2016 UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships / Artistic Cycling - Day 1

I’m losing my mind. This is so impressive

[eyesofanapothecarian]

Okay first of all not only is everything they say about the wanting Hinata instead of Sakura on Team 7 things correct, but it would also completely alter the storyline.

Sasuke and Naruto are rivals and they push each other way to far.

Sakura is there to mellow them out.

You really think Hinata would be able to chill them at all?

No.

Secondly, having someone with byakugan on the team from the start would have ruined every surprise moment team 7 reveal.

Sensory nin would have seen threw everything before Sasuke in the Forest of Death In the Chinnin exams.

We never would have learned their strengths or weaknesses at because this start what we learn how skilled ninja even genin must be how manipulative other ninja are.

The password and Sasuke immediately setting it as a trap for someone who isn't Naruto.

Moment one they're beginning watched.

Meanwhile Naruto is being eaten by a literal snake.

Hinata Byukugan would have easily seen this and we would know next to nothing about how well trained you have to be to survive a leveling in your own hidden village as a ninja.

Third Hinata habit of fainting over Naruto would have definitely backwheeled them.

Seriously she can't be that close to him all the time it won't work here's why.

Sakura faints during the exam with Kakashi but Hinata is shy-shy, she faints very easily and it's not her fault really you think as a Pro-Sakura medically this is due to her being unable to handle her blood pressure going up so high.

She very level and cool except around him.

And it's not a weakness.

It's a sensitively that REAL PEOPLE have to being in situations.

High blood pressure for someone who stays at low blood pressure medically does not work.

Also Sakura begging Naruto to bring Sasuke back would have Been as heartrenching cause they wouldn't be bonded.

SasuSaku would not have happened considering all they went threw together as genin.

Seriously people if you want me to truly tell you all the facts that would completely f*** up this story by changing Sakura and Hinata on Team 7 I have about 70 different one in mind just ask.

here's my tiny skateboard :)

[ID: Three pictures of a small skateboard. In the first one it's next to a shoe, the shoe is about as long as the space between the front- and backwheels. The second picture is a closeup of a wheel, it has different cartoony characters on it and says "coffee-break-games.com". The last picture is of the bottom of the skateboard, it has a mining cartoon character on it and says "Rick Rock" and the same website as on the wheel. End ID]

The 'wheels' have rolls at the cotners to lead the track which is under enough tension to be straightened out

The front wheel is unpowered and the backwheel is powered, by turning one of those corner rolls through the pedals. Which is done with the help of a regular bike chain

The main issue I see is the noise, which could maybe be damped through the use of rubber tracks, which would simultaniously lower the amount of moving parts.

The other problem is, that the design makes it very hard to drive on uneven surfaces

⸸ Car wreck as junk pile by Bloomsbase ⸸

[…]

A GTA car i once converted for the sims 2 now as car wreck in sims 3 The mesh Fixed alot of things, remapped some stuff etc etc Its a low polygon mesh with high polygon rims. Has one high and one low detail.(same meshes are used to create the shadows) Has one Geostate(or none geostate....), see screenshots Textures Comes in 3 designes -rust model with dirt on the details -Same as above but with a burned overlay(stencil) -Shiny version with the original textures(once done by me) included are 2 patterns, the castiron from EP2 and a kinda cracked glass pattern i made. You can recolor: The windows The body The chrome The interior How does it work I cloned a junk pile and changed mesh, textures, materials, slots and disabled the sparkling Works the same as a junk pile, atleast 6 slots are available to collect junk When all the junk is collected the car will change into the geostate. Geostate is without: Left door and glass window license plates front bumper front seat 2 backwheels How do i find it ingame Not all category's worked so its a bit hard to find:

Name: Car wreck Buy category/by function/decoration/show all/then click cc only and it will pop right up. Its available for both community and living but when placing it on a lot sims will ripp it apart quickly cost: 175 Issues(not really) I wanted a hole in the windows and the option to recolor them wich i only managed by choosing the phong alpha material, works great. Then i also tried to crack the whole window by making a pattern for it but patterns cause alot bleeding through. Just pick a solid color to avoid the bleeding if you dont like the fully cracked window, the hole will still be there. The scrap/junkpiles comes randomly with or without junk in them, same with the car. Sometimes you only get the geostate(no door/window etc), just repick to fix. There are no shadows for the non geostate parts(left door and window/front seat etc) I didn't want those shadows when the car was ripped, so i left them out. Polygon Counts: high detail = 10397(none geostate is lower) low detail = 6948(none geostate is lower)

To people driving motobikes : don't go up on your backwheel when there's a bus behind you, I can see you end up as road rash and I do not like it.

[sainthomura]

If you’re still doing headcanon requests, could I get some YachiTsuru or KyoMado ones 👉👈

I’m so glad you asked

For YachiTsuru:

Tsuruno had a crush on Yachiyo for... as long as she could remember, but since she was always so close to Mifuyu she put herself on the backwheel

Once Iroha shows up in Kamihama and Yachiyo forms a team again, Tsuruno’s crush returns but so. So much worse.

Yachiyo is actually the one to confess to Tsuruno after the rumour incident, realizing how much she really loved her. They decide not to act on it until the magius are taken care of though

Their first date is at an amusement park and Tsuruno makes her go on every single ride and you better bet she won her the most stupidly big plush pig she could find

Afterward, Yachiyo wants to take her somewhere different then banbazai as a treat (after much protest) and they just vibe cause they love each other (and the huge pig plush sits on a chair with them in the fancy ass restaurant)

Did someone say fire and water? Too late I did

KyoMado:

Going from the timeline in Homura Tomura when her and Madoka are the only ones left, Kyoko spends a lot more time in Mitakihara to train Madoka

Eventually Madoka’s parents find out Kyoko is living on her own, and decide to take her in (surprise this is a there’s only one bed trope)

Kyoko has a hard time opening up to people, but with a social girl like Madoka as a girlfriend she (rather begrudgingly) opens up

Did someone say protective Kyoko? I did she’s so protective of her soft gf, especially after what happened to Sayaka, she takes extra precaution making sure her soul gem is clean

Since Kyoko loves to eat, Madoka tries to learn to cook so she can make her food. She fails quite a few times until her and Kyoko learn to cook together for Madoka’s family

The chain hopped off the backwheel of my bike yesterday and I just couldn’t get it back on. 30 minutes of facetiming my dad today and I did it!!

I honestly feel like a boss

[gay-formers]

yknow i was thinking about the tfp subway episode, Knockout lost one of his backwheels when he drove off at the end and from what i gather thats a major part of the structural supports in his legs and theres a big difference between a popped tire and a missing wheel

how was he walking??? a popped tire would make him limp probably yeah but the man lost a whole wheel id assume his leg would kinda not work at all when one is missing

Romance

Pairing:  FemShep/Kaidan Alenko, ME-3

Words count:  2000

Summary: Teased by the crew for being unromantic, Shepard whisks Kaidan off to the hot springs discovered on her last ground mission.

________________________________

Metal rattled around them as they entered the planet’s atmosphere.  Kaidan’s armor scraped against the steel wall of the shuttle.  Overhead, Shepard swayed on feet holding tight to the ceiling handle.  

This wasn’t what he’d expected.  When Shepard summoned him to the cargo bay, he had still been thinking about her suggestive comment from earlier.  Something about proving she was romantic no matter what anyone said.  When he saw her waiting for him by the shuttle, his heart had lifted.  It was just them.  Them and Cortez.  Then he realized something else.  She was in full armor.

“Get suited up, Alenko.  Stop lollygagging.”  She’d clapped her hands at him but with a wink.

That had confused him even more.  He was confused now.  He checked the heat clip on his Talon then reviewed the cryo weapon updates on his ‘Tool.  They were all properly installed.  He was ready.  Ready for what, he had no idea.  She hadn’t briefed him.

“Hey.”  Shepard shook his shoulder.  “Don’t worry.  Wait to see where I’m taking you.  It has a good view.”

“Good view?”  Kaidan repeated and got to his feet.  “This isn’t a ground mission, is it?”

“Not in the typical sense.”  She bit her bottom lip and grinned.  

Kaidan’s blood pressure spiked.  This did have something to do with her earlier comment then.

“Why the armor then?”

“Better to be armed and ready just in case, right?  Especially if your shuttle’s not at hand.”

Kaidan glanced at the back of Cortez’s head.  “Hmm.” 

He smiled so wide his cheeks hurt.  It probably revealed more than he really wanted to show, but the self-satisfied gleam in Shepard’s eye made it worth his transparency.

“Coming up on the drop off point, Commander,” Cortez said.

The shuttle set down.  Kaidan's insides buzzed with anticipation.  It felt like Christmas morning when he was a kid.  Shepard opened the door, and a blast of hot, humid air hit him in the face.  The snow was melted around a clearing covered in fog.  The mist was coming from the ground, from -- Kaidan’s heart stopped -- a hot spring.

“Your eyes are glowing without using biotics,” Shepard said.

She dragged him out of the shuttle by the hand.  Once his knees unlocked and blood started again, he was quick to overtake her.

“Have fun.”  Cortez strained to see them from the front seat.  “Call me when you need me, Commander.”

The shuttle ruffled their hair as it lifted overhead, but Kaidan couldn’t take his eyes off of her.  

Shepard played with the latch on his shoulder.  "You can't go for a dip in all that armor, Major.  You'll sink to the bottom."

“You’re sure that pool’s safe?”  Kaidan nodded at the pool half concealed in mist.  With the pine canopy crystalized in frost and pink from the sunset glistening in the placid water, it felt like being in a vid.  Only better, because it was real and Shepard was part of it.

“Am I sure it’s safe?”  Shepard echoed.  "I was planning to push you in first.  See how it goes.”

“Are we voting on this plan?”

“Nope.”

“Guess I'll just say ‘aye, aye’ then.”  Kaidan unclipped his gauntlets. 

Shepard made quick work tearing off her own metal plating.  Left with only under armor, they tiptoed to the misty water.  The hot spring covered more area than Shepard’s entire cabin, and Shepard's cabin was huge.  The water's faint blue hue mixed with twilight looked like runoff from a water coloring.

“This is amazing,” Kaidan said.

Shepard squirmed out of her undersuit, one arm at a time, and swung it onto the rocks behind them.  Kaidan gave her an admiring appraisal.

“You’re right.  Can’t beat the view,” Kaidan said.

“After you.”  Shepard waggled her eyebrows.

Kaidan pulled off his underarmor and tiptoed to the edge of the water.  Shepard bunched in behind him.  The pool looked deep but not enough that either of them couldn’t be standing. 

Kaidan lowered his foot slowly toward the water.  In the corner of his vision, Shepard raised onto the ball of feet to see.  His toe dipped in.  He screamed.  Shepard slammed him sideways with a strangled cry.  She clawed at him trying to see into his face. Their eyes met.  She froze. 

“Did you -- Ah!  Kaidan!”  She shoved him back a step.

“Sorry.”  Kaidan laughed.  “I didn’t actually expect that level of response.”

“You're lucky I didn’t send you spinning with my biotics.  Dammit, Kaidan.”  She wacked his arm with the back of her hand for good measure.  “What kind of reaction were you expecting?  I just boiled your foot off in a primordial alien hot spring?”

“Uh.”  Kaidan scratched the back of his neck.  “I didn’t really think it through.  Maybe it’s the vapors.”

“This pool is perfectly safe.”  Shepard reassured, seemingly including herself.  She pulled him back to the pool.  “Liara assured me it's safe.”

“Dr. T’Soni’s certified Hot Spring Seal of Safety?  All in.”  Kaidan took a wide step to the side and dropped into the pool.

“Wait!”  Shepard drew a sharp breath.

The water stung his skin.  It was almost painful, but only from the heat.  It lapped at his shoulders.  The splash left water beading his vision.  He blinked it away as his body adjusted to the temperature.

“What’s the matter?”  Kaidan brushed wet hair back from his face.  “Still a part of you worried it wasn’t safe?”

“No, I just … You put doubt in my head.  I wanted to get in first.”

“Gotta make up your mind quicker.  Come on in.”

Shepard backed up with a grin and took a running leap.  The splash nearly drowned him.  Heat washed over him in a wave.  He spit water out of his mouth and grubbed his eyes.  When she came up, she gasped.

“Holy damn!”  Her breathing was labored.  “It’s so hot.  My blood’s combusting.”

“Mixing two hot things can be explosive.”

Shepard pushed through the water to him.  “Yes, let’s mix two hot things.”

Kaidan pulled her arms around his neck.  Shepard touched their noses together and laughed.

“This more romantic than the apartment hot tub?”

“If I’m with you, the rest doesn’t matter.  This is nice though.”

“You deserve it.”  Shepard worked her hands into his soppy hair.  “Liara and Garrus made me feel guilty for not sprinkling rose pedals and playing Beethoven in the background.  Told them I lit a lemon candle in the cabin once in a while.  Liara said it was a poor effort.”

“Why’re you even talking to them about it?”

“I was giving Garrus a hard time.  Got the barrel swung around on me.”  She gazed around them in the steam.  “So, is this more romantic than a lemon candle?”

Kaidan laughed.  “How can you hold a candle to this?”

“Clever.”  Shepard chuckled and twisted his hair around in her fingers.  “What do you think?  I just tell Cortez to give our regards.  We live in this hot spring forever."

"Forever?  I think Liara oversold you on the healing power of this pool."

 "You know exactly what I mean.  We'll live here permanently like amoebas.”

"I wouldn't mind devolving into a pair of amoebas.  It's beautiful here.  I wish we had more moments like this.  Us, alone, someplace calm and far away.”

Her arms tightened around his neck, and she rested her cheek against the side of his face.  Warm breath tickled his ear prickling all the way to his toes.

“Know what I thought when I first saw you?” Shepard whispered.

“What's that guy's name again?  Jenkins or something?”

“No.  Believe me, I remembered your name.  Staff Lieutenant Alenko.”  She pulled back to look into his face.  “The first time I saw you, I thought: This is the most gorgeous human being I’ve ever seen.  Marines shouldn't look like that.  The first time we talked, I'll admit, I was secretly hoping for a playboy vibe.  You’d cut me off mid sentence to check your teeth and hair in a compact mirror.  Or perhaps you’d have a macho marine attitude, the kind that would slap my butt if I was serving cocktails instead of the Alliance.  Life would be so much easier if you were just a pretty face.”

“Forgot my compact mirror that day.  To know, I was that close to not being a disappointment.”

“You were a big disappointment.  Turned out, you were kind, humble, intelligent, surprisingly reflective.  Now, you had commendations and Anderson had chosen you, so I knew you’d to be capable in the field.  A part of me still held out for a lewd, quip under your breath when I made a decision you didn’t like.  But you were all focus.  Steely, unshakable competence.  You were straightforward, but respectful, and not afraid to speak up.  No stuttering or backwheeling when it turned out your opinion differed from mine.  I liked you immediately.  I thought, dammit, this is going to be the longest tour of my life.  Why me?”

Kaidan's cheeks ached from smiling so wide.  It was broad enough, it grew Shepard's smile.  She pressed a sudden wet kiss to his mouth.

“Do you know what I thought when I first saw you?” he asked.

“Wow, she looks like a hard ass.”

“Well, that too, I guess.  I thought you were beautiful, of course, but what struck me was your … presence, I guess, for a better word.  You were so confident, not the power-instilled kind.  You weren’t arrogant, just self-assured.  It was like you knew you could out-maneuver any obstacle.  You were tactical, quick on your feet, unstoppable.  Even being a biotic, you didn’t act like it was anything to be judged by.  And as a leader, you were encouraging, open to ideas, charismatic.  You inspired and galvanized the whole team into one piece.”

“Ah.” Shepard pursed her lips.  "So you were mesmerized by the great leader, Commander Shepard.  The posters and vids did me justice?”

“It was more than that.”  Kaidan smoothed a hand down the back of her head.  “I mean, that was my first impression, but it only grew.  All of that made you a good CO, but you were more.  To me.  My other COs talked to me, of course.  They always wanted to know about the L2, gauge what I brought against the liability, I guess.  We’d discuss staffing, missions, swap stories from past postings.  Sometimes something surfacey, like hometowns, family members, that sort of thing.  I never had anyone, especially a CO, ask anything deeper.  Not without an agenda anyway.  

“I knew about Mindoir, Akuze.  The whole galaxy did.  In a way, I felt guilty knowing so many personal things about you without you telling me.  And when I thought of what you went through, losing your family at sixteen ...”

Shepard’s eyes had dulled.  Kaidan felt a twinge of regret.  Perhaps he shouldn’t have said anything about her family.

“Go on.”  Shepard cleared her throat.  “You can mention it.  It’s fine.  Facts.  The whole galaxy knows, like you said.”

“Yeah, but …”  He caressed her cheekbone with his thumb.

“Just go on.  Unless that’s where you’re ending.  You pitied me.”

“I didn’t pity you.  At least, not in the negative way you frame it.”

She gave him a sharp frown.  He continued before she could speak.

“Look.  I knew a lot about you, and when you asked questions about me, my past didn’t seem so heavy.  You cared and listened.  Each bit more I gave, you made me feel better about.  When I got to the heart of it, Rahana and how it left me, it was the first time I told it that way.  It wasn’t just the facts.  It was the truth of everything.”

Her eyes had softened.  “I knew you were trusting me.  I felt closer to you, understood better. You probably know, but I didn’t have a lot of deep friendships like that.  You let yourself be honest and vulnerable with me.  I cared for you already, but sharing that with me, I knew it was real.”

He pulled her tight to his chest and kissed her.  Steam swirled in the air around them.  It was indescribable feeling the satin of her skin while the twilight colors of an alien world gleamed in the water.  This could be the moment he’d spend the rest of his life wishing he could relive.  

“I love you,” he whispered against her ear.  “No matter what happens, I’m grateful you’re in my life.  The day I met you is the most important day of my life.”

Shepard was quiet for a long time.  When she spoke her voice was soft.  “Life has never felt right without you, even before I realized there was something missing.”

Kaidan pressed his lips to her temple.  “See.  You’re romantic.”

“Remember to tell Garrus.”

like, i am ashamed to admit it but in my impetuous and socially oblivious youth, where I knew nothing of subtext or reading between the lines or the author’s weird cult, I actually LIKED harry potter and the methods of rationality

i though it was a fun ‘power of science’ kinda story, and that’s all i thoguht of it

but then i read creepy stuff about the things his group gets up to, his own beliefs, the really nasty stuff a lot of rationalists seem prone to

their weird culture of smug superiority

and its impossible to avoid seeing it in the story; how he has Harry actually claim that only cultures that went through the Enlightenment have an idea of human rights (so, essentially, only western europe and no one else), a recurring motif of a savior complex with a paternalistic vibe...

and then the author’s other rewrites of other stories with the same cold and dispassionate outlook that has some very unpleasant outcomes, to the point that you honestly can believe he legit thinks Lex Luthor is a Real Hero

and then i noticed how almost every other rationalist fic out there had the same attitude of making the heroes into cold and heartless caricatures of themselves, with no sense of empathy or compassion except in the most abstract sense, and it was like

‘FUCK WHAT HAVE I BEEN ENDORSING’

and i completely backwheeled and i legit hate that series with all my heart and soul

but then, what can you expect from a story where the author has the hero go out of his way to befriend a rich bigot who wants to commit sexual assault, completely writes Hagrid out of the entire story except to make a quick joke once or twice, and completely villifies Ron?

like, virtually every character change is a massive red flag.

i love your tgf meta and ive been thinking about this forever- so we all know the infamous scene where boris kisses theo before he leaves vegas and theo remarks later on in the cab that “i love you” was something they “both knew well enough.” (and while i believe they both loved each other) do you think boris actually knew theo loved him? i mean i doubt they had talked about it. theo is such an unreliable narrator and also a dumbass so like... what r ur thoughts

I believe he did know. It's my gut feeling. Aside from Boris obviously noting Theo's jealousy over Kotku, even through his own churning confused teenaged emotions: I think Theo maybe was clinging onto Boris' chest one night, half drenched in sweat and tears, sleepily choking on sobs, warm skin against warm skin, and Boris maybe mumbled something like... "You have me, Potter." And in Boris' heart he feels that tender terrifying thing - the thing he doesn't want to name. This bird in his arms like a bird in a nest.

And then nights later, Theo awake in the pitch dark and moonlight, softly dabbing the bloody gouge on Boris' eyebrow. He thinks Boris is sleeping, listening to his raw ugly and monotonous breathing from wounded ribs -- but he isn't. Boris doesn't sleep well on nights like this, for all his bluster. He is awake, eyes closed, observing Potter's soft and painfully gentle hands from the safety of feigned slumber. This carefulness Theo uses... this kindness Boris lurched away from in the waking hours. Care. In the daylight it drives him off in cowardly backwheels, like a whip to an animal that fears a sting. Theo touches the wound so gently Boris barely flinches, barely had to pretend, and then he hears him whisper, "You have me, Boris," definitively, before setting down to sleep snug against him. Covering them both.

And Boris knows.
