SATURATION

The absolutely incredible @sowizardmentality (top photo) and @cobra-shy (bottom photo) drew these beautiful pieces for the Cobra Kai Reverse Bang, and I'm currently trying my hand at a writing response to them! The first chapter of SATURATION is up on ao3 now! Check it out, and more importantly, go give some love to these incredible artists and all the folks who contributed to @ckreversebang

#cobra kai #my fic #fan art #ckreversebang #this is probably very jarring to ppl who follow me for my harry styles rpf #but alas i contain multitudes and one piece of that pie is sports soap operas #cobra-shy #sowizardmentality #lawrusso

no other cooking show will ever touch og iron chef. the drama! the excitement! the feuds! the judges who were mostly actors and shit instead of ✨food experts✨! chairman kaga's iconic fashion sense and melodramatic way of biting into a bell pepper like it was a fucking apple! squid ink ice cream! HE'S BOILING THE BROCCOLI!!

#this show was literally half soap opera half sports cast #there were heroes #there were villains #there were chefs like kandagawa who came back again and again and finally started sending apprentices #bc they were so determined to beat the iron chefs #if you think that isn't the most dramatic shit to ever happen on a food show #oh my god #iron chef #food #tv shows #90s tv shows

still can’t believe our space racing au got canonised in the form of the hermitcraft grand prix and false even won it all just like the au. also false and ren getting one of the quickest times on the course just like them winning in the au. their au lore is based on blue9 but now they’ve actually gone and won at racing. love wins

#exterra1 no longer a gay sport it’s a bi sport now #space opera au #it’s been like two weeks. still not over it

“Marzi, why are you thinking about historical women’s body hair right now?”

well, I’ll tell you.

first of all, I’m turning 30 on April 2nd. kind of a big birthday, so I’m planning a Fancy Party with some close friends. and for that party, I’m making myself a brand-new c. 1879 evening gown. deep red silk taffeta, self scalloping, black lace, rose theme, etc. very exciting. I was talking to my mother about  this and mentioned that it would be sleeveless

“oh.” she said. “well, some people might. get distracted from the dress by underarm fuzzies. and you don’t want that happening, so you might want to...”

(she was referring to my rather lax body hair removal policy, namely: If It Annoys Me, I’ll Do Something About It. this drives her crazy, because a conventionally unacceptable amount of it doesn’t annoy me)

to which I responded, “Mother. at least some of the women who originally wore this style didn’t remove armpit hair” 

depilatories did exist and were used cosmetically, and you can find erotic images of Victorian women who have hairless armpits, but the concern seemed to be much more about facial hair and hair on the arms themselves

and now I’m on a research tear on Google Books, as is my wont

#personal #armpit hair #body hair #women's history #social history #I'm mostly curious as to whether women really WERE sporting pit hair with sleeveless evening gowns #or if it then became a Removal Situation because it would be seen #I found at least two mentions of women in sleeveless gowns with hairy armpits- one of them opera singer Dame Nellie Melba #(that was in 1897) #but most photos are posed with the arms down so. that's unhelpful

One-off Lambo alert!

Huracan Sterrato ‘Opera Unica'

Lamborghini has created a one-off version of the Huracan Sterrato, dubbed the Opera Unica in line with the supercar maker’s 60 the anniversary this year, wearing a special paint scheme “inspired by the vibrant blues of Sardinia’s seas and skies.”

The Opera Unica interpretation of the Huracán Sterrato boasts of a hand-painted exterior that employs three colours – Blu Amnis as the first solid colour, which is etched into by hand with Blu Grifo paint as the second colour, finished by a third, Blue Fedra, in a paint process that takes 370 hours in total.

The one-off car’s exterior gets matte black paint for its roof, sills, front lamp casings, front and rear splitters as well as fenders. the wheel arch protection shrouds are also painted matte black, and house a set of matte black ‘Morus’ 19-inch alloy wheels.

This blue theme is carried into the car’s interior with exposed carbon-fibre, where the seats, door panels and console are upholstered in Blu Delphinus leather. Its dashboard is trimmed in Alcantara of the same colour, while the steering wheel gets a combination of the two materials.

A lighter shade, Celeste Pheobe is used in complementary panels, trim piping and embroidery including the Lamobrghini logo. A seat panel graphic is applied in silver by laser, while the starter button cover on the centre console is finished in the exterior’s crystal effect paint.

Thinking about taking some fun classes next year, what do you guys think would be cool skills to learn?

#going to try to do as many as possible #I’ve done some sport climbing but the others would be totally new to me #i took up writing this year #and started trying to learn to draw #i want to attend more cultural events as well like ballets and operas #also trying to visit 20 countries by age 30 I’m 2 away from my goal #probably going to New Zealand next #quiz #what shall I learn? #classes #hobbies

Adam Cole and MJF's whole relationship is really that "I can fix him" "I can make him worse" meme, huh?

#and somehow they're BOTH failing #adam cole #mjf #adamjf #aew #aew dynamite #sports opera

[bredforloyalty]

won't translate all of that but it's along the lines of "imagine instead of football it's the circus that's culturally relevant and jugglers and clowns get traded between troupes for trillions and massive tents and theatres are built everywhere for massive amounts of money and politicians talk about how significant circus is for their country culturally and economically and bald men scream their lungs out in arenas while rabbits are pulled out of top hats and circus hooligans wreck the trolley on the way home and the next day men are discussing that one sawing in half trick on circus themed talk shows. that's how ridiculous i find football"

#i don't think i can translate kopasz egybenyakú férfi or megbaszunk zoli bohóc or even höj höj höj accurately 😔 am not qualified and don't #really want to. #but know that this is how i feel about football. insert john green tweet that says sport is theater it's a cultural artifact and it's much #closer to opera than it is to carpentry or management consulting. #kata.txt

gonna be honest not looking forward to the inevitable oco gas discourse that will arise from that dts episode.

#the way some people talk about that episode just based on the description and the title... yeah no thanks #tbf i hate the discourse around them just in general too so #would be nice if certain fans remembered sometimes that this is a sport and not a scripted soap opera but whatever

#the first time i thought it was like. surprise malware that screams at you #then i thought somehow a different tab had started playing a sports game or sth??? but no!! just this fucking website #also it's interrupted my rock operas at least a couple times and that is unforgivable #tumblr

meanwhile this has been me my entire life up until now

#i have ZERO interest in other sports #especially if there's a ball involved #other sports don't have soap opera drama so i dont care
