#Race is a stupid boi

[raikkoberg]

At this point, according to some braindead fans, even breathing is a crime when you're Carlos Sainz. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to change my career path to a lawyer because as a CS55 fan, defending Carlos has become an hourly job.

"He is not a team player"/"He is selfish"- you go sit in an F1 car, try to compete at 300kmph+, do your best to make up places, all while racing for your fucking career, and then come lecture me about being a team player. Like what the fuck is he supposed to do? Just let others pass him? Are we even watching the same sport?

In racing, you either fight or you fall behind. Nobody likes to fall behind without a fight.

Carlos raced, fought, earned those places and got that podium. And he won't be apologizing for that.

maybe im just being pedantic but is anyone else irrationally annoyed about how ryan breslin isnt credited on spotify for king of new york? while ben, kara, and lewis are??

like obviously i love the others, but i mean kony is ryan's song. like ok just counting their solo lines:

davey: 1 line

les: 2 lines

katherine: 5 lines

race: 12 lines

he's credited in the dance break version so why not the main version ??

hes also credited in once and for all, even though hes literally only got two lines in that ??

spotify make it make sense

catch me laughing in the club awkwardly because this season has a 19 year old blonde female companion from London, a space travelling left of law brunette queer boy who flirts heavily with the doctor, absolutely zero writers of colour and no mention of sensitivity readers…….and next season the new companion is a woman of colour. uh oh!

Do you think ancients have nerves in their anemone hair? And if they wanted to cut it to a shorter length would they need to numb it first?

stars and heavens above you've no idea how much i had been mullin this shit over, fuckin.... cuz like Technically that hair is what a proper (our real life) sea anemones are. that's literally just it, the rest of the body is some weird ass evolution stunt circus that i've given up on tryin to explain to myself an hour into initial designing process. so by That logic they REALLY probably shouldn't be cutting it

but we don't have the evolution stunt circus rest of the body for nothin n they already do worrying body modifications so feckin hell might as well, right?

you can notice with Sparrows that she never really cuts it and it grows rather slowly

(and also i am shit at watching out for the hair length most of the time)

so "haircuts" would be probably pretty rare and usually done by the wealthy or smth

but Also when i drew Wind as an Ancient

my thought process was that the "hair" can be either pulled out completely (probably for those religious purposes again) or fall out naturally despite being a much more solid part of the Ancients than our own hair. es probably Some kind of medical condition

seeing stupid posts today so: requiring an actor to disclose their sexuality to play a role is fucking ridiculous and real life human beings cannot "queerbait" because they're real people and not a character on your shitty little detective show

Brocedes, always

Nico doesn’t know what to say— he thinks faintly that he’s going to a have a hell of a bruise to explain the next morning. 

Lewis doesn’t look much better opposite him, hair mussed and breathing heavy, a tear in his uniform shirt. He’s clenching his hands by his sides, rhythmically flexing his fingers. 

It’s stupid— they’re behind the school gym, faint chalk marks from art class still staining the pavement and the chatter of students just behind the wall. 

It doesn’t really matter though.

They could be anywhere and do this; always.

Lewis gathers saliva into his mouth, a horrible, grotesque noise; he turns his head to the side and spits a wet pink gob out onto the concrete. Nico fights to not look disgusted, willing his face to stay neutral.

“I don’t care if you thought it was dangerous, or you thought I wouldn’t win, or what—“ Lewis is pointing a finger at him now and Nico is sneering. He can feel his mouth moving even though he doesn’t want it to, it’s like an instinctual response.

There are grazes on the backs of Lewis’ knuckles.

He hates this, the rhythm that they’re caught in.

“I’m breaking up with you—” it bursts out of him, and he can see Lewis reel back, surprised. Nico never comes out the gate swinging. He thinks, almost laughs, whats the point now if the gate is smashed to pieces behind him, “—and I’m not racing with you anymore.”

“Well—“ 

There’s a burst of laughter from somewhere else, the smell of hot baking asphalt in Nico’s nose. Sweat drips behind his ear steadily. They stare at each other.

Lewis continues.

“—I don’t care. You’re shit anyway, everyone comes to watch me.”

Nico blanches, can feel himself go red right up to the roots of his pale blonde hair, the way he hates. 

“Fuck off,” it’s a weak comeback, sounds pathetic in his ears. He repeats it to see if that makes it sound better.

It doesn’t.

He thought he might’ve had the last word, for once.

send me a ship + word/sentence!

Making very dumb choices on what to work on

[cashmoneyyysstuff]

shoto todoroki is fucking shameless. and surprisingly clingy.

he’d done a good job becoming a little more social little by little. he’s still a little wonky and awkward during the few times he tries to make conversation, but he tries and that’s the good part. you’re proud of him.

you’ve known shoto since you were kids, his closest friend, you’d seen him through it all and you’re so grateful that he’s found friends he feels comfortable and happy with, though he always reassures you that you’re dearest to him, which always makes you a little too giddy and flustered for somebody who’s supposed to be his closest friend and nothing more.

you’re in the cafeteria chatting with your mutual friends, shoto had told you to go off without him since he needed to go the bathroom and you found yourself sitting next to midoriya when he’d scooched in next to you, happy to see there was still a spot for him at the table. you liked midoriya a lot, he was sweet, cute and most importantly he made shoto come out of his shell in a way that you regrettably never could, plus the way he flails around when he gets embarrassed is pretty funny.

(you did notice ochaco’s face going completely blank for a few seconds, but you didn’t think much about it.)

after a few minutes of giggling and chatting shoto shows up, and something is immediately wrong with the way his natural straight face goes absolutely dead in the span of three seconds. it’s subtle, but you know him and it’s there. there also seems to be a chill in the room now.

he’s at your side of the table in three seconds, but he doesn’t register your smile in greeting as his cold gaze is glued to the green haired boy next to you.

“midoriya,” and his voice even sounds a little deeper, colder as he speaks like he somehow managed to use his right side on his mouth.

“that’s my seat.” he states calmly.

“oh ! my bad, todoroki !” izuku splutters an apology, but shoto’s eyes do not waver, staying fixed on the boy until he grabs his tray and makes a move to stand “i didn’t realize this was your spot, sorry !”

you feel a little bad at how intensely he’s apologizing, but you’re still shell shocked about that look. shoto seems unfazed though, his expression morphs slightly when izuku goes to squeeze in next to iida.

“i always sit next to yn.”

it’s so stupid. really, it is. how fast that makes your heart beat. because shoto does always sit next to you, he always has and he still always does when you come over to his house. but it’s the fact that he didn’t say he always sits here, in his unassigned assigned seat.

he said he always sits next to you. and your mind and heart races.

you don’t get much time to think because immediately he’s next to you, sighing before sitting as close to you as he can. he looks over to you and you look back, still a little startle but his features are soft again when he looks at you. he drops his utensils to thread his fingers with yours under the table.

“ did you wash your hands, mister ?” you tease, but you squeeze his hand when he squeezes yours. he frowns but it’s not the one from before. it almost looks like a pout and you snort.

“yes, i did.” he snips, you giggle and his eyes soften. even as you assure him you were just kidding he doesn’t mind, he couldn’t be mad at you.

you offer him a bite of your lunch as truce and he leans forward and plops a piece in his mouth from your chopsticks, then offers you a bit of his precious soba noodles and even holds a hand below them so they don’t spill because he insists on feeding you himself.

your friends pretend they don’t see the lowkey romantic exchange, but with the way shoto keeps insisting to have you eat his food and the soft barely there smile when you crack a joke that manages to break through his icey demeanor, they can start to figure out why he wanted to sit next to you so bad.
