#Not saying Daniel is perfect

[thebrokenpapergirl]

IWTV Book Spoilers (Kind of)

The thing I love about having a second interview, and an older, human Daniel Molloy, is that it gives book readers (like myself) the priviledge of watching the older Daniel (as he is later presented in the books) interacting with all these characters in a way I wish they had shown more in the book series.

The Daniel that is no longer starstruck, horrified or in awe of these vampires doesn't get as much interaction with them later on as I feel like he should have. Also, I love having the experienced Daniel now giving criticism and pushback to this story. Young Daniel lacked the cynicism and skepticism of someone who has truly lived through some shit.

I still hope they keep the storyline of him getting the Dark Gift then dealing with everything that comes with it (i.e losing his mind).

Daniel Molloy is lowkey the best vampire in the Vampire Chronicles.

wondering if daniel ever read back through iwtv and came across armand telling louis this (or if he could just remember hearing it) and wanted to jump off a bridge because of how much it fueled his "i'm nothing but a toy to him" complex

I will fall in love with you (over and over again)

@phandomgiftexchange present for @notsosaucystuff

Ngl I saw they liked dnp and EPIC so have an Odyssey/Epic au. I don't really have an idea of who's who or anything (tho I think this would make the Pheal Telemachus lmao). Odypen and Phan are my relationship goals so this fits somehow

One aspect of Kenji's character that I wish had been touched on and expanded more is his listening talent.

The man caught on to Brooklynn's favorite color being yellow. I know he gained a particular fondness for her, but it would have been neat to have him subtly pick up on everyone's preferences and unintentionally find his gift: knowing what people love and providing what he can.

desperately trying to wrangle thoughts w @mecachrome about how Team Torque was an immediate like <3 of how Oscar goes right back to that beloved 'I'm permanently sarcastic bc I like you, mate' Oscar from F2 and Alpine content. bc Logan ofc but also Alex bc sarcasm being Alex's entire love language and he was always destined to be friends w Oscar <3

but it's also added to mountain of evidence that Oscar initially tried the same approach w Lando but it never rly felt right ?? Lando has that dynamic w a lot of friends but somehow w Oscar just no ??

and sometime between Silverstone (the waist grab !) and Austin (the content !) Oscar decided to just go ahead and let the 8+ year Thing fully out on his face and out of his eyeballs and stare as much as he wanted - and like instead of finding it weird or funny Lando just :3 and was like yes this fits just right and also it turned Oscar from pretty intimidatingly talented and put-together teammate to one of Lando's Safe Place People bc Oscar pays close attention to Lando and is patient w Lando

and maybe that's why we all comment that it feels like we're intruding a lot of the time we get content of them together bc their form of bonding was an interlinked flavor of weird unique to themselves - not unlike moving to a new neighborhood and the local outdoor cat choosing to spend so much time at your place that you gladly buy them food and bowls and a bed and eventually they just move in completely and you never felt so special <3

well YOUR driver is just as bad as the rest sayin whats happening at red bull doesn't concern him

bet you feel like an idiot for calling out daniel now

Um... I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you do not speak French and got duped by that tweet’s sensationalist headline. As it happens, I do - so let me help you out:

Interviewer: "There is another element that could play in your favour, which is the mood at Red Bull is deteriorating whether we want it or not. With everything that happened, [in Ferrari] you are more relaxed. At some point of the season, this can play a part?" Charles: "Yes, but it's not... I just want to win fair and square on the track and to reach that goal, we have to focus on ourselves and try to understand what are the things to improve on the car. On this, we are fully focused on what we need to do, on our weaknesses and the weaknesses of the car. But as I've already said in Bahrain, we are very clear on what we need to improve on the car, and we are in a positive spiral with the team these days. Since the second part of last season, we really identified where we need to work and we saw immediate improvements and we need to do the same now." 🎥: RTBF Sport

First of all, the question itself is pretty distasteful. Sexual harassment allegations and workplace safety for women shouldn't be parsed down to "hey, do you think you can take advantage of this to drive faster than Red Bull?!" What a terrible, insensitive way to frame this whole situation.

As for Charles' answer, I'm not going to say it's the best answer in the world. Could he have used the opportunity to acknowledge the greater problem of sexual harassment and the safety of women working in F1? Absolutely, he could have done better. But he answered the question that he was asked, which was does he think the controversy surrounding Red Bull can be used to his advantage. He essentially said "no, I'd rather beat them fair and square by being the best team." At no point did he actually say "that stuff doesn't concern me." Nor did he call it "a lot of noise and distractions" and wish for all of this to "slowly go away" and praise Red Bull for how they are handling it.

Ok, imagine,

It’s the morning after Max’s housewarming party in Monaco, he’s invited basically the whole grid, and most of them come. Everyone gets horribly drunk and many just pass out in his apartment instead of going home. Max has planned for this, and everybody has blankets and things. He has also planned for the morning after, for which I have though if two equally funny scenarios I think. Either he’s hired a mismatched group of musicians including someone on the bagpipes, accordion, trumpet, etc. the grid wakes up to chaos and max filming it all on his phone. Someone fell off a chair. Or, he has hired a classical band or choir, and the grid wakes up to an ensemble in full concert blacks and playing it as if they were in a theatre. He is still filming it.

okay i'm really vibing with this season of rings of power so far, just spent three and a half hours watching the new episodes that dropped and i'm loving the darker tone, the faster pacing, and getting to see sauron out and about manipulating people

reminder that you can’t “separate the art from the artist” with the 1975. matty healy is his art. you are literally listening to him as a person through his music. also the 1975 is a whole ass band put some respect on george adam and ross
