MASTERLIST

main/ao3: @waitingforsols

top gun/mota/aviation: @thatsrightice

band of brothers: @magnoliasforyourmedic (new!!)

BACKGROUND: I have zero rowing experience or knowledge prior to watching/reading tbitb. I do have a mechanical engineering degree with an aerospace minor, so I know what kind of classes the boys might take theoretically.

WHAT DO I POST ABOUT?

TBITB headcanons, prompts, writing ideas, fanfics I’ll inevitably write, rants, etc.

Quotes and interesting facts and pictures that I find online or in the book

Fanart (sometimes, rarely, I can’t really draw people lol)

FOR YOUR REFERENCE :)

Character Bio Presentation

Created by yours truly! Brief, but fairly thorough background information for each of the boys, specifically highlighting their personalities and relevant background info as described in the book. Here’s an example:

Al Ulbrickson Describes Each Boy in Article

Brief run down on each boy’s personality and the team’s dynamic, as described by Coach Al Ulbrickson

check out more tbitb writing references and my frequent tags below :)

Conibear Shellhouse

Floorplan blueprints, information, and video footage of the Conibear Shellhouse, the current Shellhouse used by the University of Washington Rowing Team (for my modern AU friends)

Coxswain Recordings and Analysis

This webpage by readyallrow.org is a compilation of dozens of videos of practices, head races, sprint races at both the collegiate and junior level, as well as videos from master and elite coxswains. At the end of on the list is a link to a post breaking down and conducting an in depth analysis on the footage.

Rowing Accidents

This is a list of rowing accidents compiled on the RowSafeUSA website. It lists details of rowing accidents in chronological order, and though it might not list every accident in history it is one of the most comprehensive lists I’ve seen.

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.

was thinking about that one blind professor post earlier today and how well it applied to the aptly named Team Dark

(really 'Team Dark' just sounds a lot cooler than 'Team Saves-On-Electricity')

the honda odyssey, huh?

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

Disability is not a punishment, but I think the world would be genuinely improved if every person involved in writing or regulating ingredient labels was mysteriously inflicted with at least one food allergy falling under each of the following categories: "natural flavors," "modified food starch," "artificial flavors," "spices," and "color." Down with ingredient labels so vague that they defeat the entire fucking point.

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test

[ravenkings]

while being depressing, this is also sort of fascinating to me bc there’s something so…inauthentic here. what i mean is that if you saw something like this back in say 2001 (which you probably wouldn’t, at least for carl’s jr. but i digress) it would seem tacky but in a “sex sells” sort of way.

seeing this in 2025, it’s clearly purely a political statement and you can tell partially bc the image itself is so oddly sexless. it’s like there’s more titillation in the prospect of “owning the libs” than in the image of the scantily clad blonde white woman itself.

The pills meme but it's things i wish i had

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol
