#I ofc want him to win

[overlyinvestedinlife]

Again no matter what happens in this finals Jannik has played so fucking amazing not just this week but these last couple of months.

The fact that he’s gotten to this point beating the people he did, coming through his group unbeaten despite his losing h2h against the other three members, beating Med for the third straight time.

His growth has been amazing and I just hope he play his best in this finals.

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations - all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

act i scene i: older, childless, bachelor Barbarian!Bakugo finds you six months pregnant hiding in an empty stable during one of his clan raids--and instead of slaughtering you as a much younger him might've done...he throws you onto his cart of treasures and decides to take you home so he can start the family he never had with you and your child as his bride and baby.

Saw a post abt the Sonic movies that was like "plz filter negativity posts better" which is GOOD AND TRUE you should be doing that. Ok. But then they kept going to imply that the criticisms of the Sonic movies are all entirely Personal and Ignorable and not like. Usually abt the horrific copaganda, misogynistic writing, and Paramount's disgusting zionism.... Guys a lot of ppls problem w the Knuckles show wasn't JUST a bastardization of Knuckles' character or thinking Wade was annoying or whatever, but like was focused on the grotesque Zionist message from that one episode 😭😭😭 you can enjoy something and still recognize that it has intrinsic and huge glaring flaws and talk abt them. I think actually you Should be speaking up abt the misogyny, zionism and propaganda the SCU supports and discusses, ESPECIALLY if you like the movies! Its important to be able to recognize these things in media and admit that even media you personally enjoy can be deeply problematic, instead of hiding it away and pretending those HUGE FLAWS aren't issues actually....

writing pride tag

tagged by @aalinaaaaaa, thank you! im having a blast writing the absolutely heinous bit of Vizaeth/Pharaun toxic delight at the end of the next Obsession fic, so here’s an excerpt from the rough draft that im proud of right now:

[ID - a red decorative divider]

“So now you’re bedding halfbreeds,” Pharaun begins. “Is there anything you won’t let fuck you, or will I have a troglodyte in my quarters tomorrow night?” He’s so beautiful when he’s angry. That flush of frustration and righteousness, the way his lip curls, his chin tilts. Just the way a drow should look when insulted. “Keep sending me to steal things without giving me all the information, and it’ll be a demon in your bed,” Vizaeth says, hopping up to perch on the edge of Pharaun’s desk. He picks up the vial of violet powder, turning it in his fingers. “Did you want me caught or killed this time?” “Both would have been a rather lovely treat.” Pharaun snatches the vial from him, then sweeps up the others, shoving them into a desk drawer. Vizaeth climbs properly onto the desk, sitting up on his knees so he can meet Pharaun’s eyes. Pharaun’s hand leaves the drawer and goes to his throat. “You can’t do anything to me,” Vizaeth whispers through the grip. He lays his hand over Pharaun’s heart. “You’re mine.” “You think I won’t find a way to break a geas laid by an apprentice as incompetent as you?” Pharaun says, leaning so close their lips brush. Heat shivers down Vizaeth’s spine. “Your Weave is rotting and so will your spell.” “But it hasn’t yet,” Vizaeth whispers. Pharaun’s eyes nearly glow, dark and angry and red. “It hasn’t yet,” he grits out, and pulls Vizaeth’s mouth to his.

kiburi x ushari but specifically doomed kiburi x ushari. more than anyone else in the army they believe with full sincerity that scar's plan HAS to work because they can't succeed without him

i need the silly season to start right now. like put liam in that vcarb seat, renew checo’s contract, pray to god make a pilgrimage idc but that mercedes car needs to put lewis on his last ever mercedes podium, fred stops fucking up and charles restarts his quali masterclass and then basically never stops getting podiums, yuki gets yoints every single race + gets top 5 at some point, and williams engineers somehow get a massive raise and a will to live.

i just wish lando knew when to shut the fuck up, and yes i know he’s grown and no one forces him to say things. but it just feels like whenever something good happens he has a way of spoiling it.

[tommygotwrittenoff]

the fact that eddie and maddie have never interacted outside a group setting is so funny actually. you cannot tell me those two wouldnt get on like a house on fire. i fear the day we get a solo maddie and eddie scene is the day we get buddie canon

FUCK RECENT BOOK JUST ENDED?!?!???!!

[just-sp-in-inginthevoid]

I love how Shio never explicitly state wanting to kill Hibaru. Like sure, we understand it pretty clearly he doesn't have to say it (and 'I was hoping to shoot right through Gido to you too' is pretty straightforward), we see that he's trying to, but.

So far, when death and Hibaru are mentioned together he either asks to tell Hibaru died (and then afterward the goons went to say to kill Hibaru and everyone who sides with him - but it's Satsuki who passed the message so who knows how faithful he has been to Shio's wording) or he includes himself next to the mention of death - they've just seen their astros could compete with one another and they were no saying who would be the winner, both being incredibly destructive even when they hold back, but why would Shio with a 'show no weakness' mentality feel the need to share he has as much chance as Hibaru to die? He's trapping Hibaru here too, in the sense that he's prophesying him to become his executioner despite Hibaru's unwillingness to reciprocate this fratricide. And of course, since Shio doesn't explicitly states that he may die by Hibaru's hands, nor that Hibaru may die by his own, (and it is the most obvious option, there's no need for it to be explicit if that's what it is) is them dying because of one another truly the only option they'd have to die? 'One of us will die', that's an affirmation, there's no other outcome possible but this one - either Shio succeeds at what he has to do which includes getting rid of Hibaru or he'll die because the only way to stop him is to kill him, because Shio won't stop no matter what as long as he can do what he has to do.

But he never says 'I want to kill you', 'I will kill you'. There's 'I was hoping to shoot right through Gido to you too' and 'I always hated those naive eyes of yours, maybe the death of your friends will darken them' but there's never 'you and you only' - why go through Gido? Because that was the best way to be unseen and launch a surprise attack? Why bother to darken Hibaru's eyes and target Terasu, Kinpa and Kuran and not kill him straightaway when he could have (ofc it's to see these naive eyes disappear, but then it raises the issue again of: does Shio really wants Hibaru dead (I think he attempted it enough for the answer to be yes) or would he be okay just shattering his will? (and to that, the answer only becomes a strict 'no' after Shio gets to witness how powerful Hibaru's astro can be - only then does he implies himself being killed is an option, one Hibaru would be forced to take if he wants to protect himself and his loved-ones. If he does have the most powerful astro like Satsuki said in chapter 2, Hibaru can compete.))

Satsuki tells to 'stop playing games' in chapter 19 - implying Shio getting to the roof to confront Hibaru Faction was.. useless? They have other goals after all, and it seems he could have retrieved the Daybreak ore no matter what

Where was I going with all of this. don't remember. oh well

I'll keep an eye on how Wakui keeps wording Shio's sentences when it comes to Hibaru (and by that I want to say that it'd be by the intermediary of translation and I hope that not too many nuances etc would be loss)

Ride 732: Buddies X 4!!

Pag 1

1: Eight people's gaze, they all have their eyes fixed on the Inter High!!

Pag 2

1: Pfui

2: Oii, Miki!

4: What are you looking aaat.... Mikiii

Wa-!

5: Kya- Aya-chan, you- you scared me!

Ohhhm you're hiding it!? What were you looking at while sighing....? Maybe a message from someone...?

Pag 3

1: It's everyone's number of laps in the training camp....

2: This year my brother is sending me the electric scoreboard data, so I can see them live. Now they've started the afternoon practice of the second day

Woah, it's true, there's so many numbers. But in that case don't hide and don't sigh

3: The subject and your reaction don't match, Miki

You're really a bicycle otaku, girl!!

4: Ah right, they're all at the training camp now

Yeah, in Shizuoka

5: No wonder I though that that lively red-head isn't here

7: The bike club isn't here

Pag 4

1: The corridors feel kinda lonely somehow

4: … yeah

5: But right now, they're running desperately

7: They're conscious of the remaining time

8: of this overwhelming journey

Their last...

Pag 5

1: The third years are looking towards their last Inter High

Pag 8

2: It's curious

3: We ran so many laps and the course is 5km long, and yet these eight people unexpectedly happen to be here at the same time

4: We're still in the middle of the second day, so we don't know what's going to happen, but... if we only talk about the number of laps

5: Then right now there are eight people in the lead!!

6: Or maybe

10: It's not really unexpected?

Pag 9

1: It's not!!

At least for us!!

3: Kaburagi and Danchiku jumped ahead!!

4: Kaburagi!!

5: Uh.... I heard about it but, consciuosly looking closely at it again.... re-really

Pag 10

1: Danchiku really has become huge!!

3: I got this bike that's the perfect size for me from Touji-san

5: What's... this... Danchiku's pressure....

6: It's so much higher than before!!

Pag 11

1: Right now you felt like “Danchiku's pressure has gotten stronger”, right? Sugimoto-san

3: It did get stronger

Honestly

4: Until now we've run more than 400km and his strength has certainly grown...

And it's conveyed 100% with that bike!! He's sure and confident!!

Do you know what that means, Sugimoto-san!?

5: The two of us simply chased Imaizumi-san and the others and ran so to not open the distance again

So, honestly, it was unexpected

Teh!!

6: Kaburagi-san and the others purpousely matched tehir paces with them!?

Pag 12

1: Kaburagi, Danchiku....!! As expected your target is...!!

2: 400km is a big enough distance that we could make up a special move!!

4: Go!! This is... Danchiku Special Move!!

Pag 13

1: Bamboo Hop Shot!!

Pag 14

1: He covered so much distance in an instant!!

2: That huge frame

4: He's accelerating by bending like a bamboo!!

7: That's right, this is the special technique that we made up during this training camp!!

Bamboo is flexible and elastic, and also....

Pag 15

1: Strong!!

2: Kuaaaaa

Pag 16

2: Sugimoto reacted alone to Danchiku's acceleration and caught up to them!!

4: As expected, that saves us time, Sugimoto-san

Yeah... the two of us have to go to the Inter High

5: Moreover, we can't play an active part if we don't get stronger in this training camp, and in order for him to fully recover from his slump and go to the Inter High

Pag 17

1: He has to defeat a human pillar like you, Sugimoto-san!!

3: Their target is Sugimoto!!

4: Huh, Sugimoto-kun!?

Sugimoto!!

5: Huh!?

Uh....

6: I want Danchiku to race you and gain back his confidence, and recover completely!!

Pag 18

1: You're speaking as if you're assuming I'll lose

2: Assuming? Well-

3: You're being too rude, Issa

Am I? But results are everything in this world

4: Sugimoto-san and...

Danchiku-san....

5: I mean, the fact that you've caught up now means you're “accepting”

6: Just a little more

Until the complete recovery!!

7: Aren't you cute?

Pag 19

1: My kouhai are recklessly in high spirit and want to practice with a more experienced senpai!!

Alright then!!

I'll let you

2: Come at me, second year Danchiku Ryuhou!!

Wa!! Thanks

Sugimoto-san!!

Pag 20

2: He accepted it and ran ahead!!

3: Sugimoto is leading!!

4: He's assertive!!

As expected!!

5: It's gonna be challenging, Danchiku!!

6: Ahh, one thing I forgot to say, is that Danchiku's special technique we came up with during this training camp... there's one more thing to it

Pag 21

1: It's called Bamboo Shout!!

2: I think you'll get to look closely at it later

4: By the way, Sugimoto-san

What about your special technique?

5: Ah...!! My self-awareness isn't that low that I didn't prepare for it!!
