In a fandom where everyone loves to make villains Nice, thank you for making them Even Worse. <3
*salutes nobly* absolutely delighted to be of service!
i am genuinely always sooooo thrilled that folks enjoy this?? as you said fandom does seem to tend to prefer them being Nice so i'm always a little nervous so i'm very glad if anyone enjoys my particular little sip of villain flavour! 😭💖 the enthusiasm helps a lot and i really appreciate it!

I love when scientists do experiments and accidentally discover somethin completely different from what they intended. Like pavlov is a classic mfer wasnt even a psychologist when he conditioned those dogs.
But theres another one where these two fuckers Olds and Milner thought they could erase memories by zappin the hippocampus w electricity. So they did it on some rats but mfers had such shit aim and didnt know the fuck they were doin that they ended up hitting the lateral hypothalamus instead which activated a core pleasure center in the brain. And they basically made it so these rats could hit a lever to zap emselves to feel good and they created a bunch of crackhead rats that did nothing but zap themselves.

Psalm 16:11 (ESV) -
You make known to me the path of life;
in Your presence there is fullness of joy;
at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

hello everyone ❤️🥰👋 so, apologies in advance for what's about to be a very long post, but today is a sentimental day for me, because it is - guess what - exactly one year since i posted my first-ever f1 rpf fic and in so doing officially joined this incredible, insane, "i've never felt this way about a pairing before" fandom.
that's right. one year ago today, on the 2nd of June 2022, i, katie singsweetmelodies, posted my fic ils se connaissent par coeur - which is, of course, about piarles, and incidentally also about monaco 2022 (which, as it happens, was the first f1 race i properly followed/watch live on f1tv.) needless to say, this was a bit of a defining moment for me, fandom-wise. i mean, if you had told me one year ago that i would proceed to write over two hundred thousand words for f1 rpf, i would have laughed in your face. but here i am today, with 225184 words currently posted to AO3 on this account - and still counting!
i know everyone always says "this fandom is special" and whatnot - but in this case, for me, it really is. i mean, for fuck's sake, i wrote SMUT, if nothing else. i've certainly never done that before (or, at least, i've never published it before. but now i've got probably 50k of it available in full explicit detail on AO3... needless to say, this fandom has bewitched me mind, body and soul.)
it hasn't always been a fun ride - i mean, how could it be, i chose to be a fucking FERRARI fan - but at this point i would like to do the biggest, most whole-hearted shoutout to all the amazing, incredible people i've met along the way. yes, i've had good fandom friends before. but the ones in this fandom feel special in a way i can't quite put into words, but you just are, and i want to thank each and every one of you so, so much for it. you guys have brightened my days and my dashboard, made me laugh and made me groan out loud, made me ship things i never would have considered otherwise, and been some of the most wonderfully supportive souls i've ever had the pleasure of meeting. it has been an honour and a pleasure getting to be in this fandom with you all, and at this point all i can say is: here's to many, many more years!! ❤️❤️❤️
now, to end this all off with a hopefully full-circle moment: i started this all in monaco, so before the end of tonight, i am going to post the monaco chapter of my latest WIP (all that remains is editing those bits i wrote at 2am, lmao, and then my full circle 2 June moment will be complete.)
and all there's left to say, once again, is thank you. thank you all, for everything. i love and appreciate you all more than words can possibly say ❤️💙

California condor anon here— thank you so much for the icons, I absolutely love them both!! And the reason I requested that species specifically is bc it’s a kintype I’ve been questioning for years, and have p much officially confirmed recently, so the kind words about them mean a lot :> *baps u politely with my fuckin humongous wings in gratitude*
If you’d ever like to edit the aforementioned skrunkliest birbs of all time again, then an iPad wallpaper (sized to 2732 × 2048) themed after them (in whatever way you want, again total artistic freedom here!!) would be super cool, but no worries if that’s not smth you’re up for!! I’m just glad I now have a way to slap my silly goofy beak and wings next to things I post now yippee
CALIFORNIA CONDOR? IN MY INBOX? REAL? oh that is SO cool hiiii hello!!! i've never met a condor before let alone made an ipad wallpaper for them but i tried my best!! SO up for it though. of course.
here you go!!! i hope it suits your needs!
(there's a slightly more silly variant under the cut simply bc it made me giggle to create x) do what you will with that one lmaooooo)
