How to Store Bike
Storing a bike properly is important to ensure its longevity and safety. The first step is to clean the bike thoroughly, removing any dirt or debris that may have accumulated during use. Once the bike is clean, it should be dried completely to prevent rust or corrosion. Next, lubricate all moving parts, such as the chain, gears, and pedals, to keep them working smoothly. Once the bike is properly cleaned and lubricated, it can be stored in a dry, secure location. This can be a garage, a shed, or a designated bike storage area. It's important to make sure the bike is stored in an upright position, as this will prevent the tires from becoming flat and the handlebars from becoming bent.

I remember there being this one commenter on ao3 who would comment on like any story that mentioned Donald Duck just to say things like, “he’s actually badass, you aren’t making him fight enough” or saying that they made him too weak even calling people out if they said wasn’t the best cook. And it’s so weird how when people put him on a pedestal and ignore his flaws they basically end up making him into a different charecter entirely.
none of my friends are quite equipped to handle the breadth of my mind so when I get sent good asks you bet I'm gonna answer them. what follows is a bunch of thoughts about Donald and writing in general and ao3 and idk if they're relevant anymore but i wrote them
dude I'm so scared all the time of mischaracterizing characters to make them fit who I think they're supposed to be like I'm constantly thinking through and double checking that it makes sense for them
because a good interaction with characters that feel like themselves is what I want to read because that's what's good, especially if it sort of plays characters against each other / themselves in a new way. so I'm like ??? when people are so heavy on skewing a character one way or another.
like Donald isn't perfect ig because nobody is but I also don't think he's deeply flawed either but he does have some Character Traits. that you should stick to. he's kind of interesting from a writing standpoint, along with Scrooge in particular and even the triplets, because he's got such a long-standing mythos in Disney and Duckverse history that there is a lot of leeway if you want it.
"would Donald do [x]?" well maybe Donald Duck (dt17) wouldn't but Barks Donald would. or Rosa Donald wouldn't and neither would dt Donald but Italian Donald from x author's run in x year totally would. Paperinik is more likely to act this way than The Three Musketeers Donald.
this is extra complex because you're dealing with cartoon characters who act cartoonishly because they're from the origin of modern cinema and entertainment and they were created for slapstick gags and developed for propaganda. "would Donald respond like [x] or like [y]?" well x is a more slapstick caricature response that emphasizes the lightheartedness of the story and lowers the stakes, while y is a more dramatic action that humanizes him and those around him and ups our investment.
so like. is Donald "badass enough?" I mean dude idk depends on the story depends on the tone depends on the stakes depends on a lot. Donald is super badass (dt17 s1 finale) Donald is a total lame loser (the town where everyone was nice) and I do think you, random ao3 commenter who's being nit picky, need to acknowledge that or you're making him way less interesting than he actually is
also people are so weird on ao3 sometimes I'm sorry. like I'm gonna be honest I have HIGH standards when it comes to fanfiction because I know what I want and I know how I interpret characters and I think I'm right about everything and when people disagree with me which is often (because I accidentally got invested in a children's show which unfortunately leads to a lot of children being involved) I get annoyed and You Know What I Do. I close my ao3 and then I privately tell CycleGirl "you are not going to believe this thing that he would not fucking say" and then she says "that's nice caoimhin lets get you to bed" and it ends
