Are You My Dad

Synopsis: The trials and tribulations of being a Grid Dad and sometimes an actual father

Charles and Sebastian: Monaco '24

Sebastian knew that when he watched the interview and that Charles would be partying like the animal he should've immediately stuck an air tag to the little brat.

He kept checking twitter, knowing damn well that everyone would be posting about his wear abouts, Sebastian at one point in his life would've joined, but even after Charles won, the idea of partying made him groan and his bones ache. How Lewis and Jenson were still partying was beyond him. They were crazy anyways, he mellowed out when he got older, no matter what Mark said.

Sighing when Sebastian saw Charles walking around a club with the Monaco, this is when he decided he had to go and gather the little gremlin. Sliding on pants, a plain black shirt, and baseball hat he makes the short walk to Jimmyz, memories of his own partying sweeping him up.

The guard doesn't even stop him, automatically letting him go in and Sebastian flinches at the flashing lights and booming music that makes his blood bubble with the beat. It doesn't take him long, noticing the Ferrari driver, taking shot after shot. Sebastian didn't want to ruin his fun, be he also didn't need the kid ending up with alcohol poisoning.

Moving around, he gently moves his fingers to Charles's neck, who relaxes and turns smiling brightly, and leans into his touch. "You came," He giggles and moves hugging his old teammate. Sebastian chuckles and pulls him close, Charles easily moveable like water, going where you push and pull it.

"Let's get you home," Charles whines, but Sebastian refuses to hear the whining of Charles as he leads him out of the club and out into the warm Monaco air. "Seb?" Charles voice is quiet as they make the short walk back to Sebastian's place. "Yeah?" Charles moves closer, "Are you proud of me? I always thought my father would be proud of me, are you?" Sebastian has to push down tight feeling and burning in his eyes and throat.

"Yeah, Charlie, I'm proud of you," Sebastian whispers. Damn kid.

Mark and Oscar: Qatar '23

"Are you sure you're okay," Mark fusses and Oscar just sits there, in the ice bath staring up at his manager like he's grown a second head. "Yes, Mark, I'm okay," Oscar whispers dipping down as he feels the heat be swapped for the cold icy chill. This race was hard, with others ending up in medical, or transported to the hospital.

"Oscar, that was...one of the worst races in terms of weather ever, are you sure you're, okay?" Mark pulls at his pants and squats down, becoming eye level with Oscar. This was the thing with Mark, he always got protective of Oscar, when it wasn't even needed.

Mark has watched Oscar grown since he was a young boy, seeing the raw talent, the talent befitting of a champion, the talent Mark had, but was never jealous of Oscar, more so protective of it. "Oscar, when you're finished we're going to the hotel to rest," Oscar groans and dunks under before popping back up. "Mark, really, the team wants to party." Mark raises and eyebrow and Oscar suddenly feels like the karting kid after his first scrapped knee and Mark fussing over it.

"Alright, alright." Mark seems satisfied with that answer and ruffles his hair. "I'll pick up some dinner and all that, anything in particular?" Oscar narrows his eyes, upset about the fact he couldn't go to the party. "Osc, don't be acting like a child. Your mother would thrash me," Oscar snorts at the image of his mother trying to kill Mark Webber.

"Burger, with fries?" Mark sighs, but unable to say no, the kid got a podium and handled the heat like a champ. "Fine, I'll even get you a milkshake." Oscar smiles, knowing that Mark would get him anything he wanted.

--------------------------

Jenson and Logan: New York '24

"Think I'll do good this season?" Jenson was caught of guard by the question, not expecting the young American to bare himself to openly to him. There was a little break between events and Jenson had been watching Logan all day.

A young man, who shook everyone's hand, asked them questions and was smiling, but Jenson could tell that the smile he had was a little reserved, unable to fully smile. Jenson sighs and rolls his neck, unsure how to answer such a loaded question. "Do you think you'll do good?" Jenson knew how to handle this, he dealt with Lewis, Sebastian, Mark, and Fernando all legends of the sport, all that got ripped to shreds by their teammates at one point.

"I don't know, I feel like....the team regrets signing me," Jenson schools his features, it was no secret that Williams had no one else and simply chose him to be a seat warmer, Jenson wasn't looking forward to watch what was going to happen. "I think I can do good, but I think one screw up and everyone will just talk about it," Logan muses sitting down and taking a sip of water.

"Logan, ignore people, you made it into Formula 1, and besides, if it doesn't work out, Indy could be your thing, you could do wonderful things there." Logan smiles at that, "Yeah, but this is my dream," His smiles falters a little. Jenson groans, dammit Sebastian, he hates that the little blonde bastard was right.

"Look," Jenson sits down and pats his back, "This sport is cruel, far crueler than it should be, and it pisses me off sometimes, but life is hard, and I hate to watch you kids destroy yourselves for something that could never love you back." Jenson sighs, and pats Logan's back.

"But, sometimes it has to be hard before you learn to make it easy, you'll be fine Logan, you've got people that care for you," Jenson whispers and curses the German.

"Careful, Jenson, or you'll be the next one to get a grid kid," Jenson was going to kill Sebastian.

[puppyeared]

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

#i dont normally write long posts like this but i think ive been trying to put this into words for a long time and it finally happened #my cloth mother spirit tracks zelda and my wire mother lttp zelda #ACTUALLY ANOTHER THING when i was a kid i always felt guilty when i had to catch the legendary at the end of the game #because to me it was like 'i know none of this is real but if i capture you and have you under my thumb am i robbing the world of something #normal thoughts for a 10 year old to have #when i talked to my brother abt this he was like 'i mean yeah the point is to dunk on the NPCs what were you expecting' and i mean i think #i get that its supposed to feel rewarding because the legendary is THE reward. but it doesnt feel right and i dislike he feeling of pushing #others down to get ahead. i guess u can argue sun/moon does smth similar where you have nebby with lillie #but lillie still ends up handing nebby over to the player and i STILL feel bad because im like shit man you raised that little guy #and koraidon/miraidon feels less like a reward but more like overpowered motorcycle lizard that is just so oupydog. and i love him #and in spirit tracks i went out of my way doing some of the side quests bc zelda asked nicely and honestly that was enough for me #i think all of this boils down to.. i feel very protective abt things i care abt so stories that give me a reason to care hits harder #this can also go the other way bc i CRIED when i finished links awakening because i KNEW every person and im responsible for #literally the end of their world. like. there was a family with 5 kids. marin loved singing and cared about me. she was my FRIEND #i just. ugh. i have too many feelings rn. i kinda wanna draw more spirit tracks link and zelda i think that wld make me feel better #yapping #diary #loz #pokemon

a lot of swifties need to learn how to decenter men tbfh.

While I agree, I’m also aware that I’m the lesbian entering one of the straightest and whitest fandoms in the world right now, with all the societally regressive and internalized bigotry that comes with that. That is of course largely due to Taylor centering her experiences with the men in her life in the majority of her own songs. And funnily enough, even that doesn’t mean she herself centers men in her own life, but people are engaging with her songs not her personally as being part of her daily life is not accessible to fans. So it’s really more that I am the interloper here poisoning the water by trying to talk about literally anything else. And I have to ask myself am I shocked that the women congregating around a woman who sings about men want to talk about men most of the time? Not really. Hence why I don’t bother with most of them, as we have little in common other than our love of this woman’s music, and I cultivate a little dyke swifite circle where I feel comfortable that someone won’t tell me that Taylor wants me to kill myself because I dared interpret a Precious Man Song to also be about her mom or whatever crimes against Swiftidom they believe I have committed.

also to reiterate i am a lesbian and MOST spaces on planet earth that i walk into are like this so babe, this is NOT my first rodeo. i can navigate that and swerve conversations about men easily at this point.

#like people in this fandom dedicate themselves fully to policing any gay person who deviates from The Gospel Of Truth #I don’t wanna be around someone who has that much hatred in their body thst they’d use their time to dunk on or belittle someone who sees #something of themselves in her music just because that something happens to be gay #sending vicious anons or even making blogs dedicated to it like how cruel and vile of a person are you to do that #but also #it’s very much like am I shocked that the cheetahs (men focused swifties) ate my face (were homophobic)? skdnfnfmgngm

I don’t really get dunking on a fellow artist that helped open doors for you and has only been kind towards you but that could just be me.

#taylor swift #also like many artists do three hour shows #and it’s because they have the discography to do it #and fans enjoy it and attend them #like both the renaissance and eras tours were groundbreaking and showcased female artists at the top of their game #so why try and dunk on that? #and over charts and tour length while you’ve said you don’t care about charts is weird #and I like Billie’s music too!

Idk what 14 year old with a cookie run profile picture needs to hear this but qrting/reblogging a post with "who put this freak on my tl 🤢 retirement home twitter is weird" counts as engagement and will in fact just tell the algorithm you want to see more adult content

#sorry i saw a genshin kae luc post and half the qrts were this like . lmfao #i was just scrolling thru like ofc they're all cr fans #im not gonna pretend i don't know what its like to want to seem cool on the internet at 13-14 but i will also say all of my socmed accounts #were private until i was 18 #not saying this as some kind of dunk but as a word of warning some day one of your posts might get attention you aren't comfortable w #and it's better to avoid that altogether than get dogpiled and double down on it in a way that you'll cringe about later #4am posting

awwww besties supporting besties

#it's always very endearing to me when actors support each other's projects #airenyah plappert #dunk natachai #dunk twitter #joong archen #joong twitter #wats #joylada gang #adrm #actually that reminds me this saturday i'm actually watching the dress rehearsal of one of my colleague's new play that he's in #the premiere was unfortunately already sold out when he mentioned his new project #and we were a little sad that it was sold out already but then he was like #''ok but we have an open dress rehearsal you can come to that if you wanna'' and i was like ''hell yeah'' #i mean technically i could also go to any of the other dates where the show is on #but since he invited me to the rehearsal before i could bring up the idea of going on a different day #i decided the rehearsal will be more fun for me personally as someone who has a great interest in working in theater after uni #and if the play is fun i can always go watch it another time and support the actual show and the ticket sales #i'm already excited to watch it #it's always fun to see colleagues on stage

Bloodborne is seriously the most beautiful game of all time i think about this every single time i replay it but genuinely. Just exploring yharnam and staring in awe at how gorgeous everything is, its never about graphics, bloodborne has a noticeable stylization i think in a way even stronger than other fromsoft games, and the use of lighting and color palettes is just so good it makes me want to Be there. The game is already so stunning as it is ingame but i think having access to the map viewer on my own to the side made me appreciate it even more i love seeing the way everything is constructed and put together with just the flat textures before applying any engines and even as flat surfaces you can just feel the cohesion in the backgrounds, even textureless stripped of everything that makes it "beautiful" it still feels so unique and already gets the vibe across and that explains how the game feels the way it does visually, which is something i think a lot of current gen "high fidelity" games struggle with. Hard to explain what I mean but I feel it. Also i love the slight like chromatic aberration effect bb has on the edges of the screen it adds such a nice touch to the atmosphere honestly. Sighs dreamily

#like every single location is so unique and has its own style separate from each other #but in a way thats really cohesive and still makes it feel like part of the same thing #and theyre all so beautiful in their own way #ppl dunk on the forbidden woods and nightmare frontier a lot for what i think are #just gameplay reasons but their blind hatred of those areas extends to the way theyre often excluded when #people talk about all the 'prettiest areas' and whatnot. but i think they deserve the love just as much as anywhere else #when youre not panic running through it the woods are really beautiful and well crafted #its all so skillfully put together to give exactly the atmosphere it needed #theres so many parts of it that feel iconic to me or at least could be #and the nightmare frontier i think genuinely has some of the most stunning environment designs #that were introduced by it later reused in the hunters nightmare. so it should #have its own little pedestal as The OG i think. like all the spirals and etchings that feel like #a naturally occurring phenomenon but also does not look like one. you know what im talking about? #and the strangely bright sky and fog in the distance... so so good #i have paragraphs upon paragraphs to say about each area obv but these two feel so underrated #do the fucked up graves in the woods mean nothig to you... does the little cave you spawn in in the frontier mean nothing to you...

we could have had it all

#i know they only redesign them to avoid the 1939 copyright but um. they did a GOOD job look look #game sucked was boring did not play #also. there were these little cat things. what was the deal with that. took up all the screentime whose story is this #i feel like ''retelling of tiktok of oz'' or any book would be a slam dunk because if you only read them as a baby you forget #and be like ''wow this really is beyond the yellow brick road'' (<title of game) #okay fine the designs aren't even that good but it's fun. it's fun to see. it's joyful. they are good nevermind #wizard of oz #look at her shoes

posts that attract the “see reverse racism is real!!” crowd

#ic.text #p sure those two people were joking around omg #and people make those jokes dunking on blue eyed people because of their own fixation with their own eyes colors + weird white people who #fear monger about the ‘decline on the white race’ ( yes even tho light colored eyes are not exclusive to white people) #or on this Website where people who don’t have brown/black eyes go in exaggerated detail on how their eyes change color in the sunlight #or with seasons etc etc #it’s not discrimination and anyone with a brain knows blue eyes ≠ nazi #but I will say that there are indeed white folks who do not mix with others and are obsessed with their children having blue/heeen eyes #passed down to their kids #which hmmmmmm it’s one thing to look at yourself and appreciate wha you see and then there’s this weird fixation with treating children #like dolls for you to look at or carriers of your legacy and having rarer colored eyes ya know #also it’s payback for calling people with brown eyes ‘poop colored eyes’ which can sound like a mircoqgression just like how poc #have ‘dirty’ skin like pls have some self-awareness

[charlesemersonwinchesteriii]

The thing about Charles that most enrages me, vis-à-vis his plotlines and development, is that his crimes and his punishments are mostly entirely disconnected. He gets comeuppances all the time, but only occasionally are they a consequence of him being Bad, as opposed to just being annoying—or, sometimes, just being an easy target. And then sometimes he does or says something utterly heinous and the narrative gives him nothing but a slap on the wrist. Hawkeye and BJ (and sometimes the entire camp!) will torment him for minor, petty things, like destroying his French horn because he was bad at playing it. But the things he said to Margaret in the supply room in Mail Call Three were so vile that the scene is usually cut from syndicated airings. And what does he get for it? She jabs him with an elbow and pushes him out of the room and then nothing bad happens to him for the entire rest of the episode. 

I have a whole half-written essay on the utterly nonsensical way Charles’ bigotry is portrayed on the show—the way it had to be portrayed, really, in order to make the character function—but this is the single worst result of that whole mess, to me. Because this mismatch between actions and consequences affects all the other characters, too. If Hawkeye, and by extension the narrative itself, gets angrier at Charles for snoring than for yelling about keeping his family’s bloodline pure (not to mention being racist against Max—you know, Hawkeye’s supposed fucking friend?), then that says something about both the protagonist and the show. Something extremely unflattering, to put it lightly.

#but then again everyone is racist to Max in late seasons so I guess we're not supposed to care :)))))))))))))))) #Charles Emerson Winchester III #MASH #MASH TV #Disclaimers: Obviously I neither need nor expect a didactic 1-to-1 karmic correspondence from these plots. #But it's so annoying that late seasons are called preachy when they seem to mostly lack any moral backbone at all #at least on every issue except feminism. (Thank you Ms. Alan ''Honorary Woman'' Alda!! <3) #Also not to say there was said karmic correspondence with Frank either exactly; but it wasn't important that there be one #because Frank was constantly awful so he was constantly dunked on. A strawman punching bag to hit as much as you like. #Charles gets punched all the time but it never feels like our hero Super-Hawkeye standing up to a bully. Even though it SHOULD. #Sometimes in spite of Charles' myriad privileges #it feels like Hawkeye et al. are punching DOWN. #Which they are NOT! And YET! #Starky's Original Posts #Starky's text posts #unlike those other posts which were filthy woobification THIS post is hashtag Charles Critical #so it can go in the main tag

"Lo que es estar como tuna"

An animation based on @mscribbles's omentio piggyback comic !!

More about it under the cut:

Damn you're actually here. ok...... /j

This is the first short film I've ever made! It was an uni assignment done in the span of a week and I was the only one working on it.

Would you believe me if I said that the hardest part was translating the dialogues? I had to closely examine the ESP version of Super Paper Mario to know these character's way of speaking, plus adapt the dialogues so that the original intent and meaning was kept...... that shit is hard!!!!!! translators have my utmost respect lol

The second hardest thing was getting timing right because I did not have time to make an animatic. I really was just going with what felt right. I think I did a decent job at that...!

Something I really liked about the process was the pre-production phase because that's when I had to do the vectors for the characters! To be honest with you I felt like a caveman every time I learnt literally anything new about Illustrator........ is this how people feel when I tell them about Moho????

...Oh well!!! There's some things I'd def change of the animation but overall I'm seriously proud of this, and!!! and!!!

...I hope you liked it as much as I did!!!!

astro out!!!!

#dimentio #o'chunks #omentio #dunks spm #mimi spm #super paper mario #spm #anim-astro #art-strito #cries like that one video of the baby with reverb #WJEHRJEKWHJ im glad im proud enough to ignore my damn shyness and just post this. its good methinks #also if anyone has questions about how i did something you can ask:3 #the other day I showed this to my friends and i was very very happy to answer their questions hehe #reminder to self. i have to post this on fb lol #also gODD i gotta go sleep. classes........ terrible....... imagine pursuing the career of your dreams since you were a wee child.... #imagine.... ewwww /j

One of the many hills I’ll die on is my defense of the Girl Scouts if you hear the “girl” in Girl Scouts and immediately assume “well, clearly all they’re teaching them is how to bake cookies and manage a household and become a good wife and mother who stays home and cooks and cleans” then that shits on you yeah some troops aren’t going to be as good as others it all depends on the leadership and resources available but that doesn’t negate the fact that at it’s core it is there to teach young girls valuable skills and it can provide unique opportunities and a nice community for people who may need it

#like. my experience wasn’t even the /best/ #I wasn’t bullied by the other girls by any means but I also wasn’t liked I was just. there and kinda outcast from them #and my troop was on a military base we didn’t have a lot #but we still did fun arts and crafts projects and we went camping ALL the time #I wasn’t allowed to do much of anything so it was a chance to get out of the house #and spend time with people my age outside of school #even the cookie selling is often used to teach about managing money and businesses ect #and lots of people get experience with first aid and STEM projects in it #when my sister was signing up after we moved they were talking about doing #lots of conservation and environmental clean up projects #which is cool!!! #from what I hear the Girl Scouts keep up with the fucken times besties #it’s been a long time since I was a part of it but I still think it’s a great thing #and I hate when people dunk on it and reduce it to just selling cookies #and assume that because it’s for girls it only teaches old fashioned misogynistic standards #also things like knowing how the basics of how to cook and shit like that are still important??? #they don’t teach that in most schools anymore except as an elective #it’s not that young girls /shouldn’t/ learn that it’s that it should be taught to people regardless of gender #you need that shit to survive damn #we support Girl Scouts in this household

what *is* cryptofash?

it's short for cryptofascist, it's a term used for someone who covertly supports fascist sentiments or ideas adjacent to them without explicitly signaling it. someone who's cryptofash might closely associate with people who are more openly alt-right, express sympathy for fascist talking points, and voice certain statements/ideas common in fascist circles that, while not always strictly fascist ideas in isolation, can imply alt-right thinking when in tandem with other common fascist sentiments. in essence it's that guy you've always been suspicious of but you can't say for certain if they're just under-educated, reactionary, or a genuine nazi until you discover screenshots of them asking the jewish question in a discord server

#speedrunning has a fuckton of these and there's two you may recognize #rwhitegoose and karl jobst #both have been outed through screenshot evidence from the same server spouting white supremacist shit #particularly about jewish and chinese people #karl jobst was just never found out until later because the shit rwg had said was so much more horrifying #several youtubers i'm extremely wary of because i suspect them #internethistorian is on the more visible end of crypto because of his associations with openly alt-right youtubers #his earlier videos being all about 4chan and its culture while using its lingo and associated memes #and his covid denialist/antivax tweets to name just a few reasons #manykudos i'm not certain on but it's more his associations and less what he thinks and says #he's dunked on people who are 'a little too into war history for it to just be a hobby' before which is like #not a group you'd typically make fun of if you were fash so it makes me think he's Aware #magicmush gives me huge cryptofash vibes because of the subject matter of his videos being all about #standard fare online punching bags including cwc #and anybody who talks about 'lolcows' is instantly shitlisted for me because it's fucking blatant what their politics are #wendigoon is also crypto for me because unfortunately if you talk about being a pro-gun christian #while also associating with other people who just exude right-leaning proclivities #i'm not gonna trust you #etc etc

got ... kind of irritated by a post that referenced the line from utrh film that goes like "is it easier for you to believe the pit turned me rabid? or is this just the real me?" bc the post said that it was jason saying the pit turned him rabid

no. he was saying the fucking opposite of that

like bruce would LOVE for that to be true and Jason knows it, thats why hes saying it, he's making a point about hard truths and harsh realities, its this whole thing. begging for a crumb of media literacy pease

#also there's like. #a line in hush where bruce is like (paraphrased) the lazarus pit has a terrible cost it makes you insane #which like. i believe HE believes that (at least for repeated dunks like ras) #but that doesnt actually gel with the people we see get dunked #(beyond the like. brief &temporary episodes of disorientation and aggression immediately after) #my point is. lmao i mostly agreed with OPs point (that tbe pit madness fanon sucks ass) #but there were two major inaccuracies that got on my nerves #dc
