that car has left this man speechless 😭

rating svt from husband, boyfriend, bestie material

pairing/genres: svt x reader (gn); fluff

warnings: lots of nana tour (NT) and in the soop (ITS) references, as well as others but wanted to give specific warnings for those two shows bc spoilers

author's note: for 🍉 anon. THIS WAS TOUGH LMAO. I’d also like to say this is kinda biased!!! I tried to be objective despite having strong feelings toward certain members 🥲 But just a general disclaimer: I do not know them personally, so I'm going off of what they've shown to the public. I know there will be people who disagree because we all have different ideas/preferences in a partner/best friend. So, please, keep that in mind! Each member can mean something different depending on the person 💞

seventeen masterlist | main masterlist

Husband Material

1. Mingyu — This man can cook, clean, is intelligent, handsome, funny, etc etc etc~. I believe he’s also one of the first members to comfort others. And his sister has mentioned she wants a partner like Mingyu. Enough said lol.

2. Seungcheol — He’s caring, loyal, reliable, and dependable (cough that one jeongcheol clip cough). He’s not afraid to stand up for those he cares about (i.e., members > company). He’ll be the protector type (wbk). I sense the relationship would feel stable and secure.

3. Joshua — This man has always screamed husband material. He truly IS a gentleman. He has a good balance of playfulness and seriousness, which would make the relationship fun. He’s also very caring (flashback to ITS with Seungkwan (even NT as well)) and has a great heart.

4. Chan — In his Weverse interview, he mentioned how he wants to be there for his members no matter what. He’s also very passionate about his craft, and I think that attribute would cross into his love life. And did you see the video of him with that carat and holding their purse while they got in the car?!?!

5. Minghao — I’m reminded of that video of him saying he’s always dreamed of getting married and having kids (ironically saw this again on my tl recently). And watching NT, it’s so easy to imagine him with his family in an artsy town. Also, he’d be loyal (I recall all the anti-delulu fancalls and lives LOL; this doesn't necessarily show loyalty but yk... it can *wink wonk*) and caring (as seen with Vernon).

Boyfriend Material

6. Seokmin — He’s so precious and sweet. Definitely someone you would want to take home to your family. He’s so full of love and happiness. I think he’ll care for his partner a lot and shower them with love. The relationship with him would be so wholesome.

7. Wonwoo — Have you seen the way he treats Chan?! Imagine him with his partner *sobs* I get the sense (one of) his love language(s) is acts of service, so he’d treat his partner sweetly and tenderly. He’ll be a soft and supportive lover.

8. Jun — I recall how he made breakfast for SVT during predebut because he couldn’t speak Korean well at the time but wanted to do something nice/show his love for his members. I also saw a recent video of him making sure one of the members didn’t fall when they stumbled. So, I think he’d be very attentive to his partner’s needs. Also, imagine bf!Jun cooking you hot pot. Yes, please.

9. Jeonghan — I think he teeters on the boyfriend and bestie line (his face also gives off fwb vibes lmao), but since Jeonghan is one of my biases, he gets put in this category (semi-sorry). This man said, “You’re supposed to wait endlessly for people you like” in NT. He has said he wants to be an island to people in ITS. He’s also supportive of others as we’ve seen when he co-parents with Cheol lol. I think he wouldn’t be afraid to do something for his partner if they needed him to as well (i.e., that live when Seungkwan wanted to sing but it was late, so Jeonghan said he’ll ask for others to understand. It may have been a joke, but it was still kind to say).

Bestie Material

10. Soonyoung — He’s the person I would swap with Jeonghan since he also is on the borderline. He’s very energetic with people he’s comfortable with so his friends get to see that side a lot. He’s also cuddly as we’ve seen in several clips of him snuggling his members lol. I get the “you’re so comfortable around each other it’s almost like you’re dating” vibes LOL.

11. Seungkwan — He’d be so fun to be around. A lot of fun memories will be created with him. He’s the life of the party, and I just imagine him popping around here and there at an event lol (I think I’m overprojecting slightly, but he would still be well-known to others!). I think Seungkwan just needs/likes to be around people regardless of whether they’re a partner or a friend.

12. Vernon — He feels like a free spirit. I believe he’s mentioned before that he’s more of a personality person, so he’s not focused on looks in his partner. He’s very chill and already is confident in his own skin. I get the sense he’s content being alone (or w a friend) but also having a partner if the right one comes around.

13. Jihoon — It’s not impossible to have a relationship when he’s busy, but it def would be harder to balance. Even though he’s quiet, he cares. This is evident in the songs he’s made for certain members. I think he wouldn’t mind a partner, but they’d need to be understanding of his lifestyle (and accept he’s not big on showing affection directly). I think his partner would be someone who is similar to him but also would be able to introduce him to things he doesn’t do (like go outside lol. I say this bc he was loving the NT experience).

Modern! Hantengu Brothers in: What car would they have.

Heyyyy!!! So I’ve had this sitting in my drafts for quite a while so I just decided to just go on ahead and complete it! Hope y’all like it!

Sekido: Car #1: BMW M8/ Car#2: Kia Stinger

• Okay so hear me out. Mans has TWO cars.

• He regularly drives his Kia around to and from work & when he feels like it, he’ll bust out the Beemer (probably to race his brothers if they rile him up enough or some shit)

• He makes his own maintenance to both his cars. (Such as upgrades on the sound system, designs, window tint, oil changes, tire replacements, all that jazz) He takes pride in making sure his rides are well taken care of.

• He is definitely one of the more responsible drivers out of the four. (Unless Karaku & Urogi get on his nerves enough to make him race)

• Has red and black interior in BOTH of his cars. (I mean because what is Sekido without the color RED)

• Has a Black Ice scented freshener in his cars.

Karaku: Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT

• Come on y’all.. this is Karaku we’re talking about. Of course he has a fast muscle car & YES it’s loud green!

• Like Sekido, Karaku takes pride in keeping his car in great condition with everything it needs when it needs it.

• He gets MANY compliments on his car from literally EVERYONE. One time a kid caught him walking back to his car and he literally talked Karaku’s ear off about how cool his car was and how he wanted one just like it when he got older.

• Yes, He’s one of those guys that will see someone in the next lane at a stop light and starts wanting to race them. Again, this is Karaku we’re talking about here. 😂

• Will be the ringleader in challenging Sekido’s BMW to a race. One time, he made Sekido so annoyed he took him up on the offer only for Karaku to lose. He was still wanting to race again afterwards. (He’s a persistent one)

• His interior is matte black inside and his steering wheel cover is lime green like his car.

• Karaku definitely likes a fruity smell in his car so I’d see him with a pineapple or strawberry scent in his car.

Aizetsu: Honda Civic Sport (Two door)

• Definitely has a Honda because they are very reliable, long lasting cars. (Wise choice man, wise choice)

• Takes great care of his car & it’s always in perfect condition. He pretty much has to upkeep his cars condition because his part time job requires him to travel.

• Has amazing driving skills and is one of the better/ responsible drivers out of the four brothers. (Mans can literally parallel park in his sleep 😂😂)

• Has blacked out rims on his car gifted to him by Karaku for his birthday.

• Urogi and Karaku try to get Aizetsu to race but he declines everytime.

• His interior is solid black and he has a blue and black steering wheel cover. He has a ocean scent freshener in his car and has both a Nigerian and Japanese flag hanging on his rear view mirror.

Urogi: Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

• *sigh* There are responsible drivers, and there are irresponsible drivers, then there’s UROGI. 🥲

• Seriously, he doesn’t know what a speed limit is & the fact that he has one of the fastest cars doesn’t make it better 🤦🏾‍♀️.

• He’s another one of those guys that won’t hesitate to race someone at a stop light (because of course he does) He leaves them in the dust every time though.

• Despite being a moderately reckless driver, Urogi does keep his car in very good condition and is on time with any maintenance.

• Him and Karaku loveeeee teasing their brothers to get them to race with them on the weekends. They see it as a “bonding experience” and Urogi especially gets a thrill out of it. He has the most fun with teasing Sekido because he knows it gets on his nerves.

• Mans has definitely gotten stopped by the police once or twice but that still hasn’t stopped him. 😂😂😂

• His interior is gold and black and he has a gold steering wheel cover. He has a pine scented freshener in his car because it makes him think of being in the nature (He loves nature/ outdoors) so that’s natural for him.

I Hope ya enjoyed my silly lil car headcanons! I will be uploading my main headcanons soon! I had to make some revisions but it’s still coming but this is to hold you over!

Protect You Pt. 4

(A/N): Okay friends! So sorry for the delay, life has definitely been interesting lately! Here is part 4 in the Protect You series! I believe this will be the final part and is kind of a long one! I based the haunted house off a house that’s actually in my home town that I visited once before it was bought. The TLDR of it, I have no idea what this house’s backstory is, it is not open to the public, nor was it when my stepmom and I decided to go take a look lol! But this is based off an experience I had when I was about 15 and the house was up for sale before being bought by a lovely family. Out of respect for the family and their safety, I won’t be giving in depth details on the exterior of the house, nor it’s location, but I will say I grew up a whole 5 minutes away from this house so it’s image is forever engrained in my mind. For the story’s sake, this will take place with the house as it was when I visited! Hope y’all enjoy!

Warnings: pirate mentions, ghosts, slight violence,some language, blood mention, mild nsfw (mostly bc I’m too awkward to go past mild 🥲), death mentioned (don’t worry, no one dies lol)

As you grew accustomed to your, as you began calling it, “second life”, you noticed that all in all, not much changed. You still went on all of the guys’ adventures, stayed at their house, and kept watch over them when it came to the paranormal. When your body was returned to you, you looked exactly the same as you had when you died. Still in your black corset (which served more as armor than an accessory in your previous life), white tunic, and leather jacket, pants, and boots. And luckily, your daggers were still snugly in place on your lower back. Some time before you died you’d had the local armorer on Nassau add holsters for them onto the back of your corset, forgoing the need of a clunky belt like your crew mates. You did take notice though upon returning, the lack of bullet holes in your clothes, something you hadn’t realized Mara had taken care of until you woke.

While you knew the time you woke up to catered to far different forms of fashion than you were used to, you realized it was also a time period where most people wore what they wanted without a care. So, taking this into account, you typically styled yourself how you would’ve when you were still a pirate. Often opting for a tunic like shirt, some leather pants with knee high boots, of course lots of jewelry, and your ever reliable jacket. On occasion you would wear your corset over your tunic of the day, but typically opting for forgoing it.

Today was one of those days where you not necessarily wanted to wear your corset, but rather had to. You see, the guys decided for their first night of Hell Week to visit a little known, but very haunted house in Texas. They couldn’t find anything online about the house or its story, but had been told about it by a fan online. The mystery behind it, not knowing what could possibly be there, is what unnerved you the most and prompted you to bring your blades. The girl online had told them briefly about her experience, being too afraid to delve too deeply. Among her recount though, included a book being thrown at her head. Of course it wouldn’t be a nice spirit, that would be too easy.

You’re sitting in the front passenger seat next to Colby, who was driving, your hand held tightly in his. About halfway from the airport you noticed his hands had begun to shake, so you quickly took one in yours and had yet to let go, too embarrassed to admit you needed it just as much as he. Something about facing the dead after having your life returned to you left you feeling uneasy. Like every spirit you crossed paths with since knew your secret, and they were angry about it.

Before you know it the car is turning off the main road and into the short driveway of the faded pink house. Immediately, you get a sinking feeling in your gut, but you quickly push it away when you turn around to smile at Sam who was speaking into the camera in the back seat. Today it was just the three of you and Kat. You loved the other guys, but sometimes their antics could be a bit much during an investigation. Once the car is stopped the four of you step out and take a look around. Thankfully, because the house is foreclosed, you’re allowed to be on the property so you don’t have to worry about anyone driving past and seeing you. Going inside on the other hand, that you’re not too sure about.

After finishing up the intro for the video, Colby turns to the group and asks if everyone is ready to head inside. There is a hesitant chorus of yes’s that causes all of you to chuckle nervously.

“Don’t worry guys, I’ll protect you from all the scary ghosts,” you say laughing as you grab onto Colby’s hand again. Not wanting to waste any more time, you lead them all to the porch. Walking up the steps you notice a tin cup sitting on the railing of the porch right next to the stairs.

“That’s not weird or anything,” you think to yourself before continuing on to the door.

“How do you think we get inside? You think there’s a window unlocked somewhere?” You hear Kat ask from behind you.

“Hmm, maybe…” you say thoughtfully, your hand already traveling to the doorknob in front of you. To everyone’s surprise, the door clicks open with ease.

“Okay… getting weirder…” you think walking through the entryway. But before you can get any further, you feel a firm hand on your right shoulder. Almost like it’s trying to push you into the floor. Whipping your head around to look at Colby, you ask what he wants.

“What are you talking about? Are you okay?” He asks looking at you with concern.

“I swear I just felt a hand on my shoulder… I’m sure it’s nothing, I’m okay,” you say shaking your head a bit and smile up at him. Everyone else walks in behind you and astonishingly enough, all of them felt it too. You look around the entryway and see stairs to your right with what looks like the remnants of a reading nook to the right of them next to the door. To your left is a sunroom, chimney in the middle of the far wall with windows completely surrounding the remaining wall space. Inside are a few bookshelves on the left, half filled with old books that look to be falling apart, a small couch in the center, and a grand piano on the right. You take note of the fact that the top of the piano is wide open and the fall board, or key lid, is shut with the bench pushed under it.

Moving on, you walk past the stairs and into the living room where you see another, larger couch in the center, another fireplace, some end tables, empty bookshelves, and a large somewhat empty picture frame above the fire place. At first glance, it appears as if nothing was ever in it, but looking closer you can see that a painting had been torn out of it as some of the edges are still sticking out of the frame. This immediately causes you to begin exercising extreme caution, and your hand goes right to one of the daggers on your back.

Behind you, you hear Kat let out an ear piercing shriek as she all but launched herself into your arms.

“What?! What happened? Are you okay?? Kat what’s wrong?” Sam asked frantically, pointing the camera to the ground out of respect for his girlfriend.

“Is a- it’s- it- a- a- r-r-RAAAT!!” She finally gets the word out, still violently shaking in your arms. You all let out a breathy laugh of relief as you attempt to calm the girl down. You all are about to walk into the kitchen when you suddenly hear a rattling noise from the sunroom. Furrowing your brow, you look to Colby and motion for them to go into the kitchen while you investigate.

Walking quietly through the living room, you don’t realize you’re holding your breath as you unsheathe your daggers to hold them in front of you. Your steps stutter when you feel a finger ghost it’s way down the scar across your eye, the one you received in your fight against Captain Flint so long ago. Back when you still gave a shit about him. Chills make their way down your spine as you begin to realize something that utterly terrifies you. You can’t see this one. You could always see the spirits, even after you woke back up, no matter how strong or weak they’ve been. But this one, you can’t see, you can’t hear, you can barely even sense its presence. Like it’s purposefully keeping itself hidden. But from what you can sense, it’s bad. Very bad. It almost feels familiar but you just can’t place it.

Shaking off the feeling, you finally step into the sunroom once again. As soon as you set foot in there though, the grate that had been firmly closed in front of the fireplace came crashing open as dozens of bats came flying out at you. In an instant, you threw yourself to the floor with a loud thud, narrowly avoiding them.

“Shit! (Y/N) are you okay?! What was that?” You hear Colby call from the kitchen.

“I’m fine! Just some bats, a little creeped out, but I’m okay.” You rise to your feet once you confirm the bats have all made their way upstairs. Figuring the noise you had heard came from the bats, you make your way back to the group in the kitchen. As soon as Colby sees you he reaches his hand out for you to grab and asks if you’re sure you’re okay.

“I’m okay, but we shouldn’t linger long. I have a bad feeling about this place. There’s something watching us, but I can’t see it.” You say taking Colby’s hand in yours. He immediately looks worried as he is the only one fully aware of the fact that you can still see spirits.

“You can’t… you’re sure?” Fear written all over his face, he begins looking around as well.

“I’m still here with you guys, alright? Everything’s-“ You’re cut off from trying to calm them all down by a loud, crystal clear, music note chiming across the house. You all freeze before slowly turning your head towards the sunroom once again.

“You’ve gotta be shitting me…” but before you can utter a single other word, you all hear plain as day: a beautiful interpretation of a song you hadn’t heard in a very long time. Coming from the piano that should by no means, be making any noise above a dull thud, let alone playing as clearly as it is. None of your friends can figure out why you just went as pale as a sheet as they wouldn’t have any way of being familiar with this song, for it was one sung on your old ship. One only members of your former crew should know.

“We need to leave. Immediately.” You don’t realize how badly you’re shaking until Colby rests a hand on your shoulder. You’re in the middle of trying to calm down so you can properly protect them when you hear something so jarring, it sends you to your knees. A deep, low hum, the note carrying out across the house.

“The king… and his men… stole the Queen from her bed…”

“What the hell is that?!” You hear Kat shriek from beside you. You’re now on the ground shaking so violently, you can no longer answer her. You now have a feeling as to who this could be. And you have the slightest inkling as to why this being would be so angry with you. Though the thing you can’t figure out is how he ended up here of all places. Somewhere so far from your home that it just doesn’t make sense.

“…and bound her in… her bones… the seas be ours… and by the powers… where we will… we’ll roam…” the deep, unsettling voice continued.

“You guys need to leave.” You tried convincing them to get out of the house. You so desperately didn’t want them to experience a remnant of your past. Especially one as jarring as this.

“Not a chance. I’m not leaving you here alone,” You hear Colby blurt out next to you. Before you can respond though, you hear everyone start screaming as you feel cool metal touch your neck. Right beside your ear, you hear a deep raspy voice say, “sing… the song… be reminded… of yer brethren…”

The touch of the blade seems to bring you back to your senses, as you’re suddenly calm and no longer shaking. You’re about to comply when you see another figure step out of the shadows. This new figure, you can see first off, but has a visible, heavy limp. Each step he takes, accompanied by a loud thump of wood on wood.

“Ye remember him… don’t ye? Or have… ye forgotten us… in this new life of yers…” the being behind you seems to spit out the words “new life”, as if the thought of you having anything remotely good happen would be a sin.

You finally manage to croak out a single word as tears begin streaming down your cheeks, your friends almost completely forgotten now: “John.”

You feel warm liquid trickle down your neck, indicating the skin had now been broken. More screams permeated your consciousness, bringing you back to the present. Looking up at Colby, who is now white as a sheet, you urge them to run. You make the correct assumption that they can at the very least see the blade at your throat. You’re not sure how much they can see but you aren’t taking any chances.

“I won’t leave you! Not after everything you’ve done for us!”

“Please, Colby. Take them and go. I’ll be right behind you,” you said, trying to sound calm and brave. Truth be known, you hadn’t been so afraid since before your death, but you couldn’t let them know that. Finally listening to you, Colby takes Sam and Kat’s hands and runs out of the house with them.

Letting out a sigh of relief you turn back to John, “why- what happened? Why are you here?”

Instead though, the being behind you speaks, “ye mean… ye didn’t hear… we lost… ye were right… shoulda listened to ya… they brought us here… to rot… shoulda just… hanged us wit’ our dignity…”

With this, your suspicions are confirmed. This being- no, this man behind you, is Captain Flint. Instead of being fearful though, you grow angry. So angry you can no longer even bring yourself to ask what happened to John’s leg. Your rage that had been building for over 300 years had finally boiled over. At Flint, Vane, Charleston, even John. Why? Why had they done that to you? You had been nothing but loyal to them. You did anything and everything Flint asked of you, going so far as to keep his stupid fucking secret from the crew! How many brothers had you lost because of them? How many lives were on your hands because of them? All you know is it was so many you still can’t wash off all the blood.

As your rage grows, so does your spirit energy. Something you came to realize you could still manipulate after returning to the physical world. Though instead of controlling it, your anger causes it to grow at a rate you had never experienced. Everything from furniture to photos start violently shaking as doors and cabinets slam open and shut.

“(Y/N)!!”

Whipping your head to your left, you see Colby.

“Colby… Ye silly scallywag… What on Earth are ye doing back here? I could hurt ye…” You think to yourself upon seeing him. But it’s too late, your power has already reached a cataclysmic point of seemingly no return. With the last bit of control you can muster, you send Colby flying back out of the house and slam the door shut.

As soon as the door slams to a close a scream rips from your throat and the last thing you see before blacking out is John reaching for you. You barely hear him say, “I’m sorry,” before your vision fades.

When you come back to you find yourself lying in bed. At home. But how? The last thing you remember is- oh… John. But what happened?

Climbing out of bed you see that you still have your clothes on from before. Though now for some reason your shirt has blood stains all over the collar. Stumbling your way into the living room you’re greeted with a gut wrenching sight. Kat in Sam’s arms, the both of them with tears streaming down their faces, and Colby sitting silently on the couch staring blankly ahead. You step out further and they are alerted to your presence. Kat quickly flings herself at you, sobbing all the while about how scared they were to find you “like that”. Sam gently tugs her away so Colby can step forward and take you in his arms. He squeezes like you’re going to disappear again.

“Guys… what happened back there?” You hesitantly ask them, having taken notice of the blood stained towels in the trash.

“We were so scared. We just… heard you scream and then bangingandthislightand-“ you cut Colby off as he begins speaking faster and faster. Assuming your role of group mom, you sit everyone on the couch so they can explain what happened. To make a long story short, apparently you accidentally blew the house up, sending the spirits over at the same time. When they found you you had been covered in wooden boards and debris, dirty but otherwise unharmed. Though they were highly alarmed to see blood coming from your nose, ears, and eyes. Which would explain your shirt and the towels. You calmly explain to them that there’s nothing to worry about, that just tends to happen when you overexert yourself. Though you have to contain your laughter at the bewildered looks you get from that comment.

You do ask them how they managed to get out of there without getting the attention of the authorities. You chuckle, shaking your head thinking to yourself, “ah, sink me… can’t take these scallywags anywhere,” as they tell you about grabbing you from the debris and high tailing it out of there before anyone had time to show up. “Well… they’d make decent pirates at least.”

You all take some time to decompress together in the living room before branching off to your respective rooms. Walking into your shared room with Colby you announce that you’re going to wash off all the dust and dirt from that house. You can practically feel him staring a hole in your back and you can’t decide whether it’s out of concern or intrigue. You decide to act on the latter and pull your shirt over your head as you walk into the bathroom, playfully tossing it behind you into the bedroom. Behind you you hear an excited little “Ooo!” followed by the pattering of footsteps. He rounds the corner as you’re shimmying out of your pants and turning the water on.

“So… does that shower have enough room for two?” You giggle, looking over your shoulder at him.

“Hm… I suppose it could… if only someone could help me out of the rest of my clothes.” You grin back at him sending him a wink. Turning back around you lift your hair up for him and almost immediately feel his gentle fingers on your spine. Letting out a soft sigh, you feel the clasp of your top come off. The feeling of his lips on your neck and his hands sliding down to your waistband takes over your senses and suddenly there’s only Colby. He’s all you can see, hear, feel. He’s the only thing you crave. Regaining just enough control you step under the warm water and gesture for Colby to follow you.

Since meeting Colby he’s become your happiness. Your entire world. And two years later he proves that you’re his world too. When he takes you to Nassau, back to your home, and proposes to you in the very fort where you spent most of your previous life.

The year following the beautiful proposal, you have your wedding. As Colby puts it, “One fit for a Pirate Queen.” The two of you spend the rest of your life together in bliss, hunting ghosts and chasing happiness.

*Thank you all SO SO MUCH for sticking with me through the Protect You series!! I’m so sorry for the long wait, as a reader I know how frustrating that can be, so I really appreciate you guys!!

Sometimes i get sad af cus i feel like I’m getting old af and I’m nowhere near to forming a family of my own 🥲 but then i tell myself i need to give myself credit cus for being 25 i have a decent car and a house under only MY name, my credit score is almost to 800, a clean record, a reliable job and overall I’m healthy ugh but then i just think of society standards and I’m sad again lmao

[chelemlem]

so so sad about lando today in the sprint 💔 and his bet about ferrari winning by 30s... gorl stop i'm trying to defend that championship mentality dawg in you 😭 but saying that i hope someone (oscar) gave him a hug

sghdjd ok perhaps controversially going to say that idt lando is an unsubstantiatedly self-flagellative dude? most of his public low moments come from feeling solely responsible for a poor showing relative to the performance ceiling of the car/team that weekend. if we alr suck he's not going to be like omg it's MY fault we suck u kno... and seeing how saturday shook out (13s gap to P2 🥲)...... we were never going to convert that win even if bro hadn't bottled lap 1. sad but true

the way i read the ferrari bet line was him being pleasantly surprised with how well we did on a track ill-suited to our car. unfortch managing one's expectations is merely a muscle you develop by virtue of being a mclaren driver (and by extension a mclaren fan 😔). it is what it is !

also Much can be said about the correlation of dawg & mentality with wdc hopes but in the interest of being brief! fast, reliable, driveable car + competent strat dept + manageable politics to performance ratio + scrub teammate...... it's HARD to round up all the tangibles that amount to a gainful title bid. while certainly necessary and useful, dawg alone does not a champion make. and anyways lando has enough of it over the net course of a season

🚨 MENTAL HEALTH CHECK 🚨

How is the ultimate fluffy boi feeling? Amazing posts as always ☺️

Okay I know I’ve got other asks and messages but damn I gotta give this one attention.

@lonely-latte I appreciate you and your friendship and support so fucking much, truly. You posted this on the 2 year anniversary of the man I loved committing suicide, and I was not doing okay. Doing much better now though. ❤️ Thank you for reaching out and checking up on me (along with the numerous, lovely friends in my DMs. I will respond, don’t worry 😭😂)

That being said. Others have also been wanting an update, and I thought this would be a solid avenue for that.

In all honesty, I have not been doing well at all. My life completely fell apart this year after moving away from the toxic, mentally abusive living situation I was in. I lost my job, my car, and then my brother and his wife told me I needed to find a new place to live. On top of the two years before being nothing but traumatic, life-altering events one after the other, it’s been a lot to process and has been very difficult to heal from.

I’ve been more burnt out this year than I have been in a LONG long time, and honestly feel like I hit rock bottom this year. I’ve barely had the energy I need to take care of myself, let alone stay in touch with friends offline and online. I appreciate everyone’s grace and understanding IMMENSELY, and would not have made it through this year without a great number of you, including yourself @lonely-latte.

I’m feeling better now mentally, though I’m sick this week. 🥲😅 I have a car that’s reliable and I love to be in, I’ve got a new job working at a dispensary and it’s so fucking fulfilling and fun (minus the corporate bullshit like not giving your employees sick days 🙄), and I’m in a cozy apartment that I can see myself being in for a few years. Things are MUCH looking up, but there is still so much to process and work through and heal from. Still going to therapy, tho not as consistently since I don’t have a consistent work schedule. All in all… this year broke me down more than ever before but things are looking up and getting better, day by day.

Thank you, @lonely-latte, and thank you to EVERYONE who has been checking up on me and wishing me well. You guys are like my family, and I’m forever grateful for you. 🥹❤️

No but it is so annoying that a team that used to have hardly ever reliability problems is now having them and they are on George's car :( happy for Lewis podium but gutted as George would have scored good points.

Tbf it was probably damage from hitting the wall, these cars are incredibly complex. It sucks a lot but happens 🥲 at least we could see George's incredible recovery drive, although we probably all agree points would have been nicer

[thenighttrain]

Meanwhile me in my lil central european capital just vibin and getting pretty much everywhere by bus, electric scooters or bike. It sucks that not all cities are made to be walkable/have reliable public transport. I studied in a small town in England and although you could get to a lot of places by walking none of the big supermarkets were within reach and the buses were a nightmare (expensive, too!). I do not miss it at all

that sounds so so nice wow you’re so lucky, i really wish all cities were like that :( like it’s 9pm right now and im on the train and then i’ll be taking the last bus home because they don’t run after 10pm. and even then they only come twice an hour or something. and i live 40 mins from the city so if i lived here permanently i would 100% need a car. it’s not surprising that a small town would be even more difficult though, i can’t imagine 🥲 it would be nice to cut down on emissions by not having a car but it’s unfortunately still not practical in most places

Car broke once again.

I can’t hide from it any more. She may be done.

Had this car 10 years. Took her to Minnesota with me (from Gregoria).

Been a real good car but she’s not reliable anymore.

BUT I have to get her fixed again because I don’t have money for a new car 🥲

[swirlysmile]

sooo i have this prompt if you like it: hangman x reader, she's a pilot too but jake finds out she forgot how to ride a bicycle (not like it just happened to me heheheh🥴), you can decide how it goes from there

honestly such a mood. i grew up in utah, hills galore so learning to ride a bike was so hard 🥲 thanks for the request, anon!

warnings; small mention of a wound

Scrapes

“You’re kidding me,” He says. His eyebrows are furrowed, tone dead serious. It would be a little bit threatening if it wasn’t coming from Hangman of all people. 

You’d insulted him, bruised his ego, far too many times to be intimidated by anything he does. 

“I wish I was,” You groan into the palm of your hands. You’re sitting with Hangman in the corner of the bar, and that beer you’re nursing looks far more appetizing than the conversation placed in front of you. 

“I didn’t even know that was possible.” He snickers, almost as if he’s ridiculing you. 

“Yeah, neither did I.” 

“How’d you even find out?” 

You wince, taking another long sip of your beer. Then, you stand to show him the gnarly scab forming on your mid thigh. 

“Fell.” 

He can’t hold back the hearty laugh that erupts from his throat, and any other time you would have been at least a little proud to make him laugh. 

“Don’t laugh, it’s embarrassing.”

“Exactly.” 

You sigh and take your seat again, glaring at him out of the corner of your eye. He’s still laughing at you, the pretentious dickhead. 

“If only I could have been there.” 

“You can ask Rooster. He’s got all of the inside details. It’s too upsetting for me to talk about,” You say, wiping fake tears. He laughs again, and it’s definitely an attractive sound. 

“I could teach you?” He asks, almost a little nervous. It sure snaps you out of your stupor. 

“You say that as if I don’t know how.”

“Yes, because someone who knows how to ride a bike falls in two seconds.” He’s taking another sip of beer and you’re tempted to get up and leave the Hard Deck.

“More like one and a half.” 

Somehow, he convinces you though. You’re sitting on a bike, sweaty hands gripping the handlebars. Both of your feet are on the ground because, fuck that. You’re not toppling over again. 

Your breathing is a little heavy, and Hangman is trying to “coax you out into the light,” as he’d say. Really though, he’s just torturing you.

“Remind me why I promised to let you do this?”

“I paid for all your beer. Now get going, sweetheart.” He grins, giving you a gentle nudge. You’re lucky that you are rooted to the driveway, or you would have fallen again.

“Are you trying to kill me!?” You shout, accusatory tone in tow. He’s shrugging it off, as if to say maybe I am. 

“I’ll be right there to catch you if you fall, darling.” 

“Yeah, because that’s so reassuring Hangman.” 

He knows you’re using his callsign as an insult, but honestly he couldn’t care less. He was just hoping to see an entertaining crash, make some flirty remark, and then have you go on your way. 

He finally manages to persuade you to go. His driveway is on a bit of a slant, so you're going downhill. 

He can’t help himself from laughing when you fall, but he “caught” you. You’re thinking that this is the most reliable Hangman has ever been. 

“That’s it, I’m a lost cause. I’ll never ride again.” 

“Try again, you’ll get it soon, gorgeous.” 

You scoff because, wow. He is laying it on thick, but also because he has too much faith in a girl who forgot how to ride a bike. 

You tell him as much, and he laughs, again. 

Then he has the bright idea of moving to the street. It’s a little bit flatter, probably easier to start on. 

“I’m right here. Good luck.” he calls.

He gives you, or the bike moreso, a little push the second you lift your feet to the pedals, and you’re praying you won’t fall down. 

You’re sure that if you could, without fear of being run over by any passing cars, you’d have your eyes closed. 

Then, in a split second, he’s running up to you to celebrate.

“You did it, you actually did it!” He says, helping you off the bike in a more graceful way. You can’t help but give him a hug.

“We should probably get out of the middle of the road.” You mumble into his shoulder.

“Yeah, probably.” but instead of going to move to the driveway, he moves to give you a kiss. 

“Good job, sunshine.” 

…

the devil works fast but swirly works faster 😉

Liv your life seems so fun 🥲 I feel like you just have crazy stories to tell

here's a story i've been thinking a lot abt lately

last summer i was getting ready to go out for drinks with friends and my phone started ringing while i was putting my makeup on. i just assumed it was one of my friends calling me to find out when i was gonna show up so i just answered the call without looking, but as it was connecting i noticed who was calling me.

it wasn't my friend, it was one of my EXES friends.

this friend and i are chill and i wouldn't say we AREN'T friends but we def don't call one another. we're like... dm eachother frog memes on instagram kind of aquaintances.

so i answer and i'm like "ummmmm hello?"

and he's like "hi liv, sorry to bother you but are you busy rn?"

and i was like "not really what's up"

and he was like "cool! i think (ex) just broke his arm and we need to go to the hospital"

?????

so my ex and his stupid friends were at a lake like 45 minutes outside of the city where i live and they'd been day drinking and this IDIOT decided to do a skateboard trick on a rocky cliff thing that overlooks the lake and ate SHIT and hurt himself and none of them were good to drive so SOMEHOW they used their singular collective braincell and decided i was someone reliable who would probably drive them???

so i had to go pick him and his three himbo friends up and drive them to this rural hospital in the middle of nowhere, but it was peak covid so you were only allowed one person in the urgent care department with you, so I WAS THE ONE who sat there with him for HOURS while he waited for an x-ray and his friends were just hanging out in my car??? (they did walk down the road to go eat at a diner and sober up at some point lmao)

anyway he broke his wrist and i lost my mind

[leqclerc]

autosport published an article with binotto's quotes. I don't want to know at this point what really happened I'll just forget this race 🥲

This one? This man a whole a ass circus 😫 No, I mean, obviously I'm not a mechanic or engineer, I don't know how to fix a driveshaft or how long that takes, but. It's just so frustrating that we were all waiting on news about the gearbox with bated breath and when it turned out that's fine, something else entirely prevents Charles from competing. Again, I don't have the expertise or know-how, maybe this is something you can't accurately check without starting up the car, but...surely if they'd diagnosed the issue beforehand (yesterday for example) they could've changed or fixed the driveshaft? I don't know, sometimes these things just happen, and maybe it's better to get a reliability DNF (DNS?) out of the way now. At least he doesn't have to feel guilty if it had nothing to do with the damage from the crash.

[leqclerc]

Not sure if you’ve been asked this before but i have to ask (as a ferrari fan 🥲) how well do you think ferrari would be this year? Like i know realistically it wouldn’t be far from last year’s performance but a part of me is in denial has hope that they will improve esp looking at their lineup on track. But idk am i just setting myself up for heartbreak?? (Thank you for your time)

Ah, this is a very interesting question! 👉🏻👈🏻 I guess we won’t know for sure until they actually get out on the track and start putting in some laps during winter testing, and even then, the results aren’t 100% accurate, because they’re obviously all being conducted at the same track, in the same conditions (more or less), at the same time of the year. (Throwback to when everyone thought Ferrari were sandbagging. Sadly they weren’t.) Like, the SF1000 was nowhere in warm, dry conditions, but both cars put in a decent performance in a colder, wetter setting (Turkey.) 

So far the news has been positive, but what that entails exactly is anyone’s guess. When Charles was asked about next year’s car throughout 2020 he kept reiterating that they’re expecting improvements, but it won’t be an overnight miracle fix that will suddenly land them 1st or even 2nd. Too much damage was done when they were forced to scrap their entire 2019 design (which was a really strong package but it was built around the engine, which was then deemed not-really-legal) and haphazardly start all over. And that ultimately resulted in the undriveable, unstable monstrosity that was the SF1000. 

That being said, around November Ferrari suddenly had a change of heart regarding the proposed “engine development freeze,” which would mainly benefit Red Bull as they search for a new engine supplier, or figure out a way to make their own in-house the way Ferrari and Mercedes do. This means Ferrari is either confident enough in their newly constructed power unit to allow themselves to agree to that, or they’re being complete idiots. 

Taking all that into consideration, I can see them improving this year, but certainly not enough challenge Mercedes like they did in 2019. I think the car will be able to max out around 6th, 7th, 8th place and the rest will be up to the drivers. It’ll be interesting to see how they perform. I mean, Charles dragged the SF1000 to places it had no right to be, so if the SF21 is even slightly better (enough to comfortably sit in the top 10), then he can use his experience to push it tp 5th, 4th or maybe even the podium positions. It’s difficult to say how Carlos will deal with it. McLaren had its own fair share of problems last season, but they were doing better than Ferrari. Their performance combined with Racing Point’s woes was enough to bag 3rd in the Constructor’s, which is no small feat. Also, as someone pointed out, Carlos was the more “senior” driver and Lando was the rookie, which means that they probably took Carlos’s advice and preferences into consideration over Lando’s. I won’t say the car was “built around him” exactly but he definitely had some input. That won’t be the case with the SF21. The SF1000 didn’t suit Seb and his driving style at all. He had no faith in the car, no confidence, and it showed. If Charles was overly confident and tried to do things with the car that it simply wasn’t built to handle, then Seb was overly cautious and fighting against it the entire time. It’s possible that Carlos will adjust to it better, that maybe his driving style is more similar to Charles’s and that will help him, but again, we won’t know for sure until they start putting in some hot test laps. 

Then on top of that there’s also the issue of reliability. When the new regs came into effect in 2014, Mercedes obviously had the winning formula in terms of speed. But they also had a slew of reliability issues early on in the hybrid era, which not a lot of people might remember. They had several engine fires between 2014-2016, overheating brakes, ERS crapping out at crucial moments, the whole shebang. Building a car that’s quick but might catch on fire at any given moment isn’t going to get you very far. But if Ferrari can improve their performance, fix their understeer issues, and have decent reliability, then...maybe not all is lost. In all honesty though I can’t see them getting back to where they should be until at least 2022 when the new regs come into play.
