based off me repeatedly tagging that Carlos broke Lando's hindbrain from Too Good Dick

au prompt where robot L4N.0 ("Lando" since the last part is dot oh) was made by Zak/McLaren's group of experimental engineers to be the perfect teammate for Carlos Sainz Jr. not every driver or team gets to have a custom robot. maybe it's tied into money and privilege etc (explaining Max V's existence). it's great because Lando cannot get hurt and they can just bring him back to the garage and fix him up alongside the car. thing is that due to regulations roboLando has to spend all night alone in the garage on race weekends since no one is allowed to work on him during certain hours. enter Carlos having already fallen in love with Lando the first time they met and he can't bear to see Lando all powered down and lifeless in his race suit curled up on a tyre pallet next to the car. thanks to some collusion/blackmail with the mechanics Carlos starts sneaking into the garage at night using a separate battery to wake Lando up. they do what every man and beautiful robot inevitably get up to.

blah blah blah Carlos' powerful Spanish loads turn Lando into a real boy (I'm not a fic writer) angst when Lando yelps the first time a mechanic handles him roughly and everyone freezes like wtf he isn't supposed to feel that. Carlos going ai ai ai dios mio mis cojones etc.

pls tag me if anyone does this

   BOYFRIEND!RAFE x ACADEMIC!READER

WARNINGS .ᐟ fem!reader, unconventional study methods, fingering, lots of talking, facts about the nervous system

NOTES .ᐟ boyfriend rafe boyfriend rafe boyfriend rafe. this came to me while i was tediously taking notes for my psych class and wishing that i had a sexy rafe cameron in my bed.

You sat comfortably on your boyfriend's bed, your back pressed against his chest as you typed away on your computer, taking notes for your psychology class. His chin rested on your shoulder as he peered at the screen, reading a bunch of words he didn't quite understand while his hand rested on your thigh, his thumb drawing soft circles.

"What are you doing?" He hummed, his fingers dancing slightly higher. He knew what you were doing, but he wanted to hear you say it. He loved how excited you got and how you rambled on and on when you were telling him something you were passionate about. If he was being honest, it was kind of a major turn on.

"I've got a test tomorrow on the biological bases of behavior, so I'm just refreshing my memory on the endocrine and nervous systems," you explained, too focused on your notes to register that his touch was slowly sliding closer and closer to your clothed core.

"Oh, yeah?" He murmured, dipping his head down, his lips brushing against your skin as he began to pepper soft, open-mouthed kisses down the column of your throat. His hand continued upwards, his fingers lightly brushing you over your already damp underwear. "Tell me about it, baby."

"Rafe," you gasped softly, biting your lip. You tilted your head to the side, your eyes fluttering shut as you tried to find your resolve and tell him to stop, but you couldn't help the way your legs parted for him. "I told you I have to study."

"You are studying. Cmon, tell me all about the nervous system while I touch you, baby. You can do both," he coaxed you, his long fingers expertly pulling your panties to the side and running along your wet folds. "Tell me everything that's in that beautiful brain of yours."

You let out a breathy moan, your breathing quickening as your head fell back against his shoulder. You racked your brain for any piece of information, his touch making your mind go blank. "The brain is um-" you drew in a sharp breath as his thumb nudged your clit. "The exterior brain structures are the cerebral cortex, cereb-bellum, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, frontal lobe, and parietal lobe," you managed to say.

"Mmhmm, and what about the interior?" He prompted, his fingers slowly pushing inside of you. "Tell me every little detail, baby. I wanna know everything." His voice was low and husky as he encouraged you to keep going, his breath hot against your skin.

"Rafe," you moaned, your lips parting in pleasure as his fingers worked expertly inside you. You couldn't focus when you could feel his long fingers dragging against your tight walls.

"Cmon, my smart girl," he cooed, his other hand snaking around your waist and splaying his large hand across your stomach to keep you in place. "You know it. I know you do." He continued drawing his fingers in and out of you as his thumb rubbed your puffy clit firmly.

You did know it. You'd even forced Rafe to help you make stupid flashcards, so you could memorize the parts and all their functions. But, he had a way of making you forget everything and turning your brain to mush when he had his hands on you.

Your voice was shaky and breathless as you spoke, feeling your orgasm building low in your stomach. "The interior brain structures are the-the amygdala, hippocampus, medulla oblongata-" you gasped, your back arching into his touch when his fingers hit that spot inside you that had you practically seeing stars. You hesitantly kept going, trying to focus because knowing Rafe, if you stopped, he would too. "P-pituitary gland, thalamus, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, midbrain, and pons." You were pretty impressed with yourself that you managed to remember all that while your boyfriend was knuckle deep inside your dripping cunt.

He groaned, feeling himself grow harder as he listened to your breathy voice tell him all about your studies. "You're so fuckin' smart," he found that sensitive spot on your neck, sucking gently. "My brilliant girl."

Your walls fluttered around his fingers at his praising words. He was always so interested in what you had to say, never dismissing you or brushing you off when you started rambling aimlessly and throwing random facts his way. He listened intently, showing genuine interest that made you feel so loved and seen.

"Keep going, baby," he rasped, his fingers speeding up in a way that had you gripping his bicep—needing something, anything to keep you present. "What do all those big words do, hm?"

You let out a breathy laugh, your chest rising and falling rapidly. "Well, the um- the hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland, which releases hormones that regulate bodily functions," you explained, smiling softly at how fitting that fact seemed to be.

"Mm, like the hormones that are rushing through your veins right now, making you all hot and bothered for me?" He asked, his voice low and taunting, his teeth lightly nipping at your neck. He pushed his fingers deeper, curving them up to hit that spot that always made your legs shake.

"Uh huh," you moaned, your nails sinking into his bicep through the soft material of his sweater. His fingers curling inside you as his thumb continued swirling around your sensitive bundle of nerves, coaxing you closer and closer to the edge.

He hummed against your skin, his tongue laving over the spot where his teeth had marked you. "Cmon, pretty girl," he whispered, feeling your body tense up. "You did so good. Let me feel you come apart on my fingers."

Your eyes fluttered shut, back arching into his touch as his words sent you over the edge. A whimper of his name fell past your parted lips amongst a sea of soft moans as you came, your walls clenching rhythmically around his fingers while he continued to drag them in and out of you, prolonging your high.

He groaned as he felt your velvety walls flutter and squeeze around his fingers, your sweet cries of his name spurring him on. He worked you through it, fingers pumping steadily, thumb circling your clit until you were a boneless, panting mess in his arms.

He peppered kisses along your jaw as he carefully pulled away from your weeping core. "Who knew you could make biology sound so sexy,"

"Technically, it's psychology," you corrected him, chest heaving. You turned your head to look at him as he brought his fingers to his lips, sucking your release off of them with a low groan. You bit your lips at the sight, his lips glistening as he pulled his fingers back.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he flashed you a grin before leaning down to capture your lips in a gentle kiss, slipping his tongue into your mouth to let you taste yourself on his tongue.

You moaned softly into his mouth, reluctantly pulling back after a moment. "If you keep distracting me, I'm never going to finish."

"Hm, that's weird because I'm pretty sure you just did," he hummed, feigning confusion as a cocky smirk tugged at his lips.

"Oh, shut up," you laughed, feeling your cheeks heat up at his innuendo. His hand slid up your arm, tracing soft shapes on your bare skin. You looked up at him, seeing the way his pupils dilated and feeling the evidence of arousal digging into you from behind. "Five more minutes and then I'm all yours, deal?" You raised a brow. You figured you had studied enough over the last couple days, and your oh so patient boyfriend deserved some of your attention.

A sly grin settled on his lips. "Deal, but don't think that I'll be keeping my hands to myself during these five minutes," he said, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

You turned back to your computer, giggling as he dipped his head back into your neck, already kissing and sucking at your delicate skin. His hands started to roam your body, and as you tried to focus, you found yourself wondering if you would make it five minutes before you surrendered to him.

☆What would be the perfect subliminal?☆

(No pretty pic to attract the masses, this time.)

This is me pondering out loud, don't mind me.

• Constituents of a well rounded subliminal •

1. Simple affirmations.

Affirmations which are commonly repeated while shifting/entering the void state. Their count and repetition makes them align with the user's wants as the affirmations previously found a place in the brain.

2. Merging the past, present and future.

If affirmation regarding time are placed without an order in a subliminal, they break the illusion of the free running of time.

Grasp of mechanics:

Inclusion of all the possible scenarios of how something will take place, breaks the illusion of circumstances; anything at anywhere, anyhow.

Message takeover:

The more emphasis is put on the message of the subliminal; so if the subliminal is categorised as forced than anything else is given a lower importance, and the first mode of action for the human brain is achieving the state of the message which is running through it. Being a gullible piece of flesh, it reaches the consciousness, where all is possible.

Establishment as fact:

It is.

It just is; no more questions asked, the brain nods along all the information like a influenced toddler. Comparing the action to the simplicity of the easiest of human tasks, such as blinking, gives the brain a comparison to go off by.

Affirmation centre:

Medulla oblongata; in biology is the name for the breathing centre of the brain, which regulates the rate of breathing.

If the sub maker was to established a metaphorical location in the brain; and feed its specific function, location and characteristics to the brain; like impulse signals the brain would check it as true.

A affirmation centre function could be that it reaches into the consciousness to manifest and materialise all the affirmations that reaches it.

Regulation of physical impulses:

The requirement of the body set aside by the affirmation which disguse themselves as signals sent to the brain.

Regulation of the human brain:

Removing the existence of doubts, fears. Establishment of positively, calm mindedness.

Connection to the consciousness:

The most important step, if the human brain got out the equation, manifesting would be instant.

Consciousness could be reached by "I am" statement, or simply by adding affirmation which forces the brain to step aside for the consciousness, or by affirmations that the entire human being is consciousness.

Frequencies:

Frequencies open up the brain to all the affirmations, by vibrating along it, and reaching deeper states of consciousness. These may be surface level states, or fully induced.

Placebo effects:

Affirmations relating to angel numbers, superiority complexes, paradoxical situations, numerical values, signs etc.

...

I'm not sure why I wrote this, maybe because I want to make a subliminal.

I know I said that my previous chart would be my last post, but I asked myself if it was a rushed decision due to a certain demotivating factor, and it indeed was.

I am still focusing on other realites, I've mentioned that I have a dr based on the book A Little Life. It does not have a complete script, nor have I experienced the reality a lot.

But the punch straight in my guts after I finished the book; first falling in love with the characters, developing a deep sense of care and feelings for them, only for all of them to end up with unfathomable depressing and tragic fates.

I am now focusing on that reality for the time being, the starting line being finishing the script for it, and giving everyone their well deserved happiness.

...

Sorry for the unanswered asks, btw. I had been distracted to say the least.

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Casey: [looking anxiously at the crates, where a distinct snapping noise was heard] Did you just... kill him?

Leonardo: Of course not! That would be inhumane. [He stands proudly, gesturing to the unconscious goon behind the crates.] l popped his medulla oblongata, paralyzing him for life. He can still breathe and feel Purple Dragon sadness.

Casey: [scratches his head, looking confused] ...I don't see how that's any better.

Context: During season four of the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo drags a Purple Dragon goon behind some crates, where a distinct snapping noise is heard. This made a lot of fans theorize he actually snapped his neck, killing him. Video below:

Am I interested in Dick Grayson's innovativeness and how that makes him a terrifying opponent?

Nah, not really, no, it's no- EXCEPT THAT I AM!

I love your analysis and honestly, I always surf through the dick Grayson tag once a day to see if u have posted. Pls drop the innovatiness wala analysis. I would absolutely eat it up

ADSAJHFGAJLHADJLHA YOU CAN'T SEDUCE ME LIKE THAT-MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT!

But I am here to deliver *bows*

Let's start this off with a bang

Dick is completely naked except for a towel and with one (well defined) leg he hooks the handle of the beer bucket and sends it smashing into Midnighter to stop him from using the knife on another person.

Pure. Fucking. Platinum.

That move was so delicious, there's an ease-fluidity-grace-to that split second movement. Also notice how accurate his aim is despite swinging it with the arc of his toes. The bucket slammed right into the medulla oblongata, or more specifically the pyramidal tracts which are crucial for controlling voluntary muscular movements. Nerves from the brain cross over at that area as they go down and then synapse onto other nerves that are responsible for controlling muscles when they leave the spinal cord. The precision at which he aimed the bucket is glorious. And with what? His feet.

The only reason Midnighter wasn't injured is because he is a meta which is the point. Otherwise Dick wouldn't have aimed there unless he was fighting an enemy.

Oh that brings me to my next point.

Dick has extraordinary control of his actions

He's so right though. Nightwing doesn't need to kill because fighting is too easy for him. I swear he has some kind of messed up idea (aside from his need to be absolutely good) that killing someone with a gun would take the joy out of fighting. He loves to live life on the hardest mode only.

The rapid fire throw of the gun, calculating the distance, time, velocity of return, and angle? I mean I studied physics and calculating even half of that on paper is a headache. The fact that he did it in one second? It's extraordinary. Things that are pure, dumb luck to literally everyone else is carefully calculated at a speed faster than light, making it look like luck. Damn.

Yeah.

Forget Slade. Midnighter is my new favorite nemesister.

DO YOU SEE WHAT HE FOUGHT WITH?! WHILE DEATHSTROKE AND BLACK ADAM WERE FIGHTING WITH META POWERS AND A CURSED SWORD, HE FUCKING WRAPPED CHAINS AROUND HIMSELF LIKE A BOSS AND WHIPPED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT MAN.

Please take a moment of silence to relish in this sight.

Dick's innovativeness is a formidable skill when fighting allies.

Dick and Ras are evenly matched in sword fighting.

Wait, wait. I don't need any doubts about Dick's strength in sword fighting so I'm going to include a couple panels here:

Dick fights Azrael to a standstill which is absolutely incredible because Azrael solos. He's gone through many upgrades and skills and is one of the best fighters ever. He's even defeated Bruce.

He also defeated Jason and Tim together in Batman and Robin Eternal.

This is just another point towards the fact that Dick actually won in his fight against Bruce before going into Spyral. They weren't holding back.

Oh yeah. Ra's vs Dick panel, Dick and Ra's aren't going anywhere because Dick is a swordsman equivalent to one of the best in the world. So how do you win a draw? By one upping the opponent. He swings his foot up in midair and completely defeats him. "But that isn't a defeat...Ra's just stopped fighting!" It was complete defeat because Ra's is intelligent and knows when he can't win. Also they have been fighting for a while until they reached the breaking point in the battle. This move is a show of how Dick has that just one inch more that will lead him to be a victor.

Ra's honors Dick so much he tried to give the sword he used to fight with Batman because he thinks Dick is worthy of it. Can anyone receive a higher honor than this from that man?

He'll also use the broken glass of a car window to take down his opponent. If that's not innovation, then what is?

But one last thing since a car door cannot be considered innovative these days.

sticks. He literally took two twigs off the ground to use as weapons against his highly skilled, one of the best assassins, great-grandfather who is fighting with daggers in his hands and all over his body.

But you know the best part?

He draws his opponent to a tie. A tie? Not a win? No it was win after, considering he used his relative's falling body as a launching pad in the middle of the air when they were falling off the bridge to grab onto the bridge with the help of his friend. So it was his win but it's insane how incredible Dick's skills are.

It's really innovative because who thinks of using twigs and winning? Let me also clarify another point. Dick could've used the knives he'd gotten from his talon suit and thoroughly won because when he was brain washed he almost killed Red Condor from how skilled he was but he conscientiously chose to use twigs. In a sword fight. This man.

His improvisation is an asset that many have come to know him for and classify him as dangerous because he can fight with anything, anywhere, and win.

Something I want to end with. Dick only fights people who are stronger than him. I know he's fought mob characters and stuff but his enemies? They are all metas, assassins, skilled fighters, Russian Black Ops, and more. Essentially, people who are the top of the class in their categories and him defeating them equally and fairly is the reason why he has the respect of his enemies. He's just that good.

OKAY p1 doe and p1 fam hcs in general cuz im in a postal irritated mood and wanna liquid out my brains 💥💥💥 longread under the cut

- doe is 100% goth, dude is grungepunk industrial and redux is death metal (like nottem ehe)

- doe and dude are twins, doe is the older one in their duo. the difference in their and redux's age is HUUGE. Doe can supress dude's powers with her Older Twin energy. They have fights reaaally often in order to find out who is older one but they both know the truth. Just give them a reason and they will start a fight. dude is physically stronger ofc. But she supresses him morally HA. some time after the fights they braid each other's hair.

- redux cut his hair bc "NAAAWRR IM NOT LIKE THEM IM DIFFERENT" (all three of them are exactly the same but they wont admit it)

- redux is the main chaotic gremlin imp. i dont think that he uses his brains a lot. HE JUST ACTS. Doe and dude are more flat affected compared to redux and have more life experiences SO THERE IS NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT ANYMORE. Also their foile a deux is horrordous and easily spreaded among them

- redux is an interned kid. He also loves to hang out with BD and Alt, to watch anime with them. his favorite part is when alt and bd start arguing on anime and fight until death. Dude with doe cant understand shit in redux's internet slang. The twins dont really like the internet or any ray-tech or smart bc They Are Spying. U kno.

- "do u remember when we used to be lil shits like redux?" "No." "Neither do i." (They were lil shits 5 mins ago)

- despite all in-family-fightings they will kill for each other. Pack of hyenas actually. Only god might help to the one who upset one of them. One of them takes care when another is struggling (decays morally aha) for whatever)) reason.

- their siblings bond is very strong. They can fully rely on each other. Yeah, redux doesn't look like someone who will do the job right or do it at all, but in fact, he is willing to do anything for his brother and sister. And they will do the same for him. Just dont ask what methods they used to achieve their goals

- they can communicate exclusively in vocal stims and erratives and understand each other perfectly

- redux steals doe's merch/oversized tshirts and doe steals dude's clothes. All of it. dude can't afford this entertainment because doe's and redux's clothes are too small for him.

- Doe once dyed her hair in black and helped redux to dye his hair in bright red. and who allowed them to test the hair dyes before use? Duuuude

- these anemic creatures loves to consume meat by-products such as liver or heart. Also it keeps the earth less hungry.

The Caduceus - Magical Staff of Hermes Talon Abraxas The Wand of the Magi… "… the key to the meaning of the magic wand has been lost. The staff is symbolic of the spinal column of man, and this is the true wand of the Magicians: for it is through the power within this column that so-called miracles are performed. The star of Light at the upper end of the staff is nothing more nor less than the flame that burns eternally at the upper end of the lamp of the true alchemist. This tiny flame is fed by the pure oil of the transmuted life force." "The spinal column is Jacob’s ladder connecting heaven and earth, while its 33 segments are the 33 degrees of Freemasonary and the number of years in the life of Christ. Up these segments the candidate ascends in consciousness to reach the temple of initiation located on the top of the mountain." "Connecting the two worlds (heaven above and the sphere of darkness below) is the spinal column, a chain of thirty-three segments protecting within them the spinal cord. This ladder of bones plays a very important part in the religious symbolism of the ancients. It is often referred to as a winding road or stairway. Sometimes it is called the serpent; at other times, the wand or scepter, The Hindus teach that there are three distinct canals or tubes in the spinal system. They call them Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These tubes connect the lower generative centers of the body with the brain. The Greeks symbolized them by the caduceus, or winged staff of Hermes. This consisted of a long rod (the central Sushumna), which ended in a knob or ball (the pons of the medulla oblongata). On each side of this knob are wings arched over, used to represent the two lobes of the cerebrum. Up this staff and twisted around it wind two serpents, one black and the other white. These represent the Ida and Pingala." — The Occult Anatomy of Man by Manly P. Hall
