do you ever find something that is so funny and you want to share it with everyone but it also requires 18 layers of context spanning things like. 90s anime. aviation history. europop. canada. in order to even remotely understand why it is so funny

[all-pacas]

in the late 90s there was an anime called initial d which was all about street racing and drifting. naturally every single drift was played for great drama and excitement.

in 1999, an italian named giancarlo pasquini released a europop song under the alias dave rogers called Deja Vu. this song was picked up as the theme song for the above anime. it in turn became a meme, a shorthand for drifting and Cool Moves as a concept.

in 1983, air canada flight 143, a full sized 767, ran out of fuel halfway to edmonton, alberta. this is not something you want to have happen to a huge airplane. the flight chose to try and make an emergency landing at a nearby decomissioned airforce base (as they were falling fast and could not make it to a proper airport), where they ran into a second problem: they were falling out of the sky at 500 feet per mile, but reached gimli (the base in question) while still too high to safely land. normally a plane would just do a big loop-de-loop to lose altitude, but they had maybe three minutes of airtime left before they hit the ground: not enough time to make any kind of circle. the pilot, therefore, decided to execute a side slip to lose speed and altitude. this is Not a move you want to do with a massive 767, because airplanes are not built for that and if you screw it up that plane is hitting the ground at a high speed at a weird angle and breaking into a million pieces. nevertheless, the captain tried it... and succeeded. the plane landed perfectly, and there were no major injuries! (a couple of people did get minor injuries when evacuating the plane after.) he did it so well, in fact, that the plane was refueled, flown out of gimli a couple days later, and continued to fly for another 20 years with the nickname "Gimli Glider."

what is a side-slip, you ask?

it's drifting.

the guy goddamn drifted his 767.

in 2008, the tv show Mayday: Air Disaster featured the gimli glider with full reenactments as an episode on season five of their show.

and so, in conclusion, the thing i have been giggling to myself about all weekend:

[wigmund]

There's another level of the madness that is the Gimli Glider saga.

Unbeknownst to the pilots and the air traffic controller, the decommissioned air base they were going to land at had been converted into a race track complex - Gimili Motorsports Park.

There was a sanctioned sports-car race taking place on what had been the runway along with sizeable crowds. The same runway that Air Canada 143 needed to land on. So it ties back into Initial D again.

jon gets a lot of shit for being rude to statement givers but like. im gonna be so honest rn.

you make your way to this institute. BY CHOICE. you walk into MY office. you laugh about MY tape recorder. you make it very clear that you think we're a bunch of incompetent morons and are incredibly petty about the institute's reputation — which, YES, is BAD for GOOD REASON but your BITCHASS is still here SITTING IN MY OFFICE and MAKING IT MY PROBLEM.

man FUCK you AND your statement. i'd be telling people to eat shit so often Jonah would have to figure out how to fire my ass. GO TALK TO A GODDAMN SHRINK

in hindsight, growing up as an aromantic person who didn't know aromanticism was a thing...it woulda been really easy for me to assume that something was wrong with me, that I was "broken" or "missing" some piece of humanity.

luckily I was autistic, oblivious, and had a huge ego. it literally never occurred to me to frame it as a "me" problem. i just thought every single person i knew was a dumbass

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

not trying to be mean, that was just the natural conclusion of a judgemental aspec teenager forcibly surrounded by other teenagers. classmates would go on and on about their Longings and Yearnings and id be like. girl u r fifteen

[zimcard-artblog]

Yeah Chosen just does this sometimes

So I ofc adore all of the art and fics about Grocky exploring each other’s bodies in the name of science while road tripping to Erid. That said, one thing that’s always in the back of my mind is that Rocky is an engineer, not a scientist. I feel like while he is extremely curious, he’s more likely to want to know just enough to know how something works, and then once he's reached that point he wants to move onto something new. Adrian, however, I do hc as a scientist, specifically a biologist (specifically specifically an ecologist but still).

What I'm saying is that I think Rocky learned exactly enough about Grace’s digestive system to understand how to keep Grace healthy and not a whit more (ew eating gross gross gross) and then one day he walks into Grace’s house in the biodome and Adrian has their claws fully in Grace’s mouth

victim should've never been ceo because he can plan ahead of time for about 10 minutes. anything more than 10 minutes into the future he doesnt account for. he literally only makes 10 minute plans.

YOU GET IT

🎉 Congratulations Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London.

You're the most iconic asexual character on Tumblr dot com!!

We've done it!! We've given Jon a crown that isn't the Watcher's. 🙌 Thanks to @drax-the-vampire-king for the poll and to the entire TMA fandom for supporting our ace king!

[freckled-moss]

Now I love comically large Adrian as much as the next guy, but hear me out on the potential of a comically small Adrian

Random Au idea; Miraculously, the Blip-A crew survive, but at the cost of their travel time, making it so they arrive at Tau Ceti around the same time as the Hail Mary. (Don't think too hard about it)

Grace now gets regularly hassled by many Eridians, all of whom can hold multiple conversations at once, unlike him.

Naturally, opinions about the local wet organful thang Tau Ceti dragged in are varied

[iron-wyrm]

procrastinating on other things by continuing some fluff from a previous jonmartin beach date post

couldn't think of a good way to continue having Jon get menaced by beach critters so Martin's getting menaced by the sun instead
