[snazzy-serpent]

[garageofshumii]

back with another bearnelli primer! this time, let's talk about the interview. emphasis on the because holy crap, it is absolutely insane.

so, what is the interview exactly? glad you asked. published by formula 2 on october 30th, 2024, the interview is essentially just a series of questions that someone asked kimi and ollie about their relationship. let's get started:

───────────────────────────────

all images taken from this interview

first question: how would you describe your teammate?

kimi: well, ollie's really funny and nice and he's an amazing teammate and i'm learning so much from him because he's so talented and our relationship is perfect-

ollie: he's beautiful.

oh dear. message to mercedes and haas and ferrari- never media train these two. they're too precious ❤️

───────────────────────────────

question two: what's your teammate's best quality?

kimi: he's got really good one lap pace and his race starts are incredible. he's just so good at racing!

ollie: idk, maybe his lips.

?!?!?!?!

you can't make this stuff up 😭 ollie if you keep saying things like that they're going to pr train you. you can't let that happen!! just keep it less obvious, okay?

───────────────────────────────

question three: if your teammate wasn't a racing driver, what would they be?

kimi: did i mention ollie's tan line? yeah, he has the perfect tan line to be a cyclist, about midway up his thighs-

ollie: i know kimi's family really well.

this one's not that bad. ollie's showing that he knows kimi extremely well and kimi's making it very clear to everyone that he has a picture perfect memory of ollie's thighs for some reason!

───────────────────────────────

question four: what's your teammate's most annoying habit?

surely there must be something kimi does that ollie doesn't like and vice versa? everyone has annoying habits, even if it's not that big a deal there still must be something-

ollie: he's not annoying at all. he's a little late sometimes but i'm also late and we are late together and if we arrive late together then that's early for us.

kimi: he's not annoying. although we do annoy other people because we stole his coach's ID so we could terrorise him together like the power couple we are.

-nevermind. they come as a package. do not separate them!!

───────────────────────────────

question five: who's the funniest?

kimi: i'm not sure.

ollie: we're both funny and he makes me laugh a lot but i make him laugh a lot as well! it's so dangerous but i love it since he's just amazing.

kimi: together we can make people laugh. we laugh all the time together and we also have inside jokes that make us laugh so hard we can't focus! like "a la frutta", which is also our new favourite word, yes, we have one-

wow. they're hopelessly obsessed with each other.

───────────────────────────────

question six: what's the most embarrassing thing you've done whilst on the same team?

kimi: the pictures of us wearing the costume. the horrors.

ollie (explaining the horrors): there are pictures printed out of me and kimi when we dressed up for easter. they are everywhere. kimi was a rabbit and i was a bunny. i was yellow and he was pink and the photos are everywhere.

the photos in question:

photos from @bestofbearman on x

video from prema's youtube

ollie... that's a chicken. oh well.

───────────────────────────────

question seven: if you had to cook a meal for your teammate, what would it be?

kimi: pasta (which is his favourite dish).

ollie: you'd make me pasta?! what kind?!! do you remember the pasta we always get in jeddah together?

kimi: yeah!! ragu d'antra (duck ragu)!

ollie: bigoli all'antra! (with bigoli pasta)! and we have the same order, so i'd make the same thing for him as well ❤️

───────────────────────────────

question eight: who's the better looking?

ollie (lying): me.

kimi: there's no one more beautiful than i am.

yeah... hey kimi, i'm sure ollie thinks you're the most beautiful as well.

───────────────────────────────

question nine: who knows the most about cars?

ollie: kimi knows a lot about lap times.

kimi: i'm obsessed with ollie lap times. i remember all of them. but ollie knows a lot about historical cars.

ollie: we're both amazing at knowing technical aspects.

───────────────────────────────

question ten: who's on their phone the most and who takes the longest to reply to a text?

kimi: it depends on the message, i leave some people on read.

ollie: hmm. hey kimi, how many messages have you not replied to?

kimi: it's not that bad. look- five!

ollie: i have 267.

kimi: ...how?

ollie: it depends. i don't respond but i respond to kimi straight away.

lies!! he replies to kimi gay away. to quote @lewispitlane: "ollie, stand up"- he's so down bad. someone pick him up off the floor...

───────────────────────────────

question eleven: what is the biggest thing you've learned from each other?

ollie: he's turning me into a proper italian, the next step is to get married and i'll have italian citizenship-

kimi: i'm teaching him italian.

ollie: i'm teaching him life lessons.

kimi: we talk so much about our life and it's not just about racing it's about so many other things i know lots of bits of information about him and he knows things about me.

ollie: we are really equal on track, he's just as good as me and we're just perfect.

kimi: but we always learn from each other and share tips on braking in corners or things like that and our relationship is so good because we talk about our life as well-

kimi, at this point you're just repeating yourself. it's okay, we know you're ollie's biggest fan. you'll be fine he's your biggest fan as well.

───────────────────────────────

question twelve: what is one thing you've always wanted to say to the other but haven't yet?

kimi: ...

ollie: we can't say here. oh- i want to go to his birthday party though!

kimi: he does have an invitation to my birthday, he just doesn't know it yet. but i do have to tell him when it is... ollie? hey, i have to tell you something really quick-

───────────────────────────────

question thirteen: who spends the most time in the gym and who's on the sim more?

ollie: when he's not with me, kimi's constantly in the sim.

kimi: whenever i can i am in the sim.

ollie: i scroll on tiktok and my algorithm shows me kimi in the sim.

kimi: for the gym, it depends. our trainers set us on different programs but he cycles a lot, remember my earlier point about the thighs? and i am definitely spending more time in the sim, because i am a bit crazy about it. and ollie as well.

ollie: when we had a bad week kimi said he was going to simrace during the night. and i was thinking "why would you"? only kimi would do that and i love him so much for it.

kimi: i actually did do that.

ollie: yeah, and you crashed into some people.

kimi: ...yeah.

───────────────────────────────

question fourteen: who would win in an arm wrestling match?

ollie: i think you have to say yourself but i do have longer arms.

kimi: i don't want to try.

ollie: i have heard some scary stories where people break their arms. maybe after abu dhabi, we can try.

kimi: we can do it at my birthday!

───────────────────────────────

bonus: would you rather do a shoey out of your teammate's shoe or your boss's shoe?

kimi: oh definitely ollie's shoe.

creds. @lewispitlane (this is the bearnelli interview. i miss those prema boys.)

[null-doesnothing]

haven't drawn these goobers in a bit but holy crap am I proud of how they turned out LOOK

THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!!!! THE GUYS!!!! THE GUYS EVER!!!!!!!! TUMBLR STOP EATING MY IMAGE QUALITY I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beechicory]

Thinking about which drivers have Modern Face. Which would fit in a period drama, vs. which have definitely seen an i-pad.

KMag? Period drama face. He'd be amazing. Nearly every era. Hulkenberg? Modern face. He'd look like the owner-operator of a midsize car dealership got forcibly time travelled.

Checo? Modern face. I just can't imagine him looking normal in mutton chops.

George? Come on. He's got period drama written all over him. But not a BBC one, one of those lesser channels', one that's not quite as good quality, where the people are noticeably wearing eyeshadow and the costumes would get a disapproving mention from the historical fashion YouTubers.

Zhou? Oh my God, he'd be amazing in a period drama. Excuse me while I get distracted by mental images of him in a Victorian suit and velvet waistcoat. Oh my God, he'd be so good.

Seb? I would have said modern face but then they dressed him up in that 20s outfit to drive the 1922 Green Pea, and 👀. Oh my God. He looked like he absolutely belonged, it was ridiculous. No more suits, only gentleman farmer waistcoats.

Lewis? My initial instinct is to say "he can do what he wants, next question", but honestly I'm torn. I think it's his smile, his smile feels modern to me. But then imagine him in like late Georgian/Regency...hey get back here, that's long enough, snap out of it! So I think he teeters on modern face, but in the right costuming he'd be amazing.

Pierre? Ooooooh. I think Modern Face, except maybe as a Regency-era farm worker? ...no, he still looks like he's never seen a pair of suspenders and he'd have an allergy to tweed.

Alex? He would be so good in a Jane Austen. Like he'd be an amazing Mr. Bingley, holy crap; even though Alex is also a sarcastic, snarky rascal, he can portray extreme sweetness, and he'd be SO GOOD...oh no now I'm fancasting a Pride and Prejudice.

Esteban? I adore him, but that's a Modern Face. An adorable modern face, but a modern face. I just can't imagine him in any period drama without my reaction being a grin.

Max? Probably controversial but I think Modern Face. I just can't imagine him in most eras, and when I try to envision him in a period costume he refuses and is still just wearing Red Bull team gear. Like, mayyyyybe something mid/late Georgian - I could kind of envision him as a rival to Mozart, weirdly. But that's literally all that will come up when I try to imagine. It's Mozart or nothing. Modern face, I'm afraid.

... though maybe Victorian, like humble gentleman popping into a darkened shop in a Dickens adaptation...Ehhhh, still gonna say modern, because it would take a lot of work.

Franco? Oh I'm torn. I think he could do it. Actually wait it'd be fun to see him in something vaguely Elizabethan. Hmmmm. Another one where the era might matter. Oh but wait, Edwardian??? Oh heck yes. Or, like, Roman for that matter. Okay I'm changing my mind, he has period drama face, dang. If he doesn't get an F1 ride this coming year (boooooooo), he has a new career option.

I need your opinions, my friends.

holy crap that image quality is killing me

raph! and chicken! inspired by the intro. i know it was probably just a gag but if the chicken isn’t in the show i will cry :(

also her name is felicia, seth rogen told me

[kaleaido]

Okay, okay, so, i think about Tacomic a LOT and so I have a lot of thoughts but I have one specific one.

I think Tacos love language is gift giving/acts of service((She’s given Mic a couple gifts in canon!)) because shes bad at words and Microphone’s is quality time.

I have a specific image in my head of Taco wanting to do something for Mic—like, for example, make her dinner— but since Taco only knows how to make tea from what we know, she makes the most GOD AWFUL MEAL EVER and Mic is like, “I appreciate this so much. anywho you’re banned from the kitchen.” And it makes me laugh DKDDDJ Just Taco trying so hard to make something special for Mic and Mic loves that Tacos trying!! The sillies !!!!

HOLY CRAP YOURE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE GIFTING PART, I NEVER NOTICED THAT UNTIL NOW!!! I giggled cause this actually fits their character SO well ob my goddd. please im begging on my knees that there will be a HINT to more of their love language in the canon stuff I DONT CARE HOW SMALL IT IS I JUST NEED IT💔💔💔

[champmorado]

WAIT HUH? i know it's just the shitty image color quality but holy crap. trans chick hicks canon

[gracebethartacc]

FINALLY FINISHED THE MAGICIAN FAMILY REFS HOLY CRAP THIS TOOK FOREVER

Some close ups bc I know tumblr will probably butcher the image quality,,

[beth-purcell]

Beth Rambles about Bendy

because holy crap I may have been hit with a horrifying aha moment. And full disclosure, I am aware that it sounds very Tin Hat and making a lot of assumptions, but at this moment I need to get it spewed out of my head. So be aware that I'm going to be emulating the Pepe Silvia meme

And just as a heads up, I'm mentioning the designs that were leaked in the Dreams Come to Life graphic novel so click Keep Reading at your own risk! And please don't be rude or try and go after anybody, this is my own opinions and frazzled freight train thoughts.

So I just got hit with a realization regarding the graphic novel and the whole decanonization with the books.

Mike and Meatly did it so they could avoid the backlash of the designs in the graphic novel and whatever they've got planned with the games moving forward, especially as it pertains to the character's designs. Or alternatively, they did it (the blunt "the books aren't canon anymore") to distract and/or pull one over on the fans so that way they can put their designs into the games and not deal with as much as scrutiny.

Cause we've seen with BATDR that they've improved the designs of the human characters compared to Joey in BATIM, and given we have both The Cage, a game that's focusing on the horrors of GENT (which involve human experimentation as far as BATDR hinted at) and B3NDY probably focusing on the aftermath of BATDR from Audrey's perspective, which you would think would involve her trying to deal with her new living toon roommate while factoring the consequences of being pulled into the Inky Hellscape on a Monday/Tuesday depending on the time Wilson dragged her in and how long she was actually trapped there (which ya know, wasn't answered in game). Either way, there's a lot of potential of more human characters to interact with, and if they really wanted to push the idea of a more "mature" and "experimental" [And boy do I have thoughts about that], what better way than having in-universe film of experiments or photos of the victims, or even flashback sequences we could play through?

It's not a secret that Mike and Meatly are very controlling in regard to their IPs (Adrienne confirming that they had a hand in every book; what happened to Showdown Bandit; Mike's own comments in the Bendy AMA; etc) and they have a tendency to ignore the room and stick their foot in their mouths (The fact it was only Mike that made acknowledgement of the Kindly Beast Firings and the accused workplace abuse; Mike deciding to "be clearer" on Meatly's comment regarding the books being fun extras; the situation less than two weeks ago that led to Mike to delete his Twitter again; etc). And let's be real, the quality control on the graphic novel is abyssmal, even for a extremely rushed project. Like I'd argue this is past "get it done good enough" or "we're making games for stupid kids" and I'm in absolute shock that this is what happened.

Obviously the idea of them on purposely setting things in place to either distract the fan base or try and claim control over the "canon" would imply that they are competent enough to think ahead and be able to convince Scholastic to risk customer goodwill, but I find it so strange that they started this takedown of the books's role in the canon less than two months away from Fade to Black's release and then the continuing snowballing. It's probably more likely that Mike got tired of people praising the books for their work and wanted control, and basically convinced Meatly that they had to change the books' canon status because it wouldn't fit with their plans, and they didn't think of the consequences, especially after people found leaks and preview images and the fact that people still know what Mike had said in regard to diversity back during the Bendy AMA:

And while I've been putting blame on Mike, as he's been the one to be more vocal and obvious, Meatly is just as bad for letting this to get to this point, for letting Mike stick his foot in his mouth and constantly put the Bendy brand in a negative light and undermine him with every opportunity. Like I don't know what the business relationship is like, but at some point you gotta put your foot down.

As much as it's unlikely, I do like the theory @mickeys-malarkey posted where there could be more to the whole graphic novel of Buddy's take on events that just being an adaptation. I mean the idea of the graphic novels being an extension of Joey's attempts to cover his ass would be an amazing spin on the Mascot Horror media outside of the video games.

Hopefully those two manage to keep quiet for a while and not pull a "OwO here be the Cage's trailer~! And Lone Wolf Release!" and try to drown out the graphic novel's release but I'm not holding my breath xp

“Star Trek is a whole Franchise nowadays”, Alberich explained to Catherine, sorting through the stack of DVDs in his lap. “There’re better things in the genre, but it’s a cult classic. We’ll start with the bad parts so you’ll see the high quality stuff when your prefrontal cortex is developed enough to appreciate it. What you need to know is-…”

The doorbell rang, twice in quick succession.

“Never mind”, he said, “There’s your mother. We’ll watch it next time.”

He got up, downed his glass because he didn’t trust Catherine around it, then walked to the front door. Irene was a little early, actually –  it was a quarter to seven, but Alberich wasn’t complaining. This way he could still watch the show, just without someone crapping their pants on the stroke of every hour sitting next to him.

He opened the door and there was fucking Kai instead of Irene, purposefully glowering at him in a well-fitting suit.

“I’m here to pick up my daughter”, he announced, glancing over Alberich’s shoulder as if he expected the house to be secretly on fire.

“She’s still alive”, Alberich informed him and let Kai in. “We’ve done alright for ourselves.”

They entered the living room where Catherine thankfully hadn’t dived off the couch but was sitting peacefully, sucking on the corner of a DVD case. The sight of the little girl changed Kai’s icy features to immediate spring. 

“There’s my princess”, he cooed, lifting her like a holy grail and peppering her belly with kisses. Catherine started giggling frantically at this, and Alberich had to admit she was fairly sweet with her baby tooth smile.

“Your princess shat her diaper quite a lot for a two hour stay”, he let Kai know. “Not sure if that’s normal or cause to see a doctor.”

“We know perfectly well when our daughter needs a doctor, thank you.”

“Righty roo”, he replied and hoped Catherine wouldn’t turn out as much of a bitch as her father. One look at the guy with his arrogant posture and arrogant face and arrogant clothing and nothing in his brain to warrant such hubris put Alberich at a constant loss how Irene, with her perfectly reasonable brain, had settled on this hack of a guy. Alberich had never met any of Irene’s exes, but he couldn’t believe Kai was the jackpot on the male market. That was, male and female market. No really, out of most people in the world Irene had settled for this-…

“We’ll be on our way”, Kai interrupted his mental voodoo-dolling. “Irene sends her regards.”

“Don’t forget the deer.” Alberich indicated the plushie Catherine had thrown across the room, and as Kai bent to pick it up his eyes fell on the paused image on the TV. He froze.

“Is that Pulp Fiction?”

“Don’t worry, we skipped the sex dungeon scene.”

“You watched Pulp Fiction with my daughter?!”

There was carefully controlled fury to the arrogant posture now, and the worshipping smile reserved for Catherine had been replaced by an approaching thunderstorm. Maybe that was what Irene liked about him; he was, in a way, fun to mess with.

“Kidding.” Alberich put on a reassuring smile. “It was still on from before she got here.”

Kai glared at him, though some of the murder left his eyes. “That’s not funny.”

“Not at all, no.”

Snatching his daughter’s backpack out of its corner Kai stalked towards the front door, holding a babbling Catherine close to his chest.

“Just one last question”, Alberich called after him.

“Yes?”

“What’s the deer’s name?”

Kai faced him as dignified as possible while holding a stuffed animal and a drooling toddler.

“It’s Lulu”, he said and shut the door with a bang.

-

“Dick”, Alberich mumbled. On the other side of the door Kai was having similar thoughts, only he didn’t voice them – he had a duty as a parent, after all. Still tense from the unpleasant exchange he slid his phone out and pressed the speed dial to Irene’s work phone. She’d had to hurry to the bookstore to sort out a butchered delivery, cutting their drinks after dinner short. It had still been a magical evening – every night with Irene was, and the thought of going back to their shared apartment filled him with the warmest kind of pride.

But first he checked Catherine for any kind of damage. He trusted Irene’s judgement on Alberich, he really did. But every minute he spent with her obnoxious biological father made him think how little the man deserved to be with their precious baby. He hoped Alberich got the dumb Russian research grant he’d mentioned at their last dinner, that way they’d be rid of him for at least a couple months. Sure, they’d have to find another babysitter– most of their friends were either very far away or very busy – but he’d rather leave Catherine with a stranger than her rude and uncultured pseudo grandpa. Or well, maybe not with a stranger, but with a… The more he thought about it the more he realized he didn’t want to leave Catherine alone at all. If it were feasible, he’d carry her in his arms all day long, hiding her bright eyes from the evils of the world. But alas, he was forced to let her go and trust, trust in life and in other people.

Apart from Irene, trusting was not his strong suit.

The call went to voicemail, so she was probably still knee-deep sorting out the mess. Charming visions filled Kai’s mind: him cooking a comforting dinner, him massaging Irene’s shoulders as she ranted about her night, her singing Catherine to sleep as he listened from the living room. He had no idea what he’d done to deserve this beautiful life.

After he’d verified that there were no cuts or bumps on Catherine’s body (Alberich’s apartment hadn’t been babyproofed at all) they set off, a cab carrying them through the night towards home.

(Casually carrying two 5-gallon jerrycans of gasoline through your blog's backyard, toward his own.)

(Has secretly constructed a 50-foot tall effigy in the shape of a human from sticks, logs, broken pallets, dead trees, 2x4s, and other flammable debris. Has remained unnoticed while you were playing Pokemon, the last four days.)

(Has nestled several more jerrycans inside the effigy, along with propane tanks, bottles of lighter fluid, aerosol cans, taped-together packs of fireworks, and a handful of occult items.)

(Has stationed several animate replicas of himself, constructed from trash and rocks, around the effigy to guard it until the July 4th celebration.)

Me, watching through the kitchen window:
