Charles Leclerc

I loved winter; it was probably my favorite season. I adored the frost forming on the windows, staying at home under a wool blanket, watching a TV series with a hot chocolate in my hands, snuggled in Charles' sweet embrace.

But I also love race days, where you’re surrounded by fans who care about you and all your friends. It's a different kind of warmth from what Charles gives me, but I couldn’t give up either.

It seemed like a pretty calm day. As always on race days, my boyfriend accompanied Leo and me to the paddock. There was a light breeze, but no sign of rain or, worse, storms. Or at least, so I thought.

I was nervously biting my nails: Charles was fighting with Piastri for second place. I noticed Leo, curled up in my arms, starting to fidget.

“What’s wrong, darling?” I whispered, petting the little dog to calm him. A loud thunderclap tore through the sky, and the hand stroking his soft fur froze immediately.

My hands began to tremble, and my eyes widened. Adrenaline rushed through me, and soon the shaking spread through my entire body, making Leo even more alert as he began barking insistently.

Arthur quickly turned toward us, and in a swift movement, I felt his warm hand on my shoulder and his body heat surrounding me.

“Y/N, it's okay, I'll take you to the drivers' room,” he whispered softly, trying to calm me down.

I weakly nodded. Walking was difficult; my legs felt heavy, and my heart was pounding. I saw all the journalists' cameras pointed at me, and my vision blurred from panic.

Arthur sat me down on the couch. “I’ll bring you some water; in the meantime, put on the headphones, okay?” he asked, looking me directly in the eyes. With a slight movement, I reached for the headphones and turned on the classical music. By chance, the soft sound of a piano played, one I instantly recognized: I knew those notes by heart. I had heard them so many times at home, they were Charles’ songs.

Leo stretched out beside me on the couch, and I ran my hand through his fur, feeling his warmth reassure me. I closed my eyes and completely lost myself in the music, which drowned out the thunder.

I was immensely grateful for Arthur’s quick thinking; without him, I don’t know what I would have done.

After what felt like an eternity, I felt someone pulling me close, and my cheek pressed against something. When I looked up, I saw Charles gazing at me with his green eyes full of love.

“How are you, mon amour?” he asked, placing a sweet kiss on my forehead.

“B-better,” I whispered faintly, as I buried my face in the crook of his neck.

Lando Norris

“Hi guys,” Lando greeted with a smile, as the chat filled with comments and hellos. “Today we’ve got this little monster with us,” he joked, poking my poor cheek with his index finger.

Suppressing a sincere laugh, I turned to him and lightly smacked his head with my lemon tea bottle.

“Hey, watch it, don’t flatten my hair!” he whined, running his hands through his curls several times to give them back their volume.

“You’re lucky you still have them, the way you treat them every day!” I said, pretending to be annoyed, turning my full attention to the chat. “Yes, Carlos Sainz is a bad influence on him,” I whispered, answering a comment.

“You’re just jealous of my perfect curls,” the boy laughed, raising an eyebrow. His expression was so funny that I burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Lando went pale, and his face turned incredibly serious. My laughter slowly faded as I asked, “You’re not offended, right? Because if I hurt your feelings, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to—” I couldn’t finish the sentence because Lando pointed behind me. Slowly, I turned, and on the white wall of the room, among his precious helmets, was a giant spider.

A strangled squeak escaped me as I jumped into the boy’s arms.

“You’re going to take it out, right?” I asked anxiously, wrapping my arms around his neck in what was probably a death grip.

“Not a chance,” he whispered, clutching my sides, also visibly terrified of that abnormally large, many-legged spider, black as coal, with those tiny eyes that looked ready to jump on you at any moment.

“Please, do something!” I said, continuing to stare at the creature, which was calmly walking among the helmet collection.

Reluctantly, we stood up from the chair and grabbed pieces of paper and a transparent glass.

“Lando, on my count of three, you trap it, and then we take it to the balcony,” I whispered from behind him, so that if the spider bit or moved, it would be Lando who was at risk. I know, I’m a fantastic girlfriend.

“One.” The boy took a deep breath to calm his nerves.

“Two.” Lando got into position, holding the glass and the piece of paper just right.

“Three.” In one quick motion, Lando trapped the spider and ran towards the balcony, shuddering as if he had a thousand little legs crawling all over him. He quickly opened the sliding door and released the spider outside, slamming the door shut behind him.

“Gross,” he spat with a disgusted face, squirming like he was doing an especially wild dance, still feeling the sensation of tiny legs crawling over him.

Oscar Piastri

It was a day like any other. Oscar had asked me to meet him in the drivers’ room because he needed some advice. It was probably something related to the race, or maybe he just needed some reassurance.

When I arrived at the door, I knocked, feeling the cold under my knuckles, but there was no answer.

“Oscar, it’s me, can I come in?” I asked, pressing my ear against the surface to catch any sound coming from the other side, but nothing—everything was silent.

Worry started creeping in with a thousand doubts: maybe he wasn’t feeling well, or worse, something had happened.

“Oscar, I’m coming in,” I said, trying to sound firm and decisive, but the only thing that came out was a hesitant whisper.

When I turned the metal handle, the room was partially dark, but I didn’t notice at first. Maybe Oscar hadn’t arrived yet, or perhaps he wanted to surprise me. As soon as I took a few steps into the room, the door clicked shut behind me, eliminating the last source of light.

My breath caught in my throat: I had been afraid of the dark since I was little, and Oscar knew that. Quickly, I walked toward the door and grabbed the handle, pushing and pulling violently, but nothing happened.

I started knocking incessantly on the cold, anonymous surface. “Please, let me out,” I said with a desperate voice, fearing that something or someone might emerge from the darkness surrounding me.

Luckily, after a short while, I heard two male voices talking outside the door, followed by a loud click: the door finally opened again. In front of me were the two McLaren drivers. Without thinking, I threw myself into Oscar’s arms, and he held me tightly.

“I told you it was a terrible idea,” Oscar whispered to his friend while tracing comforting circles on my back.

“You’re both jerks,” I said with a pout, mostly directed at Lando, but without pulling away from the calming, safe warmth of my boyfriend. I could stay in that position forever.

Carlos Sainz

Today, of all days, was the one that every child dreads: going to the dentist. Only I wasn’t a child anymore; I’m now considered a grown, healthy adult.

I’d love to say this fear is innate, but that would be a lie. It all started when I was seven years old and had to have a baby tooth removed. I had never been to the dentist before, and you could say I was quite curious, like any child. While my parents talked with the doctor, I wandered around the room and found some instruments attached to a strange machine. Naturally, I reached out to touch them, and of course, I cut myself on the metal. The dentist was mortified, and my parents told me to be more careful.

I know what happened was just a pure accident, but that event, combined with the scary stories the other kids told—probably exaggerated—developed into a fear that refuses to go away.

Carlos held my hand tightly as I nervously bit my nails, my leg trembling slightly, unable to stay still from the tension.

“Miss Y/N Y/L/N, please follow me,” said the dentist.

Through clenched teeth, in a whisper, I said, “I don’t want to go.”

Carlos looked at me with a reassuring smile and eyes full of understanding. “I know, mi amor, but it’s just a checkup, nothing’s going to happen to you.”

“Will you come with me?” I asked, pulling him up from the couch with me, and hand in hand, we headed to the “torture chamber.”

Throughout the visit, I couldn’t stop thinking about how the dentist could make a mistake and leave me without teeth, but every time I looked at my boyfriend, my fears eased. Just losing myself in his brown eyes was enough to understand that everything would be fine.

“All done,” the dentist said seriously. I’m always amazed at how this man never smiles.

As soon as I got off the chair, I immediately reached for Carlos’ hand, feeling his warmth.

“So, how did it go?” he asked with a sincere smile as we walked out of the clinic.

“He didn’t smile once,” I said, still a little stunned by the experience.

Carlos laughed at my statement and squeezed my hand even tighter.

[misterfeller]

the cryptic asks are fun :)

you'll never know who i am

mainly because we're not mutuals and i dont follow anyone, so i'm invisible to you

so uh

you can call me whatever you want

ohhh okay!!!! i thought you would be one of my mutuals. you kind of remind me of faggot mouse. i am okay with more cryptic asks this is so fun yay! deciding what to call you is going to be really hard bc i barely know anything about you. i have this stupid thing in my phone where it gives me cats and i name them. maybe you could look through them and see if any names feel like you. i would put screenshots of all the names here but there would be too many. i will copy and paste some for you. under the cut bc there are 5 million even with some taken out

1945 01 Clearing Skies - Robert Taylor

During a brief respite in the freezing weather and with the recent snow beginning to thaw, the B-17 Fortresses of the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk prepare for the Eighth Air Force’s latest mission to Germany, during the harsh winter of early 1945. As for the American bomber crews, they were the bravest of the brave, and I know that I am speaking for my own bomber crews when I pay this tribute.” Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur “Bomber” HarrisThe winter of 1944 / 45 wasn’t the coldest ever recorded in England but it came close. The weather was bitter and, in what would turn out to be the last Christmas of the war, temperatures plunged across the country, bringing ice, freezing fog and deep banks of drifting snow.Airfields across East Anglia stood bleak and frost-bound, runways kept clear of snow when conditions allowed, whilst the heavy bombers of the US Eighth Air Force remained under wraps, engines oiled, warmed and ready for any break in the banks of murky fog that would allow them to fly. And when those breaks came, the bombers were back in action ready to play their part in the final destruction of Hitler’s Third Reich. The end game was rapidly approaching and both sides knew it.The Eighth Air Force flew its final bomber operations of the war on 25 April 1945, the last of 968 combat missions involving over 523,000 sorties; they had dropped some 700,000 tons of bombs, inflicting destruction on a scale from which the enemy could never recover. Yet the cost of the victory in which they had played such a major part made for sober reading; they had lost some 6,130 bombers and fighters along with some 47,000 casualties, including more than 26,000 dead – half of the entire US Army Air Force losses during the conflict.

Until we get more Sonic Prime content here's some shatterspaces I thought up for fun

- Green Gulch (Wild West shatterspace, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get something similar in the show; Green Gulch, despite its name, has been dealing with a serious drought and water shortage, and certain outlaws aren’t exactly helping; Sonic’s gloves/shoes are designed for the rugged terrain, shoes have spurs and gloves come with their own grappling hook-esque lasso):

Sherriff Calamity Rose

Deputy Sherriff Miles Earp (steampunk-esque inventor)

Buffalo Big (the town’s cattle rustler)

Bat Cassidy (outlaw Rouge)

Knuckles the Kid (Rouge's assistant)

- Avalon Gone Island (fantasy shatterspace b/c unfortunately I kinda doubt they’d use SatBK; name is a play on “long gone”; Sonic’s gloves/shoes probably grant him minor magic; still figuring out this shatterspace, I might go for something more Dungeons & Dragons-esque instead):

Arthur Penfox (boy king)

Amy le Fay (the royal sorceress)

Red Knight/Sir Knuckles (one of the king's top knights)

Purple Knight/Sir Big (top knight)

White Knight/Dame Rouge (top knight)

- All Hollow's Hill (monster shatterspace; AKA “what if everyone from Halloween Town in Nightmare Before Christmas was at war with each other over who’s the scariest”; Sonic’s gloves/shoes resemble his werehog design, maybe he’d be able to tap into similar abilities??):

Dr. Prowerstein

Prowerstein's Big Monster/Franken-Big

Countess Rougula (vampire bat)

Polterknux (Rouge’s ghostly servant)

Rabid Rose (werehog Amy; she becomes smitten with Sonic when he acts remotely like a werehog)

- Toyzone (Nutcracker shatterspace; Sonic’s gloves/shoes grant him the powers of the elements of the land: sweets, snow, toys, and animals; this one’s a work-in-progress too):

The Knuckcracker (cursed hero, protects living toys)

Drosselcatter (magician/clockmaker Big; he welcomes and guides Sonic through the land)

Sugarplum Amy (queen of the Sugarplum Fairies)

Bat Frost (winter spirit, friendly prankster)

Fox King Tails (Rat King role, cursed Knux out of jealousy; his people have been in such a long-standing feud with the toys that they can’t remember why they hate each other)

- Gray Hill (rubberhose/1930s cartoon-style shatterspace; Sonic himself is in color but everything else including Sonic's gloves/shoes is black and white; gloves enable him to generate anvils/bombs/mallets/etc. out of thin air and can do practically anything so long as it’s funny, like Roger Rabbit rules):

Tails the Friendly Fox (Tails but Felix the Cat, has a handy-dandy toolbox he can pull practically anything from)

Knuckles the Sailor (Knux but Popeye)

Rose Oil (Amy but Minnie Mouse/Olive Oyl)

Rouge the Blot (Rouge but Betty Boop; talks with a Transatlantic accent)

Big Brute (Pete/Bluto-esque antagonist, arch-enemy of Knuckles)

Info About The Writer

Hi! I’m Alistair— you can call me that, or you can use my username for pretty much everywhere else, TheetyPie/Theety. I don’t mind either way.

I’m a trans guy, I use he/they pronouns. I’m panromantic/asexual, and I’m 27 years old.

I have 3 cats, they’re my babies. I also (as you can tell from above) have a lot of OCs, and the number is still growing. I want to turn my ideas into a bigger creation someday, still not sure exactly where I want to go with it.

I do more than write. I do art, I like video games, music, and just collecting stuff. Current obsessions are Monster High, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, makeup, crystals, and jewelry.

Rules

The most important: I do not RP smut. In the past I’ve used the fade-to-black method, but I’m not entirely comfortable with that with most of my muses.

In the same vein, DO NOT FORCE SHIPS. I love ships as much as the next guy, but I would prefer to discuss it first, or for us to agree on it. It’s cool if your muse has a crush, totally fine— mine get crushes all the time! But make sure if you want to ship, we discuss it first.

In a similar vein to that one as well, no god-modding/powerplaying. If your character is strong, an immortal being, or whatever, cool! I have some of those too. But there should always be a limit. Don’t say your character is moving mine unless we’ve talked about that. Attempt to move them. Usually I follow along as long as boundaries aren’t pushed.

Don’t kill or seriously injure my muse without permission. Fights happen, of course, but again: discussion. I’m up for threads where my canon muses are injured or killed, but not where it happens to my OCs, unless we’re getting into a backstory and another OC that’s already deceased dies. Non-serious injuries are alright to come out of nowhere with, but if it’s a first meeting, I’d prefer to plot it out.

I’m semi-selective. I’m kind of particular about who I follow and who I thread with. I prefer us to be mutuals to thread, but you don’t have to be mutuals to send me things.

I’m very bad at keeping up with people. If you message me and I don’t respond, it’s usually bc I’m shy, I forgot, or I’m busy with work. It’s not you, I promise. Usually I don’t message first bc I’m nervous.

Back to shipping: I’m also multiship. Usually my ships are in different universes, unless discussed with all parties beforehand. The exception is a few of my OCs that are partnered together— ask about their availability. I love random ships, just talk to me about them!

I love duplicates of my muses. Whether it’s “x meets self” or I find someone I share a muse with, I love RPing with just about everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we have a muse in common!

One of my other most important statements, not really considered a rule, but it’s still important: if you want to know something about any muse, canon or OC, please tell me— ask or message me! I haven’t been able to write down a lot of info about any of them because I’m on mobile, but I will infodump for you if you need/want to know something. I love talking about my children, they’re precious to me.

If you send something in or make something for me when we haven’t even spoken, I might not feel comfortable responding. I’m very shy and nervous about not having any discussion beforehand. 😭

If there’s anything I left out or you need to know, just ask!

[forgottencassandra]

ooc | Cassandra & Rose

I feel like Cassandra honestly just saw Rose in a crowd during some kind of formal thing and was just like "kindred spirit!!!!" because she was dressed so well and of a similar age and probably complicated her on her dress or something and just decided that they would be friends and then they just spent the rest of the day heavily gossiping and laughing and Cass spilling the tea on the Varmont & co peeps and Rose telling her about Astaira (and Cassandra immediately started hating on Valentina and Cassimir tbh)

Also, I know that Edmund doesn't know that Rose is a servant -- do you think that's something she also keeps from Cassandra?

So, I'm realizing that Cassandra is obsessed with fairytales and romances and just wants to live one out in real life but also wants to see them play out and yeah I think she ships Eithne/Arthur hardcore and is waiting for the day he fights off Cassimir and rescues her and #facepalm (ngl I think she also ships Edmund/Rose but she definitely has NOT said this to Rose, but she def brings up Edmund a lot). I'm also not sure that she's explicitly told Rose about her fantasy involving Eithne/Arthur, but I do think she probably talks about how she's sure Arthur loves Eithne and does Rose think Eithne might love Arthur?

ALSO, I'm crying b/c she's definitely told Rose about Cillian Frost (the lord) and she knows he must be Astarian and does Rose know him/his family, etc. etc. and Rose probably can't tell Cassandra that she does know him, but he's a literal servant who impersonated a lord to rescue someone b/c he might get in trouble and also cue Rose trying to hide Cillian in a closest whenever Cassandra comes to visit. ;D

LADY SONYA MALCONAIRE / NATALIE DORMER

♛ Age: (28) ♛ Relationships: Valentina Malconaire (mother), Cassimir Malconaire (brother), Eithne Malconaire, Brigit Malconaire, Aoife Malconaire, Roisin Malconaire (step-sisters), Cillian Frost (servant/annoyance), Roderick Varmont, Arthur Varmont, Alaric Varmont (flirtations/targets), Guinevere Varmont (new friend)

ever since she was a young child, sonya has always felt as though she was a disappointment to her mother

while her brother could do no wrong, it took a great deal before sonya ever received any word of praise from valentina

it was so rare, that sonya began to crave it at every turn

valentina has great plans for both of her children -- they will both marry extremely well, and she will not settle for less -- and sonya has always been determined to, in this at least, exceed her mother's expectations!

when her mother set her sights on the emperor himself for her daughter, sonya ought not to have been surprised

sonya, however, isn't exactly interested in being any man's fourth (or even fifth if his marriage with the queen goes through) wife and, instead, is determined to marry whoever will inherit the throne after him

and as it appears it will likely be his eldest son, sonya has decided that she will not settle for anything less than marrying arthur varmont and she will do anything to have him (his father is her plan b and his uncle is her plan c)

honestly enrages her that he pays eithne any attention at all!!

it's very sad because sonya might have otherwise been friends with her step-sisters, however she enjoys bossing them around/putting them down/generally poking fun at them because it's one thing she and her mom can bond over #family goals

it's also good to just feel superior, not only in her mother's eyes, but in general

at the end of the day, sonya is desperately lonely and has low self-esteem

she's never really had a true friend in her entire life :(

she views men only in terms of how valuable they would be to her as a potential husband and she views women as her competition

only recently has she started to develop a friendship with guinevere varmont

it is in the earliest of stages and she has yet to become someone she confides in, however she does genuinely enjoy her company

[nomnomdiary]

Here we go

A : what's context? oc x canon or canon. Canon : Zack and Johan (Lookism), Romy x Laurence (Time Princess), Caroline x Edward (Time Princess), Elizabeth x Davis (Time Princess). Actually I never like OTP canon ship (in romantic way) from any fandom except Time Princess fandom.

B : it's not by other people, it's by myself lol. I accidently thinking Johan Seong (Lookism) in Criminal Case AU with difference personality and I think Rua probably cute love interest for him.

C : Karmi x Hiro (Big Hero 6) ofc. even though I used to write something nice about Karmi, I never like it. ever. even though they said Karmi got development character, but actually NO. It's not development character. She just change! because of hater pressure and covid-19 which make BH6TS ended. I want to write how Karmi should be written someday.

D : Arthur x Bernadine (Criminal Case) T_T. Idk I don't wanna be a hypocrite, I'm jealous of her. But I can't hate her or the ship itself. The ship is my ideal trope ship. Also Bernadine is one of my favorite character. I just.. can't.

E : I've made threesome-friendship between Hiro, Hiccup and Jack Frost in 2015 era. I miss that era :''

F : what's fandom hmm.. Big Hero 6 maybe, from 2015-2019

G : For based on canon, I ship Tintin x Chang (The Adventure of Tintin), for based on oc x canon, I ship Tintin x Yan. Yan was the most famous OC in Tintin fandom.

I : Mostly western animation. then, manhwa and game.

J : Nothing.. Not tumblr. Twitter, Facebook and Reddit is. they ruin Lookism fandom for me.

K : Johan Seong! I could make a journal if I wanted to lol

L : Goo Kim, I love him. He doesn't talk much but more action to help other people even though he's not good guy.

M : Vasco from Lookism :) not in romantic way, just friend. He's silly. also Jake Kim and Crystal Choi looks interesting for me.

N : I have no idea. I'm feel comfortable in Criminal Case fandom.

O : hmm what's that?? Ah! My Tamako My Sookie song from The Handmaiden movie remind me of Bernadine (Criminal Case).

P : Criminal Case MoTP in cast AU and modern kingdom AU

Q : Since 2022, I left Lookism. So many toxic fans. Favoritism everywhere. They easily judge and hate one some character just because their fav character confronted with the character. Not all of them but mostly that what I seen everyday in lookism fandom. sorry (not sorry). But I still following the update episode.

R : Zack and Johan (Lookism) :)

S : Arthur Wright (Criminal Case) can speak German from his mom, his mom was from Hamburg. But he cant speak in north german dialect.

T : I have no idea

U : Criminal Case : Arthur Wright (just.. he's cute). Lookism : Johan Seong (perfect anti-hero, his development character just a GOAT).

V : Zack Lee, Crystal Choi (Lookism). little bit Archie (Criminal Case). Manager Kim's Daughter (Senior Manager Kim).

W : 1) Love-hate relationship but it's actually romanticizing bullying (not all love-hate relationship are romanticizing bullying), 2) Stalker become lover. That's why I hate Karmiro, 3) Rap*st, not matter it's straight or not, I never understand why people love romanticizing criminal. 4) Love triangel

X : I don't have a definite favorite, but I like the trope where one has anxiety and the other calms it down. I think this is underrated. That's why I love Arthur x Bernadine

Y : nothing

Z : I'm OC x Canon user and I'm proud of it :)

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
