when did Oscar say he was glad he beat Lando to the sprint win?

I finally found it and oh my god I wish I hadn't put so much effort into this reply now

bc it's literally nothing ;ashfk;sah

but since I already drafted this! I'm mostly a fake so I can understand newer ppl needing insight into the peculiar type of competition in F1 and the weird balance of drivers respecting and maybe liking each other as people vs wanting to vanquish all of them as a fundamental part of a driver's mindset and training - and how they couldn't have even gotten to F1 in the first place if they didn't have that mentality.

Lando has always been super honest about this and stated it back when he started in F1

and ofc the quote about Daniel that got him so much shit but that he was literally just stating facts

Max saying the same thing

I also compiled videos of Lando and Carlos saying the same things about how they don't see any of their F1 friends as their private life friends because of the necessary rivalry. again that makes absolute sense and shouldn't feel upsetting or strange bc they keep their jobs based on knife edge performance and success margins. it's called compartmentalizing!

so by the time I found the clip of Oscar blushing red and trying to hide his face when he said 'yes' to being pleased he did precisely what Lando has said he's always trying to do with Oscar/Carlos/Daniel imagine my surprise that that was all it was ???

so yea I'm guessing this whole thing was ppl either forgetting or not knowing that relationships among drivers exist second to their goals to beat everyone, esp the guy in similar machinery. (Oscar even being that bashful about it is honestly pretty surprising when I'm pretty sure most drivers wouldn't have been)

and like, I know we all got caught up in the high but both Carlos and Lando made it clear that the DRS 'on purpose' was for Carlos to keep a car that couldn't overtake him (Lando) between himself and the Mercedes that absolutely could have. it was a fun side thing that it was carlando but Carlos literally was not sparing a single percentage of brain space for bromance while he was gunning for a win we gotta remember that !!

me when people treat casifer as though he's Cool Edgy Cunty Cas™ when he's literally just lucifer in a different meatsuit

#it's not cas!!!! #that's just a whole different guy!!!! #yes misha did a kickass job playing him but it's literally a different character what's not clicking!!!! #if you want an evil version of cas to pair with demon!dean or moc!dean or whatever there are plenty of options #and if you actually want to ship dean and lucifer that's frankly a wild ass choice but you can literally just. ship dean and lucifer. #but it's the way people always include casifer in polls of ''which cas is hottest'' or ''which cas to pair with this version of dean'' #like!!! that aint cas!!!!! #anyway this has been a rant #wank adjacent #i guess #more just a fandom pet peeve of mine

honestly the WORST fucking thing is when a fic does a bait-and-switch.

When it pretends it's gonna be wincest or sastiel, but that's really just the physical and it's all about how emotionally it's really destiel.

Like.

My dude.

Please just TAG IT AS SUCH. Go ahead and throw the physical pairing on, but please please PLEASE add that it's mostly about unrequited destiel.

(i have also seen this bait-and-switch in RPF, where it pretended it was gonna be a j2 fic but was really about how in love Jensen and Misha were and LET ME TELL YOU the author did NOT appreciate commenters telling them "uh, you might want to add a tag onto this")

#fanfic etiquette #tagging etiquette #wank adjacent #sorta #like i get that it's a lot of people's cuppa tea #but it's MY personal NOtp #so please please please #stop with the bait and switch #my click may give your fic one more view #but it is not a happy view #and it kinda ruins my day when i only had time for ONE fic #anti destiel #for safety

when people accuse spn of trying to “no homo” moments that (and I cannot stress this enough) unequivocally textualize bi!Dean

#everyone says they want queer leads to be nbd in series like this but when a censored text isn't ultra performative they're all jared 19 #and argue that the audience being jared 19 is what determines *whether or not something is TEXT* #dean is bi #wank adjacent

The sunk cost fallacy I fall for again and again is discord servers.

But at least I finally left a server, because also I am not a person who can just mute and forget it exists, because hey maybe it has gotten better! (It never gets better).

#wank adjacent #there are people discord servers are wonderful for #i am not one of them #there is one server that I am fine with #other ones off they break bad #and I hope they will go back to how they were #and they don't #and it is mostly a me thing #but hey discord is the best for dms #i do love it for that

I...are folks actually whining on twitter dot com about Jensen probably smoking?

Is that how it is now?

What's next, berating him for skiing, cause he might brake a leg?

Apart from the fact that it's nobody's business but his own, y'all celebrate when Jensen's drunk af because he's more entertaining or whatever (cause booze so healthy) and are all completly ok when it's just Adam's cigarette (like he claimed in a thread), because fuck Adam's health I guess?

That cannot be real. The amount of entitlement and hypocrisy is so off all charts it has to be some kind of social experiment or performance art or whatever.

Nothing evokes passion in me like bad Silm meta. I have curated my online presence so that I see very little of it but when I DO see it, the impulse to reblog/retweet and tear it down is ALMOST irresistible. I'm currently writing this post to help me resist such an impulse rn ✊😔

I think the dichotomy people see is that Lando was in a cave in Vietnam with no internet access when the whole Hamilton Twitter conversation was going on. Max Fewtrell said that he was without internet access. The tour site says that while you are in the caves and surrounding area you will not have cell coverage or internet. That they only have satellite phones for emergencies. So if he was in the caves Tuesday through Friday (Martin said it was four days), and only got back to civilization on Saturday there was no way for it to be him interacting on Twitter. So during that time someone else was posting a silly reaction gif to the biggest news of the off-season. Not saying you aren’t correct and he’s taken back control now that he’s back, but just lends to some doubt.

Max had no intention for his offhand comment to be taken as some kind of military time and geographic coordinates of Lando's exact whereabouts at that second lasfjlsahf. and the "four days" Martin referred to is the total time in Vietnam, not inside the cave as you can see from him like. literally posting stuff from not in the cave. in no way is Lando or Martin going to let y'all fans know precisely where they are at any given time, nor is Max. there's good reason for that!

I’ll go ahead and say that another anon already alerted me that this is all from a conspiracy theory to disprove any positive interaction every happening between Lando and Oscar and about proving car|ando being "real" in whatever way that means. I've already made it clear many times I don't do the whole 'rpf is real' thing and I absolutely have NO time for the way women and girlfriends are talked about in those spaces.

is it far more more likely that Lando and and his teammate were indeed tweeting each other in a lighthearted inconsequential way? yes. would it be extremely unprofessional for a PR person to fail to tweet anything for a month from Lando's acc if indeed they are running it for him? yes. and would it be extremely weird for a paid employee to suddenly take it upon themselves to reply to an untagged Oscar tweet in a very Lando way? yes. would it be unnecessary for the LN4 acc (Lando merch PR) to tweet at Oscar as well as someone else on Lando's team from his personal acc? yes. is it more likely that fans can't figure out where or when Lando was when he heard about the Ferrari news? yes.

are people making WAY too much out of this bc of some weird parasocial hope that Lando must react in a certain way to the Ferrari/Carlos news and if he doesn't then an entire conspiracy has to be put together to explain why? apparently!!

I already regret getting pulled into this babe so listen, maybe Lando pops up and says yeah I didn’t tweet that and I never talk to Oscar or he winks solely at car|ando fans on his next stream and states clearly that he was absolutely NOT online when those tweets were made. if that will make y'all happy then godspeed! but block my blog while you're at it ok ??

bc spending his much time and energy over ONE small silly twitter interaction has already exhausted me so idk how y'all do it every day !!

#inchreplies #oh my god never did I imagine one twitter interaction and me replying to one ask would result in ppl trying to geotag lando's every step #wank adjacent #sorry for not tagging this earlier!

do fandom people realize that gleefully firing off mean little zingers at the socially accepted online target of the week for clicks is functionally identical to the way high school bullies use cruelty for clout, or do they lack that level of self awareness?

#i am TIRED #i have unfollowed/blocked so many fandom people lately #because the way they sling nasty comments around as soon as they think they can get away with it #tells me everything i need to know about the kinds of people they are #like it's always obvious when someone has cruel impulses they've just been waiting for the chance to indulge without consequences #when they can pretend that they're ''punching up'' because their target is ostensibly higher up the social foodchain #but the insults/comments/meanspirited jokes are all rooted in queerphobia or racism or ableism or misogyny or classism etc #and therefore do more harm to others than to the person they're theoretically aiming at #like... i see you #(this isn't about anything current or specific btw) #(wrote this post a month or two ago and just found it in my drafts) #(but the point stands because i've definitely continued to encounter the same shit) #fandom problems #wank adjacent

"are people not into that?" i ask, after posting my weird niche shit to the internet, despite knowing it to be weird niche shit.

#jsyk sylkius or anything adjacent to it does not “Do Numbers” in any way and i observed this some time ago #i assume that's the “rival ships” element at work but who knows really #that sort of thing is like femslash in that everyone approves of it but nobody actually reads or writes it #but who would have thought sylvie beating loki with a stick would not bring in droves of readers???! shocking twist there! #& i don't consider sifki a rarepair but my rarepair standards are VERY strict like if there's >5 fics a pairing is basically mainstream #chasing popularity would annoy me though & i just don't have the mental spoons to try writing stuff i wouldn't personally read #yeah i *could* put my blorbos to work in a coffee shop but what cost to my own enjoyment levels? AT WHAT COST FANGELA??? #you can't please everyone so you may as well just please yourself and if anyone else likes it you've found some fellow freaks so yay #i don't mean please yourself in a wanking sense. though feel free to do that too it probably counts as a cardio workout idk. #BUT ANYWAY #fic related #ps i am v glad there's the “warning: loki” tag because i think/hope it acts as a filter for 'he did nothing wrong in his life ever' types #who are Valid & etc obviously but i write my morally grey characters to be morally grey and the tag might help avoid conflict #though tbh i write almost every character to be morally grey in some way so i can't claim to have left my comfort zone here #(i'm not joking when i say the 1987-89 run of Dr Who shaped my entire future fannish life from a young and apparently v impressionable age)
