Rash, is that us? We actually play for man united. - SO PURE JESSE.
I AM SO PROUD OF BARCA ❤💙❤💙
As someone that hasn't watched a game since 2017 when we were like at our prime- this tonight reminded me of them. The few games I did watch in those years we were struggling and I heard all kind of insults and hurls thrown at Barca. To see them coming back makes me happy.
People: stick with your clubs it is worth it. 🥰
I love this club.
I love Xavi as our coach.
I love the youngsters and I am thankful for our seniors.
I WANT TO SCREAM AND CRY
ronald araújo celebrates his goal against granada
I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I've been watching football since I was a little girl and back then all the footballer players were grown men to me and like the age of my dad.
Seeing incredible players my age, or slightly older/younger than me is so weird because I still feel like a kid not a 20-year old but I am excited about the future of football.
Also Jude has my heart and now I have to keep up with BVB too. 🍯
Jesse speaking about him & his mum overcoming their depression.
“ the person off the pitch carries onto the pitch and you become that person on the pitch. when i was down and low it felt like i weren’t even playing games, i was just there and the game was passing me by and it was an awful feeling. ”
Cinematic parallels
Neymar has been my favourite player since the moment I saw him on the pitch years ago. I cried so hard when he left Barcelona.
This video hurts me both as a fan of his and someone in the mental health field (I am studying psychology).
I love and stand for everything @holdmyhopeinyourhands has written on here.
I hope he is dealing with this in a healthy manner, and I hope internet bullies and real life bullies realize their words hurt and they meaning.
Do better.
Be better.
I've rewatched this video so many times. So so many times and it breaks my heart each and every single time. The abuse, the bullying, the witch-hunt, it all reflects starkly in his eyes and it's sickening. To see someone who used to be so full of life laughing dejectedly (his voice breaking) as he says how tired he is and how he no longer has the mental strength to deal with the sport he loves anymore is just so freaking awful I don't even know how to put it into words.
Could you image being cut down, humiliated, slandered and verbally abused so much so that you can't even do what you love anymore?
People forgot a long time ago that Neymar was human. Hypocrites who preach about mental health and awareness forgot a long time ago that their attacks were landing and their words wounding.
I'm furious. I'm angry. I'm disappointed and so very worried about him. But more than anything I'm just sad. No one deserves this. No one deserves the amount of abuse he's dealt with. For years. For so many years and I always admired him for that strength. The resilience to carry on despite of it. The ability to pick himself back up no matter how much the media and the football community tried to kick him down.... but I guess eventually a time comes when even the must resilient breaks down. And this is the aftermath of that. This is the result of years of torment.
And I want everyone that played a part in it to know. Every single person that preached about mental health in one breath and abused the hell out of Neymar in their next, this is your doing. This is on you, remember that.
And I hope he seeks help and doesn't let this fester. Actually, I hope he's already going through therapy and dealing with all this in a healthy manner. I hope that his family, his friends and his teammates are there for him because he'll need them. And finally, I hope he does what's best for him. I loved and still love watching him play. It's beautiful and captivating and brilliant and I have loved every second of it. But if he has to hang up the boots even with psg for his own mental wellbeing than I wish him well and give him my thanks.
Thank you for making me fall in love with football again Ney and please take care of yourself. All the love in the world from your fans to you.
Neymar's sweater is the prettiest blue
Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the locker room after PSG-St Étienne
Leo excited cause he never did it before
Captain Marqui really told the Lionel Messi (of all people) to go lay on the ground for the free-kick and Messi immediately ran up there like "yeah, ok. I can do that." XD
You know he gets along with kids that well bc he is still 80% child😅😅❤❤
If they don’t get confused and fight each other during training or a match, then what’s the point of having them in the same team

Neymar reading a little French!!!
This makes me so soft. Look at Marco, he’s so supportive. Like the rest of them are too of course, but while they occasionally seem to giggle at his mistakes, Marco never does (he actively tries not to laugh). He’s just quietly encouraging and proud of him and that’s why I love our angry little owl so much. He has the softest heart.
But the rest of them are all so proud of him and happy for him too and I love them for it.
The fact we won the 1st game in 2022 just makes me all giddy

Responses to Josh Cavallo from the football community ❤
Whenever people come with "they're from a different era" defending old racists and homophobes and transphobes, I always point to Betty as an example of someone choosing to grow with the world around them. Betty was on the right side of most of the history and change she lived through. There are no excuses. As long as you are alive, you have a responsibility to society to learn and be better. You don't get to decide when you've had enough because ideas that are new to you make you uncomfortable.
And no I'm not saying Betty was a Saint. She was 99. I'm 1000% sure she's said or done something problematic- we ALL have and will and in 2022, I hope the internet gets that. But the gift of age is that Betty was able to grow and be better and show what she's learned.
Thank you for being a friend.

Nekada i četvrtkom kada ti otkaže psihijatar.
Budi normalan.
Petak je dan kada ti tvoja jednostavna žena kuva boraniju.
Odustao si od sna da gajiš pčele.
I od toga da se često smeješ.
Ideš u teretanu, jer tako treba.
Voziš se u koloni.
Nikada ne pretičeš.
Nešto ne umeš više da voliš.

Izuj se.
Hodaj bos.
Tada smeš da hodaš i po travi.
Kupaj se dok sviće.
Pričaj o stvarima koje voliš.
Nikada ne obrći palačinke nožem ili rukom, samo bacanjem u vazduh.
Odlepićeš je sa plafona, ne brini.
Nauči da razbijaš jaje jednom rukom.Igraj se u supermarketu uslužnom kasom, to je blagodet.
Ljuljaj se u tri ujutru.
Naruči 5 kugli sladoleda.
Nasmej se upozorenju ‚‚samo za decu‚"Prođi ispod prskalica u parku!
Stani ispred vrata sa senzorom, pljesni, pa se pravi da su se otvorila na tvoju komandu.
Baci kap, dve vode na vrelu ringlu i zamisli da si čarobnjak koji baca čini (ako nemaš ‚‚senzor vrata" blizu kuće)
Šetaj pored reke.
Gurni prst u reku, nećeš ostati bez njega.
Vodi ljubav.
Ujutru.
U podne.
U sumrak.
Uveče.
U dva.
U tri ne možeš, tada ideš da se ljuljaš.
Vodi ljubav stalno.
Svuda.
I ne sa svakim.
Nikako ne sa svakim.
Ako imaš priliku da vodiš ljubav na nekom krovu zgrade, po slikarskom platnu uvaljan u boje, umočene kose u temperu URADI to.
Ako nemaš tu mogućnost, prvo kupi platno, stvori je.
Slikaj - sa njom.
Ili njim.
Okačite sliku iznad kamina.
Neka vas svi gosti uvek pitaju čija je slika.
Zagonetno se smešite.
Držite se za ruke ispod stola.
Pomazi je po stomaku gde je remek delo vaše slikarske tehnike.
Ljubi.
Grli.
Golicaj.
Pleši.
Praštaj.
Maštaj.
Putuj.
Ne propusti pravljenje figurica od plastelina.
Ne propusti prvi jorgovan.
Ni poslednje lubenice.
I to da se umažeš jogurtom.
Ili da pričuvaš nečijeg mezimca.
Smej se.
Mnogo se smej.
I ne pokrivaj usta rukama, jer imaš jedan krivi zub, samo neka je zdrav.
Više bole krivi putevi u životu.
Pravi musaku.
Pravi porodični turnir u kartama.
Čitaj ceo vikend.
Pokisni.
Slušaj muziku rizičnih decibela.
Okreči sobu u žuto.
Pevaj, ako tako osećaš.
Plači, ako tako osećaš.
Kupi šator.
Najveći u radnji.I opremu za kampovanje.
Slaži slagalice.
Zovi redovno roditelje, jer tako želiš.
Javi se iako je prekasno.
Posoli ako nije slano.
NE zaboravljaj prijatelje.
Ne zaboravljaj stvari po ‚‚džepovima", tu su neke važne sitnice.
Stavi malo više pene u kupku.
Uuu, i pravi balončiće.
Pričaj "po starinski".
Nekada se samo obmani.
Pričaj o stvarima koje voliš.
Pričaj o ljudima koje voliš.
Nije teško naći ljude prema kojima nisi ravnodušan.
Nije teško voleti.
Pričaj i o stvarima koje te muče.
Pričaj.I slušaj.
Budi brižan i samilostan.
Pomoli se onda kada iskreno osećaš.
Neguj ljubav.
Govori MI, umesto Ja.
NE beži od sebe.Ne plaši se.
Lep si i nasmejan i namršten.
Pa šta ako znaš samo dva akorda na gitari.
Izgradi u sebi, ne oko sebe.
Zasadi hektar kalemljenih trešanja.
Donesi joj seme za nanu i origano sa službenog puta.
Čekaj, pa ti nemaš službeni put.
Postao si ono što želiš.
Onda se odvezi biciklom do pijace i kupi.
Budi kreativan, NIŠTA NIJE GLUPO ako je namera prava.
Oboji svoj svet.
So here is the #BookChallenge I put together for the year, muxing up categories from several Book Challenge lists I spotted on the net, such as POPSUGAR Reading Challenge or the Reading Women Challange. It counts 30 books as I will hopefully read a few more?
I put together one that could provide me a mix of pushing me out of my comfort zone/broadening my horizons and a very much deserved in this crazy long night self-indulgence.
I am sharing it, even if it’s a bit late for this kind of projects but what is Time during a pandemic? The passage of time has been long lost ever since… Anyway! I am sharing this hoping to provide useful/intersting tips or - who knows? - inspiration to do this or a similar challenge to fellow bookworms and not. I added flags on certain categories so you know what to expect, that is where to find queer content or where to set sails. After all, in a time where travelling is pretty much not an option, a book can a be the best airplane ticket to fly around this big troubled world forgetting the current chaos…

do you have any fics where neil is like kinda mean to the foxes or like stands up to them? i want fics where they realize that he’s not very innocent. or just any fics where he’s in character? i hate ones where he acts like a baby. thank you so much for all the work you do!! <3
We had a merry discussion about what is “in character” for Neil, and you might be surprised at the different aspects that we listed. That aside, I think you’ll enjoy many fics in our previous asks, particularly ‘Neil says it's fine I've had worse’ at the top. You’ll also find dark!, bamf!, and butcher!Neil there, plus him standing up to the Foxes about his sexuality or their treatment/dismissal of Andrew. - A

His Father's Eyes by maeusetod [Not Rated, 3012 Words, Complete, 2016]
Sometimes Neil had thought about, when and under which circumstances he would hear the name Nathaniel again, but he had not expected it to happen like this.
Shrike by Leteel6 [Rated E, 13870 Words, Complete, 2021]
Time’s up, Junior.
Indeed. Indeed it was. For who though, Nathaniel was unsure. All he knew for certain that the blood on the wall was still wet, not yet tacky which meant that he wasn't too far behind his fathers trail. He would catch up to him, this he knew with single-minded determination and it would either end in his death or his fathers. Maybe both. One way or another though, he would finish this.
Or, Neil never ends up going back to Baltimore. Instead, his father comes to Palmetto.

Lifeline by pandaseek [Rated T, 231608 words, incomplete, last updated Oct 2021]
"What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious.
"I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?"
Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.
"The real one. The one that fits you best."
"Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful?
Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back.
"Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."
