#he can do it because its his car

[mishapen-dear]

thinking about 4halo again and dying

they just. they used to be so sweet together. and then the election arc managed to genuinely turn them against each other (and bad is still affected by being caged in the museum) and i would NOT have been surprised if a rebellion had started within the next few weeks after their last fight and. they used to be friends and then they almost destroyed each other

and then the eggs went missing

and there are so many parallels between them, but one of the biggest parallels is how they're both protectors. they both protected the eggs (and, when he became president, forever extended that protection to the other islanders) but the eggs went missing and they had to put all of that aside. Forever was quicker to put it down than Bad was (it felt like only a very temporary truce, from Bad's end), but they put their problems on hold, because their eggs. were gone.

and another parallel. the destruction. both of them with their plans to cause ruin because then, maybe, theyll get their kids back. bad caused most of the grieving arc damage directly, and got aypierre and antoine to help him. he dug holes in the ground. he placed mines everywhere and leapt into them. he started the lavacasting process of the fed building (and was interrupted by admins, so he stopped, but philza and fit were still right to laugh at him lmaoo). he drilled a hole through the side of the federation office from a huge distance away. he has chosen to hurt his friends and himself to get the eggs back. whatever the cost.

forever destroyed the island. or he planned to destroy the island. or he was interrupted just before he destroyed the island or or or. I don't know. but it was big, and it was bad. bad enough that the feds had to step in and forcefully drug him, and kickstart the happy pills arc.

and the happy pills arc..... oughghghgh as fucking awful as it was for their characters to experience i genuinely truly think that it saved them from each other. when he was first told about forever being fucked up bad was still in the "i need to kick his butt" mindset, and was all ready for an excuse to kill forever. and then he saw forever. and the first proposal happened. and bad was angry and he was sad and upset and he was careful. forever tried to kill him. bad decided to save him. forever kept trying to marry him. forever kept taking the pills. forever was so scared of his own anger and all of the damage he could and would have caused to his family that he kept taking drugs that kept him so out of his mind he hallucinated his son was just sleeping safely at his house.

and they both tried to kill each other. and they both failed.

and bad showed phil and cellbit (and tubbo) the item scanner that dapper discovered, which could destroy him, because nothing else was working. because they needed to save forever. because bad was reminded by then that forever was a victim of the federation instead of just a mouthpiece for it. and then when forever woke up he saw bad, suffering, and so excited to see him awake.

and now they're here on opposite sides again with forever projecting his protection urges onto the fed worker in bad's basement and bad frustrated that he isn't being believed and his evil plans of giving ron lemons apology brownies is being interrupted and. look at them. soft "i hate you" and the appreciation room and bad's quiet heartbreak when he learned about forever being missing and the "i miss you" book bad got mad at because it asked him not to torture fed workers. does anyone hear me im so ill about them. do you understand they care about each other so much and the happy pills arc reminded them of that. forever realized bad is colourblind and bad assumed forever was poisoning him and then forever helped bad cheat on another colourblindness test and forever was giving bad flowers and bad was accepting them and accepted that he was colourblind despite his previously constant denial and! i don't know if im being comprehensible and i dont really care i will be honest i just need you to know i am frothing at the mouth like a rabid little beast. they are a TRAGEDY of miscommunication and external pressure but they love so so much. platonic or romantic or qpp they CARE and it tears me to shreds

i genuinely love when you can tell an older show was Not made with high quality video viewing in mind. i am watching knight rider and constantly seeing all the little mistakes they surely brushed under the rug thinking nobody would see them on their crunchy little CRTs back in the 80s, that are huge attention grabbers now in HD fullscreen on my 3 foot computer monitor

the biggest one of course is all the drivers/controllers for the (in-universe) self driving car, kitt. there's guys tucked down in the footwells who can't always stay out of the shot. there's a guy who has a Car Seat Suit to blend in and look like the drivers seat from a distance, but you can always tell when that's the method they're using for a particular shot because its so much thicker than the passenger seat next to it and the headrest is missing it's cutout section. in at least one instance he starts taking the suit off too early, on a focus shot of the damn car, so its REAL visible.

all the extremely obvious stunt drivers or performers who look nothing like the character they're supposed to be

props, such as animals, vanishing from the car interior for stunt/race sequences.

the production crew (or their shadows) being visible in the background. only at a glance, but its especially hilarious in shots where nobody else is supposed to be around

the camera panning out from a sound stage set far enough that you can actually see over the edges of the set and into the stage they were filming in. mostly this happens with their truck trailer mobile unit thing.

this one isn't a mistake but every time the car "turbo jumps" they CLEARLY hide the ramp behind another car, a prop, the environment, and its just. so charming. sometimes its blatantly on screen just for a moment. like... of Course in real life this car isn't magically leaping 20 feet, of course its a ramp, but it's still so silly and fun to be reminded of how they were doing those stunts to begin with.

also not really a mistake but related, the bracket they keep on the front of the car for stunt work.... is just left on half the time. cuz it's a pain to take on and off.

and there are more examples that are more unique that haven't cemented themselves in my head well yet, but these are the more notable or common things i see and it's really charming. if i'm not giggling to myself noticing the "seams" and flaws and so human imperfections of your show or movie what EVEN is the point. hollywood is too flashy these days i think!

people who love to nitpick every little thing in sonic media and act like it's good criticism need to stop going "ummm why doesn't he just run. it's faster" every time sonic drives a car for any reason . its because he wants to gave a fun and fair race with his friends OBVIOUSLY . where is your joy and whimsy

I would love to hear your thoughts on MCU Tony stark. Irondad specifically. 😌🎤

NORMAL BEHAVIOR KING.

I do not have very sophisticated opinions. Tony Stark, as a character, is defined by his flaws. He fucks up, he does his best to make up for it, he helps people. That's what makes him a hero and a good person. He makes a mistake and he takes responsibility for it. He tries, fails, and tries again until he gets it right. Otherwise he'd be pretty unlikable.

Pulling Peter into the Germany thing in Civil War was a massive mistake and I think Tony understood that. I mean it was actual literal child trafficking. It was incredibly messed up. Tony behavior, but not at all appropriate for an adult to do.

It's interesting to go from there, because now this guy absolutely took responsibility for the one child in NYC who is physically incapable of being normal about anything, and he completely dodged that responsibility. Hoco seemed like the process of him realizing "holy shit I'm doing what my dad did", taking responsibility for Peter, and helping him out and giving him the support he should have had in the first place. In his really clunky and earnest but very weird and ineffective Tony way.

Like that was my impression? My impression was "he sucks, but he's trying". That's IM in a nutshell. It's interesting. It's physically incapable of being interesting if you strike through the "yeah but he's terrible at it" aspect of this. There is nothing left. Their relationship is built on a foundation of Tony Being Absolutely Terrible At This. But he's trying, because Tony always wants to be better even when he doesn't know how.

You have officially thrown me under the Irondad bus are you happy. Did you win, king.

theres no way yersey has never ever been in a car crash because that man drives like his grandma is on her death bed bro 😭

OH MY GOD NOT BUBBE!!!!! also Put! Some! Respect! On! CLEO! BROFLOVSKI'S! NAME!!!!! because...she is dead...rip bubbe. </3 ;-;

...which i think explains A Lot abt why kyle drives the way he does.

( like no one's life depends on it -- sheila also drives like that, btw )

**idk what the rest of this ask is, i kind of just went rogue. i hope you like rollercoasters and zero consistency other than Driving HCs.

also this is just baaarely clinging to relevance in this subject area, but speaking of visiting people related to ky, i was thinking abt the iconic cd/blondie merger trip down to south park for ike's winter formal

— which, please note, i am still working out the details of, so i might be vague when i talk abt stuff bc things are subject to change —

ft. a dif ask where someone was wondering how kyle introduces stan/raven to his parents and stuff, here's my answer for you:

jerseykyle introduces ravenstan to his parents as "raven of crimson dawn" wHO HAS BLUE HAIR IN THE SP PART OF RM BTW!!!! yes, that does mean he's going through it; please be nice to him. and sheilas like "aH! so YOU'RE the reason that my sweet ike-y is puttin cleanin supplies in his hair and stuck a SAFETY PIN thru his nose!!" >:OO & stan is like AAHSHhimrsbroflovskiiamsosorrydonthurtmeaaa

also x2, when they get to sp, i think the og plan is to have them all stay in a hotel but something happens with that, so all the og sp college kids have to put up a non-sp res/celeb in their home and uh...

guess who jersey gets to keep as his crimson dawn virgin sacrifice ;)

but...more on that later! bc rn, we are talking about yersey ( you guys calling him yersey is so fkn funny ) driving WHICH UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LIFE DEATH OR OTHERWISE SHOULD KYLE BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE!!!! EVER!!!!! EEEEEVER!!!! he's TOO unhinged.

like he thinks that every driver on the road was put there to personally piss him off. and he knows all the rules n regs but the second you piss him off, you will be gripping the OH SHIT handle for dear LIFE!!!!! really, the only person who enjoys being in the car with jerseykyle...

...is ravenstan. <3

actually, during the beginning of the third part of the ravesey hate, s&k are headin ~somewhere~ in lady ( tHEYRE JUST DRIVING OKAY!! DONT BE NASTY!!! THERES ALSO NO ROOM SMH!! ) and kyle is ofc being Bat Shit Insane for most of the v short drive...so naturally stan as raven is like *mild character break* Wowza <3 skdhs like stanley??? kyle is abt to KiLL this old lady in front of u don't say aW? HELLLO

like if you Want to say aw!!!! during that same car ride, just like heaven by the cure comes on, ( it's jersey's favorite song and it's also what big gay al said stan's voice sounded like, to jog ur re(memory) ) the sound of it immediately chills kyle out, he sings along under his breath and stan is like "you changed the pronouns..." and kyle is like "yeah? so what?" abt to fight and stan just smiles like "so nothing."

" —i just didn't know you could sing, new jersey." ;)

aAAAaaaAaaAAaa

bonus hc: when stan fled the tegridy farms fire, he was in kyle's favorite shirt, which was a green oversized the cure band teeshirt <3

that is the last time that kyle drives that chapter btw ( thank god )

because stan takes over <3

ON CRIIIIIIIIIIIM ;)

which at first jersey is like ah hEEELLL NO I AM NAUGHT GETTING ON THAT DONOR CYCLE, CROW!!!! ( kyle calls motorcycles donorcycles bc theyre just fatal car crashes waiting to happen ) but they basically have no choice because lady gets surrounded by rabid fangirls and paparazzi and its hop on or get mobbed...so kyle hops on, stan puts him in the motorcycle helmet ( his hair Barely fits btw )

— and they drive off into the night <3

ALSO STAN IS A REAAAAAAALLLY GOOD DRIVER!!!! DRIFT KING!!! all his turns are really smooth, he asks you if you're okay a lot ( which, you are always more than okay because ravenstan smells like the delicious apple cinnamon glade spray and hes SO pretty ), you get to put ur hands around his waist which is a 11/10 experience also his hip tattoos give you a perfect guideline...and he breaks for squirrels! <3

i know kyle was swooning smh also crim's license plate says CRMSNDWN ON IT...she is stan's baby, he loves his motorcycle.

speaking of, i got a couple asks about handiman ravenstan doing tool shed boy things and he is actually, really skilled in like manual labor/carpenting/mechanic stuff just because randy was consistently drunk or high and never did work around the farm or...ever. so stan just kind of naturally fell into that man of the house role...AT LIKE 8? he is also just really interested in cars and tools and things. <333

SOMETIMES ON TIKTOK HE DOES LIVES OF HIM FIXING CRIM UP IN THE LIL TANK TOP ALL COVERED IN CAR GREASE IN THE STANDANA....WHEEEEEW!!!! hes also not even trying to be ;) like he is genuinely just nerding out about gears and valves and things and everyone is like wow thats crazy ur so smart raven we love u shdksh

ONE TIME I BET YOU KYLE WAS CREEPING ON THE USER2743740343 TIKTOK ACCOUNT AND RAVENSTAN WINKED AND SAID HOLA YERSEY ;) <3 AND THE COMMENTS FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES WERE LIKE KYLEKYLE KYLE HAHA GOT HIM!!! OTPOTP

all this to say...uh...kyle has never been in a car crash because cars move the hell out of his way because they either don't want to die or are scared of him. every cop that's ever tried to give him a ticket got gaslit into thinkin they made the whole thing up or were immediately enchanted by jersey's intense ( police ) siren beauty.

regardless!!!!! kyle should not...be driving ever.

which is why stan does it for him <3333

also yes it is super cool when you're abt to be super late for work & ur super cool ex-rockstar boyfriend drops you off in front of the elementary school on his motorcycle.

-uncle nina, who has no idea what i was trying to say but i hope u had fun lmao, i worked 11 hours so sorry

me, a mere hour ago: oh boy, i can't wait to watch season two of sweet home!

me, after watching s2e1 of sweet home:

[seithr]

Randomly remembered the half-reason i call my oc-verse by the name it has while laying in bed. One-half of the reason i still knew, but I had forgotten what had truly, really cemented it jointly until now

(it was a song from my favourite band I haven't listened to in a while.)

(the song fit so well at the time, still does, that i needed to hold onto it for the main protagonists forever, by partially naming their story in reference.)

Does this explanation make any sense? Does anyone know why I'm tearing up remembering this. Aahh

Love characterising nishikiyama as a booze hound drug hound meth addict high every day body mass 75% alcohol hands constantly shaking literally spacing out while driving fifty over the speed limit using elderly folk as speedbumps one hand on the wheel and one hand free to do more drugs and coming into work while functionally deaf and blind and he is still leagues more competent at his job than kiryu

About the shownu bread cheeks. Honestly I’m trying not to comment on people’s especially kpop idols appearance because we never know what people are going through…but seeing your man so chiselled in the face after him looking quite fuller and healthy before and during enlistment I 100% suspected it was for comeback purposes idk also I always think back of the comments about him being “too big” for the all the stage clothing and how some fans didn’t like his bigger frame as though the man isn’t a former an athlete and a dancer but…idk it’s all very sad.

Oh yeah definitely! I'd never bring this stuff up where I'd suspect the idol in question would see them! I remember a few times during vlives and monchannel before his enlistment he mentioned how mbb keep telling/asking him if he lost weight and he was frustrated with it and insisted that he hadn't. Like he clearly doesn't like these types of comments.

Its true that they all usually lose weight during cb/promotion eras but it seems quite drastic this time.... his cheeks are barely there when he smiles...
