#I send you a great hug

[tina-aumont]

It was 10 years ago today... 🥳

Ten years ago today I started this tumblr to show my love and respect towards Tina Aumont, she didn't have any website, and I decided to make this tumblr to celebrate her life and success, but also to celebrate her flaws...

Tina Aumont didn't have an easy life, but she was really special and a real free soul and that was the side of her that I wanted to explore here.

Over the years I've been collecting tones of magazines which I'm sharing, I've watched almost all of her films and I'm making screencaps, and now this blog is not only foccused on her but also on her beautiful family.

Over these 10 years I've met lots of people and this site has grown a lot, creating a beautiful community for Tina fans and lovers. Now I'm including her always beautiful mum, her aunties, counsins... and who knows what will come next.

One thing is certain, you are helping me a lot and I really appreciate it because Tina was love, and I try to give you all love Tina had.

I wish Tina somehow could knew about this site, but also all the meaning, all the love and inspiration she is still today.

Tina, we love you and we miss you, we would like to make you know that you are loved and we wish you could have stayed with us a little longer, but now you are with your mum, aunties, uncles, your ancestors and your babies, all together shining in the sky.

Thank you for coming down to Earth to say hi, now it's our turn to send you kisses in the sky and a great hug, we love you!!

“og 4 aliens very particular vibe in being ‘three distinct flavours of socially awkward loner and also valentino rossi’” LMAO I WAS JUST THINKING THIS!!!!!! That he has the funniest possible 3 foils in that era bc like…those three guys could not be less his vibe ~personality wise if they tried. And actually tbf I do think they WERE trying a lot of the time. Feeling very curious if you think there’s anything to the idea of how Marc was the first alien-era rival he had who was more on his level all around? Like early days Marc was kind of just 😀😀😀 all the time but I do think he can be v charming and is clearly extroverted as hell (tho like…notably also a loner but like…not by choice??). Like idk where im going w this but the contrast is interesting to me. IDK

to some extent! I'm not sure I'd necessarily call marc an extrovert, you can be charismatic and cheerful without being an extrovert - but also this is splitting hairs. the og four aliens are one guy who's on the 'roughly as extroverted as you can possibly get as a professional athlete' end of the spectrum and three guys who are on the 'roughly as introverted as you can possibly get as a professional athlete' end. now, tbh, I don't think valentino massively minded this. he's extroverted but crucially he's also got enough charm going for him that he could get his rivals to chat with him if he was so inclined. he had an increasingly friendly relationship with dani, there's real genuine warmth in how both of them talk about each other - ultimately dani might have been quite sullen and withdrawn in general, especially in his early years, but he got on well with valentino. casey and valentino had perfectly decent interpersonal chemistry, they got on well, and tbh they were still warm with each in-person long past the point where that relationship had rhetorically soured. with jorge... I mean, okay, no chemistry there, but that was also very much valentino's choice. I do not fundamentally doubt valentino's ability to charm twenty year old jorge lorenzo. I think just because they were DIFFERENT characters, that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't valentino's *type* personality-wise, like he does seem to be happy enough to be the chatty one who draws them out of their shells in that scenario. unless competitive necessity requires otherwise!! but as marc discovered, somewhat higher levels of extroversion does not protect you if that's the case

I will say I know you do put alien-era as a caveat, but it is still important to point out that marc is very much not the first valentino rival who doesn't fall in the introverted loner camp. valentino had a rival who matched his vibe!! who he had a real proper off-track friendship with, who he went on holidays with, who he had a warm relationship with for substantially longer than the marc/valentino honeymoon lasted. I think you can see the early marc era as a bit of a return to the friendlier vibes of the early noughties, but crucially it is a return. the early noughties was the last gasp before the sport came to be completely dominated by a bunch of young prodigies who had been moulded into perfect athletes and had less chance to grow into people outside of the sport - valentino is already part of that camp in everything but temperament, cf the contrast with biaggi. in the early noughties, he was surrounded by a bunch of older riders who varied dramatically in disposition... biaggi was the guy everyone had issues with, capirossi was always fond of valentino, kr jr he got on well with, he played a mentoring role for in hayden's rookie season... and of course, most importantly, the friendship with sete - now there's an obscenely friendly rivalry right until the very moment when it isn't. 2013-14 is a bit of a return to that more congenial climate, but at the end of the day that lot were still less likely to socialise than riders were back in the day. they just didn't have the time lol

so yeah, I mean. valentino clearly did take to marc on a personal level, and marc is definitely closer to valentino on the introversion/extroversion spectrum than the three other aliens are. though that is also... not difficult. there is something quite funny about how 2006-07 went from valentino's pov. the engine regs changed, valentino literally blinked and suddenly all his opps were toddlers. went from goofing off with capirossi on the sepang 2006 podium to running a daycare centre overnight. and marc is part of that! it's also a massive change in that suddenly, valentino was surrounded by rivals who had been influenced by watching him ride as they grew up and were all really, really, really weird about him. marc with his little bike collection, jorge with his dabbling in pseudoscientific schools of psychology, casey and his championship-winning shirt, dani... well, tbf, I do actually think dani was pretty normal about valentino - probably because he'd known him the longest. had gotten drunk with valentino in the days when the bloke was just an idol and not a god. which is an underrated reason why the dani/valentino relationship never got so weird imo, one that goes beyond competitive calculus - dani was the most capable of interacting with valentino as just another guy. with all three of marc/jorge/casey, that idolisation dynamic does contribute significantly to the interpersonal turmoil

but that's a topic for another day! in conclusion, marc defo the dispositionally cheeriest foil of the alien lot, albeit somewhat by default, and WAS part of the reason why motogp got a bit of a mood lift in that 2013-14 period after what had just been a dire few years vibes-wise. mediocre racing, devastation caused by the financial crisis, tragedy... motogp was feeling quite lifeless in 2011-12 in particular, and those years do have a bit of a drab energy to them. in that sense, what followed was a bit of a reversion to the mean until the vibes completely went off the cliff. have they ever recovered? who can say

while i’m still thinking about it i just wanted to say the crowd at the okc show was so great and probably the most fun i’ve ever had at a show! i got so many compliments on my outfit and everyone in the stardust project meetup was so sweet and amazing and fun to work with, and everyone i handed 8 balls to was so excited to participate.

also i ran out of my mania bracelets first because so many people wanted them, and then the girls in the row next to me and i were waving the disloyal order bubbles to each other so we could take turns popping them and we grabbed each other when tiffany blews came on and !!!!! idk i had a very good time and the vibes were awesome both in the crowd and on stage and it was probably one of the most fun shows i have ever been to because of that.

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.

like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.

og quadrumvirate warriors have been in the trenches doing ground work way before gmmtv even knew of their potential we had the vision and we held it at gunpoint until the vision had us in return and when podd and papang are gonna show up together on that stage at the gmmtv 2025 lineup the world won't remember us it won't mention us but we will know who we are and what we did!!!!!!!!

WE'RE SEXY PEOPLE WITH BIG BRAINS AND IF WE MADE PODDPAPANG HAPPEN THEN NOTHING IS STOPPING US FROM MAKING THE ENTIRE QUADRANGULATION OF UNDERRATED MEN SERIES HAPPEN TOO

happy holidays to those who celebrate and merry days regardless to those who don’t! hope you all have fantastic times ahead. ♡♡♡ here’s a cute and kind of funny headcanon to make your day even sweeter, though: 

aether loves giving out gifts and souvenirs of his journeys to others. his gifts may look and sound strange to most, but his reasoning behind them can be quite endearing. if he sees something that reminds him even slightly of your muse, he’ll get that so he can send it as a gift. for example, if he finds an odd rock that doesn’t have any gleam to it and looks more like metal, but isn’t really metal, he’ll send it to zhongli, thinking he ought to appreciate it. did he find a fairy tale in a very old notebook, handwritten by what seems to be a child of decades ago? he’ll send it to nahida. a porch with just petals inside? ningguang must see how ironic and fascinating that is, right? he’ll send it to her. oh, what about this multicoloured leaf here? that reminds him of kazuha. an apple that doesn’t rot and seems extremely sweet? venti. more often than not, he won’t write letters explaining his gifts or why he sent them when he did, he’ll just send them through the mail, and that’s it; he’ll do so without uttering a single word, even when he meets his friends again. mostly, this is because he has some trouble holding a pen and writing (it feels very unnatural for him since he’s so used to only handling weapons, rather than indulging in artistry), sure, but part of it is also because he doesn’t think it’s necessary (even if, c’mon now, it probably is). all of this to say that… if your muse gets a package from aether with just a single feather inside the envelope or even just a tiny rock or seashell, don’t be offended. it’s his special, alien-esque way of saying he cares about your muse, more than he can ever express it! it’s him silently saying: you’re in my thoughts, even if we’re apart. i see you everywhere. i remembered and i’ll continue to remember. until next time.
