Ride 760: Kiji, flying
Pag 1
The MTB Emperor is taking part in the road racing Inter High!!
Pag 2
1: As expected!!
2: The groups from Kyushu, like Fukuoka or Kumamoto are in quiet places close to the course and the main office
3: and close to the water supplies too!!
4: Well, they're from here after all
5: On the other hand, we're towards the end where there's so much noise
6: And above everything, they clearly.... forgot
Pag 3
1: only our tent and they added it in a hurry, fou!!
Pag 4
1: Hmm, that could be
Is it because it's our debut? That's discrimination!!
2: It's handwritten!!
And it's even spelled wrong!!
3: In this kind of situations, you can't do anything even if you get so worked up about it, Ichifuji-kun
Isn't it enough that we have a roof?
Pag 5
2: Should I fix that writing with magic later?
3: Sonomoto-san!!
4: The place is a problem too!!
We're close to where they're holding the bicycles exhibition, so there's a lot of people passing by and they can see us since we have no tent
5: And when we're changing clothes? We use the bath towel like this, that's what they do on elementary schools' pools!! Fou!!
6: During MTB races you either do it in a car or in the wild
It's not like the management just conveniently forgot about us, either
Pag 6
1: But the truth is that we're being treated unequally....?
What about you, Kaida!? What do you think!?
Should we go tho the management tent and say a word to them now? Fou!!
3: I've never got any results in MTB and never participated in the Inter High, so for me it's sufficient enough that I'm able to participate in the road racing Inter High
4: Stuff like the tent aren't important
Ugh.....!! You're kidding, I have zero supporters in this situation!!
Pag 7
1: And isn't it nice to have good ventilation?
2: And also... if you have to say something to the management
Don't you think it would be more persuasive
3: if we first ran in the race
4: and brought results?
Pag 8
1: If we brought results.....!!
2: Fou!! (Yessir)
Now, if you're ready
3: Should we all go for a trial run?
Fou!!
Yeah!!
Yes!!
Pag 9
2: Excuse me!
This is a pedestrians crossing!
Pag 10
4: Hello
Are you maybe? A kid from here?
How.....
5: do you stand on the bike like that?
Pag 11
1: Are you interested in bikes?
Even though your feet aren't connected to the ground, you're still in one place
2: Do you want to try?
4: I guess you won't be able to do it right away, but this is the theory
5: Bikes have a center
I'm standing there
6: A center?
7: It's different depending on the model, but a little before the saddle there's the center point of the bike
8: The technique is that you feel for it, find your balance, and then you find your stability if you properly position your body
Pag 12
1: It's called “standing”
Ohhhh...!!
2: Furthermore, if you can put your center of gravity firmly there
4: you can also let go of your hands while standing still, yon
Amazing.....!!
5: Amazing, amazing..!!
6: Yes yes, that's right, Kiji-san is amazing
Why does this guy looks so self-important
7: What's the heaviest thing on a bike?
Pag 13
1: Uh... uhm... the helmet?
3: It's your body
4: When riding a bike, the most important thing is to be conscious of where we put this “body”*, yon
Ah, when you're holding a bucket, if you're holding it with one hand you stagger, right?
(*NdT.: written as “heavy object”)
5: It's the same thing
6: “Weight” is power, yon
Ehh?
Pag 14
1: When you stop thinking “that's obvious”, “I know that”
2: That's when it's over for you
3: Discovery lies in common sense
4: The essential thing when handling a bike.... remember
5: is the “load” and the “unloading” to get ahead of it!!
Pag 15
1: Maybe it's faster if I show you?
2: Ah, that's good
Look at that fence
3: The movement of the “load”, and the “unloading”... and....
Use the same method as when you jump to take a picture at the beach
5: I'll jump over that fence!!
Pag 16
1: No, isn't it better to stop!? Onii-chan!!
2: You'll run into it!!
Just look, boy
3: Hayaaaa
That guy
4: is a guy who jumps over common sense!!
Yaaaaa
Pag 17
2: Don't miss all the multiple techniques he uses in an instant!!
Fou!!
He looks so self-important
3: First, he moves his body back and so he unload the weight from the front wheel
6: “Unloading”!!
Pag 18
1: He's really going to cras-
He's not!!
2: Then, he lowers his body's center of gravity for a moment
3: Then he stretches!!
And pulls the frame!!
5: He's not high enough!!
This is the moment when you jump when taking pictures!!
6: Pull up
7: your knees
The technique of skillfully using your “load” to jump over obstacles
Pag 19
1: is called “bunny hop”!!
Pag 20
1: There are people who have mastered the technique and can do it, but it's at most 30cm.... but Kiji-san
2: can jump 80cm!!
3: Who's that guy!
Did you see that just now
4: He jumped that fence with a road racer
His bike floated!?
The fence!?
5: I've never seen something like that
The jerseys' of the guys who are with him say “Gunma”....!!
6: It was ama.... amazing....
That.... if I practice... will I be able to do it too one day?
Of course
Pag 21
1: If you fall a lot, and skin your knees a lot, and eat a lot....
2: Okay?
3: Well now, since we're participating in the Inter High, come see us!!
4: I'll cheer for you...!!
Thank you!
5: The cyclists will soon gather at the starting line!!

Fuck It Friday 🥛
I was tagged by @rainbow-nerdss @daffi-990 and @disasterbuckdiaz thank you mwuah 💛
Let me put the fuck into Fuck It Friday and share this snippet from the donation smut, which – though it still needs some heavy editing – I will try to post it this weekend (or the next, if time gets away from me).
“E-Eddie?”
“I’m here.” Eddie sounded stoic and restrained and Buck wondered if he was trying to hold back a laugh or a shout. “So you want me to talk you through your… donation?”
It was stupid. It was stupid. Oh, it was so so stupid.
“I uh yes. That’s e-exactly what— and I couldn’t call anyone else and I’m sorry, I know it’s too much and y-you don’t want to and I—”
“Woah Buck, relax. It’s okay.” Eddie cut his ramble off with the tone he usually reserved to placate panicking victims on more difficult calls.
Was Buck's complete distress that evident?
“It is?” He blinked slowly.
“Yeah it’s… yeah, I’ll do it.”
“T-thank you I— but Eddie?” Buck prompted quietly, waiting for an answer to make sure Eddie was really listening before he’d continue.
“Yeah?”
“No questions asked.” Buck said seriously, because he was pent up and suffering, but it was still not the time to tell Eddie about his not-so-much-a-crush-more-like-down-bad-head-over-heels-in-love kind of feelings, so it was better to keep this strictly on a technical level.
“No questions asked.” Eddie repeated back slowly and Buck released a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “Alright. So, how do you wanna do this?”
You can find a short continuation of this snippet here.

oc questionnaire tag
here i am, trying my best to catch up on tag games 😭😭 i have no idea who tagged me in this one anymore because this went around so long ago, and after scrolling through three months worth of notifications, i don't know if i found everyone who tagged me, but i do 100% remember @stargazer-sims @dandylion240 & @jonquilyst tagging me!
BASICALLY thank you so much to everyone who tagged me, and i'm so sorry if i missed acknowledging you here because i am pretty sure i did miss folks! but anyway, i'll tag in return:
@windermeresimblr @slightly-ludic @nikatyler @swallowprettybird @changingplumbob @vercosims @sertrallne @nectar-cellar @sparkiekong @papermint-airplane
NAME: bae yunha (배윤하)
NICKNAMES: yun, yunie, princess pear (배공주) 🍐
bonus fact: princess pear is spoofing off her name and the translation of princess peach (피치공주), who is yunha's main/ favorite character in mario kart! as for the name thing, yunha's last name doesn't mean pear, but the word for pear is pronounced and spelled the same exact way as her last name (배). so,,, the nickname is kind of princess bae, as in princess bae yunha, but it's also princess pear at the same time lol
GENDER: cis female
STAR SIGN: pisces ♓
HEIGHT: 5'5"
ORIENTATION: bisexual
NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: korean 🇰🇷
FAVORITE FRUIT: peach 🍑
FAVORITE SEASON: winter 🎄
FAVORITE FLOWER: orchids 💜
FAVORITE SCENT: oddly specific but miss dior blooming bouquet perfume (it's her favorite perfume but she rations it out in the tiniest of portions because it's $$$$$) 💟
COFFEE, TEA, or HOT CHOCOLATE: all of the above! yunha doesn't discriminate against liquids, she just likes them in different contexts. she drinks coffee out of the house at coffee shops, tea at home (unless it's boba, at which point she'll buy it at a boba shop), and hot chocolate during winter, mostly if it's snowing ☕
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 10 😴 she likes her beauty sleep!
DOGS or CATS: cats! she likes both, but she prefers cats 🤍
DREAM TRIP: paris and/or france more generally! she's aware it's not, like, the romanticized place it's portrayed as in media, but she wants to go to see the museums and architecture, check out the cafes, and walk around the parks and whatnot
NUMBER OF BLANKETS: just one! she's always slept on the floor on a futon, and in her opinion, it's a bit much to have too many blankets when you're doing that because the blankets aren't really anchored onto anything, so if you have more than one, they start getting tangled and crawling off the mattress in multiple directions
RANDOM FACT: she has an uncanny ability to solve puzzles! she's the girlie you give the "solve the maze without lifting your pen off the paper" challenges, and she's proud to say she has never looked up a walkthrough for games like portal or the stone matching mini-games in skyrim 👑 part of the magic is definitely stubbornness btw. she will stare at the puzzle until it's either solved or the universe decays into oblivion, one or the other! she is otherwise not competitive, though; that attitude is quite literally reserved only for puzzles

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH BABWNB IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! <3<3 (sorry I just had to shout it out somewhere after seeing your recent asks about it😅)
i have also been working on the next chapter of building a boat with no blueprints!!! (3 guesses on what my holiday project is for this year lol)
here is a lil snippet!
“Good,” Obi-Wan decides, relaxing slowly. That sounds right. That sounds good. “He is heavier as well, I’ve noticed that too.”
Crys’ mouth twitches at the corner. “Yes, General, you have been doing a good job feeding him as well.”
If Obi-Wan were twenty years younger and still prone to egotistical displays of self-satisfaction, he’d preen at these words. As it is, he only moves his hand from his hip to stroke through the youngling’s hair, flattening an errant piece of blonde. “Well, truly, the praise should go to Anakin—and perhaps Captain Rex, who has been such a good sport about Anakin pilfering his pudding cups.”
Anakin cranes his head around to look at him with a very serious expression painted across his small features. “I’d never steal food from you, Obi,” he promises. “Never. You need it.”
“Do you know what, Ani’ika,” Crys says, “I have been telling him that for years. Perhaps your buir will listen to you.”
“I believe this is Anakin’s medical appointment,” Obi-Wan says lightly, dropping both hands back onto the youngling’s shoulders, thumb brushing along the raised, pink scar of the incision at the back of his neck. “I am here only in camaraderie.”
“And in a very clever attempt to avoid a Council meeting, no?” Crys asks, turning away to pick up a device from a small table. “Commander Cody has requested that I inform him the moment that this check-in concludes so that he may, ah. Well, the word ambush was used, sir.”
“Was the word mutiny tossed around as well?” Obi-Wan replies dryly. The commander will, of course, get his wish. He’s very stubborn in that way. But Obi-Wan was going to eventually attend that meeting anyway, and he would like that on record.

Ohh, I also recently got this acryllic stand featuring this Fairy Tale (Red Riding Hood and the Wolf) version of Undead Unluck's Andy and Izumo Fuuko!
This is actually from a Weekly Shonen Jump blindbag acryllic stands collection that featured the cover illustrations from Weekly Shonen Jump 21-22 (2021), which was released... last year, I think? This collection is based on, you guessed it, fairy tales. You had, for example, Luffy dressed as Aladdin, Roboco as Snow White, etc, etc. These were also released in "mini" variants, but I suppose those were lottery or subscriptions related...? And are much smaller than these.
ANYWAY, I basically fell in love with this one. Especially since these are the same outfits or versions of Andy and Fuuko that were featured in Ch 39's color cover (which, instead, happens to be one of my fave color covers of the series so far...) and MAN, do I love a nice werewolf design (and it fits Andy SO WELL, I CAN'T-) And Fuuko as Red Riding Hood is nice.
That being said, GOSH, I WISH there were WSJ-related stuff like these AGES ago! There's neat older thematic cover illustrations variants from WSJ featuring their older series and I feel they would have looked SO cool in physical merch like this? Especially when I am more familiar with some of their older series that have finished in the past few years :').
Here it is with my other couple of acryllic stands of Mage (I wish he had more meat on his bones, but this was from those CG profiles from the Dandevi PSVita game) and MeiRitsu (this one actually featuring art by @/kuroztonbi)
