unspoken words | l. ackerman

synopsis: ‘Through thick and thin’ is something you will never forget telling Levi on your wedding day even when your marriage seems to be falling apart at the seams.

wc: 1k

tags: angst with happy ending + minors and empty blogs DNI still please + repost from my old blog + modern au but with canonverse season 4 spoilers if that makes sense so block #aot spoilers if you don’t want to be spoiled or anything + crying + any missing tag lmk!

“Levi just let me-” You began getting cut off as he waved his hand in the air ignoring your stare as he moved by himself, there was nothing you could do but watch feeling your heart crack seeing him, the man who everyone deemed so strong has now crumbled to this.

He hissed in pain shifting his weight to get more comfortable before looking at you, shame colored his silver eyes as he gazed at you.

“Can you push me out to the car?” He asked so quietly you weren’t sure you even heard him but nonetheless, you grabbed the bag stuffed with dinner tonight that Kuchel was holding at her house.

You grabbed the handles and wheeled him to the front door grabbing the keys trying not to let the tears stream down your cheeks, if you wiped at your eyes then you knew Levi would say something and it would just blow up more than it already has.

Silently you opened the door and pushed him outside shutting and locking the door. Turning around you glanced up at the sky seeing clouds slowly turn gray, a beautiful bright day now dampened just like your mood.

Ever since Levi came home from the hospital he’s pushed you away more times than you could count and the endless fights left you on the couch most nights unable to comfort your husband.

You sighed and opened the car door helping him inside before folding the wheelchair and putting it in the back.

More silence settled in the car when you got in the driver’s spot sitting there holding the steering wheel debating on if you should say anything.

“Are we going to sit here all day?” Levi asked looking at you.

His tone was a bit harsher than what he wanted, a look of hurt flashed across your face before starting the car and pulling out of the driveway. So many thoughts swirled around in your head thinking of the vows you made him wondering if he was going to keep his.

“Are you not going to use your turn signal? And you need the right lane or you’re going to miss your turn. My mom has been texting me non-stop about this damn shitty dinner.” Levi grunted and rolled his eyes watching you weave in and out of the lanes.

“I know where I’m going. We’ve been to your mom’s a lot of times.” You replied cooly trying to keep a level head, all the stress of him fighting and pulling away left you angry and alone but you didn’t blame him, the sudden change threw him for a loop and now he has to rely on you for almost everything and you did so without one word even though Levi was a bit brash with you.

Tears stung the back of your throat again as you focused on driving still missing the turn. “You missed the damn turn, what are you doing? Are you even paying attention?” Levi asked and huffed looking out the window.

You turned to look at him with a watery gaze as you pulled over on the shoulder gripping the steering wheel.

“I have been nothing but good to you ever since your accident and you have been nothing but awful to me. I cook and clean for you then I bathe you afterward and this is the thanks I get? I’m your wife Levi, not some fucking nurse you can speak to that way. I love you but dammit you’re being an asshole to me.” You blurted and looked at the road again.

Levi stared at you slowly chewing on your words knowing you’re right, it wasn’t fair because you put everything on hold to take care of him, your sweet words and touch at night whispering how you still love him and will always think he’s your hero.

He was never good with words that didn’t usually hurl insults or shit jokes but now he was stunned in silence as you finally pulled the car into Kuchel’s driveway seeing her standing on the front porch rushing to the vehicle opening Levi’s door.

You got out and took a moment to collect yourself pressing your sleeves against your eyes hearing Kuchel grab the wheelchair and help Levi in it. “Are you coming in dear?” She asked walking around the car to look at you with a soft smile.

“Yeah, I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Just leave me out here with her please,” Levi said looking at his mom then you leaning against the trunk holding your arms. Kuchel kissed the top of his head and walked back inside to peer out the window. “I’m sorry, I know I’ve been an asshole to you.”

“I don’t think right now is a good time to get into this, let’s just have dinner and go home. I’m exhausted.” You said standing straight walking past him, he quickly grabbed your hand and looked down at the ring he slipped on your finger two years ago pressing a light kiss to the shining diamond.

“I’m having trouble adjusting to everything and you’ve helped me more than anything. Thank you.” His words and tone were soft reminding you when you both stood under the altar confessing your undying love to each other in front of your family and friends.

The rain broke from the clouds drizzling over you and Levi as you stared down at him squeezing his hand, so many unspoken words were left between you as you sat down on his lap burying your face in his neck.

“I love you so much, thank you for being there for me when I need you the most,” Levi whispered hugging you tighter to him afraid that you would vanish in thin air if he let go.

Mc stuck in a Car with the Dateables & Luke

Diavolo:

doesn´t know how to drive and even if he did he wouldn´t be allowed to which means your the one forced to drive and honestly driving around with Diavolo feels like driving around with a toddler who never left their hometown and is incredibly curios about everything

if you would ever come across a tourist trap Diavolo would beg you to stop and look at it and with his puppy eyes it´s hard to say no

and as much as you want to say your annoyed with his behavior in a really weird way it´s kinda adorable how excited he is about everything

but you definitely have to stop him from buying everything they have to bring back for the others

the Car might be big but not big enough to fit everything in there that Diavolo wants to buy

honestly it´s a surprisingly nice drive

Barbatos:

Barbatos is the one driving and will throw you out if you try to get behind the wheel, he´s very insistent about this fact

but besides that he´s the perfect drive, granted his normal look freaks people out but he doesn´t do anything

but he might need some pointers on how normal people act because acting like a Butler would seem pretty odd to most people

and the fact he decided to use his creepy smile most of the time, one person even thought he wanted to rob them which Barbatos just scoffed at, it was a kinda funny situation because the then where insulted that he didn´t want to rob them

he´s kinda in between in terms of driving partners but at least it will be an interesting journey

also he brings some self made sweets for you so no complaining here, even if he did throw you out of the Car because he thought he saw a mouse

Solomon:

horrible driving partner and should not be allowed to be behind the wheel

like you get into so many Car incidents with Solomon but for some reason both of you are always fine???

the Car was flipped, literally on fire and you were pretty sure you landed in the remains of the wind shield but nothing was wrong with you, no concussion, no scraps or anything bleeding, hell you didn´t even get any bruises!

you have no idea how he does it because he swears that he doesn´t use Magic and you believe him because you didn´t notice any which just makes everything worse

at this point you´ll just believe that universe wants him to survive and when you´re with him your included with that

he´s definitely the worst person to drive with when he´s the driver, he´s kinda okay as passenger but he does want you to try some of the “food” he made

Simeon:

he´s a perfect driver but that might be because Luke´s in the backseat, why is Luke with you? because that´s a family trip

also the only person who could have watched him would have been Solomon and neither of you are cruel enough to leave Luke alone with Solomon for an extended period of time , especially if Solomon wants to cook him something

but it´s pretty nice to drive with Simeon even if he did ignore the rules nobody would stop him, the only thing you could ever complain about is that he drives like an old man

multiple speedsters just stopped to scream at you and were confused why he looks so young and Simeon took as a compliment

at least if somebody would have gotten to rude you were there to put them in their place

after that they won´t be so rude, maybe they won´t do anything at all after your “talk” with them

but then you would have to deal with Simeon giving you a disproving look

Luke:

Simeon is the one driving, you sitting besides Simeon and Luke is in the background in his Child seat being bored because he´s forced to sit still and doesn´t want to play any games and he´s honestly just a 10 year old going “are we there yet?”

but despite being bored he doesn´t want to play any games you brought and the puzzle he wants to do is impossible because the Car moves to much which kinda makes Luke a bit cranky, which he would never admit but it´s clear to you and Simeon

Luke is going to be so happy when you take a break and he can finally stretch his legs, but you and Simeon do have to keep a look on him he sometimes wanders off

at least he´ll tire himself out and falls asleep while you and Simeon have to keep driving

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me headcanons #obey me imagines #obey me diavolo #obey me barbatos #obey me solomon #obey me simeon #obey me luke

Then I ran to the window and cried to them. They looked up at me stupidly and pointed, but just then the "hetman" of the Szgany came out, and seeing them pointing to my window, said something, at which they laughed. Henceforth no effort of mine, no piteous cry or agonised entreaty, would make them even look at me. They resolutely turned away.

Looking at this through a lens of "hey maybe they aren't all racist stereotypes and actually would like to help". Admittedly the laughter and deliberate ignoring makes it harder this time around to interpret their reactions as anything but mocking. But it's that last line which I find most compelling. Resolutely. It can imply a sort of effort being put into turning away, that it might be very difficult to do. Like they find it genuinely painful to have to ignore someone screaming and begging for help. But they know they do have to.

Who knows what the hetman said. The laughter makes it seem like a joke, though a mean-spirited one. But maybe this is more of that black humor the coach driver showed on May 5 when he made jokes about Jonathan likely meeting many fierce dogs before he sleeps. He "looked round to catch the approving smile of the rest" with this line, and I think that making macabre jokes is a very human reaction to being force to deal with/live under the rule of Dracula. To a certain extent, what else can you even do but try to laugh about it? So perhaps the hetman says something along the lines of, "The Count's beloved guest is not so excited to continue his stay," and everyone laughs because yeah, you can say that again. But they all stop looking at him right away, because he is the Count's beloved guest and they know what that means. If Dracula wants to keep him then trying to help in any way would only bring danger down on their own heads. Also, by trying to ignore him, they're trying not to acknowledge that they are leaving someone in this situation.

If we go with the "the guy last time genuinely tried to deliver Jonathan's letter but Dracula took it from him by force" interpretation then perhaps one person has already been harmed or even killed for trying to aid this 'guest'. Maybe they've been warned about him prior to their arrival, even, told specifically not to acknowledge him. Who knows. Meanwhile, from Jonathan's POV, of course their laughter feels mocking, of course their avoidance is painful - not only because another shot at hope is slipping away but because they seem to be playing right into the view of them which Dracula himself worked to predispose Jonathan towards: loyal to Dracula and not caring about his plight.

But I personally like this interpretation much better. Not only is it less of a caricature, but it reinforces the trend of people/side characters for the most part being basically good and wanting to either help or just do their jobs, but getting used by/unable to stand up to Dracula along the way. Also, the disconnect between them feeling deeply uncomfortable and cracking jokes/avoiding looking at Jonathan to try and deal with that - but as a result of these actions being read by him as showing evidence of genuine amusement/lack of care - is honestly really good tragic horror to me.

Especially when it comes after this line: "With joy I hurried to the window..." I'm pretty sure that's the only time Jonathan has used the word 'joy'. Even despite his failure last time (and despite using some racist/insulting descriptions of them), he was initially delighted to hear and see other people. And then it all came crashing down, once again. The impact hits even harder if you choose to believe they didn't want this either, I think.

this is directed to you social-psychological anon (my goat <3)!!

you’re so right. max literally cares soooo much about what charles thinks of him. when anyone has anything bad to say about max, he doesn’t really care, has a short and cold response to it, or just laughs it off (if it’s someone he knows doesn’t mean it, like lando joking “max ruins everything”). point is he doesn’t really care that much. however, a few years ago an interviewer asked charles what was annoying about max and they made max respond to it, which is so weird but we roll anyways lol. charles goes “annoying? i don’t know. i guess he can say weird things to the media. but that’s okay, he has personality. personality is important.” (this isn’t an exact quote but it’s along the lines of what he said!). he barely even says anything bad, and he immediately compliments max right after. however, max got so upset about it. he immediately goes “I DON’T CARE WHAT HE THINKS!! >:(“ he took it much deeper than he usually does about not great comments toward him. whole country booing him? he doesn’t give a fuck. charles says a barely insulting (not even) comment? he takes that shot so personally 😭 it just shows how important charles’ opinion is to him. fascinating….

Social-psychological anon, another admirerer who shares their own wonderful insight to this analysis. ❤️

And I'd like to throw in my own two cents here, because there is absolutely something truly marvellous about how Max could not give less of a fuck about what other people think of him, no matter who it is. But with Charles? There is some deeprooted urge within him, a desperate desire for Charles' approval, that just gives him a whole other response to anything that may even be slightly interpreted as negative if it comes from Charles.

Your example with that video of Charles being asked if Max is annoying, and Max's clearly bothered response is excellent. Had that been anyone else — a reporter, another driver, literally anyone who is not Charles Marc Harvé Perceval Leclerc — he wouldn't even have batted an eye. Hell, he probably would have grinned as if whoever it was had just given him a massive compliment. But because it was Charles, and because Max for some reason decided that Charles was sort of insulting him (even when he absolutely was not — quite the contrary, the way I personally view it), just gives away just how much Charles' opinion of him means to him. And that is a huge deal, given how Max Emilian Verstappen is very well-known for not giving a flying fuck about what other people think of him.

I think a lot of this boils down to the fact that it's Charles. The guy Max has fought against for most of his racing life, the boy who grew up alongside him in karting, the guy his own father believed was predestined to fight him on track forever, even in F1. (Which is high fucking praise from Jos Verstappen.) Max and Charles have been tied together for as long as Max can remember, and for as long as they're both competing in the same league, Max will think of Charles as the rival to beat. He will think of Charles as the one driver on the grid with the biggest chance of giving him a proper fight, even when he so clearly can't.

Take this season, for example. We haven't gotten to see many battles between Max and Charles for obvious reasons (Ferrari being absolutely abysmal for most of the season), but the few times we have gotten to see it? Max will go fucking wheel-to-wheel with Charles as if they're both in the running of winning the WDC and the winner will be decided based on who comes out victorious out of that particular turn. It doesn't matter that Max knows that he's going to get past Charles. It doesn't matter that Max knows that Charles won't actually be able to fight him for a race win unless Max is starting from far back on the grid and Charles isn't. It doesn't matter that Max knows the car Charles is driving and the strategies his own team are throwing at him aren't up to par. None of that matters, because fighting Charles Leclerc and seeing him as his biggest rival is so deeply ingrained into Max's entire racing identity that he will treat every battle he gets against Charles as if it's a battle that will decide the title even if it fucking kills him.

And that right there? That deep-rooted respect and admiration for Charles? The same kind of deep-rooted respect and admiration Charles has for him? That connection that has taken them from "hating" each other in karting, to civil colleagues in F1, to an actual, genuine friendship that they so clearly both treasure incredibly dearly, as proven by the blatant shift in the vibe between them recently? That's the reason as to why Max, despite clearly not giving a flying fuck about what anyone else thinks of him, will always care about what Charles thinks of him. That's why Max goes to such extreme lengths to behave differently around Charles than he does with any of the other drivers, and why he treats Charles so differently from everyone else. Because not only does Max know and respect Charles' boundaries and his preferred way of being treated, but he wants to do it right. He wants to exist within the same space as Charles and do it well. He wants Charles to enjoy and look forward to their interactions as much as Max himself does. And to this day he craves that approval from Charles as much as he probably did when they were kids, but back then he was too hot-headed and stubborn to realize that the "hate" he felt towards Charles was actually nothing more than the excitement and slight fear of seeing such a massive part of yourself reflected in someone else — someone you were supposed to hate.

I've seen it mentioned so many times in different posts on Tumblr, but it's absolutely true what they say: Max is so much softer around Charles than he is around anyone else, and treats Charles with a sense of care I am yet to see with any of the other drivers. Which, to me, is such a testament to just how much he values Charles' opinion of him.

Hey! 7 for Maura; 8 for Nora; and 10 for Trystan. :)

Happy to see some Maura love as always!

#7 for Maura:

Maura has called her sister, Silja many many awful names, insults, pretty much the worst of the worst things you can call a sibling. At one point she's even wished she wasn't related to her, because Silja "was too bossy, too controlling and just is a fucking menace to be around" and every time it hurts Silja more and more but she's learned that her sister doesn't mean those words and it's just because she's tired of being babied and coddled up and Silja being more of a "third parent" figure than her own sister.

Of course, when Silja ends up dying, Maura can never take those words back or apologize, which literally kills her from within. No matter how much she goes back to her grave to apologize and seek forgiveness, she knows she might never get to hug her sister back again. It's why she thinks she gets wounded so easily - Maura feels like she deserves a thousand bruises for all the awful things she said growing up and constantly fighting with her sister when she's been ensuring the other gets to live.

#8 for Nora:

I'm sick of answering in paragraphs so here's a list lol:

This should be no surprise, but throwing things. You can't beat her at darts or bowling or shooting at balloons, she's going to get kicked out of the place for winning everything.

Cooking. Nora learned the skill as a kid to support herself after her dad became emotionally and physically unavailable for a year after her mother's passing.

Soccer. She can still juggle really well. Athletics to some extent. She can run.

Knowledge of public transport. She's pretty good at reading maps and following along. No need of GPS or Google Maps, she's replaced her mind with that of a taxi driver's.

"Look up stuff" which people now call research. Nora got good at it after writing a million book reports and now it helps her surf through a library with ease and look up facts on the internet.

Repairing stuff. Jimmy taught her everything from fixing leaky taps to troubleshooting computers to repairing cooking handles to changing tyres and work with constraints, in general. So even if Nora can't fix something (or find a Youtube tutorial), she can work with constraints.

Driving!! Nora once drove her dad's car for a block as a part of winning a bet. Jimmy taught her all the basic mechanics of driving before she could even turn 15-16, so by her driver's license procurement, she was already ready.

Quick math. She's horrible at it but hey, she learned it.

And that should be it lol.

#10 for Trystan:

I can't really find voice claims and samples, so I'll try my best to describe what Trystan would sound like:

Drakovian accent, of course. I'd say it's got that Eastern European-lilt in it, it's very crisp and clear if I can describe it that way.

I'd say he has a little deep voice in terms of how "deep" it is? It's not too baritone, it's just enough to give him a nice singing voice and a very impressive vocal range.

As for accents and stresses - he tends to stress on the s's and the z's, has a more softer roll to his r's and it's a little difficult for him to make a softer "th" sound, most of his "th"-sounds aren't cushioned by the 'h', so they're very sharp in that area. He also deepens his "o"'s a little and sometimes his u's. I want to look into this a little bit more because this is practically begging a fic on its own.

As for if he's picked up any American accent in his time in New York, well it wasn't anything too drastically different. His emphasis and stresses on the vowels and consonants grew a little softer, a little more blunt on edge and he picked up a couple of slang and that's pretty much it.

___

Thanks for the ask Elsa!

Swimming Lessons

Part 1/3

A/N: Soo I did it thanks to @mal-urameshi for the idea.

Summary; Okoye puts Riri in swimming lessons. Okoye meets er daughter's swimming coach Attuma. Okoye isn't going to do anything except look at him that's all.

Tag gang: @mal-urameshi @pantherheart @somethingcleaverandwhitty

Okoye would say she is a pretty okay mom. The greatest but enough that her daughter wouldn't die by her negligence. And like any helicopter parent Okoye put her three-year-old in swimming lessons. As much as she loved her daughter, Riri was a menace in a loving way. Riri couldn't sit still when she gets her hair done or sitting her car seat. So what does any parent do when they have an active child putting in classes.

Okoye had her daughter in ballet, karate, and piano lessons. The young mother was doing everything to keep miss.busybody from being too busy in her room. Plus on some mommy blog it said it was important for Riri’s age group to socialize with their peers. And her daughter was a genius but she just read the room incorrectly sometimes.

“Oh Riri,” Aneka greeted as she wrapped her arms around the young girl. Aneka took her job as the fun auntie very seriously always trying out for her niece.

“It’s been ages since I’ve seen you,” Aneka commented as she glared at her sister,” It’s almost like someone is keeping you away from me.”

"She needs to run this energy," Okoye reasoned to Aneka as she rolled her eyes. Her sister squahed down to Riri's height as she gave her a piece of candy.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Riri shouted as she hug her aunt. Okoye rolled her eyes, "That's why she is in so many classes."

Aneka scoffed at the insult, "Hey she's needs some fun in her life. And it's not like you and Ayo are going to do it?"

"She's needs structure-“ Okoye started.

"in her life. This is the foundation she needs and going to rely on when she gets older, I know I know," Aneka finished her sister's statement.

"It's good to know you listen to me every once and while," Okoye responded. Aneka waved her hand not taking what her sister was saying to her seriously, "So what's the next class that my Riri have to go to now? How to detonate a bomb?"

Okoye rolled her eyes before she can tell her sister about her daughter's next class. Riri jumped up and down, "I'm going to learn how to swim!"

Aneka's lighten up around her niece, "Really? That sounds like fun."

Riri nodded, "Yeah and I'm learning how to swim like swordfish because they swim really fast."

"Really where did you learn about that?" Aneka asked Riri puffed her chest loving the special attention that her aunt was giving her, "Mama and me went to the library today."

"Can you show me the book you got from the library?" Aneka asked Okoye inwardly groaning knowing her sister was going to give her unneeded advice from the peanut gallery. Aneka stood back up to her normal height, "I'm just saying I find it funny how you're the only one entertaining and taking care of her while you know who isn’t doing his share of the work.”

Okoye could only pressed her lips together as she waited for her sister to finish with rant with her good for nothing ex-husband. From Okoye’s view they went into marriage too fast and were pressured by their parents and traditions that their relationship just frizzed out.

“I mean the only good thing that happened from that relationship was having Riri,” Aneka commented as she was finally getting to the end of her rant. Okoye just nodded along letting her sister finish her ranting about her ex-husband. Okoye's eyes followed her daughter's movements between her bouncing on her toes while reading.

"Thanks for your unneeded advice," Okoye said as she moved closer to take her daughter's hand quickly leaving her sister's apartment.

"Are you ready for your swimming lesson?" Okoye asked her pebble as she buckled her in. Riri nodded, "Yeah, I can't wait to tell VIv and Miles about it."

Okoye went to the driver's seat. She looked through the reflection mirror at Riri, "Let's go, swordfish."

#attuma x okoye #attuma of talokan #general okoye #single mom in your area lol #daughter! riri #mama!okoye #mama okoye and daughter riri #riri williams #okoye x attuma #fanfiction #ao3 #fanfic #writing #romance

Let's get some things clear because I am honestly tired of seeing these statements related to Lance and it's just frustrating to see it every race when he does good/bad:

- Lance likes/loves being an F1 driver. You can't blame him for seeming unenthusiastic when the car just seems to keep getting worse. He wanted to be an F1 driver and just because sometimes he seems lack luster doesn't mean that still isn't his dream. In fact he has made it clear multiple times that his time to F1 is limited (we don't know how long) and if he didn't want to be there anymore he would just leave.

- Lance isn't boring. Just because someone is not as talkative to the media or has such a marketable personality like Lando/Daniel doesn't mean they are boring. In fact if you listen to any podcast/interview he feels comfortable in he is such adorably passionate about sharing information/talking to others.

- Is Lance there because of his father's financial situation? Obviously. But no driver would be in F1 without money. Whether it be the parents money, sponsors or an academy driver, F1 is such an expensive sport that once you are there you are almost guaranteed to be a multimillionaire. No one there is poor and no one got there just by pure talent.

- He has no talent. Just plain wrong. He won so many junior championships that Ferrari took him on as a junior at such a young age. He has as one of the only non top team drivers achieved people in the last 5 years and he isn't one of the youngest podium sitters for nothing.

- He crashes a lot. Yes, Lance has had his fair share of DNFs maybe more than your average. But if you truly look at crashes many especially in 2020 where accidents where he simply just a victim of bad circumstances. Maybe he had some crashes with others (most also been able to be seen as race accidents or even having been seen as that.) But the whole he "has no spacial awareness" thing is just painting a wrong narrative. Like every driver he has obviously grown but even in his first year the fault more often than not was not his. And there's certainly many more likely candidates you could use this argument pretty strongly for.

- He's only in F1 because of the money. Again, look at his junior career. So impressive. Besides money and talent are both required for F1.

- He is always blaming others. An argument that I weirdly enough have seen a lot. Don't know how or where it even came from. I have never seen Lance outright blame any driver. Never. Saying "I gave someone space" is literally a standard race driver answer.

- The various forms of insults for locks. Listen, I get it we all have different tastes and think different things when seeing someone. All of us internally comment on appearance. And I don't need everyone to find another person attractive. I am sure I myself have used harmful nicknames to refer to drivers which I deeply regret. But can we stop acting like just because someone is not conventionally attractive that automatically makes them ugly? Everyone finds different things attractive. Hell, I have never understood the appeal for drivers like Daniel/Charles (sure I see they are good looking but I just personally don't feel anything when acknowledging that. ) And yet I have never commented on that because it's just unnecessary? If I just don't see an appeal I accept that and move on?

- The weird shame spiral thing about finding Lance attractive? Listen if you just now find him attractive, that's okay! Taste changes, sometimes certain circumstances affect attractiveness etc. There's nothing wrong with only later on seeing someone as attractive. But don't act like you committed a crime by doing it. It makes it seem like there is something shameful, that there is something wrong with finding him attractive. It is harmful and frankly disgusting.

- Stroll is stupid. The amount of times I hear this or see some from of this if Lance dares to speak for more than 4 words is astonishing. Just because someone tends to repeat words doesn't make them stupid. Just because someone has a voice that's different doesn't make them weird? I for one find Lance talking manners really charming. There's something about his almost boyish-enthuasim that is very endearing to me. And if it isn't too you that's fine! But making fun of someone's speaking manner or even voice when you know perfectly well that nothing can change about that is just hurtful.

If you don't mind me making another long post, I'll talk about the current view I had for a part 2 and the what I thought of the characters first thought of the twins. Feel free to correct anything I miss interpretate, we currently don't have too much about the town's folks individual options on the twins and their Pokémon.

I sorted the town's folks into categories based on their opinion on Pokémon instead of the twins themselves but quite a few probably would be cut from the actual chapter unless I made a part 3

Likes Pokémon:

Jas, Vincent, Evelyn, George, Wizard

(George likes Pokémon but doesn't appear to, kinda like the dog owner who insults their dog but still gives it a treat. He might like their Pokémon but he doesn't like the twins because he doesn't want them to mess up the train station.)

Lukewarm about Pokémon:

Alex, Elliott, Harvey, Emily, Leah, Maru, Penny, Caroline, Clint, Gil, Gunther, Linus, Marlon, Marnie, Robin, Willy

(Alex, Elliott, Emily, Maru and Penny are all scared of Pokémon but think they're interest/cool but will observe from a safe distance. Penny is the most scared but also most intrigued)

(Harvey, Leah, Caroline, Linus, Marnie and Willy are scared of Pokémon but have more a neutral option of them and see they more like unprodicatable animals. Harvey favours Klinklang since its the least dangerous looking (and I like to think the Klink line is associated with anything with mechanics like the air force). Linus has mixed feelings about Garbodor, he feels a kinship since they're outcast but has a dislike since she might steal his dinner.)

(Clint, Gil, Gunther, Marlon and Robin are scared of Pokémon but aware that they can be tamed and are often used in their jobs outside of Stardew. Clint would like Boldore. Robin would like Gurdurr. Gunther is aware of fossil Pokémon.)

Plain fear of Pokémon:

Sam, Sebastian, Abigail, Hailey, Gus, Jodi, Lewis

(Sam, Sebastian and Lewis try not to show their fear but would run away if a Pokémon got too close.)

Hostility towards Pokémon:

Shane, Demetrius, Kent, Pam, Pierre

(All hostility mainly stems from parental overprotectiveness but witha small. Since Pam was the original bus driver, she possibly had seen some Pokémon battles outside of Stardew and seen how strong they could get. Kent is probably the only one to never fully like Pokémon.)

HI! Doctorsparkle here! Takadanobaba showed me your ask and well ... he is letting me take the stage on this main replay! I got to say tho Kraken! You are on the right tracks! I have to say you are amazing for paying attention to so many details and nuggets we have placed throughout various posts!

Your fanfic based on the mod is amazing as well and we are glad for all the ideas you have thrown at us. It really helps us when we are stumped.

Few things about some characters.

George - George’s relationship with Submas Twins is - Tolerating their presence.

Ingo and Emmet have a good relation with their wife, Evelyn, and they know that Evelyn adores Pokémon. (He knew she had one, as did he... when they where in their younger years before Stardew got rid of them. Evelyn had a Bellosom. While George problem had a a Crab-Related Pokemon. Like Krabby or Dwebble, really family Pokémon. They weren't trainers, just average folk.)

And since they have a good relation with the wife, well, you know the saying, happy wife. Happy life. As for his views on the train station.. he really doesn’t care… simply due to his age, him being wheelchair bound... and there has been dialogue related to him how he isn’t religious but since he is up there in age he preys to Yoba. (To which I can relate to, George and Evelyn as characters based on my own personal experiences with older family members.)

So really he doesn’t like the twins but as long as his wife is happy and the Pokémon are nice. He doesn’t care what they do… He's probably glad to have some form of company.

Harvey - Harvey is most definitely going to like Klinklang, however, he still views it as dangerous. Every Pokémon the Submas twins has is dangerous in their own way…. For Klinklang tho… well... giant spinning gears. And moving parts. If anyone who has worked with heavy equipment or machinery. Gears and sharp can be dangerous. Get your clothing stuck in there and well— RIP your arm or leg. Or your favorite outfit. He will still be wary and cautious about all moving parts on a Pokémon. Organic or Mechanical. Hence why he harps on the twins about their health more than anything. It's a hate-love relationship. Think of a nagging parent. He doesn’t outright dislike Pokémon but he just can’t turn off his doctor brain. Ya know?

Views on Job Related Pokemon

(Robin, Clint, etc) - LOVE THIS TO BITS! However, do keep in mind that Stardew Valley is isolated… it is a separate region. So, unless you're someone like Pam who travel across Stardew Valley. You're not going to see a Pokemon. Or a Pokemon Battle. I bet you no one even knows what a Pokemon Battle is.

I think they would learn about how Pokemon can help them with their own professions through casual talks with the Submas Twins when they have to say ask Robin for a commission or head down to Clint's to get some metal work done. The knowledge of Pokémon is lacking…. Which feeds into the fear and stigmatization of them. Knowledge is power. The government will most likely be censoring Pokémon related media... except for a few things that fall through the cracks like fashion magazines.

Which we’ll segway into… Hailey and Emily - They will most definitely fear Pokémon, however, we have some plans for the two with Elesa! They will know a little bit about Pokémon but only through fashion magazines. So think cute Pokémon like Happiny or Pachirisu. Anything bigger then a cat… forget it. They will be terrified of all of Submas Pokémon but over time it’ll dull down… they’ll still be jumpy but its not an outright dislike. Just... they prefer to see them from afar or in fashionable clothing in a book or magazine.

Gus - Definitely a fear of Pokemon... however! There are some exceptions. Joltik. And Garbador. Joltik I won’t go into details just yet, but one shows up in an event where Gus is. Garbador tho, think of Linus. Gus will most likely think of Garbador like Linus… so he isn’t scared of them. Plus. They keep the trash clean… so no raccoons or rats near the establishment. Lol. He'd be happy that no food/trash would go to waste and they make less of a mess than the other scavengers, so it's better to have it go to them.

Demetrius - Now he is a complicated one. I would say yes to hating Pokémon HOWEVER, there is definitely some character growth and development with him simply due to how Maru interacts with Pokémon and how much Stardew Valley is changing.

There is dialogue about Demetrius saying it's better that Stardew Valley- or this case the Ferngill Republic- is isolated. He could hate the Pokémon and dislike the twins at first because they are breaking the norm.

Maru, on the other hand, is absolutely fascinated about the changes. Scared and wary, but in awe of the Pokémon. The scientist in her is wanting to challenge the norm, while Demetrius is conservative and stuck in his ways… we’re also not a 100% concrete on this concept yet due to needing to double check dialogue and how his personality is in game but for Demetrius definitely a character development kinda guy.

As for how Stardew Valley relates globally with the Pokémon world stuff, I have been going off of the Setting article on this Wiki here

It shows a very pixel crude map of Ferngill Republic and Gotoro Empire. They are both continents or in this case regions.

You can’t drive to Ferngill Republic through Unova or any other Pokémon region. Only way to get there is by flight and then travel by bus. However when the train-station is up and running there will be Surfliner Routes, theoretical underwater train lines, or a giant bridge.

In Black and White and Black and White 2 there are the Wifi-Lines. I believe these to be international lines that connect to other regions. So, say for example, a train from Kalos deciding to go to Unova via this Wifi-Line or the Cyan Line. etc. etc. since Stardew Valley and Ferngill Republic has been isolated, banned on Pokémon etc. Passenger lines cannot travel on these train lines… also with the state of the station in Stardew, it probably isn't the best either.

The Ferngill Republic, however, conducts Agricultural and Economic trade with the other regions. Tomatos, meat, etc. due to possibly how taboo it is in some regions to kill and to eat Pokémon. Even though Magikarp and Slowpoke Tails might be a delicacy... the culture surrounding Pokémon as being our friends, family, partners in life... well you wouldn't want to murder Mr. Mittens now would you. That wouldn't sit right with some people.

So with the train station being rebuilt, expect a lot more economical benefits etc. and trade.

Hope this least clears up some things but also.. I just info-dumped like Ingo LOLOL. Aaaaaah…. Theres definitely a lot more I can write. Guess you can say… i’m like Lore Keeper Dani from Criticalrole. Anyway! Hope you enjoy this long reply to chew on!

How do you think George would fit into your “Lewis breaks his teammates” essay? Do you reckon he still has the same power or do you think it is more likely that it would be the opposite this time? I am asking because we have seen many times how the young guy wears out the older one (Vettel-Leclerc dynamic for comparison) but I cannot quite my finger on Lewis yet in this situation (not necessarily race performance but mentally)

Anon, you're kinda throwing me in a minefield!

It's extremely difficult to make predictions, so many things can happen. The short answer is : I don't know. The long answer is under the cut.

I'm biased as fuck, because I want Lewis to win his 8th, finish on a high, and be able to retire with at least some level of peace of mind but I tried to be fair.

I know you said 'not necessarily race performance but mentally', but these two things go hand in hand. They're both good, although at very different points of their career, and they're both hungry. That's basically what I said about them in the Lewis breaks his teammates essay. That and the fact that it had obvious potential for drama. Their results are weirdly on par, excluding the rare mishaps they've each had these two seasons. When you look at the graph of their respective results, the curves are so similar! And that's admittedly throwing me a bit because despite knowing George is a good driver, I honestly didn't expect him to be able to keep up with Lewis that well, especially from the get-go. I know some people claim it's proof Lewis is past his prime but I think that's bullshit and also a bit insulting for George, tbh.

Ultimately, I think if one of them has to come out on top, it's gonna be the one who manages to not get devoured by his own hunger.

George needs to learn what Lewis has learnt in his own time, what all young drivers need to learn when they get into cars that allow them to at least somewhat race : self-control. Don't rush, wait for the gap. Don't get too greedy, remember the big picture. Don't overdo it, know when to push and when to lift. Don't let it get to your head, think before you talk. Where he can struggle if it comes down to it, is making too many mistakes in a row and losing confidence, on or off track. Especially if they manage to fix the stupid car, and he finds himself sparring with Lewis on the regular for good positions, he's gonna need to be able to stay calm and stand his ground without getting into trouble because Lewis has been doing it for a while, and he's not gonna spare him. I know we like to paint him as very kind — and he might be, off track — but on track he's ruthless. He is a mostly clean racer nowadays, I truly believe so, but that's because he's received so many penalties over the years that he knows exactly where the limit of what's allowed, or can be argued as allowed, is and he will drive right on that edge without even having to think about it. George is gonna have to figure out the rules of this game on his own, like they all do. Lewis is not gonna teach George the ropes. He's not gonna give him the answers. He's not gonna foster him. He might help the team but he's not gonna help him. He's not a mentor. He's a racer. And while George is figuring himself out, Lewis is gonna race.

Lewis has a lot of shit to prove, again. People have been saying he's too old, people have been claiming he's about to retire, people have been saying nobody's ever won a race after their 300th start, people don't want Schumacher's record to be beaten and especially not by him, and let me not get into AD21. On top of that, the car is bad. However hard it is for George, it's still an upgrade for him. It's a definite downgrade for Lewis. He needs to be patient but he's running out of time. He needs to adjust his expectations but he's barely ever known anything but the top. He needs to be a leader for the whole team but George is becoming a threat. He needs to stay calm, composed, and confident but he's always been a paranoid control-freak with a justified chip on his shoulder. As much as George might trip over himself, I believe Lewis' weakness is Mercedes. Just like George's struggle is currently showing here and there in his racecraft, Lewis' struggle is currently showing here and there in his relationship to the team. He's struggled with having to rely on other people doing their thing for him to do his thing forever. As long as it worked it worked, but now it's not working. First of all he has to grapple with the reality that his teammate is not a throwaway anymore. But I believe (tentatively) that as long as it's a fair fight, he won't get destabilised on track. However, if he feels like they keep fucking up the strategy or that they're favouring or being too lenient with George... As soon as he gets it into his head that they don't have his back, it's over for him. It might become a real test of his maturing and growth.

As for how it's gonna end, time will tell.

As a Ferrari fan, does all the clown jokes ever annoy you? Like yesterday I was so irritated with all the "one team won't be able to count to 18, you know which one" and "oh no, Ferrari have to do 6 pitstops" etc, etc. Like if people have actually been paying attention, their pitstops this year have been some of the best, and they haven't really made any big strategy blunders this year iirc. I hope the team doesn't see any of this, because it can be so demoralizing to have improved in these areas and actually outperform your rivals in pitstops, but then be the one that's having memes made about you. I get it will take a while for opinions to change after so many years of mess ups and I know the same rules dont apply to Ferrari as it's the biggest/most successful team etc, but there are other teams who have bigger mess ups more often - alpine, AM, McLaren, all the back marker teams. Like I would be more worried about a Mercedes pitstop than a Ferrari pitstop this year, yet they don't get all the jokes. Even their strategies and indecisiveness is questionable at times, and has been so for years. It's just when they had a dominant car, they could take long to make decisions and could take longer for pitstops. Anyway, its also why it annoys me when people say carlos is the one making the strategy just because they see selective team radios being played. There's a whole team that's worked very hard to improve and yes, at times it's like "hmm, what you doing", but for the most part they haven't had any noticeable screw ups like last year and to attribute all that hard work to a driver who talks too much on team radio and had his ass saved by the strategy team more often than he's made good decisions must be annoying for the team.

it annoys me a lot. because sometimes it is 100% justified but people make mistakes out of things that weren't actually mistakes.

Mercedes aren't better at strategy the only reason it's not a talking point is because nobody noticed while they were dominating because their car was so good it didn't matter. And even know it hasn't caught on yet but they've made more and worse strategy mistakes than Ferrari this year.

The Carlos thing pisses me off because a) like you said is discredits the entire rest of the team and b) it's not based on facts. Every single time people credit Carlos with a strategic decision it wasn't actually his decision and most often he didn't even have anything to do with it.

and particularly using Qatar and saying "oh Carlos did the strategy that's why it worked" would be an insult if you think Carlos is good at strategy because this was the simplest strategy ever. max out all the tyres you have. hardly an achievement.

Sigh. As much as I love and respect Laurent and personally believe he’d be a much more palatable TP than Binotto this unfortunately points towards a bigger issue within the team, this idea of constantly reiterating that nothing’s wrong, there’s no reason to change anything, most of their poor results are down to outside factors, no one really understands their plight, etc.

Granted, they’re hardly going to openly admit morale is poor or whatever, but not taking responsibility and doggedly defending bad decisions, when everyone else can clearly see many, many costly mistakes were made, is not a good look either. It’s difficult to feel sympathetic when the team’s policy so far has largely been denial (there’s no reason to change anything within the team), deception (claiming the race in Hungary was unwinnable regardless of strategy simply because the car had “no pace,” which was absolutely not true for Charles), and delusion (there’s no reason we can’t win the remaining 10 races), or some mix of the three. It’s frankly insulting. To Charles, to all the people back at the factory who worked so hard to make a championship contending car, and to all the fans tuning into this clown show. In all my years of following F1/Ferrari, I don’t recall a time when they so blatantly made so many bad calls with such frightening consistency. It’s not just a genuine mistake here and there. It’s week in, week out; the rule, more so than the exception at this point. You can comfortably go into a weekend and predict that the pitwall will do something to compromise Charles’s race and be correct more often than not, and that’s concerning.

And now, a little over halfway through the season, they’re closer to Mercedes in the standings (30 points difference) than Red Bull (97 points), who started off as their main rival for the championship(s). My prediction? They’re going to be pipped for second by Mercedes and ultimately finish the season in P3 in the Constructors’ standings. Mercedes. The Mercedes whose resurgence was supposedly a good thing for Ferrari, because it would “take points away from Red Bull.” Yep. P3. From P1. P3, where they finished last year, a result that was considered a massive success for their then-midfield car, coming off the back of a disastrous season. And the worst part is, should it happen, it will be absolutely deserved. P3 is just a more accurate reflection of their goals and ambitions than P1. After all, Binotto shamelessly moved the goal posts while the championship fight was already well underway and downplayed their ambitions from winning a title to just winning some races here and there.

In its current form, with its current attitude, this is not a team that has a genuine hunger and determination and desire to win championships. When Red Bull or Mercedes lose out, they are sick. They’re disappointed, they (generally) hold themselves accountable, and they analyse their weaknesses in order to come back stronger at the next opportunity. To them, anything less than a win is not good enough, especially when they know they have the car and drivers to achieve such results. They’re always pushing for more, bigger, better. There’s ambition there to win - and not just a race, but races, and, crucially, titles. Ferrari, meanwhile, seem to be content with mediocrity, treating the ultra-competitive sport that is Formula 1 like it’s a school sports day, where everyone’s a winner simply for showing up and participating.

In the past their title bids have also been flawed and ultimately fruitless (2017, 2018) but, I don’t know, at least I could feel they tried, they wanted it, which is more than I can say for the current pitwall/management. It’s this feeling that they just don’t care, that they’ve thrown in the towel much too prematurely and are now pretending this was the plan all along...that’s the inexcusable part. To have everything in your grasp, have the driver, have the car at your disposal...and then so carelessly dismantle everything for no discernible reason. If there is one given behind the scenes for this fiasco, then we’re not privy to it.

If the management, the people who hold actual executive power, who are responsible for making important decisions, really and truly see no issue with how the team is being mishandled at the moment, the way it’s failing to reach its full potential, then this malady is more serious than we initially thought. If there’s only talk of “learning lessons” and no actual, tangible action follows - worse, if the same mistakes keep being repeated over and over and keep being defended in the face of fair, constructive criticism, then the team has a massive problem, and I can’t, right now, see any clear solution. They are insane for this (derogatory). After all:

#text #discussions and predictions #scuderia ferrari #meta #long post #idek i just saw that article and - combined with that 'highs and lows of charles leclerc's season' video that dropped on f1 yt #it just pissed me off so much #i know the title's done and dusted. i guess charles knows it too #but the WAY in which they lost it is honestly unforgivable to me and much worse than i ever could've imagined them losing #it's not a case of ferrari just not building a good enough car and having that hold them back as was the case in the years prior #it was literally theirs to lose and they CHOSE they actively decided to lose it and that i can't grasp or forgive or come to terms with #they can be better than this. they SHOULD be better than this but they are actively choosing to be a disgrace instead #and then defend themselves and claim they're in the right and anyone who says otherwise is just a mindless hater

Super excited you’re doing this! Thank you in advance 💘 could I have some general relationship head cannons for Chuuya please? I’m obsessed with him. This is so long I’m so sorry 💀

Name: Zoe; sweetheart for a nickname

Eye color: blue, and I wear glasses because I have terrible eyesight lol

Hair color: blonde

Height: 5’1

Hobbies: playing video games, reading, drawing, going out to clubs when I can afford it, and I LOVE to crochet

Likes: soda, sleeping, making custom crochet pieces for people I care about, perfumes, listing to music and singing at the top of my lungs lol, drinking, night drives,ghost shows (like ghost adventures, twin paranormal, Sam and Colby, etc.)

Dislikes: stupid drivers (road rage ceo over here), working my serving job bc people are so MEAN and I don’t get paid what I should, people who don’t respect boundaries, not being listened to/interrupted /not taken seriously, intentionally making me feel stupid

Personality: I tend to have a very blank resting face, and when I first meet someone I tend to come off as serious. Once I get even the slightest bit comfortable I’m very talkative and I will talk about damn near anything, and I LOVE having deep conversations. I tend to place others happiness before my own, and I’m very in tune with facial expressions and body language. In relationships my love language for sure is acts of service.

I love witchy/paranormal stuff and all of the darker themed things that go with that, but I also LOVE pink girly pop softgirl™️ I like both, so I try to embody both (that’s called range baby 😎)

I try to be happy and keep everyone around me happy, but I’m mentally ill as fuck lol. Ptsd, severe social anxiety, depression, and adhd gang lol. I’ve been through a lot and because of that I try to treat the people I love gently and softly, because even though many people in my past did terrible things to me I refuse to let that rule my actions. I want intimacy and love, and by giving that I’ll hopefully get it in return. I’m extremely loyal but I have a lot of trauma in around people stabbing me in the back and insulting my intelligence :/

Alcohol deletes my social anxiety and helps to distract from the bad thoughts, which is why I like going to parties/clubs. The alcohol works, and it’s so fun to dance and let loose for a while.

I’m such a hopeless romantic. Give me flowers, slow dance with me whenever and wherever, press your forehead against mine and we can breathe each other in and savor the moment, kiss me gently and hold my hand and tell me that I’m everything you’ve ever wanted. Nothing else matters when I have my entire world in my arms. Sigh that would be so nice 😭

Thank you again sorry it’s so long💘

I can definitely relate to you with some of the things you've said, which definitely helps. I mean, I'm too young to drink alcohol (I'm 19), but still.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

•He's so happy that you're shorter than him.

•He constantly tells you you're short because he's always wanted to say that instead of being the one who's being called short.

•You like going out to clubs you say? This man will pay for everything

•he tries to convince you to get off alcohol hypocrite

•He thinks it's so cool you crochet

•He tries to learn, but fails miserably 😭

•He definitely plays video games with you

•He definitely gets some cool consoles you can play on

•Game nights and movie nights are very common for you two

•He loves all the crochet stuff you make him

•He makes sure they never get ruined

•He definitely doesn't like how you put his happiness before your own

•he loves spoiling you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry this is short (almost as short as Chuuya)

More Threats and Insults

"Son, you're dumb as dirt and you ain't half as good looking."

"What, is this supposed to be some sorta joke?"

"Yeah."

"Hilarious. You're about to be the funniest corpse at the cemetery."

"Jesus. I was about to say you're as useful as a slime mold, but you've made me reconsider. At least a slime mold can solve a goddamn maze, and I don't think you could find your way out of an empty room if they opened the door and knocked down the other three walls."

"Milford! Fetch me my ass-kicking boots! It seems I have some riff raff to deal with! Now, why don't you three take a seat and consider the poor decisions that got you into this situation?"

"When they throw you in prison they won't even have to lock the cell. They can just put a handle on a door that opens by pushing and you'll be there 'til the day you die."

"Put that thing away, kid: you'll do more damage to your own eardrums than you will to me."

"Attention: Driver of the blue Kia Sedona! If you go any slower there'll be tectonic plates overtaking you! Get the FUCK OUT OF THE PASSING LANE!"

"I'm sure you've all heard the stories about me: the conqueror of Keratopolis and Telfon, the destroyer of Marazzo. The man who slew King Aribaldo and drove his legions into the sea?"

"Yeah. We've heard. That's why we're here. But your army isn't here to save you now, are they? Just give it up and come quietly."

"My army? Oh, you silly, naive children. Think back to those stories more carefully... did they ever mention me having an army?"

"You're talking shit about my face? Bro, you look like a taxidermy accident. Look in a fucking mirror, why don't you?"

"You're like a bank robber trying to use a gumball machine. Too many dollars, not enough sense."

"Hey, Cap'n Crunch: you sure you're qualified to pilot that fucking ocean liner?

"If you fuck anything like you fight, you must've disappointed a lot of women in your time. I've already taken one weapon from you, now stay the fuck down or on all of their behalf I'll remove the other."

"Hey, man, when's the demolition derby you're training for? I wanna buy a ticket."

"What the fuck are you talking about, there's no demolition derby!"

"Shit, could'a fooled me the way you drive."

"Fuck you, asshole."

"From what I hear you couldn't shoot yourself in the foot if you used a revolver as a shoehorn."

"Well, I guess I gotta give you credit for having the balls to say that to my face. Now you're gonna see why you shouldn't."

"I'm gonna rip your arm off and beat you to death with it, and the last words you ever hear are gonna be 'Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?' If you think that sounds like an embarrassing way to die then better get outta here fast."

"Why don't you make like a tree and shut the fuck up? You know, because trees don't talk."

"You best hope your feet can cash those checks your mouth's writing, 'cuz I'll tell you right now your fists are insolvent."

"Why don't you make like a tree and get slowly eaten alive by beetles over the next 3-5 years until the city declares your rotting corpse an eyesore and has you cut up, run through a woodchipper, and hauled away?"

"Oh my God, I don't have time for this. Look, here's some crayons and a juice box, go keep yourself entertained and let me do my job, you arrogant little prick."

"Why don't you make like a tree and stand still while I make like a lumberjack?"

"Jesus Christ, 'non violent conflict resolution,' who the fuck do you think I am, Mr. Rogers? I can practice nonviolent conflict resolution from my fucking office: if you make me come all the way out here to deal with your shit I'm not having a beautiful day in your fucking neighborhood."

"You're about to find out why they used to call me 'Undefeatable-With-Conventional-Weapons Melvin' in high school."

"Just take the bus in February dude, you handle unexpected ice like the fucking Titanic."

"I'm gonna kick your ass so hard you choke on your own tailbone."

Will Formula 1 ever do something that matters to stop this?

Now is the time when something bigger than F1 or any other sport needs to be talked about thoroughly. Not that it's a one-day topic obviously, but you guys get the gist.

First thing I want to say before I dig into this is that I love these guys as much as the next person, I fantasize about them as much as any of you, I wish I could meet them or even work with them, see more races live and enjoy my favorites from up close more often I guess just as much as any of you, but I've noticed a few things today that I didn't like at all. And when it comes to this topic, I can't just turn the blind eye to the small things.

Apparently this isn't today's news but yesterday was the first time I saw people posting about it like crazy. Like Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and TikTok were flooded with this. So the thing is Nelson Piquet Sr. called Lewis the n-word in an interview who knows how long ago, was it actually in November? Nelson Piquet, an all-time bigot, always making comments insulting basically the same person all the time because of what now? Uh yes, the color of his skin. How bizarre? He's not the only one though, we also have Sir Jackie Stewart and so many others, but this time this took the cake.

Like at this rate, if it were something entirely different, we could be used to it, but the thing is: how the fuck can you get used to a single person being bullied constantly by the sport he loves so dearly and also by the people around it? It's absolutely outrageous. And like he says, he's being suffering this his whole life. 37 years of it. How can people be so fucking stupid?

It's something I've never understood, how can some people be so deeply ignorant. Closest example to what's going on around Nelson Piquet's comments are the RB bigots, for instance. You don't even have to make an effort and look further. You just need to look at the comments and accusations thrown around in the 2021 season alone. Like what the actual fuck? Murder, drug abuse, and those two are just the tip of the iceberg. And obviously all of it went unpunished, like we needed more proof that the FIA is enabling this behavior and they agree with it. It's so fucking sad.

I mean, look at what happened with Jüri Vips. They were SO quick to release a statement, a generic statement, condemning what he said and all racial discrimination and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, like we would believe any word coming from them. And now they don't say a single word about what that old shithead said, the exact same thing Jüri said on livestream. What's the problem here? Afraid much or it was easier washing your image kicking your reserva driver out than condemn Nelson Piquet Sr. because he's a World Champion, regardless of his idiocy? Because yeah maybe RB are not responsible for what that mummy said, but they sure as hell are responsible for paving the way in Formula 1. So it's truly no surprise, which is terribly sad.

What saddens me even more so than what I just said is that I've heard about Leclerc (whom I love dearly and you know it) saying he didn't support the Black Lives Matter movement and he didn't kneel because it was a violent movement, which is deeply disappointing since it shows how little he needs to care really as a privileged white boy, same as Daniel (whom I love as well) last year in Jeddah saying that he didn't watch news because of the vibes (I'm paraphrasing). These are just 2 examples of 2 people I like and respect a tone, which hits like a fucking brick, honestly. And there's a lot more of this going around coming from other drivers too, so yeah.

So far yesterday I saw Charles, George, Daniel and Esteban comment, apart from Mercedes, Ferrari and F1. They have one thing in common: they don't talk about Nelson Piquet directly, they don't name him blatantly, they are just vague. How does that do or achieve anything? I even saw that Zhou made a short statement also going along the same type of speech, which shocked me a little more, because I've heard the comments (racist or derogatory, that is) coming for example from the Spanish commentators at DAZN. They haven't even mentioned him in any post, story or comment they've made so that at least Lewis himself could see it, and taking into account he follows absolutely no one on social media, that's just idiotic. If you wanna look good, at least do it right, maybe?

I might even be reading too much into this particular point, but this is already too far gone to be acceptable at this point. The only person I've seen so far not saying anything ridiculous and tagging him directly is Mick, which is nice. I mean, yes he said nothing of substance, which is not okay either, but at least he didn't even try to say the "big thing" to look good and supportive out in the open and kept it straight to the point and without further bullshit. He should've said something straightforward, like the rest of the lot, of course. I do see more credibility in Fernando and Carlos not saying a word for instance. They should've said something too, I'm in no way excusing them or agreeing with them, but at least they haven't been hypocritical by saying something they clearly don't care about at all. Because they don't. Ultimately, they were true to who they are and their own opinions at least. They played it safer than any of the rest, honestly. No one can throw at them that they once said this or that and now they're contradicting themselves or saying empty words for the sake of appearances. Now they might do so today, but for now I've checked and nothing. Anywho, this is way too bad all around however we look at it.

Look, I'll never know the struggle. Ever. I'm a European white girl, I've even had the privileged of having a family that could give us vacation time every year, could buy us more things than the strictly necessary, so I am aware of how lucky I've been. I had it easy, despite all the shit I've gone through regardless, because I never was in a position of being treated as less because of my skin color. I've never experienced any abuse like this. And it's terrible that anyone should experience something like that, whether it's in the US, in the UK, in South America, anywhere in Asia or in Southern Europe when we see people who've fled their countries looking for an opportunity to live. TO LIVE.

And that indifference, that lack of empathy and interest on this subject, it's so ingrained in most of our societies that maybe most of the time we don't even notice that this is a problem that concerns everyone, regardless of the skin tone or nationality. It's sickening, honestly, and it should've been enough a long time ago. Disrespect should never land on anyone because of some ignorant decides to open their mouths to try and stay relevant. We need to do better. Each and everyone of us. To understand, to support, to learn, to help, call it what you will. We need to be better as a whole.

Lastly, I believe the FIA and Formula 1 should take action. Real action. Start working on measures to prevent people like Nelson Piquet ever setting foot anywhere near Formula 1 in any capacity, they should donate all of those cash penalties they've inflicted on drivers so far to causes or entities such as The Hamilton Commision or Mission 44, created by Lewis himself, or any other entity that handles initiatives to help increase representation or work to give more opportunities to people in communities that need it most.

In a post I just found on Tumblr, there was this article linked if you guys wanna read it. He words it much better than I ever could. I honestly have no more words at time to further talk about this topic, at least not in a calm manner anyway, it's too much. If it makes me this angry, I can't even imagine how people affected this kind of thing daily must be feeling, it's sickening.
