#i deserve more respect than that

[on-a-lucky-tide]

Price being a cantankerous arsehole while off duty and Nik having none of it.

Nik says absolutely nothing if it happens on duty because he respects the hierarchy, but off duty, John's his. All bets are off. He's gonna bully (affectionate) John for his emotionally stunted sulk.

Nik is hugging, squishing, nuzzling and smooching that grumpy wanker - "oh, solnyshko, so moody, do you want a hug? Some fuss? Lots of kisses, pochemu ty takoy serdityy, detka? Mwah mwah" - into oblivion.

All that Russian swagger, smooth talking and open affection; he doesn't give a shit, he's going all out. He's bigger, means he can blanket John, cage him in, trap him in the sofa or against the kitchen counter, hands somehow everywhere at once, until John is either squirming and cackling, or relents and talks about it.

With someone as mulishly stubborn as Captain Price, only Full Nikolai will suffice.

consider,,,a lucanis who is in love with emmrich, a spite who is in love with rook, a rook in love with emmrich, and emmrich who is in love with all three but wants lucanis, spite, and rook to get together because he feels he is not the type of man any of them deserve...

bonus points for spite being the one to realize just what sort of love quadrilateral is going on and is the one to get them all together.

Call me homophobic, but I don't actually think it's great representation to stick a complex, dynamic, newly-realized bisexual character permanently with a flat, boring, underdeveloped love interest just because that was the first guy who showed interest.

not attaching it to the poll so I don't rain on the parade for Xanthe fans- but if you want a story where magic respects a character's transness, then might I recommend Dreamer/ Nia Nal (from cw Supergirl)?

I get that Nia's kind of got the reputation for being bland and boring since she had to pave the way for trans superhero representation on tv, but her story actually engages with how her family's magic system created a rift between her sister and herself- where coming to her own as a superhero caused conflict with her family. One of the few plot points that made Nia really interesting.

The part where Nia makes herself smaller so that her sister can inherit powers she feels she's entitled to as a cis girl? That's genuinely a great way of allegorizing uncomfy trans feelings through the superhero genre. This resonates with me way more than talisman shenanigans at the family dinner after being dead for 15 years. Seriously give Nia a shot. Her graphic novel is written by the trans actress who plays as her on Supergirl.

I wonder what the overlap between people who seem genuinely excited for Bell’s Hells to go to Vasselheim and reveal that they have Predathos in order to chase away the gods, and people who think the Rat Grinders in Fantasy High: Junior Year were done incredibly dirty by the Intrepid Heroes is.

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

What if I made some super dope fanarts with like, proverbs on them?

Like this sorta. Like a top text bottom text meme but all edgy and cool. What then? Could the world handle it?

I was checking the Ulmo-Turgon dialogue about Gondolin and I noticed that Ulmo refers to Melkor as "Melkor" (not "Morgoth").

This is very kind of Ulmo.

I wonder if that's really intentional, or just a result of compling multiple versions of the text. Do we have other instances of the Valar directly talking about him post-Darkening? If so, what nname do they use?

Do you guys remember the first time you read/watched Harry Potter and thought Snape was responsible for everything only to be hit in the stomach when you found out alongside the characters it was Quirrell all along?

Do you remember reading about Sirius Black escaping jail and wanting to murder Harry and do you remember being ready to throw hands at him? And then do you remember that sinking feeling when you realized he’d been wrongfully imprisoned for twelve years and was painted as the guilty one when it was Peter all along?

Do you remember hearing about the death eater Regulus Black, following in Voldemorts’ footsteps only to be hit with the crushing truth later, that he’d betrayed him and died doing so and no one knew about it and you had, yet again, judged him too harshly?

Do you remember hating Draco and progressively coming to understand the circumstances that led him to that?

Do you remember loving Dumbledore and realizing suddenly how badly he wronged Harry?

Do you ever think about those moments, and how we all judged those characters and fell into the easy trap? Time and time again? How easy it was to gulp down one version and not realize how biased it was?

I feel like if there’s one thing those books taught me it was to never get along with one version of a story. You can’t hear one side and admit it’s the final truth. You can’t judge someone through one lens and not admit it’s skewed. You can’t erase circumstances. You can’t shut out the other side of a story because one is sufficient for you.

If you want to crucify someone for something they did, remember all those times you were ready to crucify Snape, Sirius, Regulus, Draco and so on.

I’m not against holding people accountable for their actions, but I don’t want to get that sinking feeling of guilt that I had with characters on real human beings. And it is inhuman to hold one thing against someone’s head forever—especially when you don’t know the whole story.

We all make mistakes, we all fuck up, and we also, all have our own truth. And we’re also all capable of empathy towards others. 🖤

God knows I hate jkr with a passion but fuck if I love the message that was spread through those arcs.

i cried because of carlos leaving ferrari.

i didn't cry because of him leaving ferrari essentially. i cried because he loved them so much, he gave his everything to the team, and they paid it back to him by leaving him, stranded and lost.

i cried because he loved them, but they didn't deserve him. he loved them. he loves them.

but mclaren will always be his home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM CLARK [4TH MARCH 1936]

“He was a gentleman and a gentle man. It’s a pity he’s not around now because… It’d be nice to have him.“ - Billy Cowe, Team Lotus mechanic

“Which person would you respect more? A man strumming the guitar in a bar for 200 a night, working a second job to keep himself fed. Or a man who’s playing the guitar that same night, same town who’s sold out a whole stadium?”

“Well that depends. Which one is your step son?”

“That has nothing to do-“

“Yes it does. Which one is your step kid who’s working his ass off to get paid for the thing he loves and is still slaving away trying to make a better life for himself? Which one is in desperate need for a support system that understands and supports his skill and values his hard work? Which one do you have the power to demotivate at your hearts content? Would you go to his performance at the club and yell BOOOO YOURE NOT AS GOOD AS ‘PERSON B’!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET PAID ENOUGH BECAUSE YOURE NOT GOOD!! YOU’RE NOTHING!! And that man still goes to the club. Still plays so hard and for so long he makes himself sick. Still pays his bills and consistently works to better his own life. And sits through your screaming and petulant passive aggressive comments during his entire set and then goes home to hear you say it all over again at dinner? Works while you lie and belittle him on the phone with your friends and real children while he’s in the room? And when he finally goes to bed, he gets up at 6 am to start working and you get up at 9 and start all over again? Which would YOU respect more?”

now spitting mad, “THE ONE SELLING STADIUMS!!!”

“….okay.”
