OT3: casey stoner/his neuroses/the concept of valentino rossi that mostly exists in casey’s head

y'know I have this casey stoner... idk what it is. thematic mind map (literal), let's say, that I like fiddling with and adding things to when the mood hits me. and it does always strike me just how many of his struggles during his careers and issues with the sport can in some way be linked back to the valentino rivalry

casey's sense of isolation? super valentino related. casey's feelings of cultural alienation in a paddock dominated by europeans? even when it's not really related to valentino, casey is the one linking those two things together. casey's issues with other riders not being respectful enough on track? very obviously repeatedly about valentino. casey's discomfort with the performance and entertainment-related aspects of the sport? more valentino. casey feeling treated unfairly by the manufacturers, the media, the marshals, the fans.... keeps coming back to valentino. casey's mystery illness really shouldn't be as relevant to the rivalry as it is, but somehow through this combination of public discourse and whatever comparisons casey's brain is cooking up at any moment in time... there valentino is again

one of the most charming things about valentino's feuds is that in each and every single one, both participants end up being deeply weird about each other? just keep knocking off these banger quotes about the other where you read them and go. hm. what's going on there then. I don't want to make it sound like I think casey is the worst offender with this (not when marc and valentino have their whole thing going on, bidirectionally)... but I do think he's the most susceptible to conflating his valentino issues with like... everything else that was going on in his career. to the extent where his alienation with the sport as a whole, his extreme disillusionment from everything related to motogp, really cannot be meaningfully disentangled from the valentino rivalry. at times it feels like, to casey, valentino literally is the sport. and that's the thing casey dedicated his whole life to!! which means you do inevitably end up regularly going 'wow there's a lot to unpack'. add in a dash of neuroticism...

and yeah you're so right anon!! the neuroses are what end up creating the version of valentino that mostly exists in casey's head, a version that casey is just a touch obsessed with. I always think it's interesting how aware casey is that he doesn't know valentino as a person - and to the extent casey does know him, he gets on pretty well with him... but valentino the person isn't all that relevant to him. it's valentino the character who matters - and can you even really know a character? in the end, all casey can do is rely on his own understanding of that character, as imperfect as it is. and, well, in a way casey is trapped with that character forevermore. if one man comes to embody a sport to such an extent and if that sport has been your life's work, how can you not be a little bit trapped? as he tries to make his peace with the sport and his experiences within it, so too has casey settled on a narrative of valentino that helps him make sense of it all... a very specific understanding of his rival that casey has shaped in his mind and still trots out now when he sells his own version of events to the media. casey learned from valentino, casey learned to be a little more like valentino, casey learned to fight valentino with his own tools, casey tells himself a story of that fight. he still continues to do so - and in the end he will never be entirely free of valentino

[cerise-on-top]

Hi im.. a tad... late, (12 days exactly), But i was... wondering if i could request a platonic fic with Ghost and Gaz where they take reader to an arcade for their 18th bday? (You can probably guess who this is, Mr Cerise, Heh, Howdy howdy!)

Hey, Archi! Don't worry about requesting anything late, I don't mind in the slightest :] This got a little bit longer than I wanted it to be, I hope you don't mind that! I hope you can like it at least a little bit as well, I really tried! Have a nice day! @butchersflower And happy (belated) birthday again! :D

Happy Birthday!

“Well, look who it is. If it isn’t one of us fossils!”

Smiles all around, even with a statement as stupid as that one. And yet, as embarrassing as it may have been, you couldn’t help but be fond of those two fools. Dangerous as they were, they were among the best pals you could have ever found. Yes, an adult may sometimes spell danger to someone much younger than them, but those two goofballs had known you since you were ten years old. And after all this time, they were among the first to celebrate proper adulthood with you. As proper as being 18 could possibly be.

“Kyle, be mindful of what you say, Archi might feel old and his back might start hurting.” A sly grin, crossed arms, even familiar as you were to him, Simon still seemed closed off. But it ultimately didn’t matter, it was his idea to meet up near the old arcade after all. For as intimidating a man as he might have been to anyone, who didn’t know him all that well, you couldn’t say you feared that man. He was tall, muscular and had probably killed more people than you ever knew by now, but fear was the last thing on your mind as you rolled your eyes at him.

“Howdy. Good to see the both of you as well.”

“Come on now, show a little more enthusiasm. Today is a special day!” Kyle gave you a pat on your back. “Happy birthday! Welcome to adulthood!” There was a certain sweetness to him being so excited for you. He was usually so calm, even when put under pressure, it was almost astounding, but on that day, Kyle seemed almost more excited than you were. Not that it was a day unlike any other, but it was still nice to be appreciated a little bit for once.

“Happy birthday, kid! Let’s make this a nice day for you.” You would have never thought either of them cared this much for you. As they were still on deployment, fighting for their lives, they texted you about that day. As they were still on deployment, they remembered your birthday, wanting to spend it with you. As they were still on deployment, they realized you liked going to arcades, wanting to take you there to make the day a little more special. It was far sweeter than you expected two men, capable of killing people without a second thought, could be. Even as you tried to bite back a smile, even as you tried to seem nonchalant about all of this, it felt good to be spending time with someone, who cared this much about you.

“Well, you brought me to the arcade, didn’t you? Just as a heads up, I don’t have too much money with me, so we might not be able to make the most of it today.”

Kyle huffed in response, clearly amused. “Oh, yeah? You think we’re gonna let you use up your allowance for this? Pocket your wallet again, we’re paying for everything today. It’s a good use for our military money.” And with that, he took out his wallet, checking its contents. He seemed rather satisfied, knowing fully well that, if he did run out of money, Simon could always just pitch in. Besides, there was an ATM nearby anyway, so it’s not like he had to walk too far to get some either.

“You gonna let us wait out here all day or are you gonna go in? Lead the way, champ.” If you didn’t know any better, you would have thought that Simon was more excited to go to the arcade than you were. When had he even gone there for the last time? He was quite a bit older than you were, so it might have been quite a long time ago. Not that he had much time for games these days anyway. Either way, he hinted at the arcade doors with his head. For a sniper, he sure was an impatient one. But you supposed it was a rather hot August day, so it’s not like you didn’t understand where he was coming from. You agreed, opening the door and going inside. It was much cooler in there, the cold air hitting your face. Much more pleasant than that hot summer day outside, you would have preferred to spend all day there.

It was a rather dim room, illuminated by the small lights above, that barely lit up anything. But it was still rather chic. Very retro, very nice. It was hard to believe that something like this would do as well as it did these days, but the teens seemed to be in agreement that an arcade was a nice place to hang out in, with the adults giving into their nostalgia for the good old days. But aside from a few people, it seemed rather empty today. Perfect for playing some rounds. But what to play first? There was quite the selection there. From classic Mario Bros to Pac-Man, it was hard to decide on one game. You didn’t want to take advantage of Kyle’s and Simon’s monetary situation either. However, there was nothing wrong with going for one of the classics first: Tetris.

For as eerily quiet as it was at first, there was something undeniably nice about that song starting to play. By no means had you been alive for long enough to be able to be nostalgic for it, but it was nice to hear such an old melody, one that has been famous throughout generations, in all its chiptune glory. If you had to take a guess, then you would have said that you were doing quite well as you played. With unwavering concentration, you stacked those blocks. With unfaltering determination, you decided on your next move, hoping it would result in another level. But no matter how much you tried to keep your cool, you were bound to lose eventually as the blocks fell at a velocity you could no longer keep up with. As you looked at the high scores of previous players, you were somewhat baffled. How could anyone score this high? You were likely never going to make it into the top five, but it didn’t bother you as much. Playing Tetris at the old arcade was time well spent. You considered whether or not you should play another round.

“You know, back in my day, I used to score pretty high on Tetris. Could always give you a tip or two, if you’d like.” Ah, cheeky Kyle, always so confident in himself. At least he seemed to have been having fun alongside you.

“You’re more than welcome to beat my score. I’d love to see it.”

“Alright, I’ll come get you once I lost. You can find Simon at the Mortal Kombat machine over there. Play a few rounds with him, will ya? But do watch out, he gets a little vicious once he’s played a few rounds.” It’s not that you were unfamiliar with playing video games with Simon, but unfortunately, Kyle was right. If you wanted a chance at beating Simon, then you had better hurry over to him while he was still unfamiliar with the controls. Once he had figured those out, you were never going to win against him. Besides, it seemed as though Kyle was busy now anyway, proud as a peacock, flaunting his skill at Tetris. You were happy he was enjoying himself this much, though.

Looking around, you definitely found another few machines that caught your eye. Mainly Contra and Galaga, but you were definitely eyeing Space Invaders as well. But for now, you had a mission. Not a hard one as Simon was just across the room, thinking. He wasn’t really moving, just looking at the machine more so than anything else.

“Howdy, Simon. You wanna play a little bit? I think it’s a two player game.”

“Gladly.” And with that, he immediately put in a coin, waiting for you to join him. Although he wasn’t bad, it was evident he wasn’t sure of what he was doing at first either, pressing buttons at random to figure out what they were doing. Yes, he may have gotten a few hits in at first, but he was fairly far from beating you. Yet, it didn’t take long for him to figure everything out, giving you a harder fight for your well earned victory each time. At first, there was no rhyme or reason to what he was doing, but soon enough he was just like a viper. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike, injecting his venom into you. Indeed, he was playing nice at first, but his hunger for victory grew more and more into a certain type of greed. You were an adult, you were his equal, you were not to be underestimated. But it felt kind of unfair anyway to watch him use his special moves, without you actually knowing the button combinations for any. After your ninth match, there was no beating him anymore and losing every match didn’t seem like much fun either.

“It’s so unfair how quickly you figure everything out. But I’m glad you seem to be having fun.”

Much like Kyle, he seemed proud of himself, even if he did try to hold himself back. That amused glint in his eyes did not go unnoticed by you. “We can always play something else. Find something new that you can beat me in, I don’t mind. I want this to be a fun day for you first and foremost.”

“I wanna check on Kyle, see how he’s doing.”

“Where is he anyway?”

“He’s playing Tetris, saying that he used to be really good at the game when he was younger. It kind of got me curious to see how good he really was back then.”

“He’s an intelligent man who can keep his calm, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a fairly high score.”

“Do you wanna try to beat him too?”

“No, I don’t think I can.” Huh, even Simon knew his limits, it seemed.

Watching Kyle from afar, you weren’t sure he even noticed the both of you as you got closer to him, too engrossed in his little block stacking game. The blocks were unbelievably fast by then, with half the screen being covered in them already. Two other men gathered around him, watching in awe as he never faltered. It was quite the spectacle, it seemed. Looking over his shoulder, you saw that his score was roughly 795.000. Well, you felt accomplished enough with your 56.000. Truly, there was no denying that he was good at Tetris, he had every right to boast about that. Especially since his score just kept going up and up. You knew that Kyle was a very capable man, he was a sergeant in the SAS after all, you just didn’t know that this also extended to arcade games. He didn’t curse, he didn’t flinch, his eyebrows didn’t even furrow as the blocks got closer to the upper part of the screen. A few times, he was able to lessen them, but in the end, even he lost. It wasn’t a game meant to be won.

897.000. It was fair to say that he was pretty good at the game. But he still didn’t make it into the top five.

“Oh, you’re really good at Tetris, you weren’t lying.” You almost didn’t want to believe that score, but you weren’t exactly sure it was possible to cheat at an arcade game either. Especially not Tetris.

“I’ve played a little more than you have in my life. I was young at one point too, you know.” Wasn’t he 31? He wasn’t that old yet either. Well, if you asked him to, he probably could give you some good tips on how to score a little higher in the game. You almost couldn’t tear your eyes from that score. The other two men congratulated Kyle before leaving him alone again. “Nothing wrong with admiring that work of art, but I used to score higher than that when I was younger.” Show off. But you still felt inclined to believe him.

“Kid, when do you want to grab a bite? Wouldn’t want to let you starve in here either.” You took out your phone to look at the time. For some reason, the time being 13:43 was less believable than Kyle’s score. You hadn’t even noticed that it was that late already. Well, some food definitely wouldn’t hurt. Wouldn’t want those two men to get grouchy.

“Yeah, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to get something to eat. I don’t think I’d want to miss out on Kyle’s gaming prowess, after all.” You put your phone back in your pocket. Unfortunately, this was likely the time where you had to decide on what to eat. You didn’t really mind anything, in fact, you were okay with most things. But if you had to choose… “Well, Wilson’s is open right now. I could go for a really good burger right now. Besides, a chocolate pie would be pretty good as well, not gonna lie. I hope that’s not too expensive for you guys.”

“Archi, I don’t think you understand that we earn enough money to buy you whatever you want today. If you were 21 we could take you to a damn casino as well and it wouldn’t hurt us too much to lose a few hundred bucks. Just tell us what you want, we’ll get it for you. Unless it’s an expensive car, we can get you just about anything. Buying you a burger or two won’t set us back. Order whatever you want at Wilson’s, it’s on us. We mean it.” Considerate as always, even when he was preaching to you, Kyle was just being kind. You were so glad to have him and Simon as your friends.

“Come on, get in the car. Tell us where that restaurant is and we’ll take you there. Wouldn’t want you to starve on us, after all.” Even Simon was being more stern than usual right now. Maybe you really shouldn’t mention money around those two, as conscious as you were about costing them too much. Then again, you really didn’t know how much they earned. As curious as you were, you weren’t sure you should be asking the two of them about that. ‘It’s enough to feed you and have you have a nice day today.’ Right.

Well, not like you were complaining. It was about time you got a nice burger. And maybe you could go back to the arcade later as well? You haven’t gotten to play as much yet as you would have liked. Surely, Simon and Kyle were open to the suggestion, it did seem as though the two of them had fun as well. Besides, there was a chance you weren’t going to be able to spend as much time with them anymore in the near future, so you had to make what little time you did have with them count. How nice it was to have the two of them care about you, even if you had no idea yet how to repay them. Knowing them, you likely didn’t have to either, but that just wasn’t your style, no. If anything, because it was your birthday, you should have gotten the two of them something as well.

Those are maybe not epic, but I think those are nice moments and maybe you will want to draw it :3

I think these screenshots are great actually I had a lot of fun collaging together a lot of the elements! Thank you!!

[floridagirlboy]

i think if army ever figured out national guard was crushing on maryland he'd tease him SO FUCKING HARD but like. try to wingman. but be fucking abysmal at it because he's him. and also he's still very much embarrassing him on purpose because it is his duty as the bigger sibling. nat feels so embarrassed but maryland finds it kind of cute how army is so obviously trying.

army: did you know my brother once saved puppies from a burning building

nat: [shoots him a glare]

army, getting the wrong message: the burning building was an orphanage btw

nat: [elbows him and is desperately trying to shut him up without making a scene]

army: the president gave him five medals for it. they had to make up a new one just for him

maryland, very amused: oh? is that true?

nat: [yanking army down to his level and covering his mouth before he can make it worse] sorry he hit his head really hard before he came out here i don't know what he's talking about

army, muffled: he's really humble

and then they start fighting and maryland just watches on with a grin and shakes his head

Alright, here's everyone who got necklaces today! Individual pics:

Also special shout-out to Cabbage, my small bulbasaur plush. His firm bulb was perfect to use for stretching out and shaping the string for each necklace to make them more elastic and more natural fitting

I just cannot express the way season 7 is already making me feel on the Buddie front like if we’re gonna end up getting heavily baited (which I don’t think so because ABC is known for following through on queer relationships not to mention Ryan’s revenge for being thrown in PR jail) I’m going to be genuinely DEVASTATED

[paopaupaus]

Part 9 of the Buddie Development

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9 | part 10

booooo!!! too little interactions this season

S5:E1 Panic

the episode title says it, but i can’t get over Eddie having a hetero panic 😂😂 someone refered to Anna as Chris’ mom and Eddie passed out 😃👍 I feel like a still don’t understand it in it’s fullest but part of it i believe is the pressure he feels from his culture to look for a new partner that is going to be forever. Or how he didn’t feel a deep connection with Anna and he’s regretting introducing her to Christopher’s life since that is what makes it extra serious.

Buck and Eddie sort of discuss his panic attack but Eddie doesn’t want to talk about it :/

S5:E2 Desperate times

Eddie is so weird about his relationship with Anna. he just looks like he’s at camp and desperetly wants to call his mom to pick him up.

S5:E6 Brawl in Cell Block 911

it’s redundant but Buck will always run like hell when he sees Eddie in danger, like when he heard the gunshot outside the hospital and tjought Eddie had been shot, he didn’t care that the prisioner was still armed, he needed to see him.

S5:E13 Fear-o-phobia

Eddie is really struggling with the PTSD and after hearing that all of his team from the army have died he spirals, really scaring Christopher. So Chris calls Buck to help Eddie calm down. And he does, Eddie opens up about everything.

S5:E14 Dumb Luck

Buck gets Christopher a slot to do equine therapy and also takes Eddie to visit Charlie, a boy that he saved the day he got shot. He’s just always looking out for them and it feels like such a partner and co-parent thing.

that was practically it for season 5, i don’t know if i missed some things but i feel like it was less interaction than any other season ☹️ granted we had a lot of backstories of other characters and this was just mainly about building their friendship and not so much about altering the dynamic, if you noticed other things or know more about Eddie and Anna’s relationship i would love to hear it!

[amazingdeadfish]

i don't know a single shit about Kirby but your AU is taking over My head

Well.

If you don't mind, allow me to introduce to you a small segment of Kirby Lore that is vital to the Shadowpuppet Kirby AU. Even if you aren't interested in reading all of this, this still serves as a nice record for myself anyways, haha.

The Foundations:

The AU's core foundations are based off of three mainline games. 'Kirby and the Amazing Mirror', 'Kirby: Squeak Squad/Mouse Attack', and 'Kirby: Triple Deluxe'.

For the most part, there are three characters that are important to the AU from these three games. Daroach (Kirby: Squeak Squad/Mouse Attack), as well as Taranza and Queen Sectonia from (Kirby: Triple Deluxe). For the most part, the lore you need to understand focuses around Taranza and Queen Sectonia.

The Kirby Lore - Squeak Squad/Mouse Attack

So like, Daroach's lore isn't exactly important to this AU? He's basically a magician who is also a thief. He has a squad of mice who help him with his crimes and, that's pretty much it. In the game itself he served as an antagonist (and then got possessed by an otherworldly evil power) and in another game (Kirby: Mass Attack) he sort of acts as a helper to Kirby. Seemingly, 'a good guy now'. Still a thief though. Which, is kind of similar to a certain dramatic and edgy monkey character from LMK.

The Kirby Lore - Triple Deluxe:

Through various sources and pause screen menus, in Triple Deluxe we learn the story of Queen Sectonia and Taranza. Once upon a time, Sectonia was a relatively good queen of Florida (a kingdom in the sky above Dreamland, sharing the same planet 'Popstar'). Taranza is one of her servants as well as a good friend.

One day, he gives her the Dimensional Mirror. Basically, a portal to the Mirror World, which is unfortunately corrupted (all of this is lore relating to Kirby and the Amazing Mirror). The corrupted mirror, surprise surprise, ends up corrupting the Queen and making her an evil dictator (yes, evil dictators are canon, and so is colonisation in the Kirby Universe. It's brutal). This brings us to the actual events of Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Basically, what happens is that the citizens of Florida use a magic beanstalk to 'summon the hero from Dreamland' in order to save themselves from Queen Sectonia's tyrannical rule. Knowing this, Taranza goes down to Dreamland and ends up getting the wrong guy- King Dedede (which may or may not be important if you care about how this links to the AU I've made). Now of course, our hero Kirby goes up the beam stalk (it's called the dream stalk) to save the kingdom and the king. Anyways, stuff happens, Kirby has to fight Taranza (who uses King Dedede as a puppet), and then Kirby defeats Taranza and goes to fight Queen Sectonia.

And it's at this point Taranza realises "Holy crap, the Queen is literally evil and not the same person I once served", and so near the end of the fight, he helps Kirby defeat her by giving him the Miracle Seed. The seed itself isn't important here, it's the fact that Taranza realises he was serving the wrong person and chooses to help Kirby.

So. Queen Sectonia dies. And the kingdom is saved.

The AU Itself

So, the Shadowpuppet X Kirby AU is basically, LMK characters filling the roles of Kirby characters inside the Kirby universe. Macaque takes the role of Daroach (I am also considering making him also mix with Meta Knight as a sort of hybrid crossover character? Filling two roles at once?), the Mayor is Taranza, and Lady Bone Demon is Queen Sectonia (it would also be fun to mention that MK would be Kirby, and Sun Wukong is- you guessed it, King Dedede).

So basically, now that you know the Kirby lore, you basically know how this AU is going to go down. Fill in the blanks yourselves if need be.

I would like to mention that Macaque getting the Dimensional Mirror for Mayor to give to LBD is NOT RELATED TO THE KIRBY GAMES WHATSOEVER. I don't think they ever made any confirmation that Daroach even knows Taranza or the Queen? So that bit is completely made up on my end, to provide context as to how Mayor could have possibly gotten the mirror and how the two even know each other in the first place (for, you know, Shadowpuppet content).

If you are still here, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk :D.

buddie x the cat distribution system PLEASE them being cat owners is so special to me

sooo this was one of the first fish I started for buddie months and months ago and I wrote the first chapter and then just......totally abandoned it. but basicallyyyy buck finds a kitten on a call and can't keep it bc his apartment doesn't allow pets so he talks Eddie into taking her until they find her a home (spoiler alert. shes already in it). and then Eddie gets to experience the emotional healing powers of nursing a baby cat back to health

[liyazaki]

there I was: minding my business, procrastinating work & browsing book nook YT- people. are you seeing what I’m seeing?
