RACE WEEK · 12:26pm Jul 2nd, 2023
And not merely race week, but sprint week!
I was sick with some sort of nasty vacation-acquired summer cold β still not quite well β so I didn't comment much Sunday or yesterday, but the Barcelona Formula 1 Grand Prix was a fun race. Verstappen (MAX MAX SUPER MAX) leapt out to an immediate lead and earned the third Grand Slam (pole position, lead every lap, fastest lap of the race, win) of his career. This was unsurprising, since he's the best driver in the sport today and the Red Bull is the best car.
Greetings and Salutations, my name is Wrex and this is my review. This review will be on a favorite of mine, 'The Little Pony Legend' a crossover between MLP and The Legend of Korra. Special thanks to MLPMekarm for introducing me to this storyline. This review will be only on 'The Little Pony Legend', 'Cutie Trouble', and 'The Little Pony Legend: Tales of Equestria'. In my opinion, this story is very well thought out. The way both group work together like the gears of a clock is beautiful. Just
You read that right!
I lied! Sunday's chapter dropped today because I'm an impatient idiot! I hope you guys enjoy this pivotal moment in our story!
This is going to be an exciting Formula One season!
First, I'm pleased to see the Russian Grand Prix cancelled. Big respect for Seb and Max for coming out against the race early, and to the FIA and the teams for cancelling. My only wish is that they'd made it clear the race was cancelled, not just cancelled under "current circumstances." πΊπ¦
Second, Long story short, the regulations are all new so the cars are all new. It's going to be exciting.
This week is Monza, "The Temple of Speed" and Ferrari's home track. We can expect the tifosi (Italian Ferrari stans) to be out in force.
I predict pain for them.
Hungaroring this weekend! My bois at Red Bull had some real problems in qualifying and are starting in the middle of the grid. This track is no good for passing, so I'm not feeling optimistic about today. The main reason to watch the race will be to see how (not if, how) Ferrari shoots themselves in the feet.
If I'm hoping for anything (and excluding a Verstappen win as unrealistic), it would be to see Norris take his Papaya to his first win.
(Note: I've decided that my essays are written from a Doylist POV rather than a Watsonian POV. Basically, its from MY POV rather than from Coin Flips)
On Cutie Marks.
The term "cutie mark" refers to the marking on the rump of a pony. Since MLP is targetted towards girls (although FiM has gained quite the large periphery audience), the name sounds cutesy. I'm fine with that. Coin Flip would probably call it a rump marking, because he's (most of the time) a stallion.
I live in the states, so well, sadly, even with places like crunchyroll, and a few others, its often easy to miss a movie, or series that gets not as much hype. Now, interestingly, i had no idea this was a game first, if looking was right. Sadly, it's not made it to states that well. But it was a movie I was amazingly interested in. Released last year, it never really bridged the gap, until I managed to stumble across it by pure accident. An hour and forty minutes later. I had cried, laughed,
"Stand back!" Blue said, adopting what he thought was a "tough" pose. "I am Lance! The Dragon Master of the Elite four! Face me and prepare to be defeated!!"
"No fair!" Red complained. "You always get to be Lance!"
"That's just 'cause I'm awesome!" Blue said frankly. "You can be the new guy... What's his name?"
"I don't wanna be Bruno!" Red whined. "He never wears a shirt! Lance has that awesome cape, and really tough Dragons!"
Hey!
So, I just published the first chapter of my story! I'm thinking of commissioning a friend for a drawing for a new cover! Check out Chapter 1 and give me some positive criticism? That'd be great! Thank you so much!
There's a saying in writing "Take from one source, it's plagiarism. Take from ten sources, it's theft. Take from thirty sources, it's considered a tribute. Take from a hundred sources, it's considered worldbuilding." Sometimes, when reading a fic, I find an idea I like. This post will be comprised of ideas I like, where I found them and who wrote the stories the idea came from.
Referring to my previous blog, you'll notice that I'm currently planning on writing a new comedy fic based around Twilight being sent back in time, and meeting ponies from Generation 1 of MLP. As such, I'm gonna... *cough cough* have to watch gen-1 episodes. Just from the intro, I can tell that it'll be a doozy.
Today was a bad day for Finnish F1 drivers in Barcelona. Bottas collided with Kimi in the first corners, making the iceman to collide with Verstappen. Bottas managed to get away in one piece, but the race was over for Kimi and Max. A young Kimi fan was literally devastated by the situation. What happened later on, really melted my heart. Nice move, Ferrari!
