#bickering and competitiveness is just a part of the package deal when it comes to Rodney

Any future that doesn't involve Radek & Rodney together, makes no sense to me.
And I don't mean romantically, ship who you want to ship this is about finding someone who totally gets you. Someone who not only handles your BS, calls you out on it, but can understand and match your level of intelligence.
Someone who can add to it.
I mean, being a genius is an integral part of Rodney's personality, and finding a person who can truly follow along with that brain of his is harder than winning the lottery. (Rodney would even do the math.)
Absolutely no way Rodney's going to let that go, at least not for long. I believe if he did, it would be a noticeable hole in his life, and once he noticed why the hole is there (let's be honest, he may not realize it at first,) he'd be bringing Radek back into his orbit immediately.
He'd pretend it wasn't his idea. But it wouldn't matter.
Radek would know.

HEYO!! so!!! cddm!!! ik you get a lot of asks about javid (fair), but i was wondering—are there any headcanons for the side/bg characters in cddm? (like race, albert, the other newsies in general) and what has been your favorite scene you've written so far??
I HAVE SO MANY OTHER ASKS TO ANSWER BUT I SAW THIS ONE AND CAME RUNNING
OK SO:
i'm gonna answer the last part first, and then go into headcanons!
so, my fave scene so far HAS to be the audition scene. i just,, i love it so much, and i feel like it's some of my best writing!
however, my OTHER favorite is the scene where jack comes out to kath, just for the Emotions. i'm not ecstatic about the final product and the way i worded the scene, but i feel like it's really authentic emotionally ?? and i just !! AUGH i live for jack kelly angst
MOVING ON TO HEADCANONS !! im not gonna talk about davey, jack, kath, sarah, or charlie, but they are Here In Spirit
Antonio 'Racetrack' Higgins:
pronouns: he/him ; sexuality: gay
so we know that he's dating Spot !! they've been together for a while now, at least 6 months, and they just,, click
but more onto Race by himself !! he's playing vlad, obviously, and is amazing at playing comic relief characters. it's what he Does; he loves it, and loves making people laugh !!
he's also a dancer; i imagine that he's been dancing since he was about,, five years old. used to be on competition teams, but traded the competitive dance for theatre once he got into high school
he actually met albert in dance !!
he and jack also go way back!! not that jack was in dance or anything, but Medda would often go to the dance recitals and bring Jack and Charlie (because some of her theatre kids were also in the recitals). so, jack and race met through that, and have been besties ever since !!
Sean 'Spot' Conlon:
pronouns: he/him ; sexuality: bisexual
dating race !! he's very much the Strong and Silent Type in the the relationship, but thats ok because he'd gladly let race talk for HOURS just to listen to him.
he started theatre when he was fairly young; he's been in more productions than Katherine, actually, but a lot of those were just small roles in local productions.
pretty good dancer; not the best, but he's getting there
he's very protective of his friends, which is also why he takes such a liking to davey. i feel like they'd have a solid friendship- they're both on the quieter side at first, but if given the chance to talk and develop that friendship, they'd be SO close
he sees medda as a second mother and also just like. shows up for dinner sometimes, so his relationship with jack is more like "bickering brothers who also sometimes get dairy queen together" instead of friends
Albert "Red" DaSilva:
pronouns: he/him ; sexuality: pansexual
besties with race !!
he's not an actor, though; he helps with choreography, and also works tech! it's very hectic but him and race are both medda's right hands when it comes to choreo
he's dating Smalls (sam), and their relationship is pretty new !! he's really happy with them
in his free time hes rlly into engineering (which is why he's so into tech work with the theatre), and also works on cars a lot
he just really likes getting his hands dirty !!
also he's kind of shy but he's also a HUGE flirt, which is very uh. interesting for him to deal with, but he makes do
OTHERS:
Sam "Smalls" O'Brien - she/they, bisexual, dating albert. they like skating, and play Lily in the show!
Specs (they/them, bi) and Romeo (he/him, gay) - both a package deal. best friends, both freshmen in the ensemble!
JoJo de la Guerra - he/him, straight, freshman like Specs and Romeo!! also besties with them !!
Benji "Buttons" Davenport - he/him, trans, asexual! he's a senior, good friends with Charlie, and doesn't rlly do *that* much with the theatre stuff, but he helps Charlie with his stage manager things !!

Blame Taylor Swift for distracting me from my other stories (which are still being updated I promise). Eleven parts - eleven songs. Hope you like it. 
Invisible String
Famous singer Caroline Forbes returns to her hometown for a funeral and to face demons from her past, not expecting someone familiar to return and throw the confected world she's created upside down. Based off songs and lyrics from Taylor Swift's Folklore. On FF and AO3
Chapter one: the 1
Mystic Falls, VA
The large, antique mirror was always one of her favourite pieces of furniture in the house. Her mother had been an avid collector of rare, antique pieces and this was one of her most treasured finds.
Liz told her as a child that mirrors possess magical powers.
They don't lie.
Looking at herself today, Caroline knew that much was true. She barely recognised the woman staring back at her.
Her knee length, black, Chanel dress was modest but stylish and her blonde tresses were pulled back into a low chignon at the nape of her neck with a pair of simple, pearl earrings her only accessories. 
She looked every bit the grieving ex-girlfriend, her publicist had made sure of it. The problem was, only half of that statement was true. Ex-girlfriend, yes, but grieving she wasn't quite sure.
Caroline walked to the nearby bay window, looking down at the beach below.
Her large mansion sitting atop the cliffs overlooking the sea had been an impulse purchase five years earlier. She'd bought it for her mother initially. But Liz always maintained that she preferred the small house on Mulberry Drive where she'd raised Caroline and it had remained vacant ever since.
She couldn't bring herself to sell it, if anything it was a veiled reminder to the residents of Mystic Falls who she'd become and just how much some had underestimated her worth. Petty, yes, but Caroline felt it was justified all the same.
She faltered, seeing the long stretch of sand below. It always reminded her of him. The lazy summer days that passed while they played in the surf and built a myriad of sandcastles, some even taller than Caroline. He was like that, always had to be the most competitive. The best.
But also so loving and kind, his unconditional support like a warm hug that she'd craved for too long before he arrived in town. He was everything she needed and that feeling had never abated, even after all this time.
She looked away and shook her head, determined to push those particular memories deeper inside. This trip was about her ex-boyfriend, not the boy with the dimples who rescued her and what they could have had, what they could have been. Caroline repeatedly told herself that their story was destined to be captured like a snapshot in time, nothing more.
After all, some of the greatest movies of all time were never made.
He'd gone on to become one of the hottest and most sought after actors in Hollywood, his recent nomination for an Academy Award his latest accomplishment. 
Sure, she liked to pretend she didn't keep tabs on his life but that would be lying. Every time she saw him photographed in magazines and at movie premieres, his arm around the latest girlfriend, Caroline couldn't help but wish it was her.
But they'd had their chance and there was too much history between them to ever salvage what could have been.
"Caroline, you ready?" she turned to face her publicist and best friend from the doorway. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?" She nodded, her invisible mask now firmly in place, determined to hopefully get through this day unscathed and as quickly as possible.
Then she could get the hell out of Mystic Falls and never come back again.
1 week earlier...Empire Field Mile High, Denver CO
"Thanks everyone, you've been amazing, good night!" Caroline yelled into the microphone, waving at the heaving crowd for the last time.
Whether it was a small dive bar at the beginning of her career or the giant stadiums she'd graduated to, Caroline didn't think she'd ever tire of the feelings it evoked. Caroline didn't think she'd be here, let alone doing something that she loved. She'd been singing since she was a little girl sitting on her mother's lap but never thought she'd be singing her own songs for the masses.
She was discovered in one of those very dive bars at the age of nineteen. It was her first regular gig and although the clientele were either non-existent or questionable, Caroline was just grateful to have a steady job for three months.
When the handsome and immaculately dressed brunette (although she wouldn't admit that to him now) had entered the bar, looking completely out of place, she was mid-song. She could remember the cover song like it was yesterday, Breathe by Sia.
Just after her set, he'd produced one of those impressive-looking business cards before approaching her on stage. Enzo St John was his name. His demeanour was poised, his manner and unexpected British accent extremely polished.
"I'm going to make you a star."
If she wasn't so starving, desperate and facing eviction from her Santa Monica studio, Caroline probably would have scoffed at his cliched terminology. But she wasn't that much of an idiot.
And he did make her a star. As evidenced by her steady climb up the music charts, sold out concerts and complete make-over from small town girl to multiple grammy award winner and current 'it' girl if nights like this playing in Denver were anything to go by.
"You knocked it out of the park!" Enzo yelled, trying to be heard over the loud cheers from the manic crowd in Denver as she walked off stage.
"You do realise this is a football stadium, right?" She asked, taking the towel one of the stage hands had kindly provided.
"I don't understand." The way his forehead creased in utter confusion was enough to prove that very point.
"Of course he doesn't," her agent interrupted their conversation. "Enzo doesn't realise he's used a baseball metaphor because all he cares about is his beloved soccer."
"I'll pretend you didn't just commit blasphemy by calling football that dreaded word, Bennett," he huffed. "Bloody Americans."
"We love you too, Lorenzo," Caroline teased, throwing the towel she'd just used at him teasingly. "Now, what's next?"
Bonnie and Enzo looked at her mouths agape. Only Caroline Forbes, America's sweetheart, would be this hardworking. Her schedule was hectic enough but Caroline always took it in her stride and strived to do more and be better. Her mother had taught her that from a young age and she hadn't forgotten since.
"Ah, I don't know, maybe go back to the hotel and sleep, darling," Enzo responded, finally finding his voice. "This tour is only going to get crazier and you need to rest."
"Even Kat would recommend that and we all know how much she loves a good after party," Bonnie joked.
She was an agent at premiere talent company CAA and had recently come on the road for a few weeks. Caroline had met her and publicist Katherine Pierce not long after Enzo. The three were a packaged deal even if they did fight like siblings. Being an only child, Caroline actually relished in their incessant bickering.
Caroline weaved her way backstage and into her makeshift dressing room. Her finale outfit was meant to not only sparkle but also to stand out. Which was great but comfort definitely wasn't an overall factor in its design.
After an obligatory swig of Evian, she began to change. A knock at the door wasn't wholly unexpected, hence the screen she was standing behind. Usually, it was one of her personal staff needing to discuss various matters. Caroline was someone who didn't like to be alone, especially with her thoughts, so would never discourage company.
"Care," she heard her publicist call out. "You decent?"
"Come in, Kat," she said, albeit muffled by the top she was removing.
"Amazing show, as usual," she smiled, closing the door behind her. "How are you feeling?"
"Invigorated," she grinned. "Performing live is the best high anyone could ask for."
"Well, I'm glad," she began slowly,"because I have some news that I thought you should know." Caroline didn't like the sound of that, it was just like when she'd been informed her mother had passed away in the line of duty three years ago. She suddenly felt sick, holding onto the screen for some much- needed balance.
"News?"
"From your hometown," she added. "I wasn't sure if you already know but given your response I assume not."
"Just tell me," she snapped. Caroline knew it was uncalled for given she was just the messenger but there was something about the mention of Mystic Falls that had the tendency to throw her into a spin.
"I'm sorry," Kat soothed. "Your, uh, I mean, uh, Damon Salvatore has passed away."
Caroline felt the precarious sense of balance she had slowly slipping away, all the way onto the floor. It was only when Kat scooped her up and led her towards the couch that she finally processed her words.
Damon.
Dead.
"How?" She managed to bite out as Katherine force fed her some water.
"Motorcycle accident," she offered, brushing the hair from her forehead. "He collided with a vehicle on the interstate. It was instant."
Caroline closed her eyes. She'd always wondered what it would feel like to hear those words but it didn't register like she'd imagined. She'd wished so many bad things on him too many times. She thought there'd be a sense of relief or freedom.
But all she felt was nothing. Not sad, not angry, not shock or disbelief. Just nothing.
Besides Kat telling her she was "so sorry" and continuing to rub her back, the silence in the room was deafening.
"How do you, of all people, know that?" She croaked, sitting up and looking at her friend imploringly. They'd never met. Damon was nothing but a revised memory she'd concocted for her public image.
The typical small town girl with the high school sweetheart angle and her management team had eaten it up. If only it was true.
"Those rabid vultures at TMZ somehow got a hold of it, want to know if Caroline Forbes is attending his funeral in Mystic Falls."
"Well, given you just told me…"
"I know, like I said vultures," she hissed. "I'm not even going to justify their heartless request with a response. Can I get you anything, sweetie? Tissues, water, a really big bowl of chilli fries with extra ketchup?"
Caroline snuggled back into Katherine's embrace knowing exactly what she wanted. She wanted to forget, even if it was just for one night. "I need a really big bottle of tequila."
Caroline winced from the memory, thinking that tequila truly was evil and that she wouldn't be touching it again anytime soon.
Fast forward a couple of days and Caroline was here preparing for Damon's funeral. They'd only arrived late the night before so as to avoid the welcome circus. Her team had accompanied her to Mystic Falls in a show of support and she appreciated it, even if they didn't know the full story.
Given every media outlet knew about his death via TMZ, Caroline figured if she didn't go along with it then they'd know her backstory wasn't exactly what she'd sold them and that couldn't happen.
She'd worked too hard to get where she was and her past wasn't going to return and ruin that.

Summary: Prompt fic from @halzekrhodestead on tumblr:  If you are still taking prompts can u do one with #halzek and #Rhodestead doing on a double date. Author's Note: Thank you so much for the prompt halzekrhodestead! Literally my two favorite One Chicago pairings in one fic! Yes please! I was rewatching the Infection crossover when I started to write this and yeah, this happened. So in this, Connor never left Chicago. He never dated Ava in this either.
It had been a long couple of days for everyone in Chicago. More so for the doctors, fire fighters, and policemen working the streets and keeping Chicago safe. Will had worked with the CDC and headed up being cocked in the head with a freaking microscope by Seldon. Intelligence had managed to track down Seldon's next target and Jay Halstead being Jay Halstead ended up alone with him. Now, Connor, Will, Jay, and Adam were sitting in a bar together. Each of them nursing their drinks in front of them. Jay looked around before looking back to his older brother and smiled. "Chicago is buzzing with life." He muttered, leaning into Adam's side. The blonde man placing his arm over Jay's shoulder and pulling him as close as he could without pulling the detective out of his chair. "That's a lot thanks to you and Will. Of course everyone was involved... the firefighters, the medics, the doctors, Intelligence, the cops, the CDC but somehow you two seemed to do the most." Connor stated, taking another sip of his drink, grimacing slightly at the burn in his throat. Jay shook his head. "I didn't do much. I was following orders." The detective stated. "You were the one who saved an entire room of business people and distracted Seldon long enough for us to get to you." Adam countered. Connor gave him a 'I-told-you-so' look as the younger Halstead looked to him. Jay's face flushed for a second as he attempted to hide within Adam's shoulder. Will chuckled. "Only after he literally cut himself, almost infected himself, and scared the shit out of me." The red head teased. Jay sent a glare over to his brother. "Says the guy who got clocked with a microscope and freaked me the hell out." The detective retorted. Connor had a smile plastered to his face as he watched the Halstead brothers bicker back and forth. Chicago had been terrified for the last couple of days. Seldon had struck the city with an act of bioterrorism just because he had lost his funding. So many lives had been lost because of the man's actions. The fire department, police departments, and the hospitals all worked to the everything that they could do to stop people from dying. Connor had been working with the people in quaratine while Dr. Marcel had been doing the surgeries. After his father's death, he had returned to working in the ED full time and Dr. Marcel came in and took his place in cardiology. He had been terrified when he had gotten the message from Jay about Will. He mental image of Will's head and face bloody because he was working on a cure with the CDC wouldn't leave his mind. Will had been at Seldon's last target location, BRT Headquarters, when Jay had put himself in danger for the sake of the city. Everything that had happened terrified him. He knew that Adam had to be feeling the same way. Adam had been outside the room with Will when Jay had been with Seldon. Connor brought his glass to his lips and threw back the rest of his drink before setting the glass back down. "Why don't we go get something to eat? You guys have to be starving. It's on me. You three did a lot more than I did these last couple of days." Connor questioned. Adam was the first to crack a smile and nod. "Yeah, let's do it. Then maybe we can go to the park or something. Just spend some time together that doesn't involve hospitals or criminals." The blonde added. Jay and Will looked to each for a moment before agreeing. "Let's do it." Will said. Connor placed down enough cash to cover for all four of them before getting up and heading for the door with the other three in tow. The night air of Chicago was warm and soothing as it hit the four once they got outside. Jay shoved his hands into his pockets and leaned closer to Adam. Adam had his arm thrown across Jay's waist. Will and Connor walked ahead of them hand in hand, leading the charge to go to the closest food place. x They hadn't stayed long at the dinner before they were finished and heading out. The park wasn't too far away from where they currently were. Adam and Will looked to each other, a competitive look shared before they sprinted off across the street and into the park. Connor and Jay snickered to each other as they kept their pace and entered into the park. "I bet you can't make it to that tree before I do!" Adam shouted, pointing to the farthest tree from them. "Let's go for it!" Will hollered back. Connor and Jay both chose to sit on a nearby bench and watch as the two raced against each other. Will managed to keep up neck and neck with Adam but the blonde pulled in victorious at the last second. The officer cheered loudly, throwing his arms up and doing a small dance, pulling a laugh from the three others. "They never grow up, do they?" Jay questioned, throwing his head to the side to look at Connor. Connor shrugged with a small smirk playing on his lips. "Not at all." Looking away from the detective to peek at his phone for a second. Jay pressed his lips together for a second, making a noise in his chest. "It's oddly silent now." Connor looked back over to Jay but before he could say anything he was pulled off of the bench and was flat on the ground underneath Will. Through the corner of his eye, he caught Jay getting pulled over the back of the bench by Adam before the detective fell on top of the blonde. Will smirked down at the black haired man and smiled. "It wouldn't be a proper date if we spent all the time playing competitive games without, would it?" The red head said, his voice dropping low enough that Connor could feel the vibration of Will's voice against his chest. Connor rolled his eyes, a small smile tugging on his own lips as he peered up at the blonde through his eye lashes. "Last time we all competed against each other, you broke my coffee table." Connor stated. Will pouted. "But that wasn't me." "Yes it was!" Adam and Jay both yelled in unison. Will peeked over his shoulder to see the two cops now sitting up and staring at them. "This is why we don't play board games anymore. For a doctor, your fist is dangerous." Adam added. Will looked back over to Connor to see the playful smirk still on Connor's face. "This isn't far. You guys are ganging up on me." The elder Halstead stated, the pout still on his face. Jay let out a laugh, leaning back against Adam. The blonde laid down against the cold grass, his finger tips carding through Jay's hair. "I'm your brother," he paused before pointing to Connor, "He's your boyfriend." He paused once more before motioning to Adam. "He's my packaged deal. Get over it." Will couldn't help but smile again as he leaned up, allowing for Connor to finally get off of the ground. He sighed happily, looking up to the starry sky. "Chicago sure is beautiful at night." He paused, looking back to the other doctor. "So are you." Connor face flushed and he stummered to get words out. Adam chuckled from his spot, muttering a quick, "That was cliche." "But it works." Jay added. Connor looked up to the darkened sky and smiled. "It's peaceful." "For the chaos that is our lives... it feels natural." Jay whispered, also looking up to the star littered sky. Will perked up, looking over to Adam with the familiar glint in his eye. The blonde made eye contact with him and Connor knew it was game over. He chuckled softly as he heard Will say, "I bet I can swing higher than you." Adam smirked, looking over to the nearby swing set. "I bet I can over over the bars." Jay quickly leaned up just before Adam was shooting off of the ground and darting towards the swing set with Will in tow. Jay and Connor shared another look, rolling their eyes before pushing themselves off of the ground. "Let's make sure they don't break anything." The doctor muttered. Jay nodded. "More like, make sure they don't break yourself. You doctors act like your invincible." Connor snorted. "Cops are much better either. How many times have you and Adam almost been killed?" Jay smiled, shoving his hands into his pockets as he and Connor made their way over to the swing set where Will was already dead even with the bar and Adam was flying over it, kicking his legs out. "More times than I can count and Adam isn't helping that count at all." The two got to the swing set. Both Connor and Jay choosing two away from the competing men. The wind gushed around them as they got higher, talking as they moved along. Connor watched the other two on the opposite side. Will had also passed the bar, his butt coming off the seat every so often but Adam was still higher than him. Adam threw words of victory towards Will before he felt his butt come off the swing and he free fell until his stomach hit the top rail. Jay grimaced as Adam groaned loudly and coughed before he slipped off the bar, managing to land back into the swing. Jay and Connor both let out a loud laugh before Will slowed down and followed in suit. Adam held his stomach for a minute, grumbling that he was okay. The blonde shot Will a look through his messed up hair. "I win." Author's Note: This didn't turn out the way I wanted it but half way through I ended up getting writer's block on the dinner part so I just didn't write it out and skipped to the next part. I hope you like it! Fluff isn't exactly my strong suit but with all the angst that I write, I wanted to write some fluff. Thank you so much for the prompt. I hope it turned out okay!

Jiro: My Hero Academia?
Anon asked: What if Jiro went to the same class as Midoriya? Who would be his friends/enemies/frenemies/crush?
Omg I’m just getting into BNHA AND I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS
What would his quirk be even? Like I think his hypnosis mic thing could potentially count as a quirk and all that, like he can summon speakers and hypnotize people/ knock them out with his voice
Like he doesn’t need the hypmic per se, but he just has the mic to amplify his voice
And like his costume would probably be something practical and pays homage to his other two brothers
Probably in blue
Okay so, he would be friends with Midorya because Midorya reminds him of nerdy saburo who always manages to beat him with strategies
And he finds Deku’s power super fun and cool and all that
Friends also with Uraraka because she’s a package deal with Deku and she’s also genuinely very very nice
Friends with Tsuyu! They bond through jump tricks and he asks her to teach him how to do more complicated flips, even if he can’t do it or jump as high as her, he also finds her frog abilities really cool
He would get along with Kaminari because they’re both fucking pranksters and they love mischief and okay basically they’re the same person honestly??? And can you see how he would have the best concerts with lightning effects???
Also because they have the same big dumbass energy
Oh god he would so get along with Jiro. Like because the earphones jacks and his music!!! Like!!! It’s really cool how they can combine attacks and it would be so deadly
Plus they bond over music!
Friends with Kirishima too! Because he gets having an idol (who’s red too shocker) and how he wants to live up to him!!! Plus they both have an honor code and they would go down swinging for his friends
In essence, probably best bros with Kaminari, Kirishima and Jiro and they lowkey wreak havoc on everyone but would also die for their friends
Frenemies with Iida probably because of yhe president’s love for order, but Iida isn’t a terrible person to be around and all that, but frenemies in a sense that they don’t have the same view on rules, but have the same moral code... so they’re friends but they’re always bickering
Frenemies with Aoyama because he’s annoying to him and kinda flashy and conceited, but he just hates how even if he insults aoyama openly, Aoyama just doesn’t respond
He hates mineta because... Jiro really doesn’t know how to handle girls but he knows it’s not the way mineta does it, kind of an enemy but not something he’d take way too seriously... okay fine an actual enemy or something
Enemies/Frenemies with Bakugo BECAUSE HONESTLY BOTH OF THEM ARE AGGRESSIVE TM and like both naturally competitive, or that or they end up being like friends-ish but also very much rivals
Acquainted with Sato, Koda, Shoji, Sero, Tokoyami, Ojiro, Toru... like they’re friends but not like super duper close? Like he’s hanging out with them and all
I see him being edgy with Tokoyami and in general teaching him how to put his feelings out with spray paint and it would be fun
Eating with Sato is always fun, so he has fun with him when it comes to food
And like everyone else he’d be friends with but not that close, so like talking vibes and acquaintances... you know those kinda friends
Crushing probably on Todoroki becauuuuse that kind of mystery and allure and honestly that badass energy just kind of gets him sometimes
Plus the fact that he’s just TODOROKI
Probably also crushing or being friends with Momo! Because like she’s so bubbly and confident and all that and he also can’t stop looking at her, not for her bod though, but for the pure energy radiating from her
Though his crush on Todoroki is a lot stronger
OKAY ANYWAY:
He would be part of the BakuSquad (which is Bakugō, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero and Mina) because they’re his kind of crowd, though he would hang out with Jiro for musical bondings and all that and hang out with Midorya and Uraraka because they’re fun smol nerdy people and as much as he would deny it, he loves smol nerdy people because of Saburo and all
okay yay those are my thoughts

Kpop ship for Anon
Hey everyone! Okay so, after a crazy week, I was finally able to finish a ship! This ship is for an anon who didn’t give themselves a name, so anon, I hope you recognize your description and you enjoy! 
Based off of your request, I learned these things about you: 
You’re 5′2 with short brown hair and big brown eyes 
You’re also half Saudi and half Morocan 
You’re artistic 
You like to try different fashion styles- and most fashionable among your friends
You’re described as friendly and you also enjoy volunteering me too!
Some hobbies of yours: drawing, reading, playing video games, and shopping
It takes a lot for you to get mad, but when you do-watch out 
You’re also an Aquarius OMG ME TOO 
And you’re also very smart
And in your request, you asked to be shipped with BTS, NCT, and Stray Kids! This is my first Stray Kids ship as well! Let’s do this ^^
BTS: Taehyung
Alrighty, you two are smol bean who want to giggle, love, and spread love around the world. And by the way, Taehyung would be completely head over heels for you, so keep that in mind. I’m not saying he would be that guy that would circle his life ENITRELY around you, but you are a big part in his life, so you are in top priorities. In this ship, I think Taehyung would be drawn to you almost instantly. If looks could kill, imagine what happens to him when he learns more about you. Taehyung would admire your short hair, let’s just put that out there to the world. He would love to play with your hair, twirling the little strands in his fingers, and you also look really good with short hair, so, he can’t resist. Taehyung would also love that you’re super personable, humble, and down to earth as well. I think your humbleness would be Taehyung’s favorite thing about you. There’s something about when a person is humble that makes them so irresistible and Taehyung is our humble king, so like yeah, he needs a queen(or king if you identify differently) sooooooo… (: Moving right along, Taehyung would be the best boyfriend ever. Again, laying out the facts here, but you’ll understand why. You’re forever showered in affection, he’s 110% honest with you, he’s the best listener, he’s sympathetic, you name is, Tae’s it. He’s just a whole package deal bro. I can see honesty being a big part in your relationship bc without trust, you can’t have a relationship, especially since Tae is a world wide known celebrity. Of course there are other factors about relationships that are extremely important, but if Tae isn’t honest with you for certain parts while he’s gone, you can’t trust him ya know? But you never have to worry about a thing. A penny for a thought, I think he would admire your skill and love for video games. He would love to see you light up about a certain update and he would love to buy you merch from your fav games. Date night is crazy and spontaneous, it’s Taehyung. I wanna touch on this bc this is perfect: fashionpassion. We all know Tae is a fashion icon, but you two would experiment so much with your styles and you both enjoy dressing each other as well Couples outfits or matching outfits are a must, how can you not do that? Lastly, PDA. Taehyung is a puppy/bear hybrid ball of fluff, so he’s always wanting hugs and kisses. He enjoys latching himself around you so he can get your love. You don't mind it, it’s quite cute and you also find it endearing because Tae isn’t afraid to be needy. Lastly, kisses all over. Soft peck and cheek kisses. Imagine Tae’s soft lips pecking yours- ahh, I’m jealous. 
Tumblr media
NCT: Yuta 
The world is your oyster. That was the first thing I thought of when I made this ship decision. You and Yuta would have the best friend lover sort of love and you’re both spontaneous and enjoy life in the moment. I wanna emphasize spontaneous because you two get and go and you two are very much in love, so buckle up. Also, just because Yuta is very mischievous and stubborn- don’ t let that fool you. Yuta would be a needy boyfriend. He’d enjoy having you around, knowing you’re close, it’d help him stay calm. And Yuta is also not afraid to show that he is needy for you. It doesn’t matter if he’s voicing his need to you in front of the boys or on a V-Live to the fans, if he misses you, he’ll be like ‘yeAAAHHH, I miss Y/n.’ You would also serve as his rock as well. I really like to think you’re down to earth and chill, and that’s what Yuta would need. He would also need someone who’s understanding and a good listener, and you fit that description perfectly. Yuta would always have a safe place to go to and he’s extremely soft when he’s around you. He would have the cute little habit of asking you questions like ‘you still love me right?’ or ‘where do you see ourselves in the future?’ and he also likes to share his grievances when it comes to work. He always asks you if he can vent though, but like, of course you will listen to him. Moving right along, when you and Yuta aren’t soft and cozy at home, you two are wilder than bucks. You would always tag along with Yuta when he would go out with the boys, and sometimes you would even get to travel with them. You love going because you get to see your love do what he loves, and you also get loads of inspiration from the places you go and you’re nearly in a state of euphoria every time you travel. And keep in mind, you’re gonna have Yuta wanting you to participate in activities with the boys, and of course sometimes the boys want you on their team against Yuta. You don’t mind it, a good game of friendly competition, right? I just thought of a cute concept: you two and cartoons. I’m very sure that Yuta would always want you to watch cartoons with him. It would be a cute little tradition/date night thing where you two get some food and snuggle up maybe sometimes making a blanket fort and you binge cartoons. Another thing I can see you two doing is when Yuta is home resting, he’s asleep in your lap and you’re reading a book playing with this hair. PDA is also very needy. His favorite thing to do is give you back hugs, back hugs for days. Super soft hand holding with his thumb rubbing yours, and forehead pecks. WOWO THIS GOT SUEPR SOFT I’M DED.
Tumblr media
Stray Kids: Minho 
Oki doki, here we are, in my very first Stray Kids ship, I hope I do them justice. Okay so, you and Minho are super soft cat parents and I am deceased because of it. To the public eye, you two are sort of shy and a quiet couple, but in reality, you and Minho are happy go lucky babes who are giggle and goofy. Straight up, Minho would be your saving grace. If you ever need any sort of pick me up, I can grantee you that Minho will save the day. Whether you are sad, or mad, or frustrating about something, you can count on Minho to do something cute and goofy and you’ll be smiling from ear to ear, not knowing what you were upset about five seconds ago. I can also see Minho bringing out your more extroverted side, so if you two are in public, don't be surprised if you two do something goofy and you’re trending on Instagram for being #couplegoals. You two would go out a lot, sometimes for date nights, most of the time not, and you two love to go out and have an adventure. You two would shop a lot, Minho getting kitty toys for the babies and you get to pamper yourself, although it’s normally Minho doing the pampering. You two get matching outfits sometimes too. The outfits are never identical, but the color ways would be similar and the outfits would compliment each other and you’d look super cute. Again, you two just have that much power that if you wore matching outfits, the internet would lose its shit. Moving right along, you and Minho both have your share of staying in at home. He’s got the three little babies at home he has to take care of, and since he’s super busy with Stray Kids, he would take every opportunity to spend time with his babies as much as he can. You love seeing him with his babies, it’s a softer side of Minho we don’t get to see enough. So like, we count on you to give us that soft content, hah. Playing around with video games is also a must as well, again, friendly competition is always cute and fun. FOOD. DATE NIGHT AND FOOD. LISTEN. Grocery store adventures are one thing, and the main entrée hah, get it?: the cooking process is even more fun. Recipe testing is also a MUST MUST MUST. Sometimes when the recipe fails, you two end up having more fun and more laughs. Sometimes there is a grease fire-- but no blood no foul. But of course you two would find some holy grails and you’d make some bombass foods for dinner/date night. And we can’t forget Jisung- he’s almost your worst enemy. You two lowkey bicker over how much bff and S/o time Minho should get, and Minho just lays back on the couch and chuckles bc you two get so frustrated so easy with each other. Lastly PDA, soft and clingy, both giving and receiving. You both enjoy a lot of hand holding, you like for him to hug you constantly, and he loves to whine and get as many kisses from you as he can. (:

For @skiretehfox's Siblings AU do I even need to explain myself? It's three different Max(es) and they're all related. I mean, I already love them individually but ALL of them TOGETHER? Fucking amazeballs and Max galore.
Triple Max
They're triplets separated only by time or at least that's how they introduce themselves to new acquaintances whenever they're together. They could pass off as identical triplets if it weren't for the differing hairstyles and height. But if you look closely, you'll see the telltale freckles speckled on each of their faces, incriminating evidence of their bloodline. That and their inherent passion for photography.
"Always take the fucking shot."
There's Maximus, the eldest, she's the prodigy who doesn't give a shit. She's a double major at the age of 22 who dabbles in law when she's not cutting classes. The only perfect attendance she has on official record are all of her photohraphy classes but even then she zones out in class if it's a lesson she's already figured out on her own ages before. Maximus is not the most responsible academically but she makes up for it with pure talent and skills that make her formidable even outside of university.
She also holds the title for messiest hair among the siblings. It only adds to her handsomeness or so her admirers say. She has this aura that just naturally exudes power and authority. Just as much as she is dashing, she's also intimidating and with good reason. She's pretty much chill unless you piss her off. Do not piss her off and double do not mess with her sisters. She's scary as fuck and with her skills, she will destroy you. The other two sisters look up to her as the protective bodyguard that has probably, if not already, killed a man.
"Ready for your close up, sweetheart?"
Up next is Maxine, second oldest, she's the smooth talker who's friends with everyone. She's a theater major and a film producer at the age of 20 with an already bursting portfolio of indie films. Unlike her solitary sister, Maxine prefers to surround herself with people and genuinely enjoys their company. She's the most fashionable out of the three but only because managing her wardrobe is part of the cinematography package or so she says.
She's also the only sibling who grew their hair and without competition, her hair is just as smooth as her people skills. She could befriend even her worst enemies with just her suave charm. Although she comes off as easygoing, she can raise hell when pissed off. Again, do not piss her off and double do not mess with her sisters. She's powerful as fuck and with her connections, she will destroy your reputation. The other two sisters rely on her as the social butterfly that can talk their way out of any situation.
"Wowsers, that'll make an awesome photo!"
Lastly is Max, the youngest, she's the doe-eyed pup who's just trying to get by and get good photos. She's in high school just like any other teenager but at the age of 18, she already shows enough promise for her to earn a scholarship at Blackwell Academy. Naturally, her course is photography, what else? Personally she thinks she doesn't have anything that special when compared to her high achiever sisters but she doesn't let that discourage her. She's still young so maybe she just still hasn't discovered what her specialty is yet.
Although if there is anything that comes close then maybe it's her penchant for candid shots. Max can take the most ordinary selfies and candid shots of people and bring out a quality that's normally unseen by any other photographer including her sisters. Two out of three vote that Max gets the best shots out of them and it would have been a consensus if she voted for herself. She's not good with confrontations so she doesn't fight but make no mistake, there are people willing to kill for her. She has two sisters, two! Do not piss her off and double do not mess with her. She's innocent as fuck and with her sisters, she will unknowingly destroy your life. The other two sisters see her as the pure cinnamon roll that's too good for this world.
It can get a little confusing when all three of their names are variations of Max but they've worked out a nickname system for themselves.
"Xim! Your shirt's inside out again." Maxine pointed out with a disapproving frown.
"I think it's kind of cool how you don't give a fuck." Max comments from the sofa chair across them.
"See? Max gets me." Maximus smirks while lazily sprawled on the couch.
"Don't encourage her." Maxine lightly chides the youngest and then turns to the eldest. "And you, try to be more presentable."
"What's the point? It's just us at home and it's not like you judge or I care. Mostly the latter." Maximus simply shrugs off the reprimand.
"The point is that you should set a good example." Maxine admonishes sternly and then sighs. "It's bad enough that Max has already picked up on your swearing."
"Hey, I kinda like how... liberating it feels to not hold back." Max adds in her own thoughts.
"You heard the kid." Maximus seconds the motion with her thumb up in Max's direction. She then smiles smugly at Maxine who's scowling. "She's old enough and besides, it was going to happen anyways."
"It's alright, Xine. I promise I won't pick up Xim's worst habits." Max says tentatively and even crosses over her heart for good measure.
"Don't promise anything you can't keep." Maximus quickly quips.
"Oh, hush you!" And Maxine is quick to shoot her down. "Don't corrupt our baby sister any more than you already have, Xixim."
"The darkness is a free choice." Maximus corrects her and then adds on, "It's more fun on the dark side and everyone knows that for a fact. Plus people fear you. Afraid people means less social interaction, something your extrovert species won't understand, Xinnie."
"That is a pretty convincing sales pitch." Max nods all too enthusiastically.
"Darkness is overrated nowadays." Maxine huffs with crossed arms and refuses to be beaten so easily. "Why would you want to scare people away when they could be worshipping you? And with just a few words, they'd be at your beck and call."
"And another convincing sales pitch." Max nods again at the rebuttal. This is some high level argument ongoing and this is intellectual entertainment at its finest.
"See, that's the deal breaker right there. Talking. Words." Maximus airily retorts. She doesn't even hold back as she openly mocks her own sister, "You're the only person in this room who enjoys that, Xine." She pauses just so she could turn up the smugness in her smile. "Face it, I'm Max's favorite because I get her."
Maxine's eyebrows twitch slightly at the sudden redirection. Oh, it's on. "Puh-lease, don't even get me started." She casually flips her luxurious hair and scoffs, "Who's the one here who actually goes with her and has never missed an event? Well you're right about me enjoying talking and that's because I talk to her more than you do." She gestures with her hand with the sassiest flair the house has ever seen. "Move over, we've bonded more."
The two continue to bicker back and forth while the youngest watches silently, seemingly forgotten. Max isn't sure at what point did this argument became about which sister is her favorite but she's sure that she has to end it before it blood spills. Literally. She does not want a rerun of the bloodbath of 2010. As amazing as it is to see her two sisters duke it out with their incredible wits, it's also deadly as fuck. Bloodstains are a pain in the ass to remove from the carpet.
So before it escalates from just bruised egos, Max plays it cool as the peacemaker. Again. It's kind of ironic how her two older sisters act childish sometimes and she, the youngest, has to be the mature one.
"Well I think you're both awesome!" Max cuts in between them like a samurai or so she imagines herself as one. She turns to the couch where Maximus is still lounging on. "Xim has this cool lone wolf vibe. She can get things done on her own and power through anything." She looks at the doorway where Maxine is fashionably leaning on. "Xine has this amazing social butterfly gait. She can get people together and even create collaborative projects." And then she addresses them both, "You two are awesome at what you do respectively. There's no use comparing each other when what you do is unique. It's not a competition. You're both my favorite sisters in the whole world."
The room falls silent after Max's impromptu speech. Her two sisters are still staring at her and she's starting to get self-conscious with every second passing. Until finally they move again but instead of talking, they're clapping. It's a slow clap that sounds full of approval and admiration. It makes Max blush with embarrassment.
Maximus wears a toothy smile. "Safe answer. Smart choice, kid."
"Good call. Excellent show of conflict resolution skills!" Maxine beams brightly.
"T-Thanks...!" Max ducks her head shyly and they only clap harder. She has the faintest suspicion that they're teasing her and she too can play this game. "But if I had to pick a favorite..." She lets the sentence hang in the air long enough for her two sisters to latch onto it. Hook, line and sinker. She smiles impishly when she continues, "Then maybe, just maybe, I'd probably— definitely go with the one who takes out the trash."
Her two sisters smile back and they have this moment where it's almost as if their minds are in synch. Then the moment collapses in on itself when the two burst out into laughter.
"Sorry Max but you're on your own in this." Maximus waved the offer. "It's your turn today and I ain't touching that crap unless you're dying. Even then the only trash I'm taking out are the scumbags who hurt you."
"Yeah, that's not our call to make. The rules are meant to be followed." Maxine states matter-of-factly. "And same. I've already handled last week's filth and it's only fair that you deal with this one. Although I could manipulate someone else to do it, I'd rather not."
Max joins them, giggling. "Eh, it was worth a shot."
Meet the Caulfield sisters, despite their differences, they get along pretty well. If it isn't obvious from the freckles and their passion for photography, they're basically triplets separated only by time.

LOADING INFORMATION ON JINX’S MAIN RAP KIM MINHEE...
IDOL DETAILS
STAGENAME: Rina CURRENT AGE: 27 DEBUT AGE: 18 TRAINEE SINCE AGE: 15 COMPANY: Midas SECONDARY SKILL: Variety
IDOL PROFILE
NICKNAME(S): lady boss – which was given to her after her fancam went viral and she started receiving attention for her sexy persona INSPIRATION: while growing up, one of the things that brought her comfort and peace of mind was music and she learnt to love those moments and appreciate it in a very personal level. she felt she could stop thinking and just enjoy that moment on her own and that was something she took a lot joy in. when she started thinking about becoming an idol though, she learnt she could share those experiences and feelings with other people and that she didn’t have to remain alone. as for great inspirations, she looks up immensely to older groups like ses and diamant and great female soloists too, like lee hyori. SPECIAL TALENTS:
she’s a math calculator, meaning she can solve simple math problems and give back the results almost immediately;
can impersonate some characters from movies she has watched and even some variety people.
NOTABLE FACTS:
she has a younger brother who’s also an idol. they are fondly known by fans as the ‘infamous kim siblings’;
she became popular after a fancam going viral during ‘up & down’ promotions;
she’s known for being quite friendly and a good listener, someone who befriends easily;
she failed in her audition to msg. they were her first pick, but she wasn’t what they were looking for at that moment;
had to have knee surgery in 2015 during ‘I don’t need a man’ promotions. 
IDOL GOALS
SHORT-TERM GOALS:
now that she’s getting more attention and becoming a more present figure in variety shows, she wants to establish her presence as someone good at it, not wanting to give off the impression she’s only appearing on tv because she became momentously popular. she’s also preparing for her debut as a solo artist, now that she has the public to do it, she wants to spread her name as much as she still can.
LONG-TERM GOALS:
once they disband, minhee wants to keep on going with her solo career in music as well as variety. although there aren’t many female examples of this in the business, she does expect to be able to change that and become rather successful in her attempt. her aim is to become someone like lee hyori who feels free to speak her mind and to open her house to complete strangers.
IDOL IMAGE
rina has so much potential and there’s so much to explore but she’s not what people look for when they hear the word ‘idol’. that cursed word brings in people the expectation of seeing someone falling into their perspectives of beauty. the pretty and tempting but at the same time innocent eyes, the slim body with beautiful legs. when she debuts, she knows she doesn’t fall into many of those categories. being talented wasn’t the first thing to pop in the minds of the public, the first thing they notice isn’t the singing or the dancing; what they see first is the package, the image, and for her, the packing given wasn’t one that would get her much attention.
in the beginning she’s overlooked. ‘she’s a good rapper’, they say, ‘for a female idol, she’s doing a decent job’, they claim. it’s like she has nothing else to offer, so she’s stuck in a little limbo where she’s popular because she’s jinx but being in jinx also outshines her own figure. she’s not a present person anywhere, not in tv shows, not in radio programs, she’s not casted in dramas and she’s not someone fit to go solo with her lack of popularity but then her lucky strike happens.
her fancam goes viral and suddenly all eyes are on her. how could they not have seen her spark before is a mystery. she’s seen with different eyes; the sex appeal, the way she’s just as charismatic as the others, how she interacts with the public, how her smile reaches her eyes, how she pays attention to every single fan and lend them an ear. all of those little things that she has been using for years and now the public are paying attention, and they liked it. they like her.
she starts attending more variety shows, starts showing herself off more. with a boost of confidence, rina becomes someone people are actually interested in seeing. she starts getting popular for her friendly looks versus on-stage persona. despite looking intimidating, she’s someone surprisingly easy to talk to and have a good laugh with. she’s witty and she’s smart and she knows which buttons she can push and how far she can go because she has been in the business for that long, she knows how it runs.
while rina is all certain about her words and actions, minhee is less sure about many things and it’s almost palpable the difference. minhee should be dealing with this better, she grew up being competitive, working her way to become the best but sometimes she gets tired and confused. how far she had to go to separate minhee from rina. until what point is she sure of the things she’s saying, of how she acts. how much of this egocentric persona did she let in her own personality? she’s scared, she was always scared, but as years go by and her work starts becoming more part of herself, she wonders until when she can manage until she loses herself completely.
IDOL HISTORY
busan was nice and neat, her life wasn’t complicated, it wasn’t chaotic. they lived their lives as they were supposed to. her mother and father were both partners in their law office, they had two beautiful children who did well at school and never gave them much of a headache. they weren’t interested in gossip or trends as long as their reputation as reliable remained untouched. they kept the same pattern for years. no scandals to stain the family’s name, no unexpected situations to throw them off the tracks. it was all peaceful. too easy. too boring.
as kids, they were angels. there wasn’t much they could do besides playing and studying and following their parents like ducklings. minhee wasn’t one to mind the quiet and stillness of everything. she was older, she learnt to be more contained, to look after her brother, to look after their apartment if her parents were away. her brother was another story. the youngest of the house, the first son, the messiest and the loudest, the one who made their mother laugh and who was taken to go fishing with their father.
as they grew up and their interests started diverging from their shared games and mutual bickering, the house wasn’t so peaceful anymore. two preteens growing up under the same roof, they were just waiting for the hurricane to come. they fought way too much, said words they shouldn’t too often, there was always a disagreement. she always loved music classes, her parents could afford that monthly expense and minhee took them with the utmost pleasure, her brother in the other hand didn’t show any interest for anything she did, almost stubbornly so, just to be contrary of her. even at school they pretended not to be related, which was stupid because everyone knew the kim siblings.
she was fifteen when she told her parents she wanted to become a singer and they were against the idea as strongly as they could. she was too young to follow something so foolish, that she shouldn’t think that because she had a couple of dancing and singing classes that she was good enough to become a professional and lastly, if she did become an idol, who’d take the family name seriously. despite the promises that she’d hit big no matter what and that she wouldn’t bring shame to them, they were unbendable. at least, until their favorite spoke up, telling them he’d do the same and take care of minhee while they were at it.
she was boiling with fury still when she auditioned, first to msg and then midas media. both are great names, both have their respective reputations and she’s excited and anxious, still angry, but she forgets that for a second when she performs. she never goes past the first stages for msg but midas keeps her on their grip. she keeps performing and keeps going ahead, until she’s finally accepted. the young girl who may not have entered because of her looks but because she knew the basics and something else. in contrast to her, there was her prodigy brother, with his perfect styled hair and killer smile that put him in without breaking a sweat.
that became her fuel. become better and work harder to surpass him even though she felt she was the only one competing. she’s so young and so naïve. she wants to impress others but she also wants to impress herself, push herself to her own limits, do what she’s told. do singing classes and rapping classes, go on diets and present dance performances, she tries it all, she wants to be perfect and wants to be the best but she’s not competing against others, she’s competing against a shadow.
three years pass and all she worked for starts to pay off.
it’s not fair to say she’s fulfilled. even now, she’s not certain if the nights she spent sleepless were worth it, if the meals she skipped gave her any positive result. even when she had a serious injury on her knee and had to go under surgery, she felt she was lacking yet the incident happened because she was overworking herself to, literally, the breaking point. she spent months not being capable of practicing, and even then, against the doctor’s orders, she went back on stage, too scared of what could come if she remained behind. she knows that after her fancam went viral, people started linking her to the image of sexy goddess, that she’s seen more often in tv shows as much as she’s allowed for a female artist.
she’s more scared than she lets out. since jinx debut she has been overlooked, not paid much attention to, even though she was, as many said, doing a decent job as a female rapper. but she wasn’t enough. she did think that. not being enough, not being good enough, debuting for the simple reason of being available. in the back of her mind, she reasoned with herself, saying it was a ridiculous statement, that midas wouldn’t be a fool to do as such and if she managed to debut, it was on her own merit, it meant she was worth of it. but then, there wasn’t much they could do or wanted to do with her after her flop in popularity made itself clear.
she was stagnant. for a long while she did the bare minimum and it showed when she went back on the stage. she was the same as the previous comeback, and then again and again until it was all but an endless cycle. it wasn’t until 2015 that she started working at full force again, since there was barely anything of her anywhere, she didn’t want to give the public the wrong reasons to speak her name. working too hard has good and bad results and that saying was proven right when ‘I don’t need a man’preparations started. she paid no mind to the discomfort at first but it wasn’t long after that when problems started showing and there was nothing else they could do besides resorting to surgery. it happened just after they finished the shootings for the MV and a couple of weeks before they started promoting, but recovery is not something that happens in a blink of eye, and for pretty much all stages of ‘I don’t need a man’, she was absent. the dread of going back to stake one was back, she felt like she had done all of this for nothing, her injury was for nothing because despite getting better and perfecting herself, there was no way she was going to show that off. that’s when her insomnia problems started to appear and the music that used to be something she used as an escape, started hunting her down.
going back to work, even though she was supposed to be resting didn’t bring any new lights or high praises, she was doing her job and things went back to normal quickly. it wasn’t until the fancam went viral that things started to work out for her and lead her somewhere that wasn’t the limbo she lived in during those six years since debut. the sudden attention came as a shock to her. suddenly she was apprehensive of doing something that wouldn’t be good to neither her’s or jinx’s reputation, of saying something wrong or looking too eager. things turned out quite alright in the end, if she disregarded the number of antis that appeared after the sudden rush of popularity.
even now things are not as bad as it used to be but still, there are issues to bother her during the night. in all those eight years since jinx debuted, she’s more unsure than ever of where their careers will take them, if she’ll have a spot if they ever came to an end or if they’ll remain relevant. most importantly, the question is if she’s finally comfortable enough to admit that her little rivalry with her brother despite helping her craft her own start of career, was childish.

September 4, 2017
From the Century Link Center in Omaha, NE
Your hosts are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Booker T
We get a video package of last week’s contract signing between John Cena and Roman Reigns for their match at No Mercy.
John Cena vs. Jason Jordan
We get some highlights from 2002 where John Cena was given a match against Kurt Angle on Smackdown as Cole notes how this is a similar situation. Jordan uses his amateur background to get the advantage in the early part of the match. Cena fights back then works a chinlock for a bit then sends Jordan into the corner as we go to break. The action returns with Jordan fighting back. He hits a belly-to-belly suplex but misses a charge as Cena hits a pair of shoulder tackles. Jordan comes back with a dropkick that gets two as both men are down. They get up and slug it out until Cena takes Jordan over with a sunset flip. Cena follows a powerbomb with the Five Knuckle Suffle then tries for the AA but Jordan escapes and takes Cena down. Cena switches to the STF but Jordan is able to reverse and put on a crossface. Cena powers up but Jordan gets off of his shoulders and hits rolling Northern Lights suplexes that almost put Cena away. Jordan rams Cena in the corner then lowers his straps for the pop-up neckbreaker but Cena rolls on top then catches Jordan in the AA for the win (11:43) ***. After the match, Reigns comes out to a chorus of boos then the show cuts to commercial.
Thoughts: Started off extremely slow and the crowd did not care but it got better in the second half. Jordan is still not getting over and I do not see how coming up short against stars is going to get people to care but this was about Cena getting a win in a competitive match heading into No Mercy against Reigns.
Back from break, Reigns is in the ring with Cena and asks him why it took a sixteen-time champ over twenty minutes to beat a rookie. Well, that is a bit exaggerated. Reigns says if Cena is who he says he is then he would have beaten Jordan out of the gate as the crowd gives him the “what” treatment. Reigns then says Cena proved him right last week and that he is a “lying, fake-ass little bitch.” Cena calls Reigns “Debbie Downer” and that he is disgusted by his face. Cena get cheers in mocking Reigns for not being very smart then saying he will get the answers to all of his questions at No Mercy after some back-and-forth. Cena says at No Mercy, Reigns will either get beat by a guy who has lost a step or by a guy who has been stringing him along. Cena then says Reigns is a “conceited, little golden boy” who has been handed everything, unlike Jordan, Chad Gable, and even the Miz. Cena tells Reigns he does not respect him and that Reigns is living a lie as no one agrees this is his yard or that he is “the guy.” Cena then asks Reigns if there is any room in his brain to see what’s going on or does he have to beat some common sense into him. Reigns then tells Cena to do it and smirks as the crowd does the “yes chant.” Reigns then asks the crowd if they want to see Cena beat his ass as they cheer while Reigns tells Cena this is his moment. Cena smiles then Reigns says he is all talk and that is why he does not respect him before he tosses the mic down and leaves with Cena still smiling in the ring.
Much like last week, Cena got the best of Reigns on the mic. Even having Reigns dare Cena to fight him but get laughed off did not do a whole lot for the Big Dog. Anyway, Cena needs to get his comeuppance at some point and it will happen, likely at No Mercy. 
Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. Cesaro & Sheamus 
Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose are on commentary. Slater rolls up a distracted Cesaro for a two count but he immediately knocked down. Rollins & Ambrose talk about their match against Cesaro & Sheamus at No Mercy while Slater is getting beat down in the corner. Slater takes Cesaro outside with a hip toss then takes him down with a leg lariat that was not even close before tagging out. Rhyno runs wild and hits a TKO as Cesaro makes the save. The match breaks down then Sheamus hits Rhyno with the Brogue Kick for the win (2:17) 1/4*.
Thoughts: The action was not very good here but the main goal was to hype up the RAW Tag Team Championship match at No Mercy. And the Slater & Rhyno team has just about reached its expiration date, even in their current position on the card.
Booker T then thanks the WWE Universe for all of the help they’ve given to the city of Houston, TX.
Renee Young is backstage with the Hardy Boyz. Matt tells us its a “wonderful” evening for a new Intercontinental Champion as Jeff talks about this being a “rebirth” and how they live for the moment. Jeff then cuts a fiery promo as Matt tells the Miztourage will all go down in a twist of fate if they decide to interfere.
Intercontinental Title Match: Jeff Hardy w/ Matt Hardy vs. Miz (c) w/ Maryse & The Miztourage
Miz begs for mercy after Jeff took control early. Jeff ends up outside but avoids the Miztourage and gets back inside. He clotheslines Miz over the top rope but is unable to attempt a dive as Miz backs away then we head to break. The match returns with Jeff hitting Miz with a jawbreaker as both men are down. The crowd gets behind Jeff as he knocks Miz down. Gordbuster gets two then he hits the Whisper in the Wind for another nearfall. Jeff heads back up top but Bo distracts the ref then Axel knocks Jeff off of the top rope. Matt backs off the Miztourage then the ref orders them to the back. Jeff manages a few nearfalls but Miz blocks a leg drop and gets a nearfall with a DDT. Jeff comes back with a rollup for two then avoids a charge in the corner. Miz shoves Jeff away then hits a running knee strike for two. Miz hits the It Kicks but misses the last attempt as Jeff boots him down. Jeff hits a slingshot kick for two but Miz takes him off of the apron and rolls him back inside and locks on the figure four. Jeff manages to reach the ropes then comes back with a stunner for two as Miz was able to grab the ropes. Miz rolls outside but gets taken down with a baseball slide. Jeff hits Poetry in Motion off of the steps then heads back inside for the Swanton but Maryse grabbed Miz’s hand as Miz was somehow able to roll out of the way. Miz pulls himself up in the corner and after a reversal sequence hits the Skull Crushing Finale for the win (13:04) **1/4.
Thoughts: I did not find the finish very good at all to be honest and these two were on different pages at the beginning. Both guys threw some awful punches here too. However, there was some heat and the crowd was into Jeff but I do not really get what the company is doing with the Hardy Boyz at the moment. All of the “Broken” character teases are fine if they actually lead to something. As of now, a potential feud against The Miztourage is not the most exciting thing for the two.
We get a replay from last week where Alexa Bliss beat Sasha Banks to reclaim the RAW Women’s Championship then had her “friend” Nia Jax turn on her at the end. Bliss will defend the title at No Mercy against Sasha Banks.
Backstage, Nia Jax interrupts Kurt Angle and wants to know why the “Beyonce wannabe” in Sasha Banks gets a another title shot. Nia said she felt the whole Women’s Division tremble when she held up the title. However, Emma interrupts and talks about having a hashtag about getting a chance at the Women’s Title as Nia proposes a “Put Emma in the Hospital” hashtag and they bicker until Angle proposes they team up tonight to face off against Alexa & Sasha and if they win, they are added to the No Mercy title match, making it a Fatal Four Way. Nia’s acting was wooden and she dragged down this segment, which also featured some truly wretched dialogue.
A video package on the Braun Strowman vs. Big Show match from the 4/17 episode of RAW where the ring collapsed after a superplex. Cole tells us tonight the ring has been reinforced to prepare for their cage match.
Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, and Noam Dar are in the ring. We see a clip from “205 Live” last week where they lost to the team of Enzo Amore, Cedric Alexander, and Gran Metalik after Enzo cheated to win. They come out now as Enzo tells us “if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying” to justify how he won last week then tells us that “controversy creates cash” and while everyone works harder here on 205 Live, he works smarter. Enzo’s time on the mic really lasted for a long time here and apparently his deal is showing the Cruiserweight Division to work smarter instead of harder by taking shortcuts.
Tony Nese & Drew Gulak & Noam Dar vs. Enzo Amore & Cedric Alexander & Gran Metalik
This started during the break. Cedric and Nese trade off working the arm then Cedric takes Nese out with a headscissors then a dropkick after a fast-paced reversal sequence. Enzo tags himself in and trips Nese before walking on him and mocking his bicep flex. Nese drops Enzo on the top turnbuckle with a back suplex then tags Gulak, who stretches Enzo out on the mat. Enzo gets stretched out by everyone as the opposing team is doing an efficient job at cutting off the ring. Enzo tries to fight out of the corner then kicks Dar in the face while getting pulled outside. Enzo then makes the tag to Cedric, who runs wild on Gulak. Nese makes the save but Metalik hits a missile dropkick then the match breaks down with Cedric & Metalik hit stereo tope con hilos and Enzo, who tagged himself in, pokes Gulak in the eye then hits Eat Defeat for the win (5:06) *1/2.
Thoughts: A completely forgettable match that saw Enzo cheat to win once again. I guess they are booking Enzo on 205 Live based on how he is in real life but as a babyface.
Sasha is backstage getting ready when Alexa interrupts. Alexa cannot believe that Nia & Emma are trying to take away their spotlight as Sasha tells Alexa that those two in the title match decreases her odds. Sasha says she does not want those two in the match either then gets in Alexa’s face and screams she will make her tap out at No Mercy.
Finn Balor heads out to the ring. He talks about the NXT Championship and Universal Championship looking good around on his waist. He then said the Intercontinental Championship also would have looked good but Bray Wyatt robbed him of that opportunity last week in the Battle Royal. Balor tells Wyatt he’ll be ready the next time he comes out and is not afraid of his demons because he becomes one himself. Bray interrupts and is shown on the screen and talks about how exciting it was after his first kill when he went hunting but after that became bored and put down the weapon and used his bare hands. He then said that Finn was not victorious at SummerSlam, The Demon was, and that Finn should put down his bow-and-arrow in the Demon and face him in order to define his legacy.
Bray manages to drag down every segment and feud he is in at this point. To be honest I had to rewind Bray’s promo because when I first hear him speak I immediately tune out. Does this company realize how ineffective Bray is presented at the moment? Balor is still over but this feud is not doing him any favors and hopefully it ends at No Mercy. 
Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax & Emma
This match started during the break. Nia gets Sasha off of her back but Sasha fights back. Nia blocks an arm drag then hits a slam but Emma tags herself in and covers for two. Emma beats on Sasha in the corner then gets a two count with a basement dropkick. Sasha floats over and rolls up Emma for two and they trade pin attempts after that. Emma works a full-nelson but Sasha escapes and hits a suplex before tagging out. Alexa kicks Emma in the corner but gets booted in the face. Alexa prevents Emma from tagging out then tags Sasha, who beats Emma down in the corner. Meteora gets two then Sasha stretches Emma out for a bit. Alexa & Sasha cut off the ring for a bit then Emma rolls away from a Twisted Bliss attempt and hits a jawbreaker before tagging out. Alexa slaps Nia and tries to run away but gets pulled into a clothesline. Nia then follows with an avalanche before running wild. Alexa hits another slap but gets caught in a Samoan Drop. Nia covers but Sasha makes the save. Alexa fights back and tags out as Sasha comes off the top and gets caught. Sasha tries a sunset flip but Nia blocks that but Sasha avoids a sitdown splash. Sasha hits a running knee strike then tries for the Banks Statement but that fails then Nia hits a leg drop but as that happened, Emma made a blind tag and covered for the win (8:57) **. After the match, Emma tries to celebrate but Nia pulls her into a Samoan Drop.
Thoughts: The crowd did not know who to cheer for here and we get yet another multi-person match. Sasha gets pinned clean in the middle of the ring again as this match did more to put over Nia than anyone else.
Renee is backstage with Braun Strowman. He is pissed that Angle made him face Big Show inside of a steel cage three weeks before his Universal Title match against Brock Lesnar. Strowman then reminds us what happened the last time they faced off and how the ring has been reinforced. He then talks about sending a message tonight to Brock Lesnar, who does not have to face anyone in a steel cage before No Mercy.
Rollins & Ambrose walk past Elias backstage as he was playing the guitar.
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson are in the ring awaiting to face Rollins & Cesaro. However, Sheamus & Cesaro are in the ring trying to take their place but Gallows & Anderson tell them to leave.
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins
Cesaro & Sheamus are watching from ringside. Rollins stomps on Anderson in the corner to start. The champs stay in control until Anderson is able to tag out. Gallows beats on Ambrose briefly but the champs fight back and clear the ring then fly out with pescados as we head to break. We return with Gallows working a chinlock on Ambrose. Anderson tags and gets two after a pair of knee drops then works the arm. Gallows tags back in and hits an avalanche after knocking Rollins off of the apron. Rollins comes back to make the save on a pin attempt then Anderson sets up Ambrose for a superplex but that gets blocked. Gallows cuts off Ambrose, who fights off a chokeslam attempt and hits a dropkick then a slingshot clothesline in a messy sequence before tagging out. Rollins runs wild and sets up Anderson for a superplex then knocks Gallows down. Ambrose hits a tope on Gallows then Cesaro tries to interfere while Sheamus distracts the ref but accidentally hits Anderson, who gets rolled up by Rollins (11:49) **1/4. After the match, Anderson & Gallows knock Sheamus & Cesaro out of the ring then they come back in and start brawling as Sheamus & Cesaro clear the ring.
Thoughts: A generic tag match that once again heated up the Tag Team Championship feud. Having Sheamus & Cesaro accidentally cost Gallows & Anderson the match might lead to a feud or at least between them down the line. The post-match stuff could lead to something with Gallows & Anderson or just end up as another segment presenting them as a lesser team.
Video package on Connor’s Cure is shown next. It really was a great video that saw kids make wrestling entrances and costumes with Stephanie McMahon doing voiceovers . It got a standing ovation from the crowd when it ended.
Enzo is with Gran Metalik and Cedric Alexander backstage. He is taking them both out on the town but Neville omes in clapping to interrupt. Neville says he is here to deliver a message that the three of them are part of a Fatal Five Way elimination match tomorrow night on “205 Live” to  determine who will face him for the Cruiserweight Championship at No Mercy. A completely unoriginal way to determine the #1 contender. It seems like every contender for the Cruiserweight Championship is determined this way.
Charly Caruso is backstage with John Cone, the referee of the last Strowman vs. Show match and who flew out of the ring when it collapsed after a superplex. Cone said the ring is “double reinforced” but even still has no idea what to expect and will stay out of the way.
Renee is now with Big Show. She asks him about facing Strowman tonight as he talks about being in steel cages before and is pissed over Strowman thinking he will use him as a message to Lesnar while saying he’s the largest athlete in the world. He showed a lot of fire but it went on for too long, likely because they were killing time to set up the cage.
Tomorrow night, Enzo vs. Cedrick vs. Metalik vs. Nese vs. The Brian Kendrick will face off in the Fatal Five Way elimination match to determine the #1 contender to the Cruiserweight Championship.
Steel Cage Match: Big Show vs. Braun Strowman
Strowman traps Show between the ropes and the cage and hits a few running clotheslines until running into a right hand. Strowman is out on the mat then we head to commercial. The match returns with both men out on the mat. Show is up first and runs Strowman into the cage a few times then tries to climb the cage. Strowman climbs up too and they slug it out until Show gets crotched. Show is in pain but returns the favor then starts climbing up to the top rope. Strowman runs into a pair of kicks then the crowd goes nuts as Show hits a top rope elbow drop. The crowd chants “This is Awesome” as Strowman kicks as Show slowly crawls towards the cage door. Strowman gets up and shuts the door against Show’s head. Strowman stands over Show now and gets the door whacked off of his head too then the two collide with a shoulder tackle and crash to the mat. Show is up first and signals for the chokeslam but Strowman turns that into a DDT for a two count. They are now trading strikes Show catches him with a chokeslam for a nearfall. Strowman gets shoved into the cage after a reversal sequence then Show tries to climb the cage but Strowman yanks him down. They end up on the top rope where Strowman hits a superplex as the reinforced ring was able to brace the impact. Strowman then picks up Show and hits a powerslam for the win (16:55) ***1/2. After the match, Strowman takes the mic and asks to see what he has done to Show and now think what he will do to Lesnar at No Mercy. Strowman then says Lesnar’s future is like what happened to Big Show while his future is becoming the Universal Champion. Strowman then picks up Show and slams him through the cage before leaving.
Thoughts: Good stuff here with two giants tossing each other around. Show looked very good in this match too and still has something to offer the company. Strowman winning was the right call as he is facing Lesnar for the Universal Title and ending the night by having Show get tossed through the cage was the big moment they were teasing throughout the show.
Final Thoughts: We had a good main event and the top of the No Mercy card is looking really good. However, the Cruiserweight and Women’s Division continues to struggle and this Bray/Balor feud has been awful. Plus, they continue to present their babyface talents in a baffling manner. Being a holiday show, I thought it was fine overall as they continue on the road to No Mercy.
