do we have the tour next week please say yes

do we have the tour this weekend please say yes

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.

and this isnt just about shounen i just mean like. if you're excusing misogynistic writing with "well it wasn't written for girls" then i'm seriously questioning your approach to all this.

Also something I see a lot: people gushing to their friends in discord about a fic but not commenting on it to the author themselves. It's reassuring to find out secondhand that people gushed about your creation, but it's so much better when someone tells you directly! Reaching out directly on AO3 also helps to curb any lingering doubt of like... Is this something they'd only admit to in private but don't want their name connected to mine on AO3? Since there's a lot of weirdness around who someone associates with in fandom these days

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

tbh, kings of cobbles joke aside, i do believe this kind of route favours strong engines like wout and mathieu who, thanks to cyclocross, are used to those kind of z5 efforts, and you can see how that, in the third lap on montmartre in both cases, made a huge huge huge difference – and in this year's case, also in that sprint

wout25 with no mathieu and matje26 with no wout yeah that’s still wvdp soulmatism btw.

They should make an old school tdf where the stages are mostly flat, very long, and the riders are not allowed radios

We could have little climbs along the way, but no mountains

And also riders should be responsible for changing their tyre in case of a flat

need to cope

The Count of Monte Christo Anime is very inspiring
