La scuderia Ro racing tra rally e slalom nel fine settimana corsaiolo
🔴 🔴 La scuderia Ro racing tra rally e slalom nel fine settimana corsaiolo
E’ già iniziato il fine settimana agonistico per la scuderia RO racing. In Toscana, al Rally internazionale del Brunello si sono già corse le prime tre prove speciali che vedono la Peugeot 208 Rally4, portata in gara da Nicola Cazzaro e Sergio Raccuia, attualmente piazzata al quinto posto di categoria. Per il driver veneto si tratta di una nuova esperienza sulle strade bianche, ancora per lui…

Props to the athletes for being able to keep their heads clear in these conditions but if I devoted my life to a sport, made it to the biggest competition ever alongside thousands of other people and then heard an 80k crowd cheer for a single French guy, I'd become sooooo bitter. Defeating France wouldn't be enough, I'd need to see someone in the audience fall to the ground in tears.

Remic Keeneye, aka the Krait Killer
--
Here's a character I've had for a while but hadn't made her ingame until fairly recently once I've got an outfit idea that worked for me.
This is my Tengu adjacent who was once a guard/escort of a merchant caravan that was like family to her. She lost her caravan mates to Krait in Caledon and so she kills them on sight. And she was very efficient in killing the snakes (which is fun cus she's based off my fav bird, the secretary bird).
She was befriended by Aurenthir and Ceara during the podtwins' sapling days. She would eventually join the Pact on the campaign to fight Zhaitan, then head out to fight Mordremoth. She'd be reunited with Aurenthir and continue her journey with him and Malyck later on.

how would the ros react to MC with a hickey (but not a hickey) ?
Oh, no. 👀
Lane: They'd definitely feel that pull in their heart that makes them wonder if it's from a partner or a wild night out. They wouldn't like either, but they'd ask or at least attempt to ask in a nonchalant way, "So who marked you?" They aren't afraid to ask or make an attempt at conversation about it. They'd wanna make sure MC is available before getting involved further.
Phoenix: Would definitely be shocked and probably create a distance between the two of you. Phoenix isn't a fan of love triangles or ruining a happy home, so they'd automatically friendzone you. They don't like drama so in order to be free from it, they'd let you do your own thing. Sort of like Lane, except Phoenix doesn't ask about it. They'll just assume whereas Lane is as straightforward as they come.
Riley: They'd look like a lost puppy all day, probably staring at your neck every once in a while even though they'd try their hardest not to. It would be a tough pill to swallow but something they expect anyways. Would eventually joke about it of course to find out what they can.
Ryder: Oh, Ryder would be sooo confused. Would try to tease to find out as much as they can before eventually admitting they're bothered and ask why MC didn't call them. Poor Ryder wouldn't know what hit them, honestly. 😅

Women at Warp Podcast: Episode 242 - Bajor as Allegory
This was a wonderful, nuanced discussion of how Bajor is used in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine to comment on contemporary and historical peoples' experiences of colonisation, genocide, and occupation.
The crew is joined by guest David Seitz as we begin unpacking all of the many allegories of Bajor that reflect real world atrocities. CW: genocide, military sexual servitude, extreme sexual violence, forced labor, political starvation.

i’m in purgatory and by that i mean i am experiencing grief for the life i left behind and terror for the life i’m about to live and by that i mean this summer has been so transformative for me the idea of going back to who i used to be before is abhorrent to me and by that i mean i have cut off people who have kept me tethered to that regressive state of being and by that i mean i am no longer talking to any of my dear friends (middle school, high school, etc) anymore because i felt too trapped by their rigid, unrealistic expectations of me, it had gotten so unbearable that progress began to seem impossible to me and by that i mean i am feeling a loneliness so acute i begin to regret everything and consider looking back but i am doing my best to keep my eyes forward and by that i mean i am never going to be the person i was the last 3 years of my life and by that i mean better or for worse i want to feel at home in my body for once and i want to make the world a liveable place for myself and by that i mean i am grieving myself and all the time i wasted trying to build up the courage to do something and by that i mean i am trying so hard but i am learning to make peace with being tired and by that i mean i have made progress and i am going to put effort into being proud of myself. yeesh

Ro rant
I see people get mad at this a lot and it's really grinding my gears lately
Rando: " you are [race] why do you have an OC of a different race?"
Me:
For people who want to argue culture appropriation. That only works when the person is involving the OC in their respective culture, and has incorrect/harmful beliefs, also culture isn't locked by race,
Also there are people exist who are that race and aren't really in tune with their culture ( by personal or familial reasons)

i usually don't send asks and i would send this off anon, but im scared of getting hate on this, since ive seen quite a lot of discriminatory behaviour in if fandom spaces when it comes to poc opinions so imma just stay anonymous if that's ok with u.
i came across a post you posted a while ago regarding the if ROs and the lack of diverse characters when it comes to darker skin characters and i just wanted to say thank u for making that post. i hope it gives writers and the fandom some food for thought. ive been noticing ever since i got into the if community that black/ros of black descent tend to almost always be the less popular ros and as a mixed black person myself it's really sad to see. you also mentioned the lack of darker skinned east Asians/south East Asians if i recall correctly (if not please feel free to correct me) and I honestly couldn't agree not. ive noticed in some ifs that the characters of color that are the most popular tend to be those of east Asian descent with paler skin or poc ROs who's ethnicity is left ambigious by the author and whilst I'm really happy that there's been more progress made in terms of diversity, i would love to see more black characters who aren't sidelined to the best friend stereotype and more poc characters who's ethnicity is made clearer.
some south east Asian friends of mine who are of Hmong-Thai and Agta-Filipino descent have also mentioned they would would love to see more South East Asian ROs as well as East Asian ROs who are darker skinned, because the majority of the rep that there seems to be for Asian characters are those with paler skin. its a similar feeling for Latinx ROs, i almost always see lighter skinned Latinx ROs being represented in the majority with a lack of darker skinned Latinx ros. I'm not forcing anyone to add diversity to their game ofc, but the ratio of poc ROs to white ros on some games have made me kind of sad to see, specially when there's like 4 or 5 white ros and then 2 ros of colors who seem like they were just kind of tacked on for representation points, but their backgrounds are left ambigious and no Nationality or ethnicity is ever mentioned by the author which kind of leaves me scratching my head ngl. there's also a prominent lack of SEA and SA rep in terms of ROs, so I'm always happy when I see one! I would also love to see more biracial characters who aren't half white, since we aren't all a monolith.
regarding black ros. in my time in the community whilst ive seen an increase in the amount of black ROs, seeing them always be the least popular in polls still makes me quite sad. i hope that fandom can become more open minded and give more black ROs a chance. on the other hand I've seen a lot of greatly written black ROs in comparison to back in the day, and I'm glad people are incorporating more ROs based on their culture which is great!
sorry about this essay, but i hope it doesn't come across as rude or offensive, it's just something that has been on my mind ever since ive seen your post regarding the lack of representation in if. English isn't my first language so I hope I expressed myself alright.
negl, when i the way you started and then the length of this post, i foreal thought it was gonna be a fight. so, it was a relief that isnt the case. i honestly don't think there's anything for me to add, because you said my feelings and all i could do is nod along as i read this.
though, i'm glad that my post struck a chord for you. (is that the thing to say?? i'm not even sure. i guess my purpose for that post was pointing out the ignored part and bringing on encouragement as well. so, while i'm glad it encouraged you to share your opinion and made you feel less alone in feeling uncomfortable with what you were seeing -- it sucks that things haven't changed to a point where you can feel comfortable saying your thoughts off anon without being harassed. like yikes [not at you, but at fandom]. roflmao. like this is 2023. we really STILL at a point where we're going to make people feel bad about having a GENERAL issue with the racism and colorism that if writers & the if fandom continue to show? rather than … idk continue to DO something about it.)
i would love to see more black characters who aren't sidelined to the best friend stereotype and more poc characters who's ethnicity is made clearer.
i have actually seen some improvement, too. either from the fandom directly zeroing in and supporting black characters (i know the polls can seem disheartening - and i had a feeling that's what drew you to my inbox - but there HAVE been moments where the black character would be the most favored ro -- buuuuuut .... sadly, it is still so rare that i continue to be surprised when it occurs) or in the if writers boosting black characters because they have an awareness regarding fandom's bias. i definitely do think we need more of the latter, tho.
i still think there is a very long way to go. extremely. like i think in general, despite the imporvements we have both observed, a lot of the newer games i've seen ratio is still low like you said. it's a mix instead of being - at least from my observation - as consistently majorly white like it used to be. now i'd say the ratio is aybe 3 (white characters) to 2 (characters of color, of different races) ... as opposed to 3:1. Whoo. BUT i've seen what you mentioned too, still -- too many games are still so white. And if they're not, they're more often than not theyll be light skinned East Asian or black (or mixed... with white). Or an ambigous Latino that I can't tell if they're a white Latine or meant to be a character of color. So, yeah ... i don't know what it is. a fear of writing characters of color, not finding characters of color romanceable, or just a lack of awareness.
Like I guess I agree with you (lmao), I don't want to "pressure" people to have diversity either --- mostly because the people who get hurt in cases like that are minorities reading the story. My desire, I suppose, is a want to understand. I know a lot of IF writers have the idea that 'my story is for me', and in a sense, I agree -- I think we shouldn't expect writers to bend every bit of story to the fans (not even an interactive story). I've seen the mess that can create. However, if you wanted it to be JUST your story, you would've left it in your journal. You want engagement and participation -- you want to share, and I believe most stories should be shared. So, why as an artis wouldn't you want to make a story where .... I don't know. I'm tired. I've kind of gotten to a point where I'm just like whatever. I'm disappointed in myself for expecting better from IF writers and the IF fandom.
BUT I am glad that you and your friends are not only discussing but EXPECTING better, because you deserve it. Because your friends deserve to see and engage with characters who are SEA (of all shades, but especially of darker skinned). You deserve to see mixed raced characters who aren't half white (or light skinned), because as stated yall arent a monolith -- that isn't all there is in the world. (And it's WEIRD to me, like WHY do we AUTOMATICALLY assume mixed/biracial = partially white? I mean I KNOW why but COME ON! lol.)
*sighs*
i WILL say though, again, it's not all bleak: and i have seen variation of the TYPE of characters of color -- like it isn't always the cold e. asian or the black emotional pack mule best friend. so that's good. and i hope that continues.
and you're fine, dove. i actually appreciate your ask because like i said i was feeling kinda ho-hum about things but this sorta sparked a fire in me, roflmao. you expresse yourself just fine, and honestly despite the essay i wrote back i really didnt have anything worth adding.
