DAY TRIP - BATH SPA

STAY: The Gainsborough Hotel; besides being an incredibly indulgent hotel, ideally located, it has the best spa in town, using the tradition healing remedies known to the region. The Royal Crescent Hotel: the most iconic residence in Bath provides you with this incredible place to stay. No. 15 Guesthouse: this hotel is on my favourite street in bath and has a charming bar space for a quiet…

Something Doctor Who misses out on is how none of the companions are extremely interested with any one thing. All the companions are all “idk, I have a few ideas of stuff that’d be cool to see, but I’m up for whatever! All of space and time, woohoo! :)”

And that’s great for them and I know it makes for a better show overall but I think it would be more realistic for someone to say “I want to see every historically significant moment for my special interest, and then I want to double back for mundane bits too.”

I, for example, would be an insufferable companion.

I’d be like, “okay now take me to the place and time where they first used stirrups for the whole ride instead of just using them as a foothold to mount the horse. Then I want to watch Ray Hunt put a first ride on a colt. After that we’ll take a nap, and then let’s sneak onto set of the Return of the King to be extras in the Ride of the Rohirrim”

The Doctor would be all “please. This is the twentieth horse-centric stop in a row. We have all of space available to us. Can we leave Earth this time I’m begging you”

And my annoying ass would go “not unless there’s horses in space” roll credits

Merlin and Artifice's dynamic is legitimately so funny and the best. Just kind of clown-to-clown communication (enthusiastic science version) at all hours.

preamble. The Firefly’s Ascent [wc: 275] 

In which we witness the birth of a firefly.

I. In the Hands of the World

As Y/N Vettel gets offered a contract from the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team themselves, she doesn’t hesitate to sign it. Yet it’s only her first race and she's already cost the team multi-million mistakes. 

II. The Flight of the Bumblebee

A global epidemic hits and the current grid is obligated to stay in their homes. People expect the young woman’s skill to decline, but they’re in for a surprise at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix.

III. Their World in Her Hands

Rumors of Sebastian Vettel's retirement spread like a wildfire. Y/N Vettel confronts her brother, only to be faced with the harsh truth.

IV. Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like me to Have

Y/N Vettel struggles to keep up after losing the one thing she was racing for. 

V. Girl Crush!

A spontaneous meet-up with her grid friends leads to a fated crossing between two athletes.

VI. Let me into Your World

As the ball game concludes, the grid gets a chance to meet the members of Re Al.  

VII. Come into my World

With a certain midfielder refueling her love for her sport, she's ready to announce her return. 

VIII. Monza, Please Love me Back

While the world tries to swallow her, she rises to the top.

IX. Chequered Goal

Rumours grow between two fabled athletes. Yet, they only seem to care about their results—and secretly, each other.

X. More than Friends, Less than Lovers

In which the world finds out about Y/N Vettel’s motivation, starting a heated discussion amongst their fans. Meanwhile, the pair in question wonders what they are.

bonus. The Time I Win the World Once More

After six years of twists and turns, Y/N Vettel is determined to win the world once more in her last season.

"Administratively, too, [...] queens were considered the legal lords of their landholdings. [...] Grants noted that the queen's officials had administrative autonomy without being subject to the king or anyone else, and evidence of the same assumption can be gleaned from court rolls that were recorded with headings indicating the lord of the manor whose court proceedings were being enrolled. As an example, some court rolls for the manor of Haveringatte-Bower specified that it was the court of [Margaret of Anjou] that was in session, while later rolls recorded Elizabeth Woodville as the lord of the manor court."

SUMMER ROAD TRIP- RYE

[sarcastic-clapping]

maybe i am the remote worker that executives and corporate real estate investors fear monger about. i saw a comment on the remote work subreddit that said something like “they think we all just roll out of bed at 10am, pretend to be online while we’re really at the gym, log off at 4, and stay in our sweats all day”

smash cut to me reading said comment while on the treadmill at the gym during work hours

all bits of foreshadowing / musical moments ive seen in wicked part 1 + my thoughts on it

very late to the party i finally got to rewatch wicked and soak up everything and analyze so here goes! spoilers obviously ive seen the musical live and a bunch of times online people have already probably pointed these things out but i just wanted to share my findings too :))

all the instances of for good: "is it true you were her friend" ozdust and interestingly enough when glinda puts a flower in elphaba's hair in popular! i say interestingly enough because in the original musical they play "im not that girl"

fiyero scarecrow references in dancing through life: aside from "life is painless for the brainless" fiyero stands in a scarecrow pose after glinda encourages boq to ask nessa out

hat on the floor during the ozdust scene similar to how elphaba's hat is on the ground after she "melts"

the wizard telling elphaba "its like i already know you"

thank goodness: it plays when glinda makes her announcement that shes changing her name! i only caught it today

somewhere over the rainbow: blue birds in the "wizard and i" flying towards the rainbow (if happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow) and somewhere over the rainbow plays while elphaba is walking to her dorm

no one mourns the wicked: not foreshadowing BUT i did like how "goodness knows the wicked's lives are lonely" played when elphaba was boarding the train alone and stopped when she asked glinda to come with her

overall a very solid musical adaptation! i love it when musical movies actually cast people who are involved in musical theater because it genuinely shows that they know what they're doing and have the talent and skill to pull it off

my only critique / problem with it was how it cut up some songs? defying gravity is the best example for it. the dialogue in between verses felt way too long the musical momentum lost all build up but that might have just been me

also people are haters and dont give one short day enough love :(( youll never get ensemble numbers the way i do

[sapphicherri]

planned a very fun trip to somewhere new for a mini summer vaca + packed all my prettiest little skirts n tops i hope i get a gf happy pride<3
