the only person I'm friends with who is a true obsessive tswiftie is a Dutch spam insta mutual of mine who believes he is the reincarnation of Jacob Louis Veldhuyzen van Zanten, the pilot who in 1977 caused (""caused"" in quotes because it IS more nuanced than that but yeah) the Tenerife airport disaster by taking off in foggy conditions without clearance and colliding his fully loaded 747 with another full 747, creating the deadliest aviation disaster of all time, killing himself and 582 others. He loves taylor swift and makes collages about his memories of his past life as a 50yo KLM pilot, the disaster and how he died, and his guilt over his part in the deaths of almost 600 people with Taylor swift and harry styles lyrics on them. I'm not making fun of him I think he's a cool guy genuinely. Just I kind of have to mention him whenever someone mentions tswift fans being wild because I truly think he blows most of them out of the water

James’s birthday is also the anniversary of Tenerife airport disaster, one of the worst plane crashes in history...... I hope he knows that
Bat, how dare you. How dare. I try SO HARD to keep all my plane crash knowledge off this blog and yet--
Yes. His birthday IS the anniversary of the Tenerife disaster, and it happened in 1977, so he was definitely alive for it. I'm sure Lily kept him apprised of Muggle events, and I'm sure Sirius was obsessed with Muggle airplanes, so. They probably all knew about it.

I did write all of the characters birthday on their profile, but it's been a while and I haven't made a profile for everyone so here's a list in chronological order of those who I gave a canon birthday.
Giuseppe Paradisi: September 3rd 1898
Gwenaelle "Gwenn" Lorgnez: August 9th 1904
Tamara Schumacher: July 7th 1971
Yamuna Chintal: December 12th 1971
Raphael "Ralf" Montag: August 1st 1973
Charlie Yi: February 5th 1984
Kino Gurafee: September 22nd 1993
Peneloppe "Paisley" Cox: October 18th 1993
Lilah Silvercloud: February 21st 1994
Antoinette "Toni" Crosdale: June 9th 1994
Audrey Newberry: October 26th 1995
Dawud Sahan: March 21st 1996
Rudder "Rudi" Marron: January 14th 1997
Marisa Magallanes: March 11th 1997
Matteo Rossini: November 25th 1997
Daniele Rossini: June 7th 1998
June Crosdale: November 27th 1998
Akvamareen "Akva" Singh: May 18th 1999
Athena Ramdeen: August 24th 1999
Adem Zaoui: January 9th 2001
Saraswati "Sara" Cox: November 1st 2019
Joseph Gurafee-Silvercloud: April 15th 2021
Bonus: It's been said in a chapter that Ulrikke, Rudi's younger sister, shares a birthday with Tamara. She was also turning 18 that years in 2021, meaning she was born in 2003. Daniele also said the Tenerife airport disaster was on his mother 10th birthday. This plane crash happened on March 27th 1977, therefore we can deduce his mom was born on March 27th 1967. I don't really have a specific birthday for the other character's relatives though some of them have at least an age that has been mentionned in canon. Like Akva said her parents had her at 20 for example. This is because I am a freak and I need my timeline to be super specific and on point even though nobody cares except me.
Dawud is also the only one to have celebrated his birthday in a chapter, twice in fact. This is a clever reference to him being the main character of the story.

I love when a plane crash isnt for nothing when a plane crash changes the course of aviation safety alltogether. I like knowing that especially in cases of hundreds of deaths its not necessarily like they died for nothing. Its the most interesting takeaway from aviation disasters to me. but its kind of funny having an interest in these things and just not thinking and going like "Oh i love the Tenerife airport disaster!!!"

today, march 27, is the anniversary of the tenerife airport disaster of 1977. maybe take a moment to think about the lives lost in the deadliest disaster in aviation history. of the combined 644 passengers and crew of the two planes, only 61 survived. it was a whole lot of errors and circumstances piling up on each other, and it ended tragically. let's hope nothing like that happens again.

Marc Marquez- Beach days
After a long and tough couple of months it's finally summer break and Marc and I are going on a short holiday to just get away from everything and relax for a few days before he needs to start training again and the season restarts. Usually we don't go away during the summer break we go during the off season as there is a bit more time but this year we both needed a break so decided to go to Tenerife to get some time away and just lay on a beach for a week. The holiday was a relatively last minute decision in my terms at least as we only booked flights last week after making sure that Marc wouldn't have anything he had to do which luckily he didn't so we were able to get the break we needed. Last night Marc stayed up packing because he loves to leave things until the last minute which meant that we didn't get to sleep until around 2am when we had to be up at 5:30 which was not at all ideal but we have both lived on less sleep so we should be ok.
Our alarm went off at 5:30 like we had set it too but it still felt way too early especially on the break and getting up was made no easier by Marc who rolled on top of me and put his head in my neck not wanting to get up himself. Eventually we decided it was best we got up so Marc rolled off of me and then offered me a hand to help me up which I gladly took and used it as an opportunity to give him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before heading to the bathroom to get ready. Not a lot of thought had been put into my outfit as I just wanted to wear something comfy for the flight and I did just that by wearing some sweatpants and one of Marc's t-shirts that I often steal from him as its comfy and seeing as I was already looking a bit of a mess I just brushed my hair and put it back up in a bun and called it a day.
When I left the bathroom Marc wasn't in the bedroom so I went out to the living room to find him in the kitchen making coffee for the both of us and he had put all of our suitcases by the door so we can just grab them when we need to leave. Once the coffee was ready I grabbed two mugs for us both and he poured them which I thanked him for before we both sat at the breakfast bar taking a few sips in silence before talking about what we wanted to do with our time away. Most of the things we talked about doing didn't involve much effort or could really be considered doing anything but that's exactly what we wanted as we don't get too much time to do that usually so any chance we get to be lazy is like a dream come true. We talked for a little while as we finished our coffee before we had to leave for the airport and I grabbed our keys while Marc got the suitcases in the car which I did try and help with but he grabbed them before I could help.
The car ride to the airport was relatively quick and easy and we found a parking space very quickly which gave us plenty of time to get through all the checks. Even after all this time of constantly being at the airport I still hate them because most of the time something doesn't seem to go to plan I just have very bad luck with airports which is why I dread having to get a plane anywhere. Marc often makes fun of me for my luck at airports but that is until he has to go with me and has to deal with my luck but today he seemed in good spirits. He dragged me right into the airport which was weirdly deserted for a weekend during the summer but I wasn't about to complain as we actually made it though check in and security in record time for me and we even had about 45 minutes until our plane boarded but I was still skeptical that things weren't going to take a turn for the worse.
"Would you look at that you made it through without a disaster look at you go" Marc joked
"Don't speak too soon I've made it to this point in good spirits before like the time my flight got delayed 12 hours and then cancelled" I reminded him
"I forgot about that I will shut up until we get on the plane" he said putting his hands over his mouth
I laughed at him until I realised he was deadly serious, he just sat there looking at me with a smile while I waited to see if he would say something but he never did. Eventually he broke the cycle and handed me one of his earbuds so that we could watch Netflix together which we did still in silence until we were able to go to our gate and board the plane. I have a list as long as my arm of weird experiences I've had when boarding a plane most of which involve creepy people so as we were boarding Marc kept me close to him with either an arm around my waist or a tight grip on my hand. Usually he isn't very protective because he knows I can handle myself but it must have got to him hearing all my stories because when anyone so much as looked at me weirdly he gave them a death stare while holding me even closer if that was even possible. Just having him with me meant that less people paid attention to me and meant that the whole experience was a lot more enjoyable and I didn't feel like there were eyes on me constantly.
We made it onto the flight and settled into our seats which luckily were next to each other because before we have been sat in completely different parts of the plane which wasn't very fun. The aisle seat next to Marc was left free for quite a long time as other people boarded the plane but right as the last few people were getting on an older lady came and up and sat in the seat next to me which honestly a relief as it could have been so much worse. As we waited for the plane to take off Marc and I talked to the lady who was asking us about our lives and why we were going out to Tenerife and she asked us a bit about our lives because she recognised Marc slightly so we had to explain but she wasn't at all phased which was nice and it meant we got to have a nice conversation before the plane took off.
Once the plane had taken off our conversation stopped and Marc and I put his earbuds back in to continue with what we were watching and I used the opportunity to move closer to Marc and rest my head on his shoulder. Marc wasn't happy with the gap between us so he moved the arm of the seat and pulled me closer and let me rest my legs over his so I took the opportunity to take a short nap and catch up the sleep I missed during the night. Our plane landed and Marc woke me up just as the plane was touching down which was very much a shock when the plane juddered slightly but it definitely woke me up. Before we got off the plane I went to help the lady grab her carry on bag because she was struggling but I didn't do much better as I was too short so Marc saved the day by lifting me up very slightly which allowed me to achieve my aim. He laughed in my ear quietly and called me short which I thought was less funny but I didn't say anything just lightly hit his arm to get him to stop teasing me.
"Thank you for that dear" the lady said
"No need to thank me its my pleasure" I replied
"Well I hope you two enjoy your break together it sounds like you need it and you sir need to never let her go because she is your soulmate I can just tell" she said
"I don't plan on ever letting her go" Marc said giving me a smile
The lady left us with a smile while I stood there stunned because I have known for a while Marc is the one I want to be with forever but to pretty much hear him say it has really taken me by surprise as he doesn't often share his feelings like that. I could tell that he was a little nervous that what he said was too much and that he would have put me off which I know because he had done this about about a million times before so I know how to handle him. Quickly I whispered in his ear that I didn't plan on letting him go either which made his face change from one of worry to all smiles and he squeezed my hand even tighter than before. We then walked off the plane and made it through the airport without any issues and got our rental car to drive to the villa we had rented for the week so that we so have to be around a bunch of other people.
~~~~~~~~~~
Most of the week me and Marc have done very little other than hang around the pool and go on walks in the evening although one day we did decide to go to the water park nearby and it was actually super fun especially as it wasn't as busy as I thought it would have been. Today however we have decided to go to the beach as on one of our walks we found a small beach that didn't look too busy plus it had beautiful black sand which we both thought was really interesting. As we've been doing all week we didn't get up early but once we were up we had breakfast quickly and got ready, for once I was ready first because I was too lazy to do my hair so just put it up while Marc wanted to do his even though there is no point but I let him be. He didn't take too much longer to get ready and once he was we got our things together and started the 15 minute walk to the beach.
When we got to the beach there was only one other couple there so we managed to find a good spot where we had our own space, we set up our towels in a quiet corner that was slightly shaded from the rocks nearby and out of view from the street. The second I sat down Marc threw me my sunglasses as well as the sunscreen and of course I couldn't catch them both so I caught my sunglasses which I quickly regretted when the sunscreen hit me in the stomach. Marc just laughed at me as I fell back but he did kiss my cheek to make up for it when he sat down too as well as taking the sunscreen bottle off my stomach. He got me to sit up and he moved behind me so that he could put the sunscreen on my back with his soft and warm hands which felt nice as he gently rubbed my skin. Once he was satisfied with his work he let me put the sunscreen on the rest of my body before I put it on his back for him and handed him the bottle so I could go back to laying in the warn sun.
While laying down I made the mistake of closing my eyes and so Marc took advantage of that by picking me up over his shoulder and ran towards the water throwing me in once we were deep enough that it wouldn't hurt me. When I came back up he was stood in front of me laughing his head off but that didn't last long as I used my entire body weight to tackle him into the water so that he wasn't laughing anymore but when he pulled me back under neither was I. The cycle went on for a bit longer before we called it a draw and actually went swimming like most normal people would do in the sea. The water was really nice and warm and very calm which meant I did a lot more floating on my back looking at the sky and the fluffy clouds in it, Marc was swimming around me for a while before stopping and coming to float next to me pointing out what some of the clouds looked like.
After a while of cloud watching we headed back to our towels to dry off and I grabbed my book to get some reading in which I've been doing everyday we have been here as I love to read but I never have enough time to get into a book when at home. Marc isn't as bothered about reading but whenever I read he gets me to tell him everything that happens so its like we've both read the book and can talk about what is happening. It gives me a warm feeling inside that as much as he doesn't like reading he takes an interest because I like it and he wants us to have something to talk about which is just the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I was laying down on my stomach with Marc right next to me just staring at my face which I could see out the corner of my eye which was quite distracting.
"What are you staring at me for" I laughed
"Am I not allowed to look at my girlfriend now?" He questioned
"You are I just wondered why you were doing it now" I said
"Because you look beautiful with your concentration face on" he explained
"Stop it your making me blush now" I said hiding my face
He gently pulled my hands away from my face and replaced them with kisses which only made me blush more, no matter how long we have been together he always manages to make me blush even by just complimenting me like he just did. Marc likes to take advantage of this in fact he is always giving me compliments just so he can see me blush as he finds it entertaining and he has about a million pictures of me on his phone of me hiding my face or looking as red as a tomato some of which he likes to post just to embarrass me further. He did just that this time leaning in next to me and took a selfie putting it on his Instagram story tagging me just to really add to the embarrassment. I was not about to let him get away with it though so I found my phone and pulled my usual trick of kissing him on the nose which always flusters him and once he was flustered I recreated the picture he took and put it on my story just to get back at him.
We went back and forth taking pictures of each other quickly turning from stupid ones to just cute pictures which I knew for a fact were being screenshotted because I was being tagged in more and more pictures by the minute but I didn't care because its fun to show off our relationship a little bit. Marc and I don't often share too much of our lives together as we have found out the hard way that it can be used against us but after a while we have given up caring and just share what we want and ignore the people who are bothered by it. While we were at it Marc made me get up and we took proper pictures together of which he posted the most ridiculous ones so he could well and truly win the embarrassment war.
Feeling a little bad he asked me if I wanted to go on a proper dinner date tonight which of course I did so we decided to head home to be able to shower and change. Luckily when packing I decided to bring a few nice dresses just in case we went out for dinner which turned out to be a good choice. The dresses I packed were all new or ones I haven't had chance to wear so after looking at my options I picked a red floral dress with quite a low neckline and a tie around the waist but it was nice and flowy so not too hot and it looked pretty cute on. While I was getting ready Marc was in the bathroom but when he walked out I saw his jaw drop slightly from my view in the mirror. He came over right away and put his arms around my waist kissing my jaw before just standing there as I finished off my makeup and even once I did he spun me round in his grip and we just stared into each other's eyes for a few moments before we let go of each other.
There is this little beach side restaurant we have walked past a few times that we walked to and managed to get a table on the back deck with a perfect view of the ocean which was still super calm and the moon was shining off of it creating a beautiful scene. A waiter quickly came and took our orders before leaving us alone to have a conversation about life which got quite deep pretty quickly and we talked about our hopes for our future together. The future isn't something we often think about as it just doesn't make sense to with Marc's focus always on the next race weekend and with the dangers that come with racing I never want to get too ahead of myself, but today we made an exception. We talked about having kids which we both agreed that we wanted in the next few years which is actually quite exciting as I've always wanted kids so the thought that in the next few years I could have a family of my own with the person I love the most is just magical.
After dinner we took the long way back to the villa to enjoy the evening air but once we got back we both changed into comfy clothes and got into bed with a movie on in the background as we cuddled up right next to each other. We only have a few days left until we go back home but I wouldn't mind one bit if it was spent exactly like this because this is my paradise not the nice scenery outside just being close with Marc is all I need to be happy.
