I saw a post going around calling out race control/marshals for not communicating to the drivers (especially Lance) that George was stopped on track + the delay in calling for VSC.
The timing is certainly interesting, I do think race control could have responded a bit quicker but Lance knew about George's accident well before he approached the turn.
This is Lance approaching the sector where George crashed.
Note the screen signals a flashing yellow triangle, which is a double waved yellow, so Lance knew well before making the turn that there was imminent hazard and that the hazard was on track. (I'll be honest, the camera on that Aston belongs on an old Nokia, at first I thought it was a solid white flag lmao) This is also when Lance's engineer started saying "Yellow ahead, yellow ahead" - George was stopped in the section after that screen, so no marshals with yellows out at that point. So it's not accurate to say that Lance was surprised by George's car. Still, no VSC.
This is Lance's view after the turn - note the marshals frantically going at it with the double waved yellows signaling "DANGER AHEAD - OBJECT ON TRACK IN NEXT SECTOR" you can see the sector line in front of the marshaling post
Note the side screen which should mirror the marshaling post is still showing a white flag (????) - [I don't think it was flashing or showing a VSC, it looks like a solid white, but I can't tell because the video is too quick and the quality is poor. Also I can't see the VSC message on the steering wheel but feel free to correct me if y'all can make it out.] *EDIT* THE WHITE SCREEN IS NOT A SCREEN AT ALL, THAT WAS MY MISTAKE - It looks to be a sign of some sort
Then, just as Lance is passing by George, a VSC is called.
( ⬆️VSC screen location for reference)
(you can see the VSC screen in the distance starting to flash as Lance passes George)
Anyways, here's a good video on what the various panels mean (X) And here's a fab video on electronic marshaling and how it works (X)

Posting a picture of my previous foster kittens every day from now on to encourage myself to get my house in order so i can get new ones!
This, I believe, is Elfie, one of the Christmas Kittens. She's a little wet around the ears from treatment for an ear infection they were fighting. They hated it.

My fanfic A Lifetime from the Hunt is officially completed!
I have been posting these drawings one-by-one as the arcs came out but now that the fic is done might as well slap them all in one post!
It'd mean a lot if any Leo Valdez fan checked out the fic. I put a lot into it. And if anyone is reading this after completing the fic, thank you for sticking around! It really is appreciated :)))

Happy 9th anniversary for Undertale!! Yippee!!!!
I wanted to do a simple and cute thing for the anniversary, so I did this!! I kinda hate it, but maybe when I actually get some sleep I'll like it. I almost missed it, if it wasn't for the newsletter telling me about it, I'd have no clue.
Anyways, I love this game so much. It's very important to me, and I will always have room in my heart for this game. I just wish I did a better job showing my love for it :(

"When I look into your eyes I see
A facade, you are not trustworthy
You are my enemy
Faking your empathy
I was right to be wary
When you know how to pretend"

I feel so bad I haven't read your fics yet so I only know what I see on tumblr, I'm sorry.
But, for minor interference, will the boys keep up a gag in front of draxum for a really long time, like gaslighting him? I would feel bad except this is season 1 draxum so not as bad.
You don't have to answer if you don't want to <3
As a general rule, a lot of their tactics (in the fic at least) involve messing with his stuff rather than directly trying to mess with his head, if that makes sense. I have a list somewhere of all the crazy stuff they've done to annoy him so far, and while the exact strategies used varies from turtle to turtle, it's mostly stuff that they can explain away with "well I didn't think it'd be so annoying" or "i was really bored". I'd imagine that they're pretty good at knowing how to create enough reasonable doubt about their intentions to make it seem like all the chaos they cause is unintentional. (Or at least Donnie and Mikey are; Leo's chaos is completely unplanned half the time and Raph has absolutely no thoughts in his head when he does stuff like eating chess pieces bless him.)
There is one thing in particular that they might collectively agree to mess with Draxum on (and that's a big if because that would require actual planning and coordination between them. which is decidedly not their thing), and that's their names, because Draxum has not learned them. (He never asked and it's a bit late to ask now. It doesn't help that they all have four or five nicknames that get used frequently.) Once they figure that out, they might start actively lying to him about who's who and heckle him when he gets Mikey and Raph mixed up.
