#and everyone was talking about it and it was like this big drama

#i wish it weren't taboo to talk about how 814 are literally just an audhd couple... could discuss this for days. does anyone want to

actually yes i would like nothing more this is lowkey all i think about sometimes

HLSDKFHLH i was about to publish my own post but now i feel enabled to write a Longer Response 🧡 thank u guys

2 me 814 is Girl who is so classically adhd it's comical (overt hyperfixations + poor executive function + basically arfid + time blindness) coexists beautifully with Misunderstood autistic girl (too straightforward for other people + pretended to be a car as a child + sensory issues through the roof + consciously masking in every interview) while everyone loses their minds because they should Hate Each Other and be at each other's throats??! and yet they don't because their neurodivergent swag transcends petty team politics 💗

like honestly i think they interact easily because they're both weird & particular in their own ways but their priorities are ultimately the same so why would any of that matter you know? and they try to accommodate each other when they're able to even if it's little things like oscar not eating salmon around lando anymore lol 😭 (i say this as audhd guy with extreme sensory issues and many other Problems and Issues... that is in fact romanze to me. also little stuff like the No Name Drop? moment because yes it's small in the grand scheme of things but to me it's special because it's like... THEIR inside joke and oscar is proving he does enjoy it and cares about maintaining it :') and then when lando was feeling down post-race in brazil he pulled out landinho all on his own <3)

like this is so random but i was just rewatching the logan sexed bit earlier and it's so funny how oscar is just like ??? WHAT. and somewhat annoyed at being grilled about it because in his head he's thinking "it's literally just a show title why are you Willfully Misunderstanding me idg why that's so funny to you are you 5." but with lando there's so much less... idk laughing At each other as if there's some big joke one person is missing out on and more just giggling together because oscar thinks every little thing lando says is funny and because they're equally charmed by each other's particularities. like oscar doesn't mind that lando is super fidgety and respects that he has Depths (saying that lando is a mix of sarcastic/dry, excitable, and serious) while lando has joked that oscar is somewhat robotic before but obviously still revels in wheedling genuine reactions out of him :') like you can see from how they get caught up in their little world while in parc fermé or doing their f1 media duties that they're capable of just focusing on Each Other without a care in the world for other people and they aren't talking just to have content for the cameras...

and like again the whole point of f1 is that it's a media circuit that needs overextended drama to survive as a consumable product but in the end neither of them care to sustain these artificial demands because it's just antithetical to their personalities and how their brains operate... their job is literally just car 🏎

also another thing is how people talk about 814 always twinning but what adds even more dimension to it is basically oscar admitting and being conscious of his mirroring lando's expressions 😭 and the fact that he's always choosing him for interview questions/copying his answers during games! like i think it's sooo compelling that oscar unintentionally latched onto lando as a young teenager in the uk and never really strayed from that because you have a very expressive, larger-than-life lando who is prone to being misrepresented because people don't really understand the manifestation of adhd and then level-headed oscar who is also poorly read because he doesn't express himself "conventionally" taking one look at lando and being like Hmmm yes. i'll mold myself after that. and lando being so happy and open to that dynamic 🧡 does it not move u

the most stressed i've been at work in my entire life. and it's not even really that stressful but i swear one of these days the passive aggressive teams messages my boss sends me will be my downfall

I never thought I'd say this, but there's no way I'm one of the only ones here that isn't chronically online. Right? Right??

the more research I do on fandom and shipping culture the more I realize it all comes back to fucking voltron. because of course it does.

the utter lack of affection or care amongst my extended family is so bleak and miserable

[naisaa]

okay i. didnt expect you are so not invited to my bat mitzvah to actually make me cry real tears. ???? the adam sandler teen comedy movie??? was good???? and genuinely funny??? and made me so emotional?????

idk maybe im surprised bc the last time i watched an adam sandler movie was in like 2012 and i never rly liked any of them. and with this one Some of the humor and over-the-topness was a toned down version of the same type of not rly my thing... but i liked and felt for the characters and the overall tone was so. charming?

i feel like if i was a teen i'd've haaated this movie bc of how it portrays teens. like i assumed the 'ha ha look at the silly slang and behaviors of Kids These Days amiright' would start to annoy me v quickly at the start of the movie... and i do think there were a FEW moments of it being like that. but overall i was so surprised that it just felt very loving, more like lighthearted teasing. i'm sure it'll grate on actual teens anyways (and fair enough) but as an adult the more remarkable thing was rly the palpable empathy.

'look i dont understand all of this and think a lot of it is silly or even worrying and i will make fun of it a little bit, but i can see you're struggling and i care and feel for you regardless.' like. im not even a parent but that was the vibe of the whole movie and it was. genuinely rly touching. and i did not EXPECT THAT

Do you ever remind yourself an old discord drama that lead an artist to nuke their whole account

and think to yourself 'wow, it really was a nonsense and a nonissue' the hell

I want you to imagine The Bear but instead of an Italian sandwich restaurant in Chicago it's a fishcamp in nascar country. Now you know exactly how I grew up

[todayisafridaynight]

I think the part that annoys me the most about people complaining about Mine still being alive is that people are reacting as if the revived characters in 7 had major plot important roles??? Kashiwagi does a lot, but even then. You can argue back and forth over whether or not it diminishes character deaths, but don’t sit there and act as if the ones brought back are right there on Ichiban’s party and having new stories about them. It’s pretty obnoxious, honestly. The QRTs of the Tweet are either fans shouting in glee or acting like everything is over.

i personally think RGG should just pull a kingdom hearts 3 and bring back every dead bitch ever just for laughs

[monstrousproductions]

I again come to you, my all knowing dude, since last time you gave me some badass recs on fantasy books that I really ended up liking!

Do you know some good anime, TVshow or movie you would like to recommend? I just don’t like straight romcom stuff!

Ooh I'm glad you liked the books!

I'm not a great person to ask for recs for visual media to be honest, I don't watch a lot of TV or films and generally don't enjoy them as a medium. I watch a lot of TV with my eyes shut lol

That said, there are of course exceptions! But my apologies in advance if these are all old news to you xxx Again, putting this under the cut to save clogging up the dash!

I went to the cinema three times last year, and every one of the films I saw was a banger. They were Everything Everywhere All At Once, Glass Onion, and Banshees of Inish Erin. Really brilliant, highly recommend them all.

I actually love rom-coms but will resist the urge to rec those here. The exception is Big Eden, which is sweet and gay and lovely and makes me cry. It's a pure regular 2000s rom com, but gay, but like, actually gay, not just "we made the two main characters both men but didn't actually deal with the fact they're queer". I love it.

Emma is my favourite Austen, and my favourite adaptation of it is the 2009 four-parter with Romola Garai.

Black Sails starts slow but is worth every second of slowness, especially if, like me, you're more for the "rip someone's throat out with your bare teeth and howl in ungodly gay rage" kind of queer content than the "nice boys kissing" kind of content.

Speaking of men in boats, the Terror is very very good. Ooh it's very good.

And hey, while we're talking Jared Harris (as I often am), Chernobyl was also very very good! Also made me cry, unsurprisingly.

If these feel a little heavy, RTD-era Doctor Who is my go-to comfort telly! I was once in the middle of bad depressive episode and had been sitting on the sofa crying in front of Gilmore Girls for a good few hours when I realised I was too sad for Gilmore Girls, and had to stop mid-episode to watch the Agatha Christie episode of 10ant/Donna to actually calm down. Don't talk to me about Steven Moffat.

And finally, if you're at all into Star Wars then I really recommend the Clone Wars! The first season is a little janky but it's good craic and also has lots of my favourite and best boy, Darth Maul, a man who is kept alive purely by homosexual rage and, for a brief time, robot spider legs.

Sigh...its very hard to keep a positive attitude about all this

[hades-least-favourite]

for anyone wondering, he was found dead near lisbon falls this evening. self-inflicted gunshot wound.

while i'm glad that mainers can go outside and feel safe again, i also know that the families and friends of victims will not find closure and are left feeling empty and lost. death was a far too lenient punishment for such a fucking monster. i may not believe in the afterlife but i hope he's suffering now, suffering forever.

i urge people to shift the talk from robert card to the victims, their lives and honoring them. remembering them. because they shouldn't be forgotten. please.

I want everyone to be very careful with the words they use to describe my state and the situation that is occurring at the moment.

Maine is a rural state, and people are used to driving long distances to see people and even just to go to work. Cities that are about an hour from Lewiston are cancelling events and classes because an hour drive isn’t that long for a Mainer.

This also isn’t a teenager with little to no gun experience getting his hands on a weapon of war. Robert Card is trained former military, highly dangerous, and knows how to aim a gun, shoot properly, reload quickly, change weapons, and unjam a weapon.

There is a large immigrant and refugee population in Lewiston. You will see people mentioning that this could be the fault of “gangs.” It is not. Robert Card is a racist, transphobic, white man who shot at children and families during a bowling league competition. Lewiston’s immigrant and refugee population had absolutely nothing to do with this attack.

Follow news sources, not social media.

And for the love of god, it’s LEWIS-TIN. NOT LEWISTOWN.
