has someone checked on helmut marko? he might be lost in a flower shop somewhere picking out 500 gratitude bouquets for charles leclerc after another stunning assist to rbr
#charles leclerc#helmut marko#thinking about charles scheming to let checo by him in Vegas last year to try to help him keep ahead of the mercs to save the p2#obv last race#max indirectly/directly helping this race to hold back lando too#I see the lestappen teammate vision#they will overcome the separation of teams to still stunt on everyone else together

Every time I read Fernando cursing in fic, I can only think about this clip and then my brain short-circuits
#i have many feelings i shall not disclose about this clip#but i thought abt it again bcs in some fic i was reading it had fernando saying 'joder'#AND THIS CLIP JUST SHOT DIRECTLY INTO THE FOREFRONT OF MY BRAIN#fernando season 1 truly fed us so well#like seriously that show is a fernando fans wet dream theres just...so much...interesting...stuff...#i kept having to replay this clip bcs aaaahhhhhhhh my god.......the cursing...the low tone...the rolling Rs#wdym this clip is about being ahead in a race? all i can hear is sexy cursing and that it is brilliant :)#and nando himself listening back to the clip and just nodding confidently...I AM DEAD HE KILLED ME#(im not really used to reading Spanish J(too used to English J and German J) so the H sound doesnt really pop into my head immediately)#(so i could never really like visualize Spanish speaking charas saying words like joder in a sexy way)#(and then they showed that part in the show and my brain leaked out of my head)#*not actually strollonso but strollonso in my heart because this clip is how I visualize dom Fernando hehehe#i dont remember the ep i think it was either 4 or 5#i think itd be funny if it was 4 tho bcs i think that ep had the most insane clips and gave so much content#(that one had kitty fernando/carlando sr gay drama scene/nando getting railed(thematically)/etc)#fernando alonso#fernando(show)#fa14#formula 1#formula one#f1#we do a little bit of f1#fernando s1e5

This is why a lot of us were pissed off about what happened in Singapore. Charles agreed to play second fiddle because he felt he didn't do as well as he could've in qualifying and the polesitter should get the preferential strategy/teammate protection. He went off and worked to find a solution and qualified on pole in Austin and still somehow ends up with this impossible strategy and gets team ordered out of his teammate's way after the pitwall fumbled his race with their decisions. When even pole isn't enough to secure those privileges, that's just demotivating and insulting.
#charles leclerc#no words. the comms were like 'oh is carlos gonna try and keep him within drs to help him keep checo behind' like lol ofc not#ofc cs finds a second wind and suddenly believes hes racing lando for the podium when he's in a position to potentially help charles#it's painfully predictable#not to mention theyre completely fucking his stats by having his teammate finish ahead of him in a race where he started 1st#at the end of the season we're gonna have people acting like it's 2021 all over again ignoring all context to tout cs as the better driver

#they may not have loved each other... they may not even have particularly liked each other... but they could always agree on one thing#and that is how incredibly irritating they both found jorge lorenzo#//#brr brr#morale tag#like the context for that sepang 2010 photo is that jorge is celebrating his title five metres away#and at least they were able to slightly spoil his day by finishing ahead of him. obviously valentino's even more thrilled because he WON#but y'know. important moment for spite lovers everywhere. that race isn't quite as funny as motegi but it's right up there#by far their funniest interaction is still when dovi clarified to valentino in a presser that him and jorge were NOT in fact friends

while i do have a soft spot for “hobbits age slower than humans so 33 for them is our physical 18” i rlly dont think that’s how it is bc they get to about the same age as humans before death by old age, i also really dont think we appreciate enough a few things about what this means narratively and thematically
tolkien really said no child soldiers, no 20-something year old soldiers, they’re not really adults yet, they barely know anything of the world we’re sending them to die for it and that’s not okay, not when there are other options
he also addresses this with the hobbits specifically, frodo and bilbo are 50 when they go on their journeys, FIFTY, and we can see that they handle them differently than the others. while bilbo changes afterwards, it’s not in a coming of age like we would see if 50 really was the equivalent of ~27, he just accepts a part of himself he’s been suppressing for years, for him it’s accepting that getting older and being an adult doesn’t restrict you from the excitement and opportunities of youth. similarly frodo doesn’t change much either outside of his ptsd, all of his change is trauma, not maturity
now sam and merry are both past the age of majority, but they still grow into themselves in a way bilbo and frodo do not, they mature
but pippin, sweet beautiful pippin grows the most out of all of them. he’s the most childish, always running after his cousins and you can tell he’s not even 30, this is HIS coming of age story, before this journey he’s known nothing of true responsibilities, but by the end he’s ready for when he eventually has to take over as thain of the shire
and i think that this is a really beautiful way of saying something that has started to get really popular in the last few years
instead of being terrified of that big 30, we should be excited for it, we should embrace it wholeheartedly, because it’s the time when we’ve finally started ironing out the last of the kinks in being an adult, we’re growing into our responsibilities and and we can start learning how to cultivate that balance of responsibility and excitement and FUN that makes life living instead of surviving
#tolkien#lord of the rings#lotr#hobbits#the hobbit#god i love these books so much#tolkien was so far ahead of his time#like obviously he had some issues#the race issues have had some really good talking points lately thanks to rop and people being more receptive to these discussions#but like everything else aged pretty well#his themes on gender are rarely paralleled even today by shit that passes the bechdel test#which is insane#*noodlespeaks

sliding in under the edge of october 27th to post this excerpt from chapter 74:
Cliopher drummed his heels against the hull, enjoying the still-so-familiar sound. He had spent uncountable hours sitting there, watching the sea, watching the sky, singing the Lays, drawing the dances over and over again in his mind's eye.
#the hands of the emperor#hands of the emperor#cliopher mdang#hote#nine worlds#inktober24#inktober#phew i've been pretty good so far this year about working a day ahead so that i can post at a reasonable hour and not be super stressed#this weekend was busier than i expected so tomorrow's art will also be late#but after that i will be on track again!! too clsoe to the end to give up now#inktober for me is a) a great way to be forced to produce a LOT of art and not wiff-waffle over whether it's good#b) the worst endurance race known to man#can't wait to have time to use other mediums again lol#ANYWAY just four more arts to go i can make it i can do this i can survive.....

Three people passed the “1km left” sign!!

3: Ohh, Kiji? Who's that
Oi, I already told you about this in advance, Manami!! Come on, at the sea
Is that so?
4: What's your data about him?
5: There's basically no record of him in road racing
6: He's an..... “assassin” from the MTB world, huh
7: Is he aiming for the goal?
8: Yeah.... the goal...
That's right....
We should be glad
Pag 8
1: That he's only aiming for the goal
2: Hayaaaa!!
3: Dammit!! The first result.... so you're aiming for the sprint too!?
4: Since they said you were aiming for the goal I thought you were a climber like Manami!!
Pag 9
1: Let's speed up, Orange!! He'll catch up!!
2: I've seen it before!! This guy's jersey
3: That day.... he appeared suddenly on that bike with the thick tires
Pag 10

4: mine and San-na's battle
Pag 11
1: He really is strong!!
Let's switch, I'll pull!!
Pag 12
1: Orange!!
3: They're in tune
You have amazing judgment and explosive power!!
4: When I caught up at the last curve
5: Even though they could have also accepted me and made me join them
Without making eye contact or calling out to each other, in an instant at the same time they made the decision
6: that they would “cooperate” to leave me behind!! Yon!!
You're really....
Pag 13
4: What's that
He's lowering his stance and pushing on the handles like he's about to dance....!!
5: Hayaaaa
Pag 14
1: You're really close friends!!
Pag 15
4: He lined up to us in one go!?
Pag 16
1: This guy!! Was it an optical illusion? Just now, I saw something like a cloud of dust behind me
2: Takadajou told us this
Be careful
3: I've been told that the power that a MTB rider can produce in a short time
4: is 1.5 times that of a road racing cyclist
5: This guy can match this top speed!?
8: Ah!?
9: Huh!?
Pag 17
2: In between!?
He came in between!?
Ah!?
3: You bastard, usually when one catches up he joins in the back
Pag 18

4: This guy doesn't know the theory?
5: 800m left until the sprint line!!
6: 1
Pag 19

it’s def gonna be begula or pirro cuz it ISNT gonna be cele (sorry sweet angel) and vale would rather saw off several toes than set foot on a ducati spec bike that is notoriously tricky to ride and that marc marquez has also won two races on this year. but all that being SAID. for my situations. please imagine a reality with me here today where vale shows up in sepang to ride for NO reason
#motogp#callie speaks#just stirring the pot. ahead of one of pecco’s more consequential race weekends in his life. awesome

Apparently the official ones are fey centaur. That's why they're small, they're elf/pony instead of human/horse. They're strong and perceptive survivalist fey! I refuse to believe I need to explain what a centaur is, or the appeal. These had an 84% smash rate last time, and the only thing thats changed is being 6-7 feet (1.8-2.1 m) tall depending on species. They even have enough supernatural strength that they count as if they were a full sized horse for carrying capacity and such. So riding them is still on the table, it's just easier to reach the human half.
#centaur#I keep remembering my friends singing “there's no cock like horse cock. send your asshole into shock!”#I literally hadn't heard the song until just now. I just heard them sing it enough to know it.#well a few months ago now thanks to working ahead. I had the PC races as a backup in case my queue ran dry.#I was half convinced it was an inside joke from the other half of our two friend groups merging.#I mean. It kinda was. but is also apparently an actual song not just something they came up with while fucking around in halo.#5e#dnd5e#D&D 5e#dnd#smash or pass

wheel of time written by nuclear engineer robert jordan is actually about nuclear anxiety and the consequences of the development of new technology aiding and abetting unchecked usage of weapons of mass destruction. in this essay I will -
#that’s what balefire is!#rand contemplating how war tactics will change to accomodate gateways? mat feeling unhappy about aludra’s invention of the cannons?#the seanchan hesitating when they think elayne deployed a powerful weapon to obliterate their forces? the race to get their hands on the#gateway weave? it’s all right there.#text#wheel of time#and brandon sanderson went ahead and glamourised it. bye.#<- lmao I know this tag is going to piss so many people off like stay mad! if you want to interpret his writing with more generosity than#he deserves instead of examining his pattern of writing across all his books it’s a you problem.#brandon
