#200mph

[author-orchids]

You know when you're imagining scenarios of your characters in your head and the development of one of your characters hits you like a Ford F-150 going 200 mph in a school zone

What's not to like? Smoky Nagata being legendary in my favourite fast car.

I fully believe that the correct Klemapollo dynamic would be "Klavier fell first, Apollo fell harder, and Ema fell face first down a well she didn't notice after tripping over a rock"

my mothers tip for cleaning is “listen to progressive music and hate ur mother”. So now I’m listening to my favourite fall out boy song while NOT hating my mother.

[brasiliangp]

also why do people hate george russell that much? it isnt like toto favours him though?? i mean lewis will still be his favourite

literally just because people think he needs to gladly sit and wave as him teammate passes by and can't understand that he is a racing driver and therefore is there to race all other 19 men on the grid <3

not me going down the wikipedia rabbit hole again to dig around my own delusions

her name had been vessel, as though it were a privilege — as though it were an honor. as though someone had spent their entire life trying to record the memories & habits & secrets of tengen : gifted & damned with immortality’s life source. it forever makes them incomparable, makes them irreplaceable. but on god on god on god : tengen’s secret lies in the holy life of parasite. tengen’s secret lies in preaching their rational truth & having good reason to do so.

without tengen, order disappears. that is the structure of peace because they are old, because weeds have grown around them & demonstrated that some things are hard to uproot.

but tengen’s secret lies in the holy life of parasite. even if tengen has evolved into something amorphous, it’s funny that conversation on tengen’s motivations are so muted when they originated in lives consumed & the agreement to continued life.

she would know. her name had been vessel, & it had been a privilege. because her life had been something shared, something networked, something that demanded that she be person enough & shell enough that could feed tengen her lost life & her potential —

her name had been vessel, & it meant maintaining balance. it meant safety prioritized & doctrine. it meant hours she spent at fourteen, dipping her toes into a local creek & listening to neighborhood girls chatter & imagining if she could pretend to be lady ophelia for a day. she had been prone to dreaming, back then. she had been bad at girlhood, back then. she hadn’t thought about her own motivations.

her name had been vessel. but even as lady ophelia, her name would always have been yuki tsukomo. so there had come a day when she had chosen too much life. she had chosen upset balance & mundane thrills that made her certain that her motivations were her own. it turns out that brutality comes far easier to her than girlhood.

her bike is her thrill. it’s an extension of herself that proves that she is allowed material choices, aesthetic preferences that establish her as renegade, as though there were never any other option for her.

fifteen years ago, the bike had been an impulse purchase. a self-driven ticket to choice.

fifteen years later, she spends too many sleepless evenings thumbing at the screen of her phone with whistled appreciation for maintenance tips & pictures of updated models, though she’s not looking for change.

her bike is her thrill. & it’s a pleasure to have continued such a impulse hobby.

choso is new to it, though. he crouches before her thrill, & she crouches besides him in solidarity. it always surprises her that he emits warmth, even though he’s so close tightly wound with death. her surprise is mild, the way that a slightly funny joke comes as a surprise when it stumbles into conversation.

balancing on the balls of her feet, she nudges at him with her elbow in encouragement to hover a little longer —- to study more & be curious more. she’s still figuring out his motivations, so she doesn’t mind the wait.

however, choso takes her act of familiarity as a cue. he has studied enough. so he rolls upright & folds his arms over his chest. yuki stays crouched & tilts her head to watch him —- distraction glosses over his expression. he looks good enough that, on impulse, yuki whistles at him. just to watch him startle, just to watch him frown.

he really is her type.

she bites back a laugh & ignores the way that the wind starts casting loose strands of blond against her cheek. with her hands at her knees, she pushes herself to stand & hums a droning note that goes unheard.

from @theirs1n : he’s bent over in a crouch, dark eyes looking over the mechanical work and intricacies of her bike. he’d never quite seen something like this before, the shape especially. but he is learning much from time and from her. “ how fast does it go? ” as he asks he stands, his arms cross and an absent look settles into his features. “ what are they called again? ”

‘ it’s a kawasaki ninja h2 — ‘ she says instead offering the simple answer motorcycle. her laugh escapes her like shrapnel, & she twists her hands into her hair to tie it back. ‘ i can show you how fast it goes. i can’t promise you’ll like it, though. ‘

her name had been vessel. but even as lady ophelia, her name would always have been yuki tsukomo. she thinks she makes her motivations clear.

I'm sure that that is definitely a real thing that happened.

i get the fascination with high speed rail in the usa cause its cool and good and we should have it but we dont but at the same time its like... theres so many places without any passenger rail at all and most of them dont get more than one train a day in each direction. like im not saying high speed rail shouldnt be in the cards or whatever its just like. if you went to arlington texas and proposed a metro. they dont even have a public fixed route bus system. cmon.

FRANK OCEAN - IN MY ROOM // SMOKEY NAGATA's MIDNIGHT 200MPH BLAST

[douglas-rain]

the documentaries on the nfb website are better video & audio quality than the youtube uploads and i'm very thankful for that, but i gotta say the fact that it pauses the film if i click to another tab is very annoying lol

anyway. bird of passage is only 10 minutes, which means there's not much point to doing a reblog chain. it's an interesting little vignette! and i like the narration by DR of course, which i'm sure nobody here is surprised by

My pastor: when you lie to others, usually you start by lying to yourself and that's scary isn't it

Me, floating three feet above the rest of the audience and shaking violently (i had a half cup of coffee): yes, Minecraft cafe, I love cheese oh wait sermon oh yeah

[boypussydilf]

you Gotta do freelance usbands. for the fucked up bingo. i forgot the h fuck it im leaving it like that

*terrible cockney accent* They’re ‘usbands

you open the sam & max and its like [comical violence] [fourth wall breaking jokes] [parody of a parody] [aggressively exaggerated americana] [complete indecipherable nonsense] [strangely earnest and touching expression of how much these two guys care about each other and will go to the ends of the earth for each other and don’t particularly care to be anything but completely up front about it] [immediately followed by one of them running the other over with a car or something]

sammymacks have exclusive rights to eternal codependency. they literally cannot function regularly without each other for more than a few minutes and this is much better for society and for them than any alternative would be. well it’s better for them anyway. whether sam and max would be less or more of threats to society without each other is highly up for debate. but instead of testing that it’s probably better to back away and leave them alone before they start biting you.
