Discussion: should the DCC tradition of saying the Lord’s prayer before a game need scrapping?

Faith recently posted this light-hearted TikTok saying that she thinks she has a slight American accent when she says things like the Lord’s prayer & sings happy birthday. I’ve cropped the video down because of the specific question at hand, but it’s up on her TikTok if anyone wants to watch the full thing, it’s very funny!

I noticed that the video attracted a bit of commentary around whether this should be something that is done, and if the non-religious DCC’s were feeling like they had to partake to avoid ostracism from the other girls on the team.

Obviously, I think that saying the Lord’s prayer should not be a requirement & that any girl who wishes not to participate should not be made to feel “othered” in any way. However, as somebody who is not religious myself, I don’t think there’s an inherent issue with reciting it before a game, and I personally would not be opposed to joining in with my teammates. It seems to be somewhat of a DCC tradition, and I don’t feel that saying the words is uncomfortable, considering I don’t attribute any real meaning or importance to them.

What’s your take on this?

What’s a “niche” or lesser known move in Thunder that you love when it’s done right?

This is mine! I love how it comes after the iconic pom slam lol & it just seems so powerful when done right. Heavy emphasis on “done right” because it’s the one move that when it’s done how my brain perceives as “correctly” it does not scratch that itch 😭 Idk how to describe it as I’m not a dancer, but I love when the girls properly turn their feet out & get their arms in that low V. I think you can see in the second clip the difference in how Charly and Megan execute the same move, there’s just something in Megan’s footwork that makes it 😮‍💨🤌🏻

As you can see from the clips I’ve chosen, I think Trinity is the current girl on the squad who really owns this move! It’s her signature to me, just so good. Honourable mentions to Michelle, Ariel, & alumni Megan who also eat it up everytime!

Why is my makeup always separating? I have listed everything I use, pls help ☹️

i have been doing makeup for about 4 years now and no matter how many videos i watch, products i try, tips i follow etc i still cannot escape my makeup completely separating and melting off my chin/nose/forehead. please help!!!!

this is everything i’m using atm & how i use them:

skincare/makeup prep
anua hydrating mist
naturium azelaic acid serum
naturium eye cream
refy hydrating under eye balm
the ordinary aloe serum
l’oréal spf hyaluronic acid serum + lumi glow lotion (i apply only a teeny tiny amount of the lotion mixed into the spf)
elf power grip primer (i use a little bit on forehead, cheeks, nose, chin) & dab it in

i leave the primer to set for like 2 mins before i start with any makeup

makeup
kylie cosmetics skin tint (again, i use a small amount that i can build on)
nars pot concealer (i apply this very sparingly using a small flat brush and only on dark spots/active breakouts)
lys bronzing stick
rhode cream blush
nars cream concealer (i use a tiny bit under the eyes and to clean up any bronzer/blush)
eyeshadow + mascara + brow gel while i let everything settle into the skin
charlotte tilbury powder blush
one size pink loose powder under the eyes & charlotte tilbury setting powder over face (i apply using powder puffs & use very sparingly, always making sure i dab off any excess onto my hand)
big fluffy brush to wipe off any excess powder

my newest step which i was advised to do by a makeup artist was use the hydrating mist again after i set my face. i spray a clean beauty blender and just go over my entire face

then set with the l’oréal red setting spray

(thanks for all the advice, i will definitely take this on board!!!!)

New megathread for users to post about Reece as Roxie Hart has been pinned to the top of the sub!

Hello all,

Following an influx of posts about DCC alumni Reece’s recent debut as Roxie in Chicago, we have decided to create a designated megathread for the community to use in lieu of posting on the main feed.

From now on, any posts explicitly about Reece as Roxie will be removed & redirected to the megathread. We will move it to the top of the pinned posts so it’s easily accessible to all users.

Any other posts about Reece that are not related to Chicago will be allowed on the main feed under the alumni flair as usual.

As always, we will be monitoring the megathread, so please respect the sub rules.

Thank you!

- The mods

So… l listened. r/ReeceWeaver has been created for dedicated Reece posts.

I have absolutely zero desire to be a moderator for that subreddit. I have created a very basic community & mod questionnaire and am happy to give the role to others who are willing to run r/ReeceWeaver and make it better.

Regardless of people’s opinions on her, Reece is & will always be DCC alumni, & this sub is a place where the posting of alumni is allowed. The other mods & I are currently deciding on whether this community needs a dedicated Reece megathread whilst she makes her debut as Roxie in Chicago - we will let you know in due course. I just got home from Texas to the UK so am working on an entirely different time zone to the others again, forgive me 😅

Parker looking so good at Meet the Team! 💙🌟

Video credits to DCC alum Tori!

Parker was the one rookie that actively improved every game day and I couldn’t be happier to see her looking so strong out there! She deserves to have the best vet season 💙

My just-for-fun retirement predictions!

This is all just purely based off of my own gut feelings.

Confirmed:
- Marissa
- Kylie
- Sophy

Potential retirements that I believe are more likely to happen:
- Kayla (I feel like she may want to retire with her rookie sisters)
- Taylor
- Allison

Potential retirements that I believe could happen but are less likely to me:
- AK (after watching AS3, I feel like she is in a much better place mentally & will stay for a 5th season - however, as she has got a form of leadership two years in a row, that could be fulfilling enough for her & she may choose to retire!)
- Brooklyn
- Trinity
- Abby (idk, I just see her wanting to move on)
- Madie (seems like she wants to pursue a proper career & three seasons with DCC is pretty solid)
- Faith (has many other exciting opportunities to take that would probably be more lucrative & closer to home, I don’t see her needing DCC in order to achieve)

Again, these are all just for fun & I actually think we may see another very small rookie class again!
