Wait wait wait… did the interviewer say who submitted that question for asking? Cause I DEFINITELY asked about Ransom having his own storyline/sequel to KO. 😳

I think that was the question actually. Here is the link to the panel if you want to watch it.

YUP! THAT WAS MEEEEEEEEEE. Oh man.

Around the 22 minute mark is when it's asked.

I listened to nearly all of the 3 pitch perfect soundtracks recently and here's the idea I got before falling asleep

The daggers having acapella groups

The girls- The Flying Bellas (like the Barden Bellas, Lyra and Cassidy came up with it)

The boys- The Flyboys (Maverick did it)

it’s also fucked up that fat people literally fear going to the doctor for anything because they know the first thing out of their dr’s mouth no matter what their ailment is, is gonna be “lose weight lol” broken leg? lose weight. rash? lose weight. whooping cough? lose weight binch!!!!! like we get it. but can you just write my prescription you bitch so i can go eat a salad and not call you again until im about to die of the plague????

I would not be surprised if someone did a study and found an increase in misdiagnosis of fat patients due to doctors focusing solely on weight loss as a panacea and ignoring other vital issues

You mean like this article from the NY Times (from September of 2016) talking about how doctors refuse to consider non weight related issues until they absolutely have to?

Or this study showing that even though the bias is often unintentional it greatly changes patient care?

Or this study that showed that maternity providers have a bias towards obese women and often provide subpar care or push elective procedures?

Fat Shaming Tied to Increased Risk of Metabolic Problems this one that says that obese people who are made to feel bad about their weight are 41% more likely to have medical complications as a result of the internalized stress (high cholesterol, high sugars, high blood pressure- or need meds to treat those conditions), versus people who don’t feel stigmatized. 

‘People First’ – Ending Weight Bias in Diabetes Care “ Evidence also indicates that doctors may spend less time in appointments, provide less health education, build less rapport, have lower expectations for medication adherence, and have less desire to help patients with obesity compared with thinner patients. “

I think about this every time I see something saying that obesity is a high risk factor for any other illness.

I’m going to warn you all now, I will be obsessing over this season of Bridgerton. I see a lot of myself in Penelope, and I need to see “me” get a happy ending.

When I saw I have binged this fic all evening, I am not exaggerating. I’ve fallen in love with Duckie, Nicky, and Jake, and am desperate for more. And I gotta say that Jake isn’t the only one imagining a little girl with Duckie’s eyes and Jake’s blonde hair; her brother learning to be a pool shark from Uncle Rooster now that he’s old enough to reach the table.

I would love to be added to your tag list if you have any openings. 🤞🏻

Hi, Beth! Can I request🎢 with Bob for the meet cute mood boards?

Hey Sarah! Thank you so much for joining the meet cute fun 🥰 This idea has been spinning in my head for literally years, way before Top Gun Maverick came into my life! I'm so glad that you (and Bob) have given me the chance to get it out there!

🎢 It was your turn to ride solo. Disneyworld (as well as the real world) was built for two, it seemed. Your friends paired up and you were left standing in the section in front of them, praying that the ride operator wouldn't notice there was a gap and you could have a row to yourself instead of sharing it with a stranger.

Splash Mountain was the worst kind of ride to get stuck with a chatty one. It was slow and meandering with too many talking points.

"Any single riders?!"

The call went out. You hoped. You prayed.

"Over here!" some guy hollered. "Bob is single!"

You turned in time to see a man being pushed onto the deck by his teasing friends and, before he could protest, he was ushered into the boat next to you.

"Hi," he said meekly, clearly embarrassed.

This could not have gone any worse. Because Bob turned out to be the achingly beautiful man you'd been eyeing throughout your time in the line. He had a kind face, a gentle smile and cute glasses. You'd conjured an entire personality for him in your head. In your imagination, he was boyfriend-coded to perfection. He was supposed to be a fantasy, not a reality.

But then again, Disneyworld was known as the place where dreams came true...

Seconds before the boat was launched, you heard one of your friends call your name. Without you noticing, they had swapped sections with half a family and were now sat in a completely different boat.

"Remember what the sign said!" your friend yelled, "You may get wet! Perhaps in more ways than one!"

The boat lurched forward and you hoped it might capsize along the way.

Bob tittered beside you. "My friend Jake kept making the same joke. Now I can tell him how unoriginal he is."

You snorted.

"I can't believe my friends are so embarrassing."

"At least you didn't get outed as single in front of 50 people."

"My friends might have been more subtle with that part of things, but the punchline was still the same," you lamented.

"We shouldn't be made to feel like that. It's a shitty thing to do."

You just shrugged. "Maybe this is the perfect ride for us, we can bond over our sorrows and then drown in them at the end."

Bob laughed brightly.

"We should be more positive. Maybe the water will actually wash all of our sorrows away."

"I wish," you replied wistfully. "The moment will be immortalised in one of those cringey ride photos either way."

You spent the rest of the journey talking about all the ridiculous Splash Mountain pictures you had seen, from people playing chess or beer pong to reading newspapers or proposing.

You found yourself growing more attracted to Bob by the second, and all the clues pointed to him feeling the same. So, when the boat began its ascent up the final ramp, you decided it was time to wish on a star.

"Why don't we do a posed photo of our own," you suggested boldly. "We could give our friends something new to talk about."

He looked at you quizzically. "What do you mean?"

"Kiss me when we go over the drop."

Bob's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates behind his glasses. Shit. You'd completely misjudged this - you could have sworn he'd been making eyes at you, just like you had been with him. How could you have been so stup- oh.

He was kissing you. His soft, supple lips were on yours and you could smell his cologne and taste the icing sugar from a Mickey-shaped waffle and, if this were a Disney movie, heart-shaped bubbles would have been bursting above your head.

"We're not at the top yet," you breathed, unable to think of anything else to say.

"I know, but there's no harm in getting some practice, right?"

*pterodactyl screech*

Now I need a whole day of Bob and reader in Disney doing this in all the ride photos. Haunted Mansion? Absolutely. Frozen Ever After? You bet. Pirates of the Caribbean? Yes, and you’re both holding up your hands in a hook shape. (I do admit that it would be hard on rides like Guardians Cosmic Rewind, Space Mountain, Tron, and Rock-n-Rollercoaster, BUT they make up for it on the Peoplemover where they cuddle and kiss despite that attraction not having Photopass moments.

🥰

I am screeching along with you Jen!

I think you've just planned Bob and the reader's perfect honeymoon! Perhaps they go to Disneyland Paris because it's the city of love and they take an adorable photo on every ride they can ❤️

… I mean, I am a travel agent who specializes in Disney Parks and Vacations… 😬 (no lie, I truly am!) I’d live for a Disney based Honeymoon. Ohhh! What if they did multiple overseas parks; Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo wouldn’t be far from each other in the grand scheme. 🤔

And to think, their kids would have a childhood full of Disney memories cause that’s where Mom and Dad met.

Request for Rooster please :) basically fluff, not sure if you have something like this already but something along the line of y/n being a pilot as well, Rooster falling for them and trying to potentially impress them? Trying to confess before his chance is loss because he sees hangman around y/n time to time but Rooster doesn’t find out (immediately) that hangman and y/n are siblings so Rooster is torn between confessing or not (he does end up confessing)

Ahh thank you for the super cute request! I have a thing for writing sisters, you know ;)

Worst Day Ever

Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x Seresin Sister!Reader

CW: Just a lil drabble, nothing fancy. A little cheesy. A bit fluffy. A lot goofy. The star of this show is Nat XD

WC: ~1100

“This is the worst day ever.”

Natasha looks over at Bradley as he moodily packs up his things at the end of the briefing. She grins in amusement. “You sound like a toddler.”

Bradley exhales gloomily and directs his gaze toward the front of the room where you stand, chatting with Bagman. “What does she see in that dirtbag?” he makes a face of disgust.

“I guess she sees his abs.” Natasha shrugs.

Bradley gives her a flat look. “Not you too.”

“What?” she exclaims with a laugh. “I’m not denying that he’s got a shit personality.” She glances over at you and Jake. “But he’s easy on the eyes, what can I say?”

Question for the Top Gun fandom…

Where was it said that Bob’s from Montana? Cause I’m not getting a Montana vibe from him.

To be honest, he reminds me a LOT of people/guys/service people I know from Virginia, North Carolina, or Kentucky. (The slight accent in TGM matches that, too.) Tennessee MAYBE.

Is it just an individual headcanon thing, or was it actually somewhere in canon that I missed?

Perfectly matching and replicating colors just by seeing them is an art, and, while it's also a very useful task, people who can do this are primarily artists.

Yeah but no but yeah -- Look he didn't just colour match it, he also added in the turbulence medium, the clearcoat and the correct metallic flecks... for a paint that will dry a lighter shade than when it goes on.

That's like being served an entire thanksgiving meal made my one person in 45 minutes and then saying "Oh they made me a snack": It is radically underselling what this person can do.

These are called Witches Stairs. Allegedly, witches can't climb up them.

You will occasionally find them in very, very old New England homes.

The fact I can’t climb them isn’t because I’m a witch it’s because I’m clumsy af and get my feet all tripped up.
