hey......what if. instead of tumblr making their own gaiaonline avi things......what if we just went to gaia online.......
#/mostly j but like#the site is Fucking Dead. the reason people left is because the creators. i think were forced to sell out? but they have the rights back.#they sold out either way. forced or not. and the new-old owners made changes that everyone hated & added stuff that completely obliterated#the economy. granted the economy is still fucked. and the best way to make money requires dedicating like 10 minutes out of your day#to find & collect all the daily rewards (there are a handful of forum posts that have all the dailies listed). most are items. few are good#some are money! or u can play one of their games thru like. an ancient version of WaterFox (firefox sister) & an old version of adobe flash#or thru adobe Air and thru gaia's very own app. which is ''being updated'' as of 2021......#i found it hard 2 play thru waterfox- the lag was fucking astronomical. it was gut-wrenchingly horrible. tho that might just b my experienc#the app is a lot easier to work with but the amt of gold/plat is usually wrong whenever i boot it up lol. either tells me an amt from like#a month ago. or it just tells me a completely bogus amt lmao. making money thru their game is its own struggle tho.#but besides selling stuff in the marketplace. there isn't really any other way to get money.#tl;dr the economy on gaia is still fucked. and to get anything good you have to commit to logging in daily. and even then it's gonna#take a while. But The Avis Are Cute. and imo they could use the traffic lmao#tho if yall DO decide to throw some traffic their way if ur old enough & qualified apply for mod/admin jobs bc their staff is TINY rn.....#it's pretty much ur average anime-centric forum. no frills. no glitter. just a good old-fashioned forum site lol#so hey..........maybe give gaia a try? ...... /not j?#like unless there are problems that i am completely oblivious to. tbf i dont spend a ton of time on there lmao. i'm in & out for the dailie#orignaletti

in prime earth canon, jason todd (NOT red hood) was* publicly known to be alive
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
red hood: outlaw (2018) #32 (ID in alt text)
considering that jason todd was the official owner of the iceberg lounge during this time, it's likely he acquired the lounge legally and thus can be inferred that he had to be declared legally alive to do so
which brings me to my point:
i've seen a lot of people writing/speculating the difficulties and limitations jason experiences bc he was declared legally dead after ethiopia, which is all well and good, and is fantastic fodder for angst
but i've been wondering if this was bc people are actively ignoring canon (valid) or simply didn't know that at one point* jason was publicly alive (also valid, bc following comics is a shitshow lol)
please reblog to increase visibility! the whole point of this poll is to gauge how many people know this, so i'd love to see this post reach as many people as possible. thank you~! 😅🙏
(* big disclaimer under the cut!)
note: all of this info is as of may 2023. i am only one human so it's impossible for me to read every comic jason has been in since rhato (2016) and remember every single thing that happened. if anything i said above the cut is incorrect now, i apologize! /o\
for reference, as of creating this poll i've read:
red hood and the outlaws (2016) #1-26
red hood: outlaw (2018) #27-52
task force z (2021) #1-12
batman: urban legends (2021) #1-6 – cheer pt.1-6
the joker: the man who stopped laughing (2022) #3-5
i haven't read a lot of other important runs like death metal (2020), three jokers (2020), robins (2021), etc. if jason (NOT red hood) was declared dead once again in any of those, that is the reason why i used "was" in the very first sentence of this post and reiterate that he was alive at least for a limited period
my bad that i missed his second legal death tho LOLLL
i'm also aware that red hood (NOT jason) was known as "dead" by others after task force z (even though he clearly didn't die). that said, in the little i've read of tj:tmwsl, it seems that 1) not everyone knows red hood is actually alive, and/or that 2) red hood died at all. again, if red hood is generally known to be alive after tfz, that's on me
if there's anything else i've missed, let me know!! i'll update/reblog this post for as long as the poll is up (-u-)b

I like to imagine that even though as an adult In-ho is this proper and polished gentleman, in his youth he was anything but. He was complete opposite LOL. Think about it, if it was 2021 and Inhun are in their 20's, Gi-hun would be posting new OOTD on insta and In-ho always hopping in his DM's like "damn. what that mouth do tho". Everytime Gi-hun mentions how he has to go take a shower to freshen up and In-ho's like "ahaha... without me? ;)". Kind of like Su-bong LMAO
Also the idea of Gi-hun being an insta baddie is *chef's kiss* slay 💅 Have you seen his face, his looks? I would die for him. My Helen of Troy. Literally the most beautiful person on earth
fuckboy inho 😭😭😭😭
u know when he's in his 40s and he is watching subong do some stupid shit like that he's cringing so hard and thinking to himself "how was i ever like that?"
he'd be vaping 24/7 (saw a video of lbh vaping and it changed something in me) and his opening message would be "hey, my dick just died, can i bury it in your ass?"
and yes my beautiful angel gihun would def be an insta baddie 😌💅 and when he dyed his hair red it was like a cultural reset and everybody and their mama was dyeing their hair red too

SHOUTOUT to idia for getting me into twisted wonderland
i aint realized the 3rd anni for twst en was today (i think if's today LOL)
i dont have anything to draw for it since i gotta look for a usb cable replacement around dah house for my drawing tablet
BUT YEAH UHHHH basically how i got into twisted wonderland in 2021 (yapping ahead):
in december 2020, on twitter i kept seeing drawings of this tall pale guy with blue lips and long blue fire hair and im like "he looks so cool....... i dont know his personality, but i like him already, he looks like a bug i could crush"
..... but then THIS card got revealed???? (someone tweeting about it) dude
Tumblr media
something in me switched when seeing that, like idk it was like my brain chemicals started dancing or smth— i said "OK I NEED TO KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS", so the next time i saw him in a tweet, i just googled in what i assumed was his name: "idia ignihyde" ??????
more yapping below the cut 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️
thats when i saw the twst wiki for the first time and learning he was "idia shroud" and that he was from the game that is now a part of my life + also learning that he is a twisted version of hades from hercules, aka one of my fav villains, aka the movie based on my fav mythology, aka the movie i still need to watch gahaha
plus i also had realized that the above card i saw was actually his 2nd bday card, which was only a few days away when i learned who idia was
and also when i learned about twst, it was unknowingly when the en version was releasing the following month so i had to get it when it dropped!
when going thru that beginning part where u gotta pic a dorm and a character from it, im surprised that i ended up picking malleus (the diasomnia music drew me in and i was like "ooo wait this malleus guy looks cool too???") this is an idia blog but im also an ABSOLUTE LOSER for malleus too, i even made a malleus blog too just for that LOL!!!
BUT YEAH THATS ALL I WANTED TO SAY!! happy 3rd anniversary twst en even tho im absolute ass at the mirror summons, at the end of the day im here for the main + event stories & the characters!

re introduction? / placeholder intro post until i find the time to make it prettier lol / looking for mutuals lol
hi lol
so i used to be super active here from 2016 to 2021 & then i stopped being active bc i moved my the majority of my social life onto discord between gaming & covering songs on youtube & then my discord acct last yr got hacked and then grad school took up my life and still is taking up my life lol
but now im kind of ish back bc i really miss having a community / rly want to find more people who enjoy the same interests as me, so i'd love to meet more mutuals lol & i just want to come back into the interests i used to love but stopped having time for slowly but surely
basic info ❥ my name is Silver ❥ i'm 24 yrs old (25 next month 💀) ❥ i'm a 2nd yr phd student in biomedical sciences lol and im suffering /hj ❥ despite this i only have one braincell ❥ i'm an INFJ Pisces Sun / Leo Moon / Gemini Rising
interests & the actual "looking for mutuals" post ❥ i'm a singer & audio mixer! i cover songs on youtube LOL (or at least i did when i wasnt drowning in school..... but i plan to get back into it lol ❥ i also love running fandubs LOL ive run one for a visual novel called andromeda six that i want to reset / get back into after i pass my qualification exam (uhh at least i hope i will) in may to get my masters bc i am drowning in work but i miss it sm ❥ i primarily cover kpop LOL dreamcatcher & ive are my favorite kpop groups but i love all girl groups from twice, red velvet, blackpink, baby monster, stayc, katseye, g-idle, mamamoo, oh my girl, etc. ❥ currently on a dead by daylight obsession phase - particularly i like watching the comp tournaments on youtube & reading dbd writing pieces, i dont currently play tho lmao ❥ i love astrology so much LOL i enjoy listening to astrology podcasts and learning the nitty gritty details about the math and houses and how it all works together! ❥ i also love tarot but haven't done a reading in forever lol ❥ i love playing visual novels / otome games! cupid parasite is my favorite but i love code realize and collar x malice as well. i also love indie visual novels like the arcana, cinderella phenomenon, and andromeda six
random facts that arent related to looking for mutuals at all ❥ literally im torn between "trying to be hopeful optimist that loves making connections and friendships bc friendship is really magic and what gets everyone thru the hard times" and "god. life is so hard and i feel so dead inside and my soul is gone half the time bc of school and the state of the world LOL" ❥ i feel really bad because i know i had a bunch of mutuals from various fandoms as friends on discord and i got hacked last yr LOL - i hope that everyone on that front is well (hence another reason for this long post and reblog on all of my accounts) ;w; and yea lmao ❥ lol/lmao are just my way of adding periods atp to every statement & my most used emote is the skull emote💀 ❥ i love looking at people's astrology charts LOL -- particularly my friends'
anyhow, thank u for reading! i hope we can become good friends and i'm wishing u a great day/night!

Just saw a tweet saying max has never lost a position during a SC restart since he joined RB. Now idk how reliable this stat is (lol) but u sometimes mention how his restarts are crazy so I was just wondering why are his restarts so good? Like what does he do taht the rest just isn't doing?
omfg my vertsussive ((😭??)) journalism era .. The stat is very reliable. Let's TALK ABOUT ITTT ‼️‼️‼️
Tumblr media
According to this op who checked specific time stamps for every VSC and SC deployed until 2021, available here, Max has driven behind 88 safety cars since he joined red bull, 103 total, and he never lost position on a single one. Which means he's either kept position or actually managed to overtake. He gained position 17 times. For comparison wid another yk pretty good driver, during the same period Lewis gained position 5 times, and only lost track position 3 times. All 3 to Max. Thats 2016-2021. I think Singapore 2022 ruined the record because I'm pretty sure Max lost position under the sc there. Idk how many times he's gained so far either, but I can think of a few races this year alone, so it wud be interesting to check. Hes been able to gain position for about 20% of restarts between 2016-2021, which is like .. not even comparable to other drivers numbers its his stat its definitely a Verstappen thing and the easiest way to explain it is: its a grey area, it allows for somebody wid enough nerve, skill and commitment to take ownership and use it for their own benefit. Enter the nerve, skill and commitment baddie, whos been haunting motorsport since before he cud vote.
SC restarts were cheat codes that inevitably lead to a verstappen amendment because FIA is bitches. During SCs Max liked to get his insane self right next to whoever was in front of him, and I mean RIGHT NEXT to the mf, and make them eat shit and d1e the moment they were allowed to restart. These are called 'restart tactics' I prefer 'jeddah appetizers'. Like literally he wud bully these men, run them wide or pinch them against walls like they owed him lunch money and then take off. This is still legal mind u, u can gain position after a SC, its literally racing, the updated rule last year was more of a 'fucking calm down Max' type of thing. Not the first of its kind, as we know. Even tho they kinda backtracked wid the first one and now u can twerk a lil bit under braking but not too much. I love f1. Anyway.
Article 55.14 of F1’s sporting rules states: “In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car returns to the pits, from the point at which the lights on the car are turned out, drivers must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic acceleration, or braking nor any maneuver which is likely to endanger other drivers or impede the restart."
--- BASICALLY, yall ((max)) can drive side by side, yall can weave to warm up the tires, but those lil ((Dutch)) footsies better keep it chill until sc is gone and maintain position. Now a casual wud read this and think, oh, so they nerfed him, he cant commit the crime anymore, but Max read that and thought oh, okay, so I'll literally just keep doing it, in a different way, and I'll gaslight other drivers into letting me do it ((literally, I'm not joking)). They said cars had to stay in position, they didn’t say how. They didnt say he couldnt simply keep his delta, in a situation where its practically impossible, and gain under the VSC, for example.
Max excels at rolling starts because one, the audacity 😐((I think sharl and lewis the only 2 drivers who ever managed to beat him at his own game)) two, the timing and skill is computer level of specific. It is a very VERY meticulous process, and it takes making hands-on decisions about multiple components, racing lines, tires, acceleration, lifting, in a very, very short amount of time. So pretty much Max SC restarts are him not beating the made in a lab allegations. But most sim racers, ex drivers, engineers, will just tell you that the reason he's so good at this is because he practices more than everybody else in the world, probably. U do it enough times and it becomes second nature, u know exactly how the car is gonna behave so what seems like 'instinct' and the product we see, as fans, a bunch of slow cars suddenly going ‼️‼️AHSHSHSHDJSHF actually takes a lot of thinking on their side. Max does a lot of thinking in the car he doesn't get credit for, because the mad max narrative is also such a huge part of who he is, and it is true, to a certain extent, but its not mindless aggression, never has been. Its a deliberate choice and its got a simple purpose: gaining or maintaining position. I'm not saying he never got too reckless or that he never pushed it, but he always did it for a reason, and he had full control of his car, always.
Thats the crucial difference between Max and somebody whos just aggressive, because if Max was truly just a meathead behind the wheel, he wud not be known for mastering one of the few aspects of racing that rests entirely on strategy and skill, the restart. Thats why doctor markonstein put his ass in an f1 car when he was 17, because if a teenager wid no experience and a temper can control an f1 machine to the point he becomes an actual threat, imagine what he can do in his 20s 😐. Maybe in his 20s he can lift less than a quarter of a second before the control line to stay behind the leader and be allowed to overtake him at the restart.
