#it'll suck if it does

I gave in and bought teeny curlers for my hair

More for convenience sake than anything else, it takes too long any other way I'm willing to do

Plus I can put the cutlers in while my hair is somewhat wet unlike b4

I need everyone upset about Liam's promotion to understand that it had nothing to do with him being better/worse than Yuki. Yuki outperformed him. Yuki deserved the chance. BUT Yuki is not a Redbull driver. He is a Honda driver. He has no loyalty to Redbull and that is why he did not get a chance next to Max. It's not that he didn't deserve it. It's pure business.

Redbull are ending their relationship with Honda. They are creating their own engines. It's likely seen as a big liability to Redbull to have Yuki actively involved in any tests or even near anything involving the 2026 engine.

This is not an attack on Yuki or his character or anything like that, so please do not take it that way. But, Yuki's loyalty to a different engine manufacturer is a major risk to any new manufacturer like the Ford/Redbull powertrain. You just never know. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a good drive, but Yuki's loyalty will forever be to Honda (as it should) and that poses a lot of risks for Redbull.

Once again, I am not commenting on Yuki's character or making assumptions about him when I say this, but there are a lot of big concerns if he gets promoted. He could ditch them for Aston immediately because Honda asks, he could share information about the new engine to Honda, or he could give questionable feedback that negatively impacts the new powertrain. Maybe he wouldn't do these things. But if there's even the most miniscule potential that he could, it would make any team hesitant. F1 is rampant with cheating allegations and questionable tactics to win. The teams will want to protect themselves in any eventuality. And that is what's working against Yuki so greatly.

Yuki has proven to be a very competent driver over the past year, but let's not forget that he nearly lost his seat in 2023 and the rumored reason he stayed is due to Honda. He owes his career to Honda, not Redbull. And at the end of the day, that's his main flaw within this team. It's not his driving. It's not his temper. It's not anything else. It's purely who he is aligned to poltically in the racing world. Is that fair? No. Is that how racing works? Unfortunately, yes.

alright hold on hold on hold on we're doing 3am gender thinking again

so the initial idea of my views on gender that occurred to me at 5am last time in what was probably a manic episode is fuck gender I can't fit the boxes expected of me so I'll dismantle the whole system and do my own thing

so problem is I can't do that, I can't dismantle the whole system and go my own way because I am entirely dependent on the sex and gender systems we have in place and how other people view sex and gender

additionally the idea that gender itself is the outdated stereotypical system is flawed, gender is the way a person feels and we've made categories and boxes to describe incredibly complex feelings

the problem is the more specific a gender gets, the smaller that box gets, the more people are excluded from that box so the solution is another box that fits better or make their own like with neogenders

the solution is a line of gender boxes like hermit crabs...

the fun part about thinking of gender and stuff is that I personally believe that every single person on earth experiences gender and life differently from every other person, even if only slightly

so theoretically if every person on earth were to describe their gender outlook and gender experiences and form a gender identity from that, then there could theoretically be 8 billion god damn genders

the solution is more genders

the solution is running Doom (1993) on my fucking gender

I'm going to draw Taffy ship art tomorrow solely out of spite.

And perhaps post it in the server.

If I'm feeling extra petty.

friday, august 11 day 5: Benji gets Ethan to watch something geeky/nerdy (@benthan-week-forever)

Ethan and Benji found themselves cuddled up on a soft sofa, enjoying a quiet evening together.

The room was dimly lit, and the only source of illumination came from the glow of the television screen.

They had decided to watch an episode of Star Trek, a show that Benji was particularly fond of.

As the opening credits rolled, Benji couldn't help but share his excitement with the older one. He began explaining the intricate details of the technology featured in the show, his voice filled with passion and enthusiasm. Ethan listened intently, his eyes fixed on his partner’s face. He had a soft look, a mixture of adoration and contentment, as he soaked in every word that the blonde spoke.

In that moment, Ethan realized just how deeply he was in love with Benji.

It wasn't just the physical attraction or the shared adventures they had experienced together. It was the simple joy of being in each other's presence, of feeling the warmth of their bodies pressed against one another on the sofa, and of witnessing the genuine excitement in Benji's eyes as he talked about something he loved.

As the episode progressed, Ethan couldn't help but steal glances at Benji.

He marveled at the way his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, the way his hands gestured animatedly as he explained the intricacies of warp drives and transporters. It was in these moments that he realized just how much Benji meant to him.

They had been through so much together, facing danger and uncertainty at every turn. But in that quiet moment, cuddled up on the sofa, Ethan knew that he had found something truly special. Benji was not just his partner in missions; he was his lover, his confidant, and his best friend.

As the episode came to an end, Ethan leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on Benji's forehead. "Thank you for sharing this with me," he whispered, his voice filled with love and gratitude. The younger one smiled, his eyes shining with affection. "Anytime, Ethan."

And so, they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, basking in the warmth of their love and the glow of the television screen. In that small apartment, Ethan and Benji found solace and happiness in each other, cherishing the simple joys of cuddling on a sofa and watching Star Trek together.

Winter is suddenly here, a month late! We had a wicked snowstorm last night, and today it's bitter cold and SO absurdly windy. Our big trashcans keep tipping over despite being full, and the house is just filled with the sound of the gusts blowing snow around. I opened the door and got blasted in the face so hard I couldn't breathe

on the negative side, I'm never drinking caffinated tea ever again because it apparently makes me manic. That's especially sad because I found that out after drinking delicious tea I'll never be able to drink again and by becoming manic (i.e. the hard way)

on the plus side, I wasn't manic before I drank caffeine! and I probably won't be come tomorrow afternoon thank fuck. It's so unpleasant. So, so uncomfortable. I'm already starting to come down I think. It's hard to tell.

but yeah otherwise getting tea with my friends was nice. It was kind of magical to do a tea tasting, it's just too bad that- well. Can't drink alcohol. Can't drink coffee. Can't even drink tea either. They need to invent some kind of chocolate milk tasting or something for me personally so I don't feel like a sad wet dog about the situation.

Another thing I noticed (while also doing a quick confirmation peek at VLR): some sound effects stick around with Uchikoshi across his games - like the save sound effect - that act almost like his signature. That's hype.

I even noticed while browsing the files for VLR's sound effects

"SE_COM_GAME_ON.wav" is also used in AITSF when getting pages for the Dream Album. That is so sick.
