#they could be my friends at uni

[disastersappho]

the sunshine court really put the original trilogy in a new light bc we finally see just. regular college students. they go to get boba. they have a cute gay apartment. they actually go to classes. and then we have jean, neil, andrew, kevin, and the rest of the foxes who are just Not Having a Normal Time between unresolved oodles of trauma, not a single stable home life in sight, oh also and the literal mafia. — their metric for being Okay is just,,, not helpful. but trying to picture jean just like— in my econ section. hanging out at someone’s bday party on a saturday in socal. my man holding a corona and having no idea what to do with his hands. i cannot.

I hate that analytical chemistry is called that how I am supposed to take an article seriously that’s published in a journal called Anal. Chem.

I must speak my truth. I get the "Phil has an English degree lol" jokes, I really do...but every time I see them it has the same impact as "you're a linguist, how many languages do you speak?" And as someone who primarily works in phonetics, y'all, it made my spelling worse

i saw the anon that said suguru had a prince albert and all i have to say is, when satoru sees hiw much you like sugurus new piercing he wants to get one two, but he completely doesnt account for how painful it could be and he ends up crying 😢 poor baby just wants to be cool like suguru. also what piercing do you think he'd try and get? i was thinking a tongue piercing or something on his eyebrows or nose.

love your work - 🌀

SATORU WITH WEIRD PAIN TOLERANCE YES YES YEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!! in my head he's also very bad with piercings (i am aswell lmao) like when it comes to pain stuff in bed he's totally fine and then he goes to get One piercing and he's keeling over bc it hurts so bad (he's just like meee omgg)

the idea of him nearly tearing up because of a piercing is so funny i know he has suguru right there with him to hold his handhgsghdashgghdasgh he's so cuteeee <- is talking abt a grown man

with that said . i do still really like to see him with piercing lmao he might get them and then try and act like it was fine while suguru and shoko know how much he was whining abt the healing processhgsadghshgdgas ANYWAYY i think he'd rock just about every kind of a piercing out there.. a tongue piercing would be my first pick for him as well he would be so extra hot with one i wanna screamm but man............... you mentioning eyebrows and the nose.......... woowwwww you really did smth here i really fucking want him with an eyebrow one now.....................

like plssss uni bf!satoru with a tongue piercing and an eyebrow one and then maybe a good few holes in his ears too i'm going to tear my eyes out he would look sooooooo fucking hott good goddd

i think i officially set my sights on a therapist and i'll be contacting her very soon?? therapy was legitimately not on my 2024 bingo card (or in the cards for me at all) but here we are????

it's sound weird, but i have headcanon that Hunter didn't go hexside, because he too old to shool(according to my feelings, at the end of the he is 16-17 y.o (except for the post-credits scene), and at that age it is already too late to go to school):p

i mean, well- in my opinion he rather certainly did go to hexside, since one of the things he'd said during his TTT monologue was "i'd like to attend hexside like a normal student and play flyer derby with my friends" and all of his "wishes" were supposed to sort of foreshadow his goals and his future (carving palismen, studying wild magic, etc etc) so i feel like it's safe to say he succeeded in becoming a hexside student as well. we also know he attended grom with the rest of his friend group, and like- since he's 16 before the timeskip (no canon certainty whether he's recently turned 16 or is going on 17 already though, but like... around 16 canonically) that means he'd get at least 1 year of school, but most likely 2+.

my personal headcanon is that he went to hexside for around 2 years (full or not quite, depending on when the school year starts in the boiling isles and how long it lasts; possibly even 3), and during that time he picked up a mentorship/apprenticeship at del's palisman carving shop, and after he graduated from hexside he started carving palismen professionally with the clawthornes (i like to think that he also takes some courses at eda's wild magic university in his spare time, simply cuz . funny uni hexsquad shenanigans)

Heart Rates in MotoGP 🫀

There’s this post about the doctor in the movie Faster (2003) comparing Valentino Rossi's and Max Biaggi’s heart rates, and Vale’s maximum being only 125 bpm while Max’s was 170 bpm was a bit unbelievable to me so I’ve decided to do some research because those who know me know this is one of my favorite topics.

What I found when searching for this topic was a gold mine for people who are interested in hearts, so I thought I’d write a post about it because I think it could be interesting for everybody, especially for new fans (like me) who don’t already know about these heart-related things in MotoGP.

Important information: I don’t have a medical background, I’m just a cardiophile/someone who’s interested in hearts so this post isn’t about the medical side of this topic, it’s only to share the interesting stuff I found.

So, according to this article (which is basically the copy of this but I found the other one earlier), the riders’ highest heart rate is typically around 160-170 beats per minute. But what makes this really interesting is that I’ve discovered that there are a few riders that are an exception because of their extreme cardiac output like Maverick Viñales, whose highest heart rate barely exceeds 130 bpm, or like Jorge Martín, who’s the opposite extreme with his heart rate reaching 200 bpm during the highest points of qualifyings and races. Both of their resting heart rates are around 40 bpm, which is surprising because I expected Jorge's to be higher.

A post shared by Maverick Viñales (@maverick12official)

MotoGP began broadcasting the live heart rates of riders in 2019 with Maverick’s being shown first (as he writes it in the caption of the post above) and that was when his heart became a sensation because of it beating significantly slower than the hearts of other riders. The video above is him doing a hot lap at the 2019 Japanese GP weekend. That was when they discovered that his heart was different from the other riders’ hearts and in this video, they asked him about it because some people doubted if the monitor was accurate. (After seeing this, Vale's 125 bpm from the beginning of the post doesn't seem that unbelievable anymore.)

As you can see above, in 2020, during the Austrian GP weekend, they compared Maverick and Jack Miller’s heart rates, to which Jack’s reaction was, “I don’t know what Vinales is, a snake or something, or his heart is not working!” (jokingly) “I just saw they did a comparison and I am sitting at 160 and Vinales on 120-something. I’m sure mine wasn’t even at the highest point when I was doing those laps.”

And then Jack talked about his heart rate a bit more:

“I’ve never been in the 200s, I think the most I had in a test – and this was 3 years ago – was 199. If I’m training on the bicycle it’s 175-180. I think the best I have had on the bicycle has been 188. I think the start of the race, the lights, would be the highest point for me. And if you're in a fight especially in the first couple of laps it’ll be through the roof. Then you can sort of stabilize it around 160.  I know with the motocross bike it stays around 172. That’s my normal average for a 25-minute training moto.  Like I say, it’s not like I'm blowing out of my arse or anything like that, it’s just that Vinales is a bit of a ‘snake’! His just doesn’t work in the same way as mine… He’s got a bigger stroke, less rpm!”

And something worth mentioning here is that Maverick posted about his pre-season medical check-up and someone in the comments asked about his VO2 Max result and he answered the question in a video posted in his Instagram story (you can see it below), which was really surprising to me because I don’t usually see people openly sharing information like that.

(For reference, the average for people his age is 31-41.9, good is 42-49.9 and >50 is excellent. So his results of 64-70 are incredible.)

And some other things I found while doing some more research for this post:

Jorge talking about having an overheating problem and a heart rate of 230 bpm during the 2023 Indian GP.

Álex Rins racing with an average of 190 bpm (remember, the maximum is 160-170 bpm usually) during the 2024 Japanese GP (and finishing last despite trying really hard to get a good result).

And here is a video of Marc’s start in the 2012 Moto2 Valencia GP where his heart rate goes above 200 bpm. In this interview, he said he usually doesn’t monitor his heart rate during a race, but he did during this one. I think it was a good idea because it shows us how his heart behaves during the start, which is one of the most stressful moments of the race.

I really enjoyed writing this post and getting to know the incredible hearts these riders have. I hope I could show something new and interesting to those who didn't know about this. Thank you for reading it! ❤

Hello infinitely wise followers. Today I will be dropping my major in art to ONLY pursue creative writing because it’s stretching me thin to get by in Two Things when I could be really good in One Thing. I now only have one major. And many experiences.

Bad news i'm afraid. Your dedication to your dream career has inspired me to do something i was anxious to try. i'm doing it now because of you! In your attempt to be evil and crush other peoples spitrits you have accidentally elevated mine!

(it's clubbing. I loved it a couple years ago but have since developed anxieties TM.

I'm not coming for your Job i don't want you as an enemy)

OH YES I love to inspire other people to strive for their goals no matter what! so happy to hear my wickedness is not in vain, because there indeed is no rest for the wicked💪

you have also come to a clubbing expert. your anxieties will crumble before you. all you need is a good crew (preferably smaller than bigger, as a big group will dispense). you need to pregame a little bit but not too much lest the bouncer not let you in. order a water with every drink. select a club where they play good music, and always be ready to sprint for the dance floor when a great song comes on.

the club is much like a dungeon in an rpg, but your whole party has been afflicted by the status effect of drunkenness and the ultimate objective is to make it out alive. the final boss is yourself, or maybe a friend who's had a bit too much and now you must get them home. you can do it!
