genuinely starving.

Me too anon, and I'm writing the damn thing.

As of right now I have added another three thousand words to my meta and honestly, I reckon I'm well on my way to having six thousand by the time I'm done. However, I have been sitting on this piece for so long and making various vague posts about it that I think it's high time I gave you all some context.

So here are an assortment of excerpts from the current draft:

From the second part of my doc regarding character analysis -

It's entirely unintentional on Valentino's behalf, but he does become somewhat of an "omega activist", if only for simply existing in an alpha dominated space without suppressing his designation. If you asked Valentino about this role model status however, he would just laugh you off. Being a rider is not about being an omega or alpha or whatever.

Except that more often than not it is. Valentino cannot keep up with the raw strength and aggression of his alpha competitors, even if he does have a mean right hook. So he hones his cunning instead, becoming a force of luminous charisma that is as intoxicating as the heady florals of his scent.

Valentino's myth is veiled in sensuality, the romancing of man and machine that transforms an entire sport; underpinned by the allure of an unattainable omega. It becomes another tool in Valentino's arsenal, the same way the celebrations and the yellow are part of his shtick as The Doctor. Valentino's modus operandi is to pick his competition apart at the seams and let them unravel the rest of the way themselves, and he knows that his being an omega plays on the fault lines of alpha superiority. Valentino, who should’ve been kept as an accessory to his alpha’s success, rising well above his station to beat out said alpha wheel to wheel.

It rankles and Valentino is counting on that.

Another facet of character analysis, Uccio & Vale -

There is one exception however. Uccio. The fundamentals are the same – boyhood friends who carry each other in triumph and through defeat. The friend Valentino trusts unequivocally and unwaveringly to keep him grounded, and the man Uccio has devoted himself in his entirety to. Uccio just also happens to be an alpha.

It's a relationship dynamic that bucks the prevailing convention that alphas and omegas can only consort with the intention to mate, or at least fuck. Uccio is the one who finds Valentino feverish and confused with the onset of his presentation heat; who takes it upon himself to guard Valentino's room with resolute determination until his heat tapers out three days later.

Uccio's presentation rut comes the following week, and when he emerges Valentino is waiting for him, smelling like spring, lush with the promise of becoming. Valentino is the first person Uccio ever scents – a tentative exploration that is more an awkward bumping of wrists and noses than anything else. But it makes Valentino laugh, bright and toothy, notes of fig and orange blossom filtering through his scent. It settles like a ball of light in Uccio's chest, and Valentino tells him he smells like cloves.

Sete/Vale. These following three sections are all ship analyses -

Sete is Valentino's first heat partner.

Sete finds this out while he's got Valentino half undressed and squirming in his lap, his scent blooming with syrupy heat. It's 2000 and Sete has been the altruistic hand guiding Valentino through his transition to 500cc – a familiar, friendly face that Valentino can seek out when he needs a breather from his boywonder persona. Sete is also unconcerned with the alpha posturing of some of his competitors, a trait that draws Valentino in when they first meet in 1998. Apart from a cursory sniff Sete doesn’t comment on Valentino’s designation, focusing instead on teaching him the mechanics of rear-wheel riding. It makes Valentino feel normal in a way he gets with sparingly few people – like a competitor and not a conquest.

Valentino likes Sete. He trusts Sete. And two years later, when Valentino is on holiday with Sete and his heat takes hold, Sete, broad and handsome and undeniably alpha in a way that makes Valentino’s head swim, takes Valentino into his arms and apart in his bed. Valentino isn’t a virgin, but this – Sete’s back flexing under Valentino’s hands, his mouth an iron-hot brand on Valentino’s skin, the drag of his cock inside Valentino – is something else. Valentino exists only where Sete touches him, drifting on his firewood and leather scent.

Casey/Vale

Casey isn’t stupid, he knows this can only end poorly. But Casey is only a man, only an alpha, and he has spent so long denying both of those things that now, with the object of his most base desires in front of him, Casey can’t keep pretending that he doesn’t want. Casey does make an almost valiant attempt to suggest they find Uccio, but then Valentino presses the whole length of himself against Casey and whines and that’s that.

Casey doesn’t tell him, but Valentino rightly guesses that he’s never had an omega in heat before. The underlying accusation of incompetence makes Casey arc up and he manhandles Valentino into the bedroom and onto his back. Valentino only smiles up at him, satisfied. He’s being a dickhead but Valentino didn’t seek Casey out to beat around the bush. He’s seen Casey ride like a devil and now Valentino wants to know if he fucks like one too.

Valentino leans up as far as he can against the iron-sure grip Casey has around his wrists, manacling him to the bed, and noses along the line of Casey’s jaw until he gets to the soft skin at the juncture of Casey’s throat. He exhales, feels gooseflesh shiver into life against his lips, and licks right over the scent gland there. A throwing down of the gauntlet that hits all of Casey’s pressure points. He puts Valentino on his knees, face down ass up, and takes.

Marc/Vale

Marc is Valentino's reminder.

He boasts a quintessential alpha attitude; ambitious, aggressive, flush with ego. He stinks of alpha pheromones too. However, the eager genuineness Marc approaches the sport and Valentino with bevels out the less refined aspects of his personality. So Valentino doesn’t mind Marc’s overenthusiastic efforts to seduce him. He can appreciate a man who knows what he wants. 

And what Marc wants is world championships and Valentino. Initially he aspires to wanting to be like Valentino, but after Marc presents that aspiration shifts to wanting Valentino full stop.

Tongues & Teeth by The Crane Wives is a foremost Sete/Vale song to me

[alilvalearchive]

Vale: Brivio comes to me and says "They're gonna make us start from the last row." The last row? Are you joking? Gibernau and I have always had a good relationship because I like him as a person; we've always been pretty good friends. In Qatar, he betrayed me and played dirty—he and his chief mechanic, who used to work with me the year before. Narrator: Gibernau starts from the front row, Rossi from the last: between them, there are 18 riders. Vale: When I started the race I only wanted one thing: to catch Gibernau, that was some crazy goal ... cause he started from pole position and I had some difficulties ... and I was starting from the back ... but I didn't care about anything else ... I wanted to catch Gibernau Narrator: The race starts. Valentino starts his comeback with so much fury that he overtakes riders using both "good manners" and "bad manners." After four laps, there are only four bikes between Valentino and Gibernau. But just as the hunter starts smelling his prey, Valentino loses control of the bike and ends up in the gravel. Vale: I put both tyres on the grass and I fell, it was a very hard fall, I was going more than 200 km/h, I crushed my pinky finger once again and he (Gibernau) won the race Narrator: It's a crash that's painful both on the body and on the soul Vale: So from being 39 points behind me in the standings he returned to just 14 points from me. He basically re-opened the championship fight. I don't know if Brivio told you this but that night during dinner, there were just three races left of the season, that night I said to him (Davide Brivio) : "This year Gibernau is not gonna win again, because I'm gonna win them (the races) all"

DIABOLICAL 😭😭

In the middle of the Island's Portakabin paddock, we're in one of Rossi's media chat sessions. We get to asking him about the curse he allegedly inflicted on Sete Gibernau at the 2004 Qatar GP, where Honda notoriously had Rossi sent to the back of the grid, since when the Spaniard has apparently lost the ability to win. At first Vale hasn't got a clue what we're going on about, he's looking at us like we're nuts, then his face brightens into a big, evil grin as he mimics the act of stuffing needles into a voodoo doll. Poor Sete, what can he do, his deadly rival isn't just superhuman, he's actually supernatural.

'eusexua' is a creation of FKA twigs, a term born out of the need to describe a state of euphoria that transcends ordinary human experience.

[valentin1k]

i think with rosquez we have this situation where Valentino perhaps thought that since Marc was a fan he'd get special privileges wrt winning a championship and Marc perhaps thought that since he was a fan, and also young, that Valentino wouldn't be as psychopathic in his rivalry as he'd been in the past with literally any other rider he'd completed with. like you said in that post, rosquez isn't even a top three in the valentino rossi fucked up rivalry competition tbh. It's just the one he didn't win, which I think is why it still bugs him (Rossi)

WELLLLLLLLLL i think pretty early on (several. several 2013 races come to mind. but particularly laguna seca 2013) it was very very clear that valentino would not get any special treatment from marc. also, marc was not even close to the first rossi fanboy on the grid (although yeah probably the best of them. you could argue casey but i don't know if one would define him as a fan of valentino of the same ilk as marc...)

similarly with marc, i don't think that he thought that valentino like... wouldn't play mind games with him... i just think that in marc's head it was like "well i am better and will beat him" and the oddity of sepang is that marc wasn't actually in the title fight, which is why it was a shock. i think if they'd been in a direct title fight, marc would not really have been surprised and maybe even braced for it to an extent. or maybe not what do i know

do agree that the reason marc still bugs vale is bc he didn't win lol not only bc he never directly beat marc (as in to a championship outright... not inidividual races...) but because he's clearly, clearly displaced a significant amount of his bitterness at never getting a tenth title (which is definitely not only about 2015 - 2006, 2007, 2011, 2012... count 'em) into "this is marquez's fault." someone else has said this before me and way smarter and i can't recall who it is (sorry!) but this is why the sticking point for vale is sepang 2015 (and the ensuing valencia penalty) as opposed to argentina 2018.

then again i am making all of this up based on external observation. who knows what actually goes on in that man's head.

We live in a hellscape where the 03-05 seasons r some of the most interesting narrative and racing seasons and the people are bending the relationship at the core of that narrative as a means to an end of their ship free us

[xoxogeorgiegirl]

the thing about setetino is that they are aesthetically my favourite vale ship. sure marc has good cheekbones but can he compete with setes lesbian realness? that's what i thoughtttt
