#Francesco💚🤍❤️

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

FORMALLY APLOGIZING TO FRANCESCO for the amount of times I've messed up the Italy flag. I am so sorry. I don't know why that is like the one flag that I just can not get the colors right on. I know white goes in the middle and it's vertical stripes, and then it just ends there. Every other vertical stripey flag is fine for me, even the 500000 red white and blue flags variations. So sorry, Francesco ilysm please PLEASE forgive me

Una località rurale dell’Umbria nasconde un tesoro: è la Scarzuola, il luogo dove Tomaso Buzzi costruì la sua Città Ideale. Questa surreale ed eccentrica costruzione si trova nel comune di Montegabbione nascosta tra le colline umbre, e fu famosa per essere stato dimora di San Francesco d’Assisi.

Ma non solo, questo luogo segreto dell’Umbria vi sorprenderà per una meravigliosa costruzione, la città ideale di Tomaso Buzzi. La Scarzuola si trova ben nascosta nella località di Montegiovane, in provincia di Terni, nelle vicinanze di un antico convento francescano.

Nel 1956 il convento e tutta la proprietà circostante vennero acquistati dall’architetto milanese Tomaso Buzzi che edificò una straordinaria costruzione surreale: la Città Ideale. L’artista tracciò un percorso ricco di simbolismi basato sul poema illustrato italiano “Hypnerotomachia Poliphili”: un viaggio iniziatico alla scoperta di noi stessi. L’opera è formata da costruzioni raggruppate in sette scene teatrali, sette rappresentazioni sceniche.

Buzzi progettò e costruì la città ideale come una grande scenografia teatrale in cui sono presenti: Villa Adrian, Villa d’Este (Tivoli), i sette edifici nell’Acropoli (Partenone, Colosseo, Pantheon, Piramide, Torre dei Venti, Tempio di Vesta, la torre dell’orologio di Mantova) e Bomarzo. 🇮🇹❤👏👋

A rural village in Umbria hides a treasure: it is the Scarzuola, the place where Tomaso Buzzi built his Ideal City. This surreal and eccentric building is located in the village of Montegabbione hidden in the Umbrian hills, and was famous for having been the home of St. Francis of Assisi.

But that's not all, this secret place in Umbria will surprise you with a wonderful building, the ideal city of Tomaso Buzzi. Scarzuola is well hidden in Monte Giovane, in the province of Terni, near an ancient Franciscan convent.

In 1956 the convent and all the surrounding property were purchased by the Milanese architect Tomaso Buzzi who created an extraordinary surreal construction: the Ideal City. The artist has traced a path full of symbolism based on the Italian illustrated poem "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili": an initiatory journey to discover ourselves. The work is composed of constructions grouped into seven theatrical scenes, seven stage performances.

Buzzi designed and built the ideal city as a large theatrical setting in which are located: Villa Adriana, Villa d'Este (Tivoli), the seven buildings of the Acropolis (Parthenon, Colosseum, Pantheon, Pyramid, Tower of the Winds, Temple of Vesta, the clock tower of Mantua) and Bomarzo. 🇮🇹❤👏👋

Fun silly headcanons post about how well I imagine my F/Os can cook<3 and I get a little carried away with some other related stuff as well :)

Going under a read more cause I list several F/Os and it gets a wee lengthy teehee

I think I've mentioned some of these a little bit before, particularly Finn and Francesco's, perhappsss maybe Axlerod's a little bit? But if you've been around here for a long time and maybe have a fair memory, you probably remember me talking about Francesco's a bit.

Whew. Big read. Did NOT intend for it to be this long, had no clue I had this much to say on it😅😅 was considering doing more F/Os but figured it was long enough as is for now :)

Lightning: I don't think he'd be an AWFUL cook per se, but I think he'd just have such little cooking experience that he'd be (respectfully)below a novice level. He probably got the usual treatment of his parents always cooking for him before he moved out(which absolutely isn't a bad thing one bit), but he probably never had a strong enough curiosity/interest to question what they're cooking or how they're making it or anything. He definitely gets less time to explore cooking with being on the road a lot for racing stuff, but that's probably a benefit if anything because he'd probably have far too little interest in doing it anyway. He practically runs off of whether something is stimulating him at the moment, and if he gets too bored with it or impatient, then it just becomes a pain for him. He probably hardly survives preheating the oven if there's no prep-work to pass the time or someone to help the time go by. Probably survived the off-season of racing via delivery food or going out to eat places.

Francesco: please please PLEASE don't let him in the kitchen, I'd barely even let him use a microwave. He'd probably mistake 6:00(minutes) for 60:00 and wouldn't realize until some fire alarm went off and he burnt and cracked a plate(+smokey smell). His mama was an excellent cook, truly a fantastic one, the definition of homemade comfort food that was basically a source of love, but that was inevitably his downfall as well, because he didn't have to ever be considered about making anything. Don't get me wrong, regaurdless of his age no matter how young or old he was, he absolutely was eager to help his mama out with things and that included cooking, but something about it just does not click for him, it simply isn't there. He probably gets too excited from all the smells and memories that anything and everything is just in one ear and out the other. He'd probably had to have a task repeated to him about three different times and I question if I'd let him do anything more challenging than chopping vegetables or cracking an egg. Don't get me wrong, if he offers to lend a hand I won't turn it down(he'd probably get a bit upset/offended if I did), but he's getting the busywork tasks whether he knows it or not. To sum it up simply, gotta handle him like he's the newbie on a construction site.

Finn: He can absolutely cook and he's astounding at it, too. I don't know if he just has an incredible knowledge of Every Recipe EverTM or if he just as some wonderful secret cookbook that has Every Recipe EverTM but wow, you ask him to make whatever you want and he is making it astoundingly, and if it's not to your taste he will tweak it until it's idealized just for your personal tastebuds. Only time I thought I mightve stumped him was when I asked him about making biscuits and gravy cause I love that stuff and was craving it but, yknow, not very much a UK thing... at all.. for a multitude of reasons. But some how some way he managed to make something that only a madman would doubt it wasn't his first time making it. Don't know how he does it, where he gets his recipes from, or if he just knows enough that he can make whatever he pleases with just a general knowledge, but there are no bounds that hold him. DOES not help that he insists on cooking my every meal and is such a big stickler for frozen meals and things, because now I have to be subjected to delicious homemade meals for the rest of my life, great. I do get some kicks of amusement from trying to watch the gears in his brain turn when I sometimes tell him I miss a certain frozen food or frozen food brand.

Axlerod: His cooking level is mostly just a combination of not really ever having any experience with it and not really having a great interest in much of it either. I mean, he's incredibly wealthy, and he doesn't have a very complex palate, so it's rather simple for him to just buy whatever he wants to eat. He also is in a fairly dense dense area, so walking to places to grab something isn't entirely out of the ballpark. I wouldn't say he's BAD at cooking, maybe mediocre, but that's just cause of his lack of interest in exploring it. But there's zero worry about him burning down the kitchen or anything. Can confirm that he does make good sandwiches though, if that accounts for anything. And box cake mix, can't forget that one, unironically very important.

Grem: eeehmm.... I mean... he makes pizza, right? So,, I definitely can't say he's BAD at cooking or anything. It's just, I mean, I've never really SEEN him cooking. Heck, The mental image of him cooking makes me giggle a little, if that's a testimony to anything! Though I think that might also partly be because it's such a domestic soft thing in my mind aaaanndd he is.... normally far more gruff. Pretty sure him and Acer thrive off of quick ready to eat things or things that can be thrown together verryyyy simply, like canned/frozen foods or packs of Ramen, microwave food, etc.. Pretty much your 'average' person I would assume when it comes to cooking stuff, give or take a few things. He probably knows a little extra advanced cooking stuff just for the small occasions where he has to make/get something special for Acer that they don't already have.

Acer: He's a bit of a selective eater, but lucky for him most his comfort/safe foods are things that can be thrown in microwaves and paired with fruitcups. Not very good at cooking, and I'd keep a close eye on him in the kitchen. I'd let him poor his own cereal and probably let him fix a thing a box pasta and canned sauce by himself(given someone was close by..just in case..), but anything too further complex I'm not so sure about. He just gets a little too hasty about it all and skips a few steps and it quickly takes a turn of the outcome. He means well though, he just gets so excited about doing something with someone he loves; I highly doubt you'll ever catch him cooking by himself very much, if at all.

Jackson: Abbbsolutetly not, you would have to bribe him to even cook anything that wasn't like instant cup of noodles or something. He's very selective about foods and different tastes/textures, so he normally gets his stuff from the same place over and over again, and this makes him want to cook less because he doesn't want to have to go through the understandably, to him, frustrating process of trying to make something and it being off and then he's got to dispose of it all now. Local pizza place is the only place he'll get pizza and such from, Cafe up the street is where he goes for sweets, it's all laid out in his mind. Heck, if you asked him, he'd probably argue if cooking was a necessity or not. Though, he is in a position where can afford practically living off of buying delivery. Believe it or not, but he normally leans towards getting more higher-end stuff as well. It's only once a month or more that he considered stopping by like a Wendy's or such for something to eat. It's honestly kinda intriguing that depending on what he wants to eat entirely changes where he's going to be getting it from, even the most minute seeming sort of things. That place he gets pizza from is now the ONLY place he will take it from, no where else will due. It starts to take a bit of a toll on him though when he has to be on the road for traveling and racing stuff, and he has to go to new places for foods and such.

Don't think I posted these from before but here they are, haha! These just made me giggle a bit, I love how well they captured Francesco's personality in the game! I loved hearing the mention of his mama, because I have like a whollee thing about how I imagine his relationship with his mama and me meeting her and stuff! Francesco is a Mama's boy(/positive), that man loves his mama and his mama loves him, and normally I don't care that much for family dynamics like that, this one hits a weak spot in me that gets me just so all choaked up!!🤧

Also him calling Lightning "Signor Fenders".

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

Making this post just cause I thought it would be fun! But writing about realizing when I was in love with some of my F/Os 🥰 This is like an..irl version or whatever you wanna call it, where I'm watching the media and having an "OH" moment, but I'll reblog this post with a version of like S/I me having the "OH" moment hehe

Putting it under the cut just cause I think it might get long since I'm doing quite a few F/Os!

I have other stories for how I met other F/Os, so if anyone is interested in any other particular ones or such do feel free to ask!🥰😊

With Lightning I always thought he was pretty cute, but for the longest time I never let myself like..actually indulge in thoughts about him for some reason! I never had a big like an "oh boy." moment, I just always was like "awe he's cute🥰" and now I've let myself indulge in thoughts and... I've been refusing to admit how much hes been plaguing my thoughts. Which I think is kinda ironic because most people that interact with my blog is just cause of him, but ive been fighting to not talk about him XD which I'm sure that dam will break at some point.

I think I always kinda had feelings for Francesco, but I never really like...faced it I guess? I just kinda always overlooked it and went on my merry way. I'm not sure when I started really thinking about him and focusing on him but I couldn't stand giving him even more attention because he already gets so much and his ego is already big enough, not to mention the fuel he gets from fans and stuff. He's actually a big sweetheart softie though and I love him. I was always a little attracted to him but just shied away from it and ever admitting to it.

With Finn it was quite similar to how it was with Francesco, except with Finn I was so sure that I just would not ever have a shot with him that I just never indulged in the feelings cause I was like...there's no way he would get with me. I don't really remember how the turning point was or went for when I decided to let myself be consumed by thoughts of him, but it's been, well, very much taking over me, as one may assume from the engagement haha! But I 100% always had some feelings there for him, I just stuffed them down and shut them out to where I never really acknowledged them. I was and still am a very much flustered mess over him though.

I hardly remember how it was with Axlerod, truthfully. I'm not even entirely sure if I remember it at all! I just remember at some point I started giggling a lot over things he was saying and I was like...I'm giggling FAR too much over this man for it to be a normal amount... and I did my little personal 'test' of "Okay well if I romantically like them then I won't mind thinking about doing romantic things with them" and eugm... well, here we are now! Certified husband, recognized in zero states and countries, but that's okay.

Grem and Acer actually have a really interesting story for how I ended up falling for them, and I can't help but wonder how long it mightve been before I admitted to liking them if I never had it go this way, but basically I was talking with an old friend about C.ars characters, and I made a JOKE that they could probably pick any character and make me fall in love with them, and they started listing some silly dumb horribly-executed displays of romance that Grem and Acer would do and it. It worked HGBBDSJNGBS. But it makes me imagine I met them through like a friend and it makes me giggle a bit cause what a way to meet them! Truthfully with as much as I talked about them at the time I can't help but wonder if there was already something there and I just didn't realize it yet.

With Jackson, I absolutely love this story, and I love sharing it, even if it sounds so absurd that I don't know how many people will believe me on it. Basically, apparently I had watched C.ars 3 before with my brother and dad, but entirely forgot about it, and my brother had to keep insisting to me that we had infact watched it before cause I had just forgotten it so badly. I got a bit interested in rewatching it because my brother owned the C.ars 3 game on the Switch and we had been playing it a bit, and the second I rewatched the movie and got to the part of Jackson speaking, I immediately remembered why I had forgotten it. More so, why my brain had completely erased it from my memory. And it was because it was so darn embarrassed over how badly I liked this character! The second I heard him speaking when rewatching it, it hit me like a bus all over again in the feelings department. I must've been so gosh darn embarrassed over how not only did I immediately have feelings, but it wasn't a small amount of feelings either, that my brain just completely nuked any memory of it ever! Jokes on you though, brain, you love it. At least, you do now!

After months of expeditions and 'quiting', I have finally found the video again of Francesco playing with a soccer ball. May or may not post clip later. I am foaming at the mouth at the moment, so bonkers wild that I've full circled back to sounding tame

[pavedinashes-if]

Instead of changing their names, when doing asks such as scenarios or something, color code. If you're set on the names. Maybe a specific emoji for each ro/character.

That is actually a terrific idea! The problem was though that the colous available for text here are limited and I don‘t want to overcomplicate things. Luckily there are now 12 heart colours 🥳 So i picked them and now it should be easy to refer to each of the ROs even if we got F twice. Thanks a lot for the idea 🫶🏻
