Was pondering how Mark’s rigid ass mask/lens is prob a Budget Thing (since squishy, bendy lens are pretty much a mandate for all hero animated series, like JL, BTAS, TNBA, Spider-Man, etc), and then I was slapped with a vision of Mark in a more JL/BTAS-ish style and I had to see it through. I am a genius btw.

What keeps you motivated in Formula 1?

George and Max the only drivers to explicitly mention winning and the feeling of winning during the segment... Something about being two sides of the same coin...

Was watching gymnastics and became overcome with the urge to draw Bow in a sparkly leotard... except that doesn't make sense because, of course, he'd be an archer.

But then... inspiration struck.

Are there things that you've suggested to Joe that's he's like 'ehhh I can't go that far.'

There are a few things...I think this happens with a lot of athletes, it's like, 'are you winning? are you losing?' It really kind of then dictates what you're wearing. You know, one time I brought over a fur coat, and he was like, 'not right now. Not right now.'

on the topic of school, i can never take a single “school isn’t designed for boys” “we need to help boys more as girls overtake them academically” “what’s happened to our men” “failure to launch” crisis seriously for one reason. i have never seen a single one of these arguments point out that we need to eliminate or significantly minimize school athletics.

my high school had almost 100 boys on the football team. we were state champions every year i was in high school. i knew a lot of boys who got D1 scholarships. but this was 100 boys who were shuffled through their classes instead of having to pass them, and the lucky ones who played football in university are being shuffled through their classes there. 100 boys who spent 40 hours a week roughhousing instead of studying or working or getting involved or even having fun. 100 boys who genuinely believed school didn’t matter because they would be the one, they’d get the football scholarship, they’d make the NFL. besides, if they tried to prioritize school they’d be cut from the team, but so long as they prioritize the team they’d never be failed, because no teacher is going to be the reason the star quarterback doesn’t qualify for athletics. and that’s just the football team. we had champion soccer and lacrosse and basketball teams. they were less cultish and you got less injuries, but they were shuffled through their classes with unearned barely passing grades too.

boys aren’t succeeding in school? boys aren’t going to college? boys are doing poorly even once they get there? our first step is separating church and state here. join a private team. offer intramurals. have some kind of pre-professional division. but get it out of high schools and colleges. then we can talk about how boys are doing in school. or are we just mad that girls are doing well?

As your local anime watcher I am inclined to inform the fs community that a new skating anime has started airing.

Unlike YOI with all the Grand Prix antics and homoerotism, Medalist is about a young 11 year old skater trying to make her mark after starting late with her coach, a former flop ice dancer.

more modern au headcanons for @now-thats-an-oof

first one here

Jayce and Viktor's favorite guilty pleasure is all the crime/science shows like CSI, Bones, X-Files. Stuff that requires a healthy amount of disbelief because it's more entertaining that way, rather than the shows that pretend to know science or are obnoxious about science. They used to have a drinking game, but after one episode of CSI Vegas they were so decidedly intoxicated + the hangover was enough for them to never play it again.

Also, their TV set is a projector against their wall. They also pirate everything, use VPNs. Neither of them pay for any subscriptions, all mooch off of Caitlyn's accounts when they can't find something they want or the quality being pirated isn't good. (Mel and Elora locked them out of their account)

They live in a studio apartment on the first floor right outside their University. It's nice, low-priced and they don't spend a lot of time in it anyways with school and lab work. Jayce's favorite feature is the fireplace, Viktor's is the spacious shower.

They do not use candles: sets off Viktor’s asthma. Instead they have a modified (by them!) diffuser with scents like eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender that helps with breathing + won’t set off an attack. (He still does his treatments, though! Just wants a nice smelling home.)

Ximena lives about forty minutes away; they visit her every weekend. When Jayce and Viktor first got together, Viktor was afraid to meet her (he has no family for Jayce to meet, and never got far enough in other relationships to meet parents) but she took him in instantly.

Now, Ximena insists Viktor come home with Jayce every time. Sometimes she even calls Viktor even when Jayce isn't there. She sends meals (as all moms do!) with them to take, but with the recipe card so they can make it together.

Adding onto that, Jayce cooks, Viktor bakes. Both have used Ximena's recipe cards often, but hers are just better (Jayce thinks she's hiding a secret ingredient, Viktor thinks she's magic) (one of them is right!)

Neither of them are big readers for fun, but both enjoy scientific journals, reports, short stories, as long as they aren't science fiction. Unlike with the TV shows, the bad science just annoys them. For fiction, Jayce enjoys adventure/suspense, Viktor enjoys mystery/suspense. Neither like horror, or romance-only, but enjoy a good slow burn mixed with their preferred genres.

Their greatest achievement was the modern version of whatever the distinguished innovators competition was-they both got to ride in a plane (1st class, paid for by the school!) to present their prototype for a water & air solar powered purifier to the country's top mechanics board. Mel (political science major, business minor (in Masters programs) also helped them register the patents and trademarks for it.

Speaking of Mel, other majors/minors include: Caitlyn (Legal Studies Major, Criminal Justice minor, undergrad) Sky (Environmental Science, Masters) Vi (Exercise Science major, undergrad) Elora (Business Analytics, Masters). Ekko and Powder are taking a gap year.

Jayvik have major beef with the barista at the coffeeshop closest to their apartment. Don't ask them why. (He hit on Vik in front of Jayce while also being ableist. Both of them cursed him out in their respective first languages).

Jayce and Viktor paint and sketch to unwind. Jayce sketches (likes charcoal pencils) Viktor paints (likes watercolors). Favorite subjects? Each other. (yes, they have painted and sketched each other naked.)

Failed hobbies of theirs include: crocheting (Jayce was slightly more successful, though the scarf he made for Vik was a little too long) Photography (somehow Viktor's fingertips make it into his shots, Jayce can never get the focus right) Dance (Jayce stepped on everyone's feet, Viktor only likes to sway and stand on Jayce's feet) Plants (?) (They are only allowed plants that can survive nuclear explosions now. Sky banned anything harder than a spider plant to care for from their home.)

Favorite Bar: The Last Drop (you know I had to do it). They (as well as their small group of friends) are the only academy students yet to be kicked out. Mostly for good behavior, but also because favoritism.

Things they don't fight about: Health, safety, opinions (they share most of the same ones anyways) family, friends.

Things they "fight" about: the right amount of sugar in a coffee, if Viktor needs wool socks, if Jayce needs to replace his work boots, the best kind of cookie (the great double-chocolate chip vs m&m cookie war)

The thing they actually fought about (serious version): Viktor accepting help/Jayce learning the right way to help him that wasn't diminishing Viktor's abilities. They fought for a week-still sharing a bed and eating together, working, but all silent. Finally when they came to an agreement-Viktor would stop ignoring the need for help until it was too painful to ask, Jayce would help by knowing the real signs, or doing just what Viktor asks him to help with, rather than what he assumes Viktor needs.
