#i have a two week internship

[solvisun]

and the cycle repeats itself

ten years ago you were so scared of such different things, but you survived them anyway. the same goes for five years ago and two years ago. everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through. so be afraid, identify your fears, and then allow yourself to remember that in just a little while, this will be another thing that you have overcome.

so since I may be free this summer after all, would anyone be interested in an RP event that's a potluck? I've been wanting to do it for ages but there's never any interest compared to other themes

for a discord rp, I would make a separate server explicitly for this purpose so you don't have to be in any guilds or anything! I would also delete the server (or at least channel, if people would like an event-planning server long-term) after a week - enough time for people to read over their stuff but not preserved forever and ever.

The sneak peaks are awesome !!!!

(Also what happened in Miami???)

You mentioned Lestappen being competitive, are they exchanging notes? I wonder how is mark's reaction, to the whole thing, does he pretends not to notice anything, while dying slowly inside or perhaps he is planning how to kill the men one by one for corrupting his daughter (Not realizing Oscar is in total control, or is she?)

Also if you remember that apparently went shit, well I guess the result turned out a bit better than expected. (Very happy but half dead because of no sleep due to term exams)

-😴 Anon (why the fuck did I chose this??? I never get enough sleep)

thank you thank you 🙂‍↕️ (i'm not gonna reveal that because... it's kinda a big part of oscar's issue with lando? but also why she becomes bolder regarding the winner's room so... patience)

also more below the cut because i started to yap...

yeah that's basically it. charles heard max went down on oscar so he had to do it as well and be better than max. just for the sake of being competetive. doesn't even matter that he just won his home race..

and as for mark. well! behind the scenes, zak and andrea are trying to have a talk with him about oscar being suddenly popular in the winner's room, or well, popular with drivers from other teams. and sure, it would be fine if it were just that, but since lando clearly has expressed that he would like oscar to join him/he would like to join oscar, but it hasn't happened yet, despite the possibility being there...

well, they're taking their papaya family pr bs very seriously, especially zak. he wants his star drivers to get along, heck, he's even missing the days in 2023 when they were all lovely dovely but suddenly oscar is acting like she can't stand the sight of lando (she can't. literally. or else she'll punch him or worse)

and due to mclaren, but especially higher ups, making the winner's room stuff a big thing. well mark couldn't care less what oscar is doing as long she's safe and staying away from lando (multi-21 hits deep here) and considering she's doing that, all good from his side

okay so i didn't want to yap TOO much about winner's room background in that fic but, i think i need to elaborate with mclaren putting their nose in stuff where it doesn't belong

the winner's room has always existed in this au. over the years, the fia put rules down, in order to protect team secrets but also drivers. rules like not more than one other driver per race win invited and only race winners get to evoke the winner's room. but also the winner's room has to happen in the room the fia made ready, because, yk control

that's it from the fia side because they've put it down in the very early days and it's one of the things they're afraid to change, simply because it's so deeply ingrained in the sport.. it's also a way for them to pretend to be on the driver's side, saying shit like they're protecting their privacy bla bla bla.

and the teams don't have a say in that at all. they're not allowed to say no for a driver to join the winner's room, it's a decision only made by the driver himself. there are clauses that if one driver accidentally reveals team sensitive stuff, the other isn't allowed to share it with the team or else there will be consequences and the fia isn't afraid to punish drivers AND teams for breaking said rule (because of course it happened in the past)

drivers on the grid like the winner's room for two main reasons. 1. a way to act out their sexuality without anyone really judging them (considering it's seen as normal to have a winner's room with another driver (of the same gender)) and 2. it's one of the few things drivers can control 100%. they can refuse to join a winner's room if they get invited, they can refuse to hold one but rarely anyone does that

so when oscar joined the grid, of course drivers got excited to invite her to the room. but considering max was the one dominating the whole season (who mostly invited charles, because why wouldn't he (and sometimes he wouldn't even bother to evoke the winner's room)) there weren't any chances for that. when carlos won, he decided to invite charles so there is that

but then oscar won her sprint. and people saw her and max, the driver who just won the championship, enter and leave the winner's room, with oscar clearly leading the whole thing... they've come to their own conclusion

mclaren technically hasn't broken a rule regarding the winner's room by trying to mend relationship between their drivers but... it's considered bad etiquette to pull shit like this. and mark, who has also been a race winner, has been in the winner's room many times, he knows how that should be handled. and it's not the way mclaren should do things

so instead of worrying about all the men oscar is fucking, or they are fucking her, he's not the one to judge, he's worrying about mclaren and how to protect oscar. he's even considering talks with other teams because clearly, the papayas don't know SHIT

i hope my yapping cleared some things up? or well, explained some background to the au.. maybe you have even more questions after that LMAO

I love and hate getting hit with big project ideas (both of the writing and art variety)

love it bc they seem so fun!! i would like to do them for various reasons! i know finishing would leave me feeling accomplished, id learn some new stuff and practice some skills

hate it cause i have no time to finish and i eventually lose motivation to keep up

[schalotte]

having things to do is so good for me! today i got 3 internship tasks done + singing lessons + some reading + was just out and about which makes getting home and having a nice meal and going to bed so much more rewarding at the end of the day... tomorrow i'll need to do a decent amount of proofreading bc thursday i won't have much time for anything bc i'm meeting my friend at her place to do some closet spring cleaning :D and then i'll go to a poetry slam my boss is hosting! yay! friday i'll do the rest of the proofreading and then go to the movies perhaps. and i do need to use the weekend for my uni project that's due feb 29th lest it comes to bite me in the ass later on. you know how it is i've had a rough time but life is very beautiful

I love stressing myself out 🩷
