Brocedes lore
The reason Brocedes can never be replicated is that it was never just a sporting rivalry. Being childhood besties with someone means bonding your inner child with someone else's, sharing your hopes and dreams with them not just saying, "I want to achieve this" but saying, " I want to achieve this with you by my side." It's the way Nico goes out of his way to mention Lewis because it makes him real, it's the way he knew Lewis was holding his breath on his pole lap before Lewis even said it himself, it's the way he is critical about Lewis but can't stand it when someone else does it, it's the way Nico asked Lewis, "you're still flat out motivated, right?" not as an interviewer but as someone who knows Lewis is a fighter through and through, it's the way that was the only time Lewis looked at Nico and smiled because he understood Nico was saying, "I know you. I remember you. I know you don't give up," it's the way Lewis has a working relationship with Alonso who bribed mechanics but refuses to say Nico's name because being hurt by someone is depthless while hating someone can be defined, it's the way Lewis said, "and a better teammate," with regret lacing his voice knowing Nico was listening as a way of acknowledging the hurt was mutual after all these years, it's the way Lewis rarely calls anyone his friend but called Nico his best friend and then stopped saying his name at all when he got hurt, it's the way shutting out your childhood best friend means suppressing your inner child who never stops loving them. It's the way hating them is never an option because hate requires the absence of love but hurt can co-exist with said love. The reason everyone still talks about Brocedes is that we all know what it feels like to lose someone knowing it can never be the same again. Brocedes was never a simple rivalry, it was the embodiment of what it means to get hurt.

Okay I'm deep deep into the brocedes rabbit hole here and on ao3. But please do clarify one thing for me - I saw the AD16 press con and then I fell upon the Cannes 17 pictures of brocedes with Vivan? Where they did seem like they were getting on? How did it go from to now? Am I missing something in the timeline?
This took me 3 business days to answer cause I am deeply normal about them
alright sweet bestie anon... let's do a quick rundown of the post 2016 brocedes
january 2017, IWC gala nico had the post pregnancy (wc) glow, vivi had actual pregnancy glow, Lewis' questionable styling choices
Tumblr media
We know around March, Nico was in london and literally gout out of his car to RUN after lewis who was on a jog and they chatted a bit
Then in May, they were at Cannes!
Tumblr media
very happy go giggly
They even did a Mercedes event together where they were being reasonably charming, Lewis aired him on his German translations and Nico was in war crime denial ☺️
What I'm trying to state is even though fandom like to makes it out that they HATE each other -- they don't really? at the end, if you take lewis' final press con in 2016 he said he was proud of nico, all their childhood memories etc. nico has stated multiple times after 2016 he understood what lewis did in AD16 by slowing down and it was to win the race, so they didn't have any bad blood when nico retired. but the other thing to note is these were all professional events, work events even -- hanging around the millionaire gala events, and I'm pretty sure Vivian's presence (who has also known Lewis since she was 18) helped ease that. they were NOT like hanging out on their own, or being anything more than coworkers being pleasant at work events
now Nico followed Lewis on social media almost immediately after 2016, and has wished him for every WDC win

all of which went ignored, (this one kills me particularly, in light of 'we're not friends')
https://landoavocado.tumblr.com/post/635028012501450752/amgroscoe-baby-steps-fam-baby-steps which is the only one Nico didn't tag him in so he presumably found it on his own going through the lewis tag
There's a podcast with Prost where he sort of tells them to get the band back together like he managed to do with Senna, and Nico hesitates saying that someone needs to make the first step.
BUT
At the same time, at Niki Lauda's funeral weekend when the Monaco GP was happening and everyone was somber -- Lewis won... and remember Niki was hugely important for the current Merc success, as well as a mentor to both Lewis and Nico
and here's Lewis in 2019 spraying champers DIRECTLY at Nico Blobsberg https://inlovewithmullez.tumblr.com/post/185156306232/lewis-nico-and-champagne
I wish I could explain this event. i can't.
Look at nico RUNNING to save his cream coloured suit https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7w3TnALZf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
instagram
And then the besties took a selfie at Niki Lauda's funeral. none of this I can explain but it happened and we have to bear witness
Tumblr media
In 2019, when Lewis won his 6th title at the US GP, Nico came to his car and they talked about it (have a whole post dedicated to it here)
Here's Anthony talking about Nico and Lewis being teammates and keeping a picture of them unicycling as kids
Lewis has a thing where he won't publicly mention or acknowledge Nico but then at 2021?? they were at the same yacht in Monaco with Toto, Susie and others???
Tumblr media
which sort of makes sense they still hang around the same rich people circles and Monaco is TINY esp for millionaire circles
They can even have a nice little chat about pitwalls without murdering each other -- granted it's not a sky interview (is that better??? worse???)
Tumblr media
In AD 2021, Lewis also admitted he's a better teammate now, completely unprompted, when the question had been if he's a better driver now and that's the first time he admitted he might've been not great to nico too. And Nico was WATCHING and basically stopped functioning, with jenson live slug reacting. It's a Treat
In 2022 was Lewis saying how Nico's family had been the first place he'd stayed in Monaco (where he still lives now. same building as blobsberg)
And Nico saying how things are neutral, they share a lift sometimes where Nico takes his daughters to the pool and Lewis goes to the race track and how he'd never given Nico a present that he can remember but he did give his daughters! something!!! while Natalie Pinkham tries to play marriage counselor, and the definitive final word is "neutral"
https://bibibitch1308.tumblr.com/post/685806605859700736/ill-just-leave-this-here
Nico does commentary for Sky, where he's asked about Lewis a lot and despite what you may think about his bitchiness, most of it is very complimentary and clearly respects Lewis as a driver.
In 2023, Spain, Lewis name dropped Nico and how karting was some of his best years, and a year later he would be teammates with Nico (!!!)
And 2023 Spain, Nico interviewed Lewis who was p2!!! And they were both stuttering and giggly about it!!!!!!
Tumblr media
This list is by no means comprehensive but it paints a more accurate picture than the fanon idea they wanted to murder each other post 2016 (which is why seeing the 2017 pix can be bizarre)
Tldr; they're not friends, but they're also not enemies (not how it was at the peak of their rivalry) and they're still neighbours 😭

What happened in greece? I feel like I’ve missed a crutial detail in brocedes lore
Ah Greece... the home of The Prophecy...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lewis and Nico used to holiday together when they were karting teammates and besties, and Greece -- on a boat, under the stars, they promised each other they'd get into f1, become teammates, and be world champions. And they did. <3 after losing their friendship for it </3

i saw this on twitter and Ran to ur askbox…. would love to hear ur comments/criticisms as the resident brothercedes herstorian 🙏
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HuJgeX_yY1bX3BD-zcCb6sg-TGXgvwGBHWwpWgrY5Oo/edit?usp=sharing
oh WOW this is 50 slides... I will admit I was a little hesitant knowing it's from a twitter girlie but it is quite comprehensive and doesn't hate on nico. there's a lot of lore and I can tell it was made with love.
I will fact check that Lewis didn't delete all Nico tweets specifically, he deleted every single tweet before 2018 because of the scandal he had with his nephew wearing a dress. All the Nico tweets just happened to be before 2018 and got nerf'd too 😔 but they do exist on Facebook!
I think missing out on their social media, it also misses out on their friendship, ik karting is mentioned but even during silver war era it wasn't all bad at once like it's framed. i would spend an entire slide on the fact they Live In The Same Building!!!!!
2021 yachtgate (nico and lewis being on toto's yacht in monaco) is missing. hate hate hate the final slide of "lmfaoooo nico ACTUALLY admitted he did therapy for 2 hours to beat lewis🤣" like I personally don't fuck with mentioning it like that but nico's mental health is always seen as a joke by fandom. 2016 is also framed like nico gave up everything with the intention to beat lewis and retire which nico himself signed a multiple year 100 mil extension contract halfway into the season and it wasn't until crossing the finish line at AD he actually made up his mind.
i did like the race recaps! esp for newer fans I think knowing they both did crimes against each other is fundamental than the one crash in barcelona. I understand the point of a presentation is to get the major points across and not cram in every bit of lore there is, and it definitely does that! It's also for twitter girlies and an audience who may not be familiar with brocedes at all beyond DTS/fanon interpretation so it can be a cool, handy resource for that! they've put a lot of hard work into it so kudos to them
