#after winning a championship

im gonna go out on a limb here and say that like. i get the frustration with how the world championship plot was handled overall, but at the same time i can’t quiiite blame the writers for struggling with these early bits especially considering ash is plopped right in the beginner class when he’s supposed to be a regional champion, so its hard to write episodes that are meant to build tension and have ash struggle to the top when he should probably be in the hyper class right away and have the audience naturally believe that it wont be anything but a cakewalk at this point
#and like yeahhh i get they couldve just. put him in hyper class. but i do get why they decided to go for all the ranks#bc then it shows off the world more and have ash connect with some more people#i think they just wrote themselves into a corner cause like its really awkward to have ash start at the bottom for narrative reasons#and they cant quite address the alolan elephant in the room#also ngl i dont think they knew what they wanted to do with ash in this season. which makes sense bc its the first season after#after winning a championship#that was always gonna be an awkward season to write bc right away you have to ask: what now? we cant just have ash lose the league again#and thats why i think goh is an equal protag to him and he tends to have a few more centric episodes this year#bc theres just more you can do with him bc hes so early in his journey#where with ash…. yknow. whats he gonna so. struggle against milo for a two parter and have us take that seriously?#echoed voice#jn lb#idk its just a hard thing to do and i think theres also some mandates involved and all that#we already know the jn production was an absolute mess in that last year so i wouldnt be shocked if it wasnt so smooth earlier as well

I just realized that with all the rookies entering the sport next year, Fernando Alonso will have been in F1 longer than 5 of his fellow drivers have been ALIVE
Alonso has more F1 experience than Piastri, Lawson, Doohan, Bearman, Antonelli, and Colapinto have life experience.
He will have spent more time in F1 than 25% of the grid have spent breathing. Bro really is HIM
#I can barely even comprehend the advantage this gives him like holy fuck#I hope he never retires this is getting funnier every fucking year#I need him to be like 46 years old and win a championship against a grid that’s like 50% born after he joined the sport lol#Fernando Alonso#formula one#formula 1#f1#Alonso

he may not realistically be in the battle for the drivers championship anymore, however that doesn’t at all minimise just how proud i am of all lando has achieved this season. 3 wins (including his maiden), 7 poles, 12 podiums, leading his team to first place in the constructors championship, securing the most points of any mclaren driver in history. and that’s just on track, off it i am immensely proud of his growth too, from being someone who always saw everything as glass half full and was always so hard on himself, to the way he now talks in interviews you can see his confidence and belief in his own abilities has come on so far (as it should). it’s so nice to see how far he’s come from the little boy who started out in f1 so many years ago. maybe this year wasn’t his for the championship but mark my words, his time will come.
#also the championship battle was always an unrealistic hope that got thrusted on him and us after he had *checks notes* got his maiden win#max was always the most likely candidate with how the start of the season went#and no lando didn’t bottle anything it wasn’t landos to lose it wasn’t easy for lando to win it and embarrassing because he didn’t manage#if you compare the grid mix up and different winner this year as opposed to the years max won previosly they are completely chalk and cheese#lando had tough competition week in and week out he didn’t just have to beet one driver and call it a day#he had lots of drivers in cars capable of getting a win#(not too mention his team on far too many times working against him or leaving him to fend for himself)#so the fact he was even in talks of being a contender for the championship is a win in itself#and when he does gets that championship it’s going to feel so good#it’s not if it’s when#lando norris

Lewis interview after the US Gran Prix 2015
oh the irony
"its not easy having me as teammate... in a FRIENDLY WAY I'M THE WORST TEAMMATE YOU CAN HAVE"
"...which is good thing FOR ME ;)))"
they're crazy
#brocedes#crazy lore#also to add context this is after Lewis win in the USA GP in 2015 and he's basically certain now he's gonna win the championship#lewis being able to praise Nico only when he's beating him#my little crazy neurotic man#he's insane#lewis pre 2018 was so expressive#the little FOR ME was super cute#nico rosberg#lewis hamilton#The NARRATIVE

Every time I think I have it bad as an oscar fan, I remember I could be a max fan. At least my guys only enemy is his team (and his quali performances). Max has the entire world and then some against him
#said with much love and affection#hope max wins the championship this year#he deserves to after this year#max verstappen#oscar piastri#f1

look i am not a lando norris fan at all but for the lando fans pls have SOME decorum we're all stressed about the race coming up, we all have our favorite drivers that we want to win I get it, this is a crucial part of the race. At least on my views, i don't want Lando to crash or DNF like yeah it would help max but i wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy so at the same time stop wishing it for max, dont wish that for any driver imo because that's childish and rude on top of all this, lemme clarify max will NOT try to crash into lando on purpose (ive been seeing posts like that)... i fear people keep forgetting that max has matured a lot more than people give him credit for. He raced clean in Brazil, the worst he's done as of late was his classic pushing them off track limits move but any other driver would do the exact same thing at the moment in order to secure their championship. at the end of the day, it's so funny how a number of people that the drivers have never met will go on long rants to tear down another driver. I have my thoughts about lando, I get mad too and I say stuff not ONLINE where others can read. i think we all need to calm down keep our thoughts in our head and if your argument is "b-b-but other people are - but other people are doing it they're saying mean stuff!" THEN BE THE BETTER PERSON??? dont stoop to their level thats all i wanna say at the end of the day youre not their parents, youre not their gf/bf, youre not even an acquaintance... you are a person on tumblr... that they don't know... dont defend them to death, dont whine about them to death just watch the damn race, pray your driver does well and if they say or do something wrong accept that they did something wrong and move on with your life thats literally it ok im done ranting lol (i mightve gone crazy in the tags lol)
#f1#formula 1#las vegas gp 2024#brazil gp 2024#lando norris#max versatppen#charles leclerc#carlos sainz#the hate is getting out of hand#yeah i was going through a bunch of anti tags#and came across anti norris and anti verstappen tags#im at fault for looking through the anti norris tags when im upset after a race#i accept what i did was wrong there#but the stuff you all say about max and lando#chill tf out#“i hope verstannies get triple bad stuff” like girl bsfr go outside and touch grass#embarrassing#like actually embarrassing#“i hope lando DNFs” also embarrassing#all of us are fault here#all of us want some driver to DNF for our favorite driver to win#its a thought we can't stop#but posting it online and acting like its the word of God or something#acting like because you said that#your favorite driver is going to win or that everything will be much better#please seek therapy i beg#ik its like freedom of speech you can say what you want but at least think before you post????#this las vegas race is so crucial not just because of the championship but because i know tumblrs going to be in a blaze in a couple hours#and i know theres gonna be so much hate online like bro#cheeto bits

casey/vale early 2008 was so funny like you had valentino acting as if he'd won the lottery when he finished p2/p3 at jerez/estoril and then casey looks like he's about to be the last victim of the black death when getting a p3 in shanghai. complete vibes mismatch. partially conditioned by where the other one finished in those respective races question mark
#casey after winning qatar: that was all right ig#valentino after winning shanghai: I Am Going To Fuck This Bike On Live TV#'that's just their personalities' no this is extreme i promise you. both valentino's ecstasy and casey's grumpiness#//#brr brr#heretic tag#in casey's case i think his reaction wasn't like that because of valentino's result... he was pissed off by shanghai whoever wins#in valentino's case DEFINITELY like casey had that man SPOOKED. as long as casey isn't running away with the title it's all good#valentino had crazyyy rivalry tunnel vision in 2008 man he was so casey-pilled irrespective of championship picture#theyre literally p3 p4 in the championship coming out of shanghai four races into the season like they are FLOPS

2007, conference finals phoenix vs san antonio
#politely i'm obsessed#also so the first gif is from essentially the game clinching play#there's a minute and a half left pho are ahead 89 to 85 [they've won the first game in the series if they win this they are through#to the championship. the game has been up and down with sas going on runs and one girl hitting 4 threes in the first#cappie pondexter winds down the shot clock penny sets a screen to let her through#all the sas run to cappie which leaves penny open for 3#she makes it she's fouled and 1#that first gif is right after she makes the shot and the whistle blows#then she makes the free throw phoenix mercury are up by 8 and sas has to foul for the last minute of play#i am also obsessed with their big 3 being 3 13 and 23#also that this is cappie's second year in the league and she is the reason they won this game#and she wins finals mvp#this footage well the first one is from the measly 1 minute and 48 second penny taylor highlight from the wnba#and the second one which is from the same game but not in the bootleg video on youtube is in an edit from inside the bun#which has in the description free diana so i can only assume it's from the modafinil situation but i cannot find that footage anywhere#it's actually unfortunate bc the merc used to like before youtube was big post video exclusives to their website#and not everything has been preserved#i have to go on the internet archive because i think there might be more there#it's where i see all the old late night clips that aren't on youtube#so and ik im yapping here that's why it's in the tags the way i figured out where the last one was from#was i cross checked getty images for the 2007 and 2009 playoffs#and there's an image of cappie you can see her in like the first frame talking to then gm annie meyers drysdale who now calls the games#diana taurasi#penny taylor

constantly thinking about charles' monaco win and how special it felt, not just due to his brilliance that weekend, but also knowing his history of "curses" and "bad luck" which was the narrative held by everyone at the time. how relieving it must have felt for charles to stand on the top step of monaco after years of despair and built-up desperation.
hearing his voice break in the radio and the subtle hitched, shaky breath after screaming in joy, knowing he cried in the last laps- monaco will always move me tbh. the guy is just pure emotion when he wins.
every time we get a stinker race, i just mentally add points to the "happiness scale" i'll be feeling for when he gets another win, for when the quality of his drives match his results. i just know that if this gets worse, it will be so worth it in the end.
i celebrated his monaco win like he won the championship to be honest because that's how happy i felt, i can't imagine how i'll feel when this man wins a championship. a championship in red would be the greatest dream of all fulfilled.
i think i'll be bursting at the seams with euphoria it'll send me into cardiac arrest.
#this is why i can't bring myself to let go of this charles x ferrari partnership for the world championship dream yet#apart from the less sentimental reasons#all the races after monaco were absolute hell#but the next time he wins i'll be thinking about these moments#and how happy i'll be that i never stopped supporting him!!#if there is anything ferrari is teaching me it's the virtue of patience#scuderia ferrari#charles leclerc#monaco gp 2024

If i see one more stupid take how Lando doesn't have a championship mentality and Oscar does and is a better driver and that mclaren should focus on him instead*
#*instead AS IF all their focus is solely on lando#Are we watching the same races#They literally wanted to sacrifice lando AGAIN to gift pisstree a second “win”#I literally had a screaming and crying fit after this one#What even IS a championship mentality at this point like enlighten me because as of now you repeated those words over and over again#Like parrots that it lost all meaning#You made it a trend and something that's not even relevant any more

it’s so hard being a scott smajor fan because on one hand I want him to win, on the other he simply stays winning too much
#I’m not even shocked when he wins anymore#this is also inspired by me months ago watching one stream of his after not going on twitch for like a year#and it’s a little mini tournament with a shit ton of people#this man comes first#I am not even remotely surprised#scott smajor#smajor1995#traffic smp#trafficblr#life series#bc this is also about that#minecraft championships#mcc
