2024 AZERBAIJAN GP

GEORGE: When I was a kid, I'd stay at home and I'd have breakfast in my [racing] suit. Like we have the HANS device in racing cars now, in go-karting you had a rib-protector (...) and I'd have breakfast with my rib-protector already on, my boots on, probably even my gloves as well! And I was ready for the day. So yeah, fashion wasn't really a thing back then!

the art teacher is so cool

the art teacher just turned on a video of Taylor Swift performing How You Get the Girl which has got to be one of my favorite Taylor songs.

now that most of my classes are over, i have a ton of free time now. what have i been doing with this free time? making a powerpoint explaining the entirety of the fnaf lore. my mom and i have been trying to heal our relationship. since she doesn't understand me (cliche ik, but true), i didn't share myself. she hates horror, i love it. but she said she was sad that she didn't even know what my interests are so that's why i'm making the powerpoint explaining the fnaf lore, so she can know me better even though i know she's going to hate all every part of fnaf. i was sick yesterday and my sister forgot to pick up one of our friends on the way to school because i wasn't there to remind her and now he has detention for being late to class lmao. Taylor Swift released her version of This Love last night and I'm in love with it it's SO GOOD.

today a friend texted me and asked me about people who have made impacts on me, real or fictional,. friends or strangers. some people have simply impacted me by making me feel less alone, making me feel seen. I didn't really include those people and my friend said i wasn't allowed to say Michael Afton smh. but i can't seem to stfu about him ever so i understand why she said that lmao. I'm totally not working on my third--wait maybe fourth--fanfic about him rn.... anyways here's a copy of what i told her about people who have impacted me:

tyler joseph and his band (twenty one pilots) convinced me not to 💀myself and gave me hope and showed me the importance of art, two of my teachers are like father figures to me so that's a huge impact on my personal growth, my middle school english teacher was the sweetest woman with the best roasts ever who i credit as making me into the writer i am today, lily sigh (iisuperwomanii) is a youtuber i grew up watching who made me laugh, feel safe, taught me important life lessons-through the years i watched her she basically raised me, when i was a little kid i loved ariel the little mermaid and she's the reason i'm a competitive swimmer today, gerard way is the lead singer of a band i used to be obsessed with and he encouraged me to be myself and showed me that i can survive hard times just like him, my favorite asmr creator, Gibi, comforted me and gave me rest when i was anxious and showed me it's okay to be into nerdy geek stuff no matter how old you are (she's like late 20s rn i think and her bedroom looks like a teen girl gamer room) my favorite twitch streamer nick smithyman never fails to make me laugh and interacts with his fans and makes a ton of your mom jokes. taylor swift taught me how to recover from breakups when i thought i never could and helped me express my feelings in a healthy way that no one else could and taught me that i can find happiness in myself, without needing anyone else.

i don't know if you can tell but i am most impacted through art more than anything else. i believe art is what makes us human. i could talk about the beauty of art and stories and storytelling forever. maybe i've already talked about here but idc. all of those things are what make us human. and when i say art i don't just mean visual art. music, poetry, filmmaking, video games, writing, architecture, speaking, dancing, anything that humans create is art and it tells a story. maybe it literally tells a story but even a story tells a story of the artist. whether the artist intended there to be a story or not, art tells a little story about who we are. art tells the story of an individual and tells a piece of a story of humanity. storytelling through art connects us all and that is why art of all kinds impacts people so strongly. this is why i want to work in a library, surrounded by my favorite kind of art that i can indulge in and best of all, share it with others.

maybe i just repeat myself over and over again but i'm okay with that.

Episode 111, part 1!!!1!

Kaiba’s finding out shit about this Noah punk but Noah has zipped away to deal with the Big Five. Back in his weird floating chair he has an awkward teleconference with them and gives out to them for attempting to steal bodies outside of the designated body-stealing zone.

Sick burn from a kid who has literally no friends ever.

(I presume he thinks that’s circumstantial and if he ever met anyone who wasn’t a kidnap victim, he’d make friends with them SUPER easily and without brainwashing them with eye lasers AT ALL.)

Anyway four of the Big Five are pissy cause they don’t have bodies, having failed in their attempts to rightfully (?) win the bodies by dueling the owners of the bodies in a trading card game. One of them DOES have a body, despite losing the trading card game. He claims he won Honda’s body fair and square. The others mock him. Noah’s like omg smh stfu idc 

and then for some reason Noah is like, okay adult criminals, you get One More Chance, you can duel someone and if you win, you can steal whatever bodies you want I guess smh idc

of course. whatever. great. more card games.

MEANWHILE, the reunited Nerd Herd, guest starring Kaiba, is walking down a road when Kaiba suddenly gets fed up and turns to walk the other way and the others are all like, hey now buddy where are you going don’t leave us which, like, none of all y’all have the first fucking idea where you’re going, just follow Kaiba if he wants to walk the other direction, like?? but they don’t and instead, Anzu sprints ahead of him and confronts him 

He’s like, I’m going to go find Mokuba and that’s private KaibaCorp(tm) business so I’ll sue you if you come along, or something equally reasonable, and Anzu’s like, uhh we’re worried about you and Mokuba whether you like it or not also we’ve all been KIDNAPPED here so jot that down, and also... 

And Kaiba’s like, maybe if I just don’t look directly at her she’ll stop talking to me with her facts and her rational points and her human emotions, so he just, like, turns his head to face away, exactly like a cat

And then he’s like, hey if worrying about friends is a thing you want to do how about you worry about THAT friend over there and points behind them and they all turn and he runs away, I swear to god

“Nailed it. Kaiba out.”

Honestly I think this would have worked pretty well even if there HADN’T been a worrying friend on a nearby cliff, but there was, so he makes a clean break.

So while the Nerd Herd face down their fallen comrade, now inhabited by a corporate executive (this show is such a trip), Kaiba heads off on his lonesome to find Mokuba and brood, not in that order.

Firstly, WOW is this episode animationally inconsistent. USE CHARACTER MODELS, YOU FUCKING NERDS.

Secondly, again, I strongly criticise this writing decision. Seto and Noah didn’t have to look alike, the writers chose to make them look alike. The story plays out exactly the same if they don’t look alike, because Seto was never Noah’s body double or anything. Dead people can’t be choosers. It’s important that SETO choose GOZABURO, it’s an important part of Seto’s characterisation. He targets someone he knows has power and wealth, and challenges him in a way he’s calculated to be likely to succeed. Gozaburo picking Seto out and then going along with Seto’s chess gambit, always intending to adopt them anyway, puts way too much of the control back in Gozaburo’s hands.

Anyway, since Noah told him he was Gozaburo’s son but his current age doesn’t line up right at all, Kaiba decides that one of two things must be true. Either Noah is lying about what happened, or...

(appose lol)

I think it’s VERY TELLING that this is the only other solution Kaiba came up with. They’re in a VIRTUAL REALITY, Noah could easily be 34 and just a fucking weirdo who uses a child avatar. Noah could be Gozaburo in disguise. Noah could be someone else from Gozaburo’s past, like an ex-wife or a best friend or the creepy butler dude. Noah could be an AI spooling plausible nonsense from Seto’s memories like one of those bots that tries to write recipes or whatever based on pattern recognition. 

But no, Kaiba jumps straight for...

“How does that always happen to me?”

In fact, Kaiba thinks...

It amuses me a lot that Kaiba came up with the ghost theory ON HIS OWN and then ascribed it to “Yugi’s occult garbage” like excuse me sir this is 100% home-grown occult garbage, farmed organically in your own brain. He obviously just misses Yami.

All this time, Kaiba was climbing up an incredibly long flight of stairs and one would wonder why, since it’s a virtual reality and any direction is as likely as any other so why not walk downhill? But it’s because he wants to stand on the top of the landform and shout.

It’s more like MOKUBAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

“YOU’RE GROUNDED FOR A MONTH UNLESS YOU UNKIDNAP YOURSELF RIGHT NOW, KID”

It is unclear if Mokuba can hear him, but Noah, still in his floating chair can; he’s watching him on a screen. Noah asks Mokuba if Mokuba wants to go back to Seto, but Mokuba is still very brainwashed

:(

Y’know, I know, redemption is always a fun what-if, and Noah wasn’t all bad in the end, etc etc, but this shit - separating the brothers, dredging up their worst traumas, and then brainwashing Mokuba completely into a puppet - is why I can never get behind Noah getting included in fluffy Kaiba bros shit. Like whatever you’re into, but I find it jarring to be reading/admiring fanwork and I’m like “aww Kaiba and Mokuba buying each other cute presents OH GOD NOAH IS HERE RUN”

Anyway, gazing out from the top of his shouting-hill, Kaiba sees a familiar sight

FOG! I mean, Kaibaland.

[ittybittylittlebit-hot]

so i haven’t spoken about a certain thing and i truthfully didn’t want to because of a few reasons:

the people involved were mutuals of my mutuals

i was really hurt because i lost someone really important to me

i don’t like to give toxic people more attention than they deserve

i have never and will never spread lies about what happened or tell someone what happened because what happened was between me and that person. i’m not that type of person and those who actually know me, know that i’m not. even if a mutual asked me (and it has happened), i simply say “we had a disagreement and decided to part ways” and i leave it at that. it’s no one’s business and i never want to be the reason behind someone not writing with someone or someone not being someone’s friend. everyone is entitled to their own judgment and it’s not my place to try to tamper with that. if this person wants to assume i’m the reason behind their loss of friends or followers, then you do you boo but guess what? i’m not. i don’t waste any time or energy over you, so how is that my fault? it’s been over 5 months. like, i literally moved on like a mature adult and went about my life.

did i take advantage of this person like they claim? not a fucking chance. two other people have seen the interaction of what went down, the bitch was more than willing so stfu. you’re not as dumb and naive as you claim. you wanted to do what you did and you did. you’re already notorious to have a victim mentality and guess what? ya still do. i didn’t realize it until i witnessed it and wow, i was fucking dumb for letting you get in my head and convincing me that i owed you something. i even watched you do it to someone i was really close to which cost me my friendship with them. you’re good. i’m surprised you don’t have a fucking oscar by now for best actress. you knew what you were doing and you can try to manipulate whoever will listen all you want, either way, i really don’t care. and the people who want to stand by you and believe your lies, they can do that because they’ll eventually see how toxic you actually are. whether its tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. it always comes out. which is why i don’t waste my breath or energy on you and have let karma take the reigns because that bitch knows how to give it to someone when they truly deserve it.

im not saying anything else about it. there is so much more i can say about this person but i choose not to. i choose to take the higher road. i’ve blocked them, blacklisted them, & blocked their number (5 months ago i did this, nothing has changed.) i’m only posting this little tidbit because i was told about a certain post that was implying bullshit about me. believe me, i dont want anything to do with you. im really annoyed that i’m even taking time to write this right now. why would i waste my breath talking to people about you? people are allowed to follow who they want to. idc. to each their own. also, i haven’t even really been on here as much nor have i talked to people so????? like if that’s what you need to convince yourself that it’s not you being the reason why they unfollowed then that’s on you. whatever helps you sleep at night. i legit had nothing to do with it cuz again, i dont waste my breath or energy on you. 

thank u, next.
