PLEASE BE PROUD
I DID DRIVING

warnings: a little suggestiveness, speeding, driving (motorcycles), cologne, a kiss to the back of the hand.
notes: goshiki is⌠yeah.
He's driving faster on purpose. You swear he is. No, his cologne isn't clouding your judgement. Your head is perfectly clear, and just so happens to be tucked into the crook of his neck where the scent is strongest. No cause for misjudgment. Neither was the sensation of his leather-gloved hands grasping yours over the bike's handle when you insisted on trying to drive first, or the current feel of his waist pressed back against your stomach, or those same hands picking up the ones wrapped around him to press a kiss on the back of them at a stoplight. The snicker every time your grip tightens as he pushes the pedal isn't attractive. His tousled purple-black hair isn't something you want to comb through. The world feels too hot because of the sun (even though it has set), not because of him. You are fine. You are perfect. You are splendid.
You are losing it.
Someone get you off this thing.ďżź
Just had a road safety talk and am slightly traumatised.
So many of the horrendous accidents we were told about could have been avoided if they had just:
Driven the speed limit
Worn a seatbelt
Stayed off their phone
Not driven after drinking or taking drugs
Seriously. Just do these things and protect not only your life but also other peopleâs
this is for @i-love-all-books and anyone who is going to/is learning how to drive! The classes will give you a lot of the big tips, but there are some of the little things they gloss over that can still give you anxiety, so I'll share a few of the things I've learned from experience driving in a city with a reputation for bad drivers, so I've seen some shit /srs.
if there's anything I don't cover that you want to know about you're more than welcome to send me an ask or a message about it /g
note: i am not a driving instructor, nor do I claim to be. I have a provisional license and can legally drive without an adult present, something I do on a daily basis. I've been driving consistently for over a year. Those are my qualifications so you can decide whether or not to trust what i say. I can still remember a lot of the things that made me anxious when i first started, so if this helps anyone at all i consider it a success
start driving in an empty parking lot if you can. lots of open space and no cars to hit. you can go as slow as you need to, and don't be embarrassed about going slow. use the space to figure out how to move the car and how it turns, to look in the mirrors and starts leaning how to understand what you see
speaking of mirrors: adjust them a little farther out than you think you need to. you don't need to see the side of your own car in the reflection, you already know where your car is. This helps make your blind spot smaller too, but fiddle around with it (over several drives) until you find a position that you're most comfortable with
always signal when you're going to turn, even if it seems silly. it's better to give those around you more information than they need than not enough. Signal in parking lots, signal when there's no one around, signal even if you're in a turn-only lane.
break sooner and harder than you think you need to. I know i personally was very gentle on the breaks at first, which would lead to a last minute sudden slamming when I would realize i was going a lot faster and a lot closer than i should've been. It's also more comfortable to have gradual stops
you may feel pressured by other people close behind you to go faster. You don't need to speed for anyone else. If they're so impatient they can pass you. Only speed up if you legitimately think they're way too close to be safe.
speaking of space: i like to leave space between me and everyone else on road. I give extra space between me and the person in front of me, about four seconds worth of space (measure this by picking a landmark, start counting when the car in front of you passes it, stop when you pass it. use one-mississippi two-mississippi style or something similar).
more space: you don't need as much space as you think you do when changing lanes. signal before you want to merge over. you should be good without about a car or two's worth of space between you and the cars in the lanes beside you. Also, if you signal before you want to move, they may slow down or speed up to give you space to do so.
it's better to stay in your lane and just keep going than trying to pass others for speed. it just makes it more stressful, especially when you're new to the road.
the single thing that gave me the most control over the vehicle was driving down really long slightly winding roads, the ones usually on the outskirts of a city or in the mountains if you happen to live in the foothills like I do. this teaches you how to make really small adjustments to make the car turn--you won't need to turn the wheel as much as you'd expect.
how do you decide whether to go through the light if it turns yellow while you're approaching? it's less about what you decide and more that you stick to whatever impulse decision you make. if you decide to go through, go through. Don't change your mind, even if you think you should've stopped. if you decide to stop, hit the breaks, don't wait. (also, if i'm nervous the light in front of me will turn yellow, i keep track mentally what decision I would make where i am. For example, as I'm approaching i'll tell myself, "i'd stop here, I'd stop here," until i got close enough to say "if it changes I'd go through." That way, the decision is already made for me and i just have to follow through.)
figure out what makes you comfortable. i personally only like to turn on the turn lane closest to the curbs. For example, if there are two left turn lanes, i like to take the leftmost which is next to the median. this way, i can see where i'm heading on the other side of the intersection: the lane next to that median.
if you're at the front of the intersection, wait 2 seconds after a light turns green before you go. use this time to look to either side and make sure it's really safe for you to move forward. it's during those few seconds that someone would run a red light if they were going to
assume no one else on the road can see you and that no one is going to signal anything they're going to do. i don't drive with any part of my car beside any part of a car next to me if I can help it. I don't assume they're going to check their blind spots and see me, so i like to leave space for people to just move around me. be prepared for anyone to move anywhere and do anything. Watch the cars themselves, not just the blinkers. At least where I live, people will cross three lanes of traffick at once without signalling, so stay aware.
in regards to four way intersections, I don't think anyone knows who has the legal right of way. look at people's faces in the cars, they'll usually wave you forward if they're waiting for you to go, or you can wave others forward. Everyone just wants to get through there.
if you're going to be taking a specific route frequently, say driving yourself to school like I do, look for landmarks around when you need to make changes. for example, i have to take the interstate to get to school, and I need to merge two lanes over when i take my exit, and there are two bridges before that. so when i see a bridge, I merge. you can use this for turns, lane changes, whatever you need. just something to remind yourself what to do.
this one's not exactly a tip, but if you do more extreme driving more frequently, the simple things will become easier. Driving on the freeway consistently makes city driving seem tame and easier for me, so instead of being daunting its now a relief because it's not as intense
this has been most important for my anxiety: people assume everyone on the road is an experienced driver. It takes five years to be considered experienced. if you get honked at, if you make a mistake and are worried people are judging you, they're honking with the assumption that you have years of experience that you don't. it helps me to know they don't have all the information about me, so while I may have fucked up, their anger or annoyance is misplaced because they think i have experience I dont
fucking up is inevitable. you're going to make a mistake, and the best thing you can do is figure out what you did wrong and how to fix it so it doesn't happen again. driving is a learned skill, it's impossible to never mess it up and to always know what to do. i had to take a new route just last week and nearly missed my exit on the freeway, which made me panic and merge lanes when I didn't have enough space to really do it safely, so the person I merged in front of honked at me. they were completely justified. everything turned out fine, but there were things I could've done to prevent that that I remembered going forward. they're not going to remember it. you were just a brief inconvenience during their drive. they'll forget about you and go on with their lives.
these are some of the main things that help me with those little anxieties, but if there's something you're specifically nervous about that I didn't mention, you are entirely welcome to ask me about it and I'll do my best to answer you!!. I know driving instructors can seem intimidating and that they mostly cover the big things, so if I seem more approachable, i do have some experience driving and would love to answer the questions you're nervous to ask or that you think are stupid /g

The Victimsâ Game
â Essere vivo richiede uno sforzo di gran lunga maggiore del semplice fatto di respirare. â
The Victimâs Game è un drama thriller/ mistery made in Taiwan da soli 8 episodi che non solo consiglio vivamente, ma che ho trovato fatto molto bene anche se non mi ha fatta innamorare.Â
Nonostante la sua brevitĂ - data anche dai 50 minuti di puntata - riesce ad essere coinvolgente, carica di tensione, con colpi di scena e svolte interessanti ed imprevedibili lungo tutta la storia. Per un verso, mi ha ricordato il kdrama Tell What You Saw: câè un omicidio, câè una squadra di investigazione, câè un killer da acchiappare. la trama basic di questo genere
Tuttavia questa serie si allontana da tutto ciò, prendendo pieghe decisamente piĂš inaspettate e intimistiche, spostando il piano su unâaltra prospettiva. Non posso dire di piĂš per non spoilerare
Fang Yi Ren, interpretato da un magistrale Joseph Cheng, è un detective forense con una sindrome di Asperger, che mentre raccoglie prove di un brutale omicidio [corpo sciolto nellâacido...argh] scopre lâimpronta di sua figlia nel luogo del delitto. Figlia che non non vede, sente o ascolta da anni e che risulta sparita nel nulla. Turbato e spaventato da questa scoperta, inizia un appassionante corsa allâultimo respiro per risolvere il caso e ritrovare sua figlia.
A fargli compagnia, la giornalista dâassalto Xu Hai Yin ( Tiffany Hsu ) donna intelligente e sveglia e con una moralitĂ talmente bassa che Ditocorto di Game Of Thrones gli ha lasciato il suo posto per indegnitĂ .Â
* Forense , Sindrome di Asperger , Detective , Giornalista , Emarginato sociale , Autismo , Omicidio , Serial Killer , DisabilitĂ .Â
Questi sono alcuni dei tag che mydramalist inserisce per definire questa storia e che ricalcano perfettamente il carattere della serie: Fang Yi Ren e la sua sindrome sono un argomento, che viene toccato con bravura e sensibilitĂ e che permette di far vedere il grande impegno degli addetti ai lavori. Alla fine di ogni puntata, è presente un âdietro le quinteâ dove attori, regia e tutta la compagnia cantante, parlano dei loro personaggi, di come si sono approcciati ad essi ed alla storia. Si sa che dottori, psicologi, e professionisti, hanno dato una mano ed un parere sulle vicende della serie...e si vede. Tuttavia devo fare una nota a margine e sotto spoiler per quanto riguarda la malattia e la narrazione che mi ha fatto storcere leggermente il naso.
Un altro piccolo difetto che mi sento di menzionare, per me è stato nella parte narrativa, talvolta molto complessa e da cervello impostato su ON: i nomi, le dinamiche, le investigazioni qualche volta mi hanno costretta a mettere un attimo in pausa per fare il punto della situazione.
Tornando a Joseph Cheng: Lo avevo già visto in Drunken to Love You, ma qui si è decisamente superato con una recitazione davvero convincente. Il suo personaggio poi è davvero complesso ed è stato bravissimo nel portarlo in scena e renderlo credibile.
Meno sensazionale ma ancora brava Tiffany ( anche lei in Druken to love you) chiamata a interpretare questo personaggio a cui riesce a dare comunque uno spessore non da poco. E poi, lâho amata tantissimo nel finale.Â
The Victimâs Game è una serie complessa, sia dal punto di vista narrativo sia da quello riflessivo. Anche qui non posso spoilerare, ma vi basti sapere che la serie porta in campo i valori etici e morali di ognuno di noi, costringendo lo spettatore ad inevitabili riflessioni personali. Se pensate di vedere il solito drama crime/investigativo con un serial killer da catturare...beh, vi sbagliate.
La serie riesce bene a giostrarsi tra la parte narrativa e riflessiva, creando un prodotto unitario e ben calibrato e che non si appesantisce mai.
Belle anche le scenografie e la fotografia: cupa, scura. Perfettamente adatta al contesto che la serie sta raccontando. Â
VOTO: 8.3
Ok lo ammetto: passare 3 episodi a cercare un Serial Killer che poi alla fine manco esiste è stato...strano. Geniale, ma strano. Un colpo di scena che decisamente non ti aspetti e che ho adorato.Â
Come dice anche il Capitano Kang, non câè nessun omicidio ma siamo davanti ad un gruppo di suicidio assistito, dove persone senza piĂš speranza, si uccidono dopo aver espresso il loro ultimo desiderio.Â
Tematica forte, attuale e che spinge alla riflessione lo spettatore, mettendo in campo dinamiche emotive e valoriali di ognuno di noi.
Ho inoltre amato come nel finale grazie a Hai Yin, venga portata in scena la speranza: se la cantante non si fosse uccisa, gli sarebbero arrivate lettere dâamore dai bambini che ha aiutato e che avrebbero potuto farle vedere quanto in realtĂ fosse amata. Se lâassassino non si fosse suicidato, avrebbe potuto conoscere suo figlio, portarlo a scuola, fare i compiti assieme a lui. Se il ragazzo non avesse preso questa decisione estrema, avrebbe trovato sua sorella pronto ad accettarlo nella sua sessualitĂ ...
PiĂš che altro, al di lĂ della tematica, non mi aspettavo che la serie parlasse di questo.Â
Oltre che alla recitazione del due lead, mi è anche piaciuta la loro chimica e ruolo: dove Fang Yi, geniale raccattatore di prove, non riesce ad arrivare per via della sua malattia, Hai Yin interviene, coprendo qualsiasi mancanza relazionale del protagonista. E devo dire che sono stati anche simpatici.
Ed è forse per questo che la Sindrome di Asperger è stata inserita nella storia: riflettevo infatti sul fatto che la storia sarebbe stata identica ( parlo della parte narrativa) anche se Fang Yi non avesse avuto questa malattia. La Sindrome infatti, non mi pare che incida nella trama, risultandomi quasi un plus ultra. Che tuttavia ho apprezzato tantissimo.
Ed è qui che entra in gioco la lead, che con una parlantina da conquistatore ed una faccia tosta impressionante, riesce a instaurare legami emotivi e relazionali con chiunque, dando un aiuto non da poco al lead e alla sua ricerca della figlia. Devo ammettere che allâinizio non amavo particolarmente Hai Yin, ritenendola un avvoltoio senza morale. Fingere di essere una fan della cantante per andare dalla mamma della donna e riprenderla mentre piange disperata per la figlia sciolta nellâacido e farci uno scoop, non me lâha resa simpaticissima. Che poi, manco per amor di veritĂ , per informare le persone...ma per accaparrarsi lo scoop.Â
Tuttavia mi è piaciuto come lungo lâarco della serie, non solo si leghi emotivamente alle vicende del lead, ci diventi amica e gli dia supporto, ma si resposabilizzi nel suo lavoro.Â
Ultima nota, per quanto riguarda la parte narrativa. Per quanto io adori le serie fatte a puzzle, con indizi sparsi lungo lâarco della serie, ho trovato difficoltĂ , alcune volte, nel seguire tutto il piano delle persone che poi si sono suicidate. Non ha aiutato poi, che ci fossero due investigazioni parallele sullo stesso omicidio e alcune volte ho dovuto prestare grande attenzione.Â
