how does gabriel know pulverizing the miraculouses won't backfire on him? how does gabriel know he can link powers to objects? how does gabriel even learn about any of this?

Bradley Scanes, Max's trainer during 2020-2023 seasons, did an interview with The Red Flags Podcast (22 Jan 2024)

I took one for the team and transcribed the bits I found interesting enough to share:

[12:40] Talking about the first times Brad met Max and how important it is that you click together well:

I think it's the most important. We had a good conversation in that time, I think the decision probably set on the fact that, for half of the time I was there, he was out driving the car. But I was there, talking to his dad, talking to his family. And really got on with Red Bull and really kinda fit into that mold and did for my whole 4 years with him and it was so nice. And I appreciate Max for this, his dad for this and the rest of the family because I felt part of the family the entire time which was really really nice and you know, we'll stay friends.

[24:00] From what I saw, I saw a guy that was elite. He knew where he wanted to go. You could see the drive, you could see the work ethic. The work ethic was tremendous. And for me it was just, I've gotta create the optimal space for him to be him and him to do him.

[27:30] Talking about flexibility and adaptability being the traits that separates greats from the rest:

He's on the grid being interviewed by two or three different tv stations, or something's happening with the car, he gets in the car and drives exactly the same no matter what's going on. And that's for me what I've seen from the kinda good to great.

[28:25] Was it hard to train him this year when he was so far ahead?

No, no. If anything he was more motivated this year than any year before.

[34:55] I feel like you have to be elite at falling asleep. Is Max like "allright time to go to bed" and he's like "okay [snores]"? Can kinda turn on turn off?

Yeah, he's really good at that.

[48:50] On staying motivated to win:

The mindset to keep winning is there. We love winning and it's what we get out of bed for, it's what we do our work for. We want to win no matter what it is. We going to Monza, going to Belgium, we wanna win that race. We want to win every single race and if the championship comes in the end the championship comes in the end. That's the mentality he has. […] The first one was motivated by winning the first championship, the second one was motivated by seeing off Ferrari and making sure we got the second (wdc) and that we're here to stay. And then the third one we were motivated by winning every single race and setting every single record that we could.

[1:14:55] Talking about other drivers posting tough work out videos while Max posted a lighter work out:

That's the thing actually, it's a conversation we've had before because we have the markers where we need to get to. How you get there doesn't really matter. We managed to do it in the most time efficient way, in the most enjoyable way for Max and how it doesn't impact on the other stuff as much. […] He doesn't like working out, everybody knows that. But when he's in the session he gets after it. It's just shifting that mindset, he might not want to do it ever again but there's not too much encouragement needed actually in session which is always nice. It's nice to work that way.

[1:16:10] If Max pisses you off what exercise are you doing to punish him? What's his least favorite?

Single-leg squats or planks.

[1:17:35] How long can Max plank for?

Decent amount of time. I don't actually remember but we must have hit like 4-5 minutes in pre-season test and a bit longer come summer break.

Spoilers for the NatM 'A Capital Adventure' book ig

Why is Octavius not apart of the Museum of Natural History exhibits??? He's not in the first scene with everyone being shipped out, he's not with the others when Larry sees the exhibits in the cargo crate (though I'm surprised as to how he even saw Octavius then), and then he just climbs into the crate to talk to Custer about getting elephants??? What is the canon for this book then?? Do the cowboys just have a bigger Diorama? Is there still a Rome Diorama? There has to be seeing as they just take him home but what??? Is this why Jed emphasizes on calling him a friend after Oct saved his life???

Oct also never mentions that he's small, like?? I'd feel like if you were a, over 5ft person, and you randomly became like 4 inches tall you'd have questions?? It's clear he n Jed haven't met before since Jed calls him feather hat and doesn't act the same towards him as he did the first movie.. Also, how does Octavius know Jed's name?? I don't think he's ever told it with what we see in text so he probably asked someone about it.. but Oct also never left the crate after Jed did?? But he at some point goes out and saves him then admits to not wanting to come back and fail Jed??? LIke... in this content, Octavius doesn't want to fail this other miniature that he met like less than an hour ago, in which he was called a name and basically brushed off??? He also says he'd swore to help but he didn't?? he only said that he was happy to help, not swearing he would.

So he basically just brought help from Abe Lincoln with no actual reason other than to save this random miniature cowboy that he technically didn't know was in danger and technically didn't know the name of. He also battled and tamed a squirrel for this guy..

Also.. the hourglass scene.

Octavius is panicked over Jed being buried in sand (which is honestly fair, whether you do know the person or not) and the scene is just shorter?? After Jed says he's basically done for, Octavius says- "no need for final words" and breaks him out.. Jed didn't interrupt him and say anything.. Then, Jed says- "Thank you, friend" after Oct helps him.. like.. where did that 50 years of fighting go here??

But then they just take him home?? does Octavius have his own Rome Diorama at the Smithsonian institution?? does he just not remember since he woke up in a archives?? where even was he if he was seen next to Amelia and Custer's horse?? how did they manage to leave a miniature out and away from his other miniature stuff? if that's not the cause, why would they just have a single Roman miniature??

Still, once they're back at the Museum of Natural History, Oct is in Larry's pocket and 'goes back to his place' not too long after.. I'm assuming he joins the other Roman miniatures in the Rome diorama but, how would they respond to gaining a random ass general?? did the Romans fight the westerns and how they have a General?? do they accept him, throw him out? like what.. I need answers.

#natm #night at the museum #jedtavius #octavius #natm jedediah #natm octavius #jedediah and octavius #jedediah natm #wtf is going on #I'm overthinking this #think I'll still put it into my silly slides #rant #questions #this is very important #how is this the most 'inaccurate' book based off the second movie lmfao #that last tag is a joke.. sorta

HEY YOU!!!! 🫵

Are you a Christian?✝️

Is your faith wavering, but you’re still latched onto your beliefs because if you don’t, you worry about the possibility of going to 🔥HELL🔥????

Do you worry obsessively about the end times and the pain dynamics of burning in a lake of fire for all eternity and how that would all work out, like if your soul would get used to it or if the fire would find a way to hurt more over time, like what is eternal torture even??? 🔥🐥🔥🍗🔥🪨🔥

Do you worry about questioning your faith for even a second, because you’re certain that the moment you did, the antichrist would reveal himself and everyone but you would be raptured????? 🙂😈

Do I have the book for you:

#Christianity #book recommendations #Elaine pagel #religon #visions prophecy and politics in the book of revelations #I grew up very brainwashed so these fears were always on my mind as a kid #I broke out of most of the bullshit by the time i graduated high school but the fear still lingered #but several years ago I read this book and it was like a weight had lifted from my shoulders #everything makes sense #but right now it’s more important than ever to question the Christian faith #america is supposed to have a separation of church and state and you wouldn’t THINK THAT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS #Biden’s a democrat but he’s still VERY!!!! CATHOLIC!!!! #so please read this and understand what the church is actually based on #I’m out of my phase where I think Christianity can help certain people with trauma #now I’m in my phase where I know Christianity does more harm than good #religious trauma mention

thought again how overwhelmingly lonely akira would become after everything while time does its healing. u go from having a twenty-something ppl around u at all times to being alone. no one to knock on ur door in the morning, no ppl going in & out, no chaos of sudden fights. even in the (more likely) case where akira forgets its like. this haunting feeling of having forgotten something u shouldnt have. guy who goes to every social gathering ever to have that chaotic energetic experience of having so many ppl around again

#stardust speaking ! #meeting some of the most important ppl to u and losing them in a yr is uhhh a lot #akiras had a lot of themes of not wanting to leave their world just yet/see through what theyre there for #as well as questions like 'what will /i/ be doing next time x happens?' in a very...hm. accepting way? casual? #actually idk if theres ever been any point where its been 'yeah probably a year and then we'll see what happens' #but considering akira went from 'i wanna go home;_;' to 'whats the way to make sure all of u are safe in the fight against the moon' #as well as what they knew about them appearing right after their last battle w the moon. theres. suspicions. i am sure of it #either way there Is that one 1.5 segment too....... #I LOST MY THREAD #but. lots of stressful topics too #since akira knows how many wizards THEY had to summon and the implication the old sage summoned at least one too #thinks about some of the drusilla event lines again.....forget being special i wish we had met under normal circumstances...... #i had more to say about this topic but it also feels like just repeating myself i just think its gonna SUCK for akira #thinking about some lines in kk's diary too...T_T very akira to me. ill go find them again l8r

I feel like it’s very important to point out that in 12 hours, Mhok and Day are going to have emotional (steamy?) beach vacation sex, so ya know, just keep that in mind if you need something to get you through until tomorrow lol.

#also we might find out why Day hates his brother so much since his dad would have no idea Day was blind #so he’s probably going to ask why and how it happened #but I think like 99% of us already have figured that one particular plot point out #what’s more important is Day losing his virginity… question mark? #his ‘one more thing’ that he wanted to try with Mhok made it sound like Day was a virgin since he’s clearly gay unlike bisexual Mhok #who has been with people before although if Mhok had ever been with a man before still remains to be seen #either way it’s still gonna be - hopefully on screen - super romantic and soft because that’s Mhok #he’s such a softy for Day #he’s just the most tender lil ex-con #last twlight the series #mhokday

Oh ya I’ve heard Türkiye is having some elections today, how’s that going? :D

it’s on sunday!!! ive spent the entirety of this morning crying over election coverage LOL. this is the single most important event of my life. yk how every politician says the next election is the most important one so everyone should go out n vote? thats the situation here but quite literally.

on one hand you have islamic extremists (erdoğan. one of the “parties” that support him is literally formed from an extremist cult. the only reason they haven’t all been put on trial is bc erdoğan supports them and he’s only got the extremists’ support left. and also bc years back he declared a nationwide state of emergency and quickly passed multiple laws in succession where. he’s no longer the prime minister but “the sole leader” of turkey. yeah)

and on the opposition there’s a coalition of 6 parties, literally all the major left parties with some nationalists, with their joint candidate kılıçdaroğlu. CHP (the main opposition party) has been center left lately, but its the actual fuckin party that first turned turkey into a republic from a sultanate. its huge. compared to US politics the average left wing party is actually pretty fuckin left here LOL. and they havent won the govt since 1950s (last peaceful n prospering decades of turkey) AND. THEY ACTUALLY STAND A CHANCE. all the polls point towards kılıçdaroğlu winning the elections

and you have no idea how bad it’s been here for the last few years. god. there’s so many shit thats wrong in the country because of the current government. civillians getting arrested for tweets criticizing erdogan, not being able to afford anything, being unable to pay your rent, erdogan (WITH HIS SINGULAR DECISION) withdrawing from the istanbul convention, the femicides being the highest it has ever been since the entire history of the turkey, murdered religious minorities and murdered journalists, tens of thousands of people left alone to die after the earthquakes back in february. its pretty fucking scary living here unless you’re a cishet sunni muslim man.

everyone i know that can afford it has been fleeing the country. sometimes it feels like thats the only option you have unless you want to get killed as a 20 something year old trying to make ends meet. i’m only 20 yo myself and the past 8 years has brought me and everyone under 30 to such a place where the only thing we feel about the future is hopelessness. i feel like ive aged 10 years in the last year alone and i bet anyone thats lived under a similar govt can relate. my countrys politics alone has been robbing me of my youth and my will to live.

AND. DESPITE ALL OF THAT. i have hope for the very first time. i have hope for a better future now bc of the opposition candidate and i have faith in him to deliver his promises. everything thats happened since january he’s been dealing with with grace, and him + mayors from his party actually do shit.

so yeah. the entire course of turkey is gonna change this sunday. if we were to lose this would be the last democratic elections held (the last elections held, period) before erdoğan fully converted the country into an autocracy, and when kılıçdaroğlu wins its gonna become a socialist state, as socialist as it’s ever been since the 1950s. pretty fuckin big stakes

#sorry this got long this sunday is genuinely gonna be the single most important event in my life #this entire week passed in a haze this is the only thing that matters to me right now #also. sorry this got real serious. im just so tired of living under erdogans rule #cant help myself but speak about it when asked #this was just one of those questions that i could NOT do a short answer. even if i wanted to #on a lighter note. the majority of the people arent right wing theyre just plain stupid. LOL #for example in the last elections the turkish communist party won the mayoral elections of a city #and everyone is pretty happy with what they’ve been doing #we’re all pretty confident that kılıçdaroğlu is gonna win the majority of the votes #erdoğan is also known by his. fucking voter fraud #this time around though. everyone in the opoosition came together n put preventions in place #in elections here we have ‘voting booth observers’ #or whatever thats a bad translation. doesnt matter #theyre stationed at every ballot station(???). wherever you put your paper ballots in a box #im a volunteer myself too. gonna be working from 6 am-10pm the day of the elections #can not fucking stand having this piece of shit in office due to fraud for a day longer. not a vote will be misread and miscalculated

[sanstropfremir]

Bot sure if i sent this before *but* what do you think about the role fashion plays in kpop currently. I watched a video comapring new groups to older groups in the sense that older groups had more of a cohesive identity when brand deals and High fashion didnt play as big of a role in performances. I tend to agree. Lots of new groups wear the same few fashion pieces in different ways but its become “oh i saw x wearing this too!” Instead of themed outfits that matched with concepts.

i did actually write a post about my opinions on luxury branding a while ago that i can't for the life of me find again, but basically yes to all of that. most current kpop stylists are actually very bad at their jobs from a design point of view. luxury and designer branding is very commonly used shorthand for 'look this is good because it's expensive!' without any thought on 1) the holistic design of the cb itself, and 2) what the connotations of branding has on that cb. the best working stylist in kpop atm is a.c.e's stylist, who works on a budget of like $50 and whatever she can find in the beat int closet, so therefore her creativity is through the fucking ROOF. there's only one group where excessive luxury branding actually works in their favour and with their concept, and that's wayv, the reasons why i've talked about a lot already so i won't go into it again.

to elabourate a little bit more on what i think about it specifically though, i think when we talk about 'fashion' in kpop we're not actually seeing it used to it's fullest extent. i would never go so far to say that no stylists should ever use something from a designer or luxury brand, but none of these stylist are actually using the GOOD work from those designers and brands. the luxury styling that gets used in most kpop is the ready to wear commercial stuff, which just further feeds the capitalist machine and never fully realizes the artistic potential of the more haute couture or even just the more unusual brands. we've had some brushes with it, like when aron showed up in a gmbh shirt for a needle&bubble teaser photo, or like taemin popularizing loverboy, but imo it's not enough. i'll be happy when i start seeing idols in schiaparelli

#WAIT SORRY I FORGOT hyuna and dawn also can both use branding bc they know how to #very important inclusion #loverboy is a much smaller brand comparatively but it's REALLY exploded in kpop in the last two years its kind of crazy #most of the time it's actually used well tho since it's so visually distinctive #so you kind of have to know what you're doing in order to put it into a styling #some asked me to restyle rv's feel my rhythm and i did it all in rodarte and area so i dont think we should get rid of high fashion in kpop #bc there ARE was it can be used well #but also (in MY opinion) kpop has some of the WORST stylists in the ent industry #bc they are so incapable with so many basic principles #kpop styling #kpop questions #text #answers

Shining Force Data Collection - May 1992

These are from a special on japanese magazine Beep! Megadrive. I haven’t translated most of it because it’s your typical character stat analysis and item/magic list, but there were some fun character tidbits as well.

Protagonist

Leave the finishing blows to him

Character: A typical man, doesn't talk much. Many warriors admire him and join his force.

Special skills: He's the only one capable of ordering the wild members of the Shining Force to retreat.

Mae

Daughter of the Knight Captain, running through the wide fields

[jvhnmitchell]

Do you think John Mitchell should have lived? I think he gave himself the short end of the stick. :(

I might have to think and come back to this w a more detailed and less stream of consciousness response as I'm just off work and v tired but I do think that, while there could have been plenty of other outcomes, the most narratively satisfying and the Most Mitchell decision was the one he made in canon. And George being the self fulfilling prophecy of the wolf shaped bullet was done really well imo.

Mitchell spends all of his time in the show in this cycle of self destruction and addiction and hurting others without meaning to, and that guilt complex has to go somewhere, yknow? He knows that if he lives he's going to hurt them again and again, it's all he's ever done. His resolve just isn't strong enough one way or another. He abandons Herrick again and again, and he can't stay clean no matter how much his friends may try to help him. Maybe with time that he didnt see himself as having he could have properly gotten control of it, but thats only speculation. Not to mention, he seems to see it as a hopeless endeavor, and I don't exactly blame him, after he sees the man who got /him/ clean broke under pressure. The only truly moral decision in his eyes (and I won't even get into his catholic framework here) is to remove himself from the equation entirely. And then even in this decision he can't commit and makes George do it.

Not to mention his survivors guilt, however earned. Throughout the series it just gets worse and worse. As his kills mount despite his efforts, he's left to pick up the pieces, to either come clean or hide until he can't anymore and is forced to admit his wrongdoings. After he personally orchestrates Herrick's death, someone he used to consider a friend, you can see it fucks him up even if he doesnt want to admit it. After the bomb it only mounts, and then there's the box tunnel 20. He just sees his death as inevitable, as earned at this point.

While it is an extremely sad moment, I do also believe that had he lived, there would be another box tunnel 20, and another, and another, ("oh Jesus or a school" etc) and I think Mitchell knew that, too.

Tldr: do I think that he maybe sold himself short on his chances of getting better with a lot of time? Yes. But do I also think that he is fulfilling his pattern of self destruction to an extreme degree and and is enacting his belief that any bloodshed on the way to getting him there potentially decades later is not worth whatever theoretical life he could live on the other side of it? Also yes.

#should also be said i havent seen the last few eps of season 3 in a while just bc i tend to rewatch 1 4 and 5 the most #this doesnt exactly answer the question of if i think he /should/ have died but i think a more important question is if it was good for the #narrative arch of his character and i do think it is a fitting conclusion. final act of self destruction #also literally always feel free to drop in my asks/ dms to talk being human i am occasionally more eloquent than this i am so extremelytire

talking about subahibi is like, when does my world begin and yours end? how do i know what i experience is reality? what is the limit of our world? should zakuro kiss yuki or kimika?

#the trick is that the last question is actually the most important one #and the answer is both
