#thank you so much for this!!!!!

[racingliners]

has anyone asked you about favorite (underrated?) helmets yet? ive been drooling over lance's am helmets lately i feel like no one ever talks about them -fujispeedway

oh yes @fujispeedway we can 1000000% talk about underrated helmets!!!

I also absolutely LOVE Lance's Aston Martin helmets, the 2021-2023 designs are my personal favourites both for the all over British Racing Green and the big Aston Martin wings on either side. It's such a sleek design that's executed brilliantly. (Pics below are Lance's helmets from 2021, 2022 and 2023 - all a 10/10 for me).

Of the three the 2023 design is my favourite, but I love the creativity of the 2022 helmet in creating the Aston wings out of matte paint and neon lime accents. It's super clever!

I have an unbelievably silly amount of helmets in my helmet tag so I just know I'm going to forget some (and it's almost after half past 11 at night for me so my brain will not be braining as much - I will probably end up doing a part 2 for this).

Gonna put this under a read more to avoid dash clogging.

Lewis Hamilton - 2020 pre-season testing

Do I think Lewis was absolutely spot on in switching his helmet design to purple and black for the 2020 season? Yes. Do I miss what we could have had in this beautiful white and purple variant? Also yes. (Deep deep down, I do hope this is the route he goes for his first Ferrari helmet next year).

Purple just is Lewis' helmet colour to me, and the big splashes of white with hints of baby pink is just soooooooooo pretty. This helmet looked stunning with the silver W11 Mercedes livery and I think it would have looked gorgeous with the black livery too.

10/10 no notes.

Sebastian Vettel - Singapore 2017

Seb's Singapore helmet designs literally. never. missed. Sadly I think his 2017 design gets forgotten about because of... well... the events of the race start. But to move on very swiftly, I think this design does not get talked about enough. The reflective detailing is really fun and looks just as gorgeous as all the sparkly helmets under the circuit floodlights, and it gets a bonus point for the yellow to red to pink shift matching perfectly with both the German flag on Seb's helmet and the 2017 Ferrari livery.

Again, 10/10 no notes.

Michael Schumacher - Belgium 2011

A lot of F1 drivers do have very iconic helmet designs. But will they ever be Michael Schumacher wearing a helmet decorated with actual 21 carat gold levels of iconic? No.

(I do want to include a video about how this helmet was made bc it's just so mesmerising to watch.)

This design was created and ran in honour of Michael's 20th anniversary in F1, which he celebrated at Spa - the scene of his first ever F1 race and maiden victory.

And it's sexy as hell. 10/10.

Jenson Button - Great Britain 2014

In honour of his father Johnathan, who traditionally always wore a pink button up shirt on race days when supporting Jenson and passed away at the start of 2014, Jenson ran his helmet design in a bright pink colourway for the British GP - which also featured a pink shirt wearing Papa Smurf (a frequently used nickname for Jenson's Dad).

I was super lucky to be at Silverstone for the race weekend in 2014, and you could always know when Jenson was on track because the super bright shade of pink was impossible to miss. And it also looked gorgeous with McLaren's chrome silver and black livery that year.

As a tribute, it's very beautiful. And a helmet I always remember fondly.

Zhou Guanyu - Abu Dhabi 2022

I'm not kidding when I say that I think about this helmet design at least once a week. It's probably every two days at the very least.

It's stunning, it's gorgeous, it's beautiful. Guanyu always delivers on his helmets every single time.

again, 10/10 I want a mini version of this on my shelf.

Esteban Ocon - Great Britain 2022

So, I have the heart of a marshmallow. I am incredibly mushy and sentimental, therefore anything slightly mushy and sentimental makes me go all gooey and weepy.

Esteban's helmet for Silverstone not only featured the names of every single employee at both the Alpine factory in Enstone and and the Renault Powertrains factory in Viry-Châtillon - but the top of the helmet also included the co-ordinates of both factories. Very mushy, very sentimental. It's just lovely.

The blue gradient is also very pretty. 10/10.

(gonna end this here as it's now ten to midnight and I'm struggling to think of many more BUT I will 100% make a part 2 for this if people want).

reverse unpopular opinions: send me a topic and I'll say something nice about it

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Leonosa/Lenarius and Daeran!

On this most romantic of days, I wish upon you two only peace and happiness. Through fire you both become your truest and happiest selves, and you deserve only the best! Please accept my congratulations on your continued relationship and for your daughters! I did a double take when I heard how many there were - five? The thought of Daeran taking care of even one child made me chuckle. That you two are managing five? I’m so happy for you both. Dae has come farther than I would have ever thought - yes I know you’re reading this Dae you could barely even take care of yourself when we first met so don’t get insulted.

Hopefully someone can watch the girls to give you two some alone time on this day. I’d be more than happy to visit to watch them sometime if you needed a little weekend trip away! It would be nice to get out of Citadel Darvhage for a while - though Regill might disagree. And by that, I mean lonely, though he won’t ever admit it. 

Regardless, hopefully this wine and these cheeses reach you in good health! I’ve also included some fascinating grimoires I came across recently that were slated for destruction by the knights. I’d rather they go to an expert like you than outright trashed. Let me know if there’s anything of interest in them!

-Congrats, Minovae!”

My dearest Minovae Arangeir and Regill Derenge,

A very happy Valentines Day to you two as well. It brings me joy to see you both finding fulfillment. Hopefully the two of you can fulfill your duties for today with enough time to take some time to yourselves. Daeran says to let him know if he needs to set Regill straight.

I shall pass on your regards to my daughters. They were truly… unexpected. Daeran seems to have recovered from having his sou shattered. It has been a difficult time for all of us. He and I do have plans for today. After all we’ve been through, we need it. I am certain the girls would be delighted to meet you. We always have room for you in the Arendae estate.

The wines and cheeses have been exquisite. I am tremendously grateful that you thought of me for the tomes. If it isn’t too much trouble to send them over, they always have a place in my library. I hate to see literature of any sort get destroyed. I hope the brandy and macarons made it to you. My daughters have also taken up drawing and embroidery. I hope you don’t mind the mud stains, and be careful of any thorns. Daeran also included a package that he says will “set Regill’s Bleaching back by a hundred years”. I am still unsure as to what he means. Just…be prepared.

Sincerely,

Lenarius/Leonosa Catallus/Catalina Buteo/Beatricia Arendae

P.S. If you ever visit, I may need your help. When I created the girls and healed Daeran, I might have delved into things I shouldn’t have and I may need help from the Inevitable Paradox.

the way you hurt me with angst settles so deep in my bones i cant help but want more 😩 thank you for the awakening 🥲

this is such an amazing compliment as i often worry i over-do it with the angst, so thank you so much!!!! 🖤 i'm an absolute shameless romantic at heart (über sappy, mushy, gross) so as much as i love angst, i love a deserved/earned happy ending more!

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

I think people should be allowed to sleep in the same bed in a non sexual and non romantic way. I think cuddles can happen non sexually and non romantically. I think most acts of affection are non sexual and non romantic until you make it sexual or romantic (other than the obvious things like actual sex is sexual)

Last part whoo!!!

PART 1 / PART 2 / PART 3 / PART 4

[novaneondream]

I love you MHA and I love you Katsuki and Izuku with all my heart. I hope you continue to be heroes and go on many adventures side by side for the rest of your lives.

lighthearted.

if this comic resonated with you, please consider donating to this palestinian escape fund (vetted by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein) as it is less than $7,000 away from it's goal.

i turn 24 today. To celebrate, I made this comic to be a spiritual successor to lead balloon, a comic in which I talked about the darkest period of my life so far.

A lot has changed since my 23rd birthday and this one. My priorities have shifted a lot, in ways that I think are mostly good. But i think the best part about today is that suicide has gone back to being a far away notion. I'm really lucky, and I'm grateful for that.

[daikaiju-arts]

May we see some Gangle x Pomni plspls I just like them in your style 🙏🙏

I don’t necessarily ship them romantically per se, BUT I do like to think of them as being close friends 💚 I friendship them lol
