Wednesday 100: Thanksgiving Double Feature
Grateful
Claire was cleaning her instruments when she realized it was the fourth Thursday of November. She hadn’t thought about Thanksgiving in quite some time; were they in the 1960s, she and Bree would have made a small meal to celebrate. Here and now, they had their whole family and Claire was more grateful than ever. So, she asked that Mrs. Bug and Lizzie go all out with dinner that day. She sent Ian on a turkey hunt, Marsali helped clean the bird while Fergus chased the children, and Bree and Roger were in charge of decorating the table with wildflowers.  
***
Thankful
Claire told Jamie the tradition of Thanksgiving and as he sat at the head of their table, he knew exactly what he was thankful for. The room was loud — Marsali and Bree were sharing the latest Ridge gossip, Fergus and Ian were exchanging lewd jokes, and Roger was telling the children the story of the first Thanksgiving (save Germain who chose to partake in his Papa’s conversation instead). Jamie never took his eyes off Claire and her gaze held him in return. How long had they dreamed of this? Her eyes shone with satisfaction and he prayed they always would.

At the time of posting (5:17 UTC) Curiosity has been on Mars for 11 Earth years!
There's a post claiming that Curiosity sings itself happy birthday each year - it did it's first year, but it hasn't since. Power is an in-demand resource, especially this year when we're in the dead of winter with an aging battery and still trying to pack in science as we climb Mount Sharp!
This past earth year has been a great one for the decade-old rover. We crossed into the sulfate region, which contains more "salty" minerals which probably formed later in Mars' history when the planet was transitioning from its wet past to its dry present.
Tumblr media
Despite this we still saw evidence of past water, which we thought we'd left behind lower down the mountain!
We're not just looking down with our robot geologist - the present climate is a treasure trove. It's the middle of the cloudy season on Mars, and earlier this year Curiosity saw some stunning twilight clouds lit by the just-set sun. This included seeing crepuscular rays for the first time on Mars, and a stunning, feather-like cloud.
Tumblr media
Curiosity has faced challenging terrain from the hard rocks of the marker band to the slippy slidy ridge it navigated quite recently, but 11 years after landing it's still going strong with a team back on earth helping it navigate the challenges it faces.
Happy Earth birthday, Curiosity 🥳

Jottings: Season 7, Episode 3. Bloody newspapers, never get anything right
You will not need any tissues for this sort of dependable wrap-up episode, that probably packs a punch with regard to the books' timeline and helps explain some obscure points to show-only people, like me. Ice-cream is still a welcome side addition (B&J's Cookie Vermont-ster, this week), though: it is, after all, a very hot, sleepless summer in Europe.
Timeline and our attention are split between 1776 at Fraser's (f)Ridge and somewhere around 1978 in Inverness. While there is drama at the Ridge (the fire at the Big House, the Bugs, the Jacobite gold), in Scotland all the emotions of homecoming are quickly turning into a muffled affair, thanks to SS's evergreen DGAF monotony.
Spoiler: Bree's line while seated with Roger on the front steps of a -now- derelict Lallybroch ("I'm really happy right here") sounds and translates exactly like the supremely anticlimactic "I'm your daughter" (The Birds and the Bees). I will never, ever, ever forgive SS for that and I can only be relieved this time it wasn't such a big deal, in the great scheme of things. Or was it?
Unpopular opinion: Claire's Ave Maria fell a bit flat in these Catholic ears. I was expecting more, given the uber-dramatic context, and found it wanting. But this fleeting disappointment was soon enough redeemed with the soulfully subtle wink to Robert Frost's Death of a Hired Man ("Yes, what else but home?/It all depends on what you mean by home. /(...) ‘Home is the place where, when you have to go there,/They have to take you in.’). Immaculately delivered by C. - the woman does understand and feel poetry, and that, my friends, is a rare gift.
John Bell will surprise you in a very, very good way. Puck grew up. I see great things.
The J&C/S&C bubble: unsinkable. Because 'a thing of beauty is a joy forever'. And, it is my absolute conviction (along with Keats', of course) "it will never pass into nothingness".
Overall, we get all the right vibes from fizzled out Season 4 and underrated Season 5 in this episode that brings the Frasers back to Bree & Roger's humble pioneer cabin, for lack of a better solution.
For obvious reasons, I cheered and booed at the 'blood of my blood` scene, featuring C's new sgian-dubh (FYI, the handle fits perfectly in her palm). I admit, I sometimes am a vainglorious cretin (wee joke, Antis), but hey: it's been a while since we haven't seen knives and blades so prominently featured in this gunpowder, treason and plot segment of the saga.
With Vandervaart still off my radar, this rushed transition left me a bit hungry for more. Ever the optimist, I can only hope next week will be bigger, brighter, better and more. And the kilt is back (what's not to like, I wonder), because tee-hee, J&C are on their way to Scotland, too.
Little do they know, however. Onwards!

Stydia #20 😘
Christina! This is such a good prompt, since they both have a myriad of scars to choose from (should I be happy or sad about that?)
Takes place post-series, but references the time Lydia was attacked by a kanima in season 5
“One normal date. That’s all I ask.”
Lydia laughs sharply, stumbling under the weight of her boyfriend’s arm slung around her shoulders. “You’re asking too much.”
“Well, fuck me, then.”
He obviously means it as an expression of frustration, but Lydia still seizes upon the opportunity to joke. “Mm-mmm. Not while you’re bleeding.”
They burst into their motel room, which is trashier than usual. No lobby, no elevator, no breakfast, and despite the No Smoking sign on the door there’s still an ashtray on the round little table.
At least they got a first floor room, so Lydia doesn’t have to drag Stiles up a flight of stairs.
It’s been a rough year. Monroe has a seemingly endless army of hunters to send after supernaturals, making it impossible for them to stay in one place for more than a few weeks. College has been put on hold until further notice—although MIT made it clear that she was welcome back at any time. In fact, they begged her to return at any time when she announced she was taking a year off.
They can’t even go see a movie without some self-righteous asshole crusader firing a crossbow at them.
Well, at Lydia. Stiles, wonderful idiot that he is, jumped in front of her and took a swiping blow to his side.
Lydia peels up his rusted-bloody shirt and applies antiseptic. “It’s not deep. You don’t need stitches.”
“Thank god,” he breathes. His fists are clenched in the bedspread. “I love you, but you’re a butcher with that needle.”
“Thank you. I learned needlepoint when I was in primary.”
“Oh, cool. So can you stitch ‘fuck you’ into my side? The next time someone captures me and pulls my shirt off to torture me, I’d like them to read that first.”
“I’ll get right on that.” Lydia pulls a size-XL bandage from their first-aid kit. “Although a tattoo would be easier.”
Stiles winces as she lays the bandage in place, applying pressure so the adhesive sticks.
“Be good,” she murmurs, running her fingers over the edges. “Shh.” Her touch strays up over his ribs.
He relaxes, a little. As much as one can when a crossbow bolt has grazed one’s side.
His legs part, inviting her to step between them so her torso presses against his. Her arms wind around his shoulders, and his around her waist in a fervent embrace.
Even with him seated and her standing, her head is barely high enough to rest on top of his.
“Mm.” Stiles breathes into her shirt, warm and satisfied. “Oh, hey. We match now.”
“What?”
His fingers dance up her shirt, pulling the hem away to reveal the angry slash on the left side of her stomach. “I’m gonna have a scar, too.”
A shocked sound escapes her lips that’s part laugh and part sob, and she lifts her eyes to the ceiling. How has this become their life? Comparing scars and patching wounds in a dinky motel room?
Of course she remembers the day a reptilian tail sliced through her side, the blood that spilled through her fingers. Creating the wound that still scars her skin to this day.
Her only consolation was that the venom paralyzing her also numbed the worst of her pain. That, and Stiles.
Seeing Stiles there was also a relief. Numbed the pain in a different way. She had to be strong for him, after all. Smile at him, let him know that she was all right. Nothing hurt worse than his horrified expression.
Her fingers wind tightly into his hair. Clinging to him.
“Hey.” His lips are hot against her skin. “Looks good.” And then he’s mouthing at the pearly white ridge, trailing kisses over the scar tissue that will probably mark her for the rest of her life.
“Thanks,” she says breathlessly. Honestly, it’s such a simple gesture that she shouldn’t be aroused by it. Plenty of partners have done the same to her.
But the reverence with which he lays kisses on her, over the part of her that could be perceived as ugly or flawed, the utter sincerity of his compliment…that is what makes her weak at the knees, more than any sensual touch could on its own.
His hands stray around her waist again, but this time under her shirt, tracing the curve of her hips, the hollow of her spine. “We survived. Tonight.”
“Yes, we did.”
“Didn’t finish the movie, but we made it back alive.”
“Very true.”
“Call it a win?”
Lydia purses her lips, futilely resisting the inevitable smile. Stiles’s ability to make her smile is uncanny. “Yes. Call it a win.”
Send me a prompt and a ship!

My first fanfiction ever! I really like their love story and relationship, the fact that they are soulmates. I can't let them go. They inspired me to write again. 🍓❤️
I dedicate this fanfiction to @just-b-wilde. Thanks for your support.
PS: I will post it on AO3. Waiting for my invitation.

Strawberry greenhouse forever
Summary:
My alternate storyline of the strawberry greenhouse scene, when collecting scrap metal wasn't so important…
Notes:
A return to the happy days of reliving, the smell of strawberries in an alternate timeline and the bracelet gift that means so much. Survival, really?
I think, all of us want those supposed cut scenes, so I created alternative one for me and for you.
Song in this ff: Strawberries by folk band called Caamp - Track 5 on Boys (Side B)- I highly recommend listening to this song while reading this ff or during the specific scene.
English is not my language, so sorry for translate.
And last but not least, I would like to dedicate this fanfiction to JustBWilde and thank her for her support.
A few days after the first kiss between strawberries..
It was already autumn, the trees around the greenhouse have already begun to fall their leaves and decorate the paths around the building. A greenhouse and a small house with two rooms provides them with everything they needed for so long. A quiet place, the warmth of home and security. The greenhouse consists of a white metal, partly wooden structure and large window panes, along which stand numerous raised ridges with strawberries and a few pots with bush tomatoes. It has a glass roof through which the rays of the afternoon sun shine gently, warming Lila's contented face and the softly exposed caramel skin of her shoulder, where her sky-blue sweater has slipped off. Lila is sitting on the garden chair next to a gramophone, wearing a black dress with pink flowers and red-orange leaves that match the season. Her loose, shoulder-length hair frames the features of her face and her bangs fall softly into her eyes as she looks over the music records she found in the house left behind by its owner. She had finally managed to figure out why that gramophone wasn't working, she just needed to fix some sort of contact between a few wires. That's when she sees Five walking back into the greenhouse, she smiles and puts a record in the turntable- romantic old- timey music starts to play. Five holds two freshly hunted rabbits and walks through the double white doors into the greenhouse with a smile on his lips.
“Hey, someone did well today,” says Lila enthusiastically while he hangs two rabbits right next to the bunches of garlic.
“It was the snares you made, “he replies. “They are exceptional, “ with obvious admiration in his voice. Then, with a small look of surprise, he takes a glance at the spinning record on the gramophone, kneels down next to Lila, and then looks at her again, at the woman of his dreams, who also does not take her eyes off him. Proudly, Lila tells him: “I fixed it.” A genuine smile shines upon her face. Five glances at Lila than on the turntable and then back at her, as if he's not sure if this is the right moment..to...what he's been planning for a long time. He felt for this woman what he's felt for no one before: admiration, the need to protect her, the need to make her happy because she was worth it, worth all the trouble, all the hardship, all the pain, only with her could he truly be himself. Soulmates, flashes through his mind.
"Hey, I know that look. Out of it, " she says.Five looks at her with a bit of concern and then blurts out, “Okay”.
From his pants pocket, he pulls out a small package of brown cloth with something wrapped in it. Lila drops the plates on her thighs and reaches her hands up to it.
Lila asks in surpise,” What's this?”
Five looks at her intently and says, “Look inside”. He doesn't take his eyes off her face, the soft caramel skin and gentle smile, so many emotions churning inside him.
Lila is happy, for the first time since the birth of her beloved children, who are, always have been and always will be the most important beings in the world to her, she felt genuinely happy, seen just the way she is. He doesn´t want to change her, he doesn't want to be better than her, better than others, oh how she just loved him, she knew it even then.
Lila unwraps the cloth to find a beautiful handmade metal bracelet with braided wire. She twirls the bracelet in her hands a few times. “Where ´d you get this?”, she finally asks him. Five continues to stare intently at her face, Lila sees so much tenderness in his gaze. “I made it,” Five replies. There is a slight uncertainty in his voice, perhaps both concern and longing. A longing for her to appreciate him and return his feelings. Lila is disarmed at that moment, she smiles and leans toward him, their lips coming together in a tender kiss.
His lips taste sweeter than the strawberry jam with the homemade bread, which she baked this morning. Sweeter than their first kiss a few days ago. Astonishing.....
“You are so full of surprises,” says Lila.
Five puts the bracelet on the wrist of her right hand and says firmly but gently: “I aim to please.”
But suddenly, he straightens up and Lila is surprised. The music from the turntable keeps playing but Lila asks: “Hey , where are you going?” Five grabs his bag, grins mischievously and replies: “We just ran out of scrap metal.” Lila is a little confused, why he has decided that he has to go for scrap metal right now, but at that moment all she can think of is reply: “I will join you in a minute.”
“Okay, Love,” he says stepping out of the greenhouse and making his way along the path by the greenhouse to their subway station.
Lila leans against the back of the chair, chuckles warmly, and that's when she decides... She runs out of the greenhouse after Five, catching up with him just before the steps to the subway. She puts her hand on his shoulder tenderly, and that's when their gazes meet. And Lila says, “I think that scrap metal can wait for a while, don't you think?” Five smiles and just says: “You are right.” Lila steps closer to him, puts her right palm to his cheek and gently strokes him with her fingertips. At that moment chills run through his body, he closes his eyes for a moment, but Lila presses her lips to his and they kiss slowly and softly. She whispers in his years with velvety voice: “Come with me, love.”
Than she takes his hand, the bracelet on her right hand shines like sunset sun. This picture, hands in hands and bracelet makes him feel that maybe she really is his, she seems finally happy after all the struggles, tiring days and sleepless nights in alternative timelines and subway, and he's happy too.
Lila leads him back to the greenhouse, the leaves rustling beneath their feet, the air crisp and the last rays of sunlight still hugging the surrounding treetops. When they enter through the double wooden doors, Lila turns and asks him: “What about a dance? Would you dance with me?”
Five becomes unsure, dancing is not his prerogative. Killing maybe..But...Dancing?, he thinks over.
Meanwhile, Lila contemplates the records from the pile by the turntable..suddenly she looks up at him and sees the uncertain look on his face. “Five, it's just a dance, not a competition for a prize. No worries.”, she tells him reassuringly. Then she looks at the music records closely and says: “ The owner of this house is probably very fond of folk, there's Occie Eliot, Bears Den, Old Sea Brigade and Hollow Coves and....Oh, no way…. That one would be great.” She seems really pleased and tells him, “Its called Strawberries by band Caamp. So thematic for our greenhouse.” And five starts to think: She said..Our? Our greenhouse? Five is lost, lost in love and completely lost in her. She is everything he wants.
She starts up the record and pulls Five into the center of the greenhouse. Through the window panes , the last of the evening light streams in and caresses their faces. Lila smiles and says:” Give me your hands, Five.” She puts one of his hands on her hip and gently places her palm in his other empty palm. As the first notes of the song sound, they can hear the guitarist's fingers skim over the strings and voice singing smoothly. Lila starts to lead Five and smiles, they just dance in a circle and smile at each other for a while. Every now and then, Five steps a little awkwardly on the tips of her toes, looking down uncertainly, and that's when the words of the song come in: Be my light, sunrise laughing ’cause we stayed up all night. Be my map, and we'll leave with all the treasure we can grab, oh-oh. Lila says: ” Hey, look at me. Don’t worry? I am gonna be your map. I will lead you.” They move little in circles and she leads him. “Okay love”, he whispers in her ear. She puts her head on his chest and than quickly look at him. “I love this song,” she says..” He sings: be my house, strong and sturdy but far from town, oh. Be my home, just think of all the places we’ll go.”
He looks at her, eyes filled with joy and says: “It fits perfectly.”
But song continues Be my lake, summer sand and a strawberry milkshake. Be my pride, stay under my skin, don't let me take what is not mine. She looks at him and says determinedly: ” You are mine.”
… She is little bit scared to say it but than she takes the courage and blurts out: ” I want”,…but she does little pause in her mind too, little inhale and exhale …she can feel her heart beating very fast. She kisses him, this time little bit more passionately and than looks at his eyes, puts her hands on his chest than his shoulders, so he puts his hands on her waist and her hands goes under his jacket and let it fall partly on his elbows..”I want to be yours”, she says decidedly this time. He gasps a little. It was very surprising…
Be my blood, oh, I'd shoot the moon and it wouldn't be enough. Be my books, head on your shoulder with damn good looks. Song continues.
He returns her kiss with equal passion but then grows unsure and pulls away slightly. “ But Lila, I have …erh, I have never been with…”, he confesses.
She puts her palms on his cheeks, kiss him and says warmly: ”I know, love. Don’t worry. I ´ ll be your map, remember. I will lead you.” She smiles little bit and take his left hand to her breast and she puts one her hand around his neck and the other one in his hair and pulls him closer to her, she growls a little and kiss him passionately. Suddenly, she pulls away and takes off her sweater. Five is a little bit confused, everything is new to him, sensations and touches. Suddenly, she takes off her dresses and stands in front of him just in her underwear. She's beautiful. A goddess, Five thinks to himself.
The sun had already set but he could see her skin continuing to glow. She smiles at him mischievously: “Happy what you see, ha?”. He is petrified. He could feel the heat coursing through him, the hot blood coursing through his veins, his heart beating fast and slightly irregular.
What is this? Is it love? It was always her, he realizes. He is speechless.
Lila steps closer to him, pressing small kisses to his neck. She strips off his jacket and shirt and then takes off her bra. “You can touch me, Five,” she says with her velvety voice “ I am yours and you are mine, remember?.” He pulls her closer and starts to kiss her more intensely, like never before. He can feel in every inch of his body, that this woman is the right one.
But suddenly, she starts to giggle as he puts his hand under her armpit to her breasts, tickling her as he does so. He winces and pulls away slightly. “I'm ticklish, that's why.”, she assures him. He smiles and kisses her tenderly and than says: “Good to know, love. “
At the end of the song, they hear words: Be my hands, and I'll paint your picture, darling, the best I can. Be my heart, I've got you in the end, I wish I had you from the start.
Lila takes his hand and leads him to their bedroom...their first lovemaking is magical. The union of two souls and two bodies. They do not need more, in that moment she is his and he is hers. No alternate timelines or resolution to the next apocalypse. For now, this is their world. THEIR STRAWBERRY GREENHOUSE FOREVER...

What Cats Like:
1. Affection: Cats adore snuggles and scratches from their favorite humans, showing their love through purrs and cuddles.
2. Playtime: Cats have a blast chasing toys and pouncing on feather wands, enjoying the thrill of playtime with their human pals.
3. Cozy Retreats: Cats relish in cozy hideaways, whether it's a soft bed, a sunlit spot by the window, or a warm blanket to curl up on.
4. Daily Routines: Cats thrive on predictable schedules, finding comfort in knowing when it's mealtime, playtime, and nap time.
5. Exploration:From investigating nooks and crannies indoors to supervised outdoor adventures, cats are natural explorers who love discovering new sights and smells.
6. Scratching Posts:Cats delight in stretching and scratching on designated posts, keeping their claws healthy and satisfying their territorial instincts.
7. Fresh Noms and H2O:Cats appreciate a steady supply of fresh water and tasty meals, ensuring they stay hydrated and satisfied throughout the day.
What Cats Dislike:
1. Loud Bangs:Startling noises like thunderstorms or fireworks can send cats scampering for cover, making them feel anxious and uneasy.
2. Rough Handling: Cats prefer gentle pets over rough grabs, valuing respect for their boundaries and personal space.
3. Unexpected Changes: Cats thrive on stability, feeling uneasy with sudden changes to their environment or routines. Gradual transitions help ease their stress.
4. Messy Litter Boxes: Cats turn up their noses at dirty litter boxes, preferring a pristine bathroom experience.
5. Strange Critters:Cats may feel wary of unfamiliar animals, needing time and patience to warm up to new furry friends.
6. Feeling Ignored:Despite their independent nature, cats crave attention and companionship, feeling lonely when left to their own devices for too long.
7. Uninviting Atmospheres: Cats seek out peaceful environments free from chaos and commotion, preferring serene spaces where they can relax and unwind.

Confession: I never watched episodes 6.07 and 6.08 of "Outlander" last year. I knew they were intense (since I'd read book 6, "A Breath of Snow and Ashes") and I kept putting it off. Before I knew it, season 7 has already started.
I meant to read "An Echo in the Bone" ages ago but I'm finally reading it now, and it's fun to return to this world—plus, it's become a kind of tradition of mine to read an "Outlander" book in the summer. I'm about 2/5 into "An Echo in the Bone" and I'm enjoying it so far (although I'm not a huge fan of the Lord John Grey and William sections, ngl, at least right now).
But yeah, I finally watched episode 6.07 a day or two ago and it starts off with Claire over Malva's murdered body and I'm like yikes, no wonder I was putting this off 😂. But there's also some levity and breathing space even as Claire is dealing with her demons. I always like seeing Brianna and Roger, and it's nice when they aren't having to deal with a crisis of their own for once. And Lizzie and the Beardsley twins are in a pickle and it's kind of funny to see that Claire and Jamie have very little patience for it all.
It is very strange to see Archie and Mrs. Bug as just a normal part of Fraser's Ridge, having read all of "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" and the first part of "An Echo in the Bone." And I'm also soaking in the gorgeous Big House set because I love it and I love Fraser's Ridge and I'm sad to see it go. 😭
Also, how is the shoot-out and the Big House burning down two separate incidents?! I think I've blended them together in my memory.
Jumping ahead to book 7: I immediately recognized the name Beauchamp, and the book spells it out very clearly that he (Percival?) could be Claire's ancestor. BUT, I took an embarrassingly long time to recognize the name Randall. RANDALL. How the heck did I miss that one?! I am happy to see to see Alex and Mary's child come back (I'm assuming), and Frank's ancestor. I wouldn't expect anything less. I also love seeing Bree and Roger and their family at Lallybroch in 1980. ❤️ I'm veeeeery curious to see what their story is for the next three/four books since I really have no idea what happens for them. I also love the idea that Roger's father might have been lost through time.
Meanwhile, shit's about to go down in episode 6.08. 😭😭😭 I'm kind of glad I don't have to wait for season 7!

Two wins out of two for Bulega in shortened Race 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a double win in Australia for Bulega as he led Manzi and Oncu to take Race 2 victory. He heads into Indonesia with a 20-point advantage over his rivals. Stefano Manzi was fighting at the front when the race was red flagged. With his sixth WorldSSP podium, he leaves Phillip Island in second place in the Championship standings with 30 points. Can Oncu took his first podium of 2023 with third place, bouncing back after his Race 1 DNF. Race 2 in the FIM Supersport World Championship was a tense, nail-biting race at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round as Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) backed up his wet-weather Race 1 win with victory in Sunday’s Race 2. The race was shortened from 18 laps when the red flags were deployed on Lap 15 due to geese on the track, with the top three separated by less than a second consistently throughout the race. It was a three-way battle for victory in Race 2 as Stefano Manzi (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha), Bulega and Can Oncu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) fought hard for victory. Bulega took the lead at the start and held on until Lap 10 when Manzi overtook his compatriot at Turn 2 to take the lead of the race for the first time. On Lap 13, Bulega responded down the pit straight to pass Manzi and re-take the lead of the race for his second win of the 2023 after the race was red-flagged due to Cape Barren geese on track on Lap 15 of the originally scheduled 18. As two-thirds race distance had been completed, the race was not restarted with Bulega in first place, Manzi second and Turkish star Oncu in third place. The trio were really separated by more than half-a-second throughout the race, with the gap between the top three just 0.665s at the end of the race. Marcel Schroetter (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) claimed his best WorldSSP result with fourth spot and it also ensured four manufacturers were represented in the top four with Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki and MV Agusta. Schroetter had to fight his way up the order and he was eventually 1.4s clear of Glenn van Straalen (EAB Racing Team) in fifth place, while Jorge Navarro (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) was sixth on his first WorldSSP weekend. Home hero Oli Bayliss (D34G Racing) took 10th spot.

P1 | Nicolo Bulega | Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team "What a way to start the season. To win the first two races in a row is incredible. Thanks to my team because they did a really good job. It was a very good fight, a clear one with Manzi and Oncu. I really enjoyed it, even more because I won. It was a very fun race. I'm really happy and I will enjoy it! Last year I missed the podium in Mandalika, but I was fast all weekend. I think this year we can be competitive there because I feel stronger than in 2022. My bike is also stronger so I believe we can be fast in Mandalika."

Simon “Ghost” Riley HC Face
Alrighty so I’ve been following the Call of Duty franchise for years since I was like in elementary school, and Ghost is my fav character. I’m now an artist, still studying art, sub-majoring in illustration and graphic design in art college. Today I was having an design history class and I need to move my hand, so I was like, “What does Ghost look like?” So throughout those 3 hours of lecture I scoured the internet for how he looks like, then sketched his face (in my style, semi-realistic, semi-manga-ish? I don’t even know lol but let’s go on a journey here.)
⚠️This is just my interpretation and not canon at all. Just a fan researching stuff and doing art. You can agree or disagree with it as you like.
1. Okay, so first off, age. Ghost is a lieutenant. The Call of Duty wiki didn’t specify his age, but typically someone could join the military aged 17-18 (UK’s minimum is 16), so let’s assume he joined during his teenage days. Being a lieutenant, that means he’s probably in his mid-to-late 20s, almost 30.
2. Height and Build. According to CoD wiki, he’s 6 feet 4 ½ inches or 189 cm. Muscular and athletic build. WIDE SHOULDERS™ (Who am I kidding. Man’s a SAS soldier. He’s a venti size FOR SURE). He’s also the tallest out of all the 141 according to CoD wiki.
Now, into the face.
The only face he’s shown is this picture below from the Modern Warfare Ghost comic.
Tumblr media
3. Facial Features - Black/dark brown hair, brown eyes (there’s a controversy about Ghost’s eye color about them being blue, but from the comics and the reboot!Ghost, I stayed with brown), hooded eyes, full lips, defined jaw, deep eyes, thick supraorbital ridge, long face, and a prominent chin and jaw.
Next, is from the reboot!Ghost from warzone!
Tumblr media
Different balaclava design! I dig it. Now, here’s my observation. When in the OG MW series we can’t see Ghost’s eyes because of the shades, we now can because he doesn’t wear one. Dark brown eyes, yes. BUT, his eyes aren’t that hooded. If you see season 2 and 3 cinematics, we can see his eyelids. I’m a little conflicted on this one, but okay, I’ll take it.
4. Voice and Past - Ghost’s been through a LOT. He didn’t have a happy childhood, betrayed by his superior, tortured by Roba, entire family killed around Christmas time where you should be spending them with your family, and then he got betrayed by that sh*thead Sh*p*rd. Craig Fairbrass (the voice of OG Ghost) was quite the cockney accent with calm and collected tone, but Jeff Leach’s voice is more angry at everything vibe and has that harsh tone color. So I reckon he’s a bit of a grump, hypervigilant, but a little bit edgy and sad :(
5. Hair - He wears the balaclava most of the time to hide his face, and considering during the ending of MW19 he doesn’t even have an official photo, he must RARELY took it off. Wearing the balaclava most of the time must be HOT as hell, so I’m going with a medium haircut, but still following the comic’s style. He’d grow a beard, but maybe just a stubble or 5 o’clock shadow.
Considering all the points above, I drew the sketches of his like I’m a criminal sketch artist LMAO. Complete with the GIFs so you and I can imagine what he looks like when reading fanfics or something.
Note : On the 6th pic, I HC the Reboot!Ghost using black face paint like the Winter Soldier, because now his eyes are visible, but the eyelids and under eyes are colored black. So there’s that. Also, man’s new balaclava has like 2-3 layers how hot it must be DAMN. 
Kindly share your thoughts! :D

Many special happy birthdays today! Happy birthday Cas! And happy birthday to @you-cant-spell-subtext-without and @reblogging4thewin!
"There's been a lot of firsts this year," Dean said, pushing a pumpkin across their outdoor table towards Cas with a soft smile.
Cas traced his hand along the ridges of the pumpkin; the one he'd picked with Dean at the pumpkin patch that morning. Even though Dean had said it was far too early in the season for pumpkins, he'd still smiled warmly as Cas wandered around the maze of fruits choosing the ones he wanted.
Shifting his eyes to the orange and yellow pansies and dahlias they'd both just spent the last hour planting, Cas let out a content hum. Every day felt like a new first, and Cas wanted a million more firsts with Dean.
"And today is one of those firsts?" Cas asked, even though he knew it was. He'd known from the moment he'd opened his eyes that morning; a single rose perched on his nightstand with a little note from Dean that said, 'Meet me in the kitchen, handsome.'
Pancakes with syrup and French Toast covered their newly painted sky-blue kitchen table, and when Dean had pulled him into a soft kiss, Cas had almost melted at the tender way Dean's fingers stroked along his jaw. "Happy birthday, Cas," Dean had murmured against his lips, and God, Cas swore he fell even more in love with Dean at that moment.
"Yes, today is one of those firsts," Dean said, shaking Cas from his reminiscing of their morning together. He watched for a moment as Dean picked up a knife and cut along the top of the pumpkin until he could reach inside.
"And why is that?" Cas asked, copying Dean's motions until he'd taken the top of the pumpkin off and started to spoon out the pulp into the bowl Dean had brought outside for them. Something about wanting to use the pulp to make Cas a pumpkin cake for his birthday. When Dean had proposed the idea that morning of baking a pumpkin cake for him, the thought had been so endearing that Cas had leaned across the kitchen table to kiss Dean once… okay maybe twice. Alright, maybe a dozen times. Maybe he just liked kissing Dean.
Now, Dean reached out across their patio table, locking their fingers together until their rings clinked against each other. "It's the first time we're really celebrating your birthday. 13 years ago you came into my life and became part of this family. And now it's special because this is the first time we're celebrating your birthday as husbands."
As if to emphasize the words, Dean tugged on Cas' hand until he could brush his lips over the ring on Cas' finger. Their hands were messy from the pumpkins but Cas didn't care. Not when Dean's lips pressed so tenderly against his ring finger before light kisses were dotted across his knuckles.
"The first time we're celebrating Halloween together, here, in our first home," Dean continued, gesturing to the pumpkins they were carving into Jack-o-lanterns. Decorating together even though Halloween was still weeks away, because they could do that now. Here, in their little house they were slowly renovating. Here, where they were starting their future together. They could celebrate anything they wanted.
A cool breeze wrapped around them, causing red and orange leaves to dance along the grass and up towards the table. The perfect autumn weather.
Cas was happy. Really happy. And he'd known that for a while, but the slow-drawn realization was enough to steal the air from Cas' lungs. When he looked up at Dean, it was like seeing him again for the first time; a bright radiating soul bursting with love and potential. When Cas had first laid eyes on him, he'd had no idea what that potential was going to blossom into. That it would create love and happiness and family.
"When is Jack coming back home?" Cas asked, suddenly filled with an urge to have his family close, not because they were in danger, but just because he loved them.
"Sam and Eileen said they'd bring him back from their last minute birthday shopping trip in less than an hour. So we'd better hurry up and carve these pumpkins so we can get some space for them to make their own Jack-o-lanterns when they get back," Dean said.
And there was that smile again on Dean's face. The same soft smile had been on his lips all day, as if Dean was seeing him for the first time in a whole new light. Awe and adoration. Love and sheer bliss.
Thirty minutes later, they were still carving pumpkins (they might've gotten a little distracted when Dean tugged Cas around the table and pulled him down until he could kiss Cas slow and deep) Jack came bounding into the garden with a large bag in his hands. "Happy birthday, Dad," Jack said, placing the bag in front of Cas. Wiping his hands on a towel, Cas reached into the bag and pulled out a collection of gardening tools designed with bees. Handles on tools shaped like bees, overalls with little bees dancing across the material, and a small ceramic bee to keep in the flowerbed. "Your two favorite things, bees and gardening."
Cas felt his heart swell in his chest, and he placed a gentle kiss on Jack's forehead. "Thank you, Jack."
"Alright, Kid, grab a pumpkin and let's get craving. Unless you don't want to help me bake Cas' birthday cake?" Dean teased.
Jack quickly scrambled to grab a pumpkin, sitting down next to Cas and copying him as he began to carve his pumpkin.
Sam and Eileen quickly joined the carving festivities, until 5 large pumpkins had been carved and a massive bowl had been filled with pulp and seeds. The pumpkins were decorated with ghosts and faces, sigils and even their names. Dean nudged his carved pumpkin over to Cas, and Cas felt that overwhelming love burning in his chest again. Dean and Cas Winchester was carved into the pumpkin; a little candle flickering inside and lighting their names up in a warm glow. Just another reminder they really were married. Cas kissed Dean like he had on their wedding night; achingly slow and full of every last drop of his love.
Baking the cake turned into a family affair, with Cas watching from the kitchen table and laughing as everyone made a mess. Dean kept sneaking over to Cas and kissing him every few minutes, until Cas snagged Dean and pulled him down into the chair; watching Jack and Eileen decorating the cake, which included Jack shoving as many candles as he could into the top with a playful laugh.
Wishes were made, cake was eaten, and Cas felt more loved than he'd ever imagined he could feel.
Once the festivities had wound down, with Jack off to bed and Sam and Eileen back at their own home, Cas sat in the kitchen watching as Dean cleaned the dishes. He ran his fingers over the handle of the Angel blade Dean had gifted him this morning; tracing his fingertips over the engraving.
Cas Winchester. Husband. Father. Brother. Angel, you are our family.
The gifting of the blade wasn't lost on Cas; a callback to Dean stabbing him in the heart 13 years ago. Except now, all these years later, Dean has gone and stolen his heart. And Cas wouldn't have it any other way.
When Dean joined him at the table a few minutes later, tilting Cas' head to nudge him into a breathtaking kiss, Cas sighed blissfully. "I love you,” he whispered.
Dean shook his head, kissing Cas again and again until Cas felt dizzy. “I love you. Happy birthday, Cas.”
