the theerapanyakul kids: how close are you with each other?

loan’s kinnporsche 2nd anniversary: favourite familial relationship: the theerapanyakul kids (insp: ½+½)

[httpiastri]

hope we all know that this isn't just any paul aron who we're gonna see as the f1 reserve next year…

it's the paul who's been in love with racing ever since he was a baby, who wanted to race just so he could grow up to be like his brother. the paul who travels around to support his brother or his team even when he's got a weekend off.

it's the paul who finished third in his first-ever season of formula 3, who was in the fight for the title up until the last round (and would've had a much better chance if not for the team's mistake in spa).

it's the paul who fit so well into the mercedes profile, who expressed his gratitude to the team and their work whenever he could, who fought so hard to make them proud.

it's the paul who was always going to be put behind kimi in toto wolff's eyes, no matter how well he performed.

it's the paul who had to leave everything he had grown up with, his team of many years, his close friends and staff members, and move on. who had to let go of everything he knew from before and go alone.

it's the paul who went into his first full formula 2 season with hopes and dreams instead of expectations; who said he was there to learn and grow, and then he would see where that would take him.

it's the paul who failed to get into the top ten in qualifying for the first round of the 2024 season, but still managed a p5 in the sprint – and a podium in the feature, despite a time penalty, and got to celebrate in parc ferme with his brother and trainer.

it's the paul who, as a rookie, went onto the podium every round in the first seven rounds. who's been consistent like few others in a series (and team) known for its inconsistency.

it's the paul who never forgets to credit and thank his family, team and trainer, acknowledging that every success is thanks to a team effort – and that even if things don't go as well as planned, the team still did their best to help him out.

it's the paul who thanks to his determination and hard work managed to impress his f2 team principal, oliver oakes, so much that the latter thought "i need this guy on my team" when he became the alpine f1 principal.

it's the paul who fights every setback with an attitude of revenge instead of hopelessness; despite everything he's been through, he never gives up. he wants to prove everyone wrong.

it's the paul who turns every heartbreak – from mechanical failures to tactical missteps – into fuel for his fire. it's the paul who reminds us that success isn't a straight line; success is the product of unwavering determination and the courage to keep going.

it's a paul who's learned so much, grown so much stronger; who's been through so many hardships and said "you know what? i'm going to learn from this and come out stronger on the other side", and that's exactly what he did. i'm so proud to have gotten to follow him on this journey, and i can't wait to see where this next chapter of his life will lead him.

our paul aron. 💙

Woke up this morning thinking about Macau and Chay and their reluctant proximity in the Main House after canon happens. No one knows why Chay’s dropped out of school but Macau finds out. He finds out and he feels just a bit jealous because everyone around him has someone, and he feels just a bit sad because Chay did have someone and now Kim’s gone.

He does his best to help Chay move on. They develop hobbies together. Movies. Gaming. Chay even starts writing music again. He admits to Macau that he used to write little notes on cute stationary paper for Kim and now doesn’t know what to do with the other 100 sheets. So Macau teaches him how to fold the notes into little shapes so he can write and put them away, like Pete taught him. (Something something, Pete is a father and brother and mentor figure, Pete is just perfect)

Somewhere along the line, Macau sees how Kim is pining just as badly for Chay. He convinces Chay to hear Kim out. It’s not easy for anyone; Chay is confused, Kim is broken, and Macau is watching his friend leave him behind. But Macau, who’s always been a smidge selfish, finds himself okay with that. It’s okay to be left behind because Chay and Kim can be happy. He just hopes it’ll be him one day.

He and Chay spend another day folding notes. Chay folds a really simple flower and says he’s going to be honest today, with everyone: Kim, Porsche, etc. Macau watches him write I love you into another purple note before folding it into another flower. He should feel sad. He’s not.

Days later, Macau is only beginning to make his peace with Chay going back to Kim. But it’s okay because Chay still hangs out with him. Kim does too. It’s like they’re inseparable, and Macau feels safe. He wonders if Kim’s just putting up with him but Kim has a way of making Macau feel like he’s not alone, not the forgotten son of this family. He and Kim go out for smoothies and judge the Thai Top 10 weekly singles. Kim picks him up from school and even pays a visit to Vegas when Macau wants to switch faculties. Whatever their new bond is, Macau is grateful because he doesn’t quite know what love is, but this is very close to that. At least he has his friend and his family.

Macau thinks he’s fine until Chay shows up at his dorm room, the folded purple flower from weeks ago, in his hand, telling him that he needs to be honest with Macau too. Macau breaks down, sobbing. It isn’t right, it’s not supposed to be him. And he’s so scared. He’s so scared that Kim’s gonna be mad. That if Chay stays a minute longer, he’s going to lose his best friend and his cousin all at once. He cries so hard that he wants to throw up, but it’s Chay soothing him. It’s Chay, and then it’s Kim, and it’s them, and Macau doesn’t know how it’s supposed to be but for the first time in his life, he knows it’ll work out just fine.

EDIT: This is officially a fic now!

Well then. That was unexpected.

where everything is the same except Macau and Kim are trans. Kim is FTM but likes to fuck with gender (in true Jeff style). WIK is an open lgbt supporter and supports lgbt youth charities but is not open as trans (cause wik was formed after he had transitioned and he just enjoyed being seen as male and completely forgot to mention that he had been born in the wrong body).

Kim is the mafia son who was a daughter and who’s only future was to be sold into marriage alliances. That would explain so much about Kim’s alienation from his family. He moved out as soon as he could and got everything changed, name, legal identity. He got surgery and testosterone. Tankhurn helped with that. Also he and Macau vibe every so often for complaining sessions. He helped Macau get access to good medical care.

Nothing about the plot changes. Kim completely forgets to tell Chay (he’s so comfortable in himself to see it as a thing that needs brought up). Until one day they’re changing together and Kim pulls his packet from his trousers and Chay goes brain dead. 😂

sometimes i remember how underutilized macau was in kinnporsche and i start vibrating bc like,, the one person vegas is kind to. the one person he's trying to protect. foils to the kittisawat brothers. the one arguably innocent member of the theerapanyakun family and the most hated one. you've got a great setup for family dynamics in the fucked-up-family-cycles-of-abuse-daddy-issues show and you do NOTHING with it. i have so much to say but the point is i am MAD

[joongdunking]

I like me better when I'm with you ❤️

kpanniversary2024, prompt 4: Tension

"It's not your choice, Macau." The noise Macau makes with his mouth rings like a gunshot in Vegas' ears. His eyes widen as he stares at his brother's flustered face. His nostrils flare. Macau is wearing his anger like an armor made of rusty metal on his skin. He thinks it protects him, keeps him safe, when all it does is reveal all his weak spots to the enemy. Presumed enemy, in this case. Pete is not - could not - be an enemy of his in the first place. Not even when he was the main family's guard dog. He was a fool. In a way, he still is. Vegas is afraid to look at him. He does it, regardless. Saliva is trickling down Pete's forehead, down the path formed by the creases of his furrowed eyebrows, down the curve of his nose, almost but not quite missing his pursed lips. He is standing by the kitchen table completely still, statue-like. His eyes are closed. His body is tense. He looks like he's about to start crying, or screaming, or both. He does neither. He just opens his eyes, slowly, and stares at Macau with an unreadable expression; another kind of armor, equally rusty and ineffective. He doesn't wipe the spit off his face. "Who do you think you are to say that to me?" Macau yells, unperturbed by what he did. Vegas's breath hitches. He has to intervene, somehow. Say something to stop this madness from continuing, salvage any of the last, remaining pieces of his broken family. He has to- "You're not my brother, so stop acting like it!" "Macau!" He's too late. Pete's face crumbles. He lowers his head to hide it, but Vegas can still see it, can still see Pete's bottom lip quivering, his shoulders shaking. He wants to hit himself. It wouldn't solve anything, fuck, it'd make everything worse, but he can't help seeking the familiar sting a slap would provide. A punch, even more so. He gets pulled out of his thoughts by Pete whispering something he doesn't catch. It's an easy guess to make. For a moment, Vegas thinks the bullets that had pierced his torso all those months ago had hurt less. Macau says nothing and runs away to his room.

🥮Mid-Autumn Fes '24

featuring MACAU!! HONG KONG!! CHINA AND TAIWAN!!

also Cotai and Portugal appearance now eat ur mooncakes comrades and EAT IT eat IT (this is on ao3 also but i wanted to post it here)

I decided not to add china and taiwan to the tags list since this kind of leans to the countryhumans side; and that iirc china in hetalia is a man and taiwan's a female but its reversed here. Nonetheless enjoy THE MOONCAKES and if ur a hetalian pretend this is like a different universe

not beta read!!1 Im so sorry

I yawned as I played my cards with Cotai and then grabbed my wine cup, of which was filled with juice and then chugged it. “ When’s Portugal coming? “ Cotai asked and I just shrugged. “ He probably forgot about me, “ I said and then put down a card.

At the same time the doorbell rang. So I set down my cup as the remaining juice sloshed in it and then got off the ground, and opened the door quickly but not too harshly. Then I blinked at the person in front of me—Portugal.

“ Ah, Macau my amigo! “ Portugal gave me a grin and patted me on the shoulder. I looked at his hand, and then to his face. “ Portugal, “ I just sputtered out.

“ Yeah? “ He looked into the room and I swear Cotai waved at him. “ Tell me if China’s being a terrible mom, I’ll take you back if she does. “

I shook my head and just gave a smile of relief. “ No, no, she isn't. I’m just surprised and happy that you’re here. “ Then I looked back to see Cotai running over and shoving a mooncake into Portugal’s hands.

“ Eat it, “ He said with a grin and then fixed his socks. He’s a messy kid.

“ Alright, alright. Now you kids have fun, happy.. “ Portugal looked around awkwardly. " Mid-Autumn Festival. Right, have fun! “ He said as he waved, and then turned around to run off.

Then I just shook my head and watched him disappear into the streets, and then closed the door. Unfortunately China was in the kitchen earlier and she took some osmanthus wine out from the fridge, walked down to the coffee table me and Cotai sat earlier, and set it down with a few cups. “ Cotai, you don't drink this, okay? “

He just gave a reluctant nod and looked at me before running out of the house. I went to the floor and sat on it, my legs curled up in front of me. “ Hong Kong should be back and Taiwan’s in his room. “

And then Taiwan looked out from his room, to the wine and at China. “ I love that. But not you. “ He stepped out in a changshan and then sat next to her on the couch, as she was wearing a cheongsam.

I sighed and looked around, the three of us waiting for Hong Kong to show up any moment. “ Of course you don't, “ China crossed her arms as she looked down on me.

“ What? “ I looked up at her. “ Aren't we supposed to wait for him to come back— “

“ —And look who’s late. “ Taiwan chuckled as he looked at the door, Hong Kong coming in and ruffling his hair. “ You should be punctual. “

He rolled his eyes and closed the door by kicking it. Not too harsh. “ Yeah, yeah whatever.. “ He took off his shoes and then scrambled over to me, nearly making me fall down. I nudged him on the shoulder and he gave a grin.

“ So sorry, now whatever. “ He looked at the wine bottle and the cups as China filled them slowly. “ We drink? “

“ Yes, “ China said after finishing pouring the fourth and last cup. She took a cup herself as the other three of us did.

“ But are we not drinking our lives away? “ Hong Kong asked and I just chuckled. “ We are but.. it doesn't matter. “

“ Now, “ Taiwan said and then raised his cup. “ Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all of you. “

And so we clinked our cups, and drank our life away as my brother said, and then admired the moon. It didn't really matter. And ate mooncakes. And I wish all of you readers.. a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

The pressure of the rbjt gets removed and suddenly Dennis gets top 10 in quali, a p4 in the sprint, and p7 today. Getting a double points finish and a decent quali has been like striking gold this year
