✧♡˖°ʚ about me ɞ♡✧

hi! my name is ivy!

making a lil introductory post with some fun facts!

❧ i use she/her pronouns, and i am very bi 💖💜💙

❧ i love racing, i was raised on indycar, but only started watching seriously this season so if my knowledge seems patchy that's why. i know some super niche stuff and have no idea about some super obvious stuff lol

❧ i don't really have any particular fav f1 teams, just people i do or don't like. for indycar, i tend to lean towards andretti global, although i like a lot of the grid individually.

❧ my fav f1 drivers are fernando alonso, carlos sainz, logan seargant(WTF IS A KILOMETER RAHHH), and daniel ricciardo, and my fav indycar drivers are colton herta, kyffin simpson, nolan siegel, and pato o'ward. there are plenty of other ppl i like though, so if you want to chat i'm happy to yap!

❧ warning: this blog may contain some haterism, but i promise it will all be in good fun! i dont believe anyone should deal with threats or hate speech, no matter how much i dislike them. i am simply a middle sister and incredibly sassy. pretty much everything i say can be taken with a little /lh at the end

❧ this will be a fanfic blog, but its gonna be inconsistent as hell bc shit is crazy in my life and i am adhd as fuck!

❧ requests are open for p much any driver (NOT ferrucci tho i would never), but if i don't feel comfortable or capable of writing a request i'll let you know! some of the younger guys especially are a little dicey, it depends on the request.

❧ my writings could be fluff, angst, oneshots, blurbs, headcanons, smaus, whatever i'm feeling. there may be some smut thrown in but that shit is impossible to write so we'll see.

❧ i have a few things in the works right now, which will hopefully be finished shortly, but im majoring in physics and engineering (aka i hate myself) so. we'll see

please please please reach out i would love to chat!

#i know we like to say that sid saw geno in latvia and decided he would have this man for himself for eternity#but ovi really actually did that with nicke#he really was like#i saw you for the first time on a stage in vancouver in 2006 when i was scared to mispronounce your name#from that moment i knew that you were mine#and i don’t care if you’re awkward and swedish#i will take you everywhere with me#and we will be mama and papa to a team of horrible children#and we will win it all together (tags by @ultravioletlightwaves)

[sashayed]

great tags but i don’t want anyone to forget it did not start for alex ovechkin onstage in vancouver in 2006, it started a month earlier at the world championships in Latvia during the group f russia-sweden game when a dead-eyed teenage mack truck hit him so hard in the first period it literally changed his life

(x) romance!!!!

[saviorified]

in general ive realized that people have a hard time conceiving of sports as a cultural output and an art ... many people think Sport is its own thing completely detached from the world around it it's kind of embarrassing

The Muppet Christmas Carol is now considered a holiday classic and probably one of the best of the Muppets’ filmography, but when you look at it, it is such a departure from all the previous Muppet media. It’s much darker- both in terms of tone and color palette. There’s no celebrity cameos. A human is the central character instead of one of the Muppets. There are many new Muppets instead of relying on regular Muppets for some of the roles and some the Muppets are in roles you wouldn’t expect.

A lot of this makes much more sense with the context that this is the first Muppet project after Jim Henson’s sudden death and Muppeteer Richard Hunt was incredibly sick due to complications from AIDS that he was unable to participate (he would die during production). It’s a film created by a lot of people actively in the grieving process. You can feel that grief in scenes like the ones in the Cratchit home. It also explains why certain Muppets appear and some don’t. They really only use Jim and Richard’s characters when they have to. You can’t have a Muppet movie without Kermit, so Kermit is in. Statler and Waldorf are both perfect for Jacob Marley, so they both had to be recast because they were performed by Richard and Jim (which makes the fact they are ghosts kind of sad). Beaker is one of Richard’s characters and because you can’t have Bunsen without Beaker, Beaker was recast. Of Jim’s other major characters, Dr. Teeth and Rowlf are present but silent and the Swedish Chef has a more active cameo. Of Richard’s regular characters, only Janice is present. Scooter and Sweetums are not in the film. Frank Oz was busy with other jobs, so he really only does his main four of Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, and Sam the Eagle. Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, and Jerry Nelson did a lot of the main characters, except the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future. Jerry Nelson did the face puppeteering and voice of the Ghost of Christmas Present. I think it speaks to Jerry Juhl’s skill as a writer that he was able to not only adapt to these casting considerations, but also write one of the most faithful adaptations of A Christmas Carol.

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

The movie also launched the absolutely spectacular duo act of Gonzo and Rizzo.

But it is definitely weird that they created new puppets/characters for the Ghosts, rather than casting existing Muppets in the role. But it’s also a move that garnered them a lot of praise. More understandable with the casting necessities though. I could certainly have very easily seen Sweetums as Present, for example.

[rockmusicplays]

Rewatching this movie as an adult knowing all of this, and knowing how hard it was for Steve Whitmire to step into the roll after Jim Henson’s death adds a whole other level of heartbreak to “Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it. We shall never forget Tiny Tim, or this first parting there was among us.”

oh

[carsonjonesfiance]

“You can’t vote out Capitalism” yeah but you can vote for Elizabeth Warren and her Consumer Financial Protection Bureau you can vote for not abolishing food stamp. You can vote for Biden’s millions of dollars in federal loan forgiveness. You can vote for Medicaid expansion to help those at the bottom rungs. You can vote for racial, gender, and sexuality protections in the workplace. You can vote for a million things that improve our life under Capitalism and saying “voting doesn’t change anything” only shows how much privilege you must have that you wouldn’t notice the difference.

[transchaoswizard]

"You can vote for Biden's millions of dollars in federal loan forgiveness" We did that though, and he proceeded to quite immediately and explicitly Not make it happen.

[carsonjonesfiance]

He forgave $188.8 Billion USD in federal student loans. I’m sorry you weren’t one of the borrowers who qualified, but he forgave billions with a B

[carsonjonesfiance]

5.3 million borrowers had their loans forgiven and while, yes, that’s only a drop in the bucket, that’s still a 5.3 million Americans who had a financial burden taken off their back and acting like that didn’t happen when these numbers are a Google search away can only be explained by ignorance or malice.

[forumgamer]

This is one of the reasons Republicans keep winning. Their political "achievements" are usually generally acknowledged (restricting abortion rights, fucking over minorities, etc etc - all horrible usually, but things their base WANTS), while the things Democrats do are forgotten or denied immediately.

he could have stopped at the cross check but said you know what? im feeling symptomatic tonight (he has rabies)

[yesterdayiwrote]

"Yeah, but George..." Listen, it could have been Nikita Mazepin driving a 2021 tractor of a Haas with all the ontrack race craft of a donkey and the off track charisma of a cabbage and it STILL wouldn't be okay for Max Verstappen to drive into him on purpose...

[racecardilfs]

So Max just admitted to intentionally hitting George's car at Barcelona this year. I don’t want to say too much because I'm genuinely furious, but I do want to say again: people die in this sport. People have their lives permanently altered by crashes. What Max did was dangerous, uncalled for, and immature. and he got the same penalty Ollie did for 'leaving the track and gaining an advantage.'

[thornescratch]

I think it is very unreasonable of the NHL to expect the Caps to be able to accurately count to five.
