Lando-Verse Masterlist

With great popularity comes... strange fans? Haters?

Obsessed people.

(Inspired by current circumstances this article focuses on someone who HATES Lando, yet writes entire articles about the man and everyone else contradicts everything they're putting down. Like in real life. Hehehe.)

(Am I laughing at the fact that this makes Crofty the J.J Jameson of this universe? Yes. Yes I am.)

Details down below.👇

Whelp- about 45 of you wanted more spiderman so you're getting it!

The Purple Section- like Purple Sector? Get it? Cause they 'bring the news faster than the rest'

I'm so smart.

And the date is Landos first win- simply cause I needed a date. Ha.

Lando collects bracelets as spider-man! And carries round a bag that he stitched into himself. One badge is himself, the other McLaren and one is a smiley face in reference to that drew hoodie he wore.

And the photo was taken by Kym Illman who is an actual f1 photographer!

Brooooo, I forgot I did this. This was like a year ago- my goodness. 28 hours and 13 mins according to the app. 129 layers. How has my iPad not melted? Fucking hell.

Bridgerton called. They want they want their costume back.

(I’m more impressed with the boots if anything.)

Hello my wonderful stars!

I’ve been on a Spider-Man Lando grind and I both apologise and am not sorry. My bad.

Anyways I have quite a few more spider-lando ideas (got more characters to introduce 🤭), to help flesh out the universe, but I’m curious if you guys want more of that or if you want me to draw more of my “fantasy-esqe drivers” series. (Which can be found in the ‘drawing the drivers hashtag)

Lando-verse Masterlist

Ugh! Don’t you just hate it when a spider bites you and now all your clothes don’t fit. 🙄

(And you got cool superpowers. But whatevs)

(I gave up with backgrounds. Backgrounds are my no.1 enemy👊)

Detail mentions below cut!!!

The spider bite that is healing real quick + bracelet with Lando’s Monaco lap time!

Hello kitty pjs (honour of Peter Parker 🫡. And I just wanted to acknowledge my drawing of abs. Don’t do them often.)

Champions University jumper! The uni I made up for this au.

Ripped remains of comic that got stuck to Lando’s hand. Ooohhh superpowers.

[bellenotthebeast]

Max’s au rival is George. I’ve decided. It’s a side plot.

Might do a mini comic.

(Low-key… Think I’m getting better at this.)

Lando-verse Masterlist

Lando gets pretty beaten up outside FIA headquarters. Someone helps him before the police arrives.

(Max’s mouth is covered to show how he moves in silence whereas Lando’s isn’t cause he is open and vocal. Showing they’re opposites… but united under one common enemy- the FIA.😙)

Honourable detail mentions below cut.

Redbull logo as a badge!

And of course he’s dressed in redbull colours- when is Max ever not in redbull apparel?

His suit glows! (Finally figured out how to get a glowy effect lol. Suits inspired by his reverse helmet!)

And of course his emblem has a hidden 4 in it. Naturally.

Lando-Verse Art Masterlist!

(All of my Lando-Verse art in one place. With more to come! Because this Spider-Man au is eating away at me. Help. Don’t hate me.)

(Yes there’s lore. I like stories!)

————————————

Champion’s University: The Formula to be the One.

The day things got weird🕸️

“Let’s go skate at this abandoned building!” Max said. “It’ll be fun!” He said. “We can race!”

That abandoned building turned out to be home to an escaped experimental spider- that then proceeded to turn Lando’s world inside out with nothing but a small bite.

“It’ll be fine.” Lando said. “I’ll sleep it off after studying.”

…life is never that simple is it?

Spider-Selfie📸

New suit, who dis? Lando Norris by day, studying at Champion’s University, and Spider-Man by night, saving the good citizens of his city. Nothing like a good ol’ selfie before patrol as the new Spider-Man.

What could go wrong?

Number 1. Fan📰

Nothing like grabbing a newspaper on the way to- oh? Mm. Some people don’t seem to like Spider-Man much- they despise him so much in fact that someone actually writes article after article about him. The only place Lando’s living rent free at the moment is in their mind.

Wonder if they has a podcast?

Physics Class🌌

Doodling and listening to music in class is no way to go. But Lando just wants it to be over to go on patrol! But his teacher is making the class sit through a space documentary. Painful times.

His spider-senses are tingling though- the FIA might be up to no good.

A New Companion Named Jolli - Coming soon

Early Morning Investigating🧐

(Featuring Oscar P. and Max F.)

After patrol Lando must find out more stuff about this mysterious FIA organisation. Thankfully his friends- Max Fewtrell and Oscar Piastri- are here to help. And under the glow of the street and traffic lights from the outside world Lando gets a message from an unknown number.

Seems someone might be able to help with his FIA problem…

An Unlikely Friend🤕

(Featuring Max V.)

Following up an anonymous text message about the new organisation, The FIA- Lando finds himself in a bit of a predicament. He’s been set up! Luckily a new ally is able to help him in the nick of time before his identity is revealed and the police show up-

Doesn’t seem to appreciate Lando’s sassy commentary so much though :(

[bellenotthebeast]

Hi! Just wanted to say your art is absolutely incredible!!

The lando-verse you are doing is just so *chefs kiss*

like it's actually so insanely good, you are so talented

Can't wait to see more of your drawings!!!

Heheehe. Y’all are too nice!!! I’m giving kisses to all of you🥺

(And don’t worry, there are more coming 😉)

[bellenotthebeast]

Both a MCL artist AND a DC artist?? Were you made for me specifically? Your art is amazing :D

This makes me so happy!! Ahaha. I’m glad you like it 😌

Cause there’s no way I’m stopping lol. The thoughts are clouding my head😩

Lando-Verse Masterlist

Little bit of FIA research after patrol with the boys.

Not sure how I like it tbh. Definitely gonna revisit every now and then for touch ups but my iPad is dyingggg rn.

I hate backgrounds.

(This took 17 hours. ;-;)

Mentioned Details below cut

Pile of clothes shedded from patrol as if Lando JUST got back.

Pile of papers with notes. Max’s laptop also has a blue screen that’s supposed to act as programming, as if he’s looking into something deeper.

University poster with motto and emblem.

University hoodie + sweater (as also seen on Max) with emblem. The flags are of course to represent F1 but also since the university is called Champion’s University it works as a finish line to be the best, ya know?

Lando’s mini helmet and McLaren car!

And a comic with Charles memes ‘cus why not?

[bellenotthebeast]

Ya heard me😌

They got their glitter pens and everything. Kicking their feet.

I’ve recently have come to the realisation that if I read every hate comment like a Wattpad y/n trying to be different- it is the funniest shit.

“I uh- I actually *bats blue orbs cutely* don’t see the hype about him.” *bites lip like Bella Swan*

Or

“Um- I think it’s just the car.” *Glances down at book with hair done up in messy bun.*

Like just imagine the burliest toughest guy with a bushy beard, giggling and fantasising about said driver noticing them and thinking “Wow. They’re not like the others😍”

I’ve now solved hate comments.

This is me rn:

And this is apparently you guys:

Lando-verse Masterlist

The Lando spider-verse continues!

Poor Lando has to endure a boring presentation-

(Featuring a Danny drawing I did😌)

(I’m having fun doing this actually- hope you guys like it! The bracelets were fun to do!)

Detail mentions below cut

McLaren logo and headphones! With papaya coloured spider-verse like squiggles.

Friendship bracelets! That he most likely made when he couldn’t sleep.

Danny drawing ofc but also class notes that he clearly got bored of doing and started doodling before turning over a sheet and drawing Danny.

Mirror-ball topper like his Miami helmet with his keyring merch that he sells. And a McLaren top!

Can’t swear :( even in his own head lol- wonder if the FIA would fine him😂

[bellenotthebeast]

Heyyyy so I’ve seen a lot lately and I wanna throw in a little something. You don’t have to listen but I’d like you to.

I’m thankful that I have quite a ‘you control the media you consume’ mindset. You know- I say what I want, I respond to what I want and I ignore what I want. Because I can. It’s my account, it’s my phone and it’s my time out of my life.

And I’d like to help more people take on that mindset.

Ignore them.

You responding to the rage bait and to the haters is only giving them more things to hate on you (and unfortunately the rest of us) for. And even more unfortunately not only does it give the fans a bad rep but the drivers too. Which again- feeds the hatred.

Rage bait exists to drive up interaction. You’re giving them what they want and in turn it only increases the amount because it works.

They’re playing you like a mindless puppet unfortunately. But you and I both know there is a person behind this screen who can think for themselves.

It’ll take some time but eventually they’ll stop and go because you’re on a different ‘for you page’ or perhaps they all got bored and moved on. And all you’ll see is people talking about the hate. Or no hate at all. And let me say- it’s so much better.

Your social media is catered to you and you only. The algorithm exists because it wants you to be on the app for as long as possible. You responding to stuff you don’t like is only going to send more things you don’t like your way. You’ve been scrolling for hours, you know how it works. Just scroll.

The block button exists for a reason. I promise you won’t miss anything important if you block someone. The internet always talks. If you don’t like someone they probably won’t like you either so do both of you a favour and block them.

Let the haters and rage baiters play themselves. While we’re thinking of the positives and having fun.

Because they’ll know at the end of the day- we support who we want and they’ll be thinking about the person they absolutely despise rent free in their own heads.

Let them get mad.

[bellenotthebeast]

Happy May the 4th Fuckers!

May the force be with you! And me- and Lando. Number 4 seems to be doing good, let’s hope this race goes well.

Hi. Welcome to another episode of- IM PROCRASTINATING AGAIN!

*ahem*

Star Wars au anyone? Tempted to draw Max too.

The FIA is Palpatine. Or the dark side in general.

[bellenotthebeast]

Reblogging this because the amount of official and big names accounts I’ve been blocking because they’re rage baiting and fuelling everything that’s been happening is actually so fucking insane.

What happened to good PR and media literacy???

🤏So close to writing an essay called ‘Little Miss Formula one and the art of miscommunication and misinformation.’ Maybe I’ll start that soon.

Also this entire years been really shitty to me personally already and my one escape is also shitty. What the actual fuck.

Who did I piss off so badly???

Hello.

I want you to listen. Don’t scroll away because of the buzz word ‘Lando’.

Listen.

This has gone beyond hate for Lando. This about all the drivers.

This is about treating drivers respectfully. This is about your parasocial relationships with the drivers. This is about you reading into everything they say.

This is about the F1 media taking clips out of context because they don’t want a race they want a drama.

This is about you taking those clips and not bothering to find the original source, and taking it to fuel a hatred for someone you don’t know.

This is about you hating on a new driver because you miss the old one.

This is about you sending hate to fans of a driver you don’t like.

When I dislike something I scroll- I ignore, because it’s not worth my time. Why should I let the social media algorithm think I like the video because I watch it? I block a person I dislike. I don’t go onto their account and spend time out of my life to comment.

But unfortunately the amount of hate I’m seeing it’s getting hard to ignore it.

Haters and fans. Opposite end of the spectrum, still on the same spectrum.

You’re still thinking about the guy you supposedly hate. You talk about him under other driver related posts, you make it your entire personality.

You make it toxic.

The difference in drivers is what makes the sport fun. I’m friends with people who have other favourite drivers. What we do is we talk about the race. We talk about how their driver did really well and what mine could’ve done better. We have fun.

Because it’s the sport that bonds us.

I don’t send death threats to them. People have become so obsessed with other peoples lives and it shows.

A driver can’t say he feels lonely without getting jumped on for it. A driver gets asked his opinion after a high adrenaline race, one he feels he didn’t do well and he sounds a little bitter. Of course he’s going to. Yet you read into it.

He celebrates and you read into it.

And then dislike them when they decide not to do anything anymore.

You criticise them for the mistakes they’ve already owned up to and refuse to even acknowledge the good they’ve achieved.

New fans get scared to join because they worry everyone will hate them. Which kills the sport in turn.

Lando. Max. Every single driver on the grid do not know you. And you do not know them. You know of them. You do not know them.

You do not know what they do or who they are the moment they’re away from the cameras.

You do not need to like a driver. Nor do you need to dislike them. I don’t dislike drivers, I just have drivers I favour a bit more than others. Because why would I hate them?

I dislike some of the things they do- during the race. Of course. I’m bitter after a race doesn’t go well. I’m a fan of the sport.

But that’s as far as it goes.

I do not care for their personal life as it’s theirs, nor do I care for what minuscule thing they’ve done.

If you don’t feel called out, then good- I’m not talking about you. You’re the good ones. If you are feeling ‘attacked’ then perhaps it’s time to rethink what you want to spend limited time, that is your life, on.

We only have so many minutes in our lives to actually live. So live it. Don’t spend it on hating on others.

Good day/night. 😊
