Best of luck with the finals, lovelies. Working on my last lab report for the semester (✿´‿`)

Smithy from Gavin and Stacey will be like: I will completely blank you when you propose to me (on Christmas Day) and then propose to someone else the next day, remain engaged to this woman for 5 years despite not loving her, while being completely insensitive towards your feelings for me, even though I know they are still there, because I want you to remain an emotional clutch for me even though I rejected you, I will persuade you to go to my fiancé’s hen night which you don’t want to go to, by telling you she wants you there (she doesn’t), I will keep the ring you gave me for the whole 5 years and then give it back to you at the worst possible moment to add salt to the wound, and then when you finally decide to move on, I will jilt my bride (but only because the whole congregation persuaded me that I shouldn’t marry someone I don’t love) and somewhat reluctantly declare my love for you, and then propose with no ring, still wearing the suit I was going to marry someone else in an hour ago.

And Nessa from Gavin and Stacey will be like: Fair play, nobody’s perfect

THIS in front of her fiancé was actually insane of them. They had no decorum whatsoever I’m crying.

Yay me!

I studied chemistry for 4 hours and 45 minutes!!!

I turned all my current UC notes into flashcards and continued revising my OC lecture.

My headphones glitched so I decided to not continue watching more of the lecture I'll do it that tomorrow

Take care

That feeling when you're writing a story and you want two male characters to end up together, but then realize that one of them has way better romantic chemistry with a female character and you can't come up with a good reason as to why he SHOULDN'T be with her instead of the male character even though you had a WHOLE storyline planned out for an mlm romance;

I'm up to date on my chem notes and I finished my math notes too 📝! I picked up my productivity again after a low by taking a hot shower and listening to Fabrizio Paterlini 🎶 Afterwards I focused on getting my mood back up and made up my 2024 vision board!! These will now be my goals for the year ^^

I’ll always find it weird that the way Rachel gets “over” her feelings for Percy is to have a new job as an oracle. Like that somehow is a nice way to end that thread??

I know Apollo tells her she can’t be in a romantic relationship because his oracle must have clear sight (in one of those supplementary books).

But like that’s kind of bs after reading TOA cuz he tried to force a romance with one of his oracles and cursed her cuz she said no.

I get it Percy////Annabeth 5ever but idk this could’ve been resolved better?

“og 4 aliens very particular vibe in being ‘three distinct flavours of socially awkward loner and also valentino rossi’” LMAO I WAS JUST THINKING THIS!!!!!! That he has the funniest possible 3 foils in that era bc like…those three guys could not be less his vibe ~personality wise if they tried. And actually tbf I do think they WERE trying a lot of the time. Feeling very curious if you think there’s anything to the idea of how Marc was the first alien-era rival he had who was more on his level all around? Like early days Marc was kind of just 😀😀😀 all the time but I do think he can be v charming and is clearly extroverted as hell (tho like…notably also a loner but like…not by choice??). Like idk where im going w this but the contrast is interesting to me. IDK

to some extent! I'm not sure I'd necessarily call marc an extrovert, you can be charismatic and cheerful without being an extrovert - but also this is splitting hairs. the og four aliens are one guy who's on the 'roughly as extroverted as you can possibly get as a professional athlete' end of the spectrum and three guys who are on the 'roughly as introverted as you can possibly get as a professional athlete' end. now, tbh, I don't think valentino massively minded this. he's extroverted but crucially he's also got enough charm going for him that he could get his rivals to chat with him if he was so inclined. he had an increasingly friendly relationship with dani, there's real genuine warmth in how both of them talk about each other - ultimately dani might have been quite sullen and withdrawn in general, especially in his early years, but he got on well with valentino. casey and valentino had perfectly decent interpersonal chemistry, they got on well, and tbh they were still warm with each in-person long past the point where that relationship had rhetorically soured. with jorge... I mean, okay, no chemistry there, but that was also very much valentino's choice. I do not fundamentally doubt valentino's ability to charm twenty year old jorge lorenzo. I think just because they were DIFFERENT characters, that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't valentino's *type* personality-wise, like he does seem to be happy enough to be the chatty one who draws them out of their shells in that scenario. unless competitive necessity requires otherwise!! but as marc discovered, somewhat higher levels of extroversion does not protect you if that's the case

I will say I know you do put alien-era as a caveat, but it is still important to point out that marc is very much not the first valentino rival who doesn't fall in the introverted loner camp. valentino had a rival who matched his vibe!! who he had a real proper off-track friendship with, who he went on holidays with, who he had a warm relationship with for substantially longer than the marc/valentino honeymoon lasted. I think you can see the early marc era as a bit of a return to the friendlier vibes of the early noughties, but crucially it is a return. the early noughties was the last gasp before the sport came to be completely dominated by a bunch of young prodigies who had been moulded into perfect athletes and had less chance to grow into people outside of the sport - valentino is already part of that camp in everything but temperament, cf the contrast with biaggi. in the early noughties, he was surrounded by a bunch of older riders who varied dramatically in disposition... biaggi was the guy everyone had issues with, capirossi was always fond of valentino, kr jr he got on well with, he played a mentoring role for in hayden's rookie season... and of course, most importantly, the friendship with sete - now there's an obscenely friendly rivalry right until the very moment when it isn't. 2013-14 is a bit of a return to that more congenial climate, but at the end of the day that lot were still less likely to socialise than riders were back in the day. they just didn't have the time lol

so yeah, I mean. valentino clearly did take to marc on a personal level, and marc is definitely closer to valentino on the introversion/extroversion spectrum than the three other aliens are. though that is also... not difficult. there is something quite funny about how 2006-07 went from valentino's pov. the engine regs changed, valentino literally blinked and suddenly all his opps were toddlers. went from goofing off with capirossi on the sepang 2006 podium to running a daycare centre overnight. and marc is part of that! it's also a massive change in that suddenly, valentino was surrounded by rivals who had been influenced by watching him ride as they grew up and were all really, really, really weird about him. marc with his little bike collection, jorge with his dabbling in pseudoscientific schools of psychology, casey and his championship-winning shirt, dani... well, tbf, I do actually think dani was pretty normal about valentino - probably because he'd known him the longest. had gotten drunk with valentino in the days when the bloke was just an idol and not a god. which is an underrated reason why the dani/valentino relationship never got so weird imo, one that goes beyond competitive calculus - dani was the most capable of interacting with valentino as just another guy. with all three of marc/jorge/casey, that idolisation dynamic does contribute significantly to the interpersonal turmoil

but that's a topic for another day! in conclusion, marc defo the dispositionally cheeriest foil of the alien lot, albeit somewhat by default, and WAS part of the reason why motogp got a bit of a mood lift in that 2013-14 period after what had just been a dire few years vibes-wise. mediocre racing, devastation caused by the financial crisis, tragedy... motogp was feeling quite lifeless in 2011-12 in particular, and those years do have a bit of a drab energy to them. in that sense, what followed was a bit of a reversion to the mean until the vibes completely went off the cliff. have they ever recovered? who can say

Messy sketch but them 💞

open to: F/ Mutuals/ Non Mutuals muse: Alexander Vanderbilt, heir to a wealthy family location: New York City, 19th century connection: your muse is a spirited seamstress working for his family/any other job that highlights the stark contrast in their social backgrounds.

As Alexander embarked on a leisurely winter stroll through the labyrinthine streets of 19th-century New York City, a serene blanket of snow draped the world in ethereal beauty. The crisp air tingled against his cheeks, and the ground was so slick with ice that he felt as if he could glide effortlessly across it in his shoes.

Suddenly, a distant cry shattered the peaceful stillness. Startled from his reverie, Alexander's senses sharpened, his heart quickening with a surge of concern. Without hesitation, he followed the urgent call, his steps hastening. Drawing nearer, his eyes fell upon the source of the commotion—[your muse] floundering in the icy water after slipping on the slick surface. With swift resolve, Alexander hastened forward, his breath forming delicate wisps of vapor in the chilly atmosphere.

Snatching up a sturdy wooden stick discarded nearby, Alexander forged ahead, his determination unwavering as he closed the distance between himself and the beleaguered figure. "Here, take this" he urged, extending the stick towards her.
