Random bits from an older McLaren vid for the 2023 car-launch. ☀️

I fell back onto this video and thought that it was so cute so I edited this small part. Oscar almost knocking off the water bottle is so painfully relatable. 🥸

"I have trouble sleeping lately. There is a... recurring dream, you see. Night after night, over and over again.

I dream of a road, stretching across an infinite plain. I see figures, moving in the distance, hear the echoes of their voices. Maybe it is the Fade? They say it can look like anything.

I walk the road, for it is impossible not to. And there I meet the figure of blue light, glowing like the midday sky. The figure stands before an old tapestry, its fabric torn, its edges rotting. A silver needle dances along it, as the figure mends the ancient scenes with azure thread that it unspools from its own body.

'Who are you?' I ask every time, though by now I already know the answer.

The figure turns to me. It has no face, and yet I know its gaze when it looks at me. It has no voice, and yet I know its words when they are spoken.

'I am Victory,' it proudly declares. 'I am the triumphant hero at the break of dawn, the power to rise above and overcome. I am the chance taken, the labour completed, the darkness banished and the evil laid low.'

The tapestry stretches into the distance, once more made whole and strong by the glowing thread.

'Rejoice,' the figure says to me. 'For soon you shall know me.'

The figure is frail and unraveling. Much more azure thread is woven into the tapestry than left within it.

I move on.

I walk the road, and cross the sea, and meet the second figure. Its light is red, like blood and fire. It sits as a child might by the ocean, before a castle of sand. Its arms stretch wide to hug the plaything tightly.

'Who are you?' I never fail to ask.

'I am Love,' the figure speaks in two voices. 'I am the champion and the protector, the power to shield and preserve that which you hold dear. I am the family found and the home made. I am the passion and the companionship, the caressing touch and the clasping hand.'

'Rejoice,' it smiles at me. 'For soon you shall know me.'

The castle in its hands is crumbling. No matter how much the figure struggles to catch it all, no matter how tight it holds on - the wind and the waves take their toll.

I hurry away.

The road again. I climb, until I am high in the mountains, meeting the third figure. Its hew is emerald green, crackling with potency. It stands at the peak, in its outstretched left hand - a small globe that it admires.

'I am Hope,' it responds before I even ask. Its voices are many, like reflections in a cracked mirror. 'I am the herald of change and the promise of salvation, the power to rally the faltering and renew the weary. I am the leap of faith, the paths yet untrodden, the faith that there are truths beyond experience.'

'Rejoice,' it calls to me. 'For soon you shall know me.'

I hear how its body creaks and cracks under pressure. The globe is too heavy for anyone to carry, and the hand that holds it is close to shattering.

I turn and run.

The road leads me further, but I only want to get out. It is a blind rush until I stumble into an empty arch, within which - a mirror? A door? I care only that it could be an exit. I reach out to open it.

And I see that my hand is made of purple light.

I wake up then, each time. And lay awake, waiting for tomorrow."

on the one hand, there's something enchanting about a one-off tragic love interest who only lasts a single episode... on the other hand, i'm an intense sucker for a slowburn, so every time 15 and rogue were having a moment, i just kept thinking how much more invested i'd be in it if rogue had already been around for a few episodes...

I love Jennifer Keller, and while I'm not thrilled with how her relationship with Rodney was played out, I think we can all agree that people disliking that ship because it "gets in the way of mcshep" is ✨not good✨ I think the most logical solution to that problem is to just put John in the relationship. Because that way, she doesn't "get in the way" of Rodney loving John and John gets to have two people who love him.

Problem solved and wrapped up with a bow.

ahdkajdkka oh my hot you're so right???????

broke: hating mckeller bc it's not mcshep

woke: shipping john/jennifer/rodney

When and how was your first kiss?

Oof, it was a long time ago. 2016?

It was… well, let's just say it wasn't exactly the fairy-tale moment I had hoped for. It was shy, awkward, but it wasn't unpleasent. Not at all.

I've always watched my friends complain about how miserable their first kiss was and I've always been, ya know, pretty content with my end of the stick

[catastrxblues]

it’s almost 3 am and i’m screaming about moles & stoichiometry but in a giddy fun way because like FINALLY, something i actually understand and enjoy learning from the subject

[otogariado]

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.

i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

I will never be able to relate to any of the "animated movies that traumatized you as a child" tales like...

These are all movies I watched between 4 and 10 years old:

Lion king? Didn't shed a tear

Coralie? Fucking loved it

The bad guy from Roger rabbit? Dude I saw that movie thousands of times and I LOVED that bastard!

The pink elephant scene from Dumbo? Oh I've always been too mesmerized by anything that is animated to feel any sense of grotesque.

A bridge to therabithia? Sad but I was delusional and I thought Leslie was actually alive so I didn't suffer THAT much ( I cheated it isn't animated)

Taron and the black cauldron? That movie is such a masterpiece, I loved the villain so much, he was a SKELETON. WHO. WANTED. TO. MAKE. AN. ARMY. OF. UNDEAD. HOW COOL IS THAT!??!?!‽

The Russian animated movie of the Ice queen? I think I fell in love that day don't talk to me.

DUE TO BADLY LIMITED INTERNET ACCESS I EVEN WATCHED THE 1954 ANIMAL FARM ANIMATED MOVIE. YES THE ONE FINANCED FROM THE FUCKING C.I.A. AND I DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH

Zarafa was my Roman empire

the story of a seagull and the cat who taught her to fly didn't make me sad, it made me hopeful

The last unicorn made me want to fight God (I was bad at reading the room and understanding messages or match the emotional tone of most stuff I watched. Still am)

The painting(le Tableau in French) made me decide I wanted to be an artist. GOD PEOPLE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THAT MOVIE MORE IT'S FUCKING AWESOME.

Kirikou and the sorceress had such a positive impact on my still developing brain. I love that movie such a normal amount... (lying. I am NOT normal about that movie)

Watership down? Not even a twitch. I was fascinated

The suicide shop was grotesque alright... but again it didn't make me sad, made me reflect and I was fascinated by the main characters

The Triplets of Belleville: had a weird style and I didn't understand shit because I found it in French and I didn't speak French when I was 7 with unlimited internet access.

Plague dogs. I didn't understand a single word of English, in my mind the dogs made it to wherever they needed to go idc. (Now that I have watched it with an adult eye, it's rather depressing, but I'm choosing to be delusional, and so I'll keep the same opinion kid-me had. The dogs made it don't talk to me)

HOWEVER.

However... there was a movie that kind of- unsettled me. You may have gathered form the movies I named above that they are- unusual, and some of them should not be watched by a 4/10 years old kid.

BUT... I have always loved animated movies and from the moment I learned how to type on a keyboard I spent several afternoons opening youtube and looking for "complete animated movie free" optionally I also added "italian" but I didn't care to understand, animated images were enough to sate me.

So that faithful day when I was 8 or 9 and I pressed "search" and I saw a cat in the thumbnail and the title of that movie was "Felidae"... I thought I was in for a normal time okay????

BUT NO

I didn't understand ANYTHING. That movie was in Deutsch and I DID NOT SPEAK THAT LANGUAGE LOL. I STILL DON'T.

There were cats killing each others, there ewas a COUPLING. BETWEEN. CATS. In one of those scenes. ONE OF THE FRAMES WAS A DECAPITATED CAT WHOM FROM SOME CONTEXT I GATHERED WAS KILLED BECAUSE "SHE KNEW TOO MUCH"

And the death of the villain WAS BRUTAL. DUDE IT WAS PERPLEXING TO SAY THE LEAST.

Now- rewatching it out of curiosity in English and I k ow what the hell it was about, some things weirded me our more than they did when I was 8. That movie is... something???? Like yeah it's weird, it's violent, it has a cat sex scene in it. I don't even know what to say other than: "shit I guess....????"

Anyways I am so glad it didn't fuck me up big time lol. I mean I get why I didn't have many friends growing up because... YEAH? How many people were THAT level of obsessed with animated movies?????

I've been agonizing over my exams for too long WHO CARES I'm going to pass them and I'm going to kick ass and even if I won't it'll be fine. The sun will shine on my head anyway

Hello I am once again asking you to listen to Feldup's new album (edit: ive made a rec post)

[redheadlesbianfreak]

I started Tales of Zestiria. I do have problems with things like the camera, dungeon design, and the world design (feels very empty for sure). But I think that the story and characters are perfectly fine. The cast has some solid dynamics.

But yeah, when people refer to Sorey and Mikleo as "secretly yaoi," it's very tame to me so far. There hasn't been a ton of focus on their dynamic overall. I'm sure that will change but yeah pretty underwhelming compared to Flynn and Yuri, as well as Rita and Estelle.

[valentinaonthemoon]

also, speaking of thai drama, if they don't give me news of their version of Cherry Magic soon I'm going to Bangkok and ask for proof that the thing really exists

[iftitah]

i feel so protective of this guy it's surprising i can feel so intensely for someone im not even that close with
