quick Carlos & Charles collage ❤️❤️
| 📸 pumamotorsport + Esquire via sabrinabearzotti
#carlos sainz#charles leclerc#charlos#I adore making collages and the Esquire shoot is EVERYTHING to me omg Carlos' white lab coat esque jacket???????#I need to find HQs or get a copy fr fr#also I cannot believe I get into F1 and my fave driver duo is splitting T_T#but Charles and Lewis will be so fun I think!!!#manifesting Carlos to Red Bull which will Not happen (seems like a lot of behind the scenes tension? according to reddit#which is reddit so like not a bastion of accuracy lol)#tbh Daniel and Max at Red Bull would be the more likely dream!!!!#I just hope Carlos gets a spot for 2025#certainly he must but maybe he'll take a by-year? not sure how silly season shakes out just yet as a newbie fan#but at least for Charlos there is so much content to enjoy from the past!!!#also commonly asked q but why are they always blindfolded 👁️👁️#absolutely zero complaints but someone at Ferrari has the vision#anyways idk I love making collages and yapping in the tags but there is NO WAY I'd do all this yammering on someone else's post#so I think I'll make collages and chat away here no pressure to read all this LOL ❤️ hehe just sipping coffee before office time#if you are reading this I hope you have a great timezone whereever you are!!!!!! 🌆🏙️🌃#autumn posts

having many thoughts about "natural talent" vs growth and development and how that manifests differently in f1 vs other sports
#i think there is an actual essay that i never posted or proofread about this topic in my drafts from a few months ago#the fact that there are only 20 spots at the top creates this obsessive fixation on child prodigies#drivers with very high ceilings who reach their full potential a few years too late have no chance#if this was american football alex palou would be the 5th round draft pick that takes his team to the super bowl#<girl who knows very little about football but listened to alex rossi talk about tom brady today#and i love seing alex in indycar and i love indycar but it's a shame that it's completely impossible to see an arguably top 20 driver#in the world measure up at the top level of his sport#I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT HE COULD DO#like how are we living in a world where nobody wants to quickly throw scott mclaughlin into an f1 car and see what happens??#i mean this in the least disrespectful to indycar way#i don't even want to send these guys to f1 for good#i just wanna see how they would do in idk a monza quali. that's basically an oval anyways#mandatory rookie practice but only for dads over 27

excuse me? there’s a reason that space says no parking, my guy. the driver of the red suv uses a wheelchair. our maintence guys literally made that space specifically for her so she can safely get in and out of her car with enough space. you’re a dick.
#how stupid can you be it says no parking#and this nissan driver is a coworker#she knows why that spot is there#what the hell is she doing

given how albon performed today (44 seconds behind franco in the race) i think it's safe to say franco will be getting the williams seat next year, lol
well I live in a perfect world where the one getting the boot is consuelos shein, so i'm not worried at all
*edit*: been informed alex had a damaged car, please leave my inbox free of let's exchange alex with franco because i'm ready to throw under the bus like 7 drivers that are overdue before him
#tbh i know alex is probably in a dangerous spot against franco because it's clear who is the better driver#it would be crazy to let franco go seeing how good he actually is in this car i don't even want to know what he could do in a real car#so i just hope (begging actually) other teams pick him up#there are def other driver that should go before alex and have been here longer without no real result#and yeah i can't bear not to have alex on the grid he's one of my faves#ask time#alex#franco

Plot outlines are vital to my writing process. They help me hone in on the trajectory of the story, giving my brain something to ignore while taking the draft in an entirely different direction.
#every time#EVERY TIME#i generally stick to the overall plot arc i had in mind#in terms of working toward the basic ending i planned#but my detailed outlines are a graveyard of ideas my brain turns down in favor of bullshit it makes up on the spot#trust the process#but have you considered that my process is being steered by a drunk driver with no regard for where i said we were going#like i just wrote a scene that completely contradicts the order in which i had planned to reveal certain information#but its good so of course now i have to keep it and figure out how to restructure the rest going forward#writer problems#writer life#on writing#writing#plot and structure#plot

haunted by the knowledge that sega loves referencing their franchises and how many missed opportunities there were for kiryu to meet sonic the hedgehog
#snap chats#//me three seconds before making this post// im going to make a post SO niche#NO LISTEN TO ME sega all star tennis.... sonic riders...... ok those are all the examples i got BUT STILL#like in sonic riders you get to play as three non-sonic sega ips AND the sega carnival levels are literally just love letters to sega ips#MY BROTHER IN CHRIST THEY GOT OPA OPA THERE !!!!! they even have vehicles based off of Super Hang On and Hang On#and when you equip them the ost changes to those games' themes !!!!!!!#shaking and crying cause at the sega carnival they have a spot for crazy taxi WHICH#AGAIN I HAVE TO REITERATE THE AMOUNT OF LOVE SEGA SHOWS FOR THEIR IPSLK i love...#anyway i have a reason for this mention. sit and hallucinate with me kiryu having to Be A Taxi Driver#and then he gotta drive sonic bitch ass around. durin a fuckin race#the urge to make a comic of that is so strong.... and the fact kiryu and sonic are in it means it'd be funny to a lot of people...#SURE the enjoyment of sonic riders is niche APPARENTLY but everyone like kiryu... eveyrone like sonic...#and itd only be like two panels lol.... im not doing that now tho. or ever maybe idk we know how my motivation is#it'll be there red hot one minute and then gone never to be seen again#it doesnt even have to be a comic it could just be a silly lil doodle#RIP all those comics i have collectin dust in my folders...#ok im done bobmarding eveyrone with Hyper Specific posts. tonight. i promise :)#theres a bonus joke here about daigo being in kiryus taxi again. lol <- please shut up#bye bye now

y'all ever had the cops called on you for parking legally, centered AND straight in a parking spot...? yeah — me either. at least not until today.
#✯ — [ ʰᵒʳˢᵉˢ ᶤᶰ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ] ⨯ ooc#i drive#a ford transit 250 for work.#it's going to take up 98% of any parking spot i put it in.#lady pulls in#parks at an angle with her front driver side tire on the line#her back passenger tire on the opposite line. she was crooked as hell.#the only spot open in the lot is next to her — wonder why.#now#if there's anything i know how to do#it's how to fuckin' DRIVE. so i say fuck it and park how i usually do.#back in — straight with the lines#probably less than an INCH off center.#now...i can get out because of the horrid angle she parked at. put my door about 3 feet away from her car.#HER door ? less than a foot. but honestly ? not my problem.#i walk into chipotle and immediately get told to move my van.#now.........i did tell her 'you can ASK and i'll think about it.' which could be considered rude#BUT SHE YELLED AT ME AS SOON AS I WALKED INTO THE DOOR.#back and forth ensues#she says “i should call the cops” and i told her “call 'em then.”#and they came. all 6 of them. all told this lady to leave and my van stayed parked where it was. lmao#idk what she thought they were gonna do. but it was funny seeing the look on her face when they refused to tell me to move.#and to watch her squeeze between my van and her car.#i hate the city i work in man...#anyway sorry if y'all read all that.#i accidentally drank a soda after 9:30 so i may be around here for a little bit.#tbd

When you get your soft, italicized "oh."
The Missed Opportunity
This one comes with a pang. It is the wrinkled brow of something unpleasant sinking in. They've left to find some new adventure. Or they've met someone else. And you have only just begun to understand their true importance to you. You watch them drift toward a future without you, and in that stark numbness of their absence, it hits you. Oh. Oh, you want them close. You hopelessly, selfishly want them all to yourself. You'll support them no matter what, but you don't want them to want a future that doesn't involve you. You want them to read the near-invisible signs of your love and decide to take a chance on you. You never want to say that you *used* to know each other. So what are you going to do?
The Unrelated Moment
You tend to be more preoccupied with practical things, to the point where you've been blinded to matters of the heart. Sure, you're close with this person. You like to be close with people. It is rewarding to know and be known in return. You leave realization no choice but to sneak up on you. They're not even in the room when it happens. Someone or something else spells it out for you, an observant friend's passing comment or a particular sentence you were reading in a book, and suddenly it hits you, what it all means. The person your feelings have been building themselves around. Oh. It's them. It's time. It's them and you, here and now, and you have to decide what to do at this crossroads. Luckily, you're practically-minded.

oscar oscar oscar <3<3<3
#the funniest (=worst) thing for me was that#i’ve been having really bad internet connection all weekend#so in the last few laps#i couldnt tell how much oscar was behind because the quality was so bad that i couldn't see what numbers there were#they were all just white blobs#so i was like !! is he gonna overtake someone?? is he close?? i cant tell bcs they also wont film him????#and every time he moved up a spot i jumped in my seat because i wasnt expecting it#my brother came in and asked who the drivers on the screen were at some point and i had no idea bcs i had just been watching the numbers#the non-existent numbers 🙃#anyways lando podium tomorrow 🙏 lets keep him in our prayers

I like that tanimuras like “damn when you hit forty its just talk talk talk .. when are they gonna be done ...” and then cut to date and kiryu and theyre literally standing beside each other in silence and dates like okay gotta run and kiryus like yeah .. see you ... and they both find it a very meaningful bonding experience
#Yakuza liveplay#jnnggn not recieve you as the credit theme ....#okay i cant wait for the saemaji marriage post credits scene and then its yakuza 5 for me#finally taxi driver baka mitai .......#and maybe even saejima karaoke ...#thinking of who kiryu chooses to spend his silence with .. i think he doesnt need to talk with the people hes closest to#their simple presence is enough .. kiryu doesnt feel the need to entertain them ...#lmao the credits of all the companies they partnered with like suntory and don quixote#anyway if i ever write kiryu on a date with someone he really likes theyll just be standing or walking in silence like not necessarily even#holding hands they can be like five meters apart (this id gonna segue into the kazumaji beach date again) like kiryu just needs to know#theyre there and he looks over every now and then to confirm it. like how majima keeps the people he likes in his blind spot he likes#knowing that theyre there. holy shit theres a guy named nishikawa akira in the credits#i just like thinking of how kiryu acts when he loves someone .. he’ll literally just stare at them and think about how much they mean to him
