The King, and his jealous court that drove him to suicide (I love propaganda)

Hc that between the 3 of them, Riko always looked the most pleasant and approachable to fans

daydreaming about a world where "leave the shelves cleaner/neater than you found them" is widely considered a common courtesy and to do otherwise is looked down upon

Lately I've only been wishing to grab a comic about my favorite character and just have a genuinely good time reading it.

I hope they don’t typecast Force into CEO/Office roles. He’s doing AMAZING in that role but I NEED to see professional soccer player Force or atleast athlete Force? Idk but something about this GIVES

He even has the soccer player face. If you watch soccer I know you see it lol.

But just imagine it: Athlete Force and standby medic Book or team nutritionist Book. What about injured athlete Force and Physiotherapist Book who helps grumpy ass Force, who thinks his Soccer dreams are over, recover.

at what point do you just accept that you have a crush and move on

[luvbug724]

there are a million more palatable books if you're just looking for a queer romance i don't understand why people flock to aftg if they're just going to hate everything else about it

👑💜✨ Sign up for King Jellyjam’s Sports Camp today and become Only The Best at any sport that’s here! ✨💜👑

nah I’m just kidding this definitely isn’t a real camp (you wouldn’t want it to be real, promise me)

Anyway, I thought this was a cool idea so I did it 😀 (cause 1. I just really wanted to draw cartoon/mascot! King JJ, and 2. I was kinda inspired by hearing there was a Camp Jellyjam sign up poster cameo in the most recent Goosebumps series- I haven’t seen the cameo personally or even the series for that matter, so idk if it’s even accurate at all, but still-)

also sorry for all the THACJJ stuff idk I just love this specific book so, so, so, so, S O much-

okayI’llshutupbyeeeeeee

Hey I just want to know something: am I the stupidest person on the planet or the f1 fandom is built differently?

Everytime I go on a social media to look up f1 content I see cute/horny (let's be honest) edits and everybody calling the drivers pookie or making memes. And that's alright, I guess.

I most definitely know that a bunch of (mostly white) men in a very competitive male-dominated sport rooted more than many others in capitalism are probably going to have scandals around them. I am not that dumb. I also know that because probably none of them is scandal-free and people who get crushes/hyperfixation on them just learn to live with them, but I didn't think they just...ignored them? Swept them under the rug? Let me explain.

When I so much as stumble on a TikTok with a song by The 1975 or McCafferty- or hell even Lovejoy recently- I see comments flooding with "bUt DoN't YoU kNoW tHeY'rE pRoBlEmAtIC?". Same happened with content about cinema or books. And on Tumblr happens less but still happens. As soon as you mention something that has ties with sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. people will soon point it out to you. Maybe because they're some of those people with the obsession of only consuming "morally pure" content, maybe they genuinely want to inform you, maybe they fucking hate that song/book/movie and want to give YOU a reason to dislike it.

But can someone tell me if I'm fucking dumb and I managed to stumble in the wrong part of instagram/tumblr/TikTok or NOBODY fucking talks about the shit some drivers have done? Because I am stumbling on a LOT of shit done by drivers I really liked lately even though I have been interested in F1 for a while now. Not too long, but enough that I think I would have heard some stuff.

Like, if I spent like 6 months on the hashtag of Guy Who Drives, why am I now finding out that they said something really discriminatory? I am just confused, I simply thought it would have popped out sooner, but apparently it was buried under 500+ posts about their abs? Like what?

I get that anyway it's not like you can cancel a driver, no matter what shit they say they'll probably still going to be racing the next weekend, but why people don't talk about it? Was my socials' fault for showing me horny posts everytime I simply looked up the name of a guy or do people don't talk about this stuff in the f1 community because "what are you gonna do anyway"?

I am leaning towards the second option because there are a few things that happened while I was already watching f1 (not in order: Lando's comments about, Trump, Hornergate, most drivers saying Hornergate was just noise) and at first people were talking about it but then they just...stopped? Like, I don't know, personally the words of disenterest many drivers expressed about Hornergate made me change my opinion about them at least a little and people seemed so outraged at first but now...it's like it never happened. Everybody back thirsting on main for Ricciardo, Norris, etc.

Genuine question, is the general response of the f1 community to these behaviours "forgive and forget in time of the next gp"? Am I missing something? I don't think they should be crucified but why I have not seen more people talking about this stuff? The "serious sport bunch" seems to be uninterested in "gossip" or whatever happens outsid the tracks, the good old fashioned fandom is writing fanfiction/making edits/funny posts, who keeps tracks of this stuff?

I have never been interested in a sport before. In the artistic world (cinema, literature, etc.) some scandals can get you out of a job and a long lasting hatred from the community. In motorsports, because the success of a driver does not depend from his fans' engagement but can be "objectively proved" by results and victories, do people just...make peace with the fact that some athletes are pieces of shit?

I want to specify it one more time, I am NOT saying LET'S CANCEL ALL THE DRIVERS AND BOO THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING QRONG AT SOME POINT, I am asking:

how do you deal when an athlete you cheer for does something really fucked up, and you know other athletes in the same field are no saints?

I’m very guilty of rating any piece of media based on how little assumptions I have to make to create an oc

[feelingthedisaster]

everytime i watch a new tv show or read a new book set in usa, i just get even more confused how tf the educutional system works

[chussyracing]

I have been in different fandoms before, although none of them had such a split-up fan base. But of course, for sports this is normal, I guess. I have been part of fandoms of tv shows and movies. Of course fandoms like these work completely differently than rpf.

And no, I don’t follow blogs who post about drivers that I don’t care about. Like you said yourself as a fan you gravitate to people who support the same believe (or person) as you. For example, I would never follow someone who supports stroll, because he is my least fav driver, but if I follow someone who supports Charles and Stroll and I find the Charles content interesting, then I will not block them, just because I don’t like stroll. Same goes for shipping.

My point was more like that if I am confronted with opinions that I don’t like or even find stupid I will not block them, (I only block bots) because if you block everything that you don’t want to see you get a false feeling of how the fandom as a whole thinks. And you will get the false feeling that everyone thinks like you, and if an opinion, that you don’t agree with, slips through even though you blocked so many people, you will get even more irritated than you maybe normally would, because you are so used to only seeing things you agree with. I am generalizing here tho.

Honestly, at the end of the day everyone is allowed to do exactly that. I think what made me go to your inbox was your tag: we could have been friends. (I guess you were at least half joking) but I already have strong opinions of blocking people, just because you don’t agree with them on certain things, so now here we are. Just to be clear, I understand blocking to a certain level when a blog only posts hate or always has the complete opposite opinion, but I get a bit sensitive when it happens just because you don’t agree with them on one thing and you don’t want to be confronted with anything that doesn’t align with your believe system.

Fuck that was way too long…

ah don't apologise, it was a nice read and i asked for it to understand your perspective a bit better!! it's interesting because we clearly view fandom and blocking completely differently.

i will try to keep this brief as my mobile data are STRUGGLING to keep me connected here.

i don't come here to exercise the use of fallacies in arguments and practice objectivity and comparison to others and the views of others, the aim is to get the validation and sometimes even agreement on consciously untrue or incomplete piece of information. i come here for the shits and giggles and having fun at something that doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things. if i wanted to confront my views with valid critique and different point of view, i'd never do that on tumblr, i'd focus back on academic environment, i'd hand in the essay on the underlying motif of misogyny in the greek mythology inspired poem i read a few years ago to the literacy journal like i wanted to do years back

and finally blocking has nothing to do with the person, rather their blog and i am separating the two here ALTHOUGH i can easily imagine situation where i go click that button due to a specific user rather than their posts. it's so easy for a reason, someone posts too much in the main F1 tag and you are bothered by it? make your experience easier, go and block that blog. they hate a driver you love or love the driver you hate? just hit that button and you never have to see it again. they have an icon that bothers you when you see it in the tag, open their blog and block it.

not to sound like the friend thats too woke but situations like palestine’s make me look at football or anything entertainment/sports related with disgust

I think if I see another beloved classical book getting an adaptation in 2025 I will. I will just become the Joker guys
