i don't care what the director says, to me claire survived. she literally went "i actually feel really uncomfortable right now and i'm gonna leave" the moment the social function started getting the slightest bit weird, and dipped. bravest, most ballsy move in all of horror.
February 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's The Valentino Rossi Files: Everything I've ever written about VR: From 2008 to now):
During the winter the nine-time champ spent more time than usual thrashing round his dirt track ranch, keeping himself mentally and physically sharp and getting used to a motorcycle moving around beneath him. He knows that Marc Marquez’s ability to ride on the ragged edge with a more muscular, more sideways style is changing MotoGP, so he needs to change with it.
Rossi may never look as spectacular as Marquez on a dirt bike or a MotoGP bike, but both his former and current crew chiefs believe he can do better than he did last year, when Marquez made him look rather second rate.
Rossi on inviting Marquez to the ranch:
"Yeah, for sure, a lot of time. But I think that Emilio [Alzamora, Marquez's manager] is not very happy that Marc come because he said that after we make a race and maybe it's dangerous." (x)
A Sideways Glance at Misano 2014, including pre-event karting on Wednesday night where Marquez reportedly struggled:
Misano 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's Valentino Rossi: All His Races):
^ Márquez won the first ten races of 2014 and this was the first time all year he was beaten in a straight duel. He couldn't handle Rossi's pace at Misano, so he ended up losing the front and falling.
Valentino was fast throughout practice and secured his first front-row start of 2014. [Rossi was asked after qualifying about the threat posed by Marquez and Lorenzo, identifying Lorenzo as the favourite before adding, "But you never know with Marc. He's a bastard."] In the race he rode better than in years, hanging his upper body inside the motorcycle more than ever before to increase turning.
He snatched the lead from Lorenzo and then fended off Márquez, who struggled to find enough grip to match Vale. At one-third distance the world champion pushed it too far and slid off, so Vale cruised home 1.6 second ahead of Lorenzo. His crew had done a great job of creating maximum grip via adjustment to chassis balance and electronics set-up.
His 107th GP victory showed he was once again as fast as anyone, because when he won at Assen 2013 he didn't have to beat Márquez, Lorenzo or Pedrosa, who were all injured.
"It's fantastic to come back to victory again," he beamed after his first win with [new crew chief Silvano] Galbusera. "I knew we could fight and I pushed from the start. I always work hard and never give up and trust that days like this can happen."
^ The breakthrough win at Misano. For the first time since his return to Yamaha he had gone head-to-head with Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Márquez and beaten them both. From this moment another world title was a possibility.

Aragon 2014 press conference:
Rossi: Revenge at the ranch! No, first of all, we enjoy a lot, because have a lot of riders and also from superbike and a lot of bike on the track and was a good day, yeah. Marc was very fast, already fast like me at the first time, as always, and I think he did the best lap time but I won the race so is 1-1, so is... come si dice, pareggio pareggio [tied].
Marquez: Yeah, yeah, was really nice, you know, I was really [impressed] to see his circuit, his home, because in the future I would like to have, because was impressive and riding there was all the riders was really nice and... like Valentino says, we were there fighting together like in Misano race more or less, but yeah... the important thing is that we enjoy it and was really nice to ride there with him and also with the other riders.

The mod loves Logan Marshall-Green and there are some very interesting ideas and imagery throughout, but if she's honest, the mod watched this years ago and does not remember much of it.
Wick/probably most au’s warning: mentions of death… that’s it

Lilian is a mastermind of games.
… ok that’s the point with most kids at a young age but I do have an actual point.
Even though her death is the most saddest… she isn’t all that bothered until she saw her missing siblings and it all came crashing down with realisation, sadness and anger.
Then she tried making the most of her undead life by making up games for her and her brothers to play with while time passes.
Even making up new games, whether it’s something competitive for Caleb and Tim, mind games for Benny and Tom, or just plain old fun games for them all together.
Though personally she prefers pretend games with honey bunny and her brothers, except only Tim and Tom make it to one of her tea parties and important meetings.

I’m starting to think Lilian made the game wick after the candles were placed in their property...
Matt describing Revolt as "leading a revolution, but in the style of a Broadway musical" makes everything make sense. That explains the slight sheen on the song, vocals and guitars: there's just a bit of campness in this revolution. Of fucking course. Because it's scripted and led by Muse!
people coming for rachel zegler for saying that her snow white will be learning lessons and having a character arc in the film, calling her “hateful and disrespectful” to snow... i have to laugh.
i love the animated snow white. she’s in my top three disney princesses. it is not a drag on her to say that snow white learns no lessons over the course of her film, and has no character arc, because she doesn’t.
what she has is a personality and a plot and many admirable character traits but she does not have an arc and she is pretty darn static, and that’s fine! this movie will be doing different things and that’s fine, too! (if it’s going to do them well is another matter entirely, but one we cannot judge until the movie is out. i was blessed by cinderella and burned by beauty and the beast so i’m firmly giving a hesitant benefit of the doubt to this and the little mermaid alike.)
i am more on the fence about rachel’s comments calling snow white a dated character - i think elements of snow white are dated, to be sure, but not everything about her is - but to act as though she’s disrespecting the legacy of disney’s snow white and? disrespecting adriana caselotti? is a joke.
