Oh to be as relaxed as Max Verstappen floating on a raft in the sun

Saltburn is not a film about class, right? at least, not really. like. Oliver is well off. maybe not living in Downton Abbey well off suuuurre, but he is middle to upper-middle class. this is not a movie about the working class sticking it to the wealthy. it's a movie about desire and obsession. it's actually super interesting that it is set in 2006 (or 2005? i can't remember), because what it is exploring is the way that a lot of us interact with people now. we watch them. on our phones. on our screens. we watch their beautiful lives and we obsess over them, and obsess over everything they have that we don't. Venetia in her speech in the bathtub to Oliver talks about how Oliver actually didn't know Felix at all, really just met him, and yet somehow Felix had become the centre of Oliver's whole fucking universe, in a way that i think you can compare to parasocial relationships people have now with celebrities etc. it is a movie that explores how far desire and obsession can go. in like, obviously a very campy way that is super fun and great. but it's not about class. it's the wealthy and the more wealthy eating each other.

Me: 11.25pm? This is an excellent time to start my Wild Blue Yonder rewatch

Narrator: it was not

[moirascribbles]

this got inspired by someone else's comment, but I keep rotating the angst of Leander just... tossing MC aside after they have served their use to him. Just.... maybe they have bonded, there's trust and maybe more built there and then after he's gotten what he wanted, the mc is no longer useful to him, he doesn't need them any more.

Just... the hurt and the betrayal of it all is what makes me go skslfjfhdhwehrhrhfh and now I can't stop thinking about it

helluva boss rants #2: is stolas embarrassed of blitzø?

the short answer is and always will be, no.

if i see one more person say that he was embarrassed of blitz in ozzie’s and that’s why he covered his face, then i always question them, did we watch the same show?

because no; stolas is and never will be embarrassed of blitzø. in #1 i broke down how stolas has always seen and appreciated imps as an equal.

i feel like a lot of people miss out on episode 5 of season 1, where stolas publicly STATES on stage in front of the entire ring of wrath that blitz is his darling and that he finds him sexy. he outs it. so, openingly stating that he was sleeping with him never was an issue.

he does the same partially in loo loo land, where i think the entire episode is in my prescription a test of waters for his daughter to get to know his lover - he wants to show her that he’s kind and caring (protecting them). i will go in depth about their little found family in another rant though.

but yeah, stolas is very open and honest about his relationship with blitz. at least, he wants to be. yet as mentioned in #1, he can’t. he simply gets that social pressure of being a goetia, having all a goetia would want and seeming like he just threw it away to get off. but that’s not the case for stolas. that’s never the case.

so, to make it clear to everyone who doesn’t get it still, stolas isn’t embarrassed of blitz, but rather himself and how he has disappointed everyone around him once more.

After this weekend I never wanna see or hear anyone say Max doesn’t care about his races. If the pure emotion that’s pouring out of him today doesn’t make you feel how much he cares, you’re watching the wrong sport

Deze vent dacht oprecht ‘dit is m’n kans’ en heeft de meest hilarische meme voor deze verkiezingen gemaakt

I think the whole discussion about Max giving rbr an ultimatum about Marko’s contract so stupid

Like in what world would Max involve himself in the management politics of red bull inc? Marko has no direct influence on the inner workings on the team so maybe he’s miss Marko but it wouldn’t actually change anything for Max so why put your head on the line? Cause of ‘loyalty’? Sure Marko put Max in the car but he didn’t give him the car, the team or other things like that that Max needed for his career so why would Max risk his career for someone who should’ve been retired for awhile already?

I have some gossip👀

So this is according to an anonymous source from one of the Dutch f1 podcast I listen to: apparently Checo has a clause in his contract stating that he has to be within a certain points and time margin to Max next season, if he’s not his contract will be terminated at the end of 2023. So this source is assuming he won’t be within the margin, which suggest that Checo currently isn’t within the margin. So assuming Checo will get booted at the end of 2023, this source states that Redbull would want to replace him with Daniel Ricciardo IF Daniel shows he has a better pace than Checo over the 2023 season.

So I guess that means Daniel to Redbull reserve 2023 confirmed?

Has anyone else noticed how it’s only Max in most of the celebratory posts and almost no Checo?👀

[sophiewagentje]

‘It shows how he really is’

Max has never hidden the fact that he does not do team orders? Like the few times the team has asked something like that of him he’s always refused to so why is everybody suddenly in shock? Especially when the gap with Checo was at least 3 seconds when gp told Max to switch?? What did they want him to do? Just slam on his brakes and make almost an emergency stop?? Why not give that order sooner? Or tell Checo to keep close to Max?? Idk in my opinion the team fucked this up more than Max did, I mean he was literally 0.4 seconds off alonso who he was told to try and overtake??? What a mess honestly

I often don’t agree with Tom Coronel but I’m so glad Nyck has people like this around him to support him now… I mean they weren’t this hard on Pierre at rbr, at least he could race till the summer stop

[sophiewagentje]

I think the way Alpha Tauri handled this is awful..

They haven’t even made a post to announce Nyck’s leaving them.. just immediately announced Daniel. I think that’s just disrespectful as fuck
