HEY GIVE US ALL UR THOUGHTS ABT THE SPEED/TRIXIE ROMANCE THANKS

[INHALES] [SCREAMS FOR 100,000 YEARS]

the first time they kissed, speed kept his eyes open because he wanted to remember it (like the bill/bev kiss in IT… you know the one!!)

trixie to literally anybody else in the stands of the race: that speed racer’s my boyfriend, you know !!!!!!!!! i’m dating him !!!!!!!!!

speed “i had to set a reminder in my phone because i always forget when our anniversary is because i’m Dumb” racer

speed “mom help i have to get trixie a really good gift this year because she always gets me amazing gifts and i dont know what to do please help” racer

trixie “i’m going to buy my boyfriend lots of cute outfits whenever i get the chance to so that he will, for the love of God, stop wearing the same shirt every single day for several consecutive weeks” shimura

also trixie is 100% the type to either grab speed by the ascot or by the collar and Pull him into a kiss okay don’t argue with me on this one!!! (speed in the bg like [makes choking noises])

trixie’d always give speed a “kiss for luck” on the cheek, forehead or even on the helmet before he’d go racing and sometimes when he doesn’t have time to see her beforehand he gets Nervous/superstitious BC OH NO … TRIXIE DIDN’T KISS ME THIS ONE (1) TIME

for one date, trixie took him out on the helicopter for a romantic look above the city !!! and it was awesome and he loved it !!!

one time speed saw trixie laughing and hanging out with his mom just like, for Fun and he was like … Yep … She’s A Keeper ™

i feel like they Do have some relationship problems (just bc of how speed can be oblivious/hyperfocused and trixie seems like she gets jealous easy) but the thing that makes their relationship so good is that they just Get each other !!! And their dynamic is so close and healthy so that no matter what, they understand where the other party is coming from and are always on each others side !!!

This is Kjell Lindgren. He’s a NASA astronaut who just got back from 5 months on the International Space Station. There are two reasons why this picture is hilarious:

His wife is flawless and makes bad space puns to make him do household chores.

I have that shirt. Thousands of people have that shirt. That shirt is available at Target. Which means actual astronaut Kjell Lindgren, with his wardrobe already full of NASA-issued and logo-emblazoned clothes, was at Target, saw a NASA shirt, and was like, “Yes, I am buying this because this is what I want to spend my actual astronaut salary on.”

tl;dr NASA employs a bunch of fucking nerds

It gets better.

Courtesy of Wikipedia, here’s the poster NASA released for his mission to the ISS:

NASA confirmed for a bunch of fucking nerds

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.

NASA personnel are, like, the top nerds. The alpha nerds. The absolute nerdiest nerds. The nerds other nerds look to for nerdspiration.

I strongly recommend a visit to the following website (http://spaceflight101.com/iss/iss-expedition-posters/) that has all of them.

Everything started off all vanilla but a Expedition 16 they showed that they were truly Masters of The Dork Side of The Force:

Some other amusing posters they approved:

Tumblr: *rolls out “best stuff first”*

My blog:

unpretty

on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.

jasper-appreciation

Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.

You WILL miss content with that setting on.

sergle

i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why

characterdevelopmentforwriters

I’m sure you all have seen posts like this before, but you will be missing out on a lot of content if you have this feature activated.

transformativeworks

Fyi, folks, this account has been hit pretty hard by this change. Engagement is currently at about 30% of normal, which means that there are a lot of people missing out on informative posts like this one about original works on AO3.

In order to change this setting on mobile (it’s unclear if it’s available on desktop at the moment), view your blog by tapping the little silhouette in the bottom right of your screen, then tap the settings gear in the top right of your screen. From there, select Global Settings (iOS) or General Settings (Android), then Dashboard Preferences, and toggle the switch for “Best Stuff First.”

Thanks to everybody who follows this account, everybody who reblogs and/or likes the posts here, and everybody who joins in with events like Fandom First Friday! You’re all awesome!

reapersun

Hey guys, normally I don’t reblog on this account, but I wanted to help make more people aware of this. It’s probably going to harm every single person you follow, so please consider turning it off. I’ve noticed a drop from normal as well and although I try to not let note counts bother me, I have to admit it’s pretty discouraging.

Speed Racer Room

I can’t remember if I’ve ever shared this here or not, but I was cleaning the other day and snapped some photos of my art studio/guest room/Speed Racer museum while the beds were made :) so I thought I might as well post about it.

This is a tiny narrow room under the eaves at one end of the house, so there isn’t much space, but there are are two beds in the room. You can sleep on the Mach 5 side (photo 1) or the Shooting Star side (photo 2); each bed features a different set of licensed bedsheets. In addition to decals of the respective cars on the wall above each bed, the Mach 5 side has a lithograph (photo 3) of the full cast signed by the artist and the original character designer (I think?), while the Shooting Star side has a cel litho (photo 4) signed by Peter Fernandez and Corinne Orr (two of the four cast members; Fernandez also scripted the English adaptation and wrote the theme song).

I have a bunch of my collection crowded on a high shelf (photo 5) to keep it out of the way. This melange includes everything from model cars to playing cards to coloring books to metal badges from the old NOW comics. Not a lot of super rare or valuable stuff, but definitely eclectic. A movie poster from the opening night IMAX screening of the 2008 film is below it, and the shelf to the left contains my comic collection (including all eras of Speed Racer manga and comics, and also an artbook from the film. And hundreds of unrelated comics, because I’m a nerd).

There are a couple more limited edition cel lithos on the wall (photo 6), and below that a tissue box and a pair of plush Mach 5 bedroom slippers that are, sadly, sized for children and too small for my feet.

Speed and Trixie Barbie dolls (photo 7) and a Mach 5 nightlight (photo 8) add some flair, and I’ve included a photo of the drawn curtains (photo 9) which I made from one lone top bedsheet that someone was selling on eBay.
