Dr. Richard Giulianotti
I shall begin by looking at the social and academic context of the new football media. And that context begins in what we might simply call the 'modern' period of football in the United Kingdom, which is to say the early 1960s onwards.
During this era, some important changes took place in football in the UK, and most particularly in England. These changes heralded what we might call the 'modernisation' of football in the UK.
So, overall, these modern developments tend to be traced back to the 1960s. They might be regarded as drawing British football into the 'modern' era.
- the abolition of the maximum wage - football players no longer had a limit to their weekly earnings (1961). This measure was important, as it was the first stage in reducing the control of the club over the players' labour power.
- England were allocated the World Cup Finals, which they hosted in 1966, and made their preparations accordingly.
- tactically, on the playing field, there was greater experimentation with more efficient or result-orientated playing styles. This culminated, of course, in the England team of 1966, playing without any dribbling-players or wingers.
- football clubs started to become more 'professional' and modern in their organisation; traditionally, many clubs were owned by small, local businessmen; from the 1960s onwards, the clubs started to draw upon the business skills of wealthier owners and professional, middle-class people.
- television penetrated football culture much more. The World Cup finals gained greater and greater exposure; and English and Scottish football was covered on a weekly basis by the mid-1960s, with special highlights programmes, from the BBC and from ITV - the two main television stations.
- football players and football clubs and football supporters, became more orientated towards the European and world game. In 1960, Real Madrid played Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Cup Final at Hampden Park, in Glasgow. A Scottish crowd of 135,000 supporters went to see this display of genius - Real won the game 7-2. More football players moved abroad - in 1961, three top players moved to Italy. British teams started to compete more effectively in European competition - resulting in Glasgow Celtic becoming European champions in 1967, and then Manchester United in 1968.
- structurally, football began to acquire a distinctive, yet more organic relationship to other areas of British popular culture. Football had to compete with new areas of leisure and entertainment during the 1960s. This meant that attendances at football matches started to decline from the late 1960s onwards. But, it also meant that football clubs and football players became top personalities. Some of them made records. The great George Best, the idol of Manchester United, became known as the 'Fifth Beatle'. The game became fashionable, and was part of the 'Swinging Sixties'. In some ways, this pushed football away from its traditional basis. The players lost contact with the supporters - they identified less with the supporters that went to watch them. It is often a trite and simple thing to say. And yet, this is true. In the 1950s, players like Sir Stanley Matthews would say that they were lucky to be playing a game they loved and being paid for it. They compared themselves with their brothers or their former neighbours. By the 1960s, such a mechanistic attitude had perished; the supporters were no longer the 'significant others' for the players. And yet, the new fashionability of the modern game declined, as another phenomenon took place:
- on the football terraces, we had the gradual emergence of football hooligan groups. By football hooliganism, I don't mean general fighting among the crowd; instead, I'm refering to the emergence of distinctive groups of subcultures, which became increasingly orientated towards engaging in competitive violence with their equivalent rivals. This emergence of football hooliganism occurred in England in the early 1960s. In Scotland, the genealogy of football hooliganism is much longer - it goes back at least to the 1930s, when rival gangs of young men fought each other, especially in Glasgow - where the Protestant fans tended to support Glasgow Rangers, and the Catholic fans tended to support their great rivals, Glasgow Celtic.
- Nevertheless, the association of football with hooliganism intensified during the 1960s, 1970s and then the 1980s. And this association helped to limit the penetration of football by a middle class audience. Hence, football was still culturally equated with the working-class, and tended to attract a generally working-class audience.
Among academics, research into football was rather slow to emerge. But, when it did emerge, in the late 1960s, most academic work on football, especially the social dimensions of football, tended to look at football hooliganism. So, in that sense, the sociological debate on football, started from the historical premise that there was something wrong with football, and that it had problems which needed to sort out. And that problem was perceived to be football hooliganism.
Between the late 1960s, and the mid 1980s, there were several major sociological explanations which emerged, to explain football hooliganism.
The first major explanation emerged from the Marxist perspective, especially the work of Ian Taylor. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Taylor argued that football hooliganism was caused by young, working class fans, who were showing resistance to the forces of modernization in football. Taylor wrote about the attempt to bourgeoisify football, and argued that the so-called 'football hooligans' were actually expressing a form of resistance to this take-over of a working class game.
In the late 1970s, Peter Marsh and his colleagues at Oxford Polytechnic carried out research with young football fans. They argued that football hooliganism was primarily a harmless ritual, and a way of releasing natural, aggressive impulses within a young, male social context.
They argued that the general public, the politicians, the judges, and the press, all had a tendency to exaggerate the scale and the danger of 'football hooliganism' or what they called 'football aggro'. This exaggeration or amplification tended to give rise to real violence among fans, as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A third school of thought emerged in the early 1980s, and has tended to be rather dominant to this day. This perspective came from a group of sociologists based at the University of Leicester. They base their work on the sociological philosophy of Norbert Elias, and which has come to be known as 'figurational sociology' or 'process-sociology'. The leading writer on figurational sociology and sport, is Eric Dunning; he is supported by a number of colleagues, notably Patrick Murphy, Ivan Waddington and Joe Maguire. To many of us, they became known as the 'Leicester school'.
The figurationalists started their work on football hooliganism, at a time when English fan violence was reaching its peak. Subsequently, the figurationalists received large research grants from British football institutions, to carry out their work.
Their basic argument is that:
The figurationalists published three major books on football hooliganism. These were co-written by Eric Dunning, Patrick Murphy & John Williams. During the 1980s, more and more researchers began to research or to publish on the issue of football hooliganism. The field became rather competitive. This resulted in the figurational perspective being criticised on several grounds:
- Football hooligans tend to come from the lower-working class social groups.
- Violence at football is not a new phenomenon. However, the general public do not tolerate violence as much as in the past, because they have become more 'civilized'.
I think all of these criticisms were proved to be justified. In fact, the final criticism became very evident round about 1990, when John Williams decided to split away from the figurational perspective. Williams argued that the evidence on football hooliganism, which he had found when interviewing fans and researching the subject, did not match with the theories of figurationalism.
- Empirically - hooligans in England don't come, simply, from the lower-working classes.
- Cross-culturally - their arguments don't hold very well in relation to football fan violence outside of England.
- Theoretically - their arguments are too strongly dependent upon the work of Elias.
The result is that there are now two football research centres, inside the University of Leicester, and inside the Department of Sociology. On one side, there is John Williams, who continues to run the Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Research. He gets most of his research funding from football institutions in England. On the other side are the figurationalists, who work at the Centre for Research into Sport and Society. They get most of their funding, as far as I know, from the University of Leicester.
I would argue that the figurationalists still have a hegemonic position, within the sociology of sport, and especially in the study of football.
However, during the late 1980s and 1990s, a number of other researchers have come to prominence in examining football culture.
The most important of these have been:
So, I think you have here, the key players in the current football debate in the UK. But, I think there are areas in which that debate has tended to take place within a framework of distorted communication, in which the more powerful groups within the debate tend to be especially hostile to criticism, and in which they tend to use their power to block the publication of work by other authors.
- Pierre Lanfranchi - Pierre is an historian, and he was based at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. Pierre was a vital figure in making the debate on football much more international, and much more inter-disciplinary. He regularly organised conferences, for old and young academics to meet and to discuss different aspects of football.
- Steve Redhead & the 'Institute for Popular Culture' based at Manchester Metropolitan University - Steve Redhead has written a lot on the cultural aspects of football. In particular, he looks at the relationship between football, youth subcultures and music. Redhead also tries to explore how postmodern social theory might be applied to explain football culture.
- Gary Armstrong - Armstrong has helped to reintroduce an anthropological approach to explaining football in the UK. His work has tended to be restricted to the study of football hooliganism. In 1991, he published an article in a leading sociology journal, The Sociological Review, which led to a lot of controversy.
- There is a new group of researchers, based at the University of Brighton (on the south coast of England). They are led by Alan Tomlinson, and have written extensively on FIFA, and the organisation of the World Cup Finals.
- Other researchers based in Manchester at the University of Salford. I have in mind here, especially, Vic Duke - who has co-written a book on Football, Nationality & the State; and Ian Taylor, who continues to write the odd article on football.
- Scottish researchers - such as myself and Gerry Finn. We have tried to emphasize the fact that a lot of the theories developed in England, are not applicable to football in the rest of the UK.
- John Bale, who is a geographer, and who has written some fascinating pieces on football, space and senses of place.
I appreciate that academics throughout the world tend to experience these problems, but I think this is especially true in the UK football debate. One result of this abuse of power, I think, is the tendency of the debate to be very heated - at times polemical, at times litigious. I think a lot of the blame for this aspect of the football debate, must lie at the door of the Leicester School, the figurationalists, who are extremely sensitive to criticism. They do tend to ignore or to rubbish the work of other researchers. If you look at the 1991 edition of the Sociological Review, you will understand what I mean.
Now, with the emergence of these new research groups, it has to be said that the general debate on football culture has turned to look at a broader range of issues, beyond football hooliganism. To some extent, this is because the actual debate on football hooliganism was no longer considered to be constructive or interesting. There had also been a decline in the research funding that was available to study football violence.

Stock Photography on Ulitzer
Got a digital camera? Now you can earn money selling your pictures on the Internet!
If you have a good eye and if you are a creative person, you can generate very nice monthly income by selling your pictures on stock photography web sites. In a month or two you will start collecting monthly PayPal transfers for few hundreds bucks from any agency you decided to work with.
You probably can not live from a few hundreds bucks a month, but come on – at least it pays you back for all that nice and expensive photographic gear you have purchased last year, and pays back quit fast. I truly love online stock photography phenomenon, since it is the first in the world and probably the only business model which allows amateur photographers like you and me to earn some money from they lovely hobby. In fact, if you are a talented photographer and you shoot hundreds of pictures every month you can earn a very significant part of your living by shooting high quality creative pictures for the stock photography agencies.
Sample stock photography image
There are many stock photography sites that will be happy to sell your photos as royalty free stock and share with you the received revenues.Dreamstime, ShutterStock, 123rf, iStockPhoto, , BigStock and CanStockPhoto are just few stock sites to name. All stock sites allow you to register and use all their services for free.
Many stock agencies will ask you to provide detailed personal information such as a scan of you picture ID or passport. These requirements are a part of a continuous effort for limiting the online images fraud and they aim to protect both image buyers and image copyright owners from the fraudulent behavior.
In addition to the submitters authentication, many stock photo sites will ask you to pass a professional online test, which should verify that you have all the required photographic skills and that you understand rules of the game on stock photography market. Do not be afraid of that test. If you know the difference between shutter speed and the aperture and if you can explain what is DOF you will pass this test for sure.
The basic stock photography rules are very simple:
1) Do not submit stock photographs and illustrations that include any copyrighted material.
Avoid photographing company logos, trademarks, third-party images and brands.
Visible brand name / copyrighted trade mark? Forget about the stock photography
2) Provide a model release for any recognizable person in your stock image.
You can download model release form at every stock photography site. Fill it in and send along with each image containing a recognizable person. It could be a good idea to keep around some printed copies of model releases forms. When you shoot a person, do not forget signing her on a model release! You can make your own 'universal' model release which will work for most sites. Note, that most sites will also ask you for the copy of model's ID, the witness signature and a copy of witness picture ID. Keep all this in your mind when you prepare a stock photography shooting session
Sign him on model release!
3) Editorial content.
Some stock photo agencies, like Shutterstock and Dreamstime accept royalty free editorial stock photos.
Different rules set apply for editorial content. Editorial content can be used only in news and therefore editorial stock images do not require model releases and can include copyrighted material. So, if you have shot a crowded carnival in Brazil do not throw out all your pictures just because you do not have model releases for all these people. You still can submit your images as editorial stock photographs to some stock photography agencies.
The image above can be used as editorial too, however most sites will not accept it. They look for celebrities shots and news content.
4) Use appropriate lighting and composition.
This is common sense, but I will mention it anyway. Your images compete for the buyers attention with stock images created by highly qualified talented professional photographers who shoot for years, own some nice equipment and definitely know how and when to use it. You must think creatively in terms of lighting and composition, otherwise your images will never sell. For instance, if until now you relied on built-in camera flash as a proper source for indoor lighting it is a time to change your mind.
Go to the stock photo sites and take a look how other stock photographers use light in their work. You will probably need to switch to some more professional sources of lighting for your indoor photography. Again – be creative and you will win the war for the buyers' attention and buyers dollars!
Creative lighting is good, but is it good enough for stock images buyers? Not always. In many cases the buyers prefer a 'no shadows' image.
Advise: shoot various lighting options.
5) Images format
Images format must be JPEG for all microstock agencies, with image dimensions typically starting from at least 4 megapixels. Typical maximum file size is 15 MB - 20 MB.
6) Properly prepare your images before uploading them to stock photo sites.
First of all it means digital editing. Your images must be sharp when viewed at full size (1:1), this way stock editors review your submissions.
There are many software applications that can help you to edit your image, starting from the industry standard Adobe Photoshop, followed up by the newer and much cheaper Adobe Lightroom and ending up with Google's Picasa, which is very limited in its editing capabilities, but is available for free. You also can try Corel photo editing software, which gives you a good value for a dollar spent. Do your best editing your pixels and you will be rewarded by image sales.
Original image
After 2 minutes editing in Adobe Lightroom: saturation, levels and other parameters slightly tweaked to enforce the autumn mood.
Making your image look gorgeous is still not enough to create a bestselling picture. Think about buyers. Buyers yet have to find your image among all the similar pictures in the web image database provided by a stock agency. It means you have to describe your image using appropriate keywords, title and description. It is important to do it before uploading images to a stock photo site, otherwise you will need to add keywords at every stock site, thus multiplying image preparation time.
The good news is that the keywords and other metadata can be inserted directly into a JPG file, so any image can carry its own metadata. This image metadata modification protocol is called IPTC and is implemented by some graphical applications, e.g. Adobe Photoshop. Editing IPTC data and selecting of proper descriptive keywords can take significant amount of time, especially if English is not your mother tongue or if you are much better in taking pictures than in describing them in words. The bad news is that the buyers will never find your images if they were loosely keyworded!
Fortunately, free ProStockMaster desktop software developed by Pixamba provides significant aid for a stock contributor by streamlining the stock photography workflow. The application sports semi-automated images keywording with built in translation from 42 languages, IPTC data editing, EXIF reading and provides simultaneous images upload to multiple leading stock photography agencies. ProStockMaster is a free app, which saves stock artists hours of tedious image preparation, keywording, uploading and management work.

7) Prices and payments: what income you can expect?
Most stock photography agencies pay photographers on a per-download base, i.e. when a royalty free stock photo or a stock illustration is purchased by an images buyer. This is a micro-payment model and the microstock prices you get paid start as low as $0.20 pre download, and sometimes even less. Some stock photo agencies pay up to $0.4 per download even for non-exclusive images. If you were successful to create a real bestselling image you can easily get a few hundreds downloads a month, and your earning arithmetic can be $0.4 x 300 = $120 monthly - for a single image.
Shooting 10 bestsellers a month could generate you $1,200 monthly income from one stock agency only – definitely not a bad return on a few hours investment. The rule of the thumb says the more images you have in your portfolio the more images you sell and the higher monthly income you get.
How big your portfolio should be? Try to reach 2,000 images mark in every agency. It's a good number to expect a stable income from your portfolio.
Typically, the microstock agencies send you a check or a PayPal transfer if you have earned a certain amount of cash, typically $100. A few agencies (e.g. BigStock) offer smaller $50 payouts, thus allowing you to get your earnings faster.
8) Copyright
Most stock agencies act as your non-exclusive sale agents, offering your royalty free stock images to the content buyers and keeping you as the only copyright owner.
Avoid companies that request you transferring your copyright to them or to their buying customers! If you transfer the copyright you loose all the rights for your image ownership. ProStockMaster web site provides a list of the well-known leaders in the stock photography industry. It is a good idea to start working with the trusted companies first and learn the rules of the microstock game.
Well, that's all folks! Now just grab your digital camera and go for a stock photography shooting session.
Oh, - wait!, wait a second. First, open your web browser and take a look what other people submit to stock photography agencies. Note the most popular royalty free images and review the stock agencies suggestions for the required stock content. Keep this stuff in your mind when you are planning your shooting.
My personal advice? Avoid flowers close-ups, boring rural landscapes, busy city scenes and the office buildings. Instead, try to materialize concepts and shoot pictures which represent them, things like 'success', 'failure', 'partnership'. Find your own models, that you like and make others like them by keeping shooting them over and over. Be always creative and your pictures will become new online bestsellers.
Good luck and happy shooting!

Travel Diary
By Roe Mobile Development
This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.
* Record the story of your vacation with text, pictures and maps and recordings
* Export pictures to Facebook with GPS info (including a link to maps), comments and recordings
* Zoom and pan to capture what you want within a picture.
* Use Box.net to transfer your pictures to the iPad and view a slide show
This is the tool you need to organize the pictures you take on your vacation. When you take a picture, instead of using the iPhone's camera application, use Travel Diary. The time and location of each picture is automatically saved. Comments and recordings can be added to each picture. In addition, general comments can be added not attached to any picture. These comments can be used to describe your activities each day. They also get time and location stamps.
When you are done with your travel, you will have the complete story of your vacation told with words, pictures and maps. You can browse through your pictures either from an interactive list or in full screen mode. Just press a button from any picture and a map will appear showing the location where it was taken. You can generate an HTML page which can be placed on your web site or you can export your pictures and comments (and location and time stamps) to Facebook. You can also email your pictures to friends. If you add more pictures after exporting, Travel Diary remembers what was already exported and only exports the new pictures.
Travel Diary is compatible with iPhone OS 3.0 and later.
What's New in Version 2.0
1) You can now record audio with your pictures
2) iPad support-you can upload your pictures to Box.net from your iphone and download them onto your iPad.
3) The iPad supports a slide show feature which can be displayed on either the iPad itself or an external display
4) Travel Diary now supports the emailing of individual pictures or the entire chapter
5) Numer bug fixes and improved Box.net performance
Customer Reviews
Great concept, it just needs a few updates. One I would highly reccomend would be that you can put the location on the picture, so you can still have the location even when you didn't take the picture through the app. This is also helpful if you're putting the chapter together when you return from a trip. Also, it would be helpful to be able to select more than one picture at a time from the iPhone photo album.
Very disappointed
Crashes every minute....not user friendly
Travel diary is a waste of money. It is limited and difficult to use. The 'help' section is pointless and inaccurate. Don't buy.

By partnering with U.K.-based White Clarke Automotive Solutions, Kia will launch a pilot car rental program at several dealerships in the first-half of 2014. Participating dealers will allocate between 10 to 20 vehicles to the rental fleet.
White Clarke, which coordinates other dealerships' rental schemes like Ford's, will provide the technology and support for Kia's program, says the company.
"We provide the people, the system and the centralized billing to give an end-to-end dealer-based rental solution," said Pam Halliday, sales director at White Clarke. "It's a great way of getting people into dealerships and essentially gives you a paid for test drive."
Additionally, White Clarke will help confirm competitive rates by conducting market research to determine rental rates for local dealerships, says the company.
If the program is successful, Kia plans to expand it.
"It's hard to quantify, but we would expect a positive effect in terms of retail and fleet market share as a result of the positive test drive effect," said John Hargreaves, head of fleet and remarketing at Kia. "It will also increase the choice of own brand replacements when vehicles are off the road and offer dealers an additional profit opportunity. In addition, it will offer local customers an alternative to the traditional rental companies for small volumes of rental vehicles."

Blog: Heading Southcorp
Chris Brook-Carter | 20 April 2005
The two potential mergers that have dominated these pages' headlines this week couldn't have more different feels to them. While the Foster's bid to take over Southcorp has looked set to drag on indefinitely, market sources have suggested Allied Domecq and its joint suitors, Pernod Ricard and Fortune Brands, could hammer out a deal within the next 24 hours.
That, of course, has all changed in the blink of an eye, with news today of a trading halt on both Southcorp's and Foster's shares.
Quite what will come from the pending announcement is still unclear. The wake of the ongoing impasse between both groups over the price of the bid has raised the prospect in recent weeks of Foster's walking away.
"With the Australian wine industry conditions deteriorating rapidly..., we believe Foster's is unlikely to increase its bid materially," one research note from Merrill Lynch read this week.
"The logical outcome that appears increasingly likely, given Foster's has stated anything less than 90% of Southcorp is not on the agenda, is Foster's walking away from its current bid for Southcorp," its analyst said.
However, the negative outlook for Australian wine predicted by some of the investment community may temporarily work in Foster's favour because it prompted Southcorp's share price to fall below that of Foster's offer this week for the first time since the bid was made.
The fall has made Southcorp's chances of holding off its rival's advances all the harder and may have prompted this resumption of talks. Indeed, according to one of just-drinks' sources within Southcorp, the deal is all but inevitable, with the primary issue being one of timing.
The cards are now stacked in Foster's favour and the beer and wine group still argues its current offer is generous and that it is prepared to wait patiently.
However, we may now see a token rise in the offer price to allow Southcorp's board to save face and smooth the deal through - a move that will not please all of Foster's own investors who feel the company is over-paying already in this tough climate.

KAMLOOPS — The Memorial Hill Cenotaph in Kamloops holds the names of Canadian men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
From WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the War in Afghanistan, the landmark honours soldiers killed in action both generations ago, and in more recent conflict.
While there are cenotaphs all over the country, few are anything like the one that sits on the corner of Battle Street downtown.
For years, the monument has been in need of repairs and improvements. After a long wait, that work has finally started.
WATCH: Full report by Tanya Cronin
It's an historic monument that bears the names of over 100 men and women lost in battle. The Kamloops Cenotaph was built in 1925, and now after 9 decades, it will finally be restored.
"If you had been here a week earlier you would've been able to see there were large chunks of grout that had fallen out, there was a lot of moss that had become embedded, so they've cleaned that up," says Barbara Berger, City of Kamloops Arts, Culture & Heritage Manager.
Work has begun to improve the asthetics of the Battle Street Cenotaph, and upgrade the park space surrounding this landmark.
"The grounds that we're standing on, we want to improve the accessibility to the site, make sure it's wheelchair accessible, so our parks staff will be undertaking some of the landscaping component to make this public space that much more accessible."
Lighting and benches will be installed to make the space more comfortable for people to sit and reflect while remembering a loved one. The full scope of the restoration project will cost more than $100,000. The City of Kamloops has contributed between $35,000 and $40,0000 and the remaining has been donated.
"$25,000 has come from Veteran's Affairs, that was our first external source that came to us, then we had a $50,000 private donation, the legion has contributed to the project as well, there have been quite a few contributors."
Nearly $70,000 will focus primarily on repairs to the clock atop the memorial, where the hands of time have stood still for much of its history. Over time, debris and rock dust has damaged the clock's interior.
"The mechanics that are installed will be new, we'll keep the original faces, you would never know the mechanics are new but we've made every effort to keep every nut and screw that came out of the original becuase it's a facinating object that people will be able to observe in the museum."
Work to restore the Kamloops Cenotaph is extensive and will take time. But skilled professionals started repairs last week, and the hope to complete the project before the snow flies. All to ensure those who fought, are never forgotten.
"This monument honours those who served our country and lost their lives in WWI, WWII, the Korean War, Afghanistan, it's very important," says Berger.

Pirates Steer Hijacked Tanker to Somali Coast
NAIROBI, Kenya -- A crude-oil tanker hijacked on Sunday in the Indian Ocean was bound for a pirate stronghold on the Somali coast Monday, according to European Union's antipiracy taskforce, raising new concerns about the impact that pirates' expanded capability could have on the global oil market.
The Maran Centaurus, a Greek-owned tanker, was carrying roughly 93.5 million gallons of crude, worth about $175 million from Saudi Arabia bound for New Orleans, La., a major U.S. oil import area. The taskforce said it expected...

listen i know cute animals are subjective sometimes but, really, how the fuck is the pink fairy armadillo-
considered to be one of the worlds "most bizarre/ugliest" looking animals??? how ?????
a/n: the gif has no meaning to this story but I loved this part in the movie so oh well; btw, thanks to everyone for putting up with my ultra shitiness
The statue of Y/n stood in the garden by the palace. Smooth stone benches circled around her pedestal of sapphires so that any one could sit by and watch or talk or read. But the common practice of a person kneeling down at Y/n's feet means that anyone watching must leave.
Y/n's legend traces back to long ago; she was a well-known goddess of truth and virtues, born at a time when the Asgardians needed some truth and virtue in their lives. She was killed by one of her sisters, a jealous and envious lady.
And so in her honor, a statue was built and placed in a garden of blue and white pastel flowers. Legend declared that only the tears of oppressed and weak would bring her to life, when the world had fallen to dust and needed Y/n's brightness to guide them.
Over time, people had begun to pray at her feet, confess their wrongdoings and overcome past sufferings. They believed that their tears gave her strength, enough so that one day she'd be able to awaken and fight for them. So her garden became known as the Weeping Garden, a place where people can go to hope and believe.
Loki does not believe.
He had not believed for a long while, not since he'd begged for her to awaken and end this suffering he felt-being an outsider. After the truth had come out-after he'd learned of his true heritage and Odin fell into the dangerous sleep-Loki fell to his knees and cried for the first time in a long time. He apologized for everything he'd done to possibly deserve such pain.
Nothing happened. Y/n did not awaken to take Odin's place or lead Loki to his happy ending.
Loki couldn't even begin to describe the betrayal he'd felt; he'd been abandoned by the one person who was never meant to betray anyone.
It was now a time of destruction in Asgard. Hela had awoken, apparently ready to unleash hell, and Loki was meant to be on his way to the Eternal Flame. And yet he is distracted.
Y/n's statue is staring at him, her blind stone eyes blank but unyielding.
"What do you want?" Loki snapped.
Her head did not move.
"There's nothing I can do for you!"
Still, nothing.
Loki swore and held out a hand. The statue wavered off of the ground and Loki ran. He felt hopeful, of all things. But he'd certainly not get on his knees and cry or beg for Y/n to help him.
If the legend is true-if-then the Flame would bring her to life just as easily as a few sniveling sobs.
Of course a few parts of his brain told him it wouldn't work. He couldn't imagine that tears hadn't been shed for her with Hela around. People must have tried. So why should he?
Loki didn't know what to do, but he'd have to make a choice fast. His brother is counting on him and he can't let Thor down. Not again.
Standing before the flame, Loki took a deep breath. The cup that held the inextinguishable licks of flame seemed so small and probably meaningless to anyone who wouldn't know better.
"This better work," Loki said to himself. He reached into the basin and cupped his hands together. A ball of fire pulled away. Loki looked at Y/n's inanimate face. She was carved to be very beautiful. Although she is only stone, her hair bounds over her shoulders, across the curve of her breasts, animatedly.
Loki, hesitant, as if he feared the flame would go out, put both hands on either of Y/n's cheeks as though he were about to kiss her. The flame melted the stone into something like rubber that pooled around her feet. Loki took a step back as the melting rock slid down Y/n, who could hardly peel her eyes back. She fell forward and Loki caught her, his heart beating twice as fast with excitement.
He slunk down to his knees, cradling her close. "Are you alright?" Loki asked, brushing her hair from her face. It's [h/c]. It's soft.
And she's beautiful.
Perhaps the most beautiful thing Loki's ever set his eyes on. The rock encasing did not do her features much justice.
She coughed and wheezed for breath, shaking in Loki's arms.
A moment later, her eyes opened. Y/n looked at Loki with weak pools of [e/c]. "You've…awoken me." Those first words startled Loki. He had been unsure and up until she spoke, nothing about the revival felt real.
"Why?" she asked in a thick, wavering voice. She limply struggled against Loki, trying to pull away from him, but her limbs felt heavy as lead.
"Hold on to me," Loki instructed. She weakly protested a few times as they stood, one of her arms looped around Loki's waist.
"What are you doing?!" Y/n shrieked when she saw Loki seize Surtur's crown. "Stop, you'll kill us all!"
Loki couldn't determine if Y/n is fully lucid. She seemed groggy and cloudy and physically weak; she could hardly stand without Loki's help, and struggling to take the crown from him proved difficult. But she seemed aware enough to know what dousing the crown into the eternal flame would mean.
Loki placed the crown into the basin and lifted Y/n into his arms. She thrashed against him. "You've killed us all!" shd exclaimed. "Don't you know what you've done?"
Loki supposed he'd react similarly in Y/n's position. Ragnorak meant the end. The utter end.
"You've killed us all!" she exclaimed.
"Unless my brother and I are wrong, then yes, I suppose I have," Loki grunted as he hoisted Y/n by her hips and throwing her across his shoulders. Y/n struggled against him weakly, hitting her fists against his back. "Let me go!" she exclaimed.
"Quit moving around," Loki instructed as he attempted to run as fast as he could with Y/n yelling in his ear and pounding on his back. "I'm trying to save you!"
Y/n reached her hand down and pinched Loki as hard as she possibly could on the butt. Loki yelped and Y/n managed to worm her way off of him.
"You are lucky that I am feeling outrageously kind today," Loki snapped as he seized Y/n by the wrist. She raised another hand to strike him. Loki caught her other limb and stared at her darkly.
Her eyes are [e/c], stern and unwavering.
"Come on," he said. The two ran, Y/n being dragged away but she didn't fight him off as they exited the palace that had begun to rumble under their feet.
a/n: hahahah cliff hangar
Hey everyone! so a lovely anonymous requested a part 2 for celebrity crush and I really liked the idea so here it is :) thank you for the request! I hope you all like it x
if you haven't read part 1 yet here it is ;)
It's been 4 months since Y/N and Finn started talking, and he couldn't be more grateful for his big mouth for spilling out how he feels about her in that interview. Those 4 months have been the best of his life. He got along so well with Y/N. He loves talking to her so much that it's literally the only motivation he needs to get out of his bed in the morning, and he could tell she feels the same way. He thought that maybe she wasn't obsessed with him as he is with her, but little did he know that talking with him was always the highlight of her day.
Finn: Good morning x
Y/N: Morning Finn! x What are you up to?
Finn: we're on our way to an interview, you?
Y/N: Same, good luck! x
Finn: You too babe, talk to you later
"Are you texting Y/N?" Gaten asked while leaning on Finn a little to take a glimpse at his phone.
"Obviously he's texting her. I can see this huge smile of his clearly from the rear-view mirror," Caleb said from the passenger seat.
"Shut up" Finn rolled his eyes, but he still couldn't hide the smile plastered on his face just because of having this small conversation with Y/N.
The boys were currently on their way to another interview with James Corden, this time to talk about the success of Stranger Things season 2 and what to expect on season 3.
"Welcome boys! It's really great to see you all again," James greeted.
James asked them a couple of questions about the show, but obviously there was no way he was going to let what happened at the last interview slip by, especially after the internet basically blew up from Y/N's tweets, and when everyone found out that Finn and Y/N started texting each other because of exactly that.
"So Finn, last time you were here we talked about about your little crush on Y/N Y/L/N, and now I heard you guys are talking non-stop am I correct?" James smirked. Finn immediately smiled at the mention of her name, and he may or may not blushed a little too.
"Yeah we are. I guess embarrassing myself in front of everyone last time paid off after all," Finn chuckled, and earned a laugh from the audience too. "But yeah she's a lovely person and I definitely love talking with her."
"Have you two met in person yet?" James asked.
"No, sadly, we both have a very busy schedule so it's really hard to find a time for one of us to fly to the other," Finn and Y/N have been trying forever to meet each other, but with Finn's interviews, photoshoots, and band, and Y/N's endless schedule of promoting the new season of her show, it was basically impossible to find a time they were both free on. It made Finn kind of frustrated and upset, but he was still happy that he gets to talk with her, even if it's not face to face.
"Hmm that's weird. I actually had a chat with her a couple of days ago, and it turns out she was free today. So I thought we should all catch up a little, you know?" James said casually, waiting to see Finn's reaction.
"Wait what?" Finn freaked out. His eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of his head any second now. He frantically looked left and right, trying to catch sight of the only person he wished he could be with right now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Y/N Y/L/N!" The audience broke into applause and loud cheers. And there she was. Y/N finally entered the set, waving at the audience.
Finn couldn't believe his eyes. She's here. She's really here. He never thought that she could be anymore beautiful in person. In his eyes, she looked perfect in all her pictures, but somehow she looked much more mesmerizing in real life, and he couldn't understand how that is even possible.
It took him a few moments to take in what just happened and finally react, but once he did, he ran over to her and pulled her in a tight hug. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, and his were around her waist. He buried his face into her neck, talking in her sweet smell. He honestly doesn't know how long they have been in each other's embrace, but he assumed it was pretty long since he heard Noah slightly clear his throat.
They finally broke apart, then Finn took her hand in his, leading her to the seat next to his.
The interview was over, and the boys went back to their hotel rooms along with Y/N. Part of the surprise was that Y/N booked a hotel room next to the boys' for the night, and Finn couldn't be happier. Of course he was upset that his time was Y/N is very limited, and this may be the last time he sees her for a long time, but he was determined that he wouldn't think about it at all, and that he was going to make every second left with her worth it.
Right now the two were watching a movie together. It was one that Finn has never seen before, but he wasn't really that interested in it. His whole attention was on her. He tried to be sneaky about glancing at her every couple of minutes, but obviously he failed. He didn't really care if she noticed, because honestly, he would rather watch her laugh at a funny scene here and there, than watch the movie itself.
"Obviously you don't like the movie that much," Y/N said without taking her eyes off the screen, but just as she finished the sentence she turned to Finn with a smirk on her pink lips.
"No no, it's not that- sorry," Finn blushed, turning his attention back to the movie.
"Don't apologize, I honestly would rather talk with you," Y/N shyly smiled, then turned off the TV, and Finn could swear his heart skipped a beat at that moment.
They decided to spend the rest of their night in the balcony of Y/N's hotel room, talking about anything and everything. Most of the time Finn was cracking jokes just to hear Y/N laugh. He loved how he was the reason she was happy even it was for a couple of seconds.
Man I'm screwed. He thought.
In the past few months his infatuation with Y/N grew even more and more. They flirted a lot, so he was almost sure that she liked him back, but for some reason he was never able to make a move, and it was really frustrating him. There was always that voice at the back of his mind telling him that she probably doesn't like him that way, but that was certainly far from the truth.
How could he be so oblivious? She thought.
The girl couldn't be anymore into him. Hell, Finn not making making a move yet frustrated her even more than it ever did him. She thought she couldn't be more obvious about how much she liked the curly-haired boy.
Y/N was telling Finn about funny stories from filming her show, but as much as he loved hearing her babble on adorably about the things she love, he couldn't even hear a single word of what she was saying. All he could focus on was how her lips moved with every word she said.
"Finn?" Hearing his name pulled him out of his daydream, "Is everything okay?" Y/N asked, her voice full of concern.
Finn faintly smiled, then pulled her into him by her waist, until his chest was against hers. He slowly leaned into her, and finally connected their lips together. It didn't take Y/N long to realise what was happening and wrap her arms around Finn's neck tightly, trying to pull him even closer. One of his hands was now caressing her cheek, while the other stayed on her waist, trying to close any distance between them. They slowly broke the kiss, with a smile on their faces. Finn softly kissed her forehead, then pulled her in his embrace.
"Yeah, everything's perfect."
