I'm so late to posting this but!

the lovely @boxfullaturtles was very kind to do a commission for me!! Their art is so amazing! If you're interested, check them out for a commission of your own! They did this so quickly too, and I'm really grateful!!

look how cool he is!

Sure! It probably isn’t as interesting as I made it sound, but it sure felt dramatic at the time. 

So, in 2012, I was spending a semester studying at the University of Manchester. Through an amazing stroke of luck and knowing someone who had season tickets to Manchester City, I got to go to the Premier League final match. It was Man City vs. QPR and Man City hadn’t won the championship for 40 some years. So things were tense. 

And you know how basically no one ever scores in soccer matches? Well, this was a crazy game. Man City was doing pretty well but then QPR scored two goals in the second half and it seemed like maybe that was going to be it. But then Man City score two more goals in, like, the last ten minutes and won the game and the crowd went NUTS. 

We were all jumping up and down, screaming, hugging, etc. etc. and these guys behind me got a little bit too enthusiastic and in their excitement, tripped over and fell into my row, which pushed me into the row in front of me. Thankfully the people front caught me pretty quickly, saving me front losing some teeth or just creating some kind of terrible snowball effect, but my shin caught on the back of the plastic stadium seat and the momentum sort of just...took a big ol’ hunk out of my shin.
