#im connecting the dots BUT WHAT AM I CONNECTING???

[dannielricciardo]

what dots are we connecting

👀

so like. i am fully delulu but

the enchante drop has the "Our Fresh Fruit Never Left" tshirt which i thought was "danny ric is for the girlies hihihi" type of joke but i mean WE ALL KNOW WHERE IT'S FROM RIGHT

the gambling ad starts with something like "retirement aint all that"

he appears to still be keeping up his neck training, key word appears. but for the sake of the narrative™️ let's pretend he is still keeping up his neck training. he also appears to be keeping up with his diet

today we get a tweet there's MASSIVE news about him and his career

he randomly comes back to ig rebranded

changes his pfp on ig today

he posts a post with the caption "lost&found" like i guess he was i dont know lost after he left the sport and now has found himself

the song on his story is jack's mannequin's im ready

but he put his monaco apartment up for rent apparently so this could also mean absolutely nothing. the ad will have been written by the marketing team of the company. the neck could just be him keeping in shape and losing his fitness level slower than others. the story where he is eating a healthy meal and just stealing a bite could just be that he didnt feel like getting a full sweet breakfast. the song im ready is actually about getting ready to let go of a relationship. but lowkey APOLOGIES BUT IS THERE A BETTER LINE TO DESCRIBE HIS CAREER THAN "I am aware, I've been misled; I disconnect my heart, my head - don't wanna recognize when things go bad || I grip the wheel and all at once I realize: My life has become a boring pop song and everyone's singing along" im going insane.

also do not forget about the fact that the last beats add had new york city by current joys which has such depressing lyrics that one might idk easily connect it to his relationship with red bull and now this has a lot more moving on vibes but what do i know I KNOW NOTHING

thanks to lemuen complaining about aulus not shutting the fuck up, I think we can safely conclude he was in fact the guy thorns was fighting in leonhardt's kin memories

this still doesn't explain why leonhardt has thorns kin memories but I don't think that one is ever being explained

[sforzesco]

decimus wanted to wind cassius up a bit just to see how he would snap

uhhh. what else. you know!! caesar was collecting (and discarding) a new generation of romans, operating a new kind of roman imperium. political manipulation. "good" governance. conspiracies are forming in reply.

the collage art is all public domain/open access stuff from the met collections!

i just got reminded of when lewis went on italy's hit late-night show Che Tempo Che Fa hosted by fabio fazio and played adele's "someone like you" on the piano in december 2017.

make of that what you will.

(you can watch it here but it's worth mentioning that people dressed as mechanics brought out the piano with pitstop sounds 😭😭 peak cringe momento italiano ma ci amo per questo)

I'm typing out some hella crazy long kaeya lore thing right now (im not even halfway done and i kinda fell asleep on it coz I was tired), but it led me to review older Kaeya lore things, and then i got hit with the "oh, another one for the kaeya thinking/talking about fate thing. wow" in a surprising location (well, not too surprising considering Fate lives rent free in Kaeya's head)

its in the full description of Kaeya's Sailwind Shadow skin.

" Different people live in different ways. A thief will not bear the blade of a knight, and a traditional knight will not sneak out a hidden dagger to hurt someone.

If the characters in the story don't abide by such rules, then the story has betrayed the roles dictated by fate."

That's...interesting. What are you trying to say, Kaeya? Do you actually dare challenge your role in this story?... Isn't he already betraying both of his roles?

But yeah, it's the same old idea about Kaeya's dilemma. He keeps mentioning that he wants to go against fate, but he also feels hopeless because how could he challenge something inevitable? I'm actually more impressed by the fact that he can't stop thinking about it...

...It's as if he is still ACTIVELY thinking about what to do for when fate finally catches up with him...

Well, Mona did say he has a huge decision to make...

I honestly want to do a deepdive on the skin's full description. There are so many keypoints in it that really delighted me when I read them again (not so delightful for Kaeya who was being all melancholic over a kid asking a single question, but very delightful for me- a Kaeyangst and Kaelore enjoyer)

see i dont think we question that invincible united check enough. the fact it wasnt even FOR jomo already caught me off guard… which makes me think is it hush money??? but if that was the case, what did shakes’ mom have to hide?? does she KNOW something bc i have a strange feeling that the money wasnt even for jomo’s disappearance but for smth else ENTIRELY…

bc think about it…

i was watching “mountain goat” and nandi mentioned that she bought the ticket using the check right?? RIGHT

but remember… she also mentioned that the check was SO old the bank had to contact invincible united for its legitimacy and approval. so did they contact vince??

bc if they DID, wouldnt vince find it strange that the check hasnt been liquidated all these years. like why now?

unless they contacted someone else, someone with a higher title than vince

am i insinuating that coach and jomo’s fallout was so bad that he had to press restart on his life, semi faked his death/disappearance, and worked with invincible united? MAYBE!! but thats just a theory

and another thing about that episode. sigrun (the tour guide) mentioned that jomo was a “changed man” after he came down that mountain. like… HOW??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT???

there’s no way they’re gonna leave us hanging like this. there’s way too many plotholes… AND I NEED TO KNOW EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENED PLEASE

I keep speaking overly harshly at work on accident. and I'm not even doing it out of anger just like impatience? it takes extra time and effort for me to modulate my tone so when I'm overwhelmed I just don't. but I work with kids and many of them are highly attuned to changes in tone from trauma

so like. what do I do besides just be more careful and try not to do it? I've talked to some of them about it a few times, but every time I do it they still seem taken back. I know it sounds like I'm snapping at them, and sometimes I don't have time to make sure they know that wasn't my intention

[asterdeer]

sam winchester and jon sims. smth about being a groomed+prepared vessel for evil beings since childhood/infancy. smth about growing up with no agency except what you can scrape together with nothing but your own smarts and instincts. smth about that agency never really mattering anyway because the forces that want to use you are too strong to fight against, not when they've had you for so long. smth about never having a choice about the monstrousness that has been forced on you but everyone hates you for it anyway, wants to hurt or kill you for it, even the people who are supposed to be on your side, the ones who would rather you die in human agony than live in a way they can't or won't understand. smth about grasping at your own monstrousness as the only source of power in an incomprehensible world that has literally been rigged against you from the start. smth about doing everything you can to use that monstrousness, all the pain and helplessness you've suffered, to help other people, and it's never enough. it has to be enough but it is never enough. smth about how no one you love will ever look at you with complete trust and faith ever again because you've been tainted for good, and finally you end up agreeing with them, that the best and only right outcome is your death.

anyone else realizing that Punishment and Forced Suffering does not Work for u? like anything where i just have to Grin and Bear it and Suffer (bc that's what "normal" ppl do) just ends up Not Happening. I don't do the Habit. i dont do the Task. ive spent my entire life Grinning and Bearing It and it just doesn't work anymore.

Do you guys know how insane it is that Rody is biphobic and bi just casually in this story. Like imagine if there was less cannibalism (boo) and the whole game was just Rody fighting his bisexual demons.

(actually he probably kinda lowkey was with how much his mind strays back to Manon when speaking to Vincent, though he's also perhaps that down bad. But still, you know how people will subconsciously play up their opposite gender attraction when trying to fight the same sex attraction thoughts)

[nexus-nebulae]

suddenly realising that a decent amount of our system's dysfunctions might be due to OCD 😭😭😭

im so fr i don’t think anyone in the world cares about jarry as much as i do. maybe emerald fennell but thats IT.

[vialae]

The more i read these fake evil experiments and have to fill in the gaps myself, the more it really drives home just how fucked up just all of it is.

Like ofc i already knew, but it’s another thing to really read and consider it all in a step-by-step basis
