footballers when theyre scared

requested by anon!!! dude i feel like i owe you a PERSONAL apology for how absurdly late this is,,, i had finals, what can you do. thank you for requesting <3

leo: his eyes widen by half (.5) a millimeter.

ney: jumps ten feet in the air, lets out a high-pitched scream, n adamantly denies it when its brought up later.

luis: immediately punches whoevers next to him. like without even thinking. its his genuine fear response.

luka: at first he covers his face n lets out a quiet lil squeal, then when the adrenaline wears off he starts swearing in croatian.

alisson: poor lad. hes already pretty anxious, so if one of his teammates scare him as a prank he'll be shaken up for a couple hours afterwards.

paulo: hes dragged to some kinda haunted house attraction or something, n every time someone jumpscares him he jus,,, screams back at them. yknow, like a psychopath.

sergio: essentially (and loudly) rattles off every swear that exists, in english and spanish! if its a person that scared him, he will grab em n threaten em in that,,, special way only he knows.

muller: this man. lets out the most ear bleeding, glass shattering, LOUDEST fuckin scream ever recorded in human history, all bc he saw a bug or some shit.

erling: fight or flight kicks in n his ass chooses FLIGHT. books it outta there fast enough to break the sound barrier. may or may not end up knocking a few ppl over in his hurry.

mourinho: oh you gotta be careful with him. hes so genuinely high-strung that a good scare runs the risk of sending him into cardiac arrest (it is for this reason that all horror movies are off the table when the roma players do movie night).

#so im actually typing this at like midnight thirty #but imma post it tomorrow cause who tf is up rn #leo messi #neymar #luis suarez #luka modric #alisson becker #paulo dybala #sergio ramos #thomas muller #erling haaland #jose mourinho #roma

So... I don't really know where to start this meta thing I'm going to attempt to write here? I suppose I'll begin with what prompted me to really think of this and want to write the whole thing: there's a new Buffyverse book that's come out, about a new Slayer (it's called "Sign of the Slayer"), and from having read some reviews for it on Amazon, I guess the MC falls in love with a vampire in it. And I should mention that I'm really not trying to knock this novel here. At all (especially since I'm sure it's a fine book). I mean, I haven't read it, so it's not fair for me to have any opinion on it as a novel at all.

My issue, however, is the whole the Slayer in it being in love with a vampire thing. And it's definitely not the first thing to do it. And that's my problem: that this is sort of starting to become a trend.

I'll admit that I got into Buffy the Vampire Slayer pretty late (namely because I was too young to watch it when it was airing). I think I first watched it and Angel around 2018, or something like that. And I knew from cultural osmosis that both Angel and Spike where characters who were vampires in the show, and ones that would be love interests for Buffy. And I just remember feeling before watching the show, "She's a vampire slayer and she has a relationship with two vampires? She must not be doing her job very well." And I felt like the show would be something like The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, and/or Twilight (Bella doesn't have two vampire love interests. Rather it's a paranormal love triangle between her, a vampire, and a werewolf, but you know what I mean)... when that couldn't be further from the truth.

Joss Whedon himself said that he felt that when he was doing the Buffy and Angel relationship that, yeah, it was a bit of a cliché: but it felt like one he had to do: one, because the chemistry between Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz was off the charts. And two, that it was just kind of too perfect, that Buffy would fall for the one person that she was meant to destroy.

And you know what? I definitely think Buffy and Angel worked, for the most part. Buffy started to fall for Angel before she knew that he was a vampire, so it was probably impossible to halt those feelings even when she did learn the truth. Whereas Angel is taken to see Buffy when she's Called to be the Slayer, and it gives him something to fight for for the first time ever, really.

After a hundred years of just wallowing in guilt because of the things he did after getting his soul, he now realizes he can do more--and try to make amends--by helping her in the good fight, and trying to help this poor girl who wouldn't have much of a chance without him, and who has no idea the things she's really about to face.

And when he sees her parents fighting about her that night (the first night she had to sneak out to slay a vampire), about whose fault it was their child snuck out, Angel sees himself in her--because his own life used to be like that. And he wants to protect her from some of the fall-out of what happened to him.

Then they meet and fall in love (partially because they can understand each other like no one else can, in that both of them are creatures who neither fully belong in the human or demon world. There's a demon in the Slayer, too)... the vampire thing is revealed, and they realize there can never be anything between them and try to stay apart, but can't.

They truly start dating in S2, and are happy, but then they learn more about the curse that was put on Angel that returned his soul: if he ever experiences a moment of pure happiness, he'll lose his soul and become a monster again. Which happens, because he loves Buffy too much (after one night of passion between the two). So Angel and Buffy become enemies, and when he eventually tries to destroy the world she has to send him to Hell.

He does come back a year later (with his soul back, after Willow restored it). And they try to make a go at it again, but they can't ever really be together--and deep down, they know they're kidding themselves and there's no real chance for them--and eventually Angel leaves for his own show, to continue fighting in L.A. instead of Sunnydale (after Buffy's given him the confidence that he really can do good). And they'll have some crossovers after that: always being there for the other, if the other needs them and connected.

It works because their story is tragic... and that they know a Slayer and vampire can't be together. There's also just something so deep and profound, that Buffy and Angel are perfect for each other, in that they'll always put the fate of the world before their own selfish desires--as any good person should--but that's the exact reason they can't be together.

But then, later, they try to do stuff with Spike... And even when I was more of a Spuffy fan, it still worked less for me and I was starting to feel that, "This is giving Buffy a bad look" thing (even if I get how people might argue it instead shows that she realizes the world isn't black and white). Like, writers, if you're saying that Buffy and Angel can never work/should never work because Buffy's a Slayer and Angel's a vampire, why are you almost acting like that's not true of Buffy and Spike, then? And the fact that this becomes Buffy's second vampire lover... like I could accept one, the way they handled it. But two? Really?

There was Buffy and Dracula stuff, of course, too. And Buffy definitely didn't have feelings for Dracula, as she was under thrall the whole time with him. But he's the only vampire she ever drank the blood of. And there was probably supposed to at least be a physical attraction, since originally they'd planned to cast Freddie Prinze Jr in the role.

Then in Boom's first Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU, Xander got turned into a vampire and Buffy wasn't sure if she loved him or not.

And people probably don't count this--and probably for good reason--but Ford was someone Buffy had a crush on before she came to Sunnydale... but in dying of brain cancer (and not wanting to die a slow, painful death), and knowing Buffy was the Slayer, he came to Sunnydale and made a deal with Spike and Drusilla that he would lead her into a trap for them if they changed him. And he succeeded in this... even though she escaped, and they of course didn't get to kill her, so they turned him, and Buffy had to stake him at the end of the episode.

In the "In Every Generation" series, Frankie likes a demon (Aspen, as well. These two Slayers are in love with the same one). But, I guess, at least that's a demon instead of a vampire to make it somewhat different.

And I'm worried the new Slayer in "Slayers" will be in love with a vampire...

I also just know that if the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot show would have happened (if it had been a sequel, instead of a reboot. Because if it would have been a reboot, I would have been okay with Buffy falling in love with Angel again. Even though I would have wanted it to be just Angel. Or Angel and Spike combined into one character for the aforementioned reasons. -shot-), they would have had her fall for a vamp, too.

(I haven't finished reading "Slayer" and "Chosen" yet. So far, I'm not getting the impression that Nina will fall for a vamp, because she's so anti-Buffy, but I could also be wrong. And maybe this could be part of her character development, in realizing the world isn't in black and white as she thought. IDK. I'll keep reading.)

Let's also not forget Faith hitting on Angel and Spike. Though, to be honest, I'm less inclined to count this... because I think we all know she really didn't want them, but Buffy instead.

But, I mean, can we stop? I thought our Slayer Buffy having a thing for a vampire was supposed to be special?

And now, for the heck of it, I'm going to go through any Slayer I can think of who has had a thing for not just vampires (but also those, of course), but a magical being:

The Slayer in the "Girl in Question," who was not Buffy, who slept with the Immortal.

In Buffy season 8, the "Twilight" prophecy is talked about. It seems like a Slayer was meant to have sex with a vampire for this prophecy--this was a part of the next stage of evolution--and they were then meant to evolve even more together (into gods, create a new world together, etc.). This is clearly Buffy and Angel, but I guess there was one point where a group of Watchers had thought it had happened earlier than this--and the prophecy was coming to pass--and they all killed themselves because of it. So was there some sort of vampire and Slayer romance back then (probably not. The comics at least make it clear that Buffy was the first Slayer to ever have sex with a vampire). Unless it was romance between these two (at least temporarily), and it just didn't go as far as sex. Or maybe it was none of this, and they didn't know that part of the prophecy (about Twilight happening because of love because of a Slayer and vampire) at all yet.

Kennedy with Willow, who is a witch.

In one of the Buffy "Tales of the Vampires" comics, this guy and this girl are best friends (it's also pretty clear they like each other). The guy gets turned into a vampire, however... He then finds out his best friend was a Slayer (this is after Buffy activated the Slayers in S7). The two of them are fighting at the end of the story, and it ends on a cliffhanger about who will win. But you kind of get the sense that the vampire will, and that he'll turn the Slayer.

Melaka Fray, at the very least, acknowledges after Angel has this powerful leader moment why her sister Erin thinks that Angel and Spike are hot, even if she still thinks she's a deviant for it. LOL

Satsu with Buffy, who is a Slayer.

Faith with the hitting on Angel and Spike, mentioned above, while surely really wanting Buffy. She also got with Robin Wood, who is the son of a Slayer and has some slight powers because of that. And I also swear there was something between her and Gigi in the comics, who was another Slayer. And that, maybe, the comics were hinting at something between her and Willow in the end.

Gigi: I feel like she and Faith had some feelings for each other (both of these girls being Slayers). And it also seemed like Gigi felt for her one guardian figure (it's been a while since I've read S8). Who was some sort of warlock or sorcerer, who ended up betraying her in the end?

Edit: And, yes. I get why some probably think these relationships work best for Slayers, because Slayers have demons in them and vampires and demons do too, obviously. Or because Slayers have super strength and these beings are strong like them and won't get hurt, and that's fair. (People also find Slayer/human relationships boring, the way they've been portrayed in the Buffyverse.)

But I still think Slayer/human relationships could be done (and at this point, it would actually be more original than pairing a Slayer with a demon): like look at how people love the idea of the Buffy Summers/Dean Winchester crossover ship. It can be done. It just needs to be done right.

#we don't know who robin wood's father was but i assume he was human #i want to headcanon some other relationships here but i won't #in 'child of the hunt' it becomes clear that the 'erl king' loved the slayer lucy hanover but it definitely seemed like she didn't love hi #though. to be fair. we don't get her pov of it at all. but i really doubt it since he took her captive until she escaped and all #i mean that's what the wild hunt does. but still #buffy the vampire slayer #slayers #slayers and vampire relationships #slayer and demon relationships #slayer and supernatural creature relationships #i guess i might as well mention my one headcanon here since i edited the post to list some of the ones i have after all. but this truly is #headcanon heavy--and i don't really know if it's much canon at all. so that's why i'm not putting it the post itself--but i wonder if nadir #might have had slight feelings for the slayer that she was so adamant that angel find a way to bring back or she would kill him #the one who was maybe youngest of their group but was also the sweetest and best person you would ever meet according to them or something #like that. who became an unwitting pawn/victim of eyghon's #the slayers

To everyone saying haaland deserves the Ballon d'Or and not messi

We all know the astronomical pressure Argentina had to win the World Cup. Shouldn't we prioritize circumstances and narrative over stats? Haaland can win the premiere league, lift that champions league, take the fa cup home, and end his season with 55 goals. That STILL does not beat the narrative of Messi living under Maradona's shadow his entire career. FINALLY, after a glorious career, winning the World Cup and sealing his place in the history of football, I think, takes the cake.

If there ever was a Ballon d'Or winning season for a player, this season for haaland couldn't be more of a perfect example. As compared to that, we're talking about the best World Cup campaign of our generation. One that is going to embed itself as a very prominent one in the entire history of football!! Haaland is here to stay, and we all know that. The robot isn't going to stop, and I think that applies for the next season. I mean, imagine Haaland doing what he's doing now from the VERY beginning of the season. The point is, haaland WILL get that Ballon d'Or sooner or later. But we're talking about Messi and his legacy. I think that triumphs any day.

#say what you wabt to say #but if messi doesn't win it then its blasphemy at its best #thats coming from a person who adores haaland and his tap in goals #and thats exactly the reason why i think messi deserves it #if haaland didnt have majority of tap in goals then the argument would still stand #messi has just done way too much for mr tap in to win #messi #erling haaland #lionel messi #man city #manchester city

It’s mind-boggling to me that people think that Haaland deserves the Ballon d’Or over Messi. By no means am I trying to undermine Haaland’s achievements, the treble is no small feat and the number of goals he scored last season is insane, but winning the World Cup is the pinnacle of a players career, especially in the fashion that Messi did as the best and most dominant player of the tournament. Not to mention that beyond goals, Messi has better stats than Haaland in all other categories. More chances created, more assists, higher G/A contribution, I could go on. I’d also like to add that Messi scored like 30+ goals as well last season, which is also pretty insane considering his age. The last thing I’ll add that really pisses me off that people are now trying to undermine the World Cup as just some 4-week tournament, like the World Cup has always been regarded as the most prestigious team trophy their is. Countless players have stated how much they would love to win the World Cup for their country, and to just brush it under the rug to try and make the treble, which again is no small feat, seem better by comparison is insane.

I don't even think it's about world cup v. ucl or any other competition in a way that can be generalized for any season (it would be hypocritical of me if I acted like I thought the world cup was the end all be all now when I haven't in the past) but yes, it's just very stupid to act like leo doesn't deserve it this season

#to me it's just very like 'wow you don't think he deserves it? you want a cookie?' #very incendiary twitter take in the vein of the current pedri haters #anyone who knows football and isn't a stupid hater knows he absolutely deserves it and if he hadn't gotten it it would've been insane #of course rodri kevin erling etc all had great seasons and I would like them to be rewarded by an award for it too... but well they were #unlucky to have it be the same time as leo's #ballon d'or #ask #anon #answered #lionel messi #leo messi

Shirley, I saw the asks about you're having British accent. While I can hear that on your writing, the 'you know' you drop at the end of sentence sounds very Asian to me. Singlish, probably, because I often hear that from people in Singapore and Malaysia (usually they say something like you know laaah~). Sometimes I say it too to emphasize the meaning.

I wish I took sociolinguistic seriously in uni because it's an interisting topic tbh. 😁

sociolinguistics???? that sounds SO cool the me that wished she took linguistics in uni is literally foaming at the mouth 🤣🤣🤣

ive always thought i had a pretty standard norcal/valley girl accent since i grew up in sf and was surrounded basically by valley girls. trying to get 'literally' 'like' 'so' out of my speech is an ongoing battle 😔 i do truncate and lose consonants while speaking, but thats harder to translate over the written word, as is my vocal fry. i adopted all this fancy vocabulary out of PURE spite from the first 2 years of schooling spent in esl 🤣🤣🤣

i picked up 'you know' (and puns) from valley girls stanning kim seokjin for....7....? years.....gods im old. my dad has been told often that he sounds singaporean and everytime he gets so insulted like his hk spirit is crushed x2 super effective damage 🤣🤣🤣 i wonder what he'll think when i tell him ppl think im singaporean chinese 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yall have me convinced! i hope the next time i open my mouth in london ppl will stop looking at me like i commited unspeakable crimes on their royal language when the american accent IS actually the og british accent smh

#erl i typed a whole response and then tumblr ate it for elevenses TTTTTTTTTT #anyways ERL THE CACKLE I LET OUT AT 'YOU KNOW LAH' IM CRYING #gods i havent been back in sf since.....2011.........and the states since.......2017............wow im OLD #gotta go back stateside before they revoke my american citizenship 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #the next time some poor sod goes 'where are you FROM from' im gonna go 'yea im actually british you god me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯' #man i miss skateboarding down those hills......hk has hills but nothing beats sf you know? and macau is basically a pancake in comparison #i did spend like 2 years in vancouver and 1 year in france during the ~formative~ years and thats why i still have some british spelling #and now ive lived in a former british colony for a couple years teaching british english so im not That surprised? #but its really interesting to go from ditzy vapid valley girl to nerdy bougie british you know? #im very flattered even if you heard me you would be like......who invited this cali girl in? or WORST abg if ur a problematic yt man 🤣 #ans #muwutuals

[kylewalker-peters]

other teams in the bundesliga strengthening their team and removing unused players from the squad this transfer window and dortmund have seen that and gone oh yeah well watch this and just kicked themselves in the face with their own football boots

#what if you sold your best player and then just sort of fucked around and did nothing else #but also like dortmund and spurs both sold their best player for a big amount of money and while both can say the transfer window certainly #happened to them it feels like a difference despite selling their best player spurs bought maddison which softened the blow and is #a player that can go and help win games for us whereas dortmund sold jude and it's like okay but who's gonna replace what he did? #you're not going to get an equivalent in any way but like where is a player that could win a game? where is a player that can really #influence a match? #like both have been arse but spurs are wining the war here #also this is the first year truly (tho I'm still firmly gio and jbg and mouki and karim nation) where we haven't had an out and out STARBOY #to focus on and who we know will come through for us to win the way jadon and erling and jude did
