[introspectivememories]

mister lewis hamilton, sir, how are you gonna go on live television and talk about about how your karting days were the best times of your career and still never say nico's name? not once but multiple times??? oh you mean the karting your did with your childhood best friend nico rosberg? that karting? the karting where you met him? the karting where your families became friends? the karting where you spent months in italy together? the pizza eating contests and torn up hotel rooms? the frosties? the unicycling? that karting???? "i'm over the divorce," says man who is soo not over the divorce.

#he's sooo not over it #say what you want about him but at least nico can talk about it #the lengths lewis goes to avoid nico's name is genuinely sooo funny #babe who are you fooling? you can't even say his name #you ran away during that interview in spain #he was still speaking!!! and you heard one conversation ender and bounced #lewis hamilton sir you are soo funny #can the both of you go to couples counseling so the rest of us don't have to take psychic damage every time you two interact? #lewis hamilton #nico rosberg #brocedes #f1 #ok obligatory disclaimer for the anon: i do not think that lewis' fond memories of karting come solely from doing it with nico #i do think that he enjoyed it for reasons outside of being friends with nico (bonding with his dad/smth he enjoyed/etc) #but this is a brocedes post. i am going to make it about brocedes. hope this helps

I haven't seen the movie yet but I hope they include my favourite thing from the book, which is Coriolanus Snow doesn't take a single action the entire time that a woman doesn't explicitly tell him to take.

What were some of the wins in the Coriolanus Snow political playbook?

-He was the only mentor that met his tribute early and built an actual relationship with them, which gave him a huge advantage over the other mentors who couldn't even get a name or birthdate out of their tribute.

-He was able to get a reporter to interview his tribute multiple times, gaining screen time and notoriety.

-His stardom rose when he attempted to save the Crane girl and was seen on camera looking heroic, calling for a medic.

-He wrote the proposal on the sponsorship system and basically invented the idea of sponsors, ranking and gambling that sustained the games for 75 years.

And guess what? Not a SINGLE one of those was his idea😭

TIGRESS tells him to go down to the train station that day, says that Lucy Gray is probably scared and vulnerable, his grandmother gives him a rose from her garden to take, and Tigress explicitly tells him to get on Lucy's good side because her trust will be a valuable thing.

LUCY GRAY tells snow to stop freaking out and freezing at the zoo! Because he just stands there, camera shy, terrified about messing up his reputation and she tells him to 'Own it' and act like any mistake he ever makes is a chance for a Performance, it is a chance to gain more power. SHE drags him over to the reporter and banters with the people of the capital, teaching him a lesson about being in front of the press that he will use for his entire Presidency.

Snow prides himself on looking rich even though his family is in in ruin and it is TIGRESS who helps them achieve this. The careful image he maintains, is maintained by HER, working her hands to the bone to make his clothes look new, their reputation stay untarnished.

The sponsors? The idea to bring food to tributes so they don't starve before they can even compete?? It's LUCY GRAY'S idea!! She suggests it on screen, she invents the idea of a Victor as an Idol, she sings and does fan meet and greets and asks for people to bring her a sweet thing if they can. And then Snow goes and repeats that in class and it's credited as a profitable Academy idea and not hers.

There's a thousand moments like this! Of Snow letting all his smarts and tactics fail him, and Lucy Gray hissing the answer in his ear to get him to act. And he's praised as a hero after this, as the only person who did something in an emergency!

And after all this, our unreliable narrator heads home at the end of the day like, ah I really did that. Snow lands on top once again, that was for sure my idea.

Featured the girl? You featured the girl snow? In her own plan that she did while you stood there frozen and anxious😭So generous.

Truly he's an absolute doofus, he's a silly little boy with Light Yagami energy, any mettle he gains as a Political Mastermind later on is due to the strategy and empathy of the women he's surrounded himself with

#it is so interesting though to read about manipulation from a narrator who's Unaware he's being manipulated #his professors- the game maker - Lucy #all influencing him to do things and he's just there like I am in total control for sure #oh coryo #you fool #hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #coriolanus snow #president snow #lucy gray #lucy gray baird #tigress #books #movies

happy three years to @chrysanthemumgames !!!! as always i'm a little biased towards drawing hermes, but i love the entire cast and at least wanted to draw all of them :') and ofc, thank you jess for a game i always love and keep coming back to!!!

#do not be fooled with no speechbubbles in reply to the cast #hermes is yelling hello's and sorry's as he speeds away i promise #asphodelgame #fields of asphodel #foa #my art #hermes #persephone #pyri #alekto #charon #hekate #hades #makaria #have a bunch of doodles and thoughts for foa that i never got around to properly drawing so . perhaps soon!!!!! #also re the new hozier album. first time-hades (i shouldnt have to explain myself it was like it was written FOR him) #who we are- charon and esp with his backstory my knuckles go white with how desperate i am to know more about them #de selby pt1 and 2 for hermes just cause i like the imagery of the songs about descent for the deity that splits his time #unknown is for alekto . lord i love her and again i would like sweet sweet backstory #first light pyri . i enjoy the light-river of fire idea and also its one of the more hopeful songs off the album #and i am struggling with hekate but i do enjoy all things end :) #but particularly 'if there way anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact they didn't do it right' #and ofc 'we didn't it right but love we did our best' and that constant forward motion for a deity that has lived so long #seph/pc gets to someone from a warm climate. the adjustment of being in a new place and the love that can come from that new place #and in the end its as easy . natural as another leg around you in the bed frame. ANYONE ELSE A BIT SICK RN? #other songs on the album (FRANCESCA. ICARIAN. DAMAGE GETSDONE!!!!) can be applied to the entire cast #damage gets done has such SUCH a fun beat that makes me think of hermes but that is like. 90% bias #anyways sorry for the hozier-foa tedtalk in the notes. quite deranged about both lately #and as always sorry to the pagans on this site. best wishes <3

The sheer pity party some alloromantics expect of aromantics is really funny to me. The expectation is that we ought to feel broken or afraid that we will never be worthy of anything if not for a romantic relationship, but as the years go on, I've been so much less inclined to feel those ways.

People expect aromanticism to feel like a prison, and I think that's looking at it wrong. My aromanticism never imprisoned me - amatonormativity did. Being aromantic taught me that I can never and will never be "made whole" through romantic attraction. Amatonormativity teaches that to be whole is to be pursued, to be in love, to be possessed, essentially. Being aromantic has freed me of those expectations because I had to break those chains in order to truly understand what will make my life worth living.

I've been finding more and more that being allo will never appeal to me - I don't give a flying fuck about allo being "normal," and frankly if being normal means being allo, I simply just won't be normal.

#aro #aromantic #lgbt #lgbtq #throw a pity party for me because i died in this video game i'm playing (i am booboo the fool who refuses to eat health items) #bro why must i be so fucking stubborn like. 'ooh look at me i'm at three hearts but i won't eat the hoards of health items i have.' #like. come ON. #but yeah. if somebody expects me to be groveling about how i'm not alloromantic and allosexual i will chase them and bite them #i will make sure they have to get a rabies shot (hyperbole but you get the spirit of how strongly i feel about this) #like i'm not even *that* aro but i still hate the idea that i need to be mournful about it. i'm celebrating this actually #it's one less thing for me to stress about yo

[bonefall]

Maybe I'll make a post on this at some point but like, something deeply fucked up about TNP and Po3 that people have totally forgotten about is how badly they try to whine that "Tigerstar Had Good Traits :("

Firestar does it, Brambleclaw does it, and they keep doing this after it becomes this GRAND irony that Firestar almost gets Tiger'd to death in a fox trap because he was too trusting. Bramble gets his pity award of keeping deputyship and then cries to his son about how No One Saw The Good In Tigerstar :(

And it's wiiiiild that no one else in this fandom has done anything with the fact that Leopardstar broke the Warrior Code to appoint Hawkfrost, who had no apprentice, an extremely aggressive and warmongering Tigerclone who says things like "Tigerstar wasn't the worst cat to look up to." ONLY qualifying trait was being kinda like Tigerstar.

And she practically did that the SECOND Mistyfoot went missing. And then Leopardstar continued to be one of the most violent and xenophobic leaders through Po3, joining with WindClan to attack ThunderClan.

What I'm getting at is that like, a few years ago, with books like "Blackfoot's Reckoning" and "Shadow in RiverClan" it's like they suddenly decided to retcon in a bunch of "redemption arcs" in hindsight. They just pretended like there was this grand high reckoning with TigerClan, when there literally wasn't, and if anything that caused SERIOUS problems for the cast that the authors didn't fully acknowledge as such.

And now ppl haven't actually read the main series and are just working with their recent memory of all these retcon books.

But TNP and PO3 are still there, and you can go and see the ACTUAL timeline where Leopardstar is really not apologetic at all, and Blackstar is a useful stooge for the very next wannabe dictator that strolls in, in spite of the new side content that COMPLETELY mischaracterized them for their plots to work.

#I just wish people could be more critical of this #And im not entirely anti-retcon. Mind you #But I am here because i think these retcons make them WORSE characters. It's BAD for a character to GET a book with a redemption arc and-- #Then they don't change at all and act like totally different people later in the timeline #And Leopardstar is the worse one between her and Blackstar BECAUSE she has sooo many active choices here #Im confident in my choice for BB the more I think about it. Leopardstar's dismantling of the bonehill was good #But it works better as a tragedy imo with the rest of the series in mind #That for a brief moment. A fleeting whim. She could have changed. #But she never did. #And Blackstar who was FAR less repentant at the time DID eventually turn around. #At the end of the day one of them appointed Hawkfrost as codebreaking deputy. #And the other did not. #And I think it's fucking bullshit the way that Leopardstar's retcondemption implies that Hawkfrost was just so tricky he mislead her #The old and experienced leader who had been fooled by a tiger before and was soso sorry for it. Just got tricked. #Like fuck off. She never had a redemption. Stop trying to tell me she did 15 years later #She's a girlboss who empires too close to the sun in pursuit of power and drags everyone down with her #Not a sad weepy smolbean #Bone babble #Warrior cats analysis

Quackity, laughing and walking away: Tilin, don't trust him, don't trust him, you don't look like a testicle. Charlie: Frontflipo, kill him! Frontflipo, kill!

the thing is. once bella goes to volterra it’s over. she will always become a vampire. she doesn’t have a choice--she has a choice about how, maybe, and when, but only within bounds, (and only if she’s willing to give up a normal life and go on the run anyways), and her story will always end the same way. of course she’s going to pick edward, she might as well have an illusion that she’s doing it out of love!!!

twilight is a horror story

#i am a fool and a buffoon who tried to write a 'bella runs away at the wedding' fic #and i have been slamming my head against the impenetrable wall that is the volturi deal for months #so i'm thinking a lot abt this #hmm. #also it doesn't fucking help that edward keeps trying to convince her she DOES have a choice #like. eclipse is (allegedly. loosely. in a very poorly executed way.) abt bella making the choice #& dealing with its consequences #but she doesn't have a choice!!!!!!! #she can't live a human life!!!!!!!!!!!!! #that's how new moon ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #and everyone in eclipse just ignores that?!

I've given myself heat exhaustion AGAIN (heck, I hope it's only heat exhaustion, rip) and I am not here for it ffs so to make sure y'all know about it, imma share the signs of heat exhaustion!

Heat exhaustion is quite literally your body getting too hot and Exhausting itself to cope. Heatstroke is your body Failing To Cope.

Heat Exhaustion signs include:

You get a headache that Will Not Go Away

You feel confused and dizzy (balance who? Idk her)

You don't feel hungry but you feel sick as well (this sucks and happens a lot in high heat so try and snack regularly)

Sweating and clammy skin like the kind that has people go "you're freezing!" because you've sweated so much you literally end up with a chill on your skin

Cramps. Feckin cramps. Arms. Legs. Stomach. They suck ass.

You have a heckin fast pulse or you're hyperventilating like you've just had a Scare

Your body temp is over 38°c (because you're literally boiling like a lobster in a pot)

You are Beyond Thirsty and no matter what you drink it Does Not Abate

If you end up experiencing any of these symptoms, or multiple, and you're in a hot/warm environment, then sit your ass down in the shade, get something to drink, and get a damp cloth on your head or a change of clothes that are cool.

Basically, stop what you're doing and give your body a chance to Not Keep Boiling

Heat exhaustion is NOT THE SAME as a heatstroke.

Heatstroke is So Much Worse™.

Heatstroke signs include:

Still feeling like utter shite 30 minutes after you sat your ass down, rested in a cool place, and rehydrated

Not actually sweating even though you really do feel like a lobster in a pot that has the heat up High

Your body temp is 40°c+ (which is bad btw, that's temp for causing your to pass out etc)

Hyperventilating/fast breathing or actual shortness of breath (I struggle with this because asthma so I'm always like "idk if I got this oops)

Feeling confused but in a like "I don't know what's going on, I can't think, I have no idea about anything, someone help me please I'm crossing into traffic and don't even realise" way

Having a fit/seizure because your body temp is so high your brain is Actually Getting Boiled In Your Skull 🙃 [upside down smiley emoji]

Passing out and not actually responding or waking up from a brief fainting spell (this is the Serious™ kind of passing out that has doctors going "oh shit, we need an IV STAT!" or whatever it is they say when Shit Is Going Down)

Heatstroke can be really dangerous if it isn't treated quickly so please don't ignore these signs. Right now, I'm in a cool environs, with hydration, and am avoiding moving and am gonna have a nap because I'm going very dizzy, can't focus properly, have a headache, and am only coherent here because I'm HyperFocusing on this post. I can't even understand words being said to me right now hence nap, hydration, and cool environs.

So please, y'all, take care of yourselves. Seriously.

#Health #Heatstroke #Heat exhaustion #Advice #Tips and tricks #Life hacks #Help #Kat talks #I literally am a fool #A fool who genuinely didn't understand anything my mother said to me #Except 'dog has been fed' #That's it. That's all I understood of the words she said. #I was so dizzy and my legs were literally shaking I had to stumble to sit down #I've eaten and that's helping but I feel sick for having eaten #I'm still woozy af #My head feels like it's wobbling on my neck even tho it isn't #I'm in the house tho now and it's cool inside #I have water and tea so I'm good asbweol #It's just gonna be a case of resting and hoping it's just exhaustion and not a heatstroke #Bc I don't wanna be in A&E for 8+ hours with heatstroke when it's boiling in there #Anyway #I need to stop talking

Is there a digital version of that Majikiryu patch? I would love to use that as a back piece for my D&D samurai, if that's okay

Au in which the elves, or at least legolas and thranduil and such, don’t treat Gandalf like an old man, and more like an age mate(?).

Listen, we all know that gandalf isn’t actually an old man, that he’s a maia in disguise, but bc he take the form of an old man, people treat him in such a way you would treat an old man.

It really fucks with people’s perception, even the ones who know he’s not an old man in the traditional sense can’t help but treat him like an elderly person.

Except the elves, well, some of them.

Imagine legolas just mindlessly throwing supplies at gandalf during the quest the way he would at a fellow soldier and the rest of the questers feeling like there’s something distinctly not right about treating gandalf in a manner similar to a middle aged adult, but also knowing that gandalf is not actually an old man.

Legolas teasing and ribbing gandalf in such a way that’s not like mentor/mentee / adult/child, etc. But more like a pair of warriors on a scouting mission and it fucks with everyone else’s perception of reality so much because yes, but also no?!??

Just legolas treating gandalf less like the old man he pretends to be (and the minor god he is) and more like a same aged fellow warrior and it’s messing with everyone who has to witness it.

#would this ever happen in canon? probably not #do i still laugh myself sick at the possibility?yes #gandalf looking like an old man has such an affect on how people treat him #A+ deception #and then you have the elves who aren’t fooled in the slightest #do you know how many old men theykve had to interact with that were still fetuses compared to them? #so many. #gandalf’s old man act has no affect on them #legolas just gen doesn’t give a shit #and finds the way it fucks with the questers lowkey amusing #i am also once again getting gandalf x legolas vibes from this post. oh well #lord of the rings #lotr #silmarillion #lotr elves #the hobbit #legolas #gandalf #legolas x gandalf #the 9 walkers #fellowship of the ring
