#COMPLAINT BOX ∞ (asks)

[inchidentally]

@ the anons I’ve accrued over this year who brought up Oscar not being embraced by the media team I’m still not going to post the asks bc there’s a lot of doom etc in there but like…

(and even tho it’s easy to find out who it is I’m not including who posted it bc do NOT want hate or anything in their comments and fandom issues =/= relevance to real life teams and their jobs)

“carland0 won the McLaren constructors… Oscar was there ig anyway remember when I staged a puppet show to commemorate carland0” LIKE SHSBSBVSBSBD

and I get that to a media person the subjects are mostly valuable for how good they are on camera bc even Andrea only gets a passing mention in this post compared to a bromance and he’s the actual architect that Lando himself says is behind this win - but he’s also famously deer in the headlights when a camera is on him.

it does possibly explain why the quality and quantity of McLaren content took a sudden nosedive not long after Oscar joined. (side note that Joe also moved on from McLaren early this year who was on the media team and spent a lot of social time with Oscar and posted him more) it’s a lil sad bc if you watch any of Oscar’s Prema content where he feels comfortable and friendly with the people behind the cameras he’s hilarious and willing to “dance” and yap and be silly. even in Alpine he was actually known by broadcast teams for being funny and a sardonic yapper and meme guy. but I think the McLaren ppl mistook Oscar coming into the team in the worst possible way PR wise and clamming up as a result as that being his real personality. Nicole saying how she wanted more people to see his real personality and ironically Carlos himself warming so much to Oscar despite the on track rivalry and not rly hanging out like… I hope the media team maybe start this next season fresh and realize that people who aren’t naturals on camera are still worth putting in effort to help them relax and be themselves. and if one of the people who’s been there for so many years put in that effort then it would have a big ripple effect !!

again I am not gonna post those asks bc a)do NOT support any harassment (however well intentioned) of employees just doing their jobs and b)in the grand scheme of things socmed does not matter and c)Oscar thankfully is blissfully unaware and/or does NOT care. he brings up Carlos and Daniel and carland0 totally on his own and he is utterly free of ego about his perception or presence in McLaren media.

and while it definitely means less Oscar and therefore landoscar content per capita or whatever the phrase is, the whole landoscar dynamic is that it’s so completely not slick fun millennial YouTuber ready PR content and they’re funny and cute and have their own unique chemistry even in the under 2 minutes allowed them for each video. and ofc Oscar has his own social media to put his dry humor and chronically online references <3

but as I saw in comments on a different post, Oscar might take longer to win over the media people but the people who matter most like Andrea and the ppl in the garage and factory and crucially !! the women working directly with him all utterly utterly adore him. he’s quietly there just being a hard worker and proving himself <3

and ultimately ofc the people who don’t like that Lando said he’s decided to not joke or perform as much for media (and saying he picked up from Oscar to just be himself and relax more) can always go back to the old content! and since Carlos creates the same fun bromance atmosphere with all his teammates I mean we all know Team Torque is about to become one of the best parts of race week media. Williams media team is going to eat him UPPPP

anyway yea none of it is deep it just got me thinking about how Oscar post alpinegate withdrew so much and so many ppl haven’t looked up who he was before to realize what a fun silly chatty kitten he is and that ofc he must be bc Lando holds him in his hand lovingly for a reason - and I do think when the ppl who got used to the Carlos and Daniel school of media warm up to Oscar and learn him more we’ll get that high res DSLR filmed content again instead of portrait iPhone instagram <3

(side note the whole thing if Unboxed dropping bc of DTS got debunked. DTS hasn’t stopped any other teams content and if it were true then Lando wouldn’t be allowed to make Landologs. this was definitely a media team decision made midway thru 2023)

fascinating recently to hear people including other biology professionals complain about how they feel like learning biology/taking biology intro classes had way too much boring memorization about random facts and that in fact all or most biology learning is about memorizing facts. because like... idk i did take lecture-based/textbook-based biology in high school but even then i never felt like the core of the thing was burdensome memorization?

there were definitely some things i committed to memory for a test and then dropped (e.g. i know i used to know a lot more about kidney anatomy or the order/structure of alternation of generations in bryophytes than i currently know, lots of terminology i've completely forgotten) but all of them had a sort of underlying set of... principles/ways things can be that fit into a picture of how biology can work and therefore eventually how it does work. like i don't remember kidney anatomy but i remember the general principle of using branching and folding to fit more epithelial surface area into an organ and that comes up a lot and lets you reason about when and why it's useful to have a lot of epithelial surface and what epithelial surfaces do. people get mad about it because it's not, like, physics (can learn a relatively limited set of math formulae that let you derive most things) or chemistry or economics (like physics but the formulae are kind of fake and people are deluding themselves a little about how true and generally applicable they are). but biology has a structure and a set of things that can happen and you can learn it deeply and well enough that you understand how to evaluate the probabilities of different things and how they fit together and what new information implies about other information

i'm just really perplexed by it because like. honestly i'm in this field because i had a really fun time learning biology and a really fun time discussing and teaching and coming up with ideas about biology and then i just kept doing it. and if people are really out here experiencing every Biology Fact as a completely discrete thing they have to memorize independently in an unfun boring slog.... well first of all i guess i'm vaguely surprised that you can have a biology research job while not connecting things together that way though that was probably shortsighted of me. but second of all i don't really understand why you would have ever bothered to do it because that sounds exhausting and really hard

*A printed message slowly slides itself from the cockpit’s fax machine.*

Hello Captain! Polle here! Have you taken care of things yet?

Have you Taken Responsibility?

For the sake of every member of the Tulpar Crew, GOD, I hope so!

- @polle-in-the-vents

Hm. Must be another fax from corporate.

Curly swiveled back in his chair, grabbing the paper from the machine with an air of nonchalance. He then held the note up to read.

“….excuse me?”

His eyes flashed back to the fax machine, and then back to the paper. The captain even read it again, just with shakier hands. What in the hell?

“Daisuke,” he called out, “if you’re messing with me, it’s not fucking funny! Stop messing with the bloody fax machine!!”

horror jjk au where sukuna and his team most likely choso utahime yozoru and uraume are assigned to influtrate a literal domain of hell that seems to be themed around raves and partying — the fashion is so distinct they stand out amongst others

large, bright mismatched colors with satanic related symboling on some of them. countless fur-filled leg warmers, shoes, coats the whole nines.

it’s a huge culture shock to otherwise well socialized sukuna ( technically he went from deviant; where he required his ear piercings -> rough correctional system; where he gets his tattoos from and then -> reintegrated into society only due to his physical prowess and he knows his limited freedoms can be easily ripped away if he disobeys his bosses )

* his bosses belong to a company that deals with supernatural shit by gathering prisoners who also are supernatural and making them hunt down these types of people for possibly lesser sentences

anyways once they enter the rave area, they notice the complexity of the domain and how it’s practically a city with large hotels and just more and more parties. it doesn’t help that they don’t know which people were just unfortunate enough to be caught in the domain and the spirits that have been transformed to look human

they spread out to garner more information after a near death experience with the bouncers for not looking like one of the monster ravers.

sukuna is the first one to reach the pit, he thanks his mother for his tall figure as he's able to shove to the very front of the pit.

then on stage he sees this beautiful creature with snow-white hair who's blue eyes seemed radiant against the neon lights. he's never felt more inlove and they almost make eye contact until sukuna looks down and notices that this white-haired beauty is wearing one of the hearts of the rave.

he's one of the sorcerer's he has to take out.

🌕: Ayo! Mod here! I know I'm not supposed to be here today but there's been a change of plans!

I thought I would be ready to answer asks like before, but I guess not, at least not yet anyway...

So I guess LateNight THE ASKBLOG not the character himself, is going on pause...again...

....I'm sorry 😞

[barrel-of-bones-and-brain-worms]

I just love how all the asks I've gotten since the box opened a few days ago go against my only ask rule. That's so fun

[lokestar]

new year, same bullshit

y'all really can't keep your ableism out of your fandom analysis, can you? you just have to drag personality disorders into this.

what i'm going to say applies both to the IRL treatment of people with personality disorders and fandom analysis, because the former affects the latter in such a blatant way that it's literally a miracle that people with said disorders are still in fandoms in general considering how hostile and vile the others are towards them.

newsflash, people aren't defined by their disorder(s), because they're PEOPLE and people have FACETS. a personality disorder affects said facets, but that's not all there is to it.

their disorder(s) also don't make them inherently evil, because 1) that's literally not how it works?? and inherent evil is not a thing?? and 2) PEOPLE HAVE FREE WILL. they have a disorder that affects them and can affect other people, but they're still free to choose what they do. they're people, not robots following a code.

personality disorders are not inherently evil either. like all defense mechanisms born of trauma (because they ARE born of trauma most of the time, but y'all will never admit that, cowards that you are), they can spiral out of control and become maladaptive. they can also get better with time, with the right support, in the right environment, however that looks for the person with the disorder. just like with anything related to trauma, it depends on many factors, both internal and external. acting like that is a moral fault, or inherent flaw of some sort that is to be eliminated and shunned is ableist and fascist behaviour (that's literally the concept of degeneracy, have you learned nothing??).

just because you can't comprehend that people can be affected by trauma beyond depression and ptsd doesn't mean you get to demonise them.

it doesn't mean that you get to equate them with being evil, murderous, sadistic, and similar terms.

that includes all personality disorders, by the way. all ten of them. not just the one you sometimes tolerate but are still quick to throw under the bus when it serves you. you know the one.

so do us all a favour and keep our names out of your mouths and your writing.

to those with a personality disorder who engage in this shit as well. do better. the non-disordered won't like you more because you chose to deride us with them. they'll put you against the wall with the rest of us in the end.

Literally might be a manifestation of Crowley’s subconscious in car form, so like if he thinks I’m sassy it’s completely his fault.
