Fuck anyone who makes jokes about a crash that literally sent a driver to hospital.

Max's crash at Silverstone is the third most severe crash we've had in F1 in the past five years (most severe being Grosjean's in Bahrain 2020, followed by Zhou's in Silverstone 2022).

Additionally, the fact he was sent to the hospital at all is significant as Silverstone has its own medical facility on the grounds. It says everything that even as a precautionary measure, Max (+ Alex & Zhou the following year) was sent to the nearest hospital instead.

Do not for a single second take a driver walking away from a severe crash for granted. Sometimes, the miracles don't happen. Sometimes, a driver doesn't walk away unscathed. You do not want to be watching when the worst-case scenario becomes a real possibility, or worse; a reality.

If the like from Lando's dad is real... I have nothing else to say, from the bottom of my heart; FUCK YOU!

Tw implications/mentions of self harm/suicide and dissociation

So I rewatched Scott's double life recently just for fun and man so many little things your able to notice that I think are so important.

Like genuinely Scott's characters are typically very self-sacrfical in nature always giving things like lives or supplies away to those he trusts but double life is different...

For later we gotta take a look at C!Scotts pov on the first episode for us to understand him.

C!Scott spent all day desperately looked for his soulmate, asked everyone and even helped many others find their soulmate until it was just him and Cleo. At that point Scott's been wandering the contained world for hours at that point just hoping to find his soulmate to not luck not even once so he comes to the conclusion. "Hey they must not care about me."

So what else do you expect him to do besides trust the one person who's been his side pretty much the entire time and who he considers his best friend at that point. Especially when Cleo suggests becoming a team with just the two of them of course its intriguing to him because his soulmate doesn't care. Even when he finally meets his soulmate for the first time this entire game they just end up laughing at him like he didn't spend long grueling hours looking for her.

Like he didn't matter to them.

Scott takes this as a sign he was actually never wanted in the first place and leaves with Cleo who was already determined to leave. He didn't think Martyn would leave Pearl either bit hey Martyns devotion to Cleo has nothing to do with him other then he's being a bit of a problem.

After that the first thing he gets hit with is being damaged by powdered snow, all for a little fun he eventually find out and for the rest of the series it can be very obvious that Scott does not care about his own well being, he's the one who comes up with the axe crits every morning, he willingly sits in powdered snow whenever Pearl starts hurting him again ignoring his own pain to get revenge, he's now more reckless than we typically know of Scott walking of ledges that might be a bit high, or even letting out a few arsonist tendencies not caring if he gets burned in the flame.

Heck later on in the series Scott says something similar to thus, "when I get to red I'm offing myself"

In comparison to most other life series where Scott's more suicidal tendencies are more related to sacrifices for his allies, DL! Scott is straight up just suicidal no questions asked no thoughts about it.

It really doesn't help when he's constantly being told that his soulmate is "the one" and "maybe it'll get better" over and over again constantly putting the thought in his head that it's his fault for not at least trying with Pearl, oh people fight from time to time I'm sure you'll get better, oh I'm sure she's not THAT bad. They say while laughing as Scott is forced to watch people who don't know anything about his situation but in because they have their perfect soulmate so you must have one too.

He finally snaps when Jimmy is yelling at him saying over and over again how Cleo isn't his REAL soulmate just a phoney one yelling about how he doesn't get a say while threatening to burn something Jimmy loves in front of him. Only like the idea of being soulmates with Cleo instead of Pearl was the only thing keeping Scott from snapping.

Scott snaps because he knows Pearl doesn't care about him so he shouldn't be caring either even if its still obvious there's some lingering care still present it's overshadowed by the thought of "but I don't matter to her so what's the point."

Scott knows Pearl doesn't care to be his friend, he knows Pearl at the end rather be with Tilly rather than him, Scott knows Pearl killed Cleo with no shame or guilt, he knows Pearl doesn't care about him when the first thing she does is hold up a bow to him as he tries to take his life exactly like he promised.

I'm so in love with the psychological aspect of ml.

The way Gabriel is haunting the narrative? The way Marinette's secret is slowly ruining everything? The way Gabriels wish messed up almost any chance for Marinette to move on any time soon?

This gives us sooooo many possibilities on how it goes back to Marinette and Adrien, because they didn't get to resolve everything that happened (and ofc Adrien doesn't know LMAO). Not only do we get to see how Marinette's secret affects everything around her, BUT we also will get to see Adrien's reaction to everything that happened. (ofc it's not Marinette's fault. I don't want to hear a PEEP from yall, I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING) and if it absolutely WRECKS Adrien.

I'm so EXCITED to see how it all unfolds.

y'all I used to be normal about xander harris. I used to go yeah y'know I like him he's just a totally normal guy. I think he's really sweet actually, but hey I completely understand why some people may not like him

but the way the fandom treats him has pushed me SO far into defense it's like rewired my brain or something. actually he's done nothing wrong ever. I don't even care anymore. I take back every critique I've ever made of him. you don't Get Him like I do. he's written as terribly inconceivably ooc sometimes and you're all treating it like it's NORMAL!!!! when other characters are NOT subject to the same bullshit even when they're sometimes written even worse. we can wave away SO much shit for others, but xander? no, no, no. and when he IS in character, does ANYONE care to perhaps I dunno EXAMINE WHY HE'S ACTING LIKE THAT? oh? no? we're just gonna take it at face value, when we would not do that for any other character??? when he's written off and sometimes even intentionally off, then that's perfectly in line and just Who He Is Actually

I need to talk about the pack specifically because I have GRIEVANCES with the fandom here. what in the actual hell is going on. why are we acting like the possession was who he really is deep down??? it's clear that the hyena spirit is simply taking him at his base sort of thoughts I suppose (e.g., him having a hard crush on buffy, being jealous of angel, secretly knowing about willow but not requiting) and amplifying them to be HORRIBLE. at the end, he's visibly guilty over what he's done despite it being out of his control. he doesn't say anything because how COULD he? what would he even say? these are the most important people in his life, and he was forced to hurt them. and they obviously forgive him and don't blame him for what happened, because he's not exactly subtle about remembering, and I sincerely doubt they'd just let what he did slide if they thought he truly was responsible. these guys are all with the silent communication, and it's not always good, but it's how they roll. also, GUYS. THINK OF SPIKE'S MOTHER!!!! THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMILAR SITUATION!!!!! he has never in the entire time we've known him actively go out of his way to hurt people the way he does in this episode. because that's not who he is or who he ever wants to be

I also want to talk about how brave he is. I keep seeing people calling him a coward and it genuinely baffles me. are we watching the same show? what are you ON about?? even the show points it out: he's completely and utterly human, and standing up to fight evil on the front lines with everyone else anyways. there two absolute standout moments I especially adore and want to point out. and there ARE more moments, but these are my favourite. the first is when xander decides that if no one else will, he'll go help buffy fight the master, and alone if he has to. and he saves buffy, because he TRIED. I honestly don't think anyone else would've tried to save her once they saw she'd died like they were all told she would, but he did. because that's who he is. and the second is one my friend pointed out to me that is just so good, where xander stands up to angelus in the hospital. angelus could snap him in half within a blink of an eye, and xander tells him to leave. he's terrified, because he KNOWS if angelus wanted to then he'd be dead without being able to fight back, but he guards buffy like a little dog facing up against a lion. he wouldn't win, but maybe he could buy her just a little more time, maybe someone would notice and help her, maybe angelus will decide it's too much effort and leave like he desperately hopes, maybe maybe maybe. he's gambling with his life here, just like before by walking into the master's nest, and he'd do it again without a second thought to protect his loved ones. he DOES do it, again and again and again over the course of the show

this isn't to say xander doesn't have his flaws. he's not the best boyfriend for sure, and while those are mostly out of his own insecurities and trauma, it's still not a great. I don't give any of the other characters that excuse to let bad relationship behaviour slide and I won't give him it either, but it is at the least an explanation. that is just a real flaw that he struggles with throughout the whole show outside of anything else. he can also be very snippy and mean when he's feeling defensive, and he's got a bit of a possessive, jealous streak that isn't fantastic, but he's the heart for a reason. in fact I honestly think those traits work really well as cons for the heart

the xander we see in the show is someone who wants to be good and do good. he cares so, so immensely for everyone. EVERYONE who sticks around in this show, does xander latch onto to as one of his own people to look out for. he tries and tries and tries to do the right thing, to protect and take care of the ones he loves in any way he can, and he kind of sucks at it sometimes. he makes the wrong choices even when he means well, and sometimes when he doesn't. but god is he trying harder than almost anyone else on that show to just be A Good Friend. I'm going to go so far as to say I think he is actually a better person than almost every other character on this show (other than buffy and tara of course)

why isn't he enough when there are other characters who are SO much worse than him in this show?

Sanji having crush on Usopp since very beginning of their friendship but the one of the first things he hears from him is about Kaya. He connects the dots (correctly or not) that she is his girlfriend and since then suffers in silence because he doesn't want to be a homewrecker
