Going thru the notes on my posts is gender affirming because it's often a whole bunch of people saying 'something is wrong with you and I enjoy it. I would like to study you like a bug in a jar' and I really do think that that is the ideal expression of my identity

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

i hope lando and oscar end up with the exact same amount of points and then they cross the finish line in abu dhabi holding a pride flag between them and then taylor swift comes out singing love story and then the entire paddock sings a rendition of no one mourns the wicked while burning a lifesize christian horner straw doll

All the talk about who's going to red bull and who's going to mercedes has got me thinking, and with much consideration I think I've devised the World's Worst Most Toxic F1 Grid, using only current drivers and teams. Walk with me.

Haas: Pierre/Estie. French Civil War pt. 2 plus the historic remnant of Kmag and Hulk and their old man enemies-to-lovers narrative arc.

Ferrari: Lando/Charles. Stay with me. I know you're all probably thinking, 'oh of course here's user finifugue with their charlando agenda' but stay with me. Can you fucking imagine the Lando fandom and the Charles fandom if they had to share Ferrari. Can you imagine. It would be carnage. Twitter would be unusable. TikTok would crash. Tumblr would enjoy some upscale prime-grade wagyu yaoi rivalry. Charles and Lando themselves would crash out at the notion of having to pretend to not be weird about each other. Fred would be laughing. I pray for days like these.

Aston: Lance/Carlos. Ideally with Carlos Sr. in a position of similar power as Daddy Stroll. Battle of the Nepo Babies(' dads). I think Carlos and Lance themselves would be chill, but I think Carlos Sr. and Daddy Stroll would start committing white collar crimes against each other. Interesting developments.

Alpine: Isack/Oscar. Sorry Oscar for putting you in the Alpine but I'm also not really sorry because it would be hilarious. As for you Isack, you'd have to deal with being teammates with Oscar in an Alpine. So you've suffered enough I think and I won't make you suffer further.

Mclaren: Kimi/Ollie. Now there's not a chance in hell either would end up at mclaren any time soon, but imagine. Two bestie rookies in the mclaren rocketship. This is psychological experimentation on my part, I have to admit - I want to see what a title fight would do to them, whether they'd manage or whether we'd see the Great Bearnelli Collapse. The caveat would be that mclaren aren't allowed to fire either mid-season. I want to see what happens.

Mercedes: Max/George. This is of course generally accepted as a) a terrifyingly likely pairing, and b) a terrifyingly terrifying pairing. I don't think they would last more than fifteen minutes before killing each other, and not even really in a sexy rivalry RPF way. All the enemies of Lestappen and none of the lovers, two guys who are genuinely convinced they should be the only driver prioritised in a team who, historically, is Not Good at managing in-team title fights.

Red Bull: Lewis/Fernando. Old Man Nation in the world's most toxic team imaginible. Run it back - and by 'it,' I mean Lewis/Fernando part 1, and I mean Vettel/Webber, put in a blender and whizzed until radioactive. I think the only thing that could bring back Nando and Lewis' sparks is pitting them against each other again in a team they both equally absolutely fucking hate.

Williams: Franco/Liam. I have not seen these two interact at all whatsoever, and I'm not really massively knowledgeable about them anyway, but in my head they're like oil and water. Their vibes are historic levels of unmatched. Their freaks diametrically opposed. Lawson also had that meme last year about hating the grid's spanish speakers and i thought that was funny and I want to bring it back.

RB: Alex/Yuki. Now this one was hard, because I think you could put Albon in a small room with a silverback gorilla and in fifteen minutes he'd be besties with it, but I'd like to put the Red Bull victims together in a Red Bull. Would the stress of it kill them both? Probably.

Sauber: Nico/Gabi. The light in the darkness. One single ray of happiness and gratitude in an otherwise horrifying grid lineup. I simply cannot bring myself to separate them. I hope they win the championship. They probably will, because every other team will crash into each other.

Charlando is such an interesting pairing because they are photo negatives of each other.

hello, I hope you're having a nice day! i finally summoned the courage to express my undying gratitude towards you for writing all those amazing fics after i cried no less than a dozen times to event horizon. this ask has no apparent purpose than to thank you for the gifts you have given to mankind so freely and to inform you that if you even find a way to make that one segment in event horizon on humans, love and space into an injection i can put into my veins, i would like it immediately, please. your writing is just. so profound and human that it makes me feel like my ribcage is collapsing upon itself when i read it (in a good way). i'm actually scared to reread death and other lies because i'm afraid i'll get a heart attack or something equally serious at watching the two idiots pine. i also could not thank you enough for boosting the sacrificial lamb economy by writing the dreamers of dreams. it is peak sacrificial lamb, and i will forever be in awe of how you balance the archaic writing/speaking style with the natural dynamic and cadences of the characters. when i started out reading your fics for the first time, with every new fic i read i always thought "this is it, this is the peak of fiction, i will never read another fic that would even match this" and then i click into another fic of yours and am once again proven gladly wrong. i could honestly sing praises about your fics for days and not tire.

anyways, have a great day!! sorry for the ramble :]

Aaaah ty!!! Event horizon was one of my more freaky deaky existential fics, so I’m glad y’all liked it (: (: (: Weirdly though, I’m kind of most proud of dreamer of dreams, even though it’s (iirc) my second-least read fic for f1, just ahead of the chicago-inspired one that even I can’t remember the name of even though I wrote it. It was a challenge to write, and i had the archaic english grammar forms wikipedia page open the entire time, but it was super fun to write in a style different from my usual 0:

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to do a whole lot of writing lately since I’m on holiday in malaysia and highkey have food poisoning which has meant I’ve spent most of my time recently either doing fun tourist things or suffering slowly kneeled in front of a toilet, but I’ll be home next week so I’m gonna try and get the next chapter of charming prince piastri out quick!!! Hopefully it won’t take me the entire gotdamn year to get it out this time, unlike event horizon.

Mwah mwah love you all <3

f1 The floor is all yours, Oscar... and (eventually) Lando and Charles too! 🤣👀

The trend continues i know my ragebaiting goat

Every now and again I'll think 'oh yeah I'm into weirdo loser freak kid fandoms anymore, I like Sports Games and I watch the New Cheerleading Documentary' and then a new fuckass mascot horror thing will come out and my inner twelve year old will start running around in circles and screaming

The thing I find most fascinating about humans is the way we create brand new complex forms of communication without even thinking about it - without even noticing we're doing it. Crouching in minecraft being the universal sign of peace and welcome without anyone at any point saying it is. The subtle connotational differences on tumblr between reblogging with your addition in the tags versus reblogging with your additions actively written out. Meme culture and how quickly it transforms, how globalisation and the internet has meant that people who don't even speak the same language can communicate through funny things they've seen on the internet, how we've reinvented heiroglyphs with emojis and memes. These are all brand new languages that people are learning in real time - real, actual ways of communication with unspoken rules and variations you've learnt without realising it. We're all multuilingual - we can speak meme, and minecraft, and we code switch based on whether we're on tumblr or tiktok or twitter, and that's just an absolutely fascinating evolutionary ability.

My Formula chapter 1

Hi my name is Charles Ma'rc Herve Perceval Leclerc and I'm the Ferrari golden boy (that’s how I got my name) my suit is red with blue streaks and white accents and I have endless green eyes like frog tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Senna (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Sebastian Vettel but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m an f1 driver but my neck is small and dainty. I have pale white skin. I’m also a dog owner, and I live in a magic city called Monte Carlo in Monaco where I’m basically the prince (I’m twenty seven). I’m a tifosi (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly red. I love Ferrari and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a red corset with matching lace around it and a red leather miniskirt, red fishnets and red combat boots. I was wearing red lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside the paddock. It wasn't race week so there were no fans, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them. “Hey Charles!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. Max Verstappen! “What’s up Max?��� I asked. “Nothing.” he said shyly. But then, I heard my dog call me and I had to go away.

2019 rookies are so happy married couple and their chihuahua who has a bow on its head and a desire to scamper off into oncoming traffic. you run into them when you're walking your dog and they're great conversation but their chihuahua kind of just gives your dog a side eye before it goes back to staring at the cars. also you are probably charles leclerc

Charming Prince Piastri: Chapter 2:

We meet Duke Horner, and Lando and the boys share a tearful celebration.

Hey that post I just made about F1 fic writers using horner as an evil villain was actually a warning. Here you go, fellas. Remarkably early given my usual updating schedule.

I guess that just goes to show how tired of event horizon I was, though. That shit was hard to write, no idea why. In comparison, this fic -- a relatively fluffy period piece with only a little bit of seriousness -- is a walk in the park so far. touch wood. don't let me regret saying that please.

I'm gonna be totally honest here y'all. I have no clue whatsoever where this story is coming from. I was meant to be writing the charli xcx charlando fic as my next big thing. Instead I've taken what originally was, like, a thousand words of nothing and turned it into 9k of something, and I have vague ideas where it's going to go but no particular plan, and yet the words are coming out of me like something words come out of real fuckin fast. I wish I could be writing my uni assignments like this. Instead I get racecar drivers being gay in the regency. How helpful.

Love you lovers <3

F1 fic writers every time they need a real properly irrideemable villain who's also super uninteresting: get me ginger spice's boytoy right now

Ty my love <3 me personally, I got into landoscar like many others before me through the lovely works of leafmealone and nyoomfruits, so if you're ever in need of some fic recs and somehow haven't come across them then I'd absolutely reccommend their work. I also love LOVE the works of debrief, whose AUs are absolutely to die for. I know you didn't ask for fic recs but I'll take any opportunity to reccommend them.

oscar: "being teammates with you is so fun."

Post cancelled. Lewis is all of these.

You only need two to be a world champion these days. Vettel is just an overachiever
