With the latest video uploaded by That GF Fan, now I realized that what could have been different if Ford wasn't impulsive enough to give Stan a Journal 3 away. In his video, he pointed out that Journal 2 is more dangerous than Journal 3, as well as acknowledging Gideon summoned Bill Cipher with Journal 2 in the first place.

To think about this topic, what Journal he should have given to Stan is...hmm, Journal 2 perhaps? Wishing that he wouldn't use magics for his own gain or summon Bill? Or, if he wasn't too impulsive when he chose Journal 3 I guess I can find a reason behind in here. It was too dangerous to give it away to someone like Stan, perhaps.

Maybe this would give an inspiration for some potential AU ideas; What if Stan received Journal 2 instead of Journal 3?

Anyway, here's the video you can take notes! Credit goes to That GF Fan.

Edit: I realized that Stan eventually got Journal 1 and hadn't seen 3 for three decades. Sorry folks, it's my mistake.

I’m writing this as I smoke my last cigarette. That is a lie—I smoked it four hours ago—but it sounds dramatic, so I’m keeping it in.

It’s just too damn easy to waste too much time, especially as an alcoholic—a drug addict, mentally fractured, emotionally incapable, a psychologist’s worst nightmare and biggest pay day. When it comes time to rise towards the surface, there are only fragments left of what could’ve been. What should’ve been. The life you were meant to live if you weren’t such a fucking disappointment; always looking for an escape to the stars, to live inside the moon. Too much time has past, nobody is sure when or where, and when you’re finally able to notice the damage is irreversible. Failed at the life you weren’t even able to live. All for-

All for what? Does it even matter at this point?

I’m not a very good person. I try to be, but as I’ve sobered up, I’m starting to become disturbed by thoughts and recollection; scrutinizing my past, judging my character—situations and events, whether they were in my control or not is purely irrelevant. I’m catching myself asking, if there was ever any goodness inside of me, had I burned it all away with careless disposition? Or was there nothing to begin with? Sour from the start. A small kid without the correct mind to survive in such a world, cold to the touch. All of which begs the question: maybe I deserve to be where I’m at now?

It’s easy to blame it on the substances, but when I’m sitting alone with nothing but the moon casting its spell from my window drapes to the paint speckled floorboards, it’s hard to hide from admitting that perhaps I wasn’t as out of control as I’d like to believe. I knew what was right and wrong, yet I did it anyway—what does that make me? A sinner, soulless? A human in its barest sense, created for the purpose of making mistakes to be corrected? Is that trying to somehow bring sympathy to the Devil?

stoner thoughts

so do you think if we rotate the universe on the z axis and swap negatives with positives and positives with negatives. so instead of a number line being -5-4-3-2-1012345 to 543210-1-2-3-4-5. like how does that connect to space? cuz there's space within space yknow? we already know that. just how close are we to figuring out space? will we figure it out? will we ever know?

The Sainz Effect on Media: What the Hell is Going On?

Last weekend, Carlos Sainz Jr. won the 2024 Australian GP, and subsequently, almost every single F1 media outlet has seemingly lost their minds. From the aramco power rankings giving him a perfect score (despite Max not getting one for a grand slam last weekend), to motorsport.com acting like a fan account, everyone is tripping over themselves to sing his praises.

F1 is a complex sport, it requires several different aspects to even get a car moving, even more to make it competitive, and even more to enable a championship fight. From driver line-up, to aero, from international politics, to tyre deg. There's no other sport like it. To truly be an expert in Formula 1, you have to have knowledge of how a track works, an understanding of combustion engines and aerodynamics, a grasp of interpersonal and sports psychologies, and a sense of international relations. This is why, even more so than any other sport, good journalism is vital to the sport's ecosystem. No one person can be expected to be an expert in all these areas, you need a team of people who are willing to pool their knowledge and resources before coming up with conclusions to disseminate to their audience.

But media also likes narrative, and media likes an underdog, that is undeniable. And you can create an excellent underdog narrative with Carlos. From losing his seat despite his teammate keeping his, to him having to get his appendix out in Jeddah, the circumstances are there to set up an underdog narrative. But the crux of the issue is this: anyone with any sort of F1 wheel knowledge understands why Charles was kept over Carlos (a better driver even in a car built away from his driving style, who is revered almost as a messiah figure amongst the traditional fans of the team), why Sir Lewis Hamilton is a much more desirable asset to a top team than Carlos (7x world champion, who brings in a massive draw for talent that will far outlast his stint with Ferrari). So what do you do with these characters who don't match the narrative that you want to push?

Simple. You discredit them.

Make no mistake, this is what we're seeing across every major F1 news outlet in the past week. A plain journalistic choice to choose narrative over integrity. There's all sorts of rumours whizzing around as to why that could be: from possible covert payouts from Sainz Sr, to possible misogyny towards Leclerc fans to pundits simply not being bothered to do their research. But the why of it, although important, doesn't matter nearly as much as the fact that however you look at it, these journalists are failing the sport they claim to love. What's even worse, is that it takes a simple glance at numbers to tell us that these media outlets are digging themselves a hole, and are going to have to backtrack or try and excuse their belief in this narrative in the coming months.

Let's take a common line that Sky Sports like to use as an example, "Carlos Sainz is driving for himself. How incredible would it be if Carlos could compete for the championship this year." Max Verstappen will likely win the championship this year, there are no ifs and buts about it. Red Bull are still developmentally leaps ahead of their rivals, and even if Ferrari were to catch them, Max is still at the wheel. And if Ferrari were to catch them, why would Ferrari prioritise Carlos over Charles? The only driver who has been proven to be able to beat Max in his current form at Red Bull on pure pace is Charles Leclerc, which he achieved in Las Vegas last year, and would've gone on to take the win at that same race if not for the safety car. The most likely championship fight this year is Max Verstappen vs. Charles Leclerc, and that's hinging on Ferrari matching Red Bull development. This outcome is blindingly obvious to anyone who knows how this sport works, and yet the current media angle seems to not be to explain how the sport works to the general public, but rather to double down on narratives that are certainly going to be proven incorrect in a manner of months, if not weeks.

Let's look at another common angle the media seem to like to take, "You have to ask, did Ferrari make a mistake swapping out Carlos Sainz for Lewis Hamilton?". Now, if you've been even near a TV showing F1 in the past ten years, it's pretty obvious this answer is of course not. Lewis Hamilton is likely the greatest driver of all time, his name in a lot of cases outshines the sport itself. No other driver on this grid even comes close to his level of acclaim. This reason alone is enough for Ferrari to sign him. Ferrari has not won a championship in close to two decades, the best and brightest engineers want to be working where they know the results are going to come from, and right now, as a stellar engineer, Red Bull or Mercedes or even McLaren would be a choice over Ferrari, which has the added hurdle of moving to Maranello (considering nearly all the other teams are located in the Midlands in the United Kingdom). Acclaim aside, Lewis Hamilton is still a very impressive driver. P3 in the championship last year to a Red Bull 1-2 is not something to be taken lightly, considering his teammate finished in P8 in the same car with only one more retirement. It does make pure racing sense to sign him over Carlos, who finished in P7, especially since Ferrari have an up and coming talent in Ollie Bearman, and what they need is someone with experience to fill that gap until Ollie can make it to Ferrari, and will likely happily step aside when that time comes at some point in the next five years.

However, has there been a single major F1 news outlet calmly and rationally explaining this thought process for those who may enjoy the sport but are not experts? No. Instead, what we get is Sainz sensationalism, and bias so explicit it tips right over into unprofessional. From The Race saying that a Sainz/Leclerc civil war is Leclerc fan hysteria, despite their own outlet running an article just months ago about tensions in Ferrari, to motorsport.com creating a CV for Carlos, and then proceeding to harass fans who ask why they are so keen to ignore facts. Every single F1 outlet seems to have lost their minds.

The sad thing is this will only backfire massively on Carlos himself. Charles will outperform Carlos, every metric from the past year indicates so. Ferrari may be in the running for the WCC by the midpoint of the season, but Carlos's win will fade into distant memory long before we reach Spa, and the average enjoyer will look back on all this crazy media hype and go "hm, well he didn't live up to expectations did he? He was massively overrated." And this too, will be the fault of F1 media.

In conclusion, F1 media sensationalism has failed Charles, Lewis, and Max, it will fail Carlos in the coming months, but most of all, it has failed the fans of the sport, by choosing to focus on far-fetched narratives, rather than deliver proper journalism and build equally compelling narratives out of the data on the table. It highlights a lack of skill and awareness, which threatens the entire ecosystem of the sport that we all know and love.

I know art is something where everyone must interpret the details in their own way and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but here I want to talk about some details from here:

I once walked in the forest and saw three trees with eyes painted on them with white paint, it really fascinated me.

It’s more difficult with an inverted cross, but in short, this is a projection of my personal struggles.... but I’ve already come up with a little story about how, out of piety, dude ended up with an inverted cross...) I hope I’ll do this story. And the red lightning. A literal insanity in his world

I started drawing it on the power of anger. thats it.
