#lightning perhaps

[strqyr]

i'm just imagining summer one day deciding that now's the time to make a move against salem, and then proceeds to grab her axe that's also a hunting rifle and go outside to shoot at raven after spotting her in a tree, just like qrow did at haven.

like shooting at raven is just their way of saying 'hello'.

#rwby #rwby9 #rwby spoilers #if qrow's reaction to shielding himself after a portal opens near him is anything to go by #the opposite is also true to some extent #except raven doesn't have a gun #could be a fireball #maybe some ice #lightning perhaps #you'll know once it hits you i'm sure

the off season can get boring.

lightning hates being bored.

it’s sort of like his own personal hell, and on those chilly winter days when theres not a flake of snow but you can feel it in the air, he wishes he was still able to run late model races like he did before the piston cup. back then, he could still find a track running races in a little bit of chilly weather and he could get out and do some laps, but the piston cup doesnt work like that - they dont run in the winter, FOUR MONTHS of sitting around doing nothing until the fireball 500, and it drives him mad.

he Needs to be moving, and running around isnt what hes talking about. he needs to be in the dirt, driving at 200 mph like his life depends on it, winning something, competing in something…

doc is quick to pick up on this restlessness. you cant just live in the same house as a teenager and not feel the tension in the air when he gets told he needs to take a break. and, because lightning is his kid and he knows him better than anyone, he knows EXACTLY what lightning is longing for.

its cold, the sun is barely above the mountains of cadillac range, and lightning is sitting on the front porch in his rusteze racing jacket playing with that stupid gas station lighter that never seems to run out of fluid. doc steps out onto the porch, car keys in one hand, crutch around his opposite forearm. hes a man with a plan to get this restless kid some racing time.

kingman raceway isnt too far, maybe two hours, and doc is well aware of the schedule that lizzie plasters on her window every winter when the spokesman for the track pops into town to drop off flyers. today is a sprint race, and if hes not gonna sign lightning up to do SOMETHING then he’d be the worst father in the world.

he doesnt have a sprint car, but doc happens to know a guy, and everything is already set up. he gets lightning in the car and theyre on their way to kingman - the 19 year old in his ear the whole way asking him “where are we going?” “please tell me its not an interview, i’ll lose my mind, doc.”

“just wait.” is all he can say.

lightning raced stock and late models, not sprint, and doc can feel the slight disappointment when they pull into the track and the peculiar looking sprint cars are sitting on trailers or parked outside the garage door of the shop.

they get out and stretch before doc leads him to the ticket booth, where they’re greeted by a kind older woman, who seemingly recognizes him and ushers the two to the garage.

lightning is confused. what is even happening right now? doc is striking up conversation with some random guy and lightning is left wandering, looking around, watching the mechanics and tense drivers work away on their cars..

then, a waiver and a pen are shoved into his hands, and doc stands there with a sly grin. “you wanted to race, didnt you?”

“well, yeah. i dont know how to drive a sprint car though.”

“trust me, kiddo, you’ll get it”

OK, I finally finished The Devil Judge. I already had an ao3 tab open and waiting. I clicked over to it and ... 10? Just 10 fics out of 1,135 are bottom Kang Yo Han? I rarely give a fuck who penetrates who in M/M fics but am I seriously in this kind of a tiny minority when it comes to Kang Yo Han getting railed by the guy with his beloved older brother's face? The older brother he was absolutely obsessed with? It's just me and (counts on fingers) 7 other people who think he wants to hear Kim Ga On whisper in his ear while he's facedownassup "it's ok to call me hyung"????????

since Keqing is an expert of the land and Ganyu's an expert on plants, together they could arrange a really nice and pretty garden for themselves. There's just something about busy office ladies finding happiness in making a neat garden together in their free time.

#ganqing #keqing #ganyu #genshin impact #if it's canon setting tho i can't forget abt the sumeru line of “electro is good. It makes plants stronger and bear more fruit" #imagine Keqing supporting Ganyu's garden by hurling her lightning stiletto at the plants lmao #this is just a joke but either way i do like them tending to their garden together #in more normal ways perhaps asghdjkhal #modern office au boss keqing being all serious and elegant in a suit but she's holding a bag of seedlings for ganyu to put in their garden

Calypso could play Damsel In Distress to put a mark off guard or create a distraction- allowing Ourania to go in unnoticed for the kill one of their many tactics

Results of my poll(s) are in!

At the very least 2 people must not have realized/understood the whole "please vote for different people on both of the polls" idea I had - there were 2 more votes on one poll than on the other. It's okay though, I'm thankful for the votes I got!

After some work counting, I have the numbers. I added a vote from someone that didn't get to the polls in time to vote, so if you're doing the calculations yourself don't be surprised that it doesn't completely add up to this here.

We're gonna start with the lowest, because I have a picture for the top three and that'll be below the cut.

Cat, Kage and Sheshe all got 1 vote and thus share the last, 7th place! Hey, at least no one ended without a vote!

Wildfire, Starlight and Mia got 2 votes each, so they are all on 6th place.

Moonshot got 3 votes, which brought him 5th place.

Blackfire and Mar'i ended with 4 votes each, leading them to 4th place!

Now, for the top 3, find those below the cut!

Place 3, with 5 votes, Lightning!

Place 2, with 6 votes, Pyrrha!

And (unsurprisingly) the winner, with more than double the votes than 2nd place, with 13 votes, Starfire!

Thanks for voting, I'm very surprised Lightning managed to get into the top three, and I had a lot of fun watching the votes - so thank you for being here and part of this!

Hello! I hope all is well!

Here’s an ask related to Doc.

How do you think he felt knowing that famous racers like The King and Lightning considered him their inspiration?

i think he probably felt a bit of unease.

its one thing to have your career torn away from you in an accident that has continued to effect your life daily, but it sure cant be great to learn that famous drivers today use your story as inspiration for them to achieve that level in the sport that betrayed you so long ago.

but, i also believe doc cant bring himself to care all that much. its just discomfort around his own trauma mainly, and he cant find it in himself to be picky and tell people what they can and cant use as inspiration. some part of him may feel even a bit of pride — definitely more pride after lightning sticks around and doc is able to rediscover his love for racing — but maybe that little part of him before all of that found a small ounce of comfort in being recognized as a pioneer for the sport, being recognized as a world record setter. maybe, just maybe, in those moments of clarity where he’d think about how cool it actually kind of was that people admired him, he’d think about home and wonder if They were proud of him too. he’d wonder if his family, that little group of five minus one, still thought of him, if they even remembered him anymore.

after the events of cars 1, when doc finally finds it in himself to come out of his shell, that discomfort surrounding how he feels about his past starts to dissipate and he’s able to more thoroughly accept that despite all the bad that happened to him, hes still here, and hes the setter of a world record.

The remake trilogy is actually entirely worth it just to see the hi def panic in Cloud's eyes as he has to improvise a speech

This week I witnessed the dangers of electrostatic discharge in action which broke at least two outlets AND my favorite necklace.

Despite knowing exactly how and why it happened, I have no choice but to believe I am a wizard with a magical amulet that destroys electronics with my kickass sparks.

If you disagree with me, your outlets will be next. Do not underestimate the power I wield with my amulet.
