Your windows are down just enough that the blundering wind doesn’t make dubstep in your ears. The night is darkly dark - lightless - save for the headlights that you can’t believe are as bright as they go. Everything is sound and movement while your dad’s or dad’s dad’s music is drowned out by the tumult of your trip as you barrel through shadow.

Suddenly it’s there, appearing without seeming to approach.

Big as life and twice as shocking:

Bigfoot

Sasquatch

The Skunk Ape

There’s no time to stop and you dare not DARE NOT SWERVE

AT THIS SPEED

IN THIS DARK

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH

You punch the gas

You nail the missing link dead center mass

His figure flips end over end

He’s only two dimensional

How in

How can that be

He spins on his equator in your rear view

Red tail lights illuminating a shocked two dimensional expression

Unmoving as he spins and glitters

Your dashboard lights up

You’ve never seen this indicator before:

MULTIBALL

From the black wood to either side of you two identical 2011 Toyota Rav 4s burst like stampeding rhinos

You cannot take your eyes of the road

You mustn’t

Yet you chance it

Your own face, your own disbelief

And again

And then understanding

Three jaws set

Three grins drawn

Weaving like a French Braid

Hammer down

Dial cranked

Drowning out the wind

REO Speedwagon - Riding the Storm Out (Live)

The night is forever

This night is only now

Thundering dark and fast forever

We are still 36 hours out & he is already losing his voice.

This is definitely not the worst storm I've seen & for most Floridians, this isn't our first rodeo by any means, but wow, people are freaking out over this one. Yes, the rapid intensification is bad, but it has been really since Irma. It's not like we didn't know that the waters in the Gulf are like 90 Fahrenheit. This is an effect of climate change.

Prepare accordingly & follow the old adage: you hide from the wind, run from the water. If you are in a flood zone, evacuate now. The rest of you not in storm surge or flooding areas, just calm down & ride it out. If you are on the eastern side of the track (myself included), don't be shocked if there are some tornadoes or tornado warnings.

Be like me & just watch Twister during the hurricane! Also, make sure your extra battery packs are charged. Look for recipes now for Hurricanes just in case you lose wifi.

Also, for the non-Floridians, there will be people out doing stupid stuff. It's Florida. You shouldn't be surprised by this.

Every time i think about the zones i get distraught over the fact that the killjoys cant reach the beach which like isn't even something touched in canon maybe they can who knows but just in headcanon worldbuilding im like yeah lol cant get there for reasons ill elaborate on one day(basically the city is in the way) and just break my own heart because i just. I just know in my heart that Kobra Kid would absolutely fucking shred those barrels. That boy would surf!! We were robbed of beach killjoys and one day yes i will write an au where they can access the beach and i can finallly explore the zones surf culture that lives in my head just as much as the zones racing and skating culture does

#i am the NUMBER ONE Kobra Kid surfer bro truther #cherri would also surf and he's absolutely a legend at it he taught Kobra #i think jet would too but would do less tricks like kobra does she'd focus more on getting a good long ride in versus showing off lol #and she wouldnt do the storm runs like kobra does where he risks his life catching the fucking fifty foot waves and stuff #like that one video of the guy during the hurricane or something with the weather guy narrator going like there is a GUY out there!!!!?!?! #and the wave crashes and hes like OH NO but then the surfer comes out of the wave mist and theres the music going BRRFBBFNEMRRN #wheres that video when i need it. thats kobra kid #ttlotfk #danger days #the true lives of the fabulous killjoys #mcr danger days #kobra kid #danger days headcanons

WAIT. WAIT. fr the reverse au i just had a thought but. What if the Flags were a vigilante group totally seperate from the mafia and the ada. And they play a part in the 15 arc too. They want to recruit Chuuya to their team, meanwhile Daz is trying to convince him that the Sheep suck and he shouldn't stay with them, all the while Rimbaud and the Mafia are trying to kill him. So like. Three organizations playing hot potato with this one(1) fifteen year old child who DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS SHIT. (pspspstt the flags totally win. For now.)

#and then STORM BRINGER happens amd its a mess all over again #bsd #chuuya #the flags #you know how apparently Ice Man was sent to assassinate chuu during his sheep days #well that but actually he was scouting him out on behalf of Pianoman the leader. he did it Ice Man typical fashion of attempted murder ofc #i had a two hour train ride to think about the logistics of this lol #not art #reverse au

borrower hurricane parties must go hard as hell. like, after the humans evacuated, when they’re just left in the home alone with all the humans’ stuff, you can’t tell me they don’t invite all of their friends and go absolutely nuts in that house during the storm

#hurricane parties are when you and your friends all ride out the storm together. while PARTYING #last hurricane party i attended i almost died 💖 #i love to glamorize my party era but i am also glad i havent had a near death experience in a while

Arthur Morgan is my muse at this point

#vark posts #this is a redraw of a ss i took in game #how the hell does he still look that pretty while struggling to ride through a storm lmao #i blacked out in a frenzy and when i came to this was on my page /j #i might post the full page when im done with it #its literally all Arthur LOL #rdr2 #Arthur Morgan #my art #vark art #🖍️ #red dead redemption 2

A frigate in a storm and how the ship was prepared 

The frigate USS President riding out a storm in 1802, as depicted by Antoine Roux. The ship’s crew have sent down the upper yards and “housed” the topmasts to reduce wind resistance aloft.

continuing to rotate margaret houlihan in my head (it will continue), and today's observation is that she NEEDS structure, and becomes a holy terror when she's trying to create it herself. not to always be comparing my faves to dogs (affectionate) but she's an Experienced Handlers Only working dog, and under henry's "let's just all be cool" style of leadership, she gets nervy and starts biting people. she's constantly going over his head because he's not giving orders The Right Way. she can't let it slide when hawkeye and trapper aren't toeing the line, even though it'll only bring her grief. she bullies her staff over minor infractions, and it's not even effective!! because while they're in henry's office crying about her harsh methods, she's also in there complaining that she can't control them.

then potter shows up, and her behavior changes. the second he calls her to attention, her objection to her and frank losing power disappears. she's not chaining nurses to their beds anymore. she appeals to him when she disagrees in deluge, but there's no threat that she'll do an end run around him, which used to be her go-to move. she even relaxes long enough to join in the jeep fun for a minute (even though it's "beneath her" as an officer), and enjoys it! she's not nice, her personality hasn't changed, but it's all bark. she's content to have a solid place in the pecking order and is no longer fueling chaos by frantically trying to control it.

#and of course there just ISN'T as much camp chaos in season 4 (except in her relationship which has become a real wild ride) #it would be very interesting to see how a hawkeye-and-trapper vs. frank-and-margaret season would have played out with potter in charge #since hawkeye's pretty beaten down in s4 and isn't much of a troublemaker on his own #and margaret is conspicuously absent from the episodes where she'd have to take a stance on frank being the chaos element #(except the gun one where she just stays in her tent) (so maybe we can assume that's what's happening in the others too) #(like for whatever reason she just wasn't around for frank's reign of terror in the novocaine mutiny so she can opt out of the trial part) #have fun storming the castle babe (quietly to herself: what the fuck) #mashblogging #margaret houlihan

i like that hitoya’s bike is important enough for him to manifest it as his speaker but it’d be nice to see him doing more with it imo 😕😕😕

#this is vee speaking #like we only see him talk about it in auxiliary media like the hypster magazine or the fc site #like i just think if it’s THAT important to him he should be shown riding it or working on it or whatever lol #and it would be nice to know why it is that important to him lol!!!!!! #like not all speakers are a manifestation of a trauma (most notably bb) so it’s fine if hitoya’s are the odd man out with bat’s #he’s 3gumi that’s what they do lol #but i wonder if it’s something else????? #bat’s speakers i think have a weathering the storm theme with kuukou’s bronze turned green from withstanding the elements speakers #to jyushi’s battered umbrella and uhhhhh the thunderous roar of a bike’s engine for hitoya lmao #this one always falls apart when i think about hitoya’s speakers lol since idk why hitoya’s bike is so important to him #maybe i need to revisit his wave radio uhhhhhhhhh—

Expect lots of hurricane jokes the next couple days from me as FL begins to batten down the hatches for Idalia.

As a born Floridian, at this point, my biggest concerns are procuring my storm snacks & an appropriate amount of rum so I can make hurricanes during the hurricane.

For those concerned please see below. No panicking yet, but Jim Cantore is on his way to FL.

#florida #florida life #hurricane season #idalia #hurricane party #life as a floridian #where is the rum? #where in the world is jim cantore #rule number 7 #hurricane idalia #ride it out #i will also be watching Twister #tropical storm idalia

Never been airsick in my life, not once in all my years of flying, no matter how bad the turbulence gets.

First flight in five years and guessss who's been nauseated since the tail end of the first of three flights 🙃

#can't stare out the window at the clouds and I'm sad about it #at least they're short flights #but cmon man i get enough of this on long car rides 😭 #file: storm has thoughts

#Queen anne's lace | Daucus carota #Pulled from a roadside wildflower tangle on a whim. Date sometime before 24 August 2022. #While riding bikes to visit makeshift museum of twisted metal. #I rode slow alongside my mom. probably. it's a blurry memory. #On a tiny island on a sea sized lake #shallow and full to the brim with fossils and dead fish and broken glass. #An island that gave my mother her name. one of my favorite places. where i imagine storms when im angry #My first memory of this plant is old. #My mom pushing my sisters in a red double stroller in the summertime. #Turning the bend near our home. #Or walking toward my grandparents house in late August. maybe. i dont remember #Just that she told me it was queen Anne's lace and I patted my face with it like a powder puff. #Its tiny white flowers branching out blurry like a globular cluster pressed flat. Like stars huddled around the mass of a tiny velvet purpl #flower. a flower that makes me feel small and needy. with tiny hands and tiny worries. #...usually i write these things off thr top of my head but this one was prewritten. i just feel too insecure to make writing posts that can #be reblogged 😬 but anyway im writing entries for the handful of pressed flowers thst i have. idk y i grabbed this one bc it was the 1st #i just always liked queen anne's lace. childhood nostalgia and all that i suppose #unrelated #also i say it was prewritten but when i wrote it. it was still just brain vomit without editing lil

i told myself i’d at least post a vague outline of it; so i do have my own “into the linkverse” type au in mind where post-totk link goes missing and zelda is sort of the mc who keeps stumbling upon other links as they appear mysteriously around hyrule and they have to band together to get him back and send everyone else back home or something but i don’t know what to call it. “the missing link” is a little too on the nose

it’s a little fucked up like the universe going “is This your card? is This your card? is THIS your card? is THIS—“ over and over and zelda’s like no that’s not the right one. please i miss my friend tails i miss him a lot

it’s also not that good because it’s literally just like a mental lollipop for my brain to suck on as i fall asleep each night (i came up with that metaphor once and now i can’t stop saying it because it’s true)

each link “spawns” (idk) in a particular place or kind of place that i think fits them. and i came up with the idea that they have to use a certain item to… somehow get totk link back idk how or why but it seemed fitting for a tloz quest. also there is a Mysterious Villain behind it all but idk who yet it might just be an original guy but maybe they’re aided by past villains who also got eeby deeby’d

anyway this is. a list i made. i do not remember the exact story of every game so it’s really spitballing (hence “little magic shard thingy”) so forgive me if i got things wrong but each link is taken from a certain point during their journey or sometimes after, whichever my brain thought was most compelling at the time

i’m still not sure if albw link would be there tbh but it’s not a fully formed thing yet anyway so maybe

also dark link is there buts he’s like an Ultra Dark Link who can change form/shapeshift to match whatever link he’s facing and it was conjured by whoever the villain is i guess

i don’t even know what happens to totk link he’s just. not there sorry

also the totk sages would be present i’m sure but i actually kind of forgot they would logically want to help but yeah

anyway. idk what else to say besides i’m not a writer unfortunately i just generate images in my mind that have dialogue and it’s great. in my head at least

#this is where the image of classic link bleeding out in front of wind came from #because of Ultra Dark Link #there is a scene in my mind where he gets fucked up but he’s fine afterward don’t worry #the legend of zelda #loz #my post #i debated even giving it main tags it’s stupid but i sorta kinda want to talk about it #also another scene in my mind is alttp link riding on wolf tp links back and they’re having a good time :) #also as much as i would like imagining the hero of time after everything i’m also like Ok but what about fresh-faced hero of time #who’s still a kid inside and maybe even still thinks he’s a kokiri #honey you got a big storm comin! #linkverse au
