canon's sweet sweet repeating pattern of

Charlie: "IM SO EXCITED FOR THE THING!!!"

Vaggie: "I'm not."

Charlie: "Awww why not..?"

Vaggie: "Your idea is great but this isn't the best way of getting it done, babe. You're putting way too much trust in guys who keep trying to do or actually doing murder, and you're putting way too much trust in me despite my terrible past you know nothing about, and..."

Charlie: (stares deeply and hopefully into her gf's eye)

Vaggie: "......"

Vaggie: "... and... I can probably make this work, somehow."

Charlie: "YIPEE!!!!"

Charlie: (hugs and or kisses her)

Vaggie: (smiling) (already full of regret) "Woohoo."

Angel Dust: "Oh this? This is just sad, toots."

Vaggie: "As long as Charlie isn't sad I'm okay with that."

pro tip for when you're getting nowhere with customer service on the phone or in emails: if you have the option to just physically show up at the place, do that. you're not gonna be hostile, you're just gonna politely tell the front desk exactly what you need and why it's urgent. if they say it's gonna be awhile or they need to check with someone you politely say "no worries, I'll wait here". you're not gonna say it out loud, but your implicit message is I Am Not Leaving Until This Is Fixed

at first getting diagnosed with cptsd was like, "yay my trauma has been validated (it always was valid)!" and i really thought that was going to be it, but then i started to do research as i do whenever i realize i have something and learned that!! the way i experience socialization is!! quite horrid actually!!

Graves: Considering all I've heard about you and your boys' war with red tape, I was surprised at how nice and neat all your paperwork was.

Price: Oh, I don't break rules.

Graves: Yeah, right, I never said you--

Price, leaning in: But I can bend 'em pretty far.

pecco rant please please

*spins wheel on possible topics* absurdly underrated but in a dumb way. you'd think you can stumble your way into two premier class titles. I don't care he's on the best bike - let's be honest, how often this century have the title winners not been on the best bike? 2004 and to a lesser extent 2005 you can say clearly weaker bike, 2007 late 2010s 2021 there's a clear enough disparity with anyone else riding the bike that you can say clearly the rider is making the difference/it's an unrideable wreck one guy is making respectable, then there's a few seasons where it's at least very close whose machinery is best or they're fighting with people on equal equipment, which pecco has done! but generally speaking, good/promising riders end up on good bikes and then they win. that's how the game works!

the thing about 2022 is that it had such a massive mid-season swing that overhauling a ninety something point margin cannot come down to any single factor. is it fair to say fabio lost that title? on balance, it's a bit harsh - yes, there were a few too many errors post-sachsenring, yes, some were driven by desperation, but also you can't really expect anyone to ride a flawless season. but pecco did win that title as much as yamaha lost it. I don't care if you're riding a literal rocketship with two wheels, you can't win four races in a row if you're not extremely good at what you do! if we're saying that title was worth less because the yamaha turned to shit in the second half of the season, then let's keep going. let's put an asterisk next to 2013 because jorge and dani both got injured (let's not even get into the 'if marc hadn't been injured' asterisks because that's where you get into truly silly territory). is 2006 not a legit title because of all the bad luck valentino faced that year? let's say all titles between 2007 to 2015 were worth less because at any one time only 4-6 bikes had a realistic chance of winning races. throw out any title before 2009 because they were constantly fucking about with the tyres and there wasn't a level playing field. if you're motivated enough, you can play this game with basically anything, but it's dumb and pointless because that's not how sports works! you can only win against whoever you're facing. it has always been thus and it will always be thus

it's narratively fun and juicy that pecco has these insecurities himself - but within the context of everyone else doing discourse over it, the whole thing is massively overblown! linked to some of the worst sports discourse about how much people love to disparage late bloomers, because they need every single successful athlete to fit the same mould of the ultra-talented wunderkind, apparently. it's more interesting when it's not always the most 'talented' (whatever tf that means), naturally gifted, *fast the second he touches a bike* bloke who wins. sometimes they have to work hard for it, sometimes they have to improve themselves year on year and be smart about how they do it, sometimes they have to be in the right place and right time, sometimes they have to be very lucky. sports is all about competition, and competition is all about contrast. it's a contrast that can be generated in a whole lot of ways, and in fairness to motogp they have come up with a bunch of interesting narratively tense contests that don't rely on a massive fundamental 'talent' differential - but at the end of the day, that's one of the best ones you can have! the more ways you can have to win in any given sport, the better, both in the literal sense of how you go about the actual process of winning and how you even become a winner. none of this means that pecco isn't very very good, it means he got there in a different way than every other multiple champ this century has. it fundamentally flattens the sport if you want every top-level competitor to be an alien-level talent... one of the best things about this current era is that it has given us something new and exciting in that regard, where you well and truly believe some very different blokes might have what it takes to eventually be champion

anyway, pecco is absurdly adept at digging himself into holes and absurdly adept at digging himself out of them. he's one of the worst frontrunners imaginable in every sense, biologically incapable of dominating without at least a perpetual hint of jeopardy, both in the context of a race and a season. but when his back is against the wall, somehow he keeps finding performances you never imagined he was capable of. his mixed up and slightly odd skillset, his strengths and weaknesses, how he's better and worse than he has any right to be... all of it lends itself to perpetual momentum shifts and thrilling seasons - because you never quite know what you're going to get. love him or hate him, he's a gift to the overall competitive landscape! god knows the racing hasn't been much to write home about these last few years (though, yes, we did have a good little run this season), but somehow he's managed to get himself involved in two out of the six title deciders this century back-to-back. is that not the dream for the viewer, to have a bloke at the top of the sport with a little self-combust chip in his head every time he builds too much of an advantage? build a hundred of those guys! throw a marc marquez at him and see what he does! I can't wait to see what he'll come up with next

how do you actually think Jean goes to sleep?? I don’t believe that woman is normal about it, I imagine she rotates between different states honestly

Some days she doesn’t go to sleep more of ‘collapse and reset’ situation

Other is with the help of the KOF, each got their way, especially when there is a big event coming up or her … vacation ( no you will not be working in your vacation days. no volunteering is also off the table)

kicking and screaming fighting with every bit of caffeine and energy drinks she might had a small talk with the grim rapper

[snezus-christ-risen]

When someone thinks they’re doing a good job of hiding the fact that they really need to sneeze and their partner/companion says “Go ahead, I know you want to.” Hot af for three reasons:

1. They are noticing that the other person has to sneeze even though that person thinks they’re being sneaky. Whether through sounds, expressions, or body language, they’re giving themself away more than they realize.

2. They’re giving them permission to just let go which 🥵🥵🥵

3. “I know you want to,” want being the key word, as if sneezing isn’t an occasional necessity, but something someone does for the pure enjoyment of it. They know the person who has to sneeze would rather just sneeze but feels like they need to suppress it for whatever reason. So essentially they’re letting them know “If you are trying to hold back because of me, don’t. I know you just want to get it out and over with so you can feel better.”

Do the ninja things you taught Chigiri also work in men? Asking for a friend, ofc...

i mean it worked right @ask-karasu-tabito ?

[thealogie]

not an rpfer or a truther i don't think in real life MS and DT would ever fuck because they have wives and kids and so on and they're heterosexual. but i think there's a parallel universe where they do fuck, but they don't act together in this one. either one or the other

I really do not think they’re fucking but I’ve known theatre people who are just a little in love with their cast mates and not 100% straight and if I had to guess I’d guess that’s what’s happening here. There are many such cases
