17yo kirk funniest kid alive ever

“Average Starfleet starship is stolen 3 times a year” factoid actually just statistical error. The average starship is stolen 0 times. The starship Enterprise which has been stolen at least 10,000 times by its own crew during its five year mission is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.

I love Bryan Danielson. But he's not as clean as Tony Schiavone said. The man cheated to win against Nigel McGuinness, he spat on Daniel Garcia (even cut off his entrance), he called Eddie Kingston a bum, he attacked Jun Akiyama, and he also cheated to win against Zack Sabre Jr.

I am not slightly surprised that Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli (BCC) betrayed him. I was surprised that they wanted to kill him. All of this resentment/karma is catching up to him. He's not perfect and possibly an anti-hero. But he's not as clean as Tony claimed to be. This hero worship from Wheeler Yuta is probably gonna be backfired someday.

Bonus:

(*of course Nigel reposted my post 😆*)

This drawing was really just an excuse to draw a long haired, moody, teenaged Spock 😭💚🖖

From Star Trek Academy:Collision Course where a teenage Kirk and Spock meet for the first time, have daddy issues and unravel a conspiracy together.

No, no it’s fine that one of the Starfleet officers who rescued Kirk on Tarsus IV said “let me help”

Totally fine about this

hello!!! i wanted to ask you something, i just saw video of gigi and when they asked him about how he'd define dovi he said fast after thinking about it for too long 😭 so i was wondering if you had some post about the dovi/ducati relationship?

( https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_hrfEKojxd/?igsh=MWtmMXQwYnRlbnF2dQ== )

thank you so much anyways!!! i love your blog 💕💕

(link) can I just say, I think everyone should go watch this because if anything anon is underselling just how long dall'igna pauses. I actually burst out laughing, it's comical

anyway, don't have a post about this specifically but it's an easy one to answer - they HATE each other. quite infamously so, like this was a common bit of paddock gossip for years and years. an open secret that they could barely be in the same room as each other. like here from 2020:

and from a little later in 2020, in the context of dovi leaving ducati:

not ideal, is it. they frequently clashed about development direction... plus dall'igna was a big jorge advocate within ducati, which dovi was unsurprisingly not massively into. important bit of context that dall'igna and jorge had already worked with each other back in their aprilia days. dall'igna's always been a jorge fan, something you would maybe not say is true of dovi. essentially dovi persistently thought ducati weren't listening enough to him and dall'igna persistently thought ducati could be performing better with a better rider. dall'igna never felt like dovi was riding the bike the way it was supposed to be ridden, and eventually the mounting tensions caused an irreconcilable rift between the pair of them

at the latest by 2019, things had definitely soured - with reports around the time of sachsenring of strained relations within the ducati camp, and dovi increasingly publicly critical of ducati:

'did not need to explicitly mention' like that's how you can tell everyone knew they had beef lol

luckily for us, however, we don't even have to rely on rumours here - because dovi went for a bit of a scorched earth approach in early 2021 once him and ducati had parted ways. actually went on the record with a lot of his dall'igna criticisms, all timer interview quite frankly. first he says he hasn't spoken properly with dall'igna for years -

- and is also kind enough to confirm that jorge's arrival specifically soured things lol. then he talks about how much power dall'igna has within ducati:

do we think. do we think from the tone. do we think from the tone that dovi maybe doesn't think ducati made the right choice in going for jorge

goes on to say that the split was always going to happen due to a particularly acrimonious meeting in the middle of 2019, the aftermath of the aforementioned sachsenring troubles. he also accuses ducati of not handling contract negotiations in a sufficiently transparent manner:

obviously the interview caused a bit of a stir, and dall'igna gave quite a muted response that didn't really address anything dovi said specifically:

but you can ofc tell dall'igna isn't a massive fan of dovi, as nicely illustrated by the clip shared above. I also remember watching an interview recent-ish where dall'igna was banging on about how much jorge had helped develop the bike, which. y'know. I'm sure jorge did provide useful input, but it does all feel a little pointed. just all got quite ugly between the two of them, which is also a big reason for why such a successful partnership ended on quite so sour a note

teenage kirk talking about himself and his time on tarsus iv oh no

[tprings-hair]

reading collision course and I love the way they write spock's family arguments. sarek and spock go back and forth calmly declaring the other's point of view to be illogical until amanda has to intervene and cry, "stop it, you're tearing this family apart!" and demand they apologise, which obviously neither of them do. sarek doesn't want to give spock sensitive information because he wants to keep him safe, but spock interprets it as a lack of trust and a challenge to his vulcan nature. sarek calls his viewpoint flawed and hangs up on them. amanda turns to spock and assures him sarek didn't mean to be so nasty. in true teenage fashion, spock basically says yeah, right, then decides if he's not vulcan enough for his parents maybe he can be human enough for starfleet. spock ends things by basically half-disowning himself. it's just dysfunctional enough to be both funny and heartwrenching and I love it
