#reading this made me so so very happy

[rickybaby]

Ricciardo is underselling himself as being “back to normal Daniel”, though. Having stayed in touch with him through this period since leaving McLaren, seen his ups and downs through his Red Bull, Renault and McLaren stints and heard how he’s used the time away from the sport (in a racing capacity) to recharge physically and mentally and ease the pressure that had constantly been on his shoulders for around a decade, it feels – if anything – like he’s levelled up.

He himself says he’s “not really scared of anything that is going to be thrown my way” having “been through a lot the last few years”. Those sentences alone show how far he has come.

[…]You can tell he’s relishing the challenge of not only jumping in mid-season (last time he did that, he made his F1 debut with Hispania) but finding a way to scramble some points in a car that is currently the slowest of all and rooted to the bottom of the constructors’ championship. He knows it’s going to be really hard – but he’s backing himself to get the job done.

[…]That might still only mean points here and there, but those points will be crucial in what is a tight fight in the constructors’ championship from seventh through to 10th.

And that kind of good job would make a return to the Red Bull works team a genuine possibility. It’s a heck of a challenge – but he says with impressive conviction that he’s up for it. Yep, the confidence and belief is certainly back. This is going to be fun to watch.

Ricciardo is falling back in love with F1 and is ready to go again – this is going to be fun to watch

#Lawrence is actually the only journalist allowed to ever interview Daniel from now on #I don’t care if people are going to call this a puff piece of PR or whatever #reading this made me so so very happy #he’s not just back to his old self but he’s ‘levelled up’ #he’s ready for the challenge he’s confident in what he can achieve #he’s backing himself the fuck up #and that confidence is so sexy on him #and I know it’s going to be tough seeing him maybe in the bottom half of the timing sheets #but you know what? if that’s what the car is only capable of and he is managing to extract the maximum of performance from it #and he’s happy doing it #it’ll be so fun to watch #and for people doubting what he can do in that car don’t forget what he achieved in that Renault in 2020 #as long as there’s people willing to listen to him and help him we’ll be ok #daniel ricciardo

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Yes: there are people who read these comics who don't know much about mdzs. Several are my beloved and supportive friends B'*) #This comic in particular is one that I've been thinking about for a very long time and I'm so happy to finally be here! #I was trying to think about how to explain the social rules of the forehead ribbon and the reason lwj was so upset #and the metaphor of 'it's kind of like wwx accidently undoing lwj's bikini in front of a crowd.' came to mind. #of course there's a bit more to it than that but the point here is that - accident or not - it still embarrasses lwj #wwx doesn't get the entire context behind it (at the time. Now he *does* and it all makes a bit more sense) #But he knows he made lwj upset. He knows he doesn't want to put lwj in another embarrassing situation. #Not after all this. Not after everything. Not after realizing that his desire for friendship might be the kind of desire that ruins lan zha #Love the symbolism of the archery outfits being red during this moment of 'whoops only married couples can do that' moment. #What if we accidental proposed............accidental marriage....accidental kiss the bridegroom....accidental fall in love. #Guess we did inadvertently get the puffy sleeves and bikini outfits in the end. #wwx in an old timey bathing suit is so important to me. I'll die on this hill. #lwj's cute little box is inspired by @lazycranberrydoodles's cute fan art <3 I love it a lot

creative notes:

#i wrote my best stuff when i was at my very worst mentally #both RED and Patchwork Canary were written during an emotional pit #i struggled for a while. thinking about that #especially since those two came so easily to me back then and its so difficult to write anything like it these days #but i think id trade being happy over writing Only Bangers any day #closure #i made this comic series about the worst period of my mental health ever and now its over #its 10pm #and i dont know who i am #and thats fine. ill figure it out as i go. #thank you for reading #and thank you for your support #i promise my next project wont be as sad #stillindigo art #comic art #stillindigo comics

#asks #ANSWERING THIS a bit late… thank you for sending this!! i’m Very relived to hear ppl liked this comic amcndmf #when i read thru the tags i was like thank god….. it was definitely a test of my Comics execution skill as opposed to story tbh #so when ppl pointed out paneling and stuff i felt like i did a good a job (happy) #but then on top of it ppl liked the writing too and that made me explode a krillion times (/positive)

[cc-kote]

#kylux #hyperspace stories spoilers #kylo ren #general hux #goD look at them #also this comic fuckign #follows a very similar pattern that so many kylux fics do it made me smile so big #it was amazing i bought it and read it at like 6am and i was so happy

[poorly-drawn-puppet-history]

so let me get this straight, watcher:

An unknown party is planting VHS tapes on your own set weekly, containing ad reads by:

a self-proclaimed professor

who mentions unfortunate encounters with horses

who has an 'estranged wife'

whose jacket is tan and tie and red

who is a 'gamer'

whose image flickered in like a hologram in an earlier ad read,

and you want us to just like, not think Something Smells Fishy. OK...

#mod post #mystery files #puppet history #watcher entertainment #shane madej #my actual theories? it's very possible these are being made and planted by the substitute and that's what i'd put my money on. however #at times it seems like he's sort of uncertain what to say next or like he's coming up with things on the spot? so i think it would be funny #if these were being made and sent by the puppets in purgatory; we know they make their own ads for their own shows and they were able #to send A Hologram to the Realm Of The Living so maybe a VHS isn't out of the question. this then makes me think that someone in there has #accidentally made up a character who's Just The Professor Himself Kinda. sorry guys not everyone is cut out for the writer's room !! #honestly though that seems like a happy end for them. i think they should be allowed to make watcher ad reads and their silly TV shows #instead of necessarily Having to go to the afterlife! #my third theory is this is just watcher having fun and doing it purposely. it fits that the corkboard show would have us doing the same

luckybeartoys has now shown The Boy in his box, and he looks so fucking fluffyyyyy

the back of the box reads:

Oopsy Bear is clumsy which continually affects himself and others. But Oopsy, using all the caring in his heart of gold, gets in touch with his inner oops!! And stumbles to the rescue of his friends.

While at first, it may seem like poor Oopsy is doomed to spend his life in second place, his true potential begins to shine through as he overcomes his own disabilities, often putting forth more effort and dedication to solving problems as they arise.

honestly i'm beyond thrilled that they truly acknowledge oopsy as a disabled bear. now if we could get them to also actually use the word autistic, i'd be ecstatic. but as it stands, seriously them saying that oopsy is disabled is a big thing (they did not use to put it that way, he was only clumsy and had struggles)

#care bears #oopsy bear #as someone who has always projected on oopsy just reading his box blurb made me so happy #i really hope they release him in america too then ill have my custom oopsy and an official one lol #and i might do my very best to get this one too bc i love the aussie bears so much

Servant Sun could be confortable if lord Eclipse decided to hug him??

Since he said he loved his "god" (im surprise if a Sun is confortable enough to hug a Eclipse)

LOVE THE CENTIPEDE GOD DESIGN

AAAA THIS IS SUCH A FUN ASK ANON ILY !!!!

I wouldn't exactly say comfortable, just... accepting.

Despite his insistence that he is truly and wholly devoted to Lord Eclipse, I think it'd be hard to ever truly get comfortable in the arms of your god when you have a bug phobia and he has shifted his body to mimic a centipede LMAO 😭

Plus, Lord Eclipse is more likely to hug Sun unconsciously, which might actually make it dangerous to move away or point out what he's doing! Lord Eclipse would probably be humiliated.

... but! if Servant Sun did get a real actual genuine hug from Lord Eclipse, it'd probably just lead to a lotta confusion LOL

#asks #anon #xero creations #THIS ASK MADE ME SO HAPPY I LOVE THAT U READ MY TAGS AND THEN ASKED ME ABOUT IT EEEEEE #ALSO THANK U SM I'M GLAD U LIKE HIS DESIGN AAAAAA IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME <3<3<3 #On topic tho!! I don't think Sun would ever be the one to initiate a hug! #Maybe in the very very /very/ early days... but Lord Eclipse was very set on making sure Sun was /behaving/ back then #and now because of that! Sun knows better than to try something like that with his god #maybe sometimes he wishes for a gentler god tho... :( #sun and moon show #the sun and moon show #tsams #lord eclipse au #lord eclipse #servant sun #sunvant #centiclipse

guys wake up new C coloring pic just dropped <333 have some teefs i drew awhile ago that i probably never posted here

#this was a banger drawing and C made it so much cooler with the paint splatter ty for the addition #also it makes me happy to hear you like how i draw nero bc. i dont know how to draw him actually ahsdghkajd hes very hard to draw #anyway. sparda chompers supremacy. these boys have sharp teeth and they WILL bite someone with them #devil may cry #dante(dmc) #vergil(dmc) #nero(dmc) #fan's colorings #everything from here on out is directed at C bc i have no other ways to talk to them so you guys can stop reading here <3 #hey C! i actually didnt see what your first submission was bc i didnt even receive it lmao #but i just want to say that you dont have to worry about anything; what i said the other day wasnt directed at you at all #i do enjoy the little stories you have whenever your submit things; they seem to be pretty personal stories and i appreciate that you trust #me enough to tell me about them. #if you'd feel better not sharing any more that's fine! i'm never going to mention anything in them anywhere regardless #i'll just keep posting your colorings as usual for everyone to see and appreciate :) #hope you have a great day C! and thanks again for always coloring my stuff! #allyart

[von-karmas-a-bitch]

it will never stop being insane to me that possibly the most accurate adaptation of sherlock holmes (minus any explicit mention of drugs) is from Gay Lawyer Visual Novel Spinoff Series: Let's Go To Meiji Japan and bc it wasn't public domain yet, the localised versions decided to call him fucking HERLOCK SHOLMES

#screw your ''oh wow he's so hugebrained i want to be that guy'' wish fulfillment sherlock holmes #the real sherlock holmes was a cringefail loser who was prone to extreme fits of melancholy over trivial shit #i have not read the books but i just talked to someone who has both read the books and played tgaac and they confirmed #he is very very accurate to original holmes #and it makes me very happy to have that confirmed bc #i knew it i fucking knew it #that's why he's the only holmes adaptation i like #that's why he's so funny and well-written #the writers did their fucking homework and made a fairly faithful adaptation #that hit all the sweet spots that made holmes unique #rather than completely missing the point of what made him such a Character #and just writing him to be the cringeproof hugebrained genius they wish they were #he's not supposed to be your self insert gary stu he's SUPPOSED to be cringefail!!!!! let him be a loser #sophia's soliloquies #tgaac #herlock sholmes

btw artists you should maybe stop posting your art on pinterest if that's something you've been doing, i know a few ppl who have been sharing their art there

i'm not sure if this section has been updated at all or if it's always been this way but I was taking a read through their soon-to-be-implemented update to their TOS to see if they'll be adding anything with the increased usage of AI and this looks like perhaps this section exists (at least in part) for that reason 🤔 [thinking emoji]

unfortunately their report function for art theft/reposting has historically been less than stellar (an understatement) and I don't really see it improving any time soon but perhaps they will improve it with this update to their TOS and privacy policy! one can hope at least!

link to the preview of the new TOS: https://policy.pinterest.com/en/terms-of-service-preview

alt text for the screenshot below, as well as linked in the embedded image description feature:

A screenshot of a section of Pinterest's new Terms of Service. The subsection heading reads: "How we and other users can use your User Content". The highlighted text reads: "By providing any User Content on the Service, you grant us license to use, store, publicly perform or display, reproduce, save, modify, create derivative works, monetize, download, translate and distribute your User Content.

#pinterest #artists on tumblr #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #i'm not sure if anyone needs alt text anymore or if tumblr's image descriptions are finally playing nice with screenreaders #please let me know if I have made a mistake or anything with that! #also disclaimer idk how standard all this is for a platform's TOS but I figured i'd bring it to people's attention anyways ... #additional disclaimer: i am not very smart and i will not claim to be very smart lol so if i've said anything weird lmk! i'm happy to learn #i am just a little freak that likes to read through TOS and community guidelines on platforms occasionally bc i find it interesting lmao #and i figured a lot of artists esp those who are teens who use pinterest may not know this so ... 🧍‍♂️ here i am ! #but it is entirely possible that i am misunderstanding the wording in their TOS and this isn't actually a ''bad'' thing for artists 🤷‍♂️
