☕️ logan sargeant (sorry if this is boring/a softball i just like when people talk about him)

logan became my blorbo when I found out that his hype song was lose yourself. it's the most fundamentally american white kid pump up song ever written; I've been able to badly rap every word of it since I was, like, 10, because you listen to it on your way to soccer games or track meets or whatever and you get yourself in the zone and that's just what you do. it's hard to imagine another fact I could have learned about him that would have elicited such a strong reaction of yeah, he's one of ours.

logan fascinates me sexually because he's incredible good looking but also very clearly shy and awkward, which is a supremely rare combination, especially in men. (the west wing's sam seaborne, a character seemingly written with the express challenge of answering the question "what if a guy who looked like rob lowe was chronically rizzless?" is the exception that proves the rule). for almost a year now, I've been wanting to write a wlw loscar fic, because pretty blonde girl you'd expect to be a bitch but she's inexplicably nice to you because of how shy she is and you become best friends is like, a top 5 wish fulfillment fantasy if we're being honest.

I'll defend logan as a driver in similar terms to the ones in which I defend mick: it's not unreasonable for a young driver who's had success in the junior formulae to struggle with the jump to f1. the pressure of getting a reputation for being crashy only makes it worse, because then you're in your head trying not to fuck up instead of trying to succeed. it's not unreasonable for a driver who brings in a large market and sponsors (the germans for mick, the americans for logan, the chinese for zhou) to get a drive they otherwise might not "deserve" on pure ability, and it's different from being a straight up pay driver.

I'm probably pretty rare among logan defenders in that I'll defend the chassis swap. albon is three years ahead of logan in his career and has scored podiums; treating him as the team's first priority on a weekend when you can only run one car shouldn't be the massive blow to logan's confidence people made it out to be. I think it was professor @yekoc who made the point that sometimes you get benched in sports; this feels like one of those moments where the fact that f1 doesn't function like most of the team sports most of us watch informs people's differing reactions to the situation. the starters vs. second string analogy doesn't work exactly, because this is like if you suddenly had to bench half your starters, but I think people are more capable of managing their expectation about how they rank compared to their teammates than a lot of logan's defenders gave him credit for. I think swapping was probably nevertheless a mistake, but everyone who said they might as well fire him if they don't trust him in the car was way overblown. if I were logan, my takeaway from that weekend wouldn't be "time to update my cv, the team clearly doesn't believe in me," it would be "time to work on closing the gap to albon and proving I can bring in points down the line." if I'm logan, looking for a seat for next year, I don't think alex albon is my competition; mick schumacher is, kimi antonelli is, some junior I haven't heard of is. obviously, beating albon helps, but they aren't going to decide mick schumacher is a better option because I didn't.

I hope williams keeps him around next year. I think it would be especially frustrating to their claim that they want to have their own junior programme and not just be mercedes' alpha tauri for them to turn around and sign kimi antonelli. who also binned it several times in australia, for those of you keeping track at home. ok I will stop now before I start praying on the downfall of a literal child again.

send me a ☕️ and a topic and i’ll talk about how i feel about it

Volume 12. FUSEBOX DID WHAT WITH LIAM? 😭😭😭😭🥺

I've already mentally prepared myself for the likely possibility that I wouldn't be able to couple up with him for the final recoupling, before playing today.

BUT, TO OUTRIGHT BOOT HIM FOR SOME DUDE WHO JUST SHOEHORNED HIMSELF IN THAT AFTERNOON? ARE YOU KIDDING ME—HE'S LITERALLY GOING TO BE THERE 2 DAYS TOPS, AND FUSEBOX TRADED IN LIAM FOR THE MOST GENERIC JOE—sorry. Let me collect myself, that was all my stream of consciousness just now 💀

and it's like, I get where Hazel's coming from here, and I was actually glad that she didn't pick him, because I was worried about needing to compete with her further 👁☕️

And, I got to say my piece a lot this volume, at least.

Believe you me.. I wish I could've picked Liam tonight, but the narrative is praying on our downfall, clearly 😔

Why just maybe, huh Liam? 👁

And there is one genuine silver lining, thank goodness 👁 the fact that there's 2 volumes left, and that the finale will occur in the next one. This leaves a whole extra volume for my MC to then get her happy ending with Liam, FINALLY 😭💀

He better be there, I sWear FUSEBOX, YOU'RE ALREADY ON THIN ICE 😡

and, I felt like 🤢throwing up🤮 after Theo asked me this like no, I'm heartbroken over Liam's dumping, and you're gonna be heartbroken next week when I choose money over love, so.. 💀

edit: I've decided to rob Logan instead, rightfully so 🤡

a grin with gratitude? liam.. 🥺🥺🥺 why are they doing this to you? 🕯i'll be manifesting a hamish 2.0 esque ending until then🕯

bg3 companions and what I think they would be doing if they got dropped in succession instead of getting tadpole-ed

Wyll- he’s the son of a senator making him one of Shiv’s liberal friends from her politics era. Obviously since her return to waystar they are no longer friends but I do think he attends the TomShiv wedding

Karlach- she’s Kendall’s bodyguard and is friends with cousin Greg. She does not realize these people are evil bc she’s literally so kind. Kendall Roy will be mean to her unprovoked and things with Greg would get weird after he hits on her and she turns him down.

Minthara- works for Logan in a Gerri kind of way. She’s waiting for the day she can turn on Logan because she hates him. Does not believe men should be CEO of anything

Astarion- was adopted by the Roy’s when he was like 16 for reasons Logan Roy would rather kill himself than tell anyone about. He has weird sexual tension with Roman for psychosexual adopted brothers reasons. The shipping discourse would be insane and annoying.

Halsin- is protesting the Roys and calling them fascists. He works for greenpeace and will some day be thrilled to receive cousin Greg’s inheritance

Shadowheart- works at waystar royco bc it’s her dream to make it in that corporate news environment but she realizes it’s an evil soulless place and takes her skills to a nice nonprofit to try and help people. How does she realize this? She has to spend some time with Tom and Greg

Gale- ????????? Idk. I’m thinking maybe he’s a shareholder. Perhaps a close personal friend of Kendall’s with his own problems. They remember business school very differently.

Jaheira- is an old associate of Logan’s. I’m picturing something like the Pierces or Holly Hunter’s character. She’s very much ideologically opposed to Logan BUT a million years ago they dated. it was a crazy mistake because she hates him and is actively praying on his downfall

Minsc- I didn’t recruit him bc I got lazy my bad guys. I think it would be really funny if he was a voice actor in the turkey movie

Lae’zel- ??????????

Honestly very open to suggestions and ideas
