Touchdown!

I have one more, which I received yesterday from Crook.

I SWEAR. EVERY TIME I FEEL MY SCHOOL CASTE AU BRAINROT SETTLES DOWN, IT DOESNT. And the commission from Crook fuels me. It fuels me so much.

I'll write the story behind this eventually, but the over all gist of this is that Reiner's team was having a particularly difficult football match, which they ended up winning. Kristina who wasn't even supposed to go because of prior engagements ended at the game, giving them a cheer. Something that, for this story, is a pretty big deal for her because 1) She doesn't like sports, 2) She doesn't like crowds like this, and 3) She did decline Reiner's and the team's invitation to watch the game. So, seeing her there and hearing her cheer them on or rather threaten them that if they didn't win she'd beat them up gave them a little morale boost. After all, every little support from everyone does help. It's just funny that it was the first time someone actually (and someone who the entire team saw as their nerdy little mascot) threatened them to win.

To commemorate the win, they take pictures, and Reiner decided to take one with her too, because they are "buddies" and he appreciates her going to the game.

PLEASE APPRECIATE REINER'S WIDE SMILE WITH ME.

you can't leave me hanging, what was the hammertooth song?? 8)

“Young Blood” by The Districts

My ears ringing, teeth grind, My patience is waning, I'm growing tired In the scorn of the weather, my fickle heart fades

But I'll graduate gently With stories worth singing, of my own Just need a little romance I just need a little time Just need a little young love, to ease my mind

I've yet to grow patient, I've yet to grow kind Preoccupied, we were, now my smile's breaking But if I learn to relax all my muscles, Float on the waves, see if your heart still remains? It's as wide as the ocean The birds in the sky

It's a long way down from the top to the bottom It's a long way back to a high from where I am

It made me think of how much more dramatic & impactful their storyline in Doomstar would’ve been (to me personally anyway) if they’d had a lot more build-up in their relationship beforehand? But like I could’ve watched a dozen episodes of Marc Maron Magnus gritting his teeth and pretending to like Toki & be invested in him emotionally until.... he realizes he actually likes Toki quite a bit & is maybe too invested (but also those feelings sit in his heart right next to all of his still-very-alive resentment & disappointment too, so it’s weird).

Also I just love how this song ramps up into sort-of angry screaming at the end, very on-brand for him.
