Kinda a dream setup. Those Boogie Tweed amps sound incredible, and over recent months I’ve come to love that Gibson sound so much.

Weird personal fact about me. When I was going through the beginnings of cancer surgeries and treatment, and trying to come to terms with it? I ended up nicknaming the tumor "Junior" after the two resident worm babies that served on the SG-1 Team.

It helped. I didn't get a chance to ask if I could keep him in a little specimen jar after the surgery though.

F1 x Basketball AU 🏎️🏀

I’ve been working on a basketball au with the drivers for a while but haven’t been able to work on it until now..ish 🥲 and so i did silly little graphics for now. Combining two of my favorite sports = favorite pasttime!

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING THE POSITIONS HERE ARE SOME QUICK EXPLANATIONS OF THEM 🙏:

Point Guard (PG): is typically the team's shortest player and best ball handler and passer. A scoring point guard regularly has the ability to shoot from three-point or mid-range distance. A facilitator-type point guard often has a high basketball IQ, or intuitive understanding of the game, and can see plays happening before they occur.

Shooting Guard (SG): are prolific from three-point range and long mid-range. A key aspect is having the ability to patiently wait for the ball and getting free, while others pass the ball around and finally get the ball to make the shot.

Small Forward (SF): They can do just about everything, from scoring, rebounding, handling the ball, passing, and the ability to defend. A common thread among small forwards is an ability to "get to the line" and draw fouls by aggressively attempting (posting-up) plays, layups, or slam dunks.

Power Forward (PF): often the team's most powerful and dependable scorer, being able to score close to the basket while also being able to shoot mid-range jump shots. Power forwards are also very crafty and have to be versatile on both offense and defense and are usually have good footwork in the paint and are able to force players into bad shots or blocking shots when guarding the paint.

Center (C): typically plays near the baseline or close to the basket. They are usually the tallest players on the floor. Centers usually score "down low", or "in the paint" (near the basket, in the key). The goal of centers is to create possessions, and, therefore, opportunities to score, by rebounding and trying to stop the other team from scoring in the paint.

Rookie (R): fresh off the bench and now a permanent part to the starting lineup.

In this Au, I combined the “junior” teams with their respective top teams (except for HAAS in this they merged with Alpine cause let’s be honest… Alpine need the extra help to actual stay an organization so HAAS agreed to merge).

🏀TEAMS🏀

Milton Keynes Red Bulls 🐂

Bench players: Isack Hadjar, Pepe Marti, Ayumu Iwasa

Coach: N/A (Complicated)

Maranello Golden Stallions 🐎

Bench players: Antonio Giovinazzi, Robert Scwartzman, Theo Pourchaire

Coach: Frédéric Vasseur

Brackley Silver Stars 🌟

Bench players: Frederik Vesti, Doriane Pin, Kimi Antonelli

Coach: Torger “Toto” Wolff

Woking Papayas ✴️

Bench players: Ryo Hirakawa, Gabriel Bortoleto

Coach: Andrea Stella

Silverstone Angels 🪽

Bench players: Felipe Drugovich, Tina Hausmann

Coach: Mike Krack

Enstone Avalanche 🗻

Bench players: Pietro Fittipaldi, Victor Martins, Abbi Pulling

Coach: Bruno Famin (Interim)

Every choice for who I made the starting five and which position I made them are very deliberate. All were based off of who I think each team would start and what role would fit with their skill set. Also taking into their personalities a bit as well.

When i get the time I wanna expand it a bit more but for now this all i got.🥲 Hope it all makes sense. 🙏

Sir John Nott

Defence secretary in Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet during the Falklands war

The reputation of John Nott, who has died aged 92, will for ever be linked with the Falklands war of 1982. Nott was the defence secretary in Margaret Thatcher’s first administration and was extremely fortunate politically to survive one of Britain’s gravest postwar crises – yet it effectively ended his ministerial career.

Although the British taskforce retook the islands from Argentina after just 10 weeks’ occupation, Nott could not escape responsibility for his part in the government’s earlier decisions to reduce the islands’ protection, which had convinced the generals in Buenos Aires that they could launch their attack with impunity. Nor did he ever live down his ill-disguised pessimism about the taskforce’s chances of success. From being one of the Tories’ rising rightwing hopes and a prospective future chancellor, he left parliament for good a year after the war, with a knighthood; he was never awarded a peerage.

Nott was a somewhat forbidding figure with the air of a disapproving bank manager, a waspish tongue and a self-righteous and partisan manner – none of them attributes likely to inspire either the nation or its armed forces in time of national emergency. He had in fact calculated on an intermittent political career, sandwiching stints as an MP and minister between spells making money in business. Instead, his political career was over by the time he was 51 and he retired to the City, becoming chairman and chief executive of the merchant bank Lazard Brothers.

In that sense, his most memorable television appearance, a live interview with Robin Day in 1982 when he flounced out in an undignified huff on being referred to as a “here today, gone tomorrow” politician, was apposite. Indeed, 20 years later he entitled his autobiography Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (2002).

Born in Bromley. south-east London, John was the son of Phyllis (nee Francis) and Richard Nott, a rice broker from a West Country military family. On leaving Bradfield college, Berkshire, he served as a subaltern with the Gurkha Rifles during the Malayan emergency and was for a period the ADC to the commander-in-chief of British far east forces, before going to Trinity College, Cambridge, to study law and economics. He became president of the Cambridge Union and, on graduation, was called to the Bar, although he never practised as a lawyer. Instead he joined SG Warburg, the merchant bank, and remained there for eight years.

At Cambridge he met Miloska Sekol, a Slovenian refugee, who was studying English. The story went that Nott told her at their first meeting, in 1959, that he intended to marry her – a remarkable gesture from such an apparently staid and undashing figure, and an approach that appears to have taken her by surprise. She wrote in her diary that night: “What a cheek, how preposterous!” They married the same year.

Nott entered the Commons at the 1966 general election as MP for St Ives in Cornwall. He spent the rest of his life living in the county and promoting what he saw as its interests, calling for improved rail links west of Plymouth, and opposing incursions by French fishermen and the Anglo-French Concorde project. But it was as a bone-dry, rightwing economist, suspicious of the EU and pro-Commonwealth, that he made his mark: serving as an opposition economics spokesman and, after the Conservatives returned to power in 1970, becoming a junior Treasury minister, focusing on matters such as tax reform.

After Edward Heath’s 1974 defeat, however, he refused to become an opposition spokesman. He returned to the City as a consultant and to his Cornish estate, where he grew flowers commercially. Thatcher’s leadership was more to his liking and the rising Tory tide in favour of monetarism more ideologically congenial. “The party has almost found its soul again,” he told readers of the Daily Telegraph. He returned to the opposition frontbench, harrying the chancellor Denis Healey with a sharp wit.

Thatcher saw him as a kindred spirit, identified him as a rising star and, when the Tories returned to power in 1979, rewarded him by making him trade secretary. He naturally enthusiastically supported cuts in public spending, but also supported the expansion of London’s airports: a fourth terminal at Heathrow, a second runway at Gatwick and expansion at Stansted formed his most tangible legacy.

Then, in 1981, as the prime minister turned against the wets, Nott was moved to defence, to shake up the department and cut without squeamishness. He quickly decided that the priority was defence against the Soviet Union, not the promotion of worldwide, post-imperial pretensions, which was unfortunate in the light of what was to happen the following year in the South Atlantic. “Our first priority had to be credible deterrence from Soviet aggression on mainland Europe, decidedly not equipping ourselves for another Suez or post-colonial war,” he wrote later, and he proceeded to strengthen the army at the expense of the Royal Navy, targeting the service’s last aircraft carrier for closure.

Among the lesser cuts was a plan to scrap the gunboat Endurance, which guarded the Falklands. That, and the ruminations of his fellow rightwinger and Thatcherite rising star Nicholas Ridley that the islands were dispensable, sent a clear message to the junta. Had the Argentinian generals been a little more patient, Nott might single-handedly have made the taskforce that was subsequently launched impossible. As it was, he lost the navy minister to resignation and earned the lasting hostility of the first sea lord, Sir Henry Leach, who later wrote that he despised Nott’s performance.

Accordingly, when some Argentinian scrap metal merchants landed on South Georgia Island, sparking conflict, the government was taken by surprise. Nott later confessed that he had to look up where the Falkland Islands were on the globe in his office and he was immediately pessimistic of the chances of recovering them: it was Leach who seized the initiative to prove the navy’s worth and urged the prime minister, against her defence secretary’s advice and instincts, to mobilise an immediate taskforce to retake the islands. Nott’s insistence to MPs during that weekend’s emergency Commons debate that “no other country could have reacted so fast and the preparations have been in progress for several weeks. We were not unprepared” was therefore at best being economical with the truth.

When, 10 weeks later, the islands were retaken, albeit at considerable human cost, Nott received little of the credit and none of the glory within the party – that all went to Thatcher – or in the country, which was more inclined to credit the bravery and resilience of the troops than the triumphalism of politicians. His pretensions to succeed Howe as chancellor, or indeed any ambitions he might have harboured one day to follow Thatcher as prime minister, a possibility that had been occasionally mooted by some of the party’s zealouts, were at an end.

Before Thatcher’s post-Falklands general election landslide victory the following year, Nott chose to stand down as an MP. He could see the way the wind was blowing: the naval cuts were reversed. “The admirals have got their fucking gin palaces back,” he told friends. There was a certain degree of bitterness, too, even towards the prime minister herself. “The full cabinet was never more than a rubber stamp,” he said in a later BBC interview, accusing Thatcher of fostering a cult of personality: “Like all ambitious women, she thinks all men are feeble and that gentlemen are even more feeble.”

Back in the City, he accumulated directorships and money: chairman of Lazard, director of Royal Insurance, chairman of the food company Hillsdown Holdings, and of the clothing retailer Etam, and an adviser to the law firm Freshfields. He only occasionally intervened in politics: vociferously opposing the euro from an early stage and calling for early intervention in the 1990s Balkans crisis.

And he continued his battle with the pretensions of the navy: “Today’s defence policy has not been assisted by the Falklands experience,” he wrote in the Daily Telegraph in 2012. “It is still designed to prepare the Royal Navy for another Falklands … when technology, particularly air power, has moved into a new era … The Royal Navy’s future lies in a substantial number of well-armed modern frigates and destroyers, not two carriers, which are far too expensive to build, service and protect.”

He is survived by his wife and their children, Julian, William and Sasha.

hi shay anon here!! when i said yp i was referring to 'young punk' like the sg slang for young (typically chinese) school boy delinquents and all etc etc . tend to be very insufferable and from what i remembered shay did say he was part of a pseudo good / bad crowd (??) so he seemed like he'd fit the picture to a certain extent. it's ok i'm down bad for reformed shay

Ahhhh makes senseee!

Yeah in my head, Shay did end up hanging out with a rougher crowd after junior college.

At that point in their lives, Shay was honestly quite done with mainstream Singaporean culture, and hence did a lot of things that they felt was a 'fuck you' to the folks they felt would never accept them/respect them.

Fast forward a couple of years, and they've finally come to terms with themselves, and they've healed enough to realise that if they were still allowing their choices to be defined by mainstream society—by doing the exact opposite of what's expected of them—they're still giving power to the very structures/frameworks/people they're trying to subvert.)

[megumi-fm]

omg are u from singapore too?? ive been following you for a while and its so cool to find other singaporeans on this webbed site <33

heyy okay so I'm not singaporean but I was born and raised there and then I moved to india but then I moved back again for highschool and junior college and now I'm back in India... so yeah... I spent more than half my life in singapore and i still consider it home <3

in fact, I'm returning in a couple months for my masters! I'm really excited and I can't wait to revisit the places and the food; I haven't eaten mala hotpot in ages T-T

(if you have any suggestions for food places that have opened up in the past couple years or new places to visit please lmk i would be forever grateful😭💗)

[fearlessdevil17]

Spoiler’s for Sonic x Shadow Generations down below

(i had way too much fun with this game btw lol)

WDYM Shadow lost his new power’s after defeating Black Doom?!?! Nah I refuse to believe that!! He’s a hybrid for a reason ya know!!!

It has been so long since I’ve fixated on the Sonic franchise in general, that i think the last time I’ve ever fixated on it was all the way back in junior high. But imma be honest, I think the reason I didn’t associate with this franchise for so long could be because although i can being obsessively quirky whenever I fixate on something, twelve year old me was far worse when it came to Sonic (in my defence, this was my first feeling of hyper fixation ever). Despite being a lot more mature now, with entirely different opinions on things I somewhat remember (as well as laugh my ass off when looking back on it), what hasn’t changed throughout the years is my love for the franchise as a whole. I genuinely loved all the Sonic games I’m able to play, my comic’s that I own, and watching the TV shows, and movies. But my favourite part is definitely playing the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, those are the best.

But even during my fixation, i was still practicing to draw humans at that time, so i have never once thought about drawing about a Sonic character. That is until I started watching the “Dark Beginning’s” shorts. I still remember all the sonic lore details I’ve learned so far, and grew invested into playing SxSG, it’s been a while since I’ve played the original, and playing through this game gave me a lot of nostalgia.

But on the side note, playing through Shadow’s story was definitely an experience I’ll never forget. It reminds me as to why he’s one of my favourite (as well as one of the best) characters in the Sonic franchise.

In my opinion, this has got to be the best story for Shadow ever, and it really gives a lot of justice to both his character and background!!!

All the lore and collectables that came with this story was wild and fantastic!! But the icing on the cake has to go to Shadow’s Doom Powers, Those were by far the best thing within the entire game, i had way too much fun with those lol. And the fact that this was all taking place during SG is crazy to think about, Child me would’ve been bouncing off the walls right now if this was in the original game lol.

I started to practice drawing Shadow after watching the first EP of Dark Beginnings, Now after playing the game, I really wanted to make something involving the Doom Power’s, and just like how my brain never disappoints me when it comes to ideas, I’ve immediately came up with this one because I refused to believe that Shadow was unable to keep his new powers after killing Black Doom!!!

So I Headcanon that after Shadow defeated Black Doom, the power Black Doom bestowed upon him now laid dormant within Shadows Black Arm DNA, and few weeks after the events of SG, his Doom Power reawakens and turned him into the Doom Morph out of nowhere, causing Shadow to freak out, thinking that Black Doom was still alive, and fled away from the public eye. Rouge and Omega were able to find him and calm him down, and would later tell Shadow that it was his own doing that his Doom Power reawakened. With Black Doom gone, these powers now belong to Shadow for the rest of his life, it’s now his to control, and his decision as to what he’s willing to do with them.

But since they don’t appear throughout the other games, i also Headcanon that Shadow rarely uses his Doom powers and only uses them when absolutely needed since he’s perfectly capable of handling things without them.

There are so many more ideas I want to make for this game due to it’s huge amount of new lore, but I’ve settled with this first because the Doom Morph was definitely my favourite power to use and drawing it in my own style was really fun. Definitely more to come after this :D

Never would i have thought that i would fixate on the Sonic franchise again by being invested in a remake for a game i played years back, but i am happy i did!! This game was amazing!!

Bonus:

He’s fine, i promise ;)
