Imagine football player Ellie with same style as Jules (Bend it like Beckham)
the biggest secret that Big Fanfic doesn't want you to know is that the best way to find fics you'll enjoy is to scroll through the bookmarks of a fic written by an author you already like. people gravitate toward fics written in similar styles, etc that they enjoy. so if someone's read your favorite author, chances are they've read fics that are similar to those written by your favorite author. if i get killed by Big Wattpad we'll know why
i think piracy is EVIL!!!
ANYONE that pirates ANYTHING should go to JAIL!!
NOBODY should EVER take this base64 string (aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci9NQTB4aElZSSNQX3BqNl82SkxkaFdCcl9odllqSm13) and put it into the converter at https://www.base64decode.org/ to get all the major adobe programs for free! that would be a crime!
ANYONE that pirates adobes 500 dollar programs should be ASHAMED!
that would just be evil!
So: A League of Their Own was a sports related film with a lot of queer subtext, turned into a modern television show where there was room for fully developed queer characters and relationships, while respecting the spirit of the original
& I just think if weāre gonna roll with this concept, then Bend it Like Beckham should be next
funny to think about tashiās scene with patrick behind the hotel or artās scene with him in the sauna because they are both so mad at him even tho it doesnāt make any sense like theyāre the ones that shut him out over an injury that couldve happened under any circumstances art stole his girlfriend and tashi married his best friend and theyāre angry with him and itās literally because they want to fuck him so bad that it makes them furious
Just in case the show doesnāt end up airing or they air the censored version Internet Archive has the whole series plus more so you can watch this fall :)
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
The fact that Roy canonically goes to gay bars and hangs out with drag queens is criminally under-utilised in fanon.
Where are my stories about the boys trying to support Colin by going to a gay bar and then being gobsmacked when Roy knows everybody there? Where are the stories where Roy gets caught at G-A-Y by the paparazzi and outed, only for him to insist that heās straight to the team, who think heās trying to save face and keep making grandiose gestures to prove their support to an increasingly infuriated Roy. Where are the stories about Roy and Keeley going to a gay bar together (with the yoga milfs) and running into one of Keeleyās ex-girlfriends?
What about Jamie thinking heās doing super subtle bisexual signalling (cuffed jeans, layers, iced coffee, etc) only for Roy to clock him immediately and start trying to signal his support to Jamie Ć la Trentās gay mug, only for it to backfire as Jamie assumes Roy is trying to come out.
Whereās my Roy whoās known heās queer all his life getting invited to a gay club by his yoga friends for the first time and panicking, (because heās never acknowledged this part of himself and how can they see it?), only to go to the bar and have it feel like heās coming home. Whereās my Roy whoās absolutely certain heās straight (after all, heās being going to gay bars for years and he would know by now if he wasnāt) having a fucking heart attack as he falls for Jamie and has to reconceptualize his identity at 40. Where are the comedies about Keeley and Roy knowing the same person, but Roy only knows the drag queen and Keeley only knows the man out of drag and so they donāt realise they have the same friend?
What about a post-finale story where Roy, Keeley, and Jamie all show up at the same gay bar without planning it and have a series of bewildering conversations as they try to figure out if theyāve followed each other there (Keeley is like āhow many times can I tell these boys I wonāt pick between them?ā) or if the other person is gay (you obviously canāt just ask).
These are all off the top of my head, so I am sure there are more. But please, please, somebody write this. We canāt let Roy get away with mentioning this once and then never talking about it again.
