I wasn’t around for Stalker Sarah? Can you explain?

Stalker Sarah was an iconic, and very disliked, person, particularly during the height of directioners and beliebers. She is the daughter of a very high up pap, and so has basically met every celeb ever. Her dad would get tipped off, she’d tag along, etc. She was non stop following one d and jb around that time, along others, and we’d get so pissed off with her and just wanted her to leave them alone because she crossed so many boundaries with privacy etc. It looks like she’s actually trying to advocate for celebs rights a bit more these days, and has almost always fully embraced her stalker title. She never left anyone alone and taking photos/meeting celebs was quite literally her whole life. She actually became lowkey friends with some celebs because of how often she met them and then would attend events with them, and just started running in circles a little higher. Then she started working for her dad, organising the filming of celebs arrival in cities, crowd control etc.

A photo of her and the boys:

And her obsession with Harry

And louis:

And there are waaaaaay more photos on her Instagram. Also here’s her twitter, she blocked me a very long time ago HAHAH

anyway yeah just disrespectful but she’s really owning the whole thing now soooooo good on her, I guess. glad privacy is a lot stricter these days.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Kimi Räikkönen doing his mandatory military service.

This baby face recruit, who is scratching his cheek in such a shy and demure manner, held the record for longest punitive confinement, at 20 days.

One night during his military service, he went out with his friend and they both got drunk. Because they got back to the premises too late, they couldn't use the main entrance, and instead decided to climb over the fence.

His friend got caught by authorities, but Kimi hid in a ditch while they searched for him with dogs. He then managed to crawl back to his barracks undetected, and hide under his bed where he was later found muddy, and covered in twigs.

The little smartass was questioned how he managed to get past the dogs, to which he answered: “That’s what you teach us here, we are scouts.”

On another occasion he ran away from the army because they wouldn't let him go to a race, and only came back because he was promised that if he did, they'd let him go after all.

They lied.

Vintage Drarry Fics

Thought I'd put together a list of some of the old Drarry 'classics' of my teenage years, for anyone interested. All posted between 2001-2006, compiled using my (bad) memory, a lot of googling, fanlore.org and numerous different LJ rec accounts (including the incredible @capiturecs). I checked as best I could, but if anyone knows of any fics that their author doesn't want to be shared, please let me know and I will of course remove.

Please also note that these fics are of their era, when attitudes may have been different, and they may not all be grammatically perfect. I haven't reread all, as my own tastes have changed, but most importantly do note that they may not be tagged - don't blame me when, for example, Harry dies tragically on a rooftop at sunrise...

“The Artificer’s campaign has little impact on the overall story” bitch I cannot stress how much of an impact the Artificer had on the entire world. You just need to pay attention to some things.

By the time of the Artificer, Scavengers are basically in the middle of a massive golden age. They have a Chieftain (with a mark of communication (maybe Five Pebbles gave them the mark and citizen ID drone and tried to use them for something but they rebelled and found Metropolis)) with armour made from Red Centipede Scales, they have a permanent home in metropolis above the rain, they figured out how to harvest electrical scrap and broken down Rarefaction Cells from the ruins of Looks To The Moon and pieces of Five Pebbles to make electric spears and Singularity Bombs, they even have specially trained Elite Scavengers, which did exist before in the time of the Spearmaster but it’s still worth bringing them up.

Overall, Scavengers are at a golden age of invention and life in general.

And then they anger the Artificer, who slaughters countless Scavengers, kills their Chieftain and drives them out of Metropolis, locking the gate behind them.

After that, a new Chieftain is never made, armour like the chieftain once wore is never made again, Scavengers suffer a massive population loss, they can’t enter Metropolis without a Citizen ID Drone and Elite Scavengers slowly disappear as the methods used to teach them and the knowledge of how to scavenge and create electric spears and singularity bombs is lost, with the last Elite Scavengers being seen in the Hunter’s campaign, which happens next in the timeline. In other words, the Artificer literally sent Scavengers into a dark age.

It takes until the time of the SAINT for Scavengers to show real signs of recovery, now appearing in larger numbers than before. And even THEN Scavengers never do anything like they did during the time of the Artificer. The Artificer plunged Scavengers into a dark age for countless years, and they STILL haven’t recovered.

And that’s not all. According to the wiki, Scavengers are afraid of Slugpups, most likely because they remember how the last time they killed one they were hit by the full force of an angry explosive lobbing goddess of destruction that slaughtered countless members of their kind. They are afraid of Slugpups in all campaigns, even the Saint’s. So even by the time of the Saint Scavengers know not to mess with Slugpups, presumably because the last time they did so is a legend among Scavengers by that point in time.

Hell, the Artificer’s existence even explains something about the Hunter. The reason that the Hunter starts with a negative reputation among Scavengers is because they look like the fucking Artificer. Scavengers look at the Hunter and see the goddess of vengeance and destruction that they’ve only ever heard of from stories.

Both of them have red fur and a scar on one eye, and will the time gap between campaigns, there’s a good chance that only a few Scavengers that saw the Artificer in person are even alive by that point in time (without even taking into account how the Artificer murdered so many Scavengers that it’s probably rare that a Scavenger saw them and lived to tell the tale), meaning that the Artificer is probably told about in Scavenger stories and her appearance would therefore differ, leaving the most obvious details like the scar on one eye and red fur.
