this is actually like my third or fourth rodeo so i sort of get it but sort of dont

[rockyteriyaki]

started a bit with my dear sister about the potential ramifications of the disney partnership and it ran so far away from me

Max avoids his driver’s room like the plague.

Money has been put down on him being assigned to be Elsa, and Daniel of course being Anna with the matching Scandinavian braids. At first Max didn’t mind so much, because Daniel would probably actually like a wintery costume very much, since he is always cold everywhere they go, but the idea of being pretend sisters with Daniel has him dragging his feet all the way through the paddock.

Anyways stalling like this gives him time to inspect the rest of the grid’s corporate-sponsored, frilly misery. George has already donned his Belle costume and is banging on Alex’s door with his yellow-gloved fists, because Alex is Jasmine apparently and they have not granted him the same regal modesty. Kimi and Ollie are convened outside of the Haas building and doing something to do with seeing if they can rip their sleeves just by flexing, but both of their princess dresses are too forgiving for it, or they’re too skinny and teenaged for it to work. Their hysterical laughs echo off of the aluminum walls of the motorhomes.

When he passes the Red Bull camp for the third time, he bites the bullet and throws open the door to his room, like the white Elsa braid is going to be flipping around like a snake and lunging at him.

It is not, and there is also no white Elsa braid, or any glittery blue fabric to be seen. All there is is red pants and a black headband with the circle ears on it. Great. He has to be Mickey, the ringleader of this whole twisted operation. Simply perfect.

He puts the ears on cautiously and then, before he can take the rest of his clothes off, a heeled foot stomps over the divider into his room.

“Yoo-hoo!” Daniel says, and then does a weird laugh. “Hello!”

Max’s responding hello gets stuck in his throat a little bit, because Daniel has been put in a polka-dot skirt with matching ears like Max’s, only there is a big bow stuck in-between them. Daniel does a silly little spin, then a curtsy.

“Mickey has a sister?” Max says, once his mouth has stopped being completely dry.

“Nah, actually, I think we’re married,” Daniel says, kicking a leg up to adjust his heel, which also has a bow on it. “Rat married. Also, like, the evil bosses of all of the princesses?”

“Rat married,” Max says, staring at the waves of Daniel’s leg hair being perfunctorily slicked down by the nylon he’s wearing. And then, because he’s still unsure of the Mickey canon beyond his personal vendetta: “are we actually evil?”

“He looked evil in that photo,” Daniel says, referring to a picture of Max with a person in a Mickey costume that had gone viral because of how Max had been caught looking very, very disturbed.

“Well he is of course evil,” Max says. “But the girl one—“

“I have a name,” Daniel says, affronted. “It’s Minnie.”

“Minnie is nice I think,” Max says quickly. His eyes keep getting stuck on the little scallops of white under the hem of Daniel’s skirt, the ones that had flared out when Daniel had done his twirl. He wants him to do it again, but he doesn’t think Daniel will, even if he asks. “Minnie isn’t—she is like, oh, it’s time to stop being evil now.”

“Like,” Daniel says, pitching his voice higher. “You’ve been scaring kids all day, time to come home.”

With the heels, Daniel is just taller than Max. And he knows when the cameras come, Daniel is going to take his big heavy coat and wrap it around the dress and probably also take the heels off, because it is silly in the bad way that makes Daniel so twitchy and awkward. But right now he is standing here, and they’re rat married. Max is staring. Daniel is staring back.

“Do you think,” Daniel says, and his voice is still a little stuck with Minnie’s, hovering between girly mouse and Aussie man. He kicks a leg back again, and then clomps it back down. “Minnie stays home, yeah, while Mickey goes and does his thing? Like a Santa and Mrs. Claus situation?”

Max doesn’t get why Santa is part of it, but he nods. Daniel nods too.

“Yeah. I think she does,” Daniel says. “Stay at home, I mean.”

“In the mouse hole,” Max says.

“In the clubhouse, wow, okay. Have you seriously never seen that? Mate, you have to get dressed. Goofy is waiting to escort you.”

“I don’t know what the fuck that means,” Max seethes, and starts unbuttoning his pants.

re: this

Thirty seconds after he laugh-laugh-bicep comments, Max texts, It was Herbert no? You were Frank Herbert. Like the dune guy 😂

Yeah, Daniel was Frank Herbert. When he met Max at the fucking Idaho Falls Regional Airport Arrivals lane with a Franz Hermann sign, two jobs, one baby, and a lifetime ago.

“Daniel, we have to agree to it first,” Max had laughed. “I need to know I am Franz Hermann. I see this sign and I am like, Who is this guy? Never heard of him.”

Daniel wiggled his fingers under Max’s chin where it was soft and patchy. “He’s you.”

Max laughed, squirmed away. “And who are you?” He stripped the airport tags off his bags and crumpled them into a sticky ball he dropped in the passenger cup holder. Daniel had a case of Red Bull in the boot he felt too shy to bring out.

“I’m your driver…Frank.” Daniel started driving, as if to prove it, following GPS directions to Jackson Hole. Jackson’s Hole, Max had messaged, laugh-laugh-bicep. “Frank…Herbert.”

“I think that is already someone, Daniel.”

Daniel fiddled with his sunnies. “You’re already someone.”

Max just laughed, easy and unbothered by the 30 hours of travel he’d had to get there, even though travel always bothered him.

The road stretched out ahead, bright and endless.

Now, Daniel texts back, Maybe they got married, yeah? Our guys Franz and Frank. Coupla love birds, those two. He tries not to feel nervous; Max was the one who exhumed the ancient alias in the first place. Smarter than us, hey.

He stares at the two tick read receipt and imagines horses, geysers, a sky full of stars.

Key takeaways from the WillMack podcast episode so far:

Omg I can't tell these boys' voice apart. How dare they both be boys of a certain age and why can't one of them have more of an accent

However, I did manage to suss out that Mack punched a hole in Will's windshield because Will was taking too long getting new golf clubs?? And then Mack just, like, not having another side of the story. They both agree that's what happened. Though Mack does maintain that Will's windshield was fundamentally unsafe for cracking that easily.

Also he refused to apologize because he was going to pay for it.

Their favorite song is Pony.

By Ginuwine.

From Magic Mike.

At least that's how they introduce it.

Will HAS A DANCE TO THIS.

Neither of them could remember the words to it on the air. (Or so they said.)

They think the idea of wearing each other's suits is gross. Not, like, weird, or they wouldn't fit, but gross. Cooties, probably.

They never go out to dinner without each other, unless they have family in town.

They do, however, get tragically separated on the road sometimes if other guys are called up. This resulted in Mack missing out on the best hotel cookies, which were in Fort Lauderdale. They bravely took this in stride.

Mack (probably) was quiet when they first met at rookie camp, but he opened up quick.

They think Cat and Toff can't take a joke. It's possible they're actually joking a lot more of the time than it seems and they're just really deadpan about it.

Mack thinks Will looks like a donkey, which seems fairly accurate.

Will thinks Mack looks like a parrot, which is completely wrong. Mack is obviously a capybara.

They go to coffee shops to people watch (but it's not weird!!) either once a month or every other day. Unfortunately due to my voice blindness I don't know who was making which claim.

It may have been Toff who suggested that if WillMack moves in with him, Cat will have to leave. Toff begs to differ.

WillMack is going to discuss living arrangements for next year after the end of the season. That has now happened, presumably. We need them to go on another podcast so we can find out what happened.

I'm sure I have forgotten many magical moments. Please remind me at your leisure!

There’d been a whisper of a plan once. Most princes had someone – a flirtation during a summer hunt, an ally in battle, even a friendly correspondence. Someone a step above a stranger, who might make a bid, even for land that failed to thrive. “What was the plan, if you hadn’t drawn the grasslands?” Charles pressed. Alex turned his face back to the fire and drew his lips tight together. Lando snorted. “Obviously it was George. That’s why he’s fucked now.”
