#wt meme

[dreamweave01]

You can't expect me not to turn them into this meme. I had to.

Don't know how I feel about Noa's hair. I keep changing it cuz I'm just not happy with it yet.

It will probably change in the future.

hello Fresh TV writer. In front of you is a sheet of paper. Your challenge is to write Owen's character without dumbing him down or revolving his entire personality around fart jokes. You have 3 hours until the saw trap goes off.

akdjeklssj ‘bro why is being perceived such an ordeal’ is an all timer for that pic choice…pure misery in Casey’s eyes, Jorge clearly on an entirely different planet in his own mind, Valentino plottin & schemin all hours of the day every day of the week

from here. DELIGHTED to get this ask because I've been bravely resisting adding context notes to the text posts. feels against the spirit of the exercise somehow. but I LOVE this photo... not only is it just evocative in its right, but it also really fits the vibe of that presser and time period more generally. and your interpretation is pretty much spot on

the photo is from the pre-event press conference at sepang 2010. which was of course the race after motegi, where valentino put in a truly generational spite ride to deny jorge a spot on the podium. if anyone reading this for some reason hasn't watched that race, please go do that - just remember to shake your head the whole time to show everyone you don't approve of what you're watching. valentino had been heavily struggling in that stretch of the season with the nasty shoulder injury he should have already gotten surgery for. he's constantly in a lot of pain and he's also watching his irritating young teammate cruise to that year's title and he can't do anything about it... and jorge's closest championship challenger couldn't even start the race in motegi, which essentially ended the title fight then and there. annoying

so valentino does the only sensible thing you can do in that situation and decides he can at the very least least ensure jorge has a bad day. it is just so obvious that valentino would rather crash his teammate out than let him beat valentino in that race. it's some of the most aggressive riding of valentino's career, a duel that goes right to the last lap with quite a bit of contact between the pair of them. obviously it wasn't ever likely to actually cost jorge the title, but oddly enough the yamaha garage did not look thrilled by the show their riders were putting on. after the race in motegi, valentino is delighted as it's probably the most fun he's had in AGES ("was fun" he tells his mechanics the moment he gets off the bike), yamaha is furious at him for repeatedly almost knocking off their soon-to-be title winner... and jorge cannot quite avoid showing just how pissed off he is in the post-race interviews

except jorge's problem is that it doesn't take him long to realise he doesn't actually WANT to start this big drama with valentino - not when he's about to seal his first premier class title. it's effectively diverted all attention away from his first match point race... in the context of this dominant season, everyone's way more excited about this fresh bit of drama. valentino doesn't even really hit back at jorge's comments on this particular occasion. he did his talking on the track this time. quite a lot of talking, all things considered. so he can mostly get away with playing innocent and talking up how much he'd enjoyed that lovely fight with jorge. discussed more here, but these are his immediate post-race comments -

and of course valentino doesn't really NEED to say any more than that, because jorge's comments are enough to set things off. the media furore is such that by the time they land in sepang, jorge is very much in 'oh god please stop talking about this' mode. which leads to one of my all time fave presser moments: jorge straight up pretending like nothing happened at motegi. zero subtlety, beautifully awkward, not the finest moment for his acting abilities... but he commits to it, asks the moderator “what happened in japan?" - and then opts for an exaggerated "AH YES, I signed two more years with yamaha". and it's just. I suppose it does the trick in that he simply refuses to engage with the questions about it, but trust me when I say it's not the smoothest evasion of a question I've seen in my life

and while all this is happening, check out these all timer reaction shots courtesy of valentino and casey, kindly rendered in gif form by @/della46 (gifs here)

you can see jorge's little 'ahhh!!' in the second gif as if he's figured out what the moderator was referring to. I just. love both of their reactions so much. valentino's smirk as he does an exaggerated tip of the head to get a look at his teammate. casey's open grin as he likewise glances over at jorge. like it's just FUN... they both know exactly what jorge's doing and why... they both want to take a look at jorge's expression... they're both enjoying this bit of theatre. jorge is not enjoying this. he just wants to seal the title in peace

in the end, he does just that at sepang - though of course valentino has to steal the limelight once again by coming back from twelfth on the first lap to beat jorge and dovi. also just happens to be valentino's 46th win for yamaha, because of course it is. which leads to quality scenes in parc fermé, where the cordial congratulations between the pair of them gives way to them hamming it up with their celebrations a few feet away with each other. dovi's presence also adds a certain je ne sais quoi to proceedings, with him and valentino just ever so friendly with each other on the podium in a moment of anti-jorge solidarity. two men who simply refused to lose to jorge lorenzo on that particular day

and with that, back to the pre-event presser photo. following on from some proper fun press conference theatrics. features casey, who is at this point just waiting out the rest of his ducati career - he'd recently stumbled upon a rich vein of form, but ducati's decline was still ongoing and he just seemed sick of the whole thing. immediately crashes out of sepang too. valentino, who has been in severe pain since the second race of that season and really, really should be going off to get his shoulder fixed - but as least he's managed to make life just a little more unpleasant for jorge during what should be such a joyous time for him. and jorge, who is about to achieve his biggest dream. who has just spent a press conference trying to play down this stupid drama started by his stupid teammate. this stupid drama which is now the biggest topic of conversation. and will be for the foreseeable future. he just wants to be left alone... please leave him alone

💖 [What made you start writing?]

just answered this one but. to go a bit further into it, i decided to pursue writing as 'slightly more than a hobby' because i've always had a lot of trouble connecting with the people around me, socially, and making stories (and art) has been about the only way i've managed to create lasting, meaningful bonds with people. it's kind of like a preview of the actual person behind the scruffy, awkward, shaky exterior. i've always struggled with self-worth, so it's me trying to redeem myself for being. uh. me... and giving love in a way that people might actually want to receive it.

💔 [Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?]

as in, which story put me through the wringer while writing it? that would be We The Sunset. both Cullen and Dorian have so much trauma to overcome and they want so badly to do right by each other after doing a lot of wrong in their lives. i actually wasn't sure i was going to be able to give them a remotely happy ending, but Dorian came around in the 11th hour. after going through all 5 stages of grief first, of course, drama queen that he is.

One thing I dislike the most out of all the things that happened over months-how passive Luke is. He might be a knight on a white horse offline, whatever. But on SM? Yay, he liked/not liked (y/n)! That’s it. That’s all.

Idk, do something man? You have an established platform already, you can’t just disappear without a trace and just leave all this mess behind so Nicola can fix it for you.

I think L has partially been trying to not poke the bear w/ NDA obligations in place. He's liked 54% of N's posts since "Round 2", which is pretty good since he's not supposed to appear to be in a rel. w/ her much less be her baby Daddy.

Tbf, he's never been a voluminous poster - in his rel. w/ J, she did most of the posting. He's historically reposted or liked Bridgy posts. He used to make commentary on Twitter back in the day, but that ceased a few yrs. ago w/ too much hate coming his way.

N has borne the brunt of the criticism lately since she's the one who used to post alot more personalized content. L has actually posted more Polin than N in the last 9 mos. - the bloopers from the WT, the Polin meme on Mean Girls day, Colin's b-day pic, and the blooper from Polin's wedding/ Netflix re-posts for Polin week. 🥰

So can we talk about how Jake is now suddenly, days after the post, tagged in Nicola’s pic of the “Ginis” shirt 😬

[insert Jim Halpert’s “WHAT IS GOING ON?” meme here!)

Y'all remember Nicola tagging Luke on some WT posts? Always somewhere on his body?

We think that's her man, right?

So why is Nicola now tagging Jake on (what I've said from the start) Dylan in the shirt pic?

OMG! Thank you for posting about that Abbott Elementary episode. This is one of my all-time favorite episodes and is hilarious. That exact dialogue has gone through my head so many times over the last few months. We all know what we saw. Everyone knows…

There are two major narratives being sold that I just can’t ever reconcile. We’re supposed to believe an adult 38-year-old woman in the prime of her career is in a relationship with a probably gay 24-year-old? And the sweet, kind, always polite and thoughtful Luke that we all witnessed on the WT is a terrible boyfriend to his supposed girlfriend? I think I have rolled my eyes and mumbled to myself “it’s just an insult to our intelligence” about a millions times, especially as this drags out by the day. Thanks again for this funny reminder!

I saw it shared on Twitter and had to pass it on. It is a gem of a Lukola meme!! I’m glad it made you smile ☺️

Have a silly meme drawing (low on spoons today...but this was doable wt least :3)

........I didn't want to try to draw the first panel of them so.....anime reference drawing. But it sounded silly as an alt take on the "regular couple, yaoi couple, yuri couple, I see no difference love is love"

(...I was going to do an alt with other sillies instead of just them (like disco and flirt) but......low spoons..............</3)

"...but just imagine if L would have declared he had someone special in his life (even if just a leak in a gossip rag) like Corey did and didn’t do polin sex color papgate. Worked with his team to show a kind/good side of A (if it exists)..."

Key word, if it exists. Which at this point, I don't think does, nor do L or A seem interested in even pretending that she has a kind side. They both seem to care more about being seen as "sexy" and "attractive." Which shows how vain and immature they really are deep inside.

Had A come out liking all these funny memes (especially when Tiff was sticking only to funny edits at the time) and shown having some humor about things, I think people would've been more open and accepting of her. Sure, she'd always get some sort of hate. But it wouldn't be to this degree.

The damage is done though, no one is interested in seeing anything about her. She could open up a damn orphanage now in Brazil and help save the Amazon rainforest and people would still be "yeah, but it's fake and she's a bitch" at this point.

How hard would it have been to show yourself as a decent human being? Instead she wants to post dance videos of songs saying "you want to be me you wanna take photos with me." Girl who in the hell is wanting to take photos with you? No one! They sure as shit are asking you to take a photo for them with Luke though. No one wants to be A. Nor do they want a boyfriend like Luke to lock them away as a secret and embarrasses them over and over that it looks like a controlling relationship.

They want to fuck Luke. That's all. No one actually wants to be treated in such a shitty manner. I don't care if he comes out tomorrow with a billboard announcing his love for her. The damage is done. You're a terrible boyfriend.

And to all those who think Luke is "falling on his sword" for Nicola while they secretly are in a relationship and have a baby together? No. That's disgusting to pretend you're dating someone else all to hide a baby. Numerous celebrities have hidden their children and relationships from the public eye without having to parade around two much younger "partners," attending events, being papped with them, acting romantic with one another, just to keep their secret.

FFS I know it sucks to think he's an ass and I'm sorry. But if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and tells you its a duck...maybe you should believe it's a duck.

Yea Luke and A don’t want to be viewed as kind or nice. Luke has shown us who he is multiple times. He tries to take away Nic’s attention. Pap walk was brutally mean of him. Luke is not a sweet pookie he is toxic.

The damage has been done.

No one is jealous of A. Not even A wants to be A. Who would want a bf that treats them like literally 💩 . The constant humiliation for just a bowl of pasta like that’s sad 😢

A lost a huge opportunity. Well play dumb games win stupid prizes. Her ship has sailed in this fandom.

Let’s say LL are right and Luke and Nic had a baby, but why would they hide it by fake dating other people? How would they clean up that mess? So while Nicola was giving birth Luke was with A. Like wtf he will be seen as a deadbeat father and partner. And Luke was cheating on Antonia and got Nicola pregnant during the WT. LL say they found out before Dublin so they are saying Luke knowing he’s the father and just went back to Antonia all last summer. That would make him an awful person and how would he clean his image if they ever shared they are parents?It’s too much of a mental gymnastics to be real.

Luke has shown all of us his true colors, people just need to believe him
