ok what’s your florence + the machine song. mine is rabbit heart (raise it up)<3
on a certain level. for me. being a fan of an nhl team is not about being a fan of good hockey. it's about, fundamentally, being deeply obsessed with a specific group of coworkers in a hockey themed work environment
"The Seattle Mariners are eminently lovable, profoundly human, and stunningly, outrageously weird...if you choose to appreciate sports simply in terms of winning and losing, there is nothing for you here."

I thought this was just a post about what month was coming up.
It's gonna be may, but it's already an economic crisis.

if you are unfamiliar with jared mccann and his story i recommend you check out this very excellent primer by @yamball :)
I'm gonna link to the animations in case y'all either don't remember or have never heard of some of these.
A quick note: these were made in the 2000s. Comedy is subjective, there's some strong examples of dark and/or "lolz teh random" humor in these. Maybe some cultural blindness, too. That said, enjoy a time capsule of stuff made before/during the birth of Youtube, now hosted on Youtube.
The White Tree of Gondor is FINALLY DONE!!!! WAHOOOOO!!!!!! Ty to my papa for making this custom wood frame <3

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think
Links to Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham's own posts on drift compatibility and drifting
- Drift compatibility is psychological, not genetic
- The better you know someone, the more likely you are to be drift compatible
- Drift compatibility is potential, not fate
- Drift compatibility can be a choice
- Friendship is the foundation of drift compatibility
- The drift requires trust
- Trust is fundamental; also drift compatibility can be determined with anything that tests how well you can anticipate each others' moves
- That even includes multiplayer video games
- Many cadets wash out during Pons training when secrets come out in the drift and shatter their relationships
- A lot of pilots get messed up by flinching over sexual thoughts
- Trying to avoid thoughts just makes them worse
- Not everything you see in the drift is always real; also the way to deal with thoughts is just let them flow by
- Pilots communicate through "headspace"
- Illustration of a conversation in headspace
- First drifts can be very confusing, because partners don't understand each others' minds very well yet
- The drift exposes pilots to each others' raw, unfiltered thoughts
- Raleigh knew what Yancy was going to say
- The drift doesn't let you read your partner's mind like a database, and you may not necessarily understand what you see. Also when Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift he means he's calm and stable.
- Pentecost gained this calmness through meditation
- Trying to block your partner from your mind will make you lose control of the Jaeger
- Pilots who fall below 90% sync will be in trouble
- General information plus info on RABITs
- You can chase your partner's RABIT
- Another post confirming you can chase your partner's RABIT
- More RABIT info
- More general information
- Travis Beacham defines ghost drifting
- Partners' personalities can rub off on each other
- Neural overload doesn't hit you all at once; it accumulates
- The time a pilot can go solo varies, and it's a steep curve from fine to dead
- More info on solo piloting
- Being high in the drift probably makes it harder to avoid chasing the RABIT
