#im about halfway through season 2

[frankencanon]

Me, before watching season 2 of Fumetsu no Anata e: I don't understand why people care so much about this "Bon" guy... Look at his ridiculous outfit and his stupid mustache... What on earth do people see in him?

Me, now: I love him so much I would die for him I miss his old stupid outfit and his dumb little mustache... I would do anything for him... 💜

happy (slightly belated) 4 years to amphibia I think it's time we talk about how severely the theme song slaps

#amphibia #im about halfway through season 2 #good show im intrigued about where theyre gonna go with it #but the theme song could literally get me out of a coma #my bf has snapped me out of multiple panic attacks/meltdowns by playing this song for me #Youtube

important aspect of shadowgast To Me is that caleb thinks it's cute when essek's being a bitch and visa versa

#oh to have someone who listens to you bitch and reminds you it's not the end of the world #also oh to have someone who sits vigil with you when you grieve and/or get angry at your lot in life no matter how deserved it might be #also important for them. To Me #essek gets into a really tetchy terrible mood bc he bitterly misses the comforts of being rich and not having to run for his life and #caleb silently hands him a basket of green beans to snap and essek realizes halfway through said basket that he's doing it #yknow what i mean. #i think for them. when im writing or reading or thinkin about em. the biggest importantest theme is that #1. they are terrible people who are trying very hard to learn how to be good 2. they are equally matched in their terribleness and very #unimpressed with one another. unstoppable force and immovable object. north star. #where is that fic. it's called out of season. it's so good its my thesis for them

I'm finding myself becoming invested in Midge and Susie from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I think it's because it's just nandermo but make them sapphics in the 50s/60s and dial down the toxicity to like 2%

#i know im so delusional but please tell me im not the only one who thinks they should kiss #coping with watching a show my parents like by finding as much queer subtext as possible #(im only halfway through season 2 btw no spoilers pls) #i think they even just made a joke about midge being bi??? or at least bicurious #marvelous mrs maisel #ramblies

2005 French Grand Prix - Fernando Alonso (ft. Kimi Räikkönen & Michael Schumacher)(my personal post-race highlights)

+ bonus uh...whatever Michael's doing here

#i love that I now just have a collection of fernando holding up different numbers #new class lesson: 'numbers with fernando' #*also not pictured but it was very cute bcs nando held up the 5 and then it cut to flavio doing the same exact motion #OMG WAIT ALSO #it was so hilarious mark had some problem w his seat being too hot and thus burning his ass #so the commentators kept talking about his ass being in pain #and the way they phrased it made it seem like he had to retire from the race and i was like 'ah typical mark L' #hes always getting camera time/commentary but always for the wrong reasons(crashing/DNF/ass problems/etc) #anyways im now finally officially halfway through! are you guys proud of me :3 #sometimes I think im being too slow and then i have to be rational and remember im trying to watch an 8 month long season in 2-3 wks #fernando alonso #michael schumacher #renault #f1 #formula 1 #we do a little bit of f1 #2005 french gp #(2005: 10/19 races watched) #fa14

#off season [ooc] #in case you didn’t guess from the totally out of place posts I’m watching rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #which is the first time I’ve engaged with anything tmnt since I was a kid watching reruns of the 87 series and the first 2 movies #it was never my favorite thing but I enjoyed it #I mostly just started watching rottmnt out of bored curiosity and although I enjoyed the art style; the turtles’ personalities; and the 1st #episode’s plot #I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to continue b/c the episodes after that had pretty inconsequential conflicts #I was like ‘yeah this is just looney tunes with more steps’ #but I kept reading to just stick with it; it’ll get better #and so far it is! #im about halfway through the first season and nowww the important questions are finally getting asked and I’m into it #also I reaaaally hate how dirty they did splinter’s character at this point - he was a stoic but kind mentor in the movies and now he’s a #total dick - but I’ve also been assured that changes later on so I’m keeping an open mind #yeah so basically: #go ninja go ninja go

started tma and despite the pain and heartache its caused me (or maybe because of that!) i will only draw silly happy doodles

#sorry if this is out of character or anything like that! #i think im about halfway through season 2 #tma is a very long series big time investment for me #tma #tim stoker #sasha james #joeys art

This is probably largely placebo, but does anyone else’s headaches always get worse the second they take any kind of pain meds?

Mine do. It was a lot worse than it normally is just now.

#its been a rough day #not feeling myself to be honest #the only positive today has been me making it through about halfway of tma season 2 #had to cancel last minute on a friend’s dnd campaign because i thought i was starting to dissociate #he got really worried because i felt so guilty i couldnt reply to him #i still feel bad about that #i dont know whats wrong with me #i havent felt right in days #i thought it was just stress because i was behind on some stuff #but now im mostly caught up and i don’t feel any better #i started biting my nails again #hadnt done that in almost 2 months #chewed one so bad it bled all over my desk #maybe i should schedule an appointment with my psychologist #opossum speaks

could you explain the mclaren reputation era please I missed it

ok well i don't really understand it entirely so bear with me here as i fumble through this.

essentially yesterday mclaren archived (deleted?) every single one of their instagram posts (and there were Thousands) except for this kind of twist trap esque video of lando, oscar and their car with the tagline "whatever it takes" like the imagine dragons song, or perhaps a 15 year old boy posting selfies of himself in the gym.

this of course is exactly what taylor swift did however many years ago right before she dropped her reputation album, archived every single one of her instagram posts except for these three videos of a snake slithering around and i don't remember what the words were associated with it but it was foreshadowing her reputation album. this was the album that she released directly after she got a whole lot of shit for her 1989 tour, took basically 2 years off and came back with some s tier bangers about how basically she didnt really care what the media thought of her, but she was reinventing herself (remember the "im sorry, the old taylor can't come to the phone right now, why? oh! cause she's dead!" meme" but essentially, it was her comeback after awhile away.

mclaren, as we know, has not won a championship since 2008 with sir lewis hamilton. their driver line up, lando norris and oscar piastri, is the youngest pairing of drivers on the grid (lando is 24, oscar is 22) and while the 2023 season for them started off absolutely terribly (their car fucking sucked) they were able to do some major upgrades throughout the season and turned it around by the silverstone race (just under halfway through the year). from silverstone on (13 races total) mclaren finished in the top 3 nine times (with both oscar and lando on the podium at the qatar and japan races) and were consistently in the points. oscar also won the sprint race in qatar. and lando had i think 17 overtakes at the mexico race, starting 19 and ending 5th. which is kind of incredible. in a season of absolute red bull domination (lets remember that a red bull driver won ever race except for the singapore race, which carlos won with the help of lando) they were consistently challenging them and there was one time in texas (i think?) where lando almost was able to overtake max.

so yes, red bull is definitely the favored team at the moment and is coming off of quite possibly the best season they've ever had. however. mclaren have some distinct advantages going into the 2024 season:

they do not have to worry about silly season. as we know, 14 drivers have contracts ending at the end of 2024 which means the absolute mad rush to resign and offer contracts across basically every team. redbull is basically guaranteed to not resign checo and might even swap him for daniel ricciardo halfway through the season whereas lands contract with mclaren ends in 2025 and oscars ends in 2026. mclaren can spend all of their time worrying about the car and the drivers rather than who they are signing.

oscar piastri. oscar just finished his rookie season (and previously won the f2 and f3 championships and won rookie of the year this year). in terms of rookie years he had an outstanding one. people compared him to lewis hamilton's rookie year. as a refresher, lewis hamiltons rookie year was in 2007 (also at mclaren) and he won his first championship in 2008. oscar is the first rookie since lewis hamilton to get multiple podiums and win something in his rookie year. expectations are running high here.

lando norris's expiring contract. as we know lando has one more confirmed year with mclaren. cel of mclaren zak brown has announced that they want to extend landos contract with mclaren, but, hes starting to get really really good, which means that a top team like red bull or mercedes might also try to get him as a driver. this is the year for mclaren to prove to lando that they can give him what he wants (which is to win a race. in his 5 years of formula 1 he hasn't won anything. and once he starts winning then hes going to want to win a championship. but. there is max verstappen to contend with). so their absolute balls to the wall tactic could work pretty well for them here. pre season testing doesnt start for over another month and they are already clearly locked in to the 2024 season.

lando and oscar actually get along. sure, formula 1 is an individual sport, but there is the drivers championship (for the individual driver) and the constructors championship (for the team with the most points). so they do have to work together. drivers not working together in the past has led to some ... undesirable results for teams (the great brocedes civil war of nico rosberg and lewis hamilton that ultimately resulted in nico retiring after he won his first championship, whatever the hell was going with max and daniel for part of the 2018 season, the french civil war at alpine between pierre gasley and esteban ocon) they are also both very consistent drivers. neither are incredibly crash prone and seem quite willing to work together on the track to optimize results.

yes they do also have disadvantages. lando has never won a race, they only have one pole position between them (lando in russia in 2021) and they're not a red bull. clearly they're the underdog in the situation. but they did finish fourth in the constructors championship in 2023 ("best of the rest") (and after basically getting next to no points for the first several races on account of the fact that their car was shit) behind ferrari, mercedes, and red bull. they're coming for the top 3 and honestly it could be their season to lose.

if ferrari doesnt change their strategy approach then they could be out of a shot at top 3. also ferrari have to deal with the nightmare of resigning both of their drivers (or finding new ones). merc and red bull will both be giving it their all (lewis hamilton really really wants to win his 8th world championship before he retires and max is well. max.) but if mclaren has a competitive car from the start of the season and doesnt have to play catch up for the first several races, then they could easily finish in the top 3.

also they released their livery today? which really confuses me (is that different than the car unveiling? what is going on someone mansplain it to me please)

VOLLEYBALL SZN

Heavily inspired by @brokenanxiety headcannons of mat barzal dating a vball player ‼️

Mat Barzal x fem reader (volleyball player)

Im a senior in collage. #87 on NYU’s volleyball team for varsity. My boyfriend does his own thing, hockey for the islanders.

Usually our schedules don’t line up, I’ll have a game and he has training. He has a game and I have training. The only time they’ve ever lined up is during training camps. But even then we can barely see each other. And even then our training camps have a no fraternization rule.

The islanders have never been too fond of sharing facilities with a collage v ball team.

“We had a game forfeit so are you still good with me coming to see you play” he whispers into my ear as I rub lotion onto my forearms in preparation for the bruises.

“Mm, if you want too. Usually they make you practice instead right?” I ask as Mat watches me braid my hair and raise it into a ponytail.

“Yeahh.. but I told the guys about this and they wanted me to come.. they’ll probably show up halfway through and bring the team out for pizza” he tells me as his hands rub up and down my thighs.

“Really? You’re willing to feed a group of starved varsity volleyball players after the biggest tournament of the season?” I inquire turning my head around to face him. He’s still all smiles and giggles with his head laid into my neck.

“Is that a bad thing?”

“Never”

Games are always fairly similar; the same nervous buzz that leads into the locker rooms. We all have matching hair.

“You nervous?” Astrid asks as we stretch out and set and serve eachother for our warmups.

“Always, but mat is here for like the first time ever and I’m so nervous” I grin a little bit

“Isn’t he the one you hooked up with junior year? At the training camp?” She gasps out, “holy shit you’re dating?” She whisper shouts which attracts the attention of our other teammates

I nod, “but Shh. We need to win this tournament”

The blonde nods as she puts on her knee guards.

It always feels cheesy when I say that Mat’s cheers are the only ones I can hear against the roar of the crowd. I feel like I’m gasping for breath as I’m diving and saving.

I’m knocking my head sometimes; scrambling for the ball and using my arms to save it.

We end the game in overtime, winning barely with a 2 to 1 score.

I change back into a baggy shirt instead of my uniform but I don’t have the care to change out of my shorts, “Do y’all want pizza?” I ask as we gather up our bags and let our hair out.

“Yess, but who’s buying?” Ella asks as she cracks her knuckles

“Mat, and his team. They said they were gonna take us out for dinner” I inform and Ella grins before rattling out the most Ella like sentence I’ve ever heard

“Do they now how much we can eat?”

“No. No they do not”

There’s six girls, plus six other 6’+ hockey players. It’s a bit of a feast, “fuck are we starved” Abby smiles as the majority of the girls eat.

I’m happily seated next to mat with his hand on my thigh as we eat, “did you have fun?” I ask him

“Yeah, the moms weren’t too thrilled seeing a hoard of hockey players screaming about volleyball” he laughs softly and I smile at him

“Im still really happy you came”

“Me too”

It’s a laughter seeing the team astonished at how much a group of girls can eat after four games and the final five to win.

Mat drives me home and I’m falling asleep in the car ride home, “you must be tired, huh pretty girl?” He smiles against my skin as he brings me up into our room

“So tired”

(Idk how to end it l o l )

I rly hope you like it
