Nico saying that Lewis gives his daughters boxes of presents every Christmas just got caught in my mind.

Imagine you were a mixed race boy born in Hertfordshire, different from everyone else around you. Bullied in school, being raised by your father to compete in a sport where money is very much of essence and you and your family do not have a lot of it. And then you meet this other boy who comes from the kind of life you dream to live one day. You're friends and fierce competitors. You find solace in each other. You visit Monaco for the first time with your friend, dreaming up the life you will have when you make it, when you beat out of the mould that the world thought it could capture you in.

And then you two grow through the ranks and you're at the pinnacle of your sport and you have what it takes to win and the world recognises that you can win. And you win. You win with your friend and fiercest competitor by your side fighting with you for those wins, and this fighting ruins something something that was valuable to both of you when you were still innocent and unsullied by life.

But despite everything that went into the doing and undoing of this relationship, you still realise that this person you once called a friend has a life and family beyond your bitter dynamic. He has children, and children need love and affection and good memories. And you're a better man now so you understand that. So you make sure the kids get gifts on Christmas. And you make sure of it every year. Afterall, if you met someone you loved deeply when you were both kids, wouldn't you feel a pang of nostalgia when they had kids. Wouldn't you try to extend the warmth that you couldn't find for your friend to his children. Afterall, whatever happens during childhood basically remains with you forever.

#and nico's perspective of the same is just #being bullied as a child and being profoundly lonely till you find this friend who is in many ways the yardstick for performance #and even when you go through all this rancidity and the love has almost evaporated down to bare bones politeness #you know there is something that remains deep down #and so he gets your kids Christmas gifts each year #both their childhoods were sites of pain and both of them found something with each other #and lewis honours that by being a positive presence in nico's childrens' lives #albeit from a distance #and of course we're no strangers to how much Nico loves his kids #you can bet if Lewis had kids Nico would do that same #sorry this caught in my heart a little #I knew he had been giving presents for a while and I always thought of that as very beautiful but seeing it on the tl made me remember #man #love haunts you in such peculiar ways forever #brocedes #lewis hamiton #nico rosberg #f1 #formula 1

some Noisette and Fake drawings i did because on god i wish these two had any form of canon interaction.

Ooh, what if Price/Ghost/Gaz/Laswell came across their childhood best friend? Reuniting with reader who was there for them through thick and thin, until they joined the military and lost contact 🙏

I've been reading/re-reading some of your works!! They're so good! Also, I'm sorry those teenagers were pricks to you, hope you have some better days soon!

Hello! I have to say, I'm genuinely surprised anyone reads my rambles in the tags, I didn't think anyone would, but thank you! You don't know how much I appreciate it! Today was already a much better day, which is why I decided to write and post two requests today! This is a lovely request, very nice! Love me some platonic stuff as well! Sometimes all you need is a good friend by your side!

Price, Gaz, Ghost and Laswell Come Across their Childhood Best Friend

Price: He actually thinks about you from time to time, more often than he’d like to admit. You were a good person in his eyes, always there for him no matter what he went through, which is something he could appreciate. His childhood wasn’t particularly bad, but he had some days where he would have loved to simply throw in the towel, which is normal, though. Price was a rowdy guy when he was young, so you likely either went along with some of his ideas or were kind enough to talk him out of them. Either way, he appreciated having you around, so seeing you again would be quite the surprise, he didn’t think he ever would again. If he’s on a mission, then the talk will be kept short, but afterwards he’ll make sure to seek you out again, catch up a bit and ask you how you’ve been. Price didn’t expect to have missed you this much, but he only realized that once he saw you. You’ll either be going to one of the cafes you used to visit nearby, or maybe sit down on a park bench and maybe eat some sandwiches together, just like you used to during the good old times. Since you’d likely be around his age, so roughly 37-38, you’d have a lot to tell. Roughly 22 years you need to catch up on. He’s willing to talk to you, tell you about his career, how he's been doing, about the people he’s met and how he’s feeling. Considering this much time has passed, there’s a good chance you’ve both mellowed out quite a bit, but it isn’t unpleasant, you’re both mature people now. He likes hearing about everything you’ve accomplished, it’s like you became a new person during all those years. It’s so lovely to him, he sort of can’t believe it. Whether it’s a coincidence, or maybe you sought him out, it doesn’t matter, spending time with you again brings back all those memories he thought he had since forgotten about. He laughs, he smiles, he frowns. He’s a bit more expressive with you, but really wants to reminisce about the good old times. Even so, he hopes to be able to see you again more often, so you’ll likely exchange numbers. This time he tries to make sure to not lose contact with you and will text you every once in a while.

Gaz: When he was a child, Gaz was a lot calmer than he is today, a very quiet kid. He had always been a good boy, a gift in the eyes of many, but he wasn’t as active a child as one would imagine. Ergo he didn’t have very many friends until he became older either, but he was loyal to the few he did have. You were one of them. As you slowly started to grow apart, he started to miss you, but didn’t want to bother you either, as much as he would have loved to do so. So I’m sure you can imagine the surprise on his face when he found you at the mall the two of you would hang out in during rainy days. Gaz has become more confident, so he’d immediately walk up to you once he recognises you and start talking. Like Price, he’d be pleasantly surprised to just see you in such a mundane place, but won’t question it. Or complain about it either. In fact, if you’re not carrying anything heavy, he’d be the one to suggest going out to eat or drink something. Again, either a small and quiet cafe or a small restaurant. Maybe you’d go to a place you liked when you were kids, if it’s still open. Regardless, it’d be hard to get him to shut up with how excited he is to have you around. It’s a calm kind of excitement, but he’s happy, and that’s what’s important. It’s very likely that he’ll pay for your food, even if you insist he shouldn’t, but it’s not like he has any other use for his money. Chatting with him about the good old times is very sweet, he likes to bring up all the good things. But eventually, he’ll thank you for everything you’ve done for him and how happy he was to have you as a friend. Considering there were very few people who tried to get to know him, he was quite lonely, but you fixed that. You made everything better. From the pain on his knee when he fell as you gave him a band-aid, to the pain in his heart when the other children ridiculed him. Like Price, he’ll ask you if you want his number so you could continue to keep in contact with each other. He knows it’ll likely never be the same again, but he can pretend everything is as good as it used to be back when he was young. He’d love to spend time with you again.

Ghost: This man has had one of the worst childhoods imaginable. He was abused by his father, and the only friends he had aside from you were his mother and his brother. Barely anyone was kind towards him or accepted him considering he had always been the weird kid. No one but you wanted to spend time with him. Needless to say, Ghost had taken a liking to you when he was younger. You spent your time with him, you even defended him when some of the other kids ridiculed him. And now, 12 years later, he finds you running after a coin you accidentally dropped on the ground, bumping into him as you did so. He’d be wide eyed at first, a bit quiet as well. Once you left he never would have thought he’d ever find someone like you again, but here you were, just as quiet and surprised to see him. Ghost would pick up the coin for you and ask you how you’ve been. It had been a while. Although he’s not usually one to smile, especially not in public, you could see him faintly do so. He’s become a quiet man, so he won’t be talking too much about everything, especially not everything that happened after he joined the military, but he’s more than willing to talk to you about other matters. His life has become better over the past few years, but that doesn’t mean he isn't scarred still. He’ll offer you a walk to just about anywhere, really, even if the final destination will always end up being one of the places you used to hang out in as children. An abandoned house, a park, a mall. Manchester is a fairly large city, so there’s much to see. It would be a bit rough to catch up with him entirely, but he loves to hear about everything you’ve accomplished. You’ve become such a mature person, it warms his heart to see how far you’ve come in life. Back then, when everything was so bleak, when neither of you thought you’d see your 28th birthdays, everything was different. But now, you’re smiling at him as you’re drinking your milkshake. You seem to be better off, and so is he. It makes him nostalgic to see all of this, but he’s happy. Ghost will offer you to come to his home if you want. Even now, he still loves you dearly as a friend and couldn’t be happier about the fact he’s found you again by chance.

Laswell: When she was young she was a healthy mix of rowdy and good. While she never caused much trouble, she did stand up for herself when she needed to. However, this alone was enough to get the attention of some awful people. People either liked her or hated her, there usually was no inbetween for them. Some people did try to bully her, but it never ended well since she would fight for herself, plus she had some good friends who would do the same for her. However, none of them could compare to you, as you were her best friend. All her joys she would celebrate with you, and all of her sadness she would share with you. Back then, things were simpler, something small meant the end of the world, but you always had each other’s backs. Laswell tries to not think about you too much since you slowly drifting apart is quite painful to her. As she grew older, she learned to live with the pain and it didn’t bother her as much. Still, she was very happy when you were sending her a message after all this time. She may have been at work, but responded to you immediately, having missed you just as much as you missed her. Once you meet up it’s evident you’ve both grown a lot older. Laswell has been working for the CIA since her twenties, so it’s been almost thirty years. You have a lot to catch up on, but you take your time, eating at a fancy restaurant and spending hours there, laughing at everything that’s happened. Laswell would show you photos of all the places she’s visited during her downtime. She’s seen almost the entire world, some of it with her wife, some of it without her. Although she doesn’t usually tell people she’s married, to another woman too, she knows you’re a safe person, you’ve always accepted her as she was. Considering how happy you looked when you saw her wife, she continued to tell you about the world. But you get your chance to tell her about everything that’s happened to you as well. If the conversation goes especially well, Laswell might invite you to a few outings every once in a while, after you’ve met up a few more times. Plus you get to meet her wife eventually as well, which is a real privilege. Considering how much she loves her and wants to protect her, not many know about her. It’ll be fun either way since you get to make more memories together again.

hiiii just wanted to say that your drawing from december of RD and Spitfire being Scoots' mums gave me nothing but joy and life and happiness and wondered if you had any headcanons about Spitfire and Scoots' relationship (stepmom bonding with the stepdaughter?)

Ok listen, LISTEN. Spitfire learning that little Scootaloo can't fly but still loves adrenaline? With her little scooter??? There is only one logical bonding activity: Motor bike rides.

I definitely think Spitty has a need to fly but even on ground she probably rides a motor bike. And she would love to take Scootaloo with her.

I hc Scoots being somewhat shy when initially meeting Spitfire. Kinda like when you meet a celebrity - it just leaves you speechless and awkward. But once Spitfire sits her the first time (when Rainbow was supposed to spend the day with her but unfortunately became way too sick) they just hit it off.

I see Spitfire as not thinking of herself as a parent and being a mom for most of her life. She's career-driven and loves her job with the Wonderbolts way too much. She can't handle being around small Children and babies too well (which is also a funny canon comic moment btw). A kid doesn't really fit into it all. But Scootaloo easily makes her change her mind. Especially because there is the added bonus of meeting Rainbow much more. Spitfire pretty quickly starts to identify as a parental guidance to Scootaloo and soon after potential, actual family.

#side note: I actually see Spitfire more as a dad with her vibe and humor lmao #she definitely embraces the 'World's Best Dad' mug she is gifted from Scootaloo #Hell yeah she'll be dad #also yes Rainbow and Spitty being Scootaloo's family is giving me life #I love to hc both Scoots and Rainbow as orphans and them finding each other #and then finding Spitfire and her family ??? #dead #I love it #mlp spitfire #spitfire #scootaloo #mlp #my art #ask chim

Mile and Apo did a short Q & A interview for Spur Magazine where they mainly talked about Japan, what they want to do if they go there, what they like most about it and said something to their fans.

What’s most interesting is that a fan already bought their copy of the magazine (December issue)

and translated mileapo’s answer to the last question of the interview (page 104)

Apo: I feel that by thinking of the other, before my actions, our relationship has improved. Even if we have a difference of opinion, we will try to find a way to solve it.

Mile: Because we are close! I sometimes feel like, "Why don't you agree with my opinion?" In such cases, as Apo said, we discuss things properly and find a compromise. I guess we can do that because we’re of similar age ahah. Also we take care of each other without trying too hard

Apo: We sometimes give each other gifts! I work sincerely while sensing the condition of my loved ones. I guess that kind of mature, adult-like quality is part of our charm ahah.

—

Today, Spur Magazine did an IG live with the editor and editor in chief, to promote the new issue of the magazine:

The featured article is "Mile and Apo: A Weekend for Two".

Here is what they said during the live: (source)

The game of drawing portraits Mileapo did the other day is now available on TikTok and it’s very popular. It was very good and showed their personalities. Though the game was supposed to be funny and a bit of a joke, they were very quiet, serious, and concentrated. MileApo were very sincere to everything, and they were extremely nice people.

During the photoshoot, Apo suddenly sat down between the editor and the coordinator during a break in the shooting and spoke to them frankly. The editor (speaking in the live) was surprised at how natural he was. Apo asked something like "How are you doing? and was impressed that he always looked in the eye when he spoke to the editor.

The editor-in-chief & the editor were also in Paris, and when they approached to say hello at the Dior show, MileApo noticed them and greeted them very politely, saying thank you for the last shooting. (*so the photoshoot was held before the paris trip). Even in the chaos (after the show), there was calmness and peacefulness around the two of them. MileApo seemed to have an air of peacefulness that flowed only there. That atmosphere is also in this magazine.

During the online interview, there was a Wi-Fi problem and the connection became unstable, so MileApo took their own phones and asked them, "Can you see?" "Can you hear?"

When they were asked "Do you need a cushion?", it was also impressive that they looked out for each other.

+ bonus:

Mileapo completely captivated by the other speaking

Luke meditating with Grogu: "Take a deep breath and focus, little one. Feel the Force surround you and feel it deep within yourself. The Force is what binds together everything in this universe, and is what connects us to everything in turn — from the tadpoles swimming in the ponds around us, to the trillions of stars burning brightly in the night sky. The Force is life itself on the grandest and most minute of scales, and while its true nature will always remain out of our reach, the Force is with us just the same. So remember, though there will be times you will feel alone and afraid, so long as the twin suns will rise on Tatooine and the breeze will whisper through the bamboo forests on Ossus, the Force will always be with you, Grogu."

literally all that din hears: "SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG-"

#star wars #the mandalorian #dinluke #skydalorian #clan of three #Luke has tried on multiple occasions to explain what the Force is to Din #and Din gets even more confused with every attempt #mans literally just resigned himself to the fact that the cute blonde softgoth twink he co-parents his green son with is #literally just a demigod space wizard #why kick a gift dewback in the mouth? they raise grogu together help each other work through their traumas and the force sex is banger #luke can zen tf out as much as he wants he's still gonna give din the fattest juiciest jedussy in the galaxy

Slider gifts Goose of a t-shirt that says, in the very center of it and in bright colors, "Hey, Dickhead" and under it "(affectionate)".

They are in their fifties, and Goose wears it under his favourite hawaiian shirts every time he gets the chance.

(Partially, it's because Slider always laughs when he sees what he's wearing, and Goose's day gets a little better just from the sound of that.)

Hello! I feel like rereading Vargas these days so, I'd like to request some Edgar, Scriabin interaction (maybe one of them being vulnerable), if that's okay?

Day 14 - Stop making your lack of imagination my problem ò///q

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #Scriabin #I gotta be honest - I was initially stumped by this prompt lol #Me! The one who pines constantly! Nuts about these two specifically! Lol #(It's because my brain was all in on Adventure Time when it came in lol) #But that actually turned out to my advantage ♪ #If you've seen Fionna and Cake Episode 8 - you know #It's been enough of a bit since I gave the current song to them - I'll still occasionally stumble across a song to add to my Vargas playlis #But just the current earworm being gifted to them? It's been a bit! So I decided to give it a go for inspiration #Well if that scene already made me cry guess what giving the song to them did lol #Specifically ''I've seen worlds in you I didn't know how to dream'' like ugh kill me ♥ #Everyone go listen to Everything In You and yearn! Yearn with me!! Haha #Drawing them vulnerable is still a favourite of mine ♪ I love when they're sweet to each other #Edgar being affectionate! Love when that happens <3 #And a flustered Scriabin ♫ And yet they're not pushing each other they're just gently accepting each other <3 <3 #Plus drawing Edgar's hand like that was fun haha ♪♫ Gently hold ♥ #Fingers spread like that with his thumb on his cheek hhhhhh I can't not sweetness #Anyhow - enjoy your reread :D I'm still holding off so enjoy it for everyone if you would! Haha
