im obsessed with stories that have a fixed ending before they even start. stories with narrators who are crying as they tell it because there is only one way this can end.
there is only one way this can go.
stories where the characters might know how it all ends and beg the audience to change it, knowing they can't. stories where the characters are unaware, but given the people they are and the situations they're in- well, what else are they supposed to do?
stories that are loops. that start with everyone dying and getting back up again to do it one more time.
because this time, maybe, it will be different.
the narrator cries.
All For The Game (Original Series Soundtrack) Songs from Season Two of Netflix’s All For The Game (Season One) ▸ ready set let’s go · sam tinnesz ∟ Neil closed his eyes and breathed. He locked away everything he was, burying his father and Nathaniel and the Moriyamas into a mental safe for later. He didn’t need or want any of that right now. All that mattered was this game: the racquet in his hands, the Ravens’ goal, and the clock counting down seconds to serve overhead. He wasn’t Neil right now. He wasn’t anything or anyone but a Fox, and he had a game to play. The buzzer sounded to start the game and Neil raced up the court. ▸ mansions · matt champion ∟ It wasn’t far to Nicky’s old house. The Hemmicks lived in a two-storey home in the suburbs of southern Columbia. ▸ no one’s here to sleep · naughty boy, bastille ∟ Andrew touched Aaron’s temple where he himself was injured as if he expected to find an identical injury there. “Did he touch you?” “What did he-” […] “Answer me. I said, did he touch you?”. ▸ mr. sandman - piano and violin version · SYML ∟ Riko pressed the knife to Neil’s chest and slipped the edge under his skin. “I’m going to make this as terrible as I know how,” Riko promised him. “When it’s too much for you, don’t hesitate to cry.” ▸ can you afford to be an individual? · nothing but thieves ∟ Neil threw the bathroom door open and cut the light on. The face waiting for him on the mirror was horrible enough to take his legs out from under him. […] Neil had dyed his hair brown from time to time, but never this shade, never anywhere near this shade. This was his natural color, and those were his real eyes, and this was his father’s face.
I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
All For The Game (Original Series Soundtrack) Songs from Season One of Netflix’s All For The Game ▸ run boy run · woodkid ∟ “Don’t worry about me. I’ll go for a run or something.” ▸ monster · colours ∟ Kevin dug Andrew’s medicine out of his pocket and handed the bottle over. He and Wymack watched as Andrew tipped a pill into his hand and swallowed it dry. ▸ everybody gets high · MISSIO ∟ Neil could feel the drugs eating through his system. His heart pounded harder than the bass did, shaking him apart from the inside out. ▸ watch me · jaden ∟ None of the Foxes expected to win that night, as they were opening the season against their longtime rivals Breckenridge. ▸ bury a friend · billie eilish ∟ “If he didn’t have his pills on him, how did he overdose?” “Not by choice,” Andrew said. “My theory says Riko won this round.” Neil stared at him. “You don’t really think Riko did this.” “I think the timing’s too convenient for it to be an accident,” Andrew said.
Sorry for the long wait guys, but here's my newest piece fawn! As promised, this doc is free for use as a big thank you for all the support that I've been receiving. It is complete with 5 sections: general, appearance, personality, backstory, and an extra page.
This doc is more-so of a minimalist aesthetic with very few images. It holds a light, delicate feel with thick borders that make the contrasting white pop out. I hope you enjoy this, and feel free to edit however you wish -- all I ask is that you DO NOT REMOVE CREDIT.
How to edit:
To edit the pictures, right click on the image and select "replace image." DO NOT COPY AND PASTE PICTURES INTO THE DOC. This will cause elements to shift and the design to break.
DO NOT REMOVE CREDIT.
Feel free to change whatever aspect you'd like! The colours are fairly easy to change and manipulate as you please.
This doc contains drawing elements. To edit, simply double click on the image and the menu will pop up -- allowing you to edit the colour, font, anything you wish!
If you would like to remove the background detail, right click over top of the image and click "select image." Bring it to the front and move it how you wish or even delete it to your preference.
As always, if you have any questions at all, feel free to message me!
I always appreciate likes and reblogs. Thank you for being so amazing, and I hope to bring a new doc soon! (School has been kicking my ass, fr fr).

me when i see new cornetto fans following me or in the tags:
1-4. They are tightly focused on their singular area of influence. Roll once on the following table. 5-6. Roll twice on the following table. The first result is the field they openly deal in, or what those who know them mostly know them for. The second result is the field they are secretly trying to infiltrate or influence. 7. They serve as a mediary between two spheres, or between certain groups within two spheres. Roll twice on the following table. 8. Roll three times on the following table. The first two results are the fields they openly deal in, or what those who know them mostly know them for. The third result is the field they are secretly trying to infiltrate or influence. 9. They’re jugglers, jacks of all trades. Roll three times on the following table for areas they regularly deal in, plus one time for a field they have their sights on breaking into. 10. They’re everywhere. Roll once on the following table for the one circle they can’t show their faces in anymore.
1. Government/Politics/Law Enforcement 2. Religion/Faith/Cults 3. Crime/Black Market/Underworld 4. Guilds/Trades/Organized Labor 5. Business/Merchants/Corporations 6. Knowledge/Information/Research
1. Just a few people devoted to a cause. 2. Enough people that it’s hard to get them all in a meeting together, but not enough people to really split into multiple sub-groups. 3. Enough people to crew a large vessel 4. A pretty big group, church congregation sized. 5. Enough people to populate a neighborhood. 6. If this entire group mobilized it would be a full-scale army.
1. Broke. It’d be a dream just to break even. 2. Surviving. They can get what they need, but can’t afford to expand or to have a large unforeseen expense. 3. Middling. Can use money to further their agenda but must be selective about doing so. 4. Comfortable. This group can afford to make investments. 5. Well-off. Their investments are paying off. 6. Rolling in it. They can solve most problems by throwing money at them.
1. Brand new. This faction hasn’t existed long enough to have done anything of note. 2. Recent. This faction is probably still made up mostly of founding members, but has had time to make a name for itself. 3. Established. People remember this faction being founded. It may have some original members, but if it does they are old. 4. Pretty Old. This group was established before the oldest currently living generation was born, but in the lifetime of their parents or grandparents. 5. Old. This group was founded hundreds of years ago and has played a roll in many historical events. 6. Ancient. This group may predate the current civilization, and is seen all throughout history books.
1. Bumbling. This group is incompetent and lacks basic knowledge. 2. Shoddy. They know just enough to get themselves into trouble. 3. Mediocre. There are no experts in this group but they have meaningful skills. 4. Competent. This group employs some actual experts but still has real gaps in their abilities. 5. Highly skilled. They may not be the absolute best in the business but this group can use skill to address most challenges. 6. Only the Best. This group has a reputation for their expertise.
4-8 Nobodies. Who even are these losers? 9-12 Small fish in a big pond. This faction has an impact on certain individuals or niches, but are still unimportant enough that none of the big players pay them any mind 13-16 Up and Coming. Enough influence that they need to be careful not to upset the highest tier factions lest they get squashed. 17-20 The big leagues. This faction has a great deal of power but is not infallible. 21-24 Powerhouses. If there is only one faction at this level, they are functionally in charge of the society. If there are multiple factions at this level, their conflicts and machinations can have devastating fallout for ordinary people.

the worst part about disability and struggling, is that the struggle just seems to continue, and honestly? get worse and worse. so yes, i know, like, "hey, it's me again! needing help..." but as my wait for disability/SSI continues, the harder and harder it is getting to survive. i'm on the verge of losing my home and my car (that transports me to health appointments and my partner to work). like many others in america, they took away our food stamps. to make things harder, as you may know, my mom has recently had 2 heart attacks and 3 different surgeries, which has only increased my struggle by tenfold, because instead of paying certain bills, we had to use our very limited income to pay for gas to get back and forth from the city hospital (3hrs away) multiple times, bandaging and other medical expenses her insurance doesn't cover, and things of the like.
being disabled is catching up to me, being the caretaker for my disabled mom is catching up to me. i'm so far behind it's absolutely terrifying. under the cut you can find my more important bills and a breakdown of things i need.
i know that life is really hard for everyone right now, everything is so expensive and assistive programs are so depleted, so i definitely want to offer what i can for any help received. this idea was 100% inspired by lomapacks, and i did ask permission to use it before doing this! so here we go.
how much do i need? basically i'm $2,291.11 behind in bills, plus have literally nothing for food or gas, which if we add it up for a month or so would then be like almost $3k.
how does the raffle work? for every dollar spent commissioning, you will earn an entry! for every dollar donated of good will, you will earn 3 entries! example, if you order $15 worth of gifs (150 gifs), you will have 15 entries! if you donate $15, you will have 45 entries! (or if you donate $1 = 3 entries, $3 = 6 entries, etc)
what are the prizes?
first place: 1500 gifs, 5 manips of your choosing, 1 crackship gifset
second place: 1000 gifs, 3 manips, 1 crackship gifset
third place: 500 gifs, 2 manips, 1 crackship gifset
every single person that commissions or donates gets: 1 manip
when will the raffle end? the raffle will continue until i've reached the massive goal, so it really depends on how quickly i can climb out of this financial grave! i'm hoping that it can be as quickly as possible!
what do you do to join? you can find my payment info below to donate or commission. if you plan to commission, please message me first so we can sort out what it's for/how much! then, please fill out the form in the source link when payment is completed. :)
when will everything be delivered? commissions will be completed in the order they were received, and delivered as soon as i can possibly get them done. once the raffle ends, the raffle prizes will be delivered upon your request for them and completed as soon as possible! i will try to deliver the manips for everyone same-day!

RENT
CAR PAYMENT
UTILITIES (2 mo overdue, power will be shut off soon)
other important things i don't have screenshots of:
some things are on my amazon wishlist like my cats special food.
FOOD: we have no food stamps. the need for food money will not necessarily end. food banks only provide so much.
car maintenance: overdue for oil change and the brakes are squeaking badly (oil change is like $50 around here plus brakes idk maybe $80?)
gas: to transport myself to health appointments and my wife to work.
