Anyway my fast assessment so far: this will be long buckle up. Tldr readmore
1. The fast and the furious (2001): this is a recontextualised Western where horses are steel and men think they are also steel. There's a lot of shots of Brian and Dom gazing at each other wistfully, and a really long shot of Johnny tran's asscheeks clad in tight snake leather pants. The cars are fast and colorful and Paul walker kinda has the same babygirl energy as spn early seasons Dean who said that
2. 2fast 2furious (2003) the plot is a lot more boring than the first one, but that's OK bc there's Devon aoki in her pink car and pink outfit pink everything, and also both me and @rochastocade gasped out loud when we saw young tyrese gibson as roman pearce, that man is so smooth and ethereal and dust will never touch him.
3. Tokyo drift (2006) do not question why the main character suffers from the same issue as tobey maguire in spiderman, this man is a 30 yo sixteen year old. Halfway through we wondered why is the tag full of Han just eating snacks in the bg but honestly.... I get it. I understand. Perhaps the most swagful man in the franchise. Also the main guys best friend is literally called Twink I'm not making this up. Its fun and colorful and no don't think abt the plot too much.
4. Fast and furious (2009) I literally fell asleep during this one. This is the first one directed by Justin Lin and coincidentally also the death of horsegirlism in the franchise. There's a lot more guns and boring-ass army vehicles and less funtimes car racing. I genuinely do not remember the plot, they might have been in Mexico. Letty dies in this one but its OK bc she will come back later. Also points reduced for the boring name that makes me confuse it with the first one constantly.
5. Fast Five (2011) another Justin Lin production, another snoozefest. Which tells a lot bc a lot of people enjoy this one, and consider it pivotal for the franchise. I just really dislike the shift from fun street racing to guns and explosions. It's a heist movie packed with action and I was still bored 🥲
6. Fast & Furious 6 (2013) another boring title for another boring movie. This one's the final Lin production, thank goodness. They bring back some dead people, literally the plot was so irrelevant here. It's more big guns more boring cars. Where are my horsegirls
7. Furious 7 (2015) this one is a JAMES WAN production out of all things?? James wan of horror fame? It starts out strong, taking us back to a better time where the cars are fun and the girls still dress like it's 2003. It was fun, it was ridiculous, and it also managed to make me weep since sadly Paul Walker passed away while they were still filming, and his brother had to finish his scenes. They wrote him out of the franchise in a way that was very touching, without killing his character.
8. The fate of the furious (2017) props for the FUN name... fate... eight.... but sadly I haven't seen like a single car chase yet. The night is still young though.
And now for the real question, why the fuck are you watching these, liina? You don't even know how to drive? The answer is simple: yeah idk either, but I'm too committed to chicken out now. I still have a couple more to go so might as well.

Gen 8 - Part 8
Tartosa (Tartosa Duchy)
The Vakki Royal Family
Since its founding, Tartosa has prided itself in remaining peaceful and neutral in times of conflict. Advertising itself as the ultimate romantic getaway for the world, many have decided that it wasn’t worth conquering or making enemies with Tartosa or its royals. And life seemed to continue on in a blissful peace, until the First Invasion of Gen 8.
The Archduke’s wife, Leah Zakanagi, took her part in the fight on the front lines, along with the wife of Aoki Riku, Chaeya Faltal-Aoki. But Chaeya perished, and Riku wasn’t able to recover from the loss, and not long after the couple had their baby together. So, the Vakki family took Riku, their royal advisor, in to raise their two smallest family members together.
As Archduke Gianbatista Vakki readies himself to take the throne, he starts to wonder how long his family and his people can sit on the sidelines during global crisis, and wonders who’s side he should take and what fate is in store for his country.

Tartosa Life
Tartosa continues to be a peaceful, profitable, romantic destination that the locals take a lot of pride in. Everyone knows each other, and are welcoming to all outsiders whether they are tourists, or those looking for better places to spend their golden years.
Recently widowed former Queen Anahi Seindu came to retire with her husband and family, but Seth Bongrin decided to join the fight against the First Invasion of Gen 8, and was killed. Anahi, growing older with a growing family of children now wonders how to truly care for family alone with no money or power to back her up.
And hearing how Tartosa never had an army, coast guard, or anything needed to protect themselves, action movie star Dariux Beerloith, who survived in the First Invasion of Gen 8, wanted to start his own protective militia here. Everyone is skeptical, but The Duke and Duchess have allowed him temporary stay to build his army and put it to practice. If it fails, then the program is canceled permanently. Tartosa has done just fine in the past without an army.

Moonwood Mill (Independant)
The quiet woodlands of Moonwood have become havens for those looking to get away from the royal nonsense and live their lives. It has mostly been the home of werewolves, who were wary of strangers for generations, but have come to welcome the well-meaning settlers who respect their pack life.
Former star-traveler Miychiri Ohnaka, granddaughter of space pirate Hondo Ohnaka, did help fight the First Invasion of Gen 8, along with her father and grandfather, both of whom perished. She and her husband, Jacob Volkov, were badly injured and taken to staying in their hometown to raise their children.
One household recently changed their names to Sanguine, and have started a tea farm and apothecary. Spellcaster Roxana Sanguine seems to have unlocked the potential to change one’s occult status with no danger of death, but she has yet to prove if it works.

Britechester (Independent)
The two main institutions in this college town enjoy having anyone in the world come and study either in their halls or online for online degrees and GEDs. But some have made their home here. Professor Melnie Hakzar is the Dean of Britechester campus, while Kora Braie not only started a Paranormal course but became the head of the Federal Bureau of Spooky Investigation.
