During the race today, I knew going in Logan wasn't going to be there racing, but I kept finding myself looking down to see where he was on the board.
And I kept getting sad over it and having to remind myself this is the new norm. No more Logan, no more lil American. No more fun podcast between Alex and Logan. No more driver parade catch-ups with Oscar and Logan. No more rooting for a man from *my* country, no more rooting for *my* underdog.
And I think that's what hurts the most. My underdog was taken from me prematurely. No proper goodbye. Just a post saying that they were firing him mid-season.
This season has been exhausting as a Logan fan and as sad and heartbroken as I will be come December because it will be Carlos' last race in red with the prancing horse, I can't wait for it to be over because I can start to put this terrible—yet exciting—season behind me and rebuild my love for this sport.
Xoxo

WARNING: VIVZIEPOP CRITICAL, STOLITZ CRITICAL CONTENT.
I get fairly mean in this one, you've been warned.
I am so sorry, Viv. You can't convince me to see Stolitz as anything beyond a toxic, doomed to fail, train wreck.
I'm SO down for a good toxic ship.
In fact, I found their pilot dynamic far more interesting than the current writing seems to be depicting.
I refuse to feel bad for a man that caught feelings for a childhood """friend""" so hard he ruined his own life. Blitz owes NOTHING to Stolas. He agreed to fuck him so he could run a business that is barely discussed, even though it was the original point of the show.
Does it suck that Stolas had to deal with an arranged marriage that he never wanted with a mean wife? Yeah.
You know what else sucks?
THAT STELLA HAD TO MARRY A MAN SHE NEVER WANTED, AND HAD TO GIVE BIRTH TO HIS CHILD. ALL WHILE HAVING A FUCKING CREEP OF A BROTHER. ALL WHILE BEING TREATED AS A MONSTER BY THE FANDOM THAT CAN'T UNDERSTAND HYPOCRISY IF IT BIT THEM IN THE FACE.
Like yes, she's a cantankerous bitch. But you can't seriously pretend like she isn't also suffering in this relationship. The only difference is she turns her pain into external anger, where as Stolas has been turned into uwu soft bird who can do no wrong.
Even though he destroyed his family in an extremely public way. Octavia is going to have to live with the impact of her father's decisions for the rest of her life. You can't seriously expect me to feel bad for a man that is the agent of his own destruction.
You also can't tell me that Blitz just needs to get over himself just so he can be with a man who's father BOUGHT HIM FOR HIS SON AS A PRESENT.
To reiterate. If this was meant to be read as a terrible toxic arrangement that just keeps happening? I'm down for that. But this is not, and will never be cute or healthy.
Blitz doesn't owe Stolas anything. He keeps up his end of the bargain. It's purely sexual, and just because Stolas can't accept that doesn't make it Blitz's problem.
Stolas needs to learn how to accept rejection and move the fuck on. He knew he would catch feelings and considering he basically has Blitz on a leash, that doesn't make this any less gross.
The fact that he knows Blitz will leave if he's given the power to go to earth on his own proves it.
Blitz has frankly done very little IF ANYTHING to warrant being subjected to this level of obsession on Stolas' part. He's just trying to make a living.
Frankly, if you wanted us to actually think Blitz was interested, you've totally missed the boat with that one. This should have been worked on ages ago and it makes it feel exceptionally rushed and out of character on Blitz's part.
At this point I'm starting to think Fizz and Ozzie are a fluke of good writing in a sea of godsawful shit. Charlie and Vaggie felt like a literal afterthought in their own show. Husk and Angel are so rushed it felt like watching a relationship at double speed. Are we even supposed to think Pen and Cherry are actually a thing? Because if I was Cherry I would have punched Pen for that shit.
Christ. I don't drink but Viv makes me feel like starting.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

look, i'm sad for logan i am rooting for him too but acting and saying that he doesn't have a future now that he's not racing in f1 is sooo negative and wrong. there's other series he can do; indycar, formula e, super formula, endurance. i know f1 is pinnacle of motorsports and whatnot but it's not a dead end. he still can thrive somewhere.
and this applies to franco as well. saying williams will only ruin him because they only signed him for 9 races is so negative. this is a good opportunity for him to introduce his name to the world. he did endurance and he did good, so if there's no team that want to sign him after the season ended then he can go back to endurance. or back to f2. or even get the chance to go to other series. don't get me wrong i despise james vowles as much but let's not get too drown in hatred and negativity. (and i hope he do well really because it will not be an easy job).
