Invasive Species and Xenophobia

Invasive species are complicated! People have a lot of feelings about them, positive and negative. Are plants that move "invaders" "colonizing", "immigrants", "citizens"? What does it mean to kill species that are from somewhere else? What if that species legitimately makes a poor neighbor and causes extinctions in other, native species? This complex, culturally-loaded issue is a foundational issue behind a lot of plant conservation and restoration.

This is a juicy and still actively disputed topic! The Guardian recently had a big article on colonialism in Botany, (tbh her views are dated and reductive, imo) and it’s come up again this week, to much hostility (cw: reddit). Yes, my region's native plant restoration came from literal nazis, but also, the impacts of some invasive species are real, not figments of a racist imagination. How do we balance these issues? What does ethical invasive management look like?

Since it’s such a juicy topic, I wanted to offer a few fun readings to share:

The Native Plant Enthusiasm: Ecological Panacea or Xenophobia?, Gert Gröning and Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, 2004, Arnoldia.

THE CLASSIC 20th century German nazis and native plants paper. Made a huge splash when it came out, and you will still encounter people who paint all native plant stuff with this brush. Summary: yeah the nazis loved their native plants and used them as part of their conquering process. Also, the first prairie plantings ever, located in Chicago, were done by a racist probable-nazi for racist reasons, full stop. I’ll let him speak for himself: “The gardens that I created myself shall… be in harmony with their landscape environment and the racial characteristics of its inhabitants. They shall express the spirit of America and therefore shall be free of foreign character as far as possible… the Latin and the Oriental crept and creeps more and more over our land, coming from the South, which is settled by Latin people, and also from other centers of mixed masses of immigrants. The Germanic character of our race, of our cities and settlements was overgrown by foreign character. The Latin spirit has spoiled a lot and still spoils things every day.” - Jens Jensen

Botanical decolonization: rethinking native plants, Tomaz Mastnak, 2014, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space

Rather than viewing native plant plantings as an act of racially-pure occupation, Mastnak positions native plants in California as a decolonization of the sub/urban lawn. Uses a lot of quotations from 16th century English philosopher Francis Bacon, and is heavy on the philosophical musings.

From killing lists to healthy country: Aboriginal approaches to weed control in the Kimberley, Western Australia by Bach et al., 2019, Journal of Environmental Management.

This paper talks through some of the native vs invasive debate, and offers a different perspective on how to approach to plant invasive management based on cultural relations, rather than country of origin or behavior.

Beyond ‘Native V. Alien’: Critiques of the Native/alien Paradigm in the Anthropocene, and Their Implications, Charles R. Warren, 2021, Ethics, Policy, & Environment

DENSE but thorough, if you want to follow the entire history of the native/invasive debate, this has you covered. The most interesting stuff, in my opinion, is the discussion of invasive denialism, IE: the impasse of “You’re just being racist!” Vs “You know nothing about ecology!” I recommend the Discussion, which starts on page 13.

Tillie teasing \\ Mapi Leon x reader

2017

Stepping off the plane in Barcelona, the heat immediately hits you in the face. After clearing customs and collecting the many bags you've brought, a woman holding a sign with your name and the Barca logo under it waves you down. You find out she's the assistant manager and that the team sent. After anxiously fiddling with your fingers, the car turns into Barca's training centre. Backpack in hand, you follow the assistant manager as you meet all the behind the scenes people.

When meeting the team, you look eyes with who you believe is 'Maria'. She smiles at you and holds her hand out for you to take. When someone starts speaking to the both of you, your hands drop and a subtle blush both of your cheeks. You nod as you got the basics of the conversation, something about you and Mapi and an apartment. A soft nudge in your ribs turns you towards the brunette. She holds out her phone and you see google translate on.

Looks like we'll be seeing more of each other beautiful. They are putting us in the same apartment.

You smile and point to her phone as to say you want to type something. She nods and you type away.

Can't wait gorgeous :)

After the flirty interaction, you both move to the locker room and field to check it out. Since you both don't have to participate in this training, coach says you can go home and rest. The same driver from the airport takes you and Mapi to the apartment.

2019

Throughout the 2018/19 season, you, Alexia and Mapi become the Aussie/Spanish trio no one needed but everyone loved. You taught them English and they taught you Spanish in return, allowed Barca to organise more media interviews in the 2nd language. Alexia noticed over the last couple of years how smitten you both are with each other so she decided now is the time to meddle.

"Hola y/n/n, are you free tomorrow at 7?" Alexia asks as she swings an arm over your shoulder.

"Yeah, why?"

"Maps, are you free?" Alexia ignores your question as she turns to Mapi on her other side.

"Depends"

"Great. I'm not so enjoy your date chicas!"

You and Mapi look at each other before laughing at what had just happened. You and Mapi walk to the car talking about who should plan the date.

Safe to say the date led to both of you confessing your love for each other and the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

2020

Before anyone realised, the world was shit down due to covid. You were extremely anxious the first few weeks as the area in Australia where your family and friends live got Covid first. Then you and Mapi saw how fast it was spreading in Spain. Mapi had been your rock through it all. She always was there to distract you from the news from outside. Since you were in lockdown with the rest of the world, you couldn't see your best friends from the Tillies so you all had to resort to Zoom calls.

"So y/n/n, what's up with you and Mapi?" Macca teases as she wriggles her eyebrows in a playful way.

"Nothing is go- hola bebé" Mapi leans over and kisses you quickly before you realise how she's dressed.

"Nothing going on my ass!" Sam yells out, focusing you back on the call.

"Okay we're dating but you cannot tell a single soul. I mean it"

"Oooh protective y/n/n"

2021

Early in this year, the Tillies had a camp in Australia for the Olympics qualifers for Tokyo. Spain had a break during this time so Mapi though she'd come and support you and you girls (but you didn't know that). Currently; you, Sam, Macca, Caitlin, Steph and Alanna are eating breakfast when the woman of the hour calls you. Macca looks at your phone and her eyes go wide at the name.

"Hola bebita"

You stand up and move away from the table to escape their teasing, oh how wrong you were. When you come back the girls are making kissy faces at you and you shush them before anyone sees.

"How's lover girl?" Sam asks with a mouthful of banana.

"Fine, bored without me I think"

"Yeah, I bet she is" Macca mumbles before being elbowed by Caitlin.

A few hours later, you all arrive at the stadium for teh game against China. You are in the starting lineup alongside Sam and Caitlin. For some reason you are nervous, even though you shouldn't be. You receive a text from Mapi of her decked out in your yellow jersey and dark green shorts.

Maps 🔥: not sure which one you're wearing so I'll wear both :) good luck out there mi amor, go qualify for the olympics <3 p.s. i love you princesa 😘❤️'.

You: we're wearing the yellow so your pants need to come off now? 😉 Thank you for watching mi amor, it means a lot ❤️ p.s.s. i love you too. talk after xx

With a boost of confidence, you walk out with your team and made sure you win. After the first half, Australia was still goalless, sam eas China. Going back on the pitch, everyone gives it their all then disater struck. China got a goal. 1-0. You gave Sam and Caitlin the look and you all work in overdrive. Meanwhile in the stands, Mapi was stressing. She knows how important this game and any Matildas games are to you. Normal game time finished and 4 extra minutes were added. You look up and see the extra time and yell to the girls. Within 2 minutes of that, you get a through ball from Caitlin and non one is around so you take a shot. You know it's going in but you check anyway and start running around like a crazy person. Alanna pushes you down and starts a dog pile. The game quickly restarts and then the whistle blows for full time. You wave out to the crowd and see the familiar neck tattoo. You run over to your mismatched girlfriend and hug her tightly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wanted to surprise you princesa"

You respond by kissing her and pulling away before too many teammates saw.

"I fly out tomorrow. Are you coming with me?"

"Of course, I'll change the flight tonight"

"Meet me at the hotel and you can stay with me" Mapi nods and gives you a quick kiss before moving back for the fans to meet you.

Little do you know, your best friends were watching the whole interaction. You walk back to your friends and they start making kissy faces so you walk away, making them look like idiots.

Back at the hotel, Mapi is waiting texting you every minute if you're here. You get inside and spot her instantly. Mapi feels two arms go around her waist and a kiss on her cheek, she relaxes instantly.

"Ready for bed?"

"Let me get my bag from my room and I'll come?" You nod before telling her the room number. A small peck and she's off towards the elevator.

You feel a sharp slap on you back and you look towards Macca, giving her a death glare.

"I'll stay with Lani tonight"

"Thanks Macca"

After going up to your room, you see Mapi waiting outside. You sneak up on her again and she give you a hard glare. The door unlocks and Mapi walks in, dropping her bag at the foot of the messy bed. Since you showered at the stadium, you get straight in bed signalling mapi to join you. You quickly change Mapi's flights and she's now on the same flight back sitting next to you. You cuddle up to the Spaniard and try not to fall asleep.

"Bebé?" Mapi whispers.

"Hmm?"

"I want to post us" You open your eyes and look confused and the heavily tatted woman.

"You want to announce us on Instagram?" You confirm and Mapi nods. You show Mapi the photo that one of the staff had taken and sent to you. Mapi agrees and you post it.

dating history in my . . . SINGER REALITY

─ the real list is short, despite what critics may say. the speculated list, however? well, that's another thing. love stories built from lies and paparazzi propaganda. shall we start with what's real?

⋮ ⌗ . . . jamie campbell bower

jamie and i met through mutual friends when i was seventeen. i fell in love with him almost immediately—but thought we would never happen, since he was... well, older. he was twenty-nine when we first met.

in november 2019, 7 months after my 18th birthday, jamie and i publicized our relationship that had begun in august. he was everything i wanted in a boyfriend—charming beyond belief, ever so respectful, the sweetest man i knew. my london boy.

many critics didn't agree with our relationship, especially due to the age gap (twelve years). hateful articles claimed jamie was pedophilic, that he was taking advantage of me.

let it be known that none of that was true.

towards the end of our relationship, jamie and i began to want different things. he was in his early thirties at this time, and was thinking about settling down. i was nineteen, and didn't want that at all.

thus began the beginning of the end. a publicized breakup in august of 2021, an on-and-off situationship that didn't truly end until august of 2022.

arguably the worst time of my life was the breakup.

written about him . . .

╰┈➤ butterflies (august 8, 2020) — my debut album

╰┈➤ casual? (september 10, 2022) — my first EP

╰┈➤ the exit (january 11, 2023) — my first single

╰┈➤ mirrorball (december 1, 2023) — my second EP

╰┈➤ ghosts (august 18, 2024) — my second album

╰┈➤ naked (january 23, 2025) — my third single

as you can probably tell, getting over him and the relationship was a very long (and difficult) process.

p.s. he never did settle down, after all. not without me.

⋮ ⌗ . . . yungblud, aka dominic harrison

dom came to one of my shows in 2020. it was my first tour, while he'd been touring before, and he gave me tons of advice. we really hit it off, and became extremely close. he's one of my closest friends.

again, we're seen together a lot. both of us are rather physical people, i suppose, so sometimes it kind of looks like we're all over each other. (i fear we are)

i'll admit, we have hooked up a few times. nothing serious, no real feelings involved, just... best friends. (with benefits). was he my rebound after jamie? maybe. did he just... happen to be there when i needed someone? also maybe.

⋮ ⌗ . . . charles leclerc

charles and i met years before we became friends, when i was about twelve and he was fourteen. i'd always been interested in motorsport, and began following his career when he was still in karting. the first time we met was in his last year of karting, when my father arranged a little meet and greet because he knew i had a little crush on charles.

our meeting wasn't anything special. a picture together. he complimented my ferrari t-shirt, and I told him he was going to become my favorite formula one driver one day. he laughed, said "we'll see about that", and that was that.

we met again in 2021 at the silverstone grand prix, a few months before jamie and i publicized our breakup. nothing happened, of course. he was in a relationship at the time, as was i. we became friends, though, occasionally hanging out when he had time between races.

it wasn't until about 2024 that we became much closer. he had broken up with his girlfriend in 2023, and i was still grieving the loss of my relationship with jamie. we began dating casually — i'd come to some of his races when i could, he came to a few of my shows, we'd meet for lunch or dinner.

casual dating turned into serious dating. love letters he'd read before races, whispers that i was his lucky charm, flying back and forth to see him. we publicized our relationship in april of 2025, but it had been going on since about february when we spent valentines day together.

he's my everything. my world. the air i breathe. my soulmate, of course.

written about him . . .

╰┈➤ fever dream (november 9, 2025) — my third album

╰┈➤ better people to leave on read (september 2, 2026) — my fourth single

there will definitely be more written about him as our relationship progresses !!

⋮ ⌗ . . . billie eilish

billie and i have known each other since we were really young, and we've been best friends ever since. she's definitely my platonic soulmate, but that's it.

billie was my first kiss when we were teenagers — her 13, me 15 — but we never had feelings for each other.

since me and her are so close and are seen together all the time, the media loves to assume we're dating.

like, no. platonic friendships exist.

⋮ ⌗ . . . timothée chalamet

timmy and i met years ago, when we were teenagers. we've been friends ever since. he's practically part of my family, like one of my brothers.

honestly, it's kind of gross how the media takes things out of context. a photo from my instagram of timothée and i in a hotel room, cropped to exclude my brother, is pretty much the only "evidence" of our so-called love affair

⋮ ⌗ . . . thomas depp

this one's just diabolical. THAT IS MY TWIN BROTHER. saw articles about our "romance" and lost my actual mind because what the fuck...

the only reason this speculation began is because some random news platform took a photo of me kissing tom on the cheek and ran with it. HUHHH.

disgusting. like um. what the fuck. and when they were called out THEY DOUBLED DOWN IT AND TRIED TO MAKE OUT LIKE TOM AND I WERE ACTUALLY DATING AND IT WAS TWINCEST. sued them so hard for this shit because no actual way...

no you did not see yungblud switch categories what are you talking about xx

[teamnick]

So...as someone asked if i could do a part 2 of my favorite piarles moments and i said yes...here we go ig. 😅 (here is part 1)

2017 mini interview with ted kravitz...they are babies here omg, with adorable accents, talking about wanting to be like Kimi or Lewis...practicing their autographs...🥹🥹

Pierre supporting Charles at the Prema pitwall, in his first F2 race after his father's death. Their friendship is soso special, even when you take away all the shippy aspects of it. They genuinely care about each other and the love is always there. 💗

In the same way, they were there for one another in 2019 when Anthoine passed away, comforting each other in the ferrari motorhome...Pierre asking Charles to win for their friend (as Pierre no longer had the machinery to do so). And Charles has done it. 🫶

2019 secret santa!! Charles has gifted Pierre a team radio recording of both screaming - Charles after his win in Spa, Pierre after his P2 at Interlagos. I just think its such a thoughtful and funny gift, and Pierre is such a cutie omg..."It's Charles, no? Makes sense now, everything makes sense. Me and Charles are basically saying the same thing...well that's not the first time! 😃" (sir, pls elaborate??)

Them almost arriving late to one of the FPs in Brazil 2022 because of...traffic. Yes. Sure. 😌😌 look at these idiots (affectionate):

A video interview with Pierre in 2021 where one of the questions was "choose one driver to take on a desert island"... ofc he chose Charles and his reasoning is fascinating to me. "He's the one I have the most fun with...he's the one I know the longest, and I know we will not argue...thats important to me."

Piarles asking some passengers on a late-night flight to move so that they could sit together PLS. thats just too cute.

Whatever was going on in Monza 2019...as someone said, if you look up carnal desire in the dictionary, they'd show you this:

Matching outfits in the eras tour (which could mean nothing!!):

Monaco hug in 2024. All. Time. The way Charles' smile becomes brighter when he sees its Pierre...Pierre's huuuge grin...him calling Charles the prince of Monaco later on in his own interview aksjfjdks all the feels!!

Monaco tennis date 2023...they looked sooo good and relaxed, having fun...🥹🫶

I could go on and on, but then this post would be never-ending 😅 so i'm gonna stop here...and everyone is more than welcome to share their favorite piarles moments with me via dm or an ask, i'm curious! 🥰

Shouting at his first ever on-air caller would be just his fucking luck. “Hi, Patrick? Yes, who do I speak to about the fact that you’ve played six Lumineers songs in the last hour?” * Patrick is a late-night folk radio DJ, David is the owner of a car with a broken radio dial and opinions that need to be shared.

Instead of confessing to the fact that, while she is pregnant, she hasn’t really made any decisions regarding the future of the pregnancy and baby, she pretends to be offended, like she might have been had she not been pregnant, dramatically crying, “Oh, my God, that’s so mean!” (what if alexis was actually pregnant in "the pregnancy test"?)

Nice Guys Finish Last [david/patrick, E, 5,080] by @spiffymittens

A little part of David hoped that, if he played his cards right, Patrick might help him relax the way they sometimes did for each other when one of them had had a rough day. Because nothing says 'I love you' like a glass of wine (or in Patrick’s case, a tumbler of bourbon) and a blowjob on the couch. Or, David has a bad day, and Patrick makes it better—but not quite how David expected.

(Not) Being Left Behind Again [david/patrick, E, 4,141] by @shimmies

He’s never, not once in his life, felt this much nervous excitement, and definitely not with Rachel. Part of him wonders if something about the emotions or adrenaline of the day they met inflated the idea of David in his mind, that having David as more than a fleeting memory would somehow diminish the reality of him. But in his gut, the instincts Patrick's trusted to get him this far, he feels anything but that.-----Or, a sequel to Canadian Roads.

MONIQUE & HER LOVES.

tw: mentions of heartbreak, drug abuse

nam joohyuck [ 2016 - 2018 ]

relationship in a nutshell: wanted each other to be someone they weren't.

nam joohyuck was monique's first relationship - her first love. the pair originally met in 2014 through mutual friends, monique was hanging out with her close friends who had made it into the industry, and her friend invited her boyfriend and a few of her friends. joohyuck was one of them. after that, monique kept seeing him around. at events SM took her to, to get her name out there, on the streets, and even at coffee shops. joohyuck always caught her eye. they became close friends, monique had a blossoming crush on him for a whole year before she gained the courage to make moves.

when they finally got together - monique swore she found the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with. joohyuck and monique were the happiest couple around, all their peers agreed. constantly smiling and laughing. monique was very busy after debuting, but joohyuck understood all too well. he brought her flowers, coffee, and had snacks delivered when she was at the company late. he'd sneak out with her, take her on dates, and love her like she was the most perfect girl in the world. it was all monique could ever dream of.

she didn't imagine herself with anyone else, joohyuck agreed. but after a year and a half, the couple found it hard to keep saying that. they had a hard time seeing eye to eye. minuscule arguments turned into heated arguments. nights where they would stay up staring in each others eyes, turned into nights with slamming of car doors and tearful eyes. monique called it off, tired of the arguing. the breakup made her lose her soul, it took her a whole year to move on. she wishes joohyuck the best always, and for years she would find herself wondering how things would be if they were still together.

this relationship remained private, and the public never knew anything about it. there was a few speculations about it after monique released her solo album, but nothing huge ever resulted from it.

kim yugyeom [ 2019 — 2021 ]

relationship in a nutshell: one night stand turned into taking you to dinner with my parents

yugyeom and monique both knew of each other fairly well, due to a handful of interactions between got7 and nct 127. at the time, monique still couldn't imagine herself with anyone that wasn't joohyuck. but she hated to admit that she was starting to get lonely. as bad as it sounded at the time, she knew she needed to find someone who could cure her loneliness, just for a little bit. just for a night.

so, monique went out with a few of her friends, hoping to find someone that made her feeling something, made her feel anything. after a few shots, she accidently bumped into yugyeom. yugyeom was shocked to see her there - got7 had invited 127 for dinner a couple times, but monique never joined. the pair got along fairly well, and eventually, one thing led to another, and monique woke up to him the next morning.

monique wanted it to be a one night thing only, but the frequent texts from yugyeom and the aching in her heart didn't help to keep her strong - so she visted yugyeom, again. and again, and again, and eventually, she was spending the night at yugyeom's house every other night. he made her feel something, and helped her ignore the pit of loneliness in her gut too, but monique started to realize she was starting to enjoy yugyeom's company, instead of just the nights in bed. she found herself going over to the apartment just to talk to him, and she found comfort in simply sitting on his couch and watching a movie with him. she realized after a month of them hanging out together, that he brought her peace. he took her out to dinner, and then monique really had to stop lying to herself. she was falling in love, again.

monique was scared to fall in love again, and she was very hesistant to let down her walls again, to get attached too quickly. but it was hard to resist yugyeom, with his gentle smile and his gentle hands. even though she got constant teasing from 127 due to her being older than yugyeom, they couldn't deny that the man made her happy.

after a year of dating, monique and yugyeom moved in together. their apartment became the apartment, they had friends over almost every weekend, and they spent so much time decorating it. it was beautiful, and their relationship was almost perfect. but, monique wanted a family. yugyeom didn't, and he didn't want to hold monique back. so he left, he left her and the apartment, alone.

this relationship went public after the couple had dated for a year (2020), and when they spilt, the companies released information about it on the same day, describing the breakup as "mutual", and due to "personal reasons".

ahn bohyun [ 2021 — 2022 ]

relationship in a nutshell: lots of sexual tension turned into fake dating turned into lovers…scandalous due to age gap.

bohyun and monique met on the set of my name - and monique couldn't help but build a little crush with her costar during filming (can we blame her). bohyun had this charm, that seemed to almost instantly make monique's knees buckle. everyone could sense the tension between bohyun and monique during filiming, they would make small fliratous jokes or perhaps be a little bit too touchy, and it seemed as if they were playing a game with each other.

after filiming was wrapped up, the team had a celebratory dinner, and this was were monique and bohyun truly let themselves go. they had a couple drinks, and they sat next to each other the whole night. they couldn't stop whispering in each other's ears, and bohyun couldn't help himself from putting his hands on monique. there was no hiding their desire.

they had a fling, but they didn't really have any intentions of having anything serious. but, monique was facing a lot of hate, for two main reasons. one was for her last relationship, netizens were tearing her up over the fact that yugyeom left her. and another reason, netizen's also got ahold of the news from lyon, france, where they found out that monique's dad had gotten arrested for participating in various drug trades. the makers of my name were worried that the show wouldn't do good - and seeing how much chemistry there was between monique and bohyun, they proposed the pair to fake date to get interest in the show. and it worked, monique and bohyun had rules, where they only did couple things in public, and then went on their own ways after. but, sometimes, it was hard to distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

eventually, monique and bohyun realized that they had actually fallen for each other. they had a good relationship, but it didn't last long. the pressure was too much for the two of them, especially since the public thought they were in love for so long. the public was devastated, but for once, monique found herself to be okay.

this relationship was public, obviously, but the public doesn't know that it was a fake relationship for the first half of the relationship. when they split, the companies released a statement that the couples had conflicting schedules, as well as that they decided they'd be better off as friends. which, monique and bohyun still talk occansionly, purely platonic!

jeon wonwoo [ 2022 — present ]

relationship in a nutshell: you were all i ever needed, why didnt i see it sooner?

wonwoo and monique had been best friends for so long, they had been friends for seven years before they started dating. wonwoo was there for monique through all of the heart break, and never once left her side. he was someone she could always trust, someone that could always bring a smile to her face. same for him. they always had each other when they needed somebody.

when wonwoo realized he had feelings for his best friend, he hated himself for it. he didnt want to ruin the friendship, and he didn't want to put through monique through pain. so he held it down, he held down his feelings for three years, and then he realized that he could not longer bite his tongue. he confessed to her - and like he expected, monique was shocked. she didn't know what to say or how to react. so, wonwoo gave her space.

a few weeks later, she came around. and she realized, that she had some feelings too. she knew too well that she loved him stronger than a best friend, but she never thought that wonwoo would ever feel the same.

they took time getting into their relationship, and now, they are stronger than ever, and so in love. wonwoo was the man monique needed, and monique is the woman wonwoo needed. they are set to marry soon, and they are so filled with love and joy. it's the happy ending they both deserve!!

the couple went public in 2023, and announced their engagement in the spring of 2024!

Summary: pt4 of Team Purple Series

Carmen is apprehensive about change, even if it's good. Moving on feels more like abandoning what was once classed as enough. Circumstances morph, people grow and have to move on, it's the circle of life and something she will have to accept. But it doesn't hurt to try and start things off on a good foot for the ones you're leaving behind.

[brakingpoint]

i missed your answer but happy day of the lord i'd love you to rank drivers by hotness because i think you're hilarious

you know what it's been like three days of the lord since you sent this but i've finally got bevved on one of them so let's go. i do not believe in rankings so i will instead be offering my commentary in current drivers championship standings order

max verstappen - i wont lie i know he's not everyone's cup of tea but i do find him quite sexy. do not understand the overwhelming tit hype on this website because this man would have to clench for his life to fill a victoria's secret training bra but it's fine because his beautiful autistic rizz and enchantingly bold nose make up for it. points deducted because i can tell his skincare routine is dish soap

lando norris - 2019 lando norris is like, i am honestly too old to have found him sexy if i'd been into f1 at the time bc even though we're only like 2/3 years apart in age he looks about 5 years younger than me. but i can completely get how if you were like 16 at the time he would seem like the cutest boy on the planet. like up all night era one direction vibes you know. unfortunately his 2024 styling with the weird desperate attempt at facial hair makes him look like a man who uses snapchat for evil

charles leclerc - objectively beautiful man crafted by the gods themselves but i can't honestly say he makes me feel anything carnally. i look at him as i would a marble sculpture in a museum

oscar piastri - he is not a bad looking guy but he does nothing for me. partially an age thing and partially his complete lack of rizz. he doesn't have time to be sexy he's got a job to do and that job is scaring the pants off lando norris every time he's within DRS range

carlos sainz - sometimes i think he is one of the top 10 sexiest men ever to exist on the planet and sometimes i think he looks like that really angry eagle off the muppets. he's got to work the right angles

lewis hamilton - much like charles leclerc he is someone who is so deeply objectively sexy that it almost reverts to me feeling nothing wait a second somebody just beamed psychic images of those interviews from like singapore 2019 where he had his hair up but with a couple bits framing his face so gorgeously and now i can't form words or think of anything else

george russell - the thing you have to understand is i went to oxford and i went clubbing a lot in oxford and so i have made out with a number of george russell lookalikes that is easily in the double figures. and i have zero regrets

sergio perez - he's not sexy he is like a cabbage patch doll whose nose i want to boop so fondly as i very gently whisper in his ear to DRIVE FUCKING FASTER

fernando alonso - i don't find him sexy but at the same time i can understand why lance stroll does

nico hulkenberg - i feel like you either have to be a really really straight woman or a really really gay european man to find him hot. and i am unfortunately neither

lance stroll - i'm refraining from answering until he grows his hair back out. at which point i will still refrain from answering but moreso for my own dignity

yuki tsunoda - we must not underestimate the rizz of a man so short he could be a back up dancer on sabrina carpenter's short 'n' sweet tour. i can unequivocally say i would

alex albon - you see physically he is not really my type but being engaged in conversation with him for more than five minutes would have me so horny i can barely breathe. i just love a dork yknow. i feel like i'd match with him on tinder by the strength of his bio even though his selfies are a bit shit and then i'd be actively drooling throughout the entire date

daniel ricciardo - in 2018, yes. in 2021 onwards, no. was he in some sort of reverse dorian grey situation where his portrait has gotten both hotter and attained better f1 results? who knows

pierre gasly - if he brings back the long swoopy hair with the frosted tips we are back in fucking business quite frankly

ollie bearman - i know he's technically an adult but he looks so young that even including him in this poll as an aside feels noncey to me

kevin magnussen - i have nothing to say. next

esteban ocon - he's tall, i suppose

franco colapinto - once again it's an ollie bearman situation where i can objectively acknowledge that he's a handsome lad but i've been following him since he was 19. i CANNOT see him that way.

zhou guanyu - i feel like his inherent swag is wasted in f1 i'd probably fancy him a lot more if he was some rando catwalk model i saw reblogged onto my dash precisely once when he was walking the runway in dior's latest collection at paris fashion week or something

logan sargeant (rip) - i really can't knock the people who fancy him because i feel like if you're american making out with 5000 guys who look just like him at college parties is my equivalent of making out with a ton of george russell impersonators at oxford. but thus i cannot see it due to our vastly different life experiences

valtteri bottas - he's hot in the way that like i walk into a gay bar and see the posters of men in leather jockstraps plastered around the place and go you know what this is not targeted to me but i can see why this is hugely titillating to the people these pictures were actually put up for. he's the closest to 1980s gay porn we have on this grid and i have to hugely respect that even if he's not my personal type

bonus liam lawson round - he looks like he was meant to debut in a boyband circa 2014 but accidentally got locked in a portaloo before their first recording session and they just kind of forgot about him there and he's just stumbled out into the daylight right now for the first time in 10 years and he's a little startled and hasn't learned about modern fashion yet but he's still kind of hot to people who would have desperately fancied luke from 5SOS were they above the age of seven at the time that band debuted

[alittledizzy]

this a big ask and feel free to ignore but you seem like the right person to come to.

can you give like a dnf overview for those of us who know almost nothing but are sooo curious (minecraft? face reveal? queer?)(i follow for dnp lol)

Okay so... I'm gonna try and do a bullet point overview and for the purpose of not getting in the weeds I am not going into the controversies. I'll be happy to discuss that part - OFF anon.

Dream and George met on a Minecraft server when Dream was 16, George was 18/19 and became best friends.

When Dream decided to start youtube when he was 18, he asked George (and Sapnap) to come along with him. They both said yes.

In 2019, George started talking about moving to America. At the time Dream lived with his girlfriend, though they broke up by 2020. (George and the girlfriend did not get along. But that's also a whole other can of worms because she fucked Dream up pretty badly with consistent cheating and verbal/physical abuse.)

Plans for George to move to the US got more concrete and at some point over 2021 became him moving into a house with Dream and Sapnap.

Dream also came out multiple times in this general period of time. He came out in a post on reddit, on twitter, and on a stream. He does not explicitly state that he's bisexual, but he does explicitly state he isn't straight.

Sapnap had already moved in with Dream for Dream's protection since he was being swatted pretty regularly. Dream had plans for a face reveal but people were stalking and harassing him both to 'reveal' him and also because at this point the Kiwi Farms targeted attack on him had gained a lot of steam.

Speaking of: George used face cam pretty regularly, but Dream did not face reveal. Based on things he's said it seems pretty clear he was trying to lose weight but at some point set the goal of face revealing once George was in America because he wanted George to see his face before anyone else.

George applied for his Visa and would have had about a 6-9 month wait, and then was denied. He had to apply a second time, and wait another extended period of time, which put it September 2022 when his visa finally was approved. This means they'd known each other for seven years and he'd been trying to move to the US to live with Dream for three years at that point.

George arrived in the US and Dream posted his first video with a face camera on. George posted a vlog meeting Dream irl for the first time, which is a great starting point for a watch.

In terms of the ship stuff: they've always had a heavily flirtatious relationship and Dream is open about how attractive he finds George. They've acknowledging having a conversation about if they'd date or not.

Once in a while Dream will reiterate that they're not dating, and we know he spent 2023 having a variety of hookups but no confirmed relationships. (Which lines up with his long history of women that flirt with him complaining he'll be great to them and make them feel good but always says he doesn't want a relationship.)

2023 was pretty wild for them in terms of nonstop travel, events, and making very little content besides Dream's music. So far in 2024 we've seen a complete 180 of that and Dream and George have noy traveled at all, staying at home in Orlando together. (Sapnap has traveled and spent time in LA, but alone.)

This is partially due to controversy, I'm sure, but also seems to be just in line with a rededicating of themselves to Minecraft and content impending. They're working on a project that hopefully will come out soon.

Right now in terms of what they've publicly told us, they're just in the category of Super Not Normal About Each Other. Here are a few of the Not Normal things that are just fun from a shippy pov:

Before George moved, they were open about living most of their life on a call together. This includes sleep calling and staying on the phone while taking showers.

One of Dream's early videos was gifting his friends money to thank them for supporting him. He gave Sapnap and another friend $500 each. He gave George $5000.

Dream took 'am I in love with my best friend' quizzes on stream twice with George on the call and neither treated it quite like a joke.

Dream sent George an oversized Dream hoodie which George has worn repeatedly and even admitted to spraying with cologne before he'd put it on. Dream took pictures of George in the hoodie (a private call, not one fans were in on) and then later shared them saying they were the cutest pictures of George ever.

The first time we really got to see them interact irl at length was a stream they did around Christmas. Here's a supercut that just really shows the vibe between them.

Initially in late 2022 Dream was wearing a very specific chain. At some point in January 2023, George started wearing that chain (the specific one Dream used to wear) and has not been spotted without it since.

At one of his concerts Dream described George as a friend he just met a year ago that he's so in love with.

The entire song Spotlight which everyone immediately associated with George, to George's embarrassment and pride.

And there's obviously way more... but I feel like this is a good starter kit for Them.

[shawn-peanuts]

Hey new SCP people, and people that have been around for a long time. I was very into the fandom back in around 2019-2021. Many people have been around longer but I lost interest in it after a while. Recently I have been interacting more with SCP based content and am really enjoying it.

Sadly I have also learned and educated myself on Dr. Bright both the person who used to run the wiki and the character. He had done some very gross and disturbing things involving minors, and using his power inappropriately.

From here on out I will be describing what Bright did and the action many staff, writers, and members of the SCP community did. This account includes;

Heavy mentions of sexual harassment (some involving minors), abuse of power, and sexual themes. Reader discretion is advised.

The video below covers this topic more directly than I will. It includes screenshots, explanations, and examples of the Original Bright’s actions.

Some people don’t know that Bright was the last name of a real person who used to run the joining applications, set up the joining process and used to accept or decline the applications. Back in 2012 he had something on the application page that was just supposed to be a joke. He asked people for suggestive pictures of themselves on that page. After the SCP website sort of blew up, more people were there accepting and declining applications. They also thought that this was a joke. Until a fellow member of the team received an application that had these suggestive images attached to it. The staff blew it off.

He did this same thing on other sites. Using his status as THE Dr. Bright to get sexual attention. He used this on several occasions and in dating profiles. At one point, requesting these suggestive pictures for his 36th birthday. Using the Bright name on an account linked to the official SCP Foundation Tumblr account. Which he ran at the time.

After that incident, no one took action or did anything. Many minors who dealt personally with Bright and his shenanigans, for lack of better word, described Bright as having a creepy old man vibe. How he blatantly flirted with some, how he talked about his sexual exploits of his partners, with minors and mentioning his fetish to some. Many times he was told of these people’s ages, every time, he blatantly ignored it and continued his behavior. Staff members did nothing yet again.

This continued until the original Bright left the site in around 2019-2020. After his willing registration he was banned from the website and from writing indefinitely. Many people had become aware of his actions and things he said to minors, how he abused his position, and many victims had come forward with statements against the author. He was in his 30s when this all happened. He was not a teenager, he was not in his early twenties he was an adult man and should have known better.

Now, we get into what writers in the community did. Many decided to rewrite their stories so Bright wasn’t involved, in an attempt to make sure his victims weren’t having to see his name everywhere. Something writers also did was give Bright a new name, same background, same story just new name. This name was Elias Shaw. This was not all writers.

I am fully aware that many people still love the character Dr. Bright, but I feel it is necessary to acknowledge that many people were hurt by this author and that he is not a good person.

Personally, I will not support him, I will not be using his name, I will not support people who use his original character. I will be using the name Elias Shaw in any works that would involve Bright. Thank you if you read this. My source is linked above. I hope this reaches many more than I know it will. Have a pleasant day, night, evening or afternoon.

[7-oh-ta1]

If we consider that Tenma is a sixteen year old second year high school student in Year 1, we can assume his birthday for that year has yet to pass during the month of recording that age.

Typically, first-years will be fifteen when the school year starts and sixteen when it ends, second-years will be sixteen when the school year starts and seventeen when it ends. Third years (the final year) are seventeen when the school year starts and eighteen when it ends. The school year typically begins in April, and so the child's age on the date of April 1st determines if they start school that year. The child must be six years old on April 1st to enter school.

Now considering that Year 1 is 2017 (year of release), and Tenma is 16 turning 17 in Year 1, we can reasonably deduce that he was born in 2000. Easy!

However, a3 had this weird transitional period where it wasn't sure how the characters were going to age up. They had birthdays every year, but the continuity didn't match in the story... Along with the fact that each character's birthday would have to happen alongside the events of Year 1, not as separate situations. Then during the pandemic, the characters ceased to age at all to avoid acknowledging Covid 19 in any capacity. Now that we've all survived and the world is still spinning, the characters are years behind what they should be. For example, Tenma. If he's 16 -> 17 in Year 1 (2017), then 17 -> 18 in Year 2 (2018), it stands to reason he should be 18 -> 19 in Year 3 (2019), 19 -> 20 in Year 4 (2020), 20 -> 21 in Year 5 (2021), 21 -> 22 in Year 6 (2022), 22 -> 23 Year 7 (2023), 23 -> in Year 8 (2024), and finally 24 -> 25 in Year 9 (2025).

According to the a3 cards now, Tenma is nineteen, which based on the pattern of before-birthday age being listed, means he's turning twenty, which makes the in-game year 2020. Which would be fine, except the current year is 2025... I might be missing something but the lack of established patterns for "oh, every two years is actually one year in a3 time" or something of the sort, it's incredibly confusing and contradicts itself.

Tenma and Taichi are the same age, Tenma is just a few months older. The Rad Red's Taichi plot was about turning twenty. ...The Rad Red was three years ago. So how is Tenma just now... turning twenty? It doesn't make sense for the story to be in 2020, even if we retconned the story to suit Rad Red, it still wouldn't make sense for Tenma to turn twenty three years after Taichi...

During the zodiac event, Taichi was a snake! Which makes Tenma snake since Chinese zodiacs are yearly. 2000, Tenma and Taichi's birth year, is the dragon. To be a snake they would need to be one year younger, in 2001 (my birth year! :D). If they were born in 2001, that would make their birthdays this year their twenty-FOURTH birthdays.

However, as Tenma's age is listed as "19" and we've established that the age on the cards for a year is their BEFORE birthday age, that would make Tenma 18 -> 19 in 2020. Which, of course, would make his listed age contradictory to the pattern.

I actually have nothing else to say besides that there's no x to solve in this 😭 Confusion caused by unclear vision and multiple writers. I'm gonna look at more cards on my break cause I gotta clock in but y'all 😭 FOR ME, I can accept the one year retcon (retconning the Year 1 year from 2017 to 2018, making Tenma born in 2001 instead of 2000), but I really don't like pretending it's 2020/2021 just so the characters can crawl their way to twenty.
