#i still have to write about what I was thinking of regarding their styles of showing love but I have been wanting to collect more evidence#hmm maybe I should just write it <- scholarship? scholarship for the starving masses? 🥺
Okay let's get to this. I'll do a more coherent post when I have more evidence, but some fractured thoughts for now.
The way Pecco expresses affection to his bike: That two fingered kiss pressed onto the frame of the Ducati. The exaggerated quick massaging motion. It's almost as if the bike is human to Pecco. There is love but also a respectful distance, a recognition of personhood. The bike is something you work to build a relationship with, just like anyone you love in this life. The bike is something that brings you success and glory, so you thank it, you prove yourself worthy of riding it, you give it a kiss, you understand that the bike has its quirks and you love it for, and despite those quirks. Which (to me, okay) seems like Pecco's relationship with his loved ones in general (I'll elaborate that later, it's a jumble of thoughts). Also this year Pecco has been doing his fair share of goon riding for show. Imo the only purpose is to draw attention to yourself and your championship winning machine. Here, it's me and my baby, we're a winning team, here, we have fun. Because love is also a little bit about showing off, tastefully, of course.
The way Bezz expresses love to his bike: Gentle slow circles rubbed on the frame, bringing his entire body as close to the bike as possible, smallest pats on the side, as if placing his hand on the chest of a loved one, momentarily resting his helmet covered head on the frame of the bike. Characteristic lack of distance, motions so small and controlled that they could only be communicated between two beings that are so in tune that every other sensation is simply noise. To Bezz, the love for his bike is like an ancient animal understanding that exists between two bodies. There is no explanation for it, no justification, the connection is there and the thread that ties the two beings together thrums with a life of its own. Nobody has to prove to be worthy of the other one, the bond is there, and it's a positively reinforced feedback loop. The more your honor the inherent connection between two bodies the stronger it grows, under duress or during good times. Which is just Bezz is general isn't he, everyone likes him, there is no effort required to be loved, to be adored. His team, his mechanics, Vale, academy folks, everyone on MotoGPblr, almost everyone watching MotoGP, everyone likes Bezz.
Pecco wants to be worthy of his bike. He works to earn that love. Bikefucking as a desire tied to aspiration.
Bezz is connected to his bike like two beings that just know they have a need to belong together. Bikefucking as something your mind and body just does.

tiefling twednesday!!!!!
my friend is running the wild beyond the witchlight starting end of january and i'm SO EXCITED!!!!! i've wanted to play witchlight since it came out and i kept getting closer to just giving up and running it myself just so someone would get to play it but now!! i get to play!!
i'd been toying with a few ideas for various classes since the dm said she wanted to run it but the moment it became real i tossed them all out the window and went back to my warlock roots
meet Foxglove! i don't have all their details ironed out yet, but their vague backstory is that they were abandoned as a baby in the forest by their birth parents who didn't want a tiefling. they were found and brought into the feywild by a clan of pixies who raised them. they're fun loving and carefree and mischevious, as befits someone raised by pixies. their warlock patron is Zybilna the fairy godmother.
some fun facts are that they are 6.5 feet tall (with the antlers), they're a vegetarian (really more of a frugivore), they collect little things (lost objects, shiny rocks, etc), and they looked very different as a baby but being in the feywild for so long influenced their appearance as they grew up

Hey all, so I have a Kitten Update. We're planning to take Roxie (Maraly's feistiest kitten) to what is hopefully her new family tomorrow (Saturday, 2/17) afternoon. I say hopefully because this is the first kitten who will go to someone we don't know, so if their vibes are really off when we meet we'll call off the deal, but they seem like the perfect people for her! They already have a one-year-old female Bengal so they know what they're getting into with getting a baby Bengal, and they have two old dogs who are already buddies with the Bengal they have. There are also two kids (10 and 12) in the house which is !!! exactly the age I thought she'd be perfect for !!!!
While we are very hopeful about this going well it's going to be hard to give Roxie up. She is the embodiment of mischief and an absolute troublemaker, but she is SO sweet. She loves to cuddle and snuggle and when you scoop her up into your arms she immediately settles into them- even if you just grabbed her to scold her for her shenanigans! She has such a big purrsonality and we're all going to miss her terribly.... especially since we just lost Tulip last week. It's making this so much harder than it would have been and while I want to be happy and hopeful I'm really struggling to fight dread and sadness about giving this feisty, spirited, sweet kitten up.
So, with that said, prayers are appreciated for all involved. Peace and comfort for me and my parents, and peace and a quick adjustment for Roxie and her new family.
P.S. Roxie and the other little girls have recovered wonderfully from getting spayed, you can barely even tell where Roxie's incision was!
