On the talk of Toto, drivers who lost their seat and his William golden boys.

Because out of the five Mercedes driver, 3 of them were originally Williams boys; Nico, Valtteri and George. As soon as Valtteri gets promoted to full time driver, Toto moves up to Mercedes.

Nico retires, Toto: I MUST have Valtteri, give Williams a discount on the engine.

What I find hilarious is how many times he’s crossed path with Nico Hulkenberg. Nico lost his Williams reserve driver role to Valtteri, while Toto was on the board.

Then Nico looses his seat at Renault, because Toto hustled Esteban there.

Honorary mention that “everyone” said Esteban would get Valtteri’s seat in 2019, but didn’t

Hulkenberg is a skilled driver, so much experience, used to drive for Williams, has been a reserve driver, lost his seat, been the Covid super sub. Technically he ticks all the boxes for Toto. But every time Toto goes Naaah, no thank you. He has a type, and it is NOT Nico Hulkenberg.

I will admit that his lack of podiums might factor in, but shhhh. It’s funny so facts don’t matter

Honestly, kinda hilarious consequences aside, Nico Hulkenberg has suffered more than most from bad luck, bad timing and being on the wrong end of seat politics. And whilst he might not have had it in a single big style incident like Kevin Magnussen, it’s just the constant stream of it that’s fucked him over.

Further to that, Valtteri has mentioned in the interview where he talked about his eating/exercise disorder that Hulk specifically lost out on a seat at Williams (probably to replace Valtteri) because he was too big. David Coulthard, also notably tall, has talked about his experience of bulimia too. The driver weight regulations of the were no joke and are probably still a factor even now, though less so and downplayed.

Hulk is a big guy - and though I believe that Esteban and possibly Alex are taller than him now, Esteban certainly carries weight very differently to him. Most of the tall drivers since the 1990s have been very skinny to compensate for their height. If we look at the standard build of the grid, the “ideal” body shape for an F1 driver seems to be a kind of muscular jockey build. That’s short, lithe, especially in the hips and waist, with narrower shoulders than most men, and most of all lightweight. They fucking weigh the drivers after the race, and whilst I understand that it’s to calculate fuel allowance, that’s got to be demoralising, potentially nerve-wracking for drivers worried about their weight, and contributes to normalising unacceptable attitudes towards drivers’ bodies by teams.

The drivers that deviate from this build are routinely criticised and made a mockery of for their shapes. Like I know we like to make jokes about “slutty little waists” but think about what we do when we isolate body parts on particular drivers to turn into memes. I’m talking about Daniel’s “child bearing hips” (for which he was berated at McLaren), Valtteri being thick in the waist, Red Bull leaving so little room for Mark Webber’s shoulders that he often needed help getting out of the car. Like if you take twenty of the most talented racers in the world and create vehicles with such little allowance for their bodies that they have to run themselves in starvation mode to succeed, how can we criticise them for driving sub-optimally? And part of that is that they treat drivers who haven’t won a world championship like replaceable parts. If they don’t deliver? No problem, they can change them out?

It would be interesting to see what would happen in a world where there were (barring exceptional circumstances) mandatory driver retention periods. Many drivers never have the benefit of the car being tailored to them and are expected to alter themselves in order to make it drivable, which is really putting the cart before the horse.

it’s so hard to try and discuss my own disordered eating and body image issues because nobody believes that in high school i was a size 12 and considered fat and therefore bad by everyone around me

#cw: disordered eating #cw: body image #look in my area fat was bad and anything above an 8 was fat so #for women at least #it was a conservative area full of very pretty girls #i was not one of them #and i try to explain this to people and no one believes me #i don’t suffer from like systemic fatphobia #but i was mocked and bullied and disregarded because of my size #which was 144 pounds at 5’6

[redley-of-many-noodles]

So apparently Tumblr wants me to die of heart failure

Got an ad a little bit ago advertising This One Simple Trick! to lose 56 pounds over the course of 60 days. Which is already a rather alarming pace at which to lose weight, and may cause loss of muscle mass from important areas as a result. (like cardiac tissue.)

But the real kicker is that I’m barely within ‘average’ ranges for my demographic. 56 pounds is only a bit under half my total weight. I would look like I’d been raised by a necromancer at best, assuming I somehow survived losing such a huge percentage of my mass so quickly.

A screenshot of the ad is below the cut:

Kind of hilarious cus I’ve seen people worshipping that extra bit of tummy on here. This is, quite honestly, possibly the least receptive platform to that ad.

Anyway, just thought I’d share that. Now, let’s wrap up the post with some commentary on advertising online, and Tumblr’s conduct.

Companies seem to (in my experience) have a general attitude of ‘it’s not my fault!’ towards the ads they show their patrons. It’s not their fault when explicit or predatory ads get shown on a kids-friendly website, it’s the advertisers! It’s not their fault when proselytizers and gambling sites try to convert the “queerest place on the internet,” it’s all the advertiser’s fault! The company clearly bears no responsibility for any of that…

Well, they fucking should. Who chooses who to sell those ad placements to, hmm? Who reviews the advertised content to ensure it’s appropriate for the audience it will end up in front of?

Companies, especially ones responsible for social media platforms, have the power to properly regulate all of this. Yet, they don’t.

If you have the power to improve your platform so drastically, and for such a relatively minuscule cost, then I’d argue you have a responsibility to do so.

After all, ads like this can be actively harmful to your user base. They often prey (intentionally or not) upon those who are insecure about their bodies.

Huh. That reminds me of another area in which Tumblr’s steps to protect and welcome its user base have been… unsatisfactory.

Fix your fucking hellsite :)))

[levi-supreme]

Hi, I'm the FTM anon and I wanted to clarify that FTM is female-to-male, which I realize would count as lgbtq material now that I think about it. So I want to tweak my ask: How would Levi be with a neutral or male s/o who makes a resolution to get shape and wants Levi to be their workout partner?

Anon!!! Hii!!! I am SO SORRY I took so long to reply this ask q_q maybe you aren't even active on tumblr anymore or something but ANYWAY!!! Thank you for sending me this ask too, I had so much fun answering it!!

Honestly I love to gym and work out LOL so this was was right up my alley XD and I hope you're ready for some verbal diarrhoea and lots of gym/work out stuff haha.

Warnings: SFW. Mentions of body image, weight, and food/diet. Reader has a sedentary lifestyle. Answering this below the cut since it might not be for everyone!!

Levi knows that working out and exercising isn't something you're familiar with, so he starts your training regime slow. To slowly get you started, Levi first asks you to go out for walks with him. It was hard at first, but it felt good to be walking under the morning sun, taking in fresh air and looking at all the scenery around you. It was initially a torture to wake up early in the morning, but Levi's company made the sleep sacrifice worthwhile. Furthermore, Levi and you end off the walk with a hearty breakfast as well to get the day started.

Levi also asks you to join him during his runs. Levi tells you to start with a slow jog first because he doesn't want to force you to run when he knows you probably can't. He will slow down his pace and jog next to you, encouraging you to keep jogging for as long as you can until you're exhausted. He would keep his runs short, and he will only gradually increase the duration once he sees that you're able to keep up.

When it comes to working out in the gym and building muscle, Levi is also extremely patient with you too. He teaches you everything he knows from the basics; such as the proper squat form, how to hold the barbell correctly, or how to use the lats pulldown machine. Levi makes sure to explain everything to you in detail so that you reduce the chances of injury, and you're working on the correct muscle group too.

Levi bought you a fitness tracker so that you can keep track of your physical activity. It also allows you to keep track of your workouts, and you can also track your progress and improvement as well. Levi also makes sure to spot you while you're using the gym equipment so that you have the correct form, and he also wants to make sure that he can correct any small mistakes he sees.

Through the weeks and months, you can see your vast improvement: you can run longer durations without feeling fatigue too soon, and you can also lift heavier weights as well. You can also see changes in your body: your arms look more defined, and your legs look more toned. Your love handles are gone, and your clothes fit better as well. Best of all was how greater you felt. Your mood feels better, your mind feels clearer, and you also felt livelier. Sweating it out and exercising soon became a part of yours and Levi's lifestyle.

Levi was also pleased to see your improvement, both physically and mentally. He was worried for your health because you didn't move around much, but he was glad you decided to change this unhealthy sedentary lifestyle. Levi also reminds you to not push yourself too hard, and you do not overwork yourself.

Levi also teaches you the importance of having a balanced diet, instead of calorie counting or starving yourself to lose weight. He makes sure you take enough nutrients such as your carbs, protein, and fibre, but he also allows you to have your 'cheat days' too. Levi emphasises to you many times that as long as you keep to a balanced diet, you do not need to fear gaining weight at all.

You were thankful that Levi was such a supportive partner and a great workout buddy, and his motivation and encouragement always pushes you to do your best. Now, you are the one who drags Levi out for morning or evening runs instead of the other way round.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

go off!!

How about a throwback - some These Things Unsaid behind the scenes!

As originally plotted and outlined, I had a whole book-long subplot around Zuko's relationship with overtraining, undereating (while in the Earth Kingdom wilds), and essentially how he's taking his negative view of himself and his abilities out on his body by not valuing it.

Part of his storyline with Sokka was going to be around his relationship with his body. That it could give and give him pleasure, that it had inherent worth in Sokka's eyes, that overtraining was in fact hurting himself not improving himself and through caring for himself and recognizing he deserved care he could reach his potential, not by beating himself down.

But I got like 1/3 of the way into writing the fic and just couldn't make the whole subplot fit. Zuko was already in such an angry mental place, he was already so lost, that layering even more onto him felt like it would be just piling on more than he could believably work through in the time he had.

It also really changed the tone of the sex in a way I didn't like, making it all just a lot heavier and moodier when I really wanted it to be just this fun easy simple thing for Zuko, who so rarely has easy, simple things in his life.

I also didn't love the way it was casting Sokka into this like savior role, rather than him and Zuko equally pushing and helping each other through their issues. I could have played up the loss of Yue to try to give Sokka some equally heavy baggage for Zuko to help him with to balance things out, but then I couldn't chart a path forward for the Zukka relationship so weighed down by grief and self-loathing.

And without their time together being something precious, a reprieve from the world, the foundation wasn't there for why they would continue to risk coming back to each other.

Sooooo I cut it all out lmao. There's still a few hints of it in a few places, but tonally it's something that is much better suited for like the Max Grief AU and the kind of self-destructive mindset Zuko's in there.

For the Fanfic Writer's: Directors Cut ask game!

fell in love and got my period back, my hair began to grow again and is reaching my ideal length, and my waist got tinier. always knew that love is the answer to my problems

#cw: body image #on the downside i haven't had a thought in weeks and i can't eat and i can't sleep ❤️ #genuinely thinking most of humanity has never been in love bc there wouldn't be civilization otherwise #i think about him 95% of the day and then i dream about him every night i need to be instituionalized

Omgggg my stomach feels pretty hard when I flex it under the little tummy.

I think if I keep things up (swimming + high fat/protein) I might end up with abs in a month or three!

[direnightshade]

Since someone is asking about the fluffy aspects of Gladney fam can you please tell us some small headcanons about how the guys show their love for us? Whether that be physical touch or small, unspoken things they each do to make our day easier? Love you and the boys, bby! 😘❤️

FIRST OF ALL. Let me drop this here because WHAT THE FUCK, MA’AM. My heart. 🥺

Okay, here's my list of fluffy headcanons:

Jack

This man is a conversationalist. And one of his favorite things is to have us seated on his lap whilst he sits in his favorite armchair and listens to us tell him all about our day. He loves to hear us talk, loves to have a conversation about anything and everything with us even if it's a topic he knows nothing about.

He doesn't tell us this, but he is constantly checking in when we're not with him: using the Find My app to make sure we're okay when he hasn't heard from us in a while which is rare, checking in with the boys to make sure they're taking care of us when he can't. Jack's always looking out for us even in the moments we're unaware.

Kylo

Kylo shows a lot of his love through reassurance and praise. He's constantly telling us how proud of us he is and that even on the days we're really struggling with something, whatever that something may be, he lets us know that he recognizes the effort and appreciates it immensely.

He's also a fan of small touches. He considers them to be oddly more intimate, almost like an unspoken language where he can convey so much with something so small. It's a hand on our back at a function to let us know he's checking in and making sure we're okay, a hand on our thigh under a table to claim his stake on us without uttering a word, or a lingering kiss on our forehead to let us know he loves us.

Ben

We know Ben is heavy on physical touch and that's no exception when it comes to showing his love for us. This man is constantly straddling the line between fluff and feral, so he's constantly grabbing our ass, pawing at our thighs, putting his lips anywhere and everywhere. We know all the boys love our body, but Ben really is a worshipper and he's not shy to show us and reinforce that we're beautiful, especially on the days we struggle with body image.

Ben is probably the most outwardly romantic of all the guys, so he does a lot of grand gestures. That's just how Ben is: the bigger, the better in his eyes. There are a lot of surprises where Ben is involved; surprise dates, surprise day trips, surprise stealing us away from his brothers and pissing them off in the process. You name it, he's doing it. We are never short of love when Ben's around.

Matt

You'd think Kylo would be the schedule-oriented one when it comes to us, and sometimes that does ring true, but Matt is always ensuring we're on top of the day's plans. Pills? Vitamins? Whatever we're taking, he's got them lined up and ready along with a glass of water for us when we wake.

I know Matt really comes off as stand-offish to most when it comes to romance, but that's just because he has his own brand of contact. His grabs tend to be a little more possessive, of course: a hand gripping the back of our neck, our waist, our ass or our thigh. But that's just Matt, he's rough around the edges, but at the heart of it all, everything he does is with love.

Matt's a big educator like Jack when it comes to subjects he's passionate about. He doesn't share much with a lot of people, though, but he does share with us. He loves to teach us about botany, about anything STEM even if we aren't fully grasping the subject at hand. Quality time is a big thing with Matt and stealing us away to have alone time with us is one of the ways he can really open up and be himself.

[the12thnightproject]

could i request a ikesen boys x thicc mc? like not really society's "fat" but hourglass? ( i know they'd be a lil surprised cause thats completely against asian beauty standards) ty! specifically motonari , nobunaga, masamune, and kenshin.please, but you can add more if you want if not thats okay!

Hi kawaiidumbass,

Thank you for sending an ask. 🙂

This is a little different from my normal writing style (I tend to stick with weird situational scenarios, rather than distinct MC characteristics), so I had to do some thinking and research.

Ikesen, aside from the occasional CGs with Mai, doesn't dwell at all on MC's appearance, aside from the fact that she has a beautiful smile. The warlords all believe she is "adorable," "cute," "beautiful" and some have gone on to attribute that to how passionate and brave she is in pursuing her dreams and ideals. No matter what MC looks like, the warlords adore her because she is who she is, passionate, idealistic, strong, and clever.

Anyway, that's just an overall general sense (warlord specific responses are below).

I've never been to Japan, so I don't really know what current "Asian beauty standards" are, but I've been an academic researcher in several fields, and I have library access to journal articles of all sorts. Which basically means, if someone says "Asian beauty standards" the first thing I am going to do is research what the beauty standards actually were in feudal Japan.

It's a compulsion.

Some things I have researched in the course of writing fanfic include, "what were the toilet facilities in Kasugayama," "what plants in Japan are poisonous?" "what kind of monkeys are native to Japan?" "What kind of fabrics would be available in Sengoku Japan? (which led me to the discovery that many samurai knew how to knit and did so in their down time)?" "how big were samurai's horses, and would they have had any access to European or Arabian breeds?" "What kind of mirrors were available to them?" "Did they have padlocks?"

...You get the idea.

Here's what I discovered were considered attractive/ and or trendy for women in 16th and 17th century Japan:

Floor length hair

Shaved off eyebrows (and then drawn in above their normal position)

White skin (cosmetically lightened)

Blackened teeth (covered in charcoal)

Red lips

plump figure (this is actually fairly common in many medieval societies, because there was an association between wealth and the ability to overindulge in food. It's really only been in the past 150 years that 'heroin chic' was, er, chic).

Therefore, based on the above research...

Nobunaga - Clearly this is a Princess from a wealthy clan. A rival clan? Perhaps even an enemy clan? Has she been sent to him as a spy? He might have her maids watch her correspondence, until it can be confirmed that she's not secretly sending information to her family. Once she's confirmed to be innocent, he thinks about potential dynastic marriage. It would be politically helpful to have a wealthy bride. Plus, of course, he adores her.

Masamune - This is an MC accustomed to being served fine foods, and likely has a vast and experienced palate. As a chef, he is intrigued... and challenged. Can he cook something that is better than anything she has ever eaten before? He might even quiz her on her favorite dishes, curious to learn about new cooking styles and ingredients. Oh, they can have so much fun together in the kitchen!

Motonari - [Note: route spoilers]. Clearly this woman has no idea what it is like to have been starving, what life is like for those in the lower classes. How can she criticize his plans for the world when she has never experienced starvation? Of course he finds her attractive and lively, but he has no patience for a spoiled rich girl who has had everything she ever wanted handed to her. Their arguments will be epic.

Kenshin - Will never believe that this woman is a simple seamstress. And given that he first meets her in Azuchi, he might immediately be suspicious that she is associated with the Oda. He does find her lovely and an interesting companion, but she would have to work much harder to gain his trust, because he thinks her story about being a servant is a lie. In fact... "to the dungeon with you, woman."
