The one time everything in the F1 store is cheap and I can't even get most of the sale items because I'm American... I can only get some hats and posters nothing else!

I'll pay the like 4 billion% tariff, or whatever percentage that orange thing put on imports, please I just want an Aston Martin shirt. I don't wear hats so please just let me get a shirt.

This is something completely different than what I normally post, and honestly it's probably the last time I'll post something like this. But anyway, I haven't drawn in literal years and randomly wanted to draw one of my favorite MCYTs, Pangi, so I did.

I only really draw traditionally and I have never drawn a pangolin in my life.

I also went through three different pens while trying to do the line art. All of my actual line art pens are so old they had mostly dried out and I had to do that with a ballpoint pen I found on my floor.

Oh Zeppelin why are you a little weirded out by clouds? They are just moving.

(audio muted, just me and my mom talking about the storm)

Why I'm weirded out by the clouds.

Actually posting this from outside my shelter in case something does happen, which it shouldn't it didn't get hot enough here(I hope). This storm is just giving me the creeps, worse than some of our bad ones did.

Hey so fun fact someones opinions on the Internet don't mean you have to comment mean things on said opinions. Expecally when the post that you are hating on is one about hate. Honestly I'm laughing at this like I don't think this is what you wanted to happen but it's funny.

I don't know you or if this is multiple people, but just know that saying things like this is not okay on my blog. I ask you to never show up again, and the next time this happens I'm deleting your asks and never letting them see the light of day.

Is it okay to be mean to a hater? Probably not but I was raised to stand up for what I believe is right.

Why do you want me to prove myself to you? When, if you actually read what I had just posted, I am obviously tired of doing such. As for seeing myself, it's like anyone else who finds someone they relate to in any media, they like that someone. I can't really read context clue but it looks like someone else can't either...

On my first post about Lance I said "it's okay to have negative opinions but not on my posts." And I fear that still applies, just like common sense.

Thank you and good day.

I'd like to put my oppions in the whole 'Lance is injured' thing, more than what I have already posted obviously.

.

I play a lot of sports, and have played a lot over my 19 years of life. And in every single one I hid my injuries from my: parents, coaches, and teammates because I knew that meant I would have to sit out of the one of the many sports that I loved. It also ment I would be judged by the people around: other parents, the teammates who didn't like me, other coaches in the league (if applied).

People in my life have been very open about hating me, whether it be because I'm autistic and in a sport full of mostly allistic kids or because of where I ranked compared to them/their kid. And this hate has made it hard for me to accept that I don't have to prove people wrong even if my actions are actively hurting my body.

By the age of 5 I was already hiding injuries so I could play both soccer and softball, and as I got older I just got better and better at hiding them. My most recent, hidden, one is a shoulder injury, that probably should of kept me from throwing javelin for the past 3 years, which has been bothering me since I was a freshman. I pushed through because of people judging me for either the way I function or my lack of skills (as a freshman). Yet I kept throwing jav from my freshman year to my senior year, because it was my favorite part of track and I felt I had something to prove.

The only reason I have told anyone about my carpal tunnel is because I can't hold anything with my right hand. If I try I'll either drop it or I won't have enough grip to even lift whatever I try and pick up. When my grip strength wasn't affected as much and it was just numbness and some slight pain I didn't tell anyone because I always feel the need to prove my worth.

What I'm trying to say is that when athletes have this feeling to prove they belong they hide injuries and push themselves to the breaking point of themselves or their injuries (whatever comes first). I fully believe that is what happened with Lance. From experience I know that feeling of wanting to prove the haters wrong, it is rewarding when it happens but honestly it does more harm than good.

To all of those who hate on someone for things out of their control: fuck off, it's not cute, it's not quirky, it's actively harmful and not good for any parties involved. You aren't doing anything cool by hating on someone no matter who the person you are hating is to you. Hate and jealousy go hand in hand, neither are pretty, neither are hot, neither are necessary.

And to those athletes who keep hiding their injuries: I see you, I feel you, I am you in a way... Whether it be because of a love for the sport or the need to prove a point, or both you need to get injuries checked. Don't end up like me where you still need to get 4 different surgeries because of your negligence. Or hell, do be like me and you'll be 3 surgeries in already and yet you still haven't learned from your mistakes.

Thank you to everyone who read this, I get into it when I talk about hate. My childhood wasn't the kindest and I don't wish that fate on anyone. Thank you again and have a good morning/day/afternoon/night

Alles Liebe

<3 Zeppelin

how in god's name am i still seeing "lance doesn't care about f1 anymore" takes literal minutes after it was announced he's been driving with a fucked up wrist for weeks, if not years. if he didn't give a shit, he wouldn't have put himself through so much pain every fucking weekend!

[uatia]

i do hope lance knows that he has a small army at his beck and call ready to defend him at all times. parasocial as all hell but i hope he knows that a bunch of people love him and root for him and want the best for him.

[uatia]

maybe lance would be more comfortable taking time to rest and recuperate if people stopped saying that he doesn't give a fuck about f1. maybe lance wouldn't have gone six weeks and four races with wrist pain if the guy who would've replaced him didn't go on a talk show and laugh with the interviewer when he pulled out a gun. maybe if the world was kinder to lance, he would be kinder to himself.

Chat I'll take blame for Lance being out this race... I think I accidentally like Lance fan-ed to close to the sun or something cause my carpal tunnel is acting up AGAIN.

And guess who is scheduled to get a surgery consultation 👉 ME! So like I'm sorry for my inability to take care of my body...

When I said "he is me" I didn't mean literally yet here we are, wrist pain and all.

So in these trying times here is a small Lance collection!

Honestly some of these are probably repeats from my past... Many... Collections of Lance but oh well enjoy!

this was originally written in a reblog but i decided it needed its own post

literally begging everyone to watch an interview given by baby lance, whether it be 11 year old ferrari junior lance or 18 year old williams rookie lance and understand that he wasn’t always this way, always this reserved and closed off and unexpressive. the media has beaten him black and blue and scrutinised every little thing he says and used any excuse they can to say that he is clearly a spoilt brat who will never amount to anything.

he gives them nothing because they can't make anything out of nothing. but of course they do it anyway, they make him out to be someone who thinks he's 'above it all' 'tired of the sport' 'entitled little shit' when in reality he loves F1 with all he has and hides himself in a protective shell of quiet indifference to try to avoid media scrutinisation.

mark webber once said (in his book) that fernando alonso was a very shy and reserved person in reality. yet when he teamed up with lance, he took on the brunt of the media duties specifically because he knew lance struggled with them.

lance isn't spoilt, entitled, or bored of f1 because he doesn’t express much in press conferences. he's simply incredibly introverted and has been worn down over the years by the constant scrutinisation he has been subjected to by the media.
