ID and more info under cut

[ID: the anakin and padme meme. anakin says “we need to protect female athletes”. padme, smiling, says “From widespread abusive coaching that uses encouraged or enforced starvation to delay puberty so athletes can peak in their teens and when their bodies are permanently broken by the age of 18 it doesn't even matter because the coaches have a new 13-year-old to abuse, right?” anakin doesn’t answer. “right?” padme asks again, no longer smiling. end ID]

A Gust of Wind Vol.3, 8.4.23 “Road Trip"

Cross country lullaby Sleeper states Hold my hand Like a dream– When I wake up We’ll be in a new place Street sing me to sleep Trees flicker by Cows and towns and any frowns I could cross these miles Too many times to count Even if I’ll carry on without You– or songs – or stories Battery powered heart Keeps beating, repeating Meeting you in a dream One I had Cross country and state lines In my mind New place Makes its way Towards tomorrow morning This is a dream I wouldn’t mind Waking up from Heavy eyelids, heart, and story Write it down Dream diary Sleep soaked lines Window blinds that block the moon But not ever the light

My estranged dad appeared from nowhere in an M5 and we went on a cross-country road trip until he drove into the fucking Pacific ocean.

3: Shuebert the Lost Shoe

Just so people know I’m 100% serious on making a secret boss for EVERY AREA IN HOMETOWN, Here’s Shuebert! The secret boss to the track that’s alluded to existing due to the existence of a cross country team. After losing their other half, they endlessly roam the track looking for them, causing many an urban legend about them to be made.

The idea was that he’s a shoe that was left on the track for years and urban legends arose about it saying how it was “cursed” like the cheese touch from diary of a wimpy kid lol. Honestly, considering every other one of these I have planned and designed. They’re HANDS DOWN my favorite, and I literally just started posting these!

Sockswald by @the-winterer , I promise I’ll get the next character for the chapter out eventually.

Sprite.

I’m gonna stop saying what one of these is coming next cuz it always changes lol.
