#WHY IS KEVIN HEAR

[bellenotthebeast]

Hello.

I want you to listen. Don’t scroll away because of the buzz word ‘Lando’.

Listen.

This has gone beyond hate for Lando. This about all the drivers.

This is about treating drivers respectfully. This is about your parasocial relationships with the drivers. This is about you reading into everything they say.

This is about the F1 media taking clips out of context because they don’t want a race they want a drama.

This is about you taking those clips and not bothering to find the original source, and taking it to fuel a hatred for someone you don’t know.

This is about you hating on a new driver because you miss the old one.

This is about you sending hate to fans of a driver you don’t like.

When I dislike something I scroll- I ignore, because it’s not worth my time. Why should I let the social media algorithm think I like the video because I watch it? I block a person I dislike. I don’t go onto their account and spend time out of my life to comment.

But unfortunately the amount of hate I’m seeing it’s getting hard to ignore it.

Haters and fans. Opposite end of the spectrum, still on the same spectrum.

You’re still thinking about the guy you supposedly hate. You talk about him under other driver related posts, you make it your entire personality.

You make it toxic.

The difference in drivers is what makes the sport fun. I’m friends with people who have other favourite drivers. What we do is we talk about the race. We talk about how their driver did really well and what mine could’ve done better. We have fun.

Because it’s the sport that bonds us.

I don’t send death threats to them. People have become so obsessed with other peoples lives and it shows.

A driver can’t say he feels lonely without getting jumped on for it. A driver gets asked his opinion after a high adrenaline race, one he feels he didn’t do well and he sounds a little bitter. Of course he’s going to. Yet you read into it.

He celebrates and you read into it.

And then dislike them when they decide not to do anything anymore.

You criticise them for the mistakes they’ve already owned up to and refuse to even acknowledge the good they’ve achieved.

New fans get scared to join because they worry everyone will hate them. Which kills the sport in turn.

Lando. Max. Every single driver on the grid do not know you. And you do not know them. You know of them. You do not know them.

You do not know what they do or who they are the moment they’re away from the cameras.

You do not need to like a driver. Nor do you need to dislike them. I don’t dislike drivers, I just have drivers I favour a bit more than others. Because why would I hate them?

I dislike some of the things they do- during the race. Of course. I’m bitter after a race doesn’t go well. I’m a fan of the sport.

But that’s as far as it goes.

I do not care for their personal life as it’s theirs, nor do I care for what minuscule thing they’ve done.

If you don’t feel called out, then good- I’m not talking about you. You’re the good ones. If you are feeling ‘attacked’ then perhaps it’s time to rethink what you want to spend limited time, that is your life, on.

We only have so many minutes in our lives to actually live. So live it. Don’t spend it on hating on others.

Good day/night. 😊

every time kevin does something morally questionable

ben&gwen: >;O KEVIN

[crudeoildistillation]

excited to draw haasbands while I try to draw the entire grid

[foxstens]

do you think kevin even likes exy

do you think being on the court gives him joy and makes him feel alive

or perhaps his feelings towards it are so complex they can't be categorized as either wholly 'positive' or wholly 'negative'

or perhaps it's just a fact of life. perhaps exy is the only thing that matters so much so that he's never stopped to wonder if he even likes it anymore

Kevin: You three, explain right now! Susie: It was Roy. Ross: It was Roy. Robert: It was Roy! Roy: Roy: …fuck.

accurate depiction of my relationship with Kevin

[radiohostkevin]

Wtnv ep 250 spoilers:

The episode felt...shallow. They didn't explore the emotional ties between any of the characters, even when it was plot relevant. Tamika raised the Boy for a year and didn't even say goodbye or try to save him from Lauren. Carlos knew Kevin for a full decade and they didn't so much as speak to each other.

Then Carlos severed the portal between the Desert Otherworld and Night Vale just like that? Where is the emotional weight behind that decision? Even from a scientific standpoint, there's so much about the Desert Otherworld that we don't know, and that connection was just kinda casually cut. (Even though, as an aside, Desert Bluffs Too hasn't been a threat to Night Vale for years - decades, from their perspective - and so it feels hasty to cut off access to an entire town as a precaution.) It feels like that storyline might be done, and it's such wasted potential if so.

Speaking of wasted potential - Lauren's departure, and her lackluster interactions with Kevin. A few vaguely mean words, and she decides to leave? Why? We're not given any insight. Kevin and Lauren's vaguely antagonistic relationships was fantastic, and even that received little fanfare in the end.

This arc could have ended in so many different ways, and it was ultimately so unsatisfying.

YEAHHH CODY COME GET YOUR MAN

[v0id-do0dles]

I LOVE WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE !!!!!!

I have changed my design for Kevin just a tad since I made this

Omg I just saw on my Instagram that I had just finished ep 38 when I finished this omgggg (I just finished ep 101 when I'm posting this on here lmao)

Also also the background is not by me - BUT I did change the Desert Bluffs one a bit so that they can match in style

THE FOLLOWING 3.05

[sternutaries]

Kevin Day is basically the Oikawa Tooru of aftg

shorter friend with severe anger issues

friend with an attitude problem

unapologetically pretty

like literally, will make you feel ugly without effort

still no game though (even though that's kind of a gray zone for Kevin but I was not buying that relationship, sorry not sorry)

QUEENS

definitely bisexual

kinda in denial about it until they look at that one friend they have again (decide for yourself who that is here)

actual geniuses in what they do

still overworking themselves though

guilt, guilt, guilt

kinda the ones who correct the teams techniques/coach the team but also end up being bullied (fair) by their team

have a tiny menace that follows them

deep down actually a mother hen

watch games in their free time to improve/due being forced to not be on court for once

high achiever don't you see~

[crazy-fangirl2524]

Kevin Day listens to classical music to fall asleep when he can’t (or to chase away nightmares)

[nspolaris]

read the sunshine court and have never been more impatient in needing a second book my god

[to-the-batcomputer]

i don't understand why they created one of the most compassionate yet still complex bruce waynes with the animated series and then turned him into an old bitch (/negative) in batman beyond

[mudstoneabyss]

my one complaint about how this arc ended. literally nothing came of watching the Sandstorm tape huh
