There's something at the tip of my tongue about the parallels between Jackie and Wilson and Who We Are
How the narrator of Jackie and Wilson wants to run away with a woman that he's carved out of his imagination based on a brief interaction. How they would try the world, but good god it wasn't for them. So they run away from it into a fantasy world where they live by their own rules.
And then comes the narrator of Who We Are, who dreamt his whole life of finding someone who would hold him like water or like a knife, only to find that running away from the world will only get them so far, since "the hardest part is who we are". And only to find out that the "phantom life" he's fantasized about is actually just that: a phantom. And its absence sharpens like a knife

we need to have the conversation of how charles fans treat his teammates without falling into the accusatory zone that we want to harm charles by having this conversation.
i mean charles no harm, but it is something that is getting extremely out of hand and it needs to be talked about. some charles fans have gotten too freely with being cruel to others drivers.
people used to call sebastian vettel a CORPSE. yes, scuderia ferrari screwed him. yes, everyone loves sebastian vettel again NOW (because he is far away from it and free from this hell) but back in 19/20? charles fans, mainly on twitter, made his life miserable. he couldn’t win. he couldn’t make anyone happy. if he won, he was taking something from charles that belonged to charles rightfully. it he lost, he was old and bad and should retire already and this sport wasn’t for him. he wasn’t a team player. he didn’t care about ferrari. he wanted to screw charles over.
if you just got here, if carlos is your first experience of how charles’ teammates are treated, let me tell you. everything that is being said about carlos has already been said about sebastian. and it is crazy for some people to understand that because everyone loves sebastian again, so you can’t even imagine what he went throught.
and i’m sorry for generalizing all of charles fans, im a charles fan, but it is something we need to stop and look at and talk about. how long will we let it go. how long until it starts to happen to lewis hamilton, of all people. how long until they dismiss his victories and say he is old and should give up of this sport so charles can win.
and you know one of the worst part? charles loves to race. every time he had to fight for it, he loved it. when he and carlos race in that track, he comes out with a big smile and talking about how he loves to race carlos. how this is real racing. he loves to fight for it. to prove himself. to have to sweat for it.
all while his fans try to make everyone just bow down their heads and give him things in a plate, already chewed and easy to get. as if he would like that. as if he can’t prove himself worth otherwise. as if he isn’t good enough to fight for it.

The more I think about it, the more I think the ending The Collector got was the best they’d get. I mean, it’s very easy and very true to say, “he’s a child!! He needs someone to watch over him”, but it’s also important to note that he’s a god. A straight up, insanely powerful, immortal, god.
Yes they are changing, and yes they worked hard to help fix the damage Belos and them did. But, like, he wouldn’t be safe on the isles. Yes our main characters seem to largely forgive him, because they understand that he didn’t really get what he was doing, and clearly feels bad and wants to help. But there’s an entire populace they victimized and who will inevitably hold trauma and hostility towards this kid. They don’t need that, especially in the beginning of their development.
What The Collector needs is to explore new life, new mortals, learn from them on a fresh slate, grow to understand themselves and the world around them. They aren’t alone, they can visit any time, hell, they’ve been asked to visit, and they have François with them to keep them company while they’re away.
When you consider his, presumably, slow aging process, how long he’s been alive already, and how that factors into his life and how he processes it, he really isn’t gone long at all. When king said “The Collector was in the area”, he says it with a familiarity that makes it seem like this isn’t a super rare occurrence.
It kinda feels like a kid playing outside all day and coming home to eat and sleep, only to to it again the next day, because they like playing and learning and exploring outside, and they don’t want to accidentally make a mess in the house. If that makes sense?
My point is that, yes he is a child, and that’s incredibly important to note, but he is also a god, and that is equally important to note, and is integral to understanding them and their story.
