something i recently learned is that hitoya’s quote comes from the clash’s joe strummer!!!! there’s a lot that’s pretty neat about that, but the thing i think is crazy neat about it is how kuukou actually shares the same birthday as joe strummer lol
#vee queued to fill the void#i also had the realisation that jyushi and otome have quotes from the same person but i’m not ready to unpack that yet lmao#i just think this is a cool as hell connection between kuukou and hitoya lol#esp since joe strummer is like the realest punk like you read his interviews and stuff and MAN. MAAAAN.#and i read that gandhi was a lawyer at one point hypmic i really do hope you know you have ruined me for other series LMAO#but the character quotes really do just fck me up a lot lol like genuinely????#gandhi being known for his nonviolent movement that freed india from the uk???#kuukou wanting to guide ppl from the spiral of violence???? it’s crazy lmao!!!!!!!#i also really like that kuukou tends to use the hindi names for buddhist gods rather than the names they have in jp#hypmic trivia is very fun lmao did you know ichiro’s quote comes from charlie chaplin#and that comic actor grew up in poverty with a deadbeat dad and did child labour#and this could be a hint at an ichiro sasara parallel lol#(charlie chaplin and sasara are VERY similar ppl lol)

What team do you think Daniel would join if he did NASCAR or Indy? Not familiar and not saying he will but just curious
I unfortunately am as unfamiliar as you about nascar and Indy. I think if Daniel is ever interested in either, he will try a one-off entry before actually committing himself to a full-time campaign, especially given how nascar has the new open exemption provisional rule that allows a world-class driver to compete in a race and in Indy as well, drivers have the flexibility to choose whether they want to do ovals or not.
I think Daniel would only consider doing Indy if he really wants to try and win the indy500 but since it’s an oval and he’s said many times before ovals scare him, so I feel it’s unlikely. When it comes to choosing a team in Indycar, I think he would have a lot of choice given from what I understand there’s no hard limits on the number of cars an Indycar team can run. It’s very possible he could choose a team like Andretti or Arrow McLaren because they have a formula one presence (and he already has a pre-existing relationship with McLaren) and that would tie in perfectly with him also being a global ambassador for the brand and maybe even hold a sort of advisor role with the team like Jenson does with Williams.
If he decides to try NASCAR, I think it would be with a team associated with Ford because I think he still has a relationship with Ford to this day. However, I think it would be more likely that he chooses Indycar over NASCAR but I also don’t discount him wanting to try it 2 or 3 years into retirement when he’s so bored out of his mind he doesn’t care if he would be good or bad at it.
#I know we’re all still hopeful that whatever is going on with Daniel right now (and not just based on that one tweet) has to do with racing#and I think he has been spending more time in Europe than in the US lately#so I feel that if there’s really something going on it has to do with some kind of opportunity connected to European racing#because why was he reportedly still in the uk till at the very least this last Saturday when he never has spent more time than necessary fo#sim duties at the factory before????#and if I have to be honest my gut feeling that he is coming back to racing is mostly based on me knowing for sure#that this man is BORED out of his mind already#anon ask

in light of the us election...I'm trying to get a job in scotland (or anywhere in the uk/ireland) and hope to stay there for a couple years at least (if you catch my drift) and if anyone has advice on getting a job in the book publishing industry, or if anyone has experience in that field over there, please let me know. I'm getting my postgraduate degree in Creative Writing and English in the spring and was looking at HarperCollins Glascow, though I would accept any book publishing company (big or small) at this point 🙏🙏🙏
#please help a queer girlie out#my schooling is online so it's super hard to make connections#college#university#scotland#uk#harpercollins#editing#book#book publishing#election#us election#fuck donald trump#us politics#online networking#internships#apprenticeships#lgbtqia#jobs#glascow#edinburgh#london

corny 2000s romcom college au. alex is a music production student who gets a couple extra credit hours by running sound and making dance tracks for the cheer squad. and so he shows up to cheer camp for the summer and hears everyone whispering about his Hot New Cheerleader called miles kane who transferred from The Other College or whatever. and alex is mesmerized when miles does like 9 flips into the splits. and he's not paying attention to where he's walking. so he bumps into the water station and sends all the cups and coolers flying. and he trips and bumps his head on something, knocking him out cold. and when he opens his eyes, miles is hovering over him, doing the whole "how many fingers am i holding up?" thing. and alex in a daze says "your fingers are very... pretty." and after that it's just a bunch of blushy awkward misunderstandings and interactions as they fall in love during cheer camp. okay great. now go write it. thanks!
#milex#fic prompt? lmao like seriously someone take it i've been thinking about it all day#been feeling nostalgic for 2000s romcoms and teen movies bc Getting Older#healing the inner child or whatever#anyway is cheer a big thing in the uk? could be gymnastics instead.#aww maybe they are both brits at a US school for some reason and make a connection about their britness :((((((#i'm just making my own heart swell

“Europe stares into the abyss.
Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.
Sometimes, the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread…
And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.
Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.
When you’re headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.“
#joe abercrombie#the devils#the UK cover art is gorge! can't wait to see it irl ❤️#i am exciteeed#a whole YEAR i have to wait an ENTIRE year 🥺#also tamsyn muir doing the quote bit on the US edition lmaoo i had a feeling there was a connection somehow

i do not get this culture of flying comparably short distances. yes it might be more convenient or whatever but you're ruining the environment and a much more fun and sustainable option is staring you right in the face
#TAKE A BLOODY TRAIN#this is a probably a very european thing but like. there's literally a tunnel under the english channel for that purpose#it chucks you out after 2 hours in paris/brussels/amsterdam and instead of clouds you actually get to see countryside#and then you can take speedy trains to other places in europe#yes it takes more time than a plane but COME ON#we're so used to getting places fast that we've forgotten that for millenia getting anywhere took ages#enjoy yourself#have fun#explore a little in between connections#i get the use of planes if you're going from say the uk to japan bc that's a long distance#but if you're flying from bristol to berlin there's high quality train connections that can get you there instead#and they get cheaper if you book them early#4 trains. 4 trains and you're there#just...please consider using them#they're worth it i know they're scary but they're really worth it#and you're saving the planet each time you use them (and sticking it to oil companies too)#anyway this was vetty's rant about planes and trains#vetty talks

You can just about see me in the Glasgow Slog! My friend always brings her Italian flag with her so this time I was easy to spot as I was right next to her! The third pic wasn't from the slog, but Ryan sent it to me a few days after the concert!💜
#honestly such a surreal (and cold and wet) day#I'm endlessly grateful to my friend who gave me her spare ticket too#I truly hope I can see them again soon🥺#this particular slog was like the end of an era for me#bc I went to a bunch of the UK shows#so I feel a lot more connected to this leg of the tour than I did the US ones#so the Slog feels like its finally over#I know I'll get to see all the US content and the Japan and Aus content#but it's not the same at all#bc I experienced this WITH them in real time#wow post concert depression is hitting hard today#and knowing I'll probably have to wait more than a year until I can do it all again...🥲#Slogs#Concerts#Def Leppard

Many of you, guys, perceive Lithuania the same way English colonizers perceived Indian women in sari. Shall I tell you this story?
#it's not like I mind ships or national clothes but i wish there were more different perspectives on actual history and actual culture#for example people who draw India or Kazakhstan#every time it's just their national clothes. which is okay but#i wish they drew India as a YT mathematician because yk#Indians are veeeery famous for explaining difficult problems easily#India is not their folk clothes only and perceiving it as such is no different from imperialistic thinking#same with Qazaqstan. you guys know they don't dress like that on daily basis right?#you guys know they're the richest Asian country right?#I've never seen people drawing e.g. Lithuania just interacting with any other country except the popular ships#where are my jokes about India being a second great grandparent to Lithuania???#Lithuanian language is considered to be the closest to Sanskrit. also Lithuania loves Krishnaits#come on man use your imagination and ability to read news and connect the dots it's not that hard and it's not forbidden#where is Lithuania interacting with England?? they have lots of business together.#where is Lithuania listening to USA complaining about UK?? it's such a wide space for jokes and funny jokes#which i don't draw because i have studies#where is Lithuania interacting with Italy? google Bona Sforza#you guys perceive Lithuania like some kind of isolated colony. and you do the same shit with Ukraine and Belarus and Latvia and-

i really do feel like its impressive of me to have not made any friends at all at university. its been two years
#everyones like 'ouhhh just put yourself out there' EVERY TIME I DO THAT I JUST FREAK PEOPLE OUT....#like whenever i make a genuine effort there is just something about me that is offputting and weird and people do not respond well to it#its weird cause ive been able to make friends with people in different circumstances. but people herejust seem so weird and cold and distan#and i cant connect with them. it was like that at my old university in the us too so its not even a us/uk thing#like i remember once i was helping my department librarys people move some books. and there were like 3 other people there . i kept making#like little jokes to try and lighten the mood cause everyone was just silent? and like. nobody seemed to get it or laugh? i could just be#not funny but ... i mean thatd be part of my problem. but it felt so weird and bad#like. im trying here can someone please god just meet me in the middle....
