Okay 3 things

1. I was thinking about an aroace Sonic who says things that can be taken as wildly flirty/romantic but he just means them genuinely. “You have beautiful eyes, I keep getting distracted while looking at them,” not cause he’s interested romantically in them but because eyes can be really cool and pretty man I dunno what to tell you he likes looking at cool things and he thinks his friends are neat. “You’re the most beautiful person here,” because he really thinks that, he loves his friends

2. Sonic randomly dropping heartfelt genuine comments on his friends out of the blue completely blindsiding them and then moves on like nothing happened while they’re left going ?????? Bonus points if he does something immensely stupid or jerkish just before or immediately afterwards and they can’t tell if he was serious or not with the compliment (yes he was)

3. Sonic usually being so allergic to truly vulnerable moments that when he expresses something heartfelt randomly Tails thinks he’s been stabbed or something and does not believe him when he reassures him that he’s fine he’s fine he’s not dying yeesh

“Jean passenger princess” WRONG. Do u honestly think Jeremy’s going to take that damn car ever again after he learns Jean can drive that damn bike lmao

[adamsrcnan]

really need jean to have a flirty moment with a random girl on campus and for jeremy to be standing right there. and when she leaves he'll turn to jean and say (with the fakest smile known to man) "she's pretty". jean will stare after her for a long second then he'll turn to look at jeremy. and he'll stare for a loooong minute. at jeremy's eyes. at his freckles scattered all over his cheeks and nose. he'll look at his still too false smile and then he'll lift his hand and poke his finger into one of jeremy's dimples. jeremy's smile will falter. he'll swallow, so obviously nervous now at the feel of jean's finger on his skin. and only when jeremy's eyes and expression finally reflect how he actually feels in that moment. only then, will jean move his finger and say "i've seen prettier" before walking off

New life stage...

Asa and Ibrahim have aged into teens! Finally! New milestones, new jobs, and hopefully a new school in San Myshuno for Ibrahim. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Jean seeing how Jeremy and his pretty brown eyes search for him in every room.

Jean only seeing this because he’s already looking at Jeremy first because he’s been waiting for Jeremy to show up.

Jeremy looking for Jean before anyone else because he’s excited to see him again and also wants to make sure Jean is ok.

Them seeking each other out and immediately going to each other’s side once they’ve found each other. On the court or at home.

Jean and Jeremy wanting every part of the other but only allowing themselves fleeting looks and domesticity.

Friendship in the place of what should be so much more. Even though they deserve more.

i feel like we’ve seen the start of jeremy’s long awaited crash out now. we’ve seen the start of his unsustainable habits — with jean explicitly thinking that there’s no way jeremy can keep up his routine the way he’s going, “he would surely be a ghost by the time championships started.”

jeremy’s family is broken, he’s dealing with a lot of grief and emotional hurt that he basically just pushes down (not unlike the way jean copes), he’s got an insane amount of responsibilities — between being the trojan’s captain, trying to help his friends with losing their home, trying to be there for jean, as well as study for his law exams, not even detailing the requirements of exy practices. in tgr we can see how he survives it all, relying on copious amounts of coffee to get through and still jeremy is passing out pretty much every and any moment he has the chance to rest.

i expect in tsc3 we’ll see the consequences of this come up finally—jeremy’s long due breakdown when the pressure understandably gets to be too much. i’m interested to see how it plays out, how jeremy and jean can help each other. what i do know for sure is that whatever happens next, their little found family will be there for each other through it all.

how come no one in aftg is a good driver

"[Andrew] pulled at the wheel, sliding the car from one lane to the other without bothering to check the traffic around him. Horns blared behind them. Neil watched in the rearview mirror how cars swerved to avoid hitting them." (tfc p19)

"As soon as Andrew yanked his door shut Nicky peeled out of there like he wanted to take the asphalt with him." (tfc p105)

"the car swerved to the sound of too many horns as Jeremy briefly lost control of the wheel. Jean came back to himself with a sickening lurch as Jeremy tried to find his lane again. [...] In his peripheral vision Jeremy was waving hurried apologies out his window at the car he'd nearly sideswiped." (tsc p128)

though these three characters do have something in common...

jeremy knox is the type of guy to blast cupcakke remix’s or pitbull or something when he’s on the verge of an absolute breakdown so he can repress it and keep it together.

[beedragony]

The night was a fractured mess, but parts of it were clear enough to cut. The dizzying rush of an overdue high, the harsh taste of scotch on Dexter’s lips, the weight of too many hands looking for a little release and comfort. Equally sharp: skinning his knees on the rough carpet when a cop hauled him out of bed, the bruising pressure of a boot on his spine to keep him down, the pinch of handcuffs snapped too tight.

dead poets society driving headcanons but they're all terrible drivers

(and if they also all lived somewhere with similar roads to where i learned how to drive bc i can be more specific that way. also im not a car guy so all the cars are from real people i've met)

inspired by me learning to drive and being bad at it

neil: drives a stick shift and isn't very good at it. he saved up money working to buy a shitty corolla from probably just some guy and was like yeah i can totally drive a stick lol how hard can it be when asked about that. the guy was like uhh probably pretty hard standard shift is famously not easy to learn. and he was like itll be fine dont worry about it. every time he switches gears it feels like the car is falling apart. he has gotten stuck trying to start the car stopped on a slight uphill incline for like 10 minutes multiple times. half the time when he starts the car he does it way too fast, and he constantly kills it when coming to a full stop. he once flipped his car over when going down a windy road. he is very attached to his car despite this, named it something like gertrude. its constantly full of shit and has a ton of doodads hanging from the rearview mirror

todd: will not drive above 25 mph unless he absolutely has to when around other cars. always takes backroads if he can because he is terrified of the freeway. hell drive at the speed limit on the highway but is gripping the steering wheel for his life the whole time. at the same time drives mountain roads where theres no cars at full speed. goes through windy roads barely braking. scares the shit out of everyone in the car. never comes close to crashing despite everyone thinking they're gonna die. he drives a tiny hatchback that probably used to belong to jeff. hes the only one trusted with neils car despite not knowing how to drive stick

charlie: constantly driving over the speed limit, not looking where hes going, blasting music so loud you cant think. hes always like. i dont understand why everyone is scared to drive with me lolll and then goes 90 in a 25. for some reason. his parents bought him a jeep gladiator

knox: knox is constantly getting lost. has absoutely no sense of direction. will get lost on roads he has been on his whole life. he also forgets to use his turn signal constantly. insists on never looking at a map despite having no clue where he is for as long as possible. it is infuriating to everyone else in the car.

cam: drives a mini van. would be a decent driver if he knew how to come to a gradual stop. unfortunately he just slams the brakes like 75% of the time. he drives with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes which does not help. he is usually the main one driving the poets places when they're in a group since he has the most seats. when they have more than 7 someone always wants to sit in the trunk, which cam is vehemently against. he's generally just very tense while driving.

pitts + meeks: pitts drives an old truck, a smaller one that only has jump seats in the back. meeks doesnt have a license so pitts drives him everywhere. because of this if anyone wants pitts to drive them anywhere they either have to take the jump seat or sit in the bed cause meeks automatically gets the passenger seat. as far as everything else goes pitts is ok ish at driving, if kind of jerky, it mostly just sucks to get a ride from him cause he doesn't really have any room. meeks doesn't really want to get a license for several reasons and since he is conveniently always with pitts he has decided he just won't for as long as possible. ideally he never will, and will just use public transit if pitts isn't there.

Do y’all think Jeremy would drive one of those cyber trucks?

[laurents-laces]

“You are not them,” Jean said. “Kevin would not have sent me here if you were.”

Jeremy was quiet for so long Jean finally had to look at him. He wasn’t sure what to make of the look on the other man’s face. It wasn’t wounded, but there was still an undercurrent of pain. Jean didn’t know how to interpret it; no Raven had ever looked so gutted. He tipped his head in silent question, but Jeremy only looked away.

When I read this part I figured it couldn't be guilt that Jeremy was feeling because Jean has seen Kevin look guilty plenty of times. The way people look at him when he's hurt is usually "uncomfortable" (Zane), "tired" (Thea), or with "bottomless guilt" (Kevin). Neil, Wymack, and Renee get angry but they aren't shocked at all because they're so used to seeing violence and abuse.

So what would be new to Jean would be the reaction of someone who isn't desensitized to that kind of abuse. The pain in Jeremy's expression is unfamiliar because this level of cruelty is shocking and heartbreaking to him in a way that it isn't to anyone else in Jean's life. Or at least that was my first impression.

I'm not 100% sure about that, but Jeremy's happy reaction to being trusted in other parts of the book makes me think it probably isn't guilt:

“You are the captain of the sunshine court. In no universe could you be anyone’s villain.”

That unhesitating trust warmed him all the way through, but all Jeremy said was, “Technically it’s the Gold Court.”

But apparently I interpreted this in a completely different way than everyone else seems to be taking it so I have to ask:
