I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#nico rosberg#lewis hamilton#brocedes#like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked#because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave#& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment#his comment re max is just making me laugh#like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot#like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm#truly gods strongest soldiers#ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour#he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible#& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go#theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race#its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it#and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels#additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today#but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful#i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful#ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK#you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki#especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone#this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao#I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋️

Imagine you fall in love with a god. His eyes always peer at you through your son and for his safety you give up everything. EVERYTHING. your dreams. your safety. your relationship. your potential. your love. you tolerate a horrid HORRID man and his addiction and his abuse and the pain...for him...your son. the one who smiles like the sun and has the eyes of the ocean.
AND THEN everything you have kept him away from, comes rushing for him at the bloody doorstep and not only do you have to let him go to his father's world, you also have to leave him not knowing if he'd actually stay safe...
THIS is why i loved that detail in the books that Sally was against sending Percy to camp...because she had given up everything for him. Despite all her strength and motherly love you have to admit there was also a co-dependency between them. Only she could keep Percy safe and Percy could only trust her because he was a 'problematic child'. They loved each other but it was bound by desperation too...
While the show could not express it in the detailed way the books did I still love how that tension was so palpable. Especially when she was struggling and stood in the rain listening to music...because not only does the water soothe... it hides away the tears too.
#im not staying this is a strained relationship...because it is not#but also...had percy not found a home when he did#had sally not had her space when she needed it#they would not have grown into their potentials and fates#they grew when they were away from each other tied by love#not together tied by desperation and fear#sally jackson#pjo#percy jackson#pjo show#im so sorry for the rant...but not really?? hehe#annabeth chase#percabeth#grover underwood

StarEater Au By: @/Skimmeh and @/kairamuwu (Highly suggest checking it out!)
Woah I finished something lol
It’s Grian from the stareater Au! I absolutely love stareater so so much it’s such a fun au and the designs and story are so so edible. I literally love how all the characters are written and just everything is so cohesive in a way, idk how to explain it but it’s rlly nice when reading and even the designs are cohesive in a way, I think it was mentioned smt abt prosthetics like how Grians are darker and he has more blue kinda tones and then Scars are more bright and he has more orange tones, but Grians wings also have orange which makes them mix together really well idk I’m just ranting at this point lol. I’ve been meaning to draw stareater Scar or Grian for a while now but my memory is worse than a goldfish so I kept forgetting, sadly I didn’t draw Scar as well but I might at some point if I wanna idk.
(Click for better quality!)
Alt Version:
(Sorry for putting the @/ thing I just have a irrational fear of actually @ people-)

im gonna be honest ur posts pose a bit of an Issue for me bc like my rewrite has a plotline that involves lilith doing some shady shit in the name of the greater good and. in the light of the whole settler colonialism thing. is there a way to differentiate her attitude from jack's because i really dont wanna come off as "she's just as bad as him" guy number 172
I STRUGGLE WITH THIS TOO…To me the distinguishing factor is that the raiders don’t act with the same all encompassing anger that jack does. I don’t think there ever could be a true “just as bad as him” argument because he wants and has the means for total annihilation. no bias, no care for the individual, he says himself he wants every man, woman, and child on pandora dead. its his end goal, quite literally nothing matters more than that. whereas the crimson raiders have tunnel vision in regards to what they want and everything else is just white noise - the bandit casualties are just a byproduct of what they’re convinced they Have To Do, but their deaths are not the underlying goal. these people are violent criminals, so who cares if they die? they were in our way. the raiders have a scale for who is important and who isn’t, and the scale has some leniency for bandits. (that service = fondness cycle we’ve talked about before.) jack has no scale. it doesn’t matter what can be offered to him or what can be done for him. everyone is the same because everyone is a bandit and so everyone should die. so on and so forth. the best example i can think of is how lilith handled the children of the firehawk: she uses them as a shield, and tolerates them because of it. this tolerance grows to fondness. she’s flattered by them killing in her name. (its only bandits dying, after all. there’s no real value lost.) and then she intervenes whenever they start burning sanctuary citizens. (people who are decidedly Not Bandits, and deserve her protection.) jack would have just killed everyone at first glance. the bandits, the settlers, the vault hunters, and everyone else within a five mile radius if he could. lilith, if incentivized, can see the humanity in her enemy. which is something that jack outright refuses to do. i think comes down to generalized apathy versus abject hatred. someone can be made to care. it is a hell of a lot harder to convince someone to love or even tolerate someone they hate.
#borderlands#handsome jack#lilith the firehawk#crimson raiders#easy answer: the “shes just as bad as him” narrative comes from misogynists and has no root in canon. youre fine.#full answer: (rants for an hour)#bandit rewrite#<- not necessarily but for my own reference#see also: lilith working with vaughn and vallory. the relationship is strained but they are not outright Her Enemy because#they are doing something for her.#not mentioning nisha in this because. thats a very specific case. and also hes weird about it.#wainwrightjakobshammerlock

I’ve never been so obsessed with a character so bad that I literally can’t do anything else I’m like the squidward meme watching SpongeBob frolic outside the window stretching a hand out to all the pretty paintings and animations and comics I see in my head but being unable to feel any motivation for it . If only i could use the energy spent to create 20 kon doodles to sit down and concentrate on a single finished full piece I used to be able to make like 5 page comics what happened to me
#sighs yes before anyone says anything IK it’s probably adhd related 😭#BUT ITS GOTTEN SO BAD I CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY BRAIN HOW DID IT GET WORSE#it’s probably a mix of burnout too but I don’t get tired of drawing ?#it feels like when u get dizzy or change glasses or so#and it’s either everything is wayyy too in focus and you can see literally everything clearly that it hurts ur brain#which doesn’t help given how saturated w information the world is always#and simultaneously somehow everything is blurry or out of focus and I physically have to strain myself to hone in on one thing#I JUST WANNA READ COMICS AND FINISH A DRAWING AND HANDLE WORK AND SCHOOL AND TALK TO MY FRIENDS#ALL IN OME DAY#BUT MY BRAIN IS LIKE. TODAY IS ONLY FOR COMICS. YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ESLE#😫🫶 I’m deleting this later I’m just ranting LMAO#I’m highschool it’s crazy bc I did okay and then honestly i just think my ability to concentrate has deteriorated as the years have gone by#free me!!!#either way I want to lessen my social media and just pick One bc girl I have an Instagram a tumblr and a twitter this is horrible for me .#honestly I’ll probably pick instagram and just post on tumblr when I have art#I already do that#I mean when I have Good art.#IM RAMBLING IDK

I don’t really know why but this past months I’ve been suffering under knee pain and I’ve discovered how difficult it actually is to find any spots to sit down in public spaces. If my knee were fine, benches placed this far apart would be fine, but it isn’t so every time I go anywhere I just have to be prepared that I will be in pain after a while. Hell, I was in a museum that said it was accessible for people with disabilities- turns out that was an elevator and two benches in the whole exhibition (sitting down on the floor hurts, as well as getting up again).
At this point I’m just baffled to be honest? It isn’t that difficult to put benches anywhere, right?
#rant#its been getting worse also and Ive been thinking a lot about it#and trying to compensate for the pain with limping puts strain on other muscles so it hurts even more. Ewww

wattpad is so crazy because users will leave comments expressing nothing but pure disdain and anger for whatever reason (y/n’s characterization, the decision to include original characters, temporary ships and subplots, etc)…like at a certain point i start to wonder if they realize that no one is forcing them to read anything 😭
#this is mostly about endure actually#that story got way too popular considering how inexperienced i was when i wrote it#it haunts me#but also it was never meant to be read by anyone but my best friend so a lot of things are just random or silly in it for no reason#‘they had makeup remover back then??’#idk but mikasa s1-2 was swinging around in that nyx butter gloss shade 05 crème brulee so shit they sure must’ve!!#also sorry y/n at the ripe age of nine wasn’t down to commit murder w the besties 💔#and that she had a crush on reiner…CRIME PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.#(literally)#there’s several wonderful people on wattpad and i’ve met some of my fav mutuals on there#but the user base overall is the reason i stopped posting on it#anyways sorry for the rant but long story short#i am by no means a perfect author but like. i’m going to write what i write and you can either choose to read it or click away#but there is no need for you put either of us through the strain that comes from leaving comments complaining abt what i choose to write :)#m’s thoughts

#rimi talks#hnngghhhghhhh (<- the sound of me straining to hold in a rant about mischaracterization because i know it ultimately doesn't matter)#(but it's still so annoying bc it's just the result of fanon flanderizing and shaving down characters into tropes regardless of accuracy)#it's just kinda funny also bc my friends have definitely heard me bitch about this before dhfjfsjgd#BUT ANYWAYS i go to sleep now. i had a pretty good day but it was tiring!!!#i feel like the grumbleposting makes it sound like im mad. im not!! im in a good mood#im just tired which means i start broadcasting every thought on my mind

To be fair kidnapping Chay wasn't Vegas's fucking plan, Tawan is just insane. Agreed though I think Kim and Porsche are decent in-laws
I know it was left a little vague, but in canon, Tawan went off Vegas’s plan by accelerating it.
Vegas and Porsche make a plan to pick up Chay the next day so he can join the two of them on the run. while that itself wouldn’t be kidnapping, Vegas’s entire plan was to. y’know. frame Porsche as a sell-out and kill him and Chay to cover it up. kidnapping Chay and holding him hostage is still part of that plan, it was still going to happen—Tawan ruined it by kidnapping Chay before Vegas could.
also, even if it wasn’t, Tawan kidnapping Chay in the first place was to help Vegas. this doesn’t necessarily put that blame directly on Vegas, but who the fuck would blame Porsche if he were really fucking pissed at Vegas for it anyways? bros don’t kidnap other bros little brothers, not even tangentially >:(
but Porsche doesn’t hold it against Vegas! he might’ve let it go because of unusual circumstances and how he was short of options at the time, but Porsche overall has astronomical reserves for forgiveness. he quietly works through his feelings when he’s upset with people and usually comes out the other end having forgiven them—see Arthee, see Kinn, see Vegas, hell even see Khun! the only person he doesn’t forgive is Korn (who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, forced him into the mafia, and fucking more) (fuck Korn). getting back to my point—Porsche doesn’t hold grudges against people, and he most certainly is going to start with Kim.
Porsche just plain isn’t going to hate Kim for any of the mafia shit, or even anything that went down in Kim and Chay’s canon relationship. they’re dumdums in love, but Porsche will let them sort it out themselves (may I remind people that Porsche only punched Vegas once for KIDNAPPING AND TORTURING HIS FRIEND even while also giving him the chance to talk shit out with Pete—Chay might be more of a hot button than Pete, but Kim only hurt Chay’s feelings and ran away, Porsche is not so irrational). sorry nonny, I did not mean to go off on a rant here, but I despise this trope where Porsche hates on Kim because it:
a) completely disregards who he is in canon and massively distorts Porsche’s character into this irrational piece of shit hypocrite
b) overrules Chay’s feelings/choices/decisions just so the author can be mean to Kim
c) Porsche’s gaydar got replaced with a nongdar. the only person who adopts more little brothers than Porsche is Tankhun—Porsche 100% sees angry little bitch Kim and goes free brother! without stopping to ask permission
#kinnporsche#i swear I’m not mad or annoyed at you anon!#i just rly rly RLY hate this trope and thinking about it makes me rant-y 😅#anyways porsche adores kim I will beat this drum forever#and eventually write feral raccoon duo AU#EVENTUALLY#i deleted this part of the rant but the other facet I hate in this trope is that *grabs soapbox*#Chay doesn’t hate nor blame Kim for the mafia shit#but he’s absolutely pissed at EVERYONE ELSE for it#Porsche left him to join the mafia#Vegas embroils him into mafia plots#Kinn keeps Porsche in the mafia#Khun’s coping mechanisms seem callous and cruel at first glance#it’s going to take A LOT OF WORK for Chay to be okay with any of them#the only one he’s willing to forgive right away is Porsche and that’s only because he cares about Porsche more than anyone else in the world#but the mafia still puts a strain on their relationship#i have many feelings about Chay’s relationship with the mafia#maybe even as many as I have for Porsche & Kim

thibking about the chibi new years art where they're serving champagne but instead of the cast is my ocs.... sash making sure everyone is getting the same amount of champagne, kaiho rolling his eyes since he's the one holding the glasses, hellebore impatiently reaching for one, narci judging sashey's choice in alcohol (he doesn't have a problem with champagne the problem is quality🍷), santana Not enjoying it because she has literally never had alcohol (she'll hand her drink to sash once the toast is over)
#this is why kai anf sash broke up#narci said “if you're not paying for it might as well get a good one...” anf kaiho kinda wanted to skin him alive#sash is a leader and she's strong and stuff but kaiho always felt a bit overprotective of her since he was the one that introduced her to#the syndicate. she does not need him to do all that at ALL but he does it anyways#well. did it#although even with their currently strained relationship if anyone badmouthed sash he'd be on their ass immediately#anyways. this turned into sash snd kai rant wow well if i want to do this i have to finish santana's design

Can't even mention that a store near me is clearly using abusing the TFW program because they refuse to pay little more than minimum wage in a high cost of living area (also you won't get benefits and you'll only be part-time) because the fascists and right-wingers will jump in to say it's about immigration and white replacement.
No, it's because rich white people want to hoard even more money and found an intentional loophole to both make more money (via paying employees less) and also have more power over employees, employees who may or may not know Canadian employment laws (or safety laws) and even if they do, don't have the ability or support to try to hold the company accountable.
You can absolutely criticize the federal government for keeping the loophole open but it predates Trudeau by decades and it was Harper who both expanded the program and added a way for companies to fast-track TFWs. It was also under Harper that companies started firing Canadians (or not hiring them) and then requesting permission to mass-hire TFWs instead.
But the way the right wing talks, you would think Trudeau started this whole thing and the poor multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies are being taken advantage of. Also that housing prices, lack of new developments, and zoning issues started with Trudeau and are the fault of mass-immigration he has a boner for instead of being an issue for decades and experts warning this would happen if governments didn't act ASAP.
Instead the neolibs and cons kept cutting back and kicking that can down the road, a can that started being kicked by Mulroney and the Conservative Party.
#as a 90s kid i grew up with warnings about healthcare and housing and how we needed mass immigration or a massive baby boom#because of the utter lack of federal support and an aging workforce#the systems were already being strained to their limits and there literally weren't enough millennials to replace retiring workers#*or* bring in enough taxes to fund said systems when the system needed it the most#not even increase funding just keeping the same funding that was already not enough#also the right conveniently ignores (or doesn't know about) the extremely predatory recruitment industry#that targets people overseas while lying and charging large amounts of money to bring tfws to canada#you could even blame chretien for expanding it to include 'low-skilled' workers which is what companies are abusing it for#hell even trudeau sr for creating it in the first place even though it was originally made for high-skilled or niche jobs#but no the blame is always trudeau jr with a ton of racism and brownnosing capitalists#because all these problems sprang up suddenly under him#and in no way did harper start/expand/not end/be complicit in any of this /s#though i guess for some of the fascists it seems that way 'cause they weren't personally affected by it until now#and companies have stopped trying to pretend they aren't grabbing as much money as possible because fuck anyone else#even though it's been like that for decades and capitalism itself encourages companies to skim money off the top#while not having the checks and balances to limit just how much#for that you need governments to regulate things and that doesn't work when you have leaders who are anti-regulation#and who believe in trickle down economics#just... the whole thing is not happening in a bubble and involves multiple people and both the neolibs and cons#because it's been building for decades#but you can't bloody say that because the moment you mention housing/jobs/healthcare and/or tfws#you get inundated by fascists who think you're one of them and hit you with some of the most unhinged shit#or who don't even care about you and just want someone to rant at about how it's the evil left's fault for everything#hell you can't even say you don't like trudeau because same thing: fascists think you're one of them or someone to bring into the cult

Hot take but instead of CGI, anime should go back to more retro style animation, like we should totally bring back bold, dynamic animation and imitation cel-shading and bold outlines and rich details and unique designs because that’s what the modern anime scene needs more of and I just know that retro style animation would look absolutely amazing with modern technology
#my brainpoops#truth be told I’m having a little too much fun using retro style flourishes in my art lately and it’s making me think things#well I suppose a big part to play in the rise of cgi and the decline in 2D animation has to do with overproduction being a big problem#especially with the whole thing with seasonal anime and increasing demand for content#anime has become more of a product than anything and because of that shift in attitudes from the audience and major studios in accordance#the focus has shifted from crafting a work with effort and passion#to creating a product to be consumed#and that consumption and the desire to consume puts more strain on studios to keep up and continue making anime#you only have to look at not only the decline in overall visual quality in a lot of modern anime nowadays#as well as animators actively coming out and voicing their struggles#to see that#as well as the matter of homogeny and overall same-ness#with more deeper and more unique stories either becoming sleeper hits or being swept under the rug in favour of more mainstream fare#look it’s just my personal feelings/opinions#let’s just say it was the golden age of anime for a reason#and I don’t think we’ll ever hit that peak again#okay rant over#but I guess the same could be said for a lot of modern media too#90s anime
