Today is rainy and I felt like studying at home. There have been street sweepers outside so the streets are no longer lined with a carpet of mulch.
Anime friends:
rantinan has just shown me
the worst resin kit of all time. I have seen kits that are more explicit than this, but nothing with these levels of OH JOHN RINGO NO. Not even the figures of Kyon's sister in playboy bunny costume match this. It's that scene from the opening of End of Evangelion. In resin kit form. NO. Yes, it is an iconic scene and a defining moment in anime history. That doesn't mean a model of it is a good idea. Jeez.
So! After that disturbing moment, hello to new friends from Top Gear Slash! I don't write much fic and currently my RPF filter is kind of full of music fandom spam, so instead, to say hello, I bring you mini-picspam.
Bikes are serious.
Is James convinced that bikes are serious?
Possibly James is more interested in Richard than the bike? I would be.
Richard makes me smile.
Though I think it's the combination of Richard + bike that is particlarly special.
For varying values of 'special'.
This seems like a good time to mention one of my favourite smut fics,
Even Dirty Has Layers by
halotolerant, in which Jeremy and Richard have sex in an airport bathroom while waiting for James and the Stig to turn up.
Hey, you know what else has Richard on bikes?
Vietnam!
Of course, the Vietnam special has everyone on bikes.
Richard's particularly excitable about it though.
Which is the opposite to how he feels about the food.
But he likes his new suit.
You know what else makes Richard happy? Jeremy being happy!
Jeremy won't admit to being happy, but Richard knows it's true.
What does make Jeremy happy is painting Richard's bike, although this doesn't make Richard so happy.
Plus, I'm not sure if it strictly counts as a bike any more, but I have to include Richard on his home-made amphibious bike-based watercraft.
Lastly, I couldn't do a Richard-on-bikes picspam without including everyone's favourite sequence of Richard trying to fix his bike...
And then falling off it.
Because as someone said, eventually he had to give in and eat something.
