this one is pretty straight forward, but i originally came up with this idea when talking to ed (@hillbillied) like five years ago. shoutout ed, miss ya bud. from there, my beloved anon i had i think....9 months ago or something like that requested i work on it next from my fic to do list, and thus it was birthed forward.

🏜️ for the writers ask!

Hey there!!! Thanks for the ask <3

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Hm good question. I know it's a fairly popular answer but I like when people pull something out that they liked. Or theorising and digging into the world I create! Basically I like it if it's something that I can give a unique answer to. I always appreciate people taking the time to read my stuff, so I like being able to write something back that shows I took the time to think about what they've said in reply!

Send asks from this writers truth or dare!

[stfrancisprayer]

7 and 14 for the ask : )

HELLO HELLO!!! *cartwheels through a hula hoop that's on fire*

7. i’ll never get tired of listening to

BURN BABY BURN 🗣️‼️🔥all i have to hear is that beginning cymbal and it's like i'm hearing it for the first time again. it's insane. i'm actually listening to the song as i respond to this ask because you reminded me of how much i love it!! right here, right now by fatboy slim gets an honorable mention for this question too.

14. i’d make everyone listen to

discovery by daft punk is also one of my top albums of all time...my favorite part about this one is once it kind of gets that rhythm going. also the way they sing "why don't you play the gameeee" and then do the response with the synth?? genius. should be required listening for everybody on earth. daft punk also did a really cute gap commercial with this song in 2001

thank you for asking my friend!!!! <3

I have to be honest. My experience was mostly based on this website and then, sometimes watching the races on TV.

You can say i am a casual watcher, on and off.

While I find the experience to be leaning on the cultish side and ,as a result,toxic, i still want to learn about the sport.

Also, i do not think i really "like" any drivers. It's more about what they represent, i think. They are public figures, they are brands so i feel that what I actually like is the brand, the personna.

What i can do is cureating my experience with  other blogs like yours. Do you have any other recommendations ?

Thanks for answering my ask, it was very nice of you to do so.

if you want to learn more about the sport i would definitely recommend watching some previous seasons. f1fullraces.com and overtakefans.com both have archives where you can find and watch old races for free. the commentary is usually in english and therefore fairly biased towards the british drivers but it's not totally unbearable. 2012 is a fantastic season to watch, it has great racing, a great title fight, lots of different winners, and is generally very enjoyable. 2003 and 2005 are also great. 2010 has a fantastic championship battle with four drivers still mathematically capable of winning by the last race although i personally think the racing in that season isn't that great. 2011 doesn't really have a championship battle but the racing is really really good, especially canada 2011. if there is one f1 race everyone should watch it is canada 2011. 2009 has a great narrative and some really great racing and the championship "battle" is quite similar to this season's. there's also a disney+ documentary on it called Brawn: the impossible formula 1 story to accompany it. there's a lot of races there so don't feel that you have to watch them all, but even a few would probably help you understand the sport a bit better, and they're not really connected to ongoing tumblr discourse so it should give you a bit of distance from the toxicity.

in terms of tumblr blogs, i guess it really depends on what you like and what you want out of the experience. i think @/race-week is great on the technical aspects of f1 (engineering, circuit layout, stewards rulings etc.) and my australian twin @/mercedeshaterr knows pretty much everything there is to know about motorsport from an official's perspective (she also hates mercedes so her blog is 100% a cultLH free zone).

for f1 art i really like @/mxgicdave and @/coldarena. they both post stuff other than f1 but they have such great art styles, and are so interesting and creative in what they do. @/argentinagp and @/justaboutsnapped do beautiful edits and graphics that i always enjoy seeing.

@/verdemint has some of the best takes i've seen on here, both in general and also specifically about lewis, as does @/blorbocedes, who is a leading light in the nicology movement and writes so well for many different pairings. @/karlmarxverstappen has the best replies to asks, just so witty, and @/thatdickhead and @/titstitstitstits never fail to make me laugh.

this is not an exhaustive list, just a few of my favourite people on here. i think if you find posts that you like and you connect to you'll be able to find more people that you enjoy following, and don't be afraid to just scroll through someone's blog and like everything you see, i've met some great people through that method. i also definitely recommend following stuff other than f1 on here if you're not already. film, tv shows, music, art, whatever you enjoy. even if you don't post it or post it to a sideblog, having other things that you like breaks up some of the negativity from f1blr and can make the experience more enjoyable.
