Fernando Alonso × Unconventional Drinking Implements

#if i had a nickel for every time nano drank out of a trophy id have two nickels. that's not a lot but its weird it happened twice #dont ask me if theres more i didnt have the mental capacity to look up all his podium pics...theres 20 years worth #but if you do have more somehow miraculousy do of course hit me up #this is one of these things i think that youd have to experience by watching a lot of races bcs finding it by keywords is impossible imo #though i did look up various trophies and now i want to make a tier list of trophies by drinkablity 😭 #but yeah some people in the tags of the pics i posted were like 'he did exactly what i wanted to do![drink from the big cup basically]' #so this is like: hey! not the first time hes done it 🤭 #but like if these are the only two times hes done it thats hilarious #bcs its been 18 yrs so was he suddenly like 'oh my god wait i just remembered what i can do with this' #but like the 2005 is the wcc win so it makes sense why he did smth so over the top #but this one i really really feel like he let the impulsive thoughts win and was just 'this looks like a giant cup....' #not pictured: flavio also drinking from the trophy. he was so indulgent of his boy 🥹 #also i wonder if theres footage of him pouring in the champagne in 2023 cause i didnt even know he drank from it until i was looking at pic #cause thats my fav thing about the 2005 one is watching him trying to aim and pour it from way too high hahaha #oh also there is the brazil 2005 gp as well but he doesnt directly drink from it so i dont think it fits well here #but at the same time he really is looking at trophies like 'hmmm how well would this work as a cup' #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #2023 dutch gp #2005 chinese gp #fa14 #we do a little bit of f1 #formula one

with the year coming to a close, i hope that anyone who's reflecting about how the year went remembers to be kind and fair to themselves with how you evaluate the year as a whole.

i think there are definitely times when life throws things that are... Not So Great at you. whether if it's some external circumstance that surprised you, or maybe your mentality wasn't at it's best. i wish for anyone who's encountered those kinds of challenges to be able to triumph over them and be able to say that they got through it.

heck, it might still be a work in progress even though you've kept chipping away at it, and that's ok! the results will show themselves eventually as you work through it! and i hope that we can all remember to be patient with ourselves as we go through these processes (learning, healing, etc.), because damn, it can be frustrating when you feel like you're "not there yet."

knowing that life can be rough at times, i think it's unfair to yourself (and others) to discount and downplay any progress you've made this year- whether if it's something that you did for the first time, or maybe you came to a new understanding and insight that you didn't have in the previous year.

it's not to say that you should undermine the validity of your experience with hardship, but to take the time to remind yourself what makes life worth living. to recall what moments were the most satisfying to you- and use it to strengthen your resolve for the next year and beyond. no amount of hardship will ever take away from the fact that you deserve to have hope that things will get better.

i hope that looking back on the year, you don't leave out the things you cherish. that you can remember the good that came this year. whether if the small victories are things like meeting someone new, trying something out for the first time, or making some strides in a long-term project/obligation...!

i wish everyone a happy new year! may it be prosperous, and that your life can move in a direction that's close to what you want out of life. you're all going to do great! remember to congratulate yourself for what you did well! despite everything, you're still here, and that's wonderful. never forget that!

#lizzy speaks #hello everyone. i know that there are *checks calendar* still 20 days left of december and 2023 #but i've had a lot of strong emotions and feelings i've had to sort through as i've been thinking about how 2023 went for me #so a lot of what i've written here comes from the perspective of someone in their early 20s #it's like... a crash and burn from when you were a teenager thinking that you know everything #and realizing how big the world is and how many responsibilities there are #all while a feeling of overwhelm looms over as you try to sift your way through the world and adjust your understanding of it #for me i've definitely had an underlying thought that 'you should have your shit together by now why aren't you there yet' #and it's! not motivating! at all! to think that way. and it's made me more than ever want to be a friend to myself. to extend a patient- #kind voice to myself that reminds me that others are also trying to navigate these feelings and to accept that i'm not going to have an- #instantaneous understanding of how one goes about adulthood. and neither will they. even if they look 'put together.' #like... these people have also undergone similar stresses and along the way figured out how to navigate through that space #and personally i've found peace in knowing that there are people who are older than me. trusting that they've dealt with these things too i #some shape or form and that them living... being here.. is proof that we shall be fine in the end and that we will move past what plagues- #our mind. there's definitely been some... anger i've had this year that. school didnt teach me these things or skills!! i was so mad lol #but hey if we are little guys who are living on planet earth for the first time we shouldn't condemn ourselves to an unrealistic standard- #of going through life and being able to instantly do everything 'correctly' and know how everything works #i'm still working on improving that patience... and also trying to put in the work to understand these things. #in the midst of a very tough week for me i was tempted to say that 'nothing happened this year it was not productive' #but then i was like. that's. objectively not true if you just look at other things. also theres worth in life outside of 'productivity' #...i think i passed 20 tags at this point. but like. my favorite thing about 2023 was meeting so many cool awesome people! #who would've known that funny lil squid game could bring so many connections and friendships i cherish! #thank you so much! for being a part of my life and changing me for the better! for giving me many fond memories! #and i'm very grateful to anyone who supported me and my art this year... for sticking around even though i wished i could do more #it means the world to me knowing that there's proof that i exist and have touched someone's life in a positive way! thank you! truly! #ANYWAY. happy early new year. i hope everyone can nourish a friend in their head that extends acceptance and patience to themselves #as we try and make sense of the world together. there will be things that we don't understand yet! but one day we will! and it'll be like #wow! look how far i came! i'm okay! i'm alive! yipee! thank you for reading this post i made to get my feelings out! have a nice day!

[warpolomewdarkmatter]

gomens trending again got me thinking about the parallels between aziraphale & crowley and of course the alltime faves warp & buzz... [SPOILER FREE POST]

idk its just! something ive been pondering is the structure of star command and its grabbag mix of peacekeeping / police / military / law enforcement functions and its ineffective & flawed structure and principles. even in blosc canon i think buzz is unquestioningly devoted to it because he is not, and has never been, directly opressed by, if i may call it that, the police state + he does believe that he as a space ranger works for the great good and general forces of justice... and yet! and yet he regularly goes against sc's rules and regulations on a whim! from disrespecting lives and privacy of perceived criminals (mocking, mind probing, other stuff i cant remember explicit examples for) to, on the other hand, not bringing them to justice or generally showing sympathy (looking at the ending of ancient evil of course, but also gravitina & millenial bugs bc ozma was breaking the law for sure there, no?). and he is also AWARE of how the system is not fair and "stacked against us" as shown in lone wolf! which makes me think he has some unexamined internal conflict about his job/calling--like aziraphale!!!

and on the other hand... sighs lovingly. and in the other corner we have warp who is obviously against star command (to what extent and based on what beliefs we unfortunately aren't shown) yet i think has never challenged its systems and operations openly, only subversively worked against em. maybe that's because in canon the whole time he had been a space ranger he was also secretly working against sc & for that reason he never cared enough to ever attempt to change sc or convince buzz they/he needed to change it ("convince buzz to do it" because buzz's a posterboy & the best & wrote actual RULEBOOK for star command--so he probably could've done a lot of improvements). and also for warp this whole star command thing was always just a job/cover so he wouldn't do all this hard unpaid work of Bringing On Systematic Changes that wouldn't benefit him immediately. BUT! imagine!!! if warp HAD to stick with the job--if he was forced to live and work under a fucked up rigorous unfair system encouraging blind obedience--as the angels and crowley had to!!--he wouldve rebelled SO FAST. punk demon warp + autism angel buzz for forever and a day!!!

so in conclusion in gomens/blosc crossover warp quits heaven day 1 and then after a lot of talking and questioning the established order of things and gomens-typical shenanigans buzz&warp must go from "a demon and an angel" to "two blokes fucking around" & go awol together married style. love wins?!

edit [STILL SPOILER-FREE]: i wrote this post before watching gomens season 2 and rereading/recontextualizing it now i keep thinking Wow. Did I Hit That Nail On The Head, especially with the buzz and aziraphale parallels. as i put it on twitter: "stubborn holier than thou autistic guy who genuinely believes the oppressive system hes working for is good and just" and "sexiest motherfucker on earth (who secretly cares)". the ending of s2 was almost a reversal of the buzz&warp main conflict which is DELICIOUS actually... with much more explicit gayness mixed in. fun! fun fun fun.

#shoutout to rangespacer with his BEAUTIFUL takes on buzz in general and the topic of starcommand specifically btw i should reblog those asap #this post turned very long and rambly lol i just remember how much i like this 30year old book and also warps character arc<3 #origpost #i think if canon warp ever came up to buzz and said Hey man ever think about how police and prisons are fucked up and what we do is harmful #buzz would either 1) [pre-tab] dismiss his concerns because buzzs bullheaded like that & believes in star command way too much #2) [post-tab] assume warp was being hypocritical/only saying that to improve the life of Evil Criminals--like HIMSELF apparently!!! #& apparently buzz cant trust ANYTHING!!! because his best friendship is apparently a lie!!! WORK MORE & NEVER QUESTION THINGS!!! #buzz + warp. greatest doomed relationship that never could happen because the 20 years of partnership have been spoiled from the beginning. #good job warp good job buzz. wish you two had had 4 thousand years to work your differences out <3...

MIKU'S NOT A VOCALOID ANYMORE!???

Officially, she isn't. Especially because a few years ago when she and the other CVs were pulled, there was this whole 'you can't refer to these vbs as Vocaloids anymore' thing and it was an official statement too? I think? Damned if I can remember, I never bought Miku NT.

But also while the old Vocaloid programs have been discontinued, there's still old users who are selling their old copies, Miku and the others included. So as a Vocaloid, she's still out there.

Also also, we still call her a Vocaloid as shorthand and so we don't confuse casual fans. But the community knows that she and others haven't been Vocaloids since like, 2019, and that Gumi's usurped her as the face of Vocaloid.

#vocaloid #vsynth #hatsune miku #WHEN V6 RELEASED OHHHHHH LET ME TELL YOU #it was a DOOZY it was WILD there was screaming there was pissing there was shitting /j #we thought gumi would jump ship along with everyone else bc Vocaloid had been silent for years lmao #and then it turned out she got promoted #so now she's sold along with the V6 editor as a bundle #anyway if we all band together we can convince internet co and crypton to jump ship #hey crypton. ooooooh you wanna port miku to synth v. you wanna port miku to synth v soooooo bad #also if anyone wants to get old vocaloids someone in a trading/selling server im in is having a massive sale of their old vocaloid acts #and they're for like $20-25

idk how to reconcile my new self with my old self. also i fucking hate waiting. GRAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#delete later #im getting a taste of my own medicine bc when im overwhelmed depressed etc i don’t even open emails or dms or whatever and then ifeel guilty #and let them build up and run away from them and literally do not reply for years. but ive been waiting for like 5 different but related #replies for 3ish days at this point and im soooooo impatient omg i want to bash my head into the wall.. and afaik no one i messaged has #opened the message despite being active online elsewhere which is EXACTLY what i do so i have no right to complain at all. but still. omggg #i just have a simple question (me and the ps5 voice) reply to my message boy #purrs #also.. ok yeah im gonna be honest about it even if there are consequences lol. idk why im on such a mission to get back all my old #characters but if i don’t i can and will go crazy. i don’t even do that kind of thing anymore and d*viantart is an irreversibly warped #landscape due in part to capitalism and in part to own mistakes and selfish actions. and i truly feel like my tumblr mutuals are the only #ones who understand me and feel safe and cozy on here. but i miss my old internet home. and i really miss my old internet friends and seeing #all the jokes we had and how we were all like interconnected w the same adopt groups and stuff and now we don’t even talk… it makes me so #sad and i feel weird messaging them just for the purpose of asking if they can give me back characters i gave them 4 years ago like a) you j #just don’t do that kind of thing i don’t think but b) it feels so transactional and would make the part of saying hey our friendship was #important to me when i was a teenager and even though we don’t talk anymore i think of you fondly and wish you well. like lollllll. and i #feel cringe even tracking them down / messaging them bc we are all jn our 20s now… embarrassing. but i am so mad at myself for letting those #friendships wither (not that i have the spoons to sustain them these days anyway but still) and for not keeping bettr track of my characters #when i sold them and for giving them up in the first place and for letting my old internet life just fall apart due to neglect bc it puts me #in a bind to try to piece it together again no matter how i try it and i shouldn’t try anyway. but i am so tempted to rn. lol #* itd make saying stuff abt appreciating friendship weird bc there’s a transaction tied in (source: i did this and feel weird and bad) #like the way i want to SCREAM seeing that dA ate all of the journals i made when i was a 14 year old and turned them into glitched polls. th #the way the wayback machine has terrible unreliable records of everything and i can never get some stuff back / track some stuff down. pain #anyways it’s stupid bc i feel cozy and listened to and as connected as i have the energy to be to all of u guys so why am i doing this. but #i miss the dA stuff too and i wish it wasn’t cringe and i wish i could have everything that’s ever been part of me all in one place. lol #also this doesn’t even take into account my poetry community on dA on my other account who i also felt so safe and cozy with and i abandoned #that too and lost touch with basically everyone even though we all knew each others deepest secrets for years.. the heartsickness of it all #anyways mutuals who knew me on deviantart i am clutching both your hands with impassioned urgency and kissing u on the cheeks. that’s all

[dcomposing]

Ok game time: Naegami Headcanons after the tragedy let’s go.

anon i am kissing you so sweetly for this one. under the cut bc i have MANY.

SO i don't see them getting together while at hope's peak pre-tragedy. maybe if the tragedy hadn't happened, something would have happened in their final year -- but togami has such a stick up his ass that i think that they would have juuust become real friends when the tragedy happened.

post-killing game, i think togami has. feelings for naegi that he doesn't recognize as such. he just thinks he's neat! i also always like to think of him as devoted to naegi to the point of comedy. hagakure is behind on his work? no mercy. naegi is behind on his work? "well i suppose i could stay late tonight and help you get through the backlog. do you want coffee?" he's whipped he just doesn't know it yet.

naegi, for his part, is really proud of how far togami has come since the beginning of the killing game/since their first days at hope's peak -- but i don't think he has romantic feelings for him until after he gets back from towa city.

SPEAKING of towa city and togami being freakishly devoted to naegi. the moment they find out that komaru is alive and being held captive, togami volunteers to lead the rescue operation. he justifies it as a way to settle the debt he owes to naegi for saving him in chapter 6, but really? he would have done it even if naegi wasn't the ultimate hope.

naegi doesn't take it well when togami is captured. obviously. not only does he have no idea where his sister is or if she made it out alive, now he's simultaneously dealing with the possibility that he may have just lost another friend to the tragedy (and, of course, he blames himself because it was his sister that togami ran out to save.) he... doesn't sleep much during UDG.

on the other hand, the relief he feels when togami is rescued and his sister is confirmed to be safe? he practically launches himself at togami when he gets back to headquarters, triggering a moment of Realization for both of them.

that said, i think both of them are really good at managing their priorities -- it's still the end of the world, after all -- so while they might feel Extremely awkward around each other during meals or around the office, when push comes to shove, they actually work together better than ever.

when naegi first approaches him and kirigiri with the idea for the neo world program, it wasn't even a question for togami. he believes in naegi (they all do) so when he says "hey lets commit treason" of COURSE he's in.

i think they get together while they're on jabberwock island. not while the killing game is happening, of course, but as they're setting up. they're all still so hopeful that this will work and they're (practically) alone on a beautiful island. awkward first kiss while they’re pulling an all-nighter before the system launches in the morning. a moment of hope before it all goes to absolute hell.

again, they’re very good about priorities. the minute killing game (2!) starts, they kind of silently agree to put things on hold until they can figure out wtf to do. it’s very tense and they share several charged moments where they’re *this* close to cracking under pressure.

shortly after sdr2 chapter 6, togami realizes that he’s full blown in love with naegi and has been for awhile. kirigiri is ready to kill him because she’s known the whole time (of course)

they don’t even really have time to recover/actually figure out their relationship because -- of course -- naegi is put on trial for treason and dr3 starts. turns out having a relationship in the middle of the apocalypse is difficult. togami has never been more afraid in his life, but he’s determined to get naegi out of there if he has to strangle munakata with his bare hands. naegi realizes he’s fully in love with togami the first time he sees his face once he’s out of the future foundation black site.

the reconstruction of hope’s peak is where they finally get to have an actual relationship, holy shit. meanwhile komaru and syo have been dating for like a year and a half, totally unbothered.

i’m a huge fan of the thh survivors sharing a living space because, as i’ve mentioned before, they aren’t great at functioning without the others nearby. shortly after the reconstruction of hope’s peak begins, naegi quietly moves into togami’s room. kirigiri notices right away, but it takes the others about a week to realize LMFAO.

once the reconstruction is finished and naegi and kirigiri are prepping to take on the incoming class, togami gives naegi the extremely normal anniversary gift of an entire fucking house. it’s... understated, given that togami was the one behind it.

the original plans he showed the other survivors (+ komaru lol) were much more extravagant, until asahina and komaru not-so-kindly pointed out that naegi is normal and probably doesn’t want a fuck off huge house.

(timeline here is about a year post dr3, three years since UDG, 4.5 years since the events of thh, and a whopping 6.5 years since they met at the original hope’s peak for the very first time)

8 years after they escape hope’s peak, togami decides he’s going to propose to naegi -- they’ve talked about it before, of course, but now that the world has finally started to really, truly recover from the tragedy, it feels more appropriate. he enlists asahina and komarus’ help in picking out the ring and obsessively plans out the perfect day/time/place.

when the day finally comes where he’s finally going to do it, naegi beats him to the punch with a simple-yet-sweet proposal over breakfast that morning. togami rapidly cycles between stunned to elated to furious that naegi beat him. he gets flustered and accidentally rejects the proposal before backtracking and having to admit that he wanted to be the one to propose, damn it!! they figure it out, eventually

their actual wedding is just a simple and sweet courthouse ceremony with kirigiri and komaru there as witnesses. once the news of their engagement got out, they were pretty immediately overwhelmed by attendance requests and, while togami is one for excessive ceremony and naegi loves his friends so much, they’re actually pretty private about their personal lives and ultimately decide to do one wedding that’s just for them before throwing the obligatory big party with everyone being invited (and, of course, media coverage bc, y’know. ultimate hope and the last surviving togami heir.)

i have SO many more thoughts about them/their domestic life but oh my fucking god this got way too long. sorry for liking a really really long slow burn LMFAO

#asks #really cool and very interesting #danganronpa #naegami #makoto naegi #byakuya togami #sorry for taking so long to answer this. it was literally on my mind all day but i wanted to give it the Attention It Deserved. #also sorry for giving them the traditional shakesperean comedy wedding ending. i love weddings and have no impulse control #also i think they're probably both pretty traditional insofar as relationship trajectory is concerned. #once togami realizes he wants a normal relationship instead of following the insane Togami Family Plan (tm) #fukawa and komaru are really the non-traditionalists here. 18 and 20 years old with 5 brand new adopted 10 year olds #straight vibing in the wasteland until one day they wake up after having been together for like ten years like #'hey. why arent we married?' #i DID almost put in syo drunkenly proposing to komaru AT the naegami wedding bc i think it would piss togami off SOOO bad #but this was already too long so. in the tags it goes. #i DO have thoughts on how they might work in a non-despair setting too. but this is generally the timeline i have in mind for them.
