Fake Voyager Episode: Tuvok gets kidnapped and forced to compete in an arena where telepaths fight one another to the death for a shot at fortune and prestige. He was initially kidnapped as 'fodder' - the aliens who run the arena will grab any telepathic alien they can find regardless of skill and they're essentially just there to be killed by flashier veterans of the bloodsport. The episode is mainly Tuvok showing off his tactical know-how and combat skills. We also get several flashbacks to him as a young man, learning how to fight both on Vulcan and in Starfleet. There's a concern that he will lose himself when forced into this seemingly endless battle, surrounded by violence, but in the end he prevails and manages to escape without killing a single person. He leaves the arena after giving a message of peace. Patreon | Ko-fi

Unnamed Goon: [Laughter] That puny 'Vuulcan' didn't land a single hit for all his bluster. Once I sealed his telepathic powers it was over! Huh huh huh… If I keep up this pace I should have him crushed beneath my fists in- What...? I can't move...? Tuvok: By now you have surely noticed it.

You are certainly a formidable opponent. Most would assume you to be a simple bruiser but that is not the case. You are a knowledgeable telepath - able to not only bolster your own physique but nullify the telepathic capabilities of your enemies.

However. You rely too much on one tactic and are too proud to allow yourself to look 'weak.' This was the ultimate cause of your ruination. While you gleefully battered my body about the field I was able to locate twenty two out of twenty four 'kobat sfek' on your body - points which will render you immobile for approximately…four minutes. More than enough time. It was a shrewd precaution to nullify my telepathic ability. However. I do not need them to best you in combat.

Even now, I am ten times stronger than you. Unnamed Goon: T-Ten...TEN TIMES!? [Imagining the sort of gruesome end that might await him, the unnamed Goon faints - leaving Tuvok the victor.]

Rewatched the episode of House MD where Kutner dies and I honestly think instead of killing his character off, they should have said that Kutner got a job as physician to then President Barack Obama and that's why he was leaving. Objectively funnier since his actor did leave the show to work for Obama and I know it would have driven House nuts that Kutner was ditching to go play doctor with the President instead of getting verbally abused for House's amusement.

The conversation between party members before confronting the Kaiser and Logic is kind of bittersweet and tragic in a way, because everybody talks about their plans for the future after they survive.

Some of them would probably never have come to make these conclusions had they not made it all the way to the end with you, but neither you or your party make it back to the train after ending A and-

jeez...

And would their doppelgängers ever carry out their final wishes after the fact??? Would they know??? Or would they just carry on in the world, as if the players had never got off in that train to begin with?

YET AGAIN I’m struck by the Savitar & Nora idea beam 😅

What ideas? Currently two:

a) s5 Nora actually getting captured by Savitar when she and Barry make their trip back in time, also Nora spills her and Barry’s whole plan to Savitar and calls him “Dad” (because, ofc, she thinks he’s Barry), so now she’s in his lair, at his mercy, and Barry is who-knows-where

b) s7/Present Nora has flashes of s5 Nora—they’re not quite the same person but not quite different either. This is usually during dreams. But for some reason, this intensifies when she and Bart somehow land themselves in s3—now the flashes are more frequent, resembling visions more than dreams…or resembling memories. Maybe they get themselves captured by Savitar, maybe not (they could just cross paths with him frequently but keep evading him), but Bart is very weirded out (and highkey worried) by how much his sister knows about Savitar and the past in general

or you could have a story that didn’t require juggling

classmate who told me that they thought i might be a poser bc i wore "too much black" a couple weeks ago told me this week, slightly horrified, that they thought i might be "kind of a dark person" after i delightedly scrolled through stick figure violence images to show them + our other group member. no matter what at least i am still fucked up and strange in the eyes of normal people...

Lin Jarvis does a great interview on the paddock pass podcast, and he talks about getting Jorge Lorenzo as well as vaguely saying that they tried to get Casey but it didn’t work out

yeah, loved that interview! love lin jarvis! and yeah that's the thing... somebody somewhere isn't telling the truth because it's just... tough to piece together what jorge, casey and jarvis have said (plus supplementary reporting from the time AND the timeline of the valentino/f1 flirtations) and come away with an internally consistent narrative. for instance, I do think jarvis isn't like... lying when he said the f1 rumours prompted the succession planning, but also. valentino had confirmed he was staying in motogp by the time jarvis says they signed jorge, so it is a bit disingenuous to make it sound like they only did it because of the f1 thing. nothing wrong with it! succession planning is a good idea and the valentino/jorge pairing was a bit of a headache but ultimately a big W for yamaha! but still, jarvis is over-egging the 'didn't expect valentino to still be there' angle

I think we can be pretty confident that valentino didn't want casey in his team (which, a win for talent spotting) and was willing to express this opinion to yamaha - and we also know that paddock gossip held valentino had blocked the move. I think we can also be pretty confident that in mid 2006, gun to his head, valentino would have preferred casey over jorge as a teammate. first off, in mid 2006 I kinda feel like you bet on jorge's ultimate talent over casey's? idk maybe valentino's talent spotting REALLY came through for him here, but casey does look like a very fast crasher and jorge (well on his way to a first 250cc title) has more hype surrounding him. secondly, valentino was just more kindly disposed towards casey As A Guy than jorge - with jorge you do feel that, any competitive calculus aside, valentino went 'oh god not him'. keeping that in mind... tbh. I reckon yamaha played casey and possibly valentino too

the one time we have actual record of valentino not being too keen on casey in his team was when at sachsenring that year he made a remark along the lines of that it'd be better for casey to stay at honda. which, yes, you'd think would add credence to the 'valentino blocked casey' theory... but if anything, it's the other way round - because lin jarvis says they signed jorge in jarvis' hotel room at laguna 2006, which he remembers because jorge wasn't racing there (only premier class raced at laguna). that's the very next race after sachsenring. it doesn't really make sense for valentino to simultaneously have so much power within yamaha that he could block casey one race and fail to block jorge the next. according to jorge, they signed at motegi 2006, which is a bit later but also not... that much

casey deliberately implied that valentino blocked him at least once and possibly twice from joining yamaha. he said that ''''''somebody inside yamaha''''''''' *wink wink nudge nudge wink nudge* didn't want him there - and was bad-mouthing him to accomplish it. now, listen, this may be true, no evidence either way. we also know from reporting from the time that rumours about casey being in trouble for next year popped up in august 2006 (aka right after laguna). according to news reports, after having been turned down by yamaha, casey was demanding more money than honda was willing to give... and it threatened to leave casey without a seat. interestingly, casey alleges in his autobiography that he was told yamaha was saying he was demanding vast amounts of money from them - which casey denies. from contemporary news articles, casey was in danger of losing that lcr seat to dovi (who ended up only joining motogp in 2008), though casey makes no mention of his lcr seat being in trouble in his autobiography (but has more recently said he was left without a ride, more on that in a moment). there's also reporting he asked for a lot of money from DUCATI. at which point.... well, idk man

who knows how much money he was demanding! who knows if that was a sticking point with one, two or even three factories! or who knows if it was rumours that were deliberately spread to fuck him over. the one thing we can take from this is that valentino can't have been responsible for all these rumours (or, I mean I suppose he could have, but I'm unconvinced he had a vendetta against casey in 2006)

this is what casey has said recent-ish on the topic:

which... yeah, idk. the scapegoat sounds like he's talking more about the 2005 negotiations collapsing than 2006, though I guess the phrasing isn't super conclusive either way. maybe it was a tech3 rider for 2006 who casey thought he was being 'scapegoated' for... maybe not! I still kinda suspect it makes the most sense that they stringed casey along while they were trying to lock jorge down - jorge dates the start of negotiations around march of 2006. (here's a bit of trivia I truly have no idea what to do with: according to jorge's biography, valentino's lawyer was a friend of his manager's dani amatriain and gave them the in at yamaha. now, you may think this makes it sound like valentino did prefer jorge, but the biography ALSO directly refers to the story that valentino blocked casey and discusses the widely held paddock impression that valentino didn't want jorge at yamaha. so. idk man.) we know jorge was in talks with other manufacturers - so it makes sense to either a) have a fallback option and/or b) have another promising talent to try and decrease how much jorge's asking for. in summary: they were definitely negotiating with both casey and jorge at the same time. if valentino's sachsenring comments are anything to go by, then the negotiations with casey were still going on at that point - and if jarvis' comments are to be believed, they went for jorge at laguna. reporting from the time confirms that negotiations with casey had concluded in august. casey makes it sound like they essentially ghosted him

(while it is technically possible they wanted casey as a placeholder in 2007 for jorge in 2008.... that feels quite a lot of hassle, to shake up the team for a kid you're going to bin anyway in a year - and edwards' performances weren't offensively bad enough to warrant that. it's a possibility but not a likely one imo)

so................. uh. again, I don't really know, but is it possible that valentino just chose a spectacularly poor time to suggest casey sticks with honda - and that flamed rumours that valentino had successfully blocked casey? you certainly wouldn't be able to blame casey for drawing that conclusion. maybe valentino really DID actively work to keep casey away from yamaha, but is it that likely he was successful? if so, surely yamaha's heart was set on jorge anyway. idk, for narrative purposes I do like that valentino already had his eye set on casey by mid 2006 and apparently had more faith in his potential than the actual manufacturers did. it's cute! compelling. and I believe that bit! I just don't think any politicking valentino may have done had much effect on yamaha's choice - and it's easy to read too much into the sachsenring comment. maybe this just ended up being awfully convenient for yamaha, where they kinda fucked about with two young talents and then by the end of it both of them thought valentino was responsible. but also. I don't know, that's just my best guess based on the evidence I have, maybe valentino really was involved. idk. that's where we're at

B-B-BOYFRIEND!

pairing: bakugou katsuki x reader

scenario: he wants that cookie so effing bad but reader is oblivious to it all.

clueless.

you were damn clueless about what you were so sure you wanted.

look. bakugou didn’t mean to overhear unlike other times (ehem the sports festival) but you weren’t really being quite about it. often complaining to the other girls about how you’re looking for a boyfriend, how you want someone to be there for you yet no one seems interested.

mina in particular would glance over where he sat, laughing at your obliviousness. pointing out your blindness to the fact that someone IS interested but you waved it off like a fool as if he doesn’t cook your favorite food each time when he’s assigned dinner duty, as if he doesn’t walk by the road so you’re on the safer side, as if he doesn’t let you ramble whatever it is you wanted to talk about listening genuinely and how if it were anyone else he’d walk away without a second thought. yet you can’t see all the lengths he’s going through just to show you how capable he is to fulfill that role.

it’s getting to the point where he thinks you don’t like him specifically because how can you not get it? are you avoiding him by pretending not to know on purpose to lightly let him down?

fuck, he even talked about his situation with his self proclaimed friends and they all told him to just fess up to you but damn it do you make him feel like a fool himself.

“dude why don’t you ask her yourself?” sero genuinely asked, wondering why his strong headed friend who doesn’t hesitate in the face of danger become so suddenly hesitant when it came to you.

“yeah! be a manly man and just do it.” the red headed boy spoke all fired up, patting the unshaken boy on the back whose face never seemed to cease from its frown.

“what? don’t tell me you’re scared kacchan?” kaminari teased and for what’s probably the hundredth time he got blown up by bakugou’s quirk, again, he really never learns his lesson.

so when the end of the year party eventually comes up you find yourself cornered by the explosive boy. dragged firmly away from the crowd of your peers, looking at you with angered brows and an upset pout. you supposed he tried to look indifferent and unaffected but he looked like anything but.

“what’s up bakugou?” you asked smiling up at his sharp expression.

“you’re blind as fuck.”

“what the— not even a hello???” you asked incredulously at his unprompted comment.

“shit. okay wait, let me think. you are unaware of things you should be aware of.”

…blink…..blink...blink

“is this about the homework I totally failed? I told you not to bring it up bakubro—“

“no and don’t call me that!” he shouted, popping a red vein.

“why??!”

“because I don’t want to be your ‘bro’”

“what. you don’t want to be friends anymore?” you wobbly asked, eyes watering like that one emoji you always fucking send him. for instance,

you: THANK YOU!!

and many more but none of that ever clicked in your mind and so here you two were.

“no I want to be more than that.” he spoke seriously, red eyes set firmly on yours.

“don’t tell me….” you looked to the side shedding a tear as you leaned behind the wall further.

finally you understood.

“you want to be best fri—“

“FUCK NO! WE’RE NOT DOING THAT SHIT SO I’M JUST GONNA SAY IT.” he exasperatedly yelled, grabbing both your shoulders. breathing in once and out he spoke loud and clear, the feelings he held close and dear.

“I WANT YOU, YOU DAMN IDIOT! LET ME BE YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!”

“what?” you stared at him all startled and wide eyed as your mouth pulled downwards and eyes squinted to tears as you began to cry.

“what the— why are you crying!? do you hate me that bad?” bakugou asked hiding his hurt by wiping your tears away with his thumb as he gently held your face.

“no I want you too!!!! I just never thought you felt that way about me.” you whined planting your face in his chest.

“yeah no shit.”

“what?” you asked, slightly pulling away.

“nothing.” he answered shoving your face back in his body with one hand, relived that you actually felt the same way all this time.

inspo: “don't be scared to come put your trust in me can't you see all I really want to be is your boyfriend.” — Big Time Rush
