The boys in every episode: "Big Time Audition"

[things-methinks]

The difference between Max and Norris is 62, whereas the difference between Norris-Charles is 24, Norris-Oscar is 44, Charles-Oscar is 20, and Oscar-Carlos is 13.

Charles and Oscar are closer to Lando than Lando is to Max. In fact, Oscar is only 20 points behind Charles. Even Sainz Jr is only 13 points behind Oscar. If Lando has one non-podium finish and one of these 4 win that GP, the gap goes down even if they don't move up. Say Charles wins Baku (we're not going to assume fastest lap, it's a wildcard), he gains 25 points, and Norris finishes at 4th gaining 12 points. Charles would go up 242 and Lando would be 253, an immense reduction.

Not even Charles, if Oscar wins, his wdc points go up 222, and Norris goes to 253, reducing the gap 31. If Sainz Jr finishes above Oscar, he could potentially move above him, even without a podium finish. We could have an even more interesting outcome if one of the Mercs finishes in the top 4, one of these 5 guys would be out of the top 5.

《Edit: I completely forgot we still have 3 sprints left. Putting that into the mix will change things as well. Oscar has done well in Sprints, even cinching his first win at a Sprint in F1. This is another element to consider.》

Charles has gotten pole for the last 3 years at Baku, but we all know the reasons he did not win. Ferrari have shown they can challenge that McLaren rocketship, they have one insane driver. We have 2 kids who are the least experienced in F1 compared to rest of the grid on a decently difficult street track. Baku might be an interesting weekend, but I am not going to say anything.

Help. I can't stop making characters transgender and autistic.

I love the moment in 2x08 when TK, in the midst of being held at gunpoint and kidnapped, reached into his pocket and pulled out his sobriety chip and dropped it on the ground.

It was so smart to do, but it also shows how much trust and faith he has in Carlos (and his dad, the 126, etc.) because a random person stumbling across that chip wouldn't think twice about it. The coin isn't custom made with his name on it - anybody could have accidentally dropped one in a parking garage. But Carlos knows as soon as he sees it that it's TK's and what it means.

and TK dropped it because he knew Carlos and his family would be looking for him. TK knew that once he was late enough and didn't check in, it would be Carlos who would go searching for him.

It’s so good to see you.

Lies of P (2023)

“My haircare routine…mmm…I shampoo it once every day? That’s it. And if I shower two or three times a day, I shower a lot, I’m very hygienic in that sense, I only shampoo it once. If I do it too much it gets too fluffy. Never conditioner. Never.”

Oh god, Carlos O'Connell really nailed it, didn't he. He knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote Big Shot. That instrumentation. The lyrics, even as seemingly abstract and distant they are. I get it. What he's written, I couldn't always pinpoint a lyric and tell you, this is what it is, but I know what he's written the song about. It's almost too fragile to put it into words. It might even break it to try. It would be too ugly to. But you get what he's saying. And when Grian puts his low, slow, strong and here very wistful, almost nihilist and faraway vocals onto it, he's really conveying what Carlos meant to say and it's so beautiful I might be sick to my stomach. I listen to that song sitting at home, and I feel homesick. Because it's about the other home. The unattainable one. The one only in memory, the one you left behind, forever. It's the fact that it will never exist for you. You will always be on the move. Home is everywhere and nowhere. It is a pin rusting through a mental map. It's an image in my head and it's been stuck there for ten years, rusting. I— my god. This song.

I for one am still looking forward to whatever timeline nonsense is happening.

Watch the show completely ignore everything and make it completely ambiguous. All this stuff is happening simultaneously within whatever timeline it needs to take place for the individual character. Like they're all on the different planets and dimensions or whatever like in Interstellar or Doctor Who

[tankgotstuckinthecircusgate]

they just didn't have to write him as "a great philanthropist"; "a generous benefactor of the empire bay planetarium"; "frequent officer of the empire bay press guild"; "a frequent target of political slander and false arrest because of generosity towards the press"

and at the same time write him as the first of the others to organize drug trafficking; a man who tried to kill all his competitors; "a shady bastard, even for guys in this business"; "ruthless modernizer"; a man who secretly views his close friend as a liability; "the man who killed his own boss" to take his place

"few will moan moretti's passing" from the lost heaven's newspapers and there's nothing like that in the cut-out news reports about carlo's death

"HE'S MY HUSBAND"

Just so you know, now that you have put that out into the universe, I am manifesting that to happen at the end of the season this year. I CAN SEE IT AND I BELIEVE. THE POWER OF THE TENNIS AU BLEEDING INTO CANON

anon, you must know that I have never practised manifestation in my LIFE but I will manifest for this. I need it with my whole damn soul. it's unfair how much of a chokehold tarlos has us all in, and the least we deserve to add fuel to our burning obsessions is either of them (although tbh I think it's time for someone to call Carlos impressive because he IS) to look across at the other, the fondest, most loving look in their eyes and say: 'he's my husband'.

I will clown for this so fucking hard my nose will turn red I'm SORRY.

LIKE THIS BUT WITH TK SAYING HE'S MY HUSBAND:

(I'm so fucking unwell for them idk how I live like this)

i love that they’re such good people but im getting pretty tired of judd and grace’s only scenes this season being supporting everyone else and not having a real story of their own. 

its been an ongoing problem but between that, carlos only being in every other episode, and the other members of the 126 only getting one episode each (if that) to shine and then fading back into background characters the rest of the episodes, its really frustrating
