#also quite yaoiful

[allphatauri]

ok so im new to f1 in general but i really wanna get into super formula too (as a tiny little yuki enthusiast) and i have no clue how, esp from the outside of jp... so uhhh if you can help? 🙏 (love ur blog so much btw 🫶)

HI ANON. SHAKES YOU GENTLY. in my heart i am wearing a t shirt that says 'ask me about super formula' all the time so YES YES absolutely!! shaking with joy !! and thank you so much for your kind words!! sending u much love !! info under the cut

first of all I've made a primer (google slides) and it's posted here! it is, though, QUITE poorly made and researched instead of properly put together through experience. We are in the off season right now, and super formula silly season happens entirely during the off season, so a bunch of the honda engine teams' are unconfirmed. When that does get confirmed, I'll fix up and post an updated version! until then i'll try to post some off season info over at my sf/sgt sideblog @tadasukemakino !! i'm still working on being more consistent over there but my hopes going into the new year is that i'll get better w queueing and such so i actually do post over there LOL second of all here's the 2025 calendar:

okay! and third of all i'm sure you want to know where you can catch the races. :) you can catch them with a motorsport.tv subscription over in the states but i'm not sure about elsewhere . BUT.. i may or may not mainly watch them streamed at the discord server ever cough cough cough (tumblr post with link) cough cough couhgh (if the one in that post doesn't work come dm me we nuked a few links sorry LOL cough cough cough)

I try to translate a lot of the radios and post-race interviews that occur on the spot as well. english commentary though and usually one of the commentators does translate but i do it anyways / sometimes he's absent LOL

genuinely i'm so so happy you've expressed interest!! it means the world to me. i've found that super formula is far more than the 'feeder series with cars really similar to f1' than a lot of english media simmers it down to be. it's got insane races (funny incidents, real wheel to wheel driving with artful overtakes and stressful battles), a genuine Shakespearean level rivalry between the Toyota and Honda teams, some REAL hard-hitting narratives, actual title fights, lovely drivers (genuinely my first motorsport series where i can't find a reason to dislike any driver??), a really special atmosphere where all the drivers and teams genuinely respect each other.. etc etc. and also very yaoiful drivers if that's also a selling point for you LMAO

please please PLEASE ask me anything if there's anything else i can help with super formula related, anon or anyone else!! thank you again so much for asking!!!

2024 writing retrospective (shamelessly copying dex, sorry. ur an icon)

i posted something every month of this year ! which is not something i set out to do but once i realized i was halfway through i had to see it through (<- guy whose biggest motivator is committing to the bit)

one takeaway from this was the value of just sitting on a fic for a few weeks… i always want to post as soon as a thing’s done, while i’m still riding the high of completing a project, but giving myself time and distance to edit is good, actually. whoda thot

also confirmed the value of setting arbitrary deadlines - birthday fics were also great for this lol - these days i've set sunday as a soft, rolling deadline (if it's not ready by this sunday i'll wait a week (so i'd better finish it))

bit of a grab bag year in terms of fandoms and pairings, and that was really fun for me !! there are some i’d like to return to if i can think of a new angle (yaoqing trio) others i might leave behind (i think covid erased argenthill from my brain)

also a year where i challenged myself a little and - probably because i posted so regularly - feel i’ve improved a bit

singularity was tough to string together but through the sort of episodic format i got better at writing little chunks. linger a little longer was like puuure character study, very scary. i feel like i have a middling understanding of action but gunfights - instead of swordfights or hand-to-hand - were a challenge in hard feelings

all the king’s horses was a sort of surreal experience. the basic idea and structure came together quite suddenly but it was difficult to write in the limited time i gave myself. also funnily a return to form for me (used to only write angst lol) while at the same time felt very different from my usual

more and more i enjoy writing longer, sillier fics, which are much harder to write than pwp and simply do not do numbers in the same way lol. this is fine - i write for myself first, & i've been writing porn longer so ofc it's easier and probably better - but it has meant that i appreciate comments more and more all the time :~)

coincidentally began and ended the year reading books about writing:

Consider This is very much a how-to guide with practical advice that was interesting and thoughtful. got me thinking about form/organization

Track Changes is a history of word processors that made me think about how my own creative process is irrevocably tied up in specific technology. really cool read

wips i’m carrying into the new year: kaeluc royalty au (still), olympic year (yes, still), welt/caelus/dan heng + whipped cream (...)

ideas i’m starting the year off with: ryudate 5+1, singularity sequel, kaeluc outsider pov, chiscara!!!

i’m very excited to finally take part in a ship week (nsfw akishinji week) which is something i’ve wanted to do for literally years. yippee!!

as always, a goal for this year is to write more comments on fic + art, it's just a muscle i'm always working on

i’d still like to write more for/with others - requests are fun but i get very few... is it weird to request requests ?

my other goal for the year is really to uhh write less. sad. gotta make the diss work a priority

these liner notes are excruciating to write but i think after 2 years i'll stick w them a little longer. they're good practice in organizing and expressing my thoughts

i hope it's a yaoiful year for all !!! see u in march <3

[emihead]

listen i'm not saying skibidi toilet is peak fiction or anything but don't knock it til you try it. i honestly quite enjoyed it at the big age of 21. it's dumb fun and the way the story progressed genuinely captivated me in a weird way. also some of the designs are very yaoiful

[arvoze]

do the beast dungeon protags have names? I noticed you only tag them by their species (I want to know more about them smiles)

unfortunately I took this and ran with it as a summary instead of "yeah this is their names"

yes! well, half and half. sudowoodo is quite literally just called sudowoodo, but the nuzleaf is called locke! every now and then, some of my pokemon just don't receive names, because nothing seems to fit in my head (and I like to think that some pokemon just don't feel obligated to go by any particular name). locke is named after, well, i'm sure you can figure that out (nuzlockes LOL)

their team is called "two guys", cuz they're two guys. despite this, they'll eventually recruit fries (zigzagoon, she/her), unnamed veluza (might just be called veluza, undetermined pronouns) & unnamed geodude (she/her). they rarely work as a full team (locke fucking hates everybody), they're more of just A Group (the "team" is still sudolocke, others just tag along or split off). they all live in the same kind of vicinity and all have a similar life goal/interest: some kind of life involving pursuing... flower maintenance. of some kind.

the above is primarily sudowoodo's dream. he wants to find a legendary seed and grow a legendary tree/flower, and deal with everything else along the way; he doesn't go into dungeons to rescue people (that's a plus), he's solely focused on his own personal task. locke has absolutely no goals and aspirations, originally sticking around sudowoodo after hearing about his goals because he thought it was *so* stupid, that he just had to be there to watch sudowoodo fail (in actuality, he had absolutely nothing going on in his life. it's true he followed sudowoodo just to mock him and piss him off, but locke ended up becoming genuinely attached, fully taking on sudowoodo's dream as his own. though he would never admit to any of this to anyone other than sudowoodo lol)

the pair are yaoiful in a situationship kind of way. like they're in love but they're uncertain about it and neither of them would necessarily call eachother boyfriends/say "i love you" all that often if at all/so on so forth. everyone around them just assumes they've got something weird going on. genuinely have no idea how to describe how these two feel about eachother LMAO

(fries just thinks a place full of flowers is Cool, veluza would like a chill place to finally relax that will also be considerate of fish mons, geodude herself has plants and moss growing on her head so seeing other mons dedicate their time towards nurturing a space like this has her wanting to get involved as much as possible; this curated space is like a home to all five of them. the intent is for it to be a pretty decently-sized place they'll all come to manage, kind of eventually becoming like a flower garden/nature reserve/all that)

unfortunately things turn a bit south when sudowoodo & locke end up in silverwood tangle (forest), a wrong place wrong time situation. this becomes the introduction of beast dungeons themselves (mystery dungeons helmed by ultra beasts). this is where the meat of everything begins which i won't get into here because i've already rambled overtime but SHDHDGSGF i know people are typically around for VV and not DC:BD (bluesky feed numbers are a big tell of this), but they're my silly guys and i like em :-]

Could you elaborate pls? <33

ngl i forgot i made that post fjsdjskh but of course, my dear imp <3 !!

so, in the first bonus comic, while they’re trying to figure out who the princely person yona mentioned is (btw the fact that it’s kouren…bisexuality wins yet again <3), jaeha’s reaction is Quite Interesting considering one of the very first things he notices about gija in canon is how pretty he is. i don’t buy for a second that he wouldn’t have thought of gija during this conversation unless there was something else ruling him out (such as the two of them already being a thing. or at the very least gija’s profoundly gay vibes)

[ID: panels from the first “yona of the dawn” modern au comic. yun says, “yona’s always talking about how pretty kija is.” and jaeha looks shocked as he asks, “could it be kija?!”; hak says, “hold on now. think about it. his face aside, she’s saying his personality is like something out of shoujo manga.”; gija comes in, carrying a package, and asks, “did i hear my name?”; hak says, “we’re talking about how you seem like you could be a hero from a shounen manga. gija says, “i see. jae-ha, please sign here for your package.” while holding the package out to jaeha. there are sparkles and flowers drawn around him. end ID.]

then in the second comic there’s this remark about how busy work at gija’s job gets around the holidays which especially in context reads to me like he and yona are bonding over their beloveds being tormented by the horrors of holiday shopping season (even more so if we take into account how many hakyona/gijaeha parallels there are in canon)

[ID: panel from the second “yona of the dawn” modern au comic. yona says, “besides, hak’s doing a part time delivery job over the winter break.”; jaeha asks, “where kija is working?”; yona responds, “yeah. i think kija invited him.”; jaeha says, “ahh…well, it is busy there this time of year…”. end ID.]

also like jaeha decides to throw a party for yona’s benefit and keeps rooting for her and hak to get together throughout both comics And Yet he mentions gija first here……how curious :3c

[ID: a panel from the same comic as the previous image. jaeha is typing on his phone and thinking, “kija and hak…probably can’t make it, huh…”. end ID.]

also their banter about gija being a total lightweight is just very cute and silly and couple-coded <3

[ID: panels from the same comic as the previous image. in the first, gija says, “i can drink!”; an arrow reading “20 years old” is pointing at his speech bubble; jaeha responds, “but you shouldn’t.”. in the second, gija tells hak, “yes! and when you do, i shall accompany you [drinking].” and jaeha says, “like i said, you shouldn’t.”; gija holds up a finger and says, “jae-ha, pour me a glass!” and jaeha says, “we are closed for today.”. end ID.]

now, could one interpret these moments in a less yaoiful manner? sure, i guess…but where’s the fun in that

[vampuppyy]

🤪👯🪐💌 for whoever ur fixated on rn! :3

🤪: What is a trait that fanon would exaggerate? // I say this lovingly because I do this myself; Anthelme is exceedingly French (or the Witcher's equivalent of it) and that's the trait people would magnify most. Nevermind his analytical prowess and his phenomenal mental manipulation skills. Noooope. He's French.

👯: What canon character is he most similar to? // Hard question. The answer I default to is Es/kel, like at-one-point father like son, but thinking on it more there's not much there, and he's nothing like his brother really...Perhaps Dandelion. He's also keeping up a front, not quite in the same way but similarly, and is very open with some things to hide other things. Also, similarly fruity.

🪐: What would be the most popular AU and why? // Definitely Baron AU. Everyone loves royalty x knight. The long and the short of the au is Anthelme stayed in Toussaint when he ran from the school (which is something that happens in canon, just in canon he Goes Back), and due to being older than his brother, despite being adopted, He becomes the baron of Launfal instead of Palmerin.

last one got long so i'm putting it under a cut-

💌: How would their dynamic be portrayed? What might people focus on most? Any misconceptions? // I'm gonna focus on the misconceptions here because there's one really obvious one. Lam/bert is an alcoholic. Anthelme is also a bit alcoholic, but on the 'enjoys too much when he does drink to get drunk' side instead of 'drinks to get drunk Constantly' side. His having a glass of wine every morning would be interpreted as 'he gets drunk every morning', and the ship would probably be labelled problematic because 'they feed into each other's alcoholism problems'. Which is objectively untrue. It'd also get labelled problematic both due to the Wolf boys constantly referring to and seeing each other as brothers (despite Anthelme clearly being isolated from that whole thing, but still being close, when you meet him in game G/eralt wouldn't refer to him as 'brother' and neither would anyone else in the school), and because At One Point Way In The Past, Anthelme saw Es/kel as his father, for obvious reasons (Anthelme being like seven or eight at the time latching onto the person he'd been given to because he's honestly quite used to changing out fathers, backstory thing, but as he grew older it definitely changed into a 'you are a good friend' type relationship, and him seeing Es/kel as a father was pretty fucked anyways because, again, Anthelme was given as a reward for work, he wasn't adopted nor did Es/kel find him and decide to take him on, it was a panic inducing payment that ended in Anthelme being taken to the school because what the fuck else is this 20-something supposed to do with a fucking child), so it'd be like. "oh shipping them is like shipping an uncle and his nephew and also shipping brothers because-" and it's giving me a headache thinking about it. It'd be portrayed in a yaoiful fashion because they do canonically try to eat each other if they're drunk enough and it's also a very 'nobody knows you like I do' type relationship. People would either focus on the cannibalism or the drinking.

why are all of my classmates so fucking gay so yuriful and yaoiful the most straight thing ever happening there is the group of intelligent girls group who all have a crush on the same guy always and at this point they might just be polygamous because how do you do that ALLL THE TIME truly this class might aswell be the gayest of all, I mean they admitted it

also every boy at school suddenly had a crush on me when I came out as a demiboy why are they all gay i mean I’m not complaining it‘s quite funny
