I need Carlos to win another race! Please god! Ever since the Monza win the Lecfosis have dialled up their annoyance level!
Like the man literally went offline for a week. Noone knew his whereabouts until like yesterday. Yet he was the topic of conversation for them. And for the stupidest reasons!
The whole nickname thing. God forbid the man who has the same name as his father also has the same nickname. The nickname which turns out alot of Spanish athletes get!
And on the other nicknames, just because you haven’t heard them doesn’t mean they aren’t real, especially when there are multiple evidences of them being used!!
And don’t even get me started on the whole Zak and Williams situation. Like what does that have to do with Carlos??? He was catching strays for nothing! (I’m blaming this one on James and his whole “it was like dating” spiel) And turns out Zak wasn’t dropped from Williams and is still part of their driver academy!
And also apparently making it look like Maya and Ollie don’t like Carlos because we said they’re one of his grid kids!
I haven’t seen it yet, but I know somewhere there must be a Lecfosi blaming Carlos for Newey not going to Ferrari and bunch of other Lecfosis going exactly. 🙄
Leave him alone you weirdos! And keep his name out of your mouths

I think the thing is that yes textually Carol Dallon is/was an atrocious adoptive parent whose incompetence, neglect, preconceived notions and unexamined traumas and whatnot contributed to the process by which Amy Dallon was wrapped in chains and bundled into the express pneumatic tube to hell, and there's a certain gravity to the dynamic as written which requires a nuanced and thoughtful approach lest you fall into Certain Pits. This is of course in tension with the other universal truth which is that it is never not funny to go full turbodickensian in depicting Amy's Awful Childhood Under Carol

Ok hear me out....
Rengoku
But all he says is Umai
I know and read that some people might find it cringe when he shouts his Umai, but gosh I actually fell in love with him with his first umai shout, so I am totally digging this 😂
So let's create following scenario:
What if Umai is the only word in his vocabulary? (don’t think too logically here and just imagine a crazy blood demon art, alright?)
Imagine then the different tones he would say it. Not him shouting it like we know, but the different vocal nuances. When he has a question and goes: “Umai?”
Or if he gets angry and is all broody, his voice grumbling in that deep timber. “Umai…!”
Or when he hears you giggling because his soft kisses tickled you and he also chuckles out his “Umai”
Or when suddenly his kisses travel down your body, making you whimper, and whispering at each lick and kiss a soft and seductive “Umai~”

A fun detail from the German DISCO ELYSIUM translation!
Harry uses the polite pronoun "Sie" to address Kim, in combination with his first name. "Sie" (always capitalised) is a respectful form of "you", instead of "du", similar to French and Spanish having two "yous" (tu/vous and tú/usted). Normally, you would use "Sie" with someone's last name, to use formal speech and be respectful. Kim does so, he is being polite.
However, Harry using "Sie" together with Kim's first name is an unusual combination, and actually has a name: the "Hamburger Sie". (The city of Hamburg in the north of Germany, not the food).
"The Hamburger Sie" is a form of address in the German language in which you call someone by their first name and then use the polite form of address (example: "Frank, could you (formal) come here, please?").
It represents a middle ground for communication situations in which, on the one hand, people are not familiar enough to address each other by their first names and, on the other hand, addressing someone by their last name is perceived as too distant."
NOT ONLY is this an amazing way of showing Harry and Kim's relationship with pronoun use alone, but also gives Harry some additional characterisation:
he is a Northern lad, and expresses himself with a mix of formal/informal speech, but which is an expression of his upbringing and hometown - as well as his own way of carefully approaching Kim: Wanting to be familiar with him, but not wanting to be too head-on.
bless these translators, more to follow, I love this translation
