Hidden feeling - Mason Mount
Who: Mason Mount Prompt: "How long did you think you could hide that?" Notes with request: I’d love for it to be at the beach during sunset, on holiday with friends and mason asks y/n how long did she thought she could hide her feelings from him. Requested by: anonymous Warnings: none
Tumblr media
This holiday was the most amazing one you'd ever been on. With a group of friends you had chartered a yacht for a week and sailed around the Caribbean. You were actually mostly a friend of Declan's, and that was how you found your way into this group, although you knew all the others as well from previous parties and gatherings. Through Declan you knew Mason, too. You had always fancied him somewhat, but this holiday, where you spent entire days close to him, made you realize that you were in fact head over heels for him. You couldn't keep your eyes off his smile, and the sound of his laugh was music to your ears. Whenever he accidentally brushed a hand against your skin, it sent butterflies to your stomach and made you feel like you could float off of the ground.
But you didn't say anything to him about it. You were just a normal girl, and he was a famous professional footballer. Why the hell would he be into you? So, out of fear of getting turned down or laughed at, you kept your feelings to yourself. ---- Today, after a wonderful dinner at a quiet beach, Mason approached you. As you sat at the waterline by yourself, watching the beautiful sunset, he sat himself down next to you. "How long did you think you could hide that?" He spoke out of the blue. "Wh-- what?" You were taken aback by his question. Your mind immediately wandered to the one big secret you had at the moment, and that was your crush on Mason. "I've seen the way you look at me," Mason smirked. The confidence dripping from every pore was actually enviable. "I..." You hesitated. If ever there was a perfect moment to come clean about this, it was now. And, frankly, Mason did not seem to shy away from the idea of you being in love with him. "I might have a bit of a crush on you." You finally blurted out. "It's stupid..." "No, it's not," Mason interrupted you, "because... so do I." You blinked slightly stupidly at him. "You have a crush on you, too?" Mason laughed out loud. "No, silly! I love you!" Now it was Mason's turn to fall silent. He hadn't exactly meant to express his feelings so explicitly, but he had to admit that it felt good anyway. "I've seen you at Dec's before," he started, "and you've always caught my attention. This holiday, this week together, it made me realise my true feelings for you." You blushed fiery red. "For me, too." "That settles it, then," he smirked. The confidence was immediately visible again in Mason's entire posture. "So... you want to give it a try?" You asked shyly. Mason smiled, already leaning into you. "Absolutely." And under the beautiful Caribbean sunset, he kissed you. A first kiss of many more to come.

"Friend or foe!" Will yelled with his sword outstretched, his knuckles turning white from the grip on the hilt. "I command you to speak now!" The male ordered, his back straightened as the pirate did his best to come across as intimidating as possible. The second that Will caught word of the rival ship taking innocent hostages from Port Royal, he just couldn't sit back and do nothing. Despite his new life on the sea, the town was still held dear to the blacksmith. Some would say his one man rescue mission was brave. Most would say it was nothing more than stupidity.

EL DORADO
Age: UTP 
Gender: UTP
Years on Panopticon: newly arrived
FC: Latine/Caribbean suggested
A child of immigrant parents, you grew up embedded in hustle culture long before it became trendy. Gigs, side-hustles, multiple jobs - these were second nature to you. Work hard, fulfill the dream. Sleep when you were dead. Affirmations that convinced you to stay on your vibrant, upward trajectory, dismissing your growing exhaustion as mere weakness. When the world collapsed, that still didn’t stop you. You kept working; for survival, for your friends and family. But in the blink of an eye, Panopticon takes that away from you. You arrive disconcerted, confused, lost. Can you adapt and overcome, or does your ‘eye on the prize’ mentality finally burn you out?
This skeleton is OPEN
Panopticon RPG: 21+ muns, 25+ muses tumblr rp set on a post-apocalyptic mysterious island.

FC SUGGESTIONS: Jennifer Coolidge, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep
Karen Wheeler has felt like a new woman since her and Ted got divorced. Her heart broke for a time when she realized she was losing Holly and when Mike had his little stint in the loony bin OR when Nancy didn’t get married or have children, but she’s fine now.  Karen spends most of her time happily retired and vacationing around the globe on her boyfriends and girlfriends credit cards. She never misses a birthday, holiday, or special occasion and writes all of her kids letters often. Karen loves being a Mimi, even if it isn’t how she expected it happening.  Though, she was sad to be returning from her Caribbean cruise to Joyce’s funeral. She was always a good friend, even if a little kooky. It seems that though with all of her children in the same town for the first time in a while and her grandson missing, she has reason to stay.

Interview with Harry Kane pt1
By: Kicker
Tumblr media
Your first winter break is behind you, Mr. Kane. How was it?
I had a really good time with my family. We were in the Caribbean, which actually felt a bit strange at first. Normally I played soccer. This time I was able to watch all the Premier League games in peace, which was fun - and to be honest, you get used to it quickly. Especially because it was a good opportunity to spend time with my wife and children, who I've rarely seen in the past four months.
How did your ex-colleagues react? You wanted to send a photo ...
Exactly. I sent them a photo of me lying in the sun in the national team's Whatsapp group. That was just before New Year's Eve, when they were all playing (grins). I then wished them good luck for the games - a few of them wished me a happy New Year in return. Knowing full well that they were in the cold and I was in the beautiful Caribbean sun.
Tumblr media
The first six months at FC Bayern are over. Have you spent your days off reviewing your start in Munich?
I'm very happy, I have to say. It was my first transfer after a really long time at Tottenham, so I didn't know exactly what to expect. I just believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I would be joining a great team, but I didn't know exactly what to expect and how everything would go. But now I'm totally happy with how I've settled in in Munich and with the team. The few months in the hotel were great, everyone there was really great to me - just like the fans, who are incredibly supportive. All in all, I couldn't have imagined a better start
The first half of the season is not yet over for Bayern because of the catch-up game against Union - and you've already scored over 20 goals in the Bundesliga alone.
That's right. If we were also top of the table, it would be ideal. But Bayer Leverkusen have simply made a strong start to the season. Nevertheless, if someone had told me in August that I would score more than 20 goals by Christmas, I would have signed it immediately. After the first few games, I already had the feeling that we - me and the players around me - could achieve even more if we got to know each other better.
We've been together for a while now and I think we're getting better and better, which was evident in November and December. If we carry on like this, doing more training sessions and games, we'll get even stronger. I hope that I continue to develop, but not just myself, but also the players around me, like Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry when he's back. So hopefully we'll all have a strong second half of the season.
Tumblr media
You've mentioned time and again in recent months that despite scoring so many goals, you still don't see yourself at 100 percent. How close are you now?
Towards the end of the year, I think I was close. I was starting to feel really good. Even though I wasn't living in my house yet, I was starting to feel 100 percent comfortable in the environment and on the training pitch. The winter break was a bit of a break now, it will probably take two or three games to get back into the rhythm. Nevertheless, I feel ready and hope to do even better than in the season so far.
Tumblr media
In December, you moved from your hotel in the city center to the former home of Lucas Hernandez. Have you finally arrived in Munich?
I think so. There was so much going on at the beginning, it was all about the job. I got to know a lot of new people and had to get used to the environment. It wasn't so easy when the family wasn't here. Now everyone is here, the children are at school and it's starting to feel like home, which is very important. I'm the type of person who likes to be at home with my family and spend a lot of time with them. It's all new for her too, but I think it's a great experience. My wife has lived in London for most of her life - we're really excited to start this new chapter together
Has your family already settled in?
It's certainly not easy, and you always worry about the children, whether they will enjoy school and make friends. But I'm sure they will. The good thing is that they are at a really good age to learn the language. They are probably faster than me (laughs). I think life is about experiences and for us as a family this is a big step. We're just going to soak it all up and enjoy it.

What about your German?
It's going slowly. It's really difficult for me. I spend two hours a week learning the language. I try to listen when the people around me speak German, to pick up something here and there, but it takes time.
A different culture, different food, a different currency, different traffic, a different league. What do you miss about the island?
That's a really good question ... I'm not someone who misses a lot. I'm someone who moves on and looks forward and not too much into the past. I try to process everything and enjoy being here. Luckily, a lot of people here also speak English, which helps me a lot. That's life: You have a job, a family to look after and so it goes on. As soon as the weather improves, I'm going to find some golf courses and play a few holes while the kids go to school. My life here is getting more and more routine.
What are your favorite spots in Munich?
I haven't been out that much yet, but of course the English Garden is really beautiful. I want to go to the mountains so the kids can ski - and I can watch them. But my favorite spot will probably be a nice golf course (grins).

Your former club, Spurs, missed out on international business for the first time in 13 years. When did you first think about a new challenge abroad? And when did your decision mature?
I focused on helping the team and concentrating on the next game. Of course, we had a difficult season last year, so I didn't want to let that distract me. Normally, you always start weighing up your options at the end of the season. I had one year left on my contract, so I knew there was a possibility of a move and it was just a matter of having a conversation with the Tottenham chairman. If I left, it could be a European club, Bayern was a club that was very present for me. When I took a closer look at the team, I thought it could be a good option for me.
English clubs have also been courting you. Would a move to another Premier League club even be conceivable for you?
You can never say never in football because many things can change. Tottenham was a big part of my life. As a team we had really great moments together, but Bayern Munich was a really good option for me. I wanted to experience something different, I wanted to get to know European football.
