Oh, Iām so sorry Daniel that sexual misconduct allegations are too much of a ānoise and distractionā for you. How very understandable that you wish for this to simply āgo away.ā Incredibly inconvenient that this is messing with your vibes.
Not that I expected much from a man who said he didnāt watch world news because it contains too much ādrama and negativityā for him.
#daniel ricciardo#i mean we are all talking about this right??#f1#interview#saudi arabian gp 2024#like if this were one of my faves weād never hear the end of it#donāt get me wrong - both max and charles have said some ignorant crap but their asses were called out and skewered and so they should#he aināt getting a pass just cuz yāall love his doofus smile#elle.txt#p.s. stroll bottas and hulkenberg should all be ashamed too

god we need to bring crackfic back. or just short and idiotic ideas that wouldnāt happen but would be funny to read
#i just had a vivid imagination of geraltās company having a pillow fight#setting and timeframe: september 10ish. in riverdell aka transriver#dandelion hits geralt with his bedroll pillow (a quite flat thing and not very comfortable but what are you to do) for levity#itās a game of a bygone time. a mild pillow fight is plausible between geralt and dandelion in the short stories#cahir comments . wow ā¦ really dandelion ā¦ this is so juvenile ā¦ i havenāt done a pillow fight since i was 10 ā¦ itās for kidsā¦#dandelionās response: pillow to the face. immediate vicovarian reaction: dandelion razed harder by his pillow than cintra by nilfgaard#dandelion screams ear-curdlingly (youād imagine someone was being murdered in this swamp)#geralt (still at this moment in time resentful of cahir) leaps and attacks him with his pillow#geralt and cahir spar with pillows like swords but get to smothering each other quickly#milva (see this is foreshadowing for like two weeks days later) had enough and starts pillowing the both of them#she also had not said literally anything for the past week so this is a surprise that she would involve herself#dandelion hits milva on the ass (with his pillowā¦) she nearly kills him#geralt and cahir try to save dandelion etc#regis has been watching all of this like š«¤#geralt (better mood now) asks him why he is not getting involved.#regis: āwhatā¦ ought i to be doingā#geralt: āhelping me smack cahir with pillowsā#regis doesnāt even sleep with a pillow. dandelion calls out he probably has an extra on his bedroll. milva screams at regis donāt touch that#regis psychoanalyzes they are relieving their stresses and anxieties in a social bonding ritual involving play fighting#which is likely of primal origin in simian social troupes but i digress#regis reasons he doesnāt have latent quarrels with anyone in the group so it would be pointless for him to join#cahir is like well i like everybody here and i still am smacking dandelion with a pillow š#milva reasons just imagine someone you hate on the other end. she imagined beating the crap out of her stepfather š#regis still reluctant to join | geralt gets an idea and smilesāimagine the guy who coined the term āundeadā#wrath of eons unleashed#regis after knocking geralt off his feet with a pillow: am i doing it right āŗļø#meanwhile nilfgaardian spy watching them from the bushes:#āi was going to report on them but it looks as though theyāve all gone insaneā#āor maybe they were like that all alongā#the elbow-high diaries

i know i don't shut up about it but i think it really truly says something about link's nature as a whole that the four of them got attached to shadow so ridiculously fast. vio at least had the excuse of hanging out with him for however long it was but it was still indicative of that same nature that he quite literally accompanied shadow in burning down a good portion of hyrule's lands and STILL quietly mourned him after they'd "killed" him. but then you have the most obvious examples of blue and green getting so unbelievably distraught when shadow "died for real this time (he did not die for real this time)" after interacting with him in a manner that wasn't "trying to murder each other" for a grand total of like. five minutes. ten minutes tops.
shadow helps them out exactly one time (and really you could see it as him just doing the bare minimum to clean up the mess he created by getting link to release vaati in the first place) and suddenly the links as a whole are like "FORGIVEN!" and if "making friends" was a button they all started hitting it so hard that it broke. shadow was like "still doesn't make me part of the body :(" and green speaking for all of them was like What the fuck are you talking about. Of course it does. We're friends. and by god is that going to influence everything that happens after the manga. like no matter what issues themselves arise between link and shadow that they're gonna have to work through (namely: vio's betrayal) if anyone ever tries to tell him that shadow still poses a threat to hyrule as a whole and he's an enemy and should be taken out then link is just gonna hit them with some flavor of this and that's gonna be the end of the conversation:
#ultimately the one thing that shines through in all four of the links. the one thing in all of them derived from link himself. is his heart.#and it's a very big heart and the minute shadow inserted himself into the picture in a way that wasn't murder-y the entirety of link was#like Alright you're getting integrated into the 'people i love with all my heart' circle. Get in here.#AND EVEN WHEN SHADOW WAS MURDER-Y THERE WAS STILL ONE-FOURTH OF LINK THAT WAS LIKE SIGH. ALRIGHT. I ADMIT IT. I CARE HIM.#i do not think they could ever actually hate each other. not in any way that matters or lasts. this is just talking about link's side of#things too. it's not getting into how shadow was like 'i'll never forgive you' @ vio and then. forgave him. even if it wasn't explicitly &#verbally his actions speak for themselves. & it was green telling him they were friends that made him reach out for the light at long last#and at the end of it all when he comes back. he's happy. he's smiling. he's giving the readers a thumbs up. all that's left is for link to#turn around. because he's link's shadow and for all that they're different two separate beings they still SHARE that same big heart.#and link recognized that. vio said himself that he could see that shadow was a reflection of them all.#slamming my fists repeatedly on the table do you guys SEEEEEE do you GET ITTTTTTT#fsa#txt#four swords#<-yeah i'lll put this in the main tag. why not

Everyone this week: *lore, conspiracy theories, long conversations with Cucurucho, multiple attempts to summon the Binary Monster*
Spreen when lore:
#Spreen#ElSpreen#Cucurucho#Osito Bimbo#QSMP#(THIS IS A JOKE)#Spreen and Rubius have both been getting a lot of annoying fans / harassment the past few weeks#Spreen for not being a dad and Rubius because ??? people just don't like his Angel / Demon character. and because of dumb shipping things#But seeing Spreen leaning into the ''nope no lore for me'' joke cracked me up LMAO they've all got such a good sense of humor#Look at that smile he knows EXACTLY what he's doing#NO HESITATION#anyways he logged back on after like 2 minutes and talked to Cucurucho#I'm PRETTY sure he said ''ok guys I'm gonna order some food'' at the end there but not confident enough to write that in the description#Man really just ''NOPE''-ed outta there lmfao#He's also saying ''who's placing blocks?'' at the beginning

what makes minedai even sadder is that we never rlly see daigo try to build a bond with anyone else like he did with mine it rlly shows how badly it effected him like yeah he reached out to shinada in y5 but thatās rlly it and he probably would wanna leave him alone after that and not involve him in any yakuza stuff so i donāt think they wouldāve hung out or anything like that afterwards. All he rlly had were saejima and majima but they were more like babysitters than anything, wish we saw more of their dynamic tho like we did with majima and daigo in dead souls since that was fun and we were lowkey robbed but in canon heās just as lonely as he was before majimas promise to kiryu. And mine is the only person he really had a meaningful relationship with romantic or not they were still really close and we donāt see that again with daigo ever (from what i recall after y3) ok sorry for rambling LMFAO
even with shinada, he reached out to him more so out of 'duty' and trying to make up for the misfortune that befell him because of yakuza than wanting to rekindle any kind of friendship they might have had in high school (though it sounds more like they were just acquaintances if shinada needing a second to remember who daigo was is anything), so yah i doubt they really had any kind of bond afterwards
dead souls really was the only time after Y3 where we got to see daigo be more sociable with someone, but its as you say majima and saejima are more like retainers than close friends
#snap chats#you can tell i was into fire emblem when the first term that comes to my mind to call majima and saejima was 'retainers' omfg#but yeah ..... depressing ....#does make me wonder who daigo was on the phone with during the rggo story though. like clearly daigo has friends#apparently. we just never see or hear of them. tho ig it is implied those were his friends from the y2 era. as mine said flarkjla#REGARDLESS yeah after y3 daigo just feels depressing to watch#i think its just because he really has to do everything on his own now#but not even have a friend to just chill with at the end of the day- like the technical work is whatever. for the most part#THATS stressful obvi so to not have anyone to really be personable with thats probably the dire part. imo.#cause yk the world could suck but as long as you have that One Person to just relax with then its ok but with mine gone. š§āāļø#probably doesnt help that like. during the 'flashback' segment of y3 where we get to see daigo sitting with kiryu and nakahara#we see him all cheery and bein a lil jokester and just. A Happy Dude#granted this is barely a year or two into being chairman so The Horrors Havent Set In relatively but still ... i miss his smile ..#every time i think of daigo post-mine i think of those like. tragedies or accounts of people where its like#'after X's friend/lover died they never found another again' like thats the vibe i always get#he really packed it up and never got close with anyone else again and it makes me want to throw up#y4 widow arc still good tho it makes me chortle

hi. for people who saw gatsby: an american myth. do you remember mckee asking nick for lunch. and then gatsby in like the next scene inviting nick for lunch. because i remember.
#not pjo#chitter chatter#when gatsby was like 'we should do lunch' i was like. hello. fucking. hello. are we. hello.#gatsby really said we just met literally 5 minutes ago. come meet my father figure. normal normal thing to do jay.#to be clear gatsby also asks him to go to lunch in the book. but like. there's a time skip. and also#in the show after mckee asks they immediately start making out on the couch. none of this ... nonsense#so the vibes are a LITTLE different in my brain.#i saw a few people say they didnt think gatsby and nick flirted enough and like while i do think that think part of it is we're#in nick's pov but not his HEAD#he DOES start singing about gatsby's smile for no reason until jordon is like. alright buddy. lets talk about daisy.#like nick was just Doing That. pull it together carraway.#but i got the vibe (JUST my take) that gatsby was like. kinda into nick. zero reason to be leaning into his space like that sir.#however when he actually MET daisy again he became kinda singularly focused on her again#i mean he built his whole lifeup to this moment#he says it at the end. he murdered pieces of himself to bring himself here. for DAISY.#him snapping back to daisy mode makes sense to me but he still reaches out for nick as a comfort in the sense that hes like#nick do NOT leave please stay with us. daisy does the same. and ofc part is that theyre really. fucking awkward. but like.#LET ME HAVE MY OWN NONSENSE INTERPRETATIONS. HES TRAPPED BY WHITENESS AND CLASS AND HETEROSEXUALITY.#hes already so much of an outsider trying to fit in. (i also think he loves daisy or an ideal at least. and she's EASIER to love. safer.)#nick inherently has more freedom even as a gay man in the sense that hes richer and white and an ivy league dude i mean you understand righ#right????????#even if its in the book i do wanna point out the parallels between those moments. im choosing to see it as deeply intentional <3#this show had a lot of repetition and parallels (see daisy and myrtle in a lot of songs and scenes)#(one i LOVE is tom giving myrtle a necklace and daisy later giving TOM her necklace in case he sees anyone he knows. idk love that shit)#im...gonna queue this#im embarrassed to talk about this show so much. so. into the queue it goes!!!#all the worlds a stage#so like. anyway. thats where i think nick's mind immediately went when gastsby asked him for lunch. personal headcanon <3#gatsby after one convo: we're doing lunch // me and nick immediately: oh ok! guess that's a date then!

So I may have been slightly obsessing over āTo sir with loveā, as one does, and a thing that has been circling in my head for the last few days is the way Tian's confrontation with his mother at the start of episode 13 and his talk with Yang at the end of the same episode echo and oppose each other.
Madame Li comes to Tian when he is in love, hopeful, begging for a chance at happiness, and how does she respond? She crushes it, with the revelation about Jiu and Mr. Ma yes, but mostly with everything else. You will never know love, she says, except mine. That stifling love who wants him to be someone else, that chips at who he is again and again and again.
Then Yang finds his brother (heart)broken, and Tian holds him back to confess his love, again, now in despair and shame and self loathing. And Yang response to that is as it has always been, that his brother is wonderful just as he is. You deserve love he promises, and I love you I love you I love you. A love with no reservation and for all that Tian is, a love always there.
And they both love Tian, they are both afraid and worried for him, both are going to great lengths to protect him, at this point both believe that Jiu has lied to Tian and played him. And. Yet. His mother again puts the blame on him, on who he is, makes him guilty of his own betrayal. His brother reminds him that it's not true, that the betrayer is to blame, and that the fault never laid with him.
And so it's no surprise that Tian pushes away his mother and the prison her love has built around him, but seeks the comfort of his brother's love who has always celebrated who he is.
#the contrast between the ways Madame Li and Yang love Tian was fascinating to me during the whole series#the way his mother keeps pushing him down into shame and his brother keeps lifting him up and celebrating all of who he is#also I was already pretty weepy halfway through the discussion at the temple#but when Mme Li said 'no one will ever love someone like you' I straight up sobbed#the violence of those words??? mein gott I had to stop the video a moment#and after seeing him smile like that at being loved?? believing he's being deceived is NOT an excuse putain#(anyway there is a lots of shared blame for the way Tian views himself (hi Mr Song) but she's done a big part of the work ngl)#on the other hand Yang get the Best Brother Award - leaving the rest of the competition far far behind#and don't get me started on Tian's crying face#it got to me every fucking time like excellent job here but also I ended up on the verge of dehydration too many times#Khun Chai#To sir with love#thai drama#lakorn#asianlgbtqdrama#Tian x Jiu#TianJiu#One31#thai bl#mine#gifs#ragongif
