You are now reading Part 2 of my series!

Part 1 Part 3

The rumble of engines vibrated through your core, a familiar rhythm sending a wave of excitement. Two weeks since the cops and the car chase, and the adrenaline was back, thick in the grimy air of the deserted industrial park. A new place was chosen since the police were heavily patrolling your previous gathering ground.

Tonight's race was going to be electric, a head-to-head between Bakugo and Midoriya.

You knew the greenette had a crush on you. The way he stammered whenever you spoke to him, the lingering glances you caught him stealing – it wasn't hard to miss. A sly smile played on your lips. Maybe you could use that to your advantage tonight.

Standing at the starting line, you felt like a perfect match for Bakugo's car – a vibrant orange that soaked up the lights from street lamps and cars, mirrored perfectly by the conspicuous shade of his new car.

He had mentioned it to you over a call the two of you shared at two in the morning... it was a Pagani Zonda R, you think, remembering the blonde's smirk as he held the phone over his head, sitting on the trunk of the car, claiming it was supposed to be a surprise for you.

You decided to give him a little surprise of your own. A daring combination of shorts and a matching orange bandeau top, something that surely caught his attention. The outfit left little to the imagination and Bakugo's thoughts were running wild.

Bakugo, with a glint in his carmine eyes, sat behind the wheel, a dangerous smile playing on his lips. Lined up next to him was Midoriya, his signature curly green hair whipping in the wind as he fidgeted with the rearview mirror of what you presumed to be a Lamborghini.

As the crowd settled, a hush falling over them in anticipation, you notice Bakugo climbed out of his car. A slow smirk spread across your face. What in the world was he up to?

He swaggered towards you, confidence radiating from him like heat waves. Your breath hitched as he reached out, his rough fingers brushing yours, interlocking your hands before he pulled you close. Before you could even think, his lips were on yours – a rough, possessive kiss that left you breathless. With your free hand in his hair and his free hand on your lower back. This was sure to make it up on social media.

It was a blatant message, scrawled across your lips in a language only Bakugo could speak: you were his.

The crowd cheered and hollered and the small whine that you let out was a symphony to Bakugo's ears, a music that drowned everything else out. He pulled away, resting his forehead on yours.

You swore you saw Midoriya turn green (well, greener). He was frozen in his car, his normally bright eyes clouded with a mix of shock and…jealousy? The thought sent a playful flutter through your stomach. Maybe this race would be more interesting than you thought.

Actually, screw that. This race is going to be more interesting than you would ever imagine.

Pulling away, Bakugo left you reeling, a cocky grin plastered on his face. Then, he climbed back into his car with a wink that had your stomach doing backflips.

Composing yourself, you grabbed the microphone and addressed the buzzing crowd. "Alright racers, listen up! Tonight's race is a special one. The winner takes home the usual prize money, sure. However, we have some special guests! Everyone, please give it up for Endeavour and All Might!"

The two mentioned males reeled in, two of the most fanciest cars you have ever seen, no doubt custom made. One a striking yellow with hints of red and blue and another a crimson read, with fire designs lining the bottom and flaring up, both vehicles heavily tinted.

To say the crowd went bonkers was an understatement. People were screaming, throwing popcorn in the air, jumping wildly and flailing their arms all over the place.

"Calm down everybody. I know this is a big moment, having Japan's two greatest racers here is an unexpected surprise, isn't it?" You inquired through the mic, laughing softly.

Bakugo's face went red. Your laugh was... what was the word shitty hair said again? Cute? No, fuck that.

Your laugh was like music to his eardrums. He never wanted it to end. And the way you scrunched your nose told him that you were genuinely laughing and not forcing it.

"Alright you two, whoever wins this race will have the opportunity to be recognized by the duo of the racing world. Now, racers... Start your engines!" you raised a flagged fist in the air as the low rumbling of Bakugo's engine started up, followed closely by the wild sound of Midoriya's.

"Okay, you guys. Ready?" you grinned, reaching into your back pocket. They revved their engines, hyping up the crowd.

"Set?" you whipped out your phone and turned on the camera, turning your back to the two cars, which Bakugo loved. Your whole ass was in his sight and he committed the picture to memory. You turned on the flash as your face formed a little pout, and you clicked the shutter, capturing the two expensive cars in the background along with a whole assemblage of people.

"Go, go, go!" you screamed while turning around and swishing the flag to the ground. The sound of tyres screeching against the muddy racetrack filled the night, and both Bakugo and Midoriya shot off the line like rockets. This time, though, the race felt different.

If there was one rule about the racing world, it was probably to never let feelings get into the way. Emotions, especially uncontrolled ones, can cause serious harm on the tracks.

And that's exactly what happened.

Bakugo drove with a controlled fury, taking every turn with calculated aggression, showcasing his raw talent. Midoriya, fueled by a mix of determination and a silent vow to prove himself, pushed his car to its limits, weaving through traffic with surprising agility. One of the parts of the race was of course, a tunnel.

"Kacchan, get the fuck off of my car!" he screeched, as Bakugo closed in on him, causing his left side to graze against the tunnel wall. Midoriya knew he could've hurt innocent people if he sped up or slowed down too fast, so he had to bear the ear-piercing sound of his new paint job filing against the rough concrete.

"Damn nerd. You think you're better than me, huh? Tryin' to get her attention, you know she prefers me." Bakugo's grin never seemed to go away, swerving his car outward and just when Midoriya was about to get out of the small corner, Bakugo collied with his car again.

Midoriya's eyes glowed in the darkness. Bakugo had pushed him to his limits and sent him over the edge. Midoriya activated his nitro, pulling the custom-built lever in his car and sped off. Bakugo took this as a challenge and did the same, pulling out behind him.

The nitro kicked in, a boost of raw power gliding through Midoriya's Lamborghini. He felt the car surge forward, pulling away from Bakugo's Pagani for a short moment. But it wasn't enough. He needed to get even, to prove himself not just to the legendary people in the crowd, but to you.

He slammed his foot on the brake, taking a sharp turn into a tight corner. This was a risky maneuver, known only to a few seasoned racers who frequented this track. It was a shortcut, a notoriously dangerous shortcut. He gritted his teeth, steering with white-knuckled accuracy, pushing the car to its absolute limit.

"Think you can outrun me, Deku?" Bakugo's voice crackled over the race's communication system, laced with a sickening amusement. "You're just a useless nobody trying to impress a girl with a fancy car."

Midoriya ignored the taunt, focusing on the road ahead. His green eyes narrowed in concentration as he navigated the narrow passage, the concrete walls a blur on either side. Bakugo wasn't wrong. The car was a gift from his mother, a way to prove himself worthy, not just to you, but to everyone who doubted him. And a part of him hoped, a foolish part, that maybe, just maybe, winning this race, getting noticed by the heroes, would get your attention.

Suddenly, a flash of orange emerged from the tunnel and bright headlights blinded Midoriya's sight momentarily, causing him to slow down.

Bakugo, with a daredevil's audacity, had followed him through the treacherous shortcut. The space was barely wide enough for one car, let alone two.

"Where the hell d'ya think you're going, Deku?" Bakugo roared, his voice distorted by all of the wind rushing past them.

Midoriya slammed on the brakes again, the tires screeching in protest as he tried to create space. But Bakugo, fueled by his own competitive fire, nudged his car closer, forcing Midoriya towards the wall.

"Don't play dirty, Kacchan!" Midoriya screamed back, his voice tight with anger. "This is about proving myself!"

Bakugo laughed, a harsh, grating sound. "Proving yourself? You're a fuckin' joke, Deku. Always have been, always will be. Y/n knows who the real winner is, and it ain't you."

The taunt, the obvious and continuous disregard for his feelings, snapped something inside Midoriya. A force of raw power, possessed by anger and a desperate need to prove everyone, especially Bakugo wrong, coursed through him.

Ignoring the warning lights flashing on his dashboard, Midoriya slammed the gas pedal to the floor. The car, overloaded with power, lurched forward, a blur of green against the night.

Bakugo, caught off guard by the sudden burst of speed, swerved to avoid collision with an upcoming wall. He clipped the side of a stray tire left behind by another racer, sending his own car spinning out of control.

"Fuck, Bakugo! Get yourself in control!" you screamed as you watched the swerving car from the live on your phone. Midoriya's car was long gone and when you looked up, there it was, lunging at an impossible speed towards the finish line.

Hesitantly, you waved the flag, signalling others that Midoriya Izuku, had indeed won the race.

Bakugo's car pulled up shortly after and you, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, Mina and Jirou rushed towards the smoking piece of metal.

"Bakubro! You good?" Kirishima called out, ripping the smashed door open with pure strength and hauled the unconscious blonde out.

You dropped to your knees. '"No, no, no, no... Bakugo..." you placed his head on your lap, running your fingers through his hair as the rest of the group worked on cleaning up whatever nasty wound he had.

Your fingers brushed against his forehead and face, rubbing off whatever soot was on it. A groan pulled you out from your worries. "Bakugo!" you gasped in relief. "You're alive!"

The blonde opened his eyes, adjusting it to the lighting and was met with an orange blur above him.

"Course I am, shortcakes, why wouldn't I be?" he asked and he slowly rose, leaning on your body for support while everyone told him to take it easy.

You looked up at the huge crowd that was formed around Midoriya. Of course that asshole doesn't care. You continued rubbing soothing shapes into Bakugo's rough palm as tears welled up in your eyes.

"Don't do that again, Kugo. You scared me." you muttered to him, surprising him with the nickname. He chuckled, his body causing yours to vibrate.

Suddenly, Midoriya walked up to you, having brushed off the crowd who now watched from a distance.

"Y/n, listen-" he began but was cut short by your annoyed voice. "Stop. Don't say anything, Deku." you seethed, as the people around you began to whisper among themselves.

"Look at what you did to him! Look at what you did... to me." you looked up at him with clumps of tears in your eyes, rolling down your face and smearing your mascara, and a pang went through his heart. "You almost killed him." you continued, shaking your head.

"Y/n, I didn-" he tried again but flinched when you screamed, "Shut up!"

Shame burned in his gut, hotter than the engine of his car. He hadn't meant to cause this, hadn't meant to frighten you. He just wanted you to be impressed. You weren't.

With all of this commotion, people around you were silent. You grumbled, asking Kirishima for help with Bakugo, who was promising to take you out when he could function properly. The redhead happily complied, sending a glare to Miforiya as he lifted Bakugo onto his back and walked away. Mina tossed you one of Bakugo's hoodies and pulled your hand away when you hauled the cinnamon smelling article over your head. It landed at your thigh but it was so comfortable, giving you warmth against the coldness of the night.

Midoriya stood there, alone as the people around him continued to pester him even more.

He might have won the race, but Bakugo had won your heart and there was nothing he could do about it.

A few hours later, when he went back to his apartment and settled in bed, hoping to wake up the next day and say that it was all a bad dream, his phone blew up like crazy, messages and tags from every social media app.

He typed in his password groggily and clicked on Instagram, where some of his fans had tagged him under a couple pictures. His eyes widened when he clicked on the first one.

"Like, can I ride with you? @.Katsuki.Bakugo"

It was the picture that you had taken just before the race, your shiny lips forming into a pout as you raised the phone high enough to capture the entire background.

Swiping to the other picture, it was you, sitting next to Bakugo on a hospital bed. The carmine-eyed male sending the camera two middle fingers as you held up a peace sign. His stomach was naseous. How could you like someone like him? I mean out of all people?

"Or, let me ride on you👀 @.Katsuki.Bakugo"

Disdainfully, he swiped on the last picture, and it was one of you and Bakugo's hands intertwined. He read the last caption with anger and jealousy.

"My number one. @.Katsuki.Bakugo"

Pagani Utopia „Art Meets Engineering Perfection“.

The alchemy of pleasure, the equation of beauty. What would be important for the next Pagani hypercar? Horacio Pagani certainly had his own ideas, but he asked his closest clients, those who eagerly await each of his creations, to express their wishes.

They already had exceptionally fast and beautiful cars, what were they still missing? Three terms stood out almost each time they replied: simplicity, lightness and the pleasure of driving. In its development, the C10 project therefore went against the main trends of the time. No heavy batteries, no hybrid power, just a wonderful V12; no dual-clutch system, just a pure seven-speed manual or automated transmission.

All this to ensure that the car would respond better than ever to its driver’s every action and work with them to be the purest form of driving, a ‘classic’ experience defined in new ways.

The Pagani M158 EVO² V12 engine, a 6.0L biturbo specially built by Mercedes-AMG for Pagani, is the result of an enormous development work. It delivers 864HP and, above all, a prodigious 1100Nm of Torque. It revs higher and is both more flexible and more powerful while meeting the most stringent emissions regulations.

Julie Janet Fraser headcannons <3

(oc from ‘Divine Light’, a series I’m starting) (idk why her hair and eyes r brown in the gif, her hair is black and her eyes r actually green, this is just the only gif I could find of Alice Pagani where her hair is long)

• she’s named after Claire’s mother Julia, and Jenny whose actual name is Janet

• she is 12 minutes younger than Brianna

• she isn’t particularly a morning person or a night person, she can go to bed late and wake up early, go to bed early and wake up late, or go to bed early and wake up early, it’s just rlly random

• she got into painting when she was 10 and after years of experimenting with different mediums, she found her love for oil paints. Her favourite things to paint were people and landscapes, and her paintings of sceneries were always signed and hung around the house, along with some of her paintings of her family.

• she loved wearing skirts and dresses, and her fashion style was very angel-like, with lots of lace and light florals, but she also wore clothes that were very trendy as well when she felt like it (money definitely wasn’t a problem for them with franks job and Claire’s, despite the gendered pay gap)

• her and Fergus get on so well they’re brother and sister they’re best friends they’re partners in crime (not actually tho at least atm, we’ll see what happens)

• her and Marsali also get on so well, especially since Marsali never really knew girls her own age growing up, and she misses Jodie so much, so Julie would fill the void a little, but not take Jodie’s place.

• she can’t decide on a new colour, she feels like she’s always discovering new ones even if it��s the slightest difference from one she’s seen before, but she loves green and pink and blue a lot, but she also loves orange and yellow and purple a lot. She goes in spirals like that tiny one when people ask cause she can never decide and if she does decide on one it’ll change very quickly

• she view emotions as different colours: any shade of bright or pastel pink from blush to fuchsia is happiness, sadness is a dark shade of purple (#460457 - type that into safari and it’ll show you the exact colour), anger is an orange that leans toward red rather than yellow #eb4200, calm is a deep warm brown #542b16, fear is a dark muted yellow #8a8460

• her favourite flowers are delphinium, foxglove, bearded iris, Himalayan poppy, wisteria, carnation, and her favourite “filler flowers” are sweet pea, forget me not, astilbe, and spirea.

• like Brianna, she went to Harvard, but she studied Botany and Geology for her bachelors degree. Since Brianna was 20 when she met Roger, I’m just gonna assume she was doing a Masters degree, which requires an extra year or so, since she was still in university and changing her degree and people tend to start university at 18. I tried to find out how old people generally were when starting university in the 60s but i didn’t find anything. Assuming they did go to university at 18, Julie is done with university when she travels through the stones (we don’t see anything about Brianna graduating and I think that’s just because she changed her degree so to engineering from history so I think she wouldn’t have graduated when Julie did).

Thank you for reading 🫶🏼

I thought that nothing could impress me after Skyrim...

I remember seeing the first Tamriel night. I went into the forest, somewhere in the distance I heard the dull cry of a dragon, and when I raised my head, the sky was shimmering with the Northern Lights and twinkling with hundreds of stars. But the best decoration of this night etude were them - Masser and Secunda. It seems that the sky itself shuddered at the presence of the huge bloody moon and its companion. Stormy rivers, peaks of high rocks, the gold of forests and fields filled with the intoxicating smell of heather… After playing the game once, I didn't dare to play it again, no matter how much I wanted to. Because after Skyrim, there was Red Dead Redemption 2. And as my friend said, 'After Red Dead, all games seem mediocre.'

Red Dead is so unlike any other game that nature is the last thing you pay attention to. And when you finally notice it, you understand that nothing can be better than this. I don't know of another such game that could so accurately convey the subtlest nuances of light and the smallest changes in air. You don't see this right away and you don't notice it because you are busy with plot matters. But the less things remain, the more you start to look around and enjoy the beauty of the game. Only then do you see how the mornings are covered with a pink haze of fog and give off coolness. And the evenings are bathed in the warm light of the sun, which is about to hide behind the horizon. How the juicy meadows of New Hanover is replaced by the red clay of dry and humid Lemoyne. And rivers appear on your way, over which icy streams high bridges are thrown, grabbing the rocks with their ends.

Red Dead gave me back the opportunity I had forgotten during the years I spent sitting at home due to quarantines and war. It taught me to observe nature again. To admire such familiar things as the sun and the moon, trees and flowers, the movement of squirrels in the grass and birdsong in the branches of trees. To guess by the moon, shrouded in clouds, what the weather will be, and to look at the sky, foretelling rain. I love how the arid fields of the Great Plains suddenly become wet and suffocating, as if raindrops have frozen in the air. How nervous my horse is, climbing the snow-covered Ambarino rocks and snorting joyfully, floating on the white surface of the shining snow.

In general, I noticed that Americans love to convey the greatness of their nature. I remember how I was fascinated by the beauty of Need for Speed: The Run, so unlike the previous games in the series. The great race across America finally allowed us to leave the narrow streets of the city and forced us to compete not only with rivals, but also with nature itself. Climb the steep mountains while enjoying the Yellowstone Valley. Rush through the desert ahead of the storm and run away from snow avalanches. In my mind's eye, I can still see the red Pagani, raising behind a cloud of fallen gold leaves. Nature, it would seem, is the most banal thing in game design, especially if the game gravitates towards realism. Here there is nowhere for the imagination to turn, there is little space to fully develop one's skill as a designer. I once thought the same about the landscape in painting. Is drawing trees as difficult as depicting people?

American painting does not have such a powerful academic base as European one for quite understandable reasons - the history of the United States as a separate country, and the history of Americans as a separate nation, is much shorter. In 1582, the Carracci brothers opened the 'Academia degli Incamminanti' (Academy of Those who are Making Progress) in Bologna, which became a model for all subsequent art schools throughout Europe. And it was with the founding of the art school of the Carracci brothers that the term 'academism' in the fine arts is associated, since much attention was paid to painting from the nude (which was forbidden by the Catholic Church of the Counter-Reformation). The first successful European settlement on the lands of North America was founded in 1607. We can go further into the depths of the century and remember John White, an English colonizer who made watercolor sketches of the landscape and indigenous peoples of America. But this does not change the situation much.

American art in many respects at the beginning of its development depended on English art. So it is not surprising that the first attempts to create something like an academic basis lay in portrait painting and landscape painting. The painting of England began its revival in this period (the end of the XVIII century) from the same genres. But already at the beginning of the XIX century, American artists went even further from sweet continental romanticism, opening up new, previously unseen horizons. One such artist was Thomas Cole (a follower of the English painter William Turner), whose artistic pursuits gave the world the Hudson River School (1820).

The representatives of this artistic trend tried to separate themselves from European traditions, investing in their works other meanings inherent in American society at that time. In large-scale canvases, depicting the majesty of nature, they embody historical and religious themes. But at the same time, the landscape is not just a background. It is a kind of actor, whose voice sounds in waterfalls, rustles in the wind in the crowns of trees and echoes between rocky mountains. In their search, the artists traveled not only through the magnificent Hudson River Valley. But they also went deeper and deeper into the unexplored West of the country, which became a kind of Mecca for artists. These lands inspired such artists as Hermann Herzog, Thomas Gill and, of course, Albert Bierstadt.

The last artist, in turn, did not just depict the beauty of America with a moralistic undertone. Bierstadt, one of America's leading western landscape painters, encouraged the protection of nature and the creation of national reserves with his work. In his landscapes, he depicts indigenous peoples, raises the topic of the destruction of animals (especially bison), glorifies the historical past of this region and the people who inhabit it, and also metaphorically talks about the problems of today.

The representatives of the school, shrouded in religious reverence, promoted a realistic depiction of nature as a product of 'God's creation'. Ralph Waldo Emerson allows themselves the opinion that 'this pictorial transcendentalism is closer to the beliefs of the Native Americans than to the Christian tradition'.

This is how nature appears in RDR2, beautiful and powerful, on the border between virginity and barbaric attitude. If you play RDR, then looking at the works of the Hudson School, you will definitely feel that these landscapes are familiar to you. I especially love the south of Ambarino for this. Sometimes, making way between rocks and waterfalls, they seem so alive that their naturalism becomes phantasmagorical. Climbing to the very top of Mount Shann at the other end of the map, it seems that it is not the moon that comes out from behind the clouds, but a divine light that floods the Great Valley with a glow, where the black ribbon of the river flows below, glinting with silver. Looking around, looking at the entire Frontier, which lies as if in the palm of your hand, you feel like a god. But when you get to Saint-Denis, you realize that you are human. Because only such a miserable creature could turn the river into a swamp of fuel oil, the shore of the mangrove forest into a landfill, and the clear blue sky cover with smog. The environment in Red Dead is so alive and realistic that sometimes it is difficult to believe that it was created by the hand of a person, and not by nature itself.

The question of preserving one's history and nature is particularly well revealed in side quests, such as the bison hunting mission with Charles, or the Native Americans arc with Rains Fall. In these episodes, you can feel the end of an entire era, the once majestic West and the people of Native Americans, destroyed by the oppression of colonizers. With the same human oppression, which a century later will chain the American plains into concrete. Red Dead is like a glass fence that separates today from yesterday, sealing this world on the edge in itself forever, allowing everyone who wants to touch it.

The beauty of Red Dead Redemption 2 is completely different from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which beauty in the world of magic and dragons is designed to emphasize the reality of what is happening. In RDR, it represents the standard of the state of affairs in the world, which is about to disappear. The game seems so alive because its design pays tribute to its own culture and history, inspired by national art. Developers elevate the importance of nature much higher than just a good visual component. They speak it to us as the followers of the Hudson River School once spoke to their contemporaries. The artistic solution of the game touches the dark corners of the soul to bring light there and fill the head with thoughts.

One day I'll make complete review on RDR2. But this time I was accidentally inspired during my last session in game.

Pagani Utopia „Art Meets Engineering Perfection“.

The alchemy of pleasure, the equation of beauty. What would be important for the next Pagani hypercar? Horacio Pagani certainly had his own ideas, but he asked his closest clients, those who eagerly await each of his creations, to express their wishes.

They already had exceptionally fast and beautiful cars, what were they still missing? Three terms stood out almost each time they replied: simplicity, lightness and the pleasure of driving. In its development, the C10 project therefore went against the main trends of the time. No heavy batteries, no hybrid power, just a wonderful V12; no dual-clutch system, just a pure seven-speed manual or automated transmission.

All this to ensure that the car would respond better than ever to its driver’s every action and work with them to be the purest form of driving, a ‘classic’ experience defined in new ways.

The Pagani M158 EVO² V12 engine, a 6.0L biturbo specially built by Mercedes-AMG for Pagani, is the result of an enormous development work. It delivers 864HP and, above all, a prodigious 1100Nm of Torque. It revs higher and is both more flexible and more powerful while meeting the most stringent emissions regulations.

The Pagani Utopia powered by the masterpiece of an engine the Mercedes-AMG M158 EVO² V12 biturbo engine 6.0L 864HP and 1100Nm of Torque.
