#i love this stupid sport

[hotmessmaxpress]

I love Reb Bull so much because they do the craziest shit and I KNOW I’d hate them if I didn’t love them. If I was a fan of any other team I’d be foaming at the mouth over them.

Fixing Checo’s car and putting him back in the race when he’s 15 entire laps down just to avoid serving a penalty? I’d be SCREECHING. I’d be LOSING IT. I’d be handwriting letters and mailing them to the fia.

But I AM a Red Bull fan. I’m a Max fan, even, who is his own brand of Out Of Pocket in addition to RBR. So instead of screaming in anger I have the pleasure of staring, jaw dropped, praising certified dilf Jonathan Wheatley for once again showing up to serve absolute cunt against the fia. There’s nothing more fun than seeing what this team comes up with next.

“ThIs SeAsON is So BoRInG” no it’s not. It’s absolutely ridiculous because this sport is ridiculous. One driver consistently winning doesn’t make this sport any less stupid or any less fun to watch.

It's just the best sport to watch. The way the blood pools on the ice. And allll the gay.

the h in nhl stands for homoerotic

(elden ring DLC spoilers)

i fucking love Radahn so much, what i wouldnt give to meet ACTUAL him, he just gets toyed with and exploited so cruelly, you never really get to know him or what he wants im hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so normal :)

like i know theres little to go by with typical fromsoft lore and stuff but agreeing to marry miquelly feels so ... not radahn like, why would he have fought malenia and then even after gettign the rot refuse to die if he wanted that .... also didnt he believe in the golden order?? miquella wanted to replace it basically????-

even his 'new' design feels like some idealized version of him that miquella dreamed up, theres significant differences in whats left of radahn in the main game and i feel like even that is an important detail (the braids ... i braids are IMPORTANT IM TELLING YOU-) like it .... to some degrees looks ..almost cheap, like an action figure (what the hell are all those sword things on his belt?? he has his two giant blades that dont go in that??? he would never use a different one?? whats it doing here??) (also the fact that leonard is missing .... like sure we like to over emphasize some character quirks but i also feel like thats and important thing- leonard clearly meant alot to him and he had him still with him when he was fighting malenia and stayed together even after rotting away)

what really REALLY makes me so very "normal" about everything is that radahn remains voiceless and has no say in anythign the entire time we meet him, hes either a zombie or a literally flesh puppet constructed by his own half brother (out of another family member, which clearly shows bc hes using blood magic and got horns growing)- aside from very few quotes on some items we never get to know him, we dont know what he wanted, he gets dragged into this and is then like some animated statue, theres no emotion in his face, even less sound he makes when fighting, even, in my opinion, his animation in the final DLC fight seem OFF to me- it looks stiff how hes moving whenever hes not actively attacking

(also miquella and what he wants is constantly talked about, but while its all about radahn in a way . we never hear anything from radahns side, its never even questioned. as far as i know, like !!!!! argh!!!)

(edit: also also the fact that in this puppet version of the design changes arent just the armor, his skin is different color too, even in the trailer when he fights malenia- BEFORE the rot- he seemed sort of ashy- greyish dark, even if hard to tell with color tint- his hair much longer in og now much shorter and in braids, his armor less practical and more show offy, he doesnt have a bow, even his swords look different, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY his weird anatomy he seems to have in og that i think is from renalla is gone too- AND yes i know his body is constructed from moghs there- which makes this all so much worse bc almost all that was him is stripped away and twisted into what miquella wants from him, second phase its almost all light attacks tooo- ok im stopping this now)

i know it might seem like im just making excuses bc i cant handle my favorite character agreeing to marry his own half brother- BUT I DONT CARE- HE DIDNT WANT IT- WE DONT KNOW WHAT HE WANTS- WE NEVER GET TO ASK HIM- HE NEVER GETS TO SPEAK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASDJKBHKFJBGSKBVGFHDKBFKABKBA

Fighting tooth and nail to not fall for franco colapinto cause f1 is stupid and unfair and we can't keep him 😭🤚

[andresmounts2]

I feel like dramatically falling to the ground & raising my arms up to curse the sky every time AAVE & queer slang makes it way to the general public.

Like y'all hate us so much, but will say "pop off, slay, tea, pookie, boo, etc" in a heartbeat. No, go back to hating us and calling us slurs because our culture isn't some plaything for y'all to destroy in 2 weeks then move onto the next term.

...how many masters has the Scoundrel actually like, talked to, like a full conversation

counting RP adventures, a good handful. honestly they've probably realistically talked to all of them (sans the obvious exceptions of mirrors and The Other One™) because they're mr cards and lord knows they make a habit of involving themself in masterly business (especially if the other bats don't actually want anything to do with them)

[sireington]

what if: Wii Sports but manga structured with some similarity to the Splatoon manga?

Seems like a good idea, so I'll start spouting thoughts.

Over the white hot sand and cool blues, violets, and cyans of the waves, sits Wuhu Island! A tropical paradise with plenty of activities to do! Priding itself on its numerous sporting events and competitions, the greatest of the greatest come to Wuhu for the yearly tournaments. Here we meet our protagonist, an aspring athlete in hopes of becoming champion, it's...

Basic Mii guy! Along the way he'll make friends, make bonds, and defeat greater foes! Maybe even beating...

MATT, THE UNDEFEATED

anyways, that's all I got for now under a few minutes, feel free to add on to the ideas! Have a nice day!

frances tiafoe speaks about diversity in tennis

[transcript:

it's huge, man. it's huge. i mean, and it's such a domino effect. i mean, you see what chris eubanks did at wimbledon. like i mean, guys like that, that only helps the game. you're having guys that would have never watched tennis ever tap in because a person of color is playing. diversity in sport is huge, especially in a predominantly white sport. and people doing it with swag, right? so people thinking the game is cool and 'i can actually do this'. so it means a lot to me. seeing a guy like him go for a run, it means a lot to me. for the game i love, you know, we need more of that for us, for the game to move forward.

Tag game! I was tagged by both @sugarysins and @swordbisexual! Thank you both! Sorry it took me a bit to get to this!

Last song: Mordemoth by Lena Raine, best boss music soundtrack <3

Favorite color: Most of the year? Reds or blues, but right now? Burnt orange.

Currently reading: Oh, jeez. Not to out myself as incredibly boring and an absolute killjoy, but I'm in the middle of "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety", by Eric Schlosser. It's a very interesting read about the evolution, politics, and inherent danger in nuclear doctrine.

Currently watching: At this moment I'm watching the Miami/Florida game. Recorded it since I didn't catch it live.

Last movie: Klaus, I think? Such a good movie.

Sweet, spicy or savory: Savory. Savory and a bit of spice, preferably, but savory my beloved.

Relationship status: Single and vibin.

Current obsession: It's (american) football season, babes. I've got the deep mascot lore and I'm ready to watch a season of petty rivalries and schadenfreude, and I hope my rival teams lose every game <3

Hook 'em!

Tea or coffee: Coffee, but like... I'm the peppermint mocha type.

Last thing I googled: "wow fastest way to level 1-60" lol. back on that brainrot, too. lord help me.

Tagging, uh, @fenrisisms, @midnight-octopus, @aurata-luna, @wilchur, and whomever sees this and wants to hop in!

Everytime people discuss who should be in the leadership group and start writing fanfiction about how Mitch doesn't deserve anything and doesn't do anything for the leafs, actually, I just think about this article and wonder how we got here. I think he could be captain- I actually think he could be a great one. But I guess we'll never know https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/2469915/2021/03/25/mitch-marner-ohl-season/

reading that just made me so fucking emotional. i honestly think it would translate into great captaincy in the nhl too... he just happens to be on a team with auston matthews, so i get WHY it's like this (still.. if there was ever a modern case for co-captains but. too late now ig) but. i hate to say it's not the right market bc it's not his fault that this market is so fucking volatile and stupid so often, lmfao. like. he says things the same as anyone and i'll firmly defend that to death. i hate when people say even lovingly 'no he shouldnt do that' or 'i wish hed stop talking to them' like no, fuck you, lol. it's the temperament in toronto that's the fucking issue and more people should be seriosuly talking abt it and calling it out in the main journalists so they can be shamed and maybe learn responsibility. it's stripping so many of our players and staff from ever letting an ounce of personality or anything personal show whatsoever. it makes it so much less fun and WAY less marketable. it's just obnoxious to me, but mitch marner is someone who has SO MUCH leadership presence too.... like in 22-23 when HE was this team's mvp and the team was coming together to try to make stuff happen for him???? it echoes auston's chase for 70 so much. there's that other great article from a couple yrs ago abt mitch and auston and their personality differences but how both are leading the team and it's just so true. they're natural born leaders but even more than that, their work ethic and accountability to themselves is insane, you can just see it. i'm so sad we live with this era of social media as leaf fans sometimes bc it's genuinely so hostile and obnoxious to try to participate in, lol. mitch can be loud and knows how to point out when stuffs wrong and wants to work to fix it and hold ppl accountable. but on the same hand, he also wants everyone to feel like THEY can talk if they need to and that they're welcome there and valued as people and that's just like. a beautiful personality trait to have. that locker room would not be half of what it is without him, idec, lmao.
