I humbly ask for Nando babysitting cheeky little Lando 🙏 cuz every Nando and Lando crumb I see is honestly too cute
no because i can see it!!! Nando claims he’s too old to be “doing the babysitting” *gestures vaguely*
but Daniel’s at his wits end, Lando will not fall asleep, it’s a Sunday night post race which means they’re both knackered. Lando however, has decided he wants Carlos. Carlos who had to fly out the same night because of commitments and has no cell service on the plane.
so Lando’s been crying, wailing really. desperately clutching onto Daniel with “want Papa!”, overly tired but not giving in.
Daniel doesn’t know what to do really, Lando’s finally quieted down a little, but he’s blinking big red rimmed eyes at Daniel that don’t look like they’re gonna shut any time soon.
Lando’s voice is rough from crying, and so Daniel tries room service for some tea, only to find out they don’t have 24 hour room service, Daniel’s almost desperate enough to use the “do you know who the fuck I am?” card; considering the price they’re paying per night and how badly he needs Lando to fall asleep, but hoists both him and Lando out of bed after being told there’s a self service floor that has a coffee machine that serves boiling water too.
he holds Lando’s hand in hopes of preventing a tantrum when they step into the hallway, Daniel praying no one else is awake at this ungodly hour.
to his surprise, they almost bump into Fernando when the round the corner who gives them a just as a surprised look.
“You’re up?”
Daniel sighs, pulling Lando into his side when he can hear the sniffles start up again. “We’re having a bit of trouble falling asleep, huh Bub?”
Daniel can see Fernando melt a little at the sight of Lando, soft despite the tough reputation.
“Niñito.” Fernando coos. “It’s late, little boys should be asleep.”
Lando simply whines, tears gathering in his eyes again. “Papa.”
Fernando looks up at Daniel, who mouths “Carlos” to him and he nods knowingly.
“Entiendo.” Fernando says and then reaches out for Lando, who, to Daniel’s surprise, goes willingly.
Fernando wraps Lando’s up against his chest and Lando melts into the touch so much he even brings his legs up.
Fernando hoists him up with little effort, Daniel’s not surprised. He’s seen Fernando’s workout routine and has definitely never won an arm wrestling match.
Fernando start humming something in Spanish then, speaking words Daniel does not understand and gently swaying Lando from side to side.
He sings no longer than 5 minutes and so when Fernando turns to Daniel and asks “Is he out?” while turning around fully so Daniel gets a look at Lando’s face mushed against Fernando’s shoulder he’s ready to be met with wide open eyes. But Lando’s out. Out cold even, mouth slightly open and drooling onto Fernando’s shirt.
“What the fuck.” Daniel says, loudly. Then clasps a hand over his mouth, terrified he’ll wake Lando again.
Fernando laughs, turns back to face Daniel. “Figured that would work.”
“What did you do? Did you hex him?”
Fernando laughs again. “It’s a lullaby, a classic really. I figured Carlos might sign it to him, lucky guess.”
Daniel slumps against the wall, rubbing his hands over his face. “Congratulations.” Daniel says. “You’ve just been upgraded.”

"sex is a vital part of the human experience", "love is a vital part of the human-"
No!
You know what's really a vital part of the human experience!?
Petting a soft and fluffy animal!

There’s a huge difference between teaching religion and practicing/preaching religion in schools.
Religion is a part of social studies and history that should be taught to children, as it’s involved in, and in many times is the basis of, huge world events and conflicts. We should absolutely be exposing children to the various different religious practices throughout the world and giving them quality information on what religion is and isn’t so as not to be influenced by the misinformation spread by religious extremists and bigots.
However, acknowledging and teaching about religion in school should absolutely not include the act of praying or persuading. Children shouldn’t have to swear their allegiance to their country every morning under a god they don’t have the information to decide whether they believe in, or listen to their teacher or coach preach and pray before they learn or play sports. This is completely different from and is outside the realm of education.
So, when I say religion should be kept out of schools, I don’t mean it shouldn’t be taught.

woke up thinking about geralt w/ baby ciri instead of 12 year old ciri, carrying her back to kaer morhen with a little milk goat, maybe inviting jaskier along to help(because he's kind of terrified and he doesnt want to make the journey alone even though he has a hundred times before), and like. the moment all her lil baby babbling coalesces into calling geralt dada. and reaching for him and asking for him and pulling on his hair. while he just.... loses his mind cuz he's dad.....

random Ga'hoole thought
because I have brain rot
the Crows are as smart if not smarter on average than the Owls. They just have very different lifestyles on top of being active at different times of a day.
Yes this means crows will be having a philosophical debate one moment, they spot a hapless owl and decide to mug them, then go back to debating when they get bored of harassing the owl

Your control - (a poem by me, Reggie/Jullian/Forest)
I want to rip apart my body
And light my soul on fire
Cause every little incident
Fails to inspire
I’m tearing apart your puppet stings
And all of your wires
Cause every little memory
Rips away all my desires
I’m sick of your contact
And all of your things
I want out of this house
And away from your stings
Away from all the terror
And all of the pain
I can’t see the difference
Between love and hate
Your eyes no longer sparkle
No longer spark joy
All they spark is anger
With a hope to destroy
And now this house is empty, and so is my heart
I can’t believe this actually tore us apart

to the friend who includes CoVid safety information in their invitations to me
And believes me when I say I can't make it because I'm too tired
And doesn't take it personally
And said to me when I was hesitant to commit to our first more formal Plans due to my health ups-and-downs:
We don't hold our friends fast to social commitments, so if you have a health issue or just don't feel social that day, it's fine to say so.
And I WAS able to make it and had a lovely time.
Their understanding is why we can be friends and I so appreciate them

thinking about eddie getting arrested one night by Hopper and officer whats-his-face and when they turn their backs on him for a second he fucking bolts.
hands cuffed behind his back he books it down the street and they're both chasing him, and it plays out like the scene from super bad, neither of them can catch him cuz he's wicked fast and they just end up panting in the middle of the road as he jangles his way into the distance, Hopper with his hands on his knees, gasping for breathe like "he's a freak. He's the fastest kid alive."
