#okay random story time i don't know why im narrating this or how i even stumbled upon this memory rn#but i generally do sad vents in the tags and for a change this is a funny one#so back in highschool (i say highschool but i mean junior college) i used to visit this park near my house a lot#i was an sg kid back then and the thing about parks there is that they're kinda beach-parks and they have the best cycling/running tracks#they're also really massive parks so i used to go often. sometimes bicycling. other times walking. yeah. the park was like my sanctuary#anyway. there are quite a few bike rental areas in the park and there was a cute lil shop next to this one particular rental place#and they sold like biscuits and water and icecreams and stuff and i went there a lot#and on one particular day i went there and there was this guy around my age part timing at that shop#now again this might be culture specific bc i dont see it in india but part timing in uni/pre-uni is pretty common is sg#a lot of shops and restaurants employ teenagers to twenty something ppl for part time jobs... anyway im just adding context#point is that i had walked to the park with my mum that day and she told me to go buy a couple icecreams so i went to the shop#and i saw this guy around my age and like. not to be a simp but this dude was so pretty?#like he saw someone had come to the counter so he looked up and shot a smile and i thought i got slapped by sunlight#i could spend the next several lines going on about his pretty tan skin and his glowing raven eyes but this is pathetic enough so ill stop#anyway he saw me and smiled really wide (customer service smile- i thought to myself) and i smiled back and asked for icecreams or whatever#and then this guy started getting chatty right. so he was all 'you come here (to the park) often right? ive seen you with your bike a lot'#see now. the problem with me is that i always think im bothering people. this poor dude was attempting to make conversation#and i was replying with one word answers#and i wasn't even realizing that he didnt want that. bc he kept asking more questions and i. kept. shutting them down.#then when he gave me the icecream he was all 'are you here alone? icecream alone is no fun... i could keep you company if you want..?'#which. he was being really cute about right. but because im so fucking dense i was all 'oh no i came with my mom actually'#and he went 'aw man' in this really cute but faux sad way which i didnt understand at the time and i left and then#after three full fucking days. i realized this man was tryna hit on me?#and then i went to the park like a week later and he was gone. poof. i even thought of asking the uncle in charge of that place#then i got too embarrassed and chickened out#yeah so turns out my neurodivergence neutralizes any sort of rizz that comes my way#i could've been chilling with a cute boyf rn but no😩 this is my destiny#megumi in the tags

What do you think SG Predaking would look like in Shards of Stars AU? You sounded like you had sone kind of an idea in the prev post
I keep getting blue, for some reason? Like, his main color is white or a light silvery color but secondary color is blue. Yeah. His optics and biolights are very much cyan blue though. Honestly since he was taken out a lot earlier I think he's straight up smaller. I'm ~consulting the demons~ on this, tbh. Pulling a reference up of BL Predaking, I mean the brown is replaced with the light silverish, the orange with the blue, and the yellow biolights/optics with the cyan.
Quick color splat:
Look the eye was just to describe the sclera then iris then pupil situation.
#so yes#i do#maccadam#transformers#shards of stars au#sg Predaking#tfp Predaking#i do honestly think he looks younger thanks to sg shockwave letting him out of the tank early#i feel like in this he named himself oredaking after hearing stories about the heroic leader of the original predacons#and how he's specifically a clone of the original predaking (predaking junior / just junior is a frequent nickname)#yes i care about him already#and may i suggest his blast sequence is more like ice than fire#that or blus fire#wow i do have a specific image of him in my head#the demons provide yet again

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.
🔔 John William Frederic Nott, politician, born 1 February 1932; died 6 November 2024

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.)

Okay, so, Bright and Murphy are more like concepts than real steady/solid oc's. I have so many versions of them at this point and all of them are equally real to me, but they all kind of come together to make one big amalgamation of a character concept. The point being, I have come up with a new backstory for Murphy. What if, and hear me out on this, what if Murphy is actually Madison Miller. What if I aged Jeannie up just a few years, made her have Madison a bit younger, and made Madison 12 years old when Jeannie comes up with her math proof instead of ~4/5. And then, I give them 6 years on Atlantis going from season 3 to the end of season 5 (originally was 2006-2009). This puts Madison at 18 by the end of the show (and allows me to ignore the real ending of SGA lol).
The reason for all of this is, I want Madison to know what is going on with her mom. I want her to see her make the proof, hear her conversations with Rodney, see them get transported to the Daedalus, and hear her conversations with her dad. I do not want her mom, dad, or Rodney to know that she knows though. I also want her to know what is going on when her mom gets kidnapped and the time her mom goes to Atlantis because Rodney is dying. Jeannie also does stuff in the books (which I SERIOUSLY need to read) but I don't know anything about that.
I want her, at 12, to realize there is a space program of some kind and decide that she wants in. I think up until that point she has been a mostly normal kid, but immediately decides she is going to finish junior high that year, finish high school in two years, finish college by 18, and then start applying to every single internship/program/job that might possibly get her into the unknown space program, while also working on her master's. I think she gets deep into conspiracy theories around it, there were a couple times in SG-1 where people knew or figured out what was happening with the SGC and I am assuming there are a number of internet forums/discussion boards talking about the space program conspiracy somewhere and she gets into them, amassing as much proof as she can. Specifically, she wants to know what is true about the program and what is false so she has a good idea of what she will actually be doing once she gets in.
She never once questions if she will get in or not. She is going to simply because she sees no other option for her future. She will do anything, give up anything, to make sure this comes true. It becomes her sole goal in life instantly.
I think because her mom and uncle are Jeannie and Rodney, she actually is incredibly smart, but her mom wanted her to live a normal life, so she didn't push her much to explore that part of herself. I think she realizes very quickly that she is actually incredibly smart and that finishing school is going to be pretty easy for her. I think she starts making a list of everything she thinks she needs to do if she is going to explore space. She stops ballet, starts taking martial arts, she takes first aid courses, takes wilderness survival courses, she starts reading books on every single topic she can, she starts learning some other languages (both to help speak with people from other countries working in the program and also to practice for when she has to learn alien languages), she gets rid of a bunch of her childhood stuff and replaces all of it with posters about science and space, she learns astronomy and buys a very nice telescope, she starts trying to make herself like MRE's, she decides to go to college for astrophysics with minors in biology, chemistry, and engineering (just to cover her bases), she learns computer programming and builds her own computer.
She keeps her hair short, cuts her nails short, allows herself to get her earlobes pierced once but will not get more than that assuming the program works with the military, only wears military surplus boots or hiking boots and no other shoes, her wardrobe consists of science t-shirts, large sweaters, and plain jeans or cargo pants. She refuses to shave or wear makeup because she doesn't think that will matter in space and when would she have the time. She times herself so that her morning routine takes exactly 10 minutes, getting out of bed, showering, dressing and getting to the kitchen for breakfast in order to practice for emergencies she may face in space.
Her sleep schedule is horrendous, but who has time to sleep when they have things to learn? She allows herself one cup of coffee a day, but no more than that. She doesn't want to become dependent on caffeine in case she can't access it in space. She is part of a lot of science and space related clubs, but has a very hard time making friends her age, and gets along a lot better with the adults in the clubs and on the conspiracy theory forums she is a part of. I think she finishes junior high that year by working very hard to skip grades/test out of the rest of junior high, and works so hard that last year to essentially turn herself into a genius that she convinces her parents it would be better to let her do online homeschooling high school, so that she can go at her pace and focus on things she actually cares about (this goes along with her plan to finish in two years). She starts college when she is 14 and continues to work as hard as she can. She drives all her professors and advisors crazy, but she is the best student possible and when she is old enough (so it's not child labor) she gets one of them to agree to let her do undergraduate research with them in their physics lab. She is thrilled.
I think everything does work out for her in the end, and when she is in her last year of college she applies for as many summer programs/internships as she can that are happening in the places she theorizes could be the space program's base. Once she graduates, I think she gets a summer internship at a very prestigious science facility (with the possibility of a future job that would also pay for her master's (if the internship goes very well, and she decides she will make it go very well)... I did think about making it be area 51 but decided that would be too out there. I do think the facility works with tech from the SGC though that they have decided could become unclassified relatively soon). I think one day, while she's there, Rodney goes there to help the scientists with something (what it is doesn't really matter, just that it's not what she is working on). They bump into each other in the hall and she goes "Uncle Rodney!! I thought you were off- out of the country!?" and he goes "What were you going to say?" and she says "....off world...". Which leads to an interrogation, her parents have to come, the military gets involved, etc etc etc, and her whole story comes out.
She does get a job with the SGC. They decide she is intelligent enough and definitely motivated enough, and she has done a very good job of keeping it a secret this whole time. They decide it will be easier to just let her come to work for them than to make her keep quiet about it longer and to give up wanting to work for them. They do make her stay on the base on Earth for now, because she's only 18, and even though she's technically an adult that's still very young and they don't want babies running around the galaxy representing Earth. She is entirely untested and they don't let just anyone into the program. Also, they won't send her to Atlantis yet because the wraith are a problem and they don't want to get a teenager killed. She stays on Earth for another year, working in the labs at the SGC (she is star-struck, head-over-heels, super embarrassing crushing over Sam lol).
In the meantime, on Atlantis they are hard at work on the wraith problem and they create the vaccine (ever present in all forms of Bright and Murphy). They find a queen who is willing to work with them through Todd, who is also willing to work with them on this. Bright is part of this queen's hive (he is still baby in this universe). Human's start taking the vaccine, things are going well, the queen decides there needs to be a meeting with the other queens and the leaders of the Pegasus galaxy and Earth to figure out how to make this work long term. In order to facilitate this meeting, a neutral planet in the Pegasus galaxy is chosen and Atlantis, the queen, and the SGC start setting things up. It is very much an all hands on deck scenario and so Madison gets sent to Pegasus. She is not supposed to be around the wraith, but ends up running into Bright anyway in one of the labs. They start working together and hit it off right away.
Here are a few other changes that come after they meet. One, Madison hadn't taken the vaccine yet, so Bright doesn't start feeding on her immediately. That happens a while after they meet and he has been feeding on other people first. Eventually Madison decides she wants the vaccine (and also she's maybe jealous of the people he is feeding on and possessive over him) and so she offers to let him feed on her, and he does and it goes the way it always does in every other version of them, because of course it does, who do you think I am??? It was an entirely unexpected experience for both of them, but neither are opposed in any way. Two, during this time, Madison also meets the queen and very much has had an "oh no" moment about it (I don't have a name for the queen yet, but I am thinking about it a lot). She knows what's going on between Bright and Madison and finds it adorable (none of the humans know what is happening... yet). And three, the queen decides "hm.... I want involved" and tells them as much and they are like "yeah". And then all three of them are together.
I don't really have what happens next besides, the vaccine is disseminated to the whole galaxy, they bring peace and prosperity to Pegasus, and everything is awesome. A few years later, Madison will hybridize herself so that she can live with her wraith beloveds longer than she would as a human, and they live happily ever after, horrifying all humans and wraith alike with their freaky little triad 😌😇

i am inquiring into bradley's letter jacket 👀
Thank you for coming to my rescue with the SOS ask in the tags! You’re such a gem for this, Monroe! 💖 (Part 2 of 2)
I shared some headcanons about it here! But I’ve got more details for you!
About Bradley’s Letterman jacket:
The jacket is black with white sleeves, trimmed with black and cardinal red stripes, and has matching red buttons.
Left Front:
-Patch on his left chest is a ‘W’ for Washington High School
-embroidered inserts into the ‘W’ is a small baseball with 3 bars under it, 2 white stars and 2 gold stars (one for each year on the team: white for participation, gold for captain)
-cardinals mascot patch on pocket
Left Sleeve patches:
-baseball
-2 state championship (sophomore and junior years)
-3 all-state baseball chevrons with the year embroidered on it
-#10 (his jersey number) above the cuff
Right Front:
-Bradley in embroidered in white script
-2005 grad year patch on pocket
Right arm patches:
-US flag (just like Mav)
-red chevron with white ‘captain’ embroidered on it
-scholar athlete patch (he’s smart and pretty!)
-NHS torch
(He always joked about saying he deserved a tennis patch for all of SG games that he sat through.)
Back:
-‘Bradshaw’ in block lettering, red with a white outline
-two baseball bats crossed over each other, a mitt with a ball in the middle where they intersect
-underneath that in a smaller font ‘Cardinals’, matching color and font as his last name
^general vibes
^inspo for the image on back and a couple examples of the patches on the sleeves
^the font used for the embroidery on the front
