitter with bighit’s treatment of foreign fans because of what happened today, but anyways.. wish they gave us better things to focus on, at some point we are going to reach the limit and their goals will never be met and the fandom will always remain feeling guilty about it, so i wish the boys had more vague or personal goals instead of giving us specific numbers

anonymous  asked:

personally i think most of the fandom shows so much blind faith to the boys, to the point that it’s very unhealthy. of course, there’s nothing wrong with people wanting to show support for their faves, but some people show unwavering dedication to whatever they want. it’s kind of annoying and they think it makes them look like better fans when in reality they just show they’re in capable of anything realistic

i think it’s like that with most fandoms that are built around real people, because it’s so time consuming and there are a lot of things you have to deal with, but it reached pretty critical levels in our fandom, any time anyone says something negative it’s just HYSTERICS about how fake of a fan you are, or that you’re too dramatic for even thinking outside of anything the company/group wants you to… but yeah i agree with you, always gotta look at things with some level of realism

Anonymous said:ok in the beginning i didn’t really agree with you but now i do. i totally see ur point. ofc they have goals and they should have, but when what they achieve is because of us it can kinda feel like we’re stepping stones??? if u know w i mean. it’s great with ambitions but when you achieve something pls revel in it a bit more before being like “ok BUT now we want more thanks”. or have goals such as development as musicians and vocalists or smth that isn’t based on numbers… i sound bitter lol

yeah that’s how i feel too, and i think they shouldn’t make us feel that way as fans, they used to have many goals like that, about self-development, making good music, connecting more, expressing themselves better, but this time around it’s all charting and records and yeah, and what more it’s even specific numbers, and that’s just blergh.. you know the fandom will be disappointed with itself if we don’t get them to hot 50 next time

Anonymous said:I miss the time where the only things I understood about kpop were that the groups were large and that the members could sing and dance. I’ve never given a fuck about 1st places in music shows and daesangs tbh I still don’t get how all of this works properly. But i started making a big deal of it since the boys first win and at the time it was meaningful but like right now? I don’t even check if they won or not because I know they did. (1)

Anonymous said:It doesn’t feel the same because these wins and prices and stuff just don’t feel as rewarding as before idk how to explain it. I kind of have a feeling that all of this happens just because of the popularity so it’s just meeeh to me (I mean I’m always delighted and super happy whenever they got something, it just doesn’t feel the same anymore, kind of a routine, I got used to it too son I guess) anyway, about the streaming drama that is happening. (2)

Anonymous said: I’m sure that if I ever dare speak these words into life under an URL I’d be destroyed but, I didn’t change my location when streaming the album and I didn’t let my laptop run overnight to stream the MV. I mostly stream because I want to hear the songs and because I want the boys to get some money out of it. It’s great that they achieved the hot100 and it would be great if they make it into the top50, top20… Of course. (3)

Anonymous said:Call me dramatic but the achievement doesn’t feel that genuine to me, because they made it through people streaming while working, sleeping, eating, doing everything but listening to the songs iywim so it’s just because the fandom worked extra hard not because the song made it into the mainstream ears?  Idk nothing feels right lately and the boys have their mind flying over the moon and I hope they will get a break soon so they can reflect and think (4)

Anonymous said:about everything and put their wants and goals straight again. Because they give me the impression that they won’t stop because everything is going so fast and nothing feels impossible to them rn they really need a break. I have a lot to say but I feel that this ask is messy enough as it is. Thank you if you read all of this (5)

Yeah it’s true and only natural that the more awards / wins there are, the less it means to everyone, both us and the boys. I don’t think we’ll get a moment like their first daesang again tbh, i’m really grateful i experienced that moment live.

and you’re right that people are really awful with the streaming, i saw so much guilting everywhere.. like sorry, i work full time,i can’t leave the mv playing 24/7, i do what i can as a fan, everyone tries to help within their means.

it’s just that now it feels like even those sacrifices we make aren’t enough, because in the end we will always be asked and expected to do even more.

and i agree with you, honestly this album felt from scratch like it was made to get them a lot of success, but it lost a lot of what people like them for in the process (the boys’ input, their sincerety about the result), i was hoping that once they would achieve that HUGE goal that they talked about for years, that they and us would breathe out and feel like, yeah we got there, now we can do what matters. but i guess there is still more and more, they just want more sigh, i just hope that once it all starts going down (which it has to eventually) that it won’t be too harsh on them, i know they worry about it a lot

Anonymous said:1. I agree w everything youre saying rn. Before the live stages i honestly only liked mic drop and now gogo is up there too - all because of the vibe their stages give off. If not for that id continue feeling detached from it all, from them. This is my first proper comeback aswell ( other than the ynwa repackage ) and its honestly not what i expected. Esp w wings and now the theme of love yourself, i really expected more… sincerity? Idk if thats the right word. But that could be explained byAnonymous said:2. The fact that the boys didnt have as much of an imput in the album as their previous ones. Which i get w the company wanting to make the most of how big they are and wanted to make sure the album was great but. Idk, i feel like they couldve trusted the boys more since it was them that got themselves here in the first place ( not that bighit was just sitting back chilling but i hope you know what I mean ). And although I was starting to fall back into the hype of the comeback

Anonymous said:3. The recent vlive kind of put me off.. theyre all exhausted, thats so clear. Tae barley said anything and they all just need a rest tbh. And this may just be me being petty and sour, but when Namjoon started saying how they should talk about how they felt after their billboard win nobody really responded? And even Namjoon cut himself off and food became the main topic. Which is good, im glad theyre eating, but i hope you see what i mean? Man idk. Sorry for the length of these

yeah it was like that for me too, but seeing them up there reminded me of why they are the best for me ;-; i also wish for that, cause tbh the songs where boys could say something more were the the best ones on the album and made me FEEL things, while other songs, even if they were fun, they were just empty to me, like empty radio bops, sadly. i’m sorry the vlive put you off, i thought it was cute, though they were tired. i didn’t pay much attention to tae not talking, because he is often like that during broadcasts tbh, he isn’t as talkative as the others during group settings, and secondly he is a rEALLY moody kid, so since they are all tired (they did this between fansigns as well) ofc he would be sitting there with his arms crossed, that’s just how he is. however i agree that the billboard part was weird, the broadcast was to celebrate it but when namjoon tried talking about it they changed the subject after a minute when nobody was enthusiastic at all.. it just makes you feel like, you work so hard to get them these awards to make them happy, right? but if they’re not even really all that into it, then it’s all about the sales and the media play and the cred, so what are we doing it for? but that is me being bitter i guess ;-;

Anonymous said:my first comeback too and i’m a bit disappointed with the (i forgot the word) “theme” of the album compared to hyyh and wings (started when i saw the highlight reels… they’re beautiful but shallow lol). dgmw i love the songs they’re bops but something’s missing and i kinda hoped for “deeper” goals and messages. my other fave bands have goals such as individual and musical growth, learning new things, feeling better about their music and lyrics etc. i love them this won’t change that but still

the word is concept, and yeah me too. i agree with everything you say. i want to hear something more sincere next time, both music wise and their goals wise. like did y’all read the statement bighit had namjoon say after they got onto the hot 100?

“Our dreams are coming true this week with a number one entrance to 73 countries on iTunes, and we are excited to share it with ARMY. We are very thankful for Billboard’s support from the beginning, and excited that Love Yourself: Her is charting at No. 7 on the Hot 200 and No. 85 on the HOT 100 for "DNA” on the Billboard charts.”

this is the most robotic and number focused speech ever and it just makes me feel really -_- just be real with us dakjsd please

Anonymous said:honestly thank you so much for staying real and not being all up their asses.. like you can love a group and still be logical about things and staying true to yourself. it’s refreshing

ha thank you, i wish this wasn’t something i had to be thanked for though… i’m just hyper focused on making sure all my opinions are my own, otherwise i’d lose track of myself as a person

[heartsoftruth]

Okay but from now on can SOMEONE ELSE win the Ballon d’or!? Messi and Ronaldo both got eliminated on the SAME DAY if that is not a sign that is time for new talents to rise and win I don’t know what is 🤷‍♀️ and i know I know they both are “greatest of all time” and blah blah blah....

I don’t think any of them will win it tbh. I would put my money on Modric or Mbappe, but Modric would be my fave. 

Anonymous said:I know that the France vs Argentina game was weeks ago but I am so happy that it was Argentina who got eliminated.

haha. Just asking: but why are you so happy they won against ARG? Any particular reason or just becauseeee. Again: I’m just curious haha. It feels like a long time ago already… The World Cup in total tbh. BUt I remember it since that was also one of the matches I saw in a café with ARG fans on one side (where I stood bc my friend was pro ARG) and FRA fans on the other haha (tho they were quite rude as I’ve also said). 

Anonymous said:Mbappé won a World Cup before Messi…. he truly is a rising star 💫

He’s a great talent. Truly has a great future ahead of him and I hope he stays as humble as he is now. I mean we all remember that run of Kylian vs ARG where he was so fast they just had to tackle him?

But let’s not forget the difference in other players for FRA and ARG. You can’t compare the team of FRA with ARG. In almost every position - besides Leo - they have better players.

Anonymous said:It’s sucks that he wasn’t nominated because stats wise he had a phenomenal season at PSG. The amount of goals he scored and assists he made imo is great. With that being said the WC just ended and even though he did a lot to help on the pitch that won’t be what many will remember about him. I feel like If FIFA were to put him in I’m afraid that people would tear FIFA apart again (like when they put him in the best of the tournament) and start attacking him againAnonymous said:I’m the Anon who just sent the last ask, I want to add something on. It’s sad to not see him on the list, but I’m happy to see Mbappe and Salah on the list though. And I won’t name the names but there are a couple on the list that threw me off lol

Yeah but I think for things like BDO - and this one too probably - they rate the Ligue 1 lower that the PL, Liga etc etc. So winning it and doing ok is cool, but he needs to go the extra mile. I think the topscorer for Europe boot they also rate Ligue 1 lower. 

I mean we are used to seeing Ney’s name in these kind of lists so it’s weird not to see him in it. but he didnt have a best season internationally so that’s very important also during a WC year. 

Yeah really happy with Kylian being on that list and Modric to in all honesty! They deserve it. 

Yeah a few threw me off as well haha. 

Anonymous said:I love ney, but i hope that now that hes not in the bests list and with all the wc memes he realises that his attitude on the pitch needs to change. Its ok to have a dribble football, we love to see that, specially brazilians, but he falls and acts way too much, and it doesnt help him or his team, its not possible that he doesnt see that. And its so boring the way he cant handle criticism, its always someone elses fault.

Yeah the dribbles and tricks he never has to stop with for me. I love those. But indeed I hope the drama after he falls goes away. Of course he falls when he goes down, but not the rolling etc. 

Anonymous said:What a mistake to have left Barcelona like this and so fast, he ended up with an injury, his image dirtied, a failed CL, a bad World Cup, he is not even nominated for The FIFA Best Player, he will surely not be in the 3rd place for the Ballon d’Or this year either and he is now stuck in a club where the League is weak and then nobody takes him seriously anymore, even RMA prefer Mbappé and Hazard now. This is really sad for him he must focus on himself and have a big relfection on his career..

*sighhhhh* Will we ever get over the fact that he left Barca? I don’t think I will… I dont think I will ever understand it either… I wonder if if he retires we will get the real story on this transfer…

Power Ranks: Week 1

A really shitty week in the NFL coincided with what was one of the least entertaining and low scoring weekends in fantasy, ever. Yes, I know there four of you that scored over 100, but the fact that we had THREE players score in the 50′s and a winner with 64 should tell you everything about this weekend. Other than Chris, who’s team went nuts, nobody that was at Anthony’s this weekend enjoyed watching their own fantasy team. If you think your team is bad, it probably isn’t, and if you think your team is good, it also probably isn’t. It was such a statistical outlier of a week. Only two (TWO, HOLY FUCK think about that for a second) quarterbacks that we actually started this week had more than one passing touchdown. Exactly ONE (!!!) running back in the entire fucking NFL scored more than one rushing touchdown, and it was Gilislee, who Dylan rightfully benched given how little we knew about the Belitricks situation. Only five receivers any of us actually started scored, and only one of them had more than 80 yards on top of the touchdown. Literally all the good tight ends sucked ass. DeMarco Murray played two snaps at Tight End (that’s not bullshit, I sent Dylan and Anthony a tweet about it) and blocked Khalil Mack on both plays. How many more of those until Dyl can start him at TE? I’m ready to move on from this weekend as fast as possible. 

Side note: all the Scott themed teams won this week! All of the corny player related pun team names lost. 

Reminder: the number I give you doesn’t matter as much as the tier I put you in, I don’t see a big difference between teams in a tier other than small details.

The Little To No Chance of Any Good Waivers tier

1. Rick and Jordy (Chris “David drafted my team” Gatzow) (1-0) (LW:1)

So, as I thought, your team is good. You’re not going to get two pick sixes out of your defense every week, but your team should’ve scored more. Cooper dropped multiple touchdowns, and Howard dropped what might’ve been a touchdown. Nobody on your team really disappointed though, and that shows the 90 point floor you’ll have every week. I’d be worried about Cohen stealing all of the points from Howard, but either way your team is fine.

2. Aegon Targaryen M’FVCKA (Alex “typing out your team name is a bitch pls change it” Ahn) (1-0) (LW: 3)

I’m gonna beat the Matt Ryan Regression drum till I die this season. Take away the super fluky 88 yard Hooper touchdown, and he had less than ten fantasy points. Carr, however, looked good. He should’ve had more touchdowns as I said in Chris’s section. Elliott playing all year gives you a big boost, I really almost put you #1 but Jeffery looked bad amidst a good Carson Wentz day, and I’m worried about Jimmy Graham, not because he’s bad but because Seattle’s offense looks bad. You have a bunch of intriguing boom or bust yearlong guys (Decker, Williams, Bennett, Carson) and I think at least one of them turns into a viable flex. 

The “my team is good but also fucking terrible” tier

3. Scott’s Balls (Anthony “lutz wasnt good enough to win you 20 dollars bitch” Mendola) (1-0) (LW: 7)

I’m moving you up a bit just because I think while you had the best case Hunt scenario, you also had the worst case Bell and Gronk situation. Your lack of a receiver still really pisses me off for some reason, way more than I think it should. I’m not a Cam believer this season, but your runningbacks and Gronk might make any other position irrelevant. I feel the same way about your team’s floor as I do about mine and Chris’s teams, but the lack of receiver puts you down here. You even dropped Mahvin JONES.

4. Scott’s Penis (David “three and 0 against alec week one baby) Chinchilla) (1-0) (LW: 4)

I feel really dirty putting myself amongst these teams because I really didn’t play well. Here’s the only reason I think I deserve to be up here: I got tremendously unlucky to not score more, my players have clear defined floors, and I didn’t have Ajayi. Game script took Carlos Hyde out of the game early, and he still got 8 points on like 15 total touches. The Bills somehow didn’t give McCoy the ball one time inside the five yard line, where all three of their scores came. Reed had 8 targets, Allen and Garcon had 10. I just think my floor is high because of opportunities. If I can go 2-3 while Andrew Luck heals up, watch the fuck out because I’d finally have a quarterback.

5. Fournette About It (Jack “lost by how much Derek Fisher had on the clock against the spurs that one time” Cleek) (0-1) (LW:10)

You lost, but your team impressed me a lot! I still need to see a few more weeks of consistency from your rookie runningbacks, but so far so good. Hopkins still worries me, especially now that Watson is the QB. It’s a strange, weird fact, but the success rate of wide receivers with rookie quarterbacks is staggeringly low. Beshoy pointed out to me that the last good one was Steve Smith during Cam’s rookie year. Luckily, you have Diggs to plug in, but he’s another guy I need to see do it over an extended period of time before I believe it after last year’s late season collapse. I probably should’ve ranked you higher this week, but let’s make this week a prove it week for you.

6.  Beshoy and Some Backups (Beshoy “the earth is crumbling beneath your feet” Halim) (0-1) (LW: 2)

The nickname was a bit much, but I don’t feel nearly as good about your team as I did when I originally wrote rankings, since back then we still didn’t know Zeke was gonna play week 1. You had the worst possible scenario happen with your team last week. Rodgers had an awful match up, Abdullah wasn’t thrown to, Pryor was both a victim of his own bitchassness and Cousins playing bad, and the Henngod let you down (Which upset me, I’m his biggest fan). I still think this is one of the better teams, Rodgers - Gordon - Evans will always keep you competitive, but until someone else emerges I’m skeptical. You were really dependent on McFadden, but Adam Thielen might save the season. You always lose week 1 anyways, this meant nothing.

7. Don’t Trust a Youngerhoe (Dylan “younghoe was your fault” Jessop) (0-1) (LW:6)

Obviously it’s one week, and you only scored like three less than I did, but the Cousins regression tour seems to be happening already. He’s the only guy I really don’t believe in on the team, as pretty much everyone had an average game, including your tight end, DeMarco Murray. You were another one of the teams that was unlucky to not score more, and I think you’re gonna be just fine. Is it weird that I love your team’s floor but don’t think it has much upside?

The sleeping giant tier

8. Hammer (Tony “shockingly quiet this weekend” Mendola) (0-1) (LW: 5)

Tony lost twice this weekend, once to Chris and once to Beshoy for the #1 waiver. We should see bounce backs from pretty much your entire team, but there were some things I saw that really concerned me. Brady looked old as hell. Freeman may be a victim of the Falcons offense not being nearly as good as last season. Ted Ginn is your WR2. TY Hilton looks awful without Luck, and Fitzgerald is your only viable flex option right now. Morris is useless because Elliott is back, Murray got dunked on by Dalvin Cook, and Jamaal Charles fumbled. It was the worst case scenario, I know, but for the first time in my life, I’m not 100% sure tony’s fantasy magic touch can fix this.

The  “thank you for being wrong about my ranking :)” tier

9. Mixon It Up (Alec “thank you for being wrong about my ranking :)” Bernstein) (0-1) (LW: 8)

sup lil BITCH (PS: DYLAN IS THE ORACLE)

10. Scott’s Jizz (Scott “cursed” Felgenhauer) (1-0) (LW: 10)

Scott I really don’t know what to tell you my guy. Every single fucking year, this shit happens to you. The worst part about it is that you somehow won, which means no good waiver, and aside from David Johnson I really didn’t like your team to begin with. You now NEED Dak to Dez to be the best fantasy pairing this year, Thomas to replicate last year, and Kelce to be the number one tight end again, and then have ZERO points from running backs. I’m not sure what you do here, you may need to make a trade.

2016/17 Premier League Post-Match Thread Season Review via /r/LiverpoolFC

2016/17 Premier League Post-Match Thread Season Review

I've had a look back on the highs and lows of our Premier League campaign by skimming through the raw emotions on display in the post-match threads. Many thanks to /u/DatGuyDench for doing most of those threads and to any other users who looked after them. I've selected three or four of the higher rated comments in each thread to give a brief summary of the sentiment after each game. Any feedback is appreciated!

1 - Arsenal 3 Liverpool 4

Klopp must have given the team the world's tastiest orange slices and Capri-Sun for halftime. /u/ErkeyfromTurkey

Klavan is a monster. /u/conchobor

If someone asked me, "What is it like to support Liverpool?" I would show them this match. Confusing setup, asinine defensive mistakes, one of the best goals you'll ever see, amazing and confusing goalkeeping, a stretch of breathtaking offensive play, memorable goal celebrations, a worrying injury, a complete defensive collapse, a match thread that disappears, final twenty minutes of ass-clenching anxiety, hamfisted timewasting, and ultimately a good enough performance to prompt a million arguments about how good we could be. /u/Pipes_of_Pan

2 - Burnley 2 Liverpool 0

Look for the positives lads. If we miss out on Europe again this season we'll have nothing to distract us from our 2017/18 title push. /u/superfish1

Serious question, why doesn't every team just park the bus against us? It's pretty much a guaranteed result. If every team parked the bus against us we'd probably get relegated. /u/HUGE_HOG

Never rated football anyway /u/Sun_Is_Hot

3 - Spurs 1 Liverpool 1

Alli is a prick /u/KloppYourHands

That Mane goal... /u/ratmftw

Thought we played well today. Klopp has said before that football takes a bit of luck, and today Tottenham had all of it. Probably should be leaving with all 3 points, but that’s football. The referee was a prick though. /u/johncosta

4 - Liverpool 4 Leicester 1

My favorite part of the game was after the first goal when during and after everyone was done celebrating with Firmino a couple of players, including Firmino himself, were congratulating Sturridge. He was the one who tracked back and stole the ball to start the move and then made a run wide to give Firmino his space. /u/ErkeyfromTurkey

When we play good, we're fucking great. /u/DatGuyDench

Mane is worth £60m /u/Reddits-Reckoning

5 - Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2

This is probably the cleanest match we've ever had so far with Chelsea. Great result - and the best part? Diego wasn't a total cunt, (except from scoring a goal of course)! /u/Capt_Awkward

Nobody talking bout Gini but boy, that man is very gradually improving game by game. /u/KayJayA7X

Did Liverpool just defend a 1 goal lead for more than 30 seconds? Oh my /u/The_Backseatsman

6 - Liverpool 5 Hull 1

We should play one man up every week. That was fun /u/uRhombus

I wonder if anyone has ever won the league with no clean sheets... /u/MackerLad93

James Milner is my hero. /u/The_Sassinator

7 - Swansea 1 Liverpool 2

We should still look to sign Hector to be James Milners understudy /u/shaunsocca

Our left back has as many goals as Zlatan /u/JWL1092

That big fuck off Lovren volley into the away end at the end is the highlight of the game and I don't care what anyone says. /u/UtterShite

8 - Liverpool 0 Manchester United 0

Fuck you Real's fax machine. /u/ratmftw

CLEAN SHEET BOYS /u/HUGE_HOG

Jose Mourinho is on a mission to kill any excitement that might come from Liverpool vs ManU. /u/iSalt

9 - Liverpool 2 West Bromwich Albion 1

By the tone of this thread you would think we fucking lost. Cheer up we are joint top of the league. /u/germibobi

CAN I GET ONE FUCKING GAME WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO CLENCH MY ARSE HOLE. /u/Reddits-Reckoning

Should be top of the table but for FUCKING SET-PIECES. Gini is cursed. Studge has resting bitch face. Can was gassed after 65 minutes. Karius wasn't bad, but wasn't convincing. Firmino is bae. That is all. Edit: Could have gone top of the table for the first time since May 2014....ouch, that hurts. /u/iiEviNii

10 - Crystal Palace 2 Liverpool 4

No idea why, but I felt weirdly comfortable throughout that game. Never doubted us for a second. Used to have a similar feeling in 13/14 /u/Reddits-Reckoning

We scored 2 goals from corners. Let that sink in. /u/wontwont

we are finally beating bogey teams /u/tweedeh

11 - Liverpool 6 Watford 1

NO CLEAN SHEET NO PROBLEM, TOP WE GO /u/TheLastofish

LIVERPOOL FIRST, ARSENAL BACK IN FOURTH, UNITED NOWHERE!!!!!! BEST FUCKING WEEKEND!!!!!!! /u/TheRedCormorant

So happy Gini finally scored. /u/DatGuyDench

12 - Southampton 0 Liverpool 0

Shit Fact: 2 International Breaks followed by 2 draws… /u/BTS_1

What a frustrating fucking game. /u/racistfetus

bus wankers /u/iG8

13 - Liverpool 2 Sunderland 0

Woodburn had a worldie /u/RideOrDieRemember

Klopp's influence as the 12th man on the pitch cannot be overstated. /u/TheLastofIsh

Fuck your double decker bus you pale cunt. The klopp train makes no stops. *No offence to pale cunts, one of which, I am. /u/Psychotic_Bear

14 - Bournemouth 4 Liverpool 3

Ah, good. I almost forgot what it was like to feel like a Liverpool fan for a while this season... /u/ DaEvil1

This whole "as long as we score more goals it's fine" thing is a lot less fun when we don't actually score more goals. /u/Deathbybunnies

Matip died for this. /u/BTS_1

15 - Liverpool 2 West Ham 2

I feel like I saw the same attack plan fail 78 times. /u/darian66

fucking sick of conceding with every shot great fucking run of easy fixtures in december huh /u/EpicRageGuy

Great game from Mané. Ran the show from the start. /u/Jambo234

16 - Middlesborough 0 Liverpool 3

What a performance by Lallana, MOTM for sure followed by Origi. Klavan is an absolute mountain at the back and Mignolet too has done well. Oh and cleansheet is back on the menu lads! /u/satanlikesyou

Klavan should always play over Lucas /u/GreatJakeUmber

SIMON "CLEAN SHEET" MIGNOLET /u/Reddits-Reckoning

17 - Everton 0 Liverpool 1

Sturridge is actually incredible, for him to get that shot off was incredibly difficult with that type of accuracy. /u/ErkeyfromTurkey

I enjoyed the part where we won but also enjoyed the part where Everton lost. /u/CurrentlyComatose

Ross Barkley can fuck right off for that challenge on Hendo. How was that not a straight red? /u/Jiro_Dreams

18 - Liverpool 4 Stoke City 1

40 POINTS WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN LADS!!!! /u/the-londoner

Lallana is England's best player. /u/Viper711

Henderson is a fucking boss /u/h4k01n

19 - Liverpool 1 Manchester City 0

Guys, we held on to a 1-0 lead for 86 minutes. This is so unheard of from our team. I'm proud. /u/malis-

"No." -- Ragnar Klavan, 2016 /u/HUGE_HOG

Lallana has still got the biggest dick in Anfield. /u/hot-cakes

20 - Sunderland 2 Liverpool 2

Bournemouth, West Ham, Sunderland. All games we were leading in, yet at the end of all 3 we've only came out with 2 out of 9 points. Devastating that. /u/JaydenSnow

Sunderland is truly the shit that just won't flush. /u/arterius23

Our midfield was kinda poor without Hendo. /u/Crypt9n

21 - Manchester United 1 Liverpool 1

Migs saved us. Played out of his mind /u/SgtPatos

brilliant defending all match ...and then an offside goal? /u/kuu-uurija

Herrera is a fucking cunt /u/edubbleg

22 - Liverpool 2 Swansea 3

Gonna go down my local park and knife a swan. /u/McGoohanno6

Fight for the top four from now on. Fucking terrible performance. /u/the_horn_of_gondor

We just lost against a side that has the worst PL defensive record of the CENTURY. Let that sink in for a moment. /u/logicspock

23 - Liverpool 1 Chelsea 1

We were unlucky not to steal the win at the end, but man we were lucky to not lose this. A point against the league leaders is very good, considering the form we're in. It's all gonna be good I think. I hope. /u/ur_mum_was_a_hamster

Henderson absolutely bossed it both ends of the pitch /u/decentpants

Kante is unbelievable /u/IL_ya_Un_jour

24 - Hull City 2 Liverpool 0

Last 10 games: DDLDWLLLDL Includes 2 Losses and a draw to teams battling relegation, a loss to a team in the Championship and a draw to a English Football League 2 team. EDIT: Our only win in the last 10 games was against the same team we drew with in the English Football League 2, with a winning goal from Lucas. /u/Cookeh_

LFC 2017 but every time we play, the worse it gets /u/mwright_13

The traveling Kop singing ynwa at the end there are the real MVPs, always amazing, it's a shame the team didn't give them much to enjoy /u/agpleezdeddy

25 - Liverpool 2 Spurs 0

Wij and Lallana played out of their minds! /u/Chitmonster

WE'VE DEFENDED A LEAD LADS! /u/okaysian

Very few players will get ever get a reception like Mane got when he came off. He's brilliant. 30m, even in this day's market was truly a steal. /u/JaydenSnow

26 - Leicester 3 Liverpool 1

(Match Thread Only)

Typical Liverpool. We play a shitty team, table-wise, then we play a lazy shitty game. It has been this way for the past few years. I don't understand how we can play the top of the table very strong, but crap the bed against lower teams. /u/Krypto_dg

I just want it to be next season already. Can you really be arsed watching this team struggle its way to a 6th place finish. /u/HUGE_HOG

Cant really blame this on a congested fixture list now can we..... /u/Ellni

27 - Liverpool 3 Arsenal 1

A double over Arsenal is a rare occurrence. /u/BTS_1

ARSENAL FAN TV AND CHILL HERE I COME. /u/tanvirh5

I think the Premier League should copy the Scottish PL and split the league in half mid way through so we'd only play the top sides for the second half of the season. /u/NamaNamaNamaBatman

28 - Liverpool 2 Burnley 1

In a season in which we've beaten Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, City, and Everton, Burnley is our biggest win of the season. /u/TheLittleBiki

I think this game showed better in game management from us, 2-1 up and we’re not being arrogant like we have this season we’re dropping deeper as a unit looking to use the counter attack against them. We smartly held onto the ball more and moved the ball into better areas than the panicked crosses of the first half. Klavan and Matip dropping a couple of yards also gave them more of a chance in defending attacks. /u/Thesolly180

Actually impressed how little out of place Woodburn was. /u/B1GsHoTbg

29 - Manchester City 1 Liverpool 1

That lallana miss literally hurt my soul /u/Fellbird

It's encouraging that we're not satisfied with a draw at City /u/Goulders

Shoutout to Emre, who’s had a rough couple of weeks in terms of form but really showed up and had one hell of a match today. /u/logicspock

30 - Liverpool 3 Everton 1

I wanted Trent to score so much /u/byGriim

The lads played great today but I still can't get over the Mané injury. Looked very nasty, just hope he recovers well. /u/JWL1092

Just want to send a public thanks to Lovren and Matip (especially Lovren) for pocketing Lukaku like he was spare change. The entire team was immense too. Cheers /u/Chitmonster

Lukawho? /u/xHawkins

31 - Liverpool 2 Bournemouth 2

Ruined my entire night that, don't even care if we gain one on City. Top 4 should be home and dry, but we just can't stop BOURNEMOUTH from scoring late goals. /u/JaydenSnow

Hate to slate Klavan but god damn man. /u/Chitmonster

Klopp' game management was just what I'd want to see. Take a lead? Let's grind it out and try to get the W, don't care how pretty it is. It's the players that bottled it. Squad lacking in depth/talent in certain areas. Couts picked up a knock or was gassed - went straight down the tunnel. Forced his hand into the sub/formation he had to go with from that point. No real midfield options and not going to put on Studge a goal up. /u/The_AjaX

32 - Stoke City 1 Liverpool 2

Migs MOTM no question. /u/Laesen

I'm gonna go ahead and thank our twelfth man, the traveling kop, for this one. Class! /u/ynwa94

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN DANIEL STURRIDGE WAS SUBBED ON AND SAVED OUR TOP 4 HOPES?!? /u/PenguinCowboy

33 - West Bromwich Albion 0 Liverpool 1

If only we had Lovren / Matip available week in, week out. Migs saving us again the beast. /u/h4k01n

Mignolet was fucking ace. /u/gin0clock

First time we have ever beaten a Pulis side away in the league! /u/The_Backseatsman

34 - Liverpool 1 Crystal Palace 2

Galling that Coutinho was basically penalised for staying on his feet, but ultimately all our fault. So, so sloppy. 4th is going to go right to the wire. /u/thisisashameofme

I would have preferred if Liverpool won /u/You_wot_m8_

God I fucking hate Crystal Palace /u/chefboyardee001

35 - Watford 0 Liverpool 1

Mignolet was so decisive in his actions today, great to see. Can is a beast and Lallana is mesmerizing. Hopefully Coutinho isn't out for too long. Happy to see Danny get a few minutes, so wish his shot went in :( /u/h4k01n

Did our job in the best way possible. Other top 4 rivals won't stop hearing about that goal all week. Up the fucking reds! /u/The_Backseatsman

WE TIME WASTED LIKE LITTLE CUNTS I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! /u/BTS_1

36 - Liverpool 0 Southampton 0

origi shouldn't have started. /u/halalcornflakes

Not one shot on target for Southampton. /u/OWSucks

My boy Grujic was good. Glad to see him get some game time and almost a goal /u/BossCevap

37 - West Ham 0 Liverpool 4

When was the last time when we enjoyed football? When was a last time when we watched highlights after the match? What a good game. Coutinho world class, Sturridge too - when he is fully fit. One more good match and we can enjoy summer. /u/My_dog_is_red

Sturridge hugging Klopp, smiling and being happy 😌 /u/L33TF0X

http://ift.tt/2rKkZtv /u/_cumblast_

38 - Liverpool 3 Middlesborough 0

Can we just take a moment to appreciate SIMON MIGNOLET. The guy has had a shaky past and cost us a lot of points but he stepped up massively and his confidence stabilized the entire defence often. Really solid finish to the seaso from thr team! /u/bacary_lasagna

me saying bye to the europa league: http://ift.tt/2t3vGLv /u/ChickenNuggutz

MOTM was the new kit cos it's sexy as fuck /u/ShadowRock9

Sure the win was swell, but what I'm most excited about is that, despite Lucas and Moreno playing, we finished the game with 0 cards, meaning… WE WON THE F***ING FAIR PLAY TROPHY /u/Rasta_Jack

Edit 1: Formatting

Edit 2: Cheers for the gold anon! Would've liked to have put it towards the new CB fund but I'll take it!!
