2012 belgian grand prix truly has the wildest and most iconic first minute of the whole season (so far)
first: this incredible jump start by pastor maldonado that for some reason has the race commentators like “uhh did he jump start or was he just that good?” like…do you all have eyes????
THEN designated track war criminal of the year™️ (the predecessor to k mag if you will…but WORSE) romain grosjean causes his 1037472919 inchident of the season when he bumps lewis and subsequently takes himself, lewis, and CURRENT WDC LEADER alonso immediately out of the race:
which in turn prompts this incredible performance from nicole scherzinger, WAG of all time, who should have fucking EGOT’d for the role of “aggrieved formula one girlfriend of the 2012 season” bc no one has ever done it like her before or since KNOW THAT
all of that in under 60 seconds…

If you've just discovered Billford from the Book of Bill you'll enjoy:
Knowing Me Knowing You on ao3!
If you're looking for fanfic to read that hits on the key dynamics from the Book of Bill, (despite the bulk of the fic existing before the books release) look no further! In the interest of tooting my own horn, to celebrate the new chapter I'd like to recommend a fic inspired by ABBA BABBA's musical back catalogue!
If you read the book of bill and wanted to see more of:
toxic old man yaoi billford
pre-betrayal worshipful billford (plus canon typical gravity falls anomaly research and hijinks)
post betrayal angsty possession billford (with bonus BORD!)
interdimensional cat and mouse portal billford (catch me if you can!)
Stanford getting it on with a triangle (and a human bill pre-betrayal) in many weird and wonderful ways
complex relationship dynamics between Ford, Fiddleford and Bill
Institute of Oddology toxic fidd/author/bill side story
Heist after heist with the henchmaniacs
Ford's portal adventures!
Terrible jokes that will make you laugh anyway!
A power dynamic that levels the playing field (Ford in control) and then decimates the field altogether!
Ford fell first, Bill fell harder!
Fleshed out backstories for the wider cast in Gravity Falls and a story that respects everyone's agency!
A Billford fic that takes a break from the toxic ship to spend a chapter with Stanley pug smuggling in New Mexico
Morally ambiguous Jheselbraum with past connections to Bill
Lottocron 9 and the infinity sided dice (including Ford's trip to the M dimension! Hate that place!!!)
Then you might enjoy this fic! It's just updated, with more chapters on the way, so if you're ready for a journey into mystery, mayhem and mischief, strap yourself in!
*author's disclaimer - Book of Bill DID align exactly with my fanfic and I was not disappointed!

I can understand someone feeling...skeptical of art auctions and the way that single pieces of art can sell for millions of dollars. Like, art as an investment by the rich, like rich people pouring their wealth into anything, can leave a sour taste in your mouth. Sure.
But it's *always* abstract art that gets shit on for this. I never see people gawk in disgust when a Monet goes on auction. When a Van Gogh sells for 50 million dollars. When Degas or Renoir art is valued in the millions.
"Oooo yall are just dumb pretentious stooges who think any bullshit paint on canvas is so deep so rich people can launder their money" unless it's an artist YOU like. Unless it's a piece of art YOU like. Unless it's something YOU personally think is valuable.
Consider for once not be the true paragon of universal taste.

i love jacob anderson’s acting. i love his microexpressions. i love that you can tell how louis is exactly feeling based on his posture alone. i love his accent and his line delivery choices. i love how much of his soul and heart is clearly going into this character and how there is a clear difference between the louis in the flashbacks to louis in 2022. i’m giving a standing ovation!

Viola Davis getting snubbed by the Oscars, only to get her revenge almost 2 weeks later by achieving EGOT status is iconic queen behavior.
