#and thank you! i really like this nico pfp!

[keepthedelta]

since this is the delta help desk, I have come to you once again to dip into your vast swathe of motorsport knowledge.

I've seen a lot of pictures of Nico from his early years in the sport and read a lot of articles where he is described as good looking, handsome, blonde etc and have heard some discussions where pre dts f1 fans have called him the og pretty boy, and charles' predecessor etc. I wanted to understand the cultural hype around Nico in his early years? Like the current f1 fandom is very americanised and charles definitely enjoys the fruits of being good looking. Did Nico have something similar? Like fans emphasizing their love for Nico because of how pretty he is, giving him an almost pop idol sort of worship. I understand that f1 had a smaller fan base back then and it was more men that women probably so this sort of talk was probably frowned upon. But did Nico drive people un poco loco, essentially? Would love your thoughts.

Side note: the nico pfp is soooo darling and the photoset you reblogged of him carrying his little daughter on his shoulder where she is holding onto his ear with her chubby baby hand...... sewercideeeee

oh this is kind of a hard one. i feel like the most accurate and honest answer i can give you is no. and yes. which is very irritating of me, but bear with me.

the culture around f1 was massively different back then, both when nico first started and when he left. the audience was smaller and mostly male, and information about the drivers and their personalities was extremely limited, mostly due to FOM rules regulating what behind the scenes stuff teams and drivers could post. most of the "fun" content and insight that teams can do now was only done through the broadcasters like sky, the bbc, espn etc.

the other main source of information about drivers i would say was tabloids. and certain drivers like jenson button, kimi raikkonen and to a slightly lesser (or different) extent lewis hamilton became very famous because of them. michael schumacher was a god of racing, and lewis had the whole young prodigy dating an american popstar thing, but even before jenson and kimi won their championships they were very well known for drinking and partying and dating lots and lots of very beautiful women, some famous, some not. it was a bit more rockstar than popstar i guess, where the extremes of the life, the heavy drinking, the hard partying, the fast driving, the beautiful women were seen as aspirational for the mostly male audience.

and nico never really fit into that. he did the drinking and partying, but away from the cameras usually, and his awkwardness and resting bitch face made people think that he was boring and stuck up. he was also so steadfastly loyal to vivian, who seems like his only real relationship (they began dating at 18 and people who worked with nico back in the junior formulas said that he never brought girls round other than her) in an era where cheating was so widespread and normalised that some fans speculated about his sexuality, suggesting that vivian was a beard and he was actually gay (he was also close with lewis, adrian sutil and nelson piquet jr who also all had speculation over their sexualities so i think that was part of it as well).

i think there was some pop idol-ism in women's treatment of nico back in the day. when he was in formula bmw as the most aggressively blonde 17 year old in existence he was sponsored by viva, which i believe was the german version of mtv, and i think more broadly the whole formula bmw championship was promoted on that channel, making the racers relatively popular with the teenage girls of germany. i also remember seeing an interview nico and some of the other drivers like romain grosjean did (i think in canada 2013 but i can't be sure) where a couple of women in the audience said they were there to see nico because he was so pretty. and if you go into some of the old reddit threads on f1 there are some comments about how pretty nico is and can you blame the camera operator for zooming in so the audience can count his eyelashes? (i believe reddit's consensus was no, you can't blame the camera operator).

i think one of the major differences (other than the different fan cultures) between nico's early years and charles's early years is that charles was promoted to ferrari almost immediately while nico was stuck outdriving fairly terrible cars. one of the reasons why charles has such a large fanbase is because he's driving for a top team, has done so for a long time, and is hailed (rightly or wrongly) as a future world champion. nico never really had any of that hype. he had moments of brilliance in his early years and outdrove all of his cars and teammates (i know mark webber beat him in the head to head in nico's first year but he beat everyone else), but the williams was at best a midfield car and so the hype wasn't really there in the way it has been for charles at ferrari. i think it's also fair to say that as well as nico did in his early career, he was overshadowed by lewis coming into mclaren and immediately challenging for a championship. maybe things would have been different if nico had been able to accept the mclaren seat in 2008, but ultimately he got very few opportunities to show his talent in his early career. and in an era where fandom gravitated either to the challengers (michael, kimi, fernando, lewis) or the playboys (kimi, jenson) nico didn't really fit either mould.

i also think we have to acknowledge the negativity that surrounded nico throughout his career, largely because of his looks. i (and f1blr more broadly) joke a lot about nico causing sexuality crises throughout the paddock, and while it is a joke, i do think there was a lot of very genuine homophobia (and misogyny) directed at nico, especially in his early career. while other drivers, like jenson for example, were thought of as good looking, it was in an aspirational way (aspirational for women to have in a partner and aspirational for men to be, and therefore to get women), whereas nico was viewed as attractive in a "feminine" way, which was seen as the wrong way. he was too pretty, too conscious about it, too effeminate. the britney nickname, fans constantly calling him barbie as an insult, the most attractive woman in the paddock vote where someone (pretty sure nico has said it was seb) voted for him, it was all based in a perception of him as "womanly" and therefore "weak". he was good-looking in a way that men couldn't fantasise about being, because they associated him too heavily with the people, usually women, that they wanted to fuck.

as much as people like to talk about how feral men are for charles now, it is largely in a positive way. when men talked about nico being pretty it was in a derogatory way, rooted in the culture of the time, which was generally quite homophobic and misogynistic. i think he did drive them crazy, but not necessarily in a good way 🤷🏿‍♀️

FEH - Finally got the first merge on Hoshidan Summer Micaiah + appreciation post

With [Hall of Forms] now finished and all the rewards obtained, I can now rest at ease forgetting it, so I went to [Forging Bonds] and just got the last [Divine Codes: Ephemera 8] to give Micaiah her well earned merge, and here it is, her RES bane is no more.

While I don't see her often in [AR-D], I've come to understand why she's a good option here: she fills a very unique niche as a refresher with min-maxed attack and resistance that deals effective damage on armored and cavalry units, she aged really well as a unit despite her having one of the lowest BST values of her class but her refine will eventually come out and make her outstanding, I'll wait for it before I invest too much in her.

Anyway, this is not what I appreciate Micaiah, so I'll tell you a little story below and sum up my reasons, there'll be minor spoiler warnings and it's a tad too extensive but I hope you'll find it an interesting read if you do look on it.

I've known about her ever since I started to play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn after I got my black Wii back in 2015 for my birthday and unlocked it to sideload USB games some time after, but it took me a little to feel like trying it and get it running, I used to be a guy that just trained whoever seemed likeable enough from looks so that I could get on, not as attentive with the plot of every game I play as I am now, but I've started to change that around the time I've started Final Fantasy VIII on the second half of 2019, a game that was truly legendary and emotional Imo.

This is more or less how I've come to known her, but I want to share what sparked interest on me for her:

It took me exactly two weeks to realize I wanted her so badly, it helped that when Lilina was announced, I'd need a [Feh Pass] subscription for just this month, and I got it with help from a friend, to date, I'm still grateful to that user for the support and for us to continue upholding a strong bond.

In any case, when the time came, I realized how charming this skin was, it's one of the best we've gotten, the Hel thematic looks wonderful on her (what a delightful blend of colors and precise styling by Sachie, same person that made the art for Legendary Julia and Sara, yes, more favs 💜) and the art is overall just too good but the best piece out of the four is the normal one I think, and I'll explain why while covering my favorite part of character talking: personality.

Micaiah is a kind and caring girl towards those she holds dear, specially the people of the country she eventually leads as a queen: Daein, located in the Tellius continent.

«I don't really like crowds. Sometimes, I sneak off to the forest to catch a break. I'm guessing the guiding hand of this army might need a break, too!»

— Micaiah: Priestess of Dawn, Fire Emblem Heroes.

She also has a bit of a bitter side but that's not how she normally comes off, yet, this doesn't come out without a reason, she was born a Branded (a human born from a human and laguz unity that end up getting a special power and an irremovable brand somewhere in their body, highly discriminated in Tellius), she had to hide her brand to anyone but her closest friends like Sothe so that she's not mistreated.

She's highly capable of selflessness, symbolized through that power she's gotten: [Sacrifice], it heals the target's wounds at the cost of her life force, she can recover just fine, but it exhausts her in return. This has allowed her to heal without staves and get the recognition from her people in Daein, like when she was first fleeing Begnion forces in Nevassa (capital city of Daein) while repelling bandit attacks, the citizens blocked the path when Micaiah and the Dawn Brigade (it's a group she leads to liberate her country) flee, but before she could escape, she sensed danger, and spotted a young guy being hurt from an arrow a Begnion soldier shot to a child named Nico, who would remember Micaiah's act of kindness for nursing him back to health almost instantly.

There were some times in which Micaiah also had to make really tough decisions, for example: Ike's army was tasked by Apostle Sanaki of Begnion to escort her to her country as they were trying to uncover the vile senate's acts, they had to pass through Daein territory, but because of a [Blood Pact] (a contract that enforces its signer's obedience to avoid a greater catastrophe) that Pelleas (that's the former king of Daein's son) signed under the false pretention that was a peace treaty the senate proposed. Micaiah had to hinder Ike's army advancement to see if she can trick the Begnion senate so she sent her soldiers to fight for that... she wanted to give time to Pelleas so that he could find a way to remove the effects from the [Blood Pact], as they couldn't just be removed normally. She had to make those sacrifices all because of a contract, and she couldn't even just tell Ike that she was forced to follow orders, the attacks from Daein forces didn't make much sense to him naturally. It was her people or her soldiers, so she had to make such decisions that tested her willpower, yet she's strong at heart and carried out with the orders she was given.

In Fire Emblem Heroes, she doesn't talk much about those events, but that's because she wishes to be free from the chains of past days, even if for a moment, she shows a friendly personality towards the Summoner and still being herself. She became queen of Daein and led her people to an age of prosperity, welcoming both laguz and human alike.

Now, all this and more things you'd learn as you play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (or may remember from your playthroughs) show how strongly developed and compelling she is as a character, there's a lot going in her life and she lived many difficult moments, yet she got through and grew into a kind and strong-willed woman, she truly impressed me, and I think she's truly pretty, like, I mean:

(Artwork from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Memorial Book Tellius Recollection: The Second Volume)

I won't deny that the Resplendent skin is magnificent and gave me the last push-up to play her home game after a long time and learn more about her, but I could see what kind of character she is and what makes her truly special... true, she's not my "best girl" (see PFP) but I still hold her dear as if she was almost high up there. And it's said that "nothing beats the original", so I certainly love her original design.

Here's a little showcase of the other two variants of her I have, I'm missing only her Bridal alt and the possible Legendary one coming later in this month, but here are them:

I love all her official art and how it manages to bring out her friendliness and tender side.

I'm so glad that so far, I've lucked out well with her IVs save her Hoshidan Summer alt, and she appeared randomly when pulling for others most of the time, so it's great to have her now, even as-is.

Her Brave variant from 2019 should be getting a refine next month or any time for the remainder of 2021, I know it'll be good but I would already love to know what it'll do before I give her anything else.

...

And here ends my appreciation post and optional read, if you've made it this far, thank you so much for reading, it means a lot to me if you've come to enjoy it.

Tumblr Tag Game

I was tagged by @sunshine-ricciardo 🥰🥰 Thank you my love!!

1. Why did you choose your url?

As a kid, Nico Rosberg was the only thing that held my interest in F1 while my parents watched it every weekend. He’s remained one of my favorite figures in motorsport over the years, and I’ve always found the way merc fans tend to deny his existence kinda hilarious. However cruel the moniker, he’s always sorta been the other mercedes driver—affectionately, of course.

2. Any side blogs?

Yes! Technically this is a side blog, but it really is the main one I use. My others are:

@theothermercedesdriver-main - which I follow and like from

@eventuallyeden - my nsfw blog 👀

@everythingstarwars - my old Star Wars blog that I don’t really use anymore

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Oh gosh not very long... since maybe April 2020?

4. Do you have a queue tag?

I do- #how do you spell queue- for self-explanatory reasons.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Well I joined F1blr a couple weeks after getting into F1, when I realized a lot of my friends didn’t know much about it— I wanted to have a place to interact with people who do!

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

For a while now my blog has had an almost-monochromatic, black/white/red color scheme, which I just love for the gothic vibes, and because Charles is almost always photographed in one of those three hues. This photo shoot of his is one of my favorites and I thought this picture captured a really great moment, with him looking different than he does in almost any other picture. I’ll change it from time to time, but for now I’m very happy with it.

7. Why did you choose your header?

I just thought this clip of Charles was absolutely gorgeous. It turns all the thoughts in my head into pretty boy pretty boy pretty boy

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

Probably… Be Kind to Drivers? I wrote it back in the early stages of discovering F1, when I had a lot of faith in who the drivers were as people. My perspective has changed since then, but I’m glad I wrote it, because sometimes I’ll look back and remember those really giddy, excited days and remind myself why I love this sport.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

Honestly I have no idea and I have no idea how to check. I’d guess around 20? Maybe 30? Max? But I love them all, so much

10. How many followers do you have?

Around 730 I think? 730 babies, my loves, my little darlings ❤️

11. How many people do you follow?

I have no idea… 200? I don’t follow that many people, I like to keep my dash pretty chill, but it’s a tasty mix of Tom Holland blogs, Adam driver blogs, and F1 blogs.

12. Have you ever made a shit post

Happily. And I’ll do it again.

13. How often do you use tumblr a day?

It’s pretty sporadic, I’ll probably open it around 15 times a day but usually for around 3 minutes each.

14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog

Yeah I got into an argument with a Max blog about his legitimacy as a decent person a while back. But now I think I’ve established myself as a Charles-obsessed dumbass that no one could possibly bother to fight with.

15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog’ posts

I understand where they’re coming from, and if it’s a work of art I typically agree. But I also resent the notion of reblogging for the sake of reblogging because I feel like it detracts from the value of things I find truly special.

16. Do you like tag games?

Yes!! They take me forever but they’re a ton of fun :)

17. Do you like ask games?

YES. so much.

tagged by @lillnasx <3 thank u nico!!

1. Why did you choose your url?

i was obsessing over shadow and bone and i wanted a jesper fahey url but the only one i got wasn’t as nice so i went with this one lol. also it won the url poll i did

2. Any side blogs?

yeeehaaa: @elliewillaims - dark fandom; @chekov - pale/bw fandom; @gotaskyful - aesthetic/nonfandom; @klgharrah - writing; @thebucky - various resources i compile, like themes/templates/tutorials/etc

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

started in jan. 2011, left for most of 2017-2020, came back last summer bc the pastabake made me bored and miss connecting with folks online!

4. Do you have a queue tag?

yep! #queue good? referring to the way sam would check up on bucky in tfatws (”you good?”)

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

my friend and i were both making every social media account possible in 8th grade, basically

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

i would fucking die for jesper fahey

7. Why did you choose your header?

i wanted to theme it around loki and then he went all ~dramatic~ in pompeii and i thought the whole “nothing matters! we’re all going to die!” was really funny so i made it my header lol

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

the shitpost about creation ideas i finally deleted bc the notifications were OVERWHELMING (but i reblogged it first), which currently has 133k

9. How many mutuals do you have?

i think it’s around like 120?

10. How many followers do you have?

786 :) the shitpost brought a lot of people to my blog lmao

11. How many people do you follow?

341! could definitely use some more 😅

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

yes many but now i’m wary bc of the one that took off lol

13. How often do you use tumblr a day?

TOO MUCH!! too much. i open the app. i close the app. i open it again. i close it. i open tumblr on my laptop. i open it on my phone. i realize it’s open in both places and sit and stew in my life choices.

14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

i have not! 

15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

most likely i'll scroll past bc i’ve seen too many of the pointless ones that it’s like the boy who cried wolf at this point

16. Do you like tag games?

yeah!!! even though i just did like 2-3 weeks’ worth of them bc i was hella behind i think they’re cute <3

17. Do you like ask games?

i love ask games!!!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

last time i said anyone with followers in the tens of thousands and i think i’ll hold to that, as well as the fact that no one’s really “famous” on tumblr anymore. maybe well-known as creators (or even shitposters lol) but i’m not sure people have the incredibly massive followings they used to back in ye olden days

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

i have a love so intense for every single one of my mutuals i bet they wouldn’t even know what hit em if i said so.... but no crushes

god i have no clue who to tag for this so uhhhh here’s some no-pressure tags: @buckybarne @magsbane @milesgmorales @sirtadcooper @malyeoretsev @yelenabeluva @janesfoster @phantomviola @themarshalstale @magnusedom feel free to ignore ♥

tagged by @hurricanewindattack @jedivszombie and @powertrains! thanks everyone and sorry for the delay!! here's the 20 question thing everyone's been doing

1) why did you choose your URL? first of all, interlagos wasn't available. then you have formulino, the legendary imola cat. since the autodrome is called enzo and dino ferrari, i thought it would be a nice shoe-in. but since formulino wasn't available as well, i got the plural version.

2) any side blogs? yes. @formulinos (my main is @maggiechevng and i seldom post there unless it's screencaps of stuff i've watched recently)

3) how long have you been on tumblr? 2009? 2010? idk man it was really early. sometimes i got v tired of my blogs and deleted them (shame bc i wish i had kept those) but it's just a lil reset!

4) do you have a queue tag? not really ! should i?

5) why did you start this blog in the first place? well, i had to spend 6 months off-uni and i had a lot of free time, so i got it as a place to keep myself out of idleness

6) why did you choose your icon/pfp? i absolutely loved the trend amongst the funk community here in brazil (where i'm from) of wearing formula 1 merch. the ferrari/santander windbreaker (or jacó as we call it here) is still a staple. it shows that i'm fun, and breezy, and brazilian and also a tifosi

7) why did you choose your header? i don't have one here! (not yet, i'm trying to negociate smth cool with a friend)

8) what is your post with the most notes? kimi's war correspondent nickname with 721 notes and counting. nico's despair over shirtless michael schumacher is a close second with 713!

9) how many mutuals do you have? i've no clue... 10 tops?

10) how many followers do you have? 300 and celebrating!

11) how many people do you follow? 88. i actually don't follow many ppl from f1blr [awks]

12) have you ever made a shit post? every single one of them

13) how often do you use tumblr a day? at least once a day but lately it has been very spare because of the hectic rhythm in uni

14) did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog? no! and i want to! if you guys want to start an argument please hit me up <3

15) how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog’ posts? i absolutely don't feel like i need to reblog anything i don't want to.

16) do you like Tag Games? i do! makes me come out of my cave!!

17) do you like Ask Games? yes, in general i love asks and interacting with people, i don't feel like i have been very successful in emphasising i would love to talk to people more around here and make friends which is on me, i barely reblog stuff and i usually just use this blog as a central for the stuff i do myself. anyway. feel free to interact!

18) which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? on f1blr i think everyone? it's a small community, you might not know names but you probably have seen people in your dash once. tbh i feel lucky that my moots even found me let alone talk to me every day!

19) do you have a crush on a mutual? yes and no! like platonic crushes, sure, on everyone because they inspire me. romantic ones? nah

20. Tags! i was late! everyone got tagged! fuck!

Thank you so much for tagging me @dutchgrandprix ✨

2. Any side blogs? - This! My main is @toffeefox

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp? - Nico is my first F1 love and deserves a place up front

7. Why did you choose your header? - It fits the name lol

Also I like reblogging stuff and leave little comments on the tags

16. Do you like tag games? - Yeah these are fun, even if I forget to do some of them oops
