2009 Singapore Grand Prix - Fernando Alonso

#my eyes are just lazer focused on where his race suit is unzipped 🫠 he looks sooooo good in these #i wish theyd bring back this style of post race presser bcs my god imy heart skips a beat every time drivers make eye contact w the camera #i think the last race i watched where nando was on the podium was literally fucking canada 23 #so i am very very please and happy and delighted to see him finally again #BUT I AM SHRIEKING AT THE FACT THAT HE DEDICATED HIS PODIUM TO FLAVIO AT HOME #FLAVIO WHO IS AT HOME BECAUSE HE WAS LITERALLY JUST PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM F1 #AND HE DOES THIS PRACTICALLY ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF CRASHGATE WHICH WAS JUST PENALIZED A WK AGOO #NANNDDOOOOOOO WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS???? MENACE BEHAVIOR!!!!!!!! WAR CRIMINAL!!!!!!! #not included here but he was late to the cooldown room even tho he was the first one to get to parc ferme #and i realized its because he went to get a coke hahaha #i guess thats his drink of choice when dehydrated bcs thats what he was drinking at malaysia 2005 when it was also humid/hot #also i prefer the blue/yellow renault livery obv but i think the yellow/orange one is underrated #renaults liveries and color palletes from this era imo are just very clean and nice looking and work very well together #fernando alonso #fa14 #formula 1 #f1 #formula one #we do a little bit of f1 #2009 singapore gp

about that most iconic fighting game protag. it’s so weird every time i see how popular gg is and then like. no one cares. you never see gg merch at cons and like. gg doesn’t get in smash at all it’s like. damn

Guilty Gear's in this weird spot where it was decently "big" over in Japan since day 1 but was this strange, quirky, underground thing here in the west until Strive where suddenly it's the headliner game at major tournaments like EVO. I think the Sammy-Sega merger putting the entire franchise into IP hell for most of the 2010s didn't help too... Maybe if that had never happened we would have gotten a GG character into Smash...

Strive really has kicked the frontdoor down here in the west though. I bet the amount of GG merch at cons and stuff is going to go way up between now and the next game in the series haha

also I don't think most other fighting games have a community on here the same way GG does? and following my blog is like being exposed to the elephant's foot of GG content rofl so there may be some kind of data bias there hahahah

#asks #The Sammy-Sega merger happened around Overture (2005?) when Sega bought out Sammy who was the publisher for GG games #Something happened with that where ASW had to go through Sega to make GG games and they didn't have access to all the IP during that time #So that's how we got Blazblue and Overture and why Overture introduced so many new characters #Sega shat the bed sometime around 2013 and sold off a bunch of IPs and ASW was able to buy back the rights to Guilty Gear #....and then ASW bravely decided to kickstart the series with a pachislot machine. Let's goooooo Vastedge !

Oh to be Maverick, reading AD magazine and has a husband that will write you a blank check to buy any decor you want. Or collects expensive watches. And has the same taste. I don't know if anyone have asked this, what is your hc about their car preference? I hc that Mav likes big car because he's relatively short. And Ice likes luxury car. What do you think?

oh my god i have had this headcanon for so long thank god someone’s asking about it.

Ice will ONLY drive American-manufactured cars. like even when he travels somewhere and rents one. he will raise a stink about it.

It is a significant point of contention in their relationship & marriage that maverick is only interested in Japanese-manufactured motorcycles. Like they have had, and will continue to have, shouting matches over “why can’t you be a patriot and buy American motorcycles like harleys??!? What is with all the kawasaki and yamaha crap???” and “ice im telling you they just run better!!! the japanese just make better bikes!!!” tongue-in-cheek threats of divorce etc.

i definitely think of ice as less a luxury car and more a classic muscle car guy. back when muscle cars still were delicate and beautiful instead of hard and sharp, if that makes sense. there is a Venn diagram of luxury and muscle cars and he definitely has dabbled in the middle (see my fic’s deepthroating of the 2005 ford GT). But he won’t cross the line. (Won’t be caught dead driving a Porsche or mercedes for instance)

in the final final draft of my fic (ie the draft that will get posted before i call it quits on my top gun phase) the Dream Car is getting changed to a ‘68 Plymouth HEMI roadrunner. camaro is too mainstream i will admit. but see above for my “car preferences” hc.

#when maverick does finally get his license ice says he’ll pay for 60% of the car mav wants so long as it is American made #okay sooo if i said i wanted a jeep…? #ice (narrowed eyes): i would support that but you’re on thin ice #Mav just wants off-roading capability #not because he’s a big off-roader but just because ‘what if someday we need to go off roading?’ #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #asks #edts notes #2005 ford gt is beyond sexy #also completely out of the price range of even a 2-star admiral so very unrealistic I have to admit #nah. interested in the LP American marques (Chevy ford Plymouth) #the holy trinity of 60s cars #can we not bring back 60s automobile frames but safe and make them electric? i pray for that every night #headcanons ive had for over a year now. time passes.

ranking companions from most straight to least straight kinsey style

1. donna. straightest woman that ever lived and we love her so much for that

2. rose. rose is straight. rose is a beautiful and lovely character - but what she isn’t is attracted to women. source : that episode where she made fun of a milf’s age. very funny bitchy moment for her though so it’s still a W. just a straight girl’s one

3. rory. he’s just rory

4. amy’s entire deal is so 2010 that her sexuality escapes definition. joker.

5. martha. she’s bi and a monster fucker she just doesn’t know

6. clara. bi woman with a preference for men she can domesticate. love of my life also

7. river‼️

8. jack. first gay kiss on dw guy! he deserves it

9. yaz. hello dyke (noncommittal)

10. ace. hello dyke (horny)

11. bill. hello dyke (honorific)

Fellow TUC fans: how and when did you first find the series?

#i was around gregor's age when i first read them #my older brother was the first one to find them #then he read them and introduced them to my aunt who is a (now retired) elementary school librarian #both of them loved them so much and passed the love on to me by highly recommending them #then i made it my mission to never shut up about them to my friends #my now best friend sarafina read them way back when because they wanted to get to know me better after we met in social studies #and i think that's SO sweet #they loved the books too #so this was probably like... 2005? and the books have been so important to me and so near and dear to my heart ever since #tuc #tuc20 #the underland chronicles

As I’ve been fixated on the Robot Rampage episode of The Backyardigans and rediscovered the Robots movie, I have decided society would be much better off if we returned to the “futuristic society run by sentient robots” media phase of the early 2000s

#The vibes of both were absolutely immaculate #Literally peak aesthetic #Why did media stop caring about futuristic robot-filled metropolises #Where did we go so wrong #Wall-E is another good example of this concept #Mitchells vs the Machines too #The concept needs to come back #But it CANNOT be rogue AIs #Its GOTTA be humanoid robots with like bodies and control panels and shit #the backyardigans #robot rampage #robots 2005 #yardi yells #Yardis posts from 3am

[dallasthetransgenderlegend]

So they brought Rose back for the 50th anniversary and they’re bringing Donna back for the 60th… Martha 70th? What are we predicting whovians?

#I wish we could just have both actually #like I want rose back so horribly #but I also know that as a plot point #it would just be for the sake of having her back and not like for great reason #idk #anyways #doctor who #doctor who 2005 #dr who #david tennant #rose tyler #billie piper #donna noble #catherine tate

anyway: last thing about the fox.

I think the order in which the team reacts to frank fielding* hurting himself is pretty interesting.

Gideon and Morgan are first, simply because they're the ones closest.

Hotch and Elle are next, with Elle a little behind...

But when it comes to actually restraining Frank, Elle, who is still new and less experienced, lingers behind. If you watch the scene carefully, she actually backs away, too.

And finally, Reid stands at the very back. He enters the room but doesn't go any further, and the camera pans down to show him rocking back and forth on his feet, like he can't decide if he wants to run into or out of the room. I think it's possible that Diana self-harmed at some point in the past (although granted, the self-harm in this scene is a different "type") and he may have been having some unpleasant memories.

*the brother of one of the victims, who goes to her house despite her husband not wanting him there, is seen by her through the window, and thinks she mouths "go away" at him when she actually mouths "help me"

#ofc i there's an argument that they just didn't need five people to restrain one person #and elle and reid hung back for that reason #but to me #elle and reid being the ones to hang back feels intentional #and even if it isnt #analysis isnt really about if your argument is RIGHT #its about how well you can argue it #also: this is based on what we know about the characters #who knows? maybe if elle stuck around longer we would have found out she had a family member who she witnessed having very similar episodes #and that would have painted her reaction in a very different light #also this scene makes me sad. i wish we'd gotten an update on frank afterwards #esp because this hits home. to me this reads very similarly to an autistic meltdown and i have self harmed very similarly during mine #not sure how i feel about him being restrained for that reason but i get they didnt want him to hit himself #and it was 2005 #tw self harm #character analysis #scene analysis #i suppose #criminal minds #criminal minds rewatch #criminal minds s01e07 #the fox #elle greenaway #spencer reid #i know i mentioned other characters in this but i didnt really pick their fictional brains lol

my favorite hobby is watching several middle aged men rehash drama that happened when i was a toddler in the most public, petty, immature way while listening to the very good and popular songs that one of the guys wrote about the Drama, but the songwriter in question is the only one not participating lest he lose his plausible deniability

#this post is for the 6 other teenagers who still care about this mess. woop woop #so fun #river.txt #this is indeed about warped tour 2005 #summer of like #fall out boy #my chemical romance #heychris #(you were our only friend and i know this is belated but we love you back) #pete wentz #mikey way

my boss: write an 800-1000 word piece on the truman show’s 25th anniversary

me: *currently 5000 words into dissecting the history of a subgenre i coined mid-article*

#yes it’s about the truman show. yes it’s about gaslight media which flourished from 2003-2005 had a failed revival in 2014-2015 and is has #been coming back with a vengeance the past few years due to our widespread fascination with gaslighting as a concept and newfound cultural #familiarity with it in day to day life allowing us to take comfort even from shows using machinations of manipulation as their entire format #in a way we couldn’t in the early 2000s when said format was almost solely used for the humiliation of unsuspecting citizens #now though we’ve come to see it as a bad but almost ubiquitous aspect of life so we find more comfort in witnessing it occur in a ‘positive’ #way than not witnessing it occur at all because we automatically assume it is anyways and we’re the targets #sorry if this didn’t make sense. it does if you’re me #aka if you spent the entire day frantically researching every reality tv hoax to ever air with rabid fascination #and also the truman show. also that #i don’t understand how people in theory heavy fields are able to suddenly shift to write pithy simple cultural commentary on slate #how do you pivot like that. how do you not say all the things you want to say #like…. maybe i am not cut out for this. maybe i’m only cut out for academia. except also FUCK that i don’t want to be a professor #in other words: i am fucked #why can’t i just write giant analyses of everything and get money for them. wdym that’s not how the world works #lol not like i’m getting money for this either. getting paid in experience baby #(read: i am incredibly broke and in desperate search for a second job. fuuuuuck unpaid labor i love capitalism love it)
