TENNIS PLAYERS & F1 DRIVERS INSTAGRAM FOLLOWING DEEP DIVE

after Oscar trying to collect all the tennis players (turns out its actually not that many) and the two worlds colliding a lot in general I got curious how connected they really are.

As a disclaimer I focused on the ATP top ten plus some WTA and other ATP players that I am interested in and only included drivers that I support so this is not a complete picture but I had to break it down somewhere.

These are the results:

Some hot takes:

The only two players that are followed by all of the big four are Jannik and Casper. The only player who isn't followed by any of the big four is Taylor. George Russel is followed by more members of the big four (3/4) than 64% of the active ATP and WTA players.

There apparently is beef between Sincaraz and Grigor Dimitrov that is bad enough for Daniil not following them as well and I need to know the tea

The ATP top ten loves Charles Leclerc. Like how did he manage that all of them are following him

The most followed player over all is Novak - not a surprise I would say and he is also the one who follows the most people on this list

Casper Ruud is the most followed player just based on ATP players the only one from the ATP who doesn't follow him is Jack Draper and I totally blame this on Caspers dislike for gras what is Jacks favourite surface. At the same time Casper is the only one who isn't followed by any of the girls or F1 drivers

Talking about Jack he only follows five players and one of them is Demon what only makes sense to me when we count him as british

I am a bit disappointed that the only men who follow nearly all of the girls are Carlos, Novak and Stefanos but then the girls dont really follow each other either

The most popular women are Coco and Emma with Emma being the only one followed by some of the drivers

Rafa and Taylor are both like "F1 I dont know her" and I respect that

Charles is the driver who follows most of the players (Pierre would be with him if he wouldn't be jealous of Jannik's crush on Charles)

Both Ollie and Alex having such a random taste in players was a surprise to me

Talking about Ollie and Alex whats the tea behind them not following each other

Feel free to add whatever you find

Any update on Reprieve part 2? 🙂

hey hi hello! i'm so sorry it's taking me so long to post part 2 🙇🏻‍♀️ thank you and everyone else for your patience, i really appreciate it, you have no ideaaa 💕

I had a couple of things pop up that made me sorta put my art and the comic on hold. Namely, some health stuff and a brief period where maybe I had burnt out slightly(?) and everything I was drawing wasn't turning out quite right (though it could also just be that my skills likely aren't up to par with how I would hope for this to look 😵‍💫) so I took a week or two off to shake off the art block.

Then my friend introduced me to the Magic Poser app last week which has been a SAVING GRACE for a good chunk of the things I had been struggling with and it's gotten me back on track with part 2 in the last few days (bless her 🙌)

I'm hoping that I'll finally be able post part 2 sometime next week now that I'm back on a roll with this (and now that my health finally seems to be cooperating with me once again lol) 💗

i want to play a game like facade again. i want to be able to destroy the relationship between two barely cobbled together ais. i want to be able to type random bullshit and have them stare blankly at me to try to process it. ign said the walking dead games was like facade fuck off telltale could never be facade

Look, in an ideal world Taylor would take more musical risks

[untimelyambition]

the whole diamond heist scene with the lasers in gl2 is genuinely the funniest thing i have ever seen in my entire life. vinny so reassuringly saying “throw me” and ranboo and sneeg not even arguing with him just flat out agreeing to lob him across the room. the different shots of them swinging him back and forth to get momentum. the fucking puppet flying through the air. sneeg and ranboo staring off into the distance to watch him soar, the instant cut to them holding each other screaming. vinny hitting the fucking roof???? the elation. the anvil falling sound effect. the looney tunes stare as it falls from the sky. vinny’s final words. the fucking anvil crushing his head in (and the shock that came watching it live and not being able to pause or rewind and see the cut). ranboo making the world’s worst pun. sneeg’s indignant “i’m not throwing you!’. everyone moving on as if it didn’t happen. truly the funniest scene in all written history. i will never recover.

[studentbyday]

the burnout is real. i have to do smth about it b4 it gets worse bc i really want to enjoy the courses i'm taking rn and i WAS able to enjoy it in the beginning... but the only way i can feel okay doing smth other than study is if i finish this week's stuff by friday... wish me luck cuz the motivation and willpower are quickly draining! 😅😣 (also the fact that the sun's setting noticeably earlier is NOT helping [as much as i love autumn, this is my least favorite part XD])

productivity:

mol bio notes (i think i'm feeling confused bc the chemistry of DNA polymerase activity is just so disorganized in my brain 😑)

finished biochem notes for today + watched ninja nerd video on tca cycle bc i didn't feel like reading (and it actually surprisingly helped reduce the overwhelm bc he included a lot of info i got to skip over cuz we don't need to know it for this course 😅)

self-care:

yoga (like 10/30 mins bc i was so tired 😪)

[lizzardson]

looking through the chess the musical tag is so funny to me because I'm realizing how strange and specific of a relationship I have to that show. no one understands chess like I do unless your extremely divorced musical theatre nerd parents were both obsessed with it and would listen to it on repeat during your formative years and your mom would tell you how much freddie trumper is just like your father and your dad would say that your mother is florence vassy and they both meant it in the most derogatory way possible and what do you mean people ship freddie and anatoly both of those men are my father

well that's a first

The Disney Showman (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

Nostalgia can be a powerful force. The Greatest Showman portrays P.T. Barnum as a dreamer who wanted to entertain people above all else. There is a very similar air to the general perception of Walt Disney. Both men were, of course, much more complicated than their public personas, but the parallels were too strong for the PattyCake guys to resist. Especially since both Tony and Layne had worked at Disney World, performed on Disney cruises, and collaborated on projects with the company at large. So combining the Showman music with a visual retrospective of Walt's life was a perfect fit.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals — The Disney Showman

performers: D.J. Muto, Paul Kaleka, & James Keaton (Walt Disney); Eli Jacobson (Roy Disney / featured vocals); Jonathan Timpanelli & Joey D'Angelo-LaJoie (Robert & Richard Sherman); Olivia Adkins (Snow White model); Amy Garton (Julie Andrews); Isabella Muto (Shirley Temple); Jacob McAlister, David Kotary, James Berkley, Domenic Servidio, Chadd Winston, & Eduardo Marques de Oliveria (animators); Alexander Browne (animator / Mouseketeer); Rachel Copeland Evans, Gizelle Pagan, & Darlene Chudinski Henry (Mouseketeers); Brad Pettit (Mouseketeer / chimney sweep); Jason Tibbs, Michael Rundy, Matt Hudson (chimney sweeps); Lauriel Marques de Oliveria, Grace Flaherty, & Sonia Roman (inkers & painters); Hannah Laird, Tony Wakim, Layne Stein, & Lilly Kolb (featured vocals)

original songs / performers: "Rewrite the Stars", "A Million Dreams", & "Come Alive" by the cast of The Greatest Showman (2017); "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" by James Baskett in Song of the South (1946); "I Got No Strings" by Dickie Jones in Pinocchio (1940); "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" by Bobby Driscoll, the cast of Peter Pan (1953), & The Jud Conlon Chorus; "Mickey Mouse Club March" by the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club (1955)

written by: "Rewrite the Stars", "A Million Dreams", & "Come Alive" by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul; "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" by Allie Wrubel & Ray Gilbert; "I Got No Strings" by Leigh Harline & Ned Washington; "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" by Sammy Cahn & Sammy Fain; "Mickey Mouse Club March" by Jimmie Dodd

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 2 March 2018

My favorite bits:

combining the Disney fanfare with instrumentation from "Rewrite the Stars"

young Walt sketching Oswald the rabbit, followed by adult Walt creating Mortimer Mickey Mouse

the newspaper headline noting that Disney's first studio failed at the start of "Come Alive"

those extremely perky Mouseketeers

Tony and Layne doing their best faux-Cockney accents for the chimney sweeps' vocals

showing footage from the actual parks

elder Walt coughing as he walks away, a somber sign of the lung cancer that took his life

returning to young Walt still dreaming of ♫ "the world I'm gonna make" ♫ that we've just seen

Trivia:

The actors playing young Walt Disney and Shirley Temple are siblings.

James is yet another of Tony's fellow alumni from the "Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue" show at Universal Studios, having played BJ himself for many years.

The subtle special effects makeup that transformed James into Walt was created by Andy Wright at Makeup and Creative Arts, and was applied by Rick Underwood.

This video was filmed on location at the MBS Equipment Company warehouse space in Orlando, using some of their lighting equipment. There is also additional footage from both Disneyland and Disney World.

PattyCake garnered some praise from several of their fellow former theme park cast members in the YouTube comments for both the accuracy of the behind-the-scenes imagery and the celebration of the Disney legacy.

As they did with their "La La Land" video, PattyCake highlighted their attention to detail with a series of "Double Take" posts on social media, comparing shots from the video with the iconic moments they had recreated.

As a bonus, the thumbnail for the video itself is a recreation of a photo of Disney that was also used as the cover art for PBS's episode of American Experience about him.

Does zombie mob have fangs? When he's cured would still have them? Also how strong is zombie mob compared to human mob?

i like to pronounce fangs in my art bc it's fun and i think it looks cool but zombie mob doesn't actually have bigger or sharper canines than humans do. it's the Bite that's dangerous, not the sharp teeth, and that's not just because a zombie bite can turn you*

zombie mob is Very strong! ritsu first discovered this when trying to gently (and then with more oomph) push him down onto blankets to get him to sleep and it was basically impossible to even budge him, no matter how much strength behind it he applied—if mob doesn't wanna lie down, He Simply Won't <3

ritsu was reminded of this later, during the incident where tome was swarmed and mob defended her. during the fight mob had grabbed one of the zombie's heads and slammed it into the wall of a nearby trailer and the dent it made,,, let's just say that was Not caused by human levels of strength.

*after that ^ fight, ritsu came to the realization that zombie jaw strength is Wicked. they can bite down on metal and bend it if they wish—if they wanted to break bone with a bite, they could do so. mob was Incredibly lucky he got away with as few wounds as he did during that quarrel; the ones in his arm are Bone Deep and if that same level of strength had been applied to his neck, it woulda ended everything in a snap

important to note that bc he's prolly one of the healthiest zombies out there, that also means he's not as shaky as the others from starvation—zombie mob could potentially have a lot of strength underneath that docile nature, more than most zombies could muster up

luckily, ritsu has never been on the receiving end of mob's new abilities, but that also means he's largely in the dark about what he's capable of. mob never rly uses his strength outside of fights, and when ritsu tries to get him to lift something heavy, mob just kinda stares at him and then gets distracted by a bee. it's very hard to utilize any advantages his brother may give him in surviving, and ritsu doesn't wanna treat him like some servant, so he largely forgets about his strength until it's used in very dangerous close calls

will the nika plush ever be available again? I'm really sad I missed her, I love the keychain i was able to get of her back around 2020ish. If not, no worries! Ik that kind of stuff is expensive. I'm a huge fan of fb&c and I replay it regularly, it's genuinely one of my favorite art pieces of all time. Thank you so much for making it and sharing it with us.

i definitely want to sell it again! i really hope this winter or coming spring i can sell it again!

it's a mixture of me not having enough space or time to ship things because of university & me not having the money to invest in ordering a second batch (the minimum order is 50 pcs, which would cost about 1000 USD at the least for me)

i deeply appreciate your support and am sorry about how long it's taken me to order more! i do think about it often and i feel guilty, i've been in the same position as you so i'm sorry to keep you waiting

i'm very grateful that you've not only played fb&c but replayed it, i'm deeply touched Q_Q your words give me the power to keep on making stuff!!

Another new blorbo! This time brought to you by the exciting character creation mechanics of the Traveller TTRPG system!

Elio Dax was a smalltown, Earthborn boy with stars in his eyes and dreams of adventures with a trusty crew. As soon as he came of age, he enlisted with the intergalactic navy and worked his way up through the ranks of the command track. His time in the navy was filled with hard work, good friends, love and betrayal.

Inevitably, Elio's instinct-driven approach and his protective streak would prove incompatible with the strict procedures of the navy. He was honorably discharged and was almost immediately approached by the IIDA (Intergalactic Intelligence and Defense Agency) and was recruited as an intelligence officer.

Through charm, diplomacy and cunning, Elio spent several years spying, uncovering plots and protecting civilians. And while he enjoyed helping people, the subterfuge and solitude was a far cry from the adventures and camaraderie he'd dreamt of as a kid.

Elio eventually decided to leave the intelligence service to pursue his boyhood dream: to captain his very own crew on adventures though the stars. And with the help of an intrepid journalist he'd met on his final mission, he set out to find a ship and assemble a crew!
