I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#nico rosberg#lewis hamilton#brocedes#like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked#because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave#& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment#his comment re max is just making me laugh#like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot#like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm#truly gods strongest soldiers#ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour#he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible#& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go#theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race#its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it#and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels#additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today#but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful#i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful#ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK#you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki#especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone#this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao#I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋️

Me when I see your very accurate chubby stv Shane art (I’ve seems way to many people make him skinny or with abs and I’m tearing out my beautiful, silky hair rn)
Listen…Shane in every shape is totally valid!!! So dont tear out your goregeous locks. We all just need to agree this man wears crocs with socks and khakis hahahhha
i referenced this photo for the shane with the abs just incase anyone is wondering. hahhaha
#doodle#stardew valley#stardew valley shane#sdv shane#liek he only has one pair of crocs and will theres a hole in the soles#he has them perpetually on sports mode to run away from his problems#jk but he does a lot of walking from his house to his job at Jojamart#i also think he has a collection of socks all mix and matched (im just too lazy to think of a desing lmao)

i really do admire how lando tries to not give a fuck (that 'whatever' really saddened me so much) but he actually does, and a lot.
guy doesn't even want anything absurd, he just wants the support of his team for the last fucking 4 races but no... let's just get humiliated for one point on international tv💀.
they're really stretching him thin — and i mean it in a emotional and mental wellbeing way. he is obviously inherently selfless and quite literally does not hold self-esteem, but in the last year we've seen him trying to be more sure of himself and trying to be selfish for once. the moment he does that though, he gets accused of being the spawn of satan. and then the team does everything in the world to make it harder for him.
so i really do admire him, because i literally would PERSONALLY leave the sport after this one season.
he's so much stronger than i am.
#im not saying he's not fit for the sport#but like his very dear friend carlos#it feels like he not only keeps his heart on his sleeve#but he also gives it away so freely in a sport full of rabid dogs that want some fresh meat#and he gets really hurt in the process#i relate to him so much bc of this#im not joking when i say his 'friendship' with max is nearing the end#and the team is not even mean they just don't get that when they have championships on the line YOU UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO PLAY FAVORITES#we got lesser teams doing it from the getgo when they have no reason to💀#and suddenly mclaren doesn't know how?#is it really that hard??#landino#lando norris#brazil gp 2024#rambling#it all started from hungary btw they really set the mood there and its been... foul#it's not even oscar's fault#he is a competitive teammate#he has every right to race#does lando really have anyone atp?#and yes yes i know they're rich billionaires they get paid for this#still doesn't mean they're insensible or immune to feeling betrayed or deceived or just sad bc they trusted someone#and he's a scorpio too so im SHOCKED about how he handles this#ALSO HE GIVES TOO MANY FUCKS#and he rightfully doesn't even give the blame to anyone but himself most of the times when i'd argue that it almost never is#your team is supposed to be your backbone in your first actual fight for the championship... and even after all the years of constant work#and points he brought#not even when finally the car is competitive they can actually do their job and support their driver that is the top contender?

Thinking rn about the trifecta of malicious compliance: Max giving one word responses and speaking to interviewers outside, Lewis wearing all that jewelry, and Seb wearing his underwear on top of his racesuit.
I guess I see Lewis and Seb as the most influential in the sport in this way, genuinely caring about getting justice and speaking out. Whereas, I love how for Max, it's like his disinterest in the bureaucracy in F1 circled back to him seeking justice. If that makes sense? I just mean, to me at least, he doesn't feel like the type to want to stand out like Lewis and Seb did, he just wants to drive, no? Yet him standing up against the FIA in this way is so brave and maliciously compliant in the exact same way. And you can see Lewis respects him for it to, considering he spoke out in Max's favor too. Makes me wonder what Seb's response would be if he was still in F1.
#i feel like max doesnt want to stand out or be a role model in the same way right?#but just by his sheer hatred of media and the bureaucracy. hes ended up standing out in the same exact way dhfjgkkg#i just like that yknow being forced to be outspoken#like he would love to just keep his head down and do his job whatever#but hes been forced into this position where he does actually have to seek justice#i find that dynamic funny#cause a lot of people talk about how being a wdc kinda changes you. and forces you to be like. the epitome of f1 i guess#if that makes sense? like you are a wdc you represent the sport etc#Max obviously doesnt rly seek that role and is just like. i just want to drive and win. it doesnt matter more than that#yet this whole press thing is one of the biggest retaliations against the fia ive seen in recent years#and exactly the type of thing fellow wdc role models seb and lewis would do#reluctantly following in their footsteps jdjfkfkf#f1#formula 1#max verstappen#2024 singapore gp

red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.
alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.
rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.
#like is red bull too harsh on their drivers or are they hiring a pr merchant who can’t perform. pick a side.#it’s just hilarious that every single person who actually knows the sport & daniel’s data/contributions#won’t shut up about how helpful he’s been and how well he’s done and how mclaren doesn’t reflect his performance#but these random people on twitter think they know better#and their excuse is ‘well liam scored points’ as if he isn’t driving a different car entirely lmfao#like liam has done well! i like liam a lot!#but he’s benefited from a better car/things happening around him in the race/not being head to head against yuki#he’s done a great job but there’s literally been ZERO real head to head comparison between the 3 drivers#but alpha tauri/red bull rate daniel and they have his data and know what hes done for the car & setup#i don’t ever deny that daniel’s popularity certainly doesn’t hurt#but they dropped nyck like he was nothing#red bull axes anyone who can’t perform#if daniel couldn’t do it then he wouldn’t have a seat. not that hard to understand.#people on the internet make me feral. i cannot use the internet. i need to stick to my curated feeds bc everyone is so STUPID.

Misano 2007
#what motogp in the late noughties really got is that ideally in sports you want a red team and a blue team#and they were the right way round... like yes casey should be red and valentino should be blue good job everyone#//#brr brr#heretic tag#this is the opposite of a race rec but in a way it does kinda encapsulate that year. like this was very much the vibe of the 2007 season#the track returns to big excitement after dorna breaks its promise never to go there again after rainey's career ending injury#because rather inconveniently the biggest star of the sport just happens to be born five minutes away#so they make the track go the other way and in doing so just make it a bit of an awful racing circuit#and at the very first race back... vale retires after yamaha's engine experimentation goes awry and casey wins after leading all the way#deeply anti climactic on every level#boys with a time machine: hi grandma#girls with a time machine: guys you can't change the engine regs there's a rivalry i NEED to see play out with better racing

formula one. the billionare boys club.
#formula 1#somehow i am still disappointed by the state of this sport#i miss seb so much rn#f1#christian horner#lando norris#lance stroll#the fact there is legitimate evidence and redbull instead suspended the women who reported horner is so disgusting#and the fact that drivers are content to say that its just noise#that they feel bad for horner#that he’s such a lovely guy who doesn’t deserve this is so fucking disgusting#daniel ricciardo#alex albon#and somehow alex was the most disappointing because i didn’t expect it#it’s a sport that is so heavily embedded in patriarchal values that i could pick ten drivers to say that and id never guess alex :(#they’ve set a precedent for men in motorsports that is a reversal of their we race as one message and its a horrific precedent to set#because it shows that team’s principals and the likes are given free passes for evidenced harassment in the workplace#whilst susie wolff and hannah etc face continual backlash for their presence#you didn’t just let horner keep his job-you let everyone in motorsports know how easy it is to get away with harassment#nico hulkenberg

i find it funny when people are like "if youre gonna be like that you can just leave" expecting you to immediately change your attitude and beg to be allowed to stay. i didnt even want to be here in the first place if you say the words "you can just leave" im outta there so fast i leave a me shaped hole in the wall.
especially if that person has been my employer for 10 whole minutes and has done nothing but rapid fire everything wrong with my outfit when they didnt tell me the dress code besides "black shirt and black pants" and then start getting rude and disrespectful when i start getting overwhelmed and ask if i can come in on thursday instead of wednesday so i can fix everything wrong with my uniform.
"if youre gonna be like that we cant have you here" ok bye! am i supposed to get on my hands and knees and beg you to let me stay? you have already shown enough disrespect for the whole day in 10 minutes when i have made it abundantly clear that this is my first job EVER and i am extremely nervous. you will not disrespect me just because you are my boss. respect is earned and that goes for people in positions of "authority" as well
(i write authority in quotes becasue what the hell are you gonna do? fire me? i just left! you have no real authority in the real world and you take that out on the people who work for you, because youre a weak little man with no control over his own life, who conditioned them into thinking they have no other real option besides working for you and homelessness. but you forget there are still people who have free will and can leave whenever they want, and autistic people who dont give a shit about what you think about them for doing that)
#the girl training me was nice and i told her i was on the verge of a panic attack so i hope she was not caught off guard by me just leaving#this fucking guy gave me a super sketchy look before smirking and shaking his head and just looking at the girl tho#idk what that was about but it scared me#dude looked like he wanted to hunt me for sport bro do not put your fuckin eyeballs on me like that bro#anti capitalism#antiwork#jobs#actually autistic#autistic adult#rant#ableism#autistic experiences#minimum wage#capitalist hell#go fuck yourself

Surely like, I mean the Mafia doesn’t care how they get their money right? Like so long as they’re getting the 80% of how much an exy player would make why would they care. So I present to u : Jean Moreau fucking off and becoming a really famous artist instead
#every. single. one.#of his conversations with Kevin#is Kevin trying to get him to play again#because he just can’t understand it#and Jean is SO GOOD and it’s SUCH A WASTE#and Jean just thinks annoying Kevin is another bonus of the job#it was mostly an accident#he did a sculpture for a college competition#and now suddenly he’s famous for something other than exy#and he kinda hates the sport anyway#he just follows wherever Jeremy’s team goes and complains about it not being inspirational enough#god i love him#jean moreau#i love jean moreau#jean moreau is gay#jean moreau deserves the world#jerejean#aftg#all for the game#aftg series#aftg hc#aftg kevin#aftg jean#aftg headcanon#aftg jeremy

[NOTE: this is not to be used as any evidence towards any anti-bakugou/bakugou hate rants, this is neither the intent behind its creation or its posting in a public space. I know these words will mean nothing to some people, and I will block you as is my right. Thank you for understanding.]
i wouldnt say ultra impact provides anything of major substance to any of bnha, and of course you run into any issue of arguing its canonicity.
but i do feel very strongly that it is very good at portraying the characters, like the writers get the essence of a character even if nothing of bombast is being done with them.
yes this is entirely because i am consistently happy with what materials the game provides for 1B, we got a 1B monoma-centric event which understands both that he is a competitive little prick who really would like to stick it to 1A, while also being intensely aware (in a very humble way) that he is NOT better at utilizing the quirks of his classmates after pulling off a fairly complicated strategy
Of course, he immediately undercuts himself by going back to his, "and with this we will be better than 1-A" schtick, but that too is part of his character.
#bnha#kiy must scream#monoma neito#bnha meta#im also very fond of tetsutetsu's trust story which goes into how he feels that he needs to train harder after the villains raid on the cam#it backs up a lot of trains of thoughts i had about his almost non-existent exploration of his personality outside of loud scream man#that part of him that wishes to be the strongest protector who can protect those he cares about#but i do ultimately feel that monoma is the best written of 1B across all official materials canon or otherwise#he's this joke of a character and then you get just one chapter in the joint training that uses previous concepts started with shinsou#and it just clicks into place as to why hes LIKE that and why the behaviors we see as his “comedic relief” couldve formed#and the side materials like the light novels does a wonderful job at continuing to explore that with how he doesnt WANT to do real harm#hes not trying to wound or maim any of 1A#he just thinks theyre all like bakugou as of sports fest that type of arrogance and all and hes learning its not the case#monoma as a character is INCREDIBLY intriguing to me#and before anyone says anything hes intriguing to me exactly the same way that bakugou is

i love beard so much bc he really is such a doormat at work and i'm obsessed with it
#like i think he pushes to get better at it but also tying in the fact that he thinks he's a lackey and blames himself#for their losses ad mistakes but like#i think he had a HARD time speaking up in kansas like . Actually speaking up.#like it's a sport ted knows like the back of his hand and beard trusts him#(also given his backstory on how his job was a lifeline like ofc beard won't feel comfortable speaking up#in fear of being sent back to the pound i mean prison)#so there's not a lot for beard to push back on. but that also means it's created an environment where beard goes with whatever ted says#whenever ted says it#i mean hell. beard dropped his life for ted because ted asked him to like he's such a FOLLOWER#so when they get to richmond and like for once beard knows wayyyy more than ted does and ted isn't listening to him#and beard doesn't push back at first like it lets ted barrel over him#and i don't think ted ever ever ever does it maliciously or on purpose but like#beard doesn't speak up so ted just goes ahead and does what he wants#until beard Does speak up and it's literally at a breaking point excacerbated by jane mocking him lmao

i think when cpurpled witnessed the wars and sever infighting he had a small realization of “oh right. not everyone is expertly trained in combat and the art of killing” as he watched ctommy fumble with a bow and cwilbur grip his sword wrong 90% of the time. but instead of being angsty about it and lamenting on what he lost having been raised as a killer instead of as a child he just went “fucking cringefail losers” and moved on
#icarus speaks#i think he was pretty Deep in his lifestyle before joining#between hits and jobs and bedwars games#killing people (permanently or not) just became another Daily Thing#whether you see hypixel bedwars as a blood sport or not#like. it still required intense skill in the art of fighting#so he low key forgot it wasn’t a constant for everyone#and he thinks it’s SO cringe. but it also boosts his ego. what are these people going to do against him?#he watched tubbo attempt to knock an arrow backwards the other day. he’s convinced wilbur would lose to a paper bag#he’s basically untouchable in early smp and i think he reveled in it a but#bit*

Émilien was 3rd, 22 secs behind the lead, when he started, took the first place after the first shooting, held it for the rest of the race, and was caught 3 meters from the finish line by someone who was clearly going much faster than him. How is that letting his team down or messing up?
Soerum just did a last lap that was out of this world
#Émilien Jacquelin#I’m not tagging this beyond his name because I don’t want to start beef with anyone#I just wanted to get it out of my brain#but yeah I think he can be proud of himself#the team is proud of him#and it’s normal that he was disappointed on the finish line#I don’t really understand where the critics are coming from#except I guess some bad blood that dates back to when I wasn’t watching this sport yet#so I can’t judge on that#on purely this race he did a good job#and if he keeps it up like that he could have a very good season
