I Apologize For The Person I Will Become When The Olympics Start And The USWNT Start Playing

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

It's very late, I'm a tiny bit tipsy but I definitely won't have time tomorrow, and if my inbox is anything to go by, y'all really want your pazzi crumbs so here y'all go (I might do a proper recap about the game later but we'll see)

Also I know I said I lowkey wanted Paige to leave but you guys seeing the way gampel loves her (like IT WAS LOUD and lowkey didn't even hear her say the "I'm coming back" part because everyone was screaming already) and seeing the way she loves them back, ugh I'm just so happy she gets that again for one more year and I just hope it's everything she wants.

Anyways onto what you're here for:

The scream I screamed when Azzi came out in the #5 jersey like I think I scared some people (read: the girl next to me even though she should be used to my bullshit by now). But when I tell y'all it was a MOMENT, for me and for Paige. I'm sure she knew it was happening but I have no idea if she'd seen Azzi in that jersey before the moment. But girlie's eyes were glued for a good minute. Like they were doing their warmups and stuff they do, and Azzi was walking around the court saying hi to people and Paige was distracted as hell. Then Azzi finally got to her and bruh the smirk on this bitch's face like WE GET IT. That's your girl, in your jersey. She definitely made some smartass comment cause Azzi rolled her eyes. Like you guys I wish I had videoed this interaction, even if it would have come out blurry as fuck, because I swear it's better than anything I can ever write, literally straight out of a fic vibes.

KK also definitely made some smartass comment cause Azzi full just shoved her at some point. Princess was getting teased by everyone today I think because she was blushing and rolling her eyes a lot and whoever was around her was laughing with teasing eyes.

They gravitate to each other so much, like so much it's kinda insane. Especially before the game, like as soon as Azzi was out of the tunnel (injured players come out a couple of minutes after the other players), even when they're not really even interacting each other, they're in each other's orbiit. Y'all like it's kinda ridiculous. And I was at the Texas game last year (was not as invested back then so maybe that's why) but I swear they weren't this attached yet.

Also seeing Azzi so happy and carefree pregame, I already knew Paige was definitely staying.

Small moment during the foul with Amari that was being reviewed, the non-injured players were huddled and the injured players were still on the bench. And Paige just kept looking back at Azzi and at some point Aaliyah like elbowed her and gave her a knowing look before also turning back and looking at Azzi.

Also I swear when they're slapping hands, both of them tend to linger just a second longer than they do with other people.

Speaking of people teasing Azzi, Paige's mom gave her the biggest smirk when she saw her after the game. Like she looked at the jersey and then like titled her head a little bit and then they hugged and it was so sweet. Before that she was messing around with all of Paige's siblings. You can just tell the comfort level is different because at this point, everyone's close to everyone's families to an extent, but it's just different with Azzi and Paige's family.

Back to gravitating, as soon as Paige was done with the SNY interview and interacting with fans, she was back in Azzi's orbit. Like they don't really touch and stuff because they're clearly aware there's so many people, but you can see they kinda want to? But they were just talking after. They're so tethered, like I know and y'all know, but when you see it in person it's kinda insane to observe.

Alright that's all I can remember right now but I'll see if I can remember more. But man it was just such an emotional night and ugh I love this senior class so much and seeing them get the love they deserve made me so happy. They deserve everything.

couldn’t stop working on my kissy rizzles sketches :>  pls ignore how not accurate jane’s hair is in the last one

even 100 rewatches later I’m STILL waiting for them to kiss goodbye whenever Jane says “alright, I’ll see you later” or “ok. see you at home, Maura”

I’m rewatching the half of it and it only just started but im crying cause alice wu really did this she had her own paul who stopped being her friend because she’s gay and that was her first heartbreak after coming out and she wrote this movie as a way to work through it but she gave ellie a happy ending with her paul and had him say “I never want to be the guy who stops loving someone for loving the way that they want to love.” 

fuck people who criticized this movie for “not being gay enough” fuck them all GOD

Full Match Downloads

My Drive - I'll add videos here as I finish recording them - These videos were / will be recorded with ffmpeg because they are not encrypted so I didn't / won't have to use a screen recorder :) - The 15-minute break between the halves are included in the recordings. I decided not to edit the raw recorded videos because that would have taken more time, especially if I want to keep the file size down.

It was a difficult day of filming because I love Brenda so much. And we sort of we started on the show together. And we sort of you know, we were there together the whole time. So filming that was not easy. And I was sort of almost afraid to watch it because I was like a bowl of snot. And most of that wasn’t acting, that was just me going (in a weepy voice) “Oh, Brenda it’s been five years!” And she’s just so elegant, and so amazing. And I’m like an Irish potato. Like, a mess everywhere. So hopefully it comes across. ~ Katie McGrath

It was interesting, because Katie [McGrath] was having a rough day, the day that we shot Brenda [Strong]’s death, but the second that they started rolling the cameras, Katie was just weeping. All these relationships are so loaded, and we’ve had such a great time building these dynamics that it was very easy to access all those feelings. ~ Jon Cryer

It’s the perfect crime. We give the gays everything they want right up until they just die! X

is there a fic where lena luthor does this 70 questions by vogue kind of thing but instead of vogue, its catco?

lena's wearing this white flowy dress with a sun hat and theyre walking around this sprawling but warm mansion of a home. and the interview is as boring as it could get, questions like; 'whats ur go to noonan's coffee order?', 'best time to take a nap?' 'have u broken an erlenmeyer flask before?'

BUT BuT at the very end, lena leads the reporter out unto her backyard anD ThEN AND THEN!!!! we get a glimpse of this really ripped woman doing push-ups out on the grass.

and the reporter's like: "IM SORRY MS. LUTHOR, IS- IS THAT- IS THAT KARA DANVERS DOING PUSH-UPS IN UR GARDEN????"

and lena just goes: "why yes. that is kara."

and kara sees them, stands up, walks over with the brightest grin plastered on her face at the sight of lena. and the reporter goes, "MS. DANVERS! WOW. WHAT ARE U DOING HERE??!? I certainly did NOT expect my boss from catco to be here!"

and kara all sweaty and half-naked in a sports bra goes "Brad what're talkin about mister? What do u mean what am I doing here? IN MY HOME? WITH MY WIFE??"

and then kara kisses lena on the lips and u just know the reporter is having a stroke behind the camera.

Lena offers no explanation, already too distracted and thirsty for kara to focus on anything else. She just claps her hands together, says, "well i think we're done for the day, dont u think brad?" and she just dismisses him like nothing. Then all of a sudden lena's getting bridal carried back into the house, and u can hear them talking about dinner plans, "i didnt know ur interview was today. Want me to cook tonight?" unaware that the camera is STILL rolling.

"uh uhm so, that has been lena luthor in 70 questions with catco."

AND THAT, MY FRENS, IS HOW I WANT LENA LUTHOR TO REVEAL HER MARRIAGE TO NONE OTHER THAN CATCO MEDIA EXECUTIVE KARA DANVERS.

I've seen a lot of discussion around Tobin and which team she might end up in and let me share my opinion on it.

First off, none of us know what Tobin wants so any discussion around why a specific team did not happen should take that into account. Maybe she did not want it as well.

Secondly, she is nearing the end of her career and she might have dreams that none of us considered. Maybe that is playing with Arsenal maybe that is playing in CL again and maybe it is as simple as wanting to give FAWSL another go. I don't know about everyone but the pandemic really changed my views on how I viewed my future so it could be the case for her as well especially after an almost career ending injury.

Thirdly, for those focused on the couple I think they can both realize their dreams in the next couple of years whatever those dreams might be and that is good they have a whole lifetime together after that.

Lastly, I will repeat we don't know what Tobin really wants. Does she really want San Diego or Europe? It is impossible to say so no need to get frustrated about the developments maybe they are working out just as she wanted.

So, you’re leaving. It must’ve been a hard decision.

Honestly…it wasn’t.
