I think it's starting to become clear that Daniel is in vcarb in 2025, even though I hate this team. But I'm happy to see Daniel's hater suffer. I hope he can return to a top team and finish with the sport as he hopes. I will be patient and wait to see him until then.
Wait you hate this team?? I love this team!! What about it you don’t love - the questionable strategies, the car that runs hot and cold, the gay dads energy from the bear lookalike ceo and the tiny French man tp who both love Daniel or the race engineer who has a tiny book of Daniel phrases to quote from and who will very likely also starting barking on the radio the next time Daniel gets a good result???
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - vcarb is not a bad place for Daniel to be next year. Obviously they do not run with the efficiency of a top team but they’re clearly focused on working towards long-term success and they’re laying the foundation for a GOOD 2025
#obviously in an ideal world we all would want Daniel at red bull fighting for wins#but success is relative#seeing him get a p4 in a vcarb is as fulfilling as winning in a red bull (I’m lying)#but it’s going to happen soon even if not next year#because Daniel is sticking around for another 5 years 😌#anon ask

so pixies regularly try to take over fairyworld is timmy on the pixie side?
At first, Timmy was adamantly against the Pixies. He'd tell Jorgen every time he got a notice of their plans to take over Fairyworld, and work to stop it! But it gets a bit harder to resist against your own court the longer you hang out with them.
In the present time, Timmy schedules to be out of FairyWorld during their takeovers. He doesn't try to stop them, but also refuses to be anywhere near when it happens.
He... doesn't like how he's slowly starting to cheer for them. Or how their arguments are becoming more convincing. Or how he's struggling to recall why he was so against them to begin with.
There will come a point where he becomes an active participant. Timmy worries that it's coming sooner than he'd like.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop timmy turner#fop timmy#timmy turner#asks#itty bitties fop au#AJHEHEHEHEH#timmy's happy that hp never ever tries to convince him to take part#hp knows timmy's antagonistic against him and knows going to timmy would just ruin their plans#but oughghg.#sanderson has such GOOD arguments.#taking over fairyworld means not working in the office....#you get paid time off....#....the more you participate the bigger the payout bonus after.........#the only reason timmy doesnt bother fighting against them anymore is because he knows theyll fail#there has never been a successful take over#at this point its a bit like playing snip the tail#just a way for the pixies to relieve stress and let their voices be heard#or at least that's how he tries to reason it to himself#also if ur wondering where he goes when hes not allowed on earth#timmy goes to anti-fairy world and hangs out with his anti relatives#well its more like doing chores for them and being their busboy but like!!!#better than being in fairyworld and feeling conflict between your instincts and your family!!!!!

I love all of the Primarch children content people make, especially the discussions about how potentially horrific the pregnancy would be for the baseline mother, and I wanted add my own little spin on it. So here's the pitch:
What if they weren't perfect? What if, instead of superhuman demigods like their father - or even a normal, healthy baseline like their mother - the Primarch’s child is a weak and sickly little thing; the natural gestation process having been unable to properly compensate for the extraordinary weirdness that is Primarch genes?
'Cause, they were made in a lab, right? With each gene painstakingly implemented and worked to compensate for oneanother in order to create a viable being. So, what if without outside intervention their genes just can't healthily gel with a baseline's?
So, what the couple had thought was the baby sapping their mother of her vital nutrients to fuel a Primarch's level of growth and strength was actually their baby fighting tooth and nail to develope at all. And even after having taken such a steep toll on their mother's health, the child still comes out small and underdeveloped, barely clinging to life.
That's it, that's the idea. Primarchs with chronically ill and disabled children because of their fucked up genes. Send tweet.
#Vulkan Lorgar and Sanguinius are likely to take this the best#at least in terms of both their own reaction and that of their gene sons#the salamanders are just like that#and the blood angels and word bearers are susceptible to some kind of protoreligious spin on it that makes them view the child favorably#and maybe corvus too#I dont know much about the ravenguards overall vibe unfortunately but corvus is pretty coolheaded and compassionate so maybe that translates#i think guilliman and dorn would be relatively fine but their genesons would struggle with it#though I can see this leading to them putting even more pressure on their child's academic success than normal#almost like they have to make up for their lacking physical prowess#same with Magnus frfr#ferus and fulgrim would be a n i g h t m a r e#Ferrus who hates all forms of weakness and Fulgrim with his perfect image would not cope well with a disabled child methinks#primarch x reader#primarch x oc#primarch children#and each of them would have slightly different issues based on their sire#like corvus' kid would for sure be one of those people who are straight up allergic to sunlight

The thing I really fucking love about Dungeon Meshi's ending is that it has the perfect set up for a generic fantasy divine right of kings angle, both by conquest and blessing bestowed by the previous monarch. People make those arguments on page, it really looks like that's where it going. And then the story swerves on them. Like nah, mate. If that helps convince some people, great, but none of that can make him a head of state.
What puts Laios on the throne is the respect and good will he personally earned from a diverse coalition of the communities he'd be governing, and the willingness of more established foreign powers to recognise and legitimate his government. Now that's fucking politics, baby.
#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#dunmeshi spoilers#dungeon meshi spoilers#dunmeshi manga spoilers#manga spoilers#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#Laios is as close as a monarch can get to democratically elected#and come to think of it afaik Kui never establishes what Melini's succession looks like#he doesn't have to pass the crown to a relative and he frankly has no incentive to#could be interesting

i hc that Saltbootywipe and the two brother cup goblins have a Tom n Jerry type relationship post-Wonderfart cause i think that's so funny and has lots of room for shenanigans. like he threatens them to be nice to Chalice and bring her home by [specified time] OR ELSE (ominous thunder crash) and maybe miStAkenlY leaves them locked in his creepy basement or oven. y'know. not EVIL behavior but mere 'pranks' he'll brush off as them 'having a little fun' (which the bros then return with full vengeance pranks or tattling to Amor/Chalice).
🍓my self-insert oc goes by any pronouns 💖 we are not the same person! 🍓

For all of winter break, Amy would watch as her parents walked out the door every morning, trapped in an endless daily grind of productivity and employee satisfaction, and leave her behind. But unlike how Birdie had stepped up for his family, Amy couldn't save them from this. — In the aftermath of the battle against Perfect Chaos, Station Square is forever changed. Everything Amy Rose had known and held dear had sunk far below the surface of the water that claimed the lives of thousands. Nothing will ever be the same.
Chapter 3
The call didn't come for another week.
But Amy couldn't sit around for an entire week. None of them could.
School had been canceled for the foreseeable future. Between the damages and the displaced families, it would be a while before classes could resume. Businesses went dark. Storefronts remained shuttered, people relying on emergency supplies being sent to them by way of G.U.N. and various charity organizations. Some grocery stores and restaurants in the suburbs were still open, donating what they could to emergency workers and people in need. The hotels in the area that could still function were operating as shelters for people who'd lost their homes, government officials working around the clock to get people to safety by whatever means possible.
Hospitals were full—people were being transported to neighboring cities as far north as Westopolis when supplies had run low and healthcare workers couldn't keep up with the demand. Loved ones were separated, entirely by accident, in the cases where individuals couldn't be identified. Phones were ringing off the hook as people tried to find news of friends and families' whereabouts, many of them merely waiting for the same confirmation Amy was.
So it was the perfect time to put her plan into motion.
Because if Amy Rose had time to worry, then she also had time to do what she did best. Help people.

I need a whole fic where the Cerritos is mistaken for the Enterprise by some type of alien with very high intelligence but very poor visual recognition, for whatever reason.
And Freeman either can't or is too scared to convince them that they're not the Enterprise, so she starts desperately assigning everyone to various roles. Boimler gets assigned as Data, and since he and Mariner are the only people on the ship who play string instruments, the captain orders them to put together some sort of "symphony" because the aliens have heard that that's a thing on the Enterprise.
And it's just Mariner and Boimler frustratedly trying to figure out how to combine her electric guitar skills and his traditional violin skills into something suitably "symphonic" (i.e. thematically trying to combine her more lax/modern way of doing things with his more strict/traditional way).
#star trek lower decks#marinler#lower decks#I NEED these two playing music together#also Stevens gets assigned to play Picard and is way too into it#goes a little mad with power and ends up being the episode's main antagonist#they forgive him in the end though#Ransom is Riker obviously#Mariner gets assigned to play Troi and has a fun time pretending to read people's thoughts and they just have to go along with it#Rutherford is obviously Geordi due to his implant#T'Ana plays Crusher on the basis that she is *technically* a redhead and refuses to elaborate further when questioned#Shaxs is Worf and insists that his nose ridges are forehead ridges#Freeman is Displeased (TM) about having to pretend to be a lower-decker since there isn't a part for her#Tendi works the duty-shift with her and ends up helping her work through her issues about not feeling respected as a Cali-class captain#basically pointing out that success is relative and that she didn't succeed according to her family's standards either#but it doesn't matter because she loves what she does#who knows maybe I'll write it one of these days

Evermore is grown-up Speak Now. You either get it or don't get it <3
#wintery imagery... wild wistfulness... coming after a more commercially successful predecessor with similar themes and aesthetic#that's associated with summer/spring#song apologizing to someone whose heart you've broken/song about an age gap relationship with power imbalance where the younger partner#feels used and belittled by the older partner#song reflecting on childhood and a relative in particular/'when i was shipwrecked i dreamed of you and it was real enough to get me through/#'may these memories break our fall'

Chris Grace as Scarlett Johansson is such an immersive special that when you finish it and search for other people's reactions on tumblr, you also find a million sincere mcu posts that mention Scarlett, one of the Chrises, and happens to have the word grace, and then you have to sit with that
#chris grace as scarlett johansson#being canceled while white makes you overwhelmingly more present than an artist of color while being relatively successful

there is just something so hot about the thought of antonio parading around with a habsburg ring around his neck after him and roderich are back together. like i just imagine some of the faces and. yes.
#i promise i'll make a hetalia sideblog#anyways#probably need to point out that in my vision roderich was the one to get them rings#and it was actually relatively later in their “marriage” (they rarely address their alliance like that but the implications are def there)#after they split antonio kept his ring but changed the finger he was wearing it on and stuck on other rings so it wouldn't stand out#roderich handed antonio his ring too shortly after the war of the austrian succession#roderich doesn't wear his ring even after they're back together bc just the thought of wedding rings trigger the trauma ❤️#he lowkey hates the implications that go with it but he's fine with antonio showing it off#most days#hetalia#spaus#aph spain#hws spain#antonio fernandez carriedo#aph austria#hws austria#roderich edelstein

Expectation: This short DVD feature about the artist who designed the backgrounds for Disney's Sleeping Beauty will be a nice, sweet little story about an artist obsessed with detail.
Reality: "Eyvind Earle's physically-abusive father essentially kidnapped him and took him around the world for three years while forcing him to paint a picture every single day until he managed to escape."
#if i had a nickel for every story i experienced this year#expecting a heartwarming inspirational story about a person finding success in a relatively low-stakes activity#only to find it was a story of insane parental abuse#i'd have two nickels#disney#sleeping beauty

thinking back on how many times i've made comments on how doomed the siblings are in my hyperfixations is like, oh yeah this definitely is a common thread in the series i like 💀 (spoilers for octopath2 below)
OCTO2 HAS IT SO BAD... i made this chart last year because i realized like my god. if you are an older sibling in octo2 your chances of surviving are practically 0 a/gnea only has immunity because she's a protagonist 😭 btw looking back at this chart i would definitely move some pairs around in the y-axis like why did i put the mei siblings so low? we just don't know
does anyone even remember t/rousseau's dead sister!!! because i do!!!
#satsusays#drgl had relatively fewer siblings i felt insane about but like you know (gestures) The Alberian Royal Family .#i just wish we saw more of them interacting as siblings before they began betraying each other all over the place#and i found my old tweets wishing for a future wyrmclan leader to have a storyline about a sibling and succession issues like god!!#i was so right . i think about tsune and shingen's rships w their brothers so much considering they're both practically noncharacters#maple probably started it all tho oh my god the dead sibling jokes were so plentiful there
