What bothers Tarvek most about the concept of Gilvek is his name component coming second, but more infuriatingly that Tarmesh doesn't sound as fashionable so he's stuck accepting the former.

And he's not even going to START about using the 'name X name' format, or pseudonym structure, instead of portmanteau. In this essay, he will--

SO REAL

no but that's 10000% accurate he's definitely fuming over the ship name he's just >:( over in the corner like FINE YES i love my boyfriend YES i like being shipped with him but WHY isnt MY NAME FIRST >:(

Speed Racer (2008) holds a special place in my heart for not just being a live-action adaptation, but a live-action anime.

it is indeed, as John Goodman said in one of the featurettes for the film, "human anime", and I love that to pieces

I've not given a look back to the MLP fandom in quite a while until your 1920s AU grabbed me. Was the Z rename because there was a problem with her name, or just personal preference?

I wanted to give Zahara a real human name. Zecora's taken from an antiquated Oromo word for zebra ("Zekora") too, so it's technically not even a word in any language.

Before you rush to judgment about tumblr users, remember that the walrus has the second largest external penis of any mammal.

hey i just said that they're less likely to want to fuck a walrus, not that it's off the table completely

Okay, I'll bite. What's the 'brocedes' thing?

Oh BOY. ok. They're called brocedes because bro (self explanatory) + cedes (they were teammates at Mercedes fighting for the championship) and they are just the most agonising sports yaoi to ever exist... no one can summarise it better than this post can: https://www.tumblr.com/blorbocedes/695765804309004288

while you read it keep in mind that all of this is fucking REAL. all of it can be backed up by sources. they DID go from childhood best friends & karting teammates who went on vacation together to f1 besties living in the same building to bitter teammates (what they've wanted since day one) and rivals who played the most insane mind games. they destroyed each other because they knew each other that well. ig they loved winning more than they loved each other.

there are sooo many details omitted in the rundown that I linked that I constantly lose my mind over too like... yes their relationship was obviously falling apart but they still had incredibly tender/sweet moments in the middle of their warring like??? i wish i'd understand.

They butted heads (or cars i suppose) numerous times over the years but there's one absolutely infamous crash (every reddit bro recounting crashes or whatnot will talk about this one) in Spain 2016, where they took each other out at the very beginning of the race, thus truly cementing the "divorce":

anyways Nico retired almost immediately after winning the championship in 2016 (something practically unheard of) but their story didn't end there. there's nico running from lewis' champagne spray on instinct even though they're no longer friends. there's nico publicly mourning the loss of their friendship, versus lewis going out of his way to find the most convoluted phrasing to avoid mentioning the other by name (he was fooling no one)... there's crofty (well-known pundit) calling brocedes "everything but a lover" on live television, TO NICO'S FACE. there's lewis reminiscing about how racing with Nico in italy was some of the best days of his life (and he put little Nico into his autobiographical picture book. god.) there's nico just knowing that Lewis held his breath on his pole lap in Hungary 2023 before Lewis even said so because of course he'd know him better than anyone else. I can go on and on here because they have years upon years of lore but i shan't.

oh and one of my favourite things: F1's official channel as this wonderful little compilation called "Top 10 Cool Down Room Moments in F1" (the cool down room is for the top 3 finishers of each race) and brocedes appears multiple times. Watch the 2008 clip at 1:40 with them embracing after Nico's first podium finish vs. the 2015 clip at 6:05 where their relationships as teammates were already deterioriating. The difference is heartbreaking.

And finally have some pictures of them over the years:

genuinely devastating comparison edit I made. I hate them so much.

this ad is from the beginning of their stint as Mercedes teammates and it always kills me. they didn't know what was coming. nico, in fact, was confident that they'd stay friends:

The end. hope you enjoyed this sort of lengthy and incoherent answer to your question. I'm going to now throw myself out the window.

[an0n-1o1]

Are you sure you trust the quality of your copper mutual? I've heard that quality copper gets faked a lot.

I think this is the funniest response I have ever gotten about referring to my mutual via part of their username

Me watching my Chibodee thirst post gain traction thanks to Tumblr user @cryoverkiltmilk

[urrone]

You're welcome. Glad I could help. 🙂

Once someone told me that if dying on a hill was an Olympic sport I would 100% represent team USA and it’s one of the things I love most about Brennan. 😂😂

But yes thank you so much for the post, it’s perfect!!

[spacedustpan]

I'm so glad to have made a contribution to your lexicon. 😊

😂💖

I'm glad too! It's been enriching whenever I chuck something into the distance or into a trashcan!

[spoekelse]

Your infodumping is not reducing your ability to make friends. It is distilling the pool of friend candidates to the highest quality.

so true 😤 if you can’t handle me at my infodumping-about-obscure-interest you don’t deserve me at my infodumping-about-shared-interest

[roseart72]

Finally done!!!

Had a bunch of stuff happen on the middle of working on this so it took forever lmao

Thank you for everyone who made a suggestion!! I got one or two for campaign 1 so maybe I’ll do just a campaign 1 soon!!

An ask I got from @cryoverkiltmilk in response to a comment I made on a poll has got me curious about other people's feelings on a matter of absolutely no importance whatsoever:
