When someone casually, briefly mentions peaky blinders and suddenly I’m 16yr old me staying up half the night arguing with strangers online over lizzie vs grace, having my gay awakening over tatiana, shit talking tommy any chance I got and catching strays on twitter because of it (😔) + being in a state of distress over the lack of historical accuracy💀

honestly it's so wild to me that sam and bucky's relationship has gone through the development it has, to the point where it's unironically one of the healthiest relationships in the mcu. from the steering wheel incident in the winter soldier, to their incredible "asshole i'm forced to work together with" dynamic in civil war (best part of the movie ngl), to them truly working past their differences and genuinely growing to care about each other in tfatws.

and now they're at a point where bucky dropped everything to comfort sam when he needed it, and sam trusted him to be completely vulnerable with him. and of course the canon "i love you". it's incredible to see how far they've come and i can't wait to see more of their relationship in the future.

The thing that gets me about making toph more traditionally feminine is the way it’s being treated as if toph has some sort of weird internalized misogyny for being too masculine when like, there is a whole episode dedicated to her and katara doing traditionally feminine stuff together and having a fun day. It’s not like she rejects everything fem it’s just those things aren’t really toph’s preferred way to have fun so of course she only really does it once in a blue moon.

F1 Fans, We Need to Talk About What Happened After the Race

Okay guys, this is going to be long, but I can’t stop thinking about it and I really need to talk to someone about it.

After the race, Max goes to get weighed. As soon as he returns to his P2 stand, MBS comes over to talk to him. Max hasn’t even set his helmet down, and you can already tell MBS is pissing him off. Max looks visibly annoyed. Right after, he heads straight over to talk to Charles. You can see him walking away from MBS with his eyes locked on Charles.

Charles turns to Max, and they have this quiet, kind of awkward exchange. It really seems like they both want to say more but can’t. Charles asks Max about the penalty, and Max just nods—he doesn’t say a word. I think they were both super aware of the cameras on them, and Max probably couldn’t say what he really wanted to. Charles definitely picks up on Max’s silence too. Usually, those two debrief a bit more after a race.

Charles then puts his watch back on, and Max returns to the P2 stand while Oscar is doing his interview with DC. That’s when MBS approaches Max again. I couldn’t really catch Max’s body language because F1TV stayed focused on Oscar’s interview, but something was definitely off.

Then Max goes to give his own interview—and it’s clear he’s angry. He keeps it super short, and Charles looks visibly surprised when it’s his turn.

The cooldown room was awkward. Charles and Oscar tried to keep the conversation going, but Max was clearly in his head. He laughed at their jokes a bit, but he still seemed really defeated.

On the podium, Max looked depressed when he walked out. And side note—did anyone else notice Charles squirming during the anthems? He looked dizzy for a second, like he might pass out. I was genuinely worried he wasn’t okay. I think that’s also why he didn’t spray Oscar as much—he might’ve been feeling sick.

And Max didn’t spray anyone either. He deliberately stepped aside to avoid it and stayed in the background. I honestly didn’t think he was even going to stick around for the photo. He did congratulate both Oscar and Charles with a bottle clink, which I thought was really respectful.

So, in conclusion: I don’t think Max is upset with Charles or Oscar at all. In all his interviews, he praised Oscar. I genuinely believe MBS said something threatening to Max in parc fermé. While I agree Max deserved the penalty or should’ve given the position back, I don’t agree with drivers being silenced.

The FIA is supposed to be a governing body that protects the drivers and enforces the rules fairly. How can they do that if they can’t even handle criticism? Max doesn’t deserve hate just because he’s not allowed to speak his mind. The drivers can’t speak up against the FIA, but we, as fans, can.

I don’t know what we can do exactly, but I do know we need to do something.

If you made it this far—thank you for listening to my rant. Happy for Max’s P2 and Charles P3!

I swore that I remembered a very early season one promo that had an alternate version of the 'bull in the car lot scene' in 1.05 in which Owen had clown gear on... and guess what? I have FINALLY found it, y'all.

BEHOLD!!

things we know about the silken squall:

they have a drama club! dorian was in it!

rulers willing to put their children under a zone of truth spell if they were suspected of lying

a nomadic society, historically traveling worldwide, but in dorian and cyrus' lifetime they have never left marquet

rulers who left the city for years of wandering in their youths, but then pretended this never happened/wasn't the norm in order to keep their sons cloistered within the city

all air genasi are welcome! non-air genasi are also welcome--under strict guard

they have no formal monarchy, but a monarchy is nevertheless the closest to what their system of governance is. dorian frames his parents' role as giving advice to any who ask, imparting wisdom to the community, but the position is both an elevated and hereditary one. should his parents die, dorian would be expected to take over this position regardless of how much or little wisdom he had to impart to his people

due to the cloistered nature of dorian's upbringing, he had no friends before leaving and meeting the crown keepers. this implies some interesting distance between the quasi-royal family and, well. anyone else who could have been dorian's friend growing up

dorian and cyrus' formal dress included laurel headpieces denoting their status as quasi-princes

at some earlier time in dorian's life, he attended a court dance (not even a ball) where an uninvited guest showed up. to quote dorian, they were "killed immediately" due to walking into an environment where sensitive information between politicians may have been discussed

things we do NOT know about the silken squall:

what the fuck is up with all that

One of my favorite things about Granada Holmes is the fact that it starts with the relationship between Holmes and Watson already established. They've been living together a few years already, and we get a fast yet wonderful glimpse at what that relationship is within the first few minutes of the first episode.

Watson comes in worried about Holmes' mood and then his health (when he thinks he's been on the drugs).

We have Holmes sort of playing a little prank on Watson. Going on and on about how he hates being bored and that's why he uses drugs, only to reveal that he actually has a case and hadn't touched the syringe at all.

He asks Watson for his deductions and celebrates when he's right.

Holmes bought Watson some cigars!! "You see, I was not unmindful of your return".

Then they get to meet the client together as partners. "I am lost without my Boswell"

In quite rapid succession we have a series of little moments and interactions that lay out exactly who these characters are and what their relationship is like. Not even 10 minutes in and you feel like you've known these characters for years. That's wonderful writing imo
