#party with the gax ers

re: card shark!max/security!george (you’re infecting me)

george spending hours and hours up in the security booth watching the tables. becoming slowly obsessed with max’s game because he Can Tell something’s up but no one else on the security team believes him. and he watches analyzing every detail to the point where he feels like he knows max all from his observations from the cameras

bonus points for jealous!george watching max flirt with the billionaires he’s about to dupe out of tens of thousands of dollars

double bonus points for undercover!george befriending max to try and get him to give up the secret to his game but oops this relationship got way more complicated than he planned and maybe he kind of likes (???!!!) max romancing him with the help of all the money he’s won

double double bonus points for the angst when max finds out the man he’d slowly been falling for was investigating him the whole time

(wiz why are you doing this to me what am i becoming)

*POINTS* GAX PPL WE GOT ANOTHER ONE!!! JUL YOU’RE COOKINGGGGGGGG

if only i knew enough about casinos and stuff to attempt writing this aksjsksks

I LOVE IT SO MUCH anyway some pics for a mood board for anyone who might want to attempt it or just for funsies

no but rly this dynamic (“do i like you? we have a shared history and i think i’m supposed to like you but also something about you intellectually challenges me and grinds tf out of my gears at a molecular level”) is so underrated

[wisteriagoesvroom]

say more about this casino situation…..

@supercollide jul girl ur up to bat, over to u lmaooo

my contribution to casino!gax au lore: max learned to count cards from a young age. grew up with his dad, dad was a deeply unscrupulous guy. put into scary situations too young etc. was not obviously good at school but smarter than most of the kids in his class. definitely ran some sort of trading cards cartel on the school yard by the time he was twelve. he has a surprising amount of knowledge about indycar strategy because, as strategist ruth buscombe says, race startegy usually shares the same fundamentals as poker. he is a millionaire but drives a beat up honda civic because he thinks it’s funny. his favourite drink is whatever the person next to him is buying because he gets a kick out of doing something out of pure chance and seeing what happens.

meanwhile george went to a state college for mathematics with a minor in security and defense. he got headhunted by several defense industry companies but decided to go into casino security cus he actually fancied being able to tell people what he does, and he likes the people side of it (read: dealing with weird personalities cus he is one too). george’s favourite game outside of casinos is monopoly because he likes to keep friendships but also come close to ruining them only in the confines of the game. the first time he sees max try to be shifty at one of his tables he experiences a huge rush because this is the one all his industry folks talk about. this is the guy. the legend of the circuits who doesn’t stay longer than two months at any known location. the guy who is known by a code name but is somehow never photographed or seen: the golden lion.

now, the lion is in his den. and george, despite the teasing he gets and the bullshit he puts up with, is a hunter.

that’s all i got chief.

[wisteriagoesvroom]

hiii loml other anon missed u too 💕💕🫶🫶

lando def doesn’t tell oscar you’re soo right. ‘ohhh it’s just like a gig yknow. wdym do i know george russell. i mean kind of like ive been introduced to him before i guess?’ bc lando knows that oscar works for max and everyone in the food industry knows not to fuck with max. on their date that evening oscar’s like ‘so when were you gonna tell me that you photograph basically exclusively for The george russell? max is going to put me on dishes for this’ and lando’s like ‘mate. 1) you’re basically a webber protege don’t forget that i know food as well and 2) you will NEVER guess what i heard from pierre so i think it would be a tiny bit hypocritical of max to give you a hard time…’

max and his lovely middle of paris restaurant that’s everything he’s ever wanted 😭 he’s got two stars and he’s just happily focusing on making this one perfect (fuck you russell) and for all that george is happy to critique him in the mag, he’s VERY generous with praise everywhere else. hand in hair. yes. no additional comments needed.

he gets the text from george while he’s mid break and up until that point they’ve just been hooking up but suddenly george has his number and max snaps him a photo of a dish he’d been tinkering with before the rush and they’re chatting on max’s way home from the restaurant (after a brief ‘my saucier is doing WHAT’ ‘lando is distravtable enough as it is, tell your little webber reincarnate to leave off before i mention that separated sauce’ ‘piastri wouldn’t have done that and you KNOW it’ bc at the end of the day max is nothing but protective of his kitchen staff bc he knows what it’s like to be in a rough kitchen)

this must have been what italians felt like when da vinci was painting the mona lisa, or something

[wisteriagoesvroom]

oh aso same anon that just word vomited in your asks. card shark max YES dealer georgie YES yes yes YES everything about that is so immensely good max just smirking and flirting with billionaires and god he really should be wearing a tie but he’s not and george can’t bring himself to complain

GAX ANONS GET A ROOM (AND BRING ME W U) OK

max should be wearing a tie… stop headcanoning things that are so delicious…. like don’t stop…. but really now….

what if. their shirts rumpled and max smells like cigars and velvet, them crashing against expensive furniture while they make out… george saying “screw the fucking potted plant i’ll have that replaced by tomorrow” and max just laughs in his mouth… max on his knees on the carpet talking smack about how “i can’t believe you it took you so long to catch on, i was trying to get your attention you know”… george going red and angry because he’s like “obviously i knew but i was waiting for you to slip up first”. max unbuckling george’s belt and shaking his head because “that’s your problem george. i never slip up”.

the city lights up beneath them, winking and teasing and full of promise. a whole city of torrid secrets outside to match the whisper that’s been building between them all this time. they could be anyone really, just two avatars with false identities and fake names. but they’ve chosen to share real ones.

they know nothing about each other. except george understands all of max’s tells by now, the way he shifts his shoulders before a feint, max’s drink orders - always a martini with something unexpected in it. and max understands that finding errant data in known patterns and fixing it is something george lives off of, breathes like air… so max takes his twisted game a little far because it’s been so long since someone truly challenged him that way and understood him at that level.

and this is a game too, the one between them, the cat and a mouse. maybe george could finally be winning at this one. he can bring information about max back to toto, limping with it between his teeth. he has him here.

except the city’s twinkling outside. it’s probably beautiful but george doesn’t really absorb any of it. maybe he’s been in the game too long now. because all he sees is max’s blue eyes, all supplicating, peering up in the half dark. terror strikes at the core of him, because this could be awful, and even worse, it could even close to real…

ANYWAY IDK WHERE ALL THAT CAME FROM BUT HERE’S WONDERWALL!!!!!! Y’ALL ARE CRAZY BUT SIKE IM CRAZY TOO!

[wisteriagoesvroom]

other anon the resteraunt is def in france… you best believe that pierre is the first person charles calls after seeing his BOSS (food royalty, most talented chef of his generation, two michelin stars before 28) get into his WORST ENEMY’S (slightly less acclaimed but still very acclaimed, shot from a irrevelant food magazine to a big one after languishing at a small one for three years someone spotted an article shitting on max’s winter menu) CAR!! because what!!

george never lets the princess thing go. ever. and max is a constant victim of it whenever they hook up bc you’re right other anon. praise. BIG BRAINED moment with the fucked out max agreeing to fucking anything george says - afterwards when max has come back to reality he’s all like ‘i did not of course mean this, russell. always you are saying the most stupid things-‘ and george is just looking at him unimpressed.

AND LANDO! lando and george got assigned together when george first moved to the big food mag and have been basically inseparable work-wise even if george wants to kill him sometimes. but he’s creative genius so he’ll let it slide. one day they’re leaving their office after a long day and oh who’s this waiting outside? hello oscar who immediately goes slightly pale because that’s GEORGE RUSSELL his boss’ WORST ENEMY that he’s MAYBE FUCKING. cue very awkward small talk before lando whisks oscar off and george reaches out his phone and texts max ‘stop letting your saucier distract my photographer, cheers princess’

⭐️⭐️

SORRY GAX PARTYGOERS i got caught up in finishing my f1 playlist fic and did not respond to dis earlier this morning. GENIUS. LOVE IT. NO NOTES. delighted at photog lando cameo again!! landoscar in my gax au how delicious!!

do u need the room while ur brains like, tangle in a sexy metaphysical way? cus i can totally like just give u the room. pls be quiet world the presidents of gaxville are meeting and conducting very important business (advanced level maladaptive daydreaming)

[wisteriagoesvroom]

we gave you the gax brain parasite 🎉🎉🎉

unfortunately yes, i do part time shifts in the cafe du gax. how could i resist their belligerent charm when they in fact have A History, and max’s clinical indifference to george’s occasionally spiralling anxiety. nations were founded on dreams and we stand here, quills in hand, writing the rarepair first amendments for the two whitest vroom vroom boys who like to snipe at each other and go really fast and call each other princess (derogatory). i for one welcome my new brain parasite

[wisteriagoesvroom]

no ur the love of my life cutie 💕 (in all seriousness though if you want my tumblr so we can cut the string of our little can and Plot more aus im so down 🤲 i have a few more ideas like a uni au that i must share with you immediately). also as far as i'm aware it's just me and this other gaxer (the jupiter to my mars, the sun to my moon if you will) cause i think we're co-creators. our names are both Equally on the power point presentation we've Both put in the effort.

i love that the entire kitchen is aware Something's going on but they have no clue What or just how deep in it max and george are. charles and pierre definitely debrief after a long week and gossip and i think that's so funny. charles after two shots like. who's going to bring up the elephant (george and max are definitely fucking) in the room first and once they start, they can't stop. i also love that landoscar take it 10x more serious than max and george... them both being paranoid about slipping up, always checking over their shoulders, maybe even referring to george and max in code names Just To Be Safe. whole time george and max are so public and open about it, you'd think they'd already told the kitchen.

THIS IS GOOD FUCKING FOOD. the news that russell is there... because nobody calls him george... like. everyone stops momentarily. the pause is like. .2 seconds but Everyone notices. charles and pierre eye each other, alex and max have a stare down (alex's eye twitches) and oscar's about to pass out (bless his soul). when max silently clocks out for his break, nobody knows what to do. seriously? the article, max? when max drops them the compliment, lets charles take over and run the kitchen AND bumps oscar into the sous position, everyone's Sure Max is about to get excommunicated from the food-world for fighting a critic. only, when pierre steals a glance at the table (the best one in the house, of course), max has this look - one he's never seen before, and george is wearing it too. they're both absolutely smitten with each other.

alex still calling max chef despite max being on break is fucking comedy and beautiful and in this essay i will- also im so glad we both agree pierre and alex are waiters. like. to add, i think lewis needs to work at the same firm as george <3

charles and pierre sharing a cigarette as they walk through paris on a chilly friday night after closing the restaurant just gossiping because What The Fuck? how could max not tell either of us? but it's the best piece of gossip that's circled through the kitchen in literal months so they're rinsing it to filth. ILL GO CRAZY. max is usually so good at hiding what he's thinking. that's what his father trained him to do. a good chef Never lets anyone know what he's really thinking. but max blushes the meanest red and feels like a victorian woman seeing an elbow for the first time when george looks at him *that way* or touches him for the briefest of moments. like. he's out of breath and feels slightly manic. he's so insane i love him.

YES YES YES. YES. YES. YES. and max experiments with food all the time because they're a high-end restaurant in fucking paris. they cycle through menus regularly, and george is Always the first to try or see max's little creations. think it would be funny if max just Sends pictures of the food to george. doesn't even attach a message with it like *hey what do you think?* no it's just the food. it's okay though because george sends him back a 3 paragraph essay and then has Even More Thoughts when he's able to try it later. also the menu names??? don't make me fucking crazy. princesse could definitely be a dessert of some kind, they name the first dish max ever cooked at george's flat champs elysees and of course pierre and charles are on the same page. this Has to relate to george somehow.

max is literally in charge of oscar and i don't make the rules. like. max has kitten adopted him you are so right my angel. it's very rare that george drops anything other than food reviews, so the article about oscar takes everyone in the kitchen by surprise. like. oscar definitely cries about it after he's seen it because He Knows and lando's just so happy oscar's happy :) oh my god what if what if what if just for shits and giggles george writes an article about the restaurant after max's third michelin star and he's just in the kitchen overseeing max work and he's so incredibly fond. lando's there too snapping away and max has to be like *aren't you supposed to be taking pictures of the entire kitchen?* and lando doesn't even feel bad because he has. like. 30 really good shots of oscar working on this pesto.

max is just. so incredibly happy after his third star. what if he opens another restaurant in marseille after the third star :) i'll leave us off on that

this is just TOO good i fear. charles and pierre sharing a cigarette as they walk through the streets of Paris…. not a want but a need atp. I love all of them ur honour this AU will always be so dear to me and i didnt even make it up!! i just yelled about gax and it appeared in my inbox!! manifestation works!!

(fr tho Gax anons pls say hi on DMs 2 me if u feel like it 💛💛)

[wisteriagoesvroom]

hiya other michelin anon love of my life (i feel like we’re talking on a can and string rn) you’re soooo clever 💕💕

thinking abt when they’re established but not public (private but not secret 🫶) and oscar and lando are the only ones that really know the full extent of it. charles and pierre and alex just think they’re hooking up but landoscar have the threat of their careers being ended if they ever let it slip - not that max would ever actually throw his precious protégée under the bus like that.

it’s valentine’s day and they have a fucking busy service naturally and suddenly alex is sticking his head into the kitchen from front of house and going ‘shit, russell’s here - mate, you might not want to take that break i know it’s scheduled but-’ oscar and charles’ heads snap up and oscar knows better than to let charles say anything as max just nods and goes to take his chef’s whites’ top off and trade it for a white shirt. he passes back through the kitchen and everyone’s like wtf. wtf? wtf. we’re reallllly letting service drop after the article george published last week??

max throws an ‘it of course will be fine everyone, the service has been run really very well - charlie, take over and oscar sous please,’ before he’s going and sitting down with george for their valentine’s dinner <3 alex has been given their table bc he’s the best server and they thought it was just george dining to critique so he ends up serving max with a half smirk half outraged face. ‘mhmm mr russell of course, and for you, chef? well, i’ll have pierre over with some wine options for you immediately…’ and that’s how everyone finds out that they’re not JUST having hate sex

(charles debriefs with pierre after they’ve closed on just how outrageous it is that max didn’t tell them that he was SEEING not just fucking russell) (george writes an article critiquing some tiny aspect of the dish but in reality rests his hand on max’s thigh under the table and tells him that it was really rather good sweetheart and that you’re lucky your sous is so well trained princess)

i’m also so enamoured by the idea of max naming things on his menu as little inside comments that only him george or his team know. ‘tulle’ is a dessert they run in winter for a princess’ dress and ‘champs elysees’ for george’s flat or an elevation of the dish that george had ordered the first night they fucked.

i also love george begrudgingly keeping up with oscar’s career bc max has basically kitchen adopted him… doing one of his only ever complimentary pieces on mark webber and max verstappen’s protégée already working in a projected michelin resteraunt. the party when they earn their next star is insane (george is invited and serenaded with a wall of clippings of his best quotes from his critiques and has to pay for lando and oscar to get a cab home bc they’re both so drunk and giddy) (max cries when they get back to george’s flat bc this is the first star where it’s truly felt like his own and george has nothing but lovely things to say)

⭐️⭐️

new theory: is this just one person talking to the wall (me) cus if so that would actually be really funny

i am so fucking here for these details tho…. The menu?1?1?1?1?1? oooooo u cooked. Ok so:

—————

the hush of the restaurant and the conversations dying as THE max verstappen slides into the chair opposite george and they’re both like. hi. hi. and they talk to each other, perfectly aware that the entire restaurant is watching them link their fingers together as they peruse the wine list and murmur low to each other about grape acidity and seasonality. then pierre, who is the maître d, kicks the room back into motion with a smooth joke on a nearby table and suddenly everything is moving again, the world cranks back up and george and max get to be just two people in it existing, not the reputations and personas they’ve built up in the last ten years, not feeling a need to keep up appearances but actually just two diners connecting over great service and great food.

and later, the team cleans up and packs up. they all say their goodbyes. maybe george pulls up in his vintage lil car near the back and oscar’s smoking in the back alley with alex and they both wave at max on the way out.

“happy valentine’s day,” they say, a little teasingly to max. “practice safe sex!” oscar shouts, over the embers of his cig.

“shut the fuck up or i’ll put you both on tile scrub duty!” max yells back. the laughter follows max as he yanks open the car door and climbs in.

george rolls his eyes. but then the door closes, and the world goes silent. and he’s looking right at max.

“must you always be so incredibly filthy mouthed.”

“yeah?” max says, eyes flicking down to george’s mouth, which is already starting to part with surprise, at how hungry max is all the time for him, how strange but good they are together because of and not in spite of their differences. how obvious max’s need always is. not like george, always feeling a need to conceal, be unflappable. max who paints with every colour, in the strongest shade.

“but you like that so much about me.” max adds.

“and that’s our dilemma, isn’t it, choux?”

—————

wow where did that come from?? turns out maybe EYE love the Gax!chef AU too? ur all so inspiring go gax anons goooo.

[wisteriagoesvroom]

i missed u more michelin star gax au co-creator 💕💕🥰🥰👋👋

NO EXACTLY. because i'm thinking by the point where landoscar start semi-seeing each other (dates, they're both incredibly busy. both agree work comes first, but they can't stop seeing each other because they're Them and lando can't go five minutes without sending oscar a picture or two of something neat and cool he saw in paris + lando needs help with his French and hey oscar, didn't you take a course exclusively in french? you'd be able to help, right?) george and max's feud is already established. oscar's so worried about a good first impression since this is his first Serious job in the industry but he's the only one who receives Actual compliments from max. like. in my mind i feel like he corrects something max does on the garnish his first week there and the Entire kitchen is like. collectively holding their breath because fuck. Max is about to totally chew this kid out but he just. Doesn't. he accepts the advice and you can physically feel the tension leave the room.

lando knowing all the little things about oscar because he instagram nose dives one night and also because george is just. always talking smack about max at work so everyone's getting annoyed. they've All heard about the webber-protege max hired, not for the first time.

NO EXACTLY. criticism is in the public eye, but the praise is for whispered moments under sheets when their limbs are tangled together <3 max cooks him something when it's just the two of them, george nursing a hangover from an evening of expensive wine and questionable choices and he's just. in Awe at how easily max moves around in the kitchen. just watches as max hums to himself and chops up the vegetables. max also lets george try everything as well. "do you think this sauce is ready?" "how do you like your steak?" and george finds a joke to throw in here and there, makes sure he calls max princess because it's Their Thing, even if it isn't exactly hostile anymore.

this actually killed me... their conversations becoming more and more frequent because the universe just Handed them both something good and they're reluctant to take it so landoscar have to go and give them a little push and shove in the name of progress. max is hard on his staff, but at the end of the day, when they're sharing a bottle of wine in the back after a successful evening, he cracks jokes with them and lets them know he's proud because that was something his father never did when max was growing up and he isn't going to repeat that behavior. i think them arguing over landoscar is so inexplicably silly of them, and max tells himself he's *only* texting george because of that, but he has to bite back a smile when george sends him something funny and charles so busts him one day in the middle of a conversation and max just barks "back to work" but he's so fond and sappy and his ears are red.

my gawd, it's beautiful

[wisteriagoesvroom]

hi michelin star anon i've missed u <3

THE CALL. just charles approaching pierre on the phone like rachel green from friends. he's a gossip. a Big Gossip. if he believed in following a new year's resolution, he would Give Up Gossiping for the better of society. also the restaurant just overlooking the eiffel tower is so. yes. i think max Finally getting his dream (the restaurant, not the michelin stars) after So Long is so. important. like. the michelin stars were always jos' dream, not max's. as a kid, he always talked to his mother about a Big restaurant in central paris and it seemed so unattainable but now He Has It and he'll be fucking damned if George Fucking Russell of all people is going to take it away from him.

George. Never. Let's. The. Princess. Thing. Go. in fact, it becomes their thing. max is a perfectionist and at first, george only wants to get under his skin, but it slips out in a conversation unrelated to kitchens and cooking and paris and george pretends he isn't internally panicking but max doesn't say anything (he's secretly reeling about it, because of course he is). just. MAX ALL FUCKED OUT IN GEORGE'S BED IN GEORGE'S FLAT ON CHAMPS ELYSEES WITH GEORGE JUST. running a hand through max's hair as they lay there, because max isn't ready to address the elephant in the room (max and his need for praise and the fact that he'd do anything for george's)

i think it would be really funny if lando is purposefully ambiguous about where he works. "just snap some shots for a few big names" and oscar thinks Nothing of it until he's outside fucking George's company building and lando's just. buddy-buddy with these people. oscar is definitely a rookie in the food world, had an apprenticeship under The Mark Webber, one of the best chefs in the world so max hires him immediately. barely has to glance at the resume because if you're working under mark webber, you're fucking good and everyone knows it.

think it would be really fucking hilarious if that's the first time george ever texts max too. "stop letting your saucier distract my photographer, cheers princess" and max is like. mid-break in the back and he just responds with "how did you get my number?"

MAX ALL FUCKED OUT IN GEORGE'S BED IN GEORGE'S FLAT ON CHAMPS ELYSEES WITH GEORGE

i made fun of you for the gax brain parasite and now i have it too… ‘i would poison your tea’ they’re spies your honour and max is over on assignment from the dutch intelligence agency bc he’s sooo good and he’s sooo talented and georgie is trying his very hardest to live up to lewis (bc everyone knows lewis. he’s lewis. he’s mi5 god save the queen do you know how much i’m worth personified) and he’s lumped with this dutch ASSHOLE who is somehow so insanely good at his job and makes fun of george for the smallest things and at least lewis was NICE to him and george can’t even complain to everyone bc they all love max and max is so nice or whatever and cut to him having a classic george moment in a cupboard in headquarters and no it’s not a breakdown no lewis’ offhand comment didn’t get to him at ALL and max finds him and is like mate please this is embarrassing for both of us that im here but mostly you so please of course pull it together that would be lovely. screaming match ensues. insert princess here. hot hate sex. toto doesn’t get why they’re somehow WORSE and better and is definitely not looking at the fact that george’s shirt is slightly too big on him and has a dutch flag on the cuff…

“gax brain parasite” as if U did not put the fear of god gax into ME, an innocent bystander!! brainrot so deep now my hair’s basically medusa!!

this idea is bigbrained btw. huge. i love that we have three gax AUs (casino!gax, gourmand!Gax and now spies!gax) cooking at once now. the power of one giant idiot brain cell ur honour

editing to add that the dutch flag on the cuff made me need to go chew something. so thanks, anon.

Jumping in here so the lovely gax anons can see it.

Coming home from my morning seminar to a flood of gax messages and fic ideas and even a ficlet from you might have just made my otherwise very stressful Monday.

I don't know why but enemies to lovers where one calls the other princess (derogatory) just hits the spot. I just want the gax anons and you to know that I am 100% on board to sail this ship.

GOODDDD MORNING LO. all aboard the ship, climb up to the crow’s nest, you can take the first watch, we’re going sailing!! 🛳️🛳️

(u can never pry an enemies to situationship ship outta my hands… we simply had to stan)

i also take no credit for the gax anons like idk how many there truly are but i am here to VIBE!!!

kissing u on the mouth other gax anon… george ALWAYS has something to fucking say about max’s dishes and come ON he’s just making it up at this point. ‘if you weren’t such a princess it would be fucking good, alright mate’ and george does his eyebrow thing he does and alex is hanging over the pass and eavesdropping and he’s like fuck max has just lost himself a michelin star hasn’t he!!!! man is going to be a terror in the kitchen tomorrow someone ought to warn their new saucier (oscar)… except max is somehow very calm the next morning and oh what’s this he’s changing the dish just slightly and oh what’s that… hickey? peeking out of his chef’s whites? and charles is pulling alex into the cold store and going ‘you’ll never guess who i saw getting into russell’s car last night while i was having my cigarette’ bc they GOSSIP… and george’s next article manages to slide in the word princess and alex cuts it out and pins it up in the cold store and its SO worth the look max gives him bc they know that max and george DID hook up and -

i feel like a third in a threesome and my two beautiful fuckbuddies r making out above me rn and im like… well should this be officially a thing? do we move this to the DMs?? okay im just here to enjoy it alsjskskkssks

okay stealing the michelin idea from other anon but think about food critic george and he's like. the first person who Doesn't like max's cooking. and max is a perfectionist, of course. the youngest chef in history to receive a michelin star and he's on the hunt for his third. very the bear-esque too. like max is *stressed* in the kitchen, screaming at charles and alex about the overcooked salmon they've just butchered and "that's russell's fucking plate, can you make sure it doesn't look like you've puked all over it- you know what, i'll do it." bonus points if george is like. a spawn of satan reviewer as well (big food blog, highly regarded opinion) and he keeps coming back to try max's food and always has something to critique about it.

NOT THE GAX ANON TO GAX ANON COMMUNICATIONS…. I LOVE IT… PLS CONTINUE

also now if max doesn’t stomp out of the kitchen and shove a butcher’s knife in george’s steak plate a la “no reservations” then what was it even all for huh

[wisteriagoesvroom]

‘max’s clinical indifference to george’s occasionally spiralling anxiety’ what a hard line to drop 😭 so them it’s so them 😭😭✋

thank you!! call me Lando Norris because i’m a sucker for praise!! don’t threaten me with a good time cus i may be tempted to put them into even more Situations!! gax principality, rise!!
