… and so it continues.

The way that Williams Racing has nearly completely lost the lovable underdog reputation they have carefully cultivated over the last few seasons in record time needs to be studied.

i learned that a company in Japan gives employees who don't smoke six extra days vacation to make up for cigarette break. The company found new policy gave a lot of employees the push to quit smoking (x)

For the Laicion nation (aka, me and three other people)

I had this illustration commissioned (a big thank you to @lunehowls) for my werewolf AU Laicion fic (still a WIP).

The general pitch is as follows :

AU in which Laios never got to meet his sister again, putting his life on a whole other path, a more desperate one. A military deserter with barely a coin to his name, Laios hitches a ride on a boat to one of the elven continents, where he learns about magical tattoos that binds one’s soul to a wolf’s, effectively making them artificial werewolves. Illegal magic be damned, this feels like the answer to… everything.

In the process, he learns about the existence of an illegal fighting ring in one of the elven cities, where beastmen gladiators gather. Freshly tattooed and without anywhere else to go to, Laios decides to head there, where he meets Lycion, an elf and artificial werewolf gladiator. If they first bond over a simple shared meal, by spending time together (sharing the same room in the barracks, maybe the same bed? gasp) they find that they have a lot in common, notably a shared distaste for the body they were born in, a dysphoria partially remedied by becoming a werewolf.

They bond :)

Banned hiragana from Japanese license plates and why

Most Japanese license plates have a hiragana on them, but some are banned

(edit)

お (o) - looks similar to あ (a)

を(wo) - pronounced the same way as お(o)

し(shi) - the character for death (死) is also pronounced shi

へ(he) - there is another character pronounced the same way (屁) and it means fart

+ へ can sometimes be read as え(e)

ん (n) - cause it is hard to pronounce on its own

They have an indomitable spirit and nothing, neither pain nor torture nor threat of death, will cause them to give up.

i learned that Momofuku Ando, the inventor of insta ramen believed his noodles could cure world hunger. Over the decades he would shout quotes to his employees which includes, "Mankind is noodlekind", "What are you doing now?", and "Peace will come when people have food" which are in the employee handbook (x)

Hello! For the promt could you do Dimple trying to make Reigen laugh?

ok so a tiny bit of context, at one point I drafted up a big ekurei fanfic and was including some random scenes of them just spending time together and having fun. Which is why they're at the grocery store here, y'know, domestic. I also was thinking about how in the anime I never really see Reigen cracking jokes or laughing at jokes... and then somehow I got to the point where I think Reigen has the same sense of humour as Jerma

Here's the clip im referencing, please go watch it: clip link
