Besties you must understand me, I love Ferrari and its comic tragic melodrama SO MUCH. I want the DRAMA, I want the AGONY

I want to see Sainz start beating Leclerc. I want to hear the passive aggressive team radio. I want to see Charles Leclerc’s sad beautiful little face as he watches his teammate on the top step of the podium. I want to watch him think, for just a few awful heart-wrenching seconds, “…what if he’s better than me?”

And then I want to see Leclerc claw it back with the absolutely unhinged aggression he is capable of. To see team orders disobeyed, contact in turn 1, red carbon fibre everywhere, every member of the pit wall with their heads in their hands!! Binotto making statement after public statement about how there is no bad feeling, as they take pains to arrange for their drivers to never encounter one another on the track!! Only Ferrari can make pain so delicious and god do I love them for it

I remember discovering the fire of Notre Dame on tumblr, so I'm very sorry to inform everyone that the Danish Stock Exchange in Copenhagen, completed in 1625, is burning. Its unique spire has fallen, and as the building is, to a larger degree than Notre Dame, made of wood, mortar, and stucco, there may be very real structural damage. As you can see from the image, they were in the process of restoring it, just as it was the case with the church. Very real reconsideration should be done to how we restore very old buildings if we keep setting them on fire during the work.

People off the street have been seen running into the building and bringing out historical art pieces, primarily paintings. If you are close by, DO NOT do this! I know it appears the heroic thing to do, but no human life is worth the risk to save a painting, no matter how significant.

Before all this:

Update:

The fire is now under control, and the firefighters are dealing with the embers. It has been possible to save the superstructure, that is to say the outer walls, foundational supports, and main inner supports, but about half of the interior is completely burnt out.

The people who were seen running into the building were misreported as people off the street - they were, thankfully, employees and specialists who knew what was where, and who were let in by the firefighters while it was deemed safe. Hundreds of artworks and pieces of cultural importance have been removed under police escort to the National Museum and its storage and restoration facility in the nearby town of Brede, where they'll be indexed and carefully looked after by the best experts in the country.

Danish Business, who has their headquarters in the Stock Exchange, has sworn that no matter what the damage, they will rebuild. This has happened once before with a Christian 4th building, namely Frederiksborg Castle, where Carlsberg ended up buying and restoring the building when it burnt to a similar state in the late 19th century. One can only hope that this time the result will be as historically aware and beautiful, and that no one lets Bjarke Ingels close to the site...

Nothing left but a burnt out husk now.

Incredibly Bad News

On the evening of April 18th, 2024, the outer walls on the Stock Exchange collapsed. A photo taken from the next door Christiansborg Palace tower shows the extent of this new devastation: the intact parts of the building have also been ruined thanks to the collapse of the outer superstructure, and the fire has rekindled due to the new material:

I'd leave. This is a sign that my opponent has the most fucked up unethical spells imaginable, and I am not about to be subject to Malchezar's Piercing Prostate Bomb or something

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞

The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

Hey I just wanna quickly say that you only get these if someone reports the story. I've barely updated on Wattpad in the past two years and haven't gotten any of these, mostly because I don't even have an audience over there who has the potential or drive to report my fics. So, corporate greed is bad, yes, but it's also readers being buttheads

Hmm, that's interesting! You know what happens if someone reports a story for being incomplete on AO3? Jack shit, because not churning out content for your fun little hobby is not a reportable offense on AO3! And that's because, unlike Wattpad, AO3 isn't profiting off of your work, either directly or indirectly, and so when readers are buttheads, the AO3 abuse mods ignore them, instead of sending out weird automated messages harassing writers for daring to have a wip.

Yeah you're right, it's an ongoing process to correct my attitudes and it's going to take a lot of time and effort but is very much the right thing to do. What I mean here is what I have done and been complicit in in the past doesn't go away because I'm getting better and trying to correct my past errors.

Also because I was involved in the YPG in Syria as an irregular, so an illegal combatant...you know, a war criminal

Like very literally this is why I joke about it.

you could've led with that last part and saved everyone a lot of trouble but it is admittedly very funny that you didn't

"Go to hell" is basic. "Hope your favourite anime movie sequel gets cancelled after seven years in production AND getting an animated teaser." is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It's happened.

I'm so freaking upset about the cancellation of the Yuri on Ice movie. I can't believe that Mappa won't produce the movie. YoI literally made that freaking studio famous back in 2016. That anime was MASSIVE! Literally broke the internet, aka every side that provided the episodes, legal or illegal sides.

People like me started to actually watch and care for figure skating! Professional figure skaters PERFORMED to the ost!!!

And remember how the entire team for the ost went of tour in like 2017??? Because I remember that! I freaking watched the live stream on YouTube!!!!

It's just freaking ridiculous, seriously. I don't understand why Mappa is stopping the production of such a big franchise.

I really hope that Mappa ends up selling the ip for YoI so that a different studio can give us a movie or a new season.
