daniel ricciardo i agree. none of you are normal.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
oscar piastri i thought the worst thing about this weekend was going to be my dnf. but jesus christ, how could i be so wrong??
sabrina carpenter permission to attack?
daphne jones permission denied sabrina carpenter but mom!
max verstappen well oscar’s a fucking psychic
daniel ricciardo do you want to talk about it buddy?
charles leclerc if i fucking talk about it i think i’ll cry. so no, i don't.
oscar piastri reputation era incoming?
daphne jones not the time osc
charles leclerc it’s fucking bullshit
sabrina carpenter if i had a nickel for every time carlos inherited a position after a disqualification i’d have two nickels.
sabrina carpenter no i swear to fucking god if i see one spanish media headline bashing on charles i will be attacking, permission or no permission. sabrina carpenter why is this guy treated like the second coming of jesus christ in spanish media when fernando alonso is right there? the 2x world champion, the 106 podium placer. sabrina carpenter sainz has 18, compared to fernando it's fucking nothing
max verstappen i thought you knew that it's rumored that carlos’ family has an in with the spanish media? that’s why they love him so much.
sabrina carpenter i’m biting fucking ankles. i hope charles manages to overtake him in the driver standings just shut them up.
charles leclerc at this point it'll take a fucking miracle. lando overtook me in the standings. lando, who had a horrible fucking start to his season and was barely managing to get into the points. says a lot about my season and myself as a driver doesn't it.
daphne jones were you not the vice champion last year? you're a great driver charles, you've just had a horrible season. you've made some mistakes but the majority has been ferrari's fault. if they could just get their shit together you'd have a better season.
charles leclerc thanks, i really needed to hear that.
daniel ricciardo besides, hasn't max constantly said that he enjoys fighting on track with you? i think you're one of the few who he likes fighting with on track. last year was great for you two, maybe we'll get a repeat of it next year.
oscar piastri you're 26 charles, you've got plenty of time to get a wdc, one shitty season isn't going to change that.
sabrina carpenter i will be manifesting a podium for you in mexico to make up for this shitty weekend
charles leclerc thank you sabrina

I PROMISE I LIKE HIM!!

tagging: @levisbrat25 @hauntedhousecat @sckerman @levi-supreme @nelapanela94 @ack3rlady @m-jelly @yakaaamoz @whattheheckmidoriya @chaotic-nick @happybird16
If this isn't your thing no worries! Anyone who wants to do this go for it! My answers below the cut :)
Who are you self shipping?
Levi
1 Are you working out together this morning?
Ugh, maybe? Just a little, probably not. Might do some living room stretches. Easy yoga and meditation.
2 Breakfast in bed? Who makes it/what is made?
I want to make it but he won't let me. I get muesli with lots of berries, and wheat toast with peanut butter. He joins me with his own and brings the tea.
3 They're in a hurry and you're off, how do you help them get ready?
I'll pick out some clothes for him while he's showering, start his tea and pack a lunch for him. Tell him not to worry about the clean up or anything and get him out on time. He promises to make dinner later.
4 You leave a note in their lunchbox, what does it say?
Something about how much he means to me. Maybe like, "life with you is all I've ever wanted. Thank you for every day together." morning aura note??
5 You fell asleep last night and are finishing the tv show/movie in bed. What are you watching?
A drama series like Timeless or Manifest. We have to stop so I can ask questions sometimes. I missed half the episode last night so we're starting it over.
6 Lazy morning! Who finally gets up first and why?
Usually it's him so chores can get done. Today, I will. I want Levi to take it easy for once. After hitting the bathroom (the real reason I had to get up) I'll start things like wash and make a grocery list, asking for Levis input. He'll get up soon to shower and help continue chores.
7 Who takes the longest in the bathroom? Does the other person care?
Oh it's me! I don't mean to though, I'm just slow in the mornings. If I'm in the shower Levi will come right in and do what he needs to, sometimes join me in the shower to conserve water, at least that's what he says. I should just let him go first, but neither of us mind sharing the bathroom.
8 You get on the computer together to look up videos. What are you watching?
DIY videos for tips and ideas for the house. Looking to change some things around but would like to do it ourselves. And am up for things we've never thought about, like turning our old headboard into a coat rack and organizer. We also like funny cat videos.
9 What type of puzzle do you sit around and complete together? (crossword, jigsaw, sudoku, etc)
We're doing the weekend crossword. I'm great at entertainment and some random things, Levi is very smart and gets most things and we plug in anything else!
10 Back to movies/tv, you're having a marathon! Pick a series!
We're doing an I Love Lucy marathon! I laugh so hard and he chuckles pretty good most of the time, especially the banter between Fred and Ethel.
11 You have to go outside! What chore do you do together?
We're line drying clothes and pulling up weeds from the garden! He never complains about helping with laundry and we tend to line dry when we can to save energy and for freshness. And we both like keeping the garden nice so our produce stays healthy! We'll be picking some soon!
12 It's your day off together and your phone is ringing. Who is it, what do they want, and how do you respond?
Erwin calls me because he needs something for work from Levi who has shut his phone off. Levi takes the phone and gives 2 minutes to the situation then says it's his weekend and he'll see him tomorrow.
13 You're up first and dancing around the kitchen. What do they do when they wake up and see?
Levi is smiling from the side and let's me do my thing, scaring me after he asks if he should come back later after a few minutes. Leaves me giggling with lots of kisses, telling me how adorable I am.
14 You're daydreaming together about your next vacation. Tell us about it!
I'm actually going to pick Alaska cruise tour. We like the cooler weather. 7 days on land, 7 on sea, everything planned for us basically. We'll stay in Denali the longest to make sure to get all the touristy stuff in and hike a bit. Pick the one with the comfortable train ride to the boat and upgrade to first class. Decide to get a balcony so we can see the ocean away from others and spot a few whales. Levi probably takes lots of pictures of me and I force him into a few. Do the fancy sit down dinner most nights but I talk him into the buffet and he says he'll watch to make sure people are being clean. Take daily afternoon naps and go the the shows later. Go kayaking in peaceful Sitka and meet the sled dogs in Juneau. Levi is excited for all the hot tea we'll be offered. We're going to need a vacation AFTER our vacation!
15 Reading in bed together! Do you have a newspaper, book, magazine...? Do they have the same?
A book or magazine for me. I interrupt his book reading with a 'rate your mate' quiz from the magazine and we end up laughing at the questions and answers.
-----------------
-----------------
Who are you self shipping?
Jean
1 Are you working out together this morning?
Probably going for a mile run. He wants to stretch beforehand and I know we should but I hate it! Makes the last bit a race and gives me a head start. I still can't beat him. One day!
2 Breakfast in bed? Who makes it/what is made?
Breakfast is this mans favorite (and mine!) so I get the best veggie omelet and a bowl of chopped fruit. He makes another omelet for himself and steals some of my fruit.
3 They're in a hurry and you're off, how do you help them get ready?
I make him a smoothie and get his lunch together. Also make sure his keys and wallet are in the same place so he can grab everything and go. He can never find his keys for some reason.
4 You leave a note in their lunchbox, what does it say?
Something positive about what a great job he's doing. Something like, "things aren't always easy, but I love watching you succeed."
5 You fell asleep last night and are finishing the tv show/movie in bed. What are you watching?
A cooking show like Master Chef. We love our cooking shows and neither of us could make it to the second commercial.
6 Lazy morning! Who finally gets up first and why?
It's him because he wants to make sure we get a little something to eat. Once he's up though he's up for the day and playfully makes the bed around me while I try to get him back in with me. But the smell of food gets me up.
7 Who takes the longest in the bathroom? Does the other person care?
It's both of us. I'm slow and he just has a lot to do, so we share the mirror and sometimes do skincare treatment together and if one of us is in the shower keep asking "are you almost done yet?" If the answer is no, one can expect company :)
8 You get on the computer together to look up videos. What are you watching?
Grocery hauls! We like eating healthy (most of the time) and like to get ideas and work around what we already have. Also, reaction videos to popular music videos.
9 What type of puzzle do you sit around and complete together? (crossword, jigsaw, sudoku, etc)
A 500 piece jigsaw puzzle it is! We might not get it all done in one go, but we get it done eventually. We try to make color piles and of course tackle the outside first.
10 Back to movies/tv, you're having a marathon! Pick a series!
We're having a Disney marathon and both love it! We pick non princess movies today like Robin Hood, Sword and the Stone, and 101 Dalmatians!
11 You have to go outside! What chore do you do together?
Not so much a chore, but our doggy has to go out so we walk him together. Since it's not a hot day once we get back we wash the windows and get into a water hose fight.
12 It's your day off together and your phone is ringing. Who is it, what do they want, and how do you respond?
Sasha is calling wanting to know if we want to hang out with the gang later. We tell her probably and we'll call in a bit and depending on the time, go back to bed a while and show up after spending most of the day by ourselves.
13 You're up first and dancing around the kitchen. What do they do when they wake up and see?
Oh this guy! I get whistled at and he claps and thanks me for the show, then comes join me after seeing me blush, and we slow dance for a few minutes before continuing the day.
14 You're daydreaming together about your next vacation. Tell us about it!
We're finally going to Europe! You know we're hitting Italy and if it's possible plan trains to other surrounding countries as well. We want to do all the touristy things but also try to find quiet places to stay that just feel more like we're there than a big name motel. We'll ask the locals the best places to find food and things to do that we might not think of. We're already talking about when we could actually do this.
15 Reading in bed together! Do you have a newspaper, book, magazine...? Do they have the same?
Books for both of us! He's got a true crime book and wants to tell me about it but I don't want nightmares! I have another book in my anthology series. We try to read for 20 minutes a day usually.

Hello, lovely Rid 💕💕 I'm so glad that the tattoo appointment went well! I have been wanting a tattoo for forever but I get bored of things very easily and I'm afraid that would happen with a tattoo that's permanently on my body too lmao. And as for the piercing I really hope that it doesn't get infected this time (the thought of infections is probably why I've never wanted one, but I love the way they look on other people!)
Glad to hear that you're doing well right now even with the inevitable bad days that come sometimes 🥺🥺🥺. I'm doing well too, have my first two exams of the season tomorrow, but they shouldn't be too hard. Won't be fully calm until I do my hardest exam though, and that's in a little over a week. But I'm not too much of a nervous person and I tend to take things as they come, so it's all good.
Hope you have a lovely weekend, Rid 💞💞
ivi 🤍 ahhh, you know, that's a super valid worry. the permanence of a tattoo is scary... i think it's why i went with something that i know i'll always love (stars, moon and sun, surprise 🤣), but i 100% get it (same with the fear of infections). and thank you, manifesting an easy healing process !! :D
i'm also very happy you're doing well !! once again, good luck for all your exams (ugh saturday exams suck) 🍀 also, that's a great mindset to have. it's easier to know that none of this can truly hurt you... but you'll still do so well 💕
wishing you a pleasant weekend and lots of rest once you've finished your exams, love 🤍

Flower Boy [ boxer!calum ]
flower boy series | pt.1 | word count: 5,659 | masterlist
Tumblr media
"Thank you so much! I'll have these to you as soon as possible. Goodbye!"
Talia grins, as she farewells the family whos portraits she had just finished shooting.
As much as she loves photography, there were only so many matching outfits and unhappy children a person could handle in a day, and with the family that had just left her studio, Talia had reached her limit.
Draining days were something she had gotten used to, business booming lately thanks to the kind words of a handful of past clients. With doors only opening just under a year ago, Valentine Studios didn't exactly have the longest history in town, but Talia liked to believe her dedication and skill made up for lack of experience.
Her mother hadn't really approved of the move, her ideals for her daughter being stuck a few decades in the past.
With the thought of her mother flashing through her mind, Talia couldn't help but sigh as she moved to pack up her camera for the night.
After the great disbandment of the Alisley family, it was nearly impossible for either of the Alisley children to communicate with their mother, but that didn't stop Yvonne from making her annual call to her kids, mostly about the percentage paid out to them every couple weeks from their father's estate royalties, which in Talia's case, was this morning.
From that point onward, it felt like the universe had decided to torment Talia today.
Starting off with the phone call, and most recently manifesting as a set of twins who refused to do any form of posing with their parents, Talia couldn't wait to go home and sleep so she could start the next day fresh and away from the negative vibes of the current day.
Once her backdrops had been rolled up,  and her camera was safely stored in its bag, Talia finally had time to let down her dark brown hair, the two bright streaks of red framing her face. She took great pleasure in turning all the lights off, and locking the door of the studio behind her.
Taking a second to relax in her car, Talia looks at her phone, scrolling through til she reaches the contact of her brother, Brandon.
The Alisley family were estranged from each other these days, but that didn't mean that Talia and Brandon had stopped being lifelong best friends.
The two had always been close, only a couple years between the siblings. Growing up in a world surrounded by adults until they themselves were well into their teens, they were practically a package deal until they had both moved into their own apartments a few years ago.
As of late, while Talia was diving head first into Valentine, Brandon was knee deep in The Vault, the gym he had started not long before Talia opened her own business.
Sitting in her car, Talia contemplated calling him for a moment, her finger hovering over the call button as she thought.
With both of them being so busy, they had barely had time to catch up over the last couple months, and after the day she had had today, Talia needed a bit of chill time with the only other person in the world who could understand her situation.
Their father always joked they could communicate telepathically, and after not seeing him for so long, Talia missed speaking her native tongue.
Deciding to make her way over to the gym, Brandon always telling her he was there any Friday night she would try to make plans with him lately, Talia constructed a plan for what she would do once she finally had convinced her brother to stop throwing himself into his work every Friday night.
With The Vault situated downtown, it was a bit of a drive in Los Angeles traffic, but with the thought of the Thai food just up the street from the gym in her mind, Talia couldn't find it in herself to care about the lengthy journey.
The radio softly played one of the many playlists made on Talia's phone as she drove along, windows down and the breeze lightly whipping her hair around as she did her best to relax while she had the chance.
While most people were finishing their work week, Talia, being the head photographer at Valentine, was still one day away from her own weekend, working every Saturday since the studio opened. This made it easier for families to get together for their shoots, not having to worry about getting back to work and getting the kids back to school, and Talia could tell her clients appreciated it, which made the extra day of work worth it to her.
Propping her head up, with her left elbow resting on the top of the door, Talia can't help the frown that flashes onto her face as she approaches the gym.
Expecting to see only Brandon's car and maybe another employee's, the full parking lot beside the building confuses her. How many people would be at a gym after hours?
The confused frown on Talia's face lingers as she parks her car next one she definitely recognised as Brandon's, climbing out and locking it before pocketing her keys and approaching a man who looked slightly familiar, noticing he was one of Brandon's employees as she got closer.
"Johnny," Talia smiles politely, the man turning to her with wide eyes as he recognizes her, "what's happening here?" She asks.
Johnny stutters for a moment, looking around like he rather be anywhere else in the world at this exact moment.
"Oh, here? Just some regulars here for a get together. Your brother left a few hours back though." He says quickly, tripping over his words slightly, almost like he was making a story up as he went along.
Suspicion courses through Talia at the deflective words of the man much taller than she is, and if she didn't already know him, she probably would have been intimidated by his size alone.
"I just parked next to his car though, and it's kinda odd for Brandon to leave the gym open." Talia laughs awkwardly, not trusting of the excuse she was being given when she knew her brother better than to leave not only his business open, but also his car unlocked outside it.
"I think I'll just check things out for myself thanks Johnny." Talia states, before taking a step forward towards the entrance.
Sensing her disbelief, and his face turning to one of panic, Johnny takes a step sideways, blocking the door from Talia's path.
"Brandon said that you were banned from Friday nights. I'm sorry Talia." He finally says, and Talia can't help the look of surprise that covers her face.
"Me? Banned from the Vault? I hardly think so mate." She laughs, taking advantage of the height difference between them to duck under Johnny's arm, easily pushing the door open into the gym.
Immediately, Talia is met with a wall of noise.
A crowd, some seated, some not, surround the central boxing ring at the center of the building. The usual smell of cleaning supplies and sweat is amplified by the stench of beer radiating through the whole building, but even then, the thing that grabs Talia's attention isn't the crowd or their behavior, but instead, what they're watching.
In the center of the ring, two large, well built men circle each other. Talia watches on in horror for only a moment before one man launches his fist forward towards the others stomach, and it's in this moment she realizes that the men aren't wearing gloves, but thin bloodied wraps.
The crowd roar with a wave of life as the punch connects, the second man doubling over and leaving himself exposed to an onslaught the first delivers without hesitation.
Even with the presence of Johnny behind her, the only thing Talia can see is the pure violence playing out in front of her, realization growing by the second as her eyes finally break away from the ring to where her brother stands at the back of the crowd.
She can't help but think her father might have been right about the telepathy, because almost as if he could sense her eyes on him, Brandon's own find her.
All of the colour drains from Brandon's face as he excuses himself from the black haired man he's talking to, running around the outside of the crowd to reach his sister, who stands frozen in place.
He says nothing as he grabs Talia's hand, pulling her sideways into the office room to the right of the building, easily tugging her past the back of the crowd that still stare focused into the ring.
The clinical white lights above them come to life as Brandon flicks the switch beside the door, shutting it behind him quickly before he turns back to Talia.
"What are you doing here?" He asks quickly, inspecting her as if she was a wounded animal ready to pounce.
Fighting her disbelief at the situation and his question, Talia's eyes go wide as a wave of anger washes over her at his question.
"What am I doing here? What the fuck is that shit, Brandon?!" She throws back at him, her voice louder and stronger than she expected it to come out of her.
Waving his hands panicked, trying to get her to lower her voice, Brandon tries to shush her, which only makes her more ticked off.
"Look you weren't supposed to see that-"
"Answer my fucking question or I'll start screamin' it." She threatens, cutting him off mid sentence.
An angry and frustrated expression settles on his face as Brandon let's out a huff, not knowing how to word his explanation and remaining silent while he tries to find the right words.
"Is this why you've been blowing me off for months? You got some fucking fight club bullshit going on here instead?" She questions further, her voice breaking slightly with stress.
"I can't tell you all the fucking details in one breath, Talia. I wasn't exactly expecting you to find out like this."
Brandon argues, throwing his hand up in annoyance, which only confuses her more.
"What makes you think you have the right to be angry at me when you're the one that has the explaining to do?"
"Fuck! Alright! I get it!" He whisper yells harshly, face twisting in anger and making the siblings look even more alike than usual, Talia taking a step back at his sudden outburst, "look, the money is gonna get cut off one day, I'm thinking about my future, OUR futures here. That's what this shit is about."
"And what exactly is this shit, Brandon?" Talia asks, aggressively pointing towards the door that barely separated them from the crowd.
"It's boxing. Same shit you see on TV, just, not as commercial."
"This isn't the same shit as on TV! Those guys aren't even wearing gloves!" She argues, smacking the back of her hand as she speaks.
"Bare knuckle and wraps get better bets, the guys make their own decisions on if they do it or not." Brandon defends as he crosses his arms.
Talia shakes her head in annoyance, her face twisting. Everything was happening so quickly, meaning she barely had enough time to process all the information being thrown at her.
"You're scared of mommy cutting off the royalties so this is what you do instead?" She asks.
"The money is gonna get cut off and it's gonna be sooner rather than later. Do you expect me to suck up forever? To hide Sam til she dies too? Mom hates both of us now and you know it just as well as I do."
Talia feels her throat tighten at his words. Her stomach felt like it was close to emptying its content as the gut punch of his words hit her at a hundred miles per hour.
"Shut the fuck up. You know I love Sam and you know I don't want to do it just as much as you don't want to. But you're right, it will be sooner if she finds out about this." She spits back.
Taking a step towards him, arms crossed, Talia holds steady eye contact as she looks up to her brother.
"You're not the only one she can fuck over. When she finds out and cuts me off too, what the fuck are we gonna do, huh?" She whispers harshly as the crowd outside the room bursts into life again, the next round starting.
Brandon breaks the eye contact between them as he stares at the ground, fists clenched at his sides as the obvious stress of the situation flashes across his face.
"She won't, not yet."
Talia rolls her eyes as her arms uncross, leaning back against his desk.
"Mom always finds out."
"She won't this ti-"
Brandon is interrupted by the office door swinging open, a tall man with blonde hair and a panicked look on his face ignoring Talia to address Brandon the second his eyes land on him.
"Hood's broken Knight's nose." He says in a rush, causing Brandon to groan, following the man out the door before turning back to Talia.
"Don't leave this office, I'll be back soon."
Talia throws her brother a sarcastic thumbs up before he rushes off, the door clicking shut behind him.
Talia felt like her mind was in the worst spin she'd ever experienced. Finally the late nights, the astronomical bills being excused as gym costs, the secrets, they all made sense.
As angry as she was with her brother, she was more worried about him than anything.
Seeing the crowd, the action in the ring, it was more than just the sparring she would see from time to time as she made the rounds to check in on things. These people were out for blood, and would throw as much money as they needed at it to make it happen. This wasn't the kind of thing she ever expected Brandon to be involved in, and it shocked her that he's involved in that world obviously as more than just a spectator.
Sitting down in the office chair, Talia rests her elbows on the desk in front of her, covering her face with her hands as she tries to take a deep breath to calm her nerves, but jumping as the crowd outside roars again.
This wasn't something she was familiar with, and the uncharted territory this laid out in front of her felt like a minefield. Both her brother's lies, and the violence they were hiding.
With her anxiety peaking as she sits deep in her thoughts, she nearly yelps as the office door flies open, a tall man coming in and looking around for someone, before their eyes finally land on Talia.
If the sharp jawline, dark eyes and deadly look on his face didn't take her breath away, the ripped and bruised skin under his eye sure did.
A seemingly permanent scowl was set on the man's face, and his height and all black outfit just added to the intimidating stance he has as he lets the door swing shut behind him.
Talia couldn't help but notice that the man is attractive, even with blood dripping down his face, noticing his hair closely cropped to his head, apart from the wild bleached curls that fell onto his forehead.
For a brief moment, the angry look on the man's face softens upon seeing the smaller woman sitting behind his boss's desk, but it's instantly replaced by a look of confusion.
"Who the fuck are you?" He asks, his voice deeper than she expected with an unfamiliar accent laced into his words.
Slightly taken back, Talia frowns, withdrawing from the desk and standing up behind it, her defensive nature quickly taking over.
"I'm Talia Alisley, who the fuck are you?"
This time it's the man that's taken back, his eyebrows shooting up as he scoffs, arrogance in spades and tension building by the second as Talia crosses her arms in front of herself.
"I'm Calum Hood," He says, and Talia freezes.
Hood. Was he the Hood that the blonde man was talking about? The one who apparently had broken the nose of the guy Brandon was checking on?
"and I'm guessing you're the precious little sister." He comments, and this time it's Talia that raises her eyebrow. Did Brandon mention her to these guys?
"Too right I am, so don't fuck with me and we should be fine. Brandon said he'd be back soon." She replies, sitting back down with her arms still crossed and the scowl on her face settling in while in his presence.
Deep down, Talia knew it was probably a bad idea to piss off the guy who was not only bleeding, but the cause of a broke nose two rooms over, but her pride and defensive nature was far more powerful than the anxiety swirling in her stomach.
"No need to worry about that, princess." Calum rolls his eyes in annoyance. If Brandon was gonna send him to his office, he could at least show up instead of wasting his time, and give him a warning.
Talia was thankful in that moment for the low light of the room on account of the desk lamp being off, hiding the blush that made her ears burn. Yeah, he might be a dickhead, but he was still an attractive dickhead.
Slumping down into the chair opposite Talia with a huff, Calum shakes his head, while Talia stays stone faced across from him.
"You alright?" She asks after a moment, referring to where blood still sits on his cheekbone.
Calum frowns at her attitude change, not aware of the injury that he sustained from Knight's ringed hand landing a right hook before Calum landed his own.
In his defense, Knight should have known better than to touch his gear.
With the confused look flashing across his face for a longer period this time, Talia can't help but roll her eyes.
"You're bleeding under your eye, bro." She points out.
As Calum reaches up to touch his cheek, the door opens, the blonde man from before walking in with Brandon in toe as Talia thanks her lucky stars.
"Not gonna lie I thought you would have left by now." Brandon says, looking at Talia first while her eyes stay on the actions of the blonde man opening a medical kit on the desk.
"Oh don't worry, I want to." She comments.
"So do I, can I go now?" Calum directs towards Brandon as the blonde man touches an alcohol wipe to his cheek, making his aggressive expression falter slightly.
"Once Luke says you're okay and once I've dealt with you, yes." He sighs, rubbing a hand over his face.
"Look," Talia says, standing up and holding her hands up in surrender, "obviously you've got a lot of shit going on here right now so we'll deal with this tomorrow." She gestures between them, walking around the desk and past the three men.
Letting out a sigh, Brandon sends her a look of appreciation.
"Thanks T, text me when you get home." He replies, to which she sends him a short nod.
"Luke, can you walk her out?" He asks, turning to the man getting up from kneeling in front of Calum.
"Yeah, no worries." He smiles, taking his gloves off and throwing them in the bin.
Walking out the door with Luke, Talia winces at the loudness of the crowd, thankful for the taller, now calm, man standing between them and herself.
"I'm Luke, by the way." He smiles kindly, holding his hand out for Talia to shake as they make it to the door.
"Talia. Gotta be honest, I wish this was under better circumstances." She smiles tightly back at him, shaking his hand.
"Yeah," he laughs, "me too."
As they make it outside, Talia leads Luke around the building to where her car sits, right next to Brandon's.
"Well, this is me."  She says, signalling to her car with the keys in her hand. "Thanks for walking me past all of that."
"No problem. Drive safe." Luke says with a small wave to her, and she gives him an appreciative smile.
"You too. See you 'round, Luke."
Climbing into her car, Talia sighs, relaxing only slightly in the familiar surroundings.
As she pulls away from the curb, Luke sends her a final wave before walking back into the gym.
Driving away, the adrenaline of the situation starts to wear off, and the reality of the situation starts to sink in.
"God, I'm gonna fucking kill him." Talia mutters to herself, turning the radio up and going over the night's events in her head as she drives back to her apartment.
The next morning, Talia awakes with a rock of dread weighing down her stomach.
Her mind immediately flashes back to the events of the night before, and as she showers, gets dressed and locks her apartment door, it almost felt like she wore the dread of the impending conversation she needed to have with her brother as a scarf tied too tightly around her neck.
Instead of heading straight to the studio and editing the photos of the last few days as usual, Talia instead took a deep breath as she started heading back towards Vault, having a couple hours to hopefully get answers before her first clients for the day were set to arrive at eleven.
The parking lot beside Vault sat a lot emptier today. Only a handful of cars sprinkled around, and just like last night, Talia pulls into the space beside Brandon's car.
Taking a moment before walking in, Talia leans back in her seat, closing her eyes.
She was scared. Of Brandon's explanation, of possibly having to accept whatever the fuck she had witnessed last night, of walking out more confused than she was about to walk in.
Her and Brandon had grown up play fighting, and catching an odd round or two when their dad decided to watch Friday Fight Night, but violence had never really been part of their lives in a physical form. Apart from a questionable wrestling phase when she was 14, Talia couldn't even remember the last time she saw two people in a ring together that wasn't casual sparring when she would frequent the gym in its early days.
None of it compared to what she saw last night.
With what happened still fresh in her mind, Talia climbs out of her car, pushing the door shut behind her.
Johnny doesn't stand by the entrance this morning, meaning Talia easily walks into the gym, the door squeaking slightly in protest as she pushes it open.
It's almost like nothing had even happened. All the equipment that was pushed against a wall last night now sits in its normal place, the shelves of alcohol behind the check in desk now stocked with protein powders like less than twelve hours ago the counter wasn't a very convincing bar.
Hearing her come in the door, a couple people look up from what they're doing, sending Talia a polite smile before returning to their work.
Calum Hood is not one of these people.
Almost like the universe had put a glowing neon sign over his head, Talia's eyes instantly wander towards where Calum stands next to the black haired man she recognized as the same person Brandon was talking to last night when she arrived.
Noticing her too, Calum’s encouragement of his best friend is interrupted by his eyes catching a flash of blue hair in his peripheral vision.
While he knew any animosity towards the woman who could probably have him fired with a few fake tears was a bad idea to hold onto, he couldn't help but feel annoyed upon seeing her in what he thought of as his domain.
Face settling into a frown as she looks across the room to the man who easily got on her nerves last night, Talia almost doesn't notice Brandon coming up behind her.
"Hey." He greets quietly, holding a takeaway cup of coffee out to his sister. "Time for that talk, huh?"
"Yeah. Think so." She takes the coffee with a nod of thanks, and hesitantly follows him to his office.
Talia couldn't tell if Brandon was trying to suck up to her with free coffee, but after sitting down at the chair in front of his desk and taking a sip, tasting vanilla latte, she knows he is.
"So, where should we start?" He asks, settling into his seat with a heavy sigh.
Talia scoffs lightly, raising her eyebrow.
"The beginning would be good."
Brandon nods, looking down at his desk to avoid meeting her eyes.
"The fights started around one, maybe two months after we opened, so we've been hosting them for about fourteen months now."
Talia's eyes go wide, disbelief covering her face as she places her cup on his desk forcefully.
"You're telling me you've been hiding this shit for over a year?" She asks, anger already starting to build.
"Yeah, and if you haven't fucking noticed, it's not been the easiest thing to do." He snaps, before holding his hands up, taking a deep breath and rolling his seat back slightly to calm himself, too much tension already in the air.
Talia bites her tongue, looking down at her hands before she signals to him to continue.
"A friend of mine, Ashton, he was part of an illegal boxing league running out of a rundown place up in Hollywood. I saw him fight there a couple times, saw the conditions myself. The guy running the show was a complete asshole to his guys, but they all needed the money, so they stuck around." He explains, voice quieter than before.
"One night we got to talking. I asked Ash if  he thought we might be able to make our own ring, give people a safer place to earn their money. Then we figured out how much we could earn from it, and with shit going so wrong with mom, I figured that if she pulled the rug out from under me, I could use the league as a safety net."
Piecing together the timeline in her head, and doing the best to absorb the information given to her, Talia remains silent and slowly nods along when needed.
"Him and I have built this thing from the ground up, and it's working for us. I manage the books, he manages the guys, and we take care of the admin together. With my connections to the rich assholes who have more money than they know what to do with, and with Ashton's connection to the guys who need that money and want to do it, we're doing really, really well, Talia."
This time it's Talia who avoids eye contact, looking down to her shoes as she curses the logical side of her brain for seeing sense in his story.
"How many people do you have fighting for you?" She asks.
Brandon let's out a heavy breath, waving his hand slightly.
"Around twenty, twenty five. We keep the doors open for the more occasional guy who needs the cash that week."
"And how often are the nights like last night happening?"
"Weekly. Every Friday, normally."
Seeing the hesitation on her face, bottom lip pulled between her teeth, Brandon sits forward to bring her attention to him, her eyes flicking up to meet his.
"I know this is a lot, and I don't expect you to be okay with it, but I do want you to know I'm being smart about this."
Talia sighs, taking a sip of her drink before speaking.
"I know you, so I don't doubt it. It's just so dangerous, Brandon. You can't expect me not to be worried about you."
Brandon laughs lightly, trying to lift the mood slightly.
"I would never expect you not to worry. It's not in your nature."
A small smile tugs at the corners of Talia's lips, and it's enough to ease his mind.
"Anything you want to know about the ring, the business, any of it, I'll answer as best as I can. I trust you more than anyone and I want to do everything I can to make you feel okay with this, and make up for holding it from you."
Talia hazards a look to her brother, seeing on his face that he's been open and honest with her.
"You know I always ask too many questions." She smiles, joking lightly as she referenced something she would hear almost daily from her mother growing up.
Brandon shakes his head as he laughs, taking a sip of his own drink.
"If you get too much for me, I'll just pass you on to Ashton. It's what normally happens around here." He shrugs slightly, before tilting his head.
"Actually, do you want to meet him? He should be around out there." He asks, and Talia mulls the idea over for a moment before agreeing. After all, it would probably be best to know who she would castrate if something happened to Brandon.
"Sure, might as well." She agrees, downing the last of her drink and tossing her cup into the small recycling bin under his desk.
Standing up and following Brandon out of his office, Talia can feel her nerves already starting to act up, and does her best to shove them down as she follows him towards the bench press where the black haired man who she now assumed was Ashton, and Calum stood.
"Hey, guys. I got someone for you to meet." Brandon says, catching their attention as they approach.
Ashton sends her a warm smile as she steps out from behind Brandon, which is a nice contrast from the cold glare Calum sends her way, which she ignores to return the smile instead.
"Ashton, Calum, this is my sister, Talia. Talia, this is the demon on my shoulder Ash, and my blue rock em sock em man Calum."
"We've met." Calum says bluntly, while Ashton raises his eyebrow.
"And we haven't. Nice to meet you, I assure you Brandon's told us nothing but good things." Ashton grins, holding his hand out for her to shake.
Talia takes his hand and can't help but notice how strong his grip is without what looks like any effort, and laughs lightly.
"I'd hope so, but I can't promise my staff have heard the same about him. It's nice to meet you too." She returns, letting her hand drop to her side before she acknowledges the man beside him.
"And yeah, charmed." Talia prods lightly, seeing Calum trying to hide the roll of his eyes from Brandon.
"Talia is gonna be spending more time around, getting to know the workings when she can. I said if she annoys me too much I'm gonna pass her on to you, so fair warning." Brandon informs them, tapping Ashton's arm as he directs his sentence to him.
"Fantastic." Talia hears Calum mutter, not loud enough for the other two to hear it, but just enough that she does.
This time, it's Talia that rolls her eyes at Calum.
As conversation is made, Calum can't help but feel hyper aware of Talia, and the sun shining in from the high windows casting sunbeams through the few red hairs that fell out of her bun and framed her face delicately. He would admit that Talia was pretty, beautiful even, but not audibly, especially not in front of the girl who felt no hesitation in sending him a death glare every few minutes.
The small group spend ten or so minutes talking with each other before Talia's phone rings, letting her know she should start making her way to the studio.
"Looks like I should be getting to work." Talia says, slipping her phone back into her pocket.
"What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?" Ashton inquiries, genuine interest in his tone, making her see why Brandon was such a fan of him.
Talia believed she could read people well, and from her first impression of Ashton, she got nothing but good vibes.
"I'm a photographer, I own my own studio called Valentine." She smiles proudly, and Ashton nods his head in approval.
"My girlfriend works just down the road from you I think! It's not far from Dominion Books, right?"
Pleasant surprise spreads across Talia's face as she nods, happy to have found a common link.
"Yeah! I think I might have seen you there in passing now I think about it." She smiles.
Brandon watches on with joy as he sees both Talia and Ashton getting along, so happy about it in fact that he didn't even notice Calum looking like he would rather be anywhere else in the world.
Talia says her goodbyes to the men before turning to leave, her attention being called back before she makes it too far.
"If you ever need a fill in hunk for a photo shoot, you know who to call." Ashton jokes, sending a wink in her direction.
"Yeah, you can get your brother to pass you my number any time." Calum says sarcastically, surprising her but also making her scoff as she takes a few steps backwards before turning around.
"In your dreams, darlin'." She calls over her shoulder.
As the door swings shut behind her, Calum feels like his feet are glued to the floor, the eyes of his best friend burning into him as Brandon excuses himself to mock throw up against the wall.
"What's that all about between you two?" Ashton asks Calum quietly, picking up his water bottle as Calum picks up his own, holding it up and speaking casually before taking a sip.
"No idea what you're talking about mate."

phoebe anon: YES YES i LOOOVE lorde!! Melodrama is my fav album to ever exist!!!!!! and yes i’ve heard that version of don’t take the money it’s fantastic and it’s phoebe vibes i agree. them two and Taylor swift are my main gyals they have a death grip on my music taste :D
idk if you knew this but if you listen really closely on the bridge of the studio version of Dont Take the Money, the female voice you hear is lorde’s!! Its funny you mention her now because im actually getting to drive up to see her live on her tour next weekend and i’m so so pumped!! ive had these tickets for like a year now i’m very ready Ella please 🕺🏻🕺🏻 what a fun time this next week is gonna be, an asis update and possibly hearing Liability, the best song i’ve ever heard, live!?!? i cant ask for more‼️‼️‼️
SORRY this ask is just a giant mess of several thoughts i wanted to share. thank you for the well wishes, i hope you have a great weekend + week too!! <3
Ahhh I did know that about the bridge!! I know it's lame to like pop music now but Taylor Swift + Jack Antonoff + Lorde all SLAP. My favorite Lorde album is her debut but there are some songs off Melodrama that make me feral (also I'm obsessed with the album cover). Also okay if you like the three of them I have to know: what's your favorite Jack Antonoff/TS collab?
I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO SEE LORDE! I've never been to a concert. I was actually supposed to go to loverfest but... obviously that was cancelled and TS has released four albums since Lover so it's safe to say loverfest is never going to happen lol. But Lorde is SUCH a performer and I just know you're going to have a great time! I'm manifesting Liability for you yes I am
Also unpopular opinion bc people don't like things they like to be re interpreted but I think Lorde's version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World reigns supreme 🕺🏻Sorry bout it but I'm right! Fits the vibe of the lyrics much better
EDIT: I’m releasing my formal apology for the amount of times i used the word ‘also’ in this ask. Clearly asis takes up all of my ability to create a cohesive piece of writing jfc

Hi! I was wondering if you could do a prompt about a gender neutral reader who's terribly shy and awkward meeting Dan at a convention, but they somehow hit it off and stuff? I'm sorry if this is a weird and bland request D:
A/N: Not weird or bland at all, lovely ! Thank you for sending this in. All of us have wanted to meet Dan at one point or another, that’s definitely a good common ground to ask for a fill on, and conventions are definitely a easy place to do so, I imagine. I know I’d definitely get awkward around him if I ever met him. ♡ I hope you enjoy it; heart you !
ON THE FLOOR
Despite the singular, indistinguishable, immense crowd that was the convention floor, you couldn’t help but feel an odd sense of calm. Next to your friend, you felt in your own little bubble, just you and them, meandering along, stopping occasionally to look at vendors. It was only Friday - the first official day of the convention - but so much had all ready happened. You got to go to a panel, got to ask a question, and even spotted a few things you were definitely going to come back for when you pulled money out of the bank.As the two of you walked around, groups of people would separate you two, but only for a moment or two before you found each other again. You would always come back to your friend, you were each other’s little life preserver ring in the sea of bodies; even a look over a shoulder and a reassuring smile was enough for you.
As the crowd around you two thinned out, you felt a particular loneliness at your side, and stopped in your tracks. Looking around, you couldn’t see your friend anywhere, but you did see a familiar face.It was completely unintentional, your heart picking up speed like it did. It just sometimes did that, when you saw his face, but seeing it in real time… It was like you were running a marathon. Chestnut curls catching the florescent lights and giving off a whitish halo, smile rivaling the sun streaming through the overhead windows, you couldn’t believe than Dan would be out on the convention floor, all by himself, casually talking to a small group of people and looking entirely normal. And he was so close.“Hey, there you are! I thought I’d lost you for good.” Even your friend’s voice couldn’t break your stare; you did reply, simple and short, “Hey.” They looked over too, eyebrows furrowed and confused expression smeared across their face. “What’re you looking at?” A pause. “The dude?” A little nod from you. “What about him?” Finally breaking your gaze, you looked over at them. “That’s Dan. That’s -” They cut you off, smile growing. “Dan from Game Grumps? The one you always gush about? The one you have Instagram notifications on for?” Your face broke into a grin, a loud shhhhh! quieting them, save for the laugh making them bounce just a bit. If he found out about that… Looking over at him again, the two of you admired him from afar. The way he moved, though lanky and a little confined, was inviting, lots of movements with open hands and arms. At one point, he even hugged one of the people he’d been talking to.“Why don’t you go say hi? He doesn’t look too busy.” The smile shot off your face, quick as a bullet. “No! Oh my god, no. I couldn’t…” He was busier than you, and you didn’t want to bother him, especially when it was only Friday. If he met you, you couldn’t help but worry you might mess up, say something wrong or do something that would ruin his weekend, and-
“He’s saw us.”What?Immediately turning your head, you couldn’t help but look at your friend, who mimicked your motions, but was smiling wide. “He totally saw us staring.” Oh no. Oh no, no no. Were you really not paying that much attention, too lost in the idea of him to catch yourself? “Well now we gotta say hi.” A hand found your wrist. “C’mon. Let’s not disappoint.” The thoughts had manifested into words, gentle no no nos, but the smile was there, the shaky, nervous laughter was bubbling, your stomach was doing backflips. Oh no, oh god, oh no, there’s no way this is going to end but badly…Approaching, your friend let go of you by sort of gently swinging you forward, leaving you to fend for yourself. There were only two other people with Dan, people you didn’t recognize, one a fan (the t-shirt was an obvious indication) and another, a girl, taller than you thanks to her cosplay shoes and just as bright-eyed as the other. He was standing in front of them, eyes going back and forth, in a casual conversation. No lull prompted him to look at you and smile, almost excited at the idea of someone else to to talk to, and greet you with a loud and welcoming, “Hey there!” Though the two others looked at you as well, all you could see suddenly was him, the noises around you a gentle lull in your ears.Speak. “Hey!” The minute crack in your cadence made your cheeks flare red, and he laughed. Breathe. Clear your throat. Speak. “Hey. I uh - I saw you from the… I…” Suddenly you realized you had nothing planned, no words, no declarations of adoration. You were drowning. “I saw you too,” he replied, laughing just a bit. “How’re you doing?” Was it really going to be that easy, talking to him? You could all ready feel the smile creasing your lips. “Great, now!” You laughed too. “It’s been really good.” He nodded. “That’s good. You from around here?” Shaking your head, you responded easily, “Nope. Southern California, born and raised.” He brightened. “Yeah? That’s awesome. That’s where I live too.” The smile grew. “Yeah, I uh - I know.” A combined chuckle. It sounded even better in person.
In retrospect, treading water with aching lungs was better than swallowing water. You hadn’t thrown up, hadn’t peed yourself, and hadn’t said anything too emotional or creepy to set him off. However, out of your mouth did come the words, “Can I take a photo with you?” Scooting closer, Dan replied simply, “Of course, lovely.” That sent a warm thrum through your body. That nickname was saved for the fans, typically the female ones, but hearing it said to someone like you, who didn’t fall under any sort of gender, made you feel incredibly special.Pulling out your phone, you swiped the icon to open up the camera, got into position - him crouching just a bit and setting his hands on your shoulders - and hit the button. You got a few, all of them with the two of you smiling wide, cheeks almost brushing, his hair wild and yours falling into place.When you both pulled away, the instinct kicked in, and you went in for a hug. Taking it in stride, he fell into place, wrapping his arms around you, bringing you close to him, your head falling to his shoulder. He held you for a long moment - or you held him, but who was asking for specifics? - before you pulled away. “Love you, Dan.”Whoops. That wasn’t supposed to happen.There it was, the one thing to ruin his weekend, the creepy fan interaction he’d go home and tell all his cool, famous friends about.“Love you too.”Looking up at him, the smile he’d worn throughout your entire interaction was still in place, darling and gentle in all the right ways. You two meant it in different ways, but that was okay. You knew that despite that, he meant it too.

Xav: i want to do all these things
Xav: but this little thing in my head just makes me this walking zombie

Chinye: because i have exactly the same problem
Chinye: no motivation to do anything
Chinye: too lazy to fix my problems
Xav: i can feel my energy leak out

Chinye: I wish there was a magic fix
Chinye: :(
Xav: and im too lazy to stop talking and think about your feelings

Chinye: I thought other people just had motivation to do things
Chinye: and that things were just harder for me
Xav: which then sends an impulse to wiring then goes through all of these devices
Xav: to someone else
Chinye: Do i make you feel bad?
Chinye: with anything i say?
Chinye: I can stop dumping emotional stuff on you
Xav: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mWotngJBcc
