i will always be grateful to dante devilmaycry for making me get my pussy up after a catastrophic breakup in my first year of uni. truly if I had not been delusional enough to selfship in that era of my life, I would have been a worse person for it

I have an unpopular opinion regarding when we have the final Rosquez divorce.

I have always believed that, at least for Marc, the divorce does not happen in Argentina 2018 but in Misano 2019. During qualifying Marc finds himself in Rossi's slipstream (he will say it was a coincidence), they start the lap and Rossi touches the green and his lap is cancelled, at which point Marc overtakes him, but Rossi, a few corners later, will also try to overtake him in not very nice way. The result is that they both risk falling. During the press conference that afternoon Marc is very nervous and angry and of the things he says, two imo certify the divorce: "this time I didn't fall" and "I have my opinion on why he did it but I won't say it".

Imo Marc is sure that Rossi had the intention of making him fall like in Sepang 2015 and for him this is what will make him lose what was left of the idea he had of Rossi since he was a child.

https://youtu.be/JlMLmq5X9xE?si=3kOLZLE7YV6f9wlv this is the "misunderstanding"

https://www.youtube.com/live/cwFD37ID77Q?si=fR3W7hk6PI19SEyG in the final minutes you can see the way marc celebrates the victory. His features are contorted whith rage

hmmm compelling… see i DO still pin argentina as the moment marc gives up on reconciliation (his body language when uccio yells at him. oof.) which feeds into the mentality they both have in 2019 where they are lowkey pissing each other off every other weekend (see: this video). like after that clusterfuck/vale REAALLYYYY repudiating him to the press, i think marc was like fine. fuck you for REAL. and they both got a lil petty with it… and if marc in this particular case believes that vale on god for realsies hates his ass and WILL take opportunities to mess with his riding (AND in an imitation of sepang, which tbqh DID piss him tf off) then he’s gonna get fucking MAD. in ways he doesn’t with ANYBODY else.

Been having Derby feelings. He’s a shit but I also feel like he is deeply, deeply unhappy

This is one of those moments where I HATE that the game is based on stereotypes because you KNOW Rockstar never intended people to take his character at anything other than face value - we’re all supposed to think of him as a superficial lil bitch but i cant-

misc greaser backstory headcanons because i'm bored and it's time for this fandom to hear my lukewarm hot takes <ब₍₍( ˃̗εू˂ )₎₎<ब

johnny and lola's fatal relationship flaws are learned from their respective sets of parents.

johnny grew up witnessing his parents' tumultuous marriage and often felt like he was walking on eggshells due to his father's possessiveness and short fuse. mrs. vincent stayed, no matter how much her husband's fits of rage scared her because she felt she had a duty to her family. her one silver lining was that at least he never laid a hand on her (no, he'd only punch the walls near her or throw dinnerware– that's not abuse, is it? was just one of the numerous feeble defenses johnny would hear from his mom.) (the one time she DID defend herself, the situation escalated and eventually landed both of johnny's parents in prison. because he was already 18 when this happened, social services did not get involved.)

lola's father cheated on her mom and as a result, she's never had any stable relationships beyond short-lived flings. ms. lombardi consequently passed her bitterness about the affair and the divorce onto her daughter; it didn't help that lola's father stopped giving a shit about her after he married his affair partner and started a family with her. witnessing her family breaking apart, her mother wrecking her life with numerous toxic flings, and the father she used to love so dearly doting on his son with his new wife had not only resulted in non-committal tendencies, but also a dislike of men that borders on misandry.

(on that, i feel like a case can be made that lola's a closeted lesbian with MAD comphet, but that's a story for another time.)

peanut's home life is nearly similar to johnny's, but what sets them apart is the fact that peanut's father– alongside his verbal abuse– outright beats him; that's where his intense napoleon complex stems from. initially, his mother was the victim of his father's rage, but the older peanut grew, the more he fought back for her. consequently, at some point, he essentially became his father's outlet for his rage. he hates losing fights, being made to feel small and weak, because, well– if he can't fight back, who'll be there to protect his mom?

norton's family is relatively more normal and maybe even more stable than the rest of his clique's, but they're– unsurprisingly– not without their own issues. i feel like most of the conflict within the williams' family stems from the clashing ideals between norton and his dad; norton's a guy who was radicalized at a young age (since he's quite well-read), and his father– a police officer– represents the authority and the system he hates so much. becoming a greaser was not only teenage rebellion, but also a way to show that he outright rejects what his father believes in; he resents him for being a sellout. officer williams is aware of this.

vance is the only son among a brood of daughters. the second eldest child, he shares a close bond with his younger sisters, but a hesitant, nearly strained relationship with his older sister. their father is absent, and their mother overworked, so both of them are parentified– even if ms. medici didn't intend for that to happen. vance's never been shy about his bisexuality, and the unorthodox way he expresses his masculinity is a source of contention for his sister. she resents how carefree he is, how arbitrary his priorities are (like his obsession with his appearance, his social standing amongst the greasers, and his various romances in bullworth). their father couldn't be the man of the house, and now vance can't even fill in that role if he tried.

as implied by some of his voicelines, hal's fatness is (not so) secretly a major source of insecurities for him. his mother truly tries to be as supportive as she can be, but his father– perhaps another alumni of bullworth, maybe even a former jock?– is especially harsh on him, his "tough love" bordering on outright verbal abuse. hal was initially sent to bullworth in order to "whip him into shape" (both figuratively and literally), and his dad hit the roof when he found out that hal decided to join the greasers instead of getting into something "worthwhile". he tries to be as confident as he's making himself seem, though his dad's comments about his body and his hobbies and his friends cut deep.

ricky was essentially raised by his older brother (a former greaser himself). their parents have never been in the picture, and they were initially raised by their hyperreligious, paranoid grandmother before ricky's brother had enough– he moved out at 18 and took ricky with him. he had to take numerous odd jobs just to support them, ultimately dropping out of his last year in bullworth and forgoing college in favor of working. despite their similar personalities and interests, this is why they often clash– ricky's brother had to sacrifice his schooling for him, and he wants nothing more than for ricky to be responsible and successful. to be the opposite of who he was.

on the other hand, lucky essentially raised his younger siblings (a sister and a brother). his mom walked out on his family when he was still a kid; consequently, his dad fell into a deep depression, was laid off from his job, and turned to alcohol and gambling. lucky had to step up to the plate and be the man of the house in his stead. he's not quite sure who he resents more: his mom, for walking out; his dad, for taking away his remaining childhood; or the system, for fucking them all up in the first place.

lefty is a latch-key kid. both of his parents may be present in his life, but it's as if they're not all that interested in their son– he doesn't quite know why, but there's the implication that he's an accident; one that forced them to have a shotgun marriage despite not being in love anymore. they provide the bare minimum for him, but not much beyond that; whether its gifts or affection. he'll claim he's given up on trying to win their love a long time ago, but he can't deny that with every new scar he earns, he wishes they'd notice. at least once. (with concern or anger, it doesn't matter anymore.)

guys im actually so academically proud of myself this term. i feel like I've gotten so much better at historical analysis. this is a skill with which it's difficult to see if you're progressing or not, because there's no roadmap to lead you. sometimes it might feel like all your work has been for nothing.

but i finally feel like. I've gotten better. im sharp and i keep coming up with interesting takes and i keep catching details in sources my professors compliment me on. i have no clue exactly how I've done it but somehow it seems like I'm going in the right direction.

Me, a month before my study abroad started: omg I’m going to meet so many new people who are all interested in gender studies! Why else would they sign up for this gender studies themed study abroad?what if I fall in love and have a whirlwind romance and make new friends and have the time of my life!

Me now, a month into my study abroad: I swear to god, if these people say the r slur again I’m going to start screaming. I don’t think I’ve heard them have a single conversation that wasn’t about alcohol, drugs, or partying. No you don’t need to remind me you go to Harvard you’ve mentioned it 12 times. Oh good more petty nonsensical drama. great. Can I go home yet.

Years ago, I asked you what the different alternate universe Maria’s were doing with their lives. Are the answers still the same?

OOOOOOF yes.

but now I’m in the period where I have to face that I do not, in fact, have multiple lives so I have to figure out what I’m doing with my one wild and precious life and the sort of (for me, at least) ease of following a particular school-related completion course that wasn’t too hard to commit to or finish has come to an end and I am at a crossroads where it’s just like—you could choose. And on some level, in the next few years, you need to. Low-key terrifying and I hate it.

Sometimes I see people providing "context" that references just enough specific correct things that the batshit stuff they're also saying in the same breath flies under the radar

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice
