Getting off my moral high horse of “fuck Lithuania” for a second to seriously consider that Lithuanian aka EU citizenship offer

[nothingweirdhere]

honestly one of the greatest joys of speaking another language is surprising people who assume you can’t understand them xD

like i was in cadets yeah? and every summer i’d go stay on a military base for training, and ofc there’re people from all over the country there. so at one point a few guys in the flight as well as our officer are talking & they realize they all speak french so they switch languages right? 

well i was doing something nearby & lowkey eavesdropping—i would’ve joined in but i can’t hold a conversation at a fluent pace so i didn’t bother, but i was having fun trying to understand what they were saying—when the officer, who was usually very strict and proper, says “tabarnak,” which is basically the strongest curse word that exists in québécois (it literally means tabernacle, which is where the eucharist—the body and blood of christ—are stored in a catholic church, but is used kinda like the word fuck in english. all the strongest curse words in québec french are related to catholicism)

so i look at him with this huge exaggerated gasp & say “sir” in the most scandalized tone i can muster, and this poor man oh my god. he WHIPS AROUND to look at me with the most stricken expression on his face like “YOU SPEAK FRENCH?! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SOMETHING” and i just shrug and go “you didn’t ask”

it’s been years and i’m still laughing about it 💀💀💀

Tim Horton's comercial Idea

we open on a full plane and while comfortable, people are eager to get off, it's obvious they just had a LONG flight. neck pillows and sleepmasks and grouchy expressions everywhere.

the flight attendant starts speaking over the speaker: Welcome back to Canada, thank you for flying with us today, we will be unloading very shortly, we--

Passanger, off screen: Tell us what we want to know!

FA: the Tim Horton's is the first right past the stairs.

micheal buble's Feeling good (chariots of fire, waltz of the flowers, once there was a way (to get back home) or some like song) plays over the slowmotion chaos that is the pasangers scrabling to get off the plane. the FA are wavving them off happilly, very understanding. one is holding a tim's tumbler maybe.

a passenger in the back pauses as they passes them: thank you! sorry!

The passengers run down the hall, past the baggage claims, past oggling travelers, past some canadian celeberty --Sidney Crosby, with his bag and stick over a shoulder or something-- holding a Tim's cup, some other passenger sitting in a chair mid bite of a tim's wrap is watching them.

some confused european in the middle of the hall is trapped as this swarm of canadian travelers flow around them like the wilderbeast stampeed that killed mufassa, all in slowmotion ofcourse.

the stampede races up the stairs and the first man skids to a stop around a corner, his face alight with hevenly glow and full of love as his fellow passangers come up behind him with a simular reaction.

we flip to see that they're staring at the Tim Hortons in front of them, barista waitting and ready with a smile by the register. the music pauses, she puts a hot doubble doubble on the counter and looks up at the pasegers with a bright smile.

barista: Welcome back.

the final "i'm feeling... good" plays as the passengers relax, falling into line to place their orders.

the tim horton's logo and slogan "Canada's favourite coffee, always fresh" is printed across the screen as the scene finishes in the background.

yago what if tango and etho are somehow the last two standing, what do you think would happen are they gon be at each others throats or

statistically, there's only like.... a 0.04% chance of both of them making it to the end, considering how skilled and good at the game they both are... but if it were to happen...

god i don't know. this whole "tuff guys" situationship they got going on is honestly driving me a little crazy, because bdubs is over there like "etho, let's kill tango!", etho is in 10 different alliances simultaneously and let's be honest bdubs and tango aren't the strongest of the bunch, and tango is still for some reason trying to keep them together even if he knows it's gonna backfire. i am NOT normal about the whatever episode it was where tango was playing the leader, and his goals were to help each other survive and get kills? when originally they said that they shouldn't trust each other and that they should backstab each other if the opportunity presents itself??? and the other two are very clearly very ready to kill tango if they can????????? while tango is not doing anything about it and pretends that they're a functional team?????????????

so. if it was only tango and etho left. i feel like they're both very set on "doing what they're supposed to" in a way, so they'll both try to win and kill each other. i dont see them being all like "oh no we're allies we can't kill each other" because they were never really allies.

i think etho can be a bit ruthless at times, unintentionally or not. the moments from limited life come to mind, one where he kills skizz ("i just wish you were better at the game") and another where he kills joel ("you saved me, so now i can kill you"). so it's not new for him to kill people he was close with. and i dont think tango can be an exception... it takes a lot for etho to feel like he owes the victory to someone and that he should sacrifice himself for them. and tango sadly didn't earn his loyalty. (a point can be made that etho didn't want his loyalty to begin with, but im not gonna talk about it because im afraid ill have to fly to canada afterwards for unspecified reasons)

so. etho will most likely try to be the tough guy he always wanted to be, and he'll earnestly try to win and kill tango. "nice guys finish last" is a horrible way to phrase anything but i feel like at some point etho would say that.

tango however... tango has this thing where he kinda gives up at the end, because he doesn't deem himself skilled enough to win, so he just goofs around until he dies (did so in limited and secret lives, don't remember anything about others sadly). that's why it's so hard for him to be in the last two. i think he will be a little lost on what to do when it's only him and etho left, because there's no more room for messing around, this is serious suddenly, he either dies or he wins the series. that's a lot of pressure. but losing intentionally is not really an option, he has to at least try to win, to not be a total disappointment. and i mean, cmon now he can't lose to etho. etho did nothing to even make tango consider giving him the victory willingly, etho betrayed them.

maybe they'll make a little tuff circle to fight in <3

i doubt it though. there's not a whole lot of tension and drama between them to make them take their time to resolve it and give proper attention to their last fight. they'll probably just meet in a field somewhere and everything will happen too quickly and anticlimactically.

they both suck tho so idk who'd win :/

[transgenderer]

like at least once a week, for the past idk 6 months. i'll think about making a post where i (as a somewhat smug american) list some countries i think it makes sense to be smug about being from. this is a bad post idea but i just need to get it out of my system. maybe dont read this post.

countries it makes sense to be smug about being from (non-exhaustive):

america

china

france

greece

mexico

syria (i have to put this here or my syrian friend will kill me)

nigeria (this is a weird one but i think nigeria is ascendant)

russia

mongolia

countries it does NOT make sense to be smug about being from (non-exhaustive)

canada

germany

UK

if i list any majority non-white countries here this post will be unambiguously racist instead of ambiguously racist

japan is an edge case tho

oh man sorry koreans but korea. fail country

there are a LOT of edge cases. for example, spain.

[superm4ks]

I need Max to serve some cunt bc it's been wayyy too long. The last time he really served cunt was when he called George a dickhead but I need moree

😑😑😑😑 👍🏽 ok respectfully we love a good Baku cat fight but like

- excuse me

- literally the next race

- Checo was telling media both Max’s titles happened because of him somebody out there was floating Prost senna conversations people lost their whole minds like 😭😭

-first of all quali didn't even start great like he hadn't set a lap when it got red flagged kind of Amateur hour at rbr. last time u will c number 1 car go out late btw he’s fully traumatized these days he’s breaking front wings hauling ass out of that garage god bless him. Anyway p9 wid his hyped up teammate starting on pole the casuals were celebrating even tho max was doing like. borderline unthinkable laps in fp2 so u could smell a generational moment from the get go

-dude overtook like literally everybody on hards by like lap 15 i think and still had all four wheels somehow spinning faster than checos fresh mediums by lap 40

- Destroying ur teammates entire wdc campaign in a single race weekend on hard tires from p9 kinda cunty idk?. To me

- Ok fine then Monaco: Jeddah won the battle but he won the war. made up 2 tenths in one of the shortest sectors of the whole calendar in prolly one of the best and most competitive quali sessions in Monaco, ever. Senna type performance, just fully letting the talent take over rascasse and antony noghes. U cannot serve more cunt than that

- Non? Bon. Spain: black and white flag for track limits. His engineer tells him he’s stupid and Max is like 'whatvr what’s the fastest lap' and his engineer is like 'SORRY did u not hear what I just' and max steals fastest lap from Checo. Who btw had just set that on new softs for his flop lil point and Max leading by 24 seconds at risk of getting a pen wid gp warning him against it is like 😚😚😚😚😚bet . This isn’t cunt to u. Ok

- FINE. Canada: do I have to talk about senna again😐. Do I have to say he equaled sennas wins at 25 years old. But despite the Senna numbers it was also an eerily Schumacheresq quali session from Max. Taking pole by a second under the rain is something u c twice, maybe once in a lifetime, if ur lucky. We are lucky 🫵🏽

- Austria: u look at me rn and tell me Austria wasn’t the most 2021 max you’ve seen that mf since that actual season. U tell me he didn’t serve cunt nearly sending both Red Bulls to eat shit at the RED BULL ring because he was a lil annoyed checo dared to like. Squeeze him a lil bit. Nearly overtaken by an Haas i cannot stress this enough. Bro Lewis impeded him once by accident during practice and Max literally twerked in front of his car and got away wid it. And on top of that he gaslit rbr into letting him pit for softs and risk the whole race to take one single extra point like he wud rather fucking die than let anybody else have it. He’s beating merc in the THE FONSTRCUTORS CHAMPIONSHIP‼️‼️‼️‼️ HES 1 PERSON

- .

- Austria was such fucking prime Verstappen cunt delivry it was so dumb and all of it completely unnecessary and ur fucking telling me he hasn’t really ‘served’ because he doesn’t have some tall beans and toast bitch up in his face like

- Which obvi brings me to Silverstone: HE WON THE BRITISH GP HE literally won the British Grand Prix???? Half a million people praying on his downfall, mclaren having its own lil moment he doesn’t give a fuck 5 poles and 6 wins in a row on ur head fucking losers eat it. Eat ittt. 2023 has been nonstop cunt serving from this guy it’s literally one of thee greatest verstappen performances to date put some respect on it immediately . Thank u

How’s life in Canada?

America sucks and I’m exploring college transfer options

Cant speak outside of ON but our political climates a litttleee better. weather where I'm from is similar to northern USA I suppose, a little colder with our lakes. Maybe wait for our election to finish so you know if blue gets voted in cuz pierres very big on trump even tho he claims not to be, red's the goal and orange is the dream, mark carneys not so bad I guess.

Currently its hail storming and a little icy, but weather should warm by may. Our healthcares free but I cant comment on it bc Im literally not even apart of OHIP.. dentistry sucks ASS tho people go over the border to get it done in america cuz its cheaper. Our foods healthier I think? Or so I've been told, we've got more regulations. Culterally I dont think theres much different in Ontario but as you go further North or East it varies, Im also not sure as Ive never been to the states, Ive heard stuffs very different across the country which I believe because its huge and FULL. If ur southern you'll get a culture shock but if ur from like detroit you probably wont even notice it.

We're a melting pot, I mean, I assume America is aswell? Its very common to hear people speaking different languages just everywhere you go, you'd think this applys to french since its our second langauge but actually Ive never heard anyone speaking french in public. Idk its decently diverse where I am most of the time and I haven't known much different except for the small town I'm currently living in (I dont go to school or spend much time here tbh) with is like 85% old white retirees.

Sorry if this was a non-serious ask and I've just been ranting😭 what colleges are you lookin at?

[cherrari]

if I'm ranking charles circuits by performance would baku or monaco go on top?

melbourn, mexico would be on the lower end and abu dhabi silverstone would be pretty high, but I was thinking imola would be relatively high too even with 2022 bc that's an outlier when his pace there is generally very good

monza on the other hand is kind of mid for me bc while he's won there twice his pace there doesn't really stand out to me like it does in other tracks

vegas high singapore high qatar also

china mid japan mid

cota high he's good there miami also relatively high on the list

saudi mid? I don't rlly remember anything ab saudi tbh bahrain is pretty good tho but idk where it goes on the list

austria high spa high spain is also good I feel hungary solid canada no opinion

he doesn't really have tracks he's 'bad' at but compared to the standard I think he generally performs at there are some which have comparatively weaker showings like low grip etc

i think with a at least kind of we'll balanced car you can expect him to be up there at most tracks

I should make a list

any track where he's been beaten by his teammate more than two times = could be argued that it's bad (barring strategic or mechanical errors; e.g., silverstone would not fall under this category to me)

i would say his best tracks are monaco, silverstone, baku, austria, austin, and bahrain in no particular order. you could probably count ad and spa here too

for tracks like jeddah, spain, hungary, and miami i would say he's good but not necessarily outstanding

the tracks where i know he's less comfortable at are mexico, australia, monza, and suzuka. (maybe spain? idr) not that these are necessarily his worst tracks results-wise, i am aware he has won two of them lmao, they're just ones where he frequently (verbally) says something about the track was difficult for him

this is all relative ofc, like you say even on his "worst" tracks he's still perfectly competent. he's just more prone to being hyperaware of discomfort with the car when on them. which is probably more mentally taxing but rarely results in anything catastrophic

i don't think a sample size of two races is enough to say if he's good or bad at vegas

[captainlexaproluvr]

Quinn saying “I’m Quinn Hughes from Canton Michigan” in a new interview is just bonkers to me. Like he was born in Orlando. Spent his toddler years in New Hampshire. Lived his whole childhood 6-16 in Toronto. And the finally to Canton at 16. I don’t want to tell him he’s wrong, but is that REALLY where you’re from? The place you moved to at 16 for two years? I would say Toronto if I were him because that’s really where he grew up, went to school, and spent his formative years. Idk it’s funny to me he really rejects saying he’s from Canada lol.

anon i would like you to know that i literally tweeted these exact thoughts last night and then within 5 min you sent me this ask. boldy anon can confirm this bc i showed her and said wow anon get out of my BRAIN!!

it’s like… i get why it would be weird to say you’re from toronto when you’re not canadian (i still want to know what he has against canada tho). and i get that he lives in michigan during the off-season. but like… are you FROM the place you moved to in your late teen years - and only lived full-time for a couple years? idk perhaps it is up to interpretation or whatever but i do find it funny every time he says he’s from michigan. i also get it’s hard to pin yourself down to one place when you move around as much as they did. like i get not wanting to say orlando if he lived there for like 2 sec. i feel like he could say boston tho?? but again, they were only in boston for a couple years. (you said new hampshire but idk that they ever actually lived there. luke was born there and jim briefly coached there but i think they were still living in boston?? idk). but anyway, at that point just SAY YOU’RE FROM ALL OVER idfk 😭

TLDR: maybe quinn just wants a simple answer to give, which i guess i can understand. but yea idk every time he says he’s from michigan i’m like FRAUD ALERT 🚨🚨🚨

[tenthdocter]

For the ask game: 2, 5, 8, and 23 ☺️

2. If you didn’t have to worry about money or a job, where would you live in the world?

Idk i'm not really the type of person that wants to live in a different country tbh. But maybe somewhere cold like canada. Definitely not a hot country anyway

5. You only get 3 words to describe yourself – what are they?

Oh god I always find these sort of things hard to do but let's see...

1. Witty

2. Creative

3. Kinda funny?

(It was tempting to say some negative things but I gotta get better at self love lol)

8. What kind of extra-curricular activities did you do for fun in high school?

Umm I think the only one did was a creative writing club. I was the only dude there and the only one my year tho. So it was quite a solitary thing as I didn't know anyone there and it wasn't really the the kind of club to talk to other people tbh

23. You can have one superpower – and only one. What is it, and why did you pick it?

Oh easy! Teleportation! I just get way too impatient with transport and i'm a lazy fucker in general lol. So it's an easy decision for me. Plus I'd get to see all my long distance friends. Which would help with my loneliness

Thank you! 😃

ASK ME STUFF

[spaghett-onaplate]

Oscar my good fellow, does your house include a fan system? how do you stay cool in the summer?

We don't have any built in fans! There is an aircon system but this is a rental that has remained largely unchanged since the 70s so it does not work, probably has not ever worked during this century. Ok so granted all the following will be from anecdotal experience, but as far as I can see this is how other houses in the area operate:

Well apparently the ideal Australian house has a metre wide wraparound porch and awning to keep the heat out. Don't think I've ever seen a house meet this, inner city at least. More rural areas maybe? And that is where they'd need it more

So to keep cool in the summer my house has a lot of tabletop fans and a big fan on a floor stand. Also use wet washers on the back of our necks and just experience general suffering. Most houses aren't well insulated for the cold or the heat!! Even tho our winters aren't nearly as bad as many places, my brother's gf from Siberia and my family that moved between here and Canada find Australian winters unbearable compared to the Russian or Canadian winters just bc the houses are barely warmer than the outside!! Often in the morning it's colder inside than out

A lot of houses (from anecdotal experience I would say maybe half? most new houses would) do have aircon tho, which is enough to keep things cold or warm enough. By aircons I mean these ones, units rather than built in ones

But houses do have the inbuilt aircons too, the nonfunctional one in my house has vents in each room like this (in ceilings other than the tile ones pictured here tho)

It's not uncommon but I'd say not a massive amount of houses have them? I think newer builds would be more likely to have these ones. Tho idk all new houses kinda look the same like. Wait I remember a further out gross looking suburb I'll find it on Google maps

this is like, 2 hours out from the CBD?? a lot of developments are popping up further out as the city expands. cheap* and uglay housing it reminds me of the american suburbs tbh

anyway. that is mostly unrelated to aircon and fans. yeah i dont think we have thermostats? at least i've never seen anyone call it that but im assuming the built in aircons work like that. bc they do can do heat or cool temperatures

i did have one friend who lived in a big house that had all three - an aircon unit in the parents room, inbuilt aircon throughout the house, and fans in most/every room. never seen that anywhere else tho and i considered her to be pretty rich, plus i'm sure they did renovate to include some of those.

yeah overall to stay cool in the summer people without aircon kinda. don't. i miss my first house with its aircon unit </3

*cheap to build, expensive to buy.

1mil AUD for a house hours away from the inner city!! for a very soulless, gross, not particularly big (all those rooms look pretty tiny) house. our housing market is absolutely fucked

anyway yeah a lot of houses have aircon to help endure the summers and winters, a lot do not. prolly the same most countries? lmk how the US does compare tho

i think my second/previous house was better in summer than this current one bc it was an old (by our standards - 100 years?) house with double brick walls that somewhat kept the heat out, whereas this one isn't as old so the inner walls don't have brick. summer is a big blur of lying down with a fan constantly pointed at me with a wet washer on the back of my neck rip

How did you get into Fire Emblem? fe7, shared a cartridge with my brother i think. just seemed in our wheelhouse w nintendo being what we had at hand

What Fire Emblem games have you played? 6 & up... i think? no spinoffs other than i guess?? feh? up to like. book 4 or smth

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: fe7 and fe7. nostalgia bias strong

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! matthew, henry, azama, louis, and. hector ig? idk

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! matthew. perky lil thief with a side of heartache… 

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 past key thought claude was p handsome i suppose

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays? - Awakening: henry (100% still henry) - Fates: conquest- niles, birthright- azama, revelations- kaze. prob wouldnt change. - Three Houses: claude (prob felix in whatever next run i do) - Engage: louis/lapis (saved, finished one, went back for the other hahaha. maybe miss goldmary if i ever run again)

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? somewhat prickly, probably. also three of the guys i've written have canonically gone "Oho!" and another three i like w some overlap in there are the 'closed eyes' type so... whatever that means. In general tho: I like muses with whom I can explore aspects of human personality I wouldn't necessarily venture into on my own. (certain brands of conflict, responsibility, etc)

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could?  idk i think if i really wanted to write a kind of char i probably. would. but i guess the 'much more like Actually Super Intelligent than i can realistically pretend at' would be it i suppose

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? When you get to write characters with a shared history you've built together over time/across threads. When you can refer to past shared experiences, positive or negative... sobs. chefs kiss

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? A Hector near the end of his schooling arc might be neat (he's learned what he's came here for, he's ready to return to Ostia and do Uther and his people proud, and more competently than many mightve imagined at that) but. When that day comes he might really be actually going home soon lol.

Favorite TOA-related memories? lock and key jailbreak. bunker dead by daylight. unscripted both as a mod and as a player like. all of it. the first toa zine. the memes in all the discord pins (aka the laughs). really there's so much

Normal size text, small text, no preference? normal but again idc i am perpetually zoomed in on any given window anyhow

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 sometimes matthew pokes his head up but he'd have to kill sampo so :shrug: living blissfully in my lane. sometimes think a genuine villain might be fun to try tho
