If I had a nickel for every time Carlos Sainz won a race with Lando Norris on the podium and breaking Max Verstappen’s consecutive wins, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice.

Less cryptid Batman in this particular WIP since it's semi-outsider pov lol (one of two outside person not unnerved by them lol)

🦇👻🪆🦇👻🪆🦇👻🪆🦇👻🪆🦇👻🪆🦇👻🪆🦇👻🪆🦇

   Clark knew Batman wasn’t human, even before that disaster of a mission where he had let it slip to the others. 

   He’d known for a long time, from one of their early meetups, when Batman had first referred to him as Clark Kent instead of Kal-El, and he had panicked. He hadn’t ever lied to his teammates when he said that the cloak prevented him from seeing his body, but his ears still worked. 

   He’d tried to listen to a heartbeat, to see if his at the time temporary ally was lying when he stated he wasn’t going to tell anyone and… Nothing. There was no heartbeat, no breathing, nothing even remotely human, and if he didn’t know any better, nothing even remotely alive about the silence. 

   He couldn’t help but to pay attention more, to seek out the strange almost silence-feeling that accompanied the Gotham vigilante each time he felt it. It was… almost comforting, like the swaying of branches and the rustling of cloth over stone. Familiar, compared to the hustle and bustle surrounding him in the city. 

   The first thing he had noticed, physically that is, was Batman’s ears. Previously he’d thought the man unemotional, what with the rough voice, expressionless white eyes, cloak-covered body and the gas mask covering a good chunk of his face. 

   Yet the longer he watched, even idly, the more he noticed that while the man’s face or body didn’t show much, his ears did. 

   While Batman could stay silent and still for hours, the long ears twitched and swiveled, catching on the hood that he’d always wear around them. They’d pin back sometimes, a near silent sound he couldn’t quite place accompanying the movement, while other times they’d twist a near full three-sixty, as though searching for whatever sound it had caught. 

   Sometimes, when he’d startled the other vigilante, there’d be rattling noise, like wood and metal clacking together before it was cut off. It was a strange sound, one he’d not heard anywhere else, except with his… friend. 

   Were they friends? He’d like to think so. 

   The next time he was reminded that his friend wasn’t human was when he saw him get injured. It hadn’t been a bad injury, even if the Gothamite’s head had hit the wall with a very loud cracking noise, but he’d still smelled what he’d eventually come to recognize as blood. There was an almost pickle-like scent to it though that wasn’t quite it either. 

   Honestly the closest he could think of describing it was some sort of formaldehyde. And once he focused, he could pick out other things beneath it. Maybe not flesh and blood in the traditional sense, but still. 

   There was always that scent of cloth and wood, but he could smell the black liquid, paint, a metallic thing underneath like iron and steel. No heartbeat, no breath, but life all the same. It was honestly beautiful in a way, like a part of the city the other vigilante called home had come to life. 

   And it wasn’t like Batman minded whenever his own human mask slipped. Clark may have been raised by his Ma and Pa, whom he loved, but it didn’t make his body any more human in nature. There were just some things that he couldn’t change, and it took effort to move like one all day as a civilian when his body wasn’t designed to do so.

   So he stayed quiet for the most part when their group of three grew, and people started to speculate. He diverted the conversations whenever it turned to him, lightly admonishing over the various rumors. 

   It didn’t matter if Batman wasn’t human, he was still his friend, their ally and teammate. Was he curious? Oh of course, he’d gone into journalism for a reason after all, but it was still his friend. If he wanted to tell, he’d tell, and Clark wouldn’t break his trust.

Fun fact: if you watch Hevy closely during Clone Cadets, you can see that he tends to shoot with his mouth open

Here are some screenshot examples

#b talks #clone trooper hevy #hevy #clone cadets #domino squad #as a softball player who had teammates who would swing or run with their mouths open he is definitely not the only trooper to do this lol #it was definitely a thing with my teammates so i don't see why it wouldn't happen on other teams #and therefore with the sw universe too #people knew about it you just don't comment #since it's a natural thing to do #hevy however probably got picked on by cutup when he first noticed lol #gotta love em #also if anyone made gifs of these moments i would like to be your friend

[lsttpn]

ok

so

lestappen rbr teammates but everyone thought that charles wouldnt fit in at redbull and he proved them wrong by bonding with max verstappen so hard that they become unbeatable in grill the grid

so bare with me and get this

charles announces his departure from ferrari and everyone is shocked because this guys breaths and lives and loves and adores ferrari even in the worst moments so they are like wtf is happening

when he announces that his move would lead him to rbr, they are like wtf are you doing you will not survive verstappen you will be out of place you wont get on with the guy at all

he was out of place because he still felt like an intruder but he quickly got over it because simply max

so, he liked max, that was obvious. like he would not deny in that. charles knows that he liked max since he was a kid but he coped with it when the inchident happened, he coped when max entered f1 three years befor him, he coped when austria 2019 happened, he coped when 2022 happened.

so he couldnt do much about it because it was. a crush. yeah

he thought hey since we are teammates i can get over it and just bond with him like a normal person and just get him as a friend off track and a rival on track

simple

but jesus christ max is so nice that its painful

its terrible. max is nice and thoughtful and a cool guy and pretty and hot and ugh charles almost regrets not resisting another win of barely points so that the merc seat would open. almost

almost because he and max just work so well. off track, on track, everyday every time they meet they just.. click

and its funny too because he knew even before he came to rbr that they click, he knew since he was little and he let other people be convinced that they will not work because they have no business in thier relationship and stuff but being so close to max made him aware of this constantly

and its enjoyable being in eachothers company and they are so relaxed with one another that they start a genuine strong friendship which led them to random talks at 3 am on random days of the week at eachother houses

this is where its starts

they are expected to film a video for the first grill the grid of the season at the next gp

while they cant know what they will be made to do, max knows a couple of people from f1/fia pr and he could easily get the info on what they are suppose to do

he tells so to charles one night while they were hanging out in monaco, maxs flat, just eating takeout and playing fifa

now charles is a competitive person and he hate losing at those videos and is absolutely fed up with being called a babygirl himbo so he tells max to hit those pr people up and beg them for the prompts so he can study them and win

max, another competitive person, absolutely agrees with charles and they shake hands: dammed be the actual champion, that they sure will win but the grill the grid champions is more important at 1 am on a wednesday

so they start to prepare themselves by studying for the video and they are doing study dates between interviews and team debriefs

and they absolutely smash the competition

they both come first, tying ofc and they are absolutely ecstatic

so they do that again and again

some of those challenges are made to be for both teammates so they work even better when they are together, placing first by a margin not only in the championship

and its so fun, the study dates and the absolute nerding they both do and it makes them even closer

at one point,on a study date they have their fluffy oh moment and they just.. get it now that the feelingtm are revealed

and they are fluffy and in love and they do their little cheater stuff and at the end of the season, when they are drunk because they won the constructor championship and charles won the drivers one, one of them slips up that they cheated the whole grill the grid season and every other driver is enraged (mainly geroge and lando tbh thats how i see it)

and they are like tf why did you tell charles you have contact with the pr people?? to max and he says something like i wanted him to win no matter what. in a casual tone

and charles is literally so drunk on love at the moment and says someting cheesy like yeah even if you cheated you still won my heart and its cute and nice and fluffy and tooth rotting sweet and just

lestappen bonding as teammates

and so sweet

ugh its 3 am im done i love this concept i changed it 2 times tho

anyway if you read this ty!, it was a lil thing i had in mind and i couldnt resist not to write it

and ik quality is probably bad, its because this is the first time im writing someting like this but i could not care less ( lie i really hope its at least readable as in i hope there is coherence)

#lestappen #ugh im so scared to tag cuz its my first thing i wrote and ik i cant write at all but i said fuck it and all #i at least hope the idea is enjoyable #like they work so good as teammate *in my mind* #but yeah yeah they are cool and all #ah also english is not my first language so excuse if there are mistakes 😔 #sooo i hope that whoever reads this they enjoy it? at least a bit #just thoughts yk

All these fics about Kabbu and Leif sharing a bed for "shipping reasons" or whatever are a fool's move. Give us the bee! Acknowledge Team Snakemouth's canonical inn arrangements of "all three of them sleep in the same bed" you coward! We aren't here for "romance" or "pairing the boys together because they're the stock standard Shippable Men", we're here for bed sharing!

Team Snakemouth consists of three bugs, and they absolutely should get fic with inconvenient and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements where Vi somehow monopolizes 90% of the bed despite being physically smaller than everyone else, Leif is banished to the very edge of the bed for being Cold, and Kabbu dumps both of his teammates on the floor on accident when he wakes up from a nightmare. The bed sharing fic that we deserve as a fandom should be rooted in deep inconvenience and it should contain at least one instance of someone getting kicked in the ribs, and that's our firm opinion.

#bug fables #we speak #legal disclaimer this post is a joke and all kabbuleif hate is exclusively to set up the joke #we DO feel that using “and there was only one bed” for romance is just a missed opportunity #especially since it means shoving vi to the side and especially because like. theres already so much fic that treats her as The Spare #it would be nice to get more fic where she isnt treated as baggage and shoved off to the side for the sake of developing her teammates #but we've been making our own food for long enough that we know if we want something good we'll have to make it ourself #so really its just an aimless complaint #we'll get around to writing our own things eventually we just have to bitch abt the state of things a bit first

[liquidstar]

If I can't sleep that's ok because you know what.... I will post one more small excerpt from my oc writing practice wips. Just once more for now

probably the only context you need for this one is that everyone's at a party that a place is throwing them for completing a big mission. so here it is

-----

As the party raged on within the stone walls, Polaris slipped away to the porch. She took slow steps, carefully carrying an arranged plate of finger food she’d collected. She sat down on the floor, and leaned her head up against the wall. Taking in the muted sounds of the festivity indoors, she found comfort in this space that hovered between the roaring celebration and the stillness of the night.

Polaris wasn’t alone in seeking refuge outside, another person had found their way to her hiding spot- It’s Mira! Though Polaris had ventured out to eat alone, Mira was certainly not unwelcome company.

However, Mira did not seem to notice Polaris sitting on the ground. She walked right past her, lost in her own thoughts as she made her way to the railing, relaxing her arms on it.

“Hey,” Polaris spoke in a cautious voice, so as not to startle her teammate. Still, she saw Mira tense at the sound of her voice.

“Oh! Polly! I didn't see you, sorry!”

Polaris laughs, “All good!”

“What are you doing… sitting on the ground alone?”

“Eating,” Polaris shrugged, and took another bite of her food.

“Ohh…”

“What about you? I didn't think you'd be the type to leave parties. Aren’t you a social butterfly?”

“I'd like to be a butterfly!” Mira laughs, turning her face towards the sky above, her eyes sparkling with wonder, “But actually I just wanted to look at the stars a little. They're clearer here in the mountains y'know…”

“Hm,” Polaris followed Mira's gaze upwards. She rose to her feet, joining Mira at the railing, “Yeah, you're right.”

“It's so pretty,” Mira marveled, tracing the constellations above. She adds, “It's so big.”

“Yeah, well, that's space.”

They fell into a comfortable stilless, taking in the enchanting view of the starry sky. The distant sounds of the party still echoed in the background, the golden light from inside illuminating only their backs.

“Do you ever feel like this is the wrong place?”

Polaris tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at Mira's sudden question. “What do you mean?”

Mira raised a single outstretched hand to the heavens, as if waiting for the universe to take it. Staring at the gaps of sky between her fingers, she continues, "Don't you feel like… We're supposed to be up there?"

Polaris looks into Mira's eyes, which were still fixated above. She could only see a vague wistfulness within them- A nostalgia. The stars themselves shined within those eyes. Polaris couldn’t explain why, but this made her uneasy.

As if in a daze, Mira stood on her tiptoes and reached for the stars with all her might. In a panic, Polaris drops her plate and grabs onto her friend.

“Polaris? What are you doing?” Mira’s trance was broken by the sudden embrace, “I thought you weren't a hugger?” She joked.

“I thought… I thought the stars were going to take you away,” Polaris mumbled, embarrassed by the ridiculousness of her own words, “So I held on…”

Mira couldn’t help but laugh at this absurd statement, “What? That's silly! How would that even work?” poking fun at her friend's nonsense concerns, she tried to lighten the mood.

“I don't-” Polaris relaxed her grip, but didn't fully let go of Mira, “It really felt like it…”

Mira let out a sigh and patted her head, “I wouldn't let that happen, okay?”

Having these irrational concerns humored somehow made Polaris feel even more embarrassed. She released Mira from her embrace, and stepped back to lean on the railing. "Sorry,” she replied.

“Well, I'm just glad you care so much!” Mira laughed again, not letting up on her teasing. However, her snarky smile softens and she leaves Polaris with a, “Thank you.”

With that, Mira heads back inside, leaving Polaris alone with her thoughts. She took one last glance at the stars.

“The right place…” She whispers to the night.

#finn's ocs #now for girls #but actually there is ONE thing in this one that relates to the last one i posted #it's really small so I'll just point it out- saiph and mira both comfort people by patting their heads lol #also going back to the first one i posted- polaris gets to eat! yay! #ALSO w polaris i wanna have distinct moments where the description for her team each switch from teammate to friend. this is mira's #i also wanna work in distinct moments where the descriptions for characters will change from boy/girl to man/woman. #bc they're all like in their mid 20s by the end. and i wrote one for bella but it's not cleaned up #but yeah that's what i got and those are my thoughts

Screw it, it's time for more elemental roulette AU stuff - Morro Edition

Morro not just being a member of the team, but being one since the very beginning, is perhaps this AU's most significant point of divergence. That much is obvious. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this has so many more impacts than I had originally realized when I first started planning out this AU.

The basics are still the same. He's still an orphan, was still adopted by Wu, and still has a borderline fatal need to be the green ninja. The main difference is that in this AU, he didn't die horribly 40+ years ago. He's still alive, and he's roughly the same age as the rest of the team.

Now for the differences.

Since the Golden Weapons haven't yet been gathered at the start of the AU (this whole shebang starts during the pilots), Morro and Wu haven't had the opportunity to discover that he isn't the green ninja. So they're still at that early point in their relationship, with Wu believing Morro to be the chosen one and Morro training excessively to prepare himself for the path he thinks destiny has laid out for him.

I personally hc that the reason Wu was initially so reluctant to share information about the green ninja prophecy was due to his baggage over losing Morro, and he was determined not to have that happen ever again. However, that hasn't happened in this AU. And since Wu didn't go through that experience, he hasn't yet learned the lesson he would have from it. So in this AU he isn't quite as reluctant to impart information about the green ninja prophecy. And while Wu tries not to make it quite so apparent, the others aren't blind. They know Wu thinks Morro will become the green ninja. Which is...interesting. For a number of reasons.

Think about it like this. Morro and Kai are both self-destructively obsessed with proving themselves worthy of the green ninja title. Both of them are at a point in their character arcs where they haven't overcome those behaviors. What happens when you combine Morro and Kai under these circumstances? Nothing pleasant, that's for sure!

Once the Golden Weapons are united and safely in the ninjas' possession, obviously Wu and Morro will test to confirm their beliefs - and then watch in surprise and a teensy bit of horror as those convictions are crushed. Morro isn't the green ninja. And he gets just as bitter about it here as he was in canon. And this only exacerbates the tensions between Morro and Kai. Kai sees this as his chance to prove he's the green ninja instead, Morro is determined to prove destiny wrong, and they're both...painfully competitive about it. Like, dangerously so.

Eventually, they all get their true potential arcs. Since Jay and Zane aren't in the og4 here and don't become ninja until later down the line, Cole is the first one to unlock his true potential, followed closely by Nya. Then comes Kai, when he realizes that Lloyd is the green ninja and comes to terms with this fact.

Here's where things get spicy. See, I personally kinda like the green cousins dynamic. And I think it'd be really cute if Morro and kid!Lloyd initially got along pretty well. Morro is the only person who's edgy enough to match Lloyd's energy and earn the kid's respect. And having been a homeless, unsupervised child himself, Morro can empathize with Lloyd's situation in ways no one else can. I think Morro would also project his resentment towards his own parents onto Misako and Garmadon, which results in him being a bit protective over Lloyd. So like, edgelord green cousins being angsty and stupid together. Wholesome. I love it. 10/10

BUT. Then he learns Lloyd is the green ninja. The one thing Morro wants more than anything in the world. To be the chosen one. To be someone important. But now his snot-nosed brat of a cousin is destiny's golden boy and not him? Morro doesn't take that news nearly as well as Kai. From Morro's perspective, Lloyd took his destiny from him. Lloyd stole what was rightfully his. You've all seen season 5, you know how this goes. Except...now there's this added layer of conflict. Morro cares about Lloyd. They have a fond relationship. But now that's being turned on its head due to jealousy and pride, and of course a mountain of insecurity/self-worth issues. So he loves Lloyd and cares for him deeply, but he's also struggling to tame a newfound fierce bitterness towards his beloved cousin. Messy internal conflict abound

It takes Morro a long time to overcome this issue and finally unlock his true potential, and as such he's the last member of the team to do so (discounting Jay and Zane, who don't begin their ninja training until later). I have a few ideas for how that would go down, but however it happens it needs to touch on the core of Morro's motivations. Much to think about.

Also, can I just say how funny this new og4 dynamic would be??? Like, Kai, Morro, and Nya all have notoriously bad anger issues. They're all feisty and prickly people, and I'm sure they would have a hard time getting along at first. Especially Kai and Morro. But then there's Cole. Who's just kinda...idk vibing I guess. The Only Chill Person Here, Apparently. He is the only thing keeping these three from ripping each other's throats out, and he deserves a goddamn award for it. And also some very strong coffee.

Of course, to be fair, at this point in his character arc Cole is also pretty stern and serious. So I guess they're all kinda prickly right now. Which basically means that in the beginning of this AU, the ninja team is essentially just😠😠😠😒

#oh god i just realized #so the whole thing about samurai x is that they are outperforming the ninja and stealing the ninjas' thunder #but like. *jay* is samurai x in this au #which means this silly comic relief dumbass is somehow obliterating three angry perfectionists without breaking a sweat #they all hate him at first. SO much #and id like to think that even after becoming a friend/ally/teammate #jay still finds delight in tormenting morro #ninjago #elemental roulette au #morro #morro ninjago #destiny post

#honestly? i love that junpei ACTUALLY gets jealous/frustrated at minato #bc like. it makes junpei feel like an actual character? like. in every other game its like all ur teammates love and adore you the moment #they join you. but in p3 it really feels like everyone has to ACTUALLY kinda bond? #junpei gets pissy bc minato is the leader. mitsuru is closed off and hiding things. akihiko is ALSO hiding things #yukari has her own secrets and though she warms up first she still is a little cold at times. like? that's just the initial 5. #its kinda nice. i wish we got to see more of that. like i mean we DO get it before the characters join ur party in the other games but #i'd like to see more of it. it feels like everyone is just besties immediately in 4/5. in 3 you gotta actually kinda bond #its nice #vani plays p3re

My feelings? Being reciprocated? It's more likely than you (and I) think

#told teammate A the other day how I've been sort of flirting with my crush-ish and he guessed who bc I'm not subtle at all #and then last night teammate B went 'oh you might appreciate this: [crush-ish] told me he has a thing for you but not to tell you' and like #does he know?? bc he's definitely seen me flirting but also this is the second guy he's told me about and the first I showed no interest #so I had to just be like 'oh really huh that is good to know' trying to avoid eye contact with A who 100% knows and was def like 😏 #personal

someone's gotta make phrygian's triumphant musical theme that comes out in scenes like this and name it A Single Shot

#we wish we knew how to make music #hard mode is trying to convey the branched and Keith's description of the weird music that phrygian's true form is #but also we want a very very specific motif from the first A Single Shot thing in Partizan #like guys. guys. do you see this anime with us #can you hear it coming back whenever phrygian takes down something huge by themself in one hit #and the audience going nuts #it's not the main theme this is its own song and it's called a single shot and it is just for this beat #a rare beat but it IS recurring and it's SO cool #the BUILDING anticipation of teammates setting this shit up and everyone coming the fuck together #and then Phrygian giving it all they've got and hitting the final blow #and it's so cool #and then we are coasting on the comedown from that big BAM! climax in the song as Phrygian comes to talk to that prisoner #like this is just paperwork this is just closing it out this is just getting your reward #and then something goes wrong with the music and Phrygian's attempt fails and the guy doesn't leave #and the sound of the principality asserts itself and Phrygian gets hit with war-weary #please someone make this anime please #friends at the table #Palisade #Palisade spoilers #partizan spoilers #Partizan #first mate Phrygian our beloved

People don’t romanticize testing season enough for me

#first day of school jitters. the anticipation of what the new year could bring #feeling that adrenaline for the first time in months. nothing feels the same as getting thrown around the corners at warp speed! #the familiar ache in their necks!! #the only time of year where teammates are truly teammates #just pushing to get the most out of the car together before you gear up for battle #with each other but against each other. but for now! #no one knows where they stand. there’s whispers of course. did you see the new side pods. I’ve heard things look good in the sim over there #the hope! the expectation! the way the paddock awakes from its slumber. you can feels it’s pulse thrumming through the pavement. #TESTING

“aren’t you too old to be trick or treating?” for Pyrrah ♥

HALLOWEEN  SENTENCE  STARTERS. 

[[Thank you for sending! :D]]

Honestly, she had been sure about her plans until Weiss asked it. Trick-or-treating was a child's tradition, sure, but it was a nice way to both take a walk, enjoy the colder atmosphere of the festivity, watch the children enjoy the celebration and have a chance to wear the costume she had worked on for a while. "It does feel like it's more of a thing for children." Now that she thought about it, would going trick-or-treating mean that she would get candy (which, wasn't the point for her of doing this) that otherwise another kid would be getting?

"Oh... it might be better to not do it." Now looking back to Weiss, Pyrrha added: "Does no one of your team work on costumes for Halloween, though? The costumes have to be used for something, right?"

I’m ngl, I’m mildly interested in the Lazarus Planet stuff coming up, mostly because I miss being invested in DC comics and also I’ve been very invested in Marvel comics for awhile, and when nature is out of balance to that degree, bad things happen.

Like, I’m not expecting it to be GOOD, per se, but it does look like radical changes across the board (even if temporary), and that’s the kind of shake-up that can rattle loose various ideas or set-ups that intrigue me and get the inspiration engines up and running.

Course, first there’s this whole Batman vs Robin set-up to put everything in place, and I’m aggressively trying to ignore all of that and just wade into the eventual Lazarus Planet stuff armed with wiki summaries, because oh look, all the former Robins have been brainwashed into being evil and trying to kill Bruce because brainwashed Batkids is something new and different and oh well, at least they’re just making this about former Robins and not Bruce’s kids so its not ACTUALLY like Cass and Duke have just been left on the sidelines again right?

Hey, completely unrelated, but who wants to join in on a “Its Been This Many Days Since We Last Fucked With Dick Grayson’s Brain” scoreboard as like a Christmas gift for the DC offices?

Anyway, my only real takeaway on this is not only are Dick, Jason, Tim, Steph and Damian all united in being evil and targeting Bruce, they’ve also all been armed with heavy-duty mystical weapons like the Sword of Sin and Cloak of Cagliostro and lol its like wait at what point do you have to take a look at how you hype up the Batkids’ own skills and danger-levels and be like, umm, Bruce really should NOT be coming out of this event alive but okay.

#im just saying they've been hyping up Dick as Bruce's ultimate contingency plan for HIMSELF and showcasing how effective Jason was at #bamboozling Bruce when he first returned as the Red Hood years ago and Tim's been characterized as My Contingency Plans Have Contingency #Plans for decades now and like basically all these kids have their own stories meant to cement them as ridiculously hyper-competent and #skilled across the board so when you keep being like but put them all together and they'll still never actually be on Bruce's level #just...near enough to be a threat to him just not an insurmountable one.... #its like....you do get that it makes all your hype of them in every other comic just read as lip service you know? #if you forever keep their dad as the ceiling their own competency and skill/threat level is capped at..... #guess what? you're actually sacrificing the opportunities for continued growth for like six different characters all for the sake of one #character who doesn't even actually NEED to be upheld as eternally unbeatable and the ultimate capstone of all skill ingenuity and #competency in the DC universe....because being eternally upheld at that tier of Peak Untouchability is also kinda the very thing #that MAKES him so damn unrelatable to a lot of readers and what frustrates them about his role in many stories #not to mention his relative dynamic with most other characters around him - friends family and teammates alike #BUT I DIGRESS
