so ur telling me that ayrton senna in the early 80s put photos of alain prost up in his childhood bedroom in brazil and these photos stayed there for over a decade, despite the Intense rivalry that developed between them later, and then it was only after senna’s death, after the funeral, that prost was invited to the family home and stood in senna’s old bedroom and saw these photos of himself on the wall? and i am supposed to just go about as normal with the knowledge of this?

Went from being totally lost as a teenager to finding solace in aesthetics and fitting urself into a template in my late teens and now I think I struck a healthy intermediate where I know who I am as a person generally but I’m also completely subscribed to the idea of evolving and would never deny trying something just bc it doesn’t fit the image of myself I crafted in my head

It was sad boi post SV canon YQY hours at the qijiu servers again (courtesy of me) and obviously we once again inevitably set YQY up with reincarnated [insert animal] Shen Jiu up; the QiJiuist MO as I call it It's Crane Jiu's glorious return!

PS. ofc he cultivates human form again

so I was digging through the Vast Legally Grey Junkyards of the Internet in search of better quality footage from AoU for my edits, specifically the scene with the CA FASCIST grafitti in Sokovia—which I unfortunately didn't find, but what I DID find was a bunch of deleted/expanded scenes that I didn't know/didn't care enough to pay attention to before. Which is fine. Most of it is techno babble and rushed plot setup. However. This stupid-ass ten second clip makes me literally insane. It makes me. Want to kill and maim and chew on the bars of my enclosure. And not in the sense that the contents make me oh-so-emotional, but because the potential of them could. Because what do you mean.

What do you mean those four and a half lines were cut for pacing/time when it's a ten second difference and the rest of the scene is in the film anyway. What do you mean you cut it because it didn't fit the narrative. It's literally couched in two minutes of plot it could've been so easy to slip it in there. A passing reference that would add at least a smidgen of depth to both the (already fucking incomprehensible) plot + politics of the antagonists, and to one of the main fucking characters. Like you were SO close what do you mean you cut every feeble attempt that was made to scratch the surface of Steve's character outside the whole nightmare scene we're supposed to feel so bad about what do you MEAN.

The fact that this minimal exchange—paired with that graffiti scene where Steve is confronted with the actual legacy of Captain America and what he's come to mean to people around the world and then quite physically discards the identity + him still circling back to the mantle at the end of the film anyway because he doesn't know how to do or be anything else, feels like he's too changed for this idea of a normal life that stems from before the war and the ice and doesn't know how to live without carrying that, without being useful in this one specific way—has more meat on its bones in the whole lead up to Civil War and ultimately Endgame than half of this movie's sledgehammer-over-the-head lines about home and family with Barton's kids laughing in the background or whatever like some fucked up C list hallmark movie is downright infuriating to me because like. You clearly thought about it. It passed through your head. You wrote some version of it into the scene. You shot it and edited it and watched it a few times and then you went "nah off it goes to the cutting room floor, we have enough of that. Add those seven and a half seconds to the 20-minute long, entirely CGI Hulk sequence, that we need more of. Surely that will fix the pacing issue".

Side note: this is me not even getting into the fact that, at this point in the franchise, this would have been one of the few lines we'd get of Maria actually saying something or interacting with anyone in a way that is even marginally removed (which this barely is) from simply delivering plot information. This is the only time we kinda get her view on something or even an inkling that she used to be a goddamn intelligence agent. And how that history informs her view of the situation and how it could possibly clash with Steve's own. And that woman is in every fucking movie. (Not to mention the fact that the two of them were just in a movie together, for Christ's sake, and going through something together you could pretty fairly characterize as traumatic and bond-inspiring to boot—and in AoU we can barely tell they even know each other. I mean the bar is so low and they still managed to limbo right under it.)

it makes me so sad when i see someone who seems like an overall smart person call themselves a communist. like, oh, sweetie… oh no. you’ve fallen for propaganda. your jadedness about capitalism made you believe that communism was the opposite of it and the solution for all your woes, and it made you overlook the fact that communism has been historically one of the most powerful tools for authoritarian governments bc having total power over the people’s resources and stripping them from their individual power only leads to totalitarianism. you became so inflamed by the idea of fighting capitalism that you ignored the accounts of people who survived communism. you forgot that those theories you read about only end up translating in the real world as fascism. oh nooooo.

Season 7 Trailer Thoughts

Overall that trailer looked really good! The calls seem much more intense/better than they have been recently...not sure if it's the new time slot or what but I'm here for it. There's so much potential for some really good things and I'm hoping it delivers!

Maya in her Class A's again 😍🔥 can we PLEASE get Carina's reaction?! (This is probably wishful thinking but I'm going to keep saying it until it happens)

The scene of Maya and Carina all emotional and smiling in their bed (?)...the background does not look like their usual bedroom?? Did they move? Are they in the NICU with the baby? But it looks like their bed sheets so I'm confused...looks like a crib in the background though so seems like that baby is officially going to be theirs and they are so happy to be moms. 🥰

Maya and Carina working together and it's a patient zero situation?! The potential! (And such a glow up from when Maya had this type of call with Jack) give me protective wives worried about each other while being the badass first responders that they are!

Budget cuts = lay offs...is that why Theo just randomly disappears? It's about time they cut down the amount of firefighters at the station! Bye Theo you won't be missed. 👋🏻 Also Andy saying she's not willing to lose ANOTHER member of their team?? 🤔 So is it more than one? I was pretty sure Jack survives but...

The Pride Parade chaos looks crazy and could end up being so good but I just pray Carina is involved in some extent. It will be such a missed opportunity if she isn't. Give me worried Maya going frantic once hearing gun shots go off/seeing the protestors knowing her wife and their baby boy are somewhere in the stands as well. I get them having Andy be the one to tell everyone off because she's captain and is going to stick up for her friend and whatever else but I truly hope Maya gets to express her feelings on the situation as well given she's a queer character on the show. Marina need to have a discussion about what goes on at this parade, I'm begging.

the rampant kant hate in this fandom isn't surprising but it is exasperating.
