I know some people are worried that the fandom will die once the show ends but I can assure you that most of us are not going anywhere. I’ll just repeat what I said in the tags of another post because I don’t think I could phrase it better lol

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Ghosts it’s that the end isn’t really the end. We’ll just be continuing the show in it’s afterlife :) WE’LL be ones holding food club and film club, we’ll keep a seemingly old and run down place alive.

Everyone will still be writing fanfics, creating fanart and gifs, theories and headcanons. It is completely possible for fandom to continue without the media continuing.

All I’m saying is that the Ghosts fandom will remain alive and well even after the show ends :)

#if ghosts has 100 fans I’m one of them #if ghosts has 10 fans I’m one of them #if ghosts has 1 fan it’s me #if ghosts has 0 fans then I’m dead #I’ll rant about this show until the day I die lmao #alexa play ‘all things end’ by hozier #bbc ghosts

i actually hate seeing comments going, "alexa nikolas is starting beef with people for no reason" when all she does is CALL them out on their horrible behavior and suddenly, she's the bad guy? like maybe she overreacted but with someone like her still healing from the trauma she endured, of course she's gonna act the way she does. and when people say that she has to "move on" from her trauma because it happened so long ago. yall just don't understand how much an event can leave a permanent scar on their life. you guys should NEVER have a say on survivors timelines of their healing process, it's none of your fucking business

oh and side note here: people bashing her for calling out matt rife who made a joke about dv, telling her that "no one can take a joke anymore" and it makes me sick

#also the people calling her antisemitic for supporting palestine makes me so angry #or saying she doesn't care about male survivors because she supports amber heard...... i can't even #yall are supporting and dick riding an abuser like........ take a look in the mirror #alexa nikolas #tw: abuse #jaiden rants

Rough fingers

Today, I learned that my mom is dying.

Personally, it isn't news, I've been a witness of my mother's mortality ever since I was six years old. She knew sickness before she even met me, and now I'm afraid the disease will be by her side for longer than I.

The doctors don't even know what it is, so there's no treatment, just thousands of pills to ease the pain. My house always felt more like a pharmacy than a home.

The doctors don't know that it is but I do: it's unfair.

It's being eight years old watching your mother shaking; it's being thirteen feelling her faint in your arms; it's being a fifteen years old staying at home to watch your younger siblings; it's being sixteen going through everything alone because your mother already has too much to bare; it's being seventeen years old willing away her tears while learning how to interpret exams results.

It's a lifetime of waiting — and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting — for the worst.

I want her to see me graduate, I don't want to be the one who makes the other hair.

Please Gods, let my mom be strong enough to make a braid.

Deep down I would still really love seeing charles winning in ferrari instead of changing teams, but it doesn't feel like there's any hope honestly.

like, before was "next year is our year" but now even next year already seems doomed

https://twitter.com/FUnoAT/status/1667556319463702533?t=W3fsCNE2itVZqVKqw1AGbg&s=19

Oh no gang 🤐 I remember seeing a tweet or something saying June is likely going to be crunch time at Ferrari when it comes to preparation for 2024. I know Fred's been trying to poach staff where he can, especially engineers, and I know some of them have been released/are due to finish their gardening period soon, but there have also been setbacks, and ultimately I don't think he ended up getting the guys he was after, certainly not all of them. I'm really hoping next year's project is a step in the right direction, but there's no denying they're in a difficult place right now so it could really go either way. With how strong (and most importantly stable) Red Bull's situation looks, with Aston's facilities and upgrade packages, and with Mercedes seemingly starting to steer the ship in the right direction once again, Ferrari are definitely on the back foot.

Also, being in the middle of a little nostalgia fest right now and looking back at content from 2019, particularly the interviews and longer feature docus centered around Charles... a lot of the magic of the time stemmed from the fact that he was so young and on the rise. I mean, his second year in F1 overall and his debut season in Ferrari and he already showed so much promise and talent and determination. I think he was really this injection of new youthful energy into the team, into the Tifosi as a whole (even Seb called this "new beginning" with Charles joining the team one of the best moments of his Ferrari career, which is huge). Up to that point Ferrari had generally banked on established drivers, often champions. And here's a young hotshot who doesn't yet know the taste of winning and has this fervent desire to experience it in red. He had a clear goal in sight and he pursued it relentlessly, even if it meant getting caught up in questionable on-track situations. There was maybe a bit of naivety in that, but also a lot of boldness and tenacity that can only come from being young and wanting to prove yourself. Add to that a dash of his penchant for self-criticism, and you can totally see why the world was so swept up in the rookie Ferrari driver's story, why he became the main subject of character study fics at the time. It was fascinating. Like, sometimes, more than anything, I would just love to be able to go back and experience all of that again, just live in that brief moment in time when it really seemed like the only way is up and things can only get better.

But now we're halfway through 2023. 2019 was, somehow, unbelievably, already four years ago. And the story that was supposed to be filled with success and victories has been marred by misfortune and subpar machinery. Now he's no longer a 21-year old sensation winning in Monza, but just another title-less driver in their 20s trying to do the best with what they've got. His career has pretty much stalled and he's being increasingly criticized more than he's being praised (not that he escaped criticism in 2019-20, far from it, but there's a little bit of leniency to be found when someone's young and starting out, or when they can respond to this criticism with a win because the facilities are there). From being called the "Vettel Slayer" or whatever, to being ranked on par with or even below Carlos. What was once an engrossing clash of young generational talents (Silverstone 2019, anyone?) has become a completely unfair, skewed comparison that is ultimately used to portray Charles in a negative light. So the whole thing has lost its shine a bit, and what started out as a journey full of hope and potential is now increasingly turning into a drawn-out tragicomedy.

And obviously the disappointing, frustrating thing is that it's largely down to circumstance and whatever the hell is going on internally within that team that's preventing them from performing at their best. The stats are bleak, and it's so frustrating to know that the results table on Wikipedia or any other site aren't a genuine reflection of his talent and abilities, but they're ultimately what people remember and choose to base their perception of a driver on. Objectively he's still young and he can still go far, but equally, this sport can be ruthless and cruel and success is hard to reach if the stars don't align. Statistically speaking, he's got about ten years left in his career as a full-time driver, give or take. Fernando's more of an exception than the rule, and there's even less Lewises out there (having his most successful run in his 30s, so in the back half of his career.) Then again, even if the Mercedes stint had completely not worked out for him, he still wouldn't be going home empty-handed, because he was already crowned champion once before he joined. I think that frees you up, mentally and otherwise, to focus on other pursuits. Crossing that threshold and getting your first championship is always the hardest step. The thought of Charles never finding out what that feels like and being left to wonder what could have been is really hard to take. :/

#replies #anonymous #alexa play wasting my young years by london grammar 😭😭😭😭 #very very sorry about the long and unwarranted rant im just in feels recently :< #it's so hard rewatching say 2019 interviews or hell even hearing the commentary during sessions #and how they always talk about charles getting a title like it's a sure thing and merely a matter of time #and maybe that can still prove to be true but at the moment things look pretty bleak esp in terms of winning with ferrari #it's depressing to know just how many pieces of the puzzle have to fall into place for a driver to clinch a title these days #and seeing how ferrari doesn't seem to know how to find their way back to consistently winning.......... one fear #charles leclerc #discussions and predictions #long post

movie idea (long, sorry)

i so desperately need to see a romcom starring Alexa Demie and Rory Culkin, where they meet at a party, both bored and don't know anyone. Rory starts the conversation awkwardly (as he always is), Alexa thinks he's sweet, they hit it off, exchange numbers and schedule a date. They both go home for the night and it turns out Alexa has a teenage daughter (played by Jenna Ortega), they have a fairly good relationship with each other. So a few weeks pass and Rory and Alexa are a thing, Alexa told Jenna about him but never introduced the two to each other. Another thing about Alexa is Jenna's dad's (played by Tyler Posey) parents LOVE Jenna and Alexa, a little more than their own son maybe. So they visit them for Thanksgiving or a wedding or some family get-together situation. They get to the house and Alexa knocks on the door and guess who answers the door? Rory! They have this little "omg what are you doing here?" Dots connecting moment and it turns out Rory is actually Tyler's brother 🙀. Jenna knows he's her uncle and her and Alexa's CONVO is like "why didn't you tell me" "he has a very common name you should have been more specific". Meet-the-parents esque shenanigans induce and at the end Alexa and Rory has a "i love you and that's all that matters" ending, very cute kiss scene, Tyler's wondering what the hell's going on, his parents are gushing and Jenna is not looking forward to the next family gathering.

TLDR: bringing back mid-budget 90s-00s romcoms with Alexa Demie and Rory Culkin

#rory culkin #alexa demie #jenna ortega #tyler posey #romcom #movie idea #rant post #i am so so sorry if this is too long #i just want to see my fave celebs kiss is that too much to ask? #i really hope paul dano sees this on one of his secret accounts and tells his wife she should make it happen

I hate when people do shit like this it’s so cruel

I know I’m not good looking but you don’t have to tag your friends in my photos and say mean things like just leave people alone :)) I’ve been bullied for how I look since childhood and been “accused” of being a trans woman by transphobes in more recent years due to how I look like I already have body image problems and this shit doesn’t help at all
