anyways i genuinely and deeply believe that seb is one of the best, well-rounded, most talented racing drivers currently active and i think no matter where he was racing, he'd adapt within less than one season. he's incredibly versatile, everyone who has worked with him praises his quick understanding, intelligence and detailed feedback. he's a genius on track and seizes every opportunity he can and any team across all of motorsport recognizes his talent. so many other drivers know him to be courteous and friendly and so many racing series want to win him (and the fanbase and recognition that comes with him) to drive for them. It's clear that once a team is genuinely happy to have him and listens to him, he's a major force that very few other drivers could come up against.

okay this is so small but makes me really happy. taketora just got done talking about how much he admires tanaka and how cool and "manly" he is, which like makes sense right, both tanaka and taketora are always being shown as these like loud "boy's boys" archetypes who do everything with power, talk about girls, and emphasize "guts" and "manliness," so obviously taketora would respect tanaka

but then he immediately turns to also think about how much he admires fukunaga in the same way—fukunaga who doesn't display any of those same qualities that taketora was just admiring about tanaka. fukunaga is quiet, fairly low-key and doesn't flaunt anything ever. dude just goes around making weird puns that 1 people often barely even hear and 2 apparently seem to baffle everyone. but taketora sees all of that and sees how fukunaga still shows up and gets the job done more than successfully—he's one of the top point getters on the team—and taketora respects him for all of that, still calls him a "man's man" and tbh more than respects him, he admires him and sees him as a rival

and idk that just makes me happy, like 1 it's a nice small way of furudate saying that yeah "manly" is a thing that's important to taketora but it doesn't just mean one stereotypical thing—like it's showing that taketora isn't as one dimensional as we would have thought and that he sees things from multiple perspectives (we also saw this from him back during the whole "guts" thing with kenma and how he respects him too)—and it's also an example of seeing fukunaga from another perspective too. it's because he's so low-key that even we as readers have probably barely noticed how much of a rock he is for the team, but if you got back through their matches you can see how often he does score—he's quiet but he's always there. and i just like that furudate takes a moment to not only acknowledge fukunaga but to do it from taketora's pov in order to really hit it home to us how true it must be

Transmasc Swag Polls- ROUND 1

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

CANONICITY LEVELS-

PHINEAS: Because I Said So ANYBODYS: Subtext/ Coded (1961 film)/ CANON Transgender Man (2021 film)

MEDIA? Phineas and Ferb, West Side Story (movies specifically)

PHINEAS PROPAGANDA- He has that tboy slouch and a voice that gives me gender envy. He’s the shortest of his friend group AND he has a side-shave. He’s an active parallel character to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and we already know that HE’S trans. He created the most stereotypically “masculine” superhero and it just so happened to make him tall, strong, and have a deep voice. Also his sibling is Ferb. Lookat him. Lookat his autism eyes and pointy, pointy face and many-a creations. This boy is trans, I have no doubt in my heart. ANYBODYS PROPAGANDA- In the original, Anybodys is a tomboy who wants to join the Jets but can’t because they’re a girl. There’s a cut song where they sing about how they want to be a boy, they get upset when they’re called a girl, and towards the end, one of the other Jets refers to them as “buddy boy” to signal they’ve become one of them. In the 2021 version, they’re played by a nonbinary actor and it was confirmed they’re intended as transmasc. What Anybodys wants more than anything is to be seen as one of the boys in the Jets. The first part of the musical shows us how much they feel disconnected from the other gang members, and how they refuse to let Anybodys officially join the gang because they see them as a girl. After Riff dies and the Jets' second in command takes over, he makes a point to include Anybodys with the rest of the boys and calls them "buddy boy", which results in the clearest non-canon depiction of gender euphoria I've ever seen. In the 2021 remake, Anybodys is a trans man, and the movie touches on his issues finding acceptance in the Jets because of his gender (or so I've read in the plot summaries, I haven't actually seen this one). They're scrappy! They're sneaky! They don't back down from a fight, and the only thing they want more than being seen as one of the boys is to be helpful to the people the respect.

BEST MODERN FAIRYTALE ADAPTATION! ROUND 2C, MATCH 1 OUT OF 2!

The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley is based off various fairytales; Belle (2021) is based off Beauty and the Beast.

Propaganda Under the Cut:

The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley:

The Sisters Grimm was a formative read for me as a kid. It’s fun and episodic, but over time it also examines both what place fairytales have in modern lives and uses fairytale characters as an allegory for self-determination.

Belle (2021):
