THE STRANGEST PODIUM EVER?

JAMES HUNT and CARLOS REUTEMANN finish 1st and 2nd at the 1977 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX respectively. However, after the race ended, they were nowhere to be seen as they had quickly left the circuit to catch a flight home. This just left 3rd place man PATRICK DEPAILLER and his engineer to carry out the celebration. Rules were changed to make the podium celebration mandatory shortly thereafter.

The Lady Is Super Bad: Foxy Brown Is the Original Female Action Hero

Content warning: Foxy Brown contains racial slurs, homophobic slurs, gratuitous violence (including gun violence), sexual assault (on-screen), rape (off-screen) human trafficking, drug use and mentions of drug sales, and castration. It’s a fun movie to watch though, so viewer discretion is advised but I would still recommend it. Spoilers for Foxy Brown ahead! When the Blaxploitation genre…

is it cringe to admit i'm genuinely excited for the wicked movie

[sanguine-fangs]

Yeah, sure, sex is great and all, but have y'all ever tried being lounged on by a guard dog who's stronger and meaner than you? Serving as a weighted blanket, casually pinning you down beneath them under the guise of cuddling whilst watching a show/video. Their hands roam wherever they please, just softly exploring your skin with their fingertips and nothing more. Their lips are even more explorative whenever they're not pressed firmly against your own: panting hot breaths into the crook of your neck, leaving bite marks and hickeys all over your throat and shoulders. They growl each time you shift, any attempt to move making them more handsy out of spite. Any whining only makes them chuckle at your helplessness and bite/claw at you harder. You're stuck there, helpless to move, and so deeply content to be dumb and teased and frot against another, bigger dog who loves to watch you squirm beneath them.

the true detective reddit is primarily full of haters but this post did make me laugh

[ducktracy]

AND YET ANOTHER PERSONAL POST even though i still need to respond to all the others i've made! but i just again wanna say THANK YOU YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME I LOVE YOU I'M HAPPY YOU'RE HERE. this has been such a very fun and gratifying few weeks of spreading the gospel of the pig 'n duck, getting to hear everyone's reactions and spread the dominos... i'm still overwhelmed and answering some birthday wishes that is INCREDIBLY SWEET WHAT ON EARTH!!!!!! and i've got some very exciting news that just reminds me like, hey, life is worth living and i do have friends and people like and appreciate me and want me around and people are not going to murder me because i'm not working on a review or haven't immediately been able to respond to a DM. my posting's definitely been more erratic lately with the pig and duck hype and i'm having to force myself back down into civilization a bit and pick up routine, but as someone who doesn't often let myself deviate from that routine i just wanted to say thank you!!! i still have a lot of asks and DMs and testimonies to catch up on, but thank you for the support and for being awesome 🙏 i genuinely have not felt this worry-free and able to just unabashedly post about my interests in years and years and years. yinz are awesome thank youuuu

*starts watching She-Hulk: Attorney at Law because she's one of my favorite characters in the comics despite seeing really bad reviews for the show*

I'm sure I'll only watch one episode if it's really as bad as people on the internet say.

*really enjoys the first episode*

Hmm. I guess it gets bad later?

*binge watches the entire rest of the season because each episode is a banger*

[cher-horowitz]

i know i run the risk of pissing off my favorite anon who came into my inbox to call me names BUT i'm seeing a lot of reviews for iwtv s2 that are basically just whining about the lack of lestat. i can only speak for myself, but as someone who LOVES lestat i did not think the season suffered because he was not there. i think those reviewers should open their minds a bit more. also, to my knowledge, no one has seen episodes 7 and 8, so who knows what could happen?

80 million sub-mediocre male fantasy harem anime and not a single one has had the guts to be bisexual yet. not even a crossdressing femboy? production studios really think most guys are more willing to fuck their own sisters than they are to fuck their male best friend in a skirt? get real

gonna read all of House of M this weekend i think

So Let Them Burn and the Tragic Power of Love

Content Warning: So Let Them Burn contains violence, depictions of colonization and imperialism, racism, discussions of vengeance, child soldiers, and teenagers making very questionable decisions. On the bright side, it’s a Jamaican-inspired fantasy with hints of dark academia that celebrates women’s rights (and, more importantly, women’s wrongs). 🙂 Reader discretion is not advised because I need…

Villainess anime reviews

went on a bit of a binge, so here's a compilation:

I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss

rating: lots of fun

one of the funnier entries on this list in my opinion, i actually laughed out loud multiple times

the protagonist is a capable and determined lady, as well as slightly unhinged which i always enjoy, i love weird women

breakneck pace, speedrunning like 3 games in the 12 episode, so it is the opposite of boring

this anime has everything: ducks, crows in bowties, crossdressing, ducks, video game brain rot, and ducks

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord

rating: at east somewhat interesting (still ongoing, episodes watched: 5)

aside from the gimmick a pretty standard isekai with pretty eh animation

a lot of this show is kinda boring, but there are still interesting and enjoyable moments

the protagonist is charming and probably the strongest part

i will probably be continuing to see what happens next so depending on that my opinion may change

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior

rating: charming

one of the series from this list that i enjoyed most, even if the story and the world are a bit simple, the characters and their struggles still work and aren't too difficult to get invested in

a bit more drama in this one, with tragic flashbacks (or whatever they're called if its abt an alternate plotline) that i found maybe a little too frequent

here the protagonist is also capable, driven, and quite traumatized, i wanna hold her in my hands like a baby bird

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

rating: cute!

the bisexual harem is a breath of fresh air

bakarina's dumbassery is a great source of comedy, she's also pretty lovable so the harem around her is believable. and i love a gal with a hobby

I'm in Love with the Villainess

rating: eh

kinda disappointed with this one, i was hoping for some fun gl story, but it could barely watch the first episode and had to force myself to try a few more in hopes it got better (it didnt)

the romance part felt more like harassment in those first episodes, and sure, ive read that it progresses further, but the protagonist didnt really endear herself to me with that

given the comedy tag on mal there were probably some jokes in it, i just couldn't identify many good ones

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!

rating: hell yeah! (still ongoing, episodes watched: 6)

the best one of all shows listed and the only one that's not an isekai

much more grounded, with good worldbuilding and another capable lady as the protagonist, but this one even more so, as well as much more mature

very pretty, even if i find some character designs questionable :v

definitely got me hooked and i will be watching more

I know this has nothing to do with jttw, but, I have seen people say that the game Black myth Wukong should not be bought because it is made by bad people. However, there are people who say that these rumors are malicious, with the intention of damaging the reputation of the game. Do you think you could investigate the matter? However, I will understand if it is too much to ask.

I don’t think I have time to investigate the matter myself honestly, but I have heard other people talk about how these rumors have been spread as well.

Mostly coming from the devs saying that they did not want DEI consultants and want to stick solely to the Xiyouji script rather than add/subtract any more content that might make the game marketable to a wider audience rather than being so focus on only Chinese mythology. Also that IGN might be exaggerating the story because of this stance and hence giving the game a bed rep on purpose. I am not familiar with gaming consumption or the relationships between game critics and developers. But I do hope that perhaps IGN did embellish a lot of these takes and that the game devs where trying to come from a place of wanting to keep the game Xiyouji focus rather than a place of any discrimination.

But I would love to hear what other people have to say and if there’s any links or reported conversations of how these rumors could have gotten started. I know a lot of people are looking forward to these games and I do hope that if more information comes to life then there can be a reasonable discussion.

oh allergies, I adore you 🥺

(I was looking through my drafts, and noticed I had made two very similar posts a year apart 😂 maybe I should make it an annual thing?)

Essentially, my nose in allergy season is the nose I want all year round! I’m so jealous of sensitive nose/all year allergy people.

Well, feels timely to share as my nose goes back to being boring 😝

2024:

“Some notably fun things to report from this allergy season so far:

I have become a red wine sneezer (!!)

I am more or less a morning sneezer now (I sneezed myself awake today).

I can’t drink ginger beer without triggering sneezes.

On a bad allergy day that becomes any sparkling drink.

I can often induce some stuck sneezes by rubbing the roof of my mouth with my tongue and can help stuck sneezes along by hitching or breathing slowly and purposefully.

On bad allergy days I can rub/press my nose the wrong way and trigger sneezes.

Inducing triggers FITS.

I’m much more sensitive to dust.”

2023:

(lol I was a lot more passionate this year)

“Ok ok, hear me out!

because I’m sick n tired of people not liking allergies more than colds.

Reason #10,000 that allergies are better.

During allergy season, my nose becomes x100 more sensitive, and trust me, I don’t have a sensitive nose. (I wouldn’t even sneeze from shaking pepper in my face normally)

Here’s a list of the weirdest things that have made me sneeze

The wind

Vaping

Rubbing my nose

Kissing someone

Drinking a fizzy drink

Grazing my tongue on the roof of my mouth

Like are you fkin joking me? What does a cold give you? A stuffy nose??? 😤

allergies are ELITE.”

see you next year 🤪
