oh, also like for a one-liner here too! please say who you'd like it from.

"what's on-theme about hoult?" uh, he looks cute in an england shirt?

[themlions]

oh btw, added alfie hoult to the blog, removed liz bc i actually am no thoughts head empty about her (tragedy)

[themlions]

anyway! incoming! gay country musician alfie hoult, part of the uk-us duo birdie & hoult, which is essentially him, a humble yorkshireman, and his best friend, country music royalty, birdie prince. i just think the novelty of an english/american country band would not be lost on anyone at r.ichmond & they're frequently playing at charity events around the club. i do think.

@tarttmum / ursula.

ㅤ“ Oh, I was waiting for you to get back before I showed you this, actually - ” Nas sits up a little better in his seat, all happy smiles as he pulls a small envelope from his rucksack. This might be better suited to the recording room than a half-busy café, but this is cute. So Nasim figures Ursula might want to look at this sooner rather than later. “ We've been getting the proper snail mail fanmail while you've been gone too. ” It's a cute little letter, with some very adorable artwork done by one of their fans' kids - hopefully a kid who's unaware of their podcast name - of Ursula in her goalie kit.

[themlions]

does your character listen to nasim and ursula's podcast, i must know

[themlions]

@stormlit asked: “you’re not always right. most of the time you’re an arse.”

ㅤ“ Alright. ” Tom raises his hands as if to say, yeah, okay, I surrender. Penny's mates are something else. She's been happy enough to see him now he's come down London, but her mates are acting like he's spat in their faces or something. It's mad, honestly, but he didn't come here to start problems with all his sister's friends. Even if Ruby seems happy to do so herself. “ Do you lot just not like Mancunians down here or summat, like? Not exactly t' friendliest of welcomes. ”

@shegunner.

ㅤ“ You must be Tanya, then. ” Tom has seen her face before, of course. Unlike his granddad, he is actually aware of the women's game - and Penny has posted about her enough on social media that Tom doesn't have to guess at who the infamous Tanya Parker could be. And he got over his surprise that they'd ever be mates a while ago. All on track for a good first impression, he hopes. “ Good to meet you finally. Penny's told me loads - never shuts up about you. ”

[themlions]

thinking about how tom is like "penny is 25 and has loads of time to get over anything i could ever say to her" and the fact that he's right :(

[themlions]

@tartt9.

ㅤ“ Jamie. ” The greeting is accompanied by a jerk of the chin, nothing more. This is England, this is - not City. Things are different here and, just as he treats all the shit he says to Penny around their granddad, all that other stuff's forgotten. For him, at least. “ Finally made it with t' big dogs, eh? ”
