I am here with the most overanalyzing I have ever done, I think so bear with me. Here, I was thinking if there could there any reason why we witnessed the statue getting moved and realized Wille is standing exactly where the statue was. 
Then from what I found, the statue is called Discobolus, and the discus thrower is depicted as about to release his throw: Just like Wille, moments ago coming forward about the video. But the difference is Wille, unlike the soulless and lifeless statue, which can be dragged from here to there without any capacity to object, can actually complete the task here and he is not helpless and powerless or incapable. He was, for some time but not anymore. He can tell the truth about the video now, he didn’t when he had a chance before, but he can finish what he meant to do. So he can release the throw this time.
The statue is nude too, just like Wille when he confessed it was him in the video. Both in the sense that he is stripping himself away from the lies, which makes him bare and vulnerable and that he is, in fact, naked in the video.

not a rant but just thinking about something, discussion of asexuality and such around that
I didn’t play the new ba/ldur/‘s ga/te (cuz my computer kinda sucks lol) but I’ve observed some of the discussions around it and like. Yeah in the name of sex positivity in games like that one sex can and should be included but also at the same time like. Yeah many games omit sex in their romances already for ratings or other reasons but it would be really really really nice to make the active choice/statement of “I am asexual” and have the character fully accept and support it I guess? Even if I’m not really playing games where that comes up lol. But yeah that’s why I like to imagine my f/os doing that a lot

i wish more people understood that adjusting the price of something for inflation is just scaling dollar amounts by relative buying power and not necessarily an indication of how much a particular good or service would cost in modern times

I know sebchal is your main ship but have any others that you like?
Hello! 👋🏻
This is always a tricky question because I’m the type of person that gets ride or die invested in one particular thing that becomes a hyperfixation and then it consumes me and it’s all I think about day and night. And that’s Sebchal for me (still, even with how everything’s changed and how little content there is and how it’s probably heading towards a natural decline in terms of their product life cycle.)
The only F1 pairing that came close to that feeling for me was Brocedes between like 2015-2017. They were my first ship in this fandom, my gateway into RPF, and generally my biggest hyperfixation (until Sebchal). These days it kind of feels like that chapter is closed, like their story has sort of arrived at an organic conclusion (at least until there’s another Significant Moment that can be woven into the Tapestry of Lore) and that there’s not really anything new to add or explore through writing for example. But I do like to revisit old fics sometimes, especially the ones that were really significant for me (both my own writing as well as beloved fics by other authors). A lot of them stuck with me through the years, to the point where I will vaguely remember the plot or a very specific line from the fic or something. It was a time in this fandom that I look back on fondly. ❤️ Also shout-out to Hulkenrez 😭😭😭 This one feels very retro, most people probably don’t even remember their teammate days anymore, but that was a fun one!
Then there’s the “I like them but not necessarily romantically/not as an endgame pairing” tier. That would be Charles and Alex, Charles and Daniel, Sebastian and Daniel, and Charles and Pierre. Pretty self-explanatory, they’re intriguing options to explore but I don’t have it in me to be a multishipper (as in, shipping one character/driver with more than one person as an OTP) so to me they’re kind of interesting side options but not what I want in the long-term. If that makes sense? They’re not my first option but for example I wouldn’t mind getting gifted a fic/gifset/edit centered around them if someone really wasn’t vibing with Sebchal. That’s kind of where I’m at with these.
Followed by “I don’t ship really them but I totally get the appeal and will occasionally read fics about them if the writing floors me (affectionate)” and this tier features some surprises, including Carlos and Lando and Max and Daniel. I’m not up to date with the lore, I don’t necessarily go down rabbit holes, I probably can’t name Significant Moments off the top of my head, but I’m like, I get it. I’ve read fics about them and probably enjoyed them. It’s about as close to shipping as I can get ajsdkf
Honestly, most of the pairings for me fit into this category of like “no strong opinions either way.” They exist, I don’t really think about them all that often, maybe I will read a fic here or there if it’s really hitting for me, but they don’t rock my world, I probably don’t go looking for content/fics about them on purpose, but I won’t like die if I do come across them/engage with them.
No official tier for this one but I love a good rarepair!! Like if you wrote a Charles/Xavi fic (that doesn’t bash the other party obviously) I would be 👀 Mia/Britta?? Sure, why not!! Charles/Robert Lewandowski?? They do have reverse flags and this mf has been to F1 races in the past. I know Charles/Joris has been tentatively on the rise. Again, why not. Maurizio/Toto??? Hell I have written about them before, we love old men in love. 😤 They’re like fun little side quests or spin-offs from the main story. In conclusion: ✨Rarepairs✨
I started typing out this reply last night actually, but then you inspired me to actually try and coherently explain this via a visual medium, so I made a tier list absolutely no one asked for 😭🙈
TL;DR:
Tumblr media
~check under the cut for the stuff I don’t like~
And finally. The lowest tier. The stuff I just can’t get on board with at all and probably have their tags filtered. And currently the main NOTP for me is Charles and Carlos.
I wasn’t really sure where to place Charles and Max, because they’re not quite on a Charles/Carlos level for me, but at the same time I don’t really vibe with it either? Although over the past year or so I’ve found one-sided unrequited Charles/Max (from Max’s side) might be my guilty pleasure. So they’re going a tier up because I can kind of work with it, while the NOTP is giving me nothing but negative feelings ajsdkfg

hi, so i saw on youre blog, that you also watch "utuskushii kare" i just started watching it ( binged season 1 and ep 1 from season 2, in two days) and i really like it. thought im kinda idk if i should like it. Im kinda into the story , and like the leads together. but they are so problematic. like hira is weird as hell, (and also a little bit problematic, but he still kinda deserves better. Kiyoi is just really really problematic (if we push aside, that he kinda treated him like trash, and still kinda does) the fact that he actualy physical hurts him, is really annyoing to me. Like in the first season, and now in season 2 he still kinda does. Like i know thats the story, about a kinda toxic/problematic realitionship, with 2 problematic teens. (one more then the other) and i like it for what it is, but in reallity i would never approve of this kind of realitionship, and think it should end quickly, and both should get therapy lol
Hey anon! I am a big fan of Utsukushii Kare. I've been captivated by it since it came out. I don't think you should be questioning yourself for liking the series. It's OK to like something while actively admitting it's problematic. Most dramas of any genre feature quite problematic and yet loveable characters.
To be honest most of the relationships we see in these series are not relationships we would truly find romantic in our real lives. Somethings read across better on screen then they ever would in real life. It's fiction and fiction is gifted the luxury of turning something bad into something attractive. A lot of toxic tropes are romanticized in pretty much everything we consume.
That's also why we have the choice to watch it or not.
I do agree that Kiyoi constantly hitting Hira is annoying. It's always been annoying lol. It's clear that even though the 2 of them have been dating for at least 2 or 3 years are still not seeing eye to eye on what they actually are to each other.
Hira is still viewing Kiyoi as a king and Kiyoi is still only reciprocating his feelings of love in short outbursts. He does seem to be trying harder to show Hira that he likes him but Hira just can't seem to fully wrap his mind around being in an actual romantic relationship with the person he idolizes which can be frustrating.
I think Hira is lacking confidence of his permanence in Kiyoi's life. He seems to think Kiyoi would just drop him whenever he feels like which is not the case. I think Kiyoi is going to have to try harder to make Hira feel like he's a solid fixture in his life. He needs to say how he feels and stick to it instead of back tracking or lashing out.
They both still have some growing to do separately and together.
I feel like the issue they had in s1 will be the issue they have in the new season and maybe even amplified. No doubt Kiyoi still seems to be frustrated with how Hira sees him but he's not doing a ton to change it. He likes to be admired. Hira could ultimately back out of their relationship if he feels like his presence is unnecessary in Kiyoi's life. If he wants to stay then he needs to understand that he's Kiyoi's boyfriend and not his servant or his fan and Kiyoi is going to have to stop treating Hira like that when it's convenient for him.
Idk I feel like I'm rambling but Hira and Kiyoi are really complex characters and are really 2 sides of the same coin. Hira has spent his whole life looking for something to love and Kiyoi has spent his whole life wanting to be loved unconditionally. Now that they have found that in each other they need to learn how to build up from it instead of just running around in circles. They both need to understand that it's ok to want more from each other and communicate that so they can grow together.

wait hold on. idk where i heard/read this, and i don’t remember if it was just a hc or actual canon but it was something like “mike gave will the nickname ‘will the wise’” which if that’s true then i’d like to point this out.
will is in love with mike, he has been for like ever. we know this already, it’s canon. but i don’t think that i’ve ever seen anyone point out that the password for castle byers that joyce uses in a flashback in the fuse episode is radagast. now, i’ve never read or seen lotr, but a quick google search told me that radagast is a character from lotr. it’s established previously in the first the episode that the boys are all fans of lotr and the hobbit as they nicknamed the street that will takes home “mirkwood.” will the wise is a wizard, and if mike gave him that nickname, then will using radagast, who is also a wizard, as the password to his private hideout, just adds to the early proof of his canon crush on mike.
(edit: the post i saw was from @wibble-wobbegong )

i feel like the moon knight fandom has looped around to being a little too strong with the "separate people" thing which is why i've used the very specific phrasing of "not the same person."
i'm not really sure how to explain this very well. like if what i'm saying here doesn't make sense please send me an ask with what's confusing because that often helps me clarify my explanations of things, but there's...dissociated parts of one mind, right? you have individuality. i can still remember some of this, okay? i can remember the "switch" i would flip in my brain when i left my house in the morning to go to school.
(not a literal switch; not a "decision." that's just how my baby brain framed it.)
the person i was at school was not the same person i was at home. we are not the same person now. but we are not separate people.

Artist tip: 90 % Principle
Working on a multi painting project with the least pain
Ok so I’m writing a long book with at least a hundred illustrations and part of the reason I’m never posting anything is because everything is a WIP. I have barely any finished paintings but that’s intentional. So, id like to share what i call the 90% principle. Finish 90% of a painting before moving on to the next one. This makes that “my art evolves too much by the end” dilemma much less painful. Like this example of a painting i begun a couple of months ago. I was pretty pleased with this:
Tumblr media
NOW earlier today i was polishing it with the skills i got from painting all the other stuff, and suddenly it looks like this:
Tumblr media
Instead of having to paint everything from scratch, i can just save a lot of time by using my better art skills to finish an old artwork, and then the ‘curve’ is much less drastic. 10/10 would recommend

I think if more men saw sex more as something mutual; about mutually feeling good, rather than seeing it as just a way to get off or rather than seeing themselves as sex dispensers who do sex to their partner, then maybe fewer of them would *purposefully* hold back...
Hhmmm I agree but don't???
I do think there's a large number of men who view sex that way, especially among younger men who really only have porn to copy. I feel since sex ed in the US is lacking people are going to turn towards erotica or porn, and like. There's a bias in porn towards prioritizing cis men's pleasure for sure. I also think there's absolutely a societal bias towards cis men's pleasure as well
But it feels reductive to me to say a lot of cis men just view it as a way to get off? I don't know how to explain it. It's prevalent, that's for sure. I don't necessarily know if a lot of cis men approach it from that mentality. I think it's more a "society has prioritized men's pleasure and also made other bodies ~mysterious and unknowable~"
Honestly? I personally think what you said is true. I also think it ties into toxic masculinity since stoicism is a large part of that. If you're taught to be weird about what you show, of course that's going to carry over to sex. And age I feel like younger men are more likely to hold that view? I still see it in older men, but it feels like there's less of it
Idk sex is complicated emotionally because American society, at the very least, is super weird about it. Like there's no way social dynamics don't play into it, and that includes what you're taught, or not taught

Okay this is a weirdly specific pet peeve but; I hate it when (professional) authors (who could do better) just cobble together a 'fantasy language' that is clearly just latin/ german/ [insert mainstream non-english european language here] by spelling the words weirdly/ overly phonetically. It's extra annoying when they then- by not doing their due diligence- end up muddling conjugations; and creating false languages with English grammar; mispelled words from [european language]; and somehow, 5 grammatical 'genders' because they've just been borrowing 'default' versions of languages.
The worst part is that I can't even be that pissed because I am equally lazy when it comes to language crafting but if you're not gonna try,, just don't try ;-;. I'd rather have author's notes explaining how "This phrase is actually translated from a made up language and more literally could be translated as this"; than some unhinged attempt at esperanto for your one shot minimal lore romantasy. Like, not every fantasy book needs a language!! Tolkien was just a dedicated nerd!!

obviously the idea that trans people should just leave the south is bad for a number of reasons but it's also like. no one ever talks about how you can either go somewhere where everything is literally twice as expensive or go to the frozen lands. 'just buy a good coat and some snow boots' bitch what's a snow boot? I've got work boots and an extra pair of socks. on average we get 5 inches of snow per year and that was before global warming, I've never seen more than 3. I'm working on grad school applications and my options are 59 inches of snow or 129 inches per year. if you've ever said something like 'trans people should just move to a more liberal area', please take off your underground railroad cosplay and give me all your money. between my new coat and the future plane tickets for family funerals, I'm gonna need it.

Hanji will be always with you through your thick and thin. -Phrase meme
A word or Phrase for a headcanon || Accepting
Tumblr media
Through thick and thin.
For Hanji this phrase is loyalty and understanding. It something she is big on. It's okay to question things, but to stand by someone whether you agree or not. For example; Levi's choice with the serum. She may not have made the same choice in the moment, but she supported Levi in his choice, she stood beside him and shouldered the consequences with him.
She is there to pick up the pieces of those that have thinned around her. She didn't have any qualms about teaming up with Pieck, Reiner, Magath, and Annie. She might not have had such a thick bond with them, but their shared interests aligned enough for her to give them the chance.
During her time as Commander, there was a moment she was doing it without Levi while he was with Zeke. You can see the difference in her. This is the toughest part of her life and she doesn't have her support there. The way she reacts seeing him by the river, how she lied about his death, and nursed him back to health. These two are the physical notion of through thick and thin.

for a while i lived in an old house; the kind u.s americans don't often get to live in - living in a really old house here is super expensive. i found out right before i moved out that the house was actually so old that it features in a poem by emily dickinson.
i liked that there were footprints in front of the sink, worn into the hardwood. there were handprints on some of the handrails. we'd find secret marks from other tenants, little hints someone else had lived and died there. and yeah, there was a lot wrong with the house. there are a lot of DIY skills you learn when you are a grad student that cannot afford to pay someone else to do-it-for-ya. i shared the house with 8 others. the house always had this noise to it. sometimes that noise was really fucking awful.
in the mornings though, the sun would slant in thick amber skiens through the windows, and i'd be the first one up. i'd shuffle around, get showered in this tub that was trying to exit through the floor, get my clothes on. i would usually creep around in the kitchen until it was time to start waking everyone else up - some of them required multiple rounds of polite hey man we gotta go knocks. and it felt... outside of time. a loud kind of quiet.
the ghosts of the house always felt like they were humming in a melody just out of reach. i know people say that the witching hour happens in the dark, but i always felt like it occurred somewhere around 6:45 in the morning. like - for literal centuries, somebody stood here and did the dishes. for literal centuries, somebody else has been looking out the window to this tree in our garden. for literal centuries, people have been stubbing their toes and cracking their backs and complaining about the weather. something about that was so... strangely lovely.
i have to be honest. i'm not a history aficionado. i know, i know; it's tragic of me. i usually respond to "this thing is super old" by being like, wow! cool! and moving on. but this house was the first time i felt like the past was standing there. like it was breathing. like someone else was drying their hands with me. playing chess on the sofa. adding honey to their tea.
i grew up in an old town. like, literally, a few miles off of walden pond (as in of the walden). (also, relatedly, don't swim in walden, it's so unbelievably dirty). but my family didn't have "old house" kind of money. we had a barely-standing house from the 70's. history existed kind of... parallel to me. you had to go somewhere to be in history. your school would pack you up on a bus and take you to some "ye olden times" place and you'd see how they used to make glass or whatever, and then you'd go home to your LEDs. most museums were small and closed before 5. you knew history was, like, somewhere, but the only thing that was open was the mcdonalds and the mall.
i remember one of my seventh grade history teachers telling us - some day you'll see how long we've been human for and that thing has been puzzling me. i know the scientific number, technically.
the house had these little scars of use. my floors didn't actually touch the walls; i had to fill them with a stopgap to stop the wind. other people had shoved rags and pieces of newspaper. i know i've lost rings and earring backs down some of the floorboards. i think the raccoons that lived in our basement probably have collected a small fortune over the years. i complain out loud to myself about how awful the stairs are (uneven, steep, evil, turning, hard to get down while holding anything) and know - someone else has said this exact same thing.
when i was packing up to leave and doing a final deep cleaning, i found a note carved in the furthest corner in the narrow cave of my closet. a child's scrawled name, a faded paint handprint, the scrangly numbers: 1857.
we've been human for a long time. way back before we can remember.

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.
#riz gukgak#gorgug thistlespring#fantasy high#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#these kids are all so self-sacrificing but i do think riz gorgug are the most clear (& juxtaposed) self-sacrificers#riz will mentally tear himself to pieces and get lost in cases and take on ungodly levels of stress for those he loves#gorgug will use himself as a human shield. he will take hit after hit if it means his friends are okay.#and they’d both do the other thing too. riz would let himself get hit for gorgug. gorgug would pull all nighters & take stress for riz.#even if mechanically they can’t or it wouldn’t make sense. they would if they could.#also#the starstruck barry mechanic of being a guard is so gorgug. it’s soooo gorgug like that’s literally him#anyways love this tall green guy & this short green guy so much#especially because gorgug is tall & considered intimidating but protective in a deeply kind way#while riz is short & underestimated but protective in a deeply vicious way (affectionate)#i hope this makes sense but i think riz is primarily ‘i would kill for you’ & gorgug is primarily ‘i would die for you’ maybe#this does not mean gorgug would not kill for riz or riz would not die for gorgug. they both would.#but those are the primary ways their love manifests due to the nature of their strengths/personalities. To Me#idk this is all just me saying stuff when i should be sleeping 😭#sorry if i missed a riz gorgug moment in the main post btw i’m tired
