blah blah blah put kimi antonelli in the williams and move carlos to mercedes blah blah blah

YOURE ALL WRONG

put kimi antonelli in the williams of ALEX ALBON and move alex up to mercedes.

brocedes 2.0 except theyre nice to each other and they care about each other and its not really brocedes even though theyre besties since childhood and in silver mercs.

because galex would be nice to each other. anti-brocedes. the opposite of brocedes would happen to them i think. and that would just destroy brocedes because that means for them that nico and lewis just did not have to do all that shit and were more willing to sacrifice themselves and their love for each other than race wins and it was all for nothing in the end.

it would be fun i think. loscar should do it too but they should unlock some secret third ending (im delusional abt logan sargeant redemption arc with cadillac. IT WILL HAPPEN PEOPLE) because loscar is just like, some other beast all together.

jealousy really is the driving force of DamiTim as a ship. love that for them. love how Tim has the Robin mantle ripped away from him and he has to suffer the jealousy of watching Dick and Damian bond. how possessive over Dick Tim can be, to have him stolen by Dick.

even more so though, is the jealousy from Damian. how on earth do you cope when you finally get to be Robin, a role you've convinced is your birthright, and no one really likes you? every prefers the Robin who came before you? Dick regularly reminds you that he can always go and call Tim back when you act out? like the complex Damian has over Tim is unreal. Tim, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had everything handed to him his whole life. he never had to struggle or fight for his place like Damian did. Damian has spent his whole life fighting and proving himself, and yet he can't ever seem to truly claw the mantle of Robin away from Tim. even when Tim lets it go, becomes Red Robin, they seem to share it. Tim can slip back into the role of Robin whenever someone like Dick or Bruce need him to, because *he's* the Robin who they need. he's the Robin who was able to find Bruce. he's the Robin that Ra's wants an heir out of. he's the Robin who even Jason respects. in Damian's eyes, everything Damian has fought tooth and nail for, was handed to Tim.

so of course he's going to react to Tim with violence and aggression, especially after finding out Tim has contingency plans for him. no matter how much Damian proves himself, he's never going to be enough, especially not to Tim. and so his deep refusal to see Tim as family, to acknowledge Tim's legacy is all driven by such an angry jealousy. Tim understands aspects of Bruce's legacy that Damian doesn't, like the need to sweet talk and play nice with the elites of Gotham, even if they're corrupt. they exemplify different aspects of Robin, and the aspects that Tim exemplifies are the aspects that Damian knows he'll never fully understand and therefore holds such a deep contempt for. he wants to fight criminals, not play nice with politicians. Tim understands the side of Gotham that's utterly foreign to Damian. if anything, he represents that side of Gotham, to Damian. a pretty little rich boy who's nothing but a know-it-all and not a real son of Bruce. he can't be a Wayne. he can't be Damian's family.

and all of that angry jealousy leading to unhealthy obsession turned a weird, angry crush from Damian is just my bread and butter. that is how DamiTim should be. to me. Damian obsessed over hating Tim Drake so much he accidentally ends up sort of in love with him and that only makes Damian angrier. because he can't prove everyone right by *also* liking Tim. he can't let Ra's win like that, because frankly why wouldn't Ra's be delighted by Damian and Tim getting together. and it builds and builds with angry passive aggression towards Tim that culminates in angry hate-fucking-that's-not-just-driven-by-hate. love and hate are always viewed as opposites in shipping and i think they're the same intense passion just in different directions. and for the best ships, they're very intertwined. what is DamiTim is not the peak of that. "i put so much of myself into hating you i had no choice but to fall in love with you somewhere along the way" core. love that bleeds into hate and hate that bleeds into love. "you make me so angry i regularly passively try to kill you but not with any real effort because who would i obsess over if you were actually gone" core. murder attempts as a form of courting. contingency plans to take each other out as a love language. they're unwell.

A true and 100% historically accurate account of Hamilton's first meeting with Andre

F1 pr is incredible.

What do you mean Charles " BLM is a violent Marxist anti christ organisation" leclerc is the best duo with Lewis hamilton. Did Charles show any sign of growing as a person or retracted any statement.

PRINCEMICK'S 3K CELEBRATION: for: @milflewis

[aoelustious]

the absolute funniest thing about me is how i write the most disgustingly shallow, painfully average, self-indulgent romcom garbage¹

and yet somehow i’m completely obsessed with gorgeously dark, deeply emotional, sharply tailored prose that rips your heart out and then leaves you bleeding on the floor²

like i dream of writing something plot-driven, something tragic, something political and full of betrayal and silent menace³

but nope. all i do is write “what if they drunkenly married in vegas” and “pls someone stop these idiots before they ruin their lives again” and “why do they keep making terrible decisions around coffee”⁴

i try to get serious, i swear. i try to build tension, to create meaningful conflict. but all i end up with is characters having 15 pages of banter about tacos and whether or not they’re ‘the bad guy’⁵

the darkest i ever get is when someone gets maybe tortured a little (and definitely cries a lot) and then they hold hands and it’s Very Dramatic™ with a side of guilt and 4000 words of awkward silence⁶

i’m sorry to the part of me that wanted to be a Serious Literary Author™. she’s been dead since the first draft. now i just write romcoms starring emotionally stunted idiots and somehow that’s my brand⁷

and honestly? i don’t even hate it. the chaos is my chaos. the mess is my mess. the endless "will they or won’t they" is my religion.

---

¹ aka: the plotless romcom hellscape no one asked for but here we are

² but only if it’s by literally anyone else, tyvm

³ give me cold political intrigue, quiet betrayals, and characters who say “it’s done” and you know someone just got offed offscreen

⁴ also includes but is not limited to: mysterious nosebleeds, accidental pregnancies, and 17 variations on “i hate you but also want to kiss you”

⁵ honestly these conversations are the only things keeping me alive

⁶ bonus points if there’s a fever and a slow-burn guilt spiral that never resolves

⁷ currently surviving on a diet of coffee, bad decisions, and emotional repression

@tundratoad fuck yeah I can

presenting my theory that the life of Joan of Arc can be aptly told through Florence and the Machine lyrics

I don't know how well this will be conveyed through text but just listen to the playlist and think about it. I swear I'm onto something here

(I'll put the other presentation in a separate post)

Jonathan Groff is so heinous to me personally for whatever reason, but I watched that clip and now I’m simply too seated. Category 5 fujoshi event about to unfold on my tv screen this Friday. Jesus H Christ.

i also had a weird irrational dislike for his vibe until i saw his chemistry in those promo clips with lindsay mendez and daniel radcliffe. and now his chemistry with ncuti in that brief clip has got me completely over whatever weird aversion i had. I am here for you Mr. Groff. I am paying attention to whatever your deal is
