James is reading a Clifford The Big Red Dog book

Niki, watching: How did he get to be so big? Do they ever explain that?

James: Well, Emily’s love for him grew, and so did he.

Niki: Well, Oscar is pretty small of a shepherd. Guess that says something about you, huh?

James, angrily shutting the book: YOU’RE SMALL! WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOUR PARENTS?!?!

'Oh, Niki Lauda? He's just some little Austrian fellow with a creepy-crawly insect dæmon. If you've ever seen the man, I think you'd agree it's quite the fitting form.'

Niki could say a lot in response to that quote now fed back to him; that James' own dæmon is some puffed up, squawking lorikeet whose colours are clearly compensatory. 'Centipedes are myriapods,' is what he instead responds with, 'which are not considered part of the insect class.'

It's true; they're not. Nevertheless, it seems to win him no favours.

Finally, the vintage Niki Lauda and James Hunt F1 dæmon au, which is certainly not niche at all. I don’t know how to tag this post, but I do know RatHunt is the best ship name ever created.

Made this as a joke from a fic scene, but tragically people have found it funny enough to post. Recent past fanfic is always ready to hit you over the head with a metal bat of when things were invented.

oo ok for astala romanticism asks 13 (Is your character bilingual or multilingual? Which language are they most comfortable in or prefer using? How did they come to learn them?) and/or 14 (Do they have an accent? How do they or others think of it?)

am i just using this as a chance to feel out your own headcanons on language in thedas? maaybe

Language!!! Yes we can do language!!! My only regret in this will be that I don't have nearly the evolved headcanons you have for the languages in Thedas. But I do have something, so let's talk about that!! Long post, and therefore under the cut.

13. Is your character bilingual or multilingual? Which language are they most comfortable in or prefer using? How did they come to learn them?

I don't have a proper city elf language bc I find myself with neither the time nor a sufficiently strong urge to create one. In my story, I'm veering more into dialect territory: slang, pronunciation and expressions. That said, there are some things I do think city elves would be notorious for, linguistically speaking. This is to say: Astala starts out speaking only whatever they speak in Ferelden (which is sad), although she does do her best to learn Antivan later on.

First, compound nouns. Elvhen has this amazing feature where you can stitch together words to make new words. Like telanadas, "nothing is inevitable". It's one word. I love those! The closest feature in a language I know irl is German with its Frankenwörter. I think city elves should be allowed to make their own Frankenwörter. As a treat. A dockcabletier is somebody who ties the ripes that hold the ships at the harbor. Rathunters. Businessfuckers aka tax collectors. Notforgetknots are knots you tie into something you have on your person so they remind you of something. Idk, I think it could be a lot of fun and would be a holdover from times when they had their own language that was much more malleable than poor old English.

Next, I think they'd be fantastic sweares when they're comfortable. Look at Sera. Sure, she didn't spend all her childhood in the Alienage, but she's very liberal and very colorful when it comes to swearing. Elvhen has always seemed very poetic to me (with expressions like "The Dread Wolf guides you" for someone who is wrong, for example). I think the city elves would apply similes, metaphors and other stylistic devices very liberally in their day to day life, to amazing effects. I really do Astala a disservice on this end because I do not swear creatively. I like to think I can maybe do her right in normal conversation however.

And, third, and this is not something from elvhen, but something that both Sera and Zevran do which I would like to apply to elvhen: question particles. I think elvhen should have question particles. Zevran is always ending his questions with "yes?" or "no?", Sera with "innit?" and I think it would be really neat and very in-character for Elvhen, which already sticks words together like they are wooden ice cream sticks repurposed for model building, to have something that indicates uncertainty glued to the end of a phrase and thus turning it into a question.

Fourth, slang. If you live among a lot of people and you don't want one half of the population to understand what's going on in your conversation but don't irritate them by speaking another language, I think slang is the way to go. I like to think that they call shem dogs sometimes. Lapdogs are rich human women, wardogs any human with martial training, etc. A bruise is a violet, it there's blood involved it's a rose, things like that. "The guy hands out violets like they're pennies" sounds much less innocuous than saying "careful, this guy likes to punch and will bruise you."

As for Astala learning Antivan, it's hard for her. Languages aren't her thing. She gets the vocab alright, but her grammar and pronuncuation are very distinctly Fereldan. She is generally much more comfortable when using the King's Tongue, but certain phrases she does prefer in Antivan. Many of them only come out when she and Zevran are alone.

14. Do they have an accent? How do they or others think of it?

In relation to the above: does Astala have an accent? Yeah she does! I do keep her dialogue somewhat USAmerican (I think) because the voice acting in the first game was pretty USAmerican and I like it. She and Sera, however, have many similarities in their way of speaking in my mind. Sera sounds pretty British-from-a-very-specific-area from what I've been able to identify, but they share other things.

Astala also does a lot of code switching. She'll be much less informal in her speech if she's not among her own: swear less, use less contractions and slang, put words into a different order, etc. The companions will get to hear the more informal side of her eventually. Still, when she speaks rapid-fire Denerim Alienage slang with Shianni, they too get lost. Alistair might find it funny, Ilanlas would be very confused and a bit exasperated because he doesn't understand them. Other than that, I don't think they'd mind much.

The code switching does come in handy once she's made a name for herself as The Warden(TM). She separates both ways of speaking so much that even on the battlefield her speech will be different depending on who she's leading, her companions or soldiers. The difference will be less noticeable than in everyday life, but it'll definitely be there. If she spoke before the Landsmeet the way she speaks at home, nobody would take her seriously, and she is very much aware of that (and she hates it. She's very protective of her accent: it's her's and that of the people she loves most, after all).

And this is what I have on languages and accents as of now, my friend. I do hope it was interesting, even if it's not broad or very developed headcanons, but rather details. O love languages and I wish we got more of them in Dragon Age and that I could make my own stuff, but for now the switch in register keeps me occupied nicely. Thanks for sending the ask!!! Have a lovely day!!! XD XD XD

Cameos of other drivers in Rush (2013)

I love retro F1 sm and when I saw Rush I was trying to identify all the drivers in the background. And then I really put in the effort and did so much research on trying to identify the drivers lol bc I love them sm. So here are the drivers from the 1976 grid that I spotted so far! If I missed any or you think I got someone wrong, don't hesitate to tell me!

I tried so hard lmao it got a bit inconsistent later on bc drivers back then would change their overalls halfway through their season lol.

Drivers featured are: Tom Pyrce, Jody Scheckter, Clay Regazzoni, Carlos Pace, Emerson Fittipaldi, Patrick Depailler, Graham Hill, Jochen Mass, John Watson, Jacques Laffite, Gunnar Nilsson, Carlos Reutemann, Guy Edwards, Michel Leclere, Ronnie Peterson, Bob Evans, Harald Ertl, Chris Amon, Hans-Joachim Stuck, Arturo Merzario, Jean Pierre Jarier,

they shared an apartment, they didn’t share an apartment, he just stayed there a few nights when they’d been out having a good time, with girls! Of course! nothing else! He didn’t have his own flat, it was James’s he just put him up sometimes, indefinitely, maybe for months, maybe if I never say anything specific you will stop asking, James was an annoying flatmate who never did the dishes, James was broke and introduced him to his ‘spare girlfriends’ to make up for not helping with the rent, they met at the track, they met at a bar, they broke into a track together and he told off a policeman for James, “I remember those times very well,” it was the beginning of everything but no “I don’t remember” where the flat was, I won’t tell you, I don’t want you to look it up, we only had sex with girls not each other (as if anyone would have assume otherwise), he was the only one I could be with, James was different, when I looked into his eyes I could tell everything he was feeling, “I loved your father,” we looked after each other from the heart.... 

it laminations of longing and denial and repression and pretense and bleed through, and probably it was exactly as much as we know about happening and no more, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t still a love affair.

Niki: Welcome back to 'reasons the kids have been angry recently'.

Niki: *clears throat *

Niki: I told Nigel the plate was hot, he touched it and then got angry at me because the plate was really hot.

Niki: Rene ate the last piece of bread and then got angry at me for not telling him it was the last piece of bread. Because apparently if he had known it was the last piece of bread he would have savored it more.

Niki: *glares into the camera as if he's on the office *

Niki: Nelson got angry because I wouldn't allow him to play 'race simulator' 24/7. His argument, 'That's what summer break is for!'

James, butting in: He's not wrong though.

Niki: *glares *

Niki: Ayrton was angry because we are his parents and aren't allowed to get mad at him. And everything he does wrong, is only wrong because we taught him wrong.

James: *long suffering sigh * I forgot that one.
