Ride 776: “Three seconds”
Pag 1
1: You don't follow the common sense of road racing
That's why
2: we caught up to you using the “common sense of road racing”!!
Pag 2
1: …. yon
2: There's 500m left until the sprint line!!
3: So what are you gonna do, Mountain bike guy!!
4: Sohoku and Hakogaku cooperated and caught the guy who had jumped ahead!!
Pag 3
1: It's starting again!! The three-ways battle!!
Amazing!
So exciting!!
They're continuing to move forward in that formation!!
Goo, Sohokuu!!
Kanagawaa!!
Pag 4
1: 400m left!!
2: The tension is shooting up!!
400m!!
The atmosphere is charged between the three of them!!
Pag 5
1: What an incredible speed!!
2: Ahead of here!!
3: According to the course map
4: There's the last curve
5: before the sprint line!!
6: A curve...!!
Pag 6
1: Is this guy next to me going to attack?
2: He's not coming?
Does he really not have any other trick?
3: Sharpen your senses!!
Don't be careless
4: Before the sprint line
5: A mistake in judgment for just a split instant it's fatal!!
Pag 7

The cells of my body are feeling something strange
Pag 14
1: Is there something...? That I'm missing!?
2: That's right
Pag 15
1: This is how you always stop your leg in curves
2: if you turn them the wrong way, with the high speed you had reached in the curve, your pedals will hit the ground and it would be dangerous
3: “Stop”
Which means
4: You can rest your legs....
5: That time is approximately....
Pag 16
1: Three seconds!!

Pag 20
1: “Orange”!!
2: Aventador!!

In your half-brothers au, how does Elder react to the news that Younger has released a dragon bent on the genocide of every single human on the planet? Does Younger tell him immediately? If not, are they separated by distance until the Flashburn school and then they have to climb the cliff?
I believe in book 9 Hiccup mentions trying to raise awareness to Stoick, but that Stoick always brushed him off. In this case, Minicup may have gone to Stoick and Elder once or twice, meekly bringing up his concerns about Furious escaping, but is reassured (by Elder mostly) that Furious is probably just happy to be free and is sleeping away the century out in the ocean somewhere. Minicup would conveniently fail to mention just who Furious is and his plan for, you know, the destruction of humanity. But hey, they've all got a lot on their plate in that coming year, with HTTYD 2 happening during in that time. The conversation just keeps getting put off.
(Not to mention Minicup would get extremely private and reserved after book 7, and wouldn't be willing to reveal a lot of things to Elder, his father, or his mothers. This thing about Furious is just one more thing he's terrified to admit to.)
Stoick dies before book 9 in hbau, so it all comes down to Elder, who is mostly shell shocked when the witch tells everyone about Minicup and Furious. He has a lot of Big Emotions following it. Not anger per se, but concern, and extreme frustration. He's just really worried about his little brother and hurt that Minicup never felt safe enough to talk to him about all this.
Ultimately, I think Elder would partly blame himself, feeling he should have been more perceptive and urged Minicup to be completely candid with him about Furious. Not to mention the fact that he didn't notice the slavemark, which Minicup very much did keep hidden from him.
(After all, didn't Hiccup the Second trust his family, too?)

The Watcher apology is cool. I really thought they wouldn't apologize or change things for a hot minute there and I am happy to be proven wrong. I'm glad they listened, realized their mistake and took action.
However, this whole thing really made me realise, personally, that I didn't enjoy their content anymore before this either. I think I continued watching and supporting them mainly because I wanted them to succeed and because I was hoping to relive the fun I had with Unsolved. I may still drop by for some shows here and there, but otherwise, I'm out.

we already know season 5 opens up with a scene of will singing when he was in the upside down so learning what happened during will’s time down there is a given, BUT the question is does will go back to the upside down??? and despite knowing that just because an actor is on set when they are filming a particular scene doesn’t mean said actor is in the scene, BUT it makes so much sense for will to go back to the upside down.
will byers going back to the upside down truthers rise!! byler kiss in the upside down truthers rise!! this picture is confirmation for me so thank you duffers!!

credits to @aspisera for making the crowd and saving me probably hours of my life, while it took them like 20 minutes
so coming from my prolonged and objectively correct deduction: noelle is a fan of my chemical romance. i mean think of the evidence: the biggest computer nerd is internet illiterate, noelle plays nintendogs, noelle's blog is very obviously at least HEAVILY INSPIRED by very early internet blogs, noelle is confirmed to listen to music (very early 2000s of her).
AND WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
just happened to be most prominent in early 2000s to 2010s
AT IT JUUUST HAPPENED to be popular for Teenagers and younglings alike.
and noelle
JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST HAPPENED
to be one of those. in that time. at that moment. in time.
meaning she's alive at the perfect time to have at least HEARD of mcr. and if she's half as intelligent as she's portrayed to be (or more intelligent than a dirt worm) she'd listen to 5 seconds of mcr and fall in love with it forever. AND AND and AAAAND if dess is HALF as cool as noelle says she'd introduce her to them.
also she has a crush on frank and/or ships frerard
also her favorite album is the black parade
fuck you in advance if you disagree with anything i just said because its all true i asked toby and he said its true and that i have beautiful hair and beautiful lips and i said "i know" and did a kickflip over the horizon into the sunset.

I DO NOT think Netflix's live action ATLA was created or changed with any distaste for the source material or INTENTIONAL sexism
YES there were a fair few poor decisions made and YES some female characters were diluted while some male characters were sanitized (to all the detriment of all of them)
I honestly think that the people who made this show, particularly the actors, love the original series but didn't just want to make an exact replica (which I can appreciate)
unfortunately, it appears that well meaning changes were not fully thought through, or if they were, clearly certain parts of the source material were underestimated in their significance or misunderstood in their meaning
Katara's character was mild and very disappointing, but Kiawentiio Tarbell is a good actress! don't let poor directing choices fool you
if any of the actors (especially the younger or newer actors) disagreed with any character changes, they couldn't do much or anything about it (and obviously they couldn't bad-mouth the show in interviews)
also, I can sympathize with wanting to make characters more likeable, especially when people have had 20 years to complain about stuff like Katara being self-righteous, Aang being flighty, S1 Zuko being bratty, and Sokka being less complex/interesting
but by not understanding that the inclusion of unattractive character flaws is thought out, intentional, and crucial to bringing these characters to life...
you fundamentally misunderstand the characters, and subsequently (in such a character-driven story) the whole gosh darn point of the show
