Sometimes I sing to myself while putting my hair up in a bun with one of my hair sticks.

(To the tune of Secret Tunnel from Avatar.)

Secret weapon!

In my hair now.

Secret, secret, secret, secret weapon!

I wrote the sentence "All Scott can think of is that skinny kid with the scraped knees arriving home from summer spacecamp, his noodle arms full of freebies and one baby tooth missing from his megawatt grin." in a fic this morning anD

Late night sketch

The man that is Max Verstappen 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ he literally and figuratively cannot win. He knows the rules and pushes them to the limits and everyone complains he’s dangerous and going to kill someone yet if he would just be a pushover everyone would complain that he’s not doing enough to win and is throwing away his championship. Yet with a tractor of a car and a 20 sec penalty he STILL makes P6! Now people are complaining he’s ruining his reputation with the FIA? Maybe the should try being consistent. I’m pretty sure they’re going to make him drive the stake, blind folded and with one hand before they think he’s okay.

Thing is, yeah he can’t win because people just don’t like him. Which at the end of the day I understand. If someone isn’t likeable to you, everything they do is going to piss you off.

I don’t think it’s fair to demand people be on his side if his racing style or personality just isn’t palatable to them. Someone can be like “yeah I don’t like his vibe” or like Tommy from P1 said “the way he was racing is not sporting and it’s not why I watch racing”. That’s totally fair. I don’t agree with you, but that’s your opinion and you decide why you tune in.

However, the rules are the rules. So no, what he did in Austin was not illegal. So no, any doesn’t mean all. You can’t argue he’s wrong when the rules are written how they are. If you don’t like the rules, that’s another matter.

I like his ride or die attitude to racing because at the end of the day what did he sacrifice his childhood for if not for that trophy? What does he sacrifice a relationship with family for if not to win? If he doesn’t do everything and I do mean everything to be the one with his name engraved on that trophy at the end of the year then how does he justify spending 24 weeks of the year away from his loved ones? The point at which you’re not willing to do whatever it takes is the point at which you have no reason to be there, if you’re in his position.

So I respect that. If others don’t well cool idk.

But the way the FIA and the official pundits go after him just beggars belief. It is so distasteful and nasty. And I’m not afraid to say I don’t enjoy partiality in sports commentary. Partisan chat is for the couch and the pub not the broadcast. I don’t think it’s correct that their nationalism and their biases are played out on a broadcast that most people have no choice but to watch. I don’t think it should be allowed and I don’t think it adds anything to the broadcast, it’s unprofessional. And Sulayem uses the stewards and the FIA like his personal KGB to retaliate against those who step out of line, in his effort to make the sport some kind of catch all family entertainment.

And in the absence of any critical thinking skills the narratives that are pushed by this cabal of money hungry hypocrites are what fans latch onto. That’s where the problem lies imo.

Oof sorry for the rant but like…yeah.

One thing I realized when it comes to the meritocracy proposed in CF/SB is that you kind of have to get rid of crested people and Nabateans. Like Dimitri is regarded as a powerful warrior due to his crest and training‚ he would dominate any physical career (‚ not to mention Hilda as well since in GW she blocks his strike). And while I don't know the exact process of getting crests‚ first gen (non-Nabatean) crest-bearers live a really long time (Willy‚ Jeralt‚ and Yuri) with no perceived (1/2)

That's what I've been saying since day 9 lol

Crested people skew the "meritocracy" angle because, even if the game did its best to curb down the ludonarrative experience - unlike FE Jugdral where HB means an unit is better than a non HB unit - it still exists.

Flayn with her crest will always be able to heal a fractured lung by clapping in her hands, when Ignatz would need to use all of his magic because he doesn't get the "boost to healing spells" Flayn's crest gives her.

Same with extended lifespans - let it be training martially, being "wise" or even being a polyglot, by sheer virtue of having at least 200 years on "regular" humans, first gen crest bearers and nabateans would... have more knowledge than Leonie's grandma.

--

Jerry questioning Rhea about bby!Billy is one of those things that, even if the 10 years of lore existed and were revealed, would never be developed because it was done at the cost of that world's consistency.

As you mentioned, regardless of Jerry knowing what Sitri was or not, Jerry knows he "oddly" older than everyone else and might have the same longevity as the Elites, he should have seen people like him around (cardinals), he lived through the Alliance's birht and Nopes reveals he was around when Rhea faked the death of the "blonde archbishop who was painted by an Adrestian and loved birds".

So unless Rhea indeed called the baby "mother" - which would not match with all the later interactions she has with Billy - there is so much "weirdness" going on with Jerry and/or around him that... suddenly being afraid of Rhea and ditching everything to become a merc with a newborn is either stupid, or plot contrived.

Day 74 - same thing as yesterday, but less successfully and with moderate erasing. He is much harder to draw than a lizard

[lightfulonion]

thank you @skijjiki for tagging me!!!! i love these types of tagging games so much!!

last song: Tokyo Calling by ATARASHII GAKKO! (pls watch the music video. its so good 😭) im kind of, sort of, obsessed with this and i have been listening to it non-stop like my life depends on it. anyway

fav color: hmm im really feeling brown right now (wow! that sounds awful! im not changing my answer tho. brown rules.)

currently reading: im able to read only fanfics at the moment because anything that involves a book and new characters feels like too much work for me for some reason and also like im cheating at my classes in university. both of these suck big butt and i hate being like this but it's true. anyway please read a million times along the way by starsqwub. its a bokuaka fic, it hasnt updated since 2022 and it made me cry every chapter. its about love, its about friends, its about being a weird person in a normal world and, more importantly, its about bokuto and akaashi. oh! also manga like chainsaw man and toilet bound hanako-kun!! and some webcomics as well too.

currently watching: the wall mostly but also dungeon meshi! and ive been trying to be up-to-date with the one piece anime!!

spicy/savory/sweet: sweet <3

relationship status: i was reading a bokuaka fic and i was crying. take a wild guess.

current obsessions: listening to Tokyo Calling and ATARASHII GAKKO! apparently and im starting to feel like reading the ending of Haikyuu!! which is probably a bad thing?? (im scared. i really dont want it to end :'((( )

I have been stuck in Knitting Jail for most of this year, slowly working on making just a bunch of basic ass scarves to give out on Crimbus

They are wonky, they're frankly put downright laughable, but they're usable and extremely soft and that's what really matters
