#btw i love george and charles and alex very normally HAHA

[gokartkid]

the dichotomy between chalex and galex is fascinating to me... charles and alex are light and sweet (caught giggling before races) and then george absolutely steamrolls his way through with something so devastating, so casually poetic (touching alex's bleeding wounds mid-interview). puppy love vs. star-crossed lovers i'm afraid

there IS a dichotomy and different appeals from both of them! UNFORCH AS A CHALEX LOVER (and a galex enjoyer!) i dont think chalex is puppy love, as in i don't write them with that intent as in i obviously have an overthought thesis in my mind!!

i think georges relationship to alex is very like. if i loved you less i could talk about it more, hunger etc. (also something about george being the youngest of the three of them… the way he seeks attention…. i dont have a coherent thought about this but. something!) and yes. very poetic siken bleeding wounds cannibalistic consumption 😋

alex with charles i dont think it is alll sweetness and light! the chalex pre race chatty pics areee everything and i think that alex is… in some ways more overtly kind to charles like when he doesnt make fun of him for not understanding things he explains things to him a lot (there’s video evidence but obv im lazy) BUT i think thats also to do with how genuine charles is like. hes never hesitant to be curious and to admit when he doesnt know things. compared to george who i feel rlly wants to give the impression of competency and being In and Getting It. in return, i think alex likes it a lot when people are straightforward, it reflects his own nature!

but alex is not Not mean to charles. and im also fascinated by the work it mustve took from being teammates in the feeder series and competing against each other (iirc charles and alex were the big championship contenders….?) and charles getting to f1 first and everything… to be very nice to each other now because they get along so well is soo interesting!! i also think alex at his worst could be resentful, and spiteful. and is that not delicious??? i think charles also has a tendency towards… believing things will work out for him because they do. and a lot of alexs life has NOT worked out, has been very very hard work for him to work it out, i mean he was benched! no seat! i think those conflicting worldviews also offer a lot for the depth of their relationship. they have fundamentally different outlooks and ways for solving problems that both allows them to get along well, and at the same time is material for conflict.

its like. in chalex, alex is the one more inclined to certain neuroses. in galex, its george. (they all have neuroses but im just saying the like. tendency…)
