#SPAIN AND MORE FUCKING SPAIN

[1982brucespringsteen]

some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!

#spain #trans #ill always prioritize queer&trans revolution over reformism but man. man these are good news #these are gonna make people's life so much more comfortable #i was lucky enough to live in andalucia where we have THEE most advanced regional legislation on trans rights #so i didnt have to fight too many people to access hrt and to change my name on legal docs #but other ppl on the spanish state have been suffering so fucking much #and yeah this law doesnt cover non binary people or migrants but the door is fucking open. its a step forward #and after this terrible terrible week #after the antitrans antisemite game & brianna's murder and so many rampant transphobia #it feels nice to get a win #to have someone in power be so unwaveringly supportive #the queer community in the spanish state is NEVER gonna forget this. never #anyways!!! #felicidades gente trans española!!!! nos vemos en el registro civil dkkskdkkdkxkdk #mine

Fernando 2012 Chair Lore (source: me)

So I've been thinking a lot about Fernando sitting in this particular chair in the Ferrari garage in 2012 for [redacted] reasons:

Originally I just wanted to find more pictures of it for reference, and then went down a rabbit hole of 2012 pictures, trying to figure out when exactly the chair came to be. There's so many pictures of him in it, and it's so funny to me to imagine them hauling this super villain chair all around the world for him. And so now I'm obsessed with the evolution of it:

Pre-Chair - Australia to Bahrain:

He just had this little stool, well I should say big because it somehow still manages makes him look small. Clearly not comfortable; to paraphrase @sweatyflytrap, it's not conducive to his inner Shakespeare villain monologues

The Chair Appears - Spain

He suddenly now has this, aforementioned, super villain chair. Several things, why is it like this. It looks like a sim chair almost ngl. And then the weird plexiglass support is confusing me, like where did they get that. It furthers my narrative they just had this chair that they couldn't put in a car so they put that clear bottom on it. Anyways yes good, now he has somewhere to brood

The Chair Evolves - Silverstone

Look!! They gave him a booster seat!!!

The Chair is Now Here to Stay :)

I downloaded a truly horrible amount of pics him in this chair, so now you all must also look at them >:)

*he still had the chair in 2013, but I think they took it away from him in 2014 :( Is nothing sacred in this world??? I hope he got to take it home hahaha

#i now have a psychosexual relationship with this chair #and im also just obsessed with the range of it??? #theres an equal amnt of pics where he looks like a hot evil villain and then also ones where hes all curled up on it cutely #the co-stars to this post are really all his different sunglasses and the sexy button up fireproofs #this was actually like a true derangment post #irdk what came over me and caused me to make this but it is very important lore actually and i care a lot about it #im just curious about the origins still #like theyre suddenly like in spain 'here is a present for your home race' #the upgrade in silverstone is still killing me. ik its to make it more comfy but like...its literally a booster seat im sorry #but yeah fernando is so real in these. i too would sit in this chair all the time #okay now stay with me bcs this is just vettonso pilled BUT #the difference btwn him and seb in their garages is so funny to me #seb was always sitting on the cabinets like curled up on them lounging on them kicking his legs over them like a kid on a counter etc etc #and then fernando just has a fucking bond villain chair #and you wonder why i ship them so heavily. scoff scoff #this is just a ref post to draw him and seb together on the cha- huh what wait who said that? what was that huh that was weird #fernando alonso #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #*would be so fucking funny to tag this as lore #fa14 #we do a little bit of f1 #catie.rambling.txt #normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion

You know how cold you've been lately.

#fubuki shirou #inazuma eleven #inazuma eleven orion #fanart #au #maybe?? #the gist of it is that fubuki gets replaced by a carbon copy of himself atsuya notices how odd hes been acting lately no one bats an eye!!! #kind of inspired by mandela catalogue ouh #i drew this while having bitter choco decoration and a few will wood songs in mind. the outcome? fubuki shirou #might draw more. maybe! #anyways so clone fubuki slowly starts to reveal its true colours to atsuya and oh fuck og fubuki is back! kh noe Hes late. #this would probably take place after the match with spain then during the match with america. again i dont know what im doing with this au #i just had a yurika! moment then drew this down

"mary & george" could've easily been two if not three season of high political drama, but all we got was a weird conjumbled mess of events with fantastical plot points to tie it together and crammed in one season. im quite disappointed. everyone should just read the book, the actual events that transpired were so much more entertaining than what the tv show showed on screen

#mary & george #there are so many incredible anecdotes missing that were so incredibly entertaining that were just never shown #and the politican landscape of europe ist like non existent #they dont even TOUCH upon henrietta and barely mention france until the last scene #germany? never heard of it #charles and george were bffs and their shenanigans in spain are non existent #they leave for madrid in the LAST EPISODE #and dont let me start with what they changed with the ending #sorry i guess i shouldnt have expected more than just some soft p/rn and that random woman mary kept bringing with her #who they kept selling in the show as a mastermind when really she had fuck all to do but marry of her kids #GOD and to think the set design and costumes and acting was so great #ruined by whoever decided to adapt this story like this #t

incorrect quotes? from me? what, did you expect more? anyways here's these two as something my boyfriend and i said

France: do you get boba or do you like the jellies?

Spain: sometimes when i feel fun i do both! usually just boba though, why?

France: omg we're the boba x jelly couple!

Spain: oh aw :)

#i might do more of these later #hetalia #hws spain #hws france #whatever the fuck their ship name is #spafra #fraspa #fucking??? somethings????? #btw my bf chose the couple #hetalia incorrect quotes #it's frain my bad #frain

the thing that's kind of infuriating rn is that my university's spanish class is pretty much useless - i know, I did it, I know that the teacher treats it as a semi retirement gig and barely assigns homework (a bad thing), doesn't do any conversation or reading, just translating sentences on the board - so i decided to devote the same amount of cash as a credit would take to italki and study more on my own, and now i'm way more advanced than any of the other students (i know because i went to her "most advanced" conversation circle and it was really awkward given they don't know what she didn't teach them etc) so I'm not hugeley motivated to take another class. but I don't get credits for that. i have to take her class for credits. even though she doesn't teach

#real mixed fucking bag lol #read for more university complaints #this teacher pissed my off MASSIVELY by telling her students to do that middlebury course that costs over twelve thousand us dollars #not like. ever telling them to watch telenovelas book a couple italki lessons and go somewhere in LatAm or even Spain for that kinda cash

gods the human body is a fucking nightmare. let me out

#beanstalks #been trying to figure out what my assortment of symptoms mean for the last few days #like the world's worst mystery grab bag #sore throat + throbbing headaches + muscle pain + coughing? well hm #that could mean 10 different things actually #i've been in Fear bc if it's covid again then i'm putting my parents in danger #but apparently it could just be that i don't eat enough fruits #and also it was dry as fuck in spain #i've had more nosebleeds the last week than i've had in 3 years #apparently that means i get to Suffer now that i am back home #seriously who designed the human body. why is it like this

[hauntedhokage]

but also its so crazy that Sae was a literal child off on his own in another country and he didn't even speak the language before going.

you can fit so much trauma in that baby just from that experience alone

#lil bro got so fucked up in Spain i know if we get more details on that i will cry #hh.bllk posting #sae thoughts #sae itoshi

every year i have to be reminded that spain/the iberian peninsula/all of southern europe i guess. is still viewed as a tourist getaway paradise. and that most tourists laugh at the "tourists go home" graffittis on many cities. like they truly dont care they see the place as a fun getaway and thats it. and my beloved tumblr mutuals and i have discussed it at lenght (bc lets be real most of you guys are southern european or mediterranean too lol) but everyone else just turns a deaf ear

#like i was looking thru the knitting subreddit and i searched 'spain' just to see if there were idk. yarn or needles or some types of recs #for materials or something. and it was mostly about non-spaniards TRAVELLING to spain. like i shit yall not most were talking abt #being able to take needles to the airport or flying. or idk. those types of posts. soo fucking grating. i wanna find stuff more catered to #me*/my location. and all i find is posts abt it being a 'tourist getaway'. fuck everything bro #z xarre

nothing funnier than seeing both americans AND 'central' europeans making fools of themselves by being equally obnoxiously self centered

#someone who lives in a central european country & clearly hasn't traveled much: 'what do you mean travel takes more than 3 hours???' #americans: *rubbing their hands* you fool. you utter buffoon. you little european peasant. do you not know that traveling casually #requires at least 24hours. you little trash mouse. you weak summer child' #like akdjahdhshdhddud #WHY WOULD THE EUROPEAN PERSON ASSUME THAT #WHY WOULD THE AMERICANS ASSUME THA #HOW IS ANY OF THAT A REASONABLE ASSUMPTION #also. you may ask. why the quotes around 'central'? well. because most of europe is central europe to those of us who have to cross the #entire country of fucking SPAIN to go anywhere #its just me & the island nations against the world #eve.txt

I should really talk about the Spain and Ireland/Belgium and Ireland friendship more often

#historically speaking spain is her buddy #she's dragging him off beaches after shipwrecks to keep him from getting arrested and he's taking her refugees in #together they're chaotic ride or dies #she and belgium are also besties but they definitely fucked at least once somewhere in the 1800s #just to see #they decided to leave it there but i feel like they have a very strong bond with each other #i would be tempted to use a parallel with st dymphna (irish princess who fled to belgium from a shit relative) #especially considering belgium took in a lot of post-flight of the earls refugees as well #i just feel like they were both people who came into her life at the right time #it wasn't entirely without motive (everyone involved had an interest in spiting arthur) but i think an honest friendship grew from it #antonio is her himbo buddy who shows her his new toys (guns and ships and alcohol) #and emma is one of the first true girl friends she's had who's not consecrated to god and more importantly not mortal

People would rather believe seb is working miracle with the car rather then the team has worked really hard to improve it. It's not the 2nd worst car on the grid anymore, be proud of the engineers and their work

#just something thats been bugging me #and like its not exclusive to seb fans #ive seen it from everywhere #people calling them unserious and that seb deserves better and oh look at his performance if only he had the right car #im sorry? are we not watching the same team that 4 races ago introduced a whole new car has been improving it ever since #like yeah spain wasnt the best but it was brand new they had to hather data #gather #monaco seb got points and lance sure he fucked up quali but he had a great recovery overtakes in monaco hello? #then baku the car looked good (when the engine was working 😒) #and now canada that thing is a rocket #the team has done amazing to get to where we are now from the start of the season and i think they deserve much more credit for it #aston martin f1 #I'm not saying its the fastest car on the grid but its not a backmarker anymore solid midfield #im excited to see where the te goes next #theyre on a good run up

i think i'm going to read lord of the rings on my vacation this summer! i don't want to bring more than 1 book because i want lots of space in my luggage for books to bring back (i love french comics) and i have yet to crack open that 1200 page book lol

#i'm going to spain for a week and france for a week! #it was supposed to be to see my wifes family but they can't go anymore #so now it's more of a honey moon thing lol #i am so fucking excited to be in southern france again!!! i did study abroad there but it was the dead of winter and i was super depressed
