#whole life

[hotwheelschili]

Sainz Sr has always rubbed me the wrong way, maybe not like Jos Verstappen levels of ick, but pretty up there… that mentality he taught Carlos from the young age that he has to toughen up if he wants to succeed, I can’t imagine saying to my kid that he can’t be himself and be successful at the same time. And sure, maybe this mentality is right for the sport, but it seems like it’s not right for Carlos as a person which in turn affects him as an athlete because he’s afraid to disappoint his father or embarrass their family name so he has to play up the ‘tough’ act. Idk. My perception is that he’s just different than his dad but he’s been molded into someone else his whole life so there’s a big conflict inside of him. His dad needs to step away from managing Carlos’ career me thinks, I feel like that would bring Carlos at least some peace

I wanna relate the ‘toughen up’ with the way he acts around people, he’s so constructed around patriarcal masculinity that being soft around people is weak and so he has to masc his affection by being rough (ie. his way of showing affection is physical touch but feminine! So I’ll hit and shove and throw you around bc I’m a man and I’m supposed to be rough)

It’s so obvious that senior is the most important member of the sainz family, he’s a renowned sportsman plus I’m guessing he’s the responsible one for the family’s wealth and political power so everyone looks up to him as the leader and so being named Carlos, after him is such a big honor and you’re the only boy! So you have to carry on the legacy of the successful sainz family, so you have to live up to be as great and efficient and be a leader, be a shark, a force to be reckoned with, that’s what you father tells you since you are 6, and all the family around you telling you “you got to be as great as your father”. In a family with such conservative and patriarcal values there’s no room to make a mistake or even be mid, it’s glory or failure, and they won’t hesitate throwing at his face everything they have given him and his only job being to be the person they boast around in gatherings and events.

But Carlos, he’s soft, he show he cares, he doesn’t like putting people down, he never boasts about winning bc he can see that the real fun part was the activity and not the result, ofc he likes winning, everyone does but like with lando, when asked who wins at golf and saying ‘oh in the end we didn’t keep score’ or with charles in the challenges, whenever charles gets too competitive he always offers to share the points instead or recognizing his efforts out loud.

I think he does feel immense pressure of living to his dads standards, show him he can be as good as his dad expects him to be, a carlos sainz as good as carlos sainz and the spanish media have a whole cultural background approach to carlos that he has to be perceived as a tough, emotionless guy, he always sounds snarky and very masculine coded when talking to dazn, very matter of fact. With his country also expecting him to succeed like the other spaniard in the grid with 2 wdc.

I agree with you, if his dad stopped managing him I think he would be able to relax and craft his approach to the sport that he loves in a more personal way and not with his dads expectations but also financial and political interests looming over him.

This was very rambly and messy and the anthropological pov discourse possessed me for a little bit there.

If you have any more thoughts I’ll be happy to read them.

Có 1 nhà sư từng nói rằng người 1 mình không phải là người cô đơn mà họ đã đủ đầy và tự có thể chăm lo cho bản thân không cần đến sự công nhận tình yêu từ người khác.

Người chọn sống 1 mình có thể tự làm bản thân vui vẻ tự do, tự biết giới hạn của bản thân và dành thời gian cho những điều phù hợp với bản thân thay vì chạy theo cảm xúc của người khác khi bị bó buộc vào 1 mqh tình cảm với người ta.

Người chọn sống 1 mình không hẳn sẽ thú vị với người khác nhưng chắc chắn họ không bao giờ buồn.

how do you think the song whole life applies to brio?

Aaa, Anon, ty for the ask. How romantic was this song, amirite?? Like, poor Rio. He very reasonably was so upset with Beth for her attempted murder – so much so that he killed an innocent young woman to show Beth who’s boss – but then was just like, “I can’t. I’m too mentally unstable to fight this so let’s just get married.” How funny is this whole premise of him forgiving her, seemingly without anything on her part to earn it. Not really. She brought him Boomer. Ooooo. She bought him a spa shop to wash his money. Why was Rio so excited about that? She gave him crumbs and he kept coming back.

This show gave Beth a lot of outs and it made Rio so deliciously out of control about her. And don’t get me wrong, I love it all. But sometimes the humor of the implausibility of it all hits me and I can’t help but laugh. Like, sure, this aloof and calculating gang leader is such a fool for this woman that he’s screwing up everything, including risking his life and family. And yet, here we are with these fools. Rio is just damaged enough, and Beth validates him in just the right ways for him to actually risk his entire kingdom for her.

The song choice is just 🤌. This music department wanted to make SURE we all knew that Rio forgives Beth and is back to pining.

The mark where [s]he left me

A clip on my wing

Oh, let it soften

I forgive everything

I once hummed the seasons

Now, I'm whistling

Half of my whole life is done

Let it drift and wash away

Shadows soften toward some tender light

In slow motion I leave them behind

Essentially, translated to, “I’m too old for this bullshit. Let’s start fresh and be friends.”

I keep looking for ways in which this song can be mutually applicable for them, and I’m just not finding it. Beth was nowhere near forgiving him and letting it all “drift and wash away.” She was still in the process of her incremental softening to him. She was still guarded and nowhere near the place where Rio was here. Not even in the final scene. It’s maybe one of the many ways Beth and Rio have a disproportionate relationship and power dynamic. It’s the one consistent thing about them. She never sees it, and to him nothing is more obvious. Her audacity to shoot him and cry victim. Her privilege to move in society in ways he never can. Her demand to matter in his world while never offering him the same privilege. And he’s the one always having to bend. Always having to forgive. So I view this song and their whole relationship as pretty one-sided in that way.

Yes, she chooses him in her own ways. Yes, she has great feeling when it comes to him. Powerful feeling. Frightening feeling. But she uses her own lack if emotional intelligence as an excuse to never be the one to give. We saw her try, in the final moments of the show. We saw her offer him protection. But it cost her nothing. (Well, nothing except her marriage. Nothing except her old self.) She basically won. She self-actualized at his expense. She propped herself up on his strength. She made a joke about it even. And Rio, in true tropey-love-interest fashion, was happy to do it for her and loved her all the more for it. “You got it, boss.”

As you can see, I have conflicting feelings about it. About this song. If pushed, I’d say that season 4 gave Beth forgiveness too quickly. She could have earned it. I wish she would have ended the season and series as a better person. As someone more empathetic and self aware. Which is why I love 4.08. I like to see her cry for him. Watch her watch him suffer. Beth being honest with herself is rare and redeeming. But my feelings about this fluctuate with my mood, so maybe tomorrow I’ll be more forgiving of her frustrating selfishness when it comes to Rio. Don’t come for me. I still love Beth. I’m like Rio – I forgive her everything. If he loves her, then so can I.
