Twitter is mad at Daniel again because they caught on to that CH interview about Daniel being offered the same contract as Max, icl I'm also bitter about it. I wish he wasn't so rash in 2018

It's easy to be bitter in hindsight but the reality is more nuanced, had it not been recorded and internationally broadcast, what happened to Daniel in 2018 would be flat out unbelievable by ANY standard lol. Daniel had mechanical issues in every. single. weekend in 2018 <- this is not a hyperbole or a joke (more on this later). He ran multiple races with a b spec engine -> 20 bhp down on Max. At no point in 2018 did Max run a lower engine power than Daniel. Daniel incurred 8 dnfs, 4 back of the grid starts for mechanical issues and 6 grid drops in total where as Max had *1*[one]. This isn't even accounting for failures in quali or free practice that would have compromised his set up or race prep. Daniel's car accounted for 92% of Red Bull failures in comparison to Max's 8%.

Christian's cunty "he ran from a fight" comment stung particularly hard because it was Christian who made MULTIPLE public apologies to Daniel in 2018 on the ground that he wasn't given a chance to compete. Christian would apologise to Daniel again when Max won in Mexico, even though Daniel had an uncharacteristic outburst in the media pen during that famous "The car is cursed. I can't wait to give it to Pierre" This isn't even diving into the dubious & predatory RB contract practices. At 28 years old, to quote Christian "It's the first time he's effectively a free agent."

You look back at it now and lament it as a bad call but even by Christian's admission Red Bull were on the verge of selling the team for 4 years. Honda was coming in, I know it's easy to praise Honda now but Honda single handedly sent Alonso into early retirement. He found working with them untenable + said it cost him his love for the sport. Those were the lingering images of Honda as they re-entered the sport, the team who electrocuted Alonso then bled his love for racing dry.

If you weren't around in 2018 let me give you a run down so horrific it looks like a joke:

Australia - Race: 3 Place grid penalty

Bahrain - Race: DNF - Battery Failure

China - Free Practice 3: Gear box issue with complete engine turbo failure. Misses FP3 entirely, no quali set up prepared. He would go on to win that race from p6

Baku - Race: DNF - Collision with Max. Racing incident.

Monaco - Race: partial MGU-K failure. He would go on to win that race with drastic loss of power.

Canada - Free Practice 2 - Power unit issue, misses majority of the session.

France - Race: front wing failure. (it disintegrated)

Austria - Race: DNF - Retires from p3 with MGU-k Failure

Britain - Quali: DRS failure. No DRS activation, still qualifies p6 behind Max in p5

Germany - Race: Back of grid start + DNF - Takes new engine for the weekend, starts p19 + has lower power spec A ICE approximately 20 BHP down on B spec that Max was running. Daniel climbed upto p5 from p19 but incurs a MGU-k failure and retires.

Hungary - Race: Daniel is forced to run lower power spec A ICE again, 20 BHP down on B spec that Max was running

Spa - Free Practice 1 + DNF: Daniel misses entire session with engine injector issue + Daniel would go on to retire after being driven into on lap 1.

Monza - Race: Back of grid start + DNF. Daniel takes another new engine for weekend (spec C) and incurs another full grid penalty, starts p19. Daniel would go on to climb to p6 before having clutch failure and retiring.

Singapore - Race + Quali + Free practice: During every session in Singapore Daniel has an unresolved spec C engine clipping issue that Red Bull can't fix.

Russia - Race + Free Practice 1 - Daniel misses FP1 due to mechanical issues. Daniel takes another engine penalty, starts p18

Japan - Race + Quali: Daniel incurs throttle actuator failure, misses quali, another back of grid start.

USA - Race: DNF - Battery Failure

Mexico - Race: DNF - clutch Bearing failure + start software clutch issue. Daniel retires the race from P2

Brazil - Race: Daniel takes a 5 Place grid penalty due to new turbo charger replacement. Starts in p11.

Abu Dhabi - Free Practice 3: Misses majority of FP3 with water leak.

Daniel's insanely vulnerable "if racing was the only thing making me happy this year, I would have been miserable" during the last on the sofa with Max was a v apt summary of 2018. To suggest that Daniel fucked up based on the information he had in 2018, namely Daniel undergoing all those problems + knowing RB was flirting with selling the team + Helmut's fuckery + having an out from the RB umbrella for the first time in his career? Your problem isn't with his decision making process, you just wish he was clairvoyant which is an unfair thing to be bitter about

Thinking about sigma zero escaoe again. He is a guy trapped in a narrative. He didn't do anything he was just there and he ended up in a timeloop. He does not know what caused it!

Sigma was a bad father but can you blame him? He knew that in the best situation those children would not exist. If he succeeded those children would never be created. Why would he get attached more than necessary??

His life is a tragedy and he is sooo dysfunctional. He tries so hard to do what someone else signed him up for.

His role as a father is deeply entrenched in the narrative. But only as the creator. He does jot raise children he just. Creates them.

He does not seem to resent akane. This is something that I find sooo interesting about him. He could resent akane and blame her for his situation but he doesnt. He just. Gets to work fixing it immediately

Anyway sigma zero escape ultimate babygirl

11 12 13 for fic asks

finally got the chance to sit down and rest T_T thank you so much, pingo!!

11. Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around?

i write scenes in order! i like extending my metaphors/symbolism over scenes, doing callbacks when i can and establishing some cohesion through that, so i'm quite hesitant to jump around. when i bullet-point my outlines though, i ping-pong around, often starting at the middle/end then building around it.

12. Do you outline your fics? If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

i do! i try create a skeleton of every scene, which can be a single paragraph to several. i usually start with a volley of dialogue that inspires the rest of the scene. pacing, body language details, scene, ambiance all build off the conversations. i stick to these outlined convos pretty loyally, but may add or rearrange things for pacing.

13. Do you listen to music while you write?  If yes, what have you been listening to recently?

i'm utterly incapable of listening to music with lyrics in them while writing... i usually put on ambient noise or if i'm really trying to get into a certain tone/mood, a playlist of instrumentals. i remember liking these pov playlists by selena for awhile

a new phenomenon in the era of web-weaving is looking up a song whose lyrics written out you saw clipped interestingly and realizing that the song itself is not actually very good
