#would there be age categories?

Is thawfest more akin to the Olympics or a school sports carnival?

I think if I were to put Percy in an alternate house Id actually make him a puff

like i get where people are coming from with he's ambitious = he's Slytherin like yeah makes sense

but I think i could make the same argument with He's hardworking = he's Hufflepuff

though this is more for like outside reasons

If he (or any Weasley really) was put in Slytherin i think the rest of the family would really not take it well at all

I wont say to extent of outright disownment but the way that person would be treated would be way worse especially by their siblings

that disappointment would be there with any house tbh but with like Hufflepuff it gets turned into a small thing

light jabs and such vs outright hostility

little things that build up over time that fit's thematically with how Percy felt less and less like he belonged in his family but that said family didn't think anything of saying

vs a strong explosion that a Slytherin sorting would cause

in the trenches rn

i'm 2 days into reading a 160k word fic and i'm nearing the end but tbh the good part is over and now i'm just waging through.

not in a bad way though the fic is like REALLY good. it's just, the part of the plot i really liked is over.

i am completely bewitched by their pathetic presence and sad eyes please god help me i need them so bad

okayyy something just clicked in my head and i realized something. isn’t mercedes in need of a junior driver? because even if alex gets promoted into f3 they’re missing one in f2, no?

like the other main one is doriane but isn’t she committed in wec too?

like i might be wrong but 🤷🏼‍♀️ (feel free to correct me btw)

i think you probably know where i’m going with this… (unlikely but there’s still a chance)

on a lighter note, the headcanons had me going 🥹🥹 and tysm for the kind words in your other respond <3

-🩵

that's very true! even if alex makes the jump straight to f3 (which idk how likely it is rn…), they still wont have anyone in f2. doriane also isnt rlly a contender either, she hasnt been doing too well in freca (which i mean is understandable considering how many series shes been doing lol). i mean it would be funny to see paul back there but i see the possibility being like 0.00001% 😭 dont think they wouldve let him go if they even wanted to keep him a little bit, plus i dont think he would wanna go back after what they did. and i mean to be fair, even if they have no drivers in f2/3, they also have fred as a "junior" ready to jump in if they need him.

very similar to the fda's current situation tho… so we think dino is gonna stay in the fda? then ig they would have one driver in f2, and then likely rafa in f3. but if they dont have dino… who are they gonna put in the haas seat when ollie gets promoted to ferrari……..

potentially hot take (depends on if ur a fucking pissbaby coward i guess): if you, as a man who listens to hip hop and considers himself a lover of hip hop, lose the ability to tell whether the verses and flow are good or not when the rapper is a woman, then guess what?

YOU DON'T LOVE HIP HOP.

YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE HIP HOP.

Fake gamer girls aren't a thing, but you know what is nigga?

FAKE RAP BOYS.

THAT'S YOU.

fuckin poseur

Callie I fear all the kayaking talk is making me want to watch it.

Where do you suggest I should start? Are there any documentaries? Or a racing calendar? Any fun personalities?

ummmm this one is hard... are you looking for sick stunts or are you looking for like. following the slalom racing community. because they DO overlap ! but its a different vibe for sure. one is a formalized racing series and the other is a buncha adrenaline junkies sending it on the largest rapid youve ever seen looking like a little leaf stuck in a sink of froth. also this sport is crazy niche and i have a hard time recommending personalities because i know some of these guys. like its small. bear with me

if you ARE looking to get into the racing, now is actually a good time because slalom is an olympic sport ! i got little bitches from wnc crawling all over paris rn like weevils. i recommend checking out people like current C1 olympic gold champion from australia JESS FOX and first woman to qualify for all three olympic paddlesports events EVY LIEBFARTH. i have no idea who is competing in the mens because i dont know any of those guys and i dont really care about them ! you can also do the time honored olympic tradition in finding out who was born closest to your specific geographic region and supporting THEM ! but im rooting for evy she owes my dad like $200 and i think thats funny. also i sold her some foam for her boat that im assuming is being used at the olympics which is funny to me. can my boat foam win a gold medal.

sick stunts: dane jackson is kind of objectively the best paddler in the world he wins the nonslalom races every year AND the freestyle championships etc, but my brother has beef with him and hes a nepo baby. like his dad owns a major kayak manufacturer. hes still good though. next its probably aniol serrasoles plus his brother. hilariously my brother ALSO has beef with him (he admits that its mostly his fault bc aniol had a smashed open nose at the time so no one was in a good mood). after that like. nouria newman (yelled at my brother and he deserved it. distinguished lesbian. my au dani pedrosa prototype bc she retired from slalom to do crazy expedition kayaking but still shows up and smashes the more extreme whitewater races a couple times a year. article about her here). ummm ben marr. never met the guy. i would also recommend checking out past green race vids, north fork race vids, the mountain games, and some fun carnage videos if you enjoy watching people flop as much as i do

People always justify “awkward quirky teenage girls” by saying what teenage girl would not be awkward and quirky as if all teenage girls are the same.

[iwonderwh0]

If there's one thing to thank anti hankcon discourse it's for the folks around their thirties gathering to tell the teens that they are, in fact, adult enough to decide for themselves who to fuck with and that they do, in fact, find older people attractive.

(And also collectively asking folks in their teens-to-early 20s to stop using the word p*dophilia when talking about literal 30+ years olds.)

Like really, throwing this words in relation to adults downplays its actual weight in its actual fucking meaning, and this is really scary. Age gap might be a controversial topic but not anywhere near it is a matter of comparable scale to what the word ped*philia stands for. Don't turn this word into a buzzword, I'm begging you.

[skrunksthatwunk]

ok u know that fake 80s horror movie meme that people did on tiktok well aside from the blatant goncharov plagiarism i feel like the idea isnt inherently bad but trying to convince people the movie is real while giving it an obscure and therefore easily googleable name like zapotha is unwise. like goncharov was always openly fake but the video said they want to convince people zepotha is real. too easy to fact check imo.

something a bit different: a scrapped idea~~

so one time i made a piece of art based on YugamiP’s “Alice of Human Sacrifice” (here). this was an old version of this fanart project before i settled on a single traditional piece with all the characters in it.

as a former ibispaintx user, i really loved the stain glass style that could be achieved w its tools (there was a whole official tutorial on it and everything). i used to make some of these styled pieces and wanted to try again with different individual pieces for each “Alice”. unfortunately after i finished meiko it wasnt really clicking for me. idk if it was bc i didnt want to repeat the time-consuming process three more times, or if i was just rusty with the style, or if the idea wasn’t as cool as i thought it was but some of the sauce was lost. so thats when i returned to the drawing board and thought of a different approach.

i figured i’d share the completed meiko piece since it is complete and all and i dont want to let a perfectly fine (if a little mid, by the standards i was trying to shoot for) piece sit around and collect dust.

here are the sketches for the rest of the gang :]

i remember struggling with the poses, miku in particular. also had no idea what i wanted to do with background elements besides vague color shapes and roses which is what i settled on for meiko. i think that roadblock was also another factor that turned me off from this.

anyway if you like this stain glass idea more than what i actually ended up drawing then.. sorry. i suppose!

[elisedonut]

fuck i'm actually going to end up enjoying Sevpercy huh

maybe in a picky I like them when they are in my head or when I do it kind of way

or in a time travel way because when it comes to Snape I like his teenage self a lot more than his adult self

GIRL......................... suspension of disbelief I know but.

Obviously you can pick out a BUNCH of the dragons as that Is an ongoing trope (dragons aging differently than humans, so they can look younger than they "actually are") (also while I did try to avoid including them to make them more comparable to Nino, I think Flayn can fit in either category for the purposes of The Context -- esp cause her dragon blood is meant to be secret)

Not only do we have Heroes skewing younger (a lot fitting into another trope of What If There Was A Baby Sister) we also have Baby Banner. Where the whole point is they are baby.

LIKE....... maybe I'm speaking way too soon and maybe the whole point IS this will backfire LMFAO, but it IS absurd to be presented with her art (which, def still looks youthful!) and having her say yeah I can pass as a kidnapped child. Which COULD be true! But also what do you mean no one is going to know you're a part of the Heroes. Why is no one fighting her on this. Not even including the dragons there are like a handful of Heroes who fit into her exact vibe. Some even MORE baby than her.
