I address infinite and earnest praise to the showerer of benefits, the cherisher of all, the white-complexioned; adore the consumer of sin, with prostrations; we glorify the illustrious name of Rudra. Firm with strong limbs, assuming many forms fierce, and tawny-colored, he shines with brilliant golden ornaments; vigour is inseparable from Rudra, the supreme ruler and lord of this world. — Rig Veda 2.33.8-9

KINKTOBER DAY 11: PET PLAY [MICK SCHUMACHER X READER]

NOTE: this is an nsfw fic with sub!Mick and Dom!reader. If you’re under 18 or uninterested, please scroll past. If you like what you see here, then check out the rest of my blog :))

This fic is part of a kinktober series where I discuss a different motorsport person with a different kinky concept every day. I’ll be discussing the concepts in more detail and answering asks on them on my blog, so if you have any ideas feel free to stop by!

Ordinarily, Mick is the sweetest good boy you’ve ever come across. Normally all he wants is to make you happy and he would never ever disobey you. Ever.

But…. Once he’s got his special collar on? Once you’re calling him puppy?

Well then he’s a whole different sub.

He becomes insatiable and so so naughty, willing to do anything to get off. You have to watch him carefully or else he’ll start humping whatever he can. And he whines. So much. You tell me to move and he whines, you tell him to stop being naughty and he whines, you touch him and he whines.

Sometimes you’ll tell him to try to be a good puppy and rest at your feet for a little while, which inevitably leads to him grinding against the floor, letting out frustrated high pitches whines cause he’s a horny puppy and you’re not helping!!!

It’s by far his favourite stress reliever. Mick often feels the same pressure he normally does to be good and live up to expectations when he’s your sub. Granted it’s different because he knows these are expectations he can always meet, but still nevertheless the pressure is there.

And because of this, normal scenes aren’t really the answer when he’s feeling stressed and overwhelmed because they can add even more pressure to him.

However, this is not an issue when it comes to pet play, because when it comes to pet play he doesn’t feel the same pressure to do well and live up to expectations. Instead, he’s able to just fully let go.

Often all the emotions he’s being tried to hide will come out when he can he your puppy. If he’s been feeling frustrated lately, he’ll be a frustrated puppy, growling and whining when he doesn’t get his way. If he’s been feeling sad, then he’ll crawl into your lap the moment he has his collar on, hiding against your chest like a scared little pup.

It’s a space where he’s able to just relax in a way he can’t anywhere else.

And yeah this lack of pressure leads to him being a horny little shit because he’s not trying to stop himself. Instead he’s just…. Whining and humping your thigh.

Omg could they not have waited until the summer break plsss why is it immediate 💀

helmut marko thought de vries was generational after scoring in monza in a williams even though that's williams' best track and albonpendix could've scored points here

made the executive decision of hiring de vries, spurred on by verstappen's recommendation of his friend. important to note horner did not want to put de vries in the car, something they disagreed on, but with how close marko is with the mateschitz family (redbull's owners), he's granted a lot of importance in driver promotions. marko famously claims he's the one who talent spotted verstappen when everyone else wrote him off as too young, also chose yuki when mick was the biggest name on f2 etc. so marko has a reputation and an eye for spotting talent, and he lost out on his gamble on de vries - big time.

also important to consider de vries is in debt, or scandal with loan sharks. does not have a last name like schumacher or big name sponsors (honda when yuki when was flopping) that would help him ride out the whole season. to redbull management, he's dead weight, ricciardo is a fan favourite, sponsored up the walls, allegedly has car experience and can develop the team, and he's an 8 time race winner reserve driver. probably aligns with redbull's Bigger plans of bringing alpha tauri back to england and changing its name, and much more that we're not currently privy to.

they're doing an undercut before silly season to show this decision is a redbull only choice, not affected by silly season rumours or potential DR getting seat offers from other teams etc.

[lovingvettel]

last night i was going nuts thinking abt ballet au sico so let us review the material

sebastian vettel: protege of the schumacher grant for young dancers. discovered from the german countryside, he is the opposite of everything a ballet dancer should be offstage, but onstage hes an uncaged animal, a culmination of raw talent, an obsession with theory and technique and a reverence for the history and tradition of ballet. never shows up to rehearsals on time (theyve had to give him fake earlier calltimes), probably picks his nose between barre exercises, flirts with all the girls AND boys. nico hates him for it. and he has horrendous posture whenever hes not dancing.

nico rosberg: legacy dancer obviously, he could probably do an eight count before he could walk. grew up inside dance studios and lived between monaco and moscow but technically is german. perfect prim and proper ballerino. in his spare time he learns the girl parts just because, and when he was a kid he threw a fit when he found out boys dont dance pointe. has a weird (onesided 👀) obsession with seb bc of how weird he is. has perfect posture to the point its uncanny and probably has never relaxed a muscle in his life.

[forthegothicheroine]

Thoughts on Batman and Robin 1997 (with Rifftrax) after all these years

It's a comedy, I'll get that out of the way so that I don't sound like an angry fan raging against puns on principle. Good? Good.

1966 Batman puts this in a bit more context, since that's the clear model. But Batman 66, at least in it's best episodes, did have funny jokes! This really doesn't!

I want to say the problem is that they're trying to combine Batman 66 and the Animated Series and that doesn't work, but another work did pull it off perfectly- Batman the Brave and the Bold, one of my favorite cartoons ever. I guess it helped that they had Paul Dini, the heart of the Animated Series.

Joel Schumacher has deservedly become a bit of a punchline, but he did make some good movies- The Lost Boys is one of my all time favorites. This did not have to be so bad.

I have to imagine this finished product did not look like anybody's goal. It feels like so many independent bad ideas alongside each other.

They probably cast Arnold to play Freeze because the guy in Batman 66 had a German accent. Still, I keep thinking "Why isn't he Bane?" because that would have been the obvious cast- not necessarily good, but obvious. Did someone leave all Bane's lines on the cutting room floor and they had to give their big star the role with dialogue?

Poor Uma, doing a self-conscious Mae West impression. I bet she could have been a perfectly fine Poison Ivy.

Even for a comedy, I really don't get why Poison Ivy wants to blanket the world in ice. Won't that kill all the plants? And if her ultimate plan is to repopulate the earth with flesh eating plants, what the hell flesh will there be for them to eat? That's some Thanos-level environmental planning.

They're clearly trying to replicate Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman with Poison Ivy, going from a nerd to a bad girl. While that part of Batman Returns is a bit 90s pop feminism- why would getting thrown off a building make you a sexy jewel thief, and why would she be snooty towards mugging victims?- I genuinely believed that anger had been in her all along. Ivy has one scene as a nerd and then a totally new personality.

If Batman didn't have a girlfriend I wouldn't think anything of it, but him having one who only shows up for one public scene and one private one where he ignores her makes her look like a professional beard.

I remember when Hush was coming out and we were all super excited to find out Ivy's pheremones also worked on women. In retrospect, it's nuts that was ever in question. Why wouldn't all those beauty queens in the auction scene also go nuts over her?

Doesn't the guy who makes her Poison Ivy end up in the New Guardians and fight Snowflame? It feels like that should be in this particular movie.

The nipples on the Batsuit are, in fact, incredibly distracting.

Grant Morrison pointed out how weird it is that Alfred would have designed and made a form-fitting leather and rubber suit for his own niece and yeah, that is weird.

God bless Alfred, the only person trying to act.

To be continued...

[bunnytalksf1]

Hey bunny, i wanted to ask you, how much does f2 performance matter to get into f1? Cause everyone keeps saying about how kimi will move to f1, but from what im seeing he hasn’t been performing too well in f2 compared to other drivers, does that not matter? Also, who do i have to kill or sacrifice to get a brazilian in f1 again? Lol

So, this is actually quite a long-winded explanation. I'll try and TL;DR it but since it seems like you're new to feeder series, I'll explain a little more in depth.

So, let's start with what F2 is supposed to be: a representative spec series (all cars the same) to test driver performance in slightly slower cars than F1. The pathway is supposed to be : F4 (usually national) to FR(E/A)C (continental championships), F3 (International, support series to F1), then F2 (International, support series to F1), then F1 itself. The FIA is very biased about what series they want talent coming into F1 to come from, and it's these series.

However, the cars in F2 are not, and have never been, equal. Historically, the Prema team (Italian, heavily ferrari-linked) has been the best car. Leclerc, Schumacher, De Vries, Piastri, and Bearman all competed in F2 with Prema. This year it's generally agreed the car isn't as great, but- oh well.

So, you ask. If the cars in F2 aren't equal, how is it a representative series for F1? Great question! it isn't.

Almost every motorsport series in the world acts as a "feeder" series for F1. In order to enter F1, even as a reserve, you have to have a superlicense. Since 2017 (iirc), we have had a very particular points system for gaining a superlicense. A driver needs to rack up forty points in order to qualify.

(there are more series below this, but this graph is enough to explain, and F1 drivers rarely come from outside these pathways).

There are also some other requirements: needing a valid road car license in their home country, and to be at least eighteen years of age (introduced after Verstappen debuted age seventeen).

This year this has been overruled by the FIA. They now say that exceptions can be granted age seventeen, and this was said in relation specifically to Kimi Antonelli, who already has the points for a superlicense, but is too young.

What I'm going to argue here is that this points system is largely defunct. It has been for a while, but this season, now more than ever, the fans of the sport are beginning to notice, because in theory, if F2 is a representative series, then the best performing drivers should get seats, right?

Well, here's the thing. F1 teams recognise and invest in talent FAR before F2. Of the current F1 grid:

Leclerc was signed to the FDA aged 18 in early 2016, and worked as a development driver for Haas, being in GP3 (F3).

Russell was signed to the Mercedes Development program in early 2017, when he was competing in F3.

Piastri was under Renault from 2020, before his F3 season.

Norris was under the McLaren Young Driver Program from 2017, aged 17, and before he competed in what is now FRECA.

The reason I don't go back beyond 2018 is because a surprising amount of very talented drivers entered the sport without the current requirements filled: Verstappen, Ricciardo pop to mind but there are a ton more.

So, if teams are investing in their talent way before F2, then how is F2 helping drivers be recognised? It isn't. When talking about (in most recent history) Leclerc and Verstappen, you can find interviews from people close to them from KARTING stating they could be generational. Certainly by the time drivers get to Formula Regional, the talent has been recognised and groomed and invested in. F2 is the final stopgap, to make sure that they can handle the power of the cars, and pressure. Success in this series hasn't been the most necessary for a while. Norris didn't win his F2 campaign. Neither did Albon. Lawson came second in Super Formula, as did Gasly, to earn spots in RedBull.

If a driver doesn't have links to an F1 team its unlikely that they'll get an opportunity for a seat, regardless of how they perform (like Paul Aron this year). F1 teams have vested interest in promoting not just the most talented driver, but their own driver. So F2 isn't really helping drivers get promoted. Antonelli is a Mercedes junior, and widely regarded as a prodigy (he won Italian F4 as a rookie, then FRECA as a rookie, which is insanely hard to do). Toto Wolff doesn't want to lose him to another team, and so they'll promote him to get him under contract as soon as possible as not to lose this percieved talent.

Bearman and Antonelli, despite having bad performances in F2 this year, have tested F1 cars, and done well. That is more important to team bosses than points in a feeder series.

Regardless, the superlicense system is designed to keep a) non-competent and b) pay drivers out of F1. It's done that job, slightly. It doesn't, however, promote talent, but arguably that's not the superlicense's job.

The superlicense, has, however, in the past, prevented talent from moving into F1. Pato O'Ward is the example that comes to mind first for me. He currently pilots the no5 for Arrow McLaren in IndyCar, which is a US series, and is a reserve for McLaren in F1.

In May 2019, O'Ward was signed to the Red Bull Junior Team and the following month, was placed on a one-event deal to compete at the Red Bull Ring in Formula 2, substituting for the banned Mahaveer Raghunathan, and was announced as Dan Ticktum's replacement in the Super Formula Championship. Due to a decision by the FIA to award fewer Super License points for O'Ward's Indy Lights championship win, O'Ward was unable to attain the required points to be able to race Formula One in 2020 and would not be retained by Red Bull past 2019. With an IndyCar series ride with McLaren available, Red Bull driver development program head Helmut Marko granted O'Ward an early release from his contract after three Super Formula rounds.

So here we have a Mexican driver who has demonstrated competitive ability in single-seaters, had links with a F1 team, and still didn't meet the requirements. This is because the FIA is biased towards European series - more points are awarded toward superlicenses for European series than others. Hence the lack of South and North American drivers coming into the sport. It rewards non-european drivers for moving. Ricciardo (AUS), Piastri (AUS) Lawson (NZL), Perez (MEX), and Sargeant (US) all moved to Europe at a young age to pursue the F1 dream, and they did it YOUNG (not including Albon because he grew up in the UK). Forcing non-european drivers to this isn't great, and bars a lot of talent from the sport, like O'Ward.

So, yeah. It's complicated, but performance in F2 doesn't matter for anything apart from superlicense requirements. Links to F1 teams are way more important for drivers along with performances when testing F1 cars. Should this be the way it is? No. The FIA wants us as fans to believe F2 is representative, and that a good performance in that series will guarantee an F1 seat, since it is the widest followed series and the one with the most eyes on it. It also helps for fans' understanding, and F1 hasn't been about talent for a long, long time. It's a very money driven sport, more than most.

Antonelli will have a seat because Wolff lost out on Verstappen in 2015 and has decided to make it everyone's problem: he thinks that Antonelli is the next Verstappen and he wants to make sure that he doesn't go to any other team. He was going to get an F1 seat regardless of his performance in F2, he just needs to complete a season for superlicense requirements.

Similar for Bearman with his links to Ferrari and his showing in Jeddah.

In terms of a Brazillian getting back in... yeah. Non-european country. It's likely the next Brazillian driver will be another Piquet, lol, which I don't think anyone wants! The only other Brazillians I know of are Aurelia Nobels (FDA, driving in F4 and F1A) and she has a brother driving in F3 (iirc).

thanks anon!

A gym in Tracey, California, was the site of a shocking scene on December 1st, 2008. As the regular customers arrived, their workout routines were interrupted by the sudden crash of the front doors. A young boy, clad in nothing but grey boxers and a chain around his ankle, stumbled in. He appeared to be in a state of extreme emaciation, his skin caked with blood and grime. With a wild look in his eyes, he implored those present to hide him. The boy, who was identified as 16-year-old Kyle Ramirez, stood at a mere 5 feet 8 inches, weighing a paltry 100 pounds.

At the age of eight, Kyle's biological mother abandoned him, leaving him in the care of Caren Ramirez, a family friend. CPS granted Ramirez custody based solely on a handwritten note from the mother, without conducting the required investigation. Over the years, CPS received numerous reports of abuse and neglect, but Kyle remained in Ramirez's custody, with his physical state deteriorating rapidly. Bruises, patches of missing hair, and extreme emaciation were frequent occurrences.

Kyle's brother was placed in protective custody in 2005 and told CPS about Kyle's abuse, but he would not be removed from the household until 2007. A few months later, Caren coerced Kyle into running away from protective custody and returning to her. This marked a significant escalation in the abuse he suffered. 

For 18 months, Ramirez, along with three friends, Anthony Waiters, Michael Schumacher, and Kelly Lau, subjected Kyle to a relentless torrent of brutality. Belts, hammers, and baseball bats were used to strike him, while knives were used to cut and stab him. The wounds were then doused in bleach. Kyle was made to sleep with a chain around his leg, and he was burned with a red-hot metal bat. Despite his disappearance from protective custody, CPS never reported him missing.

Kyle lived in a constant state of terror, fearing that his abusers would kill him and dismember his body. He knew he had to escape, and one morning he managed to coerce Michael's two-year-old son to hand him the key to his chain. With the chain removed, he fled to the backyard and leaped over the fence with the aid of a trampoline.

In the end, justice was served, as Carmen, Kelly, and Michael received 30-year sentences after taking plea bargains. Anthony, on the other hand, pleaded not guilty and received a life sentence.

usually lately I try to stay away from all this so as not to aggravate my moral injuries, but I want to speak out now because I know that it also hurts people like me

"Oh, and when Hamilton dominated, was there something different?" they say, and you know what? even these people know it's true. because it was different when it was the era of Hamilton, the era of Vettel, Schumacher, Senna and Prost, Lauda and Hunt, Stewart, Clark and Hill, Fangio, Nuvolari and Varzi.

it was different because even if they dominated, they were passionate people with a mad love for motorsport, with a desire to compete, someone more talented, someone more diligent, but they were all madmen in their own way, they all burned with a passion for cars and speed, and they shared this with people to the best of their characters

and who do we see now? a man who takes success for granted, and not as the long and hard work of tens of thousands of people around (and their legal team), without passion and love, a man who was forcibly brought into this sport because his father had ambitions that he himself was never able to realize, a man who is not even interested in competing or doing it fairly

so was it different when others dominated? Yes, it was, because now I'm watching a person do something because his parents forced him to

you might as well watch a reality show about the life of a medical student whose parents dreamed of seeing their child in medicine
