Mature | Racing AU | Racer Sheldon Lee Cooper x Doctor Amy Farrah Fowler Crack fic | Objectification | OOC Sheldon Cooper

In the world of GT3 racing, Sheldon "The Flash" Cooper has always been faster than everyone else because he sees the world in numbers. At the Long Beach street circuit, during a routine pre-race check, he encounters an anomaly that disrupts his entire system: a rear wing that isn't attached to a car. It belongs to the attending neurosurgeon, and it's the most aerodynamically perfect thing he's ever seen.

This version of Sheldon is based on the unaired TBBT pilot persona. He is very out of character compared to the broadcast TV version.

i really just wanted to make a pun about how the word "rear" can mean both a butt and a car part lol. the image might be a little blurry, so i guess you need to click on it to see it in a much better quality and read the text. but if it still doesn't work, let me know and i'll release a pdf version! i wasn't sure if it was safe to upload on tapas, so i tried my best to split everything up here and hopefully, it's still readable. also, i don't know why i did this lmao

THIS IS SO AWESOME JAAAAAY 😭😍

✶ "I don't need anyone." (Reality caves when they're sick, alone, and no one checks on them because they trained everyone not to.)

✶ "I'm over it." (Caves when they see their ex happy with someone else and realize they've been paused for three years.)

✶ "It wasn't that bad." (Caves when they see someone else experience the same thing and feel protective rage they never felt for themselves.)

✶ "I work better under pressure." (Caves at 4am when their hands won't stop shaking and they can't remember the last time they ate.)

✶ "They'll come back." (Caves when someone new sits in their usual spot and the world didn't actually stop turning.)

✶ "I'm not like my parents." (Caves mid-argument when they hear their mother's exact words coming out of their mouth.)

✶ "I just need to be thinner/richer/smarter/better." (Caves when they achieve the goal and the emptiness is still there, unchanged, patient.)

✶ "I can quit whenever I want." (Caves when they try to stop for one day and their body betrays them with withdrawal, need, panic.)

✶ "Time heals everything." (Caves on the ten-year anniversary when it hurts exactly the same.)

✶ "I'm protecting them by staying away." (Caves when they find out the person spent years thinking they weren't wanted, weren't loved.)

✶ "It's not abuse if I provoked it." (Caves when they see a child get yelled at for nothing and want to shield them from everything.)

✶ "I don't deserve better." (Caves when someone treats them with basic kindness and they break down crying in a Starbucks bathroom.)

✶ "Asking for help is weakness." (Caves when they physically can't do it alone anymore and pride becomes a luxury they can't afford.)

✶ "People leave, that's just how it is." (Caves when someone stays through the ugly and they realize they've been the one pushing everyone away.)

✶ "I'm too damaged for love." (Caves when someone looks at their scars and doesn't flinch.)

✶ "Success will make me happy." (Caves at the top of the ladder when the view is just lonelier, higher up.)

✶ "They didn't mean it like that." (Caves when the same pattern repeats and excuses run out and they're tired, so tired of translating cruelty into kindness.)

✶ "I'm fine being alone." (Caves during a random Tuesday evening when the silence becomes a physical weight crushing their chest.)

✶ "Emotions are weakness." (Caves when they feel nothing at their own parent's funeral and realize they've amputated part of their humanity.)

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

Write it badly or it'll never be written

you can see the atmosphere. that halo around the edge, that's my air. the green on the upper right is my aurora. those are my clouds, my sunlight.

For what it's worth, I can't remember ever having kissed another woman before.

Maggie’s taking care of a man who’s dying; he’s attended to everything, said goodbye to his parents,

paid off his credit card. She says Why don’t you just run it up to the limit?

but he wants everything squared away, no balance owed, though he misses the pets

he’s already found a home for — he can’t be around dogs or cats, too much risk. He says,

I can’t have anything. She says, A bowl of goldfish? He says he doesn’t want to start

with anything and then describes the kind he’d maybe like, how their tails would fan

to a gold flaring. They talk about hot jewel tones, gold lacquer, say maybe

they’ll go pick some out though he can’t go much of anywhere and then abruptly he says I can’t love

anything I can’t finish. He says it like he’s had enough of the whole scintillant world,

though what he means is he’ll never be satisfied and therefore has established this discipline,

a kind of severe rehearsal. That’s where they leave it, him looking out the window,

her knitting as she does because she needs to do something. Later he leaves a message:

Yes to the bowl of goldfish. Meaning: let me go, if I have to, in brilliance. In a story I read,

a Zen master who’d perfected his detachment from the things of the world remembered, at the moment of dying,

a deer he used to feed in the park, and wondered who might care for it, and at that instant was reborn

in the stunned flesh of a fawn. So, Maggie’s friend — Is he going out

Into the last loved object Of his attention? Fanning the veined translucence

Of an opulent tail, Undulant in some uncapturable curve Is he bronze chrysanthemums,
