The hate Carlos gets just because he got one better weekend… I swear.

I don’t like to hate on either side of the garage, Carlos and Charles are both great drivers and they each have the grandprix/moments where they excel. They can drive on par, they can have moments they do better, but it costs a lot to admit apparently.

This time, Carlos had a good weekend, good pace in free practice, good quali, good race strategy. Do you think even without the radio, Carlos wouldn’t have passed Charles? I personally think he would have gone anyway.

This week was Carlos’, maybe next one will be Charles’, but you don’t have to hate on one driver to make your driver look superior. It just reflects on you and how you are.

You should be better than that, I’m not sure your favorite driver would be proud of you

#f1 #ferrari #carlos sainz jr #charles leclerc #some people really just want blood #I don’t get it #why do you have to be irrespectful #why do you have to be full of hate #liking someone should be equal to hating others #why can’t it be the normal way to see things

sometimes i ship characters cuz i think they’d be cute/funny/interesting/dramatic together. sometimes it’s because i want to see myself and the kinds of relationships that i have represented onscreen, especially as a queer person who grew up without that opportunity.

but with laudna and imogen from the start i shipped them because i *already saw* myself onscreen. the intense closeness. the platonic relationship with this unspoken added depth. the feeling of “yes we’re friends but that word somehow falls short.” this added dimension that everyone else could see. the clutching each other in a world that’s against you both, that seems to not want you. regardless of where it came from or how it played out it was, as a queer person, all wildly familiar.

it’s been a joy seeing that turn into “oh god do i have feelings for her? is it okay for me to have feelings for her, especially right now? i shouldn’t say anything because she’s already dealing with so much. she probably doesn’t see me that way anyway. but god i want to tell her.” and many other feelings and sentiments i’ve experienced many times in my life. but even if it hadn’t, if it had stayed a very deep and intense platonic love, i still would’ve seen myself in them in a way i too rarely do in art/media and i think that’s a big part of why they’ve always stood out to me

#just little thoughts #the “can't women be friends” thing has always amused me with them cuz it's like yes. but they are undoubtedly deeply intertwined #in a way we don't see that often in stories. especially outside of a “two men bound by blood from experiences on the battlefield” scenario #so some people who have been in a “wait is this a thing or is it all in my head” situation are naturally gonna go “hmmmmm”#this is also why the idea that it was rushed is very silly to me like. were you watching? really Watching?#anyhoo #don't want to do discourse this is just my experience watching them #imodna #laudna #imogen temult

lyney's character story about his vision revealing arlecchino didn't allow him to use a delusion and was genuinely angry that he would do something lynette wouldn't want for him, encouraging him to find other solutions... the way she was also sad lyney didn't feel comfortable relying on her during the quest... she really cares about the kids. her smile while speaking to furina also looked sincere. even though one can debate if this is all an act to make them trust and be loyal to her (as said by her, "good actors hone their craft to mesmerise the whole crowd") or acknowledge the fact she's using the kids by making them part of the fatui, she genuinely seems to cherish them. at least she goes through lengths that aren't really necessary for her not to care. the way she reformed the orphanage, the way she helped freminet get closure on his mother's fate... i just think it goes to show and confirm once more how biased everything/everyone in the game is. sometimes bordering unreliable, really. scara and childe's lines about her paint her in a certain light, which i'm not saying isn't true quite the opposite, but that persona seems to coexists with the version the kids from the house of the hearth know.

#her friendly proposal to the traveler also seemed genuine even if she has other interests in mind #maybe we will be surprised in the future i don't know but her vibe is really different from someone like dottore #she is cordial and diplomatic which automatically means she's cunning and probably good at manipulating people but she also seems genuine #and empathetic and her debate with furina only comes to show how smart she is... she seemed righteous?!#i'm really curious to find out more about her motivations why she became an harbinger and so on #she seems extremely loyal to the tsaritsa #the tsaritsa also seems so cool i loved that she was described in such a regal way for some reason #shnezenaya is gonna be such a cool area #anyways daily arlecchino rant because obsessed with her #on another note lyney's story was very emotional him and lynette really went through a lot #knowing they probably wouldn't be 'here' if only the gods hadn't blessed lyney is so :')#they really would go to the end of the world for each other #also for freminet despite not being blood related they really are each others family #sobbing i love them #lyneys voice lines always make me sad he just wants to be seen and accepted #i want to hug him 😭

I've been seeing lots of takes lately with people feeling hatred towards part 2 Speedwagon for being a greedy capitalist who probably exploited people and done some shady stuff to become wealthy because there was '''no way he could have become rich just from oil money'''... thoughts?

it's so disappointing to see some bad takes about the Speedwagon Foundation being some "acshually nasty organization" and about Speedwagon supposedly becoming some heartless rich man popping up again. And like, I shouldn't even be surprised at this point considering how the average "Jojo fan" mistreats Part 1 and 2 and alllll the misinformation they love to spread about them and about some characters in particular, often bastardizing them into wildly out of character versions and pretending those fanons are canon for whatever reason (being Speedwagon one of the characters that gets bastardized like that the most), sometimes just to make Blorbo Of Their Choice look better by throwing every other character under the bus, sometimes just because people can't be bothered to pay attention to the og if there are no punching ghosts on sight (and even then, Jojo parts featuring stands get misinterpreted a lot too).

This is gonna be long, so let me start by saying that if y'all really believe that Speedwagon somehow became some nasty ass rich man, then you're completely misinformed and you (and I say "you" in general and not specifically you anon) might benefit from rereading/rewatching the source material and actually paying attention to the plot and details this time.

Like, I've seen people assuming that the Foundation only researched the stone mask and eventually stand stuff, and completely forgetting that one of the literal main goals and also one of the biggest things the Foundation does is seeking for the betterment of the planet as a whole (preserving nature, wildlife, etc) as well as for the betterment of medicine and health care, actually seeking for the best for all humankind, this in addition to all the secret branches it has for the research of supernatural phenomena like stands, stone masks, pillar men, and so on in order to prevent as many incidents with them as possible and prevent the loss of as innocent lives as possible.

Sure, the people working for those latter branches might get into deep trouble sometimes whenever some jerk with a stone mask or a stand starts some shit, but, another thing jojo fans tend to conveniently forget is that those employees are working for the secret/non-public branches of the Foundation. We as audience know about them because we are let into seeing them working as part of the narrative, however, the public in general within the story DO NOT KNOW about the existence of those branches or what they do. Pillar men, stone masks, stands and the research around them are kept in secret in order to prevent any sorts of chaos and ensuing panic, among other safety reasons.

The people working for those branches are specialized or at least have some prior knowledge on those fields they work in (you'd think it is a MUST considering they are being let in on sensitive information that could be super detrimental for the planet and for humankind if it fell in the wrong hands), meaning that those employees already know and are fully aware of the kind of stuff they're going to deal with there from the start. They weren't deceived into it, and the fact that the employees remain loyal to Speedwagon from start to end and respect and follow his will, even long after his death, denotes that there was some deep and mutual respect and appreciation there, something you can't earn through exploitation, and definitely something these people wouldn't have done had Speedwagon been the heartless tyrant rich old man some people with a lack of media literacy want to believe and make others believe he was.

If people paid just a wee bit more attention to earlier Jojo parts, they would have realized it was all spelled out from the beginning too! Speedwagon expressly states from the very start his disgust and hatred towards the rich, being the Joestars the only exception to that due to them being genuinely kind persons, unlike most other wealthy people out there. He was also implied to have been dirt poor for most of his life and was also stated to have lived in the slums at least up to PB's main timeline. There were never any indications or signs that showed that he ever betrayed those roots of his by siding with the rich against the poor over the years. Instead, he's been using his funds to make the whole world a better place for everyone, not only by improving health care and access for all people as well as the environment (which would actually show a sense of duty from him as he is counteracting whatever negative impact his oil company may have had on the planet), but also providing all the aid he can against supernatural threats.

And not just that, but he's also kept some of his connections with the crime world over the years. However, rather than using those connections for selfish goals, he makes use of them to workaround the system in cases like Lisa Lisa's, where he used all those influences he had to help her go successfully into hiding after killing the zombie that murdered George (an undercover zombie that was actually a higher up within the army and who everyone believed to be a regular human, hence their chasing after her to make her pay for that "crime" she had supposedly committed). Additionally, if you know anything about big companies and organizations, you'll know that the law is also not always there to protect regular people, and sometimes, it will cater to the more profitable goals, as well as some businessmen actively being shady af and "hindering" their rivals for their own benefit. The Speedwagon Foundation being an organization that vouches and actively works for the wellbeing of people would have probably ruffled countless feathers among those who seek for a personal gain, to say the least (think of the hijackers that tried to kidnap him, as shown in the flashback in BT, i.e). This is also where those connections he keeps with criminals come into play, as there are never any mentions about Speedwagon doing shady stuff through them nor using them to pursue some personal goal, which hints at the fact that he keeps and uses those nexus as means of protection against actual enemies. Defense rather than offense, if you will.

Also, lets not forget that Speedwagon found his reason to change his ways when he met Jonathan, and that a lot of the things the Foundation does are things Jonathan himself would have gone into had he not passed away (the archaeological research, the deep studying of the stone mask -which eventually led to the discovery of the pillar men just in time before their awakening-, all in order to prevent more incidents like the whole thing with Dio from happening, and so on). It's downright silly to think Speedwagon would even think of betraying Jonathan and his memory by using not only the second chance he received from Jojo himself, but also using the literal monument Speedwagon built to honor the deep bond and mutual affection the two had back when Jonathan was alive for some selfish goal.

And also, lets not forget how disgusted he was with Dio and every single vile thing he did to everyone. Do you really think he would want to follow a path similar to his, in which people are just another step for him to walk all over?? If so, then you sure are completely wrong about who Speedwagon really is like.

Those "he became some nasty capitalist lol", pretending that Spw became some heartless and selfish wealthy man along the way for no reason, all despite the heaps of constant evidence the canon has presented, even long after Speedwagon's passing away in the story, that shows that that was never the case only go to show that people are lazy and that paying attention to the story and the details in it is just something some Jojo fans will actively refuse to do and then will make the worst bullshit takes up about it.

Also?? People do realize that it's possible to become rich and not be some piece of shit?? Like, sure, I do agree that most wealthy people irl ARE shit and scummy af, but there will always be a few exceptions, you just don't always see them because the real kind ones don't go around telling everyone about every single kind act they do, they just put their money to good use to make their own employees lives better, or invest/donate money every chance they get to some organization of their trust and so on. Adding to this, do you all even realize people can't just throw money out of the window and that as a business person you always need to keep some capital to actually make your business thrive and so you can continue helping other people out in this case where BIG SUMS of money are being put to use in favor of actual civilians and people from all walks of life??

((Edit to add yet another Very Obvious display that Speedwagon never sided with the rich, not even in his older years: Smokey Brown! The kid is literally a mirror of Speedwagon’s own younger self in that both were criminals from the streets in a large city (London in Spw’s case, NY in Smokey’s), immersed in crime and poverty and most likely having to resort to crime as a mean to survive in a society that was even more classist (and also racist, and this can actually be seen in BT when one of the mafiosos starts spewing shit towards Smokey due to his skin color) than it is nowadays, both having no known parents or family either and having been most likely orphaned/abandoned. Had Speedwagon been this nasty ass rich man, he could have simply ignored Smokey or treated him poorly, or could have even turned him to authorities, considering Smokey’s criminal record just for the sake of “preventing him from stealing from him” or whatever. There was literally nothing Spw could benefit himself from by keeping Smokey around like he did, which is a core trait in abusive/exploitative people. However, he never did any of that. Instead, and despite the reigning classism and racism at the time, Speedwagon along with Erina always embraced Smokey from the start and basically became his godparents, never letting the kid go back to his life in the streets, providing him with everything he needed and making sure he received a proper education, which was something very few people of color (black people, specially) could receive. And yet, Speedwagon and Erina made it happen, very likely using some of Spw’s influences to allow Smokey go to the school (and eventually college too) of his choice without any stigma or trouble at all and covering all expenses for him. -end of edit-))

If this was, idk, the Metal Gear series or some other media that revolves around the topic of politics, then the whole "cRaPiTaLisM!!! >:O" thing would have some weight and be plausible as it directly impacts the main plot of the story. But here?? In Jojo's?? Where the main focus as stated by it's author himself is the strength of the human spirit overcoming obstacles in the face of actual evil??? Try harder.

And, before I get That One Type of fans yelling at me that "people don't just get rich without exploiting people in real life!!"… do you guys realize we're talking about animanga series where vampires, funky stone masks with spooky powers, pillar men, stands, people who can use some ancient sunpowered martial art, plankton that can turn into a sentient person, and so on can happen, right? And yet I don't see anyone whining that "tHaT DoEsN'T hApPeN iRl!!".

And like, if this whole claim stems from disliking Speedwagon, just say you don't like him and move the fuck on. You don't need to try to justify your disliking for him or for ANY other characters, let alone making up wildly out of character bullshit about them to try to prove to yourself and to everyone else why according to you the character is "bad". I promise you it is not a big deal to simply not vibe with a character.

#the lack of media literacy among some jojo fans is overwhelming i swear #its sad to see people constantly and completely misreading and bastardizing speedwagon into something he's not #like all those LAME takes about him being some soft pure uwu innocent scaredy bby #or the 'topkek reddit funni meemz XD!' abt him that some ppl lazily/unironically take as canon #or these silly and also wildly ooc takes on the foundation and him in part 2 #really wish more people took the time to actually see and appreciate his character for what he actually is #sorry this got so long but i wanted to get this out of my chest bc i too saw one of those posts again and was like #BRU not this shit AGAIN #also.if i sound bitter its because i am genuinely sick and tired of the speedwagon slander and people completely misreading him #and turning him into something he is not and often completely ignoring him bc of that fanon image ppl have made of him #along with completely disregarding the fact that he's actually one of the most important characters in all jjba #and instead pretending or wrongly assuming that he was just some 'hehe funni meme uwu guy'#jjba #long post #bit of a vent / rant too #robert e o speedwagon #speedwagon #jojo #character analysis: speedwagon #phantom blood #battle tendency #speedwagon foundation #jojo's bizarre adventure #analysis: speedwagon foundation #character analysis #meta #ok to rb

So since we've finally established Bill isn't actually human...

Consider this a teaser for next chapter.

(Transcript below)

Do you know what it's like to not exist?

I have the power to do everything but never get anything out of it. No smell. No taste. No touch. No sensation at all. Just... Nothing. A vast nothingness stretching on and on forever like the uncomfortable silence after a bad joke. I could watch. Nothing more. Infinite power but no meaningful way to use it.

It's self preservation, really. Stealing bodies. I never wanted to be human. I didn't. It's all that damn shaman's fault. He was supposed to help me. Save me. But he betrayed me. He cut the lifeline and tried to kill me with an ancient ritual. A human energy circle.

But they didn't have the right humans.

Lacking quality, they made up for it with quantity. The entire island. All those tiny little candlelights throwing themselves together into one flash of an inferno before burning out. The energy was immense.

But not enough.

They couldn't destroy me. But he could stall me. He went into my mind. He removed all knowledge of where the island was, where the gateway had been built, how it looked, and how to find it. With his last breath he cursed the land itself. That no-one would ever be able to find it without being led there. That it would never be added to a map.

All so that I wouldn't find it.

He couldn’t blind my all-seeing eye. But he did mar it.

So, I did the next best thing. I settled for experiencing the world through human eyes. Kings, queens, beggars and priests… I was everything. It was intense. It was vibrant. I was alive.

A human body is a prison, but a prison is better than a nothing.

But eventually, it wasn't enough.

I'm a being of unlimited power. Do you have any idea how constricting it is needing to waste a quarter of my life asleep? Do you have any idea how bad food tastes after centuries of eating it? I have been like this for ages. Everything is the same flavour of bland. The pleasure. The pain...

None of it is fun anymore.

Without chasing the next high, I feel nothing. And every time I need to reach higher and higher to get anything out of it at all.

I need to exist as me. No matter who has to die.

So, I made a new goal for myself: Find my old gateway. Find a body. Find a crew. Don't stop sailing until I track it down.

I couldn't remember the location. I couldn’t remember the name. All I could remember was the smell of salt and the sound of churning waterfalls. So, when my first crew asked, I simply called it ‘the waterfall port’. ‘El puerto de la cascada’.

I moved from crew to crew, century to century, body to body.

It didn't matter that my eyes went from blue to brown to grey.

It didn't matter if the shade of my hair changed.

It didn't matter if scars under my clothes came and went.

Very few who came close enough to notice ever lived to talk about it.

With a changing world came changing languages. And eventually, my island's title was shortened and corrupted until it was just simply…

"Port Cascada".

That name found you. And you found me. How?

... You're not even listening. Are you?

#gravity falls #pirate au #bill cipher #human bill cipher #stanford pines #my art #tw blood #tw self harm #bill induced and very briefly but just to be safe #let me know if you need warnings tagged!#while he isn't actually human i'll still keep tagging this as such #cause i know some people really dislike humanoid bill designs and i want them to still be able to blacklist it #long post

I don't mean this in a "oh I'm so oppressed for being hashtag not like other girls (even tho I am in the majority)" kind of way but like. Gd I wish it were easier to find social media accounts that talk about the kind of books I like. I simply do not enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, or romance anymore and I am sick to the teeth of hearing about them, which sucks bc those are the genres that dominate booktok and booktube. It's easy to find horror recs etc but I am also getting sick of hearing abt them bc so many people talk abt the same books over and over and also I have no problems finding horror to read. It's not that I don't think there are people out there who read lit fic and nonfiction but like. It's just more difficult to find people I vibe with than it used to be when I was into fantasy, ya kno?

#i have a few beloved accounts i follow that i swear by but like. some new blood would not go awry #also doesnt help that i read science/nature/history nonfic and its a broad truth that most nonfic people online read bios/political nonfic #which i dont hate obv but its not really what im looking for when i want someone new to watch #'passive consumption is bad put some effort into it' yeah yeah but have you considered that i like complaining?#and also like. it just kind of is a fact that fantasy and romance dominate book spaces online these days #its not the end all be all obviously but its a huge factor to be worked around if you dont like those genres #it just is what it is #disgruntled octopus
