#elevated view

[l8tof1]

to me the whole point of f1, and why i got into it, is that the cars are these meticulously engineered machines that - under the right circumstances - are fucking magical to watch. like for example, a wide angle shot of a car absolutely glued to the ground while going through a sleek S chicane?? 😮‍💨🤤

street tracks are just bumpy, with awkward super slow 90-degree corners, vision is obscured too, and it’s such a waste imo to have these incredible cars race in spaces where they don’t reach their full potential.

#the character and history of real race tracks create such a special atmosphere too!! #i want elevation changes and huge grand stands #i want to see more of the track and the cars than whatever view we can have between city buildings #i don’t want drivers tiptoeing around apartment blocks and wine bars like wtf are we doinggggggg #f1

Seeing all of my qsmp friends on here talk about the horrors of shipping on englishtwt is so funny to me. I haven't downloaded twitter and only have an account to vote on mcc polls. I don't have the app, I use the website alone and even then it's only to check what place insert creator here is on trending. My consumption of qsmp fanart and fan media is exclusively through tumblr and very niche corners of tik tok. Everyone I've talked to or interacted with are absolutely down for shipping the characters in a gay sex way because they're currently living on gay sex island and have gay sex on stream. The concept that any of what these creators are doing live could even possibly be "against their boundaries" is fuckin absurd to me. Vegeta and Foolish proudly introduce each other to the Brazilian creators as boyfriends. Quackity has canonically never met a woman before Jaiden. Speaking of which, there is one woman on the entire server and shes aro/ace both in game and in real life. Most of the eggs actively ship the creators together and ask for new polycules to form to give them new parents. All of the brazilian creators are in one polycule taking care of one egg. Slime asked "tiktok edit this" while he was having minecraft sex with Mariana. After they broke character and talked about their personal lives yesterday during the egg finale Mariana asked Charlie to break up with his girlfriend and marry him instead so he could get a green card. Then they fucked in Mariana's bed to another song as a fairwell before ending stream. They both admitted to loving the fanart they saw on twitter of them passionately making out and said it was their favorite part of the server. The only person who even mildly dislikes any of the shipping is Grace LMAO

#qsmp #i love watching the qsmp englishtwt side of the fandom go down in flames safely from the sidelines #its like that one john mulaney skit. #someone comes up to me and tells me that english twitter did something new. and its not always bad #just sometimes suprising and confusing #like englishtwt used the elevator?..... i didnt know they knew how to do that. #anyway get off of twitter its bad for you 👍 #also ive used twitter a little bit #but only to view the spanishtwt side of the qsmp so i could #1: practice spanish #and 2: read a fanfic twitter au that was written in spanish #but seriously fanart of the gay sex that canonically happened is totally fine. what the fuck is englishtwt on #i make yet anothet post just for me 👍

since we’re on this topic, jeremy strong, sarah snook, and brian cox are the main succession cast members who publicly called for a ceasefire in gaza last year (along with a painfully short list of others in the industry). here's brian cox reading "If I Must Die" by Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer who was killed Dec 7.

so if we must spend time on celebrities’ voices (+ disproportionate cultural influence) on the current crisis we should at least elevate the right ones.

#for the record i think any attention and energy ppl have should be channelled towards supporting palestine instead of #expecting celebrities to be grand arbiters of truth and justice and activism like - #just because they're successful actors does not mean they have any knowledge about other areas of life #HOWEVER the reality we live in means that a ton of ppl rely on celebrities to inform their political views and knowledge #because of this association between fame/status and Being Right About Everything #so as long as that is the reality id much rather elevate the voices of those among them who at least try to use #their disproportionately powerful platform for good #anyways thats all i have to say about this. im so tired and like. palestinians are dying as i type this . this whole Thing of #GG actors showing up w ribbons for israel or whatever is just. obscene. and so out of touch with fucking reality #golden globes #succession #queerasian.txt

Not to rant about thg but to rant abt thg something that has always bothered me with all the hunger games dupes in the 2010s is the way they hollowly take aspects and apply them on a blanket level onto their world. Like a big critique of the ya genre is "why is it always teenagers in these situations" when thg had this clear explicit reason as to why the age range was teenagers and what that said about this society Suzanne Collins was trying to set up. A fictional society she was pretty explicitly using as a critique of real world american culture. Like it is not subtle!

And yes obviously ya novels use primarily 12-18 yr olds in their stories is because that age rage is typically the most marketable and the hunger games isn't this like radical exception to that, but what makes it stand out to me is that she had a narrative reason for that trope that isn't just "highschool kids meddling"

Just like how so many take the idea of "oppression government" and "being grouped into different divisions of society" at completely face value and don't try to add any meaningful depth. Even the love triangle, an aspect of those books I see torn to shreds constantly, was used as a device to analyze Katniss's character and motivations AND a way to explore that even her relationships are under control of this government. It all had purpose.

#:v #the hunger games #I could talk Abt thg for hours but unfortunately I would annoy everyone around me #The thing abt thg and why it's so successful and why so many view it as ''one of the good ones'' in the ya genre #Is that it used established tropes of the genre to better elevate it's narrative #the love triangle SERVERS a PURPOSE! #it's also just compelling drama for teenagers which isn't a bad thing #it's fun to read and marketable #shit like that starts to feel stale when that's all it is #it also is for many people babys first capitalism critique which again that is not a negative #It is good and productive to introduce those themes to kids with a compelling and entertaining story #Which is why so many of rip off ya distopian novels that so desperate want to be thg fall flat #they're not doing anything with the themes or world building they're just using it as a backdrop #Which is disappointing considering we've seen what can be done with this kind of story

the terror has me itching to fall into another rabbit hole about victorian racism because they absolutely nail the despair james would feel at "not being even English" but I need the details of what the Victorians were thinking about the Brazilians specifically. It's already pretty wild that James ends up embodying the English fear of miscegenation of all things, which right now I can't remember if it's openly addressed when it comes to Francis and Sophia or it's only implied (I am aware about the essays on how the Irish are an inferior race of "white gorillas", I don't believe for a second Sir John wasn't) but the ties to a different colonial empire...they had a caste system too, to add to the mindfuckery.

#like james' mother could have not even been white. that's the level we are at. he doesn't know either. #the terror #antiqua ponders how the terror masterfully uses gothic tropes which were appropriate for the time #european racism is so fascinating to me and victorian racism in particularly because it tends to be my field of study #and also because you read things like wilkie collins being accused of corrupting the public by being a francophile #i found an essay about anti german sentiment propagated by the stereotype of germans loving sausages too much #like sometimes it's fucked up shit like matthew arnold pontificating on the inherent inferiority of the celtic race and how england needs #to conquer them for their own good #and some other time it's room with a view where they go to italy and faint when they see italians #where is that post about lovecraft's nightmares being to be in an elevator with an irishman

last night i probably had the best view of am that i’ve ever had 😳

#we were row seven and bc the rows are all steps you’re elevated #so i had a completely unobstructed view of the entire band 😳 #like i could see all four of them and all their touring members from head to toe!!! #the red rocks stage must be a little smaller than other stages i’ve seen them on bc usually if i’m on nick’s side jamie is far away #but i could see jamie perfectly fine! #matt seemed closer too! #it was so weird to see the stage floor and all their feet lmao i’m used to having heads blocking the bottom half of the view #also wow the red rocks behind the ring screen 🤩 #unbelievable

Could you tell us anymore on Team Y? I'm intrigued! (also humans like their letter organisation names don't they Team Y X Corp)

“Oh yes I saw that this world is Corporation X, formerly Team X. Team Y is now the most trusted clinic and research labs across the seven regions. Though they have rebranded as Timeless Research And Clinics, or TRAC in the more recent years. I’ve known them as Team Y my whole life so far.”

“Again i dont know what their earliest years were like, much was lost just because that was over four hundred years ago now.”

“But for now they focus on helping the pokemon and trainers of my world and have medical teams to help any hybrids in other worlds before we fix them as well as support Dev, Lucia, and I as we’re out and about as long as they stay out of our way.” -Stone

#stone takover #mewten crew #pokemon #mewtwo #mewtwo oc #april fools event #fun fact #Team Y started because they believe every pokemon can be a legendary and should be elevated like them #Team X started because they believe every legendary is a normal pokemon and should be defeated like one #but both teams have shifted views and beliefs over the hundreds of years theyve been in control and control things very differently… #so theres your lore #Teams X and Y

#cozy texts #twstposting #(for context anyway) #love that for me [dances] #but lowest of lowest of low keys #if they’re gonna give longer and longer breaks inbetween crumbs of actual progression #and little to no substantial distraction events in between #they may as well wrap it up now lol #Cuz the longer the wait in between the more folk end up stewing in their thoughts #and the more elevated ppls expectations get as they’re forced to reflect longer #even then the loooong periods of nothing kinda wreck the flow in this climate where folk would rather binge. #and with media literacy being dead the responses can only get more extreme from here. #But who am i to say i dont even play that version i just get tangential awareness. #mildly twst spoiler related but no overt mentions. #Either way it’s def a scenario where the medium is starting to work against the ambition of their lil’ plot. #Or at the very least because of the breaks the flaws of the release format are getting a lil more noticeable each time. #Its giving….steven bomb. #It’ll probably be a better sit when it’s just aaaall out and can be viewed as a single 10 hr package. #arc fatigue set in and the nibbles of tip toeing forward can be a bit #immersion breaking. i think.

it’s very funny to me how jed makes fun of octavius for complaining about his job when all he has to do is ‘sit in a fancy office and get paid for doing nothing’. but then once he and octavius get together jed is suddenly like ‘oh my god my poor overworked little lamb i can’t believe they made you make a spreadsheet all by yourself do you need a nap should i cook you some dinner come here and rest your weary head my love’

#to be fair. octavius' job is very stressful and intense sometimes #he is pretty overworked and very tired #but the fact he has the gall to talk about how exhausting it is in front of jed #jed 'almost fell down an elevator shaft at work and does 8hrs of manual labour every day' smith #from jed's point of view it's like. girl shut up #but jed does learn eventually that just because your job isnt physically demanding it doesnt mean its not hard #jed would not last two seconds having to do what octavius does #down then left

one thing about kylo is that he'll argue and throw hands. you're a jedi? he's criticising the code. sith? he's criticising the code. lovecraftian space horror? lightsaber is ignited. truly, a menace to the cosmos.

#tbd. #idk who hates him more.. the jedi or the sith lmao. #when i say he does not ascribe by any force ideology i do mean it. he views the force as something to wield freely in his own benefit #but unbound by any doctrine. #what i love specifically in arc three (post tlj) is the elevation of him as an almost mythical figure. an image of a god which is crafted o #him in the far regions. the illusive figure of the supreme figure that haunts the galaxy. #and it's entirely void of affiliation to either side of the force. he really forges something new for himself; #gradually succumbing to his own dark desires. #he's just my meow meow 🥰 (a war criminal with mystical space powers)

so i'm hesitant to even bring this up because i don't want to jinx anything or get my hopes up but... i have an interview for a job next week. it's in a pretty small town which would be tough for me, but everything else about it seems absolutely fucking perfect, and if it were to be any small town in the united states, this would be ideal, so i think i can handle it. anyway, there aren't a lot of places available for rent, but i just found a recently updated apartment perfectly within my budget that's cat friendly and most importantly: it's a two minute walk from where my job would be. like i'm not kidding. that would be so fucking amazing. i haven't even had my first interview yet, so who knows what will happen, but this feels almost serendipitous?

#i mean even if i land the role someone else might get that apartment first #but the good news is i didnt find it on a traditional apartment search site i had to go direct to the building itself #its a cool fucking building too and would have an elevator (4th floor unit and i have a busted knee) #anyway. i hope i get this job and i hope i can get this apartment too #the view is INSANE! and id be living on the coast again!!! #technically the view is of the bay/river mouth but still. its stunning #i want it so bad #im getting my hopes up. i always get my fucking hopes up #tree talks
