Daniel Ricciardo broke the internet.

Let’s recap:

Almost a year ago, you found out you were expecting your first child with your husband, Daniel. You were thrilled, and you knew you had to come up with a way to surprise him. You got a onesie with his logo on it, a card with the words "and soon there will be 3" as a reference to your growing family AND his racing number 3, as well as the three pregnancy tests you took, and you placed them into a little gift box. On a boat day out in Monaco, you handed him the gift box, but not before you took your phone out and pressed record. He was confused as to why you were recording him, but he opened the box anyway. His face was priceless. He was ecstatic. It was a dream come true.

Since this was your first pregnancy, you wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible. You felt as though it was more special that way. His life was already so public, and yours was too as a result of being his wife. The two of you agreed to keep your pregnancy between your closest friends and family. But it didn’t take long before Daniel came home looking all guilty, and when you asked him what happened, he told you that everyone at the paddock knew he was going to be a dad. When you asked him how they knew, he sheepishly reminded you of his excitement and that you know how much he likes to talk. You forgave him, of course, because the paddock was like his second home. That was his family, too.

You didn’t get mad or upset. You knew your husband. Daniel is known to ramble, and he just couldn’t contain himself, but who could blame him? It was an exciting chapter in his life. one that came at a rough time, when he didn’t know what his future in Formula One would look like. Obviously, McLaren wasn't working out, and he didn’t know where else he would end up. But what mattered to him most was that his baby was coming.

It didn’t take long to find out the gender. He paid for the early test. He was too anxious to wait. The gender reveal was an intimate get-together with only a few family members and friends. As soon as the black balloon exploded and the blue confetti hit the floor, Daniel picked you up and spun you around in joy. "We’re having a boy!" He exclaimed with a huge smile on his face. His very own baby boy He already had a little boy in his life, his nephew, whom he watched grow up, and he couldn’t imagine loving someone more than he loves him. But he was excited to experience this new space of love, one he could only share with a son. He also fell even deeper in love with you after seeing you grow a life inside your body.

Keeping your pregnancy a secret in the beginning was a breeze. At first, there were no signs of a bump; you could get away with wearing any outfit. The second trimester came around, and you had to pull out all the flowy dresses and tops. Daniel watched you in awe as you performed daily tasks, but with a growing belly. He noticed your glow becoming brighter and brighter every day. He loved parading down the paddock with you while everyone congratulated you on the baby.

Throughout the season, you traveled to as many races as possible while you could still hide the bump, but it soon became too difficult. Especially since Daniel was the star of Drive to survive, and there was always a camera in his face. He had asked the producers to try and keep you out of the footage, but it was hard considering he wouldn’t leave your side unless he was in the car. The more your belly grew, the fewer races you attended. Ultimately, with your energy levels plummeting and your bump being extremely noticeable, you decided that it was finally time to stay home. Daniel missed having you at races, and you definitely felt weird having to watch them from home after being used to the hustle and bustle for years.

Daniel became less and less excited for race weekends as the season went on. One because, frankly, his car sucked, and two because you weren’t there with him. His favorite activity soon became taking the long haul flights back home, because he knew you’d be there waiting for him. Every time he’d arrive home, it was like his world was complete again. You’d be there waiting for him with a smile and your big ol’ growing belly. He didn’t know how to describe how intense his love and admiration for you had gotten. But he sure knew how to show it. Daniel showered you in hugs, kisses, massages, flowers, chocolate, gifts, love, but most importantly, reassurance. The pregnancy itself was fairly easy, but the part you were scared of the most was how his busy lifestyle would impact how much time he’d spend with you and the baby. So he did exactly what he knew you wanted but didn’t have the heart to ask for.

With the 2022 F1 season coming to an end, Daniel decided that it was the perfect opportunity to take time away from the sport so that he could spend time with his wife and his son, who could arrive at any time. He agreed to become a third driver for Red Bull, counting on the fact that they wouldn’t need him for a few weeks. He never gave the media much of an explanation as to why he decided to take a third driver position; all he said was that he needed time to himself. Some fans understood, and some didn’t, but it didn’t matter. He knew he had made the right decision.

His little boy, Luca Gabriel Ricciardo, was born on January 5, 2023. The day both your lives changed, but for the better.

You love watching him be a dad. He did it so effortlessly. He was eager to do night feeds and didn’t even mind staying up with the baby at night. He loved doing skin-to-skin, and was a pro at diaper changes. He wanted to be all hands on deck. The two of you would take long walks on the farm with Luca, and occasionally you would have picnics in the garden. That was what he cherished the most. When it was just you three. The family he built with the woman he loves

The months flew by, and next thing he knew, the Australian Grand Prix was coming up. He couldn’t hide anymore. His life was perfect, but he knew he had to go back to work. That’s his home race, and there isn’t an Australian Grand Prix without F1’s favorite Aussie.

Race week was the first time since Luca was born that Daniel spent time away from home. It felt weird for both you and him. In the 8 days that he was gone, there were approximately 52 FaceTime calls, 37 phone calls, and 12 pictures of Luca sent to him. He missed his son, and even though he was away, he still wanted to be a full participant in his soon-to-be 3-month-old's daily activities, which didn’t include much but eating, sleeping, and pooping, but you appreciated it.

Word travels fast in F1, and everyone was excited for Daniel’s return. As predicted, Daniel was asked a million times what he did to keep busy during the past three months. He would chuckle to himself and keep giving vague answers like, "I was working on myself."

But enough was enough.

With the Australian Grand Prix behind us, on Monday afternoon he arrived at home and immediately made his way towards you and his baby boy. After planting a kiss on your lips and one on his baby’s head, he looked down at you with a smile. You looked at him, almost afraid of what his mind had come up with. "How do you feel about finally presenting Luca to the world?" He asked. It caught you off guard, but you’d be lying if you said you haven’t thought about it.

"I think I’m ready if you are," you smiled back.

And that was all he needed to hear. He was finally going to show the world his biggest accomplishment: his family.

Daniel had taken a photo of you with Luca while you guys took a trip to the beach when he was about two months old. He loved the photo, and immediately knew that it was the photo he was going to use to announce his boy. Daniel had the post saved in his drafts for about two weeks. He was waiting for the perfect time, but after getting back to work, he knew that there was no better time. Everyone still had lots of questions, and he knew that the answers he gave didn’t actually give them any insight into what his days off looked like. But he could paint a perfect picture with one post. So on Monday, April 3, 2023, he introduced the world to his boy.

It didn’t take long before his comment section became flooded with support, surprised comments and overall excitement. Both of your phones began blowing up, and you two couldn’t contain your smile. You opened Twitter and saw people were already talking about it all over your timeline. Your family and friends left cute comments on his post, and you took the time to reply and like all of their comments. It meant a lot for the both of you that you had such a strong support system behind your family. Your boy was so loved, and he didn’t even know it yet.

Following Daniel’s Instagram post, you decided to share an announcement of your own.

omg we need daddy explaining to max why he needed security and why he arranged it himself 😭

I’ve been thinking about this a lot!

I think after Austin, Daniel and Max scramble to get security into place for Mexico. Red Bull offers to sort it on Max’s behalf, but Max and Daniel decide to do it themselves.

They’re both worried that if Mexico is as hard on Max as it’s looking it might be, that they’re going to need security that know Max’s secret. These people will be on the plane with them, they’ll be stood outside Max’s hotel room, they’ll be watching Max’s every move… they can’t risk it.

So. Daniel and Max hire the security themselves. There is water tight NDAs and contracts.

They don’t tell the security about little Max, but they make it clear that they need to go into this job with an open and non judgemental mind. Everyone agrees to the terms.

The weekend actually goes much better than expected. Max gets booed a bit, but not as much as Charles it turns out. The paddock is crowded, but Max’s security acts as a barrier between him and the fans.

He feels safe. Looked after. It’s nice.

It’s only after the race, when security is driving/escorting them to the plane, that Max starts to show signs of dropping. The two huge men in the front seats of the car notice him rub his eyes, rest his head on Daniel’s shoulder, whine a little.

They notice Daniel put his arm around Max.

They notice Daniel whispering in his ear “not much longer, sweetheart.”

And by the time they reach the plane Max is sucking his thumb.

The security get their bags out of the car, check the hanger for any hazards, and then open up the door for them.

Instead of getting out the car Max looks up at the security with his big blue eyes, and just says “Up, please.”

So polite.

Daniel can’t believe it. It actually startles a laugh out of him. Max clearly already feels comfortable with the two men that kept him safe all weekend.

“Don’t worry about it,” Daniel tells them, “I can get him.”

He’s pretty used to carrying Max, and he’s more than comfortable doing so - the security don’t need to do this part.

“No, sir,” The larger one says, lifting Max from the car easily. “It is no problem.”

Max wraps his legs around the man and rests his head on his shoulder as he’s carried to the plane. Daniel hears him chattering away. Something that sounds a lot like “Will you play with my cars on the plane?” ♥️

little bean | d. ricciardo

pairing: dad!daniel ricciardo x fem!reader word count: 5.5k words. request: yes, by an anon: "can we get dad dan please?🥺 like his son is total opposite of him, really shy and likes to be around his own surroundings and you leave for a work trip so he stays with dan and he is so shy around the paddock, gets into fits when dan has to drive but at the end of the weekend he starts to like everyone, seb, lewiss doggo and dan just happy to have such a good outcome of the dad son race weekend🥺 omg i know it's specific but damn that mand and my thought of him about being a dad…🙄" & @tamaraudvardy "hiyaa🥺 those pictures of daniel and his nephew melted me so can we please get a dad daniel au?😍 i dont my the concept, just fluff danny" happy to see we were all collectively affected by those pictures. i tried my best. warnings: language, kids, fluff!!! this is a very long piece and i'm not sorry. (slight allusions to daddy kink)a/n: does anyone feel like they've just witnessed an epic journey of a warrior returning home from war after seeing daniel finally reuniting with his family, or is that just me? <3

my masterlist

"mommy has to go now," you tell noah as you feel him tightening his grip around your neck. "you'll be traveling with daddy and uncle michael, okay?" you rub your hand up and down his back, over the fabric of his shirt.

"where?" you hear him mumbling.

"oh, noah, you're going to love it. we're going to a city called austin, and you know what?” dan asks, standing next to you.

“what?” noah echoes, his head lifting from your shoulder.

“we’re going to dress up as cowboys,” daniel smiles, pushing noah’s hair away from his face. you gasp, eyes going wide as you try to hype noah up.

“noah! you and daddy are going to be just like sheriff woody!” you cheer, watching a smile on his face.

“but… why can’t we just dress up here? and mommy, you can be jessie,”

“i would love to do that, noah. but i have to go. do you remember that time we went to a museum with a big glass pyramid?” you ask, you’d joined daniel for the french gp, you and noah staying in the hotel whilst daniel was at the track. the day after the race, you’d taken a detour to paris, and noah visited the louvre museum for the first time. once noah nods, telling you he remembers the place, you nod as well, “that’s where i have to go. and you and daddy will go to austin.” you explain again.

four-year-old noah joseph ricciardo is a ray of sunshine. his huge, bright smile is an echo of his father’s, it can light up even the darkest moments. his contagious smile can melt away any sorrows, any worries or sadness. he is truly the best thing that could ever happen to you, you love him to death. same for daniel.

the moment he found out you were pregnant he was so excited, he kneeled down in front of you, pushing your shirt up your stomach as he stared at the skin in marvel. he placed his huge, calloused hands softly on top of your stomach, thumb rubbing soothing circles that caused goosebumps on your skin. you looked through teary eyes as daniel’s lips -that were forming a perfect o- slowly curled upwards, and he was smiling harder than you’d ever seen before. even bigger than the grin he had on your wedding day. his arms circled your back, pulling you closer to him. he nuzzled his face against your skin, your fingers tangling with his hair as you felt him place kisses on every inch of skin he could find.

“hi, there,” he leaned his chin on your stomach, eyes looking up at you briefly before returning to your bare skin. “i don’t know if you can hear me in there, but i’m your daddy. i- my name’s daniel. but, you, of course are going to call me dad, or daddy. i’m already used to that one, don’t worry,” you both chuckled as you slapped the back of his head lightly. “fuck. oh, shit, sorry, i have to be careful with my words from now on, don’t i?” he asked you, to which you nodded with a smile on your face, blinking back the happy tears in your eyes. “okay. so, i obviously haven’t met you yet, and it is so bizarre because i… i already love you so much.” he looked up at you again, and you felt one of his hands traveling down your arm, you laced your fingers with his. “we, mommy and daddy, love you so much, little bean. you’re going to be the happiest baby ever, we’ll spoil the hell out of you, we’ll have all sorts of fun, family adventures together. you’ll get to come with me to my races,” his eyes widened at the thought. “you’ll be my number one fan, and i’ll be yours as well, i promise you that.” he placed another kiss on your stomach.

“we don’t know if they’ll like racing,” you reminded him, fingers brushing against his curls.

“baby, i’m their father… you better prepare for double the trouble from now on…” he grinned, a shit-eating smile that made your heart flutter. “there won’t be a second of silence once this little bean is born, this house will be full of laughter and music that even the neighbors will get so tired of complaining that they’ll just let us be,” you both chuckled. “i can’t fucking wait to meet you, little bean. we’re going to have so much fun.”

“daddy and i stay together?” noah asks, and he stretches his arms, daniel grabs him and nods.

“eventually, i will have to get in the car for a few hours, but you’ll be with uncle michael meanwhile, is that okay?” daniel says as he kisses noah’s cheek repeatedly.

“just uncle michael and i? in the hotel?” noah leans back, placing his hands on dan’s face. the tone of his voice sounded more like a prayer than a question.

another thing about noah, whilst he looks like an exact replica of his father, has the same charisma and charm, his personality’s the complete opposite of daniel’s. whilst daniel’s outgoing and loud, loves experiencing new things and isn’t afraid of anything, noah likes to stay in the same place, he loves his routine, and he needs having one of his parents around him at all times.

he’s not a very social boy, and you’re completely fine with that, you love him to death just the way he is, and since this is the first time you’ve reached this crossroads, your heart aches at the thought of your little bean struggling with interacting with new people.

“no, buddy, you’ll be in the garage, or the motorhome, you remember that?” daniel asks, pulling out his phone and scrolling until he finds a picture of the three of you outside the orange building in the paddock. he turns the phone to him, and you walk to noah, standing next to him as you plant a kiss on his cheek.

“noah, i know this is something scary for you. i remember i was really scared when i went there with daddy for the first time.” you say, “but you’ve been there before. you’ll look so cute with that little cowboy outfit and hat, maybe you’ll get to see little roscoe again! do you remember the doggy?” you ruffle his hair as he nods.

“he licked me!” noah giggles as he recalls the memory. you and dan laugh as well.

“yeah! and you’ll see all of daddy’s friends. uncle max will be there, too,”

“he wins the race?” noah asks, he’d gotten used to watching max win the previous races. you laugh as daniel gasps.

“what about me? don’t you want daddy to win the race?” dan presses a hand against his chest, feigning hurt, which makes noah giggle uncontrollably.

after convincing noah that traveling with daniel will be fun, you grab your bags and head out for the airport. praying to the stars that this weekend is kind to your little bean.

“okay, bug, we have to pack your suitcase. can you think of something you want to bring for the trip?” daniel asks as he walks to noah’s room with the boy perched on his hip.

“cowboy clothes?” he suggests, daniel nods.

“the cowboy outfits will be in the hotel when we get there.” dan sits noah on his bed, and sits on the floor as he begins showing noah some articles of clothing, putting aside what noah wants to pack and placing the others back in place. “so, uncle michael will be sleeping here tonight, and early tomorrow we’ll go to the airport and fly to austin, okay?” it was important that you and dan explained everything to theo, so he could prepare for what was coming.

“okay. can i bring woody?” he shows his stuffed sheriff, the one that had noah’s name written on the bottom of the left boot.

“of course, bean!” daniel nods, “you can pick two more toys, okay? that way we won’t forget how many we took with us. do you know how much one plus two is?” he holds up a finger in one hand, two in the other. he watches as his son mimics his actions, then slowly counts under his breath.

“three! we take three toys!” he cheers.

“great job, noah!” daniel high-fives noah, his smile widening as noah runs to his closet and pulls out the small dinosaur-themed suitcase you got him for his birthday.

once everything is packed and michael, daniel’s trainer and one of his closest friends, arrives and plays a bit with noah, daniel prepares mac and cheese for the three of them, noah’s favorite food (and his). they eat as they talk about how exciting austin will be, promising noah to take him to a farm or ranch, when an idea crosses daniel’s mind.

“baby schumi!” he whispers to himself, grabbing his phone and typing a message.

“daddy?” it’s late. daniel’s in bed, hugging your pillow, he misses your scent, your warmth. he turns around, seeing noah standing next to him.

“what’s up, bean?” noah climbs in bed, laying on top of daniel.

“i miss mommy,” he mumbles, his chubby cheek pressed against dan’s chest.

“i know, bug. i miss her, too. but i talked to her a bit ago,” he kissed the top of noah’s head. “she said she's flying in the day after the race. and once she gets there, the three of us are going to a friend's ranch."

"like a farm?" noah asks, "i get to see animals?" his eyes open in excitement. daniel nods as he runs his hand up and down noah's back.

"yeah, bean. do you like that idea?" he whispers, to which noah only nods his head in reply, his eyes feeling heavy as daniel's breathing soothed him to sleep. "night, little bean. i love you," he kisses the top of noah's head, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep with his son in his arms.

“you ready, bug?” daniel asks as he parks the car. noah is sitting on the backseat, playing with his woody and buzz lightyear toys. they’re both wearing their matching outfits, black shirts with silver details, dark jeans, and brown boots and hats. “do you remember how it was in italy? when daddy won?” he turns, looking at noah, who is nodding. “so there will be lots of people, but don’t worry, i won’t let go of you until we’re inside the motorhome. okay?” noah’s eyes drift down, fingers playing with his toys. “there will be cameras taking pictures of us, and you can show them all your cowboy outfit, isn’t that exciting?” he places a hand on noah’s leg.

“i can take woody?” he asks, clutching the toy close to his chest.

“of course you can! you can bring buzz as well, so you play with uncle michael when i’m busy.” noah nods, a small smile on his face. “you can ask him to make those funny voices you like,” daniel lifts his hand, rubbing noah’s cheek with his finger, making him laugh. “are you ready?”

“yes, daddy,”

hand in hand, they walk into the f1 paddock, noah grips his father’s hand tightly, his woody and buzz close to his chest. there’s people calling daniel’s name and he smiles at them, looking down at his son, who looks around with wide eyes, seeing all the people holding cameras in front of them.

“daddy,” he calls. “arms,” he raises his arms.

“i got you, bug. i got you. here we go, just three cowboys and an astronaut,” he grabs the toys in his free hand as noah circles his neck with his tiny arms. “look over there,” he points to the red bull garage, where max was laughing as he looked at them.

“uncle max!” noah yells, lifting his head from daniel’s shoulder. cameras follow them as they get close to the dutch.

“what’s this?” max asks, smiling at the father-son duo.

“just three cowboys and an astronaut,” noah repeats his father’s words, which make daniel laugh.

“damn right, bug,” he slips out.

“bad word, daddy!” noah laughs as daniel nods, “uncle max, where’s your cowboy shirt?”

“ah! i forgot it, mate! do you think i could borrow yours?” he asks, tickling noah’s belly.

“no!” he shrieks, laughing. “i match with daddy!” noah smiles. “you can have my hat,” he takes the hat off his head, placing it on top of max’s red bull cap. “there.”

the photographers take this opportunity to snap pictures of the interaction, noah hears the shutter and clicks of cameras over their laughter, suddenly becoming aware of all the eyes on them. slowly, he places his head back on daniel’s shoulders.

“i got you, bean.” daniel says as max places the hat back in the boy’s head. “say goodbye to uncle max.”

“bye, uncle max!” noah waves his hand, smiling.

“see you, noah. have fun,”

as they walk into the mclaren motorhome, daniel reminds noah of the worker’s names, he’d seen them just a few weeks ago in italy, and had played with some of them. but you were with him, now he was going to be alone with them when his father was busy.

thursday was okay, noah stayed with michael whilst daniel had interviews and the press conference. some mclaren workers popped in sometimes to talk to noah, played with him for a little while when they had some free time. he recognized a young woman named jenna, who’d played with him back in italy, the girl had made him feel at ease back then, and daniel had asked her to look after noah during the weekend, when michael and dan were both busy. as they were doing the track walk, jenna joined them, playing with the boy as daniel and his engineer studied the track. noah and jenna skipped on one leg, walked backward, and once daniel finished with the technical aspect of the track walk, it was now his turn to play with the boy, who was slowly coming out of his shell.

“i need to go, bug,” daniel rubs his hand up and down noah’s back. the boy is in his arms, legs around daniel’s back, face buried in his father’s neck as silent tears fall from his eyes. “noah, i promise i’ll be back before you know it, okay?”

“why can’t i stay with uncle michael?” noah cries, clutching his father’s neck.

it’s friday, fifteen minutes before the first practice of the weekend, and daniel’s heart is breaking as he hears his son’s broken voice. they’re in his driver’s room, with michael and jenna. daniel looks at both of them, shaking his head side to side, asking them to leave the room. once father and son are alone, he starts walking around the small space, feeling his neck wet with noah’s tears.

“talk to me, bean. are you scared? nervous?”

“don’t want you to go,”

“but we talked about it this morning, noah. you said you were going to show jenna your toys, she wants to play with you,” he whispers in his son’s ear. noah stays quiet, moving his head so he’s looking toward the room. daniel continues walking, and noah notices they’re alone.

“where’s uncle michael?”

“they’re waiting outside, so we can talk, just us two.” daniel knew there was something bothering noah, something he wasn’t saying.

“i miss mommy,” he mumbles, and daniel sits down on the small sofa, his hand on his son’s hair.

“oh, bug,” daniel coos, hugging noah. “i know you miss her. i miss her, too. but we’ll see mommy in just a few days.”

“i know. but i miss her,” he repeats.

“that’s okay, noah. here’s what we can do, why don’t we call her?” daniel asks, grabbing his phone.

“can i see her?” noah lifts his head from daniel’s shoulder. daniel nods, tapping the video call button. noah shifts in daniel’s lap, leaning his back against his father’s chest. soon, your make-up free face fills the screen, a smile on your face as you see them.

“mommy!” noah yells, grabbing the phone and placing it a little too close to his face as he scans the screen. “mommy!” he smiles.

“hi, my love, how are you?” you smile as you watch noah. “did you see daddy get in his car?” you had reminders on for every session of the season, there were only five minutes left before the first practice, and even though it was so late for you, you were thinking about watching the session.

“daddy’s here,” noah moves the phone. daniel now holds the phone away so you can see both of them. “i miss you, mommy.”

“i miss you, too, noah. and i miss your daddy as well. why aren’t you in the car, daniel?” you ask, leaning on your side.

“we wanted to talk to you first, isn’t that right, bug?” noah nods.

“yeah,” noah looks down. you notice that.

“why don’t we talk whilst daddy goes to work, noah? i can stay with you until he comes back,” you offer, smiling as you see noah perk up.

“okay!”

“alright, bean, why don’t you go get jenna so she can watch you while you talk to mommy, okay? she’s right outside,” daniel points to the door.

“okay, daddy. mommy, don’t go, i’ll be right back!” he tells you right before jumping off daniel’s lap and running out the door.

“i miss you, love.” daniel says the second noah’s out the door.

“i miss you, too. has noah been crying?” you ask, you’d seen his eyes a little red.

“yeah, i explained the schedule for the day this morning, and all day he’s been clinging to me, i knew there was something more going on. and like, ten minutes ago he started crying because he didn’t want me to leave,” your heart broke at the words.

“oh, my little boy,” you almost pout.

“he was great yesterday, he loved his little outfit, and started opening up to jenna, which was how i knew something was up today. he misses you,”

“daniel, i am going to cry,” you say. you love your little bean with all your heart, and it breaks your heart to hear that he was suffering.

“i know. i’m about to, as well.” he chuckles. “are you sure you’re not tired? i can figure something out-”

“it’s okay, dan. you have your own responsibilities, i can stay awake for one more hour, and you can call me if you need me later, okay? we’ve got this. we’re a team.” you remind him.

“mommy, look what jenna made me!” noah says as he walks in, with the mclaren girl walking behind him.

“they’re waiting for you,” she tells daniel, who nods.

“i have to go, my bean, you stay here with mommy and jenna, okay?” daniel sets the phone against the wall and the desk, sitting noah down in the chair in front.

“hug,” noah says as he raises his arms. dan crouches next to noah, pulling him close to his chest.

“i’ll be back soon, okay, bug?” he pushes the curls away from noah’s face. the boy nods, smiling.

“good luck, daddy. i’ll be waiting right. here.” he says, tapping the desk twice as he says the last two words.

“i love you, bean. i’ll see you in a few. bye, love!” he ruffles noah’s hair, waving at you.

“bye, dan. good luck. i love you,” you smile at him.

“love you, too.” he says as he rushes out of the room, pushing his arms through the sleeves of his racing suit as he walked down the stairs.

talking to you does the trick. noah’s in a far better mood for the rest of the day. during the few hours before fp2 noah was back to his happy self. daniel has to shoot a video with lando, who plays with the boy as they set up everything.

“doggy!” noah yells as he sees lewis’ physio walking roscoe. “daddy, can i go pet the dog?” noah asks, leaving lando behind as he rushes to his father, who’s getting ready to do an interview.

“i’ll take him,” lando offers, daniel smiles, grateful.

“just for a bit, noah.”

“hi, doggy, do you remember me?” noah coos as he kneels in front of the dog, softly petting him. after playing with him for a few minutes, lando and noah walk back to daniel.

the two drivers sit in some chairs and are handed some cards for the interview. noah stands next to jenna, he gathers up the courage and taps her hand.

“can we go explore some more?” he asks, she nods her head. “i’ll go tell daddy.” noah walks to his father, who wraps an arm around his son’s waist. “daddy, can jenna and i go explore?”

it takes daniel a few seconds to process what he’d just heard, but after the initial shock he smiles, nodding.

“of course you can, bean. just don’t stray too far away from jenna, okay?”

“yes, daddy!”

noah holds jenna’s hand in his, he looks around with a surprised look on his face, everything looked so gigantic in the eyes of the four-year-old. the mclaren girl and noah stumble into a giant game of jenga.

“mini ric!” aston martin driver, sebastian vettel, says hi to the boy. “do you want to play with us?” he points to mick schumacher, who waves at the boy.

“you’re daniel’s boy?” mick asks, crouching in front of noah, who nods, taking a step back. “my name’s mick. did your father tell you about the ranch?” mick smiles.

a few days before, after promising noah that he’d take him to some place where he could see some animals, he remembered the offer mick made just a few days ago. they’d go to the schumacher’s ranch the following monday.

“yeah, i’m going to see animals,” noah felt at ease in the presence of both germans, having met sebastian many times before.

“i’ll be there as well,” mick smiles. “it’s my family’s ranch,” he says proudly, watching noah’s eyes widening in surprise.

“whoa!” noah breathes.

“do you want to play? we’ll let you choose the blocks,” sebastian smiles as noah nods.

everyone completely forgets that the two germans are supposed to be answering the questions as the cameras keep rolling, everyone is too enthralled by the young ricciardo, who gets lost in the game, until he hears his father’s voice.

“well, well, well, what do we have here?” he asks, faking a southern accent as he approaches them.

“daddy!” noah rushes to his dad. “look, i’m playing with them!” he points to the german drivers, who bump fists with daniel.

“you’re having fun, huh?” daniel smiles. “were uncle mick and uncle seb nice company?” he asks.

“yeah, we’re going to uncle mick’s ranch!” noah points to the young haas driver, who smiles at the boy.

“that’s right, bug. say goodbye now, we’ve got to eat lunch now,” he holds noah in his arms, noah throws an arm around daniel’s neck, waving to the germans with his free hand.

“thanks uncle mick and uncle seb, goodbye!” noah says, leaning into his father.

after eating, noah falls asleep in daniel’s driver’s room, so he instantly relaxes at the thought of having to go through that whole thing again.

saturday is a much better day, you had explained to noah that you wouldn’t be able to talk during practice 3, because you had work, which he understood. but in truth, you had to leave for the airport. you’d managed to finish everything for work way earlier than expected, and had changed your flight, so you could be there for the race. you wanted it to be a surprise, so you didn’t tell daniel or noah, only texted michael so he could set up a car to pick you up and drive you to the hotel and then to the track.

early that day, daniel had the chance to drive his hero’s nascar car, and noah had watched from the pit wall as the car passed him. he’d seen his father’s huge smile once he got out. daniel’s heart felt like it was beating out of his chest. as soon as daniel slipped out of the car, noah ran to his father, and with noah in his arms, perched on his hip, daniel did all the interviews, talked with zak and everyone else. daniel looked at his son, who had a proud smile on his face.

for qualifying, noah asks daniel if he can watch it from the garage, to which daniel responds by throwing the child in the air, catching him in his arms and pulling him close to his chest. noah has on a pair of kid-sized headphones over his ears, protecting him from all the loud noises. as the mechanics prepare the car, daniel asks noah if he’d like to sit in the car.

noah had always been curious about what it’d be like to sit in his father’s car, so he shyly nodded. daniel was almost jumping up and down in excitement, with his phone out and recording and taking pictures of him.

“daddy, sit here, too!” noah laughs. daniel takes him out of the car, climbing in and sitting down on the tight space. once he’s settled in, michael places noah on his father’s lap. noah feels a little claustrophobic, but smiles to the cameras as he places his hand on his father’s shoulder.

“what do you want to have for dinner?” daniel asks noah as they walk into their hotel suite.

“mac’n’cheese!” noah beams, placing on a small table his new dinosaur plushy that lando had given him.

“okay, why don’t you go change your clothes while i order? can you do that, bean?” noah nods. “put this on your suitcase as well,” he instructs, pointing to the new toy. the boy grabs it, heading for the room.

“daddy, why is it so cold?” noah asks. the boy’s eyes widen as he sees a figure sleeping on the bed. you’d fallen asleep as soon as your head hit the pillows. noah panics, dropping his dinosaur and rushing out of the room.

“daddy! there’s someone sleeping in there!” noah whispers. daniel’s eyes go wide.

“stay here,” he says, noah nods, watching as daniel walks slowly to the room.

daniel spots you immediately, the covers up to your chin, the ac on full blast like you always had it (so you had to cuddle close to dan), even with the thick duvet and blanket, he can make out your figure perfectly. he stands there, stunned that you’re there. there. in austin. earlier than you’d planned. quietly, he walks out with a smile on his face. seeing noah standing right where he’d left him.

“noah, that’s mommy.” daniel whispers.

“mommy? she was in the pyramid!” he says, running to his father, who lifts him up.

“i know, that’s what i thought, too. but she’s here. she must’ve flown in earlier to surprise us.”

“that’s nice of her,” noah whispers, leaning forward so he can see your sleeping figure.

“shall we wake her up?” daniel asks, noah nods, an excited grin on his face.

they both walk to you, slowly and silently, until they reach the end of the bed, daniel throws noah to the bed, yelling as he climbs on the bed himself.

“mommy! wake up, we’re here!” noah shrieks.

“wake up, my love!” daniel yells.

you wake up startled, your heart beating fast inside your chest as you see your little bean and your husband in front of you. you let your head fall back against the pillows, placing a hand on your chest as you recover from the shock. you hear them both laugh as you calm down.

“you scared the living daylights out of me,” you say, laughing. “where’s my baby bug?” you coo, stretching your arms, noah jumps into your arms and you engulf him in the tightest embrace ever. “i missed you so much, my little bean,” you kiss the top of his hair as he throws his arms around your neck.

“missed you too, mommy. don’t ever leave again,” he murmurs, hiding his face in the crook of your neck.

after reuniting with your boys, your food arrives and you all eat as noah tells you everything he did that weekend. it amazes you so much how one weekend alone with dan has really helped noah come out of his shell. you hear him talk about all the drivers he spoke to, played with, really getting out of his comfort zone. noah falls asleep first, as is expected. giving you alone time with dan. you both sit on the sofa, your back against his chest as you tell him how your trip was.

he tells you how surprised he was to see noah so comfortable after just three days there, how excited he got when daniel was driving the nascar car, how he watched the quali from the garage and even sat on the car with him.

the next morning, noah and dan are sporting matching texas longhorn jerseys. you and noah stay in the garage while daniel goes to his runway show the driver's parade. you cheer for him inside the garage as he drives to the grid. after an intense race, noah is yelling at the screens as he sees max on the last turn.

"look, mommy, that's uncle mick!" noah points to the car in front of max's, you're surprised at the nickname he gave the german.

"max can go faster now," you say as noah jumps up and down in excitement.

"go uncle max! yeeeesss!" he screams at the top of his lungs as max crosses the finish line. you cheer for the dutch as well. "daddy!" noah yells as he sees the orange car. "go, daddy!" he screams.

"daddy finished fifth, baby!" you grab noah in your arms, kissing his cheek.

"five!" he says as he holds up five fingers.

you and noah watch the podium celebration, watching the red bull mechanics in the huge parked car. they notice you and noah, beckoning you to sit with them. noah laughs as he watches his uncle max spray the champagne. max sees the young boy in the center of the car and waves at him.

"daddy, congrats!" noah jumps from your arms to daniel's, his arms circling dan's neck.

"thanks little bean, did you have fun?" he leans his forehead against noah's, smiling as you three walk to the motorhome.

"yeah! i saw uncle max on the podium!" he smiles.

"did you now?"

"what are we doing now?" noah asks, looking at you two.

"we're going back to the hotel so we can rest a little, after that we can go out and eat something. how's that sound?" daniel suggests, and noah nods his head.

"yeah, okay. and tomorrow we go with uncle mick to see the animals?" he asks for confirmation.

"that's right, bug,"

"you've got a lot of uncles now, don't you noah?" you raise an eyebrow as you climb the steps to daniel's driver's room.

"yes, i liked coming here, mommy,"

"that's nice to hear, bean. did you have fun this weekend?"

"yes! when can we do it again?” noah smiles as he pushes open the door to daniel’s room. noah walks in, jumping on the sofa as you and dan lean back against the shut door, smiling at your son.

“you’ve created a monster, ricciardo,” you tell dan, whose smile is as wide as ever.

“nah, he just needed a little help opening up. it’s in his genes,” daniel shakes his head slightly, throwing an arm around your shoulders, you lean your head on his shoulder, watching as noah plays with his toys.

“now i’m scared to leave you both alone, who knows what mischief you two troublemakers can cause!” you say as you walk to noah, tickling his belly.

after daniel changes from his racing suit to a more comfortable outfit, you all walk downstairs, noah walking ahead of you, leading the way.

he waves at people as he walks by, thanking jenna for playing with him during the weekend.

“i love him,” you grip daniel’s hand in yours, a proud twinkle in your eye as you watch your little bean. “i love you,”

“i love you, too. this has been one of the greatest weekends of my life,” daniel says. “i’m so grateful for you and our little bean,” you nod at his words, trying your hardest not to let your eyes fill with happy tears.

“it’s odd… watching him so carefree. i know my shy, quiet little boy is still in there, but it’s like he was meant to outshine everything else this weekend.”

“that’s the beauty of texas, baby,” daniel fakes an accent, which makes you roll your eyes as you laugh.

“no more accent, please,” you beg, “and you’re shaving this as soon as we get to the hotel,” you place a hand on his face, thumb tapping his beard.

“oh, come on!”

(JUST A THING, PARKER, AKA ME, I PUT BOTH BY PRONOUNS IN THIS she/they, SOOOO, JUST A THING)

N e ways,,,,creds to @westanaew , it’s not just her first collab its also MINE. We did this together <3

Also, Gabby is gonna be the main character in part one :)

(happy birthday Hangman)

“I don’t know what you want from me Joey.” She laughed. Gabby and Joey were live for Janela Zone, like they did every weekend. “What do you mean Gabby,” Joey chuckled, “I told you to chug the White Claw or listen to Barbie girl for 1. Hour.” Joey said. This was the normal for them, just two people going live for the entertainment of their fans. Joey Janela was, well Joey Janela. But Gabby was a fan that wanted to go live with her idol, which quickly turned into a friend when the people started liking on their lives.

One day Gabby was with her friends, Parker and Bri, that she met from being wrestling fans. They were together at a hotel, something they didn’t do often since they lived in different states.

“Bitch I know you’re not about to go live with us here!” Parker yelled. It was time for Gabby and Joey’s weekly stream, and she was doing it either way. “I mean I can go get food, I’m kind of hungry anyways.” Bri offered.

“Humans just be normal. It’s only for a few hours.” Gabby tried to explain, but Parker wasn’t having it. “I know you did not just saying a few fucking hours-“ Parker seemed fed up, but Gabby knew she would get over it.

“Guys let’s see if Gabby is in here.” Joey said. Gabby was ready while Parker and Bri sat in the back awkwardly. When Joey added her, he noticed Bri laying on one of the 2 beds in the background. “Who’s that in the background?” Joey questioned. “Oh them? Those are just my friends, Parker and Bri.” Gabby said then looking back at a surprised Parker. “Hi Joey, big fan” Parker stated. Eventually Parker and Bri joined in and the whole group had a lot of fun on live that night, so much fun that Joey would offer them something. “I swear, I got to fly y’all out for All Out next Saturday.” They didn’t think he was serious till Gabby got a dm after they got off of the live with Joey asking if they could actually come. Of course, they accepted and off to All Out they were in 2 weeks.

The Day of All Out

“Look how big it is!” Gabby said, pointing at the titantron, amazed. “That’s what she said.” Parker smirked. “Bitch be wholesome for 5 seconds, geez!” Gabby exclaimed. “I knew y’all would do this.” Bri laughed with her head down.

“Hey! Gabby over here!” Joey said waving towards them. Parker and Gabby waved back. “Omg y’all that’s like actually Joey Janela!” Gabby was excited, but really emotional about it. Before all the lives, Gabby was a huge fan of Joey, and his wrestling helped her through a lot of stuff. She dreamed about meeting him even though they were friends, today was the day her dream would come true. The group made their way towards Joey, Parker and Bri excited while Gabby was in shock it was really happening.

“Hey guys!” Joey said when we made our way over to him. “What’s up Joey, thank you for everything, we really appreciate it.” Gabby said, fighting back tears. She didn’t wanna get all emotional right now so she held it in. ”Sup Joey, nice meeting you” Parker said, trying not to burst out of excitement.

”Hi Joey, great meeting you.” Unlike the other two, Bri hugged Joey, then behind his back winking. Gabby caught this, “Not today Brianna.” Gabby whispered but loud enough Bri got the message.

Bri rolled her eyes at Gabby while letting go of Joey, Parker holding back laughter so Joey wouldn’t know what was happening. “Joey let's get a picture, this’ll be my biggest flex.” Gabby said, pulling out her phone and opening Instagram. All four of them took a group photo then all getting individual photos with Joey. “You guys wanna head to catering? I’m sure you’ll run into someone there.” Joey offered. “Sure why not!” Parker agreed, trying not to sound too nervous. They all headed backstage to the catering area.

“Ok guys, the food is over there against the wall and that’s about it. I’m 100% sure you’ll run into someone over here. I’m gonna head out to find Sonny, so have fun.” Joey said, he really invited them then left.

That’s when the group heard a very familiar voice. “What’s up guys,” He motioned towards one of them, “are you Gabby?” said Nick Jackson, coming over to sit with them. “Yes I am, are you Nick Jackson?” Gabby said in a sarcastic but funny way. Bri sat and smiled while Parker sat there like an idiot, mouth agape, starstruck by the man sitting across from them.

“I like your attitude,” Nick laughed at Gabby’s sarcasm, “and from what I’ve heard you guys are funny, so I’m inviting you on BTE. We needed some extra people this week and you guys seem to fit the spot.” Nick offered.

“Deadass?!” Parker questioned. “I'M DEADASS!” Nick shouted, then breaking a smile. “I’m down.” Bri said. “Yea me too, it’ll be fun.” Gabby said, checking her phone for a notification.

“Okay sounds great! Gabby I think we’ll have you working with Adam, Joey said you guys were pretty similar,” He pointed towards her, and she looked up from her phone surprised from what she was hearing. “Parker, from what I’ve heard? The Best Friends bit sounds perfect for you, and Bri, I think you’ll go best with Private Party.”

“Alright.” “Amazing.” “Sounds good to me.”

“Okay,” He clapped his hands together, “You’ll have a bit of time to pre plan before we start shooting in,” he checked his phone, “About an hour, so, see y’all in a little bit.”

Once Nick walked away Parker and Bri turned towards their friend, “Gabby and Adam sitting in a tree.” Bri sang, wanting to get on her nerves, “Not now, Brianna.” “She is c-h-o-k-i-n-g.” Parker finished, “Parker Lorin Jones!!!!” The three joked before breaking off, finding the groups for their bits on Being The Elite.

Gabby walked around Daily’s Place, until she found Adam, sitting, clearly waiting for something. She took a deep breath before approaching him, “Hi Adam, I’m-” “Gabby, working with me for Being The Elite?” Adam cut in, and she felt her cheeks get hot, “Uh, yeah.”

The blonde nodded, “I’ve watched you on Janela Zone before, you seem pretty chill. Shall we talk about the bit before we start?” He held out his arm for her to hook it. She was nervous at first but she inhaled, then exhaled, and hooked her arm through his, “We shall.”

“I’m going to use the bathroom, don’t die while I’m gone.” Gabby said while getting up from her seat. “Bitch you know you dying first outta us.” Parker said, gazing over to the side avoiding to make eye connection with Gabby. “Go choke Parker.'' Gabby said, walking away to find the nearest bathroom, that’s when while walking down the hallway she spotted a lonely cowboy sitting at the bar by himself.

It was Adam Page, then she saw an angry Kenny Omega walking out of the bar. “Fuuck.” She saw the cowboy whisper, then taking a drink of his Jack Daniels. Gabby saw a look in his face that she didn’t really see on tv, a more sad than angry look in his eyes. So she took it upon herself to go sit with him at the bar.

“Excuse me can I uh, get 1 whiskey?” Gabby asked the bartender. “You must be Joey’s friend everyone’s been talking about.” Adam said, taking another sip of his drink. “Yup that’s me.” Gabby said, taking a sip of her whiskey. She followed that up with, “You didn’t look like you were doing well and-“ Adam cut Gabby off, “Gabby I don’t know you and you don’t know me so what’s up? If you want a one night ssand you can jusssay that.” Adam said, slurring his words and still drinking. “No it’s not that, I just saw the pain in your face. What happened with Kenny?” She asked, she let the one night stand comment slide since he was obviously drunk. ”Kenny’ssjust being complicated, he doesn’twant me drinking with Cash and Dax. And I know they have their problemssbut that has nothing to do with me.” Adam said, finishing off his drink.

“I feel you, but sometimes you just gotta let people be mad. And put yourself first.” Gabby said, then also finishing off her drink. “Nice talk, wesshould talk more. I like you.” A drunk Adam Page mumbled out, still slurring his words. “Yea I’m down.” Gabby got up, tipped her cup towards Adam and made her way out the bar. Adam tipped his glass right back at her before looking back towards the bartender.

LaTeR iN tHe EpIsOdE

Parker was walking backstage, minding her own business and looking at her phone. “I wonder where Gabby WEN-” Parker was grabbed by her arm and dragged into a room.

Parker held up their fist, when they put them down, “God, what do you guys want?” “Look, you gotta help us,” They looked up at Chuck Taylor, “We’re trying to kill Brandon.” “Excuse me, WHAT?”

Trent put his hands on their shoulders, “He’s been annoying us about a bit for weeks, so we’ve been planning to, y’know, take him out.” Parker sighed, “I don’t know, Orange what do you think?” They all looked towards Orange Cassidy who shrugged and gave them a lazy thumbs up. She looked back towards Chuck and Trent, “God, he’s persuasive.” She looked like she was weighing her options, before she blurted out, “Fine! But I swear to God,” They held up a finger to their faces, “If you even THINK about blaming all this on me, I will kill you guys next.” The pair just nodded their heads and looked towards the door.

Brandon walked in, looking peeved, “Do you guys have a bit?” Trent talked to Brandon while Chuck motioned Parker towards the bat in the corner. She picked it up, making that face you knew said, “Really bitch?” He made the motion of him just swinging the bat. Parker walked behind Brandon, Trent and Chuck made faces and mouthed at her to just do it.

The camera went black and the sound of the bat hitting a surface was heard.

The screen showed all them standing over the man, when they all started screaming, except Orange, who kept his cool. “What do we do what do we do?!?!” Parker yelled, freaking out. Trent looked around, “Uh, put him in the closet!”

Parker shook her head, “No, no being in the closet isn’t fun at all.” Everyone in the room, including the now dead Brandon put on a straight face and looked directly at the camera, “Get it?”

They all went back to their worried, chill and dead faces. Trent, Chuck and Parker all looked around the room when all their eyes fell on a suitcase. They all knew what they had to do, when the screen changed to a different place in a building, showing a different bit.

tImE sKiP

The same group of the Best Friends and Parker walked towards the EVPs office. “You tell them that you killed Brandon.” Chuck said, pointing at Parker. She looked at him, offended, “Listen here you Kentucky born idiot! It was YOUR idea!” “Okay but who hit him with the bat?” Trent added in. “Are you serious right now? I-” They all started arguing, so loud that Matt looked out the door, “Hey, can you guys keep it down?” Parker pushed the men back before pointing at them, “They killed him.”

“What the- killed who?” Trent stepped forward, “Oh please, Parker is the one who hit Brandon over the head. They’re the reason he’s dead.” Matt looked at them all confused, “Brandon is in here, he hit his head or something and we found him stuffed in a suitcase. Are you guys okay?” The three looked at each other before looking into the office, to see Brandon with ice on his head.

Parker shook her head, peeved looked on her face before walking away, “Man what the fu-”

This ain’t water

Private Party and Bri were walking backstage, laughing and joking around when they bumped into Nick Jackson. “Oh, Nick! This is our friend Bri.” Marq said in a happy tone. Bri held up her hand, “Hi, nice to meet you.” Nick looked awkward before shaking her hand. Isiah smacked his lips, “Man why you being rude? We’re just tryna introduce y’all.”

Nick put up his hand, “Look you seem nice and all, but I’m not interested.” “What are- why wouldn’t you hang with all this.” Marq said, motioning towards Brianna. “I don’t need to ‘hang’ with all that.” Isiah rolled his eyes and groaned, “Why you bein difficult?”

“I don’t need Bri. I’m fine.” Nick said, sounding annoyed. “Oh you don’t need Bri, that’s a funny joke. Come on.” “I already said no, I don’t need another girl in my life.” Marq laughed, “It’s not a big deal, just another friend you know?” “I’m not gonna say no again.”

Isiah laughed, “Yeah,” got close to the camera, “he actin like he don’t got other friends.” Bri laughed at Marq and Isiah overreacting when Nick was clearly getting angry, “You think I’m not being serious?” “Nah.” Bri said through her laughter.

“I’m DEADASS.” A loud noise played while the trio flew back, Isiah on the floor, Marq staying still and Bri trying to support herself on the wall.

Marq grabbed Brianna’s arm, “I guess people don’t like making friends nowadays.” They turned to walk away when they bumped into Matt Jackson, the trio shook their heads, scared of what's gonna happen next.

Their fears became a reality when Matt (does whatever he does ?????) and they all flew back again. Bri stomped her foot and turned away, “Man I can’t believe this!”

Join The Dark Order

The friends, talking about their day on BTE, sat at a table in catering, all with different expressions. “Gabby, I still don’t know how YOU ended up being Adam’s drinking buddy.” Bri questioned. Gabby shrugged, “Okay but at least Nick didn’t think that I was about to get set up with him.” The two went back and forth about it before they turned towards Parker, “What did you do today Parker?” Gab asked, curious why her friend was quiet for once.

Parker shuddered, “I don’t wanna talk about it.” “Why? Did-” The girl went silent when Alex Reynolds and John Silver approached, Kool-Aid and water in hand. “Ladies,” Alex motioned towards Bri and Gabby, “Non-Binary friend,” he motioned towards Parker, “how are you doing today?” Parker and Gabby rolled their eyes and sighed while Bri spoke up, “What do you guys want?”

John clapped his hands once, “Let’s get things straight, we want you three in the Dark Order.”

“No.” “Nope.” “Absolutely not.”

“Just hear us out, hear us out.” “We’re not joining a cult.” Gabby spoke up. She looked towards Bri, who looked tempted to do so. “Bri!” “What? I mean, it’s grape Kool-Aid, right?” Parker slapped their hand against their forehead, “Bri I swear to God if you drink that mess I’m gonna smack the hoe outta you.”

The three started arguing when Alex and John calmed them down. “Look all you have to do,” Alex said, pouring Kool-Aid in the three cups of water, “is drink the Kool-Aid.”

The three friends looked disgusted, “What. The Fuck. Is this?” Gabby said, grabbing the cup and looking into it. Bri shot a glare at the two, “Are you trying to poison us?”

“No! We got Griff Garrison to drink it.” John spoke, trying to get the point across. “Who the hell is Griff Garrison?!” Parker questioned, confused.

Gabby put her hand up to calm down Parker, “Okay okay listen, there ain’t no way we’re joining your stupid cult.” “Cause one, there ain’t no sugar.” Bri said, adding on. “Too much water.” Parker said, attitude in their voice. “And you didn’t even mix it up.” Gabby said, sounding disappointed.

“Wait wait wait!” John and Alex yelled as Parker and Gabby got up and walked away. Bri looked behind her and sighed, grabbing her Kool-Aid anyway and walking with her friends. “Damnit Bri!” Parker said offscreen, throwing the cup back at Alex.

John slapped his hands against the table, “Goddamnit!” “This is why Brodie always throws paper at you!” The men walked off, arguing.

“Hey, did you like that video? Click the screen for more.”

What Nick you’re not gonna sing it all with me this time?”

Gabby, Bri and Parker were hanging out in the hallway, laughing about their bits they filmed. It all stopped when Nick came up to them, congratulating them and telling them how great the bits turned out. He also told them that the people they had filmed with invited them out for drinks. They all agreed and got their stuff ready, waiting outside for the Uber the three of them ordered.

“Are you guys excited?” Parker asked, clearly nervous. Gabby nodded, shaking. “Oh you bet I’m excited.” Bri said, that certain tone in her voice. “Bri don’t scare Isiah and Marq off with your flirting.” Gabby said, a bit of a chuckle in her voice. “To be fair, Marq was flirting back earlier.”

Gabby and Parker started teasing Bri, who was already tired of it, when their Uber had pulled up, they pulled their masks over their face and climbed in the car, light conversation the whole way.

When everyone arrived they all broke off into groups, with the people they had filmed BTE with earlier today. “Let me get two Jack Daniels please.” Adam said, already a bit drunk from earlier. Gabby smiled at him, Adam with his hair pulled back and round glasses on was attractive to her. “So tell me about yourself, cowboy.” Gabby said, curious about his answer. “Have you not read my twitter bio? I’m an anxious millennial cowboy. That’s all anyone needs to know.” Adam said, swallowing down his drink faster than earlier.

“Anxious huh? I suffer from anxiety so I’m sure you have an understanding of it.” Gabby said, taking a sip of her drink, but not as big as Adam’s. The two started to talk about their anxiousness and anxiety, then speaking on their mental health issues. They were both drinking heavy and in about 40 minutes were drunk. They were like each other’s therapist in that moment.

That’s when out of nowhere Adam leaned in for a kiss. Gabby didn’t push away from it. Adam made his way to Gabby’s thighs, grabbing them then pulling her in closer. That’s when they both heard a voice, one that as soon as she heard it she knew who it was.

“Hey Gab-E, can I borrow a 20 so I don’t have to use my credit ca-.” Parker looked up from her phone and stopped when she saw the scene in front of her. “Oh my God Park-er what do you want?!” Parker stifled their laughter, “Well, I needed a 20, cause I didn’t want to use my credit card for a tip later, but it’s fine, I’ll uh, go to an ATM.” Gabby groaned and rolled her eyes dramatically, “Adam, this is my friend, Parker.” Adam just waved and Parker returned it, “I’ll uh, just go back to hanging out with Chuck and them.” “Yeah, you do that.” Gabby spat.

Parker turned and walked a few feet when she turned back around, “Oh, and make sure you use a condom.” “God Parker go!” Gabby yelled, and Parker walked away, laughing.

Gabby let out a sigh, “I can’t believe that bitch”. “It’s ok, now where were we again-” Adam said, licking his bottom lip, looking Gabby up and down. “I don’t know if I can continue after that, cowboy.” Gabby shook her head no, letting out a soft smile. “I love your smile, it’s cute.” Adam tilted her head up towards him, placing a soft kiss on her lips. “You know, I don’t know what it is Gabby, but something about you and me just click. And I know we’ve only known each other for less than a whole day but I really like you.” Adam looked down with a smile on his face, blushing at the fact that after one day he’d catch feeling.

“Me too Adam, fuck. It’s nice having someone that understands you and can drink with you. Plus you’re” she stopped herself in the middle of her words to let out a silent sigh. “You’re attractive, and nice, and I feel like this will be more than a one night thing”. Adam signaled his hands for Gabby to come closer, which she did. She sat on his lap, digging her face into his shoulder. “I’m gonna follow you on Instagram, you're more than Joey's friend now.” Adam whispered, hugging her tighter. Gabby laughed the comment off while still in Adam’s hold. She released her head from his shoulder, placing a kiss on his forehead.

“Well then cowboy, I’m already hooked to you so there’s no way out.” Gabby smiled. Adam smiled back at her, letting her go out of his hold.

Across the bar sat Parker and the Best Friends, laughing and acting stupid. “I’m serious! I didn’t actually expect you to retweet it James.” They were talking about one of Parker’s tweets, with them in Orange Cassidy cosplay and makeup. “We all thought it looked great, what do you mean?” Trent asked, genuinely curious. Parker took a swig of her drink before answering, it’s just, I try getting noticed by you guys a lot. I literally nicknamed myself ‘Chuck Taylor Thot’.”

Chuck, hearing that, spat out his drink with laughter, “What?!” She hid her face in her hands embarrassed, “It’s not funny.” “Sure, totally not, at all.” James said, stifling his laughter. “You guys wanna go play darts or something?” Trent asked. Parker shook their head, “You guys go ahead, I suck at that stuff.” James and Trent just shrugged and slid out the booth. Parker looked next to her, “You’re not going to play?” Chuck shook his head, “Last time I played darts with them I got one stuck in my foot.”

Parker laughed, imagining all them freaking out about it. “What’s so funny?” She put on a straight face, “Nothing, nothing.” He shrugged it off, “So I’m sure that you know a lot about me, so tell me about you.”

She rolled her eyes at that joke in the beginning before she thought for a second, “Well uh, I’m in my early twenties, I met Gabby and Bri a few years ago and uh, I don’t know what else is that important.” “That’s nice and all but I’ve been around you all day, c’mon, I know you aren’t lame.”

She sighed before really thinking what she could say about herself, “Umm, I’ve been a wrestling fan most of my life, I used to actually hate AEW, then it easily became one of the most important parts of my life and every time I see you wearing a Pacer’s shirt I freak out because you’re repping MY state.” Chuck looked towards Parker, “You’re from Indiana?” She nodded, “You were born in the wrong state.”

“No way, Kentucky for the win, plus Indiana Gentleman just sounds stupid.” “Kentucky Gentleman sounds like a douchebag.”

“Oh shut up!” The two just laughed. When they both stopped they just looked at each other, smiles on their faces. Out of nowhere he started looking closer at them. They started touching around their mouth, “What? Do I have something on my face?” He didn’t answer before he asked a question with an obvious answer, “You have freckles?”

Parker felt her face get hot when she just nodded, “Yeah, I realize they’re not as cute as other people’s but-” “I think they’re adorable.” Parker just sat there, mouth hanging open like an idiot. She shook her head when she realized she was just sitting there, “Um, uh...thank you.”

He just smiled before saying, “You’re really cool Parker. I think I might want to get to know you better.” She couldn’t even say anything and just sat there, smiling. He realized she was too awkward to say anything, so he just wrapped his arm around her shoulder, turning them towards Trent and James, arguing over who’s turn it was. She laid her head on his shoulder, watching the funny scene across from them.

A few tables over were Bri and Private Party, which despite all their energy, was pretty chill. “Okay Bri I see you with them nails.” Marq said, complimenting Bri’s nails which were blue and pink, just like Private Party’s merch. Bri smiled, modelling her hand. Isiah looked over towards the entrance when a girl walked in, he looked towards Bri and Marq, who were nodding for him to go. He jumped up out of the booth and over to the girl who walked in.

Bri and Marq turned towards each other, smiling. “I got a question.” Bri said, nervousness in her voice. He nodded his head, “Do you think I’m too, y’know, flirty?” Marq put his drink down and looked towards Brianna, like she just said something stupid. “Of course not, why you think I’ve been flirting back all day?” Bri smiled at his answer, when they started to move closer to each other, so close that their lips were almost touching, when Bri suddenly stopped and turned away, throwing up all over the floor.

“Oh shit!” Parker yelled, grabbing her jacket and sliding out the booth. She yelled for Gabby and motioned for her. They both ran towards Bri, Gabby grabbed Brianna’s purse and jacket while Parker kept her hair out her face. Parker turned towards Marq, “Sorry, this happens whenever we meet up.” Marq just nodded, “Alright, I’ll text you Bri, feel better.”

Parker turned towards Gabby, “Did you order the-” “It’ll be here in 2 minutes.” They walked towards the exit, they were halfway out the door when Chuck yelled, “Wait Parker I never I got your-” The door shut, “Number.”

Their ride was there quickly, and they climbed in the backseat, starting their ride to their hotel. “Bri I told you to stop drinking so much when you’re in a random place!” Gabby yelled. Bri just shrugged. Parker wanted to lecture Bri as well when she got a notification. The girls looked over at her, “Is it from Chuck?” Gabby asked.

“No...it’s from Nick. He wants us back next week.”

Come back for part 2! Coming out soon!

Can you please do a blurb where Daniel and Florence and the girls go to Disneyland or an amusement park or something!

I love this idea omg thank you! I think this turned out as one of my favourites!! I was going to do Disneyland but I’ve never been so I won’t be able to write accurately but I will take this lovely idea and write it more local...

As usual, I had an inspo photo... (minus the baby powder obviously lol)

Canada’s Wonderland was the place for good adventures for any age group. When Daniel moved to Toronto for school, he and his friends visited the theme park a few times (until their money ran out and they were stuck eating ramen for a week before the got another set of paycheques), so when the girls were old enough, Daniel made sure the family could go themselves. The girls had never been to a theme park before – even Clementine who was already nine-and-a-half – so when summer came around, Daniel and Florence dug into their entertainment savings to take the girls out for a day.

It was a 45 minute drive north to the park, the girls in the backseat dressed in shorts and t-shirts with little ball-caps on their tied back hair, running shoes swinging back and forth with excitement and they all sang along messily to the music through the speakers. Daniel paid for parking and they found an empty spot way too far away from the entrance, but it was to be expected on a weekend in July. The girls were slathered with sunscreen by Daniel, as Florence took the wagon from the trunk and stocked it with water bottles and the backpack full of supplies they might need for the day. Lucy climbed right in excitedly, her tiny sunglasses perched on her nose and Florence buckled her in.

They waited in line a while to get through security check and get the girls’ bracelets so they knew what rides they could go on based on their height for safety. Penelope and Lucy sat in the wagon together, looking around the park at the waterfall and huge (man-made) mountain at the end of the reflecting pool that was shooting water in fancy twirls.

“Where are we gong first?” Clementine asked, skipping to get ahead with her hand in Florence’s to try and pull her along faster.

“We’ll start small, okay?” Daniel chuckled at her excitement, pulling the wagon behind him.

They made their way across the crowded park to the kids’ area. Penelope stuck in the wagon at first, watching her sisters go from little ride to little ride (Lucy going on the tiny airplanes twice because she loved it so much). Daniel and Florence took turns going with the girls and staying with the wagon. Penelope finally let Daniel convince her to go on the merry-go-round with him and she absolutely loved sitting on the metal horse beside his own, watching the world spin around them. That was sort of her gateway and she tried a few other little things around the park before lunch.

They all stopped for slices of pizza (which cost a ridiculous amount of money), the outdoor fans not doing much against the summer heat and Daniel ended up fanning the girls with his paper plate to try and cool them down as they ate.

“Why don’t we look at other rides?” Clementine suggested. “The kid rides are boring.”

“We can see what else is around.” Florence agreed, passing her a napkin to wipe her face.

“Bored already, are you, angel?” Daniel chuckled.

“I want to go on the biggest roller coaster!” Clementine said loudly.

“I don’t know if you’re tall enough.” Daniel said. Clementine frowned at him.

When lunch finished, the family left the kids’ zone and found slightly bigger rides for the older two girls to try. The roller coaster through the mountain was a hit for Clementine but the lights and the screams as the ride went into the dark were not fun for Penelope and she came off crying and clinging onto Daniel, embarrassed as strangers stared at her.

“It wasn’t scary, Nell.” Clementine tried to reason with her sister as she walked beside them, Penelope’s face buried in Daniel’s neck. “It was just a pretend dragon.”

“There was a dragon?” Penelope’s head shot up with fear in her eyes.

“Okay, go run to Mommy.” Daniel nudged Clementine ahead of them and she took off across the walkway to where Florence was waiting with the wagon and Lucy. When the family was back together, Daniel set Penelope in the wagon as she was almost eight and was getting a bit big to be carried for long, and he pet her sweaty hair back from her face and handed her a water bottle, “Just take a bit of a breather, okay, bug?”

Penelope nodded, taking the water from him and took a small sip, wiping her eyes with her free hand.

Daniel stood up and slid an arm around Florence’s shoulders, “No more pushing limits today.”

“I agree.” Florence chuckled lightly, glancing back at their middle daughter with the drying tears on her flushed cheeks.

Of course, that didn’t last for long as they passed the biggest roller coaster in the park and Clementine was screaming, “That one! I wanna ride this one!”

“That one is way too big, Clemmy.” Florence said.

“No, it’s not! I have the teal bracelet and the sign says teal bracelet and the orange bracelet can ride!” Clementine pointed to the sign at the entrance to the queue. She whipped back around to her parents. “Please, can I go?!”

“I don’t know, angel. Why don’t we work our way up to it?” Daniel suggested, biting lightly at his bottom lip as he stared up at the copper coloured metal track that reached into the sky and dipped down into a 90-degree free fall.

“No! Daddy, please!” Clementine begged, wrapping her hands around his arm.

“I think it’s Mommy’s turn to take you.” Daniel looked to Florence.

“I can’t; I just had a baby.” Florence shrugged, gesturing to Lucy.

“Four years ago.” Daniel gaped.

“I can go by myself!” Clementine suggested.

“No!” both parents said quickly.

“This one goes upside down, you know that, right?” Daniel asked his daughter.

“Yes!” Clementine grabbed his hand in both of hers and tried to pull him towards the lineup. “Please, Daddy! Please!”

Daniel closed his eyes a moment and groaned, “Okay, fine.”

“Yay!” Clementine took off into the queue, leaving Daniel to take off his baseball hat and hand it to his wife.

“If I never see you again, I love you.” Daniel whispered, kissing her once.

“Have fun.” Florence chuckled, tucking her finger in the collar of his black tank top and pulled him in for one more kiss.

“Daddy!” Clementine shrieked.

“Coming, angel.” Daniel called back, rushing after her to line up, ruffling a hand through his hair that had been matted down by his hat. It was about a thirty-minute wait; the entire time with Daniel spent making himself more and more nervous. He hated holding in emotions in front of his daughters, but he didn’t want Clementine to think that he wasn’t as brave as she was…not to mention as brave as the other older dads around them that seemed completely calm.

Thankfully, they didn’t get the front seat and they were stuck in the middle which was perfectly fine with Daniel. He made sure Clementine was properly buckled in (twice) and checked himself a couple times too even before the worker came by to do the official check of the seatbelts and restraints. Clementine looked so small behind the over the shoulder restraints and Daniel could only pray that he wasn’t being a terrible father by letting her do this.

Soon, the train was given the go ahead and they took off towards the hill. Daniel kept glancing at Clementine on his left, her legs kicking excitedly as they dangled over the track, trying to keep himself as still as humanly possible. Now Daniel wasn’t scared of much, he wasn’t even overly scared of roller coasters either, but this 90-degree angle and the longest, fastest, tallest roller coaster in the world that did not sit right with him.

The train reached the top of the hill and paused, dangling over the side for a moment.

“Oh gosh, Clementine-” Daniel whispered shakily, barely finishing his sentence before they went over the edge. The nine-year-old was screaming at the top of her lungs and Daniel was honestly right there with her, saying a few words he was not proud of when they hit the loops.

By the time the ride stopped and they got out at the station, Daniel was a mess, trying to stabilize his legs, but Clementine was laughing loudly and running ahead to their family. With Florence and her sisters in sight, Clementine took off faster towards them.

“Daddy said a bad word!” Clementine shrieked with laughter as she reached her mother. “He said lots of bad words!”

Florence looked up to her husband who was nearly wobbling out of the exit gate, looking a bit shaky and pale. He trudged over to them and draped himself over Florence with a groan.

“Wow. Such a good dad.” Florence smiled, running a hand through his sweaty hair.

“Daddy! That was so fun! Let’s go again!” Clementine tugged at his shirt.

“No, no.” Daniel waved her off gently as Florence draped his hat on his head again. “We’re going back to Lucy’s rides now, angel.”

“Ok, you can do that and I’ll stay here!” Clementine suggested.

“Clementine Ophelia, you’re going to give your father a heart attack.” Florence laughed. “Come on, we’ll all go share a funnel cake.”

By the time the day was over, Daniel finally felt a bit better and Clementine humoured him with less excessive roller coasters to fill their time. The park had nightly fireworks so they sat by the waterfall and watched the show as darkness fell. Lucy slept against Daniel’s shoulder as they headed back to the car, Penelope and Clementine waving their glowsticks around like they were wands, high on all the sugar they had during the day.

But the car ride brought silence, all three girls falling asleep in the backseat on the drive back to the city, Florence and Daniel listening to music quietly together in the front, hand in hand. Daniel glanced in the rear-view mirror at his daughters and then looked over his shoulder to look again at their peaceful sleeping faces before smiling over at Florence and raised her hand to his lips to press a kiss to her soft skin.

Tag Game: 11 questions

Thank you for tagging me @bookschocolatesworld!! :)

Rules: Answer the questions and create your own eleven questions.

1. A book that you want everyone to read?

OMG. There are too many. There isn’t an specific one. I would say it would have to be one that changes their lives, the kind of books that you get so into you fell just fall in love with reading. Also the kind of books you just can’t get out of your mind and stay in your heart forever.

2. Your favourite dessert?

ice cream and brownies, but when it’s fall I LOVE pumpkin pie

3. If you had children, what would you name them/some names you find beautiful?

omg. this is a hard one. it really depends on the last name of my partner tbh. But I really like Valentina, Daniel,

4. What are your biggest fear/s?

screwing up my life

5. Do you believe in love at first sight?

I’m a HUGE romantic, but I don’t believe in love at first sight. I believe in attraction at first sight tho. But it’s impossible for someone to fall in love with someone without knowing anything about them.

6. What do you want to be when you grow up/what do you work as?

I’m going to study gastronomy and I want to have my own café

7. What is your favourite movie, and why?

There are a lot. I love almost every Disney movie (I even know almost every Disney song). But I’m in love with “Love, Rosie”, “Ferris Bueller Day Off” and TATBILB

8. Favourite song/s right now?

Well this is a hard one. It would have to be between “Thru these tears” by LANY, “Cherry Wine” by Hozier, or “Animal” by Troye Sivan

9. Describe your dream house in 3 sentences?

It must have a great view, bright with light and lovely decorated, it also must smell really good all the time. It must have enough space for everything, even my own library and every extra we want. Also, it must be filled with love.

10. Explain why you love someone (like you can think of a specific person, or just generally why you love those you love)?

There are plenty of factors, and everyone I love are soo different from each other. But I would say they are positive, people who don’t make you feel bad or make a situation feel worst than it is. They have a brightness in their eyes, and a smile that makes me smile too. Kind people who would never make someone feel bad about themselves consciously. They are simply the kind of persons who I can call whenever I need it and will always be there for me no matter what. There are too many factors tbh.

11. One of your best and worst memories?

There are so many good memories. This year has been full of it (as well as bad ones), so it is really hard to choose. Last weekend I went to an activity with a lot of people of my church, I got to meet new people and laughed so much and people even told me that they had never seen me so happy before. Also, I got to meet this guy who was dreamy and damn, only God know what will happen now that we are back to reality. Now, for the bad one, I would have to say when my mum was hospitalized and I almost lost her.

Now, my questions:

1. What is your favourite season and why?

2. If you had the opportunity to switch life with anyone else, would you do it?

3. If you could have any talent, which one would you choose?

4. Have you ever been in love?

5. One of your favourite memories

6. If you could give an advice to anyone, which one would it be?

7. Which is the thing that you most love about yourself?

8. When looking for a partner, which characteristic is the most important for you? (you can choose more that one)

9. Favourite kind of book genre

10. Favourite names

11. Favourite words

I tag: @infinitebookwrms

Randy Savage Unreleased: The Unseen Matches of the Macho Man

youtube

Freak out, freak out, oh yeahhhhh…..sorry I could not resist, but kicking off an entry with that iconic catchphrase means it is time to cover a Macho Man home video collection. In 2018 WWE gave Macho Man the ‘Unreleased’ DVD treatment, a line of several DVD match collections containing entirely never before released on home video matches. I already covered one on here several months ago dedicated to Hulk Hogan, so it would only seem appropriate to cover another one dedicated to his Mega Powers partner, Randy Savage. Like the Hogan DVD, it has a gratuitously long title in the form of Randy Savage Unreleased: The Unseen Matches of the Macho Man (trailer). If you are into these ‘Unreleased’ sets, then check back here later this year as there are two other semi-recent installments I plan on knocking out by the end of this year. Randy Savage Unreleased is jacked with content at three discs tallying up nine hours of material. There is a total of 41 (!!) matches and 9 promos spanning Macho’s career in WWF and WCW from 1985 through 1999. Also interspersed every several matches is one of 10 newly recorded panel discussion segments with Corey Graves, Bayley, Sean Mooney and Diamond Dallas Page. The panel discussions are not throwaway one-to-minute quick takes, but instead each are nearly several minutes each where all four panelists reminisce about each stage of Macho’s career with Mooney and Page both having pivotal on-hand accounts for how Savage was at that point backstage too. Page has detailed memories of his classic WCW rivalry with Randy and recounts a story I was all ears for about a voice mail he left for Macho on Thanksgiving. Hearing Bayley’s love for Randy was an interesting perspective to take in since she states she was not aware of him until his WCW years. Corey Graves’ passion for the 1993-as-hell Macho Man rap music video rubbed off on me as I never saw it before this collection and I will link to it here so you can have it forever imprinted into your mind as well.

Obviously I am not going to dissect each and every one of the 41 matches included here, but I will point out some highlights. In general, the quality of matches is fairly solid, and even though a fair amount of the first nine matches are in Macho’s early years with mostly quick, dominant encounters they were still a delight to watch his character evolve from coming out with a cape to adding in his vintage 80s bandana and ring robe and seeing his then-wife Miss Elizabeth join his side. Some early things that caught my eye were Macho’s first TV match in June of 1985 against Aldo Marino where the hype of Randy being the ‘hottest free agent’ attracted all of WWF’s managers to ringside to scout him in action. One of Jesse Ventura’s few WWF matches is here where he tags with Macho Man shortly before he succumbed to a career-ending injury not too long after signing with the WWF. I dug Savage’s first matches on here against formidable competition like former tag champ and Mark Henry manager, Tony Atlas and unearthing a high quality 1986 WWF match against the hidden gem of 80s WWF enhancement talent in one Scott McGhee. When it shifts into his Intercontinental title run, there is a good rematch included with Ricky Steamboat that had a red hot crowd and countless near falls and another good match against Steamboat where he teamed up with Honky Tonk Man against Steamboat and Hogan. His WWF Title run era features must-see WrestleMania-rematches against Ted Dibiase and Hulk Hogan.

Of all of Randy Savage’s flamboyant ring attires, the one I fondly remember the most was his over-the-top cowboy hat and full body attire complete with tassels. I had no idea until going through this collection that he started rocking that classic look midway through his two year run as the ‘Macho King’ with Queen Sherri by his side. The only notable match in this collection from that run is another WrestleMania-rematch with the mixed tag bout with Macho King and Sherri against Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire. There are nearly a dozen matches from Savage’s final few years in WWF after his reinstatement, but only three truly standout. One is a unique trios pairing that has Randy teaming with Piper and Jim Duggan against Ric Flair, Undertaker and Jake the Snake, while the other is another tag bout with Randy teaming with the Dead Man to take on Ric Flair and Berzerker. Seeing the chemistry between Savage and Undertaker was something special to say the least. Lastly, Savage has a heck of a bout with a post-Red Rooster, Terry Taylor in one of the better technical matches on the set. There are a few key WCW matches to point out in here from the eight included. One is where he is part of the teaming with the Hulkster against the Dungeon of Doom and hitting all the classic Mega Powers spots, including hitting an elbow on Hogan to wake him up after he succumbed to a sleeperhold. There is an awesome Nitro match on here against Ric Flair…which has a cruddy finish unfortunately, but everything else leading up to it is the best wrestling in this entire set. The most peculiar match on here is Savage wrestling on a C-tier weekend morning WCW show, {Pro} where he takes on Kurasawa and has Hulk Hogan by his side too in a strange twist. I am guessing Savage and Hogan must be tight with Kurasawa because these two were making huge money for limited dates in WCW and to have both of them appear in this weekend morning show match is a head scratcher…..it would be kind of like tuning in to Main Event now and seeing Brock Lesnar wrestling. The final match in the set was a surprisingly delightful schmoz of a mixed tag match with Savage and Madusa teaming up with Ric Flair and “Lil Naitch” himself, Charles Robinson! I expected the worst going in considering this was in 19990 when WCW was beginning its downward ratings spiral in its last couple years, but the four pull off a lot of entertaining spots and salvaged a heck of a performance.

Randy Savage Unreleased is a fairly strong compilation of matches and promos from Macho Man. I would say about a third of it is skippable, and there are a few teases of intriguing match-ups that wrapped up far too quick thanks to poor booking, like a WCW contest against Curt Hennig for example. I have no idea why there were two ho-hum matches against Mr. Hughes included either. That is almost to be expected of these ‘Unreleased’ collections, and seeing Savage’s character, moveset, attire and personality evolve from beginning to end is also fascinating in and of itself. I am glad we got a fair smattering of vintage Macho Man promos throughout his career, with his campaigning reinstatement speech and the aforementioned music video standing out the most of the bunch. Having a break from the 41 matches with the occasional promo and panel discussion segments are appreciated breathers from the action, and the panelists all bring a lot of classic Macho Man stories and memories to the table. This all adds up to Randy Savage Unreleased: The Unseen Matches of the Macho Man being a must-see for any Randy Savage aficionado.

Creator’s update #1

Hey guys! So I’ve decided to start actually blogging on this blog and tell a bit about the various things I’m working on, share WIPs, music I’ve been digging recently etc. I realise that I rarely post anything, so it seems like I’m super inactive - which is totally not true, I just have so much stuff going on and take a long time to finish things, and I’m also pretty picky about what I put up online lol! For the sake of keeping those of you interested in the loop, I’m gonna start this series of creator’s updates in which I’ll update y’all on the progress I’ve made on my various creative projects. The goal is to give an update a few times a month (hopefully lol)!

This past while I’ve been super inactive in the writing department, but very much productive in the art department, so my writing update will be mostly a summary of what I’ve been doing the past few years up until this point.

Mood: Feelin’ real good cuz my parents finally brought my comfy double bed over from my mum’s place this past weekend, which means no more sleeping on the couch yaaaaaas.

Music I’ve been digging recently:

Skye Sweetnam - Boyhunter So, the other day I randomly listened to this song on my way home from work, and I totally realised that Skye Sweetnam is the perfect voice for my character Caitlyn, and this song totally embodies what Caitlyn is all about lmaoooo. (The song isn’t very accurate to the time period Caitlyn lives in, but it’s super accurate to her character essence and personality, and I just find that so lit hahahah)

Fallulah - Out of It This song is basically my MC’s theme song?? It’s performed by a Danish artist and was super popular in Denmark a few years back as it was the theme tune to a Danish tv show (a show I loved!). The lyrics are just so Daniel, it’s not even funny. It mostly fits his mental state at the beginning of Renaissance.

Girl’s Day - Love Again Ugh I just love the tune of this song so much, I can’t really place my finger on it, the emotion is just so great. I love the guitar riff especially, and Girl’s Day is a four member girl group, so it’s one of those songs where I can imagine my main girls Annaliese, Caitlyn, Mary and Serena singing as each member lmao.

Nine Muses - Remember Another four member group now, this song is also one where I can imagine my main girls singing each member’s part lmao, and having that aspect to a song always makes it a little better for me! Forreal tho, this new release from Nine Muses slays, and we all know it. The music video haunts me.

Sistar - Lonely This song makes me sad and happy all at once, cuz I’m not ready to say goodbye to Sistar, but at the same time this ending is probably the best one any fan could’ve wished for because there was no drama or anger, just well wishes and hope for the future. I know these girls will go far, and this song just pulls at all my heart strings man. The melody of the bridge and chorus, Dasom and Soyu’s parts in particular, really works for me. And yeah, Sistar has four members too, and once again I can picture my main girls singing as each member lmao. It’s a thing I have, okay?

Moana OST - We Know The Way + Know Who You Are I recently watched this movie, and while I sorta felt like the plot was a bit rushed and tropey in many ways, I totally adored the visuals and the MUSIC OMG. These two songs are my favourite, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s vocals never miss, and Auli’i Cravalho’s high note is gorgeous! Also dat choir in the background tho, and in context with the movie scene that song just makes me irrationally emotional mkay. (That ending was the best twist ever, it definitely lifted the story up a notch for me!)

Writing

So I’m writing a book! You might have seen me mention it a few times already on here, but I’ve not really shared much insight into my process or what sort of book this actually is (other than talking about characters here and there), and as I’ve not been making huge progress lately (I’m in an art state of mind duuuh), I thought that I’d keep this section short and sweet, with a bit of an introduction into what my book project is all about.

I call it a book project because I don’t feel comfortable just calling it a book when I don’t have rights to publish. Technically my book is a fanfiction based on the horror video game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and as such I don’t own copyright of the small percentage of my story that features the canon elements. However, I take this as seriously as anyone else would writing their own book, because I’ve poured my entire heart and soul into it, and the vast majority of the content (plot, characters and world) is my original creation. It’s my own little big project lol!

You might be familiar with the game, and even if you aren’t, that’s not a prerequisite for reading my book since everything is introduced and set up just as in any regular book. The protagonist is an Englishman named Daniel, and we know little of his past through the game. I won’t go into too much detail on what the game is about (if you really wanna know, you can look it up), but the point of my book is to explore the protagonist’s life from his childhood up to the events of the game and beyond, and afterwards connect his story to the game sequels featuring other protagonists within the same universe. It’s a bit complex and elaborate, which is just the way I like it!

As the games are set at various points during the Victorian era (game #1 is set in Prussia 1839, game #2 is set in France 1858, and game #3 is set in England 1899), you can probably guess that the entire thing will be pretty long. That’s why I’m making it a series! I have at least seven books planned so far (though there’ll definitely be more, since I’m not near the end of the timeline I need to cover yet), and I currently have the first book written and am writing the sequel - however, the first book will need a complete rewrite once I’m finished with book #2, because I’ve since developed and changed a lot of stuff, and I have many new interesting ideas for a more fleshed out version of the first book. Still, the fanfic version is available online, so if you’d like to read it, you can find it here. You’ll get a pretty good idea of the general story and the characters, but keep in mind that it’s super outdated and will be very different after my rewrite!

For reference, this is the list of books that I’ve planned (and titled) so far, so you can keep up with what book of my series I’m talking about at any given point:

I - Amnesia: Memoirs

II - Amnesia: Renaissance

III - Amnesia: Voyage

IV - Amnesia: Noir

V - Amnesia: Encore

VI - Amnesia: Rogue

So what I’m doing right now with this project is revisions. Uuuuggghhhhh. Yes, that’s right, I’m stuck in revision hell. I’ve not even finished the first draft of Renaissance yet (I know, sacrilege, writing blasphemy, don’t start your damn edits until you’ve finished your draft dumbass), but I had some pretty major changes to make, changes so big that it would be a waste of time and effort to go on drafting without implementing them first. Mainly the changes are surrounding 1) a change of ages of my main cast (I aged many characters up a few years), and 2) changing and figuring out the specifics of the illness which my MC’s sister, Hazel, is afflicted with. She’s not such a major character in Renaissance, but she plays a big role in Memoirs, and since I had all these new ideas for the rewrite of that, I wanted to implement the ripple effects in the second book so it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to edit later when Renaissance is a finished 3-400k first draft lmao (I have a lot of words okay?). These changes mostly affect the early chapters of my book - chapters I wrote about three years ago, which means that these early chapters really need a face-lift. In addition to the age and illness change, I wanna revise the first five chapters by cutting the fluff and tightening up the beginning so we get to the action a tiny bit faster. Adding to the fact that these early chapters are three years old, the prose also needs an almost complete rewrite. So long story short, all of the edits are taking a long ass time, and I’m not having a good time lmao. Doesn’t help that I had to stop drafting right at one of the juiciest scenes in my book?!?!? (that’s a lie, it gets juicier, but I was just getting to the real good stuff yanno?)

(Side note: for someone who said that I’d keep this short, it sure turned out long lmao. I just have too many damn words.)

Chapters edited: 2/16 (working on 3 right now and it’s an effin’ pain)

Current total word count: 120,591

Current total chapter count: 17 (the number will go down to 16 once I finish the revisions, as I’m merging two chapters)

Look at all the dumb shit I still have to edit for chapter 3. Look at it.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Art

Man, I’ve been doing a lot of artwork recently, and by a lot, I don’t mean that I’ve finished any.

I think I’ve been focused on developing my actual drawing skills rather than making finished illustrations, because I’ve been so overwhelmed with inspiration and I’ve wanted to try out drawing a bunch of different motives, so my mind is on a lot of different art projects at once, and I’m making baby steps of progress on each of them because I just wanna do everything lmao. I should probably take a step back and settle on one thing at a time, but at the same time, I feel like this is working for me because I’m so inspired and motivated and super excited for every single art piece; I don’t feel myself losing interest in any of them, in fact I just feel like my switching between different artworks keeps every piece fresh and interesting for me, yanno?

So here’s one thing that I’ve been slowly chipping away at for the past few months. I’m drawing a full body group picture of my main cast from Renaissance!

I’ve drawn the anatomy sketches of all the male characters (though I’m debating whether I should add some others), and now I’m adding the female characters one by one, so these are not all of the characters yet. But man, I just love seeing the characters side by side? The variety in their body language, body types and heights is just so interesting to look at, and it’ll be even better once I get around to actually adding their facial features, expressions, hair, attire, and then colouring them as well omg! I’m a sucker for this kind of thing, blame it on @juliajm15 and her amazing diverse character designs.

It’s gonna be a huge picture with a lot of characters, and I’m stoked for it!! This is a piece which I hope I’ll be able to show ya’ll the progress of bit by bit in every few updates. (also, if you feel somewhat familiar with some of my characters, you’re welcome to make guesses at who’s who (; )

Another project I’m working on is making official character portraits of my main cast (and possibly minor characters as well). I just think it’s nice to have official portraits as reference for anyone who’d like to see what the characters look like, and also for myself for whenever I need to refresh the specific features and expression of each character. It’s just a nice thing that satiates my very Type A personality lmao!

So the characters above are Owen Wright (to the left) , Daniel’s puppy bff with the fluffy hair, and then from left to right I’m colouring the portraits of the Armstrong siblings: Caleb, Caitlyn and Tristan. Their dad is a duke! n.n Caleb is the oldest, Caitlyn the youngest, and Tristan is the bland middle child. He’s a little brat LOL but I still love him.

Also, due to this glorious reference I found, I finally figured out how to draw Daniel. Bless this model, I never knew I wanted Daniel to have big puffy lips, but apparently I do.

He looks actually nice now? Which is nice? I’m amazed. Also his hair? I can never draw his hair, but this looks nice so yay? Also, I dunno why I never draw clothes on him, I guess I’m just lazy lol, but he’s gonna need to wear clothes for the official character portrait soooo... That’s a thing I’m gonna have to do.

Now that I’ve figured out his features, it’s gonna be fun to remodel all his family members accordingly. I sense that he’ll have gotten those cute puffy lips from his mum meheheheh.

I also did some Disney fanart of my two favourite Disney ladies; Esmeralda and Kida <3

I actually never really draw fanart any more, it’s been yeeeaaaars since I did, and when I used to do it, I was always very particular about staying as true to the original art style as possible. But now that I’ve spent the past couple years focusing on developing my own art style, I actually decided not to care about that so much and just draw the characters the way I’m used to drawing my own, and lo and behold - it looks pretty accurate to the Disney style?? I assumed that the characters would end up looking very different, but other than the eyes being smaller I feel like they look the exact same lmao. It’s interesting to me, because even when I used to do fanart, I usually did so of Japanese art and manga, not of Disney or any other western art. Also, I don’t consider my own style very Disney, but it pleases me a lot that the characters look so much like themselves even in my art style! The most important thing to me is to capture the essence of the character anyway, so any fan can recognise the character they love so much n.n

So that’s about it for this round! I’ve been working on other things as well, but I’d rather not disclose them to the public just yet - perhaps later, when I’ve made more progress, or (gasp!) actually finished something!! Bahahah, with the many things I’m working on, hell will freeze over before that day comes. *cries*

Youtube

I’m adding this Youtube section because, in addition to writing and doing artwork, I also like to record vocal covers (mainly of kpop songs, but I’ll do anything I’m in the mood for at any given point), aaaaand as of today I'm gonna be uploading speedpaints as well! Which is probably good since I don’t upload my covers nearly as often as I finish them lmao.

I’ve not uploaded any new covers recently (though I really should, I do have some covers lying around on my laptop mwerp), but I’m gonna list a couple of my favourite covers I have on my channel here so you can take a listen if you’d like!

youtube

And today I uploaded my very first speedpaint to my channel, so check that out if you’re interested in that sort of stuff! It’s the process of my Christmas portrait piece for Serena. I aim to be more consistent with uploads since I have a few unedited recordings lying around, so keep an eye out for that!

youtube

If you’ve read this far, thank you for sticking around and taking a look at my work, even if it’s only in WIP form. I wanted to start doing these updates because I’ve been watching my friends do them for a long time, and I always love reading their writing updates; they motivate me so much to get working on my own stuff, and I just wanna be able to perhaps do something similar for anyone else who’s watching me out there. So thank you sincerely to @coffeeandcalligraphy, @sarahkelsiwrites and @shaelinwrites for sharing your process with the world and being such an inspiration to me and many others, I love seeing you all make progress on your own projects <3

So that was all for this round, I hope you guys enjoyed a little sneak peek into what I’ve been working on! Until next time, folks!
