please tell me your parasocial theory about the lando effect on his teammates i'll shrivel up like a raisin without it actually

god. I'm gonna try and keep this coherent and not TOO weird. obv this is completely without knowing any of these people personally and it's just me theorizing for fun without any actual private knowledge etc etc !

(I've had to edit the hell out of this bc I don't want to like outright offend anyone since this isn't meant to be super serious at all but I'm mortified at how long it is anyway lol)

so we all know that Lando has always had the whole main character fairytale prince/princess quality that started from taking so incredibly long to finally grow up right up to his version of grown up vacillating between devastating fuckboy to coquette fetish sweetheart. and we all know that Lando is fully aware of how he looks and how he's perceived bc of visible social media presence and interactions and also just being around mirrors. he's stunning and charismatic because he makes no effort to be and there is an aura of destiny and magic around him with whatever he does. but he's always seemed like someone who needs to know what exactly he means to his close friends, mainly guys. in a way that's almost like 'yeah you have a girlfriend but does she accept that I'm ✧Me✧ and not just a Normal Blokey Friend?' or 'will your friends accept that I'm ✧Me✧ or will I have to put up a front?'

the reason Lando's so magnetic to people is because he's a ✧Me✧ but also because he's a ✧Me✧ while being a guy which guys aren't usually secure enough to be ✧Me✧. a lot of guys dress up or play up acting like one but Lando's authentically a ✧Me✧ and not to be classed with guys who are Normal Bloke or Normal Friend. they are very very rare.

to expand on this further and because I have insomnia let's take a walk through our perceptions and occasional facts of fandom observation over the years...

I feel like somewhere in the process of his first few years of F1 Lando went from awkward paddock baby who was probably a fall risk to realizing how incredibly adorable he still was even as a pro racing driver. he was literally everybody's baby (and honestly still kinda is). he was thrown into F1 so young it's not surprising.

I am a diehard carlando fan here so please understand that I'm switching to speaking in real life and not fandom terms (and I prefer fandom terms lol) real life Carlos is 100% hetero to me. my family and friend group are sort of UN levels of diverse and what seems like fruityness in non-American or sometimes non-British men is completely standard for straight dudes outside those countries. straight euro guys in particular flirt and get physical with their bros one way and then have an entirely different type of flirting and physicality with women they're attracted to. I don't think this is the case with Carlos at all but a LOT of these euro dudes can even compartmentalize so well that they're actually homophobic while fully kissing and cuddling with their friends. like I say Carlos doesn't seem at all homophobic but there have definitely been tiny, subtle moments with other drivers or during social media challenges where he's been like 'okay that's far enough for me'. which imo is him drawing boundaries and is totally fair.

AND YET WITH LANDO? Carlos has had a verrrrry hard time classifying Lando up until recently I think. for a while after signing to McLaren it was clear he viewed himself as protector and big brother/uncle to a very skittish and weird child/toddler/pet. then when Lando started to build his F1 personality around Carlos and was able to do some give and take with him, Carlos started to see Lando as a fun little satellite buddy and we got some of their silliest most adorable moments (the squawk laughing and the horseplay etc). but Carlos very much still viewed himself as the superior and Lando was just happy to have someone patient and considerate of him rather than a serious competitor.

to me Carlos and everyone else in F1 shifted how he saw Lando around the time of Daniel showing up on the scene (and Carlos' shock at how upset Lando was when he went to Ferrari). Lando got a LOT more confidence on and off the track from here on and he absolutely saw Daniel as a competitor and gave as good as he got off track too (in a fun way). he was never a satellite of Daniel's like he was with Carlos. he also physically started to grow and appreciate his own beauty and sexuality (not as in his identity but his effect on others sexually). he started dressing more consciously and mixing flirting with cuteness to win people over and play the media. youtuber/streamer Lando began to merge with F1 paddock darling Lando into something new between having Carlos and Daniel as teammates.

I can just tell you right now that a dude like Carlos would have ABsolutely no idea how to classify what Lando was becoming at that point in terms of their friendship. Lando was too pretty and still too small to be considered a Dude and apart from on the race track Lando doesn't have the natural douche-ness of Dudes. but Lando also had an active sex life and women were already crazy for him so he wasn't a child anymore either. since F1 drivers literally for bodily safety reasons can only identify as straight Carlos couldn't even class Lando as a rainbow guy.

personally I think that's when Carlos elevated Lando to Hot Bitch/Great Dude status. Lando can still take roughhousing and stupid jokes but he's also got this intense genderfluid glow that poor straight man brain have a tough time with. so Lando's this still confusing hybrid but one that Carlos accepts and loves.

in such a short time Lando went from notice me senpai over Carlos as a teenager on twitter to showing off how they exclusively hang out outside race weekends and he can breeze into the Ferrari garage like he owns the place. one teammate down :)

obv this whole time Lando has had Max F in his life and I think they've known for a long time that they're the sort of best friends who are also common law married. their gfs have always seemed really good natured about it. (**this will be relevant when Oscar comes up later) before Carlos, Max was very clearly the stronger public personality Lando had latched onto as a kid and stayed that way until about 2020/2021. since then I feel like Max is watching Lando in a kind of proud wiping away a tear and claiming that it's raining way. he was down before he probably knew it :)

honestly I'm not a big fan of Daniel Ricciardo for specific reasons and I've chosen to just edit out what I'd written about him and Lando since I truly don't want to piss anyone off over this pointless post lol. it's enough to say that for all Daniel's cockiness making gay jokes etc I get a lot of joy from the fact that Lando has ended up combining Lewis Hamilton-gender norms are for losers attitude with his own genuine rising stature as a future WDC and basically blew Daniel out of the water in every way. they're absolutely still good buddies but damn, Hot Bitch Lando had Daniel stuttering and staring with how little effort it took for Lando to outshine him, on and off the track. Daniel is usually the one in charge of his F1 relationships but Lando got him fucked. up. and begging.

another teammate down :)

do I even need to go into detail about Oscar . we know so incredibly little about Oscar's real personality yet we fully know that he's been replying to Lando's tweets and watching Lando's content since boarding school in the UK. you can take a tour of just the McLaren youtube content from the 2023 unboxing onward and watch Oscar go from dazed and stumbling over himself to not look a tool in front of Lando to Prema-era humor Oscar being able to banter with Lando.

here's what's different with the Lando/Oscar friendship tho. Oscar came in weirdly grown up for his age bc he'd left home so young and went from boarding school to being set up in his own flat by Mahk Wibbah. he already had a long term girlfriend and after waiting a year for his driver's seat he'd made the extremely ballsy move to publicly decide his own fate in F1. Lando was probably expecting to have a typical rookie on his hands but instead he got someone who's already more emotionally mature and responsible than Lando's other two teammates combined. then Oscar is so incredibly talented that he's pushed Lando to such a massive new level that P3 and P2 and (currently) 4th in the WDC are already losing a bit of their shine. Lando wants the whole thing and in a way he never has up til now. Oscar is a not insignificant part of that.

Lando suddenly has an equal! their age difference is negligible and their competitive level is the same. the fact that Oscar's racing mentality is so vastly different to Lando's is perfect because there'll never be a Lewis/Nico situation. Lando needs to stay within his own head to a certain degree for race weekends and Oscar looks forward to his next opportunity as soon as he's done with one. Oscar even has a much more laid back Max F style sense of humor which means Lando doesn't have to play up and perform as much as he used to for social media shit.

then there was the awful start to the season followed by Lando definitely being shook up by how hot Oscar came in as a rookie. AND YET Oscar has always gone out of his way to celebrate Lando's successes literally no matter how his own performance went. he's never once opted to peace out until needed for media or pictures (or straight up left) after a DNF or finishing poorly. there's this moment from the Dutch GP that breaks my idiot fandom brain bc Lando had just qualified second and Oscar (Q8) is shaking his hand and congratulating him and. idk it feels like one of those 'oh!' moments where Lando realizes Oscar is rooting for him even when they're competing and it's not a one-off nice gesture or bare minimum effort

(which honestly that bare minimum is totally fair in racing and I don't judge drivers who need to lick their wounds, it can take a lot to come out of that adrenaline mindset and be happy for your teammate who is also your competitor).

and that's the thing, Oscar came in already won over by Lando. he simply expects them both to do their jobs well and whatever Lando has to offer outside that is cool with him because Lando is ✧Lando✧. if Lando wants to bring him more into his non-F1 life at some point that would probably be great but Oscar's also got his own stable non-F1 life so it's fine either way! if Lando has other commitments and Oscar needs to step up more with the team then that's fine! I know I've been superlative with this post but like, Lando never needed/needs to do anything at all for Oscar to like him and accept him and root for him. Oscar clearly doesn't feel the need to prove anything to Lando or force the relationship. everyone else is dazzled by Lando or watched him/helped him grow up but Oscar just really Finds Lando Neat and Wants to Be Around Him. he seems to like being bossed around by Lando but he also likes when Lando is being really cool and when Lando is quiet and moody he just waits until Lando wants to be around people again. he's like a cat that proves their devotion to you by remaining in proximity rather than meowing or shoving their face in yours.

so like, part of me feels like Lando saw his new teammate having this whole life(**girlfriend?? but does she accept me as ✧Me✧?) already before even meeting Lando and had no idea how they'd develop a relationship. both Carlos and Daniel had (and still have) very bachelor style lives where a relationship with the current teammate is top priority and everyone else in their life has to deal. work comes first, then work friends, then everything else until the babies are made.

but then Oscar just shows up all content with his grown up life and smiles at Lando all the time and doesn't take anything for granted and respects Lando's space within F1 and McLaren and never complains even about doing things he doesn't like and Lando's like oh! I've already got this one down for the count and I didn't even do anything! nice :)

anyway thank you for asking and I hope this was remotely worth reading aakfgsjgfjgafagla

d͏a͏t͏i͏n͏g͏ i͏t͏z͏y͏ ✰

first post for itzy!! based on their birth charts, mlist. g: fluff wc: 1,62k cw: food mention.

✰ YEJI

cool girl yeji <3

as a Gemini Stellium, she'd be so communicative and fun to be around!!

she'd love talking about anything or nothing with her s/o

with a Pisces Moon, she might be a lot more emotional and compassionate than she'd let on

but with her Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Gemini (you read that right), she'd be relatively open and fun to talk to

she might take her time to commit to someone, or only commit when she falls really hard

not all Gemini placements are "flighty" or whatever, but they often prioritize their freedom and think about what else may come their way (many of them like to stay flexible bc of a constant need for change and long-term relationships may scare them bc of that)

but this is of course different for everyone and just a theory i've thrown in here

she might vary between loving to talk to her person or being kinda shy around them at first

she could also be pretty silent and try to get her s/o to talk a lot, so she can learn from them

but she'd be the type to text you throughout the day to keep up with you </3

or have late-night phone calls with :( </3

but her Water Moon makes her really intuitive, she might instantly know when her person isn't feeling their best!

also Gemini placements can be really good observers, so it may be hard to keep secrets from her :S

judging from the way she treats her members, she'd probably be someone who looks out for her s/o, but i think generally, she'd be more the are-they-besties-or-are-they-lovers-type lol

though her Moon can indicate that she is romantic and has high ideals in love!

either way she'd be a sweetheart and the best gf so you better treat her right or i'm gonna climb through the screen and steal her away!! >:(

✰ LIA

my fellow cancer sun queen <3

with a Water Sun and Moon, she is probably really sensitive and compassionate!

Pisces Moons are, again, really intuitive, so no pout could be long hidden around her!!

in my experience Cancer placements aren't necessarily afraid to show how they feel unless it's towards our crushes, then we become a nervous mess lol

she'd be such a protective gf, with the Cancer/Leo combo in her chart </3

her Cancer Mercury would make her a great confidant and someone to seek advice from

and her Leo Venus would make her so romantic and passionate

she'd take great care of her s/o and would probably love to spend time with them a lot!!

also physical touch could be one of her love languages!! (Leo placements are so touchy <3🤬)

would go above and beyond for her person and you can talk to the wall if you disagree : |

she'd definitely be very loyal and may even have a hard time getting over past relationships

would love to be the center of attention of her s/o :))

also adding to her being protective,, she'd probably smother you so bad :')

totally the type to get you the biggest fluffiest most giant blanket when you'd say you're cold, only to plop on top of you and then under the covers >:)

she'd need someone patient since she feels deeply but might be a bit shy or reserved in the beginning of a relationship

with Mars in Cancer, she might be prone to go all out in conflicts (sorry Cancer Mars ppl y'all can be scary sometimes 😰)

maybe she's someone who'd use the silent treatment sometimes hehe

but with love and some cooling off, i'm sure she's gonna be sweet lia again lol <3

anyways she'd be soft and sweet gf material <3 i love her, idk bout y'all hehe

✰ RYUJIN

the fun adventurous gf!!!

would be pretty straightforward from the get-go since she has her Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aries

and with her Aquarius Moon and Sagittarius Mars, she'd be up for anything as long as it looks like fun hehe!!

she'd probably love talking to her s/o and would have little problems befriending them right away!

if she falls really hard right away, she might even get jealous before she even is with the person (oh uh)

Aries placements tend to go after what they want, so you better just stay out of the way (okay) :S

anyhow, she'd be a passionate, but very fun gf, who'd literally turn the world upside down for her partner

she'd love someone who'd keep her on her toes but also is sort of her best friend in a way!

since she has an Air Moon, communication is really important to her!!

if she feels like she can't talk to her s/o properly and freely, then that's a big red flag ://

but you can't tell me that she wouldn't be the most fun and caring person to have around like fr i am serious !!

like when itzy wrote each other letters and stuff and she just cried bc that was to much for my smol heart to take <//3

so she is sensitive you guys don't hurt her or i'll get you 🔪

she wouldn't like conflicts and would probably need some distance and distraction if a fight gets out of control (i can second this)

but again, she has an Air Moon, so she'd want to talk it out

i feel like she'd be the fun gf but she can also be a great confidant, or just someone you could talk to about your worries </3

and she truly cares, so it's really a win-win <3

anyway i can't even put to words how gf material she is, but she IS so just trust me >:)

ryujin for president !!

✰ CHAERYEONG

chaeryeong! my! love!

her love language is (bullying) teasing change my mind <3

anyhow, she has her Sun and Mercury in Gemini, meaning she'd like talking to her s/o !!

or she'd be just asking a lot of questions in order to listen and learn about them </3

with her Moon and Mars in Sagittarius, she'd love to have a lighthearted and fun time!!

but her Aries Venus also makes her love hard and passionately

she'd definitely go after who she wants, and probably has a way to talk herself into her crush's heart, even if she says she's shy!!

with her it would be all about humor and honesty tbh!!

her charts gives me similar vibes to ryujin, but chaerng would be more lighthearted

though her Aries Venus would be passionate and all

i think the Gemini/Sagittarius combination would make her more comfortable with less sappy-romance and more bestie vibes but with that extra ya know hehe

though her Sagittarius placements can also make her really enthusiastic, and since she has her Venus and Mars both in Fire Signs, i think she'd be more passionate than i've given her credit for

her Moon and Mars conjunction may also mean that she wears her heart on her sleeve at times and needs some physical output to manage her feelings

so someone patient would be nice for her me thinks

she'd definitely like someone who can teach her new things and keep her interested!!

her love languages might include quality time and words of affirmation!!

someone who can be spontaneous but also give her the support she needs

i feel like she could be someone who just texts you the most random stuff and also plans the most random dates

like she'd be texting you like "bring your raincoat :D" even though it's the middle of july and it's 30°C outside

but hey if it's fun why would you complain amirite

idk bout y'all but i'd love to have a chaeryeong <3

✰ YUNA

ngl her chart is a bit of a wild mix but it's okay queen <3

she has a Sagittarius Sun and Gemini Moon

which means she is similar to Chaeryeong in the sense that she values communication and fun vibes

BUT her Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn

which would mean that she'd be pretty committed and domestic actually

and her Pisces Mars would indicate that she'd be pretty romantic <3

she may have high ideals in love and might only really 100% give in to a relationship if she's sure it's gonna fit into her life and plans really well

so she likes having a fun connection on the surface, but she'd need some more commitment and security in order for her to stay interested

and as i said, her Pisces Mars is pretty romantic, so she'd like to have some ~romance~ in her life ig hehe

she may have high ideals in love but she'd probably know how to balance this with her more logical Capricorn placements

even tho Cap Venuses are the cutest beans but you didn't hear that from me (your secret is safe y'all)

she's probably one for more domestic and romantic dates, like movie nights or cooking together <3

she'd like someone who shows that they care in small ways and shows her that they're reliable

her love languages may include acts of service and words of affirmation

bc Gemini Moons just love talking hehe

since her Mercury and Venus are conjunct, i think she'd find common interests or at least having a fun time with each other's interests important

she'd love learning about new things and would take pride in her taste in some way!

maybe she'd even be the type to take her s/o on museum dates?? :0 how classy

so yeah i don't have much more to say for now <3

cool girl yuna would be a great gf thank u for ur attention <33

10 Sebastian roles as boyfriends

Because... I'm bored and I feel like it. 😂 Probably some spoilers for, like... everything? So yeah... That.

Putting it under here for easy scrolling:

10: Chase Collins

Who doesn't love a goofball? In the first half of the movie, Chase is basically perfect. He's sweet, funny, not all caught up in his ego, and actually pays attention to what the girls around him are saying, not just to what he wants to hear. If not for the whole... it was all an act to get close to Caleb and try to steal his magic thing, Chase would actually be a damn good high school boyfriend. He's adorable and would be a fun date, but he's also only 18 so best not to start making long-term plans lol. Also, y'know... the whole psycho revenge/power grab thing.

9 Jack Benjamin

Y'all. Y'all. Words cannot describe how much I love Jack. Pretty sure I've made this clear. As a person/character in general, he's absolutely in my Top 3 - not just of Sebastian's characters, but any character ever. ❤ But as a boyfriend? Boy's got baggage. It's what makes me so protective of him, but seeing as how he's trapped in the closet thanks to his overbearing homophobic family and the insane expectations heaped on him, as the show left him, he can't handle an honest relationship. He's too easily influenced by all the wrong people, poor babe.

8 Chris (Destroyer)

On paper, undercover cop sounds cool and exciting, but even if you ignore the fact that he, y'know, dies... Chris got in too deep and kinda lost the mission, so to speak. Best case scenario, you're his sexy partner and in on it all with him and end up on the lam for the rest of your lives. Worst case, this man lies for a living, so can you even trust him? And... yeah. The whole dead thing. Chris is hot af but getting involved with him is a recipe for disaster.

7 Ben

Min and Hathor have mercy, I love Ben! He's smart, he's snarky, he's caring and loyal... he's an absolute disaster. He's another one who seems allergic to honesty, until his lying and avoiding nearly kill his girlfriend. Not exactly relationship goals lol. Everything before totally was, though! Ben's adorable, and I love how he stayed up all night to protect his girlfriend (from a ghost/demon thing... with a baseball bat. I said he was smart, not perfect, okay? XD points for effort lol)

6 Mickey Henry

I. LOVE. MICKEY. Oml I love Mickey. He's a spazz and - even more so than Ben - an absolute disaster of a human being, but I love him. Pros for dating Mickey Henry: he's fun, he's carefree, he'll cook for you even though he's kinda bad at it lol, he loves his son and wants to be a good dad, he wants his partner to be happy and to love life as much as he does. Cons, and the reason he's not higher on the list: He's a pushover; easily influenced by the toxic people in his life, and it gets him into a lot of trouble. Being easily influenced by toxic dumpster fire of a human being Chloe almost lost him the partial custody of his son that he barely even had. He's an absolute sweetheart, but he's a complete man-child, and dating him would often feel more like raising him.

5 Frank "Suffer Buddy"

Come on! You know he and Mickey had to be back-to-back - they're practically the same character! 😂 Frank is Mickey... slightly more grown up. He's still a disaster, but he's respectful of boundaries, he's caring, he's funny in a dry, witty way that I just adore, and hoo lordy that man is a giver! 🥴🥵 Honestly, if he didn't smoke and didn't ditch Daphne in the middle of a party hours away from everything familiar to her surrounded by strangers to go do drugs, I'd call Frank perfect. He listened, he respected her wishes, he tried to keep some distance between them when he found out she'd gone on a date with his best friend (it failed utterly and brought us to the "damn that man's good with his mouth" portion of the movie lmao but still)... I don't have a whole lot of experience with men who actually give a shit, okay? So Frank is like a goddamn unicorn to me lmao. But that drug thing... That keeps him at the bottom of the Top 5 for me. Sorry, bb

4 Bucky

I can already hear everyone on here raging at me for placing Bucky so low on this list, but hear me out: I love this man. I love all four iterations of this man. Flirty 40s Bucky was a doll (fun date, not commitment material). Post-POW camp 40s Bucky had a fire to him that set me on fire. The Winter Soldier can choke me any damn day. Unf. And TFATWS Bucky... Oh, lady above, 2023 Bucky is a gem! He's sweet, snarky, and broken. He feels utterly, wretchedly alone in the world, and everyone around him, including his only friend, is telling him to "man up" and "make amends" for shit that was never his fault to begin with, rather than helping him come to terms with all that he's suffered and all that he's survived. Bucky needs and deserves love. A relationship with him would be so solid, if he found the right person... But it would take a fuck ton of work. He needs someone strong, patient, and more stubborn than he is to prod him until he finds a better therapist and actually opens up, and to keep him on track because even good therapy comes with homework. He does have to "do the work," Sam was right about that much, but he was way off base with what that "work" is. Bucky needs help and understanding, and he would be an amazing boyfriend... if he found someone with the strength to help him weather his nightmares and flashbacks, and help pull him out of this PTSD pit he's been in since 1943.

3 Chris Beck

Big brains turn me on, okay? 😂This man is an astronaut and a surgeon! Yes, please! Come here, you sexy genius! He's smart, he's funny - pretty sure Sebastian is incapable of playing anyone who's not delightfully snarky lol. He's pragmatic when he needs to be but there's also nothing he wouldn't do or risk for the ones he loves. This man is husband material and I cannot be convinced otherwise! So why isn't he #1? Cuz of the whole... spending years in space, thing. Super cool job and I'd be his biggest fan on the ground, but god damn, I would miss him while he's away!

2 TJ Hammond

Look, I'm gender fluid and he's a little bit bi 😂😂😂 Let me have my fantasy, okay? TJ's definitely got a lot of shit to work through, but love brings out the best in him. Before that fucking closeted shitbag broke his heart and stomped on it for good measure, TJ was clean and sober for months, he was happy, he was playing piano again, he was pulling himself together. Not only would he be an amazing boyfriend, but his partner would get the extra joy of getting to watch their love and devotion to him be the thing that saves this beautiful man's life. It's not healthy overall to tie your self worth and will to live to a relationship, but if he found the right person who would be there for him through all of life's shit and stick it out, I think he'd be okay. Even after his lowest point and without the support of his family, TJ still had a dream and he still chased it. He's not just the sweetest person to ever grace our screens, but he's ambitious and business-savvy, too. Keep him off drugs and watch this man take over the world, I'm telling you!

So why is TJ only #2? Well, besides the fact that he's like 99% gay and I have no bits he'd be interested in lmao, there's also the fact that this guy owns my heart:

1 Will Franklyn

And not just because we get to see him wet and mostly naked lol. Will is fucking perfect. I would die for this man... because he's already shown that he would die for his love. He almost fucking did, and they weren't even together yet! He's smart and very aware, he's a writer so we'd get to bond/geek out over books together, he's not all full of himself (self-deprecating humor ftw!) and he's willing to help a total stranger despite actual mortal peril, just because it's the right thing to do. Fierce, intelligent, sassy, strong-willed, and a flawless moral compass? YESYESYESYESYES! Forget boyfriend - let me MARRY this man! 😍🥰
