If I could just point out for a moment how obvious it is that he got a new wig for the occasion. The density of hairs in his toupee, as pictured below, have “miraculously” increased in the span of a few (I’m sure drug-fueled) days. There is more hairs per centimeter on the scalp, obscuring known bald spots. The darker hair color is indeed there to blend wig hairs with his remaining hairs, making the areas where the wig flaps would be, nearly imperceptible. If you could please spread the word that Harry Styles is a bald motherfucker, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and god bless.

a few weeks ago i was definitely not in the bald harry camp. but the spanish guy and the brits and i'm now 80% into wig toupee territory. his hair is suspiciously more thick, and i definitely think the dyed hair is a deliberate ploy to try and help make it look more normal. his hair looks MUCH thicker than it did last week.

also his botox is outrageous. with a forehead that huge, for it not to move at all, and look like it's all strained like that. the man is 29! with a plastic hollywood forehead already. i feel the same way about it like with olivia's, when you have a huge forehead i feel like any botox usage should be minimised as it's so noticeable.

also very obvious fake tan added. i guess they all decided him looking like a weird gaunt pale cokehead wasn't it.

and the fake humility? fake aww shucks? fake embarrassed act? bringing in his SISTER to sit with him for the first time ever at one of these fancy events? his PR team worked like they were working for the CIA trying to overthrow a latin american democracy. i'm surprised they didn't pull in those bakery workers to sit with him.

~What i couldve been~

I was just gonna do the adult timeline zelda but im so enchanted by the idea of these two versions of the same character. People always talk about how link would be changed but never zelda.

an actual footage of me opening tumblr and seeing video of max mentioning grindr AGAIN and clip of him taking off his pants:

[buckleys9-1-1]

oliver: *being skeptic and making sure not to spoil anything in interviews*

lou: so yeah eddie is also gay and tommy was supposed to be with him but that fell through

ryan: so buck and eddie are in love and love each other to their cores and are gonna get even closer this season

abc pr team: *puts ryan on family feud with the 4 actors who play the canonically queer characters of 9-1-1*

everybody but oliver basically outting eddie including ryan himself is so funny to me

puma it's race week party people 🥳

[lestappen-inchident]

Charles: Max, do you ever think before you speak?

Max: Sure! I think ‘Wow, that’s hilarious’, and then I say it.

[hyacinthsdiamonds]

You know, in movies where they get a character to essentially glow up to seduce someone, but then they're really, really bad at flirting? That's Charles, seemingly being assigned by the GPDA to swear, and him essentially becoming a wide-eyed country girl in the big city for the first time during this mission* lmao. He tried so hard to make it look casual, but he practically tripped over himself to bring Max and his penalty up at every opportunity in preparation of dropping the swear bomb and possibly joining him in community service 😭✋️.

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.

They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.

They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.

Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.

On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

Being a buddie fan is a roller coaster cos like reading the interviews is like:

🎢📈📈📈friendship is at the core of that coupling

🎢📈📈📈 Eddie is the most important relationship for buck and buck second only to Chris for Eddie

🎢📉📉📉so important to portray men as vulnerable with their friends

🎢📈📈📈this goes past friendship and I love you to the core

🎢📉📉📉they do a good job of introducing Marisol

🎢📈📈📈well there is a lot of change for both of us that’s all I can say

🎢📈📈📈there is a lot of change in that dynamic and how they interact, yeah we’re trying to give the audience what they want

🎢📈📈📈closer than ever

🎢📈📈📈real dad , good cop/bad cop

🎢📈📈📈semi coparent role

🎢📉📉📉uncle Buck

had to draw this to understand the way i feel about him now that the manga's ended. 🥲 on that note: if you like hawks and his ending, maybe don't read my tags lol. it's not bashing (imo) but they're not v nice. 😅

bg + unobstructed pose under the cut!

his expression's a lil different 'cuz i only changed the merged layer, all the lighting effects already flattened onto it. 💀 alas.

[goongiveusnothing]

Well, looky here. Guess which secretly straight and massive fraud came crawling back to his 1D roots and suddenly remembered his bandmates’ names.

HE'S A HUMBLE KING. he remembers his roots! i'm surprised he didn't name drop all the ladies who worked in that bakery with him.

PR notes: mention your privilege, sound down to earth, mention your roots, MENTION YOUR FAMILY. you know, normal stuff most people can do without having to have an entirely scripted PR response drafted up. also, lessen the cocaine usage this go around! the people are talking! and tidy up the toupee!

miscellaneous danyal al ghul things

specifically about the danyal al ghul from my post/prompt here and i wanna get my misc. headcanons/thoughts on him (especially in his early stay with the fentons) out here before i make any other danyal al ghul aus

list under the cut because whoops this got longer than i expected. which really i should have expected

the Fentons are unaffiliated with the League, which was perfect for Danny faking his death.

he struggles with empathy. Empathy was not taught nor encouraged while he was with the League, so it's a skill that's been pretty stunted. At 15 he's better at empathizing with people, but he still struggles with it. He's pretty bad at reassuring/comforting people and usually acts as an emotional rubber duck for Sam and Tucker to vent to if need be. He sometimes offers blunt and sometimes mean opinions, especially if its about another person.

Sam and Tucker do not know he's an ex-assassin, they are however, pretty positive that he used to be part of an eco-fascist cult with a focus on martial arts?? They've been helping him tone down some of his more,,, extreme views on humanity ever since they caught wind of his more extreme ideologies.

He and Sam are still avid environmentalists and feed into each other quite a bit. They spend plenty of time at protests and pestering the school into more eco-friendly options.

Dash is not dead on the sole fact that Danny knew he had to lay low in Amity Park and killing someone was not, in fact, 'laying low'.

he did, however, traumatize him when Dash first tried to bully him. Safe to say, Danny is not bullied at school and neither are Sam and Tucker.

Danny didn't make any friends in his first year at Amity Park. He was surly, grumpy, standoffish, more stubborn than Sam, and pretty self-important about himself. Jazz was trying to teach him against these things, but she is a 12 year old unaffiliated with the League. Danny did not respect her nor listen to a word she said. It wasn't until like, year two that he finally started paying to mind what she was saying and slowly started to improve on himself

Sam approached him first, he rebuffed her quite harshly, and then Danny approached her sometime afterward when he overheard her talking about environmental rights. Sam completely ignored him though when he agreed with her, and Danny had to later learn that he needed to apologize for being rude to her when they first met. He did so eventually, and they started to talk more with Tucker and Sam.

Danny's a bit more reserved than he is in canon, although he steadily learns how to act as a regular teenager when he's out in public. He's a bit more friendlier at least, although when he's around Sam and Tucker he drops the act. He still has a somewhat formal way of talking, it's just become more casual after a lot of ribbing from Sam and Tucker. When he's angry or annoyed he starts talking poshly though.

His humor is relatively the same as in canon, if somehow dryer and more insulting at some points

Those rare moments where he gets really pissed usually ends up with him insulting someone in arabic or any of the other languages he picked up from the league. He is the go-to for Tucker's Spanish homework. (Tucker makes that mistake and learns that Danny is a very strict teacher)

while Danny doesn't view the Fentons as his parents, even five years after living with them, he does respect them to some amount. He respects them enough at least that when Vlad Masters comes sniffing around, he is suitably offended on both Maddie and Jack's behalf. And when he finds out Vlad was the one who tried to kill Jack and tried to tell him to renounce him as his father/parental guardian, danny threw a suitably sharp object at him and insulted him quite horrendously

Vlad still wants him as his kid. In fact perhaps even moreso after this.

Danny trains with Maddie to keep up with his training. It's not quite the same but it prevents him from getting completely rusty

Sam and Tucker know that Danny has a little brother, but nothing else beyond that other than Danny cares about him quite a lot and that he got his facial scar from keeping him safe.

Danny cares about Sam, Tucker, and Jazz quite a bit, but he struggles to convey it. Especially early on when he realized he cared about them and like instinct started being harsher to them and more critical of their actions. This resulted in quite a few arguments with Sam and Tucker and Jazz until he got sat down and told outright that the way he was treating them wasn't okay. It's a process he's still trying to unlearn even at 15. He has become kinder towards them as a result, and has begun looking for what they did right rather than what they did wrong.

He harbors a lot of guilt over how he treated Damian in the League, and its a pretty big conflict he has with himself since he's torn between telling himself it was for the best to make sure Damian survived the League, and feeling like crap over how harsh/critical of Damian he was and realizing that he probably could have come up with a better way of training him despite being a child himself at the time. Danny comes to the realization that more than anything, that he just wants to apologize.

His ghost form, specifically is outfit, is a combination of his hazmat suit and his uniform from the league, and he carries a sword with him. He also doesn't know how to react to Dani, honestly. Although it is fair to say that he figures out she's a clone instantly because of her whole 'I'm your third cousin once removed' thing and he freaks out. She spills the beans pretty quickly after that. And Danny is pretty skittish around her - or the equivalent of skittish. Her being younger than him kinda reminds him of Damian, so he's uncomfortable by her presence but learns to warm up to her.

Need someone to get in a 2000s style scandal real quick- oh shit some driver got caught smoking? Amazing, Max does coke before every race? Expected, hidden mistress (or mister) and kids? Perfect, another spygate? Absolutely, Fernandos being Fernando? We love to see it, a blonde driver finally broke and is committing war crimes with a queer aura that can only be found in nico rosberg and whatever the fuck is going between Sergio ramos and that blond twink from Croatia? Let me get my popcorn

"I came on the radio and I was trying to stay cool ... A bit of immaturity. I'm being very sensible right now but let's call it immaturity. I think he is obviously frustrated with the team's call, but let's be real this is something we talk about before the race. It was very likely I was going to use the soft at the end. He knew I was going to have the pace advantage at the end and if he gets the call, then its gunna happen. Also, he's not giving me points. We're fighting for 13. At least give us the chance to get one car into the points ..."

Prompt 80

 So Dan knows that there’s heroes that have gone back in time, he’s aware of that fact. But he doesn’t exactly care and has more important things to worry about. Like the fact that Danny and Ellie are now three years old, right when he’s moving, though maybe that’s a blessing in disguise seeing as the GIW are searching for them in Amity. 

  But still, he has more important things to worry about than the speedster vibrating five feet away from him. Like making sure Ellie and Danny are alright to visit (ugh) Peepaw Clocky while he goes to work. 

  Ms. Mercy is not messing around, which he appreciates in a workspace, but he has to wait for another opening in the daycare before he can bring his, as far as everyone else is aware, siblings who he got emergency custody of. 

  What with how Jazz is interning in Gotham, they figured Metropolis would be safer. Now if the speedster would stop following him, he would really appreciate it. He’s literally just an intern under Ms Mercy as an assistant, not even one of the scientists, and it’s not like his timeline of the end of the world exists anymore!

Max posting half of this photo, with the fans knowing damn well he’s talking to Charles, has gotta be the most Max Verstappen thing ever 😭
