Awkward - Blog Posts

Is it just me or is it always kinda embarrassing to make your first post on something. Why tshit hard 😭

Hi! I know that this is super random but I just wanted to say that you did a really great job on these feud descriptions. I see a lot of theories and opinions about storylines on tumblr and your work is really the best. It is really cool to read these and I think you have a great attention to detail and make things easy to understand. Because sometimes when people see the storylines on tv it can be hard to understand and easy for people to lose the true meaning behind why the superstars are fighting. I love everything about this especially the gifs and subtitles which add such a cool look and feel. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻❤️Okay I’m done now and thanks for listening to my ted talk. 😂🤗

The Boss vs The Man: A Battle For Greatness

The Boss and The Man are very different characters.  However their goals and ambitions have always been the same - to be at the top.

“Pissed Off For Greatness”

When Sasha became The Boss in NXT, it’s because she wanted centre of attention, to have the spotlight and to be the champion. She was angry that she had been being overlooked and underestimated for so long. She decided that the only way to achieve her dreams was to be ruthless and take down anyone that stood in her way and it worked for her.

Now Becky also had similar frustrations. Her career wasn’t really going anywhere in NXT. She eventually crossed paths with the Boss who gave her an idea: what do you need to do to make it to the top? Becky took that advice an aligned herself with Sasha. Together, they could work together to take out their competition. But there was underlying tension between them. 

This alliance would eventually dissolve when they both got a shot at the NXT Women’s Title. Sasha won the championship match, and now she was at the top. And where did that leave Becky? With nothing. They would eventually clash for the title. Sasha didn’t see Becky as her equal. She believed she made Becky. Becky lost the match but that would be her breakout moment. That set the stage for everything that’s happening now.

“Greatness doesn’t need to be goaded into being great.”

Charlotte, Sasha and Becky got called up to the main roster at the same time. And whilst Charlotte and Sasha had already made names for themselves, Becky struggled to find her place in the division. Opportunities would come and go and Becky would make the best of them, but the spotlight was on Sasha and Charlotte. Becky was always overlooked. An afterthought. She was even told she was the least relevant in the women’s evolution. Sasha and Becky both got the opportunity to face Charlotte for the women’s championship but Becky was the third wheel in that match. Once again an afterthought.

Eventually Becky would get separated from the two women she’s been tied to for the majority of her career. She then became the inaugural Smackdown women’s champion. Finally at the top of her own division, but there was something missing.

She realised what it was when she once again got pushed to the side for Charlotte Flair. “To be the best you have to beat the best”. Becky’s frustrations turn her against her former friend and the fans. However, she came to realise that the WWE Universe was on her side. They had been paying attention to her journey. They wanted her at the top. Becky had been holding back because she didn’t want step on any toes. But enough was enough. In NXT, she said she had come into this company to takeover and that’s what she decided to do. This system that had been against her from the beginning. The corporate heads never had faith in her but the fans did. She knew what she deserved. She’d fought hard to be where she was unlike the Charlottes and Rondas of this world.

With the support of the WWE Universe, Becky is able to take what she’s owed. She’s grabbed the brass ring and finally at the top of the mountain.

“The Greatest Woman To Never Be Great”

Sasha Banks’ journey has not been as easy as it looks. Coming to the main roster, Sasha not only craved attention but she wanted the respect of the WWE Universe. And that would be the beginning of a long arduous road for The Boss. Changing her attitude would lead to a series of embarrassing title reigns and wasted opportunities. She’s in the spotlight and gets to be in all these first-evers but always comes up short. Doing things the right way has not worked out for her.

She also realises that the system has never really been in her favour. Whenever she gets something, it gets taken away because she’s being the good guy. She has been of the backbone division yet been served on the chopping block to women she feels are lesser than her. She is the standard. She is the talk of the division yet no one respects her. No one believes in her and that has messed with her confidence. The tag titles present an opportunity to finally have gold but Sasha knows that just moves her farther away from her goal of being at the top. Being a mid-carder? That’s beneath her. And when she and Bayley lose the titles at Wrestlemania, that’s the last straw. She decides to take off and let the division fend for itself.

A Worthy Adversary

Now Becky is at the top. On the cover of posters and magazines, she’s the face of the company. But once again something is missing. She’s beaten Charlotte more times than she can count, she’s taken out Ronda and at this point Lacey Evans is her personal punching bag. Becky has done everything she needs to do. But she’s…bored? There’s this nagging feeling that there’s something that she hasn’t done yet. What is it? Defeat Sasha Banks.

Sasha Banks has been gone for months but somehow she’s still the centre of attention. The week of Wrestlemania when Becky makes history, all everyone is talking about is Sasha Banks: Where is she? Are the rumours true? When is she coming back? Becky is at the top of now but somehow Sasha is still in her spotlight. Becky needs Sasha to come back. She needs to defeat the woman who always doubted her and never saw her as a worthy adversary. So she goads Sasha, taunts and mocks her for being a sore loser whenever she gets the opportunity. But Sasha never responds. 

Now Sasha has been watching Becky. As Sasha’s career has been going down a road leading nowhere and Becky has been making her way to the top. Sasha was relegated to a pointless tag team match while Becky got to achieve Sasha’s dream of main-eventing Wrestlemania. Sasha made Becky, yet Becky is living The Boss’s dreams. Becky is getting everything Sasha ever wanted. Becky has the support of the fans. And Sasha is envious. She’s played nice for too long. Becky isn’t even on her level but has the audacity to mock her. She needs to come back and take what’s hers.

The Boss vs The Man

These two women have always had to fight for what they wanted. Becky has got to the top because she worked for it and had the fans on her side. And while Sasha initially had more opportunities, she’s lost momentum because she tried to be a people-pleaser. She wanted to be the hero but people saw right through it, that’s why it didn’t work. Becky and Sasha have never been the chosen ones. They’ve always had to take what they wanted. And now Becky has what Sasha wants. She wants The championship and Becky’s spot. As for Becky, she needs to tick off last thing on her list - Defeating Sasha Banks. The woman who always doubted her and never saw her as an equal.

While Sasha might have made Becky in NXT, Becky became The Man on her own. Sasha hasn’t been The Boss since NXT and now she’s back with a vengeance. That rage that fuelled her in NXT is back. She’s hungrier and more desperate than ever. Sasha is back for the fame, the money and the glory. Becky is at the top of her list because she has what Sasha needs. She still doesn’t think Becky is her equal. But Sasha has been paying attention. To be the man you need to beat The Man. They have a lot of history together and They may think they know each other but they’ve both changed. Becky is more confident now and Sasha is back in her element.

The Battle For Greatness

Becky has been playing a cat and mouse game with everyone who ever did her wrong. Telling them “get me before I get you.” That message was for Sasha.

And what does Sasha do on her return? Go after Natalya. She isn’t about to play The Man’s games. She has her own plan. She’s been ignoring Becky for months and she knows it’s gotten to her. She knows she’s in Becky’s head. That’s how she lured Becky out the night of her return. Sasha is still treating Becky like she isn’t worth her time.

The tables have turned. Now Becky believes that she’s made Sasha the top dog. She thinks that Sasha has done nothing of consequence since she’s been gone while she’s been making headlines. Now because of Becky, Sasha is the talk of the town. 

Becky’s game worked. She’s been trying to get Sasha back and The Boss finally took the bait. But Sasha is playing a different game. Something more sinister that she hasn’t revealed yet. There’s a lot at stake for them and not just the title. Their reputations and their positions. This is a battle for greatness. This is a blood feud and Clash of Champions is only the beginning.

I have yet again been possessed by the spirit of moirailegence and drawn the sappiest softest self insert art you ever did see

All those times I fucked up saying my fast-food order come to haunt me at night

Road trip aesthetics when you're underage

* Stopping at the gas station and buying incredibly overpriced granola bars because you're a stupid lazy fuck who left all the snacks at home

* Struggling with the seat belt

* Having no data in the middle of the woods

* Fighting with your father for the right to pick the music (and losing eventually)

* Numb ass

* Trying to concentrate on reading but failing

* Begging your father to stop in the meadow so you could run through the grass but not getting permission to do it

* Akward silence for 3+ hours

* Dehydration though you brought water

We then went on to have a LOVELY conversation about the art of making burgers on people’s heads and see how long it takes them to notice. 

Yes this comic is based on an ACTUAL conversation I had with my boyfriend on literally our second date... 

I love him so much 0/////0 

Prompt #10

That awkward moment when you lift the mask of your archenemy‘s face and it turns out that your archenemy is also your best friend.

Oh, don’t mind me, just practicing my accidental over sharing

And then they try to tell you about a “great business opportunity” and the chance to “be your own boss” and you have to fake explosive diarrhea to run away.

Ever had that awkward moment, where someone who was apparently in highschool with you tries to talk to you when they see you out at the shop or something, and you have no fuckin clue who they are? But you don't wanna be a dick 😅

Made a meme for the encounter I just had at the shop. 😂

Just as some background, I'm a senior in high school and I'm on the cross country team. My brother's friends live relatively close to me and him so we end up carpooling to and from practice (although with school, it's more carpooling from practice). Our one idiot friend's dad sometimes gets us from practice. Now, this guy annoys me. When we had practice in the summer, he'd occasionally take us there and when he did, he'd get us there late. Anyway, homecoming is coming up and a couple days ago, the dad was talking us home from practice and he was talking to all of us and he's saying something like, "I know this guy and he has some girls that I can set you guys up with as dates for homecoming". Now, I'm gay. However, I'm not admitting that to everyone in the car (there were four of us kids and besides me, everyone is a junior). And the LAST person I'm telling my secret to is this kid's dad. And he started talking to me for a bit, saying "@cadawan, you're not saying anything. You up for a date?" and I was caught off guard so I just go "Hm? Oh...uh, nah". I was sitting in the very back of his car, btw. And I know that he isn't really gonna set us up with dates but istg if he actually did I'd be friggin pissed. That would just be really awkward for me and I'm sure whoever the girls is, she wouldn't like me. I wouldn't want her asking me something like "What's wrong? Do you not like me or something?". Like, what do I say to that?

"Sorry darling, girls just don't do it for me"?

"Sorry, I prefer dudes"?

"Sorry, I'm gay, tho"?

Like, that's all I can think of saying.

Side note, there's actually this cute boy on the cross country team that I totally have a crush on and I'm pretty sure he's gay too but I dunno know if he has a bf and I'm too chicken shit to ask. I personally wouldn't go with a date to homecoming but if he asked me, I wouldn't be able to refuse. He is SUCH a sweet kid and I feel really awkward about fantasizing about kissing him but I can't help it. He is legit the only reason I like going to practice.
