Landoscar vs two truths and a lie

Lando whispering to ask Oscar what’s in the southern hemisphere is like when you get called on in class and you don’t know the answer so you have to whisper SOS to a friend but the way Oscar replied Australia and then Lando’s just kinda there like 🔵👄🔵

Oscar’s laugh at the end when Lando’s pretty much just said great job, you do you boo

Also the fact that Oscar doesn’t make fun of Lando for his geography

I love them 😭

Idk but they just always compliment each other so well and I need more of this content PLEASE MCLAREN!

Same Lando same…

Your Hands

Summary: Joe’s hands are one of your many weaknesses. He is your weakness in only the best ways possible.

Warnings: ✨smut✨ and a little bit of fluff of course

You were craving attention, you were craving attention from your man, a specific kind of attention, but any kind would do for now.

Joe was in the office, working away at lord knows what. Probably rewatching highlights, videos from OTAs, etc. So you open the slightly cracked door and he was watching his Mac screen with an apple pen in his hand.

Joe looks up at you and a small smile graces his face.

“Hey you” he says before writing something down onto his iPad before looking back up at you.

“Hey” you smile back.

“You okay? Do you need help with anything?” He asks, lovingly.

“No, just, wanting to be near you” you say softly and he smiles at you and motions you to come in. You go and sit down in the chair in front of his desk and prop your feet up onto it.

He reaches across the desk and squeezes your ankle before going back to what he was doing which was exactly what you thought, watching videos from practice and writing down things he needs to work on.

You watch his hands as he writes on his iPad and when he twirls the pen between his fingers as he watches film. The way his fingers moved with ease and the way his veins in his hand danced every time he moved his fingers. You squeezed your thighs together, thinking about those fingers touching you, teasing you, inside you. He was turning you on and not even really doing anything, he was always good at that.

You get up from the chair and walk around the desk to him, turning his chair slightly towards you and you take your place on his lap and wrapping your arm around his shoulders. He chuckles up at you and wraps his arm around your waist, squeezing you and placing a kiss on your cheek.

“I think you want to be inside my skin” he smirks at you and you shrug your shoulders.

“Something like that” you wink and run yours fingers through his hair and press a kiss to his pretty lips.

He continues watching his screen and he rests his hand on your thigh, massaging your soft skin, as yours danced on the back of his neck.

It was normal for him to touch you like this, just out of habit, but little did he know you were getting worked up watching those damn hands move.

You weren’t as slick as you thought you were when it came to keeping how you were feeling hidden away. Joe could easily read your emotions, especially after being together as long as you two have, he knew how you were feeling before you even knew.

He felt you shift in his lap, the muscles in your thighs tightening from squeezing them together. He listened to your breathing and how it would keep ramping up along with your heart rate. He smirked to himself, knowing something has got you worked up, that you wanted to be near him but not in the innocent way he thought.

He paused his video and looked up at you, his bright blue eyes getting darker by the second.

“You okay? Do you need help with anything?” He repeats what he asked earlier but his voice now low and dark.

“Um, no, I’m good” you smile at him as best you can, the look in his eyes making your thoughts worse.

“I think you’re lying” his hand slides inbetween your thighs, but keeping his distance from the place you really wanted his hands to be.

“Joe-“

“Want to tell me what’s got you so worked up?” He leans in so his lips are brushing yours, feeling his breath on your face. God, he’s so hot.

“So I can give you what you want? What you need? Hm?” He slides his hand slightly higher up your thigh.

“Your hands” you breathe out, trying not to moan.

“Hm” he smiles smugly, squeezing your thigh with one of them.

“They always seem to be on your mind” he smirks, picking you up and setting you on top of the desk, shoving his iPad and other things out of the way.

His hands rest on your thighs, squeezing them as he presses a slow kiss to your lips.

“You are always on my mind” you admit against his lips.

“And you on mine”

He cups your cheeks and smashes his lips against yours, you couldn’t help but moan into his mouth at the contact. One of his hands slide down your abdomen and ghosts over your clothed core. You groan, wanting him to touch you. He slips his tongue into your mouth as his hand finally makes contact with your center, rubbing gentle circles over your clothed clit. You moan loudly, twirling your tongue around his and bucking your hips against his hand.

“Lift up” he orders against your lips.

You lift up your hips as he pulls your shorts down, pleased when only your shorts were between him and her.

“Love when you do that shit” he smirks, throwing your shorts on the floor.

“I know” you smirk and he raises his eyebrows at you. He looks down at you, dripping onto the desk.

“Damn baby, care if I have a taste?” He asks and you nod, giving permission.

Joe grabs your hips and scoots you more to the edge of the desk, making you squeal.

“I’ve got you” he assures you, getting down onto one of his knees, spreading your thighs apart, opening you up and leaving nothing to hide. Joe looks up at you and smiles.

“You are fucking gorgeous” he tells you and your heart swells, along with the need for him.

He places your feet on his shoulders and kisses the inside of your thighs before licking a slow stripe from your entrance to your clit. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as you hiss at the blinding pleasure.

“Taste so good, babe” he moans against you, making your hips buck at the vibrations.

He flicks his tongue against your clit making you become a moaning mess above him. He then slips his tongue into your entrance.

“Oh shit” you whimper, your mouth falling open as he continues to thrust his tongue into you.

“Oh Joe, I’m gonna cum” you whine.

He then slips his tongue out of you, despite your protest, and presses a kiss to your clit before standing up and pressing his lips to yours again. His tongue meeting yours, moaning when you taste yourself. That’s some hot shit.

“As much as I love to make you cum with my tongue, you had a specific request that I want to make sure I follow through with” he smirks before slipping one of his thick fingers into you without warning.

“Ohhh fuck” you groan. Joe rests his forehead against yours and smiles.

“You’re so tight, babe” Joe couldn’t help but moan.

He slips a second finger into you and you gasp. He pumps his fingers in and out of you, trying to slowly build you back up.

“Want a third one?” He asks against your lips and you answer with a whimper.

He slides a third finger into you, your mouth falling open. You look down at his hand, with his fingers sliding in and out of you.

“Oh fuuuuuckkkk, Joe”

The way his arm flexed, the way the veins in his arms moved as he thrusted his fingers into you made you hot all over.

Joe started to curl his fingers inside of you, pressing into the soft tissue that made the pleasure even more intense, causing you to lose the strength to hold yourself up anymore. Joe catches you and holds your body against him.

“Joe I-“

“Cum all over my fingers, baby” he whispers into your mouth.

When he feels you clinch around his fingers, he kisses you roughly but full of passion and love. He rubs his palm against your clit and that did it for you. You scream into his mouth and you release all over his hand and onto the desk below you.

“That’s it baby” Joe pulls away, talking you down after your intense orgasm, and looks down between you two, his hand drenched in your juices.

“You are so hot” he smiles. He lifts his hand up to his mouth and sucks two of his fingers into his mouth, cleaning your essence off of them. You try to catch your breath as you watch him.

Damn it, Joe. You’re getting me hot again. You think to yourself.

He brings his index finger up to your lips. You immediately take his thick digit into your mouth, swirling your tongue around it. He watches you intently, his blue eyes watching your lips, your eyes as you look up at him through your lashes.

“I am so in love with you” he breathes out.

“And I you” you smile, kissing his ski-slope nose.

He jogs out of the room, only to come back with a warm wash cloth, gently cleaning you up, along with the desk.

“Thank you, for that” you sigh, finally catching your breath.

“Always gotta help my girl out” he winks.

You look down at his shorts, the tent in his pants looking unbearable.

“Now I think you need some help” you hop off the desk, your legs shaking and almost giving out on you, Joe, of course, being there to catch you in his strong arms.

“Let me take care of this for you” you look into his pretty eyes, your hand cupping him through his shorts.

“I won’t say no to that” he smiles.

You push him down into the desk chair and on your knees to worship his beautiful chiseled body you went, as it should be worshipped.

all the cpn for wyb’s 27th birthday part one 🎂✨

look, i’m not really sure how many parts this is gonna be but we have to start somewhere. and that is what is available for us so far. i’m sure later in the day we may have a full on photoset and more edits, plus hopefully a video, and i’m really hoping a yelfie.

this is all clowning, something we have been doing for years. obvs, this is for cpn lovin turtles only!

today is a day to celebrate yibo’s life and all the good he brings to this world. feel free to scroll along if cpns is not for you. but if this is your cup of tea then go ahead and read along. ☕️

should we start with the letter? ✉️

of course we do. another heartwarming message for yibo’s day. written by someone who is obviously close to him.

Time seems to pass faster and faster. Before you can turn the pages of the past year, you have ushered in the 27th summer of your life.

the summer! HAHAHAHA! you all know that’s a keyword we love to look for. and before all these, it was a common guess that some things from xzs vlogs will be echoed here. well, the first post from that time had the caption talking about turning pages when it comes to days passing by.

This year, I know you a little better. Just like the ripples caused by a stone falling into the water, you can always bring some fresh surprises to people. You mark the shining moments in the music, and look back at your sincerity and passion in the role, witnessing your resilience and concentration.

Although there is always a time difference between people, fortunately, the morning and evening and day and night you have recorded will eventually be passed to the eyes of the next person, giving waves and excitement.

I love how the writer says they know WYB a little bit better. Years have passed and there is still something new to discover when it comes to Bobo. the imagery of the stone falling into the water which causes ripples is something we have been seeing in xzs vlog too. but i’m personally thinking of the live photo of the water.

i love how he mentions sincerity, which is a big thing between them and how they approach their work and audience. also the part about “resilience” cause i think this is something that is not highlighted that much about yibo. he has been through so much and he does so with grit and incredible resilience.

my cpn alarm bells are ringing tho with the time difference between people. i mean. 👀 well the non-cpn meaning is that it’s the difference between him shooting things and his works being seen by people. so it will take time before all his hard work will be appreciated.

the CPN tho is the difference in time between xz and wyb because of how busy they are with work. but whatever happens, they will update each other which will create that excitement.

This year, you know the world a little more. Although the itinerary is as complicated and busy as ever, you have long adapted to the way of coexisting with time and moving towards the state of mind.

The world is unpredictable, and you can calmly accept every sudden rainstorm, just like appreciating every nameless flower blooming along the way, accept imperfection, allow regrets, the mountains are high and the seas are vast, and please move forward boldly.

the first part is the same as the previous year, where the writer praises him for knowing the secret of taking it slow. for being calm despite the chaos. I feel like this is one thing that xz have always admired in yibo and hopes to be able to apply to himself too.

just appreciating every nameless flower blooming gets me because of how many times we saw flowers in xzs. that is one that always catches his eye so it’s an addition that makes it sus.

i’m also a believer that xz sees wyb as a flower, his white peony. doesn’t matter if wyb agrees with that but that’s how xz thinks of him and i find it romantic!

The experiences and meanings of growth, the wet mud, the wind carrying grit, the sunrise and sunset outside the window will all tell you: whether standing still swinging a club or preparing to strike a racket, when the ball comes, just hit it, and life is still the same.

I love this part! how the writer compares tennis to how he should approach life. just strike whatever ball comes at you in life! this tennis couple is really something else!

and the sunrise and sunset outside the window is so xz, he likes to take photos of those and share it on his weibo.

Today is great, yesterday was also good, and tomorrow will definitely be better. The journey of the heart is endless, I wish you continue to travel between mountains and rivers, and may you grow freely!

Getting better and better! that’s both of their tagline at this point. and the mountains & rivers is one that we seen in XZS post too! the exact mountains and rivers were in the finale post of the vlog which we said is a gift of sorts to wyb.

this is short and sweet! i love love love it! 💛

i’m thankful that yibo allows us to read this letter every year.

and now we move on to the art works (?)

first stop is the bday poster where he is decked out in lacoste , with that pink beanie and pink letters in the back. i swear, he has been embracing pink as his color! cause that is the color of love 💗

1. the font is similar to what was used before in xz’s bday.

2. i love how the second photo shared in XHS had that pink spray paint effect going on, that’s so yibo’s style! the artist really knows what yibo likes.

3. the theme seems to be blue and pink, tho the XHS one appears to be a different shade of green(?). but… the lights in p1, that’s definitely blue and pink with some violet on it. which kinda reminds me of the bisexual pride flag colors.

4. the “paint” background looks like a z and that (.) after aug is so xiao zhan! that’s kinda like his signature. it he can’t put that z. then we will see the clues in other places.

5. Love how this photo was chosen by YBO! and all the colors in the letters 🌈 considering the cpn we had about this and PRIDE. also the scribbles of stars and moon! come on!

that is all for now. i know there will be more interpretations and signs but this is are the ones i gathered. if there is one that really stands out, i will post about it separately. feel free to share your other cpns but i will not be able to add it to the original post!

HAPPY YIBO’S DAY 💚💚💚💚

i wish that whatever is going on your life and around you right now, you will still get to enjoy this very special day and smile. 😊

Xavier: Celestial Message✨Highlights

love how they've added a surreal sort of vibe to this card..a prince out of a fairy tale and you, his beloved betrothed ♡

Firstly let's take a moment to appreciate the cake. It's so adorable and beautifully adorned in Forget-me-nots, his signature flower 🥹

Secondly, the video begins with a montage of all the moments we've had with him in the Main Story and leads up to the actual intro of the birthday celebration..

NOTICE HOW THE VIDEO TRANSITIONS FROM OUR FIRST INTERACTION WHERE HE CURTLY GRABS OUR WRIST..

..TO THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION WITH US HOLDING HANDS, GENTLY DRAGGING HIM ALONG 🥹

You are the one who asks Xavier for a dance ♡

And so..his eyes slowly lower towards your proffered hand..

He points out how it's usually a gentleman who waits for a lady to say yes to his dance proposal, he's the one being asked.

And he happily accepts 🥹

The card is full of beautiful moments that accentuate the tenderness and romance throughout this dance 🥰

NOTICE HIS JOYFUL SMILE! HOODED EYES!

HIS SLIGHTLY FLUSHED SKIN!

he's literally glowing ✨ brimming with joy

And did you guys realize that the fountain isn't lit?

It's actually Xavier who uses his evol to light up the fountain ✨

the fountain lighting up is like a metaphor of you lighting up Xavier's life. or that Xavier lights up whenever he's with you 🥹

Then there it is..the moment of confession!

Try to understand that it's been around 214 years of him holding this in..🥺

And now, he finally tells you that he likes you ♡

THE RELIEF IN HIS GAZE AS YOU HUG HIM, ASSURING HIM THAT YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY

honestly my favourite part from this entire pv 🫶

followed by a passionate and dreamy, fairytale-like kiss 😘

And of course, as someone pointed out in an earlier post..There's a scene from the famous film Princess Diaries where Anne Hathaway says:

“when a girl gets seriously kissed, her foot kinda *pops*”

And that's exactly what we can see here..♡

a deep kiss, mustering all the feelings Xavier has held for you for so long..and i love that it's you/MC who initiates the kiss, which encourages him, and further leads to 2-3 more passionate kisses 😍

BEAUTIFUL CARD OVERALL 💯

Xavier Girls, we stay winning with our man 🤭

Lazy girl who? I am in my productive era🦋

I have been on this long journey of trying to figure out how to find beauty in productivity and not do it just because “i have to”. Here are some tips to make your everyday life magical:

🔹Invest in a planner. IDC what anyone says, but i love waking up in the morning and organising my day. Planner helps me in organising my mind, laying out in advance what i have to do for the day, building habits, making time for fun activities etc.

🔹Make a monthly vision board instead of yearly. If not vision boards, just have a mental idea of all the goals you have to achieve for yourself to “be that girl”. Build habits accordingly, and give yourself small challenges. For example, if you want a healthy glowing skin, challenge yourself to drink 8 glasses of water everyday for 7 days and build it accordingly. Baby steps✨

🔹 Act as if you’re filming a YouTube video. If you’re like me, and you find exercising boring, what you can do is, pretend as if you’re filming a YouTube video for your subscribers. Sure, it sounds silly, but it works for me and makes me excited to do it.

🔹 Try to journal as often as possible. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. It’s something to help you keep focused on your goals and not distract you. 

🔹 Romanticise your life. This could mean anything for you. From dressing up early in the morning just to stay inside, (i mean wheres the rule that you can only dress up when you go out?) to buying cute scented candles for your room. However, it’s ur creativity your choice. I personally use apps like STOIC to record my overall day highlights at the night.

🔹 Affirmations and other manifestation techniques. Ofc, this is so important. This is what my whole blog is about.

🔹 Keep your weekends off and just unwind yourself from all the work you’ve done through the week and unwind yourself. Spend those days with family and friends.

In the end, remember not all your days are going to be 10/10 productive and it’s okay. Take baby steps. 3 months from now, you’ll thank yourself.

what’s out: pisces/12H placements have pretty feet

what’s in:

pisces/12H placements have ethereal beauty. their skin is often really supple and they have the best chances of acquiring healthy, dewy skin.

a lot of their features are soft, or are actually physically soft like soft hair, skin, etc.

they are good at acquiring what works best for them and are naturally good at figuring out their tastes and working with variety (pisces exalted in venus + sister sign virgo). no like seriously they go with what feels right to them and often get good results and a put-together appearance that feels natural to them.

because they’re so connected to what feels right (again, sister sign virgo does the same but with a different method), they often find the skincare or beauty routine that fits perfectly for them eventually. with 10/10 results ✨

on the extreme side, they are prone to oily/combination hair and sensitive skin that they have to balance (jupiter+neptune teacher/expansion ability) like i swear pisces/12H placements i know tend to go between extremes when it comes to health, like acne breakouts, their diet and intake, hair shedding, etc etc. they go through things that help them learn what’s best for them physically because they often don’t take notice until it smacks them in the face. or they suffer from poor self-confidence and esteem and have to learn from the ground up what’s best for them.

natives could have a naturally well-proportioned body with even distribution of fat. ik you see this observation with libra risings but literally libra AC’s 6H is ruled by pisces, and that house is the body, health, routine and work. pisces/12H placements just get that for free 😤💞

alluring, mysterious aura that is mainly composed of good mannerisms, posture, and striking features or striking eyes

rosy. look, i think 90% of my observations with pisces placements is that their skin fucking. glows or shines. they just have good blood circulation or smth idk it is so pretty to me. maybe that’s where the pretty feet stereotype comes from because their blood circulation is good LOL. they look radiant. they don’t need highlighters man their skin oil does that all by itself 😭

I think with 12H placements this will depend more on the sign and the planet rather than the house giving all these attributes, but the dewy skin look + alluring mannerisms is obvious with these people

owl eyes. they’re the people with the renowned ‘sanpaku’ eyes like i don’t get why neptune aspects get all these attributes but the actual sign it rules doesn’t. Or if we don’t label them with ‘sanpaku’, they just have really round eyes that again, have that soft gaze that can be really eye-catching. you know those makeup videos where they emphasise the eye wrinkles, double eyelids and eye fat and it makes them look doll-like? they have that naturally. i know.

OR, they have that heavy-lidded, hooded eye look. that’s where you hear the ‘dreamy’ gaze from.

ngl a lot of pisces/12H placements probably look like they came out from a dream but they’re also most appeared in the charts of serial killers and murderers. like sorry to get a bit dark but people assume they’re trustworthy and naturally alluring. that jupiter+neptune influence and charm (+ renowned ‘innocence’) is deadly idk why ppl sleep on this.

[estebanocon]

Ok, here's my recap of seeing Esteban over the Singapore GP! I've been attending every Singapore GP since 2017 and have supported Esteban each year. For me the highlight from this year was finding out that not only does he recognise my face, he also knows my name. 🥹

The video above is a compilation from two days: Thursday and Saturday. Full story below the cut. 👇

PRE-RACE WEEKEND / ESTEBAN'S BIRTHDAY

I've been travelling since late July and my flight back to Singapore from Vancouver was actually on Esteban's birthday. I had already committed to editing a video to celebrate his achievements at Alpine. Some of you (bless y'all, seriously) answered my open call for art/video/message submissions and I spent the afternoon before my flight putting it together. I'm happy I got it done and I was even happier when Esteban commented thanking us for it just before I got on my plane. You can watch the video on Instagram here.

THURSDAY

A.K.A. The day after I arrived back in Singapore after 2 months on the road and a 16-hour time difference. I have no idea how I wasn't severely jetlagged lol.

I got to the paddock entrance after 1pm, early enough to still get a spot in front of the barrier, but gosh there were so many people this year. Either F1 has really exploded in popularity (especially with the younger generation) or we just have more fans from overseas coming to Singapore for the race (why tho, it's so hot y'all). Luckily I had a friend with me and he was kind enough to help me take videos when Esteban arrived.

My friend hadn't hit record yet so the video missed Esteban saying "good to see you again, how are you doing?", and you can scroll back up for the rest. ☺️ He thanked me after I asked if he'd seen the birthday video and then there was an awkward moment when I didn't know if we were doing a fist bump or a handshake but man's a gentleman and didn't make me feel weird about it. 🫠

I don't know why after seeing him so many times I still get nervous but I was, and I struggled to take the cap off my marker so he could sign my cap. He very kindly took it from me to open it himself but my marker betrayed me and wasn't working properly (now that I think about it, it also happened the very first time I asked him to sign my hat back in 2017 🤡). Thankfully the girl next to me offered her red marker which actually worked (though Este stabbed the life out of it first to be sure). 🙏

I initially wanted to hang around in the evening with some friends who were coming after the pitlane walk. But at 7pm it was already super crowded and I don't even know why (all the drivers, TPs and media are already in the paddock at this point and won't come out till late that night). So yeah, I just went home to not tire myself out before the race weekend actually started.

FRIDAY

I've accumulated quite a bit of merch since last year so I was bringing a different one on each day for him to sign haha. In the selfie I'm wearing a shirt he signed the day before.

I normally try not to take up too much of his time because he always does his best to make sure all the fans get something from him. I only had one shirt for him to sign but after he did, he continued standing in front of me so I just took out my phone for this picture and then he went on his way. Este is bestie fr. 😭🫶

I didn't hang around outside the paddock again on Friday night because I went to watch OneRepublic. ✨

SATURDAY

The best day for me because this was when I managed to get most of my selfies (including with Mick, who I missed on Thursday because he came with Esteban and obv I have priorities) and also because Esteban managed to drag the car out of Q1. 👏

It was also a good day because I asked Esteban if he could write my name on the cap and as I was trying to spell it out for him, he cut me off because he knew, he just didn't see it was me at first because some guy had draped a huge flag over my friend and me for him to sign. 😭🫶

We tried to wait outside the paddock after qualifying but they started chasing us out at 12am and since they had armed police out in full view, we decided to not fk around and find out. (At previous SGPs they'd stay in the van so we never actually saw them.) Also didn't help that Esteban chose that moment to leave so people started mobbing him and even though he tried to stop at first, security physically pushed him to the exit. 🥲 (which was probably for the best tbh)

SUNDAY

I actually gave Este the wrong hat to write my name on (I wanted him to write it on the cap from his store, not the Alpine one) so I had to ask him again and he kindly obliged.

That night I was lucky to catch him just before he left the circuit, there were some fans running alongside him because he wasn't stopping but he stopped when he saw me. 😭🫶 I got a quick hug and he said see you next year so I guess the greedy mfs at SGP are going to continue getting my money smh.

BONUS ESTE'S BESTIES

Here's a picture of stuff I got signed by Este, as well as some gifts I got from other Esteban fans! And also, a picture of me and Fiq who I met for the first time on race day.

== Disability Pride Month ==

Did you know July is Disability Pride Month? I know many of our crewmates are disabled and so I wanted to highlight this pride month in honor of them. Below is a wonderful video by ChronicallyJenni on instagram. I'm including the transcription of the video as well below. Found via the lovely @a-little-revolution here on tumblr.

"It's July & that means it's Disability Pride Month! But what actually is DPM?! I didn't know until a few years ago either so here's the run down!

Disability Pride Month was born out of the disability rights movement in July 1990 to commemorate the passing of the Americans with disabilities act (ADA). It has since become a global celebration, as well as an act of protest in order to campaign for the world to be more inclusive of disabled people. The first Disability Pride Parade in the UK was held in Brighton in 2016. Whilst we love our LGBTQIA+ friends & community members, #DisabilityPrideMonth has nothing to do with LGBTQIA+ Pride, they just happen to be next to each other.

The 3 main goals of Disability Pride Month are: ✨ To change the way people think about & define disability. ✨ To break down & end the internalised shame felt by people with disabilities. ✨ To promote the belief in society that disability is a natural, beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride.

All of these things are so incredibly important & change needs to be made in wider society in regards to ableism, accessibility & representation. Especially as being disabled is one of the only minority groups anyone can find themselves in overnight. Things are improving but I long for more disability representation in the media & in governance.

It's taken me a long time to discover my self worth as a person with a disability. And, don't get me wrong, being disabled is really tough But my disability has made me stronger, more resilient , more adaptable & has helped me find myself and the things that are important to me in a way I wouldn't have experienced otherwise. It's also helped me find the most incredible friends & community across the world.

I am disabled and I am proud." Happy Disability Pride Month Lovelies! I hope you have many many good days <3

Top 5 myths/legends/folklore? :)✨

Thank you for the fun ask! ✨ (and sorry for taking so long!)

1. The Sacrifice of Iphigenia

I'm not exactly sure why, but it may be my favourite piece of Greek mythology. There's just something about it that resonates with me. I definitely prefer the versions in which Iphigenia gets saved at the last minute by Artemis (and I'm here for any potential queer readings).

I also think it's interesting how it highlights the parallels between a wedding ceremony and a ritual sacrifice (things like white colour symbolising purity, symbolic death of the bride for her old family, priest being present, a subsequent feast, even the fact that blood was technically expected in both cases). Something I've been thinking about ever since I watched the new Contrapoints video.

2. Hyacinth and Apollo

The original death of a twink! Jokes aside, it's quite a tragic story. What I find the most interesting about the myth however is how Hyacinth was mourned/celebrated during the Spartan festival of Hyacinthia. If you want to get really heretic, you could see the festival as a forerunner of some of the later Christian Easter traditions, with the whole death/rebirth motive.

3.  Lady Godiva

One of the earliest examples of women getting involved in British politics!

Again, jokes aside, I do appreciate this legend because it is essentially a story of a woman taking risks for a cause that she believes in. It also brings up the idea that femininity can be used as a weapon. That is not necessarily my most favourite take of all, but it's certainly interesting - and this old English myth captures that perfectly!

also the iconography is so cool I mean--

4. The Legend of El Dorado

I definitely think that the legend of the mythical city filled with gold located somewhere in South America can tell one a lot about European colonialism. Not an expert on it by any means (though I'd love to read more about it at some point), but I really enjoyed how it was portrayed in Voltaire's Candide!

5. The Golem of Prague

Okay, obligatory hometown reference. I do find Jewish folklore genuinely fascinating, and the story of a being made of clay that came to life is perhaps the most interesting of all! Some parallels can be traced with later stories - like Frankenstein - or even with things like robots or AI, if you stretch the definition a bit.

It can be seen as a warning that technology can turn against its creator which dates all the way back to the 16th century!

(I also find it really interesting how much emphasis Jewish culture places on the power of words, and the story of the Golem is a great example of it, since words are literally what brings the golem to life).

are you more of a cat or dog person?

All my life I’ve thought I’d only like dogs until like 2 years ago when I discovered the magic of ✨cat videos✨ and now I love cats so much. So I guess both? But I feel like I have such a love-hate relationship with cats because every time, and I mean every time, I see a stray kitty and I do the pspspsp to pet them they always run away…but it’s totally fine I don’t mind it (I’m heart broken) Maybe I do something wrong? But actually two days ago there was one that let me pet him and he even had the cutest little meows so I’ll take that as a win and it was like the highlight of my day

My Hero Academia: Animation Exhibition

Quickly rising from the grave to share some pictures from the My Hero Academia exhibition that is currently being held in Japan!

It's called My Hero Academia: ANIMATION, an exhibition that highlights some of the biggest moments from season 6 through various forms of art. 99.9% of the photos I took are villain only of course but obviously the exhibition features the heroes too. So if you would like to see them just keep reading!

Outside the exhibition were two posters to promote the exhibition. The photo on the left is the villain poster. The photo on the right is the ticket and a character sheet that everyone gets. The character you get is random so I was SO lucky that I got Toga!

Inside the exhibition, they start out with a compilation video of the season. Then, you get to the main part of the exhibition, where they have various ways of highlighting some of the most important scenes of the season.

They start out with a cardboard cutout of a few hero characters before having this screenshot compilation to have you be sad right away.

After that you turn a corner and look... I don't like him, but this was actually such a cool display! The feathers were hanging down on a string so they had actual movements!

Moving on we get to one of my favorite parts of the exhibition! They had a screen where they had a tribute to Twice and Toga, with a screen that played some of their shared scenes accompanied by sad music. Around it were panels of them and pieces of dialog they exchanged was hanging around the screen as well... (the second one reads "thank you for saving me"

I think after that they had some sketches from the season, but you're not allowed to take photos of those so skipping to the better part:

Fun fact: right after this they had the tank Shigaraki is in on the wall as a photo spot and one of the employees pointed at it and was offering to take a photo so I said thanks and quickly escaped to the next part lol. So you go to this small hallway and on the walls to the left and right they had these panels from little Tenko which was suuper cool. I was a big fan of the fact they had all these 3D (is that what you call this?) versions, which made it feel more real.

And going straight you walk right up to him.

Shortly after they had a screen showing Shigaraki fighting against the heroes. Right next to the screen they had cardboard cutouts of Deku and Endvr, and on the left they had cardboard cutouts of Shouto and Bakugou, with light effects choreographed in tune with the music of the fight! I had like a split second to take this shot.

They also had this panel and quote compilation afterwards:

Then, we get ✨the girls✨

And now... moving on to the one and only:

After this short scene introduction they had the COOLEST thing ever and I need to own this for personal reasons. It's a Touya cutout, with LED-lit light to really bring his flames to light. In the background it has the "the past never dies" quote and an image of each of his family members. The light was going dark and bright which was really cool and I took a video of that too but here are some photos:

I was really glad they also included Dadpress!

They had some moments from Touya's backstory highlighted as well, but I HAD to take a photo of this summary, because at the end it says that he is "standing up once more from Shouto and his family's words" - standing up is just not the word I would've used for the guy's pathetic reaction but suuuuure.

Anyway, that was it for the villain moments in the exhibition. At the very end they had this huge Deku figure and I had to take a photo because it looks like he's about to beat me up.

Fortunately, he didn't land a blow so I made it out safely, where I was walking up to see the gang:

And yes, they also had a merch section, where I got some nice stuff!

Overall, it was a fun little exhibition and I was happy to see the villains being included so much. Unfortunately, merch-wise it was mainly Shigaraki, Touya, and Toga but I got a villain washi tape, which has one screenshot of each LoV member so that's super cute!

That's it - hope you guys enjoyed the few photos. It was definitely cooler in person and it was difficult to edit some of the photos due to the lighting in the exhibition, but I hope this post somewhat conveys the atmosphere.

✨Fanfiction Friday✨

Hello, all you lovely readers and writers alike!✨🌈✨

Happy Friday! It’s time to highlight some wonderful authors and fanfiction of AO3 💫

I can smile at the old days—by @zackprincebooks aka @esteemedbastard

A case of a god falling from the heavens and getting adopted by Jin, this story follows the tale of Xiè Lián in an isekai-type tale.

This author is highly talented in writing, made some incredibly detailed fics, has a wonderful grasp on prose writing, and fantastically showcases what healthy polyamory looks like. I highly recommend giving this a read (as well as the Explicit ones, if that’s your jam…like me ✨)

Night Terror by @the-bar-sinister

For the video game enjoyers, especially on the Ace Attorney side, this is a beautiful short read. Detailing hurt and comfort in a way that is relatable, the author is able to capture the fluffiness in just a few words.

Hostile Takeover by @snugglesquiggle

Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Check! Novel length? Check, check, CHECK IT OUT! Step into the sci-fi world with this tale, following J and her worker drone assistants. I know a few of my mutuals who love futuristic sci-fi, and speaking of…

Breathtaker by @autism-purgatory

Another banger by FlopEraFics, this Call of Duty fic features one of MY favorite characters (as well as others), Ghost. The fic follows Soap on an expedition to Alaska, where the author beautifully details the scene to the crashing of the helicopter, to the frigid white cold of the landscape, down to the playful bantering in Soap’s squadron. Be sure to check out his works!

(He also makes original stories that are fantastic reads. Check them out!)

Tuesday event or is it by @wyked-ao3

If you’re a Supernatural fan, you’re gonna love this one. Sam Winchester and Gabriel are caught in a time loop, and need to figure out how to get back to normal. Some wacky and fun hijinx in this tale, including a candy shop/bakery AU they go to. This fic puts the “fun” in “dysfunctional” (as told by the author’s sister). Give it a look!

Speaking of Supernatural…

The One with the Double Date by @piscesapplelady35

An amazing dialogue writer, this author writes the quips between Dean and Cas so hilariously that my ribs hurt from laughing so much. Seriously, go see for yourself just how genius the dialogue is! It makes the characters so relatable, and the banter that much more believable.

There are obviously so many more creative and amazing authors out there, so I implore you to go out and see them for yourself! ✨
