“apollo wrote the hamilton musical in pjo” “hermes wrote the hamilton musical in pjo” you fools. ¿have you forgotten who the greek god of theatre is?

#fun fact in ancient times at the festival of dionysus they’d hold competitions judging various features plays against each other #anyways my headcanon is that he made it before getting banished and hermes and apollo found it after he left #though it would be hilarious if it was some hellish coproduction where the three of them teamed up #probably ruined a few lives in the process #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #apollo #apollo pjo #hermes #hermes pjo #dionysus #mister d #dionysus pjo #lin manuel miranda #hamilton musical #hamilton

… and so it continues.

The way that Williams Racing has nearly completely lost the lovable underdog reputation they have carefully cultivated over the last few seasons in record time needs to be studied.

#this just makes me more determined to cheer for logan sargeant than ever #how does the team ever expect him to improve if they do not give him any of the tools necessary to do so? #i get that it is a competitive sport and hard decisions have to be made … but don’t sign a driver you clearly can’t be bothered to trust #the fact that logan sargeant continues to be punished for someone else’s mistake in the supposed pinnacle of motorsport is embarrassing #formula 1 and williams racing should be ashamed #i bet that andretti would have had a spare chassis ready to go 🙃 #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #aus gp 2024 #australian gp 2024 #japan gp 2024 #japanese gp 2024 #logan sargeant #ls2 #williams racing #williams f1

Eddie posts a Tiktok way too early in the morning for a weekend . His hair is frizzy. It’s somehow hot and wet. He’s being eaten alive by mosquitoes while sitting in a folding chair in a field.

When he pans the camera over a little more, you see Nancy sitting next to him in her own folding chair (her’s has cup holders). Eddie’s just like, “POV: when your same gendered spouse randomly joins a co-ed summer soccer league.”

And then him and Nancy wince at the same time because Steve and Robin somehow kicked each other instead of the ball.

#I think separately Steve and Robin are competitive but as a team they are insane #The party actually banned them from being partners for charade because they’re basically mind-melded #Neither Eddie or Nancy care about soccer but they’re here for support and they will remain here #until Nancy murders the guy that keeps trying to get the crowd to do the wave #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #nancy wheeler

Not to weigh in here but she is absolutely a Titan not an Outlaw.

But also - Jason nearly HALF the Outlaws are also Titans. If you didn't want to be competing with your big brother as the favorite maybe you shouldn't of made a team with two of his exes.

@brieflyimpossiblecreation Fun! I did end up going with a more human but to the left character design to fit in better with my idea of where they were in cannon. Part two

-----------

To say that things had gone terribly would be an understatement. The Ghost Investigation Ward had tried out their latest Weapon of Mass Destruction™️ meant to tear a hole open into the Infinite Realms so they could send in a different WoMD™️ (they clearly hadn't taken the Fenton's refusal to give them access to their portal well)

Fortunately for Team Phantom the Weapon didn't actually open a hole into the Infinite Realms.

Unfortunately for Team Phantom it did open a interdimensional portal to somewhere. And because Danny seemed to be lucks favorite punching bag he was sucked into said portal. Naturally Sam and Tucker were pulled in as well, because they were Ride or Die definitely not because they had been too close to get away in time; really.

While Danny's luck was bad Sam and Tucker had relatively decent luck which seemed to help cancel it out giving them the advantage of falling into a cornfield; a blow Sam was able to soften with usage of her power courtesy of being an exemplary host for Undergrowth.

---------

A man waded through piles of snapped corn stalks. He'd been on his early morning rounds when the crash had sounded in the early morning quiet.

As he came upon the crash site he noticed three small bodies, small compared to those he interacted with in the daily to be exact. Three teenagers stared back at him. All three had eyes so bright they were almost neon and slightly pointed ears. The one who's skin was tinted a blue color appeared to have fangs. The one with the neon violet eyes and hair so dark it seemed to suck the shadows into was looking at the corn that leaned towards her like sunflowers to the sun. The last, who smelled of a hot desert day and had breath thag sounded like radio static opened his mouth but the man spoke before he had the chance.

"Martha! Get the guest rooms ready. It happened again!"

#*holds up the Kent parents* I just think they're neat #ik OP probably meant the Justice League meeting them but i thought this would be a perfect set up for shenanigans #The league goes by the Kent farm and see three alien teens chilling w/Kon and are like??? #Kon: new siblings! #dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #my post #I tried to be funny and realized halfway through that im not actually funny😔 #which is wild bc i was literally on a competitive improv team for years #DPDCCropCircles

Omega assigns "FAVORITE MEATBAG STATUS" to whoever does something that he likes and you better believe that Rouge and Shadow compete tooth and fucking nail for it.

#team dark #rouge the bat #shadow the hedgehog #e-123 omega #sth #shadow's bids for the win are usually subtle and private enough so that Rouge doesn't have time to one-up him about it #she'll walk into the apartment like 'I'm still your favorite aren't I?' only to SCREAM when Omega's like 'NO :)' #someone else asks why Omega does it and he's all like 'COMPETITION BREEDS INNOVATION.'

one day people will write about doctors telling people to exercise more for literally any and all condition and regardless of the safety or efficacy of this advice the same way we write about arbitrary bloodletting in the early modern period

#thinking about the gastroenterologist who told me to exercise more #a) without first asking me how much exercise i did (i cycled 5 miles to the appointment) #b) without asking whether exercise ever affected my symptoms (i used to be a competitive irish dancer and no difference) #and c) despite the fact i was under the care of the physio team for an injured knee #and had been explicitly advised against weight bearing exercise #in particular impact exercise like jogging #and he recommended jogging. to cure my stomach problems #guess what. turned out my internal organs are in the WRONG FUCKING PLACE #would exercise fix this. a clue: no.

i just think if ferrari and rbr gave their drivers stickers and made it a competition to see who can get more stickers on the enemy they would get phenomenal pr material. the ferrari boys are so competitive with each other they’d be going to extremes to hunt down the rbr boys and get more stickers on them/their stuff. checo would do his happy to be included smile as he stuck a single sticker on one of the cars and called it a day and it would be mildly charming. and don’t get me started on the unhinged chaos of unleashing max and charles on one another in a barely controlled competitive environment

#i have a vision #a vision I believe in #a vision that will continue to grow and take new forms as i manifest it aggressively #IT WOULD BE FUN. IT WOULD BE #inter team competition AND intra team competition??? #perfect for f1! #GIVE IT TO ME NOW I BEG #charles leclerc #max verstappen #f1 #lestappen #red bull racing #scuderia ferrari #carlos sainz #checo perez #*delphi #rbr-ferrari sticker war

soapghost circus au

ghost’s an extreme motorcycle stunt performer - globe of death, riding on his back wheel along tightropes, that sort of thing

soap’s a fire breather/dancer. he’s a roaming performer; he just finds empty spaces or bored people and starts twirling

he pretends not to notice the way he always wanders towards a certain tent every night to watch a certain masked daredevil defy gravity. he thinks he's slick and that ghost won't notice him in the crowd, completely forgetting that he's carrying something that happens to be on fire

ghost couldn't miss him if he tried

one day off, soap's trialing fire whips; he loves the loud crack and the way the flame licks through the air and maybe he's a little too impatient to practice with non flaming whips first, even though he's never used one before

he's covered in soot and fine welts where the tip of the whip keeps flicking back up at him, cutting through his shirt and stinging his skin but he doesn't let that stop him. it starts to stick to him, damp with sweat and blood and he's quick to strip it off; throwing it to the side to keep practicing

when soap finally gets a few good cracks in a row and breaks to celebrate, he almost jumps out of his skin when he sees the masked rider leaning against a trailer watching him

of all the times he's wanted ghost to talk to him, this is not one of them

he wanted to impress him, dance for him with his flaming batons and be mesmerised by his fluidity and skill

not catch him filthy and struggling with something as basic as a whip

he's ready for ghost to ream him out for not having control over the whip - he's known throughout the circuit for expecting utter perfection in his routines - but when ghost finally does speak, it's only to ask if he's done for the day

soap falters for a moment. he wanted to get some consistency with the whip before he stopped, but he's starting to feel the hours of practice; muscles aching and skin blistered with minor burns

he says he is and ghost pushes off the trailer, nodding his head to make soap follow. he brings him back to his trailer and tells him to clean up then takes out his personal med kit to treat the grazes on soap's skin

soap's shocked; for all that he loves to watch ghost perform, they've never really talked before

part of why he joined the circus was so he wouldn't be a burden on anyone, the oldest in a family with too many mouths to feed and not even time to nurture, and here he is taking up ghost's valuable practice time be he wasn't good enough to handle his own discipline. he tries to brush him off, downplaying the burns and tries to leave before half them can be treated but ghost just glares and orders him to sit back down

ghost does expect perfection from himself but it isn’t out of any malice or ego; it's bc he knows if he isn't perfect, he could very easily die. he’s picked a dangerous profession and he gives it the respect it deserves. there isn't any shame in being a novice or failing at something; he thinks there's a lot of beauty in having the courage to get back up again and again

so every day he watches soap practice and bullies him into his trailer to put him back together bc he knows he won't do it by himself

and every night soap wanders over to ghost's section of the fair grounds, in awe of his skill and wishing he could be worthy of the care he gives him

#have i posted this before? yes but it has an actual idea behind it now #anyway back on my ‘soap pushes himself too hard to meet expectations only he is holding him to’ bullshit #price is obviously the ring master and id say gaz is probably trapeze #ghost used to work for robas circus who kept pushing him to do more and more dangerous stunts with less and less safety measures in place #and for a long time he thought thats how it was supposed to be #he was supposed to court death every night. supposed to limp back to his trailer and take care of his own injuries #and its only when price comes to one of his shows to scope out roba as competition and confronts him afterwards abt the conditions #that he realises something might be wrong #so seeing his past staring back at him in the form of soap hurts something deep within him and he has to make it right #he doesnt want soap to have to live with the same deep pains that he does #injuries that couldve been avoided if hed just gone easier on himself #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghoap #john soap mactavish #soap cod #simon ghost riley #ghost cod

thinking about doing a month-long event for the homestuck tumblr community to encourage people to make + post fanworks as well as reblog other people's fanworks.... where people can opt-in by being randomly assigned one of two teams (probably red and blue) so that each team has roughly the same amount of members. teams get points for making fanworks and having their posts reblogged, which encourages people to make posts and also reblog the posts made by their team members. and the top 3 people in each team to get the most points get some kind of reward... hmmmm

#if you have thoughts please let me know!!! #just trying to think of ways to encourage sharing fanworks and getting feedback through friendly competition #sort of like artfight but not the same attacking/revenge format. just the same basic idea in mind of encouraging this kind of creativity #for the reblogging to get points i don't think duplicate reblogs would count. to limit spam #but you can reblog multiple times... it just won't get you more points #i don't want it to be too complicated though #i also don't want it to end up limiting reblogs since the other team wouldn't want to reblog................... #this is like very very loose brainstorming here #i'm leaning toward this concept because it encourages people to engage with posts they might normally skip over #like if you don't really care about PM. but if someone posts their PM fanart you might reblog it anyways because they're on your team! #homestuck

we need to have the conversation of how charles fans treat his teammates without falling into the accusatory zone that we want to harm charles by having this conversation.

i mean charles no harm, but it is something that is getting extremely out of hand and it needs to be talked about. some charles fans have gotten too freely with being cruel to others drivers.

people used to call sebastian vettel a CORPSE. yes, scuderia ferrari screwed him. yes, everyone loves sebastian vettel again NOW (because he is far away from it and free from this hell) but back in 19/20? charles fans, mainly on twitter, made his life miserable. he couldn’t win. he couldn’t make anyone happy. if he won, he was taking something from charles that belonged to charles rightfully. it he lost, he was old and bad and should retire already and this sport wasn’t for him. he wasn’t a team player. he didn’t care about ferrari. he wanted to screw charles over.

if you just got here, if carlos is your first experience of how charles’ teammates are treated, let me tell you. everything that is being said about carlos has already been said about sebastian. and it is crazy for some people to understand that because everyone loves sebastian again, so you can’t even imagine what he went throught.

and i’m sorry for generalizing all of charles fans, im a charles fan, but it is something we need to stop and look at and talk about. how long will we let it go. how long until it starts to happen to lewis hamilton, of all people. how long until they dismiss his victories and say he is old and should give up of this sport so charles can win.

and you know one of the worst part? charles loves to race. every time he had to fight for it, he loved it. when he and carlos race in that track, he comes out with a big smile and talking about how he loves to race carlos. how this is real racing. he loves to fight for it. to prove himself. to have to sweat for it.

all while his fans try to make everyone just bow down their heads and give him things in a plate, already chewed and easy to get. as if he would like that. as if he can’t prove himself worth otherwise. as if he isn’t good enough to fight for it.

#ceu talking #carlos sainz #charles leclerc #sebastian vettel #lewis hamilton #scuderia ferrari #i might just be tired of this circle repeating itself without anyone being hold accountable #i had to sit back and watch as sebastian vettel got fucking demolished on twt by some charles fans #i had to read all that after being so excited that my favorite driver would be in my favorite team!! it was the dream!!! #i had to see all the horrendous things people talk about carlos #and they are destroying the sport really because you can’t fight anymore with all you have to be on the first #this is a competitive sport and people are being cussed at for being (check notes) competitive #these people wouldn’t stand A DAY of sebmark brocedes and they would DIE if they saw classic f1 #prosenna? those people would COMBUST #anyway #wathever #i’m just pissed off #i might not even be making sense #is easy to ride behind a ‘anti-wathever’ tag and talk the most horrendous things isn’t it #had to see on twitter some charles fans already talking shit abt LEWIS HAMILTON

always thinking about this….,,., they make me extremely mentally unstable… look how happy shadow is.. he’s having so much fun,,..,. i don’t think anyone else can make him this excited,,,….,,,.. b bbesties

#notice how shadows looking at sonic for approval #wait is he actually smiling it looks like it but i could be wrong #whatever he is no convincing me otherwise #sonadow #team sonic racing #kinda gay to have competition be one of your favorite activities and have a rival who feels the exact same way and has fun with you and and #earlier in the comic shadow was like “focus on your opponent—me.“ like?? okay?! #alright shut up
