Last post of the year (had to be Sevika)
Your Protector-Fleet Foxes
You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming home
Coming home
And this is why I live this show
No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?
Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.
And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.
So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”
Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.
I love his dedication to the sport
24 year old George Russell who had at that point been a gpda director for only just over a year, staying through all meetings with drivers, team principals, fia and f1 in 2022 so that he could ENSURE driver safety in the wake of missile strikes in Saudi Arabia ! Meetings that not only went into late hours of the night but into almost decent hours of the morning as the sole gpda representative. AFTER F1 released a statement that the drivers were unanimous in still wanting to drive.
He's been putting the work in for years.

He casually annihilates them every time. I know the FIA hates to seem him coming.
This. If I can get this into my head, that would be great
self-improvement should be because you want to improve your quality of life, not because you feel or think you *need* to be better in order to be loved or allowed to live. there's no end goal with self-improvement, it's easy to dig yourself a grave when you don't realize that you're not on a ticking clock to be the 'best version of yourself'. all you need to strive to do is be the version of yourself you are the most happy with. find out what values you find important, what kind of friend do you want to be, how do you want to react to things. what are things that would improve the way you go about life? what would make life easier, better and more enjoyable for you?
the only person who had a worse race than ferrari was oscar piastri – and when the leaderboard listed him as 'out', he reversed out of the grass and got back on track. he was not going to DNF at his home race without the stewards physically wrenching a front axle from his hands.
oscar piastri is a goddamn phoenix, and he will rise again and again and again. i love charles, and he is il predestinato - but oscar being a champion is not even predestined. it's literally inevitable.
He is so polite cat
osco and his scrunchy little smile
Ghostly figures
dancing, swaying
on long forgotten music
Lost lovers
unite once more
Families
laugh and play
As time slowly ticks away

Oscar Piastri!
Maybe if my mother and I
were much more different,
it would be easier to fault her
for everything that happened.
To explain all the pain
I am carrying.
Maybe if my mother weren't
sometimes soft
pinning the fault would
go smoother.
if she didn't have the
same outline I have
if we didn't laugh the same,
share the same freckle,
chin, and ears,
and have the same interests.
Why did the universe make us
so much alike.
To whom of the counterparts
does this curse belong to.
Do I then blame
her or myself
as her and I look at our
mirror images
mournfully gazing at each other.
bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.
