i LOVEEEEE the way you write leo <33333 he’s so sweet and perfect and hot and perfect and amazing and perfect
THANK YOU <333333 he literally is the perfect man.
Leo Valdez is the type of boyfriend to take a fuckton of pictures of you, half of which are on polaroids or film cameras bc he likes sticking pictures of you in his phone case. you look so gorgeous, so organically etherial and happy in every shot he gets of you that people think they're like,, those bonus polaroids you get sometimes with albums. they think he got them from pinterest for the aesthetic. he informs those people that "nah that's actually my s/o aren't they so fuckin gorgeous lol" and people don't believe him. all his stem bro friends have no fucking idea how he bagged you, and he's used to guys thinking he made you up until they meet you. they get fucking whiplash when you're like "no no HE'S the catch in this relationship. I would commit war crimes to keep that man happy I love him to death and back. that's not a euphemism." you both just love and cherish each other so much. he talks to his mom about you all the time. anytime anyone who knows him wants to talk to him all they have to do is ask about you or whatever project he's working on and he lights up like a fucking christmas tree. his mom loves you. all her worries that Leo would fall for someone who wouldn't treat him right (which in all fairness he does have a bit of a track record for) fly out the window with you. Esperanza trusts you with her son which is literally the highest honor you could ever recieve. it's not something you take lightly and it's absolutely something you cherish and take care of every day.
I checked again, the FIA Gala is always the same Friday of December, and coincidentally it's the same Friday McLaren chooses for their Christmas party.
McLaren's party reunites all the factory workers, paddock workers and even the Mclaren Shadow guys. I don't think logistically is possible to change the day for hundreds of people just because one of them can't attend, even if it's a very important one.
It's a shame we can't have a little Landoscar moment before the year finishes, but at least we know Oscar is being celebrated as the rookie of the year which is huge pride.
That‘s extremely unfortunate but perfectly understandable. Thanks for doing some research anon, my lazy ass could never.
I agree with what you‘re saying: It‘s a huge honour for Oscar to attend the ceremony and deservingly take home the award for roty. I hope he enjoys his evening to the fullest just as much as Lando even if it means we‘re not getting any new landoscar moments. 🧡
God now I’m thinking about the general parallels between 1x07 with Rayla and The Queen’s Mercy with Kim’Dael because like
Going to something Sunfire related in hopes of aid?
“Please,” she said, letting her voice crack. “Please—I come without malice! Without weapons! I am at the mercy of the sun!”
The guard balked, his eyes wide.
“I beg of you,” Kim’dael cried. “Take me to Queen Aditi!”
Operating under false pretenses?
Kim’dael pretended that their gazes burned. She pretended she was ashamed. She pulled her hood over her head to hide her face—and the smirk upon her lips. [...] “I am not worthy of forgiveness.” Kim’dael shook her head and briefly shut her eyes as though she held back a fit of weeping. “My crimes are myriad, it is true—but my sorrow is infinite. Should you compel the dragons to spare me, my Queen, I pledge all of my remaining days to repaying your mercy. Look into my eyes and you will see only repentance! Only truth!”
Being horribly burned?
Suddenly it was as though the queen’s hand closed around Kim’dael’s neck, burning as hot as the sun itself. Kim’dael reeled back, screaming, the world turned red with pain. Her skin blistered. She could smell the charring of her own flesh.
She clawed at her neck and found a clasp of metal wrapping from her throat to the back of her neck, still molten, searing her flesh as it cooled. Kim’dael writhed with agony on the floor, swallowing pain and the taste of fire.
Seemingly unbreakable chains
“I did not lie. That collar claims you as mine, and as I told you, the dragons know better than to risk my wrath.” Aditi gestured to the thing around Kim’dael’s neck. “Forgiveness shall not come easily to one so stained with blood as you, Kim’dael. Not without a price. It is as you said: you will spend all of your remaining days repaying my mercy. You shall owe a mercy debt. A debt owed to me—and all my rightful heirs. [...] But know this: the binding around your neck—it is made with magic not unlike your own. It is a magic that demands, that takes. Kill me, and that binding will take you. It will tighten until the life is choked out of you forever.”
Being left on your knees?
But where Kim’Dael is always self serving and deceptive, Rayla is merciful and sincere/genuine. And it’s just -- aah it’s so good
I've been thinking about Haitham's chest gem and it's still very strange to me, bc it's literally not attached to his clothes. What is it??? do we even know?? was it ever mentionned anywhere? are we just ok with a random dude having a literal emerald on his pecs?? I need to study him under a microscope
