nothing will ever compare to watching formula 1 on 12.12.2021. lewis not returning the position. the resignation that max did all he could but was just out of luck. all of us accepting that he did his best. checo slowing lewis down and eating up every free second lewis had. latifi spinning out. the safety car. crofty saying that some cars will be allowed to unlap themselves, but not all, that we will have one final lap of racing. toto SCREAMING on the radio. literally every single max fan holding their breath as max sends it down the corner. the screaming. my god, the screaming - thinking it was alex on the pit wall losing his mind for months. watching people come up to max. watching lewis' father console lewis. what a day. what a race.

When a Character is Hiding a Secret That’s Eating Them Alive

Secrets change people. Not just in what they do, but in how they exist. When a character’s carrying something they can’t say, whether it’s shame, betrayal, a buried truth...it changes how they move through the world.

✧ They get good at changing the subject. Every conversation has an escape hatch. They’ve practiced. A joke. A question. A nod in the other direction. They can’tlet anyone get too close to the truth.

✧ They seem distracted, but not in a dreamy way. More like they’re always watching the door. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop. They’re in every moment and somewhere else at the same time.

✧ They start talking less. Not because they’re mysterious, but because every word is a risk. One wrong sentence and it could all come undone.

✧ They keep their emotions on a leash. Joy? Contained. Anger? Controlled. Grief? Managed. If they lose control of one feeling, others might follow. And that’s too dangerous.

✧ They lie, badly. Not always in words. In tone. In eye contact. In overexplaining. You can feel the desperation in how hard they’re trying to sound casual.

✧ They dream more and sleep worse. Secrets don’t sleep. They come alive in the dark. In dreams. In half-conscious whispers. Rest becomes another battle.

✧ They can’t stand silence anymore. It’s too loud. It leaves space for guilt to crawl in. They start filling it with music, chatter, background noise, anything to drown it out.

✧ They crave honesty from others. They’ll press other people for their truths. Their stories. Their pain. It’s not malicious, they just want to feel what it’s like to be free of what they’re carrying.

✧ They flinch when someone gets too kind. Because kindness is disarming. It feels like someone looking directly at the truth and loving them anyway and they don’t believe they deserve that.

✧ They want to confess, but don’t. Not yet. Not until it’s safe. Not until they’re sure the fallout won’t destroy everything. But they’re so, so tired.

Revenge of the Sith | Deleted Scene | Obi-Wan Visits Padmé

“I am not blind, Padmé. Though I have tried to be, for Anakin’s sake. And for yours. Anakin has loved you since the day you met, in that horrible junk shop on Tatooine. He’s never even tried to hide it, though we do not speak of it. We… pretend that I don’t know. And I was happy to, because it made him happy. You made him happy, when nothing else ever truly could.”

The deleted scene of all SW deleted scenes! The one that the PT fandom would give anything to see but probably never will due to Disney’s anti-Prequels policy: The moment Obi-Wan Kenobi officially admits that he is Anidala shipper and wordlessly confesses that he really does love Anakin Skywalker!

“You love him, too, don’t you?” When he didn’t answer she turned around. He stood motionless, frowning, in the middle of the expanse of the buff carpeting. “You do. You do love him.” He lowered his head. He looked very alone. “Please, do what you can to help him,” he said, and left.

It reveals so much about the relationship between the three, long-time friends, and sheds new light on the complexity of it, but most of all it reveals the extent of Obi-Wan’s love for Anakin when he openly admits to Padmé he has known about their forbidden relationship from the beginning and that not only has he tacitly allowed it but also silently supported it for all those years! (It’s something that got almost completely lost in ROTS, aside the tacit acknowledgement of Padmé’s pregnancy.) It explains so much about his behaviour at the end of AOTC when he sent Anakin to escort Padmé back to Naboo despite the fact that he knew better than anyone else about the possible consequences. It explains his behaviour in the hangar—it’s the moment when he chooses Anakin over the Jedi Order and decides to give him the only thing he knows that can make him happy, Padmé. 

Considering he spent all his time with Anakin, Obi-Wan must have been blind not to notice him mysteriously disappearing and the sudden addition of R2 as their new teammate. Though, I’m sure the pragmatist he was Obi-Wan must have thought he still got the better end of the bargain since he didn’t need to listen to C3PO’s statistics on how low his odds of survival were. The saddest thing about it is that Anakin never realized that his friend knew nor how much he was loved by him or how fiercely protective and loyal he was. Just the mere fact that he, the stickler for rules, cared more about Anakin’s happiness and well-being than the Jedi and all their dogmas. What makes it even more special is that his visits follows the moment he told Anakin about his mission to spy on Palpatine, so him going to Padmé was the direct result of it, because Obi-Wan knew how much it hurt and disillusioned him, It shows that Obi-Wan understood Anakin and recognized how much different he was from all the other Jedi and he ACCEPTED HIM, EVERYTHING OF HIM, instead of trying to change him. It’s obvious he wanted to protect his singularity and happiness because he loved this complex, flawed man with all his flaws and weaknesses.

“I was very happy to learn of his appointment to the Council.” - Padmé

“Yes. It is perhaps less than he deserves—though I’m afraid that it can be more than he can handle.”  - Obi-Wan

Futhermore, though it is short, this is such an important and private moment between Padmé and Obi-Wan - her husband’s best, and probably only, friend, the closest thing to a brother and a father he had, the man who loved her son and protected him him from the shadows even after he sacrificed himself to save him and his sister. Which was so fitting because in that way he repaid Anakin all those times he had saved his life. Also, it would be awesome to watch Padme’s reaction at hearing Obi-Wan speak about the depth of Anakin’s feelings for her, because here was the man who knew him the best and he was telling her how much and openly her husband loved her, because for all she knew, no one but a couple of droids, a priest and a handful of people loyal to her were aware of her love affair with the Jedi Knight and she no one to confide in about her private life.

Finally, the final part of the scene when Obi-Wan receives the message from Mace Windu about Grievous’s whereabouts reveals the sheer hopeless turmoil Padmé had been living through during her marriage with Anakin—that their time together was limited and that her husband could be called to war any moment and taken away from her.

When a Character is Falling in Love but Doesn’t Trust It

Love is terrifying. Especially for characters who’ve been hurt, shut down, or raised to believe vulnerability is weakness. So when they start falling? It doesn’t look like a Disney montage. It looks like panic in slow motion.

✧ They start noticing everything and it unsettles them. The way their voice cracks when they laugh. The way their fingers tap when they’re thinking. These little details burrow in and refuse to leave. And that awareness makes the character feel exposed.

✧ They become hyperaware of their own body. Where their hands are. How close they’re standing. If they’re blushing. It’s like being inside a body that’s betraying them constantly.

✧ They act a little mean. Not because they are mean. But because being cold is safer than being real. Sarcasm, distance, teasing, they use it like armor.

✧ They hate how much they want to share things. They’ll see a funny meme and instinctively want to send it. Then stop. No. Don’t get attached. They want to tell them about a childhood memory, then bite it back. Too personal.

✧ They become inconsistent. Warm one moment, distant the next. Showing up, then pulling away. They’re testing how much of themselves they can reveal before it feels like too much.

✧ They assume the worst. They know it won’t last. That this person will leave. That they’re misreading everything. Love doesn’t feel safe, it feels like a countdown to pain.

✧ They self-sabotage. Pick fights. Flake on plans. Pull away emotionally just to “protect themselves” before it goes wrong. It’s tragic and messy and real.

✧ They notice silence more. What wasn’t said. A delayed reply. A joke that didn’t land. Everything becomes a sign that maybe this love thing was a mistake.

✧ They want to run, but never do. The desire to bolt is constant. But they don’t. Because something about this person is pulling them back, despite every warning bell going off in their head.

✧ They don’t trust the feeling, but they keep falling anyway. And that’s what makes it beautiful. And heartbreaking. Because they don’t want to fall. But they do. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the bravest thing they’ve ever done.
