“Wait!” - Wendy catching Malachai on the shore just before he was about to dive into the ocean to join a battle, surprising him because he didn't know she was there

Malachai was about to enter the water when he heard a familiar voice. Frowning, he turned around and stepped back to be sure the water won't touch him. The young prince was more than surprised to see the girl here, and even though he was a bit concerned by her presence, he couldn't help but smile a little, before coming to meet her half way. Malachai looked at her catching her breath, asking himself if she ran all her way out but a quick look behind her made him understand that she borrowed one of the horse. This time, his smiled vanished and fear took place. Wendy would have never taken a horse if it wasn't important. Thief wasn't well received here, especially by servant. Malachai put his hand on her shoulder when she finally looked at him.

“Did something happened to my siblings?” He asked anxiously. That was his first thought. Why else would she have broke the rules if not for something this crucial. But the young girl shook her head, looking right through Malachai. It was as if she wasn't seeing him at all, which concerned him a little.

“No, no they are just fine. But I need to tell you something important.”

“Malachai!” They both heard Markos' voice coming from the sea.

The merman, and Malachai's second, was visibly waiting for him, and by the tone of his voice it was clear that he was impatient. Since they were little, Markos always loved battles and war. Malachai never truly understood this side of his friend, even less now that they were adult. A battle was about the start against the Zorra, and Markos was the first one to be excited. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't do anything without the approval of Malachai, so for now, he was waiting, his spear in one hand, looking intensely at Malachai as if it will make him come faster. Malachai sighed a little and rolled his eyes, no, really, he'll never understand why his friend loved violence so much. After a moment, he turned his head, focusing back on Wendy.

“Can't it wait my return? From what I've read in a missive, the Zorra already took one of the villages at the barrier.”

“No!” Wendy said louder that she wanted. That surprised Malachai and herself too, and she was happy that the other merman was too far to hear her. “I'm sorry, I didn't... I shouldn't be here, but I needed to tell you something, and it can't wait...” She started, and by her voice and demeanour that it was truly important. In the background, they could hear Markos calling for his friend, but the prince pretended he did not hear. Slowly, he took Wendy's hands into his, forcing her to look at him in the eyes.

“Go on, I'm listening.”

“When you think you have to go right, it's a trap. Go left. I know how it sounds, and I don't know what it means, I just know it's important, so promise me you'll remember it.”

Malachai was puzzled by her words. For now, they mean nothing important, but in a few hours they will be life-changing. He looked at her, perplexed, and he could see in her eyes that she was more than serious. She wouldn't be here if it was nothing to worry about. She wouldn't risk her life by stealing a horse if it wasn't significant. He knew that too well. Malachai couldn't help it; he gently caressed her cheek, a gesture that he only could do in private –sure, Markos was there but from where he stood he couldn't see it. The prince notice that Wendy stopped breathing for a short moment, and that made him smile a little.

“I promise I won't forget. I'll go left. But how do you know it's a trap?”

“I've seen it.” She said without hesitation, and it made Malachai frowned. She shook her head, as to put order in her thoughts, before adding: “Most times what I see only makes sense once the worst has passed. Don't let it happen. Come back alive.” She explained, and even though Malachai did not understand what she was talking about, he trusted her more than anyone, so he nodded. It seemed to relax Wendy who sighed a little, closing her eyes.

“I'll be back soon, and alive, I swear to you. Here, have it as a keepsake for the time being.”

Following his words, he took off his signet ring, the one with his initial on it, the one he never wore off. Without a hesitation, he placed the ring in Wendy's palm, and she sighed in disbelief.

“I cannot accept it. If someone sees me with your ring t-”

“You came here by horse, and I'm sure you were discreet enough for no one to see you flee. I have no doubt that you'll be smart enough to hide it well. I trust you, Winny.”

Wendy nodding and a small smile appeared on her face. Malachai wanted to stay. He wanted to take a walk with the woman he loved alongside the beach. Watch the sunset with her. But instead he had to go back under the sea, fight a battle he wished to settle with diplomacy. Once again, Markos' voice called Malachai, and this time he couldn't ignore it, he knew he had to go. Before she could say anything, or even comprehend it, Malachai came closer and kissed Wendy. A furtive kiss that was enough to make his heart miss a beat.

“Don't forget, please.”

“I won't. Left, not right.” He said and with his words he was off to the sea.

I think my favourite thing about the DJ Qualls/Ty Olsson engagement announcement/reactions is the way they have been obviously and openly in a relationship for years and yet I have literally never seen any of the tweets or interview answers all y'all are screencaping and posting until now. XD

sometimes it seems like you may have a magic hat, so that combined with you just watching the cake pop video made me want to inquire if you had any knowledge on a mystery ive noticed. theres a gif that appears to come from that video but it doesn't seem to be in the video as it exists? and of course there's no source on the original gif post bc 2013 gifmakers never seemed to :( no worries if you have no information and no actual video of this

Ravikumar Jet | Somewhere Over SimDonia

Jennifer: Okay, so Rose does Ballet, right?

Gianni: No, that's Ella.

Jennifer: Ugh, why can't I get this right?

Gianni: You should've been researching me with your mom.

Jennifer: Funny. I don't think that would've been a good idea if I wanted to keep dating you.

Gianni: Ouch. I'm just kidding. Jeez, relax! Everything is going to be fine.

Jennifer: Easy for you to say! You didn't have to do a whole background check just to meet my family.

Gianni: Uh...

Jennifer: My mom's amateur detective snooping doesn't count. She can barely work Simstagram... I had to submit paperwork to come here! Your family is royal!

Gianni: Yeah, but they're like cool about it. Trust me they are going to love you.

Jennifer: And why are you so sure?

Gianni: Because you're someone that I'm bringing home for one. That obviously means something. For two? Because you're awesome and sweet and funny. There's nothing not to like.

Jennifer sighs: Thanks, I'll try to remember that I guess.

Gianni: Trust me, they're going to just be excited I'm bringing a girl with me. You being the best girl ever will just be icing on the cake. My sisters are going to try to make you like them more than me, Emmitt's going to go out of his way to make you comfortable at the palace, my brother and his fiancé are deep in wedding shit, but they are literally the nicest people.

Jennifer: And you're mom?

Gianni: Uh... my mom? Well... she's fine.

Jennifer: That's it? Just fine?

Gianni: She can be... kind of difficult, but usually only if you rub her the wrong way. Which you won't so I wouldn't worry about it.

Jennifer: Okay... gosh. This is so unlike me to be nervous about this kind of thing. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Gianni: I guess you just really want to impress the guy you like's parents. Probably because you like him soooooo much.

Jennifer tries not to laugh: No, that's probably not it.

Gianni: I get it. I'm pretty great. Man, you're lucky to have me.

Jennifer teases: Oh my, Watcher. Sooo lucky.

Gianni: There's my girlfriend.

Jennifer: You're so...

Gianni: Charming? Funny? Handsome?

Jennifer: I was going to say insufferable. But I guess you're those other things, too.

Gianni: And that's why you're on this plane flying to another country for a practical stranger's wedding.

Jennifer: Yeah, this is crazy... I'm excited, though. I've never been to SimDonia.

Gianni: It's fine, I guess. I never really get the tourist experience when I'm there.

Jennifer: Oooh, we should go do some touristy things.

Gianni: Sure. We might have some downtime when my mom isn't breathing down our necks about, I don't know, flowers and shit. Do you feel any better?

Jennifer smiles: I do. Thank you.

Gianni smiles: Of course. Thanks for coming with me.

[skitskatdacat63]

if u’re still doing these… top 5 most insane martian moments.

Sry for the late response, I really had to think on it! But these have been pretty fun to do so thank you!! <3

1. The entirety of Monaco 2010

Any Monaco celebration has a special place in my heart as you probably well know! But just Monaco 2010 as an entirety is insane to me, to name a few: the matching Porsches...their parc ferme hug...Seb trying and failing to pull Mark into the pool...them jumping into the harbor together and Seb having to pull Mark up onto the dock, MONACO REALLY GAVE US SO MUCH 🤧 but also this race being the calm before the storm, like seeing them be all cute with each other but then knowing how the season ends and how things continue to proceed after that

2. Their Singapore 2008 date

Always holds a special place on my heart. Just that we have so many pictures and even footage(!!!) of their PR mandated date in a time where this kind of thing wasn't really common yet. The caption of the YouTube vid "Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel share an evening in Singapore" 😵‍💫 and I also think often about this comment on that vid calling Seb a "kleine Mädchen." I just think it's very cute. Giggly STR Seb and older gruff RBR Mark, not yet affected by teammate tensions

3. Japan 2007

I think its always very interesting the foreshadowing you can read into while watching older races. I love that Martian were always on an inevitable collision course. Like imagine being Mark and that rookie who crashed into the back of you then goes to win a race before you and then becomes your teammate and then becomes wdc. That they were on this collision course before they even became teammates and Seb had barely been in the sport yet. And LIKE that quote from Mark about Seb about "kids with no experience" and Seb crying in his garage, crazy.

4. Turkey 2010

I have such a fondness for "WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING HERE!? WHAT A STUPID ACTION! I'M GOING HOME! FUCK YOU!"(to the point where my friends who know nothing about f1 know about that quote by proxy bcs I quote it so much") I think it's interesting how much Martian's conflicts revolve around team orders and disobeying radios. It's funny bcs in Turkey 2009, a very similar situation to both Turkey 2010 and Malaysia 2013 happens, them telling Seb to stay behind Mark bcs of whatever reasons. And in 2009, Seb is clearly 🫤 about it but obeys but then goes on to try to overtake Mark in 2010 and fails, but then succeeds in 2013, very interesting to see how that dynamic evolves and grows more toxic! But by far the best part about Turkey 2010 is them having to take that "Us in our Get-Along T-Shirt" pic 😭 it's so funny and I wish they'd do press releases like this nowadays

5. That Monaco 2021 interview where Mark interjects about knowing the meaning behind the coins in Seb's race boots

It's just very sweet to me. There's some post about it on here that explains how meaningful it is, but I don't feel like searching for it, so I'm kinda just paraphrasing that. But like imagine them having a conversation where Seb explains it to Mark and the meaning behind it, and like probably a decade later, Mark still remembers it in perfect detail, enough to remember about the specificities about which coin goes in which boot and why.

Obligatory mentions: Malaysia 2013 of course(but I wanted to mention others, but Multi-21 is a given when considering crazy Martian moments), Australia 2016 podium, Mark's various Instagram forays during Seb's retirement, that one interview where Mark grabs Seb from behind while Love Will Tear Us Apart plays, when Seb sat on Mark's shoulders, anything of them from Abu Dhabi 2022, etc etc
