In the middle of tryint to sleep one day this dialogue materialized itself to me

[br1ghtestlight]

love how bob seems to be completely out of it for this entire episode. like gene and tina are barely following along with linda and louise's insane reverse psychology game but bob is GONE like he's not present at the dinner table he isnt even part of the family. he just grumbles when linda tells him to but he isn't saying shit 😭😭

TINA AND GENE ARE SO SILLY IN THIS EPISODE LMAOO head empty zero thoughts. they are nothing more than pawns in louise's game

bob is correct for wanting to bribe them with candy that would literally work. like they are simple people

WHAT IF THEY TURN INTO LITTLE DELINQUENTS WHO DONT LISTEN TO AUTHORITY??? linda do you know who your kids are they are already WELL past that point especially louise. kinda funny that linda in this episode has the exact opposite viewpoint to how she was w/ louise in amelia. not a criticism of the episode its just ironic

BLACKMAIL

ARE YOU GONNA KILL US LMFAO

gene is SO BABY in this scene im gonna need to take screenshots later bcuz he is the smallest boy. in the world or maybe ever

back when we were children?? says the nine year old child

love how this episode is told through a bedtime story its very creative formatting and kinda unique feeling compared to the three story type of episode :)

MR FISCHOEDER APPEARANCE thank god we always need more fischoeder in our lives. i was worried we would have to wait weeks or even months to see him again

love big g. is that perhaps Grandma or Gloria

ZEKE AND JIMMY JR this is the big win for people who like seeing secondary characters. this episode already has more of them than like the Entirety of season 13 zeke and gene are so cute. their friendship is everything

THEY SEEM NICE TO ME AND LOVING I WANNA SAY AND WISE LIKE THEYVE GOT ALL THIS WISDOM TO PASS ON ABOUT LIFE AND THE WORLD 😭😭😭 lmao zeke saying that bob and linda are loving and kind is kinda sweet even though i know its technically bob and linda saying that about themselves. i do think zeke has a positive view of bob and linda Tbh

I DONT KNOW WHY I THOUGHY MR FISCHOEDER WAS GONNA SERIOUSLY SUGGEST TO USE REAL BULLETS mf just shoots a bunch of kids. i mean he would do that honestly

AWW BOB SPECIAL INTEREST MOMENT he likes cooking ^_^

LINDA ACTUALLY CRYING THIS IS GONNA BREAK MY HEART wtf i wasn't expecting this episode to actually get sad. what the hell </3 louise making her mom cry.....

"even though its really cool for moms to get angry and frustrated and cry in front of their kids"

this is weirdly reminding me of mother daughter lazor razor?? linda saying that she wished louise liked her and then louise saying wait you think i dont like you. their relationship is so weird and complicated but louise DOES love and respect linda and thinks she's really cool and fun!!! i wont hear otherwise idc

ONE OF OUR CHORES WAS TO LIGHT GRANDPAS CIGARS LIKE IN OUR MOUTHS??? LMAO WHAT THE FUCK LINDA why is this getting like weirdly serious is every episode gonna be like this now. are they just a little bit traumatic to watch every single time (also john roberts did A GREAT job voicing in this episode especially this ending scene)

MOSTLY BECAUSE OF TINA RIGHT AND GENE why did i literally start laughing loudly when she said that. god i love louise so much

aww they're babies <3 their relationship is the sweetest. you'll the toughest little cutie in prison

LIKE I SAID CANDY WAS LITERALLY THE SOLUTION those kids will do anything for some candy we all know this. we've seen the show before

GLORIA APPEARANCE i mean i dont like her but its been a few seasons since she was around. hello gloria is al dead

wait why does gloria have big ass badonkadonks..what who said that

aww the babies all asleep <3 little sweethearts

THIS EPISODE WAS SO FUN AND CUTE??? like genuinely a great episode that was heartfelt AND funny and had a really interesting story element to it as well. louise and linda episodes are always great and i love linda talking about how hard it is to raise good people and how much pressure is on them (and it makes sense that she would be more stressed about making them do chores vs bob because it was her mom who was pressuring her. big bob doesnt give a FUCK) a very fun start to hopefully a great season!!!!

Main Masterlist Word Count: 2.1k

Spencer wasn’t one to get angry about anything, disappointment or frustrations were the most extreme negative feelings that he normally felt towards someone that had wronged him. I was dreadfully afraid to see the look of disappointment on Spencer’s face.

We hadn’t been dating for long, only about three months of official dating. We also hadn’t gotten much further than a heated makeout session so he wouldn’t have seen any of the other piercings I had hidden under my shirt.

I had other piercings that weren’t visible to the naked eye that didn’t help quelling the fear that I felt. He had never taken off my shirt before as we had decided to go at a relatively slow pace in our relationship. I wondered in fear if he would also be disappointed with the barbells that were pierced through both of my nipples or- would he like them because they were not as prominent as the ring that was proud on my face.

I had said I’d meet him at his apartment to watch some Dr. Who and eat whatever take out we were feeling like that night. My nerves were lit with worry as I stood in the elevator after he had buzzed me up.

When he opened the door to his apartment to let me in I held my head slightly down as I walked in not wanting to have the conversation about the nose ring while I was in the hallway.

“Do you like it?” The words slipped out immediately when I turned to face him, not even letting him get a good look at me before speaking, my voice meek.

“Like what?” He was still confused, until I pointed to the ring that was pierced through my nose. “Oh- of course I love it!”

“Thanks, Spencer.” I fidgeted with my fingers a little still feeling nervous even though he had said he loved it.

“Why do you look so nervous?”

“I was afraid you wouldn’t like it.” My admission made Spencer frown and silence fell between us for a second while he pondered my words.

“I’d love any iteration of you.” There was no hesitation when he spoke. He always had such a way with words, including when he was ranting and of course his stuttering when he was embarrassed or nervous. His eyes were wide with adoration as if he’d never consider thinking you were anything less than gorgeous.

A rush of boldness came through me, wanting to show him what else I had hidden. My fingers danced along the hem of my shirt, maybe this was moving a bit faster than what we had spoken about earlier. But, I wanted to show him, to either let it lead to something more or to let him know what he was looking forward to when we made that step at a later date.

“Well- if you like this one I have another piercing that you might enjoy…” My voice was still holding a bit of tension, he may have liked the nose ring- but would he like the others?

When I pulled off my top his eyes went wide, his pupils expanding into black pools, he did not stop me. Then when my bra went off finally exposing the barbells that sat under my clothes everyday he was stunned speechless. I withered a bit under his gaze, fearing that my boldness had scared him. “I’m sorry if that was too much.”

He cut me off by speaking quickly, “N-not too much- just ummm- shocked??”

“Do you like them Spencer?” My confidence had returned a bit since he had confirmed that he did in fact, like them, but I still was holding back a bit.

When he gasped out a little ‘yes’ I decided to stop holding back, stepping closer towards him.

“You can touch them Spencer, that’s part of the reason why I got them.” I leaned in to press a soft ghost of a kiss to the shell of his ear making him shudder, I then whispered, “it makes them more- sensitive.”

A groan from deep in Spencer’s chest rose up quickly taking me by slight surprise. His large hands then rose up to finally palm my breasts, his hesitation had been whisked away by my words.

When he was no longer satisfied with palming my boobs he reached up with one hand to pinch my left nipple slightly. The slight sting sent a shock of pleasure down my spine in an instant, my panties dampening further in quick response.

A moment of silence passed, the tension suspended thick and heavy in the air before Spencer spoke, “Did you like that?”

I knew it was a rhetorical question, but I still answered with a slight whimper in my voice, “Yes!”

The confident smirk on his face was something I hadn’t seen much of from Spencer, but I was thoroughly enjoying it. He pinched them both this time- and much harder too. The moan I let out was almost pornographic which spurred Spencer on to continue to pinch them, rolling the buds between his fingers before pulling again.

When he moved forward to wrap his lips around one of my nipples I felt like I had gone to heaven. As he laid kisses all along my chest I couldn’t help but try to grind my hips up into him, however I couldn’t from the position I was in.

I was tired of not being able to touch Spencer in the way I wanted, I wanted to give him some pleasure too. I pulled his mouth off of me momentarily so I could push him down to sit on the couch to be able to straddle him properly. He had whined a bit in protest at first, but when my legs that were now stripped of their clothing slung over his lap his complaint died in his throat.

My core rested right over the prominent bulge in his slacks now. I smirked cheekily a little bit before grinding down onto him.

His lips captured my nipple again, this time the one that had been slightly neglected. This time he also decided to bite his teeth down slightly and nibble a little.

“Harder, please!” I gasped as I continued to rock my hips over his clothed cock. He thankfully obliged me by taking my perked nipple and slightly sawed it back and forth between his teeth. The pleasure that came through me from his actions far outweighed the pain, the moan that came falling from my lips was a sign of that.

A squeak then fell from my lips as I was suddenly lifted up and then set on my back. I guess he had gotten impatient from my teasing.

“You’re needy.” I commented with a smirk. He had been unbuttoning his pants when I spoke, but paused when the words came out of my mouth. He then pinned my hands above my head with one of his own and dipped the other between my folds.

“Who’s really the needy one here?” I definitely liked the little taste I was getting of this side of Spencer, that was firmly evident by the amount of slickness was evident on his fingers when he brought them up to my mouth. I wrapped my lips around his fingers eagerly before he could pull them away bobbing my head as much as I could in my constricted position pinned underneath him.

“Fuck-“ He swore which was another normally uncharacteristic thing for Spencer, it spoke to his own neediness. Though I could not make a remark about it as his fingers were still far down my throat.

When he removed his fingers he also lessened his grip on my hands that had been pinned. I wiggled out of his grip to help him get his slacks out of the way. I didn’t care if I was needy as he had said, I was tired of the teasing and my arousal was so prominent I could feel it dripping down my thighs.

He didn’t need any preparation either, his erection looking almost a little painful. ThoughI was more caught up with observing how beautiful he looked- which wouldn’t normally be the adjective someone would use, but it perfectly described Spencer’s cock.

He filled me slowly, letting me feel every vein and letting himself feel every ridge. After he filled me all the way to the hilt he stopped for a moment, just to relish in the feeling of being impatient. I however was too impatient.

“Please move, Spencerrrr…”

“And you say you’re not the needy one…” He commented with another smirk that was now becoming a staple on his face, I never wanted it to leave. I moved my own hips, squirming underneath him to try to coax him into moving.

When he finally obliged me by snapping his hips quickly up into me I couldn’t help but involuntarily make a desperate moan.

It wasn’t long until he had created a steady rhythm along with me. The pace we had set wasn’t rushed, but was still desperate in a way. His thrusts were deep and quick, but he always paused a minute moment at the end of each thrust to appreciate me fully.

Our hands couldn’t stop exploring each other while he kept up our pace. From the amount of time Spencer was lingering to play with my boobs you’d think he was obsessed, maybe he was just a little. He also made sure to pepper kisses all along my neck, jaw, and face. He even made an effort to kiss the tip of my nose, making everything much more sweet.

I however had decided to rest my hands on his hips and ass, sometimes pushing him forward slightly when I felt our pace faltering slightly. When he started to pick up the pace I could feel my pleasure starting to come to its peak. I was going to fall over the edge soon and fast.

“I’m gonna cum!” I gasped, almost so whispley that it was barely sensical. Spencer was able to still understand my words, pitching his hips to hit at my sweet spot more intensely. Then he moved his dexterous fingers down across my boobs pinching my nipple on last time before he spoke,

“Go ahead, I want you to cum for me.”

My hands wound their way into his hair trying to grasp onto something as my orgasm washed over me in waves of pleasure. Spencer too wasn't too far behind, his own triggered as my walls clamped down tightly around him. We rode out our highs together, our heavy breaths mingling in harmony as we started to come down.

Spencer’s gaze was still heavily fixated on my body as we both caught our breath again. His eyes were glanced down at my naked chest, pupils still wide with wonder as he got to fully take in the sight without being clouded by lust. I couldn’t help but want to tease him a little.

“Hey, my eyes are up here, mister.” I said cheekily, though I could tell that he had definitely missed my joke by the look on his face.

“Sorry!” His little squeak was adorable and he started to move his way off of me with averted eyes until I stopped him.

“Spencer- I was joking.” The smile that was prominent on my face then morphed into a coy look. I moved my hands down to cup my own boobs before continuing while I pinched my nipples like he had done, “You’ve got permission to look anytime you want.”

His shoulders slumped a little as they always did when he was relieved, I was happy to see his own smile back matching mine.

We had no desire to move from our position, at least for a little while until I had to get up to clean myself. But, I was content to bask in bliss with Spencer for a while.

He brought me out of my thoughts by booping the tip of my nose with his pointer finger, my nose scrunching up a little in response. I giggled a little bit, moving my own pointer finger up to boop his own cute little button nose.

“Maybe you’d also look good with a nose ring.” He snorted loudly into my ear, making another fit of giggles erupt from me. At least this time my joke was caught by Spencer.

“Maybe so, but no. I’d like it better on you anyway.” His goofy little smile brought me such joy. In hindsight I should have never worried about Spencer loving my piercings, he’d think I was beautiful no matter what iteration I was. The little kiss he left on my nose was a testament to that.

I will be making buttons purchasable on Ko-fi soon!

Please tell me of things you would enjoy having in wearable circle form - of any of the stuff I do! Ships? Neglected characters we both love? Inside jokes for some reason?

Ideas I've had included:

Classic Who : "be quiet, Jamie" featuring the relevant Scot

- pretty shiny images of Doctors with important quotes

- something with the mind probe

- Ace being " a good girl who does what I'm told" with explosives or baseball bat or really anything else

- Rainbow Ace button with something on it like "GAL PALS" or some other funny reference to her amazing ability to have gay chemistry with every female guest star

YGO: the expected amount of Ryou Bakura and Malik you would imagine from me

-Arc V Sora, Dennis, because I love them that's why

DS9 - reproduction of the presumably vintage Tailor Made Andrew Robinson fan club button I bought a Star Trek Las Vegas in 2013

B5 - I haven't thought of any specifically but I'm already considering londos hair being an amazing element put on a button. Significant quotes perhaps? "In purple, I'm stunning" haha.

My plan 4 buttons of single characters is going to make things that make funny fandom jokes but could also be something that like you would want to wear on a funny t-shirt or something like that. Relatable content buttons. Like this one

Shipping ones are mostly just displays of look at this thing I love rather than here's some funny shit about me, thoughI could make a few that do that as well, I suppose.

The phrase "I care a normal amount" has been sticking out to me and I'm trying to find the right character to put it on haha

Anyway so that's the general feeling of things! These are certainly not an exhaustive list but maybe are inspiring to remind you of something you would like to see also.

In any case, buttons soon!

( since I also have full functionality of my printer back I can mail prints again! More on that later perhaps)

I just wanted to say, I absolutely loved Finger Painted Skies! I really liked the switch up in age dynamics between the brothers (as you usually get Jack as the oldest, really enjoyed him being the baby) I was wondering, do you have any thoughys/snippets on the 3 of them when they were younger? High school age maybe? Thanks!

thank you thank you thank you!!! fps was so much fun to write especially because of how different it felt.

I was going to write a little scene for you but I literally could not decide on one, so I’ll just sketch out a few moments from their teen years:

just because of where their birth months fall, Charlie was actually six years ahead of Jack in school and Race was three years ahead of him. This was largely a good thing, because if Charlie and Jack had been in high school at the same time Jack would’ve probably melted into the floor in embarrassment pretty early in the year.

Charlie first brought Albert home his sophomore year of college, so when Jack and Race were a high school freshman and senior respectively. They gave Albert so much shit. 

Albert had, of course, largely only heard the absolute best of Char’s brothers because he loved and missed them, and he was caught somewhat off guard by this fact.

Race came out his sophomore year of high school and let his senior brother and his friends handle anybody who tried to give him shit for it, Charlie came out a few months later when it finally clicked why the girls who kept asking him out weren’t appealing, and Jack came out to their mom when he was sixteen but had been working through his identity with Race for like a year and a half.

There were times in their teen years when Race felt really out of place - he came into the family later than the Kellys, he wasn’t “really” their brother like the two of them were to each other - but Charlie and Jack and Medda all made it their business to remind Race how much they love him and how important he is to their family.

#letstalk I am sharing in hopes to help normalize the shame and stigma that’s associating with it. This also feels more stigmatic and more shameful (or it was and still is for me) for men compared to women. That is domestic abuse and domestic violence. It happen to me in 2017 and 2018. I was a victim of domestic abuse…and I stayed. I felt that I did something wrong and maybe deserved it. Or it was all the drinking he was doing so it was not ‘him’. I wanted it to work so bad. After a repeat I figured it out and ended the relationship. I realized that I need to love myself enough to want the best for myself and that I am enough just as me, I don’t need to be in a relationship to be loved. Eventually I want to therapy, thoughI did not go right away because you know I WAS FINE. I thought well it really wast not that bad for me compared to other stories I heard of abuse and violence like breaking bones or even mass injury. I had a few bruises and they were small. I am also a strong person so I don’t need therapy like those other that really needed support because their trauma was much more. Months later the shock of the past hit me in a panic attach. I realized that I do need help I am not fine. I finally availed myself of consulting services. My sharing this two fold. One domestic violence is not just a female problem, it’s a human problem no matter you gender identity. Second is talking about these topics, though hard, should be done. I did not realized right away the weight on my shoulders that I carried for months. I am thankful that I have the best friends, amazing family and access to some great consulting services through my work. I can now say I am a survivor. it ok be brave… Let’s talk about it. #bellletstalk #mentalhealth #bebrave https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNOVMwPR4K/?utm_medium=tumblr

[snowpatrolfanclubbrazil]

By Paul Mcnamee

Chasing Cars was the UK's most widely played song of the Noughties. But after global success, Snow Patrol have been quiet for seven years. Frontman Gary Lightbody was drawn into the 'dirt darkness' by drink and depression but now, he tells Paul McNamee, he's found his way home.

Gary Lightbody's moment came two years ago in a gym in Santa Monica. The Snow Patrol frontman has long had a reputation of indulging his appetites. But even he was going at in on a bigger scale, with a fierce, Valhallan vigour. The band's last tour had finished in late 2012.an then: "I started drinking." he says, "with a gusto that a professional boxer might train for a prize fight. It'd be mostly beer, I was quite a happy drunk. There was a hell of a lot of fun. Until it wasn't.

"I'd get to 2am sitting on my own, have a cry, and then a glass of something [stronger], I didn't have any relationships and I wasn't having sex either.I was very hermetic. Around 2015/2016 I was drinking every day and also I was hating it. I regret doing it even though I knew I was doing it out of compulsion" He was hitting the gym in the mornings to sweat it off. Then came the moment.

"I bent down to touch my toes and everything started spinning. It felt like the floor beneath me was moving. I thoughy it was an earthquake. But I kept going on. I phoned a friend who lived around the corner. I was like, 'Are we having an earthquake?' He said "Something's going on here'.

"I had a bunch of CT scans on my head. My whole head was infected - sinus, ears, eyes, everything. I'd been having styes and stuff on my eyes. Stick a teabag on it. This was the week before I was going to France to see Northen Ireland play in their first tournament i 30 years. I siad to the doctor, 'I'm flying to France in five days'. He's like, "No, you're not. If you fly with the air pressure it's feel like daggers ripping into your head'. I was still thinking maybe I'll be alright. I spoke to a friend, Gabrielle, an acupuncturist, an extraordinary human being. She'd been trying to get me to stop drinking for while..." So he stopped. Or at least, he began to stop. And in flooded the dark realities he'd been masking.

In recent weeks, as he's been working around the release of Wildness, Snow Patrol first album in seven years, Lightbody has started to talk for the first time about the mental health problems which have plagued him for year. ("I didn't talk about anything, nobody knew, the band didn't know.") Last year, after 12 months sober, came another key moment.

"Last summer", he says, "I thought I'd be relieved to get the album done. We'd just finished. But I wasn't. I was devasted. I'd opened a place in my psyche and I didn't know how to shut the door. It was like ark of the covenant was opened [from Raider Of The Lost Ark] and there were melting faces left and right and I didn't know how to shut the thing down. So instead of talking to somebody I tried to shut myself out. Let my own face melt. And the band knew something and they flew from London and arrived at the door and I broke down and told them everything. 

I have a depressive personality that has no relationship with reality. I could be having the best time on the surface and yet my depression goes 'You're still a cunt. Don't forget that. I'm dragging you down into the inkand the dirt and the darkness'. I could be playing to 15,000 people and three hours later be in a hotel room cruying on the floor. That's happened a bunch of times. The depression and the success have no relation to each other. It's just part of me. I've learned that rather than running from it, which you can never really do - you can have and turn and face it and look it in the eyes and say I'm not afraid of you any more".

And so he went home. Back to Northen Ireland, to North Down where he was brought up. It's the place he was desperate to leave in 1994, whe he ran to Dundee to star university, to start a band , to start years of chipping away with no success. Then he wrote Run and everything changed. 

It's easy, given their time away, to forget just how huge Snow Patrol were for a period from the mid to late Noughties, Nobody, really, was bigger. The song Chasing Cars, from fourth album Eyes Open, was picked up for UA his TV show Grey's Anatomy and propelled them to massive fame. Lightbody moved to Santa Monica around 2009. ("Soon as my feet hit the sand in Santa Monica something just hit and I thought, I want to live here") Recently he claimed he'd moved back to Northern Ireland because the band were getting ready to work again  and he needed to be near them. But it feels like the truth is little more complicated.

"You're right. There are quite few reasons. My dad isn't well, my mum isn't coping very well and my niece is going to be 11 in July, I've missed most of her life living in LA.

"And I missed home. It's a time in Northern Ireland as well when it feels like we're at a bit of a crossroads again. I felt a bit of a calling back here. Not that I figure I can help in any way, but I certainly won't feel connected if I'm 5,000 miles away I wanted to reconnect". We're meeting in the Crawfordsburn Inn, the picture post card hotel not far from Gary's shorefront home, overlooking Belfast Lough.

It feels timely. We meet on the 20th anniversay of a concert in Belfast's Waterfront Hall, hosted by U2, that helped deliver a huge Yes vote in the referendum for the Good Friday Agreement. In a nation where defiant, No's had been the lingua franca, a Yes was significant. A political statement and a cleansing.

On that day, John Hume and David Trimble were ushered onstage by Bono , a man with a keen eye for a moment, U2 sang Don't Let me Down. Ash were there too, being young and hopefull. Twenty years on, as Lightbody says, Northern Ireland is at a bit of a crossroads. And he's found his way home. The album, Wildness, is worth the wait. If Snow Patrol had touched on themes of running and movement in the past, Wildness has a leitmotif of finally settling; The word 'home' is laced throught several songs. Two tracks in particular illustrate what Snow Patrol can really do - the anthemic reach of the huge, wondroug openning track Life on Earth ( a track that took Gary five years to complete) and the intimancy of What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?), a piece with just Gary on piano, a heartbreaker written for a friend going through a divorce. 

The song Soon marks another significant theme. It deal with Lightbody's father Jack's battle with Alzheimer's . It's a simple builder, full of grace note and sadness. There is a something quietly heroic in it. The video, filmed in Lightbody's apartment, sees him and his fater watching old home movies his dad recorded throught the years. As well as the sadness over what his father is losing, there is an understanding of a farewell to lost youth that the hopefulness of that other country is worth revisiting for both of them. "I love my dad," he says. "I have a lot of respect for him so I wanted to honour him, but at the same time I also have a lot of guilt for being away for most of my adult life. I don't just mean LA, I mean Glasgow, London,  or on tour constantly. And there is probably a place in my head where I go when I'm feeling somesick and that is both a place of calm and nostalgia and also a place of guilt and some shame.

"I've felt I've been running away most of the time from myself. So [he pauses]...someof the home references are me feeling disconnected rather than connected...feeling like I'd never really found a home. I never truly felt at home when I was growinh up in Northern Ireland. Then I left and never really felt at home anywhere else. And then I moved back to Northen Ireland and now I do feel at home here, but that has also coincided with me feeling at home inside my own body. Which was the whole problem the whole time. I wasn't comfortable with myself, I didn't like myself. So you have to figure that out before you can feel at home anywhere.

The band's influence and legacy go beyond their own work. They've helped shape the sounds that have become pervasive in post-millennial pop. Lightbody and band member Johnny McDaid have written with, among others, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and One Direction. Snow Patrol took Sheeran on the road in the States in 2011, helping him break through. They remain close. "Between myself and Johnny McDaid, we're written a lot of things for other pop acts, him more than me", he say. "I would say Ed came fully formed from his first album. He'd done the groundwork. All the grafting that you need to do, when you're a young band. He busked his ass off from the age of 15 on the streets of London, sleeping on his mate's couch. He had turned up to gigs and said to promoter, can you give me 15 minutes after the doors open. And promoters say aye. That's how he started. He grafted harder and still does to this day - harder than anyone I know. Sheeran's returning the favour, taking the the band on an American tour autumn. 

Refusing to accept Snow Patrol as fountainheads of a sound, Lightbody says they are more like Zelig, "probably bystanders". One got away, though. Mutual friend James Corden introduced Lightbody to Adele. 

"It happened to be a birthday of somebody that James and Adele knew...and I sat down with her and she said when are we going to do [a song]. We did two days - Adele, Johnny McDaid and me - the bones of three really amazing fucking songs. But we never got round to finishing it. And then the album came out and obviously we weren't on it."

While his own album has just come out, there is already preassure to get busy on the next. Long time producer, friend and mentor Garret "Jacknife" Lee has been in touch ("he says we need to get cracking on the next one"). For now, ahead of their own arena tour in the winter, Lightbody is learning to cope, listening to podcasts ("StuffyouShouldKnow from HowStuffWorks is my favourite one") and Bon Iver ("I think he's the finest songwriter alive") and working things out. 

"Me, now not drinking, I like myself but I'm socially awkward, I'd rather be sitting with bandmates, my family. I'm 41. I know what I want.

  And that is? 

"Peace I want to make sure that every day of my life I take a moment and realise eveything is calmer. I've learned how to meditate, learned how to do Qigong. Learned a whole load of practices that I do every day. They mitigate the madness. The greatest thing I ever did for my own emotional wellbeing was to talk."

And if we went back 20 years, and said here are the successes, here are the demands it'll make on you mentally, personally, physically - would you have taken it? "I would have taken it for half the successes I can't believe what happened to us. I still can't believe when I look back at  it, at  everything that is successful that has been good. At everything that is still happening. It is a dream, It's a bloody dream."

THIS THIS THIS.

Aaron’s mom probably came into his room later with remorseful eyes telling him that no she didn’t mean any of it but he really should be more mindful of what he does and he probably believed her. Aaron probably thoughy that was a genuine apology even though the words ‘i’m sorry’ were never spoken.

He probably clung to the good memories thinking that that’s how things Always Were, and that is how they could be again if he could just stop fucking up.

But in his mind he’ll never have the chance to see how things are because now she’s dead, and he’ll never get to finally hear ‘i’m proud of you’ or ‘i love you’ or any of the things he believed he could get if he just stopped making these small mistakes and upsetting her.

Hell maybe deep down he had a nagging feeling that this isn’t how it was supposed to be but who was he to complain! She’d got him things for his birthday and sure she forgot to feed him on occassion but she was just tired, and it was his responsibility to take care of himself anyways.

I just woke up so I may not be making sense but yeah this is. Very important to me ahh

TW for in-depth discussion of child abuse

Okay so in a lot of fics and things (literally all I've read mentioning this topic except for literally one), it mentions Aaron and his connection to his mom and how she was a terrible monster every second of every day. But that's just not how abuse and manipulation works. That's not how people work.

Aaron most likely grew up with a kind, loving mother who fed him and bought him a bike for his tenth birthday. She spent an entire day helping him put glow in the dark stars on his bedroom ceiling in the shape of real constellations. She let him stay up as late as he wanted. Every time he got an A on his report card, she'd take him to a local coffee shop and get him a strawberry smoothie and a chocolate cookie. She was such a good mom.

Yeah sure, sometimes she'd yell speak sternly at him for small things like forgetting to sweep, and sometimes she'd hit him, too, but that's okay, because she's right, he was the one at fault anyway, I should have remembered, I'm sorry. That's okay, just remember next time. (and if he's still crying, she'll give him one of her pills that will make him feel better). And the next day they'll pretend nothing happened and he'll make breakfast and she'll ruffle his hair before dropping him off at school. I love you.

And as he got older, she got more and more annoyed at the little things, less restrained with the hitting, but it's fine. She's always been like this. She'll get out of her mood eventually. They'll both pretend it never happened and he'll steal a few more pills from her purse and they'd be okay again. That's what happens. I love you too, Mom.

And then suddenly there's someone else in the house. Someone else who should be exactly like him (right?) but is angrier and hates Mom for some reason. Who looked ready to stab someone when he saw her hit Aaron again. Who didn't understand that she'll calm down eventually. That's just how she is. Let her calm down. You're overreacting, Andrew.

And then he starts to think that the other person understands, that he gets that she'll cheer up, you just have to give her time, but honestly his mind has been so fuzzy lately, but it's fine because he feels better, the pills makes him feel better. That's what Mom always said. (He stole an entire bottle of them from her bedside table a while back. He didn't think she noticed. He hopes she's taking them. They'll make her feel better.)

And Aaron can practically feel that his mom is gonna cheer up again, watch, it's gonna be next week at the latest.

But then Andrew kills her. He fucking kills her. He locks Aaron in the bathroom and tells him that the pills are bad, they make you feel bad. He tells Aaron that his mom was bad, and abusive, and that she was never going to cheer up and she was never going to stop hurting him.

But Aaron doesn't fucking understand. She was a kind and loving mother who bought him a bike for his tenth birthday and let him ride around town until sunset all summer. She spent an entire day helping him put glow in the dark stars on his bedroom ceiling in the shape of real constellations. It was even on a Thursday, in October! She let him stay up as late as he wanted, as long as he wasn't loud enough to wake her. Every time he got an A on his report card, she'd buy him a strawberry smoothie and a chocolate cookie from the coffeshop, even though he was slightly allergic to strawberries and didn't really like chocolate.

She was such a good mom.

“Woa woa woa that took a turn”

Was his reaction when i mentioned suicidal thoughts. Ironically its mine too when i see them around, inside.

“ okay everyone has bad days but thats no reason to be suicidal”

I know; and if I was suicidal then please do believe me when i say “a bad day” is 100% not the reason ! I have more respect for those who suffer till suicide gets the best of them than to be suicidal over “a bas day”. But thanks I appreciate glad u told me.

“The world is all ups and downs” I know wallahi I really know. But they don’t always come equally. Ups sometimes take too long apart. “It’s like that with everyone everywhere” Well done luv. You just made me feel shit. Say my problems are unimportant. Dont belittle someone’s issues ! However, yes everyone gets ups and downs but nevertheless one must say they’re never always the same. And even if everyone felt the same way or worse that will not cancel the presence of my feelings.

“as much happiness you get, that’s how much sadness youre getting” …

Okay first of all NOPE. Secondly, if anything the sentence should be said the other way around. As much sadness u get u will get happiness. Using reward system theory mate. Thirdly, the world is very unfair. Extermly. So no my love it is not like so.

“Please dont use that word again. Because it scares me”

You askes nicely so I 100% won’t. I do not want to upset you. But that won’t mean that it won’t be present in my mind.

You said talk to me. But I guess instead I scared you. Maybe you are not ready to see the darker side of life. Of me at least.

But youre mature.

I said i see the thoughts floating around. I am not actively thinking I’ll commit suicide. But thoughts of what if i am gone ? What if i am dead? How would i die ? Do i care if i do ? And one thought leads to another. And ofc i am actively removing any thoughts of this type instantly with a way or another. But i cant be always on gaured it’s tiring. Draining. And if am tired sometimes thoughys slip.

What you said made me scared. Tables turned.

It really did. Made me fear the stigma. The prejudice of others. Are others ready to see this “Taboo” “broken” side of me ? Are people not familiar with this ? Will you only see me through that lens? I care about you.

A label. Mental illness.

Not everyone has experienced such sadness. And fewer of those who didn’t, understand.

Do i scare people off ? Suicide. Death. Rape. Theft. Abuse. Loss. Pain. Hurt. Neglec. Chaos.

Once they see this side and start to digest it. They will only see me through that lens ? Stigma?

Stage 2. Chaos.

I was broken. And I break somedays. But there is so much more to me than that.

Yes i feel like i am in a battle. And it’s my battle. But theres more to me than that.

I can love. I can laugh. I can give love and care. I can be the best you ever met. I recall the days I couldn’t do a thing from all these. 1462 days.

I still have some of those days. Bad days. Days where I am physically being torn apart. My organs feels sore, stabbed, pulled apart with bare hands. Ignoring the great indescribable pain because I dont have the right to acknowledged it; my mind is crowded chaos thoughts are everywhere but I understand nothing. Chaos. Outside I’m stone cold. An attempt to tidy my mind. Everyone has “bad days” after all, right?Flash back . Man hands chasing me. My hurt tightens. Man hands hold me. Unwillingly. Something sharp pierces my heart.Do you like it ? Tears. I taste salt. The tears rolling on my lip. I’m now wearing my chaos outside. Silently sobbing. I dont feel safe. Dad. A night and a half later; I’m stone cold. Inside and out. Uncapable of love or living. But… I have to, at least the latter. Auto-pilot.

Like I was saying I still have bad days. But all of it is yes huge. And so fucking heavy to hear trust me i know i carry it around ! But also do trust me when i say there’s more to me than that. It is a big part of me and my past yes it broke me down but it also built me. Perhaps, take it in consideration. But dont only look at me through it.

I love sex ! I love food  ! I love family and life ! I love luxury remindes me of my better past so im working towards it! I have malfunctioning days. But before everyday was a malfunctioning day. Now it’s not so and for that i’m proud.

I have diverted.

I appreciate his intentions greatly and i know he means all good. But skills are yet to be developed. Perhaps im in his life so he learns this.

Or perhaps for me as reminder to take pride in what I reached.

That’s whats on my mind honey.

Pink Full Moon in Libra, April 7 (or 8, depending on where you are) 2020 - Plus Updates on Post-Jupiter Pluto Conjunction - Timeless

Hi all, how was the 4/4/2020 Gateway doing for you? I hope it was OK. This will be just a wordvomit update on the energies and possible aftermaths of the energetic gateways that opened up in the same time as the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on April 4 (or 5), a few days ago.

If you got to join the global peace meditation on that same gateway, I pray that the energies were gentle, healing and eye-opening. But if you got tired, dizzy, really emotional, and felt like your life just couldn’t fall apart even more, well, I feel you fam, I feel you. Same here. I was participating in some group meditations a few days before that and when the portal opened I just felt really weak and tired and my old back pain issue popped up again, it’s inflamed. Talk about the body telling you things. **sigh** It’s like Dark Night of the Soul for the nth time, again. And I was like “Really? SMH” T_T It’s like opening another can of worms, it just takes so much of the happiness away (read: dementors). It also pushed me to just hide even more and ruminate and do everything I can to process the emotions away. I did all of the tools that I knew and despite still feeling icky, I am believing that things can still get better. But truth be told, if you have been doing the inner work, crummy things like these have been cyclical and have been going through our lives each time we unearth some parts and release them. The energetic portals and gateways just unclog the collective in general, and as way-showers (we can also be called frontliners, energetically) we get to face the low vibrational stuff first hand. Not all of them are ours, but are really just the collective gunk that gets released even though it feels like they are entering through our bodies and making us face the dark parts of ourselves, again (because they’re in layers and thus we have to remove them in layers too. It sucks but that’s how it works, it can’t be helped).

And fighting all the demons will take time. - Dishwalla, Angels and Devils

Yeah you might wanna listen to the track above, just to get some sort of insight if you feel called. I just love the acoustic version so it’s what I linked lol.

But kidding aside, yeah, fighting all the demons really take time, and even though it does suck big time, I’m already at a point that I had to remind myself to use the low vibes to help me heal what needs to be healed, because at this point I can’t do much with the lockdown still going on (I am about to go really, really crazy staying stagnant AF). It’s also frustrating when the entire household is just glued to the news, like THIS ISN’T A TYPHOON WHERE YOU NEED HOURLY UPDATES T_T It’s just frustrating, and everything just went downhill for me when the gateway opened. All of the anger and frustration that had almost eaten me alive for a good chunk of my life all came rushing forward. I haven’t crumbled into a crying heap yet, maybe after I post this lol but despite meditating for heccin long hours, doing more physical activities than the usual (despite the sweltering heat) and still getting no absolution of the frustration, I was really about to give in to lashing out, just to free me from the pain. I had no idea how to transmute these complex emotions (aka they’re all crumpled into one big heap of NOPE) in the fastest and most efficient way possible but I also didn’t want to vent out and trigger anger within the household (me commenting on every death toll count as fear mongering was already too much lol) so I just ended up venting my anger on leveling up in Tetris 99 because GAH I NEED TO GET SOME SORT OF CLARITY ON THINGS. It felt nice, but now each time I close my eyes I only see all of the tetraminos trying to fit snugly into the slots. Still better than getting angry and stuff.

And later will be the Pink Full Moon in Libra, so I guess it’s going to be another strong full moon since it’s the first one after the gateway opened. Since Libra is a sign that wants balance, and makes sure that everything gets balanced by hook or by crook, this is also a great time to reflect on what needs to get balanced in our lives. Because despite being all lovey-dovey and smooth and silky, Libra is still a cardinal sign that can really unleash the beast if there is a strong imbalance of some sort. It’s just a bit more flexible than Capricorn, more level-headed than Cancer, and a lot more forward-thinking than Aries. If you need to know, I have all of these in my natal chart and it’s not exactly a fun party when all the cardinal energies have not yet figured out how to have fun with everyone else.

OK after this line is a personal rant ,you can end the reading here. =)

For me, personally, I really need to balance listening on what others tell me to do, and what information I channel for myself. I guess trying hard to try to fit in by tuning in to the collective like most of the card readers elsewhere dulled my senses and I just felt my oversoul just said HECC IT and cut me out of the general collective altogether. Now I find it hard to tune in to the larger chunk of the collective since the Lion’s Gate of 2019 so I just don’t post anything collective-based in my cartomancy side blog. Now it’s mostly my own personal energetic stuff. The flipside of this is that aside from feeling the general fears and whatnot of the collective unconscious (hence my rant on feelings lol) I still find it a lot more manageable to do readings for other people or events, even thoughI have to unblock a ton just to hear the Divine realms say HI to me. T_T

And that is why standing out instead of fitting in is a strong lesson in balance for me. It sucks but it’s not like I can keep escaping my life path.

Personal ranting ends here lol

I am still feeling a bit woozy even though it’s been a few days after the energetic portal so I won’t be posting an infused photo in this post, but I’ll make a special one once my energies get stabilized again. I hope you all don’t mind.

Oh, and one last thing before I end this post. The huge energetic shifts that happened since the wildfires started in the new year, and other tectonic activities within the ring of fire region are only the beginnings of things that are about to come, so if you’re wishing that things will get back to normal, I am here to tell you that nope, not gonna happen. If anything, this is a time to update all systems and revise time-consuming protocols because honestly, calamities like these will become more common and thus streamlining methods will become more than inevitable. Self-sufficiency up to certain levels will also be even more important, as would be the de-centralization of various services and whatnot in order to bring back the power to the larger members of the populace.

But do not fear, just because the changes are annoying and inconvenient does not mean that things will eventually get suckier. Just imagine the time around the early 20th century when electricity wasn’t even a thing and then all of a sudden transmission lines were being installed in each household. Sure, there’s a risk of fire and getting electrocuted, but look at what time we’re living in now. Can’t even read this post without relying on electrical lines. You can think of it that way.

And so this ends my Full Moon message, for everyone who feels called to this. It’s also somewhat timeless so if you read this in the future and it still resonates, it just means that you were able to receive what you needed to know right now.

Thank you for walking this weird journey with me, see you on the next update, and may you grow into the person you seek.

Mikazuki

2017 Bentley Bentayga vs. 2016 Tesla Model X P90D Ludicrous – Head 2 Head Ep. 76

this is the bentley bentayga the fastest suv ever it’s also the quickest SUVwe’ve ever tested at Motor Trend doing 0 to 60 in a ridiculous three and a halfseconds that’s a brand new record that’s gonna stand for about the next 42secondsthis interesting looking purple thing behind me is the Bentley Bentayga Bentley says it is the fastestmost powerful most luxurious most exclusive SUV ever it has a six literw12 engine which means that has two 3 liter vr6 has joined the crank eachwith its own twin-scroll turbocharger it makes 600 horsepower and six hundred andsixty-four pound-feet of torque hey Jason I was thinking the most powerful suv in the world’s actuallythe Mercedes AMG g65 which makes 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torqueso maybe Bentley meant the bentayga is the most powerful crossover in the worldthe Tesla Model X on the other hand it doesn’t even have an engine but it doeshave a battery pack big enough to keep your iPhone charged for 36 years ofcourse it can release all of that energy at once but it can release five hundredand thirty-two horsepower worth of it and its motors make seven hundred andthirteen pound-feet of torque with a claimed hundred and eighty seven mile anhour top speed the bentayga is the fastest SUVworld but I have a hunch that the Tesla Model access actually quickeracceleration to find out we brought them both to a drag stripthe Bentley’s turbo lag isn’t a factor here because we break torqued it on launch still is no matchfor the Tesla which pose a significant lead from the get-go the Model X beatsthe bentayga a sixty miles an hour3. 2 seconds to 3. 5 and continues to pull further ahead until eighty miles an hourwhere its lead peaks at 0. 5 seconds it’s only then that the electricmotors output starts to wane relative to the twin-turbo w12 and the Bentley startsto catch up in an all-out race Bentayga would win its top speed is 32miles an hour higher but when these two cars fly through the quarter mile theBentleys just 0. 2 seconds behind the Model X ladies and gentlemento mommy mobiles that easily and repeatedly poll elevens in the quartermile told you as quick you just watch the world’s fastest SUV get its asshanded to it by an electric car and we can tell people until we’re blue in theface just how otherworldly fast these Teslas are and they don’t seem to believeus they get in the passenger seat and go full tourette’s on us I think I’vefinally come up with a way to demonstrate just how quickly these carsare to do that i’m gonna bring in a min engine carbon top Italian superstaryour saying things is a super car yeah the Alfa 4c is a super car and it does here to 60 in 4. 2seconds which means it would embarrass a Lamborghini Diablo in a straight line up that is a really goodpointits also louder than a Diablo lot louderok so there you have it a Alfa 4c Spider racing a Alfa 4c Spider thats strapped onto a trailer being towed by a model X this wasn’t a scientificrace we used not testing equipment because frankly this was really stupidbut the point here is that the Alfa 4c is a really really fast car and theModel X is so much faster that you have to put a 4,000 pound trailer on it tomake it only as fast as a really fast car please don’t try this at home wetried it because we’re not at home and we’re professionals professional idiotsbut professionals non the less idiots well you’re alive and I did not think you would bewhen you told me like hey he’s going to put a race car on a trailer and tow it behind aTesla and do a full launch I was like he’s going to die he’s going to jack knife he’s going die and findanother co-host well I’m glad you didn’t yeah that was nuts I really thought the back half ofthe Tesla was gonna rip off every single time we launched it I think its just insane ludicrousactually one step pass insane no but you don’t look in any other company that is a seriously quickSUV and potentially the fastest suv in the world but these two trucks it happened at the sametime which I find really interesting that is only tiny British luxury withwood and leather and it couldn’t be any more different than this which is newSilicon Valley drives itself electric technology showcase computer on wheels Ithink it’s really interesting that they’re happening at the same time thatsaid this is a strange head-to-head because that car costs almost twice whatthis car costs and in that sense they’re not direct competitors that sounds likesomething that Tesla and Bentley marketing department would say I would sayif your a rich person and you’re in the market for the latest greatest craziest SUV you’re gonna takea long hard look at both of these yes and maybe have to pick one which is whywe have to pick one which is why we’re not going to go on the road and drivethese things to figure out which one is the better SUValright Bentayga pretty quite goes down the road with authority very fast suv worlds fastest suv as they claimthis one is on 21’s right that does bring up one thing about this ride quality impact is a little bit harsh just because you don’t have a lot of sidewall and then everythingelse is sort of like suitably bentley wallow so you get this sort of impression thatyou’re driving an Audi q7 with like blown shocks but it’s like bang is that in bentleymode or comfort mode in comfort mode you have like completely blown shocks totallyin Bentley mode it rides well but I I wish the impact was damped a little bit it’s kinda all about sport mode this is an impressive mode for this carthis is the one where it starts uses that 48 volt electrical system just moved sway bars around right the waythis one works there’s a step-up transformer up to 48 and that powerssupercapacitors that are on the roll bars so turn into a corner there’s likeno roll like this flat I rolled my fat rolled well we need better seat beats it stays very flat on corners the interesting thing thoughis it stays perfectly flat thru the corner and then it’s got huge break dive andacceleration squad I mean you floor it at night you blind all the drivers in front of you I thinksports mode really does solve a lot of that however like all Bentley’s I like driving in Bentley mode but is this thingBentley enough if mulsanne on which is a real six and three quarter liter v8rear wheel drive thats a bentley if this is a mulsanne over hereand this is a Cadillac Cimarron in terms of badge engineering meaning a luxury brand ona car that’s not a luxury car ok too far that direction for methe Audi q7 which is based on is a fantastic fantastic vehicle really good luxury kind of aestheticallychallenged though it shares that with this how does he even take it differ from accused notenough the steering wheel and the controls are all very clearly outing wedrive all his car so we recognize this and that and the potential owners ofthis car might not recognize that but a badge job is just a badge job the engine isunique so let’s talk about that said brand new six liter w12 same basicdisplacement as the old engines still two vr6 right but it got direct injection and moreimportantly the ability to disable one bank of cylinders so while you’recruising this can be a 3 liter vr6 and fuel economy gains are huge I mean I’ve seensort 16 and a half miles per gallondriving like a jerk and that’s six liter 12 cylinder that does 0 to 60in 3 seconds3. 7 seconds is a massive achievement and more importantlythe w12 sort of took any vibration that the vr6 multiplied by twenty this one isgenuinely v12 smooth and it sounds good it does sound good yeah that’s hard todo with a w anythinghats off to Bentley for finally perfecting that w12 sounds goodgreat gas mileage turbo lag is a fraction of what it was before this is now amodern engine I like that a lot Bentley says this thing will do a hundred and eighty seven miles an hour I don’t thinktoo many customers to try that but they want to be able to say I know 187 I cango off-road if I need to and that’s what we’re paying the money and it was foryou know thirty seconds until we tested the Tesla the quickest and fastest SUV we’ve evertested everand now it’s just the fastest I mean poor things going to have to cry itself to sleep atnight probably why look at itself in the mirror but look at this together with the Teslasee if we can figure out exactly what the designers were thinking thedesign for thinking now not looking either boy I seen these cars for yearsand years and years and they are not getting better with agebeauty is in the eyes of the beholder I mean these both of these cars are soldout clearly there are people who are not nearly as offended by the way they lookas we are one thing that I find very interesting is this is an exercise inopposites nice he told him that has to look ahead later nice shape themerchandise put the proportions are awful the Bentley is kind of the otherway around the proportions are just conventional SUV that was a missedopportunity for Bentley and it’s only been leonid details but the details thatthat is a lot I’ll give you one thing that he drove me nuts this test if youlook at it from the side or from the back would you really know we’ve got acopy the 5 series of all timethat’s our new SUV and then this week killed me about then take is those bodycolored caps on the secondary lights it’s bad sorry migrants Bentley has tonip this in the bud the horrible detail in the further we get from the cardisappointing in different directions and suddenly the car looks cross boobjob look again there’s a lot of people waiting in line to buy this car but itstrikes me as a German caricature of what a British luxury car could be soldto Chinese audience and it will by the time this car is meant to do at least itdoesn’t look like it’s going bald with that giant piece of glass looks like wesee great house forehead so which is prettierlet’s just go on that thingyeah the drive car because there are other cars out therenew e-class which has similar capabilities but it’s only about 80percent as good as this it shows you what it seems that you are so covetedjudges of blind here’s what I see here is where the car is in the line lookhere comes a bicycle here comes a semi-truck it actually control thedifferent but I can send you can just let go of the wheel and actually trustedeven on a curvy road yeah no way human beings are you get a text message you’regonna look at it that where you’re not going to check any million and and sothat’s dangerous right and so what do you do to prison for doing it for youdevelop technology where people are gonna be behaved and they’re not gonnadiethe bentley as you know all the worldly time he’d luxury in the sense of leathereverywhere inside of a human or are you know what’s really luxurious to meet thefact that I can relax for a second and read a quick text message that’s aluxury the the ability to not necessarily give a hundred percent of myattention the whole time driving and then not sacrifice anything that safetyis a true new luxury it’s a missed opportunity for the dentate absolutelythat has linked you persist but its Pogo’s back and forth until it basicallybounces off a peasant innovation these guys are bringing to the market isincrediblelook you accompany the lead have an internal combustion engine all-electricautopilot this amazing giant touchscreen this is an arson 2012 every touch screenhas come since not as goodyeah however if you had a squiggle have to check my medical records that Ieaten squigglearound they made us wear bagel and there’s a lot of innovation in this carwhich reminds me of a squiggle innovation for the sake of innovationlike this work we did the Sun Visor well that’s because they reinvented thewindshield yeah it doesn’t matter when showed where there’s no cover here sodesert so it is going to be beating down my head I mean look I’m have to wear ahat todaydelicate flower really there’s no way to ever shape this the multiple seatswhat do those do again and this time windows are one step away from a whitesquare wheels yet mister must I said square with most of the stuff in the carworks but had they not wasted all those seats the doors discarded on sale 18months ago and the model three right which is the car that I really careabout that the mass market $40,000you must is not and I appreciate that because he’s tightening of theautomotive industry by that I mean people who have pushed through theirvision and refused to accept compromise and it starts you know with a ToryBugatti every 43 Ford he act right these are the guys that were uncompromisingand maybe we look at some of these things like the glass and the shockendorsing the season think they were unnecessary but at the same time he’llon push through autopilot this screen and let’s not forget electric vehiclesand there’s one thing I love about esta tu is a Google we’re gonna make it it’sgoing to be thethey ever made is just so named because we hate cars but is gonna drive itselfthrough texts like Parker dress herself by the way it’s quicker than almostevery Super occur on the planet in a straight line and it seats seven and gotseven seat heaters you know I love that aboutbad things it doesn’t quite right as nicely as the deadly but the funny thingis when we talk about these cars we never mentioned ride handling theirsteering or breaks caused it all works I love the engineers at 10 right out ofthe gate Model S is great to drive this is like a model S and 700 extra poundsessentially it’s a little heavier but it drives about as good or better handlingof course if you are there were stealing cars I cannot get enough of his doorthat is so cool I walk away and it closes you are easily amused by thisdirectionopened a little bit opens more it’s a gimmick it is not it is a germaphobesweat dream which is really repulsive to return to use their hands anyway it is agimmick but you like it I like it and more importantly when I started drivinga Bentley regularly I miss it so it can you get used to which will turn intosomething they don’t touch my god oh my clothes are you ok let’s get this thingcharge and get sleep doesn’t follow orders I guess ok there’s parking thankyou I’m going to use technology to fix my parking job huhparking charging yeah I love the front doors I could live without the rivers inthe fucking dorsey overly complicated super gimmick the delayed the launch ofthis vehicle by 18 months that nearly sank the stock price of Tesla need badlooking ahead to develop new technology which i think is interestingultrasonic sensors that see through the skincircle things actually sees right through to at least it’s a questionabledecision on whether they should have done it but they didn’t like it at allit’s like going to the moon to develop the electric drillyes I don’t have a problem with that a drug test was saying that this thing canopen up if there’s an optical within 11 images just pull the door of her go getthem leaving go on with this massive with the door until it gets pretty shyboy don’t hit the bed layinglook at that you know me and many men could do the same thing but yeah youknow the one thing I will say about this technology doesn’t the fact that I canpull my iPhone and things will drive out of the parking spots render them yeslet’s get coffee before I pass out pretty cool though their genius geniusso in conclusion I don’t like either by later no get back here who am I gonnafight with about the decision you don’t have to like it we have to judge themobjectively based on their target audience and their intended purposetarget audiences funny bring that up so here’s laughing a real Bentley there isa whimsical is to it there’s an emotional part to it that is lackingfrom this car this thing is very intellectual into very German take on aBentley yes the letters all here but it doesn’t feel british two hundred andeighty thousand dollars I’d argue there is a British car you could get in factyou could buy two Range Rover autobiography supercharged everyavailable option and did might have won this anyway but yeah if you wantsomething electric you don’t have a choice but to go with the test thatthere is no electric vehicle yeah I think that guys came out the winner ofthe said not pretty though fully understand you get an enemy artists hesaid listen to music at the defeat of what wheels however I don’t think it’spossible to have a more obnoxious SUV then a three turn purple Bentley I justdon’t think you could have one nowno way I’m drawing blanks yeahwe know you don’t have time to wait for the next episode of head-to-head that’swhy you need to head to motor trend on mint. com that’s where the latest
