Self-introduction read for the first time
nice to meet you. My name is Yukishuri.
In this blog I would like to write an exploration record to enjoy the days of a couple in their 40s.
It's also a reckless record that I tried first if I was interested.
I think it would be great if I could exchange information with greedy people in order to have fun.

rimi mamawasatesttube do you have any opinions on possible jobs for tim 🎤 i have been thinking on it and coming up with nothing but i know in my heart he’s not a business man
DO I EVER!!!!!
there are two tracks i see this man ever pursuing and it's a) tinkerer/mechanic/gadget guy or b) investigative journalist after lois lane's own heart.
with option A it's easy to keep him in the bat scene and quite possibly involved with wayne enterprises even - just move him to the r&d department. put him in a garage. give him some machines to take apart and put back together again. he will be SO enriched and so happy. he would be MISERABLE in an office job, but this? a car autistic in his natural habitat. this man LOVES engineering. let him design batmobile upgrades for a living please please please pleaaaase
option B is a little more of a stretch, and i know the knee jerk reaction is "for the love of god dc has enough journalists" which is TRUE, but hear me out. his nosy fucking ass, okay. this guy would LOVE the lois lane playbook of "just straight up fucking lie and pretend to work here to get snippets of tantalizing information about where to look next to uncover a greater mystery". @loisinherlane once talked to me about the idea of tim interning with (and absolutely infuriating) vicki vale, who knows he's got secrets tied to the bats but canNOT get proof and is going to pull her hair out about it. plus i think it's fun because tim is a character who is really good at thinking about truth vs lies and everything in between. thematically it feels pretty fitting for him, a guy who notoriously can't keep his nose out of other people's business, to make a career out of being a snoop <3
#answers#lemonlimestar#to me a tim career needs to involve either snooping or engineering. these are his two greatest passions#i can see other occupations that also involve snooping and/or tinkering as options altho these two are my personal favs#but the second anyone posits a tim career that does not involve either being a busybody or the possibility of building a car. youve lost me#tim

This is genuinely so funny. I guess it truly was a top gun maverick summer for me gents
#tgm#personal#my sister and I played it in the car a lot this summer#and I probably played it a lot when I first started drawing tgm stuff?#idk but this was so shocking and so so funny#like am I a middle aged father who tinkers in the garage and grills a lot?#or a 29yr old artsy woman#i guess we will never know

Someone asking rhodey if it’s annoying that his husband always wants to be tinkering with cars and machinery. Meanwhile rhodey is only half paying attention daydreaming about sticking his hands into the guts of a 1947 Hawker Sea Fury with tony
#tony is a dork for planes too#I imagine these dorks tinkering with actual planes and also buying little model planes and cars to put together#and then they have their little dedicated nerd shelf to display them#rhodeytony#ironhusbands

my neighbour's ~85 year old mum is staying with them for the holidays, and I've just witnessed this little old woman walk out of the house and kick the garden fence incredibly hard multiple times whilst yelling in Polish. I'm obsessed.
#this is the same neighbour that spends approx. 6 hours a day minimum every day out fixing a car that I cannot discern a single problem with.#but no matter the weather this man will always be under the car or in the bonnet. sometimes he takes a tire off for no obvious reason.#the current theory for angry mum is that the kids are inside - the older one is usually outside from whatever time he leaves for school to#half an hour past dark (a regular shouting match ensues every night after that)#and car guy has been given strict instructions by his wife to not be out tinkering whilst his mum is staying. and so this is a house that i#usually only actually occupied by nice doctor lady and their toddler which now has a 10 year old who wants to be outside on his bike with#his friends and a guy who wants to be under his car but has been told he cant because his mother is here#and said mother who doesn't seem to get on with nice doctor lady and this is not a big house at all.#I really wish I could be a fly on the wall in their house#the shouty neighbours who are usually my source of entertainment are being surprisingly quiet. so it's down to car guy and nice doctor lady#I am also trying to write smut but my cat was screaming at me so now I'm sat at the dining table writing smut and that just feels wrong

Beth loves Top Gear and Grand Tour, and she definitely does cry watching this final episode. And yes, I may be very emotional too rn
#🔹didn't ask + ratio🔹 ooc#tbd#|| she definitely cries and is very emotional tbh#|| she escapes a lot in shows and movies and considering her love of tinkering#|| and mechanics and cars and motorbikes it just hits different

Son of Hephaestus! Toye x Son of Hermes! Luz
#READ TAGS#toye the tinker and luz the talker#they spend the day in toye's workshop#while toye builds motorcycles and cars luz is beside him talking about whatever comes to mind#then trails off when he becomes too fixated on his bf's lean and muscular arms#before toye snaps him out of it because he loves to hear luz talk while he's working#some people find luz annoying because he talks loud all the time but not toye#he loves listening to the sweet words and laugh that come out of his bf's mouth#if they aren't spending the day at toye's workshop they're at luz's comedy bar where luz does his comedy sketches#toye is always in the front row during luz's shows to show him support#someone doesn't laugh at his joke you're getting a taste of his brass knuckles#someone says his jokes are lame you're getting a tase of his brass knucles#anyway i can go on and on about them in my hbo war greek mythology crossover#but alas i cannot#joe toye#joseph toye#george luz#hepheastus#hermes#greek mythology#band of brothers#bob#bofb#hbo war#my big fat hbo war greek mythology crossover

OHOHOHOH i like this train of thought with car guy eiffel who always has a tiny screwdriver/one of those with interchangeable heads in his pocket eiffel going to engineering and screwing around with spare parts and fixing things when he needs to think eiffel who always has little metal bits and screws that hes messing with on his desk eiffel who makes little metal trinkets for his loved ones. he sits and rambles to hera about engines and different manufacturers and they design the perfect car together with her knowledge of the world and his brain for design and mechanics. im thinking very much kaylee from firefly who never understood people but somehow machines just talk to her and spring to life in her hands. doug eiffel who wanted to go to college for aerospace engineering and work for nasa but never went to college and picked up a job hauling scrap parts to pay for said college degree before he dropped out and ended up working as head mechanic and whose dreams of building space ships were reignited when cutter found him in prison. or, my saddest thought yet, eiffel already planning on building a car with his daughter for her sixteenth birthday before she was taken from him.
idk also brings new life to his relationship with hera as the ship and how no one else on the hephaestus was really fit to do big repairs, but if he had a background in mechanics he could understand her on ANOTHER level that the other crew members dont get
oh gosh, i really don't think he'd be into anything that complex! like - don't get me wrong, eiffel is smarter than people (including himself) give him credit for, but he's a handyman, not an engineer. he is like the model for undiagnosed adhd class clown; he got through high school because he tests remarkably well without ever studying, and that was just enough to keep him from failing on account of all the homework he didn't do. i fully believe that eiffel never went to college, and never intended to. he's unambitious, and i love that about him.
maxwell's got the genius mechanical aptitude, minkowski's got the hard work and dreams of spaceflight... eiffel's passion is radio. when i say he's a car guy, i don't think it's his thing like radio is his thing - he's just a guy with a head full of american pop culture biases, who likes tinkering with stuff, and who lists "monster trucks" as one of the top ten things he misses about earth. like - i feel bad that so much of this is me disagreeing with you, these are just very different things! eiffel's definitely got tools on hand, he keeps one of his tool bags by his bed, he likes building things out of spare parts - canonically, he's got a lot of technical know-how, but it's in a much more practical, hands-on way. i don't think he'd be telling hera about design, much less his own design concepts, as much as he'd be ranking his dream cars. and i do not think functionality factors in as much as "he thinks it's cool" and/or "they used that make and model in a movie that he liked."
and speaking of hera, honestly, like... eiffel's good with his hands! and he can follow her instructions and do repairs if necessary. but the kind of electronics eiffel works with are nowhere near as complex, and i don't think spaceship maintenance comes naturally to him - and it's certainly not something he wants to do!! and while it makes a pretty big difference whether we're talking general station maintenance vs. specifically hera's hardware here, i think the fact that he doesn't know how to navigate this stuff without her input is part of the reason she feels safe with him. he didn't even think about what "optical system" could mean. eiffel couldn't (intentionally) mess with hera's systems even if he wanted to. hera is so used to people who "understand" her in that way taking advantage of her; i think it's reassuring eiffel has no interest in it. he is a people person; hera's just a regular person to him.
but anyway. i think he was looking forward to teaching anne how to drive, and that would be a depressing note to leave this on, so. eiffel could not be an engineer, and i think even the thought of the work that would require would make him break out in hives, but he could be a mechanic, for whatever length of time it'd take him to get fired. and i think that would be hot. put him in another set of coveralls and get him greased up. that's what's really important.
#he's just an analog guy!! he's got a knack for radio. he could tinker with your stereo to optimize the sound quality.#he can change his own tires / oil / etc. and generally identify problems with his car but that doesn't mean he necessarily does.#he'll spend all day trying to fix a heap of junk as a hobby but routine repairs that'll take him 15 minutes? he'd sooner die#he cuts corners where he probably shouldn't. etc. eiffel hates doing anything as soon as it's work.#... i'm sorry! i really feel bad how much of this is disagreeing with you. i really appreciate the ask!#thank you for talking to me about eiffel#asks#also i've been meaning to write a post. i keep thinking about writing it but i've been so tired. but i want to talk about how#there some key ways eiffel really doesn't understand hera or what it's like for her. and that's actually important to me. like.#eiffel is really bad about assuming his experiences are universal and he loves hera and in loving hera he has to learn to decenter himself.

tinkering is one of my favorite hobbies but man they barely have anything to do that won’t kill them
#am back home and can play sims now#i would like to build my tinkerer sims enthusiam + skills without having to buy the junk car#esp when i dont have space for it. ik they can tinker with appliances but then they break them. or die.#the toy train too… it’s too big and also it can kill them.
