Some quotes from the commentators that made me burst into tears:
"That was wonderful stuff from Fernando Alonso, and you thought, once Perez gets by, "Goodnight." Perez waited, deployed it well. The problem was you're talking about one of the Greats in Formula 1 history. "Two-time champion" doesn't begin to tell you how good Fernando Alonso is...Brilliant stuff, really great work from Fernando Alonso, holding on in what definitely, undoubtedly, is the inferior car.
"It [DOTD] should've been Alonso, shouldn't it?"
"Fernando Alonso, it doesn't matter how many days old, years old, he is, the amount of Grand Prix he's run, he is so crafty, he is so wily. He is such a good wheel-to-wheel racer. To hold out with the inferior car against that kind of pressure for so long? Absolutely incredible.
"You might get past Fernando Alonso, but you might not stay ahead."
"Fernando Alonso fought like a lion out there!

Do fairies go through a sort of heat?
Sorry if this was asked already, lol ono
Under normal circumstances, no, but should the fairy population become dangerously small then the firstborns can release a pheromone that will make every fairy of mature age go into a heat. This has only happened twice in their history, and it’s quite exhausting work for the firstborns do to, so they’re glad it’s not something they have to do often. The funny thing is the pheromone works on them, too, so it almost caused another “oops faerling” to happen again. Luckily, it was avoided.

How do I even armour, part 1:
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5
I was thrilled to see that an overwhelming majority voted for WIPs on my last poll, so here we go! Sam Vimes armour design!!
I've been drawing this guy for over 10 years and I never sat down and tried to actually understand how armour works. So this project is an attempt at figuring it all out! Hence why I fully draw each layer of clothing before moving on to the next.
This one is the cold weather variant of the uniform and later I'm going to make a warm weather variant too. And both of them are going to be a kind of mix-and-match of ancient Roman and medieval European styles, with a good helping of "who cares, it looks cool".
What we have here so far are:
A gambeson (left) with detachable sleeves. It acts as a protective layer to prevent chafing from the armour. Sturdy, padded, think similar to a quilted jacket.
Leather breeches, which end just below the knee
Some sturdy, well-made boots (to Vimes's dismay)
Chainmail (right). It's a single piece that you put on over your head, relatively short for freedom of movement.
Leather gloves (cause they look really cool) for those frigid nights!
Stay tuned for more! Helmet and breastplate next! :3

They should give me millions of dollars to make a prestige historical drama. What will it be about? I don't really know, but I will have three or four dress historians on staff to do for historical costuming what those consultants hired by the Jurassic Park producers did for paleontology. Everyone's hair is styled period-accurate with hair oil and authentic product, I forbid the actors from using modern shampoos during filming. Hats will be worn!! There will be no explosions or CGI because I spent all that money on textiles.

you know what? even if this season doesn't go the way we want, even if the powerplay never reaches its full potential, even if jarry isn't back to his prime, it'll all be fine because we got the core all together in sid's childhood home.
