#but success is relative

[rickybaby]

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

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.

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.

Woof.

My mom going back to college and getting her degree at 51 is inspiring to me but not in the way she wants because it's making me go ooobh I've got plenty of time

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).

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

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.

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."

I had a vision…

the reality is I need to get the hell off of pinterest, because my apartment is lovely and uniquely put together and everyone who enters it compliments it on its decor (yes, yes I am going to hype up my humble, small apartment) and YET I look up after scrolling The Feed and immediately think "I need to change absolutely everything"

So for probably the last decade now I have been working on my traditionally conservative right leaning mother to bring her over to my side.

She was a staunch Tory and Brexiter back in 2016. But I have been picking at her beliefs and misplaced ideas for years and years.

So today we were chatting in light of the election news and I told her I didnt think she was as right wing as she thought she was. I told her I believed she was just set in her ways and holding ancient grudges against the labour party which were misplaced in 2024.

Anyway she dismissed this until I mentioned maybe she should take a political alignment assessment to find out where she actually sits on the political spectrum.

My boomer mother had never heard of such things but clearly this piqued her interest. So I sent her a link.

An hour later she sends me her alignment chart.

A decade worth of political arguments, discussions, and slowly unravelling the brainwashing the likes of The Daily Mail had forced on her and her political alignment is finally:

Left Wing Libertarian.

Technically shes only just left of centre and only just south of authoritarian. Shes mostly a centrist, but she leans left now.

But this is still a win for me. Had she taken that quiz a decade ago i know she would have been firmly on the right. She's never been far right, but she was very Tory aligned.

Anyway I just wanted to write about this because I'm proud of her. But also because I got to laugh and tell her that where she now sits on the alignment chart is pretty much exactly where the Labour Party sits on the alignment chart. I'm gonna let her stew on that for a few days lmao.

what if I wrote one of those "has Critical Role lost its touch and overextended itself" pieces that pop up regularly but about Dimension 20 and genre experimentation
