✮ previous chapters: #1 | #2

✮ my ask box is open!

“Daniel Joseph Ricciardo! Get up and get dressed!” My mom barges into my room, tossing a towel at me.

“Wha-“

“Aunt Mia’s birthday today. Look your best will you?”

Aunt Mia. Oh yeah right… theres gonna be a small gathering between our families. I guess that’s a given since she’s been friends with my mom ever since I was in nappies.

In my groggy state, I got up, showered and got ready. As usual, I put on a party shirt and paired it with denim shorts; my go-to outfit. Everyone was basically ready, they were seated in the living room waiting for me.

“Ready?” My mom asks.

“Yeah.”

★ ★ ★

After leaving McLaren, Daniel had more than enough time on his hands. So, he decides to come back home to spend more time with his family, why not right? Also he much more prefers the peace and quiet over the hustle and bustle of Monaco so he figured this was a win-win.

But at the back of his mind, Daniel knew he didn’t come back home just for that. He came back home in hopes you would be there too. There would have some sort of gathering and your mother would always invite his family. Deep down, he hoped that he would spot you in the crowd somewhere.

As soon as he enters your house, right after greeting your parents, his eyes immediately scans the living room. You weren’t there. But he was still hopeful that you would be somewhere in the backyard, sitting down laughing about something Ella said.

And like always, his feet brings him to the backyard, and his eyes scans all around for you.

He spots your sister chatting away with Ella but to his dismay, you weren’t there. He sighs to himself and shakes his head thinking “why do I even try? It’s the same every fucking time.”

So off he goes, grabbing himself a beer from the esky and sitting down on the steps of the porch, quietly sipping it just like he does every time there’s a gathering. He spots Caleb from afar, waving at him, making his presence known. Caleb waves back and walks over to him, doing the same thing he does; grabbing a beer and sitting down next to Daniel.

“How ya holding up?” He asks.

“What? In life? In general? But eh, i’m good both ways.“

“That’s good to hear. It’s good you’re taking a break. Good on ya, mate.”

Daniel was someone true to himself, if he wasn’t happy, there wasn’t a reason to stay. And McLaren proved just that, that there was no point putting your all into something that made you unhappy. Don’t get me wrong, racing does make him happy, but this was more like a “if you plant a good seed in bad soil, it will affect how it roots and grows.”

“Yeah… I’m happy with my decision. In a better place now.” He sips his beer.

“Staying for long this time?” Caleb asks.

“Maybe. We’ll see,” He takes another sip of his beer.

Caleb laughs, “Well, if you ever change your mind, come ov-“

“Ma! I’ve got the ice. Where should I put it?!” The familiar voice booms through the whole house.

Is that who I think that is? Is that…? Nah, it can’t be. It’s just my mind playing fucking tricks on me.

“In the esky! Down by the porch!”

“Okay!”

Daniel hears a set of footsteps making their way down to the porch. He doesn’t turn his head to look, afraid his suspicions might be right.

What is he gonna say to you after all these years? How should he start a conversation?

Instead, he just keeps sipping on his beer like it’s bottomless, zoned out…more like trying to not pay much attention to the voice he just heard. Her voice. Your voice.

“Goddamn this woman has me doing shit-“

Daniel hears you mutter to yourself. He chuckles, thinking “she hasn’t changed one bit”.

He notices that you were struggling to carry the ice pack when you pass by Caleb and then himself, which you don’t even realise is there, inches away from you.

“Hey, let me help you with that.” Daniel stands up, hands outreached to take the ice pack off of you. You still don’t realise it’s him.

“Are you su-“

You finally look up to the bloke who offered you help. Finally your eyes meet. You knew that voice sounded familiar, even though you hadn’t heard it in a while.

You froze like a deer caught in headlights when you finally face to look up at him.

The ice pack drops to the floor. “Daniel?” Was all you managed to croak out.

Oh how he hated hearing that name.

Daniel? You know how much I hate it when you call me that. So please, it’s Danny… He thought to himself.

For some reason, hearing ‘Daniel’ roll off your tongue hurt way more than McLaren betraying him.

“Y/N.”

A/N: oof this took me a whiiileee to publish!! life’s been keeping me busy. thank you for the wait! hope you enjoyed this chapter :) as always, feedback (good/bad) is appreciated! <3

Oh man does that mean that Rapunzel’s the only one in the main gang that doesn’t have her own wanted poster?

I mean, she does, but not the same kind of "wanted".

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭 #for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this #but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films. #NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days #and got blank stares each time #the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized #my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like #i’m getting off the point #the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

A while ago I was invited to contribute to the Form the Ashes ATLA fan Zine for @recovery-zine!

I got to illustrate this double spread! (which was terrifying, thank you) Pretty sure this is where the thought "Jee survived the north" began to form for me! The theme was about the war ending, peace settling and people getting to come home and reunite with loved ones.

Simon petrikov coping FAIL compilation

#HNNNGGGNNN!! SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT EPISODE 2…… #my art #adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #Fionna and cake spoilers #<- kind of??? maybe not really #I’m so glad ep 2 gave us some insight to that scene in obsidian #it’s such a shift from Simon saying he’d literally rather DIE than be the ice king again #BUT IT MAKES SENSE! #nostalgia can twist your perception of the past #and then mix that in with a metric ton of trauma ! #‘things were simpler back then’ #SIMON 99.5% OF YOUR LIFE AS ICE KING WAS AWFUL…. #I mean in the later seasons he does gradually gain acceptance and fit in with the others #but that just makes the CURRENT simons situation so much sadder it’s like he’s back at square 1 in some ways #WILL THE ISOLATION EVER END? #OK IM DONE RANTING IN THE TAGS

"kabru doesn't even like laios"

meanwhile, kabru:

#i dont even mean this as a romantic thing necessarily its just people do not understand kabrus relationship w laios at all #he was chasing after laios the whole time how could you say he hates or doesnt like laios #labru #kabru #laios touden #dungeon meshi #anyway the characters and relationships in this series are so good and so complex but ppl are incapable of seeing past surface level #and its frustrating

How do we even know all those items are associated with the house of yesterdays tomorrow? I know the seashell necklace looked nearly identical to the house itself, but how are the other things associated. I think I remember someone placing the dragon egg on the boat it arrived on, but that may not have been Matthews.

Magical seashell house.

Magical seashell necklace.

Blue orbs.

Dragon egg.

De-aging top (that messes with an individual's time).

Hourglass that sends people back in time. (With a dragon motif, see dragon egg.)

And I'm not saying all these objects in S3 do have to do with the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow, I'm saying they should have. There was what appeared to be a setup for Matthews/Tromus to return, and then it didn't happen.

Zhan Tiri and Demanitus had joint custody of three disciples, only one of whom is dead. Sugracha was locked in the Lost Realm with ZT at the end of "Painter's Block." Tromus was sent to the Lost Realm at the end of "Rapunzeltopia." ZT escaped the Lost Realm in "Cassandra's Revenge." A whole lot of characters got trapped in the Lost Realm in "Plus Est En Vous." And yet, despite having things in the show that reminded us of the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow, despite more than half the characters being trapped in the same place as Sugracha and Tromus, neither of them made another appearance in the rest of the show.

I'm just saying, there was an obvious setup that wasn't actually a setup, but should have been.

Incident on a July afternoon, 1881. A man named Driscoll who came and went and, in the process, learned a simple lesson, perhaps best said by a poet named Lathbury, who wrote, "Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, what are you weaving? Labor and sorrow? Look to your looms again, faster and faster fly the great shuttles prepared by the Master. Life's in the loom, room for it - room!" Tonight's tale of clocks and calendars - in The Twilight Zone.

In the third season of RTA episode No Time Like the Past, which is the six episode of the show...The characters wore different clothing so we can tell that they appear younger but not Varian since even his younger self, he admired wearing his season 1 attire.

Almost like Varian grows accustomed to his season 1 self.
