How did everyone get into volleyball?

•Logan wanted to spend more time with his mom. She had been busy and taking care of Janus’ parent so Logan only spent time with the King twins and Janus. So she took all four of them to a volleyball game, since it had a bunch of open seats and was close by. It was during elementary. Logan played middle school volleyball. Janus, Roman, and Remus joined later, but also played in middle school.

•Remy and Antonn saw a game on tv when they had their first cups of coffee. It had kept them awake and Teal had fallen asleep grading with the tv on, and the channel played a game that had happened some time last year. Antonn wanted to play it and Remy tagged along, So they played in middle school at a different one from Logan, Roman, Remus, and Janus. 

•Patton went to a beach volleyball game because Dolly loves it. He didn’t play in middle school because he didn’t realize it was a thing. When he saw boy’s volleyball on the list of sports in high school, he immediately signed up. He didn’t expect a gym though. He thought it was beach volleyball. 

•Virgil got into it as soon as Joan and Talyn adopted him. They used it as a bonding thing. Virgil fell in love with it and played in middle school.

The Sanders Bears team from Sanders High School are open for asks! (And so am I!)

[volleysides]

do the boys have favorite moves?

oh yeah, definitely. soemthing abt some moves are just... *chefs kiss*

•Logan's favorite move is something called a setter dump. It basically when the setter is about to give the ball to someone, but instead pushes it over the net. if done right, they are incredibly hard to pick back up.

•Virgil really likes jousts. that is when the ball is in contact with two players at the same time on both sides of the net. winning jousts are virgils favorite thing to do.

•"Jumping just before the attack line to deliver a toss in mid air makes a valid set from the libero." This is Janus' favorite thing to do.

•Remy loves float serves. they can do then right about 85% of the time, with a jump float serve working about 75%

•Antonn also loves setter dumps. the look on the opposing teams faces is just too good. But she also likes when she surprises someone with a good block

•Patton likes a good spike, whether he's making it or receiving it doesn't matter.

•Roman likes it when his spike hits the blocks hands, but goes through it. it makes him feel powerful.

•Remus likes getting hit in the face with the ball. yes really. it says its cuz it gets it excited.

•Emile loves a successful block. even if its the opposing side, they'll compliment it.

sorry about all the asks, but what does it mean that antonn is the 'strategist?'

(it broke on the answer screen)

Don't apologize! youre like, the only one sending asks rn, so I'm just happy at least someone likes my content.

Antonn is judgey. She observes people and judges them based off of those observations. She's really good at making calls in game or coming up with new moves, signals, or strategies. When she's on the court as the middle block, she almost always knows where the spike will go and how to block it. She's also good at deconstructiin the other team and finding out their signals. She watches recorded games for fun and study, just to know their patterns. Logan is in awe of her powers and says she could be a setter if she wanted.

patton has siblings? 👀

Oh yeah! Its basically how I fit in the rest of Thomas' friends (That I knew the name and pronouns of). Here:

• Patton has many siblings. Order from oldest to youngest is Leo (17), Valerie (17), Patton (16), Quil (15), Adri (15), Terrence (14), Brittney (13) and Jamahl (13).

• Valerie was adopted first, at age 2. As far as she cares, Kat and Dotty have always been her moms. She actually belived until age 9 that they gave birth to her, even though they're white and she's not.

• Patton is adopted next at age 12. He immediately took a liking to them, and he and Valerie are very close. He does want to know his birth parents sometimes, but never asks.

• Quil and Adri are siblings adopted at age 11. They are very protective of each other and took a while to trust everyone. They did know their parents, but have repressed those memories.

• Terrence was adopted at age 10. He was really shy, but Patton helped him open up. He never knew his parents, and doesn't care to.

• Brittney was then adopted at age 9. She warmed up to them quickly and got along with everyone well. Everyone is very protective of her. She worries about why her parents left her sometimes, but she's happy here.

• Jamahl was adopted second to last also at age 9. He was a very happy kid and also got along with everyone well. He and Brittney have always been the closest though. Everyone is protective of him. He asked to meet his birth mom before but she said no, so never again.

• Leo was adopted recently at age 17. Kat and Dolly saved him, and for that, he is forever grateful. he does not want to ever see his birth parents again. He is also very protective of all his younger siblings. He loves all of them very much.
