Max/Daniel fic recs (1/?)

Here are some amazing fics I’ve read and loved over the past few months. Thank you always to the fic writers, they are the backbones of society (fandom).

* Favorites, ** Smut, // ABO

***bees and butterflies by @toastandvegemite Daniel asks Max if he’d like to top. Max says no. It turns into a whole thing.

*i need a map of your head (translated into english) by toastandvegemite Sometimes it feels like Daniel and Max are speaking different languages.

***let me know if I'm reading this right by toastandvegemite Sometimes it feels like Daniel and Max are speaking different languages.

[Honestly, Danni’s fics can take up 80% of my recs. Go read every single fic she’s written, but especially Maxiel. No one does them the way she does]

//*so happy i was invited by blinkiesays "I just wanna drive a fucking race car," Daniel says, after he's let the moment go too long to keep the joke up in the air. "That's all I want to do, is drive a fucking race car." The smile drops off Michael's face. "Yeah, I get it," he says, not getting it at all.

**steal the air out of my lungs (make me feel it) by nacho3 “Hey,” Daniel says, sauntering into a work room balancing a green smoothie and two large coffees from the caf. He puts one in front of Max. “You ready to save lives, Maxy?”

***make a wish that weighs a ton by rickybobby What they had was akin to a circumstantial partnership. There were few people in the world that could understand the things Daniel worried about on a daily basis, even less so the people who were willing to stick around to hear it. Through nothing other than convenience and circumstance, Max fulfilled the basic requirements of Daniel’s social needs, along with the perks: available, attractive, attentive.

***careful fear and dead devotion by hardlythewiser (sequinedfairy) Daniel's already having a rough year; then Max dumps him.

**like ribbons by heroics Here they are now, over halfway through the season, and at least one of them’s gotten off after almost every race.

**throw the keys back to me by thermocline But Daniel gets texts from Max more and more often. Links to TikToks. Selfies from the paddock. Snapchat memories of Daniel under the rumpled blankets of Max’s hotel bed in Melbourne, hickies blooming over his chest, at which point Daniel thinks: maybe it’s time for them to try again.

***house fires by tobabylon @geluksalig Max gets a new performance coach. His name is Daniel.

***my kind’s your kind (series) by hardlythewiser (sequinedfairy) It’s the fourth time: Daniel shouldn’t pretend that he doesn’t know exactly how many times it’s been, that these nights in Monaco haven’t become the way he tracks time, replacing his ten years of living by the F1 calendar. There’s days when he doesn’t know what race is next, but he always knows exactly how many weeks it’s been since he’s done this. The chair is closer to the bed now. Daniel had made Max move it, asked him how he expected to learn anything if he was all the way over there, did he even want to learn.

***all over you (and me) by TheNorthRemembers Or: Max starts lactating and dealing with it turns out to be both more and less fun than thought.

***comeon, star boy by @yekoc Daniel’s just slinging his bag over his shoulder to head out to the parking lot when there’s a noise behind him, the hollow metallic echo of a locker door slamming. Turning, he sees that kid. Max. The running back who always fumbles.

***chemical highs and clear blue skies by yekoc “Did he offer you enough,” Daniel says. Max looks over at him, sharp and surprised. “For whatever it is you need,” Daniel says. “Your car payment this month. First and last, for rent.” He thinks about the kid’s odd accent, the slight awkwardness to his words. “A plane ticket home.” Max shrugs. He kicks at the white t-shirt that’s on the ground near his foot.

***heaviness when I move (everything belongs to you) by Aurelia (Lily_rizzy) Or: Max has many feelings about Daniel with babies and about him and Daniel having a baby.

***second soul by @screwstyles The morning of the last day of the season, Max asks his assistant to book him a one-way ticket to Bali.

***with the sun in our eyes (series) by screwstyles A fake dating AU set in 2025: It’s bad enough that Max is outed by an ex in the middle of racing season, and then his team suggests he pretend to date Daniel to soften the blow. It’s as bad an idea as it sounds.

***//Hart to breathe inside my ocean by screwstyles Realistically, Daniel knows he’s aging, and he’s not in denial about that, but processing three separate incidents in the space of four weeks where his age has come up has made him think about it more than usual.

[Honestly, everything by screwstyles is golden]

***anything to get to the rush by kingsguarding Every year, the World Champion gets to choose another driver to … celebrate with. It’s an old tradition, apparently. As old as the sport itself. Part of the prize of winning, part of your reward.

***figure me sweetly by @love-leah Daniel had just been thinking he’d tell Max "good season," "next year I’ll be the one fucking beating you, mate." Maybe, "but seriously, I’m proud of you," if Max's vibe was really desperate. Instead, he ended up standing out in the open, in front of the Haas garage and probably Mick’s poor fucking virgin eyes, tilting the champagne bottle up for Max, and watching the muscles of his throat as he swallowed a long, clean pour of it.

***//hold it to the sun by love-leah When they get home, Max strips his shirt off right away, the fabric of it harsh against his nipples. Daniel drops their bags inside the door and looks at him, hungry and exhausted, and says, “I don’t want to think about racing ever again,” and Max’s whole body feels cold and sore, like after a crash, even while Daniel’s hands press into his waist and he leans in to kiss Max’s chest.

*Cupid by eefiplier Max and Daniel making loooove

**lions in the wild by anaesthetist He drops his face into Max’s hair, nosing at it, inhaling the putrid-sweet smell of Red Bull, champagne, and dry sweat. He didn’t shower before he came, tired and sticky with Martin in tow, turning up at Daniel’s hotel room with nothing more than an insolent you promised.

***kissed her, now you’re seeing double by @ricstappen It’s Max and Dan. Dan and Max. But very occasionally, it’s Max and Dan and Carlos.

**MV33 by Whippasnappa Daniel finds out Max is on Grindr. He's curious. He's just going to download the app, just to see. Just to look at Max's profile. He's curious how Max picks up men, curious if Max puts his real face out there. He's definitely not going to message Max. He's definitely not going to do that. He messages Max.

***all your days by @goldenhourhimbo They’re in love. That’s it, that’s the plot.

***for you, my sacrifice is too by highyellowleaves @blamemma One of those private booths at Cirque Le Soir. That’s where the boys wanted to go. Was booked ages ago. Daniel rolls his eyes. It’s one of the last places he wants to go. Influencers in heels pretending their interested in who he is and what he does. Prying eyes everywhere, paparazzi at the front door. McLaren’s afterparty options aren’t much better. They’re all heading to Tape, where a commercial DJ will be playing some dodgy remixes, and he’ll have similar problems as Max. It’s not how he wants to celebrate. But he knows he has to show face. To thank the engineers and the strategists and the media team for all they’ve done so far. He’ll show face. I’m heading to Tape. Keep in touch tho? We can head somewhere else. It’s normal for him and Max to find each other. They’ve stumbled into this pattern of locating one another, finding excuses to leave their other friends, enjoying each other’s company, being responsible for one another, ending up in the same hotel, same room, same bed.

Lucy ended up in hospital a week ago. I’m still trying to process it. It seems these days I spend a lot of time trying to work out whether my feelings given a situation are “normal” and I have reason to feel how I do, or whether they’re a reaction to past trauma and I shouldn’t bring frustrations up to others.

The kids had all had a bit of a cold. Lucy had seemed to be on the tail-end. We left home at 7am for a 9:30 gastro appointment of Hattie’s in Melbourne. Lucy came with us. 2.5 hours of driving and we were still late. In the waiting room we gave Lucy a feed. It seemed to really exaggerate her effort to breathe, and make it a heap noisier. It was so noisy that Hattie’s gastro consultant told us to not go home straight away and to hang around the hospital for an hour or so and if it didn’t improve to go to emergency.

We hung around. Once the feed digested a little and wasn’t pushing so much on her lungs she improved a bit so we drove home. We had to drive straight to pick up Fletcher as he had a primary school transition afternoon. We took him to that, then went home. Hattie lost her special reward toy that she got for letting the doctor poke at her stomach (positive rewards for past medical trauma), somewhere between the kinder and home. We couldn’t find it anywhere. So I dropped all the kids at home with Aaron (he was home by this point). Went searching all the shops in the hope I could find another, miraculously did. Got home and Lucy had just had another feed and her breathing was bad again.

At this point I decided I’d take her to the local urgent care clinic in the hopes of avoiding emergency. Got to urgent care. They took her straight in. Stripped her down and looked at her breathing and decided she was really sick and needed the hospital. With how her breathing was they weren’t confident in me driving with her the 2 blocks so they called an ambulance. Her sats were lower 80s. Her feet were purple/mottled. As we were waiting for the ambulance (not long at all) there was a shift change. The new doctor agreed she needed the hospital asap and it to be an ambulance situation. The words “very sick” were used multiple times. They started putting numbing cream and stuff on her so that emergency could work on her asap.

We got to emergency. She was stick sucking her ribs and trachea right in. She had improved to her sats in the 90s though she was having to work hard for that. The paeds doctor came in and declared she was fine. Went to send us straight home. I mentioned about her sats being low at urgent care, to which they said oh I guess we should admit you for the night then. I was just going to send you home for the night. She’s giving everyone smiles, she’s just a happy puffer.

The night before Hattie came home from NICU, I brought up with the same paeds department that when feeding her she was stopping breathing and going blue. I was treated like I was just overly anxious, so accepted I’d seen her stop breathing so many times I probably was just anxious. Over the next 6 weeks she did it multiple times with feeds. I’d take her to emergency and we’d be told she was just a “happy puffer”. It didn’t matter how many times I tried to get her help, I was always given that same line. My kids struggle to breathe but still smile apparently! It wasn’t until I cracked it and drove to Melbourne demanding help did the Melbourne paeds look at her. We found out her milk was going into her lungs and we went to the feeding tube! It was only 6 months ago now that her Melb respiratory consultant told me in an appointment that she will never forget that first time she saw Hatt and how much she was struggling to breathe. The exact same breathing that local paeds just shrug off:

Anyway, Lucy seemed a lot better by the next morning, so I didn’t go all mumma bear on them like I was planning. I mean the doctors didn’t even see her. The nurse just came in and said if you’re happy the doctors are happy for Lucy to be discharged.

I’ve spent the week going over it in my head though. Am I so frustrated and annoyed at the doctors’ at local paeds because it’s bringing back up the trauma of Hattie’s experience? Or do I have every right to be so completely annoyed at them? Melb we’re concerned enough to tell us to go to emergency to a baby they didn’t even look at, was in the pram across the room, and not their patient. Two separate shifts of doctors/nurses at urgent care were extremely worried about her.

I don’t know. Lucy’s completely fine now. Back to her normal self. But far out, our local paeds department has requested two consecutive years to use Hattie’s story for the junior paediatric doctor exams to improve management of respiratory issues, then this shit happens!

#tell me I’m not exaggerating #or maybe I’m just overreacting #if you read all that you deserve a medal

The first of a few legs of the journey down.

HBA - MEL

4am wake up. Despite setting my alarm, getting up at 4am regularly with Loki meant I beat the alarm by a few seconds! Took him out and stood in the freezing dark while he did his doggie ablutions. His cortisone tablets means he is drinking enormous amounts and peeing correspondingly! 10pm, 1am and 4am. Such is the state of my mind currently I rarely get back to sleep so by the time the 6am alarm normally goes off, I switch it off and get a precious extra hour of sleep. It being winter and a long ways south it’s still dark until well after 7am, so sleeping in is possible.

Tried not think of this goodbye with Loki as a final goodbye. He did his normal stretching and upside down, “Please scritch my stomach” act, which I obliged.

I’m back frantically making pacts with the gods (those capricious fucks). If they just take some pity and let him still be there when I get back….I’ll what? Be a good girl? How many of these daily trades did I do as a kidlet, except it was more along the lines of, if I’m reeeeeally good, please make him not be angry today, if I volunteer and do extra washing up, will he be in a good mood….I’ll give up my chocolate ration if he just doesn’t lose his shit. And no surprises there, the big G god I begged for pity back then showed no mercy, so I’m not holding my breath now.

So a long, slow drive through the dark peering through the defogging windscreen to avoid the crowds of possums and pademelons hopping across the road.

The first airport lounge. A long weekend of Dark Mofo means it’s heaving at 5am, so un-Hobart like! I’m already grumpy, possible even a tad surly. I’ve spent the past few days wrestling with the huge decision of whether to checkin my little carryon bag of keep it as carryon. I have six hours in Melbourne and it was the thought of having to haul that thing around every time I wanted to pee, get a drink, get something to eat that tipped the scales. The downside of travelling alone, no one to watch your bags while you go pee. And I always have a morbid fear of getting human excrement on my luggage when in airport toilets!! Humans are fucking grots, I don’t trust them where shit it concerned!!!

However, I am unfailingly polite and friendly to airport staff. While I can’t remember the exact words, a good friend once said (words to the effect) that being nice to those that service us sets the civilised from the uncivilised and this does not spare those with money and means! In fact it’s generally those who should know better who don’t do better. So thanks to my egalitarian friend I am always on my best behaviour even when tired, coffee-less and struggling with the thought of never seeing Loki again.

Vast crowds of hipster, blowins from the mainland means I can’t sit and sob. What is I never see Loki again, and fuck I’m dreading the next few days.

Norris highlights where Piastri differs to Ricciardo and says hes being pushed more by his new team mate

Lando Norris has been comparing his current team mate Oscar Piastri to his predecessor Daniel Ricciardo, explaining how the two are similar, but also how they differ, as well as how his rookie team mate is pushing him more this season. Piastri is five races into his rookie campaign in the sport, having joined McLaren from Alpine - where he served as a reserve driver in 2022 - at the start of this year as a replacement for compatriot Daniel Ricciardo. READ MORE: Piastri reveals he had a ‘major failure’ on his McLaren just six laps into the Miami GP Currently Piastri sits 14th in the championship with four points – compared to Norris in ninth with 10 points – with one top-10 finish to his name in Melbourne. But, despite that, the 22-year-old's performances have already caught the eye of many, including his team mate. “Honestly, just as a genuine, genuine answer, it's not too different,” said Norris. “I think how I worked last year, and how I worked with Daniel, it's not too different - not too many things change. Norris says Piastri's pushing him more this season than he has been the last couple of years “Maybe they lean on me a little bit more for the knowledge of how we were in previous years, to look at the development from last year to this year and things like that. But, apart from that, you both give your sides of the feelings and the story of what's going on to the car, what you want from the car, which aligns very well. WATCH: Lando Norris takes Michelle Rodriguez on a Fast and Furious Pirelli Hot Lap in Miami “I wouldn't say we have the same driving style, but our comments and complaints are generally always the same. So, I think that's a good thing. He's a lovely guy, down to earth, normal guy, hard worker, and so on. So, it's good, fun. Different, I guess to Daniel. “I feel like a bit of a contrast of Australian but still good fun. He's very fast at the same time. So probably been pushing me a little bit more than the past couple years. So yeah, enjoyable.” Zak Brown has been more than impressed by Piastri since he joined the team McLaren CEO Zak Brown was also asked about the performances of Piastri so far this season, and he was full of praise for the young Australian, believing that he is beginning to match the pace set by the more experienced Norris. POWER RANKINGS: Which drivers impressed our judges at the Miami Grand Prix? “Oscar has been impressive since we've had him in the car," said Brown. "He's very mature, he's very focused and he’s very technical. So, the combination of Lando and Oscar, I couldn't think of a better combination of drivers. “I'm sure Otmar [Szafnauer] and Guenther [Steiner] might have a different view, as they should, as far as all of us supporting our drivers, but Oscar has done a fantastic job, and he's trading lap times with Lando now, and that's what you want.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Would've, Should've, Could've, & what it means to me.

You've all been following me for a few years now (10+ at this point), and I've never been vocal on here about my love for the woman that is, Taylor Swift. This woman has had a grip on me since Fearless was released, namely due to the following songs: 1. Fifteen 2. White Horse 3. Forever & Always (Piano Version) 4. You Belong With me / Love Story (Obvs) I was 11 when Fearless was released so I didn't get the full experience as a pre-teen that knew absolutely nothing of heartbreak or loving another person (Though I pretended I did). It wasn't until Speak Now was released when I was 13 that I RAN to the nearest store that sold CD's and bought every version avaliable known to people of this earth. Now this isn't a write up about Fearless or Speak Now, although I'm thinking it should be at this point. I'm here today to talk about Midnights, as a now 25 year old woman with their frontal lobe fully in tact making sense of what didn't making sense in years prior. If you've made it this far, thank you. You are wonderful. Midnights is pure pain, in every instance, it is pain and we can't deny it. It was 3pm (Australian AEST) when I streamed the record for the first time. I was working from home, at my desk when we crashed Spotify. now i'll be honest, I wasn't in the best state mentally, and i'm still not in the best state but I'm better than was on October 21st 2022. I enjoyed the first listen, but I couldn't get into as much i'd hope as, to be quite frank, I was in the worst state of mind mentally, fighting for my life and i couldn't quite click with any song but Sweet Nothing due to the different tones of the record. Midnights (3am Edition) arrived at 6pm (AEST) while I was out doing some retail therapy and again, I couldn't give the additional seven songs the listen that they deserved whilst driving across Melbourne, Australia. I've had a lot of time to play Midnights on repeat, Bigger Than The Whole Sky & Would've, Should've, Couldve to be exact. Both songs resonated with me and where I'm currently at in life. Would've, Should've, Couldve holds a torch over me and my past situationships and people I was with between the ages of 17 - 19. "I damn sure never would've danced with devil, at nineteen" Now I dated some questionable people between those years, but it wasn't until Taylor sung this very specific line when it hit that a 21 year old man really shouldn't have involved himself with a 17 year old girl. I believe I was still a child at that point and stand by it. By all means it wasn't a toxic relationship, but it could've been handled better and someone along the way should've stepped in to say "Hey, maybe this isn't the best idea." But we know how teenagers are, we know they won't listen and need to make their own mistakes. It was a turbulent three - six months (I can't quite remember the length of time this went on for), but it was a considerable amount of time to have stained me over the course of 2014. It was fast paced, it was beautiful and it was the most pain I had experiened in my life relationship wise at that point in my life and it's still something that has a hold on me because it was wrong, in so many ways. There's many different ways to kill the one you love, the slowest way is never loving them enough. I wish he would've looked away rather than pursuing me through mutual friends and family. I wish he would've left me wondering. He made me feel important then tried to erase us, and he was a crisis of my faith. I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but Would've, Should've, Could've does, and this is where I sign off for tonight. Peace Out Doggies, Samantha-Leigh

A move across the world

This past year I made a dramatic move and packed my bags for Melbourne, Australia. I assumed that living here for a year would be effortless, a trip to broaden my horizons. I had heard so many stories about how beautiful and similar to Canada it is. I wanted to travel to learn and experience different cultures and meet new people who had such different life experiences than me. I never believed in staying in your hometown for life around the same people, doing the same things, that type of life is not for me. Though I find myself brave, curious, and adventurous in those aspects, I was not expecting the culture shock when I landed in Australia. Probably the beginning was nervousness about my new adventure, but I did not realize how easy it is to become so comfortable in your ways of life that when they are not there anymore you almost go into fight or flight.

I was so used to the community I had built at home and at university, I was so used to my routine, I was so used to having my family only a drive away. Being out of reach has made me immensely grateful for these aspects of my life at home but also helps me recognize the importance in culture and community. I am who I am because of the environment and group I grew up around. I learned from these people a certain way of living and now being stripped of that community for the next year, it is increasingly difficult to find one here in Australia that has the same core as mine does at home. But do I want that? Do I want to form a community similar to home? These are questions I am asking myself now that I understand the difference in countries. Now that I am here it is about navigating my new culture, I’ve become part of.

Thankfully, culture now is not a life-or-death situation as it was a long time ago. I will not be exiled or punished for being from another country or culture. I will be able to integrate myself fairly seamlessly even if it does not feel that way. Culture and cultural integration has dramatically “improved” or become more lenient to who is allowed where and I personally am so grateful for that. Being able to explore other people’s ways of life and communities is a privilege that not everyone gets to encounter.

Beginning of my 5th week of no work, feel like a washed out 3D Game developer.

Week 5, and still no resolve and n work, no new employer and feeling like a washed out hopeless game developer.

Its interesting too in reading up the latest Unity scandal for the last week, and glad I have moved from Unity over a year ago, although still have a version of the engine installed , just for Asset conversions mostly, never to produce or develop any demos from though, especially given what Unity have been doing the past 14 days. So many developers are now leaving that development engine, because of those proposed changes. Though they have claimed to have corrected this recently due to the bail out, but can you still trust them.

But that's beside the point, and comparing that UE5 really has the best visuals and better support.

But back on the subject, how am I really feeling? Is this really a question or a statement. Like I said I feel like one of those washed out people feeling lost. I wake up these days and don't feel I want to get up from bed, though to wake up back into this nightmare, sometimes I wish I could just escape it all, escape this nightmare and get away from all of this strain.

To be somewhere where I would not need to stress, not have to worry, To be appreciated, to be respected for being me, to be wanted, to feel more like I have more of a purpose, in this life, and not be constantly having my wrists and mind clamped down, away from freedom and have the free will of being creative. It just feels like more and more that ability to be creative, to be free, to think freely is being clamped down.

I know there is and realize that I still have also allot to do to update more of my online portfolios, but the energy and to push myself, I have not that energy and feel like my mind or this rotten cycle of depression is letting me down, I have less energy and less of a drive to much, I feel burned and finding no easy fast way to get my self back on track. I even as I write this, though I really should be in bed at this time, but I don't even want to sleep. I don't want to be alone, but to to go to bed to shut the computers off to close communications to the outside world and sleep in the dark bedroom at the back of my rented unit, with no one. This is the time I wish I had a Girlfriend with me or at least near by, but again no one here in Australia wants me, but those far way overseas.

Many thoughts have been going through my head lately in the last few weeks, thoughts on what future do I have or could I have given certain options. One being the potential move back to home down in Melbourne Victoria to stay with my sister for abit, as she said to start again. but I would feel like I failed on the last 23 years pf being up here. Another is the potential future relocation the big move to overseas, such as the Philippines, with many things that could be more ideal considering that the cost of many things, like a real owned house, could be more affordable, and possible. again another big chance. And I already know of women over there that if any of them could get to meet me, would inf act marry me to be there husband. And no one in Australia ever wants to know me other than family?

And my family don't even support that option, even though at one time until recent they were in agreement, but that now has changed, so I am now all alone again. And its all too quiet here, other than at the moment I have birds outside awake and its still dark, outside, I know dawn is soon though in about possibly 40 minutes away, so should be in bed. I just want to calm down!

And I need a job again and need a future, and need to believe in myself, more.

The one thing I don't need is this rotten depression, and the anxiety!

My YouTube Rewind Top 10 for 2022, based generally on time "viewed" (Starting 7 months ago, I drive for a living now, so "Can I just listen to it?" is weighted very heavily here).

(Also I am 40 so this is a very Dad Content list. Which is weird because I am not a dad and do not follow the sportsball. But Dadness still infiltrated things a bit. There are no golf or sportstalk channels, don't worry. Not yet, anyway.)

1. The Weekly Planet -- Generalist nerd media podcast out of Melbourne, Australia. Hands down the only good podcast on the entire Internet. Their Best Of compilations from years past are required listening and relistening. Also they do a short weekly show about movies and TV shows called Caravan of Garbage that is the bar by which all others are judged, and always come up short.

2. DankPods -- Sydney, Australian, retro mp3 player channel that has now expanded into general audio hardware reviews. But oh, so much more is going on here. This guy is one of the funniest, most energetic creators on the platform. Even if you don't care about anything he is interested in, you will love watching him talk (and scream) about it. Co-starring Frank the Snake. He also has two side channels about fixing up trashed Australian cars and drumming (he is a drummer by trade) that are just as good.

3. That Chapter -- True crime with a sense of humor, that is only occasionally mean-spirited. But even in those cases it is usually in the service of bad Dad Jokes so that's okay. He always tries to include actual 911 calls and trial footage, 20+ minutes, here is what happened, in a straightforward way that respects your intelligence. None of that "creating a narrative" horseshit that make true crime podcasts by actual journalists un-fucking-bearable 10 hour slogs that pretend they are saying something profound about the universe by the end. They're not. Stop paying 8 people to produce these; maybe then you wouldn't have to shill for whatever criminally-overpriced nonsense Peloton just invented. True crime podcasts suck, That Chapter is why.

4. Morbid Midnight -- He covers what I can only call "disasters," some true crime, others extreme sports accidents, also plenty of generally horrendous historical events. Lots of stories about people being blown off of mountain sides or getting trapped in caves. His subdued delivery of dark content is like what Chills pulled off, back before it became a meme and a parody of itself. I don't know why I like hearing about adventurous people dying horribly. Probably because I can then feel smug about how I wasn't so stupid as to dive into a cave like a big stupid idiot, you idiots. You shouldn't have been doing that. You should just get drunk and watch YouTube like me. See? They're the losers, not me.

5. Professor of Rock -- Oh god, the Dad. This is a daily upload channel in which Adam Reader, the Professor of Rock, talks about Dad Rock, and how great Dad Rock is, and how modern not-Dad Rock sucks. Tons of classic rock trivia, and also snippets of long-form interviews with the artists who made this stuff. This is the channel you are forced to admit is good and you like while simultaneously being embarrassed about how old that makes you look. But that's not Adam's fault. Seriously, a good channel for music nerds.

6. Cathode Ray Dude [CRD] -- He started doing short-form videos about the old camcorders he collected. He now does long videos about fascinating and obscure cul de sacs in tech history, routinely with live demonstrations of said tech. And yes, he almost always ends up explaining how this wonky failed media format can actually be a metaphor for our sad, short little lives. Which would be forced journo bullshit. Except it always ends up forcing me to respect the legions of unsung engineers and desperate marketing executives who had a hand in creating our modern technocratic world, even if only by failing spectacularly. These goofy creations really are artifacts of entire little worlds, many of them long-dead and forgotten. It is as sad and funny as it is fascinating.

7. Snipe and Wib -- A Warhammer 40,000 channel, but HOLD ON, this is one of the good ones! They do a show called Codex Compliant that goes through the published history of Warhammer lore from Rogue Trader in the mid-1980s to now. They love 'grimdark' and Space Marines as much as they understand that all of it was created as a cheeky English parody of melodramatic, misogynistic total-war fantasy worlds. I always thought Warhammer 40K was a boring expensive thing for the grossest WASP nerd boys before I watched Snipe and Wib. Now I know that Warhammer 40K is a boring expensive thing for EVERYONE. I'm not buying and painting miniatures or arguing over protractors yet, but I kind of want to because of Snipe and Wib. I at least get it now. It is a lot to manage, but a lot of it is pretty cool.

8. Imbrandonfarris -- Like I have to explain who Brandon Farris is. He is a charismatic guy who hurts himself and destroys his own apartment to entertain the world's children. And he doesn't say swears so they're allowed to watch it. And BOY, do they watch it! This is content for 8 year olds. But goddamn it if it isn't really, really GOOD content for 8 year olds, the kind the rest of the family can enjoy, too. Brandon is charming as hell, his story is heartwarming, his family is adorable, and you don't even resent him for recently buying a palatial estate in which he can spray foam on everything. This is a guy who exists to do the stupid shit the rest of us wish we could do, and he kills himself doing it, and the world has rightly responded by rewarding him for it. Good on you, Brandon. Also it is just really funny to watch a man destroy a bedroom with an exploding pumpkin filled with glitter and then fall down.

9. Warlockracy -- Russian-based gaming channel that mostly posts long-form analyses of PC RPGs, especially those in the isometric family of the original Fallout games. These games maintain a huge cultural influence on gamers in Russia and Eastern Europe, and being one of those, Warlockracy uses his platform to give the rest of us an insider's perspective of that world. Seriously, if you want to understand modern Russia, and even the war in Ukraine, Warlockracy casually explains complex aspects of both of these, via the easily-grasped context of games like STALKER and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. I believe he is still in Russia, so I don't know how he pulls off this kind of commentary at this point and hasn't gotten in trouble yet. But he keeps doing it, and with an easy sense of humor that I cannot comprehend, having to live under those circumstances. I wish him the best, and hope to enjoy his content as long as it lasts.

10. Thew Adams -- Thew reviews Transformers. But that...that doesn't begin to cover it. Threw Adams is a ray of sunshine on YouTube, and everyone needs to watch his videos. Don't care about Transformers? Doesn't matter. Seriously. It DOESN'T MATTER. You will like Threw. You will never see a more delightful person. And no matter your gender or sexuality, if you don't want to kinda kiss him on the mouth, you're not human. Thew makes everything fun, especially when he doesn't like something. Thew Adams is the bit of chocolate you let yourself have every day because no, you don't NEED IT, but it makes you happy, goddammit. Watch Thew. Thew is good.

Honorable Mentions (in that, these are consistently good channels I have liked for years, even if their specific content every year might not be perpetually notable):

Jenny Nicholson

LGR

Techmoan

PeanutButterGamer / Peebs

Parallel park

#Parallel park drivers#

#Parallel park full#

#Parallel park pro#

#Parallel park free#

The most voted sentence example for parallel-park is Sarah had. ZF hasn’t announced plans for any automakers to put it into production yet, but advanced steering systems are becoming more and more common on high-end vehicles. Example sentences with the word parallel-park. In-wheel electric motors would also eliminate the need for driveshafts that wouldn’t be compatible with the large steering angle while still providing four-wheel-drive capability. Many electric cars remove this barrier and currently use that space for an extra trunk that could be shaped around the wheels.

#Parallel park full#

MotorTrend notes that the biggest hurdle for incorporating this sort of system into a vehicle is packaging, and that it would be difficult to find enough room under the hood for the wheels to move through the full range of motion needed with an engine in the way. Automotive industry supplier ZF has created a new steering system that allows cars to drive sideways. With the EasyTurn, the car just needs to be backed into the space at an angle and the wheels turned toward the curb to swing the front of the car in.

#Parallel park drivers#

The feature also lets drivers pull into smaller parallel parking spaces much more easily than using the traditional method. ZF has installed it onto an electric BMW i3 to demonstrate how a car can make a U-turn by essentially pivoting around the rear wheels within the space of a single lane road. The EasyTurn system uses a unique strut suspension setup that lets the front wheels turn 80 degrees, more than twice that of a regular system.Īccording to MotorTrend, the system adds a link between the tie rod and steering rack that increases the articulation far beyond the standard design. Test drive: The 2022 GMC Hummer EV is the Ultium-ate truckĪutomotive industry supplier ZF has developed a new steering system that allows cars to drive sideways. Ive been known to get a compliment (or three) about the incredible deftness and quickness with which I can park. World's wildest parking lot is like a giant game of Tetris I am very proud of my parallel parking skills. We pay our respects to the Elders of this land and all Indigenous lands - past, present and emerging.What's the best way to find a parking space? Math has the answer Keeping a close watch on everything thats happening behind you, slowly begin to drive backwards, staying parallel to the parked cars. This land belongs to the Jagera and Turrbal people, whose sovereignty has never been ceded. We wish to acknowledge that we live and work on stolen land. Can You Fail Parallel Parking And Still Pass In NY Yes, you can fail parallel parking.

#Parallel park pro#

Our experienced instructors at Pierre Paul Driving School can teach you this entire procedure until you become a pro before your road test. You must know where parking is illegal and what NO PARKING, NO STANDING and NO STOPPING signs. The duo have worked collaboratively for six years, exhibiting works at various spaces nationally such as UNSW (Sydney), Metro Arts (Brisbane), FELT Space (Adelaide), BUS Projects (Melbourne) and Hobiennalle (Hobart). Parallel parking is easy when you practice it a couple of times. Parallel parking takes skill and is part of every road test. The engagement with play and spontaneity allows for both practices to weave into the making process, resulting in erotically and humorously charged works that contain a strong sense of duality. The collaboration heavily employs play as process, which takes form through performance, video and installation. The focus of the collaboration is concentrated on playfully exploring the external influences that impact queerness and the intricacies of the artist’s relationship. Parallel Park is the collaborative art practice between artists Holly Bates and Tay Haggarty.

V8 Challenge Review

Being a racer is a sport that dates back to very old times and requires experience to the same extent. This passion, which started with carting at a very young age, is the right step to become a strict racer. The reason is very simple; the same applies to this as we develop ourselves in this game by playing a game. Starting carting at a young age, you experience many experiences in carting until you reach a certain level. Many of our racer brothers, who we watch at rallies on the Izmir Gulf track or on television, are people who have experienced this pleasure at a very young age. In fact, car racing is a topic that many of us follow fondly. There are many different types of car racing. For example, F1, Nascar, Carting. Now the game I will introduce you to is about V8 in these genres. Burst exhaust sound In V8, we all have the kind of engines to keep our mouths open. The cars we normally use in our daily lives come across with a little more makeup. So we're talking modified cars. In these cars, the strength of the car's engine is more important than the appearance. Even if it is a virtual environment in the game, you can feel the power of the engine. If you also want to throw yourself into this atmosphere, my advice would be to play racing games with a vibrating steering wheel. In V8, you race as a team. Just like in F1. In V8 racing, we are very familiar with the teams Holden Racing Team, Ozemail Racing, Castrol Perkins Racing and Big Kev Racer. The races are Bathurst, Sandown, Adelaide, Queensland, Melbourne, where V8 races are held. What are these V8 engines like? As I said before, the game is a V8 team racing game. V8 to give you an example in terms of similarity, I can say that the game has an atmosphere exactly like Nascar. You've been spinning around the runway for hours. Sometimes your car gets out of control, causing you to finish the race with a bad rating. Because the control of your car is not the same as in Nascar cars. Actually, there's not much difference between Nascar racing and V8 racing. In both of them, you walk the same runway for hours like crazy. In the game, you can make any adjustments to your car. In this way, you can create a smooth race according to the track you will race. In the settings you make in the game, you will also have the opportunity to change the weather conditions. You have to be very careful when driving in rainy weather. Because the smallest mistake you make is very likely to damage your car. Although, no matter how much the same situation is involved in the races you do in sunny weather, you are still very careful in rainy weather. How much do you trust yourself? V8 also comes up with two options in Championship mode. One is for you to compete with V8 cars and the other is for you to compete with V8 powered pick ups. In addition, you can also play with Single and Multiplayer modes. I have good news for those who want to design their own race cars. With the Skins program developed by the game's makers, you can design your own car as you wish. You can put ads on your car or even write your own name. After all this, all you have to do is put the file you have prepared under the V8's folder. Let's even briefly describe the operations. First save your prepared skin in 24bit Tga format and then paste it under the C:/ Program Files/Ea Sports/V8 Challenge/Textures folder.This skin program is available from Electronic Arts ' website. Winner Mk Team Who knows, maybe you can join the races as the Mk team and hear the title above as an announcement. Anyway, if we say the last words without breaking away from the topic, the game is a beautiful production that was prepared for V8 fans. I don't recommend it for those who have nothing to do with car racing. But if you like the type of racing in computer games, I recommend the V8 challenge. It's worth taking your place among your racing games in your archive. Read the full article

Sunday 19th June @ 0155h

Tonight was so hard Ali. For the first time since we met, I'm in Melbourne for a reason that's not you...

To get to the city we drove down Williamstown Road, the road that leads to home, the road I would always get slightly disappointed about seeing because it meant we were right around the block from home, so I'd have to stop holding your hand on my leg, or stop snuggling my head into your arm, it meant that we would no longer be alone side my side in the safe and private little bubble that was your car. Fuck did I take those moments for granted. I mean the disappointment was there, but I knew once we went inside I could still come distract you while you were gaming, or you'd eventually come upstairs and cuddle up to me in the bed... the disappointment was always only ever fleeting. But now, fuck Ali, now I'd give anything for more of those simple but tender moments driving home in your car.

It was so hard driving by so many all too familiar places, places I had come to call home over the past 5 years, places that held so many memories of you and I together. Everyone else in the car with me was so oblivious to the anguish these seemingly trivial things were causing me.

As the night went on it only got harder, not only was everyone in the group coupled, but we were also at a bingo rave, it was so exactly like the one you and I went to together, we were so happy that night, we laughed and sang and danced, a night to remember from yet another event I'd happened to stumble across and organized for us.

My mind kept switching between replaying bittersweet memories of us, and thinking of how much I want to tell you about all the funny or wild moments of the night. I still yearn for you to be the one person I tell everything to. I miss being each others' human diaries.

The more we ventured around the city after bingo, the more I found you everywhere I looked. This entire state is stained with the image of you and our love. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. I contemplated getting in an uber and just showing up at your house. I know I'd have to call you to not seem like a psycho, but honestly the temptation to just show up and let myself in to your room was insane. If it weren't for the fact that that would make me seem psycho I would have done it.

I know that house like the back of my hand. I know the code to the key lockbox on the fence by the bins is your and Serkan's birthdates, I know how to get through the door without letting it make a sound, I know what spot of the floor on the landing at the top of the stairs makes the squeaky noise, I could find my way into bed beside you even if I were completely blind... your room... our room... the mattress we bought together...

I'm so scared that you're lying about having shifts this weekend. That the truth is you never had work today, you just didn't want to pick me up from the airport, and you don't really have work tomorrow, you just don't want to see me. The idea of that kills me. I keep questioning whether or not I should ask annè for coffee in the morning, I would love to see her, but also, I wish I could know the definitive truth.

I can't imagine how I'd be if the truth were that you're avoiding me, and you're infact dating someone else, Hollie maybe... fuck why could she not have another name. You used to call me by my full name all the time. You would smile that beautiful playful smile and call me out by saying "Madison Holly"... but now it feels wrong.

If I do see you tomorrow I hope I hold it together. I want to stay cool and collected, give the illusion that I'm doing great... I mean its half the truth, I'm in my owm house, I'm finally finished with uni, I have 3 jobs, I've got a pretty bustling social life, I'm planning a Europe trip, I'm eating and looking healthier... even Nat who hadn't seen me in a long while before tonight and the first thing she said was how good I looked having lost the relationship comfort weight.

I want you to see me and be surprised and impressed and jealous. I want to be everything you want but can non longer have. But who am I fucking kidding, I would explode into a panic attack heap if you were to so much as tell me you miss me.

I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU ALI. I'VE NEVER STOPPED. I WISH I COULD. BUT YOU'RE MY PERSON.

hi! can you give me your hottest, dirtiest, filthiest bottom harry fics?

Hiya!! Yes I can! ^-^

Now there are 41 different fics under this list, so it’s quite long! Obviously what people find dirty/filthy can be a large range, so if you ever want to narrow it down just send another message like ‘no plot’ for example :) and then I can make it more suited to your taste if this one isn’t! I hope you enjoy this though love ❤

In case no one gets to the bottom of the page I’ll say it again here too! Please make sure to stay safe and read the tags!! ❤ ❤

you're my favorite ride by louislovesharry

no summary

At Least As Deep As the Pacific Ocean (I wanna be yours) by babylouis

Louis can’t help but stop and watch him for a moment, how beautiful he looks, sprawled out on the bed, his cock red and hard against his tummy, collar snug against his neck and the bow still placed neatly in his curls to keep them back from Harry’s face.

His boy may be the most beautiful creature on the planet.

Especially tied up like this, body begging to be fucked. Begging to be destoryed.

Louis likes to push boundaries, and Harry takes what he gets. Lots of subspace Harry and fonding Louis ensues.

redder than the devil by mercutionotromeo

It's half past 9, and all Harry wants is for Louis to touch him. Preferably after a good spanking.

If you combine a lazy Saturday afternoon with a distracting, pouty Harry, you'll end up with Louis spanking his baby over his knee in the middle of a paused FIFA match.

Pretty please, take care of me ? by kurtcobain

Louis is stressed. Harry wants to help.

Step into the Light by Smolbeanandhisqween

Harry is on the set of his new music video "Lights Up". His husband, Louis, is watching him film the video. He gets jealous of all of the people touching Harry and teaches him a lesson.

Destroy Me, King by stylinsexualxo

After SNL, jealous Louis has a little surprise for Harry when he arrives home.

Can We Pretend (honestly reality bores me) by SadaVeniren

He felt Louis chuckle. “Dreaming of being my supportive, no-name boyfriend again?”

“Always,” Harry whispered. It was true. After all this time together there was no point in hiding any of his fantasies from Louis, no matter how innocent they were. So Louis was well aware of Harry’s desire to be anonymous sometimes - the “no-name” as Louis called him - loyal, a constant presence at Louis’ side.

aka Harry comes and supports Louis at his Scala concert

Let Me Be Good For You by onlyhuman for haroldtbh

His distress over the bun is nothing compared to the thrill Louis feels shoot up his spine at the outfit Harry’s donned. He’s changed into leather jeans that cling to his legs, hugging his thighs snugly. On top of it, a floaty, black sheer shirt is contouring his frame, doing absolutely nothing to hide his puffy nipples or the endless array of tattoos scattered across his torso. It’s Louis’ favourite outfit in the entire world.

Or, Niall's only birthday wish is to go clubbing with his boys in Vegas. Harry ruins it all by wearing that god forsaken black sheer shirt.

You Like Playing Games by orphan_account

Louis knows Harry likes to flirt and tease. Louis knows that he doesn’t particularly like when Harry flirts and teases. Louis knows that Harry knows that Louis doesn’t particularly like it.

But what Louis doesn’t quite know is why, despite that, Harry’s decided to grind against 5 Seconds of Summer’s Luke Hemmings during “Teenage Dirtbag” in the last show in Melbourne.

Basically pure smut.

Do Not Disturb (kiss me beneath the milky twilight) by SadaVeniren

“I was talking with Nick a couple months back and he was saying how our sex life seemed boring and we’d need to keep doing new and interesting things to keep it exciting or else we’d become boring and heterosexual and I defended us of course but then work picked up and we started living off of studio handjobs and missionary position sex in the dark and so I panicked. I googled BDSM and after looking into it I really want to try some of it because I think we’d enjoy it but we just don’t have the time.”

aka Harry doesn't want to become a boring old married couple a year into their relationship and tries to spice up their sex life.

Forgetting Frisco by iwillpaintasongforlou

Harry probably knew when he decided to wear that goddamn sheer shirt onstage in Toronto that it was going to drive Louis absolutely insane with want. He probably didn't know that Louis was going to proceed to fuck him so good he had flashbacks for years to come just like Frisco, but then again, you won't hear him complaining.

(Basically 6k of Louis worshipping Harry's body and doing it all in front of a mirror so Harry can worship, too.)

Mon Petit by coffinofachimera

Harry wears the 'Mon Petit' sweater while Louis records them on their private

falling for you, i can't keep away by hegotthedagger plane

Harry wants Louis really bad and Louis might want him just as much.

Always In My Heart by sweaterpawstyles

The tweet itself was not startling at all. Harry saw people retweet it nearly every day for years now. It always made him smile to see how many people had retweeting Louis showing his love for Harry on that day.

What was startling was underneath where the fan had retweeted it, Harry saw the small number 1M written on it.

Harry froze, completely unable to move anything in his body. He knew Louis had the second most retweeted tweet of all time, but it reached a million retweets. One million people believed in Louis' love for Harry. Or AIMH hits 1 million & facetime sex ensues

You and Me by louisgrindsonharry

Harry and Louis have dabbled in the idea of BDSM but Harry finally wants to take it farther and Louis has to figure out how to take care of his boy.

they shake, you conquer (and I'm left to their devices) by butidontreallycare

smut. a little love for Harry's thighs, but mostly just smut. I am not ashamed

Daddy Came Home by RuinedBy5Guys

“You got yourself off.” He says quietly, his eyes locked on Harry’s. Harry’s face flushes and he tries to cover it, shoving himself towards Louis. He drops to his knees, leaning close between his husbands spread thighs. He puts his hands on his dress pants, carefully feeling the material at his knees.

“How did you know?” He asks quietly. Louis drops his face, grabbing over Harry’s hands with his own. Harry lowers his gaze, staring at the carpet underneath him.

“You were asleep. You always get tired after an orgasm. Not to mention how flushed you are.” He says quietly, raking his eyes over Harry’s body. Harry glances up at him, his actions becoming more clear to him now that Louis was home.

“I’m sorry.” He whispers, dropping his eyes again.

“What was that?” Louis snaps, reaching to bring Harry’s face up again. Harry gulps, shuffling closer on his knees, the joints aching already.

“I’m sorry, Daddy.” Harry says, his green eyes locked on Louis’ blue ones. Louis smiles slightly, stroking his fingers over his husbands cheeks softly.

“Just gonna have to spank you now, aren’t I?”

OR... Harry teases and Daddy punishes him in the best ways possible

take me into your loving arms by blankiehxrry

twas the night of the brit awards

I Wanna Do What Bunnies Do With You by MoreThanTonight

“Lou.. Not here?” Harry pulled off with a gasp. “There are people in the next room. What if they hear us?“

“Then I guess you’ll just have to be quiet, won’t you, love?” Louis winked.

It's Harry's birthday and Louis wants to make it a birthday he won't forget. Louis is an art student, Harry is his boyfriend and muse.

if they find out, will it all go wrong? by blankiehxrry

madison square garden shenanigans

Happy Birthday by sleepingalone

“You wanna use that right now?” he asked incredulously, wondering how horny Louis must be. They had just fucked a few hours ago, before falling asleep. Surely he didn’t want to use it already.

“You said we had to wait till my birthday, and it’s my birthday,” Louis said cheekily, throwing Harry a small grin. Harry groaned into the pillow, burying his head in it.

“But I’m tired, Lou. I need my beauty rest.”

“I already undid the packaging,” Louis whined. “Please, can we just do it real quick? It would really make my day. My birthday,” he added. “You can go to sleep afterwards, Sleeping Beauty.”

Louis just really wants to use his new vibrating butt plug on Harry and turn him into a broken mess.

I Knew Right From the Beginning That You Would End Up Winning by aalexandravictoriaa

"I remember the first day I met you," Louis says, using his thumbs to make Harry open up to him even more. "I remember wanting to take you right there on the fucking street. I wanted to bend you over and bury myself in you over and over again. I couldn't then, but I'm going to now, baby. First with my tongue, then with my cock."

Harry is Louis' favorite camboy and Louis becomes his Daddy.

In Motion by FictitiousFanatisch (orphan_account)

They'd only talked about it once a few weeks ago. Harry always liked it when Louis was in control and he said there was something about being denied constantly that made him even more turned on.

It's a lazy day and Harry wants Louis to edge him. (That's literally it.)

I'm Gonna Love You (Until You Hate me) by sweaterpawstyles

As if reading his mind, Louis glanced over his glasses at Harry, presumably because Harry didn't reply to his statement earlier.

"I decided to get my glasses out again," he chuckled, winking at Harry. "Do you like them?"

Harry felt his face heat up. No, he didn't just like them. He fucking loved them and wanted to ride Louis and call him daddy while he wore them. But he didn't want to just tell Louis this.

Louis wears glasses and Harry doesn't like to be teased

I have often prayed for an angel by orphan_account

“Daddy,” he whines, voice already growing high in pitch. “Can I? Please?” “Of course angel,” Louis whispers fondly, hand tangling in Harry’s hair as he brushes it back. He loves Harry’s long strands, maybe even more than Harry does himself. “You look so beautiful on your knees like that, so eager to suck my cock.” “Mhm,” Harry hums, already licking at Louis’ slit. He begins to suckle softly at the head, peering up at Louis with wide eyes. The angel wings stretch on either side of him, and it’s so obscene, how filthy the act they’re doing is in contrast to the white feathers adorning Harry’s back. “Love your cock Daddy.” Or, the one in which Louis fucks Harry in the VS wings after he wears them onstage.

down and dirty, you're loving me so loud by orphan_account

Harry's finally twenty and there's a few things he wants.

feels so good getting what i want. by stylescantstop

Harry is a slutty yoga teacher with his sights set on Louis and Louis wants to pull that long hair of his while he fucks him really hard from behind.

Empyrean, You Fool by becauseitrhymes

Louis only realized it was actually happening once the reality of getting to carry boxes to his new flat settled in. He’d moved out of his parent’s just two days prior, with a stomach full of butterflies and no knowledge of how to do anything remotely adult, like, at all.

He’s only twenty-three years old, too, and he thinks he’s done pretty well for such a young age, considering he’s bought a flat with his money and had driven his car to get there and hadn’t cried (much) when leaving his parents. All in all, Louis thinks it’s pretty cool.

And then he’s sitting on his couch watching football in his lounge in his flat and hell yeah, it’s pretty cool.

AU where Louis moves next door to Harry, Louis falls in love with Harry, sex ensues.

Love Me Like You Do by sweaterpawstyles

Of all of the things Louis had imagined, never did he expect to become a chief editor for a magazine and to date the world-famous model Harry Styles. But he certainly never imagined one day that he would be anxiously awaiting a phone call from the top floor of an office building to tell the Harry Styles to get himself dolled up and ready to wait for his Daddy to come home before he got fucked into the mattress.

Harry is a famous model and Louis is a quiet writer who may or may not be his Dom

A Hard Day's Work by louisruinedlife (orphan_account)

A bad day at work for Harry usually means turning in early. A bad day at work for Louis leads to something else entirely.

*Can be read as a stand alone.

the big idea by orphan_account

University students Harry and Zayn are filming a prank for YouTube that requires Harry to walk around campus asking random men if he could suck their dick. One of the guys, Louis, who agrees to such offer is too attractive for Harry to pass down.

He doesn't think its much of a prank anymore after that.

throw me in the deep end, watch me drown by orphan_account

“That's why you were late, eh?” he teases as Harry frantically tries to hide the dildos and the collar in the drawer. “Having too much fun to think about good ole Louis?”

“You were having fun too,” Harry replies weakly. Louis honestly has never seen a person be in such a shade of red.

“Yeah, but my fun didn't involve colourful dildos and nipple clamps.”

or the one where louis really needs to pass his a-levels and harry is his tutor who doesn’t really own a dog.

Give It To Me (I'm Worth It) by sweaterpawstyles

"Who the hell puts lube packets in their sock?"

"A boy who wanted to get fucked in the locker room by his daddy," Harry said innocently. "I have my good intentions, Lou."

Louis can't resist Harry in the red shorts that he wore during the James Corden skit. Featuring locker room sex.

don't let nobody touch it (unless that somebody's me) by stylescantstop

written for this prompt:

"louis knows Harry gets handsy when he's drunk, but that doesn't stop him from showing harry who he belongs to."

or the one where harry dances with other men and a jealous louis reminds him he's the only one who can make him come completely apart.

causing trouble up in hotel rooms (baby, I'm perfect) by felixandtae

A fan threw a Green Bay Packers crop top on stage and Harry kept it. We all know what happened after that.

sweet like cinnamon by brainwaves for SuburbanWarrior

It all started with bumping into Louis at Gemma’s mate’s wedding. Well, maybe it really started with Harry making heart eyes at the boy in jersey number 17 all those years ago. Now all he can think about is getting into Louis’ pants and maybe staying there for a really, really long time.

Or the one where Harry calls Louis daddy and it all spirals out of control from there.

Fulfilling Your Needs by unmeshed

“You want to be messy, baby? Filled with Daddy’s come? So much that you can barely hold it all in?"

Harry nods softly and Louis leans in to kiss him on the lips with a smile. “Want Daddy to plug you up after? Keep it inside of you all day?"

“Lou,” Harry whines, softly rubbing himself against his boyfriend, biting down on Louis’ bottom lip before he deepens the kiss, sneaking his tongue inside.

Louis’ll be damned if he can’t make Harry’s dreams come true.

Louis buys Harry an ejaculating dildo because Harry wants to feel full.

Like a Kitten by peaceloveandlarry

"Erm, I, uh, well, I think... I think you're really pretty, and I, um, I want to fuck you- I mean! Oh god. I- I want to go out? Yea! I want to go out."

Or Harry likes to wear kitten ears, and Louis happens to think Harry looks nice with them.

into another serotonin overflow by mercutionotromeo

Harry's the yearbook photographer who's been assigned to take pictures of Louis, the new captain of the football team. Harry's got a massive, obvious crush on Louis and somehow, Louis feels the same way.

Sweet first time sex wherein Harry's adorably awkward, Louis is achingly cool, and Harry rides Louis wearing his jersey.

need a little sweetness in my life by mercutionotromeo

Harry's always liked feeling desperate and small when Louis touches him, but when he sucks Harry off...it’s fucking otherworldly. Desperate’s not really the word at that point - it’s helpless. Like… like the fucking world could stop spinning and Harry wouldn’t be able to do anything about it until Louis finished him off with his lips and his tongue.

Or, Harry and Louis go to university together. Harry really likes it when Louis sucks him off, and Louis really likes it when Harry calls him Daddy.

(Sequel to "into another serotonin overflow")

Cheeky Princess by Noelle1224

Harry and panties. What more is there to explain?

I'm Tired Of Using Technology, I Need You Right In Front Of Me by Phillipa19

Louis goes away on yet another business trip, but when he stops calling Harry to check in, Harry decides to take matters into his own hands.

OR- Louis is Harry's sugardaddy who has gone away on business and Harry feels neglected. Louis is possessive and gets a camera installed in their bedroom so he can check up on Harry, so Harry decides to use the camera to his advantage.

Got A Lot You Wanna Show Off Baby by Phillipa19

Louis had been in meetings all day, he should have known that Harry wouldn't be ignored for much longer.

-OR-

Louis is Harry's sugardaddy and his younger boyfriend is definitely not happy being ignored whilst Louis holds meetings in his home office. There may also be Harry in lacy knickers involved.

As always please make sure to stay safe and read the tags!! ❤ ❤

Alonso says Aston Martin would 'prefer dry conditions' despite topping the timesheets in rain-affected FP2 in Melbourne

Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin continued to turn heads with their performance on the first day of running in Melbourne, as the Spaniard topped the timesheets in a rain-hampered second practice session for the Australian Grand Prix. Alonso had started the day by setting the fourth quickest time in the first practice session – 0.527s off the pace of Max Verstappen – but with a time of 1m 18.887s, the Spaniard set the fastest lap of FP2 right before the rain hit the Albert Park Circuit, to lead Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, in second, by 0.445s. FP2: Alonso fastest for Aston Martin before rain falls on Albert Park When asked to reflect on his first day of running Melbourne, Alonso replied: “It was good. I think in FP1, we concentrated on some test items that we wanted to tick the box [on] and then in FP2... it was just a 20-minute [dry] session only. “So, still some jobs to do tomorrow, especially on the tyres into the race, on long runs that we were obviously missing today. But so far, I think the car seems to behave well, so let’s see tomorrow.” This feature is currently not available because you need to provide consent to functional cookies.

However, the two-time world champion made it clear he was hoping for drier conditions over the weekend. READ MORE: Hamilton and Russell give verdict on where Mercedes can qualify after disrupted opening day in Melbourne “I think the forecast is dry, so I think ideally we will prefer dry conditions because we’ve only driven this car in dry conditions in Jeddah and in Bahrain,” said Alonso, the 2006 Australian Grand Prix winner. “A dry race will be welcome from our side, but I think we should be ready for all conditions.” On the other side of the Aston Martin garage, Alonso’s team mate Lance Stroll set the 10th fastest lap time of FP1, before finishing down in 16th in the second practice session, although the Canadian was still pleased with the performance of his AMR23. Stroll was happy with Aston Martin's performance on day one in Australia “It was a lot of fun,” said Stroll when asked how it felt driving at the Albert Park Circuit. “A great track to drive in. This morning we didn’t get the laps in but then I didn’t get a chance, not many people got the chance, to put the softs on with the rain. “So, one of those sessions, just limited with rain. But tomorrow doesn’t look like it’s going to rain, but you never know here in Melbourne. The car is feeling good, so looking forward to tomorrow.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

I’m not posting this trying to say “woe is me” or because I’m looking for sympathy, because I’m not. I’m posting because I need to share and vent. I am finally at a place where I can talk about what’s happened.

The past two years have been hell. The darkest time of my life. And I’m not talking about COVID, although that has played an indirect part.

Everything started in January 2020.

My step father almost lost his life when the truck he was driving caught fire. He only just got out. Everything in the truck was lost. He had the clothes on his back, his thongs and his phone. He was two states away and couldn’t even get a flight home because his ID was in the truck.

Then a week later I’m in town doing some chopping when my best friend calls me. HUGE RED FLAG, she never calls unless it’s an emergency and fuck it was a big one. She’d just found out her boyfriend was cheating on her and when she confronted him and ended the relationship he decided it would be a fantastic idea to threaten her and her fathers lives. She was a wreck. An emergency AVO was put in place but she didn’t sleep for days. We’re from a small town, he lives less than 2km away.

Then March, COVID. The whole country went into lockdown. To be honest I was glad for a break. I’d worked non stop for the past six months building up my business and was close to burning out. Little did we know it was the first of six lockdowns in Victoria to try and stop the spread.

By the time April came I was bored out of my mind. I’d taken up so many new hobbies try try and pass the time that I could open up a small $2 shop. End of April by step fathers Mum passed away. Now, I’ve never liked the woman. She was rude, entitled, treated everyone around her like crap. Neglected my step father when he was a child because he was a male and did so much emotional trauma to my step fathers youngest sister that she can’t even live on her own. I didn’t really shed a tear over heat death but I was hurt for his family.

May 20st is a day I won’t ever forget. Mum got a call from my aunt’s, her best friend, eldest daughter telling her she has passed away during the night. I was in shock. This is the first time I’d experienced the loss of a loved one and I didn’t know how to process it. Then nine days later, May 29th, I got a call from Dad. My nan had had a heart attack and I needed to get to the Austin. I raced to Melbourne but it was too late. She was done. I was devastated. I was extremely close with Nan. My whole family was.

We said goodbye on June 5th. Her service was beautiful. Luckily the number limits had been eased a few days before so we didn’t have to exclude anyone. I will never forget seeing my Pop crying over her casket. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen him cry. This man is a veteran, he survived the London bombings. He’s tough and he was destroyed. They were together for over 65 years.

I thought, hoped, that nothing else would happen because I honestly didn’t think I could cope with anymore bad news but it came anyway. June 14th my uncle, nans son, was diagnosed with cancer… and it was terminal. Then a week later my cousin, his daughter, calls me from hospital. She’s just as an ectopic pregnancy, after 11 years of trying she finally falls pregnant then looses it. It’s like the universe has cursed my family. I was done.

July, August and most of September passed with no events. I turned 29, had an entire Woolies Mud Cake to myself, went back to work, went back into lockdown. All was good.

Then September 26th happened and my whole world stood still. I get a call from my brother at 7am. Mums at the Austin hospital, they’re prepping her for emergency brain surgery. She has a brain infection. I couldn’t put two words together. The day was spent at my brothers, curled up with him on the couch under his wife’s amazing weighted blanket while we waited yo hear if one of the most important people in our life was still with us. All we wanted to do was be at the hospital but we couldn’t because of COVID restrictions. While we understood why they were in place we wanted to scream.

After five long days of being in a coma Mum woke up but she wasn’t the same. She has a stroke while in surgery that left her right side temporarily paralysed. After an additional emergency surgery and 8 weeks in hospital where she relearn so many basic thing like walking and talking Mum came home.

I thought everything was behind us and we could start to move on but no, it got worse. I finally realised that a close family member, someone I though lived me had been manipulating and abusing me for YEARS. I had to leave my home. And quickly. I just up an left. Talking my two cats and an bag of clothes.

I was in the darkest place I’ve ever been. I was borderline suicidal. I moved in with Dad and Pop. I did get all of my stuff about a week late but when I got home to Dad’s I had a panic attack, the first one I’ve ever had, because I realised my life was never going to be the same again and I didn’t know how to process it.

Christmas was hard. Not only was it the first time seeing Mum since she got home and the full impact of what happened to her hit home, she almost died TWICE, but I also had to be around the person that abused me.

2021 arrived and I was overjoyed to fuck the worst year of my life off. I had no idea it wasn’t over.

January was amazing. I spent time with family, escaped to our cabin at Echuca. I had two whole weeks of pure peace.

February was hard for me. I had to make the decision to close my business. With everything I had gone through in the past 12 months and COVID Lockdowns I just couldn’t do it anymore. I left the industry completely.

In March my uncle passed. This man was everyone’s favourite uncle. He was so full of life and he was gone. I will never forget seeing his casket and thinking “fuck, it’s perfect” a custom Holden paint job. This man loved his Holden’s. He even requested everyone wear red or Holden shirt to the funeral. Knowing that his death was coming allowed him to plan for everything.

April, May and June were OK, great even. I started seeing a therapist and was finally able to process everything from 2020.

Then everything changed, for the worst.

My health, both physical and mental, took a nosedive. I had put on close to 30kgs in three months and nothing I did could shift it. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, borderline PTSD and insomnia. Went on medication that made me feel like a zombie for weeks. And in all of that I turned 30. What was supposed to be a fun time, something I was looking forward to, was overshadowed by everything going on as well as yet another lockdown. I was at my limit. I had a complete emotional and mental breakdown.

My best friend got an emergency travel permit and raced to Melbourne. She stayed with me for weeks. There were days I couldn’t even leave my bed. Those around me were terrified. My dad even considered talking long service leave to stay home with me but I wouldn’t let him.

Then something happened, I discovered writing and even though I was stuck in the 6th COVID Lockdown, my mental health was fucked and I was starting to have health problems from my sudden weight gain, everything started to get better.

I started writing because I was bored and needed to find something to do with my time that wasn’t sleeping but it turned into something much more. It became my outlet to help continue to process my trauma. I started to finally, finally feel like myself again, after almost two years of hell and months being a shell. Writing has helped me in a way my loved ones and doctors couldn’t.

I have found something that I look forward to doing. Something that I’m considering going back to Uni to pursue further. I still have so much to process, so much healing to do but I can confidently say… I’m OK. I’m finally OK

I can’t wait to see what 2022 brings. For the first time in so long, I’m hopeful for my future.

For the first time in almost two years, I’m happy.

#munstysmind #thank you
