#as a certified logan lover i get a bit irrational

I think Loscar is very similar to Lestappen in the "we raced each other since we were little, and we are very close friends" thing

But since both Max and Charles are extremely popular and Logan is disliked by many (for nonexistent reasons, but that's not the point), everyone ignores Loscar, but loves Lestappen

(No hate to all the Lestappen people out there, just needed someone to compare them with)

i feel like a lot of f1 driver ships fall into one of two categories: the we’ve been racing each other since we were kids or just. teammates. there are also def ships that aren’t really either like piarles is childhood friends but less in a racing sense, and pierresteban has it’s own little friendship breakup moment (can you tell i used to be a big pierre shipper lol) but EITHER WAY. i do agree in the bare sense of been-rivals-since-forever but just on the principle that the drivers involved are different personality-wise it is still different. like the rivals part of loscar comes completely devoid of negative emotion from either party which is what makes it so interesting to me

anyways. now i’m just talking. on the teammates thing i do find that’s a jumping off point for most ships if they don’t have Past History. which is so fair like there kind of has to be some sort of point of connection like that to (for lack of a better word) justify a ship (not that any ship needs to be “justified.” write whatever you want) BUT! i do think some teammate pairings are much more compelling than others. they’re common on the principle that teams may produce a lot of content of their drivers interacting, and they spend a lot of time around each other, and they’re direct rivals; it becomes easier to pair them together, et cetera. but to make this less of a tangent i think the lack of logan/alex fic just proves the fact that the main issue is people not paying logan any mind bc logan and alex aren’t not compelling. but. nobody is writing it. probably because half of it is logan (+ alex is already half of plenty of other more popular ships tbh)

SORRY FOR RAMBLING. IT REALLY IS NOT THAT DEEP. i just find loscar very compelling both as a friendship and a ship and i am in the camp of People Are Sleeping On This. if you look at it there is a lot there (i’ve seen people write it off as boring, which just. No?) but no one who doesn’t care about an entire half of the pairing is going to bother giving it their time of day

at the end of the day anyone can ship whatever they want really and i’m not here to police that so i apologize if it comes off that way! i read a lot of ships i read a lot of random ships i will typically put summary over pairing (again, that’s why i search for fics in the fandom tag) but i obv still have my favorites. and i can be very not normal about them. i apologize for rambling peace and love <3

#ask #sometimes i feel weird getting into ships like this bc rpf reasons #but i do have a lot of thoughts #esp bc i like loscar So Much. i feel like too many people won’t even give it a chance #and are then gravitating towards shipping oscar w drivers they might like more or are just more popular #not that there’s anything wrong with that. but #as a certified logan lover i get a bit irrational
