so i was talking about top gun with my mom
who’s been a huge fan ever since before i was born, and i was gushing about the fighter jet’s and how cool they are and a bunch of other curiosities i’ve learned about them, either from podcasts or from yt videos etc etc and she was like
“oh so you’d want to fly one sometime?”
and i was like “well yea obviously, if i was crazy rich. bc tHEY ARE SO COOL isn’t that like everyone’s dream once they watch the movie?”
and she just stared at me, raised one eyebrow and shook her head. and i’m like what do you mean your first automatic response to that movie isn’t I WANNA FLY JETS, PLANES MAKE THE BRAIN GO BRRRR ???????
and she just shrugged and said “yeah no i just really like tom cruise. oh, and the storyline.” which ok, valid but still. and then she adds “also, i’d probably puke all over if i ever flew in one of those”
and i just ???? yea me too, mom, but it’d be so worth it.
long story short, please tell me i’m not the only freak obsessed with aviation who loves that movie bc of the planes and because of the gayest love story to ever gay (yes icemav i’m looking at you)
i’m not putting an “all the options above” option, because i think it’s fairly obvious that if you love top gun you’d at least like to check all the boxes. i’m making you choose on purpose >:3

Happy Birthday to Seb, and Seb only.
+ some explanations
I realized as I was making this, some of the little stuff probably only makes sense to me, and maybe people who have been following me for a while atp. So I wanted to explain some of the little details I included cause I really love them!!
First of all, I wanted to incude my original sketch for this(from like 5 hours ago lmfao), bcs I find it sooooo cute. Look at him!! Little guy!
I. Fernando's Gift
This is of course a reference to the Fernando teddy bear, but more specifically to the vettonso comic with the bear I drew a while ago. As you can see from my sketch, this is the first gift I came up, which I'm pretty happy about!! It's always so cute to me no matter its form. Though...I don't think teddy bears existed yet in the early 1700s, but Fernando found a way, okay? I like to think Fernando is all gruff in the beginning, but gives Seb this or something similar and remarks "to keep you company when I'm back in Spain," and then he has to pretend he has food poisoning rather than living with having said something so sappy.
II. Mark's Gift
I don't think this is really a reference to any specific post of mine. Dog!Mark is just an important Mark characterization in general, but especially in boy king au where he is really reduced to the status of dog by virtue of his upbringing and vocation. He definitely plays this off as wanting Seb to get another hunting dog(something he advocates for often. Seb knows it's entirely self motivated but loves to humor him bcs its cute to see how much he loves dogs. Well Seb loves dogs too, one dog in particular-)
III. Jenson's Gift
AAAAHHHH I'm so proud of this one bcs of how many leves there are to it!! I couldn't for the life of me think of what Jense would gift him but then I remembered I characterize him as horse obsessed(read: ye olde carfucker.) So this is basically the ye olde version of him getting Seb ultra detailed minatures of his cars. HOWEVER this is also a callback to one of my favorite posts I've ever made, back when I translated Seb's car names into Latin. So it was fun to actually get to canonize that in a way. ALSO! BTW! Those horses are specifically Lipizzans, which are a very iconic horse breed in the Habsburg Empire and Vienna specifically. A horse breed sought after by the Habsburgs for both war but also riding schools, and they still remain as the breed of horse trained in Vienna's Spanish Riding School today. The emperor Seb is based on comissioned the school's main riding hall, and his portrait still hangs above where the riders enter. So I thought that was a fun little easter egg to include!
Also the characterization in this is so funny. I guess I'd consider them a polycule, like they're a unit and all have interesting relationships between each other. But one of the main focuses is the kinda love triangle between sebmarknando. Like Mark and Fernando constantly fighting for Seb'cs undivided affection and attention. But as per usual, Jenson, who is on the sidelines, swoops in effortlessly with the most perfect gift ever. I feel like he understands and gets along with Seb the best out of the three, but just doesn't want to deal with such a complicated thing so he's satisfied being a bit distant(he secretly takes a lot of joy one-upping the other two. It's impossible to not crave your ruler's attention, no?)

Yuuji is the bestest boy ever and no one can convince me otherwise
Don't even argue with me but Yuuji is the kind of guy who'd instantly know you're struggling with something from the way you seemingly type less when you reply to him
cw: depression mentioned
He's the kind of guy who wouldn't even think twicec let alone once about just ditching everything he had to do that day and just straight up dash to the next convenient store to pick up your favourite snacks and some microwave food, paired with some unhealthy sugary drinks that he knows you secretely love to the moon
Yuuji is the kind of guy who would run to your place in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm just because he worries about you
He's also the kind of guy who doesn't judge when he sees the mess at your place when you let him in
You're in tears and red in the face from embarrassment and shame about how messy your place looks and how you haven't showered in a week, let alone brushed your teeth. Your hair is an unwashed mess but he doesn't care
You can not convince me otherwise, Yuuji is the kind of guy who'd clean your entire apartment for you while you take a depression nap
He's such a caring guy, he'd even cook you some real food, because despite the snacks and junk food he brought he wants you to eat something proper too when you mention you've been surviving on frozen pizza and nuggets for three weeks
Yuuji doesn't judge, he doesn't humiliate, he doesn't even comment, he's just there and helps you how much he can because he loves you
But Yuuji's also the type to not confess to you because you're amidst your worst mental time and he cannot put any burden like that on your shoulders when you deal with so much in your head already
Unbeknownst to him, it's long not platonic anymore how he cares about you, how he cooks for you, how he helps you wash your hair, how he holds you when you cry, how he embraces you when you feel week
No, the way he protectively keeps you close to his chest when you cry yourself to sleep is far beyond platonic

sure ezri dax has other and more pressing issues to deal with in season 7 of ds9 but i just think it'd be more interesting if she was constantly dodging any and all news about the weird pyschosexual relationship between her mom and the bajoran president/pope

what kills me is how people here in the west are so …. willfully, blissfully, ignorant of what’s transpiring in palestine. like i have even seen poc, even seen HIJABIS still buying starbucks and i’m like …… i guess dumbfounded at this point. “oh but it’s just one drink” “oh but my one dollar won’t make a difference if i spent it or not” “well it’s not my problem, the middle east is always at war”
are people so arrogant they think they are the exception to what’s happening in palestine? in fact. the victim blaming against the palestinians is insane “well they should’ve just left” “well they should’ve agreed to a ceasefire” “well they shouldn’t have let hamas take over” you guys make me sick to my stomach!!!! my god this rhetoric is so narcissistic it hurts!!!!!
