"YEAAAAAHHHH KICK HIS ASS PROFESSOR G!!!" bellowed Dustin Henderson from the stand just above her.
Sarah wasn't the one to ask about martial battles, but even to her untrained eyes, the two men fought with an odd sense of realism to it, no fancy Hollywood choreography, just as if they'd both walked out of the wars of ancient history and straight into the present. There were even a few dirty tricks involved, which sent Professor Macleod swearing and Professor Gadling laughing at him for falling for it.
"HE'S AN OLD SOLDIER, HIGHLANDER! DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN FOR AN INSTANT!" yelled Professor Pierson, who was red-faced with laughter.
"YOU MIGHT WANT TO DEFEND MINE HONOR, OLD MAN!" Professor Macleod yelled back.
A few moments later, Macleod had lost his sword and Gadling had his sword at his throat.
"I yield, you bloody Sassenach," Macleod grumbled good-naturedly. He looked over at a still laughing Professor Pierson. "Oi! Shouldn't you be avenging your lost love here?"
"Loser gets to buy the drinks, aye, Pierson?" Gadling called.
"Well, if it's free beer..." Professor Pierson said, going down the stands, to the cheers of the rest of the crowd.
Beside her, Rose giggled. "It looks like Uncle Dream's the one with the braincell today. This is not gonna end well."
"No?" Calliope murmured, all mischief. "Will you be sending your knight off without a favor, Oneiros?"
Sarah blinked. She's not sure when Murphy had joined them, but he was there right now, only he had his face buried in his hands, shaking his head.
"I have never seen you this flushed, Oneiros. Even your ears are red!" Calliope said in delight. "It's adorable!"
hey it’s late but i think i might as well say something happy in this inbox, so: i honestly feel good about my appearance right now, and i can look in the mirror and really believe that i’m desirable, and pretty, and somewhat androgynous. and i hope i can still believe in that tomorrow. 🥺💖
Just a PSA that "anonymous" and "confidential" employer surveys are not anonymous or confidential.
I just got a reminder that I have not filled out my survey, and there were 12 other employees CCed on that email. How did they know we specifically have not done the survey yet? Also now I know who has not done the survey, not exactly taking this confidential information all that seriously are we.
I am sure there is some HR/legal reason for making this claim but honestly I would have done the survey if it was not for the straight up lie that my name would not be tied to my answers.
I remembered in 2021 (?) you posted a video of Daniel breaking down in the cool down room otw to the podium a couple of days after Jules' death and I thought "that's sad, the drivers were really impacted". But my moot on twitter is posting about Jules and she shared that Jules and Daniel lived together and how Jules helped Daniel settle in Europe when he felt so Alone ☹️ do you still have it by any chance?
yeah :( Hungary 2015 he broke down and Charlie Whiting (Race director) and a couple of people from the FIA really freaked out, I think they thought he was gonna collapse or had a health related thing. + he was also uncharacteristically withdrawn on the podium :(
I will never stop appreciating how ride or die Wylan is. this man allowed his ribs to be broken so he could embarrass his father. he doesn't necessarily like killing, but he's willing to for the mission. he's willing to do whatever it takes when Inej is kidnapped. and let's not forget how he risked permanently changing his appearance to look like someone else. he didn't know if he'd be able to change back. he didn't even tell Jesper, the man he had a huge crush on, because it might have affected the mission. once he commits to something, he'll pour everything he has into it.
Hey, you! This is your daily reminder to stay alive!
You have no idea how many people would miss you if you were gone.
That one online friend who reblogs your posts. That one barista who always remembers how to spell your name. The kind old lady who lives down the street. The neighbor's kid who always tries to play video games with you. Your childhood friends. Your current friends. The people you aren't friends with yet, but want to befriend.
I remember learning about the death of a classmate, and being struck with a sudden emptiness. How could someone I knew just be gone in a blink? Even though she probably never thought of me, I thought of her. I'm thinking of you.
So many people think of you, love you, would miss you.
I know.
I know, it's really hard, but let's get through this. Together. Let's be each other's people. Let's think about each other as we keep on fighting.
sending love to all trans selfshippers, nb selfshippers, GNC selfshippers, unlabelled selfshippers, selfshippers with confusing/nonconventional genders, ect! we love you guys!!
