who should i send to flavortown

[valyrfia]

so rough summary of lestappen without dates because im not that knowledge

so born same year. 13 days apart, both libras

started karting, met there, famous interviews , the famous inchident,

max went to single seaters (? like f3 if im not mistaken, again dont really knowledged about the actual motor sport periods that they went through)

charles remained in karting longer (1?2? years)

max got into f3 then straight to f1 in 2016 so they kinda didnt have tangents till charles came to f1 in 2018

at first, like in charles' rookie year, they were like not really friends? but they were talking in interviews about their karting days and whatnot so they were acknowledging eachother but never more than 2 sentences in an interview or a quick chat in the paddock

now, 2019, whole another story

in 2019 charles got to ferrari so he was in a more competitive car (illegal but still competitive)

so they had some fights on the track

most notably, austria 2019, imo the moment lestappen actually started (well the inchident can also be considered a start but i think austria 2019 is more, hm, important? a spark formed there between them so)

so austria. austria would have been the race where charles would have gotten his first win in f1. the place he could prove he deserved the seat at ferrari. but it was already doomed when max made his appearance. i cant recall correctly what happened, and honestly i dont care who pushed off track who and who was in the right, all that matters is that charles was pissed and furious while looking so tempted to murder max on the podium.

charlie boy didnt even spared a glance at max when he was celebrating with champagne, on top of the world, he literally left stomping away.

the thing is, its funny how 2 grown man, who knew each other for such a long time, acted so childish, charles being so annoyed and max being so stubborn and not admitting that he could have done wrong

naturally, they unfollowed eachother on instagram. you know, like adults

but the real and actual hilarious part is that after the race, they both went back home (monaco), in the same plane, so you can guess that there was, aham, tension

but anyway, later that season, charles got his wins and max was getting whatever he could (2019, not a really good year for redbull but what can you do)

2 salty grown man who could hold grudges only like childhood acquaintances

this weird tension and rivalry got to a point where, when in the pandemic, when every driver was doing streams on twitch while sim racing (including these two), they got to play together at some point. the drivers were planning virtual races with eachother, and playing games with eachother. everyone got along and it was all fun. our 2 main characters werent exactly on speaking terms so in most cases they would ask lando to send eachother messages and memes (not frequently but we do know at some point they did ask lando to send stuff to the other)

in 2020 i actually dont remember anything well big happening between them

2021 of course was kinda busy for max because of the championship battle with lewis but if i remember correctly at some point charles praised max and called him talented and a part of his childhood and his rival. honestly i was busy that season, being more focused on the battle so i didnt follow charles and his interviews

now

now 2022 comes

the year of our lord, 2022

ferarri? a compromising car

redbull? reliability issues (at the start of the season)

mercedes? fucking terrible, was clearly not a contender

of course the fate made them two the main rivals of this season

so the battle started strong between lestappen, because what do you expect from 2 people who entire narration of their lives is that they are childhood rivals

charles won the first couple of races, at some point expanding his lead with 50 or something points ahead of max

it honestly looked like an truly iconic title fight, but fuck ferrari and their management of everything and so im not gonna talk about how much they screwed up and got me cursing them out every race. im not. ...

ok so notable lestappen 2022 moments

austria 2022. man everyone called the podium celebrating soft porn and i cant agree more. just. how

every podium they shared and every cooldown room and every Thursday media day they shared. they just delivered something. everytime they got together

oh and maxplain. it started simple really. max had some issues with the car and charles asked what happened after the race and thats how maxplaining was born.

they started to share their opinions on every aspect of the race (well mostly max, charles was content to just listening. which, slay, let your man nerd out)

they started to speak highly of each other so frequently, so much, every race, if they got the chance to talk about the other they would do it

they would joke about their childhood and about how they actually deeply disliked eachother , about how they grew up and started to replace that dislike with respect and understanding and sympathy.

i just cant put into words how interesting their relationship is, how interesting they develop still to this day

max talked about how they would be racing for another 10 15 year together

its so, poetic? took out straight out of a book

they are so iconic frfr.

ugh 2023 has been so lame without the weekly lestappen propaganda

so i cant wait for them to get to race again as they did in 2022

anywayyy hope this wasnt boring and long and lame, my apologies if it was, i just took my thoughts out from my brain and threw them here. i hope they have just a little coherence.

these two truly have more moments that i could have mentioned but i cant really remember. they have too many tbh

anyway yes. lestappen 🔛🔝

this is the most incredible answer to my plea anon, thank you so much.

i'm just getting into f1 so i knew some but i didn't know a lot but my jaw DROPPED. what do you mean they're only born 13 days apart, they grew up together not quite liking each other but also destined to forever be on the same path

i went and watched the austria 2019 and 2022 podiums and i cannot make this shit up literally typing it out just feels like fanfic, it feels poetic. the CONTRAST with their worst and best moment being at the same race? jesus

i was a believer before, but now i'm pious. you've fully converted me. with the sheer amount of history between them there was never going to be room for indifference. the idea of the other person being their only true equal god i eat that shit UP i fear these two are going to haunt my brain for a while

[hefieri]

flavorbabies rb your promos. i want to promote you.

[hefieri]

and if daddy came back for the 8 yr anniversary?

[hefieri]

TRIPLE D. daddy made a new blog and hasn't been on here, sorry about that folks.

[hefieri]

HEFIERI. a joke """"rp"""" blog for guy fieri. mainly used to send people to flavortown and promote some pretty cool blogs. mun is called ferrari and is 21+, and has been at this eight years. we do no actual rp on here, it's just for laughs.

[hefieri]

what's a "flavorbaby"

TRIPLE D. idk whats the flavor baby with you? no but seriously, it's anyone who follows this blog. my followers and whatnot. i try to reblog as many promos as i can and promote people to a larger, diverse audience of people when i get the chance. hence why there's a special promos tag and i ask for my fb to reblog their promos for me to spread.

[hefieri]

TRIPLE D. good afternoon flavorbabies <3

[hefieri]

Is it okay to ask the mun questions? Like, has anyone ever figured out it was you before?

TRIPLE D. hey so absolutely! feel free to ask any questions. yes, they have. i've had all sorts of guesses over these 8 years. sometimes they're right, sometimes they're not. only a handful of people know though.

[hefieri]

Do you run any other blogs on this hellsite or just this one?

TRIPLE D. i do! however i have never wanted credit for this blog attached to any of those more serious blogs. i always enjoyed being anonymous more or less. i always wanted this blog to be about the people who got enjoyment from it and the laughter it brought, not the person running it.

[hefieri]

TRIPLE D. one of the best parts about running this blog is usually being able to tell who isn’t from the states simply because they spell flavor with a ‘u.’ 

[hefieri]

TRIPLE D. maybe daddy makes a comeback, maybe daddy fucks around here again, maybe daddy does a whole icon overhaul who knows.

[hefieri]

homie this has to be one of the wildest rpc experiences i have ever witnessed and i would like to thank you. flavortown was really the friends i made along the way

TRIPLE D. that’s what i’m here for, my man. i’ve had this blog for five years, i like to come in every now and then and shake up the rpc.

[hefieri]

TRIPLE D. i forgot how fast everything moves and comes in on this blog, i’m going to be completely honest.

[hefieri]

daddy's home. :)
