roller derby fic!!!!!!!!
Harley’s on his way out of the warehouse when someone stumbles into him.
His mind is kind of caught on the game he just watched, caught on the rules he doesn’t understand but wants to figure out, caught on the wicked smiles showing off bloody teeth as they skated for their lives on bruised knees.
So, it’s kind of his fault, the fact that the two of them bump into each other—but, in his defense, the other guy is obviously tipsy, so. Yeah.
“Sorry,” Harley says, backing up with his hands held out in some kind of silent surrender. The crowd had been wild and lively, and he can see someone who regularly comes to watch derby being willing to start a fight over nothing.
The guy just laughs, though, bubbly and bursting out of him loud and unannounced. He’s got round, brown eyes that sparkle as he chuckles, matching brown hair that he pushes back from his forehead messily. “Nah,” the guy says. “My bad.”
Harley isn’t sure how to respond to that, do he doesn’t—but the guy doesn’t seem to mind, quickly quirking his brows as he scans Harley over, something calculated in his gaze.
“First time here?”
Though he isn’t sure where that came from, he can’t deny the truth. “Yeah. I’m not from here, but my friend insisted I come see a match.”
The guy pouts. Actually, literally pouts. “Aw. Does that mean we won’t be seeing you again?”
It takes a second, but Harley splutters out a laugh of his own. “Are you flirting with me?”
“I could be,” the guy says, nodding. “I’m also just curious. There’s try outs coming up, right? And I dunno how well you can skate, but you’ve got the legs for it. Maybe you should give it a shot.”
“Oh, you are definitely flirting with me.”
The guy laughs again, just as bright and twinkly as before. “Sure am. Is that a bad thing?”
Harley considers this, then says, “I don’t know you. I don’t even know your name.”
“Come to the try outs,” the guy suggests, taking a step back with something mischievous in his eyes, pulling at the ends of his lips. “Maybe you’ll find out.”
Unable to help it, Harley watches him walk away.

3 sentence prompt: Julie/Kayla + Roller Derby Au
Julie just needs to make one more pass.
She skirts around an opposing blocker, only to falter as the rest form a wall; most of her own blockers are too far behind to break them up or help her slip through.
But Kayla is there, and she takes Julie's hands, using her momentum to whip Julie through a gap Carrie makes. It's enough, and Julie's stomach flips as their victory is declared and she spins to face her team, locking eyes with Kayla, whose brilliant shine just screams I knew you could do it.
Maybe she still has one more pass to make.

did somebody say wrestling/roller derby fic?
probably not and this likely appeals to me and me alone but fuck it, i wanted to write the bucks showing off their shiny custom skates and mjf getting double penalties <3
doesn't require much if any derby knowledge, other than Bont and Antik are skate brands, and jammers are the point scorers in the team
wordcount: ~650
-
"Are those-"
Matt sticks his foot out with a smug smile. "The custom colour Bont Hybrid boots? Yup." They're horrendously garish; an absolutely awful colour combination that somehow manages to make his neon wheels look dull in comparison. Honestly, they're peak Buck skates.
"Read it and mother effing weep." Nick's don't look that much better. He sticks his own Bont skate out, different colours but still just as eye-watering, making Kyle look down at his own Antik boots with a more critical eye, which is stupid because they look fine. They're comfortable, they're plain black, and most importantly, they're broken in, because what kind of idiot brings brand new skates to a tournament? If they lose because the Bucks get fucking blisters-
He's distracted by a commotion on the inside of the track. The entirety of the Undisputed Elite look over with interest as the jammer from one of the other teams starts getting in one of the ref's faces. Kyle casts a surreptitious glance at the guy's skates, which are just as awful looking as the Bucks', but in a different way.
"Is he sponsored, with those skate covers?"
Matt makes a disgruntled noise. "Probably. Can't imagine it's doing them any favours, with his shitty attitude. He's had it in for Bryce ever since he gave him a low-block penalty at the last tournament."
"I'm pretty sure that low-block was on purpose, too," Nick adds. "Like, full-on, stuck his leg out and tripped me up when I passed him. Smashed my face into the track and bust my nose, so he's got it coming."
Kyle looks back up, watches the aforementioned jammer sticks a finger into the ref's chest
"-that was a directional penalty and you fucking know it-"
"-that was a legal block, 55, get back on the track before I give you a penalty-"
"-are you blind as well as stupid? He was pushing me backwards, I lost my established position, that's an illegal move-"
The referee blows hard on his whistle, places his left hand on his hip, pointing down with the right. "Pinnacle, 55, misconduct!"
"Are you fucking kidding me-"
"Go to the penalty box or it'll be an insubordination as well-"
"-oh you would, Remsburg, you biased piece of shit-"
Another hard blow on the whistle. Remsburg points at the floor with his left hand now, brushes his right hand down the length of it. "Pinnacle, 55, insubordination! Penalty box, now, before you get an expulsion from the tournament!"
The skater shoves his mouth guard in his pocket with a muffled scream of rage and skates furiously over to the penalty box for a one minute sit.
Bobby casts a glance to the rest of the now four-strong Pinnacle.
"Looks like they're making Wardog their new jammer," he laughs. Kyle watches as the tallest, biggest guy in the team takes the helmet cover with the star, and puts it on, bouncing on his toe stops, surprisingly agile for his size.
"I feel sorry for any team that has to try blocking him," Nick muses. "I'd just dive out of the way. Don't care how many points he scores, if I block him I'm getting pancaked."
"Yeah, I wonder what poor team's on against them- oh hey, Kenny's waving at us! Hey Kenny!"
Matt waves over at the scorekeeper's table, where Kenny's gesticulating wildly towards the track with his one good arm. "Wonder what he's waving for. I thought non-skating officials weren't supposed to favour any teams," Kyle wonders aloud.
"Thirty seconds!" Shouts the jam-timer. "Undisputed Elite, get on the track!"
Ah. That'd do it.
Nick looks over to the track despairingly, where Dax the Axe, Cash, and the Chairman are already in a tripod blocking formation, looking like the bad guys in an 80s high school sports movie, even with a one man disadvantage.
"Let's get this over with," Adam Cole says with a despondent sigh, grabbing the jammer's helmet cover and putting it on. Kyle doesn't envy him.
It's only two minutes, he tells himself. Two minutes of getting bodied out of the way by a behemoth of a man, while his team's points scorer gets held in place, futilely trying to push his way past three other huge units.
Longest two minutes of his life.
---
notes on penalties:
directional is pushing a player in anti-derby direction, such that they are forced to move backwards, a surprising no no!
misconduct is being a dick to the refs, insubordination is not going to the penalty box the first time, many derby players have a penalty they always seem to get, and i feel these would be max's lmao

Summary:
Owen and Billy take in a roller derby double header with the 126, but Billy worries his presence is less than welcome.
Finally, the skaters started lining up on the track, hip to hip with their teammates and jostling for position. Billy watched as the Divas’ jammer bounced on her toes and shook out her limbs, nervous anticipation palpable even from the stands. For her part, the pink jammer looked calm. She lingered behind the other jammer and exchanged a quick nod with Marjan, who was lined up on the inside line.
One of the refs yelled a five second warning. A hush fell over the crowd, the arena thick with electric anticipation like the moment before the first clap of thunder. A beat. And then another. With a sharp whistle blast, they were off.

strawberry jam 🖇️
written by nonchalantenfant
“Chaeyoung! I mean, she’s way too young for me. God! How could I ever think about her as someone who’s...bangable?"
A roar interrupts their conversation. “TWICE, TWICE, TWICE!” Chaeyoung chants, crossing her arms to grab at the hem of her shirt. Nayeon realizes where this is going too late, so she’s helpless to look away from Chaeyoung ripping her shirt off, revealing a smattering of tattoos and ripped abs crawling up to her sports bra.
Nayeon gulps.
// Nayeon realizes that Chaeyoung is now a tall glass of water. And she’s thirsty.

Help a cat and their WIPS
Howdy! If you have no clue who am I, wonder no longer: I'm an orange tabby cat that writes fanfic in their free time. And I'm also a little too obsessed with Pedro Pascal's characters.
I maintain a spreadsheet with all my WIPs and when my job allows me to breathe (yes, even a cat has to work), I dig in there and get my little paws to write a new chapter. However, since the last few months have been chaotic I couldn't properly give a follow to all my WIPs. I have too many ideas, too much to write, but little time. My current series will be updated, they are marked in the poll below.
If you are into reading fanfic or just the PP fandom and could spend a minute to vote, I would purr all my love to you. 🐾

A rant about yokai architecture that slowly develops into the Magical Yokai Lifespan Theory.
The hidden city seems to be a very religious place. Well, I personally associate statues and very decorated architecture with religion... or more intense religious groups, ex: Catholicism. There seems to me lots of public places scattered throughout the hidden city that don't look like they serve much anything other than worship. Do you think Baron Draxum could be religious? I remember I read a fic that made up a lot of lore about yokai society and I accept as sort of canon. Also, for how different the hidden city looks, the people have really adapted different human cultures. We know the city itself is really fucking old but we know that some yokai age like humans. Remember that cat lady yokai that we saw in that one episode about Splinter manipulating Donnie into putting the turtle tank in a roller derby? We see at the beginning of the episode, in the flashback, that she's young but at the end of the episode, in the present, she's old. Probably as old as Splinter. And she has health issues. Meaning some yokai do age and deteriorate in health like humans. Idk what I'm getting at here. I just noticed a lot about yokai culture.
Tbh, with how modern some yokai are, I feel like there could be some metaphor for colonialism made here. So we see, Baron is probably one of the yokai that live a long time with no health issues. We also see he's very good with magic as well as science. But I'm focusing on the magic part. I think the more yokai stray from magic, the more mortal they become.
I present to you: The Magical Yokai Lifespan Theory! I feel like we view the yokai as some sort of ethereal beings capable of reaching godhood. But I think they are capable dying of outside forces but if they are in touch with their ancestorial magic connections, they can't die of old age. With the modern age of humans, yokai have found different ways to safely go up top, separating them further from their magical connections, making them get physically older. I think the council of heads are really fucking old or immortal because they are quite literally the magic that runs through the hidden city. Or are very connected to it. I believe they might be as old as, or older than the hidden city.
That's just what I think, what about you?
