Life In the Fast Lane Moodboards
Nico Dumont (6th April 1999. Bordeaux, France)
Formula 1 Driver, Scuderia Alpha Tauri-Honda
âThe picture was of Sophie and Nico, both aged 14, stood on the podium with another driver (Nico had won, with Sophie in second) at the first international karting race they had both competed in together. Incidentally, they had only met each other for the first time the day before, when Nico had rescued a 9 year old Will from picking a fight with another kid who wasnât exactly keen on being out-qualified by a girl.
Nico had eventually reunited Will with the rest of the Knightsbridge family, and Mark and Mary were so relieved that they offered Nico and his family to join them for dinner, once they found out the Dumonts were staying at the same hotel. Sophie and Nico had been friends ever since.â

Bees Schnee for the OTP meme
Okay, so, since no numbers were indicated, I went ahead and did all of them. Get ready for 3k+ words of headcanons, lol.
Who is the most affectionate?Yang, especially at first. Blake and Weiss are more apt to be affectionate in private and they gradually become more affectionate in public as their relationship progresses. Yang still holds the title as most overtly affectionate, while Weiss and Blake tend for more subtle methods.
Big spoon/Little spoon?Yang spoons Blake, Blake spoons Weiss, if theyâre all sleeping on their sides, which is usually the case in smaller beds not designs to hold three people. In their bed, however, they usually sleep with Yang in the middle, Blake on Yangâs right, and Weiss on Yangâs left. Not only does it allow them to see both of their partners first thing when they wake up, but they can all touch each other, which helps them sleep. (Itâs a bit inconvenient when Yang has to pee in the middle of the night, though. She usually wakes up and debates whether or not to wake up one or the other, and then they wake up anyway because sheâs squirming trying to hold it in.)
Most common argument?Transportation. It stems from them wanting to make sure everyone is equally part of the relationship and no one feels like a third wheel, but long drives can kinda put a hamper in that, so their method of transportation becomes more of an argument than a simple rearrangement. At first, they use Yangâs bike to get around, and while Blake and Weiss have no issues with the bike itself- it is rather nice- using it is hard for the three of them. Early in their relationship, Yang got a side car so it could transport all three, but that still left one sitting in the side car while the other gets to ride on the bike. Weiss and Blake then want to get a car, but that turns into a headache seeing as they all have different tastes when it comes to vehicles. Eventually, Blake and Weiss cave and the triad get a black McLaren F1 with yellow and white racing stripes, which works for a while until the twins are born, and then the hunt for a vehicle begins anew.
Favorite non-sexual activity?Yangâs a total cuddle bug, Weiss likes playing with Blakeâs ears and Yangâs hair, and Blake likes reading to both of them, especially when theyâre sleepy. Together, they like watching old movies, putting them on mute, and then ad-libbing lines in an effort to see who can make the others laugh first. They usually making it to about the thirty minute mark before someone breaks and then they just riff on the flick for the rest of the night; helps destress after a mission or when things are looking dark.
Who is most likely to carry the other?Much to their chagrin, Yangâs the only one capable of carrying the other two without stumbling. Yangâs almost pure muscle and taller, so it takes a bit of coordinated effort to pick her up, but she can lift Blake and Weiss no problem.
What is their favorite feature of their partnerâs?Blakeâs are Weissâ eyes and Yangâs smile; both are incredibly expressive, but it takes time to really get to know both women to understand and tell the difference between sincere emotion and a facade, as Weiss and Yang are prone to covering their concerns, though for different reasons (Blake has the same problem but her ears often give her away). Weissâ are Blakeâs hands and Yangâs shoulders; she admires the metaphorical and literal strength in both and associates her partnersâ attitudes with those features, Blake often taking control of things (even if her definition of âcontrolâ sometimes means ârunning awayâ and Yang shouldering blame and concerns to protect those closest to her). Yangâs are a bit bittersweet- her favorites are her partnersâ scars; theyâre constant reminders of the lives Weiss and Blake led before they met and eventually started dating and while sheâs grateful the events shaped both of them into strong, capable people, itâs also a constant reminder that sheâs not going to let anyone else hurt them like that. Meanwhile, they tend to have the same #2 slot; Blake and Weiss can agree they are both huge fans of Yangâs arms, Blake and Yang adore Weissâ hips, and Weiss and Yang love Blakeâs legs.
Whatâs the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?lol, This is kinda the plot for Partners, no? Anyway, in contrast to my Monochrome reply, I think theyâd become extremely conscious of how much they interacted with each other. The protectiveness would still be present- Blake and Yang would get miffed with anyone disrespecting Weissâ opinion or voice (within reason, of course, because Weiss does say some shit every now and again), Weiss and Yang would take any slight against Faunus personally (theyâd handle it in their own ways, with Weiss staring fuckers down or chewing them out and Yang punching them through the nearest wall), and Blake and Weiss would not tolerate any disparaging remarks about Yangâs looks or intelligence (the only reason Neon walks out of the doubles round alive is because thereâs too many cameras around)- but Yang and Blake might distance themselves from each other a bit and Weiss would hang out with Ruby more often. Everyone has their own levels of perception, so while Yang might spend equal time with Blake and Weiss, one or the other might pick up on her feelings, and the last thing sheâd want to do is catch oneâs attention without the other even suspecting, because that would make the whole explanation really awkward, and the other two feel the same way. All three of them would turn into awkward dorks around each other, and Blake and Yang would try to minimize it because theyâre partners.
Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?For Weiss, Yang and Blake call her 'Princessâ because it does fit her personality quite well, but Ruby get credit for coining the name. Theyâd also call her something more intimate in private- like 'Snowfallâ, something that acknowledges her family heritage and all the baggage that comes with it while affirming that it doesnât change their affections for her and she still has the power to affect how that heritage is viewed. For Blake, 'Kittenâ is used only in private and 'Blakeyâ, though most often by Yang while Weiss prefers 'Loveâ. In the same vein, 'Kittenâ acknowledges Blakeâs Faunus heritage and both of her girlfriends are careful that the moniker is only associated with expressing their deep affection while 'Blakeyâ and 'Loveâ offer the bit of discretion Blake is accustomed to maintaining. For Yang, thereâs a lot, and theyâre usually jokes of some manner- 'Pheonixâ for when she does something self-destructive but miraculously walks away from, 'Dragonâ when her temper gets the better of her, Weiss will use 'Musclesâ when sheâs spending more time talking and less time accomplishing a task, that sort of thing. But, in an intimate setting, 'Sunburstâ and 'Fallen Starâ are often used, both referring to Yangâs abundant energy and bright personality.
Who worries the most?Weiss, of course. She has two separate lists for Blake and Yang alone, and then another list for when their together of all the things that could happen. Without them knowing, she often inspects their weapons and gear herself, just to put the doubts at rest.
Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?Blake. It makes her happy to remember little details like that whenever sheâs down or missing the others, so she pays close attention whenever they go out to eat; she even notices when they use salt, pepper, or spices on which meals or which moods correspond with different types of food. Sheâs also got a hidden stash of Atlesian chocolate and those fireball candies for whenever her partners need a little pick-me-up.
Who tops?They take turns, to an extent, but it typically goes Weiss, Yang, Blake in terms of most dominant. Blake prefers relinquishing control to her partners, Yangâs more than willing to put her strength to use or keep herself still to aid her partners, and Weiss most often just wants to personally ensure both of her girlfriends enjoy themselves.
Who initiates kisses?At first, Yang, purely because sheâs just too damn happy to have both Blake and Weiss with her that she canât always control the impulse. Blake quickly matches her, with Weiss growing accustomed to it slowly. Still, even in the later parts of their relationship, Yangâs the most prone to go for a kiss without prompting.
Who reaches for the otherâs hand first?Blake. Sheâs most inclined towards discreet methods of showing affection in public, so sheâd be the first to interlace fingers. Weiss might beat her to the punch in private, though, and Yang would probably go for a kiss first instead.
Who kisses the hardest?Weiss, though itâs mostly because of the height difference. Blake and Yang like to tease her sometimes, so sheâs gotten into the habit of pulling them down to her and giving them ample reason to not pull away. Itâs quite effective.
Who wakes up first?Blake. The superb hearing in her Faunus ears means sheâs a light sleeper already, so she usually is the first one to wake up while the other two try to stay asleep. Unless sheâs exhausted, of course. Still, sheâll feign being asleep until one or the other wakes up and sometimes until theyâre both up; she tries not to monopolize the first good morning kiss, though it is tempting.
Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?Weiss always advocates for sleeping in when there arenât classes or other pressing matters demanding their attention that day; sheâd much rather stay in bed with her girlfriends than deal with the outside world, and thereâs enough things demanding their presence independent of one another that any stolen moments they can get together is worth holding onto, in her mind. However, if they have to get up for something, Yangâs usually the last to relent while Blake plays the middle ground, usually striking a compromise to keep them all happy without making them late.
Who says I love you first?Yang. Blake and Weiss have their own personal issues with expressing affection but, if thereâs one thing Summerâs sudden death and Ravenâs abandonment taught her, it was that you canât tell the people you care about how much they mean to you often enough. Especially with how crazy their lives have been, she wouldnât want to risk Weiss or Blake ever doubting how much she cares about them, so sheâd say it often and sincerely. She tries to downplay how much the lack of reciprocation affects her- she understands that both of her girlfriends need time to really be comfortable with saying those words- but she would still tell them she loves them often, just so they never have to question it.
Who leaves little notes in the otherâs one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?)Yang; she used to do the same for Ruby when she was younger and some habits are hard to break. She also gets a kick out of watching her girlfriendâs reactions. (âC'mon, Blakey, donât frown! You canât have tuna every day! But if you eat all your lunch, youâll get a nice dessert tonight! ;)â âNo, Princess, you donât need a knife and fork to eat a PB & J, just use the napkin or ask me to clean you up! ;)â Blake and Weiss try to deny how much they enjoy Yangâs teasing.)
Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first?By default, Yang; Ruby is part of their team, after all, and would be the first person informed about their relationship. Between Blake and Weiss, though, Blake manages to get a message down to Menagerie⌠and then further explains herself two weeks later when Ghira and Kali show up, because like hell theyâre just going to wait at home now that they know a) where their daughter is and b) that sheâs dating.
What do their family/friends think of their relationship?Yangâs family is entirely supportive, though Qrow has some misgivings about Weiss. He mostly keeps them to himself so Yang can be happy; his beef is mostly with Winter, anyway. Taiyangâs warily happy that Yangâs found two people she cares so much about. Heâs concerned sheâll make the same mistakes he did, despite their differing circumstances, but letâs her do it anyway. Only way sheâll really learn if things go south is to not interfere at all, he figures, and he treats Blake and Weiss like family until that worry fades away completely. Blakeâs family is split at first; Kali is supportive but Ghira needs to be won over a bit. Honestly, Kaliâs a bit too supportive and has to be told to stop with her 'suggestionsâ while Yang gets Ghiraâs approval after a bit of joking around and roughhousing and Weiss wins him over after the two butt heads over SDC policies- she turns out to be more progressive than heâd given her credit for, and manages to be both forceful and respectful, which will be needed when it comes to affecting change. Once he gives them the chance, Ghira becomes genuinely fond of Yang and Weiss, seeing as they both put in noticeable effort to make his daughter happy, and he welcomes them with open arms after that. Weiss, on the other hand, only has Winter for support; her father rejects the relationship entirely, her brother isnât about to get in the middle of this, and her mother⌠yeah. Weâre not going into that. Winter, at least, is glad her sisterâs found her own way in the world that seems to be leading her to happiness. She could do without being indirectly related to Qrow, but, sheâs willing to make that sacrifice for her sister.
Who is more likely to start dancing with the other?Weiss. She didnât get a chance to at the school dance so, after one off hand remark about ballroom dancing, takes it upon herself to teach Yang and Blake a few different styles. She usually sings along with the music, too, and they eventually create their own style of dancing that works for most waltzing songs but allows all three of them to move together, and theyâll hum along with the music.
Who cooks more/who is better at cooking?Yang, mainly thanks to Summer and Ruby. She teaches Weiss and Blake some of Summerâs and Taiyangâs old recipes but usually takes on cooking duty herself; itâs as relaxing as going a few rounds against a heavy bag, but with a better result. Sheâs also more than a little proud when she can get one or both of her girlfriends to moan without even touching them, and good food is one way to make that happen.
Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines?Again, Yang- itâs like breathing for her- while Blake is prone to quoting her *ahem* romance novels. Weiss tries and usually fails to land the delivery just right, but Yang and Blake both think thatâs too damn cute, so it works in her favor.
Who whispers inappropriate things in the otherâs ear during inappropriate times?Weiss- and sheâs gotten better at using the smallest amount of words to produce the maximum effect as time goes on. Yangâs too loud to try and Blakeâs more tactile- a brush of her fingertips as they pass is more her style.
Who needs more assurance?All of them need assurance, for varying reasons, but Weiss needs slightly more. While she always expected, to some degree, that her relationship with her father would deteriorate at some point, losing the security of her family is still a blow that shakes her up. Add to that how often she feels like sheâs playing catch up when it comes to expressing her emotions, telling Blake and Yang how much she cares about them, and allowing herself to be open and honest with them- itâs only natural for her to doubt her choices and actions, second guess herself, and have the worst outcomes plague her mind.
What would be their theme song?âUnder Pressureâ by Queen and David Bowie. (Yang will often joke that â3â by Britney Spears is their favorite song; Blake usually laughs while Weiss rolls her eyes and calls her crass.)
Who would sing to their child back to sleep?Weiss usually sings to the kids to get them to sleep; Yangâs singing usually makes them too hyper to go to bed, because she picks high tempo, driving rock songs instead of lullabies. Blake only sings very rarely, so they end up listening too intently to be lulled to sleep.
What do they do when theyâre away from each other?Weiss tends to either spend her time practicing her combat technique or scrutinizing the business news but, when sheâs looking to relax, sheâll put on some classical music or an old movie to unwind. Sometimes, Neptune will come over and theyâll joke about whoâs more pretentious- the characters in the movie or Neptune himself- or theyâll mock depictions of stereotypes together. Blake usually reads, either at home curled up in her favorite chair by the window or down at the park, sitting in a huge tree and occasionally people watching. Every now and then, she and Sun will grab a meal to catch up or volunteer down at a homeless shelter. Yang goes out for solo rides on Bumblebee or takes a round with a heavy bag, depending on her mood. Otherwise, she and Nora will go clubbing just so they can be loud and have fun. If one of themâs busy and the other two are free, Blake and Weiss will usually find a book shop where Blake can find a new book and Weiss can read the paper, Weiss and Yang often play video games either head-to-head or cooperatively, and Blake and Yang go for a run.
one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heartIn any universe where Yang loses her arm, sheâll feel guilty whenever holding/hugging/touching her girlfriends, because only one of them can feel her at any given time; the other just has her prosthetic, which isnât the same. It really impacts her self image and her perceived worth as a good girlfriend to both of them, something that takes years for her to fully comes to terms with and tears her apart emotionally until then.
one headcanon about this OTP that mends itBecause of the way their respective histories have shaped them, all three understand that loving someone else- or two someones- means accepting the present and the past in order to build a future together. Itâs an all-or-nothing package. Regardless of what each has individually lost, thereâs two people who care about them, and those feelings are returned. It doesnât replace what was lost but what emerges is all the stronger for it.
