Mini 'Mentley', 1983. An Austin Mini, remodelled with styling to evoke the classic Bentley Speed 8s of the 1920s, was named as the winner of the 2024 Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK. Powered by a a 320bhp TVR V8 engine, when boosted by nitrous through straight exhaust pipes, early trials suggest it may achieve 0-60mph in 3 seconds. The car will now represent the UK on the global stage and stake its claim to be recreated as a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels die-cast model.

due to neat metahuman genesTM duke's skin naturally bends and refracts light like he's made of tiny prisms

normally this isn't a problem (dude isn't edward cullen) but it becomes a problem when you're trying to do say, medical imaging

cue bruce having a heart attack when duke puts on the signal suit for the first time and his vitals flatline (heartbeat and pulse ox sensors use light to calculate certain things about your vitals, hence weird refracty skin makes this Hard)

Since I can't seem to get over Siuan's death, I thought I'd listen to some music to ease the pain. I am now even sadder and must share it. So. Here are some songs that remind me of Siuan and SIUANRAINE :

'You're the best thing that ever happened to me' (by Gladys kynight)

'Viva la Vida' (Coldplay)

'Ne me quittes pas' & 'La chanson des vieux amants' (by Jaques brel)

'Mi sono innamorata di te' (by Ornella Vanoni)

'No surprises'(Radiohead)

'Une vie d'amour' (Charles Aznavour)

'La Maritza'(Sylvie Vartan. Reminds me of Siuan's own story)

'The way we were' (by Barbra Streisand & Gladys kynight. Gladys's version is better imo ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌)

'La déclaration d'amour' (France Gall)

'Neither one of us wants to say goodbye' (Gladys Knight again)

'My love,My life' (ABBA)

'I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUU'

Finally (For now)

'THE WINNER TAKES IT ALLLL' (⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノ (cuz you can't tell me he did allat and won't push Thomraine)

Good night. Wishing y'all a wonderful crying session.

Tendou Satori x Love at First Sight

Peanut’s Wheel of Fortune Event

Cw: pure fluff, Tendou being a silly bean, gn!reader, reader drinks strawberry milk, 900 words

Plot: Tendou didn’t expect that he will meet the love of his life next to a vending machine

Event Masterlist

Tendou Satori never prioritized romance in his life.

Why would he really? He finally had a fulfilling life: real friends, a passion he was excelling at, an environment he could thrive in. Finally, he wasn’t a creep, an outcast: he belonged. 

However, he would lie if he said he never thought about it. Of course, he did! He is just a teenager after all. But deep down, he is also a romantic. Only Ushijima knew that Satori reads all types of shoujo mangas and sometimes jokes that „if I won't have a love like that, I don’t want it!” (except the ones with miscommunication trope, these ones can go to hell).

He did not expect that this day, dull, windy, boring Wednesday would be the day he’d finally fall hard.

„Do you want something from the vending machine?” Tendou asked Ushijima during the break in between classes. 

„No need” Wakatoshi answered, making Tendou go all of the distance on his own. It's not as if he minded, he liked this alone stroll to his favorite vending machine, the only one in the school that sells the best brand of strawberry milk. 

When he arrived, the area was surprisingly empty, with only two or three people around. 

Tendou looked into his pockets to find any remaining coins, that he usually kept exactly for this part of his day. As he took a coin into his slim fingers, he saw a hand already putting their coin into the machine. 

„Sorry” you two said at the same time, standing close to each other. You smiled awkwardly feeling a little embarrassed that you didn’t notice someone. But Tendou? He was gone the second your eyes met. 

He felt the air leaving his lungs and his pupils widened. It felt like he was struck by lightning. He was just speechless. 

As you didn’t get any verbal reaction, you just continued to put the rest of the coins to the machine and you pressed the button. The red-haired guy looked at the machine and felt like he got transferred into a shoujo manga, and he was the protagonist. 

„Do you like strawberry milk?” He asked breaking the silence. You took the drink out of the machine and looked at him surprised. 

„Y-yeah. This one is my favourite, this is probably the best brand…” he couldn’t believe what he just heard. You looked at the machine and instantly panicked. 

„Oh no, you wanted this milk too? I think I just took the last one” you nervously scanned all of the options looking if there was any other strawberry milk left, as the spot from where you took yours was empty. „Oh no, I’m so sorry!”

Normally, Tendou Satori would sigh, shrug, and say that’s how it's supposed to be, but not this time. This was not a coincidence. This time, it was like all of the planets aligned for him. He looked at you with a smug at his face and then sighed dramatically. 

„This is actually my favorite drink of all time” he said with such a dramatic undertone. „I always have it before lunch, and today I have such an important match…. And I don’t know how I will handle it without my good luck charm, my routine” he sighed again and put the back of his hand on his forehead in the most dramatic position known to man. You really hoped he was joking, otherwise, you will start sweating nervously. You handed him the milk. 

„It's fine, I don’t need it that much…”

„No” he said and stopped your hand. His finger brushed your palm just for a second, and somehow still you felt a shiver going down your spine. „You got it, it's yours. However” he smirked. „How about you go on a date with me instead?”

You blinked twice, processing what you just heard. 

„…I’m sorry, what?” You couldn’t hide your surprise from him. But instead of getting all nervous and backing away from this bold request, he just sent you the warmest and brightest smile you ever saw. 

„Let's go out somewhere. We can get strawberry milk in a park, or go to the cinema: whatever you’d like.”

You felt your face getting warm and you crumbled under his gaze. You never expected to be asked out, especially not like this. 

„…Okay” you mumbled under your breath, hoping he wouldn’t notice your blush. You looked back at him, only to see an expression of a child getting their dream gift on Christmas all over his face. He took out his phone and handed it to you. 

Still in shock over what is happening right now, you put your number there, to an unknown guy from your school, and when you handed it back with your contact information, you noticed him repeating your name quietly as he was trying to engrave it in his memory. After that, he looked at you with the most adorable smile you saw. 

„I’m Satori Tendou” he introduced himself. You couldn’t help but think about how that’s you should start this encounter, not by agreeing on a date first. „And I think we will see each other way more often now” 

He walked away, leaving you with the feeling that he was right. 

At least you really hoped he was. 

This story is an Easter egg for people who read my old haikyuu headcanons

One thing I think about a lot is how almost everyone in TDP has like, a Shadow Self running around in arc 2.

Some of these are looser than others—Terry doesn't really have one; Soren loosely has one in Claudia given that like him, she's on the wrong side, but unlike him, is unwilling to leave—but some are quite overt.

For Callum, he obviously has Viren (+ Claudia and possibly Terry), but also specifically Finnegrin in 5x08 (seeking out / using dark magic to 'free yourself' from another's domain and tyranny, even if it's for different reasons). Karim is walking Viren's path, almost beat for beat and with a possibly Sun-and-dark-magic corrupted army on the way. Viren has Kpp'Ar (as a previous high and dark mage who eventually gives it up), his past self, and arguably Claudia ("Daddy look, I'm following in your footstep!") who likewise has him in turn. Ezran has the Orphan Queen ("You look so much like her") even if we don't know enough details to know what that truly means, yet, though it will likely be in a more positive light (as well as Harrow in the future). Rayla has Runaan (the bow, the behaviour), Kim'Dael (locks and chains and ghosts and banishment), and possibly even Aaravos, depending on how they spin his backstory next season (though he might apply to all the trio at one point).

Janai's direct comparisons thus far have been to her sister, Khessa, as she was her predecessor as queen. We see time and time again how different the sisters are. We also see Janai side with Aditi in the present day against her brother regarding the blood duel ("Blood fuels have been forbidden since the time of Aditi, you know our grandmother made the ritual illegal because it was nonsense!" "The ritual of blood and ash is ancient and sacred") and invoke her royal right to not free Kim'Dael, too.

Which is to say: I think the above framing of the nightmare — you're just like your sister, you're just like your grandmother — is meant to set up Janai's fears of succumbing to Khessa's fate just as much as walking her grandmother's path, two people both ended and threatened deeply by Aaravos. For Khessa, it was her arrogance, which Janai does not have much of; for Aditi, perhaps it was her mercy (whether true or what version she gave to Kim'Dael that was her downfall), which would make sense if Janai's choice to spare Karim (4x09) keeps coming back to screw her over. Or maybe it'll be her hesitation... only time will tell

yes, and by @hogwartsfirebolt (1k, G)

Tags: Post-War, Auror Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic Employee Draco Malfoy, Found Family, Fluff, Draco works at the Ministry kitchens, and yes, he overthinks a lot (what else is new)

Draco most definitely did not think they could talk. He opened his mouth to say as much, because no, what did they even have to talk to each other about? But Harry must have sensed it, because he added, “Please?” Open and earnest, one word dripping with the easy confidence he’d carried for a lifetime, the unassuming kind. It had been a no for so long, for so many good reasons. But not all of those reasons remained true, not even most of them — they’d been swept away by the stream of time, by life allowing the pieces that had held each of them slot into their fated place, no longer on opposing sides of a scale. Draco heard the sound of his own voice say, “yes.” He said, “yes, alright.” And suddenly, a lot of things shifted, things that had been a firm, unmovable no. And then they were yes. Yes, he went to get drinks with Harry and they talked. Yes, he promised he’d hear Harry out without fighting. Yes, he was sorry too. Yes, he wanted a fresh start. Yes, he was free next week at the same time. Then, as a knit jumper catches on a nail and unspools, a friendship with Harry was pulled out of him, accidentally, irrevocably.

yes, this has been a calm and a refreshing breeze.

Dedicate to the Golden Family, forever happy and never parting

From the left to the right is:

Golden Wheels/Isidore (16, 181cm)

Golden Boy/Theodore (17, 171cm)

Just a little gift for the Golden Day and our dear Theodore’s “birthday” (as 6.18 could represent the Golden Ratio)

Hope this moment could be permanent…
